Ok people. I'm losing patience a little here. You see, about chapters 1-4 area little shaking. At first glance this story didn't seem Kingdom Hearts. Well....give it time. You can't judge something just by looking at the first chapter ALL the time. So for now, I don't want any flames from chapters 1,2,3, or 4. Mainly, chapters 1-8 are the start of the story, while chapter 9 is where the Kingdom Hearts comes in. Just give it a chance. I would like to remind one reviewer that this is my version of Kingdom Hearts 2. Ties to the original are in here, you'll see. I would like to thank Cool and Gijnka Renamon for going through the story. Now comes Disc Two, which will push more into the story. Ok....I'm back to normal. Enjoy!
Disk Two
Chapter 1 The Harvest of Darkness
It has been 3 days since the barrier between the worlds were restored. The worlds were at peace once again, thanks to three hero's. The KeyBearer Sean, the reptile Randall, and the digital dragon Veemon. Today was to be the celebration of their accomplishment.
"Finally....a vacation" Sean said, stretching out. Him, Randall, and Vee were granted to live in the mansion of Alastor. Since the barriers were restored, the three were unable to return to their own worlds. Alastor and the others were in study of how to return them.
"Well....better get set...". The room was large. A bed to the back of the room, a golden trim and knobs at the end. A desk with paper and used ink. A drawer containing special items the three had found on their adventure. A few boxes of supplies that were delivered from the various shops around shop as a thank you. Munny was also in bags that were around the room. After looking at the window at the town and the morning sky, Sean stepped out through the door.
*
"Ran! Vee! You guys up?!" Sean shouted as he headed down the stairs in a medium sized corridor. The corridor led down to the central hall of the mansion. Sean slowed down, then stopped, when he saw one of the red wooden doors on the wall opened, Randall stepping through.
"Morning Ran....get any sleep?". ".....I've had better" Randall replied, joining him in going down the hall. They then stopped when they saw Vee ahead in the corridor. "Hey Vee!" Sean called over. Vee stopped in his tracks and turned back, heading over to them.
"Where were you going?" Randall asked, suspicious. "Oh calm down Randall......I was up late yesterday and Alastor told me we should check out the theater....they're doing a play on us" Vee informed. "As long as its not like someone's I know" Randall grunted. "Oh come on.....this'll be fun...." Sean said. "Besides......see ya!" Vee said, running down the corridor. "!! Cheater!". Sean and Randall raced after him.
*
After the race, the three got down to the first floor to get ready for the show. Considering that this was a formal occasion, they all wore tuxes. The theater would be presenting a reenactment of the journey of them. The trip didn't take long, as none of the people didn't think the three would travel by dragon.
The theater was huge. An upper floor for overseers and the old age. The bottom floor for the simple folk, and front seats for the highly recognized people.
Everyone started piling in at the time. Sean, Randall, and Vee entered in and took the front seats, which also had Alastor, Iago, and Zazu. Vee was talking to Alastor at the point about if they got any leads on how to get them home. Sean was looking behind to see the huge crowd awaiting the show. Randall was twisting his book, that was about the show, in his hands.
"Why are you so nervous?" Sean asked, seeing Randall. "I don't know....I just don't....feel right...." Randall replied, looking up at the stage. "?...I wouldn't blame him Sean....taking on the Heartless would make one more cautious" Alastor said. "And if you don't believe him, believe Vee" Zazu said. "Thanks...." Vee said. "That'll be a sensation..." Iago mumbled, clearly getting Zazu's attention. "Hey!". "Sssh! Its gonna start!" Vee said as the curtain rose.
*
Meanwhile.....
Back in the temple which Pytho, Devilmon, and Shadow stood in.....the orb of which they peered into, shinned dimly, the only light in the room......
(Clang)
Footsteps could be heard....
(ERRK!)
The sound of a door opening came, a huge door opened. The footsteps continued, but their sound slowly decreased. "Well.....we're all here" came the first voice. "Some of us are missing..." came another. "I can see perfectly well in darkness...." the first voice said. "Well tell us what you want us to do...." came another voice. "There are only two of you here......I guess the others are searching for the keyholes......" the voice said.
Then.....a glittering....gold eye was seen, shinning from the darkness. "I'll receive it....".
*
"(Why'd they get kids to do this?)" Randall thought. A group of kids were acting out the whole story, it was interesting here and there....but.....
"(.....What was that?)" Sean thought, thinking he heard something.
"And with the Keyblade....I shall vanquish the Heartless!" the kid portraying Sean said. From behind the curtain, a Heartless thumped out, a Shadow.
Vee bent over to Randall, still looking at the Heartless. "Nice work on the Heartless huh Ran?" he said.
"......(What's that voice?)". In Sean's head, he could hear voices. The words of the actors on stage started to transform into gibberish and he could hear a faint voice....."Y....your heart.....is mine....!".
"I shall defeat thee fiend!" the portrayer of Sean said, heading toward the Heartless.
"(......Wait!)" Sean shouted in his mind. "Hold it!"
He stoop up and the kid stopped. "That is a real Heartless!" Sean shouted. "What?!" Randall and Vee yelled.
(Scream!)
They all turned to the high floor. "Heartless!" a woman shouted. Fluttering out of the entrance doors we're Air Soldiers. Everyone screamed and tried to get out. Sean got up on stage with Randall and Vee.
"Guess we celebrated too soon huh?" Vee said. "We don't get a moments peace do we?" Randall added. "Hmph......lets play guys! Act two!" Sean shouted, his Keyblades appearing in his hands. "Ah the feeling of battle" Randall whispered. "Lets just back these guys off!" Vee said.
(RRRRKKKK!!!!)
The Air Soldiers moved out, but four joined the Shadow on stage. "We got to get to the people!" Vee said, holding up his fists. The three turned to jump off the stage, but were stopped by three Air Soldiers. "Guess they really want to die!" Sean said, pulling his blade behind him. "Vee! Lets take'em! *Shiver*!"
The force strip split up the formation of the three, allowing Sean, Randall, and Vee to get down from the stage and get through the chairs, dodging Heartless in their way.
*
They made it out and slammed the door shut, locking it as fluttering wings could be heard on the other side.
"Just when you thought we could relax this happens!" Randall complained, placing his back against the doorway. "Uh guys" Vee said. the two looked forward to see the town was in flames.......Screams of the civilians and Heartless were heard. "Oh my god....come on!".
The high tailed over to the Arms Smith, staying behind the building, feeling the heat from its flames. "Ok.....lets try to make it to Alastor.....he'll tell us what's going on" Sean said as the three headed started to the next building. "What!?". Three Shadows grew up from the ground. "Err! Fine!" Sean said, holding his blades.
"Fira! Blizzara!". Two fireballs and a spear of ice destroyed the three. The three looked to see Iago and Zazu ahead of them. "Hurry! We'll take care of here!" Zazu said. "Thanks guys!" Sean said. "This'll help!" they both said.
*The party learned Fira!*
*The party learned Blizzara!*
The two birds went behind Sean, Randall, and Vee, who continued to head behind the buildings. They passed slits that was between the buildings that led to the town's center, where the Keyblade Fountain was. Sean turned his head to look through one of the slits, then came to a complete stop. Randall and Vee noticed, so they stopped a little ahead of them.
"What's with you?! Why'd you stop?" Randall yelled. But him and Vee went back and turned to look at what he was observing. Standing right near the fountain.....looked like a young man.....dressed in black with darkness swirling around him.
"Who's he?" Vee asked. Sean just nodded and started forward. After a few paces, the three were just a few feet away from him.
"Who are you?" Sean asked. The dark figure turned, looking downward. "Ah... It seems you are special too....Ever since the night of the storm......the worlds were connected....." he continued, "Soon to eclipsed the night into darkness and cover the light". "Answer me!" Sean yelled. ".....You.....you look just like him....as like him....you understand nothing...." the boy continued. "Dark KeyBearer.....". "What are you talking about?" Vee said. ".....The door to the light has been closed......but the door....The door of darkness that is soon going to appear... That door, through which we cannot pass...Perhaps you too, like me, come here for that purpose. Maybe it was fate....when the door opens.....worlds will be shadowed in darkness....making an eternal eclipse" the boy said.
"Your with the Heartless!" Randall concluded. ".......Your destiny is to open the door of darkness". "WHAT!?" the three yelled. "No! My destiny is to stop Darkness! Stop all of you!" Sean said. "......I am a servant of Darkness.....your true enemy is the bearer that will open the door to the light" the boy said. "What?! Who?" Sean asked. ".....Remember when you saved your friend?.......The Keyblade brought itself to you to slay your enemy" the boy said. "What?! Randall's no KeyBearer! Neither is Vee! Your l....." Sean began, looking at the Keyblades with a shocked look on his face.
"Yes....that's it.....you destiny is to obliterate Sora, the one who will open the door to the light, and to open the door leading to everlasting darkness!" the boy said, moving forward. "Can your heart sustain darkness? Show me the power of a KeyBearer!".
The boy stopped. Seeming to want them to make the first move.
"Do we fight him?" Vee asked. "Err!!! Your deceiving me!" Sean yelled.
(Clang!)
The two clashed at each other. The dark Keyblades clamped together with a long red blade of light.
"Let the darkness seep into your heart!"
They continued to counter each others attacks. Left, right, up, down, vertical, horizontal.
"Ready?" Randall said. "Ready!" Vee replied. "*Shiver Cannon*!".
Randall used Shiver to hit Vee into the air as he used his cannon to lock onto the stranger with the red blades. He came down fast but......
(BRRRINNNGG!)
He hit some kind of clear barrier that made him ounce back and hit Randal in the chest, slamming them both into a nearby house. Sean and the unknown person kept on.
(Clang!)
Their blades came in contact.
"Your heart loses fear and anger boils!" the unknown said. "The heart in you grows darker!". "No! Your wrong!" Sean yelled. "Fine....I'll let your destiny be know!" the unknown said, pushing Sean back.
"Open your heart to me!" the unknown yelled. The darkness surrounding him glowed and then a golden hint from its shadowed face grew. "No you don't!" Sean yelled, picking up his blades and racing toward him.
"Ohh.....Sean!!!" Vee and Randall yelled.
The aura surrounding the unknown suddenly shot out and swirled around Sean. His arms flew backwards as he was lifted in mid-air.
"AAAHHHHH! WHAT IS THIS!?" Sean yelled. "Destiny....awaits" the unknown said. The golden hint form its face grew into a open ray of darkness........
(RRRSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTSSSSS)
The darkness engulfed all vision......
*
Darkness of the cloud's dimmed over the silent city. Rubble from the attack and the fire is now being washed by the....
"....Ehh...."
Still on the cobble stones, being hit by the light rain, laid Randall and Vee.
"Ehh my head.....Randall......you ok?" Vee asked, slowly placing his hands on the ground to lift the top part of his body, Randall did the same. "Oh my head.....you outta watch where your going!" Randall said. "....Hmph.....what happened?" Randall said, getting up slowly and helping Vee onto his feet as well. "I just.....saw a flash of light and...." Vee started. "?! Where's Sean? And that other guy?" Randall asked as they both looked around, no sight of either. Nothing but the rain.....
They ran over to the fountain and looked around there. Nothing. Randall turned, brushing back his fronds as he did. "Where could they be!?" he yelled. "Can some one just give us a simple answer!?".
"Darkness has tooken him.....". The two turned to the north, seeing Alastor come through, the rain seeming to avoid touching him.
"Alastor! What happened!" Randall yelled. "That....that...person took him didn't he!?" Vee yelled.
"Well.....actually....he was not a person....he was a mere shell...." Alastor said. "Shell? Shell?!" Randall yelled. "In time you will learn....as this is all from the legend..." Alastor said. "Legend? Legend!? You never told us anything about a legend! You better explain it Alastor!" Randall demanded. "...I must....." Alastor said.
*
"The Legend is the Legend Of The Keyblades and the destiny of the bearers that carry them".
"The door to the light and door to the dark.....Only a dark heart can carry the wicked blade and with its companion can the door to darkness open........The clash of light and darkness will pass.....The dark bearer, confused by darkness, having the Heartless in his hands. The light bearer having to carry the burden to revive the heart, carrying the hopes and dreams, and hearts of others into the light.....Darkness and light cannot exist without the other.....the confrontation between the light turned to dark and the dark turned to light........
....Will form a true heart".
*
"That is the legend" Alastor said. ".....!! The Mural!" Randall said, snapping his three fingered hand. "Oh yes....that.....it was given to us by a visitor during a meter shower....told me the legend" Alastor said. "A meteor shower?" Vee asked. "Hold hold it.....your tell me that those dual blades Sean has can open the door to darkness!?" Randall yelled. "If the legend speaks the truth....".
The two stepped back once. "What are we suppose to do then?! That...thing has the Keyblades! Sean too!" Randall yelled. "We have to find him!" Vee yelled as well. "We don't even know where they went!" Randall shouted.
"...I might know where he is" Alastor said. Randall and Vee both turned their heads from each other. "What!? Where!?" they both asked.
"To the kingdom of the king that told me the legend" Alastor said.
"Yeah well....how do we get there?" Randall asked.
"Through the now Heartless infected Toon Town....on the outskirts of this city...its not far, the door to that world is there" Alastor informed.
"Oh yeah?! How do you expect us to get through! Every door has a key!" Randall said, flinging his arms up.
"As it seems...but I entrusted the Key to a dear friend of mine" Alastor said.
"Really?" Randall asked, surprised. "Where is he?" Vee asked. "In Toon Town....I suppose...he was to make sure none passed the seal" Alastor informed. "Good.....we know where we're going" Randall said. "There here....." Alastor said.
*Randall learned Back Attack!*
*Vee learned Power Head Butt!*
*Recived Items
"Good enough" Randall said, placing the supplies in the pouch under his bottom left arm. "Alastor....before we go....I wanted to ask you something" Randall said. "Yes?". "....How is it that there are Heartless? Why do they exist?" Randall asked.
".....You will have to ask darkness itself.......you will find out in time...." Alastor said. "(That one guy?.....).....Well ok...." Vee said. "Ok.....keep this place standing, this wont take long...." Randall said, walking off as Vee trailed behind him.
"....Good luck...." Alastor said, slowly moving back.
*
The two had reached the city's out skirts. There was a huge grass plain around. They had reached a nice hill, hardly any light shinning on the grass bellow their feet as they went up, Randall walking on his four feet, not wanting to hurry.
"Strange isn't it?" Vee said. "Yes....that one boy did look familiar....but I can't place it" Randall replied. "I hope Sean's ok...."Vee said. "No....I'm betting he needs to use him somehow...." Randall replied.
"........Randall....you think we can do this by ourselves?" Vee asked. "...Sure...but as I learned, nothing can be judged before hand...." Randall replied. "I guess your right...." Vee said. "You know Randall....you not as bad as you look...." Vee said. "Thanks.....and I guess your much taller than you look...." Randall said, rubbing the back of his neck. "Thanks...".
"Hey...there we go..."
Up ahead, they could see a tower sized wall, extending as far as the eye could see. In the middle was a door with moss covering it. The brick wall seemed to extend pass the clouds.
The two stopped near the door and looked left and right. "Jeez...it just goes on and on...." Randall said. "Yeah....I mean you got eagle eyes" Vee said wit ha chuckle. "I'll take that as a compliment..." Randall replied, touching the door's knob.
(SSSSIIIZZZLLLEEE!!)
"OW!" Randall yelled, pulling back his hand and blowing on it.
"What's wrong?!" Vee asked. "Its burning hot!" Randall yelled. "The Heartless must've burnt the door or something...." Randall suggested. "Yeah...but they did forget that....." Vee began, nodding. "Oh right..." he replied.
"Blizzard!"
Out from their hands shot out a freezing wind onto the door.
(PPSSSSSHSSSSSHHSHSHHSHSHHS) (Crackle)
They stopped, seeing the door frozen.
"Fira!".
Two fireballs shout out, blowing the now ice door into frozen crystals. The two shielded their eyes from the ice specks as it stopped. The door was gone. Only pieces were on the ground.
"Well....I guess we don't need to use the knob a Randall?" Vee asked. ".....I like your way better...." Randall replied.
They turned to the door and went in.....
A little shaky I know. But this pulls into Ran and Vee having to go off on their own for a little while. Giving a taste of what would happen if the KeyBearer wasn't around. To let you know early, yes, there will be tournament battles like there we're in the Coliseum in Kingdom Hearts. Something to look forward to. No flames.
