me: okays, i was just innocently sitting/lying/lounging/whatever, when a sudden thought struck me: what if Sora was originally supposed to be the Keyblade Master, but he gave in to the darkness and so Riku got the Keyblade? and so this story began... i'm not sure if there will be any specific pairings, but i will inform you if there are!
I don't own Kingdom Hearts, but if you're offering it to me, then I'll take it!
On with th--
Riku: WAIT!!!! how long is this gonna be?
me: ((shrugs)) i dunno. until the end of the game, i guess. I might make two sequals (one for CoM and one for KHII) I know who would be Riku's nobody, but that might cause issues in the game.
Riku: okay. so START ALREADY!!!!!
me: ((glares at Riku)) On with the fic!
OoOoOoOoOoO
Chapter one: Weird dreams
OoOoO
I've been having these weird thoughts lately, like is any of this for real, or not?
I open my eyes to find myself standing on a circular platform with what seems to be a picture of a woman on the ground.
So much to do,
so little time...
Take your time
Don't be afraid.
The door is still shut.
Now, step forward.
Can you do it?
Wha? That voice... I've heard it somewhere before... but where?
Three pedestals appear before me. Each has something floating over it. Walking up to the sword, I grab it. The voice asks me if this is the weapon I want. I nod, and then I am told to choose something to give up. Walking over to the staff I pick it up, but when the voice asks me if i'm sure, I shake my head and replace it. Walking over to the shield. I pick it up. This time, when asked if this is what I want to give up, I reply, reluctantly telling the voice that I'm positive. The shield suddenly dissapears from my hand, startling me.
You have chosen the path of the warrior.
You've given up the power of the guardian.
Is this the form you choose?
I nod my head, and soon find myself on another platform, this time of a blonde in a blue dress.
You've gained the power to fight.
These black bug-like things appear, and I soon defeat them. Practicing with my friends has allowed me to become a good fighter.
All right! You've got it.
Use this power to protect yourself and others.
There will be times you have to fight.
I roll my eyes. That's pretty obvious.
Behind you!
Turning around, I catch sight of another bug-thing. I easily whoop the thing's butt, and it's on to the next platform.
Walking up to the door, I try to open it, but it seems to not even be completely solid.
I can't open it...
Looking to my side, I see a treasure chest. When I open it, I get a potion. After, I destroy a large crate and then a barrel. The door is finally solid. I walk over to it, and a bright light engulfs me. When I open my eyes again, I'm on the island, and Wakka, Tidus, and Selphie are standing there, waiting to talk to me.
Hold on.
The door won't open just yet.
First, tell me more about yourself.
I walk over to Tidus, wh surprises me with a question.
"What are you afraid of?"
"Getting old," I reply, somewhat confused as to why he's asking.
"Gettin' old? Is that really so scary?"
I look over at Wakka next. As I approach him, he, too, asks me a question.
"What do you want outts life?"
"To broaden my horizons."
"To broaden your horizons, huh?" Strange... he didn't even say 'ya?' once...
Selphie is next, and, sure enough, she, too, has a question.
"What's most important to you?"
"My friends," I reply without hesitation.
"Are friends such a big deal?"
You're afraid of getting old.
You want to broaden your horizons.
You want friends.
Your adventure begins at dawn.
As long as the sun is shining, your journey should be a pleasant one.
"Sounds good," I tell the voice.
The day you will open the door is both far off and very near.
There is once again a bright light that engulfs me, and I soon find myself on yet another platform. I groan, but then I'm attacked by more of the bugs. They seem to come out of shadows. Maybe they are shadows. As soon as I defeat them, a circle of light appears on the ground in the center of the plarform. When I walk over to it, my hp is replenished, and I feel ready to take on 20 of those shadow-things.
Stairs appear to another platform, but when I reach it...
The closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow becomes.
My shadow just lifted up off of the ground and turned into a monster!
But don't be afraid.
And don't forget...
I try to escape, but I nearly fall. I have no choice but to fight the monster. When I finally defeat it, a black circle appears under me.
But don't be afraid.
You hold the mightiest weapon of all.
The black circle is engulfing me!
So don't forget:
You are the one who will open the door.
Someone's calling my name... Who...?
OoOoOoOoOoO
me: soooooo?
I never specified who it was who was having the dream! I kinda think that In the game, Riku also had this dream, but he did something slightly different, and somwhow succumbed to the darkness, so then Sora also had the dreams.
The point is, it could be either. Originally, I was going to specify Riku, but I decided that it could be for both. This is pretty much straight from the story, anyways.
So, please read and review! It'll make me update faster!
