GT: I do not own Kingdom Hearts but I do own Sam, Dawn, Kari, and Gigi. ^_^

Recap:

It all started with a dream a teenager, Sam, about five hooded figures that have Sora captured. And it ended with Sam getting a necklace resembling the ever-famous keyblade. Then it went to him walking up and his world, Earth, crumbling into darkness. Leaving him and his two sisters, Kari and Dawn, alone together. Then Donald and Goofy were waiting for Sora who comes out and sees the five hooded figures from Sam's dream. Sora goes to fight them and right before he's attacked Mickey comes to save him. Sora goes to fight the leader of the group but after the leader whispers something in his ear, the teenager falls asleep and the hooded figures leave with Sora as a hostage. Meanwhile at Destiny Island, Kairi sitting watching the sunset when she sees Sora reaching out for her and then he vanishes, then she sees a mysterious boy replacing Sora who disappears shortly after. Kairi sees Sora again and follows him, he says that he'll come back and Kairi appears in Traverse Town. Then Sam and Kari wake up to find that Dawn is missing, Sam runs around the small piece of land they're on looking for the redhead but when she appears again with one of the hooded guys, she and Kari follow him through a portal leaving Sam alone in the darkness. The small land shortly disappears and Sam falls through the air.

When Sam wakes up, he's in a small shop. He runs around the town, which is known as Twilight Town, looking for his family. Later he is reunited with his dog, Gigi, and discovers they're on another world. Sam goes to talk to the man in the clock tower, who also comes from another world. Sam and the blindfolded man go to a cave, where Sam finds out the identity of the man who is Riku. Sam has a strange feeling that he's met him before but can't figure out from where. Riku takes out the dark keyblade, Oblivion, and tries to open the door but only with Sam's help he can. They appear in Traverse Town and are immediately attacked by Cloud and Leon. Sam climbs up to the gizmo shop roof to get away from the fighting but when the doors open again and the others come in with Kairi leading them. Sam blanks out and jumps off the roof. Riku and the others watch as Sam changes his dog into a dragon who catches the boy before he hits the ground. Riku runs up to the dazed boy, who responses in a very strange way by saying "You're forgetting me, They're forgetting me." Then Sam snaps back to normal with no knowledge of what he just tried to do and a smile on his face. Kairi and Riku are finally reunited only to worry about their third friend, Sora.

Chapter 4: Return of the King(hehehe...little joke there.)



"He's not with you," Riku says to Kairi as I watch the dramatic reunion between the old friends. ("I wonder if I could find Riku and Kairi.") I hear Sora's voice in my head as I watch the two friends talk to each other.

"Who are you?" A girl asks as I start to remember her name. Yuffie, I think it was. And Leon, Aerith, Cid, and Cloud. (How do I know who they are?) I think to myself as I shake Yuffie's hand.

"I'm Sam," I answer as my keyblade changes back into a necklace and appears on my neck. Everyone stares at me and the keyblade, Gigi licks my face. I knew it was going to be awhile to get used to the dragon.

"Where'd you get the keyblade?" Riku asks angrily as I once again back away from him.

"I found it in the darkness when my sisters got taken away. I used it against a hooded guy." I lie once again but now Riku can see through my lies.

"I can tell your lying," Riku says angrily as Kairi steps in between us. "Kairi." Riku looks down at the teenage girl who seemed to get under his skin.

"Riku, we don't have time for this we have to find Sora. Maybe he's with Donald and Goofy. We can always try going to their world." Kairi says with a smile as a chill runs down my spine. I stand behind Kairi who seems to be shielding me from the others who are very suspious of me.

"Sam." I hear someone say as I look on top of the gizmo shop and see a small blond girl standing there.

"Kari? Kari?! Is that you?!" I ask happily pushing past everyone and climbing back to the gizmo shop. I make it to the top to see my little sister standing there. "Kari, it is you!" I run lifting her up with a hug.

I look at Kari with a smile but she just stares mindlessly into my eyes. "Stupid boy, you haven't learned anything from him." A hooded figure guy says angrily stepping out of the shadows behind my sister.

"Riku! Help!'' I shout as I block a blast from my attacker. Kari walks over to the guy and holds his hand.

"Kari?" I ask as Riku, Cloud, and Leon run up to see me against the wall. "Why are you..with him?" I look at her as she looks at me as if she doesn't know me.

"Who is he?" Kari asks the hooded guy who seems to laugh at my reaction. The guy lifts me up by the neck.

"He's Nobody," the guy says as I remember what I had heard in my head earlier," a failed experiment that has to be terminated."

"Can I do it?" I hear Kari ask happily looking over to me her eyes going from blank to cold and distant.

"Not yet," the hooded guy says getting an inch away from my face as to let me see my face. "Memorize this face boy, I'll show it to you again in a more private setting later." Riku is about to hit the guy with his sword but is blocked by a small pink staff held by sister. The guy drops me and leaves into a portal following close behind him is Kari.

"Kari! Kari, come back!" I shout immediately standing up and running after the two of but someone stops me.

"You're not strong enough," the mouse says putting his keyblade in my path. I stare at the mouse that closely related something from my world.

"Mickey?" I ask unbelieving what was in my face. The famous Mickey mouse stood in front of me.

"King Mickey to you," I hear an annoying tone say as I turn around to see Donald and Goofy. I look at them questioningly before looking over at the others.

"I'm in a video game," I point out dryly as I glare at everyone. "It's a dream, that's what it is! This could never happen in real life!" Everyone stares at me like I'm a crazy person as I trip over my own feet and land on my face. "Okay, not a dream."

"You find the most interesting people , don't you Riku?" Kairi asks as I glare at her. Then I remember that it isn't a dream.

"My sister is evil and I'm alone with Disney characters," I say sitting down as I remember the look on my sisters face.

"So that girl was your sister?" Leon asks as we walk down the stairs into a hotel room. I sit down on the bed and cover my face with my hands.

"Riku, we have to help him. He's all alone," Kairi says quietly to the silver haired man who stands guarding the door. Riku looks over at me as I'm being questioned by the others.

"He's also the new keyblade master," Mickey says butting in with their conversion. They look over at me as Donald and Goofy try to lift my spirits.

"No frowning. No sad face." Donald says with a smile as I look at him with a red face and tears still rolling down.

"You got to look goofy like us." Goofy adds as a memory goes through my mind. ("This boat runs on happy faces." I hear Donald say to a younger Sora who looks down at his feet. "Happy?" Sora asks uncertain of what the word means anymore.) I close my eyes trying to wipe the memory from my head. "Are you alright?"

"Yeah, I think I'm going to be just fine." I answer as I feel a strange new burning from within in and I take out the keyblade. (I'll save them and then we'll go home.) I think to myself as a smile grows on my face.



-Riku's Dream-

"His voice. I don't hear it anymore." He thinks to himself as he stands on top of the clock tower of Twilight Town. "What's happened to him? He isn't with his friends. Where is he?"

"Riku? Is that you?" Someone asks as Riku turns around to see Sam and Kairi standing there. "Is there something wrong?"

"You seem, familiar." Riku says to Sam who smiles at him and starts to vanish.

"I hope I do, we're traveling together." Sam says leaning on Kairi with Gigi on his shoulder. Riku stares quickly at his two companions who smile at him.

"Do you know Kairi?" Riku asks as Sam smiles at him and walks over to him.

"Don't ya remember, you told me to take care of her." Sam says before vanishing. Riku stands trying to remember where he had heard that before.

"Riku! Hey Riku! We're getting ready to leave!" He hears someone say as he slowly wakes up.

-End of dream-

"Mornin'," I say with a smile as I throw a pack over my shoulder. I walk over to the door and start to leave. "We're going to another world. I just can't wait. I'll tell my little sisters when I get them back and who knows maybe when we're all together we'll go on an adventure too." I look over my shoulder to Riku who smirks at me and follows me out to the gummi ship.

"You remind me of someone, Sam." Riku says as we board the gummi ship. Kairi, Goofy, and Donald are already sitting waiting for us. I sit next to Goofy and stare out towards the passing stars.

"Remember, we still have to protect the world order. That means don't tell anyone that we're from another world!" Donald says angrily like it has happened before. (It has happened before,) Sora says in my mind as we land on a brightly colored world. "We're searching for crystals that will help us find the world where everyone is."

"Really? There's another world we're the people who kidnapped my family and Sora are?" I ask as we step out of the gummi ship.

"I've taken many procautions this time. So put on these." Donald says handing us pins, that completely changes our outfits into brightly mismatched colors.

"I'm blinded! O_O" I say falling to the ground for laughs as I look down at my lime green and hot pink suit. My top hat covers the side of my face. Kairi giggles as she stands over me in a multi-colored dress and Riku looks down at his hot pink and bright purple suit even his blindfold has changed colors. "That's a nice look, Willy Wonka."

"Be quiet before I make you be quiet." Riku says angrily as we walk through the doors into a really strange room.

"Where's that crystal?" I ask, Riku just stares at me.

"Did you think we'd find it once we step in the door? We have to look for it, which means we have to shrink." Riku says commandingly as he takes a sip of a drink and shrinks down to five-inches.

"Yea! I'm finally taller than him!" I shout happily as Kairi and the others drink and join him.

"Hurry up!" Little Riku says angrily as I take a sip and join the four of them. "What took you so long? Did that pin also change your brain?"

"Can't just have fun with it Riku?" I ask happily as Gigi joins us and lands on my shoulder, wagging her scaly tail. Kairi walks through the door, leaving us behind. "Come on, we don't wanna leave Kairi alone."

"You do remind me of someone. I just can't remember who." Riku says under his breathe as he runs after me.

"I think I found it!" Kairi shouts standing in front of a strange mouement with a glowing crystal on the top of it.

"That was fast!" I shout as I stand behind her. Riku and the others follow us and we just stare up at the jewel. "How are we gonna get it?"

"You won't," someone says from behind us. We all turn to see one of the hooded people standing there, "because you won't be alive." Riku and I stand in defensive positions glaring angrily at him or her.

"Are you really that sure?" Riku asks with a smug look on his face as he prepares to attack.

"I was told that you were the who'd get reiled up the most, Riku. And my how you've grown, it can bring a person to tears." The hooded person says with a laughing tone in his voice.

"Who are you?" Riku asks as the person crosses his arms and cocks his head to the left shoulder.

"He might know," the person says pointing to me. Riku looks over at me, I couldn't see his eyes but the rest of his facial expressions gave away the anger he was feeling.

"What haven't you been telling us?!" Riku shouts angrily as he turns away from the guy and puts Oblivion right in my face. I look over at the guy who seems to be laughing at us.

"Weakness in the ranks, are there? Trust is one of the most important elements of a team, but if you keep lying there is no trust." The person says as I glare at him.

"I'm not lying! I've told you everything! Do you believe him or me?!" I snap, Riku looks over at what he's doing. "Riku, we don't have time for this. Don't you want to save your friend?"

"What friend?" Riku asks as I stand back stunned, Kairi looks over at me with a puzzled look on her face.

"We're saving your sisters," Kairi says as I look over at the hooded person who starts to take off his hood.

"Are you starting to realize what's going on here, kiddo?" The hooded person says as his hood falls to his shoulders.

"It's you," I say in shock as I stare into his eyes.

I usually think cliffies are tacky but they sure are fun aren't they. Read on and REVIEW!
