Kairi Beloved 2: Dark Paopu Fruit

Chapter One

I had made a minor mistake in Kairi Beloved I. I wrote Destiny Islands instead of Destiny Island, and had barely noticed this. I apologize for any inconvenience caused.

In Kairi Beloved I, the story begins with Sora, Riku and Kairi on Destiny Island. There are arguments between Sora and Riku on who should share the paopu fruit with Kairi, and from there they are all separated from each other due to the return of Ansem and the Heartless. Kairi is determined to find Riku and Sora, and it ends up it was all Ansem's doing. And in the end, Sora/Riku and Kairi are separated by Ansem.

In Kairi Beloved's Not So Secret Ending, three figures appear in a strange place and are fighting Heartless. Who are the figures, you might ask?

You'll have to find out...

~ Kairi stood staring at a large tree ahead of her. Small orbs of light floated around it, gleaming in the sunlight. The tree was enormous, with beautiful green leaves and many limbs.

She walked towards the tree slowly. What were those orbs of light floating around the tree? Why was the tree gathering them?

Kairi approached the tree and touched its moist bark with his right index finger. Sap dripped down the bark, and the lights continued to float in the air around the tall tree.

There was a hollow in the tree above her where the lights entered. This hollow glowed as one by one the lights vanished inside it.

She removed her finger from the tree, and looked up at its limbs. The limbs swayed in the soft breeze, and the leaves rustled.

Now almost all the lights had been in the hollow and were gone, and the leaves growing on the limbs fell off and down to the ground. The breeze grew stronger and stronger.

What is the purpose of this tree? Kairi asked herself as the leaves fell beside her on the dirt ground.

Its purpose is to connect the stars, a voice behind Kairi explained. Kairi turned and saw a boy.

The boy had dark messy and untidy black hair. He also had brown eyes and light skin. He held a gray and black keyblade.

he said. Two keyblades, the Divine Rose and Lady Luck keyblades, suddenly appeared in Kairi's hands. She gripped them tightly. She then glanced down at them and back at the boy.

Who are you? Kairi questioned him.

the boy responded. I came here to cut down the tree. In a few minutes it will be dead.

Why would you want to cut it down if it connects the stars? Kairi asked confusedly.

It isn't connecting them anymore, it is destroying them, Mero explained. See those lights? He pointed at two orbs of light that remained and were floating around the tree. Those are two stars. This tree absorbs each star with its sap, then send them to its hollow. And it destroys them one by one. And in the sky, each star that vanishes in the hollow disappears.

But don't trees give off oxygen, not destroy stars? Kairi said.

This tree's waste of oxygen is useless. It instead destroys stars, absorbing them. If all the stars are gone, it'll absorb the worlds.

Where am I?

You're in Taurus Town, Mero said. Come. I'll show you around.

Have you seen anyone... with silver hair? Kairi asked. Or brown hair, wearing a crown pendant?

Not recently, but maybe someone back in town might have, he said. He took Kairi past the tree and into a forest.

Where were Riku and Sora?
