"I don't get it... Why? Why did King Mickey want us to have the Keyblades back?" Sora thought out loud.
"Sora, stop denying it... You know very well why... What I liked to know is how this happened..." Riku said leaning against wall and staring at the Oblivion key chain, 'And why me? Sora's the Keyblade Master. Why should I have a Keyblade after all the pain I've caused...' Riku thought with his eyes closed now but was interrupted by him sensing someone was going to attack him
Riku took out the Oblivion Keyblade and blocked the attack. As he blocked he heard Sora scream out. Riku turned to Sora and saw that Kairi had tied him up with a whip. Riku raised and eyebrow and turned to see the person attacking him Amaya. Riku withdrew the Keyblade, looking for an explanation from Amaya.
"Heh heh... You blocked the attack Riku! I didn't think you'd see me coming!" Amaya exclaimed as she withdrew her weapon.
"I didn't... I could sense you coming..."
"Oh..." Amaya said as she turned towards the tied up Sora, "Maybe I should have attacked Sora instead... He wouldn't have sensed me coming... But then Kairi wouldn't have had any fun..."
"C'mon, Kairi! Lemme go!" Sora said trying to escape his bondages.
"Nope! You have to get out yourself Sora!" Kairi said giggling with every word.
Amaya laughed a little bit at the Keyblade Masters predicament and then she saw King Mickey. He was at the door to his throne room motioning her to come back in. Amaya obeyed and listen to what the King had to tell her. Riku had saw her out of the corner of his eye and was curious to why the King wanted to talk to her again. He shrugged and walked over to Sora and raised an eyebrow.
"Hey, Riku! Help me here!" Sora said trying to struggle out of the whip's tight grip but Riku just started to walk away, "Riku! Don't leave me! Help me out!"
Riku just waved his hand, "That's your problem Sora!"
Sora grimaced then turned to Kairi, "C'mon, Kairi... Your not gonna just leave me tied up, are you?"
Unfortunately for Sora, Kairi wasn't paying attention. She was looking around the room, "Where's Amaya?"
"She went to talk to King Mickey again... She'll be out soon I bet..." as Riku finished his sentence Amaya came out of the throne room hanging her head, looking down.
Kairi ran over to Amaya, "Amaya? You okay?" Kairi said trying to see Amaya's face.
Amaya lifted her head and head a fake smile on, " I'm fine... And Mickey gave me a warp gummi to install on my gummi ship, so let's go install it! He also said we should go to Traverse Town and talk to Merlin to get something..." Amaya said as she walked to the gummi ship.
/Thinking of you, wherever you are/
Amaya perked her head up at hearing the voice, 'Who is that?'
/We pray for our sorrows to end, and hope that our hearts will blend/
'It sounds so familiar...'
/Now I will step forward and realize this wish/
"Who are you!?"
/And who knows:/
"Amaya... Who are you talking to?" Riku asked putting a hand on her shoulder.
/Starting a new journey may not be so hard or maybe it has already begun.../
"Don't you hear that, Riku?" Kairi asked as Riku shook his head.
/There are many world, but they all share the same sky/
"I don't hear it either... What is it saying?" Sora asked.
/one sky, one destiny/
The voice started to fade but added one more thing that seemed to be directly to Kairi and Amaya. It didn't seem to be part of her message.
/Take care.... Young ones... Never lose sight of your goals... Sayonara.../
"That voice... It sounds so... So familiar..." Amaya said slowly as Kairi nodded in agreement.
"We should go... We'll probably figure out who that voice was on our journey..." Riku said starting towards the gummi ship.
They all followed but Sora was close to Kairi as if to ask her something, "Kairi, what did the voice say?"
"She said 'Thinking of you, wherever you are' and after that she said 'We pray for our sorrows to end, and hope that our hearts will blend'... Then it starts talking about a journey and maybe it's already begun... It doesn't make sense... Then the last thing the voice said was about many world but they share the same sky. One sky, one destiny... The voice faded and then returned saying 'Take care.... Young ones... Never lose sight of your goals... Sayonara...'" Kairi said as they walked into the gummi ship, "she said it like she knows me..."
"Wow... I wonder what it all means?" Sora thought out loud.
"I don't know but I have this bad felling it's not good..."
"I hope that your feelings are wrong Kairi..."
"Me too, Sora, me too..."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"But girl... Your feelings are right... You, your sister the Keyblade master, and the one who betrayed you shall my wrath anewed... I will let your own family destroy you! But first... I must gain myself back so my creations will desimate the worlds!" the shell of his former self said.
"We have come for you my liege!" said the man who had someone with him, "And brought my wife... She's a bit traumatized after what she was forced to say to our daughters..."
"You are the source of all Heartless..." the woman said to the dark one, "Why do you want them..."
"I need them to open the door to eternal darkness, you simple fool,"
"You'll never use my daughters the way you're using my husband, Ansem..." the woman said as she fell into unconciousness.
"My liege... Why does she say the way you're using me?" the hypnotized man asked.
"No reason... She's just delusional," Ansem said to the man, "Now... Find out where the other daughter is!"
"Yes, my liege!"
~*~*~*~*~*~
The gummi ship landed in Traverse Town after a few seconds using the warp gummi that was installed. The group's first stop was Merlin's house. When they entered Merlin's house it was empty.
"He must have left..." Sora said but after he finished his sentence, Merlin came through the door and opened his bag and all his furniture was back where it belonged.
"Oh sorry... King Mickey told me to bring her here," Merlin said pointing to the mini pumpkin coach that had began to change into the Fairy Godmother.
"Hello! Nice to see you all... King Mickey told me that I should do all I can to help and I have," the Fairy Godmother said taking out a huge book and a stone about the size of a fist, "This book is a guide book to all worlds. It explains the story of the world and the people you're most likely to meet... And this stone has hidden power that can be brought out by magic. Whom among you is most skilled at magic usage?"
"I am," Amaya said stepping forward.
"Ah... Then you shall be the one to unlock this stones mysteries..." Fairy Godmother continued, "You shall summon the great powers from these stones... And when you do, return here and show me what you have learned..."
Amaya nodded, "I will..."
"That is all I have for you but Merlin may have a gift as well... Goodbye!" she said waving as she disappeared and the pumpkin coach took her place.
The group turned to Merlin, "Yes I do have something that may be of some use..." he said giving Kairi the ability, "This ability is called Regen. It's like a cure spell but it gradually heals a party member... Make good use of it..."
Kairi nodded as the group began to leave, "Thank you, Merlin!"
"Where do we go now?" Amaya asked once outside of Merlin's house.
"We should go get items from the item shop and accessories from the accessory shop..." Riku said with his arms crossed in a calm voice.
"Alright! Let's go to the item and accessory shop then!" Amaya announced as she jumped from rock to rock to get to the door to the third district.
Sora was about to follow, "Sora! Can you help me jump across?" Kairi asked as Riku got to the other side of the water.
"Sure, Kairi," Sora said as he brought Kairi up on his back against Kairi's protests, "Hold on tight!"
"Sora!" Kairi screamed holding around Sora's neck while he quickly jumped to each rock and made it to the other side, "Let me down now, please, Sora..."
"Okay, Kairi..." Sora said as he let her down, "I didn't know that you'd be so scared... Sorry..."
"I wasn't scared..."
"Then why were you screaming, sis?" Amaya asked in a teasing tone.
"I...uh...um..." Kairi stuttered, "We should get going to the 1st district..." Kairi said while she walked through the door to the 3rd district.
Riku, Sora, and Amaya followed Kairi as she ran to the door to 1st district, "Let's take the short cut! It'll be faster then walking through the 2nd district."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
In the item shop they stocked up on items and in the accessory shop they bought many different types of expensive armors. They bought all this armor with Amaya's munny. Since she had been the queen of her world, she had a lot of munny.
"Wow! This armor is so cool! Thanks for buying it for us Amaya!" Sora said while he admired the Emblem buckler that he had gotten.
Riku was putting on his Tetra Bracer and Kairi was putting on her Curative Bangle, "Your welcome, Sora," Amaya answered as she put on her Dauntless targe.
As they were preparing to leave Traverse Town, they here gun shots from the 2nd district. They all ran to 2nd district to see Neo-Heartless attacking a man in red cloak. Riku and Sora took out they're Keyblades and the Neo- Heartless began to crowd around them. Kairi threw some smoke bombs that blinded the Neo-Heartless so she had time to sneak up on them with her whip.
Sora used Strike Raid on the Neo-Heartless while Riku used Ragnarok on them. Amaya was using Firaga spells with her scythes but she got surrounded and was starting to run low on magic power. She casted Aeroga to fend off the Neo-Heartless and then she attacked with her scythes. Kairi noticed that Amaya was surrounded but knew she wouldn't be able to get there in time.
"Amaya!!" Kairi yelled as she watched the Neo-Heartless overpower her.
'Damn... I'm out of magic power... And this Aeroga spell won't hold out long...' Amaya thought trying to fight off the Neo-Heartless.
As she fought them off the spell wore off but there were no more Heartless attacking her. She opened her eyes although she hadn't noticed she had closed them. When she opened them she saw the man in the red cloak had saved her and the rest of the Neo-Heartless were gone.
'This guy looks familiar...' Amaya thought and then it clicked in her head, "Vincent!" she exclaimed as she hugged him around the neck.
"Nice to see you too, little queen..." Vincent said a teasing tone.
Amaya pulled away from the hug, "I'm not little, Vincent!"
"Who's he, Amaya?" Kairi asked with Riku and Sora standing behind her wondering whom this strange man is.
"Oh! Kairi, Riku, Sora, this is Vincent! He came to Japaneho a few years back looking for some people from a group called AVALANCHE. He stayed at the palace for a while then he went on his way... So he's a friend!" Amaya explained and then turned to Vincent, "Did ever find anyone from AVALANCHE?"
"No," Vincent answered.
"Hey! You can come with us and maybe you'll find someone from your group!" Kairi exclaimed.
"Yeah! And you're a good fighter, you'll be of help with the Heartless!" Sora said happily.
"They're right, Vincent! You're better off traveling with us!" Amaya said as she noticed that Riku hadn't said anything, "Riku? What do you think? You've been quiet this whole time..."
"I have nothing to say..." Riku said as he turned to the Hotel in that district, "It's late... We should get some rooms and rest up."
"He's right," Vincent as he followed Riku into the hotel then the rest followed as well.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"You only have 4 rooms!?" Amaya yelled at the hotel manager, "What kind of hotel is this?"
"Sorry, but we only have 4 rooms... Two of you will just have to share or you can sleep outside with those strange creatures..." the hotel manager said.
"Alright... We'll take all 4 rooms..." Amaya said paying the manager the munny for the rooms and then turned to the others, 'Who's gonna share rooms? Who could... Wait... I'll share with Vincent... I need to talk about what King Mickey told me to someone and might as well be him anyway...' Amaya thought, "I'll share with Vincent and the rest of you guys can have your own room..."
Kairi and Sora didn't object but Riku seemed a little resistant but he finally went into room 3. Vincent and Amaya went into room 4 and there were luckily two single beds. Amaya sighed with relief and sat on the bed. Vincent followed and sat on the other bed.
"What do you want to talk about, Amaya?" Vincent asked as he lied down on the bed.
"How did you know?"
"You wouldn't have wanted to share a room unless you wanted to talk... Now, what is it?"
"Well... I told you about King Mickey, right?" he nodded, "Well he told me about this prophecy..."
~Flashback~
"Amaya... There is something I have to tell you..." King Mickey said after he had brought her into the throne room, "There is a prophecy... It's about the darkness and the light..."
"What is it?" Amaya asked.
"It begins like this..."
The key...
The key to our survival
The true keybearer turned to darkness
When the key chose another, the four worlds connected
They were never to be connected
The worlds connecting caused much chaos
Creating them
Nobody...
The non-existent ones
Mere shells
HE is one of them
The source of all Heartless
HE has returned
HE is seeking more now
Seeking the power of the pure souls
To take back himself
And...
Gain the power of darkness
Three...
Three maidens have the pure souls HE seeks
The chosen and the true key bearer are the key
They will receive help along their new journey
From old companions and new
Their destiny is set
But there are two outcomes...
Close the door to the world of darkness for Eternity...
Or
The darkness overcomes the light and the doors to the three other worlds are forever connected to darkness...
"What does it mean? And who is HE?"
"I don't know but this prophecy has two outcomes and the second one cannot happen without disastrous results... You must make sure the darkness doesn't taint anyone's hearts... Especially Riku..."
"Why Riku?" Amaya asked curiously.
"There's a reason... It's not my place to tell you... You'll find out in time... Now go before the others see you're gone... And take this warp gummi for your ship... Your first stop should be at Merlin's house in Traverse Town... He has something to help with your journey..."
~Flashback Ends~
"And that's what happened... I still don't fully understand the prophecy or about Riku..." Amaya shook her head furiously, "Ugh! This makes no sense!!"
"Calm down... It'll make sense in time..." Vincent said putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Time!? We might not have the luxury of time! We have to figure it out now!"
"If that's what you think... Then tell the others this prophecy"
"It might just complicate things..." Amaya said with a sigh as Vincent shook his head then lied down on his bed.
"I'm going to bed... Goodnight..." Vincent said then added, "Little queen..."
Amaya threw her pillow at him but it missed, "You..." Amaya then noticed he was asleep then she sighed, 'Whole lot of help he was! I'm getting out of this room... I don't think I can stand him for another second!'
Amaya left the room to find Riku with his eyes closed, leaning on the wall between room 3 and 4. When he noticed her present he opened his eyes.
"What are you doing out here?" Amaya asked, expecting everyone to be asleep.
"I could ask you the same question," Riku answered, as he stood upright.
"I asked you first, Riku,"
"I heard your conversation with Vincent..." Riku said answering her question.
"You eavesdropped!" Amaya said fuming.
"I didn't... The walls are thin... I heard the conversation from the bed... I only heard the prophecy... The rest was too quiet..."
Amaya nodded, "Did you understand any of the prophecy?"
Riku turned away from Amaya, "Yeah..." Riku muttered as he walked into his room but Amaya followed.
"What part?" Amaya persisted.
"The true keybearer turned to darkness..." Riku answered in a whisper.
Amaya raised an eyebrow, "Isn't Sora the true key bearer?"
"No..." Riku said slowly, "I am..."
Amaya's eye widened, "What happened?"
"I don't want to talk about it..." Riku said turning away from Amaya and striding towards the bed.
Amaya ran in front of him and sat on the bed blocking his way, "I'm not going to move until you tell me"
Riku rolled his eyes and jumped over Amaya and lied down on the other side of the bed, "Go ahead... But I'm going to sleep..." Riku said turning away from Amaya.
Amaya crossed her arms still sitting on the bed, "You can go to sleep but I'm not moving!" Amaya said with a little yawn.
After a half an hour Amaya lied down and started to drift asleep. Riku was still awake waiting for Amaya to leave but she didn't. Then he heard a soft snore. He turned to see Amaya had fallen asleep on top of the bed. Riku tucked her in under the covers and turned away from Amaya and drifted into a semi peaceful slumber.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Riku's P.O.V.
The sunlight came in through the balcony window and woke me up from the best sleep I've had in a long time. I didn't even know that there was sunlight here in Traverse Town. Every time I had come here it was night.
I'm interrupted from my thoughts by something warm snuggling into my shirt. I looked down to see Amaya snuggling into my chest. I feel a slight blush creep up onto my face. Why am I blushing? As soon as I think about it I head a small moan as she started to stir.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Amaya's P.O.V.
I begin to wake up from my dreamless sleep but I feel so warm and comfortable. I snuggle into whatever this warm presence is. Mmm... Whatever it has the faint smell of cologne... Cologne!? Guys wear cologne... At that moment I open my eyes and see that I've been snuggling into Riku's chest. My eyes widen as I see that Riku was looking at me. I jumped out of the bed and landed on the floor with a thump.
"I'm sorry! I should have left instead of persisting last night..." I said but Riku held his hand up signaling me to be quiet.
Riku got out the bed and silently walked over to the door. He opened it causing Kairi and Sora to fall to the ground.

/Thinking of you, wherever you are/
Amaya perked her head up at hearing the voice, 'Who is that?'
/We pray for our sorrows to end, and hope that our hearts will blend/
'It sounds so familiar...'
/Now I will step forward and realize this wish/
"Who are you!?"
/And who knows:/
"Amaya... Who are you talking to?" Riku asked putting a hand on her shoulder.
/Starting a new journey may not be so hard or maybe it has already begun.../
"Don't you hear that, Riku?" Kairi asked as Riku shook his head.
/There are many world, but they all share the same sky/
"I don't hear it either... What is it saying?" Sora asked.
/one sky, one destiny/
The voice started to fade but added one more thing that seemed to be directly to Kairi and Amaya. It didn't seem to be part of her message.

"I need them to open the door to eternal darkness, you simple fool,"

As she fought them off the spell wore off but there were no more Heartless attacking her. She opened her eyes although she hadn't noticed she had closed them. When she opened them she saw the man in the red cloak had saved her and the rest of the Neo-Heartless were gone.
'This guy looks familiar...' Amaya thought and then it clicked in her head, "Vincent!" she exclaimed as she hugged him around the neck.
"Nice to see you too, little queen..." Vincent said a teasing tone.
Amaya pulled away from the hug, "I'm not little, Vincent!"
"Who's he, Amaya?" Kairi asked with Riku and Sora standing behind her wondering whom this strange man is.
"Oh! Kairi, Riku, Sora, this is Vincent! He came to Japaneho a few years back looking for some people from a group called AVALANCHE. He stayed at the palace for a while then he went on his way... So he's a friend!" Amaya explained and then turned to Vincent, "Did ever find anyone from AVALANCHE?"
"No," Vincent answered.
"Hey! You can come with us and maybe you'll find someone from your group!" Kairi exclaimed.
"Yeah! And you're a good fighter, you'll be of help with the Heartless!" Sora said happily.
"They're right, Vincent! You're better off traveling with us!" Amaya said as she noticed that Riku hadn't said anything, "Riku? What do you think? You've been quiet this whole time..."
"I have nothing to say..." Riku said as he turned to the Hotel in that district, "It's late... We should get some rooms and rest up."
"He's right," Vincent as he followed Riku into the hotel then the rest followed as well.
~*~*~*~*~*~
"You only have 4 rooms!?" Amaya yelled at the hotel manager, "What kind of hotel is this?"
"Sorry, but we only have 4 rooms... Two of you will just have to share or you can sleep outside with those strange creatures..." the hotel manager said.
"Alright... We'll take all 4 rooms..." Amaya said paying the manager the munny for the rooms and then turned to the others, 'Who's gonna share rooms? Who could... Wait... I'll share with Vincent... I need to talk about what King Mickey told me to someone and might as well be him anyway...' Amaya thought, "I'll share with Vincent and the rest of you guys can have your own room..."
Kairi and Sora didn't object but Riku seemed a little resistant but he finally went into room 3. Vincent and Amaya went into room 4 and there were luckily two single beds. Amaya sighed with relief and sat on the bed. Vincent followed and sat on the other bed.
"What do you want to talk about, Amaya?" Vincent asked as he lied down on the bed.
"How did you know?"
"You wouldn't have wanted to share a room unless you wanted to talk... Now, what is it?"
"Well... I told you about King Mickey, right?" he nodded, "Well he told me about this prophecy..."
~Flashback~
"Amaya... There is something I have to tell you..." King Mickey said after he had brought her into the throne room, "There is a prophecy... It's about the darkness and the light..."
"What is it?" Amaya asked.
"It begins like this..."
The key...
The key to our survival
The true keybearer turned to darkness
When the key chose another, the four worlds connected
They were never to be connected
The worlds connecting caused much chaos
Creating them
Nobody...
The non-existent ones
Mere shells
HE is one of them
The source of all Heartless
HE has returned
HE is seeking more now
Seeking the power of the pure souls
To take back himself
And...
Gain the power of darkness
Three...
Three maidens have the pure souls HE seeks
The chosen and the true key bearer are the key
They will receive help along their new journey
From old companions and new
Their destiny is set
But there are two outcomes...
Close the door to the world of darkness for Eternity...
Or
The darkness overcomes the light and the doors to the three other worlds are forever connected to darkness...
"What does it mean? And who is HE?"
"I don't know but this prophecy has two outcomes and the second one cannot happen without disastrous results... You must make sure the darkness doesn't taint anyone's hearts... Especially Riku..."
"Why Riku?" Amaya asked curiously.
"There's a reason... It's not my place to tell you... You'll find out in time... Now go before the others see you're gone... And take this warp gummi for your ship... Your first stop should be at Merlin's house in Traverse Town... He has something to help with your journey..."
~Flashback Ends~
"And that's what happened... I still don't fully understand the prophecy or about Riku..." Amaya shook her head furiously, "Ugh! This makes no sense!!"
"Calm down... It'll make sense in time..." Vincent said putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Time!? We might not have the luxury of time! We have to figure it out now!"
"If that's what you think... Then tell the others this prophecy"
"It might just complicate things..." Amaya said with a sigh as Vincent shook his head then lied down on his bed.
"I'm going to bed... Goodnight..." Vincent said then added, "Little queen..."
Amaya threw her pillow at him but it missed, "You..." Amaya then noticed he was asleep then she sighed, 'Whole lot of help he was! I'm getting out of this room... I don't think I can stand him for another second!'
Amaya left the room to find Riku with his eyes closed, leaning on the wall between room 3 and 4. When he noticed her present he opened his eyes.
"What are you doing out here?" Amaya asked, expecting everyone to be asleep.
"I could ask you the same question," Riku answered, as he stood upright.
"I asked you first, Riku,"
"I heard your conversation with Vincent..." Riku said answering her question.
"You eavesdropped!" Amaya said fuming.
"I didn't... The walls are thin... I heard the conversation from the bed... I only heard the prophecy... The rest was too quiet..."
Amaya nodded, "Did you understand any of the prophecy?"
Riku turned away from Amaya, "Yeah..." Riku muttered as he walked into his room but Amaya followed.
"What part?" Amaya persisted.
"The true keybearer turned to darkness..." Riku answered in a whisper.
Amaya raised an eyebrow, "Isn't Sora the true key bearer?"
"No..." Riku said slowly, "I am..."
Amaya's eye widened, "What happened?"
"I don't want to talk about it..." Riku said turning away from Amaya and striding towards the bed.
Amaya ran in front of him and sat on the bed blocking his way, "I'm not going to move until you tell me"
Riku rolled his eyes and jumped over Amaya and lied down on the other side of the bed, "Go ahead... But I'm going to sleep..." Riku said turning away from Amaya.
Amaya crossed her arms still sitting on the bed, "You can go to sleep but I'm not moving!" Amaya said with a little yawn.
After a half an hour Amaya lied down and started to drift asleep. Riku was still awake waiting for Amaya to leave but she didn't. Then he heard a soft snore. He turned to see Amaya had fallen asleep on top of the bed. Riku tucked her in under the covers and turned away from Amaya and drifted into a semi peaceful slumber.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Riku's P.O.V.
The sunlight came in through the balcony window and woke me up from the best sleep I've had in a long time. I didn't even know that there was sunlight here in Traverse Town. Every time I had come here it was night.
I'm interrupted from my thoughts by something warm snuggling into my shirt. I looked down to see Amaya snuggling into my chest. I feel a slight blush creep up onto my face. Why am I blushing? As soon as I think about it I head a small moan as she started to stir.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Amaya's P.O.V.
I begin to wake up from my dreamless sleep but I feel so warm and comfortable. I snuggle into whatever this warm presence is. Mmm... Whatever it has the faint smell of cologne... Cologne!? Guys wear cologne... At that moment I open my eyes and see that I've been snuggling into Riku's chest. My eyes widen as I see that Riku was looking at me. I jumped out of the bed and landed on the floor with a thump.
"I'm sorry! I should have left instead of persisting last night..." I said but Riku held his hand up signaling me to be quiet.
Riku got out the bed and silently walked over to the door. He opened it causing Kairi and Sora to fall to the ground.
