KINGDOM HEARTS: CHAIN OF MEMORIES

One heart fulfills all hearts. All hearts lead to the same heart. "Kingdom Hearts." A place where the mighty heart lives. And where the darkness is endlessly deep....

Once upon a time, there were many different worlds. Each world was locked and did not intermingle. Three children wanted to escape and see the outside world. One day darkness appeared and Engulfed the worlds. Many worlds were engulfed by darkness and disappeared.

And one boy was chosen the save the worlds. The boy and his friends fought darkness and locked many doors. In another place, a lost friend was about to be swallowed by darkness, But he also had the power to overcome darkness. He lost his body and his soul was left behind on the other side of the door, leaving his loved one behind and his heart began hovering between light and darkness. The boy was able to lock the last door with the help of his friend who defeated the darkness. After his journey, the boy said goodbye to his friends and ended up in a strange place far away from home. Clues for finding his friends on the other side of the door came and went.

But the boy had friends.

And he had hope.

It was a starry night, the moon was shining and there was no sounds except the soft cackling of a lit fire and snoring from a certain dog. Only two were still wide awake instead of sleeping soundly like their other two companions but they both had so much on their minds they couldn't just close their eyes and go into the world of dreams. One of them, was the keyblade master named Sora who was laying on his back and was holding a charm his dear friend Kairi gave him into the air. He sat up and looked at his three companions who were sleeping soundly not knowing one of them was awake and staring at particularly nothing. Sora turned his attention to the fire and stared at it till Jiminy Cricket, Soras Fourth companion who joined Sora on his journey holding notes of his adventures into his Journal also known as a chronicler,spoke up. "Can't sleep? you should get some rest Sora." Sora looked down at his small friend.

"You too, Jiminy."

Jiminy sat up with his hat in his lap and looked up at Sora with a smile. "I'm all right. I'm writing a record of our journey..in my 'Jiminy Memo'" Sora picked up the small book and looked at it through a magnifying glass. "Wow, great job!" Sora handed the "Jiminy memo" back the Jiminy who look very pleased with the compliment he had gotten. "I must report our adventure to Queen Minnie when I return to the castle. It's my mission as Chronicler." Sora soon had a distant look o his face, thinking of all he had been through. From making a raft with his friends Kairi and Riku, To defeating Ansem and sealing Riku and King Mickey in Kingdom Hearts.

"Jiminy...Do you think I'll get to go back to my world?" "Of course!" Jiminy said looking up at Sora in a surprised manner. "Cheer up. you promised you girlfriend, right?" Jiminy asked standing up and pointing at Kairi's charm. "It's nothing like that--!" "Don't be embarrassed!" Jiminy hopped onto Soras hand. "I'm certain Donald and Goofy feel the same way. they're destined to return the king to his original world. Same with Takara, it seems she is destined to help you find Riku, So then she can return to the world she once lived, and you have to return to your original world too Sora." Jiminy hopped off Sora's hand and walked to where he was sleeping. "Well now, let's get some sleep." Jiminy said putting his hat back onto his head and smiling at Sora with a tired look on his face. Once that was said Sora laid back down onto the comfortable grass and looked up at the sky once more before closing his eyes and going into the world of dreams. The purple haired female known as Takara sat up and looked at Sora's sleeping form. "Sora.." Takara said quietly before laying back down onto her side looking at the ground in front of her. "Is that really my purpose...?" Takaras eyes dropped a bit and Takara didn't fight her desire for sleep so she closed her eyes and finally fell asleep.

"Hey! wake up!"

You opened your eyes to meet Sora's familiar blue ones. "Sora?" You asked sitting up then letting out a yawn. "Takara we have to go, look!" Sora was pointing at something excitedly and you looked where he was pointing and saw a huge castle in the distance. It looked very dark to your gaze and you felt worried, mostly because in your gut you knew something would go wrong. "Where did that come from?" "There's no time to explain, come on!" Sora grabbed your wrist and pulled you up to your feet. "Follow me!" You looked towards Donald and Goofy who looked like they also woke up and exchanged a confused glance with them. You then all began to follow Sora's disappearing form before he got lost.

"Wow, this castle is huge!" Donald said looking way up at the castle before him. You rolled your eyes and stared at the huge building yourself. "Gawrsh, maybe we will find something here." Goofy said pitching his own two cents in. Once hearing that you looked down at your black boots in thought. Maybe king Mickey is in that castle, Riku too. Who knows what would rely in the depths of the mysterious castle. "Maybe the king's in here." Donald said to Goofy not even afraid of the dark decor of the castle. "Is this the entrance?" Goofy asked standing with Donald in front of a huge white door. "Hold on a sec!!!" Sora yelped running over before Goody and Donald got themselves in deep trouble. You joined the party. "Huh? you're right." Goofy said to Sora hearing his call. "Donald, we should knock first, A-Hyuck."Goofy said to Donald getting a reply of "I know that!!"

"Hey, what if it's a trap? not that your listening..." Sora said standing behind Donald and Goofy being ignored by him.

"Donald, So-" you started but was ignored like Sora- Because Donald reached up and grabbed the metal engraved door knocker and banged on the door. The door suddenly opened even though no one was there to open it. "Hellooo! is anybody there?" You and the group stepped into the bright hall of white and looked around.

"Looks like nobody's home."

"You sure we should barge in like this?"

"huh?" You looked at Sora in confusion along with Donald and Goofy. "What's wrong?" Donald asked. Sora was looking around his feet and around the ground. "Um..I just got a feeling like I..dropped something..."

"Wake up, Sora!"

"Did you loose your wallet?"

You rolled your eyes and couldn't help how funny Donald and Goofy were when they try to help Sora. "No, nothing like that."

"Welcome to our castle."

"eh?"

You and the rest of the party looked behind yourselves to see a unknown man hidden behind a long black cloak. standing before you.

"What you dropped...is your MEMORY "

"You--! you're the black robe guy I saw earlier!" Sora said pointing at said man.

"HOW CAN YOU JUST FALL INTO HIS TRAP LIKE THIS?!" Donald screeched scaring Sora. You also.

"He's obviously suspicious!"

"but I asked you guys..."

"I'd never THINK of coming here!!"

"I told you it could be a trap!"

Donald summoned his staff. "It must be a heartless! let's see how it handles my magic! FI--"

....

You looked at Donald with a raised eyebrow.

"FIIIR--" Donald pointed his staff but nothing happened.

"Huh?" Sora said. "WHAT??" Donald said "BLIZZ-- um...um..."

"Im not a heartless." Said the cloaked man.

"I should think it's obvious. The moment you set foot in this castle, you started loosing your memory. you've forgotten every spell and ability you knew." The man said like it didn't even matter. "Does that mean..?" Sora said

"...If I try a dodge roll now, it'll just be a normal roll?!" Sora asked loudly "Like I care." The cloaked man said to Sora. "But the forgetting does not end there. In this place, to find is to lose.. and to lose is to find." The cloaked man said.

"...A,B,C,D,E,F.."

"Goofy?"

"..I,J,K..."

"Hey, you're scaring me..."

"Goofy? are you okay?"

"O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V,..."

"GOOFY!"

"A-hyuck, I don't think I've forgotten the alphabet, yet!" Goofy said to his friends.

"DID YOU HEAR ME?!" The cloaked man said. You, Sora, Donald and Goofy quieted down and listened to what the cloaked man was about to say. "In this place, to find is to lose..and lose is to find." "He said the same thing twice."Goofy said to you, Sora, and Donald. "Well he isn't the smartest crayon in the box" You said.

"It's probably his favorite line." Donald said after you and Goofy said your opinions.

"I repeated it because I thought you weren't listening!"

"That is the way of things...in Castle Oblivion. In this place, the fins is to lose, and to lose is to find."

Man, he said it again... the Kingdom crew thought looking at the man with a sweat drop.

"Here in this castle..you will meet people you know. People you miss."

"What?" Sora said eyes widening.

"People we miss?" Donald said looking at Goofy and yourself.

"RIKU!YOU MEAN RIKU!" Sora said looking around frantically.

"THE KING'S HERE?!"Donald and Goofy said looking around in the same way understanding what the cloaked man said.

Riku.... you thought watching as Sora and his two friends looking around looking like crazy idiots.

Suddenly you gasped when you said the cloaked man rush forward and went right through Sora! The kingdom crew looked at the man in horror and confusion, not understanding what happened.

"Wha--what did you do?!"

The cloaked man swiped his hark and Sora caught a crown shaped card. "A promise. This is the key...to reuniting with those you hold dear." He motioned to the door behind him. "Hold the card before you. The door will open..and beyond it a new world."

The man started to fade away. "Use that card and press on. You will find your friend. Brave keyblade master." The cloaked man disappeared. "Sora, wait a minute!" Jiminy Cricket jumped up and held onto the crown shaped card looking at Sora.

"I don't trust that guy! i have a really bad feeling about this...He said we've been losing our memory from the moment we set foot in this castle. What does he mean by 'Losing our memory'? And 'To find is to lose and to lose is to find'?"

Sora picked up Jiminy by the back of his shirt and placed him in the hood of his jacket. "I felt it the moment I saw this castle. That we'd find something here." Sora said "Gawrsh, me too."Goofy said pointing to himself. "Me three!"Donald said. "I have to admit. I also felt it too." You said looking at your companions. "Oh my..actually..I felt the same thing but.." Jiminy said frowning at how he wasn't going to convince Sora. "If we don't go forward, we wont find anything."Jiminy finished. "C'mon guys-" Sora said holding the card up and pushing the door open once the light that appeared in the middle of the door disappeared. "Let's go find the king and Riku!"

The cloaked man watched at the Kingdom crew disappeared behind the door as it closed shut.

"The further you advance, the more you'll understand. The meaning of 'To find is to lose and to lose is to find'..."

..........

"Don't tell me...I said it again..."
