Kingdom Hearts Z

Last Time on Kingdom Hearts Z: During Sora's voyage, the young boy alongside his best friends were sucked inside some kind of vortex. Sora tried his best to avoid it, but it was no use and they were inevitably sucked in the vortex. Meanwhile in another universe, the fallen hero Goku trains on King Kai's planet to prepare for an invasion on Earth that's bound to happen in one year. During the training, a mysterious ship crashed on King Kai's planet and inside it laid both Sora, Donald, and Goofy. With Goku and King Kai's help, the trio were in steady recovery. However, after Goku's training, the young boy suddenly wakes up over his injuries and now struggles fighting of the gravity of King Kai's planet. Just who is this boy? And just what is he seeking or doing in the first place? Find out in this chapter of Kingdom Hearts Z!


Training Begins

"Gah! This is so weird! I just get up barely and I feel like I'm getting crushed like a soda can!" Sora said as he was struggling with the gravity on King Kai's planet.

Not too long ago, Sora was sucked into a vortex alongside Donald and Goofy. How or why it was there was an unknown. During that time, Goku was busy training for an oncoming invasion that would Earth in a year. Three months have passed then for Goku, and he has grown in strength quite intensely. However, a ship had crashed on King Kai's planet and with it Sora, Donald, and Goofy. Goku immediately gave them aid alongside King Kai. However, Sora was found awake after Goku's training routine, and right now he was hurting more from the gravity of the planet than his own injuries.

"Amazing! He's already up and trying to stand to the gravity on King Kai's planet!" Goku thought.

"The boy just woke up and he's trying to resist the gravity? I give him points for tenacity, but if he keeps this up he's gonna tear up, and those injuries aren't helping one bit at all." King Kai thought.

Sora continued to struggle with the gravity, and his injuries were only making it even worse. However, Goku went up to him to speak.

"Listen, I know you feel weird right now, but I promise you that you'll get used to it. For now, please take it easy and let yourself recover."

Sora was reluctant to give up, but his wounds were making it worse indeed. He then succumbed to the gravity and fainted on the ground. Goku picked up the young boy and put him back to bed alongside his two companions.

"King Kai, did you see what I just saw?" Goku asked.

"Yes, I did Goku. And I'll admit; that boy has a strong will indeed." King Kai nodded.

"Hey King Kai, let's help him get used to the gravity of your planet alongside his friends when he recovers. After that, it'll be easier for him to move and we can ask him questions easier than seeing him struggle with the gravity." Goku suggested.

King Kai thought for a bit about what Goku said. He still didn't know about what the boy was, but he couldn't just stand to see him injured. Plus it would be easier if he would stand like normal so he could learn what he could from the boy.

"Alright but first we need to let him rest. Let's wait til tomorrow." King Kai said.


The Next Morning…

Sora woke up the next morning. He was fully healed and rose up. Beside him were Donald and Goofy. The last thing Sora remembered was the ship crashing while protecting Donald and Goofy from the impact. He looked around to see he was in a small little house. He found himself in good shape and realized his was bare chested. He was going to get up until he struggled getting off the floor.

"Ah man, not again!" Sora said.

For some reason while getting up he felt like he was getting crushed as if someone had landed a bunch of weights on his back. Sora attempted to get up as best he could, but found himself getting pushed harder and harder the more he tried to get up. However, he was able to at least take a stance while at the same time manage to stand, but barely and resorted to walking in a crouched position.

"This is weird, I'm in a new world and for some reason I feel intensely heavy." Sora thought.

He struggled to get in a few paces, but eventually walked to the exit of the small house and walked outside to see what was going on. He walked out to see that the area was covered by nothing but grass and trees with a small pavement that seems to go only one way. Sora then looked to the sky and was amazed that color resembled a peach and lemonade like status instead of a regular blue while stars could be seen shining from above. Sora could only stare in awe in his current predicament. Just where did he land in?

"Ah, I see that you are awake."

Sora was puzzled by the sudden voice and turned to see where it had come from. He was greeted by what looked like a giant blue cricket and a man that had unnatural spikey black hair.

"For a minute I thought we had to for a few days, but it looks like you've recuperated in such a short time. I've gotta say I'm impressed." The blue cricket said.

"Who..are you guys?" Sora asked while struggling with the gravity.

"I think that can wait til later. For now we need to help you get used to the gravity on this planet." The spikey haired man said.

Sora was confused by what they were implying.

"Ahem. As you've noticed you're currently standing like a man with a stick. That's because the gravity on this planet is ten times stronger than the gravity you're normally used to." The blue cricket said.

"You mean I'm getting crushed by gravity?" Sora asked to which the other two nodded their heads.

"Yep, and we're gonna help you get used to the gravity here." The spikey haired man said.

"Really? How?" Sora asked.

Suddenly, a monkey popped out of a tree and was looking at Sora with a funny look. Sora was taken back by the sudden appearance of the monkey.

"I'd like you to meet Bubbles. He's a friend of mine and will be part of your training. All you have to do is catch him."

Sora was shocked by what the giant blue cricket had asked of him.

"Wha…but that's impossible since it's so heavy around here."

However, the spikey haired man walked up to Sora and said to him, "Heh, yeah that's how I first felt when I came here too. But trust me; it's not as hard as it looks. So long as you keep focus you'll be fine."

Sora was reluctant at first, but then thought about what the man said and decided to go with it.

"Alright, let's do it."

"Excellent! Alright Bubbles let'em have it."

At his signal Bubbles began to run around whereas Sora was attempting to catch up. However, the gravity was being unbearable and impeded Sora's progress. He tried to run but could only make baby steps as he was attempting the challenge.

"Gahh…this…is…so…hard" Sora said while struggling with the challenge.


With King Kai and Goku…

"Well looks like the boy is off to a great start" Said King Kai who was observing from a distance with Goku.

"He'll get used to it. I know he will." Goku said.

"Y'know he reminds me of you when you first started out." King Kai remarked.

"Heheh, yeah he sure does huh King Kai?" Goku asked.

"Alright, let's just see what the boy is made off." King Kai said.


Back with Sora…

Right now, Sora was struggling. He tried with all of his might to catch up to Bubbles, but had no luck. He was trying to run as best he could be couldn't help but feel weighted down. The gravity was punishing very badly and had no luck so far. In fact, he couldn't even take as single step without being careful. Some could say he was having really bad luck on his shoulders.

"Aw man this sucks! How the heck am I gonna catch that monkey?" Sora asked.

As Sora continued to run, one of his gloves came off when he thought he had Bubbles who was toying with him.

"That's not funny!"

Sora continued to grip his hands, but felt something very weird. He observed his hands for a while and noticed something. With his gloved hand, it still felt heavy. His gloveless hand however was hard to move still, but yet with relative ease. Sora continued to experiment with this until he came up with some kind of an absolute thought.

Sora then immediately pulled out the other glove and dropped on the ground where it sounded like a rock falling from a 30 ft. drop.

"It looks like my clothing is kinda making this harder on me. Good thing I don't have my shirt on me at the moment."

Just to give him one last leverage and boost, he took of his shoes just to give himself a little more "lighted" space.

"Alright! I'm coming for you!" Sora shouted.

With at least some weight off of Sora's back, he found it at least a little easier to run. In fact, he was actually running, albeit a slower rate. Bubbles took note of this and kept running away from Sora. However, he would soon learn that the boy was tenacious and that he would not give up so easily.


With King Kai and Goku…

"Well, looks like he took some weight of his hands I must say." King Kai said while chuckling at his non-humorous joke.

Goku however, seemed amazed at the boy and his tenacity.

"This guy is really interesting. I can feel it. He has so much potential as a fighter. I wonder if after this we can help bring out his real power?" Goku thought.


Hours later…

Sora had been running for quite a long time, but it seemed he could run with ease. Sora didn't realise it, but he was managing the gravity and its effects were lessening him more and more. Bubbles kept evading him, but Sora kept on running and running behind Bubbles at least a couple of inches away. King Kai had observed his progress very thoroughly, and he was very impressed indeed.

"I have to admit he's adapting very quickly. I'm amazed with the progress he's making. I think there is more to this boy then what's let on around here." King Kai thought.

"Wow, he's made progress. He really reminds me about my first time around here. I think this kid has more potential then he knows himself." Goku thought.

Bubbles tried to evade Sora, but Sora kept picking up the pace more and more. He continued to run faster and faster while at the same time kept his balance as Bubbles tried to evade him. The monkey continued to use tactics such as stop and run or quick sliding, but Sora kept handling those tricks as if they were just child's play. Bubbles continued to run, but was now pressured by Sora's steady balance and increased speed and stability.

"I've got you now! Rahhhhhhh!" Sora shouted.

Using his leg and body strength, he leaped and jumped towards Bubbles in a last ditch effort to catch the running monkey. Bubbles tried to run faster but it worked to no avail, for Sora had tackled the monkey and manages to catch him on the ground. With persistence and his sheer determination, he had finally succeeded in catching Bubbles. He picked Bubbles up with a grin and laugh on his face. And then it wasn't until he realized something was weird with him. He was standing up, perfectly and didn't feel dragged by the gravity. He was finally adjusted to the gravity of the planet.

"Hey, I feel better. I don't feel like getting dragged down." Sora realized.

"Well done. Well done indeed." The blue cricket creature said.

"Nice! I knew you could do it." The spikey haired man said.

"Haha. Well thanks, I guess I couldn't have done it without you." Sora said.

Just then, they could hear a crashing sound from inside the small house. They ran to see what the ruckus was. And they were in for a surprise. The duck and the other being that was with the boy had woke up, and were in the same predicament that Sora was in a couple of hours before.

"Gahhh! What's going on here?" The duck muttered.

"Gawrsh, I feel flat like a pancake!" The other being said.

"Ahh! Donald! Goofy!" Sora shouted.

"Goku, pick these guys up. This is gonna be a long day." King Kai said with a sigh.

Goku merely laughed at the situation and went to help Sora's friends up.

"This is gonna be a long night." King Kai thought.


The next day…

It was morning and Goku was busy doing his routine training with the young Sora observing in awe. Last night, King Kai had stayed up awake all night just to help Donald and Goofy get attuned to the gravity by performing the same test as Sora. It was difficult since they were a little bit clumsy, but in the end they were attuned to the gravity as well. However it left King Kai quite tired along with Donald and Goofy. It was morning and Goku was doing his usual training. Donald and Goofy had just woken up with King Kai and were surprised to see Sora awake.

"G'morning Sora!" Goofy said.

Sora turned to see Donald and Goofy who had just came out of the small house to greet their friend.

"Donald, Goofy! You guys are all right!" Sora said.

The trio ran to each other and grabbed each other in joy.

"So where's the cricket guy? I wanted to thank him." Sora asked.

Just then, King Kai had just stepped out of his house to see what the ruckus was. Apparently he was tired after helping Donald and Goofy adjust to the gravity. He let out a big yawn when he noticed Sora was awake.

"Ah, you're awake. Please come inside. There's something I like to discuss with you three." King Kai said. He then turned to Goku and said, "Hey Goku! Come take a break for a sec!"

"Okay King Kai!" Goku said as he was running towards the house.

Inside King Kai's house…


Sora, Donald and Goofy immediately took a seat. King Kai and Goku decided to do the same. Since Sora was now easy to work with, it was time King Kai got himself some answers.

"It's good to see that you guys are up and running. But now that you're attuned to the gravity here, I need to ask you guys a few questions." King Kai said.

"Sure. I kinda owe you guys for helping me anyways. So what do you need?" Sora asked.

"That's very nice of you." King Kai said. "So first off, just where did you guys come from and why?"

"I don't mind but it will take some time." Sora said.


A couple of minutes later…

Sora had just finished explaining about the accounts of his journey and his reasons for coming. He told them the story about the Keyblade and his journey against Ansem. He then recounted his other adventures such as fighting Organization XIII, and his current situation about his failure of the Mark of Mastery and his current predicament. King Kai was amazed at his story alongside Goku as well.

"I see, so this Xeanhort interrupted with your exam and he tried to make you his vessel. I must say you really have it rough." King Kai said with condolences.

"Gosh, you guys must have really had some fun adventures. Wish I could join in on the fun." Goku said with a smile. He then turned serious and said, "But this Xeanhort guy sounds like bad news."

"Yup, and Sora would've passed if weren't for them fella." Goofy said.

"But now I have to ask, why did you come here?" King Kai asked.

"I…I…I'm seeking Universe Z." Sora said.

Goku was confused by what he said, but King Kai held an expression of surprise.

"Universe Z! Well, you're actually here and-"

"You mean this is Universe Z?" Sora asked to which King Kai nodded his head in confirmation.

"Wow! Then do you know any great trainers I can find?" Sora asked.

Goku was curious about what he asked about. "What do you mean?"

Sora then held his head down with a sad expression on his face and said, "It's just that…ever since I failed the exam I can't help but blame myself for being weak. Don't get me wrong, I know it wasn't my fault but…but…thinking back I can't help but feel I was going to fail even without failing."

Tears were then falling down Sora. King Kai could tell that the boy was sad and upset over his recent failure. He seemed like a very nice and cheery boy, while in the inside he saw a child who felt very inadequate of himself. King Kai couldn't help but feel sympathy for the boy; for he knew that there have been times where people have been sought to no ends. Goku however, seemed more sympathetic for the boy. In fact he was clenching his fists after hearing about Sora's story. He was a man who never loved people that were evil, and he hated to see people who felt like they were just too weak to help each other.

"It must have been hard for you. I can't imagine having to work towards something so hard only to have it taken away from you and having to be hunted like an item and nothing more." Goku said.

King Kai was in deep thought for a while and thought about the boy and what they should do. However seeing the boys determination and his potential, King Kai came to a decision.

"Alright Sora, I've decided. I'll train you." King Kai said that raised Sora, Donald, and Goofy's eyebrows.

"Huh? You really are?" Donald asked.

"But of course, if it's strength you seek, then I'm the man to help you." King Kai remarked.

Goku smiled at the idea as well and said, "Of course it is. King Kai is actually a martial arts master. Trust me; he knows a lot of techniques that I'm still learning to master. I'm sure he can do the same thing for you too."

"Really, you'll help me?" Sora asked.

"Of course, but on one condition."

"What is it? Name it?"

"I want you to make me laugh. I maybe a martial arts master, but that doesn't mean I can't have a good few laughs. Go ahead, give me your best shot."

Sora, Donald, and Goofy were at a lost. Make him laugh? Just how were they gonna do that? And just what kind of humor was he into?

However, Sora decided to do what he did best. He put his head down for anticipation. Goku and King Kai were ready to see what Sora had installed. And then, he did his magic. He immediately brought his face up and did a funny face. Goku and King Kai were silent at first. Sora thought they what he just did accomplished nothing, but it seemed to have the opposite reaction. In fact, King Kai and Goku were laughing quite hard at the face he just made along with Bubbles and Gregory.

"OHOHOHHOHOH! OH BOY THAT WAS ONE FUNNY FACE! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" King Kai exclaimed.

"Hahahaha. Man, you've got an awesome sense of humor Sora!" Goku exclaimed.

King Kai was laughing hard for a while until he finally calmed down.

"Oh man, that cracked me up. Alright, consider yourself my trainee."

"Alright!" Sora shouted while jumping up with joy.

"But first, you mind telling me your names?" King Kai asked.

"I'm Sora!"

"Donald Duck!"

"The names Goofy!"

"Well then, my name is King Kai. Hope you're ready, because when I'm done with you, you'll become one heck of a warrior."

"Thank you so much!" Sora said.

Goku then walked up to Sora and said, "Looks like we get to train together. I could always use a sparring partner". He then extended his hand and said, "My name is Son Goku. I'm honored to meet you and train with you as well."

He and Sora shook hands with each other. This was the beginning of many trials that Sora would face.

"Sora has a lot of potential, but has unlocked much of it. And I'll make it my mission to help Sora realize the strength he has inside." Goku thought.


Two heroes meet each other for the first time, and with this experience Sora now has the opportunity to train with Goku and King Kai. However, this is only be the beginning. What kinds of trials await Sora during his time on King Kai's planet? Will he become an even stronger warrior that King Kai claims? Only time will tell us if he is up to the challenge.
