(Disney Castle)

"Donald, Sorry to rush off without sayin' goodbye, but there's big trouble brewin'. Not sure why, but the stars have been blinkin' out, one by one. And that means disaster can't be far behind. I hate to leave you all but I've gotta go check into it. According to my sources, there are three persons out there with a "key" - the keys to our survival. So I need you and Goofy to find one of them, and stick with him. Got it? We need those keys or we're doomed! So go to Traverse Town and find Leon. He'll point you in the right direction. P.S. Could ya apologize to Minnie for me? Thanks, pal. Mickey."

Donald, Goofy and Pluto met up with Minnie and Daisy in the castle library, where Donald had read the letter out loud to everyone.

"Oh, dear! What could this mean?" Daisy asked.

"It means... that we'll just have to trust the king." Said Minnie, trying to remain calm, but there was a little bit of worry in her voice.

"Gawrsh, I sure hope he's all right." Said Goofy, worried clear in his voice.

"Your highness, don't worry. We'll find the king and this "Key"." Donald assured.

"Thank you." Said Minnie relieved, "Both of you."

"Daisy, can you take care of-" Donald asked before he was interrupted by Daisy.

"Of course." She said, "You be careful, now, both of you."

Minnie's eyes then lit up. "Oh, and to chronicle your travels, he will accompany you." She said, gesturing to something on a nearby desk. Donald looked to the desk, but didn't see anyone.

"Over here!" a voice called out from the desk.

Jumping up and down from the desk was a small cricket with clothing on. When Donald finally saw him he stopped with jumping.

"Cricket 's the name." he said, introducing himself, "Jiminy Cricket, at your service."

"We hope for your safe return." Said Minnie, "Please, help the king."

Donald struck a pose of respect by placing his right hand on his heart as he looked at Minnie and Daisy. He then noticed Goofy standing next to Daisy, preforming a salute with his right hand as if trying to say 'good luck and farewell'.

"You're coming too!" Donald shouted, as he hopped over to Goofy and dragged him away in annoyance.

The trio walked out of the library, through the hallways, and soon walked down a large spiral staircase that lead them to the castle hanger. While they were taking the steps down, Goofy and Jiminy were talking to each other.

"Gawrsh, Jiminy, your world disappeared, too?" Goofy asked, surprised.

"It was terrible. We were scattered." Said Jiminy, "And as far as I can see, I'm the only one who made it to this castle."

"Goofy?" Donald asked, trying to remind his friend about something.

"Oh, right… I gotcha." Said Goofy, realizing what Donald meant, "you mean while we're in other worlds, we can't let on where we're from. We've gotta protect the world border."

""Order."" Donald corrected.

"Oh, right. World order." Said Goofy with a sleepless laugh, causing Donald to sigh.

"Then, I guess we'll need new duds when we get there." Goofy guested.

(Gummy hanger)

After ending their decent on the staircase and walked through a small hallway, the trio arrived at the hanger were the Gummy ship was being readied for launch. Donald walked up to one of the speaker horns next to the launch pad.

"Hello up there? Donald Duck to launch crew!" Donald called through the horn, "Anytime you're ready."

The launch crew consist out of the twin chimpmunks: Chip and Dale, who had just finished the preparations the moment Donald called them and immediately activated the boarding systems. Two large white mechanical hand picketed Donald and Goofy upside-down from the ground and placed them in the cockpit, with Pluto jumping right after them. The platform where the Gummy ship was on lifted to a lounging path so they can depart.

Minnie and Daisy walked in the hanger to watch. Donald gave his girlfriend a dumbs up and a wink, than powered up the engines to full power as the doors to the launching path opened.

"Blast off!" Donald shouted.

Suddenly, a red glowing arrow appeared in front of them that pointed downward and a hatch under need the Gummy ship opened, chasing it to fall down through it, while Donald and Goofy let out they famous, yet hilarious screams of surprise.

Eventually, the Gummy ship popped out beneath Disney Castle's bottom exterior and charged off into space. Their destination: Travers town.


(Tim's Room)

Tim was pacing back and forth in his room on the mainland, deeply in thought. He has been like this since he and Sora encountered that strange hooded figure, his words still ringing in his mind.

"This world has been connected. Tied to the darkness… soon to be completely eclipsed." Echoed the voice of the hooded figure.

"We're gonna get out and learn what's out there!" Echoed Sora's voice.

"A meaningless effort. One who knows nothing can understand nothing." Echoed the voice of the hooded figure.

"Why can't I get his voice out of my head." Tim thought, "What does he mean by that, and why does it sound so familiar."

He then sit down on his bed to think, but the answer doesn't come to him. Then, Tim noticed a faint flash of light and looked at his window. He saw something approaching Destiny Island in the distance.

"A storm?" he asked, than his eyes lit up and he gasped. "The rafts!"

He quickly rose to his feet, rushed out of his room, grabbed his boat and rowed as quickly as he could to the island.


(Destiny Island)

Tim soon arrived on destiny Island, and noticed the storm had reached the island. He then looked up and saw a massive dark vortex above the island, forming the eye of the storm. Tim's eyes widened upon seeing the vortex, as a long forgotten memory shot back in his mind like a vision.


(Tim's vision)

In his memory, Tim was only six years old. He, along with a five year old Richard, a teen and a little girl who looked like the once he saw in his dream, and two other kids that were in their beginning teenage years, one boy and one girl, were looking out of a window from a castle of another world, his former Homeworld, and saw a similar dark storm with a dark vortex as its eye. They had confused and fearfull expressions on their faces as they saw part of the castle and chunks of the surrounding landscape being sucked into the vortex.

The six kids suddenly heard a strange sound and turned their heads in that direction. They saw what looked like black portals made from dark energy appear only a few feet away from them, from the portal walked a dozen figures dressed in dark robes, dark coats and dark armors.

As the dark figures approached the now terrified children, a woman in her late twenties appeared out of nowhere and stood in between them.

The woman had bronze skin color, ash black hair that fades to a bright fiery orange and fiery brown eyes. she wore a dark red shirt with a fire print on it and a low v-neck, a black pants with silver markings underneath a dark brown, side open, long skirt that fades into red at the bottom, a dark rose colored lether jacket with gold and lavender colorad patterns, dark rose colored shoes, and around her neck was a neckless that looked like the one Richard wore. her left arm was covered by a gold with red piece of armor, and in her hand was a large key that was shaped like a sword, this weapon was known as a Keyblade.

"I will not let you take them!" said the woman as she took a defensive pose.

"Defending these children is a meaningless effort." said a robed figure.

"As you can see outside, this world is connected." said a coated figure as he gestured to the window, "It's now tied to the darkness, and soon it will be completely eclipsed by it."

"Not if I have anything to say about it!" the woman declared.

The woman charged toward the dark figures, who drew different kinds of weapons to engage her. The six children quickly run for cover as their protector fought off the dark figures. little did they knew that a few dark figures had broken off from the fight and vanished through a dark portal, only to reappear behind Tim, Richard and the other children. One of the figures grasped the teen girl's arm, catching them by surprise as the other figures did the same to the others.

"Mom, Help us!" the girl called out.

The woman turned around and her eyes widened. "NO!" she yelled.

The woman quickly dashed toward them, but one of the figures who was holding one of the teen boys created a small orb of dark energy and threw it at her with so mach force that when it hits the woman's chest, it threw her off her feet and into the wall, knocking her unconscious.

"Way are you doing this?!" Tim asked to the dark armored figure who was holding his arm.

The armored figure, which was a female, looked down to him. Even though her face was covered by a mask, Tim can feel that she looked a hole into his soul. "One who knows nothing can understand nothing." she said. Then, before anything could be said, a dark portal appeared around them and Tim's vision got dark.


(Destiny Island)

"Tim!" Richard called out, bringing Tim out of his thoughts, "You see that, right?"

"Yeah, I see it." Said Tim, as he looked back at the vortex, "Though, I wish I hadn't." he then looked back at Richard, "Come on, we have to find Sora, Riku and Kairi."

"How do you know they're here?" Richard asked.

"Well, their boats are her," said Tim, pointing at the three other boats duct next to theirs, "that's proof enough for me."

They looked around and soon saw Sora looking around the beach. They quickly rushed over to him, Sora noticed them when they got close.

"Tim, Richard!" he called to them, "What's going on?"

"I don't know." Said Richard.

"Neither do I," said Tim, "but I suggest that we looked for Riku and Kairi and get the heck out of here."

The trio than heard a strange noise and turned their heads to its direction, they then saw dark creatures that look similar to the once in their dream appear out of the shadows. To Tim's and Richard's surprise, Sora grabbed his wooden sword and charges toward the creatures.

"Sora, NO!" Tim yelled, trying in vain to stop him.

Sora soon came close to one of the creatures and swung his sword, but it went straight through it as if the creature was a ghost. It surprised Sora, but he managed to jump back before one of the creatures could slice him.

"Our weapons don't work on them!" Tim called out, "We have to find Riku and Kairi, Quick!"

No one had any objections to that and the trio began searching all around the island, but all they found where more of these dark creatures. Eventually, the found Riku standing on the land Plato.

"Riku!" Richard called out, "There you are."

"But, where's Kairi?" asked Sora, "We thought she was with you!"

"The door has opened…" Riku murmured.

"What did you say?" Tim asked.

"The door has opened!" said Riku, "Now we can go to the outside world!"

"What are you talking about? And what about Kairi?" Richard asked.

"Kairi's coming with us!" Riku shouted, he then looked up to the dark swirling vortex, "Once we step through, we might not be able to come back. I know there's no turning back. But this may be our only chance. We can't let fear stop us! I'm not afraid of the darkness!" Riku looked back at them and stretches hand at them in an offering gesture.

"Something isn't right." Tim thought, a small glare in his eye and he clasped his hands into fists.

Suddenly, a ripple of darkness appeared under need the four boys, that soon became a dark portal that began to develop them. Riku didn't show any sign of fear and let the darkness take him while still outstretching his inviting hand to his friends. Tim, Richard and Sora however, were scared out of their minds and tried to break free and help Riku out, but no matter what they did, it didn't work. Soon, the four boys were swallowed by the dark abyss.

Then, when all hope seemed lost, a bright light shined within the darkness and engulfed Tim, Richard and Sora. "You're ready, at last." A voice said through the blinding light. The next thing they knew, they found themselves on the same spot as where they stood a few seconds ago, with no sign of Riku. They then noticed that they had key shaped weapons in their hands, they where Keyblades.

Tim's Keyblade's name was 'Metru Destiny'. it looked like a fusion of multiple weapons fused together, colored completely in silver-metal-grey with some shades of red, blue, brown, green, white and black in some places, with the handle being black with gold and silver lines. On the bottom of the guard was a chain with a sigil that looks like a symbol. (This Keyblade's design is based on bionicle, the Toa tools of the Toa Metru, fused together.)

Richards Keyblade's name was 'Twilight of Mortis'. It's blade looked like an energy blade with blackish grey metal blade sides. it has a decorated handle, a round decorated guard. Two vents with two small energy blades between the guard and the main blade. The teeth on the top consist of multiple vents with energy blades. An flexible energy line acts as the keychain and on the end of it was a sigil with a symbol that is similar to the symbol on his neckless. (This Keyblade's design is based around star wars, a fusion between the dagger of mortis, the Darksaber, two types of Crossguard lightsaber, the symbol of balance as the guard, and a piece of light whip as keychain)

Sora's Keyblade's name was the 'Kingdom key'. It has a silver blade and teeth, a black handle, a yellow guard, and at the end of the keychain was a Mickey Mouse sigil.

"Keyblade… Keyblade…" said the destined voice.

"Keyblade?" Richard asked.

"Why those that name sound so familiar?" Tim thought.

But they didn't had the time to think about it cause suddenly, the trio where attacked by three dark creatures who jumped street toward them, their claws ready to slice at them. out of instinct, the trio swung their Keyblades at them. To their amazement, the Keyblades cut street through the creatures, obliterating them into puffs of black smoke.

"Amazing!" said Richard excitedly, with Sora looking at him with the same excited expression on his face.

"Now, it's our turn." Said Tim with a grin on his face as he took a battle stands with Richard and Sora following his lead. Then, the three friends charged.

They began swinging their new weapons at the dark creatures they encounter, preforming different patterns of slices and stabbing, obliterating multiple creatures into black smoke. But after some time, they got exhausted, and no matter how many creatures they cut down, more will come in and take their place.

"They're just keep coming!" said Richard after a while, "There is to many of them!"

"I agree," said Tim, "let's find Kairi and get out of here!"

"Maybe she is in the secret cave," Sora suggested, "we hadn't look there jet!"

They quickly rushed over there. Even though several dark creatures came in the way, they easily took them down. they run into the cave entrance and soon came into the cave with paintings. Just as Sora suspected, Kairi was here, looking at a large wooden door that has no handle and had no real purpose. Though this time, there was a decorated keyhole in it's center.

"Kairi!" Sora called out.

Hearing Sora's voice, Kairi slowly turned to them, but something was odd about her, she looked as if she was in some kind of trance.

"Sora…" said Kairi with a voice that sound half-asleep.

At that point, Tim and Richard knew that something was odd.

"What's wrong with her?" asked Richard, whispering to Tim.

"I don't know," Tim whispered back, "but I got a bad feeling about this."

Suddenly, the door burst open and a dark gust of wind blew through the door opening, the wind was so strong that it blew Kairi of her feet and straight for them. Sora out stretched his arms to catch her, but right when their body's made contact, Kairi disappeared like a ghost.

"What tha-!" Richard exclaimed.

Suddenly, another powerful gust of dark wind blew street toward them and blew them off their feet and out of the cave. They soon landed face-down on the sandy beach, they quickly recovered and raised on the feet and looked around in shock. The island was completely destroyed with only a small piece of land left for them to stand on.

"Oh no." said Tim, as he, Richard and Sora looked up and saw the red eye of the dark vortex that was the epicentre of the storm.

"So, this is it?" Richard asked, "Is this the end?"

There was a soft tremor and they heard a low growl behind them, the three friends slowly turned their heads and their eyes widened. Stand right behind them was the same giant dark monster they faced in their dream, and it looked as if it was ready to crush them.

For a moment, their expressions were that of shock, but then Tim's turned into a determent expression. "Well, if it is the end," he says as he summoned Metru Destiny in a flash of light and took a battle stands, "then let's take that thing with use!"

Richard and Sora looked at one another, they nodded with a determent expression on their faces. They then summoned their Keyblades and took their own battle stands.

The Dark monster swung his right fist at them, which they dodged and let it slam into the ground. Tim, Richard and Sora knew from their dream that this monsters moves were slow and that give them an advantage. Just like in their dream, the monsters hand got stuck in a dark vortex, from which the smaller creatures appeared and advents to them.

The trio split up, with Sora taking down the smaller creatures, while Tim and Richard attacked the monsters stuck hand. Once Sora was finished with the small creatures, he rushed to his friends and helped them attacking the monster. It managed to break free, chasing them to jump back. Then, the monster sat down on his knees and created a sphere of dark energy in the heart shaped hole in his chest. From the sphere, orbs of darkness burst out of it and zoomed in on them like missiles.

"That's a new trick." Said Tim out of surprise as he jumped to the side to avoid the dark energy missiles.

Richard noticed a orb was heading street for him and swung Bendu's Twilight, reflecting the orb back to its source. Tim and Sora saw Richard's trick and swung their Keyblades to deflect every orb that came to close to them. by every orb that hit the sphere in its chest, the monster groaned in pain. The sphere eventually disappeared and the monster rose to its feet. The monster than swung his fist at them again, causing it to get stuck in a dark vortex again and more smaller creatures appeared. Like before, Sora began to fight off the smaller creatures while Richard swung his Keyblade at the monsters arm. Tim then noticed an opportunity to finish the battle, he jumped onto the monsters arm and climbed up to its shoulder. When he reached it, he jumped on top of the monsters head. He turned Metru Destiny downward and stabbed the monster in its head, ending the battle.

Upon defeat, the monster let out a dying roar as its body fell limb and it was sucked into the dark vortex above the little piece of land. Tim, Richard and Sora then noticed that during the fight, they got closer to the vortex and it created a powerful hurricane that sucked everything that isn't stuck to it.

Tim, Richard and Sora grabbed hold on a piece of driftwood that was stuck in the ground and hold on the best they could. But the vacuum became too strong for them to hold on and soon, they lost their grip and where sucked in by the vortex, and with them, what's left of Destiny Island was claimed by the darkness.


(Dark World)

On the Dark World, which is located somewhere in the deepest and darkest parts of the realm of darkness, within the massive throne room of a gigantic fortress like castle, where three dark beings who were looking at what was happening on Destiny island.

One figure wears a black leather trench coat that is double-breasted and twin-tailed, with a hood that conceal his face, and long sleeves. With underneath, a matching set of black pants, shoes, and gloves.

The second figure had a tall lean feminine build, and wore a black dress with an red broad sash and black belt around her waist, three blood red cloths on the back and sides, dark gray cloths on the front, two cloths crossing over her chest, and red sleeves, she wore Dark red boots underneath her dress, which are partly hidden by dark red smoke that came from underneath, and around her neck she wore an broad choker necklace made from Platinum and Grayish-White fabric, covering almost all of it was an dark black cloak with broad sleeves and an hood. The only parts of her white skin that was visible were her hands and face, which was only partly covered by the hood, two silver glowing irises and straw-like honey-blonde that went down till ankle lenght came from out of the shadow that covered her upper face, her lower face revealed her blood red lips and scar-like lines that grew from their sides till her ears hidden in the shadow, and growing from her fingertips were pointy black claw-like nails.

The last figure was the tallest of the three, standing around seven feet tall. Despite the fact that his body was made from black and dark red smoke, it has the shape of an muscular man, with the upper body being stronger than the lower part, apart from that two fiery glowing eyes were the only part on his face.

They sat on three thrones that are placed after each other in a row, and shaped like an evil dragon head that was rotated 135 degrees down, making it look as if the dragon was looking down at the podium that stood infront of it, with the opper chair being decorated by large horn-like spikes, the throat section of the neck-shaped structure was an sickly green glowing glass tube, the neck structure was attached on dragon-like shoulders that held the structure standing, with it standing on an round platform with light wall panels on the sides. (The spikes on the opper chair is based on the Sith Throne from Rise of Skywalker, the glowing tube is based on the glowing Pillars in Makuta's lair, and the light panels are similar to those of an Imperial Star Destroyer)

The three dark figures looked at a holographic map of the universe that is made of dark energy. The map was split up in two areas, one blue, the other red, with the images of all the worlds that are in it. They watched as the red area moved over the image of Destiny Island.

"Another world has been claimed by the darkness." Said the cloaked woman with a low female voice that has a second lower, more darker voice echoing as she spoke.

"And it won't be long before our borders reaches our goal." Said the coated figure who's voice was that of an old man.

"Something isn't right, though" said the figure made from smoke, who has a dark demonic voice, "I could have sensed 'his' presents before the world was claimed."

"Are you sure, my lord?" the woman asked as she and the coated figure turned to look at the smoke figure.

"yes." Said the smoke figure, "I sensed his power, as well as the power of the Keyblade."

"Yes, I sensed it too." Said the woman.

The smoke figure waved his right four fingered hand and the map turned into a list with images of the dark creatures that attacked Destiny Island. Some of the creatures where red, meaning that they were defeated.

"It seems you right," said the coated figure, as he leant forward to have a better look, "something or someone managed to take down many of the Shadow Heartless we sent."

"Even the Darkside Heartless who lead them was defeated." the woman noted, looking at the image of the giant dark monster, "Impressive."

"That's a lot though," said the coated figure, who looked back to the smoke figure, "can it be that these new Keyblade wielders might be the chosen once of ancient prophecy?"

"If that is the case, than we have to get rid of them!" the smoke figure snarled, "I don't want anything or anyone stand in our way, not after what those other Keyblade wielders had done to us!"

"Shall we not first investigate to see if they really are the chosen once?" asked the coated figure, "If they are not, than we don't have to worry about them."

"And if we can get them to join us, than are forces will became match stronger," the woman suggested, "they did managed to take down that Darkside, something not everyone can do, Not even the strongest Keyblade wielders we're facing are willing to face one of those."

The smoke figure thought about it for a minute, "Perhaps you two are right." Said the smoke figure. He snapped his fingers and a second late, two dark portals opened. Walking out of them where two figures, one male, one female.

The male was around six feet tall with a lean build, he has pal skin, his head was shaved with only a few marking-like lines of very short red hair, and he has red eyes. He wears dark red robes under need a black chest plat that has a red symbol on it, black pauldrons, black gauntlets, a black leather pants, and black armoured boots.

The female is about the same height as the man, but has a body build of a Amazon, she has pale skin, long black hair tied in a pony-tail with blue streaks in it, and icy blue eyes. She wears a black tight bodysuit with blue lines on it, black shoulder guards with large silver skulls attached to them with the front of the skulls going over her breasts, silver lower arm guards with a blade over the elbow, black gloves with silver metal claws attached to the fingers, silver armoured high boots with heels and a blade by the knee, a silver belt tied around her waist with silver armor plats that rested on her hips, a black dress-like skirt that reaches the floor with only half a centimeter from touching it, and an elaborate headdress that bends down behind her head with the longest part reaching hip height to give it the appearance of a cobra's crest.

"You summand us, masters?" asked the woman as she and the man next to her bowed down to them. The woman's voice sounded as if two different voices spook at the same time, one voice sounded like the voice of a teenage girl, while the other voice sounded lower and more like a mature woman.

"Yes, Lady Chaos and Lord Phantom." Said the smoke figure, "We have a mission for you two." He then waved his hand and a smaller version of their map appeared in front of the two apprentices. "As you two can see, another world is now under our control. But we sensed the power of my Brother on it before the darkness claimed it."

Five different colored dots appeared on different sections of the map. "He seemed to have transferred five people off that world to other worlds," said the woman, "even, other time periods. Three of them can summon the Keyblade"

"You want us to seek them out?" Lord Phantom asked.

"One of them is already within our borders," said the coated figure as one of the dots, which was yellow, glow brighter, "So, my pawns can take care of him." Another dot, a pink one, began to glow. "That one we can't sense her heart, he must have transferred her body away while her heart is already claimed." A third blue dot began to glow, "We will sent the heartless to see if this one is a threat, since that one is one of the Keyblade wielders."

"But you two have to focus your attention on these two," said the woman, as the last two dots, one purple and the other red, began to glow brighter, "they are the strongest of the three Keyblade wielders. They might be two of the chosen once."

"You're task is to investigate them, find out if they are the chosen once. I don't care if you do it from a far or face to face." the smoke figure instructed.

"And if they are?" Lord Phantom asked.

"Then you must make sure that they join us, they had managed to take down a Darkside Heartless, we can use their kind of skill," the smoke figure instructed, "and if they refuse, you must eliminate then!"

"As you wish, my lord." Said Lady Chaos, as she and Lord Phantom bowed to their masters. Two dark portals appeared and the two dark apprentices disappeared.

The smoke figure leans back in his throne as he looked back at the map of the universe. "So, you have found your champions, Brother?" the smoke figure thought, "Let's see how long they will last." He then let out a dark chuckle that turned into evil laughtern that echoed through the room.


Author's note: Greetings everyone, Kornox speaking. With this chapter, the real adventure is about to begin. For the following chapters, we will switch between Tim and Richard as they try to fulfill their destinys. Also, time flows different in each world, so, if one of these heroes take a few days or even a few years in one world, outside of that world it takes as long as how long Sora will take in the worlds he visits. Though, the question for now is, on which worlds are Tim and Richard now? Let me know what you guys think, please no flames, don't forget to review and I'll see you next time.
