Hearts Collide takes place about two years after Kingdom Hearts 3 will and will probably start another string of stories.

I walked into the training area in Land of Departure to see Sora in his grey and black close fighting Ventus in his armour. They both had similar fighting styles, but ever since Sora started using his Ultimate form full time he won most of the battles between the two. Sora was mainly here so he could finish his Mark of Mastery exam so training with Ven was just for fun.

"Riku, after Sora's done mopping the floor with Ven do you want to spar?" Asked Aqua as she walked towards me.

"Sure, but it looks like Ven might actually give Sora a challenge." I said as Sora dodged another one of Ven's attacks.

"Well, maybe this time it will be a more hard fought victory for Sora." No one had questioned Sora since he took out Xehanort 2 years ago, but he wasn't a god, and I knew that.

Yensid

I walked down the spiralling stare case in the Keyblade castle down to the deepest parts of the building, my pupil mickey by my side.

"It has been 2 years since there has been any Darkness in the land of light." I said to Mickey, explaining why I was taking him here. "I should be happy, but I can't help but wondering where the next Darkness will come from."

"I know, but we have the Keyblade wielders to defend us." Mickey answered, as optimistically as ever.

"Yes, but have you forgotten that Sora was barely able to defeat Xehanort while his friends had been all but killed." I reminded the young king, trying to explain my point. "Each darkness that has come so far has been stronger than the last, what do you think this one will be like."

Mickey nodded seeing my point. "So, what are we going to do?" He finally asked as I pushed open the large wooden doors into a white room with Merlin sitting in mid-air in front of a large crystal ball.

"We are going to use the most vase connection of Hearts to find the Darkest place in the world." I answered as Merlin stood up.

"What's this connection Master Yensid?" Mickey asked as he watched me get into position.

"Not what Mickey, but who." I answered a vast amount of bright lights and lines connecting them. "Sora has come into contact with so many people through his journey that his heart is connected to nearly everyone in the world. We plan to use him as a looking glass into what is to come."

I blocked a strike from Oathkeeper only for Sora to swing the back of his Kingdom Key into my side flipping me over it. I quickly got up and swung my blade up as Sora blocked it putting his Keyblades into an x to do so.

"You're getting really good, I'm surprised you haven't beaten me yet." Sora said being completely sincere.

Sora flipped my sword into the air and was about to finish the fight when an explosion of Light and Darkness sent me flying back into the castle door.

When I looked back up Sora was gone and in his place, an Anti-Sora Heartless. Luckily the creature only had a black Kingdom Key.

I quickly charged the creature and sliced it in half the darkness flooding out of it like a waterfall.

"Sora, where are you?" I heard Kairi call looking around frantically. I hadn't seen her freak out like this in years, but her and Sora had become really close so I could understand her being so upset. "Sora!" she finished collapsing onto her knees as Riku and Aqua helped her up.

Something felt off, and it wasn't just the Heartless' Darkness that had flooded the training area, but everything seemed different somehow.

"Can you guys smell it to?" Riku asked looking kind of tense and abnormally angry. "The Darkness flooding the worlds."

"I can feel it Riku." Terra answered looking just as tense as Riku did. "It feels a lot like when I was Xehanort. Everything is just wrong."

If Riku and Terra said that there was a lot of Darkness in the worlds then you should probably trust them since they both were one with Xehanort and can smell both Light and Dark.

That is the end of Chapter one, and there will be more to come soon. But I still need to focus on my other two stories so it might take longer than usual. Don't forget to review and favourite.
