*A/N - Greetings, hope all is well. Been looking forward to updating this story. Thanks to the feedback I got for the last chapter, I will go back to my regular writing. With the Heartless showing up out of nowhere, Sora is sure to have a rough time. But even with all the trouble he'll be dealing with, he'll find some reward worth it all. Once again, thanks for checking the story out, and stay tuned for more.

The sight of people running away, and screaming was all that anyone could see. Cars were still running but with no driver as they had left in a hurry. Bags of various sizes and shapes were sprawled all over the ground with their contents spilled. Screams could be heard as well from all over the place.

A businessman was running for his life and had managed to step wrong causing him to come crashing down and roll his body ending up with his back on the ground. Feeling light-headed, the man grasped his head and tried to regain his vision. That was when he felt his stomach drop and the color of his face go pale white. His hands and legs began to shake at an incredible speed.

There in front of him was a dark creature that had long claw-like hands with a humanoid figure and large yellow eyes. The creature tilted its head in a nonhuman way and looked down at the man. Fear began to overtake him, and his breathing was becoming rigid. The man could do nothing but yell and raise his hands to defend himself as the creature leaped right at him with its claws ready to slash at him.

However, nothing ever happened. The man didn't feel the creature at all and was worried about what was happening. Slowly lowering his hands down so he could see in front of him, the man did not see the creature anymore and saw something else.

Standing in front of him was a boy with brown spiky hair in dark red and black clothes while holding a large key. The key looked to be a blunt weapon with no real sharp part appearing on the blade. Moreover, next to the boy was what appeared to be a floating pink crystallized heart. The heart just stayed there floating without doing anything. Suddenly, the crystalized heart began to float up higher and higher before disappearing from his sight, leaving him to look back at the boy who was now staring right back at him with a concerned look on his face.

"Are you ok?"

Left stunned and paralyzed at what just happened, the man struggled to stand back up and stuttered with his response.

"Y-Yes. I'm ok"

"That's good to hear '' Moving his head to scan the area, the boy grimaced before speaking up again. "Listen, it's not safe here. Keep following this road and you'll see other people and Anti-Skill. They're helping everyone get to safety"

Nodding at the boy's words, the man began to walk away briskly but before he got too far, he turned to look at the boy one more time and thanked him for saving his life.

"Young man, thank you…"

Hearing the businessman's gratitude, the boy replied with a nod and a small smile that appeared on the corner of his lips before sprinting away in the direction that the creature appeared from. Doing the same, the businessman began to run to where the boy said Anti-Skill was located and hoped that they would lead him somewhere safe. But along the way, the man realized something. He never found out who the boy was.

Reaching another part of the street, Sora was able to spot Yomikawa holding her own against a group of Heartless all while protecting several schoolgirls who were huddled behind a car that was parked in the middle of the sidewalk.

With her riot shield, Yomikawa slammed the Heartless to the ground before slamming her baton toward its head with a direct hit. This managed to kill the Heartless causing it to puff in a cloud of smoke. Turning around rather quickly even with her Anti-Skill clothing, she targeted another Heartless that was beginning to make its way toward the girls. But due to her combat training and experience, she was able to strike the back of the Heartless with her baton which forced it to lash in pain before setting its sights on her.

Leaving her no time to spare, the Heartless raised its hand and slashed right at her, forcing her to raise the riot shield in front of her for protection. However, the Heartless still managed to hit her leaving a thin slash across her cheek letting a drop of blood spill. Angered by this, Yomikawa dashed toward the Heartless but not before lowering her body in an athletic stance and swinging her foot and side sweeping the Heartless leaving it startled and in the air for a split second.

Seeing this as her chance, she charged right at the Heartless while it was falling to the ground and thrust her riot shield right into the monster's body, managing to kill it and leaving behind a puff of dark smoke.

Quickly catching her breath, Yomikawa looked down at her riot shield and noticed that there was no blood stained on the shield. This confused her and left her with many thoughts to consider. Suddenly, those thoughts would have to wait as she heard one of the schoolgirls scream out loud, which alerted her.

Swerving her head instantly at the girls, Yomikawa let out a curse as she realized that she let one of the monsters get too close to the girls and was about to attack them. Feeling a lump in her throat and her stomach hit the floor, she knew that she wouldn't make it to the girls in time and that one of the monsters would get to them. Not taking her eyes off the girls, Yomikawa prepared for the worst and continued to sprint toward the monster ready to finish it.

However, she would be left stunned as she saw the monster only inches away from one of the girls be struck with something that went through its head and ended up killing it instantly. The strange thing was that while the puff of dark smoke appeared, there also appeared to be a pink crystalized heart that was floating right near where the monster was killed. The heart then began to float up higher and higher into the sky.

Yomikawa figured that it would keep on floating higher but didn't have time to continue watching the heart and turned her attention back to the schoolgirls who appeared to be quite shaken up. She then turned her attention to the side where she saw a familiar figure standing there with his arm outstretched holding a giant key weapon.

"Sora! Thank God, you made it. I wasn't sure I'd make it in time" Yomikawa replied, feeling a heavy weight leave her.

"Yeah! I managed to see you dealing with the Heartless. Nice job handling them by yourself! Most people have a tough time dealing with them in their first encounter" Sora said, holding his keyblade over his right shoulder.

"These Heartless… I still have a bunch of questions for you but that can wait" Noticing that the schoolgirls were frightened by everything, Yomikawa knew what she needed to do but let out a sigh. "Sora. I'm going to escort these girls to safety and rendezvous with the rest of Anti-Skill. The more people that know just what we are dealing with, the faster we can save everyone"

"Got it. I'll keep moving forward and direct everyone I can to meet up with Anti-Skill" Reaching into his pocket, Sora pulled out his Gummiphone and waved it at Yomikawa. "If anything comes up, I'll call you and let you know where I am"

Agreeing with Sora's plan even though she didn't want to leave the boy by himself to deal with the Heartless, Yomikawa nodded her head and called out to the scared schoolgirls.

"Hey, I know so much is happening right now. But everything is going to be alright. Follow me and I'll get you all to safety" Yomikawa said.

Each of the girls looked at each other until one girl stood up and rallied her friends.

"H-hey, c'mon guys. We have to get out of here. We're probably not the only ones out here in trouble"

Realizing that, the group of girls shakily stood up and looked at Yomikawa giving her the confirmation she needed to get the girls out of there. Readying herself and her gear, she shot Sora a look which got him to send a nod back at her. It was as if the two communicated without saying anything. And with that being said, Yomikawa began directing the girls to follow her.

Not wanting to get left behind, the group of schoolgirls began to make their way to safety with Yomikawa leading them. Sora figured that he should continue to search for anyone and help them get to safety, so he readied himself and began to run in the direction everyone was running away from.

However, one of the girls stopped in her tracks and looked behind her at the form of Sora getting further away. The girl continued to stare at the boy until she was grabbed by her shoulder by one of the schoolgirls who called her by her name.

"Saten! We have to go!"

Snapping out of her daze, Saten half-heartedly replied to her friend, "Y-yeah. Let's catch up with the others" But not before she cast one last look in the direction that Sora was heading. Saten even muttered out the name she overheard. "Sora…"

Continuing to make his way down the long street, Sora noticed that there didn't appear to be any Heartless in sight. This was unusual. But with as much experience as he had, Sora figured that the Heartless were up to something. And it surely wasn't something good.

All of the sudden, Sora was thrown back several feet onto the road and had to roll several times until he was able to land his feet on the ground and come to a crouched stance. The sounds of cars being pushed back into buildings and even thrown across the ground were heard. Feeling dazed because of the sudden pushback, Sora shook his head to clear his vision. He also felt his battle instincts kick in. Immediately after he regained his focus, he had to dodge roll on the ground to avoid being hit by a car that was sent flying his way.

Now on his side, Sora was able to see what was happening and it was not good at all.

There in front of him was a good-sized tornado with Heartless making up most of the body of the twister. Sora had encountered a number of these creations before and had a good idea of what damage they could do. A Demon Tide.

Seeing that he needed to finish it off quickly before it could cause any more damage to the city or even grow bigger, Sora jumped to his feet and twirled his Keyblade in his hand, getting into his signature battle stance. Once he showed the Demon Tide his Keyblade, that would get its attention and cause it to stop traveling around the area.

Raising his Keyblade high in the air, Sora was met with solid confirmation. The Demon Tide seemed to stop moving from one spot to the other but kept spinning around with Shadows flying at an incredible speed. Suddenly, the tornado then began to glow a menacing red outline and began to make its way toward Sora picking up everything on the street and sending it either flying into buildings or leaving it in the body of the tornado.

Sora knew he wouldn't have a lot of time to act before the Demon Tide became an even bigger problem. So, swung his Keyblade forward and cast a Blizzard spell right at the tornado which ended up being ripped apart before it could even get close to the body of the twister. He then looked closely at the large Heartless structure and tried to find an opening anywhere that would allow him to get in close and destroy the core. Upon further inspection, Sora spotted what appeared to be an opening that didn't seem to close and gave him a glimpse of the core inside the Demon Tide.

"My magic isn't as strong as it used to be. Looks like I'll have to go with physical attacks this time!" Sora exclaimed while scanning the area hoping to find something he could throw at the tornado to damage it.

However, before Sora could charge at the Demon Tide, several cars were thrown his way by the wind that the tornado was creating. With no time to spare, Sora reacted quickly and slid right under one of the cars coming his way, managing to have only a part of his hair touch the rear bumper of the car before it went crashing behind him. He then had to use his Flowmotion to push himself to the side before another car came crashing down right where he just was.

Swinging his head to look at the Demon Tide, Sora noticed that it had grown bigger compared to before and was picking up even more cars than before. This gave him an idea as he spotted several cars being lifted in the air that served almost like platforms. Locking his sight onto each of the cars, Sora felt his Flowmotion begin to activate and used his Airstep, and launched himself right at the first car.

Slamming right into the suspended vehicle, Sora's body completely glowed in a blue light which also had blue particles coming off his body. He then narrowed his eyes toward the next car that he locked onto and shot straight at it. This time he was quick on the takeoff and bounced off the second vehicle and headed right to the third car.

However, a large dump truck was now suddenly thrown right at him and blocked him from reaching the third vehicle. Taking a gamble, Sora twisted his body while still in mid-air so that he could dodge the incoming truck. To his relief, the way he twisted his body while using Flowmotion left him without even touching the truck though his legs were only inches away from being clipped by the truck. Nevertheless, Sora managed to come to a stable position and locked onto the third vehicle slamming right onto the hood.

Now in the position he wanted to be, Sora noticed several other vehicles being tossed around by the growing Demon Tide and wondered which vehicle would be best useful. His question would be answered by the sight of a school bus that had just been picked up by the Demon Tide and appeared to have no one inside.

"That's the one!"

Gripping his Keyblade tightly in his hand, Sora only had one shot to get this right otherwise he would have to come up with another plan on the fly. Hence, he readied himself and waited for the school bus to be lifted and near the area where he spotted an opening from earlier. Everything felt like it was moving in slow motion. The tornado, vehicles lifted, wind, and even Sora.

Suddenly, Sora leaped right off the third vehicle's hood and forced his body with his Flowmotion to slam right into the school bus. He even managed to swing his Keyblade right in the middle of the school bus leaving a heavy impact and shooting the large bus right at the Demon Tide with so much force that it was impossible to stop the incoming vehicle.

Due to the bus slamming into the Demon Tide, there was a large explosion that rocked the Heartless tower and even pushed other vehicles back that was being lifted by the wind. This left Sora the opening that he wanted. Still, in the air, he managed to lock his gaze onto the core of the Demon Tide and with all of his might shot himself right at the core.

Now in the middle of the Heartless twister, Sora got right to work on destroying the core. Bringing his Keyblade across the core, a barrage of horizontal and vertical slashes began to impact the Demon Tide's core. Dashing to the side, Sora kept an eye on the core as it was beginning to spew out Shadows to defend itself which was annoying but nothing too difficult to deal with. Once he slashed a couple of Shadows out of his way, Sora raised his Keyblade and struck with several Speed Slashes across the core.

Landing a significant amount of damage on the core, Sora groaned at the sight of a smaller cyclone of Shadows appearing to lash out at him which caused him to raise his Keyblade and block the incoming attack. Using both his hands to hold up his Keyblade, Sora continued to block the relentless attack from the Heartless until he figured now would be a good time to strike back. Shifting his right leg forward a step, Sora forced his Keyblade up in a vertical manner and counter-slashed the cyclone, breaking it in half and spilling all the Shadows onto the ground.

Sora then twirled his Keyblade in his hand and began to feel an energy course through him. An energy that he had grown quite familiar with thanks to his last adventure letting him experience many different methods of fighting. His Formchanges. Second Form to be exact. Ready to end this charade, Sora grasped his left hand and brought it close to his heart before yelling out.

"Give me Strength!"

In a flash of light, Sora spun the Keyblade in his hand before throwing his arms out and letting a blast of energy surround him which let his body glow in a blinding light until the light dimmed down and his attire was that of his Second Form. It was heavily inspired by his second adventure attire which he loved very dearly. Now, however, he was ready to finish the fight.

Sprinting right at the Demon Tide core, Sora spotted several Shadows trying to pile onto each other and create another cyclone. However, bringing his Keyblade down in a stabbing maneuver, he was able to finish them all at once. Seeing that time was of the essence, Sora twisted his body around to commence a Flash Step and severed a Shadow's head while also kicking another in the face. He then dragged his Keyblade across his body and stabbed a Heartless right in the chest and cast a Thunder spell which managed to clear a path to the core.

Seeing this as his chance, Sora sprinted right at the core until he was under it and began to slash at the core putting some weight into his attacks. Forcing his Keyblade onto the core, he was able to get in back-to-back slashes with his weapon before raising it and letting an explosion of light hit the core which made it grow a darker red and start thrashing around. Sora swung his Keyblade once more but was slightly stunned when the core lashed out right at him coming right into contact with the blade.

Jumping back a few inches, he saw that the core was beginning to swell up and thrash around angrily. This was all new to Sora and he didn't know what this meant but it was probably nothing good. Gripping his Keyblade, he felt that he had stored enough energy and was ready to perform an Ars Arcanum on the core to finish it off once and for all. However, before he could do so, many Shadows began to appear around him in pools of darkness, and they were climbing out of the ground.

The many Shadows then began to leap at Sora which caused him to block and slash as many Shadows as he could even having to Counter Impact the Heartless and send dozens of them flying back with his power and area of effect slash. Several Shadows managed to leap right above him which then forced him to raise the Keyblade above his head to block the incoming attack. But he was met with a yelp as the Shadows managed to strike him from the back with slashes of their own. This resulted in Sora meeting the Heartless that he blocked with his Keyblade and dragging them with the teeth of his blade toward the Shadows that just attacked his back killing them all.

Having taken a bit of damage and beginning to grow tired, Sora was growing anxious. This was starting to become worrisome as everywhere he looked, he saw Shadows crawling out of pools of darkness on the ground. It was getting hard to keep count of how many Shadows were appearing. Plus, he was still inside the ever-growing Demon Tide which was still spinning and did not look to be slowing down.

This left him in a daring situation. Rather than fight them all, Sora knew he needed to destroy the core before even more Heartless could overwhelm him. It was a do-or-die moment. And he was not about to die after just arriving in this new world.

With his newfound determination, Sora yelled out and charged right at the Demon Tide's core while slashing with vigorous speed and accuracy at every Heartless that got in his way. He may have lost a deal of his power, but he did not lose his battle training and experience.

Only just inches away from the core, Sora was ready to give it his all and use his Ars Arcanum to finish the Heartless.

"You're through!"

Raising his Keyblade just above his head, Sora let his first strike against the core be a clean slanted slash across the core and then he let it have it. Leaving no time in between his attacks, Sora slashed the core horizontal then vertical then slanted, and repeated the technique several times before using his full strength to kick off his back foot and leap into the air and managing to spin his body twice and gain momentum before slamming the Keyblade right down the middle of the core with a clean vertical slash.

The clean cut managed to slice the core into two which caused the Demon Tide to start shaking but surely slowing down. Until the twister stopped and all the Shadows making up the tornado started to collapse to the ground and sprawled out all over. Now able to see the buildings around him, he took notice of how damaged everything looked. But that would have to be a concern for later as he was seeing another problem. A sea of darkness with large yellow eyes was staring back at Sora.

He was now out of the frying pan and into the fire as he saw hundreds of Shadows staring right at him ready to all leap at once. With his breathing becoming raspy and needing a moment to regain his energy, Sora was not liking his chances. Not to mention, it didn't help that while he still felt a majority of his physical powers, his abilities were tampered with and not as strong as they used to be.

However, he doubted that he would get a second to relax and knew he needed to be quick otherwise he would be overwhelmed. With all his might, Sora winded his Keyblade back and got into his signature pose ready to fight his way out. No matter what happened, he would not fall here.

Suddenly, all the Heartless around him began to shake violently and their eyes seemed to glow even brighter, which was something completely new to Sora. This worried him. But before he could act, all the Shadows began to sink into the ground and back into the pools of darkness that spawned them. One by one the once Heartless filled area was clearing up letting Sora finally see the street again.

Looking at one of the Shadows in front of him, Sora had so many questions flooding his head. Just what were these Heartless doing?

That question would have to be put on hold because as soon as Sora looked at another Heartless, the sound of a woman calling out to him could be heard along with many footsteps.

Turning to look at the source, Sora was met with a joyful sight.

"Yomikawa!"

There stood the mature woman with a pistol in her hand and other Anti-Skill members with her all holding guns and aiming them at the surrounding Heartless. In turn, the many Shadows all stared back at the Anti-Skill members getting ready to attack them.

"Sora! I thought I told you to call me if something was going on!" Yomikawa shouted, aiming her pistol at one of the Heartless.

"Sorry! Things happened so quickly. I wasn't able to stop and call you" Sora replied, feeling a bit sheepish while holding his Keyblade in a defensive stance.

"Nevermind that. I see you managed to take down that dark tornado. I take it, these Heartless are what's left over?"

"Yeah! But watch out. These Shadows are acting differently"

With that said, all of the Shadows began to shake once more and looked right at Sora throwing him off. This was downright strange. However, before anything else could happen, all the Heartless began to sink into the ground and disappear before everyone's eyes. All the Anti-Skill members were at a loss for what just happened. Yomikawa definitely had to add this to her list of questions that she was going to ask Sora once things calmed down.

Speaking of Sora, he was confused about everything that just happened. The Heartless were not acting like they usually did. At least at the end where they started shaking, that was completely new. But it was something he would have to consider later. Now his main concern was making sure there were no Heartless wandering around attacking any more civilians.

That being said, the area around him was now completely clear of any Heartless which let Yomikawa and the other Anti-Skill members make their way to him.

"Are you alright, Sora?"

"Yeah. I'm good. Got a few scratches and bruises but other than that I'm doing alright"

"That's a relief. After I got those girls to safety, I managed to meet up with my squad and high-tailed it back here to help you. But once we got close, that's when I spotted the dark tornado throwing cars and debris all over the place"

"Mm. Things got a bit… hectic to say the least. But while I gave the place a good scan for people, I hope no one was caught in that storm" Sora replied, clasping his left hand closed.

"Let's hope for the best. I'll make sure Anti-Skill scans this area thoroughly for any civilians. But for now…" Looking Sora up and down and noticing that the boy looked like he needed a break, Yomikawa decided to give him one. Or at the very least make him take a rest. "I think you need to sit down and catch your breath"

"I…" Sora started but didn't finish as he realized that he really did need to rest and get his energy back.

Due to his power being lost thanks to abusing the Power of Waking to save his friends, Sora figured that was why he was feeling really tired. He had done so much during the Keyblade War and didn't even end up feeling this tired. Maybe he should at least sit down and catch his breath for a minute.

Taking that suggestion to heart, Sora decided to go through with Yomikawa's idea and gave her a tired nod which was all she needed to understand the young man.

"Alright. Let's get you that well-deserved rest along with getting checked up by a doctor" Yomikawa said which earned a wide-eyed Sora.

"Uh… don't you think you're going a bit extreme, Yomikawa?" Sora asked.

"Nonsense. You said that you suffered some cuts and bruises but that might not be all"

Sora wanted to argue with her about that but he realized that she was just looking out for him which made him feel happy. Even having only met her just today, Yomikawa was proving to be a great friend already.

"*Sigh* Ok. You win"

Humming to herself, Yomikawa looked over to her squadmates and began to discuss with them what procedures they needed to accomplish while searching the area for any civilians. While she was doing that, Sora looked up at the buildings that were damaged by the Demon Tide and winced at how much damage occurred.

Maybe he went a bit too far by slamming a school bus at the Demon Tide and causing it to explode and hit other vehicles?

The area around him was littered with debris from cars, buildings, and random objects scattered on the ground. The surrounding buildings had parts of them heavily damaged and even cars thrown through the glass windows leaving an odd sight. A car that was supposed to be parked on the street was now sitting inside a large building on the fifth floor. It made Sora chuckle a little.

Taking another look at the area, Sora saw Yomikawa pointing her finger at one of the areas that would probably be checked by Anti-Skill, and it made him reminisce about the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee which he was a part of thanks to the card Leon and the gang gave him. Having said that, he reached into one of his side pockets that he hadn't checked earlier and began rummaging around to see if he still had that card with him, but to no avail, he did not. Though, while he did not have that card with him, he did feel another card which puzzled him.

Pulling out the card he was met with a strange sight that immediately made him remember his fight with Luxord. In his hands was a playing card but it was one that he had never seen before. No numbers or symbols were indicating the card's value which left him stumped. In the middle of the card was a large white skull with what appeared to be a pointy cross that was part of the skull. It was truly a weird-looking card.

But Luxord did give it to him and tell him it was a wildcard. Along with Luxord straight up saying that the card, "Could turn the tables" Maybe there was really more to this strange card?

Either way, Sora made sure to safely put it back in his pocket for later. At the same time, Yomikawa was now making her way over to the boy and had a smile on her face.

"All right, the situation's all good here. Let's get you checked up"

Nodding at her suggestion, the two began to make their way to wherever it was that she wanted to take him. Maybe a little rest wouldn't be all that bad…

Meanwhile, at one of the Anti-Skill safety zones

A girl with dark black hair and wearing a sailor uniform was chatting with one of her friends asking her if she was ok now that she had a bandage wrapped around her forearm.

"I'm good, Saten. It's just a scratch that I got when I fell to the ground" the girl said to her worried friend.

"But still!"

"If it wasn't for you, we would still be stuck being chased by those monsters," another girl said.

"Yeah! Saten, you were really cool swinging around that metal pipe smacking the monsters back"

"Where did you learn to fight like that?" another schoolgirl asked.

"W-well, I sometimes go to the batting cages and take out my frustrations there" Saten explained, sweat dropping at all the attention she was receiving.

"That's so cool!"

Before anyone else could say anything else, the sound of footsteps appeared out of nowhere followed by three girls appearing and staring right at Saten.

"Saten!"

"Saten! Are you ok?!"

"Saten!"

The three that said that were Saten's close friends, Kuroko Shirai, Kazari Uiharu, and Mikoto Misaka aka the third-ranked Level 5 or better known as the Railgun.

"Uiharu. Shirai. Misaka. What are you guys doing here?" Saten asked.

"What do you mean, what are we doing here? We came to check on you" Shirai retorted.

"But how did you know I would be here?"

"We were monitoring the calls going out about what was going on here and we had Uiharu get into one of the building's security feeds and see how bad the situation was. That was when we saw you in this safety zone Anti-Skill had set up" Misaka explained.

"You're not hurt, are you, Saten?" Uiharu asked, looking concerned for her friend.

"I'm good. Just a few scratches here and there but that's all" Saten replied.

"Are you guys all, ok?" Misaka asked the other girls who looked shocked at being able to talk with a Level 5.

"Y-y-yes. I'm ok"

"Mm. I'm good"

"Yeah. I'm good. Just got a scratch on my arm but nothing else"

"That's good to hear," Misaka said, feeling relieved that no one got hurt.

Saten smiled at seeing how worried her friends were for her wellbeing. Everything happened so fast. One minute she was hanging out with her school friends and the next screams were heard and cars were crashing into each other. And then people started running away from something which left her panicked. Then, she saw what it was that people were scared of. The dark creatures that were attacking people.

Soon after, she and her friends started running but didn't get that far as one of the girls ran right into some guy that was frozen in place which threw her to the ground and caused her arms to become bruised with a long scratch across her arm. This forced Saten and the other girls to stop and help their friend all while the dark creatures attacked everyone. With adrenaline rushing through her body, Saten looked around for anything she could use to defend herself while helping her friends, and that is how she found the broken metal pipe from one of the cars that crashed into one of the buildings.

Once she picked up the metal bar, one of the creatures began making its way toward her which made her shift into her batting stance and swing right at the creature sending it flying back. After that, she went to help her friends get out of there which ultimately led them to make their way down the road at a slow pace. Furthermore, she and her friends were at one point surrounded by the creatures, and she had to use the metal bar as best as she could to protect her friends. But the pipe soon broke after hitting several of those monsters leaving her defenseless. That led her to meet that Anti-Skill woman who was helping them with those monsters. And then…

"Oh! Misaka. Uiharu. Shirai. There was a boy that helped us with those dark monsters" Saten exclaimed, remembering the boy.

"A boy?" Uiharu repeated.

"Yeah. He had spiky hair and managed to help the Anti-Skill woman deal with the monsters" Saten said.

"Spiky hair? Could it have been that idiot?" Misaka muttered.

"Spiky hair? *gasp* "Was it that ape?! What was he doing out here?" Shirai asked, picturing a familiar misfortune boy.

"No, no. It wasn't whoever you're thinking. It was another boy with spiky hair. He had brown hair" Saten stated.

"Um… are you sure?" Misaka asked.

"I'm sure, Misaka. I remember him clearly. This other boy was wearing some really cool clothes and was carrying around a giant key" Saten explained.

"A giant key? Why would anyone carry something like that around?" Shirai asked, confused by what Saten just said.

"I don't know. But he was so cool! Fighting the monsters off with such ease and he looked like he knew how to deal with them"

"He sounds so cool!" Looking around Saten and her friends as well as the area, Uiharu was left wondering about something. "But uh… where is he?"

"He said that he was going to keep on looking for people and send them this way so Anti-Skill could help them," Saten said.

"Then, he must still be out there" Turning her head to look at Shirai, Misaka didn't want this boy to be left alone and deal with these strange but dangerous monsters. "Kuroko. We need to go"

"You read my mind, Oneesama," Shirai responded.

"I'll stay with Saten and see if there's anything I can do to help around here," Uiharu said which earned a nod from both Misaka and Shirai.

Before the two Tokiwadai girls could teleport, Saten quickly remembered another important detail about the boy.

"Wait! I almost forgot. The boy's name..."

"That'll be a big help to know. What is his name?"

"His name is Sora"

Back with Sora and Yomikawa

The duo had returned to where Yomikawa's vehicle was still parked and got into the car. Sora felt a wave of happiness flow through him as he got to sit down and rest. So much had happened in just one day and he wasn't even halfway done with the day.

"So, where are we heading next?" Sora asked.

"We're going to go meet up with a doctor I know. He'll be able to give you a good check" Yomikawa responded.

"Alright, sounds good. But won't you get in trouble for leaving your uh Anti-Skill duties?"

"Nah, it's all good. I spoke with my squad and reported to HQ about what had happened. They gave me the clear"

"Ah. That's good to hear" Sora said, sitting back in the passenger seat and looking out the window at the city. "Maybe I should let Touma know what's happened?"

With that being said, Yomikawa began driving and maneuvering her way out of the stopped traffic and got back onto the road and toward the hospital where a familiar frog-faced doctor was located.

Elsewhere…

"Hey! Hey! Did you see the news? Misaka Misaka asks while throwing pillows at you to get your attention" said a small girl that looked really similar to Mikoto Misaka.

"No brat. I didn't. Now leave me alone" said a white-haired boy who was trying to sleep but couldn't for the life of him with this small energetic girl bothering him.

"Ooh c'mon. It was on the TV The nice news lady said that monsters were attacking people and that some boy stepped in to save the day Misaka Misaka says while jumping up and down"

"..."

"Now you're just being rude to Misaka. You're not even a little interested? Asks Misaka Misaka trying to get you interested in the news"

Left staring at the white-haired boy, the little girl pouted until an idea struck her that she was sure to get the boy's attention.

"The nice lady giving out the news said it was a spiky-haired boy that was seen fighting off the monsters says Misaka Misaka as she role plays the hero described on the TV"

This seemed to do the trick as the white-haired boy perked his head a bit, growing the tiniest bit curious about what the girl was saying.

"Spiky hair? Did they show a picture of the bastard?"

"Nope. They only said that a spiky-haired boy was there at the scene helping Anti-Skill fight off the monsters says Misaka Misaka pretending to fight off monsters"

Scoffing at the answer he was given, the white-haired boy figured it was the damn hero that was involved in this monster situation.

"It's probably that damned hero again. Sticking his nose in other people's business"

"Oh! The savior! Why didn't I think of that, says Misaka Misaka, happy that the Savior is off fighting monsters!"

"Monsters. Huh…" the white-haired boy muttered.

In a high-end apartment located somewhere in the city

Several girls were all lounging around in a living room with the television on which coincidentally had the new playing. One girl wearing a beret was lazily sitting on a couch watching the news which was reporting on the situation with dark monsters attacking people.

"Monsters attacking the city?" the blonde-haired girl said.

"This all sounds super dumb" another girl with short brown bob-cut hair replied while playing on her phone.

"Maybe it's real" muttered another girl with shoulder-length black hair and wearing a pink tracksuit.

"Maybe it's a science experiment gone wrong? What do you think, Mugino?" the blonde-haired girl asked another girl that had tea-colored hair and was currently reading a magazine ignoring everything that was happening.

"Don't know. Don't care" the tea-colored girl nonchalantly responded.

"Oh, c'mon. You super at least have something to say about it?" the bob-cut girl said.

"It doesn't concern me, so I don't care. Now, quit asking me about it"

With that said, the tea-colored girl raised her magazine higher, so it blocked her entire face leaving the blonde-haired girl to sigh.

"Well, either way, I wonder who the boy is that was mentioned in the news regarding the monster situation?" the blonde girl asked.

At the same time, Touma started sneezing like crazy which drew the entire class's attention.

"Jeez, Kami. Got someone thinking about you?" Tsuchimikado asked, smirking at the spiky-haired boy.

"It's probably one of the girls Kami infected with his disease" Aogami stated.

"I hope nobody is thinking of me. And no. It's not a girl. This poor and helpless Kamijou is not well-liked by the female population. Plus, I don't want to deal with any more misfortune than I've already accumulated today" Touma replied, fearing that misfortune was bound to make its way toward him soon.

This got Touma to look out the window of his classroom and see that there appeared to be quite a few helicopters hanging in the sky all heading in the same direction. Maybe something happened?

Touma would later bite his tongue and facepalm at how that question would be answered. And the misfortune it brought.

*A/N - And that's a wrap. Now we get to see more of the Toaru characters show up. Can't wait for everyone to meet Sora and the craziness to follow. I'm also thinking about taking a bit of inspiration from Xenoblade Chronicles 3 with the moves that the cast is able to do. For instance, Noah's swordfighter basic special that allows him to do a few flips in the air before slashing down at the enemy. And taking a look at other games and the crazy move sets that characters are able to do is something I wanna get some ideas from. Hope that is alright. Besides, Sora fights dirty and doesn't have a clean fighting style which is why I really love Kingdom Hearts 2's reaction commands and the ridiculous stuff he's able to do. I mean, the man threw half a building at a dragon. Along with a bunch of other amazing and badass actions. Either way, hope you liked the chapter and look forward to more to come. Take care.
