Chapter 2: Hollow Bastion

Sora landed the Gummi ship and he and his friends made their way toward the computer room where all of Ansem's work was stored. Riku and Kairi had no idea where they were going so they just followed Sora.

They were running past the Bailey and into the area of Ansem's Study Chamber. That was until Sora heard and saw something creeping around the shadows and it seemed to be four legged and following them. Sora zoned out and pondered on what that could of been but was snapped out of it by Kairi who was saying his name over and over again.

"Sora? Is everything ok?" She looked at him a bit worried.

He shook his head and looked at her. "Um yah, everything's fine, we should probably get going." Sora stated and started to head toward the entrance of the building.

"So this was where Ansem did his work." Riku examined.

"Yup." Sora was about to answer but someone had answered before him. He turned to see who it was and it was the King.

"Hey your Majesty." Sora was relieved that they had met so soon instead of waiting till the end of his adventure.

"It's good to see to Sora but we have some matters to discuss, come to the computer room." He turned and went inside.

Sora and his friends followed, Kairi and Riku were amazed at the size of the room, it was amazing.

"Leon!" Sora greeted his long time friend.

"Hey." He greeted and let his other friends come in as well.

Yuffie, Aerith, Cloud, Cid, Merlin, Donald and Goofy came up to them. They were all greeting them calm and maturely although, Donald and Goofy came rushing up and tackled Sora that was followed with a mighty hug.

"Sora, it's so good to see you!" Donald said hugging him like he came from the dark realm.

"Uh-hyuh. Hey Sora!'' Goofy said.

"Yah, guys, good to see you to but can you get off me?" Sora started up and they were standing side by side.

"Now that that's settled here's why we called you, we have found out that Maleficent has returned with Pete and the Heartless and they're cooking up something big." The king said and then he showed them a hologram of a small grey creature that had points on its head, it slouched near the ground, a crooked typed tail and long arms that look like the arms of the Heartless.

"This is called a Nothing. This type is called a Blank, like a Dusk to a Nobody or a Shadow to a Heartless." A voice called out and everyone but Sora, Kairi, Riku, Donald and Goofy recognized. Suddenly, a small little brown dog popped out and placed herself near the King.

The 5 were speechless and confused.

"Uh, hi." Sora started.

The King just giggled. "Sora, Kairi, Riku, fellas, this is Aurora. A daughter of Lady and the Tramp, she was a, uh, a..." The King was lost for words but Aurora started from where he left off.

"A misfit. I'm kinda, special." Donald came up to her.

"Special how?" He went all in her face. She shook her head and showed them her necklace.

"This is why." Donald and the others were still confused.

"What's so important about a small little key like keyblade?" Goofy came to examine it.

"Well, if you must know," Aurora said as if she were enjoying this. "This little key is a keyblade charm, the only one. And for you who are still confused, it means that this doesn't go to just anyone, it picks its own wielder like the keyblade and it also enhances the powers of the Keyblade and its wielder. It also only works when near a keyblade and wielder."

Sora walked up to her and made sure that he got the information right. "So what you're telling us is that you'll have to be my partner from now on." Aurora nodded and turned to the king.

"Ok the introductions are outta the way, back to the Nothings..." King Mickey said but before he could further on with the subject, Goofy asked a question.

"Um, so how are these Nothins created?" He asked.

"Oh, well, these Nothings are created when a heartless is destroyed and as you remember, when a Heartless is destroyed, the heart disappears in the air and that heart doesn't have a place to go to so instead of going anywhere, it turns into a Nothing." The King explained, "Does that answer all of your questions?" Everyone nodded.

Leon nodded as well and stepped forward to take over the situation. "Ok, so Sora, Aurora, Donald and Goofy, you guys head out and make sure that all of the worlds out there are safe and if you run into any trouble, you know what to do. Oh and also, if you find out a little bit more about our enemy, report back to us as soon as possible. We'll also do what we can here and find out more as well."

Leon then turned to Riku and Kairi. "You too will be going around with the King and Pluto, going undercover and finding out more about the plan of Maleficient."

They all agreed but the three friends turned to one another. They were sad that Sora was going to be parting from them once again but he reassured them that he would be ok, since now that he has Donald, Goofy and now Aurora.

The two guys were pulled into a hug by Kairi and were finally off. Sora and the others left with Aurora on Sora's shoulder. Once outside, they were ambushed by a small grey creature which looked like the small creature in the hologram.

"It's the Nothings!" Goofy yelled out.

"Well, we'll need the experience when we're fighting more of the Nothings." Aurora stated.

"Then I guess we better start now." Sora said drawing out his keyblade.

They all fought each Nothing without any trouble at all.

"Wow, they're not that bad." Donald said very cockily.

Aurora rolled her eyes. "Donald, they aren't going to be all that way. They'll get tougher and tougher along the way, like the Heartless but I know you've beaten even the worst of villains." The guys were speechless.

"Uh, how did you know all that?" Sora asked.

"What? I've heard things. Now don't we have a Gummi ship to get to?" Sora smiled at her.

"You know, I think I'm going to like having you around." Sora said still smiling at her.

They were now onboard, they were wondering where to go to next. Suddenly, Chip and Dale popped up on the screen.

"Hey guys, there's a new world that's opened up and I think you should go check it." Chip explained.

Sora flew them over to the small world and it looked like it was surrounded by water. They landed into the place and it looked very familiar to them.

Here's chapter two, hope you enjoyed reading.
