Yes, I was actually serious about what I said. And now that I've finished "Are We Human?" I thought I'd make a start on this story. Well continuing it anyway. Well, enjoy!

Oh yeah, I own nothing but the idea of the story and a Keyblade right know. The main plot is all that belongs to me. Now enjoy!

Nearly forgot...not really. Just kidding!


Tidus' POV

I couldn't help but gasp at the size of the ship. I wasn't the only one when there were two gasps to my right as well. However, it obviously hadn't been Sora's first time on the ship as he didn't react at all. That is until two figures burst through a door and either hugged or tackled me. I wasn't sure which but I did end up on the floor.

"Um, guys. I'm over here."

"Oops. Sorry there." the taller one said.

"Hey. Who are you?"

"He's Tidus. He's a Keyblade bearer and my boyfriend." Sora said simply.

"It's nice to meet you. I'm Donald Duck." said the short one.

"Name's Goofy." said the other. "And through there is The King." he continued, pointing towards the door they'd burst through.

"The King's come too!" Sora said shocked. "Now I know it's something bad. Come on!" He lead us through the door.

I entered last and when I saw everyone else bowing, I did the same. "Gosh guys, you don't need to bow to me." I saw The King and instantly decided he was nice. He was short, had huge ears and a kind but funny voice. He also seemed to respect his friends a lot. "And who are you?"

"Me? Oh, I'm Tidus, I'm..."

"He's my boyfriend." Sora finished for me.

"That's nice to hear. Anyway, we need you over at Disney Castle. So take a seat and buckle in." The seats were arranged in pairs, save for the three drivers seats. I took one next to Sora and Riku and Kairi sat together. The other three sat in the drivers seats. "Hold on tight!" The King shouted as the engines started up.


The actual take off was surprisingly smooth. It was only really bumpy when the engines were starting.

"Ok guys, it's fine to get up now." The King said after a minute or two. "Feel free to explore. There are some new features in this place. So go and look. Oh, and you get rooms 101 to 104."

"What, we don't get to share a room?" I made this complaint to Sora in a whisper.

He giggled. "I've go at little surprise for you tonight." he whispered back.

"Hey guys. We should be there in an hour." Goofy called.

"Aww, you may have to wait for tomorrow night Tidus..."

"Why Sora, what are we going to do tomorrow night?" I replied grinning.

"Now don't you dare think you can get me to make a "Pinky and The Brain" reference. It's never going to happen." Sora replied.

"Hey! Are you two love birds going to stand there for the entire trip and chat or are we going to explore?"

We both laughed. "We'll come, guys. Don't worry." Sora answered.

"Good. Now hurry up!" Kairi shouted at us.


The ship was bigger than I ever thought it could be. There was an arcade, five kitchens, seven dining rooms, about fifty lounges and the same number of bedrooms. There were also two training rooms and more than enough bathrooms. Then there was the hold, the cockpit, the armory, the forge, the pantries, the emergency corridors and the turrets. I had no idea what they where for until Sora explained the hazards that could be found on so called gummi-routes. Sora already seemed to know most of the ship's layout by heart. Fifty minutes later, we were called back to the cockpit. The King apparently wanted to make an announcement.

"Right, so you know why your here, there is a new being wanting to take control of Kingdom Hearts..."

"Again?"

"Sora..." I said.

"Sorry. Carry on Your Majesty."

"Ok. An unknown being wants to take control of Kingdom Hearts. As most of you should know, me and Sora locked the original Kingdom Hearts and the second was practically destroyed by Sora and Riku. However, It is looking for a way to open the door of the original one again as well as repair the second. This will mean It will have an uncontrollable amount of power. And why do I keep calling It It? Because we have no idea as to what It is. And we have no idea what it is planning. Think of it like playing chess but only being able to see your pieces. Any questions?"

"Yes, um...what's Kingdom Hearts?" I expected them to bust out laughing but they all kept a straight face.

"It's the heart of all worlds. Where everything begins and ends." Riku answered. I gasped. It had just been kicked up a notch.

"Wait, you said there were two, so why do you keep saying "it"?" This time Kairi answered.

"The second was a copy, nothing more. Xemnas created it so that the Nobodies could all get a heart." Kairi paused for a moment. "I've just realized what his name's an anagram of. Write it backwards, then put the "s" in front of the "e" and the "m" before the "a"."

"Sounds like something you two will be doing soon." Riku said, grinning.

"Xemnas, sanmex, anmsex, mansex..." Sora paused. "OY!" he finally shouted, before trying to punch Riku. I managed to hold him back, but he still managed to give Riku a glare that actually made him cringe. I laughed.

"Break it up guys!" The King intervened. "Save your fighting for the Heartless. And Nobodies."

"Wait, is there another Organization out there?"

"Not yet. But enough talking here. We're nearly at Disney Castle. So take a seat and buckle in."


So we all sat back down where we were for take-off. I looked outside of my window to see a sphere of rock covered in lush gardens. There was also a humongous castle. The sheer size took my breath away.

"Big, isn't it?" Sora whispered in my ear. I nodded. Then we flew through an entrance at the bottom of the sphere and flew up into a loading bay of sorts. I noticed the huge number of gummi ships.

"What are all those for?" I asked.

"The other people brought here to talk about the crisis were picked up in them. How else do you think they could get here? After all, Riku's the only one left who can use Dark Corridors at will."

"Wait, other people?"

"Well, most of them are people. We needed a representative from every world so we had to tell some of them about the existence of other worlds. You'll find some good friends of your's, Sora, as well as some you'd rather never see again. Anyway, come this way."


Yes, this and the next episode is just plot development and the introduction of characters. And cookies go to whoever can guess who the people Sora would prefer never to see again are first.

Anyway, review and make me happy. Your reviews make my world go round. Oh, and I may add a character of my own creation at some point in these chapters. I know, "shock-horror" and all that but please continue reading and make me happy by reviewing.
