Kingdom Hearts owned by Disney/Square. No plans of bringing original characters here.

Among the three future versions of Sora, Kairi and Riku, they all agree with the fact that they are in the past before Kingdom Hearts began, and having seen the raft, assumed that there weren't many days left before the Heartless come and destroy Destiny Island. They also agreed, though Sora was reluctant to admit, that Sora's sealing of the Keyhole might have changed events.

As far as each of them initially remember, there was an overwhelming number of Heartless that night. The fact that the Heartless were like nothing seen on the island proved to Riku that there were not of Destiny Island, thus he was able to link his dark desires with the Heartless and leave the island. The Heartless go after hearts by instinct, but there are two things that also attract them: the heart of the worlds and the Keyblade. Because of the darkness from Riku and the mass of the Heartless, Sora was given the Keyblade supposedly for the purpose of sealing the world. However, the world was nevertheless consumed, and it seems as though the quick destruction of the world had aided in throwing Kairi's heart into Sora and bringing Sora to Transverse Town where he began his adventure. However, if a world is to be sealed, the Heartless cannot travel freely to that world nor could they destroy said world. And since Sora had just sealed the Keyhole of Destiny Island last night...

There would be less Heartless, the island would not be destroyed, and Sora could not leave the island to start his adventure. It is unknown what might happen to Kairi and Riku, seeing as Kairi was still a Princess of Heart of Riku had a bit of darkness in him. However, one thing was for sure: It's Sora's fault.

"Come on, guys." Whined Sora. "How was I suppose to know we were in the past?"

"True, you couldn't have known..." Figured Kairi. Sora was relieved. "So we'll have to reopen the Keyhole."

Sora was shocked. "Reopen the Keyhole? But the Heartless will come back-"

"...And destroy the island, as it had happened." Riku finished. "If we try to interfere with our history, we're going to be infected. For all we know, we might kill ourselves by helping ourselves."

Kairi was thinking for a bit. "Well, I still remember that I blacked out in the cave and woke up at Hollow Bastion...I guess we do have to unseal this world."

Sora looked at Kairi and Riku, hoping they would have a different solution, but he sighed instead. "Geez, this is like Disney Castle...Wait, Merlin!" Sora was energized then quickly went to a slump when he realized something. "But we don't have a Gummi Ship..."

"What are you talking about?" Riku wondered.

"Uh, I'll get to that later." Sora looked towards the beach where their counterparts were. "But until then, we shouldn't go before they leave."

"Wow, Sora, you're smarter than I thought." Riku ignored Sora's realization of the statement as he looked towards the beach as well. "I sorta wish I kept my Organization cloak..."

"Why did Riku have to leave again..." Sora whined. He whined not because Riku was gone but he was dragging a large canvas sail deep into the miniature jungle. He was relieved once he finally reached the "campsite", where the three were hiding for the day. Riku said he was going to forage for food and Kairi took out a sharp rock to cut the canvas. Sora propped himself against a tree, hoping to sleep the rest of the day off.

'What a day, is it, Sora?'

"Yeah," Sora thought absentmindedly. 'Defeating Organization XIII and getting sent back to the past is tiring.'

'True, though I kinda hoped we didn't get into more complicated matters after what we've been through.'

'Same here. You know, we might as well make this a vacation.' Silence, then Sora immediately jerked himself up, catching the attention of the girl who was extracting pieces of threat from the sail.

"Sora, what's wrong?" Kairi asked. Sora looked around, finally facing Kairi.

"I swore I just heard someone talking to me minutes ago!" Sora waved his arms up and down.

Kairi put her hand over her mouth as she laughed. "It's just like Namine."

"Who?" Sora remembered seeing that name when he woke up some time after defeating Xenahort's Heartless. There was something about that name that was familiar to him, but he couldn't put his finger on it. However, a light shone around Kairi, and in a flash, there were two Kairis...except the new one was a blonde with a simple white dress. Sora rubbed his eyes, and sure enough, his eyes did not trick him.

The new girl smiled. "You can come out now, Roxas."

Sora was about to say that he was not Roxas, but he was glowing as well. Once the light was gone, in front of Sora was Sora...no, this was Organization's Number XIII, also known as Roxas. Sora blinked for a bit.

Roxas turned to Namine, ignoring the confused boy. "I guess you were right about me not recognizing you when we meet again. I'm surprised you would be her other side."

Namine blushed a little. "I know! It must be why I felt so close to Kairi."

Kairi stood up and greeted Roxas. "So you're that voice who helped me find Sora. Roxas, was it? Thank you."

Roxas then turned to Sora, having a guess of what he would ask. After all, Sora's mouth was still going up and down without any words. "How did we leave your bodies?" Roxas looked back at Namine, as if expecting her to explain. "I suppose the best explanation we could give you is that we're figments of your imagination with mystical powers."

"Figments of our imagination..."

"Yep"

"With mystical powers..."

"That's right."

Namine spoke up. "Sorry, but we don't know either. All we could say is that your hearts made it possible for us to still exist in a sense. We don't have bodies now, but we'll try to help out the best we can."

"That's right." Roxas agreed. "You remember that bout back at the Nobodies' world, don't you? I was able to put up one heck of a fight with you, but your friends couldn't see me. I guess Nobodies and their others can see us."

"Then I suppose we have lots of catching up to do..."

Unaware of what Sora and Kairi were doing other than preparing for tonight, Riku picked some fruits that were hanging from the trees. These would have to do since there were any animals on the island itself and the kids were spread over the beaches. However, the reason he volunteered to gather the fruits was because there was one he was curious about, and he just so happen to know where it would be.

"You wanted one, didn't you?" Riku noticed this voice, and he was glad to have not stepped into plain view of the speaker. Up until now, he had not noticed that the sun was withdrawing behing the mass of water.

"A Paopu Fruit?" Now Riku remembered this certain scene. That means that they have the remainder of today and tomorrow before the storm was suppose to come. That information did not really change the fact that Sora had to unlock the Keyhole tonight, but then how would the future versions leave the island?

"If two people share one, their destinies become intertwined. They'll remain a part of each other's lives, no matter what." Was it really a smart choice back then? Riku never did offer the fruit to Kairi. He considered himself only a friend even though he liked her. However, he also noticed Sora's feelings towards her to the point where even their nobodies shared the same "feelings". Was the legend of the Paopu Fruit true? As childish as it may seem, his curiousity beckoned him to stay.

"C'mon, I know you wanna try it!" Boy, that really sounded wrong. Riku hid the urge to laugh at this one. But then, Riku wondered what would have happened if he had chosen to share the Paopu Fruit with Sora. Riku did not really have any affection towards boys, but maybe he and Sora would have worked together instead of against each other. Maybe he would have believed Sora's heart at the time and avoid fighting him to the point where he lost himself to Xenahort's darkness...

"What're you talkin'—" It was cut off by a laugh. Of course, even Riku knew he should not try to mess with young Sora's decision. After all, Sora did abandon the chance to stay with Kairi in order to search for him. At least Riku did not have to worry about the fruit on his account.

Now that young Riku left, the older Riku continued to observe. He could see Sora looking at the fruit in question that was in his hand. After few seconds of silence, Sora threw the fruit away, surprising Riku. A few minutes later, knowing that the all the kids would have left the island at this time, Riku popped out of his hiding place and walked towards the discarded fruit. Picking it up, he noted that there wasn't much bruises on it. Suddenly, he smirked. All this time, he had thought that Sora's protection of Kairi's heart and his leaving behind Kairi was due to the fruit's legend becoming true. But now that the fruit was here in his hands, it occured to Riku that Sora's bond with Kairi -and him- never needed a fruit in the first place. Pocketing the fruit, Riku headed back to the campsite as to not make the others suspicious.

Later, Riku found Sora and Kairi together. However, he was kind of hoping that Sora and Kairi took the risk of making out behind his back. Instead, he saw Sora dueling against the air and Kairi talking to a different air. Of course, he did get an explanation...

Finally, night came. By then, everyone other than the three were far from the island. The actual reason the three had waited this long before heading towards the beach was because all three of them were reluctant to let the island fall to darkness despite the importance of that part. Even Riku, who stood strongly with the fact that the Keyhole had to be unsealed, frowned upon the idea. Sora looked up at the stars, which were actually different worlds.

"Is it really okay to do this? Sacrificing our world to protect the others?" Sora thought aloud. Kairi wondered as well and Riku had to agree with them. Before anyone could speak a word, however, Sora noticed a falling star, only it wasn't a star.

"Get back!" The three kids withdrew to the forest just as the meteor came crashing down onto the the beach. As the smoke cleared, Sora, Kairi, and Riku peeked from behind the trees, making sure that the moonlight did not reveal them. The meteor that had fallen was actually a Gummi Ship, a bulky build with a red and black exterior. After the surprise of seeing a Gummi Ship here, the kids then noticed two things about the ship. However, the third surprise came when the cockpit opened up and a figure stepped out of it.

'What's he doing here?'
