Text Masked (The Inevitable Trio)

*This story...is a KH fanfic yes. I did not mean for it as a fanfic at first, but after reading some of DeathSkull's "Lost Star" I was thrown off the edge of my cliff and into inspiration*

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The human heart is a strange thing, yes, it can conjure up feelings and answers and questions the mind could never comprehend...but how about a mask....when a heart is no longer available.....

Chapter 1: The Genesis -

In a peaceful village surrounded by a meadow of flowers and waterfalls crashing atop wet boulders and stones into rivers dancing with all kinds of fish and frogs and life, lies a straw-roofed home resident-ed by a poor family that lives near the market street. After a moment of agonizing screaming, came the wailing cries of a newborn baby.

"Its a boy!" exclaimed a round-bellied man with a scratchy beard, holding the baby boy as its being cleaned.

"Oho...do you hear that John? We have a boy.." spoke the new mother as she lies her head on soft feather-stuffed pillows from exhaustion, holding the hand of her husband.

"Let Mary see, she needs to hold our new son." said John in happiness. Handling over the baby from the portly doctor to his wife.

The couple both smiled as they cared their newborn son.

"Well John, he's your son, let's name him that." said Mary looking over to John across to her right.

"Sure. Son...your name shall be, U'lo." said the father, smiling greatly with excitement for whatever destiny holds for his son.

(Meanwhile at the exact same time in a different village)

In a village surrounded by mountains and trees, where large animals travel and birds sing, a house belonging to a poor family was engulfed by the wailings of a newborn baby.

"Its a girl!" outspoke a rather old and skinny doctor, cleaning the new baby girl. He then handed her to her mother.

"Oh Arthur, she's exactly as we dreamed she'd be!" spoke the mother in relief and between gasps gave a pained smile.

"Well June, she's your daughter, should we name her that?" Arthur asked as he kneed next to his wife happily.

"Of course, her name shall be, A'me." June kissed her daughter lovingly on the forehead.

(Meanwhile at the exact same birth time as the other two babies...)

In a village next to the beach, a mother had just given birth.

"Its a boy!" laughed the nice doctor who, after cleaning the baby, returned him to his mother.

"What should we name him Fredrick?" asked the new mother to her husband who was standing next to her left.

"Hmm. Well he is a boy. Let's name him that. Amelia." said Fredrick to his wife Amelia.

"Right. Then his new name shall be, Ga'da." The father said smiling at his new son.

The three children, U'lo, A'me, and Ga'da, their but only a few minutes old and yet, have a destiny thats been carried for over 100 years. This will be a tale, not about fierce dragons and lovely damsels, no, this is a story from the heart...and if a heart is pushed too far, it could break.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

K, well, strange intro I know mates. The names, if you know me, you know could be (and are) from Cherokee Indian words. U'lo, is the beginning of "u-lo-gi-dv" meaning "Cloud.", A'me is short for "a-me-quo-hi" meaning "Ocean." and finally Ga'da, which is short for "ga-da-wa-hi" but could be left as Ga'da for it means the same, "Ground." Your thoughts on this story mates? Good or bad so far? I know it has no traces of kh or ff in it but the second chapter will.

OH, first I read "masked" in a theared title here on "writing", then I saw the author's name: Sorage55. Result : the first thingI tought: it's something about The Domo Chronicles! Great! But then I read "This story...is a KH fanfic yes." byut never minds.

----

As usual, you write fantastcly. I like the names, really. ANd I'll nvbe waiting ofr more as excited as I am with Domo CHronicles

Ahh thank ye child, its nice to notice a fan of my original novel series. Now then I shall continue the story:

Chapter 2: A Fight, A Chance, A Destiny-

15 Years Later...in the village of the Cloud Glider...

"What are you talking about?" creaked the voice of young U'lo, facing a huge armor-cladded warrior to the east of him as he exited his school house after another day done. Grass blew strongly around them as the conversated between roads.

"Child, you have the scent of the ancient ones, come with me." The deep-voiced warrior said, his armored Chocobo "waak"-ing to the back-right of him. The Chocobo was Grey-colored.

"No way i'm coming with you! What about my family?!" The boy was getting angry, his backpack strapped one-shouldered, he was wearing a cotton jacket and a white shirt underneath, blue jeans, black shoes. His hair as golden as the sun and as wind-swept as the style gets. His eyes as blue as the sky. U'lo clutched his hands into fists with anger welling up inside.

"If you don't come quietly i'll have to take you by force, your family is not what you should worry about at the time being. They already gave permission for your leave." The solider said.

"W-what?! But....but I..." U'lo was tongue-struck, why would his parents allow him to go somewhere with a complete stranger they do not know? This is crazy!

"Leave your school objects here, they'll serve no use for you. All you need to bring are the clothes on your back." The solider informed. The sun was rising behind the solider, the orange and yellow colors shined past his body which was shading U'lo from the sun's glare.

"Tch." U'lo gave in. He let down his backpack into one hand and tossed it spinningly and expertly into the garbage bin 20 ft. away from him near a stranger's house. He then let himself up onto the chocobo, the solider with iron helmet covering his face got on in front of U'lo to drive the chocobo. They kicked off.

"By the way, nice toss." The solider complimented.

"Tch, yeah well. Thats why I was on the basketball team." U'lo grinned slightly.

Meanwhile in the beach-side village of the Ocean Rider...

"A'me! A'me~!" cried the girl's mother out to the ocean. A few moments later a dolphin broke off the water's surface, carrying a 15-year old girl gripping onto its back. The cheery and smiling girl hopped off and waved goodbye to the dolphin when she arrived at the beach. She ran right up to her mother's presence.

"Yeah mom?" said the teen girl, with hair colored as dark blue as the sea would be, her eyes a sky blue color, as faint as it could be.

"Honey, dry off and get dressed in regular clothes, we have a visitor for you." The mother said happily.

30 minutes later back at the home of A'me, she walked down the staircase with a towel still drying off her hair, she was dressed in overalls and a blue shirt underneath that. She wore lightly brown leans, and pink shoes faded from use. A'me looked over at the figure sitting at the family table along with her mother and father, it was a solider, dressed darkly but not evil. In old traditions of courtesy of course he removed his helmet to reveal a strong man with short brown hair, probably in his 30's or late 20's. Tanned skin, grey eyes. Nothing special, but a solider all the same.

"A'me, this gentleman is going to take you to someplace where people need your help. Its a direct order from the King." said A'me's father in a serious but gentle tone.

"What? But...but what about my friends? What about everyone here in the village?" A'me said.

"A'me...please don't make this dramatic, or harder than it has to be. You know you never had any friends here. The ocean was the only place you ever wanted to go since childhood." Her mother said, holding her husband's hand.

"Come now, A'me, we are on a schedule. You do not have to bring anything but the clothing your wearing right now." The solider said, he then stood up and gave a nodding smile of reassurance to A'me's parents. Then he put his helmet on and opened the door to reveal his chocobo waiting outside. "Come." He said, gently.

A'me was confused and torn. She didn't want to leave home but...she had no choice. She tossed her towel to hang on a chair at the table. Her hair still wet.

"Can we at least wait till my hair dries first?" She asked, trying to buy time.

The solider raised his gloved hand in front of him at A'me and muttered a few words. That shot out a faint yellow blast from his hand to A'me's hair. The yellow magic wrapped all the way around her hair and then disappeared, leaving her hair soft and dry. A'me stood there shocked. The solider lowered his hand.

"Shall we go now?" he asked.

A'me pouted a little, but gave in and left out the door with the solider and onto his chocobo they ran to the east, where the sun was rising.

Meanwhile at the same time in the farm fields of the Ground Seeker...

"Don't even move! Give me all your money kid and no one gets hurt." ordered a sleezy thief off the road between a village and a farm. The thief was wearing a black cloak and carried a small dagger. He was aiming it at a young teenage boy in a tucked-in white cotton shirt, pig leather-brown belt, raggedy and stitched-up blue jeans and bare feet. The boy had a bit of wheat grass in his mouth, brown hair as colored as dry earth, brown eyes that showed the very essence of rock, and a straw hat on his head.

"Tch. Like you scare me." The boy said raising his fists at the thief.

"I warned you!" The thief shouted and came in for a stabbing attack at the the stomach, but the boy dodged it and leap-frogged over the thief's hooded head. The farmer boy landed behind him and gave a whirling roundhouse kick to the thief's head behind him. The thief fell K.O'd and his knife knocked off his grip.

"Not even a challenge." said the boy, and walked off to the farm, but he was stopped again in the street by a solider riding a chocobo, the solider got off and walked up to the boy.

"Boy, are you Ga'da?" The solider asked.

"What of it?" Ga'da answered.

"You are hereby to come with me to the king's castle in the east. You parents bid you goodbye." The soldier said.

"So thats what it was about..." Ga'da looked down in thought and memory...then snapped back to the solider. "If you want me then, you'd better beat me in a fight!" Ga'da quickly grabbed the knife the thief had and pointed it at the solider.

The solider bursted out laughing. "You think you can beat ME? HA! I think i'm gonna like you kid. Sure, we got some time to spare." the solider said taking off his helmet. He revealed a face of a 35-40 year old man with an orange-rusty beard. Short spiked hair, and a few battle scars around his face. The solider pulled out his gunblade from its sheath strapped to his back.

The two began to fight! And after 20 minutes or so Ga'da was knocked down to the unforgivable dirt road. The trees rustling overhead by the wind around them. Ga'da was now really REALLY angry. He got back up and in rage faced the smiling solider.

"Had enough kid? You aint gettin' anywhere." the solider said laughing heartily.

"SHUT UP!" Ga'da exploded in energy and anger, the road around him cracked and breaked. Ga'da's dagger that was clutched in his left hand shined with incredible light, an earthy aura erupted from it and the dagger transformed in glimmering light into...a Keyblade!

"W-whaaat?! T-the Keyblade!" The solider was shocked and surprised.

Ga'da did not pay attention to what just happened but on instinct ran up to the solider gave a huge slash at his chest, piercing through armor and knocking him back. Then spinning around and shooting a huge beam of light at the solider, tripping him to fall on his back.

From the fading anger, and releasing energy...Ga'da soon fell to his knees, his keyblade faded into light and he fell onto the dirt road. The solider got up with a few heavy breathes. He looked at his injury and saw the huge gash in armor, he even went to feeling some blood dripping out of the wound Ga'da made. The solider walked up to the now sleeping Ga'da.

"Kid...I hope you aint gonna be too much trouble." the solider said and put his helmet back on, re-sheathed his gunblade, and picked up Ga'da over his shoulder. He mounted Ga'da onto the chocobo and rode off to the rising sun in the east. To the castle.
