XXXX Start XXXX
William Coleman, a 16 year old boy from the U.S, was currently bouncing on the balls of his feet impatiently waiting for the line to hurry up and move. Why was he in a line you may ask, well he was waiting for what all die-hard square-enix fans had been waiting for, for at least three years now, Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep which told the tale of the three keyblade wielders before Sora and his Crew.
He was holding his copy tight in his arms, a huge smile on his face when he was called up to the top of the line, buying his copy and running out of the store and into the lot at an incredible speed accidently barreling over his aunt on the way to the car, causing her to give him a frown.
He wasn't paying attention, his brown eyes were on the cover of the game it had a blue haired woman, about his age, maybe one or two years older, with her soulful blue eyes halfway closed and her hands clasped to her chest, she was wearing a black and blue, high-collared halter top, two pink, intersecting belts over her chest, and black shorts.
She was also wearing an odd silver badge; on her arms were white bell-sleeves and tan, fingerless gloves. She was also wearing a small, segmented piece of armor on each of her upper arms.
She seemed to be wearing what appeared to be black stockings or socks on her legs which reached to about halfway up her thighs, which left a small area of bare skin on her upper thighs.
The girl also bared two strips of blue cloth that draped over either side of her hips, along with a smaller, white strip of cloth tied around her waist, draped in the same manner. Finally, she wore pointed, armored, silver boots with a sharp "hook" on the outer side of each.
On her left was a boy who looked remarkably like Roxas, with his right arm stretched out and his palm in a grip like motion, as if grasping an invisible weapon, he was wearing a jacket that resembled fusion of Roxas's jacket (white on the right side) and Sora's jacket in Kingdom Hearts II (black on the left side).
The collar of the jacket was red and pleated, again, was similar to the collar on Roxas's own jacket.
Underneath this, he wore what appeared to be a grey vest with a single button and several white, angular patterns on it. He wore a third layer under this, in the form of a plain, high-necked, black shirt.
He also had a chunk of dull green and grey armor on his midsection that appeared to be under his vest, and another piece of armor on his left shoulder.
The boy's pants were also similar to the pants Roxas wore, though his ballooned outward slightly before closing up about halfway down his legs, similar to caprice pants.
Those pants were colored in shades of grey, black, and white. He also wears an ornate, dull green and grey piece of armor on his upper-left arm, along with a black and white checkered wristband that was, once again, strikingly similar to Roxas's, but with white edges as opposed to Roxas's black-edged wristband.
Like the girl he wore two criss-crossing straps on his chest, on which he wore a silver badge vaguely resembling the Heartless emblem or the Nobody emblem turned upside down.
His boots were rather odd when compared to the girl, as they resembled an armored version of normal street shoes in shades of dull green and grey.
And finally a tall young man with brown hair, blue eyes, and slightly tanned skin had his face in a sorrowful look, almost like he just committed a major mistake.
Like the other two he wore two intersecting straps over his chest, though his red ones were rather different, dropping much lower down and almost resembling criss-crossed suspenders.
Also unlike the girl and the younger boy he was not wearing his badge (which is gold as opposed to the others' silver) on these straps. Instead, he wore it on his belt.
He was wearing a skintight, black, high-collared shirt, showing that he was rather muscular. The mans pants bared a distinct feudal Japanese style; his belt was tied like an obi-sash and he wore Hakama.
His Hakama were dark grey near the top, with several loops for his belt and two buttons, both of which were undone.
The rest of the pants were tan with a small, lighter stripe of tan on the bottom hem. He also wore a plain black wristband on his right arm, while his left arm was significantly more armored.
Like the girl and teen, the man wore armor on one arm, with his bearing similarities to both of his companions.
His armor shared the large, ornate crest (colored gold) with the boy and the long, segmented section (each segment alternating between dark grey and dark red) with the girl, though his was much longer, reaching all the way to the bottom of his hand.
He also wore a black, fingerless glove on his hand and what appeared to be a black gauntlet on his forearm, over the segmented armor, which also had small pieces of dark red armor on it. Finally, his armored boots were a dark brown and gold.
William turned the games case over and read the description.
Everything is born from sleep…. Yes even you.
Join Aqua, Ventus, and Terra in the prologue for Square-Enix's hit Kingdom Hearts, team up with classic Disney heroes and fight the villains ,travel to new worlds and play the three separate stories of the three Keybladers as you uncover the mystery of Xehanort, his odd apprentice, and the mysterious new enemies the Unversed, in 45 hours+ of gameplay.
He was practically salivating as he finished reading, not knowing that his heart was slowly connecting to the universe of the game. As they pulled up to the parking lot of their home, William was barely listening as his Aunt said that she would be out a few hours with her friends and that she had left 15 dollars on the shelf for pizza.
He gave her a kiss on the forehead, thanked her for the game and unlocking the house door before grabbing his PSP and waving to his Aunt as she left the driveway, and popping the UMD into the disk drive.
He put the game on the counter as he went to the restroom, the link between his heart and the Universe unknowingly getting stronger as every second passed looking at his features in the mirror he, knew he wasn't super attractive, just as attractive as every other teenager who took care of themselves did.
His chocolate brown eyes, which often radiated childish mirth, were showing barely concealed excitement for playing his newest game, he had a buzz cut, preferring to keep his black hair in check, not liking the time it takes to take care of long hair.
He had feminine lips which were petal pink, often being teased about his feminine hands and Man curves never helped with his self esteem issues. He was also of African American decent as seen by his "Chocolate Skin" as his Nana often called it a few blemishes here and there.
He was wearing black pants that hung slightly off of his waist two grey belts that looped over his waist, a grey vest with six pockets on either side went over a white long sleeve shirt with two separate fingerless gloves both of which were, if you guessed it black and white on both hands and black and white sneakers.
As he left the bathroom, washing his hands before he left he picked up his silver rimmed seeing glasses, and walked back into the living room to get his game.
He picked up the PSP and plopped onto the living room couch, which had seen more than a bit of wear in the years his guardians had it. Staring at the screen in awe as dearly beloved began to play; he pressed X to begin a new game when he blacked out all of a sudden felling extremely tired.
'Falling….I'm falling?' William looked around in extreme confusion, it felt like he fell into a pool of water or jelly, suddenly feeling the urge to try and breathe he righted himself on his feet he did by flipping back, still with the feeling of water flowing over him and almost landing on his backside from lack of balance.
Shaking his head from this trippy dream he took a step forward, when countless doves sprung up and flew into the distance illuminating the platform he was on, it was the girl from earlier a earnest smile on her face as she help up what appeared to be three charms by the chain, one was green, the other was blue, and the last was red.
Around her were pictures of both boys, the younger with a spacey look on his face and the other with a serious expression.
Be ready young one
A grand adventure awaits.
Will turned his head sharply in confusion where had that voice come from, it sounded completely androgynous?
Keep your heart strong
Value your morals
You must never be swallowed by the Darkness
Or blinded by the light.
Will rubbed his temples in confusion, this sounded so much like Sora's awakening it wasn't even funny, what was he doing before he went to sleep anyways? 'All well' he thought 'better to go along with this…despite that creepy part'
Power sleeps within you
And only you can give it form
What do you choose?
Three pillars rose up in front of him; a sword was in the center, with a golden guard and an emblem of a familiar looking mouse on it.
The Shield was on the left Black with a red Mouse emblem on it, and finally the staff was on the right of the sword being black and white and having a Mickey emblem on it, split in half between the two colors.
Will shrugged before walking to the staff, he always liked the concept of magic anyways, he grasped it and it disappeared in a flash of grey light, it was kind of lukewarm, like the perfect draw of bath water.
Now what do you give up?
Will immediately picked the shield, he wasn't even good at defense whenever he played Kingdom Hearts, much preferred to attack enemies head on.
You have chosen, now it will be given form.
Let's learn a little more about you shall we?
A flash of light blinded Will for a second forcing him to cover his eyes for fear of growing blind rubbing his eyes to get the spots out.
After he blinked the remaining spots out he gasped in shock, now that character he had never seen before. It was a boy at least two to three years younger than him, he was a brunette and had hazel eyes he was wearing a short-sleeved, dark red jacket with a black undershirt.
Gray, fingerless gloves adorned his hands, and he also wore dark green pants which had unusually large pockets. And there were dark brown boots at his feet. He had a nervous smile on his face with his hand scratching the back of his head.
Now to those questions, what is most important to you?
Will thought about that one, what was most important to him, his eyes snapped open and he yelled out "My family and friends!"
Good, Good now which is more important, power or intelligence?
"That's obvious..." Will began with a cocky half smile on his face "Neither are more important, without intelligence power is useless, and even if you have all the intelligence in the world you would need strength to harness it!"
Once again a wise answer now here is your final question, what are you most afraid of?
Will's blood ran cold at that before his eye's hardened "Losing the people closest to me! Without them I'd be nothing but an empty husk of myself!!"
You have made the right choices the voice said your journey begins at midday keep a steady pace and all will be made clear to you. Now, your clothes aren't suitable for this journey, you can keep the gloves, vest and pants but the shirt and shoes have to go.
A flash of Polychromic light blinded Will for a second before he looked down at his clothes, they seemed a bit tougher and his pockets seemed bigger, there was a grey satchel on his hip for what he guessed was for items.
His white shirt was replaced with a shorter gray one with white straps that went from his shoulders to the opposite hip, and a bronze pin that looked like an upside down heartless symbol was placed on those straps.
His shoes had also been replaced with black boots that his pants were tucked into, he reached up to adjust his glasses to see if what he was seeing was right only to hit himself in the face. He scowled his glasses were gone, what was next his hair?
Just to see if he was wrong about his hair he reached up and touched his hair only to groan when he fount out his normally short, manageable hair was replaced with a mop of spiky hair, with two spikes pointing forward in a slanting motion and three going down to the nape of his neck.
He sighed in exasperation, before the voice came back.
Now in order for you to go on your adventure, you need to know how to fight, your weapon, the pickstaff is equilibrium, right in the middle between the keyblade, a weapon of light, and the lockshield, a weapon of darkness. Whereas the others are primarily for physical attacks, the pickstaff is known for its unsurpassed magical abilities.
Will tilted his head in confusion he knew about the keyblade, but never heard of the lockshield or this pickstaff he voiced his thoughts and the voice chuckled before continuing.
The reason you have never heard of these weapons is because there are only two in existence, the lockshield is owned by this boy here, he like you, is an interference, except he holds control over his darkness as you control your twilight.
You are a balanced being, one who isn't too happy yet won't his depression overwhelm him, being selfless yet selfish, prideful yet humble, and a perfect blend of positive and negative traits. Now in order to summon your weapon look deep into your heart and imagine pulling on an clothe.
Will did as he was told, held out his left hand and in a flash of lukewarm grey light he felt a weight settle in his hand. He observed the weapon, it was a stave about 36 inches long and segmented, one end was white with blue runic markings on one side, while the other was black with red runes.
The black side seemed to be more for offence, going by the sharp end that looked like it belonged on a javelin instead of a simple stave, while the white side seemed more for defense having more of a padded ending than anything, and in the center of the staff was a grey grip with a chain tied around it at the end of the chain was, once again the upside down heartless symbol.
Will gave a few test swings amazed at how light it was before going on guard when he felt something, he didn't know what it was but just being around it made him feel really irritated, quickly turning he paused when he saw it, it was blue and short with titans on its head and looked remarkably like a shadow (Unversed: Flood)
Quick don't pause and show no mercy….
Jumping back he panicked throwing the Staff at the Unversed impaling it and making it disappear in a flash of darkness.
Catching his breath, he groaned when more Floods began to come, the lukewarm feeling returned to his hand again, and he got into a stance that instinct told him to do.
He was holding the stave in a reverse grip so the white end was on his shoulder blade he lunged forward, going into a baseball slide and rolling when a Flood popped up from the floor. Quickly, once again following instinct, he yelled "Fire!" feeling something pass through him; he likened it to the feeling of warmth on a sunny day sending a small ball of flames at the unversed and vanquishing it.
Wills face broke out into a huge grin 'I just used magic!' He thought in barely suppressed glee before dashing forward to meet the flood that tried to ambush him, kicking off of the ground and going into a spin before letting go of the pickstaff, sending it into a propeller like motion, vanquishing three more Floods before pulling it back by the chain when he landed.
Dashing forward again he slashed horizontally as he ran by the unversed being sure to switch to the white side every so often to bash instead of slash.
Turning on his heel as he reached the end of the platform he gave a cocky grin, before it fell as he still had plenty more unversed to go, he tripped on his feet from exhaustion not so use to fighting that many enemies as the rest of the flood jumped at him he screamed in fear before everything froze and the Unversed vanished.
You did a good job, not as well as the original interference but still good enough, now Awaken!
There was a flash of Polychromic light before Will began to awaken.
And don't forget, The voice reminded That you have the ability to interfere!
As Will's vision came back into focus he blinked in confusion, above him was the blue haired girl, the kid who looked like Roxas, and the serious guy. "Do you think she's okay?"the boy asked, Will's eye twitched he didn't look that much like a girl did he?
"That's not a girl. Anyways hey are you okay?" The girl asked after scoffing at the boy before Will passed out again…..
TO BE CONTINUED
