PrologueThis scene cuts to a humanoid shadow falling in an endless abyss. The darkness around them disappears and his form is revealed. He opens his eyes and takes a look around him. A voice echoes in the shadows
Voice: "Long ago, people lived in peace, bathed in the warmth of light. Everyone
loved the light. Then people began to fight over it. They wanted to keep it
for themselves. And darkness was born in their hearts. The darkness spread,
swallowing the light and many people's hearts. It covered everything, and
the world disappeared. But small fragments of light survived, in the hearts
of children. With these fragments of light, children rebuilt the lost world.
It's the world we live in now."The figure lands on his feet. He looks down on the platform, and takes a step forward. The five emblems rise from the floor and hover around him.
Anguis, the Serpent
Leopardos, the Leopard
Unicornis, the Unicorn
Ursus, the Bear
Vulpes, the FoxA question pulls at the back of his mind
Voice: Which Union does your heart belong to?
He chooses the Union Vuples. Darkness creeps over the platform headed towards him swallowing him up. Beneath the ceaseless darkness a light shines. Causing him to cover his eyes. In a flash, the darkness is dispelled upon the platform, leaving the Keyblade wielder with his weapon in his hand.
Voice: "The Keyblade's hold the power of light--the power to drive away the
darkness. But your keyblade is different. It holds the power of the dark. Able to create and destroy. How will you use this power?"A flash of light brings him to the Fountain Square of Daybreak Town, where he crosses paths with a small purple talking cat.
????????: "Pretty scary stuff, huh? But you get an A for effort."
The Keyblade wielder looks a little confused. Looking around trying to find where the voice is coming from. Then, he looks down.
????: You look a little confused. Here's what's going on. Your strength in the darkness made you the perfect candidate for a Keyblade wielder. Darkness is spreading and it's up to you to use the weapon to absorb it, change it, and in turn save the world. The monsters that you are about to see also come from the darkness.
They are called heartless. These Heartless scour the world searching for hearts, spreading darkness as they go. The Keyblade is an effective weapon against them. I hope this is all sinking in... Anyway, I was assigned by a certain someone to watch over a new Keyblade
wielder--you! I'm Nightmare Chirithy! I'll be supporting you the whole way, teaching
you everything you need to know and more.Kurayami: "The heartless eh? They sound like a big problem. Welp. It's nothing a little
recruiting can't fix."*He thinks for a while I wonder...if the heartless had a master would they act differently. If they were trained not to do that.... He then comes back*
Kurayami: "Oh! I'm Kurayami by the way. It's nice to meet ya Chirithy."
Chirithy: "Nice to meet ya too! Right now, that Keyblade is just like you--it has
room to grow. To unleash its true power, you'll need to use "fragments"--
special Medals that you can set in your Keyblade. Anyway, that's a lot to
take in, so why don't you use the Heartless here for some practice?"Kurayami makes his way through the 1st District, defeating Heartless
and collecting Lux, when in a flash a Foreteller appears before them. The
Foreteller stands tall in flowing robes, hiding their face behind a mask.Ava: "You've managed to tap into the power of the Keyblade. Lesser
Heartless won't stand a chance, but in order to defeat stronger foes..."(A corridor of darkness opens and a looming and giant Heartless emerges)
Ava: "You must combine your strength with those who share your purpose and aspirations.
The Darkside Heartless peers down at the Keyblade through a mess of tendril-
like hair, its yellow eyes devoid of emotion. Six other Keyblade wielders rush in pulling out their Keyblades.Ava: "Your friends will become your power."
Each of the wielders strike the Darkside and the Heartless is defeated. The
Foreteller addresses Kurayami as the others stand behind him.Ava: "There are others who collect the light, but not all of them share the same goal of bringing peace to the world. You must discover who amongst us walks the path of evil.
Kurayami nods. A portal appears and the Foreteller and the other keyblade wielders walk through it, leaving Daybreak Town. Later, Kurayami is alone with Chirithy
Chirithy: "I know this is overwhelming, but the heartless wait for no one! In
fact, they found its way to a bunch of other worlds, which need your help. I
know a way to these places. Are you ready?Chirithy points to the Keyblade and motions ahead of the Kurayami . He aims the Keyblade ahead of him, shooting a beam of darkness, opening a portal to Dwarf Woodlands. Chirithy then goes in the portal. As Kurayami watches Chirithy go in the portal. he looks at the defeated Darkside heartless.
Kurayami:" I wonder..."
*Kurayami then says the words "Arise". The heartless gets back up. Now in full strength and under his command.*Kurayami: "Great. Now I want you to stay in my shadow for now. We'll never know what will happen next."
As the heartless goes in Kurayami's shadow. Kurayami finally walks in the portal to Dwarf Woodlands.
