Neko found herself in a strange place. It was a vast space of darkness with the only source of light being the stars shining all around her. There was no visible floor and yet she felt that she was standing on something.
"Where am I?" she asked herself. "Wasn't I fighting Copycat?" She panicked, "Rosey-chan! Koneko-chan! They're in danger! I need to go to them!" She began to run. Yet, the farther she ran, she felt as if she wasn't going anywhere. That wasn't going to stop her, however. She continued to run, trying to find a way out of this strange place. Hours seemed to pass and she collapsed onto her hands and knees, exhausted. "What is this place?"
She suddenly heard a disembodied voice speak to her, "Where do you want to go?"
She didn't question where it was coming from, strangely. She answered, "I want to go home."
"Is home so important?" was the reply she received.
"Yes."
"Why?"
"Because there are people I want to protect."
"Are these people that you wish to protect important to you?"
"Yes."
"Are you willing to do anything for them?"
Neko pushed herself to her feet and stood up, answering, "Yes."
"To protect them, are you willing to use my power?"
'Power? What kind of power?' If some sort of divine entity wanted to help her, she was in no position to deny it.
The voice repeated, "To protect them, are you willing to use my power?"
"YES!" Neko raised her voice. "Give me the power!"
"Call my name! Call my name and receive the power! Call my name!"
What was the voice's name? How could she know that?
Ge…
Ge…
Geki…
The name was starting to come to her.
Gekiryu…
Gekiryu…
The word was becoming clearer.
Gekiryuk…
She then shouted out its name.
"GEKIRYUKEN!!" Alt-01/Neko roared out and all of a sudden a bright light engulfed the black lance in her hand. Copycat was shocked and pushed back by the light.
"What is this!?" Copycat shouted in outrage. Rose's eyes widened as the light dimmed. Copycat's eyes narrowed before popping wide open.
"Is that…?" Rose began.
"It can't be!" Copycat finished.
Replacing the lance was a strange sword. The handle resembled the handle of a key and had small wings flanking it. Hanging from the handle was a keychain shaped like a dragon. At the base of the blade was a small dragon's head and the tip of the blade was shaped like a diamond. The sword was mainly blue with gold and white accents. This sword was not any old sword. It was a special weapon. It was Neko's key to victory…
It was the legendary Keyblade and its name was…
Alt-01/Neko called out again, "GEKIRYUKEN!"
