The doors to the Old Mansion opened, and the gang looked carefully at first.
Then one by one, Sora, Donald, Goofy, Riku, Kairi, and King Mickey walked in ready for anything.
Sora was nervous, he looked around nearly ready to jump out his skin.
Riku is wearing a brave face, but was just as afraid as Sora was.
Somehow, those two were the only ones who were afraid, even Kairi wasn't sightly afraid.
The sound of strange music rang out through the building, which only made Sora start to shake.
"Are you ok Sora?" Kairi asked quickly.
The sound of the strange music had her slightly worry, but the sight of Sora shaking made her react.
"I-I'm fine Kairi," He replied, fighting to do his trademark smile and make Kairi happy.
While she was fooled, Riku was to close to Sora's heart to fall for this trick.
"Sora, don't worry I'm right here for you,"Riku whispered to Sora as he began reaching to hold his hand, but decided against it.
Upon walking, they discovered the source of the strange music: Demyx was sitting on the stairs, playing his sitar.
"Oh, hey there," Demyx said, placing the sitar down gently.
"Hi Demyx," Sora said cheerfully, the fear in him leaving almost rapidly.
Ansem appeared, and began to descend down the stairs.
"Right this way," Ansem said, leading the gang into the library.
"Wow," Sora said, amazed by the sheer number of the seemingly endless amount of books.
In his amazement, he picked up a random book, and began to read it.
"PUT THAT DOWN!" yelled a voice from the other room, scaring Sora enough to make him drop the book.
From behind a maze of bookshelf's, Zexion ran up, picking up the book.
"YOU IDIOT, YOU DROPPED THE LEXICON!" he screamed loud enough to break the windows.
"I-it was an accident," Sora replied, hoping Zexion would be forgiving.
He, however brought his hand up to hit Sora, only for Riku to grab it.
"He said it was an accident," Riku said, holding Zexion's arm.
Zexion look at him for a moment, sighed, and pulled his arm back from Riku forcefully.
"What's with the Organization members," The King said, looking worriedly at Zexion.
"I'll explain later, come along," Ansem said, leading them to his lab.
They quietly walked to the room Sora was sleeping in(Kingdom Hearts II).
Inside the room was a woman, her hair was blue, and she was very beautiful.
She stood next to the giant pod, she seemed happy to see the gang come in.
"Sora, Riku, Kairi, this is Aqua," Ansem said, causing Sora and the other two to shake her hand.
"No offense, by why am I here," Sora asked, trying not to sound worried.
King Mickey looked at him, "you're here to bring Ventus back," He said.
"How?," Sora said excitedly, happy to be able to help Ventus.
The King looked away, as if he became sad at what he was about to say.
"You have to stab yourself with the Keyblade," He said, this made Sora realize that it was sacrifice.
"Oh...i see," Sora replied, preparing himself for his fate.
"WAIT, YOU CAN'T DO THIS," Riku shouted, "IT'S NOT FAIR!"
"Boy, you of all people should know that life isn't fair," Ansem said.
Seconds after that, the pod opened, and Ventus was visible floating in the air.
"Riku," Sora said, "don't worry about me, I'll be back, promise."
He began walking to the pod, hiding his tears from the others.
"Take care of everyone ok?," He said to Ventus' body, and stabbed himself with his Keyblade.
All at once both of them began to glow, then Sora fell down and Ventus was standing there.
"Where am I?," Ventus said, only to be tacklehugged by Aqua.
"A-Aqua?, where are we?"
"Don't worry about that, I'm here with you now," Aqua replied, tears steaming down her face.
Ventus wiped her tears, then looked at Sora's lifeless body.
"S-Sora," He called out, and with that Sora's body turned into a shadow again.
"SORA!," Kairi called out running to him and hugging him in an attempt to bring him back.
Sora quickly turned back to normal, but a dark aura appeared around him and knocked Kairi back.
After about a minute of Sora's pained screams, the aura disappeared leaving Sora standing there covering his face with his hands.
"Sora!," Riku called, running at him as fast as he can, tears running furiously from his eyes.
He grabbed Sora, and embraced him.
"Get away from me," Sora said, leaving Riku stunned.
"S-Sora?," Riku said, still crying.
"I sAiD GeT aWaY fRoM mE!," Sora screamed, as his skin and clothes turned jet black, and his eyes becoming that of a heartless'.
"Anti form?," Ansem said, pulling out a weapon.
Sora quickly knocked Riku back, and left through the vents.
"After him!," Ansem yelled before running out, causing the others to chase after him.
Outside of the Mansion, Sora was on his way out the gates, only to be tackled by a figure in a hooded robe.
"Sora, I can't let you go," The figure said, blocking the gate from Sora, as Axel walked up from behind.
The figure grabbed his hood and pulled it back revealing himself to everyone.
"Y-you?," Axel said, shocked at the person standing in front of him, "it's...Roxas."
Before Roxas could say anything, Sora jumped at him with murderous intent.
Roxas quickly sprang into attack, summoning the Oathkeeper and Oblivion and blocking Sora's claws and knocking him back.
"Sora, please fight it," Roxas said in a attempt to make Sora gain control of himself.
Sora, unfortunately wasn't listening to Roxas, and jumped at him again.
"I guess I have no choice," Roxas said to himself before batting Sora to the ground.
Sora tried to get up to fight again, but Roxas knocked him back down.
Eventually, Sora was on the ground at Roxas' mercy.
"Sora, I'll save you," Roxas said and struck Sora on last time, knocking him back to normal.
"Thank you Roxas," Sora said before fainting.
The gang came out in time to see this last scene play out, and ran to Sora.
"Get him to my lab," Ansem ordered, making Goofy and Riku carry Sora to his lab.
The rest of the gang followed them, leaving Axel and Roxas alone.
"Axel, I'm sorry about before, I should have never left you behind," Roxas began.
Axel, however pulled Roxas into the Mansion, closed the doors, and embraced him.
"Welcome back Roxas."
