This was the fifth year. The fifth year he attempted the Mark of Mastery Entry Exam. Required to get into the Academy. The fifth year... Derek has been rejected because he lacks something required for entry. The Keyblade. There must be some kind of power or trick to get the Keyblade appear, but no go. He's been doing it every year to fifth, and still no Keyblade.

Planet Lumino is the home to all those who can conjure a Keyblade. Even his Brother Dell can use a Keyblade. A sad tale to hear about how he was unable to get a Keyblade for five years. He was scanned to have a magical gift, but still no Keyblade. Derek sighed as he walked out of the Academy Entrance, to try again another year. His black hair and clothing is the best to protect him from the hot sun. His pale blue eyes staring up in the sky, where the sun is setting.

He looks past the Academy schoolyard, to see the training ring. Four sparring each others with Keyblades. He imagines the Keybearers, using them to fight against the Heartless that keeps invading Lumino. But for what reason? He doesn't want to stand around and watch. He wants to fight!

He snaps to reality, to see his 21 years older brother Dell, same hair and eyes, but his clothing is white, blue, and red. His clothing is like Soras, but the shorts are now long pants, and he wears a cap.

"Derek... This is the fifth year." He sighed with a dissapointing look, "Our planet will fall unless you bear a Keyblade."

"Dell, I know. Just give me years. I'll get the Keyblade some year." Derek said,

"There is no more year, because there is no more time." Dell glared, "A Single Vice or Virtue is needed, which grants you a gift. Yet neither of those are awakened..." his hand glows with magic, slowly a Keyblade is conjured to his hand, "Fine... Show me those, or I will force you."

"Wait... I don't want to fight without a weapon." Derek stepped back,

"Shut up!" Dell leaped forward with a swing, and Derek jumped out of the way, and begins dodging. "Stop dodging and use your gift!" Derek ignored Dell and jumped back, avoiding swings after swings. It was then Dell's Instructor person with white clothing came and stop him with a parry of a Keyblade. "Instructor Weave?"

"What is the meaning of this?"

"I'm... I'm just trying to get Derek to listen."

"By hurting him?"

Dell sheathes his blade.

"I told you, you can't force one to wield a weapon." Weave glared, "You were lucky you almost broke a law. The ones who can't must have time."

"That's what I was worried about." Dell hung his head away, before sounds of Teleportation brings forth dark beings called heartless. Appearing all over the North-West City 9. The Attack is about to begin now.

"Dell." Instructor spoke, "Go to your Captain. Derek, run and hide."

Derek does so, down the sidewalk and away from the School Building, but he can see the Heartlesses after him. He kept his head forward and ran, before more heartless appears in his way, blocking the path. Derek just simply jumped over however, while navigating through the Metro City.

Dell noticed this by watch far from him, but ignored him and moved on to find the Captain. However, plans have changed as Dell follows him. I will only help if he can wield a Keyblade. He sprinted forward roof to roof leaping on each skyscrapers. He looks in the sky, more Heartlesses warping here. This was indeed a full-scale invasion. Dell warped in his Keyblade and started fighting, while hopping roof after roof to continue watching Derek. Multi-tasking and keeping an eye on Derek. He finishes the last one, before turning his head to Derek, and started watching. Use the Keyblade, Derek! Use the Keyblade! He thoughted, but it was too late. Explosions out of nowhere in a donut shape surrounding Derek, before the platform drops down to the pit. Dell just stood there, refusing to help unless requirements are made, and he turned around. Thought so. Those without Key power is worthless even to be rescued. He turned around, to find other keybladers staring at him down.

"W-Why didn't you go and help? He's your brother!"

"That is low, man. He just wants help."

Dell's vicious growl grows out of his mouth. Another who doesn't get it! He unsheathes his Keyblade and attacks the two keybladers.

Derek is laying on the ground unconscious. His life force is knocked out cold, inside the underground caves with Computers and futuristic things. He can feel the warm light, coming from the magical dusts of a Fairy. He looks up to see three ball of fairies with no wings shown. Just some sphere-shaped flying energy orbs, with inside containing a creature.

"Perfect..." Derek layed down and let sleep take over. "Maybe I'm better off without..." And his voice left the functions.

"This boy is dying... His life force draining..."

"That man is decaying... What they do."

"His life declined. And for what? No keyblade."

"I know, right? I thought the Keyless people would get help."

"Yet the keyless are met with verbal harm."

"Those without Keyblades are met with rejection."

"It's their greediness. They need punishment."

"Their gluttony for Power. It's a bad sin."

"They hound power too much. Unforgivable."

"This boy however. What massive magic."

"Yes. I sensed it. The magical power of Zero-X."

"I felt his man power too. He'll be the one."

"Then it's settled... Let's sacrifice ourselves and grant another chance."

Somehow... fairy yet robotic voice, feeling his body with healing and warmth. His body slowly engulved with white light. Blasted by a sphere of neon lights, and his body is covered by those.

"The time for Death isn't now."

"Return to the Living as a Bearer."

"Decay is too soon for a Zero-X."

The light coatings evaporize and dissolves as the transformation is complete. His new cybernetic armor coloured in red and copper orange, along with the Helmet. His new Helmet had a black onyx jewel, just like Zero Omega as Derek looked at the pond reflecting a mirror. It looks like. The Model ZX power. He gasped, I've become... the Mega Man.

Heartless however warped here. Derek saw this few miles away in the Underground Road Tunnel. He tightens both fists and raised them.

"I won't let you beat me this time."

The Heartless drones goes first, but Derek was ahead and delivered a Punch. One punch is all needed to send the Heartless to the wall and splatter in a dark magical blast. The Heartless warps in and surrounds him, and Derek started fighting unarmed, until that point green plasmic magic energy forms onto his right hand. He gasped and look, before it creates a weird device with a handle, and some kind of shield square around the handle. There... It has a trigger switch, and he presses it. It lights up a green beam of sharp blade, with sharp needles into the end on one side. Derek gasped and looked at it.

"A Keyblade." He looks at the Keyblade then the Heartlesses. Repeatedly before stopping at fourth and readies his keyblade. Unknown to him, is the Heartlesses not looking for a fight now, as they fled from him. He looked confused. They were after him, but why are they now running from him? He snaps to the serious task at hand. "Oh right!" He turned off his Keyblade and it teleports away, thinking the Combats over. "I better check the City." He raise his legs and sprints through the Tunnels. This newfound powers discovered by accident made him faster now, and stronger.

Hopefully, Derek thoughted, after seeing the light through the end of the tunnel, Every Key Bearers will respect me.
