And So It Begins: Arrival

"Until now, my old friend. Until now .. you had been able to defy me. But now ... I have found a way for the Destruction Blade to corrupt yourselves as well. Your blades have been corrupted, and that has forced you all to parcially serve me, but now ... your friends are minmine." The figure spat as his blade, oddly shaped like black U crushed Seig's companion's chests.

"But you, my young friend. Your heart is too pure to corrupt. Your keyblade has been tinted, but that alone doesn't change you. You are interesting, but your greatest strenght has proved to be your greatest flaw, and because of it ... this world and all others will be destroyed!"

"And ... huff ... just ... what " Seig stuttered, as his eyes closed. "was ... my ... flaw?"

The form came into the light, revealing someone so sinister ... the world had been brought into chaos. "It would be your ..."

Thud thud ... thud thud ... thud thud ...

"Your Heart."


Sora was chasing Kairi around the beach as Riku sighed and continued to practice his spells through his keyblade. Extending his keyblade, aiming at a group of piled cans, he yelled, "Explosion!" All that happened was a small "boom" as the cans just fell over. "Damn it ..." Riku cursed. For the last three days of nonstop practicing, he had only managed to create his own spell to such a small level of power.

Sora, on the other hand, judy proved that he was the Keyblade Master; he had already mastered his first origninal spell; Earth, and he was working on a second, that he wouldn't reveal. All his extra time was spent in teaching Kairi combat and magic skills.

Kairi was an average learner. She had her strengths and weaknesses; she had mastered nearly every spell thrown at her, except the Riku's and Sora's originals, but her aim was ... well ... sad.

As much as Sora had tried to convince Kairi to stay behind, even after the King's letter, Kairi had managed to convince Sora. That is if you call the "puppy lip" and a "please" convincing. Sora just couldn't take making her unhappy. Riku just sighed as he restacked the cans and tried again.

And about her aim ... that was the whole reason Sora was chasing Kairi right now. She had set Sora on fire for the third time in ten minutes. Kairi laughed as Sora continued to chase her around the beach. As Kairi tired, she extended her keyblade behind her and yelled, "Aero!"

Her aim held true and sent Sora flying into a tree. He hit it hard, and hit the ground. He didn't move.

Riku just smiled and continued to practice, as Kairi panicked and ran over to Sora. "Sora, Sora! Are you ok?" she asked, urgently, turning Sora over. Sora just laughed and surprised her by grabbing her and pinning her down under him.

"Sora," she whined, "You tricked me!" She tried to struggle but she eventually gave up. She looked into Sora's eyes. He looked back. She surprised him by turning him around. Now ... she was on top. "Hah ... DON'T YOU EVER SCARE ME LIKE THAT!" Sora winced. They looked at each other.

"You know," Sora brought up, breathing slightly harder. "You look really beautiful when your angry" He had no idea what the hell he was saying.

"Sora ..." Kairi whispered, softened. They were really close to each other now.

"Sora! Kairi!" Riku's voice yelled from the beach. "The ship's here!" And sure enough a gummi ship was slowly descending from the skies to the beach where Riku was waving to the ship.

They looked at each other again before they realized how close they were and separated. Dusting themselves out a little blit, they blushed furiously while running towards Riku waving their hands.

Sora furiously thought to himself ... Great Riku ... ruin the moment where I would finally get to kiss her ... wait ... kiss her? Once again we face another hero who is so dense he just doesn't get things ... even when he knows his feelings.

Yes, Einstein. Kiss the girl you love. Sora just blushed a shade darker as he approached Riku.

Kairi was a little more shaken ... Sora and I almost kissed ... but ... I don't like him in th ...

Now even I don't see the point in denying you have feelings for him stronger then any I've ever known ...

And you know this how?

I'm your other half ... Yours and Sora's feelings resonate in me and Roxas ...

O great ... My other knows more about me then I do ...

Riku spoke up, "Donald and Goofy aren't here. Just Chip and Dale. They'll be meeting us at the Radiant Gardens." Riku saw the looks on his friends faces and asked, "Anything wrong, you guys?"

They both just shook their heads and entered the ship.

---------------------

Seig walked down the streets of Traverse Town. Utaro, the Twilight Chaser, stood to his left. He hadunusually dark blonde hair, and his eyes were lifeless green. Leia, who stood to his right, who was from no single affinity, had black hair, and lifeless blue eyes.

Seig kept turning to look at his friends. They didn't say anything or hear anything. They only saw their destination: The Radiant Garden, where their master wanted them to face the three "Neo-Chasers" as he called them.

"Utaro. Leia, fight the darkness." he urgently whispered to his friends. Immediately the Keyblade of Fate was at his throat. The crowd immediately ran for cover, as they realized that the tourists were actually the feared Chasers.

"Don't defy the master, Seig! Keep you promise to me, your light or die!" Lei spat.

"I have to protect you guys, but your hearts have been manipulated by Darkness itself. You have to fight the evil you once swore to destroy," Seig continued to say, his two keyblades appeared in his hands.

"That won't do you any good," Utaro stated. "We can fight you ... but ... you can't fight us." Seig cursed as he tried to disarm his friends but he couldn't get within an inch of them. "You may be the greatest swordsman, next to master, that the world has ever seen, but that comes to naught."

"Now, we must go," Leia said as she knocked Seig out. "We must test the King, who has inherited my original keyblade, and his little followers: your replacement, Riku, and ... Seig's replacement, Sora."

She grabbed Seig and Utaro, and they disappeared in a swirl of leaves.

-------------------

"Goofy! Donald!" Sora yelled as he jumped of the gummi ship, tackling his best friends. Kairi and Riku followed him, smiling. Riku just stared at his smiling friend. During the whole flight, he and Kairi had been unusually quiet. Even by his standards ... Time for me to play match maker ... He grinned. This would be fun.

"Your Majesty," Sora said, bowing. "We got your message. How can we assist you?" The Kingdom Key appeared in his hand as Kairi and Riku bowed. King Mickey bowed, slightly, before responding.

"We have the issues mentioned in the letter, and others ..." he said. He looked at Kairi, quickly, before saying, "that should be for keyblade wielders only." Sora nodded, slightly confused. Riku understood.

"Kairi," Mickey spoke up, "Yen Sid would like to speak with you, and test out your new abilities. Based on what we've heard, the Chasers will be heading out for the Radiant Garden within the next few days. That should be enough time to see how strong we are compared to the others."

"Sure thing, Your Majesty!" she nodded, happily following Chip and Dale to Yen Sid. Sora looked at her as she walked away, thoughts racing to his head.

"Ahem, Sora," Riku said, smiling. "Pay attention." Sora immediately jerked back to reality, and looked at Mickey.

"So what's happenned?" Sora asked, getting straight to the point.

"These three chasers," he stated darkly. "They aren't just Chasers ... or at least ... they weren't." At the shock he received, he continued, "I think you two have already guessed. These three were the original Keyblade wielders, and one of them was also the Original Princess of Heart!"

PREVIEW:

Why are you guys here! And what do you want!" Sora yelled at the Chasers before him. The girl and boy to the sides laughed as Seig stared down, sadly.

"We are here to test your powers as the 'Neo-Chasers' " Seig said, the Kingdom Key and his own Keyblade appeared in his hands. "Utaro, Leia, fight Riku, and Kairi and the king respectively." They nodded. Riku and the King immediatley jumped back as a devastating blow landed on the ground in front of them, effectively separating them from Sora. Kairi had been pushed back by Sora and was now helping Mickey with his fight.

"You and me are both alone now, Sora," Seig said. "No friends ... noone ..."
