Chapter 5: Darkness Invasion
Good morning everyone." Kairi said, to Sora and Riku when we got to the café we were meeting at. "Morning, girls." Riku said, "So tomorrow's the big day, huh." Sora said, "Yep sure is, we'll set sail tomorrow morning. Everyone ready?" Riku asked, "I am." Kairi said, "I am too, but I'm kind of nervous." I said, "Aw, do you have to leave?" Sephie asked as she was walking to the island with Tidus and Wakka. "Yes, we do, especially if we want to get Dakota home." Riku said, "Well, we'll miss you." Tidus said, "Come back and visit sometime. Wakka said, "And remember, if the seas get too rough, you can all ways come home." Tidus said, "Thanks, guys, but we'll be okay." Riku said, "Alright, good luck, you guys. See you on the island." Sephie said, leaving with the others. "Come on everyone eat up, and we'll finish preparations for our trip tomorrow." Riku said,
While we finished eating Amy and the others were flying around the island, making sure no Heartless were around and making sure no servant of darkness was watching them or the others. Emily stopped at the place where the raft was left and couldn't help but admire it
"They did a real good number on the raft, didn't they?" She said, to herself, "They sure did." Amy said, coming up behind surprising her, "Sorry, didn't mean to startle you." She said, "No problem, Amy so, tomorrow's the big day. I hope they're ready." Emily said, "Hey, Emily?" Amy asked, "Yeah." She replied, "Do you think they'll be afraid of us?" Amy asked, "Of course they wouldn't why would you ask such a thing?" Emily asked, "Because every time we tried to warn someone of the incoming darkness, they would all ways ether never believe us or they would be scared of us because the Heartless were already there. What if the same thing happens with them?" Amy said,
"I can't believe it's been three years since we've been cursed to look like the Heartless. And they have already been attacking worlds for six years at the time of our arrival." Amy said grimly remembering everything they had gone through under the care (if she can even call it that) of that evil witch. "Is that why you don't want us to be seen by the others because you're afraid they'll be scared of what they see on the outside?" Emily spoke up, "Yeah, it is." Amy said, "Amy, you know as well as I do that Sora, Riku, Kairi, and Dakota are way different then everyone else we've met. They'll see us for who we really are, but that doesn't matter right now the worlds need us they need Sora as well only a Keyblade master can save them now." Emily said, "I just hope they don't face the same fate as the last ones." Amy said,
"Are you referring to the three Keyblade welders King Mickey told us about?" Emily said, "Yes, I am, the more I watch them, the more they remind me of their predecessors. Sora being exactly like the boy who fought his own darkness and ended up losing his heart in the process, which led to him falling into a deep slumber. Kairi even though she doesn't have as many similarities as the true master and mage; but I'm sure once she matures there similarities will show. As for Riku, well he does seem to have some things in common with the oldest." Amy explained, "Except his thick-headedness." Emily said, Amy, let out a laugh, "Yes, you're right, but Riku will do anything to protect the others, just like he did. I wonder whatever happened to him I hope he was able to win his battle with the darkness inside of him." Amy said, "Yeah, Mickey never told us much about him. We should ask him once we see him again." Emily said
"But either way, Ventus, Aqua, and Terra were and still are some of the best Keyblade welders out there. If they were available, it would be an honor to fight with them. I bet Ventus would love Dakota and Sora." Emily said, "Yeah, I'm sure they would get along quite well." Amy said Emily and Amy sat in silence watching the sunrise for a while when "Emily, Amy!" Chloe said, running up to them, "What is it, Chloe?" Emily asked, "Sephie, Tidus, and Wakka are here. And Sora and the others are coming too." Chloe explained, "Well, is that all?" Emily asked, "That's not all. I sense a strong dark presence coming from the secret cave." Chloe said, "Secret cave? Do you know what this means?" Amy asked, alarmed, "It means we're going back into hiding." Emily said, "No, it means the door is almost open." Amy said, "Chloe, go tell the others to stay on high alert. If there is someone here from the outside world that shouldn't be here, we need to protect Sora and the others." Amy said,
"I'll tell them immediately." Chloe said, flying off, "What about the rest of us?" Emily asked, "We'll split up for the day if we're lucky we can delay the Heartless until tomorrow." Amy said, and the two sisters flew off to join the others.
Sora and I arrived on the island, and we said hi to Sephie, Tidus, and Wakka. And we went to the cove to where the raft was Riku was already waiting for us. "Hey, you two." He said, "Hi, Riku." I said, cheerfully, "Hey, Sora. Our raft still needs a name. Let's see… How about Highwind?" Riku asked, "That's a nice name." I said, "Yeah, it's not bad, but." Sora said, "Well, what would you call it?" Riku asked, "Hmm, well, what about Excalibur?" Sora suggested, "Hey, how 'bout." Riku said, "The usual?" Sora said, "Let's do it." Riku said, "You guys at it again? All right, I'll be the judge." Kairi said, walking up to us, "The usual rules apply: Take any route you want… First one to tag that tree and make it back here wins. "Kairi explained,
"If I win, uh I'm the captain! And if you win…" Sora said, "I get to share the paopu with Kairi." Riku said, "Huh?" Sora asked, "Deal? The winner gets to share a paopu with Kairi." Riku said, "Wha… Wait a minute..." Sora said, "Okay, on my count: 3, 2, 1, go!" Kairi yelled, and off they went. I couldn't see what happened due to the racecourse blocking my view, but in the end, Sora won the race "Hey man lighting up it's just a name." Riku teased which resulted in Sora glaring at him.
"So guess that means I'm sharing a poapu fruit with Kairi." Sora said, "Oh that was just a joke. You should've seen the look on your face." Riku said, "Very funny Riku." I said, sarcastically, "Yeah, hilarious." Kairi said, rolling her eyes with a smile, "Enough joking around, I have a job for you two." Kairi said, pointing to Sora and me, "Whatcha need Kairi?" I asked, "Meet me by the raft, and we'll talk." Kairi said, walking off, "Better not keep her waiting. You guys go on ahead, and I'll see you later. Sora talk to me if you want a rematch later." Riku said, "Alright, it's a deal." Sora said, and we went to the raft.
"So, what do you need Kairi?" I asked, "So, today we collect provisions for our trip!" Kairi explained, "Let's see you two are looking for… One seagull egg, three mushrooms, two coconuts, three fish, and fill this up with drinking water. But not from the ocean!" Kairi explained, giving Sora a bottle "Hey, Sora? Why can't we drink water from the ocean? I asked, "Because the water is too salty." Sora replied, "Oh, I get it," I said, "Alright, you two get going, don't forget to bring everything back here, okay?" Kairi said, "Okay, Kairi." We replied, "So where should we look first?" I asked
Sora, and I went around the island looking for supplies, we found the seagull egg in a tree, we also got two coconuts from hitting trees as well, we caught three fish using our swords and we got two out of the three mushroom one was in a small cave behind a bolder and the other was in the sand. We just finished filling the bottle up with fresh water from the spring. All the while, Emily and the others were watching us.
"Amy!" Chloe called, "Emily, Chloe, what's wrong?" Amy asked, "We saw someone enter the secret cave where the islands keyhole is located." Emily said, "Are you sure it's not just one of the islanders?" Amy asked, "I'm positive. I sensed the same strong dark presence from earlier." Chloe said, "I saw him; he went into the cave." Cindy said, flying over to the "What did this person look like?" Amy asked, fearing the worst "You'll have to see it to believe it." Cindy said, leading the way the others arrived just as Sora and I entered the cave.
I've been in it before I loved using it for shade from the hot sun, I also loved looking at the drawings that Sora, Riku, and Kairi made over the years the area was small it was a cave after all but in the back had a big door but there was no way to open it.
"No doorknob or keyhole what kind of door is this?" I asked, "No idea, this has been here for as long as anyone can remember." Sora said, looking at it "Wonder what's behind it?" he said, "I don't think I want to know." I said as a shiver ran up my back, "Hey, Sora, I found another mushroom." I said, picking it I looked over at Sora and saw him looking at the self-portrait of himself and Kairi that they made when they were my age. I had a vision flash before my eyes of them making them. They were young and happy I saw Sora pick up a rock and drew himself giving a poapu fruit to Kairi that's when I felt Sora's deep love for her "You really do love her don't you?" I asked, "Yeah, I really do." Sora replied, "I think she loves you too." I said, trying not to give away the secret Kairi, and I made "Hey, Dakota, why don't you want to know what's behind this door?" Sora asked, I touched the door and felt all kinds of emotions: Sadness, hatred, anger, and other negative feelings
They overwhelmed me, and I fell backward I was breathing deeply, I looked up at Sora, and he saw my face was white as a sheet I had tears in my eyes and cold sweat was dripping down my face. "So, what did you feel?" Sora asked, "I felt power, terrible power. Whatever is behind that door, it should never be opened." I said, getting up, "She can feel the darkness." Emily said, witnessing everything "Shhh." Amy shushed, "huh, look." Cindy gasped, pointing at a person Amy's eyes widened in horror as she recognized the being immediately "Imposable." Emily said, "It isn't." Cindy said, "It can't be." Chloe said, "It is." Amy said, as all the horrible memories came back to her, "Wh-who's there's?" Sora asked when he heard Cindy's voice we looked and found the same man they were watching. "I've come to see the door to this world." The man said. He was tall, much older than Sora and I and he wore a tan cloak that hid his face and arms the moment I looked at him I felt a sense of unease like I know this man had bad intentions in mind.
"Huh?" Sora asked, "Who are you really?" I asked, tightening the grip on my sword "This world has been connected." The man explained, "Wh-what, are you talking about?" Sora asked, "Tied to the darkness... Soon to be completely eclipsed." The man continued, "Well, whoever you are, stop freaking me out like this." Sora said, "Yeah, you tell him, Sora." Emily said as she was about to show herself, but Amy stopped her "What are you doing?" She asked, "Saving them, we all know who this man is he'll hurt them!" Emily explained, "We can't show ourselves to him, or we'll really be in trouble. Let's just watch." Amy said, "Huh? Wh-where did you come from?" Sora asked, "You do not yet know what lies beyond the door." The man said, "So you're from another world!" Sora realized, "There is so very much to learn. You understand so little." The man said, "Oh, yeah? Well, you'll see. We're gonna get out and learn what's out there!" Sora said,
"A meaningless effort. One who knows nothing can understand nothing." The man said Sora and I looked at the door for a moment when we looked back to face him he was gone "Where did he go?" I asked, "I have no idea." Sora replied, "One who knows nothing can understand nothing. What kind of nonsense is that?" I asked, "I have no idea, but it sounds like a lot of hooey. Come on we have everything we need let's go back to Kairi and Riku and tell them about this." Sora said, "Yeah, maybe they would have an idea what we just saw." He said, "Yeah, let's go this gives me the creeps." I said, and we left the secret cave.
After what we saw Emily and the others decided to keep an eye on us, they followed us back to the raft where we saw Kairi making something.
"Hey, Kairi what are you making?" I asked, "Oh, this? I'm making a neckless of Thalassa shells. In the old days, sailors always wore Thalassa shells. They were supposed to ensure a safe voyage. See this?" Kairi said, showing us the star-shaped charm she was making.
"It's a charm to help us find each other if we ever get separated. The three of us we'll always be together." Kairi said, "So what do you two need?" She asked, "We have everything we need." I said, "Wait, everything." Riku said, "Walking up to us, "yep, everything. But something happened in the secret cave." Sora said, and we explained everything, "Well if you ask me, I say it was just one of the grown up's trying to scare us." Riku said, "But why would they do that?" Sora asked, "I don't know adults are wired." Riku replied, "But your parents are okay with us, leaving right?" I asked, "Yes, they are, but they're probably just worried about us." Kairi said, "Or maybe they just don't want us to be disappointed if we don't find anything." Riku said, "But we have to my home is out there." I said, "Don't worry, we'll find it, I promise. Come on everyone it's starting to get late let's watch the sunset for a while and head home." Riku said, "Okay, Riku." We all said,
"Hey, Dakota?" Riku asked as we were walking, "Yes, Riku." I replied, "Have you ever heard the saying don't believe everything you hear?" He asked, "No, never." I replied, "it means don't believe everything people say to you, people will say things that aren't always true, don't ever let someone try to make you think differently about something you know might be wrong. Listen to your heart is what I'm trying to say." Riku said, "Don't worry, Riku, I won't let anyone make me do the wrong thing, I promise." I said, "Now, that's a good girl." He said, patting me on the head.
All of us enjoyed the evening together, for once we didn't sit on the poapu tree, Sora and Kairi were sitting on the dock together I was going to sit with them, but Riku pulled me aside
"Let those two love birds be, they should have a moment together." Riku said, "What do you mean by love birds?" I asked, "There's a type of bird called a love bird whenever they find a mate they stay together forever. So whenever someone sees two people in love, they sometimes call them love birds." Riku explained
"That's really cute, wait, you know Sora like's Kairi?" I asked, "Yeah, Sora's been crushing on her since we were kids." Riku said, "But you like her, too don't you?" I asked, "I do, but I know her heart belongs to Sora. I know you're probably too young to understand, but you might find someone you may want to be with sometimes they will love you back, but sometimes they may just love you as a friend or a sister. And you will find that you may just want to stay friends too." Riku explained, "I get it, why force love when there wasn't any there, to begin with." I said, "That's a good way to put it. You catch on fast." Riku said, "I guess I'm just a fast learner." I said, "You know I love you. Why does love have to be so confusing?" I asked, "I'm not sure." He replied, "Well, there is one we love about love." I said, "Oh yeah, what would that be?" Riku asked, "We love the way it makes us feel." I said, with a bright smile on my face, "You're right, we do love that feeling." Riku said, picking me up, "I love you, Riku, you're a great brother." I said, "Ha, I love you too." He said, holding me close.
"You know, Riku has changed." Kairi said, "What do you mean?" Sora asked, "Well… Hmm," Kairi said, "You okay?" Sora asked, "Sora, let's take the raft and go just the two of us." Kairi said, "Huh?" Sora asked, "Just kidding." Kairi giggled, "What's gotten into you? You're the one that's changed Kairi." Sora said, "Maybe… You know, I was a little afraid at first, but now I'm ready. No matter where I go or what I see, I know I can always come back here. Right?" Kairi asked, "Yeah, of course!" Sora said, "That's good. Sora, don't ever change." Kairi said, standing up, "Huh?" Sora asked, "I just can't wait. Once we set sail, it'll be great." Kairi said, "Come on, guys, it's getting late. We should go home." Riku called out, "Coming." Sora and Kairi said as we walked back to the boats we heard Emily and the others arguing again. "You know for people trying to be secret; they sure are bad at it." I said, "See? Even she admits it!" Emily shouted, "Emily, quiet!" Amy said, "Goodnight, girls." I said, "Goodnight, guys." They said as we were rowing away I could have sworn I saw what they looked like, little black creatures that resembled the ones that Sora and I fought in our dream.
"Alright, we have everything we need. We have food, medical supplies, and I'm sure we can give Riku and Kairi weapons to fight against the Heartless." Emily said, "Are we forgetting anything?" Chloe asked, "I'm not sure, Amy, what do you think?" Cindy asked, "It's too late." Amy said, staring outside, "Amy, what are you talking about?" Emily asked, "You saw that man, he's the one from Hollow Bastion. He found the world's keyhole and soon he'll come after Princess Kairi. The Heartless are coming, and they're coming tonight." Amy said, "What do we do know?" Chloe asked, "Our missions still the same. We have to protect them. Just be ready to fight." Amy said meanwhile at Disney Castle Donald, Goofy, Minnie, Daisy, Candy, and Rebecca was in the library reading Mickey's letter.
"Donald, sorry to rush off without sayin' goodbye, but there's big trouble brewin'. Not sure why, but the stars have been blinkin' out, one by one. And that means disaster can't be far behind. I hate to leave you all, but I've gotta go check into it. There's someone with a "key"—the key to our survival. So I need you and Goofy to find him and stick with him. Got it? We need that key, or we're doomed! So go to Traverse Town and find Leon. He'll point you in the right direction. P.S. Would ya apologize to Minnie for me? Thanks, pal. Mickey."
"Oh, dear, what could this mean?" Daisy asked, "It means we just have to trust the king." Minnie said, "Gawrsh, I sure hope he's alright." Goofy said, "Your Highness. Don't worry. We'll find the king and this "key." Donald said, "Thank you, both of you." Minnie said, "Daisy, can you take care of the?" Donald asked, "Of course. You be careful, now, both of you." Daisy said,
"Oh, and to chronicle your travels, he will accompany you." Minnie said, pointing to the table "Over here! Cricket's the name. Jiminy Cricket, at your service." He said, "We hope for your safe return. Please help the king." Minnie said, "You're coming too!" Donald said, taking Goofy with him, "Oh, Goody, another Key blade welder. Wonder if he'll meet the same fate the last batch did." Rebecca said, "Are you referring to the three Key blade welders that disappeared ten years ago?" Candy asked, "You bet I am. Sure, they may have stopped one disaster but at what cost? They're probably dead by now." Rebecca said, "Rebecca! You know as well as I do that there out there somewhere. Plus one of them is safely hidden. Besides, their master taught them well." Candy said, "Obviously, not well enough. Because the Heartless have been causing trouble for nine years now and I blame that idiot researcher." Rebecca said,
"Oh, you're blaming him?" Candy asked, "Of course I am if he haven't tried to unlock the hearts mystery's it wouldn't have led to the destruction of his world. No one should ever use hearts as data, there too unpredictable." Rebecca said, "Yeah, I can't argue with that. In this case, curiosity killed the cat." Candy said
Candy and Rebecca, followed Donald and Goofy to the Gummi hanger where the Gummi ship was kept. "Gawrsh. Jiminy. Your world disappeared, too?" Goofy asked, "It was terrible. We were scattered. And as far as I could see, I'm the only one who made it to this castle." Jiminy said, "Goofy?" Donald asked, "Oh, right… I gotcha. You mean while we're in other words, we can't let on where we're from, huh? We've got to protect the world border." Goofy said, "Order." Donald reminded, "Right. World order." Goofy laughed, casing Donald to sigh, "I guess we'll need new duds when we get there, huh." Goofy said
Donald and the others kept walking until they reached the Gummie hanger.
"Hello up there? Donald Duck to launch crew! Any time you're ready." Donald said to the ships handy chipmunks Chip and his younger brother Dale. Dale flipped a switch that had the handy helpers grab Donald and Goofy and put them in the ship and Pluto jumped right in. Minnie and Daisy came to see them off, and Donald gave them a thumbs up and a wink. "Blast off!" Donald shouted when the doors opened and a door opened beneath them, causing them quite the fright, but there were on their way.
Meanwhile back at the island, Amy and the others were on the watch after the man was seen earlier they knew it wouldn't be long before the island met the same fate as the other worlds. And shortly after we left to go home, dark storm clouds started rolling in, and the wind was picking up. "Any sign of the Heartless?" Emily asked, "Nothing yet. But it won't be long." Amy said, "Are we sure those are darkness clouds? Maybe it's just a summer storm." Chloe said,
"The forecast said it would be clear tonight. Plus those clouds look a little too ominous to be normal storm clouds." Amy said, "Don't look now, girls. But we've got trouble." Cindy said, pointing to the man standing by the ocean, "Okay, this stops now!" Emily said, flying off, "I couldn't agree more." Amy said, following her sisters lead, "So we meet again." The man said, "I was wondering when you would show yourselves." He said, "You knew we were here?" Chloe asked, "I had a feeling the king sent you here when that girl first came here. I have been watching you since the very first day… This world belongs to the darkness." The man said, and all of a sudden, a group of shadow Heartless surrounded them "Why are you doing this? What do you think you can gain from this?" Amy asked, "Something I've been planning for a long time… Tell me have any of you heard of Kingdom Hearts?" The man asked, causing Amy to gasp.
Anyway, Back at Sora's house, the two of us have been hanging out in his room and waiting for dinner. Sora was chillaxing in bed, but I was feeling uneasy, when we were walking home I pointed out the storm clouds to the others Riku said it was probably just going to rain, but I felt like it was something else. And as I was laying in the darkness, I felt like it was closing in around me. All I wanted to do was turn the lights on. (I just can't wait. Once we set sail, it'll be great.) Sora thought, remembering Kairi's words, "Hey Dakota, are you okay?" Sora asked, noticing I was breathing heavy "No, no I'm not fine Sora. Something wrong something bad is happening." I said, "What are you talking about, what's happening?"
Sora asked when we heard a clap of thunder Sora, and I looked outside "A storm?" Sora asked, "Oh no, the raft!" Sora exclaimed, "Come on, we have to go!" Sora said, Sora and I grabbed our swords and ran downstairs to where his mom was placing food for us. "Sora, Dakota dinners ready." She said, "Sorry, Mom dinner can wait. There's a storm coming, and it could destroy the raft." Sora said, "We'll be back in a bit, I promise." He said, opening the door letting a gust of strong wind blow in and nearly blew us away.
"How did the wind get so strong?" Sora asked, struggling to close the door behind him "This is not normal, something big is happening. Something evil." I said, "Come on, Dakota, let's check this out." Sora said, taking my hand as we ran off. As we ran, things were getting worse; thunder was crashing more frequently, and the wind was getting stronger so strong that it almost blew me away twice. Sirens were going off, and someone on a loudspeaker was saying things Sora, and I couldn't understand due to the wind. When we got near the island, people were lined up wondering what was going on. "What's happening?" Sora asked, "Something's going on over there. This is not a normal storm; the lighting's dark and the wind feels stronger than it should be." Tidus said, "Riku and Kairi want to check it out, but they haven't come back yet. I'm worried about them." Sephie said, "We'll go and find them." Sora said, "Good luck, and be careful." Wakka said, "Ready, Dakota? Huh, Dakota, are you alright?" Sora asked, "Sora, do you remember the dream we had yesterday?" I asked, "Yeah, of course, I do, but what does that have to do with—" he replied, "What if it wasn't just a dream but a warning." I said,
Meanwhile back at the island was chaos Heartless were everywhere and Emily and the others were fighting like their lives depended on it but just as they defeated some ten more would show up. "They don't give up easily, but neither do I." Emily said, using her rainbow wand to take them out, "Where is that man? We can't let him get to the keyhole, or it will be game over." Cindy said, "How could this get any worse?" Amy asked, "Uh, guys? Riku and Kairi are coming!" Chloe said, pointing to the boats coming towards them, "Me and my big mouth." Amy said, "Alright new plan, Emily and Cindy clear a path for Riku and Kairi to get them to safety. Chloe, you're with me, we can't let the Heartless destroy this world." Amy said, "Okay, I can do this." Chloe said when Riku and Kairi docked the first ones to greet them were two Shadow Heartless that tried to jump them thankfully, Emily and Cindy destroyed them. "We've been waiting for you." Emily said, "You shouldn't have come back; it's dangerous here." Cindy said,
"We couldn't let this storm destroy all our hard work. But it looks like you could use some help." Riku said, "Wait, you're not afraid of us?" Amy asked, "Of course I'm not; you're the girls that's been watching us right?" Riku asked, "Is it that obvious." Emily said, "Well, obvious enough." Kairi said, "Now can you tell us what are these things?!" Kairi asked, pointing to the Heartless that were surrounding them, "Oh, yeah, them." Emily said, "Look, we'll explain everything, but first we need to get you two to a safer place." Amy said, "Quick to the cave." Chloe said everyone rushed to the secret cave with Emily and Cindy clearing the way for them. Amy and Chloe led Riku and the others inside, but Kairi tripped, and the Heartless piled on her "Kairi!" Riku shouted, "Hands off, Princess Kairi!" Chloe shouted, taking the shadows out. Riku grabbed Kairi and took her inside, but she was in poor shape
"Is she going to be okay?" Riku asked, "I don't know she's hurt pretty bad. Here drink this." Amy said, giving Kairi a potion
"What is going on, and more importantly, who are you girls?" Riku asked, "We can't explain everything but long story short. Those creatures are called Heartless; they wander around searching for light once they find it they mess around in it, and the world falls into a deep darkness." Emily explained, "So what your saying is this world will be no more?" Kairi asked, weakly, "I'm afraid so Kairi. We were sent here to prevent this from happening. We were the ones who brought Dakota here. You see, we're not real Heartless we're angels that were cursed by an evil fairy three years ago." Amy explained, "So that's why you're here. But why didn't you tell us this before? Why did you stay hidden?" Riku asked, "Because I was afraid you would be scared or wouldn't believe us. We have tried to warn many people before, and they never trusted us because of the way we looked." Amy explained,
"I understand, you have every right to be wary about us trusting you. But I've known about you girls being around for a while now the least you could've done was at least talk to us even if you didn't want to show yourselves yet we could've taken it one step at a time." Kairi said, "I guess you're right. Thank you for understanding." Amy said, "Well, now that's out of the way how can we save the island?" Riku asked, "There isn't much you can do your wooden swords won't have any effect on them, but we'll find Sora and Dakota and get you all to safety." Amy explained, "Hey, Amy. I don't think we'll need to wait for long." Chloe said, "Why's that, Chloe?" Amy asked, "Because they're coming here now." Chloe said, "Alright, you guys know what to do. Kairi just rest we'll come back with Sora and Dakota and get you some real help. Come on; girls let's go." Amy said, and they flow off, "They can't do this alone. I'm going with them." Riku said, "Riku don't I can't let you get hurt." Kairi said, still feeling really weak "Don't worry, I'll be fine just stay here. I'll be back with the others I promise." Riku said, leaving when someone standing by the poapu tree caught his eye.
"Who are you? What are you doing here in this storm?" Riku asked when he got to the poapu tree "I sense restlessness in your heart… you wish to be free from this prison and explore the outside world. I was just like you when I lived here long ago." The man said, "You're from another world? Wait, you're the man Sora and Dakota told me about." Riku said, "Come with me, and I can show you incredible things. And I can show you how to unlock the power in your heart. I can show you how to use the power of darkness." The man said, just then a rainbow beam came between them. "Stay away from that boy!" Emily said, landing in front of Riku, "Riku don't listen to him. He works for our enemy he's the one that started this." Emily said, "You remind me so much of him… A young man I once helped embrace the darkness in his heart. I can help you do the same; all you need to do is open the door." The man said as if Emily wasn't even there, "What about my friends? I can't leave them behind, and one of them is badly hurt." Riku said, "They can come. I can even take that little girl back to her homeworld." He said, "That's a lie!" Emily shouted, "Dakota doesn't even come from this universe."
"Wait, she doesn't?!" They both said, for once the man seemed surprised by this news, "Look Riku, you're a smart kid, the choice is yours who do you trust more him or me?" Emily said, "I'm sorry, Emily, I do trust you, but I wanted to visit other worlds since I was young. And this feels like the right thing to do. Alright, I'll go with you." Riku said, to the man, "A wise choice, indeed." The man said laughing evilly "You just made the biggest mistake of your life kid. Your fate is sealed." Emily said, just then the island started rumbling, and a giant dark void appeared right above where they were standing, "What is that?!" Riku asked, "That is trouble!" Emily said, "Emily!" Amy shouted, "The Heartless broke, though. They got to the keyhole." She said, "What about Kairi?" Emily asked, "She was trying to protect it with us, but the heartless got her pretty bad. I don't think her heart is going to make it." Amy said, "This world is going down." She said, "If I'm going down, I'm taking you down with me." Emily said, to Riku, "Guys! Sora and Dakota are already here. Come on. We have to help them." Chloe said, "She's right. Don't go anywhere you've down enough." Emily said to Riku and they flow off
"What's that?" Sora asked, looking at the void, "I have no idea, but this is worse than I thought." I said, "Riku's boat. And Kairi's!" Sora said, "Just like Sephie said," I said, just then two shadows appeared, and Sora and I remembered them from our dream "Aww, there cuter then I remembered." I said, "Yeah, and dangerous." Sora said when one tried to swipe at him, "I can't do any damage." He said when his sword bounced off its head, "Don't bother, your swords will do nothing." Amy said with Emily by her side. They both used their rainbow wands to destroy the shadows "Hey, you're the ones that have been keeping an eye on us." I said, "You're as quick as a whip kid." Emily said,
now that I got to see them in person, I got a better look at what they looked like. They looked just like the shadows that attacked us, but they were standing more like a person would they had five fingers instead of three but they were still claws. Their antennas fell to the sides of their heads instead of being draped in front of their faces they had a mouth and normal eyes both of them shared the same brown eyes, but Emily was wearing a green short-sleeved shirt, and an orange skirt. Amy, on the other hand, was wearing the same style shirt, but it was teal, and her skirt was dark blue.
"Come on no time to explain to the seaside shack," Amy said, we ran as fast as we could, and Emily and Amy cleared the way for us we got to the seaside shack and found that the heartless couldn't follow us. "We'll be safe here." Amy said, they led us to the save spot, and I got to meet the last two members of the group, "Thank goodness you're here." Chloe said, "You're safe. I'm so happy."
Cindy said Cindy and Chloe looked just like Emily and Amy, but Chloe was a centimeter shorter due to being the youngest. Both of them had blue eyes. Cindy was wearing a dark blue shirt, and a pink skirt like mine and Chloe was wearing a dark pink shirt and a lighter pink skirt.
"I like your shirt." I said, "Thanks, I have a yellow one too. I'll show you later." Chloe said, "No time for chit chat. We've got to get out of here." Amy said, "But what about Riku and Kairi?" Sora asked, "Don't worry, we're not leaving without them." Emily said, "Riku is by the paopu tree and that big dark, scary void." Chloe said, "And Kairi is in the secret cave, but she's in bad shape. And there's too many Heartless for us to get her out safely." Cindy said,
"Let's go and get Riku first he can help us save Kairi." I said, "As you say, fearless leader." Emily said, mocking a salute, "What does she mean by that?" I asked, "Hehe, I'll tell you later. Here take these, your weapons will do nothing against the Heartless use them instead." Amy said, handing Sora a sword and giving me a wand with a Mickey head. "Hey, we used these in our dreams." I said, "You sure did. I was going to give you the same wand we use, but we don't have time to let it sync up with your heart. Plus the darkness will play a big interference. So, just make do with this for now." Amy said, "Okay, I understand." I said, "So shall we?" Sora asked, "We shall. We don't have much time left." Amy said, "Remember everyone, our goal is to get to Riku don't bother with the Heartless unless completely necessary got it?" Amy asked, "We got it." We said, "Alright on the count of three. 1, 2." Amy counted, "3!" Sora and I said, running out, "Something tells me we should expect this to happen a lot." Emily said,
before rushing after us. Sora and I saw Riku standing near the paopu tree thanks to our new weapons we cut though the Heartless like butter
"Riku!" We called, out when we got to him, "Riku the island is under attack! At first, I thought there were cute, but they're actually really clingy." I said, taking a few Heartless out, "The door has opened…" Riku said, "What?" Sora asked, "The door has opened, Sora! Now we can go to the outside world!" Riku said, "What are you talking about? We've got to save Kairi!" Sora said, "Kairi's coming with us! Not only that. But Dakota and our new friends are coming to," Riku said, to our surprise "Once we step though, we might not be able to come back. We may never see our parents again. There's no turning back. But this may be our only chance. We can't let fear stop us! I'm not afraid of the darkness!" Riku said, "You don't know what you're getting yourself into! The darkness may seem like a good idea, but it's an evil power that should never be tampered with. It can make you lose yourself; it could make you lose your heart." Emily explained, but Riku's mind was made up and a puddle made from darkness formed around him and Sora. "Riku." Sora said, "Oh, no, I'm not getting near that." I said, stepping away, "You are a smart kid." Emily said,
The darkness spread across Sora, and Riku's body's and Sora was trying his best to grab his hand, but the spreading darkness was making it hard to all the while I was holding Chloe in my arms as Amy, and the others tried to protect me
"Riku, don't do it!" Chloe shouted, "Don't leave us. We need you!" I pleaded, just when the darkness engulfed the two a spark of light shined through the blackness and Sora was free, but Riku was gone. "Where did he go? Riku?" Sora asked, "To another world, I'm afraid." Amy said, "Hey, what's that." I said, pointing the over-sized key that materialized in his hand. "A Keyblade!" Amy said, in wonder, "So you are the one we're looking for." Chloe said, "What's a keyblade, and why do I have it?" Sora asked, "A weapon used all the way back from ancient times. Also, it's the best weapon to be used against the Heartless." Emily explained, "So I can use this to rescue Kairi?" Sora asked, hopeful, "You bet you can let's go save your girlfriend, woo!" Emily said, rushing off, "Um, she's not my girlfriend." Sora said, "Don't worry; she does this." Amy said, "Come on guys; let 's do this." I said, using his new keyblade, we made it to the secret cave, but there was a door blocking the entrance.
"Um, since when was there a door here?" I asked, "The light must be trying to protect Kairi. Come on. She needs us." Amy said,
we went inside and found Kairi "Kairi!" Sora and I shouted, "Sora, Dakota." Kairi said weakly I got a good look at her: her face was pale, and she had some scratches on her arms from the Heartless attacks. Kairi tried to walk over to us but the door opened, and a flood of darkness pushed her to us Sora tried to catch her, but she didn't crash into us she disappeared inside of him. The wind blew us back outside, and we landed on a chunk of the island rising in the air.
"Huh? Woah!" Sora said, seeing how far up we were. We looked back and saw the same giant tree-like monster from our dream, "What is that thing!" I exclaimed, "It's called a Dark side. A gigantic pureblood Heartless." Amy explained, "Don't worry, I can get us out of here. I'm sorry, Sora, but we can't save your island. Brace yourselves, everyone, this will be a bumpy ride." Amy said she waved her rainbow wand and pointed it to the ground, but nothing happened. "Oh, no!" Amy said, "What's wrong?" We asked, "The wand doesn't have enough power. The darkness is too strong; it can't find the light." Amy said, "Great, what do we do now?" Sora asked, "Look out!" I yelled when the Dark side lounged at us.
"We do what we normally do. Fight like our lives depends on it!" Emily shouted, "Hey, Sora, do you remember how to fight this thing?" I asked, "You bet I do." Sora replied, "Aim for the arms." We said, "Be careful of the dark puddle it creates, Shadows will come out of it." Cindy said, "Don't worry, we remember." We said
all of us fought the Dark side the best we could, but Sora and I were unexperienced even though I was able to dodge with ease, doing damage to it was not easy with the wand I was using. As I was hitting its arm, the other one grabbed me
"Ahhhh!" I screamed, "Put me down, you big brut!" I said, hitting it with my wand "This wand does nothing." I said, throwing it away, "Wait, that's it. A sword, hand me a sword quick!" I shouted, "Do what she says." Sora said, trying to get me down Emily grabbed the one Sora used before he got his Key blade from Amy's backpack and threw it to me I caught it and dug it into its arm. The Dark side let out a scream of pain and dropped me, and Emily and the others caught me before I could hit the ground
"It's weakened." Emily said seeing the Dark side nursing its injured arm "I think it's time for a little convergence magic." Emily said, "I think you're right, Sora? Follow our lead." Amy said we all gathered around Sora and touched our weapons together causing a spark of light Sora then did a backflip in the air with the rest us circling around him in mid-air finally we pointed our weapons at the Dark side and a giant beam of light destroyed it. "We did it!" I exclaimed when I landed "Yes we did, but we're not out of the woods yet. Hang on girls we're taking a detour." Amy said, "Brace yourselves for impact!" Emily exclaimed, holding onto a nearby tree.
Sora was holding on to a broken piece of wood, and I was hanging on to Sora. But the pull of the dark void was too strong, and we all got pulled into the void "Don't be afraid you'll be okay." Amy's said to us, "Just remember, keep your light burning strong." She said just then light blinded us and the next thing we knew we were falling to a strange world.
