Author's Note: You can blame WingBladeWeaver1357 for this, and their fic Dandelion's Glory for this little bout of madness :P Hope you all enjoy, and I would advise giving theirs a read through first before coming to this one.
CHAPTER ONE
IT BEGINS
"I'm sorry, you want me to do what?" a black trench-coat wearing brown and silver haired teen asked of a silver haired teenager. "Ienzo called and asked if I could send someone to keep an eye on Hikari whilst she's in this City of Heroes world… whilst working from the shadows." Riku explained with a sigh and a shrug. Scath rubbed the back of his head, muttering under his breath. "I get that she's Sora's sister and all that, but this City Of Heroes world sounds like it's an easy place to stay out of trouble." he replied. "Hell, they don't even have Heartless or Nobodies running around causing havoc if I've read the initial report right."
Riku shrugged. "Xehanort had some kind of interest in that world, and with her doing hero work there as part of her cover whilst she looks for any more reports he wrote…" the Twilight Master trailed off, leaving it hanging for Scath to pick up and follow through. Scath sighed before slowly nodding. "Fine. I'll be the "villain" to her hero. If I'd known that part of the deal of helping me escape the Realm Of Darkness was baby-sitting a kid I don't know, I might have rethought the whole arrangement." smirked the brown haired youth to show there was no real bite to his words.
"Just try to keep Keyblade summoning to a minimum. Apparently there are some in that world who know about it, and Xehanort's the one who introduced them to the concept." The silver-haired Keyblade master explained, Scath nodding slowly. "Yeah… Don't worry. I know full well the terrible power someone can do with a Keyblade." He said as he rubbed his left arm where the faded gold coloured armour rested.
Riku placed a hand on his "apprentices" shoulder in a comforting manner. "That's why I figured you'd be best for this. The Realm of Darkness may have taken your memories, but the feelings are still there. Use them and keep an eye out for her whilst you look for those reports of his."
Scath sighed and nodded. "…Are you sure we can't just send Lea? I mean, icky jobs are his speciality after all." he quipped, chuckling even as Riku smacked him across the back of his head, chuckling along with him. "I'm sure. Now get going. And remember-" he said even as Scath called out his Keyblade, a deep purple weapon that looked like it had jaws at one end, and opened a portal to this new world.
"Keep the Keyblade to a minimum. Don't worry about it. You and Terra helped re-train me remember?" he said before he gave a two fingered salute and stepped through into the City Of Heroes, and Villains. With Hikari in the Light, and himself in the Darkness.
What could possibly go wrong?
