Author's Note: My friend told me that j2ktime stories are lame. /: So, I decided to stop. I'll just make this a part of the story. Happy weekends everyone! I might not update for a while, I found out that I have two projects due next week. And I didn't even start on them! This is my last chapter for now—well maybe, it depends if I end the joker thing now. If not, I'll try my best to update as soon as possible.

Leave reviews please,! :]

I'm still deciding between the Roxas and Sora villain thing. So please keep voting!

Roxas – 2
Sora – 1

And oh. Okay, I know one of the characters here are in an anime show. So I'll probably change something later on. The character is from Zoku Sayona Zetsubo Sensei – Her name is Miku Hatsune; but yeah, she'll disappear later on. ;p This is all about Vanitas and Ventus anyway 3

BACK TO THE STORY ;D

{ Chapter 4 – Enter and lead, vocaloid! ;

Vanitas walked through a vortex that had card patterns flowing like a river on the floor. Those cards led him to a big door that was closed in front of him. He stared at it for a moment and studied it carefully. There was a familiar lock on it, and then he tilted his head on the right. After he thought about it, he summoned his keyblade and focused on the lock.

You were not made to love, the voice reminded him again. The black haired boy growled,

"Shut up," he said.

A loud ka-chik was heard causing the door to open. Wires, memory chips, and cards came out of nowhere to crab him, but before they snatched him away, Vanitas got ready and fought, cutting the wires down and slamming the chips and cards on the floor. They all shatter into pieces and Vanitas smiled to himself, glad that nothing bad happened.

Something was wrong though, it was too easy. He kept his guard up and entered the door.

Pain strikes through his head and he groaned in pain. He loses his vision and tried his best to breathe. He breathes shallowly, becoming unconscious.

He swore, for the moment, he saw Ventus smile at him, as if in a dream and then everything turns all black.

" Standing here, I spun these words
soundlessly, the word shall vanish
yet inside the darkness is a light of hope! "

A beautiful voice sang, the tone was high but light and soft. Vanitas rubbed his eyes, trying to open them, but something was keeping them from opening. The voice started to scream, and heavy base started to fill his surroundings. He groaned to himself, and covered his ears, but the scream was too deadly and sad.

" Your heart dances in the air as it disappears,
My words will stop time
Soundlessly, the world vanishes,
Yet, inside the darkness is a light of hope! "

Something was surrounding Vanitas, and he didn't know what it was, but he knew it was something that made him feel heavy. He started to transform, and he can finally breathe again. He's wearing a suit, as if he's in a game control room. His armor was black and his suit was covered in complex patterns of red computer circuitry that glows bright. His boots, and his helmet (that looks kinda like a hockey helmet) also had the same similar pattern.

He knew then that he was in another world, a world he's never been to before, and he's curious to find out what's in store for him, but first he needed to find that voice. The voice sang that the world will vanish. The star led him here, Ventus must be here—no, he IS here. Vanitas will find a way to get him back.

But how does he know where to go? Where is the joker hiding? He needed company quick, and that voice was nearby.

As he sprinted pass the towers and houses, he realized one thing—this world is a cyber world. There were robots flying everywhere and the people there all walked in harmony, they were all headed towards on place; and he looked around for someone who was walking the opposite direction.

There, he saw a girl wearing a black cloak just standing there, very different compared to the ones he just saw. Her hood was up, but he walked towards her anyway, just to check if she's a girl.

"You don't look like one of the people here," he said seriously with a small smirk, "Do you know this place?"

She just shook her head in response.

Vanitas didn't want to waste anymore of his precious time, and he knew talking to this girl will get him nowhere. He heard the voice again.

" standing here, I spun these words
soundlessly, the world shall vanish "

Just when he looked up, the voice started to scream. The voice didn't get to finish its song; and so, Vanitas wore a blank expression. Something was wrong in this world; the people did their thing as if nothing happened, as if though, they didn't even know that the voice was there.

"Do you hear that voice?" the girl in the cloak asked, "The people here cannot hear it,"

Vanitas' golden eyes widened, "Why can't they? The voice is so clear and loud enough for them to hear!"

The girl took off her cloak, revealing her beautiful black hair with the length all the way to her shoulder and deep blue eyes that looks similar to Ventus. Pain strikes Vanitas heart, he missed the boy already—he knows he shouldn't but he really truly does. He sighed to himself and studied her. She wore a blank expression, just like he did a while ago. Darkness was also within her, and he can feel it.

"The joker stole all their hearts, ever since he disappeared. He sold his heart; therefore, this world was given to him. The hearts that he has stolen, it isn't enough to keep him alive, so everytime that voice starts to sing; he knew that it was time for him to depart this place and go to another world, to find a pure heart that will make him live forever."

He thought for a moment and looked up at the sky. There was no moon, and sun, That's true, when the girl explained everything to him, everything made a little bit of sense. The people here in this world knows nothing but doing the things they were told to do, because they had no heart.

Vanitas froze on his spot and ignored the voice that started to kill him inside.

"That voice—is it connected to the joker?"

The girl shook her head. "The voice created this world, but since the voice was only visible to the ones that believed in love; this world vanished. Now that joker has bought this world; the voice does not accept it, it sings, for the world to vanish forever, and for the joker to return the hearts to the rightful owner."

"Who're you?" Vanitas asked quietly, changing the subject right away.

The girl smiled slightly, "I thought you'd never ask. I'm Xion."

He rasied his brows, he never heard of her name before. "I'm Vanitas,"

"Nice to meet you, I'm also in search for the voice."

"Oh, well then, I shall accompany you."

Xion laughed softly and started to walk towards the east, going through darker passages so that they won't get caught. Vanitas followed quietly, keeping his guard up just in case something or someone might attack them. The silence started to fill them, and Vanitas heard a very disturbing noise, and realized the voice had stopped singing.

The two of them looked around, and felt the presence that someone was behind them. They turned around to check who it was, and their eyes widened.

It was a girl, she was glowing. She glowed white, her hair was blue-green, and her hair was long enough to reach the floor, but she wore ponytails. Her skirt, and boots were based on blue-green and gray, The only thing they didn't notice was that her clothes were synchronized with an unknown source.

She wore a mic on her right ear side and wireless earphones were stuck on her ears. Her eyes were empty, and her expression was sad. Robots and other unknown species started to fly around her as if they served her. Xion stared in awe and watched as the robots designed a conversation to their owner.

"Shizuka ni," she commanded. The robots silenced.

Vanitas stared at her, and watched as she walked towards them and as she became closer, she puts her hand on her chest, and closed her eyes.

"He destroyed my world," she sang quietly.

Ventus woke up and sat up as quick as he can to scan the whole room. He could've sworn that someone was beside him. The room was dark and very cold. He hugged himself and reached for the blanket and covered himself with it. The window was closed but he looked outside, there was another city, all the way on the other side, and thunder was striking down on them.

The place he was at was surrounded by tall trees, and there were a lot of robots flying everywhere.

He trembled at the thought where he might die again, but he game himself a chance.

Just for Vanitas he thought to himself.

Without thinking of the consequences, he opened the window, and jumped right out. The robots looked up as the blonde boy positioned himself for a safe landing. When the robots rushed towards him, he summoned his keyblade and fought back.

Unlike Vanitas who wore a suit that was designed for him to fit in this world, Ventus just ran down the forest. He ran for his life, holding unto the keyblade and leaped from one tree to another. He needed to get to that city.

But just before he reached the end of the forest, a voice laughed out of the blue.

"Did you really think you'd get away that easily, Ven?"

The voice was the creator of this world, and she was forced to transform into a nobody. She told Vanitas and Xion how Joker took over the world and her palace, deliberately causing her to do nothing but to sing. Every once in a while 1% of the world fades to ashes, but when the voice sings the chant for sacrifice, the joker goes to another world to take another heart and bring the world back to is normal form.

Vanitas flexed his muscles and gripped on his hands tight. Ventus was one of a kind and he had a special power; his heart was strong, and his heart was connected to everyone. The joker wanted his heart to become more powerful. The black haired boy won't let that happened.

"I am Miku Hatsune," she said as she looked up. "I ruled this world."

"And you will again," Vanitas said with a smirk. "We just need to take the source of the joker's success."

Xion raised her brows, "Where's the source?"

"My friend's heart…" he said softly.

Miku walked out of the darkness and she turned towards her friends. She smiled sadly and looked up at the sky, "This is not my world any longer," she said quietly.

She turned to Vanitas who was thinking of Ventus. The raven haired boy held unto the star shard and her eyes widened. T-That's… she thought Mickey's…

Her expression softened and she rested her hands against Vanitas' shoulders. "Can you do me a favor, Vanitas?"

He looked up and shrugged. "Anything for you."

"When we have defeated the Joker," she started,e "Promise me that you and your friend will uninstall me."

Xion froze, and so did Vanitas. "What? All this time, when you can finally rule yoru world, you want to disappear?"

"Don't do this my queen, please!" Xion said.

"You were sent by your mother, yes?" Miku asked Xion who nodded. "Then you must obey my orders and uninstall me, for this world was made by mistake."

"How did you know I was sent by my mother though…?" the younger girl asked.

"I've always been watching you Xion," Miku replied, "I knew you would stay until you were able to reach me."

Vanitas gave it a real good thought. "Why would you want to disappear, why be uninstalled? You're a human being, you deserve to live."

"I am not human," she said as she paused with every single word.

The raven haired boy sighed to himself, everything was getting even more complicated. All he wanted to do was kill Ventus, and now, he has to kill the joker to save Ventus, THEN uninstall this very beautiful lady.

He's only with Ventus because of this stupid shard, he never wanted to be his friend.

"If you're not human, why do you sing?" he asked.

Xion tugged on his sleeve. "Don't ask personal questions!" she whispered to him.

He couldn't take his question back. Vanitas needed to know why he's doing this. Miku nodded to the both of them and faced the other way. She didn't want to show them the sad expression on her face.

"I am a vocaloid," she started, "I copy a human being, just like you guys. I am, created to sing, but I had considered myself as a nobody. I have discovered that I had no heart… And because of that, so did my people. I want them to forget about me, and I want them to start anew."

She cares about her people, Vanitas thought to himself. He looked at Xion who had tears streaming down her face, and he held her close. "Don't cry," he told the girl comfortingly.

He thought of Ventus, who thought of what he would do if Ventus disappears. He would be sad…

Does Vanitas want to kill him then?

He's having second thoughts about that already.

The raven haired boy closed his eyes. "If this will make you happy, I'm up for it."

Miku looked up then turned, giving them a smile. "I will lead you, and show you how to defeat Joker. Your friend…. Cannot get out of there very easily."

"Why?"

"Felly was my servant. She was brainwashed by the joker… She is now guarding the forest with other creatures. It is very dangerous out there. So I will gain access, for you guys to be able to pass through the forest. But be quick! For I am no longer strong enough," she commanded.

Xion and Vanitas nodded.

"For the queen," Xion said to herself.

"For Ventus," Vanitas said.

Miku nodded and ran towards the forest. The two followed the queen as they head towards the palace.

Wait for me Ventus… Vanitas thought.

Vanitas: Great, really no juicy parts.
Ventus: Well at least you get to kiss me when you save me. :3
Vanitas: Tch, that's the last thing I want.
Author: HEY!
Ventus: :(... Right...
Vanitas: N-No! Don't take it the wrong way. I do like you.
Ventus: I like you too :3
