This story is kind of based on a theory that I have about what will happen in the Kingdom Hearts universe. I can't really put my idea into words, and I felt that even if it wasn't where the story was going, it would make a pretty decent fanfic. I also need an outlet for when I'm stuck on my bigger writing project. It wil also keep my mind off of other things that are happening in my life. WARNING: THE FOLLOWING FANFICTION MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS TO ALL THE KINGDOM HEARTS GAMES. THIS INCLUDES 1, CHAIN OF MEMORIES, 2, 358/2 DAYS, BIRTH BY SLEEP, AND RE:CODED! IF YOU DON'T WANT TO BE SPOILED, TURN AWAY NOW. Dedication: Too all of those on KH-Vids who've helped me keep my sanity of the past few weeks. Slaughtermatic, DPWolf, Twilight_Nobody13, P, Stardust, Spunk Ransom :), Terra, Fearless, Misty, MaM_1, Jayn, Sakura Angel, and the others who I have thanked in the past and in the near future. Kingdom Hearts: Let the Finale Begin! by tummer Part One: Awakening “Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on a stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house.†– Matthew 5:15 Prologue: Inside the Realm of Darkness, two beings have crossed paths. One of the beings had recently been deceased while the other had been gone for quite some time. The newer being wore a dark coat while the other appeared to be in old age. Despite many of their differeing features, they were one in the same person. “I see that you have failed as well,†the one who called himself Xehanort said, almost mocking the other. “You wouldn’t have needed me if you had done your job in the first place,†the black coated figured named Xemnas returned. “This was your entire plan to begin with.†“Patience,†Xehanort ordered. “In the end, we will both get what we want. I will have my youthful body again while you will have your heart.†Xemnas wanted to smile. For as long as he remembered, the one thing that he would die for was a heart. Since he was now in the vast Realm of Darkness, he would have been forever curse without feeling. He was a Nobody, someone who wasn’t able to feel. It didn’t feel like a coincidence that he ran into who he use to be in this large space. “If we join once again,†Xemnas started, “does this mean that he will return?†Xehanort let out a cool laugh. “I had almost forgotten about him. Yes, he will return to hinder our progress, but the darkness will take care of him, just like before.†It had been much more than ten years since Xehanort took the body and soul of a young Keyblade Master. Ever since then, the soul of that young man had fought to keep the darkness from spreading. At some point though, the darkness had become too much for the young man’s soul to handle and that once strong voice became deathly silent. At that moment, Xehanort’s heart was ripped in two: A dark being that went by the alias “Ansem†and the Nobody named Xemnas. “One more question,†Xemnas added, “when you and I join as one, does this mean that you and I can wield a Keyblade?†“We will be too weak because of him,†Xehanort explained in a bitter voice. “However, his mere presence will bring about some kind of Key. Once we’re strong enough, we’ll forge our own Keyblade of Darkness. Once that’s done, we’ll find ourselves a new Wielder, one from which we can extract pure light and pure darkness.†“Once entities of pure light and pure darkness lock in combat, the true x-blade will be crafted. We’ll use that blade to unlock Kingdom Hearts.†Xemnas’s body began to glow as he spoke. Their souls were beginning to form back into one. “Why not just find a Wielder of Darkness instead?†This was the first time Xehanort was puzzled. “What is your plan Xemnas?†No other dialogue was spoken between the two beings. Both Xemnas and Xehanort were one whole being now. The heart had once again found its proper vessel. There lied only one, dark presence in the area now. Although his hair was gray, the standing man was filled with youth. He looked weak, but he began to chuckle. All of Xemnas’s thoughts and memories had poured into Xehanort’s mind. His initial thought: the plan into crafting the perfect x-blade to unlock the true Kingdom Hearts. Even in his weak and vulnerable state, Xehanort couldn’t help but feel like he had already won against his adversaries. “Looks like cruel irony has chosen you to be my x-Blade,†Xehanort mutered to himself. “It looks like I’d better get to work.†Chapter One: COMMING SOON!
