"Can I have your attention passengers…" a low male voice came over the intercom, "although we are running a little late, we should reach our destination on time…" with that, two flight attendants wandered the aircraft, making sure everyone was belted to their seat for the flight.
A teenage girl with blonde with black streaks in her hair, ice blue eyes sat looking out the window, her white jacket was covered in pockets, and she wore a pair of black jeans, "miss can you buckle your seat?" one of the female attendants asked, snapping her out of her trance, she nodded and complied with the stewardess's request. "We have found our missing passenger and we are ready to take off…" the male voice came again, "attendants please take your places…" The girl rolled her eyes, "it will be probably another ten minutes before we are airborne…" Soon after the airplane made its ascent into the air, and began to fly to its destination.
Hearing a familiar jingle, the girl rummaged frantically through her bag looking for her cell phone, "Why did I get myself a flight that went all night?" She thought to herself, finally finding her phone, "hello?" she asked, "Hey Iris! When are you getting back to town?" Iris looked down at her phone telling her it was 12:46 AM, "Well…" Iris started, "The flight takes five hours…so about six or seven in the morning…" The line went dead for a moment, "all right…I catch your drift, I'll let you sleep!" With that, the call ended, and Iris placed the phone back into the bag.
Still being wide-awake, Iris bent over to search her bag, finding a pair of headphones, along with a Playstation Portable. She opened another compartment, finding disks for the gaming device, and found the Kingdom Hearts game, and her face lit with joy. Iris loaded her game, she left off fighting Maleficent in Hollow Bastion however she finished her off quickly and progressed further in the game. Coming to a brick wall in the form of Riku, she was defeated twice, "Well…Third time's a charm…" she whispered to herself, and Iris attempted the battle again, and found success. Watching the scene play out before, her eyes started to water when Sora gave up his heart for Kairi.
Pausing the game, she looked out the window into the black sky, "Zashi… Its been a whole month since you left…" Iris turned to the paused scene before her, "and Marlena…I don't even know how long you have been gone for…" With that, she resumed the game, however her heart skipped a beat when she was given back control of Sora; however he was a Heartless. "Why do I have this awful pit in my heart?" Iris whispered to herself.
"Every light has Darkness, every Darkness has Light…" a voice seemed to echo inside of Iris' head, and she quickly looked around for the source but found none. However a streak of lightning caught her eye from outside and she paused the game again, sitting the device on her lap, "ladies and gentlemen we have encountered some turbulence, please fasten your seatbelts…" the low voice came again. Iris quickly found her seatbelt and latched herself to her seat, and starred out the window: dark, purple swirling clouds seemed to fill the night sky, with the lightning become more frequent.
"What's going on?" Iris thought to herself, while looking out the window, and she shook in her chair at the sight out the window, "I know I have seen this before…" saying those words Iris' mind was instantly taken back to the start of Kingdom Hearts, looking back at her paused game, she remembered Sora being pulled into a sphere of Darkness. Looking back out the window, Iris watched in horror as the clouds started to form into a sphere just like from the start of the game, and suddenly the lightning became almost constant, inching closer towards the airplane.
