Chapter IV

In Traverse Town

The streets where busy in Traverse Town. People and moogles were moving left and right. Donald and Goofy walked along these busy streets.

Goofy looked up and gasped. "Gwarsh, a star just vanished!"

Donald looked up, "I can see that, come one and… Pluto? What are you doing here?"

Pluto just gave that dumb dog look.

Donald rolled his eyes, "Never mind. Come one lets just find this "Leon" guy and get to that "key" and quick!"

"Come on Pluto!" Goofy called out to the mutt.

But Pluto did not come to the call. Instead he ran into an ally way where he saw Sora all knocked out. Pluto wondered who this dude was and sniffed to see if it was anyone he knew and to see if this guy has any thing for him to eat. Pluto sniffed Sora.

No, no one he knew but if he acted all friendly to the guy maybe this guy can give him a DOGGY TREAT! So Pluto licked Sora all over.

"ACK! GET OFF! GET OFF!" Sora gasped. Sora looked around and looked at Pluto who was now expecting a doggy treat.

"Gee… Where am I? And where are Riku and Kairi! Where's my Mommy?!" Sora gasped the said "Here I am at a place I've never been to all alone except for this mutated dog. And I can't even use my cel-phone here. Hey! Maybe I can use this mutt to…."

Pluto then ran off, Sora followed the dog out of the ally way and into town.

"Whoa… This place is big… and… busy." Sora went. He couldn't see the dog anywhere. But he did see a lot of people and moogles.

"Wow! I believe that I am in a different world!" he gasped in amazement.

Sora then saw a building and decided that he would ask in anyone saw his friends anywhere. When he came in, he saw that this was a shop. Sora looked around; no one seemed to be in the store except for a guy at the counter.

"Hey kid. Can I help you?" said the guy that to Sora looked like an old man.

"I'm not a kid! I'm fourteen! I'm a teenager, not a kid, a TEEN! And the name's Sora! GRAMPS!" Sora snapped at the guy.

"Don't call me gramps! The name's Cid. Don't have to get all snappy. You look lost." Said Cid.

"Well… I don't know where I am." Sora said looking down at his shoes.

Cid looked at Sora and said to him, "Why you are in Traverse Town."

"Traverse…Town?" Sora said. "Anyways, have you seen a silver haired guy named Riku or a girl with brownish red hair named Kairi anywhere?"

Cid gave it a thought and said, "Sorry, no I haven't."

Sora sighed.

"Well you can go to the Second District and see if they're there. Here I'll give you the directions." Cid told him.

"Thanks." Was all Sora could say at the moment.

Well after getting the directions, buying a few things, and Cid offering that if he needed any help, he'll be in the shop, Sora thanked him and set off to the Second District.

"Boy am I hungry." He mumbled to himself, "Might as well see if there's a good restaurant while searching for my friends. But I wonder… Who was that cloaked midget that I saw when that Darkside thing appeared and how did he know what that thing was called…? Oh well here's the Second District. Now to find Riku and Kairi. And that restaurant."

The Second District was a big place, but it was empty except for a guy running. But before Sora can say anything thing, the guy fell down and disappear leaving a glowing thing in the shape of a heart. Then it turned into a creature slightly in armor. Sora drew out the Keyblade. Then the black ones from both Sora's dream and on that dreaded night at his home town came popping up but this time with some frog-like black creatures and more slightly-armored ones. The creatures stared at his Keyblade and then they attacked Sora.

"AAA! These things are here too? But this time with some buddies!" Sora cried out.

It was kinda hard to take so many at once. The armored ones and the small black ones scratching him while the frog-like thing opened there big mouths to shoot there deadly green tongues at him. Sora fought them till none where left. He decided to forget about his tummy and go to Cid and tell him about what had happen.

Sora turned, dashed off, and kept on running till a guy appeared blocking his way. Sora stopped and looked up at this stranger. Dark brown hair, a scar on his face, around his neck was a chain with a lion charm (well to Sora it looked like a charm) on it.

"You are being hunted down by them." The stranger said to him.

Sora looked confused.

"Obviously you don't get what I'm trying to tell you, so I'll say it again. You are being hunted down by them. And they'll continue to hunt you down cause of your Keyblade."

Sora looked shocked, "How did you know that this is called a Keyblade and how did you know I have it?" taking out the Keyblade. "Oh I get it! You are stalking me! That's why you know that I have this Keyblade! It must be valuable!"

The stranger looked at Sora. "Yes it is valuable, but I don't know why it would choose an airhead like you?"

Sora gave an angry look. "I'm not an airhead! You probably want it don't cha?"

"No, I don't want to keep it…" The stranger started to say till Sora interrupted.

"Then you want to sell to for lots of munny! Well I won't let you!"

Sora charged at the stranger. The stranger rolled his eyes, muttered something about Sora being stubborn, and pulled out his gunblade and whapped Sora out cold with the handle.

A girl then appeared next to the stranger. "Man, he didn't have the chance to even hit you Squall. Did you have to be so hard on him?"

"Aerith did say that the one chosen by the Keyblade will stop this whole mess, right?" He said ignoring her question. "And that's LEON."

"Yeah." The girl answered to Leon's question.

"Then the worlds are all doomed." He replied.

Meanwhile Donald and Goofy were walking in an empty street.

"Gwarsh, No one's here. This is getting rather spooky. A-yuk." Goofy trembled.

"It's not that spooky. I'm not afraid." Donald replied.

Then Donald felt his shoulder being tapped.

"Whaa…!" Donald gasped.

They turned around to see a brown haired girl in a pink dress.

"Excuse me? But did the king send you two?" she asked them.
