*The opening intro begins as a shadowy figure watches the sunrise over the horizon with a key-shaped weapon in her hands.*
*Boom goes the dynamite, Feels like I'm taking flight…*
*The sun rises high in the air as it dissolves the shadow surrounding the mysterious figure.*
*Alright, alright, alright…*
*The shadowy figure is revealed to be Kairi who stands on a cliff and awaits for the day to begin. As the sun rises, she flicks her hair a bit and smiles before jumping down to start the day as the current scene ends.*
*Everything is magical, Anything is possible…*
*A new scene shows Kairi and her pony friends fighting against the unknown black creatures known as the Heartless.*
*Alright, alright, alright…*
*A couple of Heartless appear behind Fluttershy before jumping in the air to attack them only for Twilight Sparkle to use her horn to blast them away.*
*Oooh! Feels so electric, Oooh! I'm gonna get it…*
*Rainbow Dash and Applejack both combine their skills and powers to take down as few Heartless – mainly Rainbow using her wings while Applejack her lasso.*
*Oooh! Feels so electric, Alright, alright, alright…*
*Rarity uses her horn on some of the creatures while Pinkie Pie pulled out her cannon to shoot some Heartless.*
*I am who I wanna be! Who, I wanna be! Who, I wanna be!*
*In the end, Kairi struck down the last of the creatures before staring at the moon at the night sky as the scene ended.*
*I am moving to the beat! Moving to the beat! Moving to the beat!*
*The next scene shows Midnight-Vanitas in her temporary hideout as she spies on Kairi and the ponies via a special kind of mirror projector.*
*I'm a strong individual, feelin' that power! I'm so original, you sing it louder!*
*Midnight-Vanitas turns off the projection before taking off her masked helmet just as the scene is completely shadowed and only her evil light purple eyes are shown before closing.*
*I am… Who, I wanna be! Who, I wanna be! Who, I wanna be… I am!*
*A new scene shows Kairi in casual clothes and Twilight Sparkle exploring the city of Manehatten while Midnight-Vanitas spies on them via a rooftop.*
*I'm a, I'm a go-getter, I'm on that trendsetter… Alright, alright, alright!*
*Smiling underneath her masked helmet, she looked away from them before staring at the big building in the far distance – The Public Mall. A trap was set for them over there as the scene ended.*
*See me in the headlines! I am one of a kind! Making' everything shine… Alright, alright!*
*The next scene shows Kairi and Twilight taking on the Heartless inside the Public Mall while Midnight-Vanitas awaits in the shadows to make her move.*
*I am who I wanna be, Who, I wanna be, Who, I wanna be!*
*Once the Heartless are all gone, Midnight comes out of the shadows to challenge Kairi and Twilight.*
*I am moving to the beat… Moving to the beat… Moving to the beat (oooh)!*
*Kairi and Midnight’s Keyblades clash together while Twilight charges her horn to attack the masked female from behind. As the intro song nears to an end, the scene dissolves.*
*I'm a strong individual, feelin' that power! I'm so original, you sing it louder!*
*The final scene shows Kairi and her pony friends getting ready to take a picture together with smiles on their faces. Photo Finish tells them to get into position before snapping the photo.*
*I am… Who, I wanna be… Who, I wanna be… Who, I wanna be…*
*The song reaches its end as the words: Embrace your Destiny! – appear in yellowish-white. Leaning on them is a confident and smiling Kairi with her Keyblade at the ready!*
*I AM!*
So… here is the question of the century: What made the ponies scream in fear and terror after that interview of ours had wrapped up? Try and guess!
No, it wasn’t a stampede of any kind or tall creatures from the forest.
Still haven’t figured it out yet? I’ll give you a hint – small, black-colored with yellow eyes…
That’s right! Those freaking black-colored ant creatures had returned with a vengeance, though we had no idea why they came back at that very moment.
That didn’t matter since we had to defend the town before the situation got worse. So far, there were no casualties, yet one should never assume that it’s a good thing until you get confirmation.
Beside, who knows if we may find-
Sensing a purple light behind me, I turned around to see that a couple of creatures in the air were disintegrated – no doubt they were planning on using a sneak attack via jumping. Turns out, Twilight was the one who eliminated them. Thanks a bunch, Twi! Still, you could be a little more careful with the beam. It was very close to me.
“Watch out, Kairi!” she warned me as I nodded with a cautious look. She looked ahead towards her own brand of enemies that were preparing to attack her.
Using a mixture of fire and ice spells, she blasted them away before turning to look at me. “I’m gonna head on to see if there are any casualties, but I’ll try my best to come back and help you! Just stay safe and don’t get yourself killed!” she warned.
I gave her a nod as I prepared to fight the creatures once more. “Got it! Stay safe as well, Twilight Sparkle! Don’t play the hardcore hero!” I warned her, but she didn’t answer and took off to search for casualties.
In the meantime, the creatures had surrounded me with no way to escape. With the Keyblade by my side, I wasn’t worried. Taking a look at the creatures, I made a note of what some of them looked like:
The knights and those body-suited creatures definitely creeped me out a bit – mainly their claws and swords. Gotta watch out for them. The ants, though… not so much scary.
The first ones were the body suited guys, yet I swatted them away with my weapon just as the small ants jumped onto my back. Panicking quickly, I shook my body in an attempt to get them off me.
“H-hey! Get off!” I demanded while continuing to shake them off. I managed to get two of them away, but one scratched the exposed part of my back.
I shook him off, then sliced him in half along with the other two small ant-like creatures. They all disintegrated into smoke as I breathed a sigh of relief for a little bit before turning my attention towards the knights who raised their swords to slash me only for my Keyblade to connect with their steel.
“Ugh… Nice… try!” I held back their steel swords with my Keyblade. They were increasing the pressure on their weapons, but I wasn’t backing down soon.
Little did I know, the creatures in bodysuits and helmets came back to attack me for that swatting a few seconds ago. Just as they jumped in the air though, they didn’t crash down onto my body to injure me – instead, a rainbow-colored speed demon slammed itself into the monsters and sent them a few feet away.
“You ain’t hurting anyone, ya punks!” the familiar voice of the cocky yet loyal Rainbow Dash warned as my eyes widened, still holding back the steel swords with all my strength.
“R-Rainbow!? What are you doing here!?” I demanded to know, my eyes now focused on her.
“Helping you out, duh! I’m the Element of Loyalty and I gotta protect my friends, even if they’re weird and not even 20 percent as cool as me,” she teased with a cocky tone while I just sent her a deadpan look.
Seriously…? We’re in the middle of a fight against a mysterious race of evil creatures and she takes the time to judge me!? Okay, what the hell…
“Okay, Rainbow… Is this really the time for this!? Right now, I’m trying my best to defend us all against creatures that want us dead and you are seriously going with this right now!?” I yelled, though she didn’t seem fazed by it.
“Oh, cool your jets, Kai… I’m just joking, so relax. Hey, I’ve got an idea on what we can do!” she told me, yet I remained unconvinced.
“Well… if you’ve got a plan, maybe you should - oh, I don’t know - APPLY IT RIGHT NOW BEFORE I- UGH!” Couldn’t finish my words due to the swords applying pressure on my Keyblade and attempting to slash me.
Rainbow apparently got the message and flipped her wings. “Okay, okay! I got you. Step back right now! I’ve got an attack that will take them out without any trouble!”
“Hope your plan is worth it!” I yelled back before jumping a few feet away and leaving Rainbow to do her attack. Flapping her wings, she flew around the knight-like monsters and began to form a small tornado, much to my surprise. Along the way, the bodysuit creatures got caught as well.
It wasn’t a big tornado, so there wasn’t much danger of any houses or ponies get caught in it. Still, I wondered how this would solve our problem with the creatures…
“Kairi! I’m gonna stop the tornado. The little creeps will no doubt be disoriented and crash on the ground! Then we can both take them out!” Rainbow called out.
That is, without a doubt, the… huh… actually, that’s not a bad idea. Though I do have to wonder how many will crash onto the ground.
“Alright, just make this attack count!” I told her, but I don’t know if she heard me or not.
Let’s hope this works. Rainbow Dash, don’t let me down!
As soon as Rainbow flew out of it, the tornado dispersed and the creatures crashed onto the ground, unable to continue to fight.
I’m actually impressed! Her plan literally worked! Now I can take them out quickly without any trouble.
Swish! One enemy goes down. Slash! Two more, including bodysuited ones. Stab! A couple more go down.
(Few seconds later, I had finished off the little creatures and released a sigh before I cringed in pain due to the open wound that was still there on my back – it was bleeding a little bit.)
Ugh, that hurts… I hope Twilight comes back soon cause I need a good healing spell on the double-
OUCH! Who in the hell hit me in the back!? Ugh, Rainbow… I should have known.
“Yahoo! Our plan worked! Good job, Kai!” she declared with a grin on her face. I just groaned in pain. “R-rainbow… not now… In case you haven’t noticed, there is an open wound on my back!” I yelled as her face morphed into confusion.
“Huh? A wound? What are you- Oh my gosh! Kairi, you are bleeding!” she stated shockingly while I looked at her with a ‘You’re seriously seeing this now!?’ face.
“Oh, boy… oh, boy… This is bad… Ummm… Wait, hold on! I’m going to go and fetch Twilight. Be right back!” she assured me before flying away.
Ugh, my back hurts… I hope Rainbow returns quickly...
At least I’m not being assaulted by the creatures anym-
Just as I thought these words, more of the monsters showed up out of nowhere. Knights, ant-like creatures, and bodysuits - ugh, goddamn it!
No time to waste now! I got back into a fighting pose and prepared for yet another fight which began with the bodysuits jumping in the air. Unlucky for them, I sliced them in half as they disintegrated into smoke immediately.
Unfortunately, some of the ants scratched different parts of my body and more open wounds appeared – I felt the pain… OUCH! Shaking the little buggers off, I took care of them quickly before returning to focusing on the knights.
Managing to block a sword that came crashing down was the good news. Bad news was that another knight assaulted me from behind. It left me a huge open scar and most of my back outfit ripped open.
Dodging out of the way quickly, I attacked one of the knights and immediately destroyed it while another knight charged forward to slash me yet again. Moving sideways before it could strike, I used my Keyblade to slice it in half.
The second round was quickly over, yet my body was feeling heavy over the blood loss. I was looking like a real mess, but wasn’t tired just yet.
Ugh… can’t… stand… Goddamn it… Gotta stay awake…
I fell to my knees and used my Keyblade to support myself. I can’t lose now… I just hope that no more creatures show up… I don’t know how much longer I can-
To prove that God was being an ass to me, more of the monsters showed up. Here we go again!
A third round begun with me slashing and stabbing all of my targets. Bodysuited guys fell easily while the shadows were a little tricky, as they sunk into the ground and appeared behind me. The knights were also complicated due to them moving around a lot.
Unfortunately, I didn’t escape from this fight unscathed. Got some more injuries, though I was able to defeat the creatures.
Ugh… everything hurts so bad. Most of my outfit is ripped up and my hair is a complete mess. Blood all around me… vision getting blurry… Wonder how long I’ve got before I pass out… Ugh…
Gotta stay awake… gotta stay awake… can’t lose consciousness yet… ugh… gotta stay… just until Twilight comes, and then-
*WHAM!*
O-ouch… My mouth… ugh… Can’t stay… awake anymore… W-who punched my mouth… ugh… Vision is getting blurry… W-who is that… What’s with the visor and suit…?
“Pleasant dreams, Kairi.” The mysterious person spoke these words with a chuckle as it became really hard to see.
Ugh… gotta… stay… awak- Ugh… damn it.
(Unknown time/Unknown location…)
Ugh, my head… Where am I? My senses are coming to… I can feel my eyelids opening…
A black void of some kind? Where am I, exactly? Is this the Death Realm or something? Oh, fuck… Don’t tell me I’m dead already…
“Twilight, Rainbow! Please tell me I’m not dead! I can’t die yet. I haven’t even lived yet!” I called out to someone . No one responded.
With a sigh released, I stood up and look around even though it was just a black void. Nobody around. Nothing.
“This is the worst…” I sighed.
“Oh, it’s about to get much worse for you, sister.” I froze in surprise as a voice responded to me. W-what? Who was that?
Turning around, my eyes widened in surprise. Another human! What’s with the weird getup and the visor covering the face, though?
“Who are you…?” I inquired as the figure released a small chuckle. From the sounds of it, they were female.
“Oh, someone that knows you quite well, Kairi. It’s a pleasure to finally meet you face to face,” she declared while bowing in a mocking pose.
Huh? She knows me…? But I’ve never met people like her before – especially wearing a darkish purple-red bodysuit and a biker-like helmet.
“What do you mean, ‘you know me quite well’? I’ve never seen someone like you before,” I replied as she chuckled yet again.
“Oh, you might think that, but the truth is far more than meets the eye. Oh, dear Kairi… I know you quite well – who you really are, what you are, the Keyblade that you wield… everything.” I had enough.
“Alright! Enough is enough! Who the hell are you and how do you know so much about me!?” I shouted, but she simply laughed and took out her right hand.
What happened was a surprise. As if by magic, a Keyblade appeared in her hands. Its blade was a complete crystal while the teeth was a pink half-star. The handle was colored pink while and it bared two dark wings. Lastly, the Keychain resembled a six-point pink star.
“A Keyblade!?” I said in surprise.
“Indeed. You aren’t the only one to wield the legendary weapon,” she said.
I stood surprised for another couple of seconds before my face morphed into determination. Summoning my Keyblade, I got into a fighting pose. For some reason, it seemed to amuse the mysterious girl.
“Tell me where you got the Keyblade!” I demanded. She giggled. “Good... Very good. Now, let’s see what you’re made of, Princess!” She prepared for a fight as well.
I don’t know who she is, what her purpose is, or why she wields the Keyblade, but I’m not gonna let this mysterious figure take me down! Time to show this little bitch what I’m made off!
Alright, you punk…
Get ready to dance!
