Twilight of the Two Moons
Chapter 1: New School
A building zoomed by, as two pair of sapphire blue colored eyes stared at them. The ride to their new school became very boring for the two boys who shared the same eye color. "Cloud, do we really have to attend Hearts Academy? Yeah, mom and dad were heroes, but that school is better suited those with active powers not kids like me and Roxas," the brunette argued for the thousandth time since their older brother told them they would be attending the school.
Cloud sighed once again and tossed his spiky blonde hair. "Sora, you know that recently new and more powerful Heartless have been popping up. People are going to need all the help they can get. That's why I had you two enrolled at Hearts Academy. It's the best school for heroes and even if you don't have unique abilities, the school will prepare you to be able to take out B class Heartless," Cloud replied again to his younger brother. The Heartless were categorized into classes so heroes know how powerful these creatures were. The classes ranged from F to A, and even S. The lower the designation represented weaker Heartless. While higher designations were reserved for the stronger Heartless.
Cloud, a graduate of Hearts Academy, had been approached to teach students who used swords how to properly use their weapons. Not wanting to leave his brothers, Cloud arranged for Sora and Roxas to attend the school.
The drive lasted another twenty minutes, and soon Sora and the silent Roxas looked at their new school. The twins stared in awe at the large school sitting in the middle of the bay, on its own private island.
Cloud smirked knowing the two would do this but what he didn't expect was for Roxas to say something about the school. "Sora, I gotta say, I'm kinda impressed."
Once the three brothers drove over the bridge, Cloud dropped them off at the entrance of the school and told them to wait there for him.
Sora and Roxas looked around a little and noticed all the boys there were wearing crimson red uniforms, dark blue blazers, white dress shirts, and a crimson tie that matched the jacket of the uniforms. As the twins watched as the student walked by, Cloud came up behind them and pushed the two boys forward. Cloud smirked and told them to go into the building in front of them.
The group of three walked into the building and caught the attention of a few students who were heading to class. However with an icy glare from Cloud, the students ran off. Cloud smirked to himself thinking, 'Hm, still got it.'
Cloud guided his brothers into the main office and told them to take a seat. He then walked over to the counter and rang the bell.
A young woman came from out of one of the many offices and approached Cloud. When she saw who was standing there, she ran and jumped over the counter and gave Cloud a hug. Sora and Roxas gave the two a confused glance. The woman had chestnut brown hair and her hair was pulled back and tied with a pink ribbon. Cloud gave the woman a small smile and said, "Well, it's nice to know that I wasn't forgotten. How are you Aerith?" The brunette, identified as Aerith, smiled up at her old friend and answered, "I'm fine Cloudy, so did you finally decide to take up Ansem's offer?" Cloud frowned at the use of his old nickname, while the twins giggled silently. "Yes Aerith, but I had to bring my brothers with me. I just got them back and there's no way I'm leaving them again," Cloud answered the brunette.
By now Roxas was tired of being ignored, so he got up and walked over to his brother. "Cloud, are you just gonna be a jerk and not introduce us or do I have to do it myself," Roxas said in a slightly annoyed voice.
Cloud just glared at his younger brother and let Aerith go. He cleared his throat and motioned for Sora to join them. As Sora walked over, Cloud went into a short intro for his brothers. "Aerith, these are the twins I would always talk about when we were in school together. The brunette is Sora, he takes after dad, especially when it comes to personality. The blonde is Roxas, he takes after mom; that's where he gets the attitude from." At Cloud's accusation, Roxas' anger flared as he yelled, "What!?"
Sora sighed knowing this would turn into a fight if he didn't stop them. However Aerith was one step ahead of him. "Cloud, it's not very nice to pick on your brother in such a manner," the older brunette said. Sora was surprised to see that Cloud had actually been affected by her stern but soft tone. The younger brunette had also started thinking that she sounded like their mom when she scolded them. While Sora's thoughts were reflective, Roxas let a smug grin unfold on his face but it was stomped out just as fast. "And Roxas, you know your brother was only teasing you; that's not a good reason for you to lose your temper." Now Sora could only stare in shock as Roxas face looked guilty for getting upset.
After getting the two blondes to straighten up their act, Aerith asked what it was that they needed. "Honestly, Prof. Ansem wanted to see me and the boys before we settled in," Cloud answered. Aerith nodded in understanding, so she went back behind the desk and called up to the headmaster's office. The young woman was on the phone for a few minutes and told them the he was ready to see them. The three Strife boys walked behind the counter and followed Aerith down a long hallway and stood before a large set French style double doors. Aerith took the handle of the right door and pushed it open. Aerith smiled again as she told them to go ahead inside.
Roxas was the first into the office with Sora right behind him. As Cloud entered the room, the three glanced around the office and noticed the bookshelves that lined the room's walls. In between certain sections, pictures of Ansem and many of the students he taught sat, or a figure that held sentimental value to the older man. The three young men continued to observe the room until a deep voiced "Hello" caught their attention. A soft, but deep chuckle came from the same direction as they noticed a large wooden desk sat in the back of the office, with a slightly elderly man sitting behind it.
The elder man had long light blond hair pulled back, his skin was lightly tanned, and his eyes were an unusual golden-orange coloration. "Hello gentlemen, I'm sorry if I surprised you, but I think it's best if you get things moving along," Ansem said with a polite and friendly tone. Sora, Roxas and Cloud walked to the man's desk and took a seat in the chairs that were created with a wave of his hand. "I know you all have traveled a great distance to attend this school, so I'd like to keep the meeting brief so you all can get some rest and relax a little."
With that said, Sora started to inquire on their acceptance. "Mr. Ansem, I understand that Cloud was offered a teaching position here, and he refused to leave us behind, but is that the only reason we were accepted to your school?"
Ansem looked at Sora and Roxas and interlocked his fingers. "To answer your question bluntly young Sora, no. That was not the reason we accepted you here. You and your brother have a great deal of strength and I believe with this school's help you two can help protect a great deal of people just as your older brother has done," Ansem answered looking at the twin seriously.
Next Roxas began to speak. "But sir, how can we do that? Sora and I don't have a power of our own. Even if we learned how to use magic, how can it be that strong? If it were wouldn't we just have a unique ability already?"
Ansem nodded in understanding of Roxas' concern but stated, "That is true, but I believe a hero is not determined by a unique power or just the ability to use an magic. Yes these things make it easier to fight insurmountable odds, but having the courage to defend those they care for what makes a hero. You two were born into a strong and courageous family. I want the power that was passed on to you two to grow." Ansem's voice was filled with a fatherly pride and a desire to help them grow stronger. The twins heard the older gentleman speak to them, they gave in and officially accepted the transfer to Hearts Academy.
