"I can't help but wonder….

Why me? Why am I the Keyblade Master?"

Sora woke with a start as his eyes darted around the room, searching for the source of his awakening, when he realized it was himself. He caught his breath and dazed out his window, only to see the moon shining brightly and hurting his eyes. Through the pain, Sora continued to stare at the lunar lightshow happening just outside his window, when the moon suddenly took the shape of a heart. Sora rubbed his eyes and took a second look and saw that the moon had taken its original form again. A second later, the moon transformed into a heart shape once more, this time with a blue rim. Sora recognized this pattern – this was Kingdom Hearts.

Prior to that night, everything was peaceful on Destiny Islands. The organization had been stopped, and Sora and Riku made it home safe after being trapped in the Realm of Darkness. Sora, Kairi and Riku were able to live a normal, healthy lifestyle for quite some time, which neither of them were really used to. They had gone back to school, they spent time with each other, as well as their other friends Tidus and Wakka, and they were able to enjoy themselves - finally.

The day after the strange occurrence with the moon, Sora told Kairi and Riku what he saw. "I know that's what it was. We all saw it in the World that Never Was, I know it was Kingdom Hearts!"

"Sora, relax, we believe you." Kairi was situated on a palm tree next to Sora. The wind lightly whipped her hair to the flow of the breeze as she looked back to the endless ocean.

"I don't think it was Kingdom Hearts, Sora. It was probably just a figment of your imagination trying to tell you something." Riku was leaning on the palm tree that Sora and Kairi were sitting on, with his arms crossed, and not caring what the sea breeze did to his long, flowing white hair.

"What could I be trying to tell myself?" Before he could conjure up an answer, Kairi spotted an object floating in the ocean.

"Hey, do you guys see that?"

"See what, Kairi?" Riku followed her now pointing finger and got a closer look. "Hey, it's a bottle. There's something inside it!"

Without hesitation, Sora jumped to the ground below, took off his shirt and shoes, and dove into the water. He retrieved the bottle and got back to land. He took a towel that was hanging from the palm tree, dried off, put his shirt back on, and pried open the bottle. The message was sealed by the King. The three friends looked at each other, knowing that this was not going to be good news they were about to feed their eyes on. Sora opened the letter and read aloud:

Sora, I hope this finds you well.

After you stopped Organization XIII, I went to see Master Yen Sid.

He had bad news for me.

He senses a new evil, but he and I have both seen it before.

It's a long story, but I fought these creatures before.

They are called Unversed.

They are similar to the Heartless, but what makes them strange is where they are coming from.

I can't explain now, but Donald and Goofy are on their way to get you.

Prepare yourself. You may learn things on this journey that you might not have ever wanted to learn.

Come see me when you have the Gummi Ship.

Regards, Mickey Mouse

"Sora…" Kairi tried to think of something to say, but couldn't find the words. Instead, she looked at Sora who was staring at the eternal ocean. This seemed to be all he could do for the time being. The next thing they know, a familiar sound rippled through the air. All concentration was lost as all three of them looked to the sky. Riku was able to locate the shape of a Gummi Ship through the clouds, and they eagerly awaited its landing.
