Kingdom Hearts: Guardians of Tomorrow
Here are the first five OC's! Hope you enjoy! *updated*
Chapter One: The Search: Part One
Port Royal
"Watch it," someone snarled.
The last time he was in this world it was crawling with undead pirates. Sora thought to himself remembering the experience of meeting a skeleton pirate.
"Bugger off!" Another pedestrian sneered.
Sora thought to himself, the whole reason he came here was to look around and find an apprentice and he'd do so until he found one. He thought that this place of all places would have someone with the right motivation to train, and well, since Sora hadn't been there in a while he'd thought it would be fun to explore around for old time sakes. As he passed by the old buildings and docks he felt like in another life he could be a great pirate.
Sora's imagination ran wild with the thought of swashbuckling pirates, long adventures, and all that shiny loot!
Sora's daydream of Treasure Island comes to an end when he heard shots fired. He looked over towards the commotion and saw a man in a military red coat with the classic white wig holding a musket into the air. Even though shots were fired the two pirates continued to fight each other. Sora, being Sora, decided to intervene.
"Hey knock it off!" He called out, summoning the Kingdom Key. The two men went on as if they didn't hear him. "I said cut it out!" Sora exclaimed a little louder.
Suddenly, the Keyblade was snatched away from his hands and he turned to see a boy around sixteen years old with short, curly brown hair and sun-kissed skin, running away, Keyblade in hand.
Sora just watched blankly, too surprised to even react to the situation that just occurred. All Sora could manage out was, "H-HEY!" However, he patiently waited for his Keyblade to return. "Any second now." Sora thought to himself.
He looked at his hand then at the figure running off to the distance, and then back to his hand and then also back to the figure. "Why isn't it returning!?" he exclaimed.
The Keyblade returned to his hand after a minute passed. The boy's figure comes to a halt and spun around towards Sora in confusion. "Bloody Hell?!" the boy says as he sprinted off in the direction he was heading.
Sora dismissed his blade, forgetting about the two men who he was originally trying to confront, and chased after the boy. The lad was quick but Sora gains on him rapidly. The boy seemed to take note of this and makes an abrupt turn to the right. Sora skidded to a stop and changed course.
The boy took a harsh left and Sora soon followed only to see a group of children pirate wannabes in a dead end.
Sora watched the group of children wield broken glass bottles and he began to back away, but as soon as he did he noticed two come up from behind him. Sora finally found himself surrounded in an alley by a group of five young kids including the teen.
The teen placed his hands on his knees and huffed for a bit, before standing up, as he wiped the sweat from his face. "Yo-ho-ho! You're fast ol' man!"
"Hey!" Sora said offended. "I'm only twenty… something!"
One of the kids snickered. "If you be ask'n me, that's pretty old." The group belted out a laugh.
The teen swaggered up to the Keyblade master and said, "Why don't ya cough up that fancy key ya got there."
Sora eyed the sixteen-year-old who, by the way, he doesn't even have to look down far to meet his eyes. Shrugging his shoulders Sora replied, "Sorry I couldn't even if I tried."
"Cap'n Masen, sir!" A freckled toddler said tugging on the teen's pant leg. "We should mak em' walk the plank!" The group of kids cheered "The plank" in unison.
Masen grinned a crooked smile then turned back to Sora. "How 'bout it then, ol' man?"
Radiant Garden
Riku and Terra were walking downtown around Central Square, they had spent the whole day catching up with each other. Terra then turned to Riku and said, "I need to go and see someone, I made a promise to them a while back, but today has been fun." Riku nodded and waved to his friend.
As he watched Terra leave, Riku sighed, shoving his hands into his pockets. Riku walked on, might as well continue his search. He honestly had no idea where to even start as he looked around the crowd of townspeople who passed by him.
His eyes spotted a girl sitting alone on one of the staircases that led to the entryway of the Outer Gardens. Out of all the townspeople walking around the square, she seemed to stand out a little more than the others. She had long, wavy, dark purple hair, that ran slightly past her shoulders, and fair skin. She wore a long-sleeved light purple shirt with a V-neck, and golden trims around the collar and, sleeves, and bottom, dark blue shorts that end just above her knees, white ankle socks, and white and purple slip-on shoes with light blue laces.
As he walked closer he caught the faintest familiar sensation of the darkness he knew so well. He knew it had to be someone from the surrounding area, so he glanced around once more taking a closer look at those amongst him.
The girl who had stood out more had her face lowered as if she was struggling to concentrate, perhaps this could be the culprit who he sensed the darkness from. Riku sat down a good distance from her and asked, "Are you okay?"
The girl looked up, as she does her dark brown eyes shine with surprise. "Uh… I'm fine, thank you." She replied politely.
Riku noticed the two-inched scar on her left cheek, part of him wanted to ask about it but, the other part of him knew it was rude of him to mention so straightforwardly. "Are you sure?" he asked.
"Yeah, I'm sure." The girl said. "May I ask why you're sitting here if that's not too rude?"
"No reason, no reason, just saw someone who looked like they were struggling and thought I'd asked if they are alright." He responded casually.
"Oh, okay then."
They were both quiet for some time, the atmosphere was slightly awkward, to say the least.
"It is okay for me to sit here, right?" He asked a little uncomfortable.
"Uh, no it's alright."
Riku nodded and shrugged. "Alright, could I ask if why are you sitting by yourself in Radiant Garden of all places?"
The girl looked down, possibly contemplating her choice of words, making the situation more awkward.
Suddenly Sora's stupid grinning face popped into Riku's head and he closed his eyes. "What would Sora do?" Riku asked himself. He snapped his fingers. "Well see you're not sitting by yourself, now right? I'm here now so don't worry about it!" Internally Riku's mind was shouting "Stupid, stupid, stupid!"
The girl blinked slowly and then chuckled softly. "You seem nice. I guess I'll introduce myself since you'll be sitting here for a while I presume?"
Riku nodded. "I should use Sora tactics more often." He thought to himself.
"I'm Camille," she said as she stuck her hand out.
Riku returned the handshake. "The name's Riku. I know it's an odd introduction but it's nice to meet you."
"Same to you," she said.
Riku smiled just the slightest and said, "In all seriousness, the reason I sat down here was because I sense a power from within you that reminds me of myself."
Camille's hand retracts, and she starts to fidget a little, sensing her uneasiness he said. "It's alright you don't have to explain anything to me, but I am someone who would be able to help you help yourself, and you don't have to be afraid of that…if this is something you want to do then if you would like too you could become my apprentice. The choice is up to you."
Radiant Garden
After Terra and Riku went their separate ways, Terra decided to head to Merlin's where the HBRC crew hung out, and would likely find the Keyblade wielder he met there. As he was on his way Terra thought about the time when he had first met her…
Flashback: Four Years Ago A few months after the war, Terra decided that after years of being in darkness and under Xehanort's control he thought he could use more training. He was out doing some errands for Merlin when suddenly the peaceful atmosphere seemed to change and he saw a crowd running in his direction. The crowd cried out in panic, clearly frightened as they ran past him. "What's going on?" Terra suddenly felt the ground begin to rumble. He looked up to see a swarm of shadow heartless traveling in a wave-like pattern in the sky. It was a demon Tide heartless. Summoning his Keyblade Earthshaker, Terra ran in the direction where the heartless were coming from. When Terra arrived in Central Square, he came just in time to see a young girl with, long, wavy, blonde hair, tied up into a ponytail with a red ribbon, and pale skin standing before the Demon Tide, a pole raised up in defense in her hands.
Terra stared at her with a look of shock. "Is she planning on fighting it alone?' He noticed the Demon Tide's eyes suddenly glowed red; signaling its time to strike. Before Terra could react, the girl dashed towards the hoard of heartless, raised the pole and struck. As soon as she did the pole began to shine within a bright light and abruptly transforms into a Keyblade, shocking the young master. Using all her strength the girl swung the Keyblade successfully, hitting the Demon Tide and defeating it. The heartless faded in a mist of smoke. Terra stared at the young girl in awe and wonder. "She can wield a Keyblade!" he thought to himself as he started to walk toward her. The girl examined the Keyblade in amazement before noticing Terra walking up to her. She looked up at him with miss matched eyes; her right eye blue and the left one a gold. Terra looked at the girl, and the girl turned to looks at him. Noticing he too, wielded something similar. The girl caught Terra's eyes and said, "Can you teach me?"
Flashback End
Terra walked up to Merlin's house and before he could knock, the door opened to reveal a now eighteen-year-old Sunniva. Her blonde hair was still long and wavy and kept tied up with a red ribbon. She wore a short-sleeved, red cropped jacket over a brown cropped top, brown shorts, a pink fringed scarf, black gloves and knee-high boots and a large tan belt with a tan satchel hanging on the right side. Her heterochromatic eyes lit up with excitement at the sight of the Keyblade master.
"Master Terra!" Sunniva exclaimed as she threw herself at the master, wrapping her arms around him in a tight embrace, like a sister to an older brother. Terra patted her head and held her at a distance. "Hey, Sunniva."
"So, you're finally here to train me, right?" excitement showing clearly in her eyes.
Terra smiled at his new apprentice, ready to start this new journey. "Yep!"
Agrabah
Aqua walked through the main street of Agrabah. It was bustling with street performers, dancers and people who sold various items of all kinds. Some tried to sell her items, like jewels or food, but she politely declined all offered to her.
"Hold it you little thief!" A voice roared through the crowd.
Aqua turns and spots two people struggling in the crowd. A burly salesman with a black beard and beady eyes is grabbing a young girl by the arm. She looks no older then fifteen-years-old with light skin and long, brown hair that reaches her mid back. She is barefoot, and dressed in a red sleeveless top, baggy
cream-colored pants that have a few colorful patches that more than likely are covering holes within them, a turquoise sash around her waist and silver hoop earrings.
The girl had an apple in her hand. She desperately tried to get out of the man's grasp but failed as she seems too weak and malnourished to even be able to. The man snatched the apple out of the girl's hand and roughly shoved her to the ground. The girl got up and quickly scurried off into the crowd. "And stay away you filthy little street mouse!" the man shouted.
Aqua looked at the area where the girl ran off to and decided to follow her. She found the girl in an alley, back against a wall as she is breathing heavily; her cheeks red from the heat and exhaustion.
The blue-haired master walked up and kneeled down to the girl's side and gently reached out for her shoulder. The girl flinched and looked up at Aqua with sullen blue eyes.
"It's alright. I'm not going to hurt you." Aqua said with a reassuring smile. "Are you alright?"
The girl groaned and clutched her stomach. "So…hungry..." She croaked.
Smiling, Aqua took out an apple from her pocket and handed it out to the girl. "Here."
The girl's blue eyes lit up and she smiled. "Thank you!" She said gratefully.
Aqua hums softly as she thought about the time she was found by Master Eraqus and how he helped her out.
"What's your name?" she asked as the girl took a bite of her apple.
"My name is Rosilen." The girl replied.
"That's a pretty name," Aqua said smiling. "I'm Aqua."
Rosilen breaks into a toothy grin. "Aw, thanks miss! Your name's pretty too!" she said before taking another bite of her apple.
As the girl continued to bite into the apple, Aqua pondered if the girl had a home and family to go to. Where does she stay?
Aqua decided to ask, "Do you have any place to stay?"
The girl averted her gaze and said, "I go around from place to place…"
Without even explaining in further detail, Aqua seems to understand Rosilen, having been there herself in her younger her years.
Aqua stood up, extending her hand out and smiled. "Well, I know a place where you can stay and feel welcomed." She said. "Would you like that?"
Rosilen stared at her hand for some time, probably weighing the positives and negatives and as if making her decision, took Aqua's hand.
Atlantis
"WATCH OUT!" A scream could be heard from above. Roxas just barely had time to duck when a stone flying fish came inches from where his head was just at. "Sorry about that!" A green haired boy called out from atop it as flies away.
"Wow, I didn't know they just let anyone fly those things." Roxas muttered to himself.
Why was he in the lost city of Atlantis one may ask? Well, Roxas had pondered this question too. A week ago, from today he and all the fellow Keyblade wielders had been called to Yensid's and were suggested to take on apprentices of their own. And so that night Roxas had gone home and thought about it. And thought about, and thought, and thought, and thought.
He didn't know where to begin, nor was he sure he wanted to take on some child and "Show them the way." as Sora had put it.
Terra and Riku had apprentices within the first day of hearing about it. Even Sora had managed to find one within a day or two.
Roxas did not feel he was the best mentor but he could understand the need for a new age of wielders. So, two days ago he had decided to take the masters advice and simply travel to places. "You'd be surprised how easy it is to just happen upon some child who will have the qualifications to become a guardian." He had said.
Right? Just "happen upon", It's a little unlikely but Roxas wasn't sure of how else he could possibly go about this. So, he visited world after world just walking around, hoping a possible apprentice would stumble their way into his life. Even though he still wasn't the most confident in his teaching, he still didn't want to be the only one without an apprentice. I guess the Sora in him makes him childish every now and then.
After walking about the amazing city, he decided to get some food. "Might as well" he had thought, the scenery was gorgeous here and the food was...editable. The people here were all so lively and kind, it makes him think he should bring Sora here sometime. Yeah, he should bring him and the others here.
Roxas chuckled out loud and turned to go when his ears happen to catch a phrase near him.
"A large key!" a voice could be heard in the crowd. Roxas turned fast, trying to determine where the voice came from. It was high pitched, so he was more than likely looking for a small child.
"Auntie Audrey, can we go see it!" the voice said again. There, a young girl who looks no older than 10 or so who was jumping up and down. Roxas tried navigating through the crowd of people. He couldn't believe he "just so happened" to hear something like this. The girl and the two women with her begin to walk away, all Roxas could think of is, he has to follow them.
And so, he carefully stalked the girls for what felt like an hour. "What has my life become." He muttered to himself. The three girls call out someone, "Enzo". A small boy walks into view. He has a curly mass of olive green hair that sort ombre fades into a lighter shade olive green at the ends of his curls.
"Was that the same one I saw on those flying fish?" Roxas pondered momentarily. The boy answered back and they chat amongst themselves. As the boy got closer, Roxas could sense a power within him. Is he a wielder too? Then why couldn't Roxas sense it before? Just then the word "key" comes up in their conversation. They are mentioning the key from before!
"You what?!" Yelled the older woman with them. "How!?"
"What really, lemme see, lemme see!" yelled the young girl. The boy grins and steps back producing a keyblade with a flame design. The girls all gasped in surprise. "That's so cool!" yelled the younger girl.
This is it, this is what Roxas has been looking for. Roxas walked up to them, "So you can wield a Keyblade." He said to the boy; it was less of a question and more of a statement. Blue eyes stared into orange ones; the boy's confused expression told all Roxas needs to know but one thing. "How about we have a conversation over this with some ice-cream?"
