Sora smirks as he sees all those who stands in his way. His instincts are different from before his opponents only looks like food to his brother and sister Heartless.
"Uh, Sora." Goofy lowers his shield then walks closer to him. Just mentioning his name forces him to clutch his head.
Donald is the only one watching cries out, "Wait, stop!"
"What are you doing, you fool!" His two friends looks at him hurt and confused. The one they knew would never say that at all. A ripple shockwave knocks both animals down from the teen. The troops help them back to their feet. Just witnessing an enormous power unnerved the guard and magician. "Now," all eyes turn to face him, "if you truly value your lives, run while you still can." The minority of guards flee and even fewer magicians.
Leon have been running around, searching for the intruder when he found runaways slaughtered in a flash one after another in a minute. He places his hands on top of the railing then leans forward to take a good look. The brunette cringes as he recognizes the spiky hair and a chain necklace wrapped around the intruder's neck with the silver crown in the middle. "It's not possible..."
Sora felt a pair of eyes looking down at him then lift his multi-colored pools and smirks coldly. He doesn't need to know why he's here at all. As long as he has a well put up fight before leaving, he is quite satisfied. "Tell a friend of mine to meet me in Dark Depths, Leon."
Somehow he has the power to make people's hair stand on its end. He was about to leap over and challenge that arrogant punk when soft hands grabs for his, urging for him to stop. Leon looks over his shoulder to see Kairi awake and tears run down on her cheeks. "Please, don't fight him."
"Not to worry, I'll..." She interrupted him.
"It's not his safety I'm worried about, it's yours!" The stormy grey eyes were shocked from what he just heard. "His power is vastly stronger than the last time and I don't want to see anyone die." His eyes soften then guides her to the garden where Sora stood in between their escape and eternal imprisonment.
"Go on, I'll catch up to you later." He whispers to her.
The auburn haired girl hesitates as her once childhood friend wouldn't budge from the spot. She turns to face her guardian then whispers back, "I can't."
"Kairi." She lifts her head. "Do you still love me?"
The Princess doesn't understand where this is going and replies slowly, "Yes."
He frowns. "Was that before or after you kissed Riku on my birthday?" Now she finally understands that he's actually testing her then turns her head the other side. She can't deny her feelings for both of them, but she believes she and the silver-haired boy are on a higher level than her relationship with the Keyblade Master.
Kairi takes a deep breath. "Before." He leers at her and her body begins to tremble by looking at his multiple color eyes.
"What did you do to her?" He growls as he positions Griever in front of the Keyblade Master.
"Just slap her in my own way." He smirks.

Jericho
Marluxia watches in an amusement that clearly shows that he's enjoys watching the big crystal ball. Namine, however, closes her ears and eyes as she tries to shut off the pain. She reacts the same way as Kairi in the crystal ball, which means anything happens to one of them will affect the other as well.
"Leave immediately, Sora."
"Aw, but this was getting close to the good part." He half-whined, but I can easily tell he also has amusement in his voice to torture her endlessly with his newfound powers.
"Either leave or call it off. Whatever you are doing to the princess is also affecting the witch."
"...fine." He snaps his fingers together in the clear sphere and Namine stops shaking immediately as well as Kairi.
Namine mouthed "thank you" to me and I shrugged it off as I wonder how poweful that spell catches present resident's attention.

People in Radiant Garden lifts their head as they sense a great evil not too far away from their world. Many would hurl or receive a migrain or even slip into a coma except for three of them.
"What... was... that?" A dark haired woman sits down on old rubble as she waits for her migrain to pass. Her companion wasn't affected by that disturbance but his face clearly shows he has a hunch what is going on.
"I have, at least, know what this means."
"Yeah? And what is it?" She snaps.
He turns to face her. "This has to do with darkness." The blonde warrior said bitterly.
Cloud is the only one who has darkness is welcomed by his home with open arms. Thanks to Tifa from last year, his light is strong and his darkness sits in a little corner, waiting to be released, yet kept at bay.
Riku's case was very unfortunate because his friend sat there, sleeping without any emotion on his face.
"Tron," Aerith raises her voice, "please assist Riku in anyway possible." A melody music that sounds foreign to the silver-haired teen as it responds to her voice. He whirls his head around as he searches for the source.
"Greetings, Riku ." Riku stops still then faces to the screen. "I am a program called Tron and assisted what you called the user today known as Ansem the Wise. Don't hesitate to ask questions, though, my data has limited storage that I can answer."
He smiles a relief then gently places his sleeping mouse friend on the floor. "Thank you, you guys." He nods to the flower girl he will be fine and she left.
Once she was gone, he groans softly then messages his forehead. There are so many questions he wants to ask such as Sora's whereabouts, Kairi's safety, and what that huge blast was. He types a question about where is Sora and Kairi . A red print appears on the screen that says "Access Denied". Riku growls impatiently.
"Explain this Tron!" He demanded.
"I cannot locate those users just as Sora tried--"
"When was the last time he came here?" Riku interrupted.
"Last year." He answers.
He knew he couldn't find any answers from there because he hasn't seen him for a few days and that means he has never came to Tron for anything. He decides to change the topic. "What did that shockwave contains then?"
"It has malevolent source that wipes out most residents except for three, including you."
"Name the other two."
"One of the users is Cloud and the other is unknown."
"Is it possible to locate them?"
"Affirmative." The program replies. "One is outside of Bailey and the other is in The Dark Depths."
"Guard King Mickey until I return."
Sora grew bored as the main residents of this world remain alive and his two so-called friends stand there in fear.
"Come back here immediately, Sora . It is urgent."
"You two are lucky today since I have other matters to attend." His multi-color eyes falls on the girl who looks at him, horrified. "One way or another, I will make sure you wish you never met me, Kairi." He opens a dark portal then steps through after that it closes behind him.
"Leon." The brunette looks down at the auburn girl. "Please take me to your world." Without another word, he takes her back to Radiant Garden.
SORA arrives back in Castle Oblivion on the thirteenth floor where Jericho waited for him. Somehow he reminds him of someone else with that hair. After a hand waved in front of him, he shakes his head to snap out of his trance. "What is the emergency Jericho?"
"Namine's behavior." He replies. "She completed your memories, but she doesn't act the same."
He raises an eyebrow. "What do you mean?" The silver-haired teen guides him where Namine and Marluxia waited for his return.
"You know you should have a conquest to conquer other worlds. I hear in Pride Lands there is a little helper for you who you might like."
He turns his head to the flower-wielder. "What is this about, Marluxia ?"
"Since she is connected to your heart, Namine can act anyway as you please."
He turns to face her. "Good work. Alter everyone who is unconscious from the shockwave." Sora teleports immediately to Pride Lands.
A young male lion cub dashes away from a dry wasteland. "There is no way I'm going back." He bumps into something large then falls on his back with his feet in the air. He has spikier growing mane than he does and has a silver chain around his neck.
"Well what do we have here?" The multi-color eyes look down curiously at the smaller form. "What is your name?"
"I'm Kovu." He answers as he regains to his feet on all fours.
"I'm Sora."
"Where did you come from?"
"The Elephant Graveyard."
The little lion grins widely. "Can I come with you?"
He raises an eyebrow. "Why?"
Kovu slows down until it becomes a halt. "You see, my mom wants to raise me to become like Scar."
It was Sora's turn to stop then he whirls around to face the small one. "Like Scar, huh?" He knows it will take a while as he lies down on his stomach and allows Kovu to come near him.
He accepts his offer then places his paws on the older one's forearm then rests his head. "He wasn't really my father. He just took me in."
Sora nuzzles against the little one warmly. "I'll tell you what. If you come and live with me, then you can forget living as Scar's heir."
His ears perked up then lift his head. "Really?"
He smiles. "Yeah." Heartless surrounds them and instantly Sora summons his Keyblade to his mouth. "Stay back unless you want to lose your heart."
