//-------------------------------------------------------// The Adventure of Five Friends on an Unknown World -by khandmlpfan- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1: The Arrival //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1: The Arrival Chapter 1: The Arrival Sora smiled happily as he sat in a passenger seat within the glass dome of the gummy ship. Slowly he surveyed his surroundings. Around him were a number of complex mechanical devices that were all created by the ship's engineers who were going by the name Chip and Dale. The other few things besides the machines were a few chairs here and there which were all filled. One of them, the captain's chair held a white duck that wore a blue jacket and hat that seemed to have zippers all over the place. Slightly to the right of the duck sat a dog anthropomorphic dog who wore a green sweater, a light brown vest, some dark brown shoes and some brown breeches around his legs. On top of his head though laid a tall hat with goggles around the base of it. Slowly Sora turned his head and saw the other two chairs besides his own, one which occupied a red haired girl who wore pink shoes and a rose colored dress over a white one. He saw her eyes, they looked as if they were made out of the light blue sky like inside of their home world, Destiny Islands. She turned her head and smiles at him before she looks back at the silver haired boy behind her seat. He had the same colored eyes as the girl, his slight smirk showed he thought he was now being watched. His body held a black shirt with a white and yellow vest over it, on his legs all he had was a pair of blue jeans and a pair of white and blue shoes. Smiling Sora then turned to see his reflection in the glass. He had spiky, dark brown hair and oddly the same colored eyes as the other two humans. He wore black shorts and a red and blue shirt with a black jacket over it that had some patches of blue, red, and yellow all over like red pockets, yellow straps, and blue shorts underneath the black ones. He then turned to the others, looking from the duck, to the dog, to the girl, and finally to the other boy with them. From the order he looked each name for them came up. The name of the duck was Donald, for the dog he was literally named Goofy, then Kairi was the red haired girl of the group and finally, it came to both his best friend and his life long rival Riku. His head was filling with the many battles and adventures they had, and the memory of how Riku and him found their friend Kairi, but a voice snapped him out of his daze. Help......we ne.......some......any......help Sora would turn and then see some sort of weird world that they had missed during the scans around this place before. There was a large world, a village of old styled houses on one section of it, surrounded by a forest that was next to a magnificent white and golden castle that was held up on the side of a mountain. What captured Sora's attention, besides two constantly moving things which were the planet's sun and moon, was a shroud of darkness over a large town that was slowly disappearing. His eyes would widen as he jumped out of his seat and ran towards Donald, forcing the duck out of the seat before making the gummy ship charge straight for the black cloud. The duck would look at Sora and yell, "Sora! What do you thin- Oh, crab apples. Everyone brace for impact!" Donald then ran into a  seat and buckled up. Kairi would turn around and look at Sora, going to say something before something sounded the alarm of the ship. She would then turn and watch out the window as her eyes widen. "SORA!" Riku would look and then his eyes would widen as a large tonberry ship ran at them and used it's knife to cut at the ship's hull. Sora would turn his head and scream as the knife slashed, luckily missing him, but cutting the part of the gummy ship he was on from the rest of it. Riku would get up and run towards the ever growing gap that appeared form the cut as he jumped towards Sora's half of the ship or rather for the pilot seat and the controls that were cut off as it plummeted towards the world bellow, the other half shooting off towards the castle on the hill while the other plummeted towards the dark cloud. Sora would hold out his hand and manages to catch and pull Riku into the part of the ship before they looked back, all they saw was the black mist before they were knocked out from strange force. The last thing they heard was maniacal laughter and the sound of their friends screaming as they fell. Slowly Sora and Riku were floating, falling down into darkness, the only lights that were there were form a hole in the black sky and the ever growing circular light they were falling towards. Slowly the light started to change and take shape into that of a stained glass pillar, one that showed them and their friends on it. Though what was odd about it was they were in the form of ponies. Riku was a grayish-black unicorn with a silver mane, his clothes were now gone and all he had that represented him was his keyblade, or rather the symbol of it over a heartless shaped mark on his flank. Sora was back to back with Riku, his pony form being that of a cyan coated pony with dark brown hair, but instead of a horn he had wings. His flank had a light silver heart, or rather the outline of it and his usual weapon over it, the kingdom key. Slowly as they descended towards the pillar, they saw glimpses of other ponies, but soon the image was gone and the two went out of their 'dive to the heart'. Slowly their eyes would open and they would slowly get up, slowly Sora would try to get onto his feet and would end up failing, ending up on all fours. Blinking a bit he would look at himself and his eyes would widen as he saw that he looked like his vision of the 'dive to the heart'. He would then turn and look around for Riku, but his eyes would end up only fall onto a cyan pony who had silvery hair. Slowly the grayish-black pony would open his eyes and looks up at Sora. With a groan he would get up and grumble before saying, "I swear, you do that again and i will make sure to leave you behind." Smiling a bit he would wrap Sora's head in one hoof and give the pegasis a nuggy. Laughing a bit, Sora would then push out of it and look around. All around them there a lot of depressed looking ponies, staring down at them with scared and worried looks. Riku would be sniffing the air as he stood there, Sora just slowly starting to walk towards a pony, but the pony backed away form him. Confusion ran in the pagasis' face before he turns as suddenly a Pink pony with a pink mane and tail got in his face, a great big smile and large, bulging blue eyes met his face as he shrank back a bit. The pink pony's smile only grew as she then bounces up and down and says in a really excited voice, "Hi, what's you name? I'm Pinkie Pie, I like parties, do you like parties? Well anyways lets go have a party!" Blinking a bit Sora would back up slightly. "Um I'm Sora, and this here is my friend Riku." Riku would be coming out of the crater before a blue and slightly rainbow blur past by him and made him flinch a bit. Turning, Sora would look at Riku and tilt his head. "Riku is something wrong?" Riku shrugged and continued climbing before out the corner of his eyes he saw the cyan blur again, coming right at him. With a smirk her would summon his keyblade which appeared with a red sword hilt that was clinging to his mouth with the guard that had been widened a bit. The hilt was surrounded by a guard made from an angel and devil wing, the blade was another thing. The blade was that of a dragon's wing which had a black skeleton and a red membrane for the part of the wing that caused flight if it were real and there was a white angel wing that formed the teeth of the keyblade. Quick with a reaction, Riku used some of his power over darkness to form a barrier around him as the cyan blur just face-plants onto the shield before it dropped, revealing a cyan pegasis pony with a rainbow mane and tail with a hurt wing. Riku would blink a bit as he looked down at the pegasis who stared up at him with glaring, dark red eyes. "What are you doing here!? Did that thing send you!?" The rainbow maned pony got up to her feet and then gets up in Riku's face as she almost yelled the words out. All Riku did was not budge as he dismissed his weapon and then cleared his throat. "By 'that thing', you mean that shroud of darkness outside this city? Then, no, we are not working with the darkness." Before the rainbow maned pegasis could snap at the silver maned pegasis Pinkie burst in, introduced herself and the cyan pagasis as Rainbow Dash, Riku just responding with his and sora's name, leaving an angry and silent Rainbow Dash there as Pinkie went back to talking with Sora. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 2: The Meeting With the Mane Six //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 2: The Meeting With the Mane Six Chapter 2: Meeting With the Main Six Rainbow Dash was furious, staring down the grayish-black pony before she snorted a bit then looked up at Pinkie who was laughing and joking around with the other cyan pegasis. "Pinkie! We have to take them to Twi and the others, hurry it up!" Pinkie just looked at dash and smiled before asking, "Can you two please follow me?" Sora looked at Riku with pleading eyes, the grayish-black unicorn just nodding before he slowly climbed the slop that lead to solid ground that had not been inside the ten foot crater that was caused from the orange and red thing they came flying in on. With a grumbling voice Dash followed the silver maned unicorn, ready to charge at him in case anything funny happened. Just as she got to the top of the crater she swore she could just barely hear a scream, a very silent one at that. After a second her eyes widen as she remembers that Fluttershy was nearby in the yew pens. Before she could fly towards the pens,  he saw out of the corner of her eyes, the dark brown, spike maned pegasis run for the sound of a faint scream first. "Sora! Get back here!" The silver maned unicorn then chased after his friend, leaving Dash and Pinkie behind. Going wide eyed, Dash would go to take flight in order to get to her friend, but as soon as she was off the ground she crashed, due to the damaged wing she got from slamming into the force field the strange unicorn produced. Cursing herself, she would get onto her hooves and take off, coming in hot on the tails of the other two that were ahead of her. Continuing to rush to catch up with them she heard the faint scream again and then her heart felt like it plummeted as she continued to run. Hearing her friend cry out in fear like that made her heart sink, but she had to shake it off if she ever wanted to get to her fast enough. Gritting her teeth she would force her hooves to surge forward, zooming past the two stallions in front of her, but the wind stung her eyes and she was forced to close them before she even knew where she was heading. She went to open her eyes and she started to skid as she saw something up ahead that she could not believe. Surrounding the butterscotch coat, winged, and pink maned pony was surrounded by several, pitch black creatures with glowing yellow eyes. The Pink maned mare was whimpering as she stood between the black creatures and the multicolored yews that were in the pen. Fluttershy's eyes would dilate, her light greenish, blue eyes would seem like two tiny black dots as she shivered in fear of the black creatures slowly coming towards her. Screaming, she would duck her head and cover them using her two front hooves as the black creatures all jumped at her. Rainbow Dash got to her feet and charged forward, bit whenever she was near the creatures she would turn around and skid before she bucked two of the shadows, knocking them into the others and causing them to fly a few feet away. Despite her amazing kick the creatures were up and rushing at the two mare now. Dash would get ready to attack as the creatures came at her and her friend, bracing herself for an all out fight if they even hurt a single hair on Fluttershy's head. The creatures would charge at her, but moments before either of them were in range for an attack, someone or somepony in this case, said out loud. "Riku!" "Out of my way!" Rushing in like ghosts, the other cyan pony with spiky, dark brown hair sweped forward with a strange key shaped sword, everything except the handle and guard were made out of silvery metal, while the guard had a solid leather hilt in the center of a yellow square, or rather rectangle to protect Sora's mouth. Riku's keyblade was in his mouth and both of the ponies were floating through the air, each one chaining a hit from the previous one's attack before Riku smirked and said, "Is that all you got?" After saying that, they charged forward twice in two different barrages of stabbing motions with their swords, each one connecting and seeming to hurt the creatures. As they were ending the combo though, both of them shot back and fired what was a barrage of fireballs, pitch black ones which caused Rainbow Dash to go wide eyed as she saw them both. Both the ponies looked at each other before a clutter of light shone around them and thirteen blades surrounded the two, each blade circling around them and hitting the shadows. They then disappeared and reappeared, repeating the same attack before the two ponies  kicked each other away from the other and threw their weapons into the air. Riku then says, "You're going to lose it all!" At that point, the weapons faced the black creature and shot black and white fireballs towards them, each one hitting and making each one of the creatures burst, leaving a black mist in it's place that quickly faded. As both of the ponies landed they smiled and their weapons disappeared, Sora's in a bright light, and Riku's in a dark mist. Slowly Sora would turn towards the two ponies that he had protected with Riku and then say softly, "You got to be more careful around those things." Glaring, Rainbow Dash would go to strike at Sora, but then she blinks as she sees a white unicorn with a lustrous bluish-purple mane and tail run towards them with a purple unicorn that had dark purple and pink streaks for her mane and tail. Right behind them was an earth pony with an orange coat covering her body, and a golden hay mane with tail. All of them ran over and stopped, surrounding Fluttershy. Fluttershy talked silently with the three ponies that ran towards them, slowly the white one would look up and smile to the two men that were staring at them. Her dark blue eyes shimmering a bit. "Thank you for helping our dear friend Fluttershy, I am Rarity. Mind if i ask who are you?" "I am Sora, and this here sourpuss is Riku." Smiling Sora would brace for a hit from his straight faced companion Riku. Taking this chance Riku playfully punched Sora and laughed. "Come on Sora, you know me better than that. Anyways, who are these two with you Rarity?" Riku would then go straight faced again and nod to the violet eyed, purple unicorn and the orange earth pony with light green eyes who were staring at them. "They are Twilight Sparkle and Apple Jack." She smiled and first point to the unicorn and then the earth pony. Twilight slowly put a smile on her face and nods to Sora and Riku. "Hello, it is nice to meet you." With a slight country accent Apple jack would say, "Howdy yahll, thanks fer hlepin' mah friend Fluttershy." Pinkie then gasped and then ran in front of twilight. "Twilight! Maybe they can help us with the crystal ponies!" Twilight looked at her friend Pinkie and began to think as Sora and Riku stood there and looked around. "Riku, i do not think we should leave this place... these ponies need our help. And you know we must help whenever someone or somepony is in need of out help." "There is no way of me stopping you from doing this, is there Sora?" Sora would just give him a smile as his reply before Riku facehooves himself. "Why do i even bother to ask?" "Because maybe you like to ask obvious questions?" Sora would smile and then laugh as Riku punches his left foreleg with his right hook. Smiling and laughing, Sora turns to Twilight and nods before asking, "How can we both help?" With that Twilight smiled and then began to tell them about the current situation that was going on with the crystal ponies. The crystal ponies had been gone over a thousand years and the only hope for them to stay here and defeat the cloud of darkness outside the barrier that was around the place was to have them charge up a crystal heart with their joy and happiness. Though after a bit of trouble they had found out that there was a rare artifact they needed to get in order to save the ponies called, "The Crystal Heart". Sora took all of this and pondered for a bit before nodding. "Well that's were we can come in. We can help keep the ponies happy and try to keep them safe while you find this crystal heart!" //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 4: A Princess and the Royal Knights Arrival //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 4: A Princess and the Royal Knights Arrival Chapter 4 Kairi would slowly fall down into darkness, the only light that shone on her came from a stained glass column bellow her. Her eyes slowly looked upon it, seeing her human form there on the stain glass portrait slowly turn into a pink unicorn with wings, her mane and tail as Red as a rose. Being a bit confused she looked at the other two standing which seemed protectively over her, A white griffon with a mage's rod in a few talons, and a dog, a strange bull dog who had a green jacket and a large sheild in hand. Suddenly feeling weak she would close her eyes and drift off into a soft slumber. Donald and Goofy would be the first two of their party of three to wake up. Slowly Donald rose up to his four taloned feet and looked around, the surrounding area having the looks of a garden. Goofy would be looking at the Griffon in front of him and then towards a strange unicorn with wings next to them. He would slowly reach his hand to touch the body before a sudden rushing of hooves made him turn, seeing a bunch of knights clad in silver armor. One of them spoke up, "What do you think you are doing in the royal gardens!?" The guard would then see and gasp at the unconscious pony behind the two of them. "They assaulted one of the Princesses men, do not let them escape!" Suddenly they would all brandish spears at them. "Goofy, don't let your guard down!" Donald pulls out his mage's rod and Goofy, pulling out his knights shield as he stood there. The guards would charge, but would stop as they saw Donald raise his wand and a bunch of lightning bolts struck in front of them. Goofy threw his shield which started to clash with the heads of each soldier that came his way, then it would disappear and reappear in his hands. Many of the guards charged at him and Donald, each meeting great damage and being knocked out. Eventually there would be one blue maned unicorn with a white coat standing there. The unicorn easily rushed up to them, goofy meeting him head on with his shield to defend the now exhausted spell using Donald from the blow, only to be sent flying into a nearby wall by a great force. When Goofy looked at who ahd attacked him, he would find two darkly colored guards with yellow dragonic eyes looking at him. One of them spoke in a slightly demonic voice, "Shining Armor, are you alright?" Goofy took this time to react and overpower the guards, hitting them to the ground. With hat he would jump away from them, only to find himself surrounded by guards with the same look as the two dark armored guards. "Gawrsh.... Donald we might not make it..." "Come on, let's go get 'em, Goofy!" With that the guards that surrounded the royal mage and the head of the royal guard of another world charged at them, intent on the destruction of those that would be foalish to go through with an assault on the kingdom.They ran at the two who prepared for the fight of their lives, but suddenly a large light shone and a pink alicorn much like princess Cadance stands int heir way. Still some guards charged forward, having a clear shot of the two, but all they met was the blade of a strange key shaped weapon with a  flora design. The Cadance look alike opened her sky blue eyes and looked at Donald and Goofy. "Are you two okay?" Donald looked up and smiles before nodding to the girl who had accompanied them. "Great that you are now up and ready Kairi." One of the guards saw an opening and swooped in to try and get the Princess away from them, but all he is met with is a blow to the back by some strange lighting that was not of this world. Donald had casted the spell and was immediately thrown off guard by some pegasi's attempts on attacking him. They all charged at once, getting extremely close to him before their heads got struck hard by both a shield and the strange floral sword. From the site of this all he royal guards start to charge at them, but then a great shouting voice, one the black guards knew very well called out, "WHAT IS THIS INSOLENCE THAT WE ARE HEARING!? DO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS AND THAT WE NEED OUR REST!?" A thunderous, seemingly three layered voice came from above the crowd in the garden, Kairi, Donald, and Goofy all looked up, only to see a black coated alicorn slowly flying down, her dark blue mane and tail floating as if there were air, unlike kairi's who's staid stationary. Kairi got close to Donald and Goofy who looked up into the light blue eyes that glared at the three bellow them with a raging inferno of anger for being awoken from her sleep. All three got ready for an attack by the pony, ready to defend each other and to make it through this, to reach the other two that awaited them. The dark blue alicorn would charge forth in blind rage, only to be met with a barrier from Donald. She hit her head and back up a bit, trying to get the stars out of her eyes form the blow, only to be met whit another hard knock tot he head by goofy and then a rather weak uppercut with kairi's keyblade, but was met with a powerful combo that sent her flying to the ground. She got back up a few seconds after hitting the ground, brushing herself off as if she had not taken damage at all. Now she was mad, and they could sense it. The dark blue alicorn got ready for an attack, but was stopped as a bright light shone between the four, a bright light coming from a white alicorn with a rainbow mane that flowed despite the lack of wind at all. Her violet eyes looked at the three intruders then to her sister. "Luna, who are these three?" "It doesn't matter big sis, they crash landed here and destroyed our garden. Plus they attacked our guards! They must be punished!" Luna went to try an attack before she was stopped by the white alicorn with a sun for a cutie mark. "Let us hear them out, after all there is a keyblader with those two." The white unicorn guard form earlier looked up at the white alicorn. "But princess Celestia, they wiped out almost all of your royal guards, they will be in the hospital most likely a week." "Shining Armor, have i ever failed with my decisions before?" Shining would look at her and shake his head before looking at the three. "Would you like to question them here or in your throne room?" "Here is fine, now please escort my sister to her room for her sleep." All shining could do was nod before escorting Luna towards the castle, wondering why he felt like this wasn't going to be the only strange event that will happen this day. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 5: Sora's Arrival and Memories //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 5: Sora's Arrival and Memories Chapter 5: Sora's Arrival and Memories Sora had been passed out during his trip from the crystal empire to the train station at Ponyville, but during that time he had horrible images fill his head of his heart slowly darken and blacken as the darkness within him took over. The last image to assault his mind was that of him striking down ponies left and right. A sudden smack across the face made him wake up to see a worried Riku looking him in the eyes. "Sora, finally you are awake!" Before sora could respond, he got brought into a strangle like hug by riku. "What's the matter riku? How long have i been asleep? Can i breathe now?" Sora was quickly losing air and riku let him go. Quickly sora took a deep breathe before he looked up at the others getting off of the train. Some ponies in armor stood along a line up towards the castle, but they blocked the exit for Sora and Riku. Twilight looked back and informed the ponies that the two colts were with them, after a bit the guards moved aside and allowed the two males to follow the six mares. Sora and Riku followed Twilight and her friends up to a castle, both the colts going wide eyed as they saw the size of the castle. Both of them were pushed forward and escorted inside, alongside of Twilight Sparkle who had to report to Celestia about both her success with the Crystal Empire, and also about her finding the two boys that are with her right now. They were lead towards a room where Celestia and Luna would sit on the only two seats within there, two thrones that were decorated to match the sun and moon. Yet only one of them was occupied at the moment, and that would be the seat that symbolized the night and moon itself, where Luna was sitting. Sora and Riku decided to hang back near the entrance after the guards closed the door behind them. They felt like it was right to let Twilight introduce them to this princess since they were not from this place and did not know their customs. Twilight would bow to Princess Luna and smiles happily yo her. "Hello, Princess Luna, it has been a while since we last spoken to each other." The young princess went to speak, but then remembers something and then spoke in a soft voice. "Hello Twilight Sparkle. I am curious as to who these two colts are, and as to how your mission went inside of the crystal empire." Sora bowed and then slowly looked up, looking serious for once while he looked up at Luna. "My name is Sora, my friend over near the entrance is Riku. It is nice to meet you..." Sora sensed something was a bit off about the princess before them, like they shared the same experience, but he was unsure what it was, but the thing he felt connected between them was the feeling of loneliness. Yet... there was something else...familiar about the pony princess. Slowly he would walk forward and squint his eyes as he looked at her. "Have we met before?" Luna looked at him curiously as she sat there. "I am not too sure that we have met before. Why do you think i am familiar?" He then moved to her side and blinks a bit as he then gets hit with a painful memory of seeing the side of her face on a moon. "Y-You are that mare from the moon! The one form my dream!" -------Two Years Ago------ Sora was a normal teenager, living on Destiny Islands with his friends without a care in the world. Except for this night, this night he could feel the rage of another person that drew him to it in his sleep. Many stars started to slowly pass by him as he flew, flying towards the source of the rage he felt. The stars slowly started to come to a stop as he stopped in front of a moon. Not the moon of his world, but of another, and the outline of a mare on the moon who looked like she was shrouded in darkness. White chains surrounding the moon kept the darkness from moving, and a lock is what kept the chains there. Sora looked at the mare and then slowly floated over to the lock on the chains, putting his hand on it. "So you are trapped as well? Heh if this is real then i ask but one thing, help me escape from my world once this is all over." He would think in his dream and then he put his hand out, a giant key of light appearing in his hands which he used to thrust into the lock. The key turned easily and with a loud unlocking sound the lock opened and disappeared along with the chains. He could feel the anger slowly moving away from the moon, slowly becoming a black alicorn, with turquoise, dragonic eyes. Her mane and tail slowly flowed and looked as if it was made of the night sky itself. She turned and then bowed before zooming off form the boy to a world that he didn't even catch a glimpse of before he woke up in his bed, or rather his floor and only one leg on the bed.Sighing to himself he would get up onto his bed and looked out the window, suddenly a storm appearing out of no where over the island. "A storm? ....Oh, no, the raft!" Without a moments hesitation he got out of bed and headed to his boat in order to get tot he island to save the raft he and his two friends worked so hard on. ---------Present Time------- "Y-You were there in my dream, trapped in the moon." Sora looked at her, blinking a bit as he looked more closely. "Or at least you looked like her after i set her free." Luna's eyes would widen as she looked at the keyblade master in surprise. "T-Thou art the one who set us free when we were nightmare moon?" //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 6: Reunion Between Friends and One Startling Truth //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 6: Reunion Between Friends and One Startling Truth After much talk between Sora and Luna, Luna would escort them towards the gardens where her sister was at, slightly excited and yet at the same time sad of what she was about to reveal. Sora happily walked behind her with Riku at his side, the both of them talking about his dream since it happened the night of the heartless attack on their island. Riku asking many questions about the dream which Sora had, but Sora kept repeating the same answers since he did not really understand the dream himself. It was as if destiny had forced him to come here, that or this odd nagging feeling that there was something much deeper than anything he felt before hidden somewhere on this world. He actually felt like he would be pulled towards it if he just let his hooves move, but something stopped him as he heard three voices up ahead he recognized A female voice that he recognized most of all spoke. "After that Sora and Riku came back to the islands, and well a few months later we ended up here." Smiling to Riku, who was nodding at Sora, obviously agreeing with what he was thinking. At that nod both of them ran ahead towards the sound of Kairi, both of their childhood friend. Celestia had asked them as to how they came here and their journey to be explained to her. With the help of Donald and Goofy, Kairi started to explain as to what their journey was, since she was not there for all the time the two traveled with Sora. She let goofy and Donald talk about the many places they had seen and the many place Sora led them to, both of them smiling happily as they stood there, loving the times they had with him, but then came that day where Sora unlocked his heart to the darkness to save kairi, but later found his way back to the light form the darkness. Then they explained their adventures after the last battle at the door of kingdom hearts.The other number of worlds they saw, from twilight town, to the World That Never Was. They talked about the several enemies they fought; from heartless, to nobodies, to Sephiroth, and finally to the Organization 13. "Sora slowly fought through the castle that never was, luckily he didn't need to go far to find me and Riku, then we slowly made our way to the top, defeating a few organization members along the way. When we reached the top, we got separated by the doors to kingdom hearts, only Riku and Sora were inside, fighting Xemnas." She would sigh a bit then smiles up to Celestia. "We got to the Destiny Islands, then waited for them. A blue light came formt he sky and well." Kairi paused to think of how to finish it and then nods to herself. "After that Sora and Riku came back to the islands, and well a few months later we ended up here." As she finished the sound of hooves rushing across stone ground made Kairi, Donald, and Goof turn their heads to it and their faces would brighten up as they saw two familiar hair styles on two ponies running their way. Sora was running to them alongside Riku. Sora was the first to speak, "Kairi, Donald, Goofy!" HE smiles, but he gets tackle hugged bu Donald and Goofy. Laughing and hugging his friends he would lay there, smiling like a goofy, but the smile went away as he saw something he didn't expect. Riku slowly walked over to Kairi, the both of them blushing and smiling to each other before it happened. They both kissed, not realizing that Sora was seeing their kept secret. Sora pushes Donald and Goofy off and walked over,the smile still gone form his face. "So..." Riku and Kairi jumped and look at Sora. "When were you two going to tell me?" Kairi stammered a bit with her words and then Riku said it bluntly, "You weren't supposed to know..." Sora shook his head and looked at them with a soft smile that masterfully hid his sadness but he did like seeing them happy. "I am happy for you two." Riku and Kairi were fooled but not anyone else, they both said thank you and Sora made an excuse to go get something and walked away form the garden. Tears formed in his eyes as he walked away from the both of them, not only had he been lied to, but now his heart was broken in two. It was one thing for Sora to hear they were dating, but when told he was never to know, it just made him sad and angry, and also scared of begin alone again on the islands. For as long as he could remember Riku and Kairi were the only ones he hung out with. Now he probably wont even be able to meet with them as much as before. With a sigh he shook his head and turned around, only to be met by the concerned looks of Donald and Goofy. Donald of course spoke first, "Are you okay Sora?" All Donald got in response was a shake of the head as he stood there, looking at Sora. "I am not, but i would rather see them both happy then to be a bother in their lives..." He would softly smile for real this time, it was hard to stay mad at them after all they had been through the years, but now he thought their friendship was slowly coming to an end. Yet he can feel that he will be the one, this time to break the weakened bonds. Ones that he fear might never be reunited once they have been broken. ....Ones that might even keep him from falling under.... //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 7: Drowning Fears and Growing Hopes //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 7: Drowning Fears and Growing Hopes Riku and Kairi would watch as Sora left, both of them thinking he would be alright, but their fear only grows as Donald and Goofy walks after Sora with a worried expressions. Kairi was the first to speak up as she stood there with Riku. "I think we better go to Sora and see what is wrong." "Why? He said he is fine after all kai-" Riku shuts up as Kairi glares at him. "Oh you know i am just kidding girl so calm down." He kisses her lips and then starts to head towards the Direction that Sora went. It was not long before they saw Sora who looked different than before, a crumbling, crying mess. Riku sighed and then starts to walk towards Sora. Sora slowly started to calm down after a bit of sitting there With the Diamond Dog Goofy and the Griffon Donald. He had never shown his sadness at all before to anyone, probably only once or twice to his parents, but never to his closest friends. Riku walked over to Sora and then put his hoof against his shoulder, causing the cyan Pegasus to suddenly turn to him with a whip of his body. "Sora, please tell me what is wrong... Kairi and I are both worried about you." Sora would look down and then looked up at Riku. "I-I fear that when you and Kairi hit it off you guys will forget me. I know i have other friends, but you two are like family to me. I-I just do-" Sora was silenced by a hug by Riku who was smiling a bit. "Trust me Sora, we can't ever forget you. Now come on, where's that goofy smile Kairi and I both like?" Sora softly laughed and then smiled big. "There it is." Riku smiled as well and helped up his now smiling friend "Thanks Riku, but what did you mean back then about me never knowing about you and Kairi?" "We both knew if you found out you would be like this, and we didn't want to make you suffer..." "You are talking to me Riku, you know i would have gotten over it eventually back then, but i don't like the fact you hid it from me.... when did it all start?" "Um a couple of years ago..... maybe about three." Sora would only nod as he continues to smile. "Alright then, no problem. Also here." Sora threw a star shaped fruit his way, Riku this time being the one to fumble with it. "W-What?" "That's a paopu fruit remember? If two people share one their destinies become intertwined. They will find each other and be together no matter what. Come on i know you want to try it!" Sora laughs and smiles as Riku looked at him before laughing out loud. "Heheh Sora you truly are one in a million." "Same as you, Kairi, Donald, Goofy, and King Mickey to." Sora smiled and then turned to Donald and Goofy who were smiling wide. "Well we better not keep kairi waiting. Let's go everyone!" Sora led the others to Kairi and then started to apologize for acting the way he did a bit ago, saying that he truly was happy that the two of them were together, and that they would make a great couple if they got married. It made them both blush, but then the three friends started to laugh as they all stood there. It was like old times again and nothing could separate them. -----------In the Statue Garden--------- The statue of discord, a mismatched collection of body parts turned into stone, would be posed as if he saw a scary movie. Well he was, watching all the happy fillies and colts walk up and take pictures of him, it was humiliating, being made of stone and not able to stretch the old chaos magic around to make Equestria into a natural chaos state. And yet, he could sense a little bit of chaos within one nearby, oh yes, it might not be enough now, but it will be soon that he could use it to his advantage, but now he was bored and decided to pass out while in the stone as he waits for the chaos within the pony to grow. Oh he dreamed how he would thank the pony he felt would be his ticket out of here if he ever did get out of here. Then again he could just wait until Celestia goes with her 'secret plans' to try and reform him, and that would never happen then again he was going to be around some ponies that would easily turn him back to stone if he tried anything 'funny' or 'bad', but how could he, THE GREAT AND POWERFUL EMBODIMENT OF CHAOS, do anything wrong by doing what he does best? It would be like trying to get Rainbow Dash to not fly for a few days, it cannot be done without anyone going crazy. And trust Discord, he knows just how crazy a filly, mare, colt, or stallion could get if pushed over the limit. It is not a very pretty sight to see whenever someone snaps erm somepony, but all in all it is the most hilarious sight for him to see, since it is so erotically chaotic. It literally sends shivers down his spine just thinking about how much chaos could be done by the hands of crazy people who have snapped, and are running a muck around the helpless ponies of ponyville, and many other places he would like to have over-run with these crazies. Ah, the smell of chaos within his own head, what a beautiful thing to smell, until he can get a whiff of the real deal. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 8: Battle With the Dragons //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 8: Battle With the Dragons Chapter 8: Battle With the Dragons Sora and the crew followed Twilight and her friends down to a train station where they all hopped onto the train and started to make their way to ponyville. Twilight was talking about how friendly the ponies in ponyville were. Yet they were unaware of what fate would throw into their faces whenever they got there to the village of ponyville. -------at ponyville------ "Heh mamby pamby ponies!" A red teen dragon, standing about four feet tall compared to the two foot tall mare and stallions that are running form his and his two friend's breathes. "heheh can't even put up a good fight!" The red teenage dragon said as he looked around for a certain specific other dragon that got away form him and his friends. Several stallions were running after them, allowing the foals and mares to run as they stood their ground against the new force that was before them. The dragons just swatted them aside without a single care, causing them to go crashing into things as they searched the town for the purple dragon called spike, but unknowing to them, there are some certain ponies they also wanted to get back at for ruining their fun, on their way towards the town. Nor did they know that spike was running to the train station with Peewie in his arms to warn the others about the three dragons. Spike kept running, Peewie in his arms and his stubby little dragon legs working it overtime. Which speaking of by the time he got to the train station, the eleven ponies that were on there were slowly making their way off of the train. "Twilight! Dragons attacking ponyville!" Spike passed out from the running he had to do and Twilight with the others of the mane six crowded around spike, aj looking around and seeing Sora with Donald and Goofy running away. "'Ey yahll three git back 'ere!" Apple Jack then ran after the three who were running towards ponyville, towards the three that spike tried to warn them about. "Sora are yah sure we should be muddling in other worlds' affairs?" Donald grumbled and said, "Meddling!" This caused Sora to laugh a bit as they ran forward. "Come on Goofy, we have done this several times before." Sora smiles, but soon stops in his tracks as something catches his eyes. Then without a second warning he summons his keyblade and then casts protect just in time, three powerful fire balls hitting and exploding on the impenetrable defense of sora's protect. "Did we get them Garble?" A none too bright teenage dragon with purple scales walks forward, his light yellow hair blocking his vision. A red scaled teenage dragon growls. "No we didn't bones, we didn't even scratch them!" "Heh let me handle them!" A large bodied and mace tailed violet dragon walked forward. "Go ahead then crush, have at them." Was all Garble said. Crush nodded and charged forward, stopping and them hitting his tail on the ground and causing an earthquake, two columns of rock hitting Donald and Goofy, sending them flying into trees. Bones then whizzed passed crush and started to slash at Sora, each one he guarded against with a slight wince. Crush stopped attacking and Sora went to slash at him before Garble charged in, head first and blew an explosive fireball, searing the fur and feathers of Sora as he went flying into the air form the blast. The three dragons took this chance and charged at Sora, landing blow after blow, after blow on the cyan pegasus who's life was slowly slipping away from the constant waves of attacks coming form the dragons who flew at him from every angle. Sora thought (what kind of power is this? I cant even tell where they are coming from... Am I really going to fade this time?) Then out of the depths of his mind her could here someone calling him, not just one, but many voices. No, he would not let anything, not even these three dragons keep him form these voices, light filled his heart and his movements. The dragons dove in for one last attack, but they didn't expect what happened next. With fast movement, Sora recovered in mid fall and flew out of the way of the dragons, causing them to hit each other and stun themselves. Taking this chance, sora ran over to Donald and goofy and raised up his keybalde. "Heal!" Within seconds a green mist coming from a magical lotus blossom not only healed his wounds, but the wounds of his friends. Donald and Goofy both got up and smiled to Sora, and they turned to the dragons, readying for the real fight, but something made the dragons look up behind Sora and his friends. Sora looked back and saw spike and the other walking towards them, Donald and Goofy following his example, btu they made the wrong move, in a matter of seconds, Garble was up and charging past Sora, making a beeline for Spike. The Dragon was fast, but Sora's reactions made him faster, within the time frame Sora saw Garble he sped forward, something he did with some nobodies back at Castle Oblivion. Using that he made it in front of garble and called on riku's help, Riku knowing what Sora meant and uses dark aura, sending a barrage of dark firaga's at the Dragon, all hitting him and sending him flying this time. Taking the chance that Sora saw, he started to attack Garble while the others pounded down on the other two dragons over and over again, eventually the dragons took off, flying tot he north where they came from, away from the ponies that just beat them and showed them the door. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 3: The Crystal Empire Conflict and The End of Sombra //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 3: The Crystal Empire Conflict and The End of Sombra Chapter 3: The Crystal Empire Conflict Sora and Riku smiled to each other as they wore armor, having the job to help with the jousting festivities or rather not a joust, but a show of their fighting skills to the ponies of the Crystal Empire. The down side of it was the fact that they also had to show their powers to them in the fight if they want it to be entertaining. With a sigh, Sora prepared his kingdom key and looked at Riku who had his Road to Dawn keyblade in his mouth. They stood there in a large arena field where dash had thrown them into without a warning and handed them armor. Sora looked forward and smiled as he charged at Riku, jumping up and aerial dodged past an attack, but then with the slight opening that showed itself. Sora would deliver one blow after another,  but before he could finish, Riku summoned his dark shield which caused sora's keyblade to bounce off and for him to stagger back. Riku smirked a bit then raising a hoof up he charged up a dark firaga and jumped up, shooting it towards Sora, making contact and blowing up in his face, causing Sora to go flying and crashing into the nearby wall. Sora would slowly get up, moving some rubble with ease before smiling. "Nice shot, now try mine." Sora charged forward, moving faster than some thought possible, seeming to both teleport and glide to Riku. As he did Riku tried to charge at Sora form the air, about to attack Sora before his eyes widened, his face going head first into a protect spell that Sora threw up with his keyblade. "Light!" Sora cried out as he dropped his spell, his eyes suddenly going white as he slammed his keyblade into the ground. Riku, who was stunned, watched a bit as Sora jumped and twisted with the keyblade, before Sora landed on all fours and gave the kingdom key a final twist. A large amount of light would shoot out form that point, blinding and shooting Riku across the arena floor. Sora's eye turned back to their sea blue as he pulled out his kingdom key and charged after the bouncing Riku. Riku slowly would get up on all fours during this, but then he looked up and smirked. "Didn't expect that old trick, but here's one you might find familiar." Slowly Riku would close his eyes and then float up as his darkness surrounded him, then he would charge after Sora, only nicking Sora as he dodge-rolled, but was met with a full on assault as Riku teleported in front of him and kept on doing that each time it hit. Riku then appeared above Sora after fifteen hits and charged down, shooting Sora back with a shock-wave before a few dark thundragas came from the ground and struck Sora, causing him to grunt and fall down in pain. Shaking slightly he started to slowly get up, a slight black and white electric current going from one point of his body to another. Neither him or Riku would be backing down in this fight unless they heard- "AAAAH! HELP!" Their eyes darted up to the cry that came from somepony who had screamed and both were instantly rushing to the pony who was being attacked by heartless. "Help me!" Sora and Riku both stopped and looked at another pony who was being attacked by the heartless. "RIku you go and help that pony, i'll help this one!" Sora would then turn around and charge towards the fray, slicing heartless down one by one as Riku quickly charged after the other pony and did the same with his group of heartless. IT was short work that they did with all the heartless, continuously slicing them down before the group that attacked the two ponies where no more. They both were thanked and they simply smiled and nodded before hearing a massive crowd nearby start screaming at the top of their lungs for help. Riku and Sora charged into the fray, not knowing what lay ahead of them. Soon they found that the darkness had finally broken in and that columns of black rocks had captured some ponies and were bringing them towards the dark mist that now slowly crept onto the city. "Riku, try to get the towns people, i'll handle the mist." "Sora are you- Hey!" Riku was cut off half way as Sora just started to haul towards the black mist that was slowly descending on the castle, leaving Riku who started to hack and slash at the cage. Sora started after the mist, then stopped ten feet away from it where he thought of one move that was extremely affective against his foes before. With that he would throw his key up and jump, catching it as he dived down tot he ground and twisted his keyblade, soon an extremely bright light started to shine from it, causing the mist to be forced back a few feet before it surged forward, hitting sora, and causing a few black rocks to appear on his head as he was sent flying, flying into and destroying the cage before skidding on his wing a few more feet. "Sora!" Riku rushed over towards Sora as the ponies who were freed started to run for the city hall, where the supposed crystal heart was to be in a few minutes. Grunting a bit in anger, Riku started to slowly pick up Sora and put him on his back. Sora slowly grunted, trying to protest before Riku shook the injured pony on his back. "I am not leaving you behind." Sora weakly smiled at this as Riku started at a full charge towards the town hall, following the crystal ponies who were running there as well. As they started to get close, a barrier appeared between them and the other ponies, then a large darkside started to slowly rise up form the ground. Gritting his teeth a bit, Riku set down the damaged Sora and then turned to the darkside, starting to fight the giant beast on his own, not noticing what was happening past the barrier. The Mist had passed them and was slowly going towards the ponies, forming into a black unicorn, but then the unicorn stopped and went after a small, blue heart which a purple dragon as trying to get. Just as the thing was about to get the dragon and the heart, cadence swooped in and saved both of them, then the rest is pretty well known, the crystal ponies filled the heart with their light and soon the entire city was made out of light, banishing the heartless, the black stones, the black unicorn, and also turning all the ponies in the city into crystal ponies for a short time.
