Thechaosmsater: Greetings and beond the seems like I can't stay in one story for too long. But, either way, here is chapter two of DigiHearts Re:Chain of Memories. Now, in all honetsy, I got the motivation to write this story from reading Chain Of Memories: Sabrina's Story by the author Nan the Keyblade Master, so, Nan, if, by any chance, you are reading this, which the odds are like, 1 out of 1000000000000000000000000000000000000, but, still, here is the next chapter of DigiHearts Re:Chain Of Memories. Kurivolt, care to do the honors?

Kurivolt: Actually, boss, I am requesting some time off.

Chaos: Say, WHAT?!

Kurivolt: Yeah, I've been doig this for over four years. And while you don't upload that often, I'd like to cash in my vacation time.

Chaos: Well, for how long is your vacation going to last?

Kurivoolt: Until you complete this story, DigiHearts, and Days.

Chaos: Really? Three stories? But, I don't want to do this on my own. You've been with me since the beggining.

Kurivolt: Don't worry, boss. I've called in a fellow dule monster spirit to take over my roll for the next three stories.

Chaos: Who?

?: That would be me.

Chaos turns to see a young girl with long pink hair, wearing a light pink dress, and had two small demon like horns on her head, and was carring a massive sytch.

Chaos: Wait, Red Blossoms From Undertoot?

RBFU: Yes, that's right, but, please, call me Blossom. Or Red, either way. And I am here to releave Kurivolt of his shift for a while.

Chaos nods: Okay, that works. Well, Kurivolt, enjoy your vacation.

Kurivolt nods and says: Thanks, boss, Blossom, take care, and don't worry about the boss, he's quite chill.

Blossom: K, see ya, Kuri, take care.

Kurivolt then leaves via entering a computer, Chaos then turns to the very confused audiance and says: Well, this was, unexpected, well, why don't we just get along with the story now. Blossom, did Kuirvolt tell you about what he usually does?

Blossom: Yes sir. Disclaimr: Thechaosmaster does not own thr rights to Kingdom Hearts, or the Digimon franchise. they all belong to theire respectful owners. And I rightfully belong to Konami. Everything else, belongs to Thechaosmaster.


Chapter 2: First Floor: Traverse Town

The boys soon found out that each card created different rooms. One where they were able to rest up at a checkpoint, another that was swarming with Heartless, but, other than the times when either Sora or Takato called upon their friends, they only had each other to count on. Then after clearing out another room filled with Heartless, a golden card had fallen to the ground.

Takato picked up the card and asked, "Key Of Beginnings? Huh? I wonder where this card will lead us."

Sora looked to Takato, then said, "Well, why don't we find out?"

Takato nodded in agreement, then he walked up to an unused door and raised the card up to the door. Then card began to glow, as did the door, then the door opened up and the two boys saw a blinding light, Takato looked to Sora and asked, "You ready, Sora?"

Sora nodded and said, "Yeah, I am."

Then both boys walked into the door they found themselves in the third district of Traverse Town, then Sora folded his arms and said, "Hmm, you know, fighting without our friends isn't as easy as I thought it would."

Takato nodded, then he said, "Yeah, and I miss Hazzardmon."

Just then, three cards started to fall behind the two boys, then, in a flash of light, Donald, Goofy, and Hazzardmon were standing behind the two boys. Hazzardmon smirked and asked, "Missing me already, Takatomon?"

Both boys jumped in the air, and turned to see their friends, then they said, "Aah! Don't do that, Hazzardmon!"

Sora then said, "Don't pop out of nowhere like that!"

"Hey, don't blame us! It's not our fault! We don't know what's going on!" Donald quacked.

Then Goofy jumped and said, "A-hyuck!?"

The two boys turned around and saw the Kings trusty companion, "Pluto!?" Sora and Takato said in surprise.

"Things keep getting stranger. What's Pluto doing here!?" Donald asked

Hazzardmon shrugged his shoulders and said, "Search me. I've got nothing."

Then Goofy said, "There's nothing strange about that. We came to Traverse Town with Pluto, didn't we?"

Donald put his hand to his chin and asked, "Did we?"

Jiminy then jumped off of Sora's Shoulder and said, "No, wait! According to my journal, it was before you met Sora and Takato that you came to town with Pluto!"

Then Donald said, "Wak! He's right! We were chasing after Pluto, and that's how we ended up in Castle Oblivion!"

Then Goofy asked, "But aren't we in Traverse Town?"

Then Jiminy said, "Well, it's not really Traverse Town. I think the card created this Traverse Town inside Castle Oblivion!"

Then Sora threw his arm to the side and said, "Aaghh! Who cares about all that? It's too confusing!"

Takato then said, "Compared to our last journey, Sora, this is par for the course."

Then Sora said, "Whatever. I don't know where we are, but let's just keep moving forward defeating Heartless! We'll get somewhere!"

That was when a voice said, "You'd better be careful, or it's the Heartless that are going to defeat you."

Everyone turned and saw Leon standing outside the hall that once led to Merlin's Study. Then Leon walked up to the group, and Sora asked, "Leon, it's you! What are you doing in Castle Oblivion?"

Leon then asked, "Castle Oblivion? What are you talking about? This is Traverse Town. And how do you know my name? Who are you kids?"

Then Sora and Takato asked, "Huh!?"

Leon then said, "I've never met the likes of you before."

Then Sora said, "Quit playing, Leon! We all fought the Heartless together! You know that!"

Then Leon said, "Look, I don't know what you're talking about. I don't even know your names."

Sora and Takato looked at each other in confusion and they asked, "You don't?"

Then Leon turned his back to the group and folded his arms and said, "...Sorry."

Then Sora asked, "I can't believe it. How can you have forgotten about us?"

Then Takato folded his arms and said, "Yeash, and I thought you would have remembered the name of the prince from your home world, thanks for nothing, Leon."

Then Leon let his arms drop as he said, "I feel for you, but you've got the wrong guy. Happens all the time. Don't take it so personally, Sora, Takato."

Then Donald, Goofy and Hazzardmon looked at each other and said, "Huh? What?"

Then Donald said, "You DO know their names!"

This seemed to have shocked Leon as well, then he turned to Sora and Takato and asked, "Now, now hold on! Why do I know your names?"

Donald, Goofy and Hazzardmon all looked at each other and Goofy asked, "You think Leon's just kidding around?"

Hazzardmon shook his head and he said, "I doubt it, I mean, what reason does he have to just forget about Sora and Takatomon? It doesn't make any sense. I can't really see him playing us."

Then Donald said, "Well if he is, it's not funny. Sora and Takato are really upset."

Then Leon asked, "Who's kidding around, Goofy? You and Donald are the ones-" Then Leon put his hand to his head.

And Donald exclaimed, "Hey!"

Then Leon said, "I don't get it... Something's wrong with my memory. What's happening here?"

Then a voice from behind Leon said, "I dunno, Leon. Maybe Aerith was onto something after all." Then, from behind Leon came our favorite female ninja, Yuffie. Then she said, "She said she sensed some uncanny kind of power. And asked us to look into it. Well, this is as uncanny as it gets. Maybe you should take Sora and Takato to see Aerith."

Then Sora and Takato both said, "Yuffie, you know our names!"

Yuffie then turned to the boys and said, "Yep! And it looks like you know mine, too."

Leon turned to Yuffie and asked, "You know them?"

Yuffie turned to Leon and shook her head and cheerfully said, "Nope! Total strangers. But I definitely know their names. Strange, yes, but convenient! We can skip the introductions."

Leon sighed in annoyance, then put his hand to his head and asked, "How is it that you can accept this situation so easily? I don't get you..."

Yuffie then said, "Well, I'm gonna run ahead and fill Aerith in. Leon, you give them the grand tour. See ya later!" Then both she and Pluto walked off, leaving Leon with our heroes.

Leon shook his head and said, "..." Then he turned to the heroes and said, "Well, I guess it's no use pondering over it. Come on, follow me. But there are Heartless wandering around this town. I'd better teach you boys how to protect yourselves in battle."

Sora nervously laughed while pulling on his shirt collar, then he turned to Takato and asked, "Why do I have the feeling that we're going to be hurting in a minute?"

Takato turned to Sora and said, "Because, I think we're going to be turned into punching bags."

Then, Sora, Takato, and Leon all got into battle stances, then Leon said, "You boys see the numbers printed on your cards?" Both boys nodded, then Leon said, "See how they range from 0 to 9? Higher numbers mean stronger cards. Go on, try it out."

Sora and Takato looked at one another then nodded. Takato grabbed a Bonds Of Hazard card that had a 5 on it, then he struck at Leon, only to have it be blocked.

Then Sora grabbed a card with a 6 on, placed it on his Keyblade, then struck at Leon, only to have it become blocked, just like what happened to Takato.

Then Leon asked, "See how it works? Playing a card higher than you opponent's and breaking through their defenses is called a 'card break.' Playing a lower card results in your attack being deflected. Even powerful cards can be deflected if the enemy's card is higher. Whoever is on the losing side of a break is left wide open to attacks. Don't let those people be the two of you."

Sora and Takato finding this interesting, then Leon said, "Cards with 0 as their value are special. No matter what card the enemy plays, you can break it with a zero card. But if play the zero card too soon, the enemy can break it with any card they play. In other words, it's the most powerful card if it comes last, and completely useless if it comes first. Try to make the most of it. Keep in mind to make sure that your deck is mixed with high and low cards. Now, it's time to teach you both how to stock cards. You don't have to use battle cards one at a time.

As I am certain you have already figured out by now. You can also place three cards on your Keyblades and use them all at once. This is called 'stocking' cards. Stocking cards and using them in threes is much stronger than using cards individually. Go on, give it a try. Stock any three cards in your deck."

Takato and Sora shared a look, then they gave each other a knowing nod, then Takato grabbed three cards, then slid them across his Keyblade, Sora did the same thing. Then Leon said, "The sum of your three cards becomes the value you play. The value is usually high and hard to break, and the combo attack deals a lot of damage. Don't hold back. Show me what you can do."

Then Takato charged in first, he slammed his Keyblade into the ground, then pushed himself forward, and struck at Leon, while shouting, "Sliding Dash!"

Then Sora followed after him, by unleashing a simple three hit combo, then Leon said, "Combo attacks aren't the only benefit of stocking your cards. Choose your cards carefully and you can unleash special abilities called 'sleights,' just like your Sliding Dash, Takato. Sleights come in all varieties, and each has it's own unique card combination. You should try it out once you've collected more cards and learned a sleight or two.

But keep one thing in mind. Every time you use stocked cards, you lose the first card you picked. You can't reload it. The lost card won't return until the end of the battle. Relying only on sleights will cause your cards to run out. That means trouble."

After the explanation, Leon walked up to Sora and Takato and asked, "Think you guys got the hang of it, Sora? Takato?"

Both boys nodded, then Sora said, "Yeah, more or less. I'll pick up the rest when I fight some real battles."

Takato nodded and said, "Yeah, same here. Although, I think I have a better understanding of the system then Sora here, mostly because of my history with other card games, but, yeah."

Then Leon took out a card and gave it to Sora, saying, "Here, I found this lying around, you guys take it." Sora accepted the card, then Leon said, "Remember what I told you and make good use of it."

***Obtained Simba Summon Card***

***Obtained Key Of Guidance Card***

And with that, Leon left, heading deeper into Traverse Town. Then Sora and Takato used another card to open yet another door, then, once the room was cleared of Heartless, Sora and Takato found another Door, this one they used the Key Of Guidance on. Once they stepped through it, they found, that they were now in the Vacant House, where Leon, Yuffie and Aerith were waiting.

Once they entered the room, Sora asked, "Aerith, have you forgotten us, too?"

Aerith then asked, "I don't know wether to say 'nice to meet you' or 'good to see you guys again.' I don't think I know you, but I still feel like you belong here."

"Yeah, exactly! Like we've never met, but it still doesn't feel weird knowing your names." Yuffie explained.

Then Sora said, "But we're telling you, we HAVE met. We took on the Heartless together. We were a team!"

Then Takato asked, "Hello! Takato Matsuki, lost prince of Hollow Bastion, your old home? Son of Ansem. Any of this ringing any bells?"

Then Leon said, "It feels like you're right... But I can't remember."

Sora scoffed, then he said, "Then I guess you won't remember what you told us before we left to fight that fake Ansem, then."

Takato folded up his arms and said, "Back in Hollow Bastion, when we sealed the Keyhole: 'We may never meet again...'"

Then Leon finished, "...but we'll never forget each other."

Then Sora threw his arm to the side as he and Takato exclaimed, "See, you do remember!"

Yuffie then turned to Leon and stated, "Their right, Leon! I remember you saying that, too."

Leon then folded his arms and said, "I guess I can't write it off as a coincidence, then."

Aerith then said, "I don't have any memory of it, but somehow I still remember. I think your hearts are doing the remembering for us."

Sora put his hand over his heart and he said, "Our...hearts?"

Takato thought about it, then he heard Aerith say, "We don't know you, guys, but your hearts are full of memories of us together. Those memories must resonate in our hearts, too. Maybe they tell us things we couldn't otherwise know."

Leon then asked, "So you're saying that Sora and Takato's memories are effecting ours?"

Aerith turned to Leon, then she said, "Their memories do seem to have a certain power."

Then Sora said, "Maybe it's like that guy said, then. This town is just an illusion. Something our memories created."

Then Aerith asked, "And..there's someone special to the both of you in this town?"

Takato then asked, "Wait a minute. How did you- oh, wait. I get it. Our memories are resonating with yours, telling you what happened."

Aerith turned to the boys and Sora said, "Hey, yeah! He's right! A couple of our friends are somewhere here in this town- ugh, I mean, Castle Oblivion."

"Castle Oblivion?" Yuffie asked, "What's that? There aren't any castles in here."

Takato shook his head and said, "That's not what he means."

Then Aerith asked, "Neither of you are still uncertain of what's going on yourself. Right?"

Sora and Takato nodded and said, "Right."

Then Takato said, "We just got here, after all."

Then Sora said, "I think it would be a good idea to get a better look around town."

Then Leon said, "Then go have a walk around town. There are Heartless, but that's no problem for either of you guys."

Sora then put his hands behind his head and asked, "So you know we can fight?"

Leon then said, "I can't say I know, but I feel like believing the two of you. Let's leave it at that."

Then Yuffie walked up to Takato and handed him another golden card and said, "Here, I have a feeling that you boys are going to be needing this."

***Obtained Key To Truth***

Once Sora and Takato left the Vacant house, they proceeded to go through more and more rooms, cutting down as many Heartless as they can, throughout this, Takato was getting a weird feeling, 'This is very strange. I don't know what it could be, but something is telling me that there is something off about this place, but I don't know what.' Takato then looked down at his Keyblades and thought, 'Kairi, once we get out of this mess, I'll tell you everything I remember from our past, and hopefully, help you remember as well.'

Then Sora and Takato walked up to the final Door, with a glowing silver crown over it, then the two boys shared a look, then Sora lifted the Key To Truth to the door, and walked through.

Once they passed through the door, they found themselves in the Second District, and standing in the center of the area, was Cid. The gang then ran up to Cid, who turned around and said, "Well, whaddaya know? It's Sora and Takato!" Cid then brushed his hair and he asked, "Wait, what am I saying? I don't know either of you. But you do look like a Sora, what with the spiky hair and baggy pants, and you are definitely a Takato, Goggles and all."

Sora then said, "It's okay, Cid. Sora is my name, and he IS Takato."

Then Cid asked, "So, you've heard of me, eh?" Cid then rubbed his nose and said, "Well, can't say I'm surprised."

Sora then said, "Well, maybe you can help us out. A few friends of ours are supposed to be somewhere in this castle-er, town."

Takato then asked, "Got any ideas?"

Cid then turned to our heroes and asked, "Your friends, huh? Lately all this town sees is Heartless. Can't even take two steps without gettin' attacked."

Takato then said, "Tell me about it."

Then Cid said, "In fact, this plaza's the worst. Word is, a jumbo sized Heartless shows up when that bell rings. If you value your hide, you'll get outta here while the gettin's good." Cid then turned and left.

Then Goofy said, "Gawrsh, maybe we should leave."

Sora then turned and asked, "Don't you want to see the Heartless?"

Then Donald stomped his webbed foot and shouted, "NO, we DON'T!"

Takato then said, "Sora, we've seen several Heartless, every five steps there's a new one popping up. So I doubt that this one will be any different."

But it had seemed that fate had other things planned. As just then, the bell began ringing, and everyone jumped in surprise and turned to the gizmo shop, then Hazzardmon said, "It seems to me, like we're not getting a choice today, right, Takatomon?"

Said Goggle-Prince chuckled and said, "Seems like it, boy."

Everyone started looking around, heading in deep panic mode. Then Donald said, "The bell!"

Then Goofy said, "Be careful, guys!"

Hazzardmon then looked to Takato and said, "If you need my help in this, give me a call."

Sora and Takato nodded, then everyone took a battle stance, and soon, giant pieces of purple set of armor fell from the sky, then the pieces came together to form, the legendary Voltron! No, wait, that's not right, let me double check to make sure I got this right. Let me see, where is it, where is it? Ah! Yes, here it is. Guard Armor. That's it. Sora and Takato looked at one another, and nodded, Takato then grabbed three cards and slid them across his Keyblade, then proceeded to open up a can of pain onto Guard Armor.

Both boys used every card in their arsenal, using every combination that they could muster, but then, when Takato struck at the Guard Armor, four cards dropped, Sora, being the closest to them, grabbed them, one was a weird green card with the Kings seal on it, while the other three were, "Hey, Takato, catch!"

Sora then threw the cards at Takato, who caught the cards, then looked at them, then, he smiled. Then brought all three cards to his chest and said, "HAZZARDMON!"

Then Sora raised the green card to the sky, and the Guard Armor fell to pieces, then Hazzardmon appeared and he noticed the Guard Armor, then he smirked. "Oh, yeah, I'm gonna enjoy this." He brought his hands together, and with red and white lights gathering together, he then pushed his hands forward, while shouting, "HAZARD'S LIGHT!"

Then, with the Heartless still down, Takato and Sora charged up three Blizzard spells, then, just as Hazzardmon's attack was about to hit, both boys brought their Keyblades in front of them and shouted out, "BLIZZAGA!" Then, the three attacks collided with the Guard Armor, and destroying it completely.

Then the head of the Guard Armor began shaking rapidly, until it fell off, then it released a crystal heart into the night sky, then the body turned into a card, which floated down to Takato, once he grabbed it he asked, "Huh? What's this?"

***Obtained Guard Armor Enemy Card***

Once the Heartless was gone, everyone gathered around, then Yuffie asked, "So your friends weren't here?"

Takato shook his head and said, "Guess not. Don't think we'll find them in this town."

Sora nodded and said, "But their somewhere in this castle. I just know it."

Cid then asked, "Castle? Like this whole town's inside some humongous castle? Hoo, that's rich!"

Leon then said, "They're probably right, Cid. We may not understand what's going on, but Sora and Takato do. They can see that reality is bigger than just this world."

Then Takato leaned against a wall and sighed, then he said, "I wish we were that sure. But, we barely know what's going on ourselves. My experience from being a Tamer is telling me that we're in the middle of a trap, but what it is, I don't know."

Then Leon said, "You'll both be okay, Sora. Takato. No matter what shape reality takes, you guys can handle it. I may not remember either of you, but I know you in my heart."

Both Sora and Takato looked up at the man who once went by the name, Squall Leonheart, then they both said, "Leon..."

Then Yuffie said, "Take care, you guys."

Cid rubbed his head, then he said, "I'm a little lost...but best of luck anyway."

Then the gang who will one day be known as the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee walked off, back to the First District.

Then Donald, Goofy, and Hazzardmon, all walked off into the direction of the third district, then Takato turned to Sora and said, "Come on, we have to keep moving forward, Sora."

Sora nodded, then both boys started to head for the Third District, only for Aerith to stop them, both boys turned to face the kind hearted girl, then Takato asked, "Aerith?"

And Sora asked, "What's up?"

Then Aerith said, "I don't have all the answers, but I had to tell you guys something. Your memories created this town, right?"

Sora and Takato nodded, then Takato said, "Yeah, that's right."

And Sora said, "Well, that's what the guy in the black coat who gave us this card said."

Then Aerith said, "If that's the case, then this town is just a figment of your minds...and so are we."

Then Sora said, "But.. you can't be a figment! You're standing right here. This town's here, too!"

But Aerith shook her head, and she said, "But I'm not really me. I don't remember things I should. And I sense things I shouldn't. Sora, Takato, beware your memories. In the journey to come, you'll be faced with more illusions. Sometimes the shadows of your memory will deceive both of you, try to lead you astray."

Then Sora asked, "So, uh...what exactly does that mean?"

Takato was about to ask something else, when he had to rub his eyes, after he did so, his goggles fell over his eyes, when he opened them, to move the goggles up, where Aerith was standing, was now a girl, who looked no older then Kairi, with golden blond hair, and a white dress, but it was the sad look on her face that took Takato by surprise. Then Takato saw the girl's lips move, but Aerith's voice came from the girl's mouth, "I'm sorry. I'm just another illusion. The truth is out of my reach."

Then Sora said, "Don't say stuff like that. It's depressing..."

Then the girl, who was still speaking in Aerith's voice, said, "Stay strong, both of you. Don't let the illusions distract you from what's truly important."

Sora didn't say anything for a bit, then he nodded and said, "...Okay."

Takato was about to ask who the girl was, when Donald's voice came from behind both boys. "Sora! Takato!" The boys turned to see their friends, waiting for them.

Then Goofy asked, "Are you guys ready to go?"

Then Hazzardmon nodded and said, "Yeah, we're not going to get anywhere just standing around."

Then Sora said, "Yeah, be right there."

Takato nodded, then he and Sora turned to Aerith/the mysterious blond haired girl, and said, "Well, we better be going."

But when the boys turned around, Aerith was gone. Then Sora asked, "Aerith?" Sora and Takato looked around and asked again, "Aerith!"

Then Donald asked, "What about Aerith?"

Sora then said, "Where did she go? We were just talking to her!"

Then Goofy said, "Aerith left with Leon and the others, remember?"

Sora and Takato turned to the others and asked, "Huh!?"

Then Hazzardmon said, "You worried us. Just standing there by yourselves."

Sora then looked around and asked, "Is this what she meant?"

Takato shrugged and said, "Could be, Sora. Could be." But he was thinking something else. 'Who was that girl? And why is it that Aerith's voice came from her lips? Something's not right about this. I just know it.' Then both boys turned and followed after their friends.

What is going on? What did Aerith mean about not letting illusions distracting Sora and Takato? What Mysteries await our heroes inside Castle Oblivion? Why am I even writing this closing questions? Some of these will be answered, and others, will remain a mystery. But until next time.
