"I never knew where I came from…
My memories where shattered on that day I woke up …
I remember an Island, surrounded by water….
I remember people…. kids, like me…
We used to play together…..always together…. these people ...especially these two…..
I could never make them out….I know one is a boy and the other is a girl…..
That's all….so far…."
Chapter 1:
Hooves could be heard on the broken brick road. No cars could be seen anywhere; it looked like no one had ever lived in this ruined town for years.
A boy on a black horse (the horse had horns instead of ears and pure red eyes with no white in them at all. It was a strong horse that looked like it could survive anything. Think of the horse from Vampire Hunter D) were the only two living creatures moving through the deserted land. The boy was wearing long black pants that had black traps going from the front of his pants to the back waist. He wore a dark blue shirt under his chain mail and a black vest over it. He had a long scarf over his mouth, so you would only see half of his face. His hair is chocolate brown, spiky hair that stuck out everywhere. His sky blue eyes were very blue that made any jewel jealous.
He looked like a traveler but he looked like he was dressed for battle. He was a warrior from a land not found in this world. He was on a mission and he could not return to his world unless his mission was complete.
"Come on Miday. It's just over in that town over there. Then off to another world," The warrior said to the horse but only got a grunting sound from the horse. They came to a stop at the entrance to the town, which were two big doors as an entrance. The town looked like it was protected by stone wall that was probable the barrier to protect the town from an army...or from something else. The boy got off the horse and started walking towards the double doors. As he placed his hand on the door, ready to open them; when he felt his vest being pulled. He turned around to see Miday with a small portion of his vest in its mouth.
"It's okay," he petted the horse's forelock. "I'll be right back, stay here."But the horse didn't want him to leave. It stomped its foot into the ground. "I'll be back. Besides, I don't think they allow horses in," the boy walked to the door, giving it a push and went inside.
The boy walked into a lively town filled with people and stores, all hustling and bustling. The warrior just walked on, hearing words of gossiping and bickering from people he happen to passed by.
"Hey did you hear about the monster in the Third District?"
"You mean the monster that looks like a giant knight?"
"Ya, that thing"
"I hear it's been causing all kinds of trouble"
"I heard if it touches you, you'll disappear"
"No way!"
"Yes way! The only person who survived the attack…was Cid"
"Cid! The man that owns that shop on North Street in the First District?"
"Yup"
"Cid?..." The boy thought about it before deciding to head towards the shop. He walked around trying to find this shop owned by Cid. He asked some people who he happens to be passing by. They all pointed him in the right direction as the boy said "Thank you" to all of them. The boy came upon a large shop with double doors. The sign on the right said "Cid's Weapon Shop"
He opens the door to see a nice looking shop but it didn't even look like a weapon shop. Not seeing any weapons on the wall or shelves. The boy thought this might not be the right place; he saw a blonde, muscular man, which had a tooth pick in his mouth, turned and looked to see who had come to his shop.
"What do you want brat?" The man asked " I don't sell weapons to little kids."
The boy wasn't fazed by the man's attitude; he stepped forward to the man and asked, "Are you Cid?"
"Ya. What about it?"Cid raised an eyebrow at the kid.
"I'm here to ask you about the monster in the Third District." The boy reached the counter, while the man stared at him like he was stupid or something.
"You're asking about the heartless?"
"If that's what you want to call it…yes" the boy said with a straight face.
"Why would a kid like you ask me that question? Don't tell me you're going to fight it! HAHAHAHAH!" Cid leaned on the counter saying "you'll lose your heart to that monster. You can't beat it. Go Home."
"I can't….." The boy whispered sadly. Cid gave the boy a questionable look. The boy looked back up at Cid "Who says I can't? I may not look it but I am WARRIOR! Like this shop is a weapon shop even though it doesn't look like it"
Cid looked at the kid for a minute then through his head back in laughter, " HAHA! Kid, you crack me up!" Cid stopped laughing for a second and pointed his finger towards the ceiling. "Those moogle have all my weapons for a tune up. All I have down here are rings and armor."
"Moo..gle?" The boy looked at Cid with a clueless face.
"Ya, there kind of like blacksmiths but they look stuff cat/bears with a ball coming from its head." Cid tried to describe a moogle.
"Oh…" The boy thought about the strange creature for a second then remembered what he came here for. "HEY! Don't change the subject! What a about monster…HEARTLESS….THING..WHATEVER IT'S CALLED!"
"Forget about it, I got someone who will take care of that thing reeaal good." Cid showed his back to the boy, waving him off.
"If you're not going to tell me; THEN I'll find someone who will."The boy started heading toward the exit but called him back.
"Wait!" Cid rubbed the back off his neck. "I'll tell you where it is….IF you wait for my friends to come and go with you."
"Sure" Unknown to Cid, the teen had crossed his fingers behind his back.
"It's in the Third District by the fountain wall." Cid pointed north for the boy to go. "A bunch of people and I headed over there to fix the tower. Weird part is… that monster doesn't move from that spot."
"Really." The boy ponder the thought then was about to leave when Cid called him again.
"Hey kid!" What's yer name?"
"Sora" As the door closed behind him.
"Sora huh" Cid went back to work when her heard the door open again.
"Hey Cid" A female voice that Cid recognized.
Cid looked up "About time"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Outside, Sora headed toward the Second District. Sora knew he broke his promise to Cid but he didn't have time to wait for someone or let alone have them know what he was. Sora felt his shoulder rub against someone and turned to see he had hit someone.
"Watch it kid, you might hurt someone." The voice sounded gentle but rude.
Sora didn't even turn around, instead waved them off "I'll remember that."
The man just smirked as he headed toward Cid's shop.
Sora entered the Second District, noticing that nothing bad seemed to be happening yet…until, some strange creature came up from behind Sora and attacked him with its sharp claws.
"Too slow." Sora turned around and sliced the creature in half. In his hand was a black key –sword. The sword handle was heart shaped and the point had a cross key symbol. This sword was called keyblade.
Another creature came at him fast. Its small, black body that had antennas on its head, with big yellow eyes, came on Sora's rights side, while another one was on his left.
'Shit!' Sora thought 'I got to head towards the Third District. Once get rid of the black control, everything will be better.'
Sora ran as fast as he could towards to the doors of the Third District. He dodged and struck the heartless as they came at him. He made it to the doors just as the heartless were coming. Sora slipped through the door heading towards the Third District.

Once Sora closed the doors behind him he let out a breath; he knew more was to come. So far no heartless had appeared, which was good on Sora's part, but Sora knew that wasn't.
"Something…. is not right." Sora walked around and saw the fountain .He ran towards it seeing the picture above the fountain that Cid had told him about. "There you are" he started to lessen his speed when all of the sudden the ground shook. Sora tried to stay calm as he looked around for any sign of what might be causing the quake.
"BOOM!"
Sora moved just in time when a hand came crashing down where Sora had been, along with the rest of the creature. Sora knew the boss had finally showed itself to him. The purple Armor 's body and hands floated in mid air while the feet stomped on the ground. The armor was completely empty but still moving as if a ghost had possessed it. It's slashed itself at Sora, who quickly dodged it. Sora first attacked the hands and feet leaving the body/head for last. The hands tried to make a grab for Sora but he quickly hit them away. He did the same with the feet and all that was left was the body/head. The heartless head/body formed itself into a cannon, shooting balls of energy at Sora. Sora dodged and used the last of his strength to hit the Knight. With his finishing blow the heartless fell to the ground unconscious.
Sora stood in front of the Knight, aiming the keyblade at its chest, reciting the words:
"Oh poor creature who has taken this form…
From now you shall be free….
I take ways your curse…..
Go back to which you came….
As of now you are free!"
The keyblade glowed a purple-ish blue as a light shot out and hit the Knight's chest. The Knight floated into midair; the armor vanished into a glowing light. All that was left was a young woman dressed in armor.
"Thank you" She saluted to Sora and then disappeared back to her home.
Sora smiled as the woman finally vanished; he then put on a serious face and looked toward the fountain. His eyes darkened into a deep blue; revealing a black orbed with chains coming from it, leading to what seemed to be the heartless. Sora pointed his keyblade towards the sky, reciting an old language that no one would be able to translate. A light shined out from the sword and pierced through the orb, causing it to shatter like glass.
"Done" Sora's blade disappeared; he then waited as if something was going to happen. Sora for some reason felt eyes watching him. He was about to rip out his key blade but felt something latch onto his leg.
"Are you our savoir?" Said a high pitched voice.
Sora looked down to see the smallest shadow heartless he had ever seen. "What the ….." He bent down to get a better look at the heartless. "Must be a runt" Sora whispered to himself not realizing that the heartless could understand him.
"I'm not a runt! I'm Chii!" Chii stuck handout very cutely but Sora was just getting annoyed.
"Chii….. YA Chii you're suppose to go back home. You're free" Sora made hand to try to get Chii to understand.
"Chii wants to stay with you!" Chii jumped onto Sora's leg.
"Chii. I got a mission aaand any second know I'm" Sora didn't get to finish what he was saying; when all the sudden he stood up. His eyes went dark blue again but instead wings sprouted out of his back. Sora's final words before his wings wrapped themselves around him were.
"Wonderland"
Chii could have sworn she saw the door open right when they had disappeared into a bright light, toward the sky.
