Sora, Riku, Kairi, Roxas and Xion all decided to separate when they exited the tower. Sora, Riku and Kairi would go to The Land of Departure to get Aqua, Terra and Ven while Roxas and Xion would go back to Twilight Town to get Lea and Namine. Their plan after that was then to meet up at Radiant Garden so they could discuss what was going to happen next.

Sora, Riku and Kairi landed in the Land of Departure first, this being the first time any of them had seen the world in its true glory. "Wow the world looks great." Sora said as he looked around, seeing the huge castle out in front of them.

"I'll say." Riku replied as they began to walk up the stairs towards the castle. When they made it to the top of the stairs they saw the three people they came here for, talking together in a circle. It took a few moments for them to realize the Destiny Islands trio was here.

Aqua was the first to see them. "Hey!" She said happily as she ran up and tried her best to hug all three of them, catching them off guard. Really Aqua only had enough arm space to hug Kairi however. "It's so good to see you guys!"

Riku then turned to Terra, who put his hand out for one of those guy handshakes. "Good to see you guys are in town." Terra said happily.

"It's just good to see you guys," Riku said.

Sora then looked over at Ven, who was coming towards him. "What brings you three here?" He asked.

Sora then took the two of his hands and placed them behind his head and gave a nervous look. "Well that's some of the bad news we brought." Sora said.

Aqua then turned to look at him. "What happened?" She asked.

Riku and Kairi then glanced over to Sora, as if they wanted him to break the news to the three of them. It took a few seconds before Sora actually gave in. "Destiny Islands fell into darkness." Sora finally said.

The Land of Departure trio then looked at the Destiny Islands trio in shock. "What? How did that happen?" Ven asked with fear in his voice.

"How did what happen?" A new voice said. The six of them then turned to see an older man with scars on his face, black hair and a long white robe over him.

"Master Eraqus!" Aqua, Terra and Ven said as the older master made it down the stairs.

"Wait, this is your old master?" Riku asked.

"Oh, that's right; we never introduced you to him." Terra said. The Destiny Island trio already knew that he was resurrected by Xehanort and now fighting for the good side, but they had never met him before. "Sora, Riku, Kairi, this is Master Eraqus, the man that thought us everything we know."

Sora, Riku and Kairi then all took a short bow to the master. "Please, you don't need to bow for me, I should be bowing for you three, since you mostly are the reason the second Keyblade War was won on for the light." Eraqus said as Sora, Riku and Kairi stopped bowing.

"Now back to what we were talking about, how did Destiny Islands fall into darkness?" Aqua asked.

"We aren't really sure," Kairi replied, "The only piece of evidence we have is that a former enemy of Riku's was there and destroyed our gummi ship, the only way of all getting out of there safely."

"Who is this enemy of yours?" Terra asked.

"Former Replica from when this place was called Castle Oblivion, long story not worth telling." Riku replied.

"Well how did that bring you three here?" Ven asked.

"Yen Sid fears that the worlds could be in danger from the darkness again and wants us to go and travel to more worlds to keep them safe." Sora replied.

Aqua, Terra and Ven then all exchanged worried looks. "Look guys, I know that you want us to help you, but our world still needs some fixing up to it." Aqua replied.

"And not only that but if the darkness is coming back, we should stay here and protect it." Terra said.

"Wait, so you guys aren't coming?" Sora asked.

"Where sorry, but our world needs us right now." Ventus said.

"What are you children talking about?" Master Eraqus interrupted. "You would not go save the worlds once again?"

"Well don't we need to continue to help and protect this world?" Terra asked.

"I will not deny the fact that this world still needs to be brought to it pervious glory, nor that it could be in danger from the darkness. But if we only just focused on our world, there might as well not be other worlds. Other worlds are what make everything complete and without them this world would be incomplete."

"So you are saying that we should go with them?" Aqua asked as the master nodded.

"But what about you? If this world really is in danger and you are here all alone, what would we do then?" Ven asked.

"You children should know by now that if something did happen to me, our hearts would bring us together again. It's happened before and it can happen again." Eraqus said. "Besides, you three should know by now that I look at you three like my own children, and that makes the bonds between us even stronger."

Aqua, Terra and Ven then looked at their master with smiles on their faces before all three of them went in and hugged him. "So does this mean you three are coming with us then?" Kairi asked.

The four of them then stopped hugging. "Of course we are." Terra said.

"Well then we should get out of here as soon as possible, we told Roxas and Xion we would meet them in the Radiant Garden as soon as possible." Riku said.

"Right!" Aqua, Terra and Ven said as the six of them then tapped the armor guards on their shoulders and summoned their keyblade riders. They then all got onboard and hovered in the air above where they were standing.

"Good luck to you all!" Eraqus said to them as they all nodded before riding off into the stars.

"Lea, for heaven's sake, you can play the game when we get home!" Namine said angrily at the pyro, who would not stop playing the thirty year old game in the Twilight Town Arcade.

"Just give me five minutes; I almost beat my high score!" Lea replied back, not removing his eyes from the screen.

"What is more important: Fix-It Felix, Jr. or the fate of all worlds?" Xion asked him. She was probably the one that was getting the most annoyed with Lea playing this game nonstop. Lea didn't even know Twilight Town had an arcade until they got back home from the biggest battle of their lives, but since he had discovered it, especially Fix-It Felix, Jr., he hasn't left since.

Lea did not reply to the comment and almost began to hesitate. That is when Roxas drew the line. "I can't take this anymore!" Roxas then pushed Lea out of the way, took the joystick, and made Fix-It Felix run into one of the objects the villain, Wreck-It Ralph, was throwing at him, causing him to die.

Lea only looked at Roxas in disbelief. "How could you?!" Lea exclaimed, nearly getting ready to summon his keyblade in anger.

"I cannot believe that you would rather play a video game then save the worlds from darkness!" Roxas exclaimed, Xion and Namine nodding in agreement.

"It is not a video game; it is a way of life." Lea replied, causing the other three to only roll their eyes.

"Well you can get back to your 'way of life' when we save the worlds." Namine replied.

"But do I have-" Lea was cut off.

"Yes Lea, you have to! Now come on, let's get out of here and head to the Radiant Garden." Xion said as Lea only sighed but followed the three teenagers out of the arcade and out into the sunlight, ready to face the new journey they had ahead of them.

He was standing in the middle of darkness with no way out and nothing around him.

He looked around, trying to figure out where he was but he could not put his finger on it. He was just in a pitch black area with no way in or no way out. It was weird; he felt like he had been here before, but his memories where still not coming back to him so he was not sure.

The figure then turned his head suddenly after hearing the noise of footsteps hitting the hard floor. He then saw someone in a black coat covering it head to toe walking away from him. The hood was covering the person's face so he could not tell what this person looked like or if this person was even safe to be around, but he was willing to take his chances.

"Wait!" He yelled as he ran towards the figure as fast as he could. It felt like he was running in slow motion and the figure was only getting farther and farther away from him, but he did not give up. He somehow managed to then catch up to the person, who came to a stop.

He then put his hands on his knees and let out several long breaths before raising his head to look at the figure. The figure then turned to look up at him, since he was taller than this figure. He then looked at the person and was shocked. He knew this person; he couldn't even see the person's face and he could tell that he knew whoever this was.

He was then about to speak but the figure only placed it's hand on his lips. "It's alright; everything will come back to you soon, I promise." The figure said, sounding like a male and female voice where speaking in unison. He knew both of those voices, he knew them, but he couldn't remember.

The figure then turned around quickly and began to walk away. "Wait!" He said as she walked, but this time he could not run to her since he was really running in slow motion now. And it wasn't long before the figure was gone. "Please! Don't leave me here alone! I'm scared!" He said but it was already too late…

The figure then woke up, breathing heavily. He looked around him to see the other figures still trying to summon their keyblades, but still failing. He figured that he must have dozed off when he was trying to think about that light he once knew.

But the thing was that nightmare was probably the best thing that had happened to him all day. That figure in his dream was the light he once knew, he just knew it had to be. When he was by that figure, he felt… Comfortable. And when he was being honest to himself, he wished the nightmare had continued long enough so he could have seen that person's face.

The figure then dusted himself off and stood up, trying to look like he was perfectly fine even though he had that nightmare. Luckily, it did not look like anyone had seen him wake up from that nightmare, but little did he know that the Dark One was watching him from a distance.

"At last, it looks like you are finally beginning to remember."


Bout time I updated huh? I know and I am sorry but I had finals and unfortunitly does do come first. But I'm back now!

So I am pretty sure what happened in the arcade gave you all a little hit of what world is going to be used :)

So i have been trying to keep up with all this Jump Festa and they annocued a release date for HD remix in Japan (March 14th) but... still no talk about it being released OUTSIDE of Japan. I must say, I am getting a little nervious over here.

Also, I have a question for you all. So the groups are odviuosly going to go on a trip to save the worlds again and I wanted to know who you wanted to be with who. So I want each group to have three people in it (four for one) and I have no clue who is going to be in what group. So just tell me who you want to be in what group. Here's a short example: Sora, Ven, and Xion, Aqua, Namine, and Riku (ha poor Riku), and Terra, Lea, Kairi, and Roxas. Just a plain stupid example but please let me know!

So anyway, please R&R and look out for the next chapter!
