A week passed as the nightmares only got worse I barely got any sleep last night due to the nightmares. But I was determined to get to the fight and help Terra and Aqua get there friend back. As I landed close enough to Castle Oblivion to see it but far enough from it to not be seen. As I stretch my arms I saw Terra and Aqua’s gliders fly through the skies and land in front of me along with a gummi ship which I had to guess belonged to Mickey. “H-hey guys.” I said as Terra walked up and hit me on the head. “Ow, what was that for?” I asked

“That was for making Twilight worried that you’d gone and killed yourself.” Terra said.

“What?” I asked confused as suicide did even cross my mind when I left.

“Elzin told us you two get suicidal when depressed and angry.” Aqua deadpanned.

“I don- oh right I honestly forgot about that.” I said before hearing fighting noises “What's that sound?”

“War.” Terra said, summoning his Keyblade. We all headed out and saw… a rather strange sight. An Ebony robed Core with an army of heartless, normal ones and human fused ones, were invading Castle Oblivion while the Organization was trying to fight them off.

“We need to Help the Organization!” I said rushing ahead attacking one of the heartless.

“Hey who are you guys.” Axel said before Xigbar noticed Terra.

“What that's impossible you're both dead!” Xigbar said.

“We got better.” Terra replied with a hint of sarcasm.

“You know them?” Axel asked.

“Long story basically he’s Xemnas’s somebody” Huxley said stopping the fight as both the heartless, Ebony Core and the organization all looked at Huxley “What it's a long story also why did you guys stop attacking”

“We want to hear your bullshit story Huxley.” Ebony Core said.

“Okay... Strike raid” Huxley said hitting a Darkside in the face starting the fight again.

“Figures you would do that coward, not even taking the time to explain yourself.” Ebony said mocking me trying to get my darkness out It wouldn't work.

“Focus on fighting you two.” Lexaeus said

Terra and Aqua summoned their armor, though I noticed Terra stayed within eyesight of Xemnas, and Xemnas did the same. The battle escalated as Ebony Core summoned more and more of those human infused heartless. Aqua was Shotlocking more than I thought possible, though she did seem to be taking out the most with that barrage of bubbles. Oddly enough Axel was watching my back the whole fight, trying not to get too far as the battle kept on. They were summoning Nobodies to help, but Ebony Core seemed to be handeling those himself, hacking them away with ease.

“So if I may be bold why are you helping us anyway?” Saix said in a more calm manner then the games showed this was probably before he grew the stick up his ass.

“Honestly the two other key wielders use to live here and they have some stuff they need to pick up.” I said

“So you were preparing to fight us now were you?” Saix said.

“Well maybe we’re more likely to get in by helping you guys though.” I said as I destroyed another Neoshadow.

“I’d say that’s fair.” Axel said, incinerating a dozen heartless with a snap of his fingers.

“I’ll… consider it.” Xemnas said.

“That's sound great Xehanort” I said sarcastically as He just looked at me

“I thought he was that guy Terra’s somebody?” Axel asked

“Like I said long story” I replied.

Xemnas seemed to be losing his cool, he was starting to fight with more rage, hacking apart whole horde of heartless. Where was that in his final fight in the second game? Demix summoned several water clones that started dealing damage. Larxene was stabbing everything near her at, erll, lightning speed. Man am I glad she’s not aiming for me. I was hacking apart heartless with Key to Avalon and Oblivion, which had somehow returned to normal. Either I was getting stronger of the heartless were getting weaker because they were falling in one his, kinda makes me feel like Roxas at the end of his game… oh god I just admitted Zeke was right about me cosplaying. Luxord was doing much better than expected, his cards taking out groups of heartless at a time.

“Heh, This almost makes me feel like I have a heart again.” Xigbar said blasting a few Heartless away before a large hand reached out from behind grabbing Xemnas and pulling him through a DTD and taking him who knows where as Ebony and his heartless fled having destroyed the castle as well.

“I think we just got unemployed.” Axel says, disbanding his chakrams and laying on the ground. “Time for a nap.”

“How can you not care our boss was just… bossnaped!” Saix says angrily, standing over Axel.

“Like this.” Axel said as he closed his eyes and started snoring.

“What's happening?” I asked as I saw the Organization starting to argue with each other.

“I think Xehanort must have kept them each in check one way or another so… this doesn’t happen.” Aqua said.

“Well I hope this works” I said to myself as I floated up “HEY ORGANIZATION!” I shouted getting there attention “XEMNAS WAS LYING TO YOU WHEN HE SAID HE COULD GIVE YOU ALL HEARTS HE JUST WANTED TO FULFILL AN ANCIENT PROPHECY BY TURNING ALL OF YOU INTO HIM!” I shouted as they all looked at me

“Prove it” Saix said.

“I can if you would follow me to master Yen Sid's place he could explain it.” I said

“I ain't goin.” Larxene said. “I kinda… sorta…. Last time I saw him I electrocuted him and burned half his library…”

“Okay but he knows how to make you somebodies again..well I do too but he should be the one to explain it.”

“No explain it we’d all love to hear how you can give us back our hearts” Xigbar said

“Okay Braig its simple one you simply try to regrow your heart as it's not something that leaves forever or two, you find and kill your own heartless and then die you respawn for lack of a better word at the place you were turned into a heartless...or a place like traverse town if your world is gone.” I said.

“And how do you know this?” Xigbar asked

“Do you really want to know?” I asked

“Yes.” he said pointing a arrow gun at my head.

“Let master Yen sid explain Huxley.” Mickey said.

“Stay out of this rat.” Xigbar said, causing Mickey to frown. “First I get my heart ripped out of me, then I work for the guy who did the deed, now our boss is taken by some blank mask wearing freak with Heartless the likes never seen before, then THOSE two show up,I think it’s about time we all get answers here.”

“Fine but you're not going to believe me.”

“Try me.”

“Okay I know all this because to me this is all part of a video game that I played a few years ago it's how I know that Xehanort wanted to place his heart inside you, It's how I know Axel is able to wield a keyblade if given the opportunity and it's how I know that you were going to be rewarded for your loyalty by becoming on of him.... Like I said you won’t believe me without proof.”

“Huh… that explains this.” Xigbar reached into his coat, pulling out a Birth By Sleep game disc. “Found it before the fighting started, seeing the picture printed on it kinda freaked me out.”

“You got one too?” Larxene asked. “Yen Sid had one like that, a bunch actually.”

“Anyway If you follow me back to my world I know a guy who can get you all Keyblades so you can fight heartless and get your hearts back.” I said as Axel looked at me.

“For real?” Axel asked.

“Well assuming the guy isn’t being an...Aqua what are you doing?” I asked as she was giving a look at Marluxia

“Is he a guy, or is she a she?” Aqua asked, playing with the gender unknown beings hair.

“He’s a guy now stop trying to flirt with him.”

“Sorry, but your not my type.” Marluxia said. “Anyway what's this about getting us Keyblades I wasn’t paying attention.”

“Like I said I know a guy with the X-blade...” Xigbar stopped me

“You mean that sword that Xehanort had that brat make.” He said

“Yes speaking of that ‘brat’ Aqua, Terra go get Ven.”

“Wait he’s here?” Xigbar said.

The nodded, running right into the castle. “I think I know the trick to finding him then.” Zexion said. “Given the castle's power over memories, and the likelihood that this is not what it has always been, only someone who knows the world that it was can enter the right room.”

“Alright then.” I said wondering what to do with the organization I hoped that giving them keyblades would make them do good instead of what they did in the games. “As I was saying I know a guy with the X-blade a all powerful keyblade that also can give others keyblades...but only if you will play nice.” I said as they looked at me.

“What do you mean Play nice?” Xigbar asked

“Simple to put it bluntly you guys aren’t exactly the good guys and Zeke may not listen to me on my recommendation of giving you guys keyblades unless you agree to play nice.” I said.

“I’m with him.” Axel says. “We did kinda just listen to the first guy who offered a purpose, we aren’t exactly supposed to exist so in reality we also have no other options.”

“So were listening to the second guy that offers us a purpose.” Saix says sarcastically.

“Like we can even find one ourselves?” Axel asked as he got up. “We have no hearts, we can’t make a purpose or a life like this, it’s only been a few years and I forgot what half my emotions actually felt like, we’re all growing hollow.”

“Okay there is just one catch...you have to make my world your base.” I said as they looked at me “It's just so I can keep an eye on you guys and help in anyway.” I explained.

“Again, anyone here actually got any other ideas, or explanations to our families as to how we died and are still standing?” Axel’s question was met with silence. “Figured. Alright kid, we’ll follow you, just get us our hearts and we’ll enroll into ‘good guy school’.”

“Great and it's Huxley.” I said as I opened a light corridor to Zeke’s world as Aqua and Terra walked out. “Terra, Aqua, take Ven using my Gummi Ship i’ll meet you there I have to get these guys keyblades.” I said as they all walked through the corridor of light.” i’ll meet you back with Sora.” I said walking through.

We all walked out and into Daybreak, entering the Castle and we were met with guards. “State your business.”

“We’re here to see Zeke tell him Huxley has the Organization minus Roxas, Xion and Xemnas.” i said as one of them left as Saix asked me a question.

“Who’s Roxas and Xion?”

“Well Xion is a replica made out of Sora’s memories and Roxas was going to be your thirteen member and nobody to Sora.”

“This Sora sounds important.” Saix said.

“You done?” The guard asked.

“You gonna let us in now?” I asked

“The council is in a meeting right now. Wait til it’s over in about half an hour.” He said.

“Okay you guys want something to eat?” i asked.

“I could go for some fried fish.” Axel said as I made a ugg sound “What don't like fish?”

“Donuts.” Saix said.

“Sure let's go for Donuts.” I said as we walked to a place called Donut’s Donuts

“Hey guys welcome to Donut’s Donuts Ironically we don’t have donuts.” he joked “I’m only joking we have all kinds of donuts.” He said listing off random donuts

“Yeah what do you guys want?” I asked as the organization mumbled to each other about what donuts they wanted. “Okay well take two chocolate donuts, three jelly filed one of each type, two plain, and five boston cream.” I said pulling out my wallet and giving the man munny.

Half an Hour passed as we finished eating our donuts and basicly asking me what else was from the game would happen. Before I could answer Zeke showed up “Hey Ze...” I stopped when I saw his metal legs, and his hair was blue.

“Huxley… what are you doing here?” The X-blade’s voice spoke.

“Didn’t you get the message?” I asked.

“I was talking to your… acquaintances.”

“Basicly An Ebony Core took Xemnas as I sorta promised if they would be good that i’d convince you to give them Keyblades...” I said as he facepalmed “It was the only way to get them their hearts back other than the way Roxas did for Axel.” I said

“What?”

“Yeah Roxas makes your heart return... I did say that they come back right?”

“Well Zeke usually summons the heartless, but I guess I can give it a shot.”

“Oh right I forgot you can do that...maybe not here though.” I said.

“Fine.” X snapped ‘his’ fingers, opening another DTL that we all walked though and we found ourselves in… an underwater city?! “Zeke flipped his shit when he saw this place.”

“Why are we in atlants?” I asked.

“It’s called Rapture. Whole city built underwater with science unlike anything mankind or humanoid life has ever made.”

“Oh I know about Rapture..so why are we here and not in some room in Daybreak?”

“First off, let me try.” X looked focused, snapping ‘his’ fingers again as twelve heartless appeared. “I think I got that right.”

“Why is there Twelve though, we only have eleven people...Unless Oh noes i lost me heart.” Huxley joking said before a cricket could be heard

“Bad joke, and not a good one to make given the state of your heart. The extra is protection. Not very good things are here if you do know it, from what we could make out Core has been here but didn’t stay, no reason.”

“Yeah Splicers probably helped atlas win the little civil war then left with whatever he came here for.”

While Huxley and X were talking the organization were each drawn to one of the specific eleven other heartless, each summoning their weapons and before they attacked, destroying them with ease and grabbing the heart that floated out. Once they did, they each glowed white before laying asleep on the floor. “Look’s like I got the right ones.”

“Okay before we leave they need Keyblades as I did promise them that...though it was more to hunt down their respective heartless...”

“[color=#e6b91]fAlright, will be a-” X was cut off by a Splicer jumping on his. “Not you assholes again!”

“Great Strike raid” I said throwing my keyblade at the Splicer as a voice came over the intercom.

“You parasites think you can just waltz into my city without a fight!” the voiice said

“Great open A DTL I’ll handle the splicers...asshole Andrew Ryan.” I said

As I was walking over to the Splicer, I heard a gunshot as the Splicer before me fell. I turned around… seeing X holding a pistol. “Don’t worry, when I take over my light keeps the thing that causes Zeke’s killing mood from even breathing, so long as it’s me behind the trigger.”

“Killing mood?” I asked before I realised it wasn't important “Just wake the Organization I’ll handle the DTL” I said pulling out my book.

As X summoned Keyblades, dropping them onto the organization, waking them up, they each grabbed the one that fell on them and ran in, though, I got a tad interested in what X meant when he said ‘killing mood’, and figured when Zeke was in control I should ask him.

As we ran out we were in the Library and surprised Twilight “Huxley you're alive” She said.

“Sorry no time to talk.” i said grabbing the Organization and running leaving X in the dust.

“Rude.” she said as she noticed Zeke with blue hair. “Oh hello Zeke.

“Hey Zeke when did you learn how to go Super sayan blue?” Ezlin asked.

“X, I’m in control at the moment, once I get done with this stuff, which I guess I am now Zeke has some things to do.” X opened another DTL and left.

Meanwhile with Huxley. “Why did you run us out of there?”

“Lets just say the woman is mad at me and I don't trust her right now.” I said as they wondered what happened... anyway the castle is in ruins, but is fixable with a few nobodies.” I said taking them to the old castle.

“Man this place is a dump.” Axel/Lea said

“We aren't Nobodies so we have to do it by hand.” Saix/Isa said.

“Well good luck i have to get Sora.” I said.

At the mysterious tower

“Man its taking Huxley a while to get here with sora you think he’s alright?” Mickie asked.

“He’s probably run into a speed bump in not not-quite-a-plan.” Aqua said.

“GET BACK HERE YOU LITTLE-”the voice of Huxley could be heard as a young boy burst through the door followed by Huxley.

“Help he took me from my family!” sora said as Everybody looked at him

“Wow… bad with kids and a temper?” Aqua said as Sora ran to her. “It’s alright kid, our… friend there just needed your help and is clueless in the concept of asking for it.”

“Yeah I wish I had your help when i had to explain to his parents what I needed him for...spoiler a mysterious man asking for your kid never seems good.”

“You do know this should take only a few minutes.” Yen Sid said as he entered the room.

“Yes I do but i still cannot just take him without the parents knowing...it just didn’t go as planned.”I said

Everyone seemed to roll their eyes at me. “Nevertheless, are you certain this is the boy who is keeping Ventus’s heart safe in his own?”

“Well unless the games are lying then Yes this is the boy.” I said.

“Good.” Yen Sid said as he walked over to Sora. “Now child, we have a favor to ask of you.”

“W-what?” The scared Sora asked.

“This man and woman have a friend who can not wake up without your help. You see, you have something of his that, even though you meant good intent, it’s the missing piece that’s keeping him from waking up.” Yen Sid explained.

“I… I get to go home after, right?”

“Of course child.”

“A-alright then.”

A few minutes passed as Yen Sid did some magic on Sora before Ven woke up “*Yawn* what I miss?” Ven said casually

“Well there is the fact you've been sleeping for five years the fact that Terra lost his body and the fact that Aqua both got lost in the realm of darkness and turned your home which is now destroyed into a different world.” I explained

Ventus stared at Huxley. “I’m… not gonna try and understand that all at once.”

“Okay also we need you to do the passing ritual on this kid...basicly if my plans don’t work like they do he’s going to need to save everyone.” I said as Sora just stared afraid at me.

“Okay.” Ven said pulling out his Keyblade “Sora, was it, thanks for letting me stay in your heart… as odd as that sounds.” He said handing him his Keyblade.

“I probably should take him home to make sure his parents don’t go to the police the last thing I need is to be banned on a world.” I said opening a DTL and as Sora saw it her ran through it. “Hey wait.” I said, almost chasing after him before Yen Sid stopped me.

“Let him be, best you not be there given how picking him up went.” Yen Sid said.

“Fine.” I said as Micky pulled me off to the side.

“I heard you have a way into the realm of darkness I need in under Master Yen Sid’s orders.” He said as I thought My DTD’s probably could get me there and back...but there was still Core to worry about.

“Fine but find an Organization cloak they protect against the darkness.” i whispered as he nodded and left with Goofy and Donald.

“Okay Ven time to show you where you're going to be staying while on my world.” I said as he looked at me.

“Where?” he asked.

Pov ???

Formally, they brought the kid back. I already dealt with the other two, time to wrap up this world. I walked out from behind the tree I stood behind once Huxley left, walking up to the young child. Heh, so much promise and potential, now soon to be pointless.

As I walked up to him I could tell the kid was getting worried, heh, smart. I now stood in front of him. “Uh, you need help or something sir?” The kid asked.

“Yes actually. You… have something I need.”

“This again?”

“Yeah, but here’s the deal.” I kneeled down to him, summoning the Keyblade I forged from Josh’s heart. “Those people… are the good guys.”

“Wait, really?”

“Yeah. Guess what that makes me?”

“Um…” His face suddenly looked afraid. “T-t-the b-bad guy?”

“You win a prize.” I stabbed the keyblade into his chest, his heart coming out as I grabbed it. WIth another slash I disposed of the body. Don’t want any Nobodies wanting revenge bugging me.

I opened a DTD and walking into it. When I exited I was in Lab Zero. Project Echo is coming along well. I thought as I placed the new addition into the storage chamber, where countless hearts all belonging to the same three children are stored. Heh, even with this many it’s still not enough yet.

No, I need to speed this up… maybe even find a use for the bodies. Perhaps I can make use of what would be the Nobodies is I just tinker with them a bit? Maybe. Still, until Zeke enters his Killing Mood this project is just in phase one, after that we can forge it. Heh.

I was walking out when Ava came up to me. “Forty-seven is dead.”

“Really? Now that’s surprising. I’m gonna have to have them… no, can’t waste resources on one time use copies. Besides, these copies give me an idea.”

“That would be?”

“I need these survivors strong, so perhaps some cannon fodder other than Heartless, Unversed, and the yet to be released Nobodies and Dream Eaters. After all, the copies are strong enough and pretty easy to make.”

“True, Even though the Foretellers were badly beat, they managed to kill it. Stepping forward finally is what they needed after all.”

“Yes, finally we can make some progress. The age of general peace and restricted attacks is now over. Time to force them to learn how dark I can make the worlds in the end.”

“I’ll inform the new Yellow, he’s been dying to get some field work.”

New Yellow… you are my ace and trump card. Heh, things are finally getting interesting, though, with that God now running around giving aid, I’ll need to increase efforts into bringing out beings from the void prison. Finally, things will be going my way.
