Master Karas pulled the girl aside as her friends left the training room. "What is it, Master?" she asked, completely innocent of his deceit.
"Why my dear, did you think that I wouldn't notice the Darkness escaping during your sparring match?" he answered her with his own question, waiting until the last of the Keyblade Students left.
"I'm sorry, Master Karas. I tried to keep it in check, honestly I don't know where it came from. I'll learn to keep it out of my heart."
"No need to be sorry, my dear." he comforted her. He quickly grabbed the young girl's head by the mouth, muffling any screams that decided to form. Horror filled her eyes and she mumbled distress from behind his hand. The kind and loving look removed itself from the Dark Keyblade Master's eyes, revealing his true, evil nature. He lifted her off of the ground, making her eye level with him. Her body began to have Darkness swirl around it. "No, my dear, why would you be sorry, you've got quite a great donation gathered, and it's time for me to collect." With that, Karas drained her heart of its Darkness, killing her in the process. Her lifeless body began to drop to the floor, only to disappear in light. Satisfied with his kill, the dark man nonchalantly exited the training hall, as if nothing had happened at all. He turned towards a stairwell and went downward. As he reached the bottom, he could sense someone, another dark wielder. He turned passed the railing, moving near the seemingly empty space under the stairs. His walk halted and he turned his head toward his Heartless apprentice. "Hello Mirage."

Mirage nodded his greetings. He never really spoke much, even to Karas. Instead, he stood formally, almost like a soldier in front of his master. One thing that had always bugged Void was that he always looks like he was ready for church or a funeral. Black butoon up shirt, black dress pants, black polished dress shoes. Like he was just a weak, innocent boy. He, however, was far from that. He was rank 5 in the Eternal Black, he was by no means innocent and definatly not weak. He had shocked even his own sister with his power, and the Queen of Darkness was not easily shocked. Often he wondered though, how much did any of them really know?

"What brings you here, my apprentice?" asked the older man. "Has the Dark Lady wished for a report on my actions? I told her that this mission might take a while, I am trying to create a Keyblade from pure Darkness from these students' hearts."

"No sir." The apprentice answered quietly. "I was mearly bored and had nothing to do, so I came to see if I might be any use to you at this moment." The Dark Misstress had sent him here, but it was because he accidentally harmed one of her Neoshadows in his boredem.

"Hmm, well, it seems that I am almost done with my new Keyblade, I just need a few more hearts." thought Karas out loud. "I am the only master still here, the others are off doing only Darkness knows what. Meet me in the Training Hall in about ten minutes, I have a plan for you and our little test subjects." A sinister grin filled his tanned face.

A smile crossed the young boys face. He nodded his acknowledgement and walked off. He wanted to get there early and look around. Never before had he actually been to this place, only heard rumors. The rumors were true though. Pictures of the past Keyblade masters hung all over the walls. One in particular, Sora, made his skin crawl. He had heard numerous stories about Sora, and all of them good.

-Ten minutes later-
Master Karas and about ten students entered the Training Hall. He gasped in false horror. "What are you doing here, foul one! Students, get ready," he turned toward the young Keyblade Wielders, hoping Mirage would follow his lead, "purify this Heartless in the name of the Light!"

Mirage drew his Keyblades quickly. He knew Karas would let anything major happen to him, but he was still a little afraid. There were so many of them against only one of him. "Purify me? Ha, good luck." He said darlky, trying to drive the students forward.

Some of the students rushed toward the Heartless, a couple ran around, trying to flank and the rest stayed back. "Remember, Mirage, don't kill them, just lure out the Darkness, I promise you'll get a great reward afterward." Stated Karas to his apprentice telepathically.

Mirgae nodded and continually dodged their attacks, intending to anger them. Anger was one of the leading factors to darkness, and one of his favorites. Ocassionaly he would lash out at them, just to make them think he was actually fighting them. One of the male students started getting angrier and angrier, until he finally started attacking Mirage relentlessly. Soon more and more of them started to follow suit. "How much more of this? I don't know if I can handle all of them attacking like this." Mirgage responded telepathically.

"Just a little longer, you may use some of your magic, they are used to training with me when I use my 'weaker' versions of them." thought Karas to the Heartless, using his term for non-Dark powers. He twitched a wrist and Darkness swirled around Mirage. "Here, this should give you an edge. You may switch to a stronger weapon if you wish. The blue-haired boy, the vicious one, he hates to be talked down to, he is the most susceptible."

Mirage nodded but he didn't switch. "You are pathetic. I could have done better at the age of 2." He growled at the students. "And you, their leader presumably. Hm, I am stronger than you with my eyes closed." He desummoned his Keyblades and punched the blue haired boy square in the jaw. "Fight me like a man. Or are you to chicken, hiding behind your weapon?" He took another swing at the closest student, the kicked one in the stomach, sending her across the room.

The blue-haired boy picked himself up off the floor, Darkness began to seem from his heart. "Good, he is starting to give in." thought the Dark Keyblade Master. The girl smashed into the wall with a loud thud, cracking her skull against the wall, and rendering her unconscious. "Curaga." he said, healing her, bringing her back to consciousness. She stood back up, rage in her eyes, Darkness erupted from her, only momentarily, but it was there. Mirage was definitely getting to them.

"Your students are pathetic!" he yelled to Karas. Apparently, the blue haired boy didn't appreciate that, because he lunged and knocked Mirage down. As Mirage started to get back up, the boy kicked him hard in the side. Mirage crumpled, as his ribs were one of his weakest points. "Damn children." He growled, staggering back up. The boy was gloating on having beat down the Heartless, and summoned his weapon, saying that he would do the honors. When he truned back around though, he came face to face with a very angry Heartless. Mirage grabbed him by the neck and threw him across the room, knocking down most of the students on the right. "Bring it on, pathetic humans!" He growled, lunging again.
