For those who read this don't worry nothing changed just wanted and go through the chapter and correct the horrendous typos. Hopefully anyone who comes after this wont cringe as much. I'll be going though the first several chapters to go and catch all the mistakes. I apologize for not catching them at first. Enjoy :)

Chapter 1

Sora landed on one of the platforms in the Dive to the Heart for the first time. He's just been flashed with images of his home, Destiny Islands, his friends: Riku and Kari, and is now surrounded by darkness. A platform appears beneath Sora's feet. He can't shake the familiar feeling of the place.

A voice began to speak to him. So much to do, so little time... Take your time. Don't be afraid. The door is still shut. Sora thinks to himself he's heard this voice before. A long time ago. There is a power that sleeps within you. If you give it form... It will give you strength. A shield, a wand, and a sword appeared around him. Each weapon can be either good or evil... The power to save or to ruin. Sora took the dream sword and was taken deeper to another station. He encountered his first heartless.

Sora began to attack the Darkness. He easily defeated it. More appeared and fell just as easily. Sora is swallowed by a pool of Darkness. He then saw a door and stepped through it. He appeared on another platform and more heartless appeared. Sora fought and defeated them again. Glass stairs appeared and the voice urged him on.

"Who are you?", Sora asked.

Someone who connected with when you were born... I'm not the only one here.

"What do you mean... What's here?" Sora continued to question.

This place represents your heart.

"So your in my heart?"

We are in your heart.

"How can we be in my heart?" Sora was even more confused.

For now press on. There is too much to explain. You won't understand just yet.

Sora crossed his arms and thought about it for a moment. "Fine. What now?" he said as he uncrossed his arms.

Step into the light. The closer you get to the light. The bigger your shadow.

A shadow in Sora's shape appears behind him. Coming out of the ground. It gains a form. It looked like Sora with black hair and yellow eyes. A dark version of the sword Sora has is in the shadow's hands. "Are you the voice?" Sora asks.

"No", the shadow responds, " A heart is made of both darkness and light... I am your darkness."

They clashed. Sora tried his hardest to fight his darkness but couldn't keep up. Sora became frightened by his shadow's raw power. Don't be afraid... Because the darker the room the brighter the light. Don't be afraid. You have the strongest power of all.

Sora, now reinvigorated, locked blades with his shadow. It was stronger than Sora was. He legs began to buckle from his shadow's strength. Sora thought about the times he fought Riku. Riku was stronger then Sora as well, but that never stopped him. Sora stepped to the side and let the blades slide against one another. His shadow stumbled forward and Sora was able to get a quick combo in.

The Shadow chuckled and disappeared. It waited a few seconds and Sora was beginning to get anxious. It rose from Sora's shadow menacingly. Sora's darker self leaned in and whispered "There's a reason why man fears the dark." Sora became wide eyed and spun around. His shadow was gone again. Sora was starting to worry. His previous resolve gone.

The shadow appeared behind him again and struck him down. Sora forced himself up and locked blades again. He could feel himself falter and want to give in.

Borrow my power.

The dream sword in Sora's hands became the Wayward Wind keyblade. Sora could feel warmth coming from the blade. Sora now felt confident he could win. He began to beat back his shadow. The shadow tried to disappear again;however, Sora was prepared. He spun on his heels, land a three hit combo, and made his shadow stumble back.

Before he could strike a final blow, Sora was absorbed by a Dark pool. Don't be afraid. Never forget... You have the strongest weapon of all. The shadow gets closer as Sora sinks in. "Also... Your heart is both a sanctuary... And a PRISON." Sora fades away.

Ventus appears. "You were supposed to let his shadow fight him... Vanitas."

"I look like him don't I? Besides you didn't have to lend him your keyblade", Vanitas retorted while rubbing his bruises.

"Next time don't interfere. I wish that was true though, but we needed to see if his heart was strong enough to wield a Keyblade" Ventus responded.

"You're right but he's weak... Like a certain someone I know" Vanitas said.

"I beat you" Ventus said as he smirked.

"Luck. Anyway he needs to be ready. If he falls before you awaken then we're both dead" Vanitas explained.

"Arrogant as always. I believe he'll be fine" Ventus hopped.

"Naive as always" Vanitas said.

"Wake up you lazy bum".
