    A sense of uncertainty grasped at Laguna as the things around him seemed to go from weird to crazy in the matter of a few moments. Days before when he had arrived in this place—Traverse Town as he learned it to be called—he had found much of the events that brought him there to be unbelievable, but now as things escalated quickly it became obvious to the man that he was in a whole new world and should give up on any of the preconceived notions about how things worked behind him.
   ” Ye.. yeah kid. ” Laguna had replied to Sora after a lengthy pause during which the man in the white coat, bearing a weapon he knew about quite well, appeared literally from the ground below. Laguna again could not help shake the feeling that he—or at least his world—had something to do with what was going on here. After all, two gunblades in this place, their design exactly as he had seen them time and time before, in this foreign world seemed unlikely.
   ” Kid, I guess we still need to go help them right? ” Laguna exhaled, his breathing heavy as the weight of the situation seemed to settle itself on his chest. ” You better lead the way, that Keyblade of yours seems to be what they want, so go give it to them. I'll support you from a distance. ” Laguna motioned with his head then to the tiny pew-pew gun in his hand, knowing that being in a close melee fight with the likes of that gunblade user was not best for his health.     —

Chapter One: Keyblade Master
     The remaining shadow look back and forth between Sora and Laguna as if unsure of who to attack. Not wanting to waste a moment after seeing Laguna attacked, Sora ran and slide past the shadow, his keyblade smashing the shadow in a puff of smoke. A bead of sweat ran down Sora's brow as he smiled towards Laguna, keyblade resting across his shoulder, "Thanks for the help. We should go help them-" Sora looked towards the door up a flight of stairs that led to the 2nd district.

A large black shadow grew from the ground to the height of a person. As if stepping out of a hole in the planet, a male with a long scar across his face wearing a black skull cap, an ankle length white duster, and a carrying sword similar to Leon's walked out of the shadow which disappeared once he was standing in Traverse Town. With an arrogant smile, the man pointed his gunbalde towards Sora, hand holding the gunblade sideways, "You were her just as she said." A shadow appeared of each side of the man with a soldier appearing in front of her, "She will rewards me greatly for capturing you."

Sora frowned towards the man and gripped his keyblade with both hands, "Well, whoever you are, you won't capture me. I have to find Riku and Kairi." The new comer smirked, "Riku is-" The man was cut short by the sound of the door leading to the 2nd district was kicked over. Leon look down towards Sora, Laguna, and, "Seifer!?" Leon jumped down and landed on his feet and rushed towards Seifer, keyblade in hand. Both keyblades clashed as the two warriors struggled to over power each, "It's been a while, huh, Squall." Leon grunted at the sound of that name and pushed Seifer back, "It's Leon! What are you doing here Seifer?!" Giving Leon a condescending smirk, Seifer analyzed Leon looking for an opening, "I'm here for that boy. You know you can't stop me. You have the scar to remind you." Seifer laughed to himself as Leon charged forward, gunblade clashing, "So do you!"

The two warriors clashed forgetting for a moment about Sora and Laguna. The three heartless eyed both fights. Without any clear commands, they were indecisive.


    OOC:
First strike against the 2 shadows, 1 solider, and Seifer with Leon as an ally. This Seifer is not the same as the KH2, but rather an adult version of that. Stat battle.

    Laguna felt the sharp pain of the Shadow's claws as he was pushed forward by the force of the attack, stumbling for a moment before he was able to regain his balance. Turning around swiftly he came face to face with the creature, it's glowing yellow eyes a sharp contrast to it's otherwise completely dark body.
   ” These things are pretty sneaky, just like those damn cactaurs that one time. ” Laguna found himself recalling fond memories of the past, the visages of both Ward and Kiros flashing through his memories before he snapped back to the present reality. Ready to act, Laguna kicked out with his right leg, making quick contact with the Shadow, hoping to put a little distance between them. Lurching back he raised his small gun upwards and, making sure his aim was true, squeezed it's trigger with a bang.
   ” I'm really going to have to find a gun with more fire power. ” Laguna said as he exhaled, feeling like he could not contribute to his battle as much as he would like.     —

Chapter One: Keyblade Master
     The ambient sound of combat carried through the air from the 2nd district. Sora jumped back to his feet at being sent flying back from the soldier that was shortly blasted in a puff of smoke by the barrage of bullets from Laguna. Sora looked at Laguna with fierce determination, "Thank you." Sora looked towards the three shadows in front of him, two flat to the ground and one looking around confused, as if unsure where his friend had just gone. "Let's defeat them." Sora rushed towards the confused shadow and slide, slashing and leaving a puff of smoke in his wake.

Within the confusion of the fight, one shadow, tight to the ground, slipped away unnoticed by Sora. The shadow popped up behind Laguna and after a few moments of analyzing the situation, the shadow slashed with his right claws into the back of Laguna.

    Laguna felt an unease sense rush over him during the brief moments between Sora's questioning the cloaked figure and his answer. Again it seemed to Laguna as if everyone knew about or was looking for this boy, somehow he was at the center of everything that was happening. Laguna, still unsure how he fit in the picture, caught the old man's eye for the briefest moment before he vanished in a whiff of grey energy an smoke which enveloped him, a sight which confounded Laguna.
   ” What exactly have I gotten myself into? ” Laguna mumbled under his breath.
Seconds later, as if planned by some devine being, the portals of darkness began to swirl and form on the ground ahead of him. Laguna knew by now only one thing could escape these maelstroms of darkness, those creatures without hearts, their black bodies bug-like in nature. As the four fiends began to scurry across the third district's stone paved courtyard he watched as the boy, without hesitation, charged forward waving his keyblade with great conviction.
   ” Save some for me kid. ” Laguna said with a heavy sigh as he raised the sights of his small gun, deep down longing for the firepower of the Galbadian military, before unleashing a round towards the fiend that had attacked the young man.     —

Chapter One: Keyblade Master
     The wizened old man smiled ear to ear to Sora's question. His facial expression hide no malice, but only showed genuine joy. "Well, if it isn't the keyblade master." The old man put an odd emphasis on the word as if to poke fun at it. "And..." Staring hard at Laguna, the man scratched under his hat, "How odd that you of all people should be accompanying the young boy there." With a shrug of his shoulders, the man brushed past the issue, "I suppose that's how things are when they are outside of your control."

Sora's face twisted into a grin as he took a step towards the man, "Hey, start making some sense. Are you with the heartless?" The old man chuckled to himself, "Oh, heavens no. Though they are fun to watch." A loud bang came from an upper level which seemed to lead to the 2nd district, "Well, seems my time here has run out. I'm sure we'll meet again, just please make it a good show." A grey energy wrapped around the odd man and when it was gone, so was the stranger.

As if on perfect timing, dark ports appeared in front of Sora and Laguna. Two heartless soldiers appear accompanied by 4 shadows which stuck to the ground in front of the duo. Without missing a beat, Sora charged in, keyblade in hand. Horizontal, vertical, then a spin attack sent ont of the soldiers flying. The other leaned back then flung himself at Sora, sending the boy reeling.

    Laguna was quite interested in the direction of the conversation, eagerly anticipating finding out more above traveling between worlds when the concussive vibrations of some unknown force reverberated through the shop. Everyone around him quickly jumped to their feet, fully alert. Banter between the new found allies seemed worried, Laguna simply keeping quiet as they determined what was happening, eventually determining that both the second and third districts of Traverse Town could be under attack or in some kind of danger. Laguna nodded to the young girl, his eyes drifting to Sora who was already moving towards the door, his weapon in hand. Sensing he should follow, Laguna moved quickly through the door, dashing behind Sora as they made their way the massive doors that lead into District 3. Sora had leaned in, opening the door and Laguna followed, narrowly sliding between the towering door into the third district, an area of Traverse Town he had yet to explore sense his arrival some days before.
   ” Kid be careful, there could be more of those creatures here. ” Laguna said as he followed Sora towards the central area of District three when he caught sight of the robed man. His garment was a deep brown, covering much of his body, making it hard for Laguna to judge the character of the figure from a distance. He instinctively found himself reaching for his weapon, feeling the weight of it in he hand as he allowed the boy to inch forward, ready to attack if the need arose.

Chapter One: Keyblade Master
     The silence that seemed to prevail over the entire world was shattered by a large crashed and cut by the screams of those in trouble. Instinctively, Sora's keyblade appeared in his right hand. Sora was right behind Yuffie without being asked to, but nodded in response to taking over the defense of the 3rd district. Sora looked towards Laguna, his own sense of justice taking over him, his smile now gone, "Come on. We have to save these people." Sora knew that his duty now was the save other worlds, but for now he had to save the people in front of him. Thinking about how he was unable to save Kairi or Riku pushed his legs faster and faster. Without even thinking about how he got there, Sora now stood in front large door to the 3rd district, his hands reaching out to push one of the doors open.

The 3rd district was eerily silent. There was no sign of what had caused the crash and there no sign of any residents except for a single figure who stood in the middle of the courtyard looking towards the door that led to the 1st district. The figure wore a well worn brown robe that covered his whole body down to his feet. Atop of his head was a matching brown wizard's head, just as worn as the robe. The tip of the hat drooped due to wear. White straggly flowed from under the brown hat and a long white beard that came to a point at the middle of his chest. The figure said nothing, simply looked towards the 1st district, his facial features showed no signs of what he thought, but his eyes showed deep curiosity. "Hey, who are you?"

     Cid smiled at Laguna's question, sticking his thumb out and pointing at himself, "Of course. That's where I come in-" Cid was abruptly cut short by the sound of a large crash followed by screams. Leon, who has seem apathetic through this whole interaction, jumped towards the door in a hurry without a word, worrying about the residents that he protects. "That sounds like it's from the 2nd district." As Yuffie reached the door another crash was heard followed by screams coming from a second direction, "That sounds like the 3rd district."

Outside the accessory shop, Yuffie could see that Leon has already riushed off towards the 2ndy district. Yuffie looked back at the pair, "Could you two check out the 3rd district?" Yuffie pointed towards a large door that was one a level below the accessory shop, "The 2nd district is mainly our residential area." Without waiting for a response, Yuffie and Cid ran off knowing that keeping the 2nd district safe was a top priority.

    A sense of dispare rushed over Laguna as the fate of not only his own world, but the worlds over everyone else in the room came up the same, gone, destroyed. Feeling his body sinking, Laguna slid over to the couch, slowly settling into it. Leaning forward he put his face into his hands, a position which he stayed in for several moments as he listened to the others speak.
   ” Wait, is there actually a way for us to travel to these other worlds?! ” He spoke up, cutting into the conversation at hand. It hadn't dawned on him till this moment that they could possible prevent the same thing that happened to their worlds from happening to someone elses. A sense of duty had now replaced his sense of dread as he lifted himself back from the couch, looking around the room at the others.
   ” If that's the case then I have to fight! ” Laguna said, his eyes gravitating towards the boy Sora, the one at the center of this entire situation. He wondered if the fate of the worlds would be in this boyy's hands, and if that was the case could he handle it?

Chapter One: Keyblade Master
     Sora looked towards Laguna for a while. Even though it seemed he had been here for some time, Sora could see they were both at a lost. If Laguna wasnt here, Sora may have been in big trouble with those...what are they called...heartless. Those without hearts. Had Riku and Kairi been attacked by them too. Kairi disappeared in front of Sora, but Riku seemed to accepted the darkness, welcome it in. Had Riku been engulfed by the heartless.

Shaking off the thoughts, Sora smiled towards Yuffie with her arms on his shoulder. Her touch felt reassuring and her personality reminding Sora of Kairi. "Alright let's do this. Those heartless don't stand a chance against us." Gripping both hands and pumping himself up, Sora smiled ear to ear, "We'll destroy the heartless, save the other worlds, and find Kairi and Riku." Sora looked over at Laguna, "With your skills, I'm sure we'll find a way to defeat them."

The room grew quiet at Laguna and Sora's question caused Cid, Yuffie, and Leon to all look at each other. Leon shook his head, "There is no one here by those names, unless they have just arrived." Cid through his arms up in defeat and Yuffie shrugged with a smile to Laguna, "Guess your just like us." Yuffie giggled to herself as Leon put his hand to his face and shook his head, "Your planet was destroyed by the heartless just like ours. Now we fight against the heartless, but without the keyblade there is no way to prevent them from destorying more planets." Yuffie jumped up from the counter and stood behing Sora, placing her hands on his shoulders, showing him off to the rest of them, "But now we stand a chance!" 

Cid grunted towards Yuffie, "There are more worlds out there too and the heartless seem to becoming stronger and stronger." Scowling towards Cid, Yuffie pulled down one eyelid and stuck out her tongue in a childish taunt. Leon looked towards Laguna, his look seemed to pierce through Laguna as if to take him all in. "You decided where you 'fit' in. Your pretty good with that gun. You can team up with us and fight the heartless or try to make a new life for yourself here." The more Leon talked, he couldn't help, but have a feeling of deja vu. "I won't force you to fight with us." Leon's eyes dart over to Sora, his voice tense, "But if you want to see your friends again, you'll have to help us. We can't do it without you." 

Yuffie moved away from Sora and did two backflips to stand next to Leon. Yuffie spread her arms and smile wide, "So come on. Join us! I'm sure we'll find your friends if we try real hard."

    Laguna followed the unusual group of youngsters as they departed the cafe, trekking across the stone paved square, and back up the steps he had only descended moments before. Entering through a heavy wood door Laguna found himself back in the accessory shop, which he had recently browsed through during his search to find some sort of weapon. The shop was cozy, it's parquet flooring creating a nice contrast between the plastered walls and stone fireplace. Everyone but himself and the boy from before, Sora he believed, seemed at home her, comfortable.
   ” Uh.. Laguna? ” Laguna said with a wave of his hand in response to Cid, still confused but not wanting to be rude, as the young girl cut him off and directed their attention to the boy.
Laguna listened as they all spoke to one another, settling back near the fireplace, between it and a cushioned ottoman. The boy seemed to be anxious, and had again referred to his friends. Laguna could empathize with Sora, he too had lost two friends, Kiros and Ward. He however was not as optimistic about finding them, sensing somehow that they might be lost to the darkness forever.
   ” If you don't mind me asking. ” Laguna spoke up, giving the others time to quiet down before continuing. ” How exactly do I fit into this? I mean, I found myself here in this place just a few days ago myself. ” He asked, hoping for something, anything.

Chapter One: Keyblade Master
     Sora followed behind Leon and Yuffie in utter confusion. This world was nothing like his islands. Sora looked in wonder around the accessory shop, trying to process everything that was happening. Why had he been chosen? Why did it have to be him and where were Riku and Kairi? These questions spun around Sora's head as he waited for any answers.

Looking angrily at Cid, Sora clenched his fist, "Hey, I'm not a kid. The name's Sora." As if in response to Sora's agression, the keyblade appeared out of thin air and in Sora's hand, causing Cid to jump back slightly in shook. Sora wore his own shooked expression as he looked at the keyblade. Taking a deep breath, Sora calmed down and watched the keyblade disappear like it appeared.

"But why are they after the keyblade? Why is it so important?" While Sora had just claimed he wasn't a kid, Sora knew deep down that he was a kid and this was a lot to be put on his shoulders, "If I appeared here after the...heartless?...came to my islands, does that mean my friends Riku and Kairi are here too?" Sora felt he could take on this if he had his friends Riku.

Chapter One: Keyblade Master
    
The accessory shop was a singly room, light by soft light and heated by the large fireplace. Leon moved to the far end of the shop, standing against a glass display and looking back at the entrance. Yuffie stopped at the green “L” counter, jumped, and sat ontop of the counter, legs swinging slightly. Behind the counter, a blonde man wearing googles of his head, a whte shirt, and a piece of straw in his mouth. “We've found him, Cid. We've found the key.” Yuffie looked over at Cid with a smile and a nod. 

As Sora walked into the accessory shop, Cid looked puzzled and look at Leon and Yuffie until Laguna walked in. A lodk of relief briefly crossed his face, “Glad we were finally able to fine you, but haven't I see you around here before. Name's Cid” Yuffie giggled to herself and Leon shook his head, “Not him. The kid.” Cid scratched the back of his head, “Sorry, kid.”

Seeing Sora's angry look, Leon continued past the confusion, “Those creatures are known as the heartless, those without hearts. They are attracted to the darkness in people's hearts, and every heart has darkness.” Wanting to lighten the heavy mood from Leon talking, Yuffie butted in, “And they are looking for the keyblade and you. That's why we've been looking for you.”
