The Keyblade of the Fox

Sora opened his eyes slowly. A familiar feeling washed over him. His hand came up and touched the area over his heart. Something was amiss and he couldn't place why. Getting up he swung his legs over the side of his bed and sat there contemplating his life wondering what could be in store for him. With a heavy sigh he moved away from his bed. A heavy thump resonated through his wall and a low moan followed it. His two best friends were at it again. The first time that happened it startled him. It still hurt a bit, but he kept up the happy façade knowing that if that's what made them happy then he was happy as well. One day he hoped that he'd find someone that would love him just as much. As he moved down the hall towards the kitchen he saw a familiar yellow dog holding a familiar sealed letter. He took the letter from Pluto and opened the letter to see what the King wanted him to do. For a moment he wondered how the letter didn't have drool all over it but he dismissed it as soon as it came.

'Sora, you're presence is needed urgently. I'll explain when you get here. King Mickey'

Sighing for the hundredth time in the span of a short time he retreated to his room and took out his familiar black gear. With practiced ease he slipped into it. (Kingdom Hearts II outfit of course) Even if it had been three years he still loved this outfit. The magic the three good fairies put on it still worked and it was as if the outfit grew with him. Nervously he ran his fingers through his spiky brown locks. Sighing again he followed the dog into a familiar black portal. He soon found himself in familiar grand halls. A familiar face greeted him.

"Welcome back Sora," Queen Minnie said softly.

He bowed his head respectfully towards the Queen.

"You're Majesty the King has summoned me."

"I know," she said quietly. "Come. They are waiting for you in the gardens."

She led the way even though he knew how to get there himself. Mickey was standing with Donald and Goofy at his side. Their faces were serious as they spoke.

"Mickey, Sora is here," she called out to her husband.

Sora bowed respectfully towards the King.

"You wished to see me King Mickey?"

"You didn't bring Riku and Kairi with you?"

"They were busy and I didn't want to disturb them," Sora said sadly.

Mickey understood what he was talking about. "I thought it best to leave them there and come alone."

"Did you tell them you were coming?"

"No," he said quietly.

"Let's sit and I'll tell you what has happened."

He sat down gracefully. Sometime ago he had lost that child's awkwardness and gained at least some grace. With an intent look on his face he listened to what the King had to say. "Do you understand what it is that needs to be done?"

"So I need to rescue this informant of yours from Hades?"

"Yes, and hurry I've heard rumors that aren't good about what has happened to my informant."

"Yes, Majesty. You two coming with me?"

He threw Donald and Goofy a childish grin as he looked at him.

"Are you kidding?" Donald asked playfully.

"I'm in," Goofy said.

"Be quick the three of you."

"We will."

The three boarded the Gummi ship and headed towards Mt. Olympus.
