Chapter 1: Chosen Ones

Flashback…

The sunlight beamed down onto Greg's face. He frowned, and then opened his eyes, seeing Brandon staring at him. "What are you doing, Brandon?"

Brandon smiled. "Waiting for you to wake up, so we can get outta here."

"Where are we?"

"School." Brandon began. He sounded a bit worried. "Don't you remember? We were working on a project. We're the last people here, except for the janitor."

"Oh, right. Yeah, I remember." Greg leaned his head off of the table and yawned. "Oh man, what time is it?"

"About six o'clock, I think."

"SIX O'CLOCK!!!" Greg repeated.

"Uh, yeah. Anyway, let's get going. We have to walk home."


"Yeah, we better get home quick." Greg stood up, grabbing his belongings, and headed for the door with Brandon.

There was silence between the two, until they left the school. The sun was already setting and many people were heading home. Only one car was parked in the school parking lot. Most likely, it was the janitor's.

Though the area seemed deserted, Greg felt as if they were being watched. He looked around, to try and confirm his feeling, but found nothing.

"Hey, Greg, let's get a move on!" Brandon shouted, as he urged Greg hurry up.

"Yeah…" Greg took one last glance around, before catching up with Brandon.

Unseen by the two teens, a cloaked figure stood atop the school. His outfit was completely black, and his face was well hidden. He chuckled to himself, as he watched the two teens walk off into the distance.

"Soon, Keybearer of Twilight, your destiny will be revealed…" the cloaked figure chuckled to himself.

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

The night seemed to blacken, as the dark clouds blocked out the moonlight. The wind started to pick up, and the waves began get rougher. A storm was coming, and it was gong to be big.

"Sora, wait for us!!" shouted Selphie, who had came to a stop, trying to catch her breath.

"Yeah, we can't just run around the island aimlessly!!" added Tidus.

Sora turned back. His eyes didn't seem so happy anymore, and it was the first time any of his friends had seen him like this. "No! I have to find Kairi, no matter what!" he shouted.

"Sora, we'll find her. Just, calm down." Wakka shouted out to him.

"No! Either you're coming or not, I don't have time to waste. I have to find her!" Sora shouted, as he turned away and began sprinting down the beach.

"That kid's becoming a real pain." Tidus growled to himself.

"Tidus! Wakka! What are those things?" Selphie shouted with fear. She pointed her finger in the distance. Black creatures, with glowing yellow eyes, began to sprout out of the ground. They looked around, as if trying to find something.

"What the hell is going on?!" shouted Tidus, as he turned toward the creatures.

"I don't know, but we can't stay here. They're coming toward us!" Wakka shouted, as he began sprinting in the direction as Sora.

"C'mon, let's go Selphie!" Tidus shouted, sprinting off. Selphie followed behind.

Greg and the others…

"For some reason, I think something is wrong with this situation." Brandon uttered, as he slowly backed up. He could feel the others backing up as well. They were all back-to-back now, trying to figure out their next move.

"Yeah, I'll have to agree with you." Riku added, as he stared at the yellow-eyed creatures with disgust. "They've got us surrounded."

"What do they want with us?" Tami shouted. She could feel her hand's grip tighten around Greg's hand.

"I don't know, but what exactly are 'they'?" Greg asked.

"They just keep coming. If we don't get out of here soon, will be over taken." Riku shouted out.

The black creatures finally began to move in, preparing themselves for an attack. The teens could hear their black claws digging into the sand, as they grew closer.

Suddenly, Riku dove into the crowd. The creatures quickly reacted to this action, and turned their attention toward the white-hair teen.

"Riku!!" shouted Tami. "What are you doing?"

Riku turned to the others, smacking the away the creatures. "I'm going to distract them. Get out of here and find the others. Find Kairi, and make sure she's alright!!"

"But Riku!!" Brandon shouted.

"Just go!! I can handle this!!" shouted Riku, as the creatures swallowed him.

"Riku!!!" Tami shouted again.

"C'mon, we have to get going. We have to find the others." Greg uttered, tugging at Tami's arm. She turned and nodded. "Brandon, let's go."

"Yeah…" Brandon replied, as they rushed off. Brandon came to a stop after they were at a safe distance. He turned toward the crowd of creatures. They were advancing toward them, and Riku wasn't in sight. "Guys!! Those creatures are still coming and Riku is gone!!" Brandon shouted to the others. This caused Greg and Tami to come to a stop and turn around.

"What? Where is he?" Tami shouted.

"I don't know, he's just gone." Brandon replied, as he ran up to the others.

"This is just great. First we lose Kairi, and now we lose Riku." Greg sighed, and then looked back at the creatures. "But, they're still coming. We have to keep going." With that said, the three of them rush off again.

Sora…

Sora stopped in the sand, trying to catch his breath. He looked around again, but no one was around. "Kairi…" he uttered.

He felt as the rain began to pour, quickly soaking his clothes and hair. It felt like all hope was lost. Kairi was nowhere in sight, and he didn't know what to do.

"Where is she?" he uttered to himself.

"Sora!!! Help me!!" Kairi's voice echoed through Sora's ears. The young teen looked around, and spotted something he had never seen before. It seemed to be a portal of some sort, because after he witnessed it, he saw a large ship appear out of it. The ship looked like a flying fortress, colored different shades of tan. What caught Sora's eye first was a man, wearing shiny tan armor, holding Kairi by her arms and covering her mouth.

"Kairi!!" Sora shouted, rushing over to the man and Kairi.

The man reached into his pocket and revealed a gun of some sort. He was quick to aim it at Sora. "Stay where you are, kid!!" shouted the man.

Sora's feet came to a stop, but he wanted to keep running. His heart was beginning to pound. "Please, just give Kairi back to me." He begged the man.

"Ha, no way kid. We need her."

"Who are you?" Sora asked, as he slowly began to step forward.

"Don't bother introducing yourself to this boy." A voice implied. Sora and the armored man looked toward the ship. A man, with waist-length red hair, was departing from the ship. He wore a tan trench coat, a dark tan pair of pants, a light tan shirt, and brown boots.

"Who are you, and what do you want with Kairi?" asked Sora, who was beginning to get angry. He had ignored the gun, and turned his attention toward the man with long red hair.

"None of your business, boy. Just tell your little girlfriend goodbye, alright?" grinned the red head.

"No! Give Kairi back to me, now!!" Sora shouted in reply. He didn't know what he was going to do, but he was going to get Kairi back, even if it costs him his life.

The man grinned, again, and then snapped his fingers. In a matter of seconds, a crowd of armored people stood before Sora. "Go home boy, or will use force."

"No!" Sora protested. "Give Kairi back to me!"

"Sora!!" shouted Tidus from behind. Sora turned to see all his friends rushing toward him. "We're here, don't…" Tidus, along with everyone else, stopped in his tracks when the armored figures aimed their guns.

"Who the hell are you guys?!" shouted Greg. He moved slightly in front of Tami, as if to protect her.

"More of you kiddies?" The man uttered. He seemed to be getting annoyed.

"Hey, give us Kairi!!" shouted Selphie, as she began to march forward. Brandon was quick to grab her arm. "What are you doing? Let me go!"

"No. If you go, you'll be killed." Brandon pulled her back and forced her to stay behind him.

"That's it. All you kiddies will just have to die." The man implied. He sounded so calm, as if he killed children all the time.

The redheaded man snapped his fingers once more. This time, the armored figures cocked their guns and prepared to fire on the man's command.

Just as the redhead man was about to say the word, Riku appeared in front of the squadron of figures. In his hands he held a weird looking sword. The sword looked like a demon's wing, with an eye just above the handle.

"Give Kairi back to us, now!" Riku shouted, as he prepared himself for battle.

"Not another kiddy." The redheaded man sighed.

"Riku, you're alive!!" shouted Brandon, in shock.

Riku didn't reply. He seemed to be focusing on the problem at hand. "Don't make me repeat myself." Riku uttered.

"That's it, take 'em out!!" shouted the redhead.

Suddenly, the sound of gunshots filled the air. Sora and the others flinched in fear. Soon, they realized that they were still alive.

"Are we in heaven?" Brandon asked, as he peeked one of his eyes open. What he saw was something out of the ordinary. Riku, somehow, produced a barrier, that protected everyone. The barrier seemed to be made out of darkness. "What the heck!!" Brandon shouted

"Riku, what's going on?" Sora asked, turning to his friend.

Again, Riku didn't reply. Instead, he leapt through the barrier and into the crowd of armored figures. His friends watched as he tore through the crowd, killing anyone who got in his way.

"Riku!!" Shouted Tami, who was confused. She turned to Greg. "What happened to him?"

"I… don't know…" Greg replied. Something had gone terribly wrong when those creatures attacked Riku. He couldn't figure it out. Had the creatures possessed him? Or was Riku hiding this power all along?

Greg was deep in thought, when Riku came soaring onto the ground in front of him. He quickly came back to reality. "Riku!"

Riku slowly rose to his feet, glaring at the redheaded man. "Who… are you?"

"My name does not concern you now, Keybearer." The man replied. The man had deployed two twin swords, and was ready to attack.

"Keybearer? Did he just say that? What the hell is going on?" Greg thought to himself.

"Kairi… Even Riku is fighting for her, but I can't do anything. If only…" Sora thought to himself. He was feeling quite hopeless. He had believed that he was the only one that could save Kairi.

Suddenly, without thinking, Sora made a mad sprint toward Kairi and the man holding her. The redhead appeared before him, preparing to end his life. As Sora flinched, preparing him for the attack, a bright light emerged from his hand, temporarily blinding everyone.

"Sora!!" shouted his friends.

When the light faded, the redhead was lying on the ground, slowly getting to his feet. "What?" he uttered in shock. "Two Keybearers?" The man's attention was completely drawn to the key-shaped weapon Sora held in his right hand.

Sora was in shock himself. He didn't know where it came from. The silver blade and golden handle shined with light, even though no moonlight was visible. Also, a silver keychain hung from the rear of the handle.

"What is that?" Tami asked, peeking her head from behind Greg's back.

"I don't know myself." Sora replied, staring at the blade in confusion.

"That's impossible!! You Keybearers should be extinct!!" shouted the redhead, in shock. Worry could clearly be heard in his voice.

"Well, if we're Keybearers, like you say, then we're not extinct." Riku implied, glaring at the redhead. He turned to Sora. "Stay out of this."

"But Riku, I want to help."

"I don't need your help." Riku replied. He lunged at the man and swung his blade with force, only to miss. The man was too fast for Riku. Riku could feel a blade on his back, as it slit through his skin. Riku quickly fell to the ground.

"You may be Keybearers, but you're still not experienced with the Keyblade enough to beat me. Besides, you're just a bunch of kids." The redhead chuckled, as he heard Sora rushing toward him. The man quickly dodged Sora's attack and delivered a powerful kick to his chest.

Sora flew back onto the ground, clutching his stomach. "He's… going to get Kairi…" Sora uttered.

"That's right." The man turned to his subordinate. "Let's get going. We've wasted enough time with these kids." Everyone could hear his annoying laugh, as he and his subordinate entered the ship, along with Kairi.

"No, Kairi…" Sora whispered, as he attempted to get to his feet. He watched, in horror, as the ship disappeared into the portal. "Kairi!!" he yelled, with all his might.

No one could do a thing. They all watched the ship enter the portal and disappear. There was silence for the moment, as the rain pounded everyone. Riku slowly rose to his feet, clutching his blade tightly.

"I can't… let them take Kairi away." He uttered to himself.

"This is just great. We're never going to find Kairi now." Brandon sulked.

"No, we have to." Sora replied, as he got to his feet. He clutched the Keyblade tightly, just as Riku. "The portal is still open. I'll find her." Sora shouted, as he dashed toward the portal.

"Sora, stop!!" shouted Tami. But it was too late. Sora had already leapt into the portal and was long gone.

"He's actually right for once." Riku chuckled to himself. He started off toward the portal.

"Riku, no!! Don't go!!" Selphie shouted out to the white-haired teen.

Riku glanced back. "I can't stay here, Selphie. You must understand, I didn't give myself to the darkness for nothing." He uttered, as he disappeared into the portal.

Again, there was silence. First Kairi, and now Sora and Riku were now missing and there was nothing they could do. All seemed hopeless…

"What do we do now?" Tidus asked quietly. Barely anyone heard his sad voice.

"We go and search for them." Greg replied, as if that was the only option.

"We can't just barge into that portal. We don't know where it's going to take us." Wakka implied.

"I think Greg's right. We can't just sit here and do nothing. We have to find them and bring them back." Stated Tami, who agreed with Greg. She then smiled at him. "And Greg, I think I'm okay now, so you can let go of my hand."

"Oh!! Uh…I…" Greg uttered, quickly releasing Tami's hand. He could feel the nervousness overtaking him. "Yeah… Just making sure you're okay." He laughed nervously, rubbing the back of his head.

"I bet your face is so red right now." Brandon chuckled, pointing a finger at Greg.

"Hush it, Brandon." Greg replied, turning away. Tami giggled to herself.

"This is no time to be joking around!!" Selphie shouted. All the laughter seemed to drift away, and they were all brought back into reality. "What's wrong with you all? We just lost Kairi to some psychos, and Sora and Riku went after her. And you guys are standing here laughing!!"

"Sorry Selphie. We're just trying to lighten up the moment. We'll get them back, no matter what." Brandon tried to reassure her. "Besides, Tami and Greg started it." He glanced over at the two, who were giving him death glares.

"Selphie is right. This is no time for fun." Tidus uttered.

"You're right…" Greg added. He turned and stared into the portal with his brown eyes. "I'll go after them."

"What? You can't go after them alone!" Brandon shouted.

"I know, but I need to go. I know it's weird, but it's something I have to do." Greg replied. He turned back to the others with a smile. "And don't worry about me. I'll be fine."

"Greg, you can't be serious…" Selphie asked.

"Yeah, I am. I'm as serious as I'll ever be." He continued to smile. He shifted his body toward the portal and began towards it.

"Greg, let's rethink this." Wakka called out to him.

"No, I've already made my decision." He didn't bother to look back.

Brandon chuckled to himself for a moment, and then glanced at his friend. "Fine then, I'll watch the island with the others until you return."

Once again, Greg turned around with a smile and gave him a thumbs up, before walking into the portal. "See you around."

Suddenly, Tami broke out into a run. She dashed toward the portal with all her might. "Why?" she thought to herself. "Why am I doing this? Why am I wanting to be with this guy?" Before she knew it, her hand had quickly grabbed Greg's hand. "I'm coming with you." She uttered, looking into his eyes. The portal engulfed them, before Greg could respond.

"Tami, no!!" shouted Selphie. Before her very eyes, Greg and Tami disappeared into the portal. And just like that, Selphie was left all alone with three boys.

"Why the hell did she do that?" Brandon asked himself, as he scratched his head. But he decided that he didn't want to know. He just smiled. "Good luck you guys. All of you." He uttered, as the portal disappeared.

"They're gone…" Tidus uttered.

"Yep, just like that." Wakka added.

"Oh cheer up you two. They'll be back before you know it." Brandon began. "Instead of sulking, let's go and see if those creatures wrecked anything."

"Well, we've got nothing better to do, other than waiting." Selphie replied. "Let's go then." She began walking off toward the town. The boys followed.
