(A/N) To enhance the flow of the story, I am now hunting for BETA me for those who are interested.

Chapter 3: A Blast to the Past

As Sora wins the battle, the others were celebrating. Donald and Goofy were assisting Sora for his injuries. Mickey doing the same on Riku.

"Sora!" Donald and Goofy replied. "Are you okay?" Donald added as he throws in an Elixir onto the winner.

"Yeah. I'm good." He said, hesitating.

Master Yen Sid teleports them back to the tower.

"Sora." Yen Sid said, grabbing Sora's attention immediately.

"I congratulate you for winning this battle. This serves as a breakthrough on our proprietary mission; to defeat Master Xehanort and seal Kingdom Hearts once and for all."

"Thank you, Master. But there is something I need to talk about, privately." Sora replied.

"I understand," Yen Sid answered. He then looks on Mickey and the others. "If you mind."

"Okay." They said. "See you later, Sora." They added as Riku closes the door. It was nearly closed when Sora butted in.

"Hey, Riku! You're included in this." Sora added.

"Okay." Riku replied.

"What's the matter?" Yen Sid said.

"When I was giving my all into my last attack earlier, I noticed someone saying "Release me…" I knew that wasn't from anyone of us. So I wondered, where in the world did that came –" Sora said.

"Stop right there, young boy. I heard enough. What I will do will clear up your mind." Yen Sid butted in as he casted a spell into the two, making them look like in a deep trance. Both of them heard voices.

Sora's POV

"Open the door."

*static noise*

"Friends forever."

*static noise*

"Our union was not completed."

*static noise*

"Whatever it takes. Anything to save Terra and Aqua."

Sora woke up from the trance, holding his head like crazy. Because of the hurt that he's receiving, he was forced to kneel down.

Riku's POV

"Use the Keyblade!"

"Your body submits, your heart succumse, yet why does your mind still resist!"

"My name is Master Aqua. Give my friend's heart back, or pay the price!"

"Go!"

Riku woke up, surprised from the voices of the past.

"Well, did that help?" Yen Sid asked. "Those are the memories of the people who encountered Xehanort."

"Not much," Sora said. "That still doesn't answer the question."

"I see. Perhaps this task will help you very well." Yen Sid replied. "Find the people who are currently hurt and needs to be rescued. So far, none of them were identified. But they are close friends to both of you."

"Both of us?" Riku said.

"Yes," Yen Sid called out. "To make your mission even easier, you need to unlock the seven keyholes to the Keyblade Graveyard."

"Okay. We will." Both of them replied.

Finally, A decent chapter! Well not as decent as you thought but more of these will come on later dates. One again, R&R, give me suggestions through PM and find me a BETA reader.
