Kingdom Hearts: From Dusk 'Til Dawn

Kingdom Hearts: From Dusk 'Til Dawn is a fan fiction two-part series by an anonymous writer. It takes place after Kingdom Hearts II and it follows Sora, Donald, Goofy, Riku, and Kairi as they attempt to find the three Keyblade wielders that preceeded them. Joining them is also Roxas and Naminé, who are able to disconnect from their proper Somebodies at will.

Nightfall
Sora and Riku start talking about the Door to Light when Kairi approaches with Mickey's second letter in her hands. Reading it, they comtemplate its contents, with Naminé revealing to Sora the events that unfolded in Castle Oblivion. Remembering the lines, "There are memories asleep inside you. Those memory fragments connect to the future," they attempt to remember others that visited the islands. While remembering, Sora is swept into his Awakening by a large tsunami. There, he meets Ventus's heart, who explains to Sora what has happened to him before being disconnected from his body. He also tests Sora with a battle, to see if he is worthy of the Keyblade, as Sora was not meant to be a Keyblade wielder. With Roxas's help, Sora is able to defeat Ventus. Ven gives Sora his approval while Sora awakens. Sora, upon awakening, explains to Riku and Kairi his new journey, while Kairi gives Sora the Oathkeeper charm, telling him to hurry back.

A Journey Begins
Sora enters the Awakening after being left at the small island alone. Ventus explains how to use the Keyblade to travel to other worlds and explains to Sora that he must protect himself from the darkness that is spread throughout outer space. Roxas appears and gives Sora his black coat, which protects from darkness. After Sora reawakens, he puts on the coat and uses the Keyblade as a vehicle to get off of his world. His first thought is finding Disney Castle, so he can question the King about the letter. He finds a Gummi ship, with the pilot giving him directions to the castle. The pilot, however, is suspicious about what is going on, as Sora has the coat's hood up, hiding his face. The ship follows Sora as he travels to Disney Castle. As he lands, the ship lands and the pilot and passengers follow Sora as he searches for the King. He finally finds Mickey in the library, but Mickey summons his keyblade, curious at who the intruder is. As Sora tries to reveal his identity, he is attacked by the pilot, who happens to be Goofy, with Donald behind him. Sora quickly uncovers his face so that they would not attack him. Mickey tells Sora that Donald and Goofy will explain what was going on, and Goofy also shows Sora that Riku and Kairi were with them. The group of them goes to the courtyard to explain to each other what was happening, and after finding out more from each other about the three Keyblade wielders, Aqua, Terra, and Ventus, the group of them decides to work together to find the three of them. They go back to explain their plan to the King, but before they can, Xehanort shows up.

Xehanort had reformed into a Somebody after the destruction of Xemnas, and now mainly controls the Heartless. He attacks Sora, and the two of them are sent into a twisted version of the Awakening. Roxas helps Sora fight Xehanort. Roxas directly fights Xehanort while Sora tries to destroy Xehanort's Guardian, only succeeding after using te Keyblade's locking beam on it. However, Xehanort sends the two other Keyblade wielders into the abyss of the Awakening. When they wake up, they quickly heal themselves and explain their plans to Mickey. He agrees to their plans and asks them if they would do one more thing: Help him investigate the mysterious portal that is in the Hall of the Cornerstone.
