Chapter 1: Meeting Soul
As Riku, covered in the black coat stares at the sunset while standing on the edge on the top of the balcony of the clock tower. He remembers the time when he fell to the darkness. How lost and confused he was. How strong and powerful he was. As he begins to space out into his memories he hears a small squeaky voice from behind. "Gosh, this is the last place I thought you would be." Riku turns around and see the king, King Mickey. "You're majesty." Riku says as he turns around and steps down from the balcony. "I didn't mean to worry you." "Na I wasn't worried just curious about where you went, that's all." King Mickey turns around and looks at the sunset. "It's beautiful in this world as well isn't it?" Riku nods his head, "Me, Sora, and Kiarie would always watch the sun set back on Destiny Island." Riku turns all the way around looking at the sunset. "It was just as if not more beautiful there." Riku flashes back to that last moment of peace he had with Sora and Kiarie. He sees them watching the sunset while setting on a bent palm tree. The vision last for only just a minute, then Riku returns to reality. "How long till Namine piece back Sora's memory." "Not long hopefully." Responds the King. "If I had to guess a couple more months." Riku nods his head, thinking of his experience at Castle Oblivion. How he learned he can control the power of both light and dark. How Sora memories were scattered and are now desperately trying to put them back together. He thought of how he cause he friends so much pain, suffering. grief and turmoil. He begins to face the ground beneath him, sicken with himself. How could he turn on his best friends, the ones who were always beside him, always watching over him, how could he? He begins to ball his fist up in anger, sadden, and yet not a single tear fell from his ocean blue eyes. Was he really sorry, was he really regretting his decision to follow the
darkness? If so why aren't I crying? "Don't think like that." Riku lefts up his head in shock. "Don't go thinking you're not sorry from fallen into the darkness, hurting you're because you are." "Don't let some stupid tears affect your thoughts." Riku begins to ponder the Kings words, and then he looks the king in the eye. "Thank you" Riku says in a grateful voice. The king just looks at him and smiles. They leave the clock tower and begin to walk towards the castle where Sora, Donald, and Goofy were lying fast asleep. "What do you think Organization 13 is planning to do with Sora's memories?" "Not sure, maybe to slow us down to get there real agenda together." "What you think that could be?" "Why don't you ask, them since you have so many questions." They both laughed. Then as they begin to go through the crack in the hole in the wall separating the town from the woods. They see a boy with silver hair, a yellow jumpsuit, and a head band. The two run towards him. "Hey are you okay?" King Mickey asked. They picked the boy up and lean him against the brick wall. He looks like he is in his teenage years, with ride eyes and light skin. "Maka" He says in a very weak voice. "Hope that's not his name." Riku said sarcastically. "This is serious Riku." "He looks like he's been in pretty bad fight and whoever fought him beat him pretty badly." "Yeah let's take him to the hideout." Mickey looked at him with a concern face. "Mickey, he doesn't look like he can be part of the Organization. " "I know I'm not worried about that, I'm worried about what Diz would say." "Forget about that, he needs us and now." Mickey was hesitant as he looked at the boy. "Fine, left him up and you carry him to the hideout." Riku did what he was told and they carried him all the way to the secrete place. As they enter the hole to their secret place, they walked through a forest with very tall trees, as they continue to walk through the forest. Riku carried the injured boy through the forest, as they walked the boy continued to yell in a soft painful voice. "Maka! Maka!" "Whoever this Maka person is, they must be very worried about her, huh?" King Mickey said. "Yeah." Riku replied. As they continued walking they made
their way in front of a small castle. It was brown, with a dullish look to it. In front of the castle was a large metal gate. Mickey summons his Keyblade that appears out of a glow of light. His Keyblade is yellow, with a white square key handle. At the end of the Keyblade is a chain with a head of a mouse. Mickey points the Keyblade in front of the keyhole; a bright thin light is blasted into the keyhole. Once the in the keyhole the gate opens. The King and Riku walk in the castle carrying the boy.
After they walk in the castle Riku lays the boy on the hard sofa. "He should be comfortable enough." Riku said "Yeah, just about as comfortable as that hard couch." They both snicker. "How long do you think it will be until he wakes?" Riku asked Mickey. "Don't know, could take days… months even." Riku looks at the boy; he could feel something for the boy. Was it Payne, affection, what was it? "Who is this?" someone in a deep voice said. They both turned around startled. "Diz! Don't scare us like that." Mickey said. Diz came in walking in the room wrapped in his red zombie like clothing. "Forgive me your majesty, but I am curious on the company you allowed in are hideout." Diz turn and stared at the boy lying on the sofa. "He's not an Organization member, if that's what you're thinking." "And how do you know that for certain boy." He responded to Riku's words. They give each other a mean stare. "C'mon guy's this poor boy is injured." "We got to help him." There stare ended as Diz turned and looked at the young boy. "He is not from this world, nor any others I am a where of." Both the king and Mickey look in shock. "That can't be, I know there are multiple worlds, but you're saying he's from none of them." "He's from a world, just not one I am aware of that exist. " "That's crazy, then where is he from?" Mickey asked. "That, and what did he bring with him from his world?" Diz asked in a serious voice.
