The Girl That Never Was

by Onomonopia

Dive Into the Heart

Xion knew about diving into a heart thanks to the Maestro and what little information about it he had planted in her mind. But other than how to begin one, Xion had no idea what to do after that. So when she opened her eyes and found herself floating in the middle of a black void, she began to panic slightly.

'Keep a hold of your senses, Xion. We're not dead and we're not in danger. At least, not in any immediate danger.' Xion had never been so relived to hear Sombra's voice, so when she looked down at her hand to see his horn there she felt a small bit of comfort wash over her.

"So managed to follow me even in here? What do I have to do to get away from you?" Xion asked with a smile, before she began to look around. Utter blackness and dark clouds rumbled around where she floated, preventing her from seeing anything for miles. Then something within her pocket began to glow and she reached inside, pulling out the four keychains that she had gathered from the Ambassadors of Harmony.

The moment she pulled out the keychains, a radiant beam of light emerged where she was facing and Xion's eyes widened as she saw herself staring down at a giant circle with stained glass making up the surface of the circle. The glass was formed into images, images that Xion recognized.

In the center of the circle was an image of princess Twilight, with her eyes closed and wings spread in a way that almost made her look divine. Around Twilight were smaller glass circles with images of the other Ambassadors within them, each of them with their eyes closed as well and a smile upon their faces. Below Twilight and her friends were six radiant beams of rainbow energy, five of which were glowing in unison with the keychains that Xion wielded. She summoned her keyblade and found that Applejack's keychain was glowing as well. She unclipped it from the key and held it in her hand, returning the keyblade to the Kingdom Key.

"If I had to wager a guess, these five keychains will be important to unlocking Twilight's heart," Xion said to Sombra, before a smile crossed her face. "In fact, you might say that they will be...key."

'Ugh.'

Xion then pocketed the keychains once more and returned her gaze to the stained glass circle, the center of Twilight's heart. She then placed her feet behind, able to feel herself standing on something that wasn't there. With a kick Xion propelled herself towards the glass circle, yet to her surprise she didn't find herself getting any closer. The surprises continued for as Xion felt herself continue to move, Twilight's made out of stained glass began to appear around Xion.

'Fly into the Twilight's. I have a feeling that's what we need to do,' Sombra advised Xion, who glanced at the horn with surprise. 'I don't know how I know that, but it feels like there's a voice in the back of my head telling me what to do. And the voice says to fly into them to unlock the way.'

"Alright, if you're sure that's what we should do," Xion said. She pointed the Kingdom Key forward and dove towards the glass, weaving through the air so that it put her on course with the glass Twilights. She braced herself as she dove right into one of them, but instead of slamming into the Twilight it simply vanished in a cloud of purple. Yet when Xion looked towards the glass, she believed that it had gotten a little closer.

Now realizing that Sombra's plan was actually going to work, Xion began to spin, dive wand soar through the darkness into as many of the Twilight's as she could. With each Twilight she flew into, the glass circle grew closer and closer, until, after flying into at least twenty of the Twilight's, Xion extended her feet and felt herself land on solid ground.

"So this is the center of Twilight's heart," Xion whispered to herself as she began to look around.

'This can't be the center of her heart. Where's the blood and the veins and all the stuff that a normal heart has?' Sombra asked Xion, but instead of answering Xion glanced at the five glowing images of the Ambassadors. She reached into her pockets and pulled out the five keychains once more, looking between the keychains and the images.

Xion walked towards the first glowing image, the one of Fluttershy, and placed the butterfly keychain upon the image. A beam of light erupted from the image and the keychain floated up in the beam of light, until it was eye level with Xion. Then a circle of light appeared behind Xion, who spun around to see a being in a yellow cloak appear behind her, a cloak that was like the light version of her Organization cloak with pink highlights. The being then lifted their hooded face before extending their hand, summoning the Forest Melody into their grasp.

Xion narrowed her eyes before she took up her fighting stance, holding the Kingdom Key in front of her before the two began to circle each other. The cloaked being mirrored her stance perfectly, before they lunged forward towards Xion. Xion parried the first strike before lashing out with her own attack, which was blocked by the cloak being before they backed away.

Xion pressed the attack, swinging with precise attacks that the cloaked being managed to parry and block each time. The being thrust at Xion, who spun to the side to avoid being struck, before the being of light went low and tried to sweep out Xion's feet. Xion hopped over the attack before she threw out a kick, catching the being of light in the chest and staggering them for a moment. With one quick slash of her blade Xion cleaved through the cloaked being, who stood still for a moment before they vanished. Fluttershy's keychain floated back over to where her image was, before the light died down some and the chain simply floated in place.

Pinkie's keychain was the next to begin glowing and a moment later a cloaked being in pink appeared beside Xion, who had to duck underneath of a strike from the Happiest Days. Xion parried the next blow before she summoned a ball of fire at the end of her blade, which she launched towards the being in pink. The being flipped out of the way and let out a laugh, one that mirrored Pinkie's perfectly.

The cloaked being resumed the attack, springing around Xion who had to constantly move to keep up with the cloaked being. Xion threw out a few attacks, but each time she found that the cloaked being was able to easily bounce around her. Xion then glanced down at the ground before an idea came to her and she pointed her blade towards the glass around her. A blast of ice emerged from the end of her keyblade and froze the floor solid, right before the cloaked being landed upon the ice.

The cloaked being slipped the moment they touched down, resulting in them flipping a few times before they crashed to the floor. Xion was on them in a second, slashing through them and creating a slash of light through their body. The cloaked being seemed to sag its shoulders and sigh, before it vanished in a bunch of confetti and Pinkie's keychain retuned to its image.

Rarity's was the next to form a being, a being in a white cloak with purple highlights. The being reached out its hand and summoned the Eye of the Needle, before it slammed the tip of the blade into the glass and summoned numerous gemstones that floated around it. The being then pointed its key towards Xion and a moment later the gemstones came flying towards the girl.

Xion responded to the gemstone attack by creating a barrier around herself, gritting her teeth as each impact by the gemstones cracked the barrier further and further. The cloaked being then twirled its key over its head and returned the gemstones to its side, before circling them in preparation of another attack. Knowing that her barrier wouldn't be able to survive another attack, Xion shattered her barrier and sent shards of it flying towards the cloaked being. The gemstones circled around the being and protected it from the shattered shards, but the gemstones also cut off its vision from Xion.

Xion saw that the cloaked being couldn't see her and took that chance to move. She kicked off the ground with all of the might in her legs, propelling herself into the air and over where the cloaked being was standing. The gems moved from the cloaked beings path and allowed it to see that Xion was no longer where she had been standing. The cloaked being looked to its left and right, before realization dawned on it and it snapped its head skyward just in time to see Xion hurtling towards it.

The gems had started to move to try to protect the being, but Xion had been falling too fast and she slipped by the gemstones with ease. Xion landed right in front of the cloaked being and slashed down with her keyblade, cleaving through the center of the being. The moment she had struck the gemstones shattered into pebbles and the cloaked being fell apart into a pile of thread, with the keychain returning to the light emitting from Rarity's image.

An explosion of rainbow light erupted from Rainbow Dash's image and a moment later a cloaked being with all of the colors of the rainbow making up its cloak came rocketing towards Xion, with the Rumbling Storm clutched in its grasp. Xion barely manage to throw herself out of the way of the attacking being before it rocketed by her, sailing into the air with a rainbow trail behind it.

Xion snapped her head to the sky to see that the rainbow being was descending towards her once more, thunder crackling around its body and key. Xion parried the strike to the side, only to feel lightning lance up her body after she deflected the strike. The rainbow being came to a stop in the air and hoisted the keyblade over their head, bringing down barrages of lightning strikes around Xion. Xion had to dodge roll out of the way of each lightning strike, with each roll moving her closer and closer to the being.

The moment she was close enough Xion filled her keyblade with the power of wind before she hurled it towards the flying being, who didn't realize what was about to happen before the keyblade struck it in the chest. The extra effect of the wind blew the being off balance and they came crashing to the ground, where it struggled to push itself back up to its feet.

Xion was upon it a moment later and she slashed through the beings chest, getting a crackle of lightning to echo throughout the darkness. The rainbow being rose to its feet and hurled its keyblade to the ground in a fit of frustration, before the being vanished in a flash of thunder and Rainbow's keychain returned itself to where her image lay. Xion sighed before she turned her head towards the image of Applejack, waiting for the next combatant.

Just as she had expected, a moment later a burst of red light emerged from Applejack's image and an orange being with yellow highlights stepped out, wielding the Red Delicious. The cloaked being then raced right up towards Xion and struck down at her with the keyblade, forcing Xion to raise her blade to try to block the strike. The impact created from the Red Delicious striking the Kingdom Key nearly made Xion's knees buckle, with her unable to believe the amount of force that she had barely withstood.

The moment the cloaked being drew their keyblade back once more, Xion hurled herself backwards and rolled away from the orange being. The being chased after Xion, but Xion managed to stay ahead of it using her speed and acrobatic abilities. Xion dashed, rolled and leapt over each and every strike, knowing better than to get into a physical fight with the cloaked being.

Realizing that she couldn't evade forever, Xion came to a screeching halt and narrowed her eyes, watching as the cloaked being rushed towards her once more. The being hoisted its key over its head and slashed down at Xion with all of its might, preparing to cleave the girl clean in half. Yet the moment the being struck, Xion leapt back slightly to avoid the strike, watching as the being crashed through the glass at where she had been standing. The keyblade was buried halfway into the glass and the cloaked being began to struggle to pull it out.

With her opponent open to attack Xion lunged forward and formed a circle of lightning around her body, before dashing forward and slashing through the cloaked being. The being let out a moan before it let go of its key, before falling to its knee. The being then looked back at Xion before it nodded its head, vanishing into a flurry of leaves a moment later. Applejack's keychain returned to Applejack's image and floated in place, joining the other four in the light.

'Think that's all of them?' Sombra asked, finally breaking the silence between the two.

"Doubt it," Xion replied before she turned her head towards the image of Twilight, which had just started to glow. Xion then lifted her head towards the sky to see a single keychain floating down from above, a keychain with a violet, six sided star on the end of it. The keychain was then swallowed up in a light that emerged from Twilight's image, before another being in a violet cloak appeared before Xion. The cloaked being then did as the other did and extended its hand, summoning forth its keyblade.

The keyblade had a guard that looked like two alicorn wings, with them coming together at the guard with a crown. The blade was a violet horn that held magic within it and the teeth of the blade was the same violet star that resided on the end of the keychain. The cloaked being then took up a fighting stance and Xion did the same.

The being pointed their key towards Xion and unleashed a giant beam of magic towards Xion, who spun to the side to avoid the giant beam of energy. Xion returned fire with a blast of fire, but to her amazement the cloaked being swatted the blast of fire to the side. It then twirled its key and slammed the tip of it into the ground, sending out waves of earth that came crashing towards Xion.

'Seems that this one has all of Twilight's magical power!' Sombra roared as Xion hurled herself to the side to avoid being crushed under tones of stones. 'And from the looks of things, you can't match her spirit in a magical battle without tapping into the darkness or light within you. And since you can't do that...'

"Got it. Get in close and finish this off. I can handle that," Xion said before she raced forward, ducking and weaving past a dozen fireballs to try and close the distance. With a yell Xion spun and slashed out at the cloaked being with all of her might, yet a barrier of light constructed itself around the cloaked being to deflect Xion's strike. The barrier then detonated and sent dozens of shards flying towards Xion, who wasn't fast enough to avoid all of them.

Xion cried out in pain as the shards cut through her body and the pain forced Xion to drop to one knee and clutch at some of her wounds. The cloaked being sensed the moment of weakness and lunged towards Xion, but as it got close Xion snickered before she grabbed Sombra's horn and chucked it at the being. Sombra's horn bounced off of the hood of the cloaked being and got it to snap its head to see what had struck it, which resulted in it lowering its guard for a moment.

Xion roared before she drove her keyblade forward, driving the tip of it through the chest of the cloaked being and through to the other side. The cloaked being then slowly moved its head and looked down at the blade that was sticking out of its chest, before it looked up at the panting face of Xion. Xion then gave the cloaked being a smile, which made the cloaked being nod its head in response.

The being then reached down and unclipped its keychain from the end of its blade, before it held it out to Xion. Xion reached up at took the keychain with the violet star on the end, before watching the cloaked being vanish into a flurry of book pages. Xion rose back up to her feet and cast cure upon herself, soothing the wounds. She then looked towards the image of Twilight, which now how a keyhole in the chest of the images chest.

Xion walked over to the keyhole and pointed the end of the Kingdom Key towards the keyhole, creating a sphere of light at the end of her key. She then fired a single beam of light into the keyhole and the sounds of something being unlocked could be heard, getting Xion to sigh in relief as she heard the sound.

"I think we're done here. Time to go," Xion said to Sombra, before she extended her hand towards the five other keychains that floated around her. The keychains flew to her hand and she placed all of them within her pockets, before glancing down at the keychain that Twilight's spirit had given her.

'I think this means that she trusts you,' Sombra said to Xion, who nodded in agreement. She then pocketed Twilight's keyblade as well, before turning around to see a pair of crystal doors standing behind her. Xion walked towards the doors and grasped each handle, before using her might to pull open the doors. A wall of light greeted her and she could feel the real world calling to her. So with one last look at the glass images behind her, Xion stepped through the doorway and left the heart.

No. I

'XION!'

Xion groaned weakly as she slowly felt her consciousness return to her, blinking her eyes as a blinding light greeted her sight. She raised a hand to shield her sight as she slowly pushed herself up to a sitting position. Her vision was a little bit blurry and she couldn't see what was going on around her that well, but she was vaguely aware of the fact that there was a numerous amount of ponies all crowded together in the corner.

'XION! Turn around!'

Xion heard the fear and desperation in Sombra's voice and by the time she had risen to her feet her keyblade was already in her hands. She spun around to see what had caused Sombra to be so terrified, only for a metal fist to strike her in the side of her head. Xion let out a cry of pain as she staggered backwards, clutching at the side of her head with one hand while pointing her keyblade at her attacker with the other. But as her vision settled and she could see straight, her eyes widened with terror as she saw who stood across from her.

One of the beings was the cloaked boy that was her height, who glared at her from beneath his hood with the keyblade Oblivion clutched in his grasp. The other being was the Maestro, who seemed to be smiling from his metal face as he stood in the center of the three beings that stood across from her. Yet it was the final of the three that truly made Xion's eyes go wide and she felt herself begin to burn with rage.

The final being wore a black Organization cloak like many of the others that Xion had fought, but in his grasp he carried a large claymore in a reverse grip. His hair was blue and long, going all the way down to his shoulders and on his face was an X that was in-between his eyes. But it was those eyes that Xion found herself glaring at with all of her hate, eyes that looked upon her the way somebody looked at a piece of trash.

"Saix," Xion snarled.

"Hello, puppet," Saix replied.

I think Xion and Sombra are about to get saved by Twilight. Hopefully everyone will be ready for Saix.
