The alarms sounded off on the main island. Most believed it to be a tsunami or a hurricane. One of the two. However, upon leaving their homes, that was when everyone realized that this truly was the end of the world. Up in the sky, there was a giant orb that that obsorbing the life out of the planet. Trees were getting pulled, and so were fences and even houses. Everyone was to get to the shelter immediately. Nimbus, Cielo and Sora ran into the multitudes of people, trying to get away from the unknown.
"Where are we going?" asked Sora.
"To the shelters dear. We'll stay there until the storm passes." said Cielo.
"But Mom! What about the others?" asked Sora. He was worried for Riku and Kairi.
"They will get to the shelter no problem." said Nimbus.
Just then, a frantic man came running around screaming for his son. "Has anyone seen himi! My son! He's missing! Please! Find him!" cried the man in a panic. Another man, a fruit vendor, stopped in front of him.
"Riku? You can't find Riku?" asked the man.
"I don't know where he went!" cried Riku's father. Sora felt great pain watching the man's terrified face.
Sora looked out into the horizon and saw the island where they played. It then struck him that is where Riku probably was.
"Did you check the island!" cried Sora pointing off at the Island's direction.
"He couln'dt!" cried Riku's father.
Just then, two more adults arrived. They were Kairi's parents. And they were horrified.
"Don't bother going to the shelters everyone. It's all over. We lost our home." said Kairi's father.
"What do you mean man!? We are going to hide from this storm!" cried Nimbus.
"No Nimbus. It's true. This is the end. This is how we lost our homeworld years ago." said Kairi's mother.
Sora felt cold and he wanted the ground to swallow him up. He then looked out into the horizon and to his horror, he saw Kairi on a lifeboat, heading towards the island!
"Kairi!" cried Sora. He then ran out from the crowd and Nimbus and Cielo watched in horror as Sora ran.
"No! Sora! Come back!" cried Nimbus and Cielo. But it was too late, Sora took off and went to the docks.
Once he arrived, he realized there was no boat that would take him to the island. He wanted to go there and help Kairi. Something was going on, and he needed to see if he can help. But he had no way of crossing over.
He closed his eyes, and then he felt a warm hand on his shoulder.
He didn't open his eyes just yet. For with his eyes closed, he saw a vision. Ventus himself was standing by his side. He looked at Sora and smiled with tears in his eyes.
"May your heart be your guiding key, little brother." said Ventus. He then grabbed Sora's hand and he kissed it. He then said something Sora couldn't make out, and then in a flash, something began to glow on Sora's hand.
He opened his eyes and there right on his hand was a large key shaped sword.
"The Keyblade." whispered Ventus's voice inside Sora's head.
Sora then felt the Keylbade vibrate, and then in a matter of seconds, a large bridge of light appeard out of nowhere. And it puttled Sora to the island. Sora didn't know if he was going to freak out or not, but he used this anyway to reach Kairi and perhaps Riku.
Once he arrived on the island, Sora ran into Riku who was standing there watching the sky.
"The door has opened." said Riku.
"What?"asked Sora.
"The door! Sora, do you remember that door that was in our secret spot years ago. You don't know this, but that door was our escape. It was closed, but now it's open! We can go out into the unknown!" cried Riku with madness in his eyes.
"Don't be stupid! Kairi is here! We need to get her and get back at the shelters!" cried Sora.
Riku was about to say something until he froze in place. A dark portal opened up on his feet, and Riku fell into the abyss.
"Riku!"cried Sora.
But he was gone. Riku was nowhere to be found. Sora began to panic, but remembered that Kairi was there too. He then ran quickly to the secret spot to see her. As he ran, he saw Kairi standing there sadly.
"Kairi!" cried Sora.
Kairi didn't say a word. She looked at Sora with sad eyes and she looked totally different. Her face, her hair... she did not look the same.
"I'm sorry. I should have told you." said Kairi.
"What are you saying...?" asked Sora.
"Our world is dying. I felt it. Sora... you don't know this... but Riku wanted to share the Paopu Fruit with me." said Kairi. Sora was confused. Why was she telling him all this.
"Okay. And then what?" asked Sora. It was not like he wanted to know, but he felt like he had to know. In the islands, when two people shared a Paopu fruit, they remain a part of eachother's lives no matter what. In a way, when two people share the fruit, they do it because they have fallen in love with eachother. And the fact that Riku wanted to share one with her... Sora didn't want to sound jealous. And it was no time for that. The storm was getting stronger.
Kairi continued. "I said no. You want to know why I said no to him? It's because he's only a friend. But there is someone I would have loved to share the fruit with. Only one man I truly care about." said Kairi.
Sora pulled out his hand.
"Come with me Kairi! We need to go now!" cried Sora, pleading with tears in his eyes.
"Sora, I love you." said Kairi as she smiled and large tears fell on her cheeks. Then, from behind her, the old man, Xehanort appeared. And in a flash, he struck her down with his large grey sword. It looked eerliy like a Keyblade, like Sora's. Kairi herself fell and a large glowing sphere was released from her body. Xehanort was about to take it. "At last... I will be free." said Xehanort.
However, the heart then beamed a lazer of light at Xehanort, blinding him temporarily and it quickly went to Sora.
Xehanort looked at the boy and sneered. "You! It can't be! You can't be here boy!" he cried.
Just then, the door behind him opened and Xehanort was sent flying into the air, along with a horrified and heart broken Sora.
In that moment, and instant, Destiny Islands vanished into the darkness, never to be seen again...
Ventus felt the disturbance and with the little power he had, he quickly used his light to shield Sora. He was not alone. Another sphere of light appeared and Ventus smiled.
"Hello there friend. It seems that you and I have our worked cut out for us."
