Chapter 1
Another Side, Another Story...
The rain falls hard that night.....the water gathers in the streets as the town's reflection glows brightly. On this stormy night not much is active except the sky and the drops that fall from it. Down the road though....there is movement. A figure as dark as the night that surrounds it moves along the empty road. It walks without destination as the rain slides down it's cloak, until finally the stranger stops.
They look up high into the sky, at the top of the building in front of them. There on the roof stands a boy...blindfolded but aware of the stranger standing in wait below him. Only a few seconds pass before something else catches the hooded figures attention. Up from the puddles, from the solid concrete beneath appears the Heartless. In seconds the stranger finds themself surrounded and utterly outnumbered.
Suddenly after a quick movement, the Heartless have infront of them not one but two shining Keyblades. The stranger stands ready to defend themself. High atop the building, the boy moves his head into the sky. Clouds part and what first seems like stars becomes many comets falling towards the earth. The boy seems to be summoning them forth, pulling the cloth from his eyes. Down below, a heart shaped barrior appears around the stranger. Finally the figure speaks.....
"Where Is Sora?"
The Heartless seem to shutter at the sound of that name. They move in closer trying to breach the barrior. When their efforts fail...the entire wave moves in.....the barrior doesn't breach. The young man turns his palms down...his luminescent eyes watch as the comets fall down towards those below. The stranger looks up.....smirks....and holds up the Keyblades crossed. The boy shields his eyes while the comets crash down. A blinding light brightens the city as if it were the early afternoon. As the smoke clears....all that is present is a town block laid in ruins....and two shining Keyblades still crossed....their owner underneath. The stranger brings the weapons down.
"You know Riku.......your getting stronger and stronger. That comet attack was something else. Its a shame you aren't joining me for my search."
"Axel...I am not searching for him for the intention of power. Sora is my friend....and friendships are much stronger then the power you search for....besides the Heartless may think those are Keyblades....but I know better."
With a wave of his hand...Riku revealed the true form of Axel's weapons....a pair of four-point, circlular shaped daggers. Axel laughs and puts his weapons away.
"What they don't know won't hurt them Riku....besides their master will be shocked at the thought of more Keyblades being around."
"You and your childish illusions. There are more important things to be done then to stand here in the rain.....more importantly a door to unlock"
And with that Riku walked out of sight, leaving the figure standing there. And there he stood for a few moments longer....until finally turning and walking away from the demolished area. He walked toward the shadows....stopping a fews steps before to turn and give one last look at the destruction caused by Riku.
"He is getting much stronger.....he might be a threat to our plans. Nothing we can't handle though....nothing I haven't defeated before. Sora though......that boy and his Keyblade might be alittle harder to get by.....noos emoc lliw ssenkrad eht..."
