Chapter 3

[Play KH ReChain Of Memories OST Destiny Islands]

It's been about two and a half months ever since Sora had arrived to this new world, and he's managed to adapt rather quickly. Thanks to the yen that was loaned by Inko, Sora was able to have some casual clothing, and not just his regular attire, though he did get clothes that ended up looking exactly like his older wardrobe from previous adventures, and those were his preferred clothes to casually wear.

While Izuku was out cleaning up the coastline for his training, Sora would sit by the stairs, and either be reading about this worlds history, cheering his friend on, or fighting any Heartless that found this spot. Whenever the Heartless showed up, it let Sora stretch out his body a bit, since he wasn't legally allowed to fight them in the city, he could really only fight the ones that were in closed off areas, or in places where no one was around. It sucked, because he felt like he needed to get stronger, as well as actually do his job. But he also understood that he had to obey the laws of this world, and considering that he still needed to keep the other worlds a secret from the rest of the population, he had to oblige, or try to explain to the other heroes why a random teen is going around, doing their job.

The history of this world was very weird to Sora, even weirder than the other worlds that he's been to. And he's been to some crazy worlds. Apparently somewhere in China, a kid had somehow gotten a superpower that made him glow, and then more and more people started getting these powers. At first it was chaotic, but over time, the world started to accept this as the norm, dubbing the powers as Quirks, making "The Hero" a job title, and then just talking about certain historical battles between the greatest heroes and some of the most powerful villains.

The laws in this world were weird as well, but not uncalled for. Making Quirks illegal, unless by heroes or people with compatible quirks doing certain jobs would make the world less chaotic. And it also helps that students can do hero work after getting a license during their second year, meaning that there are plenty more heroes than what is actually documented, and there always will be, because everyone wants to be a hero in this world. It just felt a bit strange that it wasn't allowed for self defense against someone else using their Quirk on you, but if heroes really are everywhere, than these incidents probably rarely happen at all.

Almost two weeks go by and it's basically the same. Sora while on his way to the coastline, take down any group of Heartless that he sees in unpopulated areas, sits down at the bottom of the staircase and watches Izuku do his training. He wants to help his friend out, but he knows that it would actually be bad if he did that, so he does his usual and cheers him on, until he sees something in the water. A box with a familiar symbol on it.

Sora gets up and walks over to the edge of the water, looking over at the box as it slowly floats over towards him. Izuku takes notice of this, thinking that Sora was going to help him clean, he calls to Sora.

"Sora!" Izuku called out. "I'm still able to clean on my own! It's okay for you to watch!"

Sora looked over and hollered back. "I know but, this thing coming up looks like something that I should get."

Confused, Izuku places the junk he had been dragging into the pile he made and jogged over to Sora. Looking at the box that was floating towards the two, he was still a bit confused. The only thing that was on the box that he could see was three black circles overlapping each other, making some kind of mouse head. It looked to be sealed tight with a big lock, and it didn't look like anything special.

"Hey kid!" A third voice called out. "Don't start slacking!"

The third voice was Yagi, driving a pickup truck that recently had a pile of garbage in it, but was now empty. Midoriya had made a very large amount of progress ever since he started, and he even looked much more built, compared to when Sora had first met him. Toshinori had walked up to the two of them and then looked over at the box that the two were looking at.

"You waiting for more junk to reach the sand on here or something?" Yagi questioned. "There's still some already on the sand for you to pick up Young Midoriya."

"O-Oh! Right!" Izuku replied, realizing that he still had to haul the garbage into a pile and get it in the truck bed.

The box had finally made it to the shore by the time that Izuku was back to training. Sora had walked over to it, inspecting the exterior like he was seeing some sort of treasure chest. Toshinori had noticed this and walked over to Sora. It was strange to the hero, because he never saw Sora look so shocked.

"Young Sora." Yagi started. "You seem to be really focused on that box there."

Sora turned to Toshinori and spoke a bit more softly than normal. "Yeah." He started. "I've seen that symbol on there before. I think I know where this came from."

That surprised Yagi for a second, but before he could say anything, Sora had already summoned his Kingdom Key and pointed it towards the box.

"Wait." Yagi said. "What are you doing?"

The tip of the Kingdom Key started to glow, then the lock on the chest had started to glimmer, after a few seconds, the key had shot out a small beam of light into the lock. After that had happened, the lock had turned into tiny particles of light that dissipated. Sora then tapped the top of the chest with the key and then it slowly opened.

What was inside the chest was about 10 envelopes, each sealed tightly, but all marked with two words on them. 'To Sora.'

Yagi was just as surprised as Sora. How did these get here? Why was it floating out in the ocean? When were these made? Where did they come from? What does this mean? Sora however already knew the answers to these. If Kairi's letter could float from the Destiny Islands to the shores of the Realm of Darkness, then anything is possible. He took all 10 envelopes and walked over to the staircase, Yagi next to him, who also called Izuku over, allowing the kid to see this too.

"You got messages for you in that chest?" Midoriya asked, just as confused as his idol.

"I've been in other worlds and have had things sent to me by my friends." Sora explained. "This isn't too big of a surprise."

"But how does that work." Yagi had asked.

"If you have a strong enough bond with someone, than anything is possible with them." Sora answered.

Sora had opened up the first envelope. He knew the handwriting and read it aloud.

"Thinking of you, wherever you are. I'm sorry that I have caused you to leave, though I will look for you as long as I breathe. As I said in my last letter, though there are many worlds, they all share the same sky. One sky, one destiny. I hope my message gets out to you Sora. I miss you very much. And I hope you can come home. How else are you going to give this back?"

Sora had felt something else in the letter and he pulled it out. It was something that he didn't expect to see again. Kairi's good luck charm. She put it in the note for Sora, so he could have something to keep them connected. Sora felt something tug inside of him and he held the charm to his chest.

"I miss you too Kairi." Sora said softly.

Yagi and Izuku saw that Sora was in a very sensitive mood, but while Yagi put his hand on Sora's shoulder, Izuku had hugged him. Sora had hugged his friend back with his free arm and thanked both of them for doing their best to comfort him. The two had guessed that after that first letter, and the trinket that came from it, came from one of Sora's very close friends. Being separated from said friend for almost three months, with little chance of seeing them again would really drag someone down. The fact that this letter and that object was sent, shows that this friend of Sora's still cares about him and hopes to see the kid again.

Sora then opened the next letter and read it.

"Looking for you as this letter was made. You may be missing for now, but I'll find you and bring you back. You've saved me more times than I've saved you. I'm planning on making that number even. This fell off of you before you left for Kairi. I'd figure you'd want it back."

Sora grabbed what was in the envelope and saw that it was his crown necklace. He never noticed that it was gone, leave it to Riku to be the one who catches the details.

"You were always the smartest out of us three huh." Sora said.

The next envelope was something that he didn't expect.

"Thank you for everything that you've done Sora. I knew that you would make everything right. You are my other half. I couldn't join the search for you, but that doesn't mean that I'm not hoping for your return. I want you to join us on the Clock Tower sometime and have ice cream with us. That is what friends do after all, right? I also heard that friends give each other gifts too, so have this, from me to you."

Sora grabbed the item and saw that it was the X piece on Roxas' zipper. Sora chuckled a bit and looked up.

"I'll find a way back and do just that Roxas."

The next was once again from someone who Sora didn't expect.

"Hey Sora. When you get this letter, you'll be packin in gifts from all your friends. I know we got off to a rough start, ya know, being enemies and all, but I'm glad that you guys gave me a chance. I'm living the dream now. Im human again, got myself a Keyblade, saved the worlds from total darkness and now with all the worlds at peace, I can sleep whenever my friends don't drag me out of bed. Have this as a token of thanks, and don't lose it. Got it memorized?"

"I got it memorized Axel." Sora said, as he held out the gift that axel gave him. It was a tiny trinket that looked like Axel's glaves before he got a Keyblade.

The next set of envelopes were from the rest of the guardians of light, telling them about their lives as they either look for him or continue to live those lives. Terra, Aqua, and Ven are back at their home, keeping it tidy and starting to train Axel and Kairi, in place of Merlin. The king, Donald and Goofy were with Riku, looking for him, telling Sora that they wouldn't stop until they found him, and his friends from Radiant Garden, were also holding out for Sora to either be found or come back, from Ienzo and the other researchers, to the Restoration Committee that's finishing up with the restoration. The gifts that were left were pretty varied. A few pictures of Sora's friends and comrades, a small note about how to use basic magic spells like Fire and Water, a few synthesis recipes, and some more munny, even though the last two weren't going to really be valuable, he still held onto those.

"It sounds like your friends are looking for you." Yagi said, smiling while he speaks.

Izuku was on the verge of crying, from all of those letters. All of that kindness was too much and he didn't even know these people. He only heard small bits from Sora whenever they talked, but he didn't ask about it, because he didn't want to get touchy about it. He was able to hold it in just barely, but that didn't stop Yagi from teasing the kid about it.

"Yeah." Sora said, while also placing his arm around Izuku's shoulder. "I hope they find me soon. I'd really want you to meet them."

"I'd like that alot, Sora." Yagi replied.

"Me too." Izuku also responded, finally stopping himself from crying and regaining his cool.

The day went by normally after that. Sora had taken those gifts home, and placed them in the cabinet that Inko let him have for storing some things. He held onto Kairi's good luck charm, his necklace that Riku returned, and Axel and Roxas' gifts. After that, Sora had went to bed and slept for the night.

Let's start the year off strong with the feels. This should hopefully help set up why Sora won't be crazy strong after three months of being here, and also give him the basics that he always gets at the start of his adventures, just with a few bonuses. I tried to capture the characters in the letters, seeing as they I don't plan on them to having them show up in the story. Now that I've made it to the end of that. The next chapter will take the end of Episode 3 and most of Episode 4, going on the main My Hero story. Hope you huys enjoy this chapter and until I decide to upload again. ;)
