STORY​

Prologue One:​

The young woman was relieved that the hooded man came to her aid just in time. For the past few yards, she was being chased by a pack of creatures that were unknown to her. She was frail, and tripped upon a broken crack in the pavement. Right when she thought that it would be the end for her, He came to her aid. With one, mighty swipe of his oddly shaped sword, the creatures seemed to magically disappear.

“T-thank you,” The young woman told the man as she attempted to stand.

The man turned, but she could not see his face under the dark cloak. He raised his arm, putting his weapon right next to the woman’s head. She couldn’t understand what was happening. Was this truly her day to die?

“Your name,” The man demanded. A pair of yellow orb appeared where his eyes should have been.

“Ali,” The girl responded, her voice quivering.

The man lowered his blade, placing it length-wise, and parallel from the woman’s chest. “Take it,” He demanded again from her. Not wanting to make the man angry, Ali took the weapon out of his hand. She could feel a strange power coming from the sword. The man appeared to be waiting for something to happen. Half a minute passed when he finally said “It’s called a Keyblade, and it has chosen you”.

Before she could say anything, The man took what he called a "Keyblade" from the girl. Three seconds passed, and another sword appeared in the girl’s grasped. This one was much different; a yellow hilt with an end that looked like a King’s crown. The man smiled, almost laughing, as he seemed to find himself a new project.

Prologue Two:​

Three years have passed since the fall of Xemnas, the Nobody to Xehanort. The Nobody was said to be slain by two young boys, who both could use the power of the Keyblade: a weapon whose power comes from the wielder’s own hearts. More than a year before, Sora had slain Xehanort, who had become what is known as a Heartless. Since both the Nobody and the Heartless were sent into the Darkness, they became whole, but were not as powerful.

Master Yen Sid, an old magician and retired Keyblade Master, along with his prodigy, King Mickey, decided that it was best to train the two boys into becoming Keyblade Masters. Both were quickly able to receive their status as Masters of the Keyblade, and to train for the revenge of Xehanort. Both Yen Sid and Mickey knew that Xehanort would be weak, and he wouldn’t do anything to make himself known. They could only wait for the enemy’s first attack, and hope that it could all end as quickly as it would begin.

In that time, Mickey looked over the Secret Ansem Reports. Some of the passages mentioned a “Castle Oblivion”, where once was a place where Masters were truly born. He remembered the three brave Masters that fought with him when Xehanort first tired to create Kingdom Hearts, and have long believed that they had passed on in that battle. The events inside the journal had changed his perspective: They were alive, and they needed to be found!

Masters Sora and Riku returned to their homes on Destiny Island, alongside their childhood friend, Kairi. While Kairi had the privilege to become a Master, no one found it right to put a Princess of Heart in the line of battle, and risk ending her life. Secretly, Master Sora had begun training her as well, to prepare her for anything. Ever since he did become a Master, Sora had been experiencing vision of another Him. Kairi had also been experiencing this, dreaming of things that felt so real. Neither one said anything about it to anyone, believing they were only dreams and nothing more. The most emotional vision was one where a boy and a girl, in dark cloaks, eating ice cream on a clock tower one final time.

The balances of the world were changing now. The Heartless have grown in strength and in numbers! In an attempt to keep the balance, more Keyblade wielders have received their Keyblade. However, not all Wielders are pure of heart. A hooded man who goes by “Master X” and his companion Ali have been recruiting members to engulf the world in Darkness, and to finally bring forth Kingdom Hearts!

He currently travels with Master X (Xehanort) and Ali.

 

Sephiroth glanced at his somewhat "partner". For once...another being creeped the bejezus out of him. This girl with silver eyes and such deathly pale skin reminded him too much of everything.
"Sephiroth..." Her voice was melodic though...almost...soothing, as if to lull anyone into a relaxed state so she could well...murder you. His muscles tensed as he waited. "I think I can beat you now." His lips curved upwards in a smile, "Do you now. And what makes you believe this?" Her silver eyes glittered in Hollow Bastion's ever present light. "Because...I figured you out." Her simple sentence caused goosebumps to rise on his arms. "Hmph, I wonder..."

 

Master Xehanort didn't like the feeling that was going through his body. Never in his entire life did he enjoy being weak. He constantly wished that he had his old power, the one that was so drastically snatched from him. "Patience, patience..." He muttered to himself as he passed through the quiet streets of Traverse Town. It wasn't the right time to start anything, let alone extract revenge from the ones who caused him to lose everything. He was already investing himself in a new lackey, but there was always room for some more recruits.


On Destiny Island, a young man by the name of Sora was pacing around the beach. For some reason, he had been very drawn to this place. It felt like there was something in his heart that wanted to see it. "Why do you wish to bring me here," Sora asked himself in a low voice. He was getting all sorts of clues from his dreams; he had dreams of walking the familiar beaches, but not through his own body. He would pace back and forth to find the perfect seashell every time. He knew he had to fix something.

As he walked, he notice something in the distance. It was shiny and was coming up on shore. He sprinted towards the object and picked it up from the crashing waves. It was a message-in-a-bottle, the the insignia of an old friend.

"Riku! Kairi!" The boy called out the names of his two best friends.

Sora very well knew that something big was going to happen, but he wasn't entirely sure of what it was going to be.

 

Adriana sat by the edge of the cliff overlooking the old castle. How beautiful that castle had once been- and now it was horrible-and falling apart. It was weird to think that almost two years ago now that the castle and it's surroundings were full of heartless. Of course heartless were still there but not nearly as many as there once was. Adriana,herself, had never met the boy who helped save their world, Sora, as too had been fighting the heartless. Not with a keyblade but with a sword- a now broken sword. Nowadays things were different. Even though the old sword was gone she now fought with a key blade-she was blessed enough to be chosen by the legendary keyblade.
"Oh Adri!" called a small fairy,popping up right in front of her.
Adriana smiled when she saw the little fairy. The fairy's name was Yuna and she was one of the Gullwings- a group of faeries who looked for treasure and helped around Radiant Garden.
"What do you need, Yuna," Adriana said smiling.
"Fireboy's looking for you," she said.
By Fireboy she meant Lea- whether the fairy called him that because he had fiery red hair or because of his fire twin chakrams, Adriana had no idea.
"Thank You," Adriana said jumping up from where she was sitting.
"He's in the square!!!" Yuna shouted as Adriana ran off.
~~~~
Krista woke up from her dream startled. Another dream-another possible memory. The boy's face and voice echoed in her mind. The dark brown hair with eyes looking so scared. Was he her brother? or maybe a close friend? he would yell her name and then the seen would change. then another brown haired boy would be running towards her and the first boy. If only she could remember something else. Something more... Even just how she knew the two boys would be nice... She closed her eyes to fall back asleep when her alarm clock went off. She groaned as she hurriedly got dressed. Krista was supposed to meet Hayner and the others in the secret spot. She brushed her hair and grabbed drawing book. She ran out the door and locked it behind her.

OOC: This got long xD

 

Guess i'd better get going. Zhane thought to himself as he moved to the edge of the skyscraper. Looking down to see if there was anything there, he saw nothing so he jumped down to the ground. As soon as he hit the ground, the usual bunch of neoshadows showed up, but instead of attacking they just stood there as he walked by. Probably because they knew that they couldn't beat him. It wasn't long before he reach the end of the alleyway. "Alright, it's time I left this place." Summoning his keyblade, he opened the gateway to Twilight Town and steped through. Leaving this place behind him.

 

Jason was walking towards the marketplace when black shadows surrounded him.
"Damned heartless," he mumbled.
He held out his hand and an emerald blade appeared. He quickly slashed through the heartless and defeated them. Jason hated the heartless-more than anyone or anything. Because of them his younger sister and best friend were dead. Because of them his parents and almost everyone from his world was dead. He wished the keyblade would have been with him those almost two years ago.Maybe then he could have saved the people he cared about the most...
~~~~
On the other side of Traverse Town-the much darker side- was another boy. His name was Alex and he was a nobody. he felt nothing nor had he felt anything for almost two years now. Alex had awoken with shattered memories-and without a beating heart. The only feeling he could remember was not love or friendship or kindness but hate. The memories the knew where the names and faces of two teens, Krista and Jason. As he wondered if maybe they had caused he to lose his heart he continued walking onward. Alex walked until he bumped into someone. He staggered back and took a look at the man...
OOC: prob should mention that guy is Master X.

 

Once Zhane made it through the portal, he took a lot around to see where he had ended up. The mansion of course. Closing the doorway behind him, Zhane soon left the mansion and headed for the sandlot. As he took a look around town, he saw that nothing had change. Everything was the same as it was the last time his was here.

 

Riku stared out at the beach of the islands, he was thinkign back everything that has happened so far and what changes came abotu during that fateful day almost 5 years ago when he walked through the Darkness, unafraid of what may happen and what ahppened as he traversed the worlds, joining forces with Sora to battle Xenmas to save the worlds as well as escaping the Darkness of the world they ende dup in, hsi friend always seemed to make the impossible, possible, he was right that day, he was jealous of Sora being who he was but that was fine, the two trained Yen Sid who Mickey said was a former Keyblade Master and he wasn't sure if he was meant to wield his Keyblade but the training and such had him accept he was ready to wield a Keyblade and regain a confidence he never knew he had.

He gotten a haircut before trainign with Yen Sid though, his parents complained it didn't suit him which he had to admit was true in a sense as Sora decided to train Kairi in the ways of the Keyblade secretly, he did pass her that Keyblade merely to defend herself but the trainign in reality was to stop Xehanort at all costs.

"What a small world..." he said to hismelf, hands within his pockets before he gave a small smile, he viewed these islands are merely prisons surrounded by water but after the experiences of the worlds and such, he changed his view on his home.

 

Kairi waved back to Sora and shifted her feet in the sand, "Sora!" She saw the bottled message and her heart plunged. Another mission from the King? He's going to call my friends away again? Not this time...not without me.

Ali's sweet face popped out from behind her Master and stared down at the boy who'd run into her Master. "Who are you?" She kept a purple scarf wrapped around her neck and tucked into her black coat. Her Master had given her the coat and told her to keep it on at all times, it would protect her from the darkness.

Xenree blocked and dodged most of Sephiroth's blows. Only a select few got through. Each one of those glittering lights distracted her for a moment before their strength hit her hard. Landing on the ground, she made a mad dash forwards as Sephiroth smashed into the ground, his sword exactly where her head would've been. "Tsk..." Her hood fell back and Xenree turned away from her friend, frantically pulling it back up. "Sephiroth, wait! That's enough!"
