For obvious reasons I'm going to keep this part short. Here are my replies to the comments.
Hero of Neutrality: No no! You're fine, I took no offense to the comment at all, my sad face was more just due to what happened to her in the game. You're totally fine! Your question will be answered very shortly…..
Disney Boy: Thank you for your feedback, super interesting concept feel free to PM me more info if you've got more ideas/theories!
Sora's eyes widened in fear, and deep inside him his heart began to crumble. No, this can't be happening, I have to get there in time, I have to save her, but it was not to be. "Kairi!" Master Xehanort swung his Keyblade at full force, "No!" seconds later Sora reached the top, gasping in shock at what he found.
Master Xehanort's eyes widened, his Keyblade stood just a few inches from Kairi's back, unable to make impact due to one small thing, her hand. Her grip on the Keyblade tightened as she opened her eyes and turned her head to face him. No smile, no expression other than pure anger "I don't think so. You underestimate light's power, and the hearts ability to listen. As soon as I heard Sora calling out to me, there was no way I was gonna let you get away with this" he smiled wide "Your resistance is amusing, but it won't save you" suddenly a dark portal surrounded her, and she vanished.
"Kairi!" Sora yelled, swinging his keyblade towards Xehanort, who immediately swung back causing him to fall down below. Master Xehanort for once in his life confused on what to do next, floated up towards Kingdom Hearts. "N-nooooo" "Sora!" Riku called running up to his aid. He soon fell to his knees in sadness, Riku and Namine stood still unable to find the words to say.
On cue Donald, Goofy and King Mickey arrived, "Sora, what's going on" "Xehanort has Kairi" Riku replied. They all gasped in shock as tears began falling down Sora's face, and his heart continued crumbling to pieces in his chest. Then Donald and Goofy walked up to him, Donald put a hand on his shoulder "Hey don't give up." Goofy reached around to his other shoulder and they helped him to his feet. "We thought ya might be able to use a couple more half-pints." Goofy added. "Donald….Goofy…" he said turning to each of them.
Donald walked a few steps towards the tower "Typical. You can't do anything without us, Sora." Goofy nodded "Now wipe those tears, and let's go stop Master Xehanort" Sora sighed "Yeah…but…how. He's got Kairi….." "You, worried?" a new voice said, they looked up to see Roxas, Axel and Xion walking towards them.
Soon the others joined them as well "Guys." Sora breathed, "Sorry we took so long." Axel said, "Master Xehanort" Terra breathed, as they looked up see him floating in front of Kingdom Hearts. "So what now?" Ventus asked, Aqua looked down in shame that she didn't have the answer. "We've still got one hope" King Mickey added.
"What hope?" Ventus asked, Riku continued "Its Xehanort. During the Mark of Mastery exam, we learned that he can transcend space and time. He's a portal. And we can use that to trap him." King Mickey nodded "But, it won't be easy. Aqua, Riku. I'll need both your help if we're gonna push Xehanort out of this world" "Undestood." Aqua breathed. She moved to get closer, but not before Sora could jump in front of her.
"Wait. I'll do it." "What?" Riku asked. "Kingdom Hearts is a much bigger threat, if the worst happens….I'd rather have you guys out here to keep it shut" everyone stood silently thinking it over, before nodding in agreement one by one.
"Okay. Sora." King Mickey replied, "I got this." Sora said walking towards the tower, seconds later Goofy and Donald joined him "You can't forget about us" Donald said. Goofy nodded "Without Keyblades, it's not like we'll be much help here." They held put their hands together "Three half pints together again" Sora said, they all nodded in agreement.
With that they broke apart and he stepped forward holding his keyblade upward to the Kingdom Hearts in the sky. Then Namine held up her keyblade as well, and then Roxas. Soon everyone was aiming their keyblade upward. Sora spun his keyblade around a few times, before holding it outward and twisted it around. Then he held it up with everyone else's, at once all of their keyblades began to glow, before realeasing various forms of light, which then made their way up to Master Xehanort, striking him in the chest. Donald and Goofy grabbed onto Sora's belt, and then seconds later they changed into a yellow orb, shooting up towards where Xehanort was floating. The second they struck him, all that could be seen on the ground was a bright light, which then faded out of existence.
Sora awoke, in a completely new area. "Whoa. Where are we?" they looked to be on a pier, surrounded by stunningly beautiful water. Off in the distance were some homes, and beyond that towers connected to one another by cable cars. They wandered down the long pier towards the town, until suddenly Sora heard someone gasping for air off his right side. Turning to his right, he moved towards a nearby bench and peaked around. Suddenly his breath caught in his throat, and butterflies fluttered in his stomach. There struggling to stand up, was a tall girl with red hair and deep blue eyes, one he'd recognize anywhere.
"Kairi!" suddenly she looked up and her eyes grew wide "Sora!" she leapt up and pulled him into the tightest hug of his life. He hugged back "I thought I lost you…" she squeezed "Remember what I said? Next time I'm coming with you" he smiled "You did" they broke free and stared lovingly into one another's eyes. "I'm so glad you're ok" she smiled "I'm glad you're ok" then as always, with imperfect timing Goofy interrupted.
"Ugh guys? How is it possible Kairi ended up here?" She sighed, "After I grabbed Xehanort's keyblade, and he sent me through the corridors of darkness. I ended up on our island only it wasn't our island. It didn't have the clubhouse, the raft we'd built, it was just empty. I wandered around for a while calling out to you guys but there was no answer. Then out of nowhere I felt something, I felt you Sora. Then off in the distance was a keyhole. I unlocked it with my keyblade, and then I ended up here"
Sora nodded "It must have been when I struck Xehanort." She smiled "Our hearts must have connected, thank you Sora" he smiled back, "Don't mention it Kairi." They stared into each other's eyes for another moment before Kairi looked away, "We should get going" Sora's face softened for a moment before giving a nod, "Right!" together again, they headed into the town.
Alrighty so I want to explain this now. The world Kairi was in was Destiny Island from many centuries ago, before anyone ever inhabited it hence why she couldn't find anyone or anything familiar. What do ya'll think of the chapter? Is it a good thing Sora was able to bring Kairi back? Or not? Let me know in the comments! See you in the next one.
