The Prologue
Our story begins on a stormy day, rain dropping down like bullets constantly being shot from the sky. A streak of lightning is seen streaking across the sky, shortly accompanied by the roaring thunder. We descend into a small house, white in color with a black tile roof.
"You're doing what?" Asked a voice, sounding masculine but also full of youth.
"You heard me." Said another voice, feminine and also young. "I need to leave, I have to leave."
Inside the house, we see a couple of young men and women. The first young man is seen wearing a red cap, underneath the cap is short black hair. He is wearing a red T-shirt, and black bracelets around his wrists. He has long blue denim pants, and wearing red and white shoes. His eyes are red in color.
The first young woman we see has long blond hair, with a ponytail in the back. She is wearing some sort of yellow dress, with a black undershirt. She too is wearing blue denim pants with purple boots, her eyes yellow in color.
The second young man has spiked brown hair, currently wearing a black shirt and around his wrists are purple wristbands. His eyes are green in color, and he is wearing a pair of purple pants.
The second young woman is seen with a white hat with a red outline forming an arc in front. She is wearing a blue shirt, with a red skirt. She is seen wearing sandals, and her eyes are blue in color, with long brown hair in the back. The second young woman proceeds to speak.
"Yellow, you don't have to do this." She proceeds to say. "All those things you're feeling guilty about, it wasn't even your fault to begin with."
"Blue is right, Yellow." Said the first young man. "All of that is in the past. Anybody who you think can exploit that darkness you're worrying so much about is gone."
"It's not that I'm worried about the darkness in my heart being exploited, Red." Said the first young woman, called Yellow. "Every night, it's the same terrible nightmare over and over again, and I worry that if I don't do anything about it, that darkness is only going to take me over."
"Yellow, you know that if something like that were to happen, we'd take care of it." Said the second young man.
"Green is right, we'd never let something like that happen to you." Said Blue.
"I know you wouldn't, but sometimes even the best precautions fail." Said Yellow.
Lightning streaks across the sky again, shortly accompanied by the thunder's roar. In the flash we see an image of another young woman that looks like she could be Yellow's twin. Only her eyes are red in color, and her hair long and raven black. She is wearing a long black dress, with a slit on each side. The sleeve and chest portions are organdy, and on her wrists are sleeve cuffs adorned in onyx. On her ears are earrings adorned with a type of purple crystal. In her mouth is a set of razor sharp teeth, and she is seen giving everyone a maniacal looking smile. The image of the young woman proceeds to disappear when the lightning flash fades.
"Yellow..." Said the first young man.
Yellow then proceeds to turn around, and gives the first young man a smile. She then runs over to him and hugs him, the young man returning the hug. "Yellow, please don't go."
"As much as I want to stay with you guys, this is something I need to take care of." Said Yellow, tears now streaking down her face. She then proceeds to break the hug, and approaches a small closet. She opens the closet and pulls out what appears to be a brown hooded robe.
"Yellow." Called out Green. "Are absolutely sure this is something you have to do? We can help you, we can get you through this."
"Thank you for the offer Green, but this is something that I have to do alone." Said Yellow. She then proceeds to pull the hood over her head. "Good bye you three. I hope that next time I see you, the darkness within me will be extinguished."
She then proceeds to walk out the front door, and into the storm. The first young man proceeds to run out.
"Red, where are you going!?" Asked Blue.
Red then proceeds to run out the door, and Yellow is seen walking away slowly. He immediately rushes towards her.
"Yellow! Wait, please!" He calls out to her. A large gust of wind proceeds to blow, and Red is seen barely resisting the harsh winds and raindrops, another flash of lightning proceeds to strike, causing Red to shut his eyes to prevent blindness. He opens them, and finds that Yellow is no longer anywhere in sight. "Yellow!"
"Why concern yourself with that witch?" Called out a voice.
Red's eyes then proceeds to widen in surprise. "No...It can't be!"
"A child of Darkness is all she is, and all she ever will be." Called out another voice.
Suddenly, the entire forest is shrouded in what appears to be black, shadowy energy, and the leaves on the trees and bushes proceed to shrivel up, and start to fall off rapidly.
Red then proceeds to turn around, and his eyes widen in surprise. "You!"
Standing in front of Red are two individuals that he thought he had defeated. The first individual is a man with short red hair, and light brown skin. A yellow pendant with a silver outline is shown to be embedded on his forehead. He is shown with a long, dark, purple cape, lined with white triangles on the bottom. The top part of his body is shown to be coated with black armor, laced with yellow spikes. His lower body is shown with brown leather, laced with black knee guards also with yellow spikes. He is shown with white gauntlets laced with red and blue outlines. His socks are shown with the same design as the gloves, and he too is wearing brown shoes.
The second individual appears to be a tall, bald, masculine humanoid, blue in color with a red core like object in his chest. His eyes then proceed to glow red.
"What are you doing here, we defeated you!" Yelled Red.
"Did you really?" Asked the first individual. "Poor stupid kid, what you fail to realize is that you can never be rid of us."
"The power of Darkness can never be extinguished, no matter how strong the Light may be." Said the second individual. "She will fall into darkness again, and share our fate."
Red then proceeds to draw some type of sword, resembling that of a key. It is shown to be red in color, with a yellow holder. At the brim of the sword is some sort of arc shaped curve, ending at the tip.
"Never! I will never let that happen!" Yelled Red. He then proceeds to rush towards the two individuals, and proceeds to slash them both. Both individuals grunt in pain before being covered in pillars of black energy. The pillars dissolve, and the two individuals are shown to have disappeared. Red is seen panting like crazy. He then proceeds to look forward, and sees Yellow, still adorned in her brown hooded robe. "Yellow!"
He then proceeds to run towards her, and then proceeds to embrace her.
"Oh thank goodness your OK." Said Red. "Don't worry, I'll protect you from anybody who would even think of doing you harm."
"Is that so?" Asked Yellow, her voice now completely distorted. Red's eyes then proceed to once again widen in shock.
"Yellow?" Said Red, slowly releasing his hug.
"How awfully kind of you, but I'm afraid I have bad news for you Red." Said Yellow. She turns around, and we see that her hair is black, and her eyes black with red pupils, and on her ears the earrings adorned with purple crystal. "Yellow" proceeds to give a smile, revealing a set of razor sharp teeth. She then proceeds to jump onto Red, knocking him to the ground. "The Yellow you know is dead."
"Yellow! YELLOW NO!" Yelled Red.
"HEEEEAAAAH!" Screeched "Yellow". She opens her mouth and lunges it towards Red's face.
"AH!" Yelled Red, who proceeds to bang his head onto the cieling. "Ow."
"Pika?" Asked the trainers Pikachu, who is seen resting on the other side of his bed.
"Oh, Pika, sorry about that." Said Red, rubbing his head. "Please go back to sleep."
"Chu." Said the Pikachu. It then proceeds to curl up into a ball and closes it's eyes. Red then proceeds to sigh, and gets up from the bed. He enters into what seems to be a bathroom, and proceeds to turn on the sink. He then proceeds to splash some water on his face and wipes it off with a towel.
"Hard to believe it's only been a year since all of that has happened." Thought Red to himself. He proceeds to sigh. "All the trouble of going out to find her, battling the Heartless, The Dark Circle, not to mention Tabuu...only for her to walk out on us a couple of weeks after the fact."
Red then proceeds to turn the sink off, and looks at himself in the mirror. "I hope she's OK." Thought Red to himself. He then proceeds to turn out the lights and walk out the bathroom. He slowly proceeds to climb back in bed, and sighs once more. He closes his eyes, and shortly drifts off into sleep.
Comments: And thus the second arc has begun ladies and gentlemen. For any newcomers that are reading this particular story, I'm not going to ask you to go and read the first story "Kingdom Hearts: A New Horizon!", but that would be appreciated. So anyway, I figured this little prologue would be a decent way to start this new story off, sorry if it seems a little bit short, and if it doesn't make too much sense, but you take what you can get. Thank you guys so much for reading this chapter, I hope you enjoyed it. Please leave your comments and reviews, as I love to hear feedback from you guys, and as always, I will see you next chapter!
