Yes, I know I should be working on my other story, but this one's been floating around my notebook. I'll try to get up the first chapter today, but if not then tomorrow.


Prologue

Evening Star

Sora, Kairi, and Riku all sat on the Paopu tree of their beloved Destiny Islands. The letter from King Mickey was shaking in Sora's hands, waiting to be opened. With an exited look, Sora opened the letter, quickly taking out the paper.

Dear Sora,

You remember when Ansem's machine exploded? Well, it opened up a number of portals to worlds I didn't even know existed. I was able to purify one that opened up in my Throne Room, but there was a Heartless I had never seen before guarding the other side. There have been reports of strange new Heartless with even stranger powers attacking these new worlds.

I need you to go to the portals and purify them with your keyblade. Riku will explore these new worlds, and rid them of Heartless. We need to know as much as we can on them. Jiminy will come with him, he's good at writing these things.

You need to leave quickly; we don't know how many Heartless have come through these portals.

King Mickey

And so the pair left, to save the Worlds once again. But something would go wrong for Riku in his quest.

Riku stood at the foot of his Gummy ship, looking over an expanse of wasteland. The area was not lit well; the dark storm clouds over head prevented any light from entering the strange world.

The place was devoid of plants, only large rocky spires that reached into the sky like towers. The shadows cast by them where darker than they should have been, and they almost seemed to crawl.

"Strange place…" Riku turned around to survey the place better, but stopped in his tracks as he saw a familiar boy. As he realized it was Sora, the hair on the back of his neck rose.

But before he had the chance to react to his friend's sudden appearance, something hit him in the back of his skull. The last thing he saw before blacking out was a pair of yellow eyes behind Sora.


Author's Notes: Poor Riku… But who is the owner of these strange yellow eyes, and what do they want with Riku? Insert dramatic music here

Well, I might do a prequel of how Sora got these portals purified… Maybe. The more people that want it, the more I will write.
