Summary: A new threat to the worlds has arrived, and this time Sora isn't going to be the hero to save them all. With Sora and those around him suffering from memory loss and the time manipulation abilities of a new enemy, who will King Mickey call upon? Why, none other than Roxas, of course. The only pairings I'm disclosing right now are SoraxKairi and some slight hints of NaminexRoxas. This fic may contain moments of yaoi or yuri.
Sora: WHAT?!
DxF: Well, I'm not so sure about it yet. I have ideas in mind, but who knows where the story will go? Even I haven't fully planned this thing out yet.
Kairi: But anyway.
DxF: Let's get on with the story.
Prologue :: The Black Rain
Deep within the universe there was a world that was home to only one thing. That thing was pure darkness.
It festered there since the beginning of time, growing and mutating, swirling beneath the surface of the world. Over the years it sensed the presence of other darknesses: Heartless and Nobodies. This darkness desperately wanted to break free of its prison to consume the other darknesses and grow even more powerful.
And one day, it did get out.
The raw power and darkness blasted out, washing over the other unsuspecting worlds. Bits of darkness fell from the sky, mystifying the denizens of the worlds. They called it the "black rain," for it seemed to be as harmless as rain. It merely floated down from the blackened sky and dissolved upon contact. It didn't even leave a trace behind—just disappeared completely.
It lasted for three days. The first of those days nobody went out. True to the nature of any form of life, everyone and everything was afraid of it because it was new and they knew nothing about it. The second day, the braver of creatures went out to investigate, and eventually things eased back to a more tentative and wary form of the norm. By the third day, everything was normal. People and animals alike went about doing what they wished, ignoring the black rain.
But at the end of that third day, the darkness gave one last burst to disperse the rest of itself, creating a wave that crashed over the worlds like a tsunami. The black wall of darkness passed over every world like a short but harsh wind, blowing over trees, the weaker of houses, and people. Heartless felt the darkness and lusted after it, slowly emerging from their hiding places onto the worlds. The effect of the darkness on them was like that of a cat under the influence of catnip, except much more violent. They became frenzied and in a sort of berserker state, devouring hearts left and right. This, in turn, created more Heartless. The Nobodies that were created set off the awakening of other Nobodies.
The worlds were quickly plunging into eternal night.
The King took action immediately at seeing the Heartless again. He summoned the head of his knights, Goofy, and his most knowledgable mage, Donald, and told them to find Sora and help him save the worlds once again.
The two looked at each other, then back at the King, and Donald asked, "Who's Sora?"
End of Prologue :: The Black RainDxF: Hm... I wonder if I successfully pulled off a cliffhanger.
Donald: I think you did, 'cause I wanna know what's gonna happen next!
Roxas: You've forgotten almost everything. Of course you wanna know.
Donald: Aw, shaddup!
DxF: Anyway, I'm posting the first chapter in three days. But for now,
Madeline: That's all there is! There isn't- anymore.
All except Madeline: oO wtf?
