Kingdom Hearts: X-Blade Academy VOL I ( On hold, resuming around December 20th! )

The Rainfell

Slater awoke the next day in his Keyblade armor, like he had magically transported to some place. But this place didn't seem real, it felt like a dream.

It was a dry world, with many earthy mountains rising from the ground. His muscles ached for some reason, his mouth dry. Something was wrong here, and he'd have to figure out what. He kept walking and walking around the whole place. Then, he wandered into a valley full of cyclones. He glided past them, as they tried to pick him up.

He was swirling around, his senses not working normally, like he was half awake. He was launched to the ground after swirling into the cyclone. His eyes started to hurt. His armor caked with dirt and mud. This armor didn't feel like his, it felt heavy, large, but protective. It was something that had been consumed by darkness. He felt it, it was a lingering will, trying to break free from something..

He was on the ground, feeling broken now, but he started to lift up, not by himself, but of the force of the armor. It started to run, as he rattled inside of it. They ran, and a Keyblade that wasn't his summoned in his hand, or the armor's hand. "What the-" The armor pointed the Keyblade up, threw it, as it turned into a vehicle that he had never seen. They were off into the Lanes Between.

This whole experience felt very out of his body, which he was, since he felt like he was dreaming. They flew to a world, a huge castle, simmilar to the one at Radiant Garden.

The armor de-summoned it's self, leaving Slater now alone. Then, it re-appeared infront of him, but it was hollow. "Who are you?" Slater asked. All it made was metallic noises, but he could understand them. "I'm a heart who was swallowed by darkness. There are some thing's i need to show you." It said. It pointed it's huge keyblade at the door to the castle. It unlocked, adn the armor grabbed Slater, and rushed through the whole thing, untill they were at one final door. "Home." The armor said. Slater summoned his Lost Memories keyblade, somehow, and unlocked the door. It opened, and he saw a boy who was sleeping. The armor dropped Slater. He noticed his spiky blonde hair, a tiny bit darker than Cloud's. On his shoulder rested a plate for summoning Keyblade Armor.

"Uh oh!" The armor said. Darkness surrounded the room, Slater tried to cast reflect, but was too weak. 

Slater awoke in the bunkers again, the earth shaking. Incredible darkness was being sensed still; it was the after math. He was screaming. "Slater what's wrong!" He felt a Keychain in his hand, a raindrop. It summoned into a keyblade, color schemed much like Aqua. "! How did you get that?" She asked. He stared in amazement. "I dont know, i was in a dream. His head started to hurt, his vision blurry. "Slater your eyes!" Slater fell off the bunkbed, hitting the ground hard.

"I am, The Lingering Will."
