READ OR YOU WILL BE COMFUSED:
Ok, for everyone to know, this fanfic was created through the teamwork of two people! We thought it up, and decided to do it. A side note must be made though! There are three perspectives you will be seeing. Two of them are of our main characters, while the last is for any other characters. The first main character is the dual wielder, who is a character you will be meeting first. Through this perspective, you will see the story coming out the way she sees it. Whether it's any emotional feelings she's having, or even just thoughts. You will read things that are going on with her. Then, there is the unknown. This perspective is almost exactly like the first one. However, it's a lot more…. complicated I guess. This character goes through many hard times, and you will actually be seeing things threw the unknowns' eyes. Not only that, though. This is kind of like going through the story with Riku, except this character is a lot more defiant. The last perspective is mostly for the characters we have to play, but aren't main characters. A lot like Donald and Goofy, really. You're seeing things through the eyes of every other character in this. (Trust me, we're having a lot of fun with this part. It's a lot of fun. xD) Anyway, another note. This fanfic, after the prologue thing, starts off on Earth. So, most of the time, a few of the characters will already be able to predict who and what about everything. Oh, and before I forget, a couple characters you meet are children of the KH characters. You'll know. Also, before I forget, the bolded text is pretty much OOC. Decided to do it like this so you could actually read them…. Anyway, enough with the notes. Here's the fanfic we've worked so hard on:
The heartless moved closer to their victim as the young girl pulled out her keyblades. An unknown appeared to watch the battle hoping to see her have their heart stolen. But the girl did not lose. The moment the heartless leapt at her, she just smiled and, with a single swipe from the keyblades, demolished them. The unknown did not smile at this, and charged down with her dark keyblade. The girl immediately blocked this attack and the battle was on. The unknown used her dark keyblade as a gun, and shot large meteors at her. The battle continued, until both the duel wielder and the unknown were blue and purple. The unknown's boss was also watching this, and, to stop his employee from killing the keyblade master, turned them into spirits and sent them into the bodies of newborn babies. Nobody remembers the brave things that the duel wielder did, nor the notorious things the unknown did and, unfortunately, won't remember for a long time. For they are still asleep in there hosts, who don't realize their future.
14 Years Later
The smack of a ruler against a table jolted the young girl wide-awake. Slowly, she raised her head to find herself looking straight into her teacher, Mr. Sprige. Her heart sunk almost immediately when she saw his angry face, but she didn't look anywhere near phased on the outside. The young girl had mud-brown, chin length hair with rosy red tips, and sapphire blue eyes that resembled a mixture of Sora and Kairi themselves. She wore baggy, brown pants; a pearl white, sleeveless shirt with a hood; dark orange shoes; dark brown gloves; and a baggy white hat that was partially hanging off of her head. Three golden bracelets around her right arm chimed as they hung there with her whole wardrobe. However, the item that seemed the most interesting on her was a golden necklace that looks just like the one Sora wears in the video game.
"Hey teach," said one of her friends who sat behind her. Mr. Sprige turned from the young girl to her friend, "Yes David," said Mr. Sprige, now glaring at David. "You look kinda like the teletubbies when you stare at someone like that." The classroom was filled with whispers and giggles that, apparently, were about Mr. Sprige. David was about the same age and the girl, 14. He had brown hair, emerald green eyes, and tan skin. Aside from those things, he wore his dad's jacket, a dusty-white shirt, jet-black pants, a brown belt, and a necklace his dad gave him a while ago.
The young girl shook her head at David, 'I knew there was something wrong with him', she thought to herself. The girl yawned loudly, and looked around. It seemed like the day had barely gone anywhere, but after looking at the clock, it looked like it was almost over instead. She had fallen asleep during one of her classes, by the looks of it. After glancing back towards her teacher, she blinked.
Mr. Sprige glared back at David, "Watch your mouth, young man!" With that, he smacked the ruler against his table, making the girl jump once again, and walked back to his desk. David stuck out his tongue at Mr. Sprige, and then whispered to the girl. "The big fat meanie must've woken up at the wrong side of the coffin, Tainn." Then, an announcement was heard over the school intercom, "Mr. Sprige, you have an exchange student from Japan. Should I send her into your classroom?"
Tainn gave a coy smile, but didn't look back at David. Instead, she just watched as Mr. Sprige walked back to his desk. Finally, she reached down to grab something from her backpack, when the intercom suddenly came on and gave its message to her teacher. For a few seconds, everything was silent. Finally, the teacher nodded. "Yes, send the student in." There was a note of scorn in his voice, and it only made her snicker.
The door opened and in walked in Miss Swenson, along with what looked like a calm and collected, silver haired girl. Miss Swenson whispered something to the Mr. Sprige, and then left, leaving the silver haired girl behind. Now when the boys looked at her, they saw a super model in Goth clothes and a few cute girly accessories. The girls, however, saw nothing in her but a simple Goth. "Class, this is Rina. She'll be with us for a long while." Rina felt no butterflies in her stomach. In fact, no fear as she introduced herself too. "Hello my name is Rina. I'm from Japan, and I like foxes, Kingdom Hearts, and being gothic." She then picked up her schoolbooks and sat down next to David, who gave a whistle when she stopped to smile at him.
As Tainn sat back up, now holding a drawing pad in her hands, she glanced over at David. There was a bit of jealousy across her face, but she pushed it away by rolling her eyes. "Oh brother..." Then, after setting her book down on the desk, she finally glanced over at Rina. She gave a curt nod, but there was bitterness in her eyes as she stared at the girl. However, she hadn't looked her in the eyes until right afterwards. For a moment, time seemed to have stopped. In a way, it seemed as though the girl was very familiar to Tainn, though she hadn't seen her before.
Rina could tell the girl with the drawing pad was a bit jealous, but she ignored it. However, as she looked at the girl, she, all of a sudden, felt an urge to run over to her and try to kill her. 'Kill her now, while you have the chance,' said the voice in her head. 'Make me', taunted Rina to the voice. "Miss Rina would you tell us the answer to this problem," Mr. Sprige asked. Rina put her attention on the board, and then walked up to it. She pointed to the x's and y's, and found the answer in a millisecond. As she turned around to return to her seat, she noticed the look on the class's faces as she walked back to her seat. However, the only person she looked in the eye was the girl with the drawing board.
A shiver ran up Tainn's back when she realized Rina watching her. She couldn't help but notice how she was the only one Rina would pay attention to, and it bothered her greatly. However, being an awfully competitive girl at times, she still held her eyes towards the girl. Mr. Sprige was staring at Rina too, wondering how she solved it so quickly, though he shrugged it off quickly. "Smart little..." The last part of his sentence was mumbled so low that the class couldn't hear a word of it, though they all knew it had to have been something scornful.
Now that she had gotten a better look at her, and wasn't as mesmerized, Tainn finally got to seeing how this new kid looked. She had the same hair and eyes the character from a video game David seemed obsessed with. She had the same white skin too. The only real differences were that she wore a black cloth jacket, a black skull shirt, a ski cap, jeans, paopu fruit boots and a strange necklace that can't be taken off. With a shake of her head, Tainn turned her attention back to the lesson.
After school, Rina was bothered by a line of boys, including David, who followed her wherever she went. Rina soon lost them because of her maneuverability and her high jumps. Soon she was alone in an alley, until a voice came out of nowhere. "Hey babe, come here and give me a kiss," Rina heard all of a sudden. Ten tough looking teenagers, who looked sixteen, surrounded her. Rina shook her head. "No." "Well, that's not an option," said one of the boys. With that, they lunged at her. Jus then, a dark power emitted from her body and the boys were all shoved back to the alley, knocking them unconscious. Rina then realized she was no longer in control and soon fainted. The dark power slowly took shape and soon became an unknown. The unknown smiled and whistled to the heartless. All around, heartless appeared from the shadows of the alley. "Take their hearts and give them to my boss as a sign that T have returned and have found the keyblade master," said the unknown. The heartless obeyed and, in one quick moment, took the boys hearts. The boys transformed into heartless and, just when the heartless were about to leave, the unknown added, "And find the keyhole I believe it's in the child prison or 'school" as these creatures say." The heartless nodded and disappeared. The unknown walked over to Rina, picked her up, and warped to her exchange house.
Tainn sighed as she continued down her street alone. Nothing exciting ever seemed to happen. In fact, the only thing that was even remotely interesting was the exchange student, Rina. At the thought of her, another cold shiver ran up her back. At the same time, the same bitterness shot threw her eyes once again. David, who'd usually walked home with her, had decided to go with Rina. Which, in turn, annoyed her to no end. Though she never admitted it, he'd sort of offended her by saying he wouldn't go with her. In fact, this was one of the few times she had gone alone. Shaking her head, Tainn continued to look out in front of her. That's when she realized that the city street seemed practically empty, which started to make her worry. This had never happened before, at least, in this city. Something just didn't feel right.
"Tainn!" yelled David, as he walked down the street. With no reply, he shook his head and added quickly, "girls..." Just then, black creatures rose up from the street, and David swore under his breathe at the sight. The creatures started circling him, leapt high in the air, and were about to attack him when shots suddenly rang threw the air. The creatures stopped, and stared at the figures landing in front of David, who apparently was having a heart attack. Four more heartless appeared, and lunged at one of the figures, but the person cut the heartless with a staff, like it was a sword. The creatures stopped and fled, disappearing with the shadows of the building. " Hey kid," said the first figure, which was a boy. "You shouldn't play with heartless." "Yes," agreed the other, who was a girl. "The heartless are merciless." At the sight of the two figures, he suddenly thought of Tainn. 'What if those creatures try to catch Tainn,' thought David. He turned to the figures, then, grabbing each of their hands, ran straight towards Tainn's house. "So what are your names," asked David, who was running rapidly and dragging the figures along with him. "We're Aaron and Caren, son and daughter of Cloud and Arieth."
At first, David thought they were talking about the video game characters. They even looked remotely like the characters. Caren had wood-brown hair, forest green eyes, and resembled Arieth greatly. Her brother, on the other hand, had blonde hair, fierce blue eyes, and looked a lot like Cloud. However, the thoughts about this disappeared as quickly as they had come, and David went back to his goal.
Tainn sighed with relief when she finally came up to her house. Walking threw the city had really nerved her, though she didn't quite show it. After she had made it threw the empty streets, she had taken a few shortcuts threw some neighbors' backyards, until she finally ended up across the street from her own home. Now, standing there, she began to become edgy again. The same wrong feeling had come back, but this time she shrugged it off. The brown-haired girl walked up the stairs, and, dropping her backpack onto the ground, flopped onto her bed with her face on her pillow. Just then, an ice-cold chill ran straight up her back, and she looked up. There forming right in front of her was a strange, black creature. She would have screamed if she weren't in so much surprise. The only thing she could pull herself to do was scramble off of her bed. Tainn first intension, after seeing the creature's blank stare, was to run. However, something held her where she was. Time seemed to have stopped for the time being, until the heartless suddenly gave out a strange noise and leapt at the girl.
Tainn made a yipping sound, and pivoted back towards the stairs. When she looked down over the stairs, she gulped back down a scream at the sight of more of them. Then, almost immediately, she jumped into the air, over the group of heartless, and bolted out towards her backyard. Her dog, which was chained up outside, started barking loudly when she ran out with the heartless on her tail. She grew hesitant to leave the husky there to face his fate, but she ran past him nonetheless. With any luck, the heartless would stop and pay more attention to the dog, and leave her alone for the time being. To her disappointment, only a few of them fought with the dog. The rest went after her instead.
Crestfallen, Tainn hadn't noticed that she was about to run into the backyard fence. By the time she did, she had already crashed into it. Looking around frantically, she finally picked up a long stick when she found no other way out. Her first idea was to use it to jump over, but, when she saw the heartless getting closer, everything went black for a few seconds. When she finally came to it, the girl found herself standing with two broken sticks, and a bunch of heartless lying on the floor. She shook her head, still trying to figure out what happened, and picked up a different stick instead. With it, Tainn stuck it into the ground and flew over the fence just before the heartless could get back up. To her surprise, she could see David and two other people running towards her house. In fact, she was in so much surprise, she ended up with her face crashing into the ground.
Tainn pushed herself up, and shook her head. Dazed, she rubbed her head with her hand, still trying to recover from the fall. When she finally realized David standing in front of her, both a stubborn and annoyed look formed on her face. "What are you doing here? I thought you went home with-" She was cut off by the sudden scrapping of claws coming from the fence, and scrambled back to her feet when black shadows slithered from under her fence and formed in front of them. "Uh-oh... Time to go!" Turning, the brown-haired girl bolted down the sidewalk, grabbing David's hand in the process.
At almost the same time, Rina woke up, and just realized what just happened. "Your awake then," said a dark cloaked figure. Rina, realizing whom it was, lost her temper. "What did you do!" "Actually its what I'm doing," said the unknown "As we speak, the heartless are infesting this world, and taking as many hearts as they can. Unfortunately they have found the keyblade master, and, to make things juicier, they found the keyhole." Rina charged over, trying to tackle the unknown, but she simply turned to a small ball of smoke and entered into Rina's mouth. Rina fought for control of her body, but to no prevail. The unknown laughed, then, before disappearing, said, "And now to rid of the keyblade master."
The unknown, now in control of Rina's body, smiled as Tainn, David, Aaron, and Caren ran down the sidewalk toward where they were standing. Rina angrily yelled and swore in Japanese, kicking in her mind's prison as she tried to get back in control. Suddenly, she saw Tainn and the small group behind her. Rina felt a shiver run down her spine. "You see that girl in front of that group of children?" asked the unknown, "She has the keyblade master in her body, just as you have me. She doesn't realize it, which gives me the perfect opportunity to kill her while she doesn't know." Suddenly the unknown's eyes widened. She just remembered Caren and Aaron, which were the two who had killed her boyfriend. Rina stopped screaming and swearing, and said a silent pray to Buhdda that the unknown would not kill Tainn or David. Meanwhile, the heartless appeared in the school. They searched the entire building, but found nothing. Until one looked in the girls bathroom and in the toilet. The heartless entered into the toilet, which the keyhole was in.
Tainn continued running down the street, no longer holding onto David's hand. Suddenly, after looking back behind them, she came to an erupt halt. There weren't any more heartless chasing them, and it made Tainn suspicious. She muttered under her breath, just low enough for David to barely hear it. "I have a bad feeling about this..." After what had just happened, she wouldn't have been surprised if something even worse was going to. Looking around them, it all seemed to empty. So silent. Then, Tainn glanced up towards the building roofs. At first, she didn't see anything but statues. However, her eyes fell upon one that seemed taller than the others, almost as if human. The same feeling that led to blacking out suddenly came back, but she pushed the feeling away quickly.
Aaron, following Tainn's stare, looked at the tall figure and then remembered who it was. "Caren remember that unknown that we killed?" asked Aaron. Caren, who mimicked Aaron, slowly nodded her head. "And remember how the unknowns can call as many heartless as they want? Cause the last time we fought one, he called on his own teammates." Caren nodded, "Yeah, I bet the unknown remembers too." Aaron pulled out his Dark angel guns, "Then lets get 'im before he calls on his teammates." Caren, in agreement, pulled out her mother's staff. David, overhearing their talk, said, "Okay, you're getting a bit, how should I say it... weird." The unknown charged at the group, dodging the bullets that came from Aaron's guns. Caren, knowing what the unknown was about to do, leapt high in the air and slashed her staff, which turned into a large sword, only to get stabbed by the unknowns blocks and punches. Caren fell to the ground. Aaron, stiff from shock as he had watched his sister get massacred, screamed and started shooting at the unknown, who, in turn, reflected them right back. Aaron, covered in dark purple splotches, fell next to his sister. David looked at the twins, and felt like attacking himself, "Now, if I had a weapon or two, I'd show that unknown who's boss and impress that chic, Caren." A warm felling erupted in his right hand and on his hip. He got what he wished. A large sword shaped to resemble a gun appeared in his hand. On his hip Ninja stars appeared. He looked at his knew weapons with wonder. These were the weapons of his dead parents Leon and Yuffie. He looked up smiled, at the unknown, and attacked with meteorite bullets.
Tainn stood there, frozen in place by their conversation. In fact, it wasn't until the fight had begun that she moved at all. Immediately, she sidestepped out of the way of the fight as it came towards her. At the corner of her eye, she could see that David now had a weapon too. In a way, she wanted a weapon so she could help them, but she didn't want to get involved in this. There was something about this stranger that seemed familiar, but she couldn't quite put her finger on why. Finally, she began to remember the feeling of remembrance she'd had towards Rina. "Wait... but... It can't be..." She shook her head, now looking down towards the floor as she tried to remember.
The unknown and David fought one another. Then, the unknown, blocking off attacks as he did it, smiled as David wasted his energy, whereas the unknown still had a full load of energy. The unknown noticed Tainn looking at the ground. "Just can't remember, can she?" said the unknown. David was on his knees, panting his sword buried in the ground. The unknown walked towards David, who now was leaning on his sword for support. "An interesting fact about the death of your parents," said the unknown, "The way your parents were murdered by me and it was simple to." David, too weak to get up, suddenly gasped, "That was you!" The unknown ignored David, and turned to Tainn, hoping to rid her once and for all.
David found anger and hatred towards the unknown, and, without thinking, threw his Ninja stars at the unknown. The unknown, not realizing it, felt a sudden jolt of pain. She turned around and angrily shot fireballs at him. "If you hurt me, you're hurting Rina in the process," said the unknown in a cold tone of voice. David, now laying on the floor with new burn marks, said in his mind, 'You know, it s a lot easier in movies than in real life.' Aaron and Caren, both on the ground, said to each other, "Should we give it to her now?" The unknown was only one foot away from Tainn. "Yep." Caren and Aaron slowly got up, and threw two beams of light towards Tainn. "Call their names, keyblade master," yelled the twins.
When Tainn finally looked up, she jumped as she realized the unknown was so close, he could almost touch her. Taking a step back, she almost didn't hear the twins, let alone notice the lights coming towards her. In fact, she barely had time to realize the two lights had hit her hands and knocked her backwards. Luckily, she caught herself before she could fall over onto her back. Glancing down at her hands, she was surprised to see the lights flash and then disappear. At first, she was utterly surprised, but it passed quickly when she remembered the unknown in front of her, and what the twins had told her. Problem was, she had no idea who they were talking about. Of course, she had little time to think anyway. So, she just screamed out to the first names she could think of at the moment, which happened to be names she had no idea where they had come from. Almost immediately, the same lights appeared in her hands again, but this time they began to take form.
The unknown turned to look at the twins, then back at Tainn. The unknown's eyes widened as she watched Tainn's hands glow, and two keyblades begin to take form. Rina, who was also watching in her mind's prison, remembered the stories her father used to tell her during Jr. Kabuki lessons. The story of a boy who had a sword that was both a key and a weapon. How the boy lost his best friend to the darkness and how the other was left on their homeland.
Tainn's eyes were tightly closed by then, half blinded by the light now, but when she opened them it seemed as though everything was clouded. She'd thought that she would have jumped, but, instead, she seemed to still be holding still. Part of her was still in control of her body, but it seemed like there was someone else there now. When Tainn glanced down at her hands, there were now keys in them. At least, she thought they were keys. They seemed more like a cross between sword and key, really. Looking back up, she noticed the surprise on the unknown's face. Her first intension was to back away and hope the 'keys' helped to keep the person off of her. However, a voice suddenly rang out in her mind. 'Keep your ground. The keyblades won't ward her off forever.'
The unknown, in hatred, heard her nemesis as well and said, "You're right, it won't hold me off for long." The unknown stuck her hand in the air, and a dark flash was seen as a dark keyblade took form from the dark. The unknown smiled, pointed the keyblade at Tainn, and hurled it at her.
For a moment, Tainn could have sworn that she could see someone inside of her mind glaring at the unknown. Of course, that wouldn't surprise her. Everything that was happening was amazing and unusual. Just then, when the dark keyblade suddenly came flying towards her, she was just going to duck. Instead, her arms just flew into the air. The keyblades gripped the dark one, and, as she swung her arms over, thrust the keyblade to the floor.
The unknown looked at Tainn with a look of success. "Haven't changed a bit have you," said the unknown. The dark keyblade flew back in her hands, "I'm afraid I must be off now." With that, the unknown disappeared, stopping her control over Rina. Rina, weak from the struggle of gaining control, fell to the ground. Though, she was just about strong enough to chant a spell that her father taught her and in an instant Caren, Aaron, and David were cured. Rina then said, "The heartless have found the keyhole," With that said, she fainted.
Right when the unknown had stopped controlling Rina and had left, Tainn fell to her knees, half exhausted now that the other person who was controlling her had backed down to let her control her body completely. For a moment, she hadn't noticed Caren run towards her, but she noticed nonetheless. Then, half panting, she fell back into a sitting position. "Ok... Does someone want to tell me what's going on?" The keyblades were already gone from her hands, but she could feel them anyway.
David looked at his hands, then at the unconscious Rina. He ran over to see if she was all right, while Aaron looked at Rina, then at Tainn. Caren, noticing the shock on Tainn's face, rushed to help her and to explain what just happened. Caren put her arm on Tainn, "Yes, I'll explain." She paused, "A long time ago, there was a clash between a duel wielder and an unknown. The master of the unknown did not want his employee to destroy the duel wielder, wanting to fight him by himself, so he took their spirits when the unknown was just about to win. To make sure the two couldn't see one another, in case of another battle, he placed them into the children of the first keyblade master and the prince of darkness, "Caren looked at Rina, "You can easily tell who is the prince of darkness's kid, but you are the child of the keyblade master. Your dad knew our parents." She glanced over at David, "Our mom helped your dad as well as David's parents a little while before too."
Caren looked back at Tainn, "Aaron and I, well, our dad kinda joined the dark side when he lost our mom, but only so he could find her. Well, our old home was destroyed, but David's parents and yours found a home here and settled in. They didn't know what had become of Riku, so they never mentioned him to either of you. Well, I guess he never found you too. I'm guessing he found a wife and had a kid, Rina. So that's it," Finished Caren. She had been talking so much, though, that Tainn hardly knew what she was talking about. Suddenly, a violent trembling was heard and the earth broke apart. David and Aaron ran over to where Caren and Tainn were, while carrying Rina. The earth trembled, then spontaneously combusted. It split apart, leaving the five as the only survivors.
Tainn was now staring down at the floor, trying to take all of this in. Problem was, she was still trying to let the fact that she had someone inside of her to sink in. Suddenly, the world began to come apart. Tainn jumped straight back to her feet, but was still trembling very much as she did. She would have collapsed back down, if the person in here hadn't helped to hold her up. Suddenly, the world began to explode. Immediately, Tainn fell back down, landing with a loud lump. Looking up, she yelled out so the others could actually hear her, "Ok! Now what!" However, no one heard her. A bright light shrouded over them, and soon they all passed out.
End of Chapter 1
