Prologue

"So why did you decide to tell us this story now?" Kairi asked while her, Riku and King Mickey were walking down the stairs of Yen Sid's tower. Mickey just told Riku and Kairi the story of the time he saw Aqua in the Realm of Darkness.

"I just thought now was the appropriate time. I mean now Riku and I are going to go save her as soon as we drop you off at Radiant Garden to do your training." Mickey said

"Shouldn't we wait to tell Sora where we're going?" Kairi asked.

"Don't worry." Riku said. "If we need him I know he'll be there."

They exited Yen Sid's tower, got in Mickey's Gummi Ship and flew off toward Radiant Garden. "Hey Mickey, how are we supposed to find a way into the Realm of Darkness? As you said it's not easy to find."

"Well if we keep believing I know we'll find it." Mickey said

"You have no clue, do you?" asked Kairi

"Nope, not a one." Mickey said truthfully

"Hey Riku, you got any ideas?" Kairi asked

"I just might but you're not going to like it." Riku said

"Well what-" Mickey started before being cut off by Riku

"Look there's Radiant Garden." Riku pointed out. "Kairi get ready this where your training begins."

"Alright thanks Riku, thanks Your Majesty." Kairi hugged Riku and shook hands with the King and was teleported right in front of Merlin's house. "Alright this is where it all begins."

As she walked in a rather tall person almost knocked her down. "Woah sorry" said the tall male. "Hey I don't know you. You got a name?"

Kairi just looked at this man in awe. "Kairi." she finally said.

The man just chuckled "So you're Kairi. You're the one Sora's going on about. My name is Leon. Nice to meet you Kairi. If you're here to see Merlin he's inside."

Kairi walked inside. "It won't be as simple as that to get your friends back." said an old man wearing a wizards getup.

"I want to see them. Isn't there way to teach me faster, old man?" said a spiky red head wearing a black trench coat.

"Teaching you that wouldn't matter if you don't get the good training first." Said the old man

"What are you doing here Axel?" Kairi piped up making them both look at her

"It's Lea." Lea corrected her. "If you must know though, I am training here to become a Keyblade master. But the old man won't teach me what I won't.

"Because I don't even know if there is a way to bring back Roxas or Xion." the old man said. "Anyway great to meet you Kairi. I'm Merlin the wizard and I will be training both you and Lea here. Will you first summon forth your Keyblade." When Kairi summoned it Merlin was almost blew away. "Could it be..."

"What is it?" Kairi asked curious what made Merlin suprised.

"Nothing, it's just I could swear I've seen that Keyblade before." Merlin Said

"Well anyway-" he started but then was interrupted by someone typing on a computer. "Cid do you have to do that now?"

"Yes or else the town won't get rebuilt." Cid said

"Hey Cid." said a young woman. Kairi's jaw dropped and right then she could swear she saw the most beautiful girl ever
