Disalcimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts, nor the characters. Ownership belongs to Squaresoft/Square Enix and Disney. I only own this fic.
A/N: Hi everyone. I just wanted to take a break from my other fic "The Magic of Believing" and wrote this, which is one of my two "Kingdom Hearts" stories that I want to post.
The story is more of an alternate ending to the game and continues on after that.
Meeting
Cerulean skies, emerald-green grass, and a light russet patch that cut through the meadow, this was the peaceful scenery that engulfed the shockingly bright blue eyes of a young boy. The spiky cinnamon locks that adorned his head swayed slightly to the soft breeze that currently blew. He wore a red shirt and trousers, a hodded black vest with white sleeves, and yellow shoes while two chains completed his outfit. One was dangling by his waist wile the other was about his neck with a pendant, in the shape of a crown, attached to it. The youth sighed as he remembered the events that resulted to him being alone in this grazing land.

"But…"
"Don't worry," said Mickey, turning to him. "there will always be a door to the light."
"Sora," Goofy called. "you can trust King Mickey."
"The dog's right." encouraged Riku. "Even if I only met their King a few hours ago, I know he's right. Don't worry Sora, you'll find that door."
With one last look at his silver-haired friend and the king, Sora, with the help of his companions, pushed the door closed. Stepping back, he summoned his Kingdom Keyblade, as did Mickey, and both pointed the Keys at the door to Kingdom Hearts. A beam of light emitted from their weapons, and hit bith sides of the door, surrounding it. After a few moments, it disappeared.
"What's going to happen to us?" Donald asked.
"Well, since this world's gonna go 'poof!', maybe we'll be sent to another world." Said Goofy.
"Hopefully, we'll still be alive after that." Sora commented.
The ground rumbled.
"What's going on?" the wizard exclaimed.
Before anyone could answer, a loud crack was heard. Glancing down, they saw numerous fractures on the ground, which split into many sections. Sora was separated from the other two. Then, another flash of light surrounded him and he fell unconscious.
~*~*~End Flashback~*~*~
When he woke up he found himself in a bed of grass by the path in this meadow. Though it was serene, he still felt the pang of loneliness. For some odd reason, he somehow knew that his friends were safe in their own worlds.
"I can't say the same for myself, though." he mumbled. "Might as well walk around."
He did just that and followed the seemingly never-ending path.
Soon enough trees began to increase in number, giving him the hint that he was entering a forest. He then realized that he was in a new world, and an uncharted one at that.
'Now what do I do?' he thought to himself, summoning his Kingdom Keyblade just for the sake of entertainment.
His question was answered in the form of a Heartless; however, one that he has never seen before. It was similar to a Shadow, it was still black, had yellow eyes, and had antennas, but it had a body similar to a human's. It looked at him, and started creeping towards the Keyblade.
"What the?!" he shouted, shocked.
He tried to slash the Heartless, but it jumped back, surprisingly, with great agility. He summoned the Metal Chocobo Keyblade and got serious with the Heartless he dubbed the NeoShadow.
"There's no way you're getting my heart or the Keyblade!" he exclaimed.
Even if it had no mouth, Sora had the feeling the NoeShadow was smirking at him. He waited for it to make the first move, which it did, and got his chance. Before he could kill it, though, a shot rang in the air, a bullet grazing his ear. To his surprise the NeoShadow fell over and faded away, the way all Heartless do when they die.
Registering his shock, he looked around to find the source of the bullet. He heard a few voices behind a thicket. Pushing away some leaves, he found two men arguing. One of the men was tall and had long brown hair that was pulled back in a low ponytail, wore a purple shirt, khaki pants and overcoat, and dark brown boots.. The other was shorter than the other and had spiky blonde hair, wore a red vest over a black shirt, blue trousers, and rubber shoes that matched his vest. Both wore fingerless gloves.
At first, Sora thought that the two were Leon and Cloud, but taking a closer look, he knew that they weren't. For one, Cloud's hair didn't spike up like that, and for another, Leon didn't wear a cowboy hat. The men were arguing about something, and both were trying to get a rifle out of the other's grasp. He now knew where the bullet came from, but he was curious as to who shot it, so he listened in.
"Give me that! You almost shot the kid!" the blonde shouted, pulling on the rifle.
"That's 'cause he moved forward!" the brunette retorted. "Give me my rifle back!"
"The point is, you almost shot him! Now let go before…"
One of them accidentally pulled the trigger, Sora wasn't sure who, and another bullet shot out and up into the trees, scaring away a few birds. He figured that he better cut into the conversation before someone really gets hurt.
"Uh…guys?" he said, cutting the fight.
The two men paused and looked at Sora. Suddenly, the blonde let go of the rifle while the taller man hid it behind his back. Both had a nervous smile on their faces. The shorter of the two moved towards him.
"Listen kid, I had nothing to do with it! He was the one who pulled the first shot." he said.
"What? You told me to shoot the…that…thing!" countered the other.
"Guys!" Sora interrupted. "It's okay, I'm fine with it!"
"You are?" the first asked. "Well in that case…what's your name, kid? And what're you doing in a place like this?"
"Don't call me kid." said the Keybearer. "Anyway, the name's Sora. And as to why I'm here…well…let's just say that I'm not from around here."
"Around here in general or as in not from this world?" stated the second.
Sora stared at the tall man.
"What are you saying?" he asked, bewildered.
"What I'm saying is if you were going to say that you're from another world, we'll believe you." the man replied.
"We're from another world too." the blonde explained.
"Who are you, anyway?" Sora inquired.
"I'm called Zell, Zell Dincht. Plain Zell will do." the blonde said, introducing himself. "Martial artist of Balamb Garden."
"And I'm Irvine Kinneas. Just call me Irvine" the brunette said, following suit. "Sharpshooter of Galbadia Garden."
A/N: Ah, a bit of a cliffhanger there as you can see. Well, should I continue? R+R please!
