The Flame of Youth

CH. 1

The Crash

I don't own Kingdom Hearts or Legend of Zelda. Ain't that about a bitch?

"Hey honey." Sora said as he walked into his home after a heartless slaying workout.

"Hi baby." Kairi said as she leaned in and kissed him. "Have a good time killing a little darkness?"

"As always" he replied. Sora was a happy man. Twenty years old, in peak physical condition, a loving fiancée, and no signs of Organization XIII anywhere. Sure, there are a few heartless left, but nothing that can cause much of a threat. Living on a tropical island also makes for a nice bonus.

"Br-r-r-r-ing! Br-r-r-r-ing!" went the phone.

"Hello?" Sora said after picking up. "Your Majesty! Heartless? OK, I'll be at the castle soon." He hung up. "I gotta go, Kairi" He began walking to the front door, but stopped when he heard,

"Oh, no. Not this time, Mr. Hero!"

"Shit." Sora thought to himself.

"This time, I'm going with you!" Kairi stated.

"What? No, you can't! It's too dangerous."

"Don't tell me what's too dangerous. That night you proposed to me, we made a promise to make decisions as a team." She looked into Sora's eyes. "This time, we fight together. Besides, with all the fighting skills you've taught me, I should be fine. Right?"

"Right…" Sora said, looking down.

"That wasn't very enthusiastic." Kairi told him.

Sora looked up, and a grin spread across his face. "You're right, Kairi. We'll be fine so long as we stick together. Riku can handle the heartless around here."

"That's more like it. Come on, let's go!"

They went into their garage and got into the Gummi Ship that Sora had built with all the parts he got from Donald and Goofy. "Hold on tight!" Sora said as he fired up the engine.

They blasted off from the islands and were on their way to Disney Castle. "Wow. It's beautiful." Kairi said, observing the stars, which were just worlds at a distance. She hadn't had the chance to get into interspace much, so she was in awe at her surroundings.

"We're coming into the castle now." Sora told her. They landed in the Gummi Hangar and made their way through the courtyard and into the Throne Room. "Your Majesty." Sora said as he bowed. Kairi did the same.

"No time for formalities, you two." The King replied. "We've got a problem. Looks like someone got into Ansem's computer in Hollow—excuse me, Radiant Garden. They've turned up that heartless machine in the basement and crankin' out heartless. Tron tried to lock them out but he couldn't do it. I need you two to go there and make sure those heartless don't cause any major damage to the town. I would go with you, but I have matters to take care of here."

"You can count on us, Sir!" Kairi assured him.

"Thanks a lot, guys. Donald and Goofy are waiting there for you." With that, King Mickey turned around and went into the Hall of the Cornerstone.

"Well, what are we waiting for? Race you back to the ship!" Sora said as he took off.

Kairi chased after him. "Sora, that's not fair! I wasn't ready!"

They got back to their ship and were en route to Radiant Garden. "Oh man, I am itching for a fight." Sora thought out loud.

"Damn, you just killed some this morning. You must really love killing those things." Kairi pointed out.

"And you just noticed that?" Sora remarked.

"What do you think the King had to take care of?" Kairi asked

"Who knows? I'm just ready to kick some heartless-WOAH!" Sora cut off when the ship jolted and he heard an explosion.

"What the fuck was that?" Kairi questioned.

"Kairi…" Sora said quietly, "buckle up." The engine blew out and they began drifting to an unknown world. The ship entered the atmosphere and fell toward the ground.

"AHHHH!" Kairi screamed.

The ship crash landed and the two blacked out.

And that's the end of the 1st chapter. R&R please!
