Chapter 14: These Tears We Cry are Falling Fray

Sora woke,

"Hm…everything in my dream felt so weird, like, as if it was really happening. Oh well." he sat in his bed and put on his shoes, "Everyone's gone. They must be in the Library having breakfast."

"Not everyone is eating, young Keybearer." said a deep voice. Sora turned-and saw the coated unknown, "The Gathering is starting soon. You should get ready." he said,

"The Gathering? Who's coming? Who are you?"

"You will know in the future. We will meet at the outside of the Chapel," he tossed Sora some dark-looking clothes, "to be prepared, wear these." Sora blinked,

"You're voice, it's so familiar. Wait-are you the mummy?" but Unknown just laughed a menacing, dark laugh,

"Let's just say I'm already out of your way." he chuckled and disappeared in a cloud of darkness.

* * * * * *
Another Unknown appeared at a place that was still dark. By the surroundings, it looked like 'The End of The World'. He came out in front of a rock, and looked to see who was in front of him, and it was even another Unknown, the other one looked at him,

"He looks just like you." it mysteriously muttered,

"Sora? Don't worry, that'll all change…"

* * * * * *

Twilight Town was raining in the morning. Dark clouds were just beginning to cover it. Another Unknown stepped into the arena. He held Oblivion…the key chain was stolen from Aries somehow! And to make it worse, he too had a Keyblade to put the key chain in,

"Where's Sora? Where's Sora?" he muttered under his breath. For some reason, he had to find him.


* * * * * *

Sora put on his outfit, and stepped outside, as if in a daze. He stepped into the Library, and looked at Donald, Goofy, and Yuffie. They all looked a bit sad,

"Sora…" Yuffie said darkly, "They're coming. It's the Gathering. These weirdoes from all over are coming to Hollow Bastion for some reason. And Riku-" Donald stepped in,

"Riku left. Last night. And this morning, we checked the remaining boats to the White Sanctuary and we figured out that one has left. He either left to go there, or he was taken there.

* * * * * *
Riku was hypnotized. Not knowing a thing he was doing, he held a little star shaped key chain in his hand. Oathkeeper. Once again, Riku was taken by the darkness, or was he? Everything was confusing.

He entered the dripping wet city, and was confronted by the same Unknown that was there previously,

"You. Give me that key chain." Riku undoubtedly gave it to him, "Now, see the tallest building right there? Go to the top of it, I might need your assistance. Take this blindfold as well, you don't want to be known around here, especially by those characters, Aries, Cloud, Cid, Leon."

Unknown held two Keyblades, Oathkeeper and Oblivion. Who knows why? He stepped through the empty and wet city, and was confronted by a swarm of Heartless,

"Where's Sora?" he said again, and began fighting.

Atop, Riku took off his blindfold,

"I've been fooled? Why am I here?" He looked down, and saw someone fight Heartless, "Sora! He's here too. He'll know what's going on." The rest you know.

* * * * * *
"Sora, what's with the funky outfit?" Goofy asked as they climbed the stairs to the outside of the Chapel,

"No idea, I can barely remember this morning, until I went into the Library."

They ran and saw someone…

"Hey! He reminds me of someone I've seen before…" Sora said, "Wait…his voice! It's ANSEM!" and with that, the three ran to him at top speed,

"Heartless! Come forth." he said as he raised his hand. And with that, Heartless came out of the ground.

* * * * * *

Kairi sat down on the beach. Something was wrong. Something really bad was going to happen…she looked out into the sea where the sky touched it, and saw something. Stars…they were falling,

"No! What's happening?!" she yelled worriedly. Tidus ran out next to her,

"Kairi, you're crying, what's wrong?" Kairi silently pointed to the sky, "Ohmygosh! What the heck? What's happening?" Kairi shook her head,

"I don't know…Sora doesn't even know. But I know that something big is happening. I-I have to go to Sora now. He has to know what's happening!" in tears of worry, she took a deep breath, and disappeared in white light.

* * * * * *

"Sora!" she yelled grabbing Sora's arm, "Sora. The stars are falling, look into the sky!" she cried pointing up,

"Kairi, I don't know what's happening, but get out of the way! Heartless!" he yelled getting rid of all of them, "Kairi, go home, NOW! You're safe there. Hurry! Listen, tell Tidus-" he was grabbed by a Heartless, and was bing pounded, "Tell him-I said hi!" and with that, Kairi turned around and ran home. What the heck was happening? Stars falling-The Gathering-This Duel bladed Keybearer-Ansem? Sora didn't know, and when all of the Heartless were defeated, he lunged at Ansem with his Keyblade, Kairi! he thought, I'm always with you too.

The End
