Kingdom Hearts

Prologue

Sitting in a dark room was a young boy of nineteen, his brown-blonde hair swaying in the wind that was coming through the open window. He was asleep at the moment, and didn't know anything was going on outside until there was a loud blast. Sitting up quickly he hit his head on the bottom of the low banister in the house he and his friends stayed out when his sister wasn't there. "What was that?!" he asked rubbing the offended area. Suddenly he heard screaming and he decided to see what the commotion was about. He got up off his bed and peered out the window, but what he saw made his heart stop.

Outside his window were hundreds maybe thousands of shadow-like creatures. Knowing what they were, the boy ran back to his bed and grabbed a small silver key that was on a chain. He then did something to the chain and the small key became a large sword like key, and then, although he knew it would affect him later, he changed his form. Instead of his usual black outfit it became white allowing him access to his Final form. After he changed into his form he went running back to his window, jumped out it landing between his best friends. One a boy with long silver hair and the other a girl with shoulder length brown hair.

"What took you so long?" asked the silverette.

"He was sleeping mostly likely." said boy this with beach-blonde hair. This one looked just like the brunette and he also had a key-like sword

"Oh shut up, brother." said the boy with the other key sword

As they fought the strange creatures, the three boys and the girl was winning the battle, until that is they saw something they hadn't seen for almost three years. It was Xentos the Dark Ruler. Just then Xentos blasted the four fighters apart, sending each to another area.

"RIKU!"

"SORA!"

"ROXAS!"

"KAIRI!"

As they each called out the names of their friends the one called Sora fell and he knew nothing else.

CHAPTER ONE: RADIANT GARDENS AND TWILIGHT TOWN

~RADIANT GARDENS~

"It's a good thing you guys found them before the Heartless did, Leon." said a boy's voice

"I couldn't believe it was them, but it was." said another boy

"Was any of his friends with him?" asked the first boy

"His friend Riku was a little ways away from him." said a girl's voice

Sora's mind started racing, the Heartless, the Nobodies, Xentos, everyone being blasted everywhere. He opened his eyes sharply and looked around. He saw his old friends Cloud, Leon and Tifa. He also saw someone else with long silver hair and at first thought that it was his friend Riku, but then he noticed the long sword and not the Way to Dawn Keyblade Riku weilded. He then realized that the man was a man by the name of Sephiroth. That confused Sora. The last time he had saw Sephiroth he and Cloud was fighting.

"What happened?" asked Sora looking around

"Oh Sora you're awake." said Cloud.

"Cloud, where's Riku and the others?" he asked as he looked at Sephiroth

"Riku's here." said Cloud pointing to the bed where Sephiroth was standing at. Cloud had also noticed that Sora was looking at Sephiroth and told him that he was the true Sephiroth. The other one was a manifest of the darkness in Cloud's heart. "But as for the rest of your friends we don't know."

Sora looked around at Riku and his heart dropped. It looked like his Key was busted and his arm was bruised badly. Sora looked away, he didn't like the fact that Riku and the others were attacked just because they were his friends. So instead he turned to Cloud and asked "How long have we been here?"

"About five hours. Leon and Tifa found you and Riku and Sephiroth found your Keyblades shortly before you came around."

"And Riku? Is he…" Sora couldn't seem to finish the question, however Sephiroth seemed to know what Sora was going to ask because he said "He's fine. His arm was messed up real bad but I was able to heal it."

Sora looked away after he nodded and looked at his Keyblade. That was when he realized that three of his gems were missing. The three that allowed him to transform into his Valor, Wisdom and Master forms were gone. The only one that was there was his white gem, the one that allowed him access to his final form. Those gems allowed his to access his drive forms without his friends help and it was bad three was missing. "Where are the other three gems?"

"That was the only one we found… It was still in your sword when we found you." said Leon. "We looked everywhere in the town, but we couldn't find them anywhere."

"This is bad. Isn't it?" Tifa asked Sora, not knowing anything about Sora's Drive forms.

"Yes Tifa it is." said Sora

Later on that day Sora was walking around the Dark Depths looking at the castle where he recalled the final battle he had had with who he had thought was Ansem but it was just his Heartless in Riku's body. As he looked up at the castle he was thinking about where his other three forms could be. Since they weren't in his Keyblade they had to have form, seeing as after Sora got some of his strength back his Final form took shape and it looked just like Sora except with white on instead of black. As he was thinking Riku, who was finally awake, walked up behind him with Final. It was actually Final who told Riku where Sora was. "Sora you okay?" he asked

"Hey Riku. Yeah I'm fine." lied Sora

Riku knew Sora far to well to know when he wasn't fine and when he was lying. He could tell that Sora was blaming himself for what had happened on Destiny Islands, when it wasn't really his fault that Xentos betrayed them. "Sora, look Cloud and the others told me what happened after they found us. Tifa fixed my Key and my arm's fine thanks to Sephiroth."

"That's great." said Sora distracted then he turned around to face Riku and said "I'm just worried that if the traitor was to get one of the other forms what would happen."

"I don't think that will happen." said Riku then he suddenly looked at the castle remembering the last battle him and Sora had against each other, but Sora wasn't fooled. He had been led on by Riku when he and his two friends and royal companions were looking for him and Kairi, so he knew when Riku knew more than he let on.

"What do you mean Riku?" asked Sora but Riku continued to look at the castle until Sora said his name again.

"When I was falling I saw you Master Form fall towards the same area as your brother." said Riku

"So you think the others could be…"

"Maybe Sora." said Riku finally taking his eyes off the castle and he looked at his best friend. "Look lets work on getting our strength back then we'll go look for the others and your forms."

"Alright." said Sora as they walked back to Ansem the Wise's study.

Twilight Town

Meanwhile in Twilight Town Roxas and the Master form of Sora was walking down the street to the Usual Spot so that Roxas could meet up with his friends from the town. After they did that they were going to go looking for Sora Riku Kairi and the other forms, when they had just ran into one of Roxas friends, Hayner. "Hey Hayner!"

"Huh? Hey Roxas." said Hayner turning around

"How are you man?" asked Roxas.

"Real good. And you?" asked Hayner looking at Master.

"Great. This is Master by the way." said Roxas noticing the way Hayner was looking at him and Roxas

"Don't ask." said Master as Hayner opened his mouth to ask Roxas where Master had come from and why he looked just like Roxas' brother. To cover up the awkward moment caused by Master Roxas asked how everyone was doing and how they were getting along. Hayner said that they were fine and was on the verge of asking when Roxas had got back into Twilight Town and where his brother was when another voice rang out. One that Roxas knew well.

"Roxas? Is that really you?"

Roxas, as not to freak Hayner out, turned to see who was talking to him now and saw that it was his best friend Axel, the only one that knew that truth about him and Sora, the way they were combined until Sora cancelled the spell keeping them together when he saved Kairi. He even tried to help Roxas when he was in the dark about his and Sora's link.

"No way it is you." said Axel walking toward the three of them. However once he got to where he could see Sora's Master form, he realized what must have happened. But it was best until Roxas filled his friends here in Twilight Town in to keep a charade. "Master! I thought you were Sora."

"I was." said Master

"We'll explain later, Axel." whispered Roxas "Oh this is Hayner." he said loudly as if that's what Axel had asked about. "Hayner this is Axel one of Sora's friends. You know my brother?"

"Yeah I remember him." said Hayner

"How could you forget that little freak?"

"Kerth!" yelled Roxas "I thought Sora and Riku got rid of you."

"Well then you thought wrong Roxas." said Kerth

"Roxas get Master and Hayner out of here!" yelled Axel

"But…" Roxas didn't want to leave Axel to fight by himself, he was his best friend after all.

"Roxas its Master that he wants. Just go." Axel told him.

"Right." Roxas finally agreed. No matter what happened he knew that Sora's Drive forms comes first. "Lets go."

Once they got out of harms way Roxas told Hayner, who was asking what was going on, that Axel was once part of a group called Origination XIII as was he. He also said that Sora would explain more when they got him there. Hayner understood then he said "Tell me something, Roxas, what is this thing?" and he held up a long sword with a key end like his Riku's Sora's and Kairi's.

"No way it's a Keyblade!" yelled Roxas and Master at the same time

"Keyblade? What's that?' asked Hayner

"Sora will have to explain. I only know a little bit about it myself." said Roxas then he turned to Master "Should we?"

"That's something you Sora Riku and Kairi will have to decide."

"But-"

"I know I'm like Sora, but I'm not him."

"Okay can you at least-"

"No!"

"Olette and Pence have these too." said Hayner interrupting their argument knowing that it could turn into an all out brawl.

"Olette? And Pence?" asked Roxas turning to his friend

"Well that's not surprising." said Axel from the doorway

"Axel! Thank god you're okay." said Roxas then he looked at Axel's arm "Axel you're bleeding."

"I'm fine Roxas" Axel said brushing it off "Actually it's not a surprised that your friends has a Keyblade. Since Sora's friends Riku Koda and Kairi does too."

"That's true we do." said another voice from the door.

Roxas and the others turned around and saw in the doorway the very same person they were talking about. Along with Valor Final and Riku. Roxas was glad to see that his brother and Riku was safe. Master was glad that two of his other forms was okay.

"Sora!" yelled Roxas

"Hey Bro." said Sora calmly

"So you lot have a Keyblade?" asked Riku to Hayner

"Yes." said Hayner weakly, there was something about Riku that caused Hayner to stop.

"Hmm, Sora?" Riku stated turning to Sora.

"Right. Roxas go get your friends. They've got a right to know as well." said Sora

"Okay." said Roxas and he left.

"Now I'm really confused." said Hayner but everyone just let him rant.

"Sora do you know where any of the others are?" asked Master

"Final and Valor are with us." said Riku pointing to the two boys in white and red "But we don't know about Wisdom."

"That's good. Hopefully Wisdom is safe."

'Wisdom is smart enough to take care of himself" said Roxas walking in with Olette and Pence

"Okay so what's the deal with these Keyblades?" asked Hayner

"Oh is that what their called?" asked Olette

"Yes. Alright this is how it started…"

As Sora told Hayner Olette and Pence the story Roxas, who already knew what Sora and the others went through when they were younger, asked Axel to come with him to keep an eye out for any enemies. He didn't fool Axel. Axel knew the real reason Roxas wanted to get away from everyone else, but he didn't say anything. He knew that Roxas felt bad that he left Hayner and the others four years previously to live with Sora Riku and Kairi so that he would have more of his strength, but that didn't stop him from feeling bad. Roxas never told Axel this, of course, but he could see it in his best friend's eyes and on his face. So he didn't say anything as they walked outside the Usual Spot and saw as soon as they did the very same person that explained everything to Roxas about Sora and his connection to Sora. She had told Roxas all the answers the Roxas had joined the Organization for.

"Hello Roxas." said Namine

"Namine? Hey." said Roxas happy to see his girlfriend again. "I'm sure you know what happened?"

"Yes. I saw you and Master coming." said Namine "Where are the others?"

"Riku and Sora are in the Usual Spot with Master Final and Valor" said Axel

"I see." said Namine. Suddenly Roxas pulled Namine behind him and brought out his Keyblade. Axel seeing it also brought out his weapons as well. Then Roxas then for Sora and the others

"What is it Roxas?" Sora called

"It seems the Heartless have found us!" said Roxas

"Crud!" yelled Sora and he ran out to his brother.

"What are those things?" asked Hayner

"Look as much as I would love to show you three how to use the Keyblades, you'll have to learn how to use them on your own like I had to." said Sora then heading toward the largest area to fight. "Lets go!"

During the fight Roxas noticed that Riku's blade wasn't as strong as it was when they fought or when they were on the Islands. That worried Roxas. He had never knew Riku to be weak so how come he was now? "Hey Riku you okay?" yelled Roxas

"Nothing!" Riku called back. He cursed himself. He should have known that Roxas would notice that he wasn't using the Way to Dawn but Tifa told him not to use it until they went to the white witch.

'Something's wrong.' thought Roxas

"Roxas watch out behind you!" shouted Sora from above him as he fought on the tops of the roofs.

"This is ridiculous! Sora there's too many of them!" shouted Riku as they continued the fight in the Tram Common. Suddenly there was a blast and Roxas and Axel went flying. Axel being used to it landed on his feet but Roxas, who had a bigger hit from the blast went farther and when he landed he wasn't moving.

"Roxas! Axel!" shouted Namine

"No!" yelled Riku

"I have had IT!" screamed Sora "You attacked my friends, hurt my brother, and tried to destroy my home! I have had enough!"

"Oh man I have never seen Sora this mad before!" Riku shouted to Namine from beside Roxas as he was checking the wounds on his best friend's brother.

"That's true. To be honest I don't think he has ever been this mad!" Namine called back

"I think you're right." Riku called back over the blast

"Hey Riku, let me see Roxas." said Olette

"Why?"

"I can help him." she said holding her Keyblade. It was then that he noticed that it was the Mysterious Abyss.

"Riku! Sora's going into oblivion!" shouted Final

"What?! SORA! STOP IT!" shouted Riku grabbing the Fatal Crest Keyblade to fight Sora. Although he didn't want to fight his best friend, Riku knew that it was the only way to stop him. "SORA! STOP!" Riku shouted again

"Riku we have to get him out of Oblivion!" shouted Valor to Riku stating the obvious.

Riku rolled his eyes. Sometimes he thought that the only thinking Valor did was on the battlefield "Well if you know a way Valor, I'd love to hear it." Riku shouted over the sounds of the two dark blades.

"I don't but Wisdom does."

"Well he's not here not is he!?" shouted Riku angry.

"Knock him out." said Final "Trust me Riku it will work."

"Alright." said Riku, then he turned to Sora and said "Sorry Sora." Riku then jumped behind Sora and hit him with the tilt of his sword on the base of the neck knocking him out.

"Well lets get him and Roxas out of here." said Hayner looking a bit winded.

"Let's go to the Haunted Mansion, they won't look there." said Namine

"What about Kerth?" asked Axel picking Roxas up from the ground after Olette had finished with her Keyblade.

"I have a barrier against him and the Nobodies." she said shrugging

"Alright."

"There are two people there waiting for you and Sora anyway, Riku." she said to Riku

"Okay." said Riku he already had a feeling who was there waiting for them at the Mansion. He picked Sora up and started to carry him through the forest that led to the mansion.

Once the group got to the mansion Namine dropped the barrier long enough for every one to get in. Once everyone was in the house Riku looked around and saw two girls standing in the hallway. One was the same height as Sora and had the same blue eyes and brown hair. The other was the same height as Namine and Kairi but had silver hair just like her older brother. The girl's name was Kasana.

"Hello Riku." said Koda, Sora and Roxas' sister and Riku's girlfriend

"What happened to him?" Kasana asked her brother

"Don't ask." said Namine

"Well anyway whatever happened out there, we can't go see the Master with the two of them out cold." said Koda

"Well we'll just have to wait, now won't we?" Riku asked his girlfriend

"You're crazy, Riku." said Koda and the two of them laughed

As they were waiting for the other two to wake up, Riku asked Hayner just how long they had known Roxas. Hayner said that they had met Roxas about five years ago. Suddenly they heard a moan from the room where Roxas and Sora was staying. As they looked toward the room Roxas and Namine walked out.

"Hey Roxas, feeling better?" asked Riku

"Yeah. What happened to Sora? I seen he was out cold." said Roxas

"Oblivion." said Riku simply

"Of course. I take it he went after Axel and I got hit?" asked Roxas

"Yeah." said Hayner and Roxas shook his head. He hated the fact that his brother would go into oblivion because of him.

Riku seeing Roxas' reaction said to him "Roxas your brother cares deeply for you, Axel and all his friends. Trust me I should know."

"Huh?" Koda had no idea what her boyfriend was talking about

"Never mind." "Thanks Riku." said Roxas knowing exactly what his brother's best friend was talking about.

"Well Namine how much longer do we have to wait?" asked Riku

"Why even wait at all?" asked Sora from the doorway.

"Good to see you up Sora." said Riku and Sora rolled his eyes

"Well I guess we can go see the Master now." said Koda

And so they all set out in different Gummi ships but the journey was far from over. Riku and Sora had no idea that the journey to find they're friends would soon escalate into a battle that would endanger the worlds once again. At the moment they had no idea that at the time in the shadows Xentos was meeting with another person in the Darkness. The man had long black hair. He was standing in front of a pod and holding on to a solid black sword with two Z's lopsided and crossing each other.

"So what you're saying is that the Warriors were not together when you attacked?"

"No, My Lord. Only Golden Sun Dark Moon Silver Rain and Violet Eclipse were on Destiny Islands."

"Find them."

"Yes Lord Chaos." said Xentos and he left

'I must have the Six Warriors of Light for my plan to succeed.' thought Chaos.
