Chapter 1: Falling Stones

"King Zack. I have grave news."

"Oh come on. It can't be that bad. Your voice makes it sound like Sephiroth's back!"

"Sir. This is no laughing matter. Our castle is being attacked."

"I see." he said as his eyes narrowed.

"What should I do, Sir?"

"Franz, you are still in training. Call Seth here. I need to talk to you two."

"Yes, Sir? Why have you called me here. I was preparing to attack the enemy."

"Lay down your forces. I have to have a word with their leader. You two," he glanced at Franz, then looked back at Seth, "collect everybody else and get out. You have to surrender as well. I will wait here for their leader. And Franz?"

"Yes, Sir?"

"You know how Sora will react. Take these." he said, handing Franz two pairs of handcuffs.

"Why two, Sir?"

"One to bind wrists. The other around one of your wrists and the chain of the other. Leave now. And tell Aeris... I love her."

"Yes Sir. Franz, go alert everybody else. They should be in Sora's bedroom. I will surrender and meet you there."

"Yes Seth."

"GO NOW AND PROTECT MY SON, YOU ASSHOLES!" Zack screamed at the top of his lungs.

"Yes, Sir!" Franz and Seth said at the same time, going off to their assigned places.

Zack picked up his family photo.

"Sora... Aeris..."

"Sora."

"Yeah, Franz?" Sora said, turning around.

"Sorry, but this is for your own good." Franz said, handcuffing Sora, and handcuffing Sora to himself.

"Franz? What's happening? And where's dad?"

"Kairi. Naminé. Roxas. Riku. Aeris. Cloud. Tifa. Tidus. Selphie. You're all here, right?" Franz said, still gasping his words.

"Yes." they all responded in non-unison.

"The castle... Is under siege..."

"What!" Kairi exclaimed.

At that moment, Seth rode in, grabbed Sora, put him on his horse, and told everyone the plan.

"OK, let's go then." Aeris said calmly. She used her magic to create a force field. Sora got free from Seth and tried to go to his dad, but got smacked by the force field. He willingly got back on Seth's horse.

"OK, here's the secret exit." she said while guiding them through.

Once everyone was out, they ran towards Wellspring Falls, up to the east.

"OK, next stop, Wellspring Falls." Riku said confidently.

"You are a sick bastard. You use your power to destroy kingdoms. We used to be best friends..." Zack said calmly, like Aeris had taught him.

"Yes, but those times are over."

Zack found a spear pointed at his heart. He somehow fought back what little was holding him back and pushed a button,causing another button to come up.

"I get what you're trying to say. You're going to try to kill me and use Kingdom Hearts to destroy the world. Well, if I die here, if my story ends here, then so. Does. Yours." he said, finally pushing the button. Little did the intruder know what it actually did.

Author's Notes: Gasp! What does the button do?! What's going to happen to Sora?! Any questions, comments, or concerns? Please review, this is going to be a novella. Also, still looking for that Beta!
