Yeah, I know that I posted this story a while back, sometime during the summer and I got some good suggestions and compliments on the first few chapters. Well, I decided to rewrite most of it and I changed some things in the first few chapters, so I thought that it might be easier to just post it in a new topic than have to bring back an old topic that has probably been deleted by now.
Well, without further ado, here it is:
“Choose the weapon that calls out to your heart and choose the weapon that your heart tells you to give up.” A voice said, from somewhere in the darkness.
“Okay...But who are you?” Ace asked, a little wary, into the darkness.
“I will guide you in your heart, but I will not tell you who I am…You will have to figure that out on your own.” The voice said.
“Okay.” Ace said as he walked over to the sword and picked it up, feeling it’s weight in his hand before it disappeared. Ace then walked over to the staff and saw it disappear as soon as he touched it.
“So you wish for the power of the warrior to attack those who wish to hurt you or the ones that you care about and you wish to give up the power of the mystic.” The voice said again, seeming to question Ace’s decision.
“Yes.” Ace answered as he saw the sword disappear and become replaced with a giant key. Ace looked down at the key and saw that it had two angel wings on the sides of the handle from the bottom of the handle to the top of the handle and then had two more angel wings that spiraled around each other as well as around the blade itself and stopped at the key part. The keyblade then had three smaller, crimson-colored angel wings that protruded from the blade to make the key shape.
“Keyblade...Keyblade.” The voice repeated.
“This is a keyblade?” Ace asked to himself as he tried to strike with the keyblade and saw it disappear in his hand.
“Blazing Angel...Just reach out with your heart and you will summon it.” The voice said, in a commanding tone.
Ace straightened his arm out and reached out with his heart and saw the keyblade appear in a flash of light.
“Watch out! The Heartless have appeared. Be careful!” The voice said, in a slightly worried tone, as black shadows materialized around Ace.
Ace looked around him and saw the Heartless or whatever they were. Ace grasped his keyblade in both hands and charged at the first Heartless and took it out in one slash, but saw the second one blend into the floor. “What is that thing doing?” Ace asked to nobody in particular as the Heartless sprang out of the floor and towards him, before he sliced it in half. Ace continued fighting for another minute or two and finished off the remaining Heartless.
Ace then looked in front of him, and saw a door with ornate patterns appear in front of him, out of the darkness. The keyblade disappeared from Ace’s hand as he stepped towards the door and pushed it open.
As soon as the door opened, a bright light rushed out and caused Ace to put his arm over his eyes to block out the blinding light. A second later, the light began to fade away as Ace put his arm down and looked around to find himself back on the beach on his island and three figures in front of him. ‘This...This is my island. This is the beach that Sarah, Tai, and I always played on.’ Ace thought as he looked closely at the three people in front of him. One, was a boy with dark blonde hair, whom Ace recognized as his best friend Tai. The second person was a girl with long, dark blue hair that he recognized as his other best friend, Sarah. But, the third person was someone who Ace had never seen in his entire life. The third person had silver hair that went a little past his shoulders and held the air of someone who had seen horrors that nobody should have to see.
“Hold on. The door won’t open just yet. First, tell me a little about yourself.” The voice said as Ace noticed that the three people in front of him, seemed like nothing more than lifeless dolls.
Ace walked over to Tai first. “What do you want out of life?” Tai asked in an emotionless tone.
“To become stronger.” Ace answered as he thought about the intense rivalry that had always been between Tai and him.
“Is strength that big a deal?” Tai asked.
Ace walked over to Sarah next. “What’s important to you?” Sarah asked in an emotionless tone like Tai’s.
“Protecting those I care about.” Ace answered as he remembered the feelings that he had for Sarah ever since she came to the islands.
“Is protecting people really that important?” Sarah asked.
Lastly, Ace walked over to the unknown person. “What are you afraid of?” He asked in a tone similar to the others.
“The darkness.” Ace answered as he thought about the monsters that had come from the darkness earlier.
“You want to become stronger. You want to protect those you care about. You are afraid of the darkness. Your adventure begins at dawn. Keep a strong, steady gait throughout your journey and you will be okay.” The voice said.
‘That sounds about right.’ Ace thought. Then another flash of light brought Ace back to the platform. Ace then saw a staircase appear in front of him that lead towards another platform above him. Ace began running up the stairs and reached the platform at the top. Ace walked to the center and saw his shadow begin to grow longer, until it separated from him and turned into an exact replica of Ace. “Who...Who are you?” Ace asked as he heard the voice in his head again.
“Don‘t be afraid...Even though the closer you come to Light, the greater the Darkness becomes; you can still defeat it if you truly have the will to fight and survive.” The voice said.
“I am the darkness that is inside of you Ace...The darkness that can‘t be destroyed, even by that accursed weapon.” Ace’s shadow said as he summoned a dark copy of the exact weapon that Ace had received.
“Shut up!” Ace yelled as he summoned his keyblade back to his hands and grasped it tightly in both hands as he charged at his shadow.
Ace and his shadow deflected the majority of the other’s attacks for several minutes. A few minutes later, Ace jumped back a few feet after he received a bone-crushing blow to the shoulder that nearly dislocated the bones in it.
“I’ve got to admit, you’re strong. But that doesn’t mean that I will lose to you.” Ace said as he grinned a little and tried to stand up, but felt his knees starting to give out on him.
“You will never win. This is where I kill you.” Ace’s shadow said as he disappeared and reappeared in front of Ace with his keyblade ready to strike.
As the keyblade came down on Ace, Ace suddenly jerked his keyblade up above his head as soon as the keyblade was about to reach Ace’s head and put his other hand on the blade to help deflect the keyblade.
“What the heck?” Shadow Ace yelled as his strike was parried and Ace jumped up above him and sliced his keyblade straight down Shadow Ace’s body, killing him. Ace then jumped backwards and saw the keyblade disappear from his hand.
“I did it. I actually beat him.” Ace said as he grimaced in pain from his shoulder injury.
“I guess that I made a good choice when I chose you to wield the keyblade. Soon the Heartless will attack and you will need to be ready, Ace...You will meet the other keyblader soon. His name is Sora...Even though you will encounter many enemies and many obstacles, remember: There will always be a door to the light...” The voice said as it faded away.
“Okay I understand...” Ace said as he felt himself falling into the darkness.
Well, that's the end of the first chapter and like always, all comments and criticism are welcome, as long as it does not border on being considered a flame. I'll have the next chapter ready soon, so I hope that I'll get some comments pretty soon.
Well, without further ado, here it is:

Part I
A New Keyblade Master

Prologue:
It has been two years since the Keyblade Master, Sora, returned to Destiny Islands after finishing off the Organization for good as well as the Heartless. On a group of islands about 25 miles from Destiny Islands called the Islands of Fate, a new keyblader is about to awaken. In his bedroom in his home, a boy who is almost a man by the name of Ace is dreaming of falling through darkness towards a platform. Through his journey, he will be forced to grow up and will be thrust into circumstances in which no human being should be thrust into.Prologue:
Chapter 1
The Next Keyblader:
Ace looked down to see himself falling through the endless darkness. “What is this? Is this a dream?” Ace asked into the darkness as he saw a platform appear out of the darkness below him. Ace landed on the platform and looked down to see a picture of Sora, Riku, and King Mickey with their individual keyblades pointed to the center of the platform. Ace saw a sword, shield, and staff appear in front of him. The Next Keyblader:
“Choose the weapon that calls out to your heart and choose the weapon that your heart tells you to give up.” A voice said, from somewhere in the darkness.
“Okay...But who are you?” Ace asked, a little wary, into the darkness.
