The First Journey.
This is going to be a rewritten story of the Kingdom Hearts: The Journey Begins.
If you guys are wondering why I deleted it, it's because I really didn't like how I written it at the beginning, like chapters one through twenty. The summary was bad, including the grammar, and I didn't want to spend my time rewrite a lot of chapters. So, that story is going to be deleted.
The grammar will be better than before, and the story is going to be different than the one I wrote. Again, this is a rewritten story.
One last thing before we jumped into the first chapter, I'm still making a Fem Sora X Riku pairing, and this story will be T-rated. But it might change into a M-rating.
Enjoy the chapter.

Chapter One: Prologue.
Darkness.
That word caused her whole body to shiver a bit. Oh, how she hated that word since she was four. She was never a big fan of the darkness, not one bit. The darkness always scared her, like a cat afraid of water.
But she can feel it, the darkness. It was around her, like an animal trap in a cage and never to be released, as she slowly sinks downwards, away from the warm light and into the cold shadows.
However, just when she can feel a slight bit of coldness in the darkness, a faint light reaches her, making her body warm and relax. Whenever she sees or feels the light, she felt peace and calm.
"I've been having these weird thoughts lately…"
What is that sound she was hearing? Was it the water or was it the wind? What is that sound?
"Like…is any of this for real or not?"
She then felt the shadows around her shifted a bit, causing her to open her eyes a bit. She can see an endless stream of darkness, with a faint light shining down on her.
Her mind was telling her to scream because of the endless darkness, but she didn't. She didn't scream, she just stayed quiet.
As she continued to sink downwards, she felt the shadows stirred again, causing her floating body to move into a stand position, and before she knew it, she was now standing at the bottom of the endless stream of darkness.
She looked around, her eyes looking scared and cautious, not trusting to move her feet at all. If she took even the slightest step forward, there's no telling what would happen to her.
But regardless, even though her mind was telling her no, she took a single step forward.
At once, a flash of bright light erupted from where her foot was, forcing her to shield her eyes with her arms, while revealing a young girl.
As she waited for the bright light to vanish or even dimmed a bit, she heard a whooshing sound, followed by the sound of flapping wings.
Sensing the light diminished a bit, she pulled her arms away and looked around to see a bunch of birds flying upwards. Her gaze turned upwards where the birds were flying to, which was the endless darkness, and she continued to watch them, until they were out of her sight.
After a few moments, the young girl stopped gazing at the endless darkness and looked down to see what she was standing on, only to release a gasp that escaped her mouth.
She was looking at a round and circular platform that was green and made of glass. There were small, yellow circles on it, which were filled with woodland creatures, and there were also slightly bigger circles that were filled with seven dwarfish people. But what interested the young girl the most was the picture of a young woman display on the glass platform.
The woman was beautiful, that's for sure, and seemed to be a slender figure. Her hair was black as the raven, lips red as the rose and skin white as the snow. Her outfit was a dark blue, sleeveless top bodice with short, puffy, lighter blue sleeves with red stripes and a high, white collar that was standing in the back. For the bottom part of the outfit was a light-yellow skirt with decorated white hearts that went to her ankles. She was holding a red apple with a bite mark and her other hand was resting on her heart.
"What is this place?" The young girl said to herself, as she stared at the glass picture with wide eyes.
"So much to do."
"Huh? Who said that?" The young girl asked, looking around to see who said that, but only met endless darkness.
"So little time. But take your time…"
The young girl was confused. 'Take my time for what?'
"The door is still closed. It can't be opened…"
"What door? What are you talking about? And who are you?" The young girl demanded.
"Now, take a step forward. Can you do it or not?"
Not liking the fact that she was being dismissed and getting mocked at, the young girl growled a bit before stepping forward. But as she got closer to the middle of the glass platform, there was a ringing sound in the silent area, causing the young girl to quickly look around, trying to figure out where that sound was coming from.
"Power sleeps within you, waiting to be unlock and released."
The ringing sound got louder, forcing the young girl to look at the middle of the platform, where three separate pillars of light suddenly appeared right in front of her. A yelp escaped her lips, as she stumbled backwards in shock.
"But if you give it form…"
A sudden flash of light appeared in the three pillars of light, causing the young girl to close her eyes. Once the light was gone, she opened her eyes to gaze at the pillars of light, only to widen her eyes from what she saw.
She was looking at three weapons that were floating in mid-air. Each weapon was different. The first weapon, which was in the middle of the pillar of light, was a sword, a real-life sword that knights use during the 3000 BC's.
The sword had a gleaming sliver blade with a golden cross-guard. At the base of the cross-guard was a red circle with a black mickey mouse symbol. The sword also had blue, leather wrappings around the hilt, which the hilt itself was black, and the pommel was gold and had a sharp point.
The second weapon in the pillar of light, which was on the right side of the glass platform, was a magic staff with a light blue mickey mouse symbol on top.
The final weapon, which was on the left side of the glass platform, was a black and red shield, and like the magic staff and sword, it also had a mickey mouse symbol display in the front.
"It will give you strength and the will to fight."
The young girl didn't say anything, only to stare at the three weapons with wide eyes.
"Choose your weapon well."
The young girl looked at the three weapons, wondering which one she should choose. She first looked at the sword in the middle, liking the fact that the sword was real instead of a wooden one.
Without even realizing it, she made her way towards the middle pillar of light, intending on grabbing the gleaming sword that shines off the pillar of light.
As she felt the leather wrappings in her hands, she blinked a couple times and looked around. She was sure that she was standing in front of the pillars of light, so how did she walk over there without knowing it?
Shaking her head, the young girl looked at the sword that was in her hands and began to observe it.
The sword felt heavy in her hands, like lifting a set of weights…yet it felt good at the same time. She can feel the raw power radiating off the blade, and she couldn't help but look at the sword in awe. She liked feeling this kind of raw power, the power of destroying enemies.
As the young girl continued to observe the sword in a sense of awe, she heard the mysterious voice again.
"The power of the warrior. Invincible courage. A sword of terrible destruction."
The young girl stared at the sword in her hands, not even blinking her eyes. She knew what swords can do. After all, they have been used in battles, and they are either used for good or evil. The good for protecting innocent people, and evil for slaughtering people.
"Is this the weapon you want?"
"Yes." The young girl replied without hesitation, and the sword in her hands disappeared with a flash of light.
"Your path is set, young one."
The young girl couldn't help but grin at that.
"Now, what weapon would you give up in exchange?"
Losing the grin to become serious, the young girl stepped back to the middle of the glass platform and looked at the staff and shield. Since she wasn't interested in magic, she went over to the staff and grabbed it.
At once, a sense of weird feelings were coursing in her body and wondered if that was the power of magic.
"The power of the mystic. Inner strength. A staff of wonder and ruin."
The young girl stared at the staff weapon with an unimpressed look.
"Is this the weapon you want to exchange?"
"Yes." The young girl replied, and like the sword a few moments ago, the staff disappeared in a flash of light. The pillars of light also disappeared, taking the black and red shield along with it.
"You've chosen the power of the warrior. You've given up the power of the mystic. Is this the form you choose?"
The young girl was getting annoyed with the statements of the weapons and questions, as she replied one last time, "Yes."
As soon as that word left her mouth, the glass platform shook vigorously, causing the young girl to look around alarmingly.
To her shock, the glass platform was starting to shatter into pieces, and it was shattering with alarming speed. She looked around, hoping that the voice can stop the glass platform from shattering. But it seemed that the voice had no intention on stopping it.
All she can do was watch helplessly and depressingly as the shattering glass got closed to her, and before she knew it, she was now falling into darkness.
As she started falling to the darkness again, she did the only thing she could do.
She screamed.
That is the beginning chapter of the First Journey.
When we get to the third chapter of the story, I will explain what things are going to be different in the story.
