A/N: So I decided that due to my heavy schedule (school and all that), I'll be updating this story at least once per week. Oh, and big shout out to the nobody 0 for continuously supporting me throughout this story: D
So without further ado, chapter 2!
Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts, only Leo and the plot. If I did own Kingdom Hearts, Sora wouldn't have big feet.
Chapter 2: The Meeting
"I want to learn on how to wield the keyblade."
"I'll discuss with the Master first. In the meantime, hop on. I'll take you to our training spot." Said Terra, gesturing to his Glider. "No need, I know where it is." Leo said before summoning a portal that had a white border around it.
"How did you…" stuttered Terra. "This is a skill that is passed down from my family. Makes it easy to order stuff, don't you think?" asked Leo with a smile. "Meh, let's get this over with." Terra shrugged, before following Leo into the portal.
After the portal closed, another portal, black in colour, opened in front of where Terra last stood before walking towards Leo's portal. A guy with a black suit walked through it. He wore a pure black mask that fully covered his face. On his chest was the same symbol that Leo saw on the Trinity Armor, the Unversed Symbol. He summoned his keyblade, and looked around. "Heh, nobody's here. Looks like they went to 'that' place." The masked boy said before summoning another portal and walking through it.
When Terra and Leo arrived at Terra's training grounds, two people ran to meet them. One was wearing a black and white jacket. He wore caprice pants that were grey, black and white. His blonde hair was spiked upwards. He looked like a kid, but Leo saw that he was no ordinary kid. The other, a woman, had blue, short hair. She wore a black and blue top, and two belts over her chest. Her shoes, Leo noticed, were spiked.
"Terra! How did the scouting go?" asked the kid. "Smoothly, other than a good fight from this kid over here." Terra chuckled before pointing at Leo. "Who's he?" asked the woman. "Apparently some Unversed attacked his house, and…" Terra went silent. "…I see. So, what's your name?" the woman asked Leo. "I'm Leo." Leo introduced himself. "Hi, I'm Aqua, and that kid over there is Ventus. You can call him Ven." Said Aqua. "Yo." Said Ven. "So, why don't you three go icebreaking? I need to pass this report to the master." Said Terra. "Sure!" Aqua said before summoning a humongous ice cube.
Terra facepalmed.
"Okay, okay, fine." Aqua said, before dispelling the ice cube and bringing up some bean bags for them to sit in. Terra walked away, with a report in hand.
"So, Leo, was it?" asked Aqua. "Yeah?" asked Leo. "How did the Unversed attack your home?" asked Aqua. Leo gave them the rundown of everything that he told Terra, and showed them Impervious and Paradox. "Ven, have a look at this!" beckoned Aqua. Ven ran over and swung Paradox around. "Careful. That blade poisons whatever living thing touches its tip, other than its owner." Warned Leo. Ventus did a mock swing with Paradox, and then gave it to Aqua. Aqua, on the other hand, examined Impervious. "This blade has a high resistance to magic that I've never seen before…" thought Aqua, then she returned Impervious to Leo, who then sheathed both of his blades. "That reminds me, Terra said that you two could help me with my training. Can you both please help?" asked Leo. "Sure!" said Ven. Aqua nodded, and then asked Leo,"What do you need?"
"Aqua, can you help me with my magic? I know it's not that good, so I need help with this." Leo said before showing Aqua all 3 elemental magic. "What the…" Ventus thought, surprised at the newcomer's magic. "So he knows magic too... This is going to be fun." Aqua thought before beginning Leo's training. Ven stayed and watched, since he needed some tips in magic also.
Terra walked up to Master Eraqus's office and knocked twice. "Come in, Terra" said a voice from inside. Terra entered, and saw two old men, apparently discussing about something. He bowed to the old men. "Master Eraqus, Master Xehanort" said Terra. "Hmm." Said Master Eraqus. "So that's what we should do currently about the Unversed problem. I'm counting on Vanitas to keep in check the rest of the… darker worlds so that they do not go astray from the light." "Understood." Said Master Xenahort, rising to leave. He looked at Terra, a hungering glint in his eye. Terra looked away and began to sat down. "Xenahort!" said Master Eraqus. "Do come for the Mark of Mastery exam tomorrow." Xenahort nodded, before leaving.
"So, what can I do for you, Terra?" asked Eraqus. Terra gave him the report of the scouting just now. Eraqus read through the report and nodded. "This seems to be in order. Good work, Terra." Said Eraqus. "Thank you Master." Said Terra. "Oh, and there is something I have to tell you. I brought back a kid from Area 25-03. He has great potential for a keyblade wielder, and he possesses magic of some sort. " Terra explained. "Hmm. Bring me to see him. I wish to see this kid for myself." Requested Eraqus. "As you wish, Master." Said Terra, before leaving to get Leo.
When Terra arrived at where he left Leo, Aqua and Ven, he saw that the three were busy practicing their magic. "Sorry to interrupt, but the Master wishes to see Leo." Said Terra to Aqua. "Aww, now? We were just getting started on that new Thunder move. What was it called again…" said Ven. "It's Thundera, Ven, and wait here. I'll be in a jiffy!" Leo smiled before following Terra to Eraqus's office.
When they arrived, Terra knocked twice. "Come in" said Eraqus from inside. Terra and Leo both entered Eraqus's office. Eraqus beckoned for both of them to sit down, which they did. "So, Leo." "Yes, sir?" asked Leo. "Oh, don't call me sir, my name is Master Eraqus." said Eraqus to Leo. "As I was saying, I believe you had a request, in return for bringing you here for training?" "Yes Master, I wish to wield the keyblade." "Hmmm…." Eraqus stared at Leo, taking into account his physique, his build and so on. Eraqus noticed that Leo was quite a nimble fighter, despite his tall build.
"Yes, you may wield the keyblade. But I need to prepare the ceremonials, so come back here tomorrow." Said Eraqus. "Thank you, master." Leo said, bowing to Eraqus before leaving with Terra.
Not too long after, the boy with the black helmet appeared in Eraqus's training grounds. "So, this is where they ran off to, eh?" said the boy. "Not bad, time to report back to the master." Said the boy before summoning a dark portal and entering it.
"Just you wait, Ventus…. Brother…"
