Lea, was incredible excited.

Kairi… was trying to look like she was excited, but clearly she was fidgeting, biting her lip. Slightly shaking.

"Wohoo!" Lea grinned. "You heard that Kairi, we are going off world!" he beamed. "To another world! Best training exercise!"

Kairi smiled awkwardly. "Hehehe…. Yeaah." she blinked.

"You are going to love it Kairi." Lea smiled. "There are so many worlds out there! And as keyblade wielders, it is in our power to go to any of them!"

"It is indeed." Merlin nodded. "That though is a huge responsibility, one which you could stand to take a bit more seriously Lea." he commented.

"Ah! Sorry." Lea stood up straight.

"And your team mate." Merlin pointed out and Lea blinked as he turned his head to see Kairi averting her eyes looking down.

"Hey." Lea spoke. "You okay?" he asked.

"Yeah I just..." Kairi swallowed. "Every time I have travelled through worlds… It was because something bad happened." she admitted. "When I was little… I lived here, in Radiant Garden. Then it fell to darkness, and I was thrust to Destiny Island." Kairi looked up. "Then… Destiny island fell and I was thrust away again… Riku got consumed by darkness and Sora had to go through so much trouble. By the end… I was send home… alone. All those worlds and we were powerless to stop it… When a passage opened up to another world again. It was you… You opened up the path, but it only lead to darkness. I saw Riku again but he looked like Ansem… Going other places. It always meant bad things were happening."

"Hey." Lea looked at her. "You are the one, who told me not to be afraid of it." he stated putting his hands on her shoulders. "Remember, that night you talked about the stars. Each of them is a whole world on its own, and it is all connected. I thought it was scary, you thought it was wonderful. And we were both right, it is scary… And it is wonderful. And it is not always bad things that happens. Sometimes sure, and in these times absolutely. But we can get through it." he stated. "With good comes bad you know… But, even with bad. Also good. I was turned into a nobody, but now I am here. I met Roxas, I met you. I got friends. You got this." he smiled and Kairi looked up.

"Yeah." She smiled. "I am still a bit scared, but we got this."

Lea smiled. "That's the spirit."

And Merlin smiled warmly, proud of how far his two apprentices had become.

Together Kairi and Lea were allowed to board what essential seemed like a shuttle… It was kind of cramped. There were only room for the two as they flew through space.

Lea though sighed as he leaned back. "Man. I will admit, being able to just teleport from one world to the other was convenient."

"It was a power connected to darkness though wasn't it?" Kairi asked.

"Yeah, we didn't really teleport we just went to the dark realm, traveled through the dark realm to the correct spot and went in." Lea admitted. "Only people who uses the power of darkness can do it. I seem to have lost that power when I became whole again. That's also why we seriously needed these coats, to protect us from the dark realm." Lea informed pulling out in the black coat.

"Still not going to take that off?" Kairi asked.

Lea exhaled. "Not yet." he shook his head.

"Are you sure you need it?" Kairi asked. "You say it protects you from darkness right, but you don't use the power of darkness anymore. So what darkness is it protecting you from?" she asked.

Lea smirked as he glanced at her.. "The kind that would track me down and kill me for turning on the organization and making it possible for Sora to even get to Kingdom hearts in the first place. So he could Kill Xigbar, Luxord and Saix. If I hadn't helped Sora, he would never have gotten there. You would never have met up with him, those guys would not be dead. And before that I kind of let Naminee go, allowing Sora to be restored which robbed the organization of Roxas whom was way easier to control than Sora. I guess I really made a mess of things."

"Wow when you put it like that, it sure was a good thing you were around." Kairi blinked.

Lea chuckled. "Hey don't think to highly of it, at the time, I was only serving my own agenda. No one else's. And I guess I kind of still am. I am never going to be such a goodie tooshoe as You, Sora or Riku."

Kairi smirked. "So tell me, Lea. What is your agenda right now exactly?" she asked.

"Duh, protect my friends." Lea rolled his eyes. "I told you already didn't I?"

Kairi grinned, then looked forward and saw a star become bigger and bigger. "Woah, we are approaching the other world… Where are we going anyway?" she asked.

"No clue, I haven't been at this place before." Lea admitted.

"Seriously?" Kairi asked.

Lea exhaled. "Look, I've been to a lot of places. Dusins… But there are an infinite number of worlds out there. What made you think I would just know all of them?" he asked.

"Oh." Kairi realised then she looked forward as suddenly, their shuttle started to shake. "What.. What's happening?"

Lea blinked and he bowed over. "The shields… They are not holding."

"WHAT?!" Kairi asked.

"Merlin! Did you give us a piece of junk?!" Lea hissed as he grabbed the steering wheel only for the whole thing to shake.

"Lea?" Kairi asked. "LEA!"

"Darn it! DARN IT!" Lea shouted and then, a white light forcing Lea to cover his eyes and Kairi as well, then… The shuttle exploded and the two were in a free fall.

"LEAAAAAAA!" Kairi screamed.

Lea reached out and grabbed her hand pulling her in. "It's all right!" he exclaimed. "I can handle this!" he assured as he looked down then his eyes widened. "Oh no."

"What?" Kairi asked.

"It's… The ocean." Lea swallowed. "It's… WATER!"

And Kairi as well wide-eyed looked to see it was true, they were zooming towards the blue waves of the ocean.

They might survive this yet, Lea though seemed to have gone pale.

"Funny thing about fire and water.." Lea swallowed. "They don't tend to mix." and Kairis eyes widened as suddenly, they hit the surface and fell down into the water

Originally I wanted them to go into "Coco." because i LOVE that movie. And seeing Lea and Kairi as skeletons with paintings on them would be wicked cool.
But... I had an easier time figuring a story around this one. Also something that has to do with Lea and Kairi actually working together and do stuff, so that is why.

Maybe they'll go have a tequila sunrise at Coco's place afterwards. Or... Lea can have a tequila sunrise and Kairi can have a orange juice. In a pineapple though! Pineapple juice!

Also if you haven't watched Coco... go watch Coco... It's so good. It's the best Pixar movie since "Inside out." and "Inside out" is the best pixar movie since "Toy Story 3." which came out right after "Up" which is... one of the most amazing movies ever. But would be STUPIDLY difficult to write a Kingdom Hearts plot around... Would be sort of amusing though. Having Carl fight a thousand heartless with his cane XD
