As Ash was sleeping after just winning the hearts of not one but four beautiful girls in one day, Ash began dreaming of a time that they will one day learn how to wield a Keyblade of their own. As the sun began to rise, he began to wake up, only to feel something heavy on him. He looked down and he saw Blake all snuggled up with him under a blanket on top of his blanket with her arms around his neck and her head on his collarbone.
"Thank goodness that it wasn't a dream, but a reality." Ash whispered as he gently rubbed her head. Ash decided to get up while carrying Blake bridal style. He took her to her bed and laid her down. Just as he pulled away, her eyes began to open slightly.
"Morning sleepyhead." Blake whispered with a smile.
"Morning my little kitty." Ash said as he kissed her on the forehead.
"Hope you didn't mind me sleeping on you. I've dreamed of doing that one day. This was the perfect opportunity." Blake said as she sat up and looked up to him.
Ash chuckled a bit. "I will admit, I was surprised to see it happen, especially since we just gotten together." Ash said as he scratched his head.
"By the way, where is Pikachu? Isn't he always on your shoulder?" Blake pointed out. This got Ash curious as well.
"Yeah where is he?" Ash asked himself. Ash began using his aura vision to track him down. He spotted Pikachu in the kitchen.
"Not again. He's probably raiding the ketchup storage again." Ash said as he grabbed his coat. He summoned Divine Elemental and aimed it at the door, creating a portal in the process.
"See you guys at breakfast." Ash said to Blake, who was trying to hold back a laugh, but failing. She watched as he walked through the portal and disappeared.
Another portal opened in the kitchen, and Ash walked out with an angry look on his face. He saw Pikachu sitting on a table looking out the window.
"Pikachu, where've you been? I've been looking for you." Ash asked as he walked towards him. Pikachu turned around and jumped onto his usual spot.
"Pika Pi Pikachu Pi Pi Pi." Pikachu was saying as he pointed to the sky.
"Lord Arceus wanted to see you? No wonder I couldn't find you. What did he want?" He asked.
"Pikachu, pika." Pikachu stated as he covered his mouth.
"I see. Well, let's get out of here. Don't want anyone catching us here like what happened the LAST TIME!" Ash yelled at him.
"Piikaahaha." Pikachu spoke as he scratched his head with a blush of embarrassment on his face.
Ash and Pikachu left Beacon and Ash summoned the rest of the team.
"Alright guys, today we going to commence our usual morning exercise. We have an hour before breakfast, and I want to get as much as we can beforehand. I'm sensing a lot will be happening this week, especially since there is some sort of dance coming up. Understood?" Ash asked his team.
They roared with agreement. But before they began, Pikachu jumped off of his head and nodded to the group. They all turned to Ash and starred.
"What is it? Is something wrong?" Ash asked. Suddenly, the ground began to shake and a blinding flash of light filled the sky. An aurora borealis burst out of a portal as Arceus himself emerged and began to fly right above Beacon. Arceus then eyed Ash as he began to descend towards him. As he landed, Ash and his team bowed before him.
"Ash, your training is complete. You have now learned how to master the power of your Keyblade. But there is one more test you must achieve, the Mark of Mastery." Arceus said. Ash looked up to him with a questionable look on his face.
"The Mark of Mastery?" He asked as he began to stand up.
"The Mark of Mastery is the final test to see if you really are worthy of becoming….a Keyblade Master. You will be paired up with another Keyblade wielder for this test." Arceus said as another portal opened up. A boy emerged around Ash's age with long spiky hair with a Keyblade in hand.

"Ash, I like you to meet Sora. He, too, has been chosen to wield the Keyblade. The time has come for the both of you to show us the Mark of Mastery." Arceus stated.
"Hiya, I've heard so much about you. This is gonna be interesting, to finally get a second chance to become a master." Sora said as he walked towards Ash.
"Looks like you and I have a lot in common. When do we begin?" Ash asked as he summoned his Keyblade. Sora stared at it with amazement.
"We will begin shortly. It appears we have an audience." Arceus said as he eyed at the entrance to Beacon as students and staff began watching. This gave Ash an idea.
"I know the perfect spot for the test." Ash said to Arceus.
After about an hour and half of preparing, Ash and Sora walked into the amphitheater with their Keyblades in hand, ready for the test.
"By the way, what's with the dark coat? You working undercover for the Organization?" Sora asked.
Ash looked confused. "What Organization? Lord Arceus gave this coat to me to protect myself from the darkness here, especially with the creatures of Grimm around." Ash answered. Sora cocked his head with a raised eyebrow.
As they entered the stage, they eyed the hunters in training around them. Ash saw Team RWBY watching him, with Team JNPR and Coco and Velvet with their team, Team CFVY, next to them.
Suddenly, a portal opened up, and two figures emerged. One of them was a tall man that looked like he has been training all of his life, with a long armor pauldron covering his left arm. The other was a blunette woman that was much shorter than the man with practically the same armor pauldron, but covering both arms.
"My name is Master Terra." The man stated.
"My name is Master Aqua. We are here today because you two stand before us as candidates for the Mark of Mastery." Aqua stated.
"This will put you two to the test with the strength of your hearts. There is no winner, nor loser. Meaning both of you may prevail, or fail. Are you both ready?" Terra asked.
"Yes." Both Sora and Ash said.
"Very well, then let us begin." Aqua said as she summoned her Keyblade and fired a spell that summoned multiple orbs of light.

Ash and Sora summoned their Keyblades and began attacking the orbs. Ash noticed that after some of their attacks, they began ricocheting off the walls towards them at a faster speed. Ash and Sora were holding their own as they destroyed the last remaining orbs of light.
Meanwhile in the audience, a girl with amber eyes was watching the two with a sinister grin.
"Looks like they were right about him all along. Soon, that Keyblade will belong to us." She said in a seductive tone.
"So what's the plan Cinder?" A man with dark grey hair next to her asked.
"After he becomes a Keyblade Master, we are going to try to befriend him into hoping that he can share that power with us. I want you and Emerald to get on his good side, and earn his trust." Cinder explained.
"That shouldn't be a problem." A girl with green hair on Cinder's other side said. Unbeknownst to them, Emerald was watching Ash with a worried expression.
"I hope you can help me Ash." She thought to herself.
Back on the stage, Ash and Sora destroyed the last orb, receiving cheers from around them.
"Well done. The first test is complete, and it was a remarkable performance. Now it's time for the final test. The both of you will now face each other in combat. Remember, there are no winners. There is only a test of heart. Now, take your positions on opposite sides of the stage." Terra told them as he summoned his Keyblade.

Ash walked to stage left while Sora walked to stage right. They turned around and faced each other. Terra raised his Keyblade and thrust it into the ground. A gigantic, magical barrier emerged surrounded the stage, but still making it easier for the watchers to see.
"Before we begin, take these to replenish your health and stamina." Aqua said as she threw a bottle of Elixir to both Sora and Ash. Ash watched as Sora opened the bottle and grabbed a star like object from within and crushed it into his chest. Ash did the same as he did it. After crushing it, he felt like his whole body was restored to its fullest potential.
"Now that you are ready for the final test, there will be a time limit in this duel. If one of you or both of you cannot continue before the time runs out, then the test will end when at least one Keyblade is dismissed. Are we clear?" Terra asked them.
"Yes." Ash and Sora said.
"THEN BEGIN!" Terra shouted. Ash and Sora charged forward and in no time flat, the Divine Elemental and the Kingdom Key collided and the duel began.
Back on the balconies, Teams RWBY, JNPR and CFVY were amazed at the duel that is happening. Coco was getting more impressed as the fight went on. She kept her eyes on Ash the whole time, so much so that she looked like she was in a trance.
"Hey Coco, I see you're enjoying yourself." Velvet said as she gently nudged her, snapping her out.
"HUH WHAT!? Oh yeah, he really is quite something isn't he?" Coco asked as she looked over at her teammate.
"I agree he never ceases to amaze us." Velvet complimented.
"His fighting style is most impressive. I wouldn't mind a little sparring from him." One of the teammates named Fox said.
"He truly has brought a great honor to us all, a worthy hunter in training." The other member name Yatsuhashi said.
Back on the stage, Ash and Sora were going all out, and never used the darkness from within. The fight continued for about 10 minutes until they both started to breathe heavy. Sora looked like he was at his limit, and Ash had to use his Keyblade as a balance to keep him up.
"I…gotta hand it…to ya, I'm impressed." Sora said through breathing.
"I'm not gonna lie…you're pretty some….thing yourself." Ash said in the same situation.
Sora and Ash decided to give it one final push towards each other for one final strike, until Aqua and Terra fired off Firaga spells to signal the end of the fight. Ash and Sora stopped dead in their tracks and looked up to the Keyblade Masters.
"That's enough. Both of you step forward." Terra said to them. Ash and Sora walked up to them and stood at attention.
"Master Terra and I watched you both very carefully, and thus we have reached a decision." Aqua said.
Ash and Sora may not be showing it, but they were getting very nervous, Sora especially. Ash sensed it growing within him.
"Ash, Sora, the both of you performed commendably, and not one of you used the power of the darkness from within your hearts. Sora, step forward to Master Aqua, and Ash step forward to me." Terra said. Ash and Sora walked to each one.
"Take a knee." Aqua said. Ash and Sora got on one knee and bowed their heads.
"Sora and Ash, by the right of a Master, by the will of the heart, and by the light of Kingdom Hearts, we hereby dub thee…KEYBLADE MASTERS!" Terra announced as he and Aqua tabbed their Keyblades on their shoulders.
The amphitheater exploded with cheers as they just witnessed for the first time the dubbing from a Keyblade Wielder, to a Keyblade Master. Ash and Sora rose up, and smiled at the Masters.
"As a welcoming, here is a present for you two. Behold." Aqua said as she and Terra picked up a box from behind them and opened them, revealing a Keyblade armor pauldron with a different decoration and pattern for the both of them.
Ash and Sora looked at it with awe. Sora's was a similar design of Terra's but highlighted with gold that covers the arm. Ash's showed a variety of colors that matched the Pokemon Type coloration. They took them out and placed it on their left arm. A locking mechanism latched onto their arms, sealing it into place.
"Alright, now do as I do." Terra said as he raised right hand and slammed it onto the shoulder pad. A bright light emerged and everyone except Aqua covered their eyes. After it died down, Terra's body was completely covered in armor from head to toe, even coming with a cape that dawn the same color.
Sora raised his right hand and did the same. The same bright light emerged and when it was clear, his armor possessed large gold plating and showed off similar designs of his garnets with a golden cape that went just beneath the knees.
Ash looked over at Sora and did the same. As the light died down, his armor showed multiple colors that represent the Pokemon, with a yellow cape that showed the symbol of electric in dedication to Pikachu, who was his first Pokemon.
Terra took off his helmet and smiled at them. Ash and Sora did the same as well. "You guys look great. I'd be proud to fight by your side anytime, anywhere." He said.
"I agree. Now these new armors will provide extra protection from all kinds of attacks. Use them well. And as a bonus, this armor allows one additional aspect. Pretend you are about to summon another Keyblade." Aqua said.
Ash went first. He raised his hand, and his mind was revealing a Keyblade he never seen before. And before his eyes, he summoned a new Keyblade.

Aqua stepped forward as she summoned Stormfall.
"As new Keyblade Masters, you now have choices to make in the future. You can now take on apprentices of your own and pass on your knowledge to the ones you select, or you can fight on alone and create your own path. As long as you both fight with the light, you will be our allies." Aqua said.
"If ever you need any guidance or wisdom, use your Keyblades to find us. We will always have your answers. As Keyblade Masters, should you wish to take on an apprentice, you must choose the ones with a strong heart. Now go forth, and make a path for your own." Terra said with a smile.
Ash and Sora nodded and raised their Keyblades, Terra and Aqua doing the same. A ball of light emerged from the tips of their weapons, and they fired it into the ceiling, creating a beautiful light show for the cheering audience. Team RWBY was having some of the most fun out of them all. Coco and Velvet had sparkle in their eyes from amazement.
From the other side, Cinder was clapping lightly while Mercury was cheering with the crowd. Emerald, on the other hand just starred at Ash with a smiled.
Soon after, Aqua and Terra summoned a portal and they all said their farewells. Ash, Pikachu and Sora were just about to leave when they were stopped by many students and staff from outside the main entrance. Team RWBY hugged Ash while some have met up and chatted with Sora. After about a half an hour, Sora looked towards the horizon. Ash took noticed and walked towards him.
"You will always be welcomed here Sora. And besides, I could use a little sparring partner every now and then." Ash said as he placed a hand on Sora's shoulder.
"Pika PIKA!" Pikachu agreed.
"Don't worry, I will see to it that whenever your world is in danger, we'll come running. But for now, I must return home. Come visit sometime Ash." Sora said as he summoned the Kingdom Key and created a portal.
"FAREWELL EVERYONE!" Sora yelled out and waved at them. Ash and many others behind him waved good bye to Sora, until he disappeared into the portal. Ash turned to Team RWBY and smiled.
"I knew this would be an interesting stay here." Ash said with a smile.
"Attention students, would Team RWBY please report to my office immediately." Goodwitch's voiced echoed from a nearby loud speaker. Team RWBY looked up to it and their eyes widen.
"Oh…..right. I forgot we needed to report to her after the commotion from last night." Ruby said as she scratched her head with a dumbfounded face.
"Let's go, I'll walk you guys there." Ash said as he walked behind Team RWBY. Along the way, Ash stopped as he sensed something…..unusual coming from a couple students nearby that arrived for an upcoming tournament. He turned around and looked at their general directions. The girl from the middle caught his eyes as he sensed almost pure red aura flowing through her. He growled a little and continued to follow his girlfriends.
Upon arrival to Goodwitch's office, she had a glare that even intimidated Ash.
"Now then, I want an explanation of the commotion that your four caused that nearly destroyed that part of the academy." She spat at them.
"Well you see, here's what happened," Blake said as she stepped forward.
Meanwhile back at the courtyard, Cinder and the others were by a tree.
"Looks like phase one is complete. Now onto our next phase, we must get him to trust us, and share that power with us so Queen Salem would have enough power to bring the world to her knees." Cinder said with a smile.
"What about the Maiden? If what we know about her is true, then she has to be well guarded." Mercury said as he leaned on the tree.
"Leave that up to me. Emerald, see if you can be a little closer to this Team RWBY. It seems that Ash hangs out with them on numerous occasions." Cinder suggested.
"Of course." Emerald spoke softly. She looked up towards Beacon Tower and just starred at it.
Back at Goodwitch's office, Blake finished up with the explanation. This left Glynda with a confuse expression.
"So let me see if I got this right. The four of you were fighting for Ash's heart, which led to you four fighting among each other, and in the end, led to you four "sharing" him?" Glynda asked. The girls nodded.
"Is this correct Ash?" Glynda asked as she turned to him.
"Yes professor. We did talk this through shortly after you left, and we agreed that this would make things a whole lot easier for all of us. I assure you, this will not happen again." Ash said. Glynda sighed and faced Team RWBY.
"Very well, but don't think that I will let go of your punishment. Tomorrow afternoon at 2 sharp, you will join me in detention. If any of you are late," Glynda stated as she glared at Yang. "then that person will serve a whole week of detention, and you will be banned from the dance. "DO I MAKE MYSLEF CLEAR!?" She shouted.
"YES MA'AM!" Team RWBY yelled out as if they were in the military. Glynda smiled and dismissed them.
"One moment Ash, there is something that I want to discuss with you." She said as Ash was beginning to leave.
"Of course." Ash said as he took one last look at Team RWBY as they left. Ash took a seat in front of her desk.
"Now, are you familiar with the Vytal Tournament coming up?" She asked him.
"I know of 'a' tournament that's coming up. Why?" He asked.
Glynda stood up and walked towards him. "Come, walk with me." She insisted. Ash got up and they walked out the door.
"The Vytal Tournament is also hosting its first ever Pokemon Tournament as well. The four kingdoms high council wishes that you participate in the both the main tournament, and the Pokemon tournament as well." She explained.
Ash was confused by this explanation. "I'm okay with the Pokemon tournament, but how can I do both?" He asked.
"The council has heard of your heroic actions, and now that the rumors of the Keyblade's existence were true, everyone wants a chance to wield one." Glynda explained.
"Let me guess, I will be in the championship match against the one that wins the finals of the main tournament, and yet participating as a regular contestant for the Pokemon tournament." He put the pieces together.
"Precisely." Glynda said with a smile. Ash gained a huge smile on his face.
"I'm in, but does this mean that if the winner defeats me, that person becomes my apprentice?" He asked.
"That is up to him/her." She said.
"Very well. I shall approve of this to the council if you wish." Ash stated. Glynda walked faster and got in front of him, forcing him to stop.
"You will be going with both me and Professor Ozpin on this matter. And…thank you for all you have done for us." Glynda said as a small bit of pink appeared on her cheeks. This didn't go unnoticed by Ash.
"Are you feeling okay? Your face is turning a little red." He spoke out. Before he could say anything else, she gave him a quick peck on the cheek and walked off, stunning Ash in the process.
"See you in combat class tomorrow morning Ash." She said to him. Ash just stood there watching her go by.
"HOW MUCH MORE AM I GOING TO TAKE!?" Ash shouted at the top of his lungs, causing many people around him and stared at him.
Well that happened. By a popular demand, a few of you guys wanted me to include her into the harem. And I thought, well why not. So that now makes 5 in the harem. and I can now confirm that there will be a grand total of 8 in the harem. Team RWBY and Glynda make up the 5, but who are the other 3? You guys are just gonna have to find out on that one. This one was a lot of fun to make. Now that Ash is a Keyblade Master, what new challenges await for him? Find out more as the story continues. TheDrock900 is signing out.
