Sora ran outside of the castle with his keyblade in his hands.

"I really need to get away from here, fast!!" He thought.

He briskly stopped to fight off the heartless. He was too caught up with getting away from Hollow Bastion instead of fighting them away from the castle. He ran past the heartless, slashing them outta his way. As he finally reached the Rising Falls, the heartless were fast to catch up to Sora. He saw a gummi ship that was about ready to blast off. He decided to jump in the cockpit to fly off to a different world.

He landed in Traverse Town, at the 1st District. He walked around the town square, deserted.

"Why is it so deserted??? I wonder what happened while I was gone?" he thought to himself. He continued walking, even the Accessory Shop and the Item Shop was empty. He kept walking around, not only were the two main shops were empty, but even the moogles were gone! Sora checked into the 2nd District.

"Maybe I'll find Leon, or Yuffie, or maybe even Aerith!" he thought to himself again. He felt more anxious to find somebody in town in each step he took. Although he did meet somebody, the heartless.

He pulled out his keyblade and slashed it at the neoshadows. As he kept doing his best to get them out, they kept on coming & coming & coming. Finally, he heard someone calling to him,

"Right here! Follow me!!" said the voice. Sora didn't hesitate to follow where the voice lead to, after all, he had to get away! The voice sounded as if it was a girl calling out to him, but that didn't exactly matter to him this time. He ran into the alleyway, until the heartless beat him into playing tag. He took out his keyblade. But just as he was about to swipe them away, something else took out the shadows. It was the girl who led Sora to the alleyway.

"C'mon! We don't have much time right now!" she said, running, running to the

Dalmatian's house.
