One by one, each student cleared out the dummies, all displaying their abilities. Each time, the dummies were replaced, as the next student student stepped forward. Oden's eyes were darting around the room, though completely focused on his objective. His eyebrows were pressed low, as he scouted out any source of light, any open space. Any place he could balance out the energy he would use for the job. A drop of sweat came down the side of his face. "Alright man...time to give it your all" he thought to himself. The student in front of him stepped forward, as the dummies were replaced. Oden looked over at the girl who the Professor named leader. "Team leader huh? I hope she's friendly. Or at least talks..." He rubbed the back of his head, thinking about his experience with the other students so far. He laughed nervously to himself, then looked up. It was his turn. Making his steps forward, he watched as the dummies were replaced. He closed his eyes, taking in a long, deep breath, then opened them back up. Slowly raising his hand into the air, straight ahead of him, he focused in on the dummies, slowly opening his fist. "Hah!" His palm was facing out in front of him, as a sudden burst of energy formed in front of his face. It was as if he smacked some type of invisible glass door, that suddenly appeared before him, and fell apart at the force of his hit. The light was dissipating, as tiny shards scattered around his entire body, glistening in the light that came through the roof. With the swipe of his hand, they formed into a set of strings, that were grouped together in a long strand. They swiftly cut through each dummy, leaving a trail of haze behind each one. "Yes!" he thought to himself. The next part was just as important. He narrowed his eyes on the wave of energy, making sure he got rid of it safely. He quickly tucked in both of his hands, carrying the strand toward himself. He swiped both his hands in front of him, as his arms stretched out like wings. The strand broke into tiny shards once again, and began to slow its pace. Breathing in, then slowly letting out a breath, he carefully brought down his hands, as the shards grew smaller and smaller, before dissolving into the haze of light that shone from the roof of the building.

Oden was walking anxiously in the line of freshman, following behind the Professor. He was looking around, trying to get a peek of the audience. "Oh man...I'm actually kinda nervous..." he thought to himself. Without paying attention, he accidently bumped into the person in front of him. "Hey!" the student said, looking back at him. "Oh! S-sorry..." he said. Once everyone around him were all lined up, the Professor began speaking. Oden wasn't paying attention to anything he was saying. He was looking out at all the other students, eyes wide with wonder. To think that all these people, with their own unique ability, were all gathered in the same place. Wow. For such a long time Oden thought he was the only one, but now, things were really different. "Let's give a warm welcome to the new students who have decided to join us." the Professor said. Oden stepped forward along with everyone else, as the audience roared with applause. He smiled. The warm welcome made him feel excited for what was to come. But for some reason, he couldn't shake the feeling that something bad was following right behind it.

::Character’s Name:: Oden Ratzke ::Gender:: Male ::Age:: 17 ::Power/Ability:: The ability to manipulate waves along the electromagnetic spectrum. From the oscillations of radio waves, to the range of colors and light along the visible spectrum, to the high-energy particle blasts of gamma rays. All vibrations can be bent to collect and release energy. ::Drawback to Power/Ability:: No energy ever gets destroyed. It’s only transferred, from one piece of matter to another. So when Oden guides any set of waves, he can’t just do away with it when he’s done. He has to transfer it to another location, without causing any unintended damage. And of course, the more energy, the more complex the process is. Furthermore, he does not command vibrations, but guides it. As they run through his body, he puts himself at risk. If the energy passes through his heart, he risks a cardiovascular malfunction. Control is the key. ::Personality:: Control is also the constant rhetoric of Oden’s personality. He’s upbeat, and outgoing. He was like that all his life. He plans to make the most of what’s to come at this “school”, and is eager to make friends. But that smile covers up his anxiety, and his constant fear of losing grasp of any given situation, and himself. He can at times be very paranoid, trying to make things go his way instead of the right way. He has to do what he does with his ability, and try to force practicalities somewhere else, pretending they don’t exist. But no energy gets destroyed. And Oden is far from realizing that. ::Appearance:: Oden is slim, with light skin, and short, light brown hair. He’s about 5’ 4’’, and his eyes are hazel, gleaming alongside his upbeat attitude. He usually wears a white tank, a pair of black fingerless gloves, a pair of brown goggles on his head, and black cargo pants tucked into brown combat boots. On colder days he’ll wear a white T-shirt and a navy-blue hooded jacket. ::Entrance Post:: A breeze ran through his light brown hair, as he looked up at the afternoon sky. The sun was shining bright, perched high above the horizon, without a cloud in sight. He took his first steps onto his new home, feeling as optimistic as ever. His fellow freshman walked along side him. He leaned forward, looking to his left. “Hey, are you guys-“ No answer. He switched over to his right. “My names Oden. Can you- “. His peers simply kept walking, completely ignoring him. With a puzzled look he slowly eased to a halt. He growled, setting his hands on his hips. He looked around in frustration, trying to comprehend these cold impressions. “Jeez. I guess this place isn’t like my first high school…” he thought to himself. He looked over to his right, noticing a set of practice fields, where students were all exercising their unique abilities. “Oh wow…cool!” he said to himself. “Oden Ratske?” A voice called from afar. He turned in surprise. “Yeah!” he called out, following an instructor toward the dormitory.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it, and I'm so happy you like it ^_^ It really means a lot man honestly thank you so much I'm glad to hear you enjoyed reading it, and I'll definitely be posting more!

Write the story you want and have been inspired to write, no matter what anyone thinks of it. There's no "correct" way to write a story

I love this haha! I also love the roles you've made for all the characters. ^^ There we goo! Imagine Larxene having to deal with that haha

Aww Thank you so much It means so much to hear that, and I'm glad you've enjoyed reading it! For what seems like all my life, all I've ever wanted to do is create stories, so hearing you say all that really helps me a lot, more than you may know. All I've been trying to do with this story is pour my heart into it, and what you see is the product. Thanks again, and no worries about the likes haha

Axel, This is a Naga Bhut Jolokia chili pepper: It's recorded as the hottest in the entire world. I dare you to eat one whole. No water, and no cutting it up into small pieces. Just one bite! Let's see how hot those flames get after eating on of these

*points to Sora* YOU!!! *points to Kairi* YOU!!! KISS!!!!! KISS EACH OTHER RIGHT NOW!!!!!

Day 94: Dreams This day is made up of a number of journal entries from different people, all written on the night of Day 94. Journal Entry: Tidus Man what a day! First, we went to school like always. Then, Wakka and I played blitzball until Selphie called us over to help find Kairi. I wonder what she was doing all by herself… Anyway, we all got to watch the sunset before heading back. Man, I need to shape up. Wakka got 5 goals past me at one point! Journal Entry: Wakka Today, me and Tidus went one on one after school. I was feeling pretty good, but our game got cut short when Kairi went missing. We were worried, but found her on the island, looking out at da ocean. We all thought is was pretty weird, but she was alright. Journal Entry: Selphie Today was such an interesting day! Once school was over, I tried looking for Kairi, but couldn’t find her anywhere. She wasn’t at her house either, so I decided to ask Tidus and Wakka for their help. We went through that plaza, and saw those cute little chocobos again, hehe! We decided to head out to the island, and that’s where we found her. She was just standing there, looking out at the ocean. I hope she’s alright. She’s been kind of out of it lately… Journal Entry: Ms. Trepe Class has been quite enjoyable so far. Everything’s moving along smoothly, and most of the students are working very hard. There’s one student I keep noticing, though. Kairi. She always seems to be distracted by something. I asked to her to read from our textbook today, but she had no idea where we were. I might have to have a talk with her soon. Journal Entry: Kairi I don’t know why…but I keep having this same dream, every now and again. I’m in someone’s arms. And there’s this…bright light. I can’t see anything, and all I can feel is this warmth, surrounding me. I have no idea who the person is, and before I can even try to figure out where I am…I wake up. But it’s not a sad dream at all. It’s the exact opposite. I feel so happy, and peaceful. But waking up makes it all go away. I went out to the island by myself today. Just looking out the ocean…it helped me think. Kairi was lying across her bed. She looked up, and smiled. Over at her window, she noticed all the tiny stars, shimmering in a mass array of millions, over the night sky. She smiled. She closed her journal, setting it down on the small desk next to her. She clicked off her lamp, and slowly brought her head down on her small, white pillow. She closed her eyes, falling into a peaceful slumber. Day 130: Stars Above Kairi slowly stepped along the mainland’s trail. She had just gotten out of school, and was looking out at the horizon. The sky was died orange and purple, as sunset fast approached. She smiled, and turned back around. She hadn't taken notice of the man who stepping in the opposite direction from behind. After spinning around, she ran into him with a thud. Puzzled for a moment, she stepped back, then looked up at his face. His red eyes looked down without the slightest bit of emotion. "S-sorry..." Kairi said nervously. It was the man with the long black hair. Without saying a word, he merely looked back up, and continued treading along down the path. Kairi turned around, watching him slowly make his way toward the shore. Watching his red cape swaying in the wind, she suddenly realized something. Something she had been wondering for some time now. -FLASHBACK: Day 84- “Hey…you guys go on without me.” Kairi stopped, as the others kept walking, then slowly eased to a halt, looking back at her. “Did you forget something?” Selphie asked. Kairi shook her head. “I’ll see you guys later” She smiled back at them, and turned around, heading in the other direction. Selphie turned to look at Tidus, who simply shrugged his shoulders in confusion. Kairi slowly made her way toward the middle of the mainland. Eventually, she made it to the grass hill where she and her friends would have ice cream in the summer. As the sun made its way into the horizon, stars began appear on the opposite end of the landscape. “The stars…” she whispered to herself. “They’re…other worlds…” -FLASHBACK ENDS- Kairi looked back up from her brief trance, and called out to the man, raising a hand up in the air. "Hey! Are you- He was already out of sight. Kairi sighed in disappointment, slowly bringing her hand back down. "Kairi!" "Huh?" Kairi turned around, to see Selphie in her school uniform, smiling back at her. "Hey! Wanna get some ice cream?" Kairi smiled cheerfully. "Sure!" ________________ The two of them sat on top their usual grass hill, perched high above the small town. Kairi took a bite out of her ice cream. "I love watching the sunset like this." Selphie said. The sun was just squeezing out its last bits of light, right above the horizon. Stars began to twinkle from above, as nightfall grew closer. Kairi looked down at the ground, and paused before speaking. "Hey Selphie..." "Hm?" Selphie looked over at her. “Do you ever think about all those other worlds out there?” “What about them?” “I mean, how many there are.” She lifted her head, looking up at the night sky. “Think about how separated we are from them.” The stars were sparkling across the entire dark blanket now. Selphie looked up as well, gazing at the immense spectacle. “Yeah…we are separated. But were connected too.” “Huh?” Kairi quickly turned to look over at her. “Just look at them” Selphie said Kairi lifted her head, taking another look at the stars above. “We can see them all for where we’re sitting, right?” “Yeah. That’s right…” Her eyes filled with wonder. “So they’re not as far apart as you may think…” Kairi stared for a long time, meditating on what she said. Suddenly, she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up at Selphie, who was standing up. “I’m gonna head back now, okay?” “Okay. I’m gonna stay here for a while, so I’ll see you tomorrow.” Kairi said with a smile. “Okay…bye!” Selphie said in return, walking off into the distance. Kairi didn’t remember how long she sat there, looking up at the night sky, wondering about what was constantly tugging on her heart. About that thing she felt was up there, but completely out of reach. But in that moment, she suddenly felt like it wasn’t as far as she thought it was. She closed her eyes, feeling the cool breeze of night gently brush against her face, running through her red hair. There are many worlds. But they share the same sky... ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Day 149 PREVIEW Riku stood silent, as his black coat, and silver hair swayed in the wind. He was standing on the paved road that lead to Beast’s castle. “Where is he…?” he thought to himself. Breaking his trance, he suddenly heard the clicks of footsteps, coming from afar. He turned around quickly. An organization member was stepping towards him. Suddenly the hooded figure stopped, bending its knees. Riku drew his stance, sticking his blade out toward it. Then, to his surprise, a bright light flashed from its hands, stretching out into a longer shape. As the light cleared, a keyblade appeared. Riku tightened the grip on his weapon, clenching his teeth. “There you are…”

Thank you very much man! Yeah I think she's a great character as well If anyone is interested, I took the two flashbacks Riku had in Day 84 and made them into short video clips! When I first wrote that part, I thought of putting pictures up with it, but I decided this could be a better idea since they were direct quotes from Reverse/Rebirth. Now you can get a more detailed look at what I imagine whenever I write flashbacks like that! I'm gonna put them up on the Day 84 post, but here they are below: When he first walks in: http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHaJdz2QXao After walking out: http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPhcWLsEleg&feature=plcp

O_O Keep it coming my man! Love it

SM, I love that you love this chapter Haha thanks so much! More is definitely on the way

I've been inspired for some time now on the topic of bullying, whether cyber or some other form, and any type of self-harm it may cause, including something so horrible as suicide. My heart aches when I see so many people suffering in a world where the kind and gentle spirit of human nature is often overshadowed by hate, malice, selfish ambition, etc. You did a great job with these two pieces of writing, Think Pink, and I'd love to read more. It's without a doubt a topic that I hold very close to my heart, and I hope that writing like this spreads inspiration and consciousness even further.

Hey thanks guys! And I'm sorry to hear that CloakedShemerX. I hope you have a new dream where you go into Final Form along side Sora and Riku and completely demolish an army of heartless haha Last night I had another dream about Kingdom Hearts! Now this one was real messed up, so I knew I had to share it on here. And this time, I can recall some dialogue that was said during it The dream was in third person perspective, so it was like I was watching a movie. I was watching the events of the first Kingdom Hearts, but the story was different. It was altered, and things were taking place much differently than the actual game. However, there were still some elements that were sustained. I don't remember the first part clearly, and the only thing I can recall is Mickey being there. And for some reason, when I think about it more, Agrabahd comes to mind. Maybe it was there? I can't say for sure. After that, I remember seeing Sora, Mickey, and some other people at the Hollow Bastion castle. They were in front of the keyhole that Xehanort's Heartless used to spread the darkness, where the famous "Sora's sacrifice" scene takes place. Next, I remember watching a flashback, at a location I can't remember, where Donald, Goofy, and what appeared to be Mickey, or possibly Oswald the Lucky Rabbit (I'm not completely sure) were slowly walking, looking around carefully. They appeared as they did in the classic black and white cartoons, so just like they were in Timeless River during Kingdom Hearts II. Suddenly, Mickey appears, but in his present form. His clothes are the same, except they are a colored light blue and gray. And this is the weirdest part... He's acting as an antagonist, attacking Donald, Goofy, and the classic Mickey. He begins to rise up into the air, and an orb forms around him, ironically looking exactly like the one Pete uses. Then he yells out, "Taste the fury!!!" (...O_o) That's when the flashback ends, and I see Sora and the gang back at Hollow Bastion. At that point, it's revealed that Riku is there, and he is in his dark form. I'd like to remind you that Mickey is also there with Sora and the gang, which is strange because he was also in the flashback attacking Donald, Goofy, and what could have possibly been the classical rendition of himself. This probably means that the conflict in this "story" was possibly a duplicate Mickey, who's working for the antagonists? A replica, like Riku in Chain of Memories? Since his orb is just like Pete's, maybe that means he is working with him? I'm not sure There's some dialogue, and then I can remember Sora looking back at everyone, and saying in encouraging tone, "C'mon! We have to rescue Donald, Goofy, and Jiminy..." After that, the whole group runs out. Mickey stays behind and pulls out his keyblade, in order to seal the giant keyhole where the darkness was flowing out of. Another strange thing about in this dream is that he was using the Road to Dawn Keyblade, that Riku uses in Kingdom Hearts II. Now before he gets the chance to seal the keyhole, Riku, swoops down and picks him up, leaving the keyhole open. Although he never says anything, I know that the reason why he does this is because if the keyhole was sealed, the darkness would stop flowing, prohibiting Riku from using his dark form. He wants to use that form to help Sora and the gang, but he's a protagonist in this game. After they all run out, the "camera" pans across the entire room, then around the furthest wall, into another room directly beside that one. The walls, floor, and several tables, arranged in columns were all wooden, suggesting it was a cabin. Inside were a group of people, wearing black, hooded, coats. The organization! All of their hoods were up, so I couldn't see any of their faces. First, I see one of them walking down the middle of room, and then, he opens his mouth to speak. "Now why wouldn't he close the DTD?" I recognized the voice. It was Axel! After he says that, Xaldin responds. "Slippery little one, ain't he?" Now they were about to go into further conversation, but then my alarm went off

Yes, I am a fan.

This is great man! And thanks a lot for the information I'll be sure to look out for more of you help for us fellow fans

I'm so so very sorry for such a long wait. Nonetheless, I hope you all enjoy reading the new day! A big shout out and thank you to my man Blacksun30 for making a beautiful drawing of Destiny Islands Academy; a new addition to the setting of the story Make sure to send him lots of love Day 84: First Day of Class Kairi twirled around, looking in the mirror; wearing her new uniform. She looked up at her hair, running her fingers through the back of it. It was starting to gain a bit of length, much to her surprise. “Kairi!” The voice came from outside. She went over to her bed, climbing on top, and opened up her window, looking outside. The morning breeze ran through her hair, as the sun shined bright upon the islands. She looked down, and saw Tidus and Selphie, standing in front of her house. They were both wearing their school uniforms. Selphie held a small white purse, laced with pink, holding a keychain of two golden stars, and one of a small moogle. Tidus had a small blue backpack held over his shoulders. “Hey guys!” Kairi waved, looking down at the two of them cheerfully. “Hurry Kairi! We’re gonna be late!” Tidus said. “Kay” Kairi nodded, going back inside, then downstairs, grabbing her badge-colored purse, then heading out the front door. She ran up to the two of them, and followed from behind as they walked down the mainland’s trail. Selphie looked over at Kairi. “Hey Kairi, do you know who the class instructor is this year?” “Hmm…” Kairi looked up. “No idea” she said, looking over at her. “Eyy!” Wakka called out from afar. He was farther ahead on the trail, waving at them. “Wakka! How you feeling man?” Tidus asked. Wakka stretched out his collar, right above his loosened tie. “Uncomfortable brudda…” he said with an uneasy look on his face. The three of them laughed, looking up at the building ahead. Destiny Islands Academy. By: Blacksun30 _______ The beeps and clicks of a working device filled the empty room with its only sound. The walls were blank, only bearing a light blue haze. If you listened closely, you could also hear the sound of floating bubbles, coming from that very same device. -FLASHBACK- “Why do shun the darkness?” -FLASHBACK- “You have no choice…” -FLASHBACK- “Please don’t give up. Believe in the light” -FLASHBACK- “You’re afraid of the darkness.” -FLASHBACK- “Riku! Fight! Don’t let him win!” -FLASHBACK - “I know you can feel it…the grip I have on your heart…” -FLASHBACK ENDS- EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LHaJdz2QXao&feature=context-cha “Hey. I’m back” DiZ and Namine turned around, looking at the young voice that called from behind. They took a long look at his change of appearance. “You’re eyes can’t lie, can they?” DiZ said. Ignoring the comment, he looked up at the large pod, where Sora was floating in a peaceful slumber. “How’s he doing?” “He is stable, and progressing steadily. However, much still hangs in the balance.” DiZ said. Namine took a few steps forward. She looked down, keeping her hands close together. “The Organization is at work” DiZ added. Namine raised her head, smiling at him; staring straight into the black blindfold that covered his eyes. “Will you be alright, Riku?” _______ Kairi, Selphie, Tidus, and Wakka were all waiting anxiously in their classroom desks. "I wonder what were gonna do today" Tidus whispered, leaning in from his desk. "Probably go over our summer work" Kairi said quietly. Selphie turned around in her desk. "Yeah! Or maybe even-- "Good morning class." A woman's voiced called from afar. The four of them looked up, as heels clicked along the ground, stepping in front of the green chalkboard. It was the instructor. She was wearing long, black, boots, that led up to a black skirt, and black blouse. Attached to her collar were two wing-like flaps, laced with gold, and a maroon tie that went down the center. Her dark blonde hair was in a ponytail, with hair dropping down from both sides of her face. She fixed her glasses, and placed her hands on her hips. "My name is Ms. Trepe. I'd like to welcome you all to a new year of school." She smiled. "Today we'll begin by going over the summer assignment." The sound of shuffling books and papers filled the room, as the class pulled out their summer work. ______ "One would suffice that Sora's fate lies in the actions of all those connected to him" DiZ said. "Are you giving me another choice?" Riku asked sternly. "His nobody is interfering, capturing Sora's memories as his own. Without him, Sora will not be able to awaken. I doubt there is any choice here at all" Riku turned around. "Where do I find him?" DiZ paused before speaking. "He is the Organization's thirteenth member." Riku stepped out, without saying a word. -FLASHBACK- “Controlling you is effortless…” -FLASHBACK- “You should look…look at what you truly are!” -FLASHBACK- “My dark shadow lingers…” -FLASHBACK- “Can I face them?” -FLASHBACK- “…someday…” -FLASHBACK- “You don’t want to?” -FLASHBACK- “Someday!” -FLASHBACK- “You know I do…of course. And I will…” -FLASHBACK- “I will return!!” -FLASHBACK- “You gotta just remember to be brave…” -FLASHBACK ENDS- EDIT: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iPhcWLsEleg&feature=plcp ______ Tidus stretched out his arms, letting out a sigh of relief. "Ahh. Great first day" He was walking alongside Wakka, Selphie, and Kairi, down the mainland's trail. "Yeah, I guess our promise really did help!" Selphie said cheerfully. Kairi looked up at the orange sky. She smiled. “Hey…you guys go on without me.” Kairi stopped, as the others kept walking, then slowly eased to a halt, looking back at her. “Did you forget something?” Selphie asked. Kairi shook her head. “I’ll see you guys later” She smiled back at them, and turned around, heading in the other direction. Selphie turned to look at Tidus, who simply shrugged his shoulders in confusion. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ And a shout out to Quistis Trepe from Final Fantasy VIII for joining the story! Hope you have a blessed Day/Night

Awwww yeeahhhh!! It's so...beautiful :'''''''''))) I love it so much man. Thanks a lot! I'm gonna go post it now. And no worries at all about the wait! It was worth it

Thank you thank you! It's coming Very soon

Haha! I love it

I love it! Including a Cars world is such a great idea. I imagine playing the actual game, driving a Sora race-car around in third person, and playing racing mini-games

I found this video before, and I think it might also be helpful or inspiring. It's a mod, allowing you to control Sora on the mainland of the islands. Many things are missing because that setting is only intended for the scenes that take place on the shore, but it still gives a new perspective that the game itself doesn't: http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0lO0Xakizc EDIT: I found some more! Here's the mainland at night: http-~~-//www.youtube.com/watch?v=7anR8amp9ZA Starting at 3:20, this video gives a much clearer, more thorough look at the mainland. They also use the setting from Kairi's scene, when she's walking down that trail:

Ahhh yeahh! Excited to see it man

Hey no worries man! I truly appreciate the time and effort that you spent working on it. It really means a lot to me All of those ideas sound very interesting and inspiring as well. I say you should reconsider because I think any art is worth posting, no matter what, but nevertheless, the choice is yours alone. Thanks so much man, and once again no problem at all!
