Author's Notes: I don't own Kingdom Hearts nor its franchise - it belongs to Tetsuya Nomura! I only own my OCs!

Prologue - Video Games are so Cool!

"Come on, Izzy! You can do this!" A voice stated with confidence.

"Yea! Show that Heartless who is the boss!" Another voice agreed.

These two sentences of reassurance and good luck were directed at a young 15-year old female teenager currently playing on her PS3 with two close friends. She had long wavy waist-lenght black hair, pale skin and green eyes. Her clothes weren't anything special - an orange long-sleeved shirt underneath a white jacket, a pair of green shorts and white slip-on shoes. The only accessory was around her neck - a crown-shaped necklace.

She was getting closer and closer to defeating her current enemy. She was about to deliver the last of the final hits! She was-

"NOOOOOOO! DARN IT!" She yelled as fell to the floor and started pounding her fist into the carpet.

The young teenager was very close to defeating one of the bosses in her favorite game of all time - Kingdom Hearts. However, she had made the stupidest mistake of not using a Potion or the Cure spell to heal her playable character's wounds. He was on his last legs after all... If only she had cured him in time.

"MWHAHAHAHAHA! Oh, man! Izzy, you just got served real hard!" The first voice declared with a grin as she continued to laugh at the girl known as Izzy who was pounding her fist into the carpet.

The first voice belonged to another girl who looked like she was 17. She had brown eyes, pale skin and ginger hair. Unlike Izzy, she wore clothes that were suited for a summer day at the beach - a yellow tank-top with purple trips, a black wristband on her left arm, a pair of blue denim shorts and yellow sandals.

Izzy raised her head and glared at the girl who was sitting on the couch and laughing. "Shut it, Danni! It's not like you are being helpful or anything!" The girl known as Danni simply grinned and stuck her tongue out at Izzy.

"Sis, that wasn't a nice thing to do..." A third voice disagreed with Danni's method - it sounded small and innocent.

It belonged to a young boy of age 9 - he also had brown eyes, pale skin and ginger hair. He wore a simple orange tank-top, a pair of green shorts and black shoes.

"Ah, come on Micah... I didn't mean anything bad by it." Danni stated as sat next to the boy known as Micah and ruffled his hair.

Izzy looked at Danni as if she was crazy. "Nothing bad!? I lost the fight against the Parasite Cage and all you can do is tease me!?" She asked as she sat down on the couch.

Danni shrugged. "I don't know why you are complaining. You can just try again - maybe you'll have better luck this time?" She asked.

"Easy for you to say... you are a renowned video game champion after all." Izzy admitted.

Danni smirked. "Guilty as charged. I am the greatest video game player to grace this Earth." She stated with a proud look on her face.

Izzy rolled her eyes at Danni's childish declaration - despite being a good video game player and mentor to both Izzy and Micah, the ginger-haired girl would often act like an idiot sometimes...

It was an ordinary peaceful summer afternoon in Alabama, Orange Beach at the Garcia household. Isabella or Izzy as she was known thought it would be a good idea to invite her two good friends and siblings Danni and Micah to have some fun whilst their parents were at work...

One of the things that Izzy suggested they should do to pass the time and avoid going out into the hot summer weather was play one of her favorite video games of all times - Kingdom Hearts. Granted, the black-haired girl was also a fan of gaming frnachises like Assassin's Creed, Batman Arkham, Grand Theft Auto (GTA), etc... But Kingdom Hearts was her favorite game of all times.

The story of the game followed a young boy known as Sora who was the chosen wielder of the mysterious weapon known only as the Keyblade. What really made Izzy and her friends get into the game more personal was the crossover with the Disney franchise. Especially Sora travelling with the Disney mascots - Donald Duck and Goofy. The three had begun a journey to find King Mickey, two other people named Riku and Kairi and saved the worlds from darkness.

It was quite a fun experience that the 3 friends had whilst playing the first Kingdom Hearts - the travelling on a vessel known as the Gummi Ship, exploring the rest of the Disney worlds based on the movies, battling the villains and the Heartless. In fact, Izzy was the one who was mostly influenced by the game.

She started imagining herself appearing in the video game itself and assisting Sora in his quest - finding his friends and battling the Heartless. It was like the game had created a connection between her and the main protagonist. Izzy had even wished that her life was based like that of Sora's...

Unfortunately, she had to remind herself that the life she was living in right now was reality. There was no way that her dream could happen. It was impossible...

Speaking of reality, Danni was done acting like a child and turned to look at her younger brother and Izzy. "Say, guys... I was wondering if I could ask you both for a favor." She began.

Izzy and Micah turned to look at Danni with a curious expression on their faces - what did she want them to do as a favor exactly?

"Ummm... will it be... a problem if you two join me for a stargazing tonight?" She asked.

Danni's brother and Izzy were surprised at the request - not because it sounded weird, but because stargazing was a favorite thing that both the black-haired girl and Micah liked to do whenever an opportunity came.

"No... It's not a problem. But why do you want to go stargazing tonight?" Izzy asked.

Danni scratched the back of her head. "Well... I don't know why but... something tells me that tonight will be a very special one." She admitted.

A very special night? This was the first time that Danni said something strange...

"A very special night, big sis?" Micah asked.

Danni nodded. "Yea... but if you don't want to go stargazing, its fine. I won't hold it against you - promise." She reassured them with a smile.

"Well, why not? I could use a change from playing Kingdom Hearts - I'm all up for stargazing!" Izzy admitted with a grin.

"Could I come as well?" Micah asked.

"Sure, little bro. I'm taking care of you after all, Micah." Danni agreed with her little brother's request which made him clap in joy.

"So, it's decided - we are all going to do some stargazing tonight?" Izzy asked with both Danni and Micah nodding in agreement.

"Great! Luckily, our folks are going to work until the morning. We have the entire night all for ourselves it seems!" Izzy declared.

Danni nodded. "Yep. So, what do we do now?" She asked.

Izzy thought about what they should do next and then came up with the solution. "How about I attempt to defeat the Parasite Cage yet again?" She asked.

"Are you sure that you will win his time?" Danni asked with a playful grin.

"Hey! You keep quiet... I can do this." Izzy declared.

Danni giggled playful. "Whatever you say, Iz." She replied.

"We can't start the battle without getting some more snacks and drinks first." Micah added.

Izzy and Danni looked around and saw that Micah was right - their bowls were empty and their drinks were nearly depleted. It was time to restock.

"Good point, Micah. Let's restock our supplies before we get on with fighting the Parasite Cage." Izzy stated.

Danni got up from the couch. "You two can go and get the snacks and drinks ready. I gotta go and wash my hands..." The ginger-haired girl showed her hands which were dirty and stick.

"Alright, Danni. You have permission to go and wash them. Bathroom's upstairs - on the left." Izzy directed her friend.

Danni gave her a thumbs-up with a grin and left the living room.

"So, Micah - let's go and get the stuff ready." Izzy stated with a warm smile.

Micah nodded with an excited look and grabbed Izzy's hand. The two walked towards the kitchen to grab more snacks and drinks...

Meanwhile, upstairs in the Garcia household bathroom - Danni was washing her hands with soap along with her face to remove the stickness and dirt. As she was done, she wiped them in a cloth.

The ginger-haired girl stood quiet in front of the mirror for a few minutes and then closed her eyes. A purple aura surrounded her as she felt her heart beat faster. Soon, it was gone - but when she opened her eyes, they were no longer brown. Instead, they were golden-amber. A smile appeared on her face - but it wasn't a warm one. It was evil and malicious...

"Soon... I'll free myself and my friends from this prison. My beloved Isabella will belong to me and my little brother as well... we will be freed from this Earth." She spoke calm and collected. But this wasn't the ordinary Danni's voice - it was new and... evil.

Closing her eyes yet again, the purple aura returned for a few seconds and it was gone soon after. Her eyes returned their ordinary brown color... She pulled out a fake warm smile and left the bathroom...

Unbeknownst to anyone in the Garcia house, Danni's words were true. In the next few hours, Isabella Garcia would say goodbye to her home and Earth itself. It would also be the last time that the black-haired girl would see Danni and Micah for a while...

It was the beginning of a new adventure.
