Author's note: Orion here. I changed my name again but it is still me, I promise. I know you all are frustrated with my lack of updates but I have a good reason. Work has been hectic as well as life. I also have some new story ideas that I want to try out. This story will be in several parts and go through the whole Kingdom Hearts saga, but there will be a twist. I hope you enjoy!
Summary: What would happen in a world where Sora was never born? Chaos, mayhem, all out anarchy? What if a Sora from another dimension came but couldn't remember?

In a last ditch effort to stop him, Ventus' dark half, Vanitas, attacks which sends Sora off course to the time where the Organization hasn't been formed yet. What could go wrong when he is found, and trained? Find out!

Prologue~
Shadow of Loss
Footsteps fell heavy, with gravel crunching beneath shoes as a young boy of about 8-or-9-years-old ran through the streets of a dilapidated village. Several flying black shadows hovered above him howling in challenge.
"Run, Sora!" his companion yelled, a 20-year-old male with blond hair as he ran as well, sending blasts of wind at the creatures trying to catch up with them. Ventus, which was the older male's name, wiped sweat from his brow as he swung Wayward Wind at a shadow, a black Heartless with glowing yellow eyes that was leaping at him.
Sora ran, panting, as he dodged another heartless, a knight this time. The creature has small with blue armor as it swung at him. "Ven, what are we going to do?" he asked as he fired a spat of fire at a leaping shadow. The shadow disappeared into the shadows as several more took its place. "There's more heartless coming."
Ventus, or Ven, grabbed Sora and took to the roofs, jumping over gaps in the buildings. "We keep moving. If they can't get us then the worlds won't fall forever." He was breathing hard, as he had cuts and scrapes on his face that were staring to sting from the sweat that was falling into them.
"You can't run forever, Ventus! We'll form the X-blade like Xehanort wanted!" a voice yelled from several feet behind them Glancing behind them, Ventus saw a figure in black armor running to catch up with him as he swung a black blade, Void Gear to unleash a blast of dark fire at them. This was Vanitas, Darkness taking form that had been forcefully pulled from Ventus when he had been training under Xehanort before he was abandoned.
Sora flinched, when he heard the yell. He knew, as well as Ven, that the worlds had been falling into darkness as Xehanort took Kingdom Hearts, though no one knew how he did it. With it, several Keyblade wielders, including two of Ventus' friends, Terra and Aqua, had fallen trying to stop him. For them though, Terra had received a fate worse than death for some as he was forced to become a vessel for the mad man.
Ventus saw a clearing up near the base of a cliff and skidded to a stop. He hadn't been paying attention to where they were and now they were trapped. Putting Sora down, he stood in front of him as Vanitas, several other figures in dark hoods, and countless heartless surrounded them.
"Give it up, Ventus; the two of you are the only Keyblade wielders left," Vanitas smirked. He knew that there was nowhere else for the duo to go and savored the look on their faces as they realized that.
Ventus summoned his Keyblade as he prepared to fight. He wasn't afraid to die but he refused to do nothing to save his young friend. 'I'm sorry, Sora,'he thought as he prepared a spell to send the child to a dimension where he wouldn't have to fight for his life every day.
"Ven?" Sora asked, worried. He saw the look on Ventus' face and was scared.
Ventus pushed Sora behind him, releasing the spell to send him away. "I'm sorry, Sora. I hope you can find a place to where you can be free," he said as Sora was lifted into the air and began to fade.
"No!" Vanitas yelled as he shot a ball of dark energy at the fading boy as he leapt forward to try to stop him. Sora screamed as the ball of energy struck him in the head as he faded from view. Ven breathed a sigh of relief before attacking the others. He may die here, but at least Sora would be safe. As Vanitas struck him, he smiled a sad smile, as the blow had been fatal. "You lost," he said. "Sora will be safe from you from now on." With those last words, darkness took over his sight and Ventus collapsed.

Radiant Garden, New Dimension
Aeleus looked up as a cloud of smoke filled the air. Looking over at Dilan, the two of them along with one of the trainees for castle security ran towards the spot. Coming up beside the crater, Dilan hissed, as the three saw a young child in the crater, smoke billowing off his clothes.
"Get a healer from the castle," Aeleus told the trainee as he and Dilan began to set a perimeter to check to make sure nothing else was around. As the trainee ran off, Dilan looked at his fellow guard. The two of them were apprentices to the old man in the castle, Ansem, as well as another guard and two others.
"What do you think happened?" he asked, walking towards the boy where he was beginning to awake, groaning.
"Who knows, but I'm guessing we'll soon find out." With that, the two waited with baited breath as the brunette opened dark blue eyes.
