Alf Meets Kingdom Hearts: Vexen's Evil Deed
When we last left our heroes, they were just starting to meet for the first time. "Alright, so now we know." said Kairi after sometime later. "I'm Kairi and you're Mr. Trevor Ochmonek, right?" "Sure kid, if you say so." replied Trevor.
"Oh, uh, Trevor?" said Willie, as he returned from the back room. "Here are the cards you wanted." "Thanks Willie! You're a real pal!" Just then, there was another knock on the door. Kate answered it. "Oh, Hello Raquel!" she said, as an older, gray haired woman walked in. "Sorry Kate, I'd love to stay and exchange pleasantries, but I've got work to do. I'm busy putting family photos on my garden gnomes. I only came over to tell Trevor to hurry up and get home. His friends are coming over in two hours and he needs some time to get the card table set up."
"Oh, ok. I understand... But, why um, why would you put family photos on your garden gnomes?' asked Kate. Before Raquel could answer, Trevor called to her, "Hey Raquel! Let's go!" "Be right with you Trevor! Well Kate, I'd better be going! I—Well I'll be go to the market! Who is this darling child?"
"I'll be go to the market?" Kairi muttered to herself in confusion. Trevor walked over to them, "Allow me to do the introductions! This young gal's name is Kapri! Kapri, this is my dear wife, Mrs. Raquel Ochmonek!" During the conversation, Kate had made her way to the kitchen.
"Well what a pleasure to meet you sweetheart!" said Raquel, patting Kairi on the head. "Hello Kapri!" "Thanks! But my name is Kairi, not Kapri!" "Sorry!" "Lynn, Brian, everybody, dinner is ready!" Kate shouted from the kitchen.
"What are we having?" asked Kairi. "Fried chicken, corn on the cob, mashed potatoes, and for dessert, German Chocolate Cake!" "Hmm! Sounds delicious! Perhaps even better than the food they have at my home back on the islands!" Kairi stated excitedly.
Everyone stared at her in confusion. "Islands? Wha…What islands?" Kate asked, bewildered. Kairi sighed and told everyone about her origin, including Alf, who was listening from the kitchen/dining room window. "I grew up on a place called The Destiny Islands. It was a great place to live!" "Ah! So that's the name of your home! Destiny Islands!" responded Kate with realization. "Can't say I've ever heard of it, though."
"Destiny Islands?" a bewildered Alf spoke out, as he peeked from the kitchen through the pass-through. "Is that like Melmac?" "NO!" Kairi shouted, the reason being because she knew that the Tanners were trying to hide Alf and didn't want anyone to know about him. Alf ducked down just in time. For at that instant, the Ochmoneks were looking in the direction Kairi was looking when she shouted. They then stared at her bewildered. "I mean yes! Yes you're right! I don't know why I said no! So sorry for the outburst! Won't happen again! Ha! Ha! Ha!" she said with a nervous giggle. The Ochmoneks just stared at each other and shrugged. They decided to stay for dinner.
Later, after everyone had finished dessert, it was time to say goodbye to the Ochmoneks. "Well, we'd better be going!" announced Raquel, as she and Trevor shook hands with everybody. "Yeah!" agreed Trevor. "I've gotta go home and help put out the jerky and beer." "Drinking's not good for you either." said Kairi. "Thanks kid, I'll remember that." Kairi smiled and nodded. "Trevor, it's time to go!" shouted Raquel from the front door.
"Ok coming! So long Tanners!" "Goodbye Trevor!" said the Tanners and Kairi. "See ya later Kapri!" said Trevor, patting her on the head. Then they left. Kairi was not amused at them getting her name wrong. She yelled at them even though they were out of earshot, "I told you! My name is..." Suddenly a strange and powerful blast of dark energy streaked across the room, sending everyone flying backwards.
"Drown in the overwhelming darkness." a strange voice was heard saying. Everyone turned to see a mysterious looking man. The man wore a long dark cloak with a hood that concealed his face. "You cannot escape it." he continued. "Here, in this world, and all worlds, every living being will always have darkness. It is no use fleeing. The darkness will soon consume you all, and devour your hearts. I have come to show you just how futile the light in your hearts truly are."
"Who are you?" demanded Kate. "What do you want with us?" "Hmmm." the mystery man chuckled evilly. He pulled back his hood, revealing a man with light brown hair. "I don't see why I should trouble you any further during your final moments." he said, an eerie calmness to his voice. "But I will anyway. My name is Vexen. I am a member of a group called Organization XIII. I'm what you would call a Nobody."
"A Nobody?" Willie said in confusion. "What does that mean?" The man chuckled again, "It means this: A Nobody, like myself, is created when a person's heart is corrupted with darkness. People who lose there hearts to darkness also lose there bodies, souls, and emotions. The heart disappears, but the body and soul that remain create a virtually empty shell known simply as a Nobody." He stared at them coldly. Everyone, especially Lynn and Brian, were too scared to pay much attention to what the man was talking about. He walked towards them slowly, a grin on his face. A gleam of evil in his eyes. "I have come to collect your hearts." "Collect our hearts?" Kate shouted in fright. "NO!" shouted Willie, struggling to get up. "How dare you walk in here and threaten this home and this family like you're some kinda…um uh...some kinda...vile monster?" He grabbed a meat fork of the table. "LEAVE! NOW!" he shouted, throwing the fork at Vexen. The fork hit him, but the man wasn't even fazed! "Oh good one Willco." Alf mocked. "'How dare you threaten this family like some vile monster? You know what, I think I'll defeat you by throwing eating utensils at you!' Bah! No wonder you never got to audition for the lead role in Lord of the Rings, or Harry Potter,...or Howard the Duck!" The Tanners and Kairi glared at him. He looked down at the floor "Nevermind! Sorry!" he said.
Vexen laughed, "You guys are only half correct. We Nobodies belong neither to the light or the dark, but we walk the path in between: the twilight." "Kairi, what does he mean by that?" asked Kate. "It's rather hard to explain." Kairi responded. "Perhaps you will understand better, when I take all your hearts!" Vexen said, in a tone that clearly showed evil.
"NO! DON'T! PLEASE, DON'T!" Kairi screamed in fear. Vexen summoned a dark, key shaped sword and held it out. "Now Dark Keyblade! Do your stuff! Show them the true power of darkness!"
"Why are you doing this?" Lynn demanded in fright. Vexen chuckled, "To show you that the only way to survive in life is if you let your hearts lead you to where darkness lurks!" "You want our hearts to lead us to the stair closet in the basement?" asked Alf. The other protagonist groaned. "Now, turn to darkness!" Vexen said. "Uh ok now! Heh! Heh! Heh! I uh, heh, was just kidding about the whole you being a monster business!" said Willie nervously. "And I'm sure you were just kidding about stealing our hearts, right?" Vexen ignored them. "I sense a strong heart within your daughter. Therefore, I shall clam her heart first!" He aimed his Keyblade at the helpless Lynn. "Now to awaken the true power of darkness! SUPREME DARKNESS!" he began to thrust his weapon towards the trembling, terrified girl.
"NO! S-STOP!" cried Willie. He threw himself between his daughter and the evil man. The next thing they knew, the weapon was lodged deep in his chest. Suddenly, before anyone could even think about reacting, Willie gave a painful yell and collapsed to his knees, clutching his head in agony. A blinding flash of light emitted from the wound. And then, to the to everyone's awe and fear, what appeared to be a heart, glowing radiantly, was seen floating in the air! Vexen was standing there, laughing manically. All of a sudden strange dark vapor began to form out of Willie's now unconscious body.
"WILLIE!" panicked Kate. "DAD! NO! PLEASE, NO! cried Lynn and Brian. They watched helplessly as Willie began to undergo a drastic change. Suddenly there was even more dark vapor, followed by another blinding flash of light. Then came the worst part.
There was a puff of smoke. Everyone looked down to see were Willie had once been when he was on his knees in pain. They all gasped in horror. Everyone except Vexen, that is. For on the ground, where Willie originally was, all they saw in his place, was a strange, inky black creature with bright, glowing, almost evil looking, piercing yellow eyes! "Well! Well! Well!" Vexen chuckled. "That wasn't supposed to happen. Oh well, Nobodies can't be choosers, I guess. One heart is as good as another, I suppose. Either way, I got the first heart out of the many that I will need to bring back an (ahem) old friend." Vexen laughed like a madman. He then pointed to the others, "And now the old man is under my control!"
He turned to the creature that was once Willie. "What did you do to him?" demanded Kate. "Oh, nothing. Just made him my mindless slave, that's all." He then turned back to the transformed Willie. "Now my mindless servant, claim the hearts of your family!" He pointed to Kate and Lynn."Claim the maidens' hearts first, as theirs is the most powerful! "Oh my gosh!" Kairi gasped in horror. Lynn and Kate were trembling.
"NO! DON'T! PLEASE! WE'RE BEGGING YOU!" pleaded Kate, her eyes filling with tears. She was that scared! Vexen ignored her and pointed his Keyblade at them. "Now it's time for you all to suffer in the darkness!" Vexen stated evilly. "NO!" Lynn cried. Vexen approached them. "You need the darkness! All of you!" he said. "Now submit! Bow to the darkness! Bow to me!" "Everyone, quick! Go out to the garage! It's the only place where you'll be safe" urged Kate, blocking them from harms way. "Wait! Why can't we just go to the attic?" wondered Alf. "Because Alf, the attic is cluttered from spring cleaning!" replied Kate. "All that leaves is the garage! Now go! Go! Hurry!" "But what about you?" asked Kairi. "I will try and catch up." replied Kate. "But right now someone has to stop Vexen! He cannot be allowed to win!" Lynn, Brian, Alf, and Kairi nodded and started running towards the garage. Soon they made it to their destination.
"Quick! In here!" Alf indicated as he opened the door. The garage was huge! There were tables and chairs everywhere. There were 3 levels. The lower 1st level was where Willie kept his radio equipment, the 2nd level was where the telescope and space posters were, and the 3rd level boasted the library. It seemed very easy for one to get lost in there! And it was also very messy. "You sure this is a good idea!" Kairi wondered out loud. "Kate said it was the only safe spot in the area!" the alien replied. "Now get in! Hurry!" they ran inside and Alf quickly slammed the door shut. Then they all gasped for breath. "I hope Mom gets away safely!" Lynn finally spoke up. Everyone nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, Kate was trying to fend off Vexen. She had taken up martial arts when she was younger, but not even that seemed to do her any good now. "Forget it woman, you will never defeat me!" Vexen laughed, as he dealt a devastating blow that knocked Kate to the ground. "Not as long as I have darkness on my side!" "Just tell me what you want with our hearts, please!" Kate demanded. Vexen merely laughed. "You will find out soon enough." he replied, summoning his weapon again. Kate stared up at him in fear and confusion. "W-wh-what?" was all she could say. Suddenly she felt a sharp stabbing pain and looked up to see Vexen thrusting his Keyblade into her chest! "WHA-WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO ME?" "Now, watch as your heart is unlocked!" Vexen boomed in a deep sinister voice that seemed to echo across the room. "Submit! Open your heart, surrender it to the darkness! Become darkness itself!" "N-NO!" Kate screamed at the top of her lungs in terror. "NOOOOO! HELLLLPPPP! SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP MEEE!"
"I sure hope Mom is ok!" said Brian. "Shh" said Kairi, signaling everyone to be quiet. "Listen! Do you hear that?" everyone turned to where the sound was coming from. "HELLP MEEE PLEEASE!" "That sounded like Kate!" said Alf. "She's in danger!" exclaimed Kairi. "Omigosh! MOM!" Brian panicked. "Vexen must of overwhelmed her!" stated Lynn. "C'mon we gotta help her!" said Kairi, as she made her way to the garage door. "Right!" said Lynn and Brain, and the followed her. A few seconds later, Kairi returned. "Come on Alf!" "Right! Coming!" replied Alf. And with that he followed Kairi. They soon caught up with the others.
Kairi was the first to reach the house. She opened the door and gasped. "Oh no! We're too late!" Lynn came bursting in, followed by Brian, and finally, Alf. They all looked down, sheer expressions of horror on their faces. For on the that very spot, where Kate once was, another strange, dark, black, mysterious looking creature squirmed about on the floor!
"MOM!" Lynn cried. "OHMIGOSH! NO! MOM! OH! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! This isn't happening! This can't be happening! It just can't be! MOM!" Brian couldn't say anything. He was sobbing way too hard. Kairi went over to comfort him. "What are we gonna do?" Lynn panicked. "Suffer the same fate, thatis you will do!" said a voice from behind them. Everyone jumped, startled. "Vexen!" shouted Lynn, her voice trembling with rage. Eyes burning with hate. "You're gonna pay for this!" "No! It is you who shall pay!" replied Vexen, holding out his Keyblade. Our heroes' eyes widened in fear. Suddenly, just when Vexen was about to do them in, another blast of dark energy, like the one that Vexen used when he first arrived, knocked him back. "Sorry to interrupt the party so soon there Vexey, but I do believe the fun's over now." a calm, cool voice came out of nowhere. Every one turned to see another hooded man, just like Vexen! The man removed his hood, revealing a 19-20 year old man with red punk style hair.
"Who are you?" a surprised Brian asked. The man chuckled. "Who am I?" he said in a seemingly mocking tone. "My name is Axel." He stuck out his hand. "Got it memorized?" The good guys nodded, but did not want to shake the hands of a mysterious stranger. "Look, I think I know about the answer to your problems. To find out what's going on here and to rescue your parents, you will need to find the Key." "The Key?" repeated a confused Lynn. "Ding! Ding! Ding! That's correct kiddies!
"Find the wielder of the Keyblade! The Light Keyblade! That is the Key, if you'll excuse my little pun, to save those who are near and dear to you!" Our heroes nodded, still not sure. "I will use my powers to open a portal that will teleport you to the place nearest to where the Keyblade Master was last seen!" and with that he waved his arms, opening a dark swirling vortex. "Now go! It's perfectly safe! And don't worry! I'll take care of Vexey!
"And try to get this memorized: the name of the Keyblade wielder is Sora!"
Our heroes meekly nodded at each other, not quite sure if they should trust this man. And with that they jumped one by one into the portal. Alf came last, dragging a suitcase. (Hmm! I wonder what is in that suitcase, eh?) And so the journey began!
