Master Yen Sid watched his students train in the school's courtyard. Then he turned his eyes to a long spiky haired, with a padawan braid in the back, boy in a black thin jean jacket, which had white keyhole design on the back, with dark white pants on and black sneakers. The young boy was showing much spirit while swinging his Keyblade, Kingdom Key, at the animated wood training dummy. Slowly the other students began to crowd around him, cheering his name. Suddenly his Keyblade became surrounded with aura took shape of a long sword then he sliced the dummy's wooden sword in half. The boy cloaked his Keyblade with ice and hits the enemy with a spiral jumping attack after which ice bursts from the ground, incasing the dummy in frozen crystal. Yen Sid opened a dimensional screen that appeared before Duke of Soleanna.
"Oh Yen Sid, what an unexpecting surprise. I'm not used to you calling me like this." The Duke said wondering what was going on.
"I'm calling for a simple matter really, I'm sending you one of my students for an internship His name is Ozuma von Dragonic." Yen Sid made a video image of the boy, who just defeated a training dummy a few seconds ago, appear before the Duke.
"He certainly is a spirited young man isn't he? Sure, I will be more than honored to have him do his internship in Soleanna."
"Thank you old friend."
"Yen Sid, before you go, will you be joining us tomorrow tonight for the Festival of Sun?"
"I'm afraid not, my place belongs here at my school for the time being."
"Oh that's too bad; I was looking forward to spending time will my old friend."
"Perhaps another time, we are short on teachers right now. My student will be there shortly."
"Ok, old friend, I will be waiting to see the young man in action."
The screen closed as Yen Sid appeared in the school's courtyard. The cheering crowd went silent as he approached Ozuma while they moved out his way. Ozuma looked at him and before any of them could say a word or blink, Yen Sid had teleport himself and his student to his office. Ozuma was surprised that he could do teleport so quickly, and without him noticing
"Maybe the rumors are true, that Yen Sid was once a very powerful magical Keyblade Paladin." Ozuma thought to himself.
"It's no rumor, in fact I was a Keyblade Paladin during my youth. A gifted one indeed." Yen Sid used his magic to make his photo album appear, floating in mid-air, before Ozuma.
"Oh I'm sorry Master... I didn't mean to-"
"It's quite alright, Ozuma. But I didn't call you hear to clear up a rumor but to grant you internship to see another world or possibly many."
"Really? You think I am ready?"
"I watched you train in the courtyard, I'm impressed by skills. You disarmed your opponent then froze him in ice. I do believe that you are ready."
"Thank you Master Yen Sid! I won't fail you!" Ozuma bowed before him.
"Your internship starts tomorrow, report here in the morning. For now I want you to do research on Soleanna."
"Soleanna? I never heard of such a world."
"It's not a world but a coastal city-state, country, and kingdom on Earth."
"E-Earth?"
"Yes, Earth. I suggest you begin your research immediately."
"Of course!" Ozuma quickly ran out his office and toward the library.
The other students wondered what was going on as they watched Ozuma ran past them. That night, Ozuma learned all he could about Earth. The librarian periodically brought him coffee to keep him awake as he read several books throughout the night. He was intrigued by Earth's and Soleanna's proud history. Eventually Ozuma fell asleep while reading at the table, the librarian put a blanket on top of him and turned off the lights.
The next morning he awoke with a yawn, then slapped himself so he would fully awaken and ran to Yen Sid's office. There Ansem the Wise (aka Diz) and Yen Sid stood waiting for him.
"So what did you learn?" Ansem the Wise questioned.
"A lot actually, Soleanna is a truly important cultural center, filled with ancient temples, theaters and fabulous cuisines. For many years the city has kept their old traditions alive through the centuries, but little is known the city's true origins."
"What drives their economy?"
"Tourism and for a small country, Soleanna is pretty wealthy."
"What about the Soleanna Sun Festival?"
"The sun has been always sacred in the city, it is an important part of the culture of Soleanna. It is the most famous event there and countless citizens give thanks the stars by honoring the traditional sun god, Solaris. The festival is being held at night, but all buildings and towers are well lighted and fireworks are launched."
"What else did you learn?"
"The older portion of the city of Soleanna, Castle Town, oddly does not contain a castle. The royal residence, in fact, lies on its own tiny island offshore, and although viewable from the shore. Soleanna is the holder of the Apple festival too, although it isn't as famous as the Sun Festival. The city isn't as well-decorated, but the people enjoy this happy event, as the quality of the Soleanna apples are world-famous thus increasing tourism."
"Good, I believe you are ready to be on your way."
"But I have to ask, why did they name the planet Earth?"
"Even we have no clear idea why, Earthians can be idiotic at times. Since we are human-like beings, you will blend in perfectly but no magic or use of your Keyblade unless necessary. And you're representing KeyKnight Academy."
"Yes sir."
Ansem the Wise walked over and handed Ozuma a brand new backpack filled with standard supplies. He nodded at them and left the room, running down the stairs and into the courtyard. For a moment Ozuma stood there and looked around the training field, this school was like his home. Eventually he would graduate and have to leave. Then Ozuma continued running, he knew that his last few moments enrolled at this school mattered – The plan was to aim for the top and leave in style.
Aqua watched him as she sat on top of a nearby roof. The way Ozuma ran reminded her of Ven, and a tear ran down her cheek but she quickly wiped it away remembering the promise that was made years ago. He approached a purple train car with yellow stars on it, the doors gradually opened. Ozuma stepped inside and the door closed behind him as he sat down in a nearby seat, taking off his backpack. A small book fell out for one of the pockets of the bag, so he leaned down to pick up. The book enlarged when Ozuma touched it, a note was sticking out from it. He gently pulled the note out, noticing it was from Yen Sid, then unfolded it and read:
"Dear Ozuma,
Ever since you came to my school, I have kept a watchful eye on your progress. You are no longer that naive child that just wanted to prove himself, now you've shown the mark of a true hero. One day, you will make a fine Keyblade Master or Keyblade Paladin. This notebook is for you to keep all your personal thoughts in as well as data. I will also keep you updated as well. I await your return.
Sign,
Master Yen Sid"
"He has faith in me, believing that can do this and has the potential to be the best. I won't let him down! For KeyKnight Academy!" Ozuma stood up and threw his fist up into the air while summoning the Kingdom Key. Then sat back down, putting away his Keyblade and pull out his MP3 Player from his pocket.
As the train gradually slowed down then it suddenly changed into a high speed jet plane and flew off toward Soleanna. Eight hours and 30 minutes later, the jet reached Soleanna and hovered ten feet over the ground. Ozuma put on his backpack then jumped off the jet. As Ozuma fell, he quickly snapped him fingers together and created a cyclone bubble on the ground where he was going to land. He landed gently, and quickly looked around. Ozuma saw no one there, so he was safe for the moment then made his way toward the central part of downtown.
When he got there, a wonderfully fancy boat was passing by him, heading toward the "Altar of Light". Ozuma noticed a beautiful young girl wearing a short white princess dress, with brownish orange stockings with heels on. He also noticed her shoulder length red hair, and blue eyes. She waved at the people while dancers gracefully dance behind her in yellow dresses. For a second, their eyes locked on to one another. Ozuma followed the boat by land as it sailed toward the altar.
The princess stepped off the boat when it arrived at the altar, followed by the Ladies-in-waiting then the bishop greeted and handed her the torch.
"We give thanks for the blessed flames. May we always continue to have peace. Sun of Soleanna, guide and watch over us with your eternal light." She said as the altar was lit by the torch.
The altar shined brightly, and the fireworks were launched. Just as she took a step back, a gang of Nova Shadows slowly came out the ground surrounding her as multiple Shadows arose in the crowds of people. The citizens screamed in horror as they ran. Ozuma instinctively summoned the Kingdom Key to his hand, then locked on the Nova Shadows and blasted them with a single salvo of light projectiles just as they tried to attack the princess.
She turned and looked at him, Ozuma gave her a thumbs up and raced off to stop the other Heartless. Before she could say anything, he was gone and police had arrived on another boat to escort her home.
The Next Morning
After a long night of fighting numerous Heartless, Ozuma was worn out and tired. He flopped down in a near by chair, outside of a café, then looked up at the clouds, wandering why the Heartless attacked last night during the festival.
"What could've made them so active in a place like this? I mean don't get me wrong, they seek other living hearts but to attack crowds of people at one time isn't normal." Ozuma said to himself as he pulled out his communicator.
"Are you the boy that saved the princess last night from those horrible creatures?" A police officer questioned him as he walked passed Ozuma then stopped.
"Yes, I did but-"
"You are the primary suspect in our investigation, please come with me."
"And if I refuse?"
"I don't think you want to."
Why not-" Ozuma noticed there were five red dots on him.
"Well what shall it be?"
"I will come with you."
"Good." The officer slightly move his headgear to the left and the red dots all disappeared.
"Could I at least get some coffee like an Iced Carmel Macho Frappuccino?"
"Yes, if you are not convicted."
"But I didn't do anything-"
"Save it for the judge. Now come on, I don't have all day." The officer yanked Ozuma out of his seat, with his stuff, and started dragging him to the station. "Hey, let me go. There is some kind of misunderstanding we have here, I'm supposed to be the hero." Ozuma quickly pulled away.
"Ah-ha! So you do admit that you caused the attack last night!"
"No way! I would never do something like that, its against everything I stand for."
"If that is true, then corporate with us so we clear this 'misunderstanding'."
"Lead the way then."
The officer pulled out a pair of hand cuffs and cuffed Ozuma's wrists together. They walked through the town toward the docks. People were giving him a weird look as he past them. It wasn't a pleasing look, one mother shielded her son as if Ozuma was going to strike. It seemed that all of Soleanna believed that he was behind everything, but even he felt bad for himself. A few people were consumed by the darkness and turned into Heartless that night. He could only blame one person, himself, for not getting there in time to save those innocent people. Ozuma started holding his head down as he continued walking.
The officer lead him to a pier, where a patrol boat was waiting for them. Many more officers came and helped escort Ozuma onto the boat slowly then traveled to the royal family's home on an island just off the shore. During the short trip there, Ozuma did not say a word not even to himself. When the boat arrived, royal guards came aboard and grabbed him, putting a restraining collar around his neck. They pushed him off the boat and dragged him inside to the Duke of Soleanna's throne room.
"So you must be the terrorist who released those fiends and attacked them just to be seen as a hero?" The Duke said with an extremely displeased tone in his voice.
"It seems to be that way..." Ozuma replied holding his head down.
"Who sent you here?"
"Well if you must know, I was sent here on internship by Yen Sid-"
"Yen Sid sent you? Wait a second, you're that boy I saw in the video."
"Yup, I'm Ozuma von Dragonic."
"I'm sorry, please forgive us for this misunderstanding. Guards free him now." As the Duke ordered the guards removed the collar and the handcuffs from Ozuma.
"That feels a lot better... But I'm sorry to say, I have to return to school with my head down in decrees. I...I didn't get there fast enough, few people were consumed by the darkness. I feel so weak."
"The first step in becoming stronger is knowing when you are weak, and train hard so that the same mistake doesn't happen twice."
"That's why I have to go.."
"I haven't even thanked you for saving my daughter and the princess of Soleanna, Elise III. " Just as he spoke her name she walked in.
Ozuma glanced at her and his mouth slightly dropped open. He had never seen a more beautiful girl in his life, up close. His heart started beat a little faster and felt like it was coming out of his chest.
"Well its an honor to finally met you Princess Elise of Soleanna." Ozuma bowed before her.
"No, the pleasure is all mine. I get the chance to met the man who saved me from those horrible creatures. To thank you for your courageous and selfless efforts, how about you join us for breakfast? And afterward, we this whole mishaps straightened out." Elise walked over to him.
"I would be more than honored to join the royal family."
"Follow me then." Elise walked passed him, heading toward the dinning hall with her father.
"Oh, so its that way." Ozuma quickly turned around and caught up with her.
"Where are you from?"
"I'm from a galaxy, far, far away. My home world is Hexyz Force, I was born in Rosenbaum Kingdom."
"So you're from a distant planet?"
"Yes, I'm not supposed to tell you this but every star in the night sky is another world. There are thousands upon millions of other worlds in the universe."
"Wow, how are you tied into all this?"
"I'm a Keyblade wielder, my job, as well as many others, is to make sure all the worlds stay balanced."
"That must be a really tough job, doing it all by yourself."
"I mostly do work alone on missions."
"That's amazing, I bet it gets lonely out there."
"Sometimes it does, I've been to worlds that were abandoned and or consumed by the darkness."
"Oh my! How did you ever survive such places?" Elise looked shockingly at Ozuma.
"Well, its what I'm trained to do - Fight the darkness."
"And saving princesses?"
"Saving you was like a dream come true."
Elise giggled at Ozuma's response, he smiled and laughed a bit. When they got to the table in the dinning hall, Ozuma pulled out Elise's chair and pushed in as she sat down.
"Well quite the gentleman now aren't you boy?" The Duke asked walking to the other end of the table and sat down across from Elise.
"Thank you sir." Ozuma responded taking a seat on the right side of Elise.
"Tell me something about yourself."
"Well at the age of 4, I was founded by a Jedi Master, named Mace Windu, and I trained under him till I was 10."
"Jedi? What in the name of Solaris are they?"
"They are guardians of the universe-"
"I thought the Keyblade wielders were the guardians?" Elise confusedly intercepted.
"Perhaps I didn't clarify, the Keyblade bearers are individuals who have a strong enough heart which allows them to wield key-like weapons that banish the darkness. The Jedi's are a society, who use the force guard the universe from threats. To put it simple, the Keyblade wielders handle all the creep crawlies while the Jedi keeps wars between groups from starting." Ozuma responded.
"I see, so what are you really? A Jedi or Keyblade wielder?" The Duke asked him.
"Well, I'm both. I have some Jedi training that helps me keep my cool under pressure and my Keyblade training allows me to fight the darkness."
"I can tell that you're full of surprises for a young man."
"Indeed I am."
Three servants came out from the kitchen. All three of the servants placed a platter before each to them then silently walked back to the kitchen. Ozuma looked down at his dish, a grilled steak, bacon and melted mozzarella cheese omelet with cheddar cheese grated on top. He has never see such an breakfast entrée before. So he cut a little piece and picked it up with a fork then put it in his mouth. Ozuma's eyes widen, the omelet was the most delicious thing he ever had tasted. Elise giggled as the Duke laughed at the expression on Ozuma's face.
