Re: Fatal Memory (a KH fanfic)
Chapter One: Adgusting to the Ordinary (Note: this takes place directly after the KH2 ending)
Sora, Riku, and Kairi read the letter exitedly and hurriedly. Inside they knew that it could only be bad news, after all, why would the king have sent a letter just 2 days after they had last seen him? But at the same time, after all that they had experienced, it had been more than hard to continue life on Destiny Islands as if nothing had ever happened. They had been bored, longing for exitement, just like wehn they were building a raft to escape the island. It was nice, being with eachother again, but they couldn't just continue their lives after what they had been through. The letter read:
Dear Sora, Riku and Kairi
I hope you are doing well! I'm afraid that there is something that has been bothering me. Something that I have discovered. I'm going out to look for the answer, and I may not be back for a long time. Don't come and look for me, this is something that I have to take care of myself. Don't worry, It's nothing as big as Xemnas, or Xehanorts heartless, but it might be a threat. I stress
might be because the chances are that that it won't happen. No time to explain, I have to go. I know that you probably will come after me, but the world I am going to is nowhere you have been before, so theres no point trying to find me.
Yours sincerely, Mickey
"Oh" Riku said, sounding dissapointed.
"Surely he could use help. We've already proven ourselves more than enough times, and he can't do everything" He continued, sounding increasingly annoyed.
"Oh, Riku. There must be a reason for him telling us not to look for him. I'm sure it's nothing." Kairi exclamed, although she too, sounded ultimately dissapointed.
"So, what do we do?" Asked Sora, sounding eager to go on an adventure.
"We continue our lives" Replied Kairi plainly.
"Right, our completely normal lives." Said Riku. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a dark corridoor formed behind them. They all looked round and a single figure stepped out of the portal. It was Axel.
"Axel?" Sora exlaimed, surprised at what he saw. Roxas briscklystepped out of Sora's body, which took Sora by even more surprise.
"Hey, Roxas" Said Axel with a smile.
"Axel. I am remembering more and more about our time in the organization, like that time when you and me went to hunt 2 giant heartless in twilight town.Something about that day was unnormal, but I forgot. Anyway, I thought you were dead?" Roxas was speaking faster than usual, exited that his best friend was back. Maybe they could have ice cream together again.
"I needed the organization to think that. I mean, they were really out for my blood, right? Especially Saix. And Kairi. I promised myself I would apoligise to you, so... I'm sorry." Axel replied.
" It's okay!" Replied Kairi.
"You sure?" Asked Axel. He was surprised at this.
"Yeah, don't worry about it."
"Thanks."
"Why are you here?"Asked Riku.
"I wanted to see you all, let you know I'm not dead... OK, I'm here for another reason aswell-" He didn't get a chance to finish, because someone else said something. Not Sora, Riku, Karii, or Roxas though. It came from the secret place.
"Sora... Riku...And everyone else... You are the ones to blame. You stopped my work on multiple occasions. And now, you will die." Said a familiar voice.
"Oh, crap!" Axel said.
"This is what I tried to tell you- Xehanorts back!"
A figure appeared from nowhere, and he walked towards the group, holding something in his hand. It was indeed Xehanort. Before anyone could react, he through the object towards Roxas. It was spherical, silver and metalic, and something about it bursted with power. It landed on Roxas head, and stayed there, it somehow stuck to his head as if it had been glued on. It glowed, and Roxas started screaming in pain. Axel ran forward and yanked the device of his head. Immediately, Roxas collapsed, unconcious on the floor. Axel disintigrated the device with his fire powers, before kneeling down to help Roxas.
Sora and Riku charged towards Xehanort, and before Xehanort could react, they both struck, then Sora stabbed his keyblade through Xehanorts chest.
"That power... It's too great..." Xehanort gasped, and fell to the floor, already defeated.
Namine stepped out of Kairi and ran to Roxas' side.
"Roxas..." She said, caringly.
"He's not dead. Just unconcious, lets take him to that shack. Namine, can you heal him?" Axel asked.
"I don't know. I haven't had much experience outside of the memory field... But I can try. And he sould be okay anyway, that thing wasn't there to long..." Axel picked up Roxas and made his way towards the shack, the crowd following. Little did they know, this incident would create a problem that they couldn't imagine.
Hope you enjoyed that chapter. I'm trying to get it started quickly, so I can start writing the interesting bits. The main plot should begin next chapter. Also, I hope as this story goes along, you can find clues and figure out who the person in the prologue was.
