Chapter 1: Mysterious Appearance

A girl walked down a dark alley. It was quiet, too quiet. She looked around, and saw nothing. But then, a dark figure in a black cloak appeared out of nowhere. She backed away a bit, but kept her eyes on the figure the whole time.

"Where is he? Where's Sora?" The figure, seemingly a man, asked in a shrill almost ghostly voice.

"What do you want with him?" The girl asked suspiciously. Many odd things had been happening lately. Like two weird weapons appearing in her hands. Her father had explained them to her, and now she understood her destiny. He taught her how to use them, lucky for her, though she was still learning.

"That is none of your business child, just tell me where he is and I won't have to hurt you," the man threatened her, pointing a lance in her direction.

"I'm not afraid of you, bring it on!" She held her hands out as if waiting for something to happen. Something did in fact happen. A keyblade appeared in each hand; one with the oathkeeper keychain, the other with the oblivion keychain. The man chuckled as five more lances appeared around him. The girl's eyes widened a bit, but she soon renewed her concentration.

"Tell me girl, what is your name?"

"My name is Sairia. You would do well to remember that name after you're dead!" She rushed at him, and swung her keyblades; one at his neck, the other toward his chest. He blocked her attack, and hit her with all of his lances at once. She fell backwards, landing against the ground, hard. Her keyblades disappeared, and everything went black. The last thing she saw was the man laughing as he disappeared in a cloud of black smoke. She fainted, right there in that dark alley. When she awoke again she was lying on an unfamiliar bed.

"Ah, you're awake. Good," a familiar voice stated as a man walked into the room.

"Riku…how'd you find me?" Her voice was raspy, probably because of the blow from the lances. Just about every bone in her body ached, she didn't dare move.

"Don't worry about that kid, just relax. You took quite a blow. I'm the one who should be asking questions. But, for now, just rest. Sora should be here soon," the now thirty-two year old Riku reassured her.

"Alright… And stop calling me kid! I'm thirteen now, remember?" She tried to smile, but it hurt too much. She closed her eyes and tried to relax, but she couldn't help thinking about her meeting in the alley.

"Heh heh, I know…I know…" Riku walked out of the room. A little while later a man with spiky brown hair and blue eyes walked into the room. He had a cheesy smile on his face, but in his eyes you could tell he was worried. Riku walked in behind him.

"Hey Sairia, how're ya doing?" The brown-haired man asked in a soft voice, taking a seat in a chair next to the bed.

"I'm okay Dad, don't worry," she answered, smiling slightly.

"She'll be fine Sora," Riku reassured Sora, putting a hand on his shoulder.

"I know. But, what happened?" Sora asked the dreaded question, the one Sairia didn't want to answer.

"Well…" Sairia explained the earlier events to them, not leaving out a single detail.

"I'm proud of you Sairia. But, you aren't ready to fight anyone from Organization XIII yet," Sora's voice trailed off as he remembered his encounters with the Organization. "Wait a second…black cloak? But…we defeated Organization XIII!" Sora had thought he defeated them a long time ago, how could they be back after so many years?
