Chapter II
2nd to None!
"Where...am I?" The darkness surrounding me echoed with my every word
"KAIRI, RIKU WHERE ARE YOU?" No answer I took a step forward, the darkness exploded with light underneath me. The Stained Glass that was symbolic of the Station of Awakening reveiled itself under my feet
"WHY!" The demand echoed painfully, a figure wearing a black cloak stepped out of a cloud of darkness and raised the Keyblade Oblivion pointing it straight at me "YOU WILL PAY FOR YOUR BETRAYAL!"
As the figure stepped toward me the Keyblade Oathkeeper appeared out of nowhere and speared the figure through his chest his hood fell revealing Roxas my own Nobody.
I reached out a hand toward him he looked at me and roared "THUNDAGUN!" A stream of electricity surged through his keyblade and passed harmlessly through me. I looked into Roxas' eyes.
They were glowing acid yellow he yelled again, "AAAAAAAUUGGHH!" and faded into the oblivion all Nobodies meet when they die.
"Sora." I whirled around spotting Kairi standing in a pool of light which turned black, tendrils of Darkness creeped up and wrapped around her pulling her down into the pool, I felt my heart freeze, "KAIRI!"
I raced forward groping for her hand but she was gone, "Take care of her." said a voice.
I looked up and saw Riku behind a huge white Door.
The Door closed then flashed and disappeared I fell to my knees tears streaming down my face "I can't do this any longer my heart can't take so much pain."
I felt a warm breeze blow over my body and The Kingdom Key appeared floating in front of my face.
An angelic voice said "You have endured much over the course of these past few years, but you must embark on one more journey or this world may not survive."
I looked up at the Keyblade, I felt...compelled to grip the handle, so I did just that. As my hand closed on the warm blue leather I felt a tingling feeling in my left hand then a second Kingdom Key appeared.
The voice said "This is my gift to you so that you may complete your task, Remember you are The Keyblade Master you alone hold the power to save me."
I asked "Who are you?" the voice chuckled in amusement, then the voice responded "I am Kingdom Hearts."
"Sora...SORA!" I opened my eyes Riku and Kairi were standing beside me both looked worried out of their minds
"What happened?" asked Riku.
I shook my head to clear it then Kairi asked "Did you see something or did you have a bad dream?"
Riku looked me up and down and said "You changed over night I know it."
Kairi gave him a concerned-for-your-sanity look and asked "What do you mean."
Riku drew The Way To Dawn and said "Outside now Sora I want to test your strength again." I gave him bewildered look and got up. Once we had walked outside Riku started to cast a Firaga Spell I countered by casting Wataragun, To my utter surprise, i realised I had countered him almost twenty seconds before he had even begun to gather his magic!
The stream of water blasted him back into the club house soaking him and Kairi who screeched at the touch of the cold water.
I braced myself, for I knew just how dangerous the situation had become by soaking Kairi. After a few seconds I felt some kind of twinge on the edge of my mind, then I cast a Reflegun Spell out of instinct which was stricken by a super-charged Thundagun Spell followed closely by Kairi who had every sign of a person hell-bent on murder.
Riku came out after her and grabbed her hand and said "I want to test him something about him has changed you saw how fast he reacted to my Firaga Spell."
Kairi nodded slowly and stepped off to the side holding the Keyblade Riku had given her.
Riku stepped forward soaked to the bone but unharmed
"Alright Sora give it all you got!" I nodded and drew the Kingdom Key then hesitated and asked "What about our Trip?"
"After our fight." he said then I assumed a defensive stance.
Riku rushed me but I rolled sideways and knocked his Keyblade up into the air, He caught it and made a stab for my right hand, I executed a Dodge Roll to the left and cast Blizagun freezing his sword-arm solid.
He pulled a Hi-Potion out of his pocket and chugged it which removed my Freeze Spell then he did a backflip.
I felt once again that small twinge and out of instinct whiplashed my left hand summoning another Kingdom Key.
Riku's jaw dropped and Kairi jumped up from her seat and yelled "YOU CAN DUAL-WIELD?"
Riku dismissed his weapon in a shower of purple sparks "I knew something about you changed during the night, Your power level shifted I felt it."
I looked the new Keyblade up and down in excitement "I had a really strange dream last night."
I told them about the dream the whole time Kairi was wide-eyed.
When I finished Riku said "I knew something was wrong I just couldn't put my finger on it." he sighed "So Kingdom Hearts spoke to you and granted you the Sync-Blade Ability."
Kairi then spoke up "Maybe we had better tell King Mickey about this?" Riku nodded and said "Pack up what you can we meet at the old cave where my Gummi Ship is parked at 3:00p.m got it?" "Yup." I said.
The three of us docked on the south shore and made our way to our houses to pack.
That would be the easy part the hard part would be explaining why we had to leave to our parents.
Not to mention hiding from that mob still looking to hang me for that stupid cleaning machine that exploded turning the park into Destiny Islands' first Landfill.
I turned on Copland Ave. to my house. I smiled as it came into view, 3 stories with a tan stucco look and of course a Tree-house in the backyard, but anyway I made my way to the back where my Dad was digging to put in a new water line for a Fountain. He looked up and said "Been out at Midnight Hill for a Camp-out?"
I nodded half-heartedly and Said "Dad can you and Mom meet me in the Kitchen we need to talk." he looked up again alarmed "What happened did you and Kairi do something stupid?"
I jumped back as he made a grab for my shirt "NO!" I yelled.
He jumped out of the hole and yelled "KATHLEEN GET OUT HERE IT'S SORA!"
After a few seconds my Mom came out looking as if the front half of the house had collapsed.
After I managed to calm them down I told them about my dream. When I had finished I noticed the crestfallen expressions they were sporting.
I sighed and said "I am not sure what is going to happen but I know if I don't go then somthing terrible may happen, I am responsible as The Keyblade Master for the well being of the Worlds."
My Mom looked absolutely devastated but Dad nodded solemnly and said "It's all happening so fast we only just got you back last year, now you have to go again." he sighed "Just promise me that you will take care of yourself, and if Kairi is going with you watch over her, your mother and I both know how you feel about her."
I blushed furiously, my Mom giggled and tickled my chin I batted her hand away and said "I need to pack some things would you help me?" my Mom nodded and said "We have never seen this so-called Keyblade would you mind showing it to us?"
I nodded made a fist and "Drew" the Keyblade out of thin, air Dad looked impressed and held out his hand "May I?"
I nodded and handed it to him.
He swung it once and it dissapeared and reappeared in my own hand, exactly as it did when Jack Sparrow stated "I want that nifty Keyblade o' Sora's."
Dad asked me about how the Keyblade works and how I came to be it's wielder.
When we had finished Mom took me inside and brought my backpack down with my collection of various items from my journeys, particularly all of my keychains, and what remained of my potions and ethers.
3:00 rolled around quicker than I expected, and like all goodbyes it was tearful.
I met up with Riku and Kairi where we had planned,
Riku walked up the Ramp to the Entry Hatch of the Gummi Ship and inserted a small black Key.
Once we were all inside, I looked at Kairi who was rummaging through her purse.
Even from the back she was beautiful so much so I wanted to jump up and start singing Gospel music.
I may be a bit of an idiot, but there was NO WAY, I was going to blow my cover like THAT!
I relaxed and settled into my black leather seat.
Once the initial take-off had passed I stood up and asked "Is there someplace I could go for some silence?" Riku stood and pointed to a door in the back of the cockpit "Yeah just down the corridor and turn left past the reactor and you will find a few bedrooms I installed."
I turned on my heel and trudged down the hall to the room farthest away from the cockpit. Once the door slid back into place behind me I turned and fell backward on the bed and just laid there...
time passed to the point that I just wasn't sure if it had been a century or one hour.
finally I dozed...
