Author's Note: Hey guys! I'm very excited to start a Kingdom Hearts story! I guess it'll be my version of Kingdom Hearts III (which will come out very soon!) I've recently became obsessing with it (I know, I know. Where have I been all that time?) and it looks so much fun 3 of course, I have a crush on Sora XD and I can't stop playing his sacrificing song T_T damn it Sora. Although Riku's not that bad hehehe so that being said, this is my very first Kingdom Hearts story so I hope you'll stick with me till the end—it's going to be a long one! So without further ado, let's get started!

Prologue:

The area itself was dark and unwelcoming, blotting out any darkness. Only a mysterious fog with gloomy clouds filled the surroundings. It barely had any feel of warmth in the room; it was just cold and empty, lifeless.

"You think you can take over? Ha, not a chance!" a confident voice spoke.

The voice belonged to a figure who looked tattered and bruised, having cuts on his body. He looked worn out and if another strike hit him, he won't be able to survive. He felt his energy draining and he knew he wouldn't make out alive…if only there was some miracle.

Ever since that day, the person felt that there was something strange going on. He kept visiting the room for changes that were repeatedly being made. He gritted his teeth, tightening his grip on the handle.

He didn't want to call the others; they deserve a break after all the savings they had done. It wasn't fair to them. They needed to rest.

A deep rumbling laugh snapped him out of his thoughts and with anger, he glared at the massive figure that was in front of him. In fact, the massive shadow wasn't a person to begin with. In all honesty, the fighter wasn't really sure what it was in the first place. The entire being was just made out of shadows; that was it. It was created out of dark matter that got absorbed into this large figure.

"You imbecile! What hopes do you have in defeating me when I am the true form of darkness? You cannot hope to defeat me for I am all that is powerful!" the shadow boomed and the ferocity in its voice actually made the fighter be scared.

Just a little.

The person growled, his eyes dangerously being narrowed at the shadow. "You're wrong! I can defeat you! I will!" he then swung his weapon around so that the front was pointing at the being. "You shall be vanquished! Be gone, you foul fiend!"

The weapon began to glow than it did before though that didn't faze its owner. He kept his hard stare at the enemy while concentrating on his power that glowed brighter and brighter, radiating the room with its powerful light. This managed to give the dark being an annoyed roar from the light as it lifted its hand, placing it in front of his face like a shield.

The fighter gave a small smug as it seemed to be working but he could feel that he was slowly fading away. He didn't know just how much longer he would be able to fight this out.

Please. Just a little longer…just until I vanquish this fiend!

Maybe just maybe, if he was able to defeat this monstrosity by himself then there would be no need to call the others. Hell, he wouldn't even need to tell them what was happening but he would have to give them a good explanation on how he got the bruises and such.

"Now!" the person exclaimed, releasing a huge amount of radiating light towards the beast.

The foul fiend roared with agony as it felt the fiery light scorching its skin. The person grinned a little, watching as how the massive energy was slowly burning the shadow away. Raging with fury, the terrible being lifted its other free arm before straightening it, unleashing a massive streak of dark power.

The fighter widened his eyes as he knew he was done for. He closed his eyes and then, the massive wave of energy washed him over, sending him flying backwards at such a brutal speed that he crashed at a wall roughly before sliding down, slumped, barely unconscious.

The brute laughed maliciously as it prepared itself to launch another attack to finish the fighter once and for all. The shadow released its power and it rushed towards the fallen fighter at an incredible speed. However, before it could even reach the weakened warrior, something materialized in front of it as though it came from nowhere.

The newcomer appeared from a ball of light that shone brightly like the sun and the shadow screeched painfully from the blinding light, stopping its attack. It was as though time was suddenly frozen on the spot. Its illuminating eerie eyes turned around to look down at the fighter. It seemed as though that these two knew each other but everything was blurry for the hero who tried to stay conscious.

"I'll take it from here. You must go. Don't worry about me. You must go. You have to tell the others. There is no choice. I'll take you to them," the stern voice ordered.

The person could barely nod his head.

"Good," his eyes then soften. "Take care…and please…please, tell the others about what's to come. This thing…this being…it's not of this world. The worlds may be in danger once more," he slightly winced as the power of the darkness was beginning to take a toll on him.

With that, the figure raised his hands up and then he brought them closer so that a ball of light was created. He released it, sending it towards the person and just like that, the fighter was gone.

Eyes filled with fury, the newcomer seemed to made time go back to its normal flow but just in time, he created a shield that would block the terrible power.

"Be gone!" he yelled, raising his hands once more and the light that filled the room glowed even brighter until it began to consume the entire room.

The figure panted heavily; his vision was disoriented. Horrible injuries were taking a toll on him as he staggered, swaying left and right as he used the wall for support.

I must get…to them…

He winced when he felt the pain surging through his body. However, when he reached the great giant doors, he wanted to collapse right there. He barely had the strength to even open them.

I…must…

Gathering the strength of what he had, (which was very little), he finally managed to open the doors after several tries. The great doors groaned upon being opened and he resumed staggering. He was relieved when he saw the very figures he needed to see. They were all in this very room.

"Oh dear…what are we going to do?" a worried female voice spoke.

"I don't know, your Highness, but when His Majesty gets back, he'll tell us! I'm positive that he had beaten the terrible creature!"

"M—Minnie…"

Upon hearing the soft voice, Minnie turned around only to gasp from shock and horror. She quickly rushed towards the fallen person who collapsed on her arms.

"Mickey!" Minnie exclaimed, horrified at his state. "What happened? Mickey! Mickey!"

But, Mickey was no longer able to hear the crying pleas from his Queen or from his advisors. Before he passed out, he was able to utter a one single word before he went blacked out.

"S…S—ora…" and then, he knew no more.

Somewhere far away, on another island where it was known to be called as Destiny Island, a boy with brown spikey hair opened his eyes, being awakened with a start.

Author's Note: Whoo, things are rolling in! So now you know who that 'fighter' was at the beginning but who was the newcomer who took care of the shadow being? Where did it come from? What will happen to Sora? Will I ever stop asking questions? What happens next? Find out! Toodles!
