Chapter One: Come Together
'Remember, you are the one who will open the door'
Sora heard that voice enter his head yet again. He was surrounded by heartless, while on a platform showcasing a princess of some kind.
'Why do I always hear those weird voices?' Sora thought to himself, as he swung his blade which he had obtained earlier in this "dream". And of course, he gave up the shield in return, as Sora was more on the offensive.
"Only two more to go!" Sora spoke, while breathing heavily. He didn't even mind questioning whether this was a dream or not. Finally, only one more remained, as the one he just destroyed exploded into bits and pieces of munny, as well as things that would help his health.
'You've done well, Keyblade Master, and now-gack! What're you doing?'
"Hmm?" Sora asked as he heard a fight break out into his own mind.
'I am in control here! Let the Keyblade Master continue on his- gack! Stop that already!'
Sora didn't even realize the platform clatter as he started falling into nothingess, until his very legs banged across a new platform. Miraculously, he wasn't even a tad hurt.
'Oh come on now! We've already been kicked out of that other Lion guy's head! He kept talking about how he wanted to serve this Ultimecia woman when he grew up, and…'
Sora grabbed his head soon after. "So many voices…." A box appeared in front of him suddenly, so fast that it made Sora jump in fear.
'And let's see. That other guy we couldn't even stand. He kept telling us about how lucky he was to have two woman and a large sword that he…'
Sora tried to ignore the voices still, and broke the box by hitting it with his sword a few times. He then glanced a door that he just noticed because of a magical, click-like sound.
"I don't know what this is, but I want to get out now!" he ran towards the door, until the platform shattered into pieces again.
'That stupid monkey guy only had those perverted thoughts about a princess he called Dagger. Maybe he was watching a mix of Romeo and Juliet and Lord of the Rings!'
Sora landed on a bunch of shining stairs, and looked behind him to see nothing but a void. Shrugging, he started running across the stairs, trying to get something else to grab his attention while his mind kept playing games with him.
'I don't care! This boy is mine! He will not be corrupted, so-gack! STOP DOING THAT!'
Sora heard a bunch of maniacal laughter flooding his mind. "What now!" he yelled aloud, as if wanted to have an explanation.
'Hahaha! You have been too much of a nuisance… now, you die!' Sora knocked his head with his sword, thinking it may stop all this chatter inside his mind. After shaking his head a little, he felt as though the thoughts were gone, as he gave out a sigh of relief, and continued on his way.
"Finally, now I can get this over with… If it even is a dream, or not" Sora spoke. Then, as one…
Rubedo: Albedo! Why did you do a thing like that!
"What?" Sora spoke in shoke.
Albedo: -laughs maniacally- What choice did I have? Last I checked, the next video game we'd be sent to would be FFX-2, if not here!
"Not again…"
chaos: Actually, I'd like that….
"WILL YOU GUYS SHUT UP, WHO EVER YOU ARE!" Sora yelled at the top of his lungs, while looking up. After that, he went into an explosion of coughs, and was glad when he felt no more things flooding his mind. Sora then arrived at the final platform, and noticed his shadow forming darker and darker on the ground.
"Hmm?" he let out in curiosity. As he walked more and more into the center of the platform, his shadow started getting bigger and bigger, until it came up, and looked down at Sora, forming into another kind of creature.
"What is that?" Sora asked, to nothing apparently, as he hushed all his thoughts.
Rubedo: A giant monster, obviously!
"Grr…." Sora fist shook with anger.
Chaos: Great, now you got him mad…
"WILL YOU GUYS JUST SCR-" The monster grabbed Sora before he could finish his sentence, and squeezed him tight with all his might, making Sora release the blade from his grasp, as it clattered when it hit the floor.
Albedo: Oh now what are you going to do? –laughs maniacally-
Chaos: This isn't the time Albedo! Maybe one of us should help him?
Trowa-sits and stares and sits and stares and sits and stares- I knew we should've tried out Xenogears instead…
"Oh god, whoever you guys are do something!" Sora yelled out, catching their attention yet again.
Albedo: Alright then, this'll seem fun…
"AAAAH!" Sora yelled as he felt like something was pulling him, his soul, straight into his mind. One large gasp, and Albedo had taken over.
Sora: Wha? What's going on? Was I dreaming?
Sora examined his surroundings. A nice cozy room, three sofas, a table with some cocao on it, a tv with channels being flicked, and a few picture frames, as well as a small kitchen near the back.
Sora: Wait… this is Kairi's house!
Chaos: Not Likely…
Sora finally felt a large damper on his heart, as if a black hole was created there.
Sora: Huh, what's going on!
Rubedo turned away from the tv, and was under a blanket. He lightly scratched his head, then replied.
Rubedo: Well, Albedo just took over. He's over there beating the crap out of Darkside…
Rubedo pointed to a glass window where you could see some hair falling down, as well as a large dark blob being whacked repeatedly.
Sora: What happened!
Rubedo-shrug- You mean why we're here?
Chaos: Now, now Rubedo. He's new to this, he's bound to be confused. See, we're supposed to come in as guides in adventures, although, they've all been treating us quite rudely in the newer video games. He came over here, and we haven't been kicked out yet!
Sora: But why am I stuck inside this place?
Rubedo: We take turns controlling the body…
Rubedo casually said that as he turned back to the television screen, while the groans coming from Darkside's mouth where heard as a background. It was around that time that Sora looked at his own body.
Sora: WHHHHAAAAATTTT?
"Will you keep it down in there? Or should I take you all down as well?" Albedo yelled from the body. His voice could be heard like a speaker system.
Sora looked at his body in amazement…
Sora: I look… chibified…
It's around then when he looked at the others. Although, he never had met them before, and he had thought they looked totally regular, he forgot to contemplate their height. Chaos' silver hair gently fell down over his face, but he blew it back to the sides. Rubedo had sparkling red hair, but most of it was covered from the blanket he was wearing. Trowa was probably the tallest of them all, a large bang going across his face, although his hair looked quite neat. He was sitting beside Rubedo, his fist glued to his face, while staring blankly at the television screen.
Sora: So… when can I go back into my body?
Chaos laughed as Sora said that, and it just put a smile across his face seeing such a kind one.
Chaos: We'll have to change. See, we all, including you now, are too weak to with hold a body for too long, so we take turns. It's only a matter of time before Albedo tires down, and gives into his mind, and when that time comes, we'll let you control your body again. It is hard getting used to is around, isn't it?
Sora just nodded politely back, and picked up the extra mug of hot cocoa on the table, and started lightly sipping.
Chaos: Just remember, you'll need our help…
"WOOOAAAAH!" Sora yelled loudly as someone shook him, waking him up. He looked straight into the eyes of Kairi, and lightly blushed.
"Finally Sora, it took you long enough!" Kairi said, as she "hmphed", and stood up straight. Sora rubbed his head.
"I had the freakiest dream! These four guys came into my head, and I became small and they were pretty cute and stuff, but yeah, it was creepy, and it felt so real-"
Kairi grabbed Sora's hand, forcing him to come with her, and said "Not now Sora. We have to work on the raft!" Sora sighed with relief as he looked at her hand.
'At least I know that it was only a dream…' Sora smiled happily.
Chaos: Not Likely!
