Chapter 1 of Kingdom Hearts: Soleil Seekers

He was falling. He was falling through the sky, soaring past memories of his life... Meeting his friends... Encountering the legends of his world. Who is he you ask? He is Sun Dragon, Balle du Dragon. He's a humanoid dragon with orange skin and a beige flaming underbelly and red hair that is burning hairstyle including on the tail, he has a hexagon-shaped sun mark in his chest, he has two horns and has a goggles. His attire includes white gloves with red backs which have long red and black cuffs with fasteners. He's also wearing a black neck brace and crimson hakama, a long, crimson red trench coat with gold studs, emblazoned on the back of this coat is the white fiery kanji for "Ultimate Sun Chief", and black combat boots with his feet claws popped out. He also has white sports tape wrapped around the palms of his gloves, the soles of his feet and his lower forearms and legs

'What's... happening?' Balle thought. He couldn't move whatsoever. Still... something kept him from panicking as though this was natural... Suddenly, he felt his head hit water. He continued to fall as though he was still soaring through the air. As he neared the rapidly approaching ground, he began to slow. Slowly his body righted itself.

Balle took a deep breath, surprised he could breathe at all. He looked down, he was standing on a strange black surface, all around there was nothing but darkness. He took one step and gasped as thousands of doves flew off, revealing a circular, stained-glass platform. Upon it lay an image of a large and muscular dragon with bright red-orange skin and wearing golden horned helmet with two smaller spikes that sit on either side of a red gem on the forehead. He has a short face and a jagged mouth line, although toothless it does have two short tusks in his large lower jaw and two smaller spikes on his chin. His eyes glow with a yellow golden. He also has golden ornaments all around his body, wears a blue Japanese Sea Festival-like attire with oceanic wave designs and a red and white tasseled rope belt along with with chains around his waist. It's main weapon that he carries around with him is a staff that resembles an anchor and the dragon seems to be surrounded by the ocean.

He looked around. "What... happened?" he asked the surrounding darkness. "Where am I?"

Value friendship.

There is no time for being indecisive.

You must be strong.

Your path is set for you.

Your journey begins at the dead of night.

Balle jumped a bit as he heard the bodiless voice. It sounded far-off and unclear.

Three pedestals appeared before him, each bearing an item.

The voice was gone. Balle sighed and looked at the items floating above the pedestals, wondering if he was meant to take one of them. He walked over to the first item he saw, a sword. "Wow..." he whispered. The blade felt perfectly natural in his hands. In fact it felt as though it was an extension of his arm. "It feels perfect."

Power of the Warrior: Invincible Courage: The sword of terrible destruction. Do you accept this power?

Balle stared at the blade and nodded. As soon as he did so, the sword disappeared and the pedestals suddenly fell through the glass, which caused it to break. With a startled cry, Balle fell down onto a different pedestal. This one was of a red dragon with beige accents that wears a golden crown with four horn-like extensions shaped like flames and "earrings" that are similar to those of old Chinese Emperors. The exhaust-like ports on the back of his body create "retractable" wings as well as a ring with a sun-like design. He sports gigantic red and golden gauntlets on his hands with spikes on his knuckles as well as grey armor with red an golden accents that cover his chest, his shoulders and his legs. He has four fingers on his clawed hands and three on his toes, standing on top of the mountain.

You have chosen the weapon of the warrior, you must now prove yourself in combat.

Balle gasped as, suddenly, silvery-white creatures with unzipped heads began appearing around him. "What is that?"

You are in danger. What do you do?

He froze when he felt scared. 'What am I supposed to do?' Balle thought frantically as the creatures approached him. Suddenly the same sword appeared in his hand. "The sword..." Balle whispered. "Then I'll face it head on!" Balle replied to the voice. Once again the sword felt natural in his hands... Somehow... he knew what he was doing...

Three of the enemies surrounded him. He had to fight them off. "I'll do what I can..." Balle muttered. He chose the one in front of him and charged, sword raised. "You're in my way!" he yelled as he approached the creature. He swung the blade, slashing through the creature. The strike stunned it and Balle continued his attack. He slashed again and finished with a stab. The creature disappeared in a shower of blue sparks. He felt something within him flare and quickly sidestepped a blow from behind. He skidded around the creature so fast it caused a blur. The creature looked around wildly, as did its comrade.

'What was that?' Balle thought as he rained combos on the creature before him.

Reaction Command...

'Oh," Balle thought. As the second creature was destroyed, Balle felt the third creature strike his shin with it's knife-like arm. Balle cried out in pain as he jumped back. The creature attempted another low blow, but this time, Balle was prepared. He jumped to avoid it. 'Whoa!' Balle thought frantically as he jumped five times higher than normal. He ended up behind the creature and didn't waste any time in destroying it.

Suddenly semi-transparent stairs appeared before him. Balle waited, but the voice didn't come. He shrugged and went forward. The next pillar was of May kneeling in what seemed to be prayer. A forest was in the background. As Balle took a few steps, black shadows began forming and turned into 3D creatures. They were black with claws, antenna and yellow eyes. Balle started for a second before the sword appeared in his hand once more. He charged at the black beings and began raining combos on them. He found them moderately easier than the silver creatures.

More stairs appeared before him, he quickly climbed upwards and came to the next pillar. It was of a big white dragon with big black and white wings with golden feathers, and a long black and white tail with gray spikes. He eyes are green and have a black spot on his right eye. He has white and black arms and his feet are black and white. He has black and white dragon horns. His dragon form have a red diamond on his chest and he wears golden armor with red and black accents laying on the grass. Shooting stars streaming in the night sky. There was only one thing on this station. A chest with a large keyhole on it. Balle approached it and impulsively tapped it with his sword. It opened, revealing a small bottle containing a greenish-blue substance. He read the label. 'Potion: Heals minor to moderate injuries. To use, toss into the air and say the name of target. If using on self, toss into the air and do NOT say a name.'

Balle shrugged he had taken a couple hits in the last few battles. A bruise or scratch here or there. He hesitantly tossed the potion into the air. He felt his injuries healing immediately. 'Wow' Balle thought. 'That's amazing!'

The floor suddenly shattered. Balle cried out in alarm as he fell downwards. He was surprised when he landed without harm. He looked around. This station was of a boy with spiky brown hair in a red jumpsuit that has shorts that goes a few inches under his knees, a grayish unzipped short hoodie, a crown necklace, white fingerless gloves, and big yellow shoes; Balle also noticed that the portrait has a duck being, a dog being, a boy with shoulder length hair, a girl with her hair that goes a few inches under her ears, a boy with spiky light colored hair, an older boy with dark spiky hair, and a girl with hair that just reaches her shoulders, plus the platform is colored blue and the boy has what appears to be a key-like sword that has a yellow guard around the hilt, and the key chain has the mouse head. The background on it is an island with a tree that has star shaped fruits.

Your final task is now at hand... Now face your fiercest enemy...

Balle looked around alarmed. He saw nothing but darkness. He looked behind him, and saw nothing but his own shadow... Wait... The shadow was getting larger! It suddenly grew two yellow eyes that glared hatefully at him. The shadow formed into an enormous figure with snake-like hair. Balle took a step back. 'My fiercest enemy is... myself?'

Don't be afraid... Balle could actually distinguish the voice this time. It was distinctly female. A white light flashed in front of him. Floating there was a star shaped symbol attached to a string. Balle took the object. It was fiery red in color and, though not made of anything fancy, was beautiful nonetheless. It reminded him of the fruit in the image of the station. We are connected... Bonded... Don't let your fear control you...

Balle nodded, feeling assured and placed the charm around his neck, tucking it into his coat. The sword once again appeared in his hand. The creature attacked. It sent a punch at him, which was dodged by Balle. The trainer took this opportunity to jump and strike its face. The monster roared in pain. It then began shooting what appeared to be missiles. Balle yelled and ran to avoid them. He rushed at the creature once more before raining combos on its face. Balle then stabbed his sword on his sun mark as he pulls the sword out from his chest with so much power and spirit as his clothes begins to be safely blown by the wind. Balle extended his weapon as he jumps up and goes near the suddenly appeared sun, the sun was absorbed into an dark orb as it was sealed and clumped together as it became a giant hammer with an engine, Balle attached his blade into the hole as he pulls it and twisted it as it extends. The hammer's engine started as Balle begins to swings it around and around.

"Balle Burst Smasher!" Balle swings as he slams the Smasher at the creature that roared upon contact with the Smasher. It stared at him for a few moments. Balle stared right back. Suddenly Balle felt himself sinking. He looked down and saw that he was sinking into darkness. Balle began panicking.

You hold the mightiest weapon of all.

He thrashed all around while the monster slowly faded away. The sword disappeared from his grasp. The darkness began consuming him

So don't forget: Don't be afraid... I'm here.

Darkness consumed him.
