A/N: This is going to be a little different then what I expect most KH Fanfics are. I am not going to be using A LOT of the canon material for KH, for this is a huge AU (Alternate Universe) story. I am using the worlds true to only KH (Such as Traverse Town, Twilight Town, Radiant Garden etc.), The Final Fantasy characters. and most of Organization XIII. So if you've come here expecting different takes on the Disney aspect of Kingdom Hearts, I am sorry, but I am not using the Disney of KH. I will make sure to mention though that it is NOT because I hate Disney or something, I was making this for a Role Play me and my friends were doing and we wanted to be able to be as original as we could. also the usual blah blah I do not own Kingdom Hearts or any of it's canon characters or worlds, I am simply putting my characters in a setting. Without further ado,
Introduction:
This world we live in is not all that it seems. In fact this is not even all there is. There are many worlds, many lands, and many cultures. Each one is vastly different, as they know nothing of each other. They are still connected though, through the Lanes Between. There is a great darkness that lurks inside each world though, that is left unchecked, would destroy everything it touched. This is where they come in.
They are the chosen warriors of the Keyblade. The Keyblade is the only weapon that is able to combat this darkness. In a sense, the Keyblade wielders are the guardians of the realm. However, each world needs its own personal protector. That is where the Keyblade Masters come in. Each one is assigned a world as his charge. Their duty, when not defending their world, is to train their pupils to one day become Masters themselves. As light and darkness are in constant conflict, so too are the Keyblade Masters and their students. But, as one may guess...all this world needs is a push to break the delicate balance that has remained to this day...
Chapter 1: The Keyblade's New Chosen:
The Keyblade Master named Zant was doing his usual rounds around the world he was charged to defend, Twilight Town. Zant was a man at about 6 feet tall with short, slicked back black hair and green eyes. He liked to wear a white overcoat accompained by a black undershirt and dark gray pants. He normally would make his rounds of the town about 3 times before heading back to the mansion he had made as his home. However, today was looking to be a little more interesting as he had noticed a rogue group of Heartless heading towards the Sandlot. However, the last thing he expected to see was a boy standing to fight the Heartless by himself.
Minutes eariler the boy named Lucius was hanging out with his friends. Lucius was a well built 17 year old with pulled back white hair. He had green eyes as well, and his outfit consisted of a plain brown skin tight T-shirt, black skinny jeans, and a silver chain necklace with a X in the middle. "Alright guys, what should we go do next?" Lucius asked casualy to his friends. one of his friends piped up with "Well we could go take a vacation to the beach. I mean I hear it's gonna be nice today and tomorrow." Lucius thought for a moment. He hadn't been to the beach in a while so it might be a good idea.
As he was about to say yes to it, everyone gasped and Lucius turned to see some shadows appear from the ground. "Heartless!" His friends exclaimed and ran off. Lucius stayed though, he was sick and tired of running from these things. "You want a fight? Come and get it!" Lucius charged.
A/N: I would recommend during fights (or in general) you play some music in the background, it makes it much more entertaining and can get you invested in the story
Lucius pulled out the bat he used in the annual Struggle Tournaments and charged the creatures. He attempted to smack at them but they kept sinking into the ground and coming out behind him to attack. One of them actually managed to claw him in his left shoulder deep enough to most likely leave a scar. Lucius jumped back and tried to get his bearings. He was dealing with about 5 enemies, and they were much too fast for him to deal with.
He decided to try to predict where they'd come up but he any hit he made seemed to have little effect. Eventually he fell to his knees in pain. "Damn" he thought. He started to wonder what would happen to his friends if he died here. They were counting on him, and he failed them. He waited for death to come but it never came. He saw an older man jump down from a roof infront of him carrying a weapon he recognized as a Keyblade. The Keyblade seemed to be a mixture of white and black. (Picture Oblivion in your mind but the bottom being black and as the hilt becomes the blade it turns to be white.)
"Who are you, old man?" The man seemed to smirk at him. "I am known as Zant, and if you want to live this day allow me to take care of these monsters." Before Lucius could protest, Zant made quick work of the Heartless. Afterward Zant approached him. "Tell me boy, why did you take on those Heartless by yourself?" Lucius stood straight up. "I was trying to protect my friends...but I obviously wasn't strong enough." Zant smiled at this. He could tell this boy had a great heart. He had been looking for another apprentice for a while, so he figured he might as well ask. "Do you wish to grow stronger then? Do you wish to have the power to fight against the Darkness?" Lucius looked dead in his face and said rather stoicly, "Of course! But...what are you trying to say?"
Zant flipped his Keyblade and handed it torwards Lucius. "I can give you and train you in this power. Take this Keyblade, and if it deems you worthy, I will make you my apprentice. I am Master Zant. What is your name?" Lucius reached out for the Keyblade. "Lucius..." He grabbed hold of the Keyblade and he held it in his hand. It seemed to transform in his hand. It turned into the Kingdom Key. Zant was glad that he had made the right choice. "Well then...I suppose you should follow me."
