Chapter 2: Dark Fall
As he panickingly rowed towards the play island, thoughts about how to save the raft, or even if it was worth salvaging ran through his head. Approaching the island, he saw Riku and Kairi's boat.
"Riku and Kairi are still here?"
But as he stepped onto the island, he saw the black inky creatures from his dream pop up from the ground. Using his toy sword, he defended himself from the onslaught while looking for a way out. He had been trained to be ready for situations like this, as his dad was in the Destiny Islands Defense Council, the shadowy organization that aimed to fight forces such as these. The eclipse had come early as the moon had been covered in shadow. He spotted Riku on the arena where they usually fought and ran towards him.
"Where's Kairi? I thought she was with you!" Sora spoke.
"The door has opened..."
"Don't you go all Mr. Brown Coat on me, Riku. What door? To where? TELL ME!"
"The door has opened, Sora! Now we can go to the outside world!"
"I'll say this once again Riku, Where. Is. Kairi?"
"Kairi's coming with us!"
A pool of blackness began to envelop Riku. Sora tries to no avail to reach him. Riku then spoke.
"Once we step through, 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, don't!"
But it was too late. Riku had already been consumed. But as that happened, Sora began to hear a voice.
"Keyblade… Keyblade..."
He now found a massive key in his grip. He knew from overhearing his father's meetings in the council that this was a keyblade, a mystical weapon that could be used to defend his homeland. So, he charged into battle, putting his swordsmanship to good use. He used his keyblade to strike down all of the heartless around him in a mad dash to the secret place.
There he saw a pale Kairi standing in the secret place, looking foggy.
"Kairi!"
"Sora..."
And then, a wind gushed out behind her, and she faded into him.
"Whoa!" he said.
He then heard a large rumbling in the distance, and as he exited the secret place, he found a version of the large monster from his dreams.
"I remember how to beat you," Sora said to himself.
So, he rushed toward the monster to deliver large blows to its feet. That took a significant amount of the monster's health away, but the monster decided to plunge its fist into the ground in desperation. This act opened dark portals that the inky monsters from before crawled out of, like shadows. But Sora was focused on defeating the big monster. So he lunged at the arm in the ground and hit hard. After repeating this multiple times, he had finally ended it. But a giant portal in the sky opened up and began to lift Sora, the giant, and the ground into it.
"Ahhhhhh"
And like taffy, Sora was transported to another world.
