Africa
As Alan and Nadia travelled into the next world, they found themselves in a place like no other. There was nothing, but vast jungles about and tall grasses all around them. Alan soon found on his watch that they were on the continent of Africa. Yet even as they planned their next moves, they felt like they were being watched. One swift move to the left came a noise and Nadia then asked after a few more twig branches being snapped, "Can we just go? This place gives me the creeps." Alan nodded and then as they began to leave, they saw a giant terror bird appear and nearly rip the living shreds out of them. Alan and Nadia then summoned their keyblades and did battle with the monster. Yet even as Alan slashed at its beak and Nadia tried distracting it, three more of them appeared. Alan then said whacking each of the birds on the heads to weaken them, "We ought to retreat to safety. These things are too riled up." Yet even as Alan had said this, a man with curled hair in a loin cloth of the sort appeared and drove his spear through one of the terror birds heads as Alan aided him and sliced another of the terror bird's heads clean off. Then as the other birds ran away, Alan and the primitive cave man looked at each other. This caveman in particular, looked like he could be about twenty five at most because he didn't have a beard and his facial features weren't really rough at all. In a word, he was like Tarzan, but from a forgotten time in history. Yet automatically thanks to the watch, the language barrier was somehow removed and the caveman could speak to them in English, even though in realty, Alan and Nadia began speaking in caveman language. They then began explaining to each other who they were and what they were doing. "So you're D'Leh. Weird name for a man, but we'd still be willing to help you out. We'll get Evolet. Plus maybe you can help us out if you see anything out of the ordinary." D'Leh then replied, "I wish I could help, but I have not seen these creatures you call 'Viraltroopers'. No one on my travels has seen them either." Alan, Nadia and D'Leh then made their trek out of the jungles and into a grave large smoking baked desert just beyond the lush paradise.
As they treked through harsh terrain, they landed in a thick fog late in the night. Alan, Nadia and D'Leh fell through a hole in the ground and fell unconscious. As they awoke, they saw a Sabretooth stuck under a huge pile of fallen wood beams and the hole was slowly filling up fast. Nadia screamed and said, "Alan, we better get going. I don't think we're safe with that cat. How about you D'Leh?" D'Leh reached his spear up high to end the big cat's life. He hesitated as Nadia asked, " D'Leh?" D'Leh put down his spear as he said, "You'd better not kill me when I save you!!" Then he told Alan to help him move the beams. Alan at first thought of the worst, but helped out anyway because it was for D'Leh. The cat broke though and was over eight feet in height (if he stood on his hind legs that is!!) The sabretooth cat surrounded Alan, Nadia and D'Leh at the cavern walls. The giant predator roared as it sniffed its rescuers. Then it jumped above them and climbed out of the trap it was in. Then our three travellers climbed out as well and began to leave for the nearest village. As Alan and Nadia examined D'Leh's weapon, Nadia then asked, "Say D'Leh. I know it might be rude of me, but may I ask what kind of spear that is. It looks pretty and powerful." "It is the White Spear of the North. It was supposed to be won by the man of our tribe that brought down the lead male mammoth. With this spear I would be able to marry any girl I pleased hence why I am after Evolet. The 'four legged demons' took her shortly after the hunt. But what really pains me is that I didn't win against the mammoth. My own spear was caught in a cleft of a rock and I ducked as the beast rushed right towards me not aware of the accidental trap. Everyone thought I was their hero. That's a laugh though." Alan held D'Leh's shoulder as he said, "I know your pain my friend. Sometimes life hurts. Now we'd better go find Evolet." As he nodded they soon arrived in a small broken down dirt village. People black in skin colour and covered in either bones or leathered cloths from the prey they killed appeared confronting the three warriors. A purple sabretooth cat appeared with a heart on its back and Alan said, "Oh no!!" D'Leh asked what was happening and Nadia told him of the Viraltroopers and their ability to take any shape they pleased, but a heart on their backs remained a constant reminder of who they were. "Then we must fight this beast!! It's our only chance." Yet even as Alan and Nadia combined their keyblade efforts with D'Leh's spear capabilities as well, the sabretooth Viraltrooper wouldn't fall. It stood over them ready to kill, but at the last moment, the same sabretooth that they saved back in the pittrap saved them in the end and with its power supreme killed the mighty beast as the heart disappeared into another land.
The Sabretooth confronted the three warriors and slowly recognised who they were and sought to protect them from the Naku tribe. As it ran off into the desert, Alan, Nadia and D'Leh unaware of what had happened had been proclaimed as heroes. Hours had passed that night, as D'Leh and Alan as well as Nadia had been called in by Nakudu, leader of the Naku. They slowly began to speak of a prophecy of the one who spoke to the Spear tooth would become a hero to all. (In fact by the previews saying: the First Hero ever.) Nakudu then asked Alan, "You who wields such an impressive weapon of the land, what is your purpose here in these lands?" Alan then told Nakudu of the Knights of the Realm and their purpose in the worlds. He then replied saying, "I saw a silver knight head towards the North along with the four legged demons. He said that he would plunge this world into darkness. My people have fretted every day and night over this horror, but we are powerless to stop him." The next day, Alan, Nadia, D'Leh and Nakudu as well as the Naku tribe made their leave towards the "Mountain of the gods" where Evolet along with many other people from D'Leh's tribe were being taken. Along the way treking through more and more desert, they gathered more and more people who were willing to fight as well. Soon enough though, they had made it. They came upon a giant pyramid and along with it a whole civilization to inhabit it. Inside as they overlooked it from high sand dunes were mammoths being used as tools, as well as many of the people inside being whipped to do work. D'Leh then yelled, "Those cowards. They'll regret ever coming to our villages." Alan and Nadia then zapped light into the sky and into the weapons of each of the warriors, including D'Leh's white spear. Then a charge began. They stormed inside the pyramid and stealthily released the mammoths from their binds and freed many people from their ropes and cuffs. Then near the lowest parts of the pyramid, particularily the entrace to the "Mountain of the gods", D'Leh gazed upon the man who took his beloved. He wore a black bandana on his head, his clothing was dark as hell, his skin was dark and pretty much everything about him was as dark as it were. Evolet was tied up to ropes on each of her arms and was overlooked by a silver knight just above her. Evolet was a beauty all on her own. Her hair was luscious, her eyes sparkled in the sun's light, her face was gentle like a lamb's fur, and her body was slender and thin like a dog's. This was Evolet. Above the silver knight and Evolet was a man in golden robes like that of a priest, but was acknowledged as a god to the people of the civilization. D'Leh was told that he should turn back, but could take his woman with her. D'Leh and the others, having surrounded the enemy and cornered them in their beloved empire had said to Nakudu, "Tell him I accept his offer." There was no response from him. "Tell him.", D'Leh insisted. Again no response. D'Leh then yelled, "Tell him!!" Yet as this was translated towards him, D'Leh said, "But I will take all my people with me!! Each and every one of them. Tell him!!" D'Leh kept walking closer to the pyramid, with each and everyone of the followers insisting him to stay back as well as threating to kill off Evolet. The god's followers were short, stubby men, but were loyal despite their weak stature. They agreed to give him the Naku's freedom as well as the other men that had been captured from his village. D'Leh then asked what would happen to the others.
D'Leh was told that they would do the god's work forever. D'Leh then threw his spear after mumbling something to himself at the god and it killed him as he fell down his own stairs. D'Leh then yelled looking at the people everywhere, "He is not a god!!" The people yelled and charged at his followers and the silver knight who killed off the captor of Evolet, but held her in his arms captive himself. Alan and Nadia took out their keyblades with Alan saying, "Let her go. She's not worth your time knight." The silver knight then replied, "Well you think you're so great then. Take on another me before you go and try to make some assumptions about us and our purpose." He summoned another copy of himself and Alan squared off against the copy, while D'Leh faced off against the original as Nadia took Evolet to safety. Alan slashed the copy with the keyblade matching move for move what the copy did. Left, right, left right, and then suddenly, Alan tripped on his own 'two left feet' and the keyblade was knocked out of his hands. The knight's sword pointed to him as he called out for his keyblade and as he did, the copy unable to comprehend what happend collapsed as Alan slashed at him and ran after the silver knight as D'Leh protected his body with the White Spear. Alan slashed at the silver knight and kicked him away as he teleported above him. Alan then pointed his keyblade at him and asked, "Just who are you?" "My name is of no importance rather than what is happening right now though.", the silver knight replied. Alan then asked, "Just what do you mean by that?" "Why even as we speak Destiny Island is being consumed by the darkness in the same way your beloved Earth was too. How I wish you could have been there to see their frightened faces. They never stood a chance. Yet you all fight on thinking that you could hinder us or stop us no less. Face it boy. There is no right or wrong. There is only you and now. You act like you fight for justice, but in the end, nothing is resolved. Only more violence will become conceded as time passes. That weapon I'm sure of will see to it." He then disappeared as Alan collapsed and punched the ground. Nadia saw the Heart of the world in the sky and zapped it thus unlocking it. Yet even as she helped Alan up, the news he told her wasn't good at all. D'Leh then said, "I can help. Let me come with you. Those knights took my beloved Evolet and I could get them back." "It wouldn't do any good D'Leh. Besides your place is here amongst these people. You must for their sake be the hero." D'Leh nodded as Alan pressed the yellow button on his watch and they soon disappeared from the world after saying their goodbyes.
(So Destiny Island is under attack now. Also what the silver knight said is pretty much true. The keyblade has great power, but in the end it has caused some great damage as we have heard from BBS and seen in KH1 to those who have played that and Final Mix.There is alot of stuff going to happen about the Doors of the Heart and Destiny Island in a bit so stay tuned.)
