I first decided to write this while I was playing Dark Cloud & listening to the song "Simple and Clean" from Kingdom Hearts. My sister was watching me play as Toan & said "it would be cool if Sora & him teamed up.", or something like that, & I instantly fell in love with the idea of combining my two favorite video-games. The first chapter (as you will see) is a song-fic for the techno version of "Simple and Clean". I'm not sure if it's any good though, I only thought of doing the chapter like this after I had written it & I simply put the lyrics in wherever they fit. Please tell me what you think!

Sora looked out the window on his side of the Gummi-ship, all the stars & planets seemed so far away as they twinkled against the blackness of space. He looked around at his fellow passengers in the Gummi-ship's cockpit, smiling at the sight of his friends. Donald, who was flying the ship as usual, Goofy, who was reading a joke book, Riku, who was simply looking out the window as Sora was before, & Kairi… she had fallen asleep awhile ago & was resting peacefully in her seat. Sora was so happy that all his friends were here with him, he couldn't imagine that anything bad could happen to him now. But he was wrong.

You're giving me too many things

Lately you're all I need

You smiled at me and said,

Meanwhile, on a not-so-distant world, six heroes were trying to defeat a giant monster. This monster, which looked like a purple & black chimera, had been sent by an evil entity to capture a rare item which was currently in the hands of one of the heroes.

Toan was his name, & the rare object he protected was known only as the Atlammilia. He used a large sword to fight off the beast, but the strength of the enchanted blade alone would not have kept him alive for long. But luckily for him, he had plenty of allies who could help him.

Don't get me wrong I love you

But does that mean I have to meet your father?

When we are older you'll understand

What I meant when I said "No,

I don't think life is quite that simple"

Xiao shot at the chimera from behind with her talking slingshot Steve. Ruby unleashed a powerful magic attack against the beast. Osmond used a powerful machine gun to shoot the monster as he hovered in the air. Ungaga & Goro attacked the monster's back legs with their staff & hammer. But no matter how hard any of them tried, nothing could affect this creature.

The monster roared & stood on its hind legs, revealing a strange emblem on its chest. Ruby looked at this mark & thought she recognized it. It was a black heart-shaped mark with a blue outline & a red X in the center.

Ruby suddenly remembered where she had seen it before & was about to warn Toan, when a bright flash of light appeared out of nowhere, blinding Toan & seemingly absorbing everything in sight. The last thing Toan remembered before blacking out was seeing his friends sealed in five different orbs which flew off in different directions.

When you walk away

You don't hear me say please

Oh baby, don't go

Simple and clean is the way that you're making me feel tonight

It's hard to let it go

It was at about this very moment when the Gummi-ship's sensors went crazy & Donald shouted for everybody to abandon ship. But by the time they had realized what was happening, the ship was swallowed by a giant flash of light which came from a tiny world with two moons.

Sora tried to get to Kairi but could not reach her before she was sealed away in an orb-like object & was instantly transported to some obscure part of the world below.

Hold me

Whatever lies beyond this morning

Is a little later on

Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all

Nothing's like before

Sora looked around to find that the same thing had happened to the rest of his friends, just before he was suddenly hit by some kind of energy blast & was thrown out of the Gummi-ship. He looked around but found that, instead of falling, he was floating!

He floated in front of a large keyhole & knew right away that all this must have been happening because of the Heartless. He was about to use the Key-blade to seal the Keyhole, when it, like his friends, was swallowed by a red & green orb & disappeared.

Hold me

Whatever lies beyond this morning

Is a little later on

Regardless of warnings the future doesn't scare me at all

Nothing's like before

Sora felt another bolt of energy & blacked out, exhausted from the frightening experience.
