Summary: A mysterious Dark power is rising. 3 are chosen to find a missing apprentice and help destroy the darkness before it is too late. Prequel to my recent fic, Reunion. Uses elements and characters from the upcoming KH game Birth by Sleep.
A/N: To those who haven't read Reunion, It doesn't really matter if you read this first or Reunion, it seems to me that it would make sense not to read Reunion first, so then when this is done and you have read this fic you can go and read Reunion and things will probably be more entertaining.
Also for those of you who enjoyed the pre- and post-chapter commentary by the various characters…I'm sorry to say that this won't be happening in this fic…I just can't find a way for it to work.
Disclaimer: I own nothing in this fic…except the fic itself. Also none of the info in this fic is to be considered actual information about the game Birth by Sleep; for I am bending the info we have already to my will (evil grin).
They say that a lot can happen in one year…well whoever said that wasn't kidding.
The universe as we knew it, was a lot different than it is now.
How you ask?
Simple…
This is a period where gummy ship travel was never more popular. Gummy ships could travel between several different worlds…worlds such as Spira, Midgar, Radiant Garden, and the famous Montressor Spaceport to name a few. However certain, less advanced worlds are forbidden by gummy ship travel.
One major aspect of the worlds is the inter-stellar corporation "Buy-n-Large," or BNL for short, a company that owns countless superstores across the universe.
What's more, they are experts at developing robotics technology.
Plus no one can get their commercial music out of their heads…
"Buy-n-large
Superstore
all you need
and so much more."
"Happiness
is what we sell
that's why everyone
loves B.N.L."
See what I mean?
But things aren't so mechanical and corporate in the rest of the known universe…
In fact magic and technology have been known to coexist with each other.
There also are legends; one of them is about a mysterious and powerful object called Kingdom Hearts…no one knows what or where it is. Some say that it is everlasting darkness, while others say its everlasting light.
Legend also speaks of a mysterious weapon called a Keyblade. Rumored to be a powerful sword capable of destroying users and beings of both light and darkness, though it is also said that the Keyblade is sentient and chooses it's wielder, however like the average person, it can sometimes make the wrong choice.
Another rumor says that the darkness is growing, as a herald of a great tragedy set to befall the worlds…however most people don't believe these rumors.
However little do people suspect that these rumors are going to have a more profound effect on them than they realize…
In an unknown location…
A mysterious figure in black robes walks through a long dark hallway, a light at the end of the tunnel, faint yet clear like a flickering candle against a marble floor lights the way. The figure enters the room the light is emanating from, revealing a dark chamber.
The figure stands tall, as another figure with two large horns and carrying a long staff, approaches from the other side.
"Excellent, you have arrived…" the hooded figure says calmly.
"What does the master ask of me?" a cold, dark, yet feminine voice replies.
"There are several things he asks of you…all of which you shall find as compensation unto itself." The hooded figure replied.
"Really…and what would they be?" she asks.
"One thing at a time Maleficent…" He responds.
"The time of technology draws to a close…first…we must deal with Spira." He adds.
"Then deal with Midgar." The figure said as Maleficent smiles with evil delight.
"Then destroy Montressor Spaceport, as an example of our power…and once everyone has realized that all hope is lost, we go after Kingdom Hearts and take it for our own." The figure finished as the woman arched an eyebrow.
"But Kingdom Hearts is a…" before she could finish the figure held out his hand and in the blink of an eye a black and red key shaped object appeared in it.
"So…the legends are true…the Keyblades DO exist." Maleficent said with a grin.
"Yes…and so is Kingdom Hearts." The figure adds.
"Then that means the worlds will soon be at OUR mercy." Maleficent said with a laugh that then grew into an evil cackle.
End Chapter 1.
