Episode 178: Naminé's Keyblade
Before we get started on this chapter, I thought I would like to share that there will be some new Nobodies being added into this fic, and they would be based off of the jobs from the Final Fantasy series, just like the Nobodies from the Kingdom Hearts games. Thought the Nobodies deserved a little more love for this one.
The very next day after Sora has caught Suicune, Sora, Kairi, Ash, Leaf, Tracey, Pikachu, Angel, Togepi, and the Pichu continued on ahead.
A little while later, Kairi checks on the egg she got and she gives it a good washing.
"There you go, little egg. Do you like that?" Kairi cooed. Sora was happy that his girlfriend got herself another egg, but he felt jealous that he hasn't gotten one yet. He sighed to himself. He looked over to Togepi who is currently playing with Angel and the Pichu. Angel wags her tail, making Togepi excited and playfully chases the female Eevee.
"At least it's safe to assume that Togepi isn't going to be jealous," Sora said. He took out his three Ultra Balls and opened to let out Raikou, Entei, and Suicune. "How would you three like to have a good brush?" The legendary Pokémon just looked at him as he took out a brush. "I use this to brush Pikachu's fur as well as the other furry ones I have, so you should like it, too. Now, who wants to he first?" He begins to brush Suicune's mane, and the Aurora Pokémon found it to its liking. Sora does the same for Entei and then Raikou. All three found out why Pikachu enjoyed it so much. "You guys are so lucky Kairi taught me this. When I first tried brushing Pikachu, he ended up shocking me because I was being too rough."
"It felt like you were trying to rip out my fur off. And it hurt!" - Pikachu subtitle.
"Did he really do that?" - Shiny Pichu subtitle.
"He did. And it wasn't pretty fun for me." - Pikachu subtitle.
(Flashback)
We have a look back when it was just Sora, Kairi, Pikachu, and Angel. Kairi is brushing Angel's fur. The female Eevee was purring like a kitten when Kairi was brushing her.
"Angel seems to he enjoying the brushing you're giving her, Kairi," Sora said.
"Would you like to give it a try with Pikachu, Sora? It'll help you and Pikachu get even closer," Kairi said, offering the brush to him.
"Sure. If it'll help, then let's give it a shot," Sora said. "Come here, Pikachu?" Pikachu jumped on Sora's lap. "You ready for our first brushing session, buddy?"
"Pika," Pikachu said.
"Okay, here we go," Sora said. He starts brushing Pikachu, but it wasn't very gently. Pikachu responded by giving him a shock. "WHOA!" Sora screamed as he's being shocked. His skeleton is shown flashing from the shock. Pikachu stopped shocking Sora as his hair shot straight up like the Bride of Frankenstein. He got off her signature hiss. This made Kairi laugh.
"I don't think that's how you're supposed to do it, Sora. And nice hair though, but I like the spikes better," Kairi said. He just blushed from the compliment. After getting his hair back to normal, Kairi shows Sora how to do it properly. "You have to be gentle for the Pokémon otherwise they won't like it, and well- you saw what happened."
"Okay, second time's the charm, right?" Sora asked. Pikachu looked at him, unsure. "Come on, Pikachu, I promise that I'll be more careful." Pikachu was still unsure, so he had to trust Sora with that, but he planned to give him another shock if he doesn't keep his promise. Sora tries again, and he does it even gentler than he did the last time. The Mouse Pokémon found it to his liking.
(Flashback ends)
"Sora's been gentle as a Mareep when it came to brushing ever since." - Pikachu subtitle.
"What a story." - Spiky-eared Pichu subtitle.
"I wanna be brushed by Sora." - Shiny Pichu subtitle.
"Me too." - Spiky-eared Pichu subtitle.
"Well, you just have to ask Sora." - Pikachu subtitle. The Pichu looked at each other and right at Sora as they ran up to Sora as he was brushing Entei.
"Pichu," the Pichu both chirped. Sora looked at the two Tiny Mouse Pokémon and they gave him a pleading look in their eyes.
"Oh, you little guys wanna be brushed, too, don't you?" Sora asked. They nodded. "Okay. I'm finished with Entei anyway." Sora called the legendary beasts back inside and he holds up the brush. "Who wanna be first?"
"Pi!" Both Pichu said, raising their paws.
A little after Sora gave each of the Pichu a brushing, which both loved instantly, Sora decided to have a practice battle with Leaf. Sora has sent out Meganium as Leaf had her Venusaur out as Bayleef's opponent.
"You ready to go, Sora?" Leaf asked.
"Ready whenever you are, Leaf," Sora said.
"Okay, Venusaur! Take Down!" Leaf ordered. Venusaur charges at Bayleef with a tackle.
"Dodge and use Razor Leaf!" Sora ordered. Bayleef manages to dodge Venusaur's Take Down and fired Razor Leaf.
"Use Vine Whip!" Leaf ordered. Venusaur extends her vines and used them to block out Bayleef's Razor Leaf. The vines then grabs Bayleef and threw her. "Great job, Bayleef!"
"You okay, Bayleef?" Sora asked with concern.
"Bay!" Bayleef said, getting back up.
"Great! Use Headbutt!" Sora ordered. Bayleef charges at Venusaur and lands a Headbutt onto Venusaur. "Use Body Slam!" Bayleef stood on her hind legs and jumped. Bayleef starts to come down at Venusaur.
"Use Petal Blizzard!" Leaf ordered. Venusaur unleashed a flurry of flower petals and caught Bayleef in the mix. "Use Vine Whip!" Venusaur smacked Bayleef hard.
"Hang in there, Bayleef!" Sora called out.
"Take Down!" Leaf ordered. Venusaur charges at Bayleef and lands a hit before Sora could tell her to dodge.
"Bayleef!" Sora exclaimed.
"Pika!" Pikachu gasped. Bayleef then stood on her feet and started to evolve, much to Sora, Leaf, Pikachu, and Venusaur's surprise. Bayleef has become a Meganium, but the difference with this Meganium is that her antennae are shorter than the ones he's seen.
"Meganium. Bayleef has evolved into a Meganium now," Sora said.
"Meganium!" The newly evolved Meganium said as she turned around and tackled Sora down.
"Whoa! You're kinda big for me!" Sora wheezed. Meganium then starts to nuzzle him affectionately. He laughed. "Okay, okay, okay! You have a battle to do, okay?" Meganium nods and gets off of him. "Okay, Meganium! Use Body Sl-"
"Sora, Leaf! My egg! My egg's hatching!" Kairi called out.
"Let's call it a draw," Sora suggested.
"Yes!" Leaf agreed as they returned to camp. Meganium and Venusaur followed them both. They were surrounding the egg as it was flashing repeatedly.
"This is so exciting!" Kairi said.
"Eevee!" Angel agreed.
"Toge, Toge," Togepi chirped.
The egg kept on flashing and flashing until it gave off a bright, shining glow. Everyone kept on watching as the egg has hatched into a newborn Chikorita.
"Oh, it's a Chikorita. He's so cute!" Kairi cooed.
"So, it's a boy," Sora said. The newborn Chikorita opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was the Herb Pokémon looking back at him with a smile.
"Meganium," Meganium greeted.
"Chiko!" The little Chikorita said, getting up and nuzzled her leg affectionately.
"This little Chikorita seems to think Meganium is his mom," Ash said.
"Makes sense because Meganium is the fully evolved form of Chikorita," Tracey said.
Meganium smiled and she started to nuzzle the little Chikorita back.
"Welcome to the world, little one." - Meganium subtitle. Kairi checked her Pokédex to see what moves Chikorita has.
"According to my Pokédex, Chikorita has Tackle, Growl, and Body Slam as his moves," Kairi said. She bent down to Chikorita as he looked at the girl. "Hiya, my name's Kairi. We we were all looking forward to meet you."
"Chikori?" Chikorita asked, confused.
"It's okay. Kairi's going to be your Trainer starting right now." - Meganium subtitle.
"Chiko," Chikorita said as Kairi took out a Pokéball. "Here. You go inside this." She tapped the button on the Pokéball, causing Chikorita to flow inside. Stars swirls around the Pokéball to confirm the catch. "Come out, Chikorita." Chikorita came right out of the Pokéball. "Welcome to the team."
"Eevee," Angel said.
To celebrate the birth of Chikorita, the group all had a meal in honor of the newborn Leaf Pokémon. He was a curious baby Pokémon and energetic, too. Kairi has prepared a special batch of Pokémon food for Chikorita. The Leaf Pokémon was curious about it. When he saw Meganium eating some, Chikorita followed Meganium's example and ate every bit of the food.
On the very next day, Sora, Kairi, Ash, Leaf, Tracey, and the Pokémon continued on their way for Mahogany Town. Sora exchanged Suicune, Entei, and Raikou for Ursaluna, Quagsire, and Yanmega. As they continued to go forward, they bumped into Riku, Naminé, Eevee, and Azurill right on the road.
"Riku!" Sora and Ash said.
"Naminé!" Kairi and Leaf said.
"Hey, everyone," Naminé greeted.
"Hey, guys," Riku greeted.
"Good seeing you," Leaf said. Naminé noticed Sakura wasn't with them.
"Where's Sakura?" Naminé asked.
"Naminé went on her own journey, so we wished her good luck," Sora said.
"Not that she needs any. She's gonna do just fine on her own," Riku said.
"Eevee," Eevee said.
"She sure is. I can't help but wonder what's she's up to," Sora said.
"Chu," Pikachu said.
"Vee," Eevee said.
Riku, Naminé, Eevee, and Azurill temporarily joined the group again, but Naminé looked around and she noticed she was one of those who didn't have a Keyblade or a means for defense. She knew she couldn't rely on Riku forever, especially when Riku's not around to protect her or something else happens.
"Why do I feel so useless? I just wish I could be able to do my part," Naminé said in her thoughts.
Azurill looked up to Naminé in her arms.
"Azu?" Azurill asked. Naminé looked at Azurill in her arms. "Azurill, rill?"
"I'm fine. I guess I was worrying you, weren't I? I'm sorry," Naminé said.
"Azurill," Azurill chirped.
That night, Naminé and Azurill sat by themselves as the group made a stop in a Pokémon Center in a nearby town for the night. Riku quickly noticed something troubling his girlfriend.
"Naminé?" Riku asked. She looked at her boyfriend. "Something on your mind?"
"Not really," Naminé replied. Riku wasn't buying it.
"Come on, Naminé. You can tell me. You know you can be honest with me, so tell me what's troubling you," Riku said. Naminé sighed.
"Well, the thing is, lately, I'm feeling kinda..." Naminé paused.
"Kinda what?" Riku asked.
"Useless," Naminé finished her sentence. Riku raised a brow.
"Useless? You? Naminé, you are not useless. Where would you get such an idea?" Riku asked.
"It's just watching you, Riku. Whenever we ran into the Heartless or the Nobodies, you're always doing the heavy lifting and I always watched helplessly. I kinda wish I could use a Keyblade like you, Sora, Kairi, and the others can, and I can pull my own weight in these kinds of situations," Naminé said.
"Oh," Riku said, scratching the back of his head. "How long have you been feeling that way, Naminé?"
"For a while, I just kept it to myself until now. There will come a time that you won't be able to protect me, because something bad might happen to you. You might have your heart stolen by the Heartless or something," Naminé said. He could tell there was a hint of worry in the way she spoke. But he had to say something that will assure her that nothing bad is going to happen.
"I can understand, Naminé. But I don't think you were chosen. Don't take this the wrong way, but I don't want you to be put in such dangerous situations like that. The Heartless and the Nobodies are relentless. I will say that I don't do all the fighting. I have Eevee right by my side. And that part you said about me being unable to protect you isn't going to happen. I won't let it happen. I promise," Riku said.
"Don't make promises you can't keep, Riku," Naminé said.
"I mean it. I will always protect you," Riku said, giving Naminé a light kiss on the cheek. "Always." He hugged her and she hugged him back. Ash was listening on them and he had to agree with her. There would come a day that Riku won't be able to protect her.
On the very next day, the group had stepped out and were about to take their leave as someone was screaming.
"Help!" A boy's voice yelled. They turned to see a boy running. "Help, police! Trouble!"
"What's wrong?" Tracey asked.
"White monsters were spotted in the local park! They just appeared from out of the blue and started to attack! I'm getting Officer Jenny to deal with the situation!" The boy said, running off.
"White monsters?" Leaf asked, getting worried.
"It's the Nobodies!" Riku said.
"We'll have to clear them out. The police won't be able to handle them," Sora said.
"Sora's right," Riku agreed. "I don't know what the Organization's thinking, but we can't leave them loose."
"Let's go!" Ash said.
Sora, Kairi, Riku, Naminé, Ash, Leaf, Tracey, and the Pokémon raced to deal with the Nobodies, unaware of Xaldin, Demyx, and Luxord watching them. Demyx chuckled.
"Those saps are taking the bait, just like you said they would, Xaldin," Demyx said.
"Naturally. They will never be able to resist a crisis such as this one. The Nobodies will make good on them," Xaldin said.
"This should be loads of fun. The bet is riding as they play the hero and save the civilians," Luxord said, casting his dice. Both dice reads seven as one is five and one is two. "Let the games begin."
Sora, Kairi, Riku, Naminé, Ash, Leaf, Tracey, and the Pokémon reached the park and they saw some Nobodies all around.
Some of them were Dusks Creepers, Samurais, Dancers, but there were Nobodies they haven't dealt with yet.
There's a kind of Nobody that is a thin, dragon-like creature with silver and purple skin. Its hands only have two distinct digits, while its feet have three long, purple toes each. It also has a thin, purple tail and sharp, white wings with purple tips lined by spikes resembling those on the Nobody symbol. The Nobody's real face is a small round and black head with a closed jagged mouth located within its neck, which is hollow, while its draconian "head" acts as something of a helmet. This "helmet" sports a jagged, open mouth at its end, lacks eyes, and is lined by thin spikes. The Nobody's upper body and "neck" are covered in magenta straps. There is also a white Nobody sigil on its left thigh. It wields a long lance as a weapon. This Nobody is known as a Dragoon.
Another appeared to not seem to have an actual body, and is instead an animated set of clothing. Its upper body is comprised of a pink coat with very thin, dark salmon-colored bell sleeves. Either side of its long neck sports a dark salmon colored spike like those on the Nobody logo, and the Nobody's "head" has the same shape. The Nobody's lower body is a faded pink gown that widens near the base and is decorated by several small, white Nobody logos. Its feet are long, flat, and black. The Nobody's lower and upper bodies are not directly connected in any way. Its overall body structure is meant to resemble the Nobody sigil. This Nobody is the Gambler.
Another appears like a warrior, especially that it appears to be wearing red amor. Its leg parts appears to be bright red, looking like a pair of pants. The Nobody symbol is on their chests and on the bottom of the "pant legs". It holds a broadsword in their hands which has the same Nobody symbol on the handle. This Nobody shall be known as the Fighter.
Another is another warrior-like Nobody wearing a black helmet with horns on top. It wore a chest plate and a large cape. It has a beard-like appendage hanging from its face. It's wielding looks like an axe. This Nobody shall be known as the Viking.
Another is another warrior-like Nobody wearing a gladiator-like helmet, and it wore a gladiator's armor as well. It has the Nobody symbol on the chest plates like the Fighters, and wore black sandals on its feet. We shall deem this Nobody is the Gladiator.
Another appeared like Robin Hood. It wore what looks dark green garbs, a hat with a feather, and curly shoes. It carries a quiver along its back filled with arrows and has a dark green strap that goes along its chest. It also has long fingers on both of its hands. It is carrying a longbow that has the Nobody symbol on it. The symbol of the Nobodies is located on the hat and on the chest. The arrowheads all have the symbol of the Nobodies on them. This Nobody shall be known as the Archer.
Another appeared to be wearing lightweight tunics and feathered hats. They each have grayish white bodies and appears to be carrying harps. The Nobody has boot-like feet. The symbol of the Nobodies appeared on their hats. This Nobody shall be known as the Bard.
"Nobodies! Just as we thought!" Ash exclaimed.
"Come on! We gotta get rid of them!" Riku said.
"Right!" Sora and the rest agreed as they summoned their Keyblades. Sora held the Kingdom Key and Oathkeeper tightly. Ash did the same for the Star Seeker and Fire Red Charizard.
"Riku!" Naminé said, but Tracey took her by the hand.
"Don't, Naminé! Riku's going to be just fine! We gotta make sure that the people are out of the way!" Tracey said. Naminé went with the Pokémon Watcher to assist him.
"Come and get what you deserve!" Sora said. He clashed his Keyblades against one of the Fighters. Sora grits his teeth as he pushes the Nobody back. Kairi engages the Dusks and Creepers as Leaf goes after the Gamblers.
The Gamblers juggled dice around and casts them, hitting Leaf hard. The Dragoons came at Riku, but he swung his Soul Eater at the Dragoons. The Archers fired their arrows at the Pokémon, but they managed to dodge them. Eevee attacked with a Shadow Ball and took out a couple of them. A Viking swings its axe at Sora, but he gave the Viking a slash with the Oathkeeper. Another Viking came at him, but Kairi swung her Destiny's Embrace at it. A couple of Samurais clashed blades with Leaf as she held her ground. Leaf and the Samurais did a stance, waiting for the other to move first. Leaf felt the right moment and took out both of them before they could strike.
More and more Nobodies appeared and attacked the Keyblade wielding Pokémon Trainers.
"They just keep on coming," Leaf panted.
"Can't let up. Gotta keep going!" Ash said, swinging the Star Seeker at a Dusk, and then at a Creeper, and then a Fighter. A Dancer grabbed Ash and dragged him around. It let's go of him and the Star Seeker goes flying. Just then, the hooded figures along with Espeon and Umbreon appeared and jumped off the vehicle. The hooded girl reached out her hand and the Star Seeker comes to her. She swung the Star Seeker at the Dusks and Fighters. The hooded young man summoned the Colosseum of Light and the Colosseum of Darkness. Together they engaged the Nobodies.
"Where did you come from?" Kairi asked.
"Never mind that. Right now we gotta fight these Nobodies," the hooded young man said.
"He's right. Fight now, ask questions later," Riku said.
The newcomers helped fight off the Nobodies despite being outnumbered. The fight raged on as the Nobodies were being cut down to size. Just then something started to happen.
A new Nobody appeared right before them all. This Nobody was slightly taller than the others and it appeared larger than the members of Organization XIII. This Nobody wore armor that was mostly white, but has a hint of blue. It carried a sword and a shield with the Nobody symbol on the front. The Nobody has a white cape on as well. This Nobody shall be called the Paladin. The Paladin drew its sword and prepared to engage the Keyblade wielders.
"Whoa, this thing's huge," Ash said.
"Well, as they say, the bigger they are, the harder they fall," Sora said. The Paladin swung its sword at Sora, making him block with both his Keyblades. It greatly pushed him back.
"Sora!" Kairi cried.
"I should have said, the bigger they are, the harder they hit back," Sora said.
"Take it down!" Ash exclaimed.
The Keyblade wielders and the Pokémon engaged the giant Nobody, but its strength is proving to be too overwhelming for them. The Paladin bashed Espeon and Umbreon with its shield. The hooded girl jumped to strike at it, but the Paladin swung its shield, hitting her.
"No!" The hooded young man roared as he lunged at the Paladin with a vengeance. The Paladin swung its sword at him, so he used his two Keyblades to block. It pushed him back, and he fell on his back.
Naminé, Tracey, Togepi, Azurill, and the Pichu watched on with worried expressions on their faces. No more than Naminé. They tried to strike at it, but it toys with them by using its flexible body to evade their attacks.
"This thing's much stronger than any Nobody we faced before," Riku panted.
"Doesn't this thing have some kind of weakness?" Ash asked.
"I don't think it does," Kairi said. Riku wasn't willing to call it quits. Sora wasn't either. He jumped up first, but the Paladin swung its sword at Sora. He blocked, but the Oathkeeper goes flying out of his hand and he lands on his back. "Sora!"
"Okay, you're going down!" Riku yelled as he came at the giant Nobody. It knocked him down, hard. Naminé gasped.
"Riku!" Naminé yelled.
"Stay back, Naminé. I don't want you getting hurt," Riku said. Pikachu and Eevee attacked with an Electro Ball and Shadow Ball combo, but their attacks do very little damage. "I won't let anything happen. I promised you that."
"I told you not to make promises you can't keep!" Naminé said with tears streaming from her eyes.
"Naminé, I'm sorry. I love you," Riku said as the Paladin raised its sword up, ready to strike them all down with a single blow. Officer Jenny rode in with her Growlithe on the sidecar. She gasped when she saw the giant Nobody and what it was about to do.
"Oh no!" Officer Jenny gasped.
"NO!" Naminé screamed at the top of her lungs as the Oathkeeper suddenly appeared right in her hand and she gave one mighty swing from it. The Nobody backed up. Everyone were surprised by what they all saw, especially Riku. "Don't you touch my man!"
"What did I just see?" Officer Jenny asked herself.
The Paladin forms a grayish white orb at the tip of the sword and sends it right at her, but Naminé suddenly felt her body lighter than it was before, moving faster than ever before. She casts what looks like a reflect spell and the orb bounced right off. Naminé held the Oathkeeper tightly and she used it to strike the Paladin's shield. It held its ground, but it was a bit shaken. Riku stood up and he placed his hand on his girlfriend's shoulder.
"Why don't we take this together, Namine?" Riku suggested. Naminé nodded with agreement and they started to work together. Naminé was proving be very skillful with the Keyblade as she used it to strike the Paladin. Riku swung the Soul Eater and used it to strike the Paladin again.
"Look at Naminé go," Sora said.
"She's able to keep up with Riku," Leaf said.
"She's amazing," Kairi said.
"I didn't think she could use it," Ash said.
"I didn't either," Sora said.
"Pika," Pikachu said.
"Vee," Angel said.
"Eevee," Eevee said. He rushed in to join Riku and Naminé in the fight. He fired Swift. The stars managed to dent the armor. Naminé jumped up and she gave a mighty swing at the Paladin, making it fall to the ground. It began to fade away into nothing after being defeated.
"Wow, it looks like I was wrong, Naminé. You were chosen after all. I'm sorry to doubt you, it's just I-" Riku was cut off when Naminé placed a finger on his lips.
"You don't have to say anything, Riku. I'm just happy you're safe," Naminé said. She walked up to Sora and he held the Oathkeeper, intending to give it back to him. "Here, Sora. This is yours. You can have it back."
"Thanks, but no. You can keep it, Naminé. I think you'll need it a whole lot more than me anyway," Sora said.
"Are you sure, Sora?" Naminé asked.
"Trust me. You're one of us now," Sora said.
"So, I wasn't one of you to begin with?" Naminé jokingly accused. Everyone all laughed.
"I'm glad you're all right," Tracey said, running up to them. Togepi, Azurill, and the Pichu joined them.
"Are you all okay?" Officer Jenny asked, running up behind them. They all turned to see the policewoman.
"Officer Jenny? How much did you see?" Sora asked, nervously.
"Pretty much right to the blonde her using that key. I was kinda surprised though. I was hearing rumors about monsters showing up, so I came here to look into it, and I found you kids fighting a huge monster," Officer Jenny said.
"We can explain that. But we should thank the two that helped us ou-" Sora was cut off when he saw that the hooded figures and the two Eeveelutions were gone. "Where did they go?"
Ash saw that the hooded girl left the Star Seeker behind before taking off. Everyone dismissed their Keyblades as they explained to the policewoman about the Nobodies and about Organization XIII.
"So let me see if I'm understanding this; you're telling me that those white monsters are all Nobodies, which is created when someone with a strong heart is turned into something called a Heartless, and those things you hold are called Keyblades, and you were all chosen to wield them," Officer Jenny said.
"Yes," Sora, Kairi, Riku, Naminé, Ash, and Leaf all said at once.
"If I haven't seen it with my own eyes, I would have thought you made it all up. But I'm proud to say that you were all in the right place at the right time. And that someone is doing something about all those monsters," Officer Jenny said.
"We're glad you understand, Officer Jenny," Kairi said.
"Well, you did take quite a beating, so I suggest you all have yourselves a checkup at the local hospital," Officer Jenny suggested.
"That won't be necessary," Sora said, summoning his Keyblade. "Heal!" Sora casts his cure spell and everyone were healed of their injuries. "Much better."
"Convient," Officer Jenny said.
Over to Xaldin, Demyx, and Luxord, they were watching the battle from start to finish and they weren't expecting Naminé to use the Keyblade as well.
"Okay, this isn't how I pictured the end," Demyx said.
"Nor have I. It appeared that I lost the bet. But there's always next time," Luxord said.
"But those two were wearing our garments. Lord Xemnas must know about this at once," Xaldin said.
"Yes. Let's us be on our way," Luxord said as he, Xaldin, and Demyx left through the corridor of darkness.
After taking their leave of the town, Ash summoned the Star Seeker and he placed it, sticking in the ground. He also left a note next to the Keyblade.
"What are you doing, Ash?" Sora asked.
"Just leaving this Keyblade here for that girl that helped us," Ash said.
"Why?" Sora asked.
"Because she'll need it. Naminé's not the only one who's going to need one. Also, those two helped us out, and something tells me that they can be trusted," Ash said.
"Well, if you say so. I just hope you don't regret it later," Sora said.
"Trust me, Sora," Ash said.
The hooded girl came out of hiding and took the Star Seeker and picked up the note. She read the contents on it.
Thank you for the help.
She smiled under the hood.
Now that Naminé has her own Keyblade, it won't be long until the rest of Organization XIII to know that the number of their enemies is growing, so they will try to do something about that soon. But until the next time.
