John X Meets Kingdom Hearts
By: John H. Stubbs
Prologue
It was a stormy night for one boy. This boy was the oldest of the four brothers and two sisters. He would protect them with all his might. His brothers’ names are Jackson, Jeffery and Adam, and his sisters’ names are Kayla and Pearl. Jackson was the youngest of the four brothers and two sisters. What’s the boy’s name, you ask? His name is John X and he is a brave young lad who knows the ways of the blade. He’s been training for a special day. A day that he will never forget. The day of the tournament. The day of the Sword Fight Tournament. You see, in this tournament, the only way to win is to knock the baton off your opponent’s hand and this isn’t an easy thing to do. But John was determined to win the tournament, for the winner gets a unique sword called the X-Factor Sword. John entered the tournament and won, beating his own brother Adam in the tournament, as well as his long-time friend Michael Bon Fire. It was hard, but John won the sword. He also won a pair of gloves with his choice of style: red flames, dark flames, blue flames, chains and lock, or red ropes. John chose the red flames. He liked red stuff a lot. All the sudden, a thunderstorm quickly appeared from out of nowhere. Everyone went indoors. But John didn’t. He knew that the storm wasn’t any ordinary thunderstorm. It was something he was waiting for years: a challenge. All the sudden, black creatures with antennas on their heads appeared and attacked John. John dodged their attacks and tried to strike them with his sword. But the attacks didn’t even touch the black creatures. In fact, it felt like wind hitting the black creatures. As things started to look bad for John and as the black creatures surround him, a light came out of nowhere and in John’s right hand wasn’t the X-Factor Sword. Instead, it was a sword the shape of a key. John didn’t know what to do. He attacked one of the black creatures and it went away. Suddenly, John heard a voice saying, “John X, the next Keyblade Master. May he live forever.” Suddenly, John felt darkness covering him. And with that, he was taken to a different world. And also, this was the beginning of John’s adventures.
Chapter 1: A New Beginning for John X
John woke up and viewed his surroundings. “Where am I?” John asked. “Why, you’re in Radiant Garden, my dear,” a beautiful voice spoke to John. John looked up and saw a brown haired, green-eyed flower girl. “Are you an angel?” John asked the flower girl. The flower girl shook her head. “I’m not an angel, sweetie. I’m just a flower girl, helping out other people from different worlds that got taken away by the Heartless,” the flower girl said. John gave the flower girl a look of confusion. “What’s a Heartless?” John asked. “It’s what took your world, my dear. They are beings without hearts. They hunt for the darkness inside people’s hearts and steal their hearts away. My name is Aerith and I’m glad to meet you, little one. What’s your name?” Aerith asked. “My name is John X, ma’am, and what is this?” John asked, showing her the key-shaped blade. “Oh my! It can’t be. Not a Keyblade,” Aerith said in shock. John was even more confused. “So, this is a keyblade, huh? I see. Okay, then. What’s a Keyblade?” John asked. “It’s what unlocks and locks things. There were few who held the Keyblade. You must be one of the few who can wield the Keyblade. I’m impressed,” Aerith said. “Thank you, I guess,” John said. “Come with me,” Aerith said and walked away. John followed. They went through different passageways and when they reached their destination, a lot of Heartless suddenly appeared from out of nowhere. “Don’t worry! I’ll protect you!” John said and immediately attacked all of the Heartless. After all the Heartless were gone, Aerith gave John a hug and said, “You must be really brave. Thank you.” John just smiled and said, “Just doing my job.” They went inside. As soon as they went inside, John viewed his surroundings. There were a lot of people here. One looked like a ninja, one had yellow hair and goggles on his forehead, one had a blade that looked like a gun, and one looked like a wizard. “Hi, everyone. I’m back. And look who I brought with me,” Aerith said. Everyone looked at John and then continued with what they were doing. Aerith got frustrated at this and shouted, “Is this anyway of treating a Keyblade Master!? John, show them your Keyblade!” John did just that. He showed everyone his keyblade. Everyone looked at it and their jaws just dropped.
The one with the blade that looked like a blade said, “What’s your name, kid?” John replied by saying, “My name is John X and for your information, I like to get back home.” The man with gunblade just nodded and said, “I see. My name is Leon. That’s Yuffie, with the shuriken. That’s Cid, with the goggles on his forehead. And that’s Merlin, a wizard. Merlin can teach you different magic. And this is my trusty gunblade. And you already met Aerith. So if you have any questions, just ask any of us.” John nodded and then asked Leon, “Since my world was taken by the Heartless, what do I do now?” John asked. Leon thought about this for a moment. He then said, “You can help us fight the Heartless. Since Sora and his friends went back to their world, we thought the heartless would be gone, as well. But since you’re world was taken by the heartless, I guess we have no choice but to fight the Heartless, again. Don’t worry, John. We’ll help you out.” John nodded. “You should start by learning different types of magic, such as fire, ice, thunder, etc. That way, you can protect yourself and the ones you love,” Merlin said. John nodded and said, “Okay. I’ll start ASAP.” Merlin nodded and gave John a book that said on the front cover, “A Beginners Guide to Magic.” John nodded and began to read. John loved to read books, especially ones that you can learn things, such as magic, swordplay, etc. John read the book for hours until he was done it. “I’m done, sir,” John said to Merlin. “Good. Now onto phase two of your magic training. First off, cast fire into this orb I have created,” Merlin said. John did just that. He cast fire into the orb. Merlin then instructed John to cast different kinds of magic. John did that. All the sudden, John slipped, fell, and cut himself. But John used cure to cure himself and the cut. Afterwards, Merlin told John that John was done with Merlin’s lessons and that John must find out how to upgrade the spells he learned on his own. John nodded. “I’m off, y’all. See you later,” John said. And just as he was about to open the door, the door opened from the outside. “Where’s John!? I saw him coming inside here!” a blue haired woman shouted. John got up from his fall and said to the blue haired woman, “Hi, Elizabeth Rivers. How’s it going?” Elizabeth looked at John in frustration and shouted, “Why didn’t you tell me you were going out with another woman!? John, I’m upset with you!” John looked at Aerith, who gave a look that said, “This isn’t my battle, John. You fix it. I’m not involved.” John then looked at Elizabeth and said, “Elizabeth, it’s not what it seems. That woman over there (Aerith) found me and she helped me out. She helped me find new friends. And besides, I have this to protect you, me, and anybody else that needs protecting,” showing Elizabeth his keyblade. Elizabeth looked at it in shock. “Is that the X-Factor Sword?” she asked. John nodded. “Oh well. I always knew that the sword would transform into something else. So, is it true that world is gone?” she asked. John nodded, again. “I see. So, what are we going to do now?” Elizabeth asked. “Well, I was going to use a Gummi Ship that Cid’s making. You can join me, if you like,” John said. Elizabeth nodded. “Hold on, my dears. You need someone to help you out. You may not know this, but I’m gifted with magic just like yours, John. And you need help, John. Okay?” Aerith asked. John nodded. “The ship is ready, John. Hop onboard, anyone who’s going with John,” Cid said. “I’ll go with you, John. You need a pilot for the ship,” Leon said. “Okay, then. Let’s go, then. Onward to the Gummi Ship,” John said. And with that, John left, with his friends, Leon and Aerith, and his girlfriend, Elizabeth. This was just the beginning.
More will come. Until then, see ya!
