- Hmm, I wonder if this is a Kingdom Hearts fanfiction cliché? Well, I'm starting to think so, since I've read too many of these to count.

I wanna be a part of the cliché too, so I'll be doing this as well. I chose Disney Movies that weren't mentioned before, and only a couple were brought back. These being the ones that had more than one part to the movie.

(I know Aladdin has three movies, but I'm sick of Agrabah in Kingdom Hearts. Anybody else?) -


Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts. See, that's Square Enix's job, and Disney just takes credit for the world's and character's storylines. While I, the fan, decide I can write too. Ya get it? Got it? GOOD!


|| = Continuing from Kingdom Hearts II Ending & Reconnect: Kingdom Hearts = ||


I wanted to tell you immediately.

There are memories asleep inside you.

Those memory fragments connect to the future.

Sora, Riku, Kairi,

the truth surrounding the Keyblade,

passes through numerous connections,

which are inside your hearts.

Sora,

it all leads to you, and everyone is waiting for you.

The only one who can heal their sadness is you.

It's possible that the travels up until now,

compared to the next trip, may have been easy.

Everything thought to be accidental was really connected,

and the door to a new departure already seems to be opening.

-Mickey


Cerulean eyes, belonging to the Keyblade Master, scanned the crumpled paper that arrived to the island in a bottle. He was speechless, his throat caught. He was rather confused by the situation, wondering how could he possibly be missing memories, and what made his so special that they connected to the future.

Of course, he didn't doubt the King, not for a second. But, he was rather lost on the situation at hand now. He didn't know what he was going out to find, or whom he was saving this time. Whoever they, and or he or she, is, they must be incredibly important if he was throwing away his plans of being with his two best friends again on their island, never to be separated again.

He couldn't just ignore the King's letter asking for his help, however. He would have to do this. If he didn't now, he would end up regretting it later. And he was increasingly curious as to these "sleeping" memories, and who are the people the King mentioned in the letter.

"Well, Sora?" a strong voice, belonging to one of Sora's best friends, Riku, asked calmly. Sora glanced up at him to see his jade eyes lit up like a light, possibly excited for the journey ahead. Sora was confused by his friend's positive attitude towards this situation, but said nothing, merely because he couldn't if he tried.

Sora felt frozen with indecision, and he focused on the sand in front of him. He didn't dare look up at the disappointment in Riku's eyes, afraid of what he might say if he refused, which was growing into a strong possibility for the spiky-haired teenager.

He could hear a soft sigh from the silver-haired boy, and footsteps fading away from where Sora was standing. A scuffle of footsteps were also heard, and a shout.

"Riku, please!" A feminine voice shouted, the owner of the voice being Kairi, Sora's best friend, who he had a deep, passionate care for, holding her dear to his heart. The thought of losing her support as well as Riku's was too unbearable for Sora, so he decided to delete that possibility from his brain.

He felt a delicate, gentle hand rest on his shoulder. Sora tore his eyes from the sand to look up at Kairi, who smiled warmly at him, her hair blowing about in the breeze. Sora mentally scolded himself for appreciating how pretty she is, especially at a time like this.

"Don't worry about Riku. Just take your time on this Sora, ok? No pressure!" she added, looking panicked, probably thinking she left him with the thought of being pressured by Riku's disapproval of his original answer.

Sora wanted to tell her that when somebody says "No Pressure" it always means there's pressure, and people say that so you can make the right decision, but thought better of it. He watched her walk away in the direction of where Riku stormed off to, and sighed, taking a seat on the Paopu Tree he was sitting on before the life-changing decision floated beside Kairi's feet.

He stared ahead at the water, gently lapping against the shore, whisking away seashells he and Kairi used to collect. This was back when the weight of the world didn't weigh down on his shoulders, when he was positive he would be with his friends forever, and when he had no doubts in his friends.

Riku's eagerness to leave Destiny Islands wasn't too easy to accept for Sora, especially after the things he's done in the past. Sora vowed to himself that he would never let Riku fall into the darkness a second time, and he would be stupid to let Riku leave the islands. Then again, it wouldn't be bright to leave him here; Riku was always better at things than Sora, and he knew this too. Riku wouldn't agree with him anyways, and he would go no matter what. Sora was honestly glad he would, but he felt bad that Kairi would be left alone on the islands.

After several moments of silence, aside from the constant yet soothing noises from the ocean, Sora picked up a new sound, getting closer and closer.

"Sora," a voice called out to him from behind, and Sora whipped his head around to see Riku, slowly making his way down the wooden ramp to the Paopu Tree. His hands were stuffed in his baggy jean pockets, his silver bangs covering his eyes, since he grew his hair over the past year. Riku stopped walking, not sitting on the Paopu Tree with Sora, his eyes staring blankly ahead.

"Have you decided?" Those three words, in the form a question, were the ones Sora was dreading. Flashes of memories from his past adventures, and ones he didn't recall, washed over in his brain, overwhelming him. Sora blinked once, and he was met with the familiar scenery he was originally looking at.

He made his decision: yes. He wasn't doing this just for those lost hearts and drifting souls out there; he had his own answers to discover on this journey, now. Like those unfamiliar flashbacks of a white castle, or a girl in a white dress. There were these three teens, one looking like Roxas, Sora's nobody, one a tall brunette, and a blue-haired girl. So many questions, and he had a feeling this was the journey where he would get his answers.

Sora put a light smile on his face as he nodded, gripping the bottle containing Mickey's message, with a renewed sense of confidence and determination. "Yeah." He answered simply, and Riku said nothing. Sora didn't turn to look at his expression, already knowing what it would look like.

Just then, Kairi appeared, walking up from behind Riku, standing beside him, and turned to face Sora, still sitting on the Paopu Tree. "Sora," she said quietly, her eyes meeting with his. She had on the same smile as before, when she was supporting him. It made Sora feel all the more comfortable with this new journey. Like her letter, it may not be so hard after all. Then, realization hit him: she knew he was leaving her here, on this island. She didn't look that upset, yet Sora felt incredibly awkward and guilty.

"K-Kairi!" he stammered, hopping off the tree, landing on his feet, facing her. Kairi's head was hung low, but she quickly brought it back to face him, her eyes proud of Sora's heroic actions, yet saddened to see him go.

"Yeah." She nodded slowly, her voice still strong, as difficult as it was for her. This was the third time in counting that she has seen Sora separate himself from her. This one stung the most; it was his choice. He could've chosen to stay, but she knew that was selfish thinking of her. But...an idea sparked in her mind, and she held back a smile.

Sora chuckled lightly, happy to see her staying strong. He walked closer to her, his eyes never leaving her face.

"There are still people sad out there. And everyone's waiting...I have to put back everything that's connected to me." His mouth was tumbling out an explanation that he didn't even know his brain knew, and he could hear Riku chuckle, as if he read his thoughts.

Kairi heaved a light sigh, followed up by a slight giggle. She stretched out her hand, holding Sora's in her's, and placing a familiar object in his palm. Sora recognized it as her good luck charm, and he gripped it tightly, showing he wouldn't dare lose it.

"Hurry back," she murmured, and Sora barely heard her, but nodded, showing he understood. Kairi then remembered her idea at the last second, and she quickly grabbed Sora's wrist, preventing him from getting ready with Riku, who was indeed going.

Sora gave her a questioning glance, as did Riku, who was a few feet ahead of Sora on the bridge, turning halfway around to face Kairi and Sora. Kairi held her grin, and let go of Sora's wrist, running to catch up with Riku, while Sora was left behind, confused.

Two words escaped Kairi's mouth: "I'm coming." Sora stood there, staring at her in disbelief, jaw dangling, completely flabbergasted. Riku said nothing, but gasped in shock at Kairi's willingness to leave the islands with them, possibly not making it back here.

"Wh-what?" Sora cried, rushing after her, grabbing her hand. He looked incredibly happy, yet his eyes told a different story. He was concerned for her well-being and safety on this trip, and she was putting herself in harm's way just to come along for a journey she didn't need to be on.

"I'm. Going." She enunciated, pulling her wrist back, walking along, not glancing back to see the reactions of her two friends. She could wield a Keyblade, couldn't she? Not as well as Sora and Riku, yes, but still. This time, she would fight, and prove her worth to them. She wasn't just some damsel in distress, and she certainly wouldn't break the promise she made to herself. She promised they would be together, as a team, and she would never be left behind again. This was a promise she intended on keeping, no matter what the stakes are.

Riku followed Kairi, jamming his hands back into his pockets, and Sora rushed ahead of them, blocking their way from leaving. He spread out his hands, making sure they couldn't sneak past him.

"Kairi this is dangerous! You can come, just make sure you stay sa-" Sora's lecture was cut off by Riku, who looked slightly irritated by Sora's concern.

"Sora, she knows this already. Kairi wouldn't have agreed to come if she didn't know the risk she's making. You're completely oblivious if you don't get why she's doing this." Riku barked, his calm voice losing that same calm exterior, replaced with the short-tempered Riku from last year's adventure. Sora flinched at his tone, but silently agreed, and Kairi nodded her thanks to Riku.

"Sora, I care too much for the both of you to let you guys run off saving the worlds without me. Now, let's get a move on!" She chirped, running over to the secret place, where they would discuss their plans for how to leave this time. Sora rushed after Kairi, and Riku did as well, eventually leading to a race between the two boys, while Kairi trailed behind them.

They were incredibly lucky nobody knows they have returned to the islands. If anyone, even one person, knew this, the trio would be swarmed with questions, concerns, and their parents would certainly get overemotional and catch up on their punishments. They also wouldn't believe a story of how darkness was overpowering the worlds and it was Sora's duty to save them, and Riku, who fell into the darkness, and Kairi, one of the Princesses of Heart. No, that wouldn't work out too well...

The trio was rounding past the bubbling waterfall near the secret place, covered by a bush, not a care in the world, not just yet. They would soon discover things that were left in the past, and abandoned into the darkness. Are they prepared for the shock, the gruesome journey, and more importantly, the darkness ahead of them, lingering in the heart of one of those suffering?


- Alright, so that's the prologue! I'm doing a bunch of worlds, of course, and instead of visiting two or three times, its just once, since I have a dozen or more worlds to go to in this. And yes, Kairi is coming along.

I'm aware of almost everybody's beef with Kairi, so let's fix it in here. I got beef with her too -_-"

Any problems with this so far? I hope I'm doing good, and make sure to let me know if you have either a world request or any ideas you want in here. This isn't just my story, it's yours too people!

I finished all my school projects too, so I have tons of free time now after school. I still have clubs on Tuesday-Thursday, though. No big deal, really. Cya! -
