MoC: Hello everyone, my name is The Master of Chaos, I always wanted to read a good kingdom hearts story resembling Beauty and the Beast, but I never found one so I'm making one, hope you enjoy.
Kiari: Italics are the characters thoughts.
Sora: Master of Chaos owns nothing except his OC's.
In a small rustic town in a quiet tranquil valley at the end of spring, three close friends are walking down a cobblestone street. The leader of the group is a young man by the name of Sora Strife, the son of former war hero, now inventor Cloud Strife, to his left is his adopted brother Matthew Strife, to Sora's right is their close friend Xion Lockhart, daughter of famous martial artist Tifa Lockhart. Sora is 18, with sky blue eyes and chocolate, spiky hair, Matthew is a former slave whom Cloud rescued, he is 16, with his sandy hair, nuclear blue eyes, and caring attitude, he has won the hearts of the villagers. Xion is a generally soft spoken and shy person who, when you look below the surface, is a deadly force to be reckoned with, she is 17, with Aqua blue eyes and obsidian hair. As the trio walk outside the town, they enter a fairly large clearing with a makeshift arena in the center (Picture Olympus Coliseums' arena), Sora and Matthew start walking to the center of the arena while a small crowd is already gathering.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's that time of year again, the time when we learn who is the strongest of the strong, swiftest of the swift, and the best of the best, as you all know, I am Xion and I will be announcing the event, let's meet the contestants, first, at age 19 is the tall, dark, and mysterious Riku Storm." Xion says as everyone starts cheering.
"Next is the son of a legend, a man that stands up for all his friends, at age 18 I present Sora Strife!" Xion shouts over the crowd.
"Third is the electric diva, the lightning legend, at age 22, I present Larxene Dragonheart." Xion shouts to everyone.
And this continued for quite a while as Xion listed off each contestant, until she got to the last one.
"Finally, last but certainly not least, I present to you someone who rose from the bottom, straight to the top, I present, at age 16, the town favorite, the dual-wielding dynamo, Matthew Strife!" Everyone is going ballistic, the air is charged with electricity as Xion signals for everyone to be quiet.
"As you all know, the winner will face off against the current champion, Vanitas Shade." Everyone resumes cheering as Vanitas enters the arena.
"Thank you, my loyal fans; I will not fail you in keeping my title as the champion." Vanitas says as he walks to the champion's seat.
"Well then, on that note, let's meet the contestants." Xion said as she walked over to Riku. "Riku, it's no surprise that you are in this contest but may I ask why?"
"Well, for starters, I want to prove to everyone that I can handle any battle situation." Riku said with a smirk.
"Interesting, and what weapon will you use in the fight?" Xion asked curiously.
"I will be using my trusty blade of darkness: Soul Eater." Riku replied confidently.
"How nice, now we move on to Sora, how are you today?" Xion asked Sora.
"I'm good; I assume you want to know why I'm here?" Sora asked Xion.
"Why yes." Xion replied.
"Well, I'm here because I want to get stronger to protect my friends." Sora said.
"And what weapon will you use in the fight." Xion asked.
"I will use my keyblade: The Kingdom Key." Sora said with a grin.
"Let's wish you good luck Sora, now we move on to Larxene, why are you here and what weapons are you going to use?" Xion inquired.
"I'm here to prove I'm the best, as for my weapon, I will use my knives, named Foudre." Larxene says triumphantly.
"I see, well it's time for the dynamo, Matthew, why are you here and what will you use?" Xion pondered.
"First off, I am here to show that my dad Cloud made the right choice in adopting me, I am here to show what a Strife can do, as for what I will use, I will use my keyblades: Sleeping Lion and Hidden Dragon." Matthew says as he summons his deadly blades.
"How exciting, and so noble as well, let's all wish you luck Matthew!" Xion says as she heads over to her seat on the side of the arena and picks something up.
"Now, we will have everyone draw numbers and whoever draws the same number as you is the one you're matched up against." Xion says as she walks around with a hat full of slips of paper.
"All right, I got seven!" Sora shouts as he looks around.
"What a coincidence, so did I." A cold voice said.
The owner of the voice is a man named Auron, a wandering traveler who settled down in the town.
"Let's have a good match." Sora says as they shake hands.
"I got three." Riku says.
"So did I." A guy named Tidus says.
"This will be an interesting battle." Riku says as they shake hands.
"Five, that's good." Larxene says confidently.
"It appears we have the same number," a woman with purplish gray hair says, "I'm Fuu."
"I'm Larxene, you better be prepared." Larxene warns.
"I got ten." Matthew says dejectedly.
"This will be a good match," a boy with blonde hair says, "I'm Hayner."
"I'm Matthew, let's have a good match." Matthew says as they get ready.
"Okay, if you all know who you're opponent is, then let the battles begin!" Xion shouts as everyone gets ready.
The first few matches are pretty uneventful, until Riku's match begins, the two men are standing opposite each other, and the referee walks forward.
"Okay, I want a good clean fight, no killing, no maiming, no death blows, broken bones are accepted, use any abilities you have, do you understand?" The referee asks.
"Yes." Both men answer at the same time.
"Well then, FIGHT!" The ref shouts as he runs out of the arena.
Both men circle each other, studying each other, looking for any signs of weakness, suddenly Tidus twitches, and Riku summons his sword and charges. Tidus smirked to himself, he knew that if he pretended to twitch Riku would start to attack, and so, it came as a shock to Riku when Tidus dodged the attack and managed to draw a three foot long black and gold sword from its sheath and slash at Riku. Unfortunately for him, though was the fact that Riku was way faster than he thought, and managed to bring his sword up to block the attack. Needless to say that Tidus was shocked.
"How the hell are you so fast!?" Tidus shouts as they continue to clash their blades in a flurry of sparks.
"It's simple, I've been training nonstop in the mountains to heighten my senses, and now it pays off." Riku states as he launches Tidus across the arena, effectively knocking him out, or, that's what Riku thought, because Tidus suddenly leaped up and launched a fire spell at him."How the hell did you not get beat by that?!" Riku shouts in surprise as he dodged the attack.
"I've been training at the sea, in the raging winds and waves I have strengthened my endurance until I have become the tough fighter you see before you." Tidus says as he charges again.
"Well then, I guess it's time to end this," Riku says as he is cloaked in a dark aura, "DARK FIRAGA!" Riku yells as he launches a pitch black ball of fire at Tidus, finally knocking him out.
"And the winner is Riku!" The Referee says as Tidus is pulled away from the arena.
"Damn he's powerful; I better hope I can beat him." Matthew says to himself after watching the match.
"We'll have a brief intermission and be right back." Xion says as everyone gets up.
MoC: That was good.
Xion: I liked it.
Vanitas: It was excellent.
Sora: It was awesome.
Riku: What about your other fanfic?
MoC: Eh, don't worry about it, I'll still have time for it, speaking of which, you guys should check it out. Until next time; Master of Chaos out.
Kairi: Review!
