Notice: To all those who have seen this fic since the first two days. There had been technical difficulties that I soon hope to resolve. The original two chapters are now in their right places. That is all.


Back at the Hotel- "Okay. How much Munny have we got?" asked Sora.

"Not much. Enough to get one more night's stay here is suppose." Goofy answered.

"I think its obvious that buying a new ship is out of the question." Donald said next.

"What are we gonna do? Build one?"

"We can't." Sora said. "Cid might know how, but we don't even know where Traverse Town is..." Sora hung his head, unable to resist thinking of all the things that had gone wrong. They had lost the Gummi ship. They had no Munny. And worst of all the Heartless were back, stronger than ever. And after two years of nothing but walking, everybody's skills had tarnished. Sora barely remembered some of the lesser techniques, not to mention advanced ones like Ragnorok or Strike Raid. They'd all have to relearn them or else they were screwed.

Sora than remembered something that sent a chill down his spine. "Kairi!" He exclaimed. "She's unprotected!" And the Heartless are probably already on their way. Kairi is after all one of the princesses of heart. Why else would the Heartless have come before? They want her heart. The world's is just a bonus.

Sora punched the wall, barely even feeling his hand throb because of it. "We've got to find a way off of this world!"

Donald looked worried. "Shouldn't we find the Keyhole first?" Sora although it was the last thing he was worried about, was about to agree. But then he had an idea. A horrible idea, but it had to work.

"No." Sora said. Donald and Goofy look at him eyebrows raised. "We can't seal the Keyhole. Not this time. We have to get off this world."

"Whaddaya mean?" They asked in unison.

"You guys have never been on a world taken by the Heartless. But I have. It was the way I ended up in Traverse town to begin with. Its horrible, but we have to let this world taken by the Heartless. It's the only way."

The other two were shocked. "Sora. We just can't do that!" Goofy said.

"It's the only way! Even if we lock the Keyhole here, we'd still be stuck. Maybe if we move, we'll be able to go from there. We have to. We have to sacrifice this world to save all the others."

Goofy couldn't think of anything to say. Neither could Donald. "I'm sorry guys but I've made my decision. You guys can't use the Keyblade anyway. Without me, you're stuck. So if you're against it then stay here and get swallowed with the rest of this world!"

Sora couldn't take it anymore. He threw open the door and stormed off. He didn't want to do this, but he had to. If not for the other worlds' sake, then for hers.


A week had passed. Goofy and Donald realized that there was no swaying Sora so they had reluctantly agreed with the plan. As the week progressed, the Heartless sightings rapidly increased. Riots broke out, helping the ultimate destruction of the world. Then finally a sudden storm rolled into town.

The sun was blocked out by unnaturally thick clouds, covering the city in darkness. Sora could feel the hairs on his neck stand on end. Tonight was the night. In a grim silence the trio walked outside and was immediately greeted with mayhem. People were running around frantically, random scream carried further by the harsh winds.

Shadows began appearing in droves. A few launched themselves toward the three. Sora raised his hand, calling the Keyblade into existence. He blocked the attacks, the blade's power pushing the Heartless back. Sora raised the Keyblade above his head. "Thundara!" Bolts of lightning rained down from the blackened sky, striking and destroying the Heartless in front of Sora.

But this drew attention from other Shadows. However, before they attacked, they reduced themselves to their puddle form, and started to merge together. "Here we go." Sora whispered. The huge shadow spot on the ground rose to take form. It grew massive arms and huge legs. Two glowing spots that acted as eyes took shape and there was an enormous heart-shaped hole in the middle.

"A Darkside." The Heartless towered over the trio. And above it, a massive orb of darkness was growing, beginning to suck the entire world into it. "This is it!" Sora yelled as the roaring winds began to pick up. "We got to go now!" Goofy and Donald nodded their affirmation and began to run with Sora. Together they all leaped, and were sucked up by the winds.

They flew up through the Darkside's gut and were soon being hurtled into the black void.
