Chapter 1: The Three Keys

Yen Sid's Tower – Sorcerer's Loft

Sora, Riku and Kairi sat eagerly before the Mouse King as he began retelling the events that transpired thirteen years ago.
"Before you guys," Mickey began. "There were three Keyblade wielders trained as apprentices under the late Keyblade Master Eraqus. Their names were Terra, Aqua and Ventus…Terra was the eldest of the three, but he was led astray by the dark temptations fed to him by Xehanort after failing his Mark of Mastery. Which caused him to strike out alone across the worlds," Mickey sighed as he began pacing.
"It wasn't long after that when the youngest, Ventus, set out to find Terra after a verbal dispute with Master Eraqus. Yet little did he know he was major part of Xehanort's first attempt at forging the 'X-Blade'." As Mickey finally eased his pacing, his eyes met the floor with twiddling thumbs.
"The last of the three was Aqua, she'd been the only one of Eraqus's students to actually achieve the title of Keyblade Master. Despite her insecurities, she found it upon herself to try and bring her two best friend's home again. Though she never expected Xehanort to…"
Mickey's words were trailing off as he'd gotten somewhat teary eyed. Kairi couldn't help but give the Mouse King a hug at the sight.
"So I'm guessing, something bad happened to them didn't it?" Sora asked with a mournful expression.

"If I may speak on Mickeys behalf," Yen Sid answered. "Xehanort's manipulation is what led each of those three key bearers to a fate one should never endure. Terra fell pawn to Xehanort which not only led to the death of Master Eraqus, but also Terra becoming a vessel to prolong Xehanort's life…Young Ventus's heart was lost from his body after the failed attempt of recreating the X-blade…and of all cursed fates, Aqua's lone sacrifice led her to being trapped in the Realm of Darkness for these past 13 years."Upon finishing his tale, the tension of the room had brought silence to the Destiny Trio.
"Just what in the hell could drive someone like Xehanort to bring such hurt?" Sora muttered. "All they wanted was to live their lives peacefully, and yet some crazed old man decides to blow it up in their faces."Yen Sid merely sighed at the young key bearer's disarray before him; "Believe me Sora, Xehanort's actions were indeed absurd, yet for the longest I knew him he was always striving for knowledge. Knowledge of the X-blade that in turn became an obsession that drove him down the path of Darkness…"
Yen Sid then stood from his chair to gaze out the star shaped window; "That is all the more reason as to why we must save those three from the fate brought upon them.

At the mention of those words, everyone in the room seemed to perk up; Mickey's tears replaced by a cheery smile.
"Ah huh, remember that letter I sent you guys awhile back? About those who were suffering?" Mickey asked with a chuckle.
Sora comically scratched his head for a moment; Riku and Kairi both mentally screaming seriously at Sora's forgetfulness.
"Oh yeah," Sora said as it clicked with relief. "So we're gonna be going on a rescue mission huh…but how and where are we gonna start exactly?"
"An excellent question indeed Sora," Yen Sid replied upon facing the trio. "Whilst I've yet to find the location of Ventus or Terra, Aqua's presence stands out like a torch within the Realm of Darkness."

He then looked directly at Riku with a bold stare, "Master Riku, I am placing the task of rescuing Master Aqua from her torment upon you and Mickey."
After a startled expression, Riku gave a respectful nod to the old master. "It would be an honor Master, though how do you propose we reach our destination? The last few times we've entered that place has been by accident."
Yen Sid returned to his desk and with a wave of his hand, a projection of the worlds appeared in a puff of blue smoke. Everyone was eyeing curiously as Yen Sid zoomed in to the edge of the map where the darkness clouded. "I've arranged for a Gummi ship to take the both of you to an area of space where the boundary between the Realm of Light and Realm of Darkness is thinned. Henceforth, the coordinates will lead you to a hidden passageway for your vessel to slip through."

As Riku and Mickey let all the information sink in, Yen Sid turned to Kairi who had an eager expression on her face.
"As for you Miss Kairi, Merlin has requested for your return to Radiant Garden. With the coming times, you and Lea are to undergo the final stages of your Keyblade training. What that entails shall be revealed upon your arrivals."
Kairi simply smiled at the old master's cryptic words. "Of course Master Yen Sid" She replied; "Hopefully this training involves other worlds, I wouldn't mind showing Sora how far I've come."

Yen Sid then turned to Sora whose face was brimming with anticipation. "And as for you Sora, the worlds are in dire need of a Key Bearers assistance since your absence. With Xehanort's wave of terror is spreading like a plague, I ask that you take up your blade to purge the worlds of such despair."
Sora stood with his hand held forward; Kingdom Key appearing in a flash of light. "Don't worry Master, when the worlds see what my training's brought me, Xehanort won't know what's coming."
Donald and Goofy exchanged looks before glaring Sora in the face.
"Now Sora, you ain't going anywhere this time without us," quacked Donald.
"Heh, well Donald's actually right for once Sora, it's about time for another adventure," added Goofy.
"Hey what's that supposed to mean?!" snapped a clearly offended Donald.
Sora couldn't help but laugh at the bickering duo, "Well duh, I was already alone for 3 months who else am I gonna talk to?"
Donald and Goofy grinned as Riku and Kairi were standing with determined looks of their own.
"Now Sora, try not to save the worlds before we get back." Riku asked with a smirk.
"Are you insane Riku? Sora's too much of a lazy bum without our help," Kairi replied.
"Oh come on guys," Sora said with a goofy grin. "We'll all be there in the end to take down Xehanort right? Terra, Ventus, Aqua and anyone else who wants a hit at the old bastard."

Yen Sid couldn't help but chuckle at Sora's statement. "Well before you set off on your quests young ones, accept these as a parting gift." Yen Sid waved his hand as what looked to be 3 different armor guards appeared on the startled trio's shoulders. "Like the Key bearers of old, you now possess the armor to aid you on your journeys." At an exchange of thank-yous, Sora was more pumped than ever as he turned to his companions. "Ooh yeah everyone, I think what we need now is a proper send-off."
Everyone nodded in league with Sora's words; placing their hands together in a signature cheer.
"All for one and one for all!"
