Welcome to Gaia! ::

Krystal was silent but Tenki knew that look. She understood completely and took it in like a newborn child. Although slightly confused she found herself believing every bit of it. Once again she thought of the dream and the dark creatures. But her look suddenly went odd at the protector part. "Your saying that we're the two protectors." Her look was now disbelieving, the first time during the conversation.

Riku nodded, "There's no denying it. Your auras are completely different from other at this world, actually there different than anyone that I've encountered."

Krystal was glancing between Misao and Tenki. She had heard a few of the stories from his older brother. But truly she had just thought him batty. Although her dream seemed some kind of impetus that told her to go. With a cursory look at Riku she nodded. "I can't say for Tenki but..." she paused looking down at the ground, "I'm going weither or not I believe I'm some type of a protector. I mean you feel it too don't you? This world its so dead."

Riku was frowning lightly. Although these two seemed amicable, some thing seemed to be bugging him. His frown deepened as he thought, what if they don't know how to make a keyblade? He glanced over at Sora seeing his confident smile. Soon he found himself smiling lightly.

"Back to the stargate. I don't know if you'll be able to help us much, but..." Riku shrugged giving a small smirk. The moment he put his guard down it seemed to call them. Heartless could be heard running through the streets outside. Cries of people echoed loudly showing the true essence of the land. He darted for the door grabbing one of the swords sitting in the room. He didn't even look at the simple design as Kairi suddenly gasped.

"The... they're here?"

Krystal grabbed a sword adroitly herself, it was much heavier and longer than the one Riku grabbed. She ran out the door only to be stopped by Riku who was standing only feet from the door. Heartless and nobodies were running amuck in the holocaust. He stood there his eyes wide in shock.

Krystal without looking asked, "Heartless?"

"Not just heartless..."

Riku had suddenly went calm. Like ushal the shock only lasted for a second, now his calm entity returned. Although the attacks seemed random and irratic it almost seemed they were searching for something. Riku glanced over at Sora. "We can't fight them all even if we had keyblades, anyways they're looking for something." Riku looked over at Tenki and Krystal.

"They're looking for us? But why?" Krystal asked in a calm voice. She had always handled stess and panic well being mainly calm and collected. She was also very headstrong, someone who doesn't take a dominent role unless no one else will. She perfered to help in the background. It was almost relieving that this group had a type of leader. But leader wasn't the best word...

"Who ever stole the keyblades apparently knows about you two, and also the fact you can make a keyblade."

"But I havn't even seen a keyblade before!" Krystal felt slight tension hit her. They were depending on her when she didn't even know what to do. But like ushal she took a deep breath seeming to prepare herself for anything. "Alright do you have an idea of how we're suppose to do this?"

One of the heartless had dodged towards them. Riku quickly swung his sword sending behind them. It hit the building disapearing in a swarm of darkness. "Atleast we can still fight." Riku said smiling slightly, "Alright lets go." Riku using his left hand quickly opened a portal. Krystal found herself staring at it oddly, it was the same essance of the heartless he had just destroyed. She gave a glance around the group thinking, 'There's alot for me to learn'

Krystal was the last one. She gave one last look around her. This destruction was once her home. Now it would be only ruins. The screams reminded her what she was suppose to do. Turning she took a deep breath.

A being cloaked in darkness itself appeared behind her. She didn't see a portal of any kind and she didn't sense him till he was right on her. He grabbed her wrist violently pulling her back. The shock delayed her reaction as she stood there. The being placed a plain black bangle around her wrist.

"What the?" Krystal was broken off as the man waved his hand over her head. She froze her eyes going wide for a second. Her breath stopped as she stood as still as ice.


On the other side Riku had just shown up. He walked out of the dark portal over to the group. He looked back waiting. After a couple seconds he frowned slightly. "Darn it." He started back towards the portal when Krystal suddenly appeared.

She walked out of it almost stumbling out of her own stupidity. She gave uneasy glances back at the portal. Riku stood silently looking at her.

Kairi couldn't help but laugh slightly. "See Riku no need to worry. Get lost did yah?" Kairi smiled over at Krystal.

Krystal simply nodded. "Yah I waited to long so when I got in that inbetween place I couldn't see where you guys went." She gave a laugh putting her hand behind her head. She was rarely this careless and clutsy but it seemed natural from the current events. "Note to self, keep up."

After the group all walked out they heard the familiar voice. "Looks like you got them fine." Mickey was standing there smiling brightly. He turned towards Krystal first putting out his hand. "Well I guess I should introduce myself. I'm Mickey Mouse."

Krystal took it gingerly shaking hands. "Uh, Krystal. Nice to meet you."

Mickey then turned towards Tenki with the same gesture.

Kairi was smiling lightly. She bent over to Krystal and quickly whispered, "Mickey is the King we were talking about earilier, he traveled with Riku for awhile till they split up. They'll probably fill you in later."
