Prologue: A New Journey

Hello, this is my first Fanfiction so bare with me if it sucks. Anyways this is after Kingdom Hears 2 by like a few days. So here is the beginning. Thanks and here we go!

I don't own Kingdom Hearts, I just own Ashlee.

Sora was staring at the sunset that he hasn't seen in a long time. He was happy that he was in his home world again but, he kept being bored. He always like being on those adventures with his friends Donald and Goofy and even the King. Then again he always had Riku on the Island and Kairi kept bugging him to help her train so she can be better at the keyblade. Right now though Sora and Riku were

"Sora! Riku! Guess What I Found!" Kairi was running as fast as she could to get to Sora and Riku who were on the tree branch.

"What's Up?" Sora asked Kairi as he got off the tree. "Look," was all that she could say as she showed him the bottle, with the Kings' Signature on it.

"From the King?" Sora asked as he took the bottle from Kairi and Riku came to see what it was then Sora started to read it.

Dear Sora, Riku, and Kairi,

There seems to be another problem. I need you to set off on another adventure to find a special person who's being targeted by Maleficent. She might also be after the keybladers too. I'm not sure on that but we will see. Anyways in three days time a gummi ship will appear and pick you up and bring you back to Radiant Garden so I can explain more.

Signed, King Mickey Mouse.

"I wonder what the King wants?" Riku asked.

"Well I know this is going to be interesting since Kairi's coming along and that were going on an adventure that we have no idea what's it about." Sora said to his two best friends.

"Wha? I get to go too?" Kairi asked surprised.

"Well yeah, since your name was mentioned in the letter." Sora said.

"Yeah! I get to go along!" Kairi screamed which excitement.

Sora and Riku just laughed. They all couldn't wait until three days was up and then they get to go on another adventure.

Meanwhile something else in another world was happening.

"Ugh stupid Heartless! Why don't you leave me alone for once. I thought the Keyblade Master got rid of you."

"My, oh my. I see you haven't gotten the latest news, my dear Ashlee." a evil voice said as it appeared out of no where. That is when Ashlee froze.

"Y-Your M-Maleficent." Ashlee stuttered.

"Why Yes." the voice said as Maleficent started to appear. " I trying to finish an important task and in order to do that I need your help."

"No way I will ever go with you. You have caused enough trouble to the state of the worlds."

"Well fine then. If you don't go with me, I do have a back up plan." after that Maleficent disappeared in green flames leaving Ashlee all alone surrounded by Heartless.

"Great, Now I have to watch my back again. As if anything could get any worse." After Ashlee said that she started to charge towards the Heartless with her keyblade and soon enough she couldn't defeat all of them and soon she fell like she could pass out any minute. "Great. I spoke too soon." After Ashlee thought that she fainted but, she feel through a black portal.

Back on the Islands, Sora, Riku and Kairi were waiting for the Gummi Ship to arrive since it was the third day since they opened the letter that the King gave them.

"So what do you think is happening out in the worlds? I mean Maleficent couldn't be going after the Princesses of Heart. Her first attempt failed." Kairi asked Riku since he was once hanging around Maleficent.

"I don't really know Kairi. She could be going after them or not. Or maybe she found an easier way to open up Kingdom Hearts with only one person. Or maybe she just needs a certain amount of keyblade masters to open it. Cause from what I heard there can be more than one keyblade master." Riku confessed to Kairi.

"Well, whatever she may be planning we will stop her. As long as good and evil exist, good will always win against evil." Sora remarked.

Kairi and Riku nodded with agreement. After that little conversation a Gummi ship appeared in the sky.

"Look! It's the gummi ship." Riku exclaimed as he was looking up in the sky.

The gummi ship landed and of course two familiar figures ran out and attacked Sora. "Donald! Goofy! Oh I missed you guys! Sora yelled as he was being attacked.

"Well Sora, we missed you too." Goof stated. Then he looked over at Riku and Kairi and said hello.

"Come on," Donald rushed them. Apparently he was in an hurry to get to Radiant Garden. No one questioned him though since he already looked mad. Then everyone boarded the gummi ship and when they did, Sora, Riku and Kairi were amazed.

"Wow. This is one big gummi ship. It's like living in a small apartment." Kairi exclaimed.

"Oh yeah. This is your first time on the gummi ship. Well I hope you like it." Sora told Kairi. Kairi just smiled back to him.

Soon as everyone was situated Donald and Goofy set the coordinates to Radiant Garden and they were off. They were going to be there in like a few hours.

The Gummi ship landed in Radiant Garden and they were greeted by The Great Ninja Yuffie. "Hey look. Its Sora!" Yuffie announced. "Hey Yuffie." Sora said. "I Like you to meet Kairi and Riku."

"Oh. I heard a lot about you two. Sora wouldn't keep his mouth shut." Kairi then blushed and Riku smirked.

"Hm. It seems that we were becoming popular among Sora's friends. Right Kairi?" Riku asked her.

"Well Come On." Yuffie said excitedly. "Lets Go To Merlin's House. Everyone will be pleased to see you guys."

Everyone nodded and started to walk towards Merlin's. As soon as they walked in, Sora and the gang was greeted with hellos. Also with an unexpected visitor laying on the couch. The only attention that was laid upon the girl was Riku but of course Aerith was also examining her for any wounds or inner wounds too.

As soon as Sora was done greeted with hellos, Sora introduced the Restoration Committee to Kairi and Riku. Riku and Kairi of course gave them hellos. Then of course Sora's attention was also placed upon the girl laying on the couch.

"Who is that?" Sora asked. As soon as Sora asked Kairi followed Sora's gazed and looked at the girl too.

"Oh her?" Leon questioned. "We found her laying in the middle of the street this morning. She's been passed out ever since. Do you guys know her by any chance?"

Everyone shook their heads no. "Well I know her." a squeaky voice said.

"You're Majesty!" Donald, Goofy, Sora, and Kairi said together. "Mickey!" Riku said, since he was the only one who called him that.

"How do you know her, your Majesty?" Sora asked.

"Whelp, She was the 'Special Person' you were suppose to find luckily, she ended up here in Radiant Garden." explained King Mickey. "She's the one Maleficent's after."

"Wha!" yelled everyone.

"Wait, hold on. Why would someone as evil as Maleficent want someone so innocent as her?"

"Well why don't we let her explain?" King Mickey said.

Kairi was about to say something when they all heard a groan. They all turn their heads to the girl who looked about Riku's age.

"Eh? Where Am I?" the girl said. Then King Mickey walked over to her and asked for her name since he only knew who she was but didn't know her name.

"My name is Ashlee." she said. Then she looked at King Mickey. "I know you. You were the one that helped me from uh I forget his name but, he doesn't seem important on my mind right now." King Mickey just smiled. Ashlee then looked up to see tons of faces she never knew.

"Oh.. this is awkward." Ashlee turned to be greeted by new faces.

"Hey Ashlee," Sora started to talk. "I'm Sora, the duck is Donald, the huge dog is Goofy, the young lady standing next to me is Kairi, and the my silver haired best friend is Riku."

"Pleasure to meet you Ashlee," Kairi said to her.

"Hey," was all Riku could say. Although, he could smell darkness from her heart. He look at Mickey, and of course Mickey could tell but… Mickey knew that Ashlee was not evil. Riku still had his suspicions.

"So…Ashlee? How did end up in Radiant Garden anyways. I mean you don't have a gummi ship…" asked Sora.

"Uh," Ashlee started to say but before she went into explanation she look over at King Mickey. He nodded with confident that they needed to know who she was. "I came through the Portal of Darkness," Ashlee said shakily.

"Wah? How can you even survive through that I mean come on. It's dangerous even if you have a strong pure heart." Merlin said as he magically popped up in the room.

"Well, I may have a strong heart but its not the light that is in my heart its darkness and you guys are lucky that I'm not pissed off right now." Ashlee said.

"Darkness how can you have Darkness in your heart? I mean if you have darkness in your heart, you become a heartless. Right, your majesty?" Kairi came into the conversation.

"Well, yes and no. Well you guys know that when you have Darkness in your heart and I mean full Darkness you become an heartless and have a nobody and you guys know the rest, but no one ever told you about another way to open Kingdom Hearts."

"There is another way to open Kingdom Hearts?" questioned Leon.

"Of course there is. One way was the Seven Princesses of Lighten Hearts. You guys know who they are. They is also the way that you have to have 5 Keyblade Masters to open the door but, since there is only like 3 in the whole universe then you can't. The last part would be the one who has Pure Darkness in one's heart." King Mickey explained.

"Well now I know why Maleficent wanted me earlier. She probably wanted to open kingdom hearts to obtain Kingdom Hearts again." Ashlee confessed.

"What! You met Maleficent?" Riku yelled.

"Oh yeah. I ran into tons of evil guys. Xehanort, Maleficent, Nobodies, Organization IIX although not everyone in Organization IIX isn't that bad. Like for example Axel? Or Roxas?" Ashlee said with a grin.

Sora, Kairi, and Riku froze on hearing those names. They weren't sure on how she knew but they were not starting to trust her.

"How do you know Roxas and Axel?" Sora screamed angrily at her.

"How do I know them? Well that is elementary my dear. First of all I can see Roxas in you Sora, and I can see Kairi's nobody in her too. It's a gift that I go by. Anyways I also met Axel once in Port Royal. He told me many things like on how he would never go to Atlantic cause it was it was too wet for me." Ashlee chuckled on that memory. "Yeah good times."

"Wait, You been meddling in other worlds affair? I mean you aren't suppose to know anything about other worlds." Donald spoke up.

"Well, rules are made to be broken. Its not fault, after my world got destroyed I had to go somewhere right? So I ended up many different worlds and as soon as I found out who I was decided to use Portals of Darkness since my heart doesn't react to the darkness and besides I had an awesome time learning from the best people I know."

"Well, since we don't need to find you anymore I guess it was really no point to leave Destiny's Islands really." Kairi said with sadness.

"Oh No. You guys have to lock all the worlds' keyholes and other things what ever you do and you guys have to stop Maleficent since Light in your case defeats her and she said she had a back-up plan if I didn't agree to go with her."

"Well since were done explaining I'm going to look around this world since it's the first non-violent world I been to, see you later." Ashlee said as she hopped off the couch and left the building.

Well, how was it? Remember R&R or Read and Review!
