The End Diaries
Disclaimer: I do not own Kingdom Hearts.
Chapter 1: The Mission
It is the year 2077 and life is boring as hell. I'm Riku Crescent and this is my video diary. I heard like 70 years ago people wrote down their thoughts. How primitive . . . anyway like I said this is my video diary.
The room you see behind me is my room in the Twilight Tower. The Twilight Tower is the residential building for all Soldiers for the company Endiness.
Endiness is a company that was founded 30 years ago on genetic, terraform and biological research. To date the company has successfully advanced genetics in allowing for healthy humans. Obesity which history tells us was overwhelming in the early 2000's, has long since been eradicated. The company created a gene that devours fat at an extraordinary rate.
The company has also terraformed the moon, mars and finally Venus. The Moon is all labs for Midgar. Mars has people from every nation on it. It is actually an ok place. It a little bit cooler than Earth but whatever.
Venus is a tropical planet. It is a fantastic place to go for vacation. I have a beach home there. Anyway I am making this all exposition and if anyone ever does see this, will likely be like what the fuck?
Here I am now getting ready to meet up with my commanding officer and the rest of the squad. We have some mission to do today. I'm going to have this camera going to document everything later.
The cool thing is this new design picks up my thoughts so even if I'm not talking you will hear what I am thinking.
So here were are leaving to the first level where we meet for shit, but first, look at my awesome place. Huge fucking TV! Awesome kitchen, pool outside on the roof. I live in the penthouse.
(Time skip, five minutes)
So I am technically not allowed to video any of this so I am going to just be doing thinking from now on so no one knows I am filming. This is our briefing room and the Commander should be here in a minute. His name is Cloud Strife and him and his younger brother are really good friends of mine.
His brother Roxas is sitting next to me, isn't he fucking hot? Sexy little body and an attitude to go with it. "Why are you staring at me Riku? We are not gonna fuck again! Last time I didn't walk right for a week." Yea . . . I fucked him a little hard.
"Don't worry Roxy, besides we all know you and Axel are flirting with one another."
"My ears are tingling . . . is someone talking about me?" Axel the red headed sex addict is one of my good friends.
"Speak of the devil and he shall appear." Roxas rolled his eyes. "Don't encourage him Riku." Axel plopped down next to me and Roxas.
"You two excited about the mission? Their sending 9 of us! Usually don't send that many of us Soldiers." He raised a good question though. Why are they sending so many of us? Usually two or three tops but to send nine of us is crazy.
Everyone started to pour into the room. There was me, Roxas Strife, Axel Shinra, Marluxia Crimson, Larxene Crimson (Marluxia's sister) Lexeaus and Xaldin heart, Saix Crescent and finally our leader Cloud Strife.
Cloud walked up front and picked up the small remote. He clicked a button and the wall behind him light up. He stepped to the side. It was an image of Venus.
"We have a mission and it is a tough one. We are to go to Venus, specifically Endiness. There was a distress signal received roughly 3 hours ago. There was also a video transmission from one of the top Doctors at the company." Cloud clicked again and the video popped up. The image was of a spiky haired brunette. Cloud looked away and hit a button. The video began to play.
"Can anyone see this? Please . . . if anyone gets this, send help to Endiness. Something went wrong . . . they're all dying . . . Some . . . God . . . were we wrong . . . were our ambitions too much?" There was a loud roar and the brunette pulled out a gun and began firing. "Please! Save us!" The video cut out.
I looked at Roxas and he had tears streaming down his face. He was shaking really hard. What was wrong? "Roxas . . . what is it?" He ignored me and spoke to Cloud.
"Cloud, is he . . . is he alive?" Who was he? He had to be someone important to Roxas. He wasn't seeing anyone and I don't know of any other brothers. I've known Roxas for years.
"I don't know. The defense systems are active in the building. It blocks out most signals. Only transmissions and the distress signal can be sent out. Our mission is to go Venus through the Clotho gate here in our tower. The gate will directly send us to Venus inside the lobby of Endiness. Once inside we will secure the lobby and search for survivors. Our mission is to find out what happened, stop it and get all survivors back to earth." I have no clue what happened in the video but apparently something that has a loud T-rex like roar. I am wondering if we will be enough now.
"Any questions?" No one said anything. Cloud gave a slight nod. "Then head to the Gate. We leave in ten minutes." Everyone walked out of the room. I stayed behind to talk to Cloud. He looked at me.
"Commander . . . Cloud?"
"Yes Riku?"
"Who was that? Roxas seemed broken up over whoever he was. His question indicated you knew who he was too." Cloud swallowed like he had something in his throat.
"His name is Sora, Sora Strife. He is my little brother and Roxas's fraternal twin brother. Roxas hasn't spoken to him a long time, about 6 years." Roxas is 21, so 15 was the last time they spoke.
"Will you have resolve to handle this well?" Cloud grabbed me roughly and positioned me in front of him. "Excuse me? Are you trying to act as MY Commander? I am the definition of resolve, Riku. Get down stairs now. I have some things to grab before we leave."
I went to the lobby and waited with the rest. When I got down there I could see Roxas and Axel hugging. He was shaken over this. Cloud must be allowing him only because it's his brother.
Everyone was equipped with all they could carry. I was too but not hugely. I had two pistols, sub machine gun and a katana across my back. The gate came to life and turned on making a red portal appear. "Let's go, Lexeaus, Xaldin, go in first secure the area. Riku, Larxene, Saix, Marluxia and Axel follow behind." We all went through while Roxas and Cloud stayed behind to talk for a minute is my guess.
These portal always suck, I always feel sick afterwards. Around us was the lobby and it seemed ok. There wasn't anyone and the alarm lights were going off. The sirens likely turned off by now. The doors were all sealed shut to prevent anything from getting in or out.
Everyone secured the area and I decided to take a look behind the lobby desk. I wish I hadn't though, there was a dead body. Blood was pooled all around the person.
Cloud and Roxas came in after the discovery and the gate shut off. Marluxia seemed alarmed. "What the fuck? Why is the gate off?" Cloud looked around for a computer terminal. He flipped one out from the wall and typed in the inquiry. The computer audio system activated.
"Dr. Strife has commanded the Gate to Earth remain closed from this side to ensure that nothing escapes. The only way off this planet is through the Lahkesis Gate to the Atropos Gate." At this point the computer should be able to take auditory questions. Cloud did the questioning.
"What happened here?"
"Approximately 3 hours, 47 minutes and 32 seconds ago there was an unforeseen consequence to Project Diablo." What the fuck was that? As if reading my mind Cloud asked.
"What is Project Diablo?"
"That information is classified. All I can say is it is a high energy project for earth. It was believe to benefit the planet." Cloud looked back at us.
"Likely this was a cover for a darker research. Sora was in charge of the project."
"Not entirely accurate, The Owner, Zexion Crescent was the leader of it. Sora was under him and Vexen beneath Sora."
"Who is responsible for the problems here?"
"Anyone involved in the project. Dr. Vexen however is the main cause. His scientific ambition lead to the current situation."
"Which is?"
"I am unable to say. My system doesn't have the ability to properly define what these creatures are. There are several terminals all throughout the facility. You will be able to see video of what has been happening. Dr. Strife has made many recordings as well on these terminals."
"Is Sora alive?"
'I can't sense any life trackers inside the facility. The emergency systems prevent the signals from being known. The last video log by Dr. Strife was approximately 32 minutes ago. It is likely he is still alive."
"Do you know where he is?"
"No, it likely he would've went to the Lahkesis Gate. However that Gate is on the Owner's floor. That floor is locked down. Dr. Strife would have access."
"What do you know of survivors?"
"The third floor has an armory. If there are any, they would be there." Cloud thanked the computer.
"Xaldin and Lexeaus, stay here and guard the lobby. See if you can open those doors. Roxas and Riku come with me, We are going to the Owner's floor to see if we can gain access. You four, get to three and see if you can find survivors. If you do Radio us, we will come down to help you." The computer spoke one final thing and that was the elevators were out. We were going to have to hoof it and take the stairs. This company had 65 floors. This was going to suck.
