Chapter 6: Night of Fate
(Destiny Islands)
It was a stormy night on the island home of Haru and his friends. Haru looked outside the window of his room and saw an approaching storm.
"A storm?" Haru said to himself.
As Haru saw the storm approaching, he soon remembered the rafts.
"The rafts! I have to find Sora, Riku, and Kairi!" Haru exclaimed.
With that said, Haru jumped out of his bed and took out running from his room to find his three friends. As Haru soon reached the small island and began searching for them, he saw a massive black swirling vortex in the sky. He soon found Sora who was also looking around for Riku and Kairi.
"Sora!" Haru called out.
"Haru! What's going on?!" Sora asked.
"I don't know, but we have to find Riku and Kairi!" Haru replied.
Haru and Sora looked around the small island for their friends before they noticed the small black creatures they dreamt about began spawning all over the island. After searching a little more, they soon spotted Riku on the platform island next to the Paopu Tree.
"Where's Kairi?! I thought she was with you!" Haru shouted as Sora nodded.
"The door...has opened," Riku said calmly while looking out towards the ocean.
"What?" Haru and Sora asked perplexedly.
"The door has opened! Now we can go to the outside world!" Riku yelled from the platform, his silver hair fluttering in the wind.
"Riku, what about Kairi?" Haru asked.
"Kairi's coming with us!" Riku replied.
"Once we step through, we might not be able to come back. There's no turning back. But this may be our only chance. We can't let fear stop us! I'm not afraid of the darkness!" Riku told her as he looked at the darkness ahead of him.
Before Haru and Sora could move, a ripple of darkness flowed beneath the three boys. A portal of darkness opened up and began to envelop them. Riku showed no signs of fear or panic, and simply stood still as he let the darkness overtake him. Haru and Sora, however, were in full panic and fear, trying to wade through the darkness toward their friend in a futile effort. Despite several seconds of struggle, the three teens were swallowed by the dark abyss.
As all seemed lost, a bright light shined within the darkness and surrounded Haru and Sora.
The next thing they knew, they found themselves standing where they had been a few moments ago. Both of them found themselves holding a strange object in their hands. Both appeared to be a large key of some kind, but was also shaped like a sword.
Haru's weapon was known as Brightcrest, a Keyblade with long reach that provided an outstanding boost in Magic as well as making it easier to land critical hits, and dealing higher damage when he did. The design of the Keyblade followed a water theme by being reminiscent of cresting waves, both along the shaft and at the teeth. Also, a familiar Wayfinder appeared at the top of the shaft within a black circle, surrounded by a cresting wave. The hilt had two heart-shaped openings, and the Keychain also had the same Wayfinder as the shaft. The handle and chain were both an ivory color.
"Bright" reflected an association with Light while "crest" referred to the crest of a wave matching the Keyblade's design.
Haru and Sora held them up and pondered over what they were as the respective voices from both their dreams spoke out to them in only two words.
"Keyblade...Keyblade..."
As Haru and Sora collected their thoughts, the dark creatures spawned all around them at full force. On instinct, Haru sprung into action and began swinging his new weapon at the creatures. Surprisingly, the weapon sliced through the dark creatures, killing them easily.
"Sora, let's check the Secret Spot. Perhaps Kairi's in there," Haru suggested
"Perhaps," Sora agreed.
Haru and Sora advanced into the dark cave where they found Kairi standing still as he looked at the back door that didn't have a handle or any sort of purpose. Only, they could clearly see what looked like a keyhole in the middle of the door with Kairi staring right at it.
"Kairi!" Haru called out.
At Haru's call, Kairi slowly turned and faced Haru and Sora, but seemed to be in some sort of trance.
"Haru... Sora..." Kairi responded monotonously.
Before anything else could be said, darkness erupted from the keyhole in the door behind Kairi. It was so powerful that it flung Kairi off her feet towards Haru and Sora's direction
"I've got her!" Haru said as he opened his arms to catch Kairi.
As soon as Kairi made contact with Haru, she seemed to melt into him as a ghost would.
Before Haru and Sora could comprehend what had happened, another powerful gust of darkness blew through the cave, sending Haru and Sora flying off their feet.
When they were outside, Haru and Sora landed on the sandy beach outside face-down. They recovered quickly, only to see most of the island decimated with the storm getting increasingly worse.
A red eye was in the middle of the massive swirling black vortex, seeming to be the cause of the storm.
As the kids looked out toward the destruction of their home, a dark creature began to form behind them.
Haru and Sora turned and looked up toward the dark monster.
It was in that moment that they both recognized the large monster from their strange dream they had two days ago.
Haru and Sora raised their Keyblades into a battle pose and prepared to fight the large dark creature together.
They both knew that the dark creature's arms were its most vulnerable spots.
The dark creature didn't seem to be sapient as it attacked by slamming its right fist into the ground, creating a dark vortex that produced smaller, dark creatures in a smaller quantity.
Sora quickly took them out, continuously swinging his Keyblade at the small, dark creatures, while Haru swung his Keyblade numerous times at the large creature's arms.
Once Sora finished off the small, dark creatures, he rushed over to Haru to assist him with his assault on the large creature's arms.
Haru and Sora swung their Keyblades at the dark creature's arms numerous times, inflicting major damage.
The large dark creature responded by conjuring spheres of darkness that followed Haru and Sora's movements.
Haru and Sora easily deflected the spheres using their Keyblades towards the large dark creature.
The large creature positioned its arm close to the ground.
Seeing this as an opportunity to finish the fight, Haru sprinted and jumped onto the creature's arm and ran up toward the creature's shoulder. Upon landing, Haru leapt into the air and swung his Keyblade down on the large, dark creature's head, delivering the final blow.
Upon the monster's defeat, it was sucked up into the red eye vortex in the sky….
However, a powerful hurricane swept through the entire area pulling everything upwards towards the vortex.
Haru and Sora clung onto a piece of driftwood that was stuck in the ground for as long as they could, but the strength of the sky vacuum soon overpowered Sora's muscles and forced him airborne into the vortex
"SORA!" Haru screamed in sheer desperation for his friend.
Immediately after the outburst, Haru lost his grip and was dragged toward the vortex
"..!"
Haru was swallowed by the dark vortex and the island was claimed by the darkness.
