I was laying in bed. I couldn't get Grapth’s and the archers death out of my head. “Christ…” I muttered, taking the book I was given that Grapth made. “Well...might as well learn who these people are…” I muttered, opening the book to see what was written here.

Time is a fickle thing. We have existed for countless years, in one reality, that is. To start at our beginning, there will be a rather long prologue. Thirteen of them, each one telling the story of who each of us was, and how we have/will all come to die. I will save the best for last.

“Well at least I get to learn about who the others are…” I muttered, liking this little history lesson.

Prologue Chapter 1: Number Thirteen.

Number Thirteen. A Pale. A race of scaled skinned humanoids who live in space colonies. Their home world was destroyed by civil war. Our number is named Kerbachi. Female, and daughter of a farmer. Farming in space you can imagine is hardships.

Kerbachi’s colony ship was named the Jumbo Kaliko. In their native tongue, means ‘Hollowed Dirt’. It was largely for the dead, those living on it either did as she, farm work, or tended the crematoriums and alters. We arrived on that very ship after a victorious battle. We traded, and spent a few days to rest. In that time we had caught Kerbachi’s attention. She had potential, but her colony lacked any real weapons. She lived a peaceful life, but was bound to them by her people’s gender biases and beliefs. So, we obeyed the law.

Her people valued two things. Kiatron, a very flexible ore they utilize for their tools, and food stuffs. So, we traded two tones of Kiatron ore and three years worth of food stuffs, for her. They accepted, logically. After that, we began her training. Nothingness came naturally to her. Her ability with the Thorns progressed swimmingly. When it came time for her to acquire a weapon, she wanted a straight sword, but, we knew she’d require something more. We forged her a Keyblade. Duskblade, she called it, after the Dusk nobody that was it’s blade part. A keyblade whose form is that because of it’s wielder's heart being incomplete.

“Hmm…” I muttered, finding this fascinating. “I suppose that’s where Duskblade came from...and then Reunion…”

As a Keyblade wielder, she was honor bound to fight in the Keyblade war… She was a great fighter, but she was still so inexperienced. To aid her in the war, we gave her Reunion, a Keyblade of reunitment, and completion. Once a single Keyblade is created, copies are made and exist throughout the reflections. So we didn’t find it that strange when she saw others with her Keyblades. She never returned from the war, her body, and Keyblades lost to that Multiversal graveyard. She was the youngest, newest member of our group, and we can never replace her. We returned to twelve. For the time, we all knew, it would not be long for another one of us to fall, in battle, or at our own hands.

“Oh dear…” I muttered worriedly. “That’s not good…”

I put the book down. I could tell where it was going. “Well that didn’t help…” I muttered, wondering what to do right now. ”I mean...I could go to Radiant Garden and get that training done...but…” I sighed out.

I turned over in bed, feeling odd. Eventually I got myself up, and began wondering what Zeke is doing? Just then, Reunion summoned itself into my hand. “What do you need?” I asked, wondering why Reunion just suddenly appeared here. “Want to lead me somewhere?”

Like with Roxas in Kingdom hearts 2, it almost dragged me standing up, pointing itself outward as it opened up a DTL. “Okay okay.” I chuckled while walking into the DTL, wondering where Reunion wanted to take me to.

When I exited I was… this is John’s world… I looked up… Zeke’s absent Silhouette… it pulsated before me almost monotonously. “This what you wanted to do?” I asked Reunion. I didn’t get a response this time… am I even ready for this? I know Joy beat it but…”Well, you never know unless you try…” I muttered, walking up to the Absent Silhouette. “If I’m not strong enough for this...then what’s gonna happen later?” I wondered worriedly as I tried to activate the thing.

There was a flash of bright light, I covered my eyes and when I opened them… I was on Zeke’s Station of awakening. Here, there where… people. Trixie, Zeke, Unum...current/past X-blade wielders.

“Right then…” I said while summoning my Lexicon and buffing myself a bunch. “Now, where is my opponent?” I wondered, feeling Haste, Protect, Shell, Draconic Might, and a dozen other helpful buffs coursed through me as I looked at them all.

None of them moved. Strange… I looked behind me- Eclipse?! What’s he doing here? They weren't waving at all. What the hell? I looked at Trixie’s...wonder what she does?

“Gee, so many…” I muttered. “Do I just pick one?” I asked, not entirely sure what to do here considering I’m expecting one of these fuckers to sneak up on me or all of them to start moving and jump me.

Shrugging, I touched Trixie’s...illusion, as my hand fell through her, and there was another flash of light. I blinked, standing on...her station of awakening. It was Trixie, her image on the glass looking battle ground of her and Zeke back to back in an almost Yin Yang motion, each gripping onto the X-blade at one of it’s Kingdom Key handles.

“Fancy.” I said, still feeling the buffs going as I prepared Reunion and Frozen Pride. “Alright...let’s see if this is what I think it is.” I said, thinking this will be like the Data Org in KH2.

There was a flash of fire some feet before me, a small pile of ashes formed as the X-blade did also build up from the fires, the fire itself burning both the ash pile and the X-blade.

“Oka~y?” I asked, confused on what just happened. “But...maybe…?” I wondered, stepping forward and walking near the bonfire, wondering if it was like the Bonefire from Dark Souls.

I raised my hand over it, and that gold glow surrounded me. Looking on the other side of it, I saw...Trixie...hollowed… She looked up to me, her eyes black and lifeless. She stood, taking the X-blade as the fire began to burn her! She screamed, ripping it from the ash pile as her form returned to normal, and the X-blade on fire as her body no longer looked Hollow, and her clothes changed to a smaller version of Lord Gwyn’s from Dark souls, crown and all, only with boots that went up to her knees.

“Alright then.” I said while backing away from Trixie a little bit with my shield raised. “This isn’t going to be pleasant I can just tell…”

She took the first swing, her flaming X-blade leaving a trail of fire with each swing. The fire made Frozen Pride almost useless, the fire being the only thing not blocked with each hit.

“Alright then, might as well be on the offensive.” I muttered, matching one of her swings with a parry.

While her swing was parried, her free hand I saw held a cloth looking thing. From it though, sparked a bolt of lighting she nearly jabbed me with. A counter parry after being parried? She just broke the logic of Dark Souls.

I growled and threw a snap kick and hitting her knee hard. “Counter parrying a parry huh? Bullshit...”

There was an audible snap as she fell over… her knee was broken. The fire around her faded as she hollowed again, standing back up as he leg snapped itself back into place. When she reached behind her, she pulled out… a gold and blue Wayfinder, enclosed in a white stone. She tapped the ground with it, and fire erupted from the spot… Two giant half women half Spider ladies emerged from the fires, one with their own flaming sword, the other with small sparks of fire in her hands.

“Well…” I frowned. “You can go fuck yourself.” I said while summoning Skysplitter and slamming it into the ground, pillars of jagged earth spiking up underneath them.

They jumped quickly, their spider halves standing atop the jagged earth with ease as the pale with with fire in her hands slammed her fists into the ground, and pillars of fire emerged all around me. I felt a burning behind me- She burned my tail! Ouch!

“You like to play with fire huh?” I asked while summoning Bonds of Flame as the two things started to spin, all the fire they created swirling around them. “Well here! HAVE IT!” I shouted, raising up my arms and throwing white hot fire towards the things, it being way above what normal fire they have.

While I did see them burning, they acted anyway, the one with the sword thrusting it towards me as the spider half blew LAVA at me. I just realized they are both topless… The hell?

“Excuse me...but have either of you noticed you’re not wearing anything covering your tits?” I asked the two spider ladies, wondering if in this place they can actually talk.

Neither replied, but they jumped back, the one with the sword making a fire circle in the air while the other one shot a blue fireball into it… They made what looked like a portal, a monster with a grotesque face looked back at me… it was made of Lava. It roared, and fired off a massive blast of fire. I used Bonds of Flame to block, even with them the heat was still felt.

“Christ…” I muttered. ”God I wish I could use these things to their full potential…” I thought to myself, knowing from what I was told they would probably nearly kill me at this point in time but I brought out Lindworm and, from what I remember Joy was doing with that thing, summoned up a bunch of lances made of wind behind the two and thrust them down into them.

The two were impaled, like something for a horror movie. They faded into light, one gold orb on the floor and another white pulsating one floated. Trixie grabbed them both, almost hugging them as they floated into her, and her normal form returned.

“God damn it.” I muttered, throwing a ball of bladed winds at Trixie, hoping to catch her off guard while she was busy with those souls.

The wind hit her...but she didn’t flinch or move. The X-blade was also no longer on fire. She raised it up, and slammed it down, wind blasting out in all directions.

I used Lindworm to disperse the wind rushing at me. “Grasp of Nothingness!” I shouted, raising my hand up as a massive hand made of Twilight Thorns came up and tried to grab onto Trixie and tear her apart.

While it did grab her, it did not tear her apart. In fact, her skin was making sparks against the friction. I raised her up, and slammed her down to the ground… She got up like nothing. She was slower...a lot slower. I ran up, ready to block this one but when she hit Frozen Pride My arm broke, and I flew across the battlefield.

“Ow…” I muttered, using Aerial Recovery and getting back on my feet as I summoned my lexicon and healed myself quickly, a runic symbol appearing as lighting shot out towards what I could assume to be an armored boss in Dark Souls.

The Lightning seemed to damage her. She wasn’t done yet, she swung the X-blade, another blast of wind flying towards me.

I casted a wind wall to block it. “Triple Maximize Magic! Call Greater Thunder!” I shouted, three very powerful bolts of lightning all hit Trixie, the damage maximized due to the modifier.

That did the trick...though, what I saw was surprising. An ethereal iron being appeared in front of Trixie, falling down as it’s soul floated on the floor. Trixie grabbed it, her body hollowing as she let it float back into her.

“Oh no you don’t.” I said while dashing forward with Foudre and ready to stab her before she could get to her next form cause of course there’s got to be a bunch of forms.

To my surprise, she parreid me, her free hand glowing black as she jabbed it into my chest, forcing me to the ground as I felt her digging in my heart! She she pulled it out, I felt something missing...not my heart...something else. I saw in her free hand… Foudre, and they where not responding to me. She stole them?!

“Oh come the fuck on.” I groaned, getting a tad bit pissed about all these new things people can fucking do, before I summoned Lunatic and slammed it into her legs. Unfortunately with Foudres powers she moved fast. Dodging before backstabbing me with them, and nearly kicking me off the edge of the arena.

I stopped myself before I fell off and turned around, summoning Fair Game and scattering the cards on the ground and disappearing, a card clone coming out with Skysplitter and swinging swiftly at the bitch.

Foudres speed made her a quick dodger. She was dealing with my clones with Pyromancy and backstabs. ”Don’t know if this is supposed to be difficult, or some higher power is an asshole.” I thought to myself as she stepped over a card and nothingness thorns grabbed onto her legs and dug into them as a charged Sharpshooter shot fired straight at her head.

I felt Foudre return to me as I released her. She pulled out that Wayfinder again. Something felt off immediately. Trixie vanished, the arena gaining high stone walls. This actually looks like an arena now. “Oh great.” I muttered while reading myself for what’s to come next.

For a bit there was nothing… I was suddenly on the ground, a massive greatsword pierced me from behind and embedded itself through me into the ground. I looked up. They had a bum left arm, broken and tattered chrome and blue armor… and was drenched in what felt like void… but off. Way different from what John uses… more wild. They grew a black aura before raising their sword, with me on it, and spun, throwing me off like a rag doll and crashing myself into the newly made walls. Fucking Artorius...

I summoned my lexicon and casted a powerful heal spell. “Alright, Triple Maximize Magic, Reality Slash!” I shouted, three blades that seemed to cut through reality shot out towards Artorius. ”Triple Maximize Magic, Floating Master Mine.” I mutter almost wordlessly as three mines invisible to Artorius floated around waiting for their target.

While the reality slashes hit, With his aura up Artorius might not have dealt much to him. He jumped high into the air, the mine’s going off as he came down to impact me. He still landed his blow, the mines only making him miss by mear centimeters.

“BLACK HOLE!” I shouted, raising my hand up as a black ball formed in front of him as a powerful gravity tried to suck him in to his death.

He didn't move. Rather his aura grew massive. Fogging up the whole arena. The spell wore off, and he was still there. All that void returning into him as he stood up straight. His bum left arm glowed with void as he moved it, taking his sword in it and grabbing a shield with the right.

I groaned. “Yeah, cause why not.” I frowned. “Greater Teleport.” I said while teleporting about five hundred feet in the air. “Fly.” I said while feeling myself become weightless in midair as I downed some ethers to keep my mana up. “Alright. Maximize Magic, Hold of Rib!” I shouted, raising my hand as a ring of spiked bones shot out from all directions pointed straight towards Artorius.

They fired at him. He moved FAST, a mix of shield and sword movements to block, slash, or deflect the bones fired at him. He emerged unharmed. Then, he held out both arms, and took a single step forwards.

“Good, you can dodge.” I said honestly, having literally no idea what he meant by acting like this is a gladiatorial match. “Oh well, Maximize Magic, Shark Cyclone!” I shouted, a massive tornado suddenly swirled up and went after Artorius, literal sharks swimming in the wind ready to rip their prey apart.

He was sucked up into it, he tried to slash at them, but there were too many, and he faded into a soul Trixie grabbed.

“Oh no you don’t.” I growled while aiming Sharpshooter at her and firing, hoping to stop this wanton bullshit from going on any further. ”It may not work but damn it if I can stop the bastard from going to another phase I don’t care.” I think to myself.

The arrow hit, Trixie falling to her knees as she began vanishing in a glittering white light.

“Hey, it might have worked.” I said. “True Sight.” I muttered, my eyes glowing blue as I could see if she was just hiding in invisibility or not.

I didn’t see her anywhere, but a bonfire did appear before me, and sitting next to it, a maiden with tattered clothing. “Victor you are yet not.” She spoke.

“Is there another phase to this fight or do I have to go back and fight all the other bastards with too much health and too many forms?” I asked the maiden simply. “Cause I’m banking on both happening.” I frowned.

“Light the fire. Burn as she burned to heal my world. Feel the agony of ashes.”

“Cause you know, victory isn’t simple anymore.” I frowned. “Beat the boss that took forever? Good, now burn and suffer cause we hate you.” I said in a mock tone of the maiden.

“If it is not what you desire, then there is no shame, in taking your leave.” She said, a large door appearing behind me, it was like from the beginning of kh1. “Not all, can bear the flames of life and light.”

“Okay now you're just calling me a pansy for griping about bullshit.” I frowned while walking over to the Bonefire. “But...if it means helping those in need…” I said, my inner hero wanting to help those that needed it. “So, if I take the flame...what happens? Do I actually get to progress or do I die and have to start over because of the obvious trap?”

“Follow the footsteps. Kindle yourself. Sacrifice of one for others. Who other than a hero?” She asked me. “Feel what she felt when she saved my world, and move on, as she did.”

I took a deep breath. “You have no idea what I’d sacrifice for others…” I muttered while taking the flame, knowing that if I’m going to proceed and get stronger to protect those I care about, I’m gonna have to make some sacrifices.

The fire crawled onto me… Immediately I felt the inside and outside of my body burning. Everything was in pain. It was like when Rejection showed me what the Psychopaths felt. Fear, pain, hatred, betrayal, love, loss, gain, trust. I felt EVERYTHING happening at once. All I could do was scream as the fire burned me. I felt deaths. Death by fall, drowning, burning, being eaten alive, being emotionally empty like a hollow, emotionally wrecked like a human… So many feelings, so much pain, pleasure… It was unreal. But, it was. All of it. I saw how everyone was born on that world, how they were all going to die, up till I saw Trixie kindling herself for the fire… Then I saw those Spider woman joining her, Artorius, a giant white wolf, and many, many others, burning with her. She didn’t burn alone… She wasn’t alone...

As fast as I could move, I reached into my pocket, and pulled out my Wayfinder. “Come on...I know your all with me…” I said, bringing my Wayfinder close to my chest as I tried to call out to everyone I most likely have a D-Link to. “Please...I need your help…”

I felt a hand touch me. When I opened my eyes… Luna? Twilight, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Silence, AJ… My wife's, my kids… Across from me was… Jenny, as she was as a human, giving me a smile as the flames burned us all. They were all...smiling...happy?

“Heh...at least your all happy…” I said. “But...why are you all happy? Is there something on my face?” I joke, not entirely sure about this situation but at least I have my family here and they’re all happy.

I blinked… Everything was normal, I was standing on the station of Awakening… Did I pass? I felt something in my hand. Looking, it was a...fragment. A fragment of a heart shaped Keychain? Looking ahead of me, there was a large and small chest in front of me.

“Alright then…” I muttered, walking over and checking the chests just in case these fuckers were mimics cause Dark Souls boss fight leading into treasure chests.

They seemed okay. I tapped the small one with Reunion kh1 style, and it popped open. My assistant went wild.

There was a LOT more, but that was just the top few… If I had half of these equipped earlier SO much more would have been easier. “Okay...let’s see if I can equip all of these.” I said, hoping I can do such a thing cause it would make life so much easier at the moment.

Thankfully, I was able, with three ability ‘points’ left over. After that, I did feel a lot stronger… I jumped, then pushed my feet down fast. I know I was in mid air, but my foot hit something, and I went up MUCH higher, as Nothingness thorns sprung out like vines around me. A double jump with a built in AOE?! Where the hell has this been the entire time?! “Oh this is going to be so much fun.” I smiled like a madman as I gently floated down and checked the other chest.

Tapping it, it flipped open. I felt someONE get thrown out, almost tackling me, followed by another. Ouch.

“Ah fuck…” That...voice? “How hard did Core hit me?” Braig?!

“Where...am I?” I got up...Braig...and LAKE?!!! “Wasn't I… where was I last?” He asked himself

“Excuse me but how the fuck.” I said honestly. “Braig...and Lake...your Absent Silhouette is bullshit here dude.” I told Lake. “Literally bending reality...can you guys get off me?”

The got off. “Ben...I’d you get taller?” Braig asked. “Also...where in the nine realms of hell are we? Last thing I remember was… Core hitting me from a sneak attack...after that it’s all blank.”

“All I remember was helping Drezke take in Core’s darkness...then I’m here?” Lake thought aloud.

“Okay...so first up, some explanations.” I said before explaining to the two all that’s been happening, and what happened to the both of them after it all blanked out for them.

“So...I am a baby...yours...and I have a goddamn afro?!” Braig shouted.

“If Drezke is this far gone… Oh no… But, how are we even here?” Lake asked. “Unless… Maybe… Well here’s a theory. Time is also believed to move through dimensions, layer by layer… This… Zeke’s Absent Silhouette must be able to take one layer of that and move it to another area. Meaning we both must have been taken mere moments before the events you know took place, but, because we were just a single layer of time, we did not alter it at all. So we can exist without problems. Interesting.” Lake said in thought. He clearly holds a fair amount of Zeke’s intelligence.

“Okay one, you don’t have an afro...I wouldn’t consider Pinkie hair as an afro, and two your Absent Silouhette is still ridiculous dude.” I said to Lake. “But hey...I have this that Death gave me that will calm Drezke down a fuck ton.” I said honestly while showing Lake the glove. “And it’ll help you get back with him...and then get Kexez to calm his tits for a change.”

“And, this about Zeke’s soul being inside another body?” Lake asked.

“Yeah...he’s inside Trixie’s body at the moment...and then there’s also the fact that there’s a clone of Zeke…” I said sheepishly. “But don’t worry, he’s cool...and I’m pretty sure all your wives know about it.”

“... Well, things will be...interesting if we can get Drezke and Kexez to reunite with me… still, that leaves the issue about our soul. Without him, we are not complete.”

“What’s going to happen, as far as I know, is when you and Drezke get back together, Kexez will start to calm down, and then Zeke will waltz over and beat Kexez and then...something happens that will get you four back together into one person.” I said honestly, not really knowing how things are going to go.

“So, the question is why us specifically are here?” Braig asked. “I mean, that's weird, right?”

“It is weird…” I said honestly. “I mean...Lake here is someone I actually needed here...but Braig…” I thought, wondering why Braig was here.

“Perhaps this thing reads your heart, and gives you what you want, and who, whether you know it or not.”

“Alrighty then. Well I’m pretty sure I have six other fights here…” I said, looking around for the door back to the main area cause I’m pretty sure I’m gonna have to fight the rest cause this place isn’t nice.

“Well, mind is we tag along?” Braig asked. “If I’m back from ‘death’ I don’t wanna be rusty.”

“Sure.” I nodded. “Might as well get you two back in shape by fighting very unfun fights.” I said honestly.

“So, who is next in this place then, Zeke or Eclipse? Or an older X-blade wielder?” Lake asked.

“Hmm…” I looked at all the other people. “Zeke, why not.” I said honestly. “Never got to fight him before actually.”

“Well, let’s see my whole self’s true potential then.” Lake said.

“Alright.” I nodded while walking over to Zeke. “Alright you, get up and let’s fight.” I said to the absent silhouette.

I activated Zeke. His heart was himself in standard Station of awakening pose, the X-blade in hand and Kingdom Hearts in the background. I saw the Silhouette slowly fall from above, then glow, forming Zeke as he readied himself. “This won’t be good…” Lake said.

“Then let’s make it fun.” Braig said, taking out his own gunarrows.

“Don’t worry.” I said while summoning my Lexicon and rebuffing myself and casting all my buff spells on Lake and Braig. “Buff’s are gonna come in handy.” I said, seeing Lake and Braig both had health bars and mana bars above my own. “Well, let’s get on with it.” I said, using an ether on myself. “Maximize Magic, True Dark!” I shouted, a pillar of pure darkness slamming down onto Zeke.

He dodged, disbanding the X-blade before rushing us. He got Lake in the neck, sending him into a coughing fit before yanking one of Braig’s weapons and shooting both his feet. He’s stuck… He then ran after me, I pulled up Frozen Pride but he spin kicked, knocking me aside on the ground before hammer fisting his foot into my stomach. Who the hell thought… Oh right, crime family… I remembered.

“Well...this is not good…” I muttered, my Lexicon appearing. “Slow!” I shouted, a clock forming above Zeke as it seemed to slow down to a crawl, our opponent being a lot slower than before as I brought out Foudre and grabbed his leg, stabbing into his calf and sending a powerful surge of electricity into him.

With a Slow and Electricity in him, he still managed to grab my chest, using himself like a pathway for it to zap me. While with Foundre equipped it wasn’t as bad as it can be, it still hurt. His slow down ended, and he moved fast, knocking Braig upside his head and grabbed Lake’s arm, and threw him at Braig. “Crap! No Keyblade!” Lake shouted.

Zeke then summoned Fenrir, clashing them with Foundre. “Crap…” I muttered, Lindworm appearing and trying to stab into Zeke.

He side stepped, summoning Master Keeper and slamming it on Lindworm. He then kicked me back before slashing me with both of them. Without thinking, I moved fast, Lindworm in one hand and Foundre in the other, both hit him, electrifying him and knocking him back… Payback Fang...right… Abilities come in handy. “Yay for abilities…” I muttered thankfully, preparing myself before three Dire Wolf Nobodies leaped out of nowhere and tried to claw, bite and trip up Zeke. “Oh yeah…” I muttered, remembering my Auto Nobody summoning ability.

Zeke had a bit of trouble with the Wolf Nobodies, and then Arrows pummeled him. “Mother Fucker!” Braig yelled, offloading his whole clips into Zeke.

“Megaflare!” Lake shouted, casting the spell from his hands and striking Zeke. “You don’t have a spare Keyblade, do you?” Lake asked me.

I thought for a moment. “Create Greater Item.” I said while a powerful magical sword appeared in my hand, before I reached into my pocket and grabbed the Shard of Yellow and put it on the thing, remembering that there was a thing about putting a keychain on non keyblade weapons turning them into keyblades of some sort.

It changed into that Keyblade of Yellow’s variation of Memory Stealer. I handed it over to Lake. “Thank you.” There was a small flash of light. Zeke now had the X-blade split down the middle, holding each half by the Kingdom Key handles. “Ah crap.”

“Okay then…” I frowned, not liking that before summoning Sharpshooters and shoving them into portals as bullets shout out at Zeke in a bunch of directions, remembering I had an ability that stopped the reflection of it’s bullets.

He moved fast, blocking each rapid fired Arrow before charging. Lake clashed blades with him while Braig fired a charged shot. “Now things are getting better.” Braig said, rapid shooting/teleporting.

“It is so much easier fighting with other people.” I muttered thankfully as I raised my hand, Nothingness thorns grabbing onto Zeke’s legs to keep him from moving around so much and crawling up his body and cutting him up in the process.

Zeke broke free, jumping off the edge before rising back on… Rip off! He’s riding a Keyblade version of Lindworm’s dragon attack! Oh shit he’s attacking.

“Shit!” I yelped. “Maximize Magic, Wall of Force!” I shouted, raising my hand up an a wall of invisible force appeared in front of me, Lake and Braig to block said attack.

His Keyblade dragon fired off a mixed beam of light and darkness. Thankfully my barrier held, and when he landed, flashing a bright, white light before landing on the ground, his clothes a familier red color. He has a valor form! The X-blade in one hand and a Starseeker in the other.

“Sure, why the fuck not.” I frowned. “Maximize Magic, Ray of Enfeeblement!” I shouted, raising my hand as a ray of energy shot out towards Zeke, hoping to cut his strength down by a bunch.

I forgot how FAST you move in Valor. He dodged, dragging his Keyblades across the ground as he forced them into Braig’s chest, knocking him over before clashing one with Lake and the other with me. “Well okay then.” I said before using Lindworm to try and trip the bastard so we could hit him hard.

He jumped, air comboing my head before delivering his final blow on Lake. My auto summon nobody activated. Three dusks appeared and wrapped themselves around Zeke, allowing me to impale Lindworm on him. “Wind Skewer.” I said as wind rushed through Zeke as bladed winds ripped into his insides.

Since this was all… not actually him, all that flowed out was liquid light. His wounds healed fast before he jumped back, glowing again as this time his attire was Wisdom form blue. He jumped off the edge, and flew back up on three rings of flying Keyblades outside the edge and above us.

“Cause why not.” I frowned while aiming Sharpshooters and firing them at Zeke.

He cast reflect, bouncing them back at us before firing off those magic bolts at us.

I opened up portals as the shots entered them and appeared behind Zeke. “Oh no, not falling for that shit.” I frowned, seeing the bullets going straight back at the bastard. He cast Reflect,the splash damage hitting me but my payback fang hit him hard, knocking him off the Keyblade rails and back to the Station of awakening. “Grasp of Nothing!” I shouted, raising my hand up as hands made of Nothingness Thorns rushed up and grabbed onto Zeke. They did damage as they strangled him. When that ended his Wisdom form had ended, and he switched to Master form, both the X-blade and Master Keeper in his hands.

“Know what? Fuck you.” I frowned.

Braig and Lake rushed in, distracting him as I hit him from behind with Lunatic, he immediately fell out of Master form from the force of the attack, and again, went into another form… this one was different though. His clothes looked old, torn and dirty, he floated, and had two wings made up of Keyblades emerging out of his back, connected by their Keychains. He also didn’t have any Keyblades in his hands.

“Uh oh…” Lake said.

“Why uh oh?” I asked worriedly. “Is this some unknown form I don't know about?”

“This is like when an entire Keyblade graveyard took us over… he’s using literally EVERY keyblade in this form.”

“Um…” I started. “I...think I have something…” I check what drive forms I had just in case I got something new.

Valor Form
Wisdom Form
Master Form
Anti Form
Final Form
Heir’s Valor Form

“Um...let's go with that one.” I said while choosing Heirs Valor Form and wondering if it's any different than normal.

I felt a surge of power. I felt…. Fast. Memed sonic fast! My attired was a light red, Reunion and Dusk Blades in hands as red Nothingness thorns sparked all around me. I looked above me, seeing SHarpshooter above my head, in an almost ethereal form while the Chakrams where behind me, spinning slowly like gears. This is...interesting. “This is gonna be fun.” I smiled before bolting off towards Zekes and seeing what my attacks can do.

Each attack sliced him at blinding speeds, and when he blocked, summoning Keyblades around him like a wall, the Red Nothingness thorns phased through them, sticking him back. Oh. Hell. Yes. “This is amazing!” I laughed happily, moving one of my chakrams with my foot and slashing at the wall of keyblades to get them to get out of my way. Sharpshooter, not having a visual on Zeke, fired off it’s clip, finishing it’s clip off with a charged shot. “Can’t wait to learn the other forms.” I said with glee as I tried to get past the wall.

Zeke made his wall expand, making me backup as he showed himself weilding a Kingdom Key that… looked like it had Starseeker color on it, before jamming it into the ground, the whole floor glowing as Keyholes started appearing everywhere… and Keyblades shot from them like bullets! “Excuse me but I call bullshit!” I shouted, using my insane speed to dodge all the keyblades, using Eternal Flames like roller blades to help with my speed as Sharpshooters shot at all the keyblades I might not be able to dodge as I rushed towards Zeke.

It was fast, we suddenly locking blades as his barrage of Keyblades still was going on. His Keyblade wings flapped, a gust of wind almost knocking me back. His attack ended, and he flew up, ready to slam down as… the whole ‘sky’ was nothing but Keyblades pointed down...

“Alright…” I muttered, revving up Eternal Flames as flames started to swirl behind me glowing white and getting bigger, red Nothingness Thorns swirling around my keyblades as Sharpshooters glowed blue, ready to fire everything. “Bring it bitch!” I taunted.

Zeke struck, the pain was like getting stabbed on every cell in my body. Lake and Braig under a Reflect spell. With that over Sharpshooter fired at Zeke, and I body slammed him til he phased out of that form. He jumped back up immediately, hitting my jaw as my form dispersed. He then held his Wayfinder… and I felt...something. Nothingness thorns began pulsating from him as in his left hand he held… the Keyblade Greatsword Joy wielded when fighting Eve… In his other hand was a ball of Nothingness.

“That’s bullshit…” I frowned, backing away and healing myself quickly. “That’s not good at all.

“Got any ideas?” Lake asked.

Just then, a Twilight Thorn rose from the darkness below, taking Zeke in it’s hand and opening it’s zipper, placing him inside as the Keyblade Greatsword appeared in it’s left hand. “I got a cyanide pill.” Braig stated. “We can split.”

I frowned. “I hate this.” I said, trying to think of something to do to stop this real quick. ”Wait, didn’t Joy have reaction commands?” I thought to myself, wondering if that will actually come into play here.

As if on cue I reacted, blocking it’s Keyblade as it tried to strike, reacting again and sending it off to the side as I then rushed it’s chest. Slamming it hard enough til it fall over partly onto the station out of it. “Quick Thinking.” Braig said, opening fire on the Twilight Thorns head.

“Thank god for reaction commands…” I muttered while stabbing Foudre into the thing and pumping it full of electricity. “But D-links are kind of broken when you can do this shit…” I frowned, wondering if it’s just what these boss fights could do or if it was for anyone.

“It’s the X-blade.” Lake said, slamming his Keyblade into it’s head. “His connection to it and Kingdom hearts means D-links not only give him his friends and more special abilities, but also their weapons, and power. In a way it’s like he borrows their heart.” Lake explained, the Twilight Thorn getting back up, slamming down it’s massive Keyblade on us before falling down into the darkness. “... You don’t think…?” Lake asked.

“I wonder what’s next.” I frowned while recasting all the buffs on the three of us.

The ground shook, and the floor tilted til Lake jabbed his Keyblade into the edge, each of us catching the other by the foot. There, we saw the Twilight thorn holding a ball of energy. “Shit, just like when Roxas fought it!” Lake yelled, the Twilight thorn jumping up as we all fell up, it ready to slamm that ball of energy into us.

“Alright.” I said while dropping down, summoning Skysplitter and pumping a lot of energy into it as I threw it into the ball to see if it’ll work the same as in the game.

The ball of energy exploded, sending us all crashing back to the station of awakening. The Twilight Thorn fell down the the ground, and we got up fast to deal damage. The Twilight Thorn died, Zeke falling out of it as I ran, slashing across him. He stumbled, and fell over.

“Are you done yet?” I asked with a frown, hating all these damned phases.

The X-blade appeared in his hand, only to glow bright, and now there was a blue haired Zeke next to the original. The blue haired one got up, taking Zeke by the wrist as Zeke transformed into a X-blade, looking much like the original, but with Kingdom Key D colors for it’s Kingdom Keys. X, I am assuming, then pointed it at me. “Oh fuck…” Braig said.

“I call bullshit.” I frowned. “Are you kidding me? Five phases for phase one? You can suck a fat one.” I complained, summoning Lunatic and pumping in my rage cause this was just bullshit.

I charged, only for X to deflect it and palm strike my chest, knocking the wind out of me before vanishing, appearing behind me and slamming… Zeke-blade into my back. Braig charged a shot, X deflected it. Lake managed a hit but was tossed into the air before being hammer fisted down.

I growled, two Berserkers falling down and slamming their claymores into X as I raised Sharpshooters and fired at the bastard. X made quick work of the Berserkers, then spun his… Zeke-blade fast, deflecting every shot. I summoned Reunion and we locked blades, each time either I blocked an attack, or he blocked my attack, or we just crossed blades.

Lake dealt another strike on him from behind, and that gave me a chance to deal damage. I clenched my fist, twilight thorns coursing through it as a gauntlet was made and I slammed it into X’s stomach. “Thorn Pulse.” I said as Nothingness Thorns shot into X and started to rip into him.

It seems to deal a lot of damage. Guess the X-blade has little defence against Nothingness. X fell over, changing back into his Keyblade form as he and Zeke, both as Keyblades sat on the floor. “Are we done yet?” Lake asked, breathing heavily.

“No, it’s not.” I frowned, still at the ready. “I know for a fact we’re not done yet.”

There was a bright, blinding light and we...no, I was alone, in a large grass field with a bright blue sky. Before me I saw a kid, blue hair and golden eyes. He smiled at me. “Surprised to see you here.” He spoke. “Then again, your brother made it.”

“Um…” I frowned. “What's going on? And which brother?”

“Joy, of course. The first to beat this.”

“Oh yeah.” I nodded. “Joy probably had so much fun doing this. So, I presume your Kingdom Hearts?” I asked curiously.

The kid nodded. “So, have any questions?”

“Why is this entire fight this damn long?” I asked. “And yes, I know I’m going to have to fight you next.”

“Zeke is...unique. He can fight and keep on, and is the only person with bloodline linking them back to my X-blades first mortal wielder. Tainted as it may be from the Psychopaths, it’s still part of why he is so powerful.”

“Alright...are you scared of the upcoming war?” I asked it curiously.

Kingdom Hearts shook their head. “Blood is spilled every day. This war will be no different. But by it’s end, this multiverse will be as it was meant to. One world, one sky. And from what I know of Cript’s plans, the rest of creation will be the same.”

“Oh boy.” I said with a frown. “So...what’s it like being connected to damn near everything?’

“Well, to me it’s normal. To you, it would be like knowing what everyone and everything is doing at once.”

“That sounds like a pain in the ass.” I said honestly. “Give you can probably see the future...how long will the war last?” I asked.

“If you act fast, a day. Less.”

“How fast?” I asked worriedly.

“That I can’t answer.”

“Will I learn how fast after I beat you? Cause this entire thing somehow goes through time and space and gives you things, from people to history to items.” I said honestly.

“Nope. But all you have to do, is hit me once.”

“Okay then.” I nodded as I cracked my knuckles. “Triple magic, Meteor Storm!” I shouted, the sky darkening as an ass ton of meteors rained down towards Kingdom Hearts.

He side stepped them all. “Try again.”

“Okay…” I said while summoning Frozen Pride and throwing it like a frisbee, ice shooting off towards the kid as I ran behind it drawing Foudre and throwing daggers down at the ground to set up a trap.

KH swung both Zeke and X, destroying it all. “Be careful, I gave Joy a wedgie when he fought me.”

“Well I'm not Joy.” I said while throwing down Fair Game face down and disappearing, knowing Foudre was in place as I appeared used Sharpshooters to see if I can hit the kid.

He wasn’t anywhere, until both X-blades where around my neck. “Getting-” I wrapped my tail around his leg. “... I forgot you had a tail.” He said, disbanding the two as everything became a black void. Looking around, I saw something in the distance. It was...one of the Mushroom thirteen...running at me. It stopped about ten feet away from me and tripped, sliding to a stop at my feet.

“Hey little guy.” I said to the Mushroom. “How you doing?” I asked it, checking to see if a mini game prompt came up.

It jumped back up, clapping as mini fireworks went off around it. It then did a backflip, vanishing as thirteen chests appeared, the last one was MASSIVE. Easy thrice my height.

“Well fuck.” I said honestly. “And here I thought I would have gotten a cute Mushroom Thirteen friend.” I chuckled as I walked over to one of the smaller chests and opened it.

My Assistant flashed after it opened.

Limit Form Obtained.
Heir’s Wisdom Form Obtained.
Heir’s Master Form Obtained
Heir’s Final Form Obtained
Heir’s Anti Form Obtained
Heir’s Limit Form Obtained
Primal Form Obtained.

“Cool.” I said, hoping to be able to test the new forms out soon as I stepped over to the second chest and opened it up.

Rather than flash up, inside the chest was… a VERY familiar golden lamp… No fucking way…

“Oh please tell me…” I muttered while grabbing the lamp and then rubbing it, hoping Genie was in here.

It began shaking, violently so before, just like in Aladdin… he was coming out. “EEEEYAAAAA! OWI!” He yelled, his neck popping and his normal blue ‘skin’ color returning. “Ten thousands years, will give ya such a crick in the neck!” He said in his famous Robin Williams voice.

“I can imagine. How you doing besides that?” I asked curiously.

“Well aside from knowing for a fact this is not where I was last placed… not too bad. So, you the lucky lad who rubbed my lamp the right way huh? Hehehe, relax kid I am still part of good old homophobe disney. So, what can I do for ya?” He asked, shrinking to my size and I found myself on a rather comfy chair.

“How much do you know about other worlds?” I asked curiously. “This isn’t a wish just so you know.” I added.

“Well for starters I know about the Keyblade war, how it finished off world traveling for pretty much everybody and how the reason they were split up is because Core used that special move of his when fighting Lord Morse, an older wielder of the keyblade, and I know that all this information good old Nomura would likely make some other craziness up for. Anything else?”

“What would you think of helping me out in future fights?” I asked curiously.

“You hold the lamp kid, I’m doing whatever you are wishing.”

“I know, but if I wished you free, would you still help or would you just go wherever you pleased?” I asked honestly.

“Hm...Freedom? No one has ever offered… Well… I guess I would owe ya if you did that… Eh, what the heck. If you free me then I’ll just be a summon charm away.”

“Alright.” I nodded. “Genie, I wish you were free.” I said simply.

“Wait, what? Just like that?” He said, his golden bracelets breaking off, and his mist lower half turning to full on legs. “You...didn’t even use your first two wishes… Kid you are really something else ya know that?” He said, hugging me and I think my spine popped.

“I’m a hero Genie, why would I not immediately try to free you?” I asked honestly. “And also...on a technical level you were wished free by Aladdin but that’s neither here nor there at the moment.”

“Yeah but this is your AU, none of this is cannon!” He said, smiling as he gave me a noogie. He then put me down, grabbing his lamp and with a wave of his hand, changed it to a little summon charm. He handed it to me, then saluted. “I’ll be seeing ya around kid! Oh how rude of me! I am Genie. What’s your name kid?”

“Names Ben.” I said. “And if you ever need a place to stay, you can always go to my Equestria, I’m sure my friend and family would love to meet you.” I said with a smile.

“Will do kid! I’ll be seeing ya!” He said, a pair of suitcases appearing out of nowhere. He grabbed them, then vanished in a reddish pink puff of smoke.

“Alright.” I nodded, still happy to help as I moved over to the third chest and opened it up.

Obtained the Ultima Weapon.

My Assistant said.

“Um...okay.” I said while checking to see which Ultima Weapon it was, whether it was a specific Kingdom Hearts Ultima Weapon or if it was a different Ultima Weapon.

After some searching it was a Keychain… It was the Kingdom hearts two version.

“Cool.” I said while swapping out Reunion for Ultima. “This is definitely a boost.” I said while moving over to the fourth chest.

Obtained x40 Fruit of Eden.

“The hell?” I looked a little confused, checking my Assistant to see what the heck that is.

Fruit of Eden.

A magical fruit that when eaten, boots the eaters max health by 10 points.

“Cool.” I said while bringing out one of those apples and eating it to get the HP boost. “Okay…” I muttered while opening the fifth chest.

Ability Acquired: Thorns Boost.

Nothingness Thorns now deal 30% more damage.

“Sweet.” I said with a nod, going on my Assistant and equipping said ability before going to the sixth chest and opened it.

Inside this chest was a deck of cards, they seemed normal. Taking them out, I took one out, and it broke, and I felt…. Like a thousand cups of coffee just was injected into me… I felt SOOOOO HYPER!

“The fuck!?” I yelped, checking what the heck just happened. “Excuse me, but why?” I said, feeling way too hyper.

Status effect Cards

Each card delivers a different effect on the user. Use wisely.

“Oh dear.” I muttered worriedly as I went to the seventh one and opened it.

Obtained Keyblade reinforcements, and Evolutions. Vol 1-2,569

“What now?” I asked in confusion, checking what the hell those things were. “What the heck is Evolutions Volume...what now?”

Keyblade reinforcements and Evolutions, is a long, ancient book series consisting of over two thousand written texts detailing Keyblades forgotten and often overlooked ability to be reinforced and evolve into higher versions of themselves. The only surviving tombs known are Volumes one through ten, after the world was split up into the stars and multiverse we exist in now.

“That is very useful. Gonna need to read those when I’m not busy.” I say honestly while checking the eighth chest. “What is under chest number eight?”

Limits Obtained.

Strike Raid
Reflect Raid
Trinity
Infinity
Sonic Rave
Last Arcanum
King's Wrath
Battle Ground
No Man's Land

“I wonder what those last three do?” I said, also noting that Ars Arcanum was changed to ‘Last Arcanum’. “Chest number nine.” I said while opening chest number nine.

Obtained Kingsblade Keyblade.

“Another Keyblade eh?” I asked, checking to see what the thing looked like cause that sounded cool.

It’s Keyblade was...the Nothingness symbol, with a crown atop it… no way… I equipped it… and it was the very same Keyblade… The one Joy used against Eve...and the one Zeke used against me…

“Excuse me but your supposed to be a greatsword…” I frowned, trying to figure this out while going to my Assistant and equipping Reunion to my Heir Valor and Ultima to Heir Master for the moment as I kept Kingsblade as my main one for the moment. “Okay...number ten.” I said while opening number ten.

Inside where three small… clusters? No… hearts?

Heart of Sora
Heart of Kiari
Heart of Riku.

“Well...I may have the genderbent variants as Nobodies….maybe I can give them these?” I wondered, not entirely sure about that as I took all the hearts and hoped they would be safe in my assistant as I checked the eleventh chest.

Inside this one was… a ps4? That’s rather random- WAIT! I checked the three games next to it… Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5 final mix 2.8 final chapter prologue… and Kingdom Hearts 3!

“Sweet!” I cheered happily, glad to be able to replay this whole series and share a really good game series to my kids. “What’s in number twelve?” I wondered, putting the PS4 and games away in my Assistant and checking the second to last chest.

Obtained 999,999,999,999,999 of All synthesis materials, healing items, and items.

...if this were an online game...I’d so get banned...

“O~kay then.” I said a little nervously, not really sure what I’ll need literally all the things but I’m sure if I ‘donate’ Luxu all this shit he’ll figure out something. “And now for the huge bitch.” I said while looking at the giant ass chest. “What is in here…” I said while trying to open that.

It was a struggle, but I managed to force the lid open. Inside this was… a crap ton of different Keyblades, organization weapons… and a crown? It was gold and grey, and held the Nobody symbol as it’s centerpiece.

“Well....this is a bunch.” I said while taking the crown and putting it on, replacing the old silver crown Celestia got me all those...months ago...jesus it really hasn’t been that long now that I think about it. “Wait...didn’t I make those?” I muttered while grabbing a pair of gauntlets that radiated Nothingness. “Huh...interesting.”

I decided to punch the chest with one of them after I got all the equipment out… MASSIVE nothingness thorns wrapped around the chest… and crushed it to splinters… Hell...yes…”I am keeping these.” I said bluntly, checking the name of these new kick ass gauntlets.

Vice Splinter

Att: 50

Def: 20

Mag: 0

While also dealing massive Physical Damage, anything hit with these gauntlets will be wrapped in Overgrown Nothingness Thorns, and crushed, or severely cut depending on variables.

Special Ability: Critical- Every other hit is a critical hit.

“I am keeping this, this is mine, and no one is allowed to take it.” I said to myself while seeing it vanish, being put into my roster of my summonable equipment as I put all the other equipment away for when I’ll need to basically arm an entire army. “Also...I wonder where the other twelve mushrooms are?” I wondered honestly, feeling a side quest brewing here. “Okay...so am I going to fight the other bunch of people or is that it?” I wondered, looking around for the exit back to the hub.

After looking around I spotted something on the floor. Walking over to it, it was… the other half of that heart keychain thing. I put the two together, and they glowed, fusing into the whole heart. “Alright…” I checked my assistant for the new whole keychain. “What’s special about now…” I wondered.

X-blade Keychain.

Used to create a special variant of the X-blade unique to the person it it made for.

“And I just got a new one…” I muttered while swapping my heir keyblade to my Heir Final Form and equipping my new X-blade, wondering what it looks like right now considering it’s supposed to be specific to the person.

Holding the Keychain I- “Ow!” I yelped, dropping it as it...cut me… and was absorbing the blood… Okay~. “Um...okay…” I muttered while grabbing the keychain again, wondering if the pesky little bastard is gonna cut me again.

It forced itself out of my hand, floating there for a moment before I was knocked over as MASSIVE Nothingness, light, and Darkness floated into the Keychain. It was so much energy… I felt nauseated… Finally it stopped, the heart Keychain turning from white to pink and gaining the Nobody symbol into/over it. It then began forming the blade part, Nothingness thorns creating those large designed parts between the crossed Kingdom Key parts. The Kingdom Keys were replaced by both Reunion and Dusk Blade. The two wrapped in Nothingness thorns as emerging from them was a Crescent moon, with a white silhouette of a wolf howling on the dark side of it just below it’s tip.

“Sure…” I muttered. “It does look cool...but why the hell am I getting an X-blade, and two shouldn’t there only be one of you?” I asked with a frown, knowing I can’t actually hear the keyblade but I am all sorts of confused why I’m getting one and why there are multiples.

I checked my Assistant.

No Heart X-blade

Att: 25

Def: 12

Mag: 12

A Keyblade forged with Nothingness. The first of its kind. It’s power flows between the realms of light and darkness, as Nothingness should. As a result, it’s power is based on the Balance in the area.

Special Ability: Tranquility- Any Heatless that make contact with this blade will regain their true forms is they are an Emblem, if Pureblood, they will become a new life. Nobodies before this weapon, as it’s wielders command, regain their lost hearts.

“Excuse you.” I said, being startled into a laugh just from how absurd this things ability is. “I will gladly take that.” I said with a giant smile. “Now...am I going to have to fight the other X-blade wielders? And will I maybe have to fight myself?” I wondered, thinking that because this was all about X-blade wielders that I would appear here somehow.

Just then...I was dragged into a portal that appeared below me… Great…
