Kingdom Hearts: The Lost Worlds
Prologue:
When an event takes place, it's aftereffects will undoubtedly become the makings of legends. However, with the passing of time, many things can be forgotten. Details, people, places…. Even entire worlds can be lost in the telling. Such is true in the legend of Sora, the Keybearer, who after his journeys and great adventure, traveled with his companions, Donald and Goofy, to find King Mickey, and Sora's childhood friend, Riku. Two years have passed since that day, and their search continues….
Chapter One: It Begins Again
The sun was bright in the verdant lands that Sora and his companions were walking through. After receiving the message from King Mickey, via the king's dog Pluto, they had went off I search of mousey monarch. As they were walking down another hill, Sora turned to Donald and said, "Well, this is one nice day, I wonder what adventures we'll have."
"Awe phooey," Donald exclaimed, "Nothing's gonna happen today. Nothing's happened in the last two months!"
All of a sudden, the blue sky was torn in two, making a huge rift appear. As the wind began to blow, from the rift descended a Gumi Ship. The trio watched in amazement as the Gumi Ship landed, and the huge doors opened. From the interior a familiar face stepped out.
"Leon!" Sora called, running towards the ship.
"Gawrsh, how did you get here?" Goofy asked, as he and Donald followed their friend.
"It's a long anf complicated story," Leon said, his expressionless as usual, "But I can tell you, it's beginning again."
Sora stopped at the base of the ship, and said with a grim face, "What is?"
"The Heartless have found a way to come back," Leon told them bluntly. Upon hearing this, Donald starting throwing a fit, and Goofy lifted his shield, expecting the little black creatures to pop out any second. Meanwhile, Leon continued, "The Heartless have found new worlds…Worlds they have somehow found the doors to. You must go these worlds and seal them. And there is yet another door. But not the door to the light that King Mickey spoke of."
"What door then, Leon?" Sora asked, confused.
"A door to the most terrible darkness that you could ever imagine," Leon said. "This gets deeper than you could ever know, Sora. When you reach the first world, you'll understand. Now take my Gumi Ship and go. They need you terribly"
Sora looked Goofy, then Donald, then smiled and said, "Well guys… Let's go!"

In a world on the edge of the universe, a dark and forsaken place, devoid of human life, a collection of great evil had begun. Dark creatures with beady yellow eyes guarded a large, broken down castle. From the massive double doors, down a long and twisted corridor, lit with torches seeming fueled by the malice emanating from the very walls, and through another set of wooden doors, was a vast, towering room lit with candles and lamps. In the center of the room stood a round table, the insignia of the Heartless engraved upon it. At the table were seated two Individuals.
One with spiked white hair and an evil look in his eyes said in his gravely voice, "I see why you are called Naraku. You are the epitome of Hell's evil!"
"I suppose," said the man with long black hair, shrouded in a cloak made of baboon skin, "And what are you called?"
"Call me, Marik- or when this is over, The King of Egypt!" replied the young man as he started laughing manically.
At that very moment, the doors to the chamber opened and four more individuals walked in. Three were dressed in black, with pale skin and eyes red as blood. The female who led them was the definition of beauty. Following in her wake was a short, fat man whose tongue hung out dripping saliva. The fat one turned to the woman and said, "Lust, isn't there anyone to eat here? I'm hungry!"
"Silence, Gluttony," said Lust, "We have work to do."
"Just be patient and we'll find something later," said one who came in behind them. This third fiend looked like an adolescent female, but it's voice and face could pin point no age or gender.
"But Envy, I'm hungry now!" Gluttony said, chewing his finger.
"We must finish this task," Lust said, producing a red stone. Envy carried two sacks to the table and laid their contents out. From one came the horns of a dragon, dust, and sharp teeth. As well as a splintered staff. And from the other were pieces of armor and glimmers of white hair. Then Lust threw two red stones onto the piles.
"Now to uphold my end of the bargain," Naraku said as he extended his hands over the piles of remains. Then, his hands seemed almost to melt, and drip a dark slinking matter onto the piles. This matter engulfed the remains and the gems and formed two bodies; one male, one female.
"And now to bring life to these empty shells!" Marik said, lifting a long, golden staff that had a large eye on it's tip. "My Millennium Rod! I command you to bring these creatures back from the halls of Anubis! Bring them Life!" he shrieked. Then, a yellow-white blast of energy shot out from the Rod to the bodies on the table. As the room filled with the light of the Rod's power, the eyes of the those on the table shot open, and both creatures let lose shrill cries of pain and horror.
The male being soon rose up, and his body was enveloped with flowing white robes and silver armor. His hair was white, and his eyes glowed yellow, rimmed with red. Then the female arose, and a cloak black as midnight enveloped her body, her long black hair twisting up as if alive as well, into the shape of horns. The broken staff reformed itself, and flew to her grasp. As her white fingers clutched her staff once more, her white eyes turned black.
Marik laughed with evil glee as he bowed to the beings they had resurrected. "Welcome back to the living, Ansem and Malificent." As the two floated down from the wooden table, the Heartless creatures seeped from outside and looked to their masters, and began dance in wild, jerky motions.
The woman called Malificent looked around at those assembled, and said, "By what magics were you able to bring us back?"
Lust tossed her dark hair back and said, "Through Alchemy. The both of you are homunculi, as we are, except you have your souls."
"And you can thank me for that," Marik said, "For the power of my Millennium Item restored your souls."
"And my own flesh went remake your bodies," Naraku said, standing. "You are both now half demons."
Ansem looked about and smiled, "I see you've have found out how to bring back the Heartless."
"Heartless are nothing but demons," Naraku said smugly, "I simply had to open a portal to Hell to bring them back."
"And you did not lose your heart?" Malificent asked.
Naraku laughed at her. "The 'heart' as you call it is nothing but the soul. And I have neither."
Ansem burst out with laughter, "Then you are indeed a worthy ally."
Naraku pulled down the hood to his cloak, covering his face with that of a baboon. "Indeed," he replied.
"Now can I eat something, Lust?" begged Gluttony. "Can I?"
"Of course you can eat," said a voice from the door. A figure who stood in the shadows threw in one of the Heartless. "How cruel of you not to feed him." the figure said as the little Heartless scuttled around. Gluttony licked his lips, and in second devoured the creature.
"Now, my dear friends," the mysterious guest said, "Allow me first to welcome you all to my castle. And once our hungry friend finishes his meal, we shall devise our plan…"

Sora watched the stars zoom by as they went further and further into the black abyss. But then, he saw a bright light in the distance. He squinted to see it more clearly, then turned to his friends and said, "I wonder what this new world will be like. What kind of people will we meet there?"
Donald looked up from the controls and said, "Aw, phooey! It'll be just like all the other places."
Sora looked down at his feathered friend and replied, "I don't know… I think… I feel like something else is going to happen. Something different… Incredible."
"Phooey," Donald mumbled.
Then, all of a sudden, they heard a loud BOOM! And the ship shook violently as the alarms flared up, filling the cockpit with red light as the computers said "Critical Damage. Critical Damage to the to hull. Critical Damage." As the warning continued to list the damage, Sora and Goofy looked out the window to see a fleet of Heartless ships surrounding them.
"Gawrsh! We're in trouble, Sora!"
"Man your battle stations," Donald quacked back at them. "NOW!"
Sora and Goofy scrambled to the turrets on either side of the ship as Donald tried to maneuver past the horde of ships, but even through their valiant efforts they heard three loud explosions, each BANG followed a nausea inducing spin, all while the warning alarms grew louder and louder. Then, loudest of all, the computers exclaimed, "WARNING! Hull has been breeched! Hull has been breeched!" The three friends looked at each other in terror as the Heartless boarded the ship. Within seconds, Large Bodies and Soldiers surrounded them. They leaped up from their seats to make one last stand. Then, everything went black.
-Transition to Feudal Japan-
"Miroku! Get the hell over here and help me!" Inu-yasha barked as a mass of the mysterious dark demons grabbed at his feet. "They just don't stop!"
"I'm on it!" Miroku called, unwrapping his right hand, "Wind Tunnel!" he cried as the viod in his hand stared sucking up the new demons. Inu-yasha cried out and jammed the Tetsusaiga into the ground to keep himself from being pulled in, too, as the last of the creatures were sucked in.
When the battle ground was clear, Inu-yasha pulled his sword up from the ground, walked to the monk, and smacked him in the end. "Watch where you're aiming that thing!" he yelled. "I could have been killed!"
Nearby, Sango woke up and rubbed her head, where one of the creatures had hit her earlier in the fight. She looked around, and saw little Shippo still a little dazed. Then she looked over at her two arguing friends and said, "Where's Kagome?"
"Huh?" Inu-yasha said, snapping to attention. "She's not here?" he sniffed around for her scent, then, leaped off to into the trees. "This way!"
"Wait! Inu-yasha!" Miroku called as he helped Sango to her feet.
The half-breed paid him no mind. He forged ahead in the direction of Kagome's scent, the smell of her growing stronger with each step. Then, he parted a mass of bushes, and came upon a very odd sight.
Some guy, dressed in weird clothes, lay unconscious in Kagome's arms, the two surrounded in piles of multicolored rubble.
"Wha…. What's going on!" Inu-yasha cried, pissed and confused beyond all reason.
