Hello all! I decided to rewrite this story because the plot holes and style bugged me. I hope you don't mind reading it again! There are changes to the story and characters, which will hopefully make it all the more interesting!

Sora found himself in a world he didn't know. He stood on a platform, staring out into a black void. A voice kept sounding in his head, telling him strange things he had never heard of. The voice presented him with tasks that he completed rather quickly. He was then met with another challenge. He came face to face with small, twitchy beings the voice called Heartless. He was told he'd have to fight these beings. But how, he thought. Like magic, Sora gained a sword the voice called the Keyblade. This was his weapon. He quickly did away with the wriggling Heartless and moved on to his next task. The voice now presented him with another Heartless, though this one was one hundred times bigger than the wriggling Heartless he fought. He stared up in amazement at the monster before him. At his feet, he could have sworn he saw the outline of a girl with golden eyes. And then the monster attacked…

The noon sun beat down on peaceful Destiny Island, casting small shadows across the white sand. Sora was lying near the crystal clear water, his shoes and shirt laying a few feet away from him. The sun danced across his body, warming him inside and out. The soft breeze played through his gravity defying spiky brown hair, keeping him cool. His sky blue eyes were closed in a light afternoon nap.

The sound of something washing up on the beach woke Sora from his strange dream, causing him to reluctantly open his eyes to investigate. He looked down the beach and saw a girl lying on her side, her body still half in the water and her hair going in every which direction. Sora bolted upright, shocked.

"What the…?" He stood up and quickly walked over to the girl, hoping she was still alive. He knelt down beside her and rolled her over, moving her hair from her face and neck. She had very fair skin, almost as if she'd never seen the light of day in her life. Her hair was a strange shade of purple, almost resembling the midnight sky on a moonless night. Around her neck was a golden chain, and attached to that chain was a pendant. Sora gasped when he recognized this as the symbol from his dream. How strange that this girl would have a pendant of the Heartless! He thought they were made up, something his imagination conjured due to the heat. Apparently, he thought wrong. He gently patted the side of her face, trying to get some movement from her.

"Hey, are you okay?" He asked in a soft voice. He got nothing out of her, and that's when Sora started to get worried. He started to lift her up, but was stopped when she finally started coughing up sea water. He moved back an inch or two and let her clear her lungs. Once she began to breathe normally and move around, he spoke up.

"Are…are you okay?" he asked again. The girl slowly opened her eyes, shielding them from the intense sun. She turned her head to look at Sora, looking slightly confused. Sora was taken aback by her eyes; a beautiful purple with golden flakes. He'd never seen that color before!

"Wh…where am I?" she asked and tried to sit up. Sora quickly moved to help her. The girl let him, looking all around the island. Sora cleared his throat and carefully let go of her, happy she could sit up on her own.

"Destiny Island…" he said. "Are you…not from here?" he asked, quelling the excitement that had formed inside him. The girl shook her head slowly, looking back at Sora, worry in her beautiful eyes. Sora nervously glanced back to the ocean to see if he could see a boat or anything that she may have fallen off of. He returned his gaze back to the worried girl beside him.

"Do you know where you're from?" he asked, getting another head shake. Sora rubbed his head, not knowing what to do, and not wanting to ask the obvious.

"I'm Toni…" she said in a quiet voice. Sora smiled slightly and held out his hand.

"I'm Sora."

Silence. Sora kept stealing sideways glances at Toni, who seemed to be taking in everything about the island. Once or twice he was sure she caught him, but she didn't say anything. It was only when Toni shifted uncomfortably that Sora decided to speak up.

"So you're from another world?" he asked. Toni chuckled.

"I guess…I mean, I don't remember this place, but I don't remember another place either…" she trailed off. Sora tried so hard to suppress a smile, but it slipped out. He could see Toni's eyebrow raising and couldn't help but start laughing, startling the poor girl.

"I'm sorry!" he exclaimed. "It's just…there's only one other person here from another world." He explained. Toni seemed to understand, but Sora kept going, just in case. "I've been here my whole life and would give anything to see other worlds…" he said in a dreamy kind of voice, his eyes shifting to the endless blue sky, smiling. Toni laughed a little bit and looked to the sky with him, but thoughts of other worlds didn't cross her mind. This world was on her mind. This little island called Destiny Island, and her mission to destroy this beautiful little slice of paradise.

For new readers, I know Toni sounds like a MarySue, but she's not! Trust me! Just keep reading and please review! I greatly value your opinions, thoughts, and comments~
