Author: Thanks a lot for the review Big!

Leon: -hit's the author over the head with his gun blade- Quiet, fool.

Albel: -Randomly appears and skewers Leon- That's my line maggot. By the way, this fool doesn't own Kingdom Hearts, Star Ocean, or any other characters that may show their face. –Randomly disappears-

The second mysterious figure scaled the wooden barricade with speed, making it look like a child's play toy. As his feet slammed into the dry ground on the other side, keyblade Oblivion flashed into his skilled hands. The heartless took little notice to him as he searched for some sign of where Sora could have been. Then, he found it. Headed towards one of the many deserted shops, was the original cloaked figure. The heartless cleared the way as it made its way through. "So, that's who's controlling them." He laughed. "This is almost too easy." He watched the figure for a moment, and followed after him, his keyblade flashing like lightning in the darkness as he tore through the heartless.

Sora staggered backwards, as the heartless made their relentless attacks. Suddenly, they all backed away. "Wha…?" Through the black mists left behind by the defeated, a cloaked figure emerged. "Who are you?!" Sora demanded. The figure only laughed. Behind Sora, Guardian floated silently, awaiting his queue. "Have you forgotten already? Did you really believe that I could succumb to someone as weak as yourself?! Well. I Guess I'll just have to prove you wrong." With that, the figure coldly laughed as an odd weapon appeared in his gloved hands. It had a thin, black blade that was outlined in blue, with a silver handle. Its tip was forked, like a viper's tongue. With one hand he expertly gripped it, and with the other he drew back his hood to reveal a scarred, but recognizable face. The same yellow, cat like eyes stared at Sora, waiting for his reaction. "You have no idea how long I've waited to be able to bring you to your knees, like you did me. Remember, darkness is stronger than some stupid light of yours." Sora brought his keyblade into a defensive position, "Your wrong Ansem, you can't defeat light. If you defeat me, there will always be someone to take my place. You cannot extinguish it. You're only fooling yourself." Hatred gleamed in Ansem's golden eyes, as he slashed wildly at Sora, only to have it blocked with each stroke. At least I'm driving him back, and when I spring the trap, we'll see if his "light" will save him. Ansem thought.

Thunder banged its way through the sky as rain clouds began to take place, blocking out the starry expanse. The figure glanced up, and sighed. "Hmm, I guess the weather report was wrong after all." He shook his head and went back to hacking away at the heartless that dared still stand in his way. Oblivion had yet proved its self useful once again. He ran the rest of the way, an urge, or maybe a precaution told him that if he didn't, he may be too late.

As Sora stumbled back into Guardian, it picked him up off the ground, leaving him open to attacks. "So Sora, where's your "light" now? Say goodbye, because it's the last thing you and your light will ever say!" Sora closed his eyes, awaiting the stroke to fall, but instead, he heard a low moan. Opening one eye, he saw Ansem slumped over, with a tall cloaked person standing over him. "Well, look's like your still the same pathetic Sora I remember. Always needing someone to come and rescue you. Kairi's braver." The figure laughed in relief. Ansem slowly gathered himself up off the floor, but got no further. He cringed as a keyblade flashed directly above his head. "So it looks like my plan was all for not. We WILL meet again, sooner than you think. Come Guardian!" With that the feeble two teleported off to some unknown region, probably to plot Sora's next downfall.

The cloaked figure removed his hood, "I had to wear this stupid disguise to get around. Didn't need Ansem knowing I was coming to crash his little party." Sora got up and dusted himself off, "Riku! Where have you been?? Couldn't you have shown up a little earlier?!" Riku shrugged, "Been around, and hi to you too."

Author: Well, that's chapter 1… Anyways, it may be a little odd from now on- as in, you get to choose which way you want the story to go in. There'll be two different chapters for each chapter, one humorous, one slightly more serious. Anyways, thanks for reading!

Albel: Quiet fool! –Disappears again-
