Luckily my family was on the other side of the river on the Quebec side so we were spared the carnage. We were packing our stuff in the trunk of our car and hopefully leave and find a safe place where we could; well; be safe. My sister turned on the radio, at that moment heard the news person speaking about a ‘safe’ place and just a few hours away from where we live. “Everyone here?” Mom asked as we got into the car where me, my sister and dad gave an audible “yes”; though mine took a bit longer before I yawn. An hour pass as my attention slowly turned away from the burning City of Ottawa and back looking forward. My eyes have grown heavy throughout the period of time in the car and a bit before, I really need some sleep. Before I can even realize, I soon fell asleep just as the clock turned to 12:00. --- When I woke up; my sight could only view white as I turn in every direction in mid air (if you can even call it air that is). “Where am I?” I asked myself since there’s nobody around. In Fact, there isn’t anything beside the huge white marble colored void. Looking over myself just be sure that I’m still present and; to my relief; still have everything I have on. I’m a male up to 6.2 tall. Short brown hair, bright peach skin and dark blue eyes. Plain green shirt that has black mostly cover the chest, left cuff just below the elbow line and back. Black sweatpants for his lower parts and just below are white socks and black track sneakers. As I began to wander; Why am I here? when a bright light flash right before me and blinded me for about a second before lifting an arm to shield my eyes. Moment later, whatever it is releasing that much light dims to a more bearable, then was gone, letting me lower my arm down to see an old man. Seem to look just like generic version of the christian god, I think? “Hello.” Old man greeted. Unassuming of his response I asked. “Who are You?" confused on ‘where’, the ‘who’ and the ‘what’, more on the ‘who’ and ‘where’. "I am the Alpha and Omega. Creator of the Earth and everything on it." He states as I wondered what that meant before realizing just seconds later. “Wait; are you saying; you’re god?” I asked, receiving a nod. “Okay, so why am I here?” I asked. “Are you familiar with the Mayan Calendar?” He asked as the gears started turning in my head. “Are you saying that you caused the end of the world?” I asked. “It wasn’t the end more like a new beginning.” He started. “It was actually a test by me to see how the human race's reaction if chaos went wild over the planet. Would they embrace it, or try to stop it by any means necessary. Sadly, chaos was the victor.” “And why am I here?” “There are those who didn't go the violent route. For those people, I'm giving them the choice to go to any world of any dimension they wish that is within my powers. You, my good lad, are one of those.” “And those that failed?” “To them, today's events never took place. They will continue to live their lives out in that timeline you came from.” “Aren't people going to question why thousands of people just disappeared?” “Yes, they would, if I wasn't going to leave a clone of yourself there if you choose to decide to go somewhere else and live out your dreams!” “Why clones? Why not just erase all memories of people ever being there?” I asked. “Now that would work if it were at least a hundred people but thousands, people would realize something isn’t right and realize something is missing.” he said before taking a few steps forward “Now enough questions. Where do you want to go? You can go anywhere within my power.” I thought for a minute not being able to decide where to go. “Could I get some powers before I choose?” “Not the strangest request I’ve gotten. So what do you want?” I thought for a good minute before saying; “How about a healing factor?” I asked and he cracked his hands. “Anything else?” He asked, by the way he said it made me wonder if he thought it was what I want. As I thought for a second before a golden idea came in my head. “I want a Keyblade and the ability to open Dark corridors.” “Alright but I can only give you the Kingdom Key.” He then walked towards me and put his hand over my head as a shock flowed through me and I fell unconscious again. “Have a nice trip.” he said. --- When I woke up and see my own surrounding turn from white to black. Luckily, there's something in here this time. I stood in a huge pillar made of glass thats blue. I was in the Realm of Awakening from Kingdom Hearts 1. “Alright.” I muttered, looked around for any signs of life. I was startled by a voice speaking, it wasn’t the voice of God but a different voice; one that was both familiar and strange to me. ‘So much to do, So little time…’ It said as I looked around. ‘Take your time. Don’t be afraid.’ ‘Now, step forward. Can you do it?’ I took a few steps forward to the center of this circular structure plane, a display stand with a black shield with red rims and red symbol of mickey mouse head with gold frame lines on the center magically appeared in white sparkles; ‘Power sleeps within you.' turning 35 degree right around to see another stand with a green wand with brown base and on top of it is a blue mickey mouse head appears; ‘If you give it form...’ turn around again and a third stand popped up with a sword with a blue wrapping handle, yellow arc guard and black mickey mouse head symbol on the base of the guard. ‘It will give you strength. Choose well.’ Finish saying as all three stands are now present. I walked towards the sword. ‘The power of the warrior. Invincible courage. A sword of terrible destruction.’ Reached for it while the voice respond to my arm extension. ‘Is this the power you seek?’ Without hesitation I grabbed it. Calmly watch as the sword in my hand vanish. ‘Your path is set.’ the voice said. Turning around to view the last two as it continued speaking. 'Now what power will you give up?' I walked towards the wand. ’The power of the mystic. Inner strength. A staff of wonder and ruin.' Voice explained as I reached for it, just like before with the sword it asked. ’You give up this power?’ I grabbed the staff and it vanish as the voice speaks as though reading a scripted. 'You’ve chosen the power of the warrior. You’ve given up on the power of the mystic. Is this the form you choose?’ It asked and I nod in response. Before I knew it; the stands lean down to one side before sinking, the floor began to shatter underneath me and I began to fall. As I fell I saw a glass stained picture of a woman I don’t know. Slowly descending down and landed on my feet with a tap. Suddenly, the Kingdom Key keyblade appeared in my hand. ’You’ve gained the power to fight.’ I took a practice quick swing down as I wasn’t familiar with sword combat. ‘Alright! You’ve got it.’ 'Use this power to protect yourself and others.’ Five Shadow heartless started to appear from the ground up like 2d to 3d. ‘There will be times you have to fight. Keep your light burning strong.’ I rushed to smack a few heartless as they tried to get a swipe in but they gave delayed opening for a smack from my blade, not giving them a chance. I only took down two before they all sank back down and gone, with only the remains of their kind, small green orbs which flew into me as I got near it and can feel a tingle but since I haven’t taken damage I didn’t really need them. ‘Behind you.’ The voice commented as I turned around to see one Shadow tried to sneak up behind me, ready to attack. However, I smacked it away as hard as I could. By gut instinct have turned around, facing two more or them and had to dodge away from the one on the right but wince and surprised when the other one react just a few millisecond and gave a scratch mark at my rib but luckily no actual mark. I swung at one and by miracle it disperse into dark wisps while dropping two small green orbs which flew into me seconds after. Last two heartless decided to leave now that they are not in big numbers. Sinking into the floor as the floor started to turn black from their escape and before I knew it I sank into the darkness. Awaken once more from being trapped in the darkness that soon leaved my view. Seeing myself laying on the floor. Sitting up only to gain the attention of what’s on the floor. Another glass stained picture of another person that I don’t know either. When I got up, my eyes lock onto a beam of light pointing towards a door. I walked towards it and just when I reached within better perception to realized it was see-through. “Great can’t open it...” I said. Turning around to see a yellow and red chest which I walked towards and tapped it with the keyblades tip. It open to find a cylinder, cup size bottle with an odd green jello star. “Oh nice a Potion,” I said, putting it in my left jacket pocket. [Get Item: Potion x1 Held: x0 > x1] At that moment, a large crate appeared behind me. I looked at it for a few seconds before my keyblade flash shortly, gave me a hint to smash the crate. Taking this thought to the test, I smashed the crate in a overhead slam, smashing it into wooden shrapnel's and another potion popped out in a small hand size clam chest which I picked up and store it with the other one. [Get Item: Potion x1 Held: x1 > x2] As I picked it up the frame of the door became solid. Hming to myself only to get my thought sidetrack when a flash came from behind turn to look, seeing a wooden barrel standing upright just a few feet from the left of the door. Following the logic of this room, I managed to pick it up and throw it at the door which caused the thrown object to shatter and caused the door to fully become solid. Reaching out to the bar handle I opened it and was bathed in light. As the light left, I was in yet another room where there was a glass stained thing with another unknown woman as an image. Looking around for anything that might lead me forward. I saw another heartless so I pulled out my keyblade as I became surrounded by them. Had to avid taking hits though that wasn’t easy with around 10 Shadows keeping me moving, if I ever stop it’s to either get hit or attack once only to continue this rodeo routine. Hour later, the fight ended and got myself a deep breathing room, I was tired. Stretched my limb for a bit, a bright circle light up from the center of the room. Guessing what it does I walk inside it and immidiately sigh as feeling of being rejuvinated in and out of my being. [Save point: Healed Health and recover Mana. Save: [Y]/[N]] Same headlight moved forward before fading away at the edge and a walkway appeared made out of stain glass of different colors. After a long run which is a relief of regaining stamina before heading forward, I made it to the other side and found a light. From here I decided to walk casually. Stepping into the light a familiar voice spoke. ‘The closer you get to light, the greater your shadow becomes.’ I quickly look behind me to see my shadow grow and raise from the ground and slowly taking a more three dimensional form. ‘Don’t be afraid.’ I took a few steps back, mixture of fear and adrenaline rush through me. This large shadow took one step forward as if it sense my fears. ‘and don't forget...’ It didn’t finish as the Darkside reeled its fist, dark sphere engul its fist and slammed it into the ground just barely miss me. Taken the opportunity I slashed at its balled up fist as Shadow heartless came out of the darkness that the fist spawned. After a few hits, the Darkside pulled its hand back and started to launch orbs of darkness from the heart-shaped hole in its chest. I dodged the blasts but wasn’t lucky against the nearby Shadows and got hit by them that were swarming around the Darkside. No choice but to get rid of them, I gone and dealt with them in a hit or two before focusing on Darkside as I slashed at its arms on its side. It feel to its knees and hand and began to sink into the ground. I think, I may have killed it! “Alright, what's next? Twilight Thorn?” I asked to nobody in particular as I began to sink into darkness. ‘But don’t be afraid. You hold the mightiest weapon of all.’ --- I woke up in a grassy field. Slowly getting up I noticed somebody was standing there in front. “U-um, a-are you alright?” She asked quietly. A healthy peach women with long pink hair draip down to her hips, light blue eyes. Wearing a yellow long, one piece dress reaching to her lower leg and have a bit loose fabric straps slack off her shoulders that sticks out including her collar bone, torso upper back and pink sandals. “Could you repeat that, I didn’t quite catch that.” I said as she spoke a bit louder. “A-are you alright?” She asked as I could actually hear her. “I’m alright why are you asking?” “You were um unconscious... n-near the E-everfree Forest.” She said shyly. I felt like I knew that from somewhere but can’t quite place it. “Well, I guess I just chose a poor place to nap,” I said, tried lighten up the mood. Girl just hid behind her light yellow wings, just noticing them just now. “Hey, do you know the nearest town from here?” I asked. Getting her to leave her somewhat hiding place to answer though her cheeks were a bit tint of pink. “Um well, Ponyville is just down the road... that way,” She said pointing towards the buildings in the distance. The name sounded familiar too but not enough to get my memories going. “Well, thanks miss.” I said as I walked away as she ran past me into a nearby hut. As I got closer to the town, I realized why it sounded familiar. It was from My Little Pony. “Great...” I muttered as I head over to my destination. There was no turning back now, at least I can leave anytime I want. As I got to town I wondered when I was, was I in before Nightmare moon or after Sombra? As I step into civilization, I headed to the mayor's office to see if I could get any permanent housing. As I walked through the streets I pass by a peach woman with blond long hair tied near the end in a brown stetsons hat. Stopping form a 180 turn and walk up to her and asked. “Hey, excuse me! Could you tell me where the mayor's office is?” Turning towards me to see under her hat that lifted to see me are green eyes. Wearing a three tone brown in a odd square pattern, button shirt with it unbutton halfway to see white cotton shirt underneath. They’re tucked under a worn out light navy jeans and brown belt with caramel buckle. Working light brown sleek gloves and a matching colored cowboy boots. She smiled. “Well partner, mayor’s office is that there tall building at the center of town, the rotunda. You in town for the Summer Sun Celebration? It’ll be a great shindig!” She asked while removing her hat and brush it off just for any loose dust on it before placing it back on her head. “Yes actually,” I said as I looked at the clocktower. “Oh! Ya better hurry on! Do what ya gonna do with the mayor before she closes soon,” She said as I ran towards the building. She watch where she was chuckling. “New fella huh?” As I made it to the pillar with rotunda building I got inside and was greeted by a secretary that looked like David Tennant. Peach skin and ruff short beard and mustache, short brown hair and brown eyes. Wearing a black suit all unbutton, underneath is faint light blue undershirt and dark blue tie, blue business pants and brown work shoes. “Are you here to see the mayor?” He asked. “Yes, actually I’m here to see if there's any houses in town are available.” “Alright you’ll need to fill in some forms out here,” He said, handing me a pen and some papers. Taking them and finding a place to write. Few minutes of looking at the forms, I filled out all that’s needed to be acquired, leaving my name for last. My Name Huxley. I wrote down as it was my organization name...even if I had no clue where the H or U came from. “Alright Mr. Huxley all we need now is your down payment and we can start next week.” I searched around in my pockets before coming across something bulgy. Pulling it out and; to my surprise; was the Munny Bag made by Olette from Kingdom hearts 2. “Will this do?” I asked in a bit of a dumbfounded expression. Passing it over, he weighed it. “I’m going to manually count it if that's okay?” He asked. “Sure will it take long?” “Just an hour, unfortunately, the office closes in half an hour so tell you what, come back tomorrow and I’ll count your bits,” He reasoned, giving back the bag and munny. “Okay is there a hotel in town?” I asked. “No, but tell you what, nobody has used that old treehouse in years. I’ll hand you the keys and you come back tomorrow and we’ll resume the part alright?” “Alright thank you, Mr?” I said as he introduced himself. “Time Turner,” He said shaking my hand. “Alright, Mr. Turner. I’ll come back tomorrow.” [Got Key Item: Munny Bag, Munny Total in bag: 5,000] > Summer sun celebration remake > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Three days have passed since I arrived in this world. On the first full day, I went back to the mayor’s office to pay for the house. Entering inside the town's hall and pass the door leading to the man from before. The man was stacking up papers to one side of the clerk countertable when he heard me walking in, fixing his tie and cleared his throat. Placing my munny pouch on the table resulting him to count the required amount of money which was (luckily) the right amount. “Alright, we should have your house built in a week.” Time Turner said. “A week?” I asked in surprise. “Well it is a holiday in a few days so we can’t build as fast as normal.” He clarify. “No, I was actually surprised! It was going to be built that fast?” I questioned. “Oh well Ponyville is home to some of the fastest home builders in Equestria so we would normally have it done in 3 to 5 days but since the Summer Sun Celebration is in two days our people are on vacation to spend time with their families.” He explained. I paused for a minute to think before saying. “Yeah, alright, makes sense.” “Take care now.” Time Turner said as I walked out of the office. I just wander around town for a bit before returning to the library. Deciding to stay in today. On the second day, I met Pinkie Pie. “Hia I’m Pinkie Pie! I haven’t seen you around here before?!” She excitedly asked, jumping from the sudden voice just in front of me and taken a few steps back. This girl looks a bit shorter than the first and second, peach skin and dark pink hair that looked puffy as it hang down to her waist. Wearing a pink shirt that's tied up from lower to her chest lower cleavage with white folded collar across the inner rims and a baby blue shorts and pink sneakers. Her light blue eyes gleam at me in full blown joy as she does weak bounce. “I just moved here! Well~ I’m having a house built so technically, I don’t live here yet.” She seems nice. I thought. “Well, all the same! Welcome!” She said as she pulled a cannon out of nowhere with me taking a step back from both the cannons purpose and how it came out of nowhere! “Whoa, what's with the cannon?” I asked; startled. “It's my party cannon! We’re going to have a ‘Welcome to Ponyville Party’!” She shout excitedly. I was not a party person, didn’t like crowds. So I had to think fast. “Hey, why not delay the party till the Summer Sun Celebration! Then you can have a double party.” I said in reason. She gasped before saying; “I like you!” before bounce/skipping off. I sighed in relief, continued my track to Carousel boutique. I needed a spare set of clothing. Building, in general, was large cylinder thats big enough for two floors, white walls and the home name stated carousel around the outside with model of horses on poles though the architecture didn’t spin around the house, lavender pointed roof to top it all off. Pushing through the front door with a jingle of a doorbell rings throughout the house as he enters in, closing door behind him which gave a similar ring. The room looked to be filled with space for a stand for posing or just to look through the mirrors in one corner, few mannequins of peoples wearing all sorts of clothes in a few places, especially the view window. A small area where a cash register near a spot just next to a door leading to another part of this floor. Observed door opened for a women to walk in. Healthy peach skin and cared purple hairbrush to one side with a few exceptions and all curled near the ends in spirals. Light blue eyes with matching colored make up for her eyelids. Wearing light pink dress that ends to her shoulders which is a bit baggy and hips with that was held in a belt designed with pure diamonds with bigger one in the bickle, giving off a frill like end of her shirt. Light pink thin necklace that seems plain around her neck, black arm band with metal diamond pattern, black gloss shorts and white average-heel dress shoes. “Hello! Welcome to Carousel Boutique, where every garment and accessories is chic, unique, and Magnifique.” The woman said as I walked in. “Hello I heard this was a clothing store... but maybe I’m-” I was cut off by the woman. “Why most certainly IS a clothing shop, sir. What can I do for you?” She asked as she stood behind the counter while eyeing me and my appearance. “Well I need some spare clothing and-” I was cut off again by the lady. “Say no more! Let me just get your measurements.” She asked, pulling out a measurement tap from her counter as she walks up to the stand as she unrolls her measure tool in hand. “Thank you.” I said. “Oh, no need to thank me. Now can you come up here on the stand so we can get your measurement.” Her hand gesture to the center to said stand which I comply, walking up where she want me to stand. “Stretch out your arms out.” She said as I did, standing in a T-stance as she starts doing measurement of my arms. “I’ve never seen you in town before, are you new here?” She asked, now doing my torso, then waist, and hips. “Yeah I moved into the treehouse library two days ago and I’m having a house built in town next week.” “Oh, that's marvelous Mr.?” She asked as she continued on my legs starting with my right. “Huxley.” I said, introducing myself. She hmm to herself, standing back up as she wrote down the measurements on a clipboard. “Ah nice to meet you, Mr. Huxley, I’m Rarity or Ms. Rarity.” She said introduced herself even doing a short bow while gripping her shirt frill and lifts it slightly. “Well, miss Rarity it's nice to meet you.” “Alright, I should have your measurements your clothing will be ready after Sun Summer Celebration.” Rarity said with a smile on her face. “Thank you,” I said as I stretched a bit before leaving. Just like before I stayed back home. On the third day, things got interesting as it was the night of the Summer sun celebration. As I went out for my morning walk I saw a white and gold carriage landed in the center of town. There stood a girl with a small light purple and green dragon. A girl was a peach skin and short but tall for a teen. Straight long navy blue hair and bangs with hot pink and purple stripes down to one side. Wearing white shirt and an emblem of a hot pink star with five small white ones around them place on her shoulder with a lavender sleeveless cotton shirt over it. Lavender thigh long skirt and purple shoes. Her nervous purple eyes looked over at the happy Pinkie Pie (if my memory is correct) as this new arrival body language of uncomfort. She seems to say one word before Pinkie Pie gasp while jumping and staying in the air before dashing away so fast she left a puff of dust cloud shape of herself behind as it dissipated, heading towards the bakery as I rolled my eyes and walked to the bakery to pick up breakfast. “Hey, Ms.Cake,” I said walking inside. Adult women turn to me with dark pink eyes. Peach skin and a two-tone pink that swirl upwards like cream. Wearing yellow dress and white apron with an image of two pink frosting cherry cupcakes stitching pink sphere earrings. “Oh hello, Huxley! What will it be?” She asked as I stood at the counter. “I’ll take a chocolate muffin,” I said as she reached down and retrieved a chocolate muffin. “Here you go sweetie,” Ms.Cake said as I paid up and took a bite out of it when Pinkie zoomed out of the bakery and see shortly through the window that she head towards the library. “Umm was that Pinkie?” “I think so...and she headed to the library,” I answered I walked out to head to the library, to learn about Nightmare Moon. Had seen the show and knew about four of its antagonists but other than that I didn’t know a thing. When I got to the library I saw Pinkie pie hanging a banner, streamers, balloons, and snacks, even drinks with a punch bowl around the Library. “Pinkie, what are you doing here?” I asked as I step inside. “Setting up a triple party,” She said happily bouncing everywhere. “Alright, but why the-” Shook my head. “you know what, never mind.” I picked a book and walked upstairs to the room that I was staying in. Few hours passed as I read the book, ignoring all the ruckus downstairs. As I finish reading my ears heard the door open and closed in a swift manner. “Pinkie is the party r-” I stopped when I saw the girl from earlier that came from the carriage. Her expression shows unease as she stares at me cautiously. “What are you doing in my room?” She asked cautiously staying just near the door. I paused for a second in confusion before saying. “Your room? I’ve been staying here for a few days now. I was given the keys by the mayor’s secretary.” “That can’t be right, the Princess booked this house months ago...” She muttered. “Maybe the guy forgot, either way, I can’t leave,” I said as she looked at me confused. “Why can’t you leave exactly?” “Well, I have nowhere to go. I’ve been living here since I came to town.” I said. “Okay well, I want some sleep before the Summer Sun Celebration so get out.” She said lifting me up with her magic and placing me out the door with my butt hitting the floor with door slam closed. “Rude.” Grumbled as I got up from the ground and walked down the stairs. Night was long I only had sugar to keep me up and even then I was barely taking any of it. “Hiya! Are you having fun?! I’m having fun!” Pinkie said as I rolled my eyes. “Pinkie, I’m tired. I was kicked out of my room by somebody who claims to have had this place rented for months,” I said as her hair droops a bit. “Are you saying, you’re not enjoying the party?” She said in a sad tone. “No the party is fine, its just, I was hoping to get a few z’s in before the Celebration.” I said as she just looked away sad. Now I felt bad. As the hours passed it was time to head to the town hall to see the sun rising. As I entered the town hall with the rest of the people. As everybody had entered, the mayor gave a small speech “Ladies and Gentlemen, as mayor of Ponyville, it is with great pleasure to announce the beginning of the Summer Sun Celebration!” She started as everybody cheered “In a few moments, our town will witness the magic of the sunrise, and celebrate this, the longest day of the year! And now, it is my great honor to introduce to you the ruler of our land, the very person who gives us the sun and the moon each and every day, the good, the wise, the bringer of harmony to all of Equestria...” She started as a curtain slide open. “Princess Celestia!” She said as everybody gasped at the empty balcony which caught her attention and gap. “R-remain calm, everybody, there must be a reasonable explanation!” The mayor said calmly but her expression was shown nervousness. As everybody talked amongst themselves why the princess not up at the balcony, Rarity came out from behind the stage and said “She’s gone!” Everyone began concern and worried muttered amongst themselves wondering what had happened to the princess. At this moment from someone gasp loudly, a purple mist started to fill the stage. Catching everyone's attention. It swoop up like an upside down twister before beginning on taking a human shape, I knew it could only mean one thing, Nightmare Moon. It turn solid to reveal a pale women wearing a black jumpsuit and black cape attached to a fabric collar, besides that was a pale blue armor protecting her shins, arm guard, inner breast plate, pauldrons on her shoulders, and waist armor cape. Her dark blue hair is long and wavy, like an unexisting breeze pass through them. Her eyes pupil are slit like a reptile or more like a cat or dragon and surrounded by turquoise with white replace with a faint matching color for her iris, just looking at them would give a twinge of fear or more if they know who she is. “Oh, my beloved subjects. It's been so long since I've seen your precious little sun-loving faces.” Nightmare Moon said. One of the winged people flew up in the air and demanded. “What have you done with the Princess?!” Another grabbed her leg, preventing her from flying any further. Nightmare Moon chuckled before speaking though sounded like she was offended. “Why am I not royal enough for you? Don't you know who I am?” Pinkie was shouting random names as I walk through the crowd and pull my keyblade out and shout. “You’re the woman in the moon, Nightmare Moon.” She smiled. “Ah somebody remembers me. Then you know why I’m here.” She said. Gave a small smile as I jumped on the flying girl’s head and jump onto the balcony. “You're here to die.” I said as I turned around and swing her with my keyblade. She pulled her sword and blocked the blade. “Oh I’m here to die am I?” She taunt as she blocked each swings from my keyblade. “You should have prepared for this fight if that's all you got, pathetic fool.” She grabbed me by the throat and stabbed my chest. Pain rush through me, agony blasted me in cold antarctica and bathed in frozen, eternal slumber. Huffing in disappointment, she threw me onto the ground and everything went black. --- [3rd Point Of View] Hours passed as the Sun returned, eight figures entered the Town Hall and looked at the body of the fallen person. Stabbing wound still present with blood dried up, staining his clothes. “I can’t believe I did this.” Luna said, guilt evidence in her voice. She could barely look at the body as she move her sight away. “It's not your fault Luna.” Celestia said as her magenta eyes loom over the body. Her aurora borealis hair flows in a soft breeze and health peach skin. Wearing a chest held white dress down to her ankle, golden tiara on her head, gold belt regalia around her waist, gold arm wrapping, and white marble high heels.  “Did anybody know his name?” Celestia asked softly. “Huxley, his name was Huxley.” Pinkie said her hair drop straight. As Princess Celestia and Twilight Sparkle were about to lift the body in their levitation spell to take the body to the hospital his body twitched, starting to move! “What?” Celestia asked. --- [Huxley POV] I started to cough up left over blood in his breath piping organs. “Ouch,” I said sitting upright, wincing in pain. “ZOMBIE!” Pinkie screamed as she and Fluttershy hid behind Celestia. “Everyone get behind me.” Celestia said as she erected a barrier around the ‘zombie’. “I don’t get it, zombies aren’t real.” Twilight said in suspicious but scarce evidence in her tone as I stood up. “What happened?” I asked as I looked around, but stop when they are all looking scared. “What?” I asked before seeing a faint blur of colors of- “Nightmare Moon!” I said as I pulled my keyblade out and started to smack the barrier. “Don’t worry it can’t break through-” She started to say only for her words to falter when I broke through the barrier. “...the barrier.” Without a word I rushed towards Nightmare Moon. Before I could reach her I was suspended in the air. “What?” As I said that I was thrown into a wall with yalp. “GAH!” I shouted and again as I was slammed to the ground next. I got up and held my Keyblade tightly in my hand before charging at Nightmare Moon once more. As I was about to strike just three feet from her, Pinkie got inbetween us with arms spread out on both side. “Huxley, stop!” “Pinkie get away from it!” The voice of that navy-blue hair young girl shouted. “Pinkie why are you stopping me?! Nightmare Moon is right behind you!” I said, getting others looks of surprised, probably by me speaking. “What are you?” Rainbow asked. “Whats going on?” I asked. “You were dead how did you come back?” Twilight asked. “Okay one thing at a time. Where’s Nightmare Moon?” I asked in confusion, my eyes looked over the ‘Nightmare Moon’ who hide behind the taller women. Realizing something, different. She is like a size of a child, pale peach skin (probably from not being out in the sun much) with light blue small wings. Shoulder long light blue hair and those turquoise eyes that looked away in fear. Wearing a light blue dress with only the skirt and sleeves being blue. “I mean, now that I have a good look, that clearly isn’t her. So where is she?” I asked, everyone looked at me funny. First one who spoke would be the scholar girl. “We defeated Nightmare moon half an hour ago,” Twilight simply stated with her friends nodding in confirmation. “... Ooookay. So could you show me ‘where’ she was defeated?” I asked. “Why do you wish to see?” Celestia asked. “I just want to make sure of something.” I said. They looked at each other for a moment before looking at their princess in wonder what she would decide. “Hmm... I don’t see the harm in showing you.” Celestia said. At first there was nothing, suddenly, a golden light illuminated my vision. My stomach feels queasy as a feeling of distortion around me before my vision return. If I can guess my face could be green slightly though I persuade it back down my throat as I slowly look around. We appear to be in the ruined castle ‘few’ tower, few missing stone bricks gone, moss in some places in showing how long the exterior has been unattended. Only thing to see is just a unkept throne that could have seen better days and broken pieces of alloy cyan shards that slightly twinkle. I picked one piece up, fiddling it in my hand in examination. During this time black smog falls off the very bottom of the piece. Remaining parts of accessory leaked similar clouds, all moving in one spot of the room, where the old throne seat. Once it reached its destination and got to the size of a puddle it rose from the ground like a black ghost. “You can show your yourself now.” I said. “Who’s he talking too?” Rainbow asked as herself, her group, Luna and Celestia followed as soon as they saw the odd miasma in front of them. Second later a woomp was heard and a; “Hey!” got me to turn my head around and see a barrier was formed around  half the room with them on one side and me on the other. “So you survived being stabbed, impressive. Maybe you’ll make for a better host then night princess.” The shadow said as it formed into a familiar form of Nightmare Moon. “I was right about you surviving.” I said before the face was revealed “Nightmare Moon.” “Please just call me Nightmare,” She said. Summoning my keyblade, receiving a sigh from her, or it. Entity of nightmare pulled out her sword from her sheath as she rhetorically asked boredly. “Haven't we done this little dance before? And how did it end?” “Me getting stabbed, but that won’t happen again!” I said. “Your right,” She said sweetly before becoming stern. “Next time it will end with me holding your head.” She said. She rushing at me with sword ready for a down strike, quicker than I expected. Not wanting to die twice, I raised my keyblade up and blocked in somewhat, though the impact did skid me across the ground a bit. I rushed her this time, she somehow was just using her sword to deflect it away. I jumped back before quickly throwing my keyblade into a Strike Raid. She turn into a misty cloud which (to my surprise) as the keyblade just flew through her gass form with no damage as the kingdom key reappeared in my hand with Nightmare solidified though she seem a bit twitchy as though actually have a bit minor effect but not enough to stun her. Crap, how am I gonna damage her? I thought in wonderment. “You are fighting the inevitable you impotent welp!” Her slightly agitated, shooting a electrical dark blue beam of negative magic out. Seeing this I roll out of the way, and good thing too. It made a sizzling hole in the wall behind me. “Crap!” I yelped before getting back to the fight. I tried to get behind though she was quick to keep me upfront. Strange. We circled each other for a bit before I looked over and saw that Rarity was holding a hand mirror towards me, showing Nightmare's back. At first was a bit hard to see but as a few sec later shows a heartless symbol. Her weak spot! I gotta somehow be faster than her… Got it! I ran up to her then surprised her with a quickly jump over which she threw another short beam with it hitting the ceiling. With rubble and dust falling, I made a quick pace, landing behind her and by the time she noticed I turned 180 and struck her with a simple triple strike;(even though one was a thrust) in succession on her back. “Sorry Nightmare, looks like I found your weak point.” I said as she started to disintegrate into vapors of darkness as she shouted, a heart came out of her as the rest of her form is gone and the barrier dissipated. Both princess and main 6 all rush in the cold chamber to see if he's alright and to get an answer. “What was that?” Twilight ask. “That was a Heartless.” I answered. “Heartless?” Celestia said as everyone looked at her. “Hmm, how do I explain this... Heartless are created when somebody falls into darkness.” “Like when I fell into darkness,” Luna said. “Yeah, but there is a slight problem, normally people don’t come back from being a Heartless.” I said as they all looked at me then to Luna. “Unless there heartless and Nobody-” “What's a nobody?” Pinkie asked, interrupted me. “Well. When a Heartless is born it contains the heart and the Nobody is, well, the body and mind.” I answered. “Anyway, when a specific Heartless and Nobody are defeated, the person that they were created from comes back. But in extremely Rare cases like this one only happened once before, though that someone did come back from being a Heartless however his Nobody was living for a year before it returned to ‘that’ individual.” I explained. “So what happens if her nobody is destroyed before she can reunite with it?” “Then there might be two Luna’s or the Nobody will vanish, it also depends on which type of Nobody it is.” “What do you mean type of nobody?” Pinkie press on. “There are ‘two’ major types of Nobodies: The first are the lesser nobody's which are hard to describe due to them coming in various forms, and the Organization having Nobodies that keep the forms they had when they were a whole.” I explain as best I could. “And how do We know you aren't making this up?” Rainbow asked slight tone of accusation. “Yeah, I’ve never heard of Heartless or Nobodies till I met you,” Twilight said quite suspicious of such thing. “Well if you don’t believe me then explain the heart that came out of Nightmare.” I said as they looked at each other. Few have either unsure, taking my point or just shrugged. “Alright. Now, I have to head back to town to make sure my house isn’t being closed due to me getting stabbed.” I stated, trying to walk out. “Wait, how old are you?” Celestia asked. “17, why?” I ask in suspicion. “What happened to your parents?” I looked at her before looking to the ground. What did happen to them? I was so hasty to get answers that I never even asked what happened to my family. “I-I don’t know.” I answered as best I could but I wasn’t sure. “Look, Huxley?” She gave me a look and I nod then continue. “I would like you to come to Canterlot with me and Luna.” Celestia said calmly though something about her twinkling eyes just a short second. “Why?” I asked. “You’ll see.” She said as we were teleported back to Ponyville. [3rd POV] As the moon rose over Canterlot, a figure in a black cloak could be seen observing the castle. Cool breeze made the chains for the hood to sway along, slow and calming breath as a women's voice spoke up in wonder. “A thousand years I have been gone. How many worlds have I seen?” The mysterious figure asked herself as she removed her hood revealing Princess Luna. > Canterlot remake > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After returning the six people to Ponyville I was taken to a chariot towards Canterlot. As the ride went on I was actually holding on to the bars as I had a major fear of heights. As we flew I tried not to look down, or up... really I just had my eyes closed till we landed. As we landed in the courtyard they guided me to my room. Passing through a few halls and short turns they reached our destination. “Thank you.” I said as I sat on my bed. Wondering what was Celestia wanted to ask me? After a while of looking around my ‘room’, I decided to go for a stroll through the gardens. Walking on stone pathways leading to different part which leads to other statues like three peoples standing on each other with highest and bottom holding the flag. Flower stands in few places most likely at corners. As I pass by statues or some plant placements my eyes spotted a jumbled up form of Discord’s statue and a few other too before returning to my room. That would have been if a voice spoke out. “Hey. This area is off-limits to civilians.” A royal guard said sternly, stopping me while I look at her. Gold rim and purple armor with the royal guard's emblem, can’t really tell but by the way, the shape is it's a she. “But I’m a guest.” I said. She didn’t believe me as her eyes furrow. “Okay, where's your pass.” She asked as I froze, was there a pass in my room, I hadn’t checked to be sure. “Pass?” I asked as she looked at me as though I was joking. “Nice try buddy now come with me!” She said walking towards me to apprehend and probably kick me out of the castle. Thinking quickly I point behind her. “Oh look it's Celestia.” I said, she turned to salute only to see no one as I ran passed her. “HEY!” She shouted as I ran as fast as I could, hearing footsteps behind me. As I got closer to my room I was tackled to the ground. “Nice try buddy now-” She started but was interrupted by Celestia walking by. “Gleaming Shield why are you holding my guest down?” Celestia asked as Gleaming let me go though she pulls me up from my shirt in her grasp with my arms being cross on my back in a magical grasp. “Because he didn’t have a pass ma’am! I was chasing him and since he resist.” ‘Gleaming’ reported as Celestia looked at me. “Why didn’t you carry your pass, Huxley?” Celestia questioned. “I didn’t know I needed one nor did I see one in my room.” I said. “Alright then... Gleaming Shield, would you come with us?” Celestia said as Gleaming nodded and followed us back to my room. No one spoke throughout our stroll, taking a similar path to my room. “Gleaming, make sure nobody comes in.” Celestia request as we walked inside and sat on the bed. “So what did you want to talk to me about?” I asked. “...Well, you're all alone, and have no family as far as I’ve known. I want to change that.” Taking a soft breath she continued. “I want to adopt you in the royal family.” She asked as I looked at her confused. I stared at her for a good second thinking of what to say to her before answering. “Look I appreciate the offer but no I’ll pass.” I said, getting up from the bed and grabbed the pass that was on the dresser and began to walk towards the door. “Wait, you can’t be serious. Think on what your declining.” She said flabbergasted. “Why do you even want to adopt me?” I asked while looking behind me to her. “Well... You have knowledge about creatures that I have never heard of. And a weapon, I have never seen one like that before. Plus, like I said, you're all alone. I want to give you a place and family.” Looking at me before continuing. “I understand why you denied it. You wish to never abandon what’s remain of your family. But it isn’t so. Besides, I’m not asking you to be my son.” She explain though that got me confused. “Wait, you're not? Then what are you asking?” I asked again confused. “All my nieces and nephews are adopted into the royal family, they choose to join. Was a great honor... Just think about it, you don’t have to say yes but, just, think about it.” Celestia said. I sighed, decided to go out for a walk around the city. --- Maybe I should take the offer. I am on limited funds and I’m not sure how long I can take care of myself... But I don’t know anything about politics, and nobles might try to use me, not to mention there could be the problems with both assassins and peasant revolts. I thought as I walk across the marble road. Peoples in fancy clothes talking to others, but there are those that just walk by, probably for work or food or probably some stuffs. Though I did see some peoples wearing work outfits like constructor, engineer, waiters, chiefs, even window cleaners. Wasn’t paying attention on where I was going as I bumped into someone with me on my haunches. “Hey! Watch where you're going.” The person said. “I’m sor-” I started before getting a good look at the woman who kinda looks like- “Twilight?” I asked, getting up on my legs before offering my hand. She smacked my hand away before standing up on her own. “Please don’t say that name.” She grumbles as she knees down to pick up a book. Now that my mind caught up to see the difference. She was peach with signs of sand yellow skin, her red hair with purple and lavender stripes, tied up to a ponytail. Wearing a casual glasses, helping her purple eyes or maybe just to look smart. Wearing warm black shirt, shaded maroon skirt thats halfway down her thigh, long white stockings and casual shoes. “Why?” I asked, gaining no response as she grabs another book. I noticed the scattered mess of books from our collision. “Would you like some help carrying your books?” I asked. She seems to be suspicious of me. “... Fine, follow me.” She said as she got up, I picked up the rest of the books and followed her. “So, what's your name?” I asked. “Moondancer.” She replied. “Nice to meet you Moondancer.” I said as we walked to her place. When we got there it looked to be a pale blue wall and wooden door. Its at least decent... Unlocking the door while opening it, she walked inside before saying. “Put the books on the table.” Pointing towards a somewhat cluttered table with books up to twenty books tall! Each one having a bookmark from previous reading but some doesn’t have any at all in one side, probably the ones done reading. I put them down where I guess is an empty spot and took a quick look around before saying. “Nice library you have here.” Not kidding, a row of books on shelf after shelf leaning on several walls. If it wasn’t with materials like food, kitchen and few entrances to other parts of the house it would have been an actual library! “Why are you still here?” She mannerlessly asked. “Wow, you’re just as rude as her, really got the attitude down.” I said. “Her?” Moondancer asked. “Twilight,” I responded. “Twilight Sparkle?” “Well I never got her name down but she did have a pet dragon.” “Assistant;” She corrected, being offensive for him. “he hates being called a pet. That's her alright, jerk leaving town to skip my party.” Grumbling to herself as she start making coffee for herself. “I thought she was there under the princess’s orders?” I said as she looked at me funny. “That's what she wants you to think,” She muttered in suspicion. “So why would she want to skip out on your party?” “... Because she hates me.” She spoke in a sad tone. “I’m pretty sure she doesn’t hate you,” I said, try to reassure her. “How would you know that?” “Well, considering the Princess ‘rented’ the Library that she was staying in months in advance. I think you just had a party at the wrong time.” I told her. “You think so?” She muttered to herself and probably me too. I saw the time and got up. “Well, I have to go, it was nice talking to you Moondancer.” I said. “Wait, who are you anyway?” She asked. “Oh, right, I never introduced myself. I’m Huxley.” I answered as I walk out. --- (Back at the castle,) I was about to enter the dining hall when I was stopped by Celestia. “Hello Huxley, have you decided on joining my family?” “Yes, I’ve decided that my mind hasn’t changed I don’t want to be royalty,” I said as she looked a little disappointed. “Alright it's your choice.” She said walking into the dining room as I followed her in. It was clean white room with a few suited butlers and two people sitting at the table. “Auntie who’s this?” A pink haired woman asked in curiosity. Pink, yellow and purple long hair, bright peach skin and lavender eyes. Wearing a small crown, waist held pink dress, lavender long silk gloves and white heels. “This is Huxley, Cadence.” Celestia address. “Why is he here?” A blond man asked. Brushed blond hair that’s wavy up around the neck, light blue eyes and bright peach skin. Wearing a full white tuxedo with a blue bow around the neck, and wrist glove and shoes are pale light blue. “Well Blueblood, Huxley is here because he help me with something.” Celestia said. “What did he ‘help’ you with exactly?” Blueblood asked. She looked at me, said in an unsure tone. “I’m afraid that's still between us.” Their attention is on me before Cadence asked. “How old is he?” “17.” I answered and she smile widen. “Auntie, does that mean what I think it means?” Young women looked and sounded way to hopeful that can call upon childrens cheers. Unfortunately her expression drop when Celestia shook her head. “He declined the offer to join our family.” Celestia said calmly and sadly. “Why?” Cadence asked. “Because I didn't want to join, its as simple as that.” I answered. “Well, all the better, I wouldn’t want some peasant joining our family.” Blond man haughty stated in that noble accent. “So what's your excuse to being in the family? You don’t seem like the type Celestia would invite into her family.” I said miffed, Blueblood looked insulted and wanted to bring his own thought into discussion but Celestia intervene. “That's enough, Huxley!” Celestia said sternly, frowning and furrow look at me before turning to Blueblood. “As for you Blueblood, you need to show him with some respect.” She requested. “Alright Aunt.” He said as he got up. “Hmph, this event has spoiled my appetite.” He muttered before walking away. Celestia gave me a look of disappointment before sitting down at the edge of the table. “I was hoping everyone was going to be here.” “Here for what?” Cadence asked curiously. “To introduce my Sister,” Celestia said. Luna came out from behind the dramatic revealed curtains, her expression however was a face of nervousness. “Luna.” “Hello.” Luna said meekly as she sat down beside her sister. “Hello, Auntie Luna,” Cadence said happily. “Hello Luna.” I said as she looked at me for a second before turning away. [...] After dinner, Cadence excuse herself from the room since she has things to do. I decided to confront Celestia and Luna as they were talking. Probably try to catch up with the times or something. “Hello Celestia, Luna.” I greeted. “Hello, Huxley. Is there something you need?” Celestia asked. “Well, there is still the matter of Luna’s nobody to deal with.” “If her Nobody is around, we’ll find her.” Celestia said. “Well, there are two problems with that.” I said getting their attention. “Well, if she is an Organization Nobody, she may still hold a grudge against you and she may not even be on this world.” I explained. “This ‘world’?” Luna asked in a unconvence tone though it felt strain for some reason. “Right before I explain you two must promise that this leave the room under no circumstance.” I said as they both nodded. “Alright every star you see in the night sky is a different world and Luna’s nobody could be on any number of them.” I explained. They seem not surprised by this. “Alright, then I’ll send you with Twilight and her friends to help with the search.” Celestia calmly said. “That might be a bad idea.” “Why?” Celestia asked. “What if you need them and we’re off on a faraway world?” I asked but more on the main point. “Well-” Celestia started but I cut whatever thought she was going to say. “And a group that big might attract the wrong crowds to this world.” I said. Seems I threw her thought out the window with Celestia started thinking again. “Hmm, what do you suggest?” Celestia asked. “I don’t know yet, let me think about it.” I said as I walked off. Once arriving to my room my mind flung in my head. Celestia’s not going to let me go at this alone... I’m going to need a gummi ship. I thought to myself as I went to bed. > New world remake > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As morning came I decided to head to Traverse Town to buy a gummi ship. Walking out of the castle while remembering my Canterlot Castle Pass this time. Lucky that I did cause few guards ask for one everytime I pass through except those who knew me for a short time. Stepping out and into the garden's fountain, my eyes spotted Celestia greeting a group of children. “Hello, Huxley.” She said. “Hello, Celestia. What's with the kids?” I asked. “I’m hosting a school trip from my school.” Celestia answered. “That’s neat. I’m heading out, I’ll be back by tonight.” Informing her of my plan. “Have fun.” She said as her attention return to the class, I walked away. After I got far enough away from the castle I went into an alleyway and opened a Dark Corridor to Traverse Town before walking into it. --- As I exited the Dark Corridor I was in the Second District alley. Lamp posts lit up for those who walk among the streets at night. Waterway just beside the wall, buildings on the opposite side. “I hope nobody saw me come out of that thing.” I said, closing the dark portal and walking towards a gate. As I entered the third district I saw a pink haired woman fighting a group of Shadows. I ran down the ramp and summoned my Keyblade and hit a few of them. She looks over a moment before getting back to the fight, making quick work of them even using circular attacks that dragged some in and cut ‘em down. After a few minutes of hitting heartless with my keyblade, the remaining heartless scattered and fled. I took a few deep breaths until a gunblade hung right near my neck by the women. “Who are you, and why do you have a keyblade?” She questioned. “Whoa! Easy lady.” I said, backing up with her following similar steps with the blade still at my neck before my back press against the brick wall. Leaving no room to try any assault or chance to run away. “No, you're going to answer my questions now!” She demanded. Pressing more flat side of the blade at my skin, she's in no mood. “Fine. I don’t know why I have the keyblade and my name is Huxley.” I answered. She glared at me without shifting her emotionless expression before letting her gunblade down. I sighed as she looked at me. “Know anyplace I can buy a Gummi ship?” I asked. “Why do you need a Gummi ship?” She asked. “To get to other worlds?” I answered, confused. Thought it would be obvious of the purpose for such a spacecraft. “No. I assume you already have one since your here. How did you get here in the first place?” She asked suspiciously. “Actually, Keyblade wielders can use their keyblades to move from world to world. It's just not useful if you're moving in a group.” I explain. Her eyes glance at me for a moment before giving a quiet sigh. Turning in place towards a fleet of stairs while doing quick movements with her right arm as the weapon she held switch to gun mode before sliding it to her thigh weapon holster. “Alright. I’ll take you to Geppetto.” She said before walking with me following behind. “Geppetto?” I asked. “He Traverse Towns designer for most constructions like building and Gummi ships for instance.” She stated. “Wasn’t there a guy selling Gummi parts around here?” I asked. Could have sworn she glance at me. “You mean Cid. He and those from Hollow Bastion returned to their world. leaving this place undermanned.” She said angrily. Now I knew when I was at least. “Okay...” I said as we made it to Geppetto’s home as Pinocchio ran out the door. “Be careful Pinocchio!” Geppetto said before he noticed us walking towards him. “Oh hello there Miss Lightning.” He said, now I got her name. “Hello, Geppetto.” Lightning greeted. “Hi.” I said. “What can I do for you?” Geppetto asked. “I’m here to buy a Gummi ship.” I said. “Alright, do you have any munny?” He asked. “Will this be enough?” I asked pulling out the bag of munny. “There should be at least 3850 munny in the bag.” I said. “Yes, that should be enough for your gummi ship. It should be finished in a few days.” He said as he took the bag of Munny leaving for just a moment before coming back as he handed me the bag back with it being way less weight. “Thanks.” I said as I took the empty bag back. After buying the ship and parted ways with Lightning (who was at least less tense); I returned to Canterlot. The next few days were peaceful, apart from a run in with Blueblood or two. Right now I’m at Moondancers house entrance. “Hello, Moondancer?” I asked knocking on her door. Russling and slight movements were heard, door open a bit before opening it wider to reveal the owner. “Oh, Huxley, hi.” She muttered, sounding not too enthusiastic. “May I come in?” I asked. “Sure, but why?” Moondancer said, uncertainty before opening the door while moving out of way. I came into her house, she lead me to her library quarters. “Well Celestia has tasked me with a job and I need help.” I said. She just hmm out of confirmation that she's listening while returning to her book. “Well, you know Twilight. Why not ask her?” She asked not taking her eyes off her book. “Because Twilight has other duties in Ponyville and this is taking her away from Equestria.” I answered, latter got her attention. “Well, why me?” She asked. “You are literally the only person I know that can help me with this...and the only other person I know.” I said honestly. “Hmm, give me a day to think about it.” She said. “Alright then.” I said, walking out. “It was nice to talk to you.” I said out of sight. I walked into an alley, I opened a Dark Corridor to Traverse Town again. This time I was in the alleyway behind the hotel. After closing it, I walked through the hotel to the second district, than to the first District where I entered a workshop where Geppetto, who was giving a puppet some final touches. “Hello Geppetto, I’m here for my Gummi ship.” I said with a hint of nervousness in my voice. “Ah hello, umm, I never got your name.” He asked. “Huxley, my name is, Huxley.” I answered. “Right, Huxley, let me take you to the Gummi hangar for your ship.” He said as we walked out of his workshop and towards the large doors that lead to the fourth district, then through there to the Gummi hangar. As we got to the Gummi hangar Geppetto stopped in front of a red gummi ship. “This is your gummi ship.” He said as I looked at it. Its appearance with a box square base with a dome on top where the cockpit is, having pair of wings on either sides with a square cylinder sticking out as a nose before ending in a diamond tip. Two booster or engines on the back to push it forward, lastly; (if I was inside of its point of view) the left weapon is a single fire gummi while the other side beside it is a V-fire Blizzard weapon gummi. Looking exactly like the Highwind from the first Kingdom Hearts game. “Well thank you for building it in such a short amount of time; Geppetto.” I said, though I wonder. “Um how do I get in?” I asked as he opened up a hatch on the bottom of the ship near the dock. As he showed me in the interior on the bottom was a bathroom and a living area. On the second floor was the bedroom with three beds and on the top floor was the main room where I sat at the pilot's chair. As I wondered how to start the ship, Geppetto handed me the key. “Here, Huxley.” I got up and followed him outside. “Again, thank you for assembling this so quickly.” I said. “No problem, it gives me time to spend time with my boy.” He said as he started to walk away. I returned to the cockpit and started up the ship before taking off. Yelping as I was blasted off before slowing down as he reached the atmosphere. “Now what to name it?” I asked myself as I thought for a good minute before remembering the name I gave my Gummi ship back when these were just games. “Excaliburn.” I said as I grabbed the controls and started the engines. If sora can fly this thing I can fly this thing I thought as I began to move from the hanger bay into space. [Canterlot, Celestia P.O.V.] I was about to have lunch in my chambers before the afternoon of teaching at the school when Blueblood came into my studies. “Auntie, why is that peasant still around?” He asked. “Peasant?” I asked before realising he meant. “You mean Huxley?” “Yes, that peasant you invited him to be here under the pretence of adopting him and he said no, so why is he still doing here?” Blueblood asked. “He is going to do a job for me, that's why he’s still around.” I said. “What job?” He asked. “Sorry that’s between him and I.” I explained. “Fine.” Blueblood said before he left mumbling to himself. As I took out my sandwich to eat I was interrupted by Luna. “Sister, we must talk about, Huxley.” She said. “What is it, Luna?” I asked. “We tried to gaze into his dreams for nightmares and it was guarded by some of the most powerful mental blocks we have ever seen.” Luna stated in uneasiness. “Why are you telling me this?” I asked. “Because there may be things he’s not telling us.” Luna said. “Luna, you are being to worried, you need to relax. You just got back from the moon, you still need to get acquainted with your surroundings.” I said as she sighed. “You’re right sister.” She said before leaving. She was right about one thing though, how did he know about those creatures. [Huxley P.O.V] As I landed the gummi ship in a clearing near the Everfree castle. I locked the ship up and opened a Dark Corridor to Canterlot. As I got back to the castle I saw Moondancer walking into the castle. I quickly caught up to her. “Moondancer!” I called as she turned her head. “Oh, Huxley, I was just looking for you.” She said. Turning towards me fully. “I’ve come to take the offer you’ve given me.” “Oh alright then let's find, Celestia.” I said. We walked through the hallways in silence, not knowing on what to say. Moments later we took a turn to encounter Gleaming Shield, guarding the door to Celestia’s study. “Oh, it's you. I’m sorry, Celestia is busy right now.” She said apologetically as she continued standing beside the door. “Well, it’s important so we need in.” I said. “Well if it's so important tell me and I’ll tell her.” She said. “I can’t tell you it’s between me and her...and Luna.” I said as Moondancer looked at me confused.”You know what screw it I’m going in.” I said reaching for the door before I was encased in a pink bubble. “Oh no you're not.” Gleaming Shield said as I looked around the bubble. I could easily escape via Dark Corridor but I wanted to keep that a secret till it was needed so I summoned my keyblade and hit the barrier a few time. Gleaming Shield keeped the barrier up without effort. “Give up you're not going to break that barrier.” She said as Celestia opened the door having a confused expression. “Whats going on here… and why is Huxley in the bubble?” Princess Celestia asked. “Oh your majesty! I was just following orders of keeping people out.” Gleaming shield said as she let me out of the bubble. She sighed in relief. “Thank you but I was hoping to talk to him anyway.” Celestia said as I got up from the floor. “Let's talk in the throne room.” She continued as she noticed Moondancer who stood there and watched the scene before her. “May I help you with something?” It took Moondancer a moment to realize the princess was talking to her. “Oh umm no your highness! I’m with Huxley.” She said as Celestia looked at me in confusion. “I’ll explain in the throne room.” I said as she nodded and we walked to the throne room. After a few minutes of walking we made it to the Throne room. “Alright Huxley, let's start with why Moondancer is here?” Celestia said. “Alright. I invited her as I know I can't do the job alone.” I said. “I would have assigned you a guard.” She explained. “I’m trying to keep the group small.” I replied. “Excuse me, but what IS the job?” Moondancer asked as she felt like they don’t know she's there and talking about her. I looked at Celestia before asking. “Could you make sure nobody comes in to disrupt us?” I asked as she waved her hands and a shield was erected on the only door to the room and anther shine happen but nothing else was seeable. “Alright, I cast a shield and silent spell. Nobody can come in or hear our conversation.” Celestia said as I took a sigh as I had a feeling this wouldn’t go well. “Alright, before I start, whatever is said here must NOT be said outside of this room.” I said as both Moondancer and Gleaming shield looked at each other uncertainty and then me before nodding. “Alright. Before I go over the job I must ask, how many of you know the tale of Nightmare Moon?” I asked. “I do but what does that have to do with anything?” Moondancer asked. “Well; to put it bluntly; when Luna turned into Nightmare Moon a part of her split off. Her heart was Nightmare moon while her body is somewhere else.” I simply said. They both looked at me like I was crazy. “You're joking right, that can’t be true.” Gleaming Shield said. “It's true.” Celestia said as Moondancer and Gleaming Shield looked at eachother again but more on shock. “I wouldn’t believe it myself until I saw the Heartless myself.” Celestia said. “What's a Heartless?” Moondancer asked. “It's what happens when somebody falls to darkness.” I answered before clearing my throat for the next part. “Now; back to the story, when the Elements of Harmony purified Nightmare moon there was an event that's only happened once before she was returned to normal. However unlike the other time her heartless split off which I defeated with this.” I said summoning the keyblade. “You could barely put a dent in my magic bubble, how could that oversized Key defeat Nightmare Moon.” Gleaming Shield asked in disbelief. “Because it's the weakness to Heartless.” I answered. “Now as for the Job; remember how I said Luna split into two. Her heart and body, well were hunting for her body which has been active for the past 1000 years.” I said. “Okay I’m going to ask this if this is real why haven’t we already found this other Luna if she has been active for a thousand years? We would have seen something of her by now.” Gleaming Shield said. “That's because she isn’t on Equestria or any nation of this world.” I said. As I said that they both looked at eachother then spoke in unison. “What?” “Okay this is complicated to explain but basically every star you see in the sky is a different world and before you ask the reason nobody has said anything is because it was hard to get to other worlds.” I explain. “Alright I’ll bite. If we really are going to other worlds then how are we getting there?” Moondancer asked as if this was a grand joke or some fairytale. “I’ll show you tomorrow if you are still interested.” I said. Moondancer sighed before asking. “Alright then, why tomorrow?” “Well for one we need to take a train to where I hid the method and two you two need a change of clothing. We need to be inconspicuous and the guard look gives us away.” I said. “Okay but I have a question. You said Luna was the second, who was the first?” Moondancer asked. “A boy named Sora used a keyblade to release his heart as it contained the heart of his friend who just so happened to be one of the seven princesses of heart-” I said before i was Interrupted by Gleaming Shield. “What like Princess Cadence?” Gleaming Shield asked. Ignoring that question I continued. “Anyway Sora was turned into a heartless and followed his friend before she recognized him...somehow. And with the power of the Princess of heart she managed to turn him back to normal and unlike the Elements of harmony his heartless didn’t materialise again.” I explained. “Alright then.” Moondancer said. “Okay then.” Celestia started “Moondancer, you have the right to say no to this job if you so choose but you need to choose now.” “Hmm… I agree to go, just out on curiosity.” Moondancer said. “I don’t really have a choice on this?” Gleaming Shield asked. “I was going to assign you to this job anyway, but if you don’t want to go...” Celestia said. “No, it's a direct order from you, I can't refuse.” Gleaming Shield said. “Right then.” Celestia said as we all got in line. “Your goal is to find Luna’s Nobody and bring her back to Equestria.” Celestia said as Moondancer and Gleaming Shield looked at Celestia. “What’s a Nobody?” “... Right, I knew I forgot something. Remember what I said that we’re going after Luna’s body, well when a Heartless is created a nobody is also created and that is the body of the original,” I explained as they looked confused. I sighed and started a lecture session. “Let me start from the beginning-” > Taking off remake > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As morning came I awoke bright and early to be taken to the armory with Moondancer who was asked to sleep in the castle and Gleaming Shield who lives in the barrack. I yawned as I walked up to Moondancer who looked half asleep and Gleaming Shield who looked alert. “Morning.” I greeted them. “Morning, Huxley.” Moondancer said groggily before yawning with a hand covered over for manners. “Hello.” Gleaming Shield greeted back. I noticed she wasn’t wearing her guard armor but a blue shirt with a star and shield on it with some blue jeans. While me and Moondancer did a few stretched Celestia decided to greet us. “Good morning!” Celestia said with a calming smile. “Morning Celestia.” I yawned before asking. “Not to be rude but why did you ask us up this early?” “Certainly, train to Ponyville leaves in an hour and you did say you were heading there for departure among the stars.” Celestia explain. “Yeah okay.” I said as Celestia opened the armory where we entered. As we entered Moondancer was attracted to a wand on a nearby wall while Gleaming Shield walked over to a locker with her name emblazoned. Opening it she pulled out a fancy shield and sword with Celestia's emblem on the center and guard. “You may pick anything you need for your journey.” Celestia said to Moondancer who took a wand having a similar image of the sun but having a moon below it as a swirl engulf them like a hug. “Aren't you going to take anything Huxley?” Celestia asked as she noticed I wasn’t taking anything. “I’m still looking.” I said as I noticed a pauldron that I could use for armor, I took it off the manikin and put on my shoulder, it fits. Seeing that we didn’t go for anything else, Celestia spoke. “Now that you’ve gotten your weapons and armour; I would like to give you this.” She handed a scroll to both Moondancer and Gleaming Shield but was odd that I didn’t get one. “It's a spell that allows you to summon your equipment's.” Well, that explains it. They both looked at the scrolls for a bit before putting them away for later study. “Now then; before you go, here;” Celestia handed me a bag of bits. “for your travel fee.” “Thank you.” I said as we left. Moondancer and Gleaming Shield managing to put their weapons away. An hour passed from walking to the train station, buying our tickets and enjoying breakfast at the train station pitstop food court. We stood in the platform, waiting for the train to arrive. Lucky we didn’t need to wait long as the sound of a train whistle was heard and said transparent came within view. “What’s the matter Huxley?” Moondancer asked. “First time on a train I’m a bit antsy.” I answered. I was a bit nervous, to be honest; this was the first time I ever got on a train. Before Moondancer could say anything the announcer for the train came on. “The train schedule to Ponyville will be leave in five minutes. I repeat: Train to Ponyville will be leaving in five minutes, all passengers please be on board immediately.” “Well, we better get on the train.” I said as we got on the train and finding ourselves a seat…. Few hours pass when we arrived in Ponyville, which look exactly like what it was before the whole shenanigan happened. As we step out of the passenger cart; we were greeted by a familiar pink colored girl. “Hia Huxley!” Pinkie said jumping. “Hiii Pinkie.” I said, unsure of why she's here. “Who are your friends?” Pinkie asked happily. “Pinkie, we're in a hurry; can we talk later.” I said as she sidestepped to the right as we passed by her while she waved them goodbye. As we walked through town I passed Carousel Boutique before remembering something. “I’ll just make a quick stop.” I said heading inside causing both Moondancer and Gleaming Shield standing there in confusion. As the bell rang and myself entering while closing it a familiar posh voice spoke up. “Welcome to Carousel Boutique; where everything is- oh Huxley! Here for your clothing?” Rarity asked for reassurance. “Why yes, I am.” I said as she bend slightly to grab something under the counter before handing me a bag of folded clothing. “Thank you.” With a smile nod from the fashion girl, I walked out. “Have a nice day.” Rarity said. Stepping outside, I was greeted by one of my companion. “You done with your errand?” Moondancer asked. “Yes and I was in there for less than a minute.” I said. “Still I don’t want to stay in this town any longer then I need to.” Moondancer said in a bothered tone as she walks ahead as we walked up beside her, continuing our track to the edge of town. “Why are we heading into this forest?” Both girls asked. “Because the way off the world is through here.” I said as I took the first step into the forest. As minutes; probably hours passed as we got closer to our destination to the forest clearing. “We should be close-” I was said was interrupted by a wolves made out of woods; or more like timbers; came out of the bushes. “Timberwolves!” Gleaming Shield said as she and Moondancer summoned their weapons while I summoned the Keyblade just as more came in view. There were five of them total but sounds of howls and barks told that there will be more coming. I hit one over the head before giving it a few more following hits (though I wasn’t use to swinging the thing so I was a bit slow but for some reason the enemy was staggered easily) as I finish it with one more down motion of my weapon that the golem shattered from the injuries. “Be careful they can regenerate!” Gleaming shield shout out a warning as she spun herself on one foot as her sword extended as it cut one (though only a scratch mark) and it wince while the rest back away; missing her other two target that's been trying to surround her. Despite it’s injuries; the cut Timberwolve growled before pouncing forward before being push back by the royal guard shield bash. “Why are they attacking us?” I asked knocking another one away; Sure wishing I had some fire magic right now. I thought to myself. I was only dealing with one at the moment though that changed when one other that was trying to attack Gleaming backed up just near him from her spin attack. “We must have entered their territory.” Gleaming said; cutting one on the head with her sword but moved it up for another strike. “Clear them out ‘Then’ run.” I shouted before yelping; the wolf behind me must have looked behind and took my distraction as an opportunity and bite at my right arm. “Are you okay?” Moondancer asked as she used her magical blast on one timberwolve that seems logic since it tried to get close to her. “Yeah; it's just a flesh wound.” I said as I threw the clamping wolf away. Few teeth puncture wounds are small but was soon healed by my new healing process. As we cleared a small path through more timberwolves came out of the forest. That wasn’t a good sign and I’m sure I don’t want to test how effective my healing factor can go. Taking our opportunity we ran towards our general direction. It took a few minutes running away from the wooden pack of timberwolves that soon changed as I saw the Gummi ship in the distance which was a god sent. “Over here!” I shout to the others as we ran towards the ‘Excaliburn’. As we got close to the gummi ship the Timberwolves stopped chasing us. “We must be near a predator.” Moondancer thought out loud as I opened the bottom of the ship. “Well let's not stick around to find out.” I said as we all got on the ship. “Welcome to the Excaliburn!” I said as they looked around. I placed my change of clothing in the drawers and stepped up to the cockpit. “You may want to take your seats. Gleaming takes the guns and Moondancer on navigation.” I said. They moved; though they went to the wrong spots. “Um; other way around.” I said to which they flown at me for not telling them the right places. As we began to take off I felt the ship shake. “That's not supposed to happen. Moondancer, what's outside?” I asked Moondancer. Girl in question looked at the unusual device. “I don’t know. I haven’t a clue on how to work this contraption.” Moondancer said perplexed as the rumbling became louder and a roar was heard. “I think that's a hydra!” Gleaming Shield said as I started to have the ship take off. “Gleaming; ready the guns, were taking this for a test run.” I said as we flew around to the hydra which was more taller than the trees within sight. Gleaming started pressing buttons as the Blizzard cannons fired two energy shots in a V direction while the Meteor cannons release two homing lasers; despite the former cannon miss but both Meteor lasers hit the Hydra. “Bullseye; Gleaming.” I said as few heads came off of the hydra, but as the legend said ‘take one head off; two more grow’. “Aim for the back.” I said changing my tune. “I’m trying.” Gleaming shouted. “Moondancer how’s the targeting coming?” I asked. “I’m working on it! I’ve never seen anything like this before.” She said as I flew around the Hydra. “Gleaming?” I asked. “I almost got it.” She said as energy from both weapons fired once again this time getting one of the Blizzard shots and both Meteor lasers to hit its back of the Hydra; causing it to fall over. “Great!” I said as I started to pilot my ship up towards the sky. After a good minute of flying up we were finally out of the world and into space. I stopped the ship and gave the two time to look. “Well are you two enjoying the view?” I asked. It took them a minute to respond but Gleaming Shield was the first to say. “It...incredible!” For Moondancer; she was just speechless. After another good minute of staring I grabbed the controls and slowly went further and further away from the world and after an hour of flying we were lost. “You have no clue where you’re going do you?” Moondancer state the obvious with a frown. “You're the on Navigation!” I tried to counteract but Gleaming got up and smacked me on the head. “Your driving so it's your responsibility regardless of who’s doing who.” Gleaming states as I turned my head and saw Hollow Bastion in the distances. “Everyone were about to head to a new world so seatbelts.” I said as I went in for a landing. After landing my ship and; with an okay; we step outside. Walking a bit; we found ourselves in the town's market. “Alright we need to buy some supplies.” I said as we walked around looking at the shops before accidentally bumping into Leon. “Sorry.” I said. “Hmm. It’s best you watch where you're walking.” He said in advice, calm tone before seeing the elf ears on Moondancer and Gleaming Shield. “You guys aren't from around here are you?” He asked as he looked over us. “Yeah were from a world call Equestria.” I said as Moondancer and Gleaming was a little late to covered my mouth. “Haha! What a kidder!” Gleaming Shield sheepishly said as I removed their hands from my mouth. “Guys relax this is one of the few worlds where you can say you're from another world.” I said. “You could have said that before we landed.” Moondancer argued. “Sorry it slipped my mind. Anyway I’m guessing you're Leon right?” I said asking Leon who moondancer groan with a facepalm while avoid hitting her glasses. “Yeah. Have we met?” He asked uncertainty. “No we haven’t but I heard about you from Traverse Town.” I said as he looked away. “Anyway I was wondering how Sora was.” I asked. “Who exactly?” He said. By that response I figured out ‘when’ I was. “Nevermind, not important.” I said as Gleaming Shield and Moondancer looked at me funny. “Anyway do you know where I can buy some non adventuring supplies like food I only saw a weapon shop and an armor shop.” I asked. “It's just right up there.” He said pointing to the top of the stairs with a thumb. “Thanks.” I said as we walked past him who looked at us leave. “So who’s Sora?” Moondancer asked. “I’ll tell you later.” I answered as we went to buy some food for our trip. While we were discussing what to buy I heard a scream coming from the market square. I walked until I saw- “Heartless.” I shout as I jumped down from the railing and began to fight. Twelve base Shadows were causing a ruckus before turning their attention to me. As I began to fight, Moondancer and Gleaming Shield looked at the fight worriedly. “Are those ‘Heartless’?” Moondancer asked scared. I lost balance for only a moment against one shadow as another jump in for a swipe. As it was only a few seconds in it dispured into dark vapers by a swipe of a sword/gun like weapon. Leon spun as he stop skidding from something, doing a back-to-back with me. He sling his gunblade ‘Lionheart’ on his shoulder. “Don’t let your guard down.” He said without looking at me in a advice, wise way. “Who cares! We gotta help them.” Gleaming said summoning her sword and shield and leap of the rail. Moondancer took a calm, deep breath as she follows with her summoning her wand but ran down the stairs instead as she too started to help. During our fight I heard Leon says something to me but I was knocked out by a sudden appearance of a ‘Fat Body’ heartless from out of nowhere who smack me from behind the head. Everything gone dark…. I woke up, first thing I did was looked around as my feeling of being on a soft ground instead of the rough ground. I found myself in Merlin's house more specifically on his bed. On one side of the room where the door is has two checkerboard with one begins on the wall while the other beside a booktable. A large computer contraption at the corner, seems to be on with the screen lit up. On my side was a stump length stair with a table on top and tea set and utensils. One bookshelf full of books; even some had to be on top after it became full. “Leon, why is there somebody in my bed?” Merlin asked. “Would’ve asked but you ‘were’ out.” Leon apologized as I sat up from the bed. Slowly sitting up in bed, wincing. “Ah, my head.” I groan. Recollect my mind and sense of self awareness, I got up, grabbing the back of my head. I looked around until I spotted Leon and his crew standing around chatting, seem Leon and the wizard was talking earlier but stopped by me no doubt. “W-where are my friends?” Concern evidence in my voice as I asked. “Their at the plaza. Told them your in good hands.” Leon said as he push himself of the wall he was laying, walking up to me. “Now then, why would a ‘Keyblade’ choose someone who can’t defend himself?” Quizzically asked himself. “Well in my defence I’ve only been in three sword fights in my life.” I said honestly. “Youch, that sound complicated.” Yuffie commented. Leon node before going thoughtful; after a moment he spoke. “Tell me, who’s Sora ? You mentioned this person before, who’s that?” “Okay take a seat; this might be a bit of an explanation.” I said before taking a deep breath despite saying so Leon and the others just stayed where they are. “Alright before I start what do you remember of freeing this world from Maleficent?” “Why do you ask?” Leon asked. “Because Sora is connected to that event.” I said as Leon looked at me suspicious. “Explain?” “Yeah. We’d know if there was somebody else was with us.” Cid said. “Unless someone messed with your memories.” I said as they looked like I said something crazy. “Alright you don’t believe me, let me explain. Basically there is this person named Namine who has the power over memories and she basically wiped Sora’s memories and by extension wiped everyone’s memory of him and his two companions.” I explained. “Explain why your not affected then?” Leon question. I looked at a wall and said. “let's just say i'm special.” Looking at them again I continued. “Anyway even if you don’t believe me I know you’ll change your mind in time.” I said as they looked each other in a silent conversation or just thinking and they're good at reading each other? “And why is that?” He said. “Well you're bound to remember eventually.” I said. “Look I know it doesn’t make any sense but-” I was cut off by Leon. “Look, I’ll give you benefit of a doubt.” Leon said as he watch me walking towards the door. As the door closed, Yuffie spoke up. “Do you ‘really’ believe him, Leon?” “So far, no. Time will tell if he’s right or wrong.” He said; grabbing his head as he try to recollect something. “But it did feel like he knew what we don’t. That worries me.” > Olympus Coliseum remake > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As I exited the house I was approached by Merlin who closed the door behind him. “Excuse young lad but I ‘overheard’ about you having a Keyblade.” He asked. I responded by summoning my keyblade. He observe the weapon with a “hmm” here and there. “Interesting… Would you happen to ‘learn’ any spells?” Looked at me for confirmation. “No, I don’t know any magic.” I said. “Hmm… Perhaps, I could give you a bit of a ‘push’ as youngsters would say.” He chortles; waved his hand for a moment as something inside me felt strange. “Hmm, seems your magic is lacking-” Muttering to himself as that tingling sensation fade away. “There you go! Try casting ‘Fire’.” I looked for a target but couldn’t see any except wooden crates. Seeing my predicament; the old wizard wiggle his finger on one crate as it became more animated, it floats in circles around me in a normal pace. Point my keyblade at the floating crate, once it was close to where I pointed; I cast. “Fire.” I said casting the spell. A spark ignite on the tip of the keyblade shaft as a fireball shot out toward the target while myself slip from the how much force it had and sat on my rump. The fire turn slightly as it head for the box before impact, luckily it didn’t burned. Probably from Merlin’s magic. Standing up from the feedback I turned to Merlin. “Thank you for teaching me this.” I thanked. “Think nothing of it. I only help you reach into your mana pool is all.” The wizard explained; “Sorry to cut short but I must be going.” before poofing in light blue puff of smoke. Shrug at his reason to leave I walked off. Returned to the Excaliburn I saw Gleaming Shield and Moondancer sitting around before they noticed me. “Huxley!” Gleaming said. “Hi.” I said as they looked at me. “What?” I asked confused. “We were worried about you.” Moondancer said in concern. “Oh sorry.” I said scratching the back of my head. “Anyway, we need to head off.” I explained. “We’ll get into position.” Gleaming said as they hopped into their chairs as I hopped into the pilot chair…. [In World Map; aka Space] An hour into our flight I thought about getting us someplace to train as we needed to be stronger for our journey ahead. Just as I thought this we flew over Olympus Coliseum. “Buckle up ‘girls’ were going in for a landing.” I said as I took Excaliburn in for a landing. At first, it was ruff as though an unknown force was pushing us away before it fades as we entered the atmosphere. As we landed near the Coliseum gate, Moondancer tapped my shoulder. “So, is ‘this’ world where we can say that we’re from other worlds?” Moondancer asked mildly, not wanting to make the same mistake twice. “I’ll tell you when we're on a world where we can freely say that.” I said. “Alright then. How do we approach this?” Gleaming Shield asked but she sounds like she more specifically talking to herself. “What?” I asked. “How do we start our search without looking suspicious?” Gleaming spoke again. “Oh.” I said realizing what she was talking about. “We’re not here to find Luna’s nobody, we're here to get some training in before we start the search,” I said, they looked at me dumbstruck. “Okay look; assuming Luna’s nobody is anything like Nightmare Moon she may not want to come back with us or worse want to fight us, so we need to be prepared.” “Well; it wouldn’t hurt to get use to fighting alongside each other.” Moondancer reasoned carefully. “That's true, we ‘really’ don’t know each other. We barely got out alive from the Timberwolves, and the time at… Hollow Bastion market square. Despite wanting to get this over with, if it’s a fight; we need to be ready.” Gleaming Shield agreed. “Great, I know of a guy that can help us.” I said as I got off the Gummi ship but stopped at the bottom. “Oh and before I forget, don’t trust a guy with blue flames coming out his head.” Both girls look at each other before looking back, Gleaming was the one who asked. “Alright… But why?” “Because, he will try to use us to kill someone important.” I answered as we start to head off the ship... As we got to the Coliseum I saw Hercules talking to Meg outside the main gate. “Hello.” I said greeting them. Hercules turn to us. “Oh hello there.” Hercules said as Meg turned to look at us. “You know them?” Meg asked receiving a shake of his head. “No. But, it's always nice to be polite.” Hercules said. “Is Phil here?” I asked. “Sorry; he left for a bit. Why do you ask?” Hercules said. “I was hoping he could train us for a few weeks because-” I paused before pulled out my keyblade. “- I have no clue how to use this.” I said. “Hmm… Don’t worry. Phil should be here in the next hour; I’m not sure if he’ll train you guys. Your gonna have to ask him.” Hercules said. As we waited Moondancer and Gleaming Shield looked at the winner rosters for the games and wondered. “Who is Sora?” Moondancer asked. “Hmm?” Gleaming looked to her fellow Equestrian before looking over at the banner for the Hades Cup. “Oh yeah; there he is again.” “I looked over each tournament and everyone of them has him in first place of the Phil cup, the Pegasus cup and the Hercules cup.” Moondancer said before looking at me with scrutinizing suspicion. “He mentioned someone named ‘Sora’ back at Hollow Bastion…. I wonder if they are the same person.” She said while Gleaming just shrugged. “Probably not. I’m guessing it's just a coincident.” Gleaming said as I walked over to see what was going on. “Hey, what's going on?” I asked as they turned to look at me. “Oh, we were just talking.” Moondancer said. “Okay great anyway Phil should be here any moment now… and speak of the satyr here he is now.” I said as Phil walked through the gate and heading towards the entrance. “‘That's’ Phil? I was expecting a little something more-” Moondancer started. “Human?” I said as she nodded. “Said the Elf.” I said as she looked at me confused “Elves aren't exactly common in the worlds.” I said as they blushed for some reason. “Anyway, let's talk him.” I said walking up to Phil. As we walked to Phil he was talking to Hercules before turning to us. “So~. Herc here tells me you want some training.” He said as I nodded. “Well what makes you think you even have the material to even train with me?” “Well... I have this.” I said pulling out my keyblade. “And…?” He said plainly crossing his arms. I sighed. “Look we really need to have your help.” “Sorry buddy, but I got enough things to do then babysit some kids with a giant key.” He said before Hercules spoke up. “Come on Phil, give them a chance.” Hercules said seeing that he’s trying to help. Phil thought for a moment before saying. “Alright, I’ll give you a chance. But only if you do a job for me.” I looked at my team and they looked unsure. “Alright then what's the job?” I asked. “I have some trophies for the next games, problem is ‘I’m’ too busy to pick them up. That's where you come in.” He said. “Okay then so where do we need to go?” I asked. “At Thebes. It's a few days away from the Coliseum gates, if you follow the signs you should get there in no time.” Phil said. As we were about to leave I had a thought. “These trophies have already been paid for right, we don’t have that much money.” I said. “Yeah, it's paid for.” He said as we just walked out towards the Coliseum. When I was out of earshot a voice in the shadows said. “So that satyr has some new kid to train.” Muttering before disappearing in blue flames. I took Moondancer and Gleaming back to the ship. “So why aren't we just take the Gummi ship to this place then grab the trophies and come back to Phil.” Moondancer asked. “Well for one he might suspect something bad if we returned within the same day with the trophies plus we have to keep the gummi ship a secret.” I said as they looked at me confused. ”Look just trust me we have to keep the worlds separate or else total chaos will happen.” I told them as they nodded. We then grabbed our bags of supplies for a few days and some munnie in case we ran out of food. Two days into the trip we came across a river where we spotted a light blue centaur trotting around in the stream. I remembered that this was Nessus a minor villain from the movie. “We should be careful.” I whispered. We tried to sneak around in careful steps as if walking around eggshells, Moondancer’s nose twitch slightly before giving out a sneeze. “Who’s there?” Nessus asked as he looked around for the sound, we came out of the bushes. “You trying to pass my river?” He asked, trotting over to me before he noticed the girls. If I didn’t know any better he was giving them a faint hint of dreamy eyes at them. “Hmm…. Tell you what pipsqueak; leave the girls with me and I’ll let you go.” He said, in retaliation we readied our weapons. “Fine. When you get to the underworld; tell Hades ‘Nessus’ sent you.” He state as though it was a fact. He charged in, expecting to just stomp on them since our height is at least chest shorter than him. We jumped out of the way, avoiding a squish or bone crushing. Just as I stood firm on the ground I cast ‘Fire’, hitting him on the side. He yelped from the sting and I went in for a hit, managing to squeeze in a combo or just a few extra before he backhand me, knocked me to the side. At this moment Gleaming and Moondancer took that opportunity to deal some damage of their own though since they aren’t use to working together yet; Moondancer accidentally hit Gleaming with a telekinesis bolt. “Sorry!” She squeaked, but added a yelp as she was smacked along with Gleaming by the Centaur. I got myself up and got in close, dodging a buck to the chest from his hind legs and cast ‘Fire’ again on his underbelly which seemed to hurt him the most as he shout and tried to move away. I managed to hop on his back which caused Nessus to grunt as he try to shake/buck me off wildly, holding on as best I could while hammered over his head a few times until his grew a cartoony long lump on his head and he fell over with my leg caught in between. I sighed as I got off the Centaur; -though I had a bit trouble at first to pull out my pinned leg -I went to Moondancer and Gleaming who; (while happy the fight was over) were arguing. “You should be more careful.” Gleaming said irritated. “You should watch where you’re going.” Moondancer retort, getting their heads together with them glaring at one another, I decide to intervene then and there. “Okay you two break it up. This is why we're getting training.” I said. They both looked at each other for a moment as though they are talking in silence before they sigh. Seeing this I continued. “Good now, Thebus should be close by. Let's find the Trophy shop and head back.” I said as we walked out. A few hours later we were in Thebes and we were lost. The city is ‘Huge’, with many building and with chariots and people moving often throughout the bustling streets, only ever exceptions where the ones in not much popular places like a side pond fountain. Anybody I asked for directions would either not tell us or flat out didn’t know. “Great. Where is the store?” Moondancer asked. “No clue. You would think Phil would have told us what it looked like before sending us.” Gleaming said as she looked around to spot at least what she assumed as a store holding souvenirs. I sighed as I looked around with little success. “I have no idea.” My eyes spot something, I saw Hercules walk into an alleyway. “Wait, Is that Hercules?” I asked as Gleaming and Moondancer looked to where I was pointing before we followed him. As we caught up to him he’d stop at a dead end where we caught up. “Hey Hercules wait up!” I shouted reaching forward to grab his arm when in an instant a puff like a balloon as smoke escaped. When it cleared out, two individuals I knew took the heroed place: Pain and Panic. “Got ya!” They yelled, running off as five Shadows and four Soldiers appeared in our path out of this narrow alley. Same path we came in. “Crud.” I grumbled, casting Fire then taking a swing at one, Shadow turned into dark vapors when I hit it. Gleaming and Moondancer were each taking on their own, but there was way more of them than us. Hating to use a cheap move, I cast fire repeatedly, taking out most of the Shadows before I couldn’t cast it anymore. Three more Soldier Heartless appeared just as I burn down my fourth Shadow. There was about seven left so I went in for whatever hits I could, Gleaming and Moondancer also taking out what they could. With a last Telekinetic Bolt; the final Heartless dissipated by Moondancer’s magic. Just as we thought we were done I heard a clap from outside the alleyway. “Well what do you know, you ‘can’ take care if yourself.” The voice said in amusement as I realised it was Hades. Guy with a blue flame as hair walked up a bit. “Hades.” I said angrily. “‘Thats’ me! God of the Underworld, The Dead, etcetera-etcetera! Hey-how are ya doin’.” He nonchalantly said. “So I take it you want something.” I deadpanned. “Aaaahhh Not ‘really’. I heard a commotion going on over here ‘and’ wanted to see what it was only to find you three.” Hades said. “Okay you’ve seen it.” I said before asking. “What do you want with us?” “Oh nothing nothing, honestly though; just wanted to see what was going on.” God of the Underworld respond. “And you’ve seen it now leave before I go Kratos on your butt.” I threatened. “Hey hey ha~y is that really necessary? Okay okay fine with me but ‘be’ careful, that attitude will get ya nowhere.” With that said he disappeared into a puff of smoke; leaving Pain and Panic behind who are a bit worry and panicky. “Umm Boss.” Pain asked only to get no response, yupe, he forgot about them. “I don’t suppose you two know where the Trophy market is?” Moondancer asked. “Y-Y-yes i-its two roads over to your left from that exit.” Panic said before him and Pain ran through said exit before turning the opposite direction, leaving out of sight. “Well that was weird.” Gleaming said as we walked out of the alley and head for the destination. Two days later we returned to the Coliseum with a cart full of trophies and gave them to Phil who was looking around in front of the gate. “Well It's about time.” He said. “Yeah sorry we didn’t know where the shop was and we ‘Had’ a run in with Hades.” As I said ‘Hades’; Phil laughed. “Yeah right kid! ‘You’ had a run in with ‘Hades’.” He said, I rolled my eyes. He was looking through the trophies; counting each one as he goes. “I’m not kidding. We really did have a run in with him. He said we weren’t worth his time.” I said. “Well then. If that’s truth then you should count your lucky stars that he did.” Phil said before turning back to me. “Welp h~eh... I did promise to ‘Train’ the three of you if you did this….” He muttered to himself before continuing. “Bah! Fine. But don’t think i’ll go easy on you ya hear…” For next week and a half was hard on us as we had to get up at dawn and fall asleep at the dead of night but we endured because we wanted to be better together. But then Phil came up to me alongside with Hercules as we pass by the gate. “I’m sorry Kid you don’t have the heroes spark in you I’m going to have to send you and your friends away.” “What?” I asked confused. “Your done, finished, compoots, overdone the cheese.” He said. “Why we’ve done everything you’ve asked and then some.” I said. “Its like I said, you don’t have the ‘spark’ of a hero in you and I only train Heroes.” Phil explained as Hercules looked down at him but said nothing. A feeling of angry rose up in my chest. My feelings of finally accomplishing Phils training finally paying was dashed away. I did everything he told me to do and this is what they get, stopping their training like it was nothing just because we weren’t ‘Hero’ material. I want to give this guy a piece of my mind! Despite wanting to do just that I couldn't do anything about it. If I tried to attack him then I would have Hercules to deal with plus my own team. Feeling like I couldn’t do anything about it, I took a deep breath and just said. “Fine then. I’ll grab my friends and we’ll leave.” I said as I went to look for my teammates. {3rd P.O.V.} As the young teen left to retrieve his comrades Hercules watched him head to the side where the tournament tapestry is. Seeing only Hercules and crotchety old satyr; he spoke. “Phil? Why did you send them off?” Hercules asked curiously. “It's simple kid, two thing. One, he was never going to learn anything on how to be a hero by training with me. There is something in him that just waiting to get out.” Phil said. Herc node in understanding before looking confused as he only raise one finger but didn’t… He shook his head chuckling. > The GGG remake > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two weeks passed as we went to Wonderland; (which went as well as you’d think; “OFF WITH THEIR HEADS!”) and let’s just say we beaten some card guards before heading our escape. After that, we headed for the Deep Jungle where we fought an ape who wanted to ‘take over Tarzan family’. “Me take over for Tarzan with shadow creatures.”. After that the gummi ship was making some strange noises; so we took it to Traverse Town to get it checked out. Gepetto found the cause; “Well, what kind of mess is this?! It’s like a monkey messing with a coo-coo clock!” but didn’t tell us why but did tell us what he needed to do. “I’ll just need some maintenance and it’ll be in good as new.” And after having to wait in a storage room for a few days; we were off the ground again. As we were lifting off we received a message from Celestia as Gleaming Shield state was “Summon from the princess herself” and about something but wasn’t specific on ‘what’ this ‘something’ is. “I wonder what Celestia wants?” I asked as we headed back to Equestria. “I don’t know, maybe she wants an update? After all, we didn’t even tell her what we did on our first destination.” Moondancer thought. I think for a second before saying. “Hopefully not since we don’t have much to report.” “We ‘did’ spend a month and a half training with Phil, only to be told that we weren't good enough to be trained.” Gleaming ends with a huff. “Well, we did get some good training that did help with the Card Soldiers.” I said as we floated over the world. “Alright, let's head to Canterlot.” I said as we stepped on our new teleport pad. After the feeling of phasing in and out, we found ourselves at the train station in Canterlot. We headed to the castle, moments later we arrived at the gate. where we were stopped by the guards outside the castle. “Sorry; the castle is in preparations for the Grand Galloping Gala.” The guard on the right said as Gleaming stepped forward. “We’re here on the orders of Princess Celestia.” She said, showing the scroll with both emblem and signature of Princess Celestia. “Alright then, I’ll go get someone to escort you to her.” The guard on the left said. Before he was able to leave Gleaming stopped him. “No need, ‘I’m’ actually a guard, taking time off on another job so I can assist them.” She explained. Guards looked at each other unsure of themselves before letting us through, Gleaming Shield walked by them as we just followed her. “Hope Shining Armor won’t get mad at us.” One of the guards I heard whispered to the other guard though I didn’t hear the rest as we were out of earshot. In the throne room, we were greeted by Celestia herself. “Hello Huxley, Moondancer, Gleaming Shield.” She said looking happy to see us as Moondancer and Gleaming bowed. “Hi.” I said casually, Gleaming and Moondancer looked at me all deadpan and tried to get me to bow. Celestia just giggled before I asked. “So what did you want to talk to us for?” She magically brought out a box containing three golden tickets. “I wish to personally invite you to the Grand Galloping Gala.” She said. I stared at her and asked. “Is that it?” All three of them looked at me funny though Celestia was just her raising an eyebrow. “I mean, the offer is nice, but you couldn’t have messaged us the tickets.” I said trying to understand. “I ‘could’ have, but if I did message you with the tickets ‘or’ didn’t ask you to come; you might have gone off somewhere and not know about it, or you might lose the tickets during your travels.” She answered in a was and kind way, I sigh as a result. “Well, I can’t argue there.” “Very well then.” Celestia said clap her hands together. “I expect to see you all there then.” She said happily. I was hesitant to respond as I didn’t like parties that much but I couldn’t refuse a personal invite from a princess herself. “Sure.” I said unsure. “Excellent! I’ll have one of our tailors make you three clothings for the Gala.” Celestia stated. As the week passed and we got ready for the Gala. I was given a nice suit from the people who designed Blueblood’s suits while Gleaming and Moondancer were given the royal treatment by Celestia's personal seamstress. Then, the night finally arrived and headed inside a huge room where many peoples wearing fancy outfits mingled. The event was boring as for most of the night it was just nobles walking up to me asking who I was then telling me how ‘important’ they were. I rolled my eyes at every times it happened (which was a lot) because my suit made me look important. But as I was ready to go outside and get some air a woman walked up to me and spoke in a french. “Bonsoir sir.” “Bonsoir mademoiselle.” I answered back before finishing up my drink but as I said that her face lit up with surprise. “Tu parle Prançais aussi?” She asked as she grabs one of the cup glass with the stem filled with rich red cherry drinks. “Un peu, pas beaucoup.” I answered. “Très bien, Then we shall talk in Equish. What is your name?” She asked, switching from French to English as she took a light sip of her drink. “Huxley, and your?” I said. “Fleur de Lis.” She introduced herself. We just kept on talking as the night went on. We mostly talked about her, not that she was self-centered but mostly about what she did in Canterlot like the charities she ran and stuff like that. As the party was wrapping up, I went to Celestia to say goodnight. That was; until the doors blew open and one of the lesser nobodies; Dusks; started to float/wiggled their way in and but they quickly stopped as a person in a black cloak entered the room. Seeing this, I quickly summoned Kingdom Key and rushed her as she was clearly bad news. I was about to strike her when three Dusks rushed me and restrained me and pulled me four feet away from the Nobody. Frowning at what she's seeing, Celestia walked towards the coat figure as she summoned a marble colored rapier and asked in a calm tone.  “Who are you?” The mysterious figure looked at her for a second before reaching for the hood and took it off to reveal a surprising sight. “L-Luna?” She gasps. ‘Luna’ spoke. “So, you do remember me, sister.” She paused as Dusks dragged out the other Luna. “Yet you replace me with ‘this’.” She gestured to the girl restrained as the nobody continues.“Let's not make this too confusing ‘sister’, you may refer to me as Xulna.” Xulna said. “Sister!” Luna cried out. “Silence ‘fake’!” Xulna said glaring at Luna in dislike. The Dusks squeeze the young luna who groan and wince but they stopped by the will of Xulna. “Okay I don’t care who you are but you threaten both my people and my sister and I will not stand for that.” Celestia said scornfully as she took a lunge stance and dash at Xulna with a thrust of her rapier. Xulna responded by summoning a scythe and sidestep with the pole of said weapon blocking the stab as it slid across each other. Seeing this Celestia flash appear a bit away by teleport and held her rapier upfront with stern eyes. Xulna snorted with a neutral expression as she has the pole of the weapon slung over her shoulder as she has her free hand to her side a bit twitchy. I was watching this and couldn’t help but warn Celestia. “Be careful. We don’t know what will happen if you kill her, it might affect Luna as well.” I shouted as Celestia blocked a incoming blow from Xulna as she swung her scythe down. Celestia asked an important question as they struggle to push one another back. “So why come here now? And not back then.” With a huff, Xulna uses Celestia's push to move back and jump one more for insurance. Xulna responded with slamming her Scythe arrowhead part into the ground, causing a bit of debris where it hit break off that leave a cracked spot. “Simple, I wanted to see you again…. I was heartbroken to see that you replaced me.” She said sombered, evidence of a harsh tone escaped her lips, all the while Celestia took into the air. “Don’t listen to her, she’s a nobody, she doesn’t have a heart.” I cried out on the restrain. Tching at the blunt words, Xulna dashed at me and gut-kicked me away, causing a gasp to escape my lungs as I skid to stop. “What would you know you Incompetent FOOL!” She said bluntly in kind. She narrowly dodged an attack from Celestia as she descend with an aerial down swipe of her rapier. Seeing that there's no reason to go any further she flicked her hand beside her, a dark corridor opened up. The Nobodies soon warped away in grey and white thorn vines. “We'll meet again ‘Sister’.” She said giving the other luna a stern look before she walked through the dark corridor. I quickly got up after feeling the restrains are gone to chase after her but was stopped by Celestia. “You have no chance of beating her.” Celestia said as the corridor vanish out of sight. Seeing that following the attacker isn’t an option she walked over to the young Luna. “Are you alright?” Celestia asked. “Yes…. But, why did she call me a fake?” Luna asked. Celestia help her younger sister up as said girl wince when she tried to get up. “Probably because she believes ‘she’ is the real Luna.” I answered with a wince as I held my chest for a bit. “Whatever the reason, bring Moondancer and Gleaming Shield to the meeting room, I’ll gather the bearers of harmony.” Celestia said as I nodded in response. A while later, I gathered Gleaming Shield who told me Moondancer went back home when she saw Twilight Sparkle. “I take it she doesn't want to see Twilight.” I said as we approached the throne room. When we entered, all attention from the element bearers and princess went to us as their eyes are currently on us; hence the reason. Twilight was the first to speak. “Gleaming, is that you?” “Hey cousin.” Gleaming said happily with a wave of a hand. “Hello, Huxley...where's your other companion?” Celestia asked. “She went to bed early so we couldn’t get her.” I said. Celestia looked at me, feeling that there’s more to it but she didn’t push for more. “Very well then, could you inform her about what we’ll be discussing on a later note.” Saying this she return to her usual unreadable expression as she got straight to business. “Since now that we’re all here, we can begin. Earlier today, during the time of the Gala ending, we received a surprise visitor, namely Xulna, the nobody of Luna if I believe.” Celestia explained though six girls looked confused by this. I then spoke. “I explained this to you before and you forgot?” I asked. “Give us a break. It's been over two months since we last saw you, we have other things in mind too so don’t expect us to remember everything.” Rainbow said in her raspy voice. I rolled my eyes. “Fine. A Nobody is created when someone is turned into a heartless like Nightmare Moon for example.” I answered. “Alright then, what does she want anyways?” Rainbow asked. “We don’t know.” Celestia said. “Her ulterior motives are unclear, that gives me great concern.” Everyone looked around nervously. “And what do you think this ulterior motive was?” I asked. “I don’t know but I do know this, you need to is get stronger Huxley. Its quite clear she won't come quietly and your strength is much to be desired.” Celestia said to me as she turned to the element bearers. “As for you six, you need be ready if she goes after you.” “Don’t worry Princess we’ll be ready for her.” Twilight said. > The Dragon Lands (unedited) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- I woke up in a cave and wondered how I got here. “Where am I?” I asked as I heard something walk behind me I quickly summoned the keyblade and turned around to see a blue dragon eating a gem who stopped when they say I was awake. “Oh you're awake.” The dragon said. “Where am I?” I asked pointing my Keyblade at her. “Dragonlands.” She said flatly “Now come on my father wants to see you.” She said as she grabbed my hand and dragged me to outside the cave to a secluded area. “Father I brought the human.” She said as a large dragon flew over and landed in front of us. “ So you are the Keybearer.” He said as I took a step back. “Uhh yes that me.” I said. “I am Torch the Dragon lord.” he said. “Why was I brought here?” I asked. “ I brought you here to see if what my ancestors said of the keyblade were true.” he said as I was confused “ The ancestors of my ancestors were the Primordial dragons whom were said to have lived when the worlds were one.” he said as I was about to ask questions when he continued “ The primordial dragons were the ones who fought in the keyblade war..” He finished. “Alright I appreciate the history lesson but that can’t be the only reason you brought me here.” I said. “ I brought you here for one purpose to create a keybearer for the dragons. he said. “That could be a problem I don’t know how to pass a Keyblade to someone.” I told them. “ Then there is only one way to get our champion.” he paused “ The Two of you will mate.” he said as my face went red I took a quick glance at the other dragon who was confused. I took a step forward to ask the second question that came to my head “Is this even physically possible?” I asked. The female dragon then brought out a potion before she said “I was wondering why you needed this.” “ Drink that and it will turn you into a dragon.” he said. I took a look and asked “It's not a permanent potion is it?” I asked. “ No it will only keep for a day or two.” Torch said. “Well then I’m guessing I can’t just leave.” I said. “ No.” Torch said flatly. I thought about it for a second as I knew I could just use a Dark corridor to escape but that would raise some questions back in canterlot that I don’t want to answer yet and might cause them to not trust me. “Okay tell you what how much of that potion do you have?” I asked. Torch opened his mouth to answer but his daughter answered for him “Counting this enough for a week or two.” “Alright how about this I look around for a dragon worthy of the keyblade if I can’t then i’ll sleep er mate with-” stopped as I realized I didn’t know her name. “Ember” She said. “Okay If i can’t find one worthy of the Keyblade I’ll mate with Ember.” I said as I was handed the potion I took a sip before chugging it down it tasted bitter but not horrible and within seconds my body began to change. My skin began to flake off, the strange magic even affecting my clothing, my clothes molding into the scales that rose up from my flaking skin. My bones snapped, regrew and reshaped themselves into a taller, heavier form, a form of a dragon. I felt bones and flesh growing outward on my back as wings grew out. My fingers becoming claws, a tail growing out from just above my butt. Even my pants and boots molded into my new form. Finally, when it stopped I was about the height of Ember, slightly more built, and black from head to tail, the only exception being my claws and eyes. I took a deep breath as I got accustomed to my new form slowly moving my body around to make sure I don’t break anything. “Are you ready?” Ember asked. “Yeah give me a second.” i said as I finished stretching before she lead me to the entrance of the cave as we walked to the other entrance of the cave where I saw a bunch of dragons and gems I was impressed to say the least. Maybe finding someone worthy of the keyblade won’t be so hard at all. As we walked I took a quick look around when I was greeted by a red dragon “How come we haven't seen you around before?” The dragon asked. “Yeah I flew here yesterday.” I answered. “Well then names Garble let me show you round the place.” Grable said. “Yeah... I already have a escort.” I said as Ember walked up. “There you are don’t wander off.” Ember said as she saw Garble. “Garble.” she said flatly. “Ember.” Garble said before turning to me “Maybe you should think of finding a better Dragon to show you around then this softy.” Garble said. “Come on lets just go.” Ember said. “Aw what's the matter ember you gonna complain to daddy?” Garble said as we tried to walk away Garble said something he shouldn’t have “Yeah walk away just like your mother did from a runt like you.” Ember took a look at Garble before I walked up to him “Alright it's one thing to insult someone but to insult their past is a whole different story.” I said. “Yeah what are you gonna do about it?” He asked as I punched him square in the jaw before he tackled me to the ground and started pummeling me. As he was beating on me everything suddenly went black and when things returned I felt a weird goo on my hand and the taste of blood when I looked around Garble was limping away holding his neck as he turned around to look at me I noticed he was missing an eye. “What... happened?” “I don’t know.” Ember said confused “You went feral but that shouldn’t be possible the potion was just to give you dragon like traits but not turn you into a full dragon.” she said. “Then how were we supposed to...?” I stopped as she got what I was saying. “Lets just say it's one of the traits and leave it at that.” She said. The next few days were fruitless as most of the younger dragons here were too selfish to help others or to young to understand what I wanted. As for the older dragons I didn’t know what to do with them If i were to pick one of them they would either have Keyblades the size of a house at the smallest or have tiny keyblades that they couldn’t use. So I was worried I would actually have to ‘mate’ with Ember a fact we were both uncomfortable with. “It's the last day to find a keyblade user.” Ember said. “Yeah I know.” I said before I took a drink of the potion I was still not use to the taste. “I’ll give the dragons of this place one last look before your father makes us...” I stopped as she got the point. As I wandered around I was approached by a dragon who was larger than the other teenage dragons spoke “The elders have summoned you.” I nodded and followed to a secluded area where six dragons were sitting atop some plateaus. I noticed however the Dragon lord was missing from this thing. “Wheres Torch?” I asked. The largest dragon then spoke “Torch will not be joining us as he is not needed for this.” I looked behind me and the dragon who escorted me was standing there with a few more large adolescent dragons. “Whats going on?” I asked cautiously. “ You attacked another dragon which normally would be fine as we do tend to attack each other but you went feral, And as you know there are legends of the rise of Nergigante the devourer of dragons-” the Dragon was cut off by another dragon. “Oh let's cut the explanation were going to put this feral beast down anyway.” The other dragon said as the three large adolescent dragons marched forward. I quickly looked around there was no way through those guys and I couldn’t fly so I had no other choice but to run away into a Dark Corridor towards Ember. “Huxley what?” Ember asked. “No time to explain you have to hide me elder dragons are trying to kill me.” I said. “Now hold on first explain what that shadowy door is.” she said. I sighed “Fine I can use darkness to travel to places like other worlds.” I explained. “Wait what?” “Look where is your father?” I asked. “He was sent by the elders to-” I stopped her “Damn it the elders are trying to kill me.” I said. “Why do you say that?” Ember asked. “Well there was the whole ‘put this feral beast down thing’” I said before sarcastically saying “Other then that I don’t know” “Well it sounds like they do want to kill you but why?” SHe asked. “They said something about nerdy dante.”I said as she paused before releasing. “Nergigante the devourer?” she asked as I nodded “They think your Nergigante?” she said. “I don’t know what that means but yes they think I am that.” I said. “Oh this is bad the elders can only be overturned by the dragon lord and right now my father is gone for the day.” she said. “Do you know where he went?” I asked. “Yeah I do but If I go after him you won’t have anywhere to hide.” She said. “I know but I can buy time plus I have few secrets left.” I said as she nodded and went to find her father. Two hours passed as Ember found her father floating above a ravine confused. “Father the elders are trying to kill Huxley they believe he is the next coming of Nergigante.” Ember said. Torch turned around before saying “If what you are saying is true then we must hurry.” he said as he grabbed Ember and flew off back to the dragonlands. Meanwhile back in the dragonlands I was busy fighting the three dragons and I was losing. “GRAH” I screamed as one of them pinned me to a wall so I quickly summoned my keyblade and smacked the dragon before taking a deep breath as purple fire came out of my mouth. The dragon backed off and I attacked knocking the dragon down. “Well then do it Nergigante.” He said as I knocked him out with the keyblade. I then turned to the other two and gave them a look as they charged me I quickly dodged out of the way but my tail was caught by one of them and I was dragged back where I was quickly placed against a wall he was about to use one of his claws to smack me but I grabbed his claw with my free claw and struggled to keep him from clawing my face off...not sure if the healing factor could heal lost faces As I was knocked down I was dragged back to the six elders whom the largest one said “ We’ve learned from our mistake you have nowhere to run Nergigante.” as the dragon that was holding me grabbed my neck and began to hold me inplace for the elder dragon to fly down and look at me “ Now-” He was stopped by a voice in the distance. “STOP! Torch ordered as the dragons holding me in place let go. “ that one is under the protection of the dragon lord. he said. “He’s Nergigante he’ll kill us all.” the eldest dragon said. “no he’s not he’s a keyblade wielder Torch said. “ There are no such thing as keyblades that was just a legend that our elders told to entertain us as hatchlings. the eldest dragon said as I summoned my keyblade. “You were saying and I’m pretty sure that this nerdy dante-” I started as Ember cut me off. “Nergigante” Ember corrected. “-Whatever is also a legend” I finished. “ The six of you have deceived me into going on a wild hunt while you were to kill the keybearer. And for that I banish you from this flock.” Torch said as they looked at eachother. “You can’t do this!” One of them said. Torch simply roared as magic surrounded them and they all fled while the three hench-dragons just stood there confused what to do. “ You three are free to go as you were just there pawns of there games but be warned should this happen again you will be punished.” Torch said as the three just ran off. I looked at Torch before he spoke “Have you found a suitable bearer for the key?” “I think I may have.” I said summoning my keyblade and walked towards Ember before handing her my keyblade. “I’ve been looking for someone who’s been right in front of me the whole time.” I said handing her the keyblade. She reluctantly grabbed the keyblade before handing it back to me “So what now?” she asked. “Well it takes time for the keyblade to come it took another keybearer 10 years before he could summon his.” Torch then spoke “She has till the great Migration to summon it or you’ll do your other promise” I looked at Ember who was trying to summon her keyblade “Well lets hope she does...now can I get a ride back to Canterlot?” I asked as Torch picked me up and flew away. > Down time (unedited) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As Torch dropped me off in the Canterlot gardens when the potion finally wore off. I looked around to see a guard standing there in awe of Torch flying away. “Umm hey could you take me to Celestia?” I asked. “Oh umm sure.” He said confused as he wondered what had just happened.  As we entered Celestia’s court Celestia was filing papers. “Princess this person was just dropped off by a dragon and he asked to see you.” The guard said Celestia raised her head in confusion. “Huxley?” she asked surprised to see me. “In the flesh.” I said as she put her paperwork down and walked over to me hugging me. “Umm what?” I asked. “I thought you were dead.” she said. “Nope turns out the dragon lord wanted a keyblade user for the dragon lands.” I said. “So you were never in any danger?” She asked. “Well the elders tried to execute me for reasons unrelated to the keyblade but Torch sorted things out.”I said. “Well I am relieved that you are safe come you must be hungry.” She said as I was lead to the dinning hall to get some non gem food. As I ate Celestia sent for Moondancer and Gleaming Shield. As they entered they were surprised to see me “Huxley?!?” They shouted as they rushed towards me. “What happened to you!” Moondancer asked. “I was taken by the dragon lord.” I said. “Don’t be so casual about it” Gleaming said. “Well it's true.” I said. “How did you survive dragons don’t like humans in there territories?” Moondancer asked. “The dragon lord had a potion.” I said as I finished my bacon. Moondancer thought about it for a second before asking “How did it taste?” I paused before saying “It was bitter why?” Moondancer started pacing repeating the words “This is bad.” “Why is it bad?” I asked as Celestia filled me in. “Modern transformation potions have a sweet taste to them what you probably drank had to be at the minimum a few centuries old.” Celestia said. “Soooo...?” I asked confused. “Huxley those potions alter your genetics.” Moondancer said as I was confused. “She means that unless you mate with a dragon your children are going to be...” Celestia paused before saying “Different in a bad sorta-of way” she finished. “Different how?” I asked. “Lets just say they have a low chance of survival and leave it at that.” Moondancer said. “Is there a cure?” I asked. “Yes unfortunately it has some side effects which are permanent.” Celestia said. “I don’t have a real choice do I.” I said looking down at the plate of food in front of me. “I’ll go get it.” Celestia said. “Wait it's not a needle is it?” I asked. “No but we will need to bring you to a hospital for some tests because these potions haven’t been made in a long time and we need to make sure that you are fine.” Celestia said as she left and I just sat there looking at the ground. Moondancer and Gleaming tried to comfort me but after a minute of trying they say it was a losing battle and they simply left me to be alone with my thoughts. A few minutes later Celestia came in with a bottle of a potion and said “Here drink this it should fix the problem.” I looked up to her and from the look on her face she could tell that I was crying before I said. “You never explained what to potion will do.” I said. Celestia took a moment to compose herself as she didn’t expect to see me like this. “This potion will minimise the damage the other potion has done to you...but it will also alter you to be a quarter of what you transformed into.” She said as she poured it into a cup for me to drink. “Luckily for you the you don’t have to drink it all just this amount should fix you.” she said as I took a sip it tasted awful but I grabbed the tip of my nose and drank it all down. As I finished it Celestia motioned me to stand up and follow her. I was lead to the hospital were they did a blood test on me just to be sure the potion did its thing. As I was in the waiting room the doctor came out to speak to Celestia. “Princess as far as we can tell the potion did its job right but we’re going to need to take further tests in a few months.” The doctor said before turning to me “Where did you get that potion anyway?” The doctor asked. “I was taken to the dragon lands where they gave me the potion.” I answered as the doctor laughed. “Thats a good story.” the doctor said before he said “Now how did you really get that potion?” I gave the doctor a glare as I said “I’m telling the truth.” The doctor was about to lecture me when Celestia said “I can confirm his story as he was taken by a dragon last week when that dragon flew over Canterlot and was returned when the same dragon flew over this morning.” The doctor took a second to take that all in before saying “Very well I believe you but if you head back there you can’t use that type of potion again.” He said. “But the dragon lord asked me to return during the migration.” I said leaving out the part where I would have to mate with his daughter. “Hmm well I have forbade you from using that potion again the modern version however is still usable but you have to talk to Celestia before you use it and you can only be there for a few days.” The doctor said as Celestia nodded. “Alright” I said before me and Celestia left the hospital. During my days of rest I requested I head to ponyville to do some business. When I arrived I headed straight for the Mayor's office to do something. As I entered the office Mr. Turner was organising some files and wasn’t paying attention to the door. “Just take a seat the Mayor will be with you in a moment” “I’m not here to see the mayor.” I said as he turned around and was startled by what he say. “Your supposed to be dead.” he said jumping back. I laughed and said “I got better.” “You don’t get better from a stab through the heart.” he said. “Trust me i’m alive i’m not weak.” I said. “Fine what do you want?” he said. “Whoa no need to be hostile I just want to know if the house I paid for was built?” I asked. “No we never went through with that since we believed you were dead we can have it built i three days if you’d like.” Mr Turner said. “No actually I’m here for my money back I’ve been spending most my time in Canterlot.” I said as he looked at me. “Well sense we haven't built the house yet we can give you 750 bits back the other 250 bits are being kept as taxes you understand.” he said. I nodded and took the munny and said “Thank you for understanding.” I said before I walked out. While I was in town I payed a visit to the Cakes for some food before I took the train back to Canterlot they were just as surprised to see me as Time Turner was. After that I returned to Canterlot where I rested for a few days and took another blood test to make sure the potion worked as intended “Well Huxley I can safely say that the potion worked as intended and you are-” he paused before saying “fine for lack of a better word.” “Alright then.” I said before asking “How common is this?”. “It isn’t.” he started “your the first person to be treated of this in over a hundred years...one of the major ingredients to the potion was made extinct to prevent this sort of thing to ever happen.” The doctor said. “Alright we’re not here to get a lecture doctor.” Celestia said. “Your right Princess but I must talk with you in private.” he said as they walked into his office. “What is it doctor?” Celestia asked. “I’ve checked with nearly every hospital to find anything related to Huxley, we couldn’t find anything on him no birth certificate no nothing we couldn’t even track his lineage with blood magic and we are sure he’s human as the dna test apart from the new dragon dna is 100% human so we are unsure on how we want to deal with this.” The doctor said. Celestia looked at the doctor before saying “I’ll go talk to him about it in a more private setting but thank you for addressing your concerns.” A few days after that Celestia confronted me about my lack of a birth certificate “Huxley I need to talk to you.” Celestia said as she entered my room luckily i was just staring at the ceiling looking at my hand. I sat up and asked “This isn’t about adopting me again is it?” She shook her head before she said “It's about the fact you don’t have a birth certificate.” I sighed “Well I guess it's clear I’m not from this world then.” I said. She took a moment to think before saying “I understand but that still means you need a birth certificate.” she paused for a second before saying “I can have one made but i’m going to need something from you.” She said. I took a second to think before asking “What?” “I need you to get stronger Huxley.” She said. “Alright I can promise that.” I said as she left. A few more days passed as the cure finished its effects. As we waited in the throne room for Celestia I talked to Moondancer and Gleaming shield. “Hey Huxley how are you feeling?” Moondancer asked. “I’m feeling fine.” I answered it wasn’t the whole truth but they didn’t need to know that. “That's good” Gleaming said as Celestia came in and Moondancer and Gleaming bowed while I waved. “Hello everyone I hope you had an enjoyable rest but its back to business.” Celestia said as I stepped forward. “As you know during the Grand Galloping Gala Xulna or Luna’s nobody attacked at the end of it and made her presence known before we were just on a wild goose chase.” I said. “So what do we to do?” Moondancer asked. “Well first we need to head to Traverse Town and get our gummi ship upgraded before we do anything as it takes us hours at best days at worst.” I said. “Then what?” “Then we hunt down a group known as Organization XIII if they don’t know where she is then-” I was stopped by Celestia. “We’ll find something else if they don’t know where she is.” Celestia said. “ALright but who is the Organization?” Gleaming asked. “Basicly Nobodies like her who control the lesser nobodies” I answered. “Alright so we wait for a few days for the Gummi ship then we hunt down these nobodies.” Gleaming said. “Well I want you to take this to the person that's going to upgrade your ship.” she said as she handed a piece of paper I looked confused then she explained “This is essentially a blank check. I will pay any amount for your upgrades...with the note that the ship belongs to Equestria.” She said. I was hesitant to agree as this as this could be a bad idea but I had no real choice in this “Alright.” I said hesitantly as Celestia nodded. A few hours later we s we teleported back on to the Gummi ship I set the coordinates of Traverse Town and we were off. > Getting the Gummi ship ready (unedited) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As we landed in Traverse Town we went straight to Geppetto’s home. I knocked on the door. “Mr. Geppetto?” I asked as he opened the door. “Ah Huxley what can I do you for?” he asked as I handed him the note from Celestia “Hmm what's this?” he asked as he read. “Well then It’ll take a week or two to get your ship like this Celestia wants and it will be expensive.” He said. “Well she is willing to pay any price to make her sister whole...plus she keeps the ship after we find her,” I said. “That could be a problem...not for building the gummi ship just a problem in general.” He said. “What could be?” Moondancer asked. “The fact Celestia wants to keep the gummi ship it could be a problem in the future,” I said. They both looked insulted when I say that “How dare you imply that of the Princess!” Gleaming said. “Look I’m saying that sometimes the best intentions have the worst outcomes.” I said as they still looked insulted “Okay let me give an example when she tried to cure Luna of her darkness when she became the heartless Nightmare moon, she used the elements of Harmony with the best intentions and what resulted from that was a thousand years of loneliness.” I said as they looked at each other confused. Before they could speak Geppetto coughed and I turned to him “Yes well as I was saying the Gummi ship should be built in a week or two.” I nodded and asked, “Is it alright if we take the ship back to Equestria to get the payment then pay you.” “Sorry it's not that I don’t trust you its just I need to make sure that the payment is delivered and what's stopping you from just taking the ship?” he asked. Moondancer was about to argue that but I said “That's fair.” I said as Moondancer and Gleaming looked at me confused. “there really is nothing stopping us from taking it and you don’t know us well enough to say otherwise.” I said, “So how about this you join us on our voyage back to Equestria and we get your payment there before we bring you back via the warp.” I said. He thought about it for a moment before saying “All right but one of you stays behind.” “Alright then,” I said. Two weeks passed as we helped Lightning with her duties around the town. But as the time came I boarded the ship with Moondancer and Geppetto and we were off “Alright let's take the new Excaliburn for a test run to Equestria.” I said. As we flew through space we were going faster than we had gone with the old Excaliburn we got to Equestria in half the time. As we arrived above the world I took it in to and head towards Canterlot Castle. When we hovered above the castle we tried to land but as we got close the guards fired upon us. “What are they doing?” Moondancer asked. “Moondancer take the controls I’ll talk to them,” I said as I quickly got to the end of the ship and opened the bay door. “Huxley what are you doing?” Moondancer asked. “Making it clear what happens when they attack my ship.” I said putting on a wireless headset and jumping out “Cockpit can you hear me?” I asked as I fell to the ground. Geppetto answered, “Uh yes I can hear you why are they firing upon us?” As I landed I answered his question “I’ll find out soon” I said as guards surrounded me. The Captain of the guard walked up and said “You and your airship surrender.” I stood up and stared at the captain of the guard “Slight problem with your logic that's not my ‘airship’ it belongs to Celestia.” I said as the captain grabbed me. “Yeah, right I’d know if that belonged to Celestia.” The captain said. I summoned my keyblade and Knocked him down before running towards the castle “Moondancer Are you back at the controls?” I asked. It took a second before Moondancer answered “Yes why?” “I need you to fire the fira cannons at the ground to scatter the guards,” I said as I dodged a guards tackle. In the cockpit, Moondancer was looking for the button to fire the Fira cannons Geppetto got up and pointed to a button. “It should be right here,” he said. “Right firing now,” she said as she hit the buttons. “Good now try not to aim for them my heart couldn't take it,” Geppetto said as the cannons hit the ground scattering the guards and giving me an opportunity to run into the castle. Inside the castle, I was being pursued by some guards including the guard captain. “Stop!” the captain ordered. As I was nearly to the throne room when the captain tackled me down. “You want to see Celestia so much let see her so she can give you a quick verdict for attacking the castle.” The captain said as two guards picked me up and dragged me into the courtroom where Celestia was talking to a group of people. “Princess this vandal used an airship to attack the castle.” Celestia looked away from the people she was talking to see me being held by two guards. “Huxley why?” “I was coming to deliver your ship but your guards attacked us,” I said as she sighed. “And the ship firing upon the guards?” she asked. “I had to scatter them so I could get inside,” I answered. She put her hand on her head “Guards let him go and let the ship land.” she said. “But Princess-” The captain said. “No buts captain Armor that's my ship he’s piloting and I don’t want to have to pay for it to be repaired before I get it,” she ordered. The captain sighed as he said “You heard the princess let him go.” as the two guards let me go. “Thank you.” I said as I contacted Moondancer “Hey Moondancer can you hear me?” I asked as Celestia looked confused. “Yeah, I hear you.” She said. “You can land now.” I told her as I hung up. “Sorry I have a communicator in my ear.” I said. Celestia look interested when I told her than and a little disappointed when I didn’t explain what it was. As we walked to the courtyard I explained that the Gummi ship maker came to Equestria to get his payment in person. As we entered the courtyard there were people trying to get a good look at the gummi ship as we walked out and met with Moondancer and Geppetto who were getting out of the ship. “Hello there.” Celestia greeted. “Ah hello there,” Geppetto said. “Shall we talk inside?” Celestia asked as Geppetto nodded and we all went inside the castle. Inside the castle, Geppetto handed Celestia a piece of paper with how much it cost. “15400 bits?” she asked. “Yes you did ask for top-tier items and those don’t come cheap my dear.” He said. “Actually I’m surprised it's the lower then I thought I was worried I would have to dip into some more personal funds,” she said as she brought out a medium sized chest with the bits inside. “Here you go Mr. Geppet, too.” “Well thank you,” he said as guards carried the chest to the ship as Geppetto followed. “Now Huxley I want you to meet the crew of your new ship.” She said as I was confused. “Every ship needs a crew,” she said as a few people came out that I recognized as the people she was talking to when I was brought in by the guards. “First up is the best airship Pilot in Equestria Jet Flash,” she said pointing to the young woman. “Honor to meet the captain of the ship.” She said. “Second is the best engineer in Equestria Red Green,” She said pointing to an old man “You don’t fix everything with duct tape do you?” I asked as he looked like Red Green from the Red Green show. “Only when I need to,” he said. “The other two are his apprentices whom will help with the maintenance.” Celestia finished. “It's nice to meet you,” they said in unison which creeped me out a bit. “Well then shall I show you the ship?” I asked as they nodded and followed me to the Excaliburn. “This is the Excaliburn,” I said as we got on as the guards left the ship. “The treasure is safely onboard Princess.” the guard said. “Thank you,” she said as we all got on. As Geppetto lead us to the engine room where the three looked at the engine in wonder “Well I’ve never seen an engine like this before but I do love a challenge.” Red said. “I’ll take us to the control room,” I said leaving Red and his apprentices to study the engine. “If you don’t mind I would like to fly us for the start of this journey,” I asked as Jet Flash looked insulted. “I’m the ace pilot here I’ll fly.” She said. “Okay, whats the height we need to head to Traverse Town?” I asked. “The standard Airship height is around 2500 feet in the air and I’ve never heard of Traverse Town.” Jet Flash said. “That's what I thought let me get us to the appropriate height before you take control,” I said. “No I’m going to do what I was hired to do,” she argued. “Moondancer,” I said “Yes, Huxley?” “Open the map,” I ordered as she did as I asked. As the map opened Jet looked confused. “This isn’t a map of the world what is it?” she asked. “This,” I said pointing to Traverse Town. “Is where we are heading and this” I pointed to Equestria “Is where we are.” Jet was more confused. “Wha-?” she said. “Look just let me pilot for a short bit then it’ll make sense to you,” I said. When everything I started the ship and gave an announcement over the ship's intercom “Alright Red you and the two others better be buckled up because we're about to launch.” “Roger that Huxley we’re strapped in,” Red said. “Good now let's fly,” I said as we began to hover before we flew into the sky. Mere moments later we were flying above the required flight recommendation and Jat made this known “Were a little too high might want to take us down a bit.” She said. “NO can do we’re about to break free,” I said as we exited the world. “Whoa.” Jet said looking outside. “Were-” “In space.” I finished before turning on the intercom “Red you want to come here and see the view?” I asked. A few moments later Red and his two apprentices came up and were blown away by the view. After a few minutes of looking I gave Jet the chair and I sat in the captain's chair while Red and the apprentices went back to the engine room. “Jet stream activate the warp to Traverse Town.” I ordered “Huh?” she asked as Geppetto got up to point at a button. “You want to press this button and the move this to the destination on the map then press the button again,” Geppetto said before going back to his seat. “Alright then,” she said doing as he told her before the ship jumped from orbiting Equestria to orbiting Traverse Town. “Alright, Jjet take it in for a landing,” I said as she nodded and took us in for a landing. As we landed I ordered that Jet Flash, Moondancer, and Red Green stay on the ship while taking the two apprentices to get Geppetto’s chest to his house. “You two with me,” I ordered as they grabbed the chest and followed me and Geppetto to his house. As we walked we passed Gleaming who looks like she was ready to head out. “Oh Huxley good we can leave,” she said. “Well, we still have to drop off this chest off at Geppetto’s place.” I said as she looked down “But you are free to head to the ship.” I said as she ran off in the direction we came from before we kept on walking. As soon as we got to Geppetto's place Pinocchio jumped at him “Papa.” He said as Geppetto laughed. “How have you been today Pinocchio?” he asked. “Fine Miss Lightning said I was helpful,” Pinocchio said. “Don’t worry there was no heartless today so we just wandered the town and had some ice cream,” she said smiling. “Where do you want your payment?” I asked as the two apprentices looked like they were ready to drop it. “Just leave it here we will sort it out later.” He said as the apprentices dropped the chest. “That must have cost you an arm and a leg.” Lightning said. “Not really I had a world leader pay for it out of her own pocket,” I said. “What?” she said angrily. “Whoa take it easy she knows what she paid for,” I said as Lightning calmed down. “Alright then,” she said walking off. “Thank you for everything Mr. Geppetto,” I said as we took off back to the gummi ship. Back at the ship, we prepared everything before we took off “Alright Jet get us off this world and Moondancer bring up the map to she she were our next destination is Hollow Bastion where we’ll pick up the supplies for the trip.” I said > Kingdom hearts 2 starts (unedited) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As we arrived in Hollow Bastion I let the full crew out to stretch their legs and get some fresh air. I went up to the moogle running the synthesis shop and asked “Hey you want to make some money for next to nothing work?” I asked. “Kupo?” he asked before saying “What kind of job?” “Just getting data off a computer here.” I said. Before releasing “And I don’t mean the defence or Ansem's computer.” I corrected myself. “Alright then show me this computer kupo.” he said as we walked off. When we were out of sight I opened a Dark corridor which the moogle was hesitant to follow into. “Look I understand your concern but it's the only way to where we need to go.” I said. The moogle hestily went though and on the other side was the Gardens of Assemblage and in the middle of the room was the computer. “Kupo?” the moogle asked. “What is this place kupo?” “Heck if i know I just knew it was here.” I answered. “So what are these doors Kupo?” the moogle asked. "Each one leads to a data version of a specific nobody which I need the data of.” I said. “So can you get in this computer?” I asked. “Give me a moment kupo.” the moogle said as he was hacking the computer. “Here you got your data...” the moggle paused as a little data thing came out of the computer “now” the moogle said as I pulled out a bag of munny “Here you go 1500 munny.” I said handing him the bag before handing him a second bag with 750 munny “And this is to not tell anyone”. “Thanks for your business Kupo.” he said as I opened another Dark Corridor back to the main part of Hollow Bastion and we walked through it. As we finished boarding the ship and took off another person landed and ran out with his Duck and Dog friends. “It’s Hollow Bastion!” Sora said. “Gwarsh, looks kinda different now.” Goofy said. “I hope Leon and the gang are doing okay.” Donald said as some heartless disappeared from a nearby rooftop. “Uh-oh. Looks like we’re gonna have to do some fightin’.” Goofy said. As they walked through the marketplace to the top of the stairs where they saw a moogle returning holding a large bag of munny “I wonder what's with him?” Sora asked as Goofy and Donald just shrugged as they ignored the moogle and want down the other path of stairs. As they got to the Borough where they stopped when a claymore popped up. “Hey, what's going on?” Donald asked. “That’s the towns defence mechanism.” A voice said as Sora and the gang looked around before spotting. “Yuffie!” Sora said. “She was about the say something when something popped out of nowhere “Look out” yuffie shouted as Sora and crew quickly defeated the nobodies. When the fight was over Yuffie waved shouting “Hey, you guys!” before jumping down “I see you’re still in top form” she said. Sora bumped his chest before asking “What’d you expect?” before saying “Looks like you’re doing okay.” “Well, what did YOU expect?” Yuffie asked. “How are the others?” Donald asked, “Great!” Yuffie said. “Hey, Yuffie! Have you seen the King and Riku?” sora asked. Yuffie simply said “Nope” before walking off “But I had a feeling I'd see you guys again.” she said. Sora jumped a bit and put his hand in front of his face saying "We may never meet again, but we'll never forget each other." mimicking Leon. Yuffie laughed asking “Is that supposed to be Leon?” As Donald and goofy laughed Yuffie said “Everybody's working on stuff over at Merlin's house. C'mon!” she said as she ran around a corner into Merlin's house. Inside Merlins place Yuffie said “Meet the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee!” Aerith was the first to speak “We missed you” she said. “Well, if you ain't in top shape.” Cid said. Leon just stood there and said “I knew it” Sora was confused and asked “Knew what? “A while back this guy asked about you and we didn’t remember a thing, said you were the one that helped retake our world and that we’d remember in time, then a while later we all remembered at the same time.” Leon said. “You...remembered? Wait! That means you forgot about us!?” Sora said. “Thanks!” Donald said annoyed. “So where've you guys been all this time?” Yuffie asked. “We were sleepin’” Goofy answered. “Where? In cold storage?” Cid asked as Sora, Donald and Goofy looked nervus. “It doesn't matter. This is great. Everyone's together again!” Aerith said. “So, um...we're trying to find Riku and the King. Have you seen 'em?” Sora asked. Leon, Cid and Aerith shook their heads before Leon had a thought “Maybe Huxley knows where they are?” he said. “Who’s Huxley?” Sora asked. Leon responded with “Wait you don’t know Huxley? “No, why would we know him?” Sora asked. “From the way he talked it sounded like the two of you knew each other.”Leon said. “Anyway let us know if there's anything we can do to help. Okay?” Aerith said. “Okay. Thanks.” Sora said as Cid got close. “Don’t go thanking us just yet” Cid said. “Hollow Bastion's got a problem. A big problem.” Leon said. “You mean, like Nobodies? And Heartless?” Sora asked. “That’s right” Yuffie said. “Sounds like you could use our help.” Sora said. “Then let's cut to the chase. Sora, Donald, Goofy. We were hoping the three of you might give us a hand around here.” Leon said before saying “We were also hoping to ask Huxley for help before he left.” Sora pounded his chest saying “Like we’re gonna say, no?” as Leon smirked “...I forgot who I'm dealing with.” He said. “Hey...what do you mean by that?” Donald asked. Aerith then said “Just think of it as a sort of ‘Leon compliment.’” Leon then opened the door “Follow me to the bailey” He paused before saying “there's something you need to see.” As he left Merlin appeared “Oh! I thought it was you. Right on time!” He said. “It’s Merlin” Donald said. “Sora and the gang said they're gonna help out!” Yuffie said. “Splendid! We'll count on you!” Merlin said. Sora, Donald and Goofy all said “Right.” Merlin then remembered something “Ah, yes. Did you give them the cards, dear?” Merlin asked. “Oh” Aerith said as she suddenly remembered the cards as she pulled out three cards “Here...they're presents for you. Leon thought you might like to have them.” Sora and co took the cards and looked at them before flipping them and reading them “Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee Honorary Member!” “Membership cards!” Donald said. “Kinda Cool, huh?” Goofy said as Sora and Donald noded. “Hey, thanks, Leahhh...huh?” he said turning to thank Leon who was no longer there. “Oh no! We're supposed to be at the bailey!” Sora realised as he tried to run out before being stopped by Merlin. “Just a moment, Sora. What about your magic?” Merlin asked. Sora paused for a minute before saying “Huh? Oh, that's right...” as he crossed his arms. “Maybe you forgot it while you were asleep!” Yuffie suggested. “Now, what am I to do with you? I suppose I'll have to lend you a few spells. But be careful with them!” Merlin said. “Thanks, Merlin!” Sora said. “To the bailey, and fast!” Donald said as they all left out the door. As Sora, Donald and Goofy left Leon returned to the HQ of the Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee. “Where’s Sora?” Cid asked. “He had something to do.” Leon responded. “Well you might want to see this.” Cid said “What is it?” “I was going through some security footage and came across this.” Cid said as footage of Huxley opening a Dark Corridor and walking through it with a moogle. “He comes out here a short while later” Cid said changing the view of the bailey where Huxley came out of another dark corridor with the moogle whom was now holding a bag of munny. “We don’t know where he went or what happened between that time.” “I’ll go pay that moogle a visit to see what happened between.” Leon said. “Be careful the last thing we need is the moogle association to stop selling to us.” Cid said. “I’ll be careful.” Leon said as he left Merlin’s house. As Leon went to see the Moogle Cid kept digging through the footage to see if he could get any more clues about Huxley. In the marketplace Leon walked up to the Moogle and asked “What were you doing with Huxley?” Leon asked. “Sorry I was paid not to talk.” The moogle said before saying “Though I could be paid more to tell you.” As leon rolled his eyes and digged through his pockets. “How much did he pay you not to talk?” Leon asked. “750 munny.” The moogle said as Leon pulled out a bag of 800 munny. “Alright he didn’t talk much but he said he wanted me to hack a computer to get data of some nobodies.” the Moogle said as he added Leon’s munny to his bag. “That's it?” Leon asked. “Yep he didn’t tell me much. The only other thing is wherever he got the data its still in Hollow Bastion.” The Moogle said as Leon left to head back to Merlin’s back. Back at Merlin’s place Aerith was giving Cid a drink when Leon came back in. “Well what did you find?” Cid asked. “Well he went to a place where the camaras can’t see and I doubt it's Maleficent's Castle.” Leon said. “Why do ya say that?” Cid asked. “Well there is the fact that unless She had a computer with data on the nobodies it's probably in Ansems castle.” Leon said. “Alright but the question is how did he know where this computer is?” Cid asked. “We’ll learn when he comes back.” Leon said before asking “did you learn anything on your end?” “Only that he’s ether transporting people or his ship has a crew which is a bad idea.” Cid said. “Why is it a bad idea?”Leon asked. “Well normally Gummi ships are meant to be manned by three to five people maximum and Huxley here has seven...granted we don’t know there rolls so it's to early to judge.” > Xion > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As we were in flight, I headed to the training room, well, I call it a training room, it was more an exercise room, but it had a computer in it. As I plugged the data into the computer, a door similar to the ones in Hollow Bastion appeared with a keyblade. “Weird. I didn’t choose one yet and Roxas’ door has two on them,” I said as I entered. Once I was inside I saw I was on the clock tower in Twilight Town. “Whoa!” I said as I grabbed the wall. “Don’t like heights?” a familiar voice said. As I looked away from the wall I saw a girl sitting on the edge of the tower eating ice cream “Xion?” I asked. “Your the only person who remembers me.” she said before asking “Why? We’ve never met.” “Are you really ready for the answer?” I asked. “I already know the answer.” she said taking a bite out her ice cream.”I’m just a game character.” she said. “Wait how do you know that?” I asked. “I’ve been hanging around in your head for the past week,” she said as she was about to say something else. “Wait, a week? Then that means Sora’s awake.” I said. “Rude,” she said. “Also, right. You probably just missed him.” She said. “Well, at least I know when I am, so Hakuna Matata,” I said as Xion giggled. “What a wonderful phrase,” She said. “Hakuna matata. Ain't no passing craze!” I sang. “Why are you singing?” Xion asked. “I thought we were going to start singing the song,” I said. “What song?” Xion asked. “Nevermind,” I said. “Anyway, want to have a seat?”  She said offering me some ice cream. I walked to where she was and took a seat on the clock tower. “Well I might as well move to be closer to you,” She said, getting up and moving to the area behind the edge of the tower. “Better?” she asked “Yeah thanks,” I said as she handed me some ice cream. “So... what now? I mean, how are you here?” “I can only exist if somebody remembers me-” She started as I cut her off. “Wait you're not going to erase my memories of one my favorite games?” I asked. “Would you stop cutting me off?” she said. “Sorry.” “Anyway as I was saying I can only exist if someone remembers me so I have a deal for you,” she said as I kept quiet waiting to see if she was done, “I’m done you can speak now.” “Alright, what's this offer?” I asked. “You’re going to fight the data organization. I can help you with that,” she said. “What, you're going to give me your keyblade?” I asked as she shook her head. “No, I gave that to Roxas,” she answered, “What I can give you is the power to copy powers from each of the data members.” “Okay… then, what happens to you?” I asked. “I stay in your mind, either in the back or in the front, depending on the situation,” she said as the world started to disappear. I was back in the training room. I looked at where the door was and asked myself, “was that real?” ‘Yes it was’ the voice of Xion said as I was startled by it. “Whoa!” I said. “Okay, then which one should I go for?” I asked. ‘Zexion’ Xion said ‘he can create Illusions so we can talk face to face without using the room.’ “Alright then,” I said, choosing Zexion’s data and waiting for the door to appear. First fight I stood on the ruins of Destiny Island as Data Zexion appeared. He opened his book as pages started turning and laughed before his book flashed green. I rushed him smacking him a few times before his book turned green and trapped me in the book world. Inside the book world, I was being assaulted by books while at the same time he would appear, looking like a silhouette as he cast spells at me and smacked me around with pages. It took some doing, and a lot of paper cuts, but I got out of the book world. Immediately after I got out he tried trapping me again, this time I managed to stay out of its way until it stopped. Taking the opportunity I went out fast and hard against Zexion, the simulation taking some damage before it began to retaliate. Three large books appeared, all turning green. “Crap!” I yelped, one catching me as I was in the book world again, Zexion hiding as one of many books floating around, and attacking me. I hit the wrong one, thinking it was him and paid for it by having the other books attack me. Slightly disoriented now, I didn’t bother thinking when I attacked, hitting the wrong book as pages and other fake books went at me, hitting harder than before it felt. The last thing I saw before I blacked out was that Silhouette of Zexion staring at me as I was attacked. Swear it was smiling. I woke up outside the data battles ‘door’. “Damn it…” I grumble. Fifth fight After a rest, I went back into the battle, this time trying my damnedest to avoid that book spell thing but it was following me like a shadow. I managed to avoid it a fair amount, landing hits when I could. Sadly, it was not permanent, I was sucked into the Book World. I had to play this part smart. I looked at all the books, knowing if I don’t pick something to his fast I’ll get his, and if hit the wrong one I’ll bet bombarded. There has to be a way tell the real one apart from the fakes. Taking a quick glance at them all, trying to differentiate them, I swear one of them...no, just my head, they’re all alike. Damn it! It was then that they began to attack me for taking too long. I then saw the one Zexion was hiding in, his Silhouette hiding as the lights of the arena flashed...wait… I looked at the floor, the lights flashing and...one shadow! Only the real book has one! Oh I got you now you SOB. I dodged as much of the next attack as I could before the lights flashed, the real book being revealed as I began attacking it, and was let out. Once out of the Book World, I began hitting him hard. He sucked me back into the Book World, but I was ready, waiting for the lights to flash, and when they did, I charged, attacking the real one relentlessly until I was thrown out, and returned to attack him in the real arena. That was until he used his book to swipe me away, making it grow three times larger and slamming it on me several times before I blacked out. Again, I woke up outside the data battle door. “Damn it…” I grumble. “Again.” Tenth fight Okay, TENTH time’s the charm! After this, I beat this thing I am taking a me day. I entered the battle again, this time not bothering to avoid the Book World anymore now that I’ve got that pain in the ass figured out and near routine. The battle began and I rushed, landing a quick combo then dodging his green spell to drag me into his book world. With that dodged I landed a few more combos before he began backing up, and dragged me into his book world. I found the real book easy, but then it turned green, trapping me inside another book as pages ripped and shredded, and it HURT! With difficulty, I got out, feeling like a truck hitting me would have been WAY less painful. Books began assaulting me, and I dodged quick, blocking what I could and dodging the rest. I managed to get out, and whales on him quickly, not giving him an edge as I attacked him without letting up. Finally, he began backing up, but I ran quick, landing in a few more good Combos before I was sucked into his book world. It was then that he trapped me in another book as it began shredding itself/me, everything going black after that again. I woke up outside the simulation door again. “...I hate this bastard soooo much…” Final fight I was ready, I spent the good amount of a few hours practicing, and with Xion’s help, learned about his moves from her time in the organization, she even thought me something. Something that is gonna come in very handy. Strike Raid. Learning that move is what took me the majority of the day, but, it was worth it. Finally, I entered the simulation, and when Zexion appeared, I started off with a Strike Raid, and once my Keyblade was back with me, I went in with a combo, and he dragged me into his book world. Having been here so often, I made quick work of this, exiting not long after I endured. Back out in the real arena, I landed a combo, then another, and another before he started backing up. I threw a Strike raid and got in close to land another few hits. He started up his pull into the book world but being so close, somehow, I managed to dance around its effect and when it ended, I went in quick, Zexion taking many hits as I went at him without mercy. He dragged me into his book world again and turned me into a book, something I managed to escape, hurting, but escaped, and found the book where he was in fast. I Got out of that book world and once we were across from one another again, I threw several Strike Raids before rushing in and hitting him hard with a combo. He rushed back, fast. “Like hell!” I shouted, throwing one more Strike Raid at him and when it hit, he froze. “Wait, huh?” I said, my Keyblade returning as he unfroze, looking at me then taking the pose he takes when he first spawns in as code and lights surrounded him and he vanished. “I...won...FINALLY!” I blinked, finding myself outside his arena door, it now red rather than blue, and I was...holding something? I looked and in my right hand was a blue crystal shaped kinda like a star. ‘That’s a Lost Illusion, a very rare and strong item for Synthesising the weapons we used back when I was in the Organization.’ Xion explained. “Oh...Cool.” I said as a book appeared in my hands. ‘That's Zexion’s book you can use it as a journal.’ She said. “And the illusions?” I asked. ‘That you need to focus on-’ She was interrupted by the ships speaker. “Captain you're needed on deck.” Jet Flash said. “Well, we better see what's going on,” I said. Inside the cockpit, we were looking at the world we came across a world with a giant T shaped tower and immediately I recognized it as the Titans tower from Teen Titans. “Moondancer and Gleaming get ready we're going down there,” I said. Jet Flash asked, “What if Xulna’s not there we could be wasting our time.” “It's a good thing to check because even if she’s not there, we could get stronger and have more of a chance when we do find her,” I said. > Titans Go (Semi edited) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Somewhere in a hidden lair a battle was raging between Xulna and a man named Slade. As sword met scythe they began to talk “So Slade you have exactly what I want in an enforcer.” Xulna said as she blocked a swipe from Slades sword. “I work for nobody.” He said blocking a swipe from her scythe. “To be fair I am a Nobody.” she said before she dodged another slash and flying into the air. “Tell me, Slade was it? Why settle for this world when we could have them all?” She asked. Slade aimed a gun at her but then thought about what she said and asked “And what's in it for me?” Xulna smiled and asked, “What do you want?” As we got teleported to the world we found ourselves in an alleyway and as we walked out said alleyway a man ran passed us. “Huh?” Moondancer asked as five people stood in front of us. “Who was that?” Gleaming asked as I just shrugged. As we walked away five people ran into the alleyway looked around before coming back to us. “Hey did you see where Dr. Light went?” one of them asked. We shrugged before Gleaming asked, “Was that the man who ran into the alleyway?” “Starfire you and Beast Boy scout the area while we search the-” Robin stopped when we saw Dr.Light running back screaming as Nobodies were chasing him. “HELP ME!” He shouted as he tripped and the Nobodies went for him “Titans Go!” Robin shouted as we ran forward in front of them towards the nobodies as they broke off and wiggled away. Dr.Light quickly got up repeating the words “Thank you.” over and over again as Robin grabbed him. “You're going away Light,” Robin said. “Whoa, what did he do?” Gleaming asked. “He tried to rob a nearby bank.” Robin said. “Calm down ‘Eliza’,” I said as Gleaming gave me a weird look. “Anyway Glad to be of help I’m Huxley and you’ve already heard Eliza.” I said pointing to Gleaming shield, “And this is Megan.” I said pointing to Moondancer who also looked at me funny. “Well it is nice to meet you three.” Starfire said “I am Starfire and these are my friends Cyborg, Beast boy, Raven and Robin.” Starfire pointed to each one of them before the police arrived to take Dr.Light to jail. As The Doctor was taken away Robin asked a very important question “What were those things chasing Dr.Light?” “We might want to talk about this someplace else,” I said. “Very well, Raven teleport us to the tower.” Robin said as shadows enveloped us and we found ourselves in the main room of the Titans Tower. “What was that?” ‘Eliza’ asked. “A teleportation spell,” Raven said bluntly. “No I mean the-” ‘Eliza’ began to say something before I gave her a slight smack on the head. “‘Eliza’ don’t be rude to our hosts.” I said giving her a glare. Robin then stepped in asking “Now what were those things chasing Dr.Light?” I looked at my team before saying “They’re called Nobodies. Those ones specifically were called Dusks.” “What did they want with Dr.Light?” Beast boy asked. “Well there are two groups that control Nobodies, the first is a group called Organization 13 and the other is a woman named Xulna. If it's the Organization that are after Dr.Light they may be trying to create a weapon to mimic this.” I said pulling out my keyblade. “Why would they want to replicate a Giant key?” Beast Boy asked. “Hold on i think I’ve read something about this.” Raven said as she opened a portal to her room and brought out a book “That's a Keyblade right?” She asked as I nodded before she started reading. “It said that they are an ancient weapons of a massive war that shattered the world known as Daybreak.” “The Keyblade war. A battle for something known as Kingdom Hearts.” I told them. “Whoa, all that power for a large key.” Cyborg said. “Yep.” I said proudly before getting a glare from ‘Megan’ “Right, anyway as for Xulna we honestly don’t know what she would want with Dr.Light.” I said. “Well, then Titans let's see if we can’t find these Dusks,” Robin said. Before they started to leave I asked “Hey do you mind if we come with you, We’re sorta looking for Both the organization and Xulna.” Robin looked at his team before saying “Okay.” As I was about to follow then Gleaming grabbed me by the collar and said “We need to talk with him give us a few minutes.” Robin responded “Alright but don’t take too long.” “Don’t worry this should be quick” Gleaming said as the Titans left. “Okay, what's with calling me Eliza and calling Moondancer Megan?” Gleaming asked. “It's something I’ve been thinking since we left the deep jungle you two need names that don’t stick out,” I answered. “Fine but why Eliza and Megan?” Gleaming asked. “Well, what would you have come up with?” I asked as they both tried to come up with something before coming up empty-handed. “So Eliza and Megan it is,” I told them before heading out to meet with the Titans. We paired into groups of two, I was paired with Raven while Gleaming was paired with Cyborg and Moondancer was paired with Starfire. As hours of searching for the Dusks, we came up with nothing. As we were about to head back however we spotted some Dusks heading off in a direction. “I think we have something,” I said as Raven pulled out her communicator. “Guys we may have something,” Raven said to the others on her communicator. “ Alright hold your position and we’ll meet up with you as fast as we can.” Robin said as Raven looked at me jumping off the building to chase after the Dusks. Raven replied “Not an option. Huxley is in pursuit.” as she followed me. ‘You know this is a bad idea right?’ Xion asked. ‘It is?’ I asked her as I chased the Dusks through an alleyway before being stopped by Raven. “You need to stop.” She said teleporting in front of me. “Why?” I asked. “This is one of Slade's old hideouts we have to be careful.” She said As I nodded I leaned on a piece of the wall as it started to move as I quickly got off it and a door opened. “Whoa,” I said taking a step back. “Maybe we should wait for the other,” I said as I turned around to see Raven collapsed and Slade was holding her. “No, go inside my partner want to meet you,” Slade said as I backed up and ran into the Lair. “No need to be so eager,” Slade said as he walked inside. As I ran through the Lair Xion gave me a suggestion to use the Lexicon to cause an illusion. As Slade was walking through the lair he stopped when a voice from behind him “Titans Go!” he turned around to see four of the Titans standing behind him. He snapped his fingers as Three Dusks appeared “Take her to Xulna.” He said throwing Raven at them before pulling out his sword. While he was distracted by the fake Titans I went after the dusks carrying Raven. As I followed them I came across a large room where Xulna was waiting for Slade “You’re unexpected, lapdog.” She said noticing me. “I’m nobodies lapdog.” I responded as I ran towards her before dodging some Dusks. “So you must be high up on the Nobody food chain if all you have are dusks.” I taunted. “Oh I have more than just Dusks, it’s just I don’t want to reveal my whole hand too soon.” She said as she got down from from the catwalk and stood in front of me scythe in hand. As I backed up I felt something behind me “Hello” The voice of Slade said. I quickly looked up the see Slade standing there “Did you really think the fake Titans would keep me distracted for long?” He asked as he grabbed my arm. Before they could do anything a Voice came from behind us “TITANS GO!” Robin ordered. “Do you really think the same trick will work-” he was cut off dodging Robins kick. “Ah, the Titans a little early but you can join your friend Raven.” He said as I summoned my Keyblade and tried to free my hand from his grip. “Let me Go!” I said smacking him over and over with my Keyblade before he smacked me back. “Be quiet you.” He said before a blast from Cyborg’s sonic cannon forcing him to remove his hold on me and focus on the titans. “Xulna, take care of this lapdog. I’ll take the titans.” Slade said. “Hmph! You do not order me but fine I’ll take care of this lapdog.” She said as she got closer and started swinging her scythe at me. I managed to run past her with minimal injuries as I saw Raven being placed into a tube by the Dusks. ‘I have one shot at this.’ I thought to myself as I did a strike raid towards the tube Raven was being placed in. As the keyblade struck the tube, I was rammed by Xulna and pinned to the ground. Before she could speak, a shield was placed around me by Gleaming Shield and Raven began to awaken. “Mmm... my head, what happened?” she asked before falling to her knees out of tube. She quickly roused herself up “Where am I?” she asked herself before looking around and seeing me dodge scythe swipes while Slade fought the Titans. “COULD USE SOME HELP OVER HERE!” I shouted as Xulna got a few good hits in. “Azarath Metrion Zinthos” Raven Chanted as nearby pipes began to bend and break before flying towards Xulna who dodged it but deemed this a lost cause for now. “Slade! We’re leaving” She said as she escaped through a Dark Corridor. Slade, realizing the fight was also lost, went a different way, “Trusting her was a mistake.” He muttered as she couldn’t even bring the titans down what hope had she of conquering all. As he ran he activated all sorts of traps and barriers preventing us from following suit. Back at Titans tower we were celebrating the victory over Slade and Xulna. But as nice the party was we knew we couldn’t stay long “Thanks for your help.” Robin said. “It was no problem we still didn’t figure out why Slade or Xulna was trying to kidnap Dr.Light,” I said. “Eh no big deal we’ll just figure it out on our own either way we wanted to give you three something.” Cyborg said as he handed us communicators. Outside I was doing my best not to freak out as this was amazing. “Thanks but we’re not really from around here.” “Don’t worry. It should work in deep space.” Robin said. “What?” I asked confused and slightly angry at my team. “I told them that Keyblade wielders trave the universe helping those in need.” Raven said as I calmed down a bit. “Alright then thanks,” I said as we were teleported up to our ship. > The Spirit Library > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- As we returned to the ship we took to our quarters and began to rest up. As I made it to my quarters I placed the Titans communicator on the table next to the Lexicon before I went to grab a towel for a shower. “We need to talk.” Xion said. “I’m not in trouble am I?” I asked. “No we just need to think on which Data member to go after next,” she said as I paused as I thought about it. “How about number 2?” I asked as it was the first number to pop into my head. “You mean Xigbar?” Xion said. “Yeah him we’ll tackle him tomorrow. It's been a long day.” I said as I went into my personal bathroom to shower. The next day I was in the training room using the computer to choose Xigbar Data battle gate. Fight 1 As I looked around I saw that I was in the Hall of Empty Melodies where Data Xigbar appeared. He loaded his clips and one even floated a bit out of his hand. He then teleported away, the arena changing to one where it was a square rather than it’s large rectangle and four holes in some parts. He fired at me and I was hit. I realized now that his fast fire rate means he can combo til his clips run out… shit. I ran, avoiding his rapid fire to me best abilities. All I could do was dodge at this rate, this fight going nowhere fast. Finally he stopped to reload and I took my chance, running quickly to try and jump and strike him. I landed two hits before he teleported away and shot me several times in the back. It hurt, and I fell down to the ground, grunting, I turned around. I saw him fire some more at me and my instinct I raised my Keyblade to block. I saw his energy bots hit my blade and recojit right back at him. Each one hit him and he held his stomach in pain while his guns floated and spun next to hime. Well, good to know. I grinned, now having a means to at least stall him for a time. I got back up and now ran away a bit, upon hearing the fire of his weapons I raised my Keyblade and blocked, all of his shits flying right back at him as they bounced off the Keyblade. I ran fast back up to him and landed five hits before he teleported away. He was no longer defying gravity, as he put both his guns together and their tips began to glow. Realizing he was charging a shot, I held my Keyblade up to block, he fired and it bounced off, and against some invisible wall around the arena. Oh shi- Before I finished, he teleported behind me and fired. Everything went dark. I jumped, waking up outside his simulation entrance. Well now, this will be interesting. Fight 5 I am getting way better at this whole blocking and timing thing. My last round against Xigbar I think I got him half way dead. I took a small break to eat and rest for a bit before heading back in. Xigbar’s data repica appeared and like the times before, the battle began. I blocked his attacks, moving closer as he fired again, two rounds of his own munitions hitting him. He was stoned, and I went in, jumping and landing seven hits on him before he teleported away. Knowing his next move, I quickly turned around and spotted him, raising the keyblade and blocking it. He teleported to dodge them, and I quickly turned again to block, this time the bullets reflecting and hitting him. He was stunned again and I landed more hits. The arena changed after he teleported away. I was on one end, he on another, and I knew this from the last two rounds against him. I blocked, blocked, then ran as he was stunned. I stopped about halfway, making sure he didn’t teleport across the other end. His stun wore off as he began firing again. I blocked, turned as he teleported above me and blocked again, he got stunned again and I jumped, attacking him relentlessly. When he teleported away the arena changed back to normal. He began charging up his charged ricochet attack. I blocked it, the large arrow bouncing everywhere as I turned to block when Xigbar teleported some ways from my right side. He fired and I blocked, the shots reflected back at him. This time the arena changed again, though, it was just a square now, Xigbar in the center as he began to glow and fired into his portals, his shots flowing me as I ran. The area was tiny, really freaking tiny. I ran out of room, the arrows all hitting me at once. Things went dark, fast. I woke up outside the simulation again. I sighed. That was new, new means progress. Final Final I took a deep breath. I know I am getting close to beating him, his move where he jumps on top of that nest thing and snipes me is a bitch, but enough reflected arrows, and a reflected charged shot are enough to knock him out of there. I entered and he appeared, this time, I’m the one winning. He started off with a teleport and portal shots, the portal shots are harder to reflect back at him, but I managed what I can and try to dodge the rest. Enough of his shots I block-reflected back at him to stun him and I went in for a combo. I was getting really good at jumping from having to jump to whack his one eyed ass. He teleported away and for a bit it was a rinse and repeat process. Finally it changed and the arena was not narrow, a long hall with him at one end and me at the other. Block, block, stuned, run. That was my pattern for this part. Stop, let him teleport a mini distance, or better yet, closer to me, find, block, block, stunned, attack. Finally I came to the part where I have the most trouble, his portal, mini arena bs thing. I can’t block them all, but I learned to be fast enough that I managed to run around him and they all missed me. Taking a quick advantage I landed some more combos once that glow that made him damage immune wore off. He then jumped to his sniper's nest area, this part I figured. I can’t block til I see the lights of those laser arrows. Wait, block, wait, block… Wait… Block! The final returned shot got him out of them, near me enough to land another set of combos. He changed the arena to look like some kind of square, he was in a center stage accessed behind him, and I was in front of him, blocked by a rather deep drop that I had to run around. Block, stunned, run. He teleported as I got near him, thankfully just appearing behind me. I blocked again and he got stunned now. I landed another combo, and with my final hit, blinked, and found myself outside the simulation. I looked behind me… Red, beaten. Ability got: Teleport, A few days passed since I got the teleport ability from Data Xigbar and I have been trying my best to get use to it. “Captain to bridge we may have a problem.” Jet Flash said. As I made my way to the bridge I met up with Moondancer and Gleaming shield whom were also heading to the bridge. “Whats up Jet?” I asked. “Well, we're coming up on an asteroid field that is seemingly impassable.” She said. “Seemingly?” I asked. “Well with our armor we could make it through and be fine enough for a return trip but we would have to make a stop in either Hollow bastion or Traverse Town to get the ship repaired.” Jet Flash told me. “Then lets see whats beyond this we could be in an undiscovered world or something lost.” I said before turning to Gleaming “Gleaming get on the guns and shoot down and rocks that come at us, Moondancer get on navigations and find us the optimal path.” I ordered as they both got to there stations. As Jet flew carefully through the asteroid field she dodged every asteroid she could and having Gleaming blast some of the ones that she couldn’t. As Jet was flying I saw bits and pieces of gummi ships floating through the field. After a short while I had to look away while Moondancer saw a pattern to the asteroids and plotted the optimal path, and while we sustained minimal damages we would have to return to get repairs after this. “Well captain we’ve made it through the Asteroid field but there are some damages.” Jet said. “Well we’ll head back to Traverse Town after we investigate that world.” I said pointing to a nearby world Jet nodded as I motioned Gleaming and Moondancer to come with me to the teleporter. As we landed we found ourselves in a desert and I was wondering what world we were in. “We should find anything like a village or something.” I said as we begin to walk on the path. After a few hours walk we finally found a oasis town. As we entered and wandered around and finding some people trying to steal a six-legged Bison. As we ran to scare them off as a group came out of talking to each other before noticing us “Umm what are you doing near Appa?” Sokka asked. “Some people were trying to steal him...It is a him right?” I asked. “Yeah... Appa’s a him.” Aang said. Before we could ask something one of there group asked “Oh my that weapon what is it?” I looked to my Kingdom key and said “It's a Keyblade.” “Fascinating I’ve never heard of such a weapon before.” The man said as he inspected my keyblade “I must ask you some questions about this keyblade.” The man said before turning to Aang and asked “Do you mind if they come with us?” “Sure I don’t mind,” Aang said. “Aang have you ever seen a weapon like this before?” Sokka asked as Aang just shook his head. “Great.” the man said as they all proceeded to get on the Bison. “Are you sure that Appa can handle this heat walking through the desert?” Moondancer asked. “Oh, Appa can fly,” Sokka said as Moondancer and Gleaming looked at each other confused. As we were flying through the desert we traded introductions we told them our names...well our cover names and they told us their names, the man who asked about my keyblade was named Professor Zei. As we flue around Toph shouted “There it is!” and we all looked to see nothing. “That's what it will sound like when one of you spots it.” she said waving in front of her eyes. “She’s blind?” Moondancer whispered. “Apparently but she moves so-” Gleaming started as she was interrupted by Toph. “Hey if you're going to whisper about someone don’t do it close to them,” Toph said. “Sorry, its just were surprised your blind when you move without any help,” Moondancer said. “Well that's Earthbending for you, I can see with my feet.” Toph said as they were confused. “My best guess is something similar to echolocation,” I said knowing full well how it worked. “It's actually a Seismic sense.” She corrected before saying “But good guess.” After some more flying Sokka spotted something with his telescope “Down there, what's that?” which woke the Momo who was sleeping on Aang's head as he flew Appa to what Sokka saw. As we got there Sokka was quick to dismiss the building as nothing more than a pillar. “Forget it. It's obviously not what we're looking for.” he said looking at the picture “The building in this drawing is enormous.” he said. “Not so fast, Toph could you use your seismic sense to see if this building has more to it?” I asked. As she did that we saw a fox spirit climb the building holding a scroll in its mouth. “I think that was one of the knowledge seekers.” Professor Zei said before realising “This must be the library. “He’s right there's a whole building underneath the sand and the inside seems to be completely intact,” Toph said. “That fox thingy went through the window.I say we climb up there and give it a look.” Sokka said. As we all climbed the tower we found ourselves in a ornate hall “Oh, it's breathtaking!” Zei said.”The spirit spared no expense in designing this place.” he said as we landed onto a bridge.”My word!” Zei said as he saw an owl mosaic above two pillars The exquisite mosaic handiwork of this tile-rendered avian symbol...” he said before saying “Eh, nice owl.” As we were talking Aang heard a noise and grabbed Zei before we all hid behind a pillar, As both Aang and I looked from behind the Pillar to see a large owl looking at the rope “ I know you're back there.” The Owl said as we all tried to hide and Zei stepped out and greeted the large owl. “Hello, I'm Professor Zei, head of anthropology at Ba Sing Se University.” He said. “You should leave the way you came.” the owl said tilting its head “Unless you want to become a stuffed head of anthropology,” it said. As we came out from behind the pillar Sokka asked “Are you the spirit who brought this library to the physical world?” “Indeed, I am Wan Shi Tong, ‘He Who Knows Ten Thousand Things.’ And you are obviously humans, which, by the way, are no longer permitted in my study.” Wan Shi Tong said. I interrupted him by saying “Except these two are elves.” I pointed to Moondancer and Gleaming Shield. “And I’m a quarter dragon.” Aang and co looked at us as Moondancer and Gleaming brought out there ears. “Well then you three may enjoy the Library on one condition” Wan Shi Tong said. “Knowledge for knowledge right?” I asked. “Yes, that is the trade.” Wan Shi Tong said. “Does verbal knowledge count?” I asked. “It depends on what that knowledge is.” Wan Shi Tong said. “The heartless are creatures created by the darkness in people's hearts,” I said. “I already know this, what else do you have to offer.” Wan Shi Tong said. “But do you know of the nobodies?” I asked as Wan Shi Tong tilted his head and I pulled out the Lexicon to show what i’m talking about. Before I began talking I created an illusion of Sokka. “As you know if someone were to fall to darkness they would become a heartless.” I paused as I shown Sokka turning into a shadow heartless. “Now what happens to the body you may ask well-” I paused as I returned the illusion of Sokka and turned it into a dusk. “This is a dusk the most basic of Nobodies however if say-” I changed to illusion from Sokka to Aang “-a strong heart of either light or darkness were to become a nobody then they would keep their body and become what is known as an Organisation nobody.” I explained. “Very well and what do you two have to offer?” Wan SHi Tong asked Moondancer and Gleaming. “Well, I have this Equestrian guard book,” Gleaming said “I suppose that is knowledge.” Wan Shi Tong said “And I have this basic equestrian magic,” Moondancer said “Magic, there’s something I haven’t heard of in a long while,” Wan Shi Tong said nostalgically. As we were out of sight of Wan Shi Tong I talked to Moondancer and Gleaming “Okay I didn't want to say this in front of the Owl or the foxes but those three are going to make him sink the library.” I said. “How can you be sure?” Moondancer asked. “Just trust me, anyway Moondancer I want you to find the magic section and when the Library starts to shake grab as much as you can carry and place it in your bag.” I said. “You want us to steal from Wan Shi Tong?” Gleaming asked. “Yes,” I said flatly. “Gleaming you come with me to find information about the keyblade.” “Alright,” she said. We quickly found the section about Keyblades and began taking books off the shelves and read some of them before the library began crumbling around us we quickly packed up the books we were reading into a bag. “Gleaming you head off and find Moondancer.” I said. “And what about you?” She asked. “You guys need to escape i’ll keep Wan Shi Tong from sinking the library.” I said as she ran to find Moondancer. As I ran I found the Professor standing there reading a book. “Professor Zei we have to leave.” “I’m not going anywhere I’ve spent too long to find- Oh look this one is about owls.” He said as he picked up a book and started reading. I didn’t have the time to grab him nor the time to get him to understand that he was going to die here if he didn’t leave so I left him there hoping that I would come back. As I ran I found Wan Shi Tong fighting Katara “Your waterbending won't do you much good here.” Wan Shi Tong started listing styles “I've studied Northern water style, Southern water style, even Foggy Swamp style.” he said. “But have you studied Keyblade style?” I shouted using a strike raid to hit Wan Shi Tong. “Sokka, Katara get out of here I’ll keep him distracted.” I said. “You would attack me?” Wan Shi Tong asked. “To be fair you are sinking the library with us in it.” I said as I dodged his talons. “To prevent my knowledge from being used to destroy others,” he argued. “Look, I’m not going to debate you,” I said. “So you understand my argument.” He said. Before I could answer I got a message from Moondancer “Huxley we’re out” “Well I do but I have to go” I said as I teleported out. Spells gained Blizzard Reflect Thunder Esuna Mine shield Zero Gravity Magnet Aero Stop Cure Fire upgraded to Fira Healing Factor augmented > Knowledge > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It had been two weeks since that ‘ship’ came into the courtyard and everyone in Equestria was talking about it, Some people were wondering where it came from and what was it. I just wondered how that peasant Huxley got his hands on it. “More tea my prince?” The maid asked as I just placed my cup on the table as she filled it. “Leave me.” I said as the maid left the room and I stared out the window thinking. ‘What is that peasant planning?’ as I was drinking my tea that ‘ship’ that the peasant uses came arriving. I quickly finished my tea and went down to the courtyard to see what that peasant was doing. When I got there I saw people unloading some bags full of books and Huxley talking to Auntie. As I followed them I overheard their conversation “So you’ve run out of bits, Huxley.” He rubbed the back of his head and said “Yeah, repairing a ship isn’t cheap.” “I can see that but where did you get the books?” Auntie asked. “That's a semi-long story.” He said before realising I was here. “Plue this is something to speak in private.” He said pointing at me with his thumb. Auntie turned around and saw me “I would like to speak with you in private Auntie.” I said. She turned to Huxley before saying “We’ll talk later Huxley.” As he nodded his head and left. We headed to the library where we talked. “So Blueblood what did you want?” Auntie asked politely. “I want to know what's going on between you and him.” I asked her. “Who Huxley?” she asked “He works for me,” she said. “Yes I see that, but what if he’s just using you?” I said. “He’s not using me Blueblood.” She said. “How can you be sure he could be using to fly to Saddle Arabia and doing who knows what with your bits,” I argued. “He’s not doing that, I have eyes on that ship,” Auntie said. “And what if they're in on it?” I asked. “Their not.” She said, “Blueblood I can see your concerned for me but everything is alright.” “But-” I began as Auntie silenced me. “Blueblood that's enough.” she said getting up “I have to go meet with Huxley now.” She said before walking out of the library. As she left I sat there angry muttering “Can’t you see he’s just abusing your kindness for his own gain.” (Huxley PoV) We stood in the throne room waiting for Celestia. “Do you think she’ll be angry at us for spending all the bits?” Moondancer asked. “I’m sure she’ll understand.” I said as Celestia walked in “Speak of the princess and she will appear.” I joked. “Hello Moondancer, Gleaming,” Celestia said. “Princess.” They answered bowing. “No need to bow.” She said as she sat down on her throne. “Now would you care explaining what happened?” she asked “Well we found an asteroid field and I decided to see what was on the other side turns out it was a world.” I answered. “Right you went through an asteroid field knowing it would damage the ship?” Celestia asked. “In my defense, I was told we would be dealt ‘minimum damage’ I didn’t see it costing us all our bits” I answered, “And before you say anything with the warp system we have on our ship we can return to the world without going through the asteroid field again.” “Let me guess you think there might be more worlds beyond that one.” She said. “Yes,” I answered. “Alright let's talk about the books, what did you want with them?” She asked. “I was hoping you could make copies of them,” I answered. “That can be arranged if I can get to add the copies to my library.” She asked. “Sure but I need copies of the books too,” I said Moondancer and Gleaming looked at me before asking “We have the originals why do you need copies?” “I have my reasons,” I said plainly. “Anyway, that could be doable.” Celestia said before saying “Now on to other business, I’ll skip the explanation and just tell you I need you to find somebody to trade Equestrian goods too out in the worlds.” I was uneasy about this idea but I didn’t have a choice for now. “I might know a place where we could do that.” “Hollow Bastion?” Gleaming asked. “I’ll tell you on the way but Hollow Bastion might be a good place too,” I answered. (Blueblood PoV) A few days passed as Auntie was writing up some trade agreements thought for where I did not know. I tried to ask her about it but I wasn't able to get to her due to her guards saying that she wasn’t taking any visitors. I was getting fed up waiting for her and I had heard that the scribes were transcribing new books, so i decided to check out what those were books were. As I went in and grabbed one of the finished books I was told to bring it back when I was finished. When I got to my room so I could read in peace and quiet I looked at the title of the book The Nature of Darkness The Heartless by The Master of Masters Several hours after reading I couldn’t understand what I was reading “What does it mean?” I asked myself, All I knew was Huxley was hiding something and If I couldn’t convince Auntie about it I would have to take matters into my own hands. I grabbed a nearby notebook I had and quickly checking if I had written anything in it or if had enough pages to hold all the information before I begin the incantation to copy the words into the book. A few days passed as I kept heading to the Scribes and taking a book while returning the ones I already read and copied. As I kept coming and going Auntie took notice and came to me and asked. “Blueblood I wanted to talk to you about the books you’ve borrowed, while i’m happy you’ve taken an interest in the books Huxley brought, I’m going to have to ask that you stop taking the books till there all finished with transcribing them.” This was a minor set back but I had all the information I needed from these books “Alright, just let me finish this one last book then I’ll return it.” I said to which Auntie nodded and left. A week passed as I left Canterlot for Trottingham, my family had an old estate on the far end of town which would be perfect as a place to test what I’ve read. As I got off the train I was greeted by a coach driver whom after grabbing my bags took me to the estate. When I got there I was greeted by the head of staff “Ah, Prince Blueblood It Is an honor to have you staying at this estate.” “Thank you, I’ll be using this place as a secluded area to study,” I said. “That sounds wonderful Prince-” The head of staff said before I cut him off. “It also means I’ll be closing off a wing of the estate for personal reasons,” I said. “Of course.” The head of staff said. (Huxley PoV) It had been a week since Blueblood said he was going to study in Trottingham and we were just about ready to head to Disney Castle and Hollow Bastion. “Are you ready Huxley?” Moondancer asked. “Yeah,” I said having a bad feeling about this. Celestia handed me and Gleaming a briefcase each “Here are the are the trade deals I want to, be careful with them that was almost two weeks of work.” She said. “We’ll be careful Princess,” Gleaming said as we all got on the Gummi ship. > Sora > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A few hours after we left Equestria we were in the air space for Hollow Bastion and as we flew through space Jet Flash asked “So where exactly are we heading?” I looked at the star-map we should be on the right track to heading to Disney Castle “Just follow this path it should lead us to the world we’re looking for.” I said. After another hour of searching we came across it Disney Castle “Is this the world?” Jet Flash asked. “Yes, now Moondancer turn on communications.” I said as she did just that. “Communications are on Huxley.” she said “Good,Disney Castle this is the Excaliburn requesting permission to land” I said as we got no response. “Disney Castle this is the Excaliburn do you copy?” Again we got no response. “Should we just head off to Hollow Bastion?” Gleaming asked. “No something is wrong let's go in for a closer look.” I said. “We can’t just barge in on a castle uninvited.” Moondancer said. “We’re doing it anyway.” I said as I pushed Jet flash away from the controls and flew us towards Disney castle. As we landed we took a quick look around the hanger before thinking ‘Somethings wrong...’ before realizing what was happening and saying “Crap.” Moondancer and Gleaming both asked “What?” “I think I know what's going on.” I said as I rushed up the stairs. “Huxley what's going on?” Moondancer asked as they followed me up the stairs where we were surrounded by heartless. “Heartless?”  Moondancer and Gleaming asked as we summoned our weapons. Several shadows burst from the ground swarming the area as they raced towards the three warriors from another world. I rushed out first knocking a line of shadows away while the rest fanned out to surround the group. Gleaming slammed her sword against her shield calling several shadows to her side before knocking a few away with her shield. Before she could slice off the shadows a spinning Soldier heartless flew out of the swarm. The impact slid her back nearly into Moondancer. Moondancer pushed Gleaming back to her feet as she raised her staff and fired off thunder spells to keep the pressure off of each other. Before she could fire off another body of magic several acorn looking heartless fell from the darkness. Her eyes widened as all of them stood up and lit their fuse on fire. We kept rushing past the heartless keeping out of their way. The constant explosions and pirouettes from the soldier heartless forced us further into the castle while the darkness multiplied and grew. I threw his keyblade out sending raid strikes out to break through the paths allowing the three to get as far as possible. Moondancer was forced to casting blizzard spells just to keep the Minute bombs from getting too close to explode. Gleaming charged ahead using her shield as a battering while the others followed behind her striking at the heartless that tried to get in their way. We were forced further into the castle as the heartless started to swarm even harder. As we ran I noticed an extremely large door and shouted “Passed here” as we entered the Library. When we entered we quickly shut the door behind us, A voice then spoke “Oh who are you three.” We turned around to see Queen Minnie standing there. As Sora looked around he said “This is your castle... Must be nice to be home, huh?” Sora asked as Donald and Goofy were looking around, “Well?” Sora asked. “Ya know, something don’t quite feel right...” Goofy said. “Yeah.” Donald said agreeing with Goofy, “Hey, is that another Gummi Ship?” Sora asked. “Hmm?” Donald and Goofy asked looking at the mysterious gummi ship “Do you think that's the Kings?” Sora asked as Donald and Goofy shook their heads. Before Sora could ask more questions Chip and Dale came running in “You’re back” Chip said. “Move it! Let's go!” Dale said. “Queen Minnie needs to see you!” Chip said. “The castle’s in danger! Hurry! To the Library!” Dale said as Sora and co ran towards the library. As they fought the heartless in the garden they made their way to the Library where they saw “A keyblade?” Sora, Donald, and Goofy said. “Hello, Sora right?” I asked as Moondancer and Gleaming looked at me confused before staring at Sora. “That's Sora, I was expecting something a little more...” “Something other than this goofball?” I asked before turning to Sora “No offense.” I said. “None taken?” He said confused before asking “And you are?” “Oh thats Moondancer, Gleaming shield and I’m Huxley” I said. ‘Don’t mention me.’ Xion said as I semi-ignored her. “You’re Huxley?” Sora asked. “Yep, the one guy who remembered you three.” I joked before saying “Anyway the castle’s in trouble so we shouldn’t be sitting here talking.” “Your Majesty, what are Heartless doing in your castle?” Donald asked “So those are the heartless.” Queen Minnie said before saying “I forgot to warn everyone else in the castle about the danger! We must be sure they're hidden somewhere safe!” “Moondancer, Gleaming you two go with Donald and Goofy to check the castle, Gleaming you go with Donald and Moondancer you go with Goofy.” I said “Umm which one’s which?” Moondancer asked. “Donalds the mage and Goofy is the knight.” I said. “And why are you giving orders?” Donald asked. “I’m just telling my team who to go with while I help Sora.” I said “It’s not a bad plan.” Queen Minnie said. “And what will we be doing your highness?” “We have to get to the Audience chamber.” “You mean the room behind the impossibly large doors?” I asked. “To put it simply yes.” Queen Minnie said. As we got to the Audience chamber Queen Minnie opened the door and to her surprise, there were more Heartless in there. “Not here, too” “We got them.” Me and Sora said as we fought to guard the Queen. After a good fight, we Sora got Queen Minnie to the throne while I kept the attention of the heartless but I was overwhelmed quickly, as Sora run to help me Minnie inspected the throne and found a button. “Here we go.” She said as the throne began to move. “Whoa!” we said as a bright light overwhelmed the Heartless. “The room below is called the 'Hall of the Cornerstone.' Our castle has always been safe from worlds that are evil...thanks to the Cornerstone of Light which we keep down there.” Minnie explained. “The cornerstone... of light?” Sora asked. “Which for some reason doesn’t keep away unversed.” I said. “What’s are Unversed?” “I’ll explain later.” I said as we went down the stairs to the chamber. “This is the castle's cherished Cornerstone. But look. The thorns... They must be the work of someone very evil. I wonder what this could mean...” Minnie said as a burst of green flames appears before her as an image of Maleficent appears. “Maleficent!” Donald said as I realized that Everyone was here. “No way!” Sora said in disbelief “Well, well, well. What have we here...?” Maleficent asked as she looked at us “If it isn't the wretched Keyblade holder, and his pitiful lackeys!” she said before noticing me “And what's this another Keyblade holder, and with the seeds of darkness in his heart.” she said. “What!? Now you're gonna deal with me!” he said leaping to attack Maleficent but passing through her. “All in good time. I promise you'll be able to partake of my vengeance. But you must be patient.” Maleficent said. Minnie then stepped up and asked, “Just what are you doing here, Maleficent!?” Maleficent was about to speak when I interrupted her “Judging by the castle appearance she’s probably trying to take it over.” “Yes, you are correct.” Maleficent said simply. “You'd better stop right now if you know what's good for you!” Queen Minnie said. Maleficent pretended to be frightened as she said “Ooh, how frightening. Very well. I'll stop... Just as soon as the castle belongs to me!” She then disappeared cackling evilly. “What a Hag” Sora said. “I was thinking worse to be honest.” I replied. “Nothing like this has ever happened before. I looked through all the records in the library, but I couldn't find a single clue.” Minnie said. “Not even when the Unversed invaded 11 years ago?” I asked as Donald and Goofy looked at me funny. “How did you know about them Unversed?” Goofy asked. “I know things.” I said dodging the question. “What are the Unversed?” Sora asked. “Ask Yen Sid...who probably doesn't know the full answer himself now that I think about it.” I said as Donald and Goofy looked a little offended. “Anyway know anyone with a talent for magic?” Moondancer and Gleaming looked at each other thinking before Sora said “Merlin the Wizard!” “Yes! That's perfect! Merlin just might know something about this mess. Let's ask his advice!” Minnie said. “We saw him in Hollow Bastion, right?” Goofy said. “Yeah, let's go.” Sora said. “Yeah, you three go we’ll keep the queen safe.” I said. A short while later Merlin magically teleported Sora Donald and Goofy back to the castle. “There's Heartless in every part of the castle! The Queen is in danger! What!?” Donald said before he realized they were back at the castle. “Perhaps, I'd better just see for myself.” Merlin said. “Hello, Merlin.” I said “Ah Huxley, I should probably tell you that Leon wants to see you.” Merlin said before inspecting ”Mm-hmm...interesting...” Merlin said Minnie then asked “What's happening, Merlin?” “This is not good. In fact, I'm afraid, it's quite serious.” Merlin said as he cleared his throat and waved his hands as a door appeared. “What's that?” Sora asked. “My boy, that is a gateway to a special world. Someone in that world is responsible for what's going on in this castle. Of that, I'm certain.” Merlin said. “Oh boy!” Donald said. “We knew we could count on you Merlin” Goofy said. “Then we should go then.” Sora said as he walked to the door and placed his hand on the handle. Merlin stopped him saying “Wait a moment! The perpetrators must be stopped, of course. But there's something else to do first. Somewhere in that world, there should be another door that's identical to this one. I believe our enemies are utilizing that door. As long as it remains open, the castle will be in grave danger. Listen carefully, Sora. You must find that door. And when you do” Merlin paused “lock it with your Keyblade.” he finished. “So it's a door to the past.” I asked knowing full well the answer. “Well yes, It's a special world so when you get there you might get the temptation to do something dark Sora.” Merlin said. “So don’t alter history.” I said looking at Donald. “What are you staring at me for?” Donald asked before Sora opened the door. As Sora and Co returned and the thorns disappeared Sora’s keyblade and the Cornerstone of light glowed. Sora told Daisy “Daisy, we need Donald for just a little longer.” “How much longer?” She asked. Sora was unable to answer the question before Donald said “I’ll be back soon, Daisy.” “Sora, Before you go I have two pieces of info to give you.” I said. “Which are?” He asked. “The first Is Riku is fine he just doesn’t want to see you right now and the second is that when you became a heartless in Hollow Bastion, don’t ask me how I know this, You created an Organization Nobody named Roxas, that's why some of the Organization are acting like they know you.” I said. “How-” Sora started. “I’m keeping the info on how to myself for now just know I know alot about stuff related to you.” I said. “Alright,” Sora said confused before he and his friends left. “Now,” Moondancer began “Queen Minnie we came here for a reason.” “Oh, which is?” Queen Minnie asked. Me and Gleaming got behind Moondancer as she said “Queen Minne we represent Princess Celestia of Equestria.” > Trade Talk > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- After explaining what we were here for to Minnie we got the Briefcase off the Gummi ship and brought it to the Library. “This might take a while guys why don’t you two go to Hollow Bastion and see what Leon wanted with Huxley” Moondancer said as she opened the door and saw Minnie going through the documents. “Alright we’ll come back for you in a few hours the earliest and tomorrow the latest hopefully.” I told her before heading to the Excaliburn. “Are you sure it's a good idea to leave Moondancer here?” Gleaming asked. “Is there a problem?” I asked. “No, I’m just worried.” She said. “Then you can stay here, I’ll handle Hollow Bastion,” I said. “Are you sure?” She asked. “It's your call, to be honest, I can handle myself,” I said. “Thanks, I’ll keep an eye on here, don’t forget to come back.” She said before she ran off to be with Moondancer. As I got off the Gummi ship in Hollow Bastion I headed straight to Merlin's place. As I got to the door I was about to knock before Leon opened the door. “Hello, Huxley.” Leon said. “Hi.” I said cautiously before saying “May I come inside I hear you wanted to talk to me.” He then moved and let me in and as I got in Cid asked “What's with the briefcase son?” “Oh I’m supposed to give this to Leon, it's supposed to be trade negotiations from another world.” I answered as Leon gave me a look. “Could I get an explanation what's going on?” I asked. “Cid show him the footage” Leon said as I saw myself on the screen opening a Dark Corridor and walking through it with the moogle. “So you want to explain yourself.” I sighed and said “This isn’t exactly something you want to bring up in a conversation.” “Why have a gummi ship if you can do that anyway?” Yuffie asked as I noticed she was in the corner. “Because I don’t want to be treated a villain just for wanting to see other worlds.” I answered. “FIne, we’ll leave it for now but if you develop any other dark powers you inform us.” Leon said “If you want to keep coming here that is.” “Alright.” I said. “Now lets see that trade negotiation.” He said as I handed him the briefcase. As a few hours passed as I wandered the available parts of Hollow Bastion waiting for Yuffie to come and bring me back to Leon. “Hey Huxley Leon wants to see you.” Yuffie shouted from the nearby rooftop. ‘Thanks Yuffie.’ I thought mentally as I started to walk back. ‘Hey could be worse he could have assumed you were a spy for the organization, I mean you do have an X in your name.’ Xion said ‘Yeah’ I thought back. ‘Speaking of the Organization I think we should fight Data Demyx next’ Xion said. ‘Why?’ I asked. ‘Why not?’ She replied. Before we could continue the conversation I found myself at Merlins Place and as I opened the door I saw Leon standing there reading the last of the documents. “So there you are.” Leon said before starting to go through the details of the trade agreement. “We need to talk about these clauses…” “Okay, what do we need to talk about?” I asked confused. “Did you read this… it's like it's asking us to buy your people by the bushel. It's like whoever wrote this is asking us to buy slaves or something.” Leon wondered aloud. “...I'll admit I didn’t read it but I know Celestia enough that she wouldn’t be into slavery.” I said as Leon was a little more confused “Look I’m just the messenger but I think I remember Celestia saying something about wanting to discuss the details in person.” “Right… let's meet then. Get her here so she can explain what she means.” Leon commented. “There's a slight problem with that... She sorta bound to the world she lives on via the Sun.” I responded “She also said I have to bring you there after the basics are done.” I told him. “I can leave this place. I run this place and usually keep heartless at bay everyday. Look… get someone who knows what they're talking about and actually reads these papers then we’ll see what can be worked out.” Leon mentioned. “We could always use the mirror she left in the Briefcase to communicate” Merlin said walking in. “The what?” Both me and Leon asked. “You didn’t think the Mirror was a strange addition Leon?” Merlin asked. “Bring it out then.” Leon ordered as he waited for the mirror to be brought out. “Alright, Alright you don’t have to order it a simple please would have been nice.” Merlin said. “Umm care to explain the mirror, Merlin?” I asked. As Merlin brought out the mirror he explained it “Its an old Keyblade master trick, though how this Celestia knows of it is beyond me, Anyway it uses old magic to be able to talk across worlds.” “Oh... okay then” I said still confused. As Merlin set up the Mirror it flashed white and two figures appeared “Hello?” The voice of Queen Minnie said. “Queen Minnie?” I asked. “Hello Huxley.” Celestia said, “As I was explaining to Queen Minnie I had a feeling that the leaders couldn’t come to me and I can’t come to them I decided to use an old trick and use mirrors to communicate.” She explained. “Let's begin then. Huxley… would you like to go handle a few things while the meeting is underway? I need some eyes to scope the city for a bit then leave the report with Yuffie.” Leon asked me. “Alright.” I said knowing this would not end well. A few hours later everything went well there. There were no major Heartless attack, no Organization 13, nothing. Yuffie was actually suspicious when my report was blank. “Really nothing happened?” Yuffie asked. “Yeah, I’m a little surprised too knowing my luck recently.” I said. “Alright but Leon's going to be suspicious something always happens around here.” Yuffie said as I returned to the Excaliburn. As we left to pick up Moondancer and Gleaming shield from Disney Castle we stayed around the world for the night and left for Equestria in the morning, “Huxley the warp drives are acting funny we can’t use them till we fix them.” Red Green said. “Great, I’ll be in the training room,” I said as I went to train in the data chambers. First fight As I stepped into the Data world I was back in Hollow Bastion. Before I could say anything Data Demyx appeared and said “Dance Water Dance” as thirteen water clones were summoned. The damned clones where too fast/wiggly to hit directly, and those I did manage to hit where tanking the damage. I cast Thunder and Minefields, it drained my magic fast but it dealt with them and gave me the opening I needed to land hits on him. I even threw in a Fire spell for a little extra damage. His next phase of water clones were smaller than the first, but they were more spread out. Acting quickly, I managed to deal with two, letting my magic build up enough so I could cast Thunder again, the spell taking the rest out when they gathered around him. I acted faster this time, shotgunning Thunder right as his next wave was coming out. It worked, though it was draining. I dealt three combos on him before he backed up, and a massive wall of water. For the most part, this was all easy to dodge, even his ‘charge’ attack. I got a few more hits in before he summoned more clones. There were so many. As I began casting Thunder three or maybe more of them all at once turned to those music note forms and whipped me. I swore, and before I could retaliate I was hit again by more. The horde of them attacking me. I woke up outside the Data Fight after blacking out. Shit... Fifth fight This guy isn’t hard, I know that, but his clones are the issue. He’s easily dodged, and in small numbers his water clones are easy, but when he calls forth them almost by the hundreds that’s when shit gets hard. Thunder and Fire work best on him and them. I’m getting better at casting them both because of this too. The battle began. I cast thunder quick, dealing with most of them as they came out then fire to take out stranglers. After they were all done I kept bashing Demyx. He got a few hits but I countered, dealing a few more hits to him before casting Lightning right when he began summoning his clones. I was out of mana right on the last wave of them, taking the last of them out and immediately began thrashing him. I wasn’t ready for magic yet but he began using his water in the way that makes walls and weird attacks. I dodged them easy and when the moment came, my mana was full and began attacking him fast. I got a bunch of good hits on him, now for the hard part. He summoned up the massive water clone horde and I spammed Thunder til they were gone. I was drained, but I pushed myself, driving my Keyblade into Demyx’s punk rock looking hairdo as I whacked him upside the head. I then dealt one more physical attack then hit it off with Thunder. He went back to his initial pose, then left in that data warp thing. Finally, I won! As we landed in the castle's courtyard we were greeted by Celestia. “Hello everyone,” she said. “Celestia,” I said nodding while Gleaming and Moondancer bowed before Celestia motioned us to follow. In the Throne room, she explained what would be happening next “Grounded?!?” I asked. “Yes for the next month and a half you three are to remain on Equestria while we find people to send to Hollow Bastion and gather the gems to trade to Disney.” Celestia explained. > Bodyguard > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It has been two weeks since Celestia told us we couldn’t go to other worlds till the Trade talks were complete and the trades were underway, Until then I had nothing to do as while I could always head off to another world with my Dark corridors I could only go to ones I knew and even then I didn’t want to risk the people I knew on those worlds knowing I had dark magic Leon was bad enough the only ones that would probably understand are the Titans but that might be a stretch. Moondancer returned to her studies while Gleaming resumed her guard duties. As I walked down the streets of Canterlot I bumped into a man wearing a brown cloak “Oh sorry.” I said as he bent down to pick something up and then handed it to me. “You dropped this,” he said as I was about to correct him he disappeared into the crowds. I shrugged and wondered what he gave me. I looked at the thing and saw that it was a crumpled up piece of paper, curious I unfolded it and saw that it was a note. Mister Huxley Please come to the address listed on the bottom of the note at the date and time listed below. There is a job for you if you wish to take it. The payment is 3000 bits upfront This seemed like a trap but I also had nothing to do for a month so I would see what's up. The next day I woke up bright and early before I went to the address listed on the note, it was a back alley next to one of Canterlots many mansions. When I approached the meeting point I saw a horse, which surprised me as I didn’t think they existed in this world, and a carriage. As I got closer someone whom I guessing was the man from yesterday spoke up “Who goes there!” he asked before realizing it was me “Oh, Huxley right?” he asked. “Yes, I’m Huxley,” I said feeling a little uneasy about this. “Alright come with me you’ll meet the mistress.” He motioned as an old woman about 50 or 60 years old came out of the side door. “Hello” I greeted before asking “So what's the job?” The man spoke up and explained “You will be escorting Mistress Page to Las Pegasus.” before handing me a large bag of bits “This is your payment.” I wondered what was stopping me from simply leaving but I had a feeling that they had already planned for that and I didn’t want to see that plan. “Alright, anything else I should know?” I asked. “Do not abandon mistress Page.” he said in a very clear tone. “Right understood,” I said before asking “So how long is this trip going to be?” The man looked at me and answered, “A week to get there a few days break in Las Pegasus and another week to get back.” That wasn’t a long trip for me as I’ve crossed Canada multiple times in my life so this would probably be just a long quiet trip. “Well, shall we get on with it then?” “Yes, lets.” Ms. Page said as the man escorted her onto the back of the carriage before I got on to the carriage, the inside was nicely furnished with a cozy interior, and as the door closed the carriage started to move. A few days into our trip as we were stopped at a forest clearing for lunch, we were at least a day or two away from Las Pegasus. As the man whom I never got his name was preparing the food I was wandering around the area to make sure there weren’t any animals that would try to either steal our food or harm Ms. Page, as I’m sure the cab driver would try to kill me for failing to do the job I was hired to do. As I was finishing up my walk I heard a noise from behind me and Before I could react I was stabbed in the back, multiple times and as my vision faded I saw a few bandits who judging by there claw-like hands were the griffons of this world. “Let's go and get the target boys,” the head bandit said as I blacked out. ‘HUXLEY!’ the voice of Xion shouted as I came too I quickly got up and ran towards where the carriage was, only to find the man laying down next to a few dead bandits. “Crap,” I said running up to the man I looked over him mutter “Please don’t be dead, please don’t be dead.” over and over again. “Where were you?” He said weakly. “I got knocked out by the group that I’m assuming attacked you.” I answered before trying to see how hurt he was. “Leave me, go find the mistress.” He said. “Hold on I have something,” I said as I summoned my keyblade and cast Cure on him and he got up.”How are you feeling.” As he dusted himself off I asked “So how do we track the Carriage?”  “I put a tracking spell on it, It was intended for Las Pegasus so we wouldn’t lose it,” he explained. “Alright, so where is it?” I asked as he looked around before pointing in a direction and we ran off. Half an hour of running we found the bandits camp. It seems they’ve also stopped for lunch. I looked at the man whom I still didn’t know his name and asked “Alright what's the plan?” He looked at me confused “You're the bodyguard, you come up with the plan.” I thought for a second before Xion said something ‘We could always try Demyx’s power on them.’ I smiled at the thought and summoned my keyblade turning around and holding it like a guitar before Shouting “DANCE WATER DANCE!” before all the bandits could react Water clones began appearing and attacking them. After a short while, the Bandits were defeated and we made our way to the camp both to find Ms. Page and to get some answers from the leader. “Huxley check the carriage.” The man whom I really need to learn the name off said. As I opened the carriage I found Ms. Page safe but before I could tell the man that she was fine a Bandit tackled me to the ground and started to pummel me, then everything I felt something. I raised my hand to get him off me but something strange happened it wasn’t my hand that attacked him it was a shadow’s claw. He quickly grabbed his face in pain which gave me the opportunity to get another hit in this time knocking him off me. As I got up he started to back away fearful of me “No... stay back.” he said as I kept walking forward. I grabbed him by the collar and asked “Who hired you to kidnap Ms. Page?” “K-kidnap we were hired to save her.” he said fearfully “Bullshit now answer!” I shouted as Ms. Page grabbed my shoulder. “Put him down, they were hired by my husband to take me back home.” She explained. I turned my gaze to the man I was holding and said “You try to come for her again and you won’t survive the fight got it.” As he ran away I turned to Ms. Page and said “I want answers.” She sighed and said “I’ll tell you everything in the carriage” As we rode out from the clearing where the mercenaries took Ms. Page She started to explain everything. “I should probably explain what happened, Why my husband thinks I was kidnapped.” she paused for a second before saying “I’m leaving him. I was nothing but a trophy to him.” She then sighed “If you're wondering why we're heading to Las Pegasus, its because there is a clinic there that does the impossible, reverse aging though it's extremely expensive, which is why I’m doing now with the other miracle of leaving this world I can screw the bastard out of his money and leave before He can find me.” “And what makes you think this will work?” I asked. “The clinic requires a signature and is enforced by Celestia herself so If somebody doesn’t want to pay they’ll have to answer to Celestia herself,” she explained. “And what makes you think that you’ll even be allowed to leave the world I heard that only a select few have been chosen and they are mostly workers.” She smiled a tricky smile “I have a friend who put in a good word for me and Hard Work.” I guess that's the name of the man who’s driving the Carriage. “She put me down as a managing job and him for a job under me.” The rest of the trip was is silence, there were no mercenary attacks or anything till we got to Las Pegasus. It was quite a sight. The flashing neon lights and the tall casino hotels. After an hour of driving through the city, we arrived at our hotel which was close to the clinic were Ms. Page would take her procedure. We quickly dropped our stuff (and by our, I meant their stuff as I didn’t bring anything) in the room, I shared a room with Ms. Page while Hard Work had his own room adjacent to ours. Two hours passed since we arrived in the city and I was bored out of my mind. There was no Television here (not that there was one in Canterlot either) and I didn’t bring any books to read. Hard work took Ms. Page to the Clinic for the age procedure and they said it should only take an hour, hour half at max and I was told to stay in the room till they came back. As I was considering heading out when I heard a knock on the door, I opened it slightly and saw that It was Hard work carrying a girl who looks to be in her twenties. “Is that Ms. Page?” I asked Hard Work. “Yes, keep her here till I return with some clothing.” He said as he placed her on the bed and left. “Well good thing she’s aslee-” I stopped myself as I heard the bed move. “Hey there Huxley.” Ms. Page said in a young voice. “Oh, I didn’t know you were up.” I told her as she motioned me to sit on the bed. I reluctantly did so and asked, “Are you feeling alright?” “Oh, I’m fine, just a little Hot under the collar.” She said as I didn’t like the way she said hot it felt off. “Would you help me cool off?” She asked “How would we do tha-” Before I could finish she hopped on me and kissed me. > The story that never happened > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.
