Hey guys! This is my first Kingdom Hearts FanFiction, and I really hope to live up to (or at least come close to living up to) the legacy of such an awesome game. Once I get started I'll try to explain pretty much everything I can think of, but if I miss anything, please ask and I'll do my best to add it in. Also,
I'm trying to think of some different worlds to visit. The ones I have thought of so far are as follows -
-Hogwarts Castle
-Middle Earth
-Finding Nemo
-Beauty and the Beast's Castle
-Toy Story
If you can think of any others, let me know, and if you have any comments on the ideas I have, let me know about that too. I appreciate any and all input, and I hope to make a really good, exciting, and fun fic.
The Infinity Key

Chapter 1 : Dark Side of the Mind
Sora drew his blade and squared off against the opponent he knew was there, but who he could not see. The keyblade glinted in the low light of the captain's cabin as Sora moved into his fighting stance.
He trained his ears to listen for any movement, but could hear nothing.
Just then, his opponent struck from behind. Sora had just enough time to whip his keyblade around to deflect his opponents sword. He turned around and got his first look at the heartless that was his opponent - he was fighting against himself. He was looking at an exact copy of himself, keyblade and all. OK... this is just a little weird, he thought.
He thrust the keyblade forward, but his shadow pulled his own shadow blade upwards, blocking easily. Sora spun his blade around, but his shadow, sensing his move, dodged easily. The shadow seemed to almost dance around Sora's blade, dodging every attempt at an attack that he made, almost taunting him. Or at least he would have been, had he not been a faceless shadow. Sora slashed again, but his foe blocked the attack with ease, knocking the keyblade to the side and delivering a solid blow to the side of Sora's head with the blunt part of the shadow blade.
"Fira!" Sora called out, shooting a fireball at his opponent, which hit its mark, driving into the shadow's chest. The shadow, barely even flinching from the direct hit, suddenly bolted forward and drove his shadow keyblade into Sora's shoulder. He screamed in pain, and collapsed to his knees. He looked around to see where Donald and Goofy had gone, but couldn't find them anywhere. I guess I'll have to fight my shadow copy alone, he thought. This wound on my shoulder doesn't leave me with too many options. I'll only get one shot at this...
"ARS ARCANUM!!!" Sora shouted, gathering energy. His keyblade was bathed in a green light, and he shot forward, striking his shadow self with all his might. But the keyblade went straight through the shadow's chest, and Sora followed it through, a wave of cold washing over him as he went into the Shadow's body. The shadow floated into the air, and plummeted down again, piercing Sora's chest cavity with the the shadow keyblade, and...
Sora awoke with a start. It had been almost a month since the end of his journey, but he kept having dreams. Dreams about being taken over by the shadows, defeated by his evil clone, losing Riku, losing Kairi. None of his dreams had ended hapily. Not a single one.
For the past month, Sora had been staying at the King's castle, where he had been welcomed so hospitably by Queen Minnie and her court, due largely to the efforts of Donald and Goofy. He had been keeping an ear out, as had they all, for any news of the other worlds, in particular any news of King Mickey or Riku. However, as of yet there had been no news, considering the fact that the worlds were all sealed and separated from each-other again. Sora let out a deep sigh at the thought. How can I help Riku, King Mickey, and Kairi, if I cant even leave this world!?
"SOOOORAAAA!!" came a call from a person who was unmistakably Donald. "ITS TIME TO GO INTO TOOOWNNNN!!" Sora groaned and sat up. He had forgotten that every week since he had arrived he had gone into town to help with some of the household chores (or castlehold chores, as it were), and that he had promised to go this morning.
"I'll be right there!" he called back half-heartedly. He stood up and got dressed in his usual suit of red and yellow, grabbing his key-chain as he locked his room and walked out. "What do we need today?" he asked Donald, yawning.
"Daisy says that we need to get ready for a royal banquet, since it is Queen Minnie's birthday tonight,
so we need lots and lots of food and drinks and decorations and presents!" he responded in that unmistakable, bone chilling voice of his. (I don't mind Donald, but I HATE that voice!!!!!)
Sora groaned again. He had totally forgotten about the queen's birthday! I guess I'll just have to put my dream off to the side for now and get ready for a royal banquet, he thought. "So will Goofy be coming with us?" he asked Donald.
"Yes he will," Donald replied. "He is meeting us at the castle gates, because he needs to go to an important meeting first."
"What meeting?" Sora asked, suddenly paying rapt attention, the news sending a jolt of adrenaline through his body.
"Oops - I mean, um, a meeting about - I mean - not really a meeting exactly - but"
"Donald, whats going on?" Sora demanded from his feathered friend. "Have we heard something about the King and Riku!?"
"Well you see... Oh fine, lets go to the meeting!" Donald finally agreed after seeing the look in Sora's eyes, a mix of hurt and anger, which was not a good combination.
So they walked down a few corridors leading away from the main gate to the meeting room where Sora had spent so much time his first week in the castle. Sora pushed open the door and managed to catch the words "If that IS true, then maybe," before everyone got quiet upon seeing his face. Daisy glared at Donald, who mouthed the reply "He made me do it!" before Sora spoke. "Whats going on?" he demanded. "How come you left me out of the meeting!?"
Queen Minnie looked around at the other members of the council who had been assembled - herself,
Daisy, and Goofy. (If you can think of anyone else who should be on the royal council, please let me know, I want to make this as good as possible!) "I suppose we should inform him then," she said. Then she turned to Sora. "Sora, this is news that we didn't tell you because we didn't want to give you any false hope, and we still do not have conclusive evidence. However-" she paused for a moment to gather her thoughts. "However, we have recently been finding small amounts of an unknown type of Gummi block floating around, and Chip and Dale have identified it as belonging to the people of the world Atlantica, which you visited in your travels. Therefore, we believe - and let me remind you that we have no proof - but we believe that there may still be a gate between worlds open somewhere, and we were just discussing ways that we might be able to find it."
Sora looked around at everyone in disbelief. "Where did you find these gummi pieces?" he asked finally.
"We found them in the throne room," Daisy responded.
"Do any of you know where this world's keyhole is?" he asked.
Queen Minnie's eyes widened in astonishment. "In the throne room! Why didn't I think of that!? Of course!!" Then she looked around at everyone. "Well, what are you waiting for? We have to go to the throne room immediately!!"
