Legion 3

The sunlight felt good on Sora. He was lying on the beach, near where the waves crashed against the shore. He was far enough away to not get wet. It was very enjoyable. His hands were behind his head and his eyes were closed. The warmth from the sun was very pleasing. He had not seen Kairi or Riku yet. Both were busy doing something and could not meet up with him. For right now, he had the island to himself. It was very quiet.

A little too quiet. He opened his eyes and sat up. Usually he heard seagulls calling, but he did not hear any. Even the wind seemed subdued and the water crashing on the shore was very slight. He stood up. He knew something was wrong, but didn't know what. He walked over to the shack and checked inside, but no one was in there. He checked around the obstacle course and the area where Riku usually was, but no one was there. He paused for a moment and then thought of another place to look. He ran back through the shack and went up some stairs. He followed the path around and saw the entrance for the secret cove. He had not visited that place for a while. The last time he could remember was when he saw the drawing Kairi had made. He entered the cave.

It was dark, but not dark enough so he could not see anything. All the drawings were still etched on the wall. He knew he had been here many times before, and he should not be scared, but he was nervous for some reason. The wooden door was still in its same spot, as it always had been. He looked at it for a moment, and then started to turn away, when he heard a noise behind him. He turned around to the door. A person in a black cloak stood in front of him, between himself and the door.

"Who are you?" Sora said.

"A visitor," He said. "Maybe even a friend."

"What do you want?"

"I need you Keyblade Master. That is why I called you here to assist me."

"What for?" Sora demanded to know. "Are you with Organization 13?"

"I would never deal with them," The man said. "But I wish to help you."

"What are you talking about?"

"As you know, Organization 13 were a group of Nobodies bent on becoming whole again," The man explained. "To do that, they wanted to use the power of Kingdom Hearts. Of course, you stopped them. But not all Nobodies want to use the power from Kingdom Hearts to become complete."

"Do you mean there are more Nobodies besides the Organization?" Sora said.

"Correct. This is a new group of Nobodies, who started operations while you stopped the Organization. They call themselves Legion 5."

"Only five of them? That shouldn't be too hard."

"Do not get so cocky, Keyblade Master," The man said. "Though they number only 5, their individual strength is greater than even the strongest member of the Organization."

Sora thought back to his battles with Xaldin, Saix, Demyx and Xemnas. "So what can I do?"

"You must stop the Legion 5, Sora," The man said. "Kingdom Hearts may not be in direct danger, but there is more than one way to use its power. These Nobodies are searching for items of power, to use as a catalyst to become complete. They search throughout different worlds for these items. Once the items are found they take it back with them and to make sure they receive no more interference, they destroy the world afterwards."

"It doesn't sound like Kingdom Hearts is in any trouble."

"Not immediately, but it will be." The man said. "I have had experience with the Legion's leader. Knowing him, he will seek to use Kingdom Hearts to gain ultimate power once he becomes whole. If it were not for their brutal efforts to become whole they would not be an issue, but they must be stopped."

"How do you know so much about their leader?"

"He is my brother," The man said. "Like him, I am a Nobody as well."

"But if you're a Nobody, why are you against him?" Sora said, not understanding.

"If corrupting worlds and taking the lives of innocents is the only way to become whole, I want no part of it. Not all Nobodies wish to become whole. Or at least, not immediately."

"Can you tell me the leader of the Legion's name?"

"I cannot."

"Why?" Sora wanted to know.

"Because if I do, it might change your course of actions."
"What's that suppose to mean?"

"I've said to much already," The man said. "Will you accept this task?"

"Of course."

"I knew you would," The man said. "I have arranged a Gummi ship as transportation." He tossed something to Sora. It was a Gummi block, but it had a small red button. "Press that when you want to summon your ship to you."

"Aren't you coming with me?"

"I cannot," The man said, almost regretfully. "It will jeopardize your quest. You must be off. I will transport you to the ship now. Your ship will guide you to where you need to go." He raised his hand toward Sora. A ring of light surrounded him.

"But wait, can't you tell me who you are?" Sora said.

"All you need to know," The man said as he removed his hood. He had white skin with yellow eyes. Silver-white hair was slicked back. "Is that I'm a friend."

Sora vanished in a flash of light and so too did his friend."
