At the Land of Departure, Master Eraqus tried to attack Master Xehanort with his Keyblade, Master's Defender, only for the elderly master to fire an orb of darkness from his Keyblade, the Gazing Eye, and the other, scaring him.

At the Keyblade Graveyard, Xehanort and Vanitas watch the events unfold below them.

(Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep intro plays)

They all look up at Xehanort, who skirts as his 12 other vessels, one with its hood up, summon near him. Maleficent, Pete, Mortimer, Magicas, and Negaduck stand behind Xehanort with numerous silhouettes behind them.

They all gaze up at Kingdom Hearts.


The scene then changes to reveal two young men playing chess in a room on a window sill.

One boy had black hair in an upper ponytail and pale skin and was playing with the black dark pieces. The other had silver streaked hair with some of it sticking up in the back and had tanner skin and was playing with the white pieces.

"Have you ever heard of the ancient Keyblade War?" asked the silverhead.

"Huh?" the other boy asked. "Of course I have."

The tanned boy moved one blakc piece and took a white one. "Long ago, Keyblade wielders waged a war over ownership of light." he explained.

The paler boy moved a white piece and took a black piece. "Yeah, the Master's favorite story." he nodded.

"I wonder what they planned on doing with Kingdom Hearts after… making it appear." mused the tanned boy as he took other white piece.

"Who knows?" shrugged the black-haired boy. "I don't get why anyone would initiate a war."

The silverhead took another piece. "So… you know the 'Lost Masters'?" he asked.

"Who?" the paler boy asked.

"They're the ones who started the Keyblade War." the other boy explained.

"Never heard of 'em." the paler boy shrugged as he moved a white piece and took another black piece. "Where'd you hear about that?"

"Or...they're the ones for whom the war started." the silverhead said mysteriously as he moved another black chest piece and took a white one.

"I'm not following you." said the black-haired boy as he moved one white piece.

"You can drop the facade." said the paler teen as he moved one piece and took another white one.

The paler boy reached out to grab another when he paused. "'Facade'?" he asked, confused.

"'On that land shall darkness prevail and light expire.'" the tanner boy recounted. "A prospective Keyblade Master should know this." he added as he took another white chest piece.

"If you say so." shrugged the paler boy.

The silverhead looked up where a Keyblade stood hanging on the wall. The Gazing Eye Keyblade.

"The Gazing Eye sees the fate of the World." he noted. "The future - it's already been written."

The paler boy held up a white piece. "Really? I'm not so sure about that." he said skeptically. "Besides, who's to say that I can't change it? And maybe light will prevail." he countered.

The silverhead chuckled as he held up a black piece. "Pretty confident." he said. He then placed his piece down and took another white one. "But things aren't in your favor."

"Perhaps." said the paler boy as he moved one white piece and took a blakc one. "But unlike darkness, there's more to light than meets the eye."

He then looked up, revealing himself to be a young Eraqus.

"You might be surprised." he said with a small smile.

The tanner boy looked up, revealing himself to be a younger Xehanort, only he had silver eyes.

"Oh I hope so." he said with a small smirk.


Many years later:

Disney Castle, 1 week after returning from the Valley of Peace:

Sora woke up and got out of his bed. He looked out of the window in the room he shared with Riku, Kairi, and Lea. The sun was slowly rising to signal a new day.

"Good morning Disney Town." Sora said with a small smile.

Sora soon got changed into his clothes. He wore a black jacket with grey pockets and a stripe of the same color on each sleeve. The hood, sleeves and jacket had a red lining, and six buttons could be seen on the front. Underneath, Sora wore a black tanktop with a V-neck style collar and a white lining. His gloves were replaced with gauntlets with a similar color scheme to his jacket. The gauntlets had red linings and grey circles on the backs, with yellow buckled straps wrapped around Sora's wrists. The palms of his hands were exposed. Sora's shorts were black, and are roughly the same length as they are in his Kingdom Hearts II attire, with several grey pockets. A red band wrapped around each pant leg. His shoes also resembled those of his Kingdom Hearts II outfit, with the blue straps and zipper now removed.


Sora walked downstairs into the dining room. And there sat his team eating breakfast.

Riku wore a black, hooded jacket - unzipped, with short sleeves, gold buttons, and a checkered pattern at the hem. Underneath, he wore white shirt with a V-neck. He wore blue cropped trousers that were hemmed with the same checkered pattern as the jacket, black glovelettes on each hand, and black high-top boots.

Kairi wore a unique hooded pink-and-black dress, with two small black cat ears. There were black ruffles on one side of her skirt and plaid on the other. She wore thick belted black boots. She had on cropped trousers similar to Riku's, but were black with a black hem. She also wore thin white bracelets on her left wrist and a thick wristband on her right wrist.

Mickey wore a black, hooded jacket - unzipped, with short sleeves, silver buttons, and a checkered pattern at the hem. Underneath, he wore a grey shirt with a V-neck. He also wore red cropped trousers that are hemmed with the same checkered pattern as the jacket and yellow and grey shoes.

Donald wore a blue hat (which resembled a beret), which had a belt in place of a normal brim, and sported a zipper that spanned the length of the hat. His high-collared jacket was navy blue with sky blue lining and cuffs. There were three pouches, all of which were blue with yellow lining, along the middle of the jacket; the center pouch was secured by a flap, while the other two used silver zippers. The middle pouch was framed by two other silver zippers that spanned the entire length of the jacket, from the top of the collar to the bottom. He had a short, blue cape with yellow lining that he wore draped over his shoulders, kept in place by a silver strap. Donald also wore a thick, gold bangle on each of his wrists. He also wore a shorter, light blue coat over his jacket, this one with more bell-like sleeves, gold lining and cuffs, a turtleneck-esque collar, and the two silver, vertical zippers present in his jacket.

Goofy wore a yellow hat (save for a blue band in the middle, and the top is an odd shape) resembling a teardrop placed on its side. There was also a small pair of red goggles around the bottom of the hat that strangely, were quite a bit smaller than Goofy's eyes. Goofy wore a green turtleneck sweater with sleeves that belled out slightly and a blue arrow-shaped strap on each cuff. He wore white gloves with a brown band around each wrist. Over the sweater, he wore a sleeveless, black combat vest with grey lining and four pockets of the same color. Goofy's pants were yellow and secured by a thick, black belt. They had rather large pockets and a pouch on each leg with a silver zipper. The legs of his pants had a peculiar style, with the dark orange bottom rims being pulled upward in the front by a brown strap. Goofy also had very large shoes which were brown with steel toes on the outside.

Roxas wore a black, high-collared jacket with a zipper resembling the Nobody symbol. Over this, he wore another jacket, this one unzipped and white, with several black block designs and a grey hem on the end of each sleeve. This jacket's collar was red and pleated and folded back. He also wore two-colored pants; the legs of his pants were beige with several of what looked like buttons on the hem that appeared to attach the legs to the rest of the cloth, which were dark-colored. His shoes were colored in shades of grey and black, and had red straps in place of laces. Finally, he wore a wrist band with a black-and-white checkerboard pattern on his left wrist, as well as a plain black ring on his left index finger and a plain white ring on his left middle finger.

Naminé wore a white dress that ended at her thighs in an embroidered lace pattern and light blue sandals decorated with yellow flowers.

Aqua wore a black and navy blue, high-collared halter top, a black corset with two pairs of white laces and black shorts. She had two pink straps intersecting over her chest, with a silver badge similar to badges also worn by Ven and Terra over the intersection. On Aqua's arms were white bell-sleeves and tan, fingerless gloves. She also wore a small, segmented piece of armor on each of her upper arms. She wore black stockings reaching about halfway up her thighs, leaving a small area of bare skin. There were two strips of blue cloth draped over each of her hips, along with a smaller, white strip of cloth tied around her waist and draped in the same manner. Her silver boots were pointed and armored, with a sharp "hook" on the outer side of each.

Terra wore two intersecting red straps over his chest, almost resembling crisscrossed suspenders. Unlike Aqua and Ven, Terra did not wear his Terra's Mark badge on these straps. Instead, he wore it on his obi. He wore a skintight, grey and black, high-collared shirt. Terra's pants bore a distinct feudal Japanese style; his belt was tied like an obi-sash and he wore hakama. His hakama were dark grey near the top, with several loops for his belt and two buttons, both of which were undone. The rest of the pants were tan with a small, lighter stripe of tan on the bottom hem. Terra wore a plain black wristband on his right arm, while his left arm is significantly more armored. Terra's armor shared the large, ornate crest (colored gold) with Ven and the long, segmented section (each segment alternating between dark grey and dark red) with Aqua, though Terra's was much longer, reaching all the way to the bottom of his hand. He also wore a black, fingerless glove on his hand and what appeared to be a black gauntlet on his forearm, over the segmented armor, which also had small pieces of dark red armor on it. Finally, his armored boots were dark brown and gold.

Ven wore a jacket that resembled a fusion of Roxas' jacket (white on the right side) and Sora's jacket (black on the left side), also reminiscent of the Yin and Yang symbol. The collar of the jacket was red and pleated, similar to the collar on Roxas' own jacket. Underneath this, he wore what appeared to be a grey vest with a single button and several white, angular patterns on it. He wore a third layer under this, in the form of a plain, high-necked, black shirt. He also had a chunk of dull green and grey armor on his midsection that appeared to be under his vest, and another piece of armor on his left shoulder. His pants were also similar to the pants Roxas wore, though his ballooned outward slightly before closing up about halfway down his legs, similar to caprice pants. These pants were colored in shades of grey, black, and white. He also wore an ornate, dull green and grey piece of armor on his upper-left arm, along with a black and white checkered wristband that was, once again, strikingly similar to Roxas's, but with white edges as opposed to Roxas' black-edged wristband. He also had two crisscrossing straps on his chest, on which he wore a silver Keyblade Master emblem. His boots resembled an armored version of normal street shoes in shades of dull green and grey.

Minnie wore a pink jacket with darker red trimming - similar to her usual gown, a dark red belt with a golden crown belt buckle, a red undershirt, pink cufflinks, light pink pants, an large red royal boots with gold trimming. The only same things she wore were her tiara, gloves, and ring.

Daisy wore a purple vest with three gold buttons on each side and darker purple collars - the collars similar to Roxas', a lighter purple belt with a gold buckle, dark purple shoes with purple tops, lavender ankles and tongues folded down, and magenta belts with gold belt buckles on it almost similar to the shoes Sora and Roxas wore.

Max wore a red zip-up sweater with ebalck trimming with one zip-up pockets on each side, a yellow t-shirt underneath, blue jeans with several pockets, and green shoes with blue and light green patterns and white underneath.

Oswald wore an attire that was just like Mickey's KHII outfit, only the red parts were royal blue, the yellow straps, pouches, and shoes were different shades of gray, and the blue straps around the pant legs were dark blue. But the white lining and gray sleeves were the same. He also wore white toon gloves.

Ortensia wore a pink hat with a yellow flower sticking out of it, a short-sleeved pink shirt with violet rhinestone buttons and white lining, white toon gloves with a gold ring on of her left fingers, a pink dress, and pink heels with purple bows on it.

Lea, Xion, Isa, and Myde wore their black cloaks from Organization XIII.

"Morning guys!" Sora greeted.

"Morning Sora!" greeted Mickey.

"Well, look who decided to sleep in." teased Riku.

"Actually, you all are up early." said Sora with a smirk.

"He's right." said Minnie as she glanced at the clock.

"Come and join us for breakfast." said Kairi.

"That was my plan." said Sora as he sat in between her and Riku.

"Everyone well-rested?" asked Mickey.

"I slept well." said Donald.

"Same here! A-hyuck!" chuckled Goofy.

"I've slept good." said Aqua.

"Good." said Sora. "Because today we start recruiting members for our army."

"It does seem like a good day." mused Daisy as she looked outside.

"After being jombies for a jade-slaying spirit warrior, thaty break was well earned." said Lea.

"I couldn't agree more." said Roxas.

"Where's everyone else?" asked Sora.

"They should be coming down soon." said Minnie.

Just then, Huey, Dewey, Louie, Webby, Lena, and Violet came into the room.

Huey wore a red baseball cap and a red-shirt with a fold out collar.

Dewey wore a blue t-shirt and a sky blue long-sleeved shirt underneath.

Louie wore a green long-sleeved hoodie.

Webby wore a long sleeved pink collared-shirt with the sleeves folded up. She wore a violet-blue vest over her shirt, a purple skirt, and a pink bow on the right side of her head.

Lena wore a long sleeved button-up collared sky blue shirt under a long sleeved black and grey striped shirt and light green shoes with white bottoms.

Violet wore a dark mint-green long sleeved shirt with a teal collar and dark purplish black pants.

"Morning kids!" greeted Donald.

"Morning Uncle Donald." the six chorused.

"They're so cute when they're in sync." giggled Aqua.

"You say that everytime." chuckled Terra.

"Thanks Aqua." smiled Webby as they sat down.

"Sooooooooo… you guys going to travel the worlds again?!" Dewey asked excitedly, making the 20 chuckle.

"We sure are." said Goofy.

"How long do you think you'll be gone for?" asked Huey.

"Depends what goes down in whatever world we visit." said Ven.

"So where will members of the army stay?" asked Dewey.

"He's got a point. The entire army can't fit in the castle." said Lena.

"Which is why they're staying in another world." said Mickey.

"It's called the Secret Forest." said Kairi. "That's where many of us trained in the past months to become Keyblade Masters."

"And that's where they'll stay in homes of their own courtesy of Merlin." added Xion.

"Cool!" said Webby.

"But why is it called a Secret Forest?" asked Violet.

"No idea." shrugged Lea.

"Though there's the theory that the secret is that time can be easily manipulated in that world by individuals in certain magic like Yen Sid, Merlin, and those three Good Fairies from the Enchanted Dominion." said Isa.

"Just a theory really." said Naminé.

"So who will be training the army?" asked Louie.

"We will." said Riku.

"But what about when you're off on missions?" asked Dewey.

"Then we'll handle it." came a voice.

They all looked over to see Hayner, Pence, and Olette walk in. it had been Hayner who spoke.

Hayner wore a white shirt with a small black skull near the bottom. His vest was black with red-and-black plaid on the bottom. His pants were jeans and his shoes shared the same red-and-black plaid design. He wore a white necklace with a yellow "X" charm on it and a brown bracelet on his left wrist with several silver pins in it.

Pence wore a blach headband, an orange bandana, a black-and-white shirt labeled "Dog Street" was above a dog, his black jeans, and orange and white shoes.

Olette wore a tank-top that was pure black with stitch-like vertical orange lining. Her shorts had a plaid pattern with a primarily red-and-black background with small vertical orange stripes and small horizontal blue stripes. Her socks and shoelaces were red and her shoes were black and grey. Her bracelet was red-and-black and her necklace was red.

"Morning you three!" greeted Oswald.

"Morning!" said Pence.

"As Hayner said, since we're Keyblade Masters too, we'll be helping train those who have been chosen to wield Keyblades." said Olette.

"It's gonna be so cool!" Pence said excitedly.

"You can say that again." chuckled Hayner.

"But what about those that don't have Keyblades?" asked Huey.

"That'll be a job for the others." said Max.

"What others?" asked Lena, raising an eyebrow.

"Well Dilan, Even, Aeleus, and Ienzo for one." said Daisy.

"Or four." snickered Ortensia, making Daisy giggle.

"Seifer and his crew." added Roxas.

"The Restoration Committee." added Naminé.

"And the Turks." said Xion.

"That sounds cool." said Dewey.

"Where are they anyway?" asked Louie.

"Seifer and his posse went out for breakfast." said Hayner, rolling his eyes as he and his best friends sat next to Xion.

"Ansem's apprentices are still at the castle in Radiant Garden." said Mickey.

"So are the Restoration Committee." added Aqua.

"And the turks are carrying out missions for President Shinra." added Riku.

"And before you ask, Uncle Scrooge got called to another board meeting." said Donald.

"Will those Buzzard brats ever leave him and his money alone?" groaned Louie.

"The day they go too far and Scrooge decides to fire them instead of cheaping out." muttered Lea.

"Professor Von Drake's helping Gyro and Fenton for the day." added Minnie.

"Mrs. Beakley's visiting an old friend from SHUSH." said Donald.

"And Launchpad's visiting his family." added Goofy.

As they all got close to finishing breakfast, Chip and Dale scurried into the room.

Chip wore seal brown gloves, each with a gold, horizontal line near the bottom. Chip also wore an apron of sorts with red shoulder straps secured to black buttons, while the apron itself was yellow with an outline of the same color as his fur. The yellow section sported green stitching lining the edge, and the other section had brown stitching. There was a slanted, blue pocket on the front of the apron with a red Mickey symbol surrounded by a yellow gear.

Dale wore the same thing as his brother, only with a few differences: his gloves were a lighter shade than Chip's, and his apron had the inverse color scheme of Chip's; that is, the yellow section on Dale's apron was buff-colored, and vice-versa, the same being true for the two different stitching colors on the apron.

"Hiya fellas!" greeted Mickey.

"Good morning everyone!" said Chip.

"We just wanted to let you know that the Gummiship's all fired up and ready to go!" said Dale.

"Thanks boys." said Minnie.

"I guess that's our cue to go." said Sora.

"Good luck guys!" said Huey.

"Bring us back anything if you can!" said Dewey.

"Preferably treasure!" said Louie, making everyone snicker.

"We'll try." said Aqua with a smile.

"Have fun!" said Webby.

"We will." said Kairi, patting Webby's head, making the girl duckling giggle.

"And you'll have someone else come along!" said Chip.

"And who would that be?" asked Oswald.

"Why me!" came a voice.

And out into the hall came a familiar face: Jiminy Cricket.

Jiminy wore a royal blue top hat with an orange band near the base, a red vest with a single, pink button on the front, a yellow ascot, a black blazer, and a high-collared white shirt. He also sported tan pants and yellow shoes with black tips. Jiminy was also carrying a red umbrella.

"Jiminy!" Sora, Donald, and Goofy exclaimed together.

"Hiya Jiminy!" said Mickey.

"Greetings everyone." said Jiminy. "It's great to see so many of you again, along with some new faces."

"What brings you here?" asked Naminé.

"I'm here to help catalog everything that happens." said Jiminy, pulling out his journal. "It'll be helpful so you guys can know what you're up against."

"It has helped a lot in the past." nodded Sora.

"If that's true, then where has he been recently?" asked Myde.

"I've been helping Pinocceo." the cricket replied. "Though he said I could come and help my friends again."

"So will you be in our pockets?" asked Roxas.

Jiminy chuckled.

"No. I'll be observing from the Gummiship. That way I don't get caught in any fights." he replied.

"Sometimes it is better to observe from a safe distance than in the actual thing, especially fights." nodded Aqua.

"With that said, let's head off!" said Sora.

After Donald gave his nephews and honorary nieces a hug, the 20 Keyblade Masters rode the elevators up to the Gummiship hangar, Jiminy sitting on Sora's shoulder.


Gummiship:

Soon, everyone sat down in the Gummiship. Sora sat at the controls. Riku sat in the weapons seat. Mickey sat in the co-pilot's seat.

"I gotta say, this Gummiship is bigger than the last one." said Jiminy in awe.

"That's the idea." said Mickey, chuckling.

"So where will our recruits sit when we bring them back?" asked Ven.

"They won't need to sit actually." said Sora. "They can stand if they want."

"Cool." said Ven.

"So where to first?" asked Naminé.

Sora thought for a minute.

"You mean you don't know?" Donald asked in exasperation.

"I haven't really thought much about it." said Sora with a sheepish look.

"Why don't you check the radar?" suggested Mickey.

Sora smiled. "Good idea Mickey."

Sora pressed some buttons and looked at the radar. Then, his eyes sat on a familiar world.

"Alright! I know where we're heading first!" said Sora.

"Then what are we waiting for?" asked Kairi excitedly.

The doors opened and Sora grabbed the controls.

"Agrabah, here we come!" said Sora with a big grin on his face.

The Gummiship sailed away into the sky, ready to head to the city of Agrabah.


The Castle That Never Was:

Master Xehanort watched the events play out on a magic screen above the Altar of Naught. He wore a white and black coat with a red inner lining, which was worn over a white shirt with two thin black belts, as well as white gloves, black pants, and calf-high black boots. His shirt was unbuttoned. His coat had black lining along the edges.

Behind him stood Ansem, Xemnas, Xigbar, and Young Xehanort, all wearing Organization cloaks.

"It seems that their journey has finally begun." mused Ansem.

"Which means that we'll need to start spreading out amongst the worlds." said Xemnas.

"Nothing we can't handle." chuckled Xigbar.

"Indeed." said Young Xehanort. "As the journey Sora and his friends go on progresses, it'll become more harder than they could possibly imagine."

Master Xehanort smirked.

"Do not fret my compatriots." he told them. "In the end, no matter how hard Sora and his friends try, darkness will prevail against the light. And once we forge the χ-blade, then we will bring order to all the worlds the way I see it best."

The five Organization members chuckled evilly.

The adventure had just begun.

To be continued…


And now we've started! I figured we start out small at Disney Castle before we go to our first world.

Next chapter, a party is being held in Agrabah.

See you all soon!
