The figure stood there, focusing all of his energy to the palm of his hand, and in a flash of darkness, a large key like weapon appeared.

This weapon was the most unique weapon the figure had ever seen. It literally looked like a giant key that was black and white, with a design that was oddly familiar to him. He was confused by the sight of it, especially when it came to the colors. The white and the black complemented each other perfectly, even though they were so opposite. It reminded him of his darkness and a source light he once knew…

Wait… Was he beginning to remember?

He could not think about that any longer however since the Dark One approached him. "I see you are the first to summon the keyblade, well done." He said in that deep voice he always spoke in.

The figure then turned to face the Dark One. "What, no one else has summoned theirs yet?" He asked. It had been several hours since the Dark One told them how to summon a keyblade. It already took him so long to summon it, and he figured that someone else had summoned it before him.

"I'm afraid not. Summoning a keyblade is not as easy as some may make it seem. You all have the ability to wield one, but you all forgot how to, so it will just take time." The Dark One spoke before tilting his head in a jester that made the figure look over to where his head was leaning towards. He then saw the other figures, all standing their emotionless, trying to summon their keyblades, but nothing came. The figure could only snicker at this. "I wasn't expecting you to have trouble summoning it though."

The figure then looked at the Dark One with much curiosity on his face. "Why did you think that?" He asked.

The Dark One then snickered. "Let's just say before you lost your memories, you never let anything idiotic stand in your way, you always found a way to succeed." The Dark One replied as he began to walk away towards the other figures but the figure stopped him.

"Why do you want us to summon these keyblades anyway?" He asked as the Dark One turned to him once more.

"There are people that need to be taken care of as soon as possible, uptaining keyblades is the only way to do so." The Dark One replied.

"If they need to be taken care of as soon as possible why aren't you doing anything?" The figure said. The Dark One only chuckled at this comment, since it seemed he was beginning to get his old personality back.

"I have someone that one of them knows dealing with them until you can all deal with them as well." The Dark One said one last time as he left without a word. The figure only looked at the Dark One a last time before going back, trying to remember his past.

Sora sat on the sideways tree with Kairi sitting next to him and Riku leaning against the tree not too far away. It was nearly dawn, but everyone was on the island that day. Sora figured it was because some newcomers had come to the island just recently, Yuna, Paine, and Riku (Sora found it funny how now Terra and Riku had to live with the face that they had the same name as girls). Sora had met them before at the Radiant Garden, back when they were working for Maleficent, when they looked like pixies. But apparently that wasn't their true form since they looked like regular human beans now. Tidus and Wakka, who now have matured into young men, had been showing them around, since they did know each other from they're home world.

Riku looked out towards the horizon, breathing in a breath of the sea breeze as it came in. "Man, I don't know how I survived all those years not waking up every morning and seeing this; the dawn is just beautiful." Riku said, trying to break the silence that normally came over them when they came here.

"You can say that again." Kairi said, leaning her head against Sora's shoulder.

"I don't get how we can come out here and do this every day, you would think we would have gotten bored by now." Sora said.

"That's because you can't get bored with this." Riku replied. Sora only nodded at this, but did have to admit, they have been doing the same thing every day since they got home: wake up, get dressed, and come to the island to look at the sun upon the horizon every day. Even though Riku was right, and they could never get bored with this, he would like to do something different for a change. Sora then began to think silently of things they could do, and then it hit him.

"I got it!" Sora exclaimed, causing Kairi to lift her head off of his shoulder. That was a good thing she did, since Sora then quickly jumped off the tree right after that and looked at Riku, who only looked back at him. "Hey Riku, how about a quick round? Get your keyblade out!" Sora said, placing his hands on his hips.

Riku only looked at him funny. "What? Are you kidding, we haven't done that since we were kids Sora." Riku replied. He was right, the last time they had a fight was when they were still fighting with the wooden swords, no magic, summons, and no keyblades.

"What? Are you scared Riku? You sure sound like you are." Sora mocked.

Riku only snickered at this comment. "Come on Riku, it will be fun watching you two beat the crap out of each other again." Kairi said, "And I am sure the others will like to see you two fight again too."

Riku only shook his head before holding out his hand, letting way to dawn appear in it. "Fine, you're on!" Riku exclaimed. (Destiny Islands Battle Theme – Kingdom Hearts) But before Sora could do anything, Riku charged at him, making Sora back up and fall off the side of the island. Thankfully, Sora did do an aerial recovery and did land in the shallow part of the water. Sora then summoned his keyblade and looked up at Riku.

"You know for a second there I thought you were actually trying to hurt me." Sora said, brushing off his shoulder before taking his keyblade and quickly firing a blast of light at his silver haired friend. Riku did jump over the orb of light, just managing to dodge it, and landed in the shallow part of the water with Sora not to far away from him.

"Hurt you? Ha, never." Riku said sarcastically before he charged at Sora again. Kairi only watched the two from the island before she jumped down and went onto the beaches to get a better view. Right when she got there thought, she was approached by Tidus and the others.

"Fighting again?" Tidus asked as Kairi nodded. Tidus only snickered at her nod. "Back question, when were they not fighting?"

"Just like old times, yah?" Wakka said.

"You can say that again." Selphie said, also approaching the group. She then looked over to see Paine, Rikku, and Yuna, who was getting very close to Tidus over at her left. "This is what you three have to get used to." Selphie continued.

"That shouldn't be a problem." Yuna said, resting her head on Tidus' shoulder. Kairi could tell that before they lived here, they did have something for each other back on their home world, ad this only made her smile.

"Sora and Riku never do change." Kairi said as she continued to watch the battle. Sora was trying to get any combo hit he could on Riku, but every time he tried his keyblade sliced through air since Riku was moving out of the way. Sora then jumped up into the air, trying to get Riku from above, but Riku dodged that as well.

"Come on Sora, I thought you were stronger than that." Riku teased Sora only laughed at this as he slammed his keyblade into the water, spraying Riku with it. Sora then ran right to Riku and hit him once with the keyblade. Riku jumped back at this, landing on the small island with the sideways tree on it. Riku then only sent a glare down to Sora before he fired a blast of blizzard at the spiky haired teen. Thankfully he dodged that, since when Sora looked back at where the blizzard hit, the water around it was frozen. Riku then jumped down from the island, trying to attack Sora from above, but Sora also dodged that.

"Give up yet Riku?" Sora asked as Riku tried to bring his keyblade down on him, but Sora brought his keyblade up to block the attack, making Sora and Riku face to face.

"You know me, I don't give up." Riku said followed by a snicker. Riku then pushed Sora back and jumped towards him, hitting Sora with his keyblade several times before Sora fired a blast of light at Riku, making him fly backwards. Riku landed on his feet thought and only wiped his lip, but he couldn't do that for long since Sora ran right after him once again. Riku and Sora where then trying to hit each other again but they only continued to block each other's hits. These failed attempts to make an attack only proved to Kairi that her two best friends where evenly matched.

Riku then backed away from Sora, causing his keyblade to hit the ground. Sora only gave Riku a look at this before running after him again but when Sora got to him and swung his keyblade, it only hit air. Sora then looked around, seeing Riku was nowhere to be seen, but when he felt Riku's keyblade make contact with his shoulder, he knew where he was. Before Riku could make any more hits on his friend, Sora quickly turned around, blocked Riku's next attempt to get an attack on him, and got a good combo on the silver haired teen. Riku then shook it off after this, but then Riku turned to see where Sora was, and found him nowhere. Riku continued to look, but then he felt something lightly be placed on his back, and this only made him hold his hands up. "Do you surrender?" Sora asked Riku.

"Not a chance." Riku said as he brought his hand around with way to dawn, but Sora knocked it out of his hands. But Riku only smiled at this and slid his foot towards Sora's ankle, causing the keyblade master to fall into the water when they made contact. Riku then resummoned his keyblade and pointed it at Sora. "I think the better question would be do you surrender Sora?" Riku asked.

But before Riku could do anything else, Sora kicked his ankle in a similar matter and made Riku fall to the ground, right into the water face first. Sora only laughed as Riku's head came out of the water, his long silver hair now soaked. Riku only shot Sora a grin, but then found himself laughing as well. The two continued to laugh along with the others watching on the beach, but then when Sora and Riku heard the others stop laughing suddenly, the where confused. But they then looked up at the sky and saw why they stopped laughing.

It was because the sky was pitch black and the world went dark.
