Synopsis: After defeating Organization XIII, Sora, Riku and Kairi all return home. But after being home, not everything is as is seems when Sora disappears and truths are revealed, including one that could destroy all of Kingdom Hearts and it's inhabitants.

Chapter 1: The Nightmare

Falling..Falling down, down into the Darkness. The black hole of oblivion where hearts of deprived of light. Where all hope is lost to the darkness. An endless vortex where the true nature of the fickle heart lies in waiting, watching, ready to suffocate its prey back to the darkness wince it came.

All hearts are tied to the darkness

A sudden warm light begins to peak through the darkness. Growing like the sun as it rises at dawn. In the light, a blonde haired girl wearing a white dress stares out with warm blue eyes.

"It may of started as a lie but I am really glad I met you Sora."

"Don't worry. You'll forget me. We have our promise so I can come back to you"

Forgotten, but not lost.

The next scene is of a redhead on a dock gazing into the distance, the sea stretched out before her, crashing gently against the dock below. "I can't wait, once we set sail, it will be great!"

It shifts to a silver haired boy staring out strangely at the scene before him. "I'm not afraid of the darkness." He stretches out his hands as dark snakes coil around his body. The snakes start to coil around the two bodies.

And then, falling, falling into a vortex of darkness, echoed with the voices of the past.

"I'll find you again after when I wake up. And when I do find you, we can be friends for real. Promise me Namine."

"No, he can't be, I won't let him go"

"This world has been connected. Tied to the darkness, soon to be completely eclipsed."

"It's no use that girl has lost her heart, she cannot wake up."

"A lie, all a lie. Sora "

"A promise is a promise."

"One day it'll be our light, the light that brings us together. I'll be in your heart till that time comes"

"It's my lucky charm so make sure you bring it back to me."

"I'm not in your heart. I am in nobody's heart."

"This time, I'll protect you!"

"In my head I know they are lies, but they still feel right."

"This is real"

"Sora"

"Just because you have forgotten something, doesn't mean that it is lost."

"Don't forget wherever you go, I'm always with you."

"Sora you have to chose, you can chose to lose your memories of this castle and reclaim your old memories, or keep your memories here and give up the memories that you lost."

"You think it will ever be the same between us?"

"No matter how far the light is, your voice will reach."

" I want my old memories."

"She is your light, the light within the darkness"

"A light at the end of the tunnel"

"But your not fake, you're real"

"Promise?"

"Who needs false memories right? Especially when you have real memories"

"Thank you"

"Forgotten but not lost."

"Don't be afraid for you hold the mightiest weapon of all."

"You are the one who will open the door."

Sora woke up with a start. His head was pounding and sweat was dripping down from his face. "What a nightmare," he thought as he sat up. Sora shook his head and sighed, but could not shake the feeling. "It felt so real. Some of those, are real memories. What if that girl, with the blonde hair, was a memory? It looked like Namine." Of course Sora knew it was possible that Namine did have something to do with his dream. She seemed too familiar when they had met last, right when they were trying to escape with the group after crumbling Organization 13. And then it hit him.

Namine, Organization 13, Castle Oblivion, the false memories, the choice, it all came back to him. Namine and him had met before in the castle, and lured him by creating false memories of the two of them as best friends. In the end, Sora, Donald and Goofy were able to free Namine from the blackmail, and have their old memories restored. Yet he was not supposed to remember. But it was just like Namine said, once you remember one memory in the darkest reaches of the heart, you can remember the rest of them. Yet one thing that bothered Sora besides remembering Namine, was the darkness in his dream. It must be that the darkness was growing once again.

"Why now?" Sora thought.

A voice interrupted Sora's thoughts. "Sora, your breakfast is ready! And make sure you are up and dressed, Kairi is coming over soon."

With that Sora lept out of bed and threw on the usual black pants, shirt and vest. He smiled as he passed the keyblade, that rested at the foot of his bed.

"So long as I have the keyblade, I can protect everyone"

Sora ran out of his room quickly and down the staircase.

"Good morning sweetie," his mom greeted with a smile. "How did you sleep?"

"Good morning mum and well, thank you!" He said, grinning back while grabbing a piece of toast.

Just then a knock came at the door.

"Just in time," Sora thought as he ran to get the door.

He opened the door and found Kairi standing there smiling in her pink dress, her red hair blowing in the wind.

"Hi Sora, How are you?" said Kairi, "No time come with me." And with that Kairi grabbed Sora and dragged him out. "I will bring him back later," she called back to Sora's mom.

" Kairi, wait up where are we going?" Sora asked gruffly, a little confused about Kairi's sudden rushed attitude.

"To the secret spot, there is something I need to talk to you about. Come on silly, I will race ya," Kairi flashed a grin.

"It's so on!" Sora replied as he picked up the speed, through the narrow corridors of their secret spot. Suddenly Sora stopped as a memory flashed in his head.

"Kairi"

"Sora"

The door opened, a great gust of wind, and she was gone"

Sora shook off the memory.

" I win! What is it?" Kairi asked curiously noticing that Sora had suddenly halted.

"Just remembering, so what did you want to talk about?" Sora asked.

"It's just, this can't get back to Riku but I had a dream last night. And it really bothered me and usually I can brush it off. It was just that the nature of the dream was so dark and vivid, and real, like a memory. It was a place by the sea, there was a lighthouse, and dark clouds, and a cliff. And standing right at the edge of the cliff, was an old lady and she had a baby in her arms. She was singing to it, telling it that it was going to be alright. It looked as if she was going to make the motion to throw the baby off the cliff, but then a man appeared in a cloak. It sounded almost like Ansem. And he told the woman to keep the baby, that the destiny of the child is not set in stone. He said that the child still has a hopeful future. That child has the power to either create or destroy, just like there is both darkness and light. And then it ended. It's just I have never had a dream this vivid before. It felt so real." Kairi sighed as put her head in her hands in obvious distress.

Sora hugged Kairi in comfort, "I am sure it will be alright. It's just a dream, nothing more." Yeah, easier said than done Sora, like you are one to talk."

"It's not only that though, have you felt something with your Nobody lately? It seems as if Namine has been shifting uneasily lately. I think something bad is about to happen," Kairi said sadly.

Sora thought for a moment, "Come to think of it, I really have not felt Roxas in awhile. I think hes been sleeping or something. But whatever happens Kairi, I am sure everything will be okay. I promise"

"That's good. And Sora, thank you. One more thing," Kairi shifted nervously,"You know, I have been thinking about how we have been though so much, and I have felt that..."

"Oh there you two are, I was wondering if I would find you two hiding here." came the sulky voice of Riku.

"Oh Hi Riku, " Kairi grinned, as she got up, and walked over to she kiss him on the cheek. After their last adventure, the two became an item, which also had not put Sora in a good place.

"Thanks Riku, way to steal the moment. I wonder what Kairi had to tell me.

"Hey Sora, wait here. Kairi, Can I talk to you for a moment, alone?" Riku asked.

"Isn't that kind of rude Riku," Kairi said with a laugh."Oh alright, I give in. Sora we'll be back."

"Okay, don't hurry back." Sora answered with a hint of sarcasm. As the two left, Sora could not help but feel a little relieved. "Something still doesn't feel right. I feel like there is something behind me watching my every move. I felt it when Kairi and I entered the cave. I better summon the keyblade just in case."

It didn't take long for the keyblade to reach his hands, but before Sora could lift the keyblade in defense, he felt something large hit the back of his head, his vision swam for a moment and he met with the darkness.

Back at Disney Castle, King Mickey was at his desk signing deeds to rebuild some of the castle. All of the damage done by the Nobodies and Heartless had to be repaired. Sighing, Mickey got up and stretched, as he stretched his vision caught site of a photo on his desk. It was taken on Sora's Island, right after everyone had returned home. Kairi and Riku were kneeling in front of the dock, while Sora was standing up with Mickey, Donald and Goofy surrounding him. The Mouse King could not help but smile. So many wonderful things had happened, and yet he knew it was not over yet. Sighing the King knew there was much work to be done still, and he could not stop the tears from falling from his dark eyes as he whispered, "Sora, I am so sorry. I think it is time I told you everything."
