Hey guys, it's been four weeks, so I'm back here again, and as usual I have no idea what's going to come out of this chapter, so if you've stuck to it this long let's hope you'll like this part as well.

Ventus

I glided through the Lane Between, Kairi not too far behind me. She had been confused when I said we needed to head back to Yensids Tower, but she had given up on trying to figure out why when she saw my face. Either we'd been spending too much time together or I had more in common with Sora than I thought.

We exited the Lane Between, but ended up a little closer to the tower than usual, as in right next to the wall. I flipped my glider into the air and dove down, and explosion of light following me. I summoned my glider to my feet so that my back was facing the ground. I turned around and saw Kairi whoosh past me so I flipped my glider over and sped down towards her. Right before I reached her a black blur snatched her out of the air, a few feet above the ground.

When I landed I saw Roxitas standing next to Namine with Kairi in his arms, hers rapped around her neck. "What was that?" he asked, his voice filled with an uncharacteristic amount of concern.

"I'm not sure, we were on our way here to work on a plan to find Sora, and when we came out it wasn't the same place as usual." I answered, looking at Namine who was looking sadly at Roxitas. "Maybe this has something to do with the worlds moving."

"Maybe." Roxitas said, gently putting Namine on the ground and walking towards the building. "Either way, we've got a lot of work to do. Ven, do you know where the rest of the Keyblade wielders are?"

"Riku and Terra spend most of their time here." I answered as I followed him through the entrance of the tower, the girls close behind. "It's pretty hard to find Aqua though."

"Great, I was hoping to have everyone here." He said as he walked up the steps, his limp back from the last time I saw him. "What about King Mickey, I thought he had a Keyblade too."

"Oh yeah, I'm sure Master Yensid can get in contact with him." I answered as we went straight past the first floor. "And of course there's Lea too, no one ever knows where he is."

"He's in the World that never was." Namine said, her hand going over her mouth right after she said it. "I wasn't supposed to tell you guys that."

"What could he possibly be doing there?" Roxitas said angrily, turning around to face the blonde girl. "I've already searched that world; I've turned over every stone. I told him to stay away!" Roxitas punched the wall, his eyes glowing, and black energy billowing up around him. "There's nothing there, nothing's left."

"Roxitas…" Namine started, walking up the stairs and putting her hand on his shoulder. "Calm down, he just wanted to go back there and see for himself."

"No!" Roxitas shouted, slapping Namines hand away, his eyes seeming to reflect the light of the stair case better than usual. "You guys gather everyone else, I'm going to get Lea, alone." He said that last part looking at Namine before he was engulfed in black smoke.

"What was that about?" Kairi asked angrily, looking at the still darkened circle on the stairs where Roxitas had been standing. "It's hard to believe that's Sora's Nobody."

"He's not Sora's Nobody anymore." Namine said, burying her hands in her face as her voice began to waver. "That's not Roxas anymore, he's his own person now."

"He always was." I said, looking at the Kairi as she tried to comfort her friend. "I don't really know what a Nobody is, but from what you and Lea have told me, Roxas wasn't just a part of Sora. He had something that someone without a Heart couldn't dream of, he had friends, he had love; joining with Vanitas couldn't change that, something else did."

"Ven, this isn't the time." Kairi snapped back at me as she helped Namine up off the ground. "I'll take care of Namine, you get everyone else in the meeting room."

I stood in Yensids room, everyone besides Roxitas and Lea gathered inside, none of us willing to talk. This ordeal had taken it's toile on all of us, but Roxitas seemed to be having the most aggressive reaction, and none of us liked it.

The door opened and Lea entered, a fully cloaked Roxitas following close behind. Lea went to his usual place next to Namine. Roxitas walked to the center of the room, the map forming around him so that he was even more obscured.

"We need to act quick if we want to find Sora, and we know where." He began, most of the worlds disappearing from the map to show only the three that he'd mentioned in our last meeting. "Kair, Mickey, and Riku will be going to Destiny Island since it's their world. Lea, Terra, and Aqua will be searching in Radiant Gaurdian. Ven, Namine, and I will be going to Twilight Town. And Yensid will be organizing us from here."

"umm, Roxitas, I'd like to add a world to your list." I said, causing Roxitas to turn towards me, only his eyes visible under the shadow of his hood. "Maybe the Olympus Coliseum."

"Why would you want to go to the Coliseum?" Roxitas asked, the glow of his eyes diming. "The natives of that world have no connection with the outside world."

"Neither does Twilight Town or Destiny Island, but we have Keyblade Wielders from those worlds." I said, trying not to give away my actual reason. "Clouds from there so maybe we'll be able to find someone else who might be able to Wield a Keyblade, or something that connects it."

"Okay, you make a good point." He said, looking around the room, as if trying to figure something out. "Mickey why don't you go with Lea, Terr and Aqua can go with Ven to the Coliseum. You guys have good relations there don't you?"

"That was years ago Roxitas." Terra said calmly, not letting anyone see the anger that was clear to me. "I'm not sure anyone would remember us."

"You're still our best hope." He said, not giving him any ground to argue on. "The last time I was there I was lying about being a hero in training, I'm not sure they'd want to talk to me again."

"No, Phil wouldn't like that at all." I said, laughing a little as I did. "I guess we really are the best team for the job, see you when we get back."

We were gliding through the Lane Between when we suddenly exited in a sandy plaza filled with people. We crashed our gliders and armor disappearing as we rolled wildly through the sand. When we stood up we were wearing our armor torso pieces, our usual pants (except for Aqua who was wearing black pants that looked like mine except were tighter around the knee, and the top parts of our helmets.

"Well at least we know the disguise spell worked, but I wish we knew why the Lane Between kept messing up." I said as I brushed the sand off of my arms. "So does anyone know where we are?"

"I may be able to help with that." I heard a strangely familiar voice say. We all turned around to see a tall man wearing black leather boots, baggy purple pants with a massive belt that had an odd symbol on the top, two brown leather straps attatched to the belt and black metal shoulder pads, dark brown leather gloves, and a purple sleeveless turtleneck sweater. He had spikey black hair a scar across his face and kind yet fierce eyes, as well as a sword with a curved golden hand guard and a blue handle. "I'm Zack Fair; and this is the Thebes Market Place."

We ran down the long white hall, slashing down the Heartless in our way before we reached the door. We through it open and saw an infinite white expanse with Oni sitting at a grand piano, Ventus now wearing a cloaked version of his old shirt standing next to her with a smile on his face, but a frown in his eyes.

Oni began to pluck at the keys of the piano and then she started singing. "I'll hold your hand while you sleep, so don't be afraid, I won't let the Shadows touch your dreams. Maybe in time, we'll leave this all behind. We'll look up skyward, and the stars, they will shine in your eyes."

Well I put a lot in there, including a new character description. Sorry I couldn't do a better job on Zacks belt by the way, that thing is really complicated looking. Well please review, and don't forget about that pole I've got going, you're almost out of time to vote.
