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.

Aros silently walked in to Obsidian's apartment, slightly frowning over what had just happened. He let Riku and the purple haired girl escape when he knew he could easily take them down. Turning his gaze towards the dark door, he gripped it and turned the doorknob. The door slowly open to reveal an exhausted looking Obsidian, holding his chest. Aros rushed in and knelt down to his master.
"Master Obsidian," He began, "what's wrong with you? Are you loosing control of the darkness in your heart?"
Obsidian smirked devilishly. "That's funny. My heart..."
Aros frowned. "Are you crazy? Stop joking like that. You could fall to oblivion if you continue this. Leave them to me."
"Really? Like I should." Obsidian stood up. "It's really strange, isn't Aros? Isn't it strange for you to lose to a weak keyblade wielder and then lose the only thing that can help me go to the other side?"
Aros looked down. "I-I'm sorry. I could've taken them down, but I hesitated and-"
"You hesitated? Did you just say you hesitated?" Obsidian shot a grim glare at the boy.
Aros nodded. "I felt-I could've got them, but I-"
Obsidian slapped Aros to the ground then looked down on him with hateful eyes. Aros rubbed his cheek and looked up at his master. Never had he seen Obsidian show a malicious face. Moaning slightly, Obsidian walked back up to his couch and sat down on it. His hand pressed against his chest, tightly. His white eyes gleamed as he stared down at Aros, who still sat there, shocked and scared.
"Aros, forget about Riku." He said hoarsely.
"Y-yes sir..." Aros replied in a whisper.
"I can't wait much longer.. It would seem that Sora still has some fight left in him. His heart is fighting me and the darkness once again. I have not much time left so I've made a decision. It shall be you who I will merge with. You knew that you would be the power surge for me, did you not?"
Obsidian looked up to see Aros' pale face. The boy was still holding his cheek and looking up in to Obsidian's pure white eyes. Getting up, Obsidian walked to the boy and patted him on the head. Aros stood up, an emotionless look placed upon his face.
"I will do whatever you tell me, Master... Even sacrifice my own being..." Aros stated quietly.
"Good boy. Let us go off to the End of the World. Where the final chapter in the thirteen systems begins and ends..."

Kairi stared at Lillith as the group continued to walk toward the Traverse Town Hotel. Riku wasn't saying much, but it was easy to tell that something was on his mind, Lillith kept to herself like she always does, and Donald was yelling at Goofy about tripping over his own shoelaces. The two still seemed to maintain their funniness to Kairi. When they got inside the hotel, they were surprised by the appearance of a female duck. Donald's sweetheart, Daisy, greeted them with a bow.
"It's so nice to meet you all. The King await your appearance in the red room."
Greeting Daisy, Riku, Kairi, and Lillith walked toward the Red room, while Goofy and Donald stayed behind. Opening the door, they smiled when they saw a black male mouse sitting on top of a red bed. He greeted them all with his familiar gesture. Kairi bowed once.
"Hi, it's nice to meet you, King Mickey." She said, smiling.
"Just call me Mickey, Kairi. And it's my pleasure meetin' you." He smiled cheerfully.
Riku smirked. "It's nice to see you again."
"It's nice seeing you again too, Riku! We've been through a lot last year and now it seems that we'll be going through some more chaos with Obsidian here." Mickey frowned.
"Yeah, including losing Sora if we can't get his heart, body, and soul back together." Lillith said.
"His body, too? I thought Aros was both his soul and his body?" Mickey glanced at Lillith.
Lillith nodded. "No, only his soul. Obsidian's has his heart. But I have no idea where the body is...."
"I bet'cha it's at the End of the World. A bunch of stuff from other worlds lie inside that place. If there's anywhere Sora's body would go to, it would go there." Mickey said confidently.
"Can someone explain to me about the whole Keyblade wielder?" Riku asked. "Lillith said that there can be keyblade heroes, so we can hold the keyblade as well?"
"Yes," Mickey answered.
"Why do you have Sora's Ultima keyblade?" Riku glanced at Lillith.
Mickey grinned. "That's an easy one, Riku. Remember how Sora fell to the darkness? Well when the darkness engulf him, the keychains he held were scattered, just like his body, heart, and soul. His keychains could be anywhere by now."
"So why does he still have Oathkeeper and Oblivion?" Kairi asked.
"Those keyblades represent the people in his life that he cares about the most. You two."
"Us?" Riku and Kairi looked at one another.
"They connect your hearts to his, but since the soul has it, Aros doesn't recognize you." Mickey said.
"So what about-"
Suddenly the Red Room's door burst open and Goofy fell to the ground, knocked out. Donald ran over him and looked at Mickey's face, panic written all over his face. The duck began to have one of his tantrums. Mickey waved his hands.
"Donald, calm down!" Mickey encouraged. "What's the problem, pal?"
"Obsidian's heading towards the End of the World. Tifa told me that one of our agents learned that Obsidian is going to use Sora's soul instead of Riku's." Donald yelled panicking.
"Is he crazy?" Lillith's eyelashes fluttered. "He can't do that. If he does, Sora will fight him back."
"But he'll still have what he wants though. A ticket to the other side." Mickey frowned.
"We've got to stop him." Riku stepped forward. "Can you create a portal to the End of the World."
"Yes, I can." Mickey looked up at Riku. "But you sure you wanna go? After what we went through?"
"I'm over that. I have to be in order to save Sora. Kairi, stay here." Riku demanded.
"No, I'm going too, Riku. Sora's my friend, too! I want to help him also." Kairi frowned.
"She'll be fine with you. I'm staying here with Daisy. Donald, Goofy, you go with King Mickey and make sure nothing bad happens to Riku and Kairi." Lillith instructed.
"Yes, ma'am!" Donald saluted.
Mickey raised his hand out to reveal a white Kingdom Key. Grasping it, he swung it and cut the air, revealing a wide rip in the emptiness. Turning towards Riku and Kairi, he smirked as he took a step toward the portal.
"This is the key from the other side." He stated. "I've been there before. Let's go."
"Right." Riku began to go, but Lillith quickly stopped him, placing Ultima in his hand.
"What's this for?" Riku asked.
"You really think you can do some good without a keyblade? Give me a break, Riku. Think before you leap and take care. You guys can save Sora. I know it." Lillith joked and winked at Riku.

Obsidian stepped forward in the cold environment of the End of the World. Aros stared and held his head, seeing small flashbacks of a spiky haired boy along with a dog and a duck. Shaking it, Aros looked up at Obsidian, who looked like he was dying. Obsidian pointed toward the gathering light with a small smile on his face.
"That's where we need to go. Keep walking, boy." He stated.
Aros growled as he looked up to glimpse something he never thought he would ever see. He saw the boy of a spiky brunette boy, wearing a black hooded longsleeves shirt and blue jeans. Aros looked at Obsidian, who looking back at him.
"He looks just like you." Obsidian stated. "Which means that he's the body."
"The what?" Aros stared at Obsidian. "What do you mean by 'the body'?"
"What do you think I mean?" Obsidian snapped. "You and him are the same people! Why else would he have your face?"
"You mean that, don't you?" Aros frowned. "Tell me what you're talking about? Who is he?"
"Heh, you're pathetic." Obsidian smirked. "You always were pathetic, Sora."
"What did you call me?" Aros looked at Obsidian with a confused face. "You're lying! I'm Aros ... "
"You're the keyblade master, you fool. You've been him since the beginning. Even your name spells his name out backwards. But now it's time for me to open the door to the other side... You will serve your purpose soon. Come, Aros, come and unite with me." Obsidian held a hand out.
Aros backed away. "You lied to me all this time and fell for it like a fool. Riku was right after all. I am Sora but what happened to my memories?"
"That doesn't matter," Obsidian grinned maniacally. "Merge with me."
Aros found himself stuck with fear as Obsidian pressed his hand against Aros' face. Aros began to see pitch black slowly as he dropped to his knees, feeling lighter and lighter as the seconds pass. In a matter of seconds, Aros was gone and Obsidian was complete.
