The Darker Side of the Moon
I do not own Kingdom Hearts or any of the characters.
A/n: I just wanted to write a RikuSora one-shot, but then the ideas kept on growing and growing until they formed this dark AU. I hope it won't be too dark though… (Hope? I'm the author! I should know.) I'd put more, but I'm lazy. My next a/n should be longer.

Prologue

What… kind of a world was this?
It was filled with magic, nightmares, hope, and despair. You either succeeded in life by using those weaker than you as steps to your goal, or struggled to claim a meaning and purpose so that you do not wander the streets of the town as a lost cause.
Most of the population lived as the latter.
A young man walked through the streets of the town, realizing exactly where he stood in this world. As he glanced up at the glowing neon signs, at the tall, dark, and daunting skyscrapers, and at the gloomy, vapid sky, he smiled in a pitiful realization.
"What am I doing here…? There has to be more that I can do." He looked away from the sky and at the streets, which held an even more depressing sight—nothing. No one was out wasting their money shopping, no hobos were taking a nap in some alley… even the wind was nonexistent. So what was he doing there, all by himself? Why was he the only one showing proof of existence?
"They couldn't catch me. And they never will." The brunette mumbled to himself, feeling his sense of accomplishment. He grinned, adding to his smug comment, but his large, blue eyes frowned otherwise.
Sora was alone. He traveled from district to district in the large town simply nicknamed "The City That Never Was", and in each one, only he and a few other people were able to avoid the clutches of the elite, the well-known, the ones with authority… the Organization.
After a few more steps, Sora stopped, his hands in his jean pockets, his face suddenly contorted into a scowl. Within a second, he held his head up and pulled his fists out of his pockets, clenching them with rage. "You hear that?! You'll never get me! You may get these average citizens, but you'll never get me! You may get these shopkeepers, but you'll never get me! You may get my friends, my family, but guess what?" he yelled into the desolate streets, stopping only for a moment. "You will never, ever, get me!"
Whether his fight was one for survival or one for freedom, or just one of defiance, this boy would use every ounce of his strength and all of his gifted powers to someday bring down the Organization. He would return this world, the only world he knew, into one that everyone could enjoy. Although that would be impossible alone.

A/n: If this is even just one percent interesting, please review! Just a few reviews to show you're interested and I'll put up another chapter. And this story will have RikuSora, I swear. I just need to be my silly self and introduce more characters and reveal more of the story before they even meet. Ehehehe //kicked//.
Ahem, anyway, just to maybe excite you guys more, this will have a demented and manipulative Roxas. I'm really excited to write that. :D
