Chapter 1
It was quiet Traverse Town. A young man walked the streets alone. His name was Zoran. He has lived in Traverse Town his entire life, and has spent most of it wishing for more adventure.
He was about to meet up with his best friend. Then he heard a scream come from somewhere. He followed the screaming to find someone surrounded by dark creatures. He told the person, "Run for it. I'll handle these guys." The dark creatures attacked him. When he put up his arm in defense, the Kingdom Key appeared in his hands. He used the keyblade to fight off the dark creatures.
After they were all defeated, Zoran continued to meet his friend. A girl stood by a building waiting for him. She said with a laugh, "What took you so long? Trying to decide whether or not you wanted to lose to me again?" Zoran replied, "Give me a break Erika. I had to make a side trip to help someone." Erika said, "Oh really? What did you do?"
Zoran answered trying to sound impressive, "I protected the guy. Fought off some sort of dark creatures." Erika said with amusement, "Please, you can't even beat me." Zoran looked at her and said, "But this was different though. Some key shaped weapon appeared in my hand. I'd show you, but for some reason I can't make it appear again." As he said this, he tried to make the keyblade appear in his hand. Erika gave him a surprised look and asked, "Did you say, 'a key shaped weapon'?" Zoran nodded his head. Erika responded, "Okay. Get yourself a weapon. It's time for some battle training." Erika pulled out a wooden bow from behind her back, and got ready to use it like a staff.
Before Zoran could get a weapon out, more of the dark creatures appeared out of nowhere. Then, the Kingdom Key appeared in Zoran's hands. He turned to Erika and said, "Believe me now?" She pulled an arrow from behind her back, getting ready to shoot. Suddenly, her bow started to emit a strange light. It transformed from being made of wood, to being made of silver, with a gold string. She said, "How about we use these guys for battle practice?"
After all of the dark creatures were destroyed, the keyblade disappeared once again, as did Erika's bow.
Erika stood up from her battle stance and said, "Well, looks like I was right." Zoran looked confused. "About what?" he asked. "The keyblade of course. Zoran still looked confused.
Erika rolled her eyes and said, " Let me explain. That weapon you were just using, it's called the keyblade. The Kingdom Key to be more exact. Little is known about its origins. But what is known is that it can lock and unlock virtually anything. It is also the preferred weapon of choice for fighting against the heartless, those dark creatures we fought just now. The keyblade chooses its wielder. And the wielder of the Kingdom Key, is said to be the leader of the Kingdom Warriors. Zoran asked, "Who are the Kingdom Warriors?"
Erika continued her explanation, "They are a group of people who are chosen by the Kingdom Weapons, like the keyblade or the Kingdom Bow that appeared in my hands." Zoran asked, "How do you know all this?" Erika answered, "Because my father studied Kingdom Hearts, and all of its relations. I often helped him with his research. But if the all the Kingdom Weapons are choosing new wielders, then the worlds are in more danger than ever.
Zoran sighed and said, "Okay, you lost me again. What do you mean by, 'the worlds'?" Erika was starting to get frustrated. She thought, 'How did he get to be the leader?' She explained to him, "You know how we always believed there were other worlds out there besides just Traverse Town? Well look up at the stars. Each and every one of them is a different world."
Zoran thought about this for a moment, "If the worlds are in danger, then it's up to us to save them." Erika said, "Not just us. We have to find the other Kingdom Warriors so they can help."
Zoran asked, "How exactly do we save the worlds?" Erika answered, "Simple. We stop the people who are trying to throw the worlds in utter darkness. And the best way to do that, is to lock the keyholes of each world." Zoran had another question, "What's the deal with the keyholes?" Erika said, "The keyholes are the portal to the center of each world. If you lock them with the keyblade, then no one can get in and overrun the world with darkness." "Any idea where the keyhole for this world is?" Zoran asked. Erika was getting infuriated with all of Zoran's questions. She answered, "No one knows the location of any keyhole. Besides, we don't have to worry about ours. It was lock by the last keybearer years ago. Any more questions?!!"
"Just one. How are we supposed to get out of Traverse Town? We have no form of space travel." After Zoran said that, something started to fall from the sky. Whatever it was, it was hot, and coming down fast. It landed not too far away from the two of them.
They looked at it and saw that it was a gummi ship.
