Chapter 2: Roxas's journey begins.
Roxas walked through the dark alley towards where there was rumored to be a gate that would lead him to another world.
Axel stood leaning against the wall, as if he was waiting for him.
"Roxas, I can't let you do this."
"YOU can't let me do this. I didn't realize you had any authority over me."
Roxas growled back.
"Do you know what they'll do to you if you betray the organization?" Axel asked worriedly.
"So what, its not like anyone would miss me." Roxas said, as he walked away from Axel quickly, his head hung low.
"You're wrong, I would." Axel whispered to Roxas who had disappeared into the darkness of the alley.
Roxas made his way to the end of the alley. Against the wall was a portal, shrouded in darkness.
"Twilight beam" Roxas said as a beam of light shot out of his hands onto the portal, which lifted the dark barrier. Roxas took a deep breath then stepped through.
When he arrived on the other side he was surprised to see nothing but darkness. The only light shown from the floor, which curiously had drawings on it. It was made of magic, but looked to be of glass or porcelain. The drawings on the floor depicted people that Roxas felt as though he somehow knew. There was a duck, and what looked to be a silly looking dog. Then underneath them were a pretty girl and a boy with silver hair. Then Roxas noticed the biggest picture lay under his feet. It was a boy with brown hair and bright red shorts, and yellow shoes, holding a keyblade.
"Is this…Sora?" Roxas asked himself.
"Yes." Answered a voice.
Roxas looked up immedialy and saw Diz, one of the organizations high ups standing before him.
"Diz. I hope you aren't here to stop me, cause you won't." Roxas threatened.
"I'm not here to stop you Roxas, I'm here to help you. I'm going to show you the path to the worlds you seek." Diz said.
"Why?" Roxas asked.
"I feel that every nobody has a right to know where he or she came from." Diz replied.
"Thank you." Roxas said as a smirk crossed his face.
"Well you can't go anywhere looking like that." Diz said pointing at Roxas' robe.
Diz held up his hand and pointed at Roxas. A beam of light shot from his index finger and hit Roxas. Roxas closed his eyes as he clothes lit up brightly. When the light faded Roxas had a new wardrobe. He wore a black vest, which was zipped up, over that was a white vest with black stripes on the shoulders. He looked down at his legs and notice the black shorts with silver pant leg add ons. Since the vests were short sleeved, his black and white wristband could now be seen.
"There, that's the attire of a man on a quest." Diz said triumphantly.
"Thanks Diz. How am I going to get to other worlds?" Roxas asked.
"Why through the doors of course." Diz said as doors popped up from the floor magically and lined the edge of the circular floor on which they stood.
"Each door will take you to a new world. What you seek is through one of these doors." Diz explained.
"Use your keyblade well Roxas. Not only for protection, but for guidance. The keyblade is a powerful tool, and only those with strong wills can wield it. Quickly make haste through the first door." Diz said as he pointed to a door behind Roxas.
Above the door was an engraved triangle. It shined brightly as if inviting Roxas in.
"I will tell the others that I sent you to do tasks for me, that should keep them off your back."
"Diz, thank you. Tell Axel I'll see him soon." Roxas said before rushing into the door.
Diz stared at the door at which Roxas had passed through. He chuckled at first and then laughed maniacally.
"I will Roxas, I will."
"Sora wake up." A voice called, prompting Sora to open his eyes, ending yet another dream.
Riku and Kairi looked from their seats back at him.
"We're here." Riku said.
"Are you ok Sora, you were tossing and turning." Kairi said
"Yeah, and on top of that you kept mumbling." Riku added.
"I'm fine, c'mon lets go see the king." Sora said.
They climbed out of the gummi ship onto the metal platform on which Riku had landed. It was indoors, in the same area Sora had landed on his first trip to the castle.
"Follow me guys." Sora said walking towards the exit.
He opened the door and the bright sunlight shined through, blinding him.
Sora stepped through the door, then everything went black.
