So here I am again undertaking a huge story Project for Kingdom Hearts, The Reboot to Legacy if you will. I'm hoping to be much happier with this one.
I own nothing except the stuff I made up!
For Kingdom Hearts' 20th Anniversary
"They can take your world. They can take your Heart. Cut you loose from all you know….But if it's your fate then every step, is a step closer to home."
KINGDOM HEARTS LEGACY
Dive into the Heart
It was a strange dream he had relived memories of that terrible day. Only to be taunted by Kaen his fellow student and Corrum his master. Then he saw a strange girl; after that he fell faster and faster until he hit the water, a fall at that height and speed? It should've ended it all but it didn't he merely sunk into the water, his descent slowing down. The tails of his headband gracefully rippling with the current that bent around him. Eventually he flipped over onto his feet. He was able to breathe. But it was dark all around him.
He lifted one foot and lightly placed it back down only to disturb the doves he had apparently been standing on. Startled he covered his face with his arms shutting his eyes as they all took off feeling a smooth hard surface under him. He watched the Doves take off around him. Once he felt safe enough to open his eyes. He was in awe their pure white feathers stained red from the strange floor below him depicting a young girl around eighteen. With shiny light black hair with simple chiseled gold jewelry and tiara. Gold clips hung a blue cape elegantly from her back. She wore a white dress with a red under dress and simple black pointed shoes.
She was facing forward. There was an elegant horse rearing up behind her with a braided mane of the same color with a blue body cover for it. And for some reason surrounding both were pictures of people Kiro had never seen. One was a boy wearing a bandana tightly over his head. The other was of a portly king with large thick lips half of his face was bald and troll like for some reason. The other two was a slightly older boy with white hair and more narrow eyes belying an agenda under his looks. The other was a large thug like man with a few scars and a pointed helmet. The whole thing had a Red and Orange color scheme. The faces around the horse and girl having been simply line art filled with white. The circles in the barrier had various smiling tear shaped creatures and a small mouse with a Mohawk and tail tip. In the circle at the bottom was the top of a staff; A wooden bird with a crystal orb inside.
"A Power has been laid to rest with in you."
That voice! He knew it! it was one the first he ever heard.
"So much to do, so little time; but don't be afraid you've done this before…. Pick your form so you can regain your strength."
He walked forward appearing on three pedestals, were three weapons he was told about by the King. The Dream Blade the Dream Sword and the Dream Shield. He had made his choice long ago he picked up the staff and held it close. It disappeared within in in a flash of light.
"You've chosen the power of the Mystic; a Power of inner strength, a staff of wonder and ruin. Now what will you give up in exchange?" the boy immediately went over to the shield doing a slight jog in his steps. He picked up the shield and held it up it disappeared from his hands. "You've sacrificed the power of the guardian."
He knew that voice it filled him with sorrow and joy. He was worried he'd never hear that voice again he had wasted three years on his own incompetence. He couldn't keep thinking the whole platform shattered around him he fell. He let out a scream but his voice wouldn't come. He began to float again he could see a sky blue light rest on him tinting him the same color as he fell towards another strange platform.
This one depicted a young girl close to the same age as the one on the last platform wearing a white dress with a simple green pendant around her neck. She stood almost facing entirely to the side to the right. She had light orange hair up in a ponytail with a few strands hanging down and aqua colored eyes. There was a strange corridor behind her in the smaller circle. The Outer Circle the bottom had different forms a ship the rest had various shells that seem have different colors on them. In the smallest upper circle around her head were a boy with a headband and spikey hair. A girl with a helmet and glasses a Robot a humanoid frog and a woman with long curly hair and fierce looking eyes. Then a dark looking man, with pointed ears and slicked back hair. All of them like the last set on the last platform were line art filled with a pale gold. In the rim going into a pattern were water droplets and crossbows.
Appearing before him were three strange windows. They depicted a figure with a large shield defending others. The one was of one with a sword holding it high above his head. Then the third on the far right was of one meditating with magic around it.
"You must pick a path. Which one bests suits you?" The boy nodded and walked forward. He tapped the one with the meditating figure. "The Path of Wisdom, Is this your choice?" The boy nods he felt that power pour into him. as he did a bridge appeared. It was glass set of different colored platforms. He crossed it.
The Next one was of a girl with long purplish black hair which was flying out to the side from her fighting stance. Her eyes were closed but she still looked intense and focused. Like the first platform she was standing straight forward. She wore a long sleeved jacket with grey hood and sleeves and the rest purple with blue purple pants with a strap and small bag on her right leg both of which were spread out. One hand was out and flat the other was in a fist. There was a village or town of small kind in the circle behind her. The Rim had leaf shapes down one side and Ying-Yang symbols surrounded by line patterns on the other.
Surrounding the girls head were a boy with spiky hair and a large grin that reminded him of his father. With whisker markings, there was another boy and a man with similar hair but the man had his slicked back. Both had large empty eyes, were they blind? There was a boy with dark hair and fang tattoos on his cheeks with a large dog with dark ears and finally a boy in a hood with his eyes and face covered. Appearing before him were three boys one wearing Japanese style pants topped with a brown and gold rimmed duster. With a dark blue rimmed in red sleeveless shirt with cloth gauntlets with bits of armor and a Keyblade apprentice seal for a pant buckle. He had semi long blue and brown hair that went past his shoulders a little when let down but he had it tied in a ponytail.
The other boy was his age with a green bandana around his neck his skin a pale tan color with bright brown eyes and fawn colored hair. He worse brown pants with dark fawn and green pin stripes edging zippers on his pockets and pant cuffs Buckled boots and a light green and brown vest with a large zipper in the middle. His gloves were simple black and sleeveless with a metal bumpy disk on the back of the hand. His right wrist had a bit of navy gold and silver armor.
The Third and final boy had tanned skin with blonde windswept hair a few large chunks draping around his shoulder and head the others curving around the back of his head. He had angular light blue eyes. He was wearing a yellow, blue and grey vest with a black checkered pattern around the bottom. He had yellow and grey shoes with a light blue bubble inside. Around his wrists were small belts. Kiro ran up to them making contact with the Fawnette.
"What are you so afraid of?" He asked.
The Red headed boy Kiro, Thought for a moment before sighing. "Causing someone to be hurt; Part of me thinks it's already happened…." That boy had disappeared. The Blonde then spoke up.
"What is the one thing you care about more than anything else?" Kiro knew these questions were part of the process. His answers had changed the first time he did this though the first question was 'what, do you want out of life.' To which he answered 'To do my loved ones proud. And be a great hero like my father.' Back to this new question he thought for a bit before answering.
"My closest loved ones." He answered assuredly. This boy disappeared as well he turned to the oldest.
"Kiro what do you wish?" he asked. Kiro sighed and thought for a moment again. "I wish to recover, something important." He disappeared.
"There will be times you have to fight." The voice said as bits of darkness gathered up behind him. "Behind, you," The voice cried. Kiro quickly turned and slashed expertly at one of the Heartless the other two backed off a bit before bunching up they twisted and changed shape to something that made Kiro's blood run ice cold. It had, become a shadowy version of himself! It summoned a shadow version of his own Keyblade.
Kiro summoned his own Keyblade Legacy of Light. It had a long silver blade with hook like teeth on the end. There was a rectangular bump near the tip of the hook. Both were connected by a strip of gold going around the negative space which was in the shape of a heart. The shaft and handle were gold with a pointed bottom. The middle of the shaft was simply a red cloth tied in a knot sticking through the hole with two ties sticking out. The top half of the handle was white wings tipped with a gradient of red green and blue going down the tips of the feathers. The bottom half was swirling water. The Keychain was a small rope with a heart made-up with half water half cloud.
He dodged out of the way of an attack he blocked with a barrier as it launched various spells. Kiro felt mana tingling throughout him he knew this spell. He charged it up.
"Yes you know this, you're talented at this!" The voice cheered. Kiro's heart flew a little bit the first bit of praise of any skill he had in the past three years. Kiro cried out his mouth moving to the syllables. "Thunder!" Kiro shouted electrocuting the fake him. He rushed forward and slashed at it. It staggered back before Kiro plunged the blade into its chest. The Heartless went limp As Kiro pulled his Keyblade away and watched it fall onto his back before bursting into Darkness that threatened to cover the entire platform he backed away in fear. Seeing more of those platforms appear. He ran up them passing a white stained glass platform.
It was of a lady standing facing slightly to the left. She had brown hair two large buns on each side her eyes were closed one hand over her heart another resting at her side. Her dress was a simple white baggy gown with large sleeves and a belt with a gun attached to it. Which Kiro found a bit odd. Around her was a man with a goatee. There was a young boy about her age and a metal looking man in armor their backs turned to her as if they were important but didn't know her connection to them. There was a fish like alien as well; Kiro noticed a couple of blank circles as if waiting to be filled; a starry night sky with a large planet filled the smaller circle behind her; then in the rim. Was a crest moon spreading wide sitting on its back with a fleur de lures sprouting from the middle; the people were line art; With silver filling, with the symbols being white, as he ran up the stairs.
The Next one was green depicting a girl with pointed ears and blonde hair wearing a blue dress rimmed in gold with a large gold pattern adorning the middle. Dark regal red underneath showing in the large sleeves and high collar; There was a curly pattern on the large blue sleeves accompanying the white ones that were also gloves with a gold tipped middle finger that stuck tightly to her arms that accompanied the white bodice underneath. She also had a gold crown. Her hands were tightly interwoven with each other in a prayer. Her head was down eyes closed showing off the small tiara with three red jewels in the center. There was a woman and a young man with his hair in a ponytail on each side of her in the smaller circles. The other three had a large stone monster looking man with large bushy hair and beard. A Smug looking bird and a princess who looked like a more fish-esque mermaid in jewelry of her own; The Rim around it was full of triangle patterns in a circle with a fourth one in the negative space. In the smaller circle behind her was the ruined castle.
As he passed up the next flight of stairs, which were shattering behind him he could feel the tremors chasing after him in his feet. He jumped onto a yellow platform depicting a young Native woman wearing a Red jacket with a black t-shirt underneath form fitting blue jeans and black boots; her very dark almost black blue hair hanging elegantly from her head. She was looking up from the side with her eyes closed in the middle. To her back was a large gargoyle with a brown loin cloth and dark hair his wings curled around him like a cloak. There were a few other Gargoyles in the small circles around their head a small clock tower dwarfed by towering buildings in the smaller circle behind them with various things like more gargoyles and strange items adorning the circles in the rim. Kiro stopped to stare up at the light. But the closer he got to the light the greater his shadow became. Growing from it to his horror matching his movements like a mirror was a Dark side Heartless. He ran only to stop himself from falling at the edge. He couldn't run he wasn't going to be a coward. He turned back to the giant Heartless. He rushed at it slashing at its wrist rapidly throwing a few thunder spells in as the Heartless gathered power.
It lifted up its arm in a ready to strike motion tightening itself into a fist. The Dark Side slammed it's fist down and struck the ground head creating a pool of Darkness. Smaller Heartless came out which Kiro quickly took out. But he remembered being told that that puddle would make more he had to cause more damage fast. He summoned all his stored power and his Keyblade changed transforming into a large Bow one side a large white colored tipped wing and the other half a large stream of swirling water. That he immediately took aim with. He charged a Thunder Arrow in the small string with the gold and silver heart sight. His bright blue eyes; focused as electricity crackled in his ear the sound instantly deafening as he let it go. The Bolt struck the Heartless right in the middle of its forehead shutting down the pool of darkness. It staggered a bit before falling forward. Kiro slashed at its face doing massive damage.
The Heartless got back up batting him away. He almost fell off the cliff but quickly pulled himself up launching a powerful thunder spell at his head to blind the Heartless as it tried to charge again. Then he ran up and slashed its wrist hard before summoning a staff version of his Keyblade. It had a silver handle with the wings curled around the cloth which was now fitted into the heart shapped negative space with the ties becoming larger and curling up with the water surging around the bottom of the handle.
Kiro focused his magic energy as hard as he could and launched a barrage of magic bolts that seemed to land a powerful blow on the Heartless it slumped over Kiro tried to get out of the way but it turned into an inky wave of suffocating darkness that swallowed him.
"Run Kiro…..run far away from that man….you must….find…" Kiro tried to hear more but the world was fading around him as he sunk as if someone was shutting him out. He woke up with a start and realized. Corrum had stolen his power again. He growled in frustration burying his face in his hands in sadness if he couldn't pull what he had to do today off. He would be belittled for months!

Okay so like Sora in a Cut scene in KH3 Specifically one in Fransokyo. Kiro can technically choose between which transformation he wants but I'm explaining how they would be activated in game I also decided to go back to Keyblades that hinder stats like in KH1 Not all of them will do this but I think would mix things up a bit make you think about how each Keyblade is supposed to be used if this were a game. And be more unique on whether they are balanced or lean towards Strength more magic, like How Legacy of Light leans towards Magic. Those girls I mentioned. Let me know if you know who they are. Also, I referenced seven strong, female characters or six at least. Take that Kennedy miss there has never been a strong female character prior to Rey Palpatine!
Also that quote from KH3 according to Nomura its Sora reflecting on the events of the Events of the Keyblade Graveyard after said events. Probably before he was Isekaied most likely extremely painfully by an extremely ungrateful universe and turned into crystal by not-Noctis! I thought they'd be good arc words for this story like the letter was for KH 1 and 2
Also the first few chapters will be posted weekly because it's too much for everyone to Read at once.
READ AND REVIEW!
