Author's Note: I do not own ANYTHING pertaining to Kingdom Hearts. I only own Blastbone Clarkson, Charlotte Amaturie (to appear in later chapters), and their nobodies, whose names will be revealed below. So without further ado, here is my interpretation of Kingdom Hearts III.

Chapter I: The Letter

"Sora! Riku!" Kairi yelled. She had just found a bottle on the other side of the island that was their home, with a note in the bottle. It had the seal of King Mickey on it, and, thinking it was important, she immediately ran for Riku and Sora, who were on the other side of the island.

As soon as the red-head reached the smaller island, she was greeted by Riku and Sora. The taller, and older, of the two had silver hair, a white vest with a black undershirt, blue jeans and sneakers. Sora was the other boy, with his spikey, brunette hair, blue eyes, and some interesting clothing from His previous adventures. They were black, with white edges, and some red straps in some places. His shoes were about twice as big as his feet, and they had small pieces of armor on the shoulders. When Kairi arrived, she was out of breath, her pink, hooded dress, which had a lot of zippers, was looking as if it has a bit of sweat in it. Her shoes, like Sora's were about twice as big as her actual feet, and were also pink, tied to her ankles by the shoestring.

"What is it, Kairi?" Sora asked. Kairi, lifted a bottle, with a note inside.

"Another message," Kairi said. "From the King."

Sure enough, on the scroll of paper, Sora and Riku saw the unmistakable seal of King Mickey.

"Another one?" Sora asked, taking the bottle from Kairi. In a flash, the cork was removed, and the bottle dropped onto the ground. The letter was unrolled, with Kairi reading the letter over Sora's left shoulder, and Riku reading over Sora's right.

Sora, Riku, and Kairi,

I'm sorry guys, but, as I said in the previous letter, there is trouble brewin'. The darkness is beginning to spread again, and this time, even more worlds are desperate for help. I don't believe that we will be able to wait much longer, so I am asking the three of you to come here so that we can strategize. I have the best strategist in the universe, and I have asked him to pick you up at 12 noon tomorrow. Be prepared, because this one will be the toughest adventure yet.

Your friend,

Mickey

P.S. Make sure you are alone. Last thing our strategist needs is innocent bystanders getting caught up in this.

"A strategist?" Riku asked. Sora walked away, handing the note to Riku.

"Who do we know who's a strategist?" Sora asked.

"Isn't it obvious?" Kairi said. "I think it's that guy we met over a year ago." Everyone gave Kairi looks of confusion. "Captain Clarkson!"

"Who, Blastbone?" Riku asked. "I hate to break it to you, but he left for home over a year ago, after we sealed the door to darkness."

"I still am still unsure about who he is," Kairi said. "But I do know he is smart

"He's an alien from an alternate universe," Sora said. "Blaster traveled with us until he found his ship. After that, he followed Riku through the Door to Darkness. I do believe he went home after that, but I'm not entirely certain.

"So, Blaster," Kairi asked, "is still here?"

There was an eerie silence, broken only by the waves. Suddenly the other two said "Nah!"

"Blaster made a promise to head back home as soon as he was done," Riku said. "He's too good to not keep a promise like that."

"So, we meet here at noon tomorrow?" Sora asked. "Or, should we find another, more secluded spot?"

"The Secret Place," Riku suggested. "I want everyone to arrive here on the island no later than 11:30 tomorrow, and in the Secret Place by 11:55."

"I guess it's decided," Sora said. "Secret Place by 5 of noon!"

"See you then," Kairi said, walking away.

Riku and Sora both leaned against the trunk of the impossible paopu tree. The two watched as the sun began to set.

"The more things change," Sora began.

"The more they stay the same," Riku finished. There was silence between the two Keyblade Masters as they watched the sunset. "Kairi gets to come along this time. Maybe she can show us how she really fights."

"Yeah," Sora agreed. "I guess she's been training really hard against Tidus and Wakka. Besides, we've trained her well. She'll do fine."

"Yeah," Riku said absentmindedly. "She will." The two still stood as the last of the sun dipped below the horizon. "See you 11:30 tomorrow."

"Same to you, Riku," Sora called as the silver-haired boy ran towards his boat to take him home.

"Come on," A male said, walking towards a floating, white castle in his black, hooded robe.

The man was supporting another person on his right shoulder, walking slowly for his partner, a female by the way her robe clung to her body, to keep pace, her left leg bent at an awkward angle.

"You know, XVII," the female said, "I can only move so fast with a broken leg."

"Your point…?" the male, XVII, said. "There is only so much we can do, XVI."

"Well," XVI said, "I have a broken leg, about two cracked ribs, a broken arm, a giant slash across my chest, and, oh yeah, I have a headache the size of Texas."

"Sorry to hear that, Xarch," XVII said. "As you may tell, I only managed a broken arm and some cuts…somehow."

The two continued their walk up the clear ramp that led from the city to the Castle That Never Was. XVII had his chain whip out. It was jet black with a knife-like blade at the butt of the hilt and the end of the chain, all of which contrasted with the white castle as much as their coats. As the two approached Crooked Ascension, both found it weird that the lesser nobodies were not coming around to attack them. The weirdness continued as they continued, getting closer to the top.

"Perhaps they went on missions, Noxbastbel" Xarch suggested when XVII asked where everyone was.

"All of them?' XVII, Noxbastbel, asked. "At the same time?"

"It's possible," Xarch suggested.

"Without so much as leaving a guard?" Nox (his nickname) asked. Xarch stopped for a few seconds.

"Now that I think of it, yeah," Xarch said. "It does seem a little strange."

"I think they all might be lying in ambush," Nox suggested. They walked into Proof of Existence.

"Or worse," Xarch said. "They're dead."

Xarch was right. Looking at the stones that showed the weapons of the Organization Members, they were all a deep blood red. The only two that were different were Zexion's, which was buried under the rubble of his room portal, but still glowing red, and Roxas' which glowed a light blue. From experience, both Nox and Xarch knew that red meant dead, while blue meant alive.

"My gosh!" Nox shouted. "It looks like a cemetery. A vandalized cemetery, but still…"

"The room Xemnas created to prove that, at one point, they existed, even though we were never meant to," Xarch said ominously. She looked at the only two room portals still standing. "Let's raid Saix's room!" She suddenly shouted.

"What?!" Nox asked, surprised.

"To find some potions, or hi-potions," Xarch said. "I am not stealing stuff to remember these guys by. They've already caused us enough damage."

Xarch took off her coat, which was torn to shreds, with some difficulty. Underneath, she wore a white tank top, which was slashed across her chest, right over her stomach. On the back was the Nobody symbol, outlined in black. Her black shorts came to just above her knees, but were ripped in some places. The only thing that seemed to be left unscathed was her boots, which were black and went halfway up her calf. She looked in a nearby mirror, her golden eyes looking at the blood caked into her golden-brown, shoulder length hair.

"Organization protocol says that you must wear your Member-issued cloak at all times," Nox said.

"And who's gonna stop me?' Xarch asked, leaning against the remains of Roxas' room portal.

"Just as I thought," Nox said, also removing his cloak. He wore a black shirt with the Nobody Symbol on his chest, and a few rips that looked like they came from a blade. His blue jeans were roughly in the same state as his shirt, and, like Xarch, his combat boots seemed to be unscathed. His green eyes met with Xarch's golden ones, before he too looked into the mirror, also finding blood caked in his spiky, black hair.

"So, how do I look?" Xarch asked.

"Beautiful, Xarch," Nox replied, blushing. Xarch started laughing. "What?"

"Your face," Xarch said simply, pointing at his face and trying to stifle laughter. It failed when Nox started laughing too. And both were enjoying it, as it was what they felt. Then, a minute later, they suddenly stopped, turning back to being mostly emotionless.

"Again?" Nox said. "I'm getting sick of this partial heart thing."

"I think it gives us an advantage over the other nobodies," Xarch said, picking up a thin slab of concrete to use as a crutch. "At least we have part of a heart to follow."

"I suggest we follow our hearts then," Nox suggested. "You and me, Disney Castle at half past noon tomorrow."

"Sounds like a plan," Xarch said, limping over to Saix's room portal. "Shall we heal ourselves first, then head to bed?"

"Sure," Nox agreed. The two hobbled into Saix's room and found several Hi-Potions, which they used. Immediately their cuts, bruises, and broken bones healed themselves. Relieved, the two found some safety mats, and fell asleep.

Something New I've decided to introduce is the Scenes from Next Chapter segment: The un-bracketed words are the words said in the voice over, while the italicized words in the brackets are actual quotes from the next chapter.

ON THE NEXT "INTO THE FIRE": Old friends come back ("Ta-da!" Blaster shouted.), but what happens when Nobody meets Somebody ("Hello, Blaster," Nox said, beginning to walk towards the group. // "What the…?" Blaster muttered."). Into The Fire: Next Friday at 9/8c. Only on .

Welcome to Kingdom Hearts III: Into the Fire. This adventure will take these adventurers through 56 different worlds with the break up of worlds consisting of 1 from Final Fantasy, 3 Originals, 4 Video Games, 10 New Non-Disney movies, 18 Returning, and 20 new Disney worlds. *gasps for air* This may take a while. So, I have decided to split the story into three parts. As of now, we are in Into the Fire Part I: Return to Action. Please review, and no flames. (they will be doused by Demyx)
