'Falling…'
A blue eye slowly flutters open to view the dark world around it, then closes once more at the feeling of weightlessness…
'I'm falling…'
The eye opens once more to look "Up" the sky rapidly disappearing as he plummeted closer and closer to the ground below…
'But… what am I falling into…'
The eye opens once more to gaze around, only to see specks of light shooting passed him and towards where the ground should be…
'Maybe… maybe I'm dreaming…'
Slowly tilting his head to look down, the blue-eyed boy sees water, and plummets into it, fading deeper and deeper into the dark depths of this oceanic tomb…
'But if this is all a dream…then why…'
The boy falls deeper and deeper still into the water, soon seeing the endless black consume his vision once more while falling deeper still…
'Then why am I all alone?'
A blond haired boy slowly awakes, a groan escaping his lips as he stands up, ankle deep in sand and looks around himself to find a desert… However the boy quickly turns, only to take a step back upon seeing a warrior dressed in gold and red armor knelling into the ground before him, before the man is a strange looking weapon that resembles a cross between a sword and a key. Silently, the armored figure rose up from his kneeling position and then pulled the massive weapon before him out of the ground, only to point it at the blond boy and lunge forward.
The man distorted the air around him he moved at such a speed, appearing right behind the shocker blond who turned his head and widened his eyes seeing the armored soldier behind him. The soldier lunged at the blond once more, hitting him with his strange weapon and sending him flying into and through a mountain. The blond rolled along the ground behind the mountain, soon managing to right himself into a skid, his teeth gritted as the soldier with the red and gold armor came rushing towards him.
This time however something attacked the man, knocking him to the side where he used his strange weapon to slow down. The person who attacked the Enigmatic Soldier was shrouded by dust from his attack on the warrior. Shaking his head the blond slowly got up, barely making out a silhouette of a figure before the ground split beneath him and he fell further bellow, deeper into darkness…
The blond found himself falling into darkness, soon however, he saw something else, and a strange glow coming from the ground below as he slowly turned. His feet touched down on solid ground, as he did however numerous birds flew up off the strange platform in the endless darkness. Following the birds the blond watched as they reached out into the endless void of darkness before looking to the new flow as it began to glow.
The floor seemed made of stained glass, on it was a odd scene: The scene it showed had a man in a hooded cloak at the forefront, numerous silhouettes behind him with three circles. In the circle to the left, there was a red haired man with violet eyes and two marks on his face under his eyes. In the one above was a silver haired man with tanned skin and yellow eyes. And last to the right was a blond haired boy who had blue eyes, but his hair spiked at an angle unlike the almost "Sun" shaped hair and no "Whiskers" on his face, unlike that of the blond looking down at the scene.
"Welcome…" Came a crisp voice from seemingly everywhere and nowhere at the same time… "Do not be afraid, I am merely here to help you on your journey…" The voice came once more and the blond boy looked around himself. "Now first… lets have a look at you…" The voice came and the blond felt like eyes were all around the area just looking at him with a disturbing fascination…
He was simple really, his bright blond hair was spiked out in every direction possible, a long black head band with a metal plate was on his brow over his bright blue eyes, his skin was tanned but not overly so, with a light athletic build, on each of his cheeks he had three whisker marks, and his outfit was dominated by a ghastly orange and black jumpsuit… "Hmm… no, I think not… that won't do at all… I know what will do however…" The voice mused to itself, probably ignoring the scowl on the face of the blond haired youth as with a snapping of nonexistent fingers the blond's attire changed in a flash of blue and violet flames…
He now wears a hooded jacket, it is mostly red with a b T shape up the front like on his jumpsuit, heart shaped shoulder guards are strapped around his shoulders with the sleeves of the jacket rolled up, revealing them to be black on the inside while a strap curves over the rolled up sleeves to attach to the shoulder guard, the front of the coat rising up to block any view of his lower face when zipped up with the hood pulled up over his bright blond hair completely obscuring his face from view. Over his arms is a pair of black gloves the reach up to cover his forearms, a pair of red gloves pulled over those and cuffed around his wrists with a metal plate at the back of each fist.
His legs are covered by a pair of black pants that cut off half way down his calves, a red belt around his waist with red straps crossing from both sides to a pair of red pouches at his thighs, more red belts curving around his thighs and his lower back to hold them onto his legs firmly. Last he now has a black pouch resting at the back of his waist with a pair of crimson colored sandal boots that reach up to mid calf to cover what little bit of his legs is left bare by his short pants, with a black heel and sole and black bands around his ankles and the base of his calves…
"Ah, that's much better…" The voice says, praising its work while the boy looks at his new clothes with obvious awe, though wonders why the voice gave it to him... "Now now… there will be time for questions later, for now we have much work to do…" The voice came again, startling the boy from his revere and the blond reaches up, slowly zipping the front of the jacket down all the way, allowing him to pull the hood down, revealing his face, sun kissed blond hair, and that he has a tight black shirt on under the jacket that reaches up his neck.
"Now, if you're ready…" The voice comes and with a flash of light a weapon appears hovering over the ground. It seems to be a sword at first, with a three-foot long blade that has a curved heart shape cut out of it, the area attached to the blade is gold while turning blue when it attaches to the handle, the pommel of the weapon is gold as well, while the cross-guard is crimson, and almost looks like flames as it curls down from above the handle down into the pommel… (Dark Heart Keyblade…)
"Go on… take it…" The voice said and the blond hesitated for only a second before taking hold of the weapons hilt and shivering as ebony flames formed over his arm and the weapon for a few moments. Looking at the weapon once more, the blond then finds what looks like shadows moving below him swallow him up, dragging him back into darkness once more…
The blond boy soon found himself struggling against nothing, he got up and rubbed the back of his neck at this. "Now then, Hand to Hand came before armed combat. Without it, there would be no swords nor shields nor any other weapon that we use today…" Came the voice and then Naruto saw the area around him light up, revealing the stained glass area beneath him this time. This one had another silver haired man with tan skin and yellow eyes. However, this man wore a strange outfit, having white gloves, a black leather trench coat, and a white button down shirt, anything else was cut off however. Behind this man was a strange creature however; it was large, looked to be blue and black with wrappings here and there over its form and a pair of bright yellow eyes.
Five circles were around this figure, with strange red heart shaped emblems between those. From left to right they went like this: in the first circle was a strange insect like creature, the next one looked similar to it only it was seemingly bigger and had blue veins over its form, the next one looked like a head with strange tendril hair that wrapped around its face, leaving only those large yellow eyes bare, the next one was shaped like a ball, with a large manic grin and yellow eyes, and finally, the last one looked odd, having a demonic face with two large horns coming out of it's head.
"However, movement is essential to ALL forms of combat, so lets start out with movement…" The voice said and the blond looked at his arms then nodded his head in agreement with the voice. "Good, then you can jump, run, flip and move in any way you can for a little while…" The voice offered and the blond rubbed the back of his neck, still holding the strange weapon in hand he jumped up and flipped into the center of the circle. The blond then ran around the platform a few times before flipping three times into the center once more.
The blond then slid forward, swinging the strange blade upwards and quickly moved his hand back, allowing him to land in a crouch. Smirking, the blond then spin on his heel and into a spinning jump, slashing his blade outward along the way and landing on one foot. However, he then fell down and groaned as he lifted a hand to his head, feeling both dizzy and foolish for doing that. Flipping up onto his feet, the blond began to take a few swings with his blade while inching forward, then rolled backwards, forwards and ducked to the sides a few times to see how much maneuverability he had…
"Excellent… now then, lets try a new type of mobility shall we…" The voice came and the blond raised a brow, until a bright light came from his side and he turned to see another strange blade. This one had a blade that was about two feet long, with a two foot long black handle, with a blue cats eye jewel near the very base of the hilt while the cross guard curved out and attached to the pommel, looking like some form of gear, the blade was designed strangely up to a golden gear shape, from the gear shape it had a straight silver bar that attached to another blue cats eye jewel, with a red almost gear like shape took up the head of the blade, giving it a key like shape. (Dark Soldier Key…)
Looking at the strange weapon, the blond immediately noticed it was MUCH thicker looking than the current blade he had. So walking forward, he took hold of it with his left hand, slightly amazed by the fact it didn't weigh as much as he thought it would. "Now then toss that to the ground…" The voice came and the blond looked around, thinking the voice was crazy before doing as told, only to blanch as the strange key began to hover off the ground.
Shaking his head, the blond hops onto the key and has to balance himself lest he falls off. "Don't worry… take your time to get used to it first…" The voice tells him and Naruto leans forward on the key and is surprised when it lurches forward ever so slightly, before he shifts his weight to the right, the blade tilting that way. Smirking slightly, the blond grinds his feet into the blade and shifts his weight forward, the blade goes flying forward and the blond has to quickly shift his weight to the side in order to avoid flying off the pedestal. However, instead, a long chain of pedestals appeared and the blond looked around, before then flying off along the numerous steps like path.
He soon came to a new stained glass floor and raised a brow when he saw it. It had a desert scene on it, with three figures made to dominate it, one in red/gold armor with an almost dog shaped helmet, then another in gold/silver armor with a similar helmet to the first one, and last was one in Violet/silver armor whose helmet seemed to have wings on the sides, a cape traveled down the backs of each armored warrior and strange emblems were forming all along the edge of the scene.
The blond then got an idea and leaned forward on the blade, while also shifting his weight back, trying to flip. However he wasn't fast enough and instead he fell off the blade and to his ass, while the blade then fell to his side. Groaning in pain and slowly getting up, the blond mentally decided to wait until he had more experience before he tried that trick ever again. "Good, you understand how to move quite well…now… time for your next lesson…" The voice came once more as a portal appeared at the side. Looking at it, Naruto grabbed the blade at his side and tossed it into the air, then ran and jumped onto it, flying into the portal with a grin…
The blond boy flew out of the portal, and flipped off the blade, quickly catching it with his left hand he then stuck it onto his back, however he now looked around at this new area. This time the scene on the stained glass looked just as strange as the last one had… This one had a brown haired boy leaning back into a circular pattern, a strange key-shaped weapon like the blonds own in one hand, circles with crowns flowed over most of the area where the boy was then around in a perfect circle, beside of the boy's head were four circles, in these circles held a girl with short hair, a boy with shoulder length hair, a duck with a hat, and a dog like face with a hat, below the circle with these faces however looked to be the edge of an island of some kind…
"Now then… lets see if you can fight with your new weapons…" The voice mused to itself as creatures suddenly appeared before the blond. These creatures were black in color, with curled feelers on their heads, sharp-clawed hands, two large yellow eyes, and no toes on their feet. Gripping the strange weapon in his hands, the blond lunged forward, swinging his weapon into the first of the creatures sent it flying while twisting on his heel he managed to connect with the next one's body and chop it in half.
However, he didn't see the one behind him until it had managed to claw him along the back, but he did spin on his heel, slicing through all of the weak creatures save the one he had knocked away. Griping the hilt of his strange weapon tightly the blond lunged forward only to hear the voice once more. "Wait." It said calmly as the blond's blade halted a mere inch from the head of the creature. "With the power held within you, you can command these beings to do your bidding…" The voice said and the blond blinked then tried to think of how he could command these things…
With a flash of light it seemed his question was answered, three silver bands appearing on each arm with a single jewel held in each one, one at his wrists, the next on the middle of his forearms, and the last around his biceps, obscured by his jacket. "These will help you control the creatures mind, they are called Spellbinders…" The voice came and the blond held his right arm towards the yellow eyed "Shadow" and a strange heart shaped object flew out of it and into the band on his right wrist, the jewel now glowing a bright violet.
"Your Spellbinders are your link to magic, use them wisely…" The voice came once more and the blond looked at the other gems before looking down on the tiny creature before him. It looked up at him at the same time, and he ordered it to find a way for him to leave. The tiny creature moved quickly heading over to the side of the room and creating a large gate of dark energy like the ones that had appeared before. Nodding to himself, the blond haired young man walked over to the dark gate and then stopped when the voice returned yet again…
"We are not done yet my friend… for no matter how strong you become… many will seek your downfall… so you must become a Seeker as well…" The voice said cryptically and the blond frowned, and then walked through the gate and back into the darkness once more…
"But always be wary, your enemies are numerous and can appear at anytime…" The voice came and the blond suddenly finds himself in a familiar looking desert; however, he's seeing the scene differently as he sees himself appear; only it's him in his orange clothing? He watches as the other him shakes his head and then looked around the area, seemingly confused, as he should be. A loud almost breathing sound from the wind brings both blonds to look over to a swirling cloud of dust and sand. This miniature sand storm slowly subsides however and then they see the familiar red/gold armored warrior from before his knees to the ground… this time however… he is NOT silent…
"Aqua… Ven… Keyblade…" Comes a raspy metallic almost breath like sounds, yet he still hears the words from the man as he kneels down. "Who are you? I can feel it… We've met before. But when?" The armored man questions while looking towards the boy, his breathing audible even through his helmet. "No… it isn't you… it isn't you that I've chosen. Why isn't it him?" The man then says while continuing to kneel down to the ground. "Xe… ha… ort… Xeha…nort… is that you? Xehanort!" The strange "Enigmatic Soldier" says darkly while slowly standing up, then pulls his massive weapon from the ground and lunged forward…
The blond watches as the Soldier shoots forward, passed his other self and behind him in a burst of speed. The Soldier then turns and lunges at his other self, sending him flying into and through a mountain, to roll and skid to a halt a fair distance away… The Soldier then rushed at the other blond quickly, only for the true blond to throw his key and hop on; riding it he intercepted the Soldier and sent him flying in an explosion of dust while landing on the ground.
Looking around for a bit, the blond saw the numerous Key Shaped weapons in this area, looking almost like a graveyard of some kind. The blond ignored this however and slung his larger weapon onto his back; turning slowly he saw his other self fall into the earth and be consumed by Darkness and actually smirked… now he got to play with this freaky soldier all by himself… "But worry not… for your power is great enough to protect you from anything…" The voice comes once more as the blond slowly nods his head, tightening his grip on his blades.
However, he then sees the gems on his biceps both start to glow the boy couldn't help but smirk as he reached up, and touched both of them. At that moment it seemed as if the Darkness was going to consume him once more. However this was not the case, instead the darkness coated him, forming into some kind of armor over his body as he held his arms in an X formation over his chest, smirking as the shadows wrapped over his form and created his new armored look…
His body was now changed, showing black muscle like tissue, with red forming over his hands and forearms, his fingers black, his feet were covered by dark crimson boots with black soles and silver trim at the top, his knees by crimson padding, red armor over his groin, legs covered in the strange black muscular tissue, his arms save his forearms and hands were as well, while his chest and stomach muscles were covered by red/black tissue, leaving his back and the rest of his torso covered in the black muscular tissue. Around his waist however is a red belt looped around them with a strange tattered black/red "skirt" hanging down his thighs and around the back, leaving the front open while a pair of red belts form an X between them to hold the flaps together.
At that moment, the blond looked up to the Enigmatic Soldier as he rose up, only to smirk as a silver piece formed over his lower face, curling back along his head and resembling jagged flames until a black field of some kind appeared and covered his entire face and head. All that was left of his original self was the six spellbinders on his arms, and the heart shaped armor on his shoulders. Looking to the two weapons in his hands, the new being crouched down before shooting forward.
The Soldier shook his head, then quickly blocked as the blond now consumed by Darkness brought his two blades down on his single blade. The Blond then moved quickly he used his weapons to knock the Soldier into up into the air, then jumped up and began to slash at him wildly before sending him flying back. Tossing his large weapon down and landing on it he shooting forwards. The Soldier quickly retaliated however, shifting and warping forward at amazing speed he and the Blond continued to duel one another fiercely.
The blond soon ducked and flew under a string of aerial attacks, and lunged at the Soldier, taking a firm hold of his weapon with both hands he used it to knock the Soldier up and then jumped into a spin, sending him flying back, only to skid along the ground. Crossing his arms, the blond looked at his work with a smirk, only to frown seeing the armor the Soldier had been wearing slowly stand, then glow and shatter to the ground, completely empty.
"Yet for every enemy you defeat or destroy… more will take their place…" Growling low in his throat, the blond began to look around for his foe, looking in every direction he could until he finally saw them… three figures in the dust walking towards him were dressed oddly to the blond, while each was also carrying a different key like weapon…
These three were soon revealed however, the first was a boy with spiky brown hair and blue eyes, next to him on the right was a tall boy with long silver hair and green eyes, and then to his left was a girl with long crimson colored hair and blue eyes… The blond boy's eyes narrowed in hate seeing these three, and he quickly stepped off his blade then kicked it into the air, grabbing it with a single hand he placed it securely onto his back. The blond then moved forward towards the group as well, soon coming to stand directly before the brown haired boy. He looked into the brown haired boys eyes, hate clearly flowing from the Darkness consumed blond…
However at that moment, two more apparitions appeared, these two stood beside of the darkness consumed blond. On his right and glaring at the silver haired boy was one in armor like his, only blue, save the red on his hands/forearms and blue fingers, with a white "skirt" with tattered blue edges, his helmet was designed with what looked like blades coming off the sides to point backwards, the "Muscles" down his front were all blue with a large black heart in the middle with a red border of some kind.
Like the one in red, something was added to his armor, in his case he had a purple rope tied around his waist, with only two Spellbinders on his arms, one at each bicep. In his hand he had a strange sword that appeared to have an eye at the base of the blade, the blade itself was shaped like an outstretched bat wing, with a black leather handle, a spike jutting from part of the wing and a red underside to it that came down into the cross guard four small silver pieces were on both sides of the weapon while the pommel was an arrowhead shape. (Soul Eater…)
To his left and staring impassively towards the girl was another girl; dressed in a Black and Violet version of the armor the other two wore. Her fingers were black with violet on her forearms, and the muscles down her chest and stomach were a solid violet, her skirt was black with violet edges, and had a violet belt that had two violet straps coming down the edges of the tattered "Skirt" not holding the flaps together unlike the last two, violet armor forming over her groin like the others had. Her helmet was also different, having the same black field covering most of her head; the silver part had formed along her jaw and then curved back into two blades that pointed upwards, then into a second pair that curved down like hair from the back.
This one like the last two had something added over her armor, a black scarf was tied around her neck, and two pairs of Spellbinders were over her arms, one at each bicep and one at each of her wrists. In her hand the girl carried a simple weapon, it had a silver blade with a crown shaped end, a blue piece near the base of the blade, a golden cross guard that curled on both sides into the pommel, a black leather handle, and a long keychain with a strange symbol at the end of it. (Kingdom Key…)
The six people all look to the one in front of them, eyes meeting the black fields that cover the faces of the three armored warriors. "But remember… for every ally you gain… more enemies shall surely follow…" The voice said while numerous shadows walked behind the three warriors before the red Seeker. Turning his own head however he saw numerous more Seeker's heading towards them as well, pulling more of the Key-Shaped weapons out of the ground as they came to stand behind the first three.
"But do not forget…" The voice added as the wind began to blow against the dozens of warriors, and they all slowly turned to the side, a cloud of dust heading towards them, a shadowed figure walking ever closer to them they all tighten their grips on their weapons. "That though they are protectors and defenders of light…" The voice added as the fog allowed them a better vision of the person, showing a man, dressed in a long black cloak with a zipper up the front and silver chain at the throat, the hood pulled up over his head, hands and feet clad in black gloves and boots…

AU: Hope you like the preview here. Like it or not, I've had a bite of inspiration for this, obviously, it's another Dark Naruto fic, well… maybe Semi-Dark but you'll see if I ever get to actually making this into a fic. Also, in case the armors are confusing for the last three here's where they came from as it were…
Enigmatic Soldier: From KH2: Final Mix, otherwise known as Terra the brown haired knight from Birth by Sleep…
Red Seeker: Based after "Xehanort's Apprentice/Dark Soldier" from Birth by Sleep, added Shoulder guards, and the Spellbinders so he was separate from the other two.
Blue Seeker: Based after Riku's "Dark Form" from KH1, Added the rope around his waist, and the Spellbinders to separate him from the others.
Violet Seeker: My own design… go figure… loosely based after the other two combined with my own cosmetic changes to make it more feminine.
