(By the way, MASSIVE BIRTH BY SLEEP SPOILERS AHEAD, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK!)

A young man of about sixteen was walking through the gardens of Disney Castle. He wore an Organization XIII coat, but the coloration was much different from the rest. While it still had black as the underlying color there was also a multitude of decorative silver flames licking up along the length of the coat. He had on transparent silver crystal gloves and his coat bore no hood. His hair was light silver with streaks of tawny gold running through it. What was probably the most startling feature about him were his eyes, the irises were emerald green and the pupils were a bright yellow. On his left arm he bore a silver gauntlet that was covered in snow white chains that went up the entire length of his arm.

Despite his odd appearance, nobody questioned his presence in the castle. He crossed through the gardens and made his way to the Throne Room. Pausing at the impossibly huge door he knocked three times and a single voice replied, "Enter."

The stranger pushed open the smaller door that was hidden inside of the larger one. Upon entering he looked around in awe to see a massive room with a white tiled floor and an immensely long carpet that lead up to two white marble thrones. Sitting in them were King Mickey and Queen Minney.

The small mouse king looked at the cloaked visitor, "So you finally made it here?"

The stranger bowed deeply, "I apologize your Majesty, I was delayed by some creatures I've never seen before."

The King nodded, "I've been receiving reports of strange creatures attacking other worlds and they don't appear to be Heartless or Nobodies……. "

With a shake of his head the King cleared away the solemn look on his face, "It's good to see you again though, I expect you'll be on your way to Destiny Islands then?"

The stranger nodded, "If anyone can put things back to the way they were, it'll be him. He has to reconnect all of the chains and ties that have been broken."

The King looked over at Minney, "I'm afraid that I must remain here and defend the castle from any future attacks launched by these creatures, do they have a name?"

The stranger gazed up at the King with his unique eyes, "They are called The Unversed your Majesty,"

With a heavy sigh the King sat back in his throne, "I never thought I'd hear that name again... I can only hope that he'll be able to put things right again, I still have great faith in him……. The one with whom all hearts are linked….."

The stranger whispered a single word, "Sora…."

A brunette boy suddenly sits straight up and spreads his arms wide with a yawn, he had clearly been asleep not two seconds before. With watery eyes he gazed out at the setting sun as it hung over the ocean. It was good to be back home…… He turned around when he heard someone calling his name. Looking over his shoulder he saw a girl with red hair running over to him, "Sora!"

Sora grinned and jumped to his feet, "Kairi! What's up?"

The girl had to catch her breath for a moment, then she held up a glass bottle in her hands that contained a single rolled up letter. "I-it's from the King,"

Soras eyes took on a serious quality and he took the bottle from Kairi. He pulled out the letter and unrolled it. After his eyes finished scanning the single page he looked up at the sky.

Sora,

I know that you've just managed to return home to your family and friends, but there's still something that you must do. Something is beginning to tear down the walls that separate the worlds again and this time it isn't the Heartless. I must remain here at the castle to safeguard the Cornerstone of Light, but I'm sending a friend to accompany you on your journey. He'll be able to guide you and even teach you something invaluable that will end up deciding the fate of all the worlds. You have to reconnect all of the things that have been severed and restore the balance between light and darkness.

The King

Just as Sora turned to say something to Kairi a Corridor of Darkness appeared and the stranger from Disney Castle stepped out. He held up his hands as Sora summoned his Keyblade, "Don't worry Sora! The King sent me, I'm a friend."

Sora lowered his Keyblade, but only a little bit. "Who are you?"

The stranger locked eyes with Sora, "I'm Axiri and we don't have much time left. We need to get you, Riku and Kairi off of this world now!"

While Sora tried to process this information a massive hole opened up in the sky, small beings began to fall from the hole onto the island. Axiri cursed, "They're already here!"
