Even If You're In the Deepest Darkness, I'll Be Your Light

The Key of the Stars

My Pov

I hurried to where Riku was. He was standing still and facing toward the Main Island.

Me: "Riku! We need to get out of here!"

Riku: "The door has opened..."

Me: "What are you talking about?"

Riku: "The door has opened, Hikari! Now we can go to the outside world!"

Me: "What? Riku, we need to get Sora and Kairi and get back to the Main Island!"

Riku: "Kairi and Sora are coming with us!" What was happening? Riku looked up to the black sphere that was hovering over the island. "Once we step through, we might not be able to come back. We may never see our parents again. There's no turning back. But this may be our only chance. We can't let fear stop us! I'm not afraid of the darkness!" He turned his attention back to me. He held out his hand, beckoning me to come to him.

Me: "Riku..." Suddenly, a pool of darkness formed under Riku and started to consume him. "Riku!" I ran to him and reached for his hand, but the darkness kept me from reaching him. We were being swallowed by darkness. Why did this all seem so familiar? Then I saw a light. It got brighter and brighter until it evaporated the darkness around me. I opened my eyes and Riku was gone. I looked down at my sword to see it had changed.

Voice: "Keyblade... Keyblade..." A Keyblade? I took a closer look. It did kinda look like a key, but not quite. It was a deep, pastel blue color while the handle itself was a deep indigo. The "blade" was a light-blue metal bar with a spike and a star at the end of the bar that was the same color. A gold rainguard was at the bottom of the bar. The Keychain at the end of the handle was a gold star and it was attached to the hilt of the Keyblade with a silver chain. I didn't know why and couldn't explain it, but I felt as though I had seen this before.

Sora: "Hikari!" I saw Sora calling me over to the 'Secret Place'. I ran over to him, killing several of the black creatures. I noticed a large white door blocking the opening.

Me: "What's this door doing here?"

Sora: "I don't know, but can you keep those things from getting in while I see if Kairi's in here?" I nodded. He opened the door and crawled into the 'Secret Place'.

Sora's Pov

I ran through the tunnel and saw Kairi standing by the strange door.

Me: "Kairi!" She slowly turned around.

Kairi: "Sora..." Something was wrong. Her eyes were sad and almost lifeless. She reached out for me, but then the door swung open. A huge, dark wind blasted through and pushed Kairi towards me. I reached out to grab her, but it's like she went through me. The wind pushed me out of the 'Secret Place' and back outside. I rolled several times until I came to a stop. I looked to see that the islands were being torn apart and everything was being absorbed into the sphere above.

Hikari: "Sora!" I saw Hikari running to me. "Did you find Kairi?!"

Me: "I did, but she disappeared." We both turned to see the same monster I had fought in my dream. We had no choice but to fight it. When it knelt down, we would attack it's hands. After awhile, it was lifted into the air and disappeared. The wind started picking up and it was trying to pull us into the sphere. I was both holding on to a piece of wood and Hikari. The pull from the wind and the sphere became too much and my hand slipped. From both the wood and Hikari's hand.

Hikari: "Sora!"

Me: "Hikari!" I tried to reach out for her again, but it was no use. She disappeared from my sight and soon I was swallowed by darkness. My only thoughts were what was happening to my home and what world were the 3 people I cared about the most going to end up?

My Pov

Where... am... I...? What is this? Am I being eaten away by the darkness?

Voice: "You can't let yourself be beaten by darkness that easily, Hikari. You're stronger than this." Huh? Who was that?

Voice 2: "You've seen us fight the Unversed before. You should be able to beat the Heartless, no problem. They aren't that much different." What?

Voice 3: "You told us that you'd fight the darkness when you were old enough to handle your Keyblade. You swore you'd protect those precious to you and fight for the Light."

Me: "What? Who are you people? Show yourselves!"

Voice 4: "I'm afraid we can't do that my child. It's too soon for you to see us. Especially since you don't remember us. It would only confuse you."

Me: "Tell me who you are and I'll remember." I heard them all laugh, but not in a cruel way. More like a friendly, joking way.

Voice: "Sorry, kiddo. It's not the time to remember us just yet." I saw a light. In front of the light were 4 silhouettes. They were only outlines so I couldn't see their faces. There were 2 men, a woman and a boy maybe my age from what I could make out. Something about them, about their voices felt so... familiar. I ran towards them. Like before, the light got brighter and brighter until I felt my consciousness coming back.
