As Selvian and Sierra, and unbeknown to them, Riku, set off to Radiant Garden to find answers for each other's Organisations. We go back to the direct plight to find Sora. In the Dark World I had entered under the guidance of Repliku. Why guidance? His time as only a heart taught him a lot. He already seemed to know where I was going with this and that my ultimate goal was to restore order to my dream guide's world.

Repliku: "Stay close to me".

Karla: "Heartless, right?"

Repliku: "Yes".

Karla: "But, like I don't see any around. This place looks ominous but I don't see the reason for why it's so notoriously bad".

Repliku: "Trust me, they're around, they just haven't found us yet. And the longer you spend here, the more the darkness is able to pull you in. We've only been here for a short time".

And then there it was. A bunch of black antennas slowly rose from underneath the sand on the dark beach and soon after, glowing yellow eyes were peering at us, approaching us. In addition my heart had grown fear with in it".

Repliku: "See? I told you".

Karla: "What do I do?".

Repliku: "Stay close".

Staying close to Repliku was one thing, but there was another thing that nobody saw coming. A group of heartless had snuck up from behind and pounced me, knocking me to the ground. Repliku noticed and quickly turned around, but the remaining heartless were after him, so he could not pause to attend to me. And just then, as he lept fighting his own, the ground began to rumble. A huge tower of heartless shot out of the sand and ascended high into the air. Repliku suddenly ran to try and pull me away, but he was too late. With a careful aim, the tornado of heartless shot back down, consuming me in the process. I was now in a black void of emptiness.

Karla: "What's going on? I can't see!".

I felt a choking sensation in my chest which caused me to scream.

Karla: "Repliku! Where are you?!".

For a while I was coughing and spluttering like anything, while hearing voices which told me I was nothing but a 'worthless nuisance' and that my plight to help Kingdom Hearts was all for nothing and that nobody appreciates me. The darkness seemed to learn that my utmost fear was loneliness, loss, and ultimately, rejection.

However, my body seemed to start swimming in the void on its own, and soon after, I was shot out of it. I landed on the ground hard, but there were no mare heartless around; only Repliku standing there, looking at me with another man by his side with tall brown hair. However, before I could wake up fully, I could only partially hear the man saying:

Terra: "I hope she's alright"

As my hazy vision then determined that he was now walking off with a blue and yellow figure. Though as my vision started to clear, Repliku approached me.

Repliku: "Karla?".

Karla: "You know my name?".

Repliku: "Yes, if I am the replica of your dream guide and he knows you through his dreams, then I should know you too. But tell me, are you alright?".

Karla: "Eugh... I'm fine now, but for a second I was in this awful coma. Like I thought I was actually dead".

Repliku: "And you thought you were invincible. You had the same experience and the same feelings as my replica when he last came here".

Karla: "Eh. Well now I know what you mean by a threatening environment".

Repliku: "You also need a keyblade to fight the heartless. I can only do so much".

Karla: "Hey, I was probably just being lazy. My approach isn't to use a keyblade, however, if in my own dreams, I can draw energy from my dream guide, and you're his replica, then... I think I have myself sorted. The heartless ought to receive a gattling next time. There is an additional way I can be powered up, and I hope you don't mind".

Repliku seemed to know what I was on about as he gave a soft smile and nodded. He then pulled me in and hugged me for a short while.
