(First of all I do not own the rights of Sora, Riku, Kairi, and all Kingdom Hearts/Final Fantasy characters. The plot played here isn't the same played at the Kingdom Hearts games until now released. But I do own the rights of the original characters that appear here and not on the games.)

Thirteen months have passed. Sora's been numb lately, while playing around with Pluto or staring at the sky. The thing he most wanted to do in that moment was be with Kairi. It's been a long, loooong time since they last spoke.

At this moment, a ball smashed Sora's head.

"Ouch! Who the f..." he gets up and looks around. There was nobody. "Pluto?" he calls.

The sky gets dark. A familiar cloaked man appears behind Sora and startles him by touching his shoulder.

"W-who the hell are you?"

"...Don't... try... to... understand... just... walk your way... to... the... ... ...door...".

Sora's mind beigns to get hazy and twisted. When Sora opened his eyes, he could not se anything. Gradually his eyes were getting used to the lightning of the place he was. Then he felt he was sitting in a soft place... it was... sand...? Then he realized he was in a beach.

"I... know this place..." he really did. He was at Destiny Islands again.

He got up quickly and looked around, excited. Only one person was on his mind at that moment: Kairi.

Sora rushed to the residential island, looking for her but it was empty. There was no sign of people there. The place was deserted.

He went to his house looking for his mom and it was empty too. What the hell could have happened?

"'Couldn't it be the guy in the cloak' you may be thinking" someone said behind him.

"YOU!" Sora yelled, facing the cloaked guy again.

"I will make things easier for you. Ansem is back. Somehow not alone."

"He's the one who made everyone here disappear?"

"Not only here, but in every single world out there." the cloaked man sit on a chair. "You still got the keyblade?"

Sora searched for it.

"It's gone! The keyblade is gone!"

"Alright, calm down. Come with me, first we got to find your key and then we'll look for Ansem."

"You said he isn't alone... how do you know that?"

"I've seen things... come on, let's go."

At this point Sora realized this guy in a cloak wasn't the same he met previously. This one was 'lighter', calmer and nicer. Maybe because of the fact that he actually told Sora something.

When Sora got out of his house, the cloaked man was waiting next to a crappy gummi ship, and beside it was Mickey Mouse.

"King Mickey...?" Sora yelled, recognizing the long-eared fella.

"There's no time, Sora. Jump in, we'll tell you everything on the way."

"Oh, ok..." Sora said, "Weren't you locked in Kingdom Hearts?"

Mickey didn't answer. When everybody was on board, the cloaked man took off the ship. When they were already in space, he took off his hood. Sora got surprised he was actually Riku!

"Riku!" Sora screamed.

"Calm down, you. Yes, it's me."

"So how did you guys get away of that place?"

"It was tricky, if you wanna know." Mickey said. "It involved a nasty sense of localization and perception."

"Or the ability of finding a good hide spot and being saved by the guys." Riku completed.

"Guys? What guys?"

"All of them use these black robes. It's their trademark, used to identify them."

"I..." Sora wanted to mention the cloaked guy he met previously but he prefered to let this subject die. Now he wanted to see what he could do for the disappeared people.

"Our plan, King Mickey?" Riku asked.

"Let's rush to Disney Castle. I could use some squires."

"You mean Goofy and Donald?" Sora asked.

This question was answered by a nodding. Mickey seemed tired.

"Then we'll look for his keyblade, right?" Riku asked Mickey.

"Yes, that's right." then he opened his eyes "If there are four keyblades, we must bear at least two of them."

"Wh...what? Four keyblades? Bear two of them? Hey, I got only one keyblade!" Sora said.

Mickey quickly handed his keyblade. It had the exact same colors as Sora's but... they were inverted.

"Oh, yeah, I saw you using this to lock the door..." Sora remembered. "But what about these other two?"

"Oblivion and Oathkeeper. You don't have them, do you?"

"I had them... but I lost their keychains!"

"You're a hell of a disorganized guy, huh?" Riku said, then laughed.

"Humph..." Sora laid down "It's so unfair. How can that stupid cloaked guy simply teleport and steal my keyblade and keychains?"

"...Stupid... what?" Riku said. He was odd.

"Yeah... there was this... cloaked guy who appeared when I was running in Disney Castle's garden. He teleported me back to Destiny Islands. And apparently took my keyblade."

"Did you see his face?" Riku asked, then.

"No"

"It was Hirosh!" Mickey said, suddenly.

"Hirosh?" Sora asked.

"He's our Judas. He betrayed us, that's who Ansem brought along."

After this talk, they didn't say anything else. The ship arrived at Disney Castle and Mickey went in to find his squires. Then Riku decides to tell Sora what happened to Kairi.

"What, isn't she gone just like everyone else?"

"She's a princess of heart, you forgot about that? She's gone but not to where everybody else is."

"Ansem's castle... Hollow Bastion..."

"Bingo. But first we got to get your keyblade back."

"...And get this Hishori guy!"

"Hirosh." Riku corrected.

Mickey arrived at that moment followed by his fellow squires Goofy and Donald.

"Hey-ya! I thought you had turned into dust!" Goofy said, when saw Sora.

"Don't be a moron, you big palooka. The worse that could have happened was we finding Sora dead!" Donald said, angry.

"Calm down you two. We got a important mission. We must find Sora's keyblade! And other two keychains, Oathkeeper and Oblivion." Mickey instructed "We could use some of Leon's help."

"I think we should rush to Hollow Bastion. The keyblade has to be there." Riku suggested.

"Ok, ok, Sora, what do you want to do?" Mickey asked Sora, then.

"Uh, well... Let's go find Leon!"

"You sure? Cuz we don't know where he is."

"He must be at Traverse Town. He's been rebuilding some parts of it, before Ansem took over Hollow Bastion again." Goofy informed.

"So this is it. We're off to Traverse Town."

The group boarded the ship. So, the brotherhood was formed, and was waiting for Leon, a new member. Sora just didn't know that... they wouldn't reach Traverse Town easily.

They've been travelling for two hours, when Mickey woke up from a unworried sleep and asked Riku how much did it take to finally reach Traverse Town.

"Well, if you want my opinion, we all should be having tea with Leon by now. I don't know why it's taking so long. We're at a nice speed, 800 meters per hour."

"Uhh, Goofy, Donald, have you brought Jiminy with you?"

"Well, it depends on what you mean." Goofy then handed Mickey something that looked like a walkie-talkie.

"Why, hello! Testing! Jiminy!" Goofy said to the device.

"Hey, hey, what the hell do you want I was sleeping you know!!" a little voice sounded. It was Jiminy Cricket!

"Why aren't you here?" Mickey asked.

"I'm... uh... dealing with some business here. You see, after that journey with Sora, all the info I gathered had to be filed, you know, backup'ed." Jiminy was saying "I'm sorry but I'm filled with work!"

"So that bug prefers filing instead of helping us with this engine that runs at 800 meters per hour but seems to be running at 1 meter per hour?" Riku said, angry.

"Jiminy doesn't know much about gummi engines, y'know. Chip and Dale are the ones for the job." Goofy informed.

"But they aren't here you big palooka!" Donald said.

"Hmmm, but they are at the castle, with Jiminy. Mickey, ask Jiminy to call them!" Sora said.

"Ok, ok. Hey, Jiminy! Jiminy Cricket!"

...

"What? I told you guys I'm busy."

"Yes, yes, we know. Can you call Chip and Dale for us?"

"And who are those?"

Everyone looked at themselves puzzled.

"Uh... they work in the castle." Mickey said. "The same castle as yours."

"Huh. Where, exactly?"

"Don't you have an info about them, you buggy bugger?!"

"I haven't reached their info yet. I'm still thinking of why I can't rotate Minnie."

"You... what?" Mickey said, scared.

"Uh, nothing, nothing. I'm just in the beginning, I haven't reached their info yet."

"So REACH IT!" everyone said, then.

Some minutes after it, the little voices of Chip and Dale reached the ship. Mickey asked for instructions and everything seemed to be working fine.

"What to do, now, that everything 'is working fine'?" Riku said, impatient.

Sora looked trough the window and saw they were really close to a crazy-looking world.

"Hey, guys! Look!" Sora said.

At this moment, heartlesses magically appear in front of them. Yes, heartlesses, like the ones Sora used to defeat.
