This is a story of Kingdom Heart III. I do not own anything. All the characters, Worlds and theme belong to Disney and Square Enix.

The story will continue after KH3D Dream Drop Distance and will be based off and contain any information that is leaked from Kingdom Hearts III. I am trying to make a story that relates to the main series as much as possible. I am hoping to keep the character's personalities as close to the real ones as I can. The story is for all ages, just like the game is rated E for ages 10+. There will be as much action and fantasy violence that is seen in the game's main series. This will not contain any elements that you wouldn't find in the game.

I love using my imagination to create fantasy stories and characters. For me to use my most favorite thing in this world as a theme for my story is like a dream! I've studied and experienced a lot of the Kingdom Hearts Series. And I have tried many times to make up my own stories and plots for the next installments in the main story. So here is my new KH3 story and also my first ever published fanfic. I hope you enjoy reading it!

(The Introduction to How This Story Begins)

Leading off after Sora and Riku's Mark of Mastery Exam that had taken place at the Mysterious Tower, where they were both instructed by Master Yen Sid to become Keyblade Masters. The test ended with only Riku becoming a true Keyblade Master, while Sora didn't manage to pass the test himself. Because he had felt bad for falling asleep during their test, Sora had gone back to the Sleeping Realm for some unfinished business he felt he needed to attend to. He departed right after Riku had been named a Keyblade Master, and Lea had revealed to all of them that he can also wield a keyblade, much to everyone's surprise.

After Sora had been away on his own in the Sleeping Worlds, some of the others remaining at the tower had gone off to do some things as well. Riku was asked to run a mystery errand, by Master Yen Sid. While Lea had decided to take trip back to Radiant Garden, for some unknown reason.

While Donald and Goofy were waiting outside, Riku soon made his return. Arriving with a friend beside him revealed that he had been asked to bring Kairi to Yen Sid, as the wizard had requested. As he lead Kairi up the tower, King Mickey and Master Yen Sid were discussing urgent matters that would soon need to be dealt with. They had learned much of Master Xehanort's true plan during their encounter with him, while they were trying to rescue the comatose Sora in a different version of The World That Never Was.

Xehanort revealed that he intends on recreating the one true X-blade, used to summon Kingdom Hearts and start another Keyblade War over gaining the power to rule all Worlds. His goal is to create the X-blade that once brought a chaotic war. But because the war ended with the X-blade being shattered into twenty pieces, there must be a clash between seven lights and thirteen darknesses, which make up the twenty pieces it was crafted by. Xehanort can either use the seven princesses of heart or battle with seven guardians of Light who gather to protect the seven maidens with hearts of pure Light. It seemed as though there would be no way of them preventing such a threat, which could bring destruction to the one true Light forever. Their only hope would be to stop Xehanort from taking control over Kingdom Hearts before it was too late.

The King and the wizard knew they would have to find seven keyblade wielders of Light, in order to protect the seven princesses who form the very source of Light they live in. In the middle of their conversation, Riku had arrived with Kairi, just as Yen Sid had requested. The reason for bringing Kairi was then explained by the wizard.

Chapter 1. The Story Begins

~Magical Mystery plays (KH II OST)~

Inside the tower, Riku was standing while leaning against the wall, listening to Yen Sid explain his intentions to Kairi, to why he had Riku go back to the islands to bring her back to him in the first place.

Meanwhile, outside sitting on the steps to the tower were Donald and Goofy. Who were still wondering where Sora was and why he hadn't returned yet. Donald let out a long sigh, getting tired of just waiting.

"Hmm? I wonder when Sora will get back, don't you?" Goofy asked his feathery friend. "I guess we'll just have to be patient. He'll be back soon. He told us he wouldn't be away for too long, remember?" Goofy continued while hoping to cheer up his friend.

"He better not forget about us!" Donald cried.

Goofy stood up and walked toward the door to the tower. "Why don't we head back inside for a bit to see what's going on. Aren't you curious about why Riku was asked to bring Kairi here to Master Yen Sid?"

Donald jumped up and dashed toward the front door to catch up with Goofy. "Yeah! Let's go Goofy!" The two hurried up the stairs to where the others were.

Once they had finally reached the top floor they entered into Yen Sid's chamber. They saw the wizard still talking to Kairi. They also noticed that Lea still had not returned from his trip to Radiant Garden. They quietly walked over to their King, who was paying close attention to his Master's speech. Riku watched as the two lined up next to Mickey, and wondered if they had learned anything about Sora. Yen Sid's voice continued to echo through the room...

"That is why I asked that you were brought here to me. We must plan any secret strategies we can if we ever hope to outsmart the thirteen seekers of darkness. Who apparently seems to know enough to always be ten steps ahead of us." Yen Sid finished explaining to Kairi.

Yen Sid let out a sigh, then looked over toward Donald and Goofy, remembering they had not been present long. "I see you both have gotten tired of waiting outside. Am I correct?" The captain of the royal guard and the King's court magician both nodded together. "I gather this must mean Sora has not made his return then. But I am certain there is no need for us to worry. He'll come back to us when he is ready." Yen Sid assured them.

The wise wizard's words were starting to comfort them, and Donald and Goofy promised that they'd try to be more patient while also remembering not to worry so much.
