He then brutally proceeded in dragging them out of their cell and down a
long dark hall. As they stumbled down the corridors Sora realised where
they were,
'These Shadow creatures just DO NOT have any imagination' Sora said with a
bored tone as they where dragged through the Library of Hollow Bastion, the
deserted castle world that the Heartless had founded as their base three
years earlier,
'But I wonder why Oathkeeper won't come to its master?' Sora said as he
once again tried to summon his Key,
'It won't work' The Heartless said,' There is too much evil in this place
for the Keyblade to even venture here'
Sora gave a depressed moan,
'If you must, you can play hero with this!'
Sora suddenly found that his childhood weapon was in his hands, an old
wooden sword. Riku noticed he had one too,
'Hahaha!' The Heartless laughed and dragged them deeper into the castle
Until finally they came to a halt in front of a huge Heart-shaped portal
with rainbowish colours glowing inside,
'Huh? The Dark Depths?' Sora asked when he saw it,
'But why?'
'No silly boy, Not just the Dark Depths- A portal to other worlds, A Portal
to Runeshine!
'Runeshine?'
'Come let us go through!' The Heartless dragged them in and the three found
those colours Sora had seen from outside the portal surrounded them,
'Runeshine, Runeshine, Take us to Runeshin...!' The Heartless began to chant,
but he was stopped by a yell as Goofy ran through the portal and attacked
him!
'Ahh!' The Heartless cried and exploded into purple mist,
'Goofy!' Sora cried, as his bonds were broken,
'Sora!'
'Sora!' Donald cried and leapt in too,
'What are you guys doing here?'
'We came to rescue you!' Goofy grinned,
'Hello Riku!' Donald said with resentment in his voice. Riku gave an
acknowledging nod,
'Donald'
'How are you guys anyway?' Sora asked,' Where's Kairi?'
The two's faces dropped and Goofy spoke,
'Sora she's gone'
Sora and Riku gasped,
'The Nephilim, or whatever you called them took her!'
'But... I thought she was with Daisy?'
Donald gave a pitiful moan and wiped his eyes,
'Uh... Daisy's dead' Goofy whispered,
'What! How?'
'Turns out the Nephilim like Duck. Donald was lucky to escape!'
'Oh Donald I'm sorry' Sora said trying to comfort him,
'I...I'll see her soon' Donald quacked,
'After all there's no chance of standing up against these creatures'
'Don't talk like that! As long as all four of us are around we can defeat
any evil to come our way!' Sora roared, his sword against his chest,
'Sora...' Goofy began,' These Nephilim, they've taken over the universe.
Everyone is his slave! The King of the Nephilim himself abides in Ansem' s
old house in Traverse town!'
'What! No!' Sora yelled,
'We never even stood a chance' Donald said,' these fiends control a newer
smarter, stronger breed of Heartless! Like the one who was talking to you!'
'Well I'm not giving up!' Sora said regaining his courage,' First things
first, we must rescue Kairi! She's a princess of Heart, and that probably
means trouble! Donald, Goofy, Do you know where she's being held?'
'Of course! In Ansem' s mansion!' Goofy said,
'Then we go there!'
'Next stop, Traverse Town!' Riku said and smiled.
