A/N: Yes, another fanfic, this one (if you hadn't noticed, it's Kingdom Hearts). Anyway, original characters galore, but I promise I'll stay out of the Mary-Sue zone as much as I can! Besides, you can have fun with anime/manga worlds even if you don't like my characters! Well, I normally don't start fics like this, but KH is a game that HAS to have a song if you ask me, and I want to keep the archetype of KH, at least all the things I can having it be a novel instead of a manga or game, so the theme is Revolve by the Japanese band UVERworld which you can listen to on Youtube…somewhere… I posted the Japanese lyrics in sections and at the bottom is the whole song in English. Well, enjoy!

Two. Two boys of great importance, though they were little know, slept that night each one different in appearance and heart, but connected indefinitely… So it began…


It felt like he was falling forever, sifting through the darkness with his body. His black hair and green eyes were the only things that discerned him from the mass of darkness, his skin was overshadowed easily. His fall went unnoticed by all, even the boy himself, it seemed, and until he landed, he didn't move a muscle despite the large fall.

'Whoa, where am I?"' the boy pondered, looking around. He had just fallen out of the sky, quite literally, after all.

"So much to do, so little time... Take your time. Don't be afraid. The door is still shut. Now, step forward. Can you do it?" a mysterious voice echoed from the darkness around him. The boy looked around. He then shrugged the voice off, and stepped forward with little trouble to meet a trio of platforms with three items on them: a sword, a shield, and a staff. They all had blades, the sword's where it should be expected, the shield's coming out from the center, and the staff's at the end. The boy walked up and looked at them each in turn, to hear the voice say:

"If you give it form... It will give you strength. Choose well."

The boy took up the shield first, and heard it again , "The power of the guardian. Kindness to aid friends. And shield to repel all. Is this the power you seek?". He shook his head, setting the shield back, then walked past to the Sword to hear the voice speak: "The power of the warrior. Invincible courage. A sword

of terrible destruction. Is this the power you seek?" He shook his head again, and went to the last platform which held the staff. The voice echoed again "The power of the Mage. Wisdom. A staff of magic and wonder . Is this the power you seek?" the boy closed his eyes, then reopened them and grasped the sword. He looked at it for a moment, only to see it disappear. He blinked, then saw that it's platform had dispersed as well.

The voice continued "Now what will you give up in exchange?" it querried. This time the boy had an easy choice, he walked over to the staff and grasped it for a bit, then watched as it disappeared into thin air the same as his sword.

"You've gained the power to fight," the voice echoed. The boy suddenly felt the sword in his hand again, and looked at it for only a second before slashing the air in front of him without reason, he just felt like doing so. The darkness quivered and the voice continued, "All right! You've got it! Use this power to protect yourself and others." As it spoke, mysterious creatures, small and made of complete darkness, at least judging by their appearance, came from the depths of the surrounding darkness

"There will be times when you have to fight, keep your light burning strong!" the presence of the voice disappeared and the boy faced forward, looking at the beasts he took a ready to fight stance, his left hand balled into a fist and his right clutching the Keyblade and holding it off to his right, the blade facing away from him. The shadows drew in, making a perfect circle, they had yellow eyes that glowed ferociously with what appeared as hunger. They drew closer and closer until… One leapt at him, with an incredible speed.

The boy ducked beneath it a bit, then brought his blade up as it was passing directly overhead to slash it into pieces of wispy darkness. He then looked at the others, which had started moving as soon as he'd finished with one. Two came from the left; one beneath him, one leaping like the previous one. The boy performed his own leap, slashing the aerial one in half with an upper slash from midair, then flipping around in the air to look beneath him, he slashed the one crawling below him into dust as well. He hit the floor, but rolled with the impact and wasn't harmed severely. He then stood up twirled the sword by its hilt. It felt light in his hand, he realized.

"Not long enough…Your time has come…" the voice echoed again, and suddenly, as though he were watching a movie and it had just been paused, the shadows stopped. The boy looked around in shock. He was the only thing moving now. A glow of light signaled his eyes to dart towards the left, where a large, beautifully adorned door, pure white with intricate designs and patterns for decoration, sat. He walked up to it, grasped the handles, and pulled. It didn't open. Somehow, however, he'd been expecting that.

'It's coming…"' he thought. He surveyed the room, apprehensive. Then, without warning, a large black shadow appeared beneath, blotting out the image on the platform. He twisted around in shock as he saw the shadow raise itself from the ground and begin to form a huge entity the likes of which he'd never seen before.

It was a hulking creature, at least as tall as a two story house. It had spikes coming from it's shoulders and its eyes were a deep, angry, blood red. It had no mouth, yet seemed to be growling. Its arms were massive hulks of shadowy muscle that pulsed with some odd energy, its head was also lined with spikes as though that was its hair. The boy didn't know how he knew it, but he knew this creature…It was like a fairy tale beast he'd grown up knowing, but had forgotten when he got older. The beast's name came to him now, regardless of whether it was true or not, he was facing: NullVoid.

He backed away, unsure of why he was afraid. 'I can't die, can I? Is this…Dream…world?"' his thoughts became scrambled in looking at the hulking beast, he backed away more, until he came to the edge of the platform.

"Your time is now, don't run from the darkness…Don't run from non-existence." The voice had emotion now, a very odd emotion he couldn't pinpoint, but it gave the boy strength, and he knew what he had to do. He raised the sword up, and charged forward with speed he'd never had before. The beast seemed to roar, then it raised a hand, and shot six tree sized spikes from the depths of the darkness that was its palm. The boy paused for only a second, not for shock, but to time his movements…

'Now!"' the boy leapt on one of the black spears, not knowing how darkness could support him, but from there he leapt off and slashed at the hand. NullVoid didn't seem to take any notice, he simply used his other hand to swat the boy away, sending him barreling back onto the platform. He skidded to a halt right at the edge, and looked up with tears of pain in his eyes. But then, there was something else: Belief. He knew he could do it now, though he didn't know why after he'd just been effectively pawned. But he rose, despite his body's pain, and charged again to meet a total of 30 tree trunk sized black spikes, which had come from NullVoid's hands, feet, and head. He leapt onto one, slashed another two before they hit, and then leapt from the one he was standing on, this time aiming higher on NullVoid. This time, he went for a headshot. NullVoid seemed to sense this, and acknowledged it as a threat, it used its hands to try and catch him, but the boy did a flip in midair and landed on the beasts hands which where now clenched in a squeezing position on nothing but themselves.

NullVoid wasn't deterred, he released his grasp and the boy would have fallen had he not leapt at the last possible second, heading again for NullVoid's head. He brought his sword back as far as possible on his left side so he could make a clean sweep through the beast's head, and then released slicing with all his force just as NullVoid's hands had went at him again. SMASH! The hand had hit him this time, but not before his blade had sliced through NullVoid's throat. The hands went limp, NullVoid seemed to be trying to let out a cry or groan, as he released the boy and fell back, over the edge of the platform, the sword, which had remained in his neck, went with him into the deep abyss of darkness. The boy hit the platform hard, and tried to get up, but now that the sword was gone, for whatever reason, he felt weak. He looked up, his nose bleeding and his body aching all over, and saw the door emnate a stronger light.

"Your time was short, but your power is great," the voice began, the boy couldn't reply from the pain. "don't be afraid, the door will open soon," the voice wouldn't cease, no matter how much the boy wished it would. "You are the one who will open it. You will open the door. Never forget…" the voice sounded like it would disappear soon, "you hold the mightiest weapon of all." The boy heard her as though from far off this time, and, with all his strength gone, he closed his eyes, just wanting to rest… The ground was shaking. He peeked open an eye and turned on his side to see the platform leaning towards the darkness.

'I…lost?"' the boy thought, looking at the darkness before him. The platform tilted more and more, he wouldn't be able to stay there any longer…He should move. But it was already too late, with one final sentence from the voice, the platform tilted over into the darkness, the boy closed his eyes and wondered exactly what the voice meant by it…the words: "The Light of Darkness will guide you…."


The night would soon end, and two boys, who had shared almost the exact same dream, would awaken to a world that was in its final days, and wouldn't remember the dream at all. In the sky, a star twinkled, then disappeared.


A/N: Well, that's me prologue! I hoped you all liked my editing and all that of the Dive. And I tried to find what the voice really says upon the staff, but no one had it and I no longer have a working copy of Kingdom Hearts. I hope it sounded real enough! Anyway read and review! Or don't and say you did…In a review! Oh, and as promised, the English Lyrics (by the by, this is a favorite song of mine, though I like Shamrock more…).

I knew
You were telling yourself it wasn't over
Because you were afraid of being hurt

On nights like that night I spent alone, with only my loneliness to hold
I let your voice guide me, wow

Close by, your smile, call, once again
I want to hold you like I did that day
Someday I'll go and see the lights
On the streets I walked through
I want to be by your side forever
But it wasn't enough, I couldn't find the words to say, and now it's over

We were sad, as if we were trying to look for each other
With our backs to each other

Woo you're everything
I can't forget you
You're so unforgettable

Close by
Your smile, call, once again
I want to hold you so badly it hurts
I can't choose a new hand to hold
All I need is you
Takin' it to me once again
While I can still see the lights that are entwined forever

Close by
Your smile, call, once again
I want to hold you like I did that day
Someday I'll go and see the lights
On the streets I walked through

When I lost you
I lost my dreams and any compensation
Unable to put you in my box of memories

I want to be by your side forever
But it's enough, I can't find the words to say
And time keeps passing by

I want to be by your side forever
But it wasn't enough, I couldn't find the words to say, and now it's over
