"What?" He saw Pete on the warpath, charging literally through the Heartless, swinging his fists rapidly. "Oh, PERFECT. He can't stand them not being HIS Heartless attacking us!" Ryan got in Pete's way as the large cat reached them. "You better not try anything..."
"Kid, it's your lucky day..." Pete said as he joined their side for the time being.
"Get...off!" Ryan threw the Shadow off him, jumped over the group, and landed next to Kaori. "You hear this, you jack?!" Ryan yelled in case Jaaku was watching, "You got Kairi but you aren't getting Kaori! You hear me?!" he swung at the Heartless.
MEANWHILE...
Pete watched from afar. "HEH-HEH-HEH! That's right! Get 'em!" He paused. "...Hey, waita--THOSE aren't my Heartless!" He charged towards them...
"RRRR! I knew we couldn't trust that sunnuva--AGH!" He began to mow down the Heartless. "GET-OUT-OF-THE-WAY!" Suddenly, a Heartless fell from the sky, landing on Ryan. "YOW! What the heck was that?"
Ryan broke the silence. "...We'd better find the King. He'll probably know what to do, provided he's found anything..." Seeing Kaori's expression, Ryan put a hand on her shoulder in an attempt to comfort her.
Ryan began to follow them out, but stopped to point his Keyblade at Jaaku, the golden star at the tip shining. "You..." He said, "This ain't over..." He followed his friends out, and boarded the Gummi Ship.
Ryan sighed and gripped his unnamed Keyblade tightly. "Kaori...even IF you can trust him...Gilxous...you can't trust the Dark Lord, or whoever he is. He'll kill the both of 'em when he's reached his goal. I don't know what that goal is, but this I DO know."
