"Hey Riku wake up!" A voice yelled.
Riku jerked awake. He'd fallen asleep at the end of the pier. He looked up at Sora and gasped. He was holding the Keyblade.
"QUICK!!! GET YOUR OWN KEYBLADE!! THE HEARTLESS ARE ATTACKING!"
"WHAT?!" Riku yelled. He looked towards the shore. A swarm of shadow heartless had materialized. Riku stood up and raised his hand. His black and red keyblade appeared. He remembered how he'd used it to fight against his own friends when he'd gone over to darkness. He looked at it with disgust.
"COME ON RIKU!" Sora yelled. "The last I saw they were chasing Kairi towards the secret place!"
Riku ran down the shore after Sora slashing through swarms of Heartless. As they cut through them, monsters vanished in wispy clouds of shadows.
They crawled through the tunnel that led to the secret place. Kairi was already there. She had her own sword in her hand. It was white with a gold handle.
"Sora look!" She cried pointing. The door to darkness had reappeared and it seemed to be brimming with shadows.
Suddenly the door swung open and Kairi screamed. She was being sucked into it. Sora's hand shot out and grabbed a hold of her wrist. But to his horror he realized that he was being sucked in too. Riku quickly grabbed onto a vine hanging off the wall and grabbed onto Sora's hand.
"Hang on you guys!" He yelled, "I'm gonna try to pull us out!"
He started to crawl along the ground, still holding onto the vine.
Suddenly the vine snapped and they all plunged through the door into darkness.
"What the hell are this things?!" Tidus yelled as he sliced through a heartless.
"I don't know man! But they keep on coming!" Wakka yelled destroying one with his blitzball. Lulu was electrocuting one with her thunderga magic attack, while Yuna blew a group of them to bits with her Aeon Ixion.
"Um, guys?" A voice yelled. They turned to see their friend Rikku (no relation to Riku, Rikku is a girl, Riku is a boy) standing there. She pointed at the sky. A huge swirling vortex had appeared and was sucking in everything around them.
"Quick! Everyone back on the airship!" Yuna screamed. But Tidus grabbed her arm and stopped her.
"It's too late!" He yelled, "It already has us!" As he spoke they were lifted into the air and dragged through the vortex.
"HERE WE GO AGAIN!" Wakka yelled.
Mia moaned and opened her eyes. "How long have I been sleeping?" She looked at her clock. It read 10:00 pm. Thunder crashed outside but she ignored it and looked out the window. A blood-curdling scream escaped her lips. She could she hundreds of shadow creatures down on the shore. They were chasing people and sniffing around. She noticed one touching a palm tree. The moment the creature laid its claws on the trunk the tree withered and died.
The door to her bedroom swung open and at least a dozen of those creatures burst into her room. She screamed. She tried the window but the latch was stuck. She was trapped! Those horrible creatures grabbed her by the legs and dragged her to the floor.
"No! Leave me alone! STAY AWAY FROM ME!" She screamed. She could make out a faint whispering noise coming from the creatures.
"We must take her back…"
"…Yes, back to her."
"NOOOOOOOO!" Mia screamed shielding her face, "I SAID STAY AWAY FROM ME!"
"Leave her alone!" A voice yelled. Mia looked up.
Standing in the doorway was a girl with shoulder-length reddish-brown hair and glasses. She held a purple sword with a red handle. Mia recognized her as her best friend Katie.
Katie had come to the Islands a few months ago. She wouldn't say where she was from or why she was alone. One thing was for sure; Katie was a good kind person.
Katie raised her sword and destroyed the creatures with one swipe. She broke the glass in the window and jumped out onto the sandy shore. Before Mia followed her, she grabbed her backpack and loaded it with supplies. Something told her it'd be a long time before she returned here.
Once they were both outside Katie and Mia were immediately confronted by a group of those creatures.
"What are these things?" Mia screamed.
"We call them Heartless." Katie said matter-of-factly.
Mia swung her fists weakly at them but they tackled her and she stumbled back.
"Take this." Katie said handing her a sword. Mia gaped at it in shock.
It had a golden blade and a blue handle. In the center of the handle was a glistening golden gem. It had some sort of chain hanging off the end of the handle with a smaller gem at the end. It was so strong and powerful looking, but it was light and easy to handle.
Katie smiled. "That belonged to an old friend of mine named Carolyn."
Mia's eyes widened. "From your old home?"
Katie nodded. "That sword is extremely powerful, I hope you know how to use it."
Mia smiled and nodded. She wiped out the heartless with one swipe.
*When these appear a song is playing*
~Otherworld~
*Go now if you want it. An otherworld awaits you
Don't you give up on it. You bite the hand that feeds you*
They ran up to the highest point on the island. It was a hill called King of the Mountain Rock. They could see a swirling vortex in the sky. It was pulling up trees, bushes, people, everything.
They reached the top of the hill. It was directly under the vortex. Mia could feel the suction of it. A group of Heartless began to follow them uphill.
*All alone, cold fields you wander
Memories of it, cloud your sight
Fills you dreams, disturbs your slumber
Lost your way, a fallen knight*
"KATIE WE'RE TRAPPED!" Mia screamed.
Katie shook her head. "No we're not."
*Hold now aim is steady. An otherworld awaits you.
One thousand years-you ready? The other world it takes you*
"Katie, you're scaring me." Mia whimpered.
Katie nodded. "Good. You should be scared."
"I-I don't understand."
"You will."
*Go into the sand and the dust in the sky
Go now; no better plan to do or to die
Free me pray to the faith in the face of the light
Feed me; fill me with sin now get ready to fight.
You know you will
You know you will
You know you know you know you know you that you will.
You know you know you know you know you that you will.
You know you will*
Katie grabbed Mia by the front of the shirt and held her up towards the vortex and released her. To Mia's great shock she was being pulled up into the portal.
"Be careful!" Mia screamed down to Katie who was still on the ground. The heartless had covered her. Mia heard her scream in pain.
*Hope dies and you wonder. The otherworld it makes you.
Dreams they rip you asunder. The otherworld it hates you.
Free now, ride up on it. Up to the heights it takes you
Go now if you want it. An otherworld awaits you*
~Song ends~
Mia saw a flash of something pink being drawn from Katie's body. It looked like her heart. The heartless took it and absorbed it. Katie lay there pale and white. The heartless scooped her up and carried her off.
"KATIE!!!" Mia screamed as she was pulled up into the light and disappeared.
Riku jerked awake. He'd fallen asleep at the end of the pier. He looked up at Sora and gasped. He was holding the Keyblade.
"QUICK!!! GET YOUR OWN KEYBLADE!! THE HEARTLESS ARE ATTACKING!"
"WHAT?!" Riku yelled. He looked towards the shore. A swarm of shadow heartless had materialized. Riku stood up and raised his hand. His black and red keyblade appeared. He remembered how he'd used it to fight against his own friends when he'd gone over to darkness. He looked at it with disgust.
