The Story Starts! Three days away, and I decided to set up a prologue of what is to come. For those who haven't seen the ending of Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Fragmentary Passage, you might want to make sure to see that before you see this.

Now, as for how this schedule is gonna set up. Kingdom Hearts III is ready to download onto my PS4, and while there are circulations on leaks from the game recently, I have not seen ANYTHING! The only thing I have seen is the cinematic intro at its' fullest, but that's it! I don't want spoilers, apart from what I already have seen. So I will personally play the game, get the understanding of the story through it, then place it in the form for SAKIII. So just because I get it on that day doesn't mean stories will immediately come out right after. I have also long work days, my nephew is visiting this coming week, and other things. But THIS SERIES WILL TRY TO BE POSTED AS MUCH AS I CAN! Do not fret! For now, enjoy reading the Prologue to the new series coming soon:

Sword Art Kingdom III

Mysterious Tower

"Okay! Start talking!"

"You were gone a long time. What were ya doin'?"

"Hehe... Secret."

Inside his office, the former Keyblade Master and teacher to King Mickey, Yen Sid, had just turned away from the window near his desk, hearing the three voices of Donald, Goofy and Sora, respectively, outside of the door to his study. He had just recently said farewell to three others who left him, that being Riku, Mickey, and Kairi. Riku and Mickey were on their way, searching for an entrance to the Realm of Darkness, to search for Aqua, while Kairi was on her way to meet with Lea, also known as Axel, and train alongside him in the art of wielding the Keyblade. He knew Sora and his companions would arrive soon, along with three others that a fellow Keyblade Master, Gretinal, had just sent.

The wooden door swung open abruptly by Sora, the spiky-haired teen boy, declaring, "I'm back!" Donald and Goofy, his trusted comrades and friends, stood behind him with grins on their faces, as well. However, Sora's smile fell to a confused expression when he saw no one else other that Yen Sid sitting there in the room. He had hoped to see at least Riku and Kairi there, along with King Mickey.

"Just us?" Sora asked as he entered in, with Donald closing the door behind them.

"The others all had important work to do. So I sent them on their way." Yen Sid explained.

"That's great. They coulda said good-bye." Sora grumbled, irritated that they left without saying a word.

"It's your fault you missed them!" Donald scolded him.

"It is not!" Sora defended, "I just like to say good-bye to all my friends."

"Then do it faster!" Donald squawked.

Sora got in the duck's face as he retorted, "I'm here now, right?"

"Honestly..." said a familiar young lady's voice behind the door, "We leave you alone for a short while, and you two still haven't stopped arguing..."

Donald and Sora looked to the door, and beamed in excitement as Goofy opened it up. There, standing at the door, was their three other companions; Kirito, Asuna, and Yui, all in new garments that Gretinal gave them before they left. Kirito, the black, messy-haired young man, was right next to his girlfriend Asuna, the beautiful young lady with long hazel hair. Their adoptive daughter and former Mental Health Counseling Program, Yui, was peering around her mother, waving at them.

"Kirito, Asuna, Yui!" Sora greeted happily, racing up to them.

"Still in high spirits, I see." Kirito stated with a smirk, fist-bumping with Sora.

"Hey, are those new garments you're wearin'?" Goofy asked, seeing the team enter into the room.

"Yeah, they are." Asuna answered, placing a fist on her hip, "Mistress Gretinal gave us these before we left. They're to help us in our future battles."

"Mine is very special, as I can stay this size even in this dimension." Yui stated, doing a twirl between Doanld and Goofy to show off her new garments, her sash fluttering out as she did so.

"They look awesome!" Sora exclaimed, looking down at his garment "I hope to get some new clothes, too."

"I think yours looks okay as it is." Kirito stated.

"You're just saying that because it's mostly black." Asuna giggled. Kirito wanted to retort to this, but realized that she had a point.

"We have matters to discuss." Yen Sid interrupted the reunion, getting the attention of the team. They gathered in a straight line, standing straight at attention. "Gretinal and I have been speaking to one another on what our next plans should be. In order to defeat Xehanort, there are allies we must gather, acting now to rouse them from their slumber. We have discussed this before." The team nodded in response.

"The Mark of Mastery exam was conducted in the hopes you would acquire the power to wake them. While Kirito and Asuna were able to obtained such powers, the darkness nearly took control of you, and your grasp of our new abilities leaves much to be desired." Sora looked crestfallen at this, while the others looked sadly at the truth of the matter.

"Furthermore, Xehanort nearly made you and Leafa his vessel, and in the process stripped you of most of the power you had gained by then. I suspect you have already noticed this, correct?"

Yen Sid's words hurt Sora a bit, while Kirito looked down, thinking on his cousin. He was worried about how she was handling all of this, but knew that she was not one to be down in the dumps forever. She always did find a way to get back onto her feet. Asuna looked to Kirito, knowing who he was thinking about.

"Sora..." Donald, Goofy and Yui muttered, looking worried as Sora.

For a moment, it seemed like Sora was down in the dumps, as well. However, he smiled and gave a huff as he placed his hands on his hips as he replied, "Whatever! Happens all the time."

Kirito and Asuna looked to him with a smile. Leafa wasn't the only one to have a way to get back onto their feet again. Then again, according to Gretinal and Berthonda, Leafa and Sora were technically dimensional counterparts, so they had similarities.

"Yes..." Yen Sid understood, "Kayaba, Chip and Dale are currently analyzing data that Ansem the Wise provided to Riku, and which could offer us a clue to retrieving our friends' lost hearts. I have very high hopes for this data. However, our greatest chance of stopping Xehanort's plan still lies with the three of you, Sora, Asuna, and Kirito." The trio looked to one another, recognizing the fact that they are being depended on quite a bit for the final battle.

"If the three of you trust the guidances your hearts give, I know we will find all of the guardians of light." The old wizard continued, "But first, Sora, you must regain all the strength you have lost. Perhaps it is foolish to expect a complete recovery, but it is absolutely vital you perfect one power; the power of waking, which you failed to master during your exam. There's someone who lost his strength and found it again, a 'true hero' to whom you ought to pay a visit. Perhaps he can point you in the right direction."

Sora, Asuna and Kirito all understood who this 'true hero' was, as this title was only told about in one world they went to long ago. Sora then ended up performing a couple of muscular poses, flexing his arms as Yen Sid finished. The others looked quite bewildered at why he was doing this, with Asuna shaking her head at his childish demeanor, while Kirito rolled his eyes, and Yui looked confused. Finally, after fooling around, Sora replied, "Got it!", as he saluted Yen Sid.

"Master Yen Sid..." Donald started.

"...You can count on us to take care of Sora, Kirito and Asuna!" Goofy followed up.

"And I'll make sure everyone's moods are at the peak of happiness!" Yui added, pumping her fists with determination.

"I would have it no other way." Yen Sid responded, "I put them in your hands."

Sora looked to his friends on either side of him as he chuckled, "You guys!" He pulled them all in close, stretching his arms as far as he could so he could embrace them all in a group hug.

"Together again, for another adventure!" Yui cheered, happy for the six of them together.

"You can't become a master without us!" Donald pointed out to Sora, getting a confused look from the said young boy.

"I never woulda thought you'd fail that exam, Sora." Goofy added.

"Hey!" Sora barked pulling himself out of the group hug, "I'm not the only one. Kirito didn't pass either!"

"Well... yeah, that's true." The black swordsman agreed, rubbing the back of his head, slightly embarrassed.

"Face it, Sora. You're the half-pint out of us." Donald insulted.

"But the six of us together make a whole pint." Goofy followed up.

"That's three pints!" Sora corrected.

"Glad your math is still good..." Asuna said in an amused tone.

"Was that a jab?!" Sora asked her, but she feigned ignorance.

"Still, Goofy's right." Yui interrupted the argument, "With the six of us together, we can take on anything!"

"And don't forget, we'll keep an eye on all of you." Donald told the Keyblade wielders, raisin a feathered hand and placing in the middle of the half-circle formation they were in. Yui saw it, stepped forward, and placed her hand onto Donald's, knowing what was happening, as it happened twice before.

"Oh, this is gonna be lots of fun!" Goofy giggled, placing his hand on Yui's.

"It's not a vacation!" Sora retorted.

"True, but with you around, it might as well be a fun adventure." Asuna stated, placing her hand onto Goofy's.

Kirito chuckled as he walked forward, placing his hand on Asuna's as he followed, "Fun or not, I know we'll be able to accomplish it, find all our friends, and stop Organization XVI. So, you ready for one more adventure, Sora?"

Sora looked to his close friends, smiled and nodded, then placed his hand on top of the pile, declaring, "Let's go!"

The six all turned to Yen Sid as they saluted to him, declaring, "Count on us!" Yen Sid nodded in response. With that, they raced out the door together, heading off to their next big adventure.

When they got outside the tower, Sora saw something near them that was hovering over the ridge of the floating island they were on. It was the Gummi Ship that Kirito, Asuna and Yui had come on before, given to them by Gretinal herself. It was three times bigger than a standard jet used by the air force.

"Whoa! Where did that come from?!" Sora asked.

"That's the ship Gretinal gave us; the Swiftline." Kirito explained, "She told us it was made for dimensional travels, meaning it can work in either one of our dimensions."

"But what about our Gummi ship?" Donald asked.

"This one has several more things that our old ship didn't have." Kirito explained, "Come inside, and see." Yui activated the door with a controller she had on hand, and they entered inside the ship. They entered into the cockpit, and found it wider and more spacious than what it was on the outside, all thanks to Gretinal's magic. There were similarities to it compared to the former Gummi Ship. There were two control panels, with a chair to each of them. The other four seat were surrounded by an arch railway. Behind that was another door that led to the room behind.

"Whoa!" Sora, Donald and Goofy gasped, seeing the interior.

"You haven't seen anything yet." Asuna stated, walking to the back door, with the large control panel next to it. She started tapping away on it, then activated something. The ridges around the door glowed, and slid open. They all peered inside to reveal a larger room than the control room. It was open and spacious, and it looked quite a bit like a dojo of sorts.

"Cool!" Sora gasped, walking into the place, "Our Gummi ship didn't have this!"

"It's designed for all our needs, actually." Yui explained, "This room is for training sessions if we want to spar."

"But there's more than that." Asuna pointed out, "Come out here and see."

Sora exited the room, and Asuna slid the automatic doors shut. She tapped a few more buttons on the digital panel, and after another glow, the door slid open again, and the room changed in size and design, becoming a standard kitchen.

"Wow!" Goofy gasped.

"Is this magic?!" Donald asked in amazement.

"Gretinal said that she and her friends poured their magic and tech know-how into this." Yui explained, "It can change on depending on what we need. There's not only a dojo and a kitchen, but also sleeping quarters, a meeting room, storage closet, a bathroom, a dance studio, and even a karaoke room!"

"Why we would need those last two, I have no idea..." Kirito muttered with a sweat-dropped expression.

"Oh, who doesn't like a bit of karaoke?" Goofy questioned, "I love ta sing and dance. You should've seen me at the disco!"

"I haven't sung as much since my time as one of the Three Caballeros." Donald recalled.

"Still, let's not spend too much time exploring now, and head off to where we're suppose to go." Sora stated, getting into one of the seats controlling the ship, and looked about to see how it worked.

"Uh, Sora? You'd better step back and let Donald and Yui take the controls." Asuna told the young Keyblade wielder, "I'd rather not crash this after how much faith Gretinal had in us taking care of it."

Despite his arguments, Sora gave up and let the two shortest characters in their team take the controls of the ship, while the other four sat in the other chairs. They rode the ship out, flying into space, ready to make their way to where they needed to go. After they left the world far behind, and were drifting along aimlessly through empty space, Sora asked the one question on everyone's minds.

"How're we supposed to get there now?" Sora asked.

"What?! I thought you knew!" Donald exclaimed.

"We only came to Yen Sid's tower because Gretinal helped guide us there." Kirito explained, "As for where we go from here... I don't know."

"Looks like all the old highways are closed." Goofy pointed out, "Didn't Master Yen Sid say that Sora, Kirito and Asuna should trust the guidance their hearts give?"

"C'mon, you guys. Which way?" Donald pleaded to the trio. He watched the trio as they were lost in thought, trying to figure it out. However, they had nothing to show there was a solution.

"Mama, didn't Mistress Gretinal tell you anything?" Yui asked.

"Yeah! Like some sort of secret thing only Keyblade Masters can do." Sora assumed, looking at her in hope.

"I'm only a Keyblade Master by title. It doesn't give me any extra powers." Asuna explained, "Still, though, even with the title, I am not sure if I am truly up to the task of truly having it, yet..."

"But you and Riku did better than the rest of us, that's for sure." Kirito acknowledged, "I'm sure you'll come to terms with that title, eventually." Asuna smiled in appreciation for Kirito's faith in her.

"Hey, would you guys get serious?" Donald grumbled, cutting off the scene between the two. Realizing they were getting off topic, they went back to thinking again.

"Well, since we've already been there before, why don't you try picturin' our friends like we're there?" Goofy suggested.

Sora stood up and paced over to the middle of their group, pumping his fists like a bodybuilder, hoping something would happen.

"Well?" Donald asked.

"Sorry, I got nothin'. What did you expect?" Donald moaned in despair at these words.

"Anyone else got any more bright ideas?" Asuna asked, looking to Kirito, who shook his head, not having one.

"Actually, while you guys were taking your exam, I was taught a saying if I didn't know what to do." Yui told the others, "Gretinal told it to me. She said, 'when all else fails, may your heart be your guiding key'."

"May your heart... be your guiding key?" Asuna echoed.

"Oh, yeah! Master Yen Sid said that to us, too." Goofy recalled, "Right before we set of on any of our real important adventures!"

"Really?" Sora asked, looking to Donald, "Ring a bell?" Donald shook his head at this.

"Maybe I was imaginin' it..." Goofy muttered, scratching his head.

"May your heard be your guiding key..." Kirito muttered, thinking on the phrase. Suddenly, as if by sheer coincidence, he, Sora and Asuna all were sparked with inspiration. They looked to one another, realizing they all had the same idea, and they all raced in between Donald and Yui, pulling out their Keyblades; the Kingdom Key, the Elucidator, and the Lambent Light. They raised the points ahead of them, and concentrated. Sure enough, the Keyblades shined at their tips. In the space in front of them, a swirling vortex of magic energy formed, creating a portal.

"It's a gate!" Donald, Goofy and Yui exclaimed.

"Alright!" Sora cheered.

"That actually worked!" Asuna stated in slight amazement.

Kirito turned to Yui and ordered, "Set our coordinates. You know where to go?"

"Right!" Yui responded, tapping on the keyboard, "Setting a course to the Olympus Coliseum!" Donald guided the ship forward, and sent them into the portal, which vanished behind them, disappearing from view.

Their next adventure, full of trials and tribulations, was about to begin

(Insert 'Adamas Amalee ver.', TV version)

Music intro

(Rushing through black darkness, glittering shards of light pass by. As music starts, the three main Keyblades suddenly shoot forward like shooting stars, circling around from a distance, then crossing one another, shining brightly, forming the logo of the series.)

I'm trying to understand it but it's making me numb

(Left half of Sora's serious face, the other half hidden by the teeth of his Kingdom Key.)

This swirl of karma leaving such a bitter taste on my tongue

(Right half of Asuna's determined face, the other half hidden by the Lambent Light's teeth.)

'Cause I know the pain and sorrow, it has only begun

(The upper half of Kirito's face, with glaring eyes, the lower half hidden by the Elucidator's teeth.)

Who-o-oa, Who-o-oa, Who-o-oa

(Flashing through the faces of each hero; Donald, Goofy, Yui, Mickey, Riku, Leafa, Kairi, Axel, and Kayaba.)

Now I'm surrounded by my enemies, but luck's on my side

(In the dusty fields of the Keyblade Graveyard, the camera pans around the circle of the six main heroes as they ready their weapons.)

So I shatter through the walls and change the course of the tide

(In the same field, the camera pans the opposite way around the six other heroes as they ready their weapons.)

Can't stop this surging fate like a volcano set to break, Take a breath until you're set to

(Allies of the multiple worlds they will or have visited pan across the screen, finally ending with the silhouettes of the four Lost Princesses of heart, with the one in the center opening her hands to reveal a bright light.)

face that voice of fear. That god of death that's always looking down on you

(Philia stands on a lone green hill, staring at a card with the picture of Castle Oblivion on it. She feels a hand behind her, and looks to see Flair and Hinata standing behind her, giving assuring smiles, with Tinkerbell coming out of her pocket, and Samson giving a thumbs up.)

"Do you believe yourself?" I won't stop til I've won

(Maleficent and Dr. Temna stand together, with Pete and Tears next to them, and a swarm of Heartless and shadowed foes ready to strike.)

A glimpse of that bright future that's just begun!

(Xehanort's maliciously smirking face appears, as he and fifteen others float together in a circle. Screen splits in half as half of Heartless Oberon and Gouxus take the screen, their eyes shining from yellow to violet.)

Shining like a diamond, The emotions in your heart reflect like crystal

(The six heroes team up together, taking down Heartless, Nobodies and Unversed that come across their path with their weapons, skills and magic.)

As we vow an oath that will ignite your light and mine - And we will rise!

(A Demon Tower nearly falls on top of the six, but they get away, with Kirito, Asuna and Sora in the air, performing Soul Bursts and Keyblade transformation, creating Cloud's Buster Sword, Asuna's SAO Lambent Light, and Sora's twin guns, unleashing a sword beam, ice spears, and magic shots as one.)

So many times I've gotten back on my feet to make it to this moment

(A group of dark energy orbs shoots down the trio from a cliff above, hitting them into the ground. The attack comes from Xehanort, Heartless Oberon, and Gouxus.)

It's time our prayer that's waiting in the dark. Is set free so light the spark and let it shine!

(Sora, Asuna and Kirito get back up on their feet, shaking off their injuries, and raising their Keyblades as they charge forward, beams of sunlight shining upon each of them as they all take a leap at the Organization XVI, with their three friends, the other six heroes, including Philia and her team, Roxas, Xion, Recon, Terra, Aqua and Ven, joining them from behind.)

Song ends.
