Foreboding
Thunder cracked the night sky, the black storming abyss bleed countless downfalls of rain and cold showers. A dark creaky wooden door was kicked open but a mysterious strange as he entered a dark room. Black gloved fingers yanked the dangling silver chain of a light; a dim glow filled the crusty old room. The man went to a door marked "closet" in poorly written red marker; he knocked twice then waited a minute before knocking again.
The closet door suddenly lifted up and revealed an armored steel order; the dark cloaked man punched black gloved fingers into a password device. The door eventually opened as the man entered and tossed off his cloak. Bright red flashed out of that dreary drab coat, a red pirate like cloak suit adorned the man's firm figure. Black belt like lines stretched all over the outfit, black as his aging black hair. Blue tinted glasses hid his silvery colored eyes.
The stranger in red also wore black boots, like his black gloved fingers. Yet his right arm was in a sling made out of his red coat, as if his arm was broken. The red zipper piece of the coat seemed to block the man's mouth from sight. Green flashes of light emerged from a large computer screen before him; a woman appeared grinning a Cheshire cat like grin. The woman had spiky pink hair made up like a spiky hedgehog, she had green eyes.
Very soft skinned cheeks and a well small rounded face, the woman also sported a dark lab coat like wardrobe. The poking sides of it were black and her cuffs were puke green, as were her leg nylons tipped with small black shoes. The center shirt of the woman's outfit was white, almost like this seemingly young girl was a scientist. "Greetings Auron, long time no see" the woman said, "It's good to see you too Washuu, been busy I suppose?".
"HA, ha as only the most brilliant galactic genius can be but enough about cute me, how have you been?" the giggling Washuu asked. "Dead actually" Auron replied with a sly grin. "Ah I forgot, you always were the serious type, never able to stop playing the drama queen eh Auron?" Washuu said. The dark haired Auron simply frowned and sat down in a chair before the screen, as quick witted as she may be Washuu knew this was serious stuff.
"Business always comes first especially when it's of the apocalyptic nature, I met him Washuu" Auron said. Immediately the pink haired scientist gasped, she shoved her face at the screen shouting "YOU WHAT?". "That's right old silver hairs himself" Auron said, "Where, where was this?" Washuu demanded as Auron just as quickly replied "The Dead Plug bar". It seems both mysterious beings were well aware of Riku and his dark quest.
"I was hoping you could give me some answers as I know you always have them, so far all I've gathered are bits and pieces of this puzzle" Auron said. Washuu grinned and eagerly answered "You got it old buddy, just let me bring up the files on that little lone wolf of yours not to mention the other one". Rapid typing fingers pounded into the computer's keyboards, green data files filled with countless amounts of text scrolled up before Auron.
Two of the files emerged with facial images of both Sora and Riku. A smirk escaped Washuu's lips, "And here we are 2 genuine super duper keyblade masters. They originate from Destiny Island which to me is no surprise. That little beach ball has always been a hot spot for transdimensional transportation. After that young girl , Kairi made it there from Hollow Bastian it was only a matter of time before they found some way to escape.
Hmm..according to the council's galactic file over these, this Sora kid seems to be the numero uno keyblade master out of the 2. Seems there's a lot of destiny for this kid to follow, future hero in training so to speak. Heh, sounds like another Tenchi to me". Auron raised his eyebrow curiously and Washuu simply replied "Long story, anyway back to the WOO MOMMA". "What, what is it tell me Washuu?" Auron pleaded, seeing the shock in her.
The words kept piling over and over Washuu's eyes, and the speechless of her shock just kept hitting her harder and harder. "This is impossible, it's unbelievable, I just discovered what's in store for Sora and Riku, and it's BAD, very, VERY bad" Washuu squeaked. Angrily Auron typed into the computer and forced the screen to flash around to his eyes, he gasped. The horrors that would unfold were right there in his shivering little pupils.
"Sora, Riku, no..NO they don't deserve that Washuu we have to go help them right now" Auron said as he bolted towards the door. "NO WAIT, Auron, there isn't anything we can do, this is completely out of our hands. The powers that be clearly have foreseen this future and no matter what we do, nothing will change this outcome" Washuu said. But Auron growled and faced Washuu with anger, "But we must try or else Solego and his men".
Pink hair strands shake as Washuu closed her emerald eyes and grimly shook her head at Auron's words. "What?" Auron asked baffled, Washuu sighed "That's what you don't understand. This file doesn't mention him being the threat at all, at this current time Sora is indeed still fighting Solego and his Order of Lost Souls. But the danger that the files speak of have nothing to do with Solego or his troops, it's something far more powerful.
Something so evil and dark that it's beyond even my technological capacity to truly discover what it means". Toiling his troublesome thoughts over and over Auron paced the floor, black boots clicking as his glasses fogged with fear. "Then..then at least tell me what the signs are, what we must look out for?" Auron asked. Washuu replied "According to the database of the higher powers, Riku and Sora must NOT make it to the King's Royal Castle.
No matter what it takes we must make sure those 2 do NOT make it anywhere near King Mickey's castle or the results will be apocalyptic". Grimly Auron nodded and ended the communication transmission, Washuu and her screen vanished as Auron turned towards the exit. But not before removing a small cell phone like device from his coat pocket, Auron dialed it & waited for a ring. "Hello operator..get me the Hyper Police" he said.
Meanwhile at Destiny Island..
The beautiful ocean waves crashed on the sandy beach like thundering claps of lighting in a black sky, the sky itself couldn't be bluer. Beautiful chirps of birds and animals cheered all around on another lovely day at Destiny Island. "Okay here it comes" shouted Wakka as he flexed his blue gloved fingers in the air, tossing the ball high and smacking it down with great power. The young blonde haired Tidus leapt to strike the ball but missed.
"Ugh yeah real fair Wakka, how about actually letting us get good at the game before you womp on us again?" Tidus said sputtering sand. Black sandaled feet flex as Tidus wiggled his toes to regain his stance, giving a defiant and enthusiastic blue eyed stare to the red haired Wakka. The long haired ball bouncer laughed "I think you'll be better at this then me one day Tidus. Besides having a partner helps", Tidus blinked and turned around.
Realizing that his partner was in fact missing, he noticed the yellow sundress of the lovely Sophie blowing in the wind as she stepped towards the ocean. Brown hair formed beautiful curls around young Sophie's face as she smiled listening to the waves; "It's so romantic awe I could stay here all" she started. But was unable to finish as something sad and lonely caught her eye. Not too far from here was the small sad image of the beautiful girl, Kairi.
Tidus approached Sophie with a sigh, "She hasn't been the same since..he left. It's been almost a year and she hasn't changed a day since, since" "Since Sora disappeared" Sophie finished. Both of them hanged their head in lonely sorrow, deeply missing their lost friends. Sora and Riku were always the ones that brought such happiness to Kairi's heart. Ever since the sky turned black and the Heartless invaded the island, things have been off.
Things have been different, bad, even depressing. The young blue eyes of Kairi stared out at the ocean lifelessly like a statue, forever frozen in time. Short strands of reddish brown hair move elegantly in the wind, yet nothing but cruel coldness filled her heart. Skin was smooth and soft as a peach, pinkish even with a lovely scent that would drive any man mad with love. Her white blouse and light purple skirt had droplets of water upon them.
Kairi didn't even flinch as waves washed over her slender bare legs, standing there with her white shoes that failed to cover her gentle ankles. If not for her blinking and occasional closing of eyes in sorrow, one might think that Kairi is dead. But that's just how she felt inside, dead. The girl could stare out into the abyss for years and years on end and not care. No animal, storm, or force of nature could make her think of anything else.
Nothing but of Sora. "Oh Kairi honey, please you can't keep doing this to yourself" Sophie said so worriedly, rubbing her fingers over Kairi's neck. This pained Sophie so much to see her friend like this, "You can't go on like this all you're doing is destroying yourself more and more each day". Nothing but silence answered Sophie; it seemed that dead, empty, silence was the only voice Kairi would ever speak again. Sophie hanged her head.
"He promised me" Kairi said, Sophie gasped and looked at her friend with shock. It had been so long since that sweet voice had been heard, so long had Sophie waited for her friend to come back from the cold land of the dead she seemed to be in. "He promised me he'll find me..he promised me" Kairi said, unable to stop choking back the tears. The girl's voice becoming a sobbing memorial to the boy she loved more then anything else at all.
The boy she wanted to go away with, the boy that meant so much to her heart he had become apart of it. Kairi cried her eyes out, screaming at the sky. Oh god how it hurts, how it burns, how she wants his arms around her again just one more time, Kairi wept into Sophie's arms and cried harder. Nightfall finally came and for once the world seemed to echo Kairi's heart. Everyone was already fast asleep, as the midnight hour steadily approached.
Bare feet slap soft gentle skinned flesh across the wooden floorboards of her room, Kairi was careful not to awaken anyone. Her blue eyes looked up at the black night sky, seeing so much beauty and yet feeling no warmth inside. The girl's heartbroken mind yearned for the touch of the lover she feared would never return, so she headed to the ocean. The big blue world that stretched on forever, the same world she wanted to explore with Sora.
Sure, she liked Riku, but Sora; oh she had never experienced warmth like that by anyone else but him. "How can everything so beautiful seem so empty without you?" Kairi asked softly, looking up at the form of a star shaped fruit. "Paopou fruit" she said, a flood of emotions and heart aching tears washed over her once more. That legendary fruit she tried with Sora, the same one that bonded 2 lovers destiny's together into a journey of love.
Crying tears and eyes made Kairi just want to crawl into the black watery ocean and die; she dropped to her soft knees as they splashed in the cold water. "God..oh god I hope your listening to me up there" Kairi wept softly, "I know you have a lot of people ask you of things like this. But I don't want anything grand, I don't want money or a fancy house, I don't want riches or anything of that. I just want to be whole again, I want him.
Please (sob) if you lived on this Earth once then you know how wonderful love can be. How it can make a person feel so alive, more alive then they ever could have dreamed of being (sob harder). I want him back so, so bad. I want to hear him laugh, I want to rub that brown hair, I want to stare into those gorgeous eyes and NEVER stop". Fingers grip their smooth skinned digits, Kairi cried harder as blood was being drawn from her gripped hand.
The red droplets leaked into the ocean and turned dark red, Kairi just cried harder as she dug her nails deeper. The girl cried out to the world "PLEASE, I don't give a shit about destiny, chosen warriors, or any of that stuff. Why the hell do they need HIM? Why of all the people in this GOD DAMNED WORLD WHY HIM? Why can't someone else do it? Just let Sora go, let him come home; let him come back so I can stop this horrible pain.
I'd do anything to have him back so please..please god..bring Sora home..bring back the one I love to his home, to his friends, to me" the girl finally stopped her words of sorrow. Tilting her tear soaked eyes to the ground and staring at the rippling reflections of blood and water around her blurry face. It felt so good to finally open her heart, from its cold storage. Kairi stared at the sky and listened to the music, just listening to it forever.
******
I'm so tired of being here,
Suppressed by all my childish fears,
and if you have to leave,
I wish that you would just leave,
Cause your presence still lingers here,
and it won't leave me alone,
These wounds won't seem to heal,
This pain is just too real,
There's just too much that time cannot erase,
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears,
When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears,
and I held your hand through all of these years,
But you still. have. all of me,
You used to captivate me,
by your resonating light,
now I'm bound by the life you left behind,
Your face it haunts,
my once pleasant dreams,
your voice it chased away,
all the sanity in me,
These wounds won't seem to heal,
this pain is just too real,
there's just too much that time cannot erase,
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears,
when you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears,
and I held your hand through all of these years,
but you still. have. all of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone,
but though you're still with me,
I've been alone all along,
When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears,
when you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears,
and I held your hand through all of these years,
but you still. have. all of me oh..., me oh..., me oh...

Finally as the words of lost love ended, Kairi stood up, shaking from the coldness of loneliness that surrounded her trembling legs and shaking eyes. The water began to ripple and shake, odd vibrations in the water seemed to make it split apart, leading down to something. Curiously Kairi followed the path seeing a bright white energy light that seemed to grow brighter and larger. Kairi gasped, she bravely entered the light and replied aloud "Sora?".
