Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy. I just use the characters to make weird but entertaining stories.

Welcome dear guest to the never ending night of Wonderland. My name is Maru and I will be your guide. The story to unfold today is a story of love and justice. In this world hero's exist to protect the world from monsters known as the Heartless. To understand this world you must understand, the powers a hero has is related to what's in their heart. Many heroes' can summon weapons that have great power while others use magic to cast spells that control the elements around them. However in this world when a hero has a child, the child isn't automatically a hero. During childhood, a future hero shows signs of their abilities. There have been many cases where a hero gives birth to a child with no unique powers, but most of these children have a gift to use an element to protect themselves and others. Also schools were developed by former heroes, to help the next generation of heroes to develop their powers. The most prestigious of these Hero schools is the Hearts Academy started by a hero once known for his abilities, Ansem the Wise. Ansem serves as the Headmaster of the school he started over twenty years ago.


Twilight of the Two Moons

Chapter 1: New School

A building zoomed by, as two pair of sapphire blue colored eyes stared at them. The ride to their new school became very boring for the two boys who shared the same color of eyes. "Cloud, do we really have to attend Hearts Academy? Yeah we're the kids of heroes, but that school is better suited those with active powers not kids like me and Roxas," the brunette argued for the thousandth time since their older brother Cloud told them they would be attending the hero school.

Cloud sighed once again and shook his head and tossed his spiky blonde hair. "Sora, you know with the rise of new and more powerful Heartless, that people are going to need all the help they can get. That's why I had you two enrolled at Hearts Academy. It's the best school for heroes and even if you don't have unique powers, the school will prepare you to be able to take out Class B Heartless," Cloud replied again to his younger brother. The Heartless were categorized into classes so Heroes know how powerful these creatures were. The classes went from F to A, the lower in the alphabet they were in placed in by classes, that meant the Heartless was weak. Cloud, a graduate of Hearts Academy, was given a slot at the school to teach the students who used swords how to handle the proper use of their weapons.

Not wanting to leave his brothers to fend for themselves, Cloud arranged for Sora and Roxas to attend the school as well so he can keep an eye on them. The ride to the school lasted another twenty minutes then Sora and the silent Roxas looked at their new school. The twins stared in awe at the large school sitting in the middle of the bay, on its own private island.

Cloud smirked knowing the two would do this but what he didn't expect was for Roxas to say something about the school. "Sora, I think we might like it here."

Once the three brothers drove over the bridge, Cloud dropped them off at the entrance of the school and told them to wait there for him. Sora and Roxas looked around a little and noticed all the boys there were wearing crimson red uniforms, dark blue blazers, white dress shirts, and a crimson tie that matched the jacket of the uniforms. As Sora and Roxas watched as the student walked by, Cloud came up behind them and pushed the two boys forward. Cloud smirked and told them to go into the building in front of them.

The group of three walked into the building and caught the attention of a few students who were heading to class. However with an icy glare from Cloud, the students ran off as if the devil had appeared in front of them. Cloud smirked to himself thinking, 'Hm, still got it.' Cloud guided his brothers into the main office and told them to take a seat. Cloud walked over to the counter and rang the bell that sat there.

A young woman came from out of one of the many offices and approached Cloud. When she saw who was standing there, she ran and jumped the counter and gave Cloud a hug. Sora and Roxas gave the two a confused glance. The woman had chestnut brown hair and her hair was pulled back and tied with a pink ribbon. Cloud gave the woman a small smile and said, "Well, it's nice to know that I wasn't forgotten, how are you Aerith?" The brunette, identified as Aerith, smiled up at her old friend and answered him, "I'm fine Cloudy, so did you finally decide to take up Ansem's offer?" Cloud frowned at the use of his old nickname, while the twins giggled silently. "Yes Aerith, but I had to bring my brothers with me. I just got them back and there's no way I'm leaving them again," Cloud answered the brunette.

By now Roxas was tired of being ignored so he got up and walked over to his brother. "Cloud, are you just gonna be a jerk and not introduce us or do I have to do it myself," Roxas said in a slightly annoyed voice.

Cloud just glared at his younger brother and let Aerith go. He cleared his throat and motioned for Sora to join them. As Sora walked over, Cloud went into a short intro for his brothers. "Aerith, these are the twins I would always talk about when we were in school together. The brunette is Sora, he takes after dad, especially when it comes to personality and the blonde is Roxas, he takes after mom; that's where he gets the attitude from." At Cloud's accusation, Roxas' anger flared as he yelled, "What!?"

Sora sighed knowing this would turn into a fight if he didn't stop them, but Aerith was one step ahead of him. "Cloud, it's not very nice to pick on your brother in such a manner," the older brunette said. Sora was surprised to see that Cloud had actually been affected by her stern but soft tone. The younger brunette had also started thinking that she sounded like their mom when she scolded them. While Sora's thoughts were reflective, Roxas let a smug grin unfold on his face but was stomped out just as fast. "And Roxas, you know your brother was only teasing you; that's not a good reason for you to lose your temper." Now Sora could only stare in shock as Roxas face looked guilty for getting upset.

After getting the two older blondes to straighten up their act, Aerith asked what it was that they needed. "Honestly, Prof. Ansem wanted to see me and the boys before we settled in," Cloud answered. Aerith nodded in understanding, so she went back behind the desk and called up to the headmaster's office. The young woman was on the phone for a few minutes and told them the he was ready to see them. The three Strife boys walked behind the counter and followed Aerith down a long hallway and stood before large French style double doors. Aerith took the handle of the right door and pushed it open. Aerith smiled again as she told them to go ahead inside.

Roxas was the first into the office, with Sora right behind him. As Cloud entered the room, the three glanced around the office and noticed the bookshelves that lined the room's walls. In between certain sections, pictures of Ansem and many of the students he taught sat, or a figure that held sentimental value to Ansem lined the shelves. The three young men continued to observe the room until a deep voiced "Hello" caught their attention. A soft, but deep chuckle came from the same direction as they noticed a large wooden desk sat in the back of the office with a slightly elderly man sitting behind it.

The elder man had long light blond hair pulled back, his skin was lightly tanned, and his eyes were an unusual golden-orange color. "Hello gentlemen, I'm sorry if I surprised you, but I think it's best if you get things moving along," Ansem said with a polite and friendly tone. Sora, Roxas and Cloud walked to the man's desk and took a seat in the chairs created with a wave of his hand. "I know you all have traveled a great distance to attend this school, so I'd like to keep the meeting brief so you two can get some rest and relax a little."

With that said, Sora started to inquire on their acceptance. "Prof Ansem, I understand that Cloud was offered a teaching position here, and he refused to leave us behind, but is that the only reason we were accepted to your school?"

Ansem looked at Sora and Roxas and interlocked his fingers. "To answer your question honestly Sora, no, that was not the reason we accepted you here. You and your brother have a great deal of strength and I believe with this school's help you two can help protect a great deal of people just as your older brother has done," Ansem answered looking at the twin seriously.

Next Roxas began to speak. "But sir, how can we do that? Sora and I don't have a power of our own. Even if we learned how to control an element how can it be that strong? If it were wouldn't we just have a unique ability already?"

Ansem nodded in understanding of Roxas' concern but stated, "That is true, but I believe no matter what if you are a hero that has a unique power, or just the ability to use an element, that is enough to protect the ones you love. You two were born from a loving family of heroes and I want the power that was passed on to you two to grow." Ansem's voice was filled with a fatherly pride and a want to help them grow stronger. Once the twins heard the older gentleman speak to them, they gave in and officially accepted the transfer to Hearts Academy.
