Updated April 29, 2008-Oh man, I don't know how many times I've said this, but once again, I am really sorry for the looooooooooooooong update. Writing this was a major pain, considering the big writer's block, and having a hard time noticing grammer/spelling errors. I really need to find someone to spellcheck slams head on desk but other than that, I'm happy to say that YSTH is still going strong! And even if I had some errors...or a lot, at least you somewhat get it, right? So, now we are in the chapter where it is somewhat similar to last time, only I fixed it to make it somewhat KH2 dream sequence along with making it a vision. So when you get to the part of the dream sequence, it's the one where the whole paragraph is in italic. Also, don't get confused during that paragraph where you see ether '-' or '-'. That means they've been cut off, and yes, it's suppose to be like that. Leaves the character hanging with who was who, and what are their names. I also want to add in the paragraph after the italic one. It's still dream sequence...sort of, but now with Yakko actually dreaming about something and such. Only the italics in that one are more like the words you see in KH games, like this one 'Don't be afraid. And don't forget.' Only this one has a voice and belongs to a villian.

Oh and one more thing: some parts of the chapter were referenced and inspired from Sailor Moon S season, episode 119-Goodness Eclipsed (Dub title) aka Awakening of the Messiah of Silence? Stars of Destiny (japanese title). Yes, I like Sailor Moon, gotta problem with that? Oh and just to be sure, don't get to grossed out on the last sentence of this story, because if you have seen Sailor Moon S, then you should know what I'm refering to. Unless, you think I should make this into a teen story?

Well, I think I've said what I needed to say. Got it memorized? XD Okay, I'm sorry, but I couldn't resist. Read and review, and NO FLAMES! Copyrights are down below. Enjoy!

The clock's hands shown it was about a quarter towards eleven. Already, Yakko was beginning to feel tired as he let out a small yawn. It might have not been much, but it was enough to tell him that he was sleepy. He didn't think it had to be the session that was boring: the couch was possibly too cozy. All words of speeches were lost for all he could hear from his siblings were nothing but 'Faboo' and 'I can't help it if I'm cute.'. They were probably already starting to drive the old man nuts.

Yakko finally couldn't hold himself staying awake for this: if it meant falling asleep during a session, so be it. He gently laid his head against the soft, comfy cushion and began to shut his eyes closed, losing all contents that stood around him and entering another realm. This place wasn't really a realm, but a land of dreams. Dreams come in as all sorts: good dreams, bad dreams, weird dreams, anything. Many people, mostly children, have these kinds of dreams all the time and seem to forget where they are for they say that it is a twist between reality and fantasy.

However, fantasy wasn't one that Yakko didn't know how to quite describe. For all he knew, fantasy and his world were never meant to be together. To put those two in the same room would cause the entire balance to break apart! It would even cause the apocalypse for even thinking of it. All toons that live here know that, even Yakko's obnoxious siblings.

Yakko slowly awoke where he could see nothing but darkness. Lying on the cold black floor, he saw that no light from day was leaked into this bleak place for there were no walls and no windows. Why were there no walls? Could it be possible that it wasn't a room at all? Could it be that this place may be his mind?

In the distant silence, Yakko began to hear something. A voice that sounded so innocent and so pure it was clear that it had belonged to a girl no older than a toddler's age. The voice giggled making it obvious that it was in a happy manner.

…

"Hi!"

"Uh…hi?"

"What's your name?"

"Um, my name? It's-"

In a flash, the voice was stopped before it spoke any longer, and was replaced with another. The voice that he heard this time came from a young boy who seemed to be startled from an utter daze.

"Wh-who's there?"

"…I've come to see the door to this world…"

"Huh? -"

Hearing the words, being cut off once more, sounds of strong winds, breaking glass and even people's screams filled inside his mind. Angry screams and some sobs from something that sounded like little girls.

"Top story tonight: rampage down at -! Main source: Freaky bug-eyed weirdo girls broke everything!"

"Please! Just let me go! My girls, they need me-!"

"Tied to the darkness…" The voice interrupted unexpectedly as the area grew quiet by this dark and sinister voice, "Soon to be completely eclipsed…-"

"Please, they're only little girls, who are probably cold, scared, and maybe even…-"

"Well whoever you are, stop freaking me out, -"

…

"W-where did you come from?"

"You do not yet know what lies beyond the door."

Door…

The sounds of small cries and fright cast over in his head as he hears cackling and evil laughter.

"Aw, what's the matter? Did somebody get lost?"

…

"There is so very much to learn…"

…

"No…please…I dare not listen. For I have been lashed by harsh tongues for too long…"

"You're not a monster. Monster's are evil."

…

"You understand so little…"

…

"Please… you're just trying to make me feel better. However, my pain is not for you to understand. Besides, how could you? For you are pure and innocent, and most certainly loved"

"A meaningless effort…"

...

"How could you know what it is to be cast out into a world that only offers misery?

How could you know what it's like for people to fear and despise you for the very things that make you special?"

...

"One who knows nothing can never understand nothing..."

..."Because you don't fit in! Because you are…"

...

"You know, - has changed a lot recently."

"What do you mean?"

"Well..."

...

"Our dad says that sometimes people get angry when they don't understand something special or unique."

"And if you just give people time, they'll start to understand your special ness."

"Yeah, you just gotta believe in yourself!"

...

"-, let's take the raft and go, just the two of us!"

"Huh?"

"Just kidding!"

"What's gotten into you? You're the one that's changed, -"

"Maybe..."

...

"You know, I was a little afraid at first, but now I'm ready. No matter where I go or what I see, I know I can always come back here. Right?"

"Yeah, of course!"

"That's good... - don't ever change."

"Huh?"

"I just can't wait. Once we set sail, it'll be great."

…

Hours have passed by, Yakko, lying on solid concrete, awoke from his deep slumber...or so he thought. He gazed his head at the scenery, the front lot of the studio, baffled on how he had gotten here. He raised himself up and began to wipe off the dirt he had spotted on his brown slacks. When he had removed all the clutter, he started to realize where he was standing! Having his thoughts coming back to him, Yakko began to make haste: bumping and squeezing through large crowds of people.

Unaware to his attention, a person in black attire fixed his eyes down at Yakko and sneered. He lifted both of his arms towards the sky, preparing for what he was about to do; he spoke out, "Ones born of the Heart and darkness, devoid of hearts, ravage all worlds and bring desolation."

Yakko's headshot in the direction of the voice as his feet came to a sudden stop. People around him, however, continued their way as if nothing was going on. Yakko stayed behind, trying to find the source of where he heard the voice. Trailing his eyes, Yakko had finally spotted something that didn't seem to fit in this world: a person standing on the edge of a building. For some reason, Yakko was getting a heavy feeling about what was happening, which caused his heart to quicken…something really bad was about to happen.

"Seize all hearts and consummate the great heart." The man had spoken. His words seem to slither from his lips as both palms of his hands began to glow in a faint shade of violet. Feeling the pulsation rise from his fingertips, the man decided to remove the hood that kept his face hidden. It was shown that he was no man, but an animal, no, more of a hedgehog? His long silver gray quills stayed firm as his cloak was blown against the wind.

"All hearts to be one, one heart to encompass all."

Yakko didn't know to ether call for help or try at least to stop him, but something was holding him back. Something about this hedgehog made him feel different from all the other enemies he and his siblings had stumbled upon, and it wasn't good. The violet shade from his hands had brightened as they were released from his palms and shot towards the sky. Yakko's fear was realized: the sky had unexpectedly turned black! Everything around him seemed to turn still. Not a single creature made a squeal or movement, only silence: a bad sign for this Warner.

The hedgehog had put his hands down, hanging against his sides. A smirk was revealed on his face as he made complete attention towards Yakko, "Realize the destiny: the realm of Kingdom Hearts."

An expression of confusion was displayed on Yakko's face: was this statement meant for him? Was this some kind of a warning? Wait, if this was a warning, wouldn't this mean that this is...a vision?

"What are you talking about?" Yakko had the courage to ask. He didn't receive a reply at first, only another sinister grin from the devious creature, "The great darkness is sealed within the great heart."

With that, the ground beneath his feat began to rumble, and Yakko was losing his balance. He fell over and landed on his front belly, groaning. Cracks were shown underneath his fingertips and began to make the floor crumble! Yakko didn't have time to think what was going on as he got to his feet and scampered to another area that was supposedly safe. Just in time as the ground crumbled away like gram crackers, leaving a big gapping hole in the middle of the street.

After that unexpected event, surprisingly, the hedgehog continued with his ranting, "Progeny of darkness come back to the eternal darkness."

"Does this guy ever shut up?" Were Yakko's choice of words as he began to get up.

"For the heart of light shall unseal the path."

Without warning, Yakko's feet were thrown into the air along with the rest of his body! He was at least 20 feet away from the ground below as he felt a summating heat creeping behind his back. He didn't see much, but gathered that something in the middle of the area must have exploded, but...there was nothing there? No building, no intoxicating chemicals, literally nothing. The area was just an empty space of a parking lot.

Yakko flung into the surface and crashed into the ground, head first. Spitting the dirt from his mouth, Yakko slowly lifted his head, hoping that the worst was over. It wasn't: it was just getting started.

The loud noises of the explosions continued to fill the air as ash and dust spread across the floor. After a moment of regrouping, Yakko used his arms to slowly lift himself off the ground, still feeling the concrete rumble beneath his feet. This time, Yakko was able to catch himself and kept his balance from falling. He grabbed a loose railing and held onto it before the magnitude grew violently wild.

"Seven hearts, one keyhole, one key to the door. The door of darkness, tied by two keys."

At this point, there was nothing that anyone could do. The town was crumbling away into dust and the people that once lived here were gone in a flash. Yakko couldn't understand why this was happening, or why he was only one to witness this. Holding on to the railing tightly, Yakko witnessed the city and it's inhabitants being lift from the ground and carried away into the middle of the sky. He held on for life as the winds were trying to carry him up along with everyone, but he refused to let go: it was not his time to die.

The hair on the back of his neck began to stand when Yakko saw something in the distance. At first, he had thought this was a savior that was going to help him, but his heart sank when he saw that it was a menacing creature. He couldn't see what it looked like for it was hidden behind a dark shadow. Only her eyes and mouth were visible enough to see, and they did not seem to be friendly. Her hair flowing with the wind with the cape on her back rested on her shoulders. In her hand, was a scythe that she held firm in her grasp.

Yakko could feel his heart leap to his throat as the girl raised her weapon with both hands. Two glowing red eyes shinned at him as dark pulsations swarm across her grasp, "The door of darkness to seal the light, none shall pass but shadows, returning to darkness." Yakko's jaw dropped as he stood petrified at the presence of the monster. She jumped from her spot and hurtled towards the boy with her scythe raised above her head.

"Ones born of the heart and darkness, hunger for every heart until dark door opens…"

The hedgehog spoke his final words as the scene faded away and scythe was struck down, leaving a trail of blood…
