Sora's POV
It's been so long since I remember fighting another Heartless. Ever since Xehanort was defeated, it was like a new world. Everyone was relieved it was over.
I've met even more friends. They knew Master Xehanort. And the Mark of Mastery exam. I never passed that test and now it doesn't seem I have to.
I walk into the castle that once belonged to the Nobodies. Castle Oblivion. I was kinda on a brief mission to check if Heartless were still lingering here in The World That Never Was.
It really went to the dogs. Almost everything was broken. Rooms were disorganized. But the lab seems pretty orderly. Glass tubes are cracked but not shattered.
I look around more. There are notes. All littered the desks, counters, and floor. The peripheral vision shows me something's goes missing. I quickly turn my head that way. I walk over. A few things were missing. Another thing seemed to vanish in front of me. I pick one report up; it was a bit about Heartless. I read deeper. Until it, too, disappeared.
I pick up another one. I read about it. Too much light can - what? Too much Light can destroy? I think about how Darkness is able to destroy, but I never thought Light could. The report begins to fade.
Crap! I'm not done!
Too late it was gone. Why are these things disappearing? Are these like mystical or something?I think.
I get out of there, thinking about the information. Darkness can't live without Light, right? Light shouldn't be dependent on Darkness. It shouldn't be able to destroy the world. It's a good thing, right? It wouldn't do that!
I watch as the room slowly disappears. Quicker than I imagined. It was gone and there was nothing there but a hole in the wall. I go into another room.
It was a library. Already half of it was gone. Books were still falling into oblivion. Too scared to go in, I stay where I am. The library didn't seem to hold up any longer from how it was held up and it completely collapses off the wall. It disintegrated into particles in a matter of seconds, before it hit the ground below.
I finally decide to just get out if the castle.
I board the Gummi ship and set it to drive back to Destiny Islands. You see, Darkness swallowed it up and it looks like the light beat it and it was back where it was. I was afraid once the darkness was destroyed, it would be destroyed, too.
Riku, Ventus, and Terra were practicing while Kairi and Aqua were swapping charms.
Everyone was happy, now.
"Hey, guys!" I call. They turn to me and save back and I run to them, summoning my Keyblade. "Did I miss anything?" I say as Ventus and I were parrying each other's attacks. "Nothing much, really. Just a few heartless but we took them out, easy," the blonde boy says.
"They're getting weaker," I say like it's an observation. I swing at him and he blocks it before counter-attacking with a rush of multiple attacks. Some hit me and some I manage to block
I had no time to react as Terra came in and began to swing at me. I weaken it, but it does hit me. Ventus takes the time to make a hit at me until Riku comes to my rescue. We were in teams. There was me and Riku while Terra and Ventus had each other. We continue to spar until the girls joined in.
It was, now, one of our ways of fun and to keep out reflexes in check, in case of more Heartless.
We went in for hours until we all just fall over, tired, yet still restless. We laid there, not even moving until night fell. Everyone went back to their places for the night except for me and Riku.
"Riku, We've seen Darkness destroy. Do you remember whether or not we've seen Light destroy?" I start a conversation.
"Don't think so. I'd be surprised if it could."
"Yeah, that's true, I guess."
He looks at me, he knows something made me bring this up. "I found a few papers in The World That Never Was. Light can destroy balance, too."
"Hmm... Sora you were looking through Castle Oblivion's Lab. The scientist there barely had any idea what he was doing."
"But what if it does kill us all?"
"Sora, you're listening to yourself, right? Light can destroy Darkness, only. End of Story!"
"But-"
"End of Story!"
"But if Darkness is gone, Light will have nothing to get rid of, right?"
I sit up, facing him.
"Sora, what side are you on: Light or Darkness?"
"Light, of course.
"Why are you defending Darkness?"
I had no excuse and stayed silent. He looks at me like I was a traitor. I quickly think of something to come back with.
"I swear, I'm not going to the dark side."
He gets up and dusts the sand off his back before summoning his Keyblade and points it at me. I jump up and do the same.
"Sora, listen to me. Light heals the damage done by Darkness. A world without Darkness is already unimaginable, in a good way. And if you're going to listen to some report written by a scientist off his rocker, then I'm not going to able to accept you're going to fight for Darkness. Even if it is a little bit!"
He brings it over his head and swings it down. I quickly summon my weapon but I was barely able to compete with the brute force he put into the attack. My grip on my Keyblade is weakened. I quickly regain my posture and begin to take a few swings at him. "You know how it is fighting with Darkness!" I shout. his eyes widened at the new topic. he remembers. "Heck, you USED Darkness!" I finish off. His expression was now contorted with rage, and he tries to disarm me; he hits my keyblade hard enough to weaken my grip on it again. but this time, he swings again, knocking it out of my hands and into the sand, yards away.
I hold my hands up in surrender as he points his keyblade at me. "You're either with or against us, Sora. Choose wisely."
I come up with an idea. "It's impressive how we didn't even wake anyone," I say. He looks back, now realizing it. I summon my keyblade and knock the weapon in front of me out of his hands. He summons it and we begin again. I knew we were both tired and suffered from sleep deprivation. Unfortunately, I didn't have as much stamina and energy as Riku did and he beat me, easily. I was knocked back into a tree. He pinned me by the neck.
"Sora! Look at what Darkness brought all of us! Suffering and loss. Light restored us to normal! Tell me again why you, of all people, want to consider fighting for Darkness?!"
I was barely able to breathe at this point and I could feel tears escaping my eyes. "Riku, I don't want to go to Darkness as much as you do, I promise. It's that even Light needs Darkness! And you're letting Darkness take over your heart if this keeps up!" Big mistake.
He throws me on the ground and I struggle to get up, due to the breathing needed to regain control of myself. I watch as he leaves to the cabins and shuts the door. I did, indeed, follow but the door was locked. I kick it, cursing.
I make my way back down and to the Gummi Ship. I hope aboard, contemplating on leaving now or morning. I needed sleep, but I didn't think the desire was bad and drove off.
A/N: I never expected the first chapter to be this long.
Plot - hole point - outs are needed. if anything doesn't make sense, let me know. I'll see if I can resolve it orplain it.
