(Note:This story takes place directly after the events described in Arc II of The Multiverse Chronicles. Well, at least it starts there. It might turn into a roleplay-If that's the case, this will end up being backstory FOR the roleplay. Note that I mean the events described in Arc II-For those who haven't figured it out, The Multiverse Chronicles is a frame story:With a narrator in the present telling us the story of the past. This is the past the narrator is referring to.)

Once upon a time, the world was nothing but pure Light. Light was within us all, and it grew itself, making the world larger and larger. We all lived in peace, and helped make some of these wonderful worlds.

But then came The Fall. For some reason, the Cascade just.. stopped. The creation of new worlds slowed tremendously, and we.. transformed. And not in a good way. We lost our connection to magic. And to make matters worse, the Heartless, creatures of Darkness began to appear, in an attempt to make the Light expire, and with it, the world.

The reason? Greed. Greed over the Light, and conflicting interests about what kind of world should be placed next. Fighting over Light brought them all with Darkness instead, filling in the cracks in their hearts. The Darkness acted contrary to the Light, hampering its influence and spread, and soon manifested into the creatures we call The Heartless.

Three realms now exist in this near-infinite disk, when there was just one-One ruled by Light, one by Darkness, and one in the middle. The laws on Entropy predict that the Realm of Twilight will soon be the only one left, but the invasions of Heartless hint that Darkness may even be the victor. This is further evident by the fact that Heartless have been steadily corrupting people, turning them into Heartless themselves!

Understandably, this worried everyone (at least everyone who wasn't corrupted by darkness). So they began to search for a way to combat this. This culminated with a very bright person, known as the Master of Masters. His actual name, known only to few, was Gideon.

He went through many, many possible ideas, until finally stumbling onto a working idea-The Keyblade. While our bodies are physical, our hearts are still magical. By drawing power from the Heart, the Keyblade acts as a "proxy" to the magical parts of the world, allowing us to indirectly use magic, to bring back the potential of magic. This was an ingenious invention, and is important today in fighting against the Heartless. And since the power comes from the Heart, thus came the mantra-May your heart be your guiding key.

But just having Keyblades isn't enough. We still need a method for gathering Keyblades. Which is why Gideon assembled six people, to help him protect the Light.

He also used his knowledge to simulate the world's future.. And with it, came bad news. The end would come with the Heartless winning.. When Darkness succeeds, the Light will expire.

So Gideon decided to have five of the six Foretellers form a Union, and get people to join said unions. Each one of them having a vital role to deal with the Heartless threat. As long as they all do what they're supposed to do, the world will continue to live.

And the sixth? Gideon gave the sixth a box, was told not to open it.. And that was that. Nobody knows what is in that box, except for Gideon himself-Though there are rumors that the sixth apprentice, Luxu, also knows what is inside the box.

This is the story of the Five Unions, and their fight against the Heartless.
