[black screen]

 

[Voice over beings]

 

Roxas: Wake up...c'mon. Wake up!

 

Axel: Hm? Who's there?

 

Roxas: You couldn't have forgotten already...

 

Axel: Roxas?

 

[intro]

 

[Camera moves in on Lea laying on a bench in Radiant Garden, playing with his weapons, and Isa leaned up against a wall with his eyes closed]

 

Lea: Man...there's nothing to do today!

 

[isa opens eyes but remains leaning]

 

Isa: Perhaps you should train for the tournament, instead of laying here, fiddling with your toys.

 

[Lea sits up]

 

Lea: Train, huh? Sounds boring.

 

[isa stands up and walks in front of Lea]

 

Isa: What if I train with you?

 

Lea: Hmmm...spar with you? I'm good with that!

 

[isa draws his weapon]

 

Lea: I hope you're ready! There's no way I'm gonna lose!

 

[isa extends arm, weapon in hand]

 

[Lea charges at him]

 

[A black screen appears and you see white slashes and you hear weapons clash]

 

[Lea loses and gets knocked back]

 

Lea: What!? How could I lose...?

 

Isa: Come on, Lea. I know you can fight harder than that. You were barely trying.

 

Lea: Hey! That's not- (sigh) I...I guess you're right.

 

Isa: Come on, Lea...let's go get you some ice cream.

 

Lea: That's your answer for everything.

 

Isa: Well, I certainly don't see you complaining.

 

[Lea and Isa walk down an alley, laughing]

 

[Lea and Isa walk down a ramp and Lea sees a keyblade drop in front of him]

 

[Lea swings it a bit and turns to the boy who dropped it]

 

Lea: This yours?

 

[The boy nods]

 

Isa: Lea, we don't have time for this.

 

Lea: Lighten up, Isa. It'll only take a sec.

 

[Lea approaches the boy]

 

Lea: You still play with toy swords? That's cute.

 

[Throws the keyblade down]

 

Lea: Now this right here-

 

[Pulls out his weapons]

 

Tada! Whaddaya think?

 

Ventus: Not a whole lot.

 

Lea: You're just jealous! I'm Lea. Got it memorized?

 

[smirks]

 

Lea: What's YOUR name?

 

Ventus: Ventus.

 

[Tightens grip on weapons]

 

Lea: Okay, Ventus. Let's fight!

 

Ventus: Fight? Why would I wanna do that?

[Lea bends down and points weapon at his face]

 

Lea: You scared of losing?

 

[stands up]

 

Lea: C'mon.

 

[Jumps back]

 

Lea: Hope you're ready!

 

[Ventus laughs slightly]

 

[Ventus stands up and grabs keyblade]

 

Lea: Yeah! Now we're talkin'.

 

[Ventus gets in battle stance]

 

Ventus: You're gonna be sorry.

 

[isa snickers]

 

[Ventus charges at Lea and they begin battling]

 

[Lea loses, and is knocked back]

 

Lea (Gasping): You...had enough? 'Cause I'm willing to...call it a draw if you are.

 

[Ventus stands up straight]

 

Ventus: Huh? (Chuckles) Right.

 

[isa approaches the two]

 

Isa: From where I stood, the only think you drew was a big L on your forehead for

[Zexion 4]

EPISODE 2

 

[isa and Leon fight, Leon is striking as hard as possible]

 

Isa: Leon! W-what's gotten into you?

 

Leon: Shut up!

 

[Leon strikes Isa's weapon]

 

Isa: Ah! Stop!

 

[isa swings at Leon]

 

Leon: Hahahaha! You're finished!

 

[Leon jumps up and tries to bring the sword down on top of Isa, but Isa strikes him before he strikes Isa, knocking him back and defeating him]

 

[Crowd is whispering]

 

Crowd: [You hear certain words in the crowd] What....demon....is he okay....killing....who won?

 

[Leon starts to move a bit and the crowd goes silent]

 

Isa: L-Leon?

 

Lea: DON'T GET TOO CLOSE, ISA!

 

[isa approaches Leon]

 

Isa: It's okay Lea...

 

[isa continues to approach]

 

Isa: Le-ah!

 

[Leon's body raises up in the air and drops back down into a standing position]

 

Isa: Are you...okay?

 

[Leon's eyes slowly open, they are back to their original color but black smoke still covers his eyes]

 

Isa: Darkness...

 

[The smoke disappears and Leon passes out, falling to the ground]

 

[Crowd gasps]

 

Isa & Lea: LEON!

 

[Lea jumps up onto the stage and runs over to Leon and Isa]

 

Tournament Proctor: Uh, um...we're...uh...having some technical difficulties here, folks!

 

Lea: Leon, you all right pal?

 

[Leon's eyes open slightly]

 

Leon: What...happened?

 

Lea: I dunno. You started freaking out on Isa, then you passed out.

 

Isa: The darkness.

 

[Leon and Lea look at Isa]

 

Leon: What?

Isa: I dunno what exactly happened...but whatever it was, it was dark.

 

Tournament Proctor: Hey, kid...you okay?

 

[Leon nods]

 

Tournament Proctor: All right. The winner of the match and the tournament, is ISA!

 

[Crowd cheers]

 

[The proctor walks over with a trophy that has three colored crystals on it]

 

Tournament Proctor: Congratulations, Isa. You fought well.

 

[The proctor hands him the trophy]

 

[isa takes it]

 

Isa: Thank you.

 

Lea: Woa-ho! That's pretty neat!

 

[isa pulls it away]

 

Isa: It's also mine.

 

[Lea motions Isa to calm down]

 

Lea: All right, all right...I was just looking.

 

[Lea turns away]

 

Lea: I don't want your trophy, anyway!

 

Isa: Here.

 

[Lea turns around and a red crystal is thrown at him]

 

Lea: What's this?

 

Isa: It's for you. You deserve it.

 

[isa breaks off the blue one and puts it in his pocket]

 

[isa breaks off the green one]

 

Isa: Here, Leon. This one's for yo-

 

[Leon is nowhere to be found]

Lea: Leon?

 

[Lea and Isa look around]

 

Isa: Guess he's gone. What am I gonna do with this one?

 

[Lea snatches it out of Isa's hand]

 

Isa: What are you doing?

 

Lea: Let's give it to Ventus!

 

Isa: I suppose that's not a horrible idea.

 

Lea: C'mon! Let's take it to him.

 

Isa: Yeah.

 

[The camera takes and aerial view and pulls away from Lea and Isa walking towards Ventus's direction]

 

[The scene transitions to a dark, wet, dripping cave]

 

[The camera lowers on a boy with his face in his knees, sobbing]

 

[You hear heavy foot steps]

 

[The boy looks up and it is revealed that it is Leon]

 

Leon: H-hello? Who's there?

 

[Footsteps grow louder and closer]

 

Leon: Hello?

 

[Footsteps stop]

 

???: Hello Leon.

 

[Camera is now outside a sewer]

 

Leon: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

 

[scene transitions to Lea and Isa walking through Radiant Garden]

 

Lea: Man, I can't find him anywhere! What if he was just a figment of my imagination?

 

Isa: I doubt that's the case, I saw him too.

 

[suddenly a flying device carrying someone in armor shoots into the sky and disappears]

[Lea looks at Isa]

 

Lea: You don't think...?

 

Isa: I believe it was.

 

[Lea looks at the crystal]

 

Lea: (Okay, Ven. I'll hold onto this for ya'.)

 

[Camera zooms in on the crystal and fades out]

 

[scene transition]

 

[Lea is laying on a roof at night, with Isa sitting]

 

Lea: Where do you think he went?

 

Isa: Ven?

 

Lea: Yeah.

 

[isa looks to the sky]

 

Isa: Somewhere far from here.

 

Lea: Another world?

 

Isa: If there are any...I'd assume so.

 

[Lea pulls the crystal out and holds it toward the moon and it sparkles]

 

Lea: The moon.

 

Isa: It's pretty.

 

[Cups it into hand]

 

Lea: Let's find him.

 

[isa looks at him]

 

Isa: What?

 

[Lea sits up]

 

Lea: Yeah! Let's get out of here. We'll go find Ven!

 

[isa looks down]

Isa: Lea...

 

Lea: C'mon!

 

[isa shakes his head]

 

Isa: He didn't belong here. And you don't belong out there. But I gotta ask...what's your fascination with this guy anyway?

 

[Lea looks down]

 

Lea: I don't know. He was a cool guy, and...I felt a connection with him.

 

Isa: A connection?

 

Lea: Yeah! Like...he and I had met before. Like I had always known him.

 

Isa: Well, I know that's not the case. I've been your friend since birth. We've always been together. I'd remember Ventus if you had met him before.

 

Lea: Still. There's something about him. And I gotta find out what it is.

 

[isa stands up]

 

Isa: Well, you can play detective tomorrow. It's late, let's turn in.

 

[Lea stands up as well]

 

Lea: Yeah.

 

[isa climbs down the roof ladder]

 

[Lea takes one last look at the crystal and stuffs it in his pocket]

 

Lea: Ventus...I promise I'll get this to you.

 

[Lea climbs down the ladder]

 

[The camera pulls away from the ladder and directs towards the moon, then fades out]

 

[scene transition]

 

[The next day, Lea and Isa are standing outside their apartment]

 

[Lea stretches and yawns]

 

Lea: Hm...it seems like I had something to do today.

 

[Lea and Isa think]

Lea: Oh! I gotta go to work!

 

Isa: Better hurry up or you'll be late.

 

Lea: Right!

 

[Lea runs as fast as possible to a little weapons shack]

 

[Lea runs up, winded and bent over]

 

Lea: H-hey...Bellin. Sorry I'm late. I kinda forgot I had work today.

 

Bellin: Not like I'm very surprised! You're always late.

 

Lea: Hey! At least I show up, period.

 

Bellin: You need to start showing up ON TIME! Or else-

 

Lea: You'll be fired. Yeah, yeah I know. We go through this all time.

 

Bellin: Just go to the storage room and take inventory.

 

Lea: Right.

 

[Walks to back room, casually waving Bellin off]

 

[Lea walks into a room with shelves filled with boxes]

 

Lea: Let's see. Potions, Hi-Potions, Elixers...uh...wait.

 

[Lea loses count and starts over]

 

Lea: Potions, Hi-Potions, Elixe-

 

[Throws hands up]

 

Lea: This is hopeless! Wait, maybe if I wrote it down.

 

[Reaches in pocket and pulls out a sheet of paper]

 

[Lea looks at the paper oddly, then looks up]

 

Lea: Wait a minute...

 

[Lea reaches back in his pocket]

 

Lea: What? Where's the crystal?

 

[Lea pulls both of his pockets inside out]

Lea: Maybe it fell out of my pocket. I bet Isa picked it up.

 

[Lea looks back at the paper]

 

Lea: Dang. No pencil.

 

[Lea walks out of the room, looking at the paper]

 

Lea: Hey Bellin, I need a pencil. You got one?

 

[There is no reply]

 

Lea: Bellin?

 

[still no reply]

 

[Lea looks around]

 

[bellin yells from outside]

 

Bellin: NO! GET AWAY!

 

Lea: Bellin?

 

[Lea throws the paper down and runs out]

 

[bellin is on the ground being attacked by Unversed]

 

Bellin: Lea! Help me!

 

[Lea draws weapons]

 

Lea: Get off of him!

 

[Lea goes into battle and destroys all but one of the Unversed]

 

Lea: Ha! No match for me!

 

[isa's voice comes from a distance]

 

Isa: Lea! Look out!

 

[Lea looks around]

 

Lea: Huh?

 

[Lea is attacked by a creature, different from an Unversed]

 

Lea: Ah!

[Lea is struck down and the creature tries to attack again]

 

[isa jumps in and destroys it]

 

Isa: Lea?

 

[Lea doesn't move]

 

[isa administers a Hi-Potion to Lea, and he wakes up]

 

Isa: You all right?

 

[isa pulls Lea to his feet]

 

Lea: Am now.

 

[Lea looks at Bellin]

 

Lea: Bellin. You okay?

 

[bellin limps back into his store holding his back and whimpering]

 

Lea: Guess that means I'm off work.

 

Isa: Heh.

 

[A voice comes from behind the two]

 

Merlin: That was very shotty work, young man.

 

[Lea and Isa turn to the elderly man in the blue robes and tall pointy hat]

 

Lea: Who are you?

 

Merlin: Why, I'm Merlin.

 

Lea: Who?

 

Merlin: Who!? How dare you-

 

Isa: Merlin is a wizard.

 

Merlin: A fine one, AT THAT.

 

Lea: He looks like some old geezer to me.

 

[Lea turns around and walks away, very unimpressed]

 

[The camera sits in front of Lea's face as he walks, with a blurry Merlin in the background waving his wand]

 

[The camera goes back to Merlin and Isa]

 

Merlin: I'll show YOU an old geezer! Fire!

 

[A fireball flies past Lea's face. Lea stops and his eyes grow wide]

 

[Lea slowly turns around]

 

Merlin: Not so old NOW. Am I?

 

[Lea draws his weapons]

 

Lea: Why you!

 

[Lea charges]

 

Lea: Bring it on, old man!

 

[Lea jumps up to strike but his attack is intercepted by Isa's weapon]

 

Lea: Isa!

 

[isa lowers his weapon]

 

Isa: I'm sorry about my friend. He gets pretty hot-headed.

 

Lea: Do NOT!

 

[Lea folds his arms and pouts]

 

Merlin: Haha! It's quite all right.

 

[Merlin leans down to Isa's ear level]

 

Merlin: He fights like a girl anyway.

 

Lea: What was that, old man?

 

Isa: Down, Lea.

 

[Lea stands down]

 

Lea: He's asking for it...

 

[Merlin steps up, brushing his robe]

 

Merlin: Lea, you need some training. And I'll be the one to do it.

Lea: Ha! Why would I train under you?

 

Merlin: You probably want these back, no?

 

[Holds up Lea's weapons]

 

[Lea looks all around himself]

 

Lea: What the- How did you-?

 

Merlin: I AM a wizard, after all.

 

[Merlin tosses back his weapons]

 

Lea: Still why would I wanna train under you?

 

Merlin: If you do...you get THESE!

 

[Merlin uses magic to conjure up two rounded, red and white weapons with white spikes on them]

 

Lea: Woah-ho!

 

Merlin: These chakrams are special.

 

Lea: Oh?

 

Merlin: They're FIRE chakrams.

 

Isa: Great...so you wanna turn Lea into a pyromaniac?

 

Lea: Isa!

 

Isa: Calm down, I'm only joking.

 

Merlin: So, do you want them?

 

Lea: Of course!

 

[The weapons in Lea's hands become engulfed in light and are replaced with the chakrams]

 

Lea: So, what are YOU gonna help me with? They're easy enough to swing around. I don't think I need your help.

 

[Merlin tightens grip on wand]

 

Merlin: I can teach you how to control fire and use it to your advantage.

 

Lea: All right!

 

Merlin: Come this way.

 

[Merlin beckons them into his house]

 

Lea: How do you expect me to train in here? It's too small.

 

Merlin: We won't be training in here! Observe.

 

[Merlin flicks his wand and the three of them are transported to another room. A bigger room that is empty]

 

Merlin: Now THIS is a wonderful place to train!

 

Lea: Yeah it is.

 

[Lea jumps out in the middle of the room and begins flailing himself around with the weapons]

 

[Lea falls over]

 

Merlin: He's no very graceful.

 

Isa: Nope.

 

Merlin: Up with you!

 

[Lea jumps up]

 

Merlin: Are you ready?

 

Lea: Yeah! Give me all you got! No holding back!

 

Merlin: Very well then.

 

[Merlin draws his want and summons 10 Unversed]

 

[Lea gets in battle position and waits for one of them to attack]

 

Lea: Why aren't they moving?

 

Merlin: They're under my control. They won't move unless I tell them to.

 

Isa: You can control the Unversed? How?

 

Merlin: That's for an old wizard to know, my boy.

 

Isa: Right.

 

[Merlin points at one of them]

 

Merlin: Now Lea, I want you to take aim at that one and say the word
