Riku walked slowly out of the darkness with Mai close to him. As he exited, he felt the famliar feel of sand. The smell of ocean water, and the sound of the waves. He knew where he was before he even saw everything. It was Destiny Islands. His own home. He almost fell over in surprise. He didn't expect to end up there, of all places.
At least it's safe...
He looked at Mai. "This place is my home. I don't think there's too much to worry about here."

"Wow..." She said a little stunned. "It's so cool!" She said with a smile as she ran towards the water. She stood in the water for a moment as she watched the waves and then turned Back to Riku, as she remembered she still had her shoes and socks on. She ran back onto the sand and sat down to take them off.
She put them beside Riku and ran back towards the water. "It feels so good!" She got her shirt wet, but she didn't jump straight in. She didn't want tobe ompletly wet. "And this is your home?" she said as she had never been to an island before.

Riku smiled and laughed as she ran into the water. "Yeah. I used to live here with Sora and Kairi--"
He had forgotten. He wanted to wait for them before coming back. He felt bad, but it was too late now. It's not like he could go back in time or anything. Not to mention that Mai seemed to take a liking to it. Being stuck in Hollow Bastion your whole life seemed dreadful to Riku. He walked over to the ocean and sat down.
"Still the same. That's reassuring..." He said, half to himself.

Mai ran over to Riku after a little bit with her hair all wet and fell down in the sand beside him. She looked just like the little kid she was. She sighed slightly and spread her arms out as she closed her eyes. She gave out a small laugh and a smile and the sun soaked her. Her hair was covered in sand, but how could she care?
Mai opened her eyes once again and looked around. There was no one around. "So...do you know the people that live here then? Got any friends here?"

Riku looked around. He noticed that there was no one there at all. Not even Tidus and Wakka. They were always there. Riku got a sinking feeling as he looked at Mai again.
"Yeah...I don't know where everyone is though..."
He looked out at the ocean and saw the town in the distance. Maybe that's where everyone was.
But in the middle of a nice day like this?
Riku stood up and looked carefully at everything, seeing if anything was out of place. Nothing was, but he was still suspicious.
"Stay here for a second." Riku walked quickly over to where the secret spot that he, Sora and Kairi claimed so long ago. He moved the vines out of the way and looked in. He heard a scratching noise coming from inside. He stepped away slowly from the cave as a white, wiggly thing flowed out like air. A nobody. Riku quickly drew his keyblade and jumped back. It attacked him, and Riku fell back some. He jumped back up, and with a couple of slashes, the monster poofed away.
He could hear more in the cave, however.

Mai lay silent in the sand though. She sighed as she watched Riku walk away. She wanted to follow, but she knew it best she didn't, he wanted her to stay. She dug her hand in the sand as she turned to lay in the sand, looking out at the ocean. Ever so often the water came to the sand and made it wet. As she dug a little it collected the water that came, making a small puddle before her.
Mai picked up some of the sand in her hand and pushed it around as it slowly drained into the water.

The day before Sora had just fought Axel, then later that night he had fallen asleep, comepletely exhausted from the battle, on the Papou Tree. Now, he opened his eyes slightly, and let out a yawn. Within a moment Sora's eyes were fully opened, and he then glanced around the island; catching a slight sillouhette of an old friend...
"Wait..." He said to himself. "R-Riku?" Sora rubbed his eyes in disbelief. Am I dreaming? That can't be Riku... Could it? And if it is, who's with him? He saw who appeared to be Riku walk into a cave, and it looked like he just finished fighting something. Sora couldn't wait any longer.
"RIKU!"
He took off in a sprint for where he had seen the sillhouette, and the other person. When he got there, he couldn't believe his eyes. There, standing in front of the old secret cave, stood Riku.
(the part where Sora fought Axel, that was in another thread. Axel and I haven't finished though, so we don't know the outcome yet. Anyway, yeah. ^^)

(ok!)
Mai heard someone yell to Riku. She quickly turned over and dropped the sand in her hand. She jumped to her feet and looked in the sand as she realized she had forgotten her sword, she had no weapon. oh man, I havenothing to prtect myself... She thought as she watched Sora run to Riku.
Mai realized after amoment Sora meant no harm, and Mai pushed her skirt down. But, then she saw Riku and realized nobodies were nearby. "And I thought he said it would be fine...what ever!" She said beginning to head over there.

Riku heard his name from a familiar voice. He turned his head, still in the fighting stance. He couldn't believe it. It was Sora, running to him! Riku dropped his fighting stance slowly as his eyes widened.
"Sora! No way!"
Riku was about to run back to him, but before he could he was blown back by six nobodies. He fell back onto the sand and grunted as he hit the ground. He jumped up with his keyblade and got into a fighting position.
"Well, since you're here, mind helping out?" He called to Sora.

Mai stopped as she watched Sora and Riku. She would have to wait for she had no weapon at the moment. She looked around wishing swords just floated up on the beach. Hoping one would come right to her. She looked back at Sora for a moment and noticed him he was a keyblade weilder as well. She was surronded. She knew she had heard of both of them.
Mai sat back down in the sand as she watched them fight, but before she could get comfortable a nobody stood behind her, all she could do was watched the shadow over top of her.

Kairi wasn't sure what was going on, she had heard voices which got her heart to beat rather fast. She was unsure if this was all a dream, but it was the island from before, the island where she met Sora and Riku. Was it possible they were here? Kairi walked slowly on the beach and stopped hearing some voices. Ready for anything she took a deep breath and called out.
"Sora...Riku....Anybody??" she called

"Riku!" Mai yelled, as she knew not what else to do. She turned and looked at the nobodies, she always wanted to prove herself, and the moment she could she had no weapon. She looked at the nobodies and continued to back up as they came closer. She knew she was helpless.
Mai shut her eyes for a moment and fell back in the sand.

Riku didn't wait for Sora's response and started fighting off the nobodies. They were a deal more difficult than heartless. As he fought, he let out a series of combos and spins. Jumping off the head of one nobody, he flipped in the air and shot Dark Aura and a couple of them. As he fell to the ground, he turned his head to see a nobody behind Mai. He yelled to her and ran over. Before he got to run, he heard a familiar voice yell his and Sora's name. Looking back, he got distracted and used his Dark Shield too early.
It deflected a nobody too close to him and blew him back.
Was that Kairi!?
Before he could finish his thought, he remembered Mai and got to his feet. He wasn't sure if he'd make it in time, alls he could do was hope.

Hansy, in a random movement, touched down on another world. This one seemed, different. A 'lot' different. The peacefull swishing of the tides, the soft sand which the toes sunk into nicely, and the tropical trees, leaving flapping in the wind. It was a paradise, to some, to Hansy, it was just, too light. He covered his eyes as the sun shot down at it, and began walking across the beaches.
No one seemed to be there, or there as he walked onto a wooden walkway, which seem to lead to many places. A small island far off, a cave it seemed somewhere, some treehouses, a shack, but it all seemed deserted. Hansy turned a few times, looking for sentient life.

Mai saw a nobody jump at her, she quickly lifted her heavy boots and kicked it. She got up and began to run away from them, behind Riku. She looked at him. "Sorry, I don't have my sword." She said tohim, as she felt upset she was being so weak right now.
Mai looked at Sora as he continued to fight and then looked forward when she had heard the far off sound too, it was screaming for Riku and Sora, obiously someone looking for them.
