Kingdom Hearts Alpha
For this new story here, I wanted to try something new, by taking pieces from installments like Birth by Sleep and the original beta of the first Kingdom Hearts to create a take on Kingdom Hearts that follows a revised version of Sora's quest. It'll include story details from the original game, as well as unused things from the original pitches of the game (also drawing inspiration for the story's direction and tone from franchises like Wizard of Oz, Disney's own Pirates of the Caribbean, and Star Wars), all overarching to the general mythos of the series. I hope you enjoy this prologue trailer!
Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts or any of it's characters and settings. They belong to Square Enix and Disney.
Chapter 1: Trailer/Prologue
Disney and Square Enix present...
(Dive Into the Heart- Destati, 1.5 Edition plays)
A young boy falls through a dark abyss as a voice calls out to him, asking him what he values the most, and if he is ready for the task at hand, as he lands on a stained-glass platform of the princess Snow White. The boy's name is Sora, and he is destined for a noble task.
"Say, Kairi, what was your hometown like? Y'know, where you grew up?" Sora asks his best friend Kairi among the shores of Destiny Islands, his childhood home.
"I told you before. I don't remember. But, I wouldn't mind going to see it." Kairi responds.
"If there any other worlds out there, why did we end up on this one?" Sora's other friend, Riku, inquired as the trio sat by their usual spot at the foot of a low-hanging papou tree. "And if they're out there, then this world's just a piece of something far greater."
Sometime later, Sora is ambushed by a hooded figure who warns him that his world is tied to the fastly-approaching darkness, doomed to be eclipsed and brought to ruin.
"Kairi, Riku! What's going on?" Sora asks as his world laters crumbles away when shadow monsters attack. Now brandishing a chainsaw-like sword, Sora is unsuccessful in saving his world, but is saved from being swept away by a mysterious figure.
"They will come for you out of nowhere, as long as you continue to wield the Keyblade." a man named Leon told Sora. He is allied by a blue-haired woman, who also wields the same kind of weapon Sora does, as an anthromorphic duck and dog search around for a boy with "the key to saving everything". The four eventually meet after fighting the same kind of shadow monsters from the islands and team up to travel the worlds. Several places flash by until Sora sees a vision of Riku beckoning to him.
"Yes, Sora. Your heart, your very being, will be extinguished!" This angers Sora enough to attack him, as one last phrase echoes in his mind. "Sora... please don't go."
KINGDOM HEARTS ALPHA
Prologue
I've been having these weird thoughts lately... like, is any of this for real or not?
A young boy with spiky brown hair in a red and blue vest and a conspicuous cat tail is falling through a watery void, surrounded by nothing. The boy slowly awakes as he is plummeting through the space with no real purpose, until he flashes back to standing on a beach shore. In front of him was a silver-haired figure standing in front of the surf. The first boy went over to greet him, only to see the waters recede back into a tidal wave that threatened to sweep his friend away.
You're giving me too many things
Lately, you're all I need; coming home
You smiled at me, and said:
The boy then dived into the water after his friend as he reached out for him while fading away. Pushing through the currents proved futile however, as he was swept away.
"Don't get me wrong, I love you
But does that mean I have to meet your father?"
When we're older then you'll understand what I meant
When I said no
I don't think life is that simple.
Emerging from under the water, the boy coughed and sputtered out for air as he saw a girl with red hair and a white tank top waiting for him. Paddling back to shore, the two of them talked to each other as the girl was jokingly giving the boy a hard time, before they turned towards the sky, witnessing a meteor shower. One meteor looked rather familiar to him, as he saw... himself!
When you walk away you don't hear me say
Please, oh baby, don't go
Simple and Clean is the way you're making me feel tonight
It's hard to let it go.
Hold me, whatever lies beyond this morning
Is a little later on.
Regardless of warnings, the future doesn't scare me at all.
Nothing's like before.
Falling backwards, the two desperately reached for each other, before the boy was sent back into falling in his void before he finally landed on solid ground. The boy looked around and took a step forward, as a blinding light shone through. Shielding his eyes, the boy soon noticed a flock of birds clearing the shadows beneath his feet. It was a dive into his own heart, and it would lead this boy, Sora, on the beginning of an adventure that would change his and his friends' outlooks on life.
And that concludes the opening of the story. I hope you enjoyed this little tease of what's to come, and please remember to review and share this story to help spread awareness and keep it going.
