PROLOGUE

| 11:47 PM | | Summer 2001 |

The darkness is looking to destroy our civilization again. The world has already been destroyed around us by such forces, the Heartless, uniting and killing off most of the human population. Before everyone could be destroyed, we saved a few people from the shadows. The people that we saved were children, reasons being that they are easily trainable and can adapt to the environment they're in more easily than adults. In the labs, we tried to give them supernatural powers and other abilities that we've created from the genes of other animals and minerals.

We experimented on the remaining humans that we saved, adding the DNA of the fierce animals and resources to their bodies. around us to them. We'd observe and train them day and night, helping them control their animalistic tendencies. To the children we are training, we added different animal species genes to each one. Strangely, from earlier tests, the humans that we injected animal DNA into will grow into their teenage years and stop growing there. They will look the same age forever until they die naturally - starvation or dehydration - or hunted by others.

The species of animals that we have used DNA are for survival in the wild. If our city is destroyed, then darkness will continue to plague all worlds. The test subjects would need to learn how to feed off of other animals, plants, or feed off of each other's bodies. When it comes to survival, someone wins, or no one wins.

The laboratories in this area are planning on teaching a few of the test subjects how to summon the Heartless destroying weapons: the Keyblade. Only a select few can learn it, since the chances of having powers to handle a Keyblade are extremely rare, needing wielders with pure hearts. Others that can't will not truly destroy the Heartless forever, but will break only their bodies.

There's no telling when the Heartless will decide to destroy us again. I fear that day, though, when the only ones left surviving will be the shadows that are eating upon our hearts. I hope that our Keyblade Masters will defend this city for their lives, and that the humans will begin to thrive in this area once again.

That is, if I've chosen the right person to give my throne to after I die.

The animal DNA that we tried giving the test subjects seemed to disintegrate as soon as it entered their bloodstream. No traces of DNA were left in very many of them. It seems that our plan to make the humans live longer and become stronger has barely failed. I wish that the human race will be able to live through this for a few years, and that all will be well before the Heartless come back. Raise the Keyblade Masters well.

AN: Okay, I updated/fixed this because... Well, it didn't really feel great to read when I read it. There were parts where I felt some of the writing was to cheesy or unneeded. Seems better now than last time :)
