Author's Note: I know that Star Trek is not part of Disney or Square Enix. But I am not limiting my vision to those companies. I will include many worlds that are neither Square Enix or Disney related. You got a problem with that? Well tough!
~Kingdom Hearts: The Dark Keyblader~
~Chapter 1: Destructive Power~
"Alright, Xecal," Auron said as he instructed Xecal, the Dark Keyblader, "Let's see how you've improved with you magical abilities. First, cast the basic first level abilities."
"Yes, master Auron," Xecal said, "FIRE!" Xecal pointed his keyblade at an enemy heartless and a flame shot out of it. The heartless ran around trying to put itself out. But his attempts were in vein since the heartless had burnt to death.
"Computer, reset heartless program level one," Auron instructed. Then the dead heartless vanished and an identical one took it's place, "Begin!"
Xecal was training in the holodeck on board the Federation Starship Enterprise. After helping the crew, Xecal was welcomed as part of it.
After his training, Auron decided to 'pull out the big guns', "Let's see just how skilled you have become," Auron said, "Computer, run heartless program level...twenty."
Suddenly, a monstrous heartless appeared. It appeared to be a gigantic dragon of some sort, "Oh crap!" Xecal exclaimed, in awe of the colossal heartless.
"Begin!" Auron announced, and the heartless attacked.
Xecal avoided the attack and pointed his keyblade at the dragon heartless, "FIRAGA!" When he announced the spell...nothing happened. He tried again and again with different spells, "BLIZZAGA!...THUNDAGA!...WATAGA!...TERRAGA!..." Each spell he cast were all failed attempts.
"Perhaps I overestimated his abilities," Auron said to himself as he realized the predicament, "Use your natural abilities!"
Xecal's eyes began to change. The whites of his eyes turned back, the pupils turned white, and the irises began to glow, "SHADAGA!" Xecal announced. Dark energy surrounded his keyblade.
The energy that the keyblade was giving off were becoming to great for the computer system to handle. An warning system began to sound...
WARNING! SYSTEM OVERLOAD!
Xecal lifted up his dark energy infused keyblade and pointed it toward the dragon heartless, holding it with both hands, "DARK KINGDOM..."
"THAT'S ENOUGH!" Auron shouted, "Computer, end program." The heartless vanished and the room returned to it's original grid pattern.
Xecal had returned to normal, "Why'd you end the program?" he asked, a little irritated, "I was just about to defeat that heartless!"
"And destroy the Enterprise along with it," Auron stated, "That was impressive power. But it was also very dangerous. Xecal, you mustn't use that power unless it is imperative that you do. Use it only as a last resort." Auron then turned and headed to the door. But before he went through the door, someone else came through it.
"Our sensors detected that there was an overload in power," a white man with gold eyes said. He wore a black uniform with yellow shoulders. This was an android officer known as lieutenant commander Data, "May I ask what had happened?"
"My dark keyblade was to powerful for the computer system to handle," Xecal said. Data was one of the few people on the Enterprise that he treated as a friend.
"I find it hard unlikely that your keyblade has sufficient power to cause the overload that was detected," Data commented, "However, there is very little that we know about the keyblade. Perhaps it is worth further study."
"There's just one little problem with that," Xecal said as he handed Data the keyblade. He then stepped away a few feet. Then the keyblade vanished from Data's hands and reappeared in Xecal's, "My keyblade is very picky about who has possession of it."
"I also came because our chief engineer designed this key chain for you keyblade," Data added as he gave Xecal the key chain with the Federation symbol on it.
Xecal took a ring that had several key chains on it and he put the one Data gave him on. Then he connected the key chain to his keyblade and it changed forms. The blade itself didn't change shape. But it did take a form that resembled how their transporter systems, but black rather than blue. The handle resembled an overhead view of the enterprise with the saucer section acting as the hand guard. It was dark red.
"That is the Federation Blade," Data said, "It contains a beacon so that if you ever need assistance, we will come to your aid."
"Let's just hope that I never need to use it then," Xecal said.
Suddenly over an intercom, the captain of the Enterprise, Jean-Luc Picard called for Auron and Xecal, "Would Auron and Xecal please report to my ready room."
Auron walked up to the control panel in the holodeck and pushed a button, "We're on our way."
Xecal and Auron headed to the captain's ready room to meet with him, "I'm glad you showed up quickly," Captain Picard praised.
"What did you want us up here for, Jean-Luc?" Xecal asked. Xecal had never been good with authority and being told what to do. So he was rather defiant. He respected authority, he just wasn't good with it.
When Xecal called him Jean-Luc and not captain Picard, he received a disapproving look from the captain. But Xecal was a guest, and not an official member of the crew. Plus, captain Picard was aware of his 'problems' with authority. So he let it slide.
"We have received a message from Disney castle," captain Picard said.
"I message from the king himself?" Xecal asked, "King Mickey?"
"Yes. But because it is addressed as a private message, I will leave you to read it in private," the captain said, "It is addressed to the dark keyblader specifically. But being Xecal's trainer, I believe you have a right to see it as well," he mentioned to Auron.
"Right. Thank you, captain," Auron commented. Once captain Picard left the ready room, They looked at the message that they got...
Dark Keyblader,
We are in need of your assistance. Once again, heartless are appearing on several worlds once again. We also have reason to believe that the Organization has been rebuilt. They have all new members of the organization from several different worlds. Like before, they are lead by Nobodies.
I want you to take down the Organization and stop them from finishing their plans. I am not sure yet of what it is they plan. But we can't take any chances.
Go to Traverse Town and seek out Cait Sith. I will have Auron relay more instructions for you once you find him. Good luck.
The King,
Mickey Mouse
"It seems that we've got a mission," Xecal said.
"No," Auron said, "We do not. This message was for you, Xecal. And that means that this is your mission. Not mine."
"But..."
"Like the king said," Auron continued, "I will keep you informed. So I will still have my part to play. But the king trusts you with this mission."
Xecal put on a serious expression full of confidence, "Right, I won't let him down."
Later, an officer was pushing buttons on a control panel as Xecal was standing on one of the transporter spaces, "Coordinates set and ready," the officer said.
Auron, Data, and captain Picard were there to see Xecal off, "Good luck on your missions, Xecal," the captain said, "I know you won't let the king down."
"It'll be a piece of cake," Xecal replied.
"Inquiry," Data said, "Why do you refer to your mission as a dessert?"
"It's a figure of speech," Auron stated, "He meant that it would be no problem."
"I'm ready," Xecal informed.
"I hope to see you soon," captain Picard said.
"Same to you, captain," Xecal replied, giving his respect to Jean-Luc Picard, "Let's go!"
"Alright then," the captain said, "Energize." the officer who was working on the control panel pushed up on a switch and the transporter activated. Xecal became surrounded by a blue shimmering energy. Then Xecal slowly vanished in a shimmering energy.
It seems that Xecal has a great, and destructively dangerous power. But he has gained a new Keyblade, along with a new mission from king Mickey himself. But who is this Cait Sith? And what is his purpose in the mission?
~The Dark Keyblader, Alec~
