Hey everyone, well here we are right at the second installment (arc) of Kingdom Hearts: Generations. Sora along with Riku, Kairi, and Baransu will be entering through the world of Fairy Tail; to be honest with myself I never liked this anime at first until I begin watching it with my little sister and changed my whole point of view. This arc known as The Keyblade Mages will be taking place during the Tower of Heaven Arc from Fairy Tail. This story will explain more of the Twenty-Six Keys and the Organization along with their "new found power". Just to clarify, I don't own anything Kingdom Hearts related or Fairy Tail except for my OC Baransu along with a few new Heartless and Nobodies. Enjoy!

Volume II: The Dragon's Internal Flame
Chapter IX: Lady Luck
Sora, Riku, Kairi, and Baransu had been traveling through the realms for several hours now trying to figure out which world are they heading towards first.
Sora: (staring out the window) Man, how long till we get to our destination?
Baransu: Beats me, besides the only thing we know we are there unless there's large amount of light surrounding this train which would shortly later clear away showing us the world we needed to be in.
Kairi: (points to the window) Like that?
Outside the train, light is already started to consume the vehicle and now in a brand new world just waiting for them.
Baransu: Yeah, like that.
As they got out they found themselves in a train station with multiple passengers getting in and out of the express lines.
Riku: So, where do you think we are Baransu?
Baransu: Let me get the Keyblader's Journal and find out. (got the book out and examined it carefully) Nope there's still nothing in here yet.
Just as he was putting away the book back into his bag, they hear the sound of small metal falling from a machine upstairs.
Kairi: What was that?
Sora: It sounded like a slot machine. I think there's a casino above us.
Riku: We don't know just yet Sora, we got to ask someone about this place first.
Sora: Good idea, we'll split up and come back here in five minutes.
Everyone went to different directions trying to ask random people where they are and what kind of thing does this world have. After five minutes were over, they went back to where they were before ready to give answers to each other.
Sora: Did anyone got anything?
Riku: Sorry, I got nothing.
Kairi: Same here.
Sora: What about you Baransu?
Baransu: I almost got something but got pushed by a large crowd. (relaxing his shoulders) We'll never get anything if we stay here.
Riku: What are you saying?
Baransu: I saying the only way we can get some answers (took out a playing card from his shirt) is to play for them.
Kairi: But we can't go up there to the casino, we're not old enough.
Baransu: Oh really. (points to a group walking upwards to the casino) Take that group for example, those people may looker but they might be around our age. Look at us, we look like we're eighteen to nineteen years; we can pass ourselves out as young adults.
Sora: Hey he's right, as long we can try to act like adults we won't get caught by anybody.
Riku: Well what are we waiting for, let's go already; the more answers the better.
Everyone ran up the stairs and now found themselves standing in the most beautiful casino they had ever seen in their lives.
Sora: (noticed Baransu taking off his gloves) (curious) Why are you...
Baransu: (putting gloves away in his pockets) It'll be best to play with only your own hands instead of something that is covering them, if I were you I would probably do the same.
Everyone did what Baransu had said and removed their gloves even Kairi removed her bell-sleeves.
Riku: Alright since that's now out of the way, we'll start looking for answers by playing a few rounds, if we can't get anything in particular I don't know what we'll do.
Kairi: Don't forget we have the Keyblader's Journal, that's not a total loss.
Sora: Right we'll meet right back here in two hours top.
Everyone scattered to find answers hoping to find one that is good and understanding. Sora was only wandering for ten minutes trying to find which game should he play. Then he noticed a large crowd was gathered at a roulette table. As he got closer he can clearly a young man somewhere either Riku's or Baransu's age with pink spiky hair blowing a roulette ball onto a certain number. Standing next to him is a small blue cat standing on its back legs like a human.
Roulette Dealer: S...Sir! Please stop that!
Pink-Spiked: But it definitely landed on 17! I saw it!
Blue Cat: Yeah!
Roulette Dealer: Even if it was on 17...
Pink-Spiked: It landed on 17 but then it clicked and slipped over the edge! What's with this thing!
Roulette Dealer: Yes...well that's why it's called roulette...
Pink-Spiked: I think this game is ridged!
Sora: (quietly) Either this guy having a bad streak of luck or just incredibly stupid.
Pink-Spiked: (Points to Sora) Hey I heard that you little bastard! Nobody calls me stupid and gets away with it!
Sora: Hey wait a minute! How can you that hear that when I was far away from you!?
Blue Cat: Don't worry, he couldn't control his temper that well.
Sora: Really? I didn't know that.
Pink-Spiked: (got off the roulette table and landed in front of Sora) It's alright, usually I have a bad time controlling my anger. The name's Natsu. Natsu Dragneel and this is my friend Happy.
Happy: (sprouted his wings and flew up to Sora) Please to meet you.
Sora: I'm Sora. Don't think of it as stupid or anything but where am I exactly?
Natsu: (confused) You're in Fiore of course. Why, do you have like amnesia or something?
Sora: No not really, I'll explain to ya while we play a few rounds of roulette, okay?
Natsu: Sure why not. What do you think Happy?
Happy: Aye, sir.
Meanwhile somewhere in the casino, Riku was now carrying a small box filled with shiny, golden coins in his arms with a small grin on his face.
Riku: Man, who would have thought I have a incredible winning streak on one of those slot machines. (looking around and see one unoccupied) One more wouldn't hurt anybody, after this I'll cash in my winnings and get back on finding some answers.
As Riku sat down in front of the machine, he noticed a person sitting next to him was laughing at someone from one of the roulette tables. This person was around Baransu's age with spiky black hair, wearing a purple Hawaiian shirt, black pants, black shoes, but his most distinctive features is his necklace with a miniature sword hanging from it and a scar hardly noticeable on his forehead.
Black-Spiked: Haha! That guy's such a bumpkin!
Riku: You know him?
Black-Spiked: (stops laughing) Do I know you?
Riku: I just saying if you know him.
Black-Spiked: Yeah, he's my friend. His name is Natsu. (noticed Riku's box of gold coins) I see you got lucky recently.
Riku: Thanks. I'm Riku.
Black-Spiked: Nice to meet you, everyone calls me Gray.
Riku: Nice to meet you. Say Gray, one question. Do you know where I am at exactly?
But before he could answer, someone suddenly his name in a calm yet shy voice which sounded like a young woman.
Young Woman: Gray.
Gray: Hmm? Who said that?
It revealed to be a young woman in a blue dress wearing a golden necklace with a odd symbol at the end of it.
Young Woman: I tagged along...
Gray: (shocked) Y...Y...You're...Huh?!
Riku: You know her?
Gray: Kinda, her name's Juvia Lockser and she's member to a dark magic guild known as Phantom Lord. They attacked us not too long ago in order to take our friend away.
Riku: (thought) Magic guild? This world have mages?
Back at the roulette table, Sora tried to help Happy calm down Natsu from his idiotic gambling habit.
Natsu: (to the dealer) I said I saw it! You can't fool these eyes!
Sora: (holding Natsu back) Calm down it's just a game damn it! You don't have to go insane! (suddenly stopped and looked around)
Natsu: (noticed) Hey what's wrong Sora?
Sora: I don't know but I can't get the feeling...that we're being watched by somebody.
Natsu: Nah you're just imagining things.
Unknown: Nope he's right, you are being watched...by me!
Nearby the slot machines a dark figure is seen in the distance.
Dark Figure: (smirked) (placed a gold coin into a slot machine) Boy...When you're in a place for adult entertainment, you should just enjoy it in a dandy fashion. (received a perfect jackpot)
The lights flashed on and off revealing the man dressed as a mobster but he didn't looked human at all, his entire body were like blocks.
Sora, Natsu, and Happy: (shocked) A SQUARE MAN?!
Square Man: Boy, let me give you some advice (starts spinning on his seat at an incredibly fast rate) There's are only two paths a man can take. (starts to slow down but barely) He can live in a dandy fashion... (suddenly spring from his seat and dashed towards Natsu) or he can just keel over and die! That's all.
The square man now has Natsu on the ground with a revolver pistol in the boy's mouth.
Dealer: He's got a gun!
Everyone in the area got so surprised they left in a hurry.
Happy: Wh...What are you doing!
Sora: (grabbed one of his blasters and pointed it to the square man's head) Let him go now!
Square Man: I put that away if I were you. I don't think my boys aren't liking you pointing that gun at me.
Sora: Boys?
A black bullet suddenly passed by Sora's head from behind nearly killing him. When he turned around he sees four beings dressing in dark purple and black suits carrying Thompson machine guns in their hands but the mot shocking features was a black vine-covered heart symbol on their chests.
Sora: (shocked) Heartless?! Here?!
Square Head: I call them Mugshots, just a little present I got from a little friend of mine outside of this world. Not that you don't mind at all...Keyblader.
Natsu: (muffled due to the barrel in his mouth) Heaess? Ouide off is eold? Eyaer? Who are ou huys... (Translation: Heartless? Outside of this world? Keyblader? Who are you guys...)
Riku, Gray, and now Juvia are heading to a bar counter explaining about the world Riku is in and how magic is used for just about everything in everyday life. Riku himself even talked about the world he was from and the journeys he went through along with the Keyblade.
Gray: So this weapon called the "Keyblade", does anyone get to choose it?
Riku: Not exactly, only those with a strong heart can get to have it but not every Keyblade looks the same; there' a few that do but the rest have a different design of their own. (looks at Juvia' necklace) You know, I'm wondering about that symbol around your neck.
Juvia: Oh, I'm glad you noticed. After Phantom Lord got disbanded by the council everyone of us went our separated ways to find new jobs. So now I'm an independent mage...
Gray: And I'm guessing you have your eyes set on Fairy Tail?
Juvia: Very much so!
Riku: Fairy Tail?
Gray: It's the guild I'm with, me and three others here are just on vacation thank to a friend from one of our own. (turns back to Juvia) But you know, after the stunt you guys pulled...I mean, I wouldn't mind, but I wouldn't want master would say...
Juvia: (interrupts) I will do anything!
Riku: Even if you say that...
They stopped when a huge man walked up behind them in plain sight.
Riku: Can we help you?
Without warning, the large man swing his arm and smacked Juvia along with Riku across the counter.
Gray: JUVIA! RIKU! (turns to the large man) You trying to pick a fight with us or what?!
Large Man: Gray Fullbuster, if I'm not mistaken? Where's Erza Scarlet?
Somewhere in the casino, Baransu and Kairi are at a poker where they're losing to a young woman with red hair wearing a purple revealing dress calling herself Erza while accompanying her is a blonde girl named Lucy.
Erza: (Showing her cards) Full House!
Baransu: (thought) Damn it!
Kairi: (thought) So close!
Lucy: (hugging) Erza, you're amazing!
Erza: Luck's on my side today.
Kairi: (whispered to Baransu) How can she so good?
Baransu: (whispered back) I was thinking the same thing.
Before the dealer could shuffle the cards, someone in similar clothes went up from behind and pulled the dealer from his position.
New Dealer: Time for a dealer change.
Erza: Right now I feel like I can't lose no matter who I'm up against.
Lucy: Hell yeah!
Baransu: (to Erza) Oh really, how about we make a little deal then?
Erza: (impressed) Sure, what's our deal?
Baransu: (points to Lucy) If I win, you have no choice but let your friend there go on a date with me along with giving me and Kairi here on some information you know about this country.
Erza: But if I win, then you will give me all your winnings.
Baransu: It's a deal (shock hands with his competitor)
New Dealer: (heard every word) If that's the case, why don't we enjoy a special game?
Everyone was expecting the dealer to give them their cards but instead he only throw in five and they only came out in five letters which surprised Baransu and Kairi. The cards had spelled out DEATH in bold lettering.
Baransu: What the hell? Is this some kind joke 'cus I ain't laughing and as I recalled you were supposed to tell us how much to bet.
Erza: He's right!
New Dealer: (smiled evilly) Very well then. Let's bet...with our lives. (looks at Erza) Sis!
Erza: (Shaken) Sho...
Sho: And don't think I forget you...(looks at Baransu and Kairi) Keyblade wielders of Kingdom Hearts!
