Alphonse let go of the Colonel and the Lieutenant, but it was no use. With that act, the darkness pulled them all in an instant, leaving Amestris to its destuction.
~~~
Goofy was right. In a final force, the world broke apart and in it's place nothing. Sora slammed his fists on the dash board. With fierce determination he exclaimed, "Alright then! Since that didn't work, we're going to Traverse Town! Let's go find that Key!"

Goofy nodded. "Yeah, maybe Leon will know something about the new key when we arrive." ~~~ When Ed walked through the door, saw that he was standing on yet another platform made entirely of stain glass. "Really?" Ed asked frustrated. He then walked forward and stopped, feeling like something was watching him. He looked around then noticed there was something weird about his shadow. It began to move and take a 3D form. Soon, facing him was a shadow Ed with glowing yellow eyes. "W-What is this?" Ed asked, backing away. The anti-Ed tilted it's head and stared at Ed for a moment before getting into a low crouch and lunging straight for him. (AND que the battle theme music! www.youtube.com/watch?v=_JUlNMAklhs XDDD I decided to do something different other than the giant heartless)

(( XD ))
Sora nodded to his friend and yawned again. Going back to his previous position, he began to drift off. Even Donald didn't yell at him for his feet on the dashboard. Soon, Sora was in a deep sleep...
------
In a grassy medow in a small farm country, a young blonde girl, just about Sora's age was playing with a big black and white dog with a prosthetic limb. As she danced and laughed, Sora grew more and more curious about her.
"What 'cha doin'?" He asked politely.
The girl stopped and pushed the bangs out of her eyes. "Huh? Who's there? I don't see anyone."
"I'm Sora! I just wanted to know what you're doing!"
"Well I'd tell you if you come out from hiding! Come on, this isn't funny!"
"I'm not hiding though and I'm not trying to annoy you on purpose."
The girl blinked. "Well... I'm just giving Den here some exercise. We can't let him get stiff on us."
"I noticed. Where are we anyway?"
"Duh! Resembool, of course! Are you stupid or something, Sora?"
"Nope, just never been here before. Where is this 'Resembool' though?"
"In the Eastern Province of Amestris. I'm guessing you're not from around here."
"Not at all! Say... Amestris? I was just heading there with my friends."
"Well, you made it." The girl shook her head, "What am I doing? Talking to a disembodied voice from nowhere!"
"I told you my name is Sora!"
"Uh-huh..." Suddenly, the girl turned her head past the rolling hills and back up towards the sky, "My Grandma Pinako's calling me in for supper. I have to go-"
"WAIT!! I never got your name!"
The girl smiled and replied simply, "Rockbell... Winry Rockbell..."
------
Sora's eyes popped open immediately after that. "What a strange dream..."

(Den's a boy doggy XDD)
Ed gasped as he fell backwards, blocking the anti-Ed's attack with his keyblade. He then swung his blade at the heartless and got to his feet, charging straight for his shadow with fury.
The shadow mimicked his attack and charged as well. The two attacks clashed together, making both figures fall back from the force. "Why you--!" Ed growled, ready to get back up on his feet, but suddenly felt himself sink as if he was being sucked into the floor. "What the--?" he said, looking down to see a black shadow form around him, sucking him in the floor. "G-Gah!!"
The anti-Ed just stood there, tilting it's head and staring at Ed being sucked into the ground as if it was enjoying this.
Ed struggled, trying to swim back up. Anything to keep himself from being consumed by the darkness, but it was no use. Then the voice appeared in his head again. Don't be afraid. Ed, now mostly covered by the darkness, let himself be sucked in.
(Where should we have the others end up? And should Roy and Riza stay together?)

"... Huh? Where am I? It's so dark in here... EDWARD!? BROTHER!? HELLOOO!!? ANYONE THERE!?" Alphonse was afraid to move. He couldn't see anything and was afraid that if he took a step, he might fall off of something. Ooh! I wish I wasn't such a chicken by being afraid of the dark! Where am I anyway? He pressed up against the wall behind him and an idea struck. "I can use alchemy to make some light in here!" He clapped his hands together and created a torch on the wall. He looked around and saw he was in a dark corridor. "Looks like some kind of castle... Where am I?" ~~~ Sora pointed off into the distance after his daze. "LOOK! THERE IT IS! JUST LIKE I REMEMBER IT!" Sure enough, there it was. Traverse Town. "Then what are we waiting for?" Donald replied, "Let's land this thing, Goofy!"

Goofy nodded. "Roger!" he said, pushing the gummi ship forward toward the familiar town.
~~~
Ed lied against a brick wall, moaning from the enormous headache he had. "I have to stop eating sweets before I go to bed..." he muttered, thinking he was dreaming. He then peeked his eyes open and blinked. "Huh...? Where...am I?" he asked and looked around. The town he was in looked nothing like Central. It was all brightly lit. Much smaller than a city though.
Ed moved his leg to get up, something hitting his foot as he moved. He stopped, seeing the keyblade lay beside him. "You're still here, huh?" he asked, picking up the blade. "Guess it wasn't a dream after all..." he muttered and got up. "Might as well look around and figure out where the hell I am. Maybe Al's here too..."
~~~
(I'm gonna have Riku be normal instead of in Ansem form or in his evil form XD)
Riku sighed as he walked down the corridors of the castle. He frowned, thinking about the bad memories that happened in this castle. The battle between him and Sora, both Sora and Kairi losing their hearts.
"So, Kairi...What are we doing here again?" he asked, his old memories completely erasing his memory of the task at hand.
"The King sent us here to look for the 4th key in case he's not at traverse Town," she said, walking along side him.
"Oh, right..." Riku muttered and continued walking. He missed hanging out with the King. That mouse was always running off in a hurry on his own. It was impossible to catch him. He then stopped and put a hand in front of Kairi to stop her as well.
"What is it, Riku?" she asked confused.
"There's a light further down the hall. I looks like someone's down that way..." he muttered, unsure if this person was a threat or not.
(Was that okay? I wasn't sure how to bring in Riku and Kairi.)

((Perfect! )) Sora stumbled off the Gummi Ship, typical of him tripping over his own feet in excitement. "Okay then!" He said as he put his right hand on his left tricep, "To the Fourth Key!" "Ahem!" Donald cleared his throat in annoyance. He looked at Sora with a stern gaze. "Uh... but first to Leon, yes? Huh... I didn't think he'd come back here after getting his home back. But I guess the others are looking out for that place." ~~~ Al gave a little squeak when he heard voices from down the hall. Someone was out there and he didn't know if they were friend or foe. Maybe if I stay REALLY still and quiet, they won't notice I'm here...

Riku and Kairi walked slowly down the hall, Riku's keyblade, way to dawn in his hands. They got to where the source of light was and stopped. "Guess I was mistaking. It was just this suit of armor holding a torch," he said and smiled. "Let's keep moving, Kairi," he said and began walking again, stopping to see her stare at the armor.
"There's something weird about the way this armor looks. Was this always here?" she asked, noticing that the suit of armor looked different from all the other ones in the castle.
Riku walked back and studied it. "Hmm...Now that you mention it, I don't remember this being here," he said and moved toward it, ready to take a peek inside.
~~~
Ed walked around finding a few chests that he successfully opened with his keyblade and taking the items inside. "I wonder if I should keeps these...They're not mine... I wonder what they are?" he muttered but shrugged, sticking the few potions in his pocket.
He then stopped, noticing someone standing next to a shop, staring at him. Ed shrugged, glaring at the man. 'Well, I am an outsider after all...' he thought to himself. 'Maybe he can help me.'
Ed then walked towards the man and got a better look at his face. He wasn't staring at him in particular, but the weapon he was carrying in his hands. 'Maybe he thinks I'm a threat?' "Um...excuse me? Could you tell me where I am?" he asked, hiding the keyblade behind his back.
"So...you're the fourth key," he muttered. His arms were crossed and he was leaning against the wall. His had slightly spiked brown hair and he was wearing leather clothes. On his face was a scar the ran across it in a straight line.
"Huh? I'm the what?" Ed asked confused.
"They'll come after you no matter where you go, as long as you hold the keyblade," the man muttered, closing his eyes, thinking of the time when he found Sora. 'I wonder if I should test him?'
Ed growled. "Look, buddy! I have no idea what you're talking about! Could you just tell me where I am, please, so I can get back home?" he asked, frustrated at this guy.

Alphonse whined quietly to himself and if he could cry, he would. Oh no! If they find my seal-! Oh! What would Ed do!? The armor began to shake as Riku moved closer to him. Don't open me up! PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF...!
~~~
"I'm SOOO bored... and hungry! There aren't even any Heartless around." Sora was getting restless, "When are we gonna find that guy? We don't even know what he looks like!"
"We knew who you were when we found you," Donald replied bluntly, "Stop whining, let's just find Leon!"

Riku stopped for a moment, his body stiffening. 'Why do I get this feeling someone's watching me?' he wondered and looked up at the armor's "face."
"What's wrong, Riku?" Kairi asked, shivering a bit. She had that feeling too.
"Nothing..." he muttered and opened up Al's chest plate, looking inside. "Well, there's no one in here...." he said about to close it when something caught his eye. "Wait...There's a marking here. It...looks like it's drawn in blood," he said, slowly reaching forward.
"B-Blood?" Kairi asked, her skin going a bit pale.
~~~
Leon sighed as he stood up straight. "So how well do you know how to use that thing?"
Ed was getting pissed off. This guy was completely ignoring his questions. "What, this? Well...I know I can kill those black creatures with it...and open up locks," he said and looked up at him. How did this guy know what this thing was anyway?
Leon then walked in front of Ed and pulled out his sword. "That's all I need to know..."
Ed's eyes widened slightly and he backed up a bit, holding his blade in front in case he attacked. 'Does this guy want to fight?'

"AAAAHHHH!!! DON'T TOUCH THAT!!" Alphonse screamed in panic. He closed himself up in a hurry and began to run. "I'M SORRY, I'M SORRY!!"
~~~
Sora suddenly stopped and turned around. He was already in the Second District when he heard the clang of metal on metal. "What's going on? Is someone fighting back there?"
"Maybe it's Leon!" Donald quacked. He knew how much the Gunblade wielder loved to spar.

Riku fell back in surprise the same time Kairi let out a loud shriek. "T-That armor moved!!" she cried, covering her mouth with her hands.
"I saw, Kairi! Come on, we can't let it get away! It could be a heartless!" Riku said standing up and chasing after it with his keyblade.
Kairi nodded and summoned her keyblade, Destiny Place, and followed closely behind Riku.
~~~
Ed did a back flip as Leon swung his sword at him, landing right in front of a wall. "Sh---!" Ed cursed and ducked as Leon's sword scrapped against the wall. Ed took this opportunity to drop kick him.
Leoon fell back surprised and caught himself, only to be smacked in the face with Ed's keyblade. 'Damn...This kid is a lot stronger than Sora was when I first met him...' he thought, wiping the blood away from his lip.
"I want some straight answers...Who are you?" Ed demanded.

"LEON!!" Sora cried as he raced through the gates dividing the First and Second Districts. He skidded to a halt and looked around. "Huh? Were are you? Where'd you go?"
Donald sighed. Sora always was bad at using his gut as a source of directions...
~~~
Alphonse made a straight dash towards the outside of where-ever he was. He skidded to a halt as he saw he was standing outside on a forum. He turned around and saw the large castle made of gears and machinary behind him. "WOAH!!" Looking back around he saw a small provinical yet modernized town and a gorge directly to the right of it. Where... Where am I? What is this place? Am I still in Amestris?

Riku ran outside, seeing the suit of armor straight in front of him. "Stop hertless!" he yelled, jumping to attack and bring his keyblade down on Al's head.
~~~
Leon heard Sora's voice and looked in that direction for a moment before turning back to look at the new keybearer.
Ed was slightly shaking and huffing. Leon was a tough opponent. "Why won't you answer me? And why are you attacking me?" he asked, not taking his guard down.
Leon stood up straight. "Hmph...You're definitely strong. That's good. It'll save you from the heartless. But you still have a lot to learn..."
Ed blinked. "Huh?" he asked and gasped. At first the man was standing before him and the next, he was beside him.
Leon whacked him hard in the head, making Ed pass out and fall to the ground. He stared down at him before looking up. "I'm over here, Sora!"

Heartless? Alphonse threw his hands up into the air and deflected the attack. "Wait! You don't understand! I'm not a heartless! I don't want to fight you!" He pushed Riku away and held his hands up in defense. "Please, I just want to find my brother and get out of this place!"
~~~
Sora ran into the direction of his friend... and tripped over Edward in the process. "Oof!" He picked himself up and looked at the swordsman, then at the person he tripped over, "Hey Leon! Who's this? And... uh... can you help us? We're looking for a 'Fourth Key'."
