Klein: Alright everyone. "Claps his hands to get everyone's attention" Listen up!! "Everyone looks at him" As the host of this bodacious party, I'd like to congratulate you all on completing the first world of Kingdom Hearts Online. "Raises his glass" Let's keep this going until we reach our goal in the game!!

Everyone: "They all raise their glasses in the air as well" YEAH!!








It's been days since the game's release and so far, the new VR is a complete hit!! The game is on every news, website, and even has a collector's edition of all it's previous titles too. To celebrate the completion of the game's first world, Klein decided to hold a party at Agil's shop and invite as many KHO players as possible, including you and the others as well.








You: Have to be honest, I've never seen this many VR players in one place before.

Thinker: You can say that again.

Asuna: "Walks up to you and gives you a glass of ice tea" Here you go.

You: "You smile and take the glass" Thanks Asuna. "You drink and the lass sits next to you"

Asuna: You know. "She catches you and Thinker's attention" This party kinda reminds me of the one we had after SAO was cleared. Don't you think?

Thinker: Now that you mention it, this really does feel similar.

You: "You look at Asuna and see her change of mood after mentioning the SAO clearance party" Asuna?






"Doesn't say anything"





You: Hey. "You snap your fingers and she snaps back to reality" You alright? It looked like you spaced out.

Asuna: I'm fine (M/n), really. Just, had a flashback I didn't want to see that's all.

You: If you say so. "Asuna takes a sip of her ice tea"









Ever since you defeated Kirito to keep Asuna safe, the breakup between them really put a dent on her. Whenever she remembers something she did with The Black Swordsman, the young lass would sometimes space out in sadness. But luckily though, she's slowly getting over it thanks to you.








"You phone rings"




You: "You pick it up and open it" Oh, a text message.

Asuna: Who is it from?

You: "You look at it and you realize who it's from" From Retro Future Corporation.

Thinker: Really!? What does it say?

You: "You read what it says" It's a list.

Asuna: Of what?

You: Of all the worlds in KHO.

Asuna: "Her phone rings and she notices" Hm? "She picks it up, opens the message, and is shocked at what she received" No way!! I got the same message too!!

You: What!?

Thinker: "Looks at the message in his phone" Me too!!








Then, when you looked at the others, they too received the same message as you three did. You weren't sure why the corporation would send a list of all the worlds in KHO to all the game's players, but you decided to brush it off.









You: "You look back at the message" So, the next arc we'll be playing is called "Tropical Paradise" huh?

Asuna: What do you think it means?

You: Other than a possible tropics-based world, I don't know. But there is one way to find out. And that, would be playing it.

The next day, after school....

(Inside Kingdom Hearts Online)









"You, Asuna, Yulier, and Thinker spawn in the next world"








Asuna: "Looks at the beautiful environment" WOW!! It's so pretty!!

Yulier: This kind of scenery reminds me a lot of Hawaii.

Thinker: That's probably what inspired this world's design.

You: We can enjoy the moment later. "They all look at you" Remember, the Heartless are on a never-ending assault in search of the world's Heart. They take it, this world is doomed. "You turn to them" You guys ready?

All of them: Ready.

You: Then lets move out.








With that said and done, you and the rest of your friends journeyed through this new world your in to ensure it's safety from the evil Heartless.
__________________________________________________________________________________________
Later.....









A few hours have passed(In-game) now and you still haven't seen any Heartless or the Keyhole to the world's Heart yet. Then, way in the distance, you saw a small pillar of smoke behind some vegetation, so you and the others went towards it to investigate.









"You all arrive at the source and were amazed and shocked at what it is"







Thinker: Woah, it's a spaceship.

You: "You go closer to it and check the cockpit" No ones inside, looks like this baby's been abandoned after it crash landed.

Yulier: I wonder why something like this would be in the middle of nowhere.

Asuna: Whatever the reason is, I'm sure we'll figure it out soon.

You: Yeah. "The others turn to you" Asuna, you and I will salvage the ship and search for clues. "You look to the married couple" Think you guys can do some recon?

Thinker: Sure thing.

Yulier: If we're ever in trouble, I'll shoot a fireball in the air to notify you two.

You: Sounds like a plan.

Thinker: "Yulier turns around and walks away from the ship" Stay safe you guys. "Follows his wife"

You: "You turn to Asuna" Well, let's get to it.









You, Asuna, and Yui looked all over the ship for clues. Top to bottom, left and right, you three made sure not to leave any stop untouched. While you were looking, you decided to take out some of the ship's cargo to inspect them a bit.









"You put down the last piece of cargo on the ground"






You: Whew!! That's a lot of cargo for just a small ship. "You look back at Asuna and Yui" Anything yet girls?

Asuna: Nope.

Yui: Nothing yet I'm afraid.

You: "You sigh and sit down to rest" There's got to be a reason on why we're here. We can't just be here for no reason. "You open your menu and bring out a small bread stick to eat" Something familiar about this place though.

Asuna: Really? What is it?

You: I don't know, I feel like...."You summon Oathkeeper and point it at a small blue creature behind you" Like we're being watched.

Asuna: "She and Yui stop looking through the ship and see what's going on" What in the name of?

????: "Looks at you with an angered face" GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. "Sees what your holding in your hand" Hm?

Yui: "She and Asuna walk towards you" Daddy, what is that thing?

You: Stay back you two, I don't want you to get hurt.

????: "Looks at you" Ven?

You: "You lower your guard after hearing what it said" Huh? You can talk?

????: Ven, Isa you?

Asuna: Why is that thing calling you Ven?

You: I don't know. "You put away your keyblades" Who are you?

Stitch: Stitch. My, name, is, Stitch.
