Well, back from first day of marching band practice, and the chapter comes as follows. Enjoy!

-*28*-​
Flying Lessons

Dawn came to Willow Castle in a myriad of inviting yellows, warm reds, and enigmatic purples. Helios stood in the Grand Hall which was off of the foyer. The dust covered stones in the hall added to the empty feeling the decrepid ruin emanated with naturally. Wrought iron chandeliers were adorned with various creatures, and on the walls hung tapestries depicting the ancient times. The albino smiled as he looked at the room. Soon enough, this place would make a stunning base to command the worlds controlled by the Nexus Stone.

A sudden knock came from the large oak door that led back out into the foyer. Once splendid and majestic, it was rotting out and the bolts and hinges had long ago rusted over. Helios walked over to the door and looked out to see Treble standing outside. Helios let his servant inside of the hall.

"What brings you here, Treble?"

"I was wondering how you were going to pull off your first round fiasco."

Helios smiled. "That is simple. You'll face me."

Treble was slightly taken aback. "What? You want me to face you in the tournament, first round?"

"That is the plan here. You are a powerful person, and when the Keybearers make their way here, they will have no idea of any of our fighting capabilities. So, you'll just beat me and I'll go easy. Simple, eh?"

Treble nodded in agreement. Almost in sync with the gesture, a black portal opened in the doorway. Treble studied the figure that walked out of it: black hair, scarred face, red coat, and a stern gaze.

"Ah, Requiem. I trust that you were successful in your venture."

Requiem nodded with obvious difficulty. Treble watched as the highly notorious assassin stumbled and fell to the ground. Only then did it become apparent the extent of the battle.

"Riku was an equal opponent, was he not?" Helios nonchalantly asked. "Anyway, I'll make sure you have a place in the castle to rest and heal. Treble, please escort him out."

Treble bent down and picked up the teen assassin, putting him over his shoulder with about as much care as he'd been a laundry bag.

Requiem looked at Helios as Treble carried him away. "You knew what he did. You knew he was the one all along."

Helios laughed. "What can I say? It's a gift!"

(~`~`--`~`~)

Dirst, Harmony, and Nire were still shaken as the sat on the beach of Open Ocean. Each was lost in their thoughts and the mesmerizing crash of the surf. Harmony was still sobbing softly, and Dirst clenched his fists in bottled up rage. Nire was tired of the whole thing.

"We have to get going. "

Dirst looked at him. "What do you mean? We have no idea what were doing, we don't know where to go, and we don't know how to get to the place we don't know!" Dirst's words became so passionate that by the end of his sentence, he was standing and yelling.

Nire responded with equal fervor. "Come on! You heard what Riku's last wishes were. We have to stop Helios and we have to stay together. Arguing will do nothing but bog us down."

Harmony nodded. "He's right."

Dirst sighed. "I'm sorry, guys. I'm just frustrated with this whole thing. I mean, I know we have to leave, it's just that we don't know how to pilot the Gummi ship thing, and we don't know where Helios is or where Requiem is-." Dirst was interrupted by Harmony.

"You know, they're probably both together. Requiem and Helios. So if we find one, we'll find the other."

"Harmony's right,"Nire said. "Anyway, we have to try to get out of here and on the right track. And that means we have to try to get the Gummi ship running and off of this world."

"Okay, "Dirst agreed. "Then let's do it."

All three of them walked away from the hill of boulders that marked Riku's tomb and back towards the Gummi ship. Dirst turned back for one last look.

"I made a promise," he thought. "And I intend to keep it."

After around five minutes, they found the spot where the Gummi ship had landed. They all looked at the craft that would take them into space and towards their destiny. Then a thought hit Harmony.

"The keyhole."

"What?" Dirst asked.

"The keyhole. Remember at the Celestial Convent? Riku sealed the keyhole their so that the Heartless things couldn't get to it. He said that whenever we go to a world, we should have to seal a keyhole."

Nire turned from the ship to face Harmony. "Look, we don't have time. If we don't leave soon, it won't matter what happens because Helios may do something big. Besides, this world is uninhabited. The Heartless can have it as far as I'm concerned."

With defeat written on her facial expression, Harmony nodded, then climbed into the Gummi ship. Dirst followed, and then Nire came last. Dirst and Nire took the job of trying to fly it, while Harmony was going to navigate once they got off the world. But that would all come down to if they got off of the world.

"Okay, let's look for any wording on the console," Dirst put forward. Both boys began to search the ship for anything that would lead to how to drive the ship. Dirst found the steering wheel, and Nire found a button marked ignition. Without thinking, the bionic teen pressed the button. Instantly, lights flashed on the console, and the engines roared to life. Dirst looked at the steering wheel and pushed it. The gummi ship began to press down to the ground. Harmony grabbed one of his arms and pulled back. The ship began to rise some.

"Okay. So, push to land, pull to fly," Dirst said. "Turn to steer... how about acceleration?"

Nire pointed to glowing pads on the floor. One emananted a green aura, while the other one was red in color.

"I'm guessing green is accel, red is brake."

"Okay. So, I guess we're ready to fly!" Dirst exclaimed. With that, he pulled back on the steering wheel, and the Gummi ship rose up into the sky in response. Then he pressed down on the glowi9ng green pad, and the ship began to move forward. Dirst slowly watched as the island on Open Ocean slowly shrank until it was invisible. He also watched as the mound of black stones evaporated as they flew upward and away.

After watching the world disappear, Dirst turned back to look out before him. The emptiness of space shimmered with stars and other celestial objects. At this time, a screen lit up on the console. On it was what seemed to be some sort of a map of the cosmos. Their position was denoted by a red flashing dot flying away from a blue circle. Various other blue circles dotted the small screen.

Harmony, as resident navigator, studied the map and looked at the blue circles and noticed that they each had letters on them. They were leaving O.O. on the map. On the 'north' side of the map was a circle marked C.C., and close to them on the 'east' side of it was one marked V.C. Harmony instantly knew what it was. She pressed down on the blue circle marked V.C., and in response a full scale model of the world appeared as a hologram. A bustling metropolis materialized, and around it was a large ring with several small objects zipping around it.

Harmony looked to Dirst. "Let's go here."

Dirst looked to Nire. Nire, seeing the hologram of the world on the map marked as V.C., nodded in response. Dirst turned to face outward.

"Alright. V.C. it is."

Harmony sighed. "Yes. Finally I get to go... home."

The new chapter is great. I am very interested to see what happens next, especially as the tournament approaches.

My brain is hurting!!!!! IN a GOOD WAY!

I love this thing so much, I actually took note of it in my own fanfiction, where Karnax and Xangla speak. The book Karnax is reading at his desk is none other than "Cirque De Mort".

umm War himself will not be able to be beaten, unless these people are damn original. He thrives off of conflict, literally, and if you connect with a regular attack you will simply die. So, yeah, I'd like to see how they will beat him.

Continue onward.

Well dang, don't you think you're all sugar and cream?
Nobody is prefect. Not even war. Some of us are all in for the fun of it, and not to look some some idiot god-of-war. Sheesh, don't take it so dang serious!

Wells, here we go. Without further ado, I present the latest but not necessarily the greatest chapter in the fan fiction. Oh, and there will be no prophecy in here. Next chapter is for that!

-*29*-​
The Beginnings of a Dark Keybearer

Ajax shuddered as a drop of water fell onto his head. The Voidrunner was still stuck in the dungeon of Willow Castle, waiting for someone to bring him some sustenance or company. Either would have done him a world of good. The only person he had seen since their capture was Qell-Hadr, and all that the arrogant summoner did was mock the creature and imprison it in a small, invisible cage. At first, Ajax had resisted and had tried to beat his way out with his whip like arms. All this did was make the Voidrunner extremely tired.

Despite his seemingly hopeless situation, Ajax still clung to some hope that he would be rescued in the near future. He didn't realize how soon his hopes would be realized.

As the rays of morning light filtered through his jail cell, Ajax was brought out of his thoughts by the stark contrast of scenery caused by a small black dot. In a matter of seconds, the black grew until it was noticable to the Voidrunner as a dark portal. When it reached the apex of its growth, the portal stabilized, and then Ajax watched as a familiar figure stepped out of it.

"Trisn!" The Voidrunner said, using the telepathic abilites he possessed to get the message to his keybearing friend.

The keybearer looked at the creature, who was now floating about a foot off of the floor. "I'm here to help you," Trisn spoke aloud.

"If you wish to help, use your keyblade to unlock my invisible cage," Ajax replied.

"Hold on a moment. Let me get set." With that, Trisn summoned Darkside and pointed the keyblade at Ajax's head. Instantly, a keyhole presented itself in front of Ajax's face. A blinding beam of white light shot out from Trisn's keyblade and entered the newly found keyhole. In response, the keyhole glimmered brightly and then went out.

Ajax hovered in a stunned state for a moment or two afterwards, but then decided to float forward. To his surprise and excitement, the invisible barrier that had held him was no longer there.

"Oh, Trisn, thank you so-." Ajax was stopped in mid thought as he saw a figure materialize out of the shadows. He wore a black cloak and had dark, slate grey hair. His eyes glimmered a cold green, and in his hands he held a keyblade.

"Sorry to interrupt this little rescue," the teen keybearer said, "but I'm afraid that this will not fit into Lord Helios's plans. Now, back away from the cage, Trisn."

"Who are you to tell me what to do?" Trisn shot back.

"I am Sidrix, and you are about to be in a world of pain."

Trisn watched as Sidrix drew his weapon into a fighting position. Trisn readied for the battle, but it was over in an instant. Without warning, Sidrix pushed his arm out, and the move caused the keyblade to go forward at an incredible speed. Trisn took the blow full on to the chest, and the impact threw him against the back wall with a harsh crack. Trisn gave a cry of pain, then he fell into what seemed to be an unconcious state.

Ajax, shocked to see his friend beaten so badly, decided to attack while there was a chance. He charged forward, arms swinging and raging with electrical current. However, Sidrix quickly summoned his keyblade away from Trisn's slumped form and mindlessly pointed out. Ajax, oblivious to the danger, was given a huge slice by the blade. The Voidrunner fell to the ground, blood pouring out of the ghastly wound.

Unbeknownst to Sidrix, Trisn was coming around from the hefty blow he had been dealt. Suddenly, in his mind, Trisn was visited by the Voice.

"Young keybearer, now is the time."

"What?" Trisn murmured aloud, still somewhat groggy.

"Now is the time to use the darkness bestowed upon you. Open your heart to it, and the darkness shall be yours."

Trisn, by his own volition or not, managed to follow the instructions of the Voice. He focused all of his thoughts onto one thing: darkness. Slowly, he felt strength returning to him, and as he was standing up he noticed several small black puddles form on the floor. When he reached a straight up position, Trisn watched as small black creatures with antennae and yellow eyes emerged from the black pools. Without second thoughts, Trisn knew that these strange beings were Heartless. He smiled, then turned to Sidrix.

"Okay, you ready to fight?"

Sidrix stared at Trisn. "Only if your ready to lose."

With that, both ran at each other with keyblades raised. Trisn swung first and delt Sidrix a blow to the arm. Sidrix slashed at Trisn but missed by a hair. However, Sidrix swung back and struck Trisn in the thigh. With a grunt, Trisn lashed out at Sidrix with a quick thrust. Sidrix saw the move coming and jumped backward. Trisn looked at wear the other keybearer had landed and saw the small group of Shadows clawing at Sidrix. The nobody dealt each one a slice to the head, and they all evaporated in a mist of black.

"Looks like your little helpers are a bit of a let down," Sidrix sneered.

Trisn, not at all amused, charged once more at the nobody. Sidrix glared at Trisn, then thrust forward. Like before, the blade flew forward at an incredible pace. And also like before, Trisn was taken totally unawares. Sidrix's keyblade hit Trisn square on, ending all movement on his part save for a backwards path. Trisn hit the stone floor with a loud noise, and he hit his head hard, resulting in instantaneous black out. He released his grip on Darkside, and the keyblade clattered on the floor. Sidrix smiled, his form practically unscathed by Trisn's attacks. Sidrix's keyblade disappeared, and he put the keychain in his pocket

"Hardly worth the effort," Sidrix murmured. He knelt down on the ground and picked up Trisn's Keyblade. He looked at the keychain, then unhooked it from the blade. The keyblade evaporated in his hands with a flash of light, leaving only the keychain. Sidrix got back up and put the keychain in the same pocket as the other keychain. He surveyed the scene: one of the targets was unconcious, the other severely wounded. With both foes neutralized, Sidrix walked out of the dungeon.

Wow....and to think, I missed out on all that.

Sheesh....no wonder some of this confuses me.
But yet i understand the feelings of your characters, which is why I love this thing so darn much.

I applaud you, Davey Jones. Not a lot of people can get that far on a fanfiction unless they are really dedicated.....and type REALLY fast.
