It was like any other weekend. Tausha and Keir were having a sleep over, and were bickering over which video game to play. They eventually settled on taking turns playing 'Kingdom hearts II'.
Then, while it was Tausha's turn, and she was pressing the combos she learned, it happened...
The characters on the screen continued in the combo, but Tausha and Keir could see that the background was changing rapidly. It looked a little like what one would think a portal of Darkness might look like... Until the blinding flash of light. There was endless falling, until...
"OUCH!" Tausha screamed, landing on the pavement. She shook her head, then stared at her hand. No controller. She looked at her cloths - no sweatshirt, no worn out pair of jeans, and no NO NONSENCE socks she stole from her sister... "What the FU-" She would have finished her sentence if something, or someone, had not fallen on her.
It wad Keir, "What the HELL!?" She yelled, looking around franticly.
"My cloths changed!" Tausha shrieked. She was franticly trying to figure out what happened. "Did yours?"
Keir looked down at her clothes- no oversized black skull shirt, no short blue jean shorts and no blue toed socks. What the hell!? "Yeah! What is going on here!?"
"I don't know, but..." She tried to get up, and failed. "Would you please get OFF ME!"
"Oh! Sorry!" Keir quickly jumped off her friend and helped her up.
"Thanks." Tausha said. She analyzed the new garb they were wearing. Keir was wearing a black strapless tight bodysuit, a red chain belt, and red gloves and boots. She also had a black heart tattoo on her left arm. Tausha was wearing a white short tank top with a sleeveless purple jacket over it, denim short shorts, and white wraps on the lower part of her arms, black gloves, and brown boots. She too had a black heart too but on her right arm. But the weirdness didn't stop there…
"Uh… is it me or are we in Twilight Town?"
"Twilight Town?" Tausha looked around and sure enough they were, "What the crap?"
Then it to dawn them…
"We're in the game!!!" The two friends yelled at the same time. And they were soon jumping up and down doing a fan girl squeal, earning a few strange looks from people that passed.
"This is so cool!" Keir smiled, "Hey maybe we'll see Axel!" she was all but drooling at the thought.
"And Riku or maybe even Sephiroth!" Tausha started daydreaming. She snapped out of it and looked directly at Keir, "I wonder if we have any special abilities, or what if we're just stuck here as one of the lame towns people..." She frowned at that thought as a villager walked by, she glanced at him and smiled a little embarrassed, "No offense sir..."
Keir shook Tausha, "Don't think like that! We were brought here for a reason, there's no way we're gonna end up being just towns people."
"Good point." Tausha said then smiled, "Hey I wonder if Roxas is near by..."
Keir grinned, "I'd say we go find him, who knows we might bump into Axel along the way!" she giggled.
Tausha giggled, "Ok! But wait do you think we're really in the beginning of the game? What if Roxas isn't even around anymore?"
Keir grabbed Tausha by the arm and pulled her along, "There's only one way to find out, come on!"
Right as they neared the Roxas' hang out, a stick was thrown, and hit Keir in the eye. She immediately covered her eye, "Owe! Okay who ever threw that has exactly 7.5 seconds to tell me why I shouldn't KILL YOU!" she yelled.
"Calm down Keir, I think Roxas might have thrown it."
"Oh... OH yeah!" She looked over where it was thrown and sure enough there he was. He slightly backed away from her though due to what she said a few seconds ago, "I think I scared him" Keir said sheepishly.
Roxas looked at the two awkwardly, "Who are you guys? I haven't seen you before, and how do you know my name?"
"Uh we're new here." Tausha said, "And as for your name um... Lucky guess is all."
"Oh that sounded convincing." Keir whispered sarcastically.
Tausha half glared at Keir, "Well what would you have said?" She whispered right back.
"That we heard of him."
"Oh...I guess that would have worked." Tausha giggled a little embarrassed.
"But whatever we do lets not tell him this is a game..." Keir whispered, "Who know what will happen if we did."
Tausha looked at Keir unimpressed, "I wouldn't have said anything like that."
Roxas took another step back, "Where are you guys from?"
"A world far away from here called Earth." Keir said. Hey it was the truth after all.
"Yeah...so...Roxas, it's such an honor to finally meet you, my name's Tausha and this is my best friend Keir."
Keir smiled and waved, "Hiya."
Roxas smiled and nodded, "Nice to meet you guys, and sorry about the whole hitting you with the stick."
"It's okay. And sorry for overreacting like that." Keir said sheepishly.
"That's fine, I'm actually heading to see some of my friends, you guys can come along if you don't have anything better to do."
"Sure!" Both girls said in unison and they grabbed Roxas' arms. Keir had his left and Tausha had his right, "Let's get going!" they ran towards the hanging slightly dragging a surprised Roxas.
Roxas looked at them funny again, "Do you guys even know the way?"
Tausha and Keir looked at each other surprised, "Of course we don't silly!" Tausha spoke up.
"Yeah, you better lead us there." Keir patted Roxas on the back.
"Yep. Lead the way!" Tausha smiled.
Roxas smiled, "Ok, this way!" The girls began to follow him down an alley way.
When they reached the hang out, no one was there. A letter was on a table that read:
Today we head for the beach. Don't sweat about the munny. – Hayner
Tausha smiled, "You guys are going to the beach? How fun!"
"Beaches are so fun." Keir said with a nod.
Roxas nodded, "Alright then lets head to the train station, Hayner and the others should be there."
Keir and Tausha nodded in unison.
When they left the hangout, they saw Pence and Ollete. They waved at Roxas and were walking towards them, but suddenly stopped... infact everything but Roxas, Keir and Tausha had stopped. Time had literally froze.
Roxas looked around, "What's going on?"
Tausha and Keir both looked at each other a little shocked, then they both turned their attention to Roxas. Suddenly a girl with short blonde hair, in a white dress appeared. It was Namine, "Hello Roxas." she said with a small smile, "I wanted to meet you at least once."
Roxas looked at her with confusion "Me?"
Keir and Tausha both looked completely amazed; they couldn't believe who they were actually seeing. Namine then noticed the girls, "Who are yo.." her eyes widen slightly, "So you're the chosen ones..."
"Chosen what?" Tausha said.
Keir raised an eyebrow. This part was not in the game before. Tausha and Keir both suddenly felt a little woozy, they almost fell over but they caught themselves and stood straight.
"Did you feel that?" Tausha asked.
"I don't know, what just happened?" Keir was holding her head.
"I just got really dizzy..."
Keir nodded her head, "Then yeah, I felt it too."
"What's happening to us?"
Keir shook her head, "I don't know..."
The next thing they knew time was restored and Namine disappeared, "Wha?" They looked around and they saw that Roxas was heading for the white manor, looking for Namine.
"Hey! Wait for us Roxas!" Tausha yelled as her and Keir ran after them.
Just then a portal of Darkness open, and a tall lean man wearing an organization jacket, stepped out in front of them. The hood of his jacket hid his face, "How do you two know Roxas?" he asked simply.
Keir spoke up, "Uhh... We just met him a little while ago."
Tausha nodded in agreement with her.
"You're lying" He said with some amusement in his voice. He removed his hood. It was Axel, "And just so you two know. I don't take kindly to lairs." He said with a smirk.
Keir's eyes widen and a faint blush appeared on her face. Her most favorite character in the game was standing right there! "A-Axle...!" she quickly put her over her mouth when she realized what she blurted out. 'That was not smart move...' She thought.
Axel looked directly at Keir and noticed her blush, he smirked, "And how do you know my name?"
"I uh...um... uh..." She tried to think up something, but came up empty, "Um... Tausha I think this is the part where we run off.." she whispered to her friend.
Tausha had a huge smile on her face, "But don't you wanna..."before she could finish, Keir grabbed her by the arm and pulled her away, soon the two were sprinting away form Axel.
"Hey why are we running!?" Tausha asked.
"Axel works for Organization XIII..." Keir explained as they ran, "And if they find out we know so much about everything..." She paused hoping Tausha would catch on.
Tausha looked completely puzzled but then finally caught on, "...Oh. OH MY GOSH! You're right! They'll want to capture us for sure."
"Yeah and thanks to my big mouth Axel will probably figure it out..." Right as Keir said his name, he appeared right in front of them, "Whoa!" Both Keir and Tausha skidded to a stop, "Uh... Hi???" Keir said.
Axel smirked again and took a step toward the girls, "Why are you two running away? Are you trying to hide something?"
The two friends took a step back for every step that Axel took towards them, "Maybe..." Keir said.
" ...And maybe not..." Tausha said. Then Tausha and Keir looked at each other and ran back the other direction.
"Should we try to follow Roxas?" Tausha asked Keir as they were sprinting.
Before Keir could answer dozens of Dusks blocked their path, "Gah!!!!" Keir screeched to a stop, "Not good..." She turned and saw Axel walking over, "Can you PLEASE stop stalking us!?" she said to him.
Tausha smirked then giggled, "You know you like it." She whispered.
Keir's eyes went wide and she elbowed Tausha in the side.
"Owe!" Tausha yelped.
"Can it." Keir said, "Or perhaps you want me to mention your little Riku-kun? Hmmm?" Keir then mentally kicked herself 'Dammit now fire boy is going to be asking about that!'
Axel had a huge grin on his face, "You two aren't from around here are you?" He took a step towards the girls and pulled out two pretty good sized circular blades, they had spikes coming off of them and he began to twirl them in each of his hands. "I think you should come with me. And trust me, you don't want to make this difficult on yourselves."
The two friends looked at each other. Just how were they going to fight this guy with NO WEAPONS!?
White Midnight...
Tausha blinked, "Wha?"
White Midnight...
"...White Midnight...?" suddenly a white keyblade with black swirls on it appeared in Tausha's hand.
Ninja's Rose...
Keir blinked, "Meh? Ninja's Rose?" A red Keyblade appeared in her hand.
Both girls looked at each other again, '"SWEET!!!"
Tausha and Keir both held their keyblades before them, Keir smirked, "Well we're definitely not going to make this easy for you."
Tausha was still looking hers over, "It's so beautiful... but is it strong enough?"
Keir took a step towards Axel, "There's only one way to find out."
Axel smirked, "You little girls really want to take me on? You know I might kill you?"
Keir rushed toward him, and suddenly disappeared, "Keir!?" Tausha looked around franticly for her friend.
Suddenly Keir was behind Axel, and she whacked him across the back with her Keyblade, "That was weird! Time like stopped for few seconds!"
Axel looked angry, he turned around and swung his chakrams at Keir, even flames began to form as he twirled them in an attack against her.
Keir ducked and foot swept his legs out from under him, "Thank god for karate and spar class!" she said with a grin.
Axel quickly recovered, he rolled to the side and glared at the girls, "I guess I don't have time for this...But don't think I've given up." With that said a dark portal opened behind him and he backed into it, disappearing into darkness.
Tausha looked at Keir a little worried, "Ok, so you got Axel off of us, but now we lost Roxas."
"We'll he was following Namine the last time I remembered." Keir said, "So let's go there."
"Yeah but he's probably already heading up the circling stairs to fight the..." Tausha looked at the ground and held her head, "I just got really dizzy again. Every time that happens it's like I forget something."
Keir nodded, "I feel it too, and I'm even starting to forget some of the main parts of the game."
Tausha smirked, "I guess we'll really have to play it then."
Keir smirked also, "Yeah, we'll just have to figure it out all over again."
"But we get to witness everything in person now." Tausha grinned.
"Yeah." Keir held her keyblade, "We get to actually kill the heartless and nobodies
instead of controlling Sora and Roxas to do it"
Tausha held up her keyblade too, "Yeah, this is so awesome!"
"Well shall we go find Roxas now?" Keir grinned, "I'm itching to try Ninja's Rose out on some nobodies."
Tausha nodded her head, "Yeah, I'd love to get in some practice." The two took off toward the old mansion.
When they reached the Sandlot area, they saw that time had stopped, because they were the only one's moving again. The two friends then spotted Roxas fighting off some Dusks, and by the looks of it he was starting to get overwhelmed.
"Need some help? Keir asked as her and Tausha jumped over to him, keyblades ready.
Roxas looked at the two a little confused, "...Yeah, I guess so."
Keir smirked, "Tausha you take those ones on the left, and I'll take the ones to the right."
Tausha nodded, "Got it!" The girls split right and left the middle dusks to Roxas.
Keir suddenly vanished and reappeared behind her targeted dusks, killing them with one graceful strike. She grinned, "Hey Tausha I think I just found out what my power is!"
"What's that?" Tausha asked as she attacked some dusks.
"I can stop time for a short while! I wonder what your power is..."
Tausha busted out a combo on her first enemy, hitting him with a constant basic attack until he finally vanished, "Mine's not working." Tausha looked her keyblade over.
Suddenly an orb of darkness shot out from her keyblade, obliterating the rest of her enemies. Tausha's eyes brightened in excitement, "Oh my gosh! I just totally shot something!" She hugged her blade, "I'm so sorry I ever doubted you." Her weapon then started to glow pure white. A beam of pure light finished of the rest of the dusks.
"WOW!" Keir exclaimed, "Now I can see why yours is called White Midnight!" She grinned.
Tausha looked happier than ever, "Wow, so you have some kind of time control and I have some kind of dark and light powers."
She nodded, "Yeah. We're going to SO kick ass with these powers!"
Tausha giggled, "Yes! Let's go find some more baddies!
"Yeah!" Keir said. She then noticed the dumbfounded look on Roxas' face, "...What…?"
Roxas stared at the girls as everyone's keyblades vanished and time began to move normally, "You guys have keyblades too? What is going on here?"
Both girls shrugged, "Not a clue." Of course they did know but they weren't about to say that.
Tausha walked up to Roxas, "We're just as confused as you, but we shouldn't worry about that now, where's that blonde girl you were talking with earlier?"
Roxas looked shocked, "You're right! I think she was headed for the old mansion."
Keir grinned, "Then lets head there."
The three teens headed for the old mansion, with surprisingly no dusk encounters. They soon stopped in front of the gate, due to it was locked. Keir took a hold of the gate and shook it, "I can't believe it's locked! And we didn't get attacked at all."
Suddenly a man in an Organization jacket appeared behind the girls, grabbing them both by the arm. Tausha and Keir had the same reaction, they jumped when they felt the grip tighten on their arms, then they looked up at the person completely confused.
"Let us go!" Keir yelled.
The man just ignored her yell and dragged them towards a Darkness portal. Both girls immediately started kicking and screaming for help, "Roxas! Help!"
Roxas looked completely stunned but at the last instant tried to help, he ran at the portal and reached out for each of the girls' hands but he was just seconds too late. The Portal closed and Roxas ran into open space, "They're gone..."
