Harry Potter and the Gathering of Worlds

By James the Fox

Ansem: "Arghh!"

Hello Kitty: "take this, meanie!" Hits Ansem with her wand

Ansem: "DIE!" Swings his fist at Hello Kitty

"This is pathetic... Without the power of Heartless or Riku on his side, Ansem fights like a wimp. Anyway... Sora and Shadow seem to be more angsty in this story."

"Just a note: Kingdom Hearts 2 will NOT have any effect in this story, save for the characters and events I choose. Eventually I'll write a Fic concerning the events that happen before this story. Look for spoilers for that Fic in this chapter. This is the last time I say this, save for when new copyrights emerge: Harry Potter and his friends belong to J. K. Rowling. Kingdom Hearts is Square Enix's and Disney's. Legend of Zelda is Nintendo's. Shadow the Hedgehog and all the losers belong to SEGA.The mage-fox belongs to James the Fox. Events/People that don't belong to these groups belong to their respective owners. Oh, and be sure to put in any fan characters you want in this story in your reviews."

On to chapter 5 of Gathering of Worlds!

Sora began to tell the tale of his battles against Xehanort AKA Ansem, leaving out or changing events he didn't wish anyone to know about. But in the back of his head, memories of those times returned to him, words from the past.

"Don't be afraid." But I am...

"I began my adventure in my homeworld, Destiny Islands..."

"Don't ever change, Sora" But I have...

"...and we found Riku..."

"We've been looking all over for you!" But you weren't you, huh...

"...And the Keyblade returned to me..."

"She will not wake." She lost her heart, and I couldn't stop it...

"...Ansem was there, upon a mighty ship of destruction..."

"A meaningless effort. Once again, you fail to comprehend my power."

"'One who knows nothing can understand nothing.' I believe those were the words of a foolish pawn of the Heartless named Xehanort." You were different, stronger.

The One Winged Angel...

"... and so I slept for a year to regain my memories..."

"I can't remake a promise I can't keep. Kairi, please understand." I returned to you once, but I wasn't able to completely return to you after that battle...

"...And I finally returned home, to stay. Until I came here, that is." Sora finished his story, the voices refusing to stop speaking.

"Behold the ultimate power of darkness, Supernova Meteor!"

"Just a little further... I can make it. I must make it!"

Kairi looked at Sora, knowing that he hadn't told the whole story, as did Riku.

"A keyblade that can unlock hearts...I wonder..."

"I'm no longer whole, I'll never be whole again."

I'm lost in darkness, no light to guide me anymore... except one. With that thought Sora looked to Kairi out of corner of his eye. Harry, still under his cloak, watched Sora

'There is something about him, but what is it?' Harry wondered. But something happened that stopped his pondering and heart. Sora looked straight at him, as if he could actually SEE him. Afraid that his cover was blown, Harry fled the room quickly and quietly. "So then, Link, You ready to begin your story?" And so, Link began the story of The Hero of Winds with the ancient legend passed down through his people. But elsewhere, there were forces that were ready to undo all that the great heroes had made…

Dark. That is the only way to describe this room, the room in which the great masters of darkness and destruction conversed with each other. "Shadow the Hedgehog, the Ultimate Lifeform. Do you really believe that you can avoid your destiny forever?" A dark creature stood near others of his own kind, not really the same race, but still dark creatures. "Can you actually conceive that you can hide your past from your new friends? That, dear Shadow, is impossible." The creature let out a horrid laugh that would chill the blood of any normal beings. But of course, the others weren't normal by any means. Another creature spoke. This one, appearing human, spoke with a hoarse voice: "Link, Hero of Winds, the Triforce cannot protect you forever. Soon, I will wreak ultimate vengeance for the deeds you have done. By not allowing your world to crumble as it should, I have been freed. All you know will be suffering…hmhmhmhm…" Another creature stood there as well, a monstrosity that comprised of a pair of tentacles, claws, and wings. It grinned with sharp teeth. A symbol all to familiar to the boy who wielded the all-powerful Keyblade was on his chest. "Keybearer, your heart, filled with darkness, will be our key to Oblivion. All worlds will be obliterated, once we have you." The creatures laughed, knowing that all they needed was to exploit the fears of their opponents. They knew that the other boy, the orphan who defied the Evil Wizard of the wizard-school, was no threat to them. The Evil Wizard, Lord… Lord…Lord-whatever-his-stupid-name-was would take care of him. Everything was in place…

… Link told his story, the story of his battle with Gannondorf, of the strange things he fished up from the Great Sea a year afterwards, and how he used these items against a ancient evil that had been held within a single mask. He even showed these items to his new friends. Among these Items were masks that had the mysterious power to transform their wearer into ancient creatures that were now mostly extinct. Sora was extremely interested in a mask that seemed to have great, evil power dormant in it. Link called it Fierce Deity's Mask. After some of this show-and-tell, Sirius finally noticed the time, 11:00 PM, and declared officially that everyone needed to go to bed. So all the heroes went to their quarters, for they were to help a certain wizard against a full court…

And so, my children, the story of the Four Heroes is just beginning…
"Finally, I've gotten past the character intros."

Ansem: "ugh…" -dies at Hello Kitty's hand-

"Now, some review replies."

Thunderstone: "My very first review! Glad you like this. Sorry for the wait."

Merely a Dark Lord: "Thanks! No offense but as is stated for the first few chapters of OotP, Harry was ticked off about not learning anything concerning the Order's plans. I would expect that he really wants at least some info concerning his soon-to-be classmates. Anyway, Harry will be more like himself as the story progresses."

"Next chapter, Harry's up against the Wizengamot, while Sora, Shadow, and Link lend a hand. Hopefully, this one will come sooner…"

"Until then, see ya!"
