Hey everybody, it's me, Kyle XY! It's been so long since I have done anything of besides reading other stories (great work you guys ; ) ). Anyway, before I can get started, I have to go over the disclaimer that nobody really reads but is the only thing that keeps this from getting deleted. So here it goes….. Everything you are about to read in this fan fiction does NOT belong to me! I don't own Kingdom Hearts, Super Smash Bros., Disney, Cartoon Network, Warner Brothers, Nickelodeon, Spongebob Squarepants, Codename: Kids Next Door, Final Fantasy, or any other video game/TV show/book/movie/etc. that you will find in this story. Also, I don't own anything that has to do with the titles above, all credit and ownership belongs to the creators that actually made these titles. Another thing to note is that the events in this story are fictitious; none of the mentioned characters have actually done any of this. Well, at least for now, BUT THAT'S NOT THE POINT! The point is that except for the idea of this story, nothing in this fan fiction belongs to me. …whew… Well, glad that's all out of the way. And now, without further ado, I present to you…

KINGDOM HEARTS

Chapter I:
Prologue
"Long ago, people live in peace, bathed in the warmth of light. Everyone loved the light. Then people began to fight over it. They wanted the light for themselves. And darkness was born in their hearts. The darkness spread, swallowing the light and many people's hearts. It covered everything, and the world disappeared. But small fragments of the light survived…in the hearts of children. With these fragments of light, children rebuilt the lost world. It's the world we live in now. But the true light sleeps, deep within the darkness. That's why the worlds are still scattered, divided from each other. But someday, a door to the innermost darkness will open. And the true light will return. So, listen, child. Even in the deepest darkness, there will always be light to guide you. Believe in the light, and the darkness will never defeat you. Your heart will shine with its power and push the darkness away. Do you understand..."
Opening Movie
(Sanctuary plays in the background)
Ahhhhhahhhahh…...
A spiky-brown-haired boy wearing red and black clothes and a crown necklace is seen falling through darkness.
Wownkuoynahtsnoitomeeromdeei/(Ineedmoreemotionsthanyouknow).
A tall long-silver-haired boy wearing yellow and blue clothes is looking out towards the empty ocean.
(Instrumental)
A short-red-haired girl wearing white and pink/light purple clothes is sitting on the beach making a star-shaped charm out of thalsa-shells.
The three are later seen sitting on/against a bent over palm tree, staring at the sun setting over the ocean.
(Bigger instrumental)
The spiky-haired boy's two companions dematerialize and he then jumps off the tree, the background dematerializing while he is in mid-air.
In you and I, there's a new laaaannnnn-nnnnnnd. (Angles in flight) Wownkuoynahtsnoitomeeromdeei/(Ineedmoreemotionsthanyouknow). My sanctuary, my sanctuary, yea.
He then lands on a newly materialized setting, next to a small anthromorphic duck in blue clothes, a blue hat, and welding a magic staff and a tall anthromorphic dog wearing a green shirt, black vest, an odd looking hat, and welding a round shield. The boy soon summons a large key-like sword into his hands. The setting was now inside a gorge of rising water falls and floating blue rocks. Several dark ant-like creatures appear and immediately start attacking our heroes. Fortunately, the three are able to fend them off, vanquishing each one off one after the other. As they ascend higher up the falls the scenery keeps rapidly changing to many different areas: a town square, a large bizarre-looking room, a coliseum, a jungle, a bustling Arabian bazaar, the belly of a whale, an undersea floor, a dark spooky looking town, a pirate ship, a joyful story book, and then back to the same area as before except in front of a large castle that over looks the blue plains. The trio fights of the creatures as they continue forward, stopping in front of a large door and running inside as it opens.
They run in only for the boy to discover one of his friends, the girl, lying on the floor unconscious. He runs to her and tries to wake her up but she still remains asleep. He then turns around to see his other friend, the taller boy, in dark clothing, wielding a large key-sword as well, but more dark-looking. He has an evil and somewhat possessed look on his face and the hero looks at him with a regretful yet hopeful expression and runs toward him. Time seems to slow down, and as the boy runs towards his dark friend, the scenery changes into a bright sunny beach. The friend is holding out his hand, looking as if to ask for the boy to join him or to challenge him to a battle. The boy is running towards his friend, as he sees a towering wave form behind his dark rival, and just as he is about to touch his friend's hand, the wave crashes down leading the boy into a dark realm. The realm soon fills with more creatures differing greatly from the ones the boy fought, each one more different and terrifying than the last. The hero and his companions take them out one by one, showing much and yet at the same time little effort. The realm soon fills with the images of six dastardly villains: a demon like god with a fire for hair, a visor in red and black robes holding a scepter and a magic lamp, a large woman with octopus tentacles instead of legs, a large burlap sack in the shape of a large man/starfish with a sinister sewed-on smile and a pair of dice, a pirate captain in red clothes with a large hat and a hook where his left hand should be, and a dark witch with black robes and a scepter with a serious yet evil expression. The dog fires himself like a missile into the first three and the duck follows suit by casting a large fire-work like spell on the next two. The scene changes now into another part of the same castle, a large round room with walls resembling a chapel. The boy then charges toward the witch and jumps into the air and then, even though the witch transforms herself into a mighty dragon, the boy slashes right through the creature in a single blow. Darkness is left behind in the dragons place and a man in a black coat emerges from the darkness and fights the boy with balls of light like matter, laser beams, and laser like ethereal blades emerging from his hands. The boy fights back, but the man disappears before the final blow is struck.
Where fears and lies, melt awa-aaahhhh-hhhyyyy. (Music in time)
Wownkuoynahtsnoitomeeromdeei/(Ineedmoreemotionsthanyouknow)
What's left of me-ee, what's left of me, now?
The scene changes back to the room where the dark friend is and the boy quickly fights him, there keys clashing against each other with much force. The boy makes a horizontal sweep only for his opponent to jump out of the way and float down in front of a heart shaped portal. As he descends his appearance changes into that of a man wearing black and white clothes and long white/silver hair with a hear like emblem with an x-cross on his chest (similar to the dark creatures), and an evil but calm look in his face. A dark spirit-like creature with a heart shaped hole in his torso emerges from his back, acting as a symbiotic guardian. The boy musters his courage and strikes a big blow to him, causing light to appear from where he struck.
(Instrumental)
The scene is now a pitch black realm with a large double door slightly opened with light pouring out from it. The man shields himself from the light but is eventually consumed by the light and disappears. The trio tries to close the door that is now overflowing with darkness. They get some help from the other side of the door, however it is from the boy's friend (now good and in regular clothes) and a small anthromorphic mouse, who is the friend of the duck and dog also, wearing red and black clothes with big round ears and a key similar to the boy's. Both the boy's key and the mouse's key glow with bright light, and as the boy's friend says something to him, the door closes and disappears into light. The girl, now awake, is reaching out to the boy as they are being separated, the boy standing on a white platform and the girl on a patch of sand that is growing and moving away. The patch of sand turns into an island, the island that the three friends come from. The girl remembers how she is revived; the boy stabbing himself in the chest with the dark key, releasing his heart as well as the girl's heart. The dark key also disappears and turns into six other hearts returning to their owners. As the girl wakes up the boy disappears and turns into one of the dark creatures. But the girl, unafraid, embraces the creature, returning him into his former self. The girl's flashback ends and she looks out to the boy, just barely seen in the horizon, shouting out something to her but then his image turns into lights that restore the stars in the night sky, as well as many other lost worlds.
I watch you fast asleep.
The scene changes to the girl looking at a picture of the boy's and girl's faces sharing stars with each other. She smiles with a tear on her check.
The older boy (friend) opens a door.
The boy (hero) is shown falling towards a stain glass pillar.
All I fear, means nothing.
(Ahh-ahhaha-aahhh-ahhh-ahhhhhh)
The boy chooses between a sword, staff, and shield, and later fights more dark creatures and eventually a large looking on with a heart shaped hole in its chest. The platform then brakes and he falls down.
In you and I, there's a new laaaannnnn-nnnnnnd. (Angles in flight) Wownkuoynahtsnoitomeeromdeei/(Ineedmoreemotionsthanyouknow). My sanctuary, my sanctuary, yea.
The boy then runs towards his friend on the beach similar to their previous battle, then runs to the girl who is waving to him and both look up to see two falling "meteors". One is revealed to be their friend, while the other is the boy. The boy is suddenly in the perspective of his falling self and later falls into more darkness. Before he can touch the pillar, however, his appearance changes, and he now appears as a boy around the same age except his spiky hair is blonde and styled a little differently, and he wears black and white clothes, and his crown necklace turns into an x-shaped cross pendant. The boy then lands next to his companions in his regular appearance. They are on a dirt road in a green grassy valley. As they walk, day turns to night, and the boy is now in the crossroads of the dirt path, and chases a man in a black coat similar to the man he faced before, and chases him down one of the four paths. At the same time, an image of an armored knight with a long huge key chasing an old man in similar clothes as the man the boy defeated in a desert region with a similar crossroads with large keys in the ground instead of grass. Two other knights can be seen behind the running one; one a woman with a long thin key and a boy with a long curved key held backhanded. A boy in a dark outfit similar the friend of the hero-boy except in different colors and a dark helmet covering his face as well as a dark gear-like key.
Where fears and lies, melt awa-aaahhhh-hhhyyyy. (Music in time)
Wownkuoynahtsnoitomeeromdeei/(Ineedmoreemotionsthanyouknow)
What's left of me-ee, what's left of me?
The scene is back to the hero-boy as he and his companions run into a large ominous castle. At the same time the hero-boy's friend awakens in a lower part of the castle along with the mouse. Both parties start running up the castle, the white halls changing into the places they have been to, similar to before, each group fighting off dark creatures.

As they ascend even further they fight off more people wearing black coats. The boy fights a woman with bright yellow hair styled back with two strands in an antennae style. She fights him with four yellow knives in each hand, crackling with electricity, throwing them at the hero as well as summoning bolts of lightning to subdue him, but the boy evades and blocks these attacks and quickly finishes her. But as she fades into an electrical darkness, a man with long blond hair, wielding a blue shield with spikes on the top. They appear to be fighting in front of a mansion in a forest outside of a town during sunset. The man summons stalagmites of ice to rid himself of the boy but the hero doges all of them. The boy clashes his key on the man's shield and then the boy and the scenery disappear only to be replaced by the halls and the boy's friend. The man attacks the hero-friend but his adversary proves tougher with the might of his own demon-wing-like sword. The man summons a large blizzard but then is destroyed by a fireball from completely out of nowhere, fading him into an icy darkness. But the hero-friend's victory is soon interrupted by a battle with a large muscular man with short orange hair styled back wielding a mighty tomahawk that worked more as a hefty sword. The man attacks the boy with his weapon and slams him into the ground, creating shockwaves and raises the earth out of the ground to crush him. But the boy transforms into his dark clothes and quickly destroys him, leaving him to disappear into a rocky darkness. The boy then rushes towards a young man with silvery- lavender hair covering one side of his face, wielding a sturdy book. The scene changes into a distorted memory of the islands the three friends once lived on. The man threw his book at the boy and later resorted to casting dark spells full of magic and illusion that almost finishes the boy, but the boy suddenly throws a ball of dark energy at him and destroys the man. As the man fades away into a hazy darkness, his essence is absorbed into a copy of the boy who later fights the hero-boy and then gets defeated by the hero-friend, smiling as he fades into a comforting darkness. A young man with spiky red hair watches this amusingly but then soon fights against the hero-boy. He tosses and spins his two red and silver chakrams at the boy, each one ignited in flames. The boy deflects these and strikes the man, but before taking any more lethal damage, he uses a dark portal to escape. The boy stands confused but quickly shakes it off as the scene is now in a floral looking white hall, and he fights against the master of the castle, a young man with long pink hair, wielding a long pink and green scythe, with pink rose petals falling around him.

(Insturmental)
The two fight, both furiously swinging their weapon at the other. The battle scene quickly and repeatedly shifts between these two and the hero-friend fighting the man with the heart emblem on his chest who had somehow returned. The hero-friend slashed the man who faded into darkness but with some entering his chest, and the hero-boy threw his key at the pink-haired man, vanquishing him into a petal filled darkness. The hero-friend and his mouse-friend exit the castle, both wearing black coats, along with a man in red robes and red bandages around almost all of his face, and walk down a path leading to a new dawn.
Meanwhile, the hero-boy and his companions step into white pods and fall instantly asleep. Before the boy sleeps, however, he smiles at a girl with long blond hair wearing a white dress, while holding onto a drawing pad. She speaks something to him, and at the same time, the girl on the islands says something as well, the scene alternating between the two rapidly. The boy smiles and soon falls asleep.
Meanwhile, the boy that the hero-boy changed into before, is wearing a black coat as well, and is fighting off dark creatures in a town covered in the light of the setting sun. He fights them off with the same key as the boy-hero, but is not alone. He is accompanied by two friends: one is the red spiky-haired man from the castle, and the other is a girl with black hair with the same key as well. They are all wearing black coats. Later, the girl runs away, leaving the other two behind. The man looks depressed, but the other-hero-boy chases after and ends up fighting her, both fighting regretfully. The boy wins, but is sad to see his friend fading away in front of him. She gives him her key with a calm smile on her face and fades away into a crystallized light that smelled of ice-cream and tears. The scene changes into a dark city in the midst of rain. The boy takes both keys, his eyes filled with sadness, anger, and vengeance, runs into the cities square. His keys suddenly transform into different looking versions: one as white as light, the other as black as darkness. He fends off many dark creatures and then faces the friend of the hero-boy, older, wearing a black coat, and a black bandage covering his eyes.
You showed me how to see that nothing is whole, and
No-oo-thing, is brokennnnn.
(Ahh-ahhaha-aahhh-ahhh-ahhhhhh)
He tosses him the black key and they both start fighting each other, the hero-friend's dark powers colliding with the other-hero-boy's light powers. As they fight, images of the girl on the island, the girl in white, and the girl in the black coat start flashing through their heads, the latter fading into static. The hero-friend returns the black key to the boy and removes his bandage, turning into the man he and his friend faced long ago. Although he looked the same, as well as having his guardian, the dark-man-hero-friend still retained his black coat. He quickly knocked out the boy and took him to the man in red robes who sent him into a digitized version of the sunset town.
In his black and white clothes, the boy lived the life of a regular teenager with three friends: one a girl with brown hair and orange clothes, one a boy with black hair and red clothes, and the third a boy with short blonde hair stylized back wearing green clothes. They played with each other but soon the spiky red-haired man confronted the boy with several white and grey creatures. They fight, and the man uses his chakrams to summon a large cylinder of fire to surround them both, but the boy then converts his single key into his two black and white keys and defeats him. Before the man retreats, he smiles at his past friend, and disappears, leaving the boy to remember everything. The boy then rushes to the pod containing the hero-boy, his other half. He smiles as he walks towards him, fading as he gets closer, and finally disappears as he fuses with him.
The hero-boy, now awakened and older, jumps out of the pod, his clothes change into a different black outfit fitting him much better than his outgrown ones. He and his companions run for ward, the scene rapidly changing again into many worlds old and new, including: the blue world with a castle now restored with many happy residents, a temple full of Chinese architecture, a gloomy castle, the coliseum leading to a dark cavern, under the sea again, a pirate ship with sails as black as coal manned by the most courageous and odd pirate of the seven seas, the Arabian streets again, the spooky town leading to a snowy and festive village (Merry Christmas shout out!), a once proud and grassy savannah, a digital world, the story book again, a beautiful castle, a blackand white world from the past, the sunset town, and the dark city with a white castle. When they enter the beautiful castle, they enter a portal where they fight a man in armor exactly like the knight seen earlier as well as the same key. The man fights ferociously, but the heroes defeat them and he excepts the boy as a warrior, and allows them to leave. As they go they face off against many dark and white/grey creatures, as well as villains new and old, and more people in black coats.
In you and I, there's a new laaaannnnn-nnnnnnd. (Angles in flight) Wownkuoynahtsnoitomeeromdeei/(Ineedmoreemotionsthanyouknow). My sanctuary, my sanctuary, yea.
As they go through the revived blue area, they fight against a young man with blond hair made into a mullet, wielding a long blue sitar. Besides playing it, the man also used it to summon water clones of him self, pillars of water, or just waking our heroes with it. Although his beats were righteous, our hero struck him with an upward strike while his back was turned, sending him into a watery darkness. As they stood outside the gloomy castle, they fought against a muscular man with long black hair in dreadlocks tied back as well as side-burns. He wielded six long lavender and blue lances; two in one hand, one in the other, and the other three behind him carried by the wind. He assaulted the three with vicious strikes from his lances and whirl winds and tornadoes of death, but as he struck downward, the boy jumped high above him and mimicked the same move, finishing him off and vanquishing him to a windy darkness. They run through a strange in-between realm and are attacked by white creatures. Luckily though, they are helped by the man with spiky red hair, who admitted to kidnapping the boy's friend from the islands, but explains that the others in black coats took her away from him. After sacrificing him self, he opens a portal for the heroes before fading away into a fiery darkness. The three eventually reached the dark city, but the boy was suddenly separated from his companions and sent to the realm that he had remember falling in, the dark realm with the stained glass pillars. There, he fought his other, the other-hero-boy, in his black coat, wielding his two keys. There attacks matched each other, blow for blow, not one being stronger than the other.
The hero-boy, however, evened the odds by transforming his clothes red and wielded two keys, fighting with great strength. Then his clothes changed blue and his single key shot out great arrows of light and great blasts of different spells, wilding much magic. Then his clothes changed yellow, and he once again wielded two keys, except one floated in his hand, and he swung both with much great aerial speed and magic, showing his balanced dexterity. Then his clothes and skin transformed black and navy and his eyes were replaced with yellow dots that resembled those of the dark creatures, and although he had no key, he used his fists/claws as weapons of much death and destruction, showing the massive power of the darkness in his heart. Then his skin and eyes returned to normal, but his clothes changed color so that they resembled the color of his original clothes, and used his single key to perform powerful attacks from his past adventure that he had all but forgotten, revealing the power of all of his abilities. Then, as he reverted to his normal self, he knocked out his opponent, claimed his keys, and used them to combat him with much power. But suddenly, his other warped behind him and reclaimed his keys. But before he could strike, our hero warped behind him and finished him off. The other-hero-boy returns the hero-boy to his companions and leaves, but before he does, he remembers the good times with his friends, even if he only remembers one of them. He has a subliminal meeting with his friend in his consciousness and then they both disappear, with the boy to reunite completely with his other half.
The heroes then quickly ascend the large floating white castle, taking out more creatures and men in black coats as they go. An old man with grey hair tied in a pony-tail and an eye patch attacks the three with laser bullets fired from his twin arrow-guns. He relentlessly bombards them while warping around, altering the space of the battle field, and even standing on the air. The man summons a powerful blast but before it hits the boy, he warps behind the man and hits the blast into him, causing the old man to fade into a space-distorted darkness. The boy later reunites with his friends, the girl from the islands that had changed so much, even wearing a pink outfit, and his friend who was once possessed by darkness, but now wields it as its master. Though his appearance is that of their old enemy, the boy instantly recognizes him as his best friend and they all continue forward. Along the way, they fight more men in black coats. A man with blonde hair in a buzz-cut challenges our hero alone to a game of life or death. He uses his endless amount of enchanted cards that hold many tricks and his powers over time to put the boy in a bind. But his time was up, as the hero-boy quickly turned the man's rules against him and bombarded him with his own cards, causing him to fade into a time-distorted darkness. They later fight against a man with long blue hair and a scar on his face, wielding a large, hefty, and strange looking claymore. He used his power over the heart shaped moon in the sky to increase his strength tenfold and crush our heroes under the gravitational pull that was his fury. However, the boy soon grabbed his claymore and used his own power against him. As the man faded regretfully, he held his hand out toward the moon, and faded into a lunar darkness.
The group finally manages to reunite with their mouse friend who is with the man in red robes but with his bandages off, revealing his face. He uses a device to cause an explosion that ultimately destroys him, but allows him to do his part and damage a large part of the moon. The blast may have destroyed the man, but it also managed to return the boy's friend to their regular state. The hero-friend discards his coat to reveal his new yellow and blue apparel, and the group, now fully reunited, ascends to the top of the castle.
Where fears and lies, melt awa-aaahhhh-hhhyyyy. (Music in time)
Wownkuoynahtsnoitomeeromdeei/(Ineedmoreemotionsthanyouknow)
What's left of me-ee, what's left of me, now?
As they meet with the leader of the now defeated organization of people in black coats, a man in a black coat with long silver hair and a face similar to that of man of darkness that they fought on their first adventure, uses all of his power over the non-existent realm and fused with the moon revealed to be the legendary Kingdom Hearts. He fights against the hero and his friend, his powers and attacks revealing him to be the same man in the black coat they fought in the tall castle during the first adventure, and uses his powers over nothingness to destroy the heroes and almost eliminates them. However, hero-boy transforms his clothes into white garments and uses the two keys of his other to hold him off. Then the hero-friend uses his powers over darkness to dish out even more damage. Then the hero-boy reverts to normal and both boys use their powers to defeat the man together. In an instant, the man fades into an empty darkness.
(Instrumental)
The two friends find themselves on a dark beach, but later find a letter in a bottle. The hero-boy reads the letter and a door of light opens and leads the boys back to their island, falling just as they had earlier in the story.
My fears…
They reunite with their friends on the beach. They smile at each other happily, hugging each other warmly. The hero-boy returns to the girl the good luck charm that she had given to him so long ago.
My lies…
The mouse along with the duck, dog, and the small cricket who acted as their chronicler return to their world with the beautiful castle and open up the book containing their adventures to discover an entry that was never written there before: WE MUST RETURN TO FREE THEM FROM THEIR TORMENT. They look at it confused. A digital version of the hero-boy opens a door to reveal light.
Melt away-yayy.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
The three friends sit together on the palm tree watching the sunset.

The boy is later seen there alone.

AUTHOR'S NOTE:
CONGRADULATIONS! You are actually reading this note! If you are reading this than you are either curious, very thankful for all of the work I've put into this, or just plain board. If you aren't the latter (or if you are and feel very insulted and want to prove me wrong) then by all means, read this because I doubt anyone else reads these sorts of things (I know I usually don't. USUALLY!)
So how was it? I know it wasn't much but it was just the opening movie, and every Kingdom Hearts game has to start with something, and since the main series titles (KH, KH Re:CoM, & KH2) started with what happened in the previous games (well except KH because that was the first game) and since this is an imaginary sequel, I wanted to do the same. But this includes more than just KH 1, CoM, and 2, but it also includes everything in between. If you are a true KH expert/enthusiast and you have been following every fan site for the latest news, then you may have noticed one or two references to the three new portable KH games that we Americans can't wait to receive from Japan. Yes I'm talking about KH coded, KH 358/2 Days, & KH BbS (the latter just barely making its way to Japanese video game isles in the matter of a week). If some of you are mild KH fans who only know of the new games from commercials or magazines than you may not know about the last two games, since KH coded has just finished in Japan and KH BbS isn't due to Japan until January next year (01/09/2010), leaving KH 358/2 Days being the only of the three portable games to be released world wide. And if there are some of you who don't know or like Kingdom Hearts and don't have any idea what I'm talking about then how did you even get here in the first place? GET OUT OF HERE! I'm just kidding, everybody is welcome here, as long as you're nice. But if you are new to the series and you really don't know what I'm talking about with all of these B's, C's, M's, 2's, or even the whole / thing, there is a list below this note for reference. But if you are new to the series and haven't even gotten as far as past the ending of KH1 then you probably shouldn't be reading this fic until you have gotten pretty far in the series, like finishing KH2 after getting KH CoM for the Game Boy Advanced and having to waste your money to get the 3D PS2 version with all of the new scenes and stuff that they didn't think of when they first put it on the Game Boy. Also, although this is optional, you can check out the Japanese special editions called "Final Mix", although they never released outside of Japan making it a hassle just to get the game, let alone play it without having to take off a piece of your PS2. But I digress. Anyway, thanks for reading my fic and this note and be sure to leave a review before you go. NO FLAMES! By the way, here's the list I mentioned before.

It's a lot to take in but you will get there someday. Be aware that about half of these are currently unavailable anywhere outside Japan and the Final Mix's and KH Mobile might never leave Japan either, but whether you decide to chase them or not is your decision. So now that you know the general info on these games I suggest that you go and try them your selves. Their stories are really worth while and it will help with avoiding spoilers. If you can't get the games then that's ok, you could watch online videos and there are a few fan fictions that summarize the games, although it's really worth seeing them in person. Well I hope this helps and remember to read and review. Again, NO FLAMES! Thank you.
