Once upon a time, there was once a way to travel to the stars. Pony adventurers discovered a door that allowed them to travel to distant lands in the blink of an eye. Anypony could use it to travel to beautiful exotic lands. But the ponies soon encountered a darkness through these doors. It wormed its way into every heart it encountered, latching onto the darkness in every heart. Eventually two brave ponies managed to seal the connections between each world away, using powerful artifacts they had discovered throughout these worlds. For their heroic accomplishments, they became leaders of Equestria, wielding the lost power of the stars to safeguard their world in case the darkness ever invaded. Thousands of years passed, and ponies slowly forgot the terrors of the sinister forces who would destroy them, until they became a myth of times long ago. Unfortunately, other worlds soon forgot the terrors waiting on the other sides of these doors, and no single being could stand against the darkness without help. Their people would be slowly enveloped in darkness, leading to the annihilation of their world if left unchecked.
Princess Celestia awoke with a start. Her sleep had been interrupted by a terrifying sensation she had wished to never feel again. The feeling was familiar to her long ago, but she could not remember why it alarmed her now. Her eyes snapped open in the hopes of reminding herself she was still in her bedroom in Canterlot.
Pale moonlight spilled through the towering glass windows into her bedroom, but tonight that was not enough to assuage her fears. She scrambled for the light, leaving the comfort of her warm blankets, registering the cold sweat on her skin. She panicked before feeling her way to the switch beside her bed, not remembering the last time she had felt so apprehensive in the safety of her room.
As she flicked the lever, the room was bathed in a white light, driving the encroaching shadows away. Celestia's eyes darted around the illuminated room and let out a relieved sigh, assured that her nightmares were only that: a nightmare.
She scanned the room carefully, intent on forgetting her alarming dreams. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary, she thought as she pushed the covers off her sweaty body. Unable to pinpoint the reason for her distress, she slid her hooves down onto the floor, making loud clacking sounds on the tile floor. She froze in realization of what was different from when she had gone to sleep.
The window to the balcony is open, she thought, fixing her eyes on the inviting doors. A light wind pushed at the drapes, ruffling them in motions she might have mistaken for an enemy. She ignored the sense of apprehension she felt, and slowly made her way to the darkness waiting outside.
The light cast twisted shadows of her body as she walked between the lights and the opened window, carefully examining the area for unseen assailants. The cold wind pushed against her body, whispering into her ears as she came closer to the balcony, whistling a mad dangerous tune of warning.
As Celestia stepped through the window onto the balcony, she saw nothing out of the ordinary. She chided herself, thankful nopony had seen their princess frightened by the wind. Only she and Luna had a reason to fear the darkness in these peaceful times, and Luna had been more than happy to watch the night for her after coming back from the moon over seven years ago.
Impulsively, she looked out into the horizon, hoping to see Luna making her nightly rounds before she went back to bed. She would like to ask Luna if she had any dreams of the night terrors they had fought long ago.
She let out a strangled gasp as she caught a glimpse of the dark sky, feeling the strange sense of dread return to her as she gazed upon the heavens. She carefully examined the enveloping scene before her, dreading the implications of what had unknowingly began above Equestria. She ran back into her chambers, all sense of peace and security dispelled by the spectacle she had observed.
Celestia tore her desk apart in a rush, ignoring the creeping feeling that she was already too late. Using magic, she finally located a quill and some parchment, and set to work writing a letter. As she levitated the quill down onto the page, she heard a disturbance behind her. Whirling around, she prepared for battle against the dark enemy, but instead encountered a friend.
"Sister. I have grave news," Princess Luna announced.
She had landed on the balcony, not bothering to knock on the door. Her eyes darted around fearfully, staring into every shadow as if she were looking for something. She had a large bag resting on her back, and watched as Celestia turned away from her.
"I know, Luna. I saw the signs as well."
Celestia continued writing her letter, intent on finishing it before doing anything else. Luna patiently waited, listening to the quick strokes of the quill as her sister resumed writing. Unable to wait any longer, she slammed her hoof down on the floor, cracking the tile ground under the force she exerted.
"Then you know we have no time to lose!" Luna exclaimed as Celestia looked over her shoulder, unsurprised by her outburst.
"We have already run out of time, Luna," Celestia quietly answered her sister after the intruder had left. Turning toward her, she saw Luna's pack contained the symbol of the Six Elements of Harmony.
"Even these six Elements will not be enough for us to safeguard all of Equestria from the darkness."
"Too many have gone missing over the years. We will need to find more," she added as they heard a disturbance on the other side of the door to her chambers.
The doors to her room quickly burst open, revealing Shining Armor. He ran in, hearing the loud crashes Luna had been making since she had arrived. He slowed to a stop as he saw the supposed enemy was only Luna.
"Is everything alright, Princess?" He cautiously asked, seeing two looking at him. He noticed how angry Luna looked, and prepared for any possible attack from her. Celestia quickly rolled the letter up as she finished the message. She floated it towards Shining Armor, ignoring the feeling that it would not be enough.
"Yes. You must send this to Twilight Sparkle at once. She will know what to do."
"Also, double the guards around all large cities, and send half of our army from Canterlot to Ponyville until further notice."
She motioned for him to leave. Shining Armor quickly understood the implications of what she had told him.
"Of course. Will I need to put up a shield as well?" He asked, wondering what could be so powerful that they had to prepare for. There had been no major movements of hostile creatures for years.
Celestia shook her head no. It would barely slow down the darkness that was advancing on them from all sides, but it would not be a good idea to tell him that.
"Save your strength. You will know when that is necessary."
She had a sudden thought of Twilight Sparkle and her friends. She motioned for Luna to give her the chest containing the Elements of Harmony. Luna opened the clasp, allowing the Elements to escape the confines of her bag. As Celestia floated it towards the captain, she took the Elements of Generosity and Magic out from the confines of the box.
"Send these," she motioned to the two Elements floating in the air, "to Twilight Sparkle immediately."
"Bring the others to Princess Cadence, and tell her to keep them safe. She will know what to do with them."
Shining Armor quickly bowed, considering the remainder of forces he would be left with at his disposal.
"Of course, Princess. I will see to it right away."
As he left, Celestia turned to Luna, aware her questioning stare.
"What about our Elements?" She asked, already dreading the answer. Celestia understood her apprehension. They had grown to depend on them too much. To lose them for a period of time meant painful suffering for the both of them. She traced a hoof along the bright violet jewel on her necklace to reassure herself it was still there.
"We will need them for what is to come. I shall take the path in Ponyville..." Luna's eyes followed Celestia's hoof as it pointed downwards, already knowing what she would ask of her.
"And you shall take the path below. We must not stop for anything or anypony." She nodded to Luna before making her way to the balcony. She turned to give one last happy look towards her sister.
"Good Luck."
"Same to you, sister," Luna replied with a tear in her eye. She turned and ran towards the door, hoping they would accomplish their objectives and save Equestria once again.
Celestia felt that she had wasted too much time already. She stepped onto the ledge, pushed herself off and took flight beneath the bright moon.
Above her, the starry sky stretched endlessly. A careful observer would have seen that a large number of stars were fading, and if they watched carefully, they might have even seen one or two fade entirely out of existence.
Slowly, the stars were disappearing one by one, leaving the sky darker than it had ever been before.

I'll read this later, after I finish a chapter of my own. I shouldn't be browsing the interwebz while I'm supposed to be writing!
541478 Excellent, it worked!
I like it. No. I LOVE IT!!
What jay said.
So its safe to assume were entering a alternate universe here since Luna apparently came back 700 years ago yet the mane 6 and shining armor are still alive or did i miss something..........
you put spike in it. thank you
Cannot wait for the keyblade swinging, heartless smashing, magical pony awesomeness.
And like Gylden, just one more thing;
Please give us MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!
In all honesty if Sora Donald and Goofy aren't in here i wont continue reading
sorry
Spike's gona get a keyblade I just know it
Why aren't you including Pinkie, AJ, and Dashie?
541576
It has been 7 years, not seven hundred!
So expect everyone to make an appearance!
541821
The plan was to ponify it, so I haven't ruled out putting them in as minor characters our hero meets along the way.
Sorry if this isn't what you wanted exactly
543424 lol iv just been hopeful for a Kingdome hearts x over wiht sora but n luck so far
543185
They will definitely make appearances, I will alter the major characters shown several times as the story progresses. I would hate to spoil it for everypony!
541587
Great ideas! I reaaally wanted to mirror some of the characters on the original story, but you sure make this sound better
And expect worlds not from Disney as well, since I can do that
Welcome to any worlds you guys might want to show up as well, so don't hesitate!
543416 I swear it 700 hundred......... drugs.
To be fair on the Sora Goofy Donald front they have form changed before into lions so ponies defiently isn't out of the question
After getting all your feedback, it looks like you want the mane six to all have keyblades.
I thought it would make them too overpowered, but I think I know how to put that in.
Thinking outside the box means I can think inside a chimney!
There are two Disney villains I really want to see in this story. The first one is the character Scroop from Treasure Planet, one of few Disney villains who actually succeeded in killing one of the good guys before being defeated.
The second is an idea I had a few years ago: a beast created by combining the four main Titans from Hercules, the Rock Titan, Ice Titan, Lava Titan, and Tornado Titan. Give it the heads and torso of the Rock Titan, the legs of the Ice Titan, the arms of the Tornado Titan, and a volcano situated on its back to represent the Lava Titan.
more please, my good sir
543994
Ah! That was one of the worlds I was going to do! Forgot about the spider psycho though
545647
All good ones! I was thinking more of the classics. Mario will definitely be one, but more like Super 64 than Galaxy
Atlantis will be a perfect replacement for Little Mermaid too.
545847
Yeah, he's one of the characters I'm shocked wasn't in the real KH games. I mean, come on, he's a ten foot spider monster with claws for hands, that would have been an awesome boss battle.
Also, please tell me when they leave Equestria all six of them will be going. If nothing else, at least let Dashie come along. A KH/MLP crossover would just feel empty without Dashie coming along when they leave Equestria. If you don't have Dashie come with them, I'm gonna unwatch this.
WOW DA INTRO
now i got two kh story to look fowerd to thx man
ps any new keyblade holders or none
545647 halo world
541821i'm with ya man!!!!
