Hello and welcome to Chapter 2 of Kingdom Hearts, It's nice to see the positive reviews for Chapter 1, it's been close to a month but I just been taking things at a normal pace and I just wanted to enjoy my holidays a bit more before classes start up again on the 27th of September... That and Dragon Quest XI had my attention with the storyline.

Anyway, enough about my life, you all came here for one thing, the new Chapter so I'll get out of your way and let you enjoy it.

I do not own Kingdom Hearts or any of it's characters, I also do not own any of Disney or Pixar characters be they currently announced or in the future trailers, I also do not own the franchises or worlds that appear in Kingdom Hearts as they respectively belong to their companies, the only thing I'll ever own is my OC and my imagination.

Chapter 2
You want me to become a what?

-Land of Departure, Bedroom-

It had been at least three days since Daniel awoken in the strange new world, it was more so so he could recover his strength and acclimate to his new surroundings as the aforementioned individual was staring out the window to look upon the the beginning of a new day.

Daniel let loose a sigh and thought back to the past few days, the Master of those building along with his students, Terra and Aqua had offered him a place to stay and he had gratefully taken it, but the questioning wasn't immediate which was considerate of the trio.

Daniel turned to look at the bookshelf, one of the few things that was tested was his ability to read and thankfully the books were in English. "At least I don't have to worry about reading or writing since that is one of the key things in communication, if it were some foreign language, I'd have to ask them to teach me and I wouldn't want to impose upon them more than I have to." Daniel thought with some relief and the food was just as ordinary as anything else, though, he did not dare ask for any of his favourite dishes not be picky about the food he ate, that was something he always did.

Daniel returned his attention to that detail, the building they occupied was in the mountains, so there must be at least some village or something like that nearby or one of the occupants had a green thumb and grown their own supplies.

Daniel swung his legs over the side of the bed, slipping his feet into his shoes then he stood, his balance wobbling slightly before he found his centre of gravity, Aqua and Terra kept an eye on him and helped him walk up and down the room or to the bathroom when he needed to, of course, they did talk.

Daniel recalled back in conversations they held a she walked over to the door and undid the knob, walking out into the hallway

-Two Days Ago-

"So Daniel, how old are you?" Terra asked him as Daniel's eyes widened ever so slightly at the personal question as Aqua sat in the room, she did seem taken aback by the sudden question and spoke. "Terra, that's a bit too personal!" Aqua scolded and Terra took a look as Aqua's face was one that wasn't pleased with the sudden question before Aqua turned to stare at Daniel, her features softening.

"You don't have to answer that if you don't want to." Aqua said in a reassuring tone and Daniel rubbed his chin in thought. "No, I think it's only fair, especially if I am going to be staying here... well... I'm 15 years old since I recently had my birthday." Daniel said honestly.

"Really now, I'm 16 and Aqua's 14." Terra said and the air in the room felt like it lowered somewhat in temperature and Daniel had a feeling where that was coming from, in all his years of watching anime and video games, there was one simple golden rule no man ever says, a girls age and Daniel saw Aqua's facial features had a sweet smile as her eyes were closed with the feeling of the intent to harm Terra was definitely there,

"Should I bail Terra out or leave him to Aqua?" Daniel thought in concern, no one should get between a woman's wrath and due punishment but Terra obviously wasn't thinking, Daniel then spoke. "You know, Aqua, I have to ask, did you come up with your outfit yourself?"

Aqua's posture immediately changed from one of wanting to punish Terra to one of surprise, his blue eyes staring at him for the question being asked. "Well... yes... I designed it myself with some help from Master Eraqus, I wanted something that is flowing and doesn't impede me in anyway, I quite like it actually, it's something I'm quite proud of." Aqua said with a smile escaping.

"Same here, Master Eraqus lets his students design their own clothes while we are studying under him." Terra pointed out, his arms crossed and Daniel looked to the two of them. "I see, they do look very unique, but what makes you call Mister Eraqus Master?" Daniel asked the two and Aqua and Terra shared a look between them.

"I think Master Eraqus should be the one to tell you that when you are able to handle walking on your own, you know we are his students but..." Terra begun to say and Aqua spoke after him. "It's kind of a secret we can't share, I hope you understand we aren't doing this to make you feel left out." Aqua said in reassurance.

-Present Day-

Daniel walked down the steps, a hand on the wall , the house or rather... complex owned by Eraqus was relatively straight forward despite it's outside exterior, Terra and Aqua were nowhere to be found and Daniel came upon an auditorium with three chairs with a about three step stairway and a magnificent pained glass that was blue, white red and yellow respectively, six circular windowed panes with smaller circular decorative designs of a seashells within them and the centre was a decorative snowflake with six circular shapes on the white lays separating them, he walked up one of two circular stairways into the area and was taken back by the sheer size of it.

"Whoa..." Daniel said in awe, it was quite grand and looked to the chairs, they looked more like wooden thrones with the main back stretching up higher than any person could be. "Surely Terra and Aqua don't sit there with Mister Eraqus?" Daniel muttered under his breath and turned his head.

"Okay, there's likely a way outside this place, I don't want to get lost in... whatever kind of house this is." Daniel asserted to himself and decided to head down two flights of stairs that was reminiscent of a flat to a hallway with rather elegant light blue patterns and grey flooring as he spotted the double doors and pushed them open, leading to outside with the blue sky, he looked down to see it was a familiar venue, if eh recalled this was where he fallen unconscious before ending in in the bedroom, he took a better look of the area, ivy wrapped around stone pillars and there was a notable stone archway at the bottom of the stairs and it seem there was a further way down.

"Great, more stairs..." Daniel sighed and carefully walked down the grassy path and turned his head to see what the building looked like and he was taken aback by how it looked as the building itself decreased in width as it reached into the ground with tall spires protruding from the roof and two lengths of golden chain connect the castle to twin peaks, the left and rigth side of the building seemed to almost like stretched like rubber and yet the castle, if he could call it that, seemed to nto be buckling under the strange design.

"Well... that's... something I never seen before..." Daniel managed to say and shook his head a bit in disbelief. "Where did I end up? Is that really a place to live? What are the rooms like when it's dipping like that? No... No, don't go crazy over it right now Dan... Just... accept what you see and move on, the less questions and confusion, the better right?" Daniel thought and proceeded to the other end of the plateau and he saw expansive plateaus of ground connected by a singular pathway and clearly quite a few mountains.

"Is this place just really out in the sticks? It's hard to believe no-one would ever notice something like this." Daniel asked himself and walked down the pathway, he did not dare look over the side but from the wide view, it seemed it was a very long way down of the place was floating in the clouds, he had no idea, he then saw some odd... ornaments a she crossed a small bridge, it looked like... a golden ring with a golden diamond hung by a golden chain on a wooden contraption, further down was the same thing but four of them with a golden top in the centre of the wooden pole, it seemed it would rotate if it was pushed and he saw Terra attacking the one further back as it did indeed spin but oddly enough with some key shaped weapons and Eraqus was looking on, arms crossed with Aqua standing beside him, Terra seemed to really doing a hard blow and his reflexes of not getting nailed in the head by an incoming metal ring was there.

"What the...?" Daniel asked himself in utter confusion, he was just given more questions. "What are they doing? Is this what Terra and Aqua meant by being his students... If I didn't see this with my own eyes... I would of thought..." Daniel thought, rapidly.

Terra swung his weapon against a ring and noted there was one more spectator then the Master and Aqua and he leapt away from the incoming metal ring and out of harms way. "Master!" Terra said with a look of surprise and Aqua turned her head to see where Terra was looking, seeing Daniel looking on and Eraqus joined her as Daniel had fallen onto his behind, his legs were shaking.

"Daniel!" Aqua cried out in concern and ran to him, her key shaped weapon disappearing in a flash of light and knelt down before him. "Are you alright? You're looking pale." Aqua asked worryingly and Eraqus looked upon the scene.

"The boy has seen the Keyblade... I was hoping to gradually ease him into this but I should of been more cautious, he was bound to explore eventually since we cannot confine him to his room." Eraqus thought and approached the youth with his student, Terra following a few steps behind, his key like weapon vanishing from his hand.

"Are you alright young man?" Eraqus asked calmly, the boy was clearly paler than he was of fair skin like his students a few days ago. "Is he unwell or just under a big shock?" Eraqus thought in concern before Daniel covered his mouth and had moved within second to hunch over and what followed next was a retching sound as he had thrown up upon the ground and Aqua had shuffled back on her knees a bit as she placed a hand over Daniel's back, rubbing it while not trying to look at what was happening.

"Terra, give the young man some water!" Eraqus said and Terra nodded with rapt attention, running to collect his bottle of water contained with a brown plastic bottle and a towel he had and ran to kneel beside Daniel, steering clear as Daniel fallen back on his behind, narrowly avoiding the mess Terra immediately unscrewing the top and put the open bottle his lips to sip.

"Drink it in small quantities and slowly young man." Eraqus said with reassurance as Aqua took Terra's towel to wipe away any of the sick that was on left on his chin. "You're going to be alright Daniel." Aqua said in hopeful reassurance as she rubbed his back with her free hand.

"T-Tell me s-something... Eraqus.. t-this... isn't m-my w-world is it?" Daniel asked him and Eraqus closed his eyes and uncrossed his arms. "No... no it isn't young man, but are you alright to keep talking, we can take you back to your room." Eraqus offered and Daniel shook his head a little.

"N-No..." Daniel said, his breathing steadily become less panicled. "T-The fresh air would do me some good and... sorry, but when I get really nervous or overwhelmed or scared, I kind of... well, do that, you see, where I come from, I kind of... have a problem with being on my own in unknown locations and get.. like that and scared, I usually have someone accompanying me that I know until I feel I know the area enough to try going on my own." Daniel said shakily, sipping a bit more water.

"The only reason I haven't done this is maybe because I had distractions to not think or realize the situation I'm in... there's nothing like... anything like this existing on my world... so... " Daniel said and Eraqus raised a hand. "Say no more, I will admit I wanted you to gradually discover this isn't your world so you don't suffer like you have, it is my fault I didn't take time to start talking about it while my students checked on you for the past few days." Eraqus said apologetically.

"...You don't have to apologize but.. is there any way I can get back home?" Daniel asked him, looking up as Eraqus rubbed his goatee a bit. "Unfortunately, I do not know of a way back, I even asked an old friend on the day you arrived if any worlds have been affected to cause you to end up here, sadly, he hasn't felt anything." Eraqus stated as Daniel looked saddened.

"However, it does not mean we'll abandon you or if there isn't a way back home, I was planning for you take up residence here and treat this as a temporary home until then, you don't have to pay rent or anything since I understand you are out of your comfort zone." Eraqus stated and Daniel looked worried for a moment when rent was mentioned but eased when Eraqus finished.

"I don't want to impose upon you and become a freeloader... I should really at least pay you back in some manner." Daniel said and Aqua spoke up for the first time in a while. "We aren't forcing you or pitying you, it's just your circumstances are very unique." Aqua said reassuringly.

"But I insist... I can't just take your kindness for a complete and total... off world stranger and not do anything." Daniel said and Eraqus rubbed his chin in thought and Daniel looked ot them. "Just what were... you three doing with those keys?" Daniel asked

"Ah, that is what I have been teaching Terra and Aqua in the ways of the Keyblade." Eraqus stated, there was no obvious reason to hide it now and Daniel tiled his head a bit. "Key... blade?" Daniel asked and Eraqus nodded.

"The Keyblade is a weapon formed from a person with a exceptionally strong heart and acts as the representation of a person's heart, there are many qualities a wielder must have but this is one of them, they are magical weapons capable of many things but here, people train to undergo a test, the Mark of Mastery... this test allows one to become a Keyblade Master and they are given two options, one, they can take on students and reshape this world to their current liking or travel among the many worlds which many more paths may open up to them." Eraqus explained in a lecturing manner.

"And Terra and Aqua want to become these... Masters?" Daniel asked slowly and looked to the two as they nodded. "It's kind of been... our dream to become Masters and we don't regret that decision." Terra said calmly and Aqua nodded.

"When do they take this... exam?" Daniel asked Eraqus and Eraqus raised an eyebrow. "When both Terra and Aqua reach their adulthood since I am currently the only Master on this world and these two are the most prospective students in years since we are so few in number... why do you ask?" Eraqus asked and thought. "I have a idea where this young boy is going..."

"If I can become a Keyblade Master, I can travel the worlds and may be... just may be able to go home." Daniel said as Terra and Aqua let out an audible gasp and Eraqus looked upon him. "The training will be a tough one and you will have to work hard at your studies if you hope to become such a Master." Eraqus stated in a serious and calming tone.

"I guessed as much but if that gives me a way home, it's better than doing nothing." Daniel said with a hint of resolve and Eraqus folded his arms. "I see, truth to be told, the first day you awoken, I along with my students have discussed what we would do with you if a way back to your world wasn't possible and I was unsure if you should be a Keyblade Wielder, however... you should thank my students for giving me convincing arguments, you should thank them once you are clearly motivated." Eraqus answered calmly.

Daniel looked a bit surprised and looked to Terra and Aqua who nodded slightly. "You... want me to to be a Keyblade Wielder?" Daniel asked and Eraqus nodded. "After careful consideration and evaluation of your dedication, however, this isn't something you can just take up and finish within months, it'll be hard work." Eraqus stated and Daniel nodded.

"I'll... do it, I'll become a Keyblade Master if it gets me back home... so... what do I need to do?" Daniel asked and Eraqus looked at him. "First, you are to recover your strength and get accustomed to this world so you do not have any more sessions like you just had before, a Keyblade Master needs to be a confident individual and not be upset by things they cannot control, when you are more well and ready to begin training starting with books, when I determine you are ready to begin acquiring your own Keyblade, then the true training can begin." Eraqus stated calmly.

"And you'll be teaching me Master?" Daniel asked and Eraqus noted the change from Mister to Master. "I will but Terra and Aqua will also share their time in helping you prepare, now, let us get you back home and let you recover, that's your first order." Eraqus said and Daniel nodded as Terra and Aqua helped Daniel stand and being supporting him with their shoulders to walk him back to the castle and Eraqus watched the three's retreating backs.

"That boy's eye shown determination when he heard that he can travel the worlds as a Keyblade Master, I only hope the drive to return home makes him work hard as a student... I'll have to ask Terra and Aqua to keep an eye on him so he isn't pouring it all into his studies and can just be a normal young boy." Eraqus thought and summoned his own Keyblade before casting a bubble of water upon the sickly patch to soak and dissolve away before walking a few paces behind the three.

And that's Chapter 2! I hope you enjoyed it and the reactions to how Daniel felt in a entirely new world, I have read some OC-Insert stories of people from our world end up in another world and don't become overwhelmed or in a state of shock to being sick at the thought of being in entirely different universe away, this also relates to anxiety as I have experience the same things as my OC and figured I'd insert them as I place myself in that OC's shoes and make it be more realistically human in a way, especially since I am a person who suffers difficulties that normal people don't usually think about.

I know also you'll be asking why are Terra and Aqua 16 and 15 respectively? Well, I'll answer that, I looked on the KH Wiki and the moment when Ven first meets Terra and Aqua as Xehanort hands Ventus over to Eraqus, that was stated to be four years ago and in the latest Tokyo Game Show, one of the highlights was that at the start of Birth of Sleep's main game when the Mark of Mastery begins, Terra is 20, Aqua is 18 and Ventus is 16, meaning when Xehanort was tutoring Ventus, he was only 12 years old at the time and when Ventus was taken to Destiny Islands after Vanitas was ripped out, Sora was a newborn baby.

We next see Sora and Riku at four years old when Terra and Aqua end up on Destiny Islands which is consistent with the above, so with this chapter, it's some time before Terra and Aqua meet Ventus for the first time as to keep with the timeline as I had initally thought that Terra, Aqua and Ven were already that age and not with a four year gap between then and the Mark of Mastery like say a few months or something.

This has been StardustXtreme and I'll see you lovely reviewers next time whenever that may be as I'm taking things at my own pace than as I said, constantly updating Chapters each day.
