Chapter 1: The Royal Message
It was the middle of a hot afternoon as the sun slowly moved across the sky over the massive blue ocean as a flock of sea gulls flew over a small island located almost in the middle of the ocean which was known as the Destiny Islands.
Upon this island lived three kids by the names of Sora , Riku and Kairi who were all the best of friends since they were really little that did almost everything together as a team from swimming in the ocean , eating freshly picked fruit from the trees and racing one another down the shores of the coastline in which they did everyday until a little while ago there peaceful home was destroyed by a dark force of creatures called the Heartless and to make things worse they were all separted because of it until Sora met some new friends that helped me to restore the balance of light again with the help of a mysterious weapon that was given to him by magic known as the legardary Keyblade and in the process returned his island home back to the way it was before anything bad happened to it but for today they decided to just lay down on the soft sands of the beach glazing up into the sky watching the clouds roll by.
"I'm so bored right now , there isn't anything to do around here" said Riku in a bored like voice to his friends.
"What are the other kids on the island doing?" asked Kairi.
"I think they are all on the other side of the island playing pirates with their fake wooden swords.
But it wouldn't matter because I could beat them with my weapon anytime without breaking a sweat" answered Sora to Kairi's question as he slowly got up from the ground.
"Let me guess , your weapon is the Keyblade?" asked Riku.
"Of course I'm talking about the Keyblade.
I never leave home without it now just in case those Heartless freaks ever come back to cause trouble here again" said Sora as he then made the Keyblade appear in his right hand then began to show off some cool moves to his friends.
"You've gotten alot better with your fighting skills Sora.
Your almost as good as Riku" said Kairi as she continued to watch Sora showoff his skills.
"The only reason he's good is because of that Keyblade but remember that I was the real Keyblade Master" said Riku as he then began to slowly lifted himself up until he was sitting on his butt.
"Yeah I know but remember this also Riku that you chose to follow the path of darkness while I chose the path of light so I'm the true Keyblade Master now" said Sora as he then stopped what he was doing and looked over to his friends.
"I know what I did was wrong after I joined forces with the darkness but after meeting up with that King Mickey guy then I only knew that I did it to find Kairi and you so we can all be back together again" said Riku.
"We just have to remember that no matter how far away from each other we are that we will always be connected by our hearts" said Kairi.
"Right!" answered both boys at the same time then without warning , it began to become dark all around the area that the kids were in for some reason.
"That's strange" said Riku as he saw that everything around him got so dark all of the sudden.
"Sora , I thought you said that it was suppose to be sunny for the rest of the day?" asked Kairi as he looked up and right into Sora's eyes.
"I thought it was suppose to be too?" questioned Sora for a moment.
"Guys , I think I know the reason why it got so dark and it's right above us" said Riku as he pointed his finger up to sky.
Both Sora and Kairi then looked up into the sky where Riku was pointing his finger to and there hovering in the sky was a large space ship almost like the one from Star Trek which was showing beginning to move down toward the ground almost to where the friends were so they quickly moved out of the way so they wouldn't be crashed by it as it landed.
"What is that?" asked Kairi in a scared voice as she stayed close to her friends.
"I'm not really sure but what I would like to know is if it's friendly or dangerous?" asked Sora.
A few seconds after the space ship landed , a stairway shot out from the side of it which after it hit the ground caused a door to open up at the top of the stairs where a strange being began to step out into the light of the sun then yelled out to the kids "I'm about the most friendly type of person you could ever meet!".
After hearing the being from the ship yell out those words , Sora then in his mind knew who the voice belonged to and yelled out "Is that you , Goofy?".
"If you mean Goofy , Captain of the Royal Knights then you are correct!" yelled out the being who turned out to be who Sora believed it was which was his good friend Goofy from the Disney Castle world.
Sora knew Goofy for awhile now because the funny looking knight was one of his new friends that traveled with him to the many other worlds in search for Sora's friends but also to help locate the great King Mickey so Sora then ran over to his old toon friend in which they both gave each other a high five as a welcome sign.
"It's been awhile since we last met" said Sora.
"I don't know , I thought we met not too long ago" answered Goofy in his normal goofy way.
"Where or when did you get such a giant ship , it's almost a hundred times bigger than your other one?'' asked Kairi as both she and Riku walked over to glaze over the size of the ship.
"Yeah , that thing must have costs a fortune to pay for" said Riku.
"It's a interesting fact that the Gummi Ship crew created this new Gummi Ship with almost all the leftover Gummi Block pieces that the three of us had found on all over journeys through the other worlds we visited not to long ago" answered another strange being that started to walk down the stairs of the ship in which Sora quickly knew that it was his other toon friend by the name of Donald Duck who just like Goofy was from the same kingdom but instead of being a knight he was the Royal Wizard that was stilled in the many arts of magic.
"Hey there Donald , how's life been treating you!" yelled Sora as he was happy to see Donald once again.
"It's been treating me just fine but we don't have time for a reunion" answered Donald.
"Why is that, I though you guys came to visit Sora and maybe to relax for a bit" asked Kairi.
"Wish we could , but we came to deliver a message for our young Keyblade Master" said Donald as he began to search his pocket for the message he and Goofy were suppose to give to Sora.
"I bet we may just have enought time for just to relax in the sun for a few minutes" said Goofy.
"WE DON'T HAVE TIME GOOFY!" yelled Donald as he was still looking for the message.
Everyone waited for a few minutes as Donald continued to look for the message until out of nowhere , Goofy remembered something then he looked into his front pocket of his shirt and to everyone's surprise he pulled out a piece of paper that had the king's seal on it then followed by saying "Is this the thing your looking for Donald?".
"How on earth did you get it when I thought I got it?" asked Donald as he was now confused on how Goofy had it and not himself.
"I think you left the room to get the ship ready for take-off before King Mickey gave you the message so he gave it to me instead to pass on" answered Goofy.
"Then what are you waiting for , give Sora the message" said Donald.
"Okay" said Goofy as he them handed the paper over to Sora.
Sora then began to read over the letter that was given to him until Riku asked him "What does it say?".
"It's a message from King Mickey , he wishes to meet with me for a important meeting at his castle today" answered Sora.
"Do you think it has anything to do with the Heartless?" asked Kairi.
"Maybe" said Sora.
"So what are you going to do?" asked Riku.
"As the Keyblade Master , it's my job to protect all living things from the dark forces out there in the universe so I must go to Disney Castle to see what is up" answered Sora.
"We better get going then , if this does involve the Heartless then we may not have enough time left" said Donald as he began to walk up the stairs again into the ship.
"We better do what Donald says , we don't want to keep the King waiting any longer" said Goofy as he followed behind Donald up the stairs too.
"I guess I have to say goodbye to you guys , I don't know when I'll be back but I'll try to be back as soon as I can" said Sora.
"Kairi and I know what you have to do is important so we understand" said Riku.
"Could you tell my parents that I had to go do a important task for awhile?" asked Sora.
"Of course we will but promise us that you'll come back here safe" said Kairi as she was almost ready to cry knowing that her friend was leaving.
"Don't worry Kairi , I'll be back in no time" said Sora as he then gave Kairi a hug.
"Be sure to tell King Mickey that I said hi" said Riku.
"I'll do that as soon as I get to the castle" said Sora as both boys gave each other a high five as their way of saying goodbye.
"Come on Sora , we got to get going!" yelled Goofy.
"Coming!" yelled Sora as he then began to run up the stairs.
As soon as Sora was inside the ship , Goofy pushed a button that caused the door to close while also making the stairs return into the ship's side while Donald who was in the driver's seat started up the ship until it was finally able to lift off from the ground then with a mightly blow from the back engine they flew off into the sky until Sora's friends couldn't see it anymore.
"Do you really think that Sora can take care of whatever is going on?" asked Kairi as she looked over to Riku.
Riku continued to look up into the sky then followed Kairi's question by then saying to her "No need to worry because deep in my heart I know that Sora along with those guys can take care of anything that comes their way , I just know they can".
