Kingdom Hearts: Light within the ink

Chapter 3: Around every corner

Ventus opened a door which led to another hallway after having chosen one of the two splitting paths.

'I have to stop him.'

Having interacted with Vanitas has put him in a very worried state, concerned that Vanitas will find a way to hurt Aqua and Terra.

As he was speed walking around, he passed by a few hallways before interacting with a door that led into another hallway.

'How many hallways are there?!'

Ventus thought has he started to get a bit impatient.

He began to speed walk towards the end of the hallway only to be caught off guard by a random cardboard of a devil like cartoon character popping up.

"...!"

Ventus pulled out his keyblade as he saw this as a threat at first before managing to calm himself down.

Once he calmed himself down, he went to check on where the cardboard cartoon had popped up from.

As he reached the hallway, he saw that Boris was standing on the door to the next area.

"Boris!"

Boris looked at Ventus and just waved at him, showing that he was happy to see the young boy. Ventus smiled as he saw that his ally was alright.

"Good to see you here, I was getting worried something might've happened to you."

"..." Boris just nodded at Ventus, appreciating the boy's worry about him. Ventus turned his attention towards the door behind Boris, prompting him to ask,

"Where does the door lead?"

Boris just stood silent, not being able to respond. It took a couple of seconds before remembering that Boris doesn't speak.

"Sorry...let's just keep going."

Boris nodded to this and quickly went to open the door.

As they go through onto the next area, the duo find themselves in a room filled with shelves and ink on the ground.

The keyblade wielder felt uncomfortable being in this area, sensing a strong ties to darkness.

He slowly walked around the room with Boris walking by his side, being on guard as well.

Upon observing the room, Ventus found that in most of the shelves there were plushies of three specific characters, Boris, Alice Angel, and some other character with devil-like horns.

Some of these plushies varied in size along with the devil plushie having a clock version of itself.

After a bit of exploring, he and Boris left the room and started to make their way into another long hallway.

"This place sure loves their hallways." Ventus spoke as he started to notice how tedious the studio is with their long hallways.

As he explored around, he noticed a fuse box that was connected by two different levers, one close by to them and another that seemed to be far off.

"Seems like we will need to split up." The Keyblade Wielder said, having figured that this would be the outcome. "You can do this one, I'll do the other one."

Boris nodded at the boy before making his way towards the lever close by. Ventus nodded back at him before making his way towards the other lever.

While doing this, he was thinking about how Boris reminded him of Goofy for some reason.

'They share a similar...feeling...'

This thought would eventually leave his mind as he finds himself in another hallway though one that doesn't seem to have an exit since at the end of it had a poster of the butcher gang.
