KINGDOM HEARTS

AWAKENING

INVASION! THE SOUL CRUSHER'S ATTACK!

"Yo, wake up!" When Renard finally woke up the smell of smoke entered into his nose.

"What's happening out there?"

"We're bein' attacked by some creatures!"

The Keyblade Master jumped out of bed being dragged outside by Berry, everything was a chaos, villagers were attacking other villages, except that those "villagers" had something strange on their faces, they seemed to be under a spell.

Renard ran to help a villager and felt a pain on his feet; he was running bare feet in the streets; with a movement of his arm, the "villager" fell in the floor.

"Are you ok?" he said

"Yeah, where's Robin Hood?"

He heard that name before, a bandit who steals the rich to give it to the poor; Renard only heard stories of him and in secret always wanted to be as brave as him.

"Is he here?"

"Yes, he's helping us with this mess"

When he was about to help the villager, Berry yelled

"Behind ya"

When he turned back, what he saw seemed unreal: the old, kind Gums McGee was now a monster and was trying to attack Renard, with a movement of the wrist the Keyblade appeared.

"Sir, don't come any closer, sir"

The old, big bear wasn't listening any of his words; on his hands, the Keyblade was shaking, there was no way he'll use it to hurt someone, some steps backwards and tripped with his own feet.

"Please, sir" He closed his eyes, it was the first time he felt this kind of fear when suddenly the noise of a body falling in the floor

"You're safe now'" there was voice coming behind his back and when he opened his eyes, the Ol' McGee had an arrow on his back.

"We need a place to hide until the King's troops arrive" Immediately recognized that voice: Robin Hood.

Berry grabbed Renard's hand and ran behind the brave fox until they found a place to hide where Berry lived. Inside there, Robin explained Renard what happened: apparently someone used a spell in the middle of the town to put everyone against each other and transform them into "Soul Crushers". During the explanation, Robin saw the Keyblade on his hand

"Aren't you supposed to be a warrior?"

"I… yes, but I'm still an apprentice"

"Nice first mission isn't" he said with a kind smile on his red face.

"Berry, could you help me with this? I need something to use as bandages"

Berry nodded and returned as fast as she could. With everything they needed, Robin started to take care of Renard's feet.

"Is it's hard for us to walk without shoes, I can only imagine how hard is for a human; there, clean and bandaged"

"Thank you, we can't stay here; there are people who need our help"

Then, he remembered what Robin said "someone used a spell…"

"I need to get to the town's center, if someone used a spell, then I might be able to finish it"

"We'll use the roofs"

All the way Renard was shocked by what he was watching: women, kids; everyone turned into those creatures, fighting each other; with some tears on his face, he wished he could be brave and do something else to help the innocent villagers.

"Finally, the…"

Robin's words stopped when he saw his friend Little John turned into a Soul Crusher while one person in a black coat was singing some kind of spell and surrounded by other creatures.

"Little John…"

"So, you finally came; Keyblade Master, let me introduce myself; my name is Obscura lord of the darkness"

While Robin was trying to talk with Little John, Renard ran straight to Obscura, making an effort to make him understand that he was doing something terrible.

"And you're supposed to be a Keyblade Master? Bah, you're only a kid, there's nothing you can do to stop me" He said while giggling, true words but this kid was very talented in the use of magic; nervous and brave at the same time, Renard used the first spell he learned: "Thundara"

Completely useless, Obscura blocked his attack with his hand; laughing because Renard was too scared to fight him; so he showed him a real "Thundara", he only pointed to him and a huge thunder came out of his finger, that was enough to eliminate someone but the young Keyblade Master managed to block it with his sword.

"Too dangerous and powerful" he thought and another spell came to his mind, "Blizzaga" a freezing spell more powerful than Thundara and seemed it worked, Obscura was turned into an ice cube.

While he was into the ice, Robin Hood didn't had another choice than fight against his old friend and finally made him fell unconscious and just when Renard was about to help Robin, there was an explosion behind them; it was Obscura who escaped from the spell, this time he was furious.

"How you dare… how you dare! I have enough; I will turn this insignificant town into ashes!"

"Robin, Berry; run away, I can't stop him but at least I'll try to get you time to escape"

"I won't leave ya" Berry said

"Please, do it for me" those were Renard's last words, while a tear ran over his face; the little rabbit was about to run at Renard's side but Robin stopped her and ran as fast as they could, avoiding contact with the Soul Crushers.

"I didn't wanted to be a Keyblade Master, but I'm one now; I don't know why, but here I am"

His Keyblade aimed to the sky while Obscura showed an evil, crazy smile while the whole town was covered with fire.

No one of the remaining villagers couldn't believe that their beloved town wasn't anymore, Berry and Robin walked through the streets looking around, searching for any sign of life; finally reached the town's square.

The fight was over and the Keyblade without its owner was the proof, seemed intact but when Berry was about to hold it; Robin stopped her.

"Only a Keyblade master can hold it"

"Where's Renard"

He moved his head on a negative way, and thought "it's strange, why is the Keybalde still here?"

Six months later…

Greenwood Town was declared abandoned, the villagers moved to another town and the Keyblade found another master; the one who was originally chosen by Yen Sid.

Now that Leela wasn't an apprentice anymore, her job consisted on protect the ten worlds that were part of the Disney Kingdom.

But without knowing, in one of the kingdoms something was happening; Obscura was still alive and this time had someone at his side: Torbane.

"Shall we start with this place?"

"Seems peaceful, it's perfect; Soul Crushers, do what you want with those innocent people but bring me that girl alive and safe"

This is the end of the second chapter, maybe it's not too good so far; just give it some time. How's that Obscura survived? And who is Torbane?
