The Hero Arrives-- Wait, again? (Completed)

Character(s): Sora and anyone else he might chance upon!
Content: Getting off the gummy ship and finding his friends gone, and a world that's unlike any other he's been to? Sora senses an adventure hidden in here somewhere.
Setting: The Vanaheim gate (top of F3)
Time: Afternoon
Warnings: None so far!

Sora had folded his arms over the controls on the gummy ship, and was enjoying a nice nap as they cruised the stars, looking for the king and Riku. It was the winding down of a finished adventure, Sora had figured, and within a week (because it was Riku of all people) he'd be back on his island with Kairi and Riku, and everything would be okay again.

It'd be incredibly boring after all the excitement of the past few months, but it'd be home again. If anything, they could take trips on the gummy ship and go to all the worlds he'd visited. They'd go to Halloweentown, Agrabah, and maybe Neverland. Sora smiled in his sleep, the thought fluttering across his consciousness. I forgot to tell Kairi I flew. I need to remember to do that next time...

It had been eventful in more than one way over the past few months, and sometimes when Sora was feeling sad, he wondered if things could ever be the same for him, Riku and Kairi. Riku had said mean things, and done some pretty awful things too. Sora had forgiven him, but part of him wondered if Riku'd forgive himself. No hard feelings, right? Hopefully. But first, he had to actually find Riku and the king. With Ansem soundly defeated, Sora (for the most part) had no doubt that they could resolve everything and go back to having races.

And, just between him and anyone who'd listen, he was positive he could beat Riku this time. He grinned, his thoughts taking him back to consciousness. He could do it, couldn't he? He'd gotten a lot faster and stronger and smarter!

Sora yawned and sat up sleepily, rubbing at the edges of his eyes. It took a few moments for the sight before him to actually settle in. He wasn't looking at the cosmos before him, but rather a gate of some sort, surrounded by white trees, grass, dirt, and pretty much anything else he could think of that shouldn't be white. In the midst of it all, two tall pillars that stood completely out of place. Sora's mouth hung open for a moment and he glanced around.

"Donald? Goofy? Jiminy?... Chip? Dale?" he called out, his call eventually ending in a slight whine. There was no answer back.

Had they left ahead of him, he wondered. Something in his gut gave a resounding 'no', and he frowned. And it wasn't like he knew how to pilot the gummy ship himself, either, he realized. He didn't even know if it was on! This was Chip and Dale's job! He was the keyblade master! He was supposed to save worlds from heartless, not figure out which buttons to push! He groaned and pressed the button to open the hatch door.

It was the only button that he knew he could press and not have the ship self-destruct.

As he walked along the path, closer and closer to the gate, he continued his calls for his friends, and by the time he reached the gate, his face was clearly dismayed and a little worried. Where the heck is everyone? The guards looked down at him, never showing much emotion past the pasted on smile on their faces. Sora, quite frankly, thought they were weird. He was staring at them quite intently when they finally spoke.

"What's your name?" one of them asked.

"Huh?"

"Your name-- what is it?"

"Oh! Sora!" Sora said brightly, placing his hands on his hips. "Who are you guys?"

The guards, however, didn't answer him. Instead, they shoved something in his face and said, "Here's your electronic journal. Enjoy your stay at Paixao."

Sora frowned at the little rectangular box being shoved in his face. He took it and turned it over in his hands. "... Electronic journal?" It was light, and he slipped it into his pocket with little thought, if only because the look the guard was giving him told him they were sick of his questions, and they wanted him to walk through the gate.

And after all, why shouldn't he? Donald and Goofy were probably already there, after all. He just... hadn't expected the city to be so full of hustle and bustle. Especially after the quiet outside.
