I stopped writing this as I didn't own KH the game, any of them. I literally just ordered 1.5 and 2.5 for my new Playstation 3 so I will be able to catch up and get a better idea of the game outside of Letsplays.


As Merlin and the Fairy Godmother told him, the world was cast in an eternal night. It cast odd shadows across the oddly bright world of Traverse Town, where the buildings were larger and concrete and interconnected creating odd courtyards in between the buildings. Sage felt sort of uncomfortable with the sensation of being trapped in being ever present but he ignored that feeling as best he could, he had a mission and he would not fail it. He would search for the Keyblade wielder, whomever they were, and help them with whatever their mission was... after leading them to Merlin first of course.

'Who is the Keyblade wielder, I hope it's not Riku. I am pretty sure he sold out our world as it is.' Sighing, he turned his attention away from his thoughts and onto the road before him...

Just in time to watch as one of those annoying shadow bugs, the Heartless, appeared before him. Panic set in instantly but he squashed that feeling, falling into a comfortable stance and jabbing forward, stabbing the beast in the chest. Pulling out, he swiped twice, once in each direction. The beast felt almost like clay and water, barely held together by what he assumed was magic and darkness. It fell apart within moments, only for three more creatures to appear in similar shadows.

The tension increased, but he somehow kept calm.

Raising his rapier high, he called out. " THUNDER!" Light shot from his rapier, draining from him, swirling above him before smashing down and destroying the heartless about him.

Instantly he fell to his knees, coughing as weakness overtook him.

"That took a lot out of me. I can't do that too much, not unless I gain more magic somehow." Shaking, he managed to stand and wobble forward towards the door that was above him on a small flight of stairs. He knew, from signs, that he was currently in the Third District and on his way to the First.

The door opened, and he walked straight through only gasp as he saw Sora, of all people, fighting with what looked like a massive key against a much taller man with a gigantic sword.

Not bothering to question this, he shot forwards, sword raised. With all his might, not caring what it made him feel, he called forth the power Merlin had blessed him with. "FIRE!" And a fireball shot forward at blinding speeds, racing towards the man who, to his shock, blocked the fireball without looking with his huge sword.

Exhaustion came in waves, but Sage ignored it and charged forward, running up the small flight of stairs until he was next to Sora... who took the moment to collapse and pass out entirely.

"Sora, no... Sora, Cure!" He waved his hand over his friend, watching as green flowers appeared over him to cascade healing magic over his body but Sora did not wake. He just groaned a little, and adjusted himself, remaining ever asleep. "What did you do to him?" Turning, he faced the man with the giant blade and fell into his own stance, ready to carve him into little pieces if he had to.

"Your slipping Leon." They both turned, facing a girl with black hair and a scarf around her neck. "The kid almost beat you and you didn't even notice this kid charging until he screamed that firespell."

The man, Leon apparently, huffed. " I went easy on him... and I did notice him, hard not to with him screaming his spells. Things are worse then we feared, a lot worse."

"Enough, what did you do to Sora? Why did he pass out?"

They turned back to him, with the girl looking calm and happy. "Hiya, I'm the Great Ninja Yuffie... and you are?"

"Sage, Merlin's apprentice... I guess. Kind of a new title to be honest."

They both blinked. " Merlin doesn't have a... where are you from?"

"Same world as Sora, Destiny Islands. Merlin explained everything, sort of, to me... I know he's the Keyblade wielder, whatever that means. That there used to be other wielders, many of them but now there is only Sora, some King named Mickey and someone named Yensid..."

"And you know about the Heartless?"

Sage nodded. "Fought some too."

"Listen, lets got to the Hotel so Sora can rest easier and then we can explain things when he wakes up, okay?" Yuffie's smile, somehow made him feel more assured. He could not help but smile back at her.

"Just... keep where I can see you, I don't trust you with Sora just yet."

'''

"Come on, lazy bum. Wake up.: The sound of Kairi's voice led Sora out of the shadows and into the real world. He sat up, looking for the source. "You okay?" Sora was delighted to see Kairi, her beautiful face lifting his spirit as she looked at him.

"I guess." He said, holding his head and moaning as he struggled to fully wake up... wherever he was.

"The creatures that attacked you are after the Keyblade, but its your heart their really want because you wield the Keyblade."

"I'm so glad your okay Kairi." He said, softly.

Her expression shifted, looking at him with confusion. "Kairi, who are you talking about, I'm the great Ninja Yuffie." The world seemed to flash and a new girl, with black hair was in Kairi's place. She turned, facing the man he fought earlier. " I think you may have overdone it Squall." She said, her tone a tease.

"That's Leon." The man said, naming himself to Sora finally. "

Sora turned, feeling drawn to a spot on the wall. They Keyblade was there, leaning against it, right next to his friend Sage. Only, Sage looked different, from his clothes to the fierceness of his gaze. Sora felt safer being near him, the familiarity a real comfort.

"The Keyblade…and you made it Sage, I thought I was alone."

"So did I... and sorry about your blade, we have to get it away from you. The Heartless track you with it, that's those creatures that you've been fighting, the ones that destroyed the Islands."

Leon, crossing his arms with a scoff, spoke up. " It was the only way to conceal your heart from them. But it won't work for long. Still hard to believe that you of all people are the chosen one. "Leon picked up the Keyblade and swung it in the air. It flashed out of his hand and back into Sora's, filling his hand with that wierd tingle of power it always lent him. Leon walked over to him. "Well, I suppose beggars can't be choosers."

Sora began to pout. "Why don't you start making sense! What's going on here?"

Sage, stood and sat next to him. "Okay, you know how Riku and you all wanted to go to another world? Well it turns out there are many worlds but they are supposed to be separate and secret. But when the Heartless came, it linked the worlds up somehow. I guess it's how they travel to worlds like ours to destroy..."

Sora frowned. "The Heartless?"

Yuffie spoke up." The ones who attacked you, you remember?"

Leon nodded. "Those without hearts."

Yuffie continued. "The darkness in people's hearts—that's what attracts them."

"And there is darkness within every heart, so they are drawn to everyone." Sage finished.

Yuffie looks toward Sora. "Hey, have you heard of someone named Ansem?" Both boys shook their heads. "He was studying the Heartless. He recorded all of his findings in a very detailed report."

Sage frowned. " Can we see it, that sounds incredibly useful and would clear up our confusion since we just got exposed to the Heartless."

Leon sighed. " It's pages are scattered everywhere, to many worlds. What we do know is that blade, the Keyblade is key to stopping them."

"So…this is the key? "Sora held up the Keyblade, the weight of it and their words heavy on him.

Yuffie nodded. " Exactly!"

Leon continued. "The Heartless have great fear of the Keyblade." He walked over to the door. "That's why they'll keep coming after you no matter what."

Sora frowned. " Well, I didn't ask for this."

Yuffie sighed. "The Keyblade chooses its master. And it chose you."

"So tough luck."

"How did all this happen?" Sora sighed. " I remember being in my room…" Then everything hit him at once. He gasped, standing and looking around with horror. Wait a minute! What happened to my home? My island? Riku! Kairi! Wait, Sage, you said they destroyed our world... does that mean that Riku and Kairi are..."

Leon shook his head, as did Sage. "You know what? I really don't know."

"Sora, no one knows what happens to those worlds as far as I am aware. Maybe if we stop the Heartless, they will revert to normal. I don't know... but I know I'll help you. Someone named Merlin, who wants to see you, taught me magic and gave me this sword. I can fight and together we can stop this."

Yuffie, clearly seeing how down Sora was, piped up. "Hey, cheer up! I've heard that the Keyblade can open all sorts of locks. Give it a try the next time you find a treasure chest or door lock!"

Leon ruined that tiny surge of happiness he felt though. "Sooner or later, the Heartless will find you. You'd best prepare yourself.

"Prepare myself?"

"To fight for your life. Are you ready?"

Sora nodded, standing next to his friend. " I'm ready!"

Leon nodded as well. " Yuffie, let's go join Aerith. She should be there now with the other visitors."

Yuffie suddenly pointed to the other end of the room. "Leon!"

A Soldier looking Heartless appeared, clattering awkwardly. Leon ran forward. " Yuffie, go!" Yuffie ran off just as Leon and Sage pulled out their blades. " Sora, let's go!"

Sora summoned his Keyblade and together they struck at once.


Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.

This was fun to write.

Love, your Ninja Overlord,

Mika.
