A Daemon's Second Chance (Tales of Berseria x Kingdom Hearts)

Chapter 2: Mysterious Tower, a New Journey Begins!

Velvet, Laphicet, Sora, Donald and Goofy all walked back up to the first floor, with Jiminy sitting on their shoulders. They stepped outside, where they discovered the front garden surrounded by walls, with a large opened gate out in front, leading outside.

"Finally, fresh air." Velvet said, stretching her arms. "It was very dusty in there." Donald and Goofy walked ahead of them and looked around.

"So," Laphicet started, "You really can't remember what happened to either you or your friends?" Sora pondered on the question.

"Nope, I can't remember anything." he answered, "But what about you guys. Any idea how you got down there?"

"No, sorry." Laphicet replied shaking his head.

"I see," Sora sighed. The trio heard a bell ringing off in the distance. They looked up at the sunset sky. "So, can you tell me at least where this place is?" Laphicet looked a bit anxious to answer, but Velvet stepped in.

"Sorry, but the fact is that we are not from this world." She answered. Sora seemed a bit startled.

"Really?" he asked, "So what world do you belong to?"

"Well, we are from..." Velvet started to say, but she stopped after comprehending Sora's question. "Wait, you aren't surprised by this?"

"I know we were startled when we found out." Laphicet said confused.

"Course not," Sora replied, crossing his wrists behind his neck as if he was leaning back, "I've been to plenty of worlds, so it's not a big deal."

"There's much more worlds than this one and ours?" Velvet questions and the two inhumans looked at each other, realizing it would be much more difficult than what they thought.

"Uh, guys?" Sora asked, puzzled by their expressions.

"It's nothing." Velvet answered. She wasn't going to assume anything yet, and a look to Laphicet told him to do the same thing.

"Ok," Sora responded, not even caring. He acted really carefree which made Laphicet begin to laugh as Velvet pinched her nose. "What?"

"You're almost a look alike to Rokurou." Velvet said trying to not laugh.

"He's a friend of yours?" Sora asked and the two nodded.

"Yeah, he's a master swordsman and you remind us of him." Laphicet explained.

"The only thing is that when I met him, he was searching for his sword and didn't even use it once until our last battles together." Velvet told him.

The trio started to walk outside. They gathered up Donald and Goofy, and the group walked out of the gate, through a forest, into a cracked hole, and found themselves in a large town. It looked pretty modern, with tram lines going throughout the town, and there were underground passages too, but they were closed. They walked through the town and up a street.

As they walked through a steel gate, Sora stopped and look around. Velvet and the others looked back at him.

"You know, I think I've been to this town." Sora implied.

"Really? Then what's its name?" Laphicet asked. Sora thought about it for a second, then replied,

"Guess I must've imagined it." Sora walked ahead, the others looking confused at him, then followed.

They walked through a curtained door and found themselves inside a rickety little room. It had boxes and stuff just lying around. There were also three kids around Sora's age inside it. A guy with blond hair was sitting on a boiler of some kind. A chubby, black haired boy was leaning back on a box, and a girl with short brown hair was sitting with her hands holding her head up. They all looked either bored or were thinking about something, but they looked as the group walked in.
