A/N: So here's the second prologue, I guess. I decided I needed one for each game because the stories are independent, and therefore need their own starting points. Obviously, the plan is that they won't stay independent, but they have to come together, they won't start together. Well, here it goes. For the record, this is after Kingdom Hearts 3D came out, just in case anybody looks at this after more games have come into existence and rendered this obsolete. I apologize in advance, I know this prologue won't be as interesting, because not much is happening on the KH side initially.
§ Prologue: Waiting §
"Finally!" Sora cheered.
"It's about time," commented Riku.
Sora glared at before responding, "It only took two tries!"
Riku smirked and said, "Yeah, you're right. I have to give you some credit. That's fewer times than anybody was expecting."
"Hey!" Sora exclaimed, becoming indignant as Donald, Goofy, and Lea snickered. As usual, Yen Sid stood stoically quiet in the background.
King Mickey only smiled.
Yen Sid, after a few moments' pause, stepped forward. "You have deserved this for a great while, and it is my pleasure to finally grant you this well-earned reward. Sora, I name you a true Keyblade Master."
Donald spoke up, loudly announcing his ignorance, as he often does, "What was that? You already said that!"
Goofy tried to help clear things up for his friend, "Well, Donald, he only said that Sora passed. He has to make it formal, I think."
Never one to lose track of his goals, Lea inquired, "So this is great and all, but what do we do now?"
At this, everyone looked toward where Yen Sid and His Majesty were standing together, expecting guidance from their leaders. Realizing this, Mickey glanced toward the wizard before answering, "Well, we were discussing that earlier, and we decided that the best thing for you all to do is to go back home and train. Lea doesn't need much, but Kairi could use quite a bit of practice. Sora and Riku need to keep in form anyway."
The pair from Disney Castle's court became visibly disheartened at this, realizing that they would have to leave their friends again. Who knew how long it would be before Xehanort actually began his attack? He was shrewd and cunning, and they might have to wait years before even something small happens.
Without much fanfare, the group gave a few small goodbyes before Sora, Riku, Kairi, and Lea departed for departed for Destiny Islands in Sora's gummi ship. Upon arrival, they set to work showing Lea around, making arrangements for his housing, readjusting to life as usual, and of course, training.
At first, just waiting for Xehanort to begin everything seemed an eerie and foreboding prospect, but soon they settled into the normalcy of their old life.
A/N: So... there it was. Ta da! Hope you enjoyed. Or at least I hope it helps establish where in the story you are coming in.
