The 15th Key

TK: Hey guys, sorry for the wait but HW and school projects got in the way. You should be glad I can't work because then this would have never gotten done. Anyway, sorry for the abrupt end. Note: this is listed under Roxas because he's my favorite character and there is not an OC on the character list. Sorry for misleading you. Alright, let's get this show on the road! Grey will you do the honors?

Grey: Of course. The 15th Key is a non profit, fan based story. Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy are both owned by Square Enix. Please support the official release.

Chapter 2: Just the Beginning

"Yes and then he disappeared into a swirling black and purple portal" I said with a grimace on my face as I remembered my home world's destruction. I used to always buy a Sea Salt Ice Cream and sneak my way up to the Train Station Clock Tower. I would watch the sun as it started to disappear behind the horizon. That was the one place where I could truly enjoy being alone. Riku noticed my frown and said "Don't worry about it; your world isn't gone forever. It's just been consumed by the darkness". I was about to say I want to help but he put his hand, knowing what I was going to say.

"You're not ready to fight anyone yet" He said in a lecturing tone. "You have no form of transportation, no previous training in wielding a sword, have no idea how to control your magic, and your current clothes would not be able to withstand the heat of battle". I was about to summon my Keyblade, to show that I was capable, but he stopped me again. "A Keyblade does not prove you have what it takes" He then poked the middle of my chest. "Your heart does". After a few moments of silence, we both started laughing at how corny that was.

"Still, it is your heart that decides, no matter how corny it sounds" he said giggling somewhat. I nodded, my previous frown completely gone. "Now comes the matter of training you" his tone more serious. " We will have Master Yen Sid decide if I can train you and we will see if his assistants can make some new clothes for you. If he approves then, I'll teach you how to control your inner darkness." I nodded. "We leave in 25 minutes so eat if you want, explore, whatever you want, just don't get lost okay ?".

25 Minutes Later

I walked down the hallway with a rolling suitcase, packed by Aerith. The hallway opened up to a helipad. On the helipad was sleek black ship about the size of a small one story house. It had to wings that were frayed at the back edge. The back of the ship was a black frayed extension surrounding the boosters, making it look like tail feathers. As I walked around to the front where the cockpit was and on the side written in Scratch letters were the words Celestial Crow.

I walked to the back side of the ship to see Riku talking with Cid. Cid saw the amusement in my eyes and said "This ship was built from the original design of gummi ship called The Highwind 8. The ship was heavily damaged during the Battle of Dreadnought, a space battle between Sora, another keyblade wielder, and an enemy fleet, the ship was so badly damaged that it couldn't withstand going through the enemy's atmosphere, so they teleported down to the surface and left in orbit. I eventually recovered the ship and repaired it just enough so it could enter Radiant Garden's atmosphere. When I landed it in the cargo bay, it fell apart. I salvaged a few parts but everything else was recycled. " He turned around with his hand on his hips, marveling at the ship. I've put the latest and greatest parts into this ship. I've put my blood, sweat, and tears into the Crow." Then he turned around and gave both me and Riku a death glare so intense, I flinched and covered my face awaiting a hit of some sort. When it didn't come i popped my head out. He kept giving the glare while saying " if you hurt my ship you'll have wished that you had never gotten that giant sword you call a keyblade, but the pain will be so intense that will be that last thing you think about". I just started at him incredulously, not believing that the once calm engineer had become so hostile in mere seconds. I guess dealing with shadow creatures that steal the hearts of people can do that to a guy. He dropped the remote ship control(which just called the ship to there location, called down the boarding walkway, etc) in Riku's hands and walked away. Riku then pressed a button on the control lowering the boarding walkway. We walked up into the ship, which seemed very technological. There were pipes and tanks in certain parts but there were cosier parts of the ship. There were two barracks one for girls and one for boys, each one containing about 2 bunk beds(4 beds per room). The bathtub and shower were separate in each bathroom, and there was at least one extra bathroom for emergencies. There was a fully stocked kitchen with an electric stove and refrigerator. Connected to the kitchen was a dining room/ meeting room. The chairs were made from oak wood and had blue cushioning with gold trim. While the table was dark wood with a blue table cover with gold trim. The cockpit had all sort of dials, buttons, and switches. Some were weapons, while others were just a release switch for the waste tank. I put my suitcase in the bedroom and moved up to the cockpit which had a ladder that went down to the engine room. I took next to Riku. He started flipping switches and turning dials, until finally the engine roared to life. I buckled up and he turned to me and asked "Are you ready for your first flight into space?" (the rescue didn't count because he was unconscious) " As ready as I'll ever be" I said with a nervous grin. Then with a jolt the Celestial Crow rose up from the helipad and shot up into the sky. The ride through the atmosphere wasn't as bumpy I thought it would be, though that was probably thanks to Cid. As we were going through Radiant Garden's atmosphere, the world looked so beautiful. A bright city made of blue, whites and some purple. The castle stood out the most with its white marble and gold structures, then again this was just a mere glimpse as we were going pretty fast. The ship halted outside the atmosphere and asked for a destination. "The Mysterious Tower" said Riku in clear voice. "Destination accepted, prepare for the activation of the Warp Drive, estimated time until arrival,1 hour." said the ships computer in a feminine voice. Do I dare ask what warp drive is?! Just as I was putting on my sacred as what face, the ship was surrounded in a clear, sparkly, purple sphere of light, and then the computer started counting down from five. At one I screamed, what's does it mean by"- I was cut off when the the ship said zero, shot forward, with me screaming all the way.

TK: Soooo how did I do? I know horrible filler and horrible humor but I can't just leave it at the cliffhanger like I did and make him just appear at the Tower. So next chapter more story and important stuff like traveling clothes.

Note: I will eventually upload another story that was in my docs files for awhile. That story's world will be in this story, but not until like the fourth or fifth world. So just make sure you read the other story before you read this one. Cya next time readers!
