31st October, 1981

A tall, pale man Apparated in the middle of the high street of Godric's Hollow and smiled under his hood. So, this was the village where that muggle loving fool Godric Gryffindor was born. Well, it certainly explained why those filthy animals still infested the place. With long strides, he walked to the place where he knew his target was located. He was quite amused about this latest development. Just a few weeks back, the family was under heavy, impenetrable wards at their ancestral manor. But now, the fools had listened to Dumbledore's idiocy and they were going to die as a result. He didn't care that he was going to wipe out another pureblood family as old as any; after all, it's not he actually believed in blood superiority. No, he hated muggles, sure, but he knew that power was the only thing that mattered. After all, he himself was a half-blood and he was more powerful than any of the purebloods in the country. He mentally snorted; how foolish the people were! He knew that power rested with the old families and other influential people; he had used his power to charm and intimidate them and he was now the most powerful and feared man in the country!

His thoughts went back to the family he was soon going to wipe out. The Potters were one of the oldest pureblood families in the world and he knew that should there be a boy who was destined to defeat him, it would be from them. He had come to personally take care of them, but he had instructed Bellatrix to take care of the Longbottoms as well – just as a precaution. They were probably observing the wards around their Manor now. It would take some time, but he was confident that the Longbottom boy would be disposed of as well.

When dear Severus had informed him about the prophecy, he had been shocked. Who had the power to defeat HIM? He was Lord Voldemort! He had learnt magic and pushed boundaries of magic which no other witch or wizard ever had in history. He had immediately confirmed it with his trusted spy, Rockwood and had started searching for a potential candidate – that was when he was informed by Peter Pettigrew that both Lily Potter and Alice Longbottom were pregnant. More than a year ago, Alice had given birth to Neville Francis Longbottom on the 30th of July, while Lily had given birth to Twins Harry James Potter and Kairi Lily Potter. From what Wormtail had told him, the twins were powerful babies, which was why he had decided to target them first. Besides, he figured that since he was a half-blood himself, it stands to reason that another half-blood would be his foe.

He could see the house now since he knew the secret. The windows were charmed in such a way that a person on the outside couldn't see what was going on inside the house, but it didn't matter. He knew the wards that were placed around the house from what Wormtail had told him. How ridiculous to think that only a Fidelius Charm would protect them! He found it distasteful that the Potters were so stupid as to trust someone else with their lives. What a fitting end to the once all-powerful family. With a flick of his wand, the gate opened and he stepped into the small courtyard. With another flick, the front door was blasted open. It was time to eliminate the threat of the child of the prophecy.

James Potter sat in the family living room on the ground floor of their new home and sighed. He still wasn't used to this place and he didn't think he ever would. For a person who grew up in a large and expansive manor, this cottage was too cramped. But he didn't care about that; after all, he would gladly live on the streets if it was to protect his family. Speaking of family –

"Dada!" said a voice. James turned and smiled as he saw his eldest son taking a few steps slowly as he walked to the couch. He kneeled down on his knees and said, "Come on, Harry. You can do it. Come to me slowly."

Harry smiled brightly as any fifteen-month-old baby could do. Just as he reached his father, James grabbed his son and spun him around, making the baby giggle excitedly.

"You want to fly on your broom, Harry?" asked James as he positioned his son on his lap.

"Yay! Brum!" said Harry, clapping his hands in happiness.

"I don't think so" said a voice, entering the living room. James looked up and saw an astonishingly beautiful woman with dark red hair and gorgeous green eyes. His eyes immediately lit up when he saw his wife, who was holding an infant girl with dark red hair like her. Ocean blue eyes looked at him while she sucked her thumb.

"What about you Kairi, go flying?" asked James looking at his daughter. Kairi just stared at him before she nuzzled herself back into her mother's bosom.

"Sorry love but not tonight." said Lily with a smile.

James was about to say something when the wards alerted him that someone had crossed the Fidelius charm threshold and the secondary wards informed him that it wasn't anyone they knew.

"He's here; we have been betrayed" he whispered before he shouted. "Lily, Take the kids and Go!, i'll hold him off!"

Lily scooped up Harry and Kairi and she ran up the stairs to the nursery just as the front door was blasted open. James turned to see Voldemort enter his home. "

"James Potter" said Voldemort silkily. "How nice to meet you again; step aside."

"We meet again, Voldemort" said James with utter fury on his face. "If you think I'll just step aside and let you kill my family, you're more self-deluded and insane than I thought."

Without waiting for a second longer, James slashed his wand in the air as curses flew from his wand. Voldemort laughed as he started duelling with the younger man. While James Potter was an accomplished Auror, he was no match for Voldemort. James's face was blank as he fought with everything he had. He used his talent in Transfiguration to the best as Voldemort upped his attacks until He casted the killing curse at James chest. He fell down dead as he dropped his wand. Voldemort then advanced to the nursery.

Lily had barricaded the door to the nursery and she had the twins in their cribs. Lily tried the emergency portkeys but the anti portkey wards were up and she knew this was the last time she would see her babies. both children now knew that something was wrong.

"Mama?" asked Harry innocently. Lily choked back a sob as she kissed Harry and Kairi on their foreheads. . "Mummy loves you very much. Harry, Kairi,"

With that, she pointed her wand at the crib and started hissing slowly. She knew that she was going to die very soon. The parseltongue chant got louder as she walked around the crib. The entire crib glowed an emerald green as she finished the final chant of the ritual. Just as she stepped back, the door of the room was blasted open. Returning her wand quickly to her holster, she stood in front of her children, with defiance shining in her eyes.

"Not my children" she begged as Voldemort entered the room. "Please, spare them. Take me instead!"

"Step aside, woman" said Voldemort silkily. As much as he wanted to kill the mudblood, he had promised Severus that he would spare her and let him use her as his toy; after all, the Death Eater had reported the prophecy to him. He deserved some kind of reward. Ah, Severus was such a good dog . . . if only the others would learn from him.

"No, please have mercy!" said Lily, shielding her children from the madman. Voldemort rolled his eyes and he casted the killing curse at her. The shock on her face as Lily saw the killing curse was still visible as she hit the floor, dead. Voldemort was amused. Now, which one should he kill first? He looked at the children.. They were both twins and Voldemort can clearly see the boy as a bigger threat than the girl. The girl was crying while the boy glared at him. 'Ad an urt Mama!" he yelled in baby language. A golden aura was over him.

"Harry Potter, you die tonight" said Voldemort as he pointed his wand at him. "AVADA KEDAVRA!"

The Dark Lord watched with satisfaction as the green jet of light of the killing curse flew towards the child who had now positioned himself in front of his sister. Right before the spell can make contact with him. A weapon like no other appeared in front of the baby and blocked the spell. Voldemort was taken back at the mysterious weapon before him. It had two key shaped swords in the shape of an X with the teeth facing outwards and the filligree was glowing green.(KH3 version of the X-blade) Connected to the filigree was a golden blade. "What is this?" asked Voldemort when the roof of the house was forced off and up in the sky was golden heart shape moon. the weapon fired a beam of light and darkness at him. Voldemort was vaporized and all that was left was his robe and wand. The spirit tried to go into the nearest baby but the weapon formed a shield around the two babies. the spirit fled into the night. the two babies continue to cry for their mother.

The golden heart shape moon let it's light down on the two children as it started to rain. just then footsteps was heard as an man with a white beard wearing half moon glasses and a robe entered. He looked over to the dead body of Llly. /I'm sorry Lily but you were just in the way of my plans for this world./ Dumbledore thought before he began to approach the two children when the mysterious moon let out a bright glow blinding the wizard. When the light died down, Dumbledore saw that the two babies and the mysterious moon was gone. "Dam you Lily Potter!" Roared Dumbledore to the cloudy sky.

/Unkown Location./

The Land of Departure. a beautiful land which is home to two Keyblade Masters. Master Eraqus, A Keyblade Master who uses the power of Light and Master Xehanort, A Keyblade Master who uses the power of Darkness. Together they have made this place their home and with Xehanort occasionally going away because he is also a Seeker. a person who journeys across the worlds to study them. The two men have taken on four apprentices.

Terra Dohring, The oldest of the four who was Ten years old. Aqua Holland the second apprentice who was eight years old and the last two were Cousins Ventus McCartney and Vanitas Osment who were Six. The four of them were outside watching the stars outside on the summit. Ventus' and Vanitas' little siblings Roxas McCartney and Sora Osment were sound asleep in the castle in their cribs.

"It's another peaceful night" said Ventus looking at the stars.

"Yes it is Ven" said Aqua ruffling his hair. The four sat there when it started to get cloudy much to their annoyance. "Awe man, It's getting ready to storm" Complained Ventus.

"It's alright Ven, We'l come back out tomorrow." Vanitas said to his cousin when the clouds began to break apart to reveal the golden heart shape moon. The four apprentices were taken back at the mysterious moon when a bright flash came making the four cover their eyes. When the light died down. The four heard crying as they saw two babies in front of them. A boy with messy black hair and a girl with auburn red hair and ocean blue eyes. on their foreheads was a cut in the shape of a lightning bolt. Right in between them was the mysterious weapon that was recognized by the four. "A keyblade?" asked Terra looking at the keyblade but he never saw one like that one before. the golden heart shape moon vanished into the clouds.

"Oh Light," Aqua gasped before she picked up the crying baby girl and soothed her to stop crying, Ven had picked up the boy and he too soothed him to stop crying. "We better go show this to Master Eraqus and Master Xehanort.." said Terra picking up the mysterious keyblade. Making sure the two babies were asleep did the four rush to the castle.

Inside the castle in one of the studies was two men playing a game of chess. A man with slightly tan skin. long black hair that is tied into a short, high topknot, with one bang falling off to the right side of his face. He also has a short, triangular soul patch and a mustache. his outfit bears a distinct Japanese influence in his choice of clothing. He wears a white, red-lined haori that has a hood, along with slightly shorter than normal, light-colored hakama. Underneath his haori, he wears a navy blue shirt with a large white X pattern on the front. underneath it all was armor.

Sitting in front of him was his colleague. an eldery man about in his mid 80's. He is bald except for thin eyebrows and a curled, silver goatee. His ears are pointed and his eyes are yellow. He has broad, hunched shoulders and a crooked back. He appears overall as a somewhat feeble old man, certainly deceiving given his immense power. His clothing composed of a white and black coat with a red inner lining, which is worn over a white shirt with two thin black belts, as well as white gloves and calf-high black boots.

"So when do you plan to leave for the Keyblade Graveyard again Xehanort?" asked Eraqus before moving a silver chess piece and taking down one of Xehanort's gold pieces. "In a couple of days," Xehanort said before moving his gold peice and taking down a silver piece and he said. "Checkmate"

"so that's what now, Four hundred wins for you my friend?" asked Eraqus with a raised eyebrow.

"Actually Four hundred and one" Xehanort said with a grin making the two chuckle. just then they heard footsteps when the four apprentices came into the study. "Master Eraqus, Master Xehanort." said Aqua holding the baby girl while Ven held the boy. the scars on their foreheads was still bleeding.

"Aqua, what is it and where did those babies come from?" Eraqus asked standing up and checking the childrens foreheads. with a small cure spell. he healed the wounds up but the scars remained.

"We don;t know Master, they just appeared out of nowhere with this mysterious keyblade." Terra said still holding the keyblade as Xehanort looked at the weapon. His silver eyes widen before he muttered. "It cannot be"

Handing the weapon to Xehanort did Terra step back as the old man look at the weapon. he placed it down on the desk before him. "It is. Eraqus." the old master siad getting Eraqus's attention. turning away from the babies did Eraqus see the weapon Xehanort was looking at.. His eyes also grew big on seeing it, "The χ-blade"

The four apprentices looked at the weapon their master was looking at before Ventus asked. "Keyblade?"

"Not Key like the ones we carry Ventus" Xehanort said before using his free hand to form a Greek χ. "Kye, A letter from the Greek Alphabet. This very χ-blade guards Kingdom Hearts. the Heart of all worlds. I have been trying to find the answers connected to it and the Keyblade War."

"But how was it reforged?" asked Eraqus.

"Perhaps we should seek out Yen Sid and we should bring the two young ones with. i believe they are somehow connected to all this" Xehanort said before he summoned his own Keyblade. Time Keeper, it' predominantly colored in different shades of blue and is decorated with elaborate, spiked shapes. The tip of the keyblade appears to be a stopwatch, while the teeth are diamond shape spikes that are connected by a black web structure similar to the design on the base of the top spire . The Keychain shares the time theme represented in the blade, and its token is an hourglass. The shaft of the blade features an ever-present blue glow. A blue eye was on it as was a horned lionhead at the top.(Young Xehanort's Keyblade). He pointed his weapon in front of him did he open a Light Corridor. "Terra you are in charge until we return." Eraqus said before picking up the χ-blade and following Xehanort. The two masters soon found themselves in front of the Mysterious Tower, the home of Master Uen Sid, A Retired Keyblade Master who acts as a watcher for the balance of the worlds. The two climb up the stairs at a quiet place to not disburb the sleeping children. The two enter Yen Sid's chamber and the two masters say that Yen Sid was speaking with Merlin the Wizard. "Eraqus, Xehanort? what brings you both here at this time of night?" asked Yen Sid when his eyes were drawn to the χ-blade.

"Because these two children appeared with the χ-blade not even a few minutes ago." Eraqus said gesturing to the sleeping girl in his arms. "But we don;t understand how it was forged. The only way for it to be forged is to have Seven Lights and Thirteen Darkness clash with each other." Xehanort spoke as he was holding the boy in his free arm. The ancient weapon was now on Yen Sid's desk when it glowed with an aura. The boy also glowed with the same aura before it went away. "I believe that somehow, this boy has been chosen to Wield the χ-blade." Yen Sid said.

"Perhaps we can look into their memory and see how they came to the Land of Departure" Merlin said before opening his bag and pulling out a stone basin full of water. "A Pensieve" said Eraqus as Merlin walked over to the boy and carefully extracted the latest memory and he put the memory in the Pensieve. after putting the babies into two cribs conjured by Merlin did the four masters dive their heads into the pensive. A few minutes later did the four pull back out. Yen Sid conjured four glasses and filled them with brandy and they chugged the drink in one gulp. "as o suspected, they are from my original homeworld. I haven't been there in years." Merlin said.

"Those poor children are orphans now" said Eraqus looking at the sleeping babies. Thier parents died defending them from a Dark wizard and they were all alone.

"Kingdom Hearts brought them to us for a reason. I wonder what for?"Xehanort asked stroking his beard.

"Perhaps to be trained in the ways of the Keyblade. That Dark wizard is still alive because he did not fully die. How he cheated death, i am not so sure but i will begin investigating at once." Merlin said to his colleagues.

"and i am curious to this prophecy this Voldemort mentioned. This boy's fate is tied to it and we shall help guide him to his destiny" Yen Sid said. The three men agreed before Xehanort took the χ-blade and with a golden flash. dismissed the weapon. Eraqus and Xehanort walked over to the two sleeping babies and picked them up. Eraqus spoke looking at them "Come, Harry and Kairi Potter"

"Let us take you to your new home" Xehanort finished before the two masters opened another Light Corridor and went though it with the sleeping children.
