Kingdom Hearts: SfE Part 2 - The Final Keyhole and the Mark of Mastery

Eden sparked her adrenaline even further, racing her heart much faster then it was used to. That was as far as she'd go, and that was all the help she could give.

 

Easy Eden. Save your strength for the keyhole.... Riku knew he couldn't help up the fire spell without tiring Eden out more, hoping it would be safe travels once they escaped the dark corridor.

 

"Sorry, it's just that I have this nasty little habit of calling on my adrenaline." Eden would have blushed. "But I'm not going to overdo the fire. But I promise, I won't end up like Axel." Her voice toned down a bit, relishing in the memory.

 

Alright...Riku knew they were almost out, anxious to get out of the dark corridor. Well, almost. He still needed to focus.

 

Gexln cut through one more shadow and then dove out of the dark corridor, emerging on top of Ayers Rock. He turned and motioned for the others to follow him. "Hurry up!" he yelled.

 

Eden took control once more, having a tagteam effort going on. She kept jumping back, running to the portal, pulling Kairi and Valerie with her. She allowed them to stay in front and pushed them both out before she jumped out. However, she was just fast enough to have a light scratch from one of the shadows on her back.
When she landed, she hissed in pain, already feeling tiny little oozes of blood seep through the clothes. "C'mon, let's go. I'm fine." she huffed. Right now, she was alive for Riku and Kairi, to make sure they got to the Keyhole at all costs.

 

"That was tottaly wicked!"Valerie cheered at the rush. Riku could feel the rush from his haven, laughing a bit. "what a rush..."

 

I provided much of it, thank you. Be glad I know how to make it so I'm on an adrenaline rush every waking moment. Anyway, sorry about getting your clothes ripped. Eden grimaced, the wound stung, but without proper equipment, she'd have to wait and hope it wouldn't get infected.

 

"It's alright, they're enchanted. The magic in them will fix it..."Riku was leaning back, relaxing. "So! Anyone have any ideas how to fix it? The keyhole, I mean..."Valerie asked.

 

Eden grunted a bit, staring at how thick the sludge was from here. She could barely move. "We jump in? Kairi has to be the one to heal it though." she glanced at the Princess of Heart, wondering if her purity alone would be able to cleanse Australia. "If that doesn't work... Well, I don't know then. We'll go and find someone out there in the worlds who can help us."

 

"Fixing a keyhole? Ha, good luck" Gexln said. He had no idea if the plan would work.

 

"wait...jump in? I know we planned on going to the world of darkness to fix it but..."Riku was starting to think about the cons of the plan. "Alright! To the world of Darkness!"Valerie was super excited.

"What are you doing...."Sora was watching Chester get into the fridge, taking some of the spoiled food. Heartless don't need to eat...do they? As if to prove Sora wrong Chester ate the spoiled food like it was still fresh. "Jeffrey...you're seeing what I'm seeing, right?"Sora was suprised. He didn't know heartless could eat anything but hearts and darkness...

 

"We jump in if Kairi doesn't succeed. It'll be hard, but maybe it'll show us who started this all..." Eden glared into the hole, worried of what would happen.

 

"Couldn't we just all go in there with the whole 'power in numbers' thing? I mean, what if we find Rikus body while we're in there?"Valerie wanted to prove to the others that she could handle the big heartless. Riku was thinking about it...after all, he did want his body back....

 

"True... but this darkness... I don't know what it'd do to us. But to fight on the inside is easier then trying to fight the outside." Eden gulped. She had no idea how far the jump would take her. "L-Let's go. Everyone first."

 

"Leap of Faaaaaaaaaaaith~!"Valerie was first to jump, giggling like mad. Riku rolled his eyes, chuckling.

 

Eden gulped, making the next jump, deciding that she wanted it well and done with. She only wished she was brave enough to say something funny and witty, but only a shrill scream seemed to work with her mouth.

 

Valerie took a look around the area, not really impressed. "This is it? I know its supposed to be dark and gloomy but yeesh."she shrugged.

 

Eden glanced around. Valerie had taken it lightly. It was darkness. She couldn't even see where they came in from. In fact, it felt like she couldn't see even Valerie! "Val?" She looked around more, unable to see anything still. She tried to summon a flame, but it was quickly snuffed out. "Val!?" she called out more. The darkness was separating them. "So much for strength in numbers." She whispered quickly, frightened.

 

"Edeeeeen, chiilll oooout~!"Valerie yelled, cheeks sparking. Of course, the sparking cheeks did nothing to help with the lighting. "I don't like this one bit..."Riku frowned.
