In The Lanes Between
Both Riku and Kairi were on their gliders heading to the first World on their journey. But Kairi couldn't help but to worry about Sora.
"Do you think Sora will be okay?" Kairi asked.
"Don't worry Kairi Sora can look after himself." Riku said.
"Uh but you know he's useless without us." Kairi said.
"True but let's focus on the mission at hand." Riku said.
"Yeah but you know this is going to be the first I've been to that I haven't run away to your been kidnapped." Kairi said.
"Well he it comes." Riku said. Kairi looked ahead and saw a floating island with a pirate ship nearby.
"So what's this world called?" Kairi asked.
"You've been there before its Neverland." Riku said.
A few moments later
Once they landed their Keyblade Gliders and armour disappeared. They looked around to find themselves in a lagoon.
"So what now?" Kairi asked.
"Well let's take a look around and try to find Peter Pan but if we do find him you better do the talking." Riku asked.
"Why!" Kairi asked.
"Well last time I was here I was working with Maleficent." Riku explained.
"Riku we got to learn to let go of the past we can't change it no matter how much we want to." Kairi said.
"I know to just not easy." Riku said.
They then started to walk forwards but known to them Tinker Bell was watching them and flew off. A few moments later at Peter's Hideout Tinker Bell flew into the hide out and started to wake the Lost Boys who were sleeping.
"What's the matter Tink?" Slightly asked. Tinker Bell twinkled.
"What that guy who kidnapped Wendy is back." Cuddly said.
"And there's a girl with him." Nibs finished.
"Then let's get them." The Twins said at the same time. They then all grabbed their weapons and rushed out of the hideout.
Meanwhile Riku and Kairi were still walking around until they saw some rocks firing their way. Quickly they dodged and looked at the direction of where they came from and saw the Lost Boy on top of a hill.
"Why did you done that for?" Kairi asked.
"Well you're the ones who started it when you tried to kidnap Wendy two years ago." Cuddly said.
"I didn't kidnap anyone." Kairi said.
"But I did. Listen I'm sorry for what I've done but leave Kairi out of it." Riku said.
"It's a trick fire again men." Slightly ordered.
They then started to throw rocks at them. But this time Riku and Kairi summoned their Keyblades and blocked the attack.
"Hold your fire men." A voice called out. Everyone looked up to see Peter Pan flying down. "Now what's all this about."
"It's that guy that helped kidnapped Wendy two years ago." The twins said at the same time.
"I know that men but she hasn't done anything to us." Peter Pan said pointing at Kairi. Tinker Bell then flew into Peter's face twinkled at him angrily. "What do you mean I'm not defending her I'm just saying that she hasn't done anything to harm us." Suddenly a group of Heartless Shadows and Soldiers appeared. "Heartless men attack."
The Lost Boys started to attack the Heartless and Peter pulled out his dagger and charged at them. Riku and Kairi started to bash the Heartless with their Keyblades. Unknown to Peter a Solider was about to jump on him but Riku cast a Dark Firaga spell and blasted the Heartless. Peter looked around and smiled at Riku but soon they found themselves surrounded.
"There too many of them." Peter yelled.
Suddenly Kairi started to glow and sent out a shockwave of light destroying all of the Heartless. Once the light died down Kairi began to fell to the ground. Riku caught Kairi and lifted here in his arms.
"We need to find a place so she can regain her strength." Riku said.
"Let's take her back to the hideout." Peter said.
Meanwhile on Captain Hook's ship
Captain Hook was on his ship looking through his telescope. Once he lowered it he went into a rage.
"Blast it!" Hook said throwing his telescope on to the ground.
"I told you it was too soon." A voice said.
Hook turned around to find a guy in a black coat the only thing you can tell from him was that he was a head smaller than Hook.
"You don't order me around this is my ship." Hook said.
"True but I didn't give you those Heartless just so you can kill Peter Pan." The guy said.
"Just remember our deal I'll get you the Princess and you take care of Peter Pan and that blasted Crocodile." Hook said.
"I haven't forgotten our deal." The guy said walking away. Mr Smee then walked up to Hook.
"Mr Smee keep an eye on him I don't trust him. He reminds me of that boy Riku before he re-joined his friends." Hook said.
"Aye Captain!" Smee said.
Meanwhile in Peter Pan's hideout
Kairi was lying on a bed being looked after by the Lost Boy and Tinker Bell and Riku and Peter were in his room talking.
"So this Maleficent tricked you to work for her and that's why you turned on Sora." Peter said after Riku explained.
"I was jealous and angry and Maleficent used that against me." Riku said.
"Well we all make mistakes by the way why are you here and where's Sora?" Peter asked.
"Sora is on mission and I don't know when he will be back. As for why we are here both me and Kairi are trying to find information on Organization XIII." Riku said.
"Organization XIII what's that?" Peter asked.
"A group of people who our trying to start a war of control over the heart of all worlds." Riku explained.
"Wish we could help." Peter said.
"Maybe you can have you seen anyone wearing a black coat?" Riku asked.
"Tink said that she saw a guy in a black coat on Hook's ship." Peter said.
"Really then once Kairi is rested we better investigate." Riku said.
"Not alone you're not I'm coming with you." Peter said.
"You don't need to we can handle it." Riku said.
"You mean you can handle it. Kairi isn't as good of a swordsmen as you and Sora you'll need my help." Peter said. Then Slightly entered the room.
"Peter Kairi's awake." Slightly said.
Both Riku and Peter entered the main room to find Kairi getting up. Only to fall to the floor again the Twins helped her up.
"You alright?" Riku asked.
"I think so I just feel so drained." Kairi said.
"After that burst of light I'm not surprised." Peter said.
"I still don't know where that power came from." Kairi said.
"I think you've always had that power don't forget you are a Princess of Heart." Riku reminded.
"I know but enough about me what's our next move?" Kairi asked.
"Well in the morning I suggest we go to Hook's ship and find out more about the guy in the black coat." Riku suggested.
"Then can you tell us a story then." All the Lost Boys said looking at Kairi.
"They're not going to stop until you tell them a story." Peter said.
"Alright I'll tell you the one that my Grandam used to tell me." Kairi said then all the Lost Boys gathered around to listen. "Long ago people leaved in peace bathed in the warmth of light. Everyone loved the light. Then people began to fight over it. They wanted the light fir themselves and Darkness was born in their hearts. The Darkness spread swallowing the light and many people's hearts. It covered everything and the world disappeared. But small fragments of light survived in the hearts of children. With these fragments of light children rebuilt the lost world. It's the world we live in now. But the true light sleeps deep within the darkness. That's why the worlds are still scattered divided from each other. But someday a door to the innermost darkness will open and the true light will return. So listen even in the deepest darkness there will always be a light to guild you. Believe in the light and the darkness will never defeat you. Your hearts will shine with its power and push the darkness away."
Once she finished the Lost Boys started to fall asleep. Kairi walked over to Riku, Peter and Tinker Bell.
"It's not just a fairy tale is it?" Peter said.
"If only." Riku said.
"Well I say we should get some sleep Kairi you can have my room." Peter said. Tinker Bell then started to twinkle angrily. "Settle down Tink as soon as they finished their mission they'll be on their way."
The next morning
Riku, Kairi, Peter, Tinker Bell and the Lost Boys were standing on a cliff looking down on Hook's ship.
"So how are we going to get down their?" Riku asked.
"Simple with a little bit of pixie dust." Peter said. But Tinker Bell didn't move a muscle. "Come on Tink." But Tinker Bell still didn't move. "Well guess they'll have to stay with us." Tinker Bell eyes widen and started to throw pixie dust at them. "Okay now you can fly you just have to believe."
Then Peter and the Lost Boys began to fly. Riku and Kairi looked at each other and nodded they jumped off the cliff and found themselves floating in mid-air. Then all of them flew towards Hook's ship. Once they landed they looked around to find nobody was around.
"Okay where is that old Codfish?" Peter said confused.
"I don't know but this smell like a trap." Riku said.
Suddenly Pirates and Air Pirates Heartless appeared out of nowhere. Both Riku and Kairi summoned their Keyblades while Peter and the Lost Boy pulled their weapons out. The Heartless Pirates started to slash their swords at them but Riku casted a Thunderaga spell destroying a good number of them. Kairi blocked a Pirates attack and kicked it away but some Air Pirates swooped down to attack here. Peter flew into the air and started slice the Air Pirates with his dagger while dodging their attacks. Then two Battleship appeared and blasted the group destroying a few Heartless as well. Only Riku was left conscious with one knee on the floor and panting for breath he looked up to see a guy in a Black Coat.
"So we meet again." The guy said.
"Have we met?" Riku asked.
"Oh I think you know me very well." The guy said pulling his hood down. Riku gasped to find himself face to face with to himself only younger and with yellow eyes and pointed ears.
"You're me." Riku said.
"Wrong I'm a better version of you I'm the clone that Vexen created." Riku Replica said.
"But you were destroyed." Riku said.
"You forget most of the Organization are from the past." Riku Replica said.
"So it was you how I saw in the Realm of Sleep." Riku said.
"Yes it was my job to get you to fall into the darkness but it backfired but no matter we've got our thirteenth vessel now." Riku Replica said.
"You don't mean Sora!" Riku said in a worried tone.
"No but we do have someone just as good. But enough of this let end it." Riku Replica said summoning Soul Eater.
He then jumped at Riku and slammed it on his head then everything went black. When Riku opened his eyes he followed himself tied to a mast alone with the Lost Boys. He looked around to find himself surrounded my Heartless ahead of he saw Peter tied to a anchor next to his replica and Kairi tied up next to Hook on the quarter deck. He looked at the side to find the Crocodile tied up with its mouth wide open and a Pirate Heartless putting its hand into like it was looking for something.
"As we agreed I've caught Peter Pan and the Crocodile so I'll take the Princess." Riku Replica said.
"Aye but what do you want from the Crocodile?" Hook said.
"Does it matter either way the Crocodile will be off your back?" Riku Replica said.
"True then just hand over Pan and you'll get the Princess." Hook said.
But just as they were handing the hostages over a portal opened and Sora in his Keyblade armour flew down on his Keyblade glider at them and cut the ropes around Peter and Kairi who quickly got away from their captives. So then landed next to them and his armour disappeared.
"Nice to see you again Sora could you cut it any closer?" Peter asked pulling his dagger out.
"You recue a guy from his archenemy and this is how he thanks me." Sora said summoning his Keyblade.
"How about we deal with them before we start fighting each other?" Kairi said summoning her Keyblade.
"So we meet again Sora." Riku Replica said jumping down into the main deck.
"You may look like Riku but your nothing like him." Sora said.
"Of course it was the time you exploded Castle Oblivion and lost your memories. Last time we left as friends but this time we are enemies." Riku Replica said summoning Soul Eater.
He charged at Sora and raised Soul Eater ready to slash at Sora. Sora blocked the attack and pushed Riku Replica away. As the two of them were trading blows Hook looked down at Kairi and Peter.
"Heartless recapture the Princess." Hook ordered. The Heartless then turned and walked towards Kairi. Hook then jumped down on to the main deck and pulled his sword out. "Today I'll be rid of you once and of all Pan."
"We'll see about that." Peter said.
Peter then flew towards Hook ready to strike with his dagger. Hook blocked it and tried to slash at him with his Hook. Peter dodged and Hook's hook got trapped in the mast while Hook was trying to get free Peter freed Riku who summoned his Keyblade and the Lost Boys who ran to their weapons and started to help Kairi with the Heartless.
While that was going on Sora and Riku Replica were still fighting. Once they clashed their weapons against each other Riku Replica looked to see things weren't going as he planned.
"Grab the Crocodile and let's get out of here." Riku Replica ordered.
Two Heartless Pirates ran to the Crocodile and vanished. Then Riku Replica pulled away from Sora and opened a Dark Corridor and jumped in it. Once Hook got free he saw that Riku Replica and the Heartless were gone.
"Argh you've won this day Pan but next time I'll have you head." Hook yelled and ran to his cabin.
After everyone flew back to the island Sora explained what Master Xehanort had told him.
"So he's collecting these Thirteen Vessels of Darkness." Riku said.
"I don't get why your clone wanted that Crocodile." Kairi said.
"I think I can answer that. When I cut Hook's hand off I threw it into that very Crocodile and it liked the taste of him so much that Crocodile follows Hook around trying to eat him. However the Crocodile swallowed an alarm clock allowing Hook to hear him coming." Peter explained
"So you think that the alarm clock is a Thirteen Vessels of Darkness." Kairi said.
"That would be my guess." Sora said.
"Then we got to find the others before Xehanort does." Riku said.
"Guess you guys will be moving off." Peter said.
"Sorry Peter but duty calls." Sora said.
"Well it was nice seeing you again next time bring Donald and Goofy with you." Peter said.
"Count on it." Sora said.
The three of them then pressed their shoulder guards and their armour appeared. Then they threw their Keyblades into the sky and they transformed into their gliders. They hopped on and flew into a portal and started to travel to a new world.
