Chapter 1- The Path of Darkness

Sora, Riku and Kairi had been travelling along the dark road for days now, and they were beginning to feel the effects. They decided to rest at a conveniently located campfire.

"So, how long do you think we'll be on this road"

"I think... another 5 days. How about you, Riku"

"Another hour at best. Haven't you noticed that the darkness is starting to brighten? It's almost completely white now"

"Uh… Riku? It's still dark."

"To you, but I can sense the light nearby."

"That ability of yours really comes in handy."

"Thanks, Kairi."

Suddenly an Organization member teleported in front of them!

"Greetings, Number 4. I have returned with news from King Mickey."

"Who are you"

"Why, I'm Rexus."

"But you were killed by Axel, were you not"

"No. He simply imprisoned me under the Rebel headquarters, in a dungeon. Fortunately, I was able to escape and find King Mickey."

"That's good to hear! Now, what news do you bring"

"King Mickey, Donald and Goofy are closing in on Ansem."

Kairi and Sora excaimed,

"Ansem"

"Yes, Ansem. He survived the light of Kingdom Hearts, but was badly hurt in the process, so he is covered in red bandages."

"So I assume King Mickey intends to dispose of Ansem"

"Of course. Well, I must leave now. Good luck with your mission"

Rexus teleported, leaving the three lifelong companions alone once again.

"So how do we get to Luminon, Riku"

"We must keep walking along this path of shadow until we reach a large gate. That is the entrance to the capital city of our true home."

"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go"

Meanwhile, in Twilight Town, Mickey, Donald and Goofy were closing in on Ansem.

"He must be around here somewhere."

"How right you are, your majesty"'

Ansem stepped out from behind a large stone column.

"You know that we must stop you."

"Of course, but I cannot allow you to interfere with my search for the darkness. Goodbye."

Ansem teleported, leaving behind a small Shadow.

"We can stop that easy enough"

Donald ran towards the Shadow, but before he could hit it, it mutated, growing into a towering behemoth, the Supreme Shadow!

"This could be a problem."
