Mission Zero:
The Beginnings of an Assassin, Part Three
Kraken stumbled back through the gates of to the First District. He looked around wildly, not sure what to do. He quickly began making his way towards the main gates to the city, but tripped over his feet, and slammed into the cold ground below him. His mind was still wandering, he still could not grasp what had happened to him. He had absorbed that boy's heart, and his wound had been healed.but now he, the once invincible Heartless warrior, was trapped in the form of a pathetic mortal child.
"Hey, mister, are you ok?" A voice asked from above him. He quickly turned to face the person who was standing over him, and found himself looking into a pair of innocent blue eyes. The voice had belonged to a boy, no older then ten. The boy gasped as he looked into Kraken's red, pupilless eyes. "H-Heartless! Help, it's a Heartless!" The boy cried out and began to try and run away from the Heartless beast. Kraken quickly leapt to his feet, drawing his sword and thrust it forward at the boy. His blade found purchase in the boy's skin and pressed in, the boy's cries quickly died out as the blade that had pierced his back, slide through him, ending the boy's life quickly. Kraken drew the blade out from the now lifeless form, to see a dozen-armed townspeople charging towards him. He growled silently and turned back to the gates, his cloak billowing around him. He quickly ran to the doors and began to pull them open as the townspeople advanced. As he slipped through the gates, behind the angry mob of people, he caught a last glimpse of the boy he had slain, and a woman rushing to his side. She gently lifted the form of the fallen child, her cry of anguish reaching his ears, before the gates slammed shut behind him.
Kraken boarded his ship without a moment's delay, the doors closing, and the roar of engines filled the air as Kraken returned to the swirling nothingness of interspace. The warrior looked at his dull reflection in the window of the ship and sneered. He would make Sora pay for this. For forcing him to adopt a form as sickening as this. Condemning him to face a constant reminder of the thought he hated most. All things are mortal.
The Heartless ship flew through the swirling vortex that held the multiverse, until he saw it. The End of The World. His second home. And the world where Sora was battling to defeat their new master, Ansem.
Kraken landed his ship in the entrance and slowly walked forward, peering at the once vast wasteland of worlds..but now, there was nothing. The worlds had disappeared. Kraken blinked, tentatively stepping across the open space, fearing what this could mean. As he continued his trek through the vast emptiness and silence of The End, he came upon a sight that left him stunned.
A massive castle stood before him, it's dark spires reaching up into the air like claws, trying to rip the stars from the sky. Kraken slowly moved forward to the massive gates of the black stone castle. He quietly shoved them open, peering around the vast, dark hallways. This place served as a reminder of the great castle on the world of Hallow Bastion, where his Queen had resided. He finally arrived at two massive doors, a mockery of the fabled doors leading to the throne room of the King Mickey. He gave them a mighty push, but they seemed to open by themselves at the slightest touch, and Kraken stumbled slightly as they moved quickly away from him. He peered into the dark hall, but could only make out a dark shape seated there. *Master Ansem. Kraken, your ever-faithful servant has returned. Kraken is impressed that Master Ansem was able to create such a magnificent palace in Master Ansem's honor.* Kraken praised as he made his way forward. But the sight of the one whom sat in the throne was not the one Kraken would have expected to see in a thousand years.
Sora, the warrior, master of the Keyblade, sat upon the dark throne.
Kraken stopped and peered at the boy, looking deep into the eyes he had grown to hate and fear. Eyes that no longer held a determination to stop all that was evil, to save the multiverse.
No.
All that he found in the dark eyes was a dark lust for power. The desire to rule all creatures, and bring darkness to the multiverse.
