[ P - Pre-Teen ]

“Man, I’ve got so many questions” Sora oozed excitedly mouth still gaping from the astonishment of seeing his other. Like “what do you call that blade it’s so bad ass” he inquired pointing to Roxas’ blade the moonlight gleamed off of the silver hilt that connected to a pale crescent moon that held a golden sun that’s rays made up the blade. Roxas’ lifting the blade, that’s length seem to stretch thru time, and crooned “ I call it the Crux”. Crux? Sora said with a did-you-just-make-that-word-up-to-sound-cool- look, what the hell does that mean? “Something that torments by its puzzling nature” Roxas said in a matter of fact manner, it‘s kinda like me y‘know nobody but somebody at the same time. “Whoa, your smart... does that mean I’m smart to” Sora questioned. “No, but why would it” Roxas said punching Sora in the shoulder. “ Well, we are pretty much brothers” Sora said earnestly”. “ In that case I guess your right, huh you are smart” Roxas’ replied as began to think about his companion’s last statement. As Roxas thought Sora grabbed him in a headlock that made Roxas feel as if his head was vacuum-sealed.” If we’re brothers that makes me the oldest, and last time I checked baby brothers get beat up for hitting their elders” Sora said as he wrestled Roxas barely managing to keeping him from escaping. Roxas finally pushed Sora off of him and began feeling like changing the subject “ so how are we gonna find this Zion thing”. “I’ve been wondering the same thing” Sora said “ and I came up with a pretty good idea, now this might sound cheesy, but let’s just follow our hearts”. Roxas looked back at Sora for a few moments like he deeply considering this then he finally spoke “your right, that does sound cheesy” he chuckled.” Well I don’t see anybody, or should I say nobody coming up with anything better” Sora pouted. Before Roxas could retaliate the heroes argument was interrupted the sound of a familiar bubbling.” Shadow pack!” The duo said in unison. The two summoned their respective key blades.

“Things have been different around here, the air doesn’t even feel the same” Riku said to himself, as he stared at the construction being done off in the horizon of Destiny Island by machina or giant machinery. “ Dude, Riku did you do the physics homework” Wakka said from the surfboard across from him.” No” Riku sighed disappointed from being stirred out of his thought. “ Listen, man I don’t even have to do that homework anymore because Mrs. Harris totally wants to bone me” Tidus interjected. “ She’s like 65” Riku said as he placed his face in his palms to conceal his laughter “so my goal is to have sex with her old ass before I graduate” Tidus’ said with an air seriousness that caused his friends to laugh until tears ran down their eyes. There laughter was cut short when Tidus shouted “ Are those giant chickens” and pointed toward the shore to see a pack of enormous yellow birds running across the beach. “I’m more worried about what’s chasing them” Riku ads noticing that the birds’ pursuers were a group of heartless. Before Riku and the others could take action the wave they had been waiting for finally came, catching them off guard the massive wave crashed down on the trio. Riku could feel his heart pounding hard enough to break through his sternum, the force of the water surrounding him forced his head against a piece of driftwood. As the water in his immediate surrounding became red Riku could only think “swim damnitt, swim”. Once he pulled himself out of the saltwater he found himself surrounded by enemies. Riku staggered to his feet, tried to focus on the blurry images that made up the heartless, and lifted summoned The Way To Dawn which felt uncommonly heavy due to his muscle fatigue. The first heartless attacked Riku was able to swing and slice it in have, but this movement made his already sore biceps feel like they were splintering into a thousand pieces. The hero lost his balanced and his consciousness, so Riku did something he never did before, he prayed. He drove blade into the loose sand, collapsed down to both knees, then whispered “ God... or whoever’s up there, help, I can’t die here I made a promise”. Then two happened that turned Riku into a true believer. First a dragon descended from the heavens appeared before the distraught hero. Next Tidus accompanied by Wakka swooped in on the giant chickens. “ Whoa, looks like we got a summoner on our hands” Wakka shouted as his blitzball bounced off of his dark adversaries. “Looks like he’s going to need some guardians” Tidus replied drawing a beautiful ocean blue long sword, and making quick work of the shadows. ”I owe you one” Riku said staring up at the heavens. Watching as his friends who had gone from the dramatic change from stoner to hero in mere moments, and the awe inspiring dragon overwhelm their heartless attackers, Riku choked out “ helluva thing”.

The metallic taste of blood flooded Sora’s mouth as he and Roxas combated the last heartless in what seemed in an endless onslaught. “Roxas... you dead yet” Sora yelled trying to find his partner in the darkness. He yelled “no” but “what a goofball” is what Roxas muttered to himself. He could feel the warmth of his own blood running down his arm from multiple lacerations.” Good cause I have a plan” Sora hollered over to Roxas. Still holding his arm Roxas regrouped and stood shoulder to shoulder with Sora. “His underbelly there no armor under there” Sora said pointing to the giant four-legged heartless that was armor plated from it’s three horns down to it’s feet “It’s gonna be a long shot, but just follow my lead” he continued. ”Hey wait” Roxas said curiously “what do think that paper is that trapped under his hoof”. Sora hadn’t even notice the small parchment caught beneath the giant beast, but not wanting to let on to his ignorance he shouted “only one way to find out” as he charged into action. Sora charged forward, let out a feral roar, slashed upward with his Oblivion, and tipped the great beast onto it’s back. Sensing that, that was his cue Roxas dove unto the heartless belly spiraling down blade first and delivered the finishing blow. As the monster melted into the darkness the tattered paper descended slowly until Sora snatched it out of the air. “Roxas you gotta see this” he gasped. “What does it say” Roxas replied? Staring holes into the letter the two saw something that caused there jaws drop. The paper read Xenahort report.
