DISCLAIMER: I do not own Kingdom Hearts the rights go to Square Enix and Disney sadly...
"You favor the light to much its time to put your heart back in balance." I just can't stop replaying the message in my head. How was he this close and all I could do was cower in fear.
I reach towards my chest and feel around. When I find that there was no wound I slightly relax. "The keyblade doesn't cause physical wounds. It's more of connecting to your inner energy," I look to see Master Yen Sid crouching down to my level.
"Some people refer to it as chakra which would be its definition at its simplest. The keyblade itself can cut the flow entirely which can kill someone but it also helps it wielders increase in strength. The keyblade is used to sever the creatures of darkness's chakra, effectively destroying them.
" Xehanort did not sever anything though but unlocked your heart to let the darkness in as well. Think of that you have two different sets of chakra one made of light and the other darkness. He merely made it so that you can now use the powers of darkness."
He stands back up and says, "you are able to manipulate the pure physical forms of light and darkness, but if you choose to come with me and Kairi back to my tower we will teach you how to use the extent of light and dark magic. Which I believe will be exponentially increased by your unique abilities."
Should I really go with them? I mean I want to spend more time with Kairi but that would mean that I would have to leave everyone here... I look at him, and he sighs, " I know that this a hard choice so I will give you time to think about it.
"Now your world is nearly safe all we need to do is to seal this world's keyhole, but I can't seem to locate it anywhere near."
I smirk, "oh it's closer than you think." I whistle and wave everyone over. As they are walking over I say, "you see I discovered the keyhole a year ago and the family and I placed powerful magic over it to hide it because it seemed real powerful."
I turn towards my family, "we need to reveal the keyhole so Kairi and I can seal it."
They nod and we circle around and clasp our hands together. I start to say, " scaoileadh séala draíochta" Magical Seal Release. I chant the phrase over and over again and one by one each of my family members joins in. It starts off small and quiet, but as the magical energy increases, our chanting gets louder and louder until its fits the room.
A bright light starts showing on the far side of the wall. As our chanting gets louder, the light grows. When it gets bright enough I cry out in a loud voice "séala draíochta ordaímse duit le scaoileadh." magical seal I command you to be released. The light flashes and the keyhole reveals itself. I summon my keyblade and see that Kairi did the same. We point our keyblades at the keyhole and a bright beam shot from both of them. After it disappears I feel faint and stumble a bit, but Kairi catches me. I smile appreciatively at her and stand back up.
Master Yen Sid turns to us, "this world is now safe from destruction, but that doesn't mean that the heartless will leave entirely. They will lurk in the shadows and prey on the weak. But you should be able to fend them off.
Everyone nods at this information and starts congratulating each other for their excellence in battle. It has been a while since we were all together, not since... well never mind that I remember that the Master said about this world being safe but what about all the other worlds. Maybe I'll find him out there...
" Everyone... I've decided that I will go with the Master back to his home and train there. I don't know when I'll come back, but I'll keep you all in my heart, and always think of you."
Lukas walked up and hugged me. "I'm sure that wherever you go we'll be there with you."
"I'm going to miss you so much," Rebecca cries as she rushes to join the hug quickly followed by Brooklyn.
"You stay safe, you hear me," she says nearly crying as well.
I nod, "I will that's a promise."
Juliana then rushes up and hugs as well, "no matter how far you go, if you need me, I'll be right there."
I look up at everyone and smile, "all of you helped me become who I am now and I could not ask for anymore. Thank you all for being my family."
I take a few steps back, conjure up some light and throw it into the air. The light expands and envelops me in a cocoon. I then vividly imagine that my whole apparel is completely changed. I see myself stand in a void-like place as my hair wounds itself into a French braid mixed with braids coming down the sides resting on my shoulders. My dress shrinks down from below my knees to up to my thighs.
My shoes disappear and are replaced by my combat boots, and my socks drop down to only an inch higher that the rim of the boots. The bow on my dress unravels itself and turns into thin gloves that come up on my arms. Only to be covered by leather bracers on my forearms.
I open my eyes and see everyone stand in wonder. I just shrug and walk over to the tank, and quickly enter a code. The tank makes a whirring noise and starts transforming. As it gets smaller and smaller it starts to take on a cube shape. When the transformation ends I pick up the cube and put it into my pocket.
I see Kairi stare in shock and laugh, "how else do you think I'm going to get this thing around."
Here eyes bulge out even more, and she sputters, "you're taking it with us?!"
I nod, " It is a very valuable piece of work, and I don't want Grissom stealing anything from me again.
"Grissom, who's he," asked Kairi.
I let out a heavy sigh, "the man who took away someone that I loved from me years ago."
"Can... you tell me what happened," Kairi asks.
"Well... it all started when Grissom tried to capture us that one fateful night.
We were in deep inside enemy territory trying to find vital information. Right then we were in the vault when the lights suddenly went off. I reached for my swords but was knocked down by something. Hearing something move through the air I quickly rolled to the side and heard the sound of metal hitting metal.
I quickly summoned a burst of mage light and threw it into the air. What I see right there scared me. there were about 10 of them and half had their guns trained onto my companion, I did not know what to do, then I saw her smile. With a flash, all the enemies were on the ground unconscious.
I slightly started to relax when suddenly I heard the faintest click. My companion gasped and I felt her powers surround me but she wasn't protecting herself. I thought that she was not regarding her safety as long as I lived.
I yell out, "MOM!" I try to summon my own forcefield to go around her but it felt like something was blocking me. I struggled until I heard the explosion. I look up and the room started to go higher than the sky and when the flames enveloped my mom, I fainted from straining to hard and the last thing I remember was the screaming.
"Because I choked... because I wasn't strong enough, she died right in front of me," I say with tears streaming down my face. "And I swore that I would tear out his heart like he did mine, but I never got the chance."
Kairi put her hand on my shoulder and asks in a soft voice, "what happened?"
I look to her, "one day I was really close to finding him when suddenly his entire army was put on high alert because he went missing... and no one has seen him since."
I look to my family and open my arms and we gather together one last time in a large hug. I then walk up to Master Yen Sid, and say, "I'm ready to go."
He nods and waves his hand. A portal of light appears, and it seems to be pulling me in. I move forward and stop right at the edge of it. I look back at my family one last time and wave. Looking back to the portal I take a deep breath and walk straight in.
In a world devoid of color, filled with towering skyscrapers, floating hundreds of meters off the ground was a castle. On the very top of the castle walked up a figure cloaked with black garments. He stood there looking at the sky as if waiting for something. He did not have to wait very long.
"Master Xehanort to what do I owe this pleasure to," he asked the old man as soon he stepped out of a portal.
"The young girl has begun her journey. Feel free to do whatever you want but remember we do need her to fully create the X-Blade." The old man smirked. He then started walking down the steps leading back into the castle.
The man stood still for a moment before calling out, "you can come out now."
Out slunk from the darkness another cloaked figure. As the figure withdrew its hood, we see that it is clearly female. She had long brown hair and blood red eyes.
He walked up to her and brushed his hand on her cheek. She knew better than to flinch away. "I'm sure that you would be glad to see your daughter again wouldn't you," he asks, testing her.
She quickly blurted out, "Yes Grissom, please just let me see her." She quickly realized her mistake.
Grissom simply reached for a button on his gauntlet and a massive shock was sent through her body. "Serena Serena Serena where are your manners."
She shakily got up from the floor and apologized, "I'm sorry Master Grissom, it won't happen again."
I look at my surroundings, taking the time to absorb everything. We are now in a small office type room, with multiple doors; one on each wall except the far wall. There are bookshelves tucked neatly into the corners and the whole place gives an aura of magic. The Master walks to the desk and sits down in the chair.
He just hums and says, "your tutors should be here any moment now." With that, the door opened walked in two people. One was a silver haired dude with really buff muscles. From my encounter with Namine, I deduced that this must be Riku. The other figure was a lot more familiar...
"Mickey," I exclaim joyfully, as I run up to him.
He laughs as I tackle him to the ground. "Gosh, you sure have grown taller now Angie!"
I laugh as well and help him up, "well its been forever since you last came by. How have you been, I sure have missed you."
He scratches the back of his head, "well these past few years have been rough. I've been combatting with the forces of darkness ever since xeha... since somebody started messing with things he shouldn't have."
"It's ok Mickey, I know about Xehanort and everything else. He has already attempted to sway me towards his side not even an hour ago," I explain to him.
He sighs, "I wish you didn't have to be dragged into this mess, your too young."
I smile sadly at him, "I wish that my life could have been normal compared to others but my fate has something else in mind."
I look to Riku as he clears throat, "so Mickey who's your little friend here, she looks a lot like Kairi.
I step in for Mickey, "My name is Angelina Blade or Angie for short. I am Kairi's little sister so that's why I look like her."
Riku stares in shock, "Kairi I did not know you had a sister."
"Neither did I until a few hours ago," she replied.
I smirk, and I thought I was with my true family before then guess we all learned new things today.
Mickey spoke up, "she and her family are good friends of mine we've known each other for years. But I guess your powers have awoken then if you're here Angie."
I nod, "I'm guessing that you two must be my new teachers. I'm ready to start if you are."
Riku smiles and walks through the door. He comes back in and motions for us to follow. We walk through another door and I found that we were outside.
"Before we get started I want to test your skills, I'm guessing you can summon your keyblade right?" he asks playfully.
I just simply raise my arm out. I concentrate real hard, and the wind picks up under my feet. I see myself using my keyblade in its key form and it appears in front of me. I grab it and get into stance holding my keyblade pointing towards the ground slightly behind me.
Riku looks at it, "well never seen that one before."
"It's more on the newer side since it was created to fit my preferences." I snipe back.
He summons his keyblade and gets into stance, "oh like what?"
I quickly rush up to him, swinging it upwards striking at him. He blocks it and counterattacks. I jump up parrying and spinning to get out of his way. I use the air to gain a bit more height before focusing on my keyblade willing it to be heavier. As gravity took a hold with the help of the extra weight I slam my keyblade into his and he is pushed back a bit.
"I see that you use quick attacks trying to throw off your opponent before unleashing a powerful attack. Smart, what else can you do" he asks.
"Well while in the air I made my keyblade heavier to add some more force in the attack" I smirk.
"So you know some gravity magic as well?"
I shake my head, "no I physically changed my keyblade to my needs like this." I then saw myself using my dual katanas and pulled. It was worth it to see the look on his eyes. "Now how bout we get a bit more serious."
His eyes narrowed, and I got into stance once more with one blade in front of my while the other behind me while I was crouched. I then sprung into action. I ran around his back using my powers to increase my speed and swing. My blade connects with his and I see that he was barely turning towards me. I started attacking him a lot more quickly, and surprisingly he was keeping up with me.
I purposely make it look like I slipped a bit and let him take the advantage. He hits very hard most of the time, focusing on powerful strikes. I match him strength for strength but I can feel myself tiring just a bit. So I come up with a plan to get him of me. His eyes narrow as my blades start to glow. I then push him off with an explosion.
As the concussion force pushes him back I quickly dismiss my blades and run up to where Kairi and Mickey are standing.
"I really need more of a challenge here how bout we do a three v one battle here you guys against me." I quickly ramble out before speeding away.
Riku walks up to them and goes "what's up with her?"
Mickey laughs and says "You got her excited now and the only way we'll be able to tire her out is if we work together. If we don't we'll have a lot of trouble on our hands."
The rest of them summon their keyblades and rush at me. Kairi strikes first going for my legs. I jump to the side, and hit her on the back. "anticipate your enemies movements." I block Riku's keyblade and push him towards Mickey. Mickey jumps over the stumbling Riku and strikes at me. I block his attack and hit him from the side with the blunt side of my blade.
I jump back a few yards and wait for them to recuperate. "How is this even possible, she's just a child," Riku exclaims.
"Rule number one: never underestimate your opponents. I'll let you know that this 'child' is a master when it comes to sword fighting. You know what's my pet peeve."
I hear Mickey whisper to Riku not so discreetly, "I would run if I were you, you just made her mad."
"It's when people won't take me seriously because of my age! I will not allow anyone to diminish me because of this," I say my eyesight turning red. I then take a deep breath. Calmed down I decide to have fun with Riku.
Pretending to still be angry I rush at Riku as fast as I can. I swing very hard and he blocks me. I snarl and start attacking him mercilessly. He pushes me off with a blast of darkness, and I realize that he must be the one to teach me about the darkness. Great, now I can't hurt him too badly...
I rush back at him and feint to the right. He falls for it and I quickly strike him into the air. I jump up and keep on striking him higher and higher until I use my powers to teleport above him and focus a strong blast of both light and darkness combined. I fire at him point blank, looking hm dead in the eye, knowing that he has no way out, but don't let the blast hit him. Instead, it wraps around us as we slowly fall towards the ground. Our feet touch the ground and I dispel the light and darkness.
"If I were truly angry right there, Master Riku, I'm not sure if I would have been able to control myself right then and you would have come into serious harm. I apologize if there was any alarm, but it was just simply too easy to mess with you," I say with a completely straight face before cracking a smile.
Very quickly everyone started laughing at Riku's dilemma. "I'm glad you have a much better handle on your emotions Angie. I was worried for a few seconds before I saw that you were holding back."
Riku looks at me, "just how much power do you have?"
"I'm not entirely sure myself, but I have had years of practice with my original powers and now I have new ones to master it is not going to be an easy journey for me." Especially since Xehanort is trying to get to me...
I look at everyone, "but I'm not invincible either, a few hours ago I was nearly killed by a lunatic who snuck up on me before I was going to finish pirate face off..."
Riku and Mickey look alarmed, "you fought the organization already?"
"Yeah, I'm not sure why they were there, I was too consumed by rage to think rationally then. Then after we defeated this big heartless, Xehanort came and plunged his keyblade into my heart. Until then the darkness of my heart was locked away, but he unlocked it and now I'm at my full potential."
I suddenly felt a sharp pain in my heart, it's like nothing I felt before. Images flash before my eyes, as I see a boy close to Kairi's age struggling against another Organization XIII member. He relies on the power of darkness as he nearly is overtaken. Then all goes black...
I wake up to the worried glances of Kairi and the others, and I see I'm now inside. "How did I get in here," I ask, and Kairi says "You just fell over after clutching your heart I thought you were having a heart attack."
I shake my head, "no I'm fine, its Bladen I'm worried about..."
"BLADEN," Mickey exclaimed, "what's wrong with him."
"He was being attacked by an organization member one that used what looked like lightsabers."
"If Xemnas is really there then this 'Bladen' is in big trouble," Riku states.
The Master then cleared his throat making me jump. When did he get here?
"It is the utmost priority that Xehanort does not get the young man. Angelina, I trust you to bring him back safely."
"Yes Master Yen Sid, I know the consequences of what will happen if I fail.
Kairi speaks up now, "Who is this Bladen you talk about?"
"Bladen is our cousin and he is the Prince of Darkness."
Finished! Thank you to those who have read this far it means a lot to me. I've decided that the Karma (Light or Dark choice) should happen at least every other chapter. So if you would please leave a review of what Angie should decide on doing I will implement in the next chapter. But not only that please leave a review leaving some positive criticism about how I can better this story until the see ya next time.
