Chapter 12: Ephemeral Dream
The man who stalks in the shadows. His enemies see only the glint of his blade and then they fall.
Wow! A chapter update that doesn't take half a year to publish. I'm on a roll. Anyways, this chapter is about 23 pages long in Word so enjoy it. As for the chapter, Ephemeral Dream is the theme song to the new character Caserta to be properly introduced. I took it from Setsuka from Soul Caliber 3. I love that song.

Aboard the Gummiship were Sora, Riku, Kairi, Donald and Goofy. Chip and Dale were driving the vehicle while the others were discussing what to do next. Some bottled water and crackers were passed around as they spoke.
"The King asked us to go to Traverse Town." Donald told the Destiny Islands three. "We are looking for a crown or something."
Sora looked at the magician quizzically. "A crown? What's it for?"
"He didn't say. All he said about the crown is that there is power in it and that it had to be recovered." Donald told him.
"So, the King wants us to get it before Juusan Kikan." Riku mused aloud.
"I think that's why." Goofy added.
"Well, let's get the crown and worry about what it does later." Kairi told them
"That's a good idea." Donald agreed.
Everyone else nodded their heads.
Donald's eyes lit up as he just remembered something. "That's right. I just remembered something."
"About that Caserta guy, right?" Goofy nodded.
"Caserta?" Kairi asked. She didn't know any Caserta.
"Well, you might know him better as the Knight Errant." Donald told her.
There was an audible gasp from Sora, Riku and Kairi.
"How do you know his name?" Riku growled. He did not like the Knight Errant. There was something about him that didn't sit right with the silver haired warrior. He couldn't put his finger on it but he couldn't dismiss this feeling.
"He visited Leon yesterday." Donald answered the group. "Apparently, Leon and the King have known him many years ago."
Sora remembered what the Knight Errant Caserta told him the last time he saw him. The next time we meet, it will be face to face. Those words were etched into his mind. "So we are going finally meet him without the black coat."
"I think so." Goofy shrugged his shoulders. "The King didn't say anything about that."
"Well, let's just worry about it when it happens." Kairi finished.
"Well, it's gonna take some time to get to Traverse Town." Goofy told the threesome. "If you three want to take a nap or something, there are quarters in the back." He pointed in the direction of the quarters.
Sora took it upon himself to show Riku and Kairi around the Gummiship. "I want to show you how this baby works." He smiled, putting his hands behind his head as he is used to doing.
Kairi gladly followed with Riku close behind her, putting the bottled water in one of his pockets. The silver haired teen had other things on his mind.
"Why would Juusan Kikan want this crown? What kind of power could it possess that would grab their attention? And what about the Knight Errant? What are his goals?"
"RIKU." A sharp sound pierced his ear.
Riku's attention was reverted from his inner thoughts to see a miffed Sora looking at him. "I'm giving the grand tour and you are off in your head." Sora huffed. "Not cool."
Riku's lips made a small smile. Sora looking indignant was actually kind of cute. "Alright, alright. I'll pay attention."
Sora led Kairi and Riku to the ship's quarters. Inside were six beds, unadorned with even the slightest bit of frill.
"And this is where we sleep while we are on the ship." Sora announced as if he was the grand tour guide.
Riku smirked. "So there is no privacy here, I see."
Sora saw Riku's smirk and blushed. The events of last night came flooding back to him. He hadn't thought about the events of last night all day but his male lover's innuendo brought the event to the forefront of his mind.
He loved what happened last night. It was like some force was acting on his behalf and taking control of his actions… in a good way. It made him feel a part of something greater than himself. There was something during that night that connected him with Riku and Kairi. It was hard to describe, even to himself. But during that night, something stirred deep within him and made it so that he could connect with Kairi and Riku. The thought was foreign but it was almost as if he touched their souls.
"No." Sora said softly. "There is no privacy here."
Kairi could feel herself blush when Riku said that. Having her eyes opened to the world of adulthood, she started to see things in a different light. Riku's comment made her hot under the collar.
Riku started stalking towards Sora. "It's just too bad that there's no privacy here, Sora." He whispered huskily.
Sora instinctively moved back. "Why?"
Kairi looked at this with rapt attention. Seeing the two boys like this got her excited. It was strange. Before last night, she would have never thought herself as sexual. And now, she couldn't get sex out of her mind. It wasn't as if she were a pervert. But something awoke within her, like a hunger for someone who hasn't eaten in a long time. It was an apt analogy.
"Think of all of the things that we could do if there was?" Riku whispered.
Sora was not going to let him take advantage of him like this. Two can play at this game.
"Like what?" Sora smirked. His hand descended to Riku's thigh. He wasn't sure if this was appropriate or not. He would let his instinct guide him.
Cheeky bastard, Riku thought to himself. Was this an unrestrained part of Sora? "No. Something like this." Riku responded as his own hand crept along Sora's side in a sensual dance of fingers and skin.
Kairi could play the bystander no longer. She moved herself to get into the action. She made her way towards Sora and her own hands danced along Sora's other side.
Sora was on sensory overload. The feel of both hands on him was pure pleasure. How something as demure as fingers on his side could be so arousing, Sora had no idea.
It was then that he felt something other than pleasure. It was a throbbing of his forehead. At first, he tried to ignore it. The pleasure that he was receiving was far better than the slight discomfort he was feeling. However, the pain became too much.
Riku looked into Sora's eyes, expecting to see pleasure. Instead, he saw a pained look on his face. Sora's blue eyes looked heavy and unfocused. "Are you okay, Sora?"
Sora didn't respond. His head began to droop.
Kairi saw this too and put a hand to Sora's forehead. It was burning up. "Sora, your forehead is hot."
Sora's legs gave out on him. Fortunately, both Kairi and Riku were able to grab him before he hit the deck. Riku shouldered most of Sora's weight on his own and placed him reverently onto one of the beds.
"He has a fever." Kairi told Riku.
"Okay." Riku said, taking command. "You go get Donald or Goofy to tell them. See if they can do something. I'll stay with him and make him comfortable."
Kairi nodded and ran out of the bed quarters. Riku wrapped Sora up in one of the blankets and tore off a piece of his shirt. When he did that, the shirt mended itself. Riku raised an eyebrow at this but said nothing. He took out the bottle of water that he received when they were talking about the Crown and moistened the cloth. He placed it gently on Sora's forehead.
Riku then took Sora's hand. "You are going to pull through, Sora. Kairi and I are going to make sure of that."

Sora felt himself being drawn into the Void. He didn't know how or why this happened. He couldn't even see his physical form. It was as if his heart had separated from his body. There was nothing he could do.
He heard a voice within the Void. "Warrior aligned with the Light," it called out to him. "How is it that you are able to come here?"
Sora tried to answer but found that his voice had left him. I don't even know how I did this, he thought.
"I understand," the voice responded to his thought. "You are incomplete."
Incomplete? What does that mean?
"You have lost something in the past, something precious. Your heart is responding to that by sending your Soul to the Temporality Cauldron."
Lost something precious? Temporality Cauldron?
"This is a place where people can view and sometimes alter the past, present and future. Your being here means that this is the will of the Prime Mover."
Prime Mover? This was getting too bizarre for Sora. I just want to go back to them.
"As soon as you see what you need to see."
In a burst of light, Sora found himself in a different place. He sees himself on the ground, keeling in pain. His Keyblade is thrust into the ground in an effort to stand up. Sora can see a shadowy figure standing over him with a Keyblade in hand.
"You betrayed us all." The other Sora said. "Me… Kairi… everyone… suffering necessary"
The true Sora couldn't make out some of the words that he was saying. It was like there was static.
Why can't I hear everything? Sora asked
"It is because you don't understand all of the events that have come before this to make this event possible."
Who is that standing over me?
"I cannot say as it would overstep the bounds of interference that I am allowed to give at this point. Suffice to say that you trusted this person with your life. If the events happen in a certain way, this will occur."
I won't let that happen.
"How will you stop it?" The voice asked
I don't know but I won't let anyone suffer if I can stop it.
"Such bravado. And yet, the World is always saved by people like you."
Sora felt something disgusting in the back of his throat. It was an odd feeling.

Sora awoke just as Kairi pulled a spoon out of his mouth and massaged his throat. He found himself wrapped in a blanket with a piece of wet cloth on his forehead and a bad taste in his mouth.
He looked around and saw Kairi, Riku, Donald and Goofy around the bed that he was lying in at the moment. They all looked relieved.
"You're awake." Kairi breathed a sigh of relief.
"What happened?" Sora asked
"You have a fever. I just gave you some medicine to bring it down."
"Don't scare us like that." Riku chided him softly.
Sora cocked his head. "That's weird. I didn't feel bad before."
"Just lie down until we get to Traverse Town." Goofy told Sora. "We'll be there shortly."
"Yeah, we'll call you when we get there." Donald added.
Sora nodded and Donald and Goofy left the room.
Riku and Kairi, when they knew that those two had left the room, climbed in the bed with Sora and just held him. Nestled in the warmth that the two provided, the spiky haired warrior fell asleep.
An hour later, Sora could feel the ship descending. He looked to his left and right and saw that Kairi and Riku had fallen asleep with him. It made him feel good that the three of them weren't just in this relationship for the sex. His mind was telling him that it is a weird thing to be in love with two people. And yet, his heart told him that it was right and that there was nothing wrong about it.
He gently shook Riku and Kairi awake. "We're about to land." He said to them
Kairi stretched her limbs to get the sleep out of them while Riku rotated his arms.
"Are you feeling better, Sora?" Kairi asked in a motherly voice.
"Yeah." Sora answered. "I think I just need a nap to make me feel better."
Riku put a hand on Sora's forehead. "Your fever is gone."
Sora jumped to his feet and pumped his fist in the air. "Yeah. I'm fired up. I'm gonna find that crown."
Riku huffed in mock annoyance. "Yeah, yeah." But he was happy Sora was back to his happy, hyper self.
The threesome left the bed quarters to prepare for landing.
Sora, Riku, Kairi, Donald, and Goofy exited the Gummiship and walked into Traverse Town.

The town looked pretty hectic. There were many people running about the First District. The noise was overwhelming.
"What's going on?" Sora asked.
"I don't know." Donald answered.
"Let's ask around." Kairi suggested.
It was then that Kairi felt something. It felt like a heartbeat in her head. She couldn't place it but it was as though there was something attracting her like a magnet. The redhead tried to place the feeling as she scanned around the first district. Her eyes set on an individual in the crowd.
It was a man. This man had long green hair that was brushed and blown straight. But for some reason, Kairi felt that this pull was coming from this individual.
Kairi ran towards this man. The other four were left wondering what had gotten over her.
"Kairi, what's wrong?" Sora yelled after her. In turn, the four of them chased after Kairi.
Kairi finally reached the man that she felt drawn to and instantly, she found herself staring into sea green eyes.
"Are you alright?" the man asked her.
This man's long green hair wasn't his only defining feature. His piercing green eyes stared her down. The man was a medium built tan skin person with slightly callous hands. He wore a light zippered jacket that was opened to reveal a t shirt. He wore cut up jeans and stood with a commanding posture. Kairi looked away, a bit embarrassed that she was staring at this man.
"I'm fine." She apologized.
"Are you ready to go?" He asked
Kairi felt as though there were deeper connotations of what he was asking but didn't think anything of it.
"Go?"
"Yeah. This world is about to disappear." The man told her.
Sora and the gang came in when the man told Kairi that the world is going to disappear
"What do you mean 'Disappear'? Sora asked. "The Heartless threat is gone."
"It is exactly because the Heartless threat is gone that this world is going to disappear." The man told the group.
"What do you mean?" Donald asked.
"This world is sort of a fail-safe. When worlds have been snuffed out by outside threats, this world, Traverse Town, appears to those who refuse to be extinguished. The people travel to Traverse Town and can stay here."
"Sort of like a home away from home." Goofy mused.
"Right." The man continued. "When the Heartless attacked, Traverse Town appeared as a refuge to those who survived the attacks. The people congregated here and created a makeshift society. But with the Heartless defeated and the worlds restored, most of the people decided to return to their own homes and so this world isn't needed. I am helping make preparations for the people who wish to return to their own worlds."
The long-haired man wheeled his arms around and stretched. "So, I haven't introduced myself. My name is Lucinox. Are you ready to return to your world?"
Riku looked at Lucinox. There was something suspicious about this man. Of all the people in Traverse Town, this one just stood out from the others. But why? Why is this person here of all places?
"No. We are actually looking for someone and something." Sora told him. "We are looking for someone name Caserta."
"Caserta, huh?" The man raised an eyebrow. "I've heard that name before."
"Do you know where he is?" Donald asked.
"We are looking for him." Goofy also supplied.
Lucinox put his index and middle fingers on his forehead and closed his eyes, deep in thought. "Well, if you help me with something, I can help you with your problem."
Sora was trying to figure something about Lucinox. Something inside of him told the spiky haired Keyblader that he knew this guy somehow. He couldn't figure out why that was. This was his first time meeting him, he was sure. So why then?
"We can help you, Lucinox." Sora told him.
Riku took him aside. "Sora, I'm not sure that we should trust him yet. We don't even know him."
"Riku, we have no other clue to find this Caserta guy." Sora placed his hands on Riku's shoulders. "We don't have to trust him but it doesn't hurt to listen to him for now."
Riku's eyes widened. When did Sora become so mature? The silver haired teen smirked. "I'll follow you wherever you go."
Sora smiled widely. "Alright then." Sora returned to Lucinox. "What is it that you want?"
Lucinox's face turned grave. "There have been rumors of something attacking people in the second district."
Sora's eyes narrowed. "Heartless!" He growled.
"It's not a Heartless, they say." Lucinox told him. "They say it's a large creature with a crown on its head."
A crown, everyone thought. Could it be the crown that the king is looking for?
"Some have seen this creature in the Second District." Lucinox finished. "If you are going to go, please be careful. I have to help some other people return to their home."
Lucinox jogged off to help a family with returning to their home, leaving the group to discuss their next move.
"So what do we do?" Kairi asked.
"We should investigate." Sora said.
"Should we trust this guy?" Riku put out there.
"Well, he doesn't seem like a bad guy." Goofy added. "I get a good vibe from him."
"Still, we should be a bit careful." Donald answered. "A bit of caution is prudent. That's what Master Yen Sid always told us."
"Master Yen Sid?" Sora asked. "Who is he?"
"He's the person who trained the King in the art of the Keyblade and magic. He's very powerful."
Kairi waved her hands to get the group's attention. "So what are we going to do?"
"I guess we should investigate the Second District." Sora said to everyone.
"It could be a trap." Riku told him.
"What else can we do?" Sora responded. "Let's just go and be careful.
Sora led the way to the Second District of Traverse Town.

The Second District was eerily quiet. The group of five was looking for any signs of life and couldn't find any, not even Heartless.
Unbeknownst to them, two shadowy figures were watching this group as they explored the Second District.
"My lady," One of the figures said in a masculine voice. "It seems as though all of the players in this performance have arrived: the two Keyblade wielders, the Princess of Heart, even the Knight Errant. Shall we begin?"
The female figure nodded. "You may proceed."
The man made some hand gestures.
Those who are born in sin, come forth. The Cruel Angel demands it.
Dark energies started forming behind Sora and the gang without them realizing it.
SHADOW HEARTLESS
Dozens of Shadow Heartless formed from the dark energies.
Sora felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up and turned around, seeing the Heartless.
"Heartless!" Sora growled.
Sora, Riku, Donald and Goofy drew their weapons. Kairi put her hands to her chest.
Oh Rose of the Noble Heart
The Power that sleeps with in me
Heed the call of thy master
And appear before me
As she chanted this spell, the weapon Namine appeared as a hilt. She grabbed it and pulled the Soul Sword from her body.
"Let's go." Sora commanded as he charged the Heartless. The others are not far behind.
Sora swung his Keyblade at one of the Heartless and it was cut down. He then clapped his hands together and charged up the Light within him. When he pulled them apart, it reformed into a spear that he grabbed with his right hand.
BRILLIANT LANCE
He threw the Lance at the Heartless gang and many were blown apart by the attack.
Riku was cutting the Heartless down with his Keyblade and started to glow with dark power. He felt the power within him grow. He raised his Keyblade skyward.
DARK AURA
Riku moved at high speeds, attacking the Heartless rapidly and destroying many of them.
Kairi used the training that Sora and Riku had given her on the island and tried her best to emulate them. She swung her Keyblade down on one of the Shadow Heartless. It just absorbed the blow.
"Why can't I beat this one?" Kairi thought to herself.
"You have to believe in yourself, Kairi." A voice answered in her head.
"Namine?" Kairi thought. "Is that you?"
"Kairi, you have to feel the power within you." Namine told her. "Feel the power."
Kairi closed her eyes. She could feel something within the pit of her stomach. That something in her stomach started to warm her whole body. She could feel it. This was power.
She charged the Heartless again and swung at it. This time, the Heartless fell and disappeared into the Void.
"I did it." Kairi yelled out, alerting some of the Heartless to her presence. "Oops." She muttered. She brandished her weapon at the Heartless, trying to look as menacing as possible.
THUNDARA
Lightning fell from the sky, smiting the Heartless and destroying them. Donald sidled next to Kairi.
"Don't worry, Kairi." Donald nodded. "I've got your back."
Heartless surrounded the two.
GOOFY WHIRLWIND
Goofy spun around the enemies, hitting them with his shield. The Heartless dissipated with that blow.
With handy teamwork and their strength, the Heartless were defeated.
Sora wiped his brow. "Is that it for the Heartless attack?"
The two figures watched as the five of them defeated the Heartless.
"Not bad for rookies." The masculine voice chuckled. "Shall I set the difficulty higher, my lady?"
"You may." The feminine voice responded. "Proceed!"
"As you command."
Those who have consumed themselves in their own self-righteousness, come forth. The Cruel Angel demands it.
AURA MARTYR
Sora and the gang felt a power around them. A luminous power surrounded them, taking the form of a dog with a head twice the size of its body.
"What are these creatures?" Sora asked
"They kind of look like Heartless." Kairi said.
"But with Light." Riku added.
"Whatever they are, they don't look friendly." Sora answered, brandishing his Keyblade.
One of the Aura Martyrs moved to attack. Sora struck it down with one swing of his Keyblade. However, when Sora hit it, it spilt into two Auras
"They split." Sora gasped
"Let me try." Donald yelled.
BLIZZARA
Donald casts a powerful ice dagger and launches it at the Aura. It just bounced off of it harmlessly.
"What do we do now?" Sora asked.
Riku moved closer to Sora. "We need to stick together."
There was a faint glow on their clothes. Sora and Riku both noticed it.
"Riku." Sora gasped. "The clothes."
Sora and Riku felt something in their hearts, like a door unlocking.
EXECUTE LIMIT BREAKER: ETERNAL SESSION
Sora and Riku hovered slightly off of the ground and started attacking the enemies with a series of stabs.
LAST SABER
Sora swung his Keyblade at the Auras, destroying some of them.
DARK CANNON
Riku summoned Darkness to wipe out several Auras.
"Let's crank it up an notch, Riku." Sora smirked.
"Whenever you're ready." Riku nodded.
MASTER HEARTS
Sora and Riku's Keyblades were filled with Light and Darkness respectively, creating a field that extended the length of the Keyblades. While hovering, they swirled around the enemies and slashed them.
XIII BLADES
Sora and Riku created blades of Light and Darkness to surround them as they attacked the Auras with their combined might.
"Let's finish this, Sora." Riku growled.
"I'm with you." Sora responded.
ALL'S END
Sora and Riku threw their Keyblades into the air and, from them, Light and Darkness shot from their Keyblades at each other. This dichotomy drew in the Aura Martyrs into the epicenter, destroying them.
"That was great." Kairi clapped her hands. "You two are so strong."
"Where did you learn an attack like that?" Goofy asked.
"I don't know." Sora admitted. "It was like I already knew it."
"I think it has something to do with the clothes." Riku postulated. "They were glowing before we started the attack."
The two figures above them watched silently. "It has very little to do with the clothes." The feminine voice said. "The clothes, which are the gift of the Knight Errant, only relax the constraints of the body, allowing them to reach deep within themselves and activate powers sooner."
"However, since they are not used to the powers they have, it will come at a price." The masculine voice chuckled.
Sora and Riku collapsed to the ground, exhausted.
Kairi ran to both of their sides. "Are you guys alright?" She asked.
"Just exhausted." Riku told her. He smiled at her and it made her heart flutter.
"We'll be fine." Sora gasped for air.
Before he could say anything more, there was a loud thud.
Kairi, Donald and Goofy readied their weapons. Sora and Riku tried to but they couldn't stand.
"Don't worry, you two." Goofy said. "We'll protect you."
"So, just stay there while we fight." Donald trumpeted.
"This time, I'll protect you two." Kairi smiled back at Sora and Riku. "Trust me."
Sora and Riku could do nothing but nod. They had to believe in the girl that they both loved.
Kairi stood with Donald and Goofy, ready for anything.
A humanoid statue walked from the area of the clock tower. It was a head and a half taller than Goofy and proportionally larger. It was carrying a sword and shield. But on its head was an ornate gold crown.
"Is that the crown the King was looking for?" Goofy mused aloud.
"Let's just beat it now and get it." Donald told him. "Worry about whether it's the right one later."
The statue raised its sword in the air. "Puny ones," The statue spoke in a booming voice. "You have no hope of defeating me. I will smash you to dust."
"I won't let that happen." Kairi shouted back.
The statue slowly made its way towards the three warriors. Donald took this chance to raise his staff in the air.
WATERA
Donald cast a powerful water spell on the statue. However, it had little effect on it.
"Such a puny spell, mage." The statue bellowed. "A spell of that level will never defeat me."
Kairi and Goofy looked at each other and nodded. They charged the statue, planning a synchronized attack. With all of their might, they struck the statue's legs, Kairi with her Soul Sword and Goofy with his shield. There was the loud sound of metal hitting metal.
"What a pathetic attack!" The statue roared. "Let me show you true power."
With a massive swing, the statue used its sword to strike the two. Goofy used his shield to absorb the blow but the force of the attack threw the two of them away.
"Kairi!" Sora and Riku yelled in fear of what happened to her.
Kairi got up from the blow that she received. She was scuffed up but otherwise fine. Goofy, however, found that his shield was destroyed by the attack.
"Sorry, Kairi." Goofy lamented. "I need some time to repair my shield."
"Don't worry." Kairi smiled. "I can do this."
The statue laughed. "Puny girl! What can you do?"
The Soul Sword, Namine, began to glow. Kairi looked down to see that it was radiating power.
"What is it that you are trying to tell me, Namine?" Kairi asked
The Soul Sword responded by vibrating violently. "Believe in yourself, Kairi." She responded. "You have the power within you."
Kairi closed her eyes. She could feel the power within her. A strong Pulse pulsated in her.
The statue laughed. "Have you given up, little girl?"
"I know what I need to do." Kairi said resolutely. She took the vibrating Soul Sword in her hand and raised it skyward.
The statue scoffed. "Is this your way of defying your inevitable fate?"
Kairi charged at the statue. "I will protect Riku and Sora."
VIBRA EDGE
Kairi attacked the statue. The statue used its shield to defend itself.
"Pathetic." The statue laughed. "Is that the best you can do?"
Kairi just yelled in response as she continued to push her Soul Sword against the shield.
The statue didn't realize that the Soul Sword was still vibrating and that a crack had began to form where the Sword was.
"Foolish girl. You have no power."
However, right at that instant, the shield that the statue wielded shattered. With the shield gone, Kairi's attack moved towards the statue's leg. However, it jumped out of the way before it could get harmed.
"I underestimated you, girl." The statue sneered. "But it won't happen again. Count on it."
The statue raised its sword to the sky.
TECTONIC SLAM
With all of its might, the statue thrust its sword into the ground. What resulted was violent rumblings that caused Kairi to be unsteady on her feet.
"Girl, know despair." The statue yelled as it grabbed its sword from the ground and charged.
BLIZZARA
Donald cast his Blizaara spell on the ground, making it slippery. The statue, on unsteady ground, slipped and fell down. When it did that, the shakings stopped.
"Are you okay, Kairi?" Donald asked.
"I'm fine." She responded. "Thank you."
Sora looked at this seen in anger. "If I wasn't so drained, I would turn that statue into rocks."
Riku looked at his male lover. He was thinking the same thing. "Little by little, we'll regain our strength." He told Sora. "Then we'll strike."
Sora wasn't satisfied with this answer. But what else could he do? "Then I'll believe in Kairi." He smiled. "Yep! That's what I'll do."
Sora cupped his hands around his mouth. "You can do this, Kairi." He shouted loudly. "We believe in you."
Riku, not wanting to be outdone, cupped his own hands around his mouth. "Smash this thing to pieces. You have all the power you need to do it."
Hearing their words encouraged her. She felt her Soul pulsating with power. In that instant, time stood still.
Kairi looked around. Everything around her stopped. The statue was just getting up from the ground. However, it was frozen in place. Donald was about to cast another spell and was frozen as well. Goofy was trying to rebuild his shield by putting the pieces together and wasn't moving either. Sora and Riku was stopped as well.
"What is going on?" Kairi wondered aloud.
As she asked, a column of light appeared before her. Her eyes widened. "What is this?"
The column of light pulsated. "I greet you, Princess of Heart." It spoke with a garbled voice, not designating that the voice was masculine or feminine.
"What are you?" Kairi asked.
"I am the Garnet Guardian." It responded.
"The Garnet Guardian?" She asked. "What does that mean?"
"I am a being connected with reality." It answered, giving no clear answer as to what it meant.
"I don't get it." Kairi admitted.
"Because you are not ready to know." It responded. "But in time, you will because we are connected."
"Connected?" Kairi repeated.
"I have come to give you power, Princess of Heart." The Garnet Guardian told her. "Your power is the power to connect your Heart with others. You can bring out the power within others and, in turn, they will bring out the power within you."
Kairi had to smile when she heard that. She wanted to be useful and hearing that made her confident that she would be.
"It also means that you can contract with beings that are not human, allowing you to use their power." The Garnet Guardian explained. "These beings, known as the Mysteries, will come to your aid."
"The Mysteries?" Kairi wondered
"In ancient times, people would create cults devoted to these fantastic creatures. These cults would be known as the Mysteries." The Garnet Guardian explained
"Does this mean I have to join a cult?" Kairi was perplexed. She had no intention of joining one.
"No. I'm just explaining the history of the Mysteries."
"But what does any of this have to do with me?" Kairi asked.
As soon as she did, fairy-like creatures appeared before her. "What are these?"
"These are the Sylphs, fey creatures that will obey your command." The Garnet Guardian told her. "They can be summoned to do your bidding. However, be forewarned. The strength of your heart determines how useful the Mysteries will be and should your heart falter, they will turn against you."
Kairi nodded.
"Then, I shall leave you to your fight." The Garnet Guardian told Kairi. "We shall meet again and, perhaps next time, you will be able to perceive my true appearance."
Kairi prepared as everything returned back to normal. Donald had just finished casting his spell to use against the statue.
STARFALL
Dozens of meteors fall from the sky, heading straight for the statue. The statue takes up a defensive stance. However, before the meteors hit it, they dissipate.
Kairi was shocked. "What happened?" She yelled out.
Donald fell to the floor without grace. "I'm tapped out of magic power."
"Bwahahaha!" The statue bellowed. "Seems as though you are the only one here with any hope of opposing me. Although, to say that you have no hope at all would be more apt."
Kairi glared hard at the statue. "Don't underestimate me."
Kairi raised her Soul Sword towards the sky.
Unseal, the fey forest creatures
SYLPHS
A glowing light shone around Kairi, to the awe of the people around her. The light took form on the left and right of her. Flanking the Princess of Hearts were two girls in plain white dresses and laurels on their heads. The girl on her left was wielding a staff while the girl on her right was had a bow.
"Wow, sister." The girl on Kairi's right whistled. "It's been a long time since we've been summoned."
"Yeah, sister." The girl on Kairi's left responded. "It's a girl and a pretty one at that."
The two turned to Kairi who began to get nervous at the attention.
"What is your name?" One of the girls asked
"What is your sign?" The other girl asked.
"What's your favorite food?"
"What's your favorite flower?"
"What are your hobbies?"
They asked her question after question and she couldn't keep up with them. She began to get dizzy.
"Wait, wait, please?" She begged. "Can we please focus?"
The two fey creatures were silent for a second. Kairi thought that she had gotten through to them.
"WAHHH" They both cried. "She yelled at us."
Kairi didn't know how to take this. On one hand, she didn't want to see anyone cry because of her. On the other, there was a statue with killing intent still around and she didn't feel like being hurt by it.
However, the statue took the initiative and readied its sword to attack. Kairi noticed it and jumped out of the way before she was hit.
"What good is this power if you can't subjugate and control it?" The statue bellowed.
Kairi glared hard but said nothing.
The two fey spirits looked at the statue with disdain.
"You hurt our mistress." The sylphs said in unison. "We will destroy you."
The sylph with the bow gathered Pulse and created arrows. She shot them from her bow.
SYLPH ARROW
The arrows headed towards the statue which deflected them with its sword.
"Is that all the power you command?" The statue yelled.
The sylph with the staff gathered Pulse into her staff. It transformed into a giant hammer.
SYLPH HAMMER
The sylph charged with her hammer and swung it down upon the statue which used its sword to defend itself.
"Not bad." It grunted. "However, if this is all of the power at your disposal, then you will never defeat me."
With its sword, it pushed the sylph away from the statue. The hammer dissipated and returned to being a staff.
The sylphs looked at Kairi, sadness in their eyes. "We're sorry, mistress." They said in unison. "But our connection isn't strong enough to face him at this time."
With that, the sylphs faded and disappeared.
Kairi felt completely drained after they disappeared. She looked at Sora and Riku. She failed them. She couldn't protect them. Kairi admitted to herself that she was weak.
"What good is my strength?" Kairi cried to herself. "I can't even protect the ones I loved."
The statue moved towards Kairi. "You have no strength." The statue told her. "Accept this and die."
The statue raised its sword to the sky. Kairi closed her eyes and waited for the blow to come. She did not hear Sora and Riku call out to her. "I'm sorry." Kairi whispered. "I'm not all that strong."
But the blow never came. She heard the sound of two weapons clashing.
Kairi opened her eyes and saw someone with long hair in front of her, long green hair in fact.
"So this is your collective strength." The person said. "So be it."
The statue growled at the person. The man had a silver Keyblade in his hand. "So who are you?"
"Lucinox!" Kairi gasped in surprise.
"Lucinox." The statue repeated. "What an arrogant name."
Lucinox raised an eyebrow. "How so?"
"Any name with an x is obviously trying to be cooler and stronger than he actually is." The statue snarled.
Lucinox closed his eyes and smirked. "Really? I had not heard that."
The statue lifted its sword. "No matter." The statue bellows. "I will crush you and your supposed strength and coolness here and now."
The statue brought its sword to strike Lucinox. Lucinox prepared and, with one swing of his Keyblade, destroyed the sword of the statue. The statue moved back in shock.
"How inconsequential." Lucinox smiled. "You have very little Pulse. There's no way you can defeat me."
The statue looked defiantly at the long-haired man. "We shall see, haughty human."
Lucinox closed his eyes and waved his right hand around.
Eternal Light, ever true and undefiled, grant this wanton sinner the majesty of thy judgment.
WAY OF DESTRUCTION #22: RAY
A ball of light appeared before the statue and, in an instant, beams of Light shot out from it, breaking through the statue's hard body. The force of the attack destroyed much of the structural tension in the statue. After all, it was an inanimate object brought to life.
The statue crumbled until only the head was left. "This isn't the end, human." The statue's head yelled in vain. "You will be…"
Lucinox narrowed his eyes at the head of the statue. "You have served your purpose." He smiled. "Now it is time to give back what I gave to you."
The long haired man grabbed the crown from the head of the statue and it returned to being an inanimate object. "That's that." He whispered.
Lucinox turned back around and looked at the five before him. Sora and Riku were still struggling to get to their feet, Goofy was nearly finished with repairing his shield, Donald was still exhausted of his magic and Kairi was slumped to the ground in defeat.
The long haired man weaved hand gestures.
VALKYRIE'S EMBRACE
A green light shone around the group, restoring their strength in full. Everyone stood to determine whether this man was friend or foe.
Lucinox smirked. "I believe introductions are in order. My name is Lucinox Cortis Caserta, also known as the Knight Errant."
Riku glowered at the man in front of him. "I thought you said you were going to help us find him if we defeated the enemies."
"I never said that." Lucinox responded. "I told you that I would help you with your problem."
"So you lied." Riku growled.
"I didn't lie." Lucinox stared down Riku. "I just choose my words very carefully."
"So you were the one who sent the Heartless and the white creatures after us?" Sora asked.
"I sent the living statue against you as a test." Lucinox explained. "Leon asked me to do this to judge where you are, power-wise. And now I know."
"A test?" Kairi shuddered. "All of the pain we endured was all a test?" She was on the verge of tears.
Lucinox steeled his gaze. "The enemy will not be kind, Kairi." He took a thoughtful breath and continued. "The path of a warrior is a path drenched in blood, sweat and tears. If you choose to walk on it, prepare to shed many of these things."
He looked at everyone. "Nothing comes without sacrifice. In order to obtain that which you seek, you must be willing to give up time, ignorance, and comfort. This is your last chance to back away from this. From here on, you will experience the horrors of battle. Even so, do you still choose this path?"
Sora regarded this individual carefully. He is the man who put Riku and Kairi through their respective trials to gain power. There was something he couldn't explain inside him. It was like he had a connection within him. But he had never met the guy before the events on Destiny Island. So what was it? In any case, he knew that Juusan Kikan was interested in Kairi as a Princess of Heart and his and Riku's powers over Light and Darkness respectively. He wouldn't allow any harm to those he loved. Remembering the vow that he made to the other Princesses of Heart, Sora was the first to stand and answer. "I won't let anything happen to the ones I care about. I'll fight."
Kairi was shocked by Sora's definite answer. Here was the Knight Errant, the man who had given her the power to summon her Soul Sword. And yet, he was the source of all of her misery. He was the one who told her only a warrior can understand another warrior. She was conflicted. Here she was, trying to prove that she was strong enough to stand as a warrior in her own right and she was protected again. She didn't like it. She needed to get stronger. If this guy, this Lucinox character, was going to give her strength, she would take it. "I want to get stronger. Please, train me."
Riku did not like the long haired guy from the get go. From the first time, he met the guy as the Knight Errant, there was something off with the guy. The silver haired teen couldn't put his finger on it but SOMETHING about Lucinox Caserta, the Knight Errant rubbed him the wrong way. Perhaps it was the fact that he used darkness. Maybe it was the fact that he also wielded a Keyblade. Maybe it was the overall attitude of the guy who knew more than he was letting others know. Something didn't sit right with him. Riku trusted his instinct. This guy was bad news. "I don't trust you at all." Riku flatly told Lucinox.
"I don't expect you to trust me right now." Lucinox said with finality. "That may or may not come with time. However, what I will do for you is make you stronger, teach you about the world around you, about Pulse, Magic, everything. What you do with that power is entirely up to you."
Goofy spoke up at that moment. "What about that crown? What is the story with that?"
Lucinox held up the crown. "This is known as Keter, the Crown of Divine Will. It is one of ten Sephirae."
"Sephirae?" Donald questioned.
"The singular is Sephira." Lucinox explained. "The plural is Sephirae. These ten items have incredible power on their own but together create something incredible."
"What?" Sora asked, now curious about the crown.
"I can honestly say that I don't know. No one in recent memory has ever brought all of the Sephirae together." Lucinox's countenance darkened. "Juusan Kikan can NOT be allowed to grab the Sephirae, just as they can NOT be allowed to gather the Princesses of Heart."
That was the one point on which that everyone could agree. The Princesses of Heart could not fall into enemy hands.
"Time is against us." Lucinox told them. "It is always against us. That is why we need to move quickly. So let us depart and head to Disney Castle."
Lucinox walked away from the group with the crown, muttering. "Too much at stake to waste time standing here."
Sora looked at the other four and sighed. "I guess there's nothing left to do but to go back to Disney Castle."
Riku pulled him aside. "Listen! I don't trust this guy."
Sora stretched his limbs. "Neither do I. But what choice do we have? For now, let's just go back."
With that said, Sora and the gang headed back to the gummiship. Their destination was Disney Castle.

And thus the chapter ends. I know this was probably very difficult to follow with Sora and Kairi's cutscene. It can get a bit confusing but these concepts will be addressed in later chapters so just hold on to it for now. The next couple of chapters will deal with how the Dearly Beloved Kingdom Hearts world works, with explanations about Magic and power. It will be an interesting read and it will explain enough about this story that you can follow. Also, be on the lookout for another sex scene.
