Ch.1: Two Hearts

"KAIRI!" Sora yelled as he ran up the steps of the Grand Hall. When he reached the top of the steps, he looked down to see a small red headl aying there lifeless. Donald and Goofy could only stand and watch Sora from behind the invisible barrier that was between them.

"Kairi! Kairi! Open your eyes!" Sora cried out agian. Tears were starting to form behind his eyes.

"It's no use. That girl has lost her heart. She cannot wake up." Sora's head snapped up to see Riku standing on the steps right above where Kairi lay.

"What?" he stammered. Then it hit him. "You...you're not Riku."

"The Keyhole cannot be completed so as long as the last Princess of Heart still sleeps," the fake Riku replied.

"The princess...? Kairi's a princess?" he asked, not believing what he was hearing.

Suddenly, Riku started to float in mid-air. "Yes, and without her power, the Keyhole will be incomplete. It is time she awakened."

"Whoever you are, let Riku go! Give him back his heart!" Sora yelled, his hands waving at the air.

"But first, you must give the princess her heart back!" Sora's hands flew up to his chest as he fell to the ground. He could feelhis heart being pulled out of him.

"Sora!" Donald yelled from behind the barrier.

"What's-?" Sora gasped as he continued to hold onto his heart.

"Don't you see yet? The princess's heart is responding. It has been there all along. Kairi's heart rests within you!"

Kairi...Kairi's inside of me?" Sora felt of his heart. He could feel her inside of him.

"I know all that there is to know," Riku replied matter-of-factly.

"Tell me. Who are you?" Sora asked, now grasping his heart tighter.

"It is I, Ansem, the seeker of darkness," he answered, his voice growing deeper. Suddenly, Donald broke through the barrier and charged at him, but the fake Riku shoved him back into it.

"So I shall release you, Princess. Complete the Keyhole with your powe. Open the door, lead me into the everlasting darkness!" Riku yelled out as he brought down his dark Keyblade on Sora.

"SORA!" Sora could hear Kairi's voicein his heart. Quickly, he blocked Riku's attack.

"Forget it! There's no way you're taking Kairi's heart!" he yelled as he pushed Riku back.

Sora leapt at Riku. Together, their Keyblades clashed. Sora flipped behind Riku and slashed at him. Riku blocked and stabbed back at Sora. Their Keyblades clashed together agian. They struggled to knock the other down. Suddenly, Sora saw an opening and slashed at Riku. His Keyblade hit him across the chest. Sora stepped back as Riku grabbed his heart. He watched as he slowly faded away with only his dark Keyblade left behind.

"Riku!" Sora cried out after him.

"Sora! Sora, look!" Sora turned around to look at Goofy and Donald, the barrier no longer seperating them.

"The..the Keyhole!" Goofy said, amazed. Sora looked down at his Keyblade then back at the Keyhole. He pointed the Keyblade at it, but nothing happened.

"It won't work. The Keyhole's not finished yet," Goofy quipped.

"What can we do?" Sora asked thoughtfully.

"Maybe we've gotta wake Kairi up," suggested Goofy.

"I think your right. If we can free her heart...but...but how?" Sora looked back over to where the dark Keyblade still rested. "A Keyblade that unlocks people's hearts...I wonder."

"Sora?" Goofy asked, his hand reaching out to Sora. Slowly Sora approached it and picked it up. He could feel the darkness within it.

"Sora, hold on!" Goofy cried out.

"No, wait!" Donald yelled.

Sora smiled at them as he held the dark incarnation of the Keyblade above his chest. They would always remember that smile. It was so carefree and innocent. The first time they had seen it was when they had met in Traverse Town after their first battle agianst a Heartless. They had also seen it many times during their journey. It had even kept Donald's hopes up, but now even Goofy felt the sadness and burning of loss when they knew that this was the last time that they would see his radiant grin. Then it was gone as he plunged the dark Keyblade into his heart. Goofy and Donald watched as Sora's heart was released from his body into the small form of Kairi that lay lifeless on the floor. Suddenly, the hearts of the other six princesses returned to them. They continued to stare as Sora's body lit up.

"Sora...Sora!" Donald cried out one final time.

They looked over just in time to see Kairi's eyes flutter open. She immediately jumped up and ran over to Sora.

"Sora!" she cried out, but he disappeared before she could catch him.


Suddenly, Sora was floating in the darkness. "What's...What's happening to me? Falling...falling...into darkness." He reached out as he continued to fall into the oblivion of darkness.

"So, you have awakened at last, Princess." Goofy, Donald, and Kairi turned to see a man with his hood down. "The Keyhole is complete. You have served your purpose, but now it's over." Instinctively, Donald and Goofy lift up their weapons.

"Don't make another move!" warned Donald.

"Do you think we can take him?" Goofy whispered to Donald.

"I don't know!" Donald yelled back.

Ansem stepped forward. "Impossible..."

"NO!" They turned over to look at an image of Riku who had just appeared.

"Riku!" Kairi cried out.

"You've got to run! The Heartless are coming!"Riku warned, still staring at Ansem. Suddenly, dark shapes wallowed out of the ground, slowly surrounding them. Kairi nodded. They turned and ran away from Ansem.

"What about the Keyhole?" asked Goofy as they continued to run.

"Let's just get out of here!" Donald yelled over his shoulder. They continued to run as a Heartless silently followed them into the Entrance Hall.

Goofy turned back around only to see Kairi looking back."Kairi, hurry!"

"I can't leave them behind!' She replied.

"We can't stay here!" Donald yelled, pulling on her slender arm.

"A Heartless is after us!" Goofy pointed out.

"I'll take care of him!" Donald charged at the Heartless, swiping his wand at it. The Heartless only stepped back and looked back up at Donald, cocking its head to one side.

"Sora? Is that you?" Kairi asked as she ran over to the Heartless. She embraced it.

"Uh-oh!" Goofy cried out. Donald and Kairi turned to see a crowd of Heartless surrounding them.

"This time, I'll protect you," Kairi whispered to the Shadow Heartless as she wrapped her arms around it. Donald and Goofy charged at the Heartless, cutting throught them one at a time. Goofy charged at them while Donald cast Thunder to hit several at one time. Soon all of the Heartless were gone. When they turned back around, they were blinded by a light. When the light finally faded, they saw Sora with his arms around Kairi.

"Sora..." Kairi whispered into his soft blue and white jacket.

"Thanks...Kairi."

"Sora!" Donald and Goofy exclaimed excitedly. Suddenly, more Heartless appeared out of nowhere, but the Beast jumped in front of them.

"Go on!" he commanded.

"Come with us!" Sora yelled back.

"I told you before, I'm not leaving without Belle. Now, go! The Heartless are coming!"

"Alright," Sora sighed. "Let's get out of here." They turned and ran out of the Entrance Hall together.

AN: Even though this is very much like the cutscene in the game, this only sets the place for the other Nobodies.
