Chapter 1
Destiny Islands
Donald, Goofy, Mickey, and Riku stand over Sora, who is sitting on the ground with his hand covering his face. They are all on Destiny Islands the battle with the Nobodies have ended and Xemnas has been defeated. Though in the course of this great battle something very precious was lost and it can never be returned.
Earlier During The Battle at The World That Never Was
The battle was rough and exhausting they faced and destroyed hundreds maybe thousands of Nobodies and Heartless. Though near the end of the battle when everything seemed as though they the battle was turning in their favor things went all wrong. Sora, Riku, Kairi, Mickey, Donald, and Goofy were all fighting the hardest they could though so far in the battle Xemnas had not yet shown his face. Suddenly Xemnas appeared and attack suddenly sending dozens of laser-like beam on the weakest and the most vulnerable of the team. Xemnas attacked Kairi with all of his might. Riku saw this and tried to rush over to stop Xemnas' attack but he was not fast enough and Xemnas' attack hit the unknowing Kairi. The laser-like beam went through Kairi killing her almost instantly. Riku felt his eyes fill with tears of sadness as he witnessed one of his two best friends die before his eyes. Though Riku felt this intense sadness he knew that this event would effect someone else far more than it would him. "Sora." whispered Riku as he knew this would shatter Sora's heart and knowing this fact made Riku sad all the more. Riku knew that he could not keep this from Sora but for now he could for first Xemnas must be destroyed and Riku knew that telling Sora this now would cause him to break down and lose his will to fight thus Kairi's death would be in vain. Knowing this Riku said nothing and the battle continued, and in the end Xemnas' fell and everyone was sent back to Destiny Islands.
Destiny Islands
At first everyone jumped for joy and hugged each other all except from Riku who stood off to the side allowing them to taste joy for a moment for soon that feeling would disappear. After a few minutes Sora looked around before saying "Where is Kairi? She should be back on the Islands with us cause she was there with us." Riku felt tears once again fill his eyes but he forced them to retreat for he need to tell Sora as calmly as possible. Slowly Riku approach Sora then moved in front of him and said soft yet firmly "Sora...Kairi is here. During the battle Xemnas attack Kairi and she...was killed. I saw it all. Believe me Sora I tried my best to get to her in time I yelled out to hear as well but she could not hear me. There was nothing I could do...I am so sorry Sora." Riku had spoken loud enough so that everyone heard so that he would not have to repeat it again for he never wants to speak of those events again. Sora's eyes were now wide open and tears flowed down his face. Sora stood there crying for a few moments before falling to his knees in which at this time he bent down his face hovering only inches above the ground and cover his face with his hands. Sora continued to cry while at the same time he screamed in sadness. Riku just stood over Sora tear now running down his face as well and only a few seconds later Mickey, Donald, and Goofy walked over and stood around Sora. They all stood around Sora crying for both the death of Kairi and the horrible pain that they knew Sora must feel at this very moment. A couple of minutes passed before Riku got down on his knees and lifted Sora's upper body so that he was sitting up straight then Riku moved closer and placed his arms around the crying Sora. Riku began to whisper over and over into Sora's ear over and over after he had embraced Sora saying "Its okay...its okay. I promise that I will never leave you...even though Kairi is gone I promise I will never leave." The only thing that Riku could do now was promise Sora that he would never leave his side and be with him for the rest of eternity. For the rest of the day this continued until Sora finally passed out from exhaustion for both the battle and the crying. Once Sora had passed out Riku picked out Sora in his arms and headed towards his house after saying to Mickey, Donald, and Goofy "Sora is going to need us...so we must all be there for him." Mickey, Donald, and Goofy all nodded and followed not to far behind Riku.
