Title: Connecting to Oblivion
Author: Third Rabbit
Setting: Lately, Sora has been having dreams of being tortured by a mysterious force. When he slowly starts to disappear, Kairi and Riku began to worry. In order to save Sora, the two must venture in to a world with no beginnings and no ends.
A/n: I don't own Kingdom Hearts or any of it's characters. Square Enix does. Sora is fifteen in this and this has no connections towards KH2.
Chapter Five...wow, this is incredible. I didn't expect so many reviews. Anyway, here's the chapter and thanks for the reviews.

Riku charged, pulling out his sword, and connected it on to Obsidian's daggers. The impact made a suddenly shockwave, sending wind towards Kairi. Covering her face, Kairi gasped as the darkness began to slowly simmer down. Obsidian quickly shot an electrical ball of lightning towards Riku, who somehow flipped out of the way, dodging it. Riku stopped and looked around. Slowly, the Secret Place was coming back. Looking at Obsidian's face, Riku shook his head, confused.
"What's going on? Why is the darkness suddenly leaving?"
"It's been done." Obsidian said, grinning. "He's fallen to the darkness and now, he's absorbing it."
"Who? Sora? You lie!" Riku shouted, frantically.
"Even you know that there's darkness within every heart, boy. Sora has fallen and now, the darkness controls his destiny. Sora shall take my place soon." Obsidian claimed.
"Liar! Sora would never surrend to the darkness!" Kairi yelled, frowning. "You're just trying to make Riku lose confidence of him."
"Don't you feel it? The emptiness around you? The darkness that surrounded this point was the darkness of Sora's heart. Don't you see? You've been decieving yourself, Princess. Sora no longer exists. He's become darkness itself."
"I won't believe you!" Kairi frowned. "I won't!"
Obsidian shrugged. "Believe what you want to believe. I'll prove it to you both."
The double edge daggers quickly dissapeared as Obsidian walked up to the door that lead to the heart of Destiny Islands. Opening the door, a bright light could be seen. Riku walked forward as did Kairi as Obsidian turned to face them. His white eyes showed confidence.
"This door leads to the heart of this world. This door can also lead you to where he is. But, let me warn you both of the consequences of stepping through this door. If you step through it, you'll never be able to come back this way. You'll be stuck in whatever world Sora is in forever. And remember, Gummi ships can take you back here. The walls are still strong. This is simply a connection between you and him."
"I'm going. I know you lie about Sora. Sora would never give in to the darkness." Kairi began to walk in to the door.
"Kairi, I..." Riku hesistated, but quickly followed behind Kairi.
The light quickly vanished as the two began to fall. Several glimmers of light and darkness surround them as the fall continued till they saw street light. Landing on the ground, Riku looked at their surroundings. From the ground to the light post, it was no doubt where they were.
"I guess we're here." Kairi said, sighing. "Wherever here is."
"Traverse Town." Riku said, nodding. "But, where's Sora?"
"I guess we have to find him." Kairi suggested.

Obsidian looked out the window of an apartment building and sighed. The darkness outside simply made his smirk widen as he watched Riku and Kairi head up some steps and in to the accessory shop. The sound of the door closing made Obsidian grin.
"This place is where the action shall begin. The return of a greater darkness and the beginning of a new world. The other side shall be brought forth soon. Very soon." Obsidian said.
"The other side. Why not summon it now, Master?"
Obsidian looked behind himself and smirked at the sight of his apprentice. The boy was fifteen of age with spiky brunette hair and ocean blue eyes. Wearing a black skull jacket, a black shirt, a black necklace with a black King crest on it and leather pants. Obsidian nodded to the boy, smiling.
"Aros, will you ever learn that it takes time to summon up that much darkness? It's ridiculous the way you want to destroy everything right then and there. But, then I wouldn't have chosen you as my apprentice if you didn't have that essence in you." Obsidian said.
"I can't help it, though. I want to destroy this place to see the door. To see Kingdom Hearts." Aros smirked. "Don't I get to do anything? I know I don't remember that much from the pass few hours, but please, Obsidian, let me do something!"
"You will. I want you to go capture two kids. A boy with long, silver hair and a girl with mid length crimson hair. They are necessary for this operation." Obsidian said.
"That's cool. Do you want them dead or alive?" Aros asked, with malice in his eyes.
"Alive, but if you must, ruff them up a bit. Got it? Don't kill them, Aros. I mean it." Obsidian leaned against the wall of the apartment.
"Fine. I won't kill them. Geesh!" Aros frowned.
~*~*~
To Aros, Traverse Town was another world to eliminate, another world to conquer for the darkness. Walking down the bricked streets, Aros could see the fear in many of Traverse Town's citizen's eyes. The thought of them made him cringed with annoyance and he quickened his pace. Aros never remembered how he exactly got to Traverse Town, but he knew that he was destined to be by Obsidian's side. The tall, dark man claimed that the two had met before, not long ago, but also not to close. The way Obsidian talked in riddles often annoyed him, but Aros knew the consequences of ticking the man off. He'd experienced the terrible pain before and it wasn't really comforting. Turning the corner of Accessory Shop, Aros frowned when he met the gaze of a certain woman. This woman was the owner of a local bar, not to far away from the apartment that Aros shared with Obsidian. Her long, dark brown hair sparkled like diamonds as she leaned against the wall of the shop.
"So, you haven't learned your lesson, have you?" Aros asked, slightly frowning. "You annoy me."
"It's you who haven't learned. Kid, you really need to loosen up on the bad boy act." She replied.
"Watch your mouth, Tifa. I don't really have time to deal with you and your little games. I told you before that I don't care what you think about me working with Obsidian. It's my choice, not yours. Besides, I've got some people to go meet." Aros glared.
"I pity you." Tifa walked over to Aros. "Look at what you're becoming! That guy is going to turn you to a heartless if you don't be careful."
"Why don't you go back to Hallow Bastion where you friends are? You really aren't wanted here."
Tifa crossed her arms and frowned as the boy walked away, heading to the Second district. Sighing, she turned around to see a tall man behind her. He wore his normal clothes with shades. Lips stuck out, Tifa nodded to the man in exasperation.
"He still wouldn't listen to me. He's even worse than Cloud." Tifa complained. "What now?"
"We go meet the boy and the girl that Lulu was talking about. They should be in the Third District with her. We need to hurry." The man replied, walking off.
"Auron, what's that going to solve? Aros is still going to turn to Obsidian." Tifa hurried to Auron.
"That's not our problem right now. We need to see those two kids. They're the ones that can turn Aros around. They understand him." Auron continued walking.
"Do you serious believe that?" Tifa questioned. "How is that possible?"
"Obsidian can't fool me. I know who Aros is and we don't have much time left. Something's coming and the Keyblade master is needed. Something bigger than Ansem himself and more powerful than the heartless. And guess who is the power surge?" Auron eyed Tifa.
"Aros."
"Precisely."
"But, why him?"
"A past will be learned of, then you'll understand everything."
