Normal introduction talk, yada yada yada... blah blah blah...
Anyways, yup it's a story, another spin off off my mind that I'm thinking "this would make for a great story"
Naturally, its progression will depend on your responses and reviews.
Disclaimer: Don't own anything but the words, not Kingdom Hearts, or any other major title you will see in the near future.
PS. I made all the other characters vague for a reason. If you have any ideas as to who those characters in the song are (ex. Blond girl/ red-haired girl/ etc...) send me some thoughts. I'm not changing who they are though, so yeah...
Enough chitter-chatter, let's begin.
Kingdom Hearts: Birth of Heart
Prologue
(Sanctuary by Utada begins to play)
A flashback begins to play out, of younger Sora acquiring the keyblade, then to him, Donald, and Goofy placing their hands together to break, and each friend from Kingdom Hearts 1 briefly flashes by. His duel with Riku is seen, and Sora releasing Kairi's heart with the dark keyblade. Then it shows him falling into the darkness, and pans to Roxas being born from light in a dark area.
Each Organization member is seen in their sitting room, with Roxas as the new member. Xion is seen next, and the two working together in scenes from numerous worlds. Ending with Xion, Roxas, and Axel sitting atop the train station in Twilight Town.
In you and I, there's a new land.
The image shatters into glass as Xion's dies in Roxas' arms. Then Roxas, Hayner, Pence, and Olette are sitting together, with the colored trophy orbs, staring at the sunset.
Angel's in flight
One by one, his friends vanished into dust leaving Roxas alone.
wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I
Twilight town vanished, and Roxas fell.
My sanctuary, my sanctuary, yeah
Roxas landed on his feet in the dark, and a new, foresty world materialized around him.
Where fears and lies melt away
Camera pans to the side of Roxas' face, and he looks ahead to see two new faces. A young girl with short blond hair, and a young boy with short black hair.
Music Inside
They Smile.
wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I
Both vanish into darkness, as an evil eyed face, shrouded in dark replaces them.
What's left of me, what's left of me now
Roxas grits his teeth and runs towards the figure, but the world vanishes and he falls again. As he drops, head first, eyes closed, images run through his head.
First he's on a grassy hill with a man, looking at the clouds, then between a fight of two friends.
Next is a red-haired girl, and a blond boy holding her arm as she's about to fall from atop a building.
After that is Roxas shouting with a group of dinosaurs, roaring with them at a fierce enemy.
Then him sitting next to a young boy at night, looking up at the moon.
I watch you fast asleep
Roxas slowly opens his eyes, and flips around, landing on his feet. He is standing atop the Organization's castle, with the other members staring at him with rage.
All I fear means nothing
Roxas holds the keyblade in the air, as he starts to glow a shining gold color. A beam of golden light radiates from the keyblade into the air.
In you and I, there's a new land
Sora appears on screen, laying in bed, but jumps up to look out his window, and sees the light shining far away. The camera pans to Kairi's room.
Angels in flight
Naminé wakes up from Kairi.
wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I
She looks up to the sky to see the light as well.
My sanctuary, my sanctuary yeah
She lowers her hand to her chest, and the camera zooms into her hand.
Where fears and lies melt away
Her hand is replaced with Roxas', who's holding his hand to his chest as well. With his keyblade shining bright, he charges at the other Organization members. Each prepare to fight.
Music inside
The screen turns to gold.
wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I
A close up of Ventus replaces the gold, and he shows a determined face.
What's left of me, what's left of me
The screen moves to his hand, which holds a heart.
snwod dna spu ynam os
The camera zooms into the heart, which has a castle inside, and zooms into the front door.
My heart's a battleground
Roxas is standing with the blond girl and black-haired boy from before, facing a massive staircase.
snoitome eurt deen I
They start to run up the stairs. Heartless block their path.
wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I
The girl defeats them with magic, while Roxas and the boy run ahead. Nobody's then stand higher up, while the boy charges into them.
snoitome eurt deen I
Roxas continues past them and runs into a new enemy, which knocks him back, but he recovers and charges forward, with the keyblade extended.
The camera changes to Roxas bursting through doors. One side of the room is lined with portraits of Roxas, the other side with portraits of Sora.
You show me how to see
All the portraits begin to melt into darkness, which gathers in the center of the room.
That nothing is whole and nothing is broken
The form manifests into a menacing enemy that isn't seen clearly. Roxas reveals two keyblades, the Oathkeeper and Oblivion. He charges towards the enemy swiftly.
In you and I, there's a new land
The screen changes to Roxas in front of another staircase, it is lined with open windows, all showing the stars of the night sky.
Angels in flight
A light shines next to him.
wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I
Xion appears, and holds onto Roxas' hand, smiling warmly.
My sanctuary, my sancuary yeah
She vanishes, and Roxas walks up the stairs slowly, with him thinking of all his new friends.
Where fears and lies melt away
He reaches the top, which has a small door, and he opens the door to reveal a blinding light. The screen goes glaring white, and Roxas shields his eyes with his arms. He also vanishes into the light.
Music inside
Xion's smile flashes on screen.
wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I
The screen goes to Naminé sitting in Kairi's room, drawing a picture of Roxas and his friends.
What's left of me, what's left of me now
She closes her sketch book, then goes to the window to stare at the moon.
Ooooooooooooh
Screen goes back to Roxas.
My fears and lies
He's standing in the Awakening again. Looking at the image of Sora and his friends on the pillar.
Melt away
He looks up to see Ventus staring back at him, the camera circles them from above. Both slowly step towards one another, step after step, until there is a small space between them.
wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I
The keyblade appears in a flash of light in between the two. The camera slowly zooms into the keyblade.
(Song ends)
Roxas, Sora's nobody, stood quietly on the stained glass platform with the image of Sora. Before his was Ventus, who looked identical to Roxas himself.
"Who are you?" Asked Roxas.
"I am Ventus, I'm the person that started Sora on his journey. Eleven years ago, I went on a journey on my own, but things went wrong, and I got lost in the darkness. But then I found Sora, and now he holds my soul."
"Why am I here? Why do you look like me?"
"I wanted to see you. You may be a nobody, but you're very different from the others, so different, that I consider you more than a nobody. And the reason we look alike may be that when Sora became a heartless, and you were born, your appearance was probably influenced by my soul."
"Does that mean we're twins?"
"I'm not exactly sure, to be honest. But if you would like to think of me that way, then yes, we can be siblings." Ventus looked at the floating keyblade between them. "I was once able to wield the keyblade, then Sora, and even you, a nobody, was able to harness its power. It may very well be because of my existence within Sora that you were able to use it, but nevertheless, it makes you incredibly unique."
"Thank you?"
Ventus laughed briefly. "That was meant to be a compliment. But before I forget why I brought you here, in Sora's heart, let me explain. Can you remember someone, a nobody, as equally talented as you?"
"What do you mean?"
"A girl also with the ability to use the keyblade, but for a very different reason."
At those words, something jumped within Roxas, and Ventus could sense it.
"I see that there is a memory of her, inside you somewhere."
"I feel like there should be, but I can't remember anything." Roxas held onto his head. "It sounds so familiar, and something inside me is screaming to remember..."
"But you can't. While you are special, you are still a nobody. And that means you aren't connected to your memories as much as others. People like Sora. Even when his memories were tampered with, he was able to recover them slowly and slightly, even before Naminé began to fix his memories."
"Why can't I remember?"
"You are missing the most important thing when it comes to memories, where all memories matter the most. A heart. You've merged with Sora, but you still have no heart."
"I know... you don't have to remind me." Roxas looked down at his shoes.
"Right there."
"Huh?"
"If I didn't know you were a nobody, I would've assumed you felt shame, but you didn't truly feel it. That's what makes you different though, you have impulses of emotion, even if they're not your own. It's for that reason that I feel I can help you create a heart."
"Excuse me? Create a heart? That's possible?"
"Maybe, but it wont be easy. That is the real reason why I brought you here. I want to help you, if you are willing to try. But once you begin this journey, there will be no turning back."
"My own heart..." Roxas was too lost in thought to really react to the news. "I can have my own heart..."
"In this way, you can become separate from Sora. If it works, you will still be connected, as your new heart will bond to his, yet you will truly be yourself, and no one will be able to say different."
"If it's really possible, then I'll do anything."
"This challenge wont be without risk. You could end up vanishing forever."
Roxas gulped. He didn't want to vanish forever, but he wanted to have his own heart even more.
"Will you take the risk?"
"Absolutely, without a doubt."
The keyblade gave a bright shine.
"Okay then, grab hold of the keyblade, and we can begin.
First chapter is up! Read it review it, but if you bash it I will find you, and heads will roll (not really) but there's no point in bashing something you don't like, its just a waste of your time. Constructive criticism is more than welcome, the more of it I get, the better I write.
Any questions? No? Good.
(You'll have to PM me or review if you want them answered.)
