AN: Hello everyone, Ventusblade here. If you haven't guessed from the two pen names I have used, I love the game series Kingdom Hearts. Yesterday, I had an idea for a story combing that with my other favorite thing, RWBY, and this is the product of that. If you're not a Kingdom Hearts fan and are confused by all the unfamiliar term and characters, I apologize. Anyway, as I said when I started my other new story with Ryan Roach, this shall not replace Garnet Rose. This will be an on the side project for when I have extra time. Enjoy!
(3rd Person POV)
Sora struggled to hold up his keyblade as he faced his opponent in their decisive battle. Sora had no intention of being defeated, but Xehanort was overpowering him. He cast a quick glance at the giant heart-shaped moon floating in the sky, Kingdom Hearts, a source of unimaginable power. Xehanort grinned evilly, grasping the weapon created from the clashing of Light and Darkness, the Xiblade. With that weapon he could unlock Kingdom Hearts and control all the worlds in existence.
"Behold! The new age of Darkness begins!" Xehanort proclaimed aiming his weapon at the moon radiating with pure light, unlocking the power within it.
"No!" Desperately, Sora pointed his own weapon at the moon. Before he could convince himself against the idea, Sora shot a blast of light at the moon, causing it to shatter.
"You fool!" Xehanort screamed, falling to his knees as his plan crumbled before him. Without Kingdom Hearts, he would never have the power he desired. "Do you know what you have done?"
Seeing his chance to end the fight, Sora rushed forwards, running through the Seeker of Darkness with his keyblade. Xehanort gave Sora a small eerie smile. " Enjoy your hollow victory boy." Then the old man disintegrated into nothing.
What now? Kingdom Hearts is destroyed. Without it the worlds will fall into darkness, a voice inside Sora's head questioned.
"I don't know, Roxas!" Think, Sora. Think! And idea struck. Sora lifted his keyblade, pointing it at his own heart.
What are you doing?! Demanded another voice inside Sora.
"I'm sorry Ventus. I'm going to give up the light in my heart to replace Kingdom Hearts.
That's insane! Roxas tried to reason, but Sora didn't lower his weapon.
We're in your heart too! If you do this we'll- Sora quickly cut off the boy in his heart.
"I know!" Sora snapped. "You'll disappear too." Sora hated to do this to the two in his heart, but there was no other choice. He could either give up his heart, or let the worlds fall to darkness.
NO! I don't want to disappear again! Roxas choked, sounding on the verge of tears. Please, don't let me disappear again! Roxas begged.
Sora shut his eyes, trying to ignore the intense guilt he felt. "I'm sorry Roxas." He turned his keyblade releasing his heart and the two boys within.
(Ventus POV)
My head felt like it was about to explode. I laid on the cold ground moaning in pain as I clutched my head. Wait, ground? I opened my eyes slowly.
The first thing I saw was a castle-like building. The building had multiple towers, but what stood out most was the tower in the center. That tower was taller than all the others, and has holding a large green crystal radiating with light like a beacon.
"Where am I?" I asked as I tried, unsuccessfully, to get to my feet, my legs screaming in protest. I glanced around the area once more as my brained tried to process the information.
I was kneeling on a paved road or path, there was a castle type building in front of me, and a boy who looked almost exactly like me was lying next to me. The boy was identical to me, same face, same spiky bond hair swept up to the side in a perpetual bed head. It took my brain a few seconds to register the significance of the latest piece of information.
Roxas! I shook my "twin's" shoulder in an attempt to rouse him, but it was no use. Roxas was completely out and showed no signs of waking up any time soon. To make matters worse, I heard voices approaching. I quickly put myself in front of Roxas and tried to summon my keyblade. Despite not having summoned the weapon since I merged with Sora's heart, the wing shaped blade came to my hand as easily as breathing. I held up Wayward Wing tiredly, ready to protect my unconscious companion.
I saw a pair of legs clad in high black boots and black stockings. "Jaune, go get help." A high-pitched, female voice commanded. "Are you okay?" it sounded like she was asking me, but I couldn't find my voice. I felt my grasp on Wayward Wing slipping and the world started going dark. The last thing I heard was the sound of my weapon hitting the hard ground.
(Ruby POV, Five Minutes Before)
So far my first day at the most prestigious training academy for hunters and huntresses was off to a horrible start. Upon arriving at Beacon, my big sister had abandoned me, I'd tripped over some crabby girl's luggage, and then I had exploded. Well, not really exploded, more caused dust to react by sneezing, but that caused a big explosion. Now I was lying on the cold ground, completely depressed with how the day was going.
"Need a hand?" I looked up to see a boy with blonde hair offering me his hand. He was wearing a black hoodie with an orange hood, a white breastplate and shoulder gaurds, brown fingerless gloves, two belts in an X shape, and a pair of normal blue jeans. On one of his belts was what looked like an average sheathed sword.
Finally, someone friendly. I smiled, grabbing the boy's hand as he hoisted me to my feet. "Thanks. I'm Ruby."
"The name's Jaune Arc. Short, sweet, rolls off the tounge. The ladies love it." Jaune gave me a wink upon saying the last part of his introduction. I couldn't help but laugh.
"Do they?" Before Jaune could answer, something behind me caught his eye.
"Have those two guys been lying there this entire time?" What two guys? I was the only one over here. I turned around to see two identical looking boys lying on the ground. It was as if they had appeared out of nowhere.
Everything from their faces to their heights looked like mirror images of one another. Even their messy spikes of blonde hair were styled exactly the same. The only distinguishing feature between the two boys was how they were dressed. One was wearing a hooded black coat that came down to his ankles. The bottom of the coat was unzipped revealing a pair of large black shoes and black pants. On each hand, he wore a black glove.
The other boy was wearing a windbreaker that was white on one side and black on the other side, a black high collared shirt underneath his coat, a pair of black and grey pants, and shoes that had some sort of armor on various parts. On his left shoulder was a small metal shoulder guard. Finally, the boy wore one black and white checkered bracelet on his left wrist.
"Do you think they need any help?" I asked Juane. Neither boy was moving, which was pretty concerning.
"Yeah, I think they could use some," Jaune decided. "Besides, strangers are just friends you haven't met yet." When Jaune and I started approaching, the boy who wasn't wearing the long coat, I decided to call him Blonde #1 until I learned his real name, opened his eyes and began looking around. His eyes were deep blue, and a number of different emotions were painted in them. Among them, I saw confusion and fear.
Without warning, Blonde #1 reached out his hand and a strange looking sword materialized. Well that's not something you see everyday. He immediately put himself in front of the other boy, as if to protect him from Jaune and I.
"Jaune, go get help," I said forcefully
"Got it." Jaune began sprinting toward the school's main building.
"Hey, are you okay?" I asked Blonde #1, trying to sound as gentle as possible. His response was to drop his sword and pass out. "I guess not," I said rushing to check on him. Luckily he was still breathing. When I reached to retrieve his sword, it wasn't there anymore. This just keeps getting weirder.
Moments later Jaune reappeared with a few teachers in tow. Together we were able to move the two unconscious blondes to Beacons' medical ward, where both were placed on hospital beds and checked by the nurses on duty.
"They're fine, just exhausted," one nurse informed Jaune and I. "Do you two know them?"
Jaune and I shook our heads. "Never seen them before."
The nurse sighed. "Alright. Come back in a little while, they'll probably be awake by the time the headmaster's opening remarks are over. When they're awake, you can take them to see the headmaster." With that, Jaune and I began to leave. As I was exiting the room, I heard the boy in black mutter one sentence.
"Please, don't let me disappear."
AN: Well, how'd you like that? I think it was actually pretty half decent. As always, give me some feedback and I will happily kiss your feet, reply, which ever. Read, Rate, and Review. Rinse and Repeat.
