CHAPTER NINE

 

 

Monsters created by others...

 

 

Shabon walked through nearby town of castle she was held. It was so pretty and castle was corgeous. Peoples were happy, not knowing about monstrousness that happened at their radiant and magnificent castle.

Shabon saw two boys at street. Other one had an red hair and other one silver. She approached them and looked how red haired one tried to fix something.

"Your doing it wrong." Silver haired boy said.

"No im not! Just give me some time okay?" Red haired one said.

"Hi there." Shabon said and both boys looked shocked.

"Oh sorry. Did i scare you?"

"Its okay miss. We just though you were those guar..." Red haired boy tried to say but silver haired boy putted his hand to his friends mouth.

"Who are you?" Silver haired boy asked.

"Im Shabon. Who are you two?"

"Im Silver. This is Dre." Silver said. He stood up and showed to Dre that they should go somewhere else.

"Whats wrong? Dont be bothered because of me." Shabon said.

"Sorry, but if you are from the castle... we know what you are up to... we know what they did to Wyleo." Silver said and grabbed Dres arm and dragged him away from Shabon, who was soon alone at square.

Was it true? Zenerith said that they abducted peoples from outside worlds... except hunters did it, so its obvious for those psychos to abduct easily childs from town...

 

Shabons reports 3: Found of origins

 

It is so awful... i found out where DayFaders

come from... and its horrible...

This man is creating them, by testing other

peoples! Forcing them to do horrible things

for their hearts... i never though there would

be such a evilness...

 

 

"Look at this forest! It is so perfect!" Nile said. And it was true. Forests were kinda impressive with such a great trees. There was city nearby that playground, where Kuma and Nile appeared. Nile cleaned up the scepter of Jinn, while Kuma went into merry-go-round.

"I heard there is an monster at forest." One of boys said. Kuma looked to group of childrens, who were gathered together to penches.

"There is no monsters!" Girl said.

"Believe what you want, but then how do you explain those dissappearings?" Boy answered. Now Nile also seemed to listen them.

"They say, that they were eaten after being ripped to pieces. Then monster searches more peoples to eat." Boy said. Kuma went to Nile.

"What are they talking about?" He asked.

"Two families and two lonely childrens dissappeared to forest. Peoples believes there is an dangerous animal out there. Kids thinks its an monster..."

"And thats why we are here?" Kuma asked and Nile nodded.

"It is possible it is something challenging, like an xioblivian or DayFader... in way or another, im going to catch it. Im sure this one will be rewarded if captured..." Nile said and looked to forest with very excited face.

"I dont never understand your tastes..." Kuma said. He wasnt even sure if he could never understand monster hunters either.

"Lets get going then." Nile said.

"What? But if there really is an dangerous monster?!" Kuma said.

"Are you scaring? Boy who just faced an fearsome spirit and managed to seal it into scepter? You are coming or you are not going home." Nile said. Kuma havent even though about home, Shabon or Gake lately... it felt so weird how one word can make such a pain to heart.

"Ok im coming..." Kuma said and followed Nile to forest.

"Hey you?" An boys voice shouted.

"Wanna some companion? I think i know where the monster is." Boy said.

"Really? Then lead the way." Nile said coldly to boy. When boy looked to Kumas face, Kuma though he saw hatred in the second at boys eyes. He even felt uncomfroable, when boy passed him. Nile was so weird... didnt wanna adult woman to get into his way, but lets little kid to lead him to monster...

 

 

 

An firework show at library was brilliant idea. All prefects runned to there, while Gake sneaked into Malicons office.

"Dont you ever learn your lesson?" Man asked from him while looking outside of window.

"Sorry, i didnt get that memo." Gake answered.

"Tell me why are you using xioblivians? Why are you letting them to take away hope of these kids?"

"Simple. I hate childrens... then this woman came here and offered some help to me and casted an spell to every adult, so they couldnt suspect a thing. She presented xioblivians to me and told me that they needed hope from others, so they could get more powerful..."

"Who was she? Answer me!" Gake shouted.

"Her name? I suppose it was Crace... such a brilliant name for such an excellent woman..." Malicon said.

"Crace?"

"You know her then?" Malicon asked.

"SHUT UP!" Gake shouted and attacked. Malicon was quick. He dodged the strike and kicked Gake to waist, causing him to fly against bookcase. Malicon took a grip from Gakes neck and rised him up so that even his feets didnt touch the ground.

"You should have obeyed me... now you pay the price..." Malicon smiled and drained energy to his other hand and was ready to punch Gake to face, but then someone pushed man to stomach. When Gake felled to floor and goughed hardly, he saw how Denny pushed man against window. Malicon kicked him away with really powerful kick.

"No!" Gake shouted and shooted powerful fire magic to Malicon, that pushed him through window and man felled down. An xioblivians appeared to below him and created an black hole where Malicon felled.

"Nooooo!" He screamed before xioblivians closed the hole and vanished. Malicon belonged to darkness now.

¨"Your ok?" Gake asked and helped Denny to stand. Boy nodded.

"Thanks." He said.

"No. Thanks to you. Without your help he could have killed me." Gake said and smiled.

 

 

Gakes reports 2: Hope

It appears that xioblivians are draining

hope inside peoples hearts to become more

powerful.

I bet i have learned much more than Shabon.

Im now going to see master. Im so glad i can

see Kuma and Choku again...

CHAPTER TEN

 

Revelations

 

 

Shabon appeared to school gates and went inside. It was time to meet master Magma and tell him about Kuma. Just seconds behind her, Gake appeared to sky with keyblade glider and he landed and disarmored immediatly and runned inside the school.

"Master! Im back!" Shabon said.

"Shabon? I didnt expect you to be back so soon. Did you find anything out?" Magma asked.

"Just a little." Shabon said and handed her reports for Magma.

"I got information about Kuma." Shabon said and master stopped reading, but still stared to book.

"He was kidnapped again by Umbra." Shabon said.

"What!"

"No need to panic! Man who looked alot like older version of Gake saved him." Shabon said.

"Older version of me?" Gake said and both Magma and Shabon looked to him.

"Whats going on?" Gake asked.

"Master? Do you have any idea who that man would have been?" Shabon asked.

"Wait here... i better ask from my friend, Synthia about this..." Magma said and walked to other room, where was nothing more than small fountain. He touched water with his keyblade.

"Synthia..."

"Hello there Magma." Synthia answered.

"can you show me where Kuma is and with who?"

 

 

 

Kuma, Nile and this boy, Charl were walking to gore of forest. Day was coming to end.

"Are you sure this is correct place?" Kuma asked from Charl.

"Stop whining!" Boy answered.

"What did you say?" Kuma asked and turned around and then boy hitted his face with something hard and Kuma felled to ground.

"What a-? Nile was shocked as he looked hoe Kumas nose bleeded. He summoned his keyblade to fight, but something wrapped him. It was giant spider-like DayFader.

"DayFader? But how?" Kuma shouted and tried to crawl away, when Charl came close to him with his hockey stick.

"Shut up boy!" Charl screamed and tried to hit Kuma again, but Kuma quickly rolled away and stood up and took of running. He had no interestings to fight with crazy little kid in forest at almost night-time.

He tripped to one of roots and felled to ground. He then saw an gave, which entrance was sealed with spell. There was peoples in gave.

"Families and kids that dissappeared!" Kuma though. Charl was keeping them prisoners in there. But why? Suddenly giant DayFader appeared and Charl was riding on it. Nile was still wrapped and he tried to struggle against monsters great power.

"Bring it on!" Kuma shouted and summoned his keyblade.

 

 

"That man... was..." Master magma stuttered.

"Who?" Gake asked. Master sighed.

"Remember when you were at coma last year Gake?" Magma asked and Gake nodded.

"Truth is that you werent in accident... you was abducted by very evil man... he did tests to your heart. Synthia managed to save you and she made false memories to everyone, so this thing wouldnt bother you or anyone...."

"What!" Gake shouted.

"Synthia discovered that your heart was shattered and splitted to many parts, that dissappeared to darkness... that man, with name of Nile... is your DayFader..."

 

 

Charl felled down to ground as giant DayFader dissappeared. Nile felled to ground too.

Soon authorities appeared and released captives from cave and arrested Charl.

"He hated them..." Kuma said, when Nile opened Spirit window.

"What?" Nile said.

"He hated those families, cause he dont have own... is that really good reason to use darkness against others?" Kuma asked and Nile didnt answer.

"Hey! Come back here!" One of authorities shouted. Kuma turned around and felt how Charl pushed him to ground and saw how boy jumped to Spirit window.

"No!" Nile shouted.

"We haf to stop him! He is dangerous! He could just do same things at other worlds!" Kuma shouted, but Nile stopped him.

"We cant reach him... he can be anywhere now, cause he cant control Spirit windows..."

"But..."

"No buts! Forget about him!" Nile shouted and held Kumas wrist too tight.

"Ow! You are hurting me!" Kuma said and Nile let go.

"Im sorry..." Nile said. It was weird... why is he aplogizing? Its not like him at all. This boy reminded him from something, but what was it? Why he just cant let boy to go home? Its like boy is his best friend or something... its like they would have been unseparateable forever...

CHAPTER ELEVEN

 

 

Craces protection

 

Zenerith was enjoying at that night. He was going to party, held in castle, he could easily poison master Ronwae with his own special poisonous medicine. He was creating it weeks. It would look like an heart attack. And then nothing was on his way, when he rules everything, since he was Ronwaes successor.

He was still thinking about that boy who was kept in tests at four hours before returning to cell. He was strong for being such a young person. He was first one to not dying after hours of tests. Interesting, but he will be used again at midnight.

He stepped inside room, where was lots of royal peoples, contessas and rich families.

"Master Ronwae. I have arrived." Zenerith said to his master.

"Good thing. Say, have you forgotten those disturbing plans of yours to study darkness really closely." Ronwae asked and Zenerith tried to not show his hatred.

"Absolutely sir. Absolutely..." Zenerith lied and went closer to Regne.

"Regne. There you are. I have a task for you." He said to young man, who looked shocked.

 

"T-task sir?" Regne stuttered.

"Yes... put this juice to masters glass. Its special drink only he as a ruler may drink..." Zenerith said and forced bottle to Regnes hand.

Regne gulped and went closer to glasses. He dropped drink to inside Ronwaes glass and took it to table into masters place. Then he started to fill other glasses with other drinks. Zenerith smiled evily, but killed that smile immediatly, so no one would suspect a thing... everything was perfect now. He talked to lots of peoples, danced with council lady Lila and finally after all seven speaches, he tooked his seat in three places away from Ronwae at left.

Everyone looked awfully happy, but soon it all ends... everyone in this table will become great test subjects...

Ronwae rised his glass, but then castle was shaking, causing Ronwae to drop the glass and poison inside it.

"WHO DARES!" He shouted so loudly everyone looked to him.

He was sure something is happening and was right. Crace was at castle to save his son.

"Im coming Umbra!" Crace shouted.

 

"This is your home world?" Kuma asked from Nile. It looked huge swamp, where was alligators and snakes at everywhere. Niles house was an small wooden cabin which was also very dirty and messed up.

"Yup. Welcome to my cabin." Nile said and putted scepter of Jinn to couch, while going in front of mirror.

"I haf to check if someone wants that thing. Iĺl come back soon." Nile said and jumped to inside the mirror, much for Kumas suprising.

Suddenly someone tackled Kuma to floor and held knife in his neck.

"Who are you? What are you doing in my brothers cabin?" Girl asked.

"Brother? Im his friend!" Kuma shouted in terror. He felt knife against his skin.

"Yeah right! Everyone here knows he is most wanted monster hunter! You are here to either arrest him or assassinate him!" Girl shouted.

"WHAT! NO!" Kuma tried to explain, but was too terryfied to say anything else.

"Prepare to die!"

"Diana!" Nile shouted and girl turned her face to him. Kuma hardly could move his eyes enough, because he was too afraid to turn his face, cause knife was too close.

"Hi bro! I just caught another whimp trying to attack you!" Diana said.

"Thats not a whimp! He is my... whats the word... friend! Let him go!"

Diana looked embarrased as he let Kuma go. Kuma quickly stood up, took few steps away from girl and started to try his neck if there was vound or something. Nile looked a bit shamed.

"Kuma this is Diana. She is my sister." Nile said.

"Yeah i see..." Kuma said and looked away from girl.

"Look. im sorry Kuma, about that. I do that pretty much every time someone sneaks into here." Diana said.

"Yeah. So normal... jump onto another person and put knife to his throath... SO NORMAL!!!" Kuma shouted.

"Soooooorry...im sorry im sorry im sorry..." And that same sentence lasted for next three minutes until Kuma told her that he forgives to her if she just shuts up.

"So, are you taking me to home now?" Kuma asked from Nile.

"Lets see about that tomorrow. I need some sleep. Dont bother about spiders, cause they arent toxic." Nile said and went upstairs.

"Spiders?" Kuma asked and looked scared.

"Wanna sleep in my tent? There is no creatures." Diana asked and Kuma nodded immediatly.

Crace dashed toward burning corridors. Zeneriths defensive machines wasnt an hard competition for her skills. She simply jumped to wall and used wall-run and slashed all cameras and shotguns to pieces. As machines exploded, she saw door closing at end of corridor. She dashed to huge speed and was sure to make it in time. She then slided under the door, when it closed. She was at laboaratory.

"There she is men!" Zenerith shouted to soldiers, who started to shoot her. Crace smiled. How pathetic these guys were... She jumped to air and locked to one of guards and then attacked him and returned to her place at air and locked to another guard. Then another and another.

"How dare you interupt with my plans!" Zenerith shouted.

"I am Crace...Master Crace! How dare YOU to abduct my son and apprentice?" Crace shouted. Zenerith shooted darkness to Crace, but Crace summoned more of her own darkness, causing an power collission to between them. Crace throwed her keyblade to Zenerith, but man jumped over it.

"Stupid man..." Crace cursed and started to create dark meteors and shoot them around the room, destroying everything. Machines, computers, gas pipes, tables and paper piles.

Then wall collapsed. Whole wall started to fall into pieces from up to down, revealing secret corridor behind it. Crace smiled and charged to down there, while Zenerith shouted his rage after her.

Crace jumped to roof and slided down on it as it was much more straight than stairs. At down she jumped back to floor, then made jump to wall behind her and charged through door in front of her. She was at cell, where Umbra was helded. She looked how her son looked sick and his face was full of blue maculas.

"My poor Umbra..." She cried and rage filled her heart. She took Umbra to her shoulders and red aura of rage surrounded her.

"Destruction...FORCE!!!" She shouted. At then everything around her blasted. Walls and rooms exploded. Floors and roofs around her collapsed. Half of castles downstairs exploded and giant red fire escaped to sky, causing several of towns windows to break.

Crace was at her keyblade armor and she flied away with Umbra, leaving halfly destroyed castle behind her. She would return someday to finish that man... no one couldnt take Umbra from her. Not her husband, not her old friends... not even that narcistic prep!

[Hunter Hawk 392]

Epic!!!! Nile and Gake are almost like Sora and Roxas! You did gave me some action when I find out that Nile is Gake's Dayfader!

 

And I was kinda surprised by Crace, she does have some care in her.

[replika13 455]

CHAPTER TWELVE

 

 

Plannings

 

Next morning, Diana woked Kuma up and walked him back to cabin. There Nile had table full of different kinds of foods. Mostly meat of different wild animals like alligator and python, which was his favorite. Kuma himself liked Nommy sandwich with cheese and spicy sauce. Muchly for Kumas discust, Diana too ate pretty much anything from table. Fried spiders were his favorite.

"So, what are you gonna do today Nile?" Kuma asked.

"Im getting new missions into Hunter connection at any second, so i travel to other worlds again. Before that i´ll drop you to home." Nile said and stood up.

"What about you Diana?"

"Me? Im here to take care of grounds and clean up this mess. Thats what i always do..." Diana smiled and Kuma tried to smile back but his face got red a bit and he turned his face away.

"When are we leaving?" Kuma asked.

"Never..." An mans voice answered. All three watched to door. There was five men with swords and weapons. They looked scary and Kuma was sure about Niles face, that these wasnt his friends.

"How did you get here? How did you manage to avoid all traps and animals?" Diana asked.

"Who are they?" Kuma asked.

"No one. Just a big pile of scummest scum that ever walked to my territory!" Nile said and took his keyblade from corner.

"You really dare to say that croco-man?" Leader of intruders said.

"Sure. I can spell whole sentence to you, if you then get it better." Nile laughed and attacked. Leader stepped away and Nile felled onto other four. Diana took grip from Kumas arm and dragged him out of window.

"We haf to help him!" Kuma shouted.

"Its better to us to stay away! Nile is dangerous, when fighting with that guy and his numbskull minions." Diana said and dragged Kuma to swamp. Kuma saw how Nile started to glow and change shape. That was powerful spirit formation. Nile become an giant alligator. His tail was so long and heavy that it crused lots of terrace of his cabin. Men were running and shooting to him, but his shell was so strong.

"I think you are right." Kuma said and smiled while they runned through swamp. Diana was so beautyful when running...

Crace putted another healing veil into Umbras forehead. Boy started to wake.

"Where am i?" Umbra asked.

"Your safe my dear... your home..." Crace said. Umbra was suprised to see his mother so reliefed.

"I didnt need your help..." Umbra said.

"Yes you did! You haf to admit that everyone makes mistakes and haf to pay the price!" Crace said.

"Yeah right... like you paid anything about your failures in Kumas capturing plans... they all sucked."

Craces face turned to full of anger.

"I lost his respection toward me... that is pretty big price for loving mother..." She said.

"Hmph."

"But i already came up with another plans... we dont need Kuma in this one..."

"Oh yeah? Is this about why you spread xioblivians to other worlds?" Umbra asked.

"Precisely my boy! Xioblivians are collecting hope in peoples hearts. With that power of hope, we can conquer Kingdom Hearts..."

"I see... whats the plan?"

"We dont need Kuma this time, but now we haf to target on one of his friends. We force that person to help us..."

 

 

"Where are we heading?" Gake asked from Shabon. She was controlling his keyblade gllider while being in lanes between.

"Anywhere, where Kuma is!" Shabon answered. Then something flied through them. It looked like giant spider. It was Umbras keyblade glider.

"Hello suckers!" Umbra shouted.

"What are you doing here?" Gake shouted.

"I just wanted to send you a message from my mom. Meet her at Fiendish forest in five minutes with Kuma or she will destroy everything!" Umbra shouted and charged to different way and dissappeared to horizon.

"In five minutes? What are we gonna do?" Gake saked.

"We go there and stop Crace. I always though she should invite us for a little picnic..." Shabon said and charged toward Fiendish Forests.

[replika13 455]

CHAPTER THIRTEEN

 

 

Meeting wit Crace

 

 

Gake and Shabon runned to big area of forest. There they saw Crace, standing and looking to mountains.

"You have arrived? Without my little boy?" Crace asked without turning to them.

"He may be your son, but we dont give him up for you because we know you have evil purpose for him!" Shabon shouted.

Crace turned her amused face to them.

"Hmhmhm... you probably think i dont have better things to do now? Like spreading xioblivians to other worlds, perhaps?"

"What?" Shabon shouted.

"I knew it! Xioblivians appeared because of you!" Gake shouted. Crace smiled a bit more and summoned different kinds of xioblivians to behind her back.

"They are my marvelous offsprings... just like Kuma and Umbra... these monsters spreads darkness around without noticing... soon everyone will lose their hopes and dreams... causing THEM to grow bigger and replicating... such a brilliant specie! And yet, i can use them to do much more..." Crace said, rised her hand and all xioblivians turned to smoke and gathered above Craces hand, turning into fireball.

Shabon saw how it started to shine more and more...

http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfzcUihynpo

 

"Down!" She screamed and pushed Gake to ground. Fireball exploded with huge strength. For a second, everything was smoky, then Gake saw flames, surrounding area. Crace just lighted an forest fire.

"Shabon? Where are you?" Gake shouted.

"Im all right..." Shabon said and turned back to herself from the mouse.

"Oh no!" She shouted and pointed to Crace who runned to forests.

"We must stop her!" Gake shouted and runned after her.

"No! Wait Gake!" Shabon shouted and tried to run after him, but giant tree felled to her way. She knew that Crace was important, but what about Village of Thievs? They were in danger! Shabon runned to opposite direction and left Gake on his own.

 

 

"Stop right there!" Gake shouted to Crace, who then finally stopped.

"Your still alive?" Crace laughed and summoned her keyblade.

"Im not afraid of you witch!" Gake shouted and summoned his own keyblade. He dashed toward Crace, who teleported just before strike. Gake knew she was behind him, so he whirled around, hitting woman to stomach.

Crace felled back, but quickly stood up and managed to strike Gake with ten-hit-attack. Gake wasnt even tuired of that. He smiled and used his spirit formation: bear. Gake-bear attacked to Crace, who looked a bit terryfied and jumped away, dodging Gakes attacks.

Crace jumped to Gakes back and stabbed his sprit form with her keyblade. Gake roared and turned back to himself, but he was still strong enough to continue.

"Give up aleady... or i will kill you to death!" Crace said. She was a bit tired, but it didnt matter. Gake just smiled back.

"You really think im going to obey you? What a joke!" He shouted and attacked.

 

 

"Shabon! There you are! Our village is on fire!" Liale screamed, when Shabon runned to village.

"I´ll handle it!" Shabon shouted. Then she saw how fire gathered to one of towers and created an face of monster to it. Fire was xioblivian! Shabon looked shocked for a second, but then she rised her keyblade for attack.

"Blizzard!" She casted and crystal-like freezing light flied to xioblivians face.

"Grrrraaaaaaarhh!" Xioblivian roared and created nine fire tentacles. it tried to hit Shabon with them, but Shabon dodged first and second easily by crawling. Next one was harder to dodge as it came right from the air. Shabon rolled away, before it hitted ground.

Because of tentacles monster was hard to reach...

Shabon dissummoned her keyblade and used spirit formation... She turned to siren. An floating mermaid like spirit. Her hair was red and her clothes turned to her tail and shells. She used her special ability: Tsuname.

She started to sing and whirl. bubbles appeared and formed an water whirl which growed ,more and more. Thyen Shabon flied above it and made whirl broke, causing an giant splash to suffuse around the area. Xioblivian was gone. So were the flames too.

 

 

Forest was starting to cool too. fire vanished and there was just black smoke around places.

"Okay! You failed big time!" Gake said and Crace just smiled.

"Now that you are powerless and tired... we may talk about your next mission." Crace said.

"What mission? Im not gonna help you whatever it is!" Gake shouted. Crace snapped her fingers and Umbra-wolf appeared, carrying tied and gagged Choku at a spell.

"Choku!" Gake yelled.

"Monsters! Let my brother go!"

"A,a,aaaa! Remember what i said. You have a little favor to do to me." Crace smiled.

Gake looked Craces smile and Chokus terryfied eyes. Crace was capable to do tests to two year old Kuma and Umbra... so there was possibility to her to kill eight year old Choku as well...

Gake went to his knees.

"I do whatever you say! Just let Choku go!" He said.

"After you have fulfilled your task..." Crace said.

"I dont like cheaters you see.."

"Whats the task?" Gake asked and stood up. Crace smiled evily.

"There is four seals of Merian the Ancient... i want you to break them."

"Why dont you do it yourself?"

"You dare to question me?" Crace shouted. Gake stared to her, nodded and soon used his keyblade glider to get back to Lanes Between. He must do this!

[Hunter Hawk 392]

Poor Choku man, I gonna kick that woman's ass BIG TIME!!!!!!

CHAPTER FOURTEEN

 

 

Running away

 

Kuma and Diana were hiding behind one huge tree. Men who attacked Nile were also searching them and there was more of them too than those five.

Rian was dangerous man. Good fighter and fearsome leader. Worst of all he was Niles arch nemesis. An monster hunter with no remorse or good will in his heart. His men obeyed him, cause they were scared to go against him.

"Is there any of them?" Diana asked and Kumaclimbed to behind one of trees giant roots and looked a bit behind it.

"There is three guys in this side." Kuma said and quickly climbed back.

Suddenly Diana rolled away from her place, when sword flied through air and got stucked to place, where Dianas head was just seconds ago.

"There they are!" One of men shouted. Other men runned to there too and soon Kuma and Diana were surrounded.

"Can you use spirit formation?" Diana whispered.

"Yeah." Kuma answered.

"Any flying ones?"

"Yeah, two." Kuma said.

"Use one of them and save yourself." Diana said.

"What!" Kuma shouted.

"I can take care of these and i dont wanna you to get hurt."

"But..."

"DO IT BOY!" Diana shouted to Kumas ear. Kuma had no other choice. there were too many of enemies. He used his smallest flying spirit that he shared with Shabon, hawk. It was perfect way to avoid attacks while escaping.

He turned to hawk and dashed to air.

"He is escaping!" One man shouted and tried to throw his sword to Kuma, but Kuma managed to dodge it. He flied at top of swamp trees, so no one could target on him with bows or shooting weapons.

Diana smiled and was ready to encounter her enemies.

 

 

Kuma landed to branch of tree and turned back to himself. He was sure to be safe right now.

He wasnt sure how long is he gonna survive by himself, but was sure that he cant return home or travel to other worlds, cause he cant form Spirit windows nor use keyblade armors. He was trapped.

Suddenly DayFaders started to appear.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqHNQwn4vek

"What a-?" He quickly summoned his keyblade and started fighting with those monsters. If DayFaders were here, surely keyhole of world and sun was close too. But DayFaders just keep up coming and Kuma was getting tired from each fifteen DayFader he defeated.

He jumped down to ground, but there alligators started to attack him. He had to climb back to tree. But there DayFaders started another attack. He striked them, used his cat and phoenix spirits and their special powers like "spell-broke song and fire-tornado", he casted magic and used all his energy to drive monsters away, but they didnt seem to go anywhere.

"Enough all ready!" Kuma shouted.

"Need some help?" Someone asked and started shooting monsters down. Kuma saw man with grey uniform and belt full of self-packing weapons.

"Thanks." Kuma said, but then man took net-gun and tried to catch him. Kuma jumped down and started running. He didnt understand why man was helping him and then trying to capture him.

"Hold it boy!" Man said and shooted another net, which Kuma cutted to half with keyblade.

"Thats it kiddo! Your going down!" Man shouted and took an laser-gun to his hands. He started shooting glowing blue ammos towards Kuma. Kuma managed to dodge each one with really fast move. He smiled a bit and activated his shoes, speed-mode allowing him to run faster.

"Bye!" He shouted to man and waved his hand while looking Greins suprised face.

Crace was looking out of window. He wasnt bothered by noices Choku made, when attempting to escape from chair, where Umbra tied him. She was wondering. She remember those flames, she made to forest... but they were different... Richy and Umbra, trying to escape. She herself runned after them and burned the house on the way. She fought her husband until he was dead during the battle. Umbra was crying alot and why not? He was just a baby back then...

"Mom." Umbra said when coming in to hall.

"What is it now dear?" Crace asked.

"Those DayFaders... they are getting to our way."

"What? I asked you to get rid of them didnt i?" Crace shouted.

"Yes, but they just keep coming back like xioblivians." Umbra said.

"I see... we must find their origins then... and destroy it. Meanwhile, you take care of this little brat."

"What!"

"You heard me... dispose him and quickly!" Crace said and pointed Choku, who looked even more terryfied.

"But... Gake... he obeys you!"

"No matter... he haf to pay the price of intefiering with my plans at past. He will pay for not giving up Kuma to me..." Crace said coldly and walked stairs down and when walking past Umbra, she putted her hand to boys shoulder.

"Do it!" She whispered and walked to outside from doors.

Umbra looked shocked and watched to Chokus eyes. He cant disobey his mother, but he didnt wanna kill an innocent child...

What should him do now...

[Hunter Hawk 392]

Yay!!! Kuma turned into a hawk!!!! Great chapter man!!!

Gake disarmored and continued his way by walking. World called Mystic Froze was snowy place. There was really gold too and all sorts of arctic plants showed up as he kept walking from forest to canyon like path between two icy mountains. He stepped to canyon and when he was walking he felt something felled to his hair. It wasnt just snow that rains from the sky. It was snowball. Gake turned his face up and quickly jumped forward, when giant iceball felled down to canyon. Gake stood up from ground and looked up. There was really short peoples above him at edge of mountain. They started to throw snowballs at him. Guardians of Merians seal.

Gake summoned his keyblade, but then he felt ground shaking and saw giant dragon-like DayFader flewing from nowhere and it hitted giant iceball by its tail. Ball started to roll toward Gake and boy then knew he should run, before it crusehes him.

However, as those figures at mountain shooted snowballs to him and DayFaders appeared to his way, it was really hard to escape from iceball. Then Gake saw an gave and quickly rolled inside it, just before iceball was going to crush him.

"Spark!" He casted, lighting an little flare of light to his keyblade. He walked down the blue deeply frosted tunnels and tried to not slip down. Minutes later tunnel ended and he walked to giant gave. Gaves walls were covered by statues of woman with keyblade in her hand.

He crossed an small bridge and walked toward red glowing sphere that looked like an spirit altar.

"You have found one of seals of ancients." Echoing voice said and Gake quickly turned around, but didnt see anyone there. He turned his face to huge statue in front of him. Statues eyes glowed red light.

"You are...Merian the ancient?" He asked and dissummoned his keyblade.

"Not quite... i am Merian the guardian. I protect these seals from evil purposes." Merian the guardian said and its eyes plinked each time she talked.

"Step to the seal young man. And we will see if you can testify your heart..." Gake did as statue told him to and stepped into seal. Nothing interesting happened except seal started to glow stronger.

"You are young indeed. Dreams and adventures ahead and behind... But your reasons..."

"I know... i was forced to come here..." Gake said.

"You wanna save one who matters you more than anything right now. Your only family thats left. But tell me... are you sure you get him back if you do open all four seals?"

"What do you...?" Gake then realised it. Crace might not keep her promise to him. They were sworn enemies... But still...

"Do you wanna testify your heart now?" Merian the guardian asked and Gake hesitated a little.

"Yes. Im ready to testify!" He said.

"Remember... all four tests are hard. Each one gets harder and harder and if you fail you might lose yourself to darkness..."

"Im ready! Testify me oh guardian of holy Merian." Gake said and closed his eyes.

"This test will test your desires and what you are ready to lose from them..."

"Lose..." Gake though his deepest desires. Getting title of keyblade master... being with Kuma and Shabon again... Destroying Craces power... This wasnt easy one but he had to choose... he would risk his desire of destroying Carces power... woman might be his enemy, but she was also Kumas mother. Kuma wouldnt forgive him if Gake would destroy her.

"Done..." He said and felt like his heart would be now lighter than it was before.

"You have passed... but dont ever retrieve that desire... fate is always same from the moment you step into seals..." Merian the guardian said and an giant keyhole appeared to wall in front of altar. Gake summoned keyblade and unlocked the keyhole. One unlocked, three more to go.

 

 

Shabon was travelliing to Hills Under The Sky. She looked amazed by those flying mechanical things.

"Whoaaa!" She sighed and choosed to walk into town. Everything looked so decorated. Like there is gonna be a party or something.

"Excuse me?" Shabon asked from two person who were looking grumpy.

"What do you want?" Boy asked.

"Sorry. I was just wondering, what are those things?" She said and pointed to flying objects.

"Why those are flying machines, created by those annoying idiots." Girl said and looked disgusted.

"Really? What idiots?"

"Aer, Flit, Widh and Clouth of course. Since their little air show, they´ve been building tens of those things for everyone who has enough munny to buy one."

"Sounds nice..." Shabon said.

"No! That isnt nice! Those things are dangerous! We wanna stop them before its too late." Boy said.

"Too late for what?"

"All machines will crash to each others!"

"Horrible! What should we do?" Shabon asked and boy smiled weirdly.

"You wanna help us?"

"Sure. Im here to defend peoples from harm." Shabon said. boy started to whisper something for the girl and together they nodded and girl said.

"Go to their hall and steal all of their blueprints. Without them, they have no way to buld anymore of these dangerous machines!"

"Okay!" Shabon nodded and runned away.

"Sucker..." Boy whispered and girl started laughing.

 

 

 

Zenerith was exhausted from rebuilding. That woman was too dangerous for him. He however had better idea. There was still that weird blade of that boy. If he just could get it back from ruins of laboratory, he could use it to fullfil his testings. However, he need everyone to gather to the fountain and he needed to get rid of that pesky Master Ronwae.

"Hey! Mr Zenerith sir?" Young boy yelled to him. Boys name was Glodne, he was young son of Ronwae and he was always on Zeneriths way.

"Ah! Masters marvelous little boy! How may i help you?" Zenerith asked and pretended to be friendly.

"You promised to show me my birthday gift. It is tomorrow you know. You promised to be first one to give me a gift." Boy smiled. Blasted! He was about to forget that stupid thing...unless...

"Can you retrieve an item from basements boy? For a favor?"

"Sure."

"There is this giant...eh...key... to my... my... secret vault. Yes! Could you go get it for me and meet me at fountains at sunset okay?" He said.

"Giant key?" Glodne repeated.

"Yes. It is really special key. I think it should be light enough for you to carry it. Dont tell to your father. Its an suprise..." Zenerith whispered.

"Roger that!" Glodne nodded and runned down to stairs. Zenerith smiled. Boy was going to get most interesting birthdays ever...

CHAPTER SIXTEEN

 

 

KEYHOLE TO DAWN

 

 

Kuma heard an weird noice. It was nothing that reminded him about swamp. He opened his eyes and looked around.

"What?" He stood up and looked dark forest around him. It wasnt Niles and Dianas home world anymore... but how come. Forest trees were much more normal sized and ground was cleaner and there wasnt any water or wild animals there. Where was he.

Suddenly someone jumped on him behind. He felt how two hands took strong grasp from his wrists. He tried to see who it was, but his eyes were covered by black smelly piece of cloth.

"Who are you? What are you doing to me?" He shouted and felt how that someone or possibly someones dragged him through forest.

Many minutes later he was pushed to ground. He removed cloth from his eyes and saw many people surrounding him.

"Who are you intruder?" An big man asked from him.

"I...im Kuma." Kuma answered and tried to be brave.

Man looked at him and started laughing and so did everyone else too.

"Whats so funny?" Kuma asked.

"We expected an dangerous spy or something, but this? An child?"

"Whats going on here dad?" An girl asked and walked to growd.

"We just catched an kid, running at forest." Man answered. Girl watched Kuma and looked interested about his outfit and hair.

"Your...Kuma right?" Girl asked.

"How do you know my name?" Kuma asked.

"Dad, Shabon told me to not cause harm for this boy." Girl said and man started to send peoples away around them.

"You know Shabon?"

"Yes. She saved me while ago. And then she saved our village moments ago. Im Liale by the way. This is my father, great king of thievs, Fiedros." Liale said.

"Ummm... nice to meet you..." Kuma stuttered.

"We need your help. Do you carry that blade too?"

"Yes."

"Follow me."

 

 

 

Gake walked inside Maliceous Caverns. An dark place. Perfect place for Xioblivians to lure him. He felt seal of Merian the Ancient nearby. He walked up an huge stairs and then saw light above him. There it was, Merian the Guardian with another seal and punch of her statues surrounding the chamber.

"Im here again." He said and walked to seal.

"Your heart is determined. Your will is stronger. Tell me... are you fighting against yourself?" Merian asked.

"What?"

"You dont wanna do this Gake. But yet again you push yourself inside another seal to testify your heart and make promise... You dont seem to be feared that if you brake any of those promises, you will loose yourself to darkness... You are nothing than those that appeared here during past..."

"I know... but thats the thing... we all are different in way or another... we cant be someone else that lives or has lived." Gake said.

"Great words boy..." Merian said.

"Testify me! Im ready." Gake said and took deep breath. Seal started to glow again.

"Second test is test of memories... You haf to remember absolutely farthest past memory you have. If you lie or remember something else, your memory will be erased as you cant trust to it."

Gake closed his eyes and let memories to whirl around his mind. What was farthest thing he had... He met Kuma when he was 4 years old... but there was more... Mothers face somewhere even farther. He never though she was so beautyful...

"Done!" Gake said and opened his eyes. Merian was silent for a second as Gake tried to memorize his memory.

"You have passed. Your mother was really kind and caring person with strong light in her heart... You may now trust to your memory. Never forget that one cause now its another promise." Keyhole appeared again and Gake rised his keyblade.

 

 

Shabon looked around again. This world was silent. She saw no signs of life anywhere. She walked toward lake that was completely calm. Trees were sad looking and there wasnt even an wind to breeze her hair.

"Wind is sign of life... if there is no wind, there is no true heart..." Shabon said, repeating Kumas line that boy made up when he was 8 years old. Kuma and Gake wer both gone... and that man... Nile was somehow in this too. Suddenly she felt giant breeze going across air and blowing her hair to her eyes. She turned around and sawed an man, being on his knees. He was hurt.

"Are you all right?" Shabon asked and wlked to man. Shabon didnt saw his face fully, but saw an disturbing smile on mans face. Suddenly an dark aura surrounded him.

"Never better... HAH!" He tried to strike Shabon with keyblade, but Shabon jumped farther. Mans hat felled to ground and Shabon was shocked to see some sorta older version of Gake in front of him. She realised who this guy was.

"You are Nile arent you?" Shabon asked and summoned her keyblade. Man glared at her scaryly and smiled at same time. He looked like an psychopath from Shabons most horrified nightmares.

"I... am...me..." Man said and his eyes turned to yellow. He was surrounded by darkness. Suddenly Spirit window opened and many other men appeared from it and started attacking Nile, who ragefully and with no mercy striked them away with extremely strong hits.

"Surrender Nile! Wasnt my arrow enough for you?" Rian shouted.

Then Shabon noticed an arrow at Niles back. It went straight to his heart. Maybe Niles darkness freed from his body in process...

Shabon tried to grab arrow, but Nile felt her and quickly striked her away. He was too fast.

"I...AM...Meee...!" Nile shouted and darkness suffuced around him, summoning DayFaders from it. Huge and strong DayFaders.

"Nile! I tell you to stop this right now!" Shbon shouted but Nile keeped hitting enemies and summoning DayFaders.

"GAKE!" Shabon shouted and Nile immediatly freezed with strange look on his face. Darkness and DayFaders dissappeared from around him. Nile slowly closed his eyes and felled to ground and his keyblade vanished. Shabon runned to him and Rian walked there too.

"Get out of way! Ive been looking forward to this!" Rian said, but Shabon casted an fire spell to his eyes and man started to squirm in the ground.

Suddenly an keyhole opened next to Niles head. Glowing keyhole...

"Whats this?" Shabon asked and looked closer. Master told her to seal every keyhole that would appear to her way. She rised her keyblade and sealed the keyhole of world and sun and took Nile to his hands. He needed to take him to master...

CHAPTER SEVENTEEN

 

 

EMOTIONS

 

 

"There you see?" Liale said and pointed to cavern with large piles of gold and jewels. There was DayFaders that were trying to move most giant pile away, making coins and jewels flying around cavern.

"You want me to get rid of theose? Easy cake!" Kuma said, summoned keyblade and runned to chamber. DayFaders turned to him and flyed away.

"What? Giving up? Com on!" He shouted, but then something floated from roof. DayFader that looked like giant rainbow colored gem.

"Huh? That wasnt quite what i meant, but i´ll take it!" Kuma said and jumped to attack. His keyblade however wasnt strong enough to hurt DayFaders hard skin. Kuma flied back to ground, but stood up quickly and casted an thunder. That was bad idea, cause now thunder reflected from DayFader and started to multiply until cavern was full of electric waves.

"Kuma!" Liale throwed something to Kuma. Kuma catched it and looked it. It looked like an amulet... he putted it around his neck and felt how his spirits became stronger. He used cat-form and amulet powered up his strength. Kuma started Meow-cry named attack. Cat-Kumas voice was so loud that it caused giant rocks to detach from the roof and when they hitted DayFader its skin became shattered. Kuma turned back and used energy-body (an orange aura surrounding him) and jumped really high and used strong dash toward middle of DayFaders head. It shattered and blowed up to pieces that slowly faded away into dark flames.

"That was easy." Kuma said.

"Look!" Liale shouted and pointed to wall. There was another keyhole of world and sun. It was hided behind that giant pile of gold all this time and now it was fully visible. Kuma walked to it and sealed it away.

 

 

Hooded person walked through dark forest until he saw an cabin. He entered it and took hood off, revealing himself to be Umbra. He throwed cloth away and then walked to another room, where was iron door. He unlocked it by normal key as his keyblade refused to return to his hands.

He opened door and looked to Choku, whos hands were chained to wall. Little boy looked extremely sad and ill. Umbra didnt wanna kill him, so he had to hide him away from his mother or they both would be in worse trouble.

"Did you have good night?" Umbra asked without smiling.

"No!" Choku shouted to him.

"Look, you should be greatful that i let you live. This is only way to keep you away from my mothers eyes." Umbra tried to explain.

"I dont feel good... im freezing and my head feels dizzy..." Choku said. Umbra stood up and turned around to get some food for boy.

"Dont leave me!" Choku shouted.

"You think im that pathetic?" Umbra asked.

"Please... i wanna go home... Gake must be missing me!" Boy cried, but Umbra didnt see anything bad at them.

"You cant! Shut up and wait a sec. I make you some breakfast." Umbra said and locked the door. He was already tired to here Chokus crying and shouting, but he didnt wanna leave boy starving. That felt pathetic thing to do... if only he would have his keyblade. He could use keyblade glider without his keyblade due his abilities and skills, but still... wielder without an keyblade was same as universe without darkness... totally pointless...

 

 

"This time, seal will testify love in your heart..." Merian the guardian said when Gake walked to third seal.

"Love? But i havent met anyone that special yet..." Gake said.

"Yes you have... two of them... but which one you choose?"

"Two? Are you serious?" Gake asked but Merian didnt answer.

"All right... testify me..." He sighed and closed his eyes.

Two figures appeared to him... Girl with green hair and woman with name of... Khanysa? But how did he know them... he never met them but still it felt like he have.

Khanysa or other one?

"Done." Gake said.

"You chose well young man..." Merian the Guardian said.

"Never let that chose go to waist. You haf to face that person and open your heart to her..." keyhole appeared and Gake unlocked it again. When he was about to leave, Merian stopped him.

"Say, why are you so confused? Is it that... there is someone else with completely same heart?"

[Hunter Hawk 392]

Awww how sweet of Umbra! I had no idea that he actually had any great things in himself. Come on! Stop listening your crazy mother and save poor Choku!

CHAPTER EIGHTEEN

 

 

LAST TEST

 

Shabon putted Nile to her bed, then she mixed some potion and putted it to table and pushed table against bed in case that Nile would woke up. Then she closed the door and runned to great hall, where Master Magma was still on his pyjamas and was eating breakfast. He looked shocked to see Shabon and started to cough as he had sandwich on his mouth.

"Shabon? Why are you back so soon? Did you find Kuma?" Magma asked.

"No, but i did find someone very interesting..." Shabon said and pointed to girls corridors. Magma followed her through the corridors to her room, where he was shocked to see Nile, lying on Shabons bed.

"Is... is this it? DayFader?" Magma asked and Shabon nodded.

"He appeared to dead world, then those men started to attack him and shooted an arrow through his heart, causing his darkness to flood around him..." Shabon said.

"Heart? Are you serious? These things dont have hearts... if they would have, we would refer them as person, not creature..." Magma said and turned around.

"Master?"

"What is it?"

"If they dont have a hearts, but do have a feelings and memories... would they still be persons right?" Shabon asked but Magma was quiet.

"Maybe...its time for you to meet Synthia..." Magma said and walked away. Shabon turned back to Nile and looked him as he would be Gake, whos unconscious. Then she nodded and opened an Spirit window.

 

 

Kuma walked at Hills Under The Sky. He saw an town nearby, but didnt much like what he saw. Huge flying mechanical thing was destroying the town. An girl runned toward him and Kuma stopped him.

"Whats happening here?" He asked.

"Those... Herd and Kirt. They have somehow managed to build that flying machine. They are using it to destroy this world." Girl shouted.

"Really? Let me handle them!" Kuma shouted and runned toward village. Flying machine was huge and dark purple. Its bottom was filled with cannons and strange looking poles. It had eight wings and huge propel at behind it. Whole ship was covered by darkness. Kuma could see xioblivians symbol at its roof.

Kuma used his spirit formation, turned to Phoenix and flied toward flying machine. He loaded an energy beam and shooted it to machines wall. It was really small. Kuma changed from Phoenix to Hawk and flied inside from hole and turned back to himself. Machine was filled with robot like xioblivians. They were standing still like an army.

Kuma tried to sneak past them to stairs, but suddenly they started shooting on him. Each and everyone of them. Millions of laser beams flied toward Kuma and Kuma was able to dodge them and block them, but there were still too many of them. His elbow suddenly pushed through small glass box and started bleeding.

"Owww..." He said and suddenly he saw that door was closing. He quickly used his speed-mode and charged toward door. His elbow hitted an red button back there, which probably caused doors to shut. He quickly rolled under the door, just before it closed.

He was at control room. Only place where was lots of windows in the ship. Kirt and Herd looked to him and Kuma saw darkness surrounding them both.

"So... this is how peoples resist us? Sending an brat to our ship?" Herd laughed, but Kirt noticed Kumas keyblade.

"That weapon... tell me, are you like those other two?" She asked.

"What? Other too?" Kuma stuttered.

"If you give up that keyblade to us, then we will spare this town. See this button?" Herd asked and pointed an button at control table.

"This button will detonate this ship in 10 seconds. We are at middle of town, so everything will be destroyed..."

"Monsters..." Kuma whispered and putted his keyblade in front of his face, pointing to roof by it.

"This keyblade isnt toy for bad guys like yourself... this is the key to light darkness of worlds!" Kuma shouted and throwed it to control table. Keyblade cutted it from the middle, making all buttons useless. Twins looked horryfied.

"Thats it kiddo..." They both said and darkness grew stronger, making an giant dark aura around them.

"You haf to face our anger and we will send you... to ETERNITY!"

"If you can kill me before i hit you that is." Kuma smiled.

 

 

Gake looked up to last seal. This is it. Seal to free Choku, but make Crace win... If he brokes the seal his brother will live, but Crace would make up her evil plan. If he dont seal it, Crace will lose, but Choku will die... He haf to do this.

Gake walked to seal. And Merians eyes started glowing.

"Determination and sadness... You wonder if you do right thing?" Merian the guardian asked.

"What do you think?"

"Me? This is first time warrior asks my opinion." Merian said and Gake smiled to statue.

"I think you do right thing by saving your brother... but i can see now that your future is misty... Are you sure you can keep all those past promises for me? Sacred promises? Are you sure your not fearing to succuming into darkness?"

"Testify me..." Gake said.

"I guess you are..." Merian said and Gake closed his eyes.

"This last test will test your fears. You haf to remind yourself about most worse moments of your life and try to win them." Gake thinked harder...

 

 

He then opened his eyes as there was nothiong in his mind. Then he saw that he was drifting at darkness. He then heard voices behind him.

"Your pathetic son!" Someone shouted and Gake turned around.

"Father?" He saw himself as 4 years old. His father was standing in front of his child-self.

"Is that what you call strength?" Father laughed to him. Gake remembered this was those times, when his father tried to train him secretly. It all ended up, when Gake started crying. That was horrible.

Then he heard voices behind him. He turned around and saw 4 year old version of Kuma, walking to forest with another boy with black hair. This was first time They both met Umbra. Gake had feeling from very beginning that Umbra was no good.

"Gake..." magma appeared to behind him. Gake felt his hand at his shoulder.

"Master?"

"Im sorry to tell you this... your parents... they are dead."

"I know they are dead!" Gake shouted to him. Suddenly all his fears turned to shadows and they sucked together and turned shape to his keyblade armor with xioblivian symbol on forehead.

"Pathetic... Help me... dead... Pathetic..." Voice was echoing through his mind. Gake started to shed small tears and he summoned his keyblade.

"MAKE IT STOP!!!!" He screamed and attacked his armor. Armor went to its knees and dissappeared. Whole darkness around him broked apart like an glass dome, revealing seal room behind it.

"You have passed. Many warriors have gone insane at this point..." Merian said.

"Tell me what you saw?"

"I saw... myself... as an empty and dark creture... Under Craces command... that is my highest fear..."Gake said. Keyhole appeared and Gake unlocked it.

"I do hope we will meet again..." Merian said.

"Who knows... my future is misty after all..." Gake smiled a bit.

[Hunter Hawk 392]

Wow what a great chapter! I never had known Gake had such a dark past.

[replika13 455]

CHAPTER NINETEEN

 

 

SYNTHIA

 

 

Shabon jumped out from Spirit Window and saw an misty valley down from the mountains he was. There was growing bamboo all over and big craceful trees with green grass on the ground. It was so magical world. Shabon saw sun, but didnt see blue sky, but starry black sky. She saw temple at top of mountain and climbed up.

When she was finally at temple, she climbed another pile of stairs to big square shaped room. There was bookcases, working table, throne, bed and pile of magical items like crystalball, wands and potions. There was an carpet, where an old woman was meditating. Shabon didnt wanna distract her, so she went to window and looked the wiev.

"Excuse me?" An boys voice asked. Shabon turned around and saw an small boy in age of 6 or 7. He had blond spiky hair and deep green eyes.

"Why hello. Im Shabon. Who are you?" Shabon asked.

"Me? Im Ken. I just wanted to ask you to move away from window. You are interfiering masters magic." Ken said and Shabon moved away from window.

"Master? You mean your keyblade apprentice?"

"Yup. Master Synthia is best teacher of all. She doesnt yell to me, but i sometimes wish that i could go home and play with my friends." Ken said, but smiled.

"Good to see you Shabon." Synthia said and opened her eyes slowly and she floated higher and revised her feets to straight position and landed to floor as she now standed up. She walked to her throne and sit down.

"Magma already told me you would arrive here." She said.

"Master. I think i learned my thirteenth move." Ken said and summoned his keyblade. Shabon looked how pure and awesome Kens keyblade looked.

"Not now Ken."

"Synthia? I didnt know its possible to let little childs to take apprenticeship." Shabon said.

"Magma believes that children must spend their childhood and pure hearts first and then take apprenticeship, but im different. Ken here has strong heart. Children can be exceptionally strong, if you teach them rightfully. But lets not go to that. There is something concerning your mind... am i right?"

"Yes. I lost both my friends and i dont know where they are! Please help me Synthia." Shabon said.

Synthia summoned an crystalball to her table and Shabon saw nothing else than stars reflection from it. Ken looked extremely interested too.

"I see Kuma... wondering at world that was destroyed long ago... I see Gake at forest where his brother is hidden... I see... darkness, covering hearts of many peoples in one of worlds...I see Crace, who summons something huge... heart..." Then crystalball went completely empty.

"Dont trust on these so much Shabon. These might have been happened or they might happen in future. There is small possibility that they happen at today..."

"Tell me where Gake is. Im going to help him." Shabon said.

"I wanna help too!" Ken said.

"No. your too youn..."

"Accepted. Ken, go and help Shabon." Synthia said and Shbon looked suprised.

 

 

 

Gake disarmored and walked into Black Manor. He pushed doors away and didnt stop walking until he was at Craces throne room. Crace was staring out of window and Gake saw it was starting to rain outside.

"I did what you told me to do! Now let my brother go!" Gake shouted. Crace turned around and Gake saw evil grin at her face.

"Im sorry... but we didnt talk about your past crimes against me." Crace said.

"Huh? What? WHAT DO YOU MEAN!!!!" Gake shouted.

"Your brother met his end sometime ago. Umbra finished him." Crace said so loudly that Gake would hear her better.

"But...but...but..." Gakes feets tumbled down, making him to fall on his knees. He tried not to show sadness and rage that he felt to Crace, but he still shed tears.

"Whats this? Strong shell is about to shatter?" Crace smiled and started laughing.

"You...you told me... that if... if i unlock those seals... you would spare my brother..." Gake cried.

"You had no choice but to help me... Choku would have met his end anyways."

"Why do you like hurting peoples...CRACE?" Gake asked and dark aura started to surround him. His pupils turned much smaller and his hair started to defy gravity as they floated higher.

Umbra then walked to room and Gake summoned his keyblade.

"Maybe..." Gake dissappeared and appeared behind Umbra and holded sharpest point of keyblade at boys neck.

"I HURT YOU!!!" Gake laughed and looked crazy. Umbra was shocked a bit. So was Crace.

"Come on Crace! I TESTIFY YOU! YOU KILLED MY BROTHER! I KILL YOUR SON! Mhahahaahaaa!" Gake laughed.

" Lets see how you handle that pain Crace... lets see how much are you gonna cry!"

"Dont do it Gake..." Umbra whispered.

"Why wouldnt i?"

"I hided your brother. I can take you to him if you dont do anything stupid." Umbra said and Gakes smile started to fade and dark aura around him faded away. Crace looked suprised. Umbra opened dark corridor below him and Gake and they both falled to it.

"Umbra!" Crace yelled and tried to jump on them, but missed as corridor faded.

 

 

Kirt and Herd were tired. They both closed their eyes and xioblivians started to jump on them.

"No!" Kuma shouted but then ship started to explode. He quickly runned toward window and jumped through it, making glass broke. Ship floated higher to sky and exploded. Kuma falled down toward hills, but then suddenly glowing light surrounded him. He felt himself really tired suddenly and he closed his eyes.

[Hunter Hawk 392]

OMG!!!! What is going to happen? I beg you!!! Please tell me what is going to happen!!!

CHAPTER TWENTY

 

 

CHOKU

 

 

"You almost felled to darkness back there." Umbra said quietly as he walked in front of Gake. Gake had his keyblade summoned in case boy tries to trick him.

"Yeah?" Gake asked.

"Dont you think darkness isnt your stuff? That it isnt for you?"

"Are you saying im weak?"

"Yes. You are too weak and stupid to control darkness. Even when it is your own." Umbra said and suddenly turned to bushes. Gake followed him.

Umbra stopped and stared to door of cabin. It was opened.

"What a?" He quickly runned inside cabin and saw that it was trashed. All those small amount of furnitures were broken, smashed against walls and window was smashed up. Even Umbras secret card collection was throwed around the rooms. Umbra saw that iron door was open and Choku was gone. But so was chains in the wall too.

"This is your cabin? Nice... now where is Choku?" Gake shouted.

"He is... gone!" Umbra shouted.

"Why should i believe in you? Soon you are going to summon xioblivians to attack me while you yourself are running away from me." Gake said.

"Shut up fool! You dont understand how i felt when mother commanded me to kill him! I hided him right here!" Umbra yelled back and pointed to empty room, where Choku was suppose to be.

Suddenly DayFaders started to jump through windows. They quickly nailed Umbra against wall and Gake against table.

 

 

"Let me go!" Choku shouted to boy who was carrying him deeper to forests.

"Shut up or i kill you here and now!" Boy answered.

"Please!"

"I SAID SHUT UP!" Boy shouted and throwed Choku to ground. He walked to boy and kicked him to stomach.

"When I say you shut up, then you DO shut up okay?!"

Choku cried but nodded. Boy appeared to cabin moments ago with those monsters. When he saw Choku, he first tooked chains from walls, but then tied Chokus hands together by them. Boy then tooked him outside and started to take him deeper to forest. But why? Why did everyone wanted to hurt him? Choku was too powerless to shout for help or struggle against boys strength.

 

 

 

Shabon and Ken saw small cabin nearby. But when hearing all those noices, they stormed in and found Gake and Umbra being attacked by DayFaders.

"Freeze!" Shabon casted and caused freezing wind to carry monsters away from boys.

Ken then rised his keyblade and started humming something strange music. His keyblade started throwing spells and making attacks as they would have been part of dance. DayFaders faded away one by one.

"What was that?" Shabon asked.

"That? It was Enchanted Symbhony, my most powerful and awesomnest move." Ken said and smiled to Shabons suprised face.

"My master never teaches me so cool stuff as that one..." Shabon said. She was kinda annoyed that someone who was 11 years younger than she, knows such an awesome move.

"Ahem! Im still here!" Gake shouted. Umbra suddenly jumped out of window.

"Hey!" Gake jumped after him. Shabon and Ken runned out from door and followed them to forest.

"Should i stop him?" Ken asked.

"No. Umbra has something on his mind, but i sense its nothing evil this time." Shabon said.

 

 

"Look at the sunset. Its last thing you see..." Charl said and placed Choku to rock at top of mountain. Choku tried to struggle, but was still too weak and sick to do anything but cry.

"Why...why do you wanna kill me? I never did anything to you..." He said.

"You did... they all did! Every child in world will pay!" Charl shouted and remembered his encountering with Kuma and Nile. He was so fool to think that he could win teenager boy so easily. Choku was smaller and annoyingly same kind like Kuma. It was so ragefully annoying. He rised his hockey stick and prepared to strike Choku with it, but suddenly he was throwen away by dark ray.

"Dont do anything to him!" Umbra shouted. Charl watched to Umbra and saw Kuma in him. Umbra looked like Kuma.

"You..." He whispered.

"Your crazy kid! You cant have friends by killing them! I may not have any, but even i know that!"

"Choku!" Gake shouted and runned to his brother. He untied boys hands and Choku hugged him.

"I was so scared..." He said.

"Its okay now. We will go back home." Gake smiled and hugged back.

Charl summoned DayFaders to attack Umbra, but even when Umbra didnt wanna do anything, xioblivians appeared and jumped to boy. They started biting him and while Charl screamed, his voice weakened by every second. When xioblivians were gone, Charl lied onto ground and his face was empty. Umbra saw he was still alive, but something was different...

"He has...losed all hope in his heart..." Umbra said.

"So thats why he looks like that." Shabon said. Ken went closer and stared to Charls eyes, but Charl didnt even notice his presence.

"He dont have any dreams or desires now. He is empty from all happiness and will to go on... In other words, he thinks that everything is meaningless." Ken said.

"What a horrible fate..." Choku said.

"Gake. We need to go home. I found someone." Shabon said.

"Really? Is it Kuma?"

"No. Its Nile."

[Hunter Hawk 392]

Yay they finally saved Choku!!! Can't wait to see Gake and Nile!!!

CHAPTER TWENTY FIRST

 

 

HOLLOW

 

 

"Where...am i?" Kuma asked. He opened his eyes and immediatly noticed that he was floating through darkness.

"Huh? Gake! Shabon!" He yelled. He was scared to see all that darkness and nothingness in it.

"Your too loud..." Someone whispered. Kuma turned his face ans saw an masked person. Mask covered his eyes fully and man was carrying black jacket andpants with grey linearings. Mans hands were covered by black cloves with red fingers and blue sneakers were on his foot.

"Who... are you?" Kuma asked.

"Open your heart..." He said.

"Excuse me?"

Outfit started to vanish around him and changed to something different. In fron of him was man with DayFader symbol on his chest.

"Who are you? Answer me!"

"I, am Zenwae the Dark... leader of DayFaders and DayFader of great Zenerith... time has come." Zenwae said and floated closer to Kuma. Kuma summoned his keyblade and dashed toward man, but Zenwae vanished before strike and appeared to his right side.

"Your next... all those peoples losed themselves to darkness and now its your turn."

"What are you talking about? What did you do to those peoples?"

"I turned them to DayFaders. Their hearts belongs to nothing else than absolutest darkness of all!" Zenwae said and offered his hand to Kuma. Kuma looked at and glared to man. Man then vanished and suddenly Kuma falled to darkness.

 

 

 

"Here he is!" Shabon said and opened door to her room. She was shocked to see that girl carried Nile in her hands. Girl looked shocked too, but quickly jumped out from window, carrying Nile with her.

"Their getting away!" Magma shouted and runned toward courtyard, Shabon, Gake and Ken following him. At courtyard, girl kicked schools giant door open easily and runned to bridge, that was leading to town.

Shabon and Gake dashed and when they were about to jump on her, she opened Spirit window and jumped into it. Shabon, Gake and Ken quickly followed her to Spirit window.

 

 

"Nggaah!" Kuma shouted when he finally saw something. This was world, that looked like giant asteroid belt. World that collapsed long time ago... He saw something up ahead... giant green heart floating at sky. Day Faders were running around. They destroyed everything they touched. Suddenly Spirit window opened and Kuma saw Diana, who jumped from it and carried unconscious Nile with him. Then something felled onto his back.

"Kuma?" Shabon asked.

"Shabon? Gake!" Kuma smiled.

Ken who was toppest on pile runned after Diana. Then Gake stood up and then Shabon and finally Kuma too.

"Why are you chasing Diana?" Kuma asked.

"She is taking away Gakes DayFader." Shabon explained.

"Gakes what now?"

"No time to explain. We need to follow him!" Gake shouted and summoned his keyblade glider. He jumped on it and soon vanished behind giant rocks. Kuma putted his shoes to speed mode and runned after him. Shabon just runned.

 

 

"Hey you!" Crace shouted to Zenwae, who looked up to kingdom hearts.

"What are you doing with my sons keyblade?" She asked and Zenwae easily throwed keyblade to her.

"Like i would need it anymore. Give it to your son if you can. This world will submerge to darkness! All worlds will! Every heart and every soul! No one will be spared when i rise up for new era of darkness!" Zenwae shouted. Crace looked annoyed.

"Kingdom hearts belongs to me!" She said and summoned two keyblades. Other one was created from power of Merians seals. When Gake unlocked that power, her xioblivians could easily gather it and she would then produce another keyblade. Merians legendary keyblade. Crace attacked Zenwae.

"You look familiar!" She shouted, when Zenwae dodged and replicated himself to thirteen more.

"And i dont like that!" Crace started whirling around and her keyblades growed larger, destroying all Zenwaes replicas. Umbra appeared from dark corridors and saw his keyblade. He picked it up and then saw his mother, fighting with familiar looking guy... He remembered! This man was same man who used him as a test subject.

Suddenly DayFaders started to appear and attack Umbra. Boy used his keyblade and felt great, when using it after so long time of waiting.

Zenwae quickly summoned powerful DayFader, to protect him from Crace while he is using power of kingdom hearts.

 

 

"Stop it!" Ken shouted and throwed keyblade to Dianas feet, making him to trip and throw Nile to ground.

Gake runned to Nile and summoned his keyblade. He knew what to do.

"No!" Diana screamed.

Gake stabbed Nile to chest. Suddenly an light started to come out of Niles body. Gake was ready to take it back.

"FREAK!" Diana slapped gake so powerfully, she made him fall to ground. Diana jumped closer Nile and all that light from Niles body went inside her.

"Your my brother Nile! I wont let anything to happen! Rest in my heart until we find way to fix this!" Niles body vanished and Dianas hair turned more brown than it already was. She suddenly wielded two keyblades. Her own and Niles. Niles heart was inside her.

CHAPTER TWENTY SECOND

 

 

ENTERING DARKNESS

 

 

Kuma and Shabon saw Gake and Ken lying on the ground. They both woked up and looked around.

"Cursed! She got away!" Gake shouted.

"What happened?" Shabon asked.

"Diana took his DayFader and fainted us." Ken said and then he looked to sky. Kuma and others looked too to kingdom hearts.

"Whats that?" Kuma asked.

"They say its heart of all worlds and livings. Its called... kingdom hearts." Shabon said.

"Kingdom hearts?" Gake repeated.

Suddenly thunder striked and Kuma saw two figures fighting at mountains.

"Mom!" He shouted and turned to hawk and flied away.

"Kuma!" Shabon tried to follow him, but DayFaders appeared and blocked their way.

"Why do they always strike at bad moment?"

 

 

Kuma landed to mountain and saw Zenwaes powerful protector fighting Crace and Dayfaders fighting Umbra. He runned to his mother and managed to block monsters strike just before it would have hitted Crace.

"Kuma?" Crace said and looked suprised.

"We finish this fight together!" Kuma said and Crace smiled and nodded. Kuma went closer to monster, while Crace keeped it busy.

"But dont think that i will obey you!" Kuma shouted and striked monsters head.

"You two are very much like Richy." Crace said and stabbed monsters arms with both keyblades.

Kuma jumped from monsters back and kicked it same time while Crace rised it up from stabbed arms and throwed it away.

Zenwae didnt notice this. He was just standing on the edge and gathering energy from kingdom hearts.

"You did great job by collecting all that hope by your xioblivians Crace! Kingdom hearts feels like an greatest promise anyone can ever give or keep!" He said muchly to annoy Crace. Crace tried to strike him, but man vanished and appeared behind her. He took strong grip from Craces neck and holded him above the edge.

"Your days end here..." He said. Suddenly an keyblade flied through air and stabbed Zenwae. Zenwae turned his face and saw Gake.

"Maybe you wanna match with me? I bet your weak as other DayFaders were!"

"Gake! Dont do it! Your darkness..." Umbra shouted.

"Like i care! Leave my friends and enemies alone!" Gake summoned keyblade back to his hands. Zenwae smiled and vanished, making Crace to fell. Shabon catched her by her keyblade glider.

Zenwae appeared in front of Gake and both of them vanished.

"Gake!" Kuma shouted.

Shabon and Crace landed to mountain.

"Crace. Your keyblade! Use Merians keyblade to seal away kingdom hearts!" Shabon said.

"Why would i do that?"

"Its only way to stop DayFaders growing stronger! Do it!"

Crace stood up and rised Merians keyblade. She shooted an glowing ray from it to kingdom hearts. After two minutes she turned her face to them.

"Its not working!"

"It must work!" Shabon shouted.

"I have an idea!" Umbra shouted and started summoning xioblivians.

"What are you doing?" Crace shouted.

"Xioblivians are powerful enough to boost power of keyblade-ray." Umbra said.

"But... you kill them out of existence!" Crace said when xioblivians appeared and dissappeared to ray. Each one was either normal ones or evolved ones.

"I know!" Umbra said and dark aura surrounded him as he summoned more and more xioblivians to boost ray. Kingdom heart started shrinking like someone would have been eating it. Crace looked determined and angry. If boost gets too strong it could destroy her Merians legendary keyblade.

[Hunter Hawk 392]

Epic battle! Fight, fight, fight!!!

CHAPTER TWENTY THREE

 

 

ZENWAE THE DARK

 

 

 

Gake dashed toward Zenwae the Dark and hitted him with his keyblade. Zenwae gathered energy to his hand and punched him to stomach.

"You think you can fight darkness? Heres some!" Zenwae summoned DayFaders that attacked Gake. Gake was able to destroy them all with one swing. He runned to Zenwae and was ready to strike, but man moved away, leaving reflection behind. Gake turned his face and everywhere he looked he saw army of Zenwaes. There was about dozens of reflections. Gake then charged and used Devil-blast. It was powerful move. His eyes first change red and he is surrounded by fire then he just needs to push energy away, causing an gigantic blast. He learned it from his father and almost destroyed building they were in. Luckily blast was small. But this one was huge. It was able to go 150 meters away from Gake at every direction and destroy all reflections.

"Thats all you got?"

"Not quite..." Zenwae said and Gake turned his face above him. Zenwae was there, with that weird looking DayFader that Crace and Kuma defeated. Zenwae used force field and landed on Gake, who managed to use cartwheel to dodge it. Zenwae creature protected him from strikes and spells Gake throwed at him.

"I know who you are!" Gake shouted and hitted DayFaders arm away.

"You are that freak who abducted me last year. Your one who is resbonsible of that i have DayFader running loose!"

"Not just DayFader..."

"What? Aaaaagh!" Gake was punched to air. He quickly spinned around and throwed his keyblade, that went right through Zenwae. He landed to his feets and summoned keyblade back. He runned toward Zenwae, but Zenwae separated from monster and it grabbed Gake from middle of his body. He was unable to move or breath. It was like his bones would be crushing at any second.

"Darkness will overtake you... there is no doubt about it..." Zenwae said.

"Oh... yeahhh...?" Gake asked. He used his keyblade armor and then dis armored. DayFader wasnt able to hold him and armor and then him again at once. Gake throwed keyblade through DayFaders head and it started dissappearing.

"No more puppet games Zenwae!" Gake shouted and quickly runned to man and his keyblade clashed against him. Zenwae looked to darkness and slowly dissappeared. Gake turned around for a second, but then he noticed that shadows went into his body. He saw that Zenwaes darkness was gathering to him.

"What a-?"

"Your darkness... its perfect... perfect haven for me... i will return Gake..." Zenwae smiled, closed his eyes and dissappeared. Gake suddenly felt like he would be full of slimy digusting little bacterians. Darkness around him dissappeared revealing mountain again.

 

 

 

Kingdom hearts was away now, but Crace was still holding Merians keyblade that started to glow dangerously. Crace looked despaired.

"Mom! Let go of it!" Kuma shouted. He saw tears in his mothers eyes.

"I... i cant! Keyblade is stucked to my hands!" Crace said. Kuma and Umbra tried to strike blade away, but it didnt move any inch.

"Mom?" Umbra said quietly.

"Its okay dear... maybe...maybe its better i dissappear..." Crace sniffed and tried to look brave. Kuma didnt have able to stop his tears and Umbra turned away and looked upsetted. Shabon didnt wanna look them so... She walked to Crace and putted her hand to keyblade. Craces was free from keyblade, while Shabon was stucked to it.

"Shabon? What are you doing!"

"I use my spirit formation. If i die in formation i will reborn to Realm of Spiritians. Kuma! Promise me you and Gake come to me!"

"Shabon..."

"Promise!" Shabon shouted.

"I promise!"

Shabon turned to her siren form and immediatly Merians legendary keyblade exploded. Umbra, Crace and Kuma were thrown much farther away by explodes power. Gake runned to mountain and saw what was happened. Shabon or Merians legendary keyblade wasnt there. He went to Kuma.

"Are you okay?" He asked. Kuma nodded but started crying.

"What happened to her?"

"She... she..."
