Chapter 3: Prism Inverted:

It has been eight years since the night the Light fell to the Darkness. Coa and Gale have lived peaceful lives in Cerina, the capital city of Prism, a mystic country with many secrets and magics. Yet there is one dark saide to this utopia of Twilight Worlds…the heartless have already begun to claim it. The Darkness has launched an attack on all the worlds once more in hopes to drown out all Light and Twilight. Sigma has taken over the position of the Guardian of Darkness, and Tera Roth has hidden his identity as the Guardian of Twilight by joining and elite unit of Enigmatic Knights known as "The Guardian's of Laurenska". The fall of prism is quite near, and the Knights have set up stations in order to defeat the Heartless…but they are losing.

"Come on Coa lets get going or we'll be late. I told Gabrielle we'd meet them at five…its already five fifteen!"

Coa sighed and put his struggle bat down. He had been practicing for a few hours and a break couldn't hurt.

"Sorry, I'm just excited for the tournament tomorrow…Derrick and I are going all the way!"

A younger boy popped his head into the room at Coa's comment.

"You mean I'm going all the way!"

Coa ran and tackled the smaller boy, putting him into a head lock. Kylie just sighed and walked out of the room and the small cottage that Coa and Gale lived in.

"I don't get boys…especially Coa and Gale…"

She said with a sigh and a smile. She then heard a door slam behind her and the sound of running.

"Hey wait up, I was only teaching Gale that he'd never beat me that's all…we're already late, what would five more seconds do?"

Kylie just shook her head and ignored Coa all the way to the central fountain. It was the symbol of Cerina, made of blue crystal, and etched with the history of the city, any one who visited the city, visited the fountain before any thing else. They even held political meetings in front of it.

"Sorry were late you guys…"

Kylie said walking up to a pair of teens. The boy was wearing all red and black, with short, spiked silver hair and matching eyes. The girl next to him wore all white with light blue seams, and had dark brown hair with green eyes. She was beautiful, but to Coa, Kylie was the most beautiful girl any where, with her light brown hair, cheerful look, and Sapphire emerald mix eyes, she always managed to make him lose his breath.

"Coa here was to busy practicing to get here on time."

She said with a giggle. Derrick smiled and Gabrielle just shook her head.

"Don't worry about it, we were late to…for the same reason…"

Kylie and Gabrielle sighed in unison. Coa and Derrick just smiled and pounded fists.

"All the way right?"

"Yeah of course."

Derrick said in reply.

Suddenly the sky over head turned black and rain began to fall.

"Agh, I hate these random storms…"

Kylie said pulling her brown hood over her head. Derrick, Gabrielle and Coa also pulled up their hoods. Hoods were commonly put on to summer fashions in Cerina just for these random storms.

"Well let's just go back to my house."

Derrick said, standing up.

Coa was about to stand when a small black puddle caught his eye, but it wasn't a normal puddle…this thing was moving…and then a creature popped up from the ground. It had large yellow eyes, no visible nose or mouth, and two antennae on top of its head.

"What is that thing?"

He asked taking a step back. The others followed and stepped back as well. One of the knights that had been patrolling the fountain area saw their reaction and decided to investigate.

"Heartless!"

He yelled into a walkie-talkie before running in front of Coa and his friends.

The knight flicked his wrist and a blade appeared. It looked like a scythe crossed with a traditional sword…Derrick knew it to be a keyblade, because he spent a lot of time investigating the knights.

"Just stay back kids, I'll handle this." The tall blonde haired knight said as he charged the being, instantly killing it with one sweep of his blade.

"There…now get home all of you, we're going to have to put Cerina under lock down to make sure no more of them got in here.

Coa and his friends said their quick good-byes and each took off from home.

"Great…they found it."

Jack sighed as he sat on the fountain's edge.

The city was deemed safe two days later, all in all about thirty shadows had been found and terminated by the knights. Coa and Derrick had taken the opportunity to practice their struggle games.

"Can't I come? You know I'm good big brother!"

Gale yelled in protest as Coa walked outside, his struggle bat in hand.

"No Gale, you can't enter this tournament. Next week is when the kids tournament is, you'll just have to wait."

Gale sighed and stormed back in to the house, slamming the door.

"Sorry!"

Coa yelled as he started to walk to the fountain. Derrick and he had agreed the night before to meet up there an hour before their matches.

"Oh no you don't, not on my watch!"

A voice Coa faintly recognized rang through the air.

"What's going on?"

Coa asked a passerby, who just shook her head and kept walking the other direction. A few people had begun running, and Coa thought he heard one say "heartless" but wasn't to sure. He took off running to see what was happening. When he got to the fountain, he saw Jack fighting against some strange creatures…they were black like the other ones, but these were much bigger and seemed to be much smarted as well.

"Why did they send Neo-Shadows!"

He heard Jack sigh as his blade tore through one of the Neo-Shadows.

"Watch out!"

Coa cried as a neo-shadow sprang from the ground behind Jack. Jack was quick and managed to swing himself and his blade around in time to strike the heartless, killing it.

"Thanks kid, now get out of here!"

Jack shouted as he blocked a few attacks. Coa turned to run but hesitated, a large new creature began to rise from the ground. It was taller then many of the surrounding buildings, and had a huge gapping hole in the shape of a heart missing from its chest.

The Neo-Shadows quickly vanished into the ground and the Darkside raise one of its massive fists.

"No!"

Coa cried out as he took off running towards Jack…pushing him out of the way just in time, and taking the blow instead.

"Kid!"

There was a flash of light and the Darkside roared in pain at the blinding light. When it cleared, Coa was standing. He had put up his struggle bat hoping to block some of the attack, only now he wasn't holding a struggle bat. Instead a navy blue blade with navy sphere keychain attached to the handle. It was the Legendary Keyblade of the Twilight Realm.

"Whoa…"

Jack let out a low whistle. Coa stood in shock for a few moments, snapping back to reality when the Darkside raise its fist again to attack. This Time though Coa was ready and jumped back out of the way of the attack and then jumped onto the Darkside's massive arm, ran up it, and the struck the massive creature in the head, before jumping down and raising his hand to the being.

"Twilight!"

He shouted, and a navy sky blue orb shot from his hand and enveloped the Darkside, when the spell vanished only Coa and Jack stood in the center of town.

"Kid…wow…that was amazing…where did you learn to fight like that?"

Coa smirked.

"An old friend taught me, his name was Drystan. He taught me how to fight for a struggle match, and yeah I just practice all the time."

Jack was in shock, never once did he think a kid's game could actually teach some one how to fight.

"Well, where did you learn such a powerful magic?"

Coa looked up into the clear blue sky.

"Dunno…I've always been able to do it. My friends can use magic too…but they were taught by Drystan's wife, Marina."

Jack sighed.

"Well…your one lucky kid…strong magic, good form, and you can wield a keyblade…amazing."

Coa looked down at the blade in his hand.

"This is a keyblade? How did I get it….?

Jack held out his hand and Coa placed the Twilight blade in it.

"Keyblades come to those with strong hearts…usually during tough times, involving major courage…like when you willingly pushed me aside, to save me from the Darkside's attack…your struggle bat just transformed into it…"

Coa nodded.

"You have one too right?"

Jack nodded and handed Coa back his blade.

"Yeah…it's a requirement to have one in order to be a Knight. Speaking of which, why don't you join?"

Coa smiled and stepped back.

"Sorry…not interested, I don't think I'll ever use this thing again to be honest…"

Jack shook his head.

"Alright suit your self…I'll let you go then."

Coa nodded and held out his blade to Jack.

"No, it's yours, I can't take it. Seriously, it'll just end up in your hand again. Just wish for it to vanish, it'll go away."

Coa did and the Keyblade disappeared.

"Now if you ever need it, just think about it being in your hand."

"Okay…thanks,"

Coa said as he began to walk away. Derrick had just got to the fountain.

"Wait, your name kid...what's your name?"

Coa turned around.

"Coa…Coa Barton. See ya!'

Coa ran to Derrick and began to tell him the whole story.

"Coa Barton…we'll meet again someday…after I tell Rider about you, he'll defiantly want you in the Enigmatic Knight's ranks."

Jack said under his breath as he watched the two boys walk away.
