"Slurp, slurp!"
Sora felt something warm and wet caress his face. He tilted his head to the side "...Riku" he thought with a giggle.
"WOAH!" He exclaimed, jumping up., "Where am I?" A yellow dog was sitting excitedly in front of him. "Hey boy..." Sora pet the dog. "Where am I?" he asked no one.
The last thing he remembered was reaching for something. He knew he wanted, no; needed to get to it. What was it?
He began to take in his surroundings. It was a dark Alley way. The dog took off and Sora stood up to follow, but the dog was too fast.
"Hey!" Sora yelled after him. He didn't want to lose his first friend he'd met in this new world.
"Eh," he thought shrugging it off as not that big a deal.
Sora walked out of the alley way and found himself in a large court yard. There were a few people here and there, and a small creature that looked like it should be in a toy store. He looked around trying to find a familiar face.
"Tidus!" He yelled, over come with joy, "Tidus! It's me Sora!" He said running at the boy. He reached Tidus and laughed "Hey what are you doing here?"
The boy turned around., "uh...do I know you?" He asked looking down at Sora.
Sora's face fell.
"No, I thought you were someone else...sorry," He replied dejectedly and began to walk off.
"He wait a minute, you must be from another world."
Sora whipped around, "that's right! What is this place??" He asked
"This is Traverse Town, it's were people with no where to go come..." The boy sighed.
"What's the matter?" Sora asked.
"My world was destroyed...I'm all that's left..." He began to cry.
Sora was taken aback. "Destroyed?" He thought. Sora took notice of the tears falling faster and faster from the boy in front of him. "there, there, it's gonna be okay," Sora said embracing him.
The boy practically fell into Sora's arms. "Do you have a place we could go? I think you need some rest," Sora said kindly. "No, I just got here a few days ago. All I know about the place is it's name."
Sora looked around and saw a small area that had some tables, and led the boy to them.
They sat down side by side. The boy leaned his head on Sora's shoulder, "You're the first person to show kindness to me...thank you."
Sora laughed "No problem."
After he had said goodbye to his new friend, he found himself wondering around Traverse Town. The buildings seemed so high, it was much more than he had been used to in his small town with his friends. He walked through a pair of huge doors and saw lights that seemed to stretch for miles. He took a few steps forward looking up at the tall buildings then he heard a noise.
He looked down and a man stumbled and fell. He looked terrified! Sora was about to run to assist the man and then something came at the man! It was too fast! The next thing he knew the man turned into one of those things he had seen on his island!
Sora gasped as they both disappeared.
He continued on his way, looking over his shoulder every know and then. Explored all the unlocked doors he could find. He was never really taught proper boundaries when we lived in his small community.
He passed through another door and found himself looking down into a tiled clearing. It had walls on all side, that didn't really seam to serve any purpose. He walked down one of the ramps and looked around. There was a fountain in one of the corners, a sparking electrical cylinder, and a huge set of doors. He couldn't open them so he turned to leave.
Something in front of him appeared, it look like a black cloud that emanated some kind of purple light. It was beautiful. He stood still watching it in awe. Something seemed to be emerging from it! Sora had a funny feeling...
There was some movement and the next thing he knew it was another one of those things that had killed that guy! It lunged at him, and he threw himself out of the way. He landed with a thud and on his back. "What the...?!"
He got to his feet and pulled the Keyblade out of where ever it had been. He took an offensive stance and waited for the things next move. Suddenly more clouds of darkness began to appear. Sora Panicked and lunged at the already materialized creature, thrusting his weapon through it's head. It exploded into strange orbs. "I remember these!" he thought as the effect began to ripple through his body. A small burst of euphoria and he felt he could take them all on.
Sora turned to his enemies with a devious smirk and ran through the crowd of dark beings slicing, and stabbing as he passed. He soon found himself on the other side of the clearing and most of the pursuers were disposed of. The others looked at each other and dissipated, fleeing for their existence. Sora looked around, and then took off to the First District.
When he got there, he ran into the accessory shop. He closed the door behind him with a sigh. A many was the counter. He had blond hair and a bit of stubble. Sora thought he looked pretty rugged, and blushed. He regained composure and approached the man.
"Hello old man." He said cheerfully.
"My name is not old man, it's Cid." He said with a growl. "Can I help you with anything?"
Sora and the Cid chatted for a while and they began to grow on each other. After about an hour of talking about things like, their previous homes, the people they had known, their experiences and what not, Sora found himself sitting on one of Cid's display cases while looking at an accessory Cid had pulled out for him to look at. Cid explained what it was as Sora admired it. "It's called the Protectra Chain, it creates a small field that cushions any blow the wearer may receive."
"Wow," Sora exclaimed as he help it to the light. The silver glinted in the light. Cid watched Sora's face as the light from the fireplace gently glowed on Sora's radiant skin. Sore glanced at Cid "What's wrong, old man?" Sora laughed, "you look like you're miles away."
"I was just wondering how long you were gonna gawk at the chain before buying one," he quipped back. Cid took the chain back and put it in the display case.
Sora stuck his tongue out at Cid. Cid rolled his eyes and noticed something, "What's that?" Cid asked pointing to Sora's chest. "Wha...!" as Sora looked down, Cid whacked Sora in the face with his finger. "Ahh!" Sora yelped as he loosed his balance and fell of the case. Cid laughed a big bely laugh as Sora rubbed his head. Sora pouted and crossed his arms which made Cid laugh even harder. "What was that for?!" Sora shouted. "Hahaha I couldn't help it" Cid said laughed as he wiped a tear from his eye. "You owe me you big jerk!" Said said getting up. "Ha! What did you have in mind, pip squeak?" "One of those Protectra Chains, and we can call it even." Sora said with a smirk.
"You're funny kid. I'll give it to you half off."
Sora looked down at the hand full of gold lumps and counted. "I got 10 munny...how much does that cost??"
"...250..." Cid said rolling his eyes. Sora frowned and put his money away. An idea flashed in his mind, and he went on the offensive. Sora narrowed his eyes, and leaned forward on the counter, looking deep into Cid's eyes. Cid felt a bit uncomfortable and stepped back. Sora smirked with a devilish glint in his eye. "Do you accept any other means of payment?" he asked huskily.
Cid's mouth dropped to the ground as his eyes bugged out. "Well?" Sora said smoothly. Cid wiped the blood from his nose as his face turned a deep red.
Sora closed the door of the Accessory shop with his new Protectra Chain gleaming in the moonlight. He straightened his clothes out and tried to fix his hair. He rubbed his sore ass as he turned around. Something was wrong: it was quiet, no one was in the Traverse Town court Yard. He looked around feeling a bit apprehensive.
"They'll keep on following you," a deep voice from the side! Sora jumped back, arming himself, "as long as you wield The Key," said a tall man with long brown hair, and a large scar on his face.
"Now..." He said with an out stretched arm as began to walk towards Sora, "let's have a look at that Keyblade."
Sora glared. "In your dreams!" he yelled bringing his Keyblade about.
"Very well," said the man in leather, pulling out his large sword.
Sora's mouth dropped. It was huge! The an rested it on his shoulder and leisurely walked towards Sora. Sora ran at him and swung, but his move was blocked and a split second later he felt something hit him in the stomach, sending him flying. He tried to stand, but fell on his face, losing consciousness.
Sora opened his eyes, and immediately closed them again at the intense light. It was so bright! He blinked his eyes many times to try to compensate. The next thing he knew he was looking up at Kairi's smiling face!
"Kairi! I was looking for you..." Sora began.
"Kairi?" She said, "I think you went a little bit too far Squall." She said looking up. "it's Leon, now." his annoyed response. She looked down at Sora again and identified herself as 'The Great Ninja Yuffie.'
Sora's eye's adjusted to the light and he found a small woman with short black hair and a head band peering down at him. He sat up and sighed "Kairi..." Sora looked across the room and saw the man that had attacked him. He had his arms crossed and was leaning against a wall with his eyes closed.
"What a bad ass" Sora thought with an inward eye roll. Then his senses came back and a look of fear crossed his face. "Don't worry he won't hurt you. We just had to get you inside to hide you from the heartless." Yuffie said calming him down.
"Heartless?" Sora asked, perplexed.
"Those without hearts..." Leon said.
Yuffie and Leon explained about the Heartless, and their mission, and everything they were aspiring to do. A good thirty minutes later, they were done. The next thing they knew was The heartless had found them and were converging on their position.
"Sora, lets go!" Said Leon, kicking down the door and drawing his weapon. Sora and Leon jumped onto the balcony of the room and then jumped down into the alley way where more Heartless were waiting for them. "Just cut through the ones in you way!" Leon said, slicing a few and running. Sora followed suit and ran after Leon.
They sound themselves in the middle of the Third District and just as they were running they heard an explosion up high, Sora stopped and looked. The next thing he knew was he was under two creatures! He was a bit in a daze, but he quickly recovered.
They all got up and they were about to introduce themselves when a large Heartless appeared. They looked at each other and nodded at each other. The Dog with the shield and Sora lunged at the massive monster. The duck raised his wand and a bolt of lighting struck the creature. Sora stabbed the creature in it's armored foot. The dog tackled the body with his small shield. Sora ripped the Keyblade out from the foot, causing it to burst into the green orbs, and swung at the other, trying to incapacitate the Heartless by removing it's means of transportation. It fell forward and laid there for a second. Just as Sora thought it was over, it rumbled and flew up! It was hovering in the air! Without thinking, Sora jumped up on the boss and thrust the Keyblade into it's neck area. They both stood there for a second in shock, and then the Heartless exploded, throwing Sora back.
Sora, the dog, and the duck, stood there panting waiting for more. When nothing came, they introduced themselves.
