Prologue: One Year Later
A year passed since Sora and friends saved the worlds from Chaos's warriors. Sora and Kairi had wed, and a new government was formed at Radiant Garden.
The Land of Departure was also restored, Ventus, Aqua and some of their allies remained to establish a defense force and train new young hopefuls to become Keyblade Masters to watch over the world order.
Terra, Ventus and Aqua's best friend, had left to hone his skills and train to become stronger in spirit. He still kept contact with his old friends, even as he and his companion Lightning journeyed and trained together.
Tidus and Yuna lived together on Destiny Island with Riku and Namine.
In the next four months since that year passed, Sora and Kairi dated whenever they could in between Sora's adventuring and Kairi's busy schedule. All was well.
One night, Sora spoke with Kairi in their new bedroom at Radiant Garden's castle.
"Had a good day, Kai?" smiled Sora.
His wife smiled back"It was much busier then I was used to when we lived on the Islands. Suppose Riku's doing okay?"
Her husband replied"Yeah, as a matter of fact, he's competing in an election to become the next Mayor in our hometown. The old Mayor is getting up there in age."
Kairi giggled"He's as competitive as ever, but I like it when you guys never change. Oh, and I have something to tell you."
"What is it?" said the brunette.
Kairi smiled"I'm pregnant, Sora. Looks like we're going to be parents."
Sora glanced at her tummy, which was bigger then when they last talked"That's great, Kairi. Do you know if it's a boy or girl?"
"Nope, so no buying toys and/or clothes until we know, all right?" grinned Kairi.
Sora beamed"It sounds great that we're having a family."
"Yeah. Anyway, we should probably turn in, good-night Sora" said Kairi.
The pair drifted off to sleep until dawn.
Mount Ordeals in Cecil's world is quiet and serene. A brunette Keyblade Master periodically trained side by side with a pink haired female Swordswoman and a male blond Dragoon.
The brunette, having overcome the last of his darkness, felt as though he needed to train both body and soul. There was little for the three of them to do but train, think, or converse.
Zombies proved almost no threat to them, they had become accustomed to the dangers of the mountain.
One day, as they trained, one of the brunette's old friends, a younger man with blond hair, showed up.
"Terra, hi" called the man.
"Oh, hey Ven" smiled Terra.
The pink haired woman and the dragoon stopped their activities to greet Ventus.
The brunette spoke"So what brings you here?"
Ventus replied"This morning, Aqua and I got word from Sora that they're having a child. I brought a letter if you'd like to read it."
"What for? You just informed us of the contents" said the pink haired woman.
"Yeah, I know, but there's more to it" said Ven, handing the letter to Terra.
Terra scanned the note, and said"Well, congrats to them. How's Aqua?"
Ventus smiled"She's doing pretty good, we wanted to invite you to our wedding, but you didn't answer when you sent a letter by Gummi Ship. Cloud's running a delivery service from Radiant Garden."
Terra nodded"That's thoughtful of you, but the two of you should go ahead without me. There is a secret on this mountain, apparently, but I have not yet found it."
"Aqua would've liked to see you more often. You and Lightning have been busy, huh?" frowned Ven.
Terra replied"It's all right, you can tell her that I'm still alive."
"Okay. Anway, would you like to spar? We haven't done anything together for a while" said Ventus.
Terra nodded"You're on."
Terra and Ventus took out their keyblades and began to duel. Lightning addressed the Dragoon"I've been away for a year, myself. Kain, shouldn't you go check on Cecil and Rosa in Baron?"
The Dragoon shook his head"I'm still not ready."
"I see. Well, I should be going back to Gran Pulse to visit my sister soon when Terra's done sparring" said Lightning.
Nearby, Terra and Ventus exchanged a few more blows, the brunette smiled as he yielded"Looks like you've still been training well."
"Thanks, Terra. Will Aqua and I see you later, then?" inquired the blond.
Terra replied"We'll see. Light, is there anything else you wish to do together?"
The pink haired woman replied"Up to you, but we really shouldn't distance ourselves from our home worlds for too long."
Three months later, Sora was finishing a task for the King of Baron at Cecil's homeworld when Aerith contacted him telepathecially"Sora, Kairi has gone into labor."
"Really? I'll be there as soon as I can" said Sora.
"Your mother is there, too, along with others. She, Yuffie, Tifa and I bought some clothes and toys for the child anyway. Be back here as soon as you can" said Aerith.
Sora boarded the Gummi Ship he was using and headed back to Radiant Garden. He disembarked and hurried to a makeshift infirmary where Kairi was now awaiting her child.
"How is Kairi?" inquired Sora.
His mother, June replied"She'll be fine, Yuna and Aerith are serving as her midwifes."
Sora waited outside the room next door until Yuna opened the door"Sora, you can come in. Kairi is fine and you two now have a little girl."
The brunette smiled and walked in to see Kairi sitting on a bed, holding her's and Sora's child. June followed in close behind.
"Congratulations, Sora. She has a low birth weight, but your child is perfectly healthy otherwise" said Aerith.
June smiled at her new grandchild and addressed Kairi"Did you two pick a name yet?"
Sora replied"We picked one. How does Serenia sound?"
"Serenia... That has a fine ring to it. Sora, Kairi, congratulations" smiled the new grandmother.
Sora smiled"It's great having a family like this."
Kairi breathed"I wonder if she'll be more like you or me."
"Who cares?" said Sora.
"You're right, we're blessed as it is" said his wife.
Though peace was brought back and reigned for a long time, Sora and his friends were soon to deal with a new mystery.
In a distant, unexplored world, living in a deserted castle was a mysterious figure with bright sapphire eyes, violet hair which is flecked with white and clad in blue and black garmets. With him, he held a keyblade of unknown origin.
The man was deep in thought'Three thousand years have nearly past with thirteen short years until the three thousandth. Soon, the moon will be eclipsed by the light of the sun, and I shall break the curse brought upon me and the worlds'.
A man with pinkish hair apporached him"You hired me, didn't you?"
"Yes, do you know why I summoned you?" spoke the mystery man.
"Merely something about the Stone of Secrets, not that I really care" said the pink haired man.
The mystery being responded"As a survivor of an ancient war which originally caused the separation of worlds, I brought about a plague which enacts darkness and nightmares to those sensative to it."
"Oh, come now, you called us here for that?" said a blond woman.
"Be still, the whereabouts of the shards of the artifact listed are still unknown to me. With it I can unlock the hidden mysteries of the world order which might remain uncover, and perhaps unlock the secrets of Kingdom Hearts" said the man.
The pink haired man addressed the blond woman"Arlene, you heard him. So tell me, what is your plan?"
"Upon the thirteenth year, select worlds will become eclipsed in twilight, then the artifacts of secrets will be revealed. I will not stop until I can return true light to the worlds" said the man.
Arlene scoffed"Stuff of legends, huh? Not very believable, but I'm in. Now, you know my name is Arlene, the man next to me is Lumaria, might I ask you yours?"
The mystery man replied"My name was lost to history, but some call me Tua Sanhille. Now, my companions, we wait till the thirteenth year, and we'll plan on unlocking the forgotten mysteries of the World Order."
"Very well" said the pink haired man.
Okay, not too bad for the start of a Kingdom Hearts/Dissidia Final Fantasy crossover sequel. I wasn't going to do this until after I completed the other fics on my profile, but I'm not confident with the other fics on my profile.
As for the new supposed antagonist, I will explain more about him over the course of the next few chapters. Arlene and Lumaria sound as though they could fit with Marluxia and Larxene's names, no? I take back my thought about what Luxord's real name could have been, maybe it was Dorlu.
I have no idea who the villain for future kingdom hearts games will be after the Xehanort Saga. I imagine that if it was a Wielder of Light, I don't think he or she would be as bad as Xehanort, but perhaps he could be an extremist who believes that he's doing good for the worlds.
Though the fic will center on Sora's daughter for most of the fic, Sora and many of the others will be in the fic. Other OCs may also be included
Ceodore will also play a role, even though he might not ever be in a Kingdom Hearts game. Keep in mind that this won't be related to my Final Fantasy IV:The After Years novelization.
Please feel free to review. Let me know what you think so far. Oh, and forgive me for changing one of the characters' names at the last minute, I just thought a different name would work for the OC in question. If that violates the guidelines, please don't hesitate to tell me straight, okay?
