1Chapter One-Turf Wars
Disclaimer: I don't not own any part of Kingdom Hearts/Disney, if I did somethings would be different. This is purely fan-based! I do however offical own the character "Shadow". Dibs! Ha! Anyways... please send reviews so I can get better! Don't flame me...it's not nice.
I'll never forget my first day as a heartless. I was still young and was of the lowest rank, a shadow.
Standing on the grey sand below me were 12 boys. Each boy was about 14 years or so old, same as me. Staring down at them gave me a feeling of vertigo from the stadium seating.
Each of the boys wore long black cloaks that swept genteelly over their small statur and covered their faces. The hood of each cloak was decorated with two bright, yellow eyes. All of the boys where hunched over, their hands clenched tightly. Each of the 12 where on the bottom of the Heartless's gang hierarchy, shadow class, same as me.
Behind the 12 boys proudly stood a taller boy of the same age with armor on and a shining sword in his hand. He was a rank higher, a Soldier Heartless. His smirk was easily visible from under his visor.
Across from the 13 members of the Heartless gang where 13 more boys, and a few girls, in slick white leotards. They each had a strange hood on that came up from both the back of their leotards and front neckline, ending in a unzipped opening that looked mildly like a cruel grin. All of the Nobodies stood several inches taller then the Heartless and jumped eagerly from foot to foot.
"Ummm...sir? Will the Shadows be ok? I mean...ummm...they have 13 enemies from the same cast fighting them." I asked the fat man wearing the red-blue outfit of a general sitting next to me. He didn't look at me but simple stroked his bulbous chin with his fat fingers.
"Could've sworn I done told you ta call me Mister Pete." He said as he watched the fight with slitted, black eyes.
A roar came from all sides of the coliseum. Anger resonated from my gang's side while joy from the Nobodies. Looking down I saw that one of the Shadows had run headlong into the Nobodies alone and was now being beaten down.
Looking back I apologetically said "Sorry Mister Pete. It's just that I just move to Twilight Town and well...I'm still getting used to it."
"S'all right," he said as he gave me a harsh slap on the back, " Listen now those Nobodies are just nobodies, even for their own gang. Their Dusks ya see? That there is the lowest class of Nobody. You'd know a higher class nobody either by his magic, because they lover their magic somethin awful, or because they look like them over there." He said as he pointed one sausage sized finger at the 13 teens sitting on the other sided of the Coliseum. Each of the 13 wore tapered black trench coats and sat on tall white collums that ranged randomly at different levels, obviously another sign of rank.
"Those are the best of the best of the Nobodies. From top to bottom its: Mansex... I mean Xemnas, Xigbar, Xaldin, lots of Xs with theses here guys, Vexen, Lexaues, Zexion, Saix, Axel and finally Roxas. See each of them with Xs... like it's a requirement or something. That there boy with the blonde hair is Roxas he's our Sora's little brother." Pete said, pointing at a trench coated boys that sat on one of the lower collums.
Pete jumped up, thrusting his flabby fists towards the sky, in response to the Soldier marching across the field and cutting down two Dusks with one slice. Many other Heartless joined Pete in celebration.
"Mister Pete...umm...who's Sora?" I asked.
Pete looked down, frozen in mid-celebration, with jaw dropped, as if I had just been the first to tell him he was fat in all these years.
"Wait a sec. No-one done taught you who your superiors are yet?" He asked, slowly sitting down as if in physical pain.
I shook my head, my hood not fully following.
"Well then let me show ya," He said as he spun around and began to point out people sitting higher up. "Well..lets see here... There's Mickey, or as he likes to be called "King" and Minnie his "queen". Err...Donald, our best mage and Walt, our best knight but you can just call him "Goofy". Then there's Leon and Cid, special cases on their own. Aladdin is our best thief. My lovely Malificent. Ah, then there's Xehnohart, he done be Xemnas's kid brother." Pete said with a thumb jerk over toward collums sitters, "Then there's our fighting trio: Kiari, Riku and Sora." He said as finished pointing towards a short teen with caramel brown hair and crystal blue eyes wearing silver-blue and white jacket over a red shirt and dark blue jeans with several yellow belts and such.
With a loud thud, due to the deadly silence in the coliseum, the last of the Dusks fell to the Soldier's blade. The nearby gates lifted and a flood of Dusks, and several other Nobodies, rushed out to drag the wounded away. My whole side burst out into celebration, Mister Pete jumping happily with fists raised.
The Soldier, along with the still standing Shadows, walked towards the center of the coliseum field where a tall man stood. His hair was electric blue and stood wildly, giving the appearance of flames. Only his jutting chin took attention away from his hair. With a smile the tall adult pulled a microphone from out of his black, skull-brooched, tunic.
"Well ladies and gents, once again the Heartless win! You know what that means: They get turf control of the southeast part of the beach! But I just spoke to the gang leaders and they have both called for a new match! Whats on the stakes you ask? Well it will be the Heartless's new territory along with...the south western beach! And what pray-tell will the Nobodies give up if they loose? The rest of the beach! That's right! The whole beach is up for turf grabs in this final match! And remember: You'll only see this where? At my Coliseum! Hade's Underworld Coliseum!" The blue hair man, Hades, shouted, "Now then... who will be fighting you ask? Well, I give you for the Heartless team:"
"Sora and Riku!!" Hades roared as the caramel haired teen walked out from the Heartless gate. Behind him came a tall, silver haired teen with a black wife-beater under a white and yellow vest on that mismatched his baggy blue jeans and steely tennies. In both their hands were swords, one looked like a huge key and the other like a black and red bat-wing.
"And for the Nobodies? Roxas and Axel!!"Hades bellowed as two more teen stepped out. A hush fell, certainly because everyone had just realized that the two brother were going to have to fight. The short teen, dirty blonde teen Pete had pointed out before walked out with a similar key-blade in his had. Roxas was followed by another teen that was almost as tall as Riku. His body was lanky, which was clear because the tight tapering on the trench-coat. No-one ever focused on Axel's lanky form because of the fiery spikes that severed as his hair and the bladed equally red chakras that he wielded.
As Hades left the field, Pete turned to me with a wide, bucked toothed grin and said "Oooooh this is gonna be good."
