The ground was cool… Cool enough to awaken Sora from his slumber. He blinked his eyes once, his vision was still a bit blurry so he rubbed his eyes for a moment. Once his sight was clear he realized he was still lying on the ground, the skies above him were pitch black. He sat up quickly and noticed the light below him, it seemed…familiar. He then stood up to see the floor from a better angle. "It's…me." Sora whispered quietly as he looked down on the large circular panel of glass he stood on.
On the glass there was a picture of himself wielding the keyblade in his hands, pictures of his close friends were surrounding his own on the glass. He raised his head from the picture to observe his surroundings, "This place seems familiar."
Immediately after the words left his lips memories flooded his mind…memories of when he was last in a place similar to this. The giant black heartless was one of the first things that came to his mind. Sora shuddered at the thought of it, "I hope I won't see him again." He then put his hands behind his head and took a few steps forward, wondering how he would get out of here. Then he heard a mysterious voice that was as familiar to him as this room.
Sora… The voice whispered.
"Wha-? Who said that?!" Sora yelled, swiping one of his arms through the air, as if to intimidate the voice.
The time has come Sora… The voice continued, ignoring Soras' question.
"The time for what? Who are you?!" Sora yelled louder this time, and to the right of him a bright light appeared. He brought his arm up to shield his eyes from it, within milliseconds the light vanished. He lowered his arm slowly back to his side, and where the light once shone stood a door. The door was wooden with a golden frame, much like the one back on Destiny Islands. He slowly walked towards the door, being more careful with each step towards the door. Once he reached the door he grabbed the handle with both hands, when he had a good grip he pulled the door open.
Inside the door was the bright light that was experienced previously, Sora had to cover his eyes quickly. Once his eyes were covered he walked forward, to where he thought the entrance through the door was, but sadly, he hit the golden door frame instead. "Dang it, that hurt!" He then walked more to his left and made it through the door this time. After a few moments he lowered his arms, and, to his delight, the blinding white light was gone. But instead of the dark room he was in previously, he stood in what looked to be a desert. All around him were the keyblades which he had wielded in the past. "What the…"
Sora turned to see all around him, all the keyblades were sticking up out of the ground. "What is this place?" He spoke softly, wishing for a response but knew he wouldn't get one. Sora sat down on the ground, looking up at the sky… It was the color of dust. Sora sighed, he wanted to see the sky for what it truly was. He was tired of something always blocking his sight of it. After a few minutes of sitting there the voice returned.
The time has come Sora... The same words it has spoken last time.
"The time for what?" Sora spoke, this time not as angered by the voices presence.
Your duty is done… These words confused Sora more, and he stood up quickly.
"My duty, what duty are you talking about?!" Sora yelled, his sudden patience was replaced by confusion once more.
The keyblade chooses its master in times of need, you needed it to save those you loved. The heartless are gone, and your loved ones are safe once more… The voice spoke, seeming to listen to Soras' questions more now. "Okay, but why am I here?" Sora asked, more calmly now that the voice seemed to be listening to him.
Your duty is done… The keyblades around Sora started to sink into the ground, he looked around to see what was going on, obviously confused. It is time for the keyblade to choose its new master…
Sora was shocked by this new news, since he had carried the keyblade for so long he had grown attached to it. "What…"
The time has come Sora… It is time for the keyblade to choose its new master… Your duty is done… 

The voice continued, but Sora was too caught up in the events around him to listen to the voice anymore. He was too shocked to move…too shocked to yell. The keyblades sank slowly into the sand around him…and soon they were gone. Your duty is done, now the final key must be turned…
Then, something started to rise from the sand. Sora stared down, his eyes fixed on the spot of interest. Up rose his most treasured blade… The Kingdom Key. It hovered above the ground, and below it was a keyhole. The keyblade slowly started to lower itself into the keyhole, Sora then grabbed the keyblade and tried to pull it up, but it just kept descending.
When the Kingdom Key was finally in the keyhole it turned, and soon after a loud clicking sound was heard. And as the sound echoed Soras' surroundings started to disappear, being substituted by total darkness. Sora closed his eyes, and when the echoing stopped, he opened them once more. He now stood on a glass panel, just as before, but this was blank.
After staring for a few long moments, Sora collapsed, his surroundings turned black, and his eyes slowly closed. When they reopened, he saw the ocean in front of him, and the right side of his body was hot. He jumped up, realizing he was lying on the hot sand. He quickly wiped off the sand, and then shook his head a bit to make sure he got it all off. Once he stopped, he heard his name being called. He looked behind him, and there stood Kairi by the waterfall yelling his name. Behind her was Riku with his eyes closed and leaning toward the waterfall, obviously trying to hear it. Sora started sneaking over, holding a finger to his lips while looking at Kairi. She understood the message and continued to yell. When Sora then got over to her and Riku, Kairi still pretended to be calling him over, Riku was listening to the waterfall when Sora pushed him. Riku yelled falling into the water making a large splash. Sora and Kairi laughed immediately, but Riku was mad for a few seconds though soon, he couldn't help but laugh with his friends. Sora looked at the two then thought to himself, "Maybe the voice was right… Maybe now that my friends are safe I don't need the keyblade anymore…"
