Kingdom Hearts: The Remnants

A/N: Well, computer crashed, and Best Buy took a month to send it off and get the video card fixed. Sorry all.

The Intervention landed as Terra's Keyblade Rider changed back into his Keyblade. Sora looked around, as Mickey and the others got off the ship.

"Well I'll be, Castle Oblivion." Mickey said, as déjà vu crossed him.

"So this is Castle Oblivion?" Sora asked.

"It's good that you don't remember" came from Naminé as she phased into existence.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Donald asked.

"You three came here before, the Organization was conduction experiments on memories, and after you arrived, the leader of the castle, Marluxia, used me to manipulate your memories. I erased everything you knew of Kairi little by little, and replaced her with me, so that you would challenge Marluxia, but he thought you would lose. After the battle I had to fix your memories, and DiZ, Riku, and I moved you to the mansion in Twilight Town, you were asleep for a year while I worked on you." Naminé said.

Sora mulled this over while Mickey looked at Terra while he frowned.

"Aqua must have used the safelock. I have no doubt that he is here now," Terra said, walking forward and pushing open the doors.

"Wait! Why did you do that Naminé, I would have liked to keep my memories," Sora said, angry.

"It had to be done, without fixing them, you never could have became whole again."

"Whole?" Sora asked.

"She's talking about me," A voice came from Sora.

"Does it make sense now Sora?" Naminé asked.

"I guess. Shouldn't we be with Terra?"

After they reached the entrance hall, Terra was waiting for them.

"Took you long enough!" he barked, frightening the others.

"Hey buddy, we came along to help you find your friend, if you are gonna be like this the-" Sora was cut off as he fell to the floor screaming and grasping his head.

"It's his memories returning." Naminé said.

"Poor thing," Kairi said as she walked over to his twitching body. "AAAH!" She yelped as Roxas appeared beside her, except something was wrong, he was solid.

"Roxas?" Donald asked, looking at him.

Roxas took off running as Sora began to come to, Terra right behind him.

"Kairi, go with him, we'll watch Sora" Goofy said.

Kairi nodded and ran after Terra she only caught glimpses of him as he wound through the crazy hallways of the castle.

"Whoa!" she said as she collided with Terras back.

"Ventus" Terra said, looking at Roxas, who was standing next to a chair with an unconcious boy in it.

Riku stood watch with Lea and Isa as the frightened islanders mulled over what had just happened.

"It will take them a while to adjust," Isa said, turning around and looking at the people. Lea and Riku turned to look with him. Riku's eyes shot from person to person to take in who he saw. I crying baby was closest to him, his mother trying to comfort it. After that was Tidus and his family, alond with the 'Blitzball Moms' as everyone called them. Shopowners rummaged through wreckage to try and recover some goods that weren't destroyed when the Heartless came through the stores.

"Hey, Riku, why'd Sora even call for us when the mouse was here?" Lea asked, throwing a chakram up and catching it.

"I don't know really, Sora must be getting too relaxed. He was freaked out when Zane first appeared as a threat. I told him not to do it, it would waste your time, but now, how it played out, it must have been destiny. It's King Mickey by the way." Riku said, turning around and looking towards the sky.

"It's weird huh, how beautiful it is." Riku said, dismissing the keyblade that was growing heavy in his hand.

"And how powerful it is," Isa said.

"Got it memorized?" Lea threw in, much to the others annoyance.

Throwing a sideways glance to Lea, Riku jumped off the podium and walked over to Tidus and his family.

"Hey, I'm sure everyone would like a more, in depth explanation as to what just happened," Riku sheepishly announced, rubbing the back of his neck. Tidus' mother and the Blitzball Moms all nodded. "Can you like, start up a ground Blitzball game, to keep the kids distracted while I explain everything?"

"Yeah, sure thing man." Tidus said, walking over to Wakka and Seth, another member of the team.

"Let's wait until they start," Tidus' Mother, Kai said.

Seven minutes and thirty seven seconds passed before all the children old enough to play were in the game. Parents were around Riku, Isa and Lea as Riku was wondering what all to say.

"Do you want me to go over everything, or just the most recent?" he asked the parents.

"Everything!" was a chorus from the parents.

"Okay, it started when the door to darkness opened on the Islands, this caused Heartless to swarm the Islands. Sora, Kairi, and I escaped, but the Islands were destroyed."

"Does anyone else remember this?" asked Wakka's Father, Recoome, who was taller than his son by a head and had the same dark skin and orange hair.

"We still haven't figured out how to explain it" Riku said.

"I have a hypothesis that it's because they had the strongest hearts on the Island." Isa said.

"That could be it, we might need to check some of DiZ's notes. After that, we arrived on Traverse Town..." Riku recounted his entire adventure, leaving out certain parts that involved his darkness.

"I don't know some of the things from Sora's adventure, so we can hope he will get back soon and tell you that"

"RIKU!" Selphie screamed above the crowd. Soldiers had swarmed the area with Defenders scattered amongs the ranks.

"Let's go!" Riku said, jumping over the crowd and summoning Way to the Dawn with a flash of light and waves of darkness. Lea and Isa followed behind with Eternal Flame and Lunatic. When a Soldier jumped at Riku, in an attempt to slam it's giant boot into him, he turned his Keyblade and deflected the kick with the flat of the blade.

Soon the Heartless forces had diminished and only the Guardians remain.

"Impenetrable shield, ey'? Lea wondered aloud as Isa looked around.

"Nothing is impenatrable." Isa said, looking up to Kingdom Hearts

"MOON! SHINE DOWN!" He shouted raising into the air, his hair floating around him.

"AAAAGH!" Then he was off, slashing and spinning his claymore and destroying all the Guardians. After his flurry of attacks, he floated back down to the ground and collapsed.

"Isa!" Lea said, rushing forward.

"It was, so pure, the real Kingdom Hearts. Xemnas' false Kingdom Hearts gave me power, but that was amazing" Isa said, his world going black.

Lea picked him up and carried him over to the center of the square, then laid him on the ground.

Riku walked back to the parents and dismissed his weapon. "And now, our enemy is here and I am protecting you."
