The Story After the Story

A Few Notes About Things:

1.) Despite the title, this is not related to my other masterpiece, "The Story Before the Story" so you do not have to have read that one to read this.

2.) This story will contain some questionable romantic situations, including (but not limited to) homosexuality, love triangles, big age differences, and objectum sexuality.

3.) I am not familiar with Birth By Sleep, so my characterizations of Aqua, Terra, and Ven may turn out very badly. Ye be warned.

4.) If you happen to have had the fortune (or misfortune) of reading "The Story Before the Story", you know that my mind works in mysterious ways, and so you are warned. (A note on "TSBTS": that story was not at all meant to serious, in case if you didn't notice judging by one of Ienzo's middle names being "Chimichonga", a man being mauled by a killer walrus, and talk of dancing bumblebees and other weird crap. The crazy author's notes were also not serious.)

5.) This is not realistic. This would not happen. That is why it is fan fiction.

NOW, ON TO THE STORY!

Where We Last Left Off: (the following is a summary of that Birth By Sleep Ending Video that most people have probably seen, if not, well, here is the summary.)

Previously, on Kingdom Hearts:::

Ansem the Wise/The Good Ansem/DiZ is seen chillin out in the dark world. He is wearing the cloak of the Nobodies, but he is recognizable by his crazy fire eyes and blonde goatee. Suddenly, a woman wearing boots that resemble rooster claws approaches- it is Aqua. They greet each other. Aqua asks Ansem how he got to the world of darkness. He says that he has been to the dark world three times now, and that he doesn't remember how. Aqua tells him that she "fell into this world" and that she has been wandering around for a long time. This leads one to the conclusion that the world consists of more than that one beach. Ansem asks her if she wants to return to her original world. She nods. Of course she wants to return to her original world, who wouldn't? Unless your original world was somehow crappier than the land of darkness. Anyway, Aqua specifies that she wishes to fulfill a promise to a friend. The word "friend" reminds Ansem of a boy he once knew (obviously Sora). Ansem starts telling Aqua about Sora and how he also had a key blade. Aqua changes the subject by asking what is happening to the worlds. Ansem says the worlds are being swallowed by darkness, which does not sound pleasant, then he mentions Sora and his key blade again. Apparently Aqua has just realized he has been talking about a boy with a key blade and asks if it one of her friends. He is not. She is disappointed. Ansem continues talking about Sora, mentioning that he "did terrible things to that boy and his friends"- let's not think too deeply on that. He then mentions making clothes for some people. This turns out to be a translation error, which is a good thing because otherwise we are left with the idea of the Nobodies running around in the nude before Ansem was able to make them descent. Ansem talks about some philosophical stuff for a minute, then mentions that he hid his research inside of Sora while he sleeping… Then he says that Sora may be able to save all the "crippled beings". Ansem tells Aqua everything is born from sleep, just like a baby polar bear (I would assume). Aqua asks who this mystery awesome boy is, and then the screen cuts away to a sequence of Namine, Axel, Roxas, and Xion, and Ven and Terra all saying Sora's name, in a creepy, chanting kind of way. The scene cuts back, and Aqua starts crying. She chants Sora's name as well. One assumes these are all the "crippled beings" who need to be saved.

Then the scene cuts to Destiny Islands with Sora chillin on a palm tree. He is holding the letter from King Mickey seen at the very end of Kingdom Hearts 2. He looks very serious and intense for Sora. Riku calls his name, walking up from some house/building thing in the background. Riku asks Sora if he has decided, which he has. Then Kairi walks up and also calls Sora's name. Everyone must say Sora's name at least once in this sequence (except for Ansem, because he was being ambiguous). It should also be noted that Japanese Kairi sounds like she is on helium. Meanwhile, Sora tells her that there are "sad people" waiting for him to save them, and he must "put back" everything connected to him. This translates to, "I'm gonna have to go on another adventure, sorry." Riku smiles. Kairi's response is to give Sora the good-luck-charm-thingy-madoodle and say "Hurry back."

AND THAT IS WHERE OUR STORY BEGINS!
