Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Awakening

Chp. 1: The New Keybearers

A week had past since our heroes Sora, Riku, and Kairi had recieved a letter from King Mickey and they were at the islands helping Kairi learning how to use the keyblade since she only used it a little when they were at Organization 13's world, The World That Never Was.

"You're doing really good Kairi!" Sora told her.

"I am, just not very well, hehe."

"Don't worry Kairi, you'll get used to it, just like I did." Riku said.

Sora and Riku were taking turns training Kairi to use her keyblade, Floral Fallal.

As Riku was getting ready to train Kairi next, he noticed something falling from the sky.

"Riku?" Kairi asked him.

"Helllooo! Earth to Riku!" said Sora, trying to get his attention.

"Guys look up there."

Sora and Kairi looked up in the sky along with Riku and noticed three figures in the sky falling down, covered in blue flames. The falling beings crashed in the ocean and Sora, Riku, and Kairi all hurried to the water and swam to them and brought them to the shore.

The people that our heroes brought to shore were all boys. One had blonde hair and little spiky like Sora's, and the other two were twin brothers, one a brunette like Sora and another with black hair. Kairi checked each of them for a pulse.

"They're alive, just sleeping." Kairi told Sora and Riku.

"What do we do with them?" Sora asked.

"Yo! Sora, Riku, Kairi!" yelled a voice.

"Hey it's Wakka!" Sora exclaimed.

Their friends Tidus, Wakka, and Selphie walked up to them after just getting out of their boats.

"We noticed something falling from the sky coming near the islands and had to see what was up." Tidus said.

"Who are they?" Selphie asked.

"Not sure yet." Sora told them.

"Let's let them rest in the cabin and wait in the morning to see if they want to talk." Riku said.

The six friends heard some groaning coming from one the boys.

"Where am I?" the blonde said.

"Destiny Islands." Sora told him.

"I'm Sora by the way! These are my friends Riku, Kairi, Tidus, Wakka, and Selphie."

"I'm Steven, but you guys can call me Steve."

"Nice to meet you!" Riku said holding out his hand to him.

"Pleased to you meet you Riku." Steve said as he shook his hand.

"So tell us what happened to you and your friends." Kairi said.

"Well, where should I begin..." Steve said.

Steve told them all what happened.

"Whoa. Rough story." said Tidus.

"Yeah, I guess it is." Steve said.

"There is one thing I left out." And then he stood up, held out his arm and familiar weapon appeared in his hand.

"A keyblade?" Sora, Riku, and Kairi exclaimed.

"So that's what this is. Tim and Tylor also have one too."

The keyblade Steve had gave Riku a strange look. Riku stared at it long and hard.

"That keyblade..."

"What's wrong Riku?"

"It feels like I've seen this keyblade before, but I just can't remember. Oh well, it looks pretty cool doesn't Steve?"

"Yeah I guess it does." said Steve.

The keyblade Steve had was long. The handle was a light blue, while the whole keyblade was a tannish color.

"The keyblade Tylor had was different from mine. The handle on his is on the left side, while the blade edge is on the right."

"That's cool, so what about Tim's?" Sora asked Steve.

"His was a little bit of gray and blue, his handle was seperated, unlike mine and Tylor's. As for the teeth, it was-"

"Jutted out in a rounded fashion?" Kairi said to him.

"Yeah! Hey, how did you know that?"

"I don't know, but it sounds so familiar." Kairi said.

Just then, Tylor began to wake up.

"Owww..man those black creatures can really pack a punch!" Tylor said.

As he opened his eyes the first thing he saw was Sora.

"AHHH!" Tylor yelled, as he punched Sora in the face.

"OW!" Sora said as he fell.

The others couldn't help but laugh at Sora.

"It's not funny!" Sora yelled.

"Actually, it kind of is!" Tylor said laughing.

"Sorry about that. I'm Tylor by the way."

"I'm Sora. These are my friends Riku, Kairi, Tidus, Wakka, and Selphie."

"Welcome to Destiny Islands brudda!" Wakka said.

"Destiny Islands? Pretty cool name." Tylor said.

"It does sound cool" Steve said. "Glad to see you're alright Steve."

"Same here Tylor. How's Tim doing?"

"He's just sleeping." Tylor said.

Riku then saw something black on Tim's arm.

"What's that on his arm Tylor?"Riku asked him.

"Oh that. One of those black creatures attacked him, left that, and knocked him out." Tylor said. "Those black creatures you're talking about are called the Heartless." Sora told Tylor.

Sora told Steve and Tylor all about the Heartless and what they do.

"Wow." Steve said.

"Those guys are a threat to the world order." Kairi said.

"World order?" Tylor asked her.

Riku then told them about the world order and its rules.

"Rules? Man I hate rules!" Tylor said.

"Tylor is kind of a rule-breaker." Steve told them.

"You're not the only one. The boys are kind of rule-breakers too." Selphie said.

"Welcome to the club!" The boys said holding up a banner with a picture of them on it.

Riku was still looking at Tim's wound. Although Riku's dark powers were gone, he was still able to sense the darkness in people.

"He has darkness inside of him you guys." Riku told Sora and Kairi.

"How does he have darkness in him?" Steve asked Riku.

Riku told Steve and Tylor about how he got darkness in his heart and it made him fight his brest friend.

"Wow. You had it pretty rough Riku." Steve said.

"Yeah, even though I defeated Xehanort's Heartless, I can still feel him inside me. Sora, if he tries to take me over again, you know what to do."

"I understand Riku." Sora said.

Night was fastly approching and Steve and Tylor wanted to sleep in the cabin with Tim. Sora, Riku, and the others went to their boats and made their way home, where the next morning would be the start of a new adventure for our heroes.
