It has been a few days since I told Aqua and Terra that they would have to wait to save Ventus and they took it well.

”What do you mean we have to wait to save them?” Aqua asked.

“I mean that we don’t know if anyone has taken over the castle and if they have I need to make sure we’re not strolling into hostile territory, for all we know Xehanort could be using it as a base.”I explained.

“Xehanort?” Terra asked.

“Yeah if my guess is right and it's been five years then Xehanort in your body already became a heartless and nobody.”

“Wait repeat that, Xehanort has my body still?” Terra asked.

“Well yeah I gave your Lingering Will your body back, but Xehanort still had your actual body so he may be Ansem and Xemnas.”

“Ansem and Xemnas?”

“His slash your heartless and Nobody?” I explained.

“I understand what a Heartless is, but what's a Nobody?” Terra asked.

“Whats a heartless?” Aqua asked.

“Okay to answer both your questions Take Twilight if she were to succumb to darkness she world become a Heartless and what happens to her body becomes a Nobody.” I explained.

“I still don’t get it.” Aqua said.

“Why am I the example?” Twilight asked as she entered the room.

“Because the mage is always the example.” I explain

She rolled her eyes. “Well, in any case, how’d your mission with Zeke go?”

“Well Aqua has been here for three weeks so I’d say it went well... Oh I found you a book written by you.” I said pulling out the book from Daybreak

Confused, Twilight took the book. “Oh, Zeke’s Twilight.” She said, opening the book. “Basics of Keyblades, magics, and common enemies throughout the worlds. Nice.” She said, patting me on the head. “Thanks.”

“Twilight I’m not a dog you didn’t need to pat me on the head.”

“You act like one sometimes.” She replied as she walked up the stairs.”Water’s boiled by the way.”

“Thanks, this is gonna sting.” I said walking into the kitchen and pouring the water over my head and the sink. “GAH! Hot hot hot!” I said turning back into a man. Terra just laughed at my pain “What's so funny?” I asked.

“The fact you, for as long as I’ve known you, acted so ‘calm and cool’. Seeing you act out differently seems like a nice change.” He replied, calming down. Aqua joined in the laughter.

“And what's funny to you?” I asked aqua

“I have a surprisingly dark sense of humor.” Aqua replied nonchalantly.

“Great.” I said as I learned the the girl who had a crush on my girl form had a dark sense of humor.

“So, what is it you need to do?” Terra asked.

“Well I need to get in contact with somebody who can tell me who if anybody is in Castle Oblivion before we can go plus I need to spend some time with my brother/clone Elzin before we go as we haven't really spent any time with him.”

“Who’s got the info on Castle Oblivion?”

“Lets just say somebody powerful.”

“Well, alright.”

“So what do you wanna do?” Elzin asked, speaking up and putting the book he was reading down.

“Well I’m going to sleep as I had a long day yesterday, I was in Skyrim and got shot by the dovahkiin who is a survivor of earth”

“Odd. Well, alright. Guess I’ll just wait around for your lazy butt.” He said as he twitched a little

“You okay?”

“Yeah fine just a little twitch.” Elzin said, clearly lying.

“Okay, night guys.” I said walking up the stairs to my room. Wonder why Elzin was lying?

---

That was a few days ago now and Elzin has acted up. “GET BACK HERE!” Elzin said.

“What did I do?” I asked.

“YOU STOLE MY LIFE!” Elzin said launching swords at me.

“What!?” I asked confused as I dodged the swords. ”Elzin what’s goin-” I was cut off by more swords raining down. Shit he’s gone off the deep end!

“THAT’S NOT MY NAME!” Elzin shouted.

“Then what is it?”

“ITS ERZA!” Elzin said as I realised that was the name of the lady that Elzin was fused with.

“Aw crap.” I said as I ran into Terra and Aqua. “Terra, Aqua you’ve got to help me, Ezin has been taken over by the woman that he was fused with!” I said as they summoned their Keyblades..

“So in other words, his deal with Core backfired finally.” Terra said.

“Yes and we need to stop her/him before someone gets hurt.”

“You got any ideas?” Aqua asked.

“We knock him out tie him up and bring him to master Yen Sid so we can get inside his heart to stop her.”

“And if something goes wrong?” Terra asked, worry in his voice.

“We hope it doesn’t.” I said worried

We watched as Ezin’s eyes changed color and his Flame Emperor Armor was equipped, and we were blasted through the library wall by magic swords. Damn, Twilight’s gonna make me pay for that too… We quickly got up and Terra and Aqua started firing with their Shotlocks. I summoned Keys to Avalon and Olympia, going for a head on attack while they were distracted. I got close, landing one hit across the chest while the other was blocked by a magic sword.

“Pitiful.” Erza’s voice spoke, replacing Elzin’s. “You two look so much alike, yet even trapped within him, I can tell I’m in the stronger copy.” She/he said, side swiping me as I crashed into a food cart.

Hot, hot popcorn! I got up fast and shook it off. “Yeah, well not anymore!” I retorted, suddenly feeling… strong. I looked and saw my Wayfinder glow a brown. I looked up while Terra was just grinning. Showoff. I charged in again. Erza blocked, but my Terra enhanced strength let me slash through the magic sword and land a hit with Avalon and Olympus, side swiping them into the library… Crap, Twilight’s gonna kill me after this.

Erza crawled out. “Not bad… Try this.” She/he said, as she shot countless magic swords at me like projectiles.

I was panicking to block each. So this is how Sora and Riku felt in that part of the Xemnas battle… I thought as Aqua cast protect on me and Terra used Ars Arcanum, landing rather effective hits on Erza. That managed to stop her attack and I went in for a cross slash. I hit, knocking Ezin in the head.

They were sent flying, and when they turned to look back at us… their face was cracked like clay. “Fragile body…” Erza muttered, sending more magic swords at us.

Shit, like this Elzin might die from hits like that. I thought as I dodged the swords. Think, what to… Oh I AM SO STUPID! I mentally criticized myself, running up to Erza at full force, knocking all their attacks aside and when I got close, I stopped when both of my Keyblades tips were at their neck, and smiled. “Stopza.” I said, as they froze in place. I dropped in relief. “Thank god that works on them…”

“HUXLEY, ELZIN WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY HOUSE!” Twilight screamed

I gulped. Shit… “Uh, well. Long story short, Elzin’s powers come from this person Core fused him with, she managed to gain control of the body, and went on a rampage…” I explained. “I only fought back.” I added, mostly out of fear… damn reject darkness ability of Zeke’s. My emotions did not act like this before.

“Hold on.” Aqua said as she pointed her Keyblade at Elzin/Erza and before I could ask what she shot chains out of her Keyblade trapping Elzin/Erza.

“Well that takes care of that, no way he’s gonna break out of that.” I said opening my book to get a DTL to my Gummiship. “Make sure Elzin stays here while I land my ship.” I said.

I popped into the ship and quickly landed it down near the others. “So what about my house?” Twilight asked as I got out of the ship. “Most of those books were first editions.”

“Blame Elzin/Erza.” I said quickly getting Aqua and Terra into the ship with Elzin and blasting off.

---

It was a fast ride to master Yen Sid’s, mainly cause I went at full speed, and when we landed Terra carried Elzin/Erza up the tower, where we met the old warlock himself. “Terra, Aqua, I had feared the worse when last I saw you.” He said.

“Well no disrespect master Yen sid But she was in the realm of darkness and he was a suit of armor in the keyblade graveyard so the worst did happen.” I said bowing.

“And who are you to come with these two?”

“My name Is Huxley sir I’m the one who got Terra a body and Aqua out of the realm of darkness.”

“I see, noble act of kindness you have done… yet, your heart cries for a different route. Anger is your sin, yes?”

“*sigh* Yes I am prone to anger quickly, but We’re not here her for me were here for ‘me’.” I said pointing to Elzin. “He has been Terranorted-”

“Terranorted what does that mean?” Aqua asked.

“Basicly what Master Xehanort did to terra he stole his body”

I didn’t hear what Yen Sid muttered to himself, but he cleared his throat. “I see, do you know how this happened?”

“Yes he made a deal with a sentient heartless named core for power and got a woman's heart place into his own.”

Yen SId visibly shook, then sighed. “I an familiar with Core, and what he does… his reappearance must mean the X-blade has a wielder.”

“Zeke that's the wielder of the X-blade, but back to Elzin he needs your help-” I was cut off by Elzin speaking with his own voice

“What happened where am I?” Elzin asked

Yen Sid stood up and kneeled down to look at Elzin. “A copy of you? Hmmm… God made you both then... “

“Well he made Elzin I was the original.”

“You existed in his mind once too, you are of his making as well.” Yen Sid sighed. “I had hoped it didn't come to that then.” He looked over Elzin some more. “This is not good. His heart, mind, body, even soul are ‘stitched’ together, unable to separate. Only able to control the body-”

Erza’s voice came out of Elzin “Does this mean I won’t beable to leave this body?”

Yen Sid nodded sadly. “To pull off such an act only a god can do, and none exist in this day of age.”

“Great.” She said as her eyes changed back to Elzin’s.

“Quick question How and what?” I asked Elzin.

“Well funny story...”

---

I was minding my own business when I was pulled into my version of Awakening where I saw a cage that was busted open “Hello?” I asked. As I felt a blow to the back of my head.

“Finally, my turn to walk around.” Erza said.

---

“Just like that?” I asked.

“Yeah, pretty much.” Elzin said.

“Oaky so the Elzin matter is solved for now, but I do have some questions for master Yen sid.”

“Ask away.” Yen Sin said.

“How long where Aqua Terra and Ven been gone?”

“Five years.”

“Okay so your count was correct Terra, my second Question is could you contact King Mickey I would like to talk to him for a plan to get Ven,” I said.

“Actually you came on the right day Mickey should come any second now.”

“I’m here master Yen- Terra, aqua?” Mickey said. Walking with Donald and Goofy behind him.

“Master Aqua, you’ve come back.” Goofy said.

“Hello just the mouse I wanted to talk to.” I said.

“Master who’s this?” Mickey asked

“I’m Huxley and I wanted your help I’m going to free ven from his entrapment In Castle Oblivion and I could use your help as we may be fighting a lot of Heartless possibly or Nobodies”

“Whats a Nobody?” Mickey asked

I turned to Master Yen Sid and asked. “Could you explain it to them last time I tried they got confused.” I said

“Of course.” Yen Sid said as he started to explain. “A Heartless is the lost heart of someone who’s heart was lost in, or consumed by Darkness, given a animalistic and primal form. They lack intelligence and can only function on basic instincts. There are many types of Heartless and the stronger the heart consumed the stronger the Heartless. There are, however, two types, Heartless that are made from the lost hearts of people and other intelligent life forms, and Purebloods, you are personally acquainted with them Aqua if you were in the Realm of Darkness, creatures that reside and are born directly from darkness itself.

No then, what is left over after the heart is gone and swallowed by darkness by a heartless of otherwise is called a Nobody, the body and soul of the person they once were, they carry basic intelligence and the ability to strategize, carrying on after their heart was taken, looking for what they lost. They are not meant to exist, yet they do anyway. They are a fine example of the human will to live on no matter what, but twisted.” Yen Sid finished.

“You forgot the Organization Nobodies master.” I added.

“Ah, yes. There are rare Nobodies that carry high intelligence, look almost no different than their old identities, and carry a vast array of powers. They also long for a heart, the one they lost, but can act and speak as if they still have one, merely acting out the actions from memory. They are dangerous, if you encounter one, it will not be an easy fight.”

“There are as Powerful as Master yen Sid described and I fear they might have taken up residence in Castle Oblivion.” I said.

“Allow me.” Yen Sid said, walking over to the mirror in the back and with a wave of his hand, Castle Oblivion was shown. “Hmmm. There are residents, twelve of the rare Nobodies it seems.”

“Almost the whole Organisation thirteen all we need now is Roxas, but he won't be made for five years”

“Who’s Roxas?” Aqua asked.

“Roxas Is Sora’s Nobody aka the guy who took Ven’s heart in.”

“How do you know this?”

“Because in his reality we are, but a video game.” Yen Sid said.

“Wait what?” Aqua, Mickey, Donald and Goofy asked.

I was even surprised by his answer. “How did you know that?”

Yen Sid smiled. “Well, my son has always had an active imagination.”

My mouth was left open along with Elzin’s as Terra and the rest just looked at me. “Master we didn’t know you had a son?”

“Three.” Yen Sid replied. “God, Huxley and Elzin’s maker, and universe, in a sense, and Core… talk about the bad apple… and lastly was Hollow. He disappeared long ago however.”

“Okay... I’m just going to change the topic, do the three fairies live here or are they still In sleeping beauty's world?” I asked

“They are currently traveling, I don’t know where they are.”

“Damn I was hoping to get a magic change of outfit so people would stop confusing me for a super villain.” I said

“Tragic that cloak’s past, once they were the clothes of grand heros, now they are the symbol of darkness.”

“Anyway we should get going I need to get Elzin back home Twilight doesn’t worry about him” I said.

“Farewell Master Huxley, Master Aqua, Master Terra and Elzin” Yen sid said as Terra stopped.

“Wait, I’m a master?” Elzin and Terra said simultaneously asked.

“Elzin you are not a master, but you Terra are you’ve conquered your darkness five years ago when you fought against Xehanort.”

“Speak clearly next time then.” Elzin said as he left the room.

“So what did you want to see me master.” Mickey asked.

“I’m going to ask that you join them in fighting Core, they have a way into the realm of Darkness and you will need to find the Kingdom Key D, I ask you this Mickey.” Yen Sid said. “Against Core… every fighter counts…”
