Chapter 1

The surroundings seemed to be like Agrabah, but it wasn't. It was a temporary dimensional recreation of the world. In a clear area stood two boys. In between them were to figures that resembled Sora. One of them was me. I was facing off against a challenger in my favorite game.

I held up a card in my hand and said, "Well, looks like it's all over. For you that is! I activate my sleight card, Reflecting Raid!" By doing that, I won the match. Suddenly, the world wasn't Agrabah, It was regular old earth. My opponent ran away screaming, "I will beat you, no matter what."

My name is Hikaro Tomika. And I have made the coolest Kingdom Hearts trading card game ever.

One day, cards like the ones from Castle Oblivion appeared everywhere. I had the idea to take the cards and make a new game out of them. Now, anyone who calls themselves Kingdom Hearts fans is playing it. But I always got a feeling that there was more to the cards then everyone thought.

One day, while I was getting ready to go look for new opponents, a strange heart shaped light came from the sky. It came down and settled into my Sora character card. I thought I was just imagining things, when out of the card appeared Sora himself. He looked kind of faint, like a spirit. It took me completely by surprise. Sora told me that he needed my help.

"So. What do you need my help with?" I asked after calming down a bit. Sora answered, "It's Organization XIII." I interrupted him and asked, "Wasn't the organization destroyed?" Sora continued his explanation. "The organization wasn't destroyed. The king found out that they were transported to your universe, and transformed into cards. He sent out other cards hoping that someone would use them to stop the organization. When he found out that they were only being used for a game, I asked to go into this universe to stop the organization's plans. He said, 'You won't be able to do it alone. I can only send you into a card. You'll need someone to help you to fight, through the use of the game.' He recommended that I go to the creator of the game, you."

I was shocked at what I was hearing. Although, it did explain how the cards got here in the first place and why Sora was standing in front of me.

"Well. Are you in?" Sora asked. I thought about it for a bit. 'I'm about to get mixed up in the affairs of another universe. I could be dangerous.' then I started to think, 'But if I don't help, it could be disastrous.'

I looked at Sora and said, "I'm in."
