Disclaimer! I don't own Kingdom Hearts or its characters. If I did, certain things would be changed. *evil laugh* BTW, this is my first story, so any help would be nice.
I land on a strange space. I can only see darkness stretching out for miles. I take a step forward and the sound of flapping wings begins under my feet. Immediately, doves fly into the air all around me. I have to cover my eyes. Eventually, it stops and I'm able to see again. Instead of the endless darkness, I stand on a circular platform made, apparently, of stained glass. It depicts a woman in a yellow and blue dress, surrounded by various forest animals.
"So much to do, so little time... Take your time. Do not be afraid. The door is still shut. Now, step forward. Can you do it?"
"Well of course I can take a step forward," I say as I do just that, "Wait, who said that?" Suddenly, three pillars of stone rise from the ground. A weapon appears on each in a flash of light. The one the left holds a shield, the stone in the center supports a sword, and the one on the right lifts a staff. All of them have an odd symbol of three circles on them. It almost looks like a head and two over-sized ears.
"If you give it form, it will give you strength. Choose well." I go to the sword and pick it up. This was definitely weird, but there's nothing else to do here. Besides, who wouldn't want a sword? "The power of the warrior. Invincible courage. Is this the power you choose?"
"Yes," I say. The sword then disappears from my hand.
"Now, what will you give up?" I have to think for a while about this. It sounds like I'd be losing something here. Eventually, I end up going to the staff. "The power of the mystic. A staff of great wonder and ruin. Is this the power you give up?"
"Yes," I say again.
"You chose the power of the warrior, you've given up the power of the mystic, is this the form you choose?"
"Yeah," I repeat, "are we done he- What the-!" as I talk, the stone pillars crack and sink into the ground. Likewise, the floor I stand on is soon riddled with spiderweb cracks. Before long, the glass shatters and I fall into the dark abyss below. Waiting for the end, I close my eyes... and float safely to the ground. "At least I'm alive," I mutter. What is this place?
This platform pictures another woman, but in a blue dress. Suddenly, the sword I chose appears in my hand in a flash of light. "You have gained the power to fight," the voice says, " Use this power to protect yourself and others."
As soon as the voice stopped talking, a small, shadowy monster comes up from the ground. It has yellow eyes and 2 antenna-like things on its head. It doesn't look dangerous at first, so I don't feel threatened. Suddenly, the monster leaps from the ground and hits me with its claws. "Ow!" Nothing hits me like that! "That's it! You're going down!" In my anger, I hit the monster multiple times in quick succession with my sword. It didn't stand a chance. Soon, it disappears in a cloud of black smoke.
"Look out!" the voice says. "Behind you!" "No offense, mysterious voice, but the monsters are all around me. Even so, I make short work of the shadow beasts. They're ridiculously easy to kill. Out of the corner of my eye, I see one of the monsters sinking into the ground. Before I can do anything about it, it's gone. Well, not really. The shadow it creates on the glass spreads farther and farther. Eventually, it even reaches me. I start to sink in, despite my frenzied attempts to get out. This stuff is like quicksand! As my head goes under, I think 'This time it's for real. I'm gonna die...'
Or maybe not. I open my eyes to see I'm on, yet another, circular area. Once again, it depicts a woman( This place is very repetitive, isn't it?). This one in a yellow ballgown. All of a sudden, a swarm of Shadows make an appearance. Once again, it takes almost no time at all to defeat them. "Piece of cake!" I say triumphantly. After I destroy the monsters, a ring of light appears. Curious, I walk into it. It shines even brighter for a moment and I suddenly feel refreshed. Looking down at my arms, I realize all of my wounds have been healed somehow. Then, a set of stairs that led to who knows where appears. I proceeded to walk up them.
I get to the top of the stairs and reach what I hope is the last platform. Finally, the voice speaks up again. "But be careful, the closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow becomes." I look behind me to see my shadow growing longer. It then somehow rises out of the ground and gets larger! At the end of the transformation, my shadow has become a giant, black monster with strands of darkness coming from its head. There is also a huge hearts shaped hole in its center. I turn to run away, but there is nowhere to go. I have to fight. "But don't be afraid," the voice says, 'and don't forget..." It cuts off.
"Don't forget what?" I say desperate. It's a futile effort though, because the voice is gone. I then go to fight the monster. The dark being starts by punching the ground. A sphere of darkness appears around its fist while on the ground and a horde of shadows come out. I ignore them and attack only the giant. After a few seconds, the fist pulled back up and I fight the small monsters. After they die, I turn my attention to the giant. I grab its hand as it pounds the ground and climb up to one of its dark strands on its head and hold on to them.I hang from the strands while I beat the head with my sword.
After awhile, it shakes me off and gets down on its knees. The heart-shaped hole in its middle glows before firing a missile at me. In an act of pure instinct, I hit the missile back. The projectile hits the monster and it recoils in pain, but keeps firing. I send back every one, and when I hit the last missile back, the monster glows a brilliant white and falls over.
Right on top of me.
As I sink into darkness once again, the voice returns saying, " but don't be afraid, you hold the mightiest weapon of all. And don't forget, you will open the door.
