Unlocking the Door

Alan and Nadia soon found themselves back in the dark abyss where Aranse resided in his orb state in confusion. Alan then asked the mighty former head of the Rulius Court, "Aranse, I don't understand. What's going on? Shouldn't Nadia and I be in another world right now?" Aranse then replied, "That would be the case since you pressed the yellow button on your watch, but in this matter there are bigger circumstances occuring. One of the doors has been glowing since your encounter in Destiny Island..." As Aranse said this all five of the doors to Fear, Sorrow, Anger, Love, and Happiness appeared right behind Nadia and Alan. The glowing door was the 'Door to Love' in a pink colour (since love is best represented by pink). "...and as you can see that is the very same door you traveled through my boy. I believe these doors will explain as to why an epidemic like this is occuring." Alan then asked, "It can?" Aranse then explained, "Many eons ago, my planet along with the rest of the universe had an all out war over the stars in the north of your planet, Earth. My planet and its people succeeded and won the war, but at a timely cost. We had lost a lot of our people to do so and when we did, all the emotions the people had during the fight, whether sad, or happy, angry, fear, or love had accumulated together. Slowly piece by piece they came together to created these five doors that stand before you. This was because my kind had a special kind of heart in which we could predict emotions that would occur to us without having to actually experience them." Nadia then responded, "I know this might be a little bit rude, but what does that have to do with what's happening now?"

Aranse continued, "Over the years, my people watched over it with great honour and respect for many years. Yet there was little they could do. The effects of the doors spread all across the universe and when people died, their hearts were made into a bigger heart we called the 'Heart of the World'. Many of my people competed against each other to see who would be responsible for keeping the doors shut to prevent its effects from going all the way across the universe. Above all the people of my planet, came only five great ones as we called the "Knights of the Realm" who succeeded. Their job was to protect the doors to Love, Sorrow, Anger, Fear, and Happiness with their lives and keep them closed , those very sam doors that had been created from that war just decades earlier. The doors had extreme power over us and was the key to the hearts of the world and its people. Every time people felt that specific emotion, they would litterally power the doors themselves from all of the commotion. The knights eventually went mad with power and decided to use the doors to control our people and get their hearts desires. They were banished ever since, and they swore revenge on us all. I also believe that these 'Viraltroopers' are the work of these knights trying to control the doors. Which is where you all come in. My people prophesized about locking these doors, which could easily be opened, but had no key to lock them. If they were to be locked, they wouldn't have any control over us. Not only that, but perhaps the hearts of those who ceased to exist could return to their normal states as well." Alan and Nadia then took out their keyblades and noticed that their clothes changed as well. Alan's changed to a more tree bark beige suit with a cape to match, while Nadia's clothes changed to a rose red dress instead that was well suited to match her feminine looks and grace. As they entered the Door to Love, Aranse then said, "Good Luck, wielders of the key. You may need it."

As they entered inside, they noticed it was just a small battle arena that looked like that of hockey rink. At the centre was a giant sludge looking seal. It had pink orb glowing from inside its belly and Nadia immediately thought, 'That seal must be the controling the heart in this door.' She then said to Alan, "Alan, it makes sense now!!" "What makes sense?", he asked. "Don't you remember Aranse's story. He said the doors controlled them right? What if these Viraltroopers somehow were created from these doors? What if someone else was behind creating these doors during that war he talked about. This being could have an entire planet under his or her control." Alan then said as he jumped on the seal's back, "Well it sounds like a good theory. Let's expand on it after we're done unlocking this door." Nadia nodded and zapped the beast four times. Yet the giant monster whacked Nadia with its brute like tail and it ran over Nadia with its giant abdomen and then it shook its head violently to evade Alan as it whacked him with its tail.

Alan then said trying to stand up and holding his left shoulder, "This could be a little tougher than I thought." Nadia then tried to distract the monster by dashing around in circles, but the beast simply whacked both Alan and Nadia with its giant tail again. Nadia then said, "That tail is really starting to bug me!!" Alan then thought while looking at the giant seal's tail, 'That's it.' Alan then put both of his hands on Nadia's shoulders, "You aim for its stomach. It'll temporarily knock it out cold and then zap its tail a few times. While you're doing that I'll go up on its back and zap the heart inside thus freeing it and then we can unlock this door." Nadia then nodded in slight confusion as Alan whispered in her ear, "Its the Door to Love so we have to do whatever it takes to get through it together." Nadia nodded confidently and then zapped the seal's stomach on cue and then zapped the tail to paralyze it. Meanwhile, Alan did exactly as he planned it out and zapped the heart inside the beast and the seal turned into a giant lock and meanwhile the heart stood right above it. Alan and Nadia then aimed their white and pink keyblades towards the lock and zapped it. With that the lock disappeared and a giant earthquake occurred. The heart disappeared as well and in its place had shown a set of what looked like the top of the round parts of the 'heart' in poetic drama.

It slowly disappeared and the shaking stopped and then Alan asked, "What in the world was that?" "I have no idea, but whatever it was, we sure have to be careful from now on.", Nadia responded. As they both left the room, the Door to Love glowed pink rapidly and as it closed behind them, the door vanished without a trace. Aranse then said, "What a turn of events. It seems to me that the heart in there started to form an even bigger heart." Alan then asked, "You saw this too?" "Oh yes. I saw the battle and the aftermath. I can also tell that it looks like a heart because I saw two half circles representing the upper ridges of the heart and what's more that door disappeared. This is no coincidence. Those doors disappearing are what's going to get rid of the 'Viraltroopers once and for all." Nadia then asked, "You knew that they originated in these doors too?" Aranse then replied, "Oh yes I did. My people knew which was why we had a meeting in the first place to discuss how to close the doors. If they were to be closed, the being responsible for harnessing their immense powers could be stopped and this madness could end." Alan then saw a light coming from the watch he was given before and the yellow button was glowing. Aranse then said, "You'd best be going young ones. Your journey awaits." Alan and Nadia nodded and then said their goodbyes to Aranse as they pressed the glowing button on the watch and disappeared, like the Door to Love, without a trace.

(So as you have read, that's how the hearts of worlds could have existed was because those doors had a special essence that created the hearts of worlds (something similar could happen, but most likely not in KH BBS.) Also, when each door is closed as you have read, is contributing to creating Kingdom Hearts as well. I will expand on that more as well as the "Knights of the Realm" since their appearence in this chapter and the knights from the last chapter have a deep connection to each other. Also in the next few chapters I will reveal who was responsible for creating the doors in the first place. So stay tuned.)
