Chapter 10
The girl jumped up and gasped when Sora and Riku pointed their keyblades in her direction.
"Who are you?" Sora demanded. She looked slightly unsteady as she glanced back and forth between the two boys, then she suddenly straighted up and glared at them.
"
I am trying to fix a problem that
I created. So if you would excuse me, I have some work to do." After she said this she tried to push her way past them, but Riku blocked her and matched her glare with one of his own.
"You didn't answer his question.
Who. Are. You?" Riku snapped in a very impatient tone.
"who I am is none of your business," she said stubbornly. "Now, if you don't mind, I would really like to go back to work." Sora and Riku backed away in surprise as she shoved between them and started walking away.
"Wait!" Sora said as he turned and ran after her. "You're the one that's responsible for all of the stuff going on, aren't you?" At his question, the girl lowered her head and looked ashamed. "Just tell us what's going on."
She sighed and looked around at the construction of the castle, then back at Sora. "Fine. You and your friend can follow me. If you want to know what's happened, we'll need to find somewhere where no one's going to overhear us."

"First off, you should know that I didn't mean for any of this to happen. I went to visit Disney Castle, like I'd been visiting dozens of other worlds. King Mickey was busy at the time, so Donald showed me around and told me about some of the adventures that you all had been on," the girl glanced up at Riku and Sora, then continued in a quieter tone. "He mentioned a Door that allowed you to go back in time and how you used it to stop someone from ruining your history. After he explained all of this, i asked him if any of you had considered using the door for other things. it had seemed pretty simple to me, you could just go back and prevent all of the things that caused such trouble from happening. As soon as I said it I realized how ridiculous it was." She shook her head and looked off into the distance. "I tried to change the subject, but I guess what I had said had caught his interest. He started asking me more about what I thought they could change by using the Door. At the time, I didn't see the problem with explaining some of the possibilities that time travel offers. I told him that someone could go back and rewrite the events of history, improve things for themselves in their current time. But by doing that it would in affect everything and everyone else. If you were to change too many things, or change something too much, it could cause problems that you couldn't possibly imagine." The look on her face was grim as she continued. "I think Donald had stopped listening to me the moment that I said someone could make things better for themselves."
Sora and Riku waited a few seconds to see if she would continue, but she was leaning back and looking around like she was expecting someone to be watching them.
"So Donald got the idea to change time from you, but you didn't help him." Sora said as he tried to understand everything that she had just told them.
"I've been trying to see how far the affects would spread, and how quickly, because once they reach a certain point I won't be able to do anything about any of what's happened." She said as she stood up slowly, "right now it hasn't spread from this world, which is good, but if it's not fixed soon, it will spread to other worlds. It will be like if you had never met up with anyone from this world, and they had never helped you."
"But, we would never have been able to defeat Ansem or Organization XIII without them!" Sora exclamed.
"So no one will have stopped them, and things will go back to being the way that they were?" Riku asked.
"Exactly," she said as she turned and started walking away, "which is why I have to stop it before it gets that far."
"Wait!" Sora said, "You can't expect to be able to stop this all by yourself. Let us help you."
"That's sweet of you, Sora," she said over her shoulder, "but I don't want to risk the two of you getting hurt. I'll handle this."
"And if you can't?" Riku said skeptically, "What happens then? It'll probably be too late for us to stop this. I definitely don't want things to go back to the way that they were. I'm staying, and if you don't want my help, then I'll just find a way to stop these effects from happening on my own." He crossed his arms and glared stubbornly at her.
"That goes for me too!" Sora added.
The girl sighed and looked off into the distance. "Very well then, I suppose I could use the help."
"Then we have an agreement." Riku said calmly. "Now will you tell us your name?"
She turned to look at them, and smiled slightly. "I'm Lya."
