//------------------------------// // Memory of The Past 2 Awakening and the Fight Against Discord // Story: A Key in Equestria // by Kamen rider yokai //------------------------------// It has been a month since I appeared in equestria and I had just settled down for the night. As I fell asleep I suddenly had the feeling of sand. (Cue sanctuary HD remix) I opened my eyes to see I'm at a Beach and looked around before seeing what looked like keyblades shoot past me from behind and turned only to suddenly find myself at the keyblade graveyard where xehanort and xemnas stood before they vanished leaving a single vortex and I charged grabbing a keyblade I never saw before and jumped through finding myself back in equestria only there was a guy that looked like Riku from Dream Drop Distance that waved as we got ready to fight Heartless and Dream Eaters with Nobodies. When suddenly a guardian from that game destiny appeared with some guy with a Omnitrix and a guy looking like Gilgamesh. The five of us charged the hoard but when I slashed I suddenly find myself back on that beach without a weapon when suddenly I split into multiple versions of me dressed in the drive forms. I looked to each of them as they pulled out keyblades and nodded to me. For some reason I smirked and pulled out that odd keyblade as we pointed them into the sky and when I blinked found myself jumping out a vortex fighting what seemed to be vanitas while everyone I met so far fought and I managed to drive vanitas back before suddenly what looked like master xehanort appeared and fought along side us in fighting the hoard of monsters now joined by unversed. Suddenly during a lull in the battle I saw the clouds part to show Kingdom Hearts itself with Ansem seeker of darkness and Xemnas before it looking down at us. I felt the ground rumble and fell back but  instead of the ground I found myself falling in the sky and I found myself reaching my hand out to my ... comrades I guess as they reached for me before I suddenly closed my eyes feeling like I was sinking in water. (End sanctuary) 'What was that' I heard what seemed to be my voice echo. 'Was that a dream of the future or was that something hidden in my heart?' 'I want answers to this' 'It's all a matter of lining the pieces up together' Suddenly I flipped as I opened my eyes finding myself standing on what looked like darkness and on reflex took a step back. I held up a arm at the sudden bright light and heard what sounded like wings. When I lowered my arm I saw doves fly around me and vanish. I was now standing on a stained glass platform with a image of me and surrounding me was the symbols of the drive forms. In portraits near my head was the five people I saw plus the princesses. I felt my eyes widen knowing what this place was. "This is! Can it be? Is this the station of awakening" I asked in disbelief. I walked to the center of the plate form suddenly as pedestals rose showing a sword, a staff and a shield. "Definitely the place. Better get used to it. I know what to choose here" I said remembering the game. "I choose the power of the guardian and give up the rod" I said clearly having made my choice. The shield floated over as the platform shattered. I fell to another station showing the Omnitrix holder with similar portraits to mine he just didn't have mine nor the other kingdom hearts people. He had Gilgamesh, the princesses, a group I remembered as the mane six, and Chrysalis. I gripped the shield and gave it a practice swing. Suddenly shadows rose and I got ready. I used the edge of the red and black shield to slash them and I also threw it like a boomerang to defeat them. They dropped yellow diamond shaped items I recognized as munny the universal currency of Kingdom Hearts. I gathered them and found myself looking at me in valor form just across from me. "Nice job you definitely have the determination for this" said valor me. "Your me" I said shocked. "I'm a manifestation of you. You passed a test on your fighting skills so you now can unlock me just be careful of anti he's not going to let you control that form easy" said Valor. "Before I go to the next area who is this guy" I asked. "Just someone you will meet in the future that's all I'm saying" said Valor. He suddenly turned transparent and fuzed with me. With that a bright light shown and I found myself on a station showing Gilgamesh with his portraits being a girl looking like the main character from gravity rush, the guy from the last station and oddly just Luna. Suddenly dusks formed before me. Dusks are humanoid but were pretty much white jumpsuits with blue lines on the side and no actual features shown. All but the jaw of teeth and the Nobody insignia. I readied my shield taking a cautious stance. Unlike Heartless the Nobodies had their minds and thus I need to out wit them. With a plan in mind I reacted sliding behind them and while they were confused I slashed with my shield taking out one while the other four spun around. I blocked a strike and ducked down before I threw my weapon taking out two and on instinct summoned it back. With only two left I had to be more careful. Than I recalled a tactic  from another video game that would help out. I spun the shield making it blur and than used the spinning edge to knock one into the air and jumped after it and bashed it down. I than did a overhead slash on the last one. Both defeated I gained the munny they had and also three potions. "Nice strategy there guess you are worthy of Wisdom after all" said another me but more intellect sounding. "You must be my logic huh Wisdom. From what you said I passed your test" I said. "Yes indeed your good at thinking on the fly but the next one is going to test your skills. Use my power wisely" said Wisdom fusing with me. A chest appeared and I tapped it to receive a scroll. I placed it in my pack and was teleported to the next one which was the riku guy with only Luna and that xehanort lookalike plus the spirit dream eaters. If I knew the orders of the drives correctly this is master's test. "Glad you can make it I will get to the point I'm here to test your hand to hand combat skills just leave the shield near that door and we can get started" said Master. "Might be fun anyway I thought you would have tested me with unversed of something" I said thankful for the break. "Nah those are anti's I just want to test your technique" said Master. I filed that away for later. I placed my shield down and we got into our martial arts stances. Me I went with fox style while Master went with tiger. I took a breath to center myself and nodded. Master charged with a punch but I sidestepped and as his fist went by my head I quickly grabbed his wrist and judo flipped him. He twisted around and as one we struck with punches but at the last second I tilted my head out of the way and struck Master in the face then grabbed his outstretched arm and tossed him around to daze him before I jumped and dropped kicked him in the gut. "Well done you passed. Good luck with the last two" said Master before he fused with me and the door to the next platform glowed before I found myself at the Xehanort station where it was just him and the riku look alike. "Well this should be interesting" I said as Nightmare Dream Eaters appeared. I took a deep breath and charged with slashes to a bat like Dream Eater and spun throwing it at the remainder before I tossed my shield like captain america and destroyed them. A red glow covered me and I felt stronger. "Congrates you managed to pass this test be careful anti has a lot harder test" said Final before he fused with me. I took a deep breath and went up the stairs that appeared before I found myself in a new platform it showed the guardian from destiny with his portraits being Chrysalis, the princesses, the mane six, Discord, Sombra and Spike. Unversed rose and I quickly took up my shield and fought as best I could. I had to rely on instinct this time to fight them and soon defeated them and blocked a slash from anti itself. "Anti... my own darkness!" I said pushing it back. Anti resembled me with a shroud of shadows hiding it's features sans glowing yellow eyes. I knew the truth about this form. That he is actually my darker self. If I had to control that form I got to prove I can master my own darkness. "I won't let my darkness rule me anti. I know full well darkness isn't evil nor good but how it's used is! You maybe a corrupted version of me but I will make sure that this world won't be devoured! You hear me" I shouted and charged it and slashed only I was no longer holding the dream shield but a key shaped sword that I recognized as two becomes one. That meant that was my default keyblade. With that anti became vapor that entered me. Suddenly a ramp formed and I went up it to find myself on a new platform that had a shadowed out figure standing on it. With a turn it stepped into the light. "Nice job making it here I am your final test but I guess it's not needed anymore your keyblade has already manifested to you. I am known as Holy the opposite of anti. As you can guess I'm your light. When you mastered your darkness and proved your point you passed my test as well. You kept your heart in perfect harmony uses my power and anti's wisely. If you end up letting one get stronger just know that the light can blind as well as darkness" said a green clad version of me. I nodded and he fuzed with me making the place light up and I woke the next day with a gasp. I looked to my hand and clenched it summoning my keyblade. "Two becomes one isn't my keyblade, it's Roxas' own I need one that fit's me" I said looking at the mix of oathkeeper and oblivion. I took off the keychain and pulled out my keychain crafting kit and soon I had a crescent moon keychain with the moon made of a clear transparent silver crystal I found near the castle outskirts. With it I placed it on the keyblade creating what was soon to be known as nocturne. I dismissed it and walked out after getting ready. The princesses and I went out of the Forrest and quickly found discord who was munching on some black seeds and offered some to the two before spilling some. He noticed me and gave a hum. "Well now this is interesting you got a unknown creature with you. I can sense quite a magic in him" said discord and he chuckled as the princesses got ready to fight him but before I could react he snapped his fingers making them seemed greyed out. Celestia seemed to have gotten drunk as sh was wobbling and acting the opposite of her self by acting like a kid. But what worried me was Luna. She was going on about how no one appreciates her and that she was not finding life worth living. I quickly threw out a hand casting a spell that put her to sleep. "Discord you have just made me mad" I said with anger in my voice. I felt my temper flare as I summoned my keyblade. "What the who are you" asked discord wide eyed seeing I summoned a sword out of thin air. "I am James! Descendent of seventeen generations of kings of my world and friend to the sisters. And you just made my first friend in this world suicidal! For that I'm taking you down" I said as my emerald eyes glinted as I pointed the keyblade at discord and shot a fire spell. The discorded Celestia hid behind the unconscious Luna and watched as the fight went on as now I was constantly tossing my keyblade at Discord only to summon it back if it missed and seeing I needed to get discord in one place I casted magnet before I tossed the keyblade. Discord was shocked to suddenly be trapped revolving around a black orb of gravity and was being repeatedly struck by the keyblade which broke his concentration on his magic returning the princesses to normal and Celestia blinked as she remembered what happened and woke Luna while I still fought discord who was still having trouble fending me off. This allowed the sisters to locate the elements of harmony and I jumped back and a confused discord was surprised by the rainbow blast that turned him to stone. "That's it no more making people kill themselves for my amusement I will stick to pranks!" Shouted discord finding he didn't want to be on my bad side after all. "Well that's one way of controlling my temper" I said exhausted as my anger left me and I fell back into a sitting position. Around us the twisted landscape became plains as Discord's magic was removed. "James thank you for helping us on behalf of my sister I would like to ask you to be part of our family if it wasn't for you she would have done something that would have saddened me for the rest of my life" said Celestia. Luna nodded in agreement as she helped me up. "Yes sister is right you helped me a lot more today in this event and I would like it if you became our brother" said Luna with a smile. "Sure since I'm going to be here a while though don't come to me for politics I'm not the best at that" I said surprised. "Hey your currently two years older than me so your now my older brother" said Luna remembering when my birthday was. "Great I'm the middle child again oh well nice to have something familiar at least" I said with a laugh. "Though we didn't know you were royalty as well" said Celestia. "You forgot I was of royal blood! Than again with how I act and how I look I guess it's easy to forget that" I said shocked and making Celestia blush in embarassment recalling I did tell them that. Luna giggled at the exchange as we all headed home with plans to rebuild in mind. I smiled as I dismissed my keyblade and followed them to the castle and quickly got some rest. Discord was good at dodging and my anger took a lot out of me. (End chapter)
