T: Hello, this is my first Kingdom Hearts Story ever written and is based on my idea of what KH3 might be like. Starts off 15 years before Kingdom Hearts 1 and slowly progresses to the events after KH2. Chapter 18 continues after KH2, it is recommended that you read the chapters before that to understand the story, besides there is some crazy humour in this story.
T: This is my first chapter, it has been modified, so those who have read before and notice it is different, do not worry. For those who have just found it, you get the somewhat better version.
T: Anyway, read and enjoy the first chapter of Kingdom Hearts III: Origin of the Keyblade...
It has been passed down through legend, from generation to the next. The legend of the mystical weapon, a weapon that in the right hands, can save worlds, entire galaxies, even the universe. But in the wrong hands, will bring forth destruction and ruin upon all. This weapon is known as the Keyblade, only those with a strong heart may wield this weapon as it simply cannot be wielded by anyone. The weapon is alive, it is sentient, it chooses who is worthy to wield its power, these individuals are known as the Keyblade wielders.
These individuals can call upon it in times of need, how they are used is up to the wielder. Some go towards the road of light and uphold the noble tradition, or some slip into darkness and dream of destruction and chaos. These individuals have been fighting for millennia, and even now it continues, while there aren't as many wielders now, the war between light and dark rages on.
It has been prophesised that when the Great Darkness has been awakened, three wielders will be born. These wielders will be born on the same day and posses overwhelming power, one shall wield the divine power of holy, one shall wield both light and dark and the other will possess the power to fully control the darkness and bend it to their will.
It is foretold that these three will save the universe from the great darkness and restore proper balance between light and dark, ending the Great War. They will endure many hardships and trials, but they will overcome these.
Now the Great Darkness has awakened, worlds have already fallen to its power and army, now the fate of the universe lies with these three.
In the vast reaches of space lies a peaceful world, nestled safely in the realm of light. This world is known as Destiny Islands, this world has never had much influence from darkness and is one of the worlds that first had a Keyblade wielder. As a result, the people of this world respect the power of the Keyblade and in a way, worship them.
It has been 35 years since a Keyblade wielder has been chosen on this world, and people are beginning to believe that the weapon no longer exists. The mayor of Destiny Islands, wishes to harness the power of the Keyblade and use it for his own purposes. For this he has called forth many scientists from Destiny Islands and other nearby planets, due to the discovery of 'Gummies', the engineers of Destiny Islands have been able to create ships from these to travel between worlds.
One of the scientists gathered was a scientist referred to as Professor Hojo, back on his home world, he was considered a genius next to Professor Gast, the top scientist that their world has ever known. He was an expert in many fields, which the Mayor was really impressed with, he was hired as the lead scientist for the project.
The purpose of the experiment was to create an living human being with the power to wield a Keyblade, many of Destiny Islands scientists and council members disagreed with this, saying it was against nature by creating a human with the ability to wield it. Many of them were worried encase the Keyblade refused the created life form and deem this planet, unworthy.
However, they had gathered many resources that could most likely trick the Keyblade into thinking that this life form wasn't created but born into the world like a normal human would. For this several materials were gathered, one of these was a blood sample, kept frozen for years, from one of the later Keyblade wielders, the other was a substance referred to by the scientists as 'Pure light'. This was one of the most vital ingredients needed to create the life form since without it, the child wouldn't be able to wield the Keyblade.
The last ingredient was known as the 'Lifestream'. Professor Hojo had introduced this to the other scientists and said with this, they would be able to create the life form without any difficulty. When everything was ready, they would begin the experiment the next day.
But little did the people of Destiny Islands know was that somewhere in the universe, others were watching the events unfolding.
Everything had been assembled; the ingredients were all linked successfully, the main chamber was ready and in perfect order. Professor Hojo had overseen all this to make sure it would work; he had created the machine himself and was quite proud of it as well.
Above the test room was the mayor and the other politicians and nobles that had come to see this 'amazing' event as the Mayor had called it. They sat behind radioactive proof glass encase something unexpected were to happen, Hojo had assured them that nothing bad would happen during the experiment.
Hojo had walked into the test room and was checking things over with the rest of the science team; the team consisted of Destiny Islands top scientists. They were connecting all of the necessary ingredients to the creation chamber, it stood in the middle of the room and was quite large as well. The scientists were connecting two of the materials via connecting tubes; one was from a small Mako reactor which would contain the Lifestream, the other was from the container that held the 'Pure light'.
"Professor, we're ready to start anytime." One of the younger scientists informed Hojo.
"...Start the experiment" Hojo replied to the scientist.
The sound of the machines starting up was like music to Hojo's ears, he loved it how they would start off as a low hum and then build up to a loud roar always brought a smile to his face. The connecting tube from the Mako reactor began to glow the same green as the Lifestream made its way into the main reactor. When the Lifestream entered the Creation Chamber, the room brightened up due to Lifestream in the machine.
"Is it meant to be that bright?" an observer asked to no one in particular.
"No need to worry, everything is going perfectly" Hojo replied trying to get them to ease down.
Next, the "Pure Light" was transferred into the chamber along with the Lifestream. At first it entered and swirled in the chamber just like the Lifestream was.
Just as I suspected, the lifestream and "Pure Light" are merging without any difficulty.
"Energy levels rising to 70 sir." One of the team members informed Hojo.
"... Good, good keep going." Everything was going as planned, this pleased Hojo.
"Adding blood sample YK89 Z0"
A machine arm grabbed the blood sample from within the freezing chamber; the machines arm was made of a material that could resist freezing cold temperatures. It then inserted the container with the blood into the main chamber. All three ingredients were now mixing within the machine and there wasn't any sign of rejection among the ingredients.
Excellent, everything is going correctly. Fantast-
The room turned red due to the warning sirens that were blasting out loud.
"Radiation levels within the chamber are rapidly increasing!!" Yelled one of the scientists.
Wait! WHAT!! That shouldn't be happening!! None of the ingredients contained any radiation at all!!
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?" Hojo yelled.
"We can't control it! It's building up too much energy!" Exclaimed one of the team.
"I WANT THAT ENERGY CONTAINED!!" Hojo was beginning to doubt this team; they were struggling to keep the energy contained.
The main chamber began to glow different colours, from green to red, blue yellow and purple every 2 seconds. This abnormal behaviour began to worry not just the science team but Hojo as well, he had been a scientist for years and he had never seen anything like it before.
Then the contents inside the chamber exploded, shattering all the equipment and the glass that the mayor and the rest of those suits were in too.
What just happened?
Hojo moved towards the creation chamber ignoring the moans from everyone around him who had been blown back from the explosion. When he got close, he felt a bit of heat from the machine, he tried to see if there was anything in the chamber. Although deep down something told him there was nothing in there, how could there be after that explosion.
He thought he saw something in the smoke, when he looked harder his face went from serious to shocked, he saw a shadow in the smoke. A smile crept on his face as he saw the shadow, it grew bigger when he saw another shadow next to it, there were two life forms in the chamber.
And after the smoke began to clear away everyone was bickering saying 'what happened', little did they know of the two newborns in the chamber. Hojo on the other hand was smiling and laughing, he couldn't believe there were two infants in the chamber. He was happy the experiment was successful, but now he was thrilled at the fact that they had created two beings instead of one.
He went over to one of the desks and picked up a scanner, this was made to guarantee that the life form contained all three necessary components. He scanned both babies and was shocked at the fact both of them seemed to have the same amount as one had. This puzzled Hojo, he couldn't determine how both of them possessed an equal amount of the substance, he would need to do further experiments on them. But for now he was smiling and laughing, this got everyone confused until Hojo turned around.
"The experiment is a success!!" Hojo yelled, this was followed by the science team cheering and the politicians clapping, congratulating them in creating the life forms.
The only people who weren't celebrating were two of the nobles in the observation platform, one of them had blonde hair with a small beard, and his clothes indicated he was important. The other observer looked like an anthropomorphic mouse; he had two black ears and wore clothes indicating he was royalty. The two of them looked concerned at what they had saw, particularly the man; he exchanged glances with his friend and looked at the two newborns.
T: There we are, hope you found it interesting.
