Prologue
"It all begins…with birth by sleep"
Sora opened his eyes after hearing those words, faint and distant, yet distinguishable. He rubbed his eyes and noticed he was standing right in the middle of the dark city in the world that never was. He examined his surroundings, rubbing his eyes several times as they adjust. He felt as though he'd just awaken from a long slumber, yet he had no idea how he ended up back in the world of nothingness.
What's going on? Why am I in this city?
Sora blinked again, his eyes now fully adjusted, though his body still half asleep. He struggled to stay on his feet, as his legs felt like giving away under all the pressure of his body. Sora looked a little into the distance of the long dark city street, illuminated by the ominous lights from the buildings and the cold stare of the moon which Xemnas had used in his attempt to create his Kingdom Hearts. In the distance he saw a figure, dressed in an Organization XIII cloak. It seemed to be a man, a young man. Sora prepared to defend himself, knowing that anyone dressed that way was only there to start a fight. He drew his kingdom key, something he hadn't had to do in a while. The figure approached him, stopping about 20 yards ahead. Rain clouds appeared in the dark sky, but didn't cover the evil moon. The rain began to pour to the ground quickly, pelting both Sora and the man in front of him. The giant drops slammed to the ground, splashing loudly. It sounded almost like someone was dropping rocks from the sky onto the street. Puddles formed quickly on the dark city street all around Sora and his enemy. The air became suddenly chilled, cold enough that Sora could now see his and his enemies breath.
"Who are you!" Sora asked the man. "I thought I took care of all you organization clowns."
"Come quietly, and I won't have to fight you." The man said. His voice now proving he was young. It sounded older, but not of a fully grown man, but that of a boy no more than 17 years in age.
"Wait, your voice sounds familiar. Tell me who you are, NOW!" Sora demanded.
" I don't answer to nobodies." The boy said as he drew the Road to Dawn keyblade
That Keyblade"Riku." Sora said happily.
"Don't pretend like you know me!" Riku barked back, angry that his identity was now revealed, even though his face was still cloaked.
"Riku, whats wrong? Its me Sora, don't you remember."
Riku lowered his blade.
"Sora? No you're not Sora. Not anymore."
"What do you mean I'm not Sora anymore?" Sora asked.
"SHUTUP NOBODY" Riku shouted as he charged at Sora, his keyblade raised above his head.
"Riku, Stop!" Sora shouted as he blocked Riku's attack.
"Look at you. You call yourself Sora, yet you can't even wield that keyblade!" Riku said as he attacked Sora who was struggling to block Riku's attack.
"DIE NOBODY!" Riku said as he knocked Sora's keyblade out of his hand, onto the cold dark cement.
"Goodbye…Roxas" Riku said raising his keyblade over his head.
"Roxas? RIKU….NO!"
Riku swung his keyblade down at Sora's neck.
Sora awoke in a cold sweat in his bed. He looked outside and saw the moonlight reflecting off the ocean water. He breathed heavily, taking deep breaths. He felt his neck for any marks, but felt nothing.
What an awful dream. Why did Riku call me Roxas? Is it because Roxas is my nobody? I guess it was just a nightmare.
Sora lay back down and fell asleep, after tossing and turning in his bed for about an hour.
Sora was awaken by the sunlight that shined through his room onto his face. Sora opened his eyes, closing them quickly because of the light shock. He rubbed them and sat up in his bed, flinging the sheet over, off of his legs. What a weird dream that was, oh well I'm not gonna let it get to me. Sora quickly got dressed, he wore the same cloths he'd received back at Yen Sid's tower, because today was a special day. Today Sora was going to see the king and the others.
