As Joy and Luxu walked the Void tainted reflection of John's Equestria, they walked up to the Absent Silhouette of Zeke. “So, think this thing gave itself an Update?” Luxu asked.

“Most likely all things considered.” Joy shrugged. “But let’s see how much it changed.”

“Something tells me this is gonna suck.” Luxu said as the two entered. Suddenly many people were lined along in rows. Ben himself too was here. As was Joy, and others. Those who beat Zeke's Silhouette and those who were now part of Zeke were challenges here. “Oh… well this is interesting.”

“A lot has changed since I was last here.” Joy said in surprise. “Like...literally none of this happened besides Zeke being here.”

“Well at least it changes with the guy. Wonder why though?” Luxu pondered, eyes falling upon a hooded figure. “Ha! Take that you rotten fucktard!” He yelled at the motionless figure.

“What?” Joy asked while seeing the hooded figure. “Wait...no Ben saw him when he tried to stop Kexez...your dad?”

“Yeah. He failed. Oh this is priceless. Started the first Keyblade war and everything to avoid this very thing, and he failed. Oh I am so happy that basterds planning all went down the crapper.”

“Yeah, that’s one hell of a way to be told fuck you.” Joy said. “So, who do you want to start with?” The young dire wolf asked.

“As much as I want to fight pops, I'd think fighting Ben would be… interesting.” Luxu said. “This Absent Silhouette should know everything Ben can do, things he doesn't know yet. We could learn a lot from it.”

“That would be interesting.” Joy said.

“Although… fighting a copy of you fully powered would help you out much more.” Luxu added.

“So who first, Ben or me?” Joy asked curiously.

“Hmm….. Ben. Will be a fun experience at least.”

“Ben it is then.” Joy said while walking over to Ben as he summoned Lindworm. “Alright, we choose you.” Joy said while poking Ben’s shoulder.

The two of them were suddenly standing atop Ben's station of Awakening. Ben appearing in a haze of Nothingness Thorns. They noticed this version of him had his crown atop his head, and wore a smaller version of the old King's armor. “Oh, well that's interesting.”

“Right then.” Joy said while he prepared Lindworm and his keyblade.

As Luxu brought out Lunatic, Ben charged, no weapon drawn as they simply summoned an aura of Nothingness out and began rapidly striking the two unarmed, knocking Joy down and putting Luxu on the defensive.

“Jeez, he’s fast.” Joy muttered while getting up quickly and dashing towards Ben, swinging one of his lances towards him while he was focused on Luxu.

With rapid, fluid motion Ben summoned his own wind, redirecting Lindworms Lance's at Luxu, nearly hitting the ancient Keyblade wielder. “Woah!” Luxu said, nearly falling backwards.

Ben took Luxu's moment of distraction, slashing at Joy with a whip of Nothingness thorns, wrapping it around Lindworm and Joy, mangling Joy's right arm and making a Lance from him that was sent back at him, piercing his left leg all the way through.

“Fuck!” Joy barked, grabbing the spear with his left arm and pulling it out, before turning into Master Form to heal his wounds. “Okay, this is some grade a bullshit.” Joy growled as he dashed swiftly towards Ben, using his lances to try and block or distract him as he swung his keyblade towards his opponent.

Luxu took an opportunity to Charge up Lunatic, activating Rage mode as the two charged Ben.

Ben sidestepped the Lance's, and grabbed both Joy's Keyblade and the charged Lunatic in each hand, taking both out of their hands and hitting both with their own weapons.

“Agh… anyone get the license plate on the train that hit me?” Luxu groaned as he came to consciousness. They were still Inside the Silhouette, but out in the selection hallway. “Fuck… took us out with one hit. Ben is holding back.”

“I have a feeling Ben...even the Silhouette was taking it easy cause...I know Ben, he could have done what he did a million other ways.” Joy said while rubbing his head. “Fuck, he’s a lot stronger than he gives himself credit for, could have kicked the shit out of Zeke the first time I went here honestly.”

“Yeah but that was then. What about...now?” The two looked over at Zeke's figure, standing at the backmost end of this hallway. “He is an Admin now… and Kingdom Hearts. What can he do now?”

“I mean...technically speaking before he was Kingdom Hearts in here. He had all the power without holding back.” Joy said honestly. “But want to try it out?”

“Is it wrong that I do?” Luxu asked, handing Joy a Mega potion while downing one himself.

Joy downed his mega potion as well, feeling a lot better. “Well then let’s get going.”

The two activated Zeke's fight. Upon entering they noticed Zeke's Station of Waking was different. Now it was an image of a massive many floating cities atop endless water. All connected by Bridges and cable cars.

Zeke appeared, attire a simple white shirt, pants and shoes. They opened their eyes, a glowing blue with a dark aura around them. “Oh. That's creepy.” Luxu said.

“Yes it is.” Joy said while summoning Lindworm and preparing for a fight.

Zeke summoned a Starlight, and in a flash was behind the two, Luxu managing to block the strike for both but was blown back by the impact. Joy struck at Zeke, who blocked with their arm the downward strike before backing up, shooting off several volleys of darkness and light at Joy. “Different or same?” Luxu asked as he got up. “Never fought this before so don't know.”

“This is a bit new.” Joy said while blocking the volleys with Lindworm. “But about the same to be perfectly honest all things considered.”

As Luxu was about to rush in, a Soldier heartless blocked him, getting a bit in. “Agh!” Luxu yelped, their cloak torn a bit along the chest. “Shit. These things were weaker in the realm of darkness!” He said, fighting the common but oddly strong heartless as Zeke jumped, a Demon Tide appearing alongside Keyblades, the two creating a swirling mass of Damage Zeke was riding around, and dealt attacks at Joy with.

“Okay…” Joy said while dodging and blocking the attacks as best he can. “Can you kindly fuck off with that nonsense please?”

Zeke jumped off the demon/Keyblade tide, Shadow heartless raining down with Keyblades, the two dodging and now dealing with many enemies.

“Okay so this is a bunch of new, like we’re supposed to fight Zeke, not literally everything else.” Joy frowned and this sudden turn of events.

As the two cleared out the heartless wave, Zeke came back out, raising a hand as all the still remaining Keyblades floated up, each gaining a copy of Zeke to wield them as Zeke themselves hid within the crowd of look alikes. “Okay now THAT is Bullshit!” Luxu yelled.

“So...why the fuck are we scared of bad guys again?” Joy asked, the fact Ben beat them both with his bare hands and Zeke can do this just makes it feel like literally nothing can stop them. “Like...really? Why are we even here at this point?” Joy asked while seeing the literal hundreds of Zeke clones. “So...you take the four hundred on the left, I’ll take the four hundred on the right.”

“They're not going to be as strong as him, so it's mostly just dealing with their numbers.” Luxu said. “Get behind me.” Luxu said, pushing Joy behind him as he raised Lunatic, it's Rage mode activating but it was different, glowing far brighter. “Moons Wrath!” Luxu shouted, slamming Lunatic Down as a massive blast of energy went outwards, the entire arena engulfed by it as the force of the impact blasted high speed winds in every direction.

When the effect ended all the clone Zeke's were gone, leaving the original protected by a Reflect spell.

“I mean...I was hoping for you to continue to reference but sure that was cool.” Joy said honestly.

Luxu didn't reply, but fell to his knees, grabbing his side. “Shit. The backlash was more than I expected.”

“Well looks like I’m gonna have to protect you while you recover.” Joy said while standing in front of Luxu knowing Zeke would want to attack right now.

Zeke lifted a hand up, the X-Blade appearing now as they swung it. For a second it seemed as if nothing transpired, but then a shockwave of energy blasted Luxu and Joy off the station of Awakening.

The two hit the ground at the selection hallway, still awake unlike with Ben. “Well, could have been worse…” Luxu said, downing another Mega Potion.

Joy also downed a mega potion. “Okay so that’s two out of a few dozen that we can’t beat so far...seriously the hell happened?”

“People change, this thing must change to reflect the changes to the people who beat someone in it.” Luxu said, sitting on the ground and looking at the slice to his cloak. “Shit…”

“Well I’m sure Rarity or Coco wouldn’t mind patching that up.” Joy said honestly.

“No…” Luxu said with a sigh. “I've worn this very cloak since before I even Met the Foretellers. It's stitches and magic are both long forgotten arts. No one alive today can repair this cloak.”

“You do know Zeke is literally Kingdom Hearts right? We can ask him for help.” Joy said. “And technically your old man is still alive so he might know as well.”

“Do you want me to kill you? Never will I ask that piece of garbage for help.” Luxu said, standing up. “Besides, he's not even really my dad.”

“Then what the fuck.” Joy frowned. “You said he was multiple times.”

“In title, maybe. He made me anyway.”

“Well better start explaining then.” Joy said honestly.

Luxu took a breath. “You'd know me better by this. I'm a Replica.” Luxu stated. “Made from his memories of himself at youth given a physical form. The day I woke up he told me I was the only one he could truly trust, because he trusts no one but himself.”

“Well...that’s a thing.” Joy said honestly. “Oh um...question, given that we have Kingdom Hearts 3...should I even bother questioning those parts?”

“Had you and the others never arrived to this reality that would be the path I would have walked, you arrived and changed history, the future he saw now altered, so the past changed to adapt to the changed future.”

“Alrighty then.” Joy said honestly. “Sounds about right...I mean, we were ten or so years behind the start of the KH1 right?” He asked, remembering that Terranort was still Ansem’s apprentice so it had to be a long time ago for them.

“Time wise yes.”

“Alright.” Joy nodded. “Time is weird.”

“It's not as many as you think it is.”

“What?” Joy asked curiously, wondering what he meant by that.

“People refer to time as a flow, like a river or stream. In fact it's more like a layered object, like pages in a closed book, the words can change easily and traversing the pages, to past and future, can be done in several ways. The easiest is by sending one's heart back. When traversing the past you keep your memories from there as it's events that have already happened. When traversing the future, the experiences and memories are kept in the future, upon returning to your point in time, it's a natural prohibitory of paradoxes.” Luxu said, standing up. “At least, that's how it works for our realm. So, who next?”

“Alrighty then…” Joy said. “Um...who do you want to go against now? Cause so far this has been nothing but a shitshow really.”

“Hmm… How about… dear old 'dad’.” Luxu motioned to the hooded silhouette of his maker. “I know all his moves. We can use that to our advantage.”

“Would be fun to actually fight someone that won’t one shot us.” Joy said honestly.

“We'll see.” Luxu said.

Upon entering the next arena the two stood atop a station of Awakening that displayed only the blue eye of the Gazing Eye. “Him and that damned eye of his.” Luxu huffed.

“How the hell is his eye still working after all these years and him losing his entire body?” Joy asked honestly. “Magic only goes so far when keeping an eye from just turning to dust.”

“It's more like he linked the Gazing Eye Keyblade to himself. That Keyblade is the reason after losing his body and heart, he still lingered. It's an anchor for him, now that he is back fully and pretty much immortal now all it does it send him what it sees in the future.”

“Oh boy, I wonder if he’ll say something bad about the future during our fight.” Joy said honestly, knowing these enemies don’t actually talk but it would be funny to hear some future sight crap from him.

“Likely.” Luxu said, The Master of Masters appearing, no weapon drawn.

Joy summoned Lindworm and prepared to fight. “Again with the starting off with no weapons huh?” Joy brought up, wondering if it’ll be a Ben thing all over again.

Snapping his fingers, The Master of Masters summoned forth the Foretellers Keyblades, each floating around him, then The Gazing Eye in his right hand. Luxu was gritting his teeth. “Don't you dare use those Keyblades!” He roared, summoning Lunatic and activating Rage Mode.

“Well...this isn’t gonna be pretty…” Joy said nervously as he kneeled down and vanished, sending his lances down towards his opponents from up high.

The floating Keyblades deflected the Lance's, and Luxu crossed weapons with the Silhouette of his maker, neither getting a hit in as they blocked or evaded strikes. Joy created a barrier of wind, using it offensively as he rushed the Master, the floating Keyblades getting deflected as they managed to hit him.

Joy grabbed one of his Lances and when he got close enough he tried to stab one of the Master’s legs, trying to at least slow him down and let Luxu get in some clean hits.

He managed to stab his left foot, the action gave Luxu three clean hits in before he backed up, floating high above them as the Foretellers Keyblades all formed a circle around him and began lighting up. “Joy, toss me up there!”

Joy pointed a lance underneath Luxu, the ancient keyblade wielder feeling a build up of wind before it rocketed him up towards the Foretellers Keyblades. Luxu soared up towards his maker and former maser, activating Rage form, but Joy noticed this one held a red tinge to it. “Moons Sorrow.” Luxu said, the impact nearly blasted Joy off the arena, only stable by a lance or three embedded in the ground behind him for stability. When the force of the impact was done Luxu had Jumped back to Joy’s side and The Master of Masters was seemingly unconscious.

“Scan.” Joy blinked, his eyes glowing gently as he tried to see how much health the bastard had.

The Master of Masters only had one bar, but it was very low now. A few more clean hits can end this.

Joy didn’t want to know what phase thing he could do, or what final attack he could do as Joy made sure to turn the ‘unconscious’ enemy into a pincushion before fully getting up. “Don’t care, your not getting up ya old fuck.”

Luxu and Joy rushed the unconscious person, ready to land the final hit. The Master of Masters reacting at the last second, casting Reflect Just before Impact. Luxu noticed, and pulled Joy and himself out of the way before the spell returned the damage.

“Well the cheeky bastard still has some fight in him huh?” Joy growled.

“He never stops fighting.” Luxu growled. Activating Lunatic’s Rage form again. “I got one more of that attack in me. Give me an opening.”

“Alright.” Joy said before just immediately using on of his Signature move. “Ouranos Fall.” Joy said while the Master of Masters suddenly felt like an entire Earth’s atmosphere was condensed down onto him, forcing him into his knees as he bared the burden. “Five point five quintillion tons is holding him down, end it!” Joy said, there being some strain in his voice as the attack was pretty powerful.

Another red ting covered Lunatic as Luxu rushed in, Keyblades trying to deflect the incoming hit, but Luxu seemingly warped behind him, slapping Lunatic on the Master of Masters back.

After the force of the impact faded again, they saw thirteen chests before them, and slowly descending above, a Dancing Number 1 Organization 13 Mushroom Heartless. “That...is… so worth it.” Luxu said, chuckling as the little guy floated down towards them.

“Hey little guy, how you doin?” Joy asked the Mushroom.

Once the Mushroom hit the ground they clapped at the two, doing a backflip, vanishing back into Darkness and leaving behind a MASSIVE chest. Luxu whistled. “Woah. Never seen a chest this big.”

“I have, and so did Ben and we got so much crap from it.” Joy said honestly. “So, start with the small chests or the big one?”

“Hmm. Small. Save the big one for last.” Luxu said, the two opening the first chest. Inside was Two Keychains. One was Braveheart, Joy recognizing it from KH3, the other was a Keyblade that Joy had never seen before. It's blade looked like gears climbing to a clock, it's hour and minute hand formed the teeth, it's grip and handguard was were a series of stop watches. “Holy shit.” Luxu said, taking it. “It's back.”

“What’s back?” Joy asked curiously.

“My first Keyblade. An early prototype of the No Name Keyblades. Time Flow.” Luxu said, feeling the blade. “When he gave me the Gazing Eye, he said this would be destroyed… it's the only one of its kind.”

“Well this place is magic.” Joy said. “I was told Lake, Zeke’s light half, was killed off a while ago...and then Ben came here and beat it and got Lake back somehow.” Joy shrugged. “So super magic can bring things back apparently.”

Luxu placed Time Flow down, summoning Gazing Eye. “I have my Keyblade back. So I won't need this anymore.” Luxu said, throwing Gazing Eye off the arena's edge, and into the abyss below. “Good riddance.” He said, picking Time Flow back up.

“Right then.” Joy said while taking Braveheart and opening up another chest. “What’s in chest number two?”

The second chest held… a cell phone? “A gummi phone?” Luxu asked. “Huh, a newer model too.”

“Cause that’s what we need, a phone.” Joy said. “Still find it a little stupid that in KH3 they have freaking Twitter…”

Chest number three had materials to upgrade Keyblades, chest four had ten thousand Rem, which Joy and Luxu split. Number five held upgrades for both Lunatic and Lindworm. Lunatic now able to create three are impact rings from one hit, and Lindworm now able to send air bullets from each Lance tip at will.

“Cool.” Joy said honestly. “This is gonna be nifty.” Joy said while opening up the sixth chest.

Inside the sixth chest was a note, it's words being translated by his Assistant so he can read it.

Beware your Traitor.

“Well that’s not ominous.” Joy said. “Wonder why this is a thing…”

“Is this telling us one of the council is a traitor?” Luxu warned. “If that's true then… who are they working for? I doubt Spoiled. After Trixie was captured we beefed security and perform weekly memory scans on us all.”

“I’ve heard Nexus is supposed to be a big bad organization from Cript and Ben, but so far they have literally done fuck all and don’t seem that scary.” Joy said. “But we’re going to keep them in mind cause they are basically Nazi’s so maybe Nexus?”

“I’ve crossed paths with them before twice. First was when they were harvesting a world of all it's resources. This was back when I just lost my body, so I could fight them. Second was when a scout was exploring the Realm of Darkness, if it wasn't for a Demon Tide showing up they'd have escaped with a page from the book of Prophecies I found after the Keyblade war. Thankfully when it showed up they dropped it while running.”

“Alrighty then, so just standard bad guy stuff.” Joy said.

“From what I do know it's their ability to buy people's trust. They can be your childhood friend and you'd never know it til they want you to know. From what I gather it's not uncommon for them to recruit infants after birth and over the years slowly mold them into their little loyal puppets. They take their time and gather data before acting. They are extremely patient.”

“And yet their leader was killed off offscreen from what Ben was told.” Joy said honestly. “Cript did it cause who would have fucking guessed, but still that doesn’t really ‘bode well’ for their track record.” Joy said honestly, knowing he shouldn’t underestimate them but considering what he’s seen, done, and what Ben can easily do it kind of diminishes their ‘fear factor’.

“Well the scout I ran into was easily able to keep up with me, and I have thousands of years worth of combat experience and training, ancient knowledge and long lost Keyblade arts, and that guy kept up with it all. They avoid conflict but when they need to they can apparently stand their ground when needed.”

“I mean, from what Cript said they basically churn out Psychopaths like it’s going out of style...which to be perfectly honest it kinda did a while ago.” Joy said. “We haven’t even fought any of those bastards in a while but...they’re not that scary anymore to be perfectly honest.”

“You ever kill one?” Luxu asked. “Don't underestimate an enemy just because another can deal with them easily. That's like saying the Lingering Will fight in KH2 is easy because you saw a guy on the internet beat in on a LV1 critical mode run without taking damage.”

“I mean...I beat Zeke without the fucker holding back because of this crap.” Joy brought up. “So by pomp and circumstances yes, yes I have.”

“You did but now as you saw it's changed, because Zeke changed. Each loss means your enemy changes, perfects their tactics. And we both got one shot by Zeke just a bit ago. The more someone losses, the stronger they get for the rematches.”

“This is just gonna go in circles at this point I can tell.” Joy said honestly while going to the next chest.

“That's our different perspectives I guess. Let's check the next chests then.” Chest number seven held some, oddly enough, Japan sodas, eight had a book. All but one page containing seven words were blank. “May your heart be your guiding key.” Luxu read allowed. “ Why only write seven words in a book this large?”

“Well first up why does it say that specifically?” Joy brought up. “Like...oddly specific it would have words in it from your time.”

“It’s older than Daybreak. When Kingdom Hearts, and this is legends long forgotten, gave people Keyblades, and the X-Blade, it spoke these words. They date back to the birth of the first Keyblades, and X itself. They hold a lot of meaning.”

“So then why the hell would a book have those words in it if that’s the case?” Joy questioned. “Does the book have any identifiers?”

“Not really. All dull brown, no noticeable title… hmm. I wonder…” Luxu placed the book down, raising his Keyblade and as the tip glowed a Keyhole appeared on the cover of the book. “It is!” He said, shutting it down. “It's a Datascape.”

“Oh boy, I wonder where it leads?” Joy said. “But first, the other chests.”

Chest nine was a Book of different Shotlocks, ten was synthesis materials, eleven was an Ultima weapon Luxu let Joy have, and Twelve was a Moogle charm. “Hey, I remember these. If you get knocked out they wake you up immediately.”

“Cool.” Joy said with a nod. “Now, onto the big one.”

The two walked up to the massive chest. Upon opening it, nothing seemed to jump out. The two looked at one another then Luxu jumped up to look inside. When he looked inside he immediately fell off, landing on his ass and backing up in fear. “No, no, no.” He said, hyperventilating.

“It can’t be that scary.” Joy said while floating up to look inside the chest. Joy now understood Luxu's fear. The Void Key Keyblade was in the chest. “Excuse me how the fuck!?” Joy asked in fear.

“It can't be here. No, bad dream.” Luxu said, gripping his head. “It should have been destroyed with Daybreak. I checked myself, it was shattered.”

“This place doesn’t give a rats ass what happened in our world...either this place, or the Mushroom’s are so strong to just make brand new ones out of thin air…” Joy said worriedly.

“Why bring that thing back?!”

“Well...let’s see if there’s a note here…” Joy said while floating down to the Keyblade and checking to see if there was a note. “Also...maybe we might hear the thing talk which is a scary thought…” There was no note, but Joy did try to see if this Keyblade had some kind of mind to speak with. “Hello? Anyone in there?” Joy asked while focusing hard to hear the voice of the Keyblade.

Show...me… A low, disturbed voice spoke, sending chills down Joy's back and making his fur stand on end.

“Show you what?” Joy asked, having a very bad feeling about this.

Show me… a Keyblade…

“You won’t try to kill it will you?” Joy asked.

I need...to kill. I exist, to slaughter. I will end… every Keyblade, and shatter… the X-Blade.

“No.” Joy frowned. “Cause guess what numbnuts, that’s not your calling anymore.”

Pittifull statement, you believing I actually listen to the one who wields me. Quite the opposite.

“I mean, if you say so.” Joy said while the Keyblade felt Nothingness creep onto it’s blade. “Nothingness is the Antithesis to Void, and I’ve gotten pretty good at countering it. So, would you like to change your tune or will I have to make it bad for you?”

Hehehe. A chain put onto a wild animal only works for so long, young pup. After all, I've been returned to life to find the one who will wield me truly. I can sense they and you have crossed paths once, I doubt you even realized.

“Chains?” Joy asked, the Keyblade feeling the thorns start to dig into it. “Who said anything about chaining? Your too dangerous for anyone to use, so maybe I should just shatter you before you can find your wielder and stab us all in the back.” Joy growled.

Hehehehehe. Hahahahaha! Damage me, yes. Shatter me? You nore your King can pull that off. Besides, I can feel the one that will wield me, and give me what I ask for. Guess that note was right after all, you do have a traitor in your castle.

“Who is it?” Joy growled. “And you don’t understand a single thing either me, or Ben can do. And believe me, if Ben was here he’d have done more than just ‘shatter’.” Joy said, knowing full well Ben is an Admin and was strong enough to do just that.

I've enjoyed this little conversation, but I'm afraid it has come to its conclusion. I won't tell you who your traitors are, but I'll let you know a clue. It's the people you'd expect the least. Hahahaha! Void Key laughed, vanishing from Joy's grip in a haze of void.

“Dumb fuck doesn’t even know Ben would find him and the traitor rather quickly.” Joy said honestly as he flew out of the chest.

“You didn't pay close attention.” Luxu said, still on the ground, grabbing his head. “He said Traitors. Plural… we have more than one. Even if we find him and the one… we have stars know how many more…”

“Ben’s gonna fucking flip...wait no, he’s already flipping the fuck out.” Joy said, thankful for their mental connection sometimes as Ben’s hundreds of thousands of clones at this point were now on a hunt for whoever the fuck were the traitors. “Sometimes forget he has his own personal army of himself sometimes.” Joy brought up.

“Joy, if we are dealing with Nexus, then we aren't going to find them.” Luxu said, finally standing up. “Like smart rats they know how to hide, in shadows and in plain sight.”

“Nexus agent’s, as far as I remember from when Ben went to an old world of Cripts, is that all Nexus agents have a small blue dot on their hand. Now sure they can probably hide it and it would be dumb if they didn’t but...well Ben’s an Admin, and given Ben knows there are traitors he can ask Cript how else to find Nexus agents.” Joy said honestly. “Nexus maybe formidable against unprepared forces, but when you have them faced off against prepared people who know what they can do in some way shape or form...they’re not that scary.” Joy said. “Cript made them sound like they are a super strong thing, I-” Joy was suddenly cut off as he fell to his knees and shouted in pain. “Gah! Fuck what the hell!?!” He shouted as he felt someone in his head.

”I’ll make this right... Joy heard someone mentally say before the voice and feeling suddenly vanished just as quickly as it came.

“Joy!” Luxu said, rushing beside the pup. “What's wrong?!”

“Well...don’t know who but someone said ‘I’ll make this right’...” Joy said while shaking his head. “Fuck...now I want chocolate milk for some reason…”

“Personal experience tells me when someone says they will make something right, they don't actually have good intentions.” Luxi said, helping the pup up. “Let's get out of here. I'm dropping you off at the infirmary, and then I'll talk with the others about this Traitor, possibly traitors.”

“How much you want to bet one of them is Grael?” Joy asked while putting a hand to his head. “But...the voice...sounded pretty sad.”

“I didn't hear a thing.” Luxu said. “Wonder why you heard it only?”

“There’s only one person I share a mental connection like that…” Joy said slowly. “But...I don’t know. But again, have any good obvious guesses as to who might be the traitors?”

“Like I said, they could be people we know and trust wholeheartedly. In all honesty though I doubt it's one of the council.”

“Let’s hope that’s true.” Joy said. “But Ben would have already done the obvious of hunting down anyone with a blue dot on their hand, Nexus probably wouldn’t know Ben has that knowledge.”

“If they know he and Cript are now family then they might. Plus, they have some minor manipulation of Code, hiding said mark would be simple I imagine. Like disbanding and summoning a Keyblade.”

“Ben is is a little weird with his paranoia. He either believes nothing’s wrong when other people are around...or at the moment he’s making every little detail the biggest thing in the world.” Joy brought up. “So it’s going to be a pain for whoever Nexus is having hide in our place to actively hide.”

“Whatever the case, something tells me something worse is still coming.”

“Yeah...something much worse.” Joy said worriedly, still not knowing who that voice was when only him and Ben shared that kind of mental link.
