Usagi: You bet I was surprised when I checked my inbox yesterday, only a couple of hours after submitting this and I had 6 messages in my inbox

Zakura: yet only two of those were reviews for this fic… the others were for Kingdom Dorks. Maybe you are better at parodies.

Usagi: 2 or a million. Doesn't matter, I have fans! And they demand updates! So here's an update for you!

Chapter 2

The Other

"Gawrsh, why do you think the king wanted to see us?"

"I don't know Goofy, but it sure sounded like something serious".

Donald and Goofy were walking through the halls of Disney Castle.

They were on their way to the throne room, after receiving an urgent message from King Mickey, and when you receive an urgent call from someone who's in the same house as you, it's definitely very urgent.

At least this time the mouse hadn't just left a note and left the castle without telling anyone where he went.

As the two friends entered the throne room he was walking back and fourth in front of his throne, looking awfully worried.

"Ah, finally. There you are" he said as he saw the two enter.

"We came as fast as we could your majesty" Donald said and bowed.

"Is something wrong your majesty?" Goofy asked.

"Actually I don't know. But I just got a horrible feeling something is not right" Mickey said. "I already ordered Chip and Dale to get the gummi ship ready."

"Where are we going?" Donald asked.

"We're going to the Destiny Islands" Mickey said, before hurrying out of the throne room.

Donald and Goofy didn't waste any time running after him. They knew all to well what Destiny Island was, and if Sora was in trouble, there was no way they were going to leave him to his own fate.

When Kairi opened her eyes she found herself back in her own room.

Riku must have carried her to her house after yesterday's happenings

Where was Riku anyway?

She went outside and heard soon talking from the beach, Riku was talking to someone.

She could see a colourful space-ship down at the beach; next to it was Riku along with their old friends Mickey, Donald and Goofy.

They stopped talking as they saw Kairi advancing, and Mickey ran up to her.

"Kairi! Riku just told me the news. Is there anything we can do?" he asked.

"Um… No, there's nothing. Thanks anyway Mickey" Kairi said.

"Okay. Just remember we're here if you need anything" Mickey said and smiled.

Sure he was king of Disney Castle, yet he rarely acted like one, to Kairi, Riku and Sora, he simply acted as a good friend.

Donald and Goofy broke into tears, Riku however stayed completely calm.
"You guys are making it seem as if he's died or anything" he said. "Sora's heartless ran of, and disappeared into some kind of portal. I'd say we take the gummi ship and go find him".

"How? We don't even know where that portal lead to!" Donald asked.

"Where did this happen?" Mickey asked.

Riku and Kairi led their friends towards the cave. The Kingdom Keyblade was still stuck in the ground right outside the entrance.

Donald looked nervously inside the cave.

"You're sure there aren't any other heartless in there?" he asked.

"Yes. There was only one and it died when hit by this" Riku said as he pulled the keyblade out of the ground.

"Well there's definitely something in there" Mickey said. "I can hear it."

"Gawrsh. Think it's something dangerous?" Goofy asked.

"Nah. Probably just an animal of some sort. Or could it be… I'll go check it out" Mickey said and walked into the cave.

The mouse walked into the cave, yet he didn't get far before he found what he was looking for.

"Riku? Could you come give me a hand here?" he yelled out.

Riku went inside to help out, as Donald, Goofy and Kairi gathered around the entrance to see what Mickey had found.

Soon the two emerged, supporting a young boy, who seemed to be having trouble walking.

At first glance, he looked a lot like Sora, however his hair was brighter coloured, not to mention shorter.

"Roxas!" Kairi gasped.

"Who's that?" Goofy asked.

"Nobody" Roxas replied shortly, and flinched in pain as he tried to put some weight to his right leg.

"Careful, you might hurt yourself" Mickey said.

"It's okay. I'm fine" Roxas said as Riku helped him sit down on a rock.

Mickey checked his foot over. "It looks like it might be broken" he said. "Donald, can you help?"

"No problem" Donald said and pulled out his staff. A flash of green light came out of it, and soon Roxas' foot was perfectly fine.

"What happened in there?" Riku asked.

"I'm not quite sure" Roxas said. "I remember chasing…or Sora chasing the heartless into the cave. It was very dark, so the heartless was hard to spot. In fact it was impossible. But I remember seeing some movement into the dark, a sharp pain in the chest, then nothing."

"Where is Sora?" Kairi asked.

"I don't know" the nobody replied. "Sorry."
"Well as I was saying before this guy showed up, why don't we just go find him?" Riku asked.

"And as I was saying before, how?" Donald asked.

"Well don't ask me" Riku said. "All I know is that I'm not just going to sit here and sulk. Sora is my best friend; he spent ages trying to find me although he had no clue where to look either. So whether you guys like it or not I'm going alone if I have to".

"You can't. Even if you do find Sora's heartless, how are you going to save his heart?" Mickey asked.

"He got it back once before didn't he?" Riku said.

"That was then Riku, I don't think it will work again" Kairi said.

"If it counts for anything" Roxas started. "Last time Sora became a heartless I didn't get any of his memories, yet I do now".

Riku looked about ready to kill the nobody then and there, yet he knew he couldn't blame Roxas for being honest, besides there was a slight chance Roxas would easily beat him if he picked a fight.

Instead he turned to glaring at each one of his friends in turn (including Roxas).

"So that's it then, you're giving up?" he asked.

"It's not like that, but there isn't much hope is it?" Kairi asked.

"True there's not much, but that doesn't mean all hope is lost does it? I'm leaving alone if I have to. So if you want to stick around here sulking that's fine with me" Riku said.

"Now wait just a minute!" Donald yelled. "There is NO way you're going of to save Sora all on your own!"

Riku looked at the duck with a confused look.

"I think what Donald tries to tell yah is that we're coming too" Goofy said, and Donald nodded.

"Good. Cause I can't drive the gummi ship anyway" Riku said.

Donald and Goofy sweat dropped.

"If you're leaving then I'm going with you. I don't want to be left behind again" Kairi said.

"It could become dangerous" Riku warned.

"So?" Kairi asked.

"You can't really argue with that" Roxas said.

"I take it you're coming too?" Riku asked the blonde.

"Thousand angry heartless couldn't keep me away" Roxas said. "Not that heartless would want anything from me seeing I don't have a heart… but you know what I mean."

Mickey sighed.

"Sounds like I'm outnumbered" he said. "Very well then, let's go save Sora!"

Usagi: and we're of!

Roxas: Wooot!

Sora: you stole my life you blasted nobody!

Roxas: well I can't help Usagi likes me better

Sora: (glares)
