Kingdom Hearts: The Dalmatian Bodyguard
Prolouge
Far in the Mysterious Tower, Master Yen Sid could sense the Keyblade choosing Sora.
Yen Sid: And so, the Keyblade found its wielder. (Walking to his secret project) But I fear that won't be enough.
Yen Sid removed the cover from his project. It was a long black Katana with a cross-shaped guard and black lacquered sheath. This was Yubashiri. Once upon a time, it was used by a skilled pirate swordsman. So skilled, he developed a technique where he used three swords at once. After many battles, Yubashiri was rusted to nothing but dust. Master Yen Sid discovered this blade and decided to resort it to its former glory.
Yen Sid: (Speaking to the sword) I have mystically bound you to the Keyblade. Find someone strong in heart to protect the wielder.
Yubashiri immediately vanished to find a wielder. Master Yen Sid preformed a spell to show the alterations he done. First was a man in a soldier's uniform. Second was a dog that seemed to be generating electricity. Third was some kind of robot. And last was a ship from an era long passed.
Yen Sid: I fear this journey will be more dangerous than what Keyblade Masters of Old once faced. I can only hope my plan works.
Meanwhile, someone else was having a similar dream that Sora had. Only this one wasn't human, but a dog wearing a blue, orange, and light blue collar. This was Dolly Dalmatian. She woke up on a stained-glass window depicting a beautiful princess in a blue and gold dress surrounded by small men and woodland animals.
Dolly: Where am I?
Suddenly, she heard words in her mind with no voice.
?: So many to protect. Many enemies to fight. Know your strengths. The Key is still sleeping.
Dolly was confused as she walked forward.
?: (As a pedestal holding a sword, magic staff, and shield appeared) The power sleeps within you. If you give it form… You will be able to defend it better. Choose one.
Dolly walked to the sword and jumped onto the pedestal. She took the sword into her mouth.
?: The Power of the Warrior. Invincible Courage. A sword of terrible destruction. Is this the power you seek?
Dolly: (Muffled) Yes.
?: (As the sword vanished) The path is set. Now, what will you exchange for The Warrior?
Dolly looked between the staff and shield. She looked at the shield and thought it was a tool to defend. She thought of her family and how she would defend them. She couldn't give that up. She walked over to the staff.
?: The Power of the Mystic. Inner Strength. A staff of wonder and ruin. You give up this power?
Dolly: (Muffled) Yes.
?: (As the staff vanished) You've chosen the Power of the Warrior and gave up the Power of the Mystic. Is this the form you choose?
Dolly: Yes.
The pedestals sunk and the ground shattered beneath Dolly. She fell to another stained-glass window. This one depicting a different princess in a bright white ballgown with her dancing with someone and a single shoe. Dolly was lowered safely down and the sword appeared back in her mouth.
?: You've gained the power to fight. (Dolly swinging her blade to the best of her abilities) Don't worry, you'll fight differently later. You must use this power to protect the Key.
Suddenly, strange black creatures with green eyes came from the ground. These were Shadows.
?: There will be times you have to fight. Defend the light within you.
Dolly rushed at them and struck her blade at them. One by one, Dolly struck them down. Suddenly, the ground engulfed in shadow and Dolly sunk beneath them. She opened her eyes and found herself on another stained-glass window. In front of her was a door. She opened it and got blinded by the light. When her vision came back she was in the park back in her home of 101 Dalmatian Street, Camden Town, London.
?: Hold on. The door won't open yet. (As three German Shepard dogs appeared) First, tell me more about yourself.
Dolly walked to the first one German Shepard.
#1: What's most important to you?
Dolly: My family.
#1: Is family important?
Dolly walked to the next one.
#2: What are you so afraid of?
Dolly: Being alone?
#2: Is loneliness that bad?
Dolly walked to the last one.
#3: What do you want outta life?
Dolly: To be strong.
#3: To be strong, huh?
?: You want a family. You're afraid of being alone. You want to be strong. Your adventure will begin soon. Keep a steady pace and you'll come through fine.
Dolly: Ok.
?: Heed these next words well: The bonds you make shall strengthen your heart.
Light engulfed the surroundings and Dolly was on another stained-glass window. This one of a princess in a purple dress surrounded by roses and thorns. Before Dolly could let her guard down, Shadows surrounded Dolly. Gripping the sword, Dolly mowed them down. After the last one fell, Dolly felt like she was going to collapse as a green light shined in a spot.
?: Bathe in the light. It will heal you.
Dolly took a chance and did so. She felt her energy return. The light vanished as steps appeared to somewhere. Rushing ahead, Dolly came to another stained-glass window of a princess in a bright yellow dress.
?: The closer you get to light, the greater your shadow becomes.
Dolly looked at her shadow and it climbed out of her and grew to the size of a bull as it stood on its hind legs.
?: Don't be afraid.
Standing her ground, Dolly rushed at the creature. It slammed its fist, trying to crush her. Dolly dodged it and started to climb the beast. When she got at its head, she slashed it repeatedly. Disoriented, the beast stumbled back as Dolly pressed her attack. She jumped to its chest and slashed an X across it. The creature howled in pain as Dolly rushed at its right leg and stabbed it. Dolly saw the beast was close to the edge and decided to end it.
Dolly: (Running) Bow-Whacka-Wow!
Dolly jumped and stabbed the beast right in its chest, making it tumble off into the shadows below. Suddenly, the shadows started to engulf Dolly. She tried to fight but it just kept pulling her down.
?: You are the Guard. You will protect the Key.
Dolly stared at what light she had left… Then black.
