Chapter 6: Hearts and Souls

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the characters involved except the Guardians

Gatescholar and the army appeared in a dark city. Dim lights poured off the building's neon lights.

"Where are we now Gatescholar?" Kidd asked

"The city that never was…" Gatescholar answered looking around. Shadows of the city suddenly came to life and formed into dark creatures.

"What are they?" Naruto asked releasing a kunai from his sleeve

"Heartless. Make sure they are taken care of." Gatescholar replied as he summoned a staff of light

Kidd launched a barrage of blasts incinerating the heartless. More emerged from the shadows

"Where's Fear and his goons?" Kyoichi asked as he slashed one of the heartless in half watching it disintegrate back into the shadows.

"Good question." Darkness replied as she slashed through three of them.

"Were you looking for me?" Fear's voice echoed off the buildings.

Gatescholar looked up to see Fear was surrounded tailed by 4 figures in black cloaks.

"Fear! We shouldn't be here!" Gatescholar shouted at him

Fear chuckled sinically "So you say Gatescholar, what about the locations you've chosen?" he asked

"That has nothing to do with this. This is a locked point in time. None should interfere with this!" Gatescholar shouted his teeth gritted tightly

"Things can be unlocked Gatescholar, so to speak." Fear said as he turned his finger in the air

"Damn you Fear!" Gatescholar shouted at him as more heartless appeared.

"What are we doing here Gatescholar, they're beginning to overrun us!" Kidd shouted as she shot a large cluster of Neoshadows, turning on the spot and releasing a blast into a group of Darkballs.

Maka slashed through a shadow as a large body dropped down behind her in time for Black Star to slice through it with the enchanted sword.

Darkness and Light grabbed each other's hands and twirled releasing a blast of Dark and Light in a tornado of twilight aura. Incinerating anything in its path.

"Where are the others?" Luffy asked as he swung his arm through a shadow

"I don't know." Franky replied as he released a cannonball into a cluster of heartless

"Xemnas… It's time." Fear said as he watched the Dark Guardians dart down the side of the building and into the fray.

One of the black-clad figure threw his hood back. He had long spiky gray hair and tan skin. He lifted his arms slowly and four miniature portals of twilight opened releasing a barrage of enemies ranging from Samurai to Dancers

"Reinforcements!" Twilight shouted as he saw the Nobodies and Dark Guardians descend.

Gatescholar turned and slammed the butt of his staff into the head of a Shadow transforming the weapon as he pole-vaulted over it. He dropped to the street with a Great-sword made of Light, he darted forward and lifted the blade above his head bringing it down on a Samurai. He was quickly overwhelmed by the nobodies. Fear laughed loudly as he watched Gatescholar become consumed.

"This is too easy!" he shouted

"Outta my way!" Another voice echoed through the streets.

Fear immediately traced it to its own and watched as a group of four rushed into the heat of the battle and help Gatescholar eliminate the nobodies.

Fear growled "Damn! I thought you said they wouldn't interfere!" He shouted at Xemnas.

"I didn't say they wouldn't interfere, I just said that we'd try our best to stop them."

"Damn. Then I'm getting in there." Fear glared down at the battlefield before leaping into the fray

"Xigbar." Xemnas said calmly turning to one of the three remaining figures

"Got it." He removed his hood revealing a middle-aged man with an eye-patch over his right eye. He held his arms out to his sides and a pair of arrow-guns appeared

He moved toward the edge of the building and set them down firing on anyone he could get his sights on.

Gatescholar ducked a slash from Fear and attempted to attack him, but Fear deflected the blow. Light swung her staff at Fear's head cracking his skull. He stumbled back letting Gatescholar finish him.
