Wherever there is light, darkness will always follow. There cannot be just one; they need each other for survival.
-Master Yen Sid
There is a tale of a young boy, who was separated from his parents at a very young age thanks to the beings of darkness, the Heartless. The boy was thrown into "Corridors of Darkness" and due to a very young age he had lost all of his memory of his parents. He ended up in a world named Land of Departure; home to Keyblade masters Aqua and Terra. Not knowing where the kid came from they raised him for the next six years. But when Aqua tried to take him Twilight town to go to the festival, they ran into even more Heartless, but nobody else seemed to notice the dark beings. Aqua went to fight the Heartless telling the boy to go hide. But the Heartless got ahold of the boy and they dragged him to the Twilight Town Mansion. There an evil force had put him in a pod similar what happened to Sora in Kingdom Hearts COM. The evil force had tried to completely erase the boy's mind with darkness, only to be thwarted because this boy's heart was made of pure light. Now Seven years have passed since the boy was separated from his other family and he has now awakened. This is that story.
Chapter 1: Awakening
"Quick get him up we can't afford for them to find us!" yelled a mysterious voice. "We can't rush time, you need to have more patience." replied a relaxed worker. "We already have enough heartless trying to slow them down once they reach Twilight Town it's all over!" snapped the first voice "We need to get him out of here! NOW!" "Ok fine, I'll just wake him up" replies the calm worker as he types in a few commands into a computer and the first voice along with a lot of other workers ride in escape pods into Corridors of Darkness
"Zero…..awaken the time has come" says a digital voice, and a white egg shaped pod opens up revealing a boy inside. "Huh? What happened?" asks the boy. "There is no time to explain get out of here." the digital voice replies if it's one thing the boy hates it's when somebody tells him to do something without explaining. "Wait what?" What's happening?! Why do I sound different? And why am I taller?" asked the boy who now is really annoyed. Just before the boy could say anything else, a computer screen flashed one sentence that made the boy nearly jump out of his skin. "ERROR: SELF-DESTRUCT SEQUENCE ACTIVATED 5 MINUTES UNTILL DETONATION!" "I gotta get out of here!" exclaimed the boy as he started to run towards the door. As he ran out the front door he ran smack into a gate. "Ow! Why is there a gate here?!" exclaims the boy but as he said the word "gate" the gate opened. "Wow it must be voice activated" says the boy surprised as he runs into the woods. "Maybe if I go straight I'll get out of here!" He finally reaches the end of the forest when he hears a loud explosion from behind him. Quickly looking back he expects to see flames and smoke but nothing is where it was, he tried to climb a tree to see the Mansion from there but he saw nothing but a huge crater. Where he was five minutes ago had just been reduced to a crater the size of a meteor. "I'm glad I made it out just in time."
