Phantom64: I'm back! I forgot to mention to any Full Metal Alchemist fan out there that I haven't seen the movie yet (Hell I don't even know if it's out on DVD!), so that incident in the last chapter takes place after the Anime. So the world Ed was in at the end of the show has been destroyed.

Phantom64:I'm keeping the poll going for one more chapter. Plus I mean before you read the Ansem Reports. I mean at the beginning of the game when you were playing as Roxas.

Kingdom Hearts III

Destiny of Dreams

Chapter 2: Dream Encounter

"So Hohenheim has been captured," the cloaked boy said. "And what of his son Edward?" asked a cloaked girl. "I'm not sure," stated the third cloaked man in a much older voice. "That world beyond the gate has been covered in darkness. It's best to say that he's dead."

"Don't be so certain Zeltrax," The boy stated "When a strong hearted person's world is destroyed they either become a summon gem or by chance, marooned on another world." " I am more concerned about the guy caused this." The girl said. "I could sense the work of Maleficent and the Heartless."

"We must work quickly then. When Organization XIII was at it's high Maleficent was considered a nuisance . But now..." The boy was stopped by Zeltrax Who then spoke.

"Then we must summon the Nobodies. We can't do this on our own." The Girl protested this. "But Xemnas never branded us into the Organization! The Nobodies won't listen to us!"

The boy simply chuckled. "Don't you get it Xilly? Xemnas is gone. We are the new Organization XIII! "Minus 10." Zeltrax replied sarcastically. Xilly giggled at this.

"Still," the boy said in an annoyed voice, "I don't know if the King's lackeys are up to face this threat. He stared at Zeltrax. "Fine. I'll test them." Zeltrax said with a sigh. "And the Dream Warrior." The boy added.

"Blast it Ralix! Who died and made you King?" Zeltrax asked. Ralix gave him a cold, hard stare. Even through the shroud of his hood Zeltrax could see his glowing yellow eyes.

"Right I'm on it," Zeltrax disappeared in a cloud of darkness. "Now what?" asked Xilly . "We watch and wait," Ralix replied. "Aw don't you wanna go do something with me?" Xilly asked in a disappointed tone.

Ralix simply said "There's work to be done." "Oh your no fun!" Xilly gave Ralix a playful shove and walked off. "If you only knew," Ralix murmured as he watched a spiky-haired boy walking on a beach with a red-headed girl by his side...

Destiny Islands ?

"What's going on?" Sora asked himself as he was walking on the beach with his soul mate Kairi. She seemed to be talking but Sora couldn't hear a word of it. "Kairi? What's wrong? Kairi! Kairi stopped in her tracks and pointed at the figure approaching them.

Sora was shocked to see yet another Organization member. His face was shrouded in his hood. "Greetings Keyblade master." He began with a deep voice. "It is time." Sora called forth his keyblade Kingdom Key and toled kairi to stay back. But to his surprise Kairi was gone. He was then falling into the ocean as the beach disappeared. He landed on a all too familiar platform with an image of Cinderella...

Disney Castle

"So your names Stitch huh?" Ryo asked his new alien friend. Stitch nodded sadly. "Chope...Shadows take Lilo. Shadow boy take island, ocheepa" Stitch said in the best English he could say.

"Don't worry little guy." The king is investigating. He'll find her for sure." Ryo said to cheer him up. "Why I bet- wait..." Ryo looked over stitch and saw a door he never noticed before. "Where that door come from?" Ryo had been in the gummi garage several times and knew there are only two doors in this room. And that wasn't one of them.

Stitch climbed up on Ryo's back as he walked toward the door. It was a white door with a few gems encrusted on the top. " Ah what the heck. I've got time." Ryo said to his blue buddy. As he opened the door a large shadow hand grabbed him and pulled him in. "What the He-" The door then closed.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH," Ryo and Stitch screamed as they fell through darkness but landed safely on a green platform depicting

a woman surrounded by animals and 7 odd looking people.

The time has come Ryo...

"Who said that? Ryo asked looking in every direction.

That is not important...

"What's going on?"

The start of your destiny...

Suddenly a beam of light came down revealing a shining sword. (A/N: I don't feel like going into details, so I'll tell you now. It's the dream sword.)

Take it...

"Okay..." Ryo took the sword. He felt a great power surge within him.

Now you have the power to fight...

Suddenly seven Shadows appeared in front of them. Stitch jumped off Ryo's back and went into his alien form. "Grrrrrrrr. Shadows!"

"Are these Heartless!" Ryo gasped looking into the piercing yellow eyes. They moved in an erratic manner similar to a wild beast.

Keep your light burning strong...

Ryo, coming to his senses, took up the dream sword and charged at the shadows. He slashed horizontally taking out two of them. One shadow jumped into the air with the intent of landing on Ryo. Stitch foiled this plan grabbing the shadow by the leg and using him as a hammer and wacked another shadow repeatedly until both of them were destroyed. 'Wow, he's stronger than he looks.' Ryo thought as he cut opened another Shadow.

After destroying last two Heartless, stain glass stairs appeared one by one leading up to another pillar.

Go now Dream Warrior...

"Dream warrior? Hey wait a minute!" yelled a confused Ryo. He didn't get a response. "Oh well," Ryo said as Stitch climbed back on his back. Lets get moving. Ryo began to ascend the stairs

Somewhere in the World of Awakening

"Not here again." Sora gave out a groan. This is where it all began.

Welcome back Sora...

"You again?" Sora asked looking around the pillar for any sign of the person he had heard so many times before.

It has started again...

"What do you mean?

New enemies... new allies... a new destiny...

Sora saw rows of stain glass stairs appear in front of him, leading to another pillar. Sora ran up the stairs to the next pillar it was Belle's pillar. He saw someone at the center and he had a familiar blue creature on his back.

"Stitch!" Ryo and Stitch looked behind them and saw Sora running up to them. "Sora!" Stitch jumped off of Ryo to greet his spiky haired companion. "Whoa! You're Sora!" Ryo asked in surprise.

"How do you know me?" Sora asked the orange haired knight.

"Who doesn't know you!" Ryo asked with excitement. "You're the Keyblade master! The savior of all worlds! Oh man! I'm so lucky to meet you!" Ryo was starting to sound like he was meeting a celebrity. "Oh, and my name's Ryo."

"Well hi Ryo," Sora said to his "fan"

Do not let your guard down...

"You again?" Ryo asked determined to find the woman talking to them.

Shadows of the past will come back to haunt you...

Suddenly a gigantic shadow appeared up from the pillar. It was a creature that Sora was all too familiar with.

"Dark Side!" Sora yelled at the horrid creature that led the attack on his island nearly three years ago. " Uh, friend of yours I hope." Ryo asked with a bit of fear in his voice.

Do not be afraid...

Dark Side stared down at the two humans. The orange haired one he did not recognize, He knew who the brown haired one was. He let out a silent roar of rage and attempted to smash Sora with his fist. The trio jumped to the left, avoiding the attack.

"Nice to see you too." Sora brought out his kingdom key.

"Hey Sora," Ryo said as he pulled out his dream sword. "Let's double-team this guy!" Stitch jumped off Ryo's back and went back to his alien form and taking a fighting stance.

"Triple-team!" Stitch yelled.

As Dark Side was slowly lifting his hands Sora jumped and ran up his arm, and wacked him straight in the forehead. While Dark Side was distracted by Sora, Ryo went straight for his legs. This caused him to kneel to attend to his leg. He called forth Shadows to keep them busy. Stitch began to rip them to shreds. "Kika Mi!" Which Ryo interpreted as alien for "I've got this!"

Dark Side finally came back to his senses and began to fire energy beams from the heart-shaped hole in his chest. Ryo was hit by one but immediately got up and slashed at Dark Side's legs again. Sora hurled his keyblade at the shadowy colossus like a boomerang, hitting it right between the eyes. Dark Side rose up holding his head trying to focus. Stitch finished it by rolling into a ball and hitting him in the chest causing him to fall off the platform and into the never ending darkness. "Bye-bye!" Stitch said with a huge grin on his face.

Suddenly darkness began to surround them. "What's going on now!" Ryo groaned. They a platform Sora had never seen: Kairi's

This world has been connected...

"What the-, Who's there?"

Tied to the darkness... Soon to be completely eclipsed...

"Xehanort! Where are you?1" Sora yelled.

"Who's Xehanort?" Ryo asked

There so very much to learn... You understand so little...

Darkness began to envelope the heros. Ryo slashed at the darkness repeatedly but kept coming.

"Sora! What's going on?" Ryo yelled.

A meaningless effort...

The darkness enveloped Ryo and Stitch leaving Sora alone.

"No! Ryo! Stitch!" He began to yell as the darkness engulfed him as well.

One who knows nothing can understand nothing...

Destiny Islands

Sora woke up to find that he was back on the island with Kairi asleep next to him, her head resting on his shoulders. "Man, Was it a dream?" Sora asked himself. His experience with things like this mostly point to no. "I'd better investigate this." Sora looked at his girlfriend, who he loved so much. "Maybe after she wakes up." Sora said with a smile and closed his eyes.

Disney Castle

Ryo woke up with a jolt and checked his surroundings. He was back in the gummi garage in the same chair he was in. Stitch was waking up as well. "Geez that was one heck of a dream. Definitely have to tell Princess Sarah about that one." Dale ran in to greet them.

"There you are," The red nose chipmunk said I've been looking all over for you. Sara's fiancé Prince Alistar, is Here from Radiant Garden.

'Whoop de friggin do. Like I need any other reminder that the princess is already taken' Ryo thought rolling his eyes.

"Hey! Cool sword. Where'd ya get it? Dale asked.

"What swor- holy crap," Ryo was shocked to see he still had the sword he found in his dream with him. "It wasn't a dream!" Ryo toppled over his chair and landed on poor Dale.

"Hmph! I could think of a better test than that!" grumbled Zeltrax.

"Aw, Is Zeltrax unhappy because he didn't get to test them?" Xilly teased.

"Quiet brat before I-"

"Enough Zeltrax." Ralix commanded. "She did you job for you. So now we know they're ready. Does everyone know the plan?" They both nodded. "Good."

A capsule appeared and opened up to reveal someone inside. "Ah, done already. His will to live is astonishing." The figure opened his green eyes with shock.

"Welcome back, Axel."
