Corrupted Data Pt.2

Previously: Pt.1

The sound of waves washing down on a familiar shore filled Sora's ears as he slowly opened his eyes. When he did, he saw he was laying facedown in...sand? When he fully opened them, he saw he was back on Destiny Islands! But how can that be? The last thing he re was he was at Disney Castle, Mickey telling him about these bugs, and the...Datascape.

He got to his knees as he looked around, and yep. He was definitely on the islands...not on his, but the Datascape's. His hands clenched into fists, also ing who he was talking to.

"Negativity.." He muttered. As he stood up, he heard voices. Voices that were definitely familiar to him.

"What do you think it was?"

"No idea. But it definitely sounded like it came from here."

Sora didn't know what to do. Whether to see who the people are, or run for it. But he went with the one thought that came to his head; Hide!

Sora quickly ran inside the little entry that lead to the paopu tree, as he shut the door, hoping he didn't get caught. To his success, he didn't, but he heard the voices talking again.

"Strange. I thought I saw something over here."

"Maybe it was just a piece of driftwood?"

"I doubt that. There are footprints leading there."

Sora tensed as he heard the footsteps approaching where he was hiding. Ever since Riku and Kairi kept him at the islands, that's all he's been doing. Not being out in the open. He's just used to running and hiding.

Sora quietly ran up the stairs right as the door opened. He ran out the other side, as he quickly put the hood of his jacket over his head, covering his eyes. He jumped off the side of the hill right as the other door opened. He tried to get the door open, but that's when the two people noticed him.

"Hey!" One of them exclaimed. Sora didn't bother to even look at him and he quickly got the door open, and ran to the other part of the islands.

"Who was that?"

"I don't know. But it looked like he was scared. He went to the back of the Islands where we have our races."

"Maybe he's shy."

I guess so. But c'mon. We should go after him."

Sora was hiding in one of the old caves as he was catching his breath. This couldn't be real he told himself. This can't be. How come Mickey never told him this place would be connected to him in a way?

Because of his memory loss...he's starting to forget who he is. What he did. Why he did it. He doesn't know who he is anymore..

"Hey! We know you're back here!" Sora silently winced as he heard one of the voices speak.

"It's okay! We won't hurt you! We just want to know who you are!" The other voice said. Sora put both his hands on his head, trying to block out the voices, but it didn't work.

"Alright. Let's go find him then."

Sora hugged his knees as he stayed silent, hoping he wouldn't be found. This was what he hated. Familiar voices that aren't there. Illusions. Fakes. Imposters. He hates it all!

It's only been a few seconds, until he heard a small voice gasp.

"Hey! I found him!"

When Sora slowly looked up at the voices. His eyes couldn't have been any wider. He couldn't believe who was in front of him.

It was him and Riku when they were fifteen.

The Sora in front of him had his hands on his knees, staring at him as the younger Riku stood beside him. Sora shook his head as he tried to back into the cave, but it was a dead end. He couldn't believe this...it was real. They were right in front of him.

Hey, it's okay. We're not going to hurt you." The Sora assured as he gestured his hand out to him. Sora hesitated...but he grabbed it as he crawled out of the cave. When he stood up, he noticed he was definitely taller than the two. Almost by two to three feet.

"Uh...S-Sorry.." Sora stuttered not knowing what to say about them. "I guess...I get shy.."

"It's alright. We heard something back on shore. And I guess it was you." Riku said as he crossed his arms.

"Uh...r-right.." Sora laughed nervously, making sure the hood stayed over his head.

"Anyway, I'm Sora. And this is Riku." The fifteen year old said. "What's your name?"

"U-Uh...well, you see...I uh.." Sora struggled to think of what to say. What WAS he suppose to say? Was he suppose to say; 'Hey! My name is Sora too! Only I'm older'!, What in the name of Kingdom Hearts did he want to say?!

But while that was happening, Sora gasped as he saw a certain darkness in the air as he had an orb of Darkness in his hand, and he threw towards them.

"LOOK OUT!" Sora got behind them, brought out his keyblade, and casted reflectaga around them. The two boys' eyes widened by this, and they looked in his direction.

"Well, good to see they made it to you." Sora growled as he recognized the voice.

"Negativity.." He growled as the two boys looked confused.

"You know him?" Riku asked as the barrier around them disappeared.

"Oh, we more than know each other...Data Riku." Negativity remarked as Sora looked at him and the other Sora. Negativity then looked at Sora.

"Haven't you figured it out, yet? This entire place is the Datascape. Sure, I was useless and weak outside. But when I have the bugs by my side. I control the ENTIRE datascape!"

"Hey!" Negativity looked at the other Sora as Sora and Data Riku looked at him. "What do you want with him?!"

"Well...Data Sora, he has something that I need. He has his memories, and I need them back. Isn't that right, Sora?"

"..." The two data boys looked at him as he had his keyblade clenched tightly in his hands. Sora looked away for a moment, until he screamed as loud ad he could, jumped off the ground towards Negativity. He only smirked as Sora tried to hit him, but he dodged it as he grabbed the hood of his jacket, and threw him at the wall as he grunted in pain and his hood came off his head as he hit the ground.

Negativity chuckled as he slowly floated towards him. Sora tried to stand up, but he fell as his keyblade disappeared. To his surprise, Data Sora and Riku both got in front of him defensively.

"Don't make another move!" Data Riku exclaimed as he and Data Sora got into a defensive stance.

"Hmph...Even when you don't what happened, you still have guts on defending the real things." He muttered to himself. Sora gripped his keyblade and he weakly pointed it at him as he wasn't noticing.

"...Fire.." He casted firaga at him and it hit him as screamed in pain. Sora smiled victoriously to himself, before dropping it, and falling back to the ground.

"Grrr.." Negativity shook his head as it still burned as he looked back down at Data Sora and Riku. "Hmph. Looks like he still has more fight in him after all. For now, I'll leave you alone. But you.." He looked directly at Data Sora, who still held his ground with a glare on his face.

"You have no idea what's going to happen next." He said as he disappeared in darkness. The two boys looked at Sora behind him, and they noticed he wasn't moving. They both knelt down beside him, and they rolled him onto his back, now seeing he was unconscious.

"...Who was that guy?" Data Sora asked as Riku checked to make sure Sora was okay.

"He did say his name was Negativity." Data Riku said referring to Sora. Data Sora looked down at him and he frowned becoming concerned for him.

"What should we do with him?" He asked Data Riku.

"...Let's put him somewhere safe to rest in. Help me move him." Data Riku answered as he wrapped one of Sora's arms around his shoulders. Data Sora nodded his head did the same with his other arm, and they started to drag him back to the main area. Data Sora looked at him, and he now noticed the dark, yet faint scar over his right eye.

"Another...me...?"
