I woke up and opened my eyes. A blackish blue sky stared back at me peppered with stars. I groaned and pulled myself into a sitting position. I was in an alley in a place I didn't recognize. I wobbled to my feet and started walking. I found myself in a town square of sorts with a small fountain and some shops nearby. I found it strange that nobody else was around. I heard the rattling of metal and turned to see three weird creatures appear from black portals. They had blue skin, black shoes, red claws, and a metal knight helmet. The weirdest part about them though was a black heart with a red X on it in the center of their chests.
They all turned their heads to me and froze. Before I could react they were dashing at me. I turned and ran in the opposite direction the sound of clanking metal getting closer. I ran for the fountain and jumped on the figurehead and tried to scramble over the wall. I felt a cold hand grab my angle and the next thing I knew I was yanked away from the wall and tossed to the ground. I got to my feet and felt searing pain on my chest. I looked down and there were long claw marks that cut through my shirt and one of the creatures was to my right with its arm extended with blood… my blood dripping from its claws. I looked again and the areas around the shirt were darkening fast. I stumbled backwards as the three creatures closed in on me.
My left hand was on my chest and my right was out in front of me. "Stop! Stay the hell away from me!" I shouted at them. My hand glowed orange and then a ball of fire shot from it and struck the center creature. It ignited then burst into streams of black and purple and what looked like a heart floated into the sky. The other two creatures kept approaching, their blood red claws clacking together. I fell back landing in a seated position, completely exhausted. With blood flowing over my left hand and my right not producing anymore fire I closed my eyes and waited for it to end. I heard the rattling come closer and closer until I could feel those things inches from me.
"Hey there Heartless, how about you leave him alone and focus on me." I opened my eyes to see a tall figure standing behind the two creatures. He wore black pants with flames up the side and a matching hoodie with half-length sleeves. He had long red/orange hair that ended in spikes. He swung his right arm out and a red spiked ring appeared in his hand that had a long spout of flame coming from it. The creatures' yellow eyes flashed and they charged the mysterious man. He swung his weapon twice and both creatures disappeared in black and purple streams with two more hearts floating away.
The guy walked over to me. "Those Heartless worked you over pretty good didn't they?" He walked closer and saw the blood flowing from my chest. "Oh wow, let me take care of that. Hold still." He placed the end of the sword looking weapon inches from my chest. "Cure." The man said. The end of his weapon glowed green as did my chest. When I looked back down there wasn't any blood and I couldn't feel the cuts on my chest anymore. The man stuck out his hand and helped me to my feet.
"Thanks." I said dusting myself off.
"It's no trouble. It comes with being a Keyblade Wielder." As he said it he swung what must've been this Keyblade and it disappeared in a small burst of flame. "The name's Lea. Got it memorized?" He asked tapping the side of his head. "What's your name kid?"
I was ready to answer him when I stopped. "I don't know."
