A shadowy figure sat on a throne where a young, white-haired man knelt in front of him.

"Xehanort." the dark figure started

"I want you to destroy all those retched Keybearers, all except Sora, I want to see how powerful he is compared to his father."

Xehanort stood and bowed

"Yes my lord, but what of the other three we cannot find?"

"I shall deal with them. Now go."

Xehanort bowed again then turned and walked out of the dark room.

A burnet boy sat up in bed with a start.

"Who was that, and why does he want only me?" Sora wondered.

"Well I'll worry about that later, tomorrow is our senior graduation." Sora gave a small chuckle and went back to sleep.

A shadowy figure sat on a throne where a young, white raised, shirtless man knelt in front of him.

"Weiss,"

The dark figure started

"I want you to slash, strangle, slaughter, beat, stab, crush, garrot, impale, shoot, and execute that boy of yours, what is his name again? Riku?"

Weiss nodded

"I will master, to finally finish off all my ties to that retched world."

The dark figure gave an evil smile

"Good, now go."

Weiss bowed and walked out of the dark room.

A white-haired boy fell out of his bed. When he sat back up he shook his head fiercely.

"He can't be back." Riku stood

" I won't let him hurt anyone else." he began getting ready for work.

A shadowy figure sat on a throne where a tall, caped, horned, witch knelt in front of him.

"Maleficent," The dark figure started

"I want you to eradicate that Princess of Heart, Kairi."

Maleficent bowed and turned to leave

"Wait, use these new solder,"

A few ghostlike beings materialized

"they are called Soulless, they are created when someone losses their free will, or when they become a Heartless."

Maleficent bowed and walked out of the dark room.

A maroon haired girl sat up in her bed

"Soulless, Maleficent's new weapon."

Kairi looked at her alarm clock, it would go off in half an hour.

"May as well git ready, today is graduation."


Chapter I

Sora smiled as he saw his favorite red-head locking her front door. When he got close he put an arm around her.

"Hay Kai." he said when she jumped.

"Oh, it's you Sora." Kairi confirmed as she gave him a kiss.

"Is Riku joining us this morning?" She asked a short time later.

Sora shook his head

"He said he was going to work early this morning so he could be at graduation."

The two of them walked together in silence until Selphie and Tidus joind them, but Sora and Kairi ignored them. The two of them were thinking of the dream the other didn't know they had had.

That shadow man wants to kill Riku and Kairi. How can I stop him? Sora thought.

Well we could always steal a Gummi and fight Xehanort solo. Sora's Nobody Roxas answered.

We can't do that, it would only make Riku and Kairi follow us, plus we wouldn't be able to take Xehanort alone or even with you and I. Remember Yen Sid said we need seven Keyblade masters.

Bla bla bla.

Sora smiled

"See, Sora agrees with me." Tidus said.

"Sorry Tidus, I wasn't paying any attention to what you said."

Tidus hung his head

"Man, and I thought you believed I could beat Wakka in Blitz."

Sora shook his head

"Once you can beat Riku in a dual can you beat Wakka in Blitz."

Tidus let out a groan

"Never would have thought I'd say this but thank God we're at school."

Selphie laughed "Tidus you still have summer school to get your last, two, credits?"

Tidus groaned again "Don't remind me."

The four of them all laughed for a second then Kairi gave Sora a small kiss and they all went to their classes.


Riku and Wakka both let out a heaving grown as they lifted a large crate and carried it to the ship they were loading.

"Hey Riku, you alright ya?" Wakka asked.

"Yeah, just didn't have that good of sleep last night."

The orange haired man gave out a hearty laugh.

"You had a bad dream too ya?"

They let the crate down gently

"Well, I don't know about 'too' but yeah, I had a bad dream."

Wakka smiled

"You know what Kairi would have said four years ago 'Are you still dreaming?"

Wakka smiled and Riku grinned

"She would have said that, wouldn't she?"

Wakka nodded

"You wanna hear what my dream was?" Wakka asked as they sat for their well deserved lunch break.

Riku shrugged "Why not?"

Wakka took a bite of his ramen then said "My dream was that while we were workin' some weird men would come and start shootin' at us."

He gave a hearty bellow "That's not gonna happen ya?"

Riku nodded "Not while you and I are here."

Wakka laughed again, that's when the gun shots started.


Sora jumped as he heard the gun shots from a distance. He looked out the cafeteria window and saw solders rushing the docks. Sora looked at Kairi.

"Riku." he said

Her eyes widened as she heard the shots. They ran out of the lunch room and into Heartless and ghostlike creatures.

"Soulless."

Kairi breathed.

There was a flash of gold, some Heartless disappeared, The King then landed in front of them as a blast of fire destroyed more Heartless and some Soulless. A man in red with two swords walked up and stood next to The King.

"Sora, Kairi help us protect the other students." The King ordered.

Kairi summoned Destiny's Embrace, her Keyblade, it had a gold sand and blue water hand guard in the shape of a heart, a gold bar for the blade and ended with the 'teeth', three flowers of blue, red, and yellow, as Sora summoned Oathkeeper, a nearly pure white Keyblade with two bird wings as the hand guards it had a heart at the end of the blade with the symbol for light as its 'teeth', and Oblivion, a pure black Keyblade with two bat wings as the hand guard and had the symbol for darkness as the 'teeth', the four warriors fought the invaders as a thin figure flipped over them and with a blue fish-hook shaped blade, Tidus fought alongside of them. Tidus began laughing when the last monster faded.

"I thought they would be harder seeing how tough you and Riku have gotten, Sora."

There was an evil laugh as green flames appeared and dissipated with Maleficent standing in their place

"Don't worry there will be more and stronger ones later, I was just testing my new toys." She started cackling as she faded into flames. The four Keyblades were dismissed Tidus somehow hid his sword and the man in red sheathed his.

"We have to help Riku." Sora said to The King who turned to the man in red,

"Ingus, get the ship ready we're leaving ASAP." Ingus nodded as they all ran out of the school.


As soon as the gun shots had started Wakka had jumped over the table and Riku flipped it to shield them. Wakka pointed at a tall black-haired man with black leather clothing, a gold claw, gold pointed boots, and a red cloak, he took out a three barreled pistol and began shooting at the attacking solders.

"Who's that?" Wakka asked

"I don't know him." Riku answered.

The man walked slowly to them as he shot at the solders and dodging incoming bullets. When he got close he said in a deep, low voice

"Riku use your Keyblade."

Riku nodded and summoned Way to Dawn, a Keyblade with a white bird wing and a black bat wing hand guard, a black bat wing blade, and a white bird wing for the 'teeth', and jumped over the table to charge the solders who stopped firing and yelled

"Hail Weiss!"

Riku stopped

What did they say?

The solders spread apart and a taller, older, shirtless version of Riku walked out of the crowd. He began laughing

"Both the men I wanted to kill; Vincent Valentine and my ownn flesh and blood, Riku Tsvete."

Riku glared angerly

"You will pay for what you did all those years ago."

Weiss grind

"Will I? Or will you lose everything?"

He drew two katanas with rifle barrels along the dull edge. Before anything else happened four more people ran up to join Riku, three of them were still in their school uniforms. Sora, Kairi, and The King all summoned there Keyblades as Tidus drew his fish-hook like sword. Weiss and his troops faded into dark portals. Riku turned to thank Vincent but he too had disappeared.

When all five Islanders and The King made it to the Gummi hanger a tall blond, blue-eyed man warring a red vest with a white-collar and light blue puffed up shouldes, black armor sleeves, gloves, leggings and boots with spurs, he also had a gold chain around his neck that ended with a large teardrop shaped emerald.

"Mickey, you know the only reason I came hear."

The King nodded

"You should know better than anyone that duty comes before personal matters Ingus."

"I know but she thinks I've been dead for fifteen years."

"I know, but you still have a mission to complete, you can return after."

Ingus sighed and turned to Sora "You doing OK son?"

"Yeah and the name's Sora."

Ingus turned back to The King

"No one has told him?"

The King shook his head

"You can tell him when we're in the air."

Everyone went up the landing ramp to the kings personal Gummi ship


I have fixed this chapter, thanks to Peach for the advise.
