I woke to see I was back in Monterey Bay at the beach house. I was in my room and the cool air making the room cold, but a great breeze. The door opened to see three of my sisters making a surprising entrance.
"Good morning Alex." the three greeted me.
"Good morning, you girls." I greeted back, as I looked at my phone. "It's 7:20 in the morning. You're up early."
"So are you." Marie spoke.
"Can we watch Watership Down with you, please?" Mae asked.
"Pretty please..." Olivia asked also.
"Alright, just don't crush my legs." I accepted, as I put on Netflix and the four of us watched Watership Down on my laptop. They managed to have enough room on my bed, as I could still rest, before our day could start.
"You're the best big brother!" I heard Olivia spoke. "I love you!" She than gave me a warm hug.
"I love you too... Olivia."
This time... I woke up, as it was only just a flashback and/or a dream. I was resting on a bed. I wasn't sure how I got here, but it was just a wooden bed. The room was small, but it was comfy. However, I still have questions in my head... how did I end up here? Will I be able to find my sisters and free them?
I got out of bed and I was still wearing my clothes back in Monterey Bay. I walked towards the door and went down through the stairs, as perhaps I was in a tower. When I got to another door, I started to hear a conversation behind the door. Lightly opening the door, I saw what it maybe a wizard with a top blue conical hat, with yellow stars. With him I saw two other humans and with three other creatures that I recognized right away.
"I know you're behind the door and you're listening... come right in." I heard an wise voice telling me to enter.
I lightly opened the door and I see faces that I remembered seeing in the Kingdom Hearts video games.
"Someone's finally awake." the dark golden young fellow with spiky spoke, with a cheerful tone.
"Ahyuck! You looked like someone has been through a lot recently." the anthropomorphic dog spoke.
"Greetings to you young man... I'm Master Yen Sid. And I'm sure you may know everyone else in the room." the wizard.
I looked around to see I know exactly who they're, but never met them.
"I'm Sora." the dark golden young fellow greeted.
"Riku." the silver hair young fellow greeted.
"Donald Duck." the anthropomorphic duck greeted.
"I'm Goofy." the anthropomorphic dog
"And I'm King Mickey. We're aware of-"
"Forgive me for interrupting. You all are reasonable, but I want information! Where the hell am I?!" I questioned them.
"Well my angered young man, you're in The Mysterious Tower. You do have the right to know what's been happening to your world... Alex Wayne." Master Yen Sid spoke.
"How do you know my name?" I questioned.
Another door opened up to see John, Hanzo, and Holly coming in and joined the conversation. "Not to mention from your new friends, but we have heard about the recent happenings of your world..." And Yen Sid closed his eyes. "...and your families demise."
My hands began to clinch in rage. Sora and the others expressed empathy, even I noticed Holly hopped towards touched my foot. "We all have suffered losses, sir." Holly expressed.
"Holly?" Sora recognized him right away. "I thought you were gone!"
Holly sighed and closed his eyes. "Not until I was brought back by those hooded coats. The Black Rabbit didn't take me."
"I'm sorry we couldn't be able to help." Sora apologized.
"Don't worry, brother, I'm feeling much better than before. After, breaking free from what we have been held by those black coats."
"They're back?!" Sora, Donald, and Goofy exclaimed in question and shock.
"Perhaps Xehanort is going after different hearts not from our world, but Alex's world." Riku thought.
"And your right..." Yen Sid agreed. "He's and the remains of the Organization collecting hearts from Alex's world for the final push."
"Wait a minute! I thought they should be gone and the Kingdom Hearts is unknown to all of us, but to assume it's sealed away." Sora pointed out.
"Perhaps the Organization members may have found another in the human world, unlike our own we have previously know." Yen Sid pointed out.
"Wait a minute, stranger! You're telling me that this kid's world has some big shape of hearts in the sky?!" John questioned.
"It maybe possible that it links to Earthrealm and the real human world." Hanzo suggested.
"What if it links to other worlds like ours?" Mickey thought.
"Whatever may be, the Kingdom Hearts must be sealed away from the human world, so they won't have any connection with ours." Yen Sid stated.
"My sisters... they've been kidnapped by the Organization members and the four of us escaped from their prison. I need to rescue my sisters and bring them home!" I proposed.
Yen Sid nodded his head firmly. "Yes... your sisters are caught in the crossfire as well during the merge. What we may know they're locked away and they may eventually become heartless."
"How could you that?! My sisters would never be those creatures!" I slammed the table with my fists. "They're too spirited to become one of them and I'll go to my afterlife and face judgement, rather to see them like this!" Everyone panicked from my rage, except Yen Sid.
"You must restrain yourself from your anger, Alex. Great power inside you is what is causing your anger. Which explains about what you have done to one of the members." Yen Sid told me.
"You mean the kid with the guitar looking thing?" John questioned.
"You mean Demyx. We had come across with him before and managed to defeat him." Sora remembered.
"Yeah... but don't take it too lightly, because he did came back."
"What?!" Sora, Donald and Goofy questioned.
"We even had a battle with him and those creatures that Alex briefly explained, but doesn't know the full detail." Hanzo added.
"Did you guys defeat him?" Donald Duck questioned.
"Apparently yes. However, it was Alex who managed to defeat him." Holly answered.
"Indeed, brother. He even used strange works that send that 'Demyx' to the bottom." John praised.
"You have greater powers stored inside you that you have to control." Yen Sid reminded me. "Now... your questions about those creatures you faced." He than used his magic powers and showed us a image of Holly.
"That's me." Holly pointed out.
"Yes... once you were killed, you would have simply passed on. However during the circumstances that you faced with..." Yen Sid informed him, before he changed the image into a heartless, gasping Holly. "If anyone, even Alex, yields darkness inside your heart. You'll probably could have become a heartless."
"I guess that's the reason why I wasn't taken... darkness inside me." Holly said.
Yen Sid nodded. "They always lurk and seek to capture new hearts, exactly what is currently happening to the human world. My advice to each and everyone of you is to never let your guard down... even for you Alex."
He than used his magic to show us another image that I recognized as a Nobody.
"Say, these are those creatures we have just faced with that kid." John recalled. "What are they?"
"In most cases, like the four of you." Yen Sid pointed at me, Hanzo, John, and Holly. "A strong heart and will- either evil or good become heartless, the empty shell they leave behind begins to act with a will of its own."
"Basically the soul that passes on without a heart. Going by it's own." I pointed out.
Yen Sid nodded. "For Nobodies, they don't exit; but may have feelings as they pretend to have hearts. You must not be deceived."
"Lost souls that lurk..." Hanzo said.
"Yes... and the creatures that you have encounter are known as Dusks, common forms of Nobodies. With different appearances that may be frightening and/or have strange powers." He than had the Dusks disappear and replaced them with the black hooded coats. "As you may know of these beings, these Nobodies are stronger than the lesser Nobodies and commands them."
The four of us nodded, as we finally know what they're and for myself, I started to remember what those creatures are and the Organization even better. "Despite of you four a potential team, you're going to need extra hand. You four may not be able to travel with Sora, Donald, and Goofy in their ships, but you'll company your team with your own gummi ship." Yen Sid pointed out.
"What- we're going to have our own ship?" I questioned.
"Yes, Alex. You'll have team from different universes, and one of them is currently is being sent to meet you there." Yen Sid answered. "You'll meet someone there by the name of Blake Ryo. He'll be joining you on your quest and he should already be there, waiting for you."
The four of us nodded. "As for you Sora, Donald, and Goofy, you'll be aiding the four on their journeys, while Riku and King Mickey investigate the human world to find any latest happenings."
"Oh wait, you'll think it'll be possible to find someone, if he's still alive." I turned towards Mickey and Riku.
"What's his name?" Riku asked.
"His name Jon and lives at the same city that I live. I just wanted to know if he's safe."
"We'll do our very best to find him." Mickey was determined.
"Now go... be on a look for every danger that you'll face. May your hearts be your guiding key." Yen Sid ordered.
Mickey, Riku, Sora, Donald, and Goofy stood straight and bowed, while Hanzo made the similar bow as well. John tipped his hat, while Holly and I simply nodded our heads in acknowledge. Everyone started to leave the room, as I was the last to leave.
"Remember Alex..." Yen Sid stopped for me for a final word. "... control your powers and abilities. If uncontrolled, you'll no longer be yourself."
I simply took his word and nodded, before I left the room and closed the door.
The four of us followed everyone us to a landing hanger, where there are gummi ships. Riku and Mickey hopped on theirs and took off.
"So these are the ships you guys travel?" I asked Sora.
"Yep, it'll be weird at first, until you get use to it. We'll provide you access to different worlds, since you won't be able to unlock anything though." Sora answered.
"I can't wait." I said with less enthusiasm.
"Hello fellas!" we than saw two chipmunks dashed towards us.
"Chip and Dale!" Sora greeted.
"Glad we have your ship ready Alex! Your's is next to Sora's." Chip spoke to me.
"Whenever you're ready, we'll head off." Sora spoke to me, as Donald and Goofy have already climbed aboard on the gummi ship that they and Sora share. The four of us looked at our ship, as if it was almost like the Normandy from Mass Effect. Adventure than awaits for all of us...
