"Alright, I've had enough of this playing around." The Being of Darkness then delivered a feirce blow to the back of Sora's head, knocking him straight to the ground in immense pain.
"SORA!" Exclaimed Kairi as Sora fell to the ground.
"Looks like that didn't kill him." Said the Being as he walked over to the fallen Sora. "But he won't be getting up for awhile. I have all the time to kill him."
The Being that stood over Sora then raised his hand in the air. "This'll do it. I'm going to cut off his head right now, and that'll be the end of it."
Sora lied on the ground, on the brink of falling uncoscousness. "No...I have to fight on. It can't end like this!"
"Sora!" Sora heard Kairi call out again. "Sora!"
"Kairi..." Sora thought before blacking out. "Kairi..."

"KAIRI!" Said Sora as he suddenly jolted himself awake. He looked around at his surroundings. "This place...this isn't Radiant Garden." He realized. He looked around some more. He was on a large ship that was sailing across the ocean. The deck of the ship, where Sora was standing, had its own lawn growing on it, complete with a swing and a slide. He also noticed at the front of the ship there was a large figure head, shaped like a lion. He also noticed the two large masts the ship had, with equally large sails. On one of the sails, there was a painted picture of a skull with two bones making an 'X' shape behind it. The skull was also wearing a Straw Hat.
"Oh, you've finally woken up!" Sora heard a voice say to him. He looked to see a boy standing beside him, who looked to be about 17. He was wearing a red vest with blue shorts and sandals. He had short black hair and a scar underneath his left eye. Over his black hair he was wearing a Straw Hat, similar to the skull painted on one of the masts. "You were really out of it for awhile!"
"I was out cold?" Asked Sora. "Just where am I?"
"You're on the Grand Line!" Answered the Straw Hat boy. "The greatest ocean in the world!"
"Then...I'm really in another world!" Muttered Sora to himself. "But how did I get here?" He wondered aloud.
The Straw Hat boy shrugged. "Beats me. We found you just floating around in the ocean, so we picked you up."
"Was there anyone else with me?" Asked Sora, thinking of his friends.
"Nope. It was just you." Was the response from the Straw Hat boy.
"Hey Luffy, is that guy awake?" Asked another person as he approached Sora and the Straw Hat boy, apparently named Luffy. He looked to be about the same age as Luffy, wearing brown overalls and a dark yellow plaid bandanna over his curly black hair. One of the most striking features about him was that he had an almost abnormally long nose.
"He sure is, Usopp." Responded Luffy.
"Hello, I'm Sora." Said Sora to the boy named Usopp and Luffy, realizing he had never properly introduced himself yet.
"I'm Luffy!" Said Luffy, pointing to himself. "And I'm the man who will become the pirate king!"
"And I'm Usopp!" Said Usopp, who then struck a heroic pose. "And I'm the most bravest and most powerful warrior of the sea! Beware, for I have 80,000 men under my control!" Sora had a feeling that he was lying about all of those things.
"Eh? What's going on over here?" Said another person was two other people walked towards them. The one who had spoke had green hair and wore a white shirt with dark green pants and a matching dark green headband that was tied around his arm. Around his waist was a green sash, which had two swords attached to it. The other wore a black suit with a blue shirt underneath, and had blonde hair that dropped over one of his eyes. He was also smoking a cigarette.
"And this is Zoro!" Said Luffy, pointing to the green haired man. "He likes to sleep a lot. And this is Sanji!" He added, pointing to the blonde haired man. "He makes great food!"
"O-oi..." Said Zoro.
"I'd make better food if you didn't stop eating all the ingredients first..." Said Sanji.
Suddenly one of the doors to one of the cabins burst open. "What's with all this noise?! I can't focus on my maps!" A girl said as she burst out, who had orange hair and was wearing an attractive-looking dress with high heels.
"NAMI-SWAN! I'm so sorry!" Said Sanji, with hearts lighting up in his eyes.
"Oh, hey Nami!" Said Luffy, apparently oblivious to her anger. "That guy we found on the ocean woke up! His name's Sora!"
"Oh, so he finally woke up did he?" Yelled another voice as two more people appeared. The one who spoke was a large muscular man who had blue wavy hair and sunglasses. He stood over seven feet tall and was wearing nothing except for a hawaiian T-shirt and a speedo. The other was a woman who wore a short purple dress and black high-heel shoes.
"Franky! Robin!" Called out Luffy. "Yeah, he did! He says his name's Sora!"
"Sora? That's a nice name." Said the woman named Robin.
"Nice to meet you." Said Sora. Then he notcied something trying to hide behind a barrel. It looked like a small, furry creature with a blue nose and shorts, and wore a pink hat with antlers sticking out of it. "Um, who is that over there..." Asked Sora pointing in the creature's direction.
"Oh, that's just Chopper." Said Luffy. "Hey Chopper! You can come out, he's not a bad guy!"
"Re-really?" Said Chopper as he emerged from his hiding spot.
"So anyway, just what were you doing just floating out in the middle of the ocean like that?" Asked Nami. "The Grand Line's a pretty dangerous place you know?"
Sora thought for a moment. "I don't really know. I was fighting of these enemies with my friends, and suddenly I got attacked by one and passed out. Then I woke up here. I don't really know what happened."
Suddenly Usopp noticed something in the distance. "Hey, there's something floating in the water over there!"
"Really?" Asked Sora as he rushed over to the side of the boat, hoping to see Riku or Kairi. Instead, all he saw was a barrel. "It's just a barrel..." He informed everyone with some disappointment in his voice.
"Oo! Bring it aboard! Maybe it has treasure!" Said Luffy excitedly.
Soon the barrel was brought aboard the ship, as everyone had gathered around it.
"Alright! Let's open this up!" Said Luffy. "C'mon, let's get some food here!" He then opened up the barrel, and some instantly jumped out into the air. It then exploded into a red light.
"Aw, a flare?" Said Luffy. "I wanted some food!"
"Is this some sort of prank?" Said Usopp angrily, as he also was looking forward to some food.
"Hopefully, it's only a joke...." Said Robin with a somewhat concerned expression.
Suddenly, the expression on Nami's face changed too. "This air pressure...everyone! Head to your stations! There's a big storm approaching! And fast!"
"Eh, really?" Said Luffy. "We better hurry up then!"
"How can she tell?" Asked Sora to Luffy.
"Oh, Nami's a really good navigator!" Said Luffy. "That's why I made her part of my crew!"
The prediction proved to be correct. Within minutes a gigantic storm was over their ship, putting them all in danger.
"Man, this storm came faster than I thought!" Said Nami. "We can't do anything against this!"
"Hey!" Said Franky, pulling some switches at the front of the boat. "I didn't build you guys a ship that could do nothing, ya know! Pull up the sails! Soldier Dock System Channel 0: Cola Engine "Paddle Steamer" Sunny!" As the sails were being raised, two paddle-wheels emerged from the sides of the ship. It instantly regained control and soon, they were out of the storm.
"Wow, that was pretty impressive there." Remarked Sora.
"Heh, don't mention it! I'm a natural at this kinda stuff!" Said Franky boastfully.
Zoro then looked around at the surroundings. "Well, it's great that we're out of that storm and all, but...just were are we?"
Then the others noticed it too. Instead of the bright sunshine that they had previously been in, they were now surrounded by a thick fog, as thick gray clouds darkened the sky.
"Heh, we must finally be in that place." Said Franky almost sarcastically. "The place were almost everything disappears in, the 'Florian Triangle'!"
"Alright!" Said Luffy. "There must be a bunch of new adventures to explore here!"
Sora looked at Luffy like he might be a little crazy. "You certainly don't take things seriously, do you?"
Nami gave a desperate sigh. "Believe me, it's been worse than this."
Then that's when they heard something climbing up from the sides of the ship.
"Hmm, what's that noise?" Said Luffy. "I hope it's octopuses. I want some takoyaki."
That's when whatever what was climbing finally landed on the deck of the boat. They looked to see...
"Heartless!" Said Sora, as the black shadows appeared in the deck. Sora instinctively pulled out his Keyblade.
"Sora, you know what these things are?" Asked Nami, giving a slightly frightened look.
"And where did you get that awesome looking key thingy?" Luffy butted in.
"Yeah, I know them, they're enemies!" Said Sora as he slashed away at some of the heartless. "But what are they doing here?"
"Alright then." Said Luffy grinning as he put is fists together. "Looks like things are getting interesting." He then winded back one of his arms. "GOMU GOMU NO PISTOL!" He then extended his arm far beyond its average size as he punched a number of heartless away.
Sora looked at Luffy in slight amazement. "Luffy...how did you do that?"
"Hehe, I ate Gomu Gomu Fruit and became a rubber man." Said Luffy, as he stretched out the side of his mouth to further demonstrate.
"You gain powers from eating fruit?" Thought Sora to himself. "Strange world..."
Meanwhile, a group of heartless had also gathered around Zoro and Sanji.
"Hey, you shitty Marimo." Said Sanji. "You better not get in my way."
"Hmph, we must think alike." Said Zoro. He then drew out the two swords he was carrying. "NITTORYU: ONI GIRI!" He then dashed forward towards some heartless, slashing them away. "Damn, this would be twice as effective if I had a third..." He grumbled to himself.
Sanji then ran towards a seperate group of heartless and delivered a fierce kick to them, blasting them all away. "COLLIER SHOOT!"
Suddenly several heartless appeared by Robin. "NUEVE FLUER!" She said as several arms spurted from the ground and fending off some of the heartless.
"Dang these freaks!" Said Franky. "WEAPONS LEFT!" Franky's left hand then suddenly opened up, revealing a hole in his arm, from this, a giant cannonball then fired from his arm, obliterating some heartless.
Chopper also found himself surrounded by heartless. "Don't look down on me just because I'm a reindeer! HEAVY POINT!" Chopper's from the changed into that of a giant, furry, humanlike being. The then punched away at some of the heartless, knocking them back.
Usopp pulled out a small slingshot. "Haha, you guys are gonna regret the day you messed with the great Captain Uso..." Suddenly he found one of the heartless staring right at him. "AH! GET AWAY, GET AWAY!" He screamed frantically as he began to run away from the heartless.
"There's just no end to these things!" Said Nami as she pulled out a blue looking staff that three orbs attached to it, one on the tip of one side, one one the tip of the other, and one in the middle. "THUNDER LANCE TEMPO" from the tip off the staff, a giant spark of lightning appeared which she used to slash at some of the heartless.
Though there did seem to be no end to them, eventually before long, all the heartless that had invaded the ship had been defeated.
"Phew, that was a lot of fun!" Said Luffy, as if the whole thing had been some sort of game. He then turned to Sora. "Hey, were can I get that awesome key thingy?"
"You can just get a Keyblade, it chooses you." Explained Sora.
"But just what were those things?" Asked Nami.
"They're called heartless. And they come to steal your heart and feed off it's darkness." Said Sora.
"And just how do you know about them?" Asked Robin.
"Well..." Said Sora, not wanting to mention the existence of other worlds. "How can I put this..."
Suddenly they were interrupted, as they heard a noise coming from behind the ship. It sounded of a faint singing..."
"W-w-w-w-what's this music?" Said Usopp, who suddenly started shaking in fear. He then decided to turn around and look, as did everyone everyone.
A gigantic ship, nearly twice as large as the one they were on, was behind them, it looked very old, as the boards on the sides of the ship were broken and the sails tattered.
"IT'S A GHOST SHIP!" Yelled Usopp at the top of his lungs.
"But...who's driving it?" Wondered Robin.
"Hmph, if it's enemy, all we have to do is defeat it." Said Zoro.
"Hey, somethings up there!" Said Sanji, as he pointed up to the ship.
Looking where Sanji pointed, the crew saw a person standing on the ship. Only it wasn't a person, it was a skeleton, dressed in black with a top hat over a huge afro-like hair.
"Binks' Sake..." It sung, sipping some tea. "Bring it here..."
"A TALKING SKELETON!" Yelled Usopp again.
"Alright, I'm gonna go check it out!" Said Luffy who started climbing a ladder on the ghost ship.
"Hey, Luffy! Don't do anything stupid!" Called out Nami as she ran after him.
"Nami-swan! Hold on, I'll protect you!" Called out Sanji as he also ran after them.
"Could this be the guy who sent those heartless?" Thought Sora. With this in mind, he too, began to climb to the ghost ship.
