Here's chapter 10! Hope you all enjoy, and I unfortunately won't be updating for awhile. I will be overhauling my previous chapters after a House-like epiphany (watch the show House M.D. and you'll know what I mean). Sorry but it must be done. Please enjoy this chapter and as always I ask that you review.

Unamed World: Compound
The following tale was told by images and words transmitted from the mind of Achlaval.
In the beginning, the was only Chaos. A being of immense power who ravaged all that came before it. But for some reason, over time it grew a sentience, and with it, feelings and a mind, and from these, it developed a crushing sense of all consuming loneliness. So it called upon its powers of destruction and creation to give birth to three children from all that surrounded it; a son of Darkness, and a daughter of Light and Twilight. He then created all the worlds of the Multi-verses for them to play in. A gigantic playground of endless possibilities. But like their father, these beings soon began to feel lonely. So they created the races of the worlds, each as beautiful as they were. Chaos and his children were happy for awhile, but their father grew jealous of his children's creations, their beauty and happiness far outstripping his own. Hatred welled with in the mighty Creator, and so he created a new race. One of rage and madness, ugliness, horror and unimaginable hunger. They marched upon the Multi-verse, claiming world after world of innocents. Devouring all life in their path.
Darkness, Light and Twilight, saddened by their father's anger, gathered together the monarchs and armies of the surviving worlds to form the Council of War. On a world protected by the siblings' combined powers, they discussed and argued over how best to combat the Armies of Chaos. It was decided that a weapon would be created to seal these monsters away, since none but the power of Chaos itself could slay them. But as the exact shape of the weapon none had any idea where to begin, until the monarch of a small island world stepped forward with the most obvious of answers, the weapon should be in the shape of a Key. So the Trinity of Gods went to work forging the weapons now known as Keyblades. Light gifted hers unto those with strong hearts and character. Darkness gave his unto those strong of will, mind and body, not necessarily morals. Only Twilight differed from her siblings, pouring most of her power into one champion over many. The last act of the three was to come together to create an ultimate Keyblade, who's name and appearance has been lost to history. This mighty weapon was gifted to the monarch of the small island world, the first champion of Twilight.
So the Armies of the Multi-verse went to war. The Keybladers and their armies fought Chaos being after Chaos being, sealing each away until only Chaos himself was left. The battle against him lasted seven days, until the King and his two comrades sacrificed themselves to seal away Chaos, Creator of the Multi-verse. This act created a gate which could only be opened or closed by sacrificing a Keyblader of each power. For some reason, this magic created a world which was soon populated before it was sealed off by the Trinity in the attempt to make sure Chaos would never be released again.
After sealing the world, the Trinity retreated to their separate realms, rarely leaving for their was peace. But trouble soon came to the lock-world. Perhaps due to the proximity to Chaos, almost a third of the population of this world could wield Keyblades. A servant of Chaos ignited a war between the Keybladers of Light and Darkness, and it was amongst the madness of this I received the power of Twilight. My friends also gained the power of Keyblades, and together we ended the war and defeated the Chaos wielder. Although it cost my friends their lives and I had to kill a minor Chaos being in the process. Peace was restored and I married my girlfriend two years later. We had three beautiful children, but we soon realized my power over Twilight came at a terrible price. I watched in agony as my wife succumbed to an incurable disease, while I did not age. So consumed was I with grief that when my children had grown and had families of their own I left my home world.
I traveled the Multi-verse, learning new things and seeing amazing new sights. I began to encounter and gather Keybladers, and trained them in the arts and techniques I had learned. We began to hunt Heartless and dangerous Nobodies, and captured rouge Keybladers of both powers. We established an order of Keybladers to better accomplish these goals, and we called ourselves the Chasers. I trained generation after generation of warriors, watching them grow from lowly apprentices to full grown knights of the order. Then came the one know as Xehanort. He was a prodigy of combat and magic, defeating well established knights as an apprentice. As a knight he would have even given me a run for my Munny. I was even planning on making him the heir to Twilight. But Chaos got to him first, and in a single night, opened the door to realm where we had been placing rouge Keybladers and decimated the Chasers. They killed knight and apprentice alike, until only a few of us remained. Three of our greatest warriors; Terra, Aqua and Ventus joined together to fight him and his apprentice. They followed him to my home world, to a monument to the now ancient war known as the Keyblade Graveyard. They were beaten badly, Ventus was killed during the battle, frozen solid. Aqua died of broken heart soon after. Terra nearly lost his heart, and put himself in stasis so as to avoid becoming a truly terrifying Heartless. On the bright side, Xehanort failed, I had not yet taught him that the only way to open the gate and release Chaos was to sacrifice a Keyblader of each power, and the resulting energy released from his foolish action killed him. His apprentice escaped, and was seen by a young Keyblader named Mickey, who informed me of what had transpired. The apprentice is the one you know as Xehanort, having taken his masters name after his death.
After that fiasco I went underground, wandering the worlds searching for surviving Chasers. Many of whom had hidden themselves. I soon grew weary of this, so I awaited the next generations of Keybladers, and they have come at last. In your last adventures you saved much of your universe, and now you must save the others, not to mention find the wielder or wielders on each. Maleficent is once again on the march, and only you can stop her.
That's my complete history of the Keyblades Wars, and the beginning of all this madness. Hope you enjoyed and once again, please review!
