I have been limited to the use of my computer, and sadly, to my \'devoted fans\', the Chapters will be a while before I can put up another one. Please keep in mind that these Chapters can ans will take time to write. Also, I will try to be on as much as possible to complete the story.

Ok well we can wait, I know I can, these are awesome!

Sorry for the delay. I had forgot about this due to school work and by the time I actually HAD time to type this, my writing program messed up. But none the less, here it is, Ch. 6. Xb

>>Chapter 6<<

“Humph. You think that you can beat me kid? Well, let me see what you got.” The man jumped backward and started to run in a circle, as if he was studying me, my breathing habits, my soul. “Why are you just standing there kid, you know that you are outmatched?”

I laughed. “No way. I am just thinking on how stupid you look running in a circle like that. Has it not hit you yet that you cannot beat me with mediocre tactics? If you haven’t noticed, you are seriously out matched.” ‘Fall for it... fall for it...’

“Grr, you insolent dog! I shall rip you limb from limb!” The man charged for me, and I took full advantage of it. He swung at my torso, and I nimbly dodged it. His anger was beginning to fill up and overwhelm his senses. He could not see very clearly, for every time he swung, he tripped.

“Getting a bit sluggish, aren’t you? Maybe it is your ego, I mean, it could be weighing you down.” I decided not to strike at this time. I knew if I tried to hit him in this rage, he could very easily turn the battle. Anger is a great tool, but also a great weakness.

“Grr. I am tired of your back talking. Face me like a true warrior, or are you just a little frightened boy?” The man stopped moving and attacking. “Yes, I see now. You are just scared.”

I stopped my movements and stared at the man. ‘He is trying my own tactics against me, how bland.’ I thought. ‘I could never find someone with some original ideas...’

“Or is it that you are scare that I will make quick work of you just like I did that Moogle? Yea, that is it, isn’t it? You are afraid of what will happen to you once I connect with a blow. How childish.” I know that he was trying to get me to attack, I know that I was being played for a chump, but at that time, my anger swelled up and there was nothing holding me back. I couldn’t stand here and watch him taunt me with his evil deeds.

“You shall pay for those words!” I charged at the man and slashed. He knew that I was about to attack, so he easily dodged the move and flipped backwards, landing on his feet and chuckled.

“I never thought that I would be able to get you to crack that easily. Man, I do love my job.” He pulled his sword and stood there, taunting me. I didn’t know what was wrong with me, but I was compelled to fight. I knew of nothing else, except the will to bring this monstrosity down.

I ran to the man and brought my Keyblade down on him hard. He tried to block the blow, but all he did was cause sparks to fly forth, increasing my will to fight. He shoved me off and gained a great deal of ground as he swung at my head, missing it narrowly every time. As we went, I could tell that he was grinning. I began to slow my attacks, but kept my movement at its peak. I noticed something about the man that I had not noticed at the beginning of the battle. The man’s sword, if he had truly struck Kri down, where was the blood? Where was the evidence of this?


During my thoughts, the man released his sword and threw it at me like a boomerang, flying off into the distance, barely missing my side. He grinned as he tugged on something. A strap of something...

I was in mid motion when the sword curved and flew back at me, hitting me squarely in my back. I spat up blood, but that was the least of my worries. As it hit me, it carried me forward, slamming me into the man’s chest, to where he then grabbed me and began to squeeze me, forcing me to submit to him.

“How does it feel to have your life ripped from you? I never felt this myself, but I heard that it is quite painful. Come now, tell me, I don’t like to be kept waiting!” The man began to squeeze harder. Suddenly, he let me go. I could breathe air again, but as I drew in my first breath, his boomerang came back at me and hit me in the back, knocking me back into him. The man laughed. “Come back for more I see! Well then!” He grabbed me tightly and began to squeeze again.

I could do nothing. I was caught in his grip and he knew that he had won. I could feel my breathing becoming lighter, more erratic. I looked around one last time, hoping that I could find a way to beat this monster. I took notice to his sword. It was sticking out its sheath three inches too much, but this was enough for me. I drew up some of my remaining energy and focused. I had one spell left in me, and this time, it would not fail me.

“Thunder!” I shouted, and as I did, the man let go. A lightning bolt fell from the sky at an extreme rate and struck the man as he pulled the sword forth, holding it up to strike. The man was instantly bolted. He stood there shaking uncontrollably, smoking, and his hair spiked up. He dropped the sword, which crackled with electricity, and fell to his knees. He seemed to give me a glance, then fell to the ground. He wasn’t going to move for a while, that is, if he survived that. I laid there, eyes to the sky. I could feel a slight rain pouring over me. I welcomed it, I could do with the cold water.

“Kupo! Wake up!” I felt a slap come across me and I instantly shot forward. I looked around and noticed that Mal had slapped me awake. She seemed to be mad about something, but I couldn’t tell what.

“What is the matter, Mal?” As I said this, I looked around and seen that the man was gone. There was no evidence that he had even been there, besides the scorched part of the city where the Thunder spell had struck. As I turned back to Mal, she was gone. I looked to where Kri was, but he too was gone. I stood up and looked at my surroundings, which was now beginning to dissipate. I was no longer in Twilight Town, but was now drifting through Darkness.

‘Kupo, do you think that he can handle it?’ This sounded like Mal, but I couldn’t have been sure.

‘Well, he was the first to survive the task, kupo.’ Kri? I couldn’t believe it. It was his voice, but where were they talking from? They couldn’t be near here, where ever here could be. ‘I think that we should, kupo. I don’t think that we will see another warrior this capable.’

‘Agreed.’ Mal suddenly appeared before me with a white, glowing aura around her. “Kija, we have decided to give you something. We have been here on Twilight Town for many years, testing many warriors as they come, and to tell you, you are the first to pass. Now before you get all happy, kupo, I have to tell you this: Ansem is back and he is aiming to control one of your friends as I speak. I cannot tell you who, or when, but I will tell you that it will happen at Kingdom Hearts. I can only hope, kupo, that you will be ready by then. And for passing our test, kupo, I now bestow upon you the legendary Keychain, Twilight Blade. May the light stay with you, kupo.” Before I could speak again, Mal was gone and I was fading into the darkness. I held onto the Keychain for security as I fell into Darkness.

“Hey father, what are you doing?” Crista walked up to her father as he was tinkering with his Gummi ship. She knew that he loved to do so, and she rarely like to bother him, but on this occasion, she seemed quite interested in his work.

“Hm? Oh, Crista, what are you doing here? I thought that you didn’t like it when I was working on my Gummi Ships. But to answer you question, I am putting the finishing touches on my final ship: the Auron.” He put down his rag and stepped back. “It is a work of art, if I do say so myself.” He wiped his forehead and turned to his daughter. “Now, what is it that you needed?”

Crista blushed slightly. “Nothing, I just wanted to see what you were doing.” She moved close to her father and hugged his arm. “I don’t get to see you very often. I wish that you would come home more.” She continued to hug his arm as he began to hug her.

“I know child, I wish that I could, but my boss has been making me pull more than I can handle, but a job is a job. I tell you what, me and you, just the two of us, will go on a picnic up to your favorite hill for as long as you want that weekend. How does that sound?” Crista’s eyes grew to unbelievable proportions.

“You mean it? Oh daddy!” She threw herself on her father and clung to him as if his life depended on it. “Oh, that means that I will need to pack everything! Oh, so much to do!” Crista quickly left the Gummi shop and sped home, with wonderment in her eyes.

Me and father on a picnic! I shall make sure that this one will be one to remember. Just you wait, this will be the best picnic ever. Before she knew it, she was at her home and had opened her door. As she stepped through the threshold, a unfamiliar smell drifted to her. She stood there, trying to depict the smell, but she couldn’t. She reached for the light switch on the wall and as she turned it up and the light came on, she screamed.
