Author's Note: I was inspired to write a Kingdom Hearts fanfic from bizzleb and his Kingdom Hearts stories. The ironic thing is that I've never even read his Kingdom Hearts stories (unless you count 'Key to the Heart' and 'Key to the Soul'). I do plan on reading them sometime though.

~Kingdom Hearts: The Dark Keyblader~

~Prologue~

A teenage boy with short brown hair was laying on a beach. He was wore a blue hooded sweatshirt, faded bluejeans, and white sneakers. He opened his eyes to reveal that he had brown eyes. As he stood up, he revealed that he was about five feet tall and had an average build.

"Talk about boring!" the boy said, "Nothing exciting happens around here!"

"You've been saying that for over five years, Alec," another boy about the same age as Alec said, "But saying it won't change anything." The second boy had short spiky brown hair, brown eyes, and glasses. He wore a black T-shirt and biker shorts. He was about the same size as Alec, but taller by an inch or two and slimmer.

"I know, Raymond," Alec replied, "I just can't help it."

"Well once we finish that boat, we can get off this island and go to other lands," Raymond said, "That will be exciting, right?"

"When we get to the other lands, sure," Alec said, "But the weeks on end on the boat while we're traveling will also be VERY boring."

"You have a knack for looking on the negative side of everything, don't you?"

"No. I just have a knack for spotting the negative side," Alec said with a half grin, "But I look to the plus side."

"Well then, let's finish up that boat so we can leave." Alec and Raymond got up and went to work on the said boat.

As the two boys gathered materials for the boat, they were suddenly attacked by what can only be described as shadow creatures, seeing as they rose from the shadows.

"What the hell are these things?" Raymond asked as he managed to fend off one of the creatures.

"I dunno!" Alec replied as he too fended off another creature, "But at least it's not boring!"

Raymond face-palmed at Alec's comment. They were being attacked by dozens of...who knows what, and Alec was excited because it wasn't 'boring'.

Alec and Raymond managed to make their way to the shed. There, they got out two wooden swords. They were mainly used by the two to pass the time. They wouldn't work well as weapons. But they would at least work as a defense.

The two teens managed to fend off the creatures for several minutes. But they wouldn't stop coming. That's when a...a hole opened up. Out of the hole came two boys. One of them was younger than them. He had brown spiky hair and blue eyes. He wore baggy pants and a short-sleeved shirt. He had a sword that resembled a key.

The other was a young adult and wore black T-shirt with red shoulders, and black biker shorts with red stripes down the sides. He had black and red sneakers. He was six feet three inches and had short brown hair with a dark red hue, and red eyes. He had a slightly muscular build. He had a sword that resembled a key like the other. But his was black with a red handle...

X~~~~~X

Xecal...wake up.

The young man awoke to his trainer's voice, "It's time for training," his trainer said. The trainer was older with a supposedly limp arm. He wore a large red robe-like overcoat that had several straps all around it. His hair was beginning to go gray. He wore a large collar that covered his mouth, and a pair of sunglasses. He wielded a large sword that he carried on his back. Strapped to the side of his coat was a large jug that he drank from.

"It was just a dream..." Xecal said to himself as he got up, "Yes, master Auron. I'm ready for training." Xecal was the same young man that he saw in his dream. The one with the black and red key-like sword. He was in his mid twenties.

Xecal held out his hand and focused. Then, a sword began to materialize in his hand. It was the same key-like sword, AKA the Keyblade. His however was no ordinary Keyblade. It was black with a red handle and was composed of dark energy. It was known as a Dark Keyblade. Xecal was a Dark Keyblader.

Well, here is my Kingdom Hearts fanfic. I hope you like the prologue. And if you didn't, I hope you like the rest of the story instead. I chose Auron as the trainer because I think he's awesome, even if he's old.

I'll give one million cookies to whoever can guess what that dream meant. Or more specifically, the message that I'm trying to get across.

Pronunciations:
Xecal – Zekal

~The Dark Keyblader, Alec~
