Riku pov
Everyone was having a good time. Xion and Namine were collecting sea shells. Axel, Saix and Ventus were throwing a frisbee around, me Terra and Roxas were having a race not too long ago. Hayner Pence and Olette I think that’s their name, building a sand castle right next to Donald building his sand statue to himself which thankfully got destroyed. Aqua and king Mickey we’re talking not too long ago while watching us race. Everything was almost perfect. Almost
They were still gone. It's not right this is their win there happy ending they deserve to be here. I can tell that everyone is anxious about them returning, especially Roxas Ventus and Xion. They were some of the first who seemed ready to save Sora if something went wrong. But Sora is still the same he’ll make us worry but in the end everything will be fine right.
Something happened. I can feel it in my heart. Yes there back there ok nothing can go wrong now.
….. you had to say it Riku. As I turned I only saw Kairi there on the small little land attached to the play island that has the paupo fruit tree which kairi is sitting on. I can see that she is shaking, crying silently. Some things are very wrong. I need to comfort her.
I move to help her when suddenly a white portal appears at the beginning of the bridge to the island when a figure steps through. He is wearing a coat similar to that the organization once wore but it’s all white and with his hood up hiding his face . As he steps through he glances at us for only a second. Then return his head forward not even bothering to give us more than a thought his sights set on kairi.
As he starts to walk to her I think what am I doing why can’t I move. I can’t do anything his Presence gives off so much fear that I have never felt in my life it’s frozen me. Not just me but the others as well I can tell seeing as nobody rushed past me to stop the man. There was a symbol on the back of his coat. It was a circle with 3 arrows pointing inward, the circle itself seems to be enclosed as well.
This man was unnatural, he didn't belong, he shouldn’t be here, this was supposed to be a happy ending. He finally reaches Kairi and says things that I can not hear. Kairi turns to look at the man. I can see her face full of tears and she has a depressed look on her face. The man then reaches into his pocket and pulls out an item one that looks like a star but made out of pink sea shells. Why does he have Kairi's charm that she gave to Sora? The charm dangles on his gloved fingers for a bit before he finally hands it to her, more like putting it on her lap.
He finally turns to walk away when Kairi tries talking to him. I couldn't hear what she said but I did hear a choking sob in it . All the man did was turn his head and shakes kairi looked even more devastated. He then raises his arm and the portal appears back in front of him. I can see it better this time it’s not like the corridor of darkness; it was more grey with what looks to be chains in it. He steps through and finally everything seems to move again.
“Kairi” I shout as I jump to the small island. I ran over to her .
“Kairi, where's Sora, why is it just you?” I frantically asked, I was still facing her back when suddenly she fell backwards straight into me. She cried herself unconscious. I checked and she’s still breathing thank kingdom hearts. I went to pick her up when I finally noticed I summoned my keyblade. I didn't even remember doing that. I finally remembered that I’m not alone, I look to my side to see everyone else all in different states of panic.
Roxas has both his keyblades drawn while his posture is that of a worrier; his face tells me that he is still afraid for his life. Xion also has her keyblade but she’s shaking so much it seems like she’s ready to blow away with the wind. Axel and Saix had their backs together and they were frantically looking around trying to see if there was more danger. I could tell they also had unknowingly held each other's hands. Terra Aqua and Ventus all had summoned their keyblade armor. I could see they were breathing heavily but I couldn’t see their faces . Namine took the worst of it she was in the fetal position on the sand. I can hear her rambling incoherently. The trio from twilight town are trying their best to calm her but I can tell they would rather join her.
I sighed dismissing my keyblade. I pick up Kairi and try my best to rush her off the island. Others who were also in a better state of mind saw what I was doing, some rushing to join me, others staying to snap the other out of it. I didn’t care even as I rushed with Kairi to get help all I can think about was where was Sora and who the hell was that
??? POV
I sighed “that was harder than expected” I mumbled to myself I’m back under the shine of the forensic lights. I pinched the bridge between my eyes again and sighed, those were always tough on the eyes. I started walking down the long white corridor I was thinking to myself.
“Was that the right thing to do” I stared blankly ahead while I walked.
“Was it right for them they don’t even know? It’s been too long.” My train of thought stopped when I spotted a woman in the same corridor as me.
She had bright orange hair tied into pigtails. She was wearing a business style dress and she had her arms crossed over her chest with an annoyed look on her face.
“That was risky and you know it” she said while tapping her foot.
“What are you doing here” I said tiredly
“I figured you were doing something stupid and I was right” she said as she starts to walk with me.
“I don’t need any talk like that O1. She deserved Closure” I said softly
“Yeah well if any of the keybladers actually did something the whole foundation could have been exposed” she huffed frustrated.
“I know I know” she said” so anything happened while I was gone”
This time she sighed and look at the ground sad “ There been a Containmentbreach over at site 23 five Euclid escaped, two guards were fatally injured three were killed before we could secure containment again”
“Dam it” I hissed “ Ok, send care packages to the families if they had some and start preparing funeral arrangements.” I said of course something like this would happen when I leave
“There also been some serpents hands sittings around some of the Facilities. I already made arrangements to double guards” she stated “ there’s also a meeting today”
“ I’m not going” I said and she look at me weird “ I’m to tired and I haven’t slept in nearly 48 hours “
“Very well but I do trust you’ll help us when you wake up” she said “ I always do” I said as I smiled at her
She smiled back at me “ good now go get some sleep administrator” she said as she started to head down another corridor towards a meeting room with the rest of the council. I sighed one last time, yes finally some sleep. Maybe I finally get a good dream
