Kingdom Hearts: Saga of memories
Nothing like the Heartless or the Nobodies had ever threaten the world Sora and his friend existed in, and while minor evils did take place here and there, from time to time, they were always stomped down by the defenders of the righteous. But one can only stomp so much before one's boots wear out… They went back to their daily lives…as though their adventures never took place.
King Mickey ruled his magical Kingdom which was complied of many worlds, and even though the separate worlds had their own rules and their own laws, Mickey's word was taken by heart to the people; even the Gods of Olympia took into consideration. Even the Gods. The people looked to him as their balance and light in times of darkness. Now that the worlds were at peace once more, Mickey could spend time with his beloved Queen Minnie…
Donald Duck and his lady-in-waiting took some time off as well, choosing a sojourn in the sunnier side of the Caribbean. Now, one may ask 'why there?' but Donald was fairly sure he could handle any pirates if they got unruly. Though, another question could come to mind, like what would Mickey do without his head magician…? In this time of peace who needed a magician, was the answer. This meant many angry soldiers were grumbling and gripping at their dismissal. But their Captain wasn't bothered; rather, he was relieved at this. He, too, could now spend time with his son Max, only family. Maybe pick up a useful trade or two, like cooking.
And in Hallow Bastion…well, in Hallow Bastion there was peace, but it was a stiff kind of peace- The peace that war follows. Tension grew underneath the fine surface of this artificial peace, as Leon and his Crew made a fair attempt to keep order, but ever day darkness seemed to grow closer and stronger around them…hidden in the peace.
Oh, but what charming notion! All the worlds at peace! And it was all thanks to Sora and his friend. So peaceful…every afternoon Rikku, Kari, and Sora would lie on the beach and watch the sun set into a calm night, because everything was back to normal, and no one wondered what was out there again, because they already knew. Everything was back to normal.
[Multi-coloured Starbit sprinkle down from the heavens]
The night grows long
[People oo and ah at the sky. ]
As the heart grows cold
[The camera moves down to and over the shoulder shot. People are pointing up at the sky.]
And as we grow older and move a part
[A young girl pulls away from her mother to get a closer look.]
I always want to be in your heart
[Zooms in on her face. The Star bit explosion is reflected in her pink eyes.]
In your heart
[Zooms to the stars again]
In your heart
[They go out one by one. Silence]
[Silence]
[A harp is struck sharply, as a dark swirlly vortex appears. The sky begins to open slowly, the harp fades out. The hole is as big as it will get and a piano starts to be played…much like Nintendo 64 in the spooky mansion piano.]
A Kingdom, of you and me
[A massive King Boo struggles to pull himself out of the hole. He does, followed by many other smaller boo]
Can be all that we need, you see
[The vortex closes as the final boo flies out.]
Can you find, just one more time
[The stars reappear as the boos fill the sky]
With you and me
[Zooms back to over the shoulder shot, more people now. Their voices are now more panicked]
We'll make a Kingdom of our hearts
[A wide shot of the sky. All boos- stars no longer visible, no sky- just the endless amount of spooky spectres.]
You and me, a Kingdom
[King Boo lets out a boo-ish roar]
I'll be your King, and you'll be my Queen
[The boos spread out across the land]
We'll have a court of our memories
[Screams pierce the night time air as we zoom up to the sky once more]
Can you find it in your heart?
[zooms back to the sky again. The stars twinkle calmly as the sounds of chaos reach it]
[all is dark]
To fill in the moat, and let the bridge down
[King Boo slowly shrinks down to normal size, looking satisfied.]
I want to be in your heart
[focus suddenly behind him, as a tiny dark hole appears.]
The night grows long
[A surge of darkness flows out]
As the heart grows cold
[King Boo's evil laughter can be heard as the darkness spreads across this poor plagued place]
And as we grow older and move a part
[The darkness is see by a man in dreadlocks on a boat on a dark sea]
I always want to be in your heart
[It is seen by nocturnal hunters in the Pride Lands]
In your heart
[It is seen by people taking in clothes in an ever frozen Russia]
In your heart
[It is seen by a Mouse King as looks out on the night. 'Oh no' softly escapes his lips]
A Kingdom, of you and me
[It is seen and felt by all in the Kingdom…the darkness spreads]
Can be all that we need, you see
[Sora and his friends listen to waves wash in and out on the Beach, as the sun light tries to hold on]
Can you find, just one more time
[The darkness creeps in, causing Sora to make a noise of worry. The others notice]
With you and me
[He sits up all the way. The boy wears a worried look on his face.]
We'll make a Kingdom of our hearts
[Darkness swallows their sky]
You and me, a Kingdom
[All is dark and silent]
Just you and me, someday you will see!
That's really all we'll need
You and me, in our Kingdom of Hearts
Mario Manor was a massive unused building in the country, built on a narrow hill. It was so far out that Goombas didn't ever tread out here. The Mario Brother preferred to use their simple home in the farms of Mushroom Kingdom for every day uses. But the mansion, being so far out and so large, was perfect to rent for house parties. Today, however; it would have a more practical use for once.
A long yellow bus, with blue tinted windows, traveled up the twisted dirt road that led to the Manor. It drove slowly up to the front of the grand building, let out a puff of smoke from its exhaust pipe, and then shuttered to a halt.
The ride up to the Manor perfectly lovely during the day, but a man named Luigi Mario, who one on this particular bus, knew better. A shiver passed though this moustachioed plumber in his green overalls and a blue turtle neck as he jumped out of bus, laden with heavy flowery carpet bags. Even thought it was unused, it had so many memories- All of them unpleasant ones of Luigi having to save his big brother Mario from an evil horde of Boos and their wicked king, his archnemesis, King Boo.
A young lady jumped out after him. She had darker complexion then her pasty plumber friend, with her hair cut short and sporty, wide sparkling eyes, and dressed head to kicks as though to kick a soccer ball. She turned around to the bus driver, but before she could say anything, he shut the door with a snap and zoomed down in reverse, ignoring the road and getting close and personal with the lawn.
"Jerk…" The young lady named Daisy grumbled. Daisy wasn't just any young lady, she was a Princess.
A princess and a plumber, what a perfect combination.
She continued to grumble as Luigi walked past, her eyes following him…following him to the Manor.
"Luigi, this place is huge!" She exclaimed, yanking one of the bags from him, "Come on, you have got to show me around!"
She raced ahead of him, leaving Luigi standing there with a hand up and half a word formed in his mouth. With a heavy heart filled sigh, he followed after her, berating himself as he went. So he could take on mutant turtles, save an entire food based Kingdom, stop an evil wedding, and kick some major evil (and good) butt, but he couldn't talk to Daisy. She made him so nervous! He never knew what to say- why couldn't talk to her? Daisy was like a haunted mansion that made him blush! Oh, if only he could me more like his big brother Mario.
Luigi headed up the handsome stone steps, feeling pretty crummy. He hardly noticed when Daisy took the rest of the baggage from him, as he looked for his keys.
"I can't wait to see my room, Luigi," Daisy said, wearing a small smile as she watched her plumber pat himself down, worry drawn all over his face, "…is everything alright?"
"Um, yeah, it's-" Luigi stammered, pulling his pockets in and out, even checking his shoe. Where was that key?! He had it right in his right pocket, right where he left it! Oh, he could cry, he could cry, why did he ruin everything?! Now, Daisy would think he was a total loser, and never speak to him again-
"Are you coming?" Daisy had opened the door as he was putting himself down, "You must've pre-unlocked it. How clever, you must've known I woulda brought so much!"
She was already inside the main hall, her soft sole shoes squeaking against the magnificent tiles of the room. Daisy looked around in awe, like she had never seen anything so beautiful in all her life, which was silly, thought Luigi, because she woke up to herself everyday…! Why couldn't he say that to her face?
Blushing like mad, Luigi walk into his Manor, and practically falling over Daisy's luggage where she so courteously dropped right in front of the doorway. He didn't have the heart (or the spine) to ask her to move them, so he did it himself quickly. He shut the beautiful wooden doors, staring at the keyhole suspiciously. He hadn't pre-unlocked the door…and the only other person with a key was Mario, right?
"Oh…!" Daisy gasped, making Luigi jump. He whipped around, heart hammering in his chest. But she was alright, perfectly alright- in fact, she sat down one the bottom step of the grand stair case, admiring the floor, "Didn't you tell me that you picked out everything for it?"
"It?" Luigi questioned, rubbing the back of his head. Daisy patted the spot next to her. He gulped, walking (albeit a little stiff) over to her, and sat down, "O-oh, yeah, well, I helped…" Another gulp, "I, um, picked out the-the floor, at least."
There was a sly look on her face, as she tilted close to him. Luigi felt heat, blush if you will, creep up to his face.
"I noticed," She whispered. Half of him really hoped she wouldn't have noticed the sparkly daisies on the floor; the other half of him was jumping with joy. Luigi reeeeeeally wished his halves would make nice.
"You're such a sweetie," She said softly, "Lettin' me stay here while my castle is rebuilt and the best part is ('Was it getting hot in here?' Luigi thought panicked, 'When did she get so close?!') you and I will be here all alone, until its done."
Luigi couldn't help but face her, his own face burning. When did she get so close?! Her face was almost touching his, their lips almost meeting…This eager emotion ate up his fear like an antibody to a devastating disease, their lips a hairbreadths apart and-
"LUIGI!"
A voice that belonged to an old man yelled, causing Luigi and Daisy to jump, startled. The Princess was already up, fists clenched, ready to kick butt! A burglar or an acquaintance, it didn't matter, they were at the wrong time at the wrong place!
Luigi grabbed Daisy's aggressive arm without thinking, he dodged to the side as something heavy thudded down the ordinate stairs, ripping the fair carpet and chipping the maple steps. It came down with such a thunderous force, and speed, that it was airborn when it hit the last step, slamming itself into the Manor's fancy door.
"Oh my," The voice of the old man said, as he got off the chugging vacuum cleaner of doom. He was a short old man, with a single tufted of hair, thick lens glasses, and the traditional grab of a Professor, a Professor Elvin Gadd if you will. "Luigi, I'm so glad that you're here! We have an emergency, and I can't seem to open your safe-Woooah!"
The short scientist was holstered up by Daisy, blind female fury racing all though her body. Luigi was debating whether to let Daisy kill him or not, when the Poltergeist 3001 decided to explode in a cascade of flames.
"Listen you," Daisy snarled in disgust, "I don't know who the heck you are, but no one breaks up a k- catch fire to stuff, breaking in-"
Luigi dashed from where he had fell into the near by hall where the convenient extinguisher was, getting there just in time for the whole front door to be engulfed in flames. He clamped down on the silver handle, coating Daisy as she threatened the dangling Professor, the Professor, and everything in a three foot radius. The great force of the foam blaster sent him flying back like little boy with a bazooka cannon.
Daisy let out an uncharacteristically girly shrill as the frosty foam covered her near head to toe. The shriek knocked Luigi for six so bad, that the extinguisher slip from his be-gloved hands. It went flying though the air, spewing white foam like an indoor blizzard in his dazzling hall. It hit the floor with a thud, hissing as the last of its life drained from its cylindrical body.
"Um…" Luigi pulled himself up, completely mortified by what just happened. Nothing makes anyone look worse then- oy, then, "Momma Mai, Daisy put the Professor down!"
The not so fair Princess dropped the poor man, though with great reluctance. She folded her arms, looking at the Professor with such an intense hatred, like he was a bug she longed to squish-crush-squish. But the old man didn't appear to notice or be buffered by this, instead, he just bolted towards the plumber, who took a step back, almost falling on his butt, thanks to the slipperiness of the foam.
"We are in grave danger!" He announced, causing Luigi and Daisy to glace as each other skeptically. (Though on the inside, Luigi felt his insides shrivel. Grave danger was to him what out of spaghetti was to Mario) "You must come to my lab immediately! But first, you must find the Red Crystal that King Boo dropped from his crown."
"Why should we-" Daisy asked, 'tude to the max, but the Professor just gave a great guttering noise, before backing out. He mounted what was left of the Poltergeist 3001 and gave it a sharp kick. The pair watched in a mangled awe as he puttered out of the foamy room, through the still, slightly, slowly, burning door.
"Should we go…?" She turned to Luigi, her voice no longer angry, but confused. The tone of her voice made him blush. He nodded, Mmhmming. He decided! With Daisy by his side, and expected him to be a hero, be a hero he would be!
Luigi was out of the Manor before Daisy could even say another word.
