Notes: Takes place after the events of Kingdom Hearts 2, but it's an original story. I do not own the series or any of the characters, except the one I make up. Besides, if I did, the game would have been darker and better, maybe a little more perverted as well. This will be rewritten since its not that great. Please review after reading, otherwise how else would I know how to improve; I value feed back, even if it's negative.
Chapter 1: Mickey's Request!
My dearest Minie,
Donald, Goofy, and I are doing our hardest to locate Sora and Riku. They left to the realm of darkness to find their friend Kairi, who has been kidnapped by a certain someone, but we can't prove it just yet. If my hunch is right, we're all in deep trouble.
"Oh no!" Minie gasped. "I thought she was gone for good."
Minie, the heartless will come back soon, stronger than they were before, and in greater numbers I might add. Since our legendary keyblades are no longer able to protect the worlds at this time, I am going to need you to do something for me.
"Anything for you, my king," Minie commented with fierce determination.
In the throne room, behind our portrait, is a safe. It's specifically sealed by magic to make sure you're the only one who can open it at anytime. Once opened, you'll see a medium sized, black box containing the five elemental keyblades. When you open the box, the keyblades should shoot out and find their rightful owners. Whoever they may find are the only ones who can protect us while we're out of commission. My queen, I miss you dearly. I know I'm out of the castle a lot, but it's to protect our worlds from the forces of darkness. Speaking of forces of darkness..............
"Whoa, that is inappropriate," Minie commented with a huge grin on her face.
She rushed to the throne room and accidentally bumped into Daisy on the way, knocking them both down. Daisy was about to asked what happened, but Minie grabbed her by the hand and told her that she will fill her in on the way. Once they arrived in front of the throne room, Minie unsealed the door and rushed in. Daisy stood in the door way looking dazed and confused. It was safe to say she wasn't informed, and if she was , she was completely lost. Minie swung open the portrait like there was no tomorrow, and saw the safe that was fore-mentioned in her letter. She knew her magic could open it, but she had no idea how.
"Figures that the king gives you the the tools you need, but not the knowledge of how to use them," Daisy kept to herself as she reached the end of the letter that she somehow got a hold of. Minie took a deep breath and struck her hand out. A pink glow surrounded her hand and the combination lock started to solve itself. A few seconds passed and the door opened. Minie reached inside and grabbed the box and placed it on her throne. She gazed at it for a little while, hoping to see a mere glimpse or even a faded memory of her Mickey touching this same box. Slowly she opened it, and saw five small keys. They slowly began to glow and shot out into the sky in five different colors, and to start the destinies of five unsuspecting people. "There, now the faith of the worlds are no longer my problem," the queen squeaked at a job well done.
"Since that's out of the way," the duck smiled, "we need to have a little talk."
A gentle breeze blew, causing a rustle among the leaves. Long red hair that has been contained by nothing more than a pony tail gently floated along. Deep amber eyes gazed out to the endless ocean, searching for something that isn't there. As the wind blew, the yellow tee shirt decorated with a light purple butterfly, stuck to her chest, but the wind had no effect on the khaki caprice she was wearing. "Rachel," the wind cried as it blew passed her. She turned around and headed into the forest. She, like many other people, lived on a Destiny island with another family. After all, Destiny Islands were a group of land masses that can be traveled between each other by small row boats. She shared her island with another girl called Kairi, but never actually met her because she always left early in the morning, and sometimes came back late at night.
She recalled this one time where Kairi fell into a tide pool and got her clothes wet, which was the last time that Kairi wore all white. She didn't blame her, but herself for not taking the chance to go and help her. Rachel considered following her or even waiting for her, but that could be taken the wrong way, such as stalking. She had left the forest and arrived at the pier, yet again, almost going out of everyday habit, and noticed that Kairi hasn't been back yet again. She sighed a little and stared out out into the sea again. Her parents wouldn't let her leave the island to visit her friends, since the ocean is "dangerous" and they don't want her to "disappear" like "some of the other children" have done. The local girl was the only other one who lived on the island that was even close to her age. Although the friendship didn't blossom sine no communication had ever happened between them.
Bothered by her own thoughts, the red-headed girl took in a deep breath and shouted, "I WISH I COULD GET OFF OF THIS STUPID ROCK! I WANT TO EXPLORE NEW PLACES, SEE MY FRIENDS, AND MAYBE EVEN MEET NEW PEOPLE! I'M TRAPPED IN A CAGE, WAITING TO BE SET FREE!" She didn't even know if she meant this stuff, it was just something she did that was a therapeutic. A release if you must. The wind grew stronger and the sky darkened, almost to where it was pitch black. It started to rain, but something was different here, after all, the water was a dark purple.
"A storm?" she gasped as she looked around, "but it's too early in the season." She started to head home, stepping in the puddles caused by the "rain". "That's weird, my shoe isn't wet," she noticed after stepping in quite a few. She stopped for a moment and turned around and noticed that something was emerging from the puddles. Small shadow-like things appeared (a shadow heartless I don't feel like describing). They rotated their head from side to side until they have set their sights on her. "That's not a friendly look," she thought as she turned tails and ran. She headed into the forest in hopes of losing them, but the plan backfired considering she tripped on a tree root that was sticking up from the ground. She turned around, still on the ground, and saw that they were closing in on her.
Just then, by some sheer miracle or maybe even divine intervention, a beam of green light shot out of the sky and hit the Shadows which caused them to vanish and small hearts to float in the sky. A light sparkled around Rachel's hand, and it revealed a keyblade. It had an emerald green hilt (unlike Sora's which is gold) and a sliver key shaped blade. Wait, why am I describing it, you guys know what a keyblade looks like, well I hope. Rachel quickly rose and stood her ground as the chain part with Mickey's logo dangled down. She didn't know how, but she'll fight off these strange creatures. It was as the heavens were on her side, a key lock shaped portal appeared in front of her. She glanced at it, even without hesitation, she jumped in, using it as a reason to escape the creatures and the island.
She fell into darkness for a few minutes until she landed on a dark, flat surface. She looked around to see if there was anyway she could place where she was at, but it was a futile effort. A light emerged from underneath her, a green calming glow. She stood up on her feet and looked to see where the light was coming from. A huge gasp escaped her mouth as she noticed that she was on a stained-glass surface. It was a green, circular surface, with a full body picture of her in the middle. The clothes she was wearing were faded out so she had no idea about what they were. She noticed that in the four corners were four small circles with pictures of four people she was familiar with. She shook her head as to awaken from this day dream, but it wouldn't be shaken. In a flash of light a door appeared on the other side of the surface. Rachel rushed over, but the door was locked and it wouldn't budge and inch. Rachel sighed as she released the door handle. She need to find a way out of here, and it seemed that the only solution was through the mysterious door.
"Do not fear," a female voice called out to her. It was sweet and coaxing. Rachel looked around to see where the voice was coming from, but it couldn't be placed. "I have come to help you," the voice informed her.
"Help me with what?" Rachel questioned the voice.
"I have come to help you," the voice repeated like a broken record. Rachel stepped back from the door. Something told her to get away. Just then, she was pushed back by some unknown force. She quickly got up and realized that she was on the other side of the surface again. Far away from the door. She looked down and saw that under her stained-glass picture, was a weird symbol, and flower petals that surrounded a scythe. She slowly looked back up and saw dark spheres forming in front of the door.
"I will help you realize your inner strength to help you combat the heartless," the voice informed her.
"Heartless," Rachel repeated back to herself as to confirm that it was the truth. The spheres merged together and formed a shadowy bird like heartless. It looked like the mix of an eagle, a crow, and some strange deformed phoenix. Her eyes widened in fear, her heart pounded against her chest, and fear lodged deep in the back of her throat; Rachel had no idea what to do. She remember that some strange blade appeared when she was at her island, but where did it go to. The creature flapped its wings to stay afloat as it glared at the redhead.
"How do I get past this thing?" Rachel pondered. The creature didn't move; it just stayed in place.
"First you have to choose to proprieties of your blade," the voice instructed her. Rachel looked confused as three balls of light appeared in front of her. One was a sword, the second was a wand, and the last was a shield. "What do you want to do?" the voice questioned her in a nagging tone.
"I just want to leave this area," Rachel responded with tears in her eyes.
"Not good enough!" the voice scolded, "just choose one." Rachel hesitated, but grabbed the one in the middle, which was a wand. Moments after, the bird's wings started to glow and it headed towards Rachel. "Call out you key blade!" the voice ordered.
"I don't know how!" Rachel told her as the bird flew past her. Rachel was shocked that nothing happened, but a few seconds flown by before she felt the "sonic wing" attack. This shock wave knocked her back and sent her flying back a little, almost knocking her off the surface.
"Hold out your hand and call the keyblade in your mind," the voice instructed. Rachel followed orders just as the bird was reading the same attack.
"KEYBLADE HELP ME!" Rachel shouted in her mind. A glow of light appeared in her hands followed by the keyblade. The bird let out a huge screech, reacting to the keyblade.
"Wind can knock out this heartless," the voice informed, making sure Rachel survived. Rachel nodded and pointed her keyblade at the fiend. It's like the knowledge to fight was awakened in her head. The heartless bird readied it wings and launched itself at Rachel.
"Whirlwind!" Rachel cried as a green gust of wind came out of her blade and stricken the bird. Somehow this was enough to stop the bird considering it was knocked back before it exploded into ashes and a bigger heart than the ones that she had seen was unleashed.
"Now it's time to tell you about the most important property of your blade. It can be used to unlock almost any door. All you have to do is point and it will unlock," the voice explained. Rachel didn't trust this, but she had no other choice. She walked over to the door and did exactly as she was told.
"It worked," she cheered, as an unlocking sound was heard and the door became more solid. Rachel sighed as her keyblade vanished. She placed her hand on the knob and turned it. She opened the door and then she removed her hand. The door stood ajar as her breath got heavier. Should she trust the voice and enter an unknown world? She wanted an adventure so she slowly opened the door all the way and walked into the dark, mysterious unknown.

We now set our sights on the next two wielders. What will be in store for them, and would it be similar the the experience Rachel had?
