Chapter 2: Recovering

Location: Ponyville Square
Time: a few minutes after impact
POV: Sora's

Everything hurt, my head... my torso.... my legs... and I can even feel my back was aching more than it should be. This was all that I could feel besides the heat from the burning console room.

Voices, soft ones that I could not make out the words to, started to speak. I was too far gone and slowly slipping away, back into unconsciousness, barely noticing the feeling of being lifted up and gently carried in the air, only one thought pierced through the darkness before I fell. Am I....dying?

Location: Library-Ponyville
Time: after hearing the sound of impact
POV: Twilight's

I only stood there, for a few moments at least, before alarms went off in my head and I rushed towards the sound of where the crash sounded, and sadly enough it was right in the middle of Ponyville. Yet when I got there, there were a lot of angry ponies surrounding the crater where their Celestia statue, given to them by the Princess herself,had once stood, wielding pitch forks, and rocks.

"Come out! You're surrounded!" Some of them were saying.

Some others were going for an old school term of, "Surrender yourself at once!"

As they spoke, all I thought of was, GREAT! This is all I need, and angry mob surrounding something that I need to get t-.

My train of thought, and the mob's angry remarks stopped as a weak groan sounded from the crater. From the crowd I could see some of my friends hop into the crater, and one swoop down due to her wings.

The first one down was of course Fluttershy, a nervous yellow mare with a light pink mane and tail. She is a pegasus pony that insists on staying on the ground due to some problems she had during her days in flight school up in cloudsdale. She is a slight push over, but behind innocent blue eyes, she can be a very tough mare, especially whenever her friends are in trouble. She was also one of the elements of harmony's bearers. The element of kindness.

The next to jump in was an orange mare, with a blonde mane and tail combo that were ironically tied at the ends in a ponytail fashion. The mare's green eyes were transfixed on Fluttershy. This mare was Applejack, the well known power house, apple bucking earthpony mare of ponyville, and also as another bearer of the elements of harmony. She was the element of Honesty.

My eyes spotted Rarity, a white unicorn with a purple mane that looked like it belonged to the modeling mare's of Equestria rather than ponyville, and she was slowly trotting down the side, her dark blue eyes searching the ground to make sure she doesn't get mud in her hooves most likely. Despite her constant care for being proper, and being a drama queen she was the bearer of the element, generosity.

Pinkie pie bounced into the crater, she was the element of laughter and then finally rainbow dash, a cyan pegasus with rainbow for her mane and tail, with determined rose eyes dove in. She was the element of loyalty, and well I rushed in myself with a teleportation spell. I was the element of magic, and I would not let my friends face whatever it was alo-

"What in the name of Celestia is this?" Twilight was surprised about the enormous object that was standing before them, a strong site.

Pinkie was suddenly by my side, and smiling excitedly. "Ooooo~! I wonder if it is a ship, but what kind of ship would look like this? I mean ships don't usually look like this, so if it isn't s ship what is it? *gaaaaaaaaaaasp* Maybe it is an aerial ship! Like the ones tha- *she continues to speak even though Applejack put her hoof over her mouth.

"Sugacube, stop talking and help us out with finding where Fluttershy heard that groan. At this, Pinkie nods and starts to bounce around, looking around the ship.

Eventually they would hear the groan again and followed it to a slightly singed cyan pegasus pony with strange clothes, and a light brown mane with tail. On his flank was a strange cutiemark, a sword that looked like a key, or perhaps a key that looks like a sword. Unlike mine that represents magic, rarity's for gems and fashion, pinkie's for partying, applejack's for apple bucking, fluttershy's for taking care of animal's, and rainbow dash's for her incredible speed, this one looked like a mystery.

That is, until we found the same object that was his cutie mark, laying next to him. A silver key shaped sword with a golden hilt, a leather-wrapped, blue handle, and a key chain with a symbol of a mouse on it.

Everpony was distracted for a few moments before I broke first and helped the pegasus onto applejack's back, taking a look at the key shaped thing and levitating it with me.

Location: Streets of Ponyville
Time: several minutes after getting the stallion tot he hospital

After getting the stallion to the hospital, me and the girls headed back to the library, well except pinkie pie, she staid there to see about some crazy, wacko explanation of hers was true again. Also to learn the stallion's name for the party she would eventually throw for him.

I was about to enter the Library when I heard applejack speak.

"So Twi' What ya got dere in yer grasp?" Applejack referred to the item that was in my magic aura.

"This strange object was found with him, the stallion, but i don't know what-" Suddenly a surge of magic erupted form it and it disappeared. "it is...."

The others stared at where it was a moment ago, wondering as I did, Where did it go!?

Location: Hospital of Ponyville
POV: Pinkie Pie

I knew something was off about the pony, and I wanted my friends out of the way so I could ask the pony myself, but first I needed to get some of the hospital cookies! I know they aren't really that sugary and all, but for some reason they always taste so good!

Some groaning and some shuffling behind me stopped me from exiting the room, mostly because it was the sound of the stallion who I wanted to question, and also I accidentally left some party balloons next to the-

"Woah!" After the surprise, there was a sudden crash.

Bed....

"Ow, that really hurt." Slowly the stallion got up and groaned, looking around the room. "Where am i?"

I was next to him and giggling gently. "Well you are in ponyville space boy~"

The stallion jumped and sighed, guessing he had been found out, and turned to the pony, expecting to be greeted by a human face, but was rather greeted by the most pink creature he could ever see.

"Hi, I'm Pinkie Pie! What's yooour name?" I asked in my usual bubbly attitude. This caused some of the stallion's tension to disappear before he game me a smile that could even rival mine one day.

"I'm Sora. Nice to meet you Pinkie pie."

Location: Canterlot Castle
Time: upon the initial crash
POV: Princess Celestia.

I was getting worried as of late, my magic was slowly fading around the world, to prevent the heartless form accumulating on the surface of Equestria, and if one of my subjects or Luna's looked close enough, they would see my ethernal mane and tail, both their usual multitude of colors, a bit unkempt, and my coat was so messy compared to usual.

Behind a facade of a smile with bright, purple eyes, she was growing tired and if this kept up, she would give out before the-

A royal guard broke into the throne room before the thought could be finished, much like the time during the Crystal Empire incident and his news brought hope and a considerable amount of my lost strength back. "Princess, news from the 'special patrol' the 'key' is here."

Celestia smiled, not a forced one that even fooled her sister Luna, but a genuine one, that would still be there if the keyblader saved them from the challenges they faced ahead.

Previews of Chapter 3
"Just who the hay are you!?"
"You don't belong on this world."
"I can't tell you."
Pinkie stared off, as if distracted by something.
Distant cries of ponies rang clearly.
In a flash of light the object appeared in his mouth.
"I will fight, and i won't give up."
Power empowers his heart and the connections between him and the others strengthen.
"Do you trust me?" Sora asked in a serious tone.

"We hope to see you there!"
"PINKIE!"

Chapter 3: Disaster Strikes

Location: Canterlot, Celestia's chambers.
POV: Celestia
Time: an hour after the news of the 'key'

It has been nearly an hour since the news has came, and the heartless that I tried to keep at bay were assaulting the shield of light with extreme ferocity.

I struggled to keep the shield up even now, my reserved strength slowly fading. My sister, Luna knew all too well that I could not hold out much longer and came to comfort me. Her dark blue, cooling coat was against mine and her ethernal mane, looking as if it was part of the night sky as well wrapped around me. It was comforting, but I knew all too well that not even her silly canterlot royal 'we' or her optimistic personality even at dreadful times shinning through her turquoise eyes.

For a moment I paused, there were so few who had that look and I could remember all those I had met, and missed terribly due to my eternal life, but their friendships and memories kept her in a good mood, even now as the last of my strength dispersed and the shield dropped.

Now I could sense heartless sprouting up from the grounds around canterlot and heading to- My eyes shot open and my gaze was on ponyville, where the elements of harmony were at, and my student. With an urgent tone of voice, i spoke, "Luna! Gather the royal guards and send them to ponyville to protect everypony... You know fully well what the heartless can do to them."

Luna replied, "We will get them there post-haste!" Then with the face of a mare int he time of battle, ran off to call upon the guard.

After Luna had run off, I looked to ponyville and sighs. "I hope the keyblader is there, and disposes of the heartless."

Location: outside of ponyville hospital
time: minutes before heartless touchdown
pov: Sora

"You don't belong on this world. Can you tell the others?" Pinkie pie asked as she bounces next to me.

"I'm sorry, but I can't tell them. It is part of the rules as you stated before... so I have to ask you promise not to tell anyo- anypony?" My voice was a bit hushed as to not draw attention to our conversation, but then again everypony we passed thought nothing of it and only drew their attention to pinkie pie, saying "Hello" or "Good afternoon."

Pinkie just smiled and said, while doing some motions to it, "Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cup cake in my eye."

Sora smiled and then nods, guessing it was her way of making a promise, so he did not question it too much. "Thanks, it really does mean a lot to me that the secret is kept."

Pinkie just stared off, as if distracted by something, and I turn to face it, barely noticing the others of the mane 6 heading our way.

Then I noticed something I wish hadn't come with the job, which turned my happy expression to a serious one. "Heartless...."

A large black mass that was comprised of flying heartless was heading his way. On instinct I would open my muzzle, and the keyblade would shine out in light and take the form of the kingdom key, which was ready to fight by my side.

As I was about to take off a hoof held my tail down, causing me to look back at an orange colored pony. "Who da hay are you!?"

"Sora, and I can't talk right now! A crisis is about to happen and I need to stop it right now." I easily sweep my tail out of her hoof and flew into the air, my wings flapping in the air as if it was normal and natural, while I thought it was that I was in a world similar to Neverland, so I did not mind at all how it was happening, but I was once more in the air and charging at heartless.

Ten paces.....five paces....then impact.

I was now slashing down heartless left and right, using some of my moves from my lion form and adding onto it. Slash, corkscrew spin, a mock version of sonic rave, and then finishing with an explosion.... that hit me hard and sent me spiraling to the ground.

Quickly the ground came into my view and then was enveloped in a purple tint as someone erm somepony caught me in her aura. A purple unicorn, pegasus hybrid set me down next to pinkie pie. "Alright girls, first we chase off whatever these things are, and then we get answers from him... are you able to fight still?" She has spoken with much authority and anger, but it was then dashed away to show some worry in her eyes.

"I am fine, I've been through worse. I can, and I will fight. I can't give up here, I still have peo- ponies I have to protect." Slowly, I would stand onto all four hooves and the hybrid nods, running off with the other girls while me and Pinkie got surrounded by heartless.

Pinkie pulled out some cannon out form behind me, and I got the keyblade ready, preparing for the oncoming attack.

I thought this could go on for hours on end without relent, and one idea popped into my head, but my still ever present nobody. Drive Form.

Shaking my head, I would tell him mentally I doubt that would work without Donald and Goofy.

Can't you feel it thought? The link between you and the pink one even now is growing.

Location: Sora's Station of Awakening
Time: present
POV: Roxas

I smiled a bit as I knew what Sora felt, and could even sense what the dimwitted guy could not. The thing I could feel was a new chain of friendship, or perhaps an old one slowly forming or reforming. Only, I could not tell wither it is old or new.

Anyways he was frozen a bit and he smiled to me, knowing I was right on this one. "Now go on Sora, try to reach out and combine with Pinkie."

I watched the new chain slightly glow as well as the station of awakening as Sora's heart resonates with the new chain of friendship. Power empowers his heart and the connections between him and his friends strengthen.

As this power surges through Sora, her turned to pinkie pie and asked in a serious tone, "Do you trust me Pinkie?" Despite being able to hear what Sora and other's said, I only hear the fading echos of it.

As that one faded, I heard the next say, "Yes, I do, now what's the plan?" Pinkie was speaking clearly compared to the rest of the voices, so I was a bit miphed about it, but paid no mind.

Sora spoke once more, "Then let's combine out power. When you feel the light engulf you, son't worry alright?"

The image of Pinkie pie giggling and nodding appears in my head for some reason and I just smile, wondering who she reminded me so much of.

Slowly the image started to fade and the light that was enveloping the chain and the station of awakening brightens, till it is brighter than the sun could ever hope to be.

Location: Ponyville
Pov: Twilight Sparkle
Time: seconds before the transformation

For minutes, which seemed like hours we fought whatever the black creatures were, and not one of out attacks besides mine and rarity's hit. Even then, it didn't seem to even make a dent within whatever magic is protecting them.

We were all exhausted, and laying on the ground, and the things were advancing towards us, raising their claws to attack. Yet it froze and turned, looking at a soft light that suddenly exploded into a mixture of white and pink, scattering the heartless that were all around us and causing them to disperse in a cloud of darkness, and for a crystal heart of multiple colors going up into the sky.

Yet even as it disappeared, my eyes were caught on the pony standing where the light came from the blue pegasus pony with what looked like a party cannon in one hoof, and the strange object from before in the other.

It was strange, but I could feel so much magic coming just from that one pony, that could rival Princess Celestia, but it was an PEGASUS! How is this even possible!? And where is pinkie pie!? The purple alicorn could not wrap her head around the magic she felt from him.

Chapter 4 preview

"It is called a d-link"
"So you can do this with anypony?"
Sora looked out a window, out to the night sky.
"You are two, not just a single pony, one who is real, the other a phony."
Sora was stunned, not by the mare's words, but from a sudden tugging feeling he felt within his chest.
"Under the name of Princess Luna, you are hereby under arrest!"

"Many things to come! See you there!"

Author's Note

Sorry that the chapter isn't well developed, I was currently working on this whenever I was sick and well, I am still sick and can't think straight so please bare with me.

Chapter 4: The Search for Sora Starts and a New Ability

Location: Mysterious Tower, Top Floor
Time: a few hours after Sora's gummy ship disappeared
POV: Riku

I had a feeling that idiot was up to something... I didn't think it would be like this though. Just disappearing like that, right out of the sight of Yen Sid's magic range.

That did NOT sound like the lovable oaf that Kairi and I were friends with. It didn't sound like the idiot that could make friends by simply talking to people.

That sounded more like something happened to the boy I can would call my closest friend... My dark blue eyes fell upon the red haired girl, Kairi, who was trying to find some clothes to change into since she didn't have any clothes for adventuring like Sora and I did.

It sort of brought a smile to my face which I kept hidden with the small part of my hair that was still long.

The uniform Kairi was switching into was her usual school uniform. It was the only thing she owned that she could use for an adventure outfit. It was honestly sort of cute when I thought about it. She is exactly like Sora was when they were friends.

Memories of my times on the islands with him started to fill my head. We were young and started to run around, practicing with wooden swords, exploring, having racing contests and it was all fun. Then things changed to make room for the new girl on the islands and then the heartless attacked.

The memories of that day were still etched into my brain as if it had just happened before me. Then... that boy went through hell and back to get me and Kairi back...

I would repay him ten fold for all those second chances he had given me at a normal life. Even if it meant defeating the new organization on my own, but I knew that couldn't happen.

We needed the boy, and if he was in trouble, I would drag him back to us one way or another.

As I thought on and on about what Sora was doing right now, Kairi's voice slowly cut through them all, like a knife through warm butter. "Riku! Stop ignoring me!" My eyes went to Kairi who was now wearing her school uniform, and having a cute annoyed face on her. IT made me laugh a little bit.

"Hey, what's so funny?" She asked, even more annoyed than before.

"He makes that exact same face when I ignored him on accident." As I pointed this out her expression slowly softened before me and her were both laughing a bit, despite the fact we did not know where out friend had gone. Yet not knowing did not get our hopes down at all. In fact it strengthened our resolves to find him.

As the laughing died down, and with heightened spirits, we turned to the nearby window where my gummy ship, another highwind like Sora's, except with more firepower and speed to it, which was being prepped for launch. Also they guys, as in Goofy and Donald were going to accompany us, since neither Kairi or I knew how to pilot it... also, they wanted to find Sora as bad as we did. I can also already see those two waving at us in their old adventure clothes, trying to get us to hurry up.

We both waved back before descending the stairs of the tower, ready to fight our way through anything to get to Sora. Not even a goddess could stand between them and their friend.

Location: Ponyville
Time: after the drive form was complete
POV: Sora

I stood there, on my back hooves of course, after the light died down. I hadn't expected what I saw next. My clothes were not at all different and I did not have a second keyblade, but instead a party cannon strapped to his left hoof. It was a bit confusing, but it did not matter, as long as Pinkie was safe.

Watch out! Behind you! My eyes widened a bit and I whipped side stepped, letting a soldier heartless whip past me in a whirlwind spin. It missed ad crashed into another heartless, and I couldn't help but giggle. Move forward, another is moving at you from your left. I did what the voice said and this time threw the keyblade at the heartless, destroying them and causing their darkness to let the heart they hid within go.

The voice was faded a bit, but I did recognize it as Pinkie Pie's. Barely though. She gave me dodge directions and I did so, and sometimes she would have me raise up the canon and fire off confetti which pierced through the darkness in a pink light.

One by one the heartless fell, all being slashed down by either the keyblade, or blown away by the party cannon.

Many of the different heartless came form the ground; shadows, big bodies, fat bodies, bandits, air pirates, even a wyrnm or two. Each one meeting the same end after every blow they took. It felt like I was nearly invincible while combined with Pinkie.

Though the form wasn't going to last long, it lasted long enough to completely erase the heartless form the town before Pinkie Pie and I were force-ably separated.

She landed on the ground, on her hooves and panting while I landed on my back and was in a bit of pain. Mostly because my body didn't seem to move as fluidly as it did in whatever it was that combination was.

Pinkie Pie took a drink of water that she pulled out of her mane and soon was bouncing happily, smiling. "That was cool! Let's do that again!"

This caused me to smile and laugh a little bit as I reached for my own drink, a potion. "M-Maybe when I recover." With that, we both laughed and I slowly got up, moving to where I am on my hooves, comfortably on my hooves.

Though I felt like it wouldn't be for long, that this peace would last, but I would enjoy it while it did last. Slowly I turned to Pinkie Pie and smiled before asking, "Um is there anyplace we can rest and eat at? I am famished after that fight." At this Pinkie Pie's grin grew and she grabbed me, quite literally dragging me towards a house that looks like a gingerbread house.

"Of course I do, and it is right here, Sugarcube Corner!"

Author's Note

No more spoilers~ Also I am taking a bit of a break from fanfic reading after the next chapter, but thanks to those who have liked and viewed my stories.

Chapter 5: The Keyblader and the Lunar Princess

Location: Sugar Cube Corner
P.O.V.: Pinkie Pie
Time: An hour after the heartless swarm was wiped out

I would be looking at the reader who was reading the fan fic curiously, wondering whether or not I should say hi as I gave sora some free cakes for saving everypony. I mean, come on I have to give him something before I threw him a 'welcome to ponyville' AND a 'thank you for saving ponyville' party.

Giggling a bit at My own thoughts, I would bounce out of the kitchen with a chocolate cake with cyan icing with a white icing in the shape of a crown for him. Though after I got to him and set it down at the table with a happy smile, but just like the time with twilight and my pinkie sense, I started to shake uncontrollably for a few seconds then my knees and tail shook at once, then the tip of my mane blew to the right.

I gasp as I felt like something was going to happen here in ponyville and it will be unexpected. Well for me, it will be expected, but for all those around me, they won't see it coming.

Looking up, I would see Sora looking at me in concern, but I just smiled to him, waving his concern away. "It is nothing Sora, just my pinkie senses acting up. Something unexpected will happen here in ponyville."

Sora smiled and then though of it for a second. "So something that normally wouldn't happen will?" At his question I nodded and it seemed to make hims mile a bit. "Well we better hope it isn't another heartless attack."

With that I smiled and then walked off into the back, wondering who this pinkie sense prediction was for this time. Though not thinking much of it, I would bounce off and then sends my friends to talk with Sora while I go to the tree house to greet the pony that would be there soon.

Location: fields outside of ponyville
P.O.V.: Luna
Time: moments before the pinkie sense kicks in

I have landed outside the edge of Ponyville and I was instructing the guards to search for the heartless and the person controlling them, saying that the pony wore a strange black outfit with a hood on it. Also I told them to be careful since said pony can use magic that for surpassed the unicorns that are alive or have lived to date and that the pony was master of the sword in a way that surpassed even her master swordspony, Flash Kill.

The commonly dark colored guards with demonic features all shake at the thought of someone far surpassing Flash kill, a dark blue coated unicorn with one working eye that was blood red and the other, sealed shut after an incident with a hydra. Though they knew that said pony clad in a full body suit of armor was taking this opportunity as a challenge.

I would just think over what I have said and nods, sending them out to search the village as I cloaked myself and checks first the student of my sister's house. After all sister did not like it when her student is in trouble, it was a cruel reminder of 'that night'.... fuzzy images pass through my mind as phantom voices that said nothing ring in my ears.

Shaking my head of the images and phantom voices, I would walk to the house of Twilight Sparkle and pushes the door open. My magic was ready to slay any of the black creatures if any of them jumped out, but luckily none did, besides that sometimes insufferable pinkie pie.

The pink pony bounced in front of me with a grin. "Oh, hello princess, twi and the others are greeting our new friend and talking to him at the sugar cube corner. Come on!" My ears folded back as she forcibly drags me away from the tree house. "I think you are going to like him, he helped with those big mean black creatures that just stopped by here!"

At first I struggled against the dragging until I heard of Twilight Sparkle's location, and the bit of information that I was given. Somepony who can slay them is here? And whipped them out by himself? We certainly do need to talk to said stallion.

Without a spoken word to Pinkie, I stand up and follows her, wondering what this stallion would be like, if he would be built like Big Macintosh or a bit more athletic like Soaring from my sister's wonderbolts.

Though, that was quickly dashed aside as I see some of my guards being shot out the restaurant. A single pony with a black jacket coming out with a spiky, light brown mane with sea blue eyes that has seen more wars, or rather fights than any living pony would in a lifetime. The pony skid to a stop and turned around as two lunar pegasi try to rush at him, and a weapon shines suddenly into existence inside of his mouth, which he used to slash them down without killing them, just knocking them out.

The weapon disappears and the pony bolts down the street as Flash kill rushes out of the bakery. He had some icing on his face, and anger shined brightly form his eyes seen past his light blue helmet. "Stop, in the name of Princess Luna you are under arrest! pegasus division, fly up and try to cut off his escape path!" Flash yells out as he runs on after the seemingly ground bound pegasus that ran down the street. The site of Flash so mad made her giggle a bit as she stood there, watching with no interest in helping at all.

Location: Sugar Cube Corner
P.O.V.: Sora
Time: few moments after the lunar guard is dispatched within the city

I was feeling a bit odd as I sat there, Pinkie had left all of a sudden, leaving me with a slice of cake and the soft chatter of Twilight and her friends. It felt odd, just being suddenly accepted by them, but I could tell Twilight was the most curious about what happened in the town, since she kept staring at me in curiosity ever now and again.

With a sigh, I would exit my thoughts and hears the last bit of the conversation which was a question directed at me.

"What do you think about it Sora?"

"Hm? Oh, I am sorry. I was distracted by my own thoughts, what was the topic again?"

Giving an agitated sigh, Twilight would look to me. "We were talking about those strange creatures and why they all of a sudden show up. They seemed.... terribly brutal for some small things."

Thinking I could at least tell them about the creatures, I would look seriously to her and sigh a bit. "They are called heartless, because they are people who have lost their hearts to their dark emotions, and became things running on primal instinct, never with a heart like you or I. And before you ask how somepony can live without a hear,t it is hard to explain... Lets just say... they are void of any interest besides turning ponies into things like them..."

"You forgot to tell them that people like you attract them!" Sora spun around to see a sword going for his head, ducking to avoid it, he watches it wiz over his head and in-bed itself into the wall. Moving quickly, sora shoved the cake he had into the face of the pony as three more walk in, two form back and one form the front.

The one form the front of the store charges and I would rear up and buck him out the shop before running out after him.

Behind you... Roxas' voice sounded and I summoned the keyblade as I turned around. As the kingdom key comes forth from the light, I would smash the blunt end on the back of their necks and watch them crumble to the ground, unconscious.

Once I knew they were out cold, I dismiss the keyblade and rushes down the street as a pony within full body armor, the same one that attacked me with the sword, rushes out of Sugar Cube Corner. I didn't bother to listen to him since I was running for my life.

Though for some reason I think that my day was about to get even worse.... far worse...

Chapter 6: The Chase, The Fight With the Old Sniper

Location: ????
P.O.V.: no one
time: since the beginning of the events that were set in motion

It was unsettling to find the presence had slipped through their grasp, only to show up in a place that they had not seen since they had set their plans in motion. Twelve hooded figures stared down at an orb that honed in on a cyan pegasus withe a black jacket, a silver crown chain necklace and that unmistakable aura of radiant light.

It made them all sick to look upon the scene, as well as it intrigued them that this pony has found a way home. They had not foreseen this, and will plan to remedy it soon.

They would force the pony to leave, and then trap the pony in their grasp, then turn the so called 'chosen one' into a tool of darkness. Sets of golden eyes stare into the orb and a single pair of red does as well, all with sinister plans in store, to push the boy to the edge, but it would take some time... so much time...

One of them travels into the past to set the plans in motion, while the others waited. They had waited, and they were patient. All except one who smirked a bit behind his hood, planning on paying the keyblader a visit, to see that one look again. And also to experience the world for himself.

The superior of them all just motions whit a white clad hand and a corridor to the world opens in front of the person, who smirks at the very old, very wise leader before he slips into the corridor of darkness, feeling the shadows slowly shift him and his weapons to fit the world.

The only thought in his head as he brought up two specialized guns to his sides, that he was going to taunt the boy and show the ponies what was hidden behind all that light.

Location: Northern half of ponyville
P.O.V.: Sora's
time: 5 minutes from ponyville square

My hooves kicked up dirt as I ran, pegasi and unicorn royal guards are all rushing towards me on all sides. Each one looking as if they wanted to kill me.

Well they would have a rough time trying to kill me since they didn't look like any of them had much battle experience. They could all gang up on me, but with the level of experience between me and them, it would be a one sided slaughter-fest. Though for some reason I felt as if Flash Kill would be my only real foe among their ranks.

I don't have time to think about them, I just need to maneuver through the city, and run outside to where I won't have to hold back.With that thought in mind I pushed my body further, increasing the speed of my hooves. Buildings blurred by as I ran, the guards slowly falling behind, seeming to already tire out while I could go on for ages.

Or so I thought at first.

The pegasi picked up their speed as some gathered ahead of me with black clouds within their grasps, the ones ahead seeming to have something sinister in their minds for if I went that way.

It was one of the only routes I could take, but it also ran the risk of me getting severely hurt by the pagasi. Steeling myself, I pushed my body more, feeling all four of my hooves pick up speed like a piston, my body slowly spreading apart in an after image as one of my old abilities from my wisdom form kicked in, letting me easily 'warp' past the darkened area caused by the clouds.

They didn't react fast enough, because I could hear them buck something before a loud boom resonated from some impact, though I did not look back.

As I ran, I could sense something wrong, slowly I stopped, skidding on my hooves and tearing up ground as in the middle of a large, empty square before me, stood one black cloaked pony wielding two guns besides it's head. My eyes hardened and I stopped, summoning the keyblade without hesitation as the pony threw back the hood and smirked to me.

A grey coated unicorn pony with a black, tied back main that also had a grey coloring looked at me with one golden eye, the other eye covered in an eye-patch with a scar running form his forehead to his cheek where another scar, on the other side began at the cheek and ran down to his chin.

The pony spoke to me as the guards ran and surrounded the both of us. "Long time no see Sora, you are truly one hoof-full of a troublemaker."

"Braig, what are you doing here!?" I barked back at the stallion who acted as if he was hurt by putting a hoof to his chest and making a mock frown.

"Ow, that hurt Sora. Can't a friend come and say hello?" His frown then turned into a smirk as he loaded his weapons. "Besides, I came to get you out of this place, now that you are so far away form the others, it would be a synch to corrupt you." He didn't care that the guards surrounded us heard and were mumbling between their selves. "Now be a good pony and come with me, or..." Braig then pointed his guns at me, the muzzles ready for shooting their target. "I will force you to come back"

At this I tightened my grip on the keyblade and stared at him. "As if I would actually give myself up, find yourself another lackey!"

Once again he acted as if he was sad. "Aw and I was hoping to deliver you unharmed..." After a second a sadistic smirk played its way across his muzzle and he got into a battle stance as I did. "Well, time to break you keyblader!!"

Braig fired his guns as he teleported and hung form the air, continuing his assault. As his shots came closer, I struck them back at him and started to run around the battlefield that was provided for us by the guards. Keeping an eye on braig, wherever he went, I would run around, and deflect the shots. I need to get in closer to him!

Suddenly he stops and goes to reload, and I rushed in, jumping and going to slash at him before his gun came to my head point-blank. My eyes widen as his muzzle grew a smirk, he was about to shoot, until a rainbow and cyan blur smashed into him, sending him flying. Well only for a bit before he shot at the blue blur, which was rainbow dash.

Instinct took over and I tackled her, causing us to land on the ground and out of the way of the shot. Rainbow Dash kicked me off and in an agitated voice asked. "Hey what did you do that for!?"

"If I hadn't done that then he would have pierced you all the way through with that shot!" I retorted back before we both looked at the direction of where as an agitated voice shouted at them.

"You shouldn't have done that girl, now I will have to eliminate you and the keyblader..." Braig seemed really, really agitated, pure hate poring out of his one golden eye as he brought up the guns and pointed them at us.

I could already sense the massive amount of power he was about to unleash on us, and I looked to dash, I could already feel something connecting for some reason. Is it like before with Pinkie Pie!? Quickly looking at Braig, I would gulp and hope it was like that before, and that we didn't die here. "Rainbow dash, you know that light when me and pinkie became one?"

Rainbow looked up at me in confusion and blinks a bit. "What do you mean?" As we spoke, he started to charge up his guns, the soldiers that surrounded us, running to protect the citizens.

"When I annihilated the heartless. Me and Pinkie became one, now I need your help to defeat this guy. Please, lend me your strength." She seemed to think it over a bit before she got up and smirked, nodding.

"Well of course! You can count on 'THE Rainbow Dash'!" Letting out a chuckle, I would nod and closes my eyes, my heart connecting to hers. A chain of friendship surges form the darkness, binding hearts and increasing their strength, combining them into one being. The light shone through the darkness of nothingness and surrounded both friends in blinding light.

The light stung the eyes of Braig, causing him to cancel his attack and shield the darkness filled eyes that was given to him by his master.

The light slowly fades and I stood there, my mane taking a rainbow frost tip as I felt my speed increase past what my body was capable of. In my right hoof, the kingdom key shone, and in my left, a strange keyblade shone from a rainbow light. The blade was a rainbow beam that shot out from a rainbow ring that had a stone with Rainbow Dash's cutie mark on it. The beam lead into one cloud near the base, another cloud in the middle, and then to a small Rainbow Dash flowing through another cloud in front of the sun, the sun being the teeth of the keyblade.

As Braig was trying to get rid of his blind status, I rushed in, in front of him in a matter of a single breathe and started an impossibly fast assault. I couldn't even keep up, I just let my body flow form slashes to slashes, all I could do was try to count how many I did...ten, twenty, thirty, fifty.

Though as all good things, it came to an end, as Braig shot us away, and somehow his shot depleted my energy and we were both forced to separate. He activated his teleport ability and pointed the muzzle of his gun point blank at my head, about to shoot when it was shot away by a magic bolt coming form behind me.

Craning my neck, I looked around to see a pissed off blue alicorn, who was staring at the grey unicorn with pure rage. "You spirited away our brother, and for that you will perish!!"

Location: A few ponies away from the town square
P.O.V.: Princess Luna
time: A few minutes before she interrupted

My eyes would gaze upon the light that was similar to my sister's, I dare even say that it was the same as I walked to the battlefield and witnessed that pony who took down my soldiers standing on his back hooves and facing.... My eyes widened at the black cloaked, grey unicorn.

A flashback to a room I haven't been to in so long, baby toys for a newborn colt filled it and over a crib, one black cloaked figure stood, cradling a sleeping foal in his arms, the royal necklace that mine parent gave him hanging form the bundle our brother was in.

My rage awakened, that one memory burned into my mind ever since that night. And now, I have the chance to get revenge. As the male was about to defeat the stallion that had dealt a fatal blow, I shot a magic arrow into the pony's weapon and glared. "You spirited away our bother! For that you will perish!"

Not giving this strange unicorn any time for recover, I keep shooting my arrows over and over again, well really I call them arrows, but they were beams of pure magic. And each one seemed to not only hit but stun the pony, so I continued, blasting the pony over and over again until was sure there was nothing but a crater where he once stood.

As dust cleared, I was angered and surprised to see the stallion still existed, but with a smirk as he back into a portal of darkness. "You win this round keyblader, but your princess won't save you next time." And with that, he was gone. giving out an order quickly, I have the guards escort the injured ponies I saw to the infirmary near here, well the hospital really. There were some questions that needed to be answered, and the cyan stallion would tell them to me.

Chapter 7: The Dream Sages and the Nightmares

Location: west hospital wing
Time: a few hours after the fight
P.O.V.: Luna

'It was strange, the one we were most worried about was the one known as rainbow dash... but w- I am surprised that she was the one who woke up first. The boy was probably to be thanked for that, but he has not woken up yet, in fact he seems to be sleeping.

Maybe I should check in on him, and his dreams, it might give me a new look at this boy as to who he is, or what he has done.' All of these thoughts ran through my head as I indeed stared down at the sleeping stallion. He did feel familiar, but it was probably too long ago to remember the face properly.

With a slight sigh, I would close my eyes and let my magic wash over me slowly, the magic slowly making me into a dream specter, a creature who can take any form within a dream. Deciding to stay in my form for now, I slowly slipped through the now visible aura of the stallion's dream, not knowing what I would find in his dreams, or what would find me.

It is also my duty as a dream sage to aid int he peaceful rest and awakening of many ponies. Though it might not seem like it, but there are others out there, floating in dreams who aid other, but there are a few that make it their job to try and give some of them rude awakenings, some even tried to take over the pony's body in real life. In fact, Nightmare Moon used to be like one of these things who caused Nightmares, which is why we gave them the name, Nightmares.

How they tried to take over the pony is that, they find the single thread in their dreams that leads the the pony's subconscious and they pull themselves in, trying to impose their thoughts and ideals into them. It isn't always easy to find the thread, but if they did find it, and depending on who is the one they are trying to control, it would be game over for the pony.

I would shake my head of the thoughts and turn my attention back to where I was heading, and it looked like a beach, the pony must be dreaming about home, or maybe which island he wants to go on vacation.

Or so I thought...

Upon scanning the beach, i found some strange, bipedal creatures, but only two stood out, a red haired child with a white shirt and purple skirt and a silver haired boy with a yellow vest and baggy blue pants. To the left of them, there would be a child pony, sitting down and looking up at the sunset with them, they pony wearing a white and red jacket, one pair of boots mixed-matched with another pair by the looks of it, and red baggy shorts.

They were all on this tiny island that lead to a door that was across a wooden bridge. The small island had a few coconut trees and a strange tree with star shaped fruit on it, the girl was sitting on it, the silver her boy was leaning ont he base of it, and the colt jsut sat int he sand.

The colt turned to the two bipedal things and asked. "So kairi's home is out there somewhere, right?"

The silver boy answered, "Could be. We'll never know by staying here."

"But how far could a raft take us?" The colt replied, curiosity ringing in his eyes.

The silver boy shook his head as he reached out a hand to the sunset. "Who knows? If we have to we'll think of something else." Slowly he let his hand fall down.

Kairi, the girl I presumed, spoke next. "So, suppose you get to another world. What would you do there?"

The silver haired boy looked down in thought. "Well, I haven't really thought about it. It's just... I've always wondered why we're here, on this island. If there are any other worlds out there, why did we end up on this one? And suppose there are other worlds... Then ours is just a little piece of something much greater. So we could have easily ended up somewhere else, right?"

The colt laid back with his arms behind his head. "I don't know."

"Exactly. That's why we need to go out there and find out. Just sitting here won't change a thing. It's the same old stuff. So lets go."

Kairi spoke up. "You've been thinking a lot lately, haven't you?"

The silver haired boy turns to her and smiles. "It's thanks to you. If you hadn't come here, I probably would've never thought of any of this. Kairi, thanks."

She giggles. "You're welcome."

Suddenly the scene starts to change into a more dark tone, the sky was pitch black, and there was an orb of compressed darkness within the sky, my eyes widened as I thought the Nightmares were already on their way. Though, as I looked around, there was no one coming. Not even a flicker of energy from them. All I could see is that on the same little Island, stood the silver haired boy and the colt was rushing towards him.

The colt stopped and looked at the boy. "Riku, where's Kairi, I thought she was with you!"

"The door has opened..."

"What?"

"The door has opened Sora! Now we can go to the outside world!" Riku turns to Sora, smiling a bit.

Sora shook his head and looked to Riku. "What are you talking about? We've got to find kairi!"

Riku looked at Sora, a bit ticked. "Kairi's coming with us! Once we step through, we might not be able to come back." He slowly looked up at the dark orb above him, not flinching.

'So the compressed darkness is part of the dream?' I thought as I watched the scene play out.

"We may never see our parents again. There's no turning back. But this may be our only chance. We can't let fear stop us! I'm not afraid of the darkness!" That is when things got a bit worse as I finally sensed something was wrong. The thing known as Riku gripped his side and stumbled back.

Sora, the colt jumped in surprise. "Riku!? Wait this isn't part of my memory!" I would watch as the colt summoned something, it came from a pure light that formed into a weapon before the light started to fade once more, within the colt's mouth was a giant key in the form of a blade.

I barely noticed this as I could sense a great foe, far stronger than Nightmare Moon, one of the top Nightmares that had recently joined the world of sleep. Slowly Riku's body within the dream started to turn into a rather large dark portal.

Out of it, flying at a high speed came a pitch black, humanoid dragon with red, pink and purple scales adorning it's body, wings, and the celestial ring that hung int he air between it's wings. The ring pulsating in darkness, this was the anti-form of the king of dragons, Bahamut. It was a ferocious beast that here int he dream realm and the physical realm had unmatched strength. My eyes widened and trembled as I saw it, though the power of it was strong, it could not match mine. It is only the looks that held me there, floating as an astral form rather than fly towards the colt who was about to try and force out the intruder.

Location: Dream World - Destiny Islands (the last days)
P.O.V.: Sora

I could tell this opponent was strong as it ripped into my dreams, as I can sense the heart of light of the astral being up above, but this dragon was no match, I have fought stronger before, but something tells me, the scales will be my biggest challenge fighting the dragon creature.

As I stood there, my mission objective popped into my head.

Objective: Find a way around the armor of Bahamut, wait for the right time then strike when his defenses lower.

Immediately I scanned for health as I ran, the creature charging at me first with a strong gust of wind behind it. It's health wasn't that high, at least it was not like that armor I fought once before. Shuddering at the memories of that one fight, I continued, running and then eventually taking flight for an areal assault on the creature.

My wings flapped and my mouth tightened on the keyblade as I charged the creature, it charged at me. An all too familiar sensation hit me, a reaction came up and I somersaulted over the creature and slashed at the celestial circle, hitting it seemed to make the creature scream out in pain before it flew off. I thought to myself, So that is the weak point.

With fierce determination to strike at the circle that was on the back of the beast, but as I closed in, it right hooked me, sending me spiraling to the ground hard, creating a small crater about five feat deep. This left me in a daze, and a cloud of sand obscuring my view at to what the beast was doing. Though by the feeling of high energy levels rising, it was not good if it hit me.

p.o.v. no ones

The dragon let the celestial circle start to spin and absorb the dark energies around it, especially from the orb that was within the child's memories. It lusted for power, and the power and the keyblade would give it much more than it could ever dream of. With determination shining deep within its eyes, it started to charge up the energy into a condensed ball within its mouth. Slowly as it opened it's mouth, the energy started to fluctuate and slowly becomes dark fire.

As it all turns into the dark flames, it quickly opens its mouth and shot out a beam of concentrated energy at the crater the stallion was in. Though as it made contact, something disrupted the blast, making it turn back into the energy that it borrowed form the dream darkness. Slowly as it fades, the dragon saw the bane of it's existence, or at least one of them.

In front of the stallion stood a swordsman dressed in red, a black long sword with yellow trim held out in a defensive position and black glasses hiding the eyes which focused on the dark creature. Slowly the red swordsman reached into the rob it wore over black battle armor, and used an elixir on the stallion. To this, the stallion stood up and looked up, a gasp coming from his annoying mouth as he then said the name of the man. "Auron!?"

It seemed to bring a soft smirk to the red swordsman as he slowly turns to the stallion. "Hello Sora."

P.O.V.: Luna

My eyes opened wide, and I was held there by fear of being obliterated by the power of darkness that was heading towards the boy. The dream energy that the dark aeon had absorbed was more powerful than any she has seen before. Even with her bloodline, she could not survive a blast like that.

That is what I thought moments before I sensed another within the dream, one who easily took the blast without any damage. The human swordsman that I came to know only recently. Sir Auron, a legendary swordsman from the realm of reality, just a dream of the very essence that the dark aeon, and nightmare Bahamut came from, and from what I have heard of his times defeating the dark summon, he was mightier than the dragon, yet why did he come? He has not taken interest in protecting many dreams, but instead kept to himself most of the time.

Why did he come to save this stallion that was in the crater? Was the only thing that I could think as well as I see the man heal the stallion who looked surprised, as if the stallion had seen him before.

P.O.V.: Sora

I could not believe it, it was Auron, but I had no time for questions as he looked to me with a soft smirk and said. "Sora, lets show him, out Bushido."

I would nod and gets up, the kingdom key being surrounded by darkness as it switched to oblivion, a key made out of darkness, yet bends tot he will of light. Taking a stance, back to back with Auron, we let the light charge up between us, our hearts connecting easily as the dragon charged at us, his claws reaching out in an attack to stop us.

It never made it, as it's claws were about to slice through me and Auron, we reacted, and sent it's arm barreling away, making it spin and point it's back as well as the celestial ring towards us. It was stunned, and could not move as we proceed to unleash not a series of different moves, but instead what could only be described as a perfect Zantetsuken, one that could rip through the confines of time and space within the dream realm.

We were in front of it in the blink of an eye, my oblivion key disappearing as Auron's weapon slowly was sheathed. Behind us, the celestial ring and the dragon slowly started to fade in a shower of darkness and pyrflies, as my body starts to slowly fade along with the dream realm I was within. "Looks like our meeting is short Auron, but it is nice to see you again." I would give him a goofy smile as he just nods, a smirk behind his high collar.

Slowly the world of dream left me, and I started to open my eyes, to see the hospital room that I was within. "Even in my dreams, I am a trouble magnet. I better get out of here before I cause more trouble." Smiling as I said that, i would get out of the bed, and put on the items that were next to me, first my vest, then my jacket, then pants with pocket before finally, putting on the final thing, the crown that I hadn't remembered taking off before.

I would run my right fore-hoof on it and smiles, not wanting to part with it ever. It was with me since my birth, ever since I had been forcibly taken away from my first family. The crown, would lead me to them, I just knew it. Without waiting for long, I start to walk out of the room, to find the exit of the hospital, needing to talk to Twilight and her friends anyways about a place to stay.

Little did I know, a princess was slowly forming next to my bed from some smoke that was slowly coming out of my ears, and was frozen, seeing the pendant that haunted her nightmares of the past.

Chapter 8: Trouble at Sweet Apple Acres

Location: Highwind
time: moments before impact
p.o.v.: Riku

I was getting sick of the number of heartless ships that were surrounding us, we managed to take down a few ships, but they keep spawning, almost as if they are preventing us from continuing. The heartless started to attack us about ten minutes ago when we started following the last known area Sora was in before Yen Sid lost track of his life readings.

We followed it, having been on the trail until these annoying heartless started to appear. Donald was muttering curses under his breathe as he swerved the ship in-between the constant shots that were being fired at Highwind from all sides. The ship's sudden movements would have thrown Kairi and I around like we were rag-dolls if we were not already attached to the seats that we were both in.

It would have been made worse by the shots from the ships sometimes hitting the hull of the ship and the ship itself sending shots of it's own out to try and thin the number of the heartless. No matter how many we manage to shoot down, two more would take its place as if it was some sort of line for the fight.

This was starting to annoy me to the point where I yelled at the duck piloting this ship. "Is there any way we can get out of here!?" Donald, already under enough pressure with the fight and worrying about Sora turned and slammed his fist down on a button that was labeled 'Hyperdrive: Sora do NOT touch'. As a red alarm goes off within the ship, Donald would have yelled back, but gulped and looked at what was under his lowered fist.

The only words out of his bill was, "Oh, mother of god!" The next moment, everything around me went black, the sudden shock-wave from the speed had knocked everyone out.

P.O.V.: third person

As Kairi, Riku, Donald and Goofy entered hyperdrive, they all passed out. This black out would leave them unaware of what was happening to them, as their bodies slowly changed in order to accommodate the new world they were about to enter. Little did they know, one of the members of the new organization was on their way, to dispose of them before they became a hindrance to their plans.

Though they have had the pieces on the board in their control, their grips on the pieces slowly slipping away. The original could already feel his control on them all slipping with this one mistake, this one twist of fate that decided to come forth from the shadows that he seeks to control. The same shadows that Sora was the key to.

No matter what the original thought of, it always came down to him winning control of the boy, for he was the key to ultimate power. A power to purge all light and darkness, then make the worlds anew, in his own image.

The image of ultimate darkness.

time: momnets before the crash
Location: Ponyville square
P.O.V.: Sora

The town that was just in danger not too long ago seems to be back to normal. Like disasters happen and go at a whim on a normal bases. It was weird to me, but also it was sort of nice. Everything was busy and peaceful, and it was bringing a smile to my face that I couldn't control. Songbirds sang in the background as ponies walked around the square, slowly buying and selling items in the different stalls that were set up. Each one being mostly food based items or drinks with tonics, but I was looking for one special 'stall' if you could call it that.

It was an items shop ran by my favorite items guy, a moogle that seemed to follow me wherever I went, whether it be to another section of town, or to another world. It was a bit creepy, but it was very useful whenever it came down to it.

Speaking of the devil, I saw him up ahead, being sort of harassed with questions by an animal lover named Fluttershy. I would start to wonder what it was she was asking and decided to sit nearby and watch. Though I could barely hear, I could get the gist of what she was saying.

"Oh my gosh, oh my gosh. You are soooo cute! Who are you little guy? What are you? Ooooooh! Can I touch your po-"

Deciding then to break into the conversation, I would run to fluttershy and stops her hoof from touching the pom pom. "Um fluttershy, you might not want to do that."

"Sora? Why is that?"

"They hate ponies touching them, it gets them really mad."

Fluttershy pouted and nods to the keyblader, turning to the moogle and then said sorry before she turns back to sora and asked. "What is his species Sora?"

This is where it buts in, seeming a bit ticked. "Don't act like I am not here, kupo! I am a moogle, Kupo!"

Fluttershy blinks and tilts her head in confusion as I look at the moogle and smiles my signature smile. "Hello moogle, how are you this day?"

"Sora, kupo? Ah my faithful customer, kupo!" It seemed to change from angry to happy as it floats there with a holographic balloon next to it that had the word 'shop' on it. "Is there anything you need, kupo?"

"Mind if I look through the synthesis items?" The moogle nods and produces a holographic menu that I then start to look through, Fluttershy seeming amazed and looking over my shoulder to see what I was doing. She would watch me use a hoof to scroll through the items before I made my purchase, a single elixer, a few potions, and a few ethers.

Though what happened next, freaked the poor girl out. The items materialized out of thin air in front of me, and she jumped back, shaking in place as they randomly appeared. Her eyes were wide as she stared at them, and then me for acting like it was a normal, every day thing for me. Which it pretty much was when it came to the moogle store.

Taking the items, I would start to walk off and store them away before waving good-bye to the moogle. I didn't know where I was heading, but right now I could care less about where I went, in fact I think I might just wonder around, get a good view o-

"Well howdy dere Sora." My ears flick as I look to the orange mare with blonde mane named Applejack. "Out of da hospital already? My, Celestia must be watchin' over ya."

"Heheh, possibly." I would go to move, but then realized something, I needed a place to stay, seeing how I am stuck here after the gummy ship broke down during landing. Turning to Applejack, I would sheepishly ask. "Um is there anyplace I could sleep? It seems during the fight before I lost some money and used the rest to buy some things."

Applejack smiles a bit and sizes me up a bit. "Well seein' as how tough ya are, why don't ya com 'nd help me on mah farm, 'nd we give ya a place to rest up?"

I would nod at the sound of the idea, and soon am following applejack towards the farm, but something told me, there was danger on the farm, and it would not be just a pleasant heartless attack wither.

P.O.V.: Apple bloom
time: a minute before crash landing of Riku and Kairi's ship
location: east side of sweet apple acres orchard

The day had been long, but the sweet going down my blonde coat and some water soaking my red mane and tail, as well as my red bow, felt nice.

I was helping Big Mac, my brother with the chores, since my friends were helping their 'sisters' with their things. I am not complaining, but it feels nice helping my brother out, especially with that thing falling form the sky about t-

"Wait, thin' fallin' from dah sky?" I would look up at the sky and scream a bit in fear before starting to run towards da house, hoping to tell Big Mac and Granny Smith in time. After all Big Mac was the strongest earth pony to date, and Granny might know what is happening, but before i make it too far, something struck me in the back of the head, and I passed out, only seeing a cloaked pony with some sort of blue clay-more. The last sound I registered, was Big Mac swearing out the cloaked pony.

P.O.V. Big Mac
time: seconds before Apple Bloom was attacked

There was something wrong in the air. I could feel it the moment that the flaming fireball impacted somewhere int he deep eastern side of the farm. Then, my senses went haywire and I ran, charging for where I last saw Apple Bloom go.

I could feel my orange mane and tail whip in the air and the wind race against my red coat as I ran, if there was something wrong with my smallest sister, and the thing that caused it was still there, there would be no stopping me from tearing them apart.

Slowly I saw a figure of a stallion up ahead and a figure of a filly, which the stallion was standing over. When it got clearer, all I saw was a cloaked figure reaching down for my sister, who was unconscious. My anger took hold and all I saw was read as I ran forward and went to punch the stallion, but he was faster, dodging my attack and making my hoof hit a tree, and practically uprooting most of it without feeling a thing.

A voice that sounded cold and devoid of emotion came from the stallion's direction, seeming to mock me as he spoke. "Having trouble controlling your own strength?" My eyes glare towards him and I ran at him again, I knew it would not make a difference, but I had to hit him at least once, however long that would take...

location: road to sweet apple acres
P.O.V.: Sora
time: Seconds before crash landing of highwind

I stopped, suddenly the presence of another organization member was made clear. You could practically taste the evil that was in the air, and I had to follow and defeat it. Though it seemed I wasn't the only one who felt something as Applejack seemed to panic a bit, she would say an excuse too fast for me to follow and ran along the road while I just hopped the nearby fence, there was no time to waste since it was just past a bit of these trees.

After my hooves touched solid ground, I ran, pumping my hooves on the ground, practically running as fast as AJ was at the moment towards the organization member. Little did I notice that the sun had set and the moon had rose up to mark the occasion of battle, and it was going to be a tough battle of the night.

location: deep eastern orchard
P.O.V.: Saix

After having dealt with the filly, I was left with the idiot who tried to sever my head with his hoof. All the while stuck with little time to dispose of the keyblader's friends. Soon either his friends would show up or he would, making this mission all the more difficult for me.

Then again it did not matter, if the keyblader came it would be like killing two birds with one stone. I would knock him out, dispose of his friends, and then take the dumb boy with me to Xehanort. Also since I have my heart, it gives me all the more pleasure of beating the boy senseless with my clay-more.

With a sigh, I swiftly knock the stallion into a tree with my clay-more, the tree breaking and falling on top of him, pinning him by his back hooves. In the same voice as before when I taunted him about trying to hit me, I said "Now stay down, my quarrel was not with you, and I did not want the filly to see me do what I came to do."

This seemed to tick him off because he glared at me. "What do you mean!? See you do what!?"

I would just shake my head and then turns towards the location of the crater. "I am here, to dispose of some ponies, now be a good stallion and stay put, I will be going as soon as I am finished." Brandishing my clay-more, I started a lea-surly pace towards the crash site, leaving the stallion cursing me out.

location: ???
P.O.V.: ???

"As Sora races to the clearing where Saix was, and applejack was running to see if her sister was safe and sound, the stakes rise without a moment blah blah blah. Writer, do you honestly expect this to be good?" I would sigh, once again talking to some pony who doesn't know how to write. I could change the entire story in a single snap of the talons I have and no pony could stop me. "Well I guess since fluttershy will be in it within a few chapters, I will let this play through... but you better not disappoint me."

With a laugh, i would brush my twisted horn and antler before looking at my body, laughing once more at myself since this body was the face of Chaos, and I see to it that this story become entertaining from here on out, especially with a possible two-faced boy who is running, not knowing what might happen if he doesn't hurry.

"There, I said it writer, now if you excuse me, I am late for my tea break with fluttershy." I snap my fingers and soon disappears from the view of the writer.

Author's Note

Sorry that it took so long, life has really taken a dump on me and, I wanted to work on this for a while, but with the busy schedule especially during summer I have to add, It was rare I could even touch the computer. So thanks to those who have been waiting. Also sorry about the last entry, I am just showing a possible scenario of Discord being in the story, as a villain later on like in the tirek episodes.

Chapter 1: The Arrival

Time: About three hours after Sora had come back from the darkness that plagued his heart during the mark of mastery exam.
Location: Gummi Ship
Point of view: Sora's

After the events of Riku's and my Mark of Mastery Exam, I had decided to go back to the world of sleep... but I changed my mind, and parted ways with my friends, telling them that I wanted to travel on my own. Granted that was not the best Idea I ever had, because at the moment, I needed my friends.

They had been with me through all the travels I have been through, and I didn't want to do this alone, but would they believe me if I told them what I had remembered? I doubt they would. I am even a bit iffy on it, but the memory seems all so real.

Time: During Sora's awakening after the events of Castle Oblivion

I was witnessing something happen behind closed eyes. A Pony that was as white as snow, with a mane and tail of multiple colors flowing in an endless phantom wind, looking down at me with a reassuring smile. Two more ponies tried to get past her, all I can hear is my name being called, and then the image suddenly shatters as I am slowly brought into reality.

Donald and Goofy were calling my name, so I pushed the strangely vivid dream aside and walked out of the pod that I was in.

Time: present

Back then, the memory went away and back to sleep, since it was an incomplete memory, but as I ventured through the realm of sleep, it slowly came back, and came out to the surface after Riku saved me from becoming Xehanort.

That memory is what brings me to search for the world that was in my memories, and possibly belonged to my past.

"Now, where should I start looking first?" I said to myself, since I had no Idea where he should go. Without any Idea on what to do I simply looked out to the side, only to see my reflection over the endless darkness of space, dotted with so many lights.

My reflection was a light skinned male with dark brown hair that was spiked and defied gravity, eyes that looked like they were the color of the ocean, and was at a height of nearly five feat tall. The clothes I wore, as my reflection goes, were my black shorts with red pockets ontop of them that were connected to my waits through yellow straps. On my torso, I wore a blue shirt with a blue, red, and wide mid drift, and a black jacket with some silver lining over all the clothes that I wore.

And my necklace, it was one I have had all my life, and it never once left my neck. Besides for my childhood where I hid it from Riku.

Each year i grew older, it seemed to grow with me, almost as if by magic another link in the chian would form and make it bigger.

Shaking my head, I would turn and look away form my reflection, looking on ahead as a time bomb just blow up right in front of me, and severely damage the controls. After a few more spawned and damaged the gummi ship even more, I was sent spiraling towards a mysterious mist that always blocked me off from leaving this galaxy, a magic spell I presumed to keep the world order, but it did not stop me, in fact it parted ways for me this time, but that darkness that comes when you faint came over me, and I blacked out.

Location: Equestria-Ponyville
time: as sora was being attacked
point of view: purple alicorn Princess

I often come out star gazing with my friends, but tonight sadly wasn't going to be one of those nights. My teacher, Princess Celestia, had recently sent me a letter that somepony would appear, and it was up to me and my friends to find him. The problem was, she never gave a description of the pony, and it was making my purple coat go all hay wire with my magic and my wings.

The letter was received two days ago, and I could not live my li-

A male voice came form downstairs. "Uh! Twilight!" I could picture my number one assistant's face at the moment, the small one foot dragon that had, his green eyes with dagger like centers, his light green underbelly stretched up slightly along with his purple scales to show a really worried face.

After that appeared in my head, I ran down the stairs, looking for him whit my lavender eyes. "Spike!?" I called out to him, wondering what it was that suddenly caused him a lot of stress. That is when I saw him pointing outside.

"S-Something's falling out of the sky and heading for us!" There was so much worry in his voice, but despite that I looked, not beleivi-

"Dear Celestia!" Something yellow and red, as well as on FIRE was heading down towards ponyville, and many ponies, now noticing it, start to scream and panic, running around every witch way.

It was almost like that ti-

"This is almost like the time that Discord came back the first time!" A sudden appearance of a pink pony with bouncy, gravity defying, pink mane with tail combo. Her dark blue eyes wide and looking at the fire covered object heading to ponyville square where the statue of Celestia was. "Oooooo! I bet you anything that it is a pony in that spaceship, visiting us from another world!"

Twilight turned to the pink pony and grumbles. "Pinkie Pie, stop being random for once!"

"But, I am not acting random, I simply read on ahead of the story!" Twilight was about to respond when the inevitable crashing sound of the object hitting the center of Ponyville Square sounded. This caused Twilight to facehoof herself and run out of the door, heading towards the object, hoping that everypony was alright, and hoping to find out what it was...

"This strange object was found with him-"
Sora sighed as he stood there, found out.
"This is definitely going to be an odd afternoon."
"I wonder if my firends, will understand."
"The 'key' is here..."
"Surrender yourself at once!"
"Oooooo! Spoilers~"
