The next morning I started giving keyblades to the Guards. Shining and Cadence haven’t gotten their keyblades yet but it should be soon knowing them. It took me most of the day to do the ceremony for the guards. I'm pretty sure the others were laughing at my expense. Anyway I'm tired and heading to bed now. I can't train when I'm this exhausted from all that.

When I got to my door I saw Roseluck in front of it looking nervous. Curious I walked over to her. When she heard me she looked at me and smiled a little.

“Hello Rose.” I said. “Why are you here?” Did she need something?

She looked at me than asked. “Can you make me a Keyblade wielder too?”

She wants to be a keyblade wielder? Where did that come? “Are you sure? It's a big responsibility and I figured you were still grieving over your family.” I said.

“Of course I'm sure! I wasn't able to protect my daughter and my husband died protecting me! I don't want to be useless anymore. This time I will protect my loved ones!” She said. Determination in her eyes, I looked at for a few seconds, then chuckled.

“ I figured you felt that way. Just want to be sure. Ok Roseluck.” I did the ceremony for her too.

“When your keyblade appears you will start with the recruits in training. They are being trained by Undyne and Sans. Once your done with them we’ll see where to go from there. After all I'm not even a master yet haha.” I said with a small laugh at the end.

With that I entered my room. I heard her walk away...I mean trot away. I took off my gear and then went to bed. I'm going to need to rest for tomorrow’s training.

The next day I changed how we trained. Vanitas will be training the elite class while the others spar amongst themselves. Undyne and Sans will be sparing with me. This is so both the elites and myself can get more battle experience against more than one type of enemies. Vanitas is more of a close range fighter mixed in with range spells and abilities while Undyne and Sans are more ranged do to their abilities. Although Sans excuse is that one good hit will kill him or something...I'm pretty sure one good hit will kill anyone.

“Ok you two. Ready to go?” I said summoning Fenrir.

“Only if you’re ready to have a bad time…” Sans answered back.

I smirked a little. “We’ll see about that.”

Before I could even move Sans eyes shined a dark blue as I was slammed to the ground along with a bit of the debris which was crushed into dust. I barely managed to jump up when a large collection of bones appeared below me nearly skewering me. Before I could get my footing a long corridor of bones started to try and clip into me from the side. I managed to squeeze through with the only damage from the initial slam. When I looked around four large dog skulls appeared and attempted to blast me apart corralling me into a small area. When I was about to relax they appeared at random corners and blasted directly at me forcing me to the ground as the beams skimmed across my chest. I had to move immediately after when another barrage came for where I was lying ready to char me down.

“Was that it?” I said with a bit of arrogance...I soon wished I'd kept my mouth shut.

“GET DUNKED ON!!” Sans yelled out.

Two extremely large skulls appeared on either side of me. ‘Clever skeleton’ I thought. Then the two beams splashed into me causing me to get tossed back and forth between both of them for a few seconds until the attack stopped and I gracefully fell to the ground… Though gracefully did end with me face first in the dirt mumbling about how it wasn’t enough to take me out.

“My turn…” Undyne said.

“Oh crap” I said remembering this ain't one on one…it’s two on one with me the one.

Several dozens of spears appeared all around me coated in water magic. They all pointed at me and immediately shot forth directly for my body… only to surround me in an outline of where the ground was so that all the spears kept me pinned to the ground. Things shrunk from how close the tips of the spears came when they were near my legs.

“.......uh… I surrender?” I said nervously. Note to self. Don't take these two lightly anymore. I thought I was about to freakin DIE for a second.

“Hahaha. Shouldn't have gone easy on us punk. Even though you're stronger we can still beat you. Don't ever let your guard down even against someone weaker than you. That might just end with you getting your butt kicked again.” Undyne said. Both bragging and teaching me something. Dang. No wonder Zeke recommend these guys.

“She’s right you know.” Sans said...while asleep? When did he fall asleep and how did he talk in his sleep?

“Be honest. Was that your guy's full power or were you still holding back?” I asked. Feeling they may have held back more than half.

“About Ten percent for me, and I'm already bone-tired.” Take a guess who said that.

“Five percent for me. Trust me there would have been way more spears I'd I was using more.” Undyne said. Well now I just feel weak again.

“That's it! I'm training with you guys till I'm able to fight both of you at your full strength!” I said. I need to get stronger faster. Fighting beings like Undyne and Sans will definitely help. Just hope that Vanitas doesn't kill the elites by accident in the meantime.

Undyne smirked and pounded her fist into her hand. “Alright punk, but we won't go easy on you. Right Sans.” No reply. “...Sans?” She looks behind her to see Sans gone. Wait. Where did he go?! “What da?! Sans!!” Undyne looks pissed now...and I'm still pinned

‘Someone help me!’ I screamed internally.

After Undyne left to hunt down Sans, may the Void help him, Rose found me pinned and freed me...after finishing laughing for about five minutes straight.

Turns out her keyblade is a Rose themed keyblade called Divine Rose. Ironic I guess, or even fate haha.

Anyway lucky Vanitas didn't kill anyone by accident...just sent them to the ER. I then asked him to go easier on them so he doesn't kill them...he said he was going easy.

After a few weeks everyone had gotten stronger. I could tell somehow. Like I could sense their strength. Rose even advanced to Gilda’s class along with Twilight and the others.

I've even gotten faster and better at dodging ranged attacks. I also managed to make them draw out their keyblades and fight me.

“Ok you two. This is the last day before we switch back. Don't hold back”. I said gathering Void into myself. I then opened my eyes showing them glowing purple with slits. “Because I'm not.”

As I readied myself Sans started up with his same opening attack but right in the middle of it he struck out with a gravity raid when I was dodging the second round of lasers. I knocked it out of the air with a raid move of my own causing the spell to go off prematurely. When I touched the ground again the same attack that nearly caused me to die appeared. The two beams struck each other while I was in the air dodging the beam.

Before I could congratulate myself or use a void blast to fire at Sans, Undyne appeared behind me and grabbed me. She did an epic level piledriver and slammed me into the ground before using her keyblade like a spear. Even though the impact smashed me into the ground I grabbed the keyblade throwing it back at her which she dodged and summoned a ton of spears which fired at me.

“That won't work this time!” I yelled using a Void powered protect.

As the spears were knocked off from the shield several of the dog skull blasters appeared all around me… sixteen in all and immediately fired on me while another gravity raid struck the shield causing more stress. They didn’t hold back and used every spear and blaster they had in their arsenal. Several cracks appeared all over the shield… ‘not strong enough…’ I thought.

The shield shattered as I immediately started to run out of the impact area. Even throughout my retreat they kept firing more spears and lasers. As I regained some stance I saw Sans eyes glow again. I managed to keep on my feet while the gravity from his ability managed to stop me in place. Undyne came in with her keyblade and I managed to hold mine up at the blades clashed. She wasted no time and got behind me and picked me up in another piledriver. This time I used a void blast to knock my elbows into her guy making her let go. Even though she did… I still fell to the ground landing face first. Before I could get back to my feet Sans grabbed me in his gravity control and started to slam me into the ground and walls until I could barely stand. He looked extremely tired though and Undyne was clutching her stomach.

“You ready for my special attack then John?” Sans muttered while wheezing.

“Knowing you let me guess...it's nothing right.” I said chuckling a little.

“If only…” His eye disappeared and his sockets were dark.

“Crap.”

Before he could do anything Undyne came up from behind me and knocked me upside my head knocking me out.

“Did he forget about me?” Undyne muttered.

“I’m glad you did that. I was dried to the bone by that battle.” Sans grinned. He had nothing left.

“Was your special attack really nothing?” Undyne asked looking a little angry.

“He never got me above 25 percent…” Sans answered solemnly.

“Wait really?! Dang. I was at 65 percent. How strong are you for someone with only 1HP?!”

“Eh… Too much trouble to figure out.” He pulled out a bottle of ketchup and drank it.

I found myself in the Void...Dang it! I lost again. Hopefully I got them close to one hundred percent.

I started searching for Hollow and found him in a few minutes.

"Greetings John. You've gotten stronger, but not strong enough for training.” Hollow said.

“I know. Dang those two are strong, but I'm faster than before now even without Void to help.”

“Maybe, but it's still not enough. I've been keeping track of the other survivors. They are getting stronger at a faster rate than you. Except for one though. You need to explore more worlds and fight stronger foes.”

“ I know, but I can't leave Equestria till I'm sure the others are fine. I don't want to leave and come back to over half of them dead.” I said.

“They can take care of themselves now. You basically got a platoon of Keybladers there training, and that's not counting the elite classes and the major keybladers like Vanitas and those two monsters.” Hollow said.

“Maybe you’re right. Where do I go though?” I asked

Hollow smirked a little...and now I'm afraid.

“How about that mirror in the Crystal Empire. That might lead somewhere interesting. Also if you run into a being called a Tenno, they are your allies.”

“You’re sure your names not Cript because that was a bit cryptic.”

“No, but I am training with him”

“What?”

"Nothing. Also I have something for you. To help against both light, darkness, and even a bit of Void.” Hollow said. Handing me what looks like a shoulder piece with a button on it. I put it on my left shoulder wondering what it is. He than hit the button causing me to be covered in armor of some kind.

"That is called, ‘Void’s Crowns Armor’. It's keyblade armor I made using a bit of the Void. My mark is in the center to distinguish you from other armors similar.”

“Woah. This is awesome. Thanks.” I said.

"Our time is up. We will speak later.”

Next thing I know I was waking up.

I woke up in my bed still in my gear from before. I than noticed the paldron on my shoulder. I than went to the war room and saw the others.

“Ok, I think the Guards are strong enough to help protect this place even if I'm not here. I'm going to leave for a little while to train. One of you is going with me as well. So, who wants to come?”

“ I will.” I saw Rose speak up.

“Ok, get ready. We are first heading to the Crystal Empire. Our way to this world is there. And yes Twilight you can come to see Shining and Cadence if you want.” I said. I saw Twilight smile brightly at this.

We leave in about thirty minutes. Meet me near the gate of the town.

With that I went to grab my gear. After I was ready I headed to the gate and waited for Roseluck. Both she and Gilda appeared followed by Twilight a few minutes later.

“Gilda, I'm leaving you and Vanitas in charge till we get back. Don't burn the place down ok.” I chuckled a little.

“Don't worry about it. We’ll be fine. Now go. I'll even look after Survivor for you.” Gilda said.

“Thanks. Ok you two, let's go.” With that we summoned our gilders and headed towards the Empire.

We reached the Crystal Empire an hour later. Twilight went to her brother to tell him what's been happening lately while me and Rose went to find the mirror. We found it after about an hour of searching.

“Ready?” I asked Roseluck.

“Ready!” She said.

With that we stepped through the Mirror.
