When they arrived at the Academy, Chris was trying to keep himself balanced. "That was crazy." He said, after regaining his compsure. Then he remembered why they were there. "Come on! We got stuff to do!" he said, hopping ahead, motioning for the other two to hurry.

Ray stumbled around, sickened by the ride. He released the contents of his stomach onto the floor and dropped to one knee. He panted and gasped for air, the mode of transportation had upset his entire body.
-------
Karas helped Ray up. "Master Ryder, do you even know which Training Hall we are going to?" asked the impostor and before Chris could answer. "We need to rest for a second, can't you see that Ray isn't prepared to move on yet? Those who travel through Halls of Light for the first time usually are sick afterward, you need to be careful before you just start running around."

Chris look a little upset at what Karas had said. "Sorry... I'm just a little eager to get going... That's all..." His voice was sad and sincere. However Chris had looked away from the building just in time to miss Mirage look out the window then jump up away from it, dissapearing in an instant.

"I-I'm alright, Master Karas." panted Ray, wiping the excess vomit from his lips. "I'm as ready as you are."
-------
"Very well. Come, follow me." said the Keyblade Master as he rushed passed Chris with Ray behind him.

Chris lagged behind the two, suddenly not as enthusiastic about it. Part of it was because he felt bad for trying to rush Ray. The other part though was totally diffrent. A bad feeling about the events before then had hit him suddenly. He was almost sure that nothing would happen, but that feeling still nagged him in the back of his mind.

The men ran through the halls, Karas leading them left, right, right, left, then right again, until they came to a set of doors. Karas and Ray pushed the large doors open, revealing the Training Hall, with Keyblades scattered along the floor, as well as signs of battle.
-------
"Heh, so you finally decided to show up, huh?" snickered a voice. Suddenly, the man with the chains that they had met in the courtyard of Hollow Bastion dropped from the ceiling, his huge grin disturbed Ray slightly.

"We were begining to think you might never show up." Another voice said. Mirage dropped down from the rafters on the ceiling, landing beside his comrade.
~~~~
Chris jump when the two great Heartless come seemingly out of nowhere. Both Keyblades suddenly formed in his hands. "What are you two doing here?!"

"Oh, just to kill you and take your hearts, not really anything special." chuckled the larger of the Heartless.
-------
Ray summoned both his weapons. "Like Hell you will! Just who are you?"
-------
"You mean you don't know, what an idiot!" roared the bound man. "Don't really see the point in telling you, you're just going to die anyway, but oh well. I guess you can know it so you can beg for mercy before I choke the life out of you." He raised his hands up. "I am Stark, the Seventh Eternal Black."

Chris gave a almost dark smirk. "Oh then you'll be no problem. You are apprently weaker than him!" The smirk quickly faded and he shook his head. That's the first time I've felt Darkness in a long time... ever since... wait a minute! He thought before turning quickly to Mirage. "You! You are... You are my Darkness. My Heartless. I can't remember who ripped you out, but that's why you looked so fimilar."
~~~~
"And yet, you feel the Darkness even now. Wow, Ray what does that say about your next Grand Master? The future of the Light isn't looking so good!" Mirage taunted.

"Go to Hell!" shouted Ray, his own Darkness flaring for a short instant. "There can't be Light without Dark, one would be an idiot to think otherwise. There's no point in trying to completely snuff out the Darkness, it's impossible. But you Heartless, manifestations of other's Darkness, you must be purified."
-------
"Then bring it on!" taunted Stark, then turning to his superior, "The red-head is mine. You can have your pal there, sound like a deal?"

"Sound fair!" Mirage chimed.
~~~~
Chris lunged at Mirage before he could get ready, slashing at him with True Light's Flight. Mirage was faster though. He brought Corrupted Faith up to block, then summoned the Neokey and triped Chris with it. "Little faster next time."

"C'mon, Heartless, let's do this." said Ray, taking his defensive battle stance. He had no idea how Stark would attack him. He had no visible weapons, although Ray was sure he could summon something. Karas took up a stance next to Ray and shot him a glance that meant he was going to fight with him.
-------
"It's your funerals!" shouted the Heartless, his dark eyes gleaming. He shot his chains out at them, taking them by surprise. One chain wrapped around Ray's Void Seeker and Karas' Oblivion. The men got jerked around the room by Stark, who laughed manically the entire time, smashing them into walls, the floor, and into the ceiling.

Chris was a little startled by Stark's laughter, givig Mirage a another open attack. He rushed at Chris, jumping as he got to him. Neokey was swung quickly, hitting the Light Wielder's head, and Corrupted Faith was used to choke him as Mirage landed.
~~~~
Chris couldn't breath and his vision was starting to go dark. "H-help!" he managed to get out. Slowly he could feel life slipping away from him. Was this the end?

Ray heard his friend's cry for assistance. He released Void Seeker, which was still wrapped up, dropped down, taking Stark by surprise, kicked the Heartless in the stomach, sent Fall of the Evening Star spinning toward Mirage, caught the now falling Void Seeker, and turned back to Stark, who was laying on the ground.
-------
Karas landed on his feet and instantly took his stance once more. "Be prepared, Stark, I will come at you with what seems like a strong attack, just parry me for a bit, let Ray go to Chris' aid, with each passing second, the boy's Darkness grows."
-------
"You got it, Karas." Stark stood back up, his sheer size dwarfed both of his adversaries. "Lucky hit." he smiled, his teeth never disappeared from sight.
