A/N: Hello there, as you can tell I am not new here, but is new to writing BBS stories. I just finished the game and just had to write it. I am a big fan of KH, FF, dragons and the fantasy land so I thought what the heck? Hope you like it!


  Acid Rain: A Dragons Story



Chapter 1: Diamond in the Rough



It was across vast forests, dense green trees with crystal blue waters. Colorful exotic birds fluttered through the sky, as they taught their young to fly high and unafraid. Mystic beings that guarded the sea rose from their aquatic homes looking eager. Large amounts of silver and black wolf packs gathered for the first time this year. Animals from very small to very large gathered on this special day as well. It was time to see who would be training the new generation of dragons. It was also the beginning of a very special tale. A story as old as time, that hasn't been spoken about for what seemed like ages.



In a timely symphonic order, the large school bells rung loudly as hoards of different dragons in various colors and shapes took flight. They arranged in order with their young not that far behind them, keeping them close. While at the same time, a huge rush of teens ran out in the order in which their levels were given and waited in rows of 60. It wasn't long before heavily red robed adults stood in front of their students.



The dragons of Hollow Ash landed in the order which they took off. It wasn't a lie if someone told you they were beautiful creatures. All colors ranging from sliver, blue, red, gold, and mixtures of black and green. It was funny to see the young dragons begin to stretch out their limbs and wings, trying to show off to the elders before halting when their parents began to growl. Now all of these breeds of dragons came from generations of royal blood, so it was reason enough to believe they had an air of arrogance to them.  


As in the meantime, the red cloth wearing teachers and elders began to cross examine the young dragons. The young teens watched from the other side of the courtyard already beginning to choose which dragon they wanted to claim as their own.  However, Sora Heartnet seemed to be the only one not really paying any attention to what was currently going on.

Now it wasn't because the boy didn't care for this special event, that only happened once every 16 years; it was only because the poor thing had had a very bad habit of daydreaming. Still, he was a sweet teen bearing beautiful chocolate brunette hair spiked in all directions. His sapphire blue eyes seemed to be rimmed in coal colored eyelashes as he fluttered them slowly while he dreamed away. A few leaves brushed lightly against smooth tanned skin, before a set of rosy plump lips started to part in a long yawn. Ah yes, he was a dreamer.


Soon enough as Sora was gathering his wildest whims, the large bronze bells of Zaria, school of dragon trainers, started to ring very loudly. The young male jumped a little before watching as the other students wasted no time in lunging forward towards the dragons. Only then, he decided it was time to do as the others and try to obtain a dragon to train. Unfortunately, there wasn't that many dragons left for poor Sora.


As the school rules stated in paragraph 1 line 5, "A Zaria trainer must train for 16 years and nine months in the language of dragons before he/she can be eligible to obtain and train a dragon." Line 6, "Once all training is completed within the years given, he/she is allowed to graduate and attend the Ceremony of Ash, where they are allowed to choose one dragon child of their choice in the listed line." Sora forgot the most important words his teacher Leon had told him. "Always pay attention, because the dragon that might be fated to you can still be stolen away…"



Sora ran forward as quickly as he could to try and at least get one dragon on his side. Even though, it wasn't making it any better that his twin brother Venitas was trying to get anything better than his younger brother. Sora glanced over at a small group of dragons that hadn't taken off just yet, but others from the class had already placed their necklaces around the beasts they wanted. It was very easy to choose a dragon, but it was starting to seem to Sora that actually getting one was a different story. The teenagers who successfully obtained their lifelong mate rode their beasts proudly while whipping through the open blue sky.  The parents of those adolescents cheered in joy as their generation of dragon trainers would still continue on.



While it was starting to look like Sora wasn't going to be able to get a dragon this year, there was still one dragon that didn't seem to have parents. The sliver scaled dragon seemed to be the meanest one of them all that was lined up that day. Many students were still trying to get that one to be theirs, but the beast wouldn't stop thrashing and roaring at the top of its lungs. Other teachers and parents were beginning to worry about the safety of the children. As a result, elders tried to reason with it, trying to calm it, before it snapped at one elder. The first offence as many was starting to think.

  The young brunette watched the rapid movements of the mystic beast as he seemed stronger than even the elders trying to calm it. He waited until other students gave up on the cranky animal before thinking just maybe he could take on the challenge. Sadly though, Sora wasn't the only person watching the beautiful beast. Venitas was also watching with determination. Venitas, the older twin by only 6 seconds, quickly ran past Sora with his necklace in hand and slowly watched the still angry beast. Sora didn't have time to think before he witnessed his brother get the black jewelry around the animal's neck while trying to wrap his binding ropes on the scaled animal's wings and mouth.



The animal growled angrily before taking flight, bringing Venitas with him. He yelled while trying to hold on for dear life while they both soared upside down. Venitas was finally reduced to letting go landing in a magic black sphere one of the elders quickly cast to save him. The issue was then realized that this dragon was out to kill and wouldn't be able to be trained. He was now pronounced a rotten egg that hatched somehow.  All elders and fellow teachers started to order the children to get away and seek shelter in the school.


Suddenly, all types of magic had started to fire at the dragon while it moved and soared out of the way trying to avoid the powerful blasts. It wasn't long before the sliver beast was finally struck down and was hurling towards earth at an alarming rate before crashing down hard with to the ground. Sora watched in complete horror as sliver scales flew everywhere. The elders circled the hurt animal like it was evil, before spouting how bad the genes of diamond dragon were. It wasn't enough time before Sora was right in front of the beast trying to defend it from the elders' harsh words.


"Stop it! It's not his fault! He's probably having a bad day, don't say such things! You have always told us to respect the dragons no matter what they do and can do to us! Please! Let me try, let me try to help it!" The teen yelled out almost out of breath as the teachers and elders tried to move the boy. Sora yelled while grabbing onto the beast's horns on its head causing it to slightly calm down. Once noticing it was starting to breathe more softly, Sora leaned further to the sliver dragon and began to question it.



Everyone was suspecting that Sora wouldn't be able to calm the animal down long enough to try and figure out what was wrong with it. It was a saying after all, that sliver dragons were never meant to be tamed. If so, the trainer was highly skilled or just plain suicidal. Even though the odds were stacked against him, Sora still wanted to give it a try. The brunette slowly rubbed the nose of the beast while delicately removing the black jewelry from its neck, and the binding ropes from its mouth and wings.



"Sshh it's okay, I won't hurt you promise…" Sora cooed softly as he slowly backed up allowing the dragon to sit up and shake off the rest of the ropes. The scaly animal glanced around at the still staring older humans before huffing at them loudly, quickly stomping at them to back up. Sora smiled at just how tall the beast was up close, he couldn't help himself from touching its albino stomach giving it a small rub. The small action caused it to look down at Sora before their eyes locked for what seemed like hours. Only then the dragon began to speak mentally, "Watch what you rub human…."



Sora gawked for a good long time before slightly blushing at what he just heard. "I err….sorry about that; I didn't know it was there, I err….." The completely embarrassed teen scratched the back of his head. The dragon rolled his green eyes, before huffing again. Obviously, a wonderful habit it must have learned.


"Why is everyone looking at me like I'm poisonous?"  The giant animal asked while placing his wings back in the resting position. The boy sighed before walking up to it finally, giving it a small rub on its front leg. "Well, you DID just attack us and almost killed my brother over there…They think you're evil, but I don't think so. So, are you having a bad day or is it just that you don't want to be here? Oh, and also can we know your name? It's really rude that we keep calling you sliver dragon…"

  

It took just about a few minutes before the giant animal decided to answer little Sora. "I didn't like how those humans where trying to just tie me down. Secondly, I don't like your bother very much….Thirdly, I'm not evil…for now. Lastly, no I am not having such a great ass time okay? I don't like the summer months, I rather be sleeping in a very cold place right now... and my name is Riku…got that?" The whole time that Sora was listening Venitas was slowly trying to see if he could understand the grunts and growls that were going on. Maybe he could still have a chance while Sora was making peace treaties with the thing. He quietly tried to grab another binding rope to subdue the great beast before his hand was stopped by Leon. The older man began to shake his head 'no' while taking the rope away from the younger male.


Sora nodded before glancing at his elders and teachers. "It's okay, Riku is just not liking what's going on right now." The shocked people that were still standing in the courtyard stared at the boy before glancing at the elders.  One of the head elders walked up to Sora and the now pronounced Riku, offering a small smile. The head elder Eraqus, asked softly. "I'm guessing you can understand Riku here, I'm I right young Sora?" The boy nodded happily making his spikes bounce slightly. Those bouncing spikes caused Riku to stare at them, wondering how the hell he made them do that. Eraqus stared at Riku, "Riku do you accept Sora as your partner or not?"


Riku glanced at the young Sora before yawning. "Whoa, wait a minute?!  Who said I wanted this kid to tame me, ya got to be kidding, this baby?" A brown eyebrow was raising itself on Sora; he was slightly getting highly annoyed of this dragon already. "He says I'm a baby and basically I think he means no, sir…" Eraqus smiled and turned towards the waiting people, elders, parents and guests. He raised his hands high before announcing the great news. "Ladies, gentleman, and creatures great and small, I now present to you the trainer of the first sliver dragon in almost 20 years, Sora Heartnet and his dragon Riku! Please, also give another warm welcome to the other trainers that graduated this year, that will continue our bloodline and protect us from the evil that opposes us! Those who have not been given the blessing of obtaining a dragon, please continue doing your best and better luck next time!"



It took a minute before large amounts of cheers and tears could be heard. This was a moment like no other, and to some it would be a very long and hard journey to get here again. Riku and Sora seemed to be the only ones not really cheering, for they both seemed a bit out of touch with reality. Riku seemed to be dreading having such a little now dubbed master, while Sora updated his fantasy world of how awesome currently today was. It's wasn't to say that everyone was happy, Venitas was bitter. HE wanted the rarest dragon in Hollow Ash, and if it took a little more training, then so be it. Sadly, no one said you had to be fair in doing so…



Thank you for reading the first chapter of a long planned out story. Well it was starting to get planned out when I finally finished birth by sleep. Anyway, I hope you liked it so far.  Please tell me anything that you see wrong with the story, and if you want to be a beta let me know. I need one….lol


Please review and tell me what you think or any questions you may have for me.
