A/N: This is my first story, so your opinion on it would be greatly appreciated.
Deep Darkness
Chapter 1: The Beginning
Darkness. That's all he could see. No matter where he looked, be it up, down, left, right, in front or behind. All there was was darkness. All he could feel was the cold of the steel cuffs around his wrist and ankles. He couldn't even see what he was chained to.
The darkness had robbed him of all sense of time. He didn't even know how old he was. All he could remember was his name. Aaelnayr. The last of the Brood. Not that the powers of the Brood were useful right now anyway. He hasn't been able to use them since he was captured.
"Hello Broodling," a cold voice whispered from behind him, interrupting his thoughts.
"What do you want now Shadow?" Aaelnayr demanded.
"Oh, nothing," he said, sending shivers down Aaelnayr's spine, "just wanted to show you something."
"I don't need to see any more worlds being destroyed," Aaelnayr spat back, "I've seen to much sorrow, to much pain."
"But this is special, it's the current Keybearer and how he saved the worlds again," The Shadow said, with a hint of anger in his voice.
Without waiting for a response from Aael, a screen flashed in front of both of them, blinding Aael temporarily. When his eyes focused, he saw two teenage boys fighting against a full grown man. The man was firing lasers at the two boys, so many that it look like they would be overwhelmed. Then Aael noticed that the boys were spinning their weapons around so fast it looked like they didn't have weapons with them. They must have deflected all of the lasers, because when they stopped, they went after the man and attacked him together. The brown haired boy took the silver haired boy's weapon and charged at the man, slashing him with both weapons. The man then faded away into the darkness.
After that the video stopped.
"He is too strong, so I'm going to ask you to eliminate him," The Shadows said with a hint of finality in his voice.
"No. I will not destroy the only hope that the worlds have!"
"I'll give you some time to think about it." and with that statement, the Shadow disappeared.
Aael just thought to himself, I have to get out of here, and fast.

It has been three days since he and Riku defeated Xemnas and returned to the Destiny Islands, and Sora couldn't be happier. He was actually going to meet Riku right now. He spotted the sunlight reflecting off of a silver haired male at their favorite hangout spot. He jogged across the bridge when he got to the tree Riku was sitting on, he hopped over it, leaned back against it and put his hands behind his head.
"Nothing's changed, huh," Riku said
"Nope. Nothing will," Sora replied
"What a small world."
"But part of one that's much bigger."
"Yeah."
Sora then looked at Riku and asked, "Hey Riku, what do you think it was, the door to the light?"
Riku then jumped off the tree, and pointed to Sora's heart, simply saying, "This."
"This?" Sora asked, confused.
"Yeah. It's always closer than you think."
Sora then just smiled.
"Sora! Riku!" yelled a familiar voice.
Both Sora and Riku looked to see their friend Kairi running up to them, with something in her hand.
"What's up?" Sora asked
"Look," Kairi said, showing Sora the bottle in her hand.
"From the King?" said Sora, grabbing the bottle and uncorked it, then let the letter fall into his hand.
Both Kairi and Riku read the letter over Sora's shoulder.
Dear Sora, Riku and Kairi,
I'm very sorry to disturb you fellas so soon after you defeated Xemnas and Organization XIII, but there is someone here at the castle that needs to see you. I am sending Donald and Goofy to pick you up in the Gummi ship. They should be there in three days time.
See ya soon,
King Mickey
"Oh man, I was hoping to get longer than six days of relaxation time. But I'm actually kind of excited to go to the castle again," Sora said after he finished reading the letter.
"Sora, you lazy bum, all you would have done was sleep any way," Kairi stated.
"Well I've barely had time to sleep over the past to years," Sora retorted.
"Actually as I recall, a certain someone was asleep for one of those years," Riku said.
Sora had nothing to say back to this, so he just crossed his arms and pouted, seeing that he lost the argument.
"So what do you guys want to do for the next three days?" Kairi asked.
"Well we could relax," said Riku, "but since you'll be coming with us this time, you should probably train so you can get better with your Keyblade, and Sora can teach you magic."
"Ya that sounds good!" Kairi exclaimed.
"Ya, I guess," Sora said hesitantly.
"Great, now we just gotta go tell our parents," Kairi said before starting to run to her boat. "Come on!" she yelled back to the two friends.
"Sora, I know you aren't too excited about Kairi coming along this time, but you did promise her that you wouldn't leave without her," Riku stated.
"Ya I know. But that still doesn't change the fact that I don't want her to get hurt."
"Well then make sure you teach her how to do magic well."
"Ya I will. Man I am not excited to tell my mom I have to leave again."
Riku just chuckled to himself while starting to walk towards the boats.
"Hey, whats so funny!?" Sora asked while chasing after Riku. "I'm talking to you. Get back here!"
