If it were up to me..... ~ My Kingdom Hearts 3 ~ REPOST

The Dark Islands

The islands were dark, not unlike the day they had fallen into darkness years ago.

But it was calmer, no storm. Just dark.

Sora stood on the beach of the smaller island. Why? He wasn't quite sure. To him, everything felt...off.

"The Key to Return Hearts has the answer."

The voice was deep and familiar, but Sora couldn't place it. He spun around, searching for the source.

"She grows stronger... we must act quickly."

Who's this 'she' that's growing stronger? He wondered. Kairi?

"Only her powers will wake the boy. We need those powers."

Heartless begun popping up on the sand, slithering closer to the keyblade wielder. He didn't notice, still searching for the voice.

"Once she's helped us fill our thirteenth seat... We can create the X-blade once again."

Sora's eyes widened. He knew only one person who wanted to create the X-blade again. Heh, that person had tried making him into the thirteenth vessel.

A Neoshadow pounced on his back. In a second, Sora had summoned his keyblade and was slashing through the heartless defeating all that came near him. The sheer number of them was almost overwhelming, but he carried on.

"It'll never work like that."

Sora jolted at the new voice. Where were the people who went with these voices?

The clouds parted above his head, giving him a small moment of piece. Around him there remained heartless, but he was in a small circle where the sky was blue, the water was clear, and the beach was golden-brown.

On the sands lay a keyblade. He stooped to pick the weapon up, turning it to examine it. It was very simple, a red and grey design with the Mark of Mastery as the keychain.

"I can't hold them off forever, you know. Fight!"

"What?" He asked out loud.

The circle of tranquility vanished, leaving Sora once more against the heartless, but this time with two keyblades in hand.

"You can't stay on the beach, they'll just keep coming. Jeez, don't you know some strategy? You need some higher ground, Sora."

He swiped through another five heartless. "But who are you?"

"It doesn't matter right now! You need to make a path out of there!"

He cut down a few more waves,  then vaulted over some, then broke away to run up the planks that led to the paopu tree platform. The heartless followed him, but he pushed them back.

A stream of light came from the sky, vaporizing the remaining heartless Sora hadn't gotten. Destiny Islands returned to normal, save for Sora standing with his two keyblades and the figure behind him.

"Didn't I tell you higher turf had it's benefits?"

Sora turned to them. "Thanks, but... who are you?"

The figure smiled. "What a good question..."

Sora took a stumbling step forward, then fell to his knees. The fight had drained him.

"You alright?"

"Why am I.... so... tired?" He grunted, trying to pull himself together. He caught sight of the gloved hand extended, offering assistance.

As he reached for it, he realized he still hadn't seen his saviour's face. When he looked, he blinked in confusion.

The face changed between Riku, Kairi, Roxas, Namine, Axel/Lea, the black haired girl he still didn't know the name of, even Xehanort and himself.

Finally it settled on the smiling face of a dark-haired girl.

"Time to get up."

A/N

What can I say? I integrated part of the E3 trailer (if you caught Master Eraqus's keyblade) so I AM making an attempt to make things as probable as possible. The keyblade is on the side!

But come on, this is KH. Everything is possible, because nothing makes sense! ^-^
