AN: Alright, guys. Here's a little side-project of mine: my version of KH3. Now, my KH3 is going to have no BbS characters in it because my version of KH3 is probably the most far-away-from-canon version of a KH3 story you will ever read. Why? Because it has Konami in. Right now, the story is pretty innocent, but give it a few chapters and this story's rating with change to 'M'. If you don't want to read that, turn back now. For the rest of you who are still interested, well…read on.

Disclaimer: I don't own KH or any ideas I may borrow from Konami games. Those belong to Square-Enix and Konami respectively.

Chapter One

"From the King?" Sora asked in confusion and urgency, taking the bottle from Kairi's hand and popping the cork off. He shook the bottle upside-down over his palm and the piece of paper with the King's seal fell into his hand. As he unrolled it, Riku and Kairi read over his shoulder.

Sora, Riku, Kairi

By the time you read this, Donald and Goofy will already be en route to Destiny Islands. Radiant Garden is under attack from outsider forces. The attackers haven't been identified, but I have some of my best intelligence scouts on the job. Hurry!

The only signature was the King's symbol printed on the bottom. Sora glanced at his two best friends, his sapphire eyes filled with worry.

"'Attack'? Does that mean the Nobodies and Heartless are still at large?" he asked. Riku shook his head as he reread the letter.

"No, I don't think so. Look. The King said that they're under attack from 'outside forces'. He also said that they 'haven't been identified'. That means this is a new enemy. One we haven't encountered yet." the silver haired boy replied, pointing to the said lines of the letter.

"So it's time for another adventure for you two?" Kairi asked, somewhat disappointed. Sora caught the sad tone in her voice and grinned.

"Nope. This time we're all going together!" he said. Kairi's eyes lit up.

"You promise?" she asked hopefully. Sora nodded.

"Yeah! This time nothing'll tear us apart!" he said, slinging his arms around Riku and Kairi's shoulders. Riku smirked and Kairi giggled at their friend's actions, but then all three glanced to the sky at the sound of a rocket engine.

"The gummi ship!" Sora called out. The side door of the colorful spaceship opened up and two very familiar faces popped out.

"Sora!" Donald and Goofy shouted from the aircraft. Sora grinned.

"Donald! Goofy!" he yelled up, waving to them. Riku's brow furrowed.

"Wait. If you two are there, who's piloting the ship?" he called up to them. Donald and Goofy froze before glancing at each other nervously.

"Uh-oh…" the muttered to each other, before the gummi ship crashed into the shallow part of the ocean.

"Guys!" Sora shouted, before jumping off of the play island and into the water. The gummi ship was unharmed, but that didn't change the fact that it had hit the ground hard. The duck and dog slowly pulled themselves out of the ship, groaning slightly. However, at the sight of Sora wading through the water towards them, they stood upright and ran forward to meet him. The two animals jumped up and tackled Sora into the water, laughing as they did. Sora joined in with their laughter, glad to see his old friends again.

"Guys! I missed you!" Sora said.

"Gawrsh, so did we, Sora!" Goofy chuckled.

"Hey!" Riku called to them. The trio looked to see the two islanders standing on the shore of the beach.

"I hate to interrupt your little reunion, but didn't the King's letter say to hurry?" Riku asked, slightly impatient.

"Oh, yeah…his letter did sound really urgent." Donald said. Sora glanced at him in confusion.

"'Letter'? You mean the King didn't tell you about the quest in person?" the spiky brunet asked.

"Nope. A few days ago, the King up an' left for no reason. He left Pluto a letter to give us, though. It said that we needed to come here an' get you three to take ya to Radiant Garden!" Goofy replied.

"So you guys don't know what's going on either?" Sora asked. Both Donald and Goofy shook their heads.

"Ah, well. Let's go! Radiant Garden's in trouble!" Sora said determinedly. Riku and Kairi walked out into the shallow water towards the gummi ship before climbing inside. They were followed by Sora, Donald, and Goofy. Donald climbed into the pilot seat and buckled himself in.

"Buckle up 'cause here we go!" he called out. The other four climbed into their seats and buckled their seatbelts. Donald hit a couple of buttons on the gummi ship's panel and the ship rumbled to life. The rockets started and the spaceship slowly started to rise off of the world's surface.

"…Wait!" Kairi called out in sudden realization.

"What's wrong, Kairi?" Sora asked in concern.

"What about our parents?" she asked.

"You don't have to worry about that." Donald replied.

"Huh?" Kairi asked.

"The King not only sent at letter to you guys, but he sent one to your parents too. It should be in their mail right now." The duck reassured her.

"It said so in his letter. That way, we didn't have to wait to leave for Radiant Garden when we got here." Goofy added.

"Huh…so the situation in Radiant Garden must be serious…" Riku muttered.

"Entering hyper speed! Hold on tight!" Donald called out to the passengers. On cue, the ship jerked and flew forward into the sky, far away from Destiny Islands. Kairi glanced out of the ship's window and gasped.

"Wow…! Look at the view…!" she breathed in awe. Sora grinned.

"Like it?" he asked.

"It's amazing!" she said, watching as the stars whizzed past.

"It won't be long now, guys. Chip an' Dale installed new engines on the ship that'll get us to Radiant Garden, extra fast!" Goofy said.

"He's right! Only about 15 more minutes now!" Donald added.

--

"They're coming. It won't be long until they arrive now."

"Let them come. They won't stop us."

"Are you sure, boss?"

"Yes…there will be no one able to bring us down. Not even that annoying gnat of a brother. We will crush them all. Now…bring me Mantis. I need to speak to him."

"Yes, boss."

--

"Approaching the destination!" Donald alerted the other passengers of the gummi ship. Sora, Riku, and Kairi glanced out the window.

"Radiant Garden should be coming up right about…now-Wak!" Donald quacked in shock and surprise.

"What the-?!" Goofy asked in fear. Sora, Riku, and Kairi all gasped. Radiant Garden looked horrible. Multiple buildings on the surface were destroyed and fires raged in the streets.

"What's going on down there?!" Sora shouted.

"I don't know, but we've gotta get down there now! Preparing to-Ah!" Donald was interrupted by his own shout of pain. He held his head in pain as a headache came over him.

"Donald, what's-Ugh! Wh-what…?" Sora asked in pain as his eyes started to water from the immense headache that had just hit him. Goofy, Riku, and Kairi suffered similar headaches as well.

So you are the team sent to help…

"…H-huh…?" Riku asked no one in particular through gritted teeth as the ghostly voice echoed throughout the ship.

Pathetic… You're nothing but a group of children… The boss was right… You are no threat to us…

"…Who is that…?" Sora asked.

Relax… And now… Blackout!

The voice uttered this final command and the ship panel went on the fritz. Lights blinked and the control panel flashed, until everything went dark and the gummi ship's passengers all passed out.

AN: There's your first chapter. Now, this story is only going to be a little side-project of mine that I'll update when I'm bored. Updates will follow no set schedule, so don't bug me to hurry up and write the next chapter. I'll write it when I want to. Given I've already written the next two chapters, but after that…who knows when I'll update next. Anyway, that said, let me just say that I am never going to abandon this story. Through Hell or high water, this story will remain on this site. I don't care if you flame, this story is staying. Anyway…R&R!!!
