I do not own Kingdom Hearts or Dissidia Final Fantasy
Fighting side by side, Roxas and the Warrior of Light finished off the horde of Manikins, "Man! Talk about endless, these puppets just won't stop coming at us!" Complained Roxas as he dismissed his weapons with his companion agreeing as they stood in a crossroad, "Yes these abominations seem to have the numbers on their side no matter what we do so far." The knight sighed, "And that is where they have the advantage."
The nobody raised an eyebrow at this statement. "Oh? Having bad some thoughts about our situation, are we?" Roxas questioned with the Knight not answering, "Can't say I blame you. Cosmos sent us to find the crystals to end this war and so far the only thing we've found was cardboard copies wanting to kill us with their masters waiting for our end." summarized Roxas.
That was actually true. The goddess of Harmony put her hope into her warriors to end this conflict of the gods with these so called crystals. But Roxas knew that's not all the crystals were, though the truth will reveal itself as time goes by. As the seemly, endless hordes of manikins roaming this cursed world. Their origins: unknown, but their intentions are.
Roxas scratched his head before speaking again "Still, it's too soon to tell if it's over for us. Due to the fact things only got started." The Warrior of Light nodded and turned his head around the area as if thinking.
After a little while, the duo heard cries of battle close by "It seems that our enemies keep looking for us as we stand. So it seems we must split up." Concluded the armored man.
"Split up?" repeated a confused Roxas which his companion nodded to "Yes. We are a bigger target together than separated, so it's logical for us to get to our goal with fewer obstacles than there are already." He explained simply
Roxas nodded at the explanation. They needed to find the crystals in order to save this world, so it was bad enough to have the agents of Chaos standing in their way in addition to the manikins. The nobody was determined to protect this world like the others and to end this war. So far the only way to do that is by killing the god of discord with the power of the crystals.
'Which again, Cosmos did not clarify HOW to get them.' Thought bitterly Roxas. The teen shook his head and agreed with his partner "I understand. Divide and conquer right?"
"Yes, if we want to end this war faster." Answered the armored man, and then turned around one of the roads "Take care my comrade and make sure you don't fall until the very end." He called back as he walked his chosen path.
Roxas nodded and waved "Well then, see you later I guess." He replied and watched the Warriors retreating back.
Roxas looked at the opposite path and smirked "Now then, let's see what's waiting for me up ahead." He stated and ran down his own path away from his friend. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX
Xemnas appeared in the World of Darkness, where the shadows of this cursed world hid in peace. 'Mmm, this place is home to darkness it seems.' He mused in his mind then stopped in his tracks.
The hooded nobody turned his head slightly towards his back "I know your there, it's foolish to try and hid from me." He said out loud to no one in particular.
Just then, a portal of darkness opened on the floor behide Xemnas. Out came a woman, her with pale skin and a red and black cloak attached to her wrists. Black and red coverings adorn her body and two mouthed tentacles extend from her back. Overall her appearance made her counterpart raise an eyebrow
"Well someone's a man killer." He noted.
Ignoring the jab, the floating entity spoke "It seems we have a visitor." She stated the obvious while staring at the nobody, who slightly frowned at the way she talked "We?"
Somehow she appeared behide Xemmas in thin air "Yes." She purred at the question as one of her tentacles snapped at the nobody "You have entered our realm without our consent, yet it seems it have come to our attention that you also are a harbinger of the Void, are you not?" she questioned.
That caused the superior in-between to snort at that claim "It seems I have to repeat myself for you like that other fool: yes, I was born from nothing, however, I can use it to its fullest potential unlike you." he stated irritated
The Cloud of Darkness was completely uninterested at that claim. Due to the fact that she uses darkness instead of nothing, but he didn't need to know that. But that didn't mean she was not interested in his power.
"Hmm, you claim you can use nothing to its full potential yet we have yet to see your power in real power. So this calls for a test.", she declared.
Xemnas scoffed "A test?" he asked as if she has lost her damn mind.
"Yes." She replied, "It appears that Kefka and Kuja were able to corner some of the warriors of Cosmos and forced them to separate. What we wonder is if you can survive a battle against them."
The ruler of nobodies narrowed is eyes at the word Cosmos. From what he has gathered, he was dragged into this war to defeat her champions and to kill the goddess. But he has yet to see a warrior of harmony in battle, so he has no idea what to expect. Xemnas smirked evilly; time to fix that little problem.
"Fine then, let me see if this war is truly worth my time." He answered with his counterpart nodding. The embodiment of fear stretched her hand and opened a corridor of darkness to the battle fielded "Go then, see what we are dealing with. And don't disappoint us."
Xemnas ignored her and went into the corridor to his fight.
After he left the Cloud of Darkness sighed and turned her head "Xemnas huh? Just what will you fight for?" she pondered as she disappeared

In the Lunar Subterranean where the moon shines it's light upon its ground. Entering the land was Miss Lighting herself and her group, running from the manikins.
They stopped to catch their breaths when they were far enough. "What…what are those things!? "Asked Vaan (The main guy from final fantasy 11.)
"Mmm…they look like carbon copies of us to me." Answered Laguna (A man guy from Final Fantasy 8)
"Thanks for the inside perspective." Vaan said sarcastically
Tifa decided to intervene "This is getting us nowhere. They keep coming and coming!"
"Manikins…an never-ending pool of reinforcements." Lighting observed bitterly "What good is Cosmos's power if we can't make it out of here to use it?"
"Well, well…if it isn't Cosmos's warriors, marching straight into my arms of their own accord!" exclaimed a voice. Appearing out of nowhere is Kuja and Kefka themselves.
The warriors of harmony tensed as Lighting spoke up "It's been awhile since we saw anything but puppets." She stated
"Oh really? Could it be … you're out of steam already?" he asked in his one and only voice "Oh you poor dears. I mean look behide you! You still have manikins waiting for a chance to play!"
They turned around and saw just that; more manikins after them. "Oh no. Not again!" Complained Vaan with his shoulders slumped
Right on que, Lighting stepped up to the plate and took out her gunblade "I'll take care of these. You guys deal with the others behide us. Do not let them surround you!" she ordered.
"Yes ma'am! You just leave our escape route to me!" he exclaimed proudly
(That's not going to end well)
"Light…if things look bad, get out." Warned Tifa as the group left Lighting alone to Chaos' forces.
Kefka shuffled next to Kuja like a little kid and spoke," Well, Kujie-coo…It looks like now's the time to show us what you can do! And there's only one of them too, you know! This is your chance to shine!" the jester exclaimed insanely
Kuja simply shrugged him off "Will you not stop talking? It gives me a headache every time you open that big mouth of yours." He stated bluntly
But before Kefka could respond another voice cut in "Well, well…it seems you people are taking your sweet time during the mist of war."
The trio turned to their left to see a corridor of darkness open and came out Xemmas with his hood on.
"You!" the clown spat as if he was poison while Kuja smirked at his presence "Ah, it seems you decided to join the game. Xemmas I presume?" questioned the angel. Xemnas simply nodded.
The nobody turned his head to look at his target who was analyzing him. 'Mmm, another one huh? At this rate I'll have to retreat soon. Still, why does he guy remind me of Roxas?' the solider wondered with her guard up.
Xemmas looked away from Lighting to look at Kuja "It seems there's a pest that needs to be taken care of." He mused with the angel agreeing.
"Yes. But let me ask you this: just what exactly are you here for?" asked Kuja
"I'm just here to test the waters." He stated bluntly which caused Lighting to raise an eyebrow.
"Test the waters?" she repeated while Xemnas nodded.
"Exactly. God or not, I refuse to let seem deity throw me into a war without truly knowing if this is wish my time." He explained simply
"Makes sense." Kuja commented while Kefka burst "ALL RIGHT! We get it! Just get on with the showing-me-you-can-put-up-a-fight part already, you burnt potato!"
Xemnas rolled his eyes under his hood, as if he has to waste his non-existent energy on that fool.
The nobody disappeared and reappeared behide Lighting. The shocked soldier came back to her senses just in time to see the hooded man walking in front of her. But instead of attacking, he went straight throw her like some kind of ghost.
In Lighting mind something snapped. Her suppressed memories began to stir, as if the chains holding them were broken. But, they were being experience by Xemnas himself as the pink-haired woman was unable to truly make out her suppressed past.
After that, the silver-haired man continued to walk to his side of the field as Lighting went on one knee while her memories went back to sleep.
"I see, that's who you are." Murmured Xemnas who was still browsing though Lighting's memories "Who are you?" asked Lighting in a ice cold voice.
The golden-eyed man raised an eye-brow "Excuse me?" scoffed Xemnas "Tell me…" started the soldier , as she got up, who was sounding very pissed "Tell me just what gives YOU the right to look at my memories! MY past! Just who the hell are you!" she shouted angrily
A ball of energy formed around Lighting's opponent's hand as he raised it forward.
"I'm nobody." Xemnas whispered. The ball of energy shot out lighting, like the force, towards the pink haired woman.
Lighting blocked the attack with her trusty gunblade and held her ground knowing this battle would not be easy
Sorry for updating for awhile, I just finished Mid-terms from school and was caught up with other fanfics and working on the voted story. Hoped you enjoy this.
Also, let me ask this: would it be a good idea to let someone adopt this story?
