Hey, InfernalFox here!

So… I really shouldn't be doing this…. but I can't help it. So, ready or not, here I go!

(WARNING: This AU is REALLY AU. Like, not a whole another dimension, but near. Shit is gonna get crazy)

Also, there is no really defined timeline yet, im working on it. That may affect the story, and if it gets bad, I'll force a rewrite. I'm also a procrastinator. Just a warning.

And now… to the story

EDIT February 7 2018: Fixed small mistakes and grammar errors

EDIT February 17 2018: Added full Summary

Summary: Both Radiant Garden and Destiny Islands fell at the same time. With both Sora and Riku at the enemy's side since the beginning, and Kairi in the Realm of Darkness, how will this affect the story?

This is where it all began. Where friendships were forged, where Origins were made. Where Memories were lost. The Land is Dark, The Sky is Nothing and the Sea is Lost. The Dark One is suddenly not so alone and The Light One may be Sleeping, but that doesn't mean he's out of the game just yet. The Water has found her Sea, but Darkness and Nothing holds the other two.

What will happen in the Split Roads?

EDIT March 8 2018: changed ages

Sora smiled as the warm sun of Destiny Islands sent its daily farewell as it set in another beautiful sunset.

"Woooow" Sora, a 6 years old boy with stunning blue eyes, said to his friends "the sunset is so pretty!"

Riku, his best friend who was 7 years old, snorted in amusement "You consider everything pretty"

This made their redhead female friend laugh and say "True!"

It had been another mundane day in the small world of Destiny Islands. As they did every day, they had played in the islands, made some childish drawings in the secret cave, try to pry the mysterious door that was in there open, played tag, and of course the boys had sparred as Kairi kept score.

But now the sun was setting after a long day, and that normally meant they had to go home. But not today, because they had asked their respective parents (biological or not), if they could camp in the Play Island, and spend the night there. Since the Destiny Islands weren't very big (and everyone knew everyone as a result), and it wasn't the first time they had done so, their parents allowed them to camp in the Play Island, with the condition of not whining (this was mostly for Sora) when Sora's father picked them up in the morning.

The tents had already been built by the grownups, and they also had left some fish for them to eat for dinner, so all they had to do was cook it. And decide who should gather wood.

"I say Sora should cook the fish! I'll gather the wood!" said Riku, clearly wanting to go "gather wood" and use the opportunity to inspect once again the knobless door in the Secret Place.

"Nuh-uh! I wanna get the wood, why doesn't Kairi do it?" said Sora pouting.

"Too bad, I picked it first!" answered Riku, clearly not going to give up.

"well, we need more wood before cooking the fish!" Sora retorted.

"Well-" Riku's answer was cut as Kairi ended the argument, ever the peacekeeper between the trio.

"Why don't you two gather more wood while I cook the fish? I think there is enough for now, but we need more if we don't want the fire to go out for the whole night"

Riku and Sora nodded at this, both happy with the arrangements, and left to do the assigned task.

Sora immediately went to the inside of one of the "treehouses" that connected the small island, and got some of the wood that was stored in there. He set the small branches and chopped wood in a small pile near the door so he could get it more easily later, and then left to get the wood sword he had, so he could "challenge" Riku tonight before going to sleep.

He then started walking towards the Secret Place, where he planned to draw some more in the walls. Just yesterday, he drew Kairi, and he wanted to add a Paopu Fruit to that.

Just as he was about to enter, a strong wind came out, and clouds quickly covered the sky. The wind sent him flying, and with a surprised yelp, he fell into the water of the pond.

Instead of the normal lukewarm water, the water was strangely cold, and Sora, who had been overtaken by surprise as he fell, (and by consequence, hadn't been able to take a gulp of air) found himself swallowing water. He sat upright, immediately coming in contact with a stormy sky with no rain and coughed, trying to get some needed air in his lungs while expelling the swallowed water. When he finally got out of the slippery pond, he found himself alone, with an aching throat, and a miserable pile of wet Sora, who was trying REALLY hard not to cry.

But as he looked around the darkened island, desperate to find one of his friends, only to come empty handed, he saw some malicious yellow eyes. He took a step back, frightened, only to find air and slip once again into the pond. He hit his head hard, and once again swallowed water. The yellow eyes that were on the ground rose, and it turned out to belong to twitching beasts with dark claws and hungry gazes, beasts worth of a nightmare, that immediately jumped to attack with killing intent.

Sora let out a frightened sound, and tried to block with his arm, only to cry in pain as sharp claws tore through flesh, and he started to bleed profusely. He quickly got up, dodging another incoming attack, and started running towards the bridge, letting another cry as a claw slashed at his foot, hitting his ankle. He ran and ran, crying and coughing, bleeding and sneezing. He looked back, only to find the monsters chasing him, and he cried even harder, body aching from exhaustion and blood loss.

He tripped, and almost fell over. He ran to the Paopu Tree, with the yellow eyed monsters chasing him through the wood bridge, and tripped again, this time falling. He turned around with dark claws jumping at him, and felt that his body freeze in shock.

Sora whimpered, full of emotion, when a sudden flash of… something struck him.

He felt something awakening inside of him, a dark presence that was somehow comforting. A sleepy grumble was heard in his head, and suddenly he felt his emotions leave him momentarily.

There was a flash of darkness, a white armor that he knew had come from him and then he fell into a puddle of darkness that had popped under him.

Somehow, as he fell into the sticky nothingness, he knew the name of his guardian. In the future, when people asked him how he knew when he told them this, he just said that a voice in his head told him.

Unversed

It's a… Trinity Armor

And…. Done!

As you can see, shit has gone crazy just in the first chapter. Someone opens the door, (9-10 years earlier? I think? still working on details) and Sora calls on the Unversed. And gets pretty badly hurt. That may be important in the future, just you know. Like I told you, a WIP.

PLEASE REVIEW. IT'S HOW I GET MOTIVATED TO KEEP GOING.

InfernalFox OUT!
