Chapter I
It has been 1 month since Sora left for the dream worlds and 2 weeks since Kairi has begun her training to wield the Keyblade. But little did they know was that a stranger has appeared in Yen Sid's study.
"Master Yen Sid it has certainly been a long time since either of us has spoken to each other. And I already have noticed the presence of two Keyblade wielders so there is no need to tell me what to do." Said the mysterious Stranger
"hmm, Your abilities never ceases to amaze me Master Anax, but do tell me where is your light, I know you wish to keep a balance in your selves but all I sense is darkness, and that is troublesome.." Question Master Yen Sid
"* Sigh* It Is Because Master Yen Sid, Anax is dead and I'm all that remains of him. His darkness (puts his hand on his chest) Xana is my name Master Yen Sid, and with your permission I would like to borrow all three of your apprentices to help recover my light and train them to be "real" Keyblade masters. No offense Master Yen Sid." Master Xana explained more cheerfully, hoping for Yen Sid to comply.
Yen Sid then closes his eyes and said "Very well Master Xana if that is your wish then permission granted but my third Apprentice, Sora is in the Dream world, so you will have to retrieve him yourself. I will tell Flora to retrieve Master Riku and Kairi from the Basement of the Tower."
Master Xana's right eye twitch's from under his hood 'Wait this Tower has a basement this whole time and even I didn't know about it'. "Alright Master Yen Sid I'll get Sora and have my Gummi Ship prepared and ready for take off at the same time, bye." Master Xana said more happily and disappeared, but before he did he said.
"But be warned. For a long time something has felt off so you should be cautious Yen Sid. for I fear there may be a great danger or a warning."
In the Dream world
Sora is running away from a hoard of "Nightmare" Dream eaters with his two "Spirit" Dream eater allies but found themselves in a dead-end.
" Aw, c'mon, can't a guy catch a break, I mean I've defeated thousands of you, or was it hundreds, never-mind." yelled a familiar brown haired boy getting ready to face the onslaught of his enemies.
Then Sora sensed something but didn't get to react as he heard this.
"Kid stand back and LET ME HANDLE THIS!" Yelled the stranger as he jumped down and summoned a Keyblade
this Keyblade had two magic like stars on the bottom of the guard and two regular stars at the top but have cracks on them, the shaft of the Keyblade has a wider shaft and is cube like with cracks and a few pieces of it missing revealing black parts, the skeleton key parts is a more opened up magic star but has pieces missing and cracks on it as well.
"Your a Keyblade wielder to mister" The spiked boy said surprised at his sudden appearance, even showing to stop the "Nightmare" Dream eaters dead in their tracks.
" I'm a Keyblade Master Sora and the names Xana. Master Xana, The Energy Dragonion Knight!" Yelled the master of Darkness as he raises his Keyblade creating a dark aura.
"Energy Dragonion Knights: Sword Strike!" Yelled Master Xana as his Keyblade is covered in a black like energy which Master Xana made a wide horizontal slash sending the black energy at the "Nightmare" Dream Eaters, destroying them all and a bunch of the landscape
When Master Xana dismissed his Keyblade he turned around and saw Sora staring at what had just happened and summoned his Keyblade ready to fight.
"*Sigh*'He sure doesn't look like the 'Chosen One' Listen Sora, my old friend, Master Yen Sid wants you back at the Mysterious tower for a special mission and there is a surprise as well." Master Xana said scratching the back of his head which is covered by a hood.
"Oh ya, why should I listen to you, you look like one of the real Organization XIII members, and I sense darkness in your heart!" Yelled Sora who seemed angry with a hint of fear in it.
'Talk about harsh with a capital H' "Listen Sora I'm the good guy, just because I have only darkness in me doesn't mean I'm evil and you saw what I did to those creatures, so don't get on my bad side. But if you come without thinking I'm evil cause I CAN READ YOUR MIND SO DON'T EVEN THINK YOU CAN FIGHT ME, I'll tell you what the surprise is." Master Xana said after the stereotypical comment Sora said and thought.
"Alright mister I'll come if you tell me what the surprise is." Sora said dismissing his Keyblade and his allies.
"Just call me Master Xana, oh and Kairi is coming along as well, Yen Sid's idea not mine. 'And here comes the yelling and adult language'." Master Xana said quickly while waiting for Sora's spaz attack
in...3...2...1... NOW!
"You're telling me, Kairi is coming along after I spent 2 whole Fu-"
Back at The Mysterious Tower during Sora's yelling
Two Keyblade wielders are fighting in the basement
"Kairi, you're putting too much force in the strike, remember to put equal amounts of force in your shoulders as well for fast and strong hits." Said the calm silver haired boy blocking another strike and pushed back knocking the redheaded girl back.
"w-whoa, OK 'Master' Riku *giggle*" Kairi said as she will never drop the master act on Riku
"Ha ha , y'know you can just call me Riku instead of the whole master Riku alright" Riku sarcastically said
"But I wanna call you that, and I'm not gonna drop it 'Master' Riku." Kairi said pouting
All of a sudden Flora appeared without warning starting the two and made Kairi yelped.
Flora then realized that she startled them and says. "Oh, I'm sorry if I startled you dear, but Master Yen Sid has requested both of you to meet him in his study." As soon as Flora said that. She and Riku started talking on what the assignment is.
Kairi was wondering what is going on, but to her dismay, Riku nor Flora won't tell her. "'Master' Riku why won't you tell me." Whined Kairi.
"You'll know once, we get to Master Yen Sid's study, and can you please stop calling me 'Master' Riku."
"How come Flora, Fauna, Merryweather, and Master Yen Sid get to call you Master." Kairi continuing to whine
"Because it's out of respect Kairi my-, huh" Riku then suddenly stopped without warning to hear the conversations. he recognizes two of those voices, but one sounds inhuman and distorted.
'the third one isn't familiar but this should be really priceless'
When Kairi heard this she pushed Riku out of the way and ran.
In Yen Sid's study
"hmm, Master Xana. why do have a Camcorder here." Master Yen Sid ask questioning why Master Xana has a Camcorder. "Y'know I want to know why you have it here any way?" Sora now confused as well.
"You'll find out in 5 seconds *chuckles*"
"Wait what do you mean 5 seconds"
"Sora!"
Kairi suddenly barged in the room and tackled Sora onto the ground hugging the life out of him literally I think.
As the life out of Sora is being crushed he said "H-hey get of- huh. Kairi! It's great to see you again." Sora exclaimed as he returned the hug while losing his life in the process
"*chuckles*"
"Wait, please don't tell me you had that out to capture that." Sora said blushing along with Kairi (luckily her hair covered the blush.)
"truthfully I knew that was going to happen and Master Riku knew that a moment like this was priceless soo. Ya I pretty much had the Camcorder to do that. hahaha" Laughed Maser Xana as he hid the device somewhere, so Sora can't delete that moment.
"But it is nice to meet you Kairi, Princess of Heart.(bow down)" Master Xana says in a gentlemanly manner.
" Oh please I'm still not used to being called 'Princess', so just call me Kairi, but How do you know me and 'Master' Riku's names."
" Because I know very powerful and ancient Magic. Actually I know every single magic spell, incantation, curses, forbidden arts, and secret arts in the universe. and plus I have the power to look into people's memories, and read their thoughts." Master Xana says nonchalant, surprising everyone and master Yen Sid for the second time. (first time was when Lea (Axel) got his Keyblade.).
"Just kidding, I know a lot of stuff, but not all, and also, I asked Merryweather on my way out." Xana said nonchalantly again making everyone Face Faulted
"But the real reason I'm here is because I need help reviving my Light half."
" Light half I thought you were just born of pure darkness and -"
" Say that next part Riku, and I'll make sure no one remember who you even are BECAUSE THERE WILL BE NOTHING LEFT BUT THE BLOOD SPLATTERED ALL OVER THE PLACE!" When Master Xana yelled, that this caused everyone except Master Yen Sid to back away slowly from the Dark aura surrounding Master Xana, but quickly dissipated.
" Just please. If I don't bring my light back within the next nine months, I'll die and there will be no one left powerful enough to stop an ancient enemy." Master Xana now starting to beg for the trios help
"Alright I'll help, but what about our training. Master Yen Sid?" Kairi asked
"Do not worry, Kairi. Master Xana here is a Keyblade Master who has lived longer than the Keyblade War itself."
'Wait for it'
"WHA~AT!?"
"And he will teach you how to wield the Keyblade better than what I can do in this time and age."
"It is true. but if only I had been there, then I could have stopped the war and prevent many casualties." Master Xana then gets up with his head looking at ground from not stopping the war. "But I must not let the past affect my abilities. The three of you get all of your belongings, Key-chains and any personal belongings to remind you of home. We leave in 2 hours."
"YES, SIR!" All three of the teens exclaimed as they ran out of the study to get their belongings and talking.
"Y'know Master Yen Sid those kids, remind me of Anax, Ekato, and Bell. When they went on their adventure, they are exactly like them." Master Xana then puts his hands inside his pockets and got out a book. "This is The Lexicon's journal, it contains everything from his past adventures, but all the recordings from before and during the Keyblade war are a blank so it is unknown, what had happened at that time." He then puts it on Master Yen Sid's table and vanished in thin air once he turned around facing the door.
"I wonder why there is an incantation on this book, hiding the real writing. Master Xana, did you want to hide something or did you fail to notice this high level incantation. If you fail then it not only proves you're dying but weakening as well."
Sora's POV
'I Can't believe we're going on another adventure. But that man- I mean Master Xana is suspicious,'
Whoa dude, calm down. Sure he is hiding something, but he did beg for our help to recover this light of his, and who knows, he might tell us how did he live through the Keyblade War, why will he die after nine months, andwhat the hell did he mean, "no one left to stop an ancient enemy"!
'Roxas calm down, and here you told me to calm when you were the one that just yelled. You know what, I'll just go get my things and go outside.'
Ya and what about the thing I told you to do on that certain day, hmmm
"Grk." why does he have to remind me about that, damn Roxas, he'll be the death of me someday, but I better get my stuff.
"Sora, you ok." Kairi asked
"huh, oh ya Kairi, Roxas was just getting on my nerves." Sora said letting out a nervous laugh and cursing at Roxas for reminding him.
"Well, looks like I'm in the same situation as well, except for getting on my nerves."
"what do you mea-"
"Sora, if you and Kairi are going to keep talking, you might as will go with nothing, because we past your room a minute ago."
"oh shoot, gotta go and get my stuff. see ya outside." and with that Sora ran to his room and closed it.
"man This is going to be a really fun adventure. Now to get all my things."
Wow. you're actually cleaning this room, I havta take a photo of this.
"No you don't Roxas"
RIKU'S POV
'Man, another adventure but this time with both my best friends, and Sora is talking to Roxas again and skipped his room. And there is going to be a real master teaching us, no offense to Master Yen Sid though'
'None taken, young Master Riku.'
that freaked Riku out when Master Yen Sid could spoke in his head, meaning that Master Xana is telling the truth.
'And Sora is going keep talking *sigh*'
"Sora if you and Kairi keep talking, you might as well go with nothing, because we past your room a minute ago."
"oh shoot, gotta go and get my stuff. see ya outside." Now Sora turned around and ran to his room leaving Riku alone as Kairi went into her room to her stuff after saying bye.
Now Riku went downstairs to his room but encounters Master Xana.
"what do you want Master Xana."
"I came to tell you why my voice sounds distorted Riku." says the distorted voice of Xana
"and that would be."
"you are afraid. afraid that the darkness deep within your heart, will come back and make you hurt those who are closest to you and around you, isn't it Riku." Master Xana, said acting wise
This shocked Riku as he wanted to know how he knew.
"Like I said Riku, I can look into your memories and read your thoughts, oh and I can't believe Sora and Kairi are oblivious about their feelings to each other." Says Master Xana as he turned around disappeared leaving Riku to consider this guy a stalker
'Don't even think about it Riku, I can also speak into your mind like I showed Master Yen Sid.'
Yet again this Shocked Riku, so he decided not to think about it and went to his room to pack which was not much.
'And a word of advice, me training you will make Yen Sid's mark of mastery look like writing your name.'
KAIRI'S POV
'Oh my gosh I'm finally able to go on a real adventure Naminé and this time with Sora' Kairi mentally squealed in complete excitement
Whoa Kairi calm yourself. This excites me as much you do but you should keep it down a notch.
'why should I Nam.' Kairi mentally pouted
Either that, or I will tell him by going into his mind isn't that right Master Xana
'wait, WHAT!'
'Grk, OK you caught me Naminé but don't scream Kairi.'
'Why should I listen to you, you're intruding my mind.'
'there is something awfully familiar about your presence so I had to thoroughly search your memories Kairi if encase I ha- HoLy ! #$ #%#$^ %^#* &%... Sorry for cursing, but I'll tell you why that just happened when it is necessary, talk to Sora, there's something bothering him? Chaio.' And with that, Master Xana left Kairi's mind
'...'
... OOOK, that was kinda creepy, but you should listen to him, there is something bothering Sora. Naminé pointed out
'ok'
"Sora, you OK?" Kairi asked in curiosity
"huh, oh ya Kairi, Roxas was just getting on my nerves." Sora said letting out a nervous laugh, which made Kairi more suspicious.
"Well, looks like I'm in the same situation as well, except for getting on my nerves." Kairi said as well apologizing to Naminé
"what do you mea-"
"Sora, if you and Kairi are going to keep talking, you might as will go with nothing, because we past your room a minute ago." Riku said finally speaking up
"oh shoot, gotta go and get my stuff. see ya outside." and with that Sora ran to his room.
"What will we ever do with that lazy bum, Riku." Kairi said
"I don't know but I gotta pack my stuff. So see ya outside Kairi."
"Ok Riku." And with that Kairi went to her room and started packing her stuff until she finds a mysterious hand made charm shaped like a phoenix.
"What's this." Kairi said lifting the charm up which glowed in the dark revealing a faint red glow.
I don't know maybe Master Xana might know if we showed him. Naminé suggested.
"Yeah maybe you're right Nam."
NORMAL POV
Outside the Mysterious Tower
A gummi ship is hovering outside the Mysterious Tower as Master Xana appeared out of thin air and walked to the gummi ship until heard foot steps. Xana turned around and summoned his Keyblade to strike whoever it is, but his Keyblade was met by another. The Keyblade that met his, has a scythe like blade pointing downwards as the teeth, the shaft is pure black and is long. the guard is the same as the teeth except more circular, the bottom of the shaft has a funny looking skull (see the grim reapers mask in soul eater.)
"Oh it's only you Ekato. Just what is the Chronicler doing here, because I'm busy." Xana says as he dismissed his Keyblade.
"yeah I can see, Xana but there is some news I brought." Ekato said without emotion until he smirked
"And what would be so important tha-"
"Astrids hunting you down" Ekato said interrupting
and as on que, Sora Riku, and Kairi appeared to have a confused look on their faces but was soon answered by Master Xana screaming "Astrid is hunting me down! Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, oh crap, holySHIT! Good you three get on the ship and fast we leave now, thanks for the warning Ekato." Just as Master Xana teleported their stuff, Ekato interrupted him by yelling "Xana!"
"That is not entirely why I came."
"I came to tell you that Bell is still alive." that news shocked Xana.
