Chapter One: A New Mission
----------------------------------------
"I wonder what could be wrong."
"It must be something really important for him to call for our help so soon."
"Yeah, you're probably right."
"Hey, listen Sora, don't worry, as soon as this is over, the sooner we could go home," said the silver-haired teen to the other sitting across from him.
The brunette teenager looked at his friend, offering him a smile."Yup, but it's kinda fun once you think about, now we're pretty much the worlds' protectors, right Riku?"
"That's our job as keyblade weild-", the stopping of the gummie ship cut Riku off. "Looks like we're here," said Riku as he stood up from his seat, Sora followed suit.
"Yup,Disney Castle." Both teens exited to ship and looked to their destination.
"Sora!!! Riku!!!," the keyblade wielders looked to see Donald and Goofy running towards them, at full speed.
"Luck, Sora,", Riku stepped aside, away from the soon to be path of destruction. It took Sora some time to understand what the older Keyblade wielder meant, but it was already too late.
Riku smiled as he began a countdown in his head. 'Three. Two. One.' As soon as he reached 'one' Donald and Goofy collided head on with Sora, send the younger of the two back a couple of feet.
"Ow" Riku couldn't help but laugh as the reunion. Sora, clearly dazed by the body slam could only mutter random things such as "What pretty stars...". This only made Riku laugh at his best friend to the point of tears. He walked over to the three, Donald and Goofy, trying to get Sora back to his senses using a good smack to the face but no avail.
"Come on Sora!! Wake Up!!." Donald tried to shake Sora back to his old self but stopped when he saw Riku walk over, now with a smile on his face.
"Sora, we're having a test, and homework's due," said Riku calmly.
Sora immediately snapped out of it. "WHAT?!?!? There's a TEST!?!? And HOMEWORK TOO!?!?!?!?" The Brunette was in a state of panic, his eyes wide open and his mouth hanging.
"Just kidding."
Sora stared at his best friend, mouth hung open. "That's…that was mean!!!," Sora pouted, " Almost gave me a freakin' heart attack!!"
Riku chuckled. "I love you too,Sora,"he replied in a mocking tone. He offered a hand to Sora who greatly took it. Once back on his feet, Donald and Goofy hugged Sora and then Riku.
" 'Bout time you got here, we were getting worried," said Donald.
"His Majesty is in the throne room, ahuck, he's been wantin' to talk to ya about the new mission," stated Goofy.
"Then, lets not keep him waiting," said Riku," mind taking us to him."
"Lets go see King Mickey!!," cheered Sora.
OOOO
"Sora, Riku! Good to see you again ,fellas!," said Mickey as he jumped off his throne to greet the other two wielders. Donald and Goofy gave a bow to their king, so Riku and Sora did the same.
"Good to see you again Mickey," said Riku as he and the king shook hands.
"How have things been, Your Majesty?," asked Sora.
The small king let out a sigh, "That's what I want to talk to you about," Both teens looked at each other in confusion. "Come, I'll explain everything in the meeting room, we can talk safely there." Sora and Riku did as they were told and followed King Mickey. They followed through many halls until they reached a single door, it opened to reveal a long, mahogany table in the middle of a room that seemed to extend to the top of the castle. Large stained glass windows brought in the light that illuminated the room. The light also gave the white walls their elegant design of soft colors and shapes. Mickey walked into the room, to the head of the table and sat. Sora and Riku walked in, amazed at the size of the room. Each took a seat next to Mickey; Sora on his left, Riku on his right. Donald and Goofy stood next to Mickey's chain in the same fashion.
"What going on Your Majesty?," asked Sora.
The king let out another sigh and began his explanation. "It appears that many worlds are disappearing once again."
"What?!?"
"Yeah, I went to visit a world not to long ago called Shambala. It was a nice peaceful world that was not fazed by the heartless or the Organization. On my trip I came across some strange creatures, as they were attacking a small town. At first, I thought they were heartless that might have gotten to the worlds, but it appears I was wrong," Riku and Sora listen intently to the story. " I tried attacking it, but my Keyblade didn't even faze it. Many of the villagers succeeded in driving the creatures away. Soon after the attack, I ran into an old friend of mine. He explained to me everything. He explained to me that the creatures I saw were called Crawlers, and that they come from they Dark Markers. He told me that they were the whole cause for the Organization in the first place."
"Wait a second, you're saying that everything dealing with Organization XIII was all planned from the very beginning," cried Sora.
"Exactly."
"That's…just crazy," whispered Riku.
"That was exactly my same thought, as well," said Mickey.
"How do we come in to the picture," asked Sora.
"My friend told me what some of they worlds call 'The Prophecy'," he started.
'Protectors of the Worlds and Guardians of Peace. Thou shall protect thee, the crystal of Light and Dark, of Serenity and Chaos. Guardians of Fire, Water, Earth, Spirit, Wind, Magic, Sun and Moon, come forth and join with the wielders of the keys and give thy power to the crystal: The Keeper. Who shall be our greatest treasure and thy weapon. Cometh with thy will to fight and armor thy Keeper. Those who have fallen into the darkest depths, cometh and fight for thy freedom. Darkness shall rule supreme if the Keeper is taken. Peace shall be restored if the Keeper succeeds.' And that's as far as he got."
"Question. Who's this…Keeper, that is mention a lot and the Guardians?," asked Riku.
"I have no clue. That friend of mine was going to come and visit me tomorrow. I wanted you boys to meet him so he can explain better than I can. I just hope the others can make it here in time."
"Others?," asked Sora.
"You don't mean...," catching on to what Mickey was getting at.
"Yup, Those who have fallen into the darkest depths, members of the former Organization XIII."
"Somehow, I knew they were going to play into this," said Riku.
"Question. How are they going to work with us, after we technically killed them once before," asked Sora.
"Well, you two actually saved them," Mickey started, " When you 'killed' them, the Keyblade really unlocked their hearts and became Somebodys, but still kept their Nobody appearance. I sent for them and I'm hoping they are willing to help."
"In the Prophecy, it said something about gaining freedom, what does that mean?," asked Riku.
"I think it has something to do with redemption. If they help fight for the worlds, maybe they can be completely freed from the darkness for good."
"They're still attached to the darkness?"
"In a way, they still can use their dark abilities, such as their powers, but the darkness isn't controlling them like before. It'd kind of like you Riku; you have a little bit of darkness still in your heart, but it's dormant. It's the same with them. They aren't all bad now, they were just being controlled."
Sora and Riku nodded. They both had a new mission to take care of, and they knew that it wasn't going to be easy.
"I had some guest rooms ready for you since you had a long trip. Donald with take you to your room if he doesn't mind."
"Not at all Your Majesty," replied the duck.
"Feel free to make yourselves at home. I'll call you when the others have arrived to discuss the details in full." The small king got off his chair, followed by Donald and Goofy, then by Sora and Riku. Mickey gave his finally farewell for the time being and then left with Goofy. Donald led the two boys back down one of the hall ways they had taken before and then up another flight of stairs to the hall. Donald showed the boys their rooms, which were right across from each other. After making sure the boys were fine, Donald left, leaving the teens in the hallway.
"I don't know about you," said Sora yawning, "but I'm gonna take a nap."
"Same here, don't fall of the bed, okay?," said Riku as he walked into his room.
"Not funny Riku!!," he could hear Riku's chuckle from the hall and then stomped into his room and fell face first into the comfy pillow. He rolled onto his back and a stared at the ceiling, thinking.
'Everything that happened in that time was all planned? Even the Organization? This is way to weird. Everything Riku and I went through…was it all for nothing, or was it just…" thought Sora as he finally closed his eyes and drifted off to a peaceful sleep.
Meanwhile, Riku sat up on his bed, his arm was sitting on his knee while he looked out the window, looking at the tree. He sighed as he thought, " It's too peaceful here. It's too much like the clam before the storm." He let out another sigh.
"This is going to be one hell of a fight."
