Requiem of the Lost Hearts

Sankai looked up kind of surprised. "Keyblade? TruthSeeker's a keyblade?"
He looked down at his trusted weapon. "How can you tell?" he asked, still trying to figure out the whole keyblade concept still. He had no idea it really was what she said.

-----------------------

Meanwhile...

"Tina...Fern...hey. So you two were here too, huh?" Shaista said warmly. "I guess Wonderland is a pretty popular place, today. Mind accompanying me while I try to fix Vaquez's mistake?"

 

Aldon:
Are you done yet?!

Xana:
No! *huffing*

*Xana slashes yellow energy at Aldon*
*Aldon steps to the side*

Aldon:
Still weak?!
Oh well, I'll finish you now!!

*uses his elemental blast*
*Xana somehow dodges and smacks Aldon in the face*
*the orbs disappear and they put their weapons away*

I guess you win.....
Oh well, I should just tell you anyways.....

Hey Sankai, I don't know your story so can you take temporary control of my characters and tell the story?

 

OOC: Which story, gamefreak103?

 

Off Topic:
Good question!

Umm...about the past?

 

Fern got off of Shaista and stood up, giggling lightly. "Sure." She agreed. She looked over at Tina. "..What?!" Tina hissed. "Are you going with Shaista too or not?" She replied. "Ill go.." #2 shrugged, crossing her arms.
---------
"Look here at the handle." Crysalis said, pointing to the part of the keyblade he was holding. "Sort've the end chape of a key, right?" She asked. She didn't wait for his answer. "And at the end, right here, is the blade." She pointed out, kneeling by the end of the keyblade. "The blade at the end is all different shapes, like mines a butterfly." She explained, standing up. "So, it's a keyblade." She said simply, smiling.

 

"Oh....sukoy("wow" in japanese...i think)" Sankai marveled at this new revelation. He decided to inspect TruthSeeker more closely to see if there were any other features about it he'd overlooked. He examined the hilt first then followed it up to the blade itself.
He then tried to compare it with the butterfly keyblade of Crysalis in his mind. He couldn't deny the similar form of the 2, if one were to place them over a picture of a giant key, they'd easily fit, but the butterfly one didn't have a clasp that wrapped around the lower arm like the TruthSeeker. It was strange that it almost seemed to be attached to him. "Um, Crysalis, do you know about this too?" he asked pointing at the clasp.
-----------------------------------

"Ah Tina, dont be like that," he gave her a little smile. "You almost seem annoyed at my request," continued jokingly. He stood up and looked around for a moment. "Before I go and speak, I'd like to survey the magnitude of Vaquez's error." He faces towards the courtyard.

-----------------------------------

Aldon began telling Xana the story:

Part: Buildup to Kingdom Hearts
OK, so up until a couple hundred years ago, all the known worlds lived in harmony under one kingdom, just as the Emperor said. Before the Kingdom was formed, the world were in chaos as the forces of light and dark battled for control of the worlds. In the wake of their fight, the worlds themselves began to quarrel. Back then, the roads to the worlds were easy access, so a person could literally walk from one world to another.

After awhile, one of the worlds, The World that Never Was destroyed all the roads connected to it and developed ships that would allow them to quickly move between worlds and conquer. Soon after, the other worlds followed suit,making their own variations of the ships.

The chaos caused by the great many battles was devestating, a siece fire was called, so the worlds could all recover. Light and darkness both melted away for a time, which disrupted all the worlds' continuities. It was only after a young maiden, one of the guardians of twilight completed a daunting quest to bring back the light and dark that things turned around. She then became the balance between light and dark, keeping each in check.

She had decided to retreat back to a secluded place to keep continuous watch over the balance, but all the worlds begged her to stay. With no leadership left due to the fighting, representatives from all the different worlds convinced her to remain as their leadership. From a castle of Twilight, she reigned, selecting delegates from among the people of the different worlds who had true hearts to lead the people. Talks of peace soon followed and after about forty years, all the worlds became united under one Kingdom:Kingdom Hearts.

Part 2 next post...

 

Crysalis store at the clasp. She shook her head and shrugged. "I don't know." She said. "Sorry, but I can't held with that." She said again, looking down at his keyblade.
-------------------------
"Wee! Will there be muffins involved? I like muffins" Fern squeeled, looking up at Shaista wide eyed. Tina slapped her forhead ad looked down, sighing and shaking her head. "We KNOW you like muffins, Fern.." She pointed out, looking back up at Fern. "I know!" Fern yelped. Tina groaned.

 

Part 2: End of Twilight

Aldon continued:

It only took about 10 years to completely unify all the known worlds under the rule of the newly appointed queen, but Kingdom Hearts had a long reign. As her first line of business was to hold elections in all the worlds to find new leadership for each individual realm. She then divided the kingdom up into districts, which were made up of groups of worlds. Judges were set over each of the four disticts to help delegate between the different worlds. For the most part, the Divine Queen ruled indirectly through the four judges while she kept darkness and light balanced. The judges also acted as her council, which she'd meet with periodically to assess the kingdom's state and decide on any new major regulations for the kingdom as a whole. After the government was reestablished, reconstruction began.

A large celebration for the end of reconstruction was held. At a inagural ceremony, the heart moon was dedicated as Kingdom Hearts, in honor of prosperity that awaited them in the future. The golden age began.

After 300 years of peace and prosperity, something noone but the 3 Oracles could forsee. Out of the dark void came a world noone knew of. A world that hadn't happened...yet. This world was The End.

When The End of The World appeared, there was nowhere to run, to hide...nowhere to even look. The divine queen fought valiantly with the judges by her side against the End's own ruler, but the result was not what they had hoped. Because of the the kingdom that fought so hard to continue on forever contended with the kingdom that's purpose to end all that goes on, the balanced became inversed; light and dark began to deviate from twilight and a warped reality occured. Though The End's Emperor failed in his purpose, the queen was greatly weakened in the fight. Still the kingdom continued on, but it had new problems with the inverted light and dark darting about.

The Queen formed a guardian force to look after the worlds and shield them from the ripple effect caused by distorted twilight. Two new rulers of End appeared trying their hand at overthrowing the queen, but both generations were defeated. The third finally arose and it was by his most wicked plans and actions that the queen finally fell.

I was actually there when it happened. I dont know all the details, but first they took The World that Never Was. From there, true reality could be found, fore since reality was warped, that world which followed a different path was set in true reality. The Emperor came and from there he summoned agents from the dark, the heartless. Mindless, vile creatures which were bent on destruction. He placed his mark on them and sent them forth into the faulty reality that had no balance.
The heartless attacked and began to consume the hearts of the people. The beasts seemed to be unbeatable, till one stepped out on courage, carrying an sword shapped like a key.

to be continued in part 3.
---------------------------------------

Sankai sighed. He stood up and waved TruthSeeker, forming a portal.
He started towards it, then stopped and turned back to Crysalis. "I'm going to conduct some a few indept tests. Mind if I leave for a little bit? I promise I'll come back in a few," he smiled.

------------------------------------

"Sorry. No muffins, I'm afraid." Sankai smiled at Fern as he began to walk on ahead.

 

(I think you mean Shaista)

Fern whined. "But I like muffiiiiins!" She complained. TIna needed to whack her over the head several times to make her actually shut up.
-----------
Crysalis smiled. "Okay." She replied, picking her Beautifly(I called it that.. mwhaha, I think I said that already) and carrying it off back to her tree house. Lishock un-attached itself from Sankai's leg and followed her.

 

Xana:
Why do you keep pausing?

Aldon:
Because I keep running out of breath!
Anyways, let me try to continue!

 

(OOC: Oh, yeah. Sorry. When u write so much, sometimes everything runs together. lol!)

Part 3: Key to Bending Light and Dark

A young boy and his friends began to strike back against the threat of the heartless using this key-weapon. It appeared that only this party of small warriors could void the power the heartless. Once the Divine Queen got word of the boy and his companions, she immediately left the castle in search of them.

The power of the Key-Weapon, which was the prototype to the keyblade, long sealed away for its power, was unbelieveable. The power of one's heart drove the blade's own power, so only one with a strong heart could wield it. It's power also grew as a result of the heart's connection to other hearts and would bless the wielder's companions with the ability to combat the heartless as well. But contrary to the keyblades of today, when a heartless is defeated by it, the heart taken by the heartless is stored inside the blade for protection instead of allowing it to float off to find its owner. Because of a misconception of this trait, many began to call it the Soul Eater, but it ever kept the hearts. Once the weapon reached a world where a heart belonged, it would release the heart.

Meanwhile, the Emperor of The End also heard of the boy and sent forth his own army of End Soldiers to hunt and kill the boy who was obviously messing up his plans. He also readied his trump card for a royal flush (sorry for the pun)

Luckily, the Queen made it to the key wielder and she formed an alliance with his party to stop the dark ruler's plans. Upon seeing the weapon, the Queen recognized it as the weapon sealed long ago and she began to teach him more of the different functions of the weapon, the most necessary to their cause, the power to bend elements. With that ability, they would travel to the world that never was and reset reality, by bending light and darkness out of their inverted state.

The Emperor didn't make the road ahead any less periless as they came against the stronger heartless as well as his own armies, but they were able to battle their way through it all and make it The World tha Never Was. Once there an intense battle ensued against the Emperor and his attendants, leaving all but the boy and strongest of the Emperor's council incapacitated. With the fate of all reality resting in the hands of the boy and his key, he cut down the final attendant and invoked the power of Bending to restore what was once warped, but even when reality was fixed, it wasn't over.

To be continued....Part 4: Disaster and Rebirth

------------------------------

Within the nexus of the portal, Sankai began to examine the inner workings of the portal and as he walked through, he found himself in another world
"!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
He looked around a large mansion, dimly lit. All was quiet until..."RRRRAAAAAAAAWWWWRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!"

------------------------------

When Shaista made it to the courtyard, he saw all the devistation left behind by Vaquez's attack. "Such a shame...hey, wait a minute. Why hasn't this place been cleaned up yet? This has been like this for quite a little time. I should help them out." Shaista called forth a portal and out came Vaquez.
Vaquez:Huh, how'd I....? Oh, Lord Shaista.
Shaista: Vaquez, since you made the mess, how bout you help me clean it up?
Vaquez: What about the Collesium?
Shaista (pointing to the council-member behind Vaquez): I'm sure he can handle it.

 

Xana:
You stopped again!

Aldon:
*huffing*
You keep complaining and you'll find some bumps on your head!

Xana:
Why did you stop?

Aldon:
Like I said, I need to catch up with my breathing
Now, where was I?
___________________________________________________________________
Off Topic:
How long is this story?!

 

Fern walked into the courtyard. Tina followed behind them all, kicking a rock into the back of Shaista's head. She turned and looked away, crossing her arms and whistling innocently as if she had done nothing.
-----------
Crysalis turned, seeing the newcomers. "Oh hello. You must be that stupid Shaista guy" She hissed, glaring straight at Shaista. "What brings you here? Im busy attempting to fix the courtyard that YOU destroyed!" She asked, pointing at Fern. "SHE DID IT!" She yelled, pointing at Tina. Tina pointed at Vaquez.

 

(OOC: Its about over. I'll wrap it up in my next post)

Shaista: My, my. Quite a different welcome from our last meeting...and how do you do, Crysalis?

He looked around.

Shaista: I came in person to apologize for my subordinate's actions, but I first decided to check out the scene of the crime myself. Seeing as my party is at fault, allow me to clean up here and also offer an apology and my condolences about your queen's passing. Also, please allow me to do whatever I can to make this right.

Shaista came and bowed down before Crysalis
Vaquez: Ah. Lord! (bows down beside Shaista)
---------------------------

Sankai looked about, trying to find the source of the roar, but there was nothing around. He looked down the hall, turned and came down the other hall. Nothing. Maybe upstairs he thought to himself as he rushed to find the source of the loud monstrous sound.

 

Crysalis looked at them weirdly. "Umm.... okay.." She said gently, doing a quick curstsy as a more 'suitable' greeting. She looked over to Fern. Fen grinned, giggled lightly, and waved. Tina turned her back to everyone, her arms still crossed and she was grumbling somthing.

 

Continuing the story: Final Chapter: Disaster and Rebirth.

The area began to rumble as waves clashed against the World that Never Was. Quickly gathering his allies, the boy escaped, leaving behind the Emperor and his men, who were quite pleased that their plans had come to fruition.

Because the boy had used Bending on the inverted light and dark to restore reality, there was a rebound effect, which the king had carefully calculated and made preparations for. The rebound to such a large undertaking as fixing reality with the bending skill called for something drastic to happen and sure enough, it did.

People looked up to the sky in horror as a bright light filled the sky and a heavy darkness covered the ground. Darkness and light became overendowed, encompasing all in twilight.

All that was left were ruins of places once called worlds, that fed The End at their demise, leaving only few behind. As all disappeared and vanished, even the Emperor. The Divine Queen and her judges also. The boy and his party were among those who remained but could they do as reality was reset.

The tears of the children fell in distress. Cries for family, friends, and loved ones raised to the heavens. The world shattered and torn down all around them, all they could do was weep for the lost ones and cry out for relief...but just when all seemed lost, suddenly hope returned to the world of the lost ones. The tears of the children and the hope of their prayers came together as a shining force that rained down on everything, restoring to them the homes that were lost at the cost of their memories. Only those of a strong heart (or who had the events recorded) could remember the things that had occured.

The worlds began to live separately again, oblivious to each other's existance for a time until gummi ships were developed. The boy and his party vanished without a trace. As to what happened to them, noone knows. THe End fell back into the shadows and a new age began...

----------------------------

Shaista began to clean up the area, aided only by Vaquez. He told Fern and Tina that since they werent responsible for it, they didn't have to help out unless they wanted to. Shaista and Vaquez were surprisingly fast workers, covering one are area at a time. All the time, theyworked in silence. Vaquez was bewildered at the sight of seeing Shaista doing work, but he knew he shouldnt speak against it, especially since he'd have to work alone if Shaista didnt help him.

 

Fern walked up to Crysalis as Tina walked off somewhere and the others worked. "Why do you where all that black stuffn' butterfly stuffs?" She asked. "I like colors with black. It makes it seem like it's a beautiful color. And butterflies are just that" She said. "You got a nickname? I call people by their nicknames somtimes" She asked. "Well.. I got a few. Beautifly, Rainbow walker.. but the most commen;y used ones by my friends and family is Butterfly Princess" She said. Fern jotted it down in her head and wrapped her brain around "Butterfly Princess". (It's an expression that means memorize).

"Im Fern. You can call me that or Muffin Mistress. When there's a muffin, im there" She said, laughing. Crysalis laughed at her nickname.

 

Xana:
So are you finished?

Aldon:
Yes, yes I am.

Xana:
That was boring....

Aldon:
Then why did I have to tell you?

Xana:
I was confused...

Aldon:
Let's just go see what's going on in ummm..........Wonderland, yeah that place.

*Aldon opens a portal, but it heads somewhere else*

Seems fate wants us to go somewhere else....

*both walk through the portal and find themselves in a castle*

Xana:
Why are we here?

Aldon:
Because fate told us to!

Xana:
I hate fate......

*they hear a roar*

Aldon:
*sighs*
So do I sometimes......

*both start to walk around*

 

Suddenly, tumbling down the stairs, Sankai and a large buffalo man (The Beast) were locked in combat. Steel met teeth and claw in a vicious clash of power. As hey hit the bottom, Sankai looked up and saw the stranger from earlier at Wonderland as well as another character with him, but before he had a chance to process the information, the beast struck again with Sankai back on the defense.

------------------------

Vaquez: I understand why I'm down here working, but why are you, Lord Shaista?
Shaista(smiling): You fool...so you really dont understand, then? Well, that's fine. You'll find out that being a leader means you have to serve the people. Besides, I am accountable for your actions.
Vaquez: But, why?
Shiasta: Its part of what being a leader is all about. Even the young maiden there (points to Crysalis) understands. She has the potential to be a great leader for her people. I can see it in her eyes...but there is also abit of doubt there also.

 

"Tina's my bestest friend. She's like the opposite of me" Fern said as she sat down next to Crysalis. Crysalis did the same. "You're funny, cheery, and playful, and she's cold, mean, and sarcastic?" She asked. Fern nodded. "Yeah. It's like she's my flipside." She shrugged, watching Tina examine hedges in the shape of a butterfly.
