Kuran and Will stepped out of the dark portal and the first thing the two noticed was that they were on a field. Looking around, Kuran thought aloud, "Looks nice here."

"Hey, check it out," Will said as he pointed to what looked like a large tree off in the distance.

"What kind of tree is that?" asked Kuran, then added "Also I have an odd feeling about being here…"

"Yeah it feels like we're in a universe within a universe or something, but there's also something else...weird."

"Like what?" asked Kuran. "Aside from that your idea is weird! On second thought, though, with you and what has happened to us so far it's become a standard."

"Can't really put my finger on it… well in any case we might as well find out," Will stated as he began making his way torward the tree.

Kuran followed, and as they got closer… "Will… do you see these rabbits?"

"Hm?" Will looked down and saw the rabbits Kuran was talking about, with one looking up at them curiously. "Awww, they're so cute."

"That's true," commented Kuran as he tried to pick one of them up, unaware of what he was about to do to himself. As he picked up the rabbit, his body quickly froze as he heard voices in his head for a few seconds. Unconciously letting go of the rabbit, he then collapsed briefly..

"Dude, you alright?" Will asked, looking down at him.

He groaned and rubbed his head while he wondered aloud, "Who had just been talking?"

"What are you-" Will began to ask as he picked up a rabbit himself only to have the same thing happen to him. "Oh man thats smarts!" he said, rubbing his head. "Jeez, what kind of rabbits are these anyway?"

"Not a single clue…" admitted Kuran.

"Well they don't appear to mean any harm, at least," added Will.

"Guess we have to find somebody to explain to us what these rabbits are… and I bet this somebody will show up soon, knowing our luck and our authors," commented Kuran. "And adding to the fact that three authors are running this chapter…"

"Oh, how I love special guests!" Will then looked up at the tree and noticed some rustling. Kuran, hearing the rustling, looked in the same direction. Together they saw what looked like some type of chameleon.

"What the hell…." Will then noticed a heart shaped mark on its back. "Is that...a Heartless?"

"My eyes would say it is," answered Kuran. "I feel the darkness in it... but it feels very different than just a general Heartless. We better deal with it."

"Right." Will said, summoning his Keyblade. Kuran followed and threw a few daggers at the Heartless to gain its attention. The Heartless saw the two and responded by lashing out with its tongue. Will quickly grabbed it by the offending appendage and yanked it out of the tree, letting go once it was out.

"How strong are you?" asked Kuran while throwing another set of daggers. Then he began to run over to attack with his Keyblade.

"Sparring with Tifa helps," Will responded as the Heartless dodged the daggers. Will was about to strike untill the Heartless began to glow. "What the- UGH!" Something knocked Will off his feet. Looking up, Will saw the Heartless finishing its transformation, now appearing as a large snake.

"A shape shifter? That's new," commented Kuran after he got over his initial shock

"Snakes...Why'd it have to be snakes?" Will mumbled as he drew his Katana.

Suddenly, a girl's voice called out, "You stole that line from 'Indiana Jones'!"

They turned around towards the voice. Kuran wondered aloud, "Who are you?"

"And for the record I DID actually steal that from Indiana Jones. But, in all fairness I had a bad experience with a snake at one point," Will added.

The raven-haired girl that had called out to them grinned as she ran up and responded, "Well, can't argue with that. Now, did either of you guys happen to see where that butt-muncher of a Heartless went?"

"Ehh… that snake behind us?" asked Kuran and without looking pointed to the spot where it was as it once again transformed, this time into a spider that quickly scurried onto the tree while giving off a quiet shrieking noise.

"Jeez what kind of heartless is this?" Will wondered, watching it with fascination.

Kuran looked back at it to see if it was still there only to find out that there was no snake, nor any other kind of heartless as far as he could see.

The girl, on the other hand, seemed to have experience with this particular Heartless, if her next actions gave off any indications. Running toward the tree, she growled, "Oh, no you don't!" Suddenly, to the two stranger's amazement she summoned her own Keyblade… however, it wasn't just any Keyblade that she now clutched in her right hand.

"Is that… the blade I think it is?" Kuran asked Will. "Did they really get the twenty pieces together in this universe?"

"I..I don't know. Is...is that really The X-blade?!" Will wondered with disbelief.

As she quickly glanced back towards the two of them, the girl remarked with surprise, "Oh, so you guys are also Kingdom Hearts OC's?"

Suddenly, the X-blade itself spoke, "And you've heard of me!"

"X-blade, not now," the girl admonished as the other two stood there in shock. "I need you to tell me where you can sense that stupid Anti-Muse before it wrecks this tree."

"My sense tells me it moved towards this tree from the village over there," replied Kuran, pointing over to the village he had just now noticed. "Why is this tree important?"

"Wow, you guys are REALLY new," the girl remarked. "And I promise I'll answer your questions when we find that Heartless."

Kuran nodded and rushed over to the spot where he sensed this heartless, his keyblade ready in the one hand and in the other he grabbed a set of daggers. They looked around so far not having any luck. "Well damn. Little bastard could be anywhere. It doesn't help that it can shape-shift." Will said.

"I agree!" added Kuran. "What IS this thing in detail? And since we already broke the fourth wall a few times, I take you are an OC as well?

"Of course! My name's Heavyn Lee, what are your names?"

"Kuran… Kuran Yuma" told the darkness user.

"A pleasure to meet you my name is Will."

"Just Will?" inquired the X-blade.

"Don't question that," offers Kuran "If you were in this unoffical roleplay of us, you would know the reason behind it."

Heavyn looked down from her position in the tree at that. "Roleplay? She doesn't normally…" Suddenly turning stern as her violet eyes narrowed slightly, she said with an equally stern voice, "I think that after we take care of this Heartless you two shall have to answer some questions, as well."

"Like what?" asked Kuran.

Instead of answering, Heavyn replied cryptically, "Heartless first, then questions."

Kuran looked towards Will as he said, "Guess we have to move then."

"Since we don't know where it went, I guess we'll just track it," Will said as his eyes turned silver and looked at the ground.

"The ground? Is it now a mole?" asked Kuran

"I'm looking for its tracks," Will stated.

"Which makes sense to a shape shifting heartless," replied Kuran

"This way," Will said before running off, with Kuran and Heavyn following immediately behind. The group ran all the way into the nearby village and ran through the streets until they reached an alleyway. "Damn, the tracks end here. It more than likely turned into something that can fly."

"Son of a warthog's uncle!" Heavyn burst out. "We were so close to getting that friggin' Anti-Muse Heartless, too!"

"Well, at least we prevented it from attacking that one-shot tree this time," reassured the X-blade.

Looking down at the X-blade clutched in her hand, Heavyn countered, "But now it could be anywhere, X-blade, and if there's one thing that we've learned is that it will stop at nothing to destroy all the trees." Sighing, she continued, "I just want this despicable thing destroyed so that everything can go back to the way it used to be."

"I know…" the X-blade trailed off with an understanding tone.

Her eyebrows furrowing slightly, she inquired, "Has Katlyn reported anything?"

"No."

"Ariana?"

"Nope."

"Anyone from the Copyright village?"

"Uh-uh."

Sighing with relief, Heavyn breathed, "Thank goodness."

"Soooo, you going to fill us in on what exactly is going on yet?" Will asked.

"After all neither of us have the slightest idea why this heartless attacks trees, why it is called Anti-Muse, or why your Keyblade can talk," added Kuran. "And from what I get earlier you seem to have a problem with us. Or did I read into this too much?"

In the real world XSDStitch leaned back and mused "Well… I wonder how my mind is looking like?"

Back with Kuran, he groaned while holding his head "Damm! My author has his fantasies again!" I don't really see what that has to do with anything but ok...I guess." When Heavyn raised her eyebrows, he elaborated, "He has some VERY random thoughts at times. Once time as he wrote a story with a Pokemon OC he thought out of the blue about Detective Conan and how he would look like as Fish"

"Good to know," Will said before turning to Heavyn. "Answers. Now. Please."

Kuran nodded to him and turned towards her as well.

Her eyebrows furrowing, Heavyn's face filled wth a realization. "Wait, you mentioned that your creator was a he… no, you can't be!"

"What, Heavyn?" inquired the X-blade.

Suddenly jumping back from them with slight fear, Heavyn pointed towards them as she demanded, "Who created you?! How did you get into this realm?! Why are you here?!"

"Well my author is known as Fantasyfan101," Will said before pointing to Kuran, "and his is XSDStitch. As for how we got here, well I have this ability to create corridors to other dimensions and alternate timelines. Kuran here is, more or less, my apprentice in this little journey of ours. And for the reason of why we are here… to tell you the truth: we just happened to end up here after helping some guys out of lighting up a lighthouse to save their world."

Then he pointed to the X-Blade as he asked, "And do you mind if you tell us how you got the X-Blade? Because as far as I am aware, to reforge it you need the pKieces it shattered into after the Keyblade War, which happens to be 7 pieces of light and 13 pieces of darkness. And the light pieces are definitely within the 7 princesses of heart."

Blinking, Heavyn responded after a moment, "That's not the way that I had learned as to how to forge the X-blade." Looking down at the weapon in discussion, she inquired, "X-blade, is that really a viable alternative to the way that you were forged?"

"I had almost forgotten about that way since it's a really difficult one, considering that you need to pretty much restart the Keyblade War, but yes, it is," came the answer.

"Huh… well anyway, to answer as to how I got the X-blade, it began with me finding Repliku on the side of my house while I was taking out the trash..." Heavyn then explained the opening events of her story, including her current quest to find the remaining four Fragment Worlds.

"So, that's my story," Heavyn eventually finished. "Sorry about the initial suspicion, but all of the OC's, Plunnies, and Literatrees that reside in this realm all owe their existence to one person, so you can imagine my surprise when you two showed up without realizing who that person is."

"You realize you could been killed more than once by being reckless?" asked Kuran. "Though, I have no room to talk…."

"So, care to explain what exactly is going on?" Will asked.

"To put it simply, gentlemen, that Heartless is single-handedly destroying this realm," came the answer, "and if it isn't defeated, then all of the residents of Comasul will be doomed."

"Comasul?" asked Kuran "Is this the name of this place?"

"Wait, that ONE Heartless?" Will wondered.

"Never underestimate the power of the Anti-Muse Heartless," Heavyn cautioned. "It's got a ridiculous amount of health—"

"Especially considering who's been battling it alongside us," interrupted the X-blade.

"Thank you, X-blade. Anyway, besides its ridiculous amount of health, it also has the shape-shifting ability that you've witnessed, and it also has an attack that is devastatingly annoying."

Will whistled. "Got to give that thing props, It doesn't mess around. Still in comparison I'd say it's the third or fourth most annoying Heartless I've met," he said.

"Don't want to meet the other two or three…" admitted Kuran, then he asked Heavyn, "Care to show us some of this damage?"

For once, Heavyn seemed a bit reluctant. "Are you sure?" she inquired, "Because I'm not going to lie, some of the stuff that the Heartless has caused is pretty bad to look at even for those who are familiar with it. I'm not entirely sure how two newcomers might take it…" When the two boys indicated their willingness to continue, Heavyn sighed and agreed.

Leading them out of the town, the trio walked for about five minutes. Soon, they arrived at a tree similar to the one Will and Kuran had initially seen… with some noticeable differences.

"You see those brown vines?" As she pointed towards the sickly brown vines littered with holes, she explained, "That's one of the Heartless' weakest attacks against the Literatrees. They force the tree to recognize that bad ideas that are littered with plotholes are indeed part of the story." Climbing into the tree, she cut away the vines as she continued, "Whenever these are found, I and the other denizens of Comasul try to cut them away as fast as possible. However, sometimes these vines cause months of setbacks to the poor stories that they infected."

"And I take it this heartless is also causing a writer's block for your author?" asked Kuran while putting a hand on the tree. He looked it over and added, "Any clue what its weakpoint might be? Because heartless like these tend to have an exploitable weakness."

As she pulled the last of the vines off of the tree, Heavyn jumped down as she answered Kuran's question. "From what we've noticed, the only thing that the Anti-Muse can't seem to mask is its crest. So, everyone involved with fighting it always tries to aim for that particular spot. The trouble comes from when it notices that we're aiming it- it then shapes itself into a form that puts that crest out of easy reach, then bolts away like a greyhound chasing after a rabbit with steak tied onto its back."

"Not to mention that the one time we DID manage to hit it, a couple new Literatrees managed to sprout including a HUGE one that gave us another OC to help in the fight," the X-blade added as Heavyn aimed towards the pile of brown vines and fired a large fireball at it.

"The crest…" mumbled Kuran. "Perhaps we can mask the intention of aiming at it… by using dark corridors. I am working on a manouver which includes that basic idea."

"Basic idea of what?" asked the X-blade.

"Using dark corridors to redirect long range attacks," answered Kuran. "Like when I throw my knives, they would fly into dark corridors and appear from a different angle to make it more difficult to avoid them."

"Another thing we should consider is trapping that thing so it can't get away." Will said before looking at Heavyn. "But I'm going to go out on a limb and say you guys already tried that at one point."

"Doesn't surprise me… after all this thing is already running around for some time." shrugs Kuran and thought of how to lure it to them. "Which tree is the one with biggest chance to be attacked?"

Thinking for a moment, Heavyn eventually replied, "Right now… probably the newest one."

"And where would that be?" Will asked.

"It's quite a bit away," she answered. "It's also high on a mountain, so I hope that you guys can hike!"

"Heavyn, should I call some of the others to help?" the X-blade inquired.

"Hmm… well, definitely let them know what's happening, and see if they have spotted the Heartless. Other than that, though, I'll let them decide," Heavyn eventually decided.

Kuran nodded and asked, "Can you lead the way?"

Heavyn nodded back, "Of course!"

"Will… how good are you in figuring out how artifacts work?" asked Kuran out of the blue while taking something out which was on the chain he carried around.

"I dont know. What exactly is it?" Will asked.

Kuran showed off an amulet which was a crystal heart with two Kingdom Keys crossing blades. "This amulet has been in the family for generations according to my mother. And Master Ynsadi had recognized it as 'Heart of Crossed Keys'... however he didn't tell me for what it was. He died before getting a chance."

"Hmm...sorry but I've no idea. That thing is probably foreshadowing something, but I guess only time will tell " Will stated. 'Heart of Crossed Keys... I can't quite put my finger on why it sounds so familiar,' he thought to himself.

Kuran nodded and puts it away again while they follow Heavyn to the tree. Once they reached the tree, he asked, "What is this one about?"

"This tree holds the life story of Ariana," Heavyn answered. "However, I'll leave the telling of the tale to her, should she want to share it."

Kuran nodded and got his blade out. "Any ideas how to make sure this thing doesn't smell a trap?"

"Hmm… well, the only thing I can think of is hiding, but considering the location I'm not entirely sure that's a safe idea," she replied.

Kuran looked around and began to think, also glancing towards Will to see if he had an idea.

Will thought about the problem for a moment. "By any chance is there anything we could use as bait?" he asked.

"Besides the tree," added Kuran, knowing that the biggest target would be this tree.

"What about Plunnies? If we gather enough of them, it might present a tempting enough target," offered the X-blade.

"That just might work, X-blade," admitted Heavyn, "However, we're going to need some gloves for Will and Kuran, otherwise they'll be affected by the Plot Effect."

"Well, why don't we call the others in to help with that?"

After a few moments of silence, Heavyn conceded, "You got me there." Looking towards Will and Kuran, she inquired, "Do you guys think that we should have as many people here to help corner the Anti-Muse, or would you prefer as few people as possible?"

"It might be a good idea to consider the extra help, preferably from people who can hold their own," Will suggested.

"I agree with Will," added Kuran, "though a few people who could provide us with support as in medical aid or distration for the heartless would be helpful as well."

"Okay. Do you want to work with fellow OC's, or would you mind a few others as well? Because so far only Ariana has it in her story that she actively seeks out on how to heal beyond Cure spells, but the Copyright village has quite a few characters that are skilled at healing like Madam Pomphrey and Aerith."

"As long they are willing to help, I think it doesn't matter where they come from," replied Kuran.

A large smile filled her face as Heavyn responded, "As you wish." Looking back down towards the X-blade, she ordered, "X-blade, get a hold of Ariana, Naruto, Sakura, Hermione, and Katlyn for sure, along with anyone else who's available and interested in kicking this Heartless' butt once and for all, and let them know what's been going on, along with the current plan."

"With pleasure," the X-blade replied.

"While we wait, we should prepare the battlefield," Heavyn suggested. "Do either of you guys know a levitation spell?"

Kuran sweatdrops and laughed weakly. "I suck at magic… I can manage the basic stuff but no cure… the only ultimate spells I can pull are my Darkshine spells… which are Darkshine Blast and Darkshine Counter."

"The only levitation I can do is controlling my Keyblade with my mind and that's about it." Will said.

"Really?" Heavyn responded with surprise. "Well, then I'll just ask Ariana and Hermione to do it, if they come."

Kuran shouldered his Keyblade as he wondered aloud, "How are we going to be protected from them?"

"Well, Hermione can always banish them away when the battle starts," Heavyn explained, "However, she might choose to do something else with them. I just figured that with Ariana, Katlyn, the newest Literatree, a whole bunch of Plunnies, and me here there would be no way that the Heartless could pass it up."

"Now, all that's left is to lure that little bastard here so we could ambush it… Any ideas?" Will asked.

"Well, I just executed mine," admitted Heavyn.

"My idea contains Dark portals and attacks from unexpected directions," Kuran told him. "I bet it isn't a new one, but it's the best I could come up."

"We do that and we might risk it running away," Will stated before thinking aloud, "What if… we leave a 'bread crumb' trail. We can leave behind a few Plunnies to draw that thing out." He explained.

"While that's not a bad idea, I'm not entirely sure that the Anti-Muse will fall for it," Heavyn replied. "Why don't we wait until everyone else who's participating in the upcoming battle gets here so that we know exactly what skills we have available and how we can best utilize them together."

"Well my blade will be ready," Kuran told her and holds Light Within Darkness out.

"Oh, I'm always ready." Will said with a smirk.

"Hold your horses, you two, let's wait for the others to arrive," Heavyn cautioned.

It took some time but the people they were waiting for were eventually spotted. As they got closer, the two newcomers saw that the group was almost entirely female… except for one oddity. The first thing Kuran noticed was a sort of jackal walking on two legs, having spikes on the back of the front paws and one on the chest. Its yellow body finished off its odd looks.

"What is that?" asked the darkness user.

Heavyn, it seemed however, knew the strange creature as she excitedly exclaimed, "Ryuzaki! Hey, boy, you made it!" Looking over the crowd, she noticed a slight change in who she asked for. "Hey, Katara… where's Naruto?" She asked.

Hello, Heavyn, the Lucario greeted. I was helping Hermione when your call came, so I decided I should come.

"And Naruto couldn't make it because he figured that his skills better off making sure that the Anti-Muse would actually be here and not somewhere else," Katara answered.

"Sounds reasonable," shrugged Kuran but asked while pointing to Ryuzaki, "But mind telling me what this is? I saw something like that in the mind of XSDStitch but nobody ever bothered to tell me what this thing is… or why it is yellow instead of the blue I remember."

"Oh him? He's a shiny Lucario, you know, a Pokemon," Will explained.

The Lucario in question glanced over at the two as he inquired, Hello. Are you newcomers to Comasul?

"Actually, that reminds me," Heavyn responded. As she looked back at the newly arrived group, she announced, "Everyone, this is Will and Kuran, who are NOT going to be fellow denizens of Comasul. They actually have other authors, and they've come to help us out."

"Hello" told Kuran while hodling up a hand in greeting session and holds with the other one his Keyblade.

"A plasure to meet you," Will smiled.

"And now, from left to right… we have Hermione Granger," the bushy-haired witch raised a hand in greeting, "Katara," the waterbending master smiled and nodded, "Sakura Haruno," the kunoichi bowed slightly, "and my fellow OC's Ariana Potter and Katlyn Lune." The two waved as they were introduced, with Ariana's silvery blonde hair and Katlyn's brown hair blowing in the slight wind that had picked up.

"Potter? As in Harry Potter?" asks Kuran

"Yep! I'm his older adopted sister, and this is the tree that holds my story," Ariana answered as she gestured towards the Literatree.

"Hmm I see," Will said before looking over to Katlyn. "So, what's your story?"

"I'm actually from two stories, a one-shot and a multi-chapter," Katlyn replied. "My main goal is to prevent Jenova from causing as much havoc in Gaia as she did in the Final Fantasy VII series." Looking over towards Heavyn, she added, "And are you sure we can trust these two? It seems mighty suspicious that just as it seems the Anti-Muse is winning two strangers show up in Comasul."

"And I thought stories are knowing for the bad/good timing of wonders which turns the tides," retorted Kuran with an ironic tone. "I didn't decide on my own to just show up here. We ended up here after we helped a few people out by turning on a few lighthouses to save a world."

"Yeah, it's weird. Usually I have control over where I go with my Dimensional Corridor, but lately it feels like someone or something is hindering that control," Will sighed.

"Well, it's just as you said, Kuran- good or bad wonders do show up in stories," Sakura retorted as she began to clench her fists warningly. "How do we know that you're not bad?"

Surprisingly, Ryuzaki defended them as he stated, They feel honest, even if Kuran feels remarkably similar to the X-blade.

"Wait, What?" Kuran wondered.

"Yeah what are you talking about?" Will asked.

Exactly what I said- Kuran's aura feels remarkably similar to the X-blade, Ryuzaki replied.

Will looked at Kuran and then at the X-blade. "He's… he's right!" He said with shock.

"So... what exactly does that mean?" Kuran asked.

"Hmm… I can;t really say for sure," Will said.

"Wait, so one of you has sensory powers? And you never noticed this?" Sakura inquired.

"Hey, I didn't notice either," Heavyn defended them. "Although, now that I'm focusing on it I can sense what Ryuzaki's talking about."

Hermione shot a stinging hex at Heavyn as she scolded, "You didn't think to use the skill you got in Alagaesia on them?!"

"Ow, hey! You know I don't use it all that much!"

"Ok, can everyone just calm the fuck down for like a minute or something," Will interfered.

Katara water-whipped him lightly as she admonished, "Language!"

"Let him swear!" Katlyn responded. "You know I do, so why do you have a problem when he does?"

Before an argument could break out between the two brunettes, Ariana bodily placed herself in between them as she interrupted loudly, "OKAY, let's just please get back to why we're here!"

"Look everyone, I understand that this whole situation is very confusing. But here's the thing: we're not here because of the X-blade or anything like that, alright? In fact WE don't even know the real reason why we're here, but since we ARE here we found out that this plane of existence, which need I remind you looks like someone is stuck in a really bad case of creative depression-"

"Hey, are you trying to say that Comasul is like Burtonland?" Heavyn interrupted with amusement in her voice.

"HA! I see what you did there," Will laughed. "Regardless, this place is slowly going to hell and we want to help. So I'll put this bluntly. ,Do you want it or not!"

The newcomers to the area who had regarded the newcomers to Comasul with suspicion looked ashamed at this.

"I'm sorry," Katlyn apologized. "I'll admit, I was afraid that you two were new traps by the Anti-Muse… I lost a good friend and fellow OC that way."

As the others apologized as well, Heavyn clapped her hands. "Okay, now that the unpleasantness is out of the way, let's talk strategy!"

"I got an idea that just might work," Will said before pulling out a black board and drawing his idea.

"He's got hammerspace!" Heavyn whispered to Katlyn, "I'm definitely jealous now."

"Shush!" Katlyn whispered back.

"Ok so we know that this Anti-Muse has a taste for ideas and plot devices, right? The idea is to gather ALL the Plunnies to this area. Hopefully, this will tempt this thing to where it will eventually come here where we will ambush it. BUT, there's also going to be a team with a few Plunnies themselves to get its attention, and if we're lucky at least weaken it as well." Will explained. "Any questions?"

Kuran raised his hand. "Where did you get the black board?"

"What black board?" The group looked over to see that it was gone.

"Again, totally jealous," Heavyn whispered. Then, she added more loudly, "I was thinking that Ariana and Hermione could gather up the Plunnies. Ryuzaki, since you're here as well, then could you be part of the team that stays with the Plunnies? I know that you're not affected by them, hence why I'm asking."

I can do that, Ryuzaki agreed, inclining his head.

The two girls in question glanced at each other, then back at Heavyn. "We can gather the Plunnies… but I don't think it's wise to get ALL of them," remarked Hermione. "After all, what if the Anti-Muse gets to them before we can stop it?"

"Hm… why don't you get the Plunnies that have been recorded, then?" suggested Heavyn. "That way, even if the Heartless gets them then we can always bring them back."

"Good idea," Ariana stated.

Katara looked over at Will as she asked, "What about the rest of us?"

"I think you, Sakura, and I are going to see if we can get its attention. Kuran, it might be a good idea for you to wait with Ryuzaki."

"Alright," Kuran nodded.

"When the Anti-Muse gets here we ALL need to be there for the ambush," Will also stated.

"Well, Hermione and I can Disillusion people… Katara could create a lake and hide a couple people in there using Waterbending… Sakura?" Ariana mused aloud.

"I'll hide underground with Earth Jutsu," offered up the kunoichi.

"Ok, let's gather up as many Plunnies as we can." Will said.

Kuran nodded and told him, "Once we are done here you have to explain a few things to me that you did during your explanation phase."

"Okay, then while he's doing that we're off to get Plunnies," Ariana stated as she and Hermione left.

Kuran took a pair of gloves out and went to help to get a few nearby plunnies, hoping his gloves would help him. However, he paused and asked, "Say… how do the plunnies become these trees? By transformation?"

It's a combination of evolution and nesting, as far as we've figured out, Ryuzaki explained. I've watched a one-shot come into being, and the Plunnie never strayed from it's chosen spot. Then, it buried it's feet and evolved into a Literatree.

"It's even more special if the Literatree has an OC," Heavyn added. "I was there for many OC's births, and it's quite a sight to see."

"And if an OC is born without story? Like for a RP?" asks Kuran

Katlyn shrugged as she answered, "Well, we haven't had one born like that yet, but it could happen… I'm not sure how they would come into being."

"Maybe...they come into being as a type of egg that hatches into a Pluunie," Will said.

"Wait, your Plunnies come from eggs?" inquired Sakura. "Ours just… show up."

"I'm not saying they do, but what if that's how Pluunies really show up- as an egg, a idea that sparks creativity," Will explained.

The remaining denizens of Comasul glance at each other.

"You know… he might be right," Katlyn admitted slowly.

"We should keep a lookout for eggs, then, for the next time Plunnies get out of control," Katara stated.

"Now that I think of it a Tree is actually a surprisingly accurate way of portraying a story. All it takes is one small idea and from it you can mold it into something bigger and let it take its roots," Will thought out loud.

"Anything else we should look for while we are at it? After all there must be a source for the eggs as well, even it is something mythical only existing here. I mean… an idea must have a trigger."

"We don't know," answered Sakura. "We've tried looking for the birthplace of Plunnies, but we haven't found it yet. We're not even sure they COME from eggs… it's just a theory that makes a surprising amount of sense."

Especially when you consider how we Pokemon are born, Ryuzaki added.

"In the games, manga and anime at least" chuckled Kuran. "In stories it can vary."

Katlyn and Heavyn chuckle along as Katlyn remarked, "Well, the games, manga, and anime are canon, and if there's one thing that we've noticed about Comasul is that when Literatrees sprout they try to keep within the rules of canon unless it specifies otherwise."

"Like how Ariana can be Harry's sister," added Heavyn.

"Or how I can actually try and prevent canon events from happening… come to think of it, are there any OC's that don't bend the rules of canon?"

"Background OC's, maybe," answered Katara.

Looking over at the group, Sakura interrupted, "Aren't we supposed to prepare the area for the Heartless?"

"Sorry just lost in thought," Will said.

"And I was the cause," chuckled Kuran while picking a Plunnie up.

"Did the gloves work?" inquired the X-blade.

"Well they're working so far," Will said holding up his Plunnie.

"Where to place them?" went Kuran hin, holding a few now and one wanted to hop on him… in fact… for some reason many of the nearby ones seems to try to climb on the keyblade user.

Heavyn tried not to laugh at the sight as she answered, "Wherever you'll think is best."

"The Literatree," Will stated.

As Hermione and Ariana returned with a plethora of Plunnies hovering between them, Ariana burst out with giggles at the amount of Plunnies that were trying to climb onto Kuran.

"Aww, they like you!" she commented in between giggles.

"So where to place them?" asked Kuran again and added, "and how without them climbing back on me?"

Hermione solved that by summoning the ones that were already clambering all over Kuran. She then banished them gently towards the roots of the tree as she offered, "What about here?"

"That will work." Will said.

"At least," told Kuran and straightened up "Something is coming."

"The Anti-Muse came early! HIDE!" Heavyn whispered loudly.

As one, the group began to scatter. Ryuzaki jumped up into the tree and positioned himself right above the Plunnies, while Ariana and Hermione disillusioned Katlyn, Heavyn, Kuran, and themselves. Meanwhile, Katara grabbed Sakura and Will and dragged them towards a dip in the rocks. Bending the water out of her canteen, she used it to surround them and created the illusion of a lake.

"Wait, where did you get this much water?" Sakura asked as she got over her indignation at not following her original idea.

"Hermione enchanted my canteen so that it's never-ending," Katara answered.

Kuran stayed close to Hermione and asked "Anything I should know while we look out for each other's back? Aside from the fact you have a distrust in me?"

"Ariana can use a sword, but is more familiar with magic," she answered. "I, on the other hand, use only magic. The last time I tried to use a sword, it was a disaster."

"Leave the swords to me," Kuran told her and got his Keyblade and a Sword of Darkness out.

"Well so much for hunting it down. Were going to have to move straight to the ambush," Will said as he summoned his Keyblade. "But that's fine by me."

"Shh," Sakura said not unkindly, "Water can still emit sound."

Together, the group watched as the Heartless warily made its way into the clearing. The Heartless had chosen to take on a leopard-like shape this time, with red rosettes on a black background. As black mist swirled around its paws, it sniffed the air, obviously being very cautious about the amount of Plunnies surrounding the newest Literatree.

Kuran looked at the Heartless for the emblem, planning to get a few daggers on it once a chance is given… or even a complete sword. He prayed in his head that this beast would finally get into a position where it cannot escape when they are moving against it, even though right now from where he was he could see that he was in a perfect postion to attack its emblem. However he knew that if he would attack now, then he would leave a wide open escape route for the Anti-Muse.

'Alright, just a little bit closer,' Will thought as the Heartless lurked closer.

As two human-shaped pieces of air snuck over towards the Heartless, they were able to see the emblem in the middle of the Heartless' back. Connecting to the X-blade, Hermione and Ariana passed the message on to the other members that were hiding. They, in turn, whispered its location to Will and Kuran.

"Just waiting on your signal," Heavyn also whispered to Kuran.

Kuran got ready and as the heartless were in a good position he told her, "Now!" Then he charged forward with his blades and threw the darkness sword at the emblem.

The Heartless quickly saw the blade flying at it and jumped out of the way, just barely getting a scratch on its emblem.

"Damn that thing is fast!" Will said.

Kuran got knives in both of his hands and called out, "Dodge!" while throwing them. As they flew towards the heartless they began to multiply. Kuran assumed it was impossible for it to dodge all of them… what he forgot in his calculation was this: these daggers don't differentiate between friend and foe.

Meanwhile, the residents of Comasul launched their own attack. As the majority of them dodged Kuran's knives, Katara waterbended a wall around the area to prevent the Heartless from escaping once more. Ryuzaki, meanwhile, jumped down and launched an Aura Sphere at it, forcing the Heartless to dodge… right into one of Kuran's knives. Before the knife could strike, however, it quickly shrank down to the size of a normal house-cat.

Will quickly grabbed it. "HA, gotcha now!" He said in triumph...only to have the cat-like Heartless jump on his head furiously scratching his face. "GAHHH! GET IT OFF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF!"

"CHA!" Sakura shouted as she punched the Heartless. "The thing's just like Tora," she grumbled as the Heartless flew quite a ways away.

"Stubborn and refusing to die?" asked Kuran while trying out a few of his weak spells.

"Told you the thing had a ridiculous amount of health," Heavyn replied.

Kuran shrugged and swung an ax as the cat was on the ground, managing to hit it on the tail "And you warned us about its speed."

The Heartless yowled in pain before transforming into a Rottweiler-esqe dog. Snarling, it rushed towards Katara, obviously hoping to take her out in order to take down the wall of water preventing its escape. Katlyn ran to cut it off, only for her to be knocked aside.

The Heartless jumped at the Waterbender only to be met by Will's foot causing it to fall back.

"Heh well what do you know now you actually look like a bitch," he smirked before running after the Heartless.

Kuran grabbed his Keyblade and pinned the heartless before he and Will slammed their blades into the emblem, trying to hold it so Heavyn could give a blow as well… or at least give her the chance since this beast was now struggling so hard they could be sent off flying any time.

Luckily, they were helped by Hermione and Ariana, who shot off simultaneous Petrificus Totalus spells. "Now, Heavyn!" Ariana shouted as their spells connected.

The X-blade Wielder, who was sadly just out of range due to her dodging of Kuran's blades, was immediately grabbed by Sakura and launched towards the Heartless. When it looked like she was going to fall, Ryuzaki helped her along.

"FOR ALIA AND KUNIYE!" she shouted as the point of the X-blade was aimed for the dead center of the Heartless.

The X-blade dove deep into the Emblem as the Heartless howled in pain and collapsed. The creature was suddenly covered in light that burst into tiny sparkles that spread across the entire area.

"Well, that was anticlimatic, considering how much trouble that thing gave us," Katlyn commented. The other Comasul denizens nodded their agreement.

"But at least we avenged the two OC's that were grieviously attacked by it!" the X-blade remarked.

"What in God's name is going on here?!" shouted an unknown voice.

Kuran turned to see who was talking, along with the rest of the fighters. Standing there with her arms crossed was a short plump woman with long wavy dark-brown hair, brown eyes covered with plastic-framed glasses, and a frown.

The residents of Comasul, especially Katlyn, Ariana, and Heavyn, gasped.

"Who is that?" asked Kuran while putting his blade on the shoulder and had his knives dissapear in black smoke.

"It's Colleen!" Heavyn answered, awe filling her voice.

Kuran turned to Will who only shrugged.

Glancing towards the two newcomers, Colleen studied them. "You two don't look like anyone I'd created… who are you?"

"Anyone YOU created!?" Will asked before turning to Heavyn. "Ok, who is she exactly?"

She' is Colleen Marie Sullivan, answered Ryuzaki, the one who created everything that lives in Comasul.

"I am Kuran… Kuran Yuma and this is Will," was Kuran's reply. "And about your question… we… somehow stumbled in."

"How can you stumble into my imagination?" she inquired. "Did you pull a South Park, or something?"

"Interdimensional travel," Will summed up.

"Long and complicated," added Kuran. "And we thought we help around by dealing with this Anti-Muse Heartless."

Raising an eyebrow, Colleen remarked, "I'm surprised that you two show no reaction to the fact that this is my imagination… and Anti-Muse Heartless?"

"Yeah, you know the thing that put Alia and Kunyie into an irreversible coma and kept trying to destroy your stories?" the X-blade explained.

Glancing towards the X-blade, Colleen raised her other eyebrow with surprise. "You mean that the Anti Muse took on a physical form here?"

As one, everybody nodded.

"Well, whaddya know…" she murmured.

"Well, multiple forms really. Real pain it the ass," Will stated.

Kuran nodded to Wills statement as he added, "A lot… I mean it dodged one of my attacks by turning into a cat." Several moments passed before Kuran realized, "Wait… did you say… YOUR imagination? We are INSIDE YOUR HEAD?"

Giggling, Colleen couldn't help but comment, "Delayed reaction, much? But yes, you're actually in my head. The name Comasul is actually derived from the first two letters of my first, middle, and last name. I'm actually meditating to try and see if I can update some of my stories… imagine my surprise when I found you, instead." Pausing for a moment, she then moaned, "And I just rhymed, dangit!"

"Well, I'm sure it will be a lot easier now that the Anti-Muse is gone," Will smiled.

Her eyes dimming slightly with sadness, Colleen was compelled to correct him. "While you did beat it back- and thank you so much for your help with that- the Anti-Muse can never truly be gone."

"WHAT?" Ariana shouted. "You can't mean that?!"

Walking over to her newest creation, Colleen laid a hand on Ariana's shoulder as she explained, "The Anti-Muse will always be part of any mind that creates art, whether that be writing, drawing, or however else they express themselves. It's a burden that we're always willing to take. However we may curse at it, we know that can never truly be rid of it forever. However, you did beat it back enough that I can do more than just pick at stories… to which I am grateful for."

"Glad we could help," Will smiled.

"Better we leave now before we accidentally mess up some your ideas," chuckled Kuran. "Thought I wouldn't mind being able to join Heavyn in a different battle… the X-Blade facinates me somehow now that I see it." Then he turned to Will. "And no! I won't be so mad to try to forge it. The others would stop me if I try to lay hands on the princesses and I bet Sora would even kill me if I try something on Kairi… if she isn't beating me with summons first."

"Or her own Keyblade," Colleen chuckled. "And I'll have to see if I can find both of your stories! You two seem interesting enough… and who knows? Maybe sometime in the future you and Heavyn can meet once more." Pausing for a moment, she then remarks, "After all, I'm always on the lookout for who can show up in her epilogue… and the sequel, too. I'll have to ask your authors for permission though."

"Knowing mine he wouldn't mind and even would ask if he hears of this" Kuran told her, and then he stopped. "Wait… everything I am saying is written by him in this crossover chapter!"

"It just means that he's definitely alright with the idea… as well as mine," Will stated.

At this, Colleen laughed outright. "Oh, I LOVE self-aware characters! Well, when I get to that point in Heavyn's story, I'll contact them."

"It's more like he loves breaking the fourth wall with an slegdehammer" corrected Kuran. "I hope Moneybags isn't here… this guy always hands the bill of the repairs to me instead to XSDStitch."

Katlyn inquired, "Who's Moneybags?" Glancing over her fellow residents, as one they all shrugged. When she glanced over at her creator, she too shrugged.

"A Spyro character who is an money grabbing bear," came the explanation.

"Spyro? Wow… the last time I played that was…" Colleen trailed off, obviously trying to remember when that time was. Snapping her fingers, she finished, "I played that in fourth grade, that's how long ago it was. And it wasn't even the full game, it was a demo built into another game, if I remember correctly."

"You know if you're still haveing some kind of trouble, you could always re-play old childhood games for inspration." Will said.

Kuran shrugged as he added, "Or roleplay… that's where my author got some of his best ideas."

"I'll keep that in mind," Colleen agreed. "Now… do you two have a way out, or would you like me to imagine one for you?"

"Nah that's all right," Will said to her.

"I have to do something back home" Kuran said. "But Will has the door out here… would you be so kind?"

Will opened a Dark Corridor before turning it into a Dimensional Corridor. "Unfortunately I still have no idea what's disturbing my control over this, but assuming that we can make it to our intended destination I think I know someone who might help," Will said.

Peering into the Dimensional Corridor, Colleen said with awe, "That looks like the Time Vortex from 'Doctor Who'!"

"Doctor who?"

"Exactly" Will smirked.

Snickering at the 50 year-old joke, Colleen looked over to Will as she offered, "You know… considering that you were able to make it into my imagination you might be able to find the Doctor. Maybe he can help with your control."

"We'll keep that in mind" Kuran told her. "Until we meet again… however it will be."

"See ya, Will and Kuran!" Heavyn responded, her fellow residents waving their good-byes.

Smiling, Colleen raised a hand in farewell as she added, "I hope you two find whatever you're looking for!"

The two Keybearers entered the dimensional corridor and it closed behind them, to let them out on the other hand… where and whenever it is…


Kuran belongs to me!

Will belongs to Fantasyfan101
