A/N alright, been a while since I've written, blame the video games. This is the new and improved sequel to "In Darkness Undone, In Darkness Created", so if you haven't read that, go read it and leave a quick review if you would. WARNING (not really, but it sounds dramatic): The following story is indeed a sequel to the story mentioned before, but it is NOTHING like the previous sequel I wrote. The only thing that will be similar will be a few characters. This is not a sequel to "The War of New Beginnings", but as I said before (and as I'm sure your sick of reading), a sequel to "In Darkness Undone, In Darkness Created".
DISCLAIMER I don't own this, I don't own Square, I don't own Sony. Get the picture yet?
A year, a peaceful year. Nothing threatening to destroy the whole universe, just worrying about homework in school. That is where a certain boy with spiky brown hair was right now, he wore a white shirt with a blue tie and a pair of blue jeans. His head lay on his arms and his eyes closed. "Sora, you had better wake up before the teacher catches you" a female voice warned. The voice came from a girl about the same age as Sora. She had semi long bright red hair and vivid blue eyes. She was dressed in a duplicate of Sora's uniform, only with a skirt.
"Don't worry Kai, he never does" Sora said tiredly.
"What were you doing last night? I've never seen you like this" Kairi asked concerned.
"Ask Matt, he'll tell you" Sora replied, not bothering to lift his head up. Kairi let out a loud sigh.
"Sora, since you seem to find sleeping and talking to your girlfriend more important then learning, perhaps you could tell us the answer" a male voice said from the front of the room. Sora slowly opened up his eyes and his blue eyes were revealed. Sora squinted his eyes and looked hard at the board. On the board was a complex math problem.
"Uhhhhh" was all that came out of Sora's mouth.
"I thought so. All right, who can answer this. Someone besides Kairi please" the teacher said. A hand came up slowly. "Oh great, alright Matt, tell us the answer" the teacher sighed loudly. A boy around Sora and Kairi's age shot up out of his seat. He was wearing the uniform too. He had somewhat long brown hair, and had bright green eyes full of mischief. "And, if you try anything funny, you'll be sorry" the teacher warned.
"Who, me? Why would I do anything funny?" Matt asked innocently.
"Just tell us the answer" the teacher sighed. Matt looked at the problem for a moment.
"X equals 4" Matt said confidently.
"Yeah, that right" the teacher said. The bell rang and Sora quickly got up. "Okay, don't forget about your homework and have a nice weekend" the teacher said as everyone left the room quickly. When Sora and Kairi got outside, Sora grabbed her hand.
"Finally, I thought the weekend would never come" Sora told her.
"Hey there you two" someone shouted from behind them. Sora and Kairi both turned around. Coming towards them were two more people around their same age. One was a boy that had spiked blond hair and Sora's eyes. The other was a girl. She had semi long blond hair draped over her right shoulder and had Kairi's eyes.
"Hey Roxas, Naminé" Sora said when they got closer.
"Hi Sora. How are the two of you doing?" Naminé asked when they got closer.
"Pretty good, how about the two of you?" Kairi asked.
"Good. Hey, do you two have any plans?" Roxas asked.
"Well, me and Kairi were going to go to the island tonight. But we don't have anything planned for tomorrow" Sora answered. "Why?" Sora asked.
"Just wondering" was all Roxas said. They continued walking. After a couple of minutes they saw someone up ahead. The person was a year older than Sora and the others and had long silver hair and green-blue eyes.
"Hey there Riku" Sora said waving. Riku looked over and waved and waited for the group.
"So, only a week before Winter Break starts" Riku said when the group reached him.
"Yeah, I can't wait" Sora said excitedly.
"Yeah, two weeks without school. It'll be great" Roxas said. Just then a loud shout could be heard. None of the group bothered to turn around.
"Matt?" Sora asked. Everyone except for Sora turned around.
"Yes" they all replied at once, letting out loud sighs. Sora slowly turned around. Matt was struggling to get his backpack off of a tree.
"Meet one of the great and powerful Keybearers, losing a fight to a tree" Riku said sighing. Matt looked over at the group.
"IT'S NOT THE TREE! IT'S WHAT'S IN HERE!" Matt shouted at them.
"Do we even want to know?" Naminé asked the rest.
"Personally, I don't really want to know" Kairi said shaking her head.
"Come on, we had better help him" Sora said as he walked over to Matt. Matt was still struggling against the tree. Sora took a peek inside the tree. "Matt, you have to be kidding me" Sora said sighing.
"What can I say, animals hate me" Matt replied as he pulled on his backpack again.
"You know, you should be grateful that I'm your brother" Sora said.
"I know, I am, okay. Now please help me" Matt said. Sora grabbed the other strap and started to pull with Matt. After a minute the backpack finally came out, and with it, a whole bunch of squirrels. Seeing that they had lost, the squirrels ran away as fast as they could.
"I take that back, one of the great and powerful Keybearers losing to a bunch of squirrels" Riku said.
"What do you have in there that a bunch of squirrels would want?" Roxas asked.
"I have some old cookies" Matt said as he reached into his backpack and pulled out some unopened cookies.
"How long have those been in there?" Naminé asked.
"A couple of weeks" Matt replied simply as he opened the cookies up.
"Matt, that's nasty" Kairi said.
"What, they were unopened. Anyways, think about how long some cookies must sit in vending machines" Matt replied as he took a bite of the cookie. Kairi and Naminé both looked at Matt for a long moment.
"Suddenly, I don't ever want to buy food out of a vending machine again" Kairi said.
"Same here" Naminé said.
"And another thing, what about things in a grocery store?" Matt asked, some crumbs coming out of his mouth.
"Okay, just shut up now" Kairi told him.
"Or..." Matt started, but was stopped by a hand.
"Just stop now, please" Roxas begged as he released Matt's mouth. Matt shrugged his shoulders and went back to eating his cookie.
"You know, with nothing attacking us, it gets pretty boring here" Riku commented after a few minutes of silence.
"Yeah, we're so used to things attacking us that the very thing we wanted most is now the thing we're dreading" Naminé added in.
"Well, if you guys are bored, how about a quick sparring match?" Matt asked as he grabbed the other cookie out of the package.
"Me and Kairi are going to the island this evening" Sora said.
"Ah, the island..." Matt said.
"Don't even think of it" Kairi growled.
"Why is it that people always assume things about me?" Matt asked.
"Because we know you too well" Roxas replied.
"Anyway, I was going to take Roxas with me shopping" Naminé said.
"Uhhh...I have massive homework" Roxas said quickly.
"Roxas, we share our classes. I know you don't have homework. You aren't getting out of this" she told him. Putting her hands on her hips.
"Guys, help please" Roxas begged. He soon saw that everyone else had abandoned him. "Traitors" he mumbled to himself.
"Come on, hurry up" Naminé said pulling on his arm.
/\/\IN A DARK AREA/\/\
"It is nice that you could join me. I know that I have been gone for a while, but our time has finally returned" a man said. In front of him were eight other figures.
"HAHA, a long time indeed. Only two thousand years" a deep voice boomed.
"Yes, after the last battle we lost contact with you. What happened?" a very calm voice asked.
"The fools sealed me away in this cursed place" the leader grumbled.
"Well, you may not like you accommodations, but it could serve our purpose very well" a female voice told him.
"Yes, I am well aware of the power that Kingdom Hearts has" the leader said. "Now for the reason I have called you all. The prophecy has begun. The Prince of Light has begun to awaken and he is already with almost everyone else in the prophecy. We must strike him down now" the leader explained.
"HAHA, I say we let loose a legion of Heartless and let them take their hearts. I wouldn't mind tasting the heart of a Keybearer" the deep voice said.
"There is one problem with your plan" a collected female voice said.
"And what would that be?!" the deep voice demanded.
"Heartless, Nobodies, and Reformed could all be killed with the Keyblade. We need to attack them with something that can't" the female explained.
"Ah, I see, send the Freesouls after them. But what would we do with their Husks?" another voice asked.
"If I may?" a deep accented female voice offered. Everyone around the table nodded their heads. "Ve know zat ze Freesouls can't be destroyed by ze Keyblade, and you raise a good point about ze Husks. All ve need to do is simply separate the heart from the body, zen implant a false soul into the Nobody that would be created. Voila, a Heartless, Nobody, and Freesoul. If needed, we could even merge them back togezer into a True Reformed" she told them.
"It is a good plan" the collected male voice said.
"I agree" the collected female voice added in.
"HAHA, I may not be able to taste their hearts, but I can at least gain some Heartless" the deep voice boomed.
"Very well then, we send the Freesouls. We need someone to lead them however. Heather, you are to lead the Freesouls to Destiny Islands" the leader said.
"All right" a young female voice replied.
"Soon, the Keybearers shall know what true power is. And from learning what true power is, they shall know true fear" the leader said to himself.
A/N wow, only the first chapter and I already like this story better than the last one. Please review.
