The Keyblade Doctor
Chapter 1: The Dream

I've been having these weird thoughts lately, J.D. thought as he drifted to the depths of a dark ocean. About light, darkness, and even fate. These are weird things to think about, even for me. Still, I can't shake the fact that something is going to happen…something big…

He continued to drift downward, but then suddenly, he opened his eyes and found himself on an unfamiliar tropical island. He squinted and held his hand up to shield his eyes from the sunlight. He saw Turk standing in knee-high water, wearing his surgical scrubs. "Hey Turk!" J.D. called out as he began to run out to him. But then, he noticed that the tide was pulling in very fast. He looked up and saw that a tidal wave was heading for the island. Turk calmly turned around to face him, seemingly unaware of the imminent danger heading toward him. He held his hand out towards J.D., and he knew that Turk wanted him to grab it, despite the fact that he is about to be washed away by a tidal wave. J.D. began to run to take his hand, but the tidal wave came down and pulled the two of them under before he could reach him.

Under the water, J.D. struggled to see what was in front of him. He saw Turk slowly drifting away, seemingly oblivious to the fact that the two of them were underwater. He held his hand out to J.D., who struggled to grab it. He was pulled away by the current and brought to the surface. He looked around and found that he had appearing in waist-high water at dusk. "J.D.!" He looked out at the island and saw Elliot waving at him from the shore.

"Elliot!" He ran towards the shore and practically fell at Elliot's feet. "It's so good to see a familiar face."

"Wasn't Turk out here?" She asked.

"Yeah," He looked out at the ocean, "But he got…"

"J.D.?" Elliot interrupted, sounding shocked confused.

"What?" J.D. looked back at her and saw that she was looking up at the sky. He looked in the same direction and saw what seemed to be a meteor shower. But what shocked Elliot was that among the falling stars, J.D. himself was falling toward the ocean. Suddenly, he found himself falling as well, as if he had been the one falling from the sky. But he saw Elliot above him, reaching out to grab him, but she disappeared in an invisible ripple. After that, J.D. did not feel himself hit the water, he just found himself under the water. However, the more he drifted down, the easier he could breathe.

When he found he could breathe air, he forced himself onto his feet and softly landed on an invisible platform. There was blackness all around, the only light came from above from the "ocean's" surface. He took one step forward and a light emanated from beneath him. He looked down and used his arms to shield himself from the strong light. He noticed doves flying away, so he looked around and found that he was surrounding by flying doves. When there were no more doves flying from the floor he stared at the fleeting flock of birds. When they disappeared from view, J.D. noticed that the area around him was properly lit. He looked down at the ground and found that he was on a green circular surface. The surface depicted what J.D. recognized as Snow White. She was holding a bitten apple and she appeared to be sleeping.

Dive to the Heart... an omnipotent voice filled his head.

What? J.D. thought, turning around, searching for the source of the voice. He listened closely for the voice, but he only heard a distant unearthly-sounding music.

So much to do, so little time... another voice filled J.D.'s head. This time, it sounded young and human. He found it familiar, and somehow safe, so he decided to listen to it. Take your time. Don't be afraid.

"Afraid of what?" J.D. chuckled.

The door is still shut. Now, step forward. Can you do it? He walked toward the middle of the surface. Suddenly, to the right, left and in front of him, three trapezoid stones emerged from the floor. Power sleeps within you. A red and black shield with a Mickey Mouse symbol appeared on the stone to the right of him. If you give it form… A green staff with a blue, Mickey Mouse-shaped crystal atop it appeared on the stone to the left. It will give you strength. A sword with a golden hilt with a black and red Mickey Mouse symbol on it appeared on the last stone. Choose well.

"What am I choosing?" J.D. wondered. When he heard to answer, he approached the stone with the shield on it. He took the shield off the stone and put it on his arm.

The power of the guardian. Kindness to aid friends. A shield to repel all. Is this the power you seek?

He adjusted the shield on his arm, "Sure, why not?" Then, much to his annoyance, the shield disappeared off his arm, "Hey!"

Your path is set. Now, what will you give up in exchange?

J.D. looked at the other two stones. What do I want to give up? He thought, I wanna use magic, so I guess I'll give up the sword. He walked over to the stone with the sword and picked the sword up.

The power of the warrior. Invincible courage. A sword of terrible destruction. You give up this power?

As J.D. examined the sword, he began to feel something. Wait, this doesn't feel like my power…it feels like someone else's… He examined the sword, he felt like it was something he did not like very much, despite the fact that this was the first time he was seeing this sword. "I'll give this up." The sword disappeared from his hands.

You've chosen the power of the guardian. You've given up the power of the warrior. Is this the path you choose?

"Yeah." Once he said that, the stones retracted back into the floor. Then, the floor beneath him shattered, sending him falling head first into the abyss below.

As J.D. fell, he saw another surface that appeared violet from a distance. As he drew closer, he saw another Disney princess depicted on the surface, Cinderella, in her white ballroom gown with her eyes closed. He forced himself onto his feet and land softly on the surface. The shield he chose appeared on his arm. You've gained the power to fight.

"Fight?" J.D. questioned, confused. He looked at the shield on his arm, "With this?"

Yes.

"I can't switch for the staff, can I?"

No.

"That figures," he sighed in defeat. He swung the shield around like a weapon and quickly got the hang of attacking.

All right! You've got it. Use this power to protect yourself and others. J.D. nodded. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a shadow of a small creature on the floor. There will be times you have to fight. When he heard this, J.D. readied himself for battle. More of these shadow appeared. Keep your light burning strong. The shadows became three dimensional and pounced at J.D., who bashed each one away with his shield. When there was one shadow left, a black void appeared below it, sucking it in.

"What?" J.D. looked around and saw that the ground was disappearing into the black void. He felt his knees buckle and saw that he too was being sucked into the void. He tried moving out of it but it was no avail, he was quickly overcome by the darkness.

He kept struggling until he realized that the darkness was gone and that he was on another surface, a pink one this time, with three unfamiliar silhouettes. J.D. got up and saw a door on the other side of the surface. When he approached the door he found it was ethereal and that it could not be opened. "If I can't touch it," he mused, "How can I open it?" Once he said this, he heard something magically appear behind him. He turned around and saw a red treasure chest. He kicked it open and the sound of something appearing was made, but nothing was there. J.D. turned his attention back to the door and found that it was now solid. He pulled it open and was greeted by an engulfing light.

When the light faded, he found himself on yet another circular surface. This time, it was an orange color and depicted Sleeping Beauty, holding a rose and, of course, sleeping. For the first time, J.D. noticed that the music had been getting louder and more ominous from when he was on the Snow White surface. He was snapped out of his thoughts when a group of the shadow creatures appeared once again. He quickly bashed each one with his shield until they were no more. He was rewarded with a small green light on the floor encircled by a mystical green fire. J.D. hesitantly approached it, but when his entire body was in the circle, he felt his fatigue train away and his energy return to him. "Wow," he said, speechless. The green fire died down and the light traveled off the edge of the surface, creating a staircase to a large pillar with yellow stained glass windows on the sides.

After taking a moment to make sure the stairs were safe, J.D. proceeded up them. The top of the pillar turned out to be similar to the surfaces he had previously been on. This time, it was a yellow surface depicting Belle and the Beast from the Disney film Beauty and the Beast. Belle's eyes were closed, like the other Disney princesses, but the Beast's eyes were open. In the center of the pillar, a soft light beamed down.

The closer you get to light, the greater your shadow becomes. The voice told him as he approached the light.

"My shadow…?" J.D. turned around to see his shadow, something about it struck him as unnatural. Then, to his horror, the shadow lifted itself up from the floor and began to grow and become twisted. He stood there, paralyzed as he witnessed this transformation. The result of the transformation was a black humanoid creature with short legs that curl upward and massive arms with clawed hands. Its face was covered with black tentacles, showing only two small glowing yellow eyes. It also had two small (compared to the giant creature itself) wings on its back. But the feature that stood out the most to J.D. was the huge heart-shaped hole in it abdomen.

But don't be afraid.

"A giant black monster is definitely something to be afraid of!" J.D. shouted at the voice.

You hold the mightiest weapon of all.

He looked at the shield on his arm, "I'm supposed to fight that with this?" He began to back away from the creature, but tripped and fell on his backside. When he tried to get up he found that he was being engulfed by darkness once again. This time, however, it felt hostile, as if it was trying to kill him. The darkness began immobilizing him, beginning with his legs. "This isn't happening…" J.D. told himself.

So don't forget:

The darkness was at his stomach now and beginning to spread to his arms. "I'm dreaming," J.D. decided, "I need to wake up." He looked above him, "Turk! Wake me up!" The black creature approached him. "Carla! Dr. Cox! Anyone!" The darkness was beginning to spread to his face. "Elliot…!" He was unable to speak or even breath.

You are the one who will open the door. The last thing J.D. saw was the creature's glowing yellow eyes.

J.D. awoke in his apartment with a start, he gasped for air and checked his body. He okay, everything was normal, he was safe. "What kind of dream was that?"
