Chapter 5: The 2nd Meeting

"Ready for your next adventure Sora?" Lauri asked turning to him as they walked inside the house.

"Huh?" Sora asked entering into the house. "Another adventure?" Sora was a bit confused with what Lauri had just asked him. Adventure? he thought to himself not another one. I just got back home. Sora looked at everyone standing or sitting down. He recognized everyone, but two. The two he didn't know were Lauri and Mecan, but he had already figured out that they were friends and not foes.

"Sora," Riku said. Sora turned towards him. "Remember when you locked Kingdom Hearts and those other worlds?"

"Yea. What about it?" Sora asked, a little confused with the whole thing.

"Well, Kingdom Hearts was opened…again," Luk said. "Though the weirdest thing is that it opened by someone or something inside of Kingdom Hearts."

"No one opened it from the outside." Mecan said, finishing Luk's point.

"What are you guys talking about?" Sora said, now completely confused about what was going on. He looked from one person to the other hoping that one of them would tell him exactly what was going on.

"We're saying," Lauri explained, "that Kingdom Hearts has been re-opened, but we don't know who or how."

"To add to the fun," Mecan said, "The worlds you've been to and other worlds have been unlocked. And it's your job to lock 'em up, Keyblade Master."

"This time," Lauri added, "The lock up will be for good."

"But how?" Sora asked still confused, "All my keyblade seems to do is temporarily lock up the heart of each world."

"That's where your new keyblade comes in," Kairi said, finally speaking up. She took out the wrapped package and unwrapped it, showing a large key with odd designs on it.

"My keyblade?" Sora said studying the keyblade after Kairi handed it to him. "It looks…different."

"Of course it does," Mecan said in a tired voice, "because this one will make sure that the keyhole's can never be unlocked again."

"So how come it didn't come to me when I needed it?" Sora asked, curiously.

Mecan smirked and said, "That's because it was in Kairi's hands and she's a Princess of Heart, as you know, and has some magical enchantment added to her to give her the ability to hold onto your keyblade and the like."

"Okay," Sora said sounding like he finally understood what was going on. "So, all I have to do is lock up all the worlds and then lock up Kingdom Hearts, right?" Thinking about the last two times in which the last part of his adventure involved a trip to Kingdom Hearts.

"Normally, that would be the case," Lauri said in reply. "But now Kingdom Hearts will be your first stop, but you'll be going back later on. Your first trip to Kingdom Hearts won't be locking it up though. You'll be going there to see if you can figure out who opened it. Also, no Donald and Goofy to get your back."

"But how will I get to Kingdom Hearts. I usually got teleported there," Sora asked again remembering Ansem transporting him there the first time.

"I'll be taking you this time," Lauri said.

"And who are you?" Sora said, not realizing that he said it in a kind of mean tone.

"I'm Lauri. This," she added pointing Mecan, "is Mecan. We'll be helping you out for some of the adventure."

"Okay," Sora said and looked around at his other friends. "So…When do we start?"

Okay. Short chapter? Yes. Will there be longer ones to come? Yes. Was this a good chapter? Well, I don't know. What did you think? Please reveiw and tell me what you thought.
