New Faces and Strange Places

All was quiet in Traverse Town. The people of the city were enjoying the clear sky and cool breeze. Pinocchio was out and about while the pupet maker stayed up hopping the boy was behaving. Pinocchio played in district three because he enjoyed how empty it was. He looked up at the clear sky.

"Millions and millions of stars." He was enchanted by the balls of light. "Hey a star just went out! I have to tell papa." Pinocchio dawdled back into the first district and to his home. "Papa, Jiminy! A star went out." The ground beneath him rattled. Something had just landed in the heart of Traverse Town. Pinocchios father grabbed him tight. He was relevied to see his son was safe. "Papa a star went out!" Pinocchio and Ghepetto knew what that meant.

The people of Traverse town rushed infront of the items shop. After the smoke cleared they saw what had fallen into their humble town.

"It's a girl!" One person said. "And look! She has the Keyblade." The people of Traverse Town knew about the different worlds and the Keyblade from past experiences with the heartless.

"Go find Leon! Quick. Hurry!" The great ninja Yuffie picked the fallen girl up. She carried her into her apartment in the second district. Yuffie placed her upon the bed and waited for Leon. "She has the Keyblade. This is bad, real bad." Thoughts flooded her mind.A half hour later Leon showed up.

"You know what this means." He looked at Yuffie. She nodded her head. "We must inform Donald, Goofy, and the queen." Yuffie nodded her head again. Yuffie went to the third district to tell Merlin she needed him to send her to the queens palace. Leon stayed behind. He had to watch the new master, it was his duty.

"You majesty. A fairly young girl has fallen to our town." Yuffie pleaded her case. Donald didn't see why a fallen child was of great importance. "She has the Keyblade!" Donald now was paying attention. "This can only mean that Sora failed on his quest to destroy Ansem." The queen was grief stricken. Donald didn't want to hear any more, he left the main palace and went out to the gazebo. Goofy followed him.

"His family on Destiny Island must be told." Queen Minnie told Daisy. Daisy left the room to tell Donald and Goofy. "Ansem will only be stronger. He will be relentless in his attempts to get the Keyblade. He worked hard to get it from Sora and now that he's goneAnsem will stop at nothing to retreive it." The queen was very wise.

Donald pushed his fist into the wall. "Ah, you all right pal?" Goofy could see how the news of Sora's death had already begun to affect him.

"I let him go. I should have stopped him!" Donald was taking it hard. Goofy walked over to his pal. He placed his hand on Donalds shoulder. "He was so stubborn. He had to be the hero and hunt Ansem down alone." Donald broke down. Tears rolled down his cheeks. Goofy patted Donalds shoulder. The dog didn't say a single word. He was letting his friend work out his frustration.

"Um, Goofy, Donald." Daisy found the two in the gazebo. Donald wipped his eyes. "The queen has ask me to tell you two that Sora's family on Destiny island must be informed of his death." She looked at Goofy who swallowed the lump in his throat. "The Gummi ship is all ready for you." Goofy and Donald nodded and with out saying a single word the two went to the launch pad and set their sites on Destiny Island.

Merlins magic wore off and Yuffie was back in the magicians study. She returned to her apartment. The girl hadn't changed since she left a few hours ago. Yuffie relieved Leon of his post. Leon stepped out Yuffies place and couldn't belived what he saw. Every one the the town was in the third district holding a candle light vigle for the boy who had saved the town and thier lives. Leon always knew Sora was a fighter, a hero who would make the altamit sacrafice if the boy had to. He joined the people in their event. Leon only stood in silence, remembering Sora.

Inside Yuffies place the girl on the bed sat up. "Ah, I had the strangest nightmare ever." She told herself. Yuffie only watched her trying not to spoke her. "Who are you? What are you doing in my room!" Yoona looked around the one room appartment. She knew she was no longer in her room. "Who are you and where the heck am I?" She demanded answers.

Yuffie walked closer to Yoona. "Your in my appartment in Traverse Town." Yuffie explained.

"Whats Traverse Town and where is my home?" Yoona was still puzzled.

Yuffie sat on the bed."Listen I will start from the begining and you'll have to believe me okay? Now there are millions of planets all seperated from each other until one day the barrier that kept them seperated shattered." Yoona thought she was dreaming but continued to listen. "This man Ansem shattered it and released trillions of dark creatures out into all the worlds. The creatures are born from the darkness inside a persons heart. They are called the heartless and take many forms. Like soldiers, flame blowers, or even giant ants."

It was like a needle was jabbed in her head. Her mother and every one in her planet turned into giant ant like creature. Yoona now knew the name of the creatures.

"Ansem used them to search for this," She held up Yoonas key. "Keyblade which contains awsome strength and powerful magic."

"Why do I have it?" Yoona was now convinced her situation was real.

"Well you see the Keyblade chooses those who it feels has the stuff it takes to take on any challenge put before them or at least that is the theory. The last master seemed to fit that description." Yuffie trailed thinking about the spicky hair boy and how the last time she'd seen him he was full of life and joy knowing he stopped Ansem from destroying the planets the first time.

Yoona didn't get it. "And why do I now have it? Where is its former master?"

Yuffie straightened her back. "Well," She didn't want to frighten the child."you see the key only finds a new master when the previous one, ah, well, um, dies." Yoona had a mild panic attack. "This boy named Sora was its last weilder. Don't think about it to much." Yuffie tried to calm Yoonas nerves. "So to continue the story, the Heartless would swallow planets and take them out of existance. Sora, along with a few friends, defeated Ansem and the worlds that were lost were restored."

"Then why was my home destroyed!" Yoona was growing inpaitent.

"Sora might have defeated Ansem bbut he didn't destroy him. A few yews past and Ansem regained his strength and the control to create Heartless once again. Sora learned of this and made a jurney to find Ansem and destroy him. Sora went after Ansem alone. He told his friends it wasn't safe for them to come along and that he would call for them after he found Ansem. But Sora fought Ansem alone and by the looks of things he lost." Yuffie let a tear fall from her eye. "Ansems altamit goal was to get the Keyblade and rule the planets but he didn't know that the Keyblade chooses its master and only they can use its power." That still didn't explain what happened to her home. "When the Keyblade left to find a new master Ansem must have sent the Heartless out looking for it. "

"So the heatless destroyed my planet looking for the Keyblade." The pieces were coming together. Yoona laid back against the wall. This was way to complicated.

The door creaked opened and a tall, dark man stepped in. "I can see your guest is awake." Leon returned from Soras memorial. "You two should join the towns people outside." Yuffie took his word for it and snatched Yoonas hand. The three left the apartment to go outside.

Yuffie and Yoona joined the town outside. As people started to notice Yoona their attention turned towards her. She felt very uncomfertable with all the staring eyes. "Why is everyone staring at me?" She asked Yuffie.

Donald and Goofy arrived on Destiny Island. "It looks so serene." Goofy complemented the lovely world.

"Donald, Goofy!" A voice called to them.

The two looked at the source of the sweet voice and saw a familar face.
