NOTE: DO NOT, I repeat, DONOT expect this to be the exact same as the Kingdom Hearts game. I know that I may be slaughtered for it, but I alter some events of the original game, so that I can write this story the way I want. The basic premise of the game is there, and I don't alter much, but some is changed, especially in later chapters. I have up through chapter 9 written, it is just a matter of typing it out now. I will update as regularly as possible, but I can't promise it will be exact.
"...Kingdom Hearts, show these idealists...the true power of everlasting darkness!"
As Ansem lay there, battered and beaten, he rose to his knees, reaching for the large door that lay just in front of him.
"No Ansem, you're wrong," I rose to my feet, adrenaline making me do what my body could not have otherwise done. "I know now, without a doubt...Kingdom Hearts, is light!"
As if responding to my cry, the door burst open, a bright light emanating from within.
"Wha...ugh...ahh...," with one last breath, Ansem disappeared into the darkness.
"He's not gone for good..."
"I know," I responded to the voice only I could hear without thinking.
"What are you talking about Sora?" Donald threw me a questioning look, but I had already started running to the door.
"Hurry! We have to shut it!" As I reached the door, I called out for Donald and Goofy. They came following quickly behind, running to the second of the two massive doors. I was left to manage the one on my own. As we were straining to shut the doors, Goofy took a look inside.
"Garwsh!!" letting out his usual yelp of surprise, Goofy took a step back, staring at the contents that the door held within. After a slight pause, he grabbed Donald and me, and showed us what lie inside.
The Heartless were everywhere, numbers rendered immeasurable due to the sheer amount of them. Thousands of eyes were the only things you could see. I stared in wonderment and awe and the magnitude of the sight that lay before me. As I stared, all of the eyes focused toward me.
"AHH!" I collapsed to the ground, the feeling of one thousand needles piercing my heart. Millions of images flew before me, happy times, frightful ones, all the images of those whose hearts had been taken, now pored through my very essence. What were they trying to do? Kill me by overloading my mind? Or simply crying out for help? I could not worry about that now. I slowly rose back to my feet, going back to the door.
"We have to close this door now!" running back behind the door, I began to try to shut it again. I looked back at Donald and Goofy. They were beginning to get their door shut, but mine refused to move. The strain of the battle and the weight of the door were too much for me to bear. I ventured another peek inside. Darksides were beginning to emerge out of the mass of heartless, slow yet powerful these would mean the end of our journey if they reached us.
"Why won't this door move?!" I thought to myself. The adrenaline was starting to leave my body, and I was losing the strength to go on. As I fell to the floor in defeat, a voice spoke to me.
"Don't tell me you're giving up already Sora? I thought you were stronger than that?" I rose to my feet. Could it really be him? I had thought him lost to the darkness. I looked around the door to see if it was true. There he was, plain as day. Riku was now standing before me. "Come on, let's close this door," Riku grabbed onto the edge of the door and began to pull. I gave him one last look, and then went back to pushing. Finally our door began to move.
As the doors grew closer to being shut, a figure leapt out of the millions of Heartless. Due to the powerful light, I couldn't make out any facial features on him. He had large circular ears, and wore what appeared to be a pair of red overalls. The thing that caught my attention was that he was wielding a Key blade.
"Your majesty!" both Goofy and Donald cried out at the same time. I stared now in awe. So this was the famous King Mickey. This was my first time seeing him, and in this light he almost looked angelic.
"Let's seal this door for good Sora!" The king stared over at us.
"What about you?" I exclaimed. We'd searched for so long, why could he not just come with us?
"Do not worry; there will always be a door to the light." The king shifted his gaze from me to those of his servants. "Donald, Goofy, thank you..." As the mighty doors grew to a halt, the king threw his blade back in the air, and Riku told me one last thing.
"Take care of her..."
"I will," I whispered to myself as I nodded. I leapt backwards, raising my own Key blade to the sky. A light shot from the tip.
"Do not worry, trust the King. What he said is true, there shall always be a door to the light." My voice spoke top me once again. As it did so, the door to Kingdom Hearts vanished, revealing a crossroads behind it. The path veered of in numerous directions. I turned around as the sound of crunching sand caught my ears.
There she was. How she had gotten there I did not know, but I wasn't about to question it. She was the reason that my whole journey had begun. The one person I held above all others. Kairi.
As I ran to her, I noticed she was staring at her feet. Around her, a group of sand was forming. Something was puling her away again, but I wasn't going to lose her without letting her know I was there.
"Kairi!" I called out.
"Sora!" she answered back. Reaching her, I grabbed onto her hand.
"Kairi, don't forget me, I'll come back for you one day!"
"I know you will!" as she said this, the sands around her pulled her away, and all I could do was watch her be taken away again. Once again she was gone, but at least this time, I knew she was safe. I turned back to were the door to Kingdom Hearts once stood. As I walked back, I stared ahead to the crossroads."
"The next step lies before you. Only you can choose which path you shall take down the crossroads. However, be brave and never forget: You are the one who will open the door."
