Chapter 2

Darkness Approaches

"Jax wake up! Jax wake up! Summers over. Its time to go to school."

Jax's grandma had reminded him that the fun and games had ended and it was back to boring old school again. Jax got out of bed and brushed his teeth. While brushing his teeth he thought about the dream he just had.

"Could it be true? Am I the last hope for the worlds survival? Nah it was just a dream, right?"

When Jax had finished eating his breakfast he picked his niece, Elsie, who had been screaming for him to carry her for the past 10 minutes. As he was holding her she grabbed something from inside his t-shirt. It was the keychain from his dream.

"What the-?!"

"Nice necklace. Did your boyfriend get that for you?" Chip, Jax's cousin, made fun of him.

"Ha ha very funny. When the heartless come for you don't come cryin to me."

"What?"

"Nothing."

"You get weirder and weirder everyday."

"Look who's talking?" The two began to argue. During the argument Chip's mom, Cyndi, had woken up to get ready for work. Jax never really got along with his aunt and cousin. Ever since Jax's parents disappeared when he was a kid he and his sister Jenny lived with their grandma Elsie and their aunt. His brother Nes lived with their other grandma Hazel while his older sister, Alessa, was in foster care. Now Alessa lives on her own with her son Stanley.

"Jax! Chip! SHUT UP ALREADY! Jax put your niece down and get ready for school! How long are you planning to take." Cyndi yelled at him.

Jax sighed and put his niece down, reegniting her anger and causing her to start her ear spliting scream again. "Chip take your time eating your cereal. We wouldn't want you choking."Cyndi rubbed her sons head.

"Yes we would."Jax coughed. Cyndi glared at him.


Jax was dressed and was waiting for his friend, Bella, to call. For the first time in his life Jax couldn't wait to go to school. He wanted to see his friends again and get out the house. The phone finally rang. As Jax got up he tripped on one of his niece's toys causing her to break out in laughter. He got up and picked up the phone. Bella had been waiting outside for him.

"Jax I think you should take an umbrella. It looks like its gonna rain." His grandma called to him as he left. Jax grabbed an umbrella that was lying against the hallway wall. When he got outside he saw the pitch black sky and Bella who was standing on the front porch.

"BOO!" Jax yelled from behind her.

She screamed. "Why would you do that?!" She punched Jax in the arm.

"Sorry." Jax rubbed his arm.

"Why is it so dark out? Its scary."Bella shuttered. The darkness reminded him of his dream.

"It's like something bad is gonna happen." She added.


On the train ride to school Jax showed Bella the keychain from his dreams. He told her everything that happened and what the king for told.

"It was just a dream. Don't worry about it. There's just a really bad storm coming. Which reminds me, you'd better hurry up after school. I don't want my hair getting all frizzy like last time."

Jax laughed nervously when he remembered how mad she got when he made her get soaked. "It can't just be a dream. How do you explain the keychain?" As he held it out the keychain disappeared and his keyblade returned in its place. The train came to a screeching halt and all the lights went out causing Bella to scream. A light shined from the keyblade revealing that everyone in the train was gone except for a hooded figure at the end of the cart. A heartless symbol hung around his neck.

"FIRE!" The hooded figure vanished and reappeared behind them. He pulled his hood down. His yellow eyes and silver hair glistened in the light of the keyblade.

"ILL Monster!" Bella shouted in disgust.

"Who are you?" Jax asked still holding the keyblade tight.

"Ansem, and you must be one of King Mickey's 'Last Hopes'. Join me and this world will be saved."

Jax didn't take a second to think. "NO!" He shouted as he ran towards the Seeker of Darkness.

"THEN DIE!" Ansem shouted as he threw Jax backwards. Bella helped Jax up as Ansem faded away and countless heartless jumped out of the shadows.

"Bella stay close to me. Here use my umbrella as a weapon." Jax handed Bella his huge umbrella and together they fought off the heartless in the train cart.

"Good Job." As Jax high fived his friend more heartless appeared.

"Come on we gotta go." He grabbed his friend and ran towards the next cart. Bella threw the broken umbrella at the heartless.

"Told you it wasn't a dream." Jax said as he sliced some heartless blocking their way.

"This isn't the time for I told you so's. What are we gonna do?" Bella asked staying close behind Jax.

"We're gonna run to the next station." Jax opened the final door and jumped into the tracks.

"Won't we get electrocuted?"

Jax rolled his eyes."Just stay away from the third rail." Bella jumped out the train and screamed when she saw a huge rat run pass her foot. "These NY animals aren't scared off anything." Jax laughed at her comment.

"Come on. I can see the light from here." Jax pulled her through the subway system following the light. Bella screamed again.

"Is it another rat?"

"No! Just run!" Behind them was at least a hundred heartless running after them. Bella and Jax ran as fast as they could until they finally reached the light. They climbed up onto the platform and ran out the train station. They were in Lower Manhattan about two blocks away from the Empire State Building. Jax broke the sign above the train exit and trapped the heartless inside.

"Where are we going?" Bella asked.

"I don't know but I have this feeling we should run this way."

"Jax!" Three girls who were being cornered by heartless called his name. They were his friends Mika, Cristi, and Danita. Using the last ounce of his magic he casted a fire attack at the heartless.

"Come on!" he ushered his friends to follow him.

He came to a halt in front of the Empire State Building realizing his family was there too. All of his loved ones were there. His grandma was holding his niece while his brother and two sisters entertained little Stanley who was crying.

"What are you guys doing here?" He asked his grandma.

"I don't know. I had this feeling I should come here."

"We had the same feeling."His siblings all said.

"Us too." The three girls he just rescued said.

"Like our hearts called us here." Jax said. He felt something tug him upwards. He began Floating up in the air as the ground around his loved ones suddenly vanished.

"No!" Jax shouted. They all fell into the dark abyss as Jax floated higher into the sky. He saw the fear in all there faces. His niece started to cry as his grandma held her tight. Aleesa held Stanley close to her as she fell further into the darkness. The four girls held each other in a group hug screaming as they fell through the darkness. Jenny and Nes had fallen through the darkness alone.

As they faded from his view Jax shouted." I'll find you where ever you may be and I'll make whoever is responsible for this pay!" They were gone. Jax wiped a tear off his face as he approached the top of the Empire State Building. Ansem was waiting there.

"You!" Jax tried to move towards him but the same force that pulled him this high keeped him still.

"Why are you doing this!" Jax shouted.

"Well for one the heart of the people in this fine world will make a great contribution to opening Kingdom Hearts and two someone wants to see you suffer."

"Who?!" As soon as he finished asking the question the force that was holding him up had let go and he fell into the dark abyss.

"You have a strong heart. It will make a great contribution to Kingdom Hearts once he destroys you!" Ansem shouted as Jax world had finally been destroyed.
