A/N: This is my first 'Kingdom Hearts' story, so please no flames. This was inspired by the movie 'The Crow' and is dedicated to my good friend Josh, who is one crazy Kingdom Hearts fan! So, Josh, I hope you like it! Enjoy!
Normal P.O.V.
In a quiet cemetery, there lied two graves with statues of angels on them. The first one one belonged to a girl named Karin Granger, and the one right beside her belonged to her boyfriend Ash Brooks. How they died was a tragic tale, really.
One night while they went out on a walk, and Ash was going to propose to Karin for her hand in marriage. But then they witnessed something bizarre to them, thirteen people in black hoods killing off some strange black looking creatures with some sort of heart shaped symbol on their chests. But one of those cloaked figures spotted them and grabbed them by their arms. As the couple were on the ground, just so one of these cloaked menaces pulled out some kind of gun out of thin air and shot the both of them in the backs multiple times.
But that was a year ago, and now they rest in eternal sorrow knowing they haven't lived their lives fully yet. Then, out of the pouring rain that dampened the ground from which our star-crossed lovers rest underneath, a raven flew and stood on Ash's grave and tapped it several times with it's beak, and after the last time it tapped, a human hand came out of the muddy ground. The full body of Ash Brooks had been resurrected by this raven. Ash then looked to the shadow black colored bird and spoke.
"Why, why did you do this to me?" the raven just said nothing. But then, everything occurred to him in a flashback. He remembered they were murdered, his and Karin's last date on that very day. He whispered the names of all his murderers one by one.
"Xemnas... Xigbar... Xaldin... Vexen... Lexaeus... Zexion... Saix... Axel... Demyx... Luxord... Marluxia... Larxene... Roxas!" he whispered the names of all the people he was killed by as he walked back to his old apartment in Twilight town, and ripping off his burial clothes until he was in just his black boxer briefs. The raven followed him into his apartment and Ash just stared into the mirror of the bathroom and he screamed.
"I WILL KILL YOU ALL FOR THIS!" Ash then punched the mirror and it left a big crack and a bleeding cut on his hand. He looked at his hand and the cut had healed itself in just two seconds of time. He looked to the raven who followed him.
"Is this why you brought me back? To avenge our deaths?" the raven made a nodding gesture. Ash opened the drawer that contained Karin's old makeup. Ash applied some white face makeup on his face to make it all white as a ghost. He then took Karin's favorite black lipstick and drew black circles around his eyes and a black line was drawn down from his forehead down to the bottom of his nose, and he applied the black substance to his lips and made some black lines on his cheeks that represented slash-marks. In Ash's old closet, he grabbed his favorite black, black long sleeved shirt, black jeans, black combat boots, and a black belt with a skull with rubies in the eyes for the belt buckle.
"Now I'm ready!" Ash growled to himself after his clothes were on, indeed, he was ready for some well earned revenge against his killers. The raven let out a slight 'Caw' and turned itself into some sort of spaceship. The ship's design was the shape of a raven's head with folded wings on the jaw, inside the wings were jet turbine engines, and the black paint job matched the color of the bird. Ash let out a small laugh as he ran his fingers through his jet black hair.
"Yes, this may be of some use to me, thank you" Ash then noticed something in cursive writing on the wing of the ship and read it aloud.
"Tobias, that's your name isn't it? Tobias?" he got in the ship and closed the hatch and spoke again.
"I'm sure we're gonna get along just fine, Tobias. As long as you don't slow me down" then on the screen there was a map of worlds with roman numerals on each one.
"These numerals must represent which one is supposed to be there. And the closest one is number II, in a place called 'Alaskan Wilderness'. We're gonna go there first. Tobias, set a coarse for 'Alaskan Wilderness'" Ash gave Tobias his orders and they flew at hyper-drive from Twilight town to 'Alaskan Wilderness'.
