Kingdom Hearts: Spira's Doorway
Chapter One
Another Beginning
"Come on, Sora!" Riku yelled. "I have seen you fight and it is better than this."
"I keep getting distracted. I swear something is in the sky," Sora said, rubbing his head from were Riku had landed a painful smack with a wooden sword.
"It's called a cloud," Riku said smartly.
"Thanks, now I feel better," Sora said sarcastically. "I mean it, something is shining up there." Kairi decided to interject now as she was watching them.
"Actually, I thought I saw something to for a second," Kairi told Riku, standing from the sand and dusting off her backside.
"Sure Kairi, side with Sora," Riku said raising his sword to Sora. "Are we fighting or looking at cloud formations?" Sora brought his attention back to Riku and readyed his sword. Kairi clapped childeshly and cheered Sora on. Riku lunged and Sora countered, pushing Riku's sword upwards and using his free hand to grab Riku's wrist. Riku wiggled free and brought his sword down, but Sora blocked again and wildly spun around Riku nailing him on the back.
"Yes!" Kairi cried. "Sorry Riku," she threw in.
"Ouch. See, I knew you had more skill then that," Riku said. Sora squared his shoulders.
"What can I say," Sora stated.
"Please, don't get to big headed," Riku said, wiping the sweat from his forehead. Sora watched him intently, he admitted Riku was attractive, but from a friend stand point of course. He found himself countless times thinking about Riku, perhaps a little more than a friend would, but he knew it was just simple friendship. He could not help it. Riku was around 17. He had amazing figure. He had perfectly sculpted muscles with a elegant, soft face that looked that of a model. His eyes were almost his best quality. Aqua-marine eyes, that refelected the sun perfectly and made you not want to stare anywhere else but those eyes. Sora thought Riku's best quality was his hair. Silky silver locks down to his shoulders that was constanly flowing in the wind.
"He can't help Riku," Kairi said. "He deserves it, after all, he is quite better than you." Riku scoffed at that comment. Kairi was pushing it a little too far. Kairi was his best friend, and he kind of considered her as his first love interest. Sora drifted away from Kairi during past events. He did not think he actually had an interest in Riku because that would be wierd, they were friends. But Kairi just did not make him feel that kind of bond any more. Perhaps it would return, perhaps not.
"It's okay Riku. Kairi is just...jealous perhaps," Sora joked. Riku laughed.
"Hey! Please, I could probably take you," Kairi said confidentaly with her hands on her hips. Riku tossed her his sword and Sora rose his.
"Let's see," Sora said seriously. Kairi did not expect him to actually fight her. She dropped the sword and put her hands up.
"Ha! Wow, Kairi, you were right," Riku laughed. Kairi pouted.
"I was just joking Kairi," Sora said smiling. She looked happier now.
"What should we do now?" Riku asked.
"No more swimming. We need to find something else to do today," Kairi said.
"I know! We could climb that giant rock!" Sora said excited at the thought.
"Ah...that sounds like an adventure," Riku said.
"Okay," Kairi agreed.
"Yes, I have always wanted to do that," Sora said. They all walked down the beach to the large rock formation. It went up pretty far.
"This is a bit dangerous though," Kairi said.
"Come on, don't back out now," Riku said.
"I am not backing out! I am just saying if we fell it would be fairly painful," Kairi told him.
"Well, that is why it is fun...so...don't fall," Sora stated, being the first to begin. Riku jumped up and pulled onto a rock. Then Kairi slowly followed.
"You two better not race either. It is dangerous enough," Kairi said.
"That is true. Good thing you are Kairi. If we did not have someone telling us this stuff, me and Riku would be dead by now," Sora said. Riku laughed.
"Probably," Riku agreed.
Meanwhile, a gummi ship was closing in on Destiny Islands. It had been attacked viciously and was losing its balance quickly as it fell to the island.
On board a very paniced duck yelled.
"Goofy! Land in the water!" Donald yelled furiously.
"I can't control it!" Goofy yelled back.
"Ahhhhhh!" Donald screamed as the ship completed three uncomfortable barrel rolls.
"I don't think we are gonna make it," Goofy stated.
"Don't day that!" Donald yelled, glancing out the window. "Hey!"
"What is it?" Goofy asked.
"I think I see Sora! And Riku!" Donald cried.
"Wow! What are the odds of crash landing at our destination?" Goofy asked. "They hope they don't find the door Mickey told us about," Goofy said.
"If they do, we have a long journey ahead of us, again," Donald said.
"Surely they won't just barge in the door, right?" Goofy asked.
"According to the king, it has a way of convincing you to enter," Donald stated. The final engine of the gummi ship exploded and sent them to the surface faster now.
"AHHHHH!" Donald and Goofy both screamed as they fell to the ground.
"Wow, I did not realize how big this thing actually was," Kairi said.
"Poor Kairi," Riku said. "Sora I think she is giving up."
"No I am not," Kairi shouted.
"We are almost there Kairi, don't rush," Sora said.
"What is that?" Riku asked suddenly.
"Huh?" Sora replied. Something was falling out of the air.
"Is that a meteor?" Kairi asked.
"Let's get to the top now!" Riku said. Everyone quickly ascended to finally reach the top. They watched what they believed to be a meteor fall from the sky.
"What in the world. That is unusual," Sora said obviously.
"You think?" Riku asked sarcastically.
"I think that is what me and Kairi were seeing, right Kairi? Kairi?" Sora asked turning around to find she was gone. A solid white door stood in the center of where they were standing. It was cracked open a little.
"What the-" Riku started.
"Tell me Kairi did not go through that," Sora said.
"Sora, you aren't thinking of going in are you?" Riku asked, realizing this would not be wise.
"Well, she had to have had a good reason...or she could be in trouble," Sora paniced. He ran to it, suddenly feeling impulse after impulse telling him he had to go through. He had to. He needed to get in the door. As he stared at the door, something about made him want to go through it so badly. He suddenly forgot why he was going to go through it in the first place. All he thought about was getting through it. Sora grabbed the handle and swung it open, feeling a rush of accomplishment. He was there, at the door. He wanted to go through. He ran inside with Riku right behind him. He ran into the darkness and suddenly, he was alone.
"What happened?" he asked outloud. He suddenly realized what happened. Why had he wanted to go in so bad? How could he be so stupid? Why didn't Riku stop him? Was Kairi even in here?
"Kairi?" Sora yelled. Nothing. He felt his feet touch ground he could not see. It felt so cold in here. "Riku?" No one was answering. He could hear wind, but he could not feel it. Slowly, more noises came through, but even though he heard the noises, nothing could be seen or felt. It was as though a world was being built around him, starting with sound. He heard waves, then rain. He heard the distant sounds of seagulls or maybe some crows. Suddenly, a small portion of light cut through the darkness like and knife, and soon it spread like an infection. It was suddenly white. Everything was white. Sora masked his eyes, from the sudden change.
"Hello?" Sora asked.
"??????????" a man spoke in a language Sora did not even recognize.
"I am Sora," he yelled. The man did not answer. "Are you still there?" Nothing. Suddenly, like paint was falling from the sky, rain of different colors created where he was. The rain colored the ocean, it poured the old, mossy stones that were spread out in the ocean like a building fell apart and sank, including the one he stood upon. The clouds gained their grey color and then masked the sun, allowing little light to come through. The world was now visible. On one of the broken coloumns a foreign language was written upon it. Sora had no idea where he was, but he was alone.
Back on Destiny Island, Donald and Goofy were making there way up the rock formation.
"They went through it didn't they?" Goofy asked.
"How should I know!" Donald snapped. "Oh! The king is going to be angry when he finds out they crossed into another world. Oh who knows what will happen. We are gonna have to get all them out before they start to meddle with stuff that does not concern them."
"The king will be furious. Shouldn't we tell him before going in ourselves?" Goofy asked.
"We don't have time!" Donald said. They both reached the top and saw the door.
"Ready?" Goofy asked.
"Let's go," Donald said, not looking forward to what could happen.
Riku found himself in a crowd of people suddenly. Everyone was cheering and jumping up and down with strange objects in their hands. It was some kind of ball.
"Ahhh! It's him!" A girl yelled.
"Oh! Please sign this!" another one yelled. The man they were freaking out obver was signing things all over the place and chatting. He must be important, Riku thought.
"Here you go," he spoke with confidence with a smile that showed his pearly white teeth that could blind you if the sun hit it just right.
"Oh my! Thank you so much! I love you!" A girl cried.
"Uh...thanks," he said. The guy had blonde hair and had an amazing tan. His outfit was certainly strange. His shorts were different lengths.
"Move it!" a small child yelled at Riku as he pushed through.
"Sorry," Riku said, confused about what was happening. How did no one notice him come from no where.
"Sorry guys but the game is starting," the guy said.
The crowd quickly began to file into the stadium. Riku went as well because walking the opposite direction in this crowd would be impossible. He tried to look for Sora, or even Kairi, but with this many people it was impossible to tell. He found himself being directed into a seat. He hoped he was not supposed to pay for it. Ahead of him was a giant sphere of water maintaining itself in the air.
"Wow!" Riku exclaimed. People were now jumping into the sphere of water. This was worth watching, Riku decided. He may of not known where he was, but at least he was not clashing head on with some giant disaster.
A hymn was ringing in Kairi's ears. A single voice could be heard, even from how far it seemed to be away. She stood up and realized she was standing in some kind of temple. Mist was seeping from the ground. It seemed like a dark place. Who knew what lurked inside.
"Who is there?" a man asked. His voice was quite unique. It gave Kairi the chills. She turned to get a small glimpse of the man. He had insanely long blue hair. Suddenly, a bag was thrown over her head and her hands were being tied. "It would appear we have some kind of thief, perhaps."
"You want us to take her to Mika?" another man asked.
"No. Let us keep this between you and me," the blue-haired man spoke with a sly laugh that scared Kairi. "Bring her to my room."
"Yes, sir."
"We may be able to use this to our advantage."
Donald and Goofy found themselves on a cold mountain. It was snowing endlessly. Mountains upon mountains where ahead of them.
"Oh no," Donald complained.
"This will take a while," Goofy said.
"Hello? Donald yelled.
"Any idea where we could be?" Goofy asked.
"I don't know," Donald said, surveying the area. Something suddenly growled.
"Uh-oh," Goofy stated.
"Ahhhh!" Donald yelled looking behind him. A creaure covered in blue fur, with a long horn on it's head stood well over 8 foot. It had large arms and it had claws on the end of it's hands.
"Why are you here?" it spoke deeply. Donald and Goofy stood close to each other.
"We are looking for the keyblader. Sora. have you seen him?" Donald asked.
"No. I do not know of who you speak. Come. You must speak to the elder if you seek answers to questions. He will help you. If you stay here, you will be killed by fiends." Goofy and Donald looked at each other and followed the creature without question.
Well there you have it!!!! I assume most of you are aware of where they are. If not, you must wait for the next chapter! This is only a small sample of what is to come. Please review. More reviews, more updates. I like this idea, so I hope you do too.
