Welcome back readers. Once again I'am reminding you, I don't own Kingdom Hearts.

Kingdom Hearts: Darkness Rising

Dark Beginnings

In The World That Never Was, Xehanort and his twelve seekers of darkness were discussing their next plan of attack against the guardians of light.

"We should start by attacking the worlds, that will draw them out."Ansem declared.

Xigbar spoke up, "And leave ourselves out in the open like last time, as if."

"We are a lot stronger than last time, Xigbar. They won't stand a chance this time." Saix said.

"That overconfidence of yours led to your defeat by Sora. Know your place, Saix!" Xemnas ordered.

Master Xehanort, who was sitting on his throne with his hand on his head, was thinking of a new strategy, but it was tough to do when his followers were throwing plans and backlash back and forth.

"ENOUGH!" Xehanort shouted.

Everyone in the room immediately went silent and got scared of their Master's next words.

"You all keep coming up with mediocre and amatuer plans, even with pieces of my heart inside you.

Right now we need to focus on finding our final seeker of darkness to combat our enemies. Now-"

However before he could continue, an explosion from outside interrupted him and the door to the room came flying off the hinges.

Quickly, all of the seekers of darkness got up, drew their weapons and prepared for whatever was to come.

What emerged from the smoke, was something none of the seekers expected.

A figure, wearing a red and black jumpsuit and a dark grey cloak with the hood up, emerged and walked towards the seekers in a slow, but powerful stance. The aura the figure gave off frightened the seekers of darkness, who were very strong in their own right.

Xehanort, recognizing the jumpsuit, responded first, "Vanitas, is that you?"

The figure simply responded by laughing, however, it did not sound like one voice laughing, but two.

"Not quite, old man", the figure spoke, before removing the hood to the cloak.

The face that was revealed was the very boy Xehanort planned to make his thirteenth member.

"Sora." Xemnas muttered. It was Sora, but his features were different: his eyes were yellow, like the heartless and his hair changed to snow white.

"In the flesh", Sora stated, then bowed to them.

"So are you here to join us as the thirteenth member and become one with the darkness?" Ansem asked.

Sora laughed again. "No and Yes to your question, Ansem. As you can see I have become one with the darkness, but I'am not here to join your little boy band. I'am actually here to destroy it."

The seekers simply laughed at his response. This boy struggled with just one of them when he was on his own, how could he beat them all by himself?

"How do you plan to do that, boy?" Xehanort asked, chuckling to himself.

Sora's smile changed to a serious tone, "Like this." He then simply snapped his fingers.

Suddenly, darkness started to pour out of the seekers bodies, making them scream in pain and slowly disappear. It felt as if everything in their body was being sucked away and into Sora's hand. All of the darkness soon entered Sora's hand making him glow with power.

Within minutes, all of the seekers were gone, leaving only Xehanort and Sora.

"Wh-what are you?!" Xehanort yelled out. Throughout his life, Xehanort has encountered many things that would make an average man run away, yet he would face them with no fear or thought of retreat and has triumphed over many obstacles. However, this was the first time in many years that Xehanort has felt an emotion he believed he has suppressed: true fear.

Sora walked up to Xehanort and stated, "I have been made into the new king of darkness by the heartless themselves. According to them, you have become quite the annoyance to the darkness, Xehanort. Starting another Keyblade war is not what the darkness is after, you should know this by now. So I have come to destroy you and the seekers and make your power my own to make sure you don't get in the way of my plans.

Sora once again snapped his fingers and multiple Darksides started to emerge behind Sora and destroy the Castle that Never was.

"All you cared about was the knowledge that would come from the Keyblade war and recreating everything in your image, Xehanort. You failed as a Keyblade wielder of darkness and for that I sentence you to death. Begone old man!" Sora yelled. He then drew his keyblade, The Demon Claw, and struck Xehanort down, destroying the old man forever. Sora lost the Kingdom Key when he became the new Heartless King, now he wields a dark Keyblade, called Demon Claw. This keyblade was red and black in color, with the heartless emblem acting as the teeth, the shaft wrapped in red and black cloth, demon wings acted as the demon wings and a black and red crown acted as the keychain.

Dismissing his Keyblade, Sora proceeded to one of the Darksides, which bowed down to him in servitude.

"Destroy the rest of this accursed castle and then head back to the realm of darkness for our next move." Sora declared.

The Darkside bowed it's head once more to it's master and continued with it's mission.

"Now that the old man is out of the way, I can focus on acquiring my bride. Then, after that, bring the rest of the worlds to submit to the darkness." Sora smiled evily as he created a corridor of darkness and departed from the former Nobody world.

So that is the first chapter, besides the prologue. So Xehanort and his seekers of darkness are gone, leaving only the guardians of light. In the next chapter Sora will go after them and take Kairi as his wife of darkness. Until then, hope you like the story so far.
