#Act 1: Forgotten
##Chapter 1: Arrival in the World That Never Was

---

*"Hey, newbies! Get up and get ready. The Heartless could be here at any moment."* said the young woman in blue and white clothing. The shadows seemed to be reaching out towards the group almost as if they were living. Then, as if from thin air, three Shadows... no more, more kept coming from the shadow. By the time the shadow receded, eight Shadows were standing in front of the group staring with their bright eyes at the Nobodies. It seemed as if they might pounce at any moment but they never moved from their position and only.. stared. It was as if they were waiting for commands. Gail ran towards the nearest heartless and punched at it.. only for her gauntlets to make contact with a man's hand instead of the body of the Heartless.

*"Tsk, tsk girl. Don't you know? You should never pick a fight unless provoked. Then again, that is what you do after all.. pick a fight. You were just itching to kill that poor Shadow. Just hoping that maybe, just maybe, it would the heartless who has your heart. It isn't surprising that you want to be a Whole again. Who doesn't?"* said the figure, an obvious male as one could tell by his broad shoulders, as he lifted Gail and threw her back towards the group. Gail land with a resounding thump which caused dust to rise up in a large cloud.. By the time Gail was standing once more, the male was gone but his voice wasn't. *"Be careful Nobodies, we don't want you dying do we?"*  answered the voice of the male. 

As the voice faded away, the eight Shadows moved towards the group of Nobodies. They acted as one as they slinked slowly across the ground. As if on command, the Shadows leapt towards the group hoping to catch them before they could draw their weapons. Gail was up on her feet before the Shadows had noticed it and managed to punch one as it was falling towards the group. Two Shadows moved as one to attack Gail as the one she punched stood back up and grappled onto her. The other five Shadows moved to attack the others, though tentatively after seeing Gail punch one of them already.
