Kingdom Hearts III: The Hearts Of Darkness
A/N: Welcome to my Kingdom Hearts fanfic The Hearts Of Darkness. This is obviously going to continue the story and introduce a few new characters of my own design. Well without further ado, take it away Sora!
Sora: With pleasure! B0nd0fS0uls doesn't own Kingdom Hearts. Disney, Square Enix, and Tetsuya Nomura do!
Chapter 1: The New Adventure Begins
Riku, Sora, and Kairi stood there and looked at the letter from the King. In summary, it said that another threat has emerged and that a ship would be there in a few hours to pick them up and bring them to Radiant Garden for the briefing of it. They stared at it in shock and amazement.
"Oh man, not again," Sora complained.
"Even I'm coming along this time," Kairi said. "What does that mean?"
"I suppose it means that things have gotten really bad," Riku said plainly.
"So they'll be here in a few hours," Sora said. "Guess we really should tell our parents about it this time."
They all nodded and went off to tell their parents. After Sora had told his parents, he was gathering a few things.
'At least Kairi is coming with us this time,' Sora thought to himself. 'I guess it's up to me to keep her safe. I really should tell her how I feel though… I'll do that on the Gummi Ship then.'
Sora quickly finished up and headed back to the beach where they had found the letter. He saw that Kairi and Riku were already there talking. When Kairi saw Sora, she waved at him. Filled with his usual happiness, he ran to them.
"So Sora," Riku said, "how did your parents act when you told them that we would be leaving again?"
"They were actually pretty calm about it," Sora said. "What about yours?"
"They were against it for a while but I convinced them," Riku responded.
"So when is our ride getting here?" Kairi asked.
"Don't know," Sora admitted as he sat down. He thought for a moment and said, "Hey , Kairi, how much training have you done with your keyblade?"
"Not much," the redhead replied. "I mostly just try to use moves that I've seen you and Riku use."
"We should probably teach you to use it as well as magic," Sora said. "I'd be glad to teach you."
"And I'd be glad to have you as a teacher," Kairi said smiling and moving some of her hair out of her face.
"Heads up!" Riku said as the Gummi Ship began to descend into the atmosphere. When it landed, the hatch opened and Donald and Goofy ran out to greet Sora. They both enveloped him in a hug, causing them all to fall back.
King Mickey walked out next and said, "Hiya, everyone! How have you been the past few months?"
"Pretty good," they all said.
"Well that's good to hear," said a new voice that neither Sora, Riku, or Kairi recognized. They looked toward the ship and saw a boy that appeared to be the same age as Riku with blond hair and hazel eyes wearing a black shirt with a crown on it (the kind of three pointed crown that's common in the series) and black shorts that went past his knees. "So you three must be Sora, Riku, and Kairi," the boy said. "Nice to meet you."
"Who are you?" Sora asked, now on his feet.
"Forgive me for not introducing myself," the boy said. "I am Max Brazen, and I am a Keybearer just like you three." he held out his hands and summoned two keyblades. The one in his left hand was black. The hand guard around the handle was like the one on the Kingdom Key but black. The blade itself was long and slightly curved. At the end were three menacing needles that stuck out towards the inside of the curve of the keyblade. In his right hand was an identical keyblade except that it was pure white and instead of needles it had points that were rounded off. "These are my two favorite keyblades," he said. He lifted the black one and said, "The 'Death of Innocence,'" he lifted the white one and continued, "and the 'Birth of Hope.' However, I am capable of summoning hundreds of keyblades at once, called the Keyblade Swarm." He dismissed the two keyblades and snapped his fingers. When he did, around fifty different keyblades appeared behind him. Sora even recognized a few keyblades that he had used in the past.
"That's amazing," was all Sora could manage to say.
"It is isn't it?" Max said.
"Max is a good friend of mine," the King said. "I met him when him and his girlfriend had their world taken by the darkness."
"You made a mistake in your words," Max said, his voice and tone darkening. "My home was obliterated by the darkness. It cannot return."
"Well where's your girlfriend?" Kairi said trying to change the subject.
"Being held captive by our new enemies," Max said.
"Oh," Kairi said sadly.
"Well then," Max began with a happier tone, "shall we go?"
Everyone got on board and the Gummi Ship took off. On the Gummi Ship everyone was gathered around.
"So where are we going?" Sora asked.
"Where else?" Donald said. "Radiant Garden.
Sora, Riku, and Kairi immediately perked up at this.
"I'm gonna go take a rest," Kairi said. "Where's my room?"
"Down that hall," Max said, "you'll know it when you see it."
"Kay thanks," she said she got up and began to walk off.
'Come on, Sora!' Sora thought to himself. 'Don't let her walk off! Tell her your feelings!'
"Kairi wait!" Sora said before she walked off. He walked up to her and said, "I want to say something first. I just wanted to say… I love you!" Sora closed his eyes, expecting to be slapped. When he opened his eyes, he saw Kairi standing there crying. But he couldn't understand why what he had said would make her cry… Unless… they were tears of happiness. She reached her arms around his neck, pulled him close, and put her lips to his in a kiss blazing with passion.
When they parted, Kairi said, "I love you, too."
It was then that the newly made couple realized that they had just done that in front of everyone.
"Finally!" Riku said. "You have no idea how long I've been waiting for you two to finally admit your feelings."
The two teens just blushed and laughed.
Sorry if it's a bit short! I'll make some longer ones in the future! Up next is a big reveal with a few old characters coming up soon!
