Chapter III

Gummi Ship

"Sora, wake up, oh Sora, WAKE UP!" Yelled Master Xana in Sora's ear which caused him to scream as he tumbled down his bed and summoned his Keyblade as if Heartless just attacked

"HA hahahaha, man that was good, but never mind that, breakfast is ready." Master Xana then left to the kitchen. 'huh, he seems more like an Anax than a Sora, but meh it's not like anything bad can happen from it... "SON OF A BITCH! I had to say that!" Yelled an agitated Xana as he walked in the kitchen and sit down grumpily as he eats his scrambles. "Uh, Master Xana, whats with the grumpy attitude." "I think, I might have jinxed us Riku" Said Xana who just finished his plate of scrambled quickly and puts it in the sink.

"meet me in the cockpit, we're almost at Radiant Garden." Master Xana said as he left the kitchen to the cockpit.

"Hey Kairi."

"yes Riku?"

"I have something to tell you?" Riku asked a bit hesitantly

"And that would be."

"Have you seen Sora at all. He never misses breakfast." Riku said wondering where he is right now until

ironically

"I'm here guys *pant* got a little lost in *pant* the halls. so what'd I miss?" Asked Sora as he got a plate of Scrambles and sat down.

"Well for our mornings, Xana yelled in my mind, Kairi had a regular one. For breakfast, Master Xana swore about something he said, most likely about him jinxing us, but I have no clue to what he even said." Riku explained what else had happened until they heard Master Xana on the speakers.

"all of you , meet me in the cockpit, the world is in view. I repeat, the world is in view." Called Master Xana

Cockpit

Sora, Kairi, and Riku arrived in the cockpit, and are amazed to see, Radiant garden (Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep format) back to its old self.

"yup, that is definitely the same Radiant Garden I saw 12 years ago, but never mind that. (starts typing in the communications) Cid Highwind come in, this is Gummi ship, Remnant-02, captain of this ship is Xana. I have the three Keyblade wielders with me right now, requesting to la-"

"quit your talking Xana, we get it that you're here, just find Merlin's house an' land in the Backyard of his house, it's about as empty as the geezers head. *STATIC* Quit throwing yer books at me ya old cook,"

"Well I suggest you apologize"

"I ain't apologizing, ya old birdbrain."

"Birdbrain, well how bout I show you a birdbrain hmph."

"*STATIC*"

... OK that was random, Everyone on the ship was either speechless from what happened or dumbfounded until

"Hi Xana, sorry but there is some slight problems going on. Merlin change Cid back right now! Sorry but you are going to-" Communications have ended and everyone was still left dumbfounded at the random event.

"I will head to the controls now and land this ship. everyone strapon." Master Xana said weakly and still dumbfounded "Aye" said the trio, still dumbfounded as they sit in their seats and buckled up.

Radiant Garden (Behind Merlin's House)

Xana's Gummi Ship landed behind Merlin's house, as they left the Gummi Ship. Something Mysteriously Went past Everyone and took Sora away Blur leaving the wind to catch up. after a second there was a crash sound coming from the wall. Everyone turned their heads to see Yuffie (KH II outfit) literary hugging the life out of Sora again.

"Y-Yuffie. C-can't breathe." Choked Sora as he try to pry Yuffie off.

"*Sigh* Yuffie please get off of Sora. I need him alive if I need to bring Anax back, and Bell." The last part seemed more serious which Yuffie listened to and let go Sora from her death hug.

"I swear every girl I meet has a death hug."

"Wait Yuffie, how do you know about Master Xana?" Question Sora

"Well, Master Xana did helped and try to defend Radiant Garden against the heartless, oh and because he saved me." the ninja said cheerfully, but Xana put his head down and said " ya and that was the day Anax died, by that bastard. I just want to (pebbles started to lift from the ground and static started appearing around Xana) Hunt him down and make him SUFFER!(shoots a black beam in the sky roaring angrily) *Pant* and make sure he gets my fury for defiling Bell's grave." Xana's rage caused everyone to fall to the ground, debris is scattered, and the Gummi Ship is leaning on one of the houses.

"I'm going to Ansem's study if anyone needs me" Xana said as he disappeared

"Um, Yuffie."

"Ya Sora."

"before we do any introductions, is Xana always like this ever since Anax died?" Sora questioned

"Nah, he is only like that because he has the emotions of another person flowing through him, so technically. He's twice as emotional." Yuffie said cheerfully

"Well, at least we know why he has random mood swings. But now that is out of the way. Do any of you remember Kai-"

"OH MY GOD, Kairi! (pushes Sora out of the way, or if anime runs him over reminding everyone of the flatten Donald scene in KH I) It has been so long since any of us has seen each other. And you look so beautiful too *squeal*"

"Now, Yuffie. You're acting like a little girl then what you say "a mature adult" A certain Brown haired scarred man said

"Now you are just being a meany Leon." Yuffie said backing off now.

"OK guys, this is Riku."

"hi." Riku said flatly

Sora then looked at the others and noticed a penguin with a cigar on his mouth. "Oh sorry me lad, forgot to change Cid back." The wizard said waving his wand and changing the penguin into a man in his forties with blonde hair " finally, you turned me back ya old man" Cid said tauntingly.

"oh way I ought a."

"Cid, Merlin, No more fighting or I'll travel across my realm to yours and rip your skeletons right out of your bodies and hang your fleshy heads in a pillar. ya got that you go- *Yells in pain* ow ow ow ow. c'mon quit that"

a mysterious voice yelled/shrieked had caused everyone to shiver and quickly go inside. When they got inside. Sora was amazed to see that the whole place has gotten bigger. Cid's computer has gotten bigger and more advanced. there was a living room now, with a flat screen plasma screen TV. a kitchen and a second floor with bedrooms, including a kitchen.

"Well everyone, welcome to the new and improve Radiant Garden Restoration Committee's new and improved base." Yuffie exclaimed as she appeared in the living room with a grin on her face

"But wait. where's Aerith Yuffie." Asked Sora

"She's at the castle in the library, if you're wondering. We were supposed to discussed things about bringing Anax back from the dead. But with Xana cooling off, I'd say we have about 2 hours till he cools off." Answered Leon as he opens the doors and walks out only to stop and say "So, you have some free time. Meet us in the library in two hours, until then, have fun." and with that Leon left

"Well, what do we do till then." Riku asked.

"how bout you kids go out and explore the place, Yuffie can show Kairi around, there win win, now get out so I can work in peace!" Cid yelled as he starts to get working on whatever it is he is working on.

"Well, then, I'll show Kairi around. (grabs Kairi by the wrist) C'mon Kairi let's go shopping." Yuffie then pulls Kairi and run outside to the shopping district.

"Women this is why I don't marry anyone, that and because I'm a- *Screams in pain* you ripped out my balls Mu- *Screams*"

Yelled the interfering tailed moron who is ruining my story with his interference. But continuing on Riku decided he would find Master Xana, and Sora decided to buy something.

Riku's POV

Riku was walking around Radiant Garden looking for Xana but ends up finding dead ends, thugs, and... Otaku shops?

"...What is an Otaku shop doing in a dead end. Never mind, I need to search higher. (jumps onto a rooftop) There now that's better. (hears running. turns around) "W-What the hell!?" Riku saw a bunch of nobodies around 20 or 25 chasing a girl with blonde hair, has a cloak which blocks most of her features, except her aura, which Riku can sense. When Riku sensed her aura, he noticed she has almost no darkness in her heart except a tiny flicker.

"C'mon you slow poke nobodies. I thought you could do better." the blonde said as she dodged the incoming attacks with ease only to sigh "C'mon you are no fun."

unaware to the blonde. A nobody jumped behind her only to be cut down by Riku's The Way To Dawn. "What's a little girl like you being chased by Nobodies." Riku however didn't get a response because his head was nearly slashed clean off by the girl who summoned... A KEYBLADE!

"Xehanort, I thought Xana put you into another dimension last week." growled the girl who held a Keyblade with gears, clockworks, and cogs.

The guard of the Keyblade has one half of a gear on each side hollowed. the handle of the blade is copper. the shaft has a long arrow on one side, with the smaller one on the other. The middle of the shaft has a bunch of cogs and gears turning. The Skeleton Key of it is one big gear that is turning, while the key-chain is two gears turning.

"X-Xehanort, wait I'm not Xehanort. He's my enemy." Yelped Riku as he dodges both slashes of the blonde and nobodies.

"Ya, like I'll ever fall for that, you have silver hair Xehanort." The blonde said shocking Riku

'Huh so that's what Xana feels when someone says that, well similar to that.' Riku then blocked a blow from the Girl and shot a nobody with dark fire, knocked the girl back and slashed the nobodies away, while the Girl was down. "Look, Xehanort is an old man, I'm not an old man and I certainly am not evil!"

"Th-then, you must be one of his lackeys. Though I do admit, you are kinda cute." the blonde said , muttering the last part to herself. blushing lightly as she quickly shook her head and starts rushing at Riku with her Keyblade held high, but was soon to be missed as Riku stepped aside. The blonde continued her assault at Riku, but missed every time. 'Is this for real. This girl has absolutely no skill at all, and she doesn't know how to use-' "SHIT!" Riku yelled as he is at the edge of a tall building. 'how the hell did we get this high up!'

The blonde started running towards Riku yelling as she was about to strike him, but tripped on her own two feet and in slow motion, she kissed Riku accidentally on the lips which caused both of them to start falling off the building.

'WHAT THE #$%! DID THAT JUST #$%ING HAPPENED'

As Riku is falling, he saw the blonde chanting something and stopped falling, and started to fly away.

"Oh and if you live Xehanort's lackey, my name Is Alice."

"You have gotta be-"

Riku was cut off as he crash landed into a dumpster.

Kairi's POV

'I wonder what got Yuffie this excited Nam.'

I don't know Kairi, but we are going shopping. Isn't that great! Exclaimed Namine

"Hey Kairi. Do you have a crush on Xana." Yuffie said still smiling as they walk towards the shopping district.

"WAIT, WHAT!" Screamed Kairi who is either infuriated that Yuffie would even asked that or confused.

"Just, Kidding." Yuffie said with the same smile. " I was actually going to ask if you have a crush on Sora, Kairi."

"Oh (blushes lightly). Truthfully, I do have a crush on Sora, Yuffie." Kairi said with the blush still on her face while she heard Yuffie say that she knew it. "Oh here we are Kairi. welcome to the Radiant Garden Shopping District!" Yuffie said showing the new market.

"Whoa" Both said Kairi and Namine

"Let's go Shopping" all three of them said.

After 1 hours and 30 minutes worth of shopping and ninja incidents, not saying any names. They all bought a bunch of stuff and are on their way to the castle.

until...

a bunch of heartless appeared around the market causing panic throughout the citizens there. Kairi got her Keyblade out and Yuffie got a huge shuriken out too and prepared to fight the heartless. As the Heartless jumped to attack them, a few got wiped out by Kairi, a bunch got sliced by Yuffie's shuriken. But there were still a lot of heartless surrounding them.

"OK. just how many heartless are surrounding us?" Yelled Kairi as she blocked a soldier's attack and sliced them away

"About 127, I think." cried a teenage boy. as he jumped between Kairi and Yuffie causing them to fall to the ground in surprise. "looks like you're already on the ground good. Flame Dragonion Knights: Roar!" yelled the teenager as he released an attack similar to master Xana except in a tornado formation and is made of fire. "now that felt much better, releasing all that power. But there are still flying heartless." The teenage boy then summons the Hidden Dragon, and starts slashing the heartless away.

"YEEE HHAAAAAAAAAAW!" Yelled the teenager as he starts riding a living bone and slashing the remaining heartless.

After the fight

"Now that was fun." Cried the teenager while Kairi and Yuffie were getting up

"UH, just who are you." asked Kairi as she dismissed her Keyblade

"Oh, forgot that you were there. The names Tyson Draconem. What's your names" Tyson said as he holds his hand out.

"my names Kairi. and this is Yuffie" "Hiya" said Kairi.

then Yuffie said "Kairi, huh... where have I heard that-*screams in pain.*" Screamed Tyson as he was just electrocuted by a knife hitting him in the shoulder

A mysterious girl in a cloak suddenly appears through a corridor of darkness.

"what the, (takes knife out o shoulder) Larxene. Wait I thought Xana trapped you in another dimension!"

"You think that old geezer can trap the Organization in another dimension Guess again." Said Larxene as she throw more daggers at Tyson but was deflected by Kairi's magic.

"Oh ya woman, you got another thing coming!" Yelled Yuffie as she got ready to attack Larxene.

"I don't have time to waist with you kids. All I came for was to say hi." Waved Larxene as she disappeared

"Cure" Tyson said as the magic heals his arm "Oh and have any of seen a guy who has black hair and goes by the name Xana." Tyson said dismissing his Keyblade.

Both Kairi and Yuffie said that their going to meet up with him by now.

"Cool so can I tag along, I have to talk to him about something." Tyson said grinning

"Ok."

"Wait, Xana has black hair?"

"Ya he looks like a 17 year old with a chiseled eight pack, messy black hair and always has something related to murder on his mind."

SORA'S POV

Sora started walking around to find Master Xana and buy something for Kairi.

"Hey Sora I have an idea for a present for Kairi." Roxas pronounced

"Ya what's the idea Roxas?" Sora said walking around the market looking

" Buy Kairi a wedding ring!" Roxas shouted causing Sora to fall from shock

"WHAT THE HELL ROXAS! YOU TRYING TO GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK!" Sora shouted in anger causing everyone around him to look at him strangely causing Sora to blush in embarrassment.

Until he heard a the same voice back then. 'Yo Zola if you're going to buy a present for your bride *insane laughter* keep going straight then turn right where you'll see a run down store, there you will talk to a man that is as old as Anax's ancestor Energeia, but his real name is phronesis. He'll interest you in a special necklace similar to Anax *screams in pain by me in complete FURY FOR RUINING SOme of my story.* Alright, Alright it's a very pretty Necklace that costs 100,000,00 Munny.'

Sora and Roxas stood there dumbfounded at what the hell had just happened

"Should We trust him Sora." Roxas said still dumbfounded

"Only way to know is to find out." Sora said still dumbfounded and started to follow the voices direction until he reached the stand.

"Ah Hello mister what can I interest you in" the shop keeper said as Sora is looking around until he saw a necklace. When he picked it up, it said

"No Matter we are, no matter which world you're on, The light in your heart shall guide me to you." said the carvings on the necklace

After Sora read that he asked the shopkeeper for how much it costed. "100,000,00 munny sir" said the shopkeeper shocking Sora "but since I hadn't had a customer in a while, I will give it to you for free." the Shopkeeper said

After Sora had the necklace in a package, he decided to head to the castle but turned around to thank the shopkeeper, only to find him and his shop disappear and saying. "You better not die like the last hero did child." sending shivers down Sora's back

When Sora decided to head to the castle he was attacked by a man in a black coat holding a purple gun.

Sora quickly dodged it quickly and see who was shooting at him, only to find Xigbar as the culprit.

"Xigbar!" Sora shouted, as he summoned the Keyblade and keeping Kairi's present close to him.

"well hello boy, you behaving well. (Sora grunts at Xigbar) Guess not, oh well. I gotten a lot stronger than the last time we fought. And I'll prove it." Xigbar shouted as he raises his hands into the air and yells. "Dance my guns, infinity guns, APEIRON!" Xigbar shouted once again.

when the guns were about to fire someone shouted. "Uh lookout fella!" yelled the extremely familiar voice as a shield with a dog on top hit Xigbar on the head blowing away his focus and causing all the guns disappeared. The dog landed beside Sora with the same smile.

"well hi there Sora." The dog said

"Goofy it's great to see you" Sora said happily hugging his his dog like friend.

"WHAAAAAAAAACK, Thunder!" Cried a somewhat inaudible voice causing lightning to strike Xigbar knocking him off his feet.

"Sora, it's gweat to see you again." said the duck that appeared right beside Sora, causing to jump back in surprise.

" Ah, Donald where did you come from." said Sora surprised.

"I walked beside you." Donald said plainly.

"Grr, I was hoping to use Sora as a test dummy but I guess I can't." Xigbar said as he disappeared into a corridor of darkness.

"Say Sora What's that gift for." Goofy asked wanting to know who the present is for.

"It's for Kairi, the gift cost abo-" Sora however couldn't finish because Donald and Goofy whispered out loud.

"Hey Donald do ya think Sora is finally going to tell Kairi his feelings." Goofy whispered to Donald

'It's a birthday gift' Sora thought and made Roxas giggle from Goofy's comment

"No, I think it's a wedding ring Goofy." Donald said and that caused Roxas to laugh hysterically. and Sora to yell "It's a birthday present and that's not going to happen till were old enough, Donald!" Sora yelled while Blushing like a tomato at thought.

"Oh, yeah Sora do ya wanna to come back to the castle with us." Goofy said with Sora agreeing, Donald however made Sora more embarrassed by saying.

"He admits to proposing to Kairi." Donald said in a sing song voice.

"Donald!"

XANA'S POV

"thanks for letting me read here Aerith" Xana said thanking Aerith

"No Problem Xana. but when are you leaving" Aerith asked

"Probably, next week seeing as time moves differently in the re-"

"GUESS WHO." Cried a high pitched voice

"Son of a Bitch."
