There is only... A new beginning. (Male reader/Oc x Kingdom-hearts 3)

Interval: 1.

On a rock within the secret forest, kairi sat on a rock by a nearby mountain ledge while writing a letter to her best friend, or who Trf calls her 'crush': sora on paper.

Kairi: '*writing in her letter* I'm sorry I left without saying good-bye. Did master yen-Sid tell you? I'm training to become a key-blade wielder like you. That's right. No more waiting for you to come back from your adventures. I want to get out there and do my part to help. Merlin has used his magic to bring us to a place where time doesn't matter. We can take as long as we need to complete our training, He's an amazing wizard. Oh, and by "us," I mean me and lea. He's really sorry for all the trouble he caused. I told him it's fine, but he won't stop apologising. I'll admit I was a little scared of him at first, but I've gotten to know him better. All he ever wanted was to help his friend. Honestly, it's hard not to like him. Every now and then, I catch him staring at me. When I ask what's wrong, he says, "I'm not sure, I think I'm forgetting something. Don't know what." , sora I think it may have something to do with you. Your journey is all about helping people: some that you've never met before, and some like Lea that you have. They're all counting on you. It won't be easy, but I hope you'll remain the happy and cheerful Sora I know. There's no heart your smile can't reach.'

Kairi then stops writing as she finally notices Lea watching her standing up from afar while coming closer.

Kairi: "What's wrong?" She said as Lea turns away.

Lea: "Nothin', sorry."

Kairi: "Lea."

Lea: "What? I am." He said honestly as Kairi giggles as lea sits down on a rock in front of her as she returns to writing.

Lea: "A letter?"

Kairi: "Yup."

Lea: "To Sora?"

Kairi: "Mmm, technically yes. But I won't send it. It's more for me."

Lea: "Ask Merlin. He'll deliver it for you."

Kairi: "Yeah, but it's okay. I just like talking to Sora, even if it's on paper." She said as he nodded.

Lea: "ahh, Okay." He said before he suddenly remembers something and pulls two ice cream bars out.

Lea: "Here."

Kairi: "Ice cream? Really?"

Lea: "Yeah, I asked Merlin to pick these up. Ya know, we did both summon Keyblades. Gotta celebrate."

Kairi: "You're sweet, Lea."

Lea: " heh, Naw..." he said a little embarrassed as kairi begins to eat her ice cream, before noticing lea beginning to stare at her again.

Kairi: "What?"

Lea: "N-nothing, I just..."

Kairi: "You're trying to remember what you forgot?" She said a little concerned.

Lea: "Well, I, uh... Yeah... Yeah." He said looking towards the setting sun.

Kairi: "So tomorrow—you and me in the ring. You ready?"

Lea: "'Course."

Kairi: "Don't hold back, Lea. Promise?" She said as lea turns to look at her, only to see the silhouette of someone he knew for a moment, dropping his ice cream as tears fell from his eyes.

Kairi: "Huh? Are you okay? Lea!" She said snapping him out of it as he realises what was happening around him.

Lea: "Yeah... Sorry..." He said wiping his eyes.

Kairi: "You're crying. What's wrong?"

Lea: "Something in my eyes."

Kairi: "Lea..." She said worried as he stood up.

Lea: "I'm... gonna go, Sorry." He Said as kairi then knew he needed some Time to think about something and accepted.

Kairi: "'Kay, but stop apologizing."

Lea: "Fine... on one condition."

Kairi: "What?" She said as he laughed a little.

Lea: "Call me Axel from now on. Got it memorised?"

Kairi: "Yeah, Okay, Axel." She said smiling a little along with him as he walked away leaving his ice cream on the grass.

In radiant garden, Mickey and Riku along with a man named dilan who was considered aeleus's best friend, who was now escorting them to where where Trf's trial, and his disappearance along with aqua and terra had was held at. After they walked down the stairs, dilan gestures them to carry on from here since he had to go back and guard ienzo and his research along with aeleus. They nod and dilan leaves them to it.

Mickey: "So, this is the place." He Said as they looked over radiant garden, where this all started.

Riku: "Where aqua and Trf fell into the realm of darkness after they dove in to save terra, just as Trf completed his trial in order to becoming a key-blade master."

Mickey: "Yeah, they said he was acting strange."

Riku: "Strange how, exactly?" He Said as mickey's expression saddened.

Mickey: "they sensed darkness in him, and aqua and terra ended up getting into a big fight during Trf's trial, Which led To the disaster happening and in turn, weakening Trf."

Riku: "Right. And in the aftermath, the three of them disappeared. Around the same time, the guards found a stranger with white hair lying unconscious here in the square—a man calling himself 'xehanort.'" He Said as they start to follow the clues on what organisation 13 is trying to do.

Mickey: "ansem the wise took the stranger in, but that was a mistake. Xehanort betrayed his master, stole his research, and along with his fellow apprentices, separated his heart from his body. Xehanort's heart took his master's name, ansem, who Trf now calls N.ansem to anger him, and traveled to the past to give his younger self instructions. He even briefly had control of you. His empty body stayed in the present, took the name xemnas, and founded organisation 13. Their goal was to prepare thirteen vessels for 's heart."

Riku: "Until we put an end to the Organization. But all the while Young Xehanort had been visiting the future to choose thirteen vessels of his own—hearts with strong enough ties to him to begin a new Organization, the 'Real' organisation 13. And now they're looking for a fight with us. But what happened to Terra? I thought you said that Aqua and Trf saved him?" He Said as he looked at Mickey who then looked serious and mad at himself for not noticing what was going on earlier.

Mickey: "Yep, they did. The problem is we didn't notice. You remember the end of the mark of mastery exam, when Master Xehanort made his grand return? That's the Xehanort I remember. He was already a pretty old man then. But how do you explain Ansem and Xemnas, his heartless and his nobody? Isn't it strange how young they look? Why aren't 'they' old men? It's because Xehanort was using a different body when the split happened. That face from the portrait I mentioned—it wasn't just some stranger that Ansem the Wise took under his wing. It was the young man whose body Master Xehanort possessed." He said shocking Riku as it now made sense.

Riku: "No way! That was Terra? Master Xehanort was using Terra?"

Mickey: "Yep. Master Xehanort told us 'another on our list' belonged to him. He was talking about Terra. Turns out, Aqua and Trf saved more than just their friend that day, even though Trf didn't exactly knew what was going on until after he became weakened since he just finished his trial." He said putting the facts together.

Riku: "Okay. But Master Xehanort's an old man again. Where did Terra's body go?" He Said causing mickey to think.

Mickey: "Hmm... *gasps* It's 'cause Master Xehanort's collecting vessels! He claimed he had two of our seven lights. We got Sora back, but Terra must still be on Xehanort's side."

Riku: "He's with Organization 13? We should warn Sora and master Trf."

Mickey: "Yep! And Merlin, too." He Said as Riku nodded.

Riku: "Yeah."
