The two started at one another for a time, there was a tension in the air. Minutes passed, neither one wanted to talk and break the ice. Twilight gave a small cough, breaking the tension. “So who are you?” Huxley asked.
“Names Zeke. I’ve been looking for you.”
“Why?”
“Well, when you find out you’re not the only one to escape the Mayans…”
“You are another one of the once to escape?”
“In the flesh… er, armor.”
“So what do you what?”
“Before we get to that, how much have you done since you escaped?”
“Hold on.” Huxley said remembering Twilight was here “Let's talk somewhere else.”
“Why don’t want me to hear your conversation about the world's you’ve been to?” She asked
“Why bother, I’ve been filling her in on all that you haven’t’.”
“What?”
“Why bother with all the cloak and dagger? We are not from here, and they should know about all the dangers that go on among the world's. I’ve been personally acquainted with how bad things can get.”
“I have my reasons.” Huxley said as he pulled out his Keyblade.
“Now don’t be so rude, that’s not til later.” Zeke said, summoning his X-blade. “Or shall we get to the fight you obviously want?”
Huxley smirked under his hood as he mumbled, Please work as he shouted “Stop!” and cast a stop spell before Zeke froze in place.
“What the heck was that for!?” Twilight screamed.
“No time to explain.” Huxley said as he opened a dark corridor and pushed Zeke in “I’ve got to get this Mary Sue out of here.”
“Mary sue like the book term?” Twilight asked as the dark corridor closed on her. “Great!” She said as she decided to write to Celestia that she learned that Huxley was from another world.
***
The Dark Corridor opened as Zeke fell out of it with Huxley coming behind him. “Hopefully he won't be able to follow me from here.” He said as Zeke started to move.
“Gah!” Zeke yelled as he came back out of being frozen in time. He laughed. “You cheeky devil, buy a guy a drink before you cast magic on him.”
Huxley looked around, seeing something nearby “I would If you weren't a Sith Lord.” He said as he ran away and Temple guards began to surround Zeke.
“Oh, you sly devil… so I have to be the bad guy here then? Fine.” Zeke snapped his fingers, and two Large Body Heartless appeared. “Knock em out.” Zeke commanded as he walked up to Huxley. “Now, let’s have a chat.”
“You can summon Heartless!?” Huxley asked as he ran towards a Large Body and destroyed it with a swing of his Keyblade.
“Wanted to go with the classics.” As Zeke chased Huxley down the halls, he summoned various Heartless to distract the guards and attempted to slow Huxley down.
As Huxley ran, he passed Anakin and Obi wan and before he passed them he said, “Found the source of the Heartless.” He said as they walked in front of Zeke.
“You have caused enough problems for the Jedi order you will stop!” Obi wan said as Zeke just ran passed them.
“Might wanna deal with the little guys running around your H.Q before me guys.” Zeke said before he was being held up in the air by a passing Yoda. “Wow… Wait a minute…” Zeke focused on Yoda for a while, and noticed how he was looking at the X-blade. “Take a picture.”
“Ancient your weapon is.” He said “Seen it before I have, long ago.”
Huxley returned to Yoda, seeing Zeke floating in the air. “Not so powerful now, are you?” He taunted as Obi wan looked at him.
“Don’t taught the Sith Lord.” He said as a Temple guard came with the cuffs that kept Huxley locked up the first time he was here.
“Never claimed to be powerful, just… lucky at best.” Zeke snapped his fingers again, and a swarm of Shadow Heartless came from dark portals all around the hallway.
Yoda dropped Zeke as he pulled out his lightsaber. “Fight them we must.” Huxley grabbed the Handcuffs and went after Zeke.
“Hey get back here!” Anakin said as a shadow jumped on him.

After a short run Huxley saw Zeke riding on his Keyblade “Oh right we can do that.” He said as he threw his Keyblade in the air and getting a ride similar to Tarras “Just like riding a bike... now if only I knew how to ride a bike” He said, chasing after Zeke.
“How about we settle this like Keyblade wielders!” Zeke flew into a portal on the ground, and Huxley followed. When they came out, they were surrounded by tall buildings in the night, followed soon by rainfall. “Recognize that skyscraper?”
“Isn’t this The Organisations world?” Huxley asked as he realized that the castle that the Organisation XIII held up in wasn’t there.
“The World That Never Was. Feel like home? Choose less joke worthy clothes next time.”
“Hey! These help against the darkness.” Huxley retorted.
“So does my armor. Now, can I ask a question?” Zeke jumped off his glider, and disbanded his armor. “Unarmed, see?”
“Yeah until I come close then Bam! You kill me” Huxley said not trusting him.
“Now, remember this, who gave us these powers and Keyblades?”
“God?” Huxley asked confused about why he would ask that.
“Exactly, and what was the quota we had to meet on ‘doomsday’ to get them?”
“Be peaceful.” He said “But you are the one who came to my world, semily with a grudge despite the fact I’ve never met you.”
“Cause I’m a little mad. When I first came looking for you I waited most of the night at those ruins in the Everfree and you were a no show, despite the recent litter you left.”
“So all this is because I left litter?” Huxley said, not getting it.
“You… are an idiot. I’m mad cause I was wrong. I learned how to track at a young age and you weren't where the trail led. Where did you go?”
“Olympus coliseum and the star wars world.” Huxley answered.
“In the same day?”
“No, thats where I went, not in the same day, that's the worlds I went to.”
“Well look, I can look passed the whole making me out as a Sith lord crap, but I have a favor to ask.”
“What is it?” Huxley asked.
“What do you know about Emblem Heartless?”
“They were made by either Xehanort or Ansem the wise.”
Zeke just gave a blank star at Huxley. “You… no, that’s not even close. They are made from a person's heart being lost into darkness, that darkness feeding off the heart and given form. Look, we can debat over your clear distrust of me, but story short, I need help to deal with Core. The first born Emblem Heartless.”
“What? The first emblem Heartless?”
“Turns out he thinks one of us, as in me or him, are gonna have to duke it out over control of the Heartless. Personally I don’t use them for anything other than combat practice, but he IS the reason stars go out in the night. We need to beat him, then find his Nobody.”
“So basicly the second Xehanort”
“... No… Core and Xehanort are two different people. Core is from when all the worlds were still one. Xehanort was born generations later. If we beat his Heartless and his Nobody gets the heart back, then he’ll be a regular person again.”
“So why do we want to return him to a human?” Huxley asked, still not getting it.
“Cause I’ve seen a world that was destroyed by a survivor of the Keyblade War, Nobodies capturing and killing the inhabitants, millions of people gone! If I can turn him human again, then I know I can bring back everyone that was lost.”
“Okay that make sense, so why did you fill Twilight in on the state of the worlds? The games make it clear why you don’t just go telling people there are other worlds.”
“Cause this isn’t a game, this is our reality now! God could have given the X-blade to any of the other humans he spared, but Core said I was the only one to be given it. No idea why, but I need to prove that I am worthy of it. Having the X-blade doesn’t just mean power, or perfection. It means balance in the heart and the worlds. I am going to make sure I can do whatever it takes to keep balance.”
“Fair point, I’ll consider helping you If it turns out I’m not homeless when I return to my world.”
“Why would you be homeless?”
“I’m literally on the edge of Twilights nerves and her realising that me and Celestia have been keeping stuff like this she may say ‘screw it’ and kick me out.”
“If it was an order from Celestia she wouldn’t dare. Her fault is her loyalty to her teacher.”
“Still, there Is a chance that she may just write to Celestia that she wants to kick me out.”
“If that happens then I’ll find you a new place to live…. Oh crap!”
“What, you realized you can’t return the Star Wars world?”
“What, no. I remembered I need to check back in on Rainbow, I left her racing… well, herself.” Zeke pulled out the X-blade and opened a gateway, jumping in quickly.
I hate jumping into those things without the glider or my armor, but I did leave without even checking on her. When the portal spat me out, I rolled around on a wood floor before hitting a wall. “Ouch.”
“Zeke, you alright?!” I heard Twilight say. Oh, so I’m back in her library.
“Yeah, hey, do me a favor and make sure you let Huxley just stay here… like forever, that would be great, now I gotta go.” I blurted out as I ran out the door.
It didn’t take me long to find the two Rainbow’s racing against each other. “Rainbow!” I yelled, causing my Rainbow dash to stop. “We gotta go.”
“But I was so close to winning!” I gave her a look. “Fine. Later… uh, me.” SHe said to the human Rainbow as I opened a portal home and we went back to my Equestria.
Now I know Huxley doesn't completely trust me, but I know he’ll be able to help with what comes later… did he have to be so head strong though?
