Kingdom Hearts: Forgotten 12/1/13

Hey guys, here is the second chapter. Hope you like it. :D

Remember this is in Aqua's point of view so if she did not know about something that may have happened it will not be mentioned unless someone tells her. So when talking about what is left when one falls to darkness she will only know about the Heartless and not Nobodies.

Forgotten

Darkness. That was all one could find in this place. Here no natural light could be found, for this land did not have any native form of light. Only foreign forms of light ever had a chance of being found here. These foreign beings of light were just poor souls that, over time got trapped there with no known way out. How many poor souls currently inhabited the land was unknown. Time did not pass here so one would not die of age or hunger, but that was never the true fear of being trapped in the Realm of Darkness. The thing that people actually feared was the creatures that inhabited this dark and desolate place.

Heartless, gigantic midnight black creatures with glowing yellow eyes. Huge in size these creatures made giants look small, one finger was the size of and average adult. Humanoid in look they have a giant hole, shaped like a heart, in the middle of their chest. These Heartless despite the name are not actually Heartless, instead they are what is left when one falls to darkness. After a person's heart is consumed a Heartless is born, the persons heart is contained inside their Heartless.

Heartless are attracted to hearts, so if someone is trapped in the Realm of Darkness they will be hunted down nonstop until they are consumed. There is no shelter in this place, the ground, if there is any, is made up of cold, hard stone; plants like other species cannot survive in here.

And currently I was running away from a pack of giant Heartless, the good thing about them being so big is that their extremely slow.

I have a huge advantage over other people that get trapped here. I unlike most wield a Key-Blade, an extraordinary weapon shaped like a key that only few chosen people can use.

My Key-Blade allowed me to defend myself from the Heartless, others however weren't so lucky. If not for the abilities I gained in my life before I was trapped here I probably wouldn't have made it.

The beasts continued to follow me no matter how far I ran. The stone paths before me continued to weave into the darkness, never seaming to have an end. This was how it always was, me running down the stone paths that acted as ground for this place as I was constantly chased by the colossus Heartless. Truly I should be grateful that it was only the giant heartless that where often found down here. The small weaker heartless would actually be more troubling. The smaller heartless tend to stay in packs and even if I have many of the colossus heartless after me they are slow and more likely to miss with attacks, while the smaller heartless are quick and more accurate.

Running along I glanced back to see that the heartless where closing in, I was slowing down. My heart beat was beating so fast that my chest felt like it may explode, my body was sore and tired, and sweat plastered my short blue hair to my head, my crystal blue eyes nearly closed from exhaustion, while cuts and bruises cover my body.

The cure spells I would caste on me could only keep me going for so long before I would actually need to sleep to regain my energy, and it looks as if my energy is nearly gone. Pulling out my last Elixir I uncapped the bottle; I didn't want to have to use this but if I didn't I wouldn't be able to fight. Drinking the golden liquid I felt my body heal the cuts sealing up and my bruises vanish, slowly artificial energy filled me.

Turning around I prepared to fight the three heartless that where only yards away. Summoning my late masters Keyblade, the Master Blade, I prepared to fight back. Even if I am weak and wary I will not lose hope, I will fight back even if I may fall I will not back down.

"Bring it! I'm ready!" I shouted as the finally reached my destination. Surrounding me the heartless all brought their gigantic hands down on me, preparing to crush me and consume my remains. I high jumped into the air and flipped away from their hands. While hovering in midair I moved away from the heartless using my Keyblade to help me maneuver over their heads. Once I was a way from them I turned to see that they realized I had escaped. I quickly locked on to the three heartless charging up energy into my blade preparing to release my Shotlock Command, Meteor Shower, upon the creatures. Dozens of small white light beams shot out from my keyblade racing toward their target. The impact cause the heartless to stumble backwards their legs lost in the dark fog below.

Before they could ready themselves I sent of a Triple Firaga one ball of burning bright fire heading to each. On impact the balls exploded on the heartless' skins, smoke rising up from the remains of the fire. Using the smoke as cover I dashed over to the heartless and jumped up till I was level with their faces, still confused from the impacts the heartless didn't realize I was right in front of them, going after the middle on I sent of a long air combo dealing sever critical damage.

High jumping away from the colossuses I ran farther down the path trying to gain a greater distance between myself and the monsters before they regained awareness of what was going on.

Turning back around I found the monsters leaning backwards, I knew this attack they were going to release those dang blue balls of light, those where troublesome. While these bred of heartless are slow this particular attack was not, but it was easy to block unless you had three times the number of light orbs. Funny how creatures of darkness could use light like attacks; one would think it impossible for them to use the very element they hated. I would have to time this right or else my shield would not be able to withstand the attacks. Carefully watching them I waited for them to release their attacks…three…..two….one…. there, they released their attacks all six honing in on me.

I waited till they were only a few feet from me before I put up my shield I braced for the impact. The blast crated by the attacks and my shield making contact redirected the orbs back at the heartless, but it also caused my shield to falter. Cracks appeared in the hexagon like shaped that made up the shield. The shards flew inward cutting my face and arms. Small trickles of blood fell across my check, dripping off my chin.

Dang it at this rate I won't last much longer. That was just one wave out of four. There is no way I'll last another three rounds at this rate. If it wasn't for the fact that the redirected attacks harmed the heartless I would just run, but if they hit me and I don't block I'll be in even more trouble.

Once again I put up my shield at the last moment. Once again the attacks where redirected however this time I was thrown backward my shield shattering into a million tiny pieces and my body was thrown backwards. My head hit the stone ground causing a headache to explode inside my head. The Master Blade fell down beside me, clattering as it hit the ground. My limbs felt too heavy to move. The heartless before me where charging up for their next attack; preparing to kill me.

NO, NO! This can't be happening! I can't lose; I still have to wake up Ven and save Terra.

Forcing my heavy limbs to move I stood up and grabbed my master's blade. Finding renewed strength at the thought of my friends I charged at the heartless. Once I reached them I stabbed the ground before me with the Master Blade. The heartless could not move for they were still charging for the attack.

I only have fifteen more seconds before they attack.

Focusing my energy into the blade I prepared to use the most powerful magical attack I knew.

I can't mess up on this, I only have one shot. The master always warned me that this attack may render me unconscious after using it, but it's the only shot I have at surviving this.

Seven seconds…six…..five….four. Come on hurry. Three..two…one…NOW!

"Ultima Light" I screamed. Light came pouring out from around me surrounding me, blinding everything in sight the heartless fading away till all I could see was light.

I began to feel light headed sleep over taking my body. I began to sway, no longer able to stand up.

Terra, Ven I promise this is not the end I will find you two again.

My body hit the floor and my world turned dark.

As my body floated in what I assumed was a dream like state many memories came rushing through my mind. Memories of Terra and Ven and our home and all the things we went through, the good and the bad. Ven falling into a coma, Terra becoming possessed, our home being nearly destroyed, myself falling into the dark realm.

I miss the light. The feeling of the sun on your face or the grass underneath you as you sit down, heck I would die just to be able to finally sleep in an actual bed again. This place is way too dull; all there is is the swirling darkness, purple mixed in with the black, and the yellow from the Heartless' eyes.

Why am I still here? Has no one thought to look for me? King Mickey, Yin Sid, anyone, they knew I went looking for Terra so have they actually even tried to find me. It seems as if I have been walking forever, time seems to be irrelevant here so has a ton of time passed or only a little? I don't know.

How can I ever wake up Ven if I never find my way out of here? I don't know how much the Land of Departures transformed form will affect Ven. What if he is just sitting there, getting no nutrition, what if he starves to death. I have to get out of here. I can't just leave Ven there; no way, Ven is too young and innocent to have to have gone through all of this.

Ven was always a little brother to Terra and I. Ever since he showed up on our door step along with that traitor Xehanort. Ever since Ven collapsed and fell into that coma Terra and I became so protective of him, we barley even knew him at the time, but even then right off the bat we knew Ven was going to be like a younger brother to us.

Terra, I don't even really knew what we were. We weren't just friends nor were we like siblings, but we never really got very far. We were so concentrated on our training for the Mark of Mastery Exam and then having to go after Xehanort that we never got any were. But I know for sure that had things not turned out the way they did that we most likely ended up together. I still care for him so much; I don't think those feelings will ever go away.

The farthest we ever went was when Terra kissed me on the check while we were in my room. I was helping explain to him how a certain spell worked and after he finally got it he pecked me on the check claiming that it was his way of telling me thank you.

I miss Terra. What happened to him? Did he ever take back control of his body after I freed him from here, or is Xehanort in control of Terra's body doing terrible things with Terra's face? Oh please let Terra have regained control, please. He couldn't have truly lost control could he? No I believe in Terra, even now I know that he is out there. Even if he does not have control now he will once again.

I stopped, drifting away from my thoughts, my body seaming to be waking up. Coming back to consciousness I found myself in the middle of the same stone path from before, only I was alone.

Standing up I continued in my travel down the pathway. I can't stay here, more heartless will show up, I have to keep moving. After a long while the darkness started to become less dark, looking up I noticed a beach only a couple yards away. The grey grains of materials that acted as sand ran along the shoreline. The sea water was completely dark except for the areas touched by the moon light. A full moon, when was the last time I even saw the moon. Terra, Ven and I would usually spend much of our nights together just watching the stars above wondering about the other worlds and dreaming of being Masters.

Looking to my left I found another figure right beside me, sitting on one of the many rocks that littered the shoreline.

He only wore a long black cloak, his hood drawn over his head. He was looking out at the sea, not seaming to notice my presence. Walking over to him I turn toward him and asked "Who are you?"

Finally turning to face me, his face hidden by the shadows created by his hood, he responded. "Why, hello. It's not often I get visitors." His voice was deep and rumbled slightly when he talked.

"Please, call me Aqua. Why are you sitting here all alone in the realm of darkness? How did you end up here?" I asked in general concern.

"Well…. I can tell you this is my second time on these shores." He stated looking back out at the ocean before us. "But unfortunately, much like the first, I don't remember who I am or whence I came. Everything was washed away in whatever currents carried me here."

No memories! What has he been through; what caused him to end up here?

"That's too bad. I know I've been here a long time, wandering through the endless hours…. unable to escape…" I said depressed. I sat down on the grey sand below me, my feet stretched out before me, my short armored boots shining in the moon light.

"You wish to return to your own world?" He asked. Well of course I do, but that's not the main reason I wish to return.

"It's my friends. I promised I'd be there for them."

"Your friends? Somewhere in the scraps of memories I have left, you remind me of a boy I once knew. He is very much like you – true to his friends, and kind. This boy traveled to many worlds and fights to keep the light safe."

A boy, who?

"Keep the light safe? I've been away too long. Did something happen out there? Are the world in danger?" Please tell me the worlds are fine; please don't let all our efforts have been in vain.

"Sad to say, they nearly fell to darkness more than once." NO! "But at every turn, that boy arrived with Keyblade in hand to save the day." He said calmly. I quickly turned toward him hope filling me.

A Keyblade!

"Huh? Wait a sec…. Is his name Terra or Ven?" Are they out there now protecting the worlds?

Slowly the man shakes his head.

"Neither of those, I'm afraid."

Oh.

Sighing I turned to look back at the ocean, dispersion falling back on me.

"Should've known."

"How long has it been since I met him?" The cloaked man asked. "At least a year now, perhaps more… Back then, my heart was clouded with vengeance." He stated somewhat angrily as he clinched his fist.

Vengeance huh, that never leads to anything good.

"I did terrible things… both to him and his friends. I brought unhappiness to more lives than one."

How many people did he affect?

"I felt something must be done. Was that why? A means of clearing my conscience? Or perhaps, out of a sort of scholarly instinct? While the boy slept his long sleep, I hid the results of my research inside him, transplanting the data to where it might best serve a purpose."

How did he put the data inside of the boy? And why was the boy asleep for so long? Did something happen to his heart like Ven, or something else?

"In fact, I would like to believe…. Maybe he can set things right." The man sounded hopeful while he said that.

"A boy like him who touches so many hearts- he could open the right door and save all those people whose lives I managed to ruin. So many are still waiting for their new beginning, their birth by sleep. Even me and even you." He finally glanced up from the ocean looking back over at me.

Even us huh, I wonder how many people need his help, and when will he finally help us.

"What's this boy's name?" I asked. Is this boy someone I once knew or is he someone that's a total stranger?

The man started to answer my question "His name…..is….", but then he paused for a long moment as if he was trying to remember the answer. "Sora." He finally said.

The little boy from the islands; how time has passed if that child is now saving the worlds. But wasn't it the boy Riku that gained the Keyblade from Terra; how then did Sora gain the Keyblade?

I had hoped that those young boys would have lived a normal life; one that was free of fights against darkness and the fear of losing the worlds. Unexpectedly I started to cry; crystal tears flowing down my face.

Turning to face the man I felt the boy's name slip through my lips.

"Sora."

I had hoped that the boys would have never had to deal with the problems of the other worlds; that they could have just lived their lives without any problems.

But it seems that life is never really fair. Dragging those children into problems they were never meant to face. But if what this man says is true and Sora has saved the worlds more than once then that means that he must have grown up to be quiet strong. And to have learned how to wield a Keyblade without a teacher; well that's a large accomplishment in its self. I don't think the three of us could have gotten as far as we did if it was not for Master Eraqus. Hopefully Sora will remember us and find us one day; finally setting us free from our prisons.

Maybe he will help Terra find a way to regain his body and once he finds me I can wake Ven up. Then whoever else needs saving will hopefully be found.

Dang, young little Sora off saving the worlds; man how times have changed. No matter what I can't stop picturing Sora as his four year old self, I can't imagine him being older.

"Is Sora the only one fighting to save the worlds or are their others helping him fight?" I asked hoping that the boy was not alone in his fight.

"No, there were others helping him. I can't recall a large mouse king" Mickey ", a wizard duck, a dog who was a knight, Sora's best friend who was a boy with silver hair" Riku ", and another boy who could of also have been the Keyblade hero, but was too different from Sora to be the hero. He had blonde hair and also wielded a Keyblade. I remember that I caused that boy a ton of pain."

(I had to put in a Roxas reference.)

"It's nice to know that he had so much help. And I'm sure that boy must be one of the people Sora has to help; so maybe someday Sora will save the boy and us, and you will have a chance to help the boy and make up for your mistakes." I told him truly hoping that one day the boy will no longer suffer and the man could be at peace.

"Perhaps."

"It's nice not having to run from the heartless right now; to finally be able to relax." I said lying back on the sand, staring up at the moon lit sky above.

"Yes it seems that the heartless cannot enter this place; this maybe the only save place within this dreaded realm."

"Yea, I wonder how much longer we will be here, but even if we have to wait for several more years I'll be willing to wait because if Sora is the one that has to save us; then I know we will never be forgotten.
