Sora, who was wearing a red dress, that was black and white at the top, with pockets and a heart-shaped buckle with socks with frills and yellow shoes. Her hair was in long pigtails in star shaped hair ties. Sora opened her eyes just having the most strangest dream she ever had. She was on a stained glass window pillar with pictures of princess that had helped her sister in the past and fought these weird shadow beings, including a gigantic shadow being. She got up to stretch yawned and went to lay back down. While she did this Kairi was suddenly in her field of vision. "Sora?"

"Whoa!" Sora said as she jumped to her feet. "Give me a break Kairi."

"Sora you lazy bum."

How could you not hear Ocean Wizard coming, Sky Princess? We are on the beach with few people around. You should have heard her steps coming.

Lay off Vanitas.

I'm just saying. If she doesn't want the dangers of the other worlds after her, Ocean Wizard, and Silver Knight, then she needs to be aware of her surroundings.

Not everything is out to get them and besides Sora was trained by the guard in self defense and in some magic by Cedric. Plus, Riku has been trained by the guard since he could walk and Kairi has been studying magic since she got here. I think they can defend themselves and each other.

That might be true, but don't make me laugh.

"Would the three of you just give me a break?" Sora said in annoyance at her brothers and the girl she sees as a sister.

"They are arguing again, aren't they?" asked Kairi, referring to the two hearts inside of Sora that only she and Riku believed her when she told people. Everyone else thought it was Sora's big imagination.

"Yeah, but not as bad when they first got here they got a lot better," Sora responded.

"So what are they fighting about this time?" asked Kairi.

"Vani said that I should be more aware of my surroundings or something might get me, as if every world is full of dangers and Ven says that not every world has dangers and that we can defend ourselves and each other," said Sora.

Kairi nods, agreeing with both of them. She may not remember her home world and was pretty sure that it was safe, but there could be dangerous out there like the Heartless. But they all know how to defend themselves. "Well, of course a knight and magician need to protect their princess," said Kairi in a joking tone.

Sora stuck her tongue out in response and then they both laughed.

"I would love to see other worlds, though just as soon as we figure out how."

"You sure Riku's idea won't work, even with my protection spell?" asked Kairi.

"Let's just say that when I told them our plan that Vanitas laughed for hours and Ventus just gave me an apologetic smile," Sora responded.

And you know if Wind here thinks your idea is dumb you know it stinks.

Ven just rolled his eyes at his other half.

After talking for a few minutes, Riku joined his friends. The three of them played on the island till sunset. The three of them ended the day just like how they end the day every time they come to play at the island sitting, or in Riku's case lying on their usual tree.

"We need to find a way to get to other worlds soon. It is going to be so amazing. Going on adventures and exploring different worlds, said Sora.

"Do Ventus and Vanitas have any idea how?" asked Riku. Sora shrugged.

"They both have their own ways of going into the lanes between but Vanitas's way is too dangers for us and Ven's way won't work because we need special armor made out of materials that are not found in Enchancia or the other kingdoms."

"You sure it can't be found?" asked Kairi, just hoping that Sora might just have missed something.

"I'm sure. I asked around. None of the blacksmiths can make it because of it being made out of made up material," said Sora with annoyance in her voice.

Riku nodded. No use going to other worlds if they service the trip there, but this didn't mean they would give up. It just meant that they would just have to find another way.

A few minutes later the flying carriage came to take them home.


The next day, Sora was exploring the secret spot on the island looking at the pictures of her Kairi and Riku on the wall that they had drawn as kids it had taken a lot of begging and puppy dog eyes to get Riku to draw with them that day. They didn't look exactly like them as they were 4 and 5 when they drew them but that didn't matter to them.

Your just adorable, sweet honestly.

(Ven laughed at that)

The two of them were always joking and teasing her. The two hearts inside of her have grown to love and care for her and each other to an extent over the years and she could not see her life without them. They were like her siblings and she knew they felt the same way. Sora also knew she would be crushed if she ever lost them. Hopefully however, when the two do get their own bodies back, which would be inevitable, the two would still visit from time to time, which Sora would still do for them.

Your so silly you can't get rid of us that easily. Vanitas said with a warm smile on his face.

We'll never be far away, Sora. Said Ventus with a kind smile.

Sora was shocked out of there conversation when someone in a strange cloak approached Sora.

"Who's there?" She asked as she looked around. She saw something in the shadows, it was something that stood hunched over with a brown cloak on.

Why is that person wearing a potato sack? Asked Vanitas confused.

"This world has been connected. Tied to the darkness...soon to be completely eclipsed...," the mysterious figure said.

Sky, get away from this nut job now.

A chill crept up Sora's spine at this. "Well, whoever you are, you're freaking me out! … Where did you come from, anyway?!"

The figure refused to answer the question, but instead slowly said, "There is much to learn. You know so little."

Hey Ventus does he seem...

Familiar? Yeah, and not in a good way.

"Wait, you're from another world, aren't you?"

"You do not yet know what lies beyond the door. One who knows nothing can understand nothing."

"Well I just learn what's out there, no one is born with knowledge," Sora said angrily.

After this, the figure suddenly vanished before Sora could say anything else.

Sora was so confused after the stranger left and Ven, Vani were worried but tries not to show it.

When Sora left the cave she found Kairi making good luck charms out of shells for the three of them so that the three of them will always be together when they left for other worlds.

Later that night, Sora was in her room. The room was very spacious with a mural on the walls of things she had seen in her dreams. It started with stained glass pictures of a unicorn, a bear, a snake, a fox, and a leopard in a circle with a heart with wings in the center. It then changed to a town with a big clock tower castle in the center of it, with a bunch of people with giant keys and little cat bear like things with little bags running around the town. The next part of the mural was an absolute desert wasteland, where four animal masked and robed people, along with many other key wielders were fighting each other. The next part of the mural was a land of many islands carrying a version of the clock tower castle town on each island, all connected by cable cars and with two boys playing chess in the window. Following that, was the current final mural, with a single large castle on a hill near a cliff side, where there were three people sitting on it. On her bed were plush dolls that her mother and sister helped her make, they were of people from her mural like the people in cloaks and the unicorn, bears, snakes, foxes and leopard masks, two people in black clocks, a boy with silver hair and a red scarf, a girl wearing black with straight black hair, a girl with orange hair in long pigtails wearing white, a boy with pink hair, a girl with blond short pigtails wearing blue, and a boy with black hair wearing a hat. She had more plushies that were still in progress that she had in her magic bag, which had been enchanted to hold infinity other things she had in her bag were her sketchbook, art supplies, munny, food, water, clothes, a photo album, her diary, sewing kit, first aid kit and potions among other things they might need on their adventures buttercups are always prepared. Riku and Kairi had similar bags. She was on her laying on her bed hugging a big plush of a cat-bear being holding a purse and wearing a cape it was her favorite.

Suddenly, a storm began to start outside, and a very serious one at that. At first, Sora was considering just staying inside the castle. However, something in her heart was telling her that Riku and Kairi were on the island and in danger.

Darkness

Sora, we have to go help your friends.

"Right," Sora grabbed her bag and went through the secret passage from her room to the stables, noting that the pegasi that Riku and Kairi usually use are gone. She grabbed her Pegasus Starla and rode to the island. While she was taking off she could hear people shouting for her, Kairi, and Riku. On the way there, she noticed the other pegasi but Riku and Kairi weren't on them. They flew too fast to ask them where they were so she just kept flying.

"You sure this a good idea?" asked Starla.

"No, but I have to help my friends," Sora responded.

When she got there she told Starla to go home and get help just in case. Starla didn't want to go but listened after seeing the look on her face and flew off.

There were these strange bug like creatures with yellow glowing eyes everywhere.

Just ignore these Heartless and find your friends, Sky.

Yeah, Sora. You don't have any weapons or spells that can destroy them. Let's get going and find the other.

"OK." Sora ran from the Heartless. Like they said, the weapons she had on her did not work and the spells did little to nothing to them. This worried her for the safety of her family, Enchancia , the other kingdoms and many more places in her world. She just kept running, dodging Heartless till she found Riku at the place they all always watched the sunset.

"Riku!" Sora shouted at her personal knight and big brother like figure, who was facing the ocean and the darkness as his hair whipped in the blowing wind he had his bag on his back. "Where's Kairi? I thought she was with you!"

Riku slowly turned to Sora, "The door has opened…"

"Riku?"

OK, Silver's talking cryptic, Sky. Better knock him out.

Vanitas, I don't usually agree with you but Sora this is not a good sign.

There was something wrong with Riku. He was talking weird and was talking about a door. Did he refer to the door in the cave or some other door?

"The door is open, Sora! Now we can go to the outside world!" Riku said with a rush of excitement in his eyes. I'm sure they understand.

Ven and Vani were silent over what Riku just said

This is still two dangers you and your friends could end up stranded in a world you know nothing about fill with who knows what. What would you do then.

"What are you talking about, Riku? Did you eat the island's mushrooms or something? We've got to find Kairi!"

"Kairi's coming with us!" Riku shouted as loud as his voice would allow him. "Once we step through, we might not be able to come back. But this might be our only chance. We can't let fear stop us!"

That is our point, stupid.

Sora you need to stop this please.

"But what about your friends Terra and Aqua? This could be our only chance to look for them," Sora thought to the two hearts.

Don't you dare.

Sora, I don't want you getting put into any kind of danger because of me. The darkness is dangerous and no means of transportation or of getting home. Even if me and Vanitas can keep your heart safe, that doesn't mean we can keep your friends heart's safe. Besides, Terra and Aqua wouldn't want us to endanger ourselves to save them.

"I'm not afraid of the darkness!" Riku shouted.

"Riku, I am your princess and as such I order you to stand down and help me find Kairi so we kind find some place safe until help arrives," said Sora with a stern voice. She hates to pull rank on the friends.

As she said this, darkness surrounded Riku. He stretched out his hand so Sora could take it. Sora went to grab Riku's hand to try and pull him away from the darkness, but more heartless were on there way. She heard Riku call her name in worry, the darkness was swallowing up Riku fast. She kept trying to reach but could not make it. Then, as the darkness almost swallowed the both of them up, a light exploded around her. When she opened her eyes a keyblade was in her hand. For some reason, the name the Kingdom Key popped into her head.

How in the worlds did you get a keyblade? We don't know how to bequeath them. Hey stop copying me.

"Can we not do this right now?" said Sora, a little annoyed.

Fine.

OK.

Sora ran towards the strange door near the waterfall fighting heartless along the way. Something in her heart was telling her Kairi was there. When Sora got there Kairi was standing in the secret spot staring at the strange door, her bag on her back and her wand in her hand but something was off.

Kairi slowly and sadly turned toward her, "Sora…?"

"Is everyone eating the mushrooms today?" Sora muttered to herself.

The moment that she reached out for Sora, the door opened up with a wave of darkness pushing Kairi toward Sora like the blast from an explosion. Sora tried to catch Kairi in her arms, only for her to phase right through her. Afterwards, Sora got pushed back by the darkness, flying out of the cave and onto an island high above the Destiny Islands. When Sora got up she looked to see a giant heartless and her world being destroyed around her.

Who ever caused this is going to pay. I'm going to tear them apart piece by piece.

Save some for me.

"At least you two are agreeing more than ever," said Sora jokingly.

As Sora was fighting the giant heartless she could hear people shouting her name. Before she can realize what was happening, the winds started to drag her towards the giant ball of darkness in the sky. Then everything went dark. The last thing she heard was a group of people shouting SORA.
