Author's Note: I do not own ANYTHING pertaining to Kingdom Hearts. I only own Blastbone Clarkson, Charlotte Amaturie (to appear in later chapters), and their nobodies, whose names will be revealed later. So without further ado, here is my interpretation of Kingdom Hearts III.
Kingdom Hearts III: Into the Fire
Prelude
Thinking of you, wherever you are.
We pray for our sorrows to end,
And hope that our hearts will blend.
Now I will step forward to realize this wish.
And who knows:
Starting a new journey may not be so hard,
Or maybe it has already begun.
There are many worlds, but they share the same sky--
One sky, one destiny.
(Please note: Insert theme from one of the first two Kingdom Hearts)
What you are watching is the major recap of the series thus far.
The Kingdom Hearts III name appears in front of a fire, although it isn't a very big one.
A voice speaks, as an image appears before you of Blastbone Clarkson with his Keyblade drawn, standing at the crossroads and watching three people walk away, two in black cloaks, one in a reddish one with red bandages on his face. They are the Riku, Mickey, and DIZ (Ansem the Wise). "The powers of light or the forces of darkness. A balance must be made. The only problem is which side to choose when you feel stuck in the middle."
Fade out into Sora sitting on an island, jumping off the massive tree on the island. Upon landing, his Keyblade flashes into existence, and he runs towards the water, Keyblade at the ready. The screen's background shatters as Sora swings, taking out heartless. He finds Kairi, defeats Ansem, and travels through Castle Oblivion. After defeating Marluxia, he is seen fighting again, as his younger self. As he's fighting off heartless, his body fades into his older self (while performing the same moves, only less labored), fighting Heartless and Nobodies alike. After taking a hit, he grabs Goofy, transforms into his Valor form, fighting again, fading into Roxas for a few, then back to Sora, both of which are fighting nobodies. Insert Riku, in his Organization cloak, and then flash back to his trials in Oblivion, the fight with Roxas, then to the present, where he returns to his normal body to fight Xemnas.
As both open the door, they immediately engage in fighting Xemnas. After he fades, they fall to the islands, where Kairi waits for them. An image of Naminé appears for a second, and then fades. Then fade to a scene where Sora, Riku, and Kairi end up reading a note from the king, the contents of which are still secret. Then fade to another fight, with Blastbone swinging his Keyblade at Heartless and Nobodies alike. Zoom out to see this is happening in his head as he sleeps in what appears to be a stasis pod. All of a sudden, like a move out of KH2, Blaster drops out of the pod, to begin flying face down into darkness. As he wakes up, he gracefully lands, looks around, takes a step, and is blinded as doves explode from under his feet, and a mural appears. It is his, with him in the center, Keyblade drawn, and his friends around him, in circles. The outer ring has images of other weaponry, like guns. Blaster looks at the mural as the screen goes blank.
"Our plans are nearing completion," a rough voice said. Suddenly, a conference room comes into view where four people are meeting, one of which is shrouded in darkness, while the others are in different colored suits of armor. The shrouded figure was the one that spoke.
"It is doubtless that our plans will take effect immediately," The gold-tinted armored person said, in a slightly less rough voice.
"Still, our counter-parts are still formulating their own plans of evil intent." The white armored person said. Her voice was feminine. Her armor also confirmed her femininity.
"What are your orders, Master?" The black armored man said.
"A war is upon us," the Master said. "Sora, Riku, Kairi, and Blaster have no idea that they will be 'key' players in more ways than one." He started to chuckle at his own pun.
"What about the first three?" the female asked. "I have a feeling that Terra, Aqua, and Ventus might still be alive somewhere."
"Then seek out these Keyblade knights" The master ordered. "They will be vital if we are to teach the new Wielders the powers of the old, especially with this war upon us. Go, and may your hearts lead you where you need to go." The three knights disappeared in flashes of colored light, each color corresponding to the color of their armor.
"May the forces of good vanquish those with evil intent," the Master muttered to himself. His face turned up towards a large crystal ball. As he looked up, a pair of blue eyes could be seen. Inside the crystalline orb was the interior of a highly advanced ship, which had the pod where Blaster is sleeping.
"Your rest has come to an end, young Key-bearer. You, along with Sora, Riku, Kairi, and your fiancé, Char, will have to come to me to learn the true art of the Keyblade. It is time, you must wake up!"

Inside the ship that was in the crystal ball, the Pegasus, the sole person on board, Captain Blastbone Clarkson, awoke in his stasis pod quickly. The water-like substance caught him off guard for a few seconds, but it quickly drained, and the glass door slid open. The liquid was completely removed from his blue army uniform. His black hair was barely damp, but that changed quickly as the hair dried, not leaving a single drop of the Stasis Nutrient on his 6 foot body.
"Good morning, Blaster," a metallic, female voice said. This was the computer of the Pegasus, a ship shaped almost like a turtle that was about as big as a 747 (from wingtip to wingtip) and a half, but seemed much bigger on the inside. It stood as tall as a 9 story building, and was about as long as about two 747's (nose to tail). "Was your time in stasis enjoyable?"
Blastbone Clarkson, 18, looked around his ship, as if he was searching for something. He passed a small case that held his Keyblade, the Thirteen Order Crystal, numerous controls for regulating specific systems on the ship, even under the chair he usually sat in. The half-Torillian, half-human from Earth in 2019 had a distraught look in his face as he found nothing in his ship.
"I was okay, until some voice woke me up," Blaster said. "I thought it came from inside the ship."
"Since you went into stasis at 2308 on May 20, 2019, no other life-form has occupied this vessel," The ship said.
"What day is it?" Blaster asked.
"It is 0758 on August 16, 2020," the computer replied. "All times are roughly in sequence with the Greenwich Mean Time Zone as regulated by the Atomic Clock placed there in 2013. Is there anything else I can do for you?"
"Yeah," Blaster said, sitting down in the captain's chair and summoning his Keyblade. "Tell me when Sora last passed by." Blaster paused. "I have a feeling that we are going to meet up again."
"Last known location of Sora was Destiny Islands as of 1628 on June 29, 2007 local Island time," The ship replied. "You are being hailed by King Mickey."
The Pegasus was positioned above Disney Castle since he had helped Riku fight with the darkness in his heart in Castle Oblivion. The reason Sora was unable to pick it up on his radar was because Blaster initiated the cloak, which turned the ship invisible to everyone. The only one who knew about the arrangement was Mickey, king of the world below.
"Put him on screen," Blaster replied, dismissing his blade. On the front view screen, the face of Mickey Mouse appeared. "Ah, Your Majesty. What can I do for you?"
"It's been too long, Blaster," Mickey said. "And, please, can we ditch the formalities?"
"Done," Blaster said.
"Thank you," Mickey said. "Anyway, I just so happened to have received a message from an old friend of mine, and he says it is urgent that we get you, Sora, Riku, Kairi, Donald, and Goofy together again."
"How bad was it while I was asleep?" Blaster asked.
"I guess I should get ya' up to speed about what's happened in the past year," Mickey said. "I'll get Chip and Dale to open a spot for ya'. Once you receive the coordinates, please come on down."
"Thank you," Blaster said. Mickey's face left the screen. "Pegasus, as soon as you get the coordinates, land where they tell us."
The ship began to move as soon as soon as Blaster stopped talking. "This shouldn't take too long."
