In the midst of total Darkness a boy with spikey black hair with dark red tips wearing a black sleevless jacket and black jeans with matching boots floated in nothingness as that's all the boy seemed to see in his life, that is if he could remember anything for you see this boy is the victim of a brutal battle only ending in death and destruction. Fortunately for him he was able to escape this madness but at the cost of his memory.
"What do you think we should do with him." Asked a male voice that sounded so distant yet so close.
"Ven go and get the master for this something doesn't feel right about him." Said a female voice growing closer and closer as if drawing the boy in when he heard a voice so familiar yet not.
"It's time for you to wake up now and face the world once more…. Ren." The boy's eyes shot wide open as he sat up quickly breathing heavily quickly scanning his surroundings until he came upon two people, a boy with spiky brown hair and blue eyes wearing a light grey sleeveless top with a metal armband of some sort on his right arm and light brown pants stopping just above his ankles. Then there was the girl which made the boy blush a bit in embarrassment for her beauty for she had dark blue hair matching her dazzling blue eyes, she wore a dark sleeveless top that had pink straps running across a strange symbol on her chest and had white sleeves starting at her elbows and going slightly past her wrists as well as black leggings stopping just above her thighs giving a slight show of skin before the rest was covered by black stockings the rest of the way down her legs. Yet they seemed to be on guard with these strange weapons drawn which almost looked like… Key's? With that a sharp pain hit his head as he accidentally summoned his own blade startling the other two
"Stay back Aqua! He's clearly dangerous as I suspected." The boy said as he put a defensive arm in front of the girl bringing his weapon up closer as if he could strike at any moment. The boy got up from this action readying his blade as well as he held it up closer to his face giving him a closer look at it for it was all black minus the purple gem just above the hilt and a single word ran through his mind… "Oblivion"
"Terra stop I think we just startled him." The girl said as she made her blade disappear before lowering the boys with his hand slowly then taking a few steps forward giving a warm smile. "I'm sorry if we startled you my name is Aqua and this is Terra could you tell me yours?" Hesitating a little the boy lowered his blade opening his mouth to speak when a loud voice boomed from the other end of the courtyard.
"What is the meaning of this." The boy turned to see a tall man with slightly grey hair that was pulled up into a ponytail wearing a white robe over his dark blue armor which bore the same symbol as the girls and the boys who are now known as Terra and Aqua. He quickly glazed over the boy before his eyes widened in surprise. "No it can't be after all this time?" He said almost in a whisper as he walked closer to the boy who backed up still startled until something struck in his brain causing him to drop to the ground clutching it in pain before passing out. The older man ran over to him just as he hit the ground picking the boy up. "Terra, Aqua come we must take him to the healing chambers immediately!" The two nodded their head as they followed the man into the building behind them taking a series of turns until they came to an all white room with a strange chamber in the middle as the man placed the boy inside pushing a few buttons until the boy seemed to float mid air.
"Master Eraqus what exactly is happening?" Terra asked both confused and concerned. "Do you know who that boy is?" Eraqus said nothing for a few moments until he sighed deeply turning to face the two.
"Go and get Ventus from his chambers and bring him to my study I will explain everything there." They nodded running off to find their third friend while Eraqus took on last glance at the sleeping boy 'What has happened to you my friend' he thought to himself before walking back to the top of his tower when Terra and Aqua stood outside his doors along with a younger boy with spiky light brown hair that seemed to defy the laws of physics as well as a half cream half black short sleeve jacket matching his two toned pants as well and black shoes. "Good you're all here come and sit." Eraqus said as he took his chair behind his desk while the other three pulled their own chairs up in front of him.
"So master do you know who that boy is and what's wrong with him he seemed lost?" Aqua asked voice full of concern for she never saw anything like this before. Eraqus leaned forward on his desk seeming troubled as a million things raced in his own mind.
"His name is Ren and he was a friend of mine while I was training to become a Keyblade Master just as you are all doing now, but something happened all those years ago and he disappeared from this world… until now." They looked at their master in shock for Ren didn't seem to be the age master seems to be speaking of.
"But Master he looks to be our age so how could he be someone from your past?" Terra asked the question that seemed to be in the others minds as they both nodded in acceptance. Eraqus sighed before getting up to gaze out his window.
"I am not sure I can answer that but I can tell you of the events leading up to his disappearance." He said as he reached down to grab an old picture of him and Ren along with another boy with dark skin and snow white hair. "Probably around forty years ago he left the Land of Departure to search for his master who said she found something leading to the darkness that could potentially destroy all the light something that hasn't happened since the Keyblade war all those years ago, that was the last we saw of him and his master and we have no idea where he disappeared to."
"The Realm of Darkness." Everyone in the room quickly turned their heads to see Ren leaning against the door still clutching his head but looking as if he was in far less pain then what he was experiencing before. "That's where I've been all this time, I apologize for earlier my memory is still fuzzy but I can feel it start to come back to me with what you have been saying Eraqus I can finish the story from here now." He hobbled into the room and was met halfway by Terra who helped guide him to on of the chairs in the room before returning to his own. "It's just as you said my Master Hikari left in search of something dark and sinister and she feared it could end up destroying the Realms of Light, but something happened while she was gone so I ran after her and ended up finding what she was looking for…. As well as what was left of my master." He looked down clasping his hands together clenching them tightly. "I chased the beast into the Realm of Darkness where I ended up losing myself to it until something brought me here yet I can't remember what." He then slumped down putting his face in his hands in frustration and found a comforting hand on his shoulder by Aqua.
"I'm so sorry you had to experience something like that but you're safe now and maybe we can help you restore your memory somehow." Ren looked back up to her smiling softly.
"Thank you and if it truly is alright please allow me to stay here until I'm ready." He looked at Eraqus since he was the master of this world. Eraqus just nodded smiling softly.
"Of course old friend besides Terra and Aqua here are preparing for their Mark of Mastery Exam and I feel they could use some help from another master." He said with a wink getting multiple gasps from the other three Keyblade wielders and Rens head made another clicking noise as more memories returned.
"Oh yea I remember now I was appointed master just before I left for the Realm of Darkness." He laughed to himself before standing up to face the other three. "Well then if what Eraqus said is true then starting tomorrow I will help train you all for your Mark of Mastery but first a proper introduction is required, my name is Ren sorry about earlier but please take good care of me." He said with a small bow.
"My name is Terra it's an honor to meet you Master Ren." He said with a small bow as well.
"My name is Aqua and I will be in your care from now on Ren." She said with a warm smile causing Ren to blush a bit.
"And I'm Ventus but you can just call me Ven for short and I'm too young for the Masteries Exam but please train me to the best of my abilities." He smiled widely almost resembling a young kid yet something also seemed off about him for Ren could feel no Darkness around the boy, he quickly shook that off before smiling back at them all.
"Well then get some rest because I won't be going easy on any of you because I will make you the greatest masters anyone has ever seen"
A/N: Welcome to my first story on this sight. I've been working on this for some time now and have posted in on a few other sights and thought I'd give this one a try so I hope you all like it and I do not own Kingdom Hearts or any of it's characters except for my own which we'll get to in future Chapters. But without further Delay here's the first three chapters to my story!
