They ran out of the building.

"Alright, guys. What are we going to do now?" Erik asked as they all got out of the building.

Hartman spoke up. "I suggest we split up again, but this time, Aqua and Erik come with me. We'll raid Marissa's base. Hanna, go with Terra."

"But father," Hanna protested.

"I'll be fine." Erik reassured. "With Hartman, I'll never go missing again."

"Terra." Aqua said. "Don't get into any trouble."

"I won't." And so, they split up. "Come on, Hanna." He gestured for her to start walking, and she did.

"Now, what to do?" Terra thought out loud. He looked around and saw a sign.

DON'T THINK TOUR
THE CHEMICAL BROTHERS LIVE NOW!

"Hey, Hanna. Look! The Chemical Brothers are performing live right now! Let's go!" Terra cheered excitedly.

Hanna gave him a look that said, "Are you serious?"

"Well, come on!" Terra said. So, reluctantly Hanna went along. They went inside to hear "Don't Think" playing. The red strobelights flashed a vibrant color.

There were people dancing all around, or maybe they were cops. Terra thought they might have been cops. But anyway, he was just dancing, and dancing... Oh no. They WERE cops!

This cop just looked at him, and there was no way to tell if he was really saying it, but all he kept saying was, "Don't think. Just let it flow." But there was no time to relax. Just ahead of them, a man stood up and started walking towards Terra and Hanna. He knew that guy was trouble. He tapped Hanna's shoulder and pointed to the guy. Several men entered the stadium, so they snuck outside.

But once they got out, one of the men followed them! He chased them all over until they came to a container park. Then they surrounded the two. So Hanna did what she was always good at doing. She beat the guys up. As she was doing this, Terra heard something... Whistling. It was Issacs. So Terra got Hanna out of there and they climbed on top of the train containers. It was then that Issacs started chasing them.

"You won't get away this time!" He yelled. They began jumping from one container to another. A machine started trying to get them off, but they were too quick. Issacs was not. He was hit, and he fell to his death. When Terra and Hanna got off the containers, Terra stopped. But Hanna kept going. Terra yelled for her to stop, but she jumped into the ocean.

"HANNA!" Terra yelled. He couldn't believe it. Why had she done this?

"Too bad she didn't help you." A voice said behind him. Marissa. "You aren't going to make it today. My employees are taking care all your other friends, and capturing Erik Heller."

"Not today." Seargant Hartman said confidently. Marissa turned around.

"What? How? You should be dead!"

"Well, we're not." Aqua stated. "Where's Hanna?"

"Uh, I'm sorry, but she jumped into the water."

" W-What?" Erik asked. His voice was shaking. "No." He said. "Not my girl."

"I'm afraid so." Marissa said, smug. "You've all failed."

"Not yet, we haven't." Hanna emerged from the water, staring straight at Marissa.

"Hanna!" Erik cried. Marissa turned to shoot Hanna, but she blocked it, kicking Marissa in the stomach. She fell on her back, angry. Hanna picked up Marissa's gun and pointed it towards her. "I just missed your heart." Bang.

"Woah!" Aqua yelled. "Hanna, you weren't supposed to kill her! We were supposed to take her to jail!"

But it was too late. Crying, Hanna ran towards her father.

"Listen, we can still help you." Hartman protested. "You won't have to go to court or anything."

"I... I think you've done enough. I'm sorry. We may need time to recover, but trust me, we will come back."

Erik left with his arm around his daughter, and everyone felt very sorry for them. But all they could do was go back home.

"We might as well tell Master Eraqus everything that happened." Hartman said.

"But we're still no closer to finding Ven." Aqua pointed out.

"That's alright. We'll get right back to our investigation once we've filled the master on everything." Terra replied.

They entered their home. "Master Eraqus! We're back!" Aqua called. There was no reply.

"Master?" Terra called. "Eraqus!" Hartman shouted. They started looking. They looked everywhere. They looked, and looked, and looked. But he was nowhere to be found.

"Where could he be?" Terra asked. "I think he's gone missing." Hartman observed. "Do you think he's in the same place that Ventus is?"

"It's a possibility. But where would they be?"

"Well, if they're both in the same place, they could be..."

"Trapped." Aqua finished. "There's only one person who would trap Master Eraqus."

"Xehanort." Terra concluded. "But he's ded. Then who..." He suddenly remembered the one name he hadn't thought of in a while. "Pennywise."

"The clown?" Hartman asked.

"Yeah. The clown."

"Well? What are we waiting for? Let's go save them!"

Without question, they all left together to find Ventus and Master Eraqus.
