AN 1: I just noticed I didn't post this with a note or a disclaimer. Sorry about that. I don't own Kingdom Hearts at all the rights go to Disney and Square Enix. Thank you to Trista Liu, Tankaide, and zhangziwei for reviewing but I'm looking for more constructive feedback and not just compliments. So I would ask that if you review my stories, you will do it to help improve them.
Rushing again and again at great speed, I slash at him many times before he teleports away and starts firing his laser arrows. I use my keyblades to intercept them and deflect them back towards him. He looks surprised when all his arrows embed themselves into his Beginnings
With that leaving him dazed for a second, I rush at him and jump up to slam him down. Seeing him smirk, I pause, and then I'm sent flying across the room. Landing a few moments later, I clutch my stomach and try to speed up my healing process. Then a green aura surrounded me, and I felt my strength and stamina replenished.
"Need some help," asked an unfamiliar voice. I look at the source of the voice and saw it was Kairi, crouching down to it I said, "thanks." I quickly take a look at what her stance is showing, trying to get a feel from her.
She was no stranger to tragedy, probably losing someone close, but not too close. There was anger in her eyes looking at the man I was fighting with, but also recognition. She knew this bastard; I would have to ask her later about him.
The way she holds the keyblade meant that she had some training, but she didn't have a fighting style that she was comfortable with. But she looks determined enough to try her luck. We nod that each other, and I rush forward once again. I hear her behind me calling out elements, and I see bursts of fire, ice, and lightning racing past me and hitting the man. As he is stunned, I push myself to go faster, and it's like everything slows down. I unleash devastating combos on him and jump back before he retaliates.
As he teleports away, I sense that he would reappear behind us. I quickly swing my keyblade and hit him in the jaw, then immediately use the other one to jab him away. Then I nod at Kairi, and she nods back.
I run up to her, and she launches me up to the air. She then sends pearls of light at the man, then as well, pillars of light that did more damage. Meanwhile, I was focused on condensing my inner light to envelop around me, helping me to hover and to charge up my attack. But first I need more light. I dig deeper in myself for more but doing so I found my darkness that I kept buried deep inside.
Doubt suddenly filled my mind. What if I missed the shot, but it was all for nothing, and this bastard would get away with hurting my sister. Heck, I don't even know if she's still alive. The image of her lying on the ground fills me with grief, and the light around me falters.
"Angie!" A voice broke through; it was my older sister, Brooklyn, "don't you ever give up you are the strongest, most talented young woman I've ever known. If you need, I'm willing to share my light."
"Mine too," exclaimed Rebecca, my other sister from the twins. "My only regret is not being there for you enough, so take my light as well." One by one my family members stated that they are willing to share their power to help me. Then a voice I wasn't sure if I would ever, hear again, my oldest sister, Juliana, spoke.
"Angie, I'm so sorry that I've not been there for you, I've always known of the pain you have endured already and the pain that awaits you along your journey. My regret is not having you as my baby sister sooner. So take my light, and use it to kick this asshole's ass for blindsiding me."
Touched by all this, I start drawing in their power, and the light around me condenses even more. Then another voice, Kairi's, called out although a little strained. "Angie I don't know you much, but I feel there's a connection between us that I never felt before. So if it will help take in my light as well."
I wouldn't disagree because I felt a connection as well, so I started drawing so light from her as well but when our hearts touch, my mind was filled with light. I then knew who this Kairi was, she was actually my real sister, whom I've been searching to fill the hole in my heart that I did not know about.
Taking as much light as I can, I lift my arms, and the light follows my movements. With the light swirling upwards, I thrust my arms out to the man and yell out the words "Light's Embrace." The light then left me and completely covers the guy. I motion for Kairi to move closer to me as the light starts solidifying. I wait for her to stand next to me, and then I snap my fingers.
The light explodes, and with that, all the pent up energy was released. The only thing heard was the man's screams as the light flooded the room momentarily blinding everyone. When the light subsides, I see the man lying on the ground, unmoving but breathing. I walk up to him and inspect him closely.
He has a scar going up his face and is wearing an eyepatch. Who did this guy think he was, a pirate? He also had graying hair held in a ponytail, and he seems to be wearing only his black cloak. When he starts stirring, I decide to make my move.
I notice that he sees me and before he can do anything, I slam my keyblade into his hand preventing him from trying to shoot me. I stand on his other arm and stab my other keyblade into his hand as well hearing him cry out in pain. Then I raised my hand, and a third keyblade appeared in it. It was shaped similarly to my katana, with the texture still in place but now there were teeth included that are shaped as daggers.
"I'm sure you remember me making a special oath earlier. Well, i fully intend to keep it. So do you have any final words," I ask the man? The man just laughs at that and goes "It's not going to that easy kiddo! You see I'm not ready to die again." He then calls out in a louder voice "now would be a good time Saix." I pause for a second thinking about what he just said, and then I don't have any time to react as a force slams into me, sending me flying towards the ceiling very high up. I try to adjust myself before I hit, but it is too late. I slam headfirst, and I hear a sickening crunch.
I then fall limply unable to move at all, but aware of my surroundings. I don't feel the landing but my vision rolls, so I think I move to a complete stop. I see the man getting helped up by another man, but his face was concealed by the same cloak that the first man wore.
The older man waved at me and disappeared into a portal of darkness. The other man followed him into it without a second glance. After that, I barely heard my name being called and as I lost consciousness falling into a dreamless sleep. Or was it?
"Angie," called out Julianna. After her wound had healed up, she rushed to try to help her baby sister but was met with a barrier. Seeing that everyone else was trying to get past that she knew that she wouldn't do any better.
She watched as her sister unleashed unbelievable moves that were wearing the guy out. Then with the help of Kairi, she got launched into the air and started to condense pure light around her. The men saw this and tried to shoot her, but Kairi stopped him every time. Then the light got brighter, but then it also faltered for a second it cause everyone to worry. Then Brooklyn called out offering her support, then Rebecca setting off a pattern when it got to Julianna she had to let her sister know that she was okay. After saying what she said, the light got even brighter.
Then Juliana heard Kairi, and her heart sunk because she knew after this Angelina will be reunited with her real family member. But that won't stop her from loving Angie as her baby sister watched the light gets brighter, and brighter till she had to shield her eyes. Then she heard Angie call out "Light's Embrace." A few seconds later the light enveloped the pirate dude and exploded. When the light faded, she saw Angie walk up to the man ready to kill him. She hoped that Angie wouldn't make that choice.
When she saw that Angie was going to follow through but paused, she was going to look away, when she caught a glimpse of a black blur rushing at Angie. The blur swung its weapon, and Angie was sent flying. As she hit the ceiling, everyone heard the sickening crunch as they stared horrified as Angie fell limply to the ground.
Julianna wanted nothing more but to rush at her sister and catch her before, and she could hit the ground. But all she could do was watch her sister walloped the ground and lay on it limply. The pirate dude was helped up by the man that Julianna really wanted to kill now, and they both disappeared into a portal of darkness.
With them gone, the barrier disappeared, and everyone rushed to where Angie laid. Kairi was there first calling Angie's name but there was no response. As everyone gathered around, and she took a large, shaky breath, and exit it all out.
When she didn't take another breath, everyone was devastated. Their power could only heal so much, but a limit was that the person still had to be alive. which for what happened to Giuliana earlier, was a miracle, but everyone just watched Angie died right in front of them.
Just then a faint light enveloped her. Kairi as well as her master took a sharp breath. They knew what happened to a person when this occurred. But what happened next, amazed everyone. Slowly Angie's body shrunk down in size, and her hair grew longer and turned a shade brighter. The scars that covered her body completely disappeared.
When the light faded away, her clothes changed as well, she went from wearing her fatigues to a light blue wrap dress, with a big pink ribbon wrapped her waist. She wore knee high socks with some frills, and some black, patent mary janes shoes. Then miraculously, Angie started breathing again.
Everyone cheered because of this wondrous miracle, and Juliana reached to grab Angie but was shocked by black lightning emitting from Angie's body. Then a dark aura surrounded Angie and stayed there.
The master cleared his throat and said, "now we wait for the young Angelina to wake. We don't know when it will be, but we must have hope." Kairi walked up to him and asked, "Master, why does she look younger than before?"
The master took a deep breath, "this is her pure form, with the aid of magic, she had the body and mentality of one older than her real age. Before now she thought that she was 17 when in reality she's only 12."
Kairi was shocked at this Not only was Angie and her little sister, but she was at least five and a half years older than Angie. She could only hope that her little sister would pull through soon.
I couldn't tell whether I was falling or floating when I open my eyes. All I can see is pitch-black all around me. As I drift in empty space, I thought to myself, is this what happens when you die. At least I'm pretty sure I'm dead after blacking out when my neck broke.
But I do n't know since there isn't any way to make sure, I was always taught that it would be different. To help pass the time, I just let my mind wander. I think of Juliana, of how I might not see her again. How I would miss the sound of her voice. Then my thoughts wander to Kairi, my real sister, that I never knew that I had. I wanted to see her more and find out what she was like.
"So much to do," A voice breaks out. "And not enough time," the voice continues, as my sense of gravity tells me that I was now standing on something. "It's time for the first step, can you do it," the voice asks.
Realizing what the sound meant, I tentatively move forward, and light fills the area, blinding me for a second. When my eyes adjust, I see that I'm on a circular platform that looks like it's made out of stained glass. There was a picture of me on it when I was 12, and there was also all of my family members, in small circles circling me except for Kairi who was standing across me.
As I admire the artwork, The voice starts again, "Welcome my child, we have a tight schedule so all this work since you are already skilled and your Weaponry, I'm going to help you with the power of the keyblade. First off I want a better this demonstration with your unique keyblade single-handedly."
Instinctively my hand shoots out, and my keyblade appears. I balance it my hand, and it feels like I can use it to both swiftly slash with it, and slam into down into my enemies. A complete balance for my fighting style. Then the name for the keyblade clicks in my mind "Balance."
"Balance, what an unusual name for such a unique keyblade," the voice said. I open my mouth, and nothing came out, I couldn't bring my voice to sound. "Talking is not the same in your heart; instead you need to communicate using only your thoughts.
I pause for a second, and then thought "How is my keyblade unique." The voice then said, " It is the first new keyblade in centuries and the only one of its kind. As it is called Balance, it does not represent a force like most keyblades, but it is the pure embodiment of the balance between the darkness and the light.
"It is only in the form it is because it takes the form of what you expect the keyblade to look like. But you can have it any other form you like, deciding what it shapes and size it could be. I want you to try turning it two different blades at one time.
I'm not sure how exactly to do it, but I visualize the blade to not only look like my katana but as well have two of them. I grip at the handle and pull in different directions. The blade turned hazy and split like butter before it solidifies into two separate katana. One was pure black, emitting a dark power. The other one was pure silver, and it was emitting light.
I then test them on a couple of black creatures with yellow eyes, and they disintegrated whenever my blades hit. The battle was over so quickly that I wasn't sure if it happened before.
"One last thing before you go off to the next platform. I need to tell you something crucial, You are the first person since the keyblade war to be able to completely manipulate both light and darkness. Everyone else just uses magic and abilities, fashioned after the two forces but not the real thing. This is a gift that few have ever received, and with it comes a great responsibility. You are henceforth titled as Grand Master, Defender of Kingdom Hearts. You are the only one that is able to wake it from its sleep but to do so you need the X-Blade.
"But the X-Blade was destroyed by the original Grand Master, splitting it into seven pieces of light, and 13 of darkness. But there was a single piece that was lost in the stories over the years, the handle. The first 20 pieces are always easy to find, you just need seven people fighting for light, and 13 for darkness, but they only create the blade part. You are the final piece, and the only one able to fully wield the X-Blade, and unlock its true power.
"With that, I also name you as Angelina, Lost Princess of Daybreak Town, as well to Grand Master, Defender of Kingdom Hearts. I wish you the best of luck on your journey. And don't forget you will be the one to open the final door. Now go, your guide awaits."
With that said the floor under me shatters.
I fall through through the darkness for a short bit, before I saw another platform below me at a distance. Coming up close, I can see that it is entirely different from the one I was on just a moment ago, but the artwork was fantastic. It was covered by people that I did not recognize at all. It was split into three different sections. The first section showed three people wearing black cloaks like the man I beat up before I fell unconscious.
The first was a short black haired girl that had a resemblance to Kairi, but I could tell it wasn't her. Next was a blond haired boy, with a glare in his eyes. Last was a fire truck red haired guy whose hair was also really spiky and had upside down teardrops under his eyes.
The next section was a tall brown haired man with a large looking key. There was anger in his eyes, and one of them was golden. Then next was a bluenette with a slim but long keyblade, wearing some sort of cross on her chest. Looking at her made me think that I might have met her somewhere. The last was another blond kid that looked like the first one, but he also looked like he was sleeping.
The final section was filled with only one girl, with blond hair and a short white dress. I was wondering what made her so special that she was all by herself when a portal of darkness appeared, and out came the girl herself. She waved and then said "Hi I'm Namine.
Another chapter done, it is starting to kick off. I'm going to introduce a concept right now, and that is with a vote after each chapter whether or not Angie would make a decision that is either dark or light. It will then change Angie in her behavior, personality, her judgment, and how everyone else would see her as. Generally, it should be balanced and not leaning towards either side, but it is your guyses choice so leave a review and tell me what you think.
