This story goes back, from when Sora wasn't even born. At one point in the story it involves the knights. Enjoy. Chapter I ---- “Darkness.....is it the only way to find justice?" “For us yes, you've had enough of light. We never got to feel it within us..." “Well it’s your own fault, you went to the darkness on your own free will!" “Fool, you know that’s a lie! We, we were shoved to the darkness. Soon, we embraced it, and now so will the rest of you." “Like I would let that happen anyway." “Ha, you won't be able to stop us. Ounce we obtain the crystal, you have no choice but to bow down. We will find it, the twilight crystal!" ---- The red head opened his eyes slowly, but he couldn't see anything. The blinded man lifted his body up, sitting on his bed while trying to observe his surroundings. When he placed his hand on the bed, it was like he could see everything in his tiny domain. He rushed out the bed and faced towards the light blue sky. His eyes were a faint grayish color but it seems to be surrounded by a black color. When he walked over to the window he heard a soft knock on the door. “Umm, you awake yet Jin?" A smile formed from his lips as the voice called out to him. “Yes Reina. You can come in." Reina walked into the room, slowly opening the door in the process. She looked at Jin and smiled softly. He had on his usual sleeping clothes, a black t-shirt, and a pair of green shorts. But she could never figure out how he knew those were his clothes. “Good morning Jin, it’s nice to see you up and running." After she spoke he looked towards her direction and smiled," It seems you’re lively as well." Jin seemed like he was looking straight at her. “Umm Jin, I know this is a bother.....but we have work to do." Jin sighed," Great, more work. I'll just change." Jin had a feeling of work today, he could smell the metal off of Reinas armor. Reina stepped outside the door and took a breather. “It seemed like Jin could see again. I wish I could see his purple eyes again, those beautiful ey-" Jin opened the door and looked towards her, he was grinning for some reason. “What are you talking about Reina? I heard you say something about eyes." “No no, it was nothing. Now wipe that grin off your face Jin." Jin could tell she was ready for what was about to take place. Reina and Jin had their armor on and soon they were walking down a hallway. Before you know it, more and more people showed up. Most in armor, but some in army gear while carrying rifles. Jin, Reina, and the rest of the soldiers met in a room where there were chairs with letters engraved into them. Jin and Reina found their seats and sat together as usual. A blue haired soldier in armor nudged him. “Well well Jin, looks like you and Reina are spending some more time together." Jin had a faint blush on his face," Shut up Felix, we've been hanging out since we were little." Felix ignored and started singing that annoying love in a tree song. But suddenly there was a voice. “Listen soldiers, this is important." It was for nothing though, the soldiers kept talking. Jin, Reina, and Felix tried to settle them down before something bad happened. But it was too late. “Fortunes of time, lend me your power!" Suddenly everything went quiet, every soldier had gone to a stop. They were all frozen in their place, it was if time had stopped but it was only towards the soldiers. In seconds, the effect wore off and everyone went quiet. They seemed to be a little frightened. A tall man, dressed in an armored suit and a black cape started to speak. “Now, since I have obtained your attention, lets go over the mission." He was about to speak but some idiotic boy stood up, looking as if he's drunk. “What’s there to say? We go and destroy something as usual." The strange boy looked as if he was smart, but interrupting the commander was a big mistake. It wasn't expected of what happened next, the commander smiled. “Exactly but not just any ordinary thing. The creatures from the darkness, and their leader. Yes, Zeon." Everyone, including Jin gasped at his words. This is when Jin stood up, and he was staring straight at the commander. “But, are we ready to take on the lord of darkness? Why are we having such an important job?" Anyone would be asking this question at the moment, it was like the commander didn't know who Zeon was. Zeon a.k.a the lord of darkness was a menace to the worlds. Being abandoned from the light, he set out darkness, consuming it and its evilness. He goes to destroy all light, hopes to have the universe at the palm of his hand. He's committed horrible crimes, from the past and present. He has slaughtered many, and they weren't push overs. It seems he has a son but no one knows who he is, but hopes he doesn't plan to follow in his fathers foot steps. “Jin, nice to see you’re awake. I know of his power, but together we can stop him. We have gotten stronger, and now it is time to end the madness." Jin agreed they have gotten stronger but he still had his share of doubts. Reina smiled and used Jins arm to push him back in his chair. “Don’t worry Jin, i'll protect you from danger." Jin had a red streak go across his face, that’s when everyone started to go crazy," Ohhhh! Reina and Jin, sitting in a tre-" “That’s enough! You people are going to cause me wrinkles. How the hek am I gonna hold my sanity..." The boy from before stood up again," The restrooms down the hall sir." The room was completely silent for about three seconds. The commanders’ head was red, and it wasn’t because of a blush. Everyone started laughing, but the commander smacked his forehead. You could hear the laughter from outside and all the way to the other building. Reina then made a stand," Shut up! You’re all so immature! Go on commander." She said that last sentence with a sweet voice, obviously trying to hide her laughter. The commander got his senses back and explained the mission upon the soliders. “Now, Zeon is going to Zanzibeir Island, an enchanted world where about anything can happen. You'll have to watch your back though, he is looking for the item that decides our fate. The twilight crystal. Remember? It’s called that because it can either be chosen to achieve the ultimate light or the ultimate darkness. We of course are the light, but Zeon is the darkness. We mustn’t let him get the crystal, cause then we’re finished for good. Any questions?" Everyone started to raise hands but Jin and Reina didn't. Jin was in his thinking mode and Reina stared at him out of concern. “Jin, what’s wrong? Are you really scared?" Jin smiled, lifting up from his thinking position. “Of course not Reina, but i'm worried about all of us. Zeon is strong, and I don't even know if all of us will beat him." Reina couldn't resist, and she was happy that people were too busy asking questions. She wrapped her arms around Jin, he was surprised of course. “Oh Jin, you worry too much. We will be fine, Zeon isn't gonna stand a chance. I'm actually glad we have this mission, we will save the universe. Zeon has destroyed enough worlds, killed too many." Reina smiled again and Jin smiled back. It was saddening though, he knew she was smiling so brightly. But he could never see her sweet smile anymore. There’s a little more to the eye problem. Zeon did it, he took his eyes away from him with his darkness. Zeon tried to take over a world they visited, for a peace treaty. But Zeon was trying to take over it, Jin tried to stop him but Zeon took something. Everyone needs eyes, but Zeon took them. He would never forgive. Jin was rid of his eyes because of Zeons darkness, this is what got him pumped. “You’re right, we're gonna kick his butt back into the light. And maybe I may get my eyes back..." Reina didn't hear though because she was too busy from trying to control her blush reactions. Her face looked like an apple, but only after she hugged Jin. After everyone was done asking questions, the commander set the departure time. Jin and the others were set to leave in three hours, just to get supplies. Ounce Jin and Reina had their supplies, they had an hour and thirty minutes left. Jin and Reina went to the usual place, on the roof of the building they were in. They observed the sky, it was so luscious, at least that’s what Reina would say. Even though Jin couldn't see, he could feel the rays come down on him, and he was just happy to be there. But Reina had something on her mind ever since they left the gathering. “Jin, your gonna be okay right? I mean this is really big and you don't have your eyesight." Jin closed his eyes and smiled, Jin seemed happier than most blinded people. “Now look who's worrying. I'm still a good fighter, even with out my sight. I think i'm even better. I don't concentrate on what I see but what I feel. It’s much better." Half of what Jin said was true, but only because he wanted his eyesight back. Besides fighting, it made everything difficult. Like school and hanging out with Reina. How he wanted to see her smile, at least just one more time. “You know, it’s not healthy to space out so much.” Jin grinned and sat up, “It’s not healthy to talk to yourself either.” She sent an evil glare at him but he just laughed. Jin stood up and stretched, the armor they wore was heavy. But since they’ve been training, it’s like wearing regular clothes. Jin closed his eyes, Reina looked up at him and stood up. “We’d better get there early, so we can take one of the good ships.” Jin lifted his arm, and placed his hand on the left armored shoulder. It seemed he had pressed something on his shoulder, like a secret button. Suddenly a glow came from the neck area of the armored suit. It growed and growed until it got into a form of a helmet. Jins face was now covered with his metal helmet, it had two spikes coming from the ear area and all the way back. Reina did the same thing except hers looked like a bicycle helmet from the top. The two armored companions charged to the departure port, along with some others. “Looks like we weren’t the only ones who thought up this plan. But of course, we’ll be first anyway.” Reina ran faster than most people, even the older ones. Jin wasn’t as fast but he could keep up with her at this pace. She charged through the doors, pushing them aside as if they were paper. Eventually she made it there, along with Jin, but everyone else was left in the dust. Jin smiled as Reina started to cheer herself, but she stopped as she examined the ships. Some were black, but the others were some strange colors. Reina had that puzzled look. “I still don’t understand these….gummi ships. The only types of gummies I like are the bears.” Jin started to laugh, “Well, these are gummi ships. And i’m pretty sure your not suppose to eat them Reina….hey, look sharp.” He could feel the commander close by. The commander was too busy talking to the people Reina had left in the dust though. He was saying something about how could a girl run faster than all the boys. The women in the group seemed to be laughing for some reason. When he was done, he walked over to them and grinned slightly. He could recognize the two but he didn’t have on his helmet. “Fifteen minutes and we departure, go ahead and pick your ships.” Jin and Reina nodded, “Yes sir!” They walked over to the black gummi ships, they were the strongest out of the group. Jin could tell which one was the black, only because it has the strongest aura out of them all. Reina looked at Jin, her smile seemed to fade a little. “Good luck Jin.” “Oh come on Reina, you make it sound like this is our last moments together.” “But you know how you are in space, you can’t just feel Jin. If an enemy comes you have all these other ship auras. Just stay by me okay?” Jin sighed, he never really thought about it that much,” Alright Reina, you win.” She smiled, “I know, I like winning.” She giggled then jumped into her gummi. Jin did a slight laugh and jumped in his. All the preparations were set, they just had to wait for the others. After everyone got into their ships, the commander went on the radio. The engines off the gummi were loud so you could only hear his voice lowly. Even though he was practically yelling at the top of his lungs. “Black Alpha 10, get ready for take off! 5, 4, 3, 2…” Both Reina and Jin took in some air before the take off countdown. Reina was full of positive but Jin could only think, “What will Zeon do to me when we meet? No, I must defeat him....” “One!!” Both Reina and Jin yelled at the same time the commander said it. The floor beneath the gummi seemed to break as the black ships glowed a color of purple. In an instant, Black Alpha 10 shot up into the air. It seems that they have disappeared. The other ships went through the same process, they were warping into space. When warping occurred, it was nothing to the human eyes but is different with the person doing it. It’s like your going through a tunnel of light, and a white glow is at the end. The tunnel was long but it was only a few seconds before they dispersed out of the warp hole, formally known as a worm hole to them. BA10 had reached deep space, and Zanzibeir Island was in sight. Soon all the other ships had arrived and they were amazed they had gone so fast. It was less loud out in space, so communication could be easier heard. The area of the universe they were in was of course black, a shining blue comet had shot not too far. Small meteors were floating around, also stars could be seen from a distance. From space they seem to be a lot brighter than from home, but that also meant that Zeon was close. Stars are attracted to darkness, one of the reasons we ended up finding Zeon. The commander started talking about safety procedures and such, but Jin was distracted. He could feel Reina and the others, they were actually all behind him, except Reina. He canceled out the commanders’ radio and linked his to Reinas. “Hey Reina, do you see something by Zanzibeir? I feel something strange…” Reina turned her gummi to Zanzibeir, she zoomed in on the black dots. “Let me check for you.” After a while she went silent, and Jin was getting concerned now. “Reina? What’s wrong?” Suddenly there was a large explosion, a ring of fire was formed right beside Jin. He could feel one of the auras slip away, and the fact that his ship was shaking wasn’t good. Reina let out a horrid scream. “Felix!!” Jin was stunned by her spoken word. That blown up ship was Felix, Jins friend. He could hear Reina crying over the radio, but then the commander over took the signal. “Dang it! Why didn’t you stop it Reina?!” Jin now knew why she had fallen silent, and he faced towards the black dots. He quickly put everyone on the radio, he was not going to let another friend die. “Listen up! Those black dots by Zanzibeir are heartless! Get ready for battle!!” Everyone turned their ships towards Zanzibeir, it seems like they have gotten closer. Reina sniffed a little but she put on her game face, she didn’t want Jin to die. BA10 zoomed forward, missiles pointed toward the heartless. The battle was on. ---- All the gummi ships attacked the heartless, it was a war out there. Ships were exploding, missiles were flying, beams were zooming, and air grenades were flung. Reina tried her best to protect Jin, she destroyed about six heartless. Jin could hardly keep up because the ships were going so fast, so he had destroyed only three of them. Reina saw a red and black heartless ship flying towards her. It didn’t seem like it was going to shoot, but instead it was going to ram her. The heartless had a sword at the tip of its ship, Reina shot out fire missiles, and they had fire spinning all around them. The ship dodged most, but it still got hit by the blaze of the missiles. There was one more but the heartless picked up its speed and slashed right through the missiles. Behind it was a large explosion, it turned out two gummi ships had ran into them. Reina was really pissed now, she had tooken out the homing missile. Instead of the missile acting on its own, she got to control it. The heartless was trying to cut through again but instead, she made it explode right in front of it. Reina was done with that match but Jin by then had destroyed about eight heartless. The battle went on, smoke was flying through space as the ships exploded. Reina and Jin fought with all their might, and so did the rest of the crew. Screams went about the battle field, tears were shed, and corpses floated amongst space. Pieces of gummi gently went passed the battle field. And what really got them, were that deep red blood was everywhere. It was like space was painted with a different color. “……It’s over…..” Jin muttered the words as he and the gummis floated amongst the pieces of heartless, smoke, and bodies. Reina was shaking a little, this battle was one that would go down in history. But what got her the most was, most of her comrades were dead. Jins ship was smoking, and it seemed like the gummi was ready to explode. Jin wasn’t relieved like the rest of his crew, he could feel a large aura, and it wasn’t coming from their ships. Jin started to shake as he turned whirled around. “No…..” A silver/blue ship, shaped like a dragon floated behind them. It gave a powerful roar, as if it was a lion. Everyone went dead silent. Jin could see its shape in his mind, it was huge and powerful. He couldn’t tell the exact power of it, and it was also strange. Reina clicked over to Jins radio. “Jin, we’re going to die. Dangit, I failed!” Commander clicked over to them, Jin couldn’t believe his ears right now. It was like they were giving up, and they’ve never done that before. “We didn’t even get to Zeon, but we will die as proud soild-“ “Shut up you two! I’m not giving up, Zeon stole something from me and I want it back!” Jin pressed a green button and the spikes on his ship pointed towards the dragon. Reina was shocked, only because she knew what he was activating. “Jin, you won’t be strong enough! Your ship’s going to blow by the recoil!” “Well I’ll take the risk…….. Jin out.” Jin clicked off his radio, he was determined to win. His ship had a blue aura, causing the area to shine a radiant blue. The commander and Reina tried to click in on him but his radio was off. The other gummi ships didn’t know what do. The dragon charged forward, creating a mass of energy from its mouth. Jin charged back, yelling valiantly. Reina has never seen him like this, she was stunned. “Zeon! I won’t cower down to you like my companions. ” A large beam from the spikes on Jins ship shot out to the dragon, hitting it directly in the mouth. It was the strongest attack a gummi ship could ever have. When the energy from the dragons mouth collided with the beam for Jins ship, there was a huge explosion. A bright light flashed, and the dragon roared in agony. The explosion sent a force back to Jin and the others, not to mention they were caught in the fire of the explosion. Jins ship was ready to explode, actually he could feel the fire inside the ship. He didn’t care though, before he blacked out from the situation, he put a shield up for Reina. The force from the explosion was so big that it looked like the sun, but wasn’t its size of course. Inferno was sent everywhere, the force was knocking away meteors, it was attracting comets, and the planets nearby were shifted a little. It would seem like a planet exploded, but no one would know about it. The friends and family at home wouldn’t know, only the people fighting their hearts would know. If anyone found out the space government would just cover it up, saying a star exploded, and that the bodies they claimed to see were a figment of their imagination. Jin, Reina, and the others would never be able to say what it was like in the battle. They would never get to tell their story to those at home. Will their home planet ever know of their brave efforts? No, they would never know. But the questions is, are they alive, or are they the bodies drifting in space? End of Chapter I _________________________________________________________________ Chapter II ---- “As if! You won’t be able to find it anyway.” “Oh really? And why is that young one? “Well, because it’ll be in a place you’ll never look.” “And where might this forbidden place be?” “Easy, it’s in-“ ---- Their planet, they know everything. Everything that happened in space has been told to their home planet. The government couldn’t cover it, because the person who found out didn’t say anything to them. I guess everyone knew they would just lie about it. Families are sad, and so are close friends. It has been two days since the incident, and everyone will never forget. “Jin……” A soft voice was heard, and it sounded familiar. The boy barely opened his eyes but of course, he couldn’t see a thing. But he could feel a presence in front of his face. “Who the-“ “Jin! You’re awake!” Jin opened his eyes fully as Reina wrapped her arms around him. Jin was blushing by then, and he had a lot of thoughts running through his head. But the main one was this. “Man, she smells nice…” Reina was giggling until she saw the color of his face. She slapped him on the left shoulder. “Ugh, you perv!” Jin let put his hand over his shoulder as he let out a small yelp. “Ow! That hurt.” Reina placed her hand on his shoulder. Jin seemed to be in shock and in pain, but Reina was as healthy as a horse. “Oh man, my healing didn’t work.” Jin suddenly had tears running down his cheek, he was just so happy. He tackled Reina, but in the process he wrapped his arms around her. Reina was surprised but didn’t do anything as the two lay on the floor. “This is real…..I’m not dead!!” Jin wanted to cheer but his body felt extremely weak, and his muscles were aching. Reina clung to him tightly, obviously forgetting his condition. “Yeah, but we very well should be.” Jin was so weak he couldn’t even tell that another person was near by. Reina looked up and Jin looked towards the aura nearby. “But you know, I think it was because of that barrier.” Jin finally realized who it was, he started to talk weakly. He used a lot of strength to embrace himself with Reina. “Commander…..where are we?” The Commander smiled and flung his arms in the air. “We are in Zanzibeir Island.” Jin looked at the surrounding area, trying to picture everything in his mind. The area they were in right now was evergreen, and a waterfall was next to them. It was beautiful from where they were, but what about the rest of the planet? Reina watched him as he scanned the area, too bad he couldn’t really see it. After Jin was done, it was like he could see everything in sight now. He looked at the commander, his eyes glowing in the process. “So this is it eh? I wonder-“ “How we survived? Yeah, it was because of you. I admire your quick thinking.” “Remember Jin? You put a barrier over me, but it was a good thing the commander was behind me. Now we know why you were out for two days, that barrier must have token a lot out of ya.” Jin laid his head down on her chest as he recalled the moment, and Reina didn’t even mind. The commander did a slight cough and Jin raised his head back up. “Even though I forgive ya for not putting one over me.” “Heh, sorry about that.” Reina stood up, and she grabbed him by the arm. “Alright, it’s time to get up now.” With the help of Reina, Jin got up but he was still aching. He looked around his eyes scanning the area ounce more. “Where, where are the others?” Reina and the commander went silent. The commanders’ eyes went up to Jin. “They are dead Jin. Every single one of them.” Reina wrapped her arms around each other, it looked like she was hugging herself. “I sometimes wish you didn’t rescue me, because then I would have to watch them die. Their screams from that blazing inferno……..” Jin went wide eyed, why? Why couldn’t he rescue all of them? Was he that weak, or was he too concentrated on Reina? Jin leaked out tears as he looked at the commander. “So, what do we do now commander?” “No, call me Terra.” End of Chapter II _____________________________________________________ Well, sorry for that short chapter guys.
