A man was busy working on a new system on his computer. He was pushing a few more buttons until he got aggravated and pushed himself back into his chair " No. no. NO!" The man pushed his chair away from the computer and tapped his forehead trying to think of what could be wrong.

"What's wrong Zel?" ten year old Sora came through the metal sliding doors with Leo next to him.

"Oh, hey Sora" Zel pushed himself back to the computer and continued pushing a few more keys until the screen went red and 'ERROR' came onto the screen. "Come on!" Zel was becoming more frustrated with every code he tried.

"Nothing working?" Sora looked over Zel's shoulder and stared at the computer. "Can I try?"

"No" Zel turned his head to looked at Sora but the leaned back in his chair with a huff to explain what he was trying to do "I'm trying to come up with ideas on making a new security system"

"Serphise says that impossible" Sora tried to push a button but Zel slapped his hand.

"Serphise can go to hell for all I care" Zel pushed his chair back in of the computer and entered in another code, but the same result happened again. "I wish I had my assistant" Zel sighed as he remembered how much easier it was with his assistant.

"You had an assistant?' Sora asked

"Yup" Zel sat back in his chair remembering her. "She would be great to have right now"

"Really" Sora pushed a few keys then enter and the screen lit up.

"SORA!" Zell yelled as he thought Sora must have broke it.

"Got to go! Helios is looking for me" Sora ran out the doors with Leo right behind him.

Zel sighed as he knew that Sora meant no harm.

"KEY CODE POSSIBLE" said the computer.

"Possible?" Zel looked at the code Sora entered and started typing some more.

Chapter 14:

Sora and Chii were walking on a cemented walkway as they looked around the new world. Sora was back in his original clothing and Chii was back on his shoulder.

"What town do you thing we're in now?" Chii asked.

"Not sure" Sora walked to the wall edge and looked out over the town. The town was huge some houses were brown and wooden while some were cemented. They had shops and hotels everywhere meaning it was a big place for tourism.

"Look at that" Chii pointed to two distinct buildings. They both were castles but one looked like it was under construction while the other looked older and untouched. Both were very unique, but the older one was father away. There was a gap between the older castle and the town, like it was haunted and no one would go near it.

"Chii" Chii looked up at Sora from the ledge she stood on. "We should head that way" Sora pointed to the constructed castle. He didn't know why but the presence was coming from that area and the constructed one was closer. Chii jumped back onto his shoulder and they walked down the path towards the market.

XXXXXXXXXXXX

The market was buzzing with people and shoppers. People were ordering food or part for the work or their daily life. Women were checking out the jewelry while men looked at the armory.

Sora continued walking, minding his business while Chii notice a few people staring at them. "Everyone's staring at us" Chii whispered to Sora.

Sora turned a turned a corner towards a more quieter street. The street had less people, but Sora could sense someone following him. Sora walked a few more feet and stopped.

"Looks like you knew I was following you"

Sora eyes looked toward his left and Sora slowly turned around.

"Now then. What's a kid doing with a heartless?" The man looked to be in his 20's, he had long brown hair to his shoulder and a scar across his face.

"Why's a man following a kid around" Sora commented back.

"Smart words for a little brat" the man withdrew his gunblade and pointed it at Sora. "Now hand over that heartless, kid"

Sora was about to withdraw his keyblade when a Japanese girl dresses in black ninja attire appeared between the two.

"Hold it Squall" The girl blocked the man from attacking Sora.

"It's Leon, Yuffie!" Leon yelled at the Yuffie like he disliked being called Squall.

"But….doesn't he look familiar" Yuffie turned around and both of them stared at Sora.

(Outside, Sora headed toward the Second District. Sora knew he broke his promise to Cid but he didn't have time to wait for someone or let alone have them know what he was. Sora felt his shoulder rub against someone and turned to see he had hit someone.

"Watch it kid, you might hurt someone." The voice sounded gentle but rude.

Sora didn't even turn around, instead waved them off "I'll remember that."

The man just smirked as he headed toward Cid's shop.)

"You're the guy I bumped into at Traverse Town" Sora pointed his finger at the two. He thought he remember that attitude from somewhere.

"You're the kid Cid told us about" Leon put his gun blade away and looked at Sora.

"You know Cid?" Sora put his hand on his hips and looked at the two in confusion.

"Ya, we were suppose to take care of the monster but you beat us to it" Yuffie explained, walking back and forth. "Cid told us it must have been that kid that he met before we arrived. Someone named Sora" Yuffie and Leon turned to look at Sora. They could not believe that some child was able to stop that heartless.

"Alright kid, what's going on?" Leon didn't get an answer when a swarm of heartless surrounded them. "Here" Leon was angry that the heartless had somehow invaded the town undetected.

"You two should….." Yuffie didn't have time to finish when a soldier attacked her. She fell onto the floor with her Shuriken next to her. Claws were about to strike Yuffie a second time, but never came. Yuffie looked to see Sora, with his keyblade out, and the heartless disappearing. Sora moved at lightning speed and destroyed the heartless like they were nothing.

Leon and Yuffie stared in awe at Sora, who single handle defeated the heartless without any help. They looked at Sora's blade, which was jagged and had a lot bandages around it. Sora flipped the flipped around and clamped it on his back.

"You're a keyblade master" Leon was stunned to see a keyblade master, they were really rare.

"Come on!" Yuffie grabbed Sora's hand and dragged him off to their head courtiers. "We have to tell Cid and Merlin"

Leon walked behind them in the direction on Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee base.

XXXXXXXXXX

Cid was typing on the computer, trying to go through different files with two people next to him and one leaning on the wall.

"Did you find anything else?" asked a young girl with braided hair in a pink dress.

"…." Cid kept typing on the keyboard like he was trying to find something.

The door creped open and everyone turn around to see Yuffie sticking her head out. They all sighed in relief at the sight of Yuffie, probable afraid since heartless were about. Yuffie walked in with Sora and Leon behind her. Everyone stared at the new person, Sora, who came in. Sora recognized two people, Cid who was on the computer and Cloud who was leaning against the wall. There were two people, a old man with a long white beard, a blue gown and pointy hat. And a girl with a hair brown hair in a braid tied with a red ribbon, and a red, pink and white dress, he did not recognize

"Welcome to Hallow Bastion Restoration Committee" Yuffie introduced everyone. "This is Aerith"

"A pleasure it is to met you" Aerith swayed her dress and clapped her hands together in delight.

"Merlin"

"Ah, I finally get to meet the keyblader at last" Merlin pushed his glasses and waved his other hand.

"You've heard of me?" Asked Sora.

"Why yes" Merlin coughed. "There have been many rumors about a mysterious keyblade bearer with a heartless on his shoulder about"

"Didn't know we were famous" Sora rubbed the back of his head.

"Kid, you've been started rumors wherever you go" Cid scoffed off.

"Cid"

"Ya, he knows me Yuffie. You sure grown kid" Cid commented.

"Been a long time" Sora waved to Cid.

"Cloud"

"…" Cloud nodded to Sora.

"Wow cloud, you look…..different" Sora tried to hide his shock out Cloud's new attire.

Could was in an all black outfit. He looked very different from the outfit he wore back in the coliseum. "It's been kinda ruff"

"And you've met Squall"

"It's Leon" Leon was in the same position as Cloud, except he was against the door.

"And I'm great Ninja Yuffie" Yuffie said happily.

"I'm Sora" Sora then pointed to Chii, who was quiet on Sora's shoulder. "And this is Chii"

Chii waved shyly to everyone, not sure on how they would react to her.

"Don't worry" Aerith tried to reassure her. "We won't harm you"

"Ya" Yuffie said happily. "We're still trying to teach Leon on to bite but everyone else is a-okay"

Leon started walking towards Sora, making sure to hit Yuffie on the back of the head, he asked "Now explain what you're doing here"

"Leon!" Aerith thought that was rude of Leon.

"No Aerith" Cloud got off the wall and walked towards the group. "Sora needs to tell us what's going on"

Sora sighed "I can only tell you the sum up version"

"Were good with anything" Aerith wanted to know as much as the rest of them about the heartless.

"The heartless are not from this world" Sora started. "The heartless only want to go back to theirs"

"Then why don't they go back" Cid thought that if that if it was so simple as that, why didn't they.

"Because something is keeping them here and only a keyblade bearer…..a neon keyblade bearer can do it." Sora tried to hold in his frustration.

"So you're the only one who can do it" Leon concluded.

"Yes" Sora sighed "I've been trained to do this since I was young."

The whole group were surprised that Sora had been doing this for a long time.

"Once the heartless are gone, everything will go back to normal" Sora looked back up at the group.

"What do you need" Cid wanted to help out in any way he could.

""Every world has a main boss. I have this feeling….that…there's not that many left" Sora eyes began to go dark a little bit.

"Looks like your journey is finally coming to an end" Cloud looked at Sora.

"Ya" Sora then looked over at Cid. "What were you guys looking at?"

"We found Xenhort's computer. Now we're trying to get into those files." Cid pointed to the computer behind him.

"Who?" Chii finally spoke and every stared at her in surprise, except for Cloud and Sora.

"It…"

"….can talk"

"Who's computer!" Chii was getting more frustrated that no one would answer her question.

"Xenhort's computer" Cloud told Chii and Sora.

"Can we get back to 'IT CAN TALK!'" Yuffie was pointing at Chii.

"Ya it's the newest thing. We heartless come in fun size"

Chii mocked Yuffie, while smiling at the end.

"Your mocking me, aren't you?" Yuffie frowned as she spoke with a monotone voice.

"No, really" Chii mocked.

Everyone laughed except Chii and Yuffie who glared at each other.

XXXXXXXXXXX

After an hour of Chii vs Yufffie, Leon took both Sora and Chii over to the real computer. Cloud was quietly following behind the group in case any heartless might attack again.

"So what's the deal with Xenhort's computer?" Chii asked.

"Ansem was the original creature of this city. Xenhort, his assistant, was rumored to start the heartless invasion" Leon stopped when he didn't hear the group walking behind him.

Leon and Cloud looked at Sora who was lost in deep thought.

("He won't stop"

He's the one who started all this")

"Xenhort was the one who started all of this" Sora whispered in anger towards the man who caused all this pain.

"He's dead"

Sora looked up at Leon, who continued walking towards their destination. "Dead" Sora's voice got angrier. "How could a man who did all this be DEAD!" Sora, out of anger, pounded his fist against the stone wall. Sora thought..no, Sora knew Xenhort was still alive somewhere. Waiting…to unleash this terrible creature.

"What makes you think…." Leon stopped walking, the anger building up inside of him. "…that you can save us" Leon turned around to Sora and started to yell. "A little kid, who knows nothing!"

"I KNOW MORE THAN YOU'LL EVER KNOW!" Sora yelled back.

"Come you guys" Cloud tried to calm the two down. "Yelling isn't going to get us anywhere"

"Shut up Cloud" Leon yelled at Cloud for interrupting them.

"Don't yell at him!" Sora was getting more and more angry at this guy. Who did he think he was, yelling at Cloud who was only trying to help.

"Look at that keybearer!" Leon pointed towards the dark gloomy castle.

Sora looked at the direction Leon had pointed and saw that castle they first saw when they arrived. It looked like the same castle from the constructed one but looked more old, dark and gloomy…even broken. Surrounding by blue crystal moving rocks and clear water, it looked like something out of a Grim's fairy tale. But..what Sora saw next scared him. Thousand of heartless surround them from the castle, like a big moat. Chii gasped at the site of the army.

"You think you can take all of them down" Leon anger kept rising as he continued to talk "We have to use the Claymore to keep the heartless at bay. The heartless will soon find a way around it. There's only a short amount of time." "Time is something I don't have" Sora walked straight past Leon "If you're just going to stand around and cry, be my guest. But I'm going to end it" Cloud and Leon stood there in shock. This was not the Sora they met a few hours ago, this Sora was different. Someone who was more like a hero, but…they could feel something dark too. Cloud ran past Leon to catch up to Sora. "You're running out of time?" "I can't stay very long. I think…this is my last mission" Sora smiled a little bit at the thought of his journey finally coming to an end.

"Sorry about Leon" Cloud wanted to apologies for Leon's attitude, since he knew Leon wouldn't.

"It's okay. If I were him…I probably do the same thing" Sora laughed.

"No, you would probably be attacking people" Chii commented which earned her a wack on the head.

Leon walked behind them and smiled a little as they continued towards the constructed castle.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

While walking up the steep hill towards the entrance, Sora saw a blinking light ball zapping the ground.

"What's that?" Chii asked as her eyes followed the glowing ball.

"That's the town's defense system?"

The group looked up and saw Yuffie standing on one of the yellow pipes leaving from the castle wall. "What took you guys so long?" Yuffie jumped of the platform and walked over to the entrance.

Sora and Chii tried to figure out how Yuffie got from Cid's house to the Constructed Castle before them.

"She may not look it but she's very fast" Leon walked by Sora and crossed the rust metal (balcony/ porch) to the entrance.

Sora looked behind him to see cloud was missing. "Hey! Where's Cloud?" Sora noticed that only him and Chii were left standing on the (balcony/porch). "I guess nobody wanted to wait for us" Sora asked himself as he started walked towards the entrance of the castle.

XXXXXXXXXX

The inside of the castle was normal pink and bronze tubes going from floor to ceiling. The cracks in the walls and tubes let Sora and Chii know the castle was still going under construction. Sora stopped and looked around when he heard the patter a feet. Unknown to him was a small blue creature moving above them and moving across the ceiling.

Chii looked at Sora with curiosity and Sora told her it was nothing, probably just some crack that was leaking air or something. They continued walking not hearing a black shadow crept up behind them. Sora stopped and looked around since they had hit a two way hallway. The shadow crept closer and closer to them. Sora was about to take out his keyblade and strike the creature, when he heard a slash sound.

"You two better be careful" a high pitch, cheerful voice said.

Sora's eyes widen as he turned around to see a mouse dressed in a warrior outfit, with a keyblade in hand. "King…King Mickey"

King Mickey waved to Sora. "It's been awhile"

Sora looked around for anymore people.

"It's just me" King Mickey chuckled "Donald and Goofy are guarding the castle while I'm gone"

Sora crossed his arms and gave a light chuckle "Really?"

King Mickey smiled; he was what Sora was thinking but quickly changed the subject. "What are you doing here?"

"We're …..going to see….Xenhort's computer" Chii peaked out behind Sora's hair.

King Mickey smiled at Chii, since he knew that she was afraid of him.

"What about you, your highness?" Sora questioned.

"Sora, I told you to call me Mickey"

Sora just sighed as he turned to continued walking.

"I'm here to look through Ansem's notes" Mickey followed behind them.

""An..sem?" Chii asked.

"Ansem the wise was the man in charge of all this. He was a very good friend of mine, but he died sadly killed by someone." Mickey eyes fell to the floor of the memory of his dear friend.

"You think it was…" Sora figured that King Mickey knew that Ansem was murdered by Xenhort.

"Yes, Xenhort wanted to continue the research of creating something big and unstoppable." Mickey explained.

"But he discovered the heartless instead" Sora's hands tightened into a fist.

"Yes. I'm here to find the machine and destroy it, but now I know that it wasn't a machine that brought them." Mickey looked up at Sora.

Sora continued walking in silence as the group came to the door leading to Xenhort/ Ansem's study.

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

The room was definitely messy, piles of books and papers were all over the floor and some on the desk that was in the back of the room. The three bookcases however had some books but they looked like someone went through them.

"What a mess" Chii held a piece of paper that had the heartless symbol on it.

"Looks like someone was looking for someone" Mickey picked up one of the books and found pages were missing from it.

Sora was looking at the picture in front of him. The man had long white hair with tan skin, he had a white lab coat over it white clothes that proved he was a scientist. The face was turned like he was staring at something else.

"Hey you!"

Sora was out of is glaring trance and looked behind him to see a girl in her 20's with black hair. Black shorts, top, and half skirt with black shoes.

"Have you seen a guy with spiky hair" She pulled her hair a little bit to show what she meant.

Chii and Mickey looked at Sora, who pointed to himself.

"She laughed and said "Spikier"

The trio shrugged their shoulder as the girl sighed.

"Ugh..Where are you Cloud?" The girl scratched her head and looked around.

"Cloud?" Sora asked.

"You know him?" The girl looked over at Sora eagerly. "Where is her? Is he here? CLOUD!"

"We…." Sora didn't know how to tell her.

"You don't know?" The girl's eyes grew sadder as her head dropped.

"He was right behind us until we came here with Leon and …." Sora tried to explain.

"Leon!" The girl looked up at them in surprised. "When I get my hands on him…" The girl stormed out of the room with a slam behind her.

"…." Sora and Chii just stared at the door form a few minutes before saying.

"That was…" Chii was dumbfounded.

"….Unexpected" Sora finished.

"You've changed"

Sora curiously looked at King Mickey. "What do you mean?"

Before Mickey could answer, a secret door that a wall, opened up and Leon popped his head out.

"Come on" Leon gestured for the group to follow him.

"Wait a minute! Where…!" Chii screeched at Leon

"Shhh" Leon looked around frantically "Will you just get in here"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

They walked down the passage that was blue walls lit with wiring. They all came to an opening over the railing.

"Woah" Both Sora and Chii chorused.

The room was a giant laboratory that had test tubes, big wires and little wires, rays, glass flooring, ect.

"What is all this?" Sora asked, still shocked that something like this existed under the castle.

"This… is the labatory…that the heartless were made" King Mickey eyes grew sadder at the memory of his friend. "Ansem didn't want anything to do with this. He wanted to all of this destroyed …but…"

"Xenhort took over" Leon knew what King Mickey was getting at.

Sora's eyes grew darker, anger consumed him. Angry that someone would do all of this. Ruin lives. Ruin homes. Sora lost his train of thought when Aerith walked in.

"Am I interrupting something" She asked the group.

"No..you're not" Leon sighed, he didn't want Aerith to worry. "We were discussing what the lab was for"

"We can't change the past" Aerith put her head up high and looked determined. "But we can change out future"

The groups spirits were lifted but a high, squeaky sound followed by a big boom came from the next room, startling the group.

"What on…."

Sora didn't get the chance to hear Leon, as he rushed into the computer room. Sora saw nothing that would cause that sound they heard. Sora decided to look around and Chii hopped of his shoulder and onto the floor in front of the computer.

"Waohw" Chii stared at the buttons as she looked over the computer.

Sora walked over to the keyboard just when Leon, Aerith, and Mickey walked in. Sora picked Chii up and put her next to the keys so she would press any of them.

Sora decided to search the computer data base for any files on Xenhort but when he started pushing some buttons, nothing happen. Sora tried a few more key strokes, but still nothing.

"What's wrong with this thing!" Chii slammed her hand on 4 different keys at once that caused the computer screen to go red.

"ATTENTION CURRENT USER! THIS IS A WARNING. FURTHER MISUSE OF THIS TERMINAL WITH RESULT IN IMMIDAITE DEFENSIVE ACTION" The computer said to the group.

"I think you made it mad" Chii whispered to Sora.

"Sora had to try hard not to strangle Chii at this moment.

"Easy guys..Don't break it" Leon scorned the two.

"Leon?" Chii asked.

"….?"

"Are bugs in this world big and blue?"

"No…why"?" Leon looked at her strangely.

Chii pointed up on the ceiling which the whole group looked up and saw a blue fuzzy creature staring back at them in surprise. The creature became startled that it lost its grip and came tumbling down. The creature made a big boom as it landed hard on its feet on top of the computer. The computer didn't go off which was a good thing for the group. The group sighed in relief to this, but Chii was mad.

She yelled "Get off of there!" and the creature scurried off. Chii landed on the other hand, on the computer with both hands and feet.

"Chii" Sora tried to calm down. "Don't move"

The group was trying to think of a way to get Chii off without pissing the computer off. Chii had an itch. A really, really bad itch. Chii moved one hand to get it but lost her balance, sending her whole body slamming down on the keyboard.

That how the sirens went off and made everyone yell "CHII!"

"I'm sorry!" Chii cried.

"DECISION GATE REACHED! YOU ARE NOW UNDER ARREST!" The computer informed the group.

"How the heck is a computer suppose to arrest us" Chii ughed.

The whole group scanned the room, like the police would jump out and arrest them. That's when Leon noticed the wall with the big circle drive on it glowing.

He then knew that the beam was going to hit Sora and Chii. "CHII! SORA! RUN!"

Sora looked from Leon to the circle drive but it was to late when the beam shot at them.

The beam looked like it was downloading them. It zapped every particle up on Sora's and Chii's body. Once the beam finished the two were gone. Nothing left of them and Leon ran to the computer to figure out what happen.

(AN: No you or I did not skip a world or chapter. There is supposed to be a sequel after this like KH: BBS where you learn how everything began. It will be called KH: BC (before Chii). I am in the process of writing it but the only difference is that it will be short than this story because there aren't that many worlds ( and the creator hasn't come up any new ones). )
