Okay this is A Kingdom Hearts fan fiction mixed in with my own story when Sora finds out not all Heartless have to steal hearts to live. In this new world they just don't feel emotions. Sorry if this is a little OOC but I'm giving it a shot. If you don't like it feel free to not continue. Also I heard that if you play the second one (if you mean in order of the ones made) or third (In order of when they happen) on expert then you see an alternate ending. Also in that one Kairi was given a key blade and Riku had one as well. The alternate ending shows that there are millions of key blades and wielders. Anyway on another point I might have spelt the names wrong. Sorry if I did. Review and tell me the correct spelling if you know it. Well here goes nothing!
Chapter One
A New Mission
Sora was standing with Donald and Goofy before the King, Mickey, who was pacing as he told them about their new mission, which also meant to them another new adventure with new worlds to explore and save from the Heartless they had been fighting for quite a while now, but they seemed never to stop appearing in the most unusual places at the perfect time and seemed to never disappear. "You say this is another world I have to go to and that I've never been to ever before? You also said that it is very different from all the others I have been to previously on my other adventures? What kind of world is this, anyway?" Sora asked, wanting to know more before he traveled into the unknown world so he knew at least what he was getting himself into before he got in too deep and couldn't get out.
"This world is not at all like any of the others you have visited previously in your last few journeys. It is extremely different from all of them, Sora. More different than I can sufficiently say in only a few simple words without confusing you too much," Mickey explained as he continued to pace. "I've never heard of it before or seen anything like it in my entire life and I know most of the worlds around here. It's called the Seven Plains because it is made up of seven different parts, which are called the Plains, hence it's name, but there are more than seven now. This world is ruled by four girls who call themselves the Trinity. The girls are extremely powerful and beautiful, but they don't have Key Blades, but a blade laced with a power I didn't recognize at all and I still don't know what it is to this day. I searched everywhere to find out what it was, but nothing came up in all my research. I even went as far as to ask Yen Sid what kind of power it was, but he doesn't know what it is either and was curious about it and also took off to find out what it was from the girls himself, but changed his mind when I mentioned a few of their guardians. The girls are all of incredible strength and very beautiful in every way, even the darkest one of the four is quite beautiful, though the others know that she hates being told this under any circumstances. Unless it is her lover Sam, then she is quite flattered by it, or her sisters, who tells her that all the time. Then she just shrugs it off like it is nothing but a kind word from her dear friends and sisters. They seem almost perfect in every way, but don't like being called perfect because they know they are not as perfect as they may seem to be by so many others."
"And they may have some kind of Heartless there that we have to get rid of also?" Goofy asked. "The Heartless seem to be everywhere when we've fought them on the worlds we have been to before. Every world we went to had some kind of Heartless even if it was a new kind that we didn't know of before we went there."
"I believe they do have some Heartless there, since all the worlds here had them, but I don't know if they have seen any of their Heartless yet because it seemed like they weren't worried about Heartless when I met them but they were fighting something just as dangerous. I believe that the Heartless went through all the worlds here and continued onward to other worlds like theirs without our knowledge. They must be in that world as well as others, but hiding away where no one can see them for now, but they will appear when they think they are ready and strong," Mickey added. "I'd like you, Goofy, and you, Donald, to stay here. So Sora, they won't be going with you this time on your journey, or as you say, your new adventure. I need them here this time, but you, Sora, must go though as the wielder of the Key Blade. You can destroy the Heartless easier there than your two companions here can. You were chosen to wield the Key Blade by the Key Blade itself and it was because of your strong, good heart. Such hearts are rare in all the worlds and it is a gift beyond measure to know you have one."
Sora sighed heavily and said dramatically: "Such is the life of the wielder of the Key Blade, destined to always be moving on alone to fight alone in many battles until his life ends or the Key Blade chooses another more worthy of it than him. I just barely got back to the island with Riku and Kairi and we were happy having fun there thinking none of us would be leaving ever again for quite some time. We were having tons of fun when I got the message from you to come here and see you. Besides, I've never fought without Donald and Goofy by my side since the Nobodies made me, and I didn't like that much either. I like fighting with them. Besides, they are like my best friends besides Riku and Kairi because they never left me alone even in the hardest of all battles that we had fought in. We all fought together."
Mickey smiled. "I understand and know how you feel about your two friends Sora, though you are a lot closer to Kairi and Riku because you grew up with them and not Donald and Goofy. I know that fighting alone is very hard also. I have fought in many battles and have fought alone several times and I agree that it is better to fight with some friends by your side in case you need their help in a battle. Anyway, when I asked them to stay here, I didn't say you should go on to this world alone and fight the Heartless in this world alone either. Riku and Kairi can go with you, Sora. Kairi has received a Key Blade because she has a stronger heart now than most people do even as Princess of Heart, she has one stronger than the rest of the Princesses do. Riku pulled himself out of the darkness and gained a purer and stronger heart and I know he has also received a Key Blade as well. If I'm not much mistaken, Leon and others from Radiant Gardens might also receive one or more among them. It's been known to happen many times in the past. Many Key Blades choose wielders from my experience, from what the heart has learned over time in battles. It must learn how to be strong and when it has become stronger over time, then a Key Blade will choose that person from their experiences."
"Girls can get Key Blades as well?" Donald said. "I thought it was only boys who could wield Key Blades. Thinking of girls wielding Key Blades seems strange, since I've only seen you and Sora with one. I thought only boys and the Princesses of Heart could get Key Blades."
"So Yuffie and Aerith might get one as well?" Sora started to get excited knowing what the king was going to say before he did.
"The ones that have received Key Blades must go with you to this new world, Sora, so you really don't have to fight the Heartless in this world alone after all." Sora was right, the king had said that his friends were his companions this time, which made him feel even better than ever before. "This world is so much more different than I know. It is. But that is only something I can expect when I didn't recognize it at all when I first landed on it. I want you to help them defeat the Heartless in their world and gather all information you can about this world. Just for friendly purposes, though tell them we are their allies and friends and don't want to fight them, but help them. Destroy all the Heartless you can while you are there, explain to them what Heartless is, and find out who is the one controlling it in their world if you can and stop them one way or another."
"Okay, but first I'll go and see who has a Key Blade and then we will head there right away so we can start to defeat the Heartless and free this world from that darkness." He turned and a man in a black cloak appeared before him. "Organization XIII! I thought you all were gone for good this time! I thought I'd seen the last of you in the World That Would Never Be that you tried to make your Kingdom Hearts!"
"Listen to me before you attack me, young Key Blade Master. I'm not from Organization XIII, as you know the Nobodies rulers by that name, Sora. I just came to tell you something about your new journey to this unknown world that you don't know anything about. I came to warn you about the difficulties you will face in this new world because it is not like any of the other worlds known to you." The man removed his hood so Sora could see his face, which he was sure he didn't recognize at all. He had peppered hair and turquoise eyes and he had several facial features that made him like a jackal in many ways to him. "You are going to go into another galaxy to reach this world through a gateway, or portal, if you will, that we didn't know existed, but it can't be closed now, since someone has passed through it. In this world you will find a different kind of Heartless and it is much stronger than the other Heartless you have ever faced before. Be wary of that, because it will be able to destroy you very swiftly if you allow it to. Also, you will experience things you never dreamed possible in this world because it is so different from the ones in this galaxy. It will teach you things you never knew possible. Don't let your heart turn jealous of what you see there, because that will only bring you down to a dark path which many in that world have taken and never returned as the same person as they were when they left."
Suddenly behind this man another figure in a black hooded cloak appeared, as if to prove what the man was saying was true, but this one didn't remove his hood, so Sora couldn't see his face. "Tolerance, if you keep telling him what to expect in the Seven Plains then it isn't going to stop him from going to that world, and you know how connected they are to other worlds, there are so many portals, and I hope they stop appearing. If they don't, then they will turn into another disaster like the Realms of Time did. It will destroy their world, because there are too many Portals. Like the people of the Realms of Time, which we tried to warn them to stop creating portals once they found out how to make them but they wouldn't stop making portals until it was too late. Their world was so ravaged everything was killed, and not even a bug or blade of grass can live there anymore because it was completely destroyed. It might happen to the Seven Plains too if Portals keep appearing there."
The man called Tolerance turned to the other man. "I'm not trying to stop him from going to the Seven Plains because of our Angel, Anubis. She told me that we should allow them to come and they will meet them. I questioned her for a minute until she realized I did not agree and she told me of her reasons. Do you trust our child's judgment or not, Anubis? As you know, her mind has grown in wisdom and strength since we gave her the Power at the day of her birth. She is stronger than even the Trinity, though she doesn't wish to take their places in their world. She only watches over them as if they were her own children and treats them as such."
"If the Child, the Angel, said that we should allow them to go there, then it will be done as she wishes, because her judgment is never clouded and it will never be clouded." The last man said, still without removing his hood. "I hope this will not anger the other Anubi though. They don't seem as fond of her as we are. Though she is very wise, they say she is still so childish and foolish, but usually she keeps her friends and families' spirits up when others can't, except for that crazy bird. She finds hope in her heart when there seems to be none left anywhere near them."
"The other Anubi just don't know her as well as we do, but she still is our beloved Child, our own creation, and they seem to think that it is a useless effort to try and involve ourselves in her life very much anymore now that she has grown up, but how can we ignore her when she knows about us, because she can feel us near her and can sense our presence even when she can't see us around her? She will think we all abandoned her if we all suddenly left her now and we just can't do that to her because it would only break her." Tolerance smiled as he thought about the young Child they had all watched over since they had created her and sent her to live among the people of the Seven Plains. "Why not watch over her now? Besides, she was ours in the first place, so we should be able to watch over her, as she is our creation. Even the Trinity watches over their creations and helps them when they need them to. She is still our Child, though some believe she is their Child, she will be our Child and only ours. We worked hard to finish the creation of the Child and we made her everything she is now and she is more than we dreamed possible. We created her and chose her. They also say that the girls aren't worth the effort we put into them either, but I believe they are, because she loves them and treats them like they are her own children and that is why we protect them as well. Not to mention if they die this time they wouldn't get another chance to keep their world together. This time it will be destroyed completely."
"I see that this boy is one of the many chosen ones of the Key Blade. He wields a Key Blade like so many before him have done and many more after him will do. Only those with good, strong hearts can wield a Key Blade." The last man then turned to Sora. "Sora, Master of a Key Blade, you may go to the Seven Plains, but beware of the Heartless Ones who live there, for they are different than those you have faced in the past. Don't trust those with red eyes, for they will try and turn you to their cause. They are allied with the Heartless Ones of this world."
Sora went straight back to Destiny Islands and in his heart there was a burning of excitement. His home world, where he was born and grew up, to see his two closest friends Riku and Kairi. The first thing he noticed when he landed on the island was Kairi was talking to Riku by the ocean, like she was scared of something that had happened this time, though everything seemed to be normal when Sora looked around. Curious, Sora ran toward where they stood together on the beach, wondering if they had seen Heartless or something, but then Riku appeared calm, so he calmed down as well.
"Hey, what's going on?" He said as he approached them.
"Sora, you're never going to believe this, but you know that Key Blade I got in the World That Would Never Be?" Kairi said.
"In the Nobodies' supposed Kingdom Hearts, of course I remember it. I found Riku and you there after searching for you for so long. Besides, I'll never forget how Riku looked like Ansem when I know I had killed the fake Ansem," he said. "That was really strange to see someone I thought I had destroyed. Also, I met the real Ansem and found out who I really had killed was nothing but a fake Ansem in the first place."
"Come with me. I have to show you something very important." They ran together to the secret cave they had discovered together. In it there was a door to another world, but it was closed and locked firmly in place now. Sora remembered that when that door opened the first time he lost Kairi and Riku, got the Key Blade, was thrown into another world, and the Islands were destroyed. To make matters more interesting, that was only his first adventure. He'd had two more since then.
"Kairi, what's wrong?" Sora asked after a small silence as they admired all the walls where they had drawn pictures and other things on the walls as friends.
"This." She stretched out her arm and in her hand appeared the same Key Blade Riku had given her on their last adventure in the World That Would Never Be, where they finally had been able to fight together to save the worlds from the Heartless and Nobodies.
"So, what's the problem then, Kairi? I still have my Key Blade as well," Riku said, doing the same and calling forth his. "It's only natural to keep them when our hearts are strong enough to wield them. We may keep them for the rest of our lives. There is nothing to worry about when you can call it forth."
"But this is the first time I've been able to summon my Key Blade back since we came back to the Islands," she said, still a little stressed. "It makes me feel strange to be able to call it forth after a long time of not being able to. I thought it was a one time thing, but now I'm not so sure anymore."
"Don't worry about it Kairi, those with Key Blades are going to another universe and another world unknown to the King," Sora said proudly. "So are you two in and coming with me to discover this new world?"
"Are we going to get separated again on this adventure?" Riku asked, unsure if he wanted to go through that whole entire big mess again.
"I hope not, but if we do get separated, I'll make sure I find you two before I go anywhere else, unless I find evidence telling me you are somewhere else," Sora promised.
"Okay, I'd feel better if we stuck together in the adventure this time," Riku agreed. "The last two were not fun when we had to find each other and usually I ended up fighting against you, Sora, and I still am angry at myself for it."
"Can't you just let it go, Riku? You weren't yourself at that time. Okay, here we go." They walked together to the Gummi Ship. "This is Misty. The king gave her to me as a gift, saying he could get a new one," Sora said. "I named her the first time I drove her."
"She's beautiful, Sora." Kairi was excited to ride in it and got on.
"Misty?" Riku repeated. "Isn't that what you wanted to name our raft?" he asked.
"Yeah, so what if you won the race? I named my Gummi Ship and the king painted the name on her right here." Sora pointed and sure enough, Misty was painted in nice loopy letters on the side of the ship.
