Sora, Donald, Goofy, Rue, and Violet
======
The group walked through Twilight Town, scanning high and low for any sign of Lelie. They stopped when they heard a panicked scream.
"Help!" a small person yelled. "The sandlot! It's Seifer! Somebody please help us!" The group silently watched as the being ran past them, and out of sight.
"That doesn't sound good," Violet said, Chester purring and rubbing against her leg. The rest of the group nodded in agreement and ran in the direction the small being from earlier came from.
They ran into a small square, where three kids were being attacked by Dusks. Two of them were unconscious, the other nearly so. Sora stepped in front of him, summoning his Keyblade.
"We'll take it from here!" he announced, the rest of the group stood beside him. Rue and Donald summoned their staffs. Goofy's shield appeared, and Violet grabbed her pole, turning it into a large pink bazooka. Even Chester morphed into the form of a large wolf, growling at the Dusks.
The boy grabbed his half-conscious friends and ran. Meanwhile, Sora and the others easily dispatched of the Dusks. A clapping sound arose from behind them. A tall Organization member stood behind them, hood up and face hidden.
"Impressive," he admitted in a monotone voice. "By the way, have you seen a man named Axel? I expect he's here somewhere."
Sora growled. "Like I care." He raised his Keyblade again, preparing for a battle
"You see, Axel's no longer acting in our best interest. And with one of our members only recently returning, we need to make sure he's taken care of," the man explained.
"Is he in the Organization, too?" Goofy asked.
"I'm guessing so, because I don't know why these guys would care otherwise," Rue snarled.
"Yes, you are correct," the man said.
"You havin' a fight?" Donald asked.
Sora chuckled. "Not a very organized Organization."
The man pointed at him. "Don't let your guard down," he warned. "Axel and Lelie will stop at nothing to turn you into a Heartless."
"Lelie?" Violet repeated. "Why would she want to do that?"
The man gave a half-hearted laugh. "You'd be surprised."
Sora growled. "Gee, thanks for looking out for us, mister. But I'm sure Lelie wouldn't do that. And besides, we can take care of ourselves just fine."
"Glad to hear it," the man replied. "Axel and Lelie aside, it would break our hearts to hear something happened to you."
Rue scoffed. "What hearts? You don't have hearts."
"True, we don't have hearts," the man said, reaching up to pull his hood down, revealing a scarred face with long, blue hair. "But we remember what it was like. That's what makes us special." A Dark Corridor appeared behind the man.
"Whaddya mean?" Violet asked, raising an eyebrow.
"We know very well how to injure a heart," the man explained. "Sora, you just keep on fighting those Heartless." Chester growled from beside the twins, agitated at the Nobody's presence.
"Let's jump in after him!" Sora proposed quietly, so the man wouldn't hear him.
"Uh, why?" Rue asked.
"I'm not sure, but maybe he'll lead us to the Organization's world," Sora whispered back.
"Don't be reckless," the man said. "Do you want to end up like Riku and Lelie?"
