Quick word read if you care or have an issue with the story.
For anyone saying I should remove Sid from this story, sorry it's not happening. I'm also connecting this to my other stories that have Sid as the protagonist. If you guys really can't stand Sid and you don't want to read the story anymore...That's your problem not mine so enjoy 🙂.
Sora stared at them. "It can't be..."
It was eight people. Technically 6 people and 2 animals.
"You guys!" Sora smiled brightly running over to them.
Cloud's cold glare stopped him in his tracks, and Cid's yell made Sora cringe. "What did you do?"
Sora opened his mouth to respond but was interrupted.
"We're still wondering that same thing." Riku said.
"Hey!" Sora exclaimed crossing his arms. "It wasn't me."
"Then what was it?" Leon said, composed as ever.
"Not me?" Sora lamely attempted to reply.
"Is that a TV?" Tifa asked noticing the box. "What are you even watching?"
Kairi shook her head. "You won't believe us until you see it."
"We're pretty much going through our first adventure." Sid explained.
"Oh." Tifa said.
Yuffie tilted her head as she spotted Ventus and Roxas. "Hey! Are you two twins?"
"No." They said in unison. The moment they realized what they had done both boys looked at each other, staring intently for a moment before sharing a wide smile.
"Could've fooled me." Goofy chuckled.
"So uh..." Terra cut in. "Who are you guys?"
Sora grinned. "I could introduce them all! That's Yuffie, and that's-"
"Hey!" Yuffie interrupted pointing at Sora. "Maybe I didn't want them to know my name!"
"They aren't enemies." Sora defended.
"To you." Yuffie grumbled.
"What do you mean by that?" Ventus approached them crossing his arms.
"Not all of you look too trustworthy." Yuffie's eyes were direction straight at Axel.
Axel opened his mouth to respond to that but was beaten to the punch.
"You guys don't look to trustworthy either, ya know." Roxas spoke up irritably, unlike Yuffie who subtly pointed to Axel with her eyes he straight out pointed to both Leon and Cloud. His little outburst temporarily startled everyone, except Axel who had a small genuine grin appeared on his face.
"Can't deny that." Yuffie finally responded. Leon tried to hide his annoyance while Cloud remained indifferent.
Sora and Ventus both chuckled and Roxas smirked.
"I think we may get along."
.
.
.
"So we're watching your journey?" Aerith asked. The keyblade wielders had filled them on what was going on. Cid leant back on the chair he was sitting in.
"Well it'll certainly be interesting." He mused.
Yuffie giggled. "I can't wait to see the part where-" She let out a squeak. "What the heck?"
"There's a rule," Sid began. "You can't say any spoilers unless they're revealed in the video."
Riku smirked with amusement. "Looks like Sora won't be the only one getting 'reprimanded' anymore."
At that Sora chuckled.
Leon frowned and crossed his arms. "That still doesn't explain why you guys are here when you have nothing to do with the story." He said referring to Aqua, Terra and Ventus.
"Maybe they do?" Kairi suggested. "I mean Ven and Roxas are identical. There has to be a reason for that."
"Yeah," Tifa nodded. "I mean I didn't meet you guys the first time around and I'm still here."
"Hey!" Yuffie shouted. "Why didn't she get buzzed for that?!"
"Buzzed...?"
"It wasn't really a spoiler." Terra said. "I mean it was obvious you guys knew each other so it wasn't new information."
"So what part are y'all up too?" Goofy asked looking at the screen. "That sure looks dark." It was black.
"Yeah," Cloud agreed speaking up for the first time in awhile. "Where exactly are you guys at? Timeline wise?"
"Right after Destiny Island." Sora answered carelessly. Aerith took notice.
"So if it's already showed the 'spoiler'. Then we could talk about it?" Aerith questioned.
"That's right." Sid nodded.
"So if it's after Destiny Island than this is right before..." Leon caught himself. "I see."
"Right before what?" Ven asked curiously. Then he remembered. "Oh-Uh nevermind."
"So could we get started already?" Axel asked impatiently. "I wanna see what'll happen next."
"Yeah," Yuffie nodded. "Plus it'll be loads of fun to see ourselves on tv!"
"It's not like you haven't been on TV before..." Cloud said in a small mumble. Tifa rolled her eyes.
"Wait a second!" Donald yelled attracting all attention in the room to him. "Don't we need to figure out whose doing this!?"
"Well Donald," Goofy began with a laugh. "I'm sure they would've if they could've."
"That's right!" Sora nodded standing up. "And when we can we will!" And then he plopped back down.
"Did anyone else get a little lost there?" Tifa asked. Aerith gave a small laugh and a nod. While Yuffie let out a loud-
"Yup."
"If I kept up with everything that kid said..." Cid shook his head just as the thought. Neither Leon or Cloud commented.
"So I guess it's time to start now." Ventus said sitting back within his seat and making himself comfortable.
The room was silent for a moment before it began.
The screen showed Goofy and Donald walking side by side in a new place.
"Is that-" Donald pointed to the screen openly gaping.
"We told you that it was showing our first adventure." Sora reminded.
"Yeah but-but-" The duck looked utterly flabbergasted.
"But what?" Sid raised an eyebrow.
"This is Sora's story!" Donald flapped his arms. "Why is it showing us without him?!"
"Do you have something to hide?" Leon asked narrowing his eyes.
"O-of course not!" Donald protested.
"Are you sure?" Tifa asked echoing Leon's words.
Donald opened his mouth to respond but soon found that he didn't have to. Sora did.
"Hey," Sora exclaimed. "Donald is a lot of things but he isn't a liar."
"Thank you Sora." Donald smiled.
Goofy gave Donald a questioning look.
Something above them caught Goofy's eyes. Noticing Goofy stopping, Donald turned around. Goofy pointed up and Donald saw what he was looking at.
"Look, a stars goin' out!" Goofy exclaimed while Donald's gaped.
In the sky a jingling sound was heard as a light flashed briefly in the sky.
"Do you think that was us..?" Kairi asked. "Our world?"
"Yes." Riku declared without a doubt.
"No doubt." Sid said.
Curiously, Tifa asked. "So what was your world originally like?"
"It was called Destiny Island." Sora grinned. "It's an island."
"Really?" Axel said sarcastically. "I never would of guessed."
Roxas sighed.
"Was there anything else besides the island?" Aqua questioned. "I mean we saw Sora's house, or at least is room. Is there more then that?"
"Well..." Sora began unsurely.
"Not really." Riku admitted. "There wasn't really anything special on our world to see."
"Are you sure about that?" Tifa asked.
"I personally think it was rather mediocre living environment." Sid explains.
"Sid's right." Kairi replied. "Our world just isn't that special."
"No," Aqua objected shaking her head. "It is."
"How so?" Kairi asked.
Aqua smiled softly. "Home will always special."
"Yeah.." Sora agreed finally, a soft smile on his face. "I guess it is."
"Come on. Let's hurry." Donald said turning to Goofy. Goofy nodded in response and they both started forward. Pluto, though barely noticeable, was at their side.
The screen panned upward revealing more of the town. Soon the words 'Traverse Town' appeared.
"Knew it." Yuffie smirked.
The screen went back to Goofy, Donald and Pluto.
With crossed arms Donald questioned. "Where's that key..."
"They mean Sora and Sid, right?" Ven asked.
"We've been over this." Axel groaned. " Duh."
"You don't have to be so rude about it." Terra said defensively.
Axel shrugged. "Can't help it. When I see-" He paused contemplating. He then pointed at both Ventus and Roxas. "-their face my first instinct is to be rude."
"Seriously?" Roxas deadpanned. " Seriously?"
"Hey, ya know, maybe we ought to go find Leon." Goofy suggested in response as they bounded up some stairs, Pluto far in front of them.
As Donald continued, Goofy stopped.
"Uh, Donald." He pointed to the accessory shop across form them. "Ya know, I betcha that.."
"Aw, what do you know, you big palooka." Donald responded without even turning back.
"What do I know?" Goofy wondered allowed.
"Goofy..." Kairi began unsure of how to respond.
"You shouldn't take what Donald says seriously." Aerith said in a warm voice.
"Ever." Yuffie added. "Never ever."
"Uh," Goofy frowned. "Not that I don't appreciate it ladies but I was really just wondering what do I know?"
"He really meant he doesn't know what he knows... How does at even make sense?" Tifa asked these questions mainly towards herself.
"I'm sure you know a lot." Aqua spoke up reassuringly.
"Do ya really think so?" Goofy asked bashfully.
"Defiantly." All the girls answered in unison.
Goofy chuckled. "Thanks girls!"
Meanwhile...
"Donald!" Sora exclaimed. "That was mean!"
Donald didn't even look guilty. "It's the truth!" This caused Sid to smack Donald's head.
"Still mean." Roxas pointed out.
"Ahem." All eyes turned to Cid. "The palooka, dog-whatever he is- was right. That was my shop."
"Maybe someone should apologize." Terra said with a smirk.
The duck glared. "I'll apologize the day Sora confesses to Kairi."
"Confesses what?" Ventus asked as Sora's face turned beat red.
Axel barked out a laugh. "Priceless."
"Sora," Kairi said with concern. "Your face is all red. What's wrong?"
Her hand went to his shoulder and Sora jumped. All he boys (except Sid) began to chuckle, even Leon smirked and Cloud let out a-
"Tch."
Kairi's brow furrowed. "What are you guys laughing at?"
"Nothing." Each one of them said. The other girls besides Kairi had equal looks of curiosity but didn't press the issue.
"It's just stupid guy stuff Kairi so don't sweat it." Sid said resting a hand on her shoulder prompted her to smile.
Goofy turned back. "What do I know?" He asked honestly unsure.
"Hmm... come on, Pluto." Goofy said to the dog as he walked forward.
Only Pluto didn't listen. Instead he was in the alleyway next to the shop, he went further in and soon enough, behind some boxes and barrels, he found something.
Slumped over yet sleeping peacefully was Sora.
"Sora again?" Ventus wondered. "Where's everyone else?"
"We'll come in." Aerith spoke reassuringly.
"That doesn't explain why it isn't showing Riku or Kairi." Sora said. Sora then realized something. And where are you Sid?" He asked.
"I show up later I bet." Sid answered.
Axel groaned. "Haven't we been over this? We're watching this from your point of view Sora. Expect there to be a lot of you."
"It stills feels unfair." Sora crossed his arms.
"How so?" Riku asked smirking. "I was under the impression you'd be happy to be the main character."
"It's not that." Sora waved off. "I was just curious how things went for you at this time."
A sullen look crossed Riku's face. "Maybe it's better if you don't find out."
"Riku..."
"Maybe we should continue watching," Aqua said. "So we'll meet everyone else?"
This seemed to divert the boys attention. In unison they nodded.
Pluto hovered over Sora for a moment before delivering a big lick to his cheek.
"Ewe." Yuffie said.
"What's so gross about Pluto licking me?" Sora asked defensively. "Do you have something against Pluto?"
"It isn't that." Yuffie explained. "But anything licking you while you're sleeping is just weird."
"Well-um...I never really thought of it like that." Now Sora looked grossed out. Cloud, on the other hand, looked annoyed.
"This is ridiculous..."
"Look emo god you're here and you aren't going anywhere until this is done okay? So cut the altitude." Sid confronted Cloud before sitting back in his seat.
At Pluto's lick Sora's eyes began to slowly open.
"Ah..." He looked around his surrounds and his eyes finally fell on Pluto. Pluto with his tongue hanging out and his tail wagging in front of him.
Kairi laughed. "Bet'ya miss waking up to me right about now, don't you?"
Practically everyone of the new comers eyes widened at Kairi's jest. Sid starts laughing out loud.
"It makes sense in content." Riku said quickly. Still, the looks didn't die down.
"What a dream..." Sora said in a groggy voice, his eyes began to close trying to go back to sleep. Pluto jumped on him, startling him awake.
"Ah!" Sora sat up staring at Pluto intently. "This isn't a dream!"
Sora stood up. He examined his surroundings more thoroughly.
"Where am I?" He questioned.
"Who were you asking?"
"Huh?"
"The only other person there was Pluto," Axel stated. "Were you asking Pluto where you were?"
Sora frowned. "I guess."
Terra sighed. "Axel, you know as well as I do he was just thinking out loud. Give Sora break."
Axel simply rolled his eyes.
"Oh, boy."
Sora turned to Pluto, bending down he asked.
"Do you know where we are?"
"I can't defend you on that one buddy." Terra said shaking his head. Sora gave out an awkward laugh.
"Please don't start." Roxas said to Axel. "Just don't."
Pluto pulled his head back in a smile before he turned around and began backwards from whence he came.
"Hey..." Sora reached out an arm towards the dog who abandoned him. Then the screen went black.
It then showed a man, an ordinary human man, he fell to the ground.
Everyone straightened up, alarmed by this.
"Whose that?" Sora asked. "I don't know him."
Cid scrunched his face remembering. "I think he came into my shop once or twice. There wasn't anything to special 'bout him though."
"I have a bad feeling about this..." Kairi exclaimed.
"Me too!" Goofy agreed bobbing his head up and down.
"But it does offer an explanation." Sid said.
"What's that?" Ventus asked.
"Watch."
A bright light emitted from his chest and out came a glowing red heart. The man's body faded away within a purple light.
"Did he just...die?" Ventus asked with fright.
"I..." Aqua began unsurely. She didn't have any answer.
"Yes." All eyes turned to Cloud. His voice was hardened and upset. "He did."
"But what killed him!?" Terra spoke up angrily. Everyone stared at the Wayfinder trio confused. Sora spoke up first.
"You guys...you don't know about the-"
"Sora." Riku cut off. His voice wasn't angry or annoyed, just sullen.
"I remember explaining it." Leon said sternly. Clearly he wasn't fond of the topic either. "Soon I think."
Aqua nodded. In a soft voice she said. "Good."
Then across from where he once was a new small light emerged. The heart circled inside it and then it formed into something else. A black creature with glowing eyes emerged.
"So that's how they are born.." Roxas said in an upset voice. Axel's usual hardened expression softened.
"You knew that Roxas."
"Still..."
"It's different." Sora stated. "When you see it."
"Really sends chills down your spine." Sid said with a shiver.
"Yeah." Roxas agreed.
"Could we just get this over with?" Kairi spoke up. "I don't want to see this anymore so.."
"Yeah."
"Of course."
Sid looked at Kairi who looked very sad and scared. He signals Sora to hold her hand to which he does causing Kairi to bury her face into his shoulder.
While it bared resemblance to the ones before, this black figure also had armor on him. After it took for it moved around for a few seconds. Clanking around as it were a robot. It disappeared within the same small light it emerged from.
"That's terrible." Tifa said looking to the ground. Aerith placed a comforting hand on her shoulder.
"That why we need to stop it." Sora stated determinedly.
"Hey," Riku said. "How' bout we have this conversation after Leon explains things?"
Everybody nodded.
The screen changed back to Sora. Walking in the same spot Goofy and Donald had been in before.
"They'll come at you out of nowhere." Startled by the voice, the keyblade appeared within Sora's hand.
"Real ominous entrance you've got there." Axel noted.
"Do you even know what the means?" Leon retorted.
"Of course I do." Axel huffed.
"I find it to be pretty laughable, like why do you and Riku try to act all tough in your introduction." Sid started to laugh causing Kairi, Aqua, Yuffie and Tifa to giggle while Riku and Leon looked pissed.
"You know he's sorta right." Aerith said with a grin.
"It defiantly felt ominous." Sora added.
"Okay," Leon began. "He-" He pointed to Axel. "-may know what that means but you-" He pointed to Sora. "-do not."
"He's got a point."
"Shud'up Riku."
"Who are you?" Sora asked. A figure walked forward.
"And they'll keep on coming at you," Clad in leather jacket with red angel wings on the back on his jacket, a man stepped forward.
"Wow!" Sora exclaimed. "Were those wings always there? Those have to be customized-but why would you-"
Leon's furious glare stopped his excitement cold.
"Gee grumpy much?" Sid said.
"N-nevermind."
A large scar ran across the man's face, with his gloved hand he pointed to Sora. "As long as you continue to wield the keyblade."
"As long as you continue to wield the keyblade what?" Goofy asked.
"Haven't you been listening?" Leon asked irritably.
"I was more distracted by your jacket." Sora admitted sheepishly.
"And everybody else?"
Sid cracked his knuckles and began to speak. "You were saying how they would keeping coming at Sora as long as he had the keyblade."
"They who?" Goofy asked.
Donald groaned. "You know who!"
"I do?"
"But why?" He asked himself, his hand on his head. "But why would it choose a kid like you?"
"Hey!" Sora interrupted. "What's that supposed to mean?"
Riku sighed. "You know what it means Sora."
"But-"
"Let's just watch."
"Hey," Sora responded. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Looks like someone hasn't changed." Yuffie laughed. "At all."
"Hey! Yes I have!" Sora objected. Yuffie looked skeptical.
"Really? How so?"
"I'm-I'm taller!"
"Is that all?"
"No!"
Riku chuckled. Sora had no idea just how much he really didn't changed. He also didn't know how much of a good thing that was.
"Never mind." He stated. He began walking forward. "Now, let's see that Keyblade." His hand went forward going to take it.
"What?" Take a fighting stance Sora yelled. "There's no way you're getting this!"
"You know things would have gone simpler if you just gave it up." Leon commented.
"To you or the other thousand people who want it?" Riku defended.
"He's got a point." Cloud spoke up. Leon didn't comment.
"All right," The man brought his weapon up and slung it over his shoulder. "Then have it your way."
He waved it forward and pointed it at Sora.
"You two fought?!" Kairi exclaimed worriedly.
"Huh," Sora laughed. "I always forget about that."
"I didn't." Yuffie laughed. "It was funny."
"Why would you do that?" Aqua worried. "You're clearly outmatched."
"Hey!"
"I'll tell you why," Riku began. "Sora's an idiot."
"Hey!"
"Ok all of you need to shut up because if Sora had his keyblade with him now he would knock all of you out." Sid yelled this caused everyone to stay quiet.
"Thanks Sid." Sora said with a smile.
"No problem." Sid said with a smirk.
A fight commenced. Leon easily overpowered Sora. Soon Sora fell backward with a thump.
"You know," Sora frowned. "You could've at least caught me."
Leon shrugged. "You could take it."
Skeptically, Sora said. "That sounded suspiciously like praise."
"It wasn't."
"Hey," Leon turned to his right at the voice.
"You found it. Nice going Leon." Behind him was a small girl. Short shirt, short shorts, a scarf, stockings, gloves, short black hair and black eyes.
"Me!" Yuffie smiled widely. "I look awesome!"
No one commented. Until...
"Wait a sec you called me an it?!" Sora exclaimed.
"For the last time Sora," Roxas said. "They met the keyblade!"
Sora huffed.
"Still..." Leon said looking at the passed out Sora on the ground.
"It looks like things are worse than we thought. A lot worse."
"Ah," Donald began. "You have no idea!"
"Hey!" Sora frowned. Riku quickly placed his hand over Sora's mouth.
"Be Quiet I wanna see what happens next." Sid said.
"Yeah," Tifa agreed.
"And I want an explanation." Terra further incurred.
The screen changed once more. We see Sid sleeping in alleyway.
"Sid!" Sora yelled.
"Sora!" Roxas screamed at this former.
"I told you I'd show up later and also…. STOP SCREAMING!" Sid yelled at Sora which causes him to sweat and smile nervously.
Sid opens his eyes as a result he is greeted by Donald and Goofy.
"G'mornin." Goofy greets.
"Um….. Am I dead?"
This caused all the girls to giggle at Sid while this causes Riku, Axel, Leon, CID and Cloud to rolled their eyes.
"Really?" Cloud said annoyed.
"Well how would you react if a talking dog said good morning to you?" Sid said with clear anger in his face.
"I would say good morning as well." Aerith said which caused to look at her.
"You will be if you don't get up!" Donald said with annoyance.
This caused everyone to look at him.
"Must you always be so rude?" Aqua asked.
"He was acting so immature." Donald explained.
"Still that doesn't give you the right to act like that!" Kairi yelled.
"Ladies calm down it's fine let's just continue." Sid said luckily that cooled the girls anger.
Sid stands up and looks at both the duck and dog.
"Who are you guys?" Sid asks
"Oh sorry I'm Goofy and this is Donald." Goofy introduces. Sid smiles in reply.
"Nice to meet you Goofy." Sid shake his hand. Then walks over to Donald and try to shake his hand.
"Nice to meet you Donald." Donald just kind of ignores me and continues to walk. I turn to Goofy. "He's not really the nice one is he?" Sid asks.
"Absolutely not." Kairi answered.
"WAK!? Hey I'm nice!" Donald replied back.
"No you're not. Sid greeted you and you didn't back do you know how rude that is?" Kairi asked while Donald becomes scared by how Kairi is acting but it's Sora who keeps the peace.
"Kairi it's alright we'll see the better side of Donald later.
"We better." Kairi warns.
"Donald's nice once you get to know him. He's just too busy focusing on the mission." Goofy answers Sid but this displeased Donald, so he turned to face them.
"Goofy!" Donald yelled.
"Oops."
"Come on Goofy we have to focus on our mission." The two begin to walk leaving Sid behind.
"You left him all on his own?" Aqua asked with concern.
"Keep watching." Sid said.
"Hey wait up!" Sid managed to catch up but Donald didn't like the idea of him joining them so he scolded Sid.
"No, you can't come with us." Donald yelled at Sid.
"Wow Donald." Sora was getting a little angry.
"What?!" Donald asked.
"You're acting like a total jerk right now!" Roxas yelled.
"Do you have no shame?" Aqua said with anger.
"Acting cruel and distant is never a good look." Tifa said as she looked at Cloud who rolled his eyes.
"Guys, guys relax. Let just continue watching ok?" Luckily this caused everyone to calm down.
"Maybe we should bring Sidney with us and there's nobody here, sure is spooky." Goofy said.
"Aw, phooey." A hand reached behind Donald. "I'm not scared."
Sora chuckled. "The should be good."
"Aw shad'up Sora." Donald muttered.
The hand tapped him on the shoulder. Donald screamed, jumping up and onto Goofy's back.
"Haha!" Everyone was laughing wildly by now.
"Hey!" Donald exclaimed. "It could've been someone dangerous!"
"Excuse me." Though you couldn't see her face, it was obviously a women. She wore a pink dress, had long braided hair and clutter of silver bracelets on her wrist.
Everyone knew instantly who it was. "Aerith? Dangerous? Pshhhh." Ventus stated.
At that Cid laughed. "Aw you know nothin."
"Huh?"
Aerith shot him a glare that shut him up.
"Moving on..." Roxas spoke awkwardly.
Donald was still on Goofy's back shaking.
"Excuse me." The women said. Her voice was soft. "Did the king send you?"
"When did you meet the King?" Riku asked. thought for a moment.
"That's a long story. Perhaps I could tell you another time?"
Riku smiled. "Sounds great."
"I wonder just who this King guy is." Ventus whispered to Aqua and Terra.
"He sounds important." Aqua nodded.
"And intimidating." Terra added. "Hopefully we'll meet him soon."
"Oh they have no idea." Sid whispers to Sora and Kairi to which they shake their head in agreement.
Donald stopped shaking and turned around to look at the women. Goofy did the same thing seconds later. Sid looked at the girl as well. It now showed the women's face. A pink ribbon in her hair and kind green eyes.
The screen changed to black, and remained that way.
"I'm curious," Roxas began. "What did you think about them when they did that?"
"I know what I would've thought." Axel smirked.
"Really? What?" Goofy asked. Donald on the other hand glared.
"Shud'up Axel!"
Aerith thought fpr a moment. "Oh yeah!" She finally remembered. "I thought I found the wrong people."
"But you didn't." Kairi grimaced.
"Haha!" Sora laughed. He placed his hands behind his head. "Now that I'm not the only one on screen I'm enjoying it a ton more."
Leon sighed. "I'm sure you are..."
