Here's the next chapter. Enjoy.

There will always be Light chapter two: Old Power Renewed.

When Sora and Kairi started to look around for the speaker they both heard a sigh and suddenly Riku appeared no less than five feet from them with an exasperated look on his face.

"Hi Riku""What's going on" Both Sora and Kairi were blushing heavily and refused to look up from their feet.

"Oh stop looking so surprised. Did neither of you think that I haven't been keeping an eye on you. Now come on, we're causing a commotion" At that Sora looked up and saw that Riku had indeed been right, in one sense anyway. Their extended conversation and their sudden appearance in over two years was indeed causing a commotion.

Sora and Kairi stoically followed Riku in silence. Neither knew where they were going but they both trusted Riku with their lives and therefore were not at all concerned where they were going. Neither knew it at the time but both had similar thought along the lines of "Is that true? Is what Riku said really true? Do we both share the same feelings?'

Naturally Sora grew curious as to where they were going and finally asked Riku.

"Where are we going? Cause I kinda promised my mom I'll be back by dusk"

"You had to ask permission to leave the house? Jeez Sora doesn't your mother trust you at all?"

"Oh come on Riku, it's not like I'm the role-model of the community."

"Well yeah but I think after the story you told her about saving worlds' with a team which accounted for a talking duck, a talking mouse and a talking do-whatever Goofy is."

"Uh well..."

"You haven't told her yet have you?"

"Well no. I thought we could explain it together. Have either of you told your parents yet?"

Both Riku and Kairi mumbled something about resting and been busy with some or other matter.

"Ah ha, so you're in the same trouble I'm in."

"Well yeah." Said Riku rather sheepishly. Or rather as close to sheepish you could get a warrior used to suppressing his emotions.

"Well do either of you have an idea about telling them?" Sora was addressing the main problem at the moment the same way his mother would have, with single-minded determination.

"Um, I was hoping either of you could figure out how to explain without them sending us to a padded cell or driving them to believe we were the victims of a new exotic drug." Kairi looked at the two boys with desperation in her eyes

"Exotic drug huh" Riku looked at Kairi with grim amusement through the thing curtain of silver in front of his eyes "It could make for a very creative plan B, don't you think Sora? Sora? Hello, anyone home?"

"I have an idea" Riku could literally see a light bulb shining over Sora's head, so much excitement and hope could be seen in those vivid blue eyes of his."How about we have a barbeque at the island tonight? That way no one would see our power without us wanting them and then we could show them what we've done the last couple years."

"You know Sora, that might just work. What time should we be there and where?" A new hope shone in Kairi's eyes. I mean come on who could withstand the effects those eyes had on you? No emotion showed on Riku's face except for a very slight grin that broke through his otherwise perfect control over his emotions.

"What about Five-ish? That way we can get all the things we need to have fun. What do you think Riku?"Sora looked at his friend and rival who can on any day be expected to fight and live.

"Yeah that'll work. At least I hope it will. I'll go to the island at two or so to put up a few barriers so we won't have any unexpected guests." Riku looked around in anticipation for ever since Sora had started talking with him he had sensed a dark presence close by. He looked and saw that Sora had sensed something as well and was looking around subtly.

Kairi on the other hand had not sensed anything and was standing unguarded focusing on what she'll be saying to the multitude of parents later that night.

Sora looked at Riku and blinked at him, Riku blinked in turn. Sora then looked at Kairi and back at Riku. Riku nodded slowly. Riku knew it meant that Sora would grab Kairi and protect her while he and Riku un-veiled their secret observer.

'Wait Sora' Came the voice of Sora's other in his mind. 'I wanna try something.'

'Really? What is it Roxas? Sora quickly looked at Riku and shook his head slightly. Riku looked at him in surprise and mouthed 'what'. Sora mouthed 'wait' in return.

'Hurry up Roxas! What do you wanna do?' He was starting to panic because Kairi might be in danger. Any experienced warrior would see that she was the least experienced out of the three and therefore the easiest to take down. Sora concentrated on Kairi and suddenly had an idea. He yelled Aeroga with all his might in his mind and a perfect sphere formed around Kairi but his intentions had been successful. You could barely see the thin film of super-speed revolving sphere.

Sora could feel in his mind that Roxas was gathering his own power and focusing it. 'Roxas what are you doing?' 'Summoning a few of my old friends from the Organisation.' Was all he said. Suddenly he felt a faint distortion of space that told him that Roxas had summoned a few Nobodies but in such a low quantity that only he had noticed.

'How many did you summon Roxas?' Sora asked with curiosity 'And how are you still able to summon Nobodies? I thought only the Organisation could summon them?' His smug reply was 'Well yeah but do the lower nobodies know that?'

"Well, probably not." Sora was so distracted from talking to Roxas that he didn't notice that he was speaking aloud again.

'Sora, you blithering idiot. Stop talking aloud'

'Oh was I talking aloud?' He was honestly shocked. 'Well yeah. So Sora now that you've felt me summoning Nobodies do you think you can as well?'

'Well, I've never use Twilight before Roxas.' Sora sounded so honest that Roxas decided to help him out a little. 'Ugh this is gonna hurt me a lot more than its gonna hurt you. Trust me' With those words Roxas threw his entire being into Sora giving him access to all of his power but at the cost that it would exhaust Roxas for days. With the power came memories of Roxas fighting. Each second showed him how to use Twilight expertly and efficiently without losing himself in the rush of power.

While Sora was talking to Roxas Riku was throwing a few Darkness aligned spells around himself, Sora and especially Kairi. Riku felt the slight drain in strength and knew that all his spells had been successful. After he was done he started talking to Kairi in an attempt to take attention away from Sora. A few seconds later Riku felt a strange power emitting from Sora. It was the same power Roxas used to fight against him and against countless Heartless for the Organisation. Suddenly Sora's eyes closed tightly and he began emitting a strange new power. It was the power of Twilight meeting an overwhelming amount of Light. The resulting colour Sora was pulsing was a strange combination of white, black and mainly silver. The white light formed shapes of waves and sunbursts, the black was curling around his body both protectively and possessively. The silver was the strangest of all. It radiated outward and backwards. The resulting looked like angel wings being smothered by thorns.

Sora opened himself to the memories and the power and the Darkness mixed with Light met his own heart filled with pure white Light. Sora began burning, burning from the inside out but it wasn't unpleasant for him, it was as if the flames were protecting him and embracing him not destroying him. Suddenly the power exploded outwards and his body began emitting a strange new light. Darkness covered him while his own light streamed outward purifying the Darkness. The Twilight met his Light and took on a strange glowing silver. The silver cascaded backwards forming angel wings covered tightly in thorns. Sora summoned his keyblade but in its place were two new blades, neither had a keychain. The one in his left was a white blade with a red grip and a grey guard. The blade was pure white with silver cascading along the edge. The teeth were a combination of white and silver, and were the same as Sora's Olympia.

The second blade in his right hand was a black blade with a blue grip and a grey guard. The blade was pure ebony with a red serrated edge. The teeth were a combination of black and blue with grey on the edges, the teeth was a single spiked edge like Riku's keyblade of hearts.

Sora stared in awe at his new form and his new blades, as did Riku and Kairi. 'Thank you Roxas!' Is all Sora yelled in his mind.

Riku and Kairi stared at Sora and he suddenly screamed "Let's see what this can do!" Suddenly he disappeared and heard someone yell out in surprise. "What the! How'd you find me kid?" "Kairi did you see Sora move?" Riku asked in a trembly voice for he had completely lost sight of him. Riku didn't want to feel weak but very suddenly he was feeling like a little kid again, and he didn't know how to deal with that. He sank down on his knees with his head bowed.

"Riku! What's wrong?" Kairi sounded worried but Riku heard her as if she was at the end of a tunnel, all echo no understanding. "Why is it always him?"

He asked in a very weak voice. "Why is he always so much stronger than me? Why? Why? Why!" Riku suddenly stood up tall and proud and proclaimed "I have mastered the Darkness, at the very least. I have power Sora will never have." Sora appeared in front of them again holding a very distraught teenage boy about sixteen years old. He wore black pants and matching black shirt with a grey jacket over it. His pants had various buckles strapped to them and he wore grey shoes. He had very fair skin with blackish-red hair that hung straight over his face that didn't completely cover his eyes. His hair was of varying length, some of it hung over his ears but didn't reach his neck while others hung from his cheeks to his chin. He had deep blue-green eyes with golden shading close to the pupil. He had a very open expression and had a bemused look on his face even though Sora had both his blades pressed to his neck.

"Why are you spying on us?" Riku's voice was very dark with an echoing quality to it. Kairi stared at him in fear but the kid their age merely smirked "And why should I tell you? It's not like you can force me to tell you. And besides maybe you should see to your friend, he's not doing so great." His smirk widened into a grin.

"What do you mean? Sora looks fine." Kairi had concern in her voice but Riku didn't look as confident as he did before.

"Kairi, he's right. Sora reeks of Darkness. And look at him" Riku pointed at Sora and revealed that Sora was staring at the stranger with a dull hatred in his eyes.

"What happened to him?"Then she looked at the stranger in anger and asked "What have you done?"

"I have done nothing. He did this to himself. He used power he could not control and tried to flood out the Darkness with his Light."The stranger sounded bored with the whole conversation and suddenly walked forward causing Sora's blades to slice across his throat. Sora slashed at him but the stranger merely caught the blade on his open palm. The stranger swore and did something no one would have anticipated. He started laughing. He then pointed his left index finger at Sora and he uttered a single word 'Inanis' or empty in Latin and suddenly Sora's swords disappeared in a flash of light. He fell forward and all the power within him drained away.

"What have you done" Kairi screamed at the stranger and fell to her knees in front of Sora and pulled his head into her lap.

"Don't worry about him. I just drained him of all power that was currently in use. I then shot it back into his heart and it was accepted as Light and Twilight. Actually you should be thanking me." He sounded smug

"What's your name? And why should we be thanking you exactly? " Riku sounded cautious and started channelling all his strength into his heart for safe keeping.

"Well I saved your friend from losing his heart and I also gave him the power to control Twilight. Just like you can use power from the Dawn I gave him power over the opposite." He bowed slightly and said

"My name is my own but you can call me Dante" Dante spoke with a new friendliness and suddenly looked at Kairi with concern. "You might want to step away from him now."

"Why should I?" Kairi tried to cover up her gratefulness by trying to sound cautions.

"He'll be confused and exceedingly weak so he'll be overly cautious and will attack if you get too close." As if on cue Sora's eyes opened and when he saw Kairi standing over him he drew his keyblade and attacked her. Before Riku could defend her Dante stepped in front of her and said calmly "Light's grace" and from his palm cascaded seven rays of Light that formed a tri-coloured barrier in front of him. He looked at Kairi with concern and said to her

"Stay back. I'll stop him without hurting him." And with those words he began to glow with a golden hue that Riku recognised immediately as the power of Dawn. Dante swept his left arm around in an arc at Sora and a wave of Dawn shot towards Sora. It struck Sora in the chest and lifted him off his feet. Dante then lifted his hand upwards with his fingers pointed upwards. Sora stopped falling through the air and came to a stop hanging in the air.

Dante stepped forward and placed his hand on Sora's chest and said 'potestatem'. He stepped back and held his arm into the air. One by one four different coloured orbs of differing colours began appearing in his palm and one by one he sent them cascading towards Sora. 'lux' a pure white orb shot forward, 'illucesco' a golden sphere shot forward, 'crepusculum' a grey orb shot forwards, 'caligo' a black and purple orb shot forward. When the last orb hit Sora he fell to the ground with a thump.

"Well, mostly unhurt anyway" he muttered to himself.
