Alright alright! We've got another chapter for you guys! Finally getting into the good KH1 stuff! Enjoy!

'A Keyblade' Both Ventus and Vanitas muttered at the same time, astonishment and surprise in their voices.

Sora blinked a few times as he continued to stare at the object before him. "A keyblade? What's that?"

'It's the object that you are holding of course!' Vanitas snarked.

"I get that… but what exactly is a… keyblade?" Sora then decided to ask.

'It's a special weapon,' Ventus started to explain. 'But… ah! I remembered something!"

"What did you remember?" Sora asked, eager and curious what Ventus had remembered.

"Vanitas and I… we both had keyblades,' Ventus replied simply

'Of course my keyblade was better than his,' Vanitas said smugly.

'That's not relevant right now! What is though… how does Sora have a keyblade? Is it because of us?'

Before Sora or Vanitas could say anything, Sora noticed that the Heartless creatures were closing in on him. Instinctively he swung at them, as if he were still holding his wooden sword. Much to his surprise the keyblade actually struck and knocked back the little shadows. Sora swung the keyblade a few more times at the Heartless until all of them around him were gone.

"Whoa…" Sora muttered as he examined the keyblade again.

'Woo! You go Sora! Teach those Heatless a lesson!'

"So the keyblade can take those things out? But what were you saying? About me having a keyblade?"

'We can discuss this later when we're not fighting.'

"Oh yeah. Plus we gotta find Kairi!" Sora said as he turned around. He looked around where he thought she could be. A moment later his eyes fell upon the entrance to the secret hideout. He started to run over there, slicing through any Heartless that now came at him.

Once he made it there he ran inside all the way to the back area. There he saw Kairi standing in front of the blank door. With his heart pounding he called out to her. "Kairi! There you are!"

Slowly Kairi turned around to face him. Sora let out a gasp as he saw her face. She looked completely exhausted and her eyes looked almost empty. "Sora…" she muttered softly as she slowly staggered forward.

Before Sora could replied, the door behind her burst open and a powerful wind knocked into her. She was sent flying right towards Sora. Sora opened his arms though, ready to catch her. But just as it seemed he was going to hold on to her… she vanished into thin air. Sora let out a gasp as the wind became too much for him to stand again.

Sora let out a yell as he was sent backwards through the cave. He landed on the ground a second later. But what he now saw around him made his jaw drop. The island was no longer an island. The sky was dark with streaks of purple and red, with the large org still high above. Looking below the area of sand he landed on, he saw that there was nothing below him. There was no water or anything, just a dark void. Pieces of the island floated all around though as debris floated up to the orb.

"Wh-What's happening!?" Sora shouted as his eyes grew wide with fear. Never before had he ever seen something quite like this.

'Darkness… this world is being consumed.' Vanitas answered.

Sora gasped. "Being consumed?!"

'Yes.'

"But how?" Sora asked as he looked at what was left of the island.

When he fully looked around though, he saw a large creature standing behind him. It must have been at least several stories tall. It looked sort of similar to the Heartless he had seen before, but this was towered over him. But it still had those eerie glowing yellow eyes.

"Is that another Heartless?" Sora said as he stood up and slowly took a few steps back.

'Yeah.'

"What sh-should I do?" Sora questioned as he felt his hands trembling. Taking out the small and little Heartless seemed simple enough, but this was something else entirely.

'Lay the smackdown on it obviously.'

'We have to defeat it.'

"B-But… I've never fought anything like that before! I don't know if I can do it!"

'You have to fight it. If you don't fight against it than it will steal your heart.'

'You can do it Sora! We believe in you!'

Sora felt a warmth in his heart. He placed his hand over his chest and smiled. "Thanks." Without even thinking the keyblade appeared in his hand again and he charged right at the giant Heartless.

Sora hit the keyblade as hard as he could against the large darkness hand went i reached down to the ground. When he felt the chance was right he hopped up onto the arm and ran towards the Heartless's face. The more he fought against it, the more he felt like he was getting into a rhythm.

He had only fought with a wooden sword before and only against other people. He had never actually fought a monster before, but somehow he was doing fairly well. Maybe it was because of Ventus and Vanitas. They gave him the courage to fight this thing and not be afraid. His brothers made him feel strong.

The wind started to pick up more and soon more and more debris was pulled into the orb. Sora dropped back to the ground after another attack, and when he looked back the Heartless was being pulled up into the air, and into the orb. The wind whipped at Sora's face as he struggled to stay on the ground. As he felt himself being pulled by the wind, he tried to grab onto a piece of wood that was stuck into the ground that remained.

Slowly though he was losing his grip. He would eventually let go whether he wanted to or not. "I.. I don't think I can hold on much longer!" Sora shouted as loud as he could over the wind, even though he knew he could have just thought his words to Ventus and Vanitas.

'!' Ventus yelped in surprise as Sora's grip slipped.

Sora winced as his fingers began to feel sore from holding on for so long. One by one his fingers could no longer hold on and within seconds he let go. Sora let out a yell as he was pulled up into the sky and into the darkness of the orb. Everything blacked out for him after that.

'I wonder how Sora got a keyblade?' Ventus asked for the fifth time.

Vanitas sighed, the other boy wasn't going to shut up until he responded, was he? 'Repeating the question over and over again isn't going to help you find the answer.'

'Well do you have any answers then?' Ventus questioned.

'Nope. I am as clueless as you are… unfourntanly.'

Ventus let out a long sigh. 'Well… what about Destiny Islands falling to darkness? How could that have happened… You… You wouldn't have had anything to do with that would you?'

Vanitas would have gaped at Ventus's question if he had the face to do so, 'You idiot! I'm as much stuck in Sora's body as you are! How could I have done something like that?! Why would I do something like that!'

Ventus faltered a little. 'Ah… Sorry… It was just the first thing I thought of I guess. I didn't really think.'

'Of course you didn't think, you never do!' Vanitas snapped back, pissed that Ventus could think that after all these years he would do something like that. In the beginning, maybe he would had done something like that if he had the means, but now he wouldn't think about hurting Sora, or his friends.

'I just never expected something like that to happen. And we have no idea where we are now…'

'Obviously there has to be something else at work, such as that strange person we saw in the hideout.' Vanitas pointed out with a huff.

'I still can't figure it out though. There was… some familiarity from that person… but I can't figure out what…'

Vanitas gave a small hum of agreement, there was a strange sense of familiarity, but… there was also a strange feeling of fear. As if he should avoid the person, to not make them angry.

'I just hope Sora wakes up soon…I have no idea how long he had been out now…'

Vanitas remained quiet at that.

Moments later they could sense Sora was walking up. They heard him groan as his eyes slowly began to open, giving Ventus and Vanitas a chance to finally see where they were. Sora blinked slowly though everything was still a slight bit out of focus. There was one thing though… a happy dog was sitting in front of Sora.

Sora groaned as his eyes slowly started to close again. "What a dream…"

'Sora! Don't go falling asleep on us again!' Ven shouted, but Sora continued to drift off.

The dog though then decided to pounce on Sora, waking him up for sure. He grunted before his eyes shot wide open.

"Ah! T-This isn't a dream!"

'Of course it isn't! Now we need to figure out where we are,' Vanitas stated

"Yeah…" Sora muttered as he stood up. "But… just where is this place?" None of the building around Sora looked familiar at all. Sora hummed for a moment before looking at the dog.

"Hey, do you know where we are?"

The dog sat there for a moment before it turned and ran off to someplace here. Sora just stood there and watched before the dog was out of sight.

'Perhaps we should follow it?'

"I guess so," Sora thought as he started to walk in the direction he had seen the dog good. When he rounded the corner, he exited out of the alleyway and his eyes widened at what he saw before him. He was now standing in what looked like to be a quiet, peaceful town. There was cobblestone ground and lamp posts spread throughout the area.

"Whoa…" Sora mumbled. "This is… this is another world. Right?"

'Obviously.'

'It doesn't look like Destiny Islands.'

"But…" Sora started to say until he noticed that were where a few people around in the section down a fly of stairs. He changed his words into his thoughts to continue to conversation. "But what world is it? Do you guys know?"

'No I do not recognize this place.'

'Same, I don't remember this place.'

"Oh… Well I hope we can figure it out. We.. We also have to find out what happened to Riku and Kairi…" Sora thought to the other two before letting out a long sigh.

The two stayed silent, though Sora could feel their worry and mild concern. Sora took in a few deep breaths as he tried to relax himself. He knew he was now in a new world and was separated from Riku and Kairi. Since Ventus and Vanitas had told him that there were many worlds out there Sora had to figure that there was a change he was the only one from his islands here. He didn't want to give up hope though, he knew that Ventus and Vanitas wouldn't want him to do that. So he stood up straight and started to look around the area.

"Where should we look first then?" Sora asked.

'We should be discrete, we don't know if these people know about other worlds or not,' Vanitas cautioned.

"Oh yeah that's right. You guys told me that you aren't really suppose to tell others that right?" Sora said, trying to recall conversations from long ago.

'Yeah, something about… protecting the world order?' Ventus said a confused note in his voice, as if he had a faint memory, but couldn't quite recall it.

"Ah okay. Well I'll at least try to look around," Sora said as he noticed a building known as the Accessory Shop. "Maybe we can at least ask someone if they have seen Riku or Kairi."

'Yeah, I'm worried… Riku was acting a bit strange…' Ventus said, and Sora could feel the frown on the older boy's face.

"Y-Yeah…I really hope he is okay…" Sora said, a worried feeling stirring in his heart.

Sora walked up to the Accessory Shop and opened the door. Immediately the main at the counter turned around and began to speak. "Hey there, how can I…" he paused when he saw Sora. "Aw, it's only a kid."

Sora pouted slightly. "I'm not a kid! And the name's Sora!"

'But you are a kid. Your only fourteen years old. That is the age of a kid,' Vanitas pointed out.

"So? It has word teen it is. That means I'm not a kid," Sora replied back as he stepped into the shop.

"Oka, okay," the man said. "Simmer down there. So why the long, face Sora? You lost or something?"

Sora shifted slightly. "No… I mean… I don't know…"

"What do you mean you don't know?" the man asked as he crossed his arms.

"Uhh…" Sora started off, hoping that Ventus or Vanitas could give him some advice about how to go about this.

'Just say you were with your friends and got separated,' Ventus suggested

"I got seperated from my friends… and I got a bit lost. You wouldn't have happened to see them would you? Their names are Riku and Kairi."

The man shook his head. "Nope sorry. Haven't heard anybody with those names come through here. But if you say you are lost. I take it you are from another word."

Sora gasped. He opened his mouth to try and say something, but nothing came out.

"Relax kid. Everyone who shows up here is from another world. That's just how this place works," the man replied.

"But then where is here?"

"This is Traverse Town. By the way, name's Cid."

"Oh I see. Thank you Cid," Sora said, trying to process all of the information he had just heard. "So maybe Riku and Kairi are here after all…I guess I better start looking then."

"Well, good luck with that. Hope you can find your friends. If you need any help though, I'll be here if you need me."

"Thank you," Sora said quietly. He didn't expect the first person he would met in another world to be so nice right off the bat. With that though he exited the building and stared up at the star filled sky

And now we finally got Sora off on his adventure. Thank you everyone for sticking with us for so long! See you next time! .
