Donald Duck, a court magician, walked beside his friend and captain of the royal guard, Goofy. They were on a mission to find their King who had mysteriously disappeared. He'd left a cryptic note explaining he was out to find the source of darkness that was causing worlds to blink out. Their only clue to the King's location was a "key" mentioned in the note.

Traverse down was the first stop I their journey. It was a quiet trade town with a mix of faces and species spread about doing various activities. They were searching for a man named Leon who might know where they could find the Key in question.

"Huh?" Goofy paused in his walk and stared up at the sky. "Donald look, a star is going out!"

"Oh no! We have to hurry Goofy, let's find Leon so he can tell us where to find that key!" Donald runs forward his flippers slipping along the stone ground Goofy hobbled after him pausing briefly to call for their dog Pluto.

"Come on, Pluto!"

Pluto though was on the trail of a different scent. His nose pressed to the ground and his tail twitches back and forth happily as he found the source of the scent. He sniffed and licked Sora's sleeping face, the girl stirring and groaning. Her vision blurred and managed to focus on Pluto's face. 

"What a dream..." She began to drift off but Pluto jumped on her chest shaking her awake and making her gasp. "This isn't a dream!" She stood up quickly wobbling a little and holding onto the wall rubbing her head making her grunt. "Ugh my head... where are we?" She looks down to Pluto and smiled softly. "Got any clue, buddy?"

As if taking an interest in something else Pluto's ear lifted and he hurried off leaving her there without an answer.

"Hey wait!" She ran after him, her eyes wandering a bit taking in the looks of the town around her. It was completely different than her little island, so bright even though it was night time. All the lights shined like mini suns and the people were too busy with their various activities to be friendly and wave as she ran by. She found a set of double doors that led into the second district, and padded them open. Her eyes scanned for Pluto, but instead of spotting a cute dog, she stumbled upon a man who had collapsed to the ground. His face was stricken with fear as his heart popped from his chest and covered in darkness. As the body disappeared the dark heart formed into one of those shadowy creatures. She gasped and backed away, her keyblade forming in her hand.

"Not here too!" Suddenly everything came rushing back at her... the fighting, the danger, the darkness! Panic raced through her mind and heart thinking of Riku and Kairi. She had to find her friends and make sure they were okay!

She ran and fought through the clusters of enemies that appeared, taking down the shadows that followed her. It was futile, as more and more just kept popping up in their place. She couldn't run fast enough or far enough. She went from district to district ducking through doors and climbing on roofs to get away.

She found herself back where she started, the heartless seemed to have quieted here. She quickly ducked into the accessory shop, and sat beside the fire to take a breather.

"What's going on?" She pulled her knees to her chest. "Why are they after me? How did I even end up here?" She held her head tying to remember the last events before waking up here, but all she could remember was Riku being swallowed up by the darkness and unable to reach for him. She vaguely remembered the weapon she held... the Keyblade is what the voices in her head had whispered to her. She stared at it now, admiring the shimmer and strength of it.

"It's just like the sword..." is this what her dreams had meant? She held the mightiest weapon of all... the keyblade. Determined to fight she got back to her feet and rushed out to meet them head on.
