Chapter Three
"Keep your face to the sunshine and you will not see the shadows" Helen
Keller
Sora was panting his hands on his knees. Donald had made him practice magic for the past hour, and he was almost drained. "Can we take a break?" He asked.
"No Sora you remember what King Mickey said, the Heartless could attack at anytime." Donald scolded.
The teen sighed as he moved his sweat covered bangs out of the way of his vision. "I was afraid you would say that." He muttered. Looking over at his right hand, he was partly glad that his original keyblade only showed up. He wasn't ready to tell Donald and Goofy about the golden one yet for some reason.
The morning slowly progressed into afternoon as Donald and Goofy trained Sora to the max, making sure that he could still wield the keyblade and use magic. Sora leaned against a wall as he watched Donald and Goofy practice.
That was when he felt it, nothing at first, but then this strange cold feeling began to come over Sora's heart. Quickly he put his left hand over his chest, as the cold got worse. Donald and Goofy didn't even see him fall to the ground. What is happening.... He thought.
Donald looked over after dodging Goofy to see his friend kneeling down in pain. Quickly he ran over to him. "Sora what's wrong?"
"I don't know." Sora muttered between clenched teeth as the coldness began sweeping through his body. He began to feel sleepy, and wanted to close his eyes, as they became heavy.
You can't do that! It is not your time! A voice shouted in his head. Suddenly a warmth came from Sora's left hand as the golden keyblade appeared. It began glowing as Sora cried out, something seemed to shoot out of his body.
Gasping Sora felt the warmth return to him, it felt as though something was trying to take his soul, as his saphire eyes looked at the white thing standing there. As if he knew what to do, he lept forward and attacked it with the golden keyblade, destroying it.
"Garsh, what was that thing?" Goofy asked confused.
"It was a Souless." Sora gasped out, not knowing what he was saying.
"How did you know that..." Donald began, but before he was answered the castle began shaking. Dark clouds began filling the sky, turning day to night.
Sora suddenly felt something, it was time, this was it. Slowly surveying the area he got ready. In a voice quite not his own he muttered. "Donald, Goofy, it's time. Let's save the Kingdom."
With that said the spikey haired teen ran down the stairs, towards where he felt the source was. Along the way he began slashing the heartless that were coming up through the stairs and the halls as Sora ran through, hoping his friends were gaurding his back.
He noticed the closer he got to the throne room the stronger the heartless seemed to be. Doing his best to create a path, he weaved through and pushed open the doors. Before his eyes the Souless were running everywhere.
Saphire eyes caught site of something horrible, Queen Minnie was about to be attacked by a Souless. Quickly jumping in the air, he glided over to where she stood, activating the golden keyblade he slashed the Souless till it turned to smoke.
Noticing one of their kind was down, the other souless leaped at Sora and Queen Minnie.
"Stopaga!" Donald's voice rang in the air. Taking no time in pausing the keyblade master began attacking the frozen Souless with the golden keyblade. Soon black smoke rose up, as they were defeated.
"Thanks for the help Sora." Queen Minnie told the boy. Her eyes caught sight of the golden blade. "We will talk about this later, now though you must help out the others."
"What about you?" He asked.
"I'll be fine, there is a passage I can hide it till its safe."
"Okay." Sora then turned to Donald and Goofy, his dual blades glowing. "Let's go guys."
The two nodded, as they left the throne room, and were met by an army of Heartless. With a battle cry, Sora lept into battle, destroying the Heartless as quickly as he could. The sooner these things were gone the better. He already began to feel, strange, as a huge black fog seemed to rise up from the Heartless being killed.
"Is everybody okay?" Goofy asked, as they gathered up. Sora looked at his arm to see there were cuts, but they didn't seem to bad.
"What do we do now? The heartless, and souless will keep coming." Donald said.
Sora thought for a moment, as the smoke cleared up. "Where is the keyhole of this place?" He asked.
"Not sure, King Mickey never told us." Goofy muttered.
The teen sighed. "Then we might have....."
"I know where it is." Came a voice.
"Max, what are you doing here, its dangerous." Goofy said with concern.
Sora looked over to see Max approaching them with a sword in hand. A very familar looking sword, figuring he would ponder it later, he looked around. "How did you find out about it?" He asked.
"King Mickey showed it to me, he said something about me needing to know about it." Max answered. "We better hurry before the Heartless get to the core of this world."
Sora agreed and nodded to Max to lead the way. They hurried through the halls, destroying Heartless along the way. As they did twist and turns in the halls the teen seemed to know where Max was leading them.
During the time he couldn't help, but look at the sword, Max was carrying, it looked identical to the one he saw in his dream before he became weilder of the keyblade.
Quickly reaching the wall, Max knocked and hit it four times, as the passage way opened, without wasting time, he and Sora scaled the stairs leaving Goofy and Donald behind to grope their way.
"The keyhole was in the room we spared in." Sora panted out his spikey hair seeming to blow back in a fake wind.
"Yeah, I thought you would have known that." Max commented as they scaled higher.
"Well it will explain why I had a strange feeling from it, for so long, but that doesn't explain...." They had then reached the door.
Donald and Goofy finnally caught up, out of breath.
"Ready?" Max asked.
Nodding they burst through the door, to see Souless trying to destroy the keyhole. "Hey, what are you doing?!" Sora shouted.
The souless turned toward them, and seeming to move around, leaped at the group instantly the golden keyblade began glowing brightly as saphire eyes seemed to light up as Sora began destroying the Souless. He didn't even notice the scratch's he was recieving.
"Sora! Curaga!" Donald shouted healing his friend. Quickly he turned and began firing spells at the Souless that was coming at him. Nothing seemed to affect it, as Max lept forward and slashed it with the sword, injuring it. "Thanks."
"No problem Donald." Max answered.
Sora seemed to fair the best as his keyblade slashed through the Souless like butter. Quickly he moved over the keyhole, and looked at both his keyblades, which one to use. Raising up his silver keyblade he held it up, as it began glowing the boy began sealing the keyhole.
As soon as the click of a locked door sounded the keyhole faded. He turned around to look Donald, Goofy, and Max in the eye before noticing their injuries. Holding up his golden keyblade, he concentrated. "Curaga!" He exclaimed healing them all, and falling down on his knees exausted.
"Are you okay?" Goofy asked.
Sora nodded, and pulled himself up by one of his keyblades. Max hurried over and put Sora's arm over his shoulder while sheaving the sword. The keyblade master gave his thanks through his eyes, as he willed the keyblades away.
Slowing they made their way back to the throne room where Queen Minnie, Daisy, and the others were waiting. Minnie approached them and looked straight at Sora. "Tell me where did you get that golden keyblade?"
Saphire eyes still held exaustion, but he looked steadied at the Queen. "I recieved it, King Mickey said I would need it for the upcoming journey."
Minnie nodded carefully. "Why was it given to you, Mickey won't have any protection.."
"Uh, your majesty?"
"Sorry, I was just thinking. Did you know that you were carrying the King's keyblade?"
Sora shook his head. "I really didn't know." He then thought for a moment. "Maybe I saw it, though I don't remember where exactly."
"The door of light." Donald muttered looking at Queen Minnie.
Queen Minnie began pacing as certain things went through her mind. She then stopped and took a deep breath. "I've decided, it appears the darkness has been set loose again. Which means you will be needed Sora, along with you Donald and Goofy, though you will need help. Max, Huey, Duey, and Luey I want you to accompany them."
There were several gasps from everyone. Sora's startled saphire eyes looked over at everyone. "But your majesty, that will leave you and Lady Daisy unprotected, there could still be Heartless and Souless running around."
"He's right, your majesty. That is why Goofy and I must stay here." Donald stated firmly.
"But Donald...." Sora began.
"No Sora, Donald is right, the queen needs to be protected. If she gets injured or..." Goofy swallowed hard. "Well our world will be destroyed."
"I'm trusting Goofy's son, and Donald's nephews will be enough help for you." Queen Minnie said to Sora.
Sora looked from Max's happy look of exploring worlds over to Donalds nephews who were a bit shocked,before closing his eyes tightly. "No they can't come, either." He muttered.
Everyone looked straight at him. "Sora your going to need help, you can't do this on your own." Max said.
Sora knew he probably was being selfish, but it didn't feel like he was getting any choice. "Who says I can't, I do have two keyblades now." He reopened his eyes and looked straight ahead. "You don't understand, I can't risk their lives, Donald and Goofy knew what happened out there, how to handle themselves, they don't. Besides, I was meant to be alone." He added, then turned and walked straight out on everyone.
The door was opened at the end of the hall, as keyblade master made his exit. The silence in the room was deafening, everyone was trying to avoid talking.
"So what do we do now?" Goofy asked breaking the silence.
There was no answer from the group, as they slowly departed.
Sora paced around his room, his saphire eyes reflecting frustration and confusion. Suddenly he hit a fist against a nearby wall, what was wrong with him? Everything that he knew and trusted was being destroyed. His journey was starting again, but without Donald and Goofy, it was almost like he was by himself again.
Slowly he made his way over to the window and openned it. He then gently closed his eyes and let the sunlight stream on his head. He tried imagining himself back on the island running through the sand, with Riku and Kairi, and the others.
Kairi
The girl he never had a chance to tell his true feelings. He had tried back when the island was being recreated, but his words never reached her ears. At that moment when things were falling apart, he wished more then anything to be with her right at this moment.
Slowly he walked into the balcony area of the window, jumped up, and climbed onto part of the stone roof of the castle. Slipping back so he was leaning against the wall Sora reclosed his eyes, and just let the sun hit him. He had to relax and think, for the time about what he should do. Was he really capable of fighting alone?
A girl with reddish shoulder length hair walked barefoot through the sands of her home. Slowly turning she looked out towards the ocean waves crashing against the shore. It had been two years and still there was no sign of him.
She then stopped and sat down on the sand, letting the gentle breeze play with her hair. The girl pulled her knees up and put her arms around them, resting her head on top. She never realized how much she missed him till now. That spikey brown hair, tanned skin, saphire eyes that she would get lost in, and that goofy smile.
Sora
The boy she felt more then just friends with him, the bond seemed to go deeper then that. It had scared her at first when she noticed it, now she knew it was love. Something that caused her ache and pain, but a longing, for him to return.
Sighing she looked around the island, it had been restored after Sora beat Ansem, but with changes as well. Now they could travel to a city that was called Twilight Town, she was never in the mood to go to it, but today she was convinced.
A young boy with blonde hair ran up, smiling as he looked at the girl. "Common, Kai, we don't want to be late. Everyone else is waiting for you."
She slowly stood up brushing the sand off her shorts. "All right then, lets go Tidus." She muttered giving a small smile.
He nodded and the two began jogging down the beach towards the waiting boat. Kairi looked at the others as they were talking about nameless things as the boat made it's way to Twilight Town.
Sora stayed on his spot well past the sun setting, watching the stars shining brightly in the night sky. Saphire eyes then caught sight of a shooting star, quickly closing them, the boy made his wish.
I wish. I wish, that I could see Kairi again.
He then climbed back down and into his window, making sure the windows were latched and his door locked, Sora changed into his boxers and went to sleep, his thoughts from earlier still on his mind.
Well that's it for this chapter, I hoped you enjoyed it, please read and review!
