Early Days, Prologue: Finding the Key
In my years of research over the heart, I have found one disturbing fact. There is darkness in every heart. No matter how much light is within each heart, no matter how pure, there is still darkness. Why? Why is it there? Why does darkness spawn the way it does? Why does it affect ponies so? I have spent year after year, searching for this answer, but still nothing. The very result is nothing more than a revelation. The revelation is this: one can not stop the darkness within, but must accept it. Yet, if you do, the darkness will corrupt you. So, is the darkness necessarily bad? Is it something more? Is it-
"Augh!" Celestia yelled as a magic aura surrounding the scroll caused it to close. "Enough! Blasted Starswirl..." she muttered to herself as she levitated the scroll onto a shelf, her hooves rubbing her face in despair. "Why are you so vague with everything you write?!"
Celestia let out a huff as she exited her private study. She had spent the last few hours looking over several old reports Starswirl the Bearded had once wrote. For years, the princess had looked over the many documents and books the wizard had wrote, but only a few reports he made had ever truly caught her eye. Granted, she was glad for the amount of knowledge the unicorn had given Equestria. However, it was his last reports that had always intrigued her. Unlike the rest of his writings, his last few reports were written on several small scrolls instead of his usual novelistic style writings. There, he detailed several encounters he had with what he called 'The Darkness and the Light'. What followed was what Celestia considered to be the most vaguest writings ever created. She looked at another scroll, her eyes shifting through the words.
My research has found something new. I believe the Light can respond to something called, 'The Key'. This 'Key' can change the very nature of both light and darkness. I find this to be odd, especially since 'The Key' seems to respond to the light more than darkness. Because of this, I believe that Equestria's future may have a need for this 'Key'.
-Starswirl, Report 5
"'The Key', hmm..." Celestia closed another scroll. "I wonder if it'll ever appear? No matter how much I've looked for it over the years, I've came up with nothing. Well, except for that former bearer...though, she still won't tell me anything." she hung her head as she stared at the floor. "And I was so sure Sunset Shimmer could've been a bearer of 'The Key'..." Celestia placed the scroll back on the shelf as she stopped staring at the floor. She paced around her room in a thinking pose before glancing at a large tapestry. There, it showed a mighty battle between two alicorns, their white and black figures clashing over the skies of Equestria. I keep getting stuck in the past recently. Maybe I need a vacation. That or some cake and coffee...
Despite her disgruntled yet depressed attitude, Celestia knew that she should take whatever Starswirl wrote very seriously. She knew that the unicorn had knowledge beyond even her at times. "I'll never understand some of those scrolls." she said to herself as she walked to her throne. As she sat down, she cricked her neck and let out a sigh. Concentrate on the present Celestia. That's what's important right now. Let's see...today was the beginning of the next semester tests for my school. I hope there is some good candidates today, the last batch definitely wasn't the best. Then again, nopony in the last few hundred years have been able to compare to Sunset Shimmer in terms of talent. I just hope the judges aren't too harsh... a yawn escaped her breath as she tried to think of something more positive. Hmmm...I could go for some cake right now. Perhaps a double layered-
"Good morning your highness." her secretary said as she entered the throne room. "I have some documents for you to sign."
Celestia stopped her cake filled fantasies and replied to her assistant. "Very well. Just make sure-"
Before Celestia could complete her sentence, a sound clipped through the sky like a thousand shotgun blasts. A resounding BOOM! blasted through the throne room, shaking the pillars of the castle. The rumbling shook the entire building top to bottom as Celestia almost fell out of her throne. Her secretary tumbled to the floor, documents scattering all over the floor. "What in the name of the Sun was that?!" Celestia yelped as she readjusted herself. Her eyes cast themselves to the nearby window, instantly seeing a rainbow colored wave blast across the skies. "A Sonic Rainboom?!"
"A Sonic Rainboom your highness? What is that?!" her secretary suddenly blurted.
"Well it's a-"
BOOM!
"Great Suns, what now?!" Celestia yelped as she turned back to the window. There, a large pillar of magic blasted out of one of the buildings. Celestia's mind instantly recognized the location. "That's...the School of Gifted Unicorns! But they should be currently doing the-oh no!" Celestia immediately spread her wings as a magic aura covered the window, quickly opening it. The guards and secretary watched as the princess took to the skies, quickly flying to the pillar of magic. Her wings gracefully rode the wind as she flew to the top of the school. As she looked down at the cause of the disturbance, her eyes widened at the sight. "This...this is-"
A few minutes ago...
Okay, I can do this! I feel great! I can pass this test! thought a certain purple unicorn filly. The thoughts belonged to one Twilight Sparkle and she is about to take her entrance exam into The School of Gifted Unicorns. She walked into the room as she kept telling herself over and over that she would pass the test. Today's the day. No mistakes Twilight! You can do this!
However, fate would have a different card in store for her today.
As the little filly approached the stage, she could feel the mountain of butterflies in her stomach. Her hooves trembled at the very sight of the judges in front of her. She could barely stare at them directly in fear that she would mess up before she even started. As a gulp went down her throat, she looked at what she would be using her magic on. The dragon egg. Or at least, she was pretty sure it was a dragon egg. Sure looks a bit different from the books... she thought as she looked it over. I wonder why it's colored white with red stripes? Hmm...guess it doesn't matter, it's a part of the test regardless of the color.
Quickly realizing she was about to second guess herself again, she shook her head in frustration. No! No! No! Focus Twilight! Remember...you can do this! All you have to do is pass this test and then you get into the school and then you meet the princess and get her approval and then...and then... her mouth almost began to drool at her next thought. The School of Gifted Unicorns library! Oooohhhh...I wanna see it so badly...
"Ahem! Are you ready?!" barked one of the judges, causing Twilight to hop in place.
"Um, er, uh...yes! My name is Twilight and I'm fine! Wait! I mean I'm uh-er, ready!" she yelped as she turned to the judges again, blinking several times. Though she didn't want to show it, her whole face had turned into a sweat factory as she stood there, shaking like a leaf.
"Very well. Begin."
After another gulp, she began the test. Her horn started to glow as her magic aura engulfed the egg, causing it to shake. The aura swallowed the egg whole as it slowly levitated off its little platform. It shook back and forth like it was alive. The container began to rumble as it floated in the air, ready to blow.
But then fate decided to interfere. The egg stopped shaking. Twilight's eyes widened in fear as she saw the egg not respond. What?! No no no no no no! Don't do that! Please hatch! Please-
BOOM!
What sounded like a resounding explosion suddenly ringing throughout the sky, the room shook like a rattle. As the noise blasted Twilight's ears, a resulting "EEEK!" screamed out of her mouth. Then, as if on cue, her eyes turned pure white as magic blasted out of body. The magic shot out like a pillar of light, tearing up the roof as it ran into the sky. As the magic continued to flow, it began to engulf the room, causing everything inside to transform. Her parents turned into a pair of plants and the judges tried to scream as the magic slowly morphed them as well. Even the egg suddenly hatched as the magic grabbed it with a blast of force.
Above the hole that the pillar of magic had created, Celestia stayed suspended in flight as she saw the most unusual sight. She saw a small purple filly unicorn filled with magic as the magic flew throughout the room. But that wasn't what astounded Celestia. What truly surprised her was a small thin aura that surrounded the filly. Only Celestia could see this tiny bubble around Twilight. The aura was like a layer of shining glitter, embracing itself over the young filly. The Light! That little filly has the Light in her! Not only that, I know that filly. It's Twilight Sparkle, the daughter of Twilight Velvet! Is that filly...is she capable of wielding 'The Key'?!
As her thought finished, she saw something more. Though it was for a brief second, an image of a key surrounded Twilight's mouth, only to soon disappear. But this was enough for the Princess of the Sun. She...she's the one! I've found the one I've been looking for!
Quickly realizing the situation, she slowly descended into the room, standing in front of the filly. As magic continued to burst out of the filly, the little pony's eyes slowly glanced at the princess. The princess's calm smile pierced through the filly's vision, causing the outburst of magic to quickly vanish. The filly fell to the ground and began to shiver all over.
"Twilight Sparkle." Celestia said calmly, her smile unchanging.
"I'm sorry, I-"
"You have a very special gift. I don't think I've ever come across a unicorn with your raw abilities."
"Huh?!" Twilight gasped, unable to process what her ears just heard.
"But you need to learn to tame these abilities through focused study."
"Huh?!"
"Twilight Sparkle," Celestia put her hoof to her chest. "I would like to make you my own personal protégé here at the school."
"HUH?!"
"Well?" Celestia leaned in with a smile. Please say yes, please say yes.
"YES!" Twilight screamed as she jumped for joy. As Celestia watched the filly jump into the air, her eyes quickly saw another sight.
"One other thing Twilight."
"There's more?!"
"Yes." Celestia pointed to Twilight's flank, the end now showing something very new.
"My cutie mark! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES! YES!" Twilight exclaimed as the little filly began bouncing around Celestia. Celestia could only chuckle as she watched the filly celebrate over the recent events. After a few minutes, Twilight ran over and hugged her happy parents as Celestia walked over to the other side of the room. There, her eyes widened at another sight.
"Judges!" she yelled, quickly pointing at the school staff. "This egg...where did you get it?!"
"Well your majesty, it's our usual dragon test egg and..." one judge stuttered.
"If that's the case, what am I looking at then?" Celestia replied, pointing at an entirely different creature. The creature that had been hatched was small, white and fuzzy. It's face had a small red nose and it's eyes looked like they were slightly closed. It had a single antennae on its head with a large red ball hanging on the end.
"I...don't know." the judge said with a gulp. "We were sure it was a dragon egg and...uh...what is that?!"
"Kupo!" the creature exclaimed, it's little paws stretched out, trying to reach out to Celestia.
"I..." Celestia blinked as she watched the creature just wave it's arms in the air. This creature...I know I've seen it somewhere in Starswirl's scrolls. Hmm...I'm guessing this little guy will be connected to Twilight and 'The Key' as well. That and it is adorable! Just look at it's little bat wings and-stop! Business now, cuteness later. Celestia looked at the judges again, "Don't worry about it, I'll figure out what to do with the little one. Just get some ponies in here to clean up this mess."
"Yes your majesty."
"And make sure when this test happens again, there is a proper egg!" she yelled. "The point of the egg is to determine whether the unicorn has true magic potential! That's why we use a dragon egg, those eggs don't hatch regularly like other eggs. You do not put some random egg in for this test!"
"Yes your majesty!" the judges squeaked. "We won't let it happen again!"
"Make sure that you don't." Celestia barked. As the judges began to leave, she let out a sigh. Celestia then looked back at Twilight as she continued to celebrate with her parents. Twilight Sparkle...I have a feeling you have a long journey ahead of you. Celestia closed her eyes as another sigh flew out of her mouth. She looked back up at the sky, knowing that a certain white sphere would later take the sun's place. I won't fail this time. I have failed so much...and yet, even if I can not wield 'The Key', I will make sure this filly gets the training to wield it.

Well, this'll be a fun adventure. Look forward to Super Key Horse Twilight Adventures updates.
7465026 Welp, I currently plan to have it be weekly updates. I only have a few chapters done, but most of them are 80 to 90 percent done. Hopefully I can keep going all the way!
Oh I can't wait to see what happens next to Twilight, so will the Keyblade she gets later look like the first one Sora gained?
7465082 Yes. I won't hide that fact. Twilight will get a Kingdom Key.
Twilight is gonna be a type of Sora in this story but still herself.
Interesting Twilight hatched a Moggel instead of a dragon.
Now this is definitely a good twist to things. So any plans on what name the Moggel will be? 
7465198 It's a moogle. And the moogle is Spike in this story...and that'll be his name too.
7465226 Well...I already wrote a bunch of next few chapters and Spike's name is all over it.
7465211 Well I guess I should of seen that coming.
But I have to ask why are you going with Spike, or Barb instead of a different name? 
Because several other stories I read used Spike/Barb for Twilight's assistant when he/she is a different race. Mind you I don't remember all of them so don't ask okay? Plus I rather forget about some of them. 
7465226 Thank you for agreeing to a point I mention a bit ago.
7465248 Okay...I was gonna explain some the rules of this story in the author's note of the second chapter but I'll tell you this. I plan on having Twilight meet several FF and Disney characters. That includes other moogles. I'm not going to go into detail but I don't... don't want to give the moogle a...moogle name. I'm trying very hard to not make any OCs in this story. I want all the characters to be either mlp or Disney or FF.
7465258 Okay sorry for the whole thing which I didn't know sense I'm not you.
Joking aside that idea seems good, but all I can say really if you wanted to how about having the Moggel have a different color scheme than the other Moggels. Also as a suggestion how about a Chao named Angel for Fluttershy instead of a rabbit/bunny that's slightly nicer, but still can be somewhat mean. 
7465296 Its funny you say that cuz...I kinda have an idea with this moogle for later in terms of color. Let's just say...he'll have something later on that'll help him resemble who he is a bit more. As for now, he'll only be saying 'Kupo' since he's a baby.
7465305 So let guess a light purple fur, green for red besides the nose correct?
Which as I mentioned before (in away) seance Spike is a Moggel shouldn't the other Mane6 have different animal companies after all it wouldn't seem right in my opinion. 
7465328 Nope. It still looks like a moogle. Its something else that happens later. Just wait and find out...
Not bad at all again was vary intertaning to read. Also like I said on your wall post or what ever it's called it's good to see a story even if it is random, you make good stories even when I though I would not like this from the crossover bcause I did not know kingdom hearts but like all your other stories it stil was a joy to read. As always keep up the great awesome work.
7466607 Thank you!
It's actually a fun story to read. What you said in that blog isn't true. You are a pretty writer. Stay awesome.
7467662 just trying to support one of my fav authors.
7468481 Thanks.
7468203 Thank you!
I just said that in my blog because...it always happens when I start a new story. Then again, there are a few users on this site that don't like me so maybe that's why I get downvoted so quickly sometimes.
7468674
Yeah... But there are always people who will be supporting you.
Anyways, stay awesome.
7468705 Thanks!
Told you I'd comment. Anyway, good start! OMG TWILIGHT HATCHED A MOOGLE?! *squeals like a little fangirl* I WANNA JUST CUDDLE WITH IT! Lol.
I also see that Sunset was briefly mentioned in this. Will she make an appearance further down in the story???
