At the moment, there is no spot available so the only people posting are the ones with roles.

Make sure to press the FOLLOW TOPIC button on the TOP RIGHT CORNER OF THIS POST.

Anything not part of the story line should be PARENTHESIZED.

READ YOUR CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS, IT IS IMPORTANT TO THE STORY. DON'T STRAY FROM THEIR BASIC CHARACTERISTICS UNLESS YOU TELL ME.

Characters:

Sky Heart:
Hoshi - Main character of the story.  She is stubborn, strong-hearted, and unyielding.  15.  She is royalty.  As part of a long line of Keyblade Wielders, she is destined to receive hers before she's 16.  (Not Masters, keep that in mind.  Although all her ancestors have been Keyblade Wielders they have never become Masters.)

Her name is 'Star' in Japanese. similar to Sora and Ventus.  Sky = Wind = Star. (Their names are all things that connect things/people around them.)
 
Yami - A mysterious person who has strange powers of darkness. He shows up after the 3 protagonists set off on their own journey. He seems different, but comes off as a threat to everyone.

His name is 'Dark' in Japanese. For obvious reasons, he is an antagonist.

Yuffie Kirasagi:
Sekai - She is nice, loving, gentle, and very understanding. Although she may look lost, she is wise beyond her years. 14. She comes from the 'slums' of the Kingdom of the Sky.

Her name is 'World' in Japanese. Similar to Riku and Terra. Land = Earth = World. (All suffer from the pain of Separation.)

Xatah:
Uchuu or Chu (Your Preference) - He is weird, kind, understanding, loyal, and curious. He mysteriously arrives to 'Kingdom of the Sky' the world where Sekai and Hoshi hail from. 15.

His name is 'Space' in Japanese. Similar to Kairi and Aqua. Ocean = Water = Space. (All are the cause of Separation.)

Ven4ever:
Hikari - She is the second antagonist and is sort of the right hand woman to Yami. She practically does what he wishes, but often disappears to god knows where.

Her name is 'Light' in Japanese. Being the physical embodiment of the True Light that was lost when Darkness swallowed it. She has forgotten who she really is.

Yugure - A laid-back Knight of Ascension who always opposes Kage just to make him irritated. He is just as strong as Kage and this infuriates the latter. He is kind, gentle and a comedian to the other Knights.

His name is 'Twilight' in Japanese.

Iamkingdomhearts1000:
Kage - The leader of the Knights of Ascension. He is loyal to Yami, but very hot-headed. (He goes rogue later on.)

His name is 'Shadow' in Japanese.

Worlds:(So Far we need 2 more worlds: Either New/Old Disney, Original, or already used worlds.)
1. Kingdom of the Sky - Just like the name says, it is a Kingdom in the Sky, where all it's royalty knows how to wield a Keyblade. Everyone else are either upper class, who live with in the Castle or the Lower Class, who live in the 'slums.' (In honor of the main character of the series: Sora, I thought the name was proper for the story.)

At the moment we don't have an order on the worlds, but have some down:
- Ancestral River: Pocahontas
- Gleaming Kingdom: Tangled
- The Axiom/The World of Miscellaneous: Wall-E (This will have to involve some sort of time travel to include this story.)
- Toy Chest: Toy Story
- Monstropolis: Monster's Inc
- Paradise Falls: UP
- Scavenger's Hideout/Treasure Planet: Treasure Planet (These are two planets near each other since the story involves looking for Treasure Planet)
- Vibrant Castle (Disney Castle): With Oswald as king.  I'm gonna put my own spin on why it's called Disney Castle and how Mickey becomes king. I think you guys will like it.
- City of Skyscrapers/The Ruins: Original World.  The middle world of the story and also the ending world after the skyscrapers are destroyed.

Posted Image


- Isolate Islands (Destiny Islands): Two Islands separated by the water.  One island has a town and the other has never been visited before.


Themes of the Story:
- Friendship
- Perseverance
- Romance
- Change
- Misunderstandings

Enemies: (All are the colors of white, light green, yellow, and/or pink. They look harmless, but are a danger.)

Forsaken - Creatures born out of desires that have been rid of or denied. The desires go haywire and form these creatures who yearn to be whole again. They look for other small desires to take from other living things.

>>>>Ascender - Special Forsaken that only appear as 'bosses' to the story.  They have the power to take one's ability to grow if they pass through your heart. Most have no feet and look like ghosts.  The only way to retrieve the 'ability to grow' is to destroy the one who took it.

>>>>>>>> Knights of Ascension - Are 5 Ascenders that have taken over Human Bodies, Yami and Light. So there are 7. They are all incredibly strong. Two of them are Yugure and Kage.

>>>>Descender - A Higher Class of Forsaken that can temporarily drain strength, magic, etc by slashing you with their weapon. All of these Forsaken have weapons, but they rarely draw them because they lack the capacity to comprehend their powers. Most of their attacks are jumping-based and requires downward movement.

Premise of the Story:
Hoshi is a 15 year old girl. In one month, it will be her birthday, but she has yet to produce any evidence she can wield a Keyblade. She becomes worried and starts to explore her Kingdom trying to find a way to wield a Keyblade. While this is happening, Sekai, a girl of the lower class has been struggling to keep up with her school work and drops out, after the complications just a year before she decides it's best to take care of her brothers and sisters (No names needed, they will disappear later and that will be her driving force to leave the world). Hoshi meets a boy named Chu. He is a 'foreigner' and is part of the Upper Class. He tells her if she can not produce a Keyblade by her 16th birthday, she will be forced to marry him. She doesn't believe him and runs to her father. Her father, the King confirms this (This will be her driving force to leave, while Chu's driving force is to chase after her to bring her back). Chu informs her that he can wield the Keyblade and shows her himself. She is surprised. He tells her because he can wield the Keyblade it would be perfect for them to marry since they can breed more Keyblade wielders, which came off as disgusting to her. He was only thinking logically.
And so the story begins..


We won't start until everyone confirms their character. Just post your character name and type 'no complaints' if you're ready. Also I'm assuming you read everything on this. It's crucial you do.

Keep in mind:

- Explain the origin of the Paopu Fruit.
- What exactly does it do.
- How it became well-known enough for Aqua to know about it.
- Why it matters to the story of Kingdom Hearts.
- How Destiny Islands got it's name.
(If you think there should be more just tell me.)

She smiled and for the rest of the night, everything was like a dream come true. Hoshi bought drinks for everyone and Mr. Toyota was happy to see not only his favorite customer happy, but all the customers he was receiving from the buzz. He remembered that he had fixed the hilt and wanted to give it back to them. He gave it back as a set with another previously broken hilt to Sekai. He turned them into Finger-less gloves connected to rectangular fist guards with a bar (the hilt), that normally would lay on one's arms. They were activated by pushing one's fist forward, thus moving the guards forward.

"They're Civils", Mr. Toyota said. "These are very unique weapons or I should say weapon because they work as one. I, myself only know a few of it's abilities. I believe it grows as the person using it grows. I've tried them out and I felt so young again, punching straight through a wall. I know you wanted a sword fixed, but I thought this could be much more useful. The technology is very similar to the Royal Wings the Palace Guardians use."

 

Then suddenly.... The doors open swiftly as they are busted down. "Princess, we have found your friend's siblings, we request she comes with us immediately!"

"That's great!", Hoshi said. "Go ahead Sekai! I know you're dying to see them!" She smiled. "Bring them to the Castle tomorrow for the wedding if they want to come also."

 

(I gave you a little room here, Yuffie. You can play catch up and not be affected by the storyline between Hoshi and Uchuu at the moment.)

 

Uchuu and Hoshi left and went back to the castle.

Sekai smiled. Apparently everything was going her way that night. Hoshi and Chu were getting very friendly, she had gotten some really cool gloves, and her sisters had been found. Tomorrow she would go over to the wedding. "Lead me to them." Sekai said extremely happily. They lead her to her house. She went inside and once again repeated her greeting, "I'm home!" and what greeted her this time instead of mere silence was a stampede of little children. They ran into Sekai's arms and Sekai hugged them only to feel a distinct absence. She let them down and quickly counted them. "There's three missing." Sekai said flatly.

"Oh, that's a real shame." all of the guardians said in unison, obviously not caring about Sekai. Sekai's anger boiled inside of her. How could they? She thought. They began to walk out the door.Sekai lost her head for a moment, and punched one in the head with her new gloves. The head came clean off, but with no blood or flesh.

"Well I guess our cover's blown." One of the guardians said, and all of them began to transform, along with her "siblings".

  • Author

The guardians and "siblings" turned into Descenders, that were specifically modified by Kiro.

"Well, you can't hurt us, see?", the lead guardian said. "What if some of us are your siblings? We were made from the minds of real people and if you destroy us, you destroy those people. And plus, we can answer some questions of yours. Now, calmly act as if you never saw what happened and go to sleep. If you do as we say, we can promise your siblings won't get hurt."

They showed her the Corridor of Darkness, as the children lied in bed asleep. They looked so peaceful. One of Descenders happened to be very kiddy and playful. Maybe this was one of her siblings.

They walked past the gates and were now walking across the large garden in front of the castle. Everything had just happened so fast, it was only a few hours ago when he was having his usual coffee at The Sky Cafe , then suddenly, the news about the wedding, Hoshi showing up with Sekai, telling him she loves him and kissed him and he told her he loved her too. It was his honest opinion, but somehow it all happened faster than he could think. Now he thought about how the day before was his last normal day in the Kingdom of Sky because after today everything had changed.

It was the next day for Hoshi. It was 7 AM. Usually at this time she would be still in her bed, but she was already up. She got up at 6 and took a jog. Afterwards she took a nice hot shower and got out her mom's wedding dress. "Mom, I'm gonna make you proud today!", she said aloud. She was sincerely excited for the whole wedding. She hung up the wedding dress and took a stroll around the garden. "I wonder where Uchuu and Sekai are? It's only a couple hours until the wedding." She sat down near the pond filled with coy fish. She looked at them. It was calm and serene. "Ooh! I can't help it. I'm too excited!", she said as she ran back to her room to try on the wedding dress.

Kage, while still wearing the black coat and still in Radiant Garden, decided to go exploring around, deciding that simply just waiting and seeing if there are any good canidates to wield the Keyblade and then approach them after seeing them, would be like keeping the mission he was given by his master Yami on hold and so, while looking around the city's parts, did Kage find himself in front of the Garden's huge castle, that was still currently in construction by this time and had a comment about the Garden's castle by saying "Well,well,well.....what do you know? a big and wide building that's still being made.....hmm.....perhaps master Yami would consider making this place his new headquarters one day." said Kage.

Hikari

She turned her head to face Kiro coming out of the elevator. "Not so sure," she said smoothly, taking a look at the Ascender she brought. "So, what have you brought to Lord Yami, Kiro?," she asked making sure he completed his mission.

 

Yugure

He used the Corridor of Darkness to teleport to Radiant Gardesns. He often visits here just to ditch Lord Yami's requested missions. "Still a strange place," he muttered to himself, looking at the enormous castle in progress. He ignored it and walked around, examining everything he saw on his way.

Sekai could only stumble off to bed with all the questions in her head. Those things were right, killing them might mean killing her siblings. So she flopped onto the couch and went to sleep. She woke up in the morning to find that the creatures were gone. "Okay, at least they're gone for now." Sekai said. "Oh right! Hoshi's wedding! I need to get over there really quickly." Sekai went into her bathroom and took a nice hot shower. Very relaxing after the days of training and the events of yesterday. She groomed herself better than she had ever before in her life. She found her most attractive dress, decided it wasn't attractive enough and looked in her mother's closet. All of them had beer stains on them. "Yeah, not taking any of those..." Sekai muttered, and put on the first dress, before heading for the castle.

"I got those 2 world pieces or whatever they're called. But we should really start bonding these two together

(Sorry for the late reply guys, trying to beat MF with Terra without Surge spam lol. It's such a fail.)

 

Hoshi finally got back to her room to try on the wedding dress. "I look perfect!", she said. She put on a necklace that had a star pendant and a metal rabbit head attached to it. It was the necklace her mom gave her before she disappeared.

"I'll never forget this, my mom's precious necklace. She loved it, it was her good luck charm", she said. "When she gave to me as my ninth birthday present, I nearly screamed... and then she died", she perkily said, almost not even caring about her mother's death.

"I have thirty more minutes!", she said very loudly. "And as a princess, I am never late!"

She walked out of her room with the wedding dress, and to the back of the castle where the wedding was going to happen. All her princess training was about to pay off. Her back was straight, head held high, hair tide slightly down in the back, and her blonde streak curling to the front. She was getting married today, and that was that.

Sekai finally reached the back of the castle and searched for Hoshi. She spotted her, looking very formal. "Hey, Hoshi! I made it!" Sekai said, walking over to her.

  • Author

"Hey!", she said. "I know it's last noticed, but can you be my bridesmaid? I really think of you as my best friend. You still haven't asked for anything." Hoshi handed Sekai all her school work for the past week. "You said you wanted me to do your school work, but you've been like a sister to me. School work could never be a better gift than family." Hoshi hugged Sekai.

Uchuu and Mr.Toyota walked towards the large garden at the back of the castle. Walking towards his wedding in a black suit given to him by Mr.Toyota. Uchuu stretched one of his sleeves a little."How did you fit into this thing?",he asked Mr.Toyota.

He chuckled,"Well when I wore it I was a bit smaller than you are". Mr.Toyota was like a godfather to Uchuu, even though they only ever met at his coffee shop-after which he would go on his "SCRA business",as he liked to call it- and Uchuu still had to pay for his coffee, he was the closest thing Uchuu had here, even closer than Hoshi, though that would certainly change as he approached the large garden.

Yami was sitting in the crowd, waiting for the groom to arrive for the ceremony to begin. There were 7 "Guardians", patrolling the perimeter. Yami's 6 guests were 4 very High Class Men and Women, and Tenpo and Mita, another knight, both who have yet to shnow up.

'Where is Tenpo and Mita? I'm pretty sure you two are ruining my reputation.'Now with 10 pieces, he was able to communicate with anything he wanted to as long as he has touched it. Therefore Tenpo's and Mita's armor.

"But I don't know what to do!" Sekai complained. "I don't know how to do something formal like this." Sekaiwas gesturing from Hoshi's dress and hers. "You know, there is a difference."

 

"I don't know what you're talking about." Mita communicated to Yami. Mita walked through the crowd towards Yami. "What do you want?" Mita said to Yami, sort of annoyed.

Edited by Yuffie Kisaragi

Tenpo sat by the waterfall, the castle was completely empty from the inside so nobody noticed him. He was wondering whether he should go."It's just a stupid wedding, probably going to bore me out of my skull, but I guess I have to go". Then suddenly master Yami's message came into his head "'Where is Tenpo and Mita? I'm pretty sure you two are ruining my reputation."

"Alright, fine I'm on my way boss",Tenpo assured him and began to walk towards the backyard garden

  • Author

Yami

As Tenpo barely arrived, the ceremony began. Yami planned to just go to witness the final bits of his plan to occur. Uchuu had also just arrived. Yami forcefully de-armored Tenpo and Mita as they got there. "Mita, quiet and sit down."

 

Hoshi

The music began to play as Hoshi walked down the aisle with her dad. The wedding vows were said and the only thing left was for Hoshi to answer her question, "Hoshi, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband? To love and to cherish until death, do you part?"

"I d-" 'Hoshi, don't listen to them', a mysterious voice said. "Father, is that you?', Hoshi asked.'You aren't who they say you are. Snap out of it. It's time for you to wake up.'

I do not!", she said, there was a shock in everyone's face. Even the one facing her, "I love you, Chu but we can't do it like this!"

 

Yami Again

"WHAT?", Yami said aloud, losing his cool for two seconds. The body he was controlling suddenly splits out of him, leaving him as an entity.

"Yami, I can't let you do this."

"Mayil... you've returned... old master."

"Hoshi, take this!" He threw her the sword she left on top of her bed this morning. "Yami, you belong to me. Plrease come back!"

"You idiot. You've ruined my plans. Why would I ever return to an idiot master like you." Yami's mellowness started to boil down into pure hatred.

"I am sorry. I've raised you out of pure darkness, Yami. As my Keyblade, return to me at once, Lord Yami!" Yami began to glow

 

King Nihil and Hoshi

As this was all happening, he just stood there. "Hoshi, as my daughter you shall marry this man!"

"I don't understand, you told me not to!", she said.

"Hoshi, as my daughter, you shall marry this man!", he repeated.

"What's going on?"

"Hoshi, as my daughter, you shall marry this man!" And she realized it.

"You aren't my dad! Are you?!?", she said. The daze in eyes confirmed it. She drew the sword and prepared to fight, even though she was in a wedding dress, she would fight anyways.

 

(Long post sorry, 3 different characters ughhhh)

Edited by Sky Heart

Uchuu had no idea what was going on, "This isn't her father!?He must be possessed or something",he thought. After Hoshi drew her sword he summoned his keyblade, if she was going to fight, he would join her.He stood there with keyblade in hand, stretchy tuxedo feeling tight all around his body, just waiting for one move that would start off his second most confusing day in a row-though he had been in 'quick-thinking' situations before and knew how to handle them. The one thing which worried him more than the current events happening around him was the fear that his clothes could rip. Yes, of all the the things that were happening, Uchuu's greatest fear was that the extremely tight tuxedo he was wearing could rip.

 

Tenpo was suddenly alert. Mayil was pulling Lord Yami to himself. He thought about disappearing from the scene if things went out of hand, but something immediately caught his eye. Far ahead on the isle, Uchuu summoned his keyblade and waited for any further action. Tenpo paid no attention to what else was happening, that keyblade was the only thing his attention was fixed on.

"Idiots, don't let the princess get away!", Yami said to the two knights. The four Descenders quickly transformed along with the Guardians.

"Alright, everyone stay calm. As long as you stay quiet and you don't get in our way, we can promise your safety", one of the "Guardians" said.

"My own Guardians?", Hoshi asked, completely surprised. "What's going on?!?", she yelled at the sky. "Don't you worry, Yami", she said, clearly paying attention to their conversation, "I'm not running away. This ends now!" She ran up to him and dealt a slash that passed through him.

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!", laughing dryly. The blow did not affect him at all. "It looks like the plan wasn't a complete loss after all." He blasted out darkness around him of a one foot radius. "I don't need you're body anymore... but I do need your powers, hand them over to me old man."

 

Yami and Mayil began to fight, one pure of light and the other pure of darkness. "Without your powers, I can't be complete!", Yami said. He quickly moved towards Mita as her two world pieces went inside him.

"That makes 12." Yami blasted Dark Firaga, landing on the grass and surrounding them with dark flames, as the guests were being moved out by the Descenders.

'If they're the bad guys, why are they letting those innocent people get away?', Hoshi thought.

"What are you doing? Don't let the hostages get away!", Yami said to the Descenders. The Descenders halted their evacuation process.

'Oh no, I have to make sure everyone gets out of here alive!' She ran towards him and put her hands to the side dropping the sword. "Take me! But let these innocent people go!", Hoshi said.

"Idiot!", he said wacking her with his hand. "You're in no position to make negotiations. You aren't even the princess we want... or any princess for that matter", he said, as she planted her foot on the ground causing her to stop.

"What?", Hoshi said. "I am a princess, I'm princess Hosh-"

"She's the princess!", Yami yelled pointing at the girl standing near Uchuu. "Princess Sekai, daughter of my former Master."

Everyone who was left all looked over to Mayil Rod. Was this really true?

 

(Sorry again for this long post 3 people and all and the climactic part.)

Edited by Sky Heart

Uchuu was running towards Hoshi to help out."How dare he hit her", Uchuu thought and then heard Yami yell,"She's the princess". Uchuu stopped and turned towards Sekai in surprise. "She's the princess?Hey what the hell are you talking about?",he yelled at Yami.

 

Tenpo stood far from Hoshi, Uchuu and Yami. Interfering at this moment could completely distract Uchuu and might even bring up a reaction from him which would have a bad effect on the plans. Yami always put up with his laziness, but causing damage to the plan was something he would never tolerate.

"Sure hand them in to Lord Yami, I got business to take care of," she said to Kiro. She opened the Corridor of Darkness and left Kiro in the dim lit room with the Ascender she has brought from Radiant Gardens. She dissapears in the shadows, so no one can find her for now.

(I think we'll wait for Yuffie for the Wedding Story, haha after all she is Sekai. But I wanna introduce more mysteries sooooo)

 

The real Yami went to an unknown island and just across the sea, there was another. This Yami seemed to be still mellow. What was causing him to stay like this, while his "clone" went on a rampage? As he walked through the clearly abandoned island, he saw something quite interesting in a cave. "What a peculiar door, this is." With his new powers, he tried to walk through it, but ended up just walking straight onto the door. "Ahh, I guess my powers can't protect me from this door." He shot a dark volley at it, but it ended up volleying him instead. "I'll make note of this door, whatever's behind it, must be very important. He left the cave as he saw something very peculiar. There was a corridor of darkness open near the tree filled with star-shaped fruits. He decided to check it out and tried to go in, but only passed through it. "This island is very strange. Hmmm, maybe I should try something else." He summoned his Keyblade and pointed it at the corridor. A beam of dark-light came shot out and keyhole appeared. "Interesting, I didn't know Keyblade Wielders had this power." He split into two, but without any body to leech powers from, he had to split the world pieces equally to maintain the 'clone'. The ''clone' got on his glider and went in the darkness. "What a very interesting day. Ugh, what? My hold on- no!"

Edited by Sky Heart

(Seriously? You give me so much to catch up on! I don't even know what to write...)

 

Sekai was being increasingly confused. First, Hoshi didn't marry Chu, then Yami and Mayil split and started fighting, finally she was being accused of being the princess. "What! I'm no princess! I'm just a girl from the slums." Sekai yelled back at Yami.

  • Author

(Sorry!)

 

"Agh, it looks like splitting the world pieces was a bad idea", Yami said, as he start. "I'll be taking over the boy's body now, Mayil", he said as he went inside Mayil.

"Ugh! Hoshi take your friends and run", Mayil said as he began withdrew from the body.

"No! I'm tired of all of this", she said as she struck Yami, actually touching him this time and blasting him a couple feet.

"Ughhh, damn it", Yami said as he started to fade away. Mayil went back into the body. "Idiot, Mayil, don't you recognize this body? It's you when you were younger."

"What? It can't be."

"This was the first time you accepted me and rejected your appearance. So when you lost control, the appearance came back, but it's too late. I'm locking this body from both of us. Without your real body, you'll fade away, leaving an opportunity for my plans." Yami surged through the body, as he and Mayil fell into the darkness, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

After Yami and Mayil fell into the darkness, Tenpo felt he did not need to stay any more."Well I'm outta here",he told Mita as he opened a corridor of darkness and walked into it.

 

Out of the corner of his eye Uchuu saw someone leave through a corridor of darkness,though he did not get a clear view. Uchuu decided to take advantage of the confusion that was everywhere and attack the descenders.
