a magnificent City in white withpeople living in peace. Many Windmills spin in the flow of the the water showed more aquatic creatures as the story zoomed in onto the top of the city. Inside the castle were to teenagers playing chess. A boy with white hair and tan skin and another with black hair and light skin.
"Have you heard of the Ancient Keyblade War?" asked the teen with White hair. "Huh" asked his friend.
"Of course i have" said The boy as he moved a peice and took out one of his pawns. "
"Long ago, Keyblade Wielders waged a war for ownership of Light." siad the white haired teen as he took out a silver piece.
"Yeah, the Master's favorite Story." said the teen with black hair.
"I wonder what they planned to do with Kingdom Hearts after making it appear." said the white haired teen.
"Who' knows, i dont know who would initiate a war" said the boy with black hair as they continued their game.
"So...you know the Lost Masters?" asked The whtie haired teen.
"Who" asked the black haired teen.
There the ones who started the Keyblade War," said the white haired teen.
"Never heard of did you hear that " said The black haired teen as he moved another chess peice. "Or, the war is for them."
"Im not following you?" said the black haired teen as he moved his piece off the board.
"You can drop the facade" said The white haired teen.
"Facade?" asked the black haired teen.
"On that fated land shall Darkness prevail and Light expire, A perspective Keyblade Master should know this." said the white haired teen.
"If you say so" said the black haired boy.
The white haired boy looked at a weapon mounted a has a dark black in the form of a skeleton key. handle with a raised spiral carved around it. Its pommel and guard resemble black, demonic wings. The base of the blade is an etching of a goat,] and the shaft is formed from two black, barbed blades, etched with a white icon resembling a bramble of thorns. The teeth are formed in the shape of a demonic wing, and are set with the big blue cat like eye.
The Gazing Eye sees the fate of the world. The future it's already been written" said the boy looking at the weapon.
"Really, I'm not so sure about that," said The black haired boy moving another piece. "Besides, who's said that i can;'t change it and maybe light will prevail, you might be surprised."
"Oh I hope so" said the silver haired boy. the chess pieces showed a gold one with a goat head and another silver with a crown.
/Scene change/
"They can take your Home"
THey can take your heart. Cut you loose from all you know" the screen showed Sora standing on an endless pain of water. "But if it's your fate. Then every step forward will bring you a step closer to home." They finished before Piano music played (Face my Fears). The screen showed the white haired teen as he was looking out to the stars from his window. He then slammed a piece from his chess game as it created a black cloud
"Breath, should I take a deep?
Faith, should I take a leap?
Taste, what a bittersweet
All my, all my life"
The first scene showed Aqua Terra and Ven at their home before A dark cloud came and enveloped the castle and it separated the three. Terra's hair turned white and Aqua was taken away to the dark cloud. As for Ven. He was standing on a small platform with him and another boy with a mask. The platform shattered as the boy fell down. He then disappeared as the darkness spread to Destiny Islands. Kairi who was fourteen along with a fourteen year old Sora nad fifteen year old Riku.
"Let me face, let me face, let me face my fears
Oh, let me face, let me face, let me face my fears
Won't be long, won't be long, I'm almost here
Watch me cry all my tears"
the white haired teen placed another chess piece down as it enveloped the island. Those watching watched as Riku changed into a man with long white hair and yellow eyes. . The Dark Storm sent poor Sora and Kairi flying. Sora and Kairi reached for one another but couldn't reach each other. Sora then fell down into the white chess piece with the crown on it as it the screen circled it to reveal more silver and gold pieces like they were fighting.
The next scene showed Roxas, Lea when he was still Axel and Xion in Twilight Town. Another gold price was set down as it revealed another man with white hair and yellow eyes.
Soon it showed Roxas and Lea facing each other as Roxas summoned Oblivion and Oathkeeper as Axel summoned his Chakrams Eternal Flames with his fire powers. .
Let me face, let me face, let me face my fears
Oh, let me face, let me face, let me face my fears
Won't be long, won't be long, I'm almost here
Watch me cry all my tears
"Roxas and Axel fought as the screen showed more gold chess pieces as it zoomed to a silver chess piece with a star as it revealed The Secret place and Kairi(14) She was smiling at the picture of her and sora as a tear fell down as it showed Sora again now fithteen as he summoned his own Keyblade as he created a portal. They watched as Sora clashed with MArluxia and his Scythe, and he fired his spell killing Xemnas.
Watch me cry all my tears.
Now the screen showed Kairi her current age back at their play island and with Sora. the two ran to each other and they smiled at each other before dark clouds showed up and their chess pieces were surrounded by gold ones. Young Xehanort became Master Xehanort. Rock pillars rose and on each of them was a person in a black coat. Standing on the one in front of Sora, Kairi. Master Xehanort as he waved his hand. Xemnas and Ansem moved in to attack them. Ansem fired two balls of darkness at them only to be blocked by Donald and Goofy with a staff and Shield.
Xemnas then moved to attack them from behind with his ethereal blades when two more keyblades came and he vanished. The group on the screen turned to see Riku and Mickey had arrived. The group then summoned their weapons as Xehanort summoned The Gazing Eye as it was covered in darkness with the hooded men behind him.
All eyes turned to Sora as he raised his blades into the air and fired a beam of light blinding everyone.
Let me face, let me face, let me face my fears
Oh, let me face, let me face, let me face my fears
Oh, I'll be lying with you, love, I'm almost here
Watch me cry all my tears
The screen showed Young Xehanort looking at the chessboard and standing was the silver one with the crown as it showed Sora standing in the mysterious plane with a new attire. He looked down to see he was holding the gold piece with a goat's head. He looked up to see a golden moon in the shape of a heart come though the clouds. Soon all the people that were shone appeared next to him as they all looked at the Heart shape moon.
"Kingdom Hearts 3."
"What is your mission!?" asked a cold dark voice. It belonged to a man in a black coat. His hands were behind his back. Kneeling before him is a strange girl wearing armor similar to Vanitas only the veins were white instead of black. Her feminine curves fitted against the armor and she also wore a glass mask like him.
"To prepare the Guardians of Light for the keyblade war" she answered, still kneeling in front of the man.
"Good my apprentice...do whatever it takes to make them take this war seriously!" the man in black replied. A Dark blue eye full of anger and darkness can be seen radiating off him.
"As you command my master" the girl replied before going into a corridor of darkness leaving the mysterious man alone. "May my heart be my guiding key" he muttered before he looked at his hand where a broken way finder that looked like a girl,
"Mysterious Tower"
The mysterious Tower, The home of Master Yen Sid and the current base for the Guardians of Light. Sitting on the steps to the mysterious Tower was the two traveling companions of Sora. Donald Duck, The kings Court Wizard and the captian of the guard Goofy.
Donald was wearing a blue hat (which resembled a beret), which had a belt in place of a normal brim, and sported a zipper that spanned the length of the hat. His high-collared jacket was navy blue with sky blue lining and cuffs. There were three pouches, all of which were blue with yellow lining, along the middle of the jacket; the center pouch was secured by a flap, while the other two used silver zippers. The middle pouch was framed by two other silver zippers that spanned the entire length of the jacket, from the top of the collar to the bottom. He had a short, blue cape with yellow lining that he wore draped over his shoulders, kept in place by a silver strap. Donald also wore a thick, gold bangle on each of his wrists. He also wore a shorter, light blue coat over his jacket, this one with more bell-like sleeves, gold lining and cuffs, a turtleneck-esque collar, and the two silver, vertical zippers present in his jacket.
Goofy was wearing an orange hat (save for a blue band in the middle, and the top is an odd shape) resembling a teardrop placed on its side. There was also a small pair of red goggles around the bottom of the hat that strangely, were quite a bit smaller than Goofy's eyes. Goofy wore a green turtleneck sweater with sleeves that belled out slightly and a blue arrow-shaped strap on each cuff. He wore white gloves with a brown band around each wrist. Over the sweater, he wore a sleeveless, black combat vest with grey lining and four pockets of the same color. Goofy's pants were yellow and secured by a thick, black belt. They had rather large pockets and a pouch on each leg with a silver zipper. The legs of his pants had a peculiar style, with the dark orange bottom rims being pulled upward in the front by a brown strap. Goofy also had very large shoes which were brown with steel toes on the outside.
"I hope Sora's okay?" said Goofy looking up to the stars.
"He's been gone for a long while now" said Donald. A blinding flash came and appearing from the light was their good friend Sora. Sora was wearing a Black t shirt and the hoodie is completely black with white lining but has silver patches on his shoulder. His black pants have yellow straps across them along with a patch of navy blue and silver edges. His undershirt is navy blue with a red patch in the center with a black belt under it. Red pockets appear on the sides of the pants with a black cross over them. His gloves, now black, have a white inside with a yellow line running around them. (KH2 attire)
"Sora!" Exclaimed Donald and Goofy before they tackled him. "Guys" said Sora cheerfuly.
"You been gone for a long time" said Donald.
"I know. I had to say goodbye to the Dream Eaters and I went to the islands," said Sora,
"Come on, Everyone is inside the tower." Said Goofy
Inside Mysterious Tower, Yen Sid was looking over some books. He wore a blue hat, decorated with several yellow stars and a yellow crescent moon. He wore long, billowing blue robes with sky blue lining, with the insides of his robes being dark red. currently he was in a small meeting with Mickey, Riku, Merlin and two of their newest keybearers, Lea, the Somebody of Axel and Kairi, The seventh princess of Heart.
Riku wore a sleeveless, black zip-up tank-top with double zippers, and a white-and-yellow vest over it with a blue separating the two colors and decorated with four silver buttons. He sported a white thick band on his left wrist, baggy blue pants held up by a black belt covered with square spike studs. He wore a pair of yellow-laced, white sneakers with gray lining and soles, and three black stripes on the sides.
Kairi wore a pink strapless mini-dress made up of three zippers (two appeared to be just decorative) as well as a white halter top underneath her mini-dress with a black hood. She also sported three bracelets on her left wrist, a black belt reminiscent of suspenders with a note book shaped bag attachment, and lilac sneakers..
Mickey wore a short-sleeved jacket with white lining. The top half of this jacket was black, while the bottom half was red, and there were two yellow straps dangling in front of it. His pants were red and sported a zipper going down the front of each leg. Each leg also had a yellow pouch with a black strap that partially cover the zipper, as well as a blue strap on the outer side of each pant leg. Mickey wore very large, yellow shoes with grey backs and two orange, intersecting straps attached to the front of each shoe
"Lea, Kairi, you both have made tremendous strides during your training with Mickey and Riku in the Secret Forest , i am proud to call you both full fledged keyblade wielders." Yen Sid said, looking at them.
"Thanks and in no time, i will be a master, Got it Memorized?" asked Lea.
"Easy Lea" said Kairi with a giggle before she looked at Master Yen Sid. "Master, like i told you before we went to go train, i want to do my part and help, not be the one being the damsel in Distress"
Yen Sid nodded when they heard footsteps coming meaning that Donald and goofy were coming, The door opened and thats when they heard. "Hey guys, im back!"
"Sora!" Kairi exclaimed before hugging him which he returned.
The two broke apart and Riku approached his best friend/Rival. "Glad to see your back Sora."
"Yeah, sorry that i was gone for awhile. I stopped by the Islands and i found this keyblade" said Sora before he summoned a keyblade that wa instantly reconized by Yen Sid and Mickey. a smooth, cylindrical, grey shaft that tapers outward at both ends. It has a boxy guard, made up of two small, light grey boxes and copper rod. The base of the guard connects to the grip, and both sport several small indentations lining them. The grip itself is somewhat unique in that, while most Keyblade grips are cylindrical, the Master's Defender's grip is squared. The teeth are in the shape of an "E". The "E"-shaped teeth and the square grip are likely an allusion to "Square-Enix", which Eraqus's name also references. Its Keychain is made of several simple chain links and its token is the mark of mastery exam.
"That's Aqua's Keyblade!" shouted Mickey.
"Aqua? as in one of the missing Keyblade Wielders?" asked Kairi before she saw a a faint image of a blue haired woman with blue eyes come in her mind. she then had a small flashblack of said woman and Mickey fighting against blueish imp monsters. Before she can say anythjng to the king. Yen sid spoke.
"Yes, that keyblade belongs to Master Eraqus, her master before he was mercifully stuck down by Master Xehanort." ,
he then cleared his throat. "In order to stand a chance against Master Xehanort and his Thirteen Seekers of Darkness. We need Seven Guardians to stand against him."
"Thus we need to find the three keyblade wielders who have battled against Xehanort and Vanitas alongside Mickey...Terra, Aqua and Ventus"
"We know Aqua is in the Realm of Darkness and has been trapped there for the last ten years" said Riku.
"And we are all strong enough to go rescue her now." Mickey said before summoning Kingdom Key D.
"Right...lets go" said the others. Mickey then pointed his keyblade in front of him and a dark corridor formed. Sora and company then entered the portal.
/World that Never Was. The white room/
Master Xehanort, the leader of the true Organization was seated on his throne as the rest of his seekers were out on assignments.
At that moment, a dark corridor opened, and out stepped Ansem. As he did before, Xehanort floated down from the throne and stood before his heartless.
"Sora and his allies have entered the dark realm," said Ansem.
Master Xehanort then smirked. "so they are going to retrieve Aqua, Very good and once that is done will Ventus be recovered. Very good, Go and make sure they don't escape."
Ansem nodded before going though another corridor leaving the old master alone. /All is going to plan, Soon i shall have my prize/ Thought the old master.
/Realm of Darkness/
The Corridor of Darkness opened in the Depths of Darkness as the rescue team stepped out. The Depths of Darkness is a Bleak landscape comprised of fragments of earth haphazardly spliced together into a single, continuous area.
"Alright everybody stick together" Mickey said as He and Riku took the lead while everyone else followed him.
So far they have not yet encountered a single Heartless but that would only be a matter of time before the Heartless knew they were there. Riku came to a halt making the rest of the team look at him. "Everything alright Riku?" asked Sora looking at his best friend.
"No, It's just, i've been here, I should know this place, But all that seems like another life" Riku said looking around.
"Well gee, Think about You've seen, All the feelings you felt, why you've done years of growing in almost no time at all." Mickey said approaching him.
"The King is right Riku, Why you matured alot since getting your Keyblade" Goofy said.
"Yeah unlike Sora here" Donald said with a smirk.
"Hey!" Sora said a little offended making Kairi laugh.
Riku continued putting his hand on his chest "I remember my first time here, I was so scared, but now my doubts and fears are gone, If anything, i feel Exhilarated and it's not because there's darkness in me. I know too well what that rush us like. This is Different."
"Maybe it might be Adrenaline?" Lea asked.
"No, it's not Adrenaline, i know Aqua needs us but i'm ready because i have you guys with me" said Riku.
"It's not us Riku, It's because you finally found that special strength to protect what matters," Mickey said.
"What?' asked Riku.
"Sometimes when you care so much for somebody, all other feelings dissapear and then, there is no room for Fear or doubt." said Mickey. Riku looked at his hand as a sudden flashback came to him of seeing Terra letting him hold his keyblade. "Strength to protect what matters. it reminds me of a promise i made to someone."
"To who?" asked Sora.
"Just someone i met, Can't tell" said Riku
"Sounds like a good memory" Goofy stated.
We better keep going, The Realm of Darkness has changed and we have to find Aqua" Mickey said earning a nod from the others before they resumed walking. they pass by many Heartless looking for hearts to devour but they have not yet notice them. The group picked up the pacethey arrived to the Dark Margin. "This is where we ended up after we defeated Xemnas" said Sora.
"Look!" Donald pointed to the shoreline. Down the beach, sat two figures, a woman with blue hair, and the other wore a black coat, but he did not seem threatening. Mickey smiled and rushed forward. "Aqua! Aqua!"
The woman jumped slightly and turned around. "Mickey!?" The mouse leapt on her, wrapping his arms around her in a hug. The woman blinked in shock but soon hugged him back. "Mickey… My friend." They separated. "What are you doing here?"
"We're here to get you out of here!" he exclaimed
"We?" She looked up and saw everyone else. "My goodness." The group came closer and Aqua looked up, eyes widening in recognition as she beheld the first three. "Sora? Riku? And Kairi?"
"Good to see you again, Aqua." Riku held out a hand to her.
She took his hand and stood. "All of you… you're here? It has been so long. You were barely above my knees"
'I never forgot about you Aqua" Kairi said to the woman who saved before she vanished. she hugged the keyblade master who was quick to return it, "i owe you my life for saving me from those monsters,"
Kairi stepped back with a smile.
Oh that reminds me" Sora said before he summoned Master Defender and held it out to Aqua. "This is yours right?"
"Yes, my Master's keyblade. Thank you" Aqua said taking the weapon. Aqua let out a deep breath and the others saw a tear glinting in her eyes.
"Aqua," her fellow Keyblade Master smiled. "I never got to thank you. You saved me, at the risk of yourself. Because you did that, you were trapped here, but I got to live, thank you."
"You're welcome, Riku." She smiled gently.
"Aqua," Lea approached. "Hi, I'm Lea. I'm a Keyblade wielder, like these guys."
The woman's eyes widened. "Wait, are all of you Keyblade wielders?"
"Everyone but me and Donald" said Goofy. slightly in shock. Part of her still believed that this was one of many rescue dreams she'd had over the years. However, the light from the people before her was more than a dream. "So, when are we to leave… and may my friend join us?" The Keyblade master turned around and smiled at the hooded figure.
"Who is he?"
"I don't know," the woman shrugged. "He has very few memories."
Mickey strode fearlessly towards the man. "Show us your face." The figure reached up and pulled back his hood to reveal an aged face with blond hair and beard. "Ansem the Wise!?"
"Is that my name?" The man's eyes looked down at the mouse, all faded and confused. "Wait… th-that is my name. I do remember that now."
Lea took a few steps closer to the old man. "Lord Ansem, it's really you." He merely gave Lea a confused shrug. "Oh well, never mind."
"Sorry, young man, that I do not know you." Ansem the Wise answered.
Riku sighed. "Well, Ansem, it is good to see you. Now, why don't we get back to the Realm of Light?"
"Light…" Aqua let out a deep sigh. "I have missed it."
"Well, you will have to wait some more" Spoke a familar cold voice as Ansem came out of nowhere.
Riku snarled. "Ansem…"
"Wait, I thought that was my friend?" Aqua cocked her head.
"Different Ansem. An evil one; he's Xehanort's Heartless." riku said. This shocked Aqua.
"Now you all are coming with me so that we can forge the χ-blade and my Former master can tell me where the Girl is " Ansem said as a Demon Tower formed behind him. Lea looked at Ansem the Wise before he summoned Flame Liberator.
/Girl? what Girl?/. Thought Sora before he summoned Kingdom Key. Kairi with Destiny's Embrace, Riku with Way of Dawn, Mickey with Kingdom Key D, Donald with Mage's Staff, Goofy with Knights Shield and Aqua with Master Defender.
"Take this!" Ansem said as he and his Guardian rush towards the Guardians as the Demon Tower lunged at them. The Guardians of light dodge the two attacks before Kairi, Lea, Donald and Goofy went to deal with the Demon Tower leaving Aqua, Sora, Riku, and Mickey dealt with Ansem.
"Prism rain!" Aqua said performing her shotlock sending multicolored orbs at the Demon Tower and Ansem dealing damage to both.
"Submit!" shouted Ansem as his Guardian grabs mickey and tosses him away.
Sora and Riku then eyed each other. "Riku, Eternal Session!"
The two charged forward at a Ansem and the Demon Tower. "Out of our way!"
Sora delivered an upward blow that somehow caught Ansem off guard at once. Riku followed up with two similar strikes on some lone shadows
The two Keybearers then took to the air themselves, and flew all about their suspended in midair. They delivered dozens of lightning fast strikes at them, picking them off quickly one by one. Those particular enemies were down in less than ten seconds, and they had only finished the first tier of the Limit.
"Is that all you got?" Riku chastised, floating to Sora's side. They flew at another group of enemies that had just arrived on the battlefield. Before they had a chance to do anything at all, Riku and Sora were all over them.
The Keyblades flashed even faster, tearing the shadows to ribbons and dealing much damage to Ansem and the Demon Tower. They unleashed a flurry of high-speed stabs into them. More fell into place behind them to replace their fallen comrades. That was just fine with Sora and Riku, they weren't done yet.
They flew backwards quickly, and dismissed their weapons. They stretched out their hands. Their hands were immediately covered in dark fire. It was white-hot, but outlined with faint traces of blue and black. They aimed at the Heartless, and football sized fireballs burst from their fingers.
They streaked at their targets and exploded on impact. The barrage of Dark Fire didn't cease for a long time, and when they finally did, the last of them was nothing more than a few smoking craters.
"Let's take 'em." They placed their Keyblades together, and in a surge of energy they transformed into a single huge blade. It shone blue like Riku's dark fire, but was outlined in pure gold light. Riku took the sword first, rushing toward the Demon Tower with Sora floating behind his back.
He swung hard at the base of the Demon Tower. The blade covered a huge arc, tossing them backwards. He swung so hard, he rotated completely around in the air and handed it off to Sora. He swung it again in the opposite direction, tossing the Earth Cores back farther still.
The Heartless were tough due to this being their Territory,
They migrated to the center of the battlefield where Lea was struggling against a group of Invisibles. They floated back to back and dismissed the blades again. Around them, thirteen scarlet energy blades rimmed with gold surrounded them, points facing up. They spun around them, then shifted to horizontal positions. As the two friends spun on the spot, so did the blades.
They cut through the Heartless like a massive floating chainsaw. They sliced through even the Invisibles Swords. Soon there were only twenty Heartless left besides Ansem and the Demon Tower, and it was time for the finisher.
Sora and Riku flew apart, and then swooped back at each other, tossing Kingdom Key and Way to the Dawn into the air. They hung suspended in the air six feet apart with their points facing each other.
"You're gonna lose it all!" Riku shouted. The blades started glowing, Kingdom Key was gold, Way to Dawn blue. The magical energy sucked all the surrounding enemies into the gap between the blades as the glow became stronger and stronger. Until eventually, it became absolutely blinding.
When the light faded they were gone, and Sora and Riku landed softly on the ground. "Time's up!" They said, and bumped fists..
Mickey and Aqua used their wayfinder Limit to attack Ansem with lightning speed attacks before letting off a light. "Come Guardian!" Ansem Spoke as his Guardian formed a shield against a flower shot that came from Kairi. Lea engaged another Invisible with his own Keyblade before he took it down. Donald casted several thunder spells on the Heartless as Goofy used his Goofy Tornado on the Demon Tower. The eyes on the Tower glowed orange and it smacked The two away before Lunging at Aqua.
"Look out!" Riku shouted as he and Mickey shoved Aqua away just in time as the Demon Tower consumed him. "RIKU!, MICKEY!" shouted Everyone. Kairi than jumped high above the Demon Tower before she performed her own shotlock. "Heart of a Princess!" small orbs of light formed right beside her before she glided down and it stuck the Demon Tower and Ansem. Riku and Mickey were freed from the tower and Ansem went for the grab only for a large black fist to punch him away. The fist belonged to a massive Heartless that was much larger than the guardian. its head was similar to the guardian heartless used by Ansem and Terra Xehanort. Its mouth was sealed by a metal mask and on his chest was a heart shaped hole. two demonic wings were on its back. its yellow eyes glaring down at the group before it roared.
"Big boy" said Donald.
"Holgar." said Mickey afraid of the beast.
Holgar had been patrolling his territory when he felt the presence of the heir of Kingdom Hearts and his queen and he had found them. The Guardian of the Dark Realm began by punching the fake of his kind away before aiming his fist at Kairi. Sora moves her out of the way he is met with the Yellow eyes of the beast. It roared before it summoned Shadow Heartless, Neoshadows, Earth Cores, Fire Cores, Water Cores and Flutterwings. Sora and Kairi moved to intercept them. right before a Shadow can try to attack them. Kairi slices it in half before she shouts. "Fire!"
A large Fireball left her keyblade as it zoned in on the Flutterwings taking them all out before more of them took their place. "Wind!" Kairi said unleashing Aeroga to gather up the remaining Heartless before it was just the two of them with Holgar. The two tried to hit his arms but he wasn't even affected by the keyblade.
"Our attacks are not doing anything." Said Sora.
"That's because we are in his Territory Sora. Holgar cannot be destroyed here." Said Mickey.
"We need to flee!" Said Riku before Sora was grabbed by Holgar.
"SORA!" Exclaimed his friends.
Holgar brought Sora closer to his head and his eyes landed on the crown necklace. The symbol of the house of Heart. Opening his hand did Holgar unleash bolts of Darkness from his hand to. Sora felt as if his heart was healing from almost being turned a vessel by Xehanort before Holgar released him. "go…."
Sora and the others watched as a corridor of Darkness opened by Holgar. "He wants us to leave." Said Sora.
The others were quick to leave but Sora looked back at Holgar who vanished into A ball of Darkness soon goes right into Sora. His crown necklace gets a dark purple gem on one of the points.
They soon found themselves back in Yen Sid's study and the old master was still in his seat. "Welcome Back"
"how long were we gone for Master?" asked Mickey
"Five Days" said Yen Sid.
Aqua collapsed on the ground on her knees. "Light. Light again." She said.
"Your Home" Sora said offering a hand to her.
Sora holding out a hand. For a second, Sora's face changed the Ven's. When it faded, she smiled.
"Thank you, Sora." She smiled to him as Light continue to shine down on them from the tower's window.
"Your home" Said Mickey as he, Donald Goofy hugged her and the others joined in. All happy that Aqua was finally out of that dark and horrible place. Aqua then stood up and saw Yen Sid before he gave her a rare smile. ""It is good to see you, Master Aqua."
He then shot a look to Ansem the Wise who looked confused.
"Master Is Terra?" asked Aqua
"There is still no signs of Terra anywhere and Ventus is still in his coma." Yen Sid said with a frown. Aqua looked down in sadness. "I took Ven home and change the place so that only i can navigate though it by the orders of Master Eraqus before he was killed by Xehanort.
"I see, We have been searching for his Heart and we have not yet located it" Yen Sid said.
Mickey then asked "Master Yen Sid, what about Ansem? His memory is gone."
The blond man shook his head. "Do not worry, old friend. My memories have been returning since we left the Realm of Darkness."
"His mind was tainted by the darkness, all he needed was exposure to the light to repair his mind." Yen Sid said to his former apprentice.
"That's good," Lea grinned. "Radiant Garden need's its ruler to be in top form, physically and mentally."
The old man looked at the pyro. "Lea, our home…"
"It's back to normal. Even, Ienzo, Dilan, and Aeleus are back and we just need our ruler. " Lea said to his Ruler.
"Riku, I have something for you. ." Said Yen Sid.. Riku looked at him when he opened his palm as he summoned a Keyblade no-one has ever seen. a dimple key for a pin tumbler lock, as opposed to the lever tumbler lock key. The blade is silver, with two parallel grooves running the length of the blade at the center; several circular intents are etched along each edge asymmetrically. The blade juts out and then cuts back in just before it connects to the guard, which is black and blocky. It too had a mouse keychain(Braveheart.) The guardians looked at the weapon. "It's name is Braveheart and it belong to an old friend of mine. May it be of use to you Master Riku"
Riku took Braveheart from him and gave it a few practice swings before he dismissed his new weapon. "Thank you Master"
Aqua then asked, "But then what is going on and who was that Ansem guy?"
Everyone spent the next hour or so telling her all that had happened: Ansem's apprentices betraying him, Riku letting his home fall to the darkness, Sora obtaining the Kingdom Key, meeting Donald and Goofy, Riku being manipulated by Xehanort's Heartless, saving Kairi and finding out she was one of the Seven Princesses, defeating Xehanort's Heartless and closing the Door to Darkness, Castle Oblivion, Naminé, Organization XIII and the Nobodies, Roxas, defeating the Organization, which resulted in Xehanort's return, and his plan to re-forge the χ-blade.
Needless to say...she was horrified.
"I don't believe this," she said. "How could all of this happen?! That bastard just won't stop!" She paced back and forth.
"Aqua, take it easy," said Sora.
"...You're right," said Aqua before she took some deep breaths. "Okay...I'm okay, now."
"Yes, but now we must locate Ventus's Heart. " Yen Sid said.
"Aqua, Where did you hide his body?" asked Riku.
Aqua let out a deep breath before she said "I took Ven's body to our home, to the Land of Departure. And I engaged the castle's defense mechanism. It changed the world entirely; Master Eraqus once told me that, save myself, anyone who visited it in that form would be lost to oblivion."
Her declaration was met with stunned silence from the rest of the group minus Sora, Donald and Goofy, Lea said "You've got to be fucking shitting me."
"But unti; we locate Ven's Heart...Its best to leave him there where he will be safe" said Mickey.
"Language! There are kids here Axel!" said a boy's voice coming from Sora and before everyone knew it, a transparent boy with dark blonde spiky hair appeared, It was Roxas, Sora's Nobody in his Twilight town attire.
"Ven" said Aqua looking at the boy on not meeting Roxas.
"No, im sorry but my name is Roxas, Sora's Nobody." Roxas said with a small smile. Aqua looked at Roxas and saw that his hair was a mix of brown and blonde. "I'm sorry, you just look so much like him" she said with a tear.
"Castle Oblivion" said Ansem the Wise before he looked at Sora who was confused as was Donald and Goofy. "That's right, you guys don't remember" said Riku looking at the three.
"What do you mean Riku?" asked Sora when a Female voice spoke, "Because your memories were taken from you. Almost like how your powers were about taken."
that voice came from Kairi as a girl with long blonde hair came out wearing a white dress.
"Naminé!" said Those who knew her.
' Lea walked over to her before he said. "I'm sorry for how I treated you back in Castle Oblivion.
"And the same with me" Ansem said bowing his head in shame.
Naminé then said with a soft smile. "It's okay, you were the only one nice to me during my time in that Castle. So i forgive you Axel and i can forgive you Ansem...Kairi is rubbing off me a bit."
But what do you mean by Sora's powers are still there?" asked Yen Sid curious now.
Naminé explained "You see, Sora's abilities are just asleep in his heart. He didn't lose them completely; he just has to look deep inside and find them."
"How do you know?" Donald asked.
"Since I have power over Sora's memories, I also know what's in his heart, even now," Naminé explained.
Sora's eyes widened, "Power...over my memories...?"
Naminé turned slightly sad, "You don't remember when we first met...but I can help you with that."
She raised her hand, Sora, Donald, Jiminy and Goofy developed major headaches as their lost memories of Castle Oblivion returned to them.
Meeting Axel the first time, seeing Twilight Town, Vexen, the Riku Replica, Larxene, Marluxia, then going to sleep.
Sora gasped as he stumbled back for a moment, but Riku caught him. "You okay?"
Uh...yeah," Sora answered as he held his hand. "Ugh...talk about a headrush."
Jiminy Cricket hopped onto Sora's shoulder,
"That must've been why my journal didn't have any record of our first adventure."
"Are you sure that Sora's abilities aren't completely lost, Naminé?" Yen Sid asked the blond girl.
"Yes, The Power of Waking is still in you sora. It's just asleep. Waiting for when you will need it" Naminé said to Sora. Sora placed his hand on his heart before he nodded. She also felt his heart was balanced by Holgar before he merged with Sora to protect him from Xehanort.
"Yes, I will send word to Ienzo and Even at once that we have found Ansem the Wise." said Yen Sid before he focused his gaze on them. "In order to defeat Xehanort there are gather allies we must gather. We have discussed this before Sora. Your Mark of Mastery exam was conducted in the hopes you would acquire the power to wake them.
Kairi looked to Sora and as he bowed down. In all the years that she had known Sora she had never known him to fail. She knew that he was trying to cover up how he felt, but she could sense the shame radiating from him. She went to grab his hand and gave it a small squeeze. Sora turned his gaze towards her and gave her a small squeeze , Aqua, Riku and Mickey looked at Sora feeling sad for him. He deserves to be a master for all that he did. Aqua would make right for him,
"Sora, when Xehanort almost made you his vessel he stripped you of most of the power you had gained by then. I suspect that you have already felt this." said Yen Sid
The wizard then focused his gaze on Sora. " There's someone who lost his strength and found it again, a true hero to whom you ought to pay a visit. Perhaps he can point you in the right direction,"
Sora being the goofball that he has started to pose like great Greek heroes that he had seen on the Olympian Grounds. Kairi and the girls giggle at him while the boys shook their heads,
"Aqua," Ansem stood up from one of the chairs. "I just remembered something. You mentioned that your armor is missing; it wouldn't happen to be blue and silver and went missing with a Keyblade?" The young woman nodded. "I thought as much. We found your armor years ago, back in Radiant Garden. We stored it in the lower laboratories of the castle, to keep it safe."
"Really? Can we go retrieve them?" asked Aqua.
He nodded. "Of course."
"Then we'll head out and Take Ansem home and Retrieve Aqua's things ." said Riku. The guardians nodded before taking their leave from Yen Sid's tower with Ansem the wise.
The Highwind was flying slowly though the Ocean Between, Everyone was in their own seats in the cockpit and Aqua was eating a full meal after spending so much time in the Realm of Darkness. Sora sat behind the wheel with his arms crossed. He groaned, "How are we supposed to get there now!"
"What!, i thought you knew!" shouted Donald.
"Looks like all the old highways are closed" Goofy pointed out.
"Didn't Master Yen Sid say for you to trust in the guidence of your Heart Sora?" asked Kairi. Sora stood up from his chair before he looked at everyone.
"Well since we already been there before, why don;t we picturing our friends like were there." said Goofy.
Sora looked at them before he did the muscle pose again. He shook his head as he said "sorry guys."
"It's okay Sora," said Riku.
"May your heart be your guiding Key" said Goofy.
"Huh?" said everyone exept for Mickey and Aqua.
"Whats that?" asked Lea curious.
"It's an old phrase keyblade wielders use to say all the time." said Aqua answering his question.
"Where did you hear that from Goofy?" asked Mickey.
"Im certain i heard it from Master Yen Sid before we went off on our adventures. Maybe i imagined it?" said Goofy.
Sora said aloud. "May my Heart be my Guiding Key? He then smiled as he ran to the front of the ship and summoned Kingdom Key. "I got it!" he pointed the weapon in front of them as the tip glowed. A portal formed right in front of the Gummi-ship. "It's a Gate!" said everyone.
Sora took a seat behind the wheel before he said with a grin. "Alright, Olympus Coliseum!, Here we come!"
He steered the ship into the portal as it closed right behind them. Their new adventrue has officially started and this time, Sora had his friends and the girl he has a major crush on by his side.
Deep within an unknown realm. a small orb of light floated alone in an endless sea of darkness. "Finally, The time for my return has come." A black shape in the form of a heart was right behind it.
