The War Against Radiant Garden Part 2

"Slater!" Lea called from behind. He caught up to them. "Who's this?" Aqua asked. "A new friend of mine, who quit the organization. He's here to help now." "Okay, Slater. You need to wear the coat I gave you to protect yourself of the Lanes Between. Got it memorized?" Slater nodded.

He walked into the door, a light shone, but darkness flew out. He suddenly fell to the ground, and became unconscious.

When he woke up, he found himself lying on a stone floor, staring at the ceiling. He saw a boy and two others rush past him when he looked up. Where did Aqua go?

He started to walk around.

There was a huge castle, the one in Radiant Garden, but ruined. Was this a portal to the past? He seemed to recognize it. There was a strange energy inside. He decided to walk in.

As he walked in, he noticed a man in a black coat. "You!" He yelled. It echoed through the castle. "How do you wear the coat!" He asked back, once again echoing. The figure started to laugh. He ran towards Slater. "What the- no!" The man walked right through him. His mind was filled with terrible memories, that werent his, his eyes dark, people yelling, louder, louder louder, louder.. He fell to the ground. He was panting, a tear was dripping from his right eye. "What?" he asked. The hooded figure threw an electrical ball towards him. He looked up, and blocked it with his keyblade. It pushed back with incredible force. He wasnt strong enough! An electrical current was going through the keyblade. It shocked him, and he dropped the keyblade. The electrical ball blasted him to the wall.

He heard a big crack, and fell to the hard ground.

When he woke up, he saw the man holding his keyblade. He was pointing at Slater. "Don't change the future." He said. "Get real!" He flipped over the man, and grabbed his Keyblade back. He was up in the air, this was his chance! The man didn't have a weapon, this would be easy. With a downward slice, he heard the man make a sound like he had been hit, only to look and find two red gleaming blades blocking his attack. "How!" he cast reflect. Balls of light shot out after. The figure had two beam sword, slashing around slater. He evaded and blocked, casting fire to burn him. He was open. Time to finish it! He mashed his keyblade as hard as he could down on the beam sword. The figure blocked, and threw his keyblade away to the other side of the room. He ran for it.

The man dissapeared, reappearing right onfront of his keyblade, holding one of the swords in pace of the blade, and one to his neck. "There's no escape now!"
