Brave Frontier: Heroes of Grand Gaia

"Oh man, oh man, I gotta hurry!" A young boy said while running down to the train station.

This boy was about your average teenager with average height and was quite skinny. He had spiky brown hair and bright blue eyes. He wore a black shirt that had red and yellow linings all over with what looked like silver pads on his shoulders and wore black fingerless gloves with red and yellow linings all over. He also wore a pair of long black shorts with red and yellow linings and had about two red sags on each side. He also wore a pair of yellow shoes that had black linings all over. His name was Sora, and right now he was in Twilight Town while he was skateboarding down to the train terminal in a hurry.

"Man this is just great. Sometimes I wonder how I came rushing down here in the first place." Sora thought.

25 minutes ago…

Sora was walking around in the grand canyon of Radiant Garden, together with two of his most faithful companion. The first was a short duck who despite was lacking strength made up for it with magic. His name was Donald. The second was a tall dog-like looking creature who had no magic abilities, but had strength with his trusty shield; his name was Goofy, due to his "odd" appearance. The three of them were just taking a stroll down the canyon after taking care of an incident that included going through a world inside a computer.

"Ah, it's great to know that Tron is still alive, right guys?" Sora asked.

"Yep, who would've thought he would take over the system after we took out that MCP thingy or whatever." Goofy said in response.

"And who would've thought that thanks to him, Hollow Bastion found its real name again." Donald said.

"Yeah, all in a day's work for the heroes right?" Sora asked in which Donald and Goofy nodded in response.

However as they were walking, Sora stopped for a moment and turned around. It was strange, but for some reason he felt an ominous presence.

Donald took notice of this and asked, "What's wrong Sora?"

Sora, who was still looking the other way, replied and asked, "Did you guys feel something?"

Donald and Goofy were confused by what the young boy was asking them. They thought he was crazy as he usually was. However, the two of them have known Sora for a long time, and they know he would never lie to them. But still, they were concerned that the aftermath of Space Paranoids might have caused Sora to go on edge. After all, getting deleted and killed were all the same in a manner.

"We didn't see anything." Goofy said.

"Sure you're not imaging it?" Donald asked.

Sora couldn't help but look back at a while. However, for a few minutes he thought it was nothing and decided to brush it off.

"Sorry you guys, I thought I-"

However, to his shook, something happened as he turned around. He saw Donald and Goofy, but for some reason, they weren't moving. It wasn't because they were waiting for him, but it was something else. He looked around his area, and he noticed the clouds weren't moving as well. It was strange; everything in his surroundings was frozen as if the foundations of time had halted. He ran to his friends to see if they were alright. However, a mysterious light shone towards him. The light grew very intense, and continued to shine as Sora tried to protect himself from the light. Soon, the light died down. Sora was then caught in what looked a pitch black void. The light materialized again, only this time, it was smaller. Sora was curious as to what the light was or why it summoned him here. And then, the light began to speak to him

"Hero, I beckon you to come forth."

Sora was confused as to what the light was talking about, but there was no doubt that the light was speaking to him. He creept up slowly while ensuring to keep his guard up.

"Who…are you?"

"My name is Lucius…and I apologize for the inconvenience, but I need your help."

"My help? What's wrong?"

"I would explain, but I don't have much time. Soon, the Maxwell and his foul creations will return. And right now, you are the sixth and final person who the Six Heroes have chosen to save Grand Gaia."

"Six Heroes? Grand Gaia? I don't understand, what are you-"

"There's no time to explain. The train will soon leave at 5:30 and the other five have already assembled waiting for you. These five just like you were chosen by the six heroes to defend Grand Gaia and all of the worlds from Maxwell."

"I have no idea what's going on. But… if something bad is happening, then you just called the right guy for the job!"

"Thank you. Before you go, I want you take this."

In front of Sora, a strange bright red crystal in the shape of a burning flame materialized in front of Sora. Sora held out his hand as the crystal landed softly in his hand.

"Keep that with you, for you will soon learn the purpose of the crystal soon enough. Now you must head to the train terminal in Twilight Town. Don't worry, I'll use my magic to transport you there."

"Wait! What about Donald and Goofy?"

"I am sorry, but this is a journey for the successors of the Six Heroes only. So I'm afraid your friends can't come with you."

"Oh, I see…"

"Don't worry; I understand that like the others you are also facing a difficult threat to your own world as well, key bearer. So I will make sure to cover up your absence and make sure that your enemies will not follow."

"Thanks, that's really-hey wait a minute, how do you know about the Keyblade and me."

However, Lucius began to shine even brighter, and the void was disappearing.

"I am sending you to Twilight Town right now. Good luck on your journey Sora, and may the powers of the six elements protect you and your newfound comrades."

And in an instant, Sora was transported in the sandlot of Twilight Town.

Minutes later…

After Sora and Lucius's brief meeting, the latter found himself transported to Twilight Town. He was amazed by how the strange entity managed to bring him here in such a short notice. However, it seems he would have a lot of explaining to do to Donald and Goofy. However, now wasn't the time to worry. Lucius and whatever world he came from were in danger, and decided best to follow his heart and believe in what Lucius said.

"Guess I can explain to Donald and Goofy later, but I got more important things to worry about," Sora said. "Okay Lucius said that a train that's waiting for me will be heading out at 5:30. I wonder what time it is now."

Sora then remembered about the huge clock tower that's seen everywhere. Using his head, he decided to take a look, and unfortunately, luck was not on his side. The train ride would start at 5:30 and for him, it was 5:25.

"5:25?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME? EITHER IT TOOK TWENTY FIVE MINUTES TO HELP OUT TRON OR LUCIUS FAST FORWARDED TIME SOMEHOW! I GOTTA HURRY!"

Sora decided to make a dash for the train; or rather he took a "board" for the train. Remembering the area very well, Sora remembered there was always a skateboard near the area of the sandlot. Why a board was left there was unknown, but Sora didn't care for the moment and decided to roll with it. He got on the board a started to skate as fast as he possibly could. And while he was skating, he saw three familiar faces.

One of them was a kid with messy blonde hair. He had brown eyes and was wearing a black shirt with a cross bones design on it. He wore a camouflage vest and a pair of camouflage pants along with a pair of camouflage shoes with the tip being white.

The second one was a large kid with a messy brown top. He wore what looked like a red jersey with a cross bones design with a white shirt on the inside. He also had brown eyes and wore a white headband with blue linings. He also sported a pair of blue saggy pants and wore a pair of blue and white sneakers.

The third was a girl with brown hair. She had green eyes and wore an orange tank top that had a floral design with a pair of Khaki capri pants. She also wore a pair of orange socks with a pair of orange and white shoes.

These three were Hayner, Pence, and Olette. These three were residents of Twilight Town, and they were good friends with Sora. Had Sora not been in a rush, he would have stopped to say high. However, time was off the essence, and Sora knew he had no time to waste. He skateboarded so fast, he almost ran over Pence, who was carrying bags for Olette along with Hayner. The three were confused as to what they just saw, until they looked the other way.

"Sorry guys, I'm in a hurry!"

The three of them were confused as to who it was, but after a brief glance, the three realized it was Sora who skateboarded past theme.

Pence was still startled and said, "Hey guys…was that…Sora just now."

And in response, the two of them nodded in response.

Meanwhile with Sora…

"Oh man, Oh man, I gotta hury!"

About two minutes were left with Sora. He unfortunately wasted most of his time going through a crowd that was watching a sudden street performance. And he wasted even more time while trying to avoid getting crushed by a wagon filled with junk. Surely fate was cruel to him at the moment.

"Man, this is just great. Sometimes I wonder how I came rushing down here in the first place."

As Sora was near the terminal station, he looked at the clock once again. Now the clock had moved up to 5:29.

"Awww, c'mon! What the heck does time have against me anyway?"

Sora soon found himself near the terminal station. He dropped the skateboard and attempted to make a run for it. He ran towards the entrance and luckily, the train hadn't left yet. The young hero could finally breathe easy. However, just as he was catching his breath, he looked to see that he had failed to realize something.

"Uh, wait a minute, which train is mine?"

And just as he said that, a blue train was about to leave the terminal. It was probably without a doubt the train Lucius told him to get on.

"C'mon, that's just not fair!"

Realizing he had no time to lose, he attempted to dash for the train and hopefully jump aboard. The train would no doubt reach the gate, and it would be at the end of that. Sora ran with all his might, and just as he made the final step. Just as the train was leaving the gate, Sora used all he could and made a final leap towards the train. Luckily, fate was on his side.

With his lucky gamble pulled off, Sora successfully managed to land at the back of the train. At last the young spiky-haired hero could rest easy. Deciding to take a rest after his "Pandamonic" express, he went immediately inside and hope he get an easy rest. He was also curious as to who these other five heroes were. As he entered inside, the interior of the trains was quite lively. The walls were quite solid, and the seats looked quite comfy. The windows were quite clear, and it looked like no one was in this part of the train. Sora thought the others were in the other parts of the train, so he decided to head forward. That was, until a familiar voice came to him.

"Bout time, didn't expect to see you here."

Sora turned around to see who it was, and he was in for quite a surprise. It was a tall young man who had about an average build to him and had spiky blonde hair. He wore what looked like a mercenary attire. He wore about a black shirt with that had no sleeves on his right arm, and was covered by a sleeve on his left with a black shoulder pad. He wore a pair of black pants with black boots and a black cloth covering his lower half. Strung to his back was a large object that was covered in bandages. His shirt held an emblem that represented Fenrir.

This man was known as Cloud Strife, and he is a friend and ally of Sora's

"Cloud…you too?"

And that's where I'll leave it for now. I'm still writing Fairy Tail: Legend of Guan Suo, but this was a story I really wanted to write. This story will contain elements from Digimon Frontier, such as spirits and evolutions. As for the characters, two are from Kingdom Hearts, three from a different anime series, and one from a video game. You already meet two, the other four you'll have to meet next time. Also this story takes place in a game known as Brave Frontier.

Sora meets with his friend Cloud, but who are the other four that were summoned by Lucius? And what's this about Grand Gaia and Six Heroes? Find out next time on Brave Frontier: Heroes of Grand Gaia.

Thank You and good-bye.
