Dark Destiny: Kingdom Hearts

Prologue: Dive to the Heart

The scene opens to show a boy around the age of twelve with bright spiky red hair falling through an endless black abyss, a trail of light blue bubbles flowing from him as he fell.

The boy opened his eyes briefly as he fell; his eyes were a bright emerald-green. He wore a simple white t-shirt, a pair of light blue jeans, and a pair of blue-gray shoes.

The boy slowly flipped over just in time for his feet to land on a flat invisible surface.

He looked around briefly before taking a small step forward. Suddenly a bright light came from the spot his foot touched and it quickly spread out before turning into a large flock of birds that flew into the endless blackness. As the light was spreading out it revealed that the boy was standing on a large circular pillar made of stained glass.

A shot from bird's-eye view revealed that the stained glass was a mural with the profile of a mysterious girl around the age of thirteen with the most unusual appearance the boy had ever seen. The girl had short jaw-length indigo colored hair that was dark enough, that it probably would have been confused with the color black and unique pupil-less pearl colored eyes with the faintest hints of lavender to them. She wore a baggy cream-colored hooded jacket with a fire symbol on the upper right and left sleeves and fur trim around the cuffs and hem of the jacket, a pair of navy blue pants, and a pair of navy blue ninja sandals. The girl had a shy and withdrawn demeanor as it appeared that she was trying to hide herself, from what the boy didn't know, but he did see the look of sadness in her eyes.

The mural was intricately designed. It had many circles with the pictures of several people in them. There were three boys around the same age as the girl an older woman and a little girl. One boy had dark brown hair, dark brown eyes, and a puppy that had white fur with brown patches on it. Another circle held a boy who too had dark brown hair but whatever color his eyes were was unknown since they were hidden by pitch-black glasses and the rest of his face from the eyes down was covered by a gray high collared overcoat. The third boy was a great contrast compared to the other two. He had sun-kissed blond hair, tanned skin, deep blue eyes, and an odd set of whisker-like scars on his cheeks. The woman was young and quite attractive; she had long black hair, and a pair of striking red eyes. She had a look of strength on her face and she looked like she doesn't take any crap from anyone. The little girl bared a strong resemblance to the other girl on the mural only with black/brown hair, and lacking the lavender tint to her eyes. At the bottom of the mural was an image of a large village with a mountain with four faces carved into it looking over said village. The circular mural had cherry blossoms acting as the border while the rest of the mural had a lavender tint to it.

'Where am I?' the boy thought as he surveyed the area.

So much to do,

"Who's there?!" the redhead shouted in shock as he looked about for the source of the voice.

So little time...

Take your time.

Don't be afraid.

'What's going on?' thought the boy.

The door is still shut.

Now step forward.

Can you do it?

A beam of light shone down onto the center of the platform.

The boy tentatively walked forward until he was directly under the light. He looked around into the darkness until three pedestals rose out of the floor. On the pedestal to his left floated a simple double-edged sword and a shield. On the pedestal to his right was a simple wooden magic staff with a simple red orb on top. And on the last platform was a simple double-edged long sword.

Power sleeps within you.

If you give it form...

Choose well.

The boy walked forward and picked up the sword.

The power of the warrior.

Invincible courage.

A sword of terrible destruction.

Is this the power you seek?

The boy thought for a moment before shaking his head and placing the sword back onto the pedestal. He then moved over to the pedestal that held the staff.

Power of the mystic.

Inner strength.

A staff of wonder and ruin.

Is this the power you seek?

The boy gave some thought before ultimately shaking his head and placing the staff back onto the pedestal. He finally moved onto the shield and the sword that accompanied it.

The power of the knight.

Kindness to aid friends.

A sword to strike down your enemies.

A shield to repel all.

Is this the power you seek?

The boy gave it serious thought before nodding. The weapons then disappeared in a flash of light.

Your path is set.

Now what will you give up in exchange?

The boy gave it some thought for a few moments before moving towards the sword.

The power of the warrior.

Invincible courage.

A sword of terrible destruction.

You give up this power?

The boy nodded and the weapon then disappeared in a flash of light.

You've chosen the power of the knight.

You've given up the power of the warrior.

Is this the form you choose?

The boy nodded.

The pedestals began to sink into the ground and the mural began to shatter. The boy attempted to run but in the end he couldn't outrun it and he fell into the eternal blackness. He continued until another circular stained glass mural appeared below him.

The mural was similar to the one before it only this time it had the profile of a short and petite girl around the age of sixteen with light skin and violet-colored eyes. Her hair was black, with several strands of hair hanging between her eyes. She wore a long white kimono and what appeared to be a red choker around her neck. Like the other mural this one had images of people the boy was beginning to assume were close to the girl. One was of a young man with spiky orange hair and brown eyes. Another was of a young man with straight chin-length raven colored hair that frames his face, and a pair of glasses that hang over his blue eyes. A third image depicted a man with long messy black hair with bangs that mostly cover his eyes. And the last image had a girl with long burnt orange hair and silver eyes filled with kindness. The background of this mural was of a large city with Japanese styled buildings and several tall white towers in the distance sitting in front of a large rocky cliff. The border to this mural was a series of white snowflakes with long white ribbons swirling around them. The rest of the mural had an ivory tint to it.

The boy was able to gently land on his feet.

You've gained the power to fight.

The sword and shield appeared in his hands.

He then swung the sword through the air to see how well-balanced it was.

All right! You got it.

Use this power to protect yourself and others.

The boy looked around a little before a mysterious shadow appeared on the floor.

There will be time where you'll have to fight.

The boy looked closely at the shadow just as it began to rise off the ground. The strange creature was roughly humanoid in appearance but no bigger than that of a child and more greatly resembled an ant. It had ink-black skin, small zigzagging antennae, clawed hands with three fingers on each, round feat with no toes, and empty yellow eyes.

Keep your light burning strong.

More of the same creature rose from the floor.

'What are these things?!' the boy thought as he entered a battle stance. He stood straight with his shield held in front of him and his sword was calmly held to the side but ready to strike. (Think the Warrior of Light's battle stance in Dissidia Final Fantasy.)

The creatures ran at the boy intending to rip him apart. One of the ant-like creatures jumped into the air, but the boy knocked it back with his shield, and with one quick slash from his sword, sliced the creature in half.

After seeing one of their own so easily slain the rest of the shadow-like creatures sank back into the ground and disappeared.

The boy looked around to make sure that all the strange had disappeared. But unbeknownst to him, one of the shadow-like creatures had reappeared on the floor and crept up behind him. It quickly rose from the ground.

Behind you!

The boy quickly turned around as more of the shadows appeared.

Even though the creatures had the opportunity for a surprise attack, they were all easily defeated.

The last of the creatures began to sink back into the floor, but as it did a thick black shadow spread from where it sank until it covered the entire mural.

The boy began to struggle and flail about as he began to sink into pool of darkness and within moments he was fully submerged.

The boy continued to struggle until he realized that he was lying on another mural.

This mural was different from the two before it. This mural did not have the image of a girl or other people on it. Instead it had nine hearts on it, each with the silhouette of a girl with a crystal above their heads. The mural had no background or border and only had a pinkish-red tint to it.

As the red-haired boy stood up he noticed a beam of light shining down onto a large oak wood door. He went to investigate the door but soon realized that he could not use it for he could see straight through the door. The redhead turned around as the beam of light moved to the bottom of the mural. When the light stopped a wooden treasure chest appeared under it.

The boy walked over to the chest and opened it. To his shock and disappointment it was empty. He looked back to the door and saw that it had become less transparent. The treasure chest then disappeared.

A large crate then appeared in front of the door.

He walked over to it and pushed it aside. He suddenly thought that something useful could be inside and he proceeded to smash it open.

Among the debris was a small bottle filled with green liquid. He figured that the item would come in handy and stuffed it into his pocket.

The door became more solid but still couldn't be opened.

A wooden barrel appeared onto the platform.

The boy walked over to the barrel and picked it up. He heard an odd chiming sound and the door became completely solid. He put down the barrel and walked towards the door.

The door slowly opened and the boy had been engulfed in a blinding white light.

When the light faded the redhead found himself in the middle of a forest clearing. He then noticed that he was surrounded by two girls and one boy.

The child in front of him was a girl around the age of twelve with wavy emerald-green hair that was pulled into a ponytail and purple eyes. She was wearing a knee-length red dress and a pair of heeled red boot that looked like they were made to support someone with naturally high ankles.

The second girl was around the age of twelve with long black hair that was pulled up to look short and held up by a yellow and green headband with two little white puff balls on the sides of her head just above her ears, She had two chin-length bangs framing the sides of her face and three smaller bangs falling between her green eyes. Said eyes were without light, pale, and unfocused showing that the girl was in fact blind. She wore a light green tee-shirt under a light yellow vest, light green shorts, and a black bracelet "carved" from a meteorite. She wore no shoes as she preferred to walk barefoot.

And the last was a boy around the age of eleven with short brown hair, brown eyes, and freckles. He wore yellow shirt covered by a long green jacket, a white mantle, and a yellow scarf. He wore brown fingerless gloves, fitted black pants, and knee-length brown boots with white cuffs.

Hold on.

The door won't open just yet.

First, tell me more about yourself.

The emerald eyed boy walked to the green haired girl first.

"What's most important to you?" asked the girl.

"Friendship." answered the redhead.

"Is friendship such a big deal?" asked the emerald haired girl.

The boy then walked over to the second girl.

"What are you afraid of?" asked the blonde.

"Being indecisive." answered the boy.

"Being indecisive? Is that really so scary?" asked the blind girl.

The boy then walked over to the other boy.

"What do you want out of life?" asked the brunet.

"To broaden my horizons." answered the redhead.

"To broaden my horizons, huh?" said the younger boy.

You want friendship.

You're afraid of being indecisive.

You want to broaden your horizons.

Your adventure begins in the dead of night.

Keep a steady pace and you'll come through fine.

"Sounds good." said the boy.

The day you will open the door is both far off and very near.

The scene then faded into a blinding white before the boy found himself on another mural. This time the mural resembled the first two he had seen as this one had a girl on it. The girl looked to be twelve to thirteen years old with ash blonde hair tied into two pigtails and large green eyes. She wore a typical school girl outfit underneath a black trench coat with a cloak-like end. The rest of the outfit consisted of a white blouse with a yellow sweater-vest, a red plaid skirt, a striped green and white tie, black boots with white buckles, and a pair of white gloves. Accompanying the girl were the images of several people. One of them was a boy with white hair that was swept to one side, red eyes, and sharp shark-like teeth. Another one was was a boy with straight black hair with three horizontal white stripes going halfway around his head on the left side and eyes with two different shades of yellow ringed around his eyes. There were also two girls with blonde hair but in two different shades and styles as well as blue eyes. Another person was a boy with spiky light blue hair that resembled a star and green eyes. There was another girl with long black hair pulled into a ponytail and large indigo eyes. The background of the mural was of a city in the middle of a dessert with a giant orange sun with a face and a large crescent moon, also with a face laughing/cackling in the sky. The mural had a light blueish tint and its border were several balls of light with the kanji for soul on them.

The boy walked to the center of the mural.

When the boy reached the center of the mural a group of the ant-like shadow creatures appeared.

He drew his weapons and readied himself for battle.

After a few minutes of fighting the redhead defeated the last of the creatures.

As the boy panted from exhaustion a beam of light shone down onto the center of the mural and a large blue crystal that was bigger than him appeared under it.

The boy walked over to the crystal and laid a hand on it. Within moments he felt instantly rejuvenated and all of his injuries had been healed.

The beam of light moved down and off of the mural. A moment later a flight of stairs made of stained glass appeared over the void and led towards a large pillar in the distance.

The boy ran up the staircase and onto the top of the pillar.

On the top of the pillar was yet another mural with the profile of a young teenage girl with brown eyes and brown hair that was styled in a bowl cut. She wore what looked like a school uniform comprised of a white short-sleeve shirt with a blue neckerchief and a blue mini skirt. Like the others she had the images of other people around her. One was another teenage girl with short black hair with a single bright red bang and blue eyes with strong looking dark blue eyes. Another was of a young boy with brown hair and amber eyes with a bandage across his nose and his hair styled in a way to make him look like a punk. The third was of a rather chubby-faced man with short brown hair and amber eyes with a large friendly grin on his face. The fourth was of an older woman with light brown hair tied up in a bun and a rather thick fringe over her forehead, and amber eyes, like the rest of her family. And the last, oddly enough, was a dog wearing a hoodie. The background was of a large building set on the top of and island city that ascended towards the sky like a mountain. The mural had a reddish tint and had the small, four-point stars acting as the border.

A beam of light shown over the center of the mural.

The boy slowly walked forward until he was directly under the light.

As he looked up to find the light's source he heard the mysterious voice again.

The closer you get to the light, the greater your shadow becomes.

The boy turned around and saw that his shadow had grown in length. He watched as his shadow lifted itself off of the floor and changes its form.

But don't be afraid.

The shadow turned into a massive, muscular, humanoid creature with black skin. Its legs are rather short and its feet are pretty thin and curl upwards. Its arms are rather long, and it had two relatively small, twisted wings on its back. There is a large, heart-shaped hole in the creature's abdominal area, which penetrates straight through from the creature's front to its back. Its head had dozens of twisted, black tentacles wrapped around its face. And only its glowing yellow eyes were visible.

Keep your light strong.

The boy began to back away.

And don't forget...

The boy turned around and tried to run away but had to stop himself from running off of the edge of the mural topped pillar. He turned back around to gaze at the monster before him.

Seeing no other alternative the child drew his weapons and charged at the giant.

The battle began with the giant coating its fist in dark energy and slamming it onto the floor.

The boy avoided the attack and saw that a dark portal opened a pool of dark energy at the point of impact.

Rising from the pool were more of the strange child-size shadow creatures the boy had fought up until now.

"More of these things?!" the boy asked himself in annoyance.

The small creatures charge at the boy but are quickly defeated.

The dark giant reared its fist back once more.

The redhead was barely able to dodge the strike in time.

The monster kept its fist held to the floor and the boy saw an opening. He jumped onto its arm and ran up the limb.

When he reached the giant's shoulder he stabbed his sword into the monster's soulless yellow eye using all of his strength.

The beast roared in pain as its black, mist-like blood spurted out of the now empty socket. It grabbed the boy and threw him off of its shoulder causing him to lose his sword and shield when he hit the floor.

The redhead lay on the ground, in too much pain to move.

The black-skinned giant looked down at the boy with it towering stature.

The redhead looked on in fear as the giant began to reach for him. But unbeknownst to him a pool of dark energy opened up directly under him. The mysterious voice echoed within his head.

-But don't be afraid.

Tendrils of darkness began to wrap around the boy as he tried to crawl away.

You hold the mightiest weapon of all.

He continued his attempt to escape, though it was to no avail.

The monster reached closer towards him.

So don't forget.

The boy looked back just as he was fully engulfed by the darkness. In that moment he locked eyes with the giant and saw nothing but emptiness and unending hunger. And then everything went black.

You are the one who will open the door.

And then everything was silent.

End of Prologue

Authors Note

Titano Man: I hoped you enjoyed the prologue of Dark Destiny: Kingdom Hearts. Now the beginning of this fanfiction will be very close to the first Kingdom Hearts but with enough differences to still make it my own. In fact this story will run along the first game, though only after a three-year time skip. Now this story will be featuring Anime and other Video Game worlds of my choosing. Obvious hints to which Anime are seen in this chapter. The girls seen are four of the thirteen women that are important to the plot. They are this fan fiction's equivalent to the Seven Princesses of Heart but not exactly, since they exist simultaneously with them, and there are thirteen of them. Though I'll give you a hint... They are either all important to the events of their respective worlds, are powerful warriors, or have high social standings within them. Well, twelve of them are. The last one's an Original Character. I may include Disney characters in future chapters, but not too many. If you have any comments or questions, please feel free to leave a review or PM me. I'm also open to suggestions. So with that I say farewell for now.

Sora: See you guys later!
