This is my first ever having read loads I decided it would be fun to try and write after the one I just Read , Eclipse of the heart , that was crazy in a way I guess you could say that inspired this.
, also I'm ok in English but it's not my first language , so i'd appreciate it if you would point out any grammar errors...or not Doesn't really matter that much I guess. Either way let me know what you think.

'people thinking'
Chapter 1:A not so average day in the life off...
-
Boring...that's how today feels. Ruby's been hanging under a tree for the better part it.
Her precious phone has moved on, it's battery had died 2 hours ago , she'd charge it...but unfortunately the powers been off the whole day.
Even before she woke up.
The day has literally just been her lazing about bored and frustrated.
That's why she's hanging under this tree , after what's probably the seventh complaint about being bored her folks kindly suggested(HINTED STRONGLY)
that she go outside for a change. WItch sounds like a swell time...not What she should be doing is playing some kingdom hearts , she havs Yet to defeat her eternal rival..the one who keeps her up at night , who broke more of her controllers than any other villain...ever. The one , the only Sephiroth. "Mark my words I shall defeat him!",she muttered to herself .But now...her gaming life has come to an abrupt end. How tragic.
She had wandered around outside for a while before deciding to just walk straigth and see where the road leads her.
Eventually coming across her big tree , and after a while of walking . it was the only sanctuary in site.
she's in uncharted territory a place touched by no neet , it's hot , dry and agonising.
Dry leaves laying everywhere with not even an autumn breeze to move them.
Her throat and lips completely dry , and it felt as if every breath she took seemed to dry it more.
Her rations consist of a single bag of cookies and a half eaten apple that she managed to snag before leaving the house.
She's seriously regretting not bringing something to drink.
'I would seriously kill for some water right now,
my rations will only last me a bit longer.
Im slowly drying out as I sit here.
I don't know for how long this will go on.
I fear I may not make it out of this alive ...tell my parents...I...blame them.'
Bam! a ball hits her square in the face bringing an end to her inner death scene."...oww." , "Sorry miss!." The kid who came running to retrieve the ball yelled.
The brat didn't even look at her when he arrived , taking his ball and scurrying off. While she wasn't paying attention a group of kids have come out to play.
The site of such a taxing activity on a day like this enough to make her feel tired for them.
"Tch, this is now a danger zone , a gang of small minions have invaded and are trying to steal the only protection from the sun. their weapon... evil ball attacks.",Her eyes narrow in annoyance as she mutters to herself and getting up.
She could try to shoo them away but this isn't even her neighborhood so she doubted it would work.
she makes the choice to retreat. being outnumbered and all that.
'I shall kick their asses another day , when Im less dead inside.' , was how she justified her hasty retreat.
Deciding that she was outside long enough, she can probably head home about now.
The way back home is painfully long and sweaty., it's about half an hour long walk , witch was way easier to do earlier for some reason.
The pack of cookies is her only apple long gone.
she's down to the last cookie when she reaches her house. she noticed the lights which are on,she blinked slowly.'
...Wait ...lights mean power Duh.'
"YES! The powers back!". her loud cheer woke the neighbors very big, very scary and very angry dog.
tts chain cracking as it tries to storm her , barking all the way. " struggle all ye want , but ye shant earn your freedom any are but a pawn, my only true rival shall flatten you with but a glare!"
The chain made a cracking sound...
Which means it's time for yet another tactical want that thing getting loose.
The wind whips thru her black hair as she bolted inside the house.
"Ruby! don't tease the neighbors dog! That thing will eat you whole if it gets loose." , her dad yells mirroring her thoughts somewhat as she slams the door behind her.
The problem with this situation is as follows...her dad hates that dog but the neighbor refuses to take it away ,and that dog hates her. so she's always in trouble whenever she leaves the house.
hench her revenge...reminding it of it's fruitless struggle via unnecessary teasing.
The reason her dad hates that dog so much is because it did get loose once. He was coming home from work one day in the family van , the dog already loose charged the car and slammed into it again and again.
He had to wait hours for animal control to arrive.
And to top it all off the neighbor some how sweet talked him and his dog out of it all.
As she walked down the hall her mother stopped her. " so have fun outside dear , make any new friends?"
"nope , the heat out there is crazy , I was hiding under a big tree the whole time , and the this stupid kid kicked a ball into my face", Ruby muttered back Her mom gave a smile,"Want something to eat or drink, maybe that will cheer you up?"
That question reminding her once more of her agonising thirst.
"thats ok mom, I'll just grab a soda from the fridge", and then she did just that.
Anyway seeing as the power is on now , she Should probably go to battle now.
"To the ruby cave!", she yelled as she bolted pass her mom to her room.
"If you clean It every once in a while it wouldn't have to be a cave!."My mom yells from behind her , before sighing and shaking her head Ruby rolled my eyes , the thought of doing that hasn't crossed her mind in month's.
Cleaning is the enemy of gaming, stealing precious hours of game time.
She won't surrender to the whims of parents!
Game now!
-
Her blue eyes are wide and bloodshot, her entire body feels like trembling jello. her breathing ragged and shallow.
But her face has a sinister , wide grin. "mwahaha.," she starts to laugh silently before going all out,"hahahahahahahahahahaha!...i did it...i actually won!."
Her smile so wide it could easily rip her took an all nighter , an entire night of fighting the fallen angel eerie chorus that is his theme is imprinted in her mind is at the moment so tired that she feels energized.
That usually happens only when she does an all nighter.
This was her final obstacle too 100% completion , Xemnas is but a fly she'l have to swat .She only had the original release , none of the fancy newer ones.
But she heard there was a new , even stronger boss , Terra's armor or something...She saw this while googling for ways to beat the fallen one,
but to her it looked more like they weakened sephiroth witch is shall eternally be her strongest adversary.
no suit of armor shall replace him. When she thinks powerful boss fight , she immediately thinks of Sephiroth.
suddenly The light flickers and dies , as well as her fossil of a Ps2 and tv The power died...she didn't save
"nooooooooooooo!." another remote smashed against the wall.
Her body was shuddering , the anger flowing thru her like lava. It felt like fate itself was mocking her.
That timing ...was too perfectly evil.
It was Sephiroth's final last ditch attack ,"Damn you sephiroth! this is not the end!."
"Ruby be quiet! were trying to sleep!
After that Ruby just fell into the bed , out like a light
The earth started shaking , she practically jumped out of the bed arms flailing , nearly tripping over her blanket witch came with her.
...something crazy is happening. She Felt an eerie feeling of angst , like someone just brutally murdered a puppy . Her parents yell from somewhere in the house , prompting her to bolt out the room as fast as she could towards them...but..."where are they?" ,she's standing where she heard the scream from but ...
there's no one , she thought she saw something black bolt up the wall but there was nothing when she looked.
Another rumble shakes the house ,the roof above her cracking and caving in. She jump's as hard as she can and barely make It out , coughing from the dirt that invaded her Impact having momentarily stunned her.
That was close! " MOM! DAD! , Where are you!" try to get up and nearly collapse in pain , tears appearing on her lash line , "my ankle hurts...badly."
'Outside! they must have run for safety.'
The stairs are no match for her hobble really fast technique , her feet ...or one foot carrying her out the front door.
The other just kinda can't decide if it wants to support her body or just be dragged along.
But what greets her on the other side makes the breath leave her body.
...What The Hell...
There's a giant black portal thing in the sky sucking everything in! Her house just barely holding on as parts fly past her.
a mailbox nearly hit her in the she started to get dragged faster... .FASTER!
She was about to scream when she saw something weird...a heartless scurrying past grabs on to a tree and hold on for dear life.
"hahaha I get it ...I just passed out...wait does this mean I didn't beat sephiroth?.",..."Dammit!".'o wait ...Im completely surrounded by heartless now,
These things are faster than they look.
their staring at me blankly , It's really creepy.'
The portal not affecting them, unfair dream logic .
'This is probably the part where I summon a keyblade and slay them all mwahaha.', she reaches out with her one hand to summon the blade ,too call forth her hidden power... but nothing.
"c'mon work dammit!" . she yells shaking her hand up and down . 'oops, the heartless are all coming right at me now...',"I'd really like to wake up now!".
she's swarmed , Her good leg trying to kick them off , but it's not working!
The darkness going over her ,Covering her eyes , slithering into her mouth.
It tastes like liquorish and death , noth things she hates.
They were everywhere , 'I can't move , I cant breath , It feels like I'm drowning , their claws are scratching at me...it hurts so much.'
'I don't think this is a dream... it feels too real...It hurts so much ...'
'But ...these are just weak shadows...sephiroth is my Rival..I can't die here!
I have too many things I wanna do , and believe it or not friends I wanna see.
What about my parents...I still need to find them and there are so many games I still have to play , I was even gonna make my own one day..this..this is...no ...nonononononononono',
"I'll be damned if I let measly shadow heartless kill me!I'll Fight to the Bitter END!"
Suddenly she can breath ,Light everywhere , bursting from every part of her body. The heartless around her vaporized as the light touched them.
It spread for quite a length before fading She's ALIVE! YES YES YES "Booya! I got a key...stick? a glowing stick...forget the key part."
'Yikes grabb the tree again!'
Oh look more heartless."This is not good , my leg is still busted and more and more keep popping up , plus I can't let go of this damned tree!"
"shouldn't I have like anti-be-eaten-by-evil-portal powers now or something?"
This is unfair...what is happening..
she tried hard ...really she did , but she was never athletic , She can only swat them with the one hand holding the stick and her leg's busted.
She got quite a few of them but even so , She's currently surrounded by more shadows than there were in the heartless war in the great maw Her stamina all but finished.
'I never stood a chance , which sucks cause I just got powers and all that.'
Her body may be aching and full of blood , but she went on for as long as she could...witch was about five minutes but felt like an eternity 'my world is falling to darkness , this is terrible. I still can't shake the feeling that this is real...how is...this real?'
Eventually she let's go of the tree , being too injured to fight further.
The portal got her so fast she didn't feel a thing.
-
black , everywhere
floating in a void '
'When am I gonna wake up? I don't know how long I've been here,...'
The portal took her here , hanging in darkness. absolutely nothing happening in her sub conscience.
She thought for a While that she was in the realm of darkness, or maybe even a dark corridor seeing as heartless ravaged her world, but no.
'Here I have no physical body , or i'm so paralyzed I can't feel anything.
It's so dark I can't tell.'
'Also what was up with the sudden heartless invasion , one moment it's a happy but boring day and then suddenly death by cute black creatures and portals,
and if all this kingdom hearts stuff is to be believed..shouldn't I be in Traverse town or 's where sora went after all.
'I'm bored now' , any pain She felt faded long ago. She's even taken to trying to remember entire movies she watched in a vain attempt at entertainment.
The theatre in her mind currently showing her the Aladdin movie , Jafar has just taken over Agrabah.
But Imagining it is just not the same as watching.
'why is this taking so long!...',
'I now knew it wasn't a dream. Im probably dead. The afterlife sucks, was this going to go on for eternity?
Will i ever see my parents again , what is Kingdom Hearts 3 like?'
all these painful questions repeated in her mind
'Roxas...we won't...fade , we'll meet...again
wait ...I hear a voice...Its whispering... but not too me...wait I heard something about Roxas ...was that Namine?'
blink..
"oh snap!", I'm ...confused.'In an instant Twilight town was in front of her.
Just like that , She has a body now and She's somehow in twilight town.
she noticed a distinct lack of caring that everything is weird She had felt no need to panic at all.
"what else is different?"
she examines her hands , she's wearing creepy black gloves that look like heartless claws , and her skin is really pale.
This requires even further investigation!
'The shops windows should do the trick and...holy crap!'
"Im Adorable!"
Her black hair was in a ponytail with two bangs framing her porcelain face ,the hair looks like it got even darker than it was before. Like it was dipped in the sheen it gives of is a light purple.
Also calling it hair would be going to far, it's more like flowy clumps.
She also had fucking glowing yellow eyes!
Where the hell was her pupils
'I've been shrunk , I look thirteen or so...I use to be 19...Im like a doll and my feet are my shoes?...That's really weird." Her pale skin just turns heartless black at thigh length and she has no toes , only pointed feet.
her knees has a weird pointed edge on each side.
Now that she looked at her knees, she notices her limbs are kinda thin too.
Also the bottom of the dress keeps giving of a purple black mist.
Witch kinda made her want to run in circle's to see it following her.
Then Of course the most glaringly obvious thing...On the short black dress ,with a heartless symbol, she's wearing , there's something even worse , a hole in the shape of a heart...
all the way thru her chest...
Her eyes widened..,"ok, What ..the hell?".
"im..."
"crap I'm a heartless!"
