Things were happening too fast and Terra found himself growing dizzy. Was it from the intense battle that had just ended? Was it trying to comprehend just what Xehanort was telling him? Was it the realization that Ven might be...might be...? He couldn't finish the thought, a combination of not wanting to complete it and his pounding head. What was going on? How had it all come to this? He looked back at Xehanort who was saying something and pointing his own keyblade at his chest. What? No, this couldn't be happening. Terra's eye widened at Xehanort's actions. Time seemed to slow as Terra brought his hand up to his armor and at the same time closed his eyes against the dizzying sensation overtaking his body. He felt like he was falling and thought, 'This is it. I've failed.'
However, the sensation of the headache and dizzy spell seemed to fade and Terra felt like himself still. The only difference now was that he was fully armored (he must have gotten to the activating panel in time) and on his back. His surroundings felt different somehow as well. Terra's eyes fluttered open beneath the mask of his helmet and he was greeted by the sight of a large structure looming over him. He blinked, several thoughts going through his head at once, the foremost being 'What was this and what was going on?' He sat up quickly, hand tightening around his keyblade and using it to push himself up, his head still pounding and dizzy.
It was clear to him that he was on another World now. The eerie blue light of Kingdom Hearts and the desolate plains of the Keyblade Graveyard were replaced by gray clouded sunshine and gray stone and metal buildings and a Winter cold. That was obvious to him but what was a mystery was how he had ended up in this place. Had Xehanort done something? Had the fight just been another of his strange, erratic visions? No, he didn't think so...it had been far too real and he could still feel the soreness in his limbs from the fight.
Seeing no immediate threat, Terra dismissed the body armor and keyblade before he took a few cautious steps forward, peering out from the metal structure. There was no Xehanort waiting for him just around the structure but there was also no other presence either. The area was empty and as he moved forward not even Unversed rose to greet him. He was troubled on many levels and stopped to again ponder how he may have gotten here and the events leading up to it. Nothing was making any sense and he felt as though he was missing something. Dropping his hand from his chin, he looked out at the buildings rising up, "There must be people out there who can answer my questions or at least direct me to someone who can." He had to find out if this was somehow Xehanort's doing. If maybe he had misunderstood something about what was happening and instead of being consumed he had been blasted somewhere to further harness his darkness.
Terra's hand clenched into a fist. He could still feel the residual effects of the darkness he had channeled in his rage and anger at Xehanort. The man had manipulated him to no end and just thinking about him made Terra bubble inside with anger he couldn't quite explain. Thankfully, the darkness did not manifest around him, though he half expected it to after he had channeled it in those final moments. Terra dropped his head, he had to stop this. He had told Aqua he would not go astray again and it was looking like she had been right and that he would. What had happened to her and Ven anyway? Were they okay or had Vanitas done his job? Terra shuddered at the thought and he brought his head up again with a renewed determination. First thing was first, he would find his answers and then he would return to that place to find his friends and hopefully he would not be too late.
