Author's Note: Sorry for the short chapters…they'll get longer from now on…I'm getting closer to the main plots so… Here it goes…
It's been two weeks since the Gilanders attacked the town. When Sora was healed he began to train. He practiced all of his old moves like Ars Arcanum, Sonic, and Strike Raid. He also worked on his magic a little. He was beginning to feel like the old Sora again.
When Sora guessed he'd pretty much mastered his skills, he thought of new ones. One of them was Oblivion Night, which was used by spinning the keyblade and performing a series of dive slashes on the enemy. Another skill he came up with was Ultima End, which Sora figured would take his a long time to master since he hadn't been able to do it yet. Ultima End could only be used if he was using his Ultima Keyblade. This attack, Sora thought, would be his ultimate attack. Very few would ever see this skill…and even less would live to see through it. Ultima End consisted of a series of hack and slashes on the enemy. Then when it was stunned Sora would circle the enemy finding a weak point. When he found it he'd cast Firaga and jump back letting the fire scorch the enemy. When this was over he'd run and jump over the attacker and use Sonic Bash. And finally, Sora would run as hard as he could and jump into a spin in mid air, twisting the keyblade and thrusting it into the enemy's front. Eliminating it.
Sora trained hard for another month. He awoke to a knock on the door. "Sora, get up. It's Here!" Sora got up out of his bed and hurried to the door, still in his boxers. "What is it guys?" he asked. "We got the letter!" Donald and Goofy replied. "Sora stared hard at the letter in Donald's hand. "Alright! Let me see it!" He announced grinning. Donald handed him the letter. Sora opened it.
Dear Sora,
I know this letter's a little late…but…better late than never huh? Anyway I guess I have a lot of explaining to do. Sora, you were never meant to get the keyblade as I think you may already have known. Riku was supposed to wield the keyblade but he opened his heart to the darkness just before. You've done a very good job. I'm proud of you. By the way, I hear Traverse Town was attacked? A new heartless? Which is what Riku and I have been looking into. It seems these new heartless were released after you and I sealed that last keyhole in Kingdom Hearts. I also hear you gave up your keyblade ability for a while. I'm glad you've come to your senses. I don't think we could handle this without you. I see you all found that warphole between my castle and traverse town. That's probably the safest place for the people to be. You've got to train harder Sora. It might be easy for you to defeat a couple of those new heartless but…who knows what would happen if there was an army. Anyways, here's my plan. 2 months from now I want you, Donald, and Goofy, to meet me at Hollow Bastian. Cloud, Aeris, and Squall have been doing a nice job guarding the place from the heartless. Squall mentioned that they'd had a run in with some of the new heartless as well. When we meet, we have to go and find the source of the new heartless.. I'm not sure where yet but I'll know by then. Sora, train hard, we're about to face times that will only get worse. Just remember…you are the one who opened the door. Goodbye Sora, see you in 2 months.
Sincerely, Mickey
Sora folded the letter back into the envelope. He looked at Goofy and Donald hesitantly. "Well…we have 2 months…lets get to work…
Sora began his training that day. He trained hours at a time…at night and at day. Rain or shine. He was determined to reach all he could. One day, Sora was training on the outskirts of the island. He was running in the water to build up his speed. After he ran a while he stopped to rest and lay down on the sand, his keyblade laying beside him. "I wish that one of those heartless would come again…I'd like to try out some of my new skills…" Sora had been training very hard. Donald and Goofy had done their share as well, but not nearly as much as Sora…but Donald had learned some new magic, and Goofy had learned some new defense skills.
"Two more weeks Sora…keep it up…" he said aloud. He got up and waded back into the water to begin training once more…
At 8:00 the sun began to sink into the western sky. Sora watched as the sunset disappeared into the horizon. He wondered what was going to happen… "Man I sure do miss Destiny Island and everyone…I can't believe I wanted to leave…heh…look where it's gotten me…" Sora looked up into the sky…he saw faintly the stars beginning to appear. He also watched one disappear… "Not again…" He lifted up the keyblade, rested it on his shoulder and walked home.
