Me: Mm where to begin…well first of, sorry for not updating as a lot of things happened for the past few weeks.
First, my internet was cut off close to the end of last month and I just barely got it back. Second, my mother was send to the hospital and stayed there for about a week. She returned and recovering but is under a low-fiber diet though cause the docs found out infection in her colon and caused inflammation so she needs to take it easy for a month. Lastly…I was back in the ER once again cause my tube was pulled and caused extreme pain to the point that I had to go to the hospital. Luckily nothing was damaged but they did find a bit of infection…again so antibiotics!
Don't worry, I will still work on my stories even if the medicine will cause me some blindness. I don't give a crap about it.
I think that pretty much it so anyway…

'Ven reads the review before his faces turns pale and runs off'

Guest #1: Hope you like this chapter as well and thanks.
digifan303: Aw thanks and I hope you will enjoy this one as well. Took me quite some time deciding what to type and what the character will do. Enjoy!
kairi loves sora: Yes, everything is back to normal for Adam aka Beast and Belle. Natalya will feel different emotions about meeting her older brother after sometime apart but never the less, she is always welcome back with Belle and her family.
I would imagine that Sora will have that ability as well since he does have Ven's heart but I guess it wouldn't happen unless…it appears in KH3, who knows, right?
Not too worry about my health problems. Just as long I don't stay at the hospital for more than four days, then I will start worrying – and the same goes with you guys! Enjoy the chapter!
Now that is done with so onward to our game/adventure! Start file!
Sora sighs dramatically before pulling the collar of his shirt.
Natalya slapped his arm, "Would you stop doing that? For a prince, shouldn't you be like…an expert for these types of dances."
"I guess," said Sora. The brunette rubbed the back of his head, "I wasn't really allowed to leave the castle and the only parties I have ever attended were my birthdays and the Annual Ball."
Natalya frowns, "So what did you do for fun?"
Before Sora could reply, there was a knock on the door and came in were Mrs. Potts and Max. The young knight walked over to Sora and whistled.
"You sure look pretty good in those royal clothes…much better than the ones that Aunt Daisy would get you."
Sora shrugged before looking over at the mirror.
His collar was dark blue with gold trimmings, golden shoulder pads with a white slash, his suit was white with golden buttons and trimmings and the back was long with a V cut line. His wrist cups were dark blue, wearing dark blue pants and black shoes.
"The only thing I can say about this outfit, it's at least comfortable," stated Sora before leaning over to the pink hair girl. "Though Natalya looks pretty good in the gown that Belle gave her, what do you think?"
Natalya blushes before glaring at him, "S-Shut up! Y-You're just teasing me!"
She was wearing a strapless light blue gown and her waist had diamond trimmings. Around her neck was a light blue choker with a small blue gem and had small diamond earrings.
Mrs. Potts laughed, warmly, "Madam Bouche still has her touch. Now come on children, the dance is about to begin."
Sora sighs before offering his hand, "Shall we?"
Natalya blushes bright red before taking his hand, "S-Sure but I warning you! You better not step on my feet!"
"Don't worry, I took lessons," said Sora before the two followed Mrs. Potts out of the room. Max closely followed them while wearing some sort of uniform.
They entered the ballroom where it was filled with noblemen, noblewomen and all of the town villagers. It was quite a shock to the town's people to know that the missing prince reappeared after ten years.
"Ah Natalya and Sora, you just missed the announcement and the dance has just begun," stated Maurice before smiling over to the dance floor.
Sora saw that Belle was dancing with Beast who his real name was Adam.
Natalya smiled, "I'm glad to know that my sister has finally found true happiness. I wonder…if it would be the same once I reunite with my brother."
"Won't know for sure until you do," said Sora before pulling her to the dance floor. "In the meantime, let's dance."
"H-Hey, Sora!"
"What? Can't you dance?" said Sora.
Natalya bites her lip, "Not with someone else…Belle showed me a few steps but I never dance with an audience."
Sora gave an innocent look before giving her a bow, "Then shall we continue with your lesson."
Natalya tensed a bit the moment Sora placed his arm around her waist and guided her hand to his shoulder. The brunette lean over to her ear, "Just follow my lead and forget there are no one else in the room but just me, got it?"
The pink hair girl nodded and started dancing with Sora.
Belle and Adam were taking a break and watched them dance. Belle giggled and shook her head, "Natalya was too shy to dance in public but then again she wasn't those types of girls. She would prefer going to the woods and practice with her scythe."
Adam laughed, "Are you going to miss her when she has to leave?"
"I am but I know that she misses her real family," replied Belle before smiling. "Besides, I know for the fact that she can visit if Sora is with her."
Adam smiled before offering his hand to her, "Let's join them, shall we?"
Belle smiled before nodding her head and the two went over to where Sora and Natalya were dancing. Max was watching them before being pulled to the dance floor by a young maid.
"Wait! Miss! I'm not really good – at dancing!"
Mrs. Potts laughed, "Oh dear."
"Mama are those two going to live happily together?" asked Chip as Mrs. Potts nodded while Maurice laughed. The child then made a face, "Does it mean that I still need to sleep in the cupboard?"
The dance lasted all night where Sora, Max and Natalya spend the night at the castle for one last time. In the morning, Max woke up early as usually to wake up Sora.
Normally it takes a while for the brunette to wake up and usually Queen Minnie would be the only one that can wake up Sora without getting smacked on the face…accidental.
Max walked into Sora's room to find the brunette sleeping as his usual position. His butt sticking out, his mouth wide open with some drool, his left arm out while his right was hanging around his head and was snoring.
'How in the world can Sora sleep like that?' thought Max before flinching. 'Oh wait…now I remember. I think he copied me when we were younger.'
The young knight shook his head before tapping onto Sora's shoulder.
"Um Prince Sora, it's time to wake up. Prince Sora? Man…now how did Queen Minnie wake him up? Ah wait!"
Max carefully placed himself from a safe distance before leaning over to Sora's ear.
"Prince Sora, it's time for breakfast!"
The brunette snap open his eyes and tries to get up from the bed but end up fallen from it instead. He untangled from the covers before looking over at Max.
"I'm up! I'm up! Don't start without me," started Sora before seeing his knight smirking at him. He narrowed his eyes, "You tricked me."
"Not really but you do need to wake up," said Max as he walked over to the dresser and took out Sora's black outfit. "Once we finished breakfast and say our farewells, we need to navigate back to Master Yen Sid's tower."
Sora sighs, "Right…be out there in a few."
Max nodded and saluted before leaving the room.
It didn't take that long for Sora to change back and headed to the diner room to find everyone there and eating. Belle and Adam greeted while Natalya was slightly smirking towards him.
"I hope I didn't oversleep," said Sora as he took a seat by Max.
"Like you didn't oversleep for the past three days," stated Natalya.
"If you had a schedule like mine, those extra sleep was a bliss from heaven," murmured Sora.
"It's not easy to rule a place, is it Sora?" said Adam as the brunette nodded. "I completely understand and soon experience it as well. Any advice?"
Sora thought for a moment, "Follow your heart and listen. Not to your people but their hearts and I think Belle can help you there."
Adam smiled and nodded while Belle blushes a bit.
Once breakfast was over, Belle, Adam, and her father, Maurice was saying good-bye to Natalya for one last time.
"A part of me wants to stay but the other part is that I want to reunite with my brother who I know miss me dearly," said Natalya, sadly.
Belle embraced her adopted sister, "You are always a part of this family, Lya. Blood or not and remember, you are always welcome to come and visit us."
"You can bring your brother if you like," said Adam. "This castle is your home as well."
Natalya smiled happily before letting go from Belle's embrace and walked over to Sora. The pink hair girl grinned, "Shall we?"
Sora nodded before all three of them waved good-bye to Belle and Adam.
Max changed his sword back into the skateboard where he and Natalya stand on while Sora transformed his keyblade to the glider.
They traveled were they landed the gummi ship which was far from the village and took off.
-Mysterious Tower-
"Ah Prince Sora, I see you have accomplished your mission," said Yen Sid before smiling over the pink hair girl. "It's a pleasure meeting you, young Natalya Leonhart, holder to the Shadow magic."
Natalya widens her eyes, "H-How did you know that I can use the shadows?"
"Your aura and what lies within your heart, child," replied Yen Sid.
"It's warm, is it not Master Yen Sid?" said Sora as he walked over to the elder. "It's not like any other Shadow magic I have ever encountered. It's not threatening at all…its feels…gentle."
Yen Sid closed his eyes before nodding his head, "Yes, you are correct Prince Sora and I believe I know the right person who can help her to train on using it."
"W-Wait! Really?!" said Natalya before frowning. "What about my brother?"
Yen Sid smirks, "Not to worry child. Your brother lives with this wizard along with a few people that you might remember."
Natalya had a confuse look on her face, "Other people?"
"Now, Prince Sora if you would stand before me," said Yen Sid.
Sora jumped a bit before going over to the other side of the table and faced his mentor and slight of a grandfather figure to him. The brunette stood tall and still.
"In this mission, you had to endure hardships, emotional choices and unlocked your Light power," started Yen Sid before smiling. "But it would seem that you unlocked more than just that, correct?"
Sora nodded, "I did. Not only did my keyblade turned into a glider but Natalya's Shadow magic and my Light magic somehow combined when we were fighting the Heartless."
"Wait – what?!" said Natalya.
"You didn't notice?" asked Sora as Natalya shook her head.
"I might have an idea but I need to do some further research about it," said Yen Sid as he rubbed his chin. "I will let you know once I know it is certain."
Sora and Natalya nodded.
"You handle the mission very well indeed," said Yen Sid but before saying anything further, the door opened and came in was…
"Uncle Mickey?!/King Mickey?!"
"Nice to see yea too!" said Mickey, happily. "Looks like I just made it just in time."
Yen Sid nodded, "You did my friend…now Prince Sora I'm naming thy Keyblade Master, not because for your power but the strength of your heart."
"You did it Prince Sora!" said Max, happily.
"Strength of my heart?" murmured Sora before grinning. "Awesome but…what does a Keyblade Master do?"
Yen Sid chuckles, "I believe Mickey can help you there. I believe you came here for another reason other than telling me you have returned from the Realm of Darkness and hearing if young Sora here passed his Mark of Mastery."
Mickey nodded before stepping out from the door. Two people came in and one of them Sora recognized.
"E-Eric?!" said Sora in disbelief before smiling. "You're back!"
Eric smiled slightly, "Yea. Mickey and I made sure those blasted Heartless stay at the Realm of Darkness…well the ones that are in there, not sure about the ones that are able to escape."
Sora smiled before looking over at the mysterious woman.
She had short blue hair, blue eyes and was wearing a black and blue, high-collared halter top, two pink, intersecting belts over her chest, and black shorts. On the arms are white bell-sleeves and tan, fingerless gloves.
She also wears a small, segmented piece of armor on each of her upper arms. She wears black stockings on her legs which reach to about halfway up her thighs. She bears two strips of blue cloth that drape over either side of her hips, along with a smaller, white strip of cloth tied around her waist, draped in the same manner.
Finally, she wears pointed, armored, silver boots with a sharp hook on the outer side of each.
"Who are you?" asked Sora.
Yen Sid smiled, "Prince Sora, I would like you to meet an old apprentice from an old friend of mine, the previous Keyblade Master, Aqua."
Sora and Natalya widen their eyes before looking back at the bluenette.
Aqua smiled, warmly before bowing a bit, "It a pleasure meeting you your highness."
"Um you can call me by my first name, I don't mind," said Sora before titling his head to the side. He smiled a bit, "Ven is right about you."
Aqua widens her eyes, "V-Ven? He-He woke up from his sleep?!"
Yen Sid shook his head, "I'm afraid not, Aqua. Ventus' heart went somewhere that he would feel save so that he can recover from his battle with Vanities."
"W-Where did his heart go?" said Aqua, softly.
Mickey smiled before walking over to Sora, "Inside of my adopted nephew's heart."
"Ven…Ven is with you?" whispered Aqua.
Ventus appeared right beside Sora, "May I speak with her?"
Sora nodded before closing his eyes and when he opened them, they were glowing bright blue. The brunette smiled, "It's good to see you are alright Aqua."
Everyone in the room gasped.
"Um is it just me or did Sora's voice…changed a bit?" wondered Eric.
Ven laughed, "Don't worry. I asked Sora if I can use his body to speak with my old friend."
Aqua smiled before laughing, "Ven, I'm glad to know that you are alright. I can't believe it has been ten years since…well you know."
Ven looked down, "Yea, I know. I just hope that Terra is alright."
Aqua frown before shaking her head, "Um Ven, when do you think your heart can return back?"
"Even I want to know as well," stated Sora.
"…I was waiting for when Sora becomes a Master so now I guess," replied Ven.
Everyone widen their eyes while Yen Sid strokes his beard.
"But how?" wondered Natalya.
"Simple as he already did it with the seven Princesses of Hearts,"replied Ven. "Though back then he barely had enough magic to even use it but now since he is a Keyblade Master, it would be no trouble at all."
Yen Sid nodded, "Then it's settled. Aqua, where did you place Ventus' body?"
"Where Land of Departure used to be," replied Aqua, sadly. "It's now known as Castle Oblivion. Only I can navigate the halls since it was I who transformed the place while any others will just get lost and lose themselves."
Yen Sid nods, "Yes, I do remember that Master Eraqus has told me about this protection seal. Very well, young Max would you take young Natalya back to Hollow Bastion while Aqua escort young Sora to Castle Oblivion."
Max saluted, "On it sir! Shall we, Natalya?"
"Sure," replied the pink hair teen. She looked over at the brunette, "If you can hear me Sora, I would…like to thank you and I hope we can see each other again."
Ven smiled and closed his eyes. When he reopen them, the sea blue eyes were normal.
"Promise," said Sora before hugging the small teen.
Natalya blushed a bit before slightly coughed a bit before running after the young knight. Eric smirked a bit before elbowing the brunette.
"Someone has a crush."
Sora's cheeks turned slightly red, "S-Shut up! Don't say anything as I know you have a crush on Kairi!"
Eric step back and his cheeks was crimson red, "Shut it!"
Yen Sid coughed, "If you two are quite done."
Sora and Eric tensed up a bit before they sheepishly turned their heads over to the elder sorcerer. They rubbed back of their heads.
"Sorry Gramps/Master Yen Sid."
Mickey laughed a bit while Aqua just stood there with a blank face while blinking her eyes.
The bluenette looked over at Mickey.
"Um…is this normal behavior, your majesty?"
"But of course, now shall we get going?" replied Mickey.
Sora turned his head, "You're coming too Uncle Mickey?"
Mickey nodded, "Not just me but Eric as well. Afterwards we will be dropping off Eric back to his homeland."
Sora smiled sadly, "I-I see…let's get going then. See yea later Gramps!"
Yen Sid sighs before waving his hand, "Good luck and be careful, all of you."
Sora, Mickey and Aqua gave the elder sorcerer a slight bow before the brunette grabbed hold onto Eric and dragged him out of the room.
"Onward to Castle Oblivion!"
-Break Line-
Surprise! Sora is Keyblade Master. Mickey and Eric is out of the Realm of Darkness along with them was none other Aqua. Now their next mission is to return Ventus' heart back after ten years of resting.
Will they succeed? Or get lost in Castle Oblivion's defense magic?
Find out in the next update!
P.S I'm having a huge trouble on what I should do. I hope you guys can help me out.
You see, I am playing Chain of Memories and then I noticed that even if Sora (in my story) didn't turn into a heartless, Kairi still lost her heart. That would mean Naminé will still appear in Castle Oblivion.
Now question, do you guys want me to in a way follow up the events of Chain of Memories or have Sora and the others run into Naminé before the Organization 13 appear?
At the end of the November, I will decide base on the votes. Hope you guys can help me out.
