On to the reviews:

From Juggernuat:

Mark: 3 out of 5 not bad I guess, but unfortunantely for you this chapter will be kind of slow until around the end, but the chapter does offer some explanations that wern't explained in the game.

Michael: OUR version of it anyway.

Mark: Whatever.

From L.A.S.S :

Michael: Thanks, by the way you mispelled my name.

Now on to Chapter 2.

Chapter 2

Revelations and Separations

Matts' Flashback

" You- you're Riku," I said.

"How do you know my name," Riku asked, confused.

"Uhhhh, I heard about you," I said.

"Really, from who," Riku asked, even more confused.

"Um-well I heard it from- you see- I forget," I said, pulling every desperate move I can think of.

"You… forgot," stated Riku, his voice on the edge of disbelief.

"Uh, yeah," I said, hoping Riku would leave it be.

"Are you serious," Riku asked again, I was really starting to get nervous.

I answered as simply as I can, "Yes."

Riku thinks for a minute, then after awhile he finally reaches a decision.

"Look I don't know how you really know me, but I'll accept what you say is true… for now."

I nod and he stands up, helping me off the ground.

I can't believe fell for that, it will at least give me time to find Mark and Michael.

'Growl.'

"You sound hungry," said Riku.

"Yeah, I guess I am," I said.

Riku looks around, and says to me, "Where do you live I'll take you home."

That was a new problem; luckily I had a quick solution.

"I don't have one."

Lie through my teeth, "I don't even know where I am."

Riku responds without looking at me, "Destiny Islands, but you already knew that didn't you."

He gives me a funny look and I just look away, he sighs and walks down a path motioning for me to follow.

"Maybe you can come to my house, I'll get you some clothes, a place for you to rest, and something to eat," Riku offers.

"Yeah thanks, by the way I'm Matt," I say, as I run after Riku.


The clothes Riku gave me must of been a hand me down of his or something; it was a bright blue sleeveless shirt, a pair of blue pants, some black fingerless gloves, and black and silver tennis shoes.

"Thanks for the clothes," I said.

"No problem," Riku said, taking my plate of food from the table and setting it in the sink.

I rubbed my stomach and said, "Oh yeah, and thanks for the food."

" Anytime," Riku responded absentmindedly, apparently focused on washing the dishes.

I decided I was going to go and look around Rikus house, which I must say is pretty small, It could fit a family of three maybe four, but it would still be pretty cramped, I could almost understand why Riku would want to leave the island, almost. As I stood up I heard Riku muttering something, I distinctly heard the word 'raft' so I stop and listen in.

"I guess the raft will have a lot of helpers if I can get that new guy to help," Riku muttered.

It took awhile for two-and-two to add up, but I finally remembered what Riku was talking about. Then I had an idea, and it may just work.

"Can I help," I asked.

Riku continued to wash the dishes, "With what?"

"The raft," I state.

Riku stopped washing the dishes and stared at me.

"How did you know about the raft," Riku asked warily.

I chuckle at Riku for forgetting something important, "You said, it just now,"

"I did," Riku asked, shifting his feet while he stood there.

I simply nod, his was face impassive as he turns back towards the dishes.

"Oh, I guess its ok," Riku sighed, "how old are you anyway, eight?"

I'm pretty sure if I looked in a mirror, my face would look offended as I replied haughtily.

"For your information Mr. Moody, I'm ten, TEN, not eight."

Riku held up his hands in mock surrender, "Sorry, fine you're ten, have ever done any hard labor before?"

I paused to think about this and I answer slowly.

"Well, my dad used to take me and my brother to work with him, so yeah I have done some hard work before."

Riku nodded his head, apparently that was the answer he was looking for. He crossed over to the counter and wiped his hands on a dishrag that has seen better days, then he turned back to me and told me the details.

"We start working tomorrow, the raft is not on this island but on the one next to it, so we will need to take a boat to get there."

I nodded and Riku told me to get to bed so I could wake up early the next morning.

As I was walking up I turned back to him and asked.

"Oh, do you happen to know two boys, named Michael and Mark," I asked.

Riku leaned in toward the kitchen door and gave me a look.

"Why do you know them or something," Riku asked.

I thought about saying how I knew Michael and Mark, but I decided against it.

"Yeah I know them, have you seen them?"

Riku frowned and told me, "I do know a Mark, he appeared on the island just today. I don't know if this is the same Mark you know or someone else, but yes I have seen him, but I don't know about a boy named Michael, sorry."

"Ok," I whispered to myself, and I went to bed.


The next morning Riku and I rushed outside and to the town pier, Riku started to untie his boat by the time I caught up to him, he waved over to me to hurry up.

"Come on Matt, get in," said Riku sitting in a rowboat.

"Ok," and sat I down across from him.

Riku picked up the two oars and started to paddle to the island, it didn't take us too long since the island wasn't that far from the town. Upon arrival Riku and I stepped out of the boat and tied it to the pier, when I turned around my eyes widened, there on the beach was Sora and Kairi waving at Riku, he waved back and turned to me.

"You wanted to help right," I nodded, and he pointed towards to even sized boards lying by the pier, "take those two boards and carry them over there."

Riku ran off to talk to the other two and I picked up the two logs and started to lug them across the beach, about halfway through the beach I notice Sora, Kairi, and Riku talking to some people, then Kairi giggled and Riku caught my attention and suddenly slapped his face.

"Oh that reminds me, I found someone else who wanted to help us."

Then I heard Kairi say, "Someone else?"

"Yeah," Riku said excited now, "I met him at my house and he really wanted to help so…"

I wasn't that enthusiastic about working on the boat, was I?

Then Riku stepped aside and when I looked ahead, I almost fell to the ground, standing there wide-eyed and jaw-dropped was my two older brothers.

I couldn't think of anything else to say except, "Yo how's it going?"


Michaels' Flashback

I remember the first thing I thought when I landed on the islands: Holy crap there's sand in my mouth!

Well, actually I meant the second thought in my head: I have to find Mark and Matt, yeah something a little closer to that.

I lifted my head up and spat the sand out, even though I still couldn't believe where I was, I recognized the place; it was the secret spot, you know that cave where Sora and Kairi drew stuff on the cavern walls.

I looked over at the wall and sure enough; all sorts of etchings were carved onto the rocky cavern and in the corner there was the portraits that Sora and Kairi drew of each other. Staring right at it I can't help but to smile, then I notice that the paupu fruit wasn't drawn yet, that means that today is probably the day before Sora came here and carved the star shaped fruit.

Looking straight up in the sky I see the moon staring right back at me, that meant it was probably late evening, but this was no time to sleep I scanned the sandy ground and noticed my katana lying a few feet from where I woke up. When I bent down to pick it up right next to it was a scabbard to hold the blade in, I picked it up and swung it around my shoulder, sheathed the sword, and stepped out of the cave to start my search.


"I searched this whole night and all I found was this damn sword!"

I looked at the stout sword I found by the beach, the only thing unique about it was that it had a gold and blue handle, but basically it was nothing really special.

The sun started to rise and I was getting tired, I was heading toward the cave to get some rest when I remembered there was one place I hadn't checked: the treehouse that was right next to the cave. I changed direction midway and walked up the path when I heard a voice:

"Kairi, what are you doing?"

I froze, did the people of Kingdom Hearts add something I wasn't aware of? I slowly continued up the ladder and edged my head over the door jam, hoping it wasn't what I thought it was, and it wasn't.

Instead of finding Kairi kissing Sora I found my little brother making kissing noises in his sleep, I stared in bewilderment, not at the fact that I found my brother intact and in one piece; BUT THE FACT THAT KISSING KAIRI WAS EVEN IN HIS HEAD!

"I'm going to have so much fun with this," I say to myself, before opening my mouth and rudely awaking him from his pleasant dream.

End of flashbacks


Now

Michaels POV

I saw and yet I couldn't believe it, standing in front of us was holding two logs was our DS playing, video game manic, younger brother; Matt Fri.

(Play the Brothers theme, Precious Things)

"Matt!"

Mark ran in and tackled Matt, who dropped the two logs he was carrying and with a cry, he fell on his back.

I sighed knowing that Mark had a tendency of rough 'hellos'.

I walked over, gently pried Mark off Matt, pulled him off the ground and addressed him with a softer hug.

"Do… you three know each other," Sora asked.

"Yep," Mark said cheerfully," we're brothers!"

"Another one," Riku said shocked by this scene, " how many are there?"

I stepped up and chuckled," On this island… just us."

For a moment I thought Riku went slightly pale at the thought of more of the Fri family on the island, so I decided not to tell him about the other two siblings just to save him from fainting.

(End Brothers theme, Precious Things)

"So, are we going to stand here or are we going to get to work," I said, breaking the long silence.

Kairi nodded and she gave us jobs for the day, we spilt into pairs; Kairi and Matt would look for spare clothes, get bags to store stuff in them and so forth. Riku and Mark would start to build the raft, nail in boards, tie them up, set the sail and basic handyman work. Sora and I agreed to find a sail, a few more logs, and some rope.

When Sora and I found everything on our list we decided to rendezvous with the others at the part of the island where the raft was being built, when the two of us arrived we found Riku and Mark hard at work, putting the mast in the raft. The two boys lifted the log and quickly but precisely set the mast on the raft, brushing sawdust of their pants and wiping the sweat of their foreheads, they leaned against the newly set mast, grinning when they noticed us coming back with the supplies.

The sun was starting to set by the time we set the sail, the rope, and the extra logs on the raft. Soon Kairi and Matt came back with a bunch of boxes in hand; Riku and I rushed over and lightened their load. For a moment I thought a look of jealousy flashed on Soras face, but he covered it up quickly.

"Hey guys, it's getting late why don't we stop for now," Sora suggested.

However Riku protested, "But, there's still so much to do, we still need food, water, a rudder and-"

"Riku, we can get all that done… tomorrow," I said.

Riku opened and closed his mouth a few times, finally he shrugged his shoulders in defeat and walked off, the rest of us followed him shortly.


There we were, the six of us sitting on a small circular island staring at the sunset, and then Sora starts to speak:

"So, Kairis' home is out there somewhere, right?"

"Maybe," Riku says, " we'll never know by staying here."

"But, how far can a raft take us," Sora asks, leaning forward to look at Riku, who leaned back against the tree.

Riku pauses and says, "I don't know, if we have to we'll think of something else."

"So suppose you find another world," Kairi giggles a little, " what would you do there?"

This caught Riku off guard, "Hmm, well I-I haven't really thought about it."

Riku looks up at the sunset, "It's just that, I always wondered why we're here on this island, if there other worlds then why did we end up on this one, and suppose there are other worlds, then ours is just another piece of something much bigger, right?"

Sora lies back on the branch, "I don't know."

Sora is defiantly not the scholar type, I thought.

I heard Mark chuckle quietly was he thinking the same thing I was, or was it because he remembered this scene in the game.

I was so distracted I almost missed the rest of the conversation, "- a lot lately have you?"

"Thanks to you," Riku steps forward, " and you three as well."

Matt responded with a 'huh,' I felt Mark jump slightly at that, even I was a little startled at this and I turned to him:

"What do you mean?"

"Hmm, I don't understand it myself," Riku confesses, " It's just a feeling I get from you three."

"Anyway," Riku turns back to us, "If you four hadn't come here, I wouldn't even be thinking about this, Kairi, Michael, Mark, Matt: thanks."

Kairi smiles," your welcome."

Matt gives a big yawn and Mark suggests that we head back to the town, and they agreed so we started down the bridge when Riku calls out to Sora, he turns around and something lands in his hands.

"You wanted one, didn't you," Riku said.

Sora looked at the star shaped fruit in his hands, " A Paupu fruit?"

As Riku walks by he simply says," If two people share one, their destinies become intertwined, they will remain a part of each others lives, no matter what."

Sora suddenly looked mortified as Riku concluded with: "Come on I know you want to try it."

As Sora tries to explain to a laughing Riku, I turn to Mark.

"Well Mark, should I prepare one for you," I say with a sly knowing smile.

"W-what are you talking about," Mark replies nervously.

I walked a little far ahead and turned to him with an evil grin, and say in my best Mark impersonation: "Kairi, what are doing?"

It was Marks turn to look mortified as I started to make kissing sounds like he did in his dream, Mark looked around hastily to make sure there were no other witnesses.

"I-I don't know what you mean," Mark said, obviously lying.

"Oh really, so how far did you two get," I taunted.

"What! No farther than a kiss- wait, I meant-NO," Mark covered his face within his hands.

When I looked at Matt he had a very similar face that Sora and Mark had earlier, and I decided Mark had enough humiliation.

"Hey it's ok, even I'll admit that she's cute," I reassured, Mark looked up, his face impassive.

Then I added sternly, "But… don't get in the way between her and Sora, that is the only thing I'll say about it."

Mark looked intensely relived and said, "Of course this was just a one time thing, I wouldn't get the way of them," he saw my hesitation and added, "those two are great for each other."

I simply nodded and started down the door, but halfway through it I turn back to Mark.

"Hey Mark."

He turns to me, I smile, and make more kissing sounds, Marks face was priceless, and then he ran after me yelling at me and stuff, Matt followed shortly after that.


Matts' POV

After Michael had finished teasing Mark and when we arrived at the town, we all just realized we had nowhere to stay. Sure Riku let me stay with him last night, but his wasn't big enough to hold any more guests. We could of stayed with Kairi, but she lived with the mayor and he might ask some pretty tough questions, and the last thing we wanted was to draw too much attention, so when Sora offered a place for us to stay we immediately agreed, and I woke up to the sound of Mark and Sora talking to each other.

"Thanks a million for letting us stay with you Sora," Mark said.

"Ah, it's no problem," Sora shrugged.

"Alright Mark stop thanking him, you thanked twenty times already, so SHUT YOUR MOUTH AND LET ME GET SOME DAMN SHUTEYE," Michael bellowed.

"Ok, I actually I slept through the 'twenty times', and stop cursing," I added.

"Who asked you," Michael retorted.

I just groaned and laid my head on my pillow and fell straight to sleep.


That morning I woke up to find that I was the only one in the bedroom; I got out of the sleeping bag and trudged downstairs to find Sora at the breakfast table, he noticed me and said:

"I told my mom that Riku and Kairi were coming and she made some extra food, she left a little while ago so she wouldn't know that they are actually NOT really coming, so eat up."

I sat at the table and dug in at the plate of food in front of me, and noticed that Mark and Michael weren't here.

"Where's stupid and Mr. Vulgar," I ask, food stuffed between my lips.

Sora shuddered when he looked at me, was there something on my face, I thought as stuffed more food in my mouth.

"Umm, M-mark is getting changed in the (-dear god how much can that kid stuff in his big-) bathroom and Michael is buying some (- wait, is he eating his-) clothes at the market," Sora choked.

I let out a big belch and Sora left the table and to the sink for a glass of water. Soon Mark stepped in the kitchen; he was wearing a white zip-up jacket that he left unzipped, the collar sticking straight up so that it partially covered his neck, under the jacket was a simple red t-shirt, long white pants that had two black lines running up the side.

Mark stepped in and said, "What is that smell?"

I jutted my thumb at myself and Mark went to the sink to get a glass of water, which he gulped down rather quickly. After I finished my breakfast, and Mark and Sora had theirs (in a different room I might add, wonder why), we made our way through the town to the pier. Just when we made it to the pier we heard someone calling us, we turned around and Michael was running up to us wearing an undershirt, some brown pants that hung off his legs, and his shoes were a mix between sandals and boots; the top and straps were open like a sandal, but it covered his shins with a brown material very much like a pair of boots.

"Hey guys, sorry I'm late, are we ready to go," Michael asked, a little out of breath.

Sora replied, "Yep, Riku and Kairi are already there so lets go!"


"The usual again? Alright I'll referee."

A voice caused my head to look over to where Sora and Riku were standing, Michael and Mark noticed it as well and we all went to find out what's happening, although I had a feeling I knew what it was.

I walked over to Kairi and gestured towards Sora and Riku, "What are they doing?"

Kairi responded as the two boys started to run down the ruined path, "We're deciding who gets to name the boat either Highwind or Excalibur …"

She paused and added with a giggle," and, who gets to share a paupu with me!"

"WHAAAAT," Mark yelped, and turned toward Michael, who was a little surprised as well.

It's not we didn't expect this, it's just that we didn't know that Kairi knew about the boys other bet, but that also raised a question; who did Kairi want to win?

Apparently Michael decides to voice our thoughts, " So Kairi, who do you want to win?"

Kairi doesn't respond, instead she stares at the small cliff waiting for one of the boys to appear, and she yelled out and pointed over to the watchtower.

"Here they come," Kairi cried out.

"Who's winning," Mark asked.

"It's… Sora," Michael announced.

Kairis face has never been brighter; her face lit up in joy and she barely could contain her glee… until-

"Wait… or is Riku," Michael says confused.

Kairis face fell, she was still kind of happy, but you could tell the idea of Riku winning wasn't something she wanted so much.

Then I looked over and said, " I can't even tell!"

It was true, both boys were neck-to-neck and it looked like neither one was gaining a lead, and it stayed that way when they crossed the finish line.

Sora turned to us and said with a frown, "Um, who won?"

Then Michael voiced his opinion, "Well since it's a tie, maybe Riku should name the boat and Sora should-"

"What, get to share the paupu fruit with Kairi, you actually took that seriously," Riku laughed.

Then I remembered something about the bet, and apparently so did my brothers because Mark hid his face, and Michaels' eyes sparked in remembrance.

"It was just a joke, you should have seen your faces," Riku concluded.

An awkward silence hung through the air, nobody said anything except for Riku who was laughing in a corner, but that doesn't count. I was so tempted to let Riku have it for playing that little prank, didn't he knew that he was toying with Sora and Kairis emotions?

"Maybe we should get back to work on the boat," I said trying to break the silence, " I mean we're leaving tomorrow remember?"

Everyone nods and Sora goes off to find food for the voyage, Mark, Michael, and I just watch as Kairi and Riku get back to work, a scowl on our faces.

"Why the hell did Riku do that," Michael asks to no one in particular.

"Now normally I wouldn't want you cursing, but this time I agree," I nodded, still scowling at the silver haired boy.

"I don't know, maybe we shouldn't get involved, I mean it is a love triangle between those three," Mark says crossing his arms," No sense in adding another in that number right?"

Michael looks at Mark and says, "Then why are you still here?"

Mark made a face between confusion and curiosity, I just shook my head muttering 'not this again', Mark looked at me and back to Michael, and his face was just like last night, he yelled at a smirking Michael:

"WHY DO YOU KEEP TORTURING ME?!"


I don't know how I got here, or more importantly why I lingered, but I did. You see, I dropped my flask of water and it washed up under the dock, I made my way to the pier and I noticed Sora and Kairi sitting on the pier, alone. I decided to leave them be, so I moved quietly under the pier and looked around for the flask, when I found it I reached over and tried to grab it, only to find out it was stuck between two posts, then I heard two voices from above me:

"You know, Riku has changed," it sounded like Kairi.

There was a small noise like a grunt, it came from who I would believe is Sora.

Now I probably should have left right there, Michael and Mark always scold me for eavesdropping on other people, especially on them, but it is not exactly like I had a choice… much.

"Hey Sora, lets take the raft and go, just the two of us," Kairi suggested.

"Huh," Sora responded.

Kairi laughed, "Just kidding!"

Soon they were both laughing and I was just confused altogether.

"What's gotten into you, you're the one who's changed Kairi," Sora said, half laughing.

That did not earn another laugh instead she responded more sadly, "Maybe."

There was a small silence until Kairi spoke once again, "You know, I was a little scared at first about leaving the island, but now I know I could always come home, right?"

"Right," Sora says cheerfully.

I finally got the flask, but I decided to stay and hear the rest.

"Sora, don't ever change," Kairi says, standing up.

That earned another 'huh' from Sora, I peered over the edge of the pier and saw the two of them standing there.

"I just can't wait once we set sail, it'll be great," Kairi says, staring at the setting sun as Riku did the other night.

Then a pair of hands seized my shoulders and pulled me out from under the pier, when I looked over I cringed cause I knew what was coming.

"Now what did we tell you about eavesdropping," Michael said in a scolding tone.

"Geez Matt, I thought you broke that habit of yours," Mark said in an annoyed tone.

"Well, ok, I was eavesdropping- no I mean, there was two seashells and I- no that doesn't sound right," I stammered, the two of them stared at me with a 'try again' look, so I did:

"Ok there was two crabs- ok two crabs, and they- oh all right, I was eavesdropping, ok," I said obviously defeated.

Sora and Kairi noticed us, and they looked embarrassed when they I heard was eavesdropping, then after awhile Sora cleared his throat and suggested that they head home, so I rushed ahead desperately trying to get away from my two angry brothers.


Marks POV

I was uneasy the whole night, I felt I should know what's coming, but with all of todays' activity and Matt eavesdropping on Sora and Kairi, any indication of what should happen later was temporarily nulled.

I felt stiff and I believe everyone else was too, well maybe on the exception of Matt who was jumping on Soras bed, we were all in our bed/sleeping bags just trying to get what little rest we were allowed, when we looked outside and noticed storm clouds growing in the distance.

"A storm," Matt asked confused.

"Oh no, the raft," Sora yelled, sitting upright on his bed.

"We have to get to the island," Michael said, grabbing his katana.

I grabbed my Gladiators sword and Matt grabbed his long sword, by then Sora started climbing out of the window, with me close behind him. After Michael helped Matt down we sped down to the pier and we paddled the boats towards the island in a hurry, when we arrived I noticed something odd, and apparently so did Sora:

"Rikus boat, and Kairis!"

We felt it before we saw it, etching from the dark corners of the island, smallish in body, but still lethal.

"Heartless," I said quietly.

I drew my Gladiators sword and faced the Heartless.

"Hey Michael, that katana of yours sharpened enough," I asked.

Michael answered while running towards the Heartless, "Let's find out!"

He ran forward slicing the first Heartless that charged at us, Matt and I rushed forward hitting the two Heartless that appeared from behind Michael, Sora ran up to help, but I stopped him:

"Find Kairi and Riku we'll handle them, go," I yelled.

Sora nodded, and ran off towards the shack that lead to the circular island while Michael, Matt, and I warded off the rapidly growing Heartless, I sliced one on my left and Matt got one that leapt at him. Michael swung his sword in a series of wide strikes slaying any Heartless that was in his way, he jumped to the beach and yelled for us to follow him, we leapt after him, the Heartless trailing behind us as we made our way to the beach. A few Heartless appeared before us and charged at me, I sliced one that tried to claw me, I spun stabbing one behind me, and beheaded the third one that attacked. Michael jumped sliced one and turned it into a spin attack, slaying a bunch of Heartless around him, one clawed him in the shoulder so he spun around and cleaved it in two when it landed.

Matt did a lot of leap-like attacks that killed the Heartless coming out of the ground; three Heartless however escaped his attacks and came from behind him, Matt spun around and jumped backwards causing the Heartless to stumble, Matt took the opportunity and took out all three in one swipe.

But it didn't help, there were too many Heartless and soon we were all surrounded. The three of us stood back-to-back, surrounded by a sea of Heartless, when I looked over at the island I saw Sora and Riku being covered in darkness, but I didn't wait to find out what happened, the Heartless started to close in.

"I'm not giving up, you two," Michael asks, looking at us.

" Give up? I'm just getting started," Matt yells, staying in a battle stance.

"You know I'm not giving up, but these swords aren't powerful enough," I confess, looking at my gladiators' sword.

Then they jump, all of them, every single one leaping at us, Matt swings his sword at them, Michael raises his up to block the attacks, and I just wait for them to come closer.

"It is time."

The moment the voice spoke a bright light shone behind all three of us, the Heartless dissipated under the bright lights intensity and we all covered our eyes as well. When we opened our eyes our weapons were floating in the air, covered in a veil of light, and then it happened; our weapons were transforming:

My blade elongated and turned dark blue, the hand guard stretched and circled until it reached the end of the handle, ending up in the shape of a heart, at the end of the blade was a sharp point like any other blade, but maybe a bit bigger.

Michaels' blades color stayed the same, the blade was still blood red and metallic silver, the size of the sword grew larger and curved a little more, the back bit at the edge of the sword spread out in two sharp points, the hilt elongated and circled halfway down and stopped.

Matts' sword was the one that changed dramatically, the long sword changed shape completely, the blade was a cross between Oathkeeper and Spellbinder, the blade was split like Oathkeeper, but the end was curved like Spellbinder, if you take the hand guard of the Kingdom Key and reversed it so that the end was at the top and the top was at the bottom, you would have the hilt of Matts blade.

But all of the blades had one thing in common; they all had key chains at the end.

"K-keyblades," Michael yelled out.

I just couldn't speak, I was shocked beyond belief, Keyblades? We aren't supposed to have Keyblades!

I looked in the direction of the island and saw Sora battling Heartless with his Keyblade, however when my gaze stayed towards the cave I remembered something.

"Guys, do remember what happens next?"

They looked at me, but before they could answer more Heartless popped up, I took them out in an instant, then I turned and ran at the secret place yelling, "I think we can save Kairi from losing her heart!"

The others nodded and we ran for the secret area, Matt opened the doors and we hurried inside, we ran through the tunnel, rounded the corner and saw Kairi standing there, fearing we were too late I called her name: "Kairi!"

She turned around her face etched with fear, "Matt, Mark, Michael, what's going on, where's Sora and Riku?"

But before anyone could respond someone emerged from behind Kairi, someone in a full brown cloak a weapon in his hands; the Keyblade of darkness, it looked like the Kingdom Key, except the handle was circular instead of triangular-like and it was black and red, before anyone could yell out the person stabbed Kairi in the heart. Her face was full of shock, a faint smile appeared on her face, and then she fell over her body fading away.

"NO, YOU MONSTER," I yelled, my voice filled with sadness and fury.

"I'LL KILL YOU MURDER," Michael roared. his voice shaking in rage.

"I'LL MAKE YOU PAY FOR THAT," Matt bellowed.

Then the man disappeared in the shadows and Sora came, Keyblade in hand.

"Guys where 's- KAIRI," Sora yelled.

I turned around to find Kairi standing there, perfectly ok, but when she turned towards us my heart fell, she had the same blank look from the game.

"So-ra."

Then the door behind her burst open and Michael, Matt, and I was pushed out instantly, I tumbled head over heels until my head collided with something hard and I fell unconscious.


There was a dull rumbling in my head, was I dreaming? When I opened my eyes I suddenly wished I was, I stood on a piece of the island that was floating in the air, next to me Sora and Matt were helping me up, and what I saw made me feel like I was going to pass out again: a Darkside Heartless towered a few feet ahead of me and Michael was fighting it. He dodged the swinging arms and struck them as they passed.

Sora took something out of his jacket and told me to drink it: a potion. The potion tasted sweet at first, but then as I swallowed it, it left a burning feeling in my throat. But the potions effects healed me up to the point where I could at least stand, and then I heard Michael yelling at us:

" Do you guys mind speeding it up, I'm only battling a giant monster here!"

"Right," I said, as my Keyblade materialized in my hand.

"Hey, how do you guys have the same sword I have," Sora asked confused.

"Later ok," Matt yelled, holding his hand out.

There was a bracelet on his hand I had not noticed before, it glowed for a second then a bolt of lighting came down and struck the Heartless in the chest, and it staggered backwards.

"How did you do THAT," I ask, shocked that Matt already knew magic.

Matt looked at his bracelet and looked at me and said, "I… guessed?"

Then Michael flew past us and landed on the ground, apparently the thunder spell wasn't enough, so Matt ran towards Michael, and Sora and I charged towards the Darkside… only to get swatted away in five seconds.

Ok, this will be harder than I thought, never thought a Darkside would be this big, then again I never expected the world of Kingdom Hearts to be REAL.

Then Sora yelled out, "I have a plan, but I need you three to distract it!"

"Got it," I agreed.

"Sounds a lot better than dying," Michael nodded.

Matt responded by casting another Thunder spell on the Darkside this time hitting its hand, it recoiled and clutched its hand in pain. Sora, Michael, and I ran up to the Heartless while it was distracted; I jumped up and hit its lower stomach, when it doubled over Michael sliced its knee forcing it to lay on the other knee, it didn't expect this it was surprised by our team effort. Then Sora jumped up in the air, raising his Keyblade and bringing it on the Darksides head, the Darkside fell over backwards and slowly floated upwards into the black sphere above us.

"Everyone hold on to something," Sora yelled, grabbing on wood plank that was stuck in the ground.

We all grabbed the wood plank and held on tightly, but Soras grip slipped and he was being launched upwards.

"Sora!" Michael yelled, grabbing Sora and he slipped too.

"Michael!" I yelled grabbing, onto Michael and I slipped too.

"Mar- ouch!" Matt yelled, as he grabbed my hand and was being pulled by the force of all three of us.

But Matt couldn't hold on any longer, and we started to realize it too and that would not be good.

"Don't let go," Sora yelled.

But Matt had already let go, "TOO LATE!"

We all spun upwards and into the ball of eternal abyss above us.
