Chapter 2: Halloween Dance and New Discoveries

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Realm of Ghosts and Humans (The Next Day)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Dude, Sam's going to kill you that you don't have a costume for the dance." said Danny's friend, Tucker. Tucker was also eighteen wearing a red barre, plain greenshirt and darkblue jeans. He tipped his glasses a bit as he pressed a few buttons on his PDA. Danny, wearing a red hoodie with a white oval in the center and a regular pair of blue jeans, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Don't worry. I did get something."
"Really? So, what are you going to be. And don't say Dracula cause I'm already being him."
"Nope. Something even better."
"What's better than Dracula?" said a voice. The two boys turned around to see an eighteen year old girl with long black hair, black shirt with a purple dragon design wrapping around it, black and purple skirt, black tights and boots.
"Danny's new costume he has for the dance tonight." said Tucker as Sam wrapped her arms around Danny's waist.
"So, you did get a costume. What ever happened to, 'Oh I'm not going to spend money this year on a costume, I'm going to make my own.'? Don't tell me you're being your ghost self."
Danny smiled as he wrapped his arms around her shoulders, "Nope. You can say I made it myself." 'Kairi would understand...I hope...She...would be perfect for Riku...than me...'
"So what is it?"
In a song like tune, "I'm not going to tell you."
"Awww."
"If you two are done, we're about to be late again." said Tucker, rolling his eyes as he pressed more buttons. The two looked at eachother and soon all three took off in a rush.

Destiny Islands-two days ago
-------------------------------------------------------------

"I hate to say this, but we must never tell Sora till until he comes back.." said a small figure in a black trenchcoat. Another one, much taller than the other, was in a black trenchcoat as well. They were both standing infront of a gravestone within a graveyard. Upon the stone read:

Kairi Hikari Lycronos
1987-2005
Forever be the light to all and the Princess of the Heart
of Radiant Garden and Destiny Islands

"I know. But..."
"I know...you promised. It couldn't be helped. We couldn't get there in time."
"Yes. But still. I promised Sora before he left to take care of Kairi until he got better and returned. I feel..."
"Don't say that, Riku."
"I'm sorry."
"It's alright. One of us will have to break the news when he returns."
"Your majesty...I'll tell him." said Riku. The shorter one looked over and nodded, "I understand, Riku. I have to leave now. I'm going to go see if this creature is going to go after the other princesses as well."
"Okay..."said Riku as the shorter one turned and started to walk. A few feet away he stopped, "Don't loose hope, Riku."
"Yeah..I know."said Riku as his highness walked away, leaving Riku alone.
"Sora. I'm sorry. I tried, but...That damn nobody..." He pulled back his hood and pulled out his long silver hair and let it fall backwards down past his midsection of his back. "I swear Kairi, I will find that damn creature and kill it. If not, Sora will, if..."
Riku put his hand on his face, "God I don't even know if Sora's even alive! For all I know he's with you! Damnit!"
He pulled his hand away and looked at the tombstone. "Namine must be with you. Roxas isn't going to be happy."

------------------------------------------------
Realm of Ghosts and Humans
-------------------------------------------------
(Danny's Dream)

Danny's eyes slowly opened as the bright light hit him. "Hmmm?"he said as he looked up and looked around at the landscape. Nothing but ocean. It was the Destiny Islands. His original home. He looked down at himself to see that he was back in the clothes he wore before the creature attacked him. Before the virus. He looked next to him to see that he was on the dock and the water was showing his reflection of his true self. His brown hair was shaggier and not as spiked. It was starting to become like Riku's abit, only it was alittle past his shoulders. "Wow. For haven't seeing myself age in four years, I'm pretty damn handsome." Danny said out loud.
An explosion rocked Danny from his thoughts as he looked over. A large, black creature with giant red wings almost dragon-like. "What the hell?"said Danny as he shot up and looked. The creature looked over at him and then turn its attention to something else.
'Why does that thing look so familiar?'
A girl's scream was heard as Danny saw a girl of his age with long red hair, wearing a pink dress and white shirt like outfit. "Ka..Ka..Kairi!" Danny shouted as he shot out for the two. He tried summoning the keyblade, but the blade never came. He then tried to go ghost, but the white rings never appeared as well.
'Okay then, I'm guessing just run up and punch him wouldn't hurt...much...'
"KAIRI!" Danny shouted again as the claw of the creature was lifting up. Kairi never looked over when he called her name. The creature suddenly slashed down on Kairi.
"NO!"

(Real World)
"NOOOOOOO!" Danny screamed. After a few seconds, he opened his eyes to realize that he was standing up, his desk was doing a teeter-totter motion along with his chair. Everyone was staring at him with confused looks while some snickered.
"Uh.." Danny said after realizing what was going on.
"Well, apparently Mr. Fenton is taking the death to Mr. Scruffypants really seriously. You must love that dog, don't you?" said Mr. Lancer, eyeing Danny with a book open.
"Uh uh." Everyone started to snicker even more, "Yeah. He reminds me of my dog we used to have."
"Oh? I see, and did your dog die in a terrible accident and was your dog's name, Kairi?"
"Yes...yes. She was the best dog ever? A-and I loved her?"
"I would like to see you after class, now take your seat." said Mr. Lancer as Danny picked up his chair and sat back down. That was really embarrassing...But that dream. 'I really hope that wasn't real. Nah, I shouldn't worry. Riku said he would keep an eye on her. If not, she knows how to get to Radiant Garden and get help from Donald and Goofy. I shouldn't worry to much. Yeah.'
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Dude, what was that all about?" asked Tucker as the three were sitting in the cafeteria.
"I didn't mean to scream. I was just having a nightmare." Danny yawned, "Clockwork woke up me up at like 2:45 in the morning."
"Well, what did he want?" asked Sam, stabbing the lettuce in her salad.
"Nothing. Just asking a few questions."
"By the way, who's Kairi?" asked Tucker.
"Kairi? Oh, her. Well. I dunno. Oh, duh, I forgot, that's Dani's codename."
"Dani's codename is Kairi? That's a weird codename. Wait. She has a codename now."
"Um, hello, she's like what, sixteen now. I think she earned it." said Danny as he crossed his arms.
"Speaking of the devil.." said Sam as the three looked over to see a girl with very short black hair, an ocean blue bandanna, with one long bang covering her right eye. You can see her left eye was blue and almost the exact facial features as Danny. She was wearing a blue shirt with the number 20 in white letters. She also wore a grey jean jacket, dark blue jeans and blue chucks.
"What's up?" asked Dani as she sat down.
"Nothing. I heard your codename is Kairi." said Tucker as Danny's face panicked and started to make wild gestures.
"Kairi? My code name isn't Kairi. I thought my codename was Mini me? Who said that?" asked Dani with a confused look on her face.
"Clueless one." said Sam as Danny stopped. "He said that it was your codename."
"Yeah, he practically screamed it out in English couple periods ago." said Tucker. Danny moved his food tray and let his head slam into the table.
"What's wrong, cuz?" asked Dani.
"Nothing.." said Danny into the table.
"Um, cuz, I need to talk to..um...alone?"
Danny's head rose up and he looked at his clone, "What is it?"
"Just come with me.." said Dani as she got up and pulled Danny along with her. Tucker and Sam looked at eachother, shrugged their shoulders and started to eat again.

Dani pulled Danny over to the other side of the cafeteria where no one sat at. "What's wrong? Is something wrong with your powers?" asked Danny in a hushed voice. Dani looked around and said, "No, I've been getting control over those and I haven't been melting that much. It's been, lately, I've been having strange dreams...about you."
"About me? What about me?"
"Well, it shows you holding some kind of weapon. It kinda looked liked a giant key." Danny's eyes widen as Dani continued, "You were standing on this..strange platform that looked like it was made of stain glass."
"What did it look like?" a slight desperation in his voice.
"Well. It had a brown-haired boy wearing this weird black outfit. Weirder than yours, no offence."
"None taken."
"Anyway, there were other people in smaller circles. A boy, a girl, a duck and a dog."
"Dive to the Heart." Danny muttered at a very low voice.
"The what?" Dani gave a strange look.
"Nothing, go on."
"Anyway, you were just standing there. Oh, and that brown-haired kid had the same kind of weapon."
Danny, out of suddenness, grabbed his cousin's shoulders and said, "Did anything else happen?"
"N-n-no? Why? Do you know?"
Danny's eyes widen as he let go. He started to rub the back of his neck and said, "I've...been having them too."
"You think that they're connected cause I'm your..."
"I dunno. Listen, Dani. Don't tell anyone else about the dream. Not even Jazz. It stays between you and me. Okay?"
Dani nodded and said, "What do you-"
The bell rang. "Listen. We've gotta go back to class. There's something I'm going to find out real quick. If I do find out something, I want you to meet me at the harbor an hour after the Senior Halloween Dance, okay? If anything happens, tell me."
Dani nodded, "Okay. I'll see you then, cuz."With that she left.
Danny sighed as he ran his fingers through his hair. "I guess I should've expected that. Roxas had the same experience. Am I right?" Danny said to no one.

--------------------------------------------
That Night
--------------------------------------------
"So you are going to tell her, aren't you?" asked Jiminy as Danny paced around his room with his hand on his chin.
"I might as well. She may be another keyblade wielder cause of her being my clone. Roxas could control Kingdom, Oathkeeper and Oblivion and he was separated from me and he was a Nobody! She's already witnessed part of Dive to the Heart. Mostly Roxas's Station of Serenity."
"She witness anything else?"
"No. But I have a feeling that she may go through the test. She may actually be one."
"How is she going to react."
"Surprised. I dunno. What should I do?" Danny ran his fingers through his hair.
"I think you should. It's bound to happen anyway."
"Yeah. OH!"Danny looked at the alarm clock, which was reading 7:58, "I gotta go meet Tucker and Sam at the dance. Going ghost!" with that, he changed his form into his ghostly half.
"Have fun." said Jiminy as Danny nodded and flew off.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Damn Tucker, what the heck were you thinking when you said you were going to be Dracula?" asked Sam, who was dressed up like a black angel-like succubus with a shirt with many belts, exposed midriff and a skit that goes and covers the top part of her ankle high boots. Two black wings were perched ontop of her head. Tucker was wearing the traditional Dracula outfit only without his shirt on, pdas clipped on his pants and fake blood all over.
"Well..."
"Tucker..you look like Dracula is going to a PDA convention and took a bite outta Bill Gates." said a voice. Tucker and Sam turned around to see their friend Danny wearing a blackshirt with a zipper going down the center, black puffy pants with a black and white belt, red belts on the end and pointed black and white shoes. He had a jacket that was black and had some white it. He also had white gloves on with pointed fingers. At the top of the jacket was a crown with two white wings sprouting from it. Two demonic wings coming from his back and a pumpkin mask on the side of his face, covering his right eye. The mask had one eye winking while the other was open, showing a spooky green eye and a sinister smile. Two fangs crept outta his smile while he had a black shadow overcastting his eyes. His black hair was still the same, only had slightly white highlights.

Both their mouths dropped and left hanging for two minutes.
"Holy crap." said Tucker.
"Danny. You look..." Sam started to say.
"What?"asked Danny with a confused look, "You don't like it?"
"N-no! It's really cool actually. Where'd you get the idea from?"
"Oh, here and there." said Danny as Sam advanced towards him and tugged abit on the demonic wings.
"How long did you make that outfit?"
"Ummm...good question."
"It's cool, but it still won't beat out," Tucker covered himself with the cape and then flung it out, "Techno Dracula!"
"Techno Dracula? Tucker I still say you look like Dracula at a PDA convention after he just made lunch outta Bill Gates." Danny joked.
"Laugh why you can, mortal! Cause after tonight, you are going to say, 'Oh Tucker, I was so wrong about your costume. It's all the rage. No wonder why you won the four hundred dollars.'. What do you say to that?"
"Um, okay? By the way, where's Valerie? Isn't she your partner for this thing?"
"She's should be getting here any minute, I'll go look for her." With that, Tucker left with his cape flowing.
After a few moments, the two burst into laughter. "Oh god, he's serious, right?"asked Sam.
"That's Tuck for ya."
"Anyway, I'm stealing that costume from you after tonight. It's perfect for myself."
"Sorry. It's kinda custom made."
"Can't you make a second one?"
"Well,"Danny scratched the back of his neck, "It was really hard the first time and-"
"Monty Python and The Holy Grail! Mr. Foley! Put a shirt on! We have a dress code here!" Mr. Lancer shouted over what Danny was going to say next.
"So much for his idea of trying to win the girl's vote." said Danny.
"Yeah."said Sam as Tucker and Valerie, who was dressed as Dracula's bride wearing a black, gothic-like ballroom gown with fake blood all over her. She had her hair done up in a bun with the pony tail going through it.
"I thought you said you were going with Van Helsing?" asked Danny. Valerie gave a sour look while saying, "I almost got it done, till my dad found out and I had to make this really fast. By the way, thanks for the tips Sam."
"No prob."
"Besides, it's suppose to be a cou-umm..Danny? What the world are you wearing?"
Danny looked at himself, "What? You don't like?"
"I'd say it looks like you threw that together at the last moment. What are you suppose to be."
'A demonic keyblade master' "A succubus's...ummm. Sam? Little help."
"How about love slave." She said as she pulled him by the coat closer to him.
"Well now, I may consider that." he said as he turned escaped from her grip, got behind her and wrapped his arms above her shoulders.
"Mr. Foley." said Mr. Lancer as he walked up with a white shirt in his hand, "Please put this on."
"Man, this stinks..." said Tucker as he took off his cape and put the shirt on.
"Mr. Fenton, may I ask what are you suppose to be?" asked Mr. Lancer, looking over at the couple.
"Well..uh...I...ma..." Danny said, shifting his eyes back and forth.
"He's a demon." said Sam.
"Yeah. Wait really?"
"Yup." Sam smiled.

Radiant Garden
--------------------------------
"Unfortunately, with the death of Kairi, I've started to notice these creatures are making their advances towards the other six. Luckily, Riku and I were able to get them to my castle so that way the Cornerstone of Light would protect them. I believe some good has come of Kairi's death." said King Mickey as he stood infront of Leon, Aries, Yuffie, Cid, Merlin, Donald and Goofy.
"What good did a death of a Princess of Heart is going to come from all this!" Yuffie shouted abit.
"Think about it," Leon started to say, "At least no one would be able to use the princesses to open Kingdom Hearts."
"Not..really.." said King Mickey. The group gave a confused look.
"When a Princess of Heart dies from natural or not natural causes, a random princess would be chosen to replace them."
"So, do we know who the new princess is?" asked Donald.
"Unfortunately no. But I do know who the enemy is."
Mickey pulled out a small book, opened it up and showed them a picture, "Someone has been creating creatures that's a Heartless and a Nobody."
"A Heartless AND a Nobody? Is that even possible?" asked Cid.
"Theodicy, yes. If they still do not have a heart, they can be created." said Merlin.
"And,"said Mickey, "Something tells me, that the new princess is near Sora."
"Because he's the keybearer? "asked Aries. Mickey nodded, "Riku has already checked on some of the princesses of other worlds. Mulan, Anastasia, Sally, Nala, Nala's daughter and Elizabeth Swann unfortunately did not match."
"So what are we going to do?"
"Because of this new threat, we need to retrieve Sora and hopefully the new princess if she exists in that world."
"Okay, but how are we going to that? Yen Sid changed Sora's look to hide him the Heartless and the Nobodies." asked Leon.
"Donald. Goofy."
"Yes your Majesty?" the two of them said as they stood up straight.
"You guys along with Leon, Aries and Tifa go to the world where I sent Sora to."
"Wait. You mean to tell you knew all along what world Sora's on?"asked Cid.
"Yes. I'm sorry I didn't tell you guys. I had a trusted friend watching over him. You guys should find him through him."
"Sure. I'll go get Tifa." said Aries as she started to leave Merlin's house.

Realm of Ghosts and Humans-Few hours later
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Dani paced around the harbor, waiting for her cousin to show up. "Oh god, what should I tell him. I can't believe this happened! What am I-"She was interrupted by the sound of a motorcycle coming closer. She looked over to see one slowing down and stopping right next to her. It was black and had a green flames on it. The person took off his black helmet to reveal Danny.
"So, you did find out anything." asked Dani as he mounted off and put his kickstand down. Danny looked away for a moment.
"What? What's wrong? Danny?"
"Dani I-"
"Something else happened you know."
"huh?"He looked at her.
"Remember. If anything else happens, I should tell you. Well. Something did."
Danny gave a concerned look as his clone started to cry abit.
"Dani. What I'm about to tell you..." He looked away again, "Is going to change everything you know about me and yourself."
"W-w-what d-d-do you m-m-me-mean?" Dani stuttered.
--------------------------------------------------------
Radiant Garden
-------------------------------------------------------
"So..what should we call these things?" asked Leon as Cid brought up a picture of the dragon-like creatures.
"Somebodies..." said Mickey.
