Guys, if there's anyone left reading this story since it's been a year and a half since I've updated it, I am SO sorry for the long delay, not just this, but in all of my other stories! I really didn't want to leave this in unfinished cyber-space land though, so I plan to not just finish this, but the rest of my stories as well. I have to finish the epic finale of Bored, get moving with KH III, and my new Hunger Games story, and I know many of you are anticipating the new chapter of Kingdom Truth or Dare and The Big Bang Kids as well. This is the story that started all of my writing, though, and the one that's taken me the longest to update, so I would like to start with this.

For those that don't know this, I am now a teacher (4th grade), so that's pretty much been taking up all of my time. I am also a full-time graduate student, so that pretty much left no time for writing. I will be getting my Master's Degree in July, though (!), so I'm super excited about that! I am now on summer vacation, however, so I would like to begin writing more. As I said in the last chapter (if anyone even remembers, lol), this is the last Disney World chapter, so the plot begins to thicken up after this.

Just thought I would also do a brief recap summary of the story since it's been so long since I've updated this one.

To begin, Krissa's home world (earth) is suddenly overrun by darkness. While her world is falling, a keyblade suddenly appears in her hand. Shortly after, her world is overcome by darkness and she is blown away.

Riku is feeling guilty about his past, as he always does around the time of year, for it is the 7th anniversary of when he succumbed to the darkness. He noticed Krissa washed up on the beach, face down and unconscious. He takes care of ehr, and goes to Sora for help. A light shows up around her and she disappears.

Riku interupts Sora trying to propose to Kairi, and he explains what just happened. As he does, heartless appear around them. Kairi is sent to protect the island and watch over Krissa, while Sora and Riku decide to find Mickey and ask what is happening.

Krissa wakes up to find Merlin has summoned her to Radiant Garden. He explains that she is able to wield a keyblade, but even he doesn't know why she is able to do so. He had sent her to Destiny Islands (as opposed to Traverse Town) because of the Keyblade Masters living there, but when heartless appeared, he decided to send her somewhere safer. He explains that she needs to train as a keyblade wielder, because an unknown dark threat is threatening the realm of light. She trains, is given armor, and is off to visit her first world.

While Krissa is having her adventures in Mary Poppin's world, Sora and Riku find out from Yen Sid that Maleficent is responsible for what is happening. He explains the stars of many worlds have begun to blink out. A dark shadow is spreading in the universe, causing this. It is up to the keyblade wielders to lock the hearts of the worlds to keep them from falling (though the dark shadow can still cover the world and make it dark out)

At the Land of Departure, Terra and Ven are sent to lock up hearts of the worlds. We find out Aqua is pregnant.

Krissa is a dog in the Lady of the Tramp world. When she travels to Jamestown, she meets Terra and Ven (they have been chasing Meeko, who stole Terra's Wayfinder). Together, they seal that world's heart.

Krissa travels back to Radiant Garden, where she meets Rufus. He is lost, so she lets him tag along. Sora and Riku also show up, and Kairi does as well, telling the duo that Krissa was not where Riku had left her. She informs them that the shadow has also reached the island, so it is dark there. Riku determines that her appearance is not coincidental, so he goes to ask Merlin for some answers while Sora and Kairi are to warn townsfolk of the impending darkness.

Riku runs into Maleficent. She says she is not after him, but Sora and "her." She summons a giant heartless and disappears.

Sora tries to propose to Kairi again. This is interupted when they hear crashes and screams.

Krissa runs into Riku. Both are surprised at the sight of each other's keyblades, but they work together to bring down the heartless. Riku offers to bring her back to the islands, saying he'll "take it from here." Surprised since they barely know each other and at his controllable attitude, a frustrated Krissa leaves to go to the next world.

Darkness reaches Radiant Garden, and Merlin explains to Sora, Kairi, and a hurt Riku that he received a message from Yen Sid, saying that Maleficent is trying to gain control of Kingdom Hearts, and there is more than one way to do so. She can do this by finding two people who were not passed along the keyblade by another master, but who instead whose hearts were destined to do so. Riku determines these people were Sora and Krissa, which is why Maleficent was looking for them. The shadow is also spreading so that Maleficent gains control of Kingdom Hearts, she's have an easier time plunging the universe into darkness.

A frustrated Riku promises to "make things right," leaving by himself to find Maleficent to end things.

Krissa has a flashback of good times in her life while in Nemo's world. Pete looks for the heart of the world, but is eaten by a fish in the process.

In Stitch's world, Sora tries to propose once again, but is interrupted by Stitch himself. Braig has appeared to take over Sparky and make him go crazy, allowing him to look for the heart of this world.

Krissa meets a teenage Lilo, and they run into Sora and Kairi. Sora explains to Krissa about their previous journey and about everything Riku has gone through, and she is sympathetic.

They hear Pleakly scream, and that's where we left off!

The group ran all the way back to Lilo's house. The house already looked to be a mess, with the power flashing on and off. Before they could make it all the way through the front yard, however, a dark portal opened up.

"YOU!" Sora exclaimed!

"ME!" Braig said as he sarcastically pointed to himself, "That's not a polite way to greet an old friend!"

"Old friend?!" Krissa asked Sora.

"One of Xehanort's former pests!"

"Ouch! That hurt! But not as much as you two will be once Maleficent gets her hands on you!" he said pointing to Sora and Krissa.

"In your dreams!" Sora said

Why would she want me, Krissa asked for herself.

"Get ready for a world of pain!"

"AS IF!" Sparky crashes into an electrical outlet behind them and sparks fly. "Well, that's my cue! While you deal with this lowly creature, I'll be looking for the world's heart. Toodles!"

"WAIT, COME BACK!" Sora exclaimed.

"There's no time," Kairi said, "Look!" Sparkly was bouncing around like crazy.

"COUSIN!" Stitch exclaimed.

"We have to help Sparky!" Lilo said.

"Right." said Krissa.

Mission: Help Sparky with Sora, Kairi, and Stitch.

The keyblade wielders tried their hardest to calm sparky, who was bouncing around like crazy. Finally, Krissa unleashed a massive water attack that made Sparky surge, than fall unconscious.

"Cousin...?" Stitch asked sadly. He picked up Sparky sadly, then proceeded to hug him.

"Cousin...ohana," the small yellow creature said. He returned the hug. Everybody awed.

"Nobody gets left behind," Lilo said.

"Or forgotten," Krissa answered quietly, remembering her own family and friends.

A keyhole suddenly appeared in the sky, and Krissa, Sora, and Kairi worked together to seal it.

"Thanks for your help," Lilo said. "I better get inside to check out the mess."

Pleakley then came running out, his wig still smoking.

"Why, I outta, I outta," he said dizzily, but with his fist clenched. "Ugh..." he then fainted.

"Haha, my experiment still a success!" Juumba said.

"Sooora...Kyreeeeeee...Kreeeeesa..." Stitch said, giving each of the wielders a hug. "Aloha."

Krissa remembered what Sora said about Riku, then what Braig said. What could it all mean? She decided to ask Merlin for some answers.

"I'm sure we'll meet again soon!" Krissa said. "Let's go Rufus!"

"Okaaaaay!" Krissa then flew off.

"WAIT!" Sora said.

"I think she's capable of taking care of herself," Kairi said.

"I know. But I'm still worried about Riku..."

I hope there's no typos! But I was so excited to post this after the long hiatus that I was in too much of a hurry to proofread, lol :)
