Kingdom Hearts Fan Fiction ❯ Discord ❯ Chapter III: Something's Gone wrong ( Chapter 3 )

[ T - Teen: Not suitable for readers under 13 ]
Hanging in the sky was the moon, though it was eerily shaped like a heart. Kingdom hearts, the world of light and also of ultimate darkness. Next to a giant door that connects to this world of infinite power was a giant machine. A giant machine with many wires and parts, so complex that even the man who was suppose to activate it himself didn't know completely how it worked. A wire made of pure light, and one made of pure darkness connected from the machine, and trailed into the great door like ghosts.

"Oh sure, just press the button when we give you the signal." Kai muttered to himself, writing down some final jot notes. This was the moment the Empire has been working towards for years. All that research finally led to this moment.

He suddenly jolted as someone appeared behind him. Turning around, he could see the dark portal, swirling with purple and dark energy, like tendrils of mist. It was the same portals that members of organization XIII used. Standing in the middle of the dark aura was what looked like a 7-year-old girl. She had deep black eyes, and she was adorned in a black cloak. Odd, Kai thought. Kenlaux rarely ever wore black.

"The superiors are ready." It was chilling to hear Kenlaux speak. She looked like an innocent 7-year-old girl, but her voice held no emotion, her eyes betrayed no love or compassion. She never showed care or worry for anyone. It was because she didn't have a heart. A nobody, as they were called, the shell left behind when the heart is stolen. Nobody really knew how the girl lost her heart, and she certainly doesn't remember if she's telling the truth.

Kai cursed under his breath. Why did they choose him to do this? They knew that anyone, even shy Hikari would be better for the job. Everyone knew he was always a nervous wreck, and being the nervous wreck, he always messes everything up. He walked with a slight limp- a souvenir of a particularly vicious heartless attack- so he was useless in battle.

"I'm ready." He replied.

Get over it, you're just pushing buttons. He growled at himself as Kenlaux disappeared. But it was very important buttons, buttons that could make things go horribly wrong at the slightest miscalculation or typo. Going over to the keyboard on the machine, he began to type in commands. He set up everything, activating the system which the Empire had worked to program down to every last bit.

A screen popped up in mid air, with the words:

"Proceed?"

Kai typed enter.

"Confirm?"

Enter.

You should be wondering what Kai was doing. Well, let me explain. He is part of an organization of scientists who calls themselves the empire. They were inspired by the works of Ansem the Wise, and they were now a big group, studying everything from the heart, heartless, kingdom hearts, nobodies, the keyblade, to the worlds, synthesis, and magic. When the Organization XIII was still whole, when Roxas was still a nobody searching for the truth behind his existence, they were rivals to the Empire. No armed conflict had occurred between the two groups -for the Empire was far more powerful in numbers- but they had argued over theories of Kingdom Hearts. The organization believed that Kingdom Hearts would make them whole again. The Empire didn't. Other then a some back-pointing and snickering, nothing much had occurred between the two groups before the downfall of Organization XIII.

The Empire's main goal is to create artificial keyblades. Their studies found that the keyblade doesn't choose it's master, as how it was told since the dawn of time, but rather, everyone had a keyblade locked within one's heart. It was always incomplete, and dormant until the right conditions are met. The condition is that the heart must be pure, and the one with the Keyblade must be in need of it. For instance, if they are attacked by heartless.

The Empire's found a way to trick the keyblade's within one's heart to emerge without having to meet the criteria. If one's heart is exposed to the power of kingdom heart, it is tricked to believe that the heart is pure, as pure is the power of kingdom hearts. Then, send the host of the keyblade into the midst of heartless, and you've got yourself a keyblade. The machine's purpose is to extract some power from Kingdom hearts, and implant it within a heart.

As the machine rattled, something horribly wrong happened. A part of the machine exploded into flames, the the cable of light connecting Kingdom hearts to the machine started to shine brightly. Kai gasped as the door started to slide open, letting out it's radiant power.

"No!" Kai rushed to go shut down the machine, but it was too late. The whole area was bathed in light, and rays of Kingdom heart's power coursed throughout the worlds.

Kai was never seen again, but he wasn't the only thing the world has to worry about...

"If it's broken, fix it. If you can't fix it, duct it. If you can't duct it...then you're screwed. "-Anonymous
