It was a normal day in sleepy, Twilight Town. People were walking to the stores, doing odd jobs off the message board, and going to Sunset Hill to see the colorful sunset.
"Last one to the ice cream stand has to pay!" Shouted a boy with brown hair to his friends
"Hayner! You always win; Pence and I are getting sick of paying for you!" A girl with dark brown hair and a orange shirt called back
"Hello kids! Are you going to Sunset Hill tonight?" asked the old lady who sold the ice cream
"Nah, why do you ask?" said Hayner
"Why you don't know?" the vendor said, astonished "Tonight is supposed bring a meteor shower! Right after sunset!"
"Oh! We're gonna miss it!" cried Olette
"Here the ice cream's on me, run!" said the street vendor, handing them three ice cream sticks
"Thanks!" they all shouted back
As they ran to the station they bumped into a weird, unfamiliar kid. They couldn't care less, the needed to see the meteors.
'I wonder where I am. Why is everyone so rushed? I don't see any need to hurry.' thought the kid that Hayner, Pence, and Olette just bumped into. 'Am I missing something? Who's that?'
"Hi, my name is Axel. Got it memorized? I've been ordered to bring you to the old mansion. Follow me" said a strange man with red, spiky hair and a long black cloak.
'At least someone knows who I am. Maybe he can tell me what I'm doing here.'
They went through a crack in the wall that surrounded the city and walked through the dark woods. Finally they reached the Old Mansion, a place that was thought to be haunted long ago. They walked up to another man in a black cloak. 'What's with all the black cloaks?' the boy thought, 'It's really hot here, maybe they came from a place that's cold.' The man in black who wasn't Axel chuckled.
"Yes, you are right. We do come from some place cold. The darkness is very cold." He said in a deep voice and started talking to Axel again. The boy waited for them to finish, and the man, Xemnas, made some letters swirl around him. They suddenly stopped and Xemnas told him his new name was Roxas. Suddenly the Twilight Town trio came running over and grabbed Roxas. They took off.
"Wow, that was a close one." Hayner said as Olette and Pence stared at Roxas.
"Why did you take me away from them?" Roxas asked; puzzled by their sudden appearance.
"The cops have been after them for years, they send these weird people in jumpsuits that kill people. We got you away just in time! Here come the cops now." Said Pence looking through the bushes at the mansion. Axel and Xemnas disappeared as the cops shot at them. The sun was almost down, so the kids sat on the grass and stared at the sky, waiting for the meteors. 'Wow, this is gonna be cool, if Hayner was right' Roxas thought, because Hayner told him about the meteor shower. The first few lit up the sky, then the whole sky seemed to be on fire, burning with each streak.
Without warning the meteors hit Twilight Town.
All of it, along with sunset hill, the place everyone was, burned in the night.
Something fell towards them and left a crater.
Roxas walked towards it and saw that it was a ship. The rest of the kids stared at their home, now burned to the ground.
Roxas opened the ship's door carefully. He saw six people in it. A brunette boy with weird spiky hair, a duck with a staff, a dog with a shield, a red-haired girl, a boy with long silver hair, and a beautiful girl with gold hair and a white dress.
