Chapter 1: A ghost from the past

The plain of flames

Xero and Larxene ran through the plains of fire. With each flame that died, too more came to take its place. It was at this time, that Xero decided to make some conversation.

"So, Larxene,"

"Mm?"

"How did this happen again?"

"Remember, Kuro left, Kumori took this time as an advantage, became emperor of the world, and we are now public enemy number two."

"Heh heh heh, number two…"

"Stay focused Hakumei, or I'm not gonna bang you tonight."

"I thought I was banging her?" Xero thought.

The skies above the forest of forgotten memories…

Kuro sat against the wall. The autopilot would take him to Aura's house. Man, it all ended so fast, Kuro just wished that, he could do it over again. It had gone by so fast, and, it's all over now… well, it's for the better. He remembered, oh yes he remembered, but was it really worth it?

Kuro looked out the window and saw the forest the same way he had left it. "A whole year…" Kuro said, then he stood up, he was not in his ordinary organization XIII uniform anymore. He was taller, and he had his hair spiked up. He was wearing a crimson shirt, it had flames on the sleeves. And he was wearing black jeans. It was time. The back door of the ship opened. Kuro stepped to the door. He then jumped out.

The winds were loud on Kuro's ears. Kuro almost forgot to spread his wings. But he didn't forget, and he spread his wings. He flew downward still. Then a blue aura, the same color as his wings, emerged from him and flew from him creating a tale like a comic.

The forest of forgotten memories…

Abinixia, Zexion, Iceralx, and Retsuchi walked through the forest. It was silent until Abinixia asked, "Why are Xero and Fatima in the plain of flames, again?"

"Xero needs to replenish his powers." Retsuchi said, then they saw a bright light emitting from the sky. They looked up and saw what appeared to be a comet shooting towards Aura's house.
"What was that?" Iceralx asked.

"I don't know," Retsuchi said, taking out her knives, "But I don't wanna take the time to find out, let's get to Aura's before something bad happens."

Master Aura's house…

Xion, Yuan, Aura, and Draxnew sat in the living room, they looked out into the torn world. Smoke emitted from all the major cities. And the sky seemed to be a dark red with all the blood the four knew about.

"Why are we waiting here?!" Draxnew yelled, "Kumori's out there and he's ruling this world! Don't we have the power to stop him?!"

"Now, Draxnew," Aura said, "You know as well as anyone that Kuro is the only way to defeat Kumori."

"But he's been gone for so long! He's not coming back! It's been almost a year!"

"More than…" Xion said quietly.

"What?" Yuan said, "I swear, I haven't heard that girl talk in almost a year, about the time-"

"Kuro left." Aura finished for him.

"Yeah!" Yuan said.

"I don't know about you guys, but I'm not just gonna stand around and wait for a gho-" Draxnew started, but he was interrupted by a light blue flash from outside, "What was that?"

"I… I don't know…" Aura said. Then they heard a knocking at the door. Aura walked over to the door and opened it.

"Alright," Came a familiar voice from outside the door, then Xion, Draxnew, and Yuan went to the door, and saw someone, he said, "What the hell did I miss?" The four saw Kuro, standing in the entry way.

HOLY SH**! Kuro's back! And he's the world's only hope! It's time for the purification to begin! Oh yeah, BTW, about that whole "Amaya" thing from the last story, well, I abandoned that, yeah, Bada-bing! We're back on a schedule! I got my computer back! So every Saturday! Oh yeah, and in ten days, it's the KIO one year aniversery!
