Kingdom Hearts 2: The Door to the Light

Hello! I'm just a typical KH fan/player waiting for KH2, so gathering from what happened at the end of KH, I've written a story with my own theories plus some stuff I thought up. Spoilers ahead! If you haven't finished KH or seen the 'Special Secret~ Another Side, Another Story' I recommend you DO! I'm using that in my story in written form.

Disclaimer: I didn't write the written version of 'Another Side, Another Story,' I copied it from an excellent player; Clement Chan Zhi Li who is an expert on cheats which I used countless times throughout my completion of KH, so all credit for that goes to Clement Chan Zhi Li!

Just so you know~ "Final Mix" is the extended and more difficult version of KH but I don't own that either and think it's only available in Japan. {Dammit!}

Okay nuff of the borin' stuff!

Chapter 1- The Unknown

Thunder could be heard, ripples of water seen and the movie zooms in at a mysterious man (A.N.: now known as Unknown) walking in the rain in the middle of a city. As he reached to the middle, tons of Neo-Shadows (A.N.: new Heartless in Kingdom Hearts: Final Mix) appear.

The screen shifts rapidly between two (A.N.: previously thought as the same person) Unknowns, the one preparing to fight Neo-Shadows and another Unknown wearing blindfold on top of the building.

The Unknown took out two keyblades (A.N.: one of them apparently looked like Oblivion). A symbol of the Kingdom Hearts (A.N.: or was it the Heartless? I'm not sure which) appears in bright pink on the ground, and the Neo-Shadows back away a little.

The Unknown mimes some words (A.N.: since no voice could be heard) with the text flashing across quickly and rapidly: "Where's Sora?" Door of Light behind the darkness HEARTLESS ENDLESS NOBODY ID. "This is the world in its true form"

"We have come for you, My Liege"

"You are the source of all Heartless."

"Sora...Why?"

"Who is Nobody you ask? They are the non-existent ones."

"His voice, I don't hear it anymore."

"Maybe our journey meant nothing after all."

"Can we do it? Against that?"

"Your Highness! But why!"

"Is this the answer you've been looking for?"

"What is this place!?"

"Sora?"

"You are not my concern!"

"This time...I'll fight."

"It's not over yet."

"Sora"

"What took you so long, Kairi?"

It ends with a bright light, "We'll go together." And lastly, it showed a short clip of Kairi overlooking the sea with a meteor over the sky (A.N.: it IS NOT Rikku, or Tifa, or whatever Final Fantasy female characters you can think of).

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sora woke up with a start, panting and covered with sweat. He breathed deeply and took in his surroundings. He had been sleeping against a tree with Donald and Goofy a few metres away. He was sitting on lush green grass with a clear star-filled sky overhead.

He reached into his pocket and drew out the letter with King Mickey's seal on it that they had chased Pluto hours for. He had reread it many times and was still confused.

Dear Donald, {Goofy and Sora}

The door to Kingdom Hearts has been closed and all worlds have appeared to've returned to their original state, but there is something else, the barriers between worlds are still inactive.

A dark force is stirring.an unknown force, but it's using the heartless in some way. We haven't been able to locate it but have seemingly accurate assumptions. We believe that just as Ansem used Hollow Bastion as a base, that they have taken control of a world or haven't been detected by the inhabitants. I believe they are preparing to use this world for their own purposes. Be wary and don't under-estimate anything you come across.

If you continue down this road you will reach Disney Castle, get a vessel to Traverse Town and find Leon {Hollow Bastion is being rebuilt after the damage done from the Heartless and Maleficent}, he might be able to give you more answers.

*O*{A.N.: In case you're wondering this is Mickey's sign, it's the best I could do.}

Sora sighed in frustration, this letter didn't tell him anything. He was worried about Kairi and Riku. Mickey didn't mention them, was that a good sign or not?

He remembered his dream, it was similar to the one he had dreamt the past couple of nights, except this time he was mentioned. Maybe it was one of those bizarre delusions that you dream a couple of times then forget? Well whoever the "Unknowns" were, he decided just to let it slide.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Welcome to Disney Castle, we were expecting you," Daisy said as she welcomed Sora, Goofy and Donald into the giant castle.

"Have you-," began Sora, only to be cut off.

"I'm sorry, we don't know anymore than you do," Daisy apologised. Sora looked crestfallen. "I assume you wish to use a vessel?" Daisy continued in a gentle voice.

"Thankyou Daisy, we must be soon flying to Traverse Town," said Donald professionally.

"This way," and Daisy turned, her heels giving a delicate 'clip-clop' as she walked down a marble-floored hallway.

Sora gazed at all the portraits and statues of Mickey that he passed and knew that there was no mistaking who had lived here and was much loved by all.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Donald flicked on a power switch and the gummi ship rumbled to life. He looked at Sora expecting the usual argument on who would be pilot as had happened numerous times in the past, but Sora sat down at the back and gazed out the window blankly. Donald shrugged and sat in the pilot's seat, flicked a few more switches and dropped down the launching hole. The ship vibrated slightly and sped away from Disney Castle.

Sora was disappointed. He had been sure everything would be explained at the Castle, even the safety of his friends, after all King Mickey lived there!

But apparently Mickey hadn't told the residents at Disney Castle anything, they were just as lost as he was. Well maybe Leon would have some answers.

What was this 'unknown' dark force? Which world had they taken? Was Riku still stuck in Kingdom Hearts? Was Kairi safe? So many questions he wanted answers to.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The trio stepped out into the familiar surroundings of the 1st District. They had to find Leon.

Sora ran forward past the Accessory Shop and into the doorway marked '2nd District', with Donald and Goofy close behind. He almost expected Heartless to appear but reminded himself that everything was supposed to have returned to normal.

A flash of steel caught his eye to his right and he saw a blindfolded figure with silver-white pointed hair. Huge fat raindrops fell from the sky and a finger of lightning lit the area up like a sun that would never dawn.

The figure drew a weapon but Sora couldn't recognise its features because most of the electric lights that decorated the buildings had gone out due to the lightning. The figure jumped and Sora finally recognised him. He was from Sora's dream that had haunted him night after night, the Unknown.

The Unknown landed as graceful as a cat and unharmed from his high jump. Then suddenly he thrust out his weapon and nipped the skin of Sora's arm. Sora had dodge-rolled and would have lost an arm had he not rolled, but it was no time to praise his good fortune.

The Unknown took up a defensive stance and circled him warily. Sora drew his keyblade with the Ultima key-chain {A.N.: I only have the Oblivion but I'm working on getting the Ultima key-chain}.

Without warning the Unknown swung again, Donald threw him off with a blast of firaga. The Unknown dodged it easily but missed his chance to attack. Sora knew they couldn't hold out long.

The Unknown took another swing, an action that would have split Sora in two, but Sora's lightning fast reflexes saved him again. He swung his keyblade up to defend himself as he had done once against Riku/Ansem when he tried to take Kairi's heart.

The Unknown put weight on his weapon forcing Sora to his knees. Sora's legs crumpled as he fell to his knees and Goofy hacked at the Unknown, with his shield, to no avail. Sora could feel his muscles strain.

The Unknown removed one hand from his weapon but his strength against Sora did not lessen. He reached behind his back and drew another weapon, which he used to strike a horizontal cut across Sora's chest. Sora cried out and fell.

Donald and Goofy yelled in rage. They pelted the Unknown with countless blows that did not affect him.

The Unknown raised both weapons when a spiral of darkness appeared at his side. A second Unknown stepped out and caught the first Unknown's arms before the blades fell. Sora stirred.

"What are you doing?!" screamed a hoarse and unnatural voice from the first Unknown. "I have him! I have the key at my reach! This is our chance!"

"You don't want to finish him.not just yet, we need him. Leave the boy and the key for now. We have been summoned," a cold, hoarse voice, very like the first Unknown's, spoke from the second Unknown's mouth.

"I have weakened the boy! Next time he will be more prepared for us. We would do well to take him and the key NOW!" yelled the first.

"NO! YOU HAVE BEEN SUMMONED! YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE COME HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE!" screeched the second, and with that he whacked the first Unknown across the cheek with the back of his hand. Against any normal person, the blow would have knocked them unconscious and also would have thrown them metres away, but the Unknown barely moved.

He grunted, threw one long glance full of loathing at the crumpled form of Sora, and dissolved into a spiral of darkness with the second Unknown close behind him.

During their conversation, Donald and Goofy had hung back, listening and waiting, aware that they could have done nothing to help Sora. As soon as the Unknowns disappeared, Donald healed Sora and both supported him the rest of the way to the 3rd District and into the Small House where Leon, Yuffie and Aerith waited.

How woz zat eh? Enough to get you hooked? I hope so! I'm already thinking of some ideas for Chapter 2 but I'm not going to put it up until I get at least 5 reviews. {Sorry! Maybe if I get bored I'll put it up}.

Yeah I'm also one to write long chapters with short paragraphs.

All polite criticism welcome and all good reviews get a cookie. {Don't wait up for it though}.
