Chapter 22 Destiny Islands

The portal open up and spit everyone out onto the sandy ground. "Wait Terra!" The portal closed before Ven could leap back through. "Ven wait." Azura grabbed his arm before he could activated his keyblade armor.

He turned it look at her. "Why?! Do you want me to stay here?!" Azura was taken it back a bit by this. "V-Ven listen." Ventus shook his head at her.

"Why should I?... You knew didn't you..... That I am a weapon." Azura looked away, which told him he was right.

"You did." Azura saw hurt flash in his blue eyes. "Why then? Why be my friend?" Ventus asked her. "If you knew the truth... then why?.. Why didn't you say anything about it?" He questioned her.

"I couldn't ok!" Azura snapped back her eyes meet his. "You don't understand Ventus." Azura fought back the wail in her throat.

"I thought you were my friend." Ventus whispered.

Azura took a step forwards, "leave, LEAVE me Alone!" This caused her turn away from him. 'He's really is upset,' she noted.

"I wish I told you or someone, all of you. I'm sooo sorry." Azura ran off leaving Ven to his accord.

Sleet and Shadow looked at the two before them. Sleet took off flying after Azura. The haven't seen them fight before and each wanted to help.

-line break-

Azura entered the other side of the island. Sleet flew to her feet as she stopped walking. The two stood at the edge of the deck. Sleet's icy blue eyes glanced up at her worried shone through his icy blue eyes.

She sat down pulling her knees to her chest. Wrapping her arms around her legs, then hurried her head in her arms.

'Don't... cry.' She told herself. Azura knew everything around her was falling apart.

"Why am I even here?" Azura whispered to herself.

Sleet cooed and walked up to her nudging her arm. "Go away." She told him not looking up at the young dragon. He moved in again cautiously this time . "GO!" Sleet jumps back with around wide eyes. With ears pined back he walked off looking back as she looked away from him. He looked away and took off.

-line break-

Ventus and Shadow stood in the same place. "Look who has shown up." Ventus looked to see Vanitas standing above him.

"I'm through with you." Ven told him. Shadow hissed. Ven turned and walked off.

"Well, I'm just getting started with you." Ventus kept walking not looking back to face Vanitas. He walked up the platform with Shadow at his heels.

"You're strong enough now to fulfill your purpose." Vanitas held his keyblade to his side. Ventus didn't bother to look back or stop walking.

"So what are you waiting for? Join with me right here and now." Vanitas offered him. "Become the X-blade."

"No. I won't do it." He glanced back. "He told me, the only way the X-blade can be forged is if you and me fight. Well guess what? I'm not fighting." Ventus told him.

'You used to be broken to fight back.' "Ahh!" Ventus held his head in pain. Shadow jumped looking at him, with wide eyes.

-line break-

Ventus stood in the badlands surrounded by neo-shadows. "Please don't do this master. I'm not strong enough." He yelled up to Master Xehanort. "No. It is because you are trying too hard to hold it in." The old man told his apprentice.

"Let the darkness impulse waken in the pit of your heart. Release them, here and now! Sharpen your fear into rage. You must! If you do not let the storm within you run its course, it will wipe you from the face of this world, make no mistake!" He told Ventus the heartless closed in on him.
