After witnessing Rikus fight, Ajani motioned to Riku to meet him on the rooftop. After watching Ajani leave Riku headed towards the rooftop wondering what X wanted with him. Finally at the rooftop Riku finds Ajani with his back turned standing cross-armed watching the sunset.

"What do you want X?" asked Riku as he moved closer to the silent man.

"What do you fear Riku?" asked Ajani still with his back turned. A little taken aback Riku responded

"I fear nothing, X is this all y-" but was then cut by Ajanis response

"If you fear nothing then why were you hesitating in that fight earlier?"

"Tha-that was nothing," said Riku more to himself than to Ajani as he lowered his head.

"Then what was it, the hesitation that you showed in that fight," continued Ajani after hearing Rikus answer. Then Riku heard a familiar cackle and looked up to see Ansem in the same spot as Ajani once was.

"Riku, you dont have to be so modest," said Ansem mockingly at Riku.

"Dam you Ansem!" yelled Riku as he summoned Souleater and changed into dark mode. Alerted by Rikus abrupt yell Ajani turns around just in time to block Riku’s attack with his deathjammer spear

"Riku, whats gotten into you?"asked Ajani as he tried to get through to the young man but all Riku heard was Ansem.

"what’s wrong with you Riku you used to be stronger than this in castle oblivion" mocked Ansem enraging Riku even more.

"I'll take you out this time Ansem!" retorted Riku as his turquoise eyes changed to gold. seeing this Ajani thought to himself the only way to stop Riku was to knock him out.

"Fine then, let this be a test for myself as well," said Ajani as he blocked anther one of Riku’s swift attacks. As the fight continued to escalate so did Riku’s power until all the Jedi felt this power and hurried to the rooftop.

Back on the rooftop Riku’s attacks became more fierce as he did a finisher move he cracked the roofs perimeter forcing Ajani to take out his gauntlet. Jumping far enough from Riku Ajani yelled out "Asunder Great Flames of Hades" and throws his spear as it took the form of cerberus and trampled a shocked Riku knocking him out. "Finally, its over,"Ajani thought to himself as he fetched his spear. Right when he was about to pick up Riku a knife flew forward grazing Ajanis left cheek.

"Get away from Riku!" yelled Kelsie as she came running out from the stairs with the rest of the Jedi At a great disadvantage Ajani ran leaving the unconscious Riku with the Jedi as they crowded around him.

Ziz was once again watching the sunset of one of Tatoonine's twin suns from the spot he always enjoyed, it was where he could mediate in peace. Forget all the troubles and responsibilities he had towards his employer Jabba the Hutt whom he promised to find 'rare specimens' to add to the obese alien crimelord's entourage. He let out a sigh of relief as he managed to find a rare specimen, well actually several rare specimens in the form of the spiky brown haired boy with those cobalt eyes and the tiny mouse each wielding a sword that resembled a Key known as Sora and King Mickey.

The weapons' names were revealed as the Keyblades by the two right after they exchanged introductions with each other after he suddenly swooped in on the group of Sand People that was attacking them back at the desert. Ziz would know of course, well he had a basic knowledge already of the Keyblade from his many years of his thousand year old life traveling amongst the worlds gaining knowledge of myths and legends of each world. He especially knows that those swords were the Keyblades by looking at Sora's Keyblade, the Kingdom Key....what the hell did that kid realize he was wielding? That was his Keyblade, Ziz's Kingdom Key, he was Lord of the Sky.

How could that young boy be able to wield one of the three Keyblades of the Realms? He could ask the same question about King Mickey and how he recieved the Keyblade of the Realm of Darkness. Something was wrong, he remembered he was already an adult by the time he first began training on the Kingdom Key back then. He certainly was interested in how these Keyblades got into their hands....then again why should he care?

There nothing better than prey that he captured ready to sell them off to their new slave. He wondered what would Jabba the Hutt give Ziz for a King and a boy along with a duck and dog that could talk. Not much most likely. He would probably get at most 500 Republic credits which was less than enough to get him by for not even a week. If he expected to gain a fortune out of them, he needed a little backstory to each of them, especially Sora.

Lucky for him, that special someone came to his spot. A faint smile emerged on the silver haired man's face as things couldn't get much easier than this.

"Hey Ziz....," said Sora waving his hands as a greetings and sitting down right beside him keeping the Lord of the Sky company into seeing the sight of the Tatoonine sunset.

Ziz just turned to Sora and nodded only to return back to face the sunset, "Sora.....just the person I wanted to see this moment. What brings you to my spot?"

Sora just laid his head on the ground, "I don't really know, somehow I felt like I needed to thank you for fighting off those guys in the cloaks-"

"Sand People you mean-" corrected Ziz. Now he was definitely sure that Sora wasn't native to this home world as he was unacquainted with the likes of barbaric infamous tribal people known as the Sand People of Tatoonine.

Sora continued, "Yeah, the Sand People. Ziz, we wouldn't have made if you hadn't swooped in with that whatchamacallit-" He pointed to the weapon laying right at the ground, the Keyblade right next to it.

"My polearm, I channel the power of the wind through that weapon. I easily brought down those simple minded raiders by using the power of the elements nearby me," He looked back at Sora's Keyblade, "Sora, do you mind me asking of how you obtained that sword right there. It seems unique and not likely to be from this world."

Sora looked back as well, "Oh yeah....the Keyblade? Well I guess I could but I'm might waste your time telling you about my adventures..."

"Do tell Sora....after all I have all night. Plus from what it looks like, we are not in any hurry to head to Mos Eisely any time soon..." said Ziz laying his head on the ground putting his arms right behind his head like Sora so they could enjoy the sunset together..

Sora let out a sigh, "All right.....it all started out when I was 14 back at the Destiny Islands with my best friends Riku and Kairi. We were pretty close as you can say, Riku and me were born ever since we were babies. Kairi we met when I was four while Riku was five right after a meteor shower occured. After then on when we met Kairi during a meeting of the Mayor of our village, me and Riku began to compete with one another in basically everything. I really didn't know what was the reason back but realized that both me and him were trying to get Kairi's attention and-"

He heard snoring and he turned his head to see Ziz already with his eyes closed, sleeping. Sora rolled his eyes and got up picking up the Keyblade dismissing it. He gave one last glance at Ziz and said, "Have a good night, Ziz." He soon turned to see the King, "Hey your Majesty, what's up?"

"Oh nothing, just here because Donald and Goofy back at camp were being worried that you'll be attacked by them Sand People again like last time," Mickey then peeked to see Ziz sleeping, "So did you ask him where we are going? I'm not a fan of the deserts..."

Sora said, "We're headed to Mos Eisely he said, you think it's the capital city of his world?"

"I think so....maybe Mos Eisely has its own king. Maybe we can go ask for him if he seen Riku and Kairi somewhere!" said Mickey excitedly.

Sora's eyes widened with glee, "You really think so, your Majesty? Maybe Riku and Kairi are in Mos Eisely!"

Mickey smiled, "There's a good chance, but let's go to sleep back at camp. Let's not disturb Ziz any further, he's proved he's been a good to us fighting those Sand People.." He walked back to the direction of camp.

"You're right...." He went and followed Mickey back to camp.

"Riku, Riku." Kelsie said, cradling his head in her arms. Whoever that was, he wanted to hurt Riku, or had he. When it came to Darkness, Riku had a bit of a temper. And with Ansem now taunting him... it wasn't good. What if that hooded man only wanted to stop Riku. Riku had a lot of power and could be very difficult to defeat.

"Much Anger inside him, he has." Yoda sagely remarked.

"He's gone through a lot." She sadly. "I'm sorry he destroyed your temple."

"It's a little problem, but not much Kelsie." Obi Wan said, Anakin looked astonished at Riku's swath of destruction. "Young Padawan's often break pillars."

"But they don't open their hearts to darkness." She thought. "I've never seen him this mad." She said outloud. "I know something's bothering him... but."

"Ansem." Riku muttered, finally waking up. His eyes flew open. "Ansem!! Where is he! He was here a second ago, I think he replaced that hooded guy..." Riku now realized two things. There were alot of Jedi, and he was still in his dark outfit. Kelsie noted his eyes were just now changing back to blue. Riku looked around and saw his destruction. "I'm sorry about that."

"Anger in you, unhealthy it is. It corrupts the mind and heart and sickens the body."

"You have no idea." Riku muttered.

"What exactly have you been holding back from us, Riku." Obi Wan said.

"Do I have to?" His voice was an uncharacteristic whine.

"Yes." Obi Wan and Yoda said. He sighed, and began his tale. Up above, out of eyesight, Ajani listened. He needed to know more about this man, Ansem, who could corrupt Riku's mind. Palpatine would be very interested in this.

Back on radient garden Cid is still working on the new gummi ship when a stranger pops into town entrance with sleek red hair falling down to his shouldes and wearing a black trench coat. the moment the stranger stepped through the gate the security system alerts everyone to the strangers presense.

"Come on Yuffie" said Leon to the female ninja.

"Yeah yeah I know what the alarms for," said Yuffie as she disappeared in a puff of smoke.
meanwhile back at the towns entrance the security measures that were placed to exterminate Heartless proves no match to the strangers acrobatic skills when out of nowhere a giant shuriken flies at the stranger nearly missing him by an inch.

"Who are you?" yelled Yuffie as she grabbed the shiriken on its return path.
just as Leon made it to the towns gate with his gunblade in hand he is shocked to see the man.

"Why are you here, I thought that organization 13 was desroyed by Sora’s efforts," said Leon as the stranger continued to stand there.
"So are ya gonna answer or are we gon-,"started Yuffie when the stranger cut her off.

"The names Ale, got it memorized,"said Ale still standing there as Yuffie and Leon are dum-founded.

It was out of nowhere that a group of several dozen humanoid creatures suddenly appeared out of the street in a swirl of darkness. They had long bug-like antennas and their skin was as black as coal making them along with their yellow eyes an abomination. The guard of Chancellor Palpatine raised their rifles at the creatures. The head officer of the group of five guards went ahead and pulled out a staff with electricity being charged on both sides of the staff.

"Halt! Don't dare come any closer!" He saw that the creatures failed to heed his word and continued to advance towards him and his guards along with the Chancellor, "I warn you!" shouted the officer as he gave a second warning. Why wouldn't they stop? These creatures fail to understand Galactic Basic? What kind of abomination were they?


"You die now!" The officer pulled out a pistol and shot at all of them in a matter of seconds, "Take that, you abominations of darkness!" The creatures flew into the walls and retreated a bit from the guard head officer.

The officer smirked, "Easy." He turned towards his fellow guardtroopers and shouted orders, "Fire on the creatures no-AHHHH!!!!" The officer shouted as he was suddenly jumped by several of the creatures who began to nibble away on his flesh causing blood to splatter out. He screamed in pain, "Help me!"

"Kill those things!" shouted one of the guardtroopers as they all rushed in to save their commanding officers from those creatures. They tried to shoot at the creatures but to no avail, the creatures easily dodged the bullets causing the officer to collaspe onto the ground.

"What the hell is that thing?" shouted one of the guards.

Another voice shouted, coming from another one of the guards, "Who cares? We have to kill it before it poses a threat to our Chancellor! FIRE!!!" The guards went into position and shot multiple rounds at the creatures who then disappeared into the walls before the bullets could hurt them.

Several guards rushed in to their commanding officer lying on the ground. There were shouts of "We have to save him!!" or "Is he alive?" One of the guards who was inspecting him checked his heartbeat and then stood up removing his hat, "He's dead....they got him....the bastards," The guards circled the lifeless body of their captain and began to mourn for him.

Palpatine looked unmoved by the events judging from his face. But he was quite interested at what these creatures were, he wanted to control them

(madammina)
Roxas and Naminé waited on the ship, excited. They had never flown on this big of a ship before. Roxas gazed across the room looking at nothing but day dreaming of Padme. Naminé was drawing the surroundings. She resisted the urge to draw Roxas on fire, but instead draw what she knew. She drew Castle Oblivion, and Twilight Town. She drew Axel, taking charge of her after Riku transferred control. She drew Destiny Islands. Then, curious, she started to draw her somebody, Kairi. To her astonishment what she drew continued to stuff she HADN'T seen. Kairi had a wound on her left arm, that a teddy bear was bandaging.

"What are you drawing?" Roxas said, finally stopping daydreaming.

"Kairi, but I've never seen that thing before."

"It's an Ewok." A guard said. "Have you ever thought of drawing professionally? Your stuff is beautiful."

"Commander Mowanza, why don't you show these two around the ship." Padme said. Roxas looked at her.

"You're not..." Kairi stepped on his foot again.

"Decoy, they have to keep her safe." she muttered.

"I will as soon as we make the jump to hyperspace." Mowanza said.

"Hyperspace?" The two said, both curious and worried.

"Hyperspace in 2 minutes, all passengers should strap themselves in." A voice said over the loudspeaker.

"Buckle up." Mowaza said. He started to do Naminé's buckle, but backed off at her look. She proceeded to do it herself. Roxas did his own, and presumably the Padme look alike did, but in a different place. After the jump, which was an extremely odd feeling, Mowaza showed them around the ship. Roxas noted an odd box.

"What's that?" He said. He couldn't understand the language on the sides, but it looked dangerous. "Is that supposed, unh." Roxas was shot with a stun gun from the side. Another shot hit Naminé, then Mowaza backed up and ran. A shot hit him too. The three lay near the unstable container for the rest of the flight. Fortunately the shooter picked up the box and moved it out of the cargo hold. Unfortunately, the new space had a better blast radius the assassin thought as he set the timer.

(Xziled)
Back on Endor Kairi's wound is being nursed and bandaged by the teddy bear-like creature. she thought to herself "I wonder what that weird machine was and where did Sora, Riku, and everybody else go?" the more she thought about the black hole that engulfed their ship she came to remember that Naminé and Roxas had split apart from her and Sora. "I hope Naminé and Roxas are doing alright," said Kairi out loud which shocked the little teddy bear. "Oh I almost forgot about you," said Kairi to the bear and then she noticed that she was fully wrapped and bandaged. "Thank you, so where are we going now?" asked Kairi as the bear started pointing higher.

Ziz was asleep at the cliff overlooking Tatoonine's immense desert plains a distance away from camp where Sora, Mickey, Donald and Goofy slept yet was hearing voices. Familiar voices....familiar voices from his past.....familiar voices from his past that belonged to his friends and family....Familiar voices that belonged to his loved ones and his enemies....

"Master Gaia, I seek your advice on a important matter..."

"Here is my new apprentice, Ziz, Behemoth and Leviathan, my apprentice..."

"My name is Xehanort...Prince of the Kingdom of Dissidia south of Radiant Garden.."

"I don't trust Ziz, he's too divulged in darkness to become a Keyblade Grand Master like Grand Lord Gaia...."

"Why serve the world as its guardians when we can dominate it as its rulers!"

"Xehanort, what have you been trying to seek by betraying the Order?"

"The ultimate power! The ultimate heart where all origins lie, Kingdom Hearts!!"

"Master Gaia! Wake up! Please wake up! Don't die on us, damn it!!"

"I will soon leave this Realm, please promise me that you won't hurt my son. Inside his heart, he is still the Xehanort I know and raised as a child..."

"Crush our fools! Kingdom Hearts!"

"With the power of Sky, Ocean, and Land! I summon the power of Ultimate Gaia to destroy you once and for all Xehanort!"

"I will never die! I am immortal!"

Ziz shouted and his head went up quickly. His entire body was sweating a lot. He looked at the sun rise over the plains of the Tatoonine and he placed his hand on his head.

"A dream?" questioned Ziz, "But what parts were the dream?"

(madammina)
There were 2 reasons why Kelsie hated dreaming. The first reason was that she often relived The Battle of Singapore in her dreams. Brad was right. It had been months. She sighed and sat on the chair outside the Jedi Council room. Riku was still deep in conversation with Yoda and the rest of the Jedi Council. She needed to talk to someone. She didn't want to live the rest of her life dreaming of that. She sighed, and pulled out her composition book from her leather sack. But she couldn't compose. The second part of the reason why she hated dreams was because if she didn't dream about Singapore, she dreamt about a world or person who needed her help and ever since she arrived (which was a few days before she found Riku.) she kept on dreaming of this place. And Anakin... she shivered. Not only was HE the guy who's arm was to be cut off, she sensed something was off. He looked way too engrossed in Riku's destructive display than anyone should. She got up and paced, then went to sharpen her knives. And another thing, these new knives were way to light.

"I can sense you're worried." Anakin was next to her. She jumped and turned around to punch him. He dodged.

"Sorry." She said. "I don't like people sneaking up on me."

"Really?" Anakin said calmly.

"Yeah. The first time someone snuck up on me after... something I ended up breaking his nose. Those around me thought it prudent after that to announce their presence when sneaking up behind me. Umm, why do you have that ponytail?"

"It marks me as a padawan." Anakin responded. "Why do you have that tattoo?"

"Family tradition."

"No it isn't." Anakin responded immediately.

"Anakin, Kelsie." It was Obi Wan. "Are you ready for Senator Padme? We leave soon."

"Wait." Kelsie said. "What about Riku?"

"Master Yoda wants to keep him here for a few days. Are you sure you want to date him?" Kelsie thought back to their first kiss. Troy and Gabriella had just made up, again, and everyone was outside celebrating. Riku was standing infront of her, and then put his hands on her ears. He had seen fireworks go up and wanted to keep her from freaking out. But then, he had kissed her.
"I'm Sorry" he had said.
"Do you regret it?" she responded.
"No" he said after a seconds thought.

"Yes." She said definitively. She then frowned. She had had an odd dream last night. It should have been a normal dream, but had a Tia feel to it. "Master Obi Wan." She spoke up as he went down the hall. "Do you know of someone named Gaia?"

(Xziled)
"Well now how did you get that cut on you X?" asked Palpatine the moment Ajani walked through the doors.
"I got in a fight with a cat," said Ajani indifferently at chansellorPalpatine as he chuckled.

"So how did it go?" asked Palpatine after Ajani sat down.

"The boy is powerful as you thought he has alot of darkness within him," said Ajani looking out the window at the Jedi temple."but he has much doubt in him as well."

"Good to hear that X now you may go,"said Palpatineas he started looking out the window as Ajani left.

Later that night as Ajani was dreaming, different battles came and went, and in each one Ajani lead the charge againt the enemy. the strange thing about these battles were that they happened millenias ago. the battle of Troy, the Spartan fight for Greece from the Persians, and the smaller fights for territory. All of these battles occured in Ajanis dream until the portal showed up. yes it was because of this portal that brought Ajani millions of years into the future. Then a small voice spoke out "you shall continue the fight Spartan until you die." Ajani woke up with a start thinking about the voice in his dream.

"I have a new goal now" said Ajani to himself as the sun started to rise in the distance.


Back in Radiant Garden in Merlin’s old home Ale, Leon, Yuffie, and Aeris talk about the past events of organization 13.

"So, Ale, how did you become a somebody again?" asked Aeris politely.

"Well, its kinda hard to say cuz one moment I’m fading into darkness, the next moment I’m in some freaky hut and this one woman standing in front of me,"said Ale reminiscing on the event."first thing she asks me is if I want to become whole again and I instantly said yes but the next thing she said kinda made me wish I hesitated.”
"Why’s that?" asked Yuffie curiously.

"Well she made me whole like I said earlier, and then she grabs me by the neck and says now I have to do something for her and here I am waiting for her to give me my instructions," finished Ale. He then noticed the stoney faces of everyone including Cid. He stopped typing the moment Ale finished. Perplexed, Ale asked "Okay what’s wrong with you people?"

"They are just shocked that it was me that resurrected you,"said Calypso as she walked through the door and everyone stared at her. "Now then, Cid I have found for you the pilot of the ship"
Confused, all Ale said was "What?" as everyone now turned to look at Ale.

(AntiSora92)
Ansem now had free reign and was enjoying his new won freedom from the prison that was Riku's heart that always locked his inside, preventing him from having at a independent physical entity again. He had tortured Riku long enough to bring about the darkness within him, losing his status automatically as a wielder of the Keyblade of Twilight making his heart weaker than Ansem again.

He decided before attempting to confront Riku again, lest he wished to become locked inside like he was back at the end of Castle Oblivion. He would need to regain energy, but where could he find darkness to feed in this strange city in the amount he needed. He found what appeared to be Neo-Shadows attacking a entourage of guards, along with a elderly man wearing black and white official-like robes, killing what appeared to have been the captain.

A smile emerged on Ansem's lips, "At least I may use those Heartless if I still have the strength to aid me in my conquest of Riku's body and locking away of his heart.." Ansem disappeared into a corridor of darkness.

Palpatine immediately sensed the presence of darkness as he saw his guards tend to their dying captain lying on the cold ground, "Looks like Riku isn't the one who has potential in the use of the darkness of the Force..."

(Madammina)
Naminé woke up first. She felt the ship slip into the ionosphere of the new planet, Courscant. She didn't know how she knew, but she knew the bomb would go off soon. She grabbed her art supplies and prayed to, to something, that this would work, that her powers were back. She drew a clear cage around the three of them she drew strength into its bars and resistence into the planks. She finished just before they landed. Roxas woke up next.


"Watch your head." She said. "I just drew some shelter."

"Why?" Roxas said, still blurry about details.

"That bomb will go off soon." And at that moment they touched down. The commander woke then, and then KABOOM. The box was thrown from the ship, but they landed safely. Naminé erased the box, and saw the decoy, dead. Padme leaned over the body. "no. No." She kept on repeated.

"You must leave." Another military man said. "milady."

"Milady." Roxas adopted, he tugged on her sleeve. "The assassin was on your ship, you need to move." She finally allowed herself to be drawn away.
__________________________________________________ ________________________
Riku was still under the watchful eye of the Jedi Council. Ansem had suddenly stopped troubling him, much, but now he felt as if there was hole in his heart. Palpatine was discussing matters with the Jedi council. While Riku didn't know the details, he could tell the matter boiled down to this. A man named Count Dooku was leading a separatist movement. He wanted to split the Republic. The Jedi were worried because if it came to war, the Jedi lacked the numbers to be an army. A hologram appeared in the room, Alerting them to the fact that Senator Padme had arrived. Riku finally saw her. She was pretty, but what attracted him more were the two blonds in her retinue.

"Roxas? Namine?" The two started.

"Riku!" They shouted. "What are you doing here?"

"Um, now's not the time." Riku said, fully aware of the entire room's eyes on the two of them.

[madammina]

bump due to odd posting and it won't register the new post.

Hate when it does that, good chapter!

New chapter!!!

(AntiSora92)
As Roxas and Naminé ran towards Riku, Roxas pulls out his dual keyblades, Oathkeeper and Oblivion and lunged at Riku. Seeing this, Riku summoned Souleater and parried Roxas' first strike and dodged his second.

"This is for what you did to me in The World That Never Was" yelled Roxas as he went at Riku again while everyone watched the two going at it.

"Feh, I only did it to wake Sora up," said Riku as he slashed at Roxas. After several minutes of Roxas and Riku parrying and dodging each other’s hits the two jumped apart from one another. Roxas noticed Riku using Souleater instead of Way to the Dawn, Roxas pointed Oblivion at Riku and said

"Since you're using Souleater instead of Way to the Dawn that can only mean that you've sunk back into darkness, Riku"

After hearing that remark, Riku let down his guard and said "I guess you're righ-."and is shocked that Roxas used the time he let his guard down to close in on Riku. Right when he was about to strike an invisible wall blocked Roxas’ strike. When he noticed it he turned toward Naminé.

"Now, if you two are done there’s something all of us have to do," said Namine as she walked off.
(Xziled)
Meanwhile in the shadow of the entrance Ajani watched the entire confrontation and thought to himself "All the pieces of the puzzle are coming together now" as he looked at a small screen on his gauntlet. the screen showed three dots on Coruscant, four dots on Tatooine, and one dot on Endor’s moon. "Looks like I’m heading to Endor," said Ajani to himself as he walked off.
As Riku got up he saw the mysterious man that fought him on the roof called X leave he thought to himself "There’s something not right here."
(madammina)
Naminé walked inbetween the two boys on the way back to the temple. They kept on shooting each other venomous looks, but they prudently decided to not fight each other while Naminé was there. After Mace Windu dismissed them, but told them not to destroy anything else, they went back to Riku's room where Kelsie was waiting. However only Riku knew that. And he would try to draw Namine into conversation with Kelsie so that he could fight Roxas. Then Riku mentally checked himself. He was starting to sound like a Nobody. Oh well, he didn't want to kill Roxas, therefore denying Sora wholeness, but he did want to beat the stuffing out of Roxas. Naminé stopped for a second.

"You know, Riku" She said. "I just realized you and Axel are alot alike when it comes to Sora and Roxas."

"How is that?" He said, watching Roxas out of the corner of his eye.

"You risked everything to make Sora whole, Axel risked everything to make them separate again." Riku mused over her words as he opened the door to his room.

"Finally!" Kelsie said, starting to turn around. "I was gett..." she stopped and stared at the two figures.

"Kelsie, I would like for you to meet Roxas and Naminé."

"Nice to meet you." She said. "Since when did Sora and Kairi separate again?"
(AntiSora92)
Sora, King Mickey, Donald and Goofy along with the company of the mysterious warrior Ziz Nightingale had left camp and were now within the vicinity of Mos Eisely's commercial district. For a desert planet that looked to be impossible to sustain life other than the Sand People, Mos Eisely proved King Mickey and Sora wrong as it was bustling with life as humans and weird alien species came to this metropolis in the desert oasis to conduct business. Speeders raced through the sandy streets of Mos Eisely without any restriction as women in provocative clothing tended to their clients, both human and alien. Something was telling Sora and the gang that Mos Eisely wasn't turning to be a great capital city of a greater political ruler like of the Radiant Garden which was still under re-building, it was the opposite.

"Hmmm?" Sora felt a tug at his shoulders and he looked down to see it was His Majesty, King Mickey appearing to want to have a word with him, "Your Majesty, need to speak to me?" Mickey nodded.

He whispered, "Yeah Sora, I need a word with you?"
Sora bended down so that Mickey whispered into Sora's ear, "I'm not getting the good vibes about Ziz that I had back at the desert. Something seems fishy about that guy....and I don't really like this place a lot. I can't even imagine why the King of this place would make this so filled with crime?"

Sora gave a quick glance looking at Ziz continuing to advance through the busy streets, he turned back to Mickey and said, "Come on Mickey, Ziz saved us back there. We should have his complete trust! He saved us back there!"

"I'm still not sure though Sora. What if he's working for the Heartless or Organization XIII luring us into a trap?"

Sora sighed, "I'll go ask him where are we going from here. Since we're in Mos Eisely..."

"Thanks Sora. I'll keep an eye on Donald and Goofy," Mickey smiled at the spiky haired Keyblade wielder and saw him run towards Ziz now a few dozen meters ahead of everyone else

"Hey Ziz?" Sora tugged at Ziz's arm gaining the silver haired warrior's attention, "I need to ask you a question?"

Ziz turned his head to face the Keyblade wielder and gave a small nod of recognition, "Sora...first time I hear you speak to me today," He then paused a second and then said, "What is your question?"

"Where are we headed?" asked Sora.

Ziz stuttered,"Uh......we're headed to Mos Eisely?" Damn it, why did Sora had to ask him this right when he was going to turn them in? He then responded, "We're headed towards........a place of a employer of mine....so....we can find a ship....and save your friends. Yeah that's right, get a ship and look for your friends?"

"Cool!" Sora smiled and ran towards Mickey yet gave one quick glance, "I knew Mickey was wrong, you're trustworthy.”
Now that made Ziz feel like a piece of crap, he felt trustworthy? Now he was feeling guilt deep in his heart, but that doesn't matter. He cannot get attached to his prey, especially when he is near Jabba's palace, plus that boy stole his Keyblade or so Ziz thought....he didn't pay attention to Sora's story yesterday at the cliff.

Back in radiant garden Cid had just finally finished the new gummi ship and is test running it in the simulator.

"So yeh finally finished it, eh Cid," said Calypso eyeing the computer with curiosity.

"Aye now don’t touch nothing Calypso, I’m test running the data right now and when it’s finished then we can try it out," said Cid still typing away on the computer.

Meanwhile, in the great maw, Ale, Yuffie, and Leon spar while Aeris watches.

"You're not half bad," said Ale as Yuffie dodged one of his chakrams.

"Heh you're not bad yourself," said Yuffie as she threw her shuriken at Ale which he dodged leaving him open to Leon.

"Feh, I got you now Ale," yelled Leon as he lunged at Ale only to dogde a chakram the next second.

"Not bad, Leon, not bad," said Ale tauntingly.

As all three were about to go at it again, Cid called through the loud speaker "Hey get your arses back over here the gummi ship is done." and with that everyone headed back to base.

Riku felt like a toddler. The Jedi has assigned him to take care of the security assignment under Obi Wan Kenobi's reign. He stood next to Anakin in the elevator. Anakin was talking about how eager he was to see Padme again. The door opened and a lizard/frog type of creature greeted them. He was eager, excited, and his name was JarJar. Riku followed the Jedi into the room, and saw Roxas and Naminé still tending on Padme's needs. Roxas was with Security, and Naminé was between security and ladies in waiting. Riku found out earlier that all ladies in waiting are also security and decoys. Naminé was smaller and a blonde which probably kept her out. He was distracted by Anakin's and Kenobi's argument.

"I want to find out whose behind this" Padme said.

"Madam, we're only security. Investigation is outside of our mandate."

"Of course we will find out whose plotting these attacks on your life." Anakin responded. Obi Wan then proceeded to call Anakin an impudent whelp in more words and a collected tone of voice. Padme retired after security was set. Naminé lagged behind slightly, and turned to look at the two boys.

"Don't fight eachother." She said. "There's something else out there that the three of us are intimately acquainted with that we need to stop." She was referring to the darkness that forever changed Riku's life and created theirs. Hours later, security was finally set up. Anakin complained to Obi Wan that Padme didn't recognize him, and he had been dreaming of his mother lately. It upset him. Riku couldn't help but think of Kelsie, alone in the temple now with no one to talk to.
"I trust Palpatine" Anakin said. "And he's a politician."

"All politicians are corrupt, and you must mind your thoughts, Anakin. You've made a commitement to the Jedi which is not easily broken." As the argument continued, in a tone that reminded Riku of a nobody, the three sensed something at the same time, something was in Padme's room. The three burst in. Anakin jumped on the bed and killed two cockroach type things. Padme woke up, and Obi Wan spotted a robot outside the window. He jumped out and grabbed the robot. Riku watched the robot float away and started to do his extended jumps in order to keep an eye on them. Roxas jumped out the window too, and started to glide. Before he started, however, he yelled back to Namine

"Stay here." Namine rolled her eyes.

Ziz, Sora, Donald and Goofy with the King close behind them were still traveling within the Tatoonine capital and economic center of Mos Eisely. The streets were crowded with life although now the streets as they advanced was sparsely filled with people. And the people who were here looked pretty unsavory to the likes of Sora and the gang, who were armed with their weapons just to make sure those people eyeballing them didn't get too close.

Ziz suggested to Sora a shortcut to the alleged airship terminal in which he had found employment so that they would head towards the Galactic Republic capital at the capital planet of Coruscant out in the Inner Core Region. They went through the shortcut which was a dark and narrow alley which made nearly impossible for anyone in the group including Ziz. They all were armed with their weapons ready for any situation.

Mickey looked around the alley seeing nothing but darkness up ahead where they were headed to, "I don't like the look of this. This looks too easy to cross this place," whispered Mickey to himself and glancing at Ziz, "What is he planning to do?"

"Aghhhh.....," Donald whimpered, his wings were shaking in fear as they could barely hold the magic staff from falling to the ground. Goofy walked right beside him, just as equally frightened as he was.

Goofy stuttered, his hands sweating and shaking, "I-I'm sc-scared too, Donald. This place is scary..."

Ziz snickered and turned around to face his wary and frightened travelers, "Come on you lightfoots, one of Mos Eisely's many dark alleys too scary for you?" He began to laugh at them causing Donald, Goofy and Mickey to grumble to themselves about Ziz acting like a big jerk. He rolled his eyes and turned to Sora, "Hey Mr. Keyblade Master, show those animals what true courage is!" Sora then ran after him ignoring the insult he just gave to Mickey, Donald and Goofy.

Sora asked Ziz tugging on his arm, "Hey Ziz, you sure that this is a shortcut to the terminal that could get us a airship? This place looks pretty fishy to me? Are you sure there is any other way to head there?"

Ziz rolled his eyes and said, "You got to show some backbone Sora, I thought all Keyblade Masters were tough and bra-" He managed to get his foot stuck in something, he looked down and shouted, "What the friggin' hell!" He then backed off a few steps behind Sora, his face showing that he was clearly frightened.

Goofy walked to the same spot and covered his eyes, "Oh no!!"

Donald grew angry and wagged his finger at him, "Ziz, watch your lang-" He then stepped his foot in something and then looked down, his eyes widening in fear, "AHHHHH!!!!!" It turned out to be a pool of dark red dried blood coming from several decaying human bodies ahead of them in which Ziz and Donald stepped upon.

"Oh my God!" Sora shouted as he covered his nose with his hands due to the heavy stench of the dead bodies, "How in the hell," He kneeled down to have a closer look and saw the frightened eyes in one of the lifeless bodies, "Poor soul...what happened-" He saw King Mickey jump right in front of them and inspect one of the bodies, "Your Majesty?"

King Mickey then turned around to face everyone, "Guys.....these people were killed as a result of Heartless. Looks like we've been followed here by them," Mickey took off his hood and bowed his head in respect to the bodies, "It's a shame we didn't come here in time..."

"Heartless?" questioned Ziz to himself. What the hell was going on? What were these things called Heartless? Looks like there's a lot of story between these guys and these Heartlesses...

Back on Endor Kairi and the little bear creature continued to climb higher until they reached a village full of the little creatures. "Wow," said Kairi as she continued to walk towards the village. Minutes later Kairi was amazed that there was so much food placed on the table and it was then that she realized that there was a feast going on. the little creature that escorted her to the village, brought her some fruits to eat, and after seeing her take it the creature left and joined the others.

After a long chase involving Anakin nearly crashing a flying car, twice (and it was Riku and Roxas's first time in a flying car!) Anakin did succeed in crashing a car, but it was the assassin's car. After Obi Wan parked his own, the four of them headed into a club.

"Don't lose this." Obi Wan said, handing Anakin Anakin's lightsaber.

"I won't master"

"And he went into a club. He didn't go in there to run, he went into there to hide."

"I think he is a she, master. And she's a changeling." Roxas and Riku both whispered

"Zexion" the Jedi ignored them, and the quartet headed into the club. the four spread out. Obi Wan went to the bar for a drink.

"Do you want some deathsticks." An alien said to Obi Wan's right.

"You don't want to sell me deathsticks." Obi Wan responded, waving his hand. The alien repeated what Obi Wan said, and Riku thought of the same movement Palpatine used on him. "You want to go home and rethink your life."

"I want to go home and rethink my life." Obi Wan returned to drinking his neon blue cocktail. Anakin looked through one corner of the room, while Roxas and Riku tried their hardest in another. It wasn't quite working. They didn't know what to look for. Suddenly they heard an electric buzz, and saw Obi Wan with his lightsaber out.

"Jedi business," Anakin said to the suddenly quiet crowd. "Go back to your drinks." The Jedi plus two moved the assassin outside. "Who sent you?" Anakin demanded.

"It was just a job." The bounty hunter muttered.

"Who sent you." Anakin repeated with enough emphasis to show he was not kidding around.

"A bounty hunter named..." At that point a hiss was heard, and the assassin died. The four looked worried.

"The council must hear about this." Obi Wan said.

[Xziled]

you know, reading this brings back memories...-_-

[Azrael]

It really does, makes me wonder if we can pull of a good enough sequel.

[madammina]

We'll need a good enough villian for our people.

But I know, it is so much fun to read. I still just pull it up now and then to read instead of a published book.

[Azrael]

Uh Emperor Palpatine and Anakin Skywalker of course, it is Episode 3. Ansem and Xemnas are destroyed and wait that means.....I just got the perfect ending for the sequel just now
