Author's Notes: I don't own Kingdom Hearts nor its franchise - it belongs to Tetsuya Nomura! I only own my OCs!
Chapter 1 - The Mysterious Intruder.
A few hours later after the sun had set over the horizon of Orange Beach. As Izzy predicted correctly, her mom wouldn't be back until the next morning. The same could be said for Danni and Micah's parents... the three friends were free to go and do some stargazing.
Izzy was charge of carrying the food and drink supplies to the beach while Micah was holding some blankets in case the weather turned bad. As for Danni... she had the most important item of the stargazing trip - the telescope.
The three friends knew where exactly they should set up camp in order to do the stargazing activity... and just in case they decided to sleep if it got too late to return home.
Soon, they reached their destination - a little shack which was a little bit worn down, but still hospitable and comfy enough to fit Izzy and her friends. Rumor has it that either the black-haired girl's mother or Danni's parents built it when they were younger... But unfortunately, no one knew the truth.
Izzy turned to look at her friends. "Whelp, gang - We've arrived at last. Let's see up the stuff so we can get on with the stargazing!" She clapped in an excited tone.
Danni giggled. "Jeez, Iz. We're just doing some stargazing tonight. Top it down a notch, girl." She said whilst helping Micah set up the blankets on the warm sandy beach.
Izzy rolled her eyes at this - why couldn't Danni just understand how important stargazing was to her...
After putting every blanket on the sand, Micah sat down and giggled with a clap. Meanwhile, Izzy and Danni were currently setting up the telescope. The ginger-haired girl told her friend that they should really be careful since it was a birthday gift. Danni had gotten it last year since she was a big fan of stargazing.
After three or four minutes of struggling, Izzy and Danni had managed to set up the telescope. Now the only thing left to do was adjust the size and destination settings. Danni was in charge of that whilst Izzy sat down next to Micah and started ruffling his hair.
Half an hour later, Danni had managed to set the settings in the correct order after one or two miserable failures. The ginger sat next to her little brother and enjoyed her dinner alongside Micah and Izzy who were eating as well.
Soon, they laid on the blankets and began watching the stars - it was a peaceful and clear night. No rain or thunderstorm in sight...
Izzy couldn't help but smile as she looked at the stars that decorated the night sky. "Such a wonderful night... isn't it guys?" She asked with a sigh.
Danni nodded. "Yep. I don't know why... but the stars tonight are so mesmerizing." She admitted.
Izzy was surprised at what Danni said. "That's the first time I'm hearing you say that word - mesmerizing. Why's that?" The black-haired girl asked as she looked at her.
"Hmmm..." Danni's finger was on her chin as she started to wonder why she even said the word "mesmerizing" in the first place. "I guess... the words came out of my mouth unexpectedly?" She admitted.
"Oh..." Izzy replied before looking at the stars yet again.
"Say, big sis." Micah began.
Danni looked at him. "Yea, Micah?" She asked curiously wondering what her little brother wanted.
"Do... you know what those pretty stars are made of?" Micah asked.
"Well..." Danni scratched the back of her head due to not having a proper answer to give to her brother. She then realized something about his question. "Wait... little bro, are you thinking about the thing that Leon said in KH?" She asked.
Micah nodded slowly and uneasy. Danni on the other hand just giggled.
"Micah, it isn't true. It's just a fake theory that Nomura came up to make the game more popular. There's no life or world on them." Danni explained.
"Oh... still, don't you wish it was true?" Micah asked.
Danni gave a small nod. "If only it was true - we could go to different worlds and battle the Heartless."
"And also meet the Disney characters!" Micah yelled excitedly.
Danni nodded with a smile - she knew that Micah had a deep weakness for the Disney franchise and its characters. The boy hoped that he would be able to visit one of the different Disneyland theme parks and meet his idols one day...
However... what Micah didn't know was that he would meet his idols soon enough. But not in a way that he was expecting...
As Danni and Micah continued to talk whilst watching the stars, Izzy was quiet. She was starting to doze off due to the early evening and watching the stars.
As her eyes began to slowly close, she started to think on something that Micah said just now. "I wonder if Micah's words are true - are there different worlds on the stars in the universe? It's impossible... Like Danni said, it's just a theory that Nomura came up to make the game more interesting. Still, I can't help but wonder if it-" *YAWN* I feel s-so s-sleepy right now... I w-wanna t-take a n-na-" Izzy didn't finish her thoughts as she fell into a deep slumber without Danni and Micah noticing.
(In the dreamworld...)
Izzy opened her eyes slowly whilst giving out a loud yawn. She sat up and scratched the back of head. She looked around the area while still feeling half-asleep. What an interesting grassy field and- Wait, what!?
Izzy's eyes widened in shock - where was she? This wasn't the beach that she was currently laying on or taking a small nap. She was in some kind of grassy field where the sky was blue. It wasn't night... at all.
Questions filled Izzy's mind - Where was she? How did she get here? What force brought her to this field? More importantly, where were Danni and Micah?
She got off the grassy field and looked around for answers to her questions. Izzy spotted a crossed pathway that was shaped like an X with roads leading to unknown locations.
The black-haired teenager walked forward away from the grassy field. Stopping at the center of the crossed pathway, she looked around for any signs of Danni or Micah. No such luck...
"Danni? Micah? Where are you two? Yell if you are both nearby!" Izzy called out to the siblings. She was hoping that they would to hear her voice and come running to her.
Izzy waited - a minute or two. No one came to her aid... no Danni or Micah. The black-haired girl was disappointed that her two friends were nowhere to be found...
She sighed and looked at the ground. "Danni... Micah... where are you two?" She asked quietly.
"Not in this fine day, I assure you." A unknown voice responded to Izzy.
Izzy was surprised when she heard another voice. Turning around behind her, the black-haired girl saw something that she wasn't expecting - an unknown someone wearing a brown-hooded robe.
Izzy's eyes widened in shock - where did this robe come from?
"W-who are you...?" Izzy asked slowly, but remaining on guard just in case the robed figure tried something.
"I've come to see you, dear Isabella." The robed figure spoke up - its voice seemed like that of a young woman speaking. What surprised Izzy was her name being spoken by the mysterious stranger.
"H-how... did you know my name?" Izzy asked suspiciously.
"I know everything that there is to know about you, dear Isabella. I've come to bring you a warning - your reality has been connected to ours." The female figure in the robe stated.
Izzy was surprised at her words. Her reality was connected? What did that even- Wait. Those words that the robe said... They sounded very similar to what Ansem - The Seeker of Darkness told Sora back on Destiny Island. Was this robe figure really...?
No. It couldn't be him - this couldn't be happening... besides, when did Ansem - The Seeker of Darkness sounded like a young woman?
"C-cut the crap! Stop spouting nonsense! Where did you even come from and who are you?" She demanded.
"Hmph. Ignorant and naive... just like that girl I met on the island." The robed figure replied.
Izzy wasn't satisfied with the mysterious stranger's avoidance of her questions. "You aren't really answering my questions, you know?"
"There is so very much to learn, Isabella Garcia. You understand so little... just like the girl." The robed figure replied.
"What girl!? What are you talking about!?" Izzy demanded. She was getting angry at not receiving proper answers.
"A meaningless effort. One who knows nothing can understand nothing. Now then..." The robed figure raised her hands and summoned a huge gust of winds.
She pointed and launched them at Izzy who was trying to hold her ground against the robed figure's wind attack.
"It's time for you to witness the destruction of your world. Your time has come, Isabella Garcia... Your destiny is tied to darkness. You cannot change or escape your fate. Goodbye for now!" She declared and sent out a huge wind tornado towards Izzy.
She got caught into it and was spinning around. Izzy did her best to find a way out of the torando... unfortunately, no such luck. Soon, the wind tornado launched her into the air and unknowingly into oblivion.
The robed figure smiled from behind her hood and summoned a purple-like portal. Before walking into it, she turned and looked at the still spinning tornado. "Enjoy the last few moments of your life, Isabella Garcia. Soon, the darkness will engulf you... and your heart will be mine. I look forward to seeing you serve me as my slave. Until we meet again in the darkness..."
The robed figure walked into the portal which soon closed and the tornado died down...
