Me: Aw common people!! I need more reviews!! Tell people about the story!!!! Anyway, this chapter is short because I want to keep you hanging on a cliff hanger. He he he. So anyway, you all know Sora is dead and his friends have no idea about it. They'll be in for a surprise at the end. And its something you might or might not expect. This story has a lot of confusing stuff in it but in the end it all comes to one thing. And there will be a sequel to this story. I promise you. I know it has some stuff to do with memories in it. But know this: " Memories can hurt people but can also save them. My Grandpa died a year ago and family get togethers have never been the same. Stuff changes and look back on the good times when you were little and you get that desperate pain in your heart if you could just relive them again. And I bet that deep down in Soras heart, he also wanted to. Some memories that is.

Well, on with the story. I just had to get that out. Oh, and Thanksgiving is tomorrow!! Yeah!!!

***************************************************

As soon as Leon came home, everyone loaded up on the gummiship and packed, items, abilities, first aid, and weapons.

Kairi looked around at everyone with there staffs, shields, and swords.

' Wish I had one…' She thought dully.

Suddenly Yuffie thrust a long, silver sword, with a purple crystal handle and a ruby heart in the middle in her face.

" Here. Early Christmas gift. I was planning on wrapping it."

Kairi looked at her and smiled. " Cool!! Thanks!!"

Away from all of this, Donald was looking over his Magus Staff. " Hmmm.. I think I'll take my war hammer on this one."

He threw his staff in the gummiship and drew out the war hammer. " Now to test it."

Donald looked at Riku who was standing with his back to him a little ways away. He smiled evilly.

Donald raised his staff and pointed it at Riku. "Blizzarga!!"

The attack came at him full force but with quick speed Riku pulled out his sword( Me: The one he had in Hallow Bastion.) and blocked it.

Donalds eyes widened.

Riku smiled at him in triumph and walked into the ship

" Who's driving?" Asked Yuffie.

" I am!!" Shouted Donald.

He turned to the drivers seat but Riku was already in it.

" Hey!! I'm driving!!!"

Riku shook his head. " Nope."

Donalds eyes flared.

" Move it or lose it!!!!"

Riku raised an eyebrow at him. " I'm driving duck."

He grabbed the wheel and switched on the accelerator.

The Gummiship gave a huge jolt sending Donald flying into the back of the ship.

Riku smiled weakly. " This shouldn't be to hard."

As they flew through space, it turned out Riku wasn't bad. He was horrible. Flying with Sora at the wheel seemed like a smooth drive around compared to Riku.

Kairi banged her head against the wall as they hit obstacle after obstacle. " oh god, Sora please be all right!!"

When they reached Hallow Bastion, Riku landed the ship with aloud thump near the falls and they hopped out.

" Wow!! That was fun!!" Said Riku happily.

Donald and the others mumbled under there breath.

They looked up at the rocks and falls above them that lead up to Hallow bastion that they new they had to climb.

" I am not climbing that!' Said Yuffie irritably.

The others nodded in agreement. Donald and Goofy looked at each other and equipped super glide.

" Don't worry guys we know an easy way to get up there."

Yuffie rolled her eyes. " What are we gonna do, fly!!?" She laughed.

Donald and Goofy smiled.

Leon caught them and did the same.

Yuffie looked at the rock in front of her. " Well… no use complaining. Lets get started."

She jumped up…… only her feet never reached the ground.

" Huh?'

She looked down and seen she was hovering in the air.

She screamed. " What is this!!? Get me down!!! Help!!!"

Donald and Goofy laughed and jumped up in the air and zoomed past her. The others did the same.

" hey!!!! Don't leave me here!!!" She cried.

Leon looked at her and frowned. " Yuffie….."

" Leon help me!!"

" Just pretend your swimming for god sake!!"

Yuffie looked at him and nodded. She put her hands above her head and pushed down like in water.

Next thing she new she was shooting threw the air like a bullet and smashed right into Kairi.

" hey!!"

Yuffie rubbed her head. " Sorry^^*"

They looked at Hallow Bastion in front of them and zoomed toward the castle entrance.

***************************************************

Great Crest

The boy was looking down at Riku and the others as they zoomed toward the Entrance.

Maleficent stepped out behind him. She was carrying anew staff.

" Everything is set. Now what?"

The boy smiled.

" Just leave the rest to me."

***************************************************

Everyone flew to the entrance and stepped in front of the big purple doors.

They were silent. All the happiness had drained out of Kairi and the others. Tears welled up in her eyes. She had so many memories of this place…. Sora had saved her here. Now it was her turn to save him.

" um.. Guys." She asked quietly. " For some reason, I kind of noticed that you guys don't seem to upset about Sora being kidnapped and all….. Why is that?"

They all looked at her.

" Kairi.." Said Riku. " We're upset yeah, but we don't think Sora would want us worrying about him. Besides, he's well known for taking care of himself. But we're still coming to get him back. He wouldn't die on us even if they forced him too."

( Me: CoughCough)

Kairi nodded. Yeah, Sora wouldn't let them down.

( me: hackhackcoughcough. Riku: Shut up!!!)

Everyone drew out there weapons and headed in.

' I'll save you sora!!!!'

They ran into the great hall which still had its usual gloomy look and the doors shut behind them.

Yuffie jumped.

" Everyone be on your guard!!' Said Riku.

Suddenly someone laughed.

" it wont help you.'

They looked up and seen maleficent leaning on the stair rail.

" I knew you'd be coming."

" Where's Sora you bitch!!!" Riku shouted at the top of his lungs.

Maleficent smile flickered. She was getting tired of being called that.

" Why should I tell you?" She said tauntingly.

" Cause we'll kick you fuckin ass if you don't!!"

Maleficent just smiled and looked at her staff. " Like my new staff?"

Riku's anger rose higher.

" We don't care about your friken staf-" but he stopped

He gazed at maleficent new staff. It was made out of solid gold and was decorated with small spikes at the bottom. At the top was a big glass sphere and inside was someone's heart.

Everyone's eyes widened in fear.

" Is that-"

Maleficent smile widened. " yes it is."

Riku looked at everyone and then back at maleficent. Hatred rose in him like none before. White hot tears welled up in his eyes.

" Why you-"

He raised his sword and ran full speed at maleficent. " You gonna pay!!!!!!"

He jumped up.

Maleficent continued to smile.

This annoyed Riku. Why is she smiling?

He raised his sword higher and brought it down full speed toward her head.

But the blow never came.

Instead something shot in front of him and sliced him in the side.

Riku cried out in pain and fell to the floor bleeding freely.

" Riku!!!"

He looked up. And standing in front of maleficent was a 16-year old boy with brown spiky hair and a keyblade.

" SORA!!!!!????"
