Kingdom Hearts: His True Destiny

Chapter 1: The Battle of the Heart

Kingdom Hearts was quiet for once this evening. Kira, the queen, had finished looking over the worlds, making sure all were at peace. Then her focus would turn to another world, a world she had created. Using her magic she was able to peek into the world, or in her case, watch over her son. Sora never left Kira's mind, not even for a second.

When the queen looked into her son's new world, she found him outside with Riku by the ocean. She smiled at the sight, Riku had been the small boy the woman had carried, while talking to Sora's adoptive mother. It had turned out the two were best friends and after a few meetings, the boys became fast friends as well.

"Enjoy your peace my son. For even I do not know when he will strike again."

Kira had been looking for her old friend, now enemy for years. He showed no signs anywhere, even the strange creatures Ara and herself had fought were gone. She couldn't understand it.

"Well looks like tomorrow I will have to go and see the old wizard. No matter how much I don't want to."

She pushed it to the back of her mind and returned to Sora's world, Destiny Islands. Sora had gone back to his home and his adoptive mother had tucked him into bed. She read him a story, to which he fell asleep to. Kira watched as she kissed him and turned off the lights, then left the room. The queen felt a little jealous of the woman, she had what she wanted, a life with her son. Kira knew it was for the best though, how could she ever put her son in danger? She would never let that happen, not again did she want to see someone she loved die in front of her.

Kira had dispelled the magic and decided to get some rest herself. Tomorrow she was about to go to the very last place she'd ever want to go, Mysterious Tower.

"Why Kira, I'd thought you had disappeared. I haven't heard from you in such a long time." An elderly voice spoke

Kira had just entered the tower of her least favorite wizard, Master Yen Sid. The two got into a spat a few years ago before Ara went up against Xehanort.

"Hello Yen Sid, it has been a while." Kira spoke intentionally leaving out his title as master.

The old wizard however took no offense to her words. He had nothing against the girl, she had been through far too much and had forgotten their old spat. The master still felt bad about what he said and knew deep down that she must have been too.

"What can I help you with my dear?"

"I have been trying to find him for years Yen Sid. I just don't know what else I can do. All this power and still I feel useless, how can that be?"

The master could hear the fear and sadness in her voice. He knew about her and the keyblade master, about what they had been through. He was sad to find out that Ara had died in the battle against their now ex-friend.

"My dear if you have tried and found nothing, then there is nothing more you can do. I have kept an eye out myself and all is well for the time being. Relax some Kira, I can see all the stress and loss is getting to you."

Kira knew he was only talking about Ara. The old wizard still had no idea about Sora or the fact that they even had a child.

"I can't, not until I know where he is, not until he is finally gone and no longer a threat to me. He took Ara away from me, and he won't stop until he finally has me as well."

Master Yen Sid stood up and walked over beside the queen. No one truly knew of the battle she had endured. It was told about but people took it as a legend or a story for children. One of the fairies in the tower even said that the story had a new twist to it. She told him the new version of the story:

"The Queen of Kingdom Hearts had a son with a powerful Keyblade Master, and that the queen and the keyblader had battled against an evil being. They stopped him but at the cost of the Keyblade Master's life. The queen was then forced to hide her son and return to her castle to keep watch over every world, then look for the evil being. Though some say she died in search and now their son was the only one left who could stop him."

He found this story both true and false. The wizard didn't think that the two even had a son or any child for that matter. Also he knew Ara had been named a Keyblade Master by Master Eraqus himself. Only to then pass his master's abilities which would make him very powerful. This he found could be true to the story, however one part of the story he could not figure out. The Queen of Kingdom Hearts. Sure it has been said a long time ago that it once held a queen but not recently. The kingdom became a thing of its own. So when the legend mentioned the queen he couldn't believe how someone could even make that up. Sure Kira was a powerful girl and was a princess of heart but the missing Queen of Kingdom Hearts, not likely.

"Everything will be known soon. I can feel it Kira. Soon very soon will we have an answer to it all."

Kira thanked him and left back to her kingdom leaving the master to his own thoughts. She needed to know what was going to happen and could sense an evil presence coming closer.

"Ven!" a girl cried out.

They had been in a battle against a person named Xehanort and his apprentice Vanitas. The girl Aqua, a blue haired and blue-eyed girl was fighting along her friends, Ventus, a spiky blonde boy with blue eyes as well, and Terra, a man with jet black hair spiked back and dark eyes.

Aqua ran to the cliff when she was passed up by a familiar figure.

"Kira! Help Ven!"

Kira ran as fast as she could in her lion form towards the cliff where her evil friend had the poor young boy hanging off the cliff. He held his head as Ventus struggled to free himself.

"Kira when will you learn."

He then crushed Ven's helmet and froze him with his armor, sending him falling off the cliff. The queen saw the sight and quickly climbed up and snagged the boy before he could it the ground. She gave him to Aqua, who was waiting not too far from her.

"You cannot win."

Kira heard him but ignored his comment. She was too busy looking over the young boy.

"It's okay he just needs to thaw out." Aqua told Kira.

The queen nodded and her friend. She met this trio about a couple of months ago, not too long after her run in with Yen Sid. Helping them seemed right and Kira knew sooner or later they would face her enemy. As queen she found it in her nature to help, even if she didn't need or have to. They all grew on her, especially Ventus, the boy reminded her of Sora.

"I'll go help Terra then."

However before she could make a move towards the cliff Vanitas stopped her.

"I'd get the hell out of my way if I were you." The queen threatened the boy.

He laughed at her and shook his head no. Then summoned his keyblade.

"No one interferes with master's plans."

He charged at Kira but she grew tired of his attacks and piled him into the ground. She had him pinned down, snarling at the boy. The queen then used her paws to remove the helmet, that had been concealing his face. When she looked back to him her eyes widened in shock. He had the same spiky hair Ara and Sora had. The same exact features of the two. The only difference she could find was that his hair was jet black and his eyes were amber, like Xehanort.

"What's the matter? Go ahead finish me!" he yelled to her.

The queen wanted to but she couldn't. He looked too much like Ara and her son, it wasn't right in her heart. She knew it was probably a trick the evil man had played on her but she didn't care.

"No, I won't."

Vanitas couldn't believe what he heard. She was letting him go? For what purpose?

Kira then got off him and ran up the cliff to help Terra. Leaving Vanitas shocked and confused on the ground. Aqua looked over and noticed that Vanitas was still looking over to Kira. The girl summoned her keyblade, in case he attacked her or Ven, however he never moved.

The queen reached the top and tackled Xehanort to the ground. Terra ran over to help her but he was too slow. The man threw her off and went after Terra again. Kira kept getting in the way keeping Terra out of danger. Finally Xehanort grew tired of his friend and threw her near the edge. Then quickly finished the job himself. Terra was now a part of Xehanort and Kira had failed again.

"How does it feel Kira? To know you have lost in this battle."

However she could barely hear his words. Her mind was foggy and she couldn't process anything. The world was going black and the only thing she could think of was Sora, her precious son.
