A little something I've been working on. A big thanks to *TwilightNight* for helping me get this thing started. I plan on making a new adventure start two ex members of everyones favorite evil Organization. Rise of the Blackhearts: Prologue, Igniting the Flame. The last thing he recalled was opening a portal so that the Keyblade master could reach the world that never was. It was no wonder he blacked out at that point. He used every last ounce of his power to summon enough flames to save the Keyblade master. He awoke standing in pure shadow. Then a light surrounded him, not a bright shimmering light, but a dull grayish light. He realized he was standing on top of a stained glass floor, and saw an image of a man portrayed. The glass itself appeared dull and from lack of proper care. Even some of the glass was cracked or missing. Axel barely recognized the figure. Looking deeper he peered into it. He saw other faces around the figure. Faces of long ago. It disturbed him knowing that he was trying to bring back something hidden deep within his soul, but he failed to remember it. Then he traced the image of main figure. He had his hair neatly combed, he was wearing black slacks and a collard shirt with a red tie. But that face, it was missing. Only half the face was showing. Those, eyes… they looked so… sad. Bewildered, he heard a voice call out to him. “Axel…†He look up at the source of the light. It was a moon in the shape of a heart, dull, gray and fading. “Axel…†it repeated. “What’s going on?†was his reply. “You have been called forth by Kingdom Hearts.†the luminescent body replied. Noticing how dim the light was. “You’re Kingdom Hearts? Oh how pathet…†he thought to himself “WAIT!, Kingdom Hearts?!†he exclaimed interrupting his own thought. “Does this mean I get my heart back?!†He began to dance around, as if excited. “You have been called to save the worlds.†Folding his arms and realizing he was showing too much excitement. “What’s going on here?†“Darkness will consume your void if you fail to fill it with light…†He was getting annoyed that the disembodied voice seemed to be dodging his questions. The fading light began to trickle down. “Axel, your time is short, I will grant you power to fulfill your quest.†Just then three pillars appeared one bearing a sword, another a staff, the third held a shield. “Choose, the power of strength, the power of magic, or the power of defense.†Eyes what lay before him, he analyzed the situation at hand. As he looked at the sword, he felt powerful and mighty. As he looked at the staff, he could feel the warmth of his fire. He looked at the shield, and somehow felt sturdier. He placed his hand on his chin. Analyzing the situation. “I would rather take a friend than be strong and stuff like that.†“So be it…†As the pillars faded from existence, a key fell from the sky. Axel noticed a key filled with magic or light, but a plainly ordinary key. Axel bent down to pick it off the floor. “Is this some kind of joke?†he thought. Palming the unimpressive looking key in his hand. He placed the key within his robe. “It can unlock the other side of someone’s heart.†Axel then immediately knew the significance of that key. “Why me? What’s so special about me?†“You’re a nobody, the only nobody with a sense of justice. Though you lack a heart, your soul bears great light.†He thought to himself “this must be a job only a nobody could do, but why?†“I have restored your soul, but am two weak to reclaim your body. You must now reclaim your body, you will need it to finish your quest. Succeed in your quest, and you will regain your heart, fail, and lose your body and your soul to the Blackhearts.†Axels eyes seemed to glaze over as he heard those words. “Reclaim my heart? Tell me how.†There was no reply. The image above him just faded into blackness. “Oh brother, now I’m alone in dark.†Looking down as if discouraged. Just then a hiss was heard. “What?†Turning around. He couldn’t tell where it came from. Looking around frantically, all he saw was darkness. Axel used magic to ignite a flare directly above him. What the flame revealed was terrifying. An anatomically correct heart, made of black. It was walking towards him, but stopped when it saw the fire. It was “bleeding†out unto the ground. But it was not blood which poured out, but pure darkness. “Oh what in the world… a heartless?†No, it was something just as sinister, but different. The thing leaped forth. Axel dove to the side. After he realized the thing missed. He placed his hands out to the side like a gunslinger ready for a shootout. But nothing happened. “Oh, no… I don’t have them. Oh well, looks like I gotta do this the old fashion way.†Axel fired two quick fireballs, one from each hand. The beating heart . Evaded, and leaped forth again. Axel responded by generating a fire barrier to protect himself. The entity bounced off, seemingly to be shocked by Axels power. “What are you?†Axel said. The thing reared up, and to Axels surprise, seemed to understand. “Whaaat….Aree… Youuu?†The Thing hissed back. “Black… Heart…†Axels eyes widened… as if filled with terror. The thing leaped once again. This time Axel dove forward underneath the Black Heart. Surrounding himself with flame while sliding just inches below the Blackheart. The Blackheart burst into flames. The Creature turned around, still flaming. “You… are… strong…†The thing hissed. It finally out a deafening scream as it faded from existence. “What was that thing?†“You defeated the Bleeding Heart, a rather weak blackheart attempting to consume your body. Time to wake up. My power is go…†“What, Kingdom Hearts is out of power?†his only response was silence. Then a portal opened up. Axel could hear the sounds of waves breaking on a beach. He felt the key within the robe. He stepped through the door. Knowing that a new adventure awaited.
Its obvious the Xehanort from Kingdom Hearts 2 is not the Xehanort from Kingdom Hearts Birth By Sleep. Xehanort is apperantly the bad guy in Birth by sleep. Many people, myself included, initially assumed that Xehanorts apprentice was in fact the Xehanort of Kingdom Hearts 2. Wrong. Xehanort from KH2 is Terra. They made it obvious in the first teaser trailer. When Terra see's Vez thrown off the cliff by Xehanort, he becomes enraged and his eyes change from blue to a fiery orange. The same fiery orange as Xehanort from KH2, and "Ansem" from KH1. I dont think square actually meant to hide this fact either since they did give Terra and KH2 Xehanort the same haircut. MORE EVIDENCE: "One legend said the keyblade master saved the world, wheras another said he wrought ruin and chaos upon it" Evidently, a keyblade master started off as a hero, then became a villian. If, Terra saved the world from Xehanort, he would have saved the world he would be a hero. But if Xehanort's spirit took over his body, in the same way his spirit took over Riku's body in KH1, He would be a villian. He seems to have a preference for chosen keyblade masters. EVEN MORE EVIDENCE: The Enigmatic Soldier scene. This is, without a doubt,Terra. But Terra seems a little disoriented. He accuses Sora, of being Xehanort. And whats more, he hesitates, and studders when saying Xehanort. He probably accuses Sora because he recognized it wasnt Riku. But I'm pretty sure at this point he knew what Xehanort looked like, and probably knew Xehanort had the power to take over someone else's body. Also, why would he studder to say Xehanorts name. I believe it might be because his mind is being currupted by Xehanort.
