The Hidden Secrets of Kingdom Hearts Chapter 13

    *My name is Misatiha Liashi. My friends call me Misata. I am 14 years old, and you could say I ran away from home, but only to protect those that I care about there. Even though I did, there are people that I know that have died, or disappeared completely; like old man Chi and John.*
    *I am what is known as a Keyblade bearer, a person who is to protect and maintain the balance of the worlds'. Found out that Mom has been dead since I first went comatose, which was when I was four, and was replaced with a Nobody. A Nobody who's goal was to get close to me. Which makes me think that Organization XIII wants something from me, but I still have no idea what.*
    *Speaking of figuring things out, the voices I hear are actually the hearts that are inside the Heartless'. I can hear their hearts cry out in pain, and since my heart has been through much pain, I kind of just attract them. When I listen to them, their hearts pain slowly begins to disappear. I am not quite sure how I do it, but I do. And, when their heart becomes devoid of darkness, I see a bright flash of light.  Within that light I can see what form the heart once had, smiling, then they disappear, with the heart floating up into even brighter light. I still am not quite sure what I am doing, but it seems to be helping them and reducing the number of Heartless, which is the opposite of what Ansem wanted. Also, that birthmark that looks like a tattoo on my left arm, it warns me when there is something/someone that wishes to harm me is nearby. Which mainly is those in league with the Darkness.*

-----------------

    Misata had traveled to many worlds, saving people, and looking for Sora.  She now found herself once again at Radiant Gardens. Though, her instincts, and birthmark were warning her of danger, she felt that something good might come out of this day.
    Since Misata could feel a lot of danger, and yet see none, she decided to go see Leon and the others where she had met them the first time. When she entered the building, no one could be seen.
    "Helloooo. Anyone here?"
    No answer.
    Misata then walked up to the unattended computer she remembered Cid sitting at. She noticed that there were plans displayed on it. That of the renovating castle and ... an offensive plan? It appeared that everyone was planning an offensive against the castle with a Heartless symbol on it. From the plans, Misata was able to tell that the renovated castle was their main base, that the assault was going to begin soon, and that she and Sora were considered wild cards? Misata didn't know why, but she guessed it might be because they could not confirm whether or not either her, or Sora would show.
    After memorizing the assault plan, she decided to go ahead and meet everyone on the battle ground. As Misata was walking on the only road to the castle, there was a split in the road going left and right, with right going to the castle. Though to the left, there seemed to have been a wall there once, but was now replaced with a sturdy wall made out of scraps of material. But, from Misatas current position, she could easily jump over it.
   Which is what she was going to do, until she felt something. The dark presence that was radiating off of the Heartless castle increased. Just as quickly as the dark presence increased, did the number of Heartless appear all around the Heartless castle, and in the valley between it and town. Just as quickly as this occurred, a bell began to ring at the renovated castle, and it was easily seen that the town security system had been upgraded and put into full defensive mode. Not only that, but Misata was able to see people already on the other side of the wall, heading to the valley to fight.
    "Darn, looks like I am late to the party" Misata said, with a slight smile appearing on her face.
    With that, Misata jumped over the wall, ready to join the fight.

---------------

    From Misata's memory, the plan was to get to the Heartless' castle as fast as possible, so that it could be destroyed. But to do so, they had to rush the Heartless and only focus on what was in front of them. It also appeared the Heartless were not too concerned with the assault team that was charging through their ranks. Instead, they seemed focused on her, something in town, and another spot on the battlefield. 
    Every now and again, Misata could see a Heartless or two suddenly be sent flying, or magic being cast at that other spot on the battlefield. She guessed that it was another assault group. But, with the spot in town that the Heartless seemed occupied with, the town security system wouldn't even let a single Shadow slip through. Though Misata was curious about the two spots, and what it was that had the Heartless' attention, she focused on the Heartless that would not leave her alone. When it became difficult for her to maintain her offensive rush, she would jump up, and straight ahead into another group of Heartless, but not without clearing the area with a little magic while in the air.
    This continued for some time, with Misata beginning to come to her limit.
    *This is really difficult to do by myself.*
    *...*
    *Wait, I am not alone. Though, I do hate asking them to do this.*
    Misata quickly stood in a defensive position, taking any strike that came at her.
    *Please, friends, hear me. I ask for your assistance.*
    *'Friends. Friends.'*
    With that response, the Heartless in the immediate area stopped attacking and slowly moved back as holes of darkness began to appear, forming a ring around Misata. From these holes, Heartless appeared, though their eye color was not yellow, but red.
    "You think you guys can buy me some time?"
    *'Yes. Yes.'*
    "Alright, just don't go getting yourselves hurt or killed for my sake."
    The Heartless did not respond, but she felt a wave of approval, or acceptance of the statement and began to fight the other Heartless. While Misata was resting, she noticed that the second assault group had pushed further ahead, and that what attracted the Heartless to the town seemed to actually be a someone. Misata figured this since the spot those Heartless were attracted to was now on the battlefield behind her. The longer she looked at that spot, the more nervous and worried she became, yet she did not know why. At this point of the battle, there was no turning back. So, after Misata caught her breath, she began pushing forward, in sync with the Heartless that she had summoned.

---------------

    Misata was taking her second breather within the circle of Heartless she had summoned. Her and her Heartless had gained speed and caught up with the second assault group. They were about half way through the valley, with the main assault group almost at the Heartless castle. What ever, or who ever, was in the group that was behind her made her nervous. For some reason, she couldn't help but worry about that group, even while she was fighting. She knew she should consider it a distraction, but her instincts told her that she should not ignore it. As she began to ponder about it more, she felt her birthmark begin to burn. She quickly pushed everything out of her mind to focus on the pain. She felt that something, an attack, was going to come from behind. Misata quickly turned around with her Keyblade in a blocking position.
    "KLANG"
    What had hit her Keyblade appeared to be a bullet made of energy.
    *Wait! I know this attack!*
    Quickly, Misata looked up at the source and saw that a small portal had disappeared.
    "Damn it! Come out and fight me Organization XIII! Especially the blue-haired guy! I am going to pay you back for what you did to the old man!" yells Misata.
    "Now, what would be the fun in that?" said a voice that Misata recognized.
    *Eye-patch. Where are you hiding?!"
    Misata then begins looking for the man with the eye-patch. Not with just her eyes, but her instincts as well. After some time, and blocking of more bullets, which just made Misata angrier since she knew he was only playing with her again, she had a feeling where he was. She quickly pushed in the direction in which she felt his presence...or so she thought. Instead of the man with the eye-patch, she found the blue-haired man.
    *How did I mix their presences up? Oh who cares. This works out just perfectly.* Misata thought, with a slight dark smile appearing on her face.
    "I am going to get you back for killing the old man." 
    With that statement, Misata had a dark aura begin to surround her. Misata didn't notice since she was so angry, but there was a slight smile that appeared on the blue-haired mans face.

------------------

    Misata and the blue-haired man had been fighting for what felt like hours to Misata, which it could have been for all she knew. As their fight continued, the darkness that was surrounding Misata continued to grow since she kept getting angrier and frustrated as the fight continued.
    The blue-haired man was currently swinging his weapon, which appeared to be a Claymore, and Misata was ready to intercept, when something covered in fire intercepted instead. The blue-haired man jumped back when his attack was intercepted, and he appeared quite angry. Misata was not sure what was going on, but she saw that the 'fire ball' was returning towards her. Just before it reached her, a hand came from behind her to grab it. The fire disappeared to reveal a weapon, a chakram from its appearance.
    Misata felt the person behind her bend down, and say in her ear, "Don't let the Darkness overtake you."
    "This has nothing to do with you!" she hissed back.
    "It has more to deal with me than you think Misata."
    The man walks out from behind Misata to stand next to her. Misata was then able to see that this man wore the same black coat as the members of Organization XIII.
    "Lea."
    *Lea?! Why does that name sound so familiar?*
    "Isa."
    With that, the blue-haired man, identified as Isa, and the hooded man, identified as Lea, began fighting one another.
    *There is no way I am letting this guy stop me from fighting X-face, or Isa, or whoever he is.*
    With that thought, Misata joins in the battle. She aims for Isa, though that caring to work together with Lea either. Though, whenever a powerful attack was aimed at Misata, Lea would jump in to block it. This got on Misata's nerves.
    The fighting continued this way for awhile. Suddenly, all three stopped fighting for a moment due to an increase in loud noise near them. When Misata looked, she was able to tell it was the second assualt team. They, for some reason, had moved towards where the three were currently fighting. When Misata looked back at Isa, she saw that he was leaving towards a portal.
    "Don't you dare leave yet! I am not through with you!"
    "By all means, jump into the Darkness."
    "Misata! No!" Lea says, grabbing her arm as she tries to follow Isa through the portal he summoned.
    Misata quickly broke Lea's grip, but was too late to follow Isa as his portal closed. When this happened, Misata yelled up at the sky in anger. The Darkness surrounding her growing in intensity, which the Heartless that she summoned seemed to be affected by it, though slight. Misata then decides to give chase by continuing her way through the valley quickly, without any regard to her well being, and instincts. By doing so, she left everyone behind to fend off the Heartless in the valley alone since her Heartless disappeared when she left.

---------------

    Misata had gotten to the other side of the valley, with many wounds on her. But, she completely ignored the pain. Instead, she enjoyed it. Deep down inside, she knew she shouldn't be thinking this and that the Darkness was the cause for her feeling this way, but she didn't care. She actually started enjoying the feeling and power that the Darkness was giving her.
    Misata was also trying to catch her breath since she didn't take a single break since she came charging to the other side of the valley. On the way here, she had noticed that the main assault team had not made it this far. Actually, they started being pushed back. Misata didn't care about the plan anymore. All she wanted to do was get payback for the death of Chi, and she will do anything to do it.
    "Misata?"
    Misata held her breath. *I-I know this voice. But how-?* 
    As Misata turns around, all the anger inside her quickly vanishes, as does the Darkness. It was instead replaced with shock, and deep down inside, happiness.
    "Ticaro?"
