Kingdome Come 3
A few worlds later, Sora and Sid reappeared. Sora doubled over, breathing in shallow breathes.
"It takes some getting used to, traveling between worlds without the use of a Gummi ship." Sid said. Sora breathing soon returned to normal and he stood.
"Where are we?" He asked.
"You don't recognize this place?" Sid said. Sora looked around, now noticing that he was in a circular garden. Even more so, it seemed that the garden was in an open air area. Surrounding the garden were what looked like castle walls. Before Sora could say where he was, he heard a familiar voice.
"Sora!" Donald said as he ran and jumped on to Sora, knocking him over.
"Donald, get off." Sora said, though happy to see his friend. "Are King Mickey and Goofy here?"
"The king is busy, but Goofy is coming. How did you get here?"
"Sora!" Goofy said as he ran and jumped onto Sora as Donald did. After he got off of him Sora explained why they came, and even how they got here.
"Because these two have helped you so much in the past, I thought it would be more useful to bring them along than to bring Kairi and Riku." Sid said. "Now, if you all are ready, we should leave. The longer we wait, the longer we give our enemies time to wreak more chaos."
"Where are we going now?" Sora said.
"Another familiar world. My contacts there are waiting for me. I visited them right before I came to you, to allow them to explain things. Grab on to be once more, and hold on." Sora grabbed onto Sid again, and Goofy and Donald did likewise. Then they disappeared.

Another few moments later, they reappeared in a dark underground area. Sora and the others looked around, when they realized where they were.
"This is the Underworld." Sora said to Sid. "Why are we here?"
"This is one of the few worlds that even the Legion will not touch. They know that they are no match for a world ruled by real gods." Sid explained. "Besides, the ones we must meet are here. Follow me."
They began walking behind Sid. This was the Underworld, but they had never been in this part of it before. Hopefully, Hades will not give them any trouble this time. Or at least, Sora hoped so.
"Hades will not be a problem." Sid said, as if reading Sora's mind. "Even with his hot temper, I have explained everything that is already happening, and though he was not happy in the least with the decision, he decided to not destroy you." Sid led them down, deeper into the Underworld. They eventually came to a large circular room, with a circular table in the middle. They approached the table and then stopped.
"We are here." Sid called out to the emptiness. Nothing responded for a moment, then someone answered. It was a female voice.
"Good, we've been waiting." In front of them, three small specks appeared out of no where. They grew larger, though still small in size, and took the shapes of three feminine though small figures. And as they got more distinctive, they saw that the figures were old. Very old.
They each had grey or rotting hair, and many, many wrinkles. One, in the middle was taller than the other two, and had a very long nose. To the right of that one, was a slightly shorter figure. And on the left of the one in the middle, a short fatter woman formed. The other thing Sora noticed was that each woman had empty eye sockets, and the shortest of the three only had room for one eye. Then, in front of the middle one, a white orb appeared, but as Sora looked, he saw it was not just a orb, but it had a pupil and iris. It was an eye. The middle woman reached out and took the eye, and put it in one of her sockets.
"It sure took you long enough." She said as she looked at Sora and the others.
"Sora, Donald and Goofy, these are the Fates." Sid said.
"Past." The one of the right said.
"Present." The middle one said.
"And Future." The last one said.
"Fates, you know why we have come." Sid said.
"You wish to know more about the enemy, and how to stop it." The past one said.
"Few can withstand the might of the Burning Legion," The middle, present, one said. "But we will help. Listen well."
She plucked the eye out of her socket, and it glowed white and floated into the air. The three fates circled around it as images appeared. The Fate of the present began speaking.
"In our eye, we have seen the effects of the Burning Legion. Countless hundreds have been destroyed. And now, you seek to stop them from reaching an ultimate goal: the destruction of everything. To do this, you must protect Kingdom Hearts from their invasion. However, you four alone will not be enough."
The fate of the past began speaking now.
"To do this task, more warriors will you need. There is a warrior, dressed in red, with silver white hair. His nearly uncontrollable rage and immense power will aid you. At first, he will be distrustful of you, but never let up. Another wields a sword of light. He has powers of no others. With a thought he can bend a person to his will, or crush them with a wave of his hand. He seeks to protect everything, and will never leave you.
A boy, wielding a power from another world, is who you must seek next. He too, will not trust you all at first, but soon he will agree to aid you. With a clap of his hands, nothing can stop him. And the last you will need, is a sorcerer, still learning his craft. He has fought before, barely alive, and remained unscathed. He too, seeks to protect the ones he loves.
Find these four warriors, and you will stop the Legion."
"Thank you, Fates." Sid said. "I know of the places where these four reside. It will not be overly difficult to get them, as I know they will all be more than happy to join our cause. We shall leave you now. Thank you for your help."
"A word of warning, before you go." The last Fate said. "Should the Legion reach Kingdom Hearts, all will perish."
"Remember, boy," The fate of the present said to Sora. "Enemies can become allies, and allies can become enemies. Always be ready for the attack, and never let up." The air crackled around them. The three Fates swirled together, and merged into the floating eye. Then with a pop, they were gone.
"We must leave now." Sid said. The ground rumbled, causing some loose rock to fall.
"What was that?" Sora said.
"No, it can't be. Not here, not now." Sid said. He quickly grabbed onto Sora and the others and transported them to where he felt the source of the disturbance, on the surface. When they arrived, he wished he hadn't.
Green fire swept the Coliseum, which was utterly destroyed. There was no sign of Hercules or the others. But the fires that they saw were not ordinary fires. These were alive.
Some moved on fours, blazing fire hounds. Other flew in the air, launching attacks on the ground below. Other stood tall, in armor of flame and metal. They had not seen them yet, but that could not last.
"You now see them, Sora, for the first time. I just wish I had more time to prepare you." Sid said. "Now you see the Burning Legion."
Author's Note: I did not make a poem for when the Fate's speak, because I don't write poems very well. And I don't know their names.
So, in case you haven't realized it yet, this story is going to be very dark. At least, that's what I'm aiming for.
Hope you all enjoy. Please read and review.
