The Keyblade War Chapter I

Chapter Twenty Seven: A Forgotten Past, Remembered

Xylek calmly goes through the portal while carrying the unconscious Kyle over his shoulder. Now the war is in their favor, and he can't help but smile. Now the Keyblade Bearers hopes of claiming victory are growing fainter and fainter. He looks over to Kyle and then he steps out of the portal and into the mysterious fortress of his companions. He approaches inside and finds the Mysterious Figure waiting at the door.

Mysterious Figure: So, you finally managed to capture him. I must congratulate you on your accomplishment. The Master will be most pleased.

Xylek: Thank you. And yes, I was finally able to get him. But the most surprising thing is that he still doesn't remember anything of his past. But it's better this way. This way he'll be more easier to control.

Mysterious Figure: Don't be too sure. If we are to unlock the Four Spirits of Legend, then we have to have his vast knowledge of them if we are to awaken them. For this, he must have full recovery of his memories.

Xylek: Are you sure? Can't we just extract his inner power and awaken the Spirits by ourselves.

Mysterious Figure: If we were to do that, we would kill him in the process. His inner power is connected to his heart and soul. If we were to strip that power away from him, he would perish. Let's just take him to The Master and see what he says.

Xylek: Agreed.

Suddenly another portal opens and Xion steps through it.

Xylek: Ah, so you've come back. But you've failed your mission. I already got Kyle. You should be ashamed of yourself.

Xion: Shut up you pathetic swine! I don't have to answer to you!

Xylek: Ah, such fire in you. You are quite the feisty one.

Xion: Don't make me kill you.

Mysterious Figure: Enough! Stop bickering like children. Let us take Kyle to The Master.

And so they walk through the corridors of the castle, all the while walking by more members of their group. They ascend the floors of the castle and reach the throne room, where The Master awaits. Shadows cast over the room, and The Master's face is concealed by his hood. As soon as they enter the room, they bow down before him.

Mysterious Figure: Master, we have come.

The Master: You may rise.

Xylek: We brought you the boy, as promised.

The Master: Good. Xion, awaken the boy.

Xion: Yes Master!

She goes towards Kyle and stands over him and kicks his face violently. Kyle awakens with a gasp and soon flinches and stands up, looking around him, trying to find out where he is.

Kyle: Where am I?

The Master: Be calm child. No harm will fall upon you. You are safe here.

Kyle: W-what are you talking about?

Mysterious Figure: Be silent.

Xylek: Now then Master, concerning the awakening of the Four Spirits...

The Master: To achieve that Xylek, we must recover Kyle's memories. Only he knows where he sealed them off.

Kyle: Sealed off? What do you mean?

Xion: You have the power to unlock deadly Spirits. But right now we have to force the memories to you so that you can unlock them.

Kyle: I don't know what you're talking about! Even if I did remember anything, I wouldn't help you!
