Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts sorry if you thought I did.

Here it is, the long awaited Sora's Life is a Game I figured I could at least do the prologue ahead of schedule. The rest still planned for end of the year/2015

Prologue: Old Journey, New Goals

BGM: Fragments of Sorrow- Kingdom Hearts II OST

Everything was lost.

Sora fell to his knees in despair as he watched a smirking Xehanort toss away the lifeless body of Kairi with one hand as if it were nothing. The bodies of his allies surrounded Sora as Xehanort raised his hand to the sky causing a large Blue heart to appear.

"Do you see now boy? The futility of your actions?" Xehanort questioned with a smirk as he watched the young man despair. "You truly should have joined me when you had the chance…now watch as I reign supreme with Kingdom Hearts."

"I won't let you!" Sora shouted in anger as he struggled to stand only for Xehanort to flick his wrist, sending Sora crashing to his knees.

"Do you know why you failed boy? Your heart lacked darkness." Xehanort said simply. "Your master's teachings were your undoing, darkness is a weapon just like light and both can be used for both good and evil purposes. You who only knows light and fears the darkness could never hope to face someone such as I whom have mastered both. You are a weak boy who was forced into a struggle he had no business in in the first place. You should have stayed home. You were never worthy of the Keyblade, you were never chosen."

"I…I-"Sora shut his eyes as he bowed his head. Everyone he knew and loved was lying dead around him, even if he could gather enough strength the fight he'd simply lose, he had nothing left to fight for, the light had finally lost.

"D-do not t-tell me you are a-actually listening to this imbecile…" A voice gasped out making his eyes widen in surprise as he turned to see a severely wounded Maleficent glaring at him weakly. She had decided to join them in the final assault figuring that living under Xehanort rule would be far worse for her than letting the light win. "S-so what if that oversized lock pick didn't chose you first? It chose to stay with you and that has to count for something?"

"M-Maleficent?"

"Y-you are an idiot who is far too innocent for s-someone who has seen and done the things you have." Maleficent said coldly. "You have been a thorn in my s-side since the day I have met you and I hate every f-fiber of your being…but you are far from weak, there is a reason you are the last one standing." Maleficent said as her lip twitched into a faint smile. "You have a lot of power left in your heart, I can feel it…just let it out forget the consequences. We're all dead anyway."

*SCHTICK*

"Yes…yes you are." Xehanort drawled as a keyblade speared her viciously through her chest, ending the dark queen's life once and for all. Sora could only watch in horror as some of her blood splattered on him. Five keyblades floated above his head and began to circle him as Xehanort folded his hands behind his back. "Goodbye boy, I will make it quick. You have earned that much." Xehanort drawled and with that all five of the blades slammed into Sora.

*KRANG!*

"What?" Xehanort murmured as a dark energy covered Sora's body just in time to protect him.

-Sora's mindscape-

"Sora! Calm down, you can't let him get to you!" Roxas shouted as he tried to restrain only to be knocked down by a vicious right hook to the side of his face.

"Enough is enough! I'm so sick and tired of everything! If I have to lose myself to the darkness then so be it. We're already going to die Roxas, I'll be damned if I don't wipe the smirk off of his face before I do and you won't stop me. This was my body first, my decision." Sora said coldly as he stepped over Roxas.

-Outside-

"Is this what you want!?" Sora questioned as his eyes began to flash yellow as an inky black substance covered him from head to toe. "Answer me!" Sora boomed as he glared up at Kingdom Hearts while hot tears streamed down his face. The shockwave from his yell made Xehanort raise a hand to shield himself as the keyblades went flying away. "Do you want to see me break!? Does my pain amuse you!?" Sora shouted at Kingdom Hearts before glaring at Xehanort.

"This boy contained this much darkness!? Impossible! Just what has he been through over the past few years?" Xehanort wondered with a small frown as he watched the young man shout at Kingdom Hearts. "Poor boy has finally lost it."

"Every single time I have nearly died trying to stop him from abusing you and what is my reward? Everyone I love dead and him somehow coming back stronger than ever! I'm sick of it." Sora said coldly as he threw away his keyblade. "I'm sick of the keyblade, I am sick of this monster and his plans, but even more than him I'm sick of you!" Sora said the last part as he glared back up at Kingdom Hearts. "I'm ending my life on my own terms, my life is not a game you play around with for a cheap laugh." Sora muttered before dashing at Xehanort on all fours like a rabid animal.

"Fool." Xehanort muttered as he summoned a dozen keyblades to shield him as Sora leapt up and slammed his fist towards him.

*BOOOOOOOOOM!*

Sora gritted his teeth as black tendrils ripped from his fist and dove in between the openings of the keyblades and slammed into Xehanort who managed to create a small shield of magic to protect him from the weaker attacks. Suddenly the tendrils began to spin rapidly as if they were drills making Xehanort frown as he noticed them attempting breach his defense. So much pain and anger was being released form Sora that even Xehanort was impressed. A smirk graced his lips as he saw Sora fall to his knees in hold his head in pain as monsters began to pull themselves from his body.

"Hmph. Unversed, now that's a sight I have not seen in a while." Xehanort drawled as hordes of Unversed began to fill the area. "You never cease to amaze me, but still…" Xehanort trailed off as Keyblades appeared above the unversed. "You are still too weak!" Xehanort shouted as the keyblades rained down upon his adversaries.

*BOOOOOOOOM*

"I won't stop!" Sora roared in anger as he charged Xehanort while more creatures flew from his body. As he continued the one-sided assault, neither of the keyblade wielders noticed Sora's keyblade disappear in a golden flash. Sora clawed viciously at Xehanort whom easily combated his wild attacks. This went on for a few moments before Xehanort caught Sora around his neck and slammed him into the ground with enough force to create a large crater.

BGM: END

"It's over boy." Xehanort muttered as a keyblade appeared in his free hand. He narrowed his eyes as he prepared to end Sora once and for all.

*FLASH*

Xehanort instantly leapt away a large pillar of golden light slammed into the battleground. Sora shook his head as the darkness receded and both he and Xehanort looked on with slightly wider eyes at the beam of energy. Following the pillar upwards, both realized that it was leading to Kingdom Hearts.

"This is it! The beam will lead me to Kingdom Hearts! Kingdom Hearts is mine! Finally, the power I deserve shall be mine!" Xehanort boasted loudly, and much to his misfortune that would be his undoing. Realizing what Xehanort had said, Sora instantly rolled to his feet and dove towards the beam like an Olympic swimmer.

"Like hell! If anyone deserves it, it's me!" Sora shouted, much to Xehanort's horror, and disappeared into the pillar. Before Xehanort could even react the light had vanished and Kingdom Hearts had faded from the sky. Xehanort simply watched the sky in morbid fascination as he fell to his knees. Slowly his shoulders began to tremble as he glared into the sky.

"SOOOOORRRRRRAAAAAAAA!"

-Later: Kingdom Hearts-

Sora was lying unconscious on his back as a shadow covered him.

Awaken.

"*Gasp*" Sora's eyes snapped open with a gasp as he propped himself up on his elbows he looked around frantically. His face did nothing to hide his confusion as he found himself standing in what looked the single most beautiful castle ever imagined.

"You're awake." A warm voice said and Sora looked up to find a beautiful blonde haired woman smiling down at him, clad in a white dress, with her eyes closed.

"Naminé?" Sora questioned in shock making the woman shake her head as her eyes opened revealing a pair of bright blue eyes that had bright pink hearts as pupils.

"Afraid not." The woman said as she sat down next to Sora and gazed into his eyes. "You mortals know me as Kingdom Hearts, I have taken this form to communicate with you."

"Wait-you're Kingdom Hearts? Wait what happened to Xehanort!?" Sora questioned in alarm making the woman tilt her head as she thought about the question.

"Right now he's screaming your name in anger and attempting to force my lock open-something I will not allow to happen a second time." Kingdom Hearts answered with a smile. "Your struggle is over, you have won."

"Won!? Not only is he still alive but all my friends are dead!" Sora snapped angrily. "I haven't won a thing! You have infinite knowledge and power or whatever right, then let's go back and save them!"

"Hmmm…I refuse." Kingdom Hearts said with a smile making him gape for a second before glaring at her.

"Why not! Isn't that the whole point of finding you? To get your power? You just said I won, give me your power to fix things!"

"Settle down love, I never said I would not help you fix things after all my power is yours now. I just refuse to open this door again. If I did the one you call Xehanort would no doubt break in and steal enough of my power to finish you off."

"So what happens now?" Sora questioned with a frown

"Now…we fix things." Kingdom Hearts said as a heavily damaged Kingdom Key appeared in her hands. Kingdom Key was charred and half the blade was completely shattered. Every now and then it would release a spark of magical energy. Sora's eyes narrowed his eyes at the Keyblade before releasing a groan.

"I am so tired of that weapon-"

"This TOOL saved your life." Kingdom Hearts interrupted with a frown. "You can defend yourself with Keyblades but do not refer to them as weapons, they are tools meant to bring harmony to the multi-verse. This one sacrificed itself to attempt to open up my lock."

"What!?" Sora asked in confusion making her nod.

"The Keyblade is a sentient tool used to create balance and harmony. It records all of your bonds, emotions, and memories. Once you lost yourself in your despair it came here jammed itself into my lock before releasing all of its records in an attempt to break it open."

"But…why?" Sora asked helplessly as he looked at his damaged Keyblade.

"Because it cares for you, you fool. It may not have chosen you at first but it did choose to stay, surely that is a more impressive feat than being fated to wield it." Kingdom Hearts drawled before a sad smile graced her lips. "It destroyed itself trying to open my lock and it would have failed if Xehanort was not trying to open it as well, seeing how much you meant to it made me choose to open up closer to you."

"Wow…" Sora muttered as he looked at his busted weapon with a bit of sorrow and guilt. All the times he had blamed the Keyblade, hated it, and it still chose to be with him.

"Now as for how we are going to fix this…" Kingdom Hearts began as it stood up. "We can open up a door to the past where you can stop that madman when he's weaker, but you'll actually have to be alive in the time we send you. Not only that but you have to open up the door again before Xehanort, understand me? You must be the ruler of Kingdom Hearts."

"How am I supposed to open the door again?" Sora questioned in surprise and a bit of eagerness, he could go back, fix it all, save them all!

"I have seven treasures that when brought together with two Keyblades of equal power will forge a X-Blade which will allow you access to me." The woman said before smiling. "Luckily for you, you have the two keyblades already thanks to that Synch-blade ability of yours."

Damn now he had to apologize to Roxas for hitting him.

"Seven treasures…do you mean the princesses of heart?" Sora asked suddenly making Kingdom Hearts shake her head.

"No, I guess you would be correct to refer to these as Queens rather than princesses. They possess hearts of great light AND darkness, I take their protection very seriously and have sealed away their hearts. Unfortunately the door to the past is being used to maintain the seals. That means that in order to go back you'll first have to destroy the seals so the door can be reformed."

"Why does this sound incredibly hard?" Sora said apprehensively making her hum in thought.

"Breaking the seal is the easiest part, it is the aftermath you need to worry about. You'll need to find the hearts on your own-luckily the Keyblades can sense them. You'll also have to deal with the changes to the past that result from shattering the seals and opening the door."

"Wait changes?" Sora blinked in confusion making her nod. "What kind of changes?"

"The temporal and magical shockwave you'll create will unearth new worlds which I have hidden a few of the hearts, remix existing worlds, and some worlds may not even be affected at all meaning they will simply move from this timeline and replace the world in the past time line. Do not be surprised if some inhabitants of the world remember you as you are now rather than how you were when you were younger."

"Sorry I asked…my head hurts." Sora muttered as he scratched the back of his head making her laugh. "I gotta ask, you said these hearts meant a lot to you…if so why go so far to help me? Why not simply kick me out and seal yourself again?" Sora questioned making the woman avert her eyes.

"Your Keyblades last act of desperation…it moved me so much that I had to look deeper into your life. A regular boy who simply wanted to have fun with his friends had become one of the greatest keyblade masters in history. Your passionate heart gained my attention and now I want it as one of my treasures."

Sora groaned as he face-palmed he knew that there would be a catch somewhere, but still if he could save everyone he'd gladly give up his life.

"So if you take my heart will I die or be split into a heartless and nobody, or something along those lines?" Sora questioned curiously making her blink owlishly at him.

…

…

*Snort*

…

…

"AHAHAHAHAHA-is this laughter? HAHAHAHA-It's glorious!" Kingdom Hearts laughed for the first time ever. "Your innocence is definitely a breath of fresh air so to speak, no my King, there is more than one way to steal a heart." Kingdom Hearts said as she winked at Sora, confusing him slightly.

"What is she talking about-"Sora's thoughts stopped as realization hit him.

Oh.

OH!

Oh…

"When everything is said and done, Riku will never let me hear the end of this." Sora thought as the woman snapped her fingers and suddenly their surroundings shattered. Sora looked on in awe as he found himself in what looked like the Dive to the Heart. The two were currently standing on a large bright blue glass platform.

"I must warn you King, you have won if you go back now you risk Xehanort returning can you truly live with that? Knowing that if he wins it will be completely your fault?" Kingdom Hearts questioned making Sora shut his eyes.

"A life without them…is not worth living, I'll gladly go back to save them even if there is a chance I fail I am willing to risk it."

"Oh but what about the countless others who live?" Kingdom Hearts questioned making his eyes open. "Are you willing to risk countless lives for the sake of a few?"

"I…I think I have earned the right to be just a tad bit selfish." Sora said quietly making her smile as she placed a hand on his shoulder.

"That is your darkness talking." Kingdom Hearts said making him tense. "That is not a bad thing, however, Xehanort was right about one thing. Until you master both your light and darkness you will never defeat him. Take this second chance to master your darkness like you have mastered your light. Only when you have mastered both can you truly make a difference." Kingdom Hearts said as she raised her hand.

*Snap*

Sora looked around in awe as seven stain glass platforms circled them. Each platform had a different picture with a woman shown on it.

One had a blonde woman garbed in blue encased in ice.

The second was in complete contrast and had a red-haired woman garbed in black being engulfed by a flaming bird.

The third had a hooded orange-skinned woman surrounded by stars holding two swords of pure light one green and one red. The hood was black and tattered and the swords were both held in a reverse grip.

The fourth one had a woman with bright orange hair and black and white skin, she was garbed in a black and blue robe and was surrounded by darkness.

The fifth showed a feminine creature that had blue skin and a pair of large bat-like wings and a long tail. Her eyes were blazing red and matched her hair. She was clad in white and looked to be fighting both humans and other creatures like herself

The sixth showed a beautiful blonde woman who was sitting on a throne. She was garbed in a black feathery outfit and was surrounded by ravens.

The last, however, made Sora's jaw drop. It was a woman wearing a similar outfit to the previous one only she had a pair black angel wings and ruby red lips, her long black hair blew behind her as she held a staff tightly in her right hand. She was surrounded by what looked like gold and green fire.

But what stood out the most for Sora?

The pair of black horns that protruded from her head, he'd recognize those anywhere.

"Ah I see you recognize the last one. You see like the princesses of heart all of these women had pure hearts but eventually they were all engulfed by darkness they have a perfect balance of both which is why I treasure them so much." Kingdom Hearts explained. "Light is internal, innate in everyone, but darkness is external outside factors contribute to how dark one becomes."

"So what do I do now?" Sora questioned curiously before the platforms flew down below them and floated one directly above the other.

"These are the seals, take your keyblade and shatter them you'll need both light and darkness to overload the seals. Not even Keyblade masters can break all of them for they can only be defeated with emotion, you need to want it enough to destroy all of them." Kingdom Hearts said making Sora frown sadly as he looked at his broken keyblade.

*FLASH!*

Sora blinked as the keyblade was instantly repaired in the woman's hand after exploding in a golden flash.

"Do try not to break this again." Kingdom Hearts said good-naturedly as she handed Sora the keyblade. "Remember, it chose to stay. Also keep your heart open to both light and darkness."

"I don't think I can repay you, not long ago I was cursing your existence-I'm sorry about that. Thank you for being such a great help." Sora said quietly as he walked to the edge of the platform with his trusty Kingdom Key. He stopped when he was suddenly embraced tightly from behind. The woman's hair suddenly turned pitch black as her eyes burned red while her heart-shaped purples turned upside down and shifted from pink to black. Sora blinked owlishly as he looked down at one of the hands holding him and realized her skin had gotten darker.

"Do not fool yourself into thinking I am doing this because I want to, like this is somehow out of the goodness of my heart. If I had my way you'd be locked away here with me for the rest of eternity, for the first time ever I am experiencing love. Do not believe that I would be so willing to risk it. I'd never let you be hurt again." Kingdom Hearts said firmly as she spun the hero around and glared into his eyes, he tremebled as he could feel the hate she had for his actions. The glare she gave him was worse than any of Xehanort's.

"What then why-" Sora stopped as she pressed her lips to his for a moment before stepping back leaving him gaping at her while she turned back to her previous form.

BGM: Simple and Clean Fast Version- Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep OST

"Because you'd never be able to live with yourself if you didn't do this, if you love something set it free and if it's meant to be it shall return. I shall await the day of our reunion with baited breaths. Now go forth and conquer my King." Sora nodded with a determined expression as he charged his keyblade with all the light he could muster before jumping off of the platform with his eyes closed. As he fell, Sora reached deep into his very being and tried to draw out his darkness.

An image of a smirking Xehanort flashed through his mind.

Sora's eyes snapped open with a glare as his irises burned yellow while darkness swirled around his keyblade.

[Reaction!]: Heartbreaker!

With a roar, Sora slung his keyblade into the first seal with all his might.

*CRASH!*

The seal shattered but the keyblade did not stop its descent as the fragments of the first seal flew down past it.

*CRASH!*

*CRASH!*

*CRASH!*

*CRASH!*

*CRASH!*

*CRASH!*

The debris from the shattered seals all raced ahead of the keyblade and merged into a golden door. A keyhole appeared in its center just as the keyblade slammed into it. Sora landed on top of the door and took a knee as he grasped the hilt of the Kingdom Key. Kingdom Hearts appeared before him and outstretched her hand just as he turned the key. They eyes met, and her mouth opened just before he was engulfed in a golden light

"Don't go." Kingdom Hearts whispered as her resolve broke making his gaze soften.

*FLASSSSSSHH*

-Arendelle-

A blonde young woman looked out her window sadly as she placed her hand on it. She gritted her teeth as ice began to spread from her palm. Suddenly a sharp pain erupted in her chest sending her crashing to her knees. She looked up just in time to see a golden shooting star in the sky.

-Earth-616-

A red haired woman frowned as she saw a particularly bright shooting star, suddenly she crashed to her knees as a pain shot through her heart.

"Red Queen!" She heard someone shout in the distance as her chest burned.

-Litwaks' Arcade-

A black and white imp with orange hair stared out the screen of her game and outside the window of the arcade, she tilted her head curiously as she saw the shooting star as a weird pain hit her in her chest.

-A Galaxy Far, Far, Away-

A drunken orange skinned young woman stumbled through an alleyway before falling to a knee as her chest burned. Looking up she could just see a golden light shoot through the sky.

-Manhattan-

A blue skinned Gargoyle looked into the sky in confusion as she saw the strange shooting star, she growled in rage as something burned in her chest causing her eyes to blaze red.

-Dwarf Woodlands-

Snow white looked on in fear as a large explosion rung out through the air and she turned to see a white light engulfing everything in sight. Somewhere on the world a blonde haired woman was holding her chest in pain as the light shot through the sky.

-Enchanted Dominion-

A raven stood on a branch and looked up at the sky in wonder as it saw the falling star. It blinked as its master's signature cloak was bathed in a green light that sent seven pages of a nearby dust covered journal flying away into the sky as the golden streak continued to course through the sky.

-Twilight Town-

Roxas looked on in confusion as he saw something landed in the direction of the abandoned mansion.

BGM: END-

An ethereal Sora smiled tiredly as he founded himself falling towards a familiar pod. His eyes felt heavy as he fazed through the pod and stared at the sleeping form of his younger self. He quickly touched the younger teen on his forehead before disappearing in a golden flash. He fell asleep knowing that when he awoke he would be having his biggest adventure yet.

-1 week later-

Sora stood up and stretched his arms with a yawn before looking down at his clothes.

"God these shorts got way too small for comfort. Still, thanks Roxas." Sora thought with a smile before looking up to see the laughing forms of Donald and Goofy. Emotion quickly overtook him as he realized he was actually back and that they were really alive. "Donald! Goofy!" Sora shouted as he leapt forward and embraced both of them in a tight hug. Tears threatened to fall from his eyes as he held two friends whom he thought he'd never see again.

"Man that was some nap!" Jiminy said making Sora laugh.

"Come on guys we gotta get out of here-" Sora stopped when he saw a sparking chest in the corner of the room, unlike other chests this one was easily four times the size of the others and was made out of solid gold.

"What's wrong Sora?" Donald questioned curiously before glancing where Sora was staring.

"Gawsh! What do you think is in that Sora?" Goofy questioned making the Keyblade wielder shrug.

"Only one way to find out." Sora said as he approached the chest.

*FLASH*

He smiled as his trusty keyblade appeared in his right hand before tapping the top of the chest with it, popping it open in the process.

*CLANG*

Sora dropped the keyblade on the ground in shock, causing it to de-summon as he stared at the contents. Inside of the chest was every key-chain he had ever owned and on top of that was a single photo of Kingdom Hearts. He had no idea when, where, or how, she got a camera but the contents of the picture was enough to make his face shine redder than his shorts.

"Sora?" Donald questioned making Sora jump like a teen who's "stash" was found by his mother. Diving forward Sora instantly snatched up the picture and shoved it in his pocket as his companions walked up.

"Who was that?" Jiminy questioned curiously with wide-eyes making Sora curse as he forgot the cricket was on his shoulder.

"Don't know, but look at these keychains!" Sora quickly derailed the conversation as his friends approached him. Goofy whistled and Donald gaped at that sight.

"Sora…are you crying?" Donald questioned in concern.

"It's…it's just so beautiful…" Sora gasped out as he wiped his eyes before looting the chest with both hands and jamming them in his pockets like a bandit. Donald and Goofy just stood off to the side and sweat-dropped at his antics.

-Later-

After raiding the chest and talking to a few of Roxas' friends, the group made their way towards the train station. Sora wasted no time and instantly activated his scan ability as they approached the station. Sora frowned in confusion as he noticed a new black bar over his MP bar.

BGM: Twister- The World Ends With You OST

*Flash*

Sora instantly summoned Kingdom Key as nobodies appeared before them, he'd have to worry about the new bar later. His signature key would be more than enough to handle what was to come, he'd save his Synch-blade for enemies that actually needed it. He also didn't want to raise any questions. Dashing forward quicker than the eye could follow, Sora appeared behind three nobodies with his Keyblade mid-swing.

*SHING!*

*SHING!*

*SHING!*

The dusks fell apart in two pieces after large gashes appeared across their mid-sections. Inwardly he was surprised that they were taken down with such ease.

"Sure I'm a bit shorter, but my power hasn't changed." Sora mused as he back flipped behind a dusk that tried to sneak up on him and decapitated it mid-swing. Landing on his feet, Sora easily slid behind another dusk with a well-timed reversal and slammed his keyblade into it.

*FABOOOOOM*

Sora smirked slightly white orbs of magic to erupt from the Keyblade and slam into the surrounding enemies decimating them instantly.

"Good, I was not looking forward to training again-wait what's this?" Sora thought with a frown as he noticed that the new bar began to fill up with yellow energy every kill. "Huh…might as well see where this takes me." Sora mused as he grabbed a Dusk by its neck and used it to block an attack from another nobody.

*SCHTIK*

The attacking Dusk attempted to free itself after its hand found itself stuck within the body of its fellow nobody. Hopping back, Sora raised his keyblade and aimed it at the nobodies with narrowed eyes.

"Firaga!" Sora shouted as both of the creatures exploded in a blazing inferno.

! Dark Aura: Full!

Sora blinked in slight surprise as he noticed the yellow bar flashing brightly as soon as it was completely filled. It was at this moment that he found himself surrounded by dozens of creepers. Unlike the last time he was in this situation, however, Sora wasn't even closed to being fatigued.

! Dark Reaction: Execution!

Sora held his chest tightly as he felt a powerful sensation engulf his heart. Sora's bright blue eyes bled a sinister gold as he suddenly flew up in between the circling creepers and curled into himself before suddenly extending his arms and legs.

*BOOOOM!*

*SHING!*

Sharp black tendrils erupted from around his body and impaled the nobodies through their emblems. The creatures struggled for a second before dissolving on the spikes. After a moment the energy dissipated and Sora landed back on the battlefield in a crouch and looked up at his gaping companions while his eyes turned back to their normal blue color.

BGM: END

"What was that Sora!?" Donald questioned in shock as Sora stood up sheepishly as he tried to think of a quick lie.

"No idea, it just happened. Maybe I picked something up when I was asleep?" Sora said with a shrug making Donald and Goofy glance at each other before shrugging as well.

"Glad to see you still fight dirty as ever Sora." Donald said with a smirk making Sora look slightly offended.

"I do not fight dirty!" Sora argued making both Donald and Goofy stare at him with half-lidded eyes.

"Really?" Donald questioned as Goofy nodded to himself.

"Shucks, Sora, you do have a tendency go a bit overboard. Remember all the heartless you've defeated with their own weapons?" Goofy questioned curiously making Sora pout as he remembered some of his reactions in fights. Like the time he beat Marluxia down with his own scythe.

"It's not fighting dirty, it's improvising!" Sora defended making Donald chuckle.

"Are you convincing me or you?"

Before Sora could respond more nobodies suddenly appeared around them making him sigh as he raised his Kingdom Key. Before he could take them out, however, a familiar figured landed in front of him and quickly laid waste to the nobodies. Sora couldn't help the smile that spread across his face as he registered the familiar keyblade in the figure's hands.

"Your Highness!" Sora called out making the figure glance back and raise a finger.

"Shh." The figure admonished making Sora roll his eyes, in hindsight that cloak really didn't hide his identity-his ears were a dead giveaway. "You gotta board the train and leave town! The train knows the way. Here!" King Mickey said as he hopped back and handed Sora a sack of Munny.

"Best mentor ever." Sora mused to himself as Mickey ran away. "Though the disappearing act is going to get old." Sora thought as he pocketed the sack. "Time to go see Yen Sid."

-Hours later-

After being sent off by Roxas' friends and a train ride long enough to make Sora appreciate his Gummi ship a bit more, the group eventually made it to Yen Sid's tower. Sora simply crossed his arms as he stared at the scheming form of Pete with his best poker face.

"What's going on?" Donald questioned suddenly making Pete chuckle.

"I sent some of my lackeys inside to see if the master of this here's tower is as big and tough as they say. Word is he's a real powerful sorcerer which will make him the perfect bodyguard for me. See it don't matter how tough he is, once he's a heartless he'll do as I say!"

"A heartless?" Donald said as he and Goofy prepared for combat.

"That's right. They're those things that come out of the darkness of folk's hearts. Why, with all those heartless at her side my dear friend Maleficent is gonna conquer everything!" Pete declared making Sora frown slightly as he remembered the woman who laid down her life for him. "And since I got me a debt to pay I'm goin' round to a bunch of different worlds and buildin' an army of heartless, special for her!"

"Is that right?" Sora asked skeptically.

"Yep, oh why am I talkin' to you pipsqueaks anyway? Go on scram, I'm behind schedule as it is!" Pete said as he gestured for them to run off.

"You oughta find something nicer to do." Goofy said making Sora nod.

"He really does need a hobby, doesn't he?" Sora questioned rhetorically.

"Oh says who?" Pete muttered as he finally turned around to look at the ones who were talking to him. It took him a moment to register their faces, and when he did he stumbled back in shock. "Wha…AHHH! It's you!"

"Man there's so many things wrong with that plan of yours I don't even know where to begin…" Sora said with a chuckle. "Your lackeys can't even face me, but you think they can fight the master of my master? Wow."

"T-that doesn't matter, Maleficent is going to help me and-"

"Didn't we take care of her?" Donald questioned suddenly as he turned to Sora who hummed in thought.

"Yeah she's toast, but only temporarily. People as strong as her tend not to go down on the first try." Sora said with a shrug. "We'll probably run into her again. In fact, if you do run into her Pete-pass on a message for me." Sora said as he aimed his keyblade at Pete. "I'm coming for her heart. Firaga!" Sora shouted making Pete explode in a ball of fire knocking him out instantly before he could call any of his heartless, unfortunately this had the added effect of burning off all of his clothes which instantly made the three recoil in disgust.

"My eyes!" Donald cried as Sora grimaced.

"Gah! Please remind me not to do that again…" Sora muttered as they attempted to walk in to the tower without looking at Pete's nude form. As soon as they made it inside, they began to run up a large spiraling staircase. After a few seconds small heartless began to appear before them, but were instantly cut down by Sora with minimal effort. "I can't believe I'm actually waiting for stronger opponents, this is going to get boring quick." Sora thought to himself as he cut down a few more with a sigh. Donald and Goofy actually had to try against their opponents and therefore never noticed the extremely bored expression Sora's face.

-Later-

After removing the heartless and skimming Yen Sid's book, Sora finally found himself where he truly wanted to be. His entire motivation to even come to the castle stemmed from this one moment.

New threads.

As much a she loved his old clothes, he was tired of looking down and seeing his knees and upper thighs…he had out grown this outfit and it was time for an upgrade.

Oh and the drive forms were a plus too he supposed.

"Uhh…if I can make a suggestion…" Sora began before the three fairies could throttle each other. "How about black?" Sora asked making the fairies blink as they glanced at each other before nodding. With a simultaneous wave of their wands, Sora found himself standing in his black hooded outfit once again. "Nice! Not bad at all!" Sora praised making them laugh at his excitement.

"Gawsh, Sora nice clothes!" Goofy complimented him making him nod.

"Thanks!" Sora grinned. "Let's see now that the clothes are taken care of all that's left is to find the seven hearts, bring down the organization, master my darkness, rule Kingdom Hearts, and destroy Xehanort…easy…" Sora thought before sighing. "I only know who one of the Queens are and she's possibly the strongest one. I also know next to nothing about her." Sora thought to himself before turning to the red fairy. "Hey Flora, can I ask you a question?" Sora asked suddenly making her blink in surprise.

"Why of course dear, whatever troubles you?" Flora asked kindly.

"What can you tell me about Maleficent?" Sora asked bluntly making Fauna and Merryweather gasp at the mere mention of her name.

"She's a witch!" Fauna said with a frown as Merryweather trembled. "Good riddance."

"She's gone Sora, why do you ask?" Flora questioned trying to keep a level head but Sora could tell that her calm demeanor was forced.

"With Pete earlier, I couldn't help but think that she may not be as gone as everyone thinks." Sora lied smoothly and it bugged him how good he was getting at doing that. "I want to be prepared in case she comes back, but I realized I know next to nothing about her."

"Sora, dear, there are some things that are better left in the past." Flora said kindly but firmly making him nod with an apologetic smile.

"I see, sorry if that was uncomfortable to ask you." Sora said sheepishly though on the inside he was frowning. "They're hiding something, plan B it is."

-Later: Gummi Ship-

"Alright next stop, Hallow Bastion!" Goofy declared with a smile making them nod.

"Now…the adventure will truly begin, with even more worlds to explore and possibly more enemies…" Sora thought as he sat in his chair.

"Are you okay Sora?" Donald questioned gaining the Keyblade wielder's attention. "You've been brooding a lot today."

"Sorry, it's just we've been through a lot and there will be a lot more fighting before things get better, just trying to prepare myself." Sora said before shaking his head suddenly and placing a bright smile on his face. "But enough brooding! Now it's time for action! The bad guys won't know what hit them!" Sora declared making them smile as the Sora they knew and loved came back. "Chip, Dale I had a sudden thought-how many people can fit in this ship?" Sora asked suddenly confusing his companions.

"Hmm, I believe we can squeeze one more person in here, why?" Chip asked curiously making Sora glance at his friends.

"Guys, I think it's time we extended our group a bit more. If we're going to have more enemies, then we need more allies!" Sora declared making Goofy and Donald glance at each other in surprise before turning back to Sora.

"Well gawsh, Sora what do you mean?" Goofy questioned curiously.

"It's just that Donald is a great wizard but I feel bad for making him cover us while we're up close and personal. He only has so much magic, I think we need to get more distance support to take the strain off him." Sora said making Goofy nod his head.

"You're right, sorry Donald I never thought about how much you had to cover us." Goofy said sheepishly making Donald wave him off, though he would never admit it Donald was grateful that they were willing to help make it easier for him to fight.

"Who did you have in mind Sora?" Donald questioned making Sora lean back in his chair with a small smile.

"Guys, for the adventure we're about to have? I think we're going to need a thief."

-Later: Yen Sid's Castle-

The fairies looked on in terror as the cloak began to rise up before them. Sora was right, they were fools to think that a monster like Maleficent could ever stay down. Before the cloaked figure could reveal its face, the three immediately teleported away in terror.

"HAHAHA!" Maleficent's booming laughter rung out through the tower. She felt better than she had in years, glancing down at her hands she couldn't help the smirk that graced her red lips as she stared down at her pale hands. "So my body is no longer weakened by my magic's corruption." Maleficent muttered as she glanced at the shocked form of her raven. "Come now Diablo, surely it has not been that long since you last saw me in my prime?" Maleficent chuckled as the bird flew to her shoulder.

*FLASH!*

Her trusty staff once again appeared in her hands and she began to leave the tower, but before she could leave a folded piece of paper caught her attention. It was hidden under the table and peeked out just far enough for someone from her position to see it.

"Oh?" Maleficent drawled as she saw her name on it. Glancing to her raven, Diablo flew down to pick it up before flying back to his mistress with the note in his beak. Opening it up, she raised an elegant eyebrow as she read its contents.

Maleficent,

Don't get too comfortable,

I'm coming back for your heart.

-Sora, keyblade wielder extraordinaire.

P.S. Pete is the worst henchman of all time

"Well…well…" Maleficent mused as a smirk graced her lips, her bright green eyes shining with mirth. "The boy mistakes himself for a man challenging me like this, still, I shall keep an eye on him. I may need his skills later. Let us be gone Diablo." The bird released a cry before they both vanished from the room in a green flash.

What is to happen to Sora and his friends? Just how much will Kingdom Heart's temporal shockwave remix his journey? Find out next time in Sora's Life is a Game.

"Oh dear God, Marvel's owned by Disney." A man wearing a skin-tight red and black outfit with two katanas strapped to his back said breathlessly. Over his face was a red mask that had two black ovals surrounding a pair of completely white eyes. "I'm going to be written in a story again!" the man said as he turned to the viewers. "You hear that viewers? Deadpool's back bitches! Now you know why this story is going to be rated M, cause of this badass right here. Sora won't know what hit him!"

Dear God what have I done-

"Suck it mister Author you knew your fans have been waiting for my epic return!" Deadpool laughed.
