The Return of the Fallen Heroes

Will of The Earth

I own nothing, not the characters, not Square Enix, not Disney, only the idea behind my version of KH 3. This is not the real KH.

A barren wasteland was all that remained or perhaps that is all that there ever was, at least in this world. In the largest valley of the world there was a graveyard, one without graves. Instead of tombs there were key shaped swords or keyblades, something that represented the deceased far better than any headstone for the keyblades were a representation of the main aspects of the wielder's heart. All of the blades were clustered together except for one on top of a cliff.

This keyblade was unique, where all of the others seemed dead this one still shined brightly. Kneeling next to this keyblade with its hands clasped on the weapon's hilt, was a golden brown armor, the Lingering Will. All that currently remained of the warrior, keyblade's chosen, and most of all hero, Terra. Terra lifted his head, sensing a presence for the first time in eleven years. It was familiar and filled with light, and yet it also seemed tainted with a darkness that did not match with the heart of the presence at all.

This person, something about this person is familiar. I, I think that this person is Aqua! But why is she here? And what is this darkness. Aqua never had this darkness before and I know that if anyone would never fall to the darkness that person would be her. Why is there this horrible darkness tainting Aqua? What has happened in the past eleven years.

Suddenly Terra dove forward and spun around, Ends of The Earth in his hands, ready for use as a transparent blue haired woman with warm blue eyes appeared. "Terra, Ven needs help and only you can do it. Please if you don't help him soon then it might be too late."

"What happened to Ven?" Terra made no motion and yet he seemed to speak directly to Aqua's mind, trying not to recoil as he felt the darkness in her. "What can I do to save him, and why is there so much darkness inside of you?"

"As you know eleven years ago we fought Xehanort and his apprentice Vanitas. Vanitas actually was made from the darkness inside of Ven's heart. That is why Xehanort was trying to create the X-blade from them, he needed a keyblade wielder with darkness and light of equal strength. In order to stop the X-blade from being created Ven, he, he sacrificed himself fighting Vanitas. Because Vanitas is the darkness from his heart, the conflict shattered his heart." At this Aqua teared up, but kept on talking with determination, as ever, apparent in her eyes. "I managed to help defeat Vanitas from the outside along with Mickey, while Ven fought from the inside. After the battle I took Ven's body back to the land of Departure and in order to preserve him and keep our home from being destroyed by darkness I transformed it into a world called Castle Oblivion. Ven's heart found its way into a boy named Sora's heart to recover. The problem is that Sora's heart has begun to slowly consume Ven's. You need to," At this Aqua could no longer look at Terra's faceplate and said quietly, her voice almost a whisper and full of pain, "You need to kill Sora and release Ven's heart in order to save him. Sora lives in Destiny Islands. And as to why there is so much darkness inside of me, that is because Xehanort trapped me in the realm of darkness remember. Otherwise I would try to do this myself."

At this Terra said sadly, but with growing conviction, "There is no other way to save Ven but to kill this Sora? It seems I have no choice, I will do whatever I can to save Ven and after that I swear that we will get you out of the Realm of Darkness, no matter the cost. It was bad enough that I have fallen to the darkness and I will never allow it to happen to you. I promise this to both of you. I will not fail the two of you, not again." As he said this Terra summoned a light out of Ends of the Earth in the shape of a star, reminiscent of his lost Wayfinder. "We are connected and I will do whatever it takes to save my friends." After saying this Terra let the light fade, threw his keyblade into the air and flew off on his keyblade glider.

Once Terra flew off Aqua's eyes turned into a bottomless, glowing orange and a smirk too cruel for her face appeared. "I can always count on you Terra, I can always count on you to be my pawn. You always were hasty when it came to your friends Go destroy Sora and those inside his heart, destroy four major thorns in my side. Even if you succeed in getting Ventus back you, the brat and Aqua will never be enough to stop me. If you fail then you die. Either way this proves advantageous for my plans."

A/N So this is the start to my first story. The characters that I have placed at the bottom of the description are only there because Roxas and Terra are the first characters that I am reviving. I have ideas for how to bring the others back but they can't be brought back just yet. Xion and Ventus will be especially hard. Xion because no one remembers her, Ven I have a slightly better idea for what I will do for him but it will still be hard. If anyone has any advice for me feel free to leave a review. Also keep in mind that I hate Yaoi with a burning passion so there will be none. I also have my prefered KH pairings, but I am bad at any romance anything so I will try to do it on a decent level but if possible I intend to keep it subtle so as to not alienate what few people read this.
