Something goes wrong, leaving Sora separated from Donald and Goofy without his memories. But then, a mysterious boy named Roxas comes along, and together a new story unfolds.

Chapter 1

"What's going on?!" Namine cried as Riku and DiZ appeared beside her. Sora's pod was cracking and their base was beginning to fall apart.

"Damn the Organization! Riku, get Sora out of here, I'll find Roxas. Namine, you help Riku with the transportation." DiZ ordered. Before anything could be said, DiZ was gone.

"Come on." Riku said. Namine nodded as the two prepared to open a portal to transport Sora. Namine noticed that Riku glanced at her.

"What?"

"Just thinking…I'm going in with Sora, just to make sure he's okay." Riku said. Namine gave him a look, but opened the portal anyway. Riku reached into the pod to grab Sora when the pod suddenly exploded. There was a flash of light and suddenly Roxas was holding Sora and standing in front of the portal Namine had created.

"R-Roxas? What are you doing?" Namine cried. Roxas ignored her and jumped into the portal. The blonde-haired girl simply watched as Riku opened up a portal. Since Riku's hood was covering his face, Namine assumed that he was looking at her.

"Coming?" He asked. Namine nearly choked before thinking it over. Then her intense blue eyes flashed with determination.

"DiZ is going to be really mad at us." She said as she ran into the portal. With a short chuckle, Riku followed her.

Roxas looked around, hoping to find something familiar. All he found however was a blue-eyed brunette waking up. The boy blinked.

"Who're you?" Sora asked with a yawn.

"Hollow Bastion…" Roxas mumbled in a spacey voice. Sora gave him an odd look.

"Your name's Hollow Bastion?" Sora asked. Roxas rolled his eyes.

"No, my name is Roxas. I was saying that we're in Hollow Bastion." Roxas explained. Sora replied with an understanding nod. The brunette then turned to someone calling his name.

"Sora!" A girl shouted. There was a large shuriken in her hands and Sora flinched when she threw. The shuriken completely missed Sora, looped around Roxas, and took out three Heartless.

"Heartless!" Sora said, summoning his Keyblade. Roxas summoned two and the two Keyblade wielders stood back to back.

"Ready Sora?" Roxas asked.

"Wait, how do you know my name?" Sora asked as Roxas charged towards the Heartless. With a pout, Sora sliced a Heartless that was dumb enough to jump towards him.

"I don't know!" Roxas shouted, answering Sora's question two minutes later. Sora stopped and looked at him.

"So my name just popped into your head?" Sora asked. The brunette then looked down. By now, the Heartless were gone, thanks to the combined efforts of Roxas, Sora, and Yuffie.

"Yep, pretty much." Roxas said before laughing. Sora blushed slightly.

"So, are you guys coming or what?" Yuffie asked. Sora looked at her hard, as if he was trying to remember something.

"Who are you?" The brunette asked, his smile gone. Yuffie's smile disappeared as well.

"Are you kidding? We promised not to forget each other?!" The dark haired ninja cried. Sora looked confused.

"He lost his memory!" Roxas said. Yuffie looked at him suspiciously.

"And who are you?"

"Roxas." The blond answered. Yuffie looked at him and then at Sora, who still looked confused.

"Come on, let's go see Merlin and Leon." Yuffie said.

--

"Lost your memory, huh?" Cid asked. Sora and Roxas were standing in a circle and surrounding them were Leon, Merlin, Aerith, Yuffie, and the before mentioned blond, Cid.

"I guess…" Sora said.

"Well that's interesting." Merlin noted. Leon nodded.

"But what about my clothes? They're kinda small." Sora asked. Roxas, who was previously staring at the floor trying to figure things out, looked up.

"I have an idea, you can use mine." The blond spoke up. Everybody looked at him.

"Then what are you going to wear?" Sora asked. Roxas went into the bathroom and came out seconds later with his clothes in his arm. He was currently a black robe with a hood in the back. Sora, who was not in the least concerned about where the robe came from, said a quick 'thanks' and went into the bathroom.

"Now that he's gone…" Roxas let his sentence hang and Yuffie was the first to speak.

"How do you know Sora?" She asked.

"We just kinda wound up here." Roxas answered. Yuffie continued to look at him suspiciously.

"How can you wield the Keyblade?" Leon asked.

"I dunno. I just can, kind of like Sora." Roxas answered.

"What about me?" Came the brunette's voice. Roxas's clothes seemed to fit well on Sora, who was holding Roxas's rings and wrist band in his hand.

"Oh, thanks." Roxas said as he caught the items that Sora had just thrown. Roxas took off the gloves and tossed them aside. He then slipped the two rings onto his fingers and then put on his wristband.

"Oh, nothing, nothing." Merlin replied. Yuffie, Aerith, Cid, and Leon looked at him and he answered them with an 'I-know-what-I'm-doing' glance.

"Are you sure…Merlin?" Sora said. Merlin nodded.

"Now, do you remember how to use magic?" Merlin asked. Sora seemed to be lost in thought for a bit, and then looked back at Merlin. The brunette summoned his Keyblade and rose it into the air.

"Thunder." Sora mumbled. A bolt of lightning appeared from nowhere and slammed into the center of the large table in the middle of Merlin's house.

"Good, good." Merlin said, obviously ignoring the fact that his table was now ruined.

"Um, sorry about your table?" Sora said meekly.

"Cure." Merlin said with a gentle smile. A green light appeared over the table and it became like new. Sora smiled.

"Well now, off with you two. Oh and Sora, try to regain your memory, okay?" Merlin said. The other members of the household looked at him oddly, but he gave them the same answer. The two boys looked confused as well but left the room.

"So you don't remember any of those people?" Roxas asked. Sora shook his head gravely, obviously upset to have forgotten people he was supposed to remember. Before either of them could speak further, they were surrounded by Heartless.

"Get ready Roxas." Sora said, summoning his Keyblade. Roxas summoned his two and got back-to-back with Sora. The Heartless jumped forward, but before the two Keyblade wielders could counter, a dark portal appeared. There was a still silence.

"Do we go in?" Roxas asked while eyeing the Heartless.

"I dunno, we have nowhere else to go. Sides, we can take care of ourselves." Sora said, holding up his Keyblade with a smile. Roxas looked down at Oathkeeper and Oblivion and smiled before following Sora into the dark portal.
