Chapter 1: Dive to the Heart/Destiny of Speed
Pillars. Pillars made of stained glass everywhere. Each one had a different style. The one that the 16-year-old Blur was standing on depicted three heroes of a world full of small creatures. These heroes were different: a blue hedgehog, a yellow fox with two tails and a red echidna. All of a sudden, dark creatures with yellow eyes start to form from the ground.
"What the heck? What's going on?" Blur yells. The beasts sense his presence and start to move towards him. Quickly, he runs in the opposite direction, only to be held up by the edge of the pillar. Blur turns back to the creatures, and raises his arms as one of them lunges at him. A burst of light knocked the creature back, and Blur looked in amazement at what he was holding.
"A-a Keyblade?" In his right hand was probably the most weakest and unknown form of Keyblade: Kingdom Key 0, a grey version of the Kingdom Key. "Why isn't there any colour?"
There is no colour because you have yet to find your true self. The voice sounded like that of a young girl. He looked around for the source of the voice, but found only the creatures.
"What do you mean 'my true self'?" Blur had no clue what she meant, but had to block a lunge from the creature, which drove the thought from his mind.
There's no time to explain. Use that Keyblade to beat the Shadows. Blur twirled the weapon in his hand, and then aimed the end at them.
"Looks like I don't have a choice," he said as he charged at the 'Shadows'. He struck them down with one blow each, the Shadows being significantly weak. "What, that's it? I thought there'd be more of a challenge."
Just wait. Fighting isn't just about strength, it's also about style and technique. The girl was right, for a new enemy type appeared, and three of them at that. These were more humanoid, but were thin and had zippers on their mouths. Looks like Dusks, be careful. They charged at him, so Blur went on the defence and blocked their attacks. He sensed an opening in one of the Dusks, so he lunged and struck it twice before being hit in the back.
"Damn you guys are flexible," he cursed. They appear to have no real bones, doing flips and twirls without a care, even floating above the ground slightly.
They are smarter than the Shadows, so you need to outsmart them. He lunged at the Dusk one more time, striking twice, sliding behind it before it struck him and striking back.
"Yeah! How do you like me now?" He shouted.
Calm down, you still have to defeat them. Regaining focus, he listened to the girl's voice and proceeded to defeat the Dusks using the technique he used before. When the Dusks where defeated, he was slightly worn but his curiosity kept him focused.
"Is this supposed to be a test? I only ask because it seems too easy." The girl didn't answer, as a stained glass bridge appeared, leading away to another pillar. When he made it to the other pillar, she spoke to him again.
The world is already full of light, and with that, there will always be darkness. A new evil seeks to rid the world of personality, and you, along with others, have been chosen to protect the world using the one thing unique to you people: colour! The black void around him started disappearing, revealing a stained glass dome. The centre of the dome's ceiling had a picture of a crown surrounded by the Heartless, Nobody, Unversed and Dream Eater symbols. All of a sudden, the colour started to fade and become monochromatic. The source was the centre of the pillar, which burst open to reveal a monochromatic, two-legged behemoth, which stared at him with blank, black eyes.
"You're a big one. Let's see what you've got." Blur charged at it and, when he hit it, his Keyblade shattered. "What? What happened?" He tried summoning it back but had no luck. The behemoth pick him up, threw him in the air, jumped and smashed Blur down. He crashed into the pillar and shattered it, leaving him to fall into the void.
Everyone falls to darkness, but they manage to find light in others. Now, they are at threat of losing what makes them unique. You must be the one to open the door and protect the individuality of everyone. The one thing you must do: you must enter the Keyblade Royale Tounament.
Blur woke with a start, yelling as if he had a bad nightmare. He was sweaty, and his hand hurt a little. What a crazy dream, he thought, looking out his window. He looked down and noticed that he fell asleep in his day clothes; his red jacket, yellow shirt and blue shorts crumpled from sleeping in them. Oh well, looks like I'm wearing the same clothes today. He jumped out of bed, put on his shoes and went downstairs.
His dad and 8-year-old sister Kara greeted him when he went into the kitchen to grab some breakfast.
"What are you having for breakfast son?" his dad asked. Blur opened the cupboard, looked through it and spotted a tin of biscuits. He grabbed a few of them in his hand and held it up to show his dad.
"Right, I'll be home later," Blur announced.
"Blair, wait." Blur stopped, hating being called by his actual name. "I want to talk to you about working with me at the post office." His dad works at the only post office on the mainland of Destiny Islands. This made Blur huff in irritation.
"I don't want to do any boring job, okay? I want to do what I want to do." His dad looked at him, a serious expression across his face.
"What, you think you can make money off those stupid dances you do with your friends? Is that how you want to live your life?" Blur turned back to his father.
"Maybe it is," Blur responds. "Maybe I wanna dance so people can enjoy it. So I can enjoy it." His father's expression did not change in the slightest. "Whatever, I'm out." Blur turns back and walks out the door, slamming it behind him.
He grabbed his bike from the shed, wheeled it out to the front of the house when Kara called out to him from the porch.
"Will you come back? I don't want you to leave angry." Blur put up a brave act in front of his sister, and smiled at her.
"Of course I'll come back. Someone's got to help you with your dancing." Kara smiled and nodded at him, turning and going back inside. Blur climbs on his bike and pushes off towards the beach, where the dance competition.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Two teams are left in the Destiny Dance Finals, competing to be the best dance group in the whole of Destiny Islands!" The crowd roared in excitement at the announcer's introduction. "The two teams are Team Monochrome and Team Colourmatic! Let's give them a round of applause!" The crowed roared into life, clapping and cheering the dance groups. The dancers began to climb up on either side of the stage.
As the teams went on stage, Blur arrived on his bike and joined the others in his team, Team Colourmatic. He took his place next to Kiera, one of his teammates and closest friends. She looked up at him as he took his place.
"Cutting it kinda close, don't you think?" she whispered to Blur.
"What can I say, I love to be fashionably late," Blur responded sarcastically.
"Father problems?" She asks, crossing her arms.
"Like you wouldn't believe."
"You tell him you don't want to work in a post office?" Blur looks at her, irritated not at her but at his dad still.
"I don't want to tell him anymore, I give up." He lowered his gaze, away from Kiera's eyes. She reached under his chin and lifted his head so they were looking in each other's eyes.
"He'll understand. I'm sure in the end, he'll support you." Blur was about to respond when the announcer said it was time to start.
"All right dancers! Ready, set, start battle!"
