"Nothing ever happens here" Riku muttered, walking along the beach with Tidus.

"Who cares? It's pretty peaceful here" Selphie commented, following them, much to Tidus's ire.

"Who invited her?" Tidus whispered to Riku annoyed. He grew even more annoyed when Selphie smacked him with her jump rope. "Hey...what's that over there?" he suddenly asked pointing to an tattered white blob at the end of the beach. They all ran over to it, which was slowly picking itself. When they finally reached the thing, now revealed to be a kid around 6 years old.

"You okay? You look kinda...awful" Selphie commented. Riku winced. Could she be any more blunt? It was true though. Not only was his clothes tattered...but he was bleeding on his forehead and he was covered in small cuts and bruises...not to mention his clothes being soaked.

He opened his eyes, revealing dark blue orbs that carried an strange glow in them. He absently pulled an spiky lock of brown hair. "Yeah I'm fine."

"You can come with me to my house...and get cleaned up. You really do look awful. I'm Riku, what's your name?" For a second the boy looked like he wasn't gonna answer Riku, but thought against.

"I'm Sora...nice to meet you."

Suddenly Selphie cheered. "Yay!! With Sora and Kairi here now we have two new friends!! I'm gonna go tell Wakka!" And with that, she dashed off, Tidus close behind.

Sora stared after them...but decided to follow Riku. And ignore the funny feeling that he was forgetting something important.

Chapter 1

"Sleeping again Sora? You're such a bum." Lazy, disinterested blues opened to look at the redhead above him.

"What else is there to do? I'm bored...so i'll sleep." Sora replied to Kairi, closing his eyes again.

"You could help me and Riku build the raft!!" Kairi cried out, getting annoyed with Sora.

"You're saying it wrong...It's Riku and I" Sora corrected, knowing it'd annoyed Kairi. He smirked when she stomped off. Sora had changed a lot over 9 years he was on Destiny Islands. He was outgoing, cheerful, and generally alot more talkative than he used to be. He hadn't changed much in appearance though. A thinner face, same blue eyes and spiky brown hair. Sora was wearing a short sleeved blue and black chinese style shirt with black pants. Simple and comfortable he called it, much to Kairi's ire. Sora was cut off from his thoughts as some logs landed on top of him. He move them off to glare at the offender. Angry blue eyes met amused aqua ones.

"You wanna come with us then you gotta help out Sora." Riku told him, then preceded to give him a list of things to do.

'Today's gonna be a crappy day. I can feel it.' Sora told himself depressingly, going to look for fish in the water.

The swords were clashing, fast and fiercely. Almost faster than she could track. She could identify the fighters though. One was an tall, thin blonde man, wearing an black hakama, with baggy pants. He was emitting lightning at random intervals, making his blade even deadlier. He hacked and sawed and tried everything he could to kill his opponent. The other fighter was holding his own though. He wore an open black jacket, with silver lines running all over. Some of the lines met up and ran together to form symbols. He wore baggy black shorts with silver patches on it. He had spiky brown hair, but that was all that could be seen. On his face he wore an dark skeleton like mask. The mask seemed like it was melded to his face, and was pure white with three dark jagged lines coming from the right side of his mask. The eyeholes and space in between his eyes were black, and his eyes were yellow. He wielded to katannas, an completely black one in his right hand, and a completely white one in his left. He'd occasionally throw out black or silver rays of light out towards his opponent. She was confused. She had no idea who they were or why they fought. The only thing she picked up from this dream were there eyes. The blonde's one gave her the chills, it spoke of ruthlessness, and pain. The brown haired's one gave her confidence, and something else she couldn't place. Suddenly, she heard an crack. And saw that the boy's mask was removed. She tried to look, but it was becoming blurry. All she saw were intense ocean blue eyes...

"Ahhh!" Yuna woke up aggravated. Everytime she has that dream, she never got to see that boy's face. She couldn't really call him a boy, she thought to herself. He looked to be about her age, maybe a little younger. She was almost positive that the dream meant something important. If only she could figure out what it was though...

"HEY YUNA!! AWAKE YET!!" Came a shrill cry from behind her, making Yuna shoot up into the air. She turned around and glared at the grinning innocently Rikku. Rikku was one of the prettiest girls Yuna knew. With her blonde braided hair, whirlpool green eyes, and figure, Rikku was beautiful. Rikku would tell you the same about Yuna. Who had one blue eye, and one green one, Straight brown hair that went down to her shoulders, and a great figure that was still developing and she hid it under her robes.

"I am now...what did you want Rikku?" Yuna asked. Try as she might, she could never stay mad at Rikku. She was pretty used to it though. Rikku did it everyday.

"Did you have that dream again?" Rikku asked. When Yuna nodded, Rikku squealed. "That dream means that the brown haired boy is going to be your future man!! And he's gonna save you from the blonde one!!" Rikku yelled, having no idea how close she was to the truth with that statement. She laughed at the flustered Yuna. " You said yourself that he was cute, and gave you courage. He's gonna be your man!! But you have to promise to share!!"

"O-okay..." Was all Yuna could say...as she and Rikku prepared for the day. 'Why do I have this feeling, I'm going to meet him really soon?'

"This world has been connected."

"What are you talking about?" Where did this guy come from?! All Sora did was go to his and Kairi's secret spot...well maybe he shouldn't have gone to look at the door that just happened to be in the cave. Either way, the guy in a cloak was creeping him out.

"You've come so far...yet still no so little..."

"What?" Sora was getting pissed. He wouldn't charge this guy...it wouldn't look good. To who, he didn't know. Attacking this guy just seemed wrong. Everything about him screamed "Danger!" to Sora.

"What...are...you...TALKING ABOUT?!" Sora finally yelled out. It only pissed him off further when the man chuckled.

"Go outside and you'll see."

Sora was sceptical...but he decided to go out and look anyway.

He slashed another one of these dark things. He noticed motion behind him and quickly ran a sweep with his sword destroying three more. 'Where did these things come from?! WHAT are they? Where are Sora and Kairi and the others?' He lost his train of thought when the remaining heartless cleared. He paid no attention to that, but took the time to run off to look for someone, ANYONE around that could tell him what was happening. He ran to the secret spot, hoping to see Sora and Kairi. He saw Kairi, but it was different. She was transparent, like a ghost. "Kairi?" Riku asked tentatively.

She turned. Riku flinched unconsciously. It was the Kairi he knew, but it wasn't. She was paler then normal, and her eyes were dead-looking. It hurt Riku just looking at her. She moved for him and passed right threw him. The door behind her opened, 'Where'd that come from?' Riku wondered, and a force of wind pushed him out of the cave.

(At the same time Riku's fighting heartless)

Sora ran out of the cave and looked around. The first thing he noticed were the black ant looking things creeping towards him. He lashed out at one of them with a kick, but it went right through it, and left Sora with scratches all over his leg. "Forget this" and turned around and ran back into the secret spot. 'Riku can take care of himself...and Kairi's probably at home sleeping through this...and I'm the lazy one?' He ran back into the cave, hoping to force what's happening from the cloaked man. However it wasn't the guy he ran into.

"Tidus? What are you doing here?"

The blonde turned around, and Sora gasped. Tidus was glowing, and not in a good way. He was glowing a dark purple color that gave him an very creepy feeling. His eyes were no longer blue, but were pale white matching the whites of his eyes.

"Hey Sora...Are you ready?" When he talked it sounded like two people were talking.

"Ready for what?" Sora asked cautiously.

"To..." what creeped Sora out was that the sentence was finished, not from Tidus, but from behind him.

"Die" Sora's eye's darted behind him and saw...An white haired man with a huge shadow attacking him.

'What?!' He lept back to avoid the man's swipe, and lept back further to avoid the shadow's swipe. An strike to the back alerted Sora. 'I forgot about Tidus!' He lept back against the wall and glared at all three of them. ' I can't take three of them...So why don't I see what's behind the door?' With thought he rushed Tidus, who was closest to the door, and lept over him to pull open the door.

"NO!" Two voices cried at once.

"BITE ME!!" Sora screamed back. And pulled the door open. A blinding flash of light erupted from the door and Sora lost consciousness.

Riku woke up and saw the island he was on...was floating? Riku rubbed his eyes and looked again. Yep, the island was floating. "So what happens now?" A roar erupted from behind him. "I really wish I didn't asked that, he muttered, fingering his new keyblade. He looked behind and saw that shadow from his dream again. "You again, huh? Fine...Let's go."
