Kingdom Hearts: Guardians of Tomorrow
I Don't Own Kingdom Hearts
Prologue
It was a peaceful day in the world of Destiny Islands. A small world of endless ocean and sunny blue skies.
On the main Island, Riku casually walked along the beach; blue-green eyes gazed out at the endless ocean of crystal-clear water that stretched far into the horizon. The warm breeze gently eased up against his skin and gilded through his silver hair. The smell of salty sea air tingled his nose. The sound of the seagulls and waves overlapping the shores was soothing and welcoming. It was hard to believe how nothing has changed in the tiny world.
It has been a couple years since he, Sora and their friends defeated Xehanort and saved Kingdom Hearts, and now the worlds were finally at peace. The Guardians of Light went on to their own lives. Terra, Aqua, and Ventus were happily back home at the Land of Departure. Free from the Organization, Roxas, Xion, Lea, and Namine live in Twilight Town and can finally live normal lives, and King Mickey, Donald, and Goofy returned to Disney Town. Now back at home after so long, he, Sora, and Kairi lived a quiet and peaceful life. Though he was glad to have everything back to normal, Riku had to admit he missed having adventures with them.
Riku stopped in his tracks as his ears suddenly picked up a sound. He looks up to see a light zigzagging in all directions across the sky.
"Whhhhooooooaaaaa!" A faint familiar voice cried out.
Riku's eyes widened recognizing the voice that it belonged to. "Mickey?"
The light zigzagged a few more times before falling to the ground, revealing a mouse faced first on the sand, a star shard in his hand.
The King of Disney Town hopped up and brushed the sand off his clothes. "Gosh! Well, that was a doozy of a landing!" The mouse said.
"Mickey!" Riku said, thrilled to see his good friend.
Mickey Mouse looks up and spotted the silver-haired young man. "Hiya, Riku!" he greeted cheerfully as he walks up to him. "Golly It's been awhile!" Riku smiles and kneels to the mouse's height, shaking the king's hand. "It sure has," Riku agreed. "It's so good to see you after so long." Mickey nodded and chuckles.
Riku lets go of his hand. "So, what brings you here, Mickey?"
Mickey smiles. I've come here to speak with you and Sora. The King looks around noticing that the spiky-haired hero wasn't with him. "Speaking of Sora, where is he?"
Riku simply chuckles and stands up, having a very good feeling of where his slacker of a best friend might be. "I think I know…"
KHKHKHKH
Meanwhile, on the play island, a twenty-two-year-old Sora was lying on the white sandy beach, arms behind his head as he basked in the warmth of the morning sunlight. Eyes closed as listened to the ocean waves crashing against the shore. The young Keyblade Master breathes in the scent of the sea air and felt the soft breeze blew through his spikes of brown hair. He smiles and sighs in relaxation, never wanting this to end.
Suddenly a shadow fell over him, blocking the sun that was warming his face. With a confused frown, Sora opened his eyes, only to see Kairi's face inches from his with an amused smile.
"WHOA!" Sora cried out, jolting up into a sitting position and turns to face his girlfriend, who bursts out laughing. Sora rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"Jeez! Will you ever gimme a break, Kairi?" He asked the redhead.
Kairi straightens up and raised an eyebrow. "Well, will you ever stop being a lazy bum?" She asked as she offers her hand to her boyfriend. Sora grins impishly and takes her hand.
"Nope!" He said, standing up.
Kairi giggles and looks up into his sky-blue eyes. "Honestly, you'll never change, will you?"
Sora smiles, squeezing her hand affectionately. "Never ever."
Sora and Kairi have been dating for almost four years now. Now that worlds were safe, they were able to start a relationship.
"Sora, Kairi." A voice called. The young couple turned to see Riku walking towards them, beside him was a familiar mouse.
Sora grins at the sight of the king. "Your Majesty!" He exclaimed cheerfully.
"Howdy, Sora! Howdy Kairi!" Mickey greeted returning the smile. "It's good to see you both."
"What's up, Mickey?" Sora asked. "What brings you here?"
Mickey looks at the trio. "Master Yensid has sent me to come get you guys," he said. "Says he wishes to see you."
Sora, Riku, and Kairi glanced at each other.
"Well then, what are we all waiting for?" Kairi said, grinning. "Let's go."
KHKHKHKHThe four keyblade wielders arrived at Mysterious Tower. A small piece of land of the countryside, that consists of several hills floating amongst the clouds in the endless sunset with several stars gleaming in the background. In the center was a crooked Tower with crescent moons and stars on the top.
Sora, Riku, Kairi, and King Mickey walked to the front of the tower only to see that they were not alone. Standing near the door were Terra, Aqua, and Ventus.
"Hi, guys!" Kairi called to the trio.
The trio turned to them and smiled. "I had a feeling you three would show up." Terra said smirking.
Aqua greeted the three, giving each of them a welcoming embrace. "Sora, Riku, Kairi!" She said. "It's so good to see you."
Sora walked up to Ventus and gives him a fist bump. "Hey, Ven!" he said smiling. "How's it going?" Ventus grins back matching the brunettes. "I'm doing good." he chuckles.
Riku smiles. "You guys were brought here, too?"
Aqua nodded. "Uh-huh. We came as soon as Mickey sent us the message."
Suddenly a whistling sound fills the area. The group turns to see the magic train approaching. It stops with a screeching sound. The door opened, and four people stepped out revealing it to be Roxas, Lea, Xion, and Namine.
"Hello!" Lea said with a wave of his hand.
"You're here!" Ventus said with excitement.
The heroes of light all rejoiced as they greeted and embraced one another, happy to see each other after so long.
Sora's eyes lit up at the sight of the of the blonde."Roxas!" he cheered as he gave his nobody a bear hug, much to the young man's annoyance. "It so good to see you!"
"Hey, Sora…good to see you, too." He said, awkwardly returning the hug. "Now, please let go." Sora breaks the embrace and rubs the back of his head, laughing sheepishly. "Heh, Sorry about that."
"You two are so much like brothers." Aqua stated.
"He wishes!" Roxas said annoyed, but couldn't help the small smile that formed on his face.
"Well, I wish I was Sora's brother!" Ventus says eagerly.
"Heeeeeeyyyy now," Sora said wrapping his arms around both men's shoulders. "Everyone could be my brother!"
The heroes of light all laughed.
Namine smiles happily and clasped her hands together. "This is wonderful. It's been so long since we all been together like this."
"Way too, long." Terra agreed, smiling at her.
"So," Roxas started, looking at Mickey. "Any idea why Master Yensid has summoned us for?'
"Not really sure," The mouse admitted. "But he says it was important."
"We should probably go see what he wants." Sora said as he pushed the main door open and they all entered the tower.
KHKHKHKH
The Keyblade Masters walk into Yensid's study. The wise old sorcerer stands up from his chair and smiles. "You have arrived. I am glad to see Mickey has gathered you all here."
The group bows their head respectively to the formal Keyblade master.
"You wished to see us, Master?" Kairi asked the sorcerer. The man nodded and sits back in his chair.
"Indeed. I have called you all here today because of a new proposition. All of you are now true Keyblade Masters," He said. "and since you have all greatly proven worthy of the title, I think it is time you deserve to have apprentices of your own."
The Guardians of light all gasp in surprise. "Our own apprentices!?" Sora and Ven exclaimed in unison, their eyes widening with excitement. "No way! This is so awesome!" Sora cheered.
The others were all still too surprised to respond.
"To take on our own apprentices…" Riku trailed off, still surprised by the news, gathering his thoughts he says, "Do you think we are all truly ready for that commitment?"
Yensid nods his head. "I do indeed. "
The guardians all looked at each other in contemplation, some doubtful and some really eager. (Aka Sora and Ven)
Terra looks down troubled. "Are you sure, Master? What if some of us don't have what it takes."
"Hey!" Sora exclaims. "I for one think we would be excellent Keyblade Masters!"
Aqua nods in agreement with the spiky-haired young man. "I agree with Sora; we've grown over the years, and all had our own battles and have been successful, I think we are definitely worthy of taking on apprentices."
"Well, I could agree with that." States Xion, smiling.
Riku and Sora share a look between them and Riku shrugs his shoulders. Sora looks at Yensid. "Where do we begin?"

A/N: Welp, there you go! The Prologue of this story! :D This is my very first fanfic, so hopefully it wasn't so bad. The reason this took so long to write and publish was because I was at a friend's trying to work on it, but got sidetracked. I won't have a definite time to publish the first chapter because of Christmas and New Year's, but I will still keep working on it. I would like to thank Lauralkelley99, the Beata reader of this story, and xartsygeekx, a good friend of mine for helping me out. And I would also like to thank Riku Kingdom Hearts for encouraging me to write this story, and all those who submitted their own OC's. Most of the OC's will appear in the first chapter. And I wish you all a Happy Holidays and New Year! :D May Your Hearts Be Your Guiding Key!
