DHC: Hello! I finally got around to posting the first chapter. It's kind of dull, and as I said, it does kind of run along the lines of KH at first, but it will break off from it next chapter, I just kind of needed a basis to get started with, so I took the opening Destiny Island scene as a basis. Someone said that if I didn't think it sucked, I wouldn't be posting this...the only reason I'm posting this is because of my koishii, Lori(DarkTakaoKinomiya), who prodded me about it recently (in a span of 6 months is recent)and I decided 'what the hell?' and did so. I myself find it crappy, but obviously from the reviews I got, and the people on the forums who reviewed it, i'd say people think otherwise. Anyways, enough of my boring ranting and raving, and onto the story!

Chapter 1 - Yami no Yume, Hikari no Yume (Dreams of Darkness, Dreams of Light)

Netto sat up from the couch he was laying on. Looking around, he saw that he was in the DA room he came to a lot. With a large yawn, he laid back down, only to see Enzan towering over him. "WHOA!" He cried out, sitting up quickly, holding his heart. Enzan snickered lightly, only to get a glare from the brunette. "Don't do that to me!" Netto cried. "Netto, you lazy ass. I knew you'd be in here sleeping or talking to Rock." He said, walking around to the front of the couch.

"But I wasn't dreaming! It was real! Or at least, I think it was. You were there, and Laika, and-" Enzan smacked him on the head. "Itai! What was that for?" The brunette rubbed his head, glaring slightly at the other boy. "It was just a dream, Netto. There's no use dwelling on it." The dual-haired teen said. Rock came online from his PET and looked around, blinking. "I had the weirdest dream… That I was falling into darkness, and Netto-kun was with me…" He said, yawning. Netto looked over at him. "I had the same dream." He said.

Enzan sighed. "You two probably shared the dream through the link." He said. Netto nodded slightly. "I guess." He said. The door swung open and Laika walked in looking slightly miffed. "I guess you two forgot about the meeting." He said, walking in and stalking over by Enzan, pinning him with a mock-glare. "And you're getting to be as lazy as Hikari." Enzan smirked slightly. "So you've found out. I was hoping you wouldn't notice." He said amusedly. Netto laughed a little. "Never thought I'd see the day."

"Well, let's go. We can't be any more late then we are." Laika said. Netto jumped up. "I'll race you there!" Laika and Enzan stared at him oddly. "What?" Enzan blinked. "Are you kidding?" Laika asked. Netto's grin just grew wider. "Ready? GO!" And he took off running out the door and down the hall. The two teens blinked, looked at eachother, then they took off running after the boy. They ran all the way to the Conference room, getting odd looks from other NetSaviors. "I win." Laika announced smugly as they stopped outside the door. Enzan came next and smirked. Netto last. "Only because your legs are longer. I even had a head start and I still lost!" He whined. "Suck it up, Hikari." Laika said before he opened the door to the room and they went in.

----

"I don't see why they send us on all of these small retrieval missions. They're so boring!" Netto whined as they walked out of the conference room. "Don't complain, Hikari. Just be glad you're going on a mission at all." Laika said as they walked down the hall, heading towards the entrance. "Yeah, but… They're just so boring, you don't do much anyways." He said. Enzan chuckled lightly. "He's right. Even I don't like going on them. But, a mission's a mission." He murmured.

The aqua-haired teen smirked at them both. "And you both complain too much." He said amusedly, receiving a glare from both of them. "Let's just get this over with as quickly as possible." The brunette said. "For once, I agree." Enzan grinned. "The world as I know it has come to an end at those words. The apocalypse is coming." Laika muttered.

"Haha, very funny, Laika." Netto said as they walked out of the building and got into Enzan's limo that he had called for. Laika smirked. "I try." He replied dryly as he climbed in after Netto with Enzan bringing up the rear. "While we're on the subject of the world ending… What do you think would happen if there was such a thing as the apocalypse?" Netto asked once they had settled down. Laika shrugged. "Who cares? There's no such thing. The world isn't suddenly going to end, so why think about it?" Enzan looked a little thoughtful. "I suppose there would be darkness…a whole lot of it. It would swallow everything; and there wouldn't be anything to stop it. The world would be consumed, and would be corrupted by the darkness." He said seriously.

Netto stared at him. "But you're wrong." He said evenly. Enzan's brow arched up. "Oh?" He questioned. Laika rolled his eyes. "This is nonsense. There will never be anything like that!" He said. Netto looked at his friend and shook his head. "But there already is." Laika looked at him. "Enlighten me, Hikari, because I fail to see where you're coming from." He said.

"The darkness - the corrupt and evil things done by others. The things that happen everyday around us. There's so much of it; but there's always something to stop it - us. The WWW, Gospel, Neo WWW, Duo and Slur, they were all part of that darkness - part of the corruption. The taint would spread, try to engulf and consume the Net and World. But we didn't let it. There's darkness in everyone, as well as light. But as long as you know how to fight the taint, it can't harm you. And there may well be so much darkness…but I know that even if all seems hopeless, there's still that small light. Darkness can taint light, but it's still light, you see? Darkness can't put light out. Light can banish the darkness for a while, but it's always there. It's a never-ending cycle. A balance that has been there throughout time. If one were to actually conquer the other, the balance could be disrupted and would throw everything out of order."

Enzan stared at the brunette. "You've…been thinking about this a lot, haven't you?" He asked quietly. Netto stared out the window and shrugged. "I've been having rather strange dreams lately. Dreams of darkness, dreams of light. Dreams…that make so much sense…and yet none at all." He said quietly. Laika sighed. "Dreams are just that, dreams. They can't happen." He said. Netto shook his head. "Some of the dreams I've had in the past have come true. I think… I think some of the dreams I've had are warnings, or visions. Maybe not these, but previous ones I've had. And I know it's stupid, but maybe…maybe they do mean something." Netto looked over towards Laika, then Enzan, before looking back out the window. "Maybe I'm going crazy…" He mumbled quietly.

"I don't think you are. You're different, Netto. Perhaps you realize the truth between the real reality and the one we all submerse ourselves into. So who's to say you're right or wrong? And if your dreams really are warnings… What do you think they're trying to warn you about?" Enzan said. Laika said nothing; he just listened to the conversation. Running a hand through his brown hair, Netto shrugged, closing his eyes for a moment. "I don't know, Enzan. I wish I did." He said softly.

The rest of the trip was ridden in silence. The limo finally stopped and the three got out, walking into the abandoned building that was there. "This…is the place?" Netto said incredulously. Enzan had a similar face on. "Well, whatever. Let's just get in there, find whatever it is, and get out." Netto said as they began their search.

DHC: Well, this is the first chapter...and I'm sorry for the slight cliffhanger, please don't maim me. And I know Netto is a bit OOC...but I'm basing him kind of like Sora and yet not. Also, Netto has his rare insightful moments, and I do believe he's smarter and thinks alot more than he lets on, so this was just a little piece of his "true" self showing. Ah well. My friend Kitty-chan once asked me "So...who's Riku, Sora, and Kairi in this?" and I started laughing hysterically at the mental stimulation I got from it and I went "That's left for you to decide." Hahaha, if I had the talent I would SO draw them all as Riku, Sora, and Kairi. Hmm..perhaps someone is generous enough to do that for me? -grins at everyone- Anyways, hope you enjoyed this chapter and will all be patient with me as I try to write the second chapter. Writers block is such a Love/Hate situation... Also, review and leave some feedback or some suggestions, it's rather helpful to me these days! XD
