Welcome everyone to my latest addition to the fanfic world of Kingdom Hearts. This one won't have a lot of Romance and mush like my last one did, but it will have more subtle mentions of it. This story will remain faithful to the original ending of Kingdom Hearts (Which pissed me off more than life itself!!!) and will probably ignore the hidden ending found after certain quests were accomplished (There's barely even enough there to understand what the plot is for the next game, what do you expect me to go with?) Anyways, in this story, Sora and the others will be off to new worlds that may or may not seem familiar to the people reading it. I hope you enjoy the story, I do not own the characters in here, now onto the fic:
Sora stared on at the stars from on board the deck of the Gummi ship. They had caught up with Pluto shortly afterwards, and found that the note was another message to find the King in another world. 'Another world' Sora thought, another place far from home, far from Kairi. He could still see the look in her eyes as he moved further away from her and he could still feel his heart begin to break as he did.
"Kairi, I promise I'll make it back to you, no matter what" Sora vowed silently as he looked down at Kairi's good luck charm, which became his OathKeeper Keychain. Sora turned around from his reverie to come face to face with Goofy. "Ahh!" Sora said startled with coming face to face with his lanky, dog like friend. Sora noticed from his position on the floor, that Goofy was backed up against a wall from his surprise as well.
"Don't scare me like that!" Sora said as he picked himself up. "Sorry, I just saw you standing over there like that, all alone and decided to see if you'd like somebody to talk to?" seeing that Goofy had some good intentions for being here, Sora lightened up, and collected himself. "It's alright, I was just thinking" Sora said as he leaned up against the glass again, ready to lose himself in his thoughts.
"Were ya' thinkin' about that girl?" Goofy asked the boy standing up against the glass in front of him. Sora flinched for a minute, but stopped from saying anything, since he was sure that his tall friend had him well figured out.
"So, I'm that easy to figure out" Sora said calmly. "It's nothing to be sad about, that was a very hard thing for you to do back there, leaving her in order to help us out" Goofy said as he placed his hand on Sora's shoulder. "I just can't help but miss her, I went so long looking for her, only to just have to lose her again" Sora said solemnly.
"Don't worry, once we find King Mickey again, we'll have you back at your islands in no time, in fact, you could bring her back with you to the Magic Kingdom for the celebration!" Goofy said, hoping to raise Sora's spirits from the apparent gloom they now took on.
Sora looked over at his friend and smiled, he was going out of his way to make him feel better despite all the trouble he had put he and Donald through, Goofy was still willing to try and make him smile, he truly was a true friend to Sora.
"Thanks Goofy, you have no idea, how good it is to hear you say something like that" Sora said, feeling a little better of since his mood was now a little bit lighter. "Anytime Sora, after all, all for one and one for all!" Goofy said as he put his hand out, while Sora put his on top of Goofy's, and proceeded to throw it up in the air enthusiastically while he and Goofy shouted their now signature partnership yell. "That felt good" Sora said as he composed himself. "Where's Donald at, it didn't feel the same doing that without him" Sora asked goofy. "He was looking at the map last time I checked, and he found something pretty odd that he wants you to take a look at" Goofy said as he headed down to the main bridge by way of the ladder behind him.
Sora followed close behind Goofy, to find himself on the bridge, with Donald looking over something on the Navigational chart while in the background, Chip and Dale scampering about, making adjustments to the Gummi Ship.
"What'd ya find Donald?" Sora asked as he walked up to the Court Wizard who was looking over their current location with some interest. "Look there" Donald said as he tapped the glass with his feathered finger. Looking down, Sora saw the world known as "HalloweenTown". "Why are we here, we sealed the Keyhole, what else is there to do?" Sora queried. "Not there, over to the side!" Donald said sternly directing Sora's attention to another part of the screen. Looking over, sora saw what looked like another route leading off into the opposite direction, but to where, was not known to our heroes.
"I see what you mean, it looks like an entirely different route altogether but where?" Sora asked to no one in particular.
"We don't know, and it can't be reached from anywhere else but from HalloweenTown" Donald said. "Are you sure, we can't just take a different route?" Sora asked. "No, we can't because wherever this route leads, is just an extension of the world we're in" Donald said
"Huh?" Sora said confused at Donald's statement. "Think of the universe we've been in as a giant tree, and the branches of that tree lead to different places at the end of them. But it doesn't stop there, just as most Trees have many branches, those Branches have many extensions on them, much like the universe that we've been in" Donald stated, hoping that Sora now understood what he was trying to tell him.
"So this path may lead to another world?" Sora asked excitedly. "Yes, and it may even lead to King Mickey" Donald said. "Well what're we waiting for, let's go!!" Sora said with much enthusiasm. With that being said, Sora and the others took off for the unknown world.
After many dodges and close calls, The Trio finally managed to arrive at their destination, a strange world that, on the top of it had a small town with some woods, and a cemetery leading off to the side, while a large covered bridge rested on the bottom.
"What world is this?" Sora queried, hoping that one of his friends could give him an answer. "Don't know? It's not on the maps anywhere," Donald stated. "Well, there's only one way to know where King Mickey is, so let's go guys!" Goofy said. And go they did, onward to the mysterious new world that laid many a question in front of them.
Disembarking shortly afterwards, Sora found himself clad in a pair of loose fitting, yet still quite tight black pants, a pair of long white socks, and some buckled shoes and a loose fitting white button down shirt. He looked like something from out of one of his history books back at school.
Sora took a few steps when someone suddenly seized him from behind. He looked back to find it was a tall lanky man with a nose like a goose's bill, and big shovel like feet.
"Shouldn't you be in school young man?" the lanky man asked Sora, while he maintained his hold on the back of Sora's shirt. "Let go of me, who are you?" sora said struggling to get out of his tormentor's grip. "I won't have one of my pupils being a truant while I'm around". The stern and tall administer of education said as he dragged Sora through Town amongst the stares of the many townsfolk watching the poor boy's fate.
"LET ME GO!!" Sora said, as he ripped free of the tall man's grasp. "Just who are you, anyway?" Sora asked as he smoothed out his new clothes, while the tall gentleman composed himself. "You must be new in town, otherwise you'd know the name of your own School teacher young man. My name is Ichabod, Ichabod Crane," he said with a bow.
Well, have I gotten your attention? If so, keep checking back for some more updates.
