Caius immediately entered the fray as the creature hit the ground, and Eden ran in after him. If anything were to go wrong Eden would be responsible, this kid had no formal training but being chosen by the keyblade he didnt have much choice. Eden was very glad that Caius had stepped up to help save his world and did not hesitate in the face of danger, these were truly traits that led to him being chosen by the keyblade. His thoughts were interrupted as Caius was sent flying back with a crash, normally Eden would run to the rescue, but there was a more immediate threat at hand, the creature began to charge at the winded boy and Eden had to intercept it. He dashed toward the monster and delivered a powerful spinning strike on the enemy, the monster's head reeled in annoyance, smashing against the entrance of the library, and it now had Eden in it's sights.
The Heartless' face was now marred by a large crack cause by Eden's attack, the crack crossed its face, like a fissure from an earthquake, from its eye to its mouth. Flames began to leak from the crack and it was inhibiting the heartless view. Definitely a small victory for the duo, but if he didn't end this soon, this whole world would wash away with the darkness, it would become nothingness. Eden witnessed, from the edge of his vision, a bright light glowing from a new crack in the mural, and he immediately knew what it had to be, or at least what he hoped it would be. With a plan in mind Eden charged the Heartless as it charged at him, the creature roared with flames burning at the sides of its mouth. Just as they were going to meet one would have assumed Eden would be snatched up by its mouth, but instead he slid just underneath its jaw and swung his keyblade up catching the monster in it's throat and continuing his slicing motion as far as he could. The monster leaped up in pain only to smash against the mural, the mural now falling away in pieces.
Light radiated from the now empty square, the light powerful enough to halt the approaching darkness and to annihilate the monster they had been locked in combat with. When the light began to fade, it was clear to see what had originally lied behind the mural, a large keyhole that led to this worlds heart. Eden wasted no time and pointed his keyblade at his objective, the light of the keyhole lifted him slowly into the air until he was level with it. Once there a bright pinpoint of light shot from the tip of his key and very audible locking noise was heard. As the tone echoed throughout the collapsing town, the darkness just dissolved and the world was returned to its original state albeit for all the structural damage that was spread world-wide. Not only did the buildings return but people began to pop back into existence, this really made Eden smile.
Eden approached Caius slowly and full of exhaustion, this was his first true moment of rest since his world was lost. All those people, his master, the man who raised and trained him for nearly as long as he could remember. He was lost forever now, Eden would never be able to thank him for all he did nor would he be able to guide him anymore, Eden was the closest thing to a master that existed now. A small tear rolled down his cheek but he shook the thought and looked at Caius, "Caius, you fought valiantly and if not for your help this world wouldn't be here now. As a fellow keyblader I welcome you to our ranks. I must be on my way, but before I do I want to invite you to join me. As a keyblader you and me are the only ones with the power to save all the worlds, it is your responsibility, but I cant force you to accept that. I can only ask, and hope that you will. If you join me, I wont lie, you may not see your home in a very long time and it is bound to be extremely dangerous. What I can offer you though is training, and my friendship." Eden extended his hand towards Caius. "What do you say, Caius? Will you help me fight?"
