As the mighty ocean waves cleaved the island from the bustling town, there lay Sora upon the sandy shores, his visage tranquil and undisturbed. In the serene embrace of Destiny Island, he found solace, his mind untroubled by the shadows of the Heartless or the encroaching darkness.
Yet even in his tranquil repose, a dream stirred within him—a vision of Destiny Island mirrored in another realm, a twin begotten of the same ethereal fabric. What if he pondered, there existed another sanctuary akin to this, where the strands of destiny interwove in a dance of cosmic harmony?
"Sora!" cried Kairi. Sora pondered her happiness beside Namine. They returned to the island after the vanquishment of Ansem. More queries stirred within him, yet answers eluded him. "Riku bought ice cream. A new flavor," she stated. "Splendid."
She produced a trio of new Sea Salt Ice Cream flavors; banana, blueberry, and vanilla swirled with blackberry. "This one's salted," she indicated the blackberry. "But these two are not." She gestured to the blueberry and banana.
Sora arose from his recline on the sand. "Hand me the vanilla," he requested. Kairi proffered him the blackberry and vanilla swirl. He scrutinized the frozen treat, noting its lustrous exterior. He glanced at the sun, while Kairi gazed at the sea. His eyes widened. "Has the sea receded?" she queried.
Sora squinted and turned to the sea. He peered at the azure waters. "What's amiss?" Kairi regarded Sora. "Riku's at home," and the sea dwindled, yet the main island was obscured into a haze. "Sora..." she said, extending her hand. "What's occurring?" he murmured.
The waves surged violently. He retreated, and Kairi clung to his jacket. The waves surged upwards, and Sora summoned his keyblade, grateful for its persistence. What emerged from the sea's maw resembled a wooden toy. Yet, it bore a missive.
Permit the gentle radiance of the Aurora Beacon to guide you through the darkness lurking around every corner of the globe. As you journey forth, remember that a lone ray of hope can penetrate the darkness of despair, even in the darkest of nights. May the beacon's light illuminate your path and lead you towards the dawn of a new day, when the darkness will ultimately yield to light and a brighter future is in store. With faith and assurance.
Some words were obliterated. "What beacon?" Sora scrutinized the missive. He regarded Kairi, who stood with ice cream. "Would you prefer the other?" Thunder reverberated above, and the ice cream dissolved into the beach sands. "Sora!"
"What in the..." he gazed at the darkening sky, and his heartbeat slowed. Those identical wooden toys plummeted from the heavens. They alighted upon the beach, and as they first arrived, they began to stand. Their heads ignited. And they extended their hands, conjuring wooden keys.
Speak with us, Oh wayfaring traveler.

* Summon: Ifrit
Description: Sora calls upon the fiery demon Ifrit, a powerful entity known for his association with fire and destruction in the Final Fantasy universe. With a roar that shakes the earth, Ifrit emerges from a blazing inferno, wreathed in flames that dance with malevolent energy. As Ifrit joins the fray, the battlefield becomes engulfed in searing heat, causing enemies to falter in the face of his overwhelming presence.
Ifrit's Special Attack: Hellfire: Ifrit channels his fiery rage into a devastating attack, summoning pillars of flame that erupt from the ground beneath his enemies. The intense heat incinerates foes caught in the inferno, dealing massive damage and leaving them scorched and weakened. The flames rage uncontrollably, consuming everything in their path before dissipating into embers.
While Ifrit remains on the battlefield, his fiery aura enhances Sora's attacks with additional fire damage, engulfing his Keyblade in flames that sear through enemy defenses. Ifrit's presence inspires courage in Sora and his allies, boosting their strength and fortitude as they face the darkness.
After unleashing his fury upon Sora's enemies, Ifrit returns to the realm of fire, leaving behind a trail of smoldering devastation. With Ifrit's power at his command, Sora gains a formidable ally in his quest to vanquish the forces of darkness and restore balance to the world.
In the heat of battle, Sora raised his Keyblade high as the wooden toys brandished their own makeshift blades. With a thunderous cry, he unleashed a bolt of lightning, striking one of the toys with a blinding flash [-40]. As the wooden creature dissipated into flames, it became clear that these adversaries were not heartless, nor did they resemble them in any way.
Suddenly, another assailant emerged from the shadows, inflicting a sharp cut on Sora's arm [-11].
"Enough!" Sora declared, hurling his keyblade at the approaching toy before summoning it back to his hand. "From our embers, draw the power to overcome," spoke the mysterious toy, its voice carrying an otherworldly resonance.
"What are you?" Sora demanded, his confusion mounting.
The wooden toy's head ignited with a brilliant flame, unleashing a torrent of fire from its mouth. Swiftly, Sora deflected the flames with a deft twirl of his Keyblade, while invoking a protective barrier of swirling winds with the incantation "Aero."
"Together, we shall light the path to victory!" one of the wooden toys proclaimed with fervor.
As Kairi joined the fray, summoning her own Keyblade, she questioned Sora about the origins of their unusual adversaries. "What are they?" she inquired; her voice tinged with concern.
"I don't know," Sora admitted, his attention focused on the relentless onslaught of the wooden toys.
With a determined resolve, Kairi lunged at one of the wooden creatures, her keyblade poised for battle. "Are they from the Toy Store?" she speculated, seeking answers amidst the chaos.
"I don't know!" Sora replied tersely, parrying a clumsy strike from one of the wooden assailants. Its eerie whistling noises filled the air, adding to the surreal intensity of the encounter.
And lo, as the battle raged on, the enigmatic torches, imbued with an otherworldly presence, revealed to Sora their true nature.
"We are but guardians of the flame," they said in unison, their voices resonating with an ethereal timbre. "Forged from the embers of forgotten realms, we have been called forth to aid you in your time of need."
Their flames danced with radiant intensity, casting flickering shadows upon the battlefield. "Though our forms may be humble, our spirits burn with the strength of a thousand suns," they proclaimed, their fiery gaze fixed upon Sora with unwavering determination.
"We are the keepers of the light, entrusted with the task of illuminating the path to victory," they declared, their words ringing out with solemn reverence. "Together, we shall stand against the encroaching darkness, for in unity, there lies our strength."
With these words of guidance and support, the torches stood tall alongside Sora, their flames burning bright amidst the chaos of battle. And as the clash of steel and magic echoed through the night, they remained steadfast in their resolve to assist him on his journey to restore light to the world.
And it came to pass that from the depths of the sea they emerged, their weary forms trudging along the desolate sands. Kairi, standing by the boat's end, gazed upon the horizon with longing in her heart. She saw nothing as unknown hands dropped a torch on her, and a cry of anguish escaped her lips, carrying upon the winds like a mournful lament.
As Sora turned his gaze upon her, a torch leaped upon him, shrouding him in a veil of darkness. His vision obscured, he found himself engulfed in a sea of wooden legs, their twisted forms a grim testament to the dire circumstances that had befallen them. And amid this chaos, a voice rang out with chilling clarity:
"We are the Torches!" it proclaimed, a false Keyblade raised defiantly to the heavens. "There are no Heartless where we come from!"
With a heavy heart, Sora felt himself lifted from the ground, his hands bound behind him by cruel hands that showed no mercy. "Seize the girl!" They cried out, their voices filled with malice, as they bore Kairi away, her struggles futile against the tide of darkness that threatened to consume them all.
