"So...what the heck are you?" Spike asked the shadowy thing. It was a small almost baby size thing vaguely humanoid body structure. It has a round, spherical head with circular, glowing yellow eyes. It also has two long, twisted antennae sprouting out of the top of its head. Each of its hands has three clawed fingers, and its feet are large and lack any discernible digits. With the exception of its eyes, its body was completely black.
Whatever it was it kept moving in an odd/weird way. Spike looked at the two fighter as they attacked this 'heartless'. Spike brought back his attention to the few in front of him. They has an odd movement pace, moving their hand..er..claws like it was jello and looking left to right every few seconds. Spike ready himself as two flatten themselves into a silhouette on the ground, and become a literal shadow. The two rushed towards him as he stood there, the two then jumped out to strike but Spike quickly moved out the way and attacked. Swinging at the two making contacted, they two soon burst to nothing. Spike was about to strike again but one of them got him from behind, forcing him to the ground. Spike was surprised by the strength these things have.
"Okay time to get real." Spike said to himself. Spike began to attack them, luckily most of them didn't get a chance to attack as Spike toss his blade at them.
While Spike tried to take out the others but each time he tried to attack the shadows would flatten themselves before he could duel damage. After a few missed swings ,he was getting furious with this things.
"Just let me hit YOU!" He yelled at which caused the to strike. Spike blocked their attack but was about counter till they went into the ground again. Spike was now annoyed of this.
"Hey Dragonboy, Use your magic." Said the ninja creature. Spike turned to face her and was surprised to see that she and that other one were fighting some similar armor 'heartless' things.
Spike was about to look at the other shadow creature but remembered that he was fighting as well. Quickly as he could he did the same ice and fire slash attack when he fought Twilight before breathing fire at them. They were easily defeated, Spike smiled to himself as they burst to nothing. Spike soon noticed strange yellow orbs the popped out of them, Spike got closer to them and was about to touch it but when his hand got close enough the orbs was adsorb into him. Stunned at what just happen and was about to question it but was soon kicked in the face by one of those soldier things. Spike fell backwards hitting the ground hard on his back, quickly getting up he got a good look at the thing that hit him.
Its muscular forms are clad in a bluish-black body suit bearing a strange heart-like emblem and purple inverted emblems trimmed in gold on the knees. They wear black, silver trimmed shoes that end in spiral toes, silver wristbands, and a silver knight's helm decorated with two angular, eye-like spirals on the front and a yellow stripe at the base of the curled silver plume. Its true behavior comes out on a close examination of their fierce blue and red-tipped claws, and their shadowed faces with bright yellow eyes and toothy maw.
'They look like soldiers.' Spike thought to himself.
Spike got up right before one of the things tried to spin kick him again. Spike dodged its attacked before getting ready for the next one, one of those soldier tried the swipe it claw at him but Spike block it. Jumping back far enough for them to have some distance, Spike quickly brought his hand right back before throwing straight at them. His blade flew straight at them hit each one before returning to him, it seems that these things are stronger than the last ones. Spike looked around him, there was more of the walking...or oddly running around ether attacking him and the two fighters or just running like in panic. Spike ready himself for a long fight only thing he hope is that it can't get worse for him.
(Back in Equestria)
Celestia as pacing back and forth, wondering and worried about Spike.
Where could he be?
Is he alright?
How long has he been a key welder?
Since when was he even one?
Questions were running in her head as she wondered what was going on. She stood in her bedroom waiting for any reports of her missing son, it been two hours since he been gone and Twilight doesn't know where she sent him nor does she. Celestia told herself that Spike well be find but she can't figure out why can't her magic find him ether. She wondered what was going on with those two? She never seen them act let this since Spike started to breath fire and nearly burned down the library by accident. But now the act that just happen not to long age with the fight cause her to question whats been happening during his time in Ponyville. Before she could think the sound of glass cracking was heard in the room, she turned to her desk which the sound was heard from. She walked over to the desk and opened the drawer to find an old picture of to dragon and their purple egg. The picture shows a female white dragon with purple scales and a male green dragon. In between the two was a purple egg, the female dragon hold the egg in her arms while the male dragon smiled at her with joy in his eyes. A creak ran down the male dragon and the egg, a tear ran down her left eye. The memory was happy and sad at the same time, she put the picture frame back in the drawer. She wrapped the tear away before picking up an old book given to her by the most powerful unicorn in Equestria.
"Why didn't I listen to him about this." She said to herself.
A weapon as powerful or more powerful than the Elements themselves. Starswirl wrote in his journal about the weapon and what it will bring along with it. He write everything he could find out about the keyblade from where it came from and how it works. Celestia has kept this a this everypony to not cause any war nor panic. She remember one line that got her attention.
"Those whom parent is a welder might gain the ability to have a keyblade, or is given the rights to one by a decreased welder." The words said in her head.
"But why Spike?" She asked herself. She opened the book to find out more about this. It took a few minutes but she then found a sentence that could shed some light in her mind.
"A Keyblade is a living being that can think on is own, which allows it to chose whom it wants as a master." It read. Celestia looked at the words for a few seconds before continuing to the end where two names of the beings that Starswirl got the information from. The names were strange in pony terms but even stranger was how she felt about one of them.
"Thanks to our new friends from another world for the information of this weapon." It read before given one last sentence.
"But I do feel that something is off with that one welder. He seem very interested in this 'Kingdom Heart', I have no Idea what it is nor do I want to know. I feel that it something that shouldn't be messed with." It read. The two words 'Kingdom Heart' a name she hasn't heard since she was told about it. On the bottom of the journal were the names of the two strange creatures.
Eraqus and Xehanort.
It been nearly three minutes and the heartless hasn't given up the slightest. Spike was getting his butt kick by these soldiers things. After a few missed hits and getting clawed and kicked a few times, his chest began to burn with angry from these thing. When he finally hit one another one spin kick from behind, getting very annoyed he opened his mouth and released a loud roar which caused the heartless to stop and stand in place slightly shaking. Spike stopped intently before unleashing a wave of green fire from his from. The two fighter stood on top of the shop building watching Spike fought off the heartless. The two had to admit that Spike is pretty good at fighting but is lacking at waiting for the right moment to strike. Spike tossed his blade and it span around expanding it's range, Spike looked up to the roof top and noticed that the two fighter were standing on top of the building.
"How the heck did they get up there? No normal pony-er thing can jump that high." Spike thought to himself. Before he could do anything the sky darken. Spike looked up and noticed the that no clouds were in the sky.
'What that heck? There's no cloud in sight....wait a minute?' Spike quickly turned around only to be smacked across the face by a huge or fat looking heartless. Spike was thrown across and hit a wall, lucky for him that his dragon body soften most of the impact but was knot out as he landed face first to the ground. Before the heartless could do more a large blade impaled itself from the back. It burst to dust as a heart flouted straight to the sky.
The creature placed his blade on his back as the heartless disappear. The creature turns his friends that walk towards him.
"About time you showed up, Cloud." he ninja said to the large sword men. Cloud just looked away before turning back to them.
"Who's this dragon?" He asked them. Both shrugged not really knowing who he was.
"Well whoever his is, he wields a keyblade." Cloud said to them pointing out the obvious thing. Leon looked at the blade for a second before returning back to the two.
"Yuffie, take the dragon to Merlin's place and Cloud go scan the area for any more heartless." After that, the three went off to do their thing.
"You summoned me." Asked a mysterious figure.
"Yes, my guards have reported that you were teaching clots and fillies dark magic and not just to unicorns." She said to the mysterious figure.
"Dark magic is such a strong term for magic control from darkness." He said to her. The princess looked at him frowning.
"You do know darkness is dangerous?" She said to him.
"Yes but the night princess seems to be more willing to see what to does." He said smiling through his black cloak. The princess looked at him angrily. She then got up from her throne.
"Why would she?" She asked the cloaked being. The cloaked being looked at her before showing are his shape teeth.
"Luna feels abandoned by her only family, and the ponies never seem to stay awake during her beautiful nights. She may seem like it doesn't brother her but we both know she hating every second of it, Celestia." The cloaked being said. Celestia raised her right arm before a blaze of fire surrounded her hand.
A blade appeared, a keyblade in fact. She glared at him before disappearing and reappearing right in front of him. She stood about the same height as him.
"She would never turn to the darkness." Celestia with a burning gaze. The hooded figure laughed. A black portal open and he slowly getting sucked in before telling her one last thing.
"Never say never princess." He said before the portal closed leaving her with her thoughts.
'Luna will never turn to the darkness...would she?' she asked herself.
