-Danny's POV-
It all began after Phantom ended. After the ghost era. After I left the place that I had once called my home. I had been laying in the alleyway of a strange town, one called Twilight town. It was quiet and nearly empty, the most action coming from a fighting tournament called 'Struggle', one I would have participated in had it not been for my obvious lack of knowledge about it, and my advantage over nearly everyone there.
My life, up until that brown haired boy, had been more peaceful than it had been in years.
The boy had appeared one day, bringing with him strange creatures, Which I have learned are called 'Nobody's' and 'Heartless'
I had met him at one of the many Struggle tournaments I watched, He had appeared new, and the duck and dog-like creatures that he was traveling with made him stand out all-the-further. Being the nice guy I am, I introduced myself. The brown-haired boy had introduced himself as 'Sora', not mentioning any last name. He, afterwards, introduced his friends as 'Donald' and 'Goofy'.
It was once we had all gathered with one another at the Sandlot, Site of the Struggle tournament, that everything turned around. I had, at first, been alone, contemplating possible last names for Sora, when a group of small, shadowy black creatures phased up from the ground. They hobbled toward me, and, despite my urge to fight them, I could not move. I could hear voices, their voices, whispering in my head, telling me to give them my heart.
Quicker then the creatures had appeared, I jumped up, transforming into Phantom and floating into the air. The creatures screamed in anger, despite their lack of mouths. I had broken free of their hypnotizing stare, and they had lost a heart.
I had just finished destroying half of the creatures, Heartless, when Sora ran into the Sandlot. He stared at me, And me at him. After several minutes of staring at each other, I felt the penetrating glare of a powerful dark creature. Yet, when I looked around, nothing was there.
"Danny?" I heard Sora say. I continued to stare at Sora. Should I simply fly away? Tell him I'm half ghost? Or should I deny I'm Danny? I sighed, landing in front of the curious-looking Sora.
"Yeah. Guess I should know better than to hide myself after what happened back in Amity." I looked at Sora. He was looking past me, at something that seemed to be behind me. I turned around to see a shadowy, tentacled monter. It looked like a mixture of Undergrowth, and some alien creature from a poorly funded horror film. It's skin -could I even call it that?- and vine-like hair was a sort of deep teal color, it's eyes a pale yellow, matching the heartless's. It had a muscled body, and claws adorned its fingers where nails should have been. A scarf-like object, the exact color of its skin, was wrapped around the lower half of its face, covering any possible mouth.
It seemed to hover on the ground, as when it stood still, only the tips of its feet touched the ground.
I hovered silently, charging my hands up with ectoplasmic blasts, while Sora summoned his famous keyblade. The creature seemed to be uninterested in the keybearer, and created a strange force-feild around him. It then turned to me, and spoke in a gravelly tone that was hard, yet, at the same time, easy to decipher.
"You are not a keybearer, yet you hold the aura of a key. Darkness consumes your heart, yet it is filled with light. Could you be the legendary 'keyblade trapped in human form'? It would be a terribly ironic pairing, it would. The Door to light and the Destinys Balance, both trapped in human form, both fighting alongside one another, even though they were both enemys in the life now past. I wonder if Balance knows where Corruption lies...?" It said.
"Destinys Balance? What are you talking about? My name is Danny Fenton. And what do you mean, 'where corruption lies'?" I said, growling slightly when the creature chuckled at me.
"It seems Balance has not yet recovered its true memories, nor, its keychain. Oh, well." It leaned toward me, and as I was about to shoot my fully charged ecto-beams at it, I found myself unable to move. "Just beware of when the keybearer trys to use your keychain. You will lose your current life. You would do well to deflect away from him. My offer remains open. Simply speak my name once you have decided. I am Mendirax." I felt both comfort and fear rush through me at the sound of his name.
Before the creature, Mendirax, could leave, I yelled a question out to it.
"What offer?" I watched as Mendirax turned to me again, a smile on its face.
"Good boy. I was hoping you would ask. After all, why would you join us if you didn't know what it was you were joining, hmm?" I sighed.
"Can you get to the point?"
"Yes, yes. You see, I want you to join Organization Thirteen." I turned to Sora, hearing muffled complaints as he pounded on the walls of the force feild detaining him. He was shaking his head back and forth while mouthing 'No', and looked both scared and determined. I turned back to Mendirax. I had half a mind to accept the offer, just to see what the Organization was, but the other half of my mind told me to decline. I was standing on the fence.
"What does Org. thirteen do?"I asked. Mendirax chuckled, and muttered to himself in a language I didn't recognise, quickly speaking up again.
"Org. Thirteen is a group of people that seek to discover the mysteries that lie within the heart. They are nothing you need fear, Balance."
I sat on the ground. So... This organization wanted nothing more than to learn about the heart? I myself wanted to learn more about the 'mysterys of the heart', as in this world, the heart seemed to hold some sort of higher importance. I knew about Heartless, and that if they took your heart you would turn into one. Nobodies were confusing, and much smarter, I knew, than Heartless, so I simply blasted them when I saw them.
I took a look at Sora, and saw he had his hands pressed against the glowing, blue tinted walls of his prison. He was staring at me, desperation in his eyes. He, for some reason, didn't seem to like the idea of me joining this group of people. Why though? From what I could understand, they simply wanted to learn. They sounded like scientists to me. Though their name was a little strange, I admited that.
I stood back up, my answer not actually decided, as the hero part of me said to attack, then save Sora. It said that something about Mendirax was bad.
"Fine. I'll go. But I'm liable to up and leave if I don't like it." Dispite the fact that I might turn on the Organization, Mendirax grinned. Or at least, what I suspect was grinning. He could have been scowling. I couldn't really tell with that scarf thing on his face.
"Good, Good... Come with me, Balance" Mendirax said. However, I didn't move.
"I'm not going anywhere until you tell me why you keep calling me Balance." Mendirax walked over to me, and spoke in an amused tone.
"I will tell you all you wish to know once we get to The World That Never Was. It is the home of Organization Thirteen." Mendirax turned again, and raised a hand, opening a shadowy black portal a little ways away from them.
I turned back to Sora, deciding taking a look at him before I followed Mendirax though the portal. Sora was sitting in a sort of kneeling position, and his fists were pressed against the walls of his blue tinted prison. His hair partially covered his face, a shadow covering his eyes. He was grimacing slighty, and looked beaten. Part of me wanted to run to him, and try to make him laugh. I felt horrible leaving him like I was.
"Hey, Mendirax... Can you release Sora? He's a friend..." I asked, taking a quick glance at the shadowy green creature before turning back to Sora.
Sora was staring at me. I could read the look in his eyes perfectly. He couldn't figure out what to do. He was, probably for the first time in quite a while, confused about what to do. The blue force field lowered, but Sora made no attempt at moving. He just kept staring at me. He mouthed a sentance, or maybe had spoken it, just softly. But I knew what he had said.
"Why? Why are you going with the Heartless?" Heartless? Mendirax... was a Heartless? I turned to the almost-but-not-quite-floating creature. He didn't look like a heartless... Heartless looked like some sort of freaky ant with only two sets of limbs. And, I remembered, Heartless were nowere near as smart and self aware as Mendirax was.
I sighed, and turned from Sora to Mendirax. I would return to Sora later. Right now though, I had to meet this organization, and learn about why Mendirax had dubbed me 'Balance'
"Probably has something to do with the fact that I'm half ghost." I muttered to myself, as the shadowy portals infinite darkness engulfed us, transporting us both to this 'world that never was'.
One thought ran through my mind as I looked at Sora though the tiny, and rapidly closing hole in the shadows.
Had I done the right thing?
