CHAPTER 1

On a beach that is always night there sits a girl. For many years she has been wandering in this strange dimension, unable to return to her own home and to her friends.

"This place is getting on my nerves." She said with a sigh as she collapsed landing on her back in the surprisingly warm sand. She jolted up as she felt the presence of a dark portal being opened behind her. She stared at the swirling mass of darkness as someone began to step through.

The figure looked around finally spotting her "Aqua, I've finally found you."

'It can't be. He couldn't be here. It's impossible.' She fell to her knees, "Terra, you can't really be here. You just can't. You…and…and Master Xehanort, he took over your body so you can't really be here. You're just a figment of my imagination." She could no longer hold her tears in as they began to fall from her eyes freely.

"Please Aqua, it really is me so stop crying. I came here to get you out so we could rescue Ventus and be together again." He kneeled down beside her and hugged her. "It's me I am really here. You see I am able to touch you and hold you. What's not real about that?"

"How?" she asked weakly, "How are you here? How did you escape Master Xehanort? Please tell me." She looked up at him, trying to understand how this was possible, how one of the friends she thought she lost all those years ago could be in front of her now.

He laughed lightly "To tell the truth I have no idea. I have been asleep ever since Xehanort took over my body. I was able to suppress him as well with the last bit of Master Eraqus' power. I don't know a lot about what happened after; all I can remember are images and fragments. How Xehanort and I were separated I do not know. What I do remember was some sort of vortex and I ended up being separated from him. I lost consciousness then and when I woke up I was in Traverse Town. I was then able to track you down and here we are." He took her arm and helped her stand and once she was steady he let her go.

Aqua began to cry but her tears were of joy at seeing her friend it…wait, how long has it been. She had lost count in the never ending night of this darkness. "Terra, how long has it been since then, since we were separated?"

He looked away, "It's been" he paused, letting out his own sigh, "It's been ten years since we were separated."

She gaped at him. Ten years so long. 'I have been gone for ten years. Terra has been gone for ten years. Ventus has been asleep for so long.' Her eyes became wide. Ventus, she had forgotten about Ventus from the shock at seeing Terra. "What about Ventus. I know where his body is. I'm the one who hid it but I'm not sure where his heart is."

"I'm not sure either but we have to find it before Xehanort does." He began to walk towards the portal and then looked back. "Are you coming we should go before the portal closes."

"Right I'm coming but why are you using a dark portal."

"It was the only way to get here but my dark power that is left from Xehanort's control is starting to disappear which means if we don't hurry both of us will be stuck here."

"Where are we going?"

He looked at her and smiled "It's faint but I am able to sense Ventus' heart. I am going to try and follow it."

MEANWHILE

"Master, I believe that Terra has managed to rescue Aqua. Should we do something about it, sir." Said a boy no older than 15.

An older man looked down at the boy, then said, "Nothing, it is of no concern to me. They will be disposed of shortly and even if they weren't, they could not stop me, Vanitas."

"Of course Master Xehanort." He said putting a full face mask on. "What is it that you would like me to do?"

"Go to a world known as Destiny Island and look for a boy named Sora." He said.

Vanitas gaped at him, "You don't mean…"

"Yes him, I want you to test his strength. Get him alone and fight him." Xehanort began to laugh.

Vanitas smiled. Even though the mask was covering his face Xehanort could tell the boy was excited. "When should I leave Master Xehanort?"

"As soon as you are ready." He said.
