Welcome back to my 'King of Light' story everyone! I'm so happy that so many of you liked the first chapter. I have finally got a name for the new faction I entered into my story, but you got to wait to find out what. Now I have yet to figure out how to introduce Sora as the King of Light. I may have Vanitas tell him, or Maleficent do it instead.
Like always I leave notes and updates on my profile, so check it out.
If you have any questions, comments, concerns, or ideas, leave a comment down below. Now onto the disclaimer.
I do not own Kingdom Hearts or any other work I take inspiration from for my story.

Sora felt something wet on his cheek. He slowly opened his eyes to see a yellow dog, happily waving its tail.
"What a dream…" Sora slowly fell back to the realm of sleep, only to be once again interrupted. The strange dog jumped onto Sora to wake him.
"This isn't a dream!" Sora said after realizing he wasn't in his bed…or even his world. He got up from the ground to see where he was. "Where am I?"
He saw large buildings and lamps. He guessed he was in some kind of town. The dog that woken Sora up suddenly turned and ran off, as if seeing someone important to him. Sora tried to fallow and left the ally he awoke from. He looked around to see very few people out and about. That might have been due to it being so late out.
Sora could not believe he was in another world, but he wished Riku and Kairi was here to see it with him. After all, this has been their long-time dream. He walked around, trying to find anyone he knew, or to find some clue as to find his friends. After some time, Sora decided to inter a store he found. Maybe someone in there had a clue that could help him.
"Hey there, how can I… Aw, it's only a kid." A blond-haired man running the store said in disappointment.
"I'm not a kid! And the name's Sora!" He did NOT like being called a kid. Even though he technically is one.
"Okay, okay, simmer down. So why the long face, Sora? You lost or something?" The man asked.
"No! Well, maybe. Where are we?" Sora asked.
"So, you are a new comer, huh? You must be from that nearby star that just went out not that long ago. Sorry to tell this to you, Sora, but your world is gone. You're now in Traverse Town. Everyone here lost their world and one way or another, came to live here." The man said.
"So, gramps, this really is another world?" Sora asked.
"Don't call me gramps! The name's Cid! Anyway…I can't help you right now but come back later and ill see what I can find on your friends." Cid said.
Sora was a little cheered up at the news and decided to go and search the city as well to find them. He went into the second district because he searched the whole of the first district. As he entered he saw a man running away from something, only for him to trip and fall. He then saw a shining heart shaped light fly out of the mans chest as he was surrounded in darkness.
The heart disappeared into a ball of darkness and a creepy shadow creature popped out. It wasn't like the ones he saw before. This one was a bit taller and wore some armor. It also had a red crest of a heart with thorns on its chest.
The creature disappeared into darkness, just like the man did. Sora ran forwards to find the man, only to be surrounded by shadows.
"WHAT! You guys are back!" Sora shouted while summing his Keyblade. He looked around and counted 20 shadows, all around him.
He summoned the knights from before to help him in the fight. In two flashes of light, he had his backup. He and the knights took off in different directions to take out the shadows. Sora was able to take out two of them quickly but had to block an attack from the third. He dodged a few more swipes from the shadows and then struck fast with his Keyblade to finish of the shadow.
Sora looked over to see how the knights were doing. He saw one of them being overrun and Sora rushed to help him. Only to be intercepted by three more shadows. Sora, thinking quickly, thought back to his fight with the giant shadow and remembered something he could now do. He held out his arm and with a flash of light another Keyblade appeared.
He willed the large Keyblade to shoot forwards at the shadows surrounding the knight. The Keyblade struck true and a few shadows were slain. Sora finished off the shadows blocking him, and with a look around found the enemy slain. The knights that fought with him vanished, and Sora was left alone.
Sora wondered around the second district till he came across the Gizmo Shop. He entered the building, only to come across dozens of shadows. He quickly summoned his Keyblade and the knights. Without a second to waste, Sora charged the enemy. One by one the shadows fell, but there was still too many of them. Sora summoned Wayward Wind to his left hand and quickly slashed at the enemy, taking three in an instant.
Sora heard a sound and turned just in time to see one of the knights fall and vanish into a ball of light. Sora didn't have time to grieve the loss of his companion for a group of shadows jumped at him. But Sora was filled with rage towards the shadows and summoned all four keyblades and with one in each hand and the other two in the air, he decimated the remaining shadows.
After the fight was done, Sora fell to his knees in exhaustion. Apparently summoning all those Keyblades takes a lot of energy. He made a note in his mind to work up his stamina.
Sora had enough of all the fighting in the second district and headed back to the first district but being slow downed by more shadows. Sora discovered that even though he lost one of the knights, a new one came to take it's place. He wondered if he could summon more but decided to save that little experiment for later.
Sora discovered that the shadows had dropped Munny after they were slain so he set off for the store to buy somethings, only to find the shadows have made it to the first district. After a short fight, he made it to the store just fine.
He bought some potions from a store ran by…three ducks, and a chain of protection from Cid. All in all, he was feeling more confident to fight against the shadows. Sora left the store to make for the second district.
"They'll come at you out of nowhere." Came a voice.
"Who are you!" Sora shouted while summoning Kingdom Key.
"And they'll keep on coming at you. As long as you continue to wield the Keyblade. But why? Why would it choose a kid like you?" The person who spoke was a man in his mid-20's with too many belts and a scare across his face. He had raised hos hand to his face as he asked that to himself.
"Hey, what's that supposed to mean?!" Sora yelled. As he readied his Keyblade.
"Never mind. Now, let's see that Keyblade." The unnamed man said.
"What?! There's no way you're getting this!" Sora said back.
"All right, then have it your way." The man pulled out a large blade that looked like it was fused with a gun and got into a fighting stance.
The mans way of fighting was almost lazy. As if he wasn't taking his seriously. Sora dodged the mans first attack and retaliated quickly. But the man surprised Sora when, after a few hits, he struck Sora faster than he could react then shot a fire ball at him.
Sora was taken off guard at the mans speed and apparent magic. But Sora had a few surprises up his sleeve. Sora ran at the man and while they crossed blades, he summoned the knights to assist him.
"WHAT!?" The scared faced man was taken by surprise at the knights presence. He didn't know what or where they came from, but they seemed to serve the kid.
The two knight circled the man and as one was behind his left and the other in front of his right, they struck. They swung their blades in a way that left the man little in ways out. He jumped high to dodge the swords they carried, but this was just what Sora wanted. Sora was high in the air along with the man. That was when the man got another surprise. Sora summoned Wayward Wind in his left hand.
'TWO!?' the man thought loudly to himself. Not expecting the kid to have two Keyblades.
Sora swung both Keyblades and hit the man and delivered a mighty blow to the man. The unknown man hit the ground with a thud and quickly got up.
"You're not a normal Keyblade chosen, are you?" The man asked.
"I don't know what you're talking about, but you are tough. But now I will end this!" Sora yelled while summoning Rainfell, Earth Shaker, and Wayward Wind to float around him.
'You have got to be kidding me! FOUR Keyblades!' The scared faced man was getting tired of all these surprises.
Sora charged with the knights and his Keyblades, but before he could get close enough to strike at the man, he felt his energy give out. He lost consciousness before he hit the ground. The extra Keyblades and knights vanishing into light soon after. The man was stunned at what just transpired.
"Hey, you found it. Nice going, Leon." The person who spoke was a girl dressed up as a ninja. She also wore a green shirt and a yellow scarf.
"Still… It looks like things aren't as bad as we thought it was. We might just stand a chance after all." Leon replied. Confusing the girl.
/
Meanwhile, Goofy and Donald were walking down a dark empty ally.
"Gawrsh, there's nobody here. Sure is spooky!" Goofy said with a slight shiver.
"Aw, phooey. I'm not scared." Donald said confidently. That was of course till he felt a hand tap him on his shoulder. "AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Donald jumped high in the air and landed on the back of Goofy. The two then heard a gentle voice.
"Excuse me. Did the king send you.?" The gentle voice spoke.
Donald and Goofy turned to see who had spoken. The owner of the voice was a woman with brown hair and blue eyes. She wore a pink drees and a large red bow in her hair. Over all, she did not appear threating.
/
"Come on, lazy bum. Wake up." Sora heard a familiar voice speaking to him. He had some trouble waking up but was able to craw his way out of the realm of sleep. He looked up to see who had woken him up. At first he thought she was Kairi, but his vision soon cleared. He did not recognize the strange looking girl in front of him. She looked sort of like…a ninja?
"You okay?" She asked.
"I guess…" Sora mumbled, still not quite awake yet.
"Those creatures that attacked you are after the Keyblade. But it's your heart they really want, because you wield the Keyblade…or more accurately, Keyblades." The girl said.
"Just…wonderful. And who are you exactly?" Sora asked.
"I'm the great ninja Yuffie. I think you might have overdone it, Squall. He still looks kinda out of it." Yuffie said.
Sora looked to see who she was talking to, only to see the man from before standing up from leaning on the wall.
"That's Leon. And it's more like he pushed himself too far." Squa…I mean, Leon said. Sora then saw his Kingdom Key leaning on the same wall as he was.
"The Keyblade…" Sora whispered.
"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 said while walking away all smugly. As if it was her idea.
"It was the only way to conceal your heart from them. But I fear that it wont work for as long as we hope. Still hard to believe what you were able to do back there. What were those knight-like things? And what was up with the extra Keyblades?" Leon asked while picking up and swinging the Keyblade. It soon vanished in a flash of light and reappeared in Sora's hands.
"Okay, first off, I don't know. Second, why don't you start making sense! And thirdly, what's going on here?!" Sora asked/demanded.
/
(There is going to be a little bit of going back and forth here.)
In the room next door, Donald and Goofy were talking to the woman in the pink dress from before.
"Okay, you know there are many other worlds out there besides your castle and this town, right?" The woman asked.
"Yeah." Donald answered.
"But they're supposed to be a secret." Goofy said while covering his mouth.
"They've been secret because they've never been connected. Until now. When the Heartless came, everything changed." The woman explained.
/
Back with Sora and the other two.
"The Heartless?" Sora asked.
"The ones who attached you, you remember?" Yuffie said/asked.
"Those without hearts." Leon specified.
"The darkness in people's hearts…that's what attracts them. And there is darkness within every heart." Leon said.
(You sure about that, Leon?)
"Hey, have you heard of someone named Ansem?" Yuffie asked.
"Of course not you moron." Leon muttered.
/
"Ansem?" Goofy asked.
"He was studding the Heartless. He recorded all of his findings in a very detailed report." The still unnamed woman answered.
"Gawrsh, uh, can we see it?" Goofy asked. The woman shook her head.
"Its pages are scattered everywhere." She clarified.
"Scattered?!" Donald screamed in his hard to understand voice.
"To many worlds." She said.
(And Sora and the other two just to happen to go to the exact worlds where they landed. Out of the thousands and thousands of worlds. Real believable)
"Oh, then maybe the king went to find 'em." Goofy said while Donald nodded.
"Yes, those were my thoughts exactly." The STILL unnamed woman said.
"We've gotta find him quick!" Goofy said.
"WAIT! First, we need that 'key'!" Donald tolled Goofy.
"That's right. The Keyblade." The woman said.
/
"So…this is the key?" Sora asked while holding the Keyblade up high.
"Exactly! Along with the others you apparently have." Yuffie answered.
"The Heartless have great fear of the Keyblade. That's why they'll keep coming after you no matter what." Leon said in his steady voice.
"Well. I didn't ask for this. And what are those knight-like creatures then?" Sora questioned.
"The Keyblade chooses its master, and it choose you. And we were hoping you would know what those things were." Yuffie said.
"So tough luck." Leon said while leaning on a door.
"How did all this happen? I…we just wanted to know where me and Kairi were from. Then there was that storm…. Wait a minute! What happened to my home?! My island!? Riku! Kairi!" Sora shouted while standing up.
"You know what? I really don't know." Leon said.
"What's this about finding where you're from?" Yuffie asked.
"Oh, I was found on the beach after a bad storm as a baby years ago. No one knows where I cam from. Then Kairi showed up after a meteor shower with no memories, so we were hoping to find where we came from." Sora explained.
"Oh, that's cool. OH! I also heard the Keyblade can open any lock. Why don't you see if that's true! I found this chest a while ago and can't get it open, can you give it a try?" Yuffie asked while quickly switching the subject. She had the patience and attention span of a child.
"Okay then…I'll give it a shot." Sora said with a sweat-drop.
Sora turned and approached the chest on a table. He taped the Keyblade on the chest to revel…a Elixir. He briefly wondered what an Elixir was. Suddenly, Leon called out.
"Yuffie, lets go join Aerith. She should be there by now with the other visitors." Leon said while turning for the door, only to be interrupted.
"LEON!" Yuffie shouted while pointing.
They all turned to see what she was pointing at. It was the armored Heartless from before. They found him.
"Yuffie, go!" Leon shouted. She ran for the door while Sora and Leon prepare for battle. Yuffie barged threw the door as fast as she could. Ignoring the sound of someone being squashed in the process.
"Yuffie?!" Aerith shouted in surprise as Yuffie ran by. She ran after the fleeing girl.
Meanwhile, with Sora and Leon.
"Sora, let's go!" Leon shouted as he bashed the heartless threw the window and into the ally beyond. Leon jump out after it with Sora soon fallowing.
While that was happening, Goofy had to pry Donald out of the wall do to Yuffie slamming the door open just as he was walking towards it.
/
Seeing the vast amount of heartless, Leon turned to give Sora some orders.
"Don't bother with the small fry. Find the leader!" With that Leon turned to deal with the heartless behind him.
Sora ran towards a group of heartless and summoned the Knights. He and his two loyal Knights charged throw the new Heartless that Sora decided he'll call…Soldiers. Sora swung his Keyblade with all his might, quickly destroying three Heartless.
These new Heartless were proving to be a much harder foe than the Shadows. Sora was taking some minor damage, but he knew it would soon build up and become a big problem if he doesn't drink a potion soon he was proven right when a Soldier got in a luck shot and Sora was felling weak and could barely stand. Luckily for him, he had a few potions from before still in his pack.
Soon Sora was destroying the Heartless left and right. But Sora knew he could not keep this up for ever. He only had two Knights and a few potions. He would not last unless he found and destroy the leader of the Heartless.
Sora left the ally way and entered the second district but could not find the Heartless boss. He ran into more Soldiers and was once again fighting for his life. He charged and summoned Earth Shaker to his left hand. Sora then pulled of a very powerful spin move with both Keyblades. He decided to check out the third district…after he got rid of the remaining Heartless.
Sora was forced to once again witness the destruction of a Knight. Sora didn't think he could ever handle the loss of one of his trusted protectors. Sor swore he will stop the Heartless once and for all, as a way to honor the death of his Knights.
He was able to make his way to the third district and found it to be quiet…too quiet. Sora slowly entered the square in the middle of the district, only to hear an explosion and screams. Sora looked up to see two falling objects…screaming objects. Worse off, they were heading straight towards him. Sora tried to run but it was to late. The falling people crashed into him.
What came after was Sora being pined under a bipedal duck and dog. The three of them were a bit out of it do to the fall and crash, but they all soon recovered.
Donald and Goofy were soon treated to the sight of what they have been looking for all this time.
"The key!" Goofy and Donald shouted with glee.
But before any more could be said, the ground started to shake. The three looked around, trying to find the source of the rumbling. Soon pillars of stone shot up from the ground, blocking their escape. Then several Soldier Heartless arrived all around the three strangers. Sora saw the dog creature bring out a small shield and the duck a wand of some sort. The three of them charged at the surrounding Heartless.
'So, it appears these two creatures know how to fight. I wonder if the duck could teach me some magic after wards.' Sora thought to him self when he got a brief period of time to catch his breath.
Soon the Soldiers were vanquished, and Sora realized he forgot to summon his Knights. He also felt a dark presence nearby.
'That's new. I didn't know I could sense darkness before.' Sora mused.
He felt the presence from above and looked up to see…giant falling armor. The armor bounced upon impact and suddenly pulled itself together. It landed with a heavy thud and a helmet landed where it belonged soon after. Now it was a giant floating armored Heartless with some very sharp claws. Sora felt a little intimidated with the sheer size of the Heartless.
Sora decided a hit and run tactic would be the wise choice in this situation. He summoned his Knights and together all five of them attacked the giant. Donald was shooting of fire balls, Goofy was bashing it with his shield, and Sora and the Knights were slashing at the Heartless's limbs when they saw a opining.
The giant Heartless was spinning his arms in a deadly tornado like attack and sent them flying back. Sora ran in after recovering to strike at the arms of the beast, hoping to limit its attacks. The armored giant was swinging all his limbs about and giving the defenders of light, very little openings to attack.
The giant then separated into three different parts. The arms were swinging about over by Donald, the feet were stomping about near Goofy, and the body and head were twirling around in a buzz-saw tornado. As if tornados weren't scary enough.
After a few hits from the killer tornado, Sora was running out of heath. He was forced to use his last potion, and he knew they had to end this quickly.
The giant Heartless pulled itself back together.
'This isn't good. My Knights are on their last limb, and the other two are looking tired as well. We can't keep this up. There has to be something I can do! ANYTHING I CAN DO!' Sora thought in desperation.
Sora then felt a light from within himself. He drew on the new light and a flash of light appeared next to him. He turned to see a new creature of light, just like his Knights. This one didn't wear armor and instead wore a white and golden version of Robin-Hood's outfit. It wore it's crest on the side of its hart and in his hand was a golden bow.
"Well that's a surprise." Sora said with his normal goofy smile. "Let's see what you can do!"
The new comer readied it's bow, and as he drew the string back, a arrow of light appeared. It released its arrow towards the beast and struck true. Although it didn't appear to do any damage Sora knew it dealt a blow to the giant. Donald and Goofy looked on in awe at Sora's backup.
Now with some covering fire, they were able to recover and reenter the fight. One by one the arms and legs of the armored Heartless were destroyed. Soon all that was left was the chest and head. But at this point Sora was done dealing with this monster. He brought forth as much light as he could and summoned all his Keyblades.
"WHAT! He has FOUR Keyblades!" Donald shouted in an almost unrecognizable voice.
"Looks like we should have been looking for key's. Don't you think so Donald." Goofy asked but was ignored for what happened next.
Sora ran towards the giant with all four Keyblades. And faster than anyone could see, dished-out powerful blows to the head of the giant Heartless. It proved to be all that was needed for once the last blow landed the beast started to shake and then…stop. The head fell of and a heart flew out and what little of the beast was left vanished in a flash of light.
/
Soon after the boss Heartless was defeated, Sora was having a talk with the two bipedal animals. He also learned their names as well.
"So, you were looking for me?" Sora asked. Donald and Goofy just nodded their heads as an answer.
"They, too, have been seeking the wielder of the…Keyblades." Leon said from behind Sora. Yuffie was also there, but all she did was nod her head.
"Hey, why don't you come with us? We can go to other worlds on our vessel." Goofy suggested.
"I wonder if I could find Riku and Kairi…" Sora said quietly.
"Of course." Donald said. Sora instantly looked happier.
"Are you sure?" Goofy whispered to Donald.
"Who knows? But we need him to come with us to help us find the king." Donald whispered back.
"You know I can still hear you, right?" Sora said with a serious face. Donald gave a nervous laugh. Then Leon stepped up.
"Sora, go with them. Especially if you want to find your friends." Leon said.
"Yeah, I guess." Sora said in a depressed tone.
"But you can't come along looking like that. Understand? No frowning. No sad face. Okay?" Donald asked/said. Ironically with a frown himself.
"Yeah, ya gotta look funny, like us!" Goofy said while getting in Donald's face.
"This boat runs on happy faces." Donald said after shoving Goofy out of his face.
"Happy?" Sora said. He then made a very silly happy face that made Donald and Goofy burst into laughter.
"That's one funny face!" Goofy said while still laughing.
"Okay, why not? I'll go with you guys." Sora said.
"Donald Duck." Donald introduced himself while putting one hand forwards.
"Name's Goofy." Goofy said while doing the same.
"I'm Sora." He said while fallowing the example of the others.
"All for one, one for all." Goofy said while they placed their hands onto of each other.
This was going to be a wild ride.

Finally done with this chapter. Sorry it took so long, but my sister was put into the hospital so there was a delay in my writing.
Namine, Roxas, and Xion will be in the story, but I won't spoil their roles in the story though. After the extraction of the darkness in Ven, Xehanort learned that a heart can't live when broken. No duh. He found another way to create the unversed. Donald and Goofy will only treat Sora as a king during very serious moments or when they are joking. And as for the master of masters, I can't say much about him due to how little we know about him.
Tell me what you thought about my story and don't forget to ask questions. Till next time my wonderful readers.
LONG LIVE THE KNIG!
