Riku immediately leapt into the rift, going into a free fall as this rift was leading both to the mysterious place. For a moment of blacking out, they would find themselves in the empty hallways.

As Sora did that, Kaika sprinted towards Sota, seeing that he had some minor injuries already. When the Thunder spell hit the stake, it fell to the ground motionless. Yet, there was a voice coming out of the stake, saying,"Ow! That hurt!" suddenly, the stake was surrounded in golden energy, and was suddenly transformed into a girl with brown hair and red eyes. "You guys are tricky targets! But it only makes this hunt even more challenging for me," the girl says in frustration, but was still determined on attacking the trio. A purple energy blade manifesting on this girl's arm, she rushed towards Sora at almost the same speed as her stake form.

"Kaika, thank god you're alright..." Sota said once she ran over to him. "Well, you don't seem like you're alright," Kaika said as she shifted into her partial mode, seeing that Sora might need help against this girl who is also the stake that attacked them earlier. "Stay put here, I'll treat your injuries soon. Promise," Kaika said to him as she managed to generate a force field around him. Summoning her pink energy blade to her hand, Kaika quickly ran to see if there was any way to help Sora.
