I don't own anything in here but Commander A.K and the plot, 'kay?

Chapter 1: The Letter

Sora woke up in a panic, slamming his head on the wall. "Owwwww…" he mumbled, rubbing the newly-forming lump. He stood up and opened the curtains, letting light flood into his cavernous room. Technically speaking it wasn't his room, but it was still a presidential suite in a really fancy hotel, so he didn't mind.

The room was furnished in a garish baby blue, with a massive bed in the far corner. Sora and Riku had been sleeping on the floor on opposite sides of the bed for the whole night. Kairi was sleeping in the bed under several layers of cushions and blankets.

"Ow, my eyes… get rid of the light, Sora…" Riku moaned, throwing a large blue pillow at his friend.

"We've gotta get moving, you guys. If those Imperial freaks catch up to us, we're toast. It's already ten o' clock," Sora explained, "And I know you don't want to stay here. We missed the buffet." Sora added, throwing the pillow back at Riku.

"We WHAT?" Riku yelled, suddenly standing up, fully dressed and packed. Sora beamed.

"Now that I have your attention…" Sora started, "Let's wake Kai up and get the heck out of this dump."

Riku grinned evilly, "Lets."

The two boys moved to one side of the giant bed. They sunk their hands under the mattress and pulled upwards. Kairi tumbled to the other side of the mattress, saved by the tightly tucked-in sheets. "What the hell was that for?" she yelled.

Sora grinned and put his hands behind his head. "Well, see, its two in the afternoon and you weren't up, so we figured…" He was cut off as Kairi leapt out of bed and started to get dressed and pack.

"Why didn't you get me up earlier? We could be on the next world by now! You stupid boys, why can't you ever take anything seriously? If Riku gets caught…" she muttered, as she packed up. "All done! Now let's go!" She grabbed them both and dragged them out of the hotel and into the Gummi Ship.

"What's up, Kairi?" Chip squeaked over the microphone.

"These idiots waited until two in the afternoon to wake me up and now the Imperials could come and take them away and I'd have no one to beat up for being idiots!" Kairi yelled.

"And the winner or the longest and most melodramatic sentence is… Kairi!" Sora whispered into Riku's ear.

"Miss Kairi, it's only nine thirty." Dale squeaked, obviously confused.

"Is it now?" she hissed, turning to Sora and Riku, who were laughing in the corner.

The large white ship above the heroes watched as the bright red Gummi Ship launched through the stratosphere of the world below. Its commander, a blue-skinned humanoid in a white jumpsuit stared intently at a holographic display panel with an image of the cave on Destiny Islands displayed prominently.

"Shall I give the order to attack, sir?" A white-haired man asked from the bridge deck.

"No, let them go, but hold here for a few more minutes. Saffron?" he asked.

A woman with red hair and a devious look in her eyes walked out from behind the command chair. "Yes, Admiral?" she asked.

"Follow the red Gummi Ship over there. Don't make contact with its crew. Continue pursuing it until I give you further commands. Is that clear?" the blue male asked.

"Yes, Admiral." She said, nodding and vanishing into the shadows.

"A.K. Commander A.K, do you copy?" The blue-skinned man said into a microphone.

"Loud and clear, Admiral. What's up?" A heavily scarred young man in black armor replied his face and shoulders replacing the image of the cave.

"Take your mercenary group and follow the ship that's about to leave the Chimera's hold. Make sure she doesn't do anything stupid in her pursuing of the Keys.

"Sure thing, boss." The man stated, severing the holographic transmission.

The blue-skinned man smirked. This was almost too easy.

On a nearby world, a man in a red jumpsuit used spiderweb to swing from building to building while following a green-armored man on a hoverboard of some sort.

Suddenly the spider person slammed onto the pavement of a back alley. He lifted himself up and looked around. "Hello? I am Spiderman, defender of this city, and I'm not afraid to…" he was cut off as an invisible force slammed him into a wall and tore off his mask. "Who are you?" he asked in a hoarse whisper.

A man suddenly appeared out of the shadows. He was dressed in a heavy fur coat and a baseball cap obscured his face. He reached out a hand and Spiderman was lifted into the air. The assailant slowly ran on finger in the air, pointing at Spiderman's scalp. As he did so, Spiderman's head split open, blood spilling over the walls and floor of the alleyway. The scalp popped of and the man in the coat lifted the superhero's brain into the air, splitting it into small chunks. "Easy." He said as he started to eat.

"Heartless, dead ahead!" Riku yelled from the pilot's seat of the Gummi Ship.

"Kai, you know we were just joking around about the whole two in the afternoon thing, right?" Sora asked Kairi.

"Yeah, Sora. We needed to move and that kind of thing gets me out of bed quick. Just don't do it again, alright?" she replied.

Sora leaned back and, amid the fighting, recalled how they had gotten into this mess.

Flashback

Riku and Sora were on the small island when Kairi came running up to them. "Mail call!" she yelled. "This came for you, Sora." She added, handing him a letter with King Mickey's seal on it.

Sora,

I can only hope that this letter reaches you in time. Even as I write, Disney Castle is under attack by the Emperor. He knows your importance and will to anything to turn you over to his side. Do not listen to anything he says. He's a madman, and will stop at nothing to see you under his command. He's already sent out a draft notice to Riku, and will likely arrive at Destiny Islands shortly after this letter. Get as far away as possible, and don't stop moving. Chip and Dale will be there soon with the Gummi Ship. Get away.

Yours,

King Mickey

"Well this sucks." Sora stated after everyone had read the letter.

"I can't go into the army! I could die!" Riku moaned.

"Well you heard the King. We had better pack up our stuff. Meet you back here in an hour." Kairi said, and marched off before anyone could argue.

"Here we go again, huh, Riku." Sora said and looked up. He could see a trail of dust that, presumably, was Riku.

Sora reached home soon after. He walked upstairs without saying anything to his mom about what was going to happen. In his room, he packed up his belongings and locked the suitcase with his Keyblade. When he got down the stairs, his mom was tidying up in the entry hall. "What's the suitcase for, sweetie?" she asked, dusting an antique driftwood chair.

Sora took a deep breath before answering, "I'm leaving again, mom. There's a bunch of really bad people coming, and King Mickey had arranged a way for me to get out of here and eventually stop them. I'm really sorry to leave again like this, but I have no choice."

His mother was silent for a while, and then she sighed. "I guess I can't keep you here forever. Do what you need to do. I'll be waiting here."

End Flashback

"The Heartless are gone, you guys, but there's something you should see." Riku muttered over the microphone. Sora stood up and made his way to the bridge. Looking out of the windshield, he saw one of the most dreadful sights he had ever seen.

The bombed remains of Disney Castle lay below them. Soldiers in white armor were crawling over the place, stealing what wasn't nailed down. But that wasn't the worst thing. The man who was leading them had a Keyblade!
