Youko hurried inside her house, and then she opened the door to her basement. In the basement, she knew that nobody would see her. The middle-aged woman hurried down the dark staircase as fast as she could. Her low heel shoes collided with the floor to create a clinging sound whenever she stepped down onto another step down. Along with the sound of her shoes, the sound of a beating could be heard slowly growing louder and louder as time slipped by.
"The Keyblade War...The X-blade...Xehanort clearly figured out how to possess others, so we all have to do something quick. After this, I've to make sure everybody else is safe. The worlds are starting to brink out too which can only mean one thing. If push comes to shove, we might need to...Youko, you're thinking too hard, stop thinking too hard." When she reached the bottom, Youko ran into a door. She quickly got her keys and unlocked it.
"What is it that you're doing?"
"Ansem, how is it that you can talk to me, you pedo? It's not like you know that much about my own secrets anyways. I'm looking at the information passed down through your family as you should know," responded Youko. "If you don't know what it is, then you should've waited to get off the island. Only people above the age of eighteen can even know about the very existence of this information." On a table, a book could be seen. It's cover read the Secret of the Foremasters.
"The lost masters..." The heartless's voice wondered off. "Those are the people Master used to talk about. The people who created the almighty darkness."
"I need to actually get her help. Why did things have to come to this? I mean, I know he'll be mad and all...oh, I've to actually get there first." With a wave of her hand, Youko summoned a corridor of darkness in front of her. She dashed into it. "Something has to be done about this! I can't have your other self get his way!"
"You're seriously doing this? Even I, the Seeker of Darkness himself, knows that this is futile! She's only going to use you and caste you to the side! What are you thinking?" Ignoring him, Youko closed the portal behind her. She began to walk through another section of the house. It was a room filled with cages, and only one of them had been occupied during the time.
"Maria, it's your time to come out now."
"How long I waited to hear that. Wait, I haven't seen you before, and you don't have the yellow eyes. Guess you married into the family or were lucky enough to not be born bearing them. I'm so glad to meet somebody else now," Maria said. She smiled, her lips twisted. Her hair was an unnatural shade of pink, and it made the young woman stand out from everything else which was pale and dark. The yellow eyes placed on her pale yet dirty face also shined in the darkness of the lady's cell. All Maria was wearing was a torn up brown jumpsuit that just barely had any liking to a prison uniform.
"To defeat somebody with the power of possession, you must have somebody else with the same thing."
"Xehanort? I always knew he would be the reason I would get out of here. He's such a sweet boy, isn't he?" Maria grinned even more than before. "I know he's doing something wonderful if you want to finally release me from here. My butt was seriously starting to hurt from sitting on this stone."
"Wait, don't you need to get permission from the head of the family to do something like this-"
"Ansem, or should I say Xehanort's Heartless, I am the head of the family. If you don't remember, your little stunt almost killed all of your family, you psycho pedo," whispered Youko so the prisoner could not hear her. She got out her keys again, and the woman's hands begun to shake. Maria's stare right then could pierce the souls of the hardest of men. Something about it did not seem quite right, in fact nothing about her seemed quite right. There was this aura of sorts coming off her that was some messed up mix of despair, hope, sadism, and misery. The most unsettling thing was actually the hope.
"Oh, you're the head of the family, huh? Don't try to hide anything from me, since I already know everything." The younger girl's face became more serious. "Doing something like that is like a death sentence with me around."
"Yeah! It's a weird world! Now we just need to find the magical, talking, flying dolphins!" exclaimed Kairi, who was now wearing the infamous black coat with the hood down. She was a doll reason of herself, so nothing much changed other than her size and what the girl was made out of. The both of them were in what appeared to be a backyard of sorts. It was just a normal house, yet the two warriors were smaller than usual, considering their changed bodies. Because of the white fence surrounding them, the redhead wondered about how they were going to get out of there.
"I must've jinxed myself," Riku complained. He was also a doll, and, unlike his cheering friend, the boy sighed. Before they could learn anything else about the world, a bunch of heartless appeared around them. "Well, at least we aren't learning the secrets of the universe here."
"Let's show them our stuff! After that, we'll search for the secrets of the universe! Who knows, that could be what the heartless are hiding or something? Their master is the true mastermind of all the pain and suffering throughout all of the many, unique worlds! And that means that we have to take these guys down!" Kairi summoned Lost Promises while Riku had Soul Eater. "I'll take on the ones on the left, so the right side is entirely yours. Have fun!"
"It's time for you to pay the price of eating people's hearts!"
"That line is so not you, Riku," teased Kairi. She flipped her hair.
"Had to try it once, you know." A dark fire appeared in the boy's hand, and he aimed it at the heartless. Only a couple of minor shadows vanished into nothingness. A neo-shadow jumped onto him, trying to gain his heart. Riku stabbed his sword through it's shadow-like flesh. Then, using his magic once again, Riku raised the ground beneath the feet of many of his enemies. They all stumbled around while some disappeared forever.
Meanwhile, Kairi charged straight into her hoard of heartless. "Time to show you what I'm made of! This is why you don't leave me behind!" She swung her keyblade around like it was lighter than air, and Kairi dodged an attack from a nearby darkball. A neoshadow popped out of the ground near the girl's feet. When it grabbed a hold of her, the warrior kicked it off. Then, to finish it, she stabbed Lost Promises through it's body, no remorse in the fatal strike.
"Interesting, only pureblood heartless are here. It's been like that for a while now. Do you think something happened to the emblems?" the Princess commented. The two friends joined back together for the small amount of remaining heartless.
"I wonder who is calling heartless upon this world anyways. By what I see of it, this world seems quite peaceful. Well, besides for the elephant in the room that we're currently dealing with." Riku, who saw the minor wound on his companion's leg, healed her. She nodded her head, and her pale thumb went up.
"After we do this, we can think about that while solving the mysteries of the universe! This isn't the right time!" Their hands touched as the friends' bodies both started to float in the air.
"That joke is getting old. Running gags aren't really your thing, Kairi. Whatever, its about time to end this!" Riku shouted. They joined the two weapons together, and an attack of earth and sea surrounded them. It quickly devoured all the the heartless foolish enough to walk over to them. Only a couple heartless remained since all the others were defeated by the limit. Kairi hurried up to them and slashed through their dark bodies.
"That was easier than I thought it would be." Kairi's keyblade vanished into nothingness. "Hey, Riku, can I ask you something?"
"Yeah, what is it?"
"Where do keyblades go when we send them off? I mean, do they just disappear into thin air, or do they go into another dimension? For all we know, they might actually end up in Kingdom Hearts itself!" Both of them remained silent. They both tried to think about something, but nothing really came up.
"I guess that would be a better question to ask King Mickey than me. I don't even have the right to yield my own keyblade yet," Riku answered. "Come on, let's figure out where we are."
Mickey could sense that something went wrong. A powerful darkness was somewhere, but he had no idea where it was or what it could possibly be. It disturbed the King greatly.
"Only if Sora, Donald, and Goofy could be here. Where could those three possibly run off to?" Then, suddenly, Queen Minnie ran into the room, a mixture of worry and delight written all over her face. Her pink dress shifted around as she hurried over to her lover. She had a note in her hands, so Mickey took it after kissing his wife's cheek.
"This person really wants to see you." Queen Minnie's dark-colored eyes drifted onto the white floor. The king quietly read the letter. His black eyes going left to right, and he stared deeply onto the piece of paper.
"DiZ...he has finally appeared again. He's in Twilight Town. If you don't mind Minnie, can you please look after the kingdom for me once again?"
"Yes, Mickey," she replied solemnly. When they were done talking, Mickey walked out of there.
"Only if you could stay here longer...Xehanort, why are you doing this?" Minnie stepped out of the library shortly afterwards.
Then, before they could do anything, Kairi and Riku noticed that somebody was walking outside. Not wanting to be caught, they laid themselves on the grass.
"Why are we doing this?" the boy questioned. "This seems like a waste of time!"
"I just have a feeling this is the right thing to do," answered Kairi. A kid, who probably lived at the house, skipped out the door, holding two toys, one cowboy and a space ranger. She had short brown hair and a outfit that was a little bit mismatched. She twirled around while laughing when she stepped on Riku on accident.
"This is the most amount of pain I've felt in my life, and I've been possessed for God's sake! Being possessed burns your chest like..." His voice could hardly be heard because of his current crushing crisis. Riku tried to use his little hands to push off her foot.
"I'm sure it'll go away soon," comforted Kairi with a whisper. Her slight smile was enough to make Riku feel at least a little bit better.
"Huh? Mom, I've found something! Mom!" the girl yelled. She grabbed both of the dolls, placing them in her hands with her other toys. "Mom!" For some reason, her mom could not hear her, so the little girl entered the house again. In the connecting room, the little girl placed all of the toys onto the a wooden table and left them to be.
"Um...we're toys. I knew that, but it's still strange to me," Riku said to his friend. They got in sitting positions on the end of the table.
"I actually like it. Mickey did say to enjoy ourselves whenever we can, and this is the time. I've a feeling situations like this won't come very often. Just be glad we're not like spit or something weird like that-"
"Excuse me, but what exactly are you two talking about?" the cowboy asked. Both of them jumped when they saw that the duo from before were now standing up all by themselves.
"Nothing," the boy answered, rubbing the back of his head.
"Well, anyways, I'm Kairi and he's Riku. We're from somewhere that's far away from here. May I ask what your names are?" the redhead introduced themselves. She got up, so Riku followed her lead.
"I'm Woody and this feller here is Buzz Lightyear." He then stared at the both of them. "Excuse me, but are y'all related somehow to the other people in the black coats that came here? One of them...really pushed my buttons."
"The Organization was here?" they asked at the same time. Riku could feel the smallest inch of sweat coming down his forehead while Kairi tried to stop herself from shaking too much.
Requiem-So...this isn't the longest chapter in the world, but my depression is like...I want to be a jerk. :_( This isn't the time. I just can't write when I'm depressed.
Vanitas-...Stop being so personal on here. Anyways, Requiem here hopes you like this chapter nevertheless.
Requiem-Well, if you want me to get personal, I can always tell them about my psycho cousin-
Vanitas-This is K...plus (well, now it's T, so...nope). Let's just change the subject.
Requiem-Okay, so this is going to be a lot like Birth by Sleep where it is now spit between three stories. The first one being Rikai, second Sonami, third Rokushi. It's just better paced that way. :D Yep, Riku and Kairi are indeed in the Toy Story world.
Vanitas-Leave a review or something to support this idiot. Bye, friends! Wait, I'm sounding like Ven! NO!
