Kingdom Hearts: The New Master

Chapter 3: The Awakening


This place looked exactly like the game, one big platform in a giant pit of darkness; when I stepped forward three lights appeared in front of me, each with a different weapon. On the right was a shield, there was a staff on the left, and in the middle was a sword. "Wait, I got a keyblade so I don't need those... what the?"

I can't summon my keyblade, how come? "If you want to summon the keyblade, you must first complete your awakening."

Where did that voice come from, forget it no one figures it out anyway; but right when I thought my luck was bad enough, a bunch of shadow heartless start appearing. What am I supposed to do without a weapon? "Choose between the three."

That voice again. Well, since I usually choose this weapon I quickly grab the sword and get into a battle stance. "I guess this'll have to do!"

It wasn't that hard to beat these guys, since their the weakest heartless they only took a minute to beat. I feel kind of empty without my keyblade, but this sword will do nicely. "Where do I go now?"

Just like that a door appeared in front of me, I knew that's where I nedded to go... but I made sure to get the treasure that was in the area. The next area I reached was a little different; there were two more platforms, and glass staircases connecting them. It didn't take long to get to the end, there were some heartless but I took them down easily. When I opened the door I found mayself standing on another platform with nothing there.

"You're almost ready to awaken." The voice explained "But, why do you want to awaken your true power?"

Why, that's a good question. I still don't know why I'm even here in the first place, is it for excitement, or just for some excuse to have fun? No, people are in danger because of the heartless, and there's some kind of connection between me and the unversed. I think I finally know why. "I want to awaken so I can help the worlds, and to also figure out why I'm here."

"A very interesting answer, will you find your answer?" The voice asked "Only time will tell... but that time will only happen if you can complete this test."

I felt a dark presence come from behind me, and when I turned around a giant heartless appeared. It was darkside; a giant heartless with claws, small black wings, and hair that covered nearly it's whole face. I fell into a sword stance and said "I knew you would show up sooner or later, let's go!"

I jumped into the air to attack its head, but it swung it's arm and slammed me to the ground; it attacked again so I quickly dodged so I wouldn't get hurt, since I couldn't reach its head I went for it's hands. It looked like it was working but then the darkside launched a barrage of energy spheres from it's chest. That's when idea came into my head, just like in muramasa: the demon blade I used my sword to reflect the spheres right back at it's head to cause extra damage. "Yeah take that... what the!?"

I should've known, just like the game the sword disappeared right when it looked like I won; I dodged the darkside's arms, what am I gonna do? I got no weapon, no anything... no, I won't let it end here! "If I can't use a sword... then I'll take you down with my bare hands!"

I launched straight to his face and gave him my strongest punch, a light engulfed me right after I made contact; I had to close my eyes just so I wouldn't go blind, but when I opened them I found myself back in Yen Sid's room. "You have finally awakened."

"Awakened as what?" I asked

"A keyblade master."

I think I understand now, when I opened my hand my keyblade appeared instantly; I actually felt more connected to it, like we were one and the same.

"Chosen weilder of the keyblade, I ask you for a favor." Yen Sid announced "Destroy all of the unversed."

If I'm the cause of them appearing, then I have to fix my mess. "I will, you have my word. But what are the unversed anyway?"

"You said that they're not like the heartless or nobodies correct?" He asked "But they are actually the foundation of both creatures, meaning that the unversed are their beginning."

So the unversed are like the heartless and nobodies larval state, that answers my question. Yen Sid then asked "Now then, you have awakened to one of your powers correct?"

"Power... you mean how I stop time?"

"Yes, that technique is part of your style of fighting." Yen Sid answered "You have more than one style, but you must awaken to them on your own."

I get it, like that 'speed rave' style Ven uses in the game. "Cool, I think I'll call it quicksilver."

"Very well, as you know your keyblade has the ability to take you to different worlds." He explained "With that you can find and defeat any of the unversed you find."

"Got it."

"Another thing, you must not break the laws of the world." He continued "As a master, you must protect the world order."

Order? Didn't Sora break that law a couple of times, fine then. "I won't break the worlds law."

I pointed the black beast at a wall and it formed a corridor of light, right before I entered I asked "Is there anything else I might need to know?"

"Yes, even though Xehanort is gone it has been said that his apprentice still lives." He answered

"Great, would by any chance I'd be able to meet Sora?"

"Yes."

Awesome, I hope I'll see him soon. "Alright, thank you master Yen Sid. I won't let you down."

Unlike before I walked into light this time, but when I went through I found myself in space; I thought I wasn't gonna be able to breathe, but it turns out I could. "I guess this world is different than the space back home."

"Freeze!"

I took out my keyblade and attacked, but turns out it wasn't the unversed; it was some lizard guy holding a laser gun, I tried to apologize but more people came and surrounded me with guns. "Ok, bring it..."

I just remembered Yen Sid's words about not breaking the worlds laws; I didn't like it but I stopped my attack and waited for something to happen.

Another lizard approached me and said "Put down your weapon and put your hands in the air!"

So I dismissed my keyblade and did as he told me to, only to get handcuffed and thrown into a ship that I could tell was made for criminals. Since I was the only one in there I said "Just got here and I'm already arrested. Worst... World... Ever!"
