"Thinking of you, wherever you are.
We pray for our sorrows to end, and hope that our hearts will blend.
Now I will step forward to realize this wish.
And who knows:
starting a new journey may not be so hard,
or maybe it has already begun.
There are many worlds, but they share the same sky,
one sky, one destiny."

A boy with a spiky brunette hair held a letter in his hand. He was laying at the mailbox, while his deep blue eyes gazed every words. He wore a black shirt and black baggy pants with serveral yellow belts. He wore an oversized but comfort yellow and black shoes with fingerless gloves in his hands.
He is the one that saved the world from falling into darkness twice. Couple of days ago, the boy was waken from his Mark of Mastery test slumber. Not only he failed the test, the Organization XIII were almost have him to be the 13th vessel.
His name is Sora.
After feeling both happy, confused, and mad… Happy because his best friend Riku became Keyblade Master, confused because of Axel suddenly alive and he wanted to be called Lea, and a Keyblade Wielder? Sora couldn't believe it even now. And the last, he mad because he felt so stupid to let himself fell into Xehanort's trap. Some Keyblade Wielder he is.
Sora clunched his hand when he remembered the unpleasant memories with Xehanort and his gang. Then he realised he was holding Kairi's letter. Feeling guilt, he tried to make the paper straight again.
Sora read Kairi's letter everytime he missed his friends. He was leaning at the Traverse Town's mail box. Meow Wow, his first Dream Eater, was sleeping beside him. He took out Kairi's charm with his vacant hand, and looked at it. Sora always brought these two item wherever he go, to remember what he left behind and to be sure to come back home.
It has been a week, and he still at the sleeping world. What was he doing there again? At first Sora just want to see if all of his Dream Eater were still alive. He just glad everyone he fough with at the Mark of Mastery was there.
After that, he went around the town, hoping to found Neku, or Joshua, or even Shiki and Rhyme, but besides nightmares the town was practically empty.
Then Sora went to another dream world he could go. Notredame, The Grid, even the sleeping world version the Misterious Tower, but he couldn't find anyone. He had feeling all of the people he knew was awaken from their slumber because of the sleeping keyhole Sora and Riku had open in every world. He just hope he could meet everyone again.
After went around a week, he went back to Traverse Town. He went to the first district, and he found himself leaning at the mailbox.
He read Kairi's letter couples of time, he closed his eyes, tried to think what to do from now on.
"Roxas…"
The word came from his mouth. That's right, there is other things he need to do.
Roxas is Sora's nobody. To save Kairi, Sora used a keyblad to release her heart. The result, Kairi was saved, but Sora turned into a heartless, and Roxas was born. Xemnas has taken Roxas to became member of the organization for a year but then he betrayed them and went back inside Sora, his somebody.
Sometimes Sora saw his nobody in his sleep. Not only Roxas, he had a dream of other people he didn't know as well. "I need to know who were the people in my dream," he think of himself.
He remembered in his test, Roxas showed him his memories. It was memories full of pain, grieved, yet there are also happy moment that precious to Roxas. He ia a nobody, yet he shed a tears, he had hope, and he had a dream too. A nobody, who was not supposed to exist, was growing a heart on his own. Even if he is Sora's nobody, he's not Sora at the same time.
The second person was Namine. Sora saw her at his dream only for a moment, and he remembered he wanted to say thanks to her, even if he didn't know what to thank for. But he felt in his heart, that it was important, and it was right, to him, and to Namine.
The third was the black haired girl wearing a black coat. He didn't know her at all. Who is she? Why did she appear in his dream? And why did he cried when he saw her? And her face…. She reminds him of Kairi a lot. It bugged him ever since Sora was awaken from his test slumber.
That is not all. Sora also wondered who the girl with the blue hair and a man with spiky black hair was. The two person he thought was Riku and Kairi, then his dream changed shape, became two older people he never knew. He also remembered he met the blue haired girl when he was like, four? But that's it. He didn't know her name, or who she was, and the reason why all of the sudden he remembered all this.
All of this made the Keyblade Wielder confused even more. It's like everything didn't make sense to him at all. Why would the people he didn't even know appeared in his dream? Besides Roxas, he wondered if every one of them have a connection to him.
Sora sighed. He patted Meow wow beside him, and his first dream eater awaken and bounced with delight. Sora smiled at him, then he looked up to see the sky. He think of his friends… Riku, Kairi, Donald, Goofy, and the King…
Then he wondered…. Are the sky at the dream world, were connected to the real world as well?
One sky, one destiny.
Sora only smiled. He could only believe with his heart, and he believed that there is a way. Like when he and Riku were stucked at the Realm of Darkness… the door of light suddenly opened before them, giving them answers to come home.
"Looks like I need to follow my destiny. To the door to light… And beyond that, I will find the answer I seek." He said to himself. Meow Wow juggled beside him to asked some attention. Sora scratched his dream eater gently.
"It's time to get back," he said.
Sora stand up and summoned his keyblade. There are burst of light on his hand, and a blade with the shaped of key appeared. Sora pointed his keyblade in front of him, and a keyhole formed from empty spaces. He shots a light to the keyhole, and he could hear the sound of unlocking something, and a light began to shine from inside the keyhole.
Then everything went white.

"I wonder how Sora is doing…"
Kairi sighed occasionally in the middle of her training at the Mysterious Tower. Riku was in front of her, helping Kairi to get better with a spar. They had battled for a couple of time, he could see Kairi learn fast to wield a keyblade, especially magic.
Kairi remembered when Riku went home to island by himself. She asked him where Sora is, but Riku said he had another business. He invited Kairi to follow him meet Yen Sid. She accepted the offer and here she is, learning how to wield a keyblade as one of the Guardian of Light and a Princess of Heart.
"Kairi, heads up!" Riku shouted when he rushed to her. Kairi snapped from her daydreaming and she raised her keyblade to parry Riku. Riku slashed Kairi hard with the Way to Dawn, and Kairi parried him, but she was pushed backward because of his power.
Kairi used Aero to blow Riku away, but Riku cast a dark shield in front of her. He slashed his keyblade powerful enough to slam her to the floor.
"Ouch!" She cringed at the floor. Riku offered his hand, and she accepted him.
"That's what you got when you were daydreaming in the middle of training," the new Keyblade Master said. "I know you were thinking about him…"
Kairi looked down, "sorry…" His childhood friend knew her well.
Riku pulled her hand so she could stand up. "Don't worry, he'll be back." He dismissed his keyblade, and gave Kairi a smile. "You know him like I do. He's strong, he saved the world twice. You should give him more credits."
Kairi smile, then she noticed someone opened the door. She and Riku titled their head and saw a man entered the room.
The man has a red long and spiky hair, while his eyes gleamed with jade colour. He looked at his middle twenty. His name is Lea.
Lea was the member of the organization while he was still a nobody named Axel. Surprisingly, when he thought he had died, he and the rest of the organization lived and became human again. After saving Sora from Xehanort in the nick of time, Sora and Riku were surprised knowing that he came to Yen Sid to became one of the Keyblade Wielder.
At first Kairi didn't believe her eyes. She knew him, he's the one who kidnapped her!
"Done practicing already?" The spiky head asked them.
Kairi raised her keyblade and glared the man. "You're Axel, what do you want?"
Lea raised one of his eyebrow. He wore a casual cloth with yellow scarf. He discarded his old cloth, and Yen Sid forbidded him to travel with the dark corridor. It was weird, to saw him with something else than a black coat.
"Wait Kairi, he's not-" Riku tried to explained her, until Lea was laughing hard.
"I'm here to kidnap you again princess. And by the way," he rushed suddenly to Kairi," call me Lea!"
Kairi casted couple of spells, but Lea dodged them all. He tried to grab the princess with his bare hand, but Kairi dodged then and slashed with her Destiny Embrance. Lea jumped backward, and raised his hand like he wanted to summon his weapon, but nothing came. He cursed and jumped backward again to dodge another of Kairi's thrust.
Riku saw the whole duel with confused feeling. Why Axel, he mean Lea, would say something like want to kidnap Kairi? And why didn't he summoned his weapon?
Lea dodged her attack, raised his hand again, tried to summoned his weapon again, and cursed again. Kairi amused with what Lea have done, and stopped attacking. She just stand there, glared the red spiky head.
"What are you doing?" She asked him.
"Trying to summon my weapon, what else?" Then a burst of flame came in his hand without warning, a chakram keyblade appeared in his hand. "You came out after the battle is over?" He sighed.
Kairi shocked when she saw what was Lea summoned. She expected a chakram, but a keyblade appeared in his hand instead. "Wait, how come you have a keyblade? What's going on?"
Riku sighed and crossed his arm. "I get it now. You used Kairi to help you train to summon your keyblade. That's not nice you know…" he walk across the room to Kairi side. Kairi looked at him with question look. "Kairi.. this guy here," he pointed at Lea," his name isn't Axel. He is Lea."
"You mean he had a twin?" Kairi asked him. Lea laughted at her.
"Not even close princess," the red spiky head said. "Axel is my nobody. Technically, he is me. You see, I have been recompleted. All the organization have. Now we are whole again, as a person. Oh, and sorry if I kidnapped you that other day. I was kinda… desperate to meet my friend."
"I forgive you," Kairi said with smile, but the smile didn't last long. "But that doesn't mean I forgive you for what you have done today."
"Come on princess, I just want to teased you a little. Besides, Master Yen Sid told me to spar with you. He said it could help me summoned this babe here," he raised his keyblade.
"And don't call me princess!" She said. "I have a name you know."
"Got it, princess Kairi.." Lea gave her a sly smile.
Kairi pouted, and she raised her keyblade. She glared him and readied her battle position.
"Now you want a spar eh?" Lea grinned like he succeed his taunt. "What a coincidence, I'd like to try my new weapon here too!"
Kairi and Lea posed their keyblade to start a battle, but suddenly Riku walked between them. "Okay that's enough. I think you two need to stop," the keyblade master said. "Kairi, I've told not to use magic that often. Look at the mess!"
Kairi looked around, and she could see the table was frozen, the items was blown away because of fire and wind, and many items scattered at the floor. "Uups.. I guess Axel made me lost my control."
"Oh great, now you blame me for your own mess.." Lea said. Kairi put her tongue out. "And it's Lea now. Got it memorized?"
Riku sighed. Now he had two people bickering each other to be babysit. "Come on you two, help me clean. This room usually belongs to the three fairies. If they know we wreck their things I don't think they'll be happy. After this, let's move out to Radiant Garden."
"Radiant Garden? Why?" Lea asked.
"Because Lea, I just can imagine your fire will burn everything in here. This place is not that big." Riku explained. "And Radiant Garden had a bigger space to train. We can fight heartless at there too."
"Heartless? Are you sure I can fight them?" Kairi asked Riku with worried look.
Riku nodded. "You're strong enough to fight them, and it's a good experience to. Now let's clean this place."
The three people began to clean the room. Kairi was sweeping the floor, while Riku and Lea arranges the table and the scattered item. After an hour, they went to Yen Sid for approval to train at Radiant Garden. Yen Sid agreed, and the three of them saluted him and went outside to ride Gummi Ship.
"So, who'll be driving?" Kairi asked while three of them descending the long stairs.
"I'll be!" Lea said with anticipation. Riku saw him with a suspicous look.
"Wait, I remember you went to other world with the Corridor of Darkness before Master Yen Sid forbid you. And I know you came here with Donald and Goofy before both of them went home. So, have you ever drive one?" Riku asked him.
"Nope, but I'm willing to learn!" The spiky red head said with smile while he opened the main door. Both of the teen looked at him with disbelief. The trio Keyblade Wielders step outside and went to the Gummi Ship in front of them.
"Forget it, I'll be the one who'll drive." Riku said before he entered the gummi ship.
"I'll second that." Kairi followed her childhood friend.
Lea followed them with a sulky face. "So much for that," he muttered.
After a moment, the gummi ship raised from land, then with a thrust the ship fly to the sky until it was gone from sight.
A minute later, a burst of light appeared in front of the tower. A keyhole is formed, and a shilouette of a spiky head boy became visible.
The boy walked to the front of the tower. His deep blue eyes was gazing the end of the tower with anticipation.
"I wonder if anyone here.." Sora said as he walked through the door. He climbed many stairs until he reach the top, and when he opened the door, he could see Yen Sid sitting at his favorite chair. "Master Yen Sid, I'm back."
"Welcome back Sora. You just missed Riku and the others. They have gone before you came," the master said while he touched his long beard.
"Oh…" Sora looked down with dissapointment. Then he turned his head to face Yen Sid. He hestitated at first but then he became serious to met Yen Sid's gaze.
"Master Yen Sid, there is something I need to talk to you."

Hi there, my name is Syuli, and this is my first fanfic. English is not my native language so I'm very sorry if the grammar or the spell was all messed up.
I really like Kingdom Heart. The story was simple, yet complex at the same time. The main point of the story is almost the same with every game we ever play. Light versus darkness, good versus bad, kindness versus hatred, and so on. After Kingdom Heart franchise continued from its second main sequel, the story became more and more complex. Yet I still find it intruiging, for they are so many twist plot and unpredicted stories.
There are so many mistery at Kingdom Hearts we didn't know. I don't really understand why Maleficent wants Jiminy's journal, or the connection of Xehanort and the Lost Masters,and so… don't expect me to be accurate like the game.
One thing for sure, all of the keyblade wielders we know and love will appear in this sequel. If there is anything weird, the grammer, or the spell, or the story , or anything at all, let me know. Oh! And please review! I want to be better at writing too :3
Cheers~
