Kingdom Hearts: The Desired Heart.

[Demyx]

((I was just thinking about this... but isn't Roxas Sora's Nobody? Roxas and Sora were never really in existence at the same time, and if Roxas is around, wouldn't it give that Namine is around too? Just a thought, pay no attention to it. And Riku only has one 'k'. Rikku refers to one of the three girls that were about three inches tall. Sorry, I just needed to point it out. XD))

Demyx wandered around on one of the the streets in Hallow Bastion. He had long since hidden his coat and his sitar, and was now wearing simply a pair of jeans and a blue hoody. He looked around nervously, biting at his lip. "Ooh, I knew I shouldn't have come here... What was I going to do though? Everywhere else is about the same with Heartless... A poor Nobody can't get a break." He moaned, still looking around. "I'm going to be in so much trouble if Roxas finds me. At least... I think I will. We were kind of good friends, but I think he's probably mad at me." He tapped his finger on his chin, thinking. "I mean, I did fight with that kid who was Roxas, but wasn't, really, and they think I'm dead. I pulled a good one there, didn't I?" He laughed, and then looked around nervously, and sighed, putting his foot down. "What am I going to do?"

Matsuri pulled his left hand back smothering the squirming darkness within folds of white. The loose ends of the dressing returned as a dark mist climbed to the sky and disappeared wrapping around the slim arm of Matsuri. It was something he rather disliked;his form he had died, or rather, was killed young but had had a strong heart that caused his body to live on even after his heart had returned to darkness. He sometimes wondered if this dislike for his form was real or just something lingering from when he was a human, most times he simply didn't care whether his feelings were real or not at chose to leave it at that.
He looked down at the two teenage girls shivering and clinging to each other in fear. "You shouldn't be outside its dangerous." Matsuri realized his voice sounded cold and distant but considering the state of this border world no one should have come outside for any reason none the less THAT. He turned to leave and felt arms wrap around his right then his left and heard soft whimpering. Matsuri looked down the deep hole which "the twilight castle" had floated and now where it logically rested, since Xemnas' defeat. He was reminded of the destroyed state the castle was surely in and wondered which was destroyed more it, or the surrounding town?
Since the defeat of Organization XIII the heartless were running wild as one would expect of a border world but now new heartless had appeared. These new heartless were not affected by the "lighthouse's" power meaning they were free to wreck havoc. Any attempts to escape had been met with similar results; there were few survivors.
With a sigh Matsuri started walking back towards where the light was strongest since it allowed these weak beings the ability to at least harm the heartless and drive them back. Though it was inevitable that eventually this world that never was, will be completely engulfed in darkness. While Matsuri felt nothing for anyone he was morbidly curious as to where these odd new heartless were coming from. Unfortunately the only people he could possibly ask hated his very existence for ignorant reasons meaning once he was done escorting these two he would leave this world as well.

((Ah no no you're fine in pointing such things out, but I wanted Roxas to magically be his own person/in the story haha, it is a counterthought to what really they were and as for spelling Riku with two 'k's I couldn't help it lol, but I'll try to remember not to add the second k))

[Fujiwara]

(Yay!! I'm a separate being!! Go me ^__^ )

Roxas had been laying on his bed sideways and staring at the ceiling when he heard a knock on his door. "Yeah?"

Axel sighed. He knew he was supposed to be dead, he was actually surprised that he wasn't. After basically blowing himself up and giving that inspiring speach, he had blacked out. And then he had woken, probably a few days later, on the ground in The World That Never Was surrounded by heartless. He had been wandering ever since, trying to find something in which he didn't know.

[Legendary_Esper]

Aeris sighed, and opened the door slightly. "Roxas, there's a meeting downstairs...the scout party has...gone missing." She breathed out and bit her bottom lip. "Everyone is gathering downstairs."

===============
The Scout Party
===============

Tifa held her breath as she tightly pulled the cloth, Yuffie letting out a screeching wail.

"Stop screaming you little banshee!" Cid hissed while throwing the wrench off to no where, which was where they were...in the middle of no where on a dense and unpopulated gray world.

They'd crashed landed after encountering something too...bizarre even in this day and age to even think about. Cid, Tifa, Yuffie along with Peter Pan, Hercules and Aladdin (and, whoever else wanted to be in the scouting party lol) were sent out on a scouting party to find what they could about the little information they squeezed out of Zansa's first fallen general. They had heard that their leader apart from seeking out the keyblades was also looking for something known as the final heart.

Whatever it was they wanted to find it before he did.

"We're stuck, the gummi's fried and we don't have enough spare parts to fix all the damage. I figure I can at least get the radio up but since it cut out when that..." Cid shuddered. "Anyways I'll try, hey Petey help me out here."

"Sure thing!" Pan smiled and flew over to him.

"We should probably look around, but with Yuffies leg like this she'll need to stay." Tifa stood up and dusted off her hands as she looked around, she noticed that into the far distance it looked like a dropoff, as if they were standing on a hill. "We'll go that way for now and see what we can find. Herc, Aladdin lets go."

They both nodded and walked with Tifa towards the edge of the cliff that was becoming clearer with each step, it was a half hour before they reached within fifty feet of the hill and Tifa started to notice that the ground was starting to churn in a charcoal black, tendrils of burnt ash kicked up as they made their way to the edge, there was a patch of ground that wasn't burnt but she paid little attention as they saw a sight below the cliffside of the hill that was impossible.

Massive amounts scalling probably in the millions were stone statues of Heartless. They covered the land blotting out the ground but they were still, and silent, cast in an eternal pose.

"Oh my..." Tifa finally let out a breath, what happened here? Was it recent? After all these heartless look just like the ones that are terrorizing them now.

"Tifa look!" Aladdin pointed outwards farther from what you could call a battlefield to a massive peak of a castle like thing, it seemed more like high mountain stacks thats peaks pierced the sky. "A castle..."

"...Go back and tell the others, I'm going to that Castle to check it out..." she murmured while looking down the cliffside to find a way down.

"Tifa it could be dangerous I think I better go." Hercules offered, but was cut short as she hopped down the side and started climbing down.

"We should go after her." Aladdin nodded while following behind and Hercules with him.

The sky billowed a horror cry as it started to rain...crimson tears.

[Fujiwara]

Roxas let out a slight gasp and hopped off his bed. He went downstairs for the meeting

[Aiden]

((uhm yeah paige's brain don't work gud with long story beginnings or what not. can you make a list of the worlds as well? i don't actually play the game. i just watch. i'll edit my post when you give me a list.))
Aiden walked around Radiant Garden. Looking out for the nobody's and whomever else cautiously wait for no gooders to waltz on pass. She sat down and wait for another to come along.
Dell was in the same world as Aiden and walked up upon her and looked at her with a tilted head. "And who may you be?"
Aiden looked up sharply and rose her weapon to his head as she stealthly got up. "Why do you need know? Will you kill me? Are you an enemy or a friend waste man?"
"Waste man? nothing better to think of girl?" He laughed to himself for a moment as she snarled at him and pushed the gun further into his face. "Woah woah woah!" He pushed the gun away from his face inch by inch carefully. Looking her in the eyes with love in his eyes. "Back down a bit lass. My name is Dell and I was just wondering if you'd be kind enough to let me stay with you as I get back on my feet. You see i was shot down by an Enemy of mine Demyx. You may or may not have heard of him." He sat there wait for her reaction.
She shook her head. "No i haven't bumped into him quite yet."
"Oh well if i can stay with you and get back on my feet like i said before i was wondering if you'd also be will to help me get back at him?"
"Yes ,i love you. i-i mean i'd love to." She started to flush in her face and then brought her gun down and looked towards the floor in embarrassment.

[Demyx]

Demyx hurriedly slid through a portal as a group of heartless was right behind him. He wasn't even sure where he'd opened the portal to, only that it was someplace with no heartless to be seen right away. He sat on the ground, his face in his hands. "Ooh... I'm hopeless. Xemnas was right, I'm no good for anything." He sighed, sitting there with his hands on his face, hoping something good would happen for once.

[Legendary_Esper]

((there is no limit to the worlds, I'm making up most of the new worlds because this story doesn't go along with the other storylines, but there will be some worlds the same, if you don't know the name of the world make it up lol))

[kukutaru_ookami]

(Question this occurs after Kingdom Hearts II so shouldn't Hollow Bastion be Radiant Garden? You know because Tron is the new MPC (master control program) and showed the real form of Hollow Bastion and then it got its true name back.)

Matsuri walked down an alley after placing the two teenagers back into the care of their clearly angry parents. The alleyway's emptiness and sleek walls carried sounds well and how he heard the pitiful speech spoken in a familiar voice. Matsuri debated for a moment whether or not to let the water weirdo be aware of his presence.
He had only met Demyx once and had found his chosen persona to be rather annoying, but he wasn't completely useless. For one as a former member of Organization XIII he should know what they were up to and be able to tell Matsuri if those new heartless had any connection. His only other real use was his masterful control of his element his water beings to serve as distractions and also his ability to create geysers for defense offensive or even to reach places. Truly his power had plenty of options and to find the truth he'd likely have to face danger, danger he would happily though Demyx at to save himself.
Matsuri stopped in front of the downcast Demyx and mentally prepared for the act he was about to put on. "Hi Demyx long time no seem what’s wrong you've got an uncharacteristic sad feel about you today." He said in what he hoped was a convincing display of concern for a friend.

[Demyx]

Demyx put his hands down, looking up. He blinked, and swallowed hard. He thought, and then remembered who was standing in front of him. "Matsuri? W-What are you doing here?" He stood up, quickly trying to compose himself.

[Fujiwara]

Roxas sat in a wooden chair while waiting for the meeting to start. He briefly wondered where his other was at.

Axel came across a group of heartless, but he scorched them. He dusted his hands off. "Too easy" He dodged when he heard something whistling through the air, and turned to see a huge heartless. His eyes glimered as he summoned his chakram. "It's been too long since I had a decent fight" He said, then charged at the Heartless

[kukutaru_ookami]

Matsuri looked at Demyx in a sort of concerned way. "Well I came hearing the Organization had been defeated, I had to check for myself you know? I was just kinda wandering around when I heard a familiar voice talking about something stupid like being 'no good' or something. Well thats my story how did you survive, what have you been up to, and whats this nonsense your muttering about anyway your waay useful." A small inner voice told Matsuri that no nobody, not even Demyx, would believe this little kid routine he was playing. Matsuri believed his little voice and began thinking of a plan in case Demyx really did see through this.

[Demyx]

Demyx was not a complete idiot, and he didn't believe Matsuri considering he'd never fully liked him since the moment he first met him. But he played along, deciding now was not the time. "They were. I mean, I don't know who else is alive anymore. I heard something about Roxas, but I don't know who else. I was barely alive after my fight with Sora, so I've just kinda been around here and there since."

[Legendary_Esper]

((Haha, as much as I love your inqury its simple, I kept the original Hollow Bastion because thats the one I liked better, its completely different now anyways changed by the fact that it is the commandcenter for the "good guys" besides I liked it in the movie lol Beauty and the Beast was one of my favorites therefore its Hollow Bastion. I told you I was changing ALOT of things, its best just to go along with it ya?))

Sora was sitting down in a chair as well, looking around the room at his comrades and it surprised him to see that almost no one was here. Micky must still be out with Donald and Goofy on the border of the city while a few of the others are patrolling inside just incase they had another suicide heartless.

Aeris was crying off in a corner, not like a little girl but with great sadness. Leon stood up to take the front. "Listen up, Cid's scout party was intercepted in the quarter region, we were in communication and this...is the last transmission."

He flicked the remote to unveil the screen that had once been black to reveil a camera sequence. Tifa and Cid were arguing it seemed yet again at odds like they always were, with the others cheering in the background. However without sound they started acting strange, as in running around like they'd gotten their heads cut off. Sora watched with horror as he saw outside the gummi something that was...impossible...

A large shadowlike hand reached out from what looked like a black hole, only there were five fingers, as if a human hand was reaching out and grabbing there ship without hesitation sucking it in and disappearing.

The room was silent. Leon turned the screen off and sighed. "We don't know where they went and we haven't received any communaction from them." He took a breath. "We sent them after whatever this final heart was that Zansa is looking for..."

Sora perked up. "You had a lead?"

Leon shrugged slightly. "I wouldn't call her exactly a lead..."

"Excuse me it's inpolite to speak about someone while they are in the room!" An older woman, Phira, spoke up and walked from the shadows she had been hiding in. She looked at Roxas and Sora, there were only two keyblade wielders here... "I know many things that you should be thankful I came as I did...now...keyblade masters you should be wary of this world...for soon, your keyblades will become whole."

"Whole?" Sora was confused she didn't make sense.

"Haha...your friends will be fine...they will find Final Heart and everything will begin!" she laughed haughtly while swinging around in a circle.

"Tifa! This is..." Aladdin panted as they finally took cover in the entrance of the Castle.

"The rain was red!" she blurted out while trying to wipe it off quickly. It wasn't normal!

"Wow." Hercules said as he looked around the Castle that he had opened the gates of.

There was nothing inside. Absolutely nothing but a vast room and...well it was something he supposed.

In the center of the room was a grotesque conglomeration of heartless still in stone incarceration, but swirling as if they had been forming a mass of a creature, its waves around it spiked and had little hands of the creatures it was consuming. However, the most significant spot, was what the creature was holding in its grasp. Cast in stone at the peak of the monstrosity, was a young woman no older than Sora...perhaps even younger. She had a stern but gentle face filled with rage, her mouth open as if she were still screaming, her motionless eyes glaring at the beasts distorted face. Her right arm was up towards it with a half-opened hand as if she'd once been weilding a weapon, and her left hand eerily was semi-pulled out from the left side of her chest where her heart would be.

There was a gaping hole in her chest, that you could see into the other side of the room through.

"What happened here..." Tifa questioned aloud the thoughts that they were thinking.

"...This is where it started..." A voice rang out in the castle, a young boy appeared from air, a white pale face that scared them for one reason.

"Sora!?" Hercules was surprised but retracted his statment quickly.

"Soran." The young man corrected. "My name is Soran, and you are looking for Final Heart, correct?"

"Yes! How did you know?" Tifa questioned.

"...You cannot get Final Heart without getting her heart whole again." He stated. "Your ship is fixed. You must leave, this place is not for the light...when the four pieces return together...return and awaken Final Heart."

He dissappeared leaving them in awe.

[kukutaru_ookami]

Matsuri nodded thoughtfully and took the chance to weigh the options. The first was that Demyx had somehow believed that utter crock, in which case he and to simply keep playing along. The other, more likely option was he saw through it out and was simply continuing the act for some reason.If it was the latter Matsuri could simply drop the stupid pretense or continue to play along as well. In case it was the first Matsuri decided to keep playing; "wow sounds like you've had it rough. And these new heartless are certainly no friends of ours and they're abundant here, so I'm leaving. Obviously we'd be safer together but since we barely know each other-"
Matsuri created a portal and took a step toward it. This was an attempt to force Demyx's decision and hopefully create a more illogical and, to Matsuri, more beneficial one.
