Kingdom Hearts: Keys of Equestria

Chapter XI: Another Unexpected Surprise, Part I

Perspective: Riku

"Darkness is eternal. Surely, we nothings must be the same."

After Xemnas had attacked me, I passed out & woke up in a forest. I could see the outline of a town, so I decided to head that way. I summoned Way To The Dawn just in case. As I made it to the edge of the forest, I could see the town in greater detail. There was a huge farm, covered in trees holding what looked like apples. I could see a medium sized red blur in the orchard as I got closer. I finally made it to the shape, & what I saw shocked me to the core.

It was a large red pony, about a foot shorter than me, with a ginger colored mane & tail. Half of a green apple marked his flank.

"Uhh... might Ah ask who you are?"

I was certain that I had gone insane. I was seeing talking ponies with country accents & tattoos. He didn`t seem to be dangerous, so I decided to press my luck.

"My name`s Riku. What about you?"

"Big Macintosh. Most ponies call me Big Mac, though. Say, yer name sounds familiar. Ya gotta friend named Sora?"

"You know him!?"

"He just woke up in our orchard a couple days ago. Ah haven`t met him yet, but mah sis has. Let me see if she can talk to ya. Come on."

I followed Big Mac to a small farmhouse, which he entered. A minute or two later, I could hear a loud "WHAT!?", followed by rapid hoofsteps.

An earth pony with an orange coat & a blonde mane that was mostly obscured by a cowboy hat trotted through the door with a look of shock on her face.

"So, yer that Riku that Sora was talkinabout. He said that some fella named Xemnas killed ya. Ah wonder what hell think about this...

Oh! Sorry bout that. Names Applejack. Good to see ya Riku."

"Same here. You said you know where Sora is?"

"Yep. Come on, Ah`ll take ya to him."
