Kingdom Hearts

Ties of the Heart

Chapter 4

"Before we start fighting, Sora, I would like to show you something." Axle said, looking up at Sora. "I am going to show you the future. This is what will happen if you lose." He said, smirking as the whole island's time stopped. The people froze, as the sky and the ground around him changed.

The image of a dying world appeared around him. Bodies lay on the dried ground, decaying in the hot, exploding sun. The man spoke, and Sora recognized his first words. "Take a look at this tiny place. Stripped of any innocence that it struggled to keep. This mere island prison only awaits the inevitable. A mere pebble a windstorm is all this island is. All the other worlds will be destroyed, and we will rule everything. All of your loved ones, dead, you, and everyone else." The Unknown said, smiling all the while. Sora hung his head low as he saw Kairi dead in a pile of rocks. On her finger was her wedding wing. It still shined brightly, against all the darkness, just like her heart. He watched the ground as the sun finally exploded, leaving the world in complete darkness. "This is where we will fight. You think you can handle it?" Axle said, hidden within the thick darkness. The only thing that let Sora know he was there was his flaming weapon.

Sora gritted his teeth, looking all around him. He stepped back as Axle charged toward him, and stumbled on a large rock and fell. Axle sliced his shirt, leaving signs of blood coming down. Sora winced and got up, and swiped his Keyblade between the two weapons. He had hit nothing. He gasped as many fire wheels appeared around him, and flew toward him, slicing his skin. Sora yelled as blood poured out of his back He fell to his knees as he man appeared with an evil grin on his face, laughing at the bloody boy. Sora, still trying to catch his breath, struggled to get back up since his body was so weak. Axle executed that same attack, knocking Sora unconscious.

Many thoughts ran through Sora's mind, most of them memories of Kairi. He remembered when she first washed up on the island, when she first saw him in the beach. He remembered when he first left, and when they were pulled apart when Kingdom Hearts was sealed. When he returned, when he kissed her for the first time. He slowly opened his eyes, having all his strength regained. It was still in darkness, but he could see clearly. He smiled. "Thank you Kairi..." he said, and charged toward Axle. Axle was caught of guard, as he thought Sora was still unconscious. He was hit hard in the back, blood leaking down his jet-black jacket. He growled at him and threw his weapon at Sora. But, to no avail, Sora hit it back at him, making the blade slit a large gash in his forehead. Blood ran down his face, as he fell to the floor, and tried his ultimate attack. Fire shot up from the ground, filling Sora's body through his wounds. Sora stood still in the flames, as his hart began to glow. He absorbed the fire with his Keyblade, and walked out of the flames. He shot a large fire spell at Axle, burning his body completely, as everything went back to normal. He fell to the ground, as time began to move again. Kairi gasped as she saw the exhausted body of Sora on the sand. She carried him to the house and laid him on the bed. She bandaged his wounds, and Sora began to wake up. "Sora!" Kairi said, with a worried look on her face. "I won..." he said, and sat up. "What do ya mean?" Goofy said. Sora looked at him. "I fought Axle in this different world. You were dead, and the sun exploded, an every thing was in darkness. I won the fight." He said, explaining. "I think he's only the first of the army." Donald looked surprised. "Well then, let's go!" he said, pointing to the shore. "Okay!" Sora said, and kissed Kairi goodbye. "I'll be back as soon as I can. We're gonna have our wedding! Okay?" he said, smiling. "Okay you big goof" she said giggling and waving good-bye as Sora left. "Be safe," she said, and shed a tear.
