Alan's Loss of Hope

(Note: I will be mixing in elements from the prologue and some new elements in this chapter since it is a part one of two scenario. So other than that little tidbit of info, ladies and gentlemen…I give you a new installment of Kingdom Hearts: The Legend Begins.)

Sunset Horizons glowed as the sun began to rise in the west of its desert landscape. Alan and Nadia also arrived at the same time through a portal Alan finally managed to summon up and quickly wrote down any last tidbit of information about this as he could. They both summoned their keyblades together being ready for anything and then Alan said to Nadia, "No matter what…" "We'll always be together.", she replied. Right on cue was Obeion in all of his might and glory. As he trampled towards them, the ground shook with every step he took.

(And now this where the story comes full circle to where I started it off about a year ago.)

As the young tall brunette boy stood proud and tall in a tree bark beige suit with an ever so radiant brunette girl clothed in a rose red dress on the peak of one of the highest rock pillars in the Red Desert, they stood their ground watching their enemy's every move. He was a giant this creature. The creature stood over fifteen feet in height, what white from head to toe and wore a black suit with a white cloak tied to his neck. Anytime someone stared into his eyes, all they could see was fear and darkness in his yellow coloured eyes. The Monster then yelled, "Foolish mortals!! You dare to defy the great Obeion? Master of Universes and the harbinger of your doom?" The boy then yelled, "Not a chance you creep!! We'll never surrender to you!!" Obeion laughed and then yelled, "Well come then little worm. Face my steel!!" The boy ran, but something grabbed hold of him. It was that very same girl. Her green eyes worried looking stared at him like a hammer going in to smash a nail into a block of wood. She said, "Don't. It's too dangerous. I don't want to lose you." The boy held the girl's hands and said, "Don't worry. I'll be fine. After all the fate of the worlds rests on the palms of my hands now!!", said the boy. He knelt down and then put his head on the girl's stomach "If I don't make it back, take care of your mother for me!!" (I know it seems as if Alan may have gotten busy at this point, but if you remember one of chapters in Radiant Garden, they were told they would have three healthy young children so you can get the idea. They have not conceived so yeah.) He then stood up and then drew out a key like sword. It was white in colour and it had the emblem of Disney castle on it for a key-chain. The boy then ran forward and as he jumped and aimed for Obeion's head, the monster teleported behind the man and grabbed him by his legs. As he did though, the boy slashed his arm causing an excruciating amount of pain.

The boy then teleported again and slashed his neck causing the beast to foam at the mouth. The boy then laughed and asked, "Had enough?" The monster wiped his mouth clean with his left arm and said, "Impressive. So that's the keyblade. Who knew such a tiny little thing could cause so much pain? And to think you were the creator of such a precise weapon of steel." The boy then said, "Well I can't take all the credit. I had help." He turned to the brunette girl and as he stared into her green jungle eyes with his green-coloured eyes, she smiled and then she drew out a pink keyblade and then jumped onto the pillar that the boy was on. Obeion then continued with the boy and the girl rearing for battle, "Very well then. Those keyblades you have created will be your last. Mark my words Alan, those key weapons will turn to dust at my finger tips!!" He roared so loud that acres of the land started to shake and crack like an earthquake was nearby.

Alan then pointed his keyblade into the sky and then as light protruded from the tip of the weapon, clouds started to form and cover the land. Obeion then started to glow black and Alan and the girl started to glow white. Their keyblades, now strong from the very power they were collecting shot out a giant blast to Obeion although he just shrugged it off. Alan stared at the girl and asked, "Nadia, are you ready for this? We may not come back from this you know. I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you!!" Nadia then smiled with determination and said, "You forget Alan, we're in this together. I want to be with you no matter what." Alan then nodded and then yelled as did Nadia in kind and soon Obeion joined in yelling as an explosion occurred and left the land covered in clouds and smoke for miles. When the smoke cleared it seemed as if the worst was over.

Alan stood up panting hard, his suit surprisingly not damaged, and Nadia's dress was hardly touched at all. Yet they heard a powerful and evil laugh. "Foolish children. I am not merely a weak little ogre like you have heard in fairy tales from Aranse. I have the greatest powers of any sorcerer in the universe. Your little keyblades have no power over me." Alan then frowned as he ran towards Obeion, keyblade in hand scraping the ground as he did so, but before Nadia could reach out to stop him, Obeion lifted his right index finger and Alan was lifted into midair. He then was slammed into a large pillar that Sunset Horizons was well known for in the Solar System. Nadia gripped her hands towards her mouth in a sign of fear and was on the verge of some tears, but Alan broke free of the broken pillar and rushed towards Obeion. "Such foolish impudence!!", Obeion said as he teleported and elbowed Alan towards the ground. He then picked Nadia up and began to squeeze the life right out of her. As Nadia began to call for help, "Alan…help me!!", Obeion laughed and chuckled as he said watching Alan struggle to get up, "Do you see that boy? You're damsel in distress is calling your name. Such a fitting end for this girl isn't it. Especially when her 'hero' is nowhere near as strong as I am." Alan looked at his hands and as they trembled he thought, 'Why is he so strong? Even some of our best efforts have not been able to take this guy down. He must have a weakness.'

Then Alan zapped his chest, but nothing happened. Obeion chuckled some more as he tossed Nadia towards him, semi-unconscious. He then pointed his skin eyebrow down and smiled menacingly saying, "I have personally prepared for your arrival. I have powers that no one would have dared to comprehend. Your pitiful keyblades are no match for my powers. They are a mere modification on the original swords that Aranse and I once wielded as half brothers. All I have wanted and I couldn't have done it without Tyrannil's help." Alan then asked, "Tyrannil? He knows?" "Yes. I defeated him in battle and have been using the powers he granted me to get what I want just so he wouldn't die. I question what you even saw in that man in the first place. He was a coward after all." Alan then slammed his keyblade into the ground as he held Nadia with him in his left arm and the keyblade in his right arm saying, "You talk so high and mighty when we are still here." "Oh really?", Obeion said. He held out his hand and suddenly an earth shattering moment occurred as Alan's Kingdom Key was whisked away from his hands as was Nadia's keyblade. Obeion laughed at his might and said holding both of the small key weapons in his hands, "You fools. You wasted your time with those pitiful Knights of the Realm and making friends and such that you forgot the true enemy in this little plot. I was constantly getting stronger in secret while you two were playing the heroes. Now I will be the one to end this torment." Alan shocked at this fell to the ground as he thought, 'No…no, no, no, no!! Why, why, why, why? I thought we were the only ones that could wield these weapons.' "You guessed wrong.", Obeion stated. Alan looked up as Nadia regained consciousness and saw the keyblades and said, "That's impossible. How did you…?" "It's quite simple. From what I had learned your toys react to one that has a strong heart as Aranse told you, but I learned in secret. It doesn't matter if it is for an evil purpose or a good purpose, all it is in the end is the strength of one's emotions that dictates the future wielder."

Obeion summoned a dark set of clouds underneath him as he lifted himself up he then said, "I could take over this world, but it would be too simple right now. I will take over the one most precious world there is. It is one where there is no star shine on it and it lies in the nothingness of space. The Rulius Court once called it the Eternal Beyond for its status of being literally beyond the sight of a microscope and it is the only world where there is no mortality so thus it will age and die like other planets do over time. It is the perfect place to start my empire. As for you two, you won't be a burden for me anymore!!" As Obeion said this he blasted a tornado towards Alan and Nadia as they were whisked away from Sunset Horizons in defeat Alan kept thinking holding onto Nadia, 'How could this happen? I was supposed to be the hero. We should have been able to defeat Obeion.' In the end, his thoughts were drowned out by the sandstorm taking them from this world into space.

(I crossed the idea of course from that of the KH BBS sneak peak trailer and used the scene of course where Sora did lose the keyblade to Riku and that's pretty much how I felt when this happened and was mad when Riku supposedly said I'm the only one who can save Kairi (I'm not a big fan of him in kh1 but that's just because of the cockiness.). Anyways, in the next few chapters it'll begin to lead up to the Eternal Beyond and the end of this story. For those that have read my story through and through, thanks for the dedication. For those just reading this chapter now, I hope my other work is to your liking. More to come as KH: The Legend Begins progresses.)
