Kingdom Hearts: Return of the Heartless

Chap. 9 Kairi's Dream

"Why did the heartless all go away?" wondered Donald.

"Maybe they were worried that we would've destroyed them. I mean, we did defeat the dragon," Riku reminded.

"That's right…" Kairi stopped, "But, where do all of them disappear to?"

"Hmmm…" Goofy thought to himself for a moment.

"Probably to Maleficant," concluded Sora, "and-"

"What!?!" Kairi interrupted, "…She's alive?"

"I'm afraid so…I just wonder how she could have…come back to life…" he was puzzled.

"That is a hard question," Riku couldn't figure out why either.

Silence hovered in the air for a long time until Donald spoke.

"So, where to next?" while he was piloting he took out a map and pointed to worlds nearby.

Goofy looked at it, "We could go to Traverse Town and stock up on supplies."

"That's a good idea. We are low on potions and ethers," said Riku.

"Sounds good to me," Donald was about to push the warp speed button.

"Wait!" Sora stopped him, "Do you see what I see?"

"I've never seen that world before. I might have been right about the worlds that no one has explored…and this is most definitely one of them," spoke Kairi.

"We should go check it out," suggested Sora.

"NO!" exclaimed Donald.

"Why not?"

"It looks too dangerous. We shouldn't risk it."

"C'mon, Donald, let's not start this again!"

"Well…"

The gummi ship shook violently.

"What was that?" Sora looked out the window, "It's the heartless!"

"There are too many ships. What now? We're out of lasers!" Riku told them.

"Donald, do something!" shouted Goofy.

"What?!? We can't escape!"

They were hit with a crushing blow, and all of the electricity turned off.

"Great! No power!" Kairi cried.

The ship shook again and spun in circles. It hurtled toward the unknown world, everyone screaming all the way down…..

Kairi stood in a large room, greatly lit by a chandelier…

She couldn't budge an inch. Somebody was walking on the other side, and seemed to be looking for somebody…It was Sora; he was calling out Riku and Kairi's name. Then, two heartless came out of the floor and stood behind him. Sora turned around, and they knocked him to the ground.

All of a sudden, a dark figure blocked Kairi's view. She couldn't see what was happening. Someone…or something…chuckled. Kairi screamed.

She woke up, finding herself in a mountainous area covered with snow. Kairi shivered. The snow didn't stop falling.

Where is everyone?..."Sora! Riku! Goofy! Donald!" she had absolutely no idea where anybody was, or what world they had crashed on…she was alone…..

Author's note: Hope you enjoyed that chappie! I might be able to have the next one up soon, but I'm not sure because of Thanksgiving.
