Chapter Four: New Friends, A New Journey, A New Threat, A New Beginning

How long had he been lying there in agony? How long had it been since he had opened his eyes or even tried to move? To Luke it felt like an eternity, as if he felt himself slipping into the afterlife but for some reason could not….He suffered through the excruciating fall after passing through the vortex in which he was sucked up into in his own world and then on top of that he was cursed by what he was sure had to be the foulest witch/woman/beast he had ever met…The curse had left him broken inside and shattered outside…So it seemed strange when he felt a pair of hands lightly shaking him to consciousness and then his confusion was stirred even more when he found that the hands touching him where now slipping under his body to lift his fragile form with ease…Luke tried to speak, to utter something, anything…He was overcome with exhaustion but was able to maintain consciousness long enough to notice that it was a man most likely in his mid twenties who had picked him up and was now moving at was seemed almost an incredible speed for someone who had just added an extra hundred and some pounds the load…Luke again blacked out when the man spoke…

“Don't worry kid, your in good hands King Mickey told of your arrival and I'm sure lucky I found you when I did” the stranger said as he realized that Luke was barely awake “Well, just so we get the formalities out of the way, my name is Leon” and Luke passed out…. “Ooops…”

----------------------------------Meanwhile back on Destiny Islands-------------------------------

“SORA!!!!!” Kairi shouted as she bounded down the dock to hers and her friends favorite hang out….Although that was not the reason for her arrival

“What's up Kairi” Sora acknowledged as she approached nearly out of breath

“It's this” she stated as she raised a small bottle in her hand which upon inspection contained a scroll with the mark of King Mickey on the front.

“The King!!!” Sora and Riku stated at the same time…

Sora retrieved the bottle and emptied its contents into his palm and the three gathered around to read the letter together….

 

Sora, Riku and Kairi'

I write with urgent news…I apologize for this you three but it seems that this time of relaxation for us all will be shortlived…I have recently discovered that my keyblade has reacted strangely lately and not upon my own will but as if the keyblade itself feels threatened by something approaching us…As you know my own keyblade was retrieved from the other side of the gate sometime ago and upon further research I have learned that the keyblade only reacts in this manor when Worlds are destroyed simultaneously…Not only that but a strange thing has happened…I believe Maleficent is up to her old tricks and while she has not proved to be the greatest threat of all time I do believe that we should be worried…Now that Zehanort is out of the picture she has full reign over the nobodies who surely still dwell among us…Please come as soon as possible, If I'm right about what's going on, your keyblades shall work as one to unlock the gate to your world and allow you safe passage to our own but please understand you are to meet me and the crew at Merlin's house in Radiant Garden.

King Mickey

The three shared looks of disbelief. So much info and King Mickey sure knew when to pick his moments…It had only been about six weeks since their last battle and now it seemed as if they would never return to a normal life….

“I dunno whether or not to be excited to start a new journey or upset that we have done so much good and yet the heartless and nobodies still reek havoc…” Sora stated

“Evil will always remain somewhere…It's the balance of life I guess” Kairi said bluntly as she stared at the ground

“Deep Kari, Reeeal deep” Riku said with a smirk “I mean sure I am not exactly happy that we have to keep fighting but I mean I was getting really bored with just a plain life…It just isn't for me…At least now I can travel with my two best friends in the world for this” Riku said brightly trying to lighten the mood.

“And that's what worries me” Sora said as he furrowed his brow and summoned his keyblade… “It's odd that Mickey wants to recruit Kairi for whatever is going on here”

Kairi looked slightly taken aback and when Sora noticed he said “Oh Im sorry Kairi it's not that I don't believe in your skills, I mean without you I wouldn't be here today but I just think its odd that he needs all of us especially when you might not be ready for this”

This didn't calm her and she straightened her form while her face reddened with anger and she shouted “SORA HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT!? I have gone through too much and seen to much and don't forget I have fought the heartless before and had my encounters…I am not scared to follow you two and the rest wherever I am needed”

“Kairi calm down I'm sorry I didn't mean to put it that way I know you can do it now calm down your really scary angry” and at this Kairi slightly blushed.

“I think we can all agree we are as prepared as we will ever be for whatever comes next we just need to follow the message and go now to their aide…It sounds like we don't have time to wait and with this Riku rose off the sand on which he had sat himself after reading the letter and following Sora's actions he too summoned his keyblade and upon seeing this Kairi too summoned her own keyblade which she had received from Riku.

“It's been a few weeks since we last summoned these…I almost forgot how natural it felt to carry this baby” Riku said as he overturned his keyblade

“Seriously, and I forgot how lightweight these were” Kairi said

“Anyways, I think we should get going” Sora said brightly as he broke into a slight sprint towards the secret cave which contained his world's keyhole…When the three arrived they stopped several feet from the door and each took in what this site meant…

“I wonder when we'll be back” Kari whispered

“Don't worry you guys, I'm sure we will be back real soon” Sora said, although anything Sora said was mostly positive as he tended to not look on the bad side even though most the time they were screwed or outnumbered or outnumbered and screwed…

With this Sora raised his keyblade parallel with the cave floor and two companions soon followed his lead angling in slightly to his own keyblade…Soon the cave erupted with light as the keyblades dispersed equal beams in unison to form one strong beam blasting its way through the keyhole and unlocking it with a resounding click. With only a split second of silence and darkness the cave again burst with light emitting now not from the keyblades but from the gateway they had opened…And with hands grasped together the three entered…..

 

To say that the trip was uncomfortable was an understatement….While they knew that without a gummi ship the trip would be painful they didn't slightly grasp the effect it would have on them…The intense pressure and blinding speed at which they traveled was nauseating and cold and hot all at the same time…But it was over in an instant when they found themselves standing in front of Merlin's house gasping for breath and feeling their chests to make sure they did not lose their lungs or anything else in the travel…

“Well it looks like you finally arrived…About time”

The three whirled around to see none other than cloud leaning against the wall outside the opposite wall of Merlin's front door.

“CLOUD!!!” Sora exalted as he ran to hug the man…Cloud just moved slightly to his left with a disturbed look on his face…Sora may have been a true hero and friend but he was still so innocent that he found it okay to constantly show his friends and strangers his kindness which was slightly creepy to Cloud…

“Aw Cloud what was that for?” Sora said pouting because his friend avoided him

“Well I am glad to see you are doing okay, all of you but right now is not the time to worry about this…Leon brought some kid over to Merlin's…That kid…I don't know who he is but he came here from another world that was for sure…And he is seriously injured…Merlin, Donald, and Mickey are in there providing the Curaga spell to speed up the healing process but the boy has yet to regain consciousness…”

The three again shared looks of confusion and shock…They ran to the door but Cloud cut them off… “That's not really a good idea you guys…If you throw off their concentration you could cause them to kill that kid instead of help him” and with these words of warning the three backed away and situated themselves on ledges awaiting news on the situation of the boy…Having no clue that it's Luke or even who Luke is the three worried for his safety and also whether or not his presence was an omen of what was to befall all worlds or a sign of help that they would surely need in the final battle of this unfolding mystery….

END OF CHAPTER: Okay, okay I know it didn't cover much but I think you will slightly enjoy seeing Sora and the gang and what I thought they would receive in the bottle at the end of KHII…A slightly new enemy will arise maybe within the next few chapters which will be equally long as this one which is not a bad length…I expect someone will die in the end of this story which I anticipate will be well over twelve chapters or so…Please Review so I can know my mistakes and faults and just what's on your mind about my fic so far….Like I said there will soon be darker scenes, funnier scenes, more serious scenes and maybe a few love scenes but again please review review review!!!

Luke: You know, when I said I was on the verge of death earlier, you woulda thought that I woulda had a longer part in this chapter but noooooo…..

DarknessFury: Bite me Luke you can deal with it and like it or I can just kill you with my infamous delete button…

Luke:……Like I said! Enjoy writing and I am pleased with whatever you assign me…

DarknessFury: Yeah that's what I thought!!!!
