Disclaimer: I don't own KH (wish I did though, I'd be filthy rich!). I did not steal my OC named "Nevaeh", She has the same name as someone else's OC, but they look completely different. I just like the name so I used it.
Academy of Sunset Shores
Chapter 1: The Dream
Roxas POV
I was falling through the sky. Like a rocket I flew into the ocean. My eyes were closed, and I was falling deeper, and deeper into the blue water. I was wearing tan, baggy pants, and a white T-shirt. I could feel the icy, cold water lapse against my skin, yet my clothes were still perfectly dry.
Suddenly instead of water, I was falling through darkness, then I landed. I couldn't see anything, but then white doves flew out from under me revealing a stained glass platform. On the platform was a picture of me, and three people I've never met before. All four pictures were arranged in a square. Their were two women, and one guy. The guy had spiky, chocolate colored hair, and blue eyes that were sparkling. One woman had auburn colored hair and deep blue eyes, she was right beside the chocolate colored hair guy. Then I looked at the picture beside my own. She had shoulder length blonde hair, and cerulean eyes. The platform itself gave off radiance.
"So much to do, so little time… Take your time… don't be afraid… The darkness is still at bay… for now…" a mysterious voice said in my head, and I turned around hoping to find the source
I decided I must have imagined it, so I stepped forward to explore my surroundings. Suddenly three small pillars rose up. One pillar was bearing a sword, one with a shield, and the last with a staff. I could feel power radiating off of them.
"Power sleeps within you… if you give it form, it will give you strength…" the same mysterious voice said in my head
Now I knew I wasn't imagining things. I walked toward the sword, and picked it up. I turned it over in my hands. It had a gold hilt with a black mouse head symbol on what looked like a ruby.
"The power of the warrior. Invincible courage. Incredible strength. Is this the power you seek?"
I thought it over, and then I nodded. In a flash of light, the sword disappeared.
"You path it set. Now, what will you give up in exchange?"
I looked at the remaining weapon. I walked toward the shield and picked it up. I examined it carefully. I was red a black, with the same emblem that the sword had, a black mouse head.
"The power of the guardian. Kindness to aid friends, a shield to repel all." You give up this power?"
I thought about it carefully, and I decided that I didn't want to give it up. I shook my head, and put it back on the pillar. Then I walked toward the staff. I picked it up and examined it. It had a green and yellow hilt, with a blue mouse headed shape on top.
"The power of the mystic. Inner strength, and staff of wonder and ruin. You give up this power?"
I nodded, and in a flash of light it disappeared. The platform shattered and I fell once more into the darkness. I landed on another platform, and I examined it. It was a picture of the chocolate haired guy, and the auburn haired girl holding hands.
I took a few steps forward, and a few black looking bugs appeared. They had yellow eyes, and completely black bodies. Two swords identical to the one I chose not so long ago appeared in my hands.I swung them with skill I never knew I had, and in a few minutes, the black things were gone.
Then steps appeared off of one of the sides of the platform. I walked up them cautiously. The stairs led me onto another platform. When I examined this one, I was shocked at what I saw. It was a picture of me holding the blonde haired girl by the waist. We were both smiling at something. As to what exactly, I was not sure.Then I noticed a beam of light in the center of the platform, and I walked toward it.
"The closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow becomes. But don't be afraid…" the mysterious voice echoed in my head
I looked backwards, and my shadow was growing longer, and coming to life. It was rising up, and looking down at me. It was at least thirty feet tall, with huge yellow eyes, a black body, and two wings that came out of his back.
He swung his arm down, and I dodged it. Then he shammed his fist into the ground and a dark portal formed. Out of the portal, came the little black bugs from earlier. They swarmed all over me. I couldn't breathe. Darkness was surrounding me.
"You four will have the greatest weapon of all." The voice finished and light surrounded me
I jolted up with a cold sweat. My alarm clock was screaming. It was 7:00 a.m. on Friday, and it was time to get ready for school.
"What a weird dream…" I mumbles to myself and I got out of bed
I felt stronger for some reason. I flexed my muscles, and sure enough, they were bigger than when I went to bed. I thought back to the dream.
"Nah, impossible." And I shook it from my mind
I went to my closet and picked a black T-shirt. Then I went to my dresser and got a pair of baggy tan pants. I threw them into the bathroom, and turned the water as hot as it would go. I scrubbed my body till it was red, and I massaged shampoo into my hair.
I rinsed off, and got out of the shower. Then I grabbed a towel and wiped the mirror off. Even when wet, my gravity defying, blonde, spiky hair still stood up. The room was still foggy from the heat. I brushed my teeth, put on deoderant, and got dressed.
Then I walked out of the bathroom and ran downstairs. My mom was still asleep and would be for a couple more hours. I put on some coffee, and made some bacon and eggs. When my breakfast was done, I put it on a plate, and poured my coffee into a mug.
I ate my breakfast fast, and I put my shoes on. I grabbed my bookbag, and ran to school. When I got there, I saw my friend pinned against the wall by Seifer, and I ran over to help.
"What's going on here?" I asked Seifer
"He owes me ten dollars, and he doesn't have it." Seifer answered still pinning my friend against the wall
"I told you, I'll get it. You just gotta give me more time!" he shouted franticly
"Here, now let him go." I said and I pulled ten dollars out of my wallet, and threw it at his feet
Seifer let my friend go, picked up the cash, and left without another word.
"Thanks man, you really saved my ass."
"No problem Pence, now we better get to class." I said, and just as I said it, the bell rang
Since we were already late, we walked slowly to our lockers. We got our books, and went our different directions to our classes. I had Myths and Legends first block, and it was the most boring class ever. I walked in the door to my class.
"Ah, Mr. Hikari, nice of you to join us." My teacher greet, I rolled my eyes, and took my seat
My teacher was going on about some legend about something called "The Heartless". Everyone in the class was half-asleep including me.
"Now these are what the heartless called "Shadows" are supposed to look like." And the teacher held up a drawing
My eyes were fixed on the drawing, and my mouth opened slightly. They resembled oversized black bugs, with yellow eyes. They were exactly how I saw them in my dream. But how could I have seen them in my dream, if I've never seen a picture of them before? Then, unwillingly, I fell asleep.
"Awaken Twilight Wielder. The time you are needed is both very far, and very near." The same voice from my dream said in my head
I awoke to the bell ringing. It was time for the next class. I gathered my books, and left for my locker. As I was walking down the hallway, I passed a group of girls. After I walked passed them, they just started giggling. I ahte it when a girl does that, and I just rolled my eyes, and continued on my way to my locker.
When I got to my locker, I saw my girlfriend waiting for me. Her name was Neveah. She had piercing green eyes, and long, black hair.I walked up to her and gave her a kiss on the cheek, and pulled away before any teachers saw.
"Hey Nevaeh." I greeted my girlfriend
"Hey baby." She greeted back
"So what's up?" I questioned since she was waiting for me by my locker
"Just seeing if we were still on for tonight." She answered
"Sorry, I can't. I got homework to catch up on." I lied since I really didn't feel like going out
"Alright, we'll just have to reschedule." She said and walked away to her next class
I got my books and headed for my next class, Science. I hate my tracher so much, she is so mean.
I've got to get out of class…
So when I got to my science class, I asked the teacher if I could go to the guidance counselor's office. could tell she didn't want to let me go, but school rules said you have to, so she signed me a pass.
I walked to the Guidance Counselor's room and knocked on the door. The guidance counselor's name was Mr. Ansem. He had long dark blonde hair, and a goatee.
"Enter." Was the reply and I opened the door
"Ah, Mr. Hikari. How can I help you?" Mr. Ansem greeted
Keep me in here until the end of second block… was what I was thinking, but instead I said…
"Well sir, I've been having these dreams lately." I said hoping this would get me out of class
"What were they about?" Mr. Ansem asked while leaning back in his chair, stroking his goatee, and his eyes were transfixed on me
"Well I'm falling through the sky, and I shoot into the ocean," Mr. Ansem's hands were gripping the arms of his chair, listening intently to my story "Then I land on a platform, and three pillars rise up. One has a sword, one has a shield, and the other has-"
"And the other has a staff on it." He finished for me
"How?…" I questioned but he picked up a phone, and dialed a few numbers
"Hello, King Mickey. You need to come to the school at once." He said, and he hung up the phone
I sat in my chair for around a hour thinking about what was happening. I only wanted to get out of second block, but that class was over. My thoughts were interrupted by the door opening.Both of us looked towards the door. A short mouse with a black cloak entered the room. He reminded me of the symbol on all three weapons in my dream. The mouse looked at me, then at Mr. Ansem
"Your majesty, what took you so long?" Mr. Ansem asked
"The usual. Gummi traffic was horrible, and I was being attacked. So why did you call me?" the mouse asked
"I think I might have found the one you've been looking for." He answered and glanced toward me, and so did the mouse
"Roxas describe your dream to him." Mr. Ansem said while still staring at me
I explained my dream to the mouse. He seemed very interested, and he didn't interrupt me at all.
"Roxas, I need you to come with me please." Mickey said when I was finished and he led me out the door
"Where are we going?" I asked curiously
"The Academy of Sunset Shores." He answered
He led me to a garage where a red and gold Gummi Ship was parked.
"We need to get you home so you can pack." Mickey said and he led me inside the ship
