Chapter 2: AxelA person would have to be an idiot to be running through the streets in the middle of a severe rainstorm. Unfortunately, Dashel was one of those idiots, but he had his reasons. Luckily, he was wearing his trench coat that was left on his bed, and by some miracle the hood was staying over his head instead of being blown off by the harsh wind. It was barely noticeable due to the length of the coat, but he was also wearing black pants and black boots. Black gloves also covered his hands. Dashel was running through the unlit streets, making his way to the beach. After about ten minutes of running, he stopped in the park and leaded against a light post.
"Man, I'm out of shape! But I need to keep going if I want to get answers. It should only take me another ten minutes to get to the beach." Dashel rested for two minutes and was about to start running again, but he stopped and looked alert.
"I sense something, a whole lot of something." Dashel closed his eyes and used his newfound powers again. What he saw didn't make him feel any better. In his new vision, he saw that a pool of white glowing liquid surrounded him. He opened his eyes and saw that there was indeed a pool of something surrounding him, except it was black. It seems that the black liquid arose the minute Dashel used his powers.
"This looks like the same stuff that was sucking me up in my dream!" Suddenly, the goo started to take form. In a matter of seconds, the goo formed into what seemed like hundreds of black figures with yellow eyes. They were short but very muscular and antennas extended out of their heads.
"What the hell are these things?" Dashel said as he looked and found himself surrounded.
"Heartless." A voice said, except it wasn't out loud. It was inside Dashel's head.
"Hey, your that same guy that was in my house a few minutes ago. How are you speaking to me in my head?" Dashel said, failing to notice that the Heartless moving closer towards him.
"It matters not," the voice continued. "These type of heartless are called Neo Shadows. They are very strong and fast, but they are nothing compared to your power. See for yourself." The neo shadows started to close in on Dashel.
"Hey! How do I use my powers?" Just as he was about to say more, one of the neo shadows lept in the air, then started to dive toward Dashel. With nothing else to do, he closed his eyes and held his hand out in front of him, hoping that something would happen. Fortunately for him, something did. The neo shadow suddenly moved slower than normal, as if he was in slow motion. Dashel saw this and somehow managed to disappear then reappear behind the heartless (like how the unknowns do in KH: CoM). He held out his hand again toward the heartless, but this time a purple force appeared around the neo shadow that caused him to slam into the ground, creating a small crater. It was only a matter of seconds before the heartless exploded. This caused the rest of the neo shadows to back away in fear. Dashel could only stare in awe at what he did.
"I can't believe it! This is really my power. This is all new to me yet it feels like second nature." Dashel had probably the widest grin that he has ever made on his face.
"Good, I am impressed. But do you have the power to defeat all of them?" Dashel heard this and only smiled. The wind blew his hood off, revealing his face, but he grabbed it and put it over his head again. However all that could be seen was the bottom portion of his face and his mouth. His eyes were shadowed out.
"Guy….You ain't seen nothing yet!" The voice only laughed at this remark.
"Then show me." The man said again.
"Gladly" Dashel bended his legs, then back flipped a great distance away from the group of Neo Shadows and landed on top of an arch at the entrance to the park. He pointed his palm at the group of heartless.
"STOP!" A big clock appeared over the group and started to go slower and slower until it finally stopped. This caused all the heartless to stop moving completely. Dashel then leapt into the air, at the same time gathering energy in his hand.
"GRAVIGA!" Dashel yelled as he came down in the middle of the group of heartless and slammed his fist into ground. This caused a giant purple orb to spread all over the park. Inside the orb all the heartless could be seen being crushed by the altered gravity.
Not too far from the park, at the top of a tall building, two figures could be seen. The first one was a male with black hair that stood up and black eyes. He wore a gray cloak with a Japanese symbol on the back that covered most of his body and his boots were black. On his back was a katana with a black sheath. The girl was a brunette with blue eyes. She wore a white blouse with long sleeves clipped on, therefore showing some of her skin, and a long pink skirt with some Japanese writing on the side. Her high heel boots were also black. She had a rapier with a sheath attached to her belt.
"So, Sakouri," she began, "what do you think is going to happen to this world now that the boy has awakened his dark powers?" Sakouri shifted a little and closed his eyes.
"Well, his powers will attract more heartless, therefore causing this world to be swallowed by the darkness and be ultimately destroyed. You should know that, Rika." Rika shot Sakouri a look of annoyance.
"I knew that, you jerk! I was just making sure you knew!" Sakouri, eyes still closed, only smiled.
"You have such a short temper. Come on, let's go before we get devoured." Sakouri's whole body changed into a ball of white light that shot straight up into the air and went through a white portal that suddenly appeared in the sky. Rika had an angry look on her face as she changed into a ball of white light and went through the portal as well.
At the beach, the hooded figure from before looked on at the two lights that just disappeared in the sky.
"So, The Order has decided to intervene. They were too late to save the boy, however. Soon Dashel will belong to us, The Organization!" The figure faced the sky and started to laugh menacingly.
Back at the park, or what used to be the park but is now a giant crater, Dashel could be seen standing in the middle of the crater.
"I see now. I have the ability to control time and space. But I have no time to dwell on this. I must get to the beach." Dashel vanished out of the crater and appeared back on the street. He then started to run toward the direction of the beach.
In five minutes he finally made it to the beach. There, he saw who he was looking for. Dashel removed his hood and stared at the figure.
"Alright, let's cut to the chase. Who are you and what do you want with me." The figure responded by turning towards Dashel. As he turned, he started to remove his hood as well. He finally stared at Dashel with his face revealed. He had red spiky hair and green eyes. Under his eyes were blue lines.
"My name is Axel. Commit it to memory." He said this with a smirk on his face. Dashel's face remained emotionless.
"Fine. I guess you know my name already." Dashel said, crossing his arms.
"That's right. So, Dashel, now that we're on a first name basis……" Suddenly Axel stretches out his arms and summons two disc-like weapons, one in each arm. He then faces Dashel with a grin on his face. Dashel immediately got into a fighting stance
"Don't go dying on me!" After saying this, he charged straight for Dashel.
