Written by: Detective_kari

He arrived at the table and saw Donald, Goofy, Daisy, Queen Minnie and King Mickey already eating. They all had fluffy white omelets while him, being sick with eggs he asked the maid for toast. She replied briskly and handed him a buttered toast with some jams. He took a hold of a knife and opened a marmalade bottle and scooped some unto his toast. He took a big bite. The toast dissolved into his stomach soothing the noises that it made.

"So, Sora. I found out that you were in the Library again." King Mickey said to him when he finished his omelet.

"Found anything, Sora?"

"Um.. No, not a single thing about the lost information." He sighed with the toast still on his hand.

"Don't worry, Sora. You will find it soon." Queen Minnie said as she asked a maid to get her toast as well.

"I do hope so. I took me so long now, I mean. I just had my 19th birthday last month meaning I was here for 4 years." He said glumly.

" Really, really want to find Riku and Kairi. And I want to tell them what happened to me and stuff." He took another bite from the marmalade toast.

"Sora, its not that bad here you know." Donald said while swallowing his omelet.

"I know but. I miss my home and I miss my friends." Sora said glumly. He sighed and got up.

"Sora, where are you going?" Daisy asked. "I'm just going for a walk." Sora said and headed out of the dining room into the entrance hall and out of the castle.

The castle was huge and it was white with blue rooftops. There were so many towers that, Sora had already lost count. No heartless had ever go into the kingdom. He was told that the whole world was protected by a magical force field that kept evil out.

Since the first time he had arrived, he had mostly forgotten the techniques that he had learned battling with heartless. To keep forgetting the techniques he had learn, he had found a special place where he trains in the forest near the castle. Sometimes when he gets tired of researching for the information, he would go and swing his Ultima weapon around and target a tree stump and slash it into bits. This made sure he had lots of exercise and kept his size.

As he approached his secret place, he took out his Ultima weapon and swung it around. Arriving at the place, he immediately looked for a tree stump and slashed it until it was in bits.

As the stump fell in bits, he sensed this familiar presence behind him. It felt empty, sad and gloomy. He turned and saw a flying tattered cloak. He recognized it and it was the "Phantom". He defeated the Phantom five years ago at the top of the clock tower in Neverland. It wasn't easy to defeat it but with Sora's will, he did. He was trying to remember how he defeated it.

How was it again?

The Phantom sent a few black wisps luckily Sora dodged it. It retreated back and turned. In that turn, Sora had a glimpse of a crystallized heart. The color of it was fiery red. Yes, I remember now. He backed away from the Phantom and found a spot. He reached his keyblade up and took aim at the heart.

He shouted, "firaga!"

Fire erupted from his Ultima Keyblade and it smashed the heart. The Phantom became dizzy and its heart was turning ice blue. When it became stable, the Phantom glided to Sora and threw a ball of dark smoke. It banged at Sora's leg. He felt fiery pain from his right leg and limped away.

He looked at the heart and saw it was ice blue he took aim and muttered, "blizzarga."

Ice blue crystal shot out of the keyblade and hit the heart. Again, the Phantom felt dizzy and now the heart turned to white. Sora felt the pain on his leg growing stronger and stronger but still he could cope with it.

He saw that the heart's color was white he remembered that you must whack it. He got up while the Phantom was dizzy and charged to the heart. He whacked and gave everything he got. Suddenly the Phantom's cloak started to dissolve and wisps of black smoke covered the cloak. The Phantom finally disappeared leaving a crystallized heart floating.

Sora muttered, "curaga" and instantly the pain from his leg vanished.

He was about to leave and then something came out of the crystallized heart. It was piece of old parchment. He picked it up and looked at it. He read through it and his eyes widened.

"This is great!" he exclaimed under his breath.

He quickly ran for the castle clutching the parchment and keyblade. He was going to tell his friends that he had found what they needed.
