Well, this is my second chapter^^. Hope you all like it. The people are real. The cases.....aren't(why am I reciting things from Judge Judy?). I don't own my friends, I asked them if they wanted to be in my story^^. Disclaimer: I don't own Final Fantasy 7, 8, 9, 10, or 10-2. But I wish I did^^. I also don't own the Disney characters/worlds, or Kingdom Hearts. Thank you. Ehm.
RikuNghts: Thanks for reviewing^^. FF:ANAB keeps getting better and better^^.
"......" talking

strange voice
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~scene change~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Back at Kingdom Hearts~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Mickey? King Mickey?" Riku's voice faded into the darkness. He gripped Mickey's keyblade tightly in his right hand, the end glimmering in a hidden light. Riku was ready just in case any stray Heartless came around. But, even if any did, his attacks would be in vain, as Riku stood there, in the violent blackened depths. Slowly and carefully, he started walking through the endless abyss. Suddenly, Riku saw something far off ahead of him; a small flash, disappearing as quickly as it had came. He then strolled off cautiously towards where he thought the object was, finally finding it.
Riku wanted to scream, but couldn't find his voice, or believe what he saw. Mickey's body sat limply on the cold, dark ground, as Riku stared in horror and shock. His body was sprawled, gloves and clothes torn, his eyes closed, with shallow cuts all over him. King Mickey was dead, and Riku knew it. He just denied that fact as he stood there, all alone in a place he knew so little about, without a way to escape, and without anywhere else to go. Mickey had, been presumably killed by the Heartless. Riku instantly found what had flickered and caught his attention. It was a keychain, hanging from Mickey's small pocket, the design dark and shiny. What really surprised Riku was the design, a blackened Heartless symbol, the edges seemingly embedded in a deep shade of red.
Why would King Mickey have this? He fought against the Heartless.. Riku wondered, his eyes half-closed in thought. He then bent down, taking the keychain from Mickey's pocket with his free hand, the smooth and soft keychain glimmering in the darkness. Touching it even with his gloves, Riku could feel the freezing surface of the symbol, sending a tiny chill down his spine. Gazing at it for a few seconds, Riku started to zone out, lost in deep thought once again.
Many small yellow eyes suddenly peered at Riku through the darkness, noticing Riku had left his guard down, sensing that it was the perfect time to attack. Heartless. But they were different than from before, larger and more human-looking, although similar to Shadows. Neo Shadows. Finally feeling that something was wrong, Riku looked up from the tarnished keychain, realizing what was happening. Still gripping Mickey's keyblade in his right hand, Riku rapidly put the flawed keychain into his pocket, and held the keyblade with both hands, in attack-like stance. There were multitudes of Heartless, their eyes flickering, the only light seen through the depths, as they crowded around Riku and King Mickey's body.
....I won't give up....not yet....Riku slashed the keyblade through Heartless upon Heartless, apparently with ill effect. After one Heartless was destroyed, 2 more would take its place, making it seem hopeless to Riku. ...They're getting stronger...they're learning. There's nothing I can do to stop them, unless.. Riku shuddered slightly at that thought, but he was running out of options. Riku stopped attacking for a quick moment, as the Heartless waited and watched. Pulling out the Heartless keychain from his pocket, Riku used it. A silent, darkening flash occurred, and Riku could see no more, falling into the endless pits of unconsciousness....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Some house in the middle of a nowhere town in New York~~~~~~
It was 8:00 at night on a Saturday. Her mom had gone to a meeting out of town, leaving Ann with her dad(AN: POPPIE!....lol^^), who snored quietly on the couch in the living room with the History Channel on(AN: NOOOO!!!!! ^_^). Ann was on the computer, checking for signs of new e-mails from her pen-pals, and IMing people. Bored because there wasn't a lot of people on, but not wanting to IM the SmarterChild bot, she decided to surf the internet. Eventually noticing she IM'd sometimes was on, Ann decided to IM her.

And then, silence. The 3 of them all stopped IMing here, even after she had waited an hour. All of them weren't away or anything, and none of them mentioned having to leave. So, Ann gave up, and decided to go play Final Fantasy X....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Brookie's house~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The house was still, as Brooke's mind fled into unconsciousness, and the whole world in her eyes swirled and warped. The last thing she heard, after she saw the figure standing in her room with the black jacket was 'This isn't over........'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Hollow Bastion~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aerith wandered around Hollow Bastion, searching for Yuffie and Cloud. They were both late for dinner, so Squ-I mean, Leon, had sent her to look for them. Cloud's probably in the library.....and Yuffie's...around, probably hiding. Aerith started heading for the library, shaking her head, taking the short way, knowing Cid and Leon would be annoyed if she took too long.....
