The Promise Between the Two of Us

Chapter 6:

The New Journey Begins

Sora.

Who's calling me?

Sora...

Who are you?

Looks like you really forgot everything...

Forgot? What have I forgotten?

Soon...Sora...

Huh?

Soon...we shall meet again...

WAIT!!

On the train

"SORA!!"

"WHOA!!!" Sora fells from the seat as he covers his ears and winces in pain.

"Gwarsh, Donald…I think you have over done it…Are you alright, Sora?" Goofy looks from Donald to the brunette on the floor.

Sora jumps onto his feet as he stares at Donald. "You don't have to yell so loud at me, you know?! Ouch…"

"We saw you tossing and turning in your sleep, murmuring something, so we tried to wake you up when Donald…"

"Yeah, yeah! It's my fault, okay? But least he's awaken now!" Donald snouts as he crosses his arm.

Sora looks out at the window, they seem to have traveled for a time being by now. He thinks back about the dream. 'What was that dream about? Who's that person? And why does he say that I've forgotten something? What…have I forgotten?'

His thoughts were break off when Goofy points out, "Guys! I think we have reached our destination!"

As soon as he said that, the train comes to a stop. The door slides open as they step out from it, the moment all of them were out, the train disappears into thin air. Looking around, they seem to be standing on a floating land with a weird looking tower in the middle. It is then they notice a person peeping through the front door of the tower. Looking at one another, Sora and the others move forth behind the suspicious person.

"Hey, what are you doing there?"

The figure starts to laugh, still not turning around to them. "I gonna make the strong magician living in this tower to be my bodyguard! I have just sent in a squad of Heartless into the tower to turn him into one."

"Heartless?!"

"Yeah, didn't you all know? They are creatures that are born out from the darkness from the people's heart. And Maleficent is the one who controls them, together the two of us will rule the world!! Argh, why am I talking to you all anyway? Shoosh! Go and do your own things!"

Sora, Donald and Goofy looks at one another as they turn back to him. "I think you better throw away that thought."

"WHY YOU…!!" The figure turns around turns out to be a person with a large dog like face. "YOU…YOU GUYS!!!"

"PETE?!" Both Donald and Goofy gasp.

"What are you guys doing here?!" Pete shouted as Donald stomps his feet. "That is our question!"

Sora looks at Goofy, "You knew this guy?"

"Yeah, Pete always creates lots of trouble in our kingdom. So, your majesty locked him up in another dimension. I wonder how he escaped from it."

"Haha, that's right! Maleficent saved me from that dimension. We planned to rule over your world…no, no…all the worlds, along with the Heartless! So you better watch out!!!"

"Maleficent…huh…" All three of them start to laugh, which pisses Pete off. "What are you all laughing about? Maleficent is very…"

"She's toasted."

"What? You…You all are the ones who did it right?!"

Sora crosses his arms over his head and grins, "Yeah…She's kinda in our way, you know?"

Pete growls as he shouts, "Heartless squad!! Come out!!!"

The small, familiar Shadows start to rise from the ground as they surround Sora's group. "Long time no see, little guys!" Sora grins as the Keyblade appears in his Hand. The Shadows were defeated in just a one minute. Swing the Keyblade over his shoulder, Sora looks at Pete.

"Say there, Mr Pete. Who lives in this tower anyway?"

"W..What? You don't know about it? It's that old geezer, Yen Sid."

"Master Yen Sid is here?!" Donald gasps as he dashes into the tower, while Sora turns to Goofy. "Who is he?"

"Master Yen Sid is the King's master!"

"Whoa, sounds awesome!" With that, they both run after Donald into the tower, totally ignore the presence of Pete.

In the Tower

When they enter the tower, they were amazed by its structure as they explore around. Looking back at the other two, Sora points to the stairs. "Guys, I think we should proceed up the stairs."

They agree and proceed. Along the way up the second level, they encounter more Shadows and Soldier Shadows. After defeating them, they reached a door to the second level as they step into the room. It was empty with another door leading to the staircase to the third level. Before they could proceed, more Heartless appear, using magic and moves like 'Cyclone', they easily defeat the enemies.

The road to the third level is the same to the second level. After the defeating of enemies in the room at third level, Donald stomps his feet. "Heartless! Heartless! HEARTLESS!! Nothing has changed at all!!"

"You mean…the world did not gain peace?" Sora looks at the other two as they shake their heads. "Let's just continue up to meet Master Yen Sid."

Into the top level

As they reach the top room, Donald and Goofy pace forth and salute at a old man sitting in the middle. "It's good to see you again, Master Yen Sid."

Sora, not know how he should react in this situation, just simply. "Hey there." This gesture makes Donald yells at him, "Sora! You're rude!"

"Now, now, it's alright." Yen Sid looks at each of them. "I bet that you have seen the King, haven't you?"

"Yes, Master Yen Sid. But we didn't get the chance to talk." Goofy explains.

"Yes, he is quite busy. It is up to me to instruct you of your upcoming journey."

"Journey?!" Sora realizes his sudden outburst, as he mumbles a small apology as he continues. "Umm…I thought our journey was over. I'm supposed to find my friend, Riku and returns to my island."

"Yes, I know. But Sora, you are the key that connects everything. Your choice will decide whether you are able to return to your island with your friend. Or the island will disappear."

Sora looks down, "I'm the…key?" Raising his hand, the Keyblade appears. Yen Sid looks at the Keyblade to Sora. "The one chosen by the Keyblade. You are the key to everything, this is your destiny. Here." He gives his hand a wave as a book appears on the table. "Read this, it will help you in your upcoming journey."

Sora steps forth as he opens the book and starts reading.

"The Beginning"

Each journey gives rise

to chance encounters,

and each encounter brings

forth a farewell.

When a farewell leads to

a journey, the worlds open

their hearts.

Those chosen by the light,

or ensnared by darkness.

Friends who share the

same bonds, though their

paths may differ.

When you doubt the path trod

thus far, when the hand you

held is lost to you, gaze anew

at the heart that once was...

For all the answers are within.

"Interlude"

A long dream.

A sad farewell, hanging in the air

in that "world between."

What is reality? What is illusion?

The path chosen by the young boy

leads to his memories.

When caught in the stream of

the days and nights going past,

gaze anew at your steps...

For there all confusion will end.

"The Future Story"

Will the day come when this battle, born

of confusion, will end?

It is different things to different people.

Can the reality be that which is hidden?

The reason is mere existence.

Still, memories can be believed.

Be not afraid. Entrust your body to the

soothing waves of your memories.

By and by, your fleeting rest will be over...

And everything will begin.

Finishing reading the book, Sora looks at Yen Sid. "Um…I have a question…"

"Yes?"

"Why is there still Heartless running about? I thought we have sealed the Door to Darkness?"

"It is true that your past journey stopped a lot of Heartless from invading. But Heartless were born due to the darkness in the hearts. You won't be able to eliminate them unless there's no darkness in one's heart."

All the three of them shrug their shoulders. "What are those hard works that we have done so far for?"

"Now then, I must tell you about your new enemies." Yen Sid gives his hand a wave as a replica of Donald appears beside them. It glows and changes into a Heartless. "If Donald's heart is stolen, he will become a heartless. All of you should know that, right?"

They nod. "In your upcoming journey, stronger enemies will appear." He gives his hand another wave as the Heartless disappears, while the white creature they have fought before appears. "This is the Nobody."

At the mention of the name, Sora's heart aches suddenly, making him wonders why. "The…Nobody?"

"When a person with a strong will and heart changed into a Heartless, the empty body they left behind starts to move on its own conscious and will. That is the Nobody. And this type of Nobody is the basic type, called Dusk." He gives his hand a wave again as the Dusk vanishes, only to be replace by a person dresses in a black coat.

"Black…coat…AHH!!" Sora clenches his head as he fells to his knees and winces in pain. Not only has his head hurts, his heart as well.

"Gwarsh! Sora, are you alright? You have been acting strange ever since we left the basement at Twilight Town."

Sora pants as he looks at them, "I…I don't know why I'm acting like this either…"

"Master Yen Sid, do you know what's going on with Sora?" Donald turns to Yen Sid, who just remains silent. Sora stands up with the help of his two friends as he looks from the black coat person to Yen Sid. "Who is this person?"

"They are the stronger Nobodies who controls over the other Nobodies. They formed an organization called the Organization XIII, consists of 13 powerful Nobodies, each is attributed a power and a certain type of Nobody. But what their true intention is, I do not know."

"Organization…XIII…" Sora mumbles as he eyes the person.

"They don't really exist. They don't have hearts. But, they pretend to have one, and pretend to have feelings. So, don't be fooled by them on your journey!"

Placing his hand on his chest, Sora looks down, "They…don't exist…don't have a heart…Why am I feeling…so sad?" Suddenly a view vision sweeps past before him.

"You are not supposed to exist..."

"And I'm a Nobody."

"Sora needs you to be whole again."

"SORA!!" Donald and Goofy shouted making Sora snaps back from the vision. "What..What?"

"We are supposed to ask you that! What's wrong? You suddenly zoned out."

"I'm…I'm sorry…" Sora rubs his head as he tries to recall what the visions are, he does not seem to remember it already.

Yen Sid stands up from his chair as he points to the door at the far end of the room. "Go through that door to get your clothes change, Sora. There will be three fairies there to help you. Don't you think that your clothes were too small for you?"

All three of them look at Sora, as they realized that it is true the old shirt looks small and tight on him. Sora's face flushes as he grins in embarrassment, as they go towards the door.

Inside the room

In the room, they saw three fairies chit-chatting among themselves. Sora looks back at his two comrades. "The Nodies, the Organization XIII. I don't know what's happening but…I know that we will manage everything if we stick together."

They nod in agreement as Sora moves towards the fairies. "Excuse me, ladies…"

All the fairies turn around as the red one speaks first. "Oh, hello there Sora. The three of us will hereby grant you new clothing for your upcoming journey. Well, let's begin."

The blue and green fairies get Sora into position as the green fairy casts her spell on Sora's clothes, changing it into green. The blue fairy complains as she changes it into blue, while the red fairy did the same aftermaths. While they are fighting, a crow is at a opening of the tower, looks down on them casting magic and then flies off.

Sora could not stand it any longer. "Argh!! Could you all just make up your minds?!"

The fairies gasp as they smile to one another. "Alright then ladies, we will do it together." They wave their wands at the same time, sending blue, green and red beams onto Sora, as his clothes changes into a black, mix with blue, red and yellow. Sora was fascinated by his new outfit as he grins widely, and takes out his Keyblade to make a few pose.

"That's no ordinary clothes, dear. Here, take the orb." A yellow orb appears floating before him, as he reaches out to touch it. Waves of new power and energy start to flow through his body as his clothes flash a bright light, and it changes into an all red-black version. Not only that, he notices another Keyblade was on his other hand. "Whoa…"

"The journey will be hard from now, so you will need new powers. The other powers of that clothe must be discovered by yourself. Master Yen Sid had something else to give to you all as well."

"Alright! Thanks a lot!" The clothe changed back to the black one as they exit the room.

Back to Yen Sid

Yen Sid was standing by the window as he beckons Sora and the others to go to him. As soon as they reach him, the saw their old Gummi Ship floating outside the tower.

"It's the Gummi Ship!! Oh boy!!"

"Well, then…" Sora looks at the other two, as they jump back in line and was about to salute when Yen Sid stops them. "Wait!" They shrug.

"Due to the sealing of Kingdom Hearts, the paths to the worlds were close, do you all know that?"

They nod.

"But somehow, the darkness manages to find their way into the worlds again."

"Eh?! That's unfair."

"Now, now. Do not worry. As new paths can be opened by unlocking special gates in each world. And about the gates, your Keyblade will signal you where it was. Alright then, that's all I can say now, my duty is over. Go forth, Sora, Donald, Goofy."

They smile to one another as the three salute Yen Sid. "Master Yen Sid, thank you for everything." The moment they went off, Yen Sid disappears into thin air.

While with the fairies

"W..What is this?!"

They look at the crow that in front of them, standing on of a black-purple robe.

"This robe looks like…"

"I know! It's Malefi…" She covers her mouth immediately.

"Stop! We mustn't think about it! Oh no…the memories were starting to return." The robe starts to move as the three of them panic. "We must inform Master Yen Sid!!" Two of the fairies disappear as the robe starts to take shape.

"Ma..Maleficent!!" The last fairy gasps as she left the room as well.

Looking around, Maleficent starts to laugh as her laughter echoes through the tower.

On the Gummi Ship

All of a sudden, Sora feels a shiver down his spine. "What was that about…?"

It is then two familiar voice sound through the receiver. It is the Gummi Engineers, Chip and Dale.

"Hi there, Sora! The both of us will be at your service again!"

"Thanks a lot, Chip and Dale! Let me see, what's the next destination." He looks at the map, only to notice one world that was link to them. "Only one?"

"But it looks like some place we know."

"Well, then…" Sora tighten his seat belts as he puts his hands on the wheel. "Let's go then!"

TBC…

Hahax, end!!
