Chapter 1: Invaders
Max was outside at the base of the hollow tree, it was secret spot only Max, Zeo, and Ty knew about. It was a strange place it lead to a large underground area and had a strange door for some reason, but it was locked so they could never open it. Max was drawing; he always did that to pass the time. Minding his own business sketching a picture of the three of them on a new place he had thought up of.
"This world has been connected" a voice said. Max looked up to see a hooded person standing in front of him looking at the door. "..wh…who are you?" Max asked a little nervous. "..Tied to the darkness…soon to be completely eclipsed." The person said. "..Hey you! Quit talking jibberish…wait where did you come from?" "…You do not know what lies on the other side of that door?" The voice asked "...you know nothing, thus you can understand nothing…" "Max!" Max turned around to see Ty. "Max what are you doing in here?" she asked. Max grabbed her and started pushing her out. "Nothing, nothing!" he said. "Max we have to get ready for tomorrow." "I know I got the food on the boat." Max said then turned around to see what the weird was doing to see he left. "..I wonder where he went" Max asked himself as he continued pushing Ty out of the spot.
Max and Ty were on the docks later. "So what happened to Zeo?" Max asked. "He turned in early." She said. The sun hit the horizon and the entire color changed into a beautiful red color. Max and Ty both sat at the docks, feeling the warmth of the sun embrace their faces. It was truly a magical moment as the two sat together.
"Hey, Max." Ty said. "What's up?" Max asked, turning to his friend."Have you noticed that Zeo has changed?" Ty asked. "What do you mean?" Max said concerned. Ty looked down and Max talked softly to her. "Are you alright?" "Max, let's take the boat and go!" Ty said out loud. "Just the two of us!" "Huh?" Max asked in surprise. "Kidding!" Ty laughed. "You're the one changed Ty…" Max said. "Maybe…" she said. "…Max you think we'll be able to come back here?" "Of course if we can go somewhere else we can get back here." He said. Ty smiled Max may have been goofy but he never lied, that was the thing about him. "That's good. Max, don't ever change." She said, before walking off back to the school.
Back in Spira Yuna had told the crew everything on Tidus's note, then proceeded to read Paine's note. "Dear Yuna, please forgive me for leaving so suddenly, but I can tell there's trouble, and there's no time to lose. Besides Tidus's note I noticed the stars in the sky have been out…one by one. I really hate to leave without you and Rikku, but I had to check into this so you could find Tidus. As your friend I ask you and Rikku for a favor… Go follow Tidus's advice and go find this key, help Tidus's light side. Got it? I have a feeling we're going to need all the help we can get. P.S. Sorry I took the blue ship…Your friend, Paine." "…so what does this mean?" Yuna asked. "..I guess it means we're just going to have to trust Tidus and Paine." Buddy said. Brother nodded "So you two better get suited up, we'll get a ship ready." he said as he and Buddy left the room. "..I hope Paine's okay…" Rikku said as the two changed clothes for the journey. "Paine can take care of her self, I'm just surprised Tidus is still alive, to think he was dead." Yuna said. "…Well let's not waste time Rikku, Paine gave us an order and we're going to follow it." Rikku nodded as the two left. "…Rikku you forgot to put on pants…" "..Oh foofy…" Rikku said running back to get a pair of shorts. After a while the two were at the dock ready to get into the ship. "…Alright this is Yuna speaking we're ready for take off." She said. "…Alright Yuna, oh did I mention she would be coming with you?" Brother said. "Who?" Rikku asked. "..Why take would be me, Hikaru." She a small voice said as a small person was sitting on Yuna's head. "…Hey get off me1" Yuna said trying to knock Hikaru off her head. "Sorry" Hikaru said getting to her feet, giving Yuna and Rikku a better at the small person. She was indeed very small about the size of a normal person's forearm length. Most of attire was red and black, except for her pink short hair. "..I'll be here to help you record your journey, and to help anyway I can." she said. Yuna and Rikku nodded to the small robot. And they waited for the blast off. "…10…9…8…" Buddy said over the microphone. "…I'm so excited Yuna, well let's go to. To the Mooooooooooon!" Rikku yelled. Yuna sighed. "…3...2…1…Blast Off!" Buddy yelled as the ship tough off from Spira. "…God luck you two…" Brother said. Hikaru looked to the two. "…Well I think we should check near Hollow Bastian, I got some strange readings from there." She said. Yuna nodded. "Alright then to Hollow Bastian." "Then the moon!" Rikku said. "…We're not going to the moon…" "…aw man…" "…Anyways Rikku, when we're in other worlds we can't tell anyone where we're from." "Oh yeah we gotta protect the world border." "…order" "...Oh I knew that." They continued talking for a while as they headed for the world of Hollow Bastian. Meanwhile, Max was in his room packing for the trip. "Ok I got my clothes, katana, food, …I don't know what that is…all that leaves is…" he stopped to look out the window. "A storm? Oh no the boat!" he yelled opening the window and jumping out. He walked towards the docks where the boat was to see it was okay, but what troubled him was the footprints, they all lead here but none lead back. "…Ty and Zeo must be here too." He said running off to find them. He stopped when some creatures started appearing out of the sand, they looked like little shadows with yellow eyes. Max swung his katana at the shadow but it went right through. "…Well that stinks." He said dropping the now useless katana and ran for it. He continued running until he saw a strange light. Zeo was seen standing in the light, looking at Max. "The door has opened Max…" Zeo said under his breath. "What did you say?" Max asked suspiciously "The door has open, Max!" Zeo said, turning to Max. "Do you know what this means?" "Um, were going to Disneyland?" Max asked sarcastically. "Stop fooling around!" Zeo snapped. "It means we can finally go to the outside world! What we hoped for has become a reality!" "What about Ty? We can't go without her!" Max said angrily "Ty's coming with us!" Zeo snapped. "Once we step through the other side, we might not come back. We'll never see our friends and our family again. It's a chance I'm willing to take, there's no turning back. We can't let fear stop us! The darkness can come, but it won't scare me, because I'm not afraid of it. You shouldn't be afraid either, Max!" Zeo then extended his hand to Max. "Come with me, and together we'll discover our destiny." "But Zeo"
Before Max could continue, a wave of darkness appeared and wrapped around Zeo. Max reached for Zeo's hand which was still reached out. Soon Zeo was gone, and Max was also being covered by the darkness. He felt like it was going to swallow him up, until a light appeared in his hands. The light grew until it blinded Max for a second. When he opened his eyes he was standing on the shore all alone, no Zeo, or darkness, but there was something in his hand. He looked down to see a strange looking blade. "…wha…What is this?" Max asked. Max held up the sword which was shaped like a key. The handle was crystal with a square around it that was gold. In the back he noticed a chain with a silver heart on the end of it. The blade itself was crystal. "Is this a key? Maybe it's a sword…" Max asked looking at the weapon in his hand. "Keyblade…" a voice said. "…Key- blade?" Max asked.
As he looked in awe at his weapon a shadow appeared behind him, Max got scared and swung his keyblade hoping it would scare it away. But he looked to see once it touched the creature it started disappearing. "…This keyblade must have the power to destroy those things…" Max said. He didn't have time to be amazed, as more of the shadows appeared to avenge their comrade. Max destroyed another two, then took off. As he ran he noticed the secret spot had a door over it. "…I don't remember that." He said going to open it, and saw Ty. "…Max" she said as the door in the back of the room burst open and Ty was sent flying past Max. Max watched as she was gone and he was also sent out of the secret spot and onto the school's roof. As he looked around he saw a huge shadow in front of him. In was all black besides its yellow eyes. Two large claws, and a heart shaped hole in its chest was what Max saw. "…Whoa…" Max said dodging the claw that flew at him. "…I know they say go for the big one, but I think he's a little too big." Max said, as he dodged a flying ball of darkness. "…Okay think what Zeo told me…" he said. He had a flash back when he and Zeo were fighting a large dragon. Zeo looked at Max "Remember Max when you face a large creature, aim for the eye. No one can train one's eyes." He said. Max snapped back to attention. "Right the eyes." Max said, when the shadow's hand came down, Max jumped on his arm giving the creature a raspberry. The shadow looked mad and swung at Max, but Max jumped out of the way and the creature hit himself and fell to the ground face first. Max slashed at the shadow's face as watched as he flew into the sky. "Yeah I won!" Max said but stopped realizing he was also being lifted into the sky. He grabbed onto a pipe and held tight but, despite his efforts the pie ripped off and he was sent flying into the storm. And away form the school.
Max and Ty were on the docks later. "So what happened to Zeo?" Max asked. "He turned in early." She said. The sun hit the horizon and the entire color changed into a beautiful red color.
