Ch.2

The Journey Begins

Sora's eyes went wide. His jaw dropped as he counted the number of heartless in the room. Then suddenly a man came charging in through the explosion like a bull in a china shop. His voice echoed loudly:

"SHISHIO YOU BASTARD. THIS FIGHT WAS SUPPOSED TO STAY ON OUR WORLD NONE OF THESE INNOCENT PEOPLE WERE SUPPOSED TO BE INVOLVED!"

"Haha, what did you expect. I am willing to do anything and everything for the worlds to go back into chaos"

Sora gazed at both of them with widened eyes as if none of this were real.

"Why are you doing this!?"

With his head down the lowly man spoke silently as if in disappointment

"Because, He's evil, his name is Shishio; he's been terrorizing my world for months"

"You're…world. What are you talking about?"

"We don't have much time, he will run soon, but as you already know there are several other worlds that you know of. But what you didn't know is that there are more. A lot more. He is a follower of the new evil. The "New Ansem". Our world in your terms would be an 1800's Japan. He has almost succeeded in brining in a new era of hate in our world but now he and many others are obeying someone else. This someone else found out who you are. And he and everybody else know, that if you could defeat Ansem, you are trouble to the conspiracy that they are planning"

"Wh..Wh..Why me what is this, what conspiracy"

"You are the only big threat to the conspiracy and now the "New Ansem" has sent its greatest allies to come and exterminate you. This conspiracy is to pick up where Ansem left off. They are going to try to remake the human race, on every single world"

"Come to kill ME! That kind of makes sense but who are you?"

"I am Kenshin, I've been trying to keep order in our world for a while now, but somehow Shishio found a way to get to other worlds. We have to kill Shishio before he can kill you and tell all his other allies how to get to other worlds"

"Oh God this is all going so fast"

"We don't have much time we hav…"

Without any noise Shishio was there…..then gone in an instant. With horror Sora turned around very slowly only to see Shishio smiling, blade drawn. Like a flash of lightning Shishio swung his blade cutting into the back of Sora.

"Ahh"

Sora lay now prone on the ground. The wreckage was everywhere most people were either dead or dying. The theater became quiet. Kenshin knew that if he attacked Shishio will surely send his heartless in after Sora.

"Hahaha, is this the mighty Sora? How pathetic dead already, without his precious key blade anywhere, hahaha"

"I'm not dead yet you bastard"

Sora staggered to get up. He held out his hand and summoned his key blade. He stood ready to fight.

"Wh. .Impossible! Hmmm no matter. There is no way you can defeat me and my heartless at the same time"

"Your right. I can't defeat you and these heartless at the same time… but I can defeat these heartless, and HE can defeat you"

"Wh…What!?"

Out of nowhere Kenshin was in a strange stance, as if he was ready to attack Shishio. Then with lightning speed Kenshin ran toward Shishio with his final attack, he took two steps, but then as he drew his blade he took a third! Now all his power was focused on his striking. Sora noticed this.

"AMAKAKARU RYU NO HERAMECHI"

BOOOOOM. A huge crash. Kenshin had hit upward at an angle, but Shishio….DODGED IT? Shishio then thrusted upward at Kenshin, this fight was not going to be easy. Kenshin was trying to holding off Shishio. But there was still the matter of the heartless. They needed to be exterminated before they rampaged through town. Sora knew there was no way he could kill all of them alone, but just as he was about to abandon all hope a figure came running in through the debris and dust in the air. It was Riku!

"Maybe you could use some help?"

"RIKU thank God. Ok lets get these things as far away from Kairi as we can….We can do this Riku we can take em'

What felt like an eternity passed as Riku and Sora fought the heartless. Left, Right, Left, Right their blades went, killing dozens in seconds. They stood astonished as they gazed at their accomplishment. They each counted how many they killed

"You?" Riku asked

"1764…..You?"

"1765"

Sora looked angry but he knew there was still the matter of killing Shishio, Kenshin looked weak. There was no way he could last much longer. Shishio then used an attack that was thought to have been kept secret. He side swiped Kenshin with his blade, then…pulled out his sheath and thrusted upward at Kenshin's stomach. He screamed as blood poured out of his mouth. Shishio knew it was now his chance at Sora. He came charging in. He was laughing hysterically as he ran with his sword in his sheath tilted upward as if he were going to do an attack like he did at first at Sora's back. Sora knew that none of his simple attacks could come close to leaving a scratch on Shishio. So he remembered what Kenshin did, his stance. He knew he couldn't pull it off, but it was worth a shot. So he got into the stance. Suddenly his key blade began to pulsate. It was throbbing out of control. Sora felt this new power. The key blade had an aura about it. Sora was not in control of it anymore.

"HAHA YOUR DEAD…YOUR DEAD" Shishio screamed hysterically as he ran toward Sora.

Shishio thought he was going to completely mimic the amakakaru ryu no heramechi, but he was wrong. Shishio came within striking distance, expecting a sideways thrust, Sora did draw his key blade at a sideways thrust, but what he did next sent Shishio flying into the air. He turned his key blade up and struck vertically at Shishio's shoulder.

"Im…pos…sible"

Shishio flew toward the ground. There was no doubt he was dead.

"Ahh" Kenshin said as he struggled to get on his feet "What happened? Did you do this?"

"Something just came over me when I got into that stance…It's like I didn't have control over it at all. It was it's own self.

"Sounds to me Sora you learned a special attack" Riku replied

"Oh man where's Kairi" Sora shouted

"I'm over here I'm ok"

Kenshin limped over to Sora Kairi and Riku:

"Thank you, now my world can begin to rebuild itself. There will be many troubles ahead of you. The "New Ansem" is a terrible beast. His name is Naraku. He not only has the ability to persuade others to do his biddings, but his power cannot be measure. Shishio is a broken twig under-foot compared to Naraku. But believe me when I tell you Naraku is guarded. By all his followers. There will be more like Shishio coming for you know that you have this knowledge. I hope you succeed in your travels, I hope to see you soon, but I must go to my world now. Goodbye."

"Don't you think we should heal your wounds?" Kairi said

"No…I'll be ok, may you find success in defeating the evil Naraku."

They all watched as Kenshin walked away, and got into a very primitive looking machine. But in an instant he was gone.

"Damn that was crazy" Riku said

"Didn't you guys hear him, we have to go and kill this Naraku guy. If he is anything like that Kenshin guy said, he's way more powerful than Ansem. I had enough trouble defeating Ansem…How am I supposed to kill this Narku guy"

"Well you did learn a new attack right. We just have keep traveling to find this Naraku guy. Anybody that stands in our way will…end up like that guy"

They both gaze at a bloody bruised corpse

"Yea Sora we can all do it….Together!" Kairi said

"C'mon Sora we can do anything we want as long as were together!" Riku eccentrically

Yelled

"Ok guys I guess we have a long journey ahead of us, but that's what were good at right? Come on we have a lot of stuff to do before we leave. LET'S GO!"
