A/N: Btw, I forgot to mention something about Axel s family. Sooo yeah.
Xeros Thyeques (the e is silent) is Axel s father who took the Flareian surname upon marrying. A Keyblade Wielder who works for the Department of World Forces. Both a government and non-government agency where there are numerous knights (police) and Tanteis (detectives/investigators) work together for a common goal to all worlds. Xeros is a highly respected Tantei and Knight due to his deadly skills in combat and analytical mind, which no one can deny. His field can be both used for investigations and outfield works. But even with all his achievements, Leila would always say that he s a bit childish and sometimes rash and reckless.
Leila Flareian was a noble at birth since her parents once owned the business of Union Cross Island as its mayors. Her parents never approve of Xeros being a part of the family, but both couples proved to be beyond the expectations of the family because of how well they can work together in smarts and combat. By the death of her parents, she claimed the title of mayor and manager of the Flareian business and married Xeros at the age of 18. She is the first in line of her generation to be blessed with the powers of Phoenix Flame. Thus, having the ability of flame manipulation and flight. She was called as the Phoenix Queen because of the wings she sprouts when flying, and that flames had mixture of red, orange, and gold when willed to manipulate for attacks or defense. She is a strict mother with a fiery temper. But her heart is still soft and warm when it comes to the person she cares about, especially her family.
Axel also has a little sister named Ion Flareian. She took over her father s look who had jet black hair and brown eyes, but has a red strip of hair in her bangs. Opposite to her brother, she inherited her father s looks and her mother s personality. Her abilities will soon be revealed as she will be part of the story in a later date.
Also, I decided to let Ventus use his keyblade by his left hand rather than the right. Without further ado, enjoy the chapter.

Arc 1, Chapter 2:
The Foslux Family have arrived back in their home after a busy day of shopping for their school supplies. The twins immediately went to their rooms and put every bit of their stuff before going downstairs to help their dad with cleaning. Vanus released a tired sigh as he sat on the couch. But the smile on his face was still visible when he remembered the feeling of his sons finally receiving their very own keyblades. He could feel the power surging deep within them. Ventus is hailed as a Light Keyblade Wielder. Roxas is hailed as Grey Keyblade wielder.
Vanus had no qualms if one of his sons became a dark wielder. He would rather let them know that he'll accept them no matter what, even teach one of his twin sons that darkness is not evil as well.
The older blonde knew that Light and Darkness synchronized in harmony, but it all changed when the ancient Keyblade War occured centuries ago. It separated the two, creating numerous whispers and gossips about both sides. But Vanus was one of those people who would just believe things out of a whim even if he was hailed as a Light Wielder. He fully understood it all because his father was a dark wielder. Rosa was a Grey Keyblade Wielder. Discriminating the Dark Wielders would dishonor his father and his wife.
But the worry was still there and it edged his heart. Since Roxas may be able to wield some of the Dark powers, there might be those who will feel discomfort when seeing it. Vanus taught those boys to understand that it's not the power that can make you do bad things.
Vanus sighs as he noticed the twins going down the stairs. He would talk to them about something important.
"Ventus, Roxas..." He called the boys, "Can you two come here for a moment. There is something I would like to talk about."
The twins nodded and went to their father's side, taking their seat at the couch.
"Yes, dad?" They asked in unison.
"Well..." Vanus paused as he stares at his sons, who were waiting for his response, "There are things I would like to tell and clarify, just for you to be knowledgeable of the things around you."
The twins nodded as they listened to their father.
"First, it's about your mother." Their eyes opened wide when they heard the topic, "Her house was in Mage... she's the smartest and talented Keyblade wielder in her peers. But... she was a Grey Wielder, like you Roxas."
"Dad, why does it sound like its bad?" Roxas asked, "It looks like that Mom sounds awesome if she's that great."
Vanus chuckled, "Oh yes, she's an amazing woman alright. But know this, my sons, people still fear for the powers of Darkness. Your mother, being Gray was also feared. She can control both her Light and Dark side, making her strong and sometimes unpredictable."
"So some people hate her just because she's Grey? Or that she has Darkness within her? Van is like that yet he's awesome and cool at the same time." Ventus uttered.
"Majority of the Warrior House do, since it's basically the house of pure Light Wielders." Vanus sighs, "But I am friends with her and I would never let house rivalries ruin the fondness I have for your mother."
"You would always chose her over your house..." Ventus pointed out.
"Yes. I would always. But Xeros and Leila are friends with your mother and they are from Warriors."
"There is still some hope after all." Roxas chuckled, "Oh yeah I remembered something. Axel's house is Guardian. But it has a bad name and he didn't told me why."
"Oh..." Vanus let out a sigh as he continues, "It's because... that was Xehanort's house. His actions gave the Guardian house a bad name."
Ventus stiffened at the mention of the madman. He gazed onto his older twin and saw Roxas' gaze hardened.
"Why did he do it, dad?" Roxas asked, hiding the pain in his voice, "Why did he killed mom?"
"...He was after you two. I was there but Xehanort managed to knock me out of the house. I was struggling to get in because I know Rosa was with you. But your mother was very brave to protect both of you."
He stared at his boys as he gently ruffle their hair, "Through her protection, the killing spell rebounded. We didn't know who casted it... but as soon as Master Yen Sid and the authorities came, something appeared on the wall of our previous home..."
"A prophecy..." Ventus gasped, "And it talked... about us..."
Vanus nodded, "It was supposed to be one of you... but no one knows who rebounded it. But the worlds dubbed you both as the Destiny Twins."
"So..." Roxas paused, unsure what to say, "We're the only ones that survived that spell?"
Vanus didn't respond, but the twins knew the answer for themselves.
"Your mother and I love you, Ventus and Roxas. If I were in there, I would have sacrificed my life as well." Vanus smiled as he held their shoulder, "But fate has given me a chance to raise you and give you both a normal and better life I could afford for both of you."
"You didn't let us experience that kind of life..." Roxas smiled, "You gave Ventus and I a life we would never trade."
"Mom was really brave... we miss her, but Roxas and I know that mom really thinks of us before herself..." Ventus slowly shed a tear.
"It was all Xehanort's fault." The twins said in unison.
Vanus hugged both his sons and soothe them to calm, "I know and I wish that he should stay dead."

-Central Station-
The Foslux family arrived at the station as they also noticed some of the families escorting their children to the same train the twins will take. Numerous students send their final goodbye to their parents, others are chatting with other classmates, and some are putting their stuff at the compartment.
Vanus assisted the twins in getting their stuff sorted out inside the train as they noticed that it will soon leave the premises.
Ventus and Roxas stared at the large train that can contain numerous students. Vanus noticed their fascination and patted their shoulders.
"That train there is conjured with powerful spells to take you to Disney Town. It will have some stops since Twilight Town isn't the only place where Keyblade Wielders reside."
"Woah." Ventus and Roxas gasped in awe.
"It will be a long trip." Vanus sadly smiled as he stares at his sons, "I can't stop you two from going. But... please be careful, alright? Send me as many mails as possible. Travel Mails tend to be easier since not all worlds have computers." The twins nodded and chuckled at their father's antics.
They heard the final call of the conductor. Vanus gave Roxas and Ventus one last hug before parting, "Don't get in trouble, boys. If needed, just don't get caught."
"Yeah, we'll make sure." Ventus laughed.
"We're gonna miss you dad." Roxas said.
"I'm already missing you. Now run along, the train is about to leave."
Ventus and Roxas gave one last hug to their father then ran towards the train entrance. Vanus waited until he found his sons inside one of the compartments. With a heartfelt smile, he waved at his twin sons as the train slowly moved.
Soon, Vanus could only see the small figure of the train as it goes farther away from Twilight Town and with a bright flash, the train disappeared.
"Be safe, my dear sons."

Roxas and Ventus admired the stars from the skies as the train moved on its pace. Every star twinkled symbolizing the life of every world there is.
"To think that those stars represent our worlds." Ventus muttered as he continues star gazing.
"Yeah, it's truly amazing." Roxas nodded in agreement, "But still, this compartment is pretty big."
"Yeah, it's like it could fit around fifteen people!" Ventus exclaimed, Also, Sora promised that he ll be here with us.
Maybe he s in another station. Roxas pointed out, But yeah, it may be nice to finally be with him earlier than expected.
I m sure he ll find us. Ven cheered, "Anyways, we haven't seen Terra, Aqua, and Van entering the train."
"Oh yeah," Roxas' eyes widens, "Now that you've mentioned it, we didn't even bump right into them -"
"Oh, thank god we finally found you!"
The twins turned as they heard a familiar voice entering their compartment. Roxas and Ventus smiled at the sight of Terra Lupane, Aqua Rainfall, and Vanitas Shadelight entering.
"Aqua, Terra, and Van!" The twins greeted.
"Well hello, Ven and Roxas." Aqua greeted back as the three of them took their seats.
"We decided to try and find you since grumplestiltskin here is worried that you missed the train." Terra chuckled as he points at Vanitas.
"We've been at this station earlier than the both of you." Vanitas grumbled, "Besides, even earth boy here got his panties in a twist when he couldn't find both of you."
"Shut up, Van. You know that Aqua and I are older than you."
"No offence bro, but I really don't care~"
The other three just laughed at their antics. Aqua took the chance to calm the two boys before continuing their conversation.
"So, what Keyblades did you both get?" Vanitas asked as he summoned his keyblade, "It's a dark one, I called it Void Gear."
"Void Gear? That seems a bit harsh?" Ventus pointed out.
"It's the first thing that popped in my mind." Vanitas shrugged as his keyblade disappears, "So, what are yours?"
Terra nodded, "Yeah, Aqua and I are curious as well."
Ventus summoned his keyblade first, "Mine is called Wayward Wind, a Light Keyblade."
Aqua noticed how Ventus was handling his Keyblade, "You hold yours in reverse? That's pretty uncommon."
Ventus shrugged as he spins his keyblade, "I just feel comfortable with this style." He then willed his keyblade to disappear.
"I guess it depends on the wielder." Aqua nods as she understood his reasoning, "Anyways, why don't you also show yours, Roxas?"
"Yeah!" Ventus enthusiastically nods, "His is pretty cool! Come on, show it!"
Roxas sighs at his brother's enthusiasm as he stood at the center.
"Wait, why are you standing u - Holy Master of Masters, two!?" Vanitas shrieked as he saw two keyblades within Roxas' hand.
"W-whoa..." Aqua couldn't find the words at what she's seeing right now.
"Okay, I know you twins are strong... but damn Roxas, that's too much." Terra chuckled but still had that fascinating glint within his eyes.
Roxas smiled as he explains his keyblade, "This white one here is called Oathkeeper, a light keyblade. Then the other is called Oblivion, a dark one."
"So you're a Grey Wielder." Aqua deduced, "I've always heard that a keyblade can be both light and dark, I just didn't expect it to be two."
"And you call my keyblade harsh! His is even called fucking "Oblivion"!" Vanitas exclaimed.
"Dude, you just dropped the f bomb." Ventus chuckled.
"I drop the f bomb anytime I want, Venny~" Vanitas replied back.
"You can't really stop his mouth. He doesn't have any filters!" Vanitas then smacked Terra's arms from the comment.
"Alright, give it a rest. Axel will be with us in a couple of minutes." Aqua informed them.
"Oh yeah, he said that he has to travel to Traverse Town since there were no train stations in Union Cross Island." Roxas said.
Ventus then nudged Roxas, "He also said that he'll be bringing someone as well. I guess it may be a friend of his."
Terra looked at the window and saw star quickly being approached near, "Hey, I think that's Traverse Town."
They looked at the window as the train was engulfed with a bright light. The starry skies changed into the sight of Traverse Town. Roxas grinned with glee as they quickly arrive at its station, signaling their temporary stop for new passengers to enter.
"I can't see Axel!" Roxas whined as he looked through the windows.
"It's a sea of crowd, Rox. ." Vanitas scowled, "Seriously, he'll be here soon."
"Hey, Axel is one of Rox's best friends. Let him be excited." Ventus scolded.
"Yeah, yeah, wait for the flamehead, and let your twin get excited. The black haired teen mocked.
Without anyone noticing, they heard a knock from the compartment door. They all turned as they saw a mop of red spiky hair along with a black haired girl beside him.
"Yo, Axel's finally in the house." He grinned as the two of them entered the compartment.
"Finally, you're here, jalapeno." Vanitas grumbled.
"Is that your way of saying I'm hot?" Axel winked, "I'm flattered but not interested in you, emo nightmare."
"So now you're dreaming about me? Disgusting." Vanitas let out a disgusted whine.
"Alright boys, knock it off. Axel hasn't introduced us the girl beside him." Aqua inquired.
"Oh yeah." Roxas smiled, "How about we introduce ourselves first. Hi, I'm Roxas Foslux and this is my twin, Ventus."
"Call me, Ven." The younger twin grinned.
"Aqua Rainfall, nice to meet you."
"I'm Terra Lupane."
"Vanitas Shadelight, remember that."
The black haired girl smiles at their introduction, "Nice to meet you all. I'm Xion Asteriane."
She then extends her right hand as it revealed her keyblade*, "You may be hoping to see my keyblade. This is Twilight Horizon, a Light Core."
"Woah!" Every one of them stares in awe.
"Heh, not as awesome as mine!" Axel gloats as he summoned his keyblade*, "Eternal Flame, baby. This fire burns as hot as mine. Be sure to get it memorized."
Roxas grinned, "Heh, two can play that game."
He then summoned his two keyblades as he formed a battle stance.
"Woah! So cool!" Xion gasped in awe.
"Zeus' bollocks, two!?" Axel exclaimed which caused Roxas to smirk triumphantly.
"What an early start to gloat with your keyblades." Vanitas mumbled.
"Give it a rest, Van." Ventus chuckled.
"Alright, Axel, stop before you burn the whole compartment down." Aqua scolded.
"Yeah, you don't need your mother to know that you had another case of property destruction." Vanitas snickered.
"Boy, did Aunt Leila had a fit when you wrecked your own home." Roxas cackled.

The stop for Hollow Bastion ended as the train ride continues its journey to Disney Town continues. The group bought some food from a floating Moogle shop for them to eat at lunch. The group continued to converse in some interesting topics when they heard a knock from their compartment door. The door opened revealing two girls with blonde and red hair, and the other, a silver haired teen.
"Hey, do you mind if we sit with you?" The girl with red hair asked, "It's actually four of us, but one of us had to buy some drinks."
"Sure, no problem." Aqua nods, "Anyone else have any objections?"
No one argued which made the two girls smile.
"Alright, you can sit wherever you want." Roxas smiled as he urged them to sit.
As soon as the three found their seats, another knock was heard. The door opened revealing the same teen they saw from Union Cross Islands. In his hands were some food and drinks for the four of them.
"Sora!" Ventus and Roxas grinned as they saw him.
"Ven, Roxas!" Sora grinned, "It's a small world after all!"
Sora sat beside the silver haired teen and gave each of the food. Before any questions though, the group decided to say their greetings and introductions and their keyblade at the four newcomers before they could introduce themselves.
"I'm Namine Lightheart and I'm Kairi's young twin sister." Namine greeted as she raised her right hand, revealing her keyblade, "I wield Diamond Dust, a Light Keyblade."
"I'm Namine's older twin, Kairi Lightheart and I'm the wielder of Destiny's Embrace. I'm also a Light user."
"Riku Guardium. I wield Way to Dawn and a Light Wielder."
"Well I'm Sora Souti and I'm a Grey Wielder." Sora then let his keyblades appear in both of his hands, which shocked everyone, but Riku, "I have a Light Keyblade called Kingdom Key and a Dark one called Keyblade of Hearts."
"You're like Roxas!" Axel exclaimed, "He also has two keyblades as well!"
The four of them dispersed their keyblades as Sora replied, "Then I'm not the only Grey wielder here. Nice!"
"It sure is, Sora!" Roxas grinned until he later realized something, "Oh yeah! Um, Sora, is it personal to ask about well..."
"Why I have a surname?" Sora finished, "Don t worry, it s fine to ask."
"Wait, what do you mean, Sora?" Aqua asked.
Riku gazed at the blue haired teen with a cold glare, "He's an orphan, got any problems?"
"Riku, play nice." Sora shushed him, "Its fine The orphanage just gave me a last name so it doesn t raise any suspicions and asks questions."
"O-oh I m sorry if I asked, Sora, Riku." Aqua apologized.
"It's alright, Aqua. Riku is just like that since he's my childhood friend."Sora grinned, "We also know Kairi and Namine since we met them once, when they were on a vacation in Destiny Island."
"It's really a small world." Kairi giggled, "Namine even remembered the time when we met them."
"Yeah, Riku was holding Sora while glaring at us. Some might find it scary but we find it cute and funny." Namine let out a soft chuckle.
Terra then interjects, "So, Namine and Kairi are from Hollow Bastion."
The other twins nodded, Kairi then said," And we also saw Sora and Riku together from the station. We decided to join with them while finding a compartment."
"Well look how it turned out." Vanitas mumbled, "Looks like I'll be stuck with the lot of you for six years."
"Guess again, you ll be stuck with us for the rest of your life, Van." Ventus chuckled, "Don't forget about reunions."
"Davy Jones locker, suck me now." Vanitas grumbles, "Anyways, since we have five new faces here, best you get on my good side and we ll have no problems."
"Same as me, Shadelight." Riku replied back.
"I can see that they re getting along." Xion chuckled as she points at both Riku and Vanitas, "Is this normal for them to be grumpy?"
"Unfortunately." Sora and Aqua both answered in unison as they sipped on their drinks, "You ll get used to it."
Xion decided to change the topic, "Anyways, since Axel, Aqua, and Terra are second years, what are your houses?"
'I'm from the house of Mage." Aqua instantly replied.
"Guardian." Terra replied after swallowing his food.
"Same as Terra. You and Ion know that." Axel points at the older brown haired teen, "Oh yeah, Ion is my little sister. She ll be joining us next year."
"Oh, so there's no one in the group who's in the Warrior house." Xion hummed, "Well I kinda liked to be in Mage. I like books and I find spells more interesting."
"Same." Kairi and Namime answered in unison.
"Would it be great if we were in the Warrior house, Ven?" Roxas smiles at his brother.
"Yeah! We would be the most awesome keyblade wielders there." Ventus grinned as the twins high fived.
"Wherever Sora is, I'm good." Riku casually replies back.
"I'm definitely going to be the first Dark Wielder to ever land in Warrior." Vanitas uttered as the group incredulously looked at him, "What? I have heard of many egotistical bastards in that house. It would kick them in the nuts if I m there."
"Vanitas, no." Ventus deadpanned.
"Vanitas, yes." The black haired teen grinned, "So, brown haired porcupine, any thoughts?"
"My name is Sora." Sora deadpans.
"Who cares, dude. You re a part of the group and I always make nicknames." Vanitas replied back, "I even call Ven "Sunshine Idiot" sometimes.
"Hey!"
Sora sighs as he ignores the new nickname, "Well I have no specific choice. Whatever the decision is, I'll just stick to it."
"That s right." Aqua nodded, "Remember that you all don't make the decision. It depends under the magic of the Three Good Fairies."
"I've read about them." Xion instantly interjected, "Their names are Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather."
"Well someone did their research." Aqua smiled, "Maybe you'll be in Mage at all."
"Yay!"
The group silenced when they heard the announcing spell that the train will soon arrive at Disney Town. They quickly finish their meals and wait for their actual stop.

-Disney's Awakening of Magical Students Station-
By the forests near its school, the train stopped on its final course. Numerous students with their robes on got out of the train. Many reunited with familiar faces while others stopped to take a picture of the scenery. The first years were only seen wearing a white long sleeved collared polo. The robes and the school tie will soon appear after its sorting.
The uniforms only required the robes, the upper part, and the tie to be unified according to the houses. The bottom part will depend on the students if they were to pick pants, appropriate skirts, or appropriate shorts.
As the group got out, only Axel, Aqua, and Terra wore their uniforms while the others merely chose their bottom part clothing and some white collared long sleeved polo.
"Alright, finally standing!" Axel sighed in relief as he stretches his limbs.
"Feel relief right now, Axel. But I hope you finished the homework Professor Robinson's Math Homework." Terra grins in delight at Axel s utter despair.
"Can you not remind me now? I still have like, three days!" Axel exclaimed.
"Just ask Aqua if you need some help." Terra pointed at their blue haired friend.
"But I expect some effort from you as well, Axel." Aqua sternly replied back.
"Yes mom."
Namine, Kairi, and Xion giggled at their senior's antics. Sora, Riku, and Vanitas chuckled at Axel's despair. Ventus and Roxas shared their sympathy to the older red haired teen since both of them share the hate and detest to that subject.
"There are Maths!" Ventus exclaimed.
"Oh dear, Neptune, not again." Roxas groaned.
"I never thought that there would be a lot of subjects in this school." Sora hummed, "I thought it would be more on keyblades."
"Yeah, but from what I ve read, Disney wanted to make sure that the students are well educated to some factors as well. Along with the culture and history of different worlds." Xion answered.
So it s not only for brawns, Sora. Riku grinned, You gotta have some brains as well.
"Hey! I can handle subjects as good as you!" Sora pouted, "You may be smart, but I don't fail my lessons back at home!"
"Yeah, yeah." Riku ruffled his hair, "Besides, we have a lot of company right now. We could always ask for their help."
Aqua smiles at Riku's words, "Well said, Riku. Since everyone is a part of the group now, we stick together no matter what."
"In other words, all of us will graduate!" Axel grins, "No one gets left behind, got it memorized."
"Ugh, not one of those catchphrases of yours, Flamehead." Vanitas grumbled as everyone continued to walk towards their school.
"Wait!" Namine exclaimed as everyone turns to look at her, "Aperio, Camera!"
With a flash of light, a camera appeared in her hands which caused everyone to show their awe and fascination.
"Woah, Namine, that s cool!" Xion exclaimed.
Namine blushed, "Well, mom taught us some spells and it s the first one that I picked up. Also, it s our first day together, why not we make some memories?"
Roxas and Ventus answered first, "That's a great idea, Namine!"
"Woah, we didn't even thought of that in our first years." Aqua chuckled.
They all hurdled together as Namine set the timer of the camera. Ventus had to drag Vanitas to join them before the timer began to count down. The camera then automatically floats to a perfect distance as it prepares for the capture.
"Alright, everybody say Disney!" Namine grinned.
"Disney!"

-Corridors-
Terra, Aqua, and Axel soon separated from them as they entered the school. The first years were gathered in the corridors, awaiting for the instructions. Many were talking about how the sorting would occur, some just chose to mingle about other things. Sora, Roxas, Riku, Kairi, Namine, Ventus, Vanitas, and Xion decided to just stick together while waiting.
"Well, we know how the sorting would occur." Kairi shrugs, "So, it s pretty much not scary at all".
"Yeah." Sora nods, "Though I wonder how."
"We'll just have to find out, I guess." Ventus said, "Dad didn t mention something about how the Three Fairies would do it."
"Yeah, and even if we go to different houses, we'll still stick together." Roxas grinned as the others nod their heads in agreement.
"Well, Triton's beard, it's the Foslux Twins!"
The group turned to see a teenage boy with blonde hair but is covered with a black tuque. The blonde pushed Sora away which Riku quickly caught him before falling. Xion, Namine, and Kairi immediately glared at the other teen's disrespectful attitude. Vanitas decided to observe the situation.
"The name's Seifer Almasy." Seifer arrogantly grins as he inches his face near the twins.
Ventus arches an eyebrow while Roxas glares at the taller blonde. They both look at their friends who were also glaring at Seifer's back.
"Pleasure." Roxas answered back while hiding the disdain look he has, "You pushed our friend."
"Oh, him? I didn t even saw that shrimp when I came to you." Seifer smirked.
'Shrimp!?' Both Ventus and Sora exclaimed in their thoughts.
Xion and Sora did their best to stop Riku from assaulting the tuque head teen, as Kairi and Namine tried to calm him down. Vanitas snickered at the sight of Riku's face.
"Hehe, look at that." Seifer points at Riku, "He can't even control himself. I don t know why you would associate to those shrimps. But I can show you how to be strong like me."
Seifer extends both his hands at the twins. But Roxas and Ventus merely looked directly onto his eyes and said, "We appreciate the gesture, but we know that we re friends with the right sort."
"So, Seifer -"
" - Thank you -"
" - For the unwanted attention and gesture."
Ventus and Roxas pushed Seifer away as they went towards Sora and the rest. The girls were able to stop Riku, but it doesn t mean that his glare didn t disappear that quickly.
"He didn't need to push Sora." Riku uttered as Roxas and Ventus joined them.
"That guy's a jerk, Riku." Xion replied, "Don't get him under your skin or he'll just win."
Sora sighs, "Great, another jerk that I have to watch."
Nah, he's a jerk that we'll have to watch. He kinda offered us his friendship, but we left him hanging." Ventus chuckled.
"Nice, that'll get bowl head that we don't accept jackasses." Vanitas smirked," As much as I both hated and enjoyed a friend of mine being pushed, I just find him completely ...unlikeable."
"Really, unlikeable? Where's your vocabulary?" Roxas smirked which earned a smack from the golden eyed teen.
"He doesn't even fit in any of the words that are the same as hate!" Vanitas exclaims.
"Someone's losing." Sora smirked which earned a glare from the black haired teen.
"Zip it, Sorass."
The students suddenly silenced themselves when they noticed an anthropomorphic mouse heading towards them. Many were breathless him as they recognized who he is.
"That s Mickey Mouse!"
"The teacher and head house of Warrior!"
Xion then leaned to them and said, "He's also the King of Disney Town. King Mickey almost became the headmaster, but he chose Master Yen Sid instead."
Mickey chuckled as he asked for the students to keep quiet, "Alright, settle down folks. I know that you've heard about me but I would prefer if you would call me Professor Mickey. I am merely a teacher and not a king in this prestigious school."
Everyone nodded as they kept their attention towards him. Mickey then continued, "The sorting will start now, but I would like to tell a few introductions since you're all new here. There are three houses: Guardian, Mage, and Warrior. There are individual and house points that will determine your grades as well. The top 20 students per year will be awarded, as well as the house cup winners. So I want all of you to treat your housemates, classmates, and schoolmates well."
"Yes, Professor Mickey!"
"Good." The mouse smiled, "Also, in terms of points, you won't know if you re deducted or added since we tend to keep silent about it."
Mickey then opened the doors towards the Great Hall which caused everyone to gasp in awe. There were numerous tables but it was arranged in accordance with the house. Floating white lights were up above the ceilings as it lights up the whole room. At the front and center of the hall were the teachers of various subjects.
"Alright, fellas, follow me." The students followed Mickey as they were taken at the center.
The group then saw Aqua waving at them when they were looking at the Mage table. When they turned their heads toward the Guardians, Terra and Axel were waving towards them. Sora then caught their attention as they saw the light above sparkling towards them. There, the Three Good Fairies had their entrance as they stood at each side. Fauna at the middle, Flora at the right, and Merryweather at their left.
A scroll then levitated towards Mickey. As it unrolled itself, the mouse began to call their names.
"Almasy, Seifer!"
The tuque head teen confidently strides towards the middle. The fairies then fired their magic towards the teen and it didn t take any second till his robes and tie turned red.
"Warrior!"
The Warrior table cheered as Seifer ran to his new housemates.
"Great, if I were in Warrior, I would have to deal with that dumbo." Vanitas let out a exasperate sigh.
"Asteriane, Xion!"
Xion smiled at her friends as she walks toward the center. With the same ritual, it took a whole minute before her robes turned blue, "Mage!"
"Aqua seemed happy that she has someone to talk to." Sora said as the others nodded.
Mickey called some students for the sorting until it finally reached the F letter. Ventus and Roxas both exchanged glances as they wait for their names to be called.
"Foslux, Roxas!"
Roxas nodded as he walks towards the aisle. But he could hear many whispers around him which made his brows furrow.
"That s him!"
"Roxas Foslux, one of the Destiny Twins!"
"I wonder what house he'll get."
Roxas let out a deep breath as he saw the orbs of light circling in his body. Out of nowhere, there were voices that echoed in his head.
"Hmmm I see he doesn t fit in my house." The blue light with a male voice said as it soon disappeared, leaving only the yellow and red orb to observe him.
"Very difficult indeed. Seems like he'll be hard to sort." The red orb with a feminine voice giggled.
"Young Roxas, you met someone from your dream now, we will give you the freedom to let your heart choose your own course." The yellow orb with a wise masculine voice said.
Roxas remembered the dream he had from before. He looked at the house of the Warriors as he remembered what his father said about them. With a determined look, he answered.
"Time for a change of tradition." Roxas spoke in his mind.
The yellow orb disappeared as the red orb changes his uniform, showing the colors of red and the symbol of the Warriors.
"Warrior!"
The teachers were beyond shocked at the sudden change. They would always take note of the student s aura sign, and the whole staff knew that Roxas was a Grey Wielder. The whole Warriors clapped as one of the Destiny Twins landed on them.
Roxas smirked as he walked towards Seifer and whispered, "For the record, I'm a Grey Wielder."
As he immediately took a sit beside a guy who is also a first year. He has black hair and blue eyes. He grins and offered a hand, "I heard what you said to that guy and I don't care. You ve got some guts stopping that arrogant prick."
Roxas accepted the gesture and grinned, "Same, Roxas Foslux."
"The name's Zack Fair. Pleasure to meet you."
"Warrior!"
Roxas noticed his twin brother running towards him and said, "Looks like we're together after all!"
"Yeah!" Roxas grinned as he introduced Zack to Ventus.
The sorting continued with Riku being chosen for the Guardian house. They saw a small smile forming on his face as he met up with Terra and Axel. Roxas and Ventus weren t surprised when both the Lightheart twins were picked for the Mage house.
"Shadelight, Vanitas!"
Vanitas walked with a smirk on his face as Ventus cheered for him. But the twins and Zack heard Seifer belittling their friend.
"Oh look, a Dark scumbag."
It took a lot of self-control for Ventus to not pounce and shove his keyblade on Seifer s butt. But when they heard Vanitas being chosen for Warrior, they cheered while the bullies grimaced.
"Looks like I'm true to my word." Vanitas smirked as he sat beside Ventus.
"Oh yeah, this is Zack. Don t worry he's nice." Ventus said as he points at the other black haired teen.
"Hmm I guess he's okay with my list."
After a few students were sorted, it now landed to Sora.
"Souti, Sora!"
Ventus, Roxas, and Vanitas looked at each other as they eagerly waited for the sort. Roxas eyes widens when he noticed the duration of the sorting was as long as him. The three orbs haven't even disappeared yet.
"Warrior." It was Sora who announced it as the orb landed towards him, changing his uniform to its red glory.
Vanitas smirked as he saw Sora running towards them, "Looks like we can wreak havoc at their stupid tradition. Two Grey Wielders and one Dark? This shit is gonna be awesome!"
Sora chuckled as he took a seat beside Roxas, "So much for pure light members."
"Zack Fair, by the way."
"Sora Souti."
The sorting soon ended as Yen Sid stood by the center. Every single staff and student silenced themselves as they await for the Headmaster to speak.
"Welcome juniors and seniors to Disney's Awakening of Magical Students. A school for talented individuals with different attributes, talents, and skills that many would find extraordinary in the eyes of many."
Seifer snickered at the talented part, but they chose to ignore him.
"As you all know, we pursue the meaning of unity. So For Mondays, Fridays, and Sundays, those are the days that you are seated with your house. The rest however, are the days you get to meet many new faces from different houses. You will be taken to your dorms by your house presidents as your head house will hand you your schedules."
Yen Sid introduced the teachers behind him, "For the first years, here are your teachers. First, we have Professor Mickey Mouse. Head of Warrior and teacher for The Art of Combat and Weaponry."
Mickey stood up and waved at the students.
Then we have "Professor Donald Duck, Mage House s Head. He will be your teacher to your Property of Magic lessons."
"You said it." Donald nods.
"Then we have Professor Goofy Goof, head of the house of Guardians. The teacher and manager for History Classes."
"A-hyuck." Goofy chuckled.
"Professor Milo Thatch for Language and Literature of Worlds. Professor Cornelius Robinson for Math. Physical Fitness is Coach Phil. Potions and Crafts is Professor Ansem s line of teaching. Then finally, your teacher for Strategy Against the Dark Creatures, will be Claude Frollo."
The students applauded at their teachers as they were all anxious and impatient for their class to start. Yen Sid continues to introduce some teachers. The twins however didn't applaud as they noticed something off. Roxas started to get dizzy which earned the attention of Sora.
"You okay?"
"I'm fine, Sora."
Roxas however noticed Sora s gaze onto one teacher. It was as he was observing one of the teachers from the front.
"Whatever that is, it's not friendly."
Ventus then whispered, "Wait, you can sense something too?"
"Comes with being Grey I guess" Sora shrugs.
It didn't took long for the food to arrive as many students dig in. The twins and Sora just shrugged as they also ate some food for themselves.
Today marks the start of their school years.
