Chapter 1: Wrong Way Home

Start from the beginning
                                        

"So, how did you mess up getting these two home?" Sora's friend, Neku, asked curiously.

Neku was another newcomer, but he is a good friend of Sora's. Neku has spiky orange hair and purple eyes to match. He was wearing a purple shirt with a designer checkered jacket that he said a dear friend of his designed. He has a yellow band on his wrist and black pants. He has a pair of purple shoes on.

Sora glanced to Shulk, Rex, and Pyra who were holding their own laughing expressions. Shulk waved his hand as he reassured Neku with a warm expression.

"Oh, it was our fault. We should've been more specific" Shulk reassured as he nodded his head, "It started when we were standing outside of the mansion"

Most of the fighters were able to return home after their most recent adventure and ultimate fight. However, Shulk was able to pull Sora aside as he finished creating the way back for Cloud and Sephiroth.

"So, do you think you could send us home?" Shulk asked excitedly with a confused Rex and curious Pyra.

Sora blinked, nodded his head, and answered in an honest manner, "Oh yeah. I can send you home. If you tell me the name and think of the place, I should be able to create a gateway to return to your homes"

Shulk's eyes were wide with excitement. He couldn't wait to at least feel the power of a unique blade. As for Rex, he wasn't sure about this. It took both time and space for him to meet Shulk and Fiora. Rex may not understand as much as Shulk, but Rex had a feeling that this wasn't going to work.

"Ok, our home is Colony 9" Shulk answered excitedly as Rex and Pyra shared a nervous glance.

That wasn't their home. Sora nodded his head as he held out his hand to summon the Kingdom Key. He pointed the blade between Shulk and Rex with Pyra behind Rex.

"Uh, Shulk, are you sure about this?" Rex asked unsure.

"Hm? Oh, yeah I am! We will be able to get home using Sora's power! Along with the keyblade's!" Shulk answered excitedly.

Rex sighed as he glanced to Pyra.

"Should we say something?" Rex asked her worriedly.

Before Pyra could answer, a powerful swirl of energy appeared between them and a little farther away. A green and purple swirl grew into a giant oval gateway! Sora opened his eyes as he held it with both hands. Shulk was excited as Rex held a cautious expression.

"Ah!" Sora said worriedly as he felt something wrong with the gateway, "Gah!"

He felt a powerful, strong wave of energy backfire as Sora struggled to keep it open. Shulk and Rex were worried until Sora let out a powerful scream as the power reverted and struck him!

"Sora!" they shouted as they reached out to him.

The Keyblade Wielder hit the ground with a thud as he lost consciousness. His keyblade disappeared and caused the gateway to react violently! Shulk covered his face as Rex and Pyra held onto each other! The gateway pulled them in and was violently crashing in front of Sora!

"Sora!" The Luminary shouted as he rushed to grab Sora and pull him away from the collapsing gateway.

The Luminary has blond hair and blue eyes. He was wearing a long, purple shirt and brown pants. He still had his boots and bag on. His put his sword away and placed his shield in front of himself and Sora. The gateway exploded as the Luminary grunted in pain. Once the explosion ceased, he looked over his purple shield and was surprised to see no one standing there. He blinked, but he was sure he saw two others standing with Sora. What happened? He shook his head and turned his attention to the injured Keyblade Wielder. The Luminary picked up Sora and carried him back into the mansion.
