"He is over there- lets go to him"
Mark looked over to where Tyler was pointing at. He saw a guy with dark black hair sitting at a table eating his lunch. "Hm.. I never seen him before" Mark said. They both walked over to the guy. The guy noticed Tyler and smiled. "Hey Tyler!" He said. "Who's this?" He asked when he saw Mark.
"This is Mark. He's a friend of mine." Tyler said. "Pleased to meet you Mark!" Josh said with a genuine smile.
"Both of you love Kingdom Hearts" Tyler said. "So I think both of you will-"
"You like Kingdom Hearts?!" Josh said with his face seeming like it would burst with joy. Mark giggled a little. "Yes I do-"
Tyler had to leave because he heard one of his other friends calling him over.
So now it was just Mark and Josh at the table. "Wow, it's hard to find anyone who likes this game series around here" Josh said. Mark was a little surprised by that. "Wow, really?" He asked. "Yeah..." Josh said with a sad expression. "Been teased a lot about liking Disney" Josh said.
Mark understood how Josh felt. He has been teased a lot for liking steam engines. But he came to realize that he shouldn't focus on what other people think. So he wanted to give his acquaintance some advice. "You shouldn't listen to them. You like what you like, and they like what they like. No one should bully other people for what they like, but it happens anyway. But it's best to not care about what they say."
Josh looked at Mark, then softly smiled. "That's some wise words Mark" Josh said. Mark blushed a little.
"I know you shouldn't listen to those people, but still... Words can really hurt sometimes." Josh said. "Yeah, I can't argue with you there" Mark said agreeing with Josh.
There was a small awkward silence.
"Um... I have this secret..." Josh said. "Hm? What is it?" Mark asked. "I might have... A small crush... On Xion..." Josh said. Mark looked at him, then chuckled. Josh blushed and looked embarrassed. "Hey don't feel weird. I have this huge crush on Sora" Mark said taking a bite of his peas.
Josh looked at him with a shocked happy face. "Wow!? Really? So.. I'm.. Not the only one out there who have crushes on animated characters?" Josh asked looking a little disbelief. Mark giggled. "I am afraid not."
But then Mark just realized he doesn't even know who Xion is.
"Wait a minute, who's Xion?" Mark asked. "Hm? Hey, just how many Kingdom Hearts games have you played?" Josh asked. "Just Kingdom Hearts two.." Mark said.
"You... Played the second game before the first?" Josh asked arching his eyebrow. Mark sighed. "My brother David bought the game for my birthday yesterday. Apparently, the "1.5 remix" wasn't there"
"Ah, I see... And happy belated B-Day by the way" Josh said smiling. Mark retuned the smile back.
"So let me guess... You are a new fan of Kingdom Hearts?" Josh asked. "Well if that wasn't pretty obvious already... Yes" Mark said chuckling a little. Josh smiled big. "You my friend... Have a lot to look forward too."
It was the end of the school day, and Mark was heading home. Josh had told him at lunch that they should meet up one day. Mark knew he wasn't going to be busy for the rest of the day, so he asked if he could come over after school. Josh happily said yes.
Mark could tell Josh was very happy to get another friend who loves the same game series he likes.
As soon as Mark reached home, he was gonna set down his bag into his room, and walk the 2 blocks to Joshes home.
Josh had written his address on a piece of a paper, and Mark knew where it was. It was near the park down the road. "Not to far from the abandon house" Mark said to himself. Mark opened the front door to his house, and saw that David wasn't there. Neither was James, his younger brother.
"Hm? Where is everybody?" He walked to his room, and set his bag down.
He figured the least he could do is write a note. "They probably will come home later. Wouldn't want them wondering where *I* am." So he did so. He quickly scribbled a note and slapped it on the fringe door.
But as soon as the paper met the metal door, the light's flickered.
Mark noticed. "Crap... An earthquake isn't going to happen is it?" He said to himself. "Sometimes living in Cali sucks."
But it didn't happen. That left Mark puzzled onto why the lights flicked. It couldn't have been snow on the power lines, since it is the middle of October, and besides, it doesn't snow much in California. And there was no sign of a thunderstorm outside either.
Mark heard a static sound coming from the TV.
He was at the window, looking out at the sky to see if there was any dark clouds. "That's weird..." Mark said. "Newer TVs don't static... Do they?"
Mark was confused at this. "Geez, don't tell me our TV is going-" he sighed as he thought this. They couldn't afford a new TV.
The TV was still giving the static signal. Mark figured if he probably unplugged the TV and then plug it back it, it might come back to normal.
As he was reaching to where the cords where, he heard a voice.
"Come to the darkness-"
(Kingdom Hearts- The Corrupted)
Mark looked up and saw the TV on the PS4 was turned on, and the game was back where it was yesterday. The same screen before is crashed.
"What the-"
Mark came to realize that the game was STILL frozen.
"Oh great. Don't tell me my PS4 is actually-"
Mark stopped cold.
His eyes locked onto where the the power cords plug into.
The PS4's cord was plugged out.
That means the PS4 shouldn't be able to show anything, frozen or not.
Mark felt a rush or tension in him. Something didn't feel right. And then something made that feeling worse. To the left of him was a shadowy figure. The figure was in the shape of a human, and it had a glowing letter "D" In it's chest.
'What the freak... That's.. The thing that was in my dream-'
Mark couldn't tell if he was dreaming or not, but he needed this thing to get away from him.
"Haha.. David... Nice joke... Halloween is almost hear.. B-but you don't need to do this-" Mark said honestly really hoping that it IS David playing a prank on him. But Mark realized if this was David's doing, he most likely should of gotten hired at Hollywood for a visual effects artist.
The dark figure just stared at him.
"So... You are not David-? Who...who are you-?"
The dark figure vanished into thin air, leaving Mark in the darkness.
Then the PS4 fans started to spin rapidly. Mark jumped back quickly. "What in the hell?!" Mark yelled out. The fans where spinning like crazy, and the game console started to sound like a jet turbine.
Mark had no idea what was happening. "I must be dreaming- there is no way that this is rea-"
He shut his mouth to what happened next.
There was a purple spark in front of the TV.
Then the purple spark turned into a purple vortex, that opened inches away from Mark.
Before Mark could of done anything, the purple portal started to suck everything in. "HOLY KINGDOM HEARTS!" Mark yelled out. He grabbed onto the Sofa, but he payed no attention to what he was grabbing onto, and he grabbed the cushion of the sofa. With the force the vortex was pulling, it took Mark along with the cushion.
"NOOO!" He cried out.
(End music)
This was only something that seemed to ONLY happen in movies. But now.. It.. Was happening to Mark.
Getting sucked into a giant swirling purple vortex.
"I need to get out of this-" Mark thought to himself as he tired to turn. But he couldn't. He was stuck in this purple dimensional rift.
But he saw something. Something up ahead looked like a town. "What is that-"
But he saw what seemed to be ground. It was coming up fast.
~Twilight Town, Central Station~
"Hey Sora? Should we go to sunset hill today?"
"I don't know... What do you think we should do Olette?"
"Well... I think this is the first time I'll ever agree with Hayner on anything. Maybe we should go to sunset hill."
"HEY! What's that supposed to mean!?"
Sora chuckled. "Alright, sunset hill it is!"
"Where is Roxas anyways?" Hayner asked. "I think he is with Axel" Olette said.
Sora was at the station doors. "Hurry up you two! We are gonna miss the train!"
"Alright, alright!" Hayner said as he walked over to Sora. "Alright lets go" Hayner said. "Hey Sora, why are you not moving?"
Hayner noticed that Sora was looking at something, so he then looked at the same direction Sora was looking "What the heck is that?!" Hayner cried out. Now Olette was seeing it as well. It was a giant purple vortex.
"I bet it's heartless!" Sora said with a stern face and summoned his legendary weapon.
But it wasn't heartless.
What happened next shocked them all.
The portal exploded, and what seemed to be a person, got ejected out of it.
"Wait is that a person?!" Hayner yelled out. Sora with his quick thinking he ran go catch the person, but Sora wasn't quick enough, and the person slammed onto the floor and probably got knocked out.
