Chapter 14-Legends Uncovered

Point of View: Kairi

+Dream+

I was in a dark world and no light could be seen. My feet lead me towards a waterfront. The water was actually a pitch-black sea. The waves washed on the shore as I stepped through the water. 'Where am I?' I thought. The sky was dark with clouds and it soon began to rain. A figure stood before me in the water. It was cloaked.

"The time has come for you to fight me in the battle for the rule over whose power will prevail over the others." It said.

"What are you talking about?" I replied.

"Kairi you are clueless as always." The cloaked figure let down its hood and there stood Alex before me. A set of black wings appeared on her back and she looked at me with her red colored eyes. She wore a black dress. (A/N: See Chapter 13 for details.) A long sword was in her hand. It had engraving of the heartless and other symbols. She stared at me and then threw her cape into the water.

"You have no idea how much you will regret battling me. I am going to give you a realistic hell. I am going to show you how it feels to be in the pain and sorrow I went through." Alex said while flying into the air. "ARSOM NIGARA NOIR." Alex screamed and dark arrows came down from the sky and headed straight to me. They were all black and had a firey black glow around them. I dodged them but one went through my arm. I shouted as the pain rushed through my arm as blood was seen through my outfit.

I was wearing a white dress that was down to my thighs. Lace and ribbon hung from my arms and leg. A pair of white ballet like shoes was on my feet with heavy lace running up and down my legs. A ribbon was on my right thigh and my dress was running off of my shoulders and ribbon and lace were criss-crossing from my back to my front. At the bottom of the dress it was lacey and it was doubled. I had a long white cape on and it flowed in the wind.

The dress was stained a wine colored red as the blood soaked it up. I looked at the traitor who used to be my friend. I had never seen that type of hatred and evil in anyone before. Her heart was completely stricken with evil and her past was the cause of it.

"Ow I missed too bad. I can see you are going to be quite easy. So shall I finish you off now?" Alex said.

"ALEX HOLD ON! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING." I yelled at her.

"Don't try to beg for mercy. I hate it when people do that." Alex lowered herself down to me. "Take your best shot at me." She said.

I threw off my cloak and a set of white angel wings were on my back. I flew into the air and drew out my keyblade. "Fine then." I shouted. My speed increased as I flew towards her. Just as I hit her she was gone.

"Too slow." Alex said as she appeared behind me driving her sword in my back. "You were too easy." I heard her say as I fell in the dark waters. It was over and I felt the darkness enter my body and I kept falling faster and faster. "You my other half will die by my hand no matter what it takes and I have successes my one and only goal and that was killing you." Alex yelled down towards me. I looked up at the sky and rose petals were falling down from the sky. "Farewell to my other half." She said.

I hit the water and the darkness almost had me and I was dieing. It felt as if all of Alex's hatred grieves, sorrow and pain was put into me. It hurt like you couldn't image. I floated down deeper and deeper into the water until. I woke up from this nightmare.

+End Dream+

I woke up screaming my lungs out. I was still in my bed with Sora lying next to me. He turned over and opened his eyes. "What's wrong?" He lazily said.

"Bad…Dream." I relied as I set my head down back onto my pillow. I tried to get back to sleep for the next hour but I couldn't so I just got up and headed downstairs. Leon was there drinking coffee and looking as if he hadn't gotten a good's night sleep in about a week. "You ok." I asked.

"A little tired but I am fine." He replied somewhat cold and tried. "You couldn't sleep either."

"Yup. Really bad dream."

"About what?" He asked.

"Me dieing by Alex's hand." I said shocking pretty badly from the dream still and what I had just said.

"WHAT? Tell me everything about the dream you had." Leon said shocked and amazed to hear what I had to say. For the next hour I went into great detail on the whole dream and what had happened. As I finished Leon was completely shocked to what I had told him and was speechless.

"That's it." I said staring at Leon who had his mouth all the way open and was letting his mug slip from his hand. "You ok?"

"No…I can't believe that is the dream you had because I have had that exact same dream playing over and over in my sleep since Alex left. The difference is that I am watching you battle Alex along with Sora, Aerith, Cloud and Riku by my side. We all stand their helplessly watching as you fall into the dark water." Leon said.

"Then it has to be related. I mean I am sure that it is no mistake that you and I have had the same dream expect from different perspectives that is all. What do you think it could mean?"

"I have no idea unless that it is going to come true. I have heard that if one or more people have the same dream that it is most likely going to occur in the near future. If it is going to happen I and everyone else would do their best so it doesn't come true. I swear that you will not die by her hand." Leon said taking my hands and gripping them tightly.

"Ok…" That was all I was able to say because I was still in shock about the whole dream thing and if it did come true would I really die. I sat at the table in silence for the next few minutes and decided to get some air. "Thanks for the talk." I said to Leon who was silent. He just stared at me as I exited the house. The night sky was clear and the moon was almost full. I breathed in the cool air that entered my lungs. I stared up at the sky, and two shooting stars went by, then another and another until there were hundreds of them going by all the time. "Oh no." I said to myself. It couldn't be happening unless…I heard footsteps behind me and I looked down to see a cloaked figure standing before me.

It approached me and I back into the wall of the house as the figure grew closer and then another figure appeared out of thin air right beside the other one. "No…" I said still backing away. "SORA!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. The door to the house pulled open and Leon appeared with his sword out.

"KAIRI!" He screamed as he ran to me.

One of the figures spoke. "Not so fast." With a flick of his hand Leon was sent into the wall and was trapped there by an unseen force. "Kairi…run." He said struggling to speak.

"I can't." I said trying to move but something was keeping me down. I pushed harder and a white light appeared and freed me. I ran up the street and into an alleyway but it was a dead end. Another figure appeared behind me. It came closer to me.

"GET AWAY FROM ME!" I shouted.

"Arsme di carni." The figure spoke and I was chained up in mid-air. "That should hold you." A deep male voice said. He came over to me and touched my face. "What a pretty girl? It would be a shame to have to kill you."

The same first figure appeared behind him. "Axel don't touch her." Another male voice said. "We have to bring her back in one piece to Ansem."

"Fine." Axel said. "But it is a shame." He said. "NIATU!" He shouted. I felt a strange force take over me and I was knocked unconscious.

Point of View: Riku

"How could you? You promised me that you would not kill her." I said crying as I held Alex's lifeless body in my arms. Her face was pale and her body was ice cold.

"I kept my promise. Whoever said she was dieing." Ansem said smirking at me.

"What?"

"You will see my son. This state is just tempory until the portal is opened." Ansem said. "Bring her to me now." He said.

I picked her up and walked her over to him. I set her in his arms. "I am not done with you yet. Follow me son." Ansem said exiting the room. He walked down the hall and into the library. He set Alex down on the table. "Sit." He ordered. I did what I was told and I took a seat at the table paying all my attention to Alex who was still lifeless. Ansem pulled a large book off the shelf and opened it to a page and began to read.

"Life is balanced by the light and darkness in one's heart. However as the darkness begins to consume the entire heart the person will be turned into a heartless because that person's heart is forever gone. If the light in one's heart is far beyond the darkness in the heart then the darkness will be gone for all eternity. But life without the balance of light and darkness is not possible no matter what. If the darkness fades so does the light. So if one fades so does the other half and both are lost forever." Ansem said. He flipped to another page in the book and continued to read.

"If the balance of light and darkness is perfectly in sink then the person's heart is in a gray state making it possible to function in life. Every person is born in a gray state and as time goes on the heart turns to either the light or dark side as the person's choices affect their life and the balance within their heart." He flipped to another page.

"Heartless seek hearts in order to once again become human but the heart must be in the gray state in order to be accomplished which it rarely does, so the heartless will no longer be human and shall remain in that state for all of eternity." He said closing the book.

"What in the hell is that supposed to mean." I said getting frustrated.

"It means that as time goes on the way you live your life judges what the balance of your heart is, but I am not done." Ansem put the book back onto the shelf and took the one right next to it down and began to read.

"In legend there is said to exist one person born with their heart completely turned to the light side and another person born with their heart completely turned to the dark side. They balance one another out making it possible for them to exist in the real world. However, if one dies then the other will die along with them. Both are said to have battled to the death in order to make the world the way they want it to be made with light or in complete darkness. The two hold the key into opening the Gate to Kingdom Hearts for they are the ones that judge. Each one of them has the power to kill the other and they will use it so one falls by the other hand. The two of them are known as the Angel of Light and the Angel of Darkness."

"As the legend goes on one of the two was said to have died by the other's hand and that person did not die making it an event that is bizarre because the darkness and the light can't not exist without the other. The one that did conquer the other was said to have ruled the world always remembering their other half that was killed in the process…."

Ansem finished and I was sure that the passage was speaking of Alex and Kairi. "I understand now. That the one of love and my best friend are going to battle to see who will rule the world after you open the Gates to Kingdom Hearts. In the end you will always get what you want you bastard."

"That is correct son. I will always get what I want no matter what happens…"

A/N: I know that it has been over a year since I updated and I am sorry. I thought that I was done with the story and couldn't think of any ideas for it again but I was wrong and I shall have the next chapter up in about a week or so. Promise. Please R&R and I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
