Hey, hello, welcome to my newest story. I just came up with this out of no where. Just a strange little idea where Lea and Isa are teenagers during KH1 and make friends with Sora...plus more :)
I hope you enjoy.
Sora had just been awoken by a dog, and found himself to be in an unfamiliar alleyway. He looked around the alleyway for a bit. From first glances he couldn't tell where he was. The dog soon took off running, but Sora followed right behind him, hoping maybe the dog could lead him to some answer. But as soon as he exited the alleyway he found himself in a very unfamiliar place. Looking around he saw he was in a quiet-looking town that was lit by streetlights.
After taking in the fact that he was in another world, he turned around and noticed that there was a shop behind him. He opened the doors and saw an older looking man, with short blond hair, standing behind the counter.
"Hey there, how can I..." He started before looking at Sora, "Aw, it's only a kid."
"I'm not a kid! And the name's Sora!" Sora retorted.
"Okay, okay, simmer down. So why the long face, Sora? You lost are something'?" The man asked.
"No...Well maybe. Where are we?" Sora asked.
Cid gave Sora a look at Sora, wondering exactly what he was talking about, but then Sora quickly explained what had happened to his world. In exchange Cid told him that he was in a place called Traverse Town.
"Traverse Town…" Sora said as he thought it over. "So, gramps, is this really another world?" Sora asked, wanting to confirm it.
The man grumbled. "Don't call me gramps! The name's Cid." But before Cid could continue, the door opened up. Both Cid and Sora turned to look at who had just entered. It was two young boys, who looked like a year or two older than Sora.
One of them had bluish-green eyes and red hair that was spiked upward. He wore a sleeveless white shirt, with a sleeveless orange jacket over it, baggy tan pants that ended just a bit above his ankles, black socks, and red and white sneakers. He also had a yellow and brown scarf around his neck.
The boy standing next him had more marine-colored eyes, and blue hair spiked upward. Though his hair was not as spiky as the redhead and it also reached a little past his jaw in the back. He wore a black shirt with a navy blue jacket over it. The jacket had light blue stripes on the sides of his arms, the collar was also the same light blue as well as the ends of the sleeves, and bottom of the jacket. The sleeves of the jacket ended just at his elbows. There was also yellow crescent moon on the left side of his jacket. He also wore white pants and black shoes.
Cid turned to look at the two boys who had just walked in, "What are you guys up to today?"
The redhead shrugged, "We just came by to see if we could help out with anything."
"Well…" Cid thought for a moment then looked back at Sora, "I don't know what exactly you're talkin' about, but this ain't your island."
Sora sighed, "Hmm…. Guess I better start looking for Riku and Kairi."
"Well if you need help looking around, why don't you ask those two to help." Cid gestured to the two boys standing in the doorway.
"Sure, we'll be glad to help out." The redhead said cheerfully.
"I guess so." The blue-haired boy said, speaking in a calm and quiet voice.
"Alright thanks." Sora said to Cid before starting to walk towards the door.
"Well, good luck." Cid said, "If you run into trouble, you can come to me."
Sora nodded before walking out the door with the two boys. The redhead looked at Sora, "So first let's start with introductions. My name's Lea. Got it memorized?" Lea said as he pointed to his forehead. Sora could hear a small sigh from the blue-haired guy.
"Uh, hi. I'm Sora." Sora said.
"I'm Isa." The blue-haired boy said as he gave a small wave.
"So we've never seen you before. Where are you from?" Lea asked.
"I'm from another world," Sora explained. "I was on my island then one night this terrible storm showed up. It's kinda hard to remember. I just know I got separated from my friends, I have to find them."
"Well we're friends now," Lea said as he put a hand on Sora's shoulder, "We'll help you look for your friends, right Isa?"
"Sure, it gives us something interesting to do." Isa commented.
They started walking up the stairs next to the Accessory Shop. "So, who are these other friends of your?" Lea asked.
"Well there's Riku and Kairi. They have been my friends for as long as I can remember. I hope their okay…"
"Don't worry, we'll find them." Lea said with a smile.
They walked until they reached a large door, "This door leads into the Second District." Lea commented.
"Second District?" Sora asked.
"There are three Districts here," Isa started to explain, "Right now we are in the First District, then beyond this door is the second. There is a smaller door in the second that leads onto the third."
"Don't worry, will show you around." Lea said as they opened the door and walked through.
But as soon they walked through they saw a man stumble in front of them. He fell to the ground and a glowing heart flowed out from his chest and floated over to a black orb of darkness. As soon as the heart touched the darkness, it disappeared and a strange little creature appeared. It had yellow glowing eyes and armor on its body. It did a little somersault before disappearing, The three boys let out a gasp as Sora ran towards the place where the man's body once was, there was nothing there now. But a second later little creatures with big yellow eyes appeared around him.
"It's those creatures that attack my island!" Sora shouted as a glowing light appeared in his hand. They same key-like object that he had used to defeat the creatures back on his island. He started to attack the little shadowy creatures.
Isa grabbed Lea's arm as they took a step back and whispered, "Lea, look at that weapon he's holding."
"Yeah? What about it?" Lea whispered back.
"I think it's the Keyblade. Remember what Leon said? It's a key-like object that can actually destroy the Heartless." Isa said.
Lea looked at Sora swinging the Keyblade at the Heartless. "Huh, I guess you're right."
"We should inform Leon about this." Isa said.
"But would Sora want to come with us? He still wants to probably look around." Lea said.
"He has the keyblade, he should be fine." Isa said.
Sora just had finished taking out the remaining Heartless. He then turned around and looked at Isa and Lea, "You guys alright?"
Lea and Isa nodded and then Isa spoke, "Thanks for taking them out. Though Lea and I have to go back and ask Cid something. You go on without us, we can meet up later."
"Oh, okay. See you guys later then" Sora said with a smile as he turned around and continued walking through the Second District.
Lea turned and looked at Isa, "Why did you lie to him? Lea asked.
"Because," Isa started, "If we just told him that we have friends that have been looking for him because he has the Keyblade, I doubt he would really believe us. Now let's go talk to Leon." Isa said as he started walking.
"Alright." Lea sighed as she ran to catch up with Isa.
They walked down into the lower section of the Second District and walked through the door next to the fountain, which lead into the back alleyway. There they saw a man with long brown hair, known as Leon.
Leon walked towards them, "Isa. Lea. What is it?" He asked.
"We just met this kid, and he had the Keyblade." Lea explained.
"Where is he now?" Leon asked in a serious tone.
"He's exploring the Districts right now." Isa said.
"You two go wait back in the hotel room with Yuffie. I'll go and get him." Leon said as he walked away, leaving the two boys alone in the alleyway.
Lea sighed, "He's always too serious."
Isa just shrugged, "Let's just go meet up with Yuffie."
They walked out of the alleyway and headed up to the hotel. They entered into the hotel hallways and then walked into the green room. Inside the room there was a table with two chairs and a bed. Sitting on the bed was Yuffie, a girl with short black hair, sitting on the bed.
"Hey guys, what's up?" She asked cheerfully.
"We just met this kid who was using the Keyblade. We told Leon, and now he's going to find him." Lea said.
"Oh that sounds interesting." Yuffie said as she stood up. "I should go check on him, to make sure he doesn't over do it or anything. You guys wait here." Yuffie then walked out the door.
Lea sighed and fell back onto the bed, "It feels like we never get to do anything."
Isa sat down in one of the chairs at the tablet, "They just want us to be save."
"Yeah but I am so bored that we hardly get to help out with stuff. I wanna help fight the Heartless."
"Like you could actually fight off the Heartless. I bet you couldn't even fight one." Isa commented with a hint of sarcasm.
"Hey come on." Lea groaned, "Aren't you supposed to be supporting me? Some friend you are." Lea said as he closed his eyes, Isa smiled and chuckled a little.
Several minutes later the door opened and Yuffie walked in, followed by Leon, who was carrying an unconsious Sora over his shoulder and the Keyblade in his other hand. Lea opened his eyes and jumped up, "Whoa what happened?"
"He over did it." Yuffie said as she pointed at Leon.
"He wasn't willing to let me see the Keyblade." Leon said.
"You probably weren't being nice about it." Lea said as he crossed his arms.
Leon sighed and placed Sora on the bed and put the Keyblade against the wall. "He should be awake soon."
"So he really is the one?" Lea asked, "He looks just a year or so younger than me."
Leon shrugged, "The Keyblade chose him. That's all there really is to it."
Lea went and sat in the other chair at the tablet while everyone waiting in silence until Sora woke up. A minute later Sora groaned and started to open his eyes, Yuffie walked over to him and stood in front of him, "Come on, lazy bum. Wake up."
Sora shook his head and sat up and looked at Yuffie. "You okay?" She asked.
"I guess…" Sora said, still sounding a little out of it.
"Those creatures that attacked you are after the Keyblade. But it's your heart they really want, because you wield the Keyblade."
"I'm so glad that you're okay Kairi." Sora said ignoring Yuffie's comment.
"Kairi? Who are you talking about? I'm the great ninja Yuffie." Yuffie said with great pride.
"Huh?" Sora asked, blinking a few times as he started at Yuffie.
Yuffie turned and looked at Leon, who was leaning against the door that lead into the next hotel room. "You really must have overdone it Squall."
"That's Leon." Leon said with a heavy sigh. Multiple times he had to correct Yuffie to stop calling him by that name.
Sora looked at Leon then noticed Isa and Lea sitting at the tablet, Lea gave him a friendly wave. Sora's eyes then drifted to where the Keyblade rested against the wall. "The Keyblade…"
"Yeah, we had to get it away from you to shake off those creatures. It turns out that's how they were tracking you." Yuffie explained.
Leon crossed his arms, "It was the only way to conceal your heart from them. But it won't work for long."
Sora still sat on the bed, but started at the floor. Leon then continued, "Still hard to believe that you of all the people are the chosen one." Leon picked up the Keyblade and held out his arm. The Keyblade flashed out of his hand and flashed into Sora's. Sora started at it with surprised.
"That's still pretty cool though that you can wield that thing." Lea said.
"Why don't you all start making sense! What's going on here?" Sora nearly shouted.
"Well…" Yuffie said, trying to think how to start it off, "There are actually many other other worlds out there. But we never really knew about all those world's because they weren't ever connected.
"Until now." Leon said, "The Heartless...they are the cause of it."
"The Heartless?" Sora asked as Yuffie sat down on the bed next to him.
"Those little shadowy creatures, " Lea said, "They showed up and tried to attack you back in the Second District, remember?"
"Heartless….Those without hearts." Leon said.
"The darkness in people's hearts, that's what attracts them." Yuffie added.
"And there is darkness within every heart." Leon said quietly.
Yuffie then looked over at Sora, "Hey, have you heard of someone named Ansem?"
"Ansem?" Sora asked as he thought about it, but he quickly shook his head, "No. Haven't heard of him."
"He studied the Heartless. He had recording all of his findings in a detailed report. But we haven't been able to find the report." Leon said.
"Why not?" Sora asked.
"The pages have been scattered everywhere. Over many different worlds. This is where the 'key' comes in." Leon said.
Sora summoned the Keyblade again, "So this is the key?" Sora held up the Keyblade.
Yuffie nodded, "Exactly."
"The Heartless have fear of the Keyblade." Leon stated.
"Creatures of darkness have a fear of a giant key, makes sense." Lea joked as he whispered to Isa.
"Because of that, that's why they'll keep coming after you no matter what." Leon finished.
"Well I didn't ask for this." Sora said.
"The Keyblade chooses its master. And it chose you." Yuffie said.
"So tough luck." Leon grumbled.
"That's still pretty cool though, to be chosen by the Keyblade." Lea said.
"How did all this happen? I remember being in my room…" Sora trailed off, but then suddenly gasped and stood up. "Wait a minute! What happened to my home! My island? Riku! Kairi!" Sora said with sadness in his voice as he looked down at the floor.
Lea frowned, "That must mean he didn't find his friends yet. Poor guy." Lea thought.
"Hey, cheer up! I've heard that the Keyblade can open all sorts of locks. Give it a try next time you find a treasure chest or door lock." Yuffie suggested.
"I think there is a lock somewhere in the Third District. We should go check it out. I wanna see if that Keyblade can unlock it." Lea said optimistically.
"Sooner or later, the Heartless will find you. You'd best prepare yourself." Leon said, remaining serious.
"Prepare myself?" Sora asked.
"To fight for your life. Are you ready?" Leon asked.
"I'm ready!" Sora said.
"Yuffie, Lea, Isa, let's go join Aerith. She should be there now with the other visitors." Leon said as he started to turn around to open the door.
"Leon!" Yuffie shouted as she pointed to the corner of the room, where a Soldier Heartless appeared. Leon ran in front of Yuffie. "Yuffie, go!" He shouted then looked at Lea and Isa, "You guys too. Follow Yuffie now!"
Isa and Lea stood up, "But…" Lea started to say, but he was pulled away by Isa into the next room. They saw Yuffie and Aerith exiting the hotel room so they quickly followed behind. Heartless started appeared all over the place, so they continued running. All four of them ran all the way back to the First District, where there was no sign of any Heartless. They ran all the way down until they were in front of Cid's shop.
They took a moment to catch their breath before Yuffie spoke up, "You guys all okay?"
Everyone nodded and then Lea spoke, "Do you think Leon and Sora are going to be alright?"
Yuffie smile, "Leon will be fine, and Sora has the Keyblade. So we shouldn't have to worry too much."
Moments later Leon came running over to them, "Good. You guys are all alright." He said.
"Where's Sora?" Lea asked.
"I told him to try and find the leader of the Heartless." Leon said.
"How will we know when he does?" Lea asked.
"Yuffie and I will go and check on him. The rest of you stay here." Leon said.
"But I want to help." Lea grumbled.
"There are a lot of Heartless in the other Districts right now, it's too dangerous." Leon stated. "Just wait here with Aerith."
"Lea just forget about it." Isa said to him.
Lea sighed and sat down on the ground, "Fine."
"Yuffie, let's go." Leon said as he started walking back towards the Second District.
Yuffie nodded and followed, "Right."
After the two left Aerith kneeled down and placed a hand on Lea's back, "I know you want to help out, but Leon is just doing what he thinks is best. He wants all of us to be safe."
"I know...But I should at least be able to help fight the Heartless. I wanna do something helpful." Lea sighed.
Moments later they could hear sounds of loud metal clanking. Lea stood up, "It sounds like it might be coming from the Third District."
"That must be where Sora is. He must have found the leader Heartless." Isa said.
"Man, that must be so cool to be fighting something like that." Lea said excitedly.
"It could be, but it's also probably pretty dangerous." Isa stated.
After a minute they heard a loud clunk sound and saw a large glowing heart float up into the sky. "Sora must have defeated it! Awesome!" Lea said.
A minute or so later the door connecting the Third and First Districts opened up and Sora, Leon, Yuffie and two others walked through. One looked similar to a duck while the other was a tall looking dog. Leon motioned for Aerith, Isa and Lea to come over, he then turned his attention back to Sora.
"Make sure you're prepared for the journey ahead of you. We don't know how far the Heartless have spread." Leon said.
"Wait, Sora's leaving?" Lea asked.
"Yes." Leon said, "Since he wields the Keyblade, he is going with these two to go to other worlds and take care of the Heartless problem."
"Oh don't forget to check out the shops here." Yuffie added, "They've got some pretty neat stuff."
"And this is from all of us." Aerith said as she handed Sora a pouch full of munny. "Spend it as you see fit. And this is from Leon." At the mention of his name Leon looked away as Aerith handed Sora an Elixir.
"Good luck." Yuffie cheered.
"Have fun seeing all those other worlds. You're pretty lucky." Lea said with a smile.
"Thank you guys." Sora said as he turned around to talk to Donald and Goofy.
After Sora finished talking to them he turned around and walked up to Lea and Isa. "Well I guess I'll be going soon. It was great meeting you guys."
"You'll be back though right? You're not just going to go and leave us." Lea said.
"Of course I'll be back, " Sora smiled.
"Yeah cause we're friends now, don't go forgetting us, get it memorized." Lea said as he pointed to his forehead again, causing Isa to sigh again.
"Yeah I got it memorized." Sora said as he mimicked Lea's gesture, which caused Isa to laugh.
"I guess I should get going now. See you guys soon." Sora said as he turned around and walked towards Donald and Goofy. They then headed to the large door at the front of the District, and exited through it. Though Sora still didn't know where Riku and Kairi were, he was glad to have made new friends.
