Hi Everyone, I'm back.
This chapter will finally reveal the principle and vice principle of Crystal Prep Academy, plus the truth about where my OC's truly came from.
Hope you enjoy.
Warning: This chapter might be long so the story can get interesting, and I still hope you like it.
Chapter 10: Lost Memories
It's been a full week since Crimson and Sonic regained most of their memories after meeting their old teachers Cadence and Shining Armor.
Today is the day the boys are going to take a field trip to Crystal Prep to meet the Shadowbolts, plus regain any other memories locked inside of them.
Outside Canterlot High
After leaving their house and telling their mother about what they were going to do today Lucky told her sons to have a good day and to enjoy their trip. They told her they will as they continued on walking towards Canterlot High.
Upon arriving Crimson and Sonic noticed a bus at the front enterance of the school with Cadence, Shining Armor, Celestia, Luna, and the Mane Seven near it. "Hello boys, are you two ready to go to Crystal Prep?" Shining Armor asked he walked up towards them.
"Yeah we are, I wonder what the Shadowbolts are like and if anyone from Crystal Prep will remember us?" Sonic said as he and Crimson were looking at the bus.
"The Shadowbolts have changed after the Friendship Games, so they and the other students might remember you boys if they aren't too busy with their own studies." Cadence said.
Very glad to hear that and not wanting to waste anymore time, Crimson and Sonic began getting on the bus. Before they could Celestia asked them to have a good time, while their friends told them to not get carried away with how amazing the school looked.
Unsure by what they meant the boys took out their charms from their pockets and showed them to the Mane Seven before Crimson spoke to them,"Don't worry guys, we'll be back and when we do we'll tell you everything that happened." He said with a smile.
The Mane Seven took out their charms as well while smiling at them, then Crimson and Sonic continued walking up into the bus and took a seat beside each other in the front while Cadence and Shining Armor sat behind them.
As the bus began departing Crimson and Sonic waved at everyone through the window while they did the same before the bus completely left.
"I hope the boys will be alright, I mean I know the Shadowbolts have changed, but will they remember them?" Fluttershy asked everyone before putting her charm away.
"They'll be okay, they're strong and kind. Plus everything is going to be fine girls, as long as you keep on thinking about them then you'll know that they'll be okay." Luna said to the Mane Seven.
The girls nodded on what she said before they all began walking towards the enterance before the first bell rang, however Sunset and Twilight stayed behind and they both had a feeling that something terrible was going to happen as they looked at their charms. "Hey! Are you two coming or what?" Rainbow Dash said loudly to Sunset and Twilight before going inside. Looking at each other as they put away their charms, Sunset and Twilight shook off their previous thoughts while walking towards the enterance.
Crystal Prep Academy
After a long ride through the city Crimson and Sonic were brought towards Crystal Prep Academy. As the bus stopped at the main enterance the boys slowly walked out of the bus and began staring at the school with wonder and curiosity.
Cadence and Shining Armor got off afterwards and welcomed the boys to their old school. As they did Crimson thought up a very good question,"Why did we transfer from this school?" He thought as he and Sonic started walking towards the front doors.
Inside the school the boys were amazed by the architecture of crystals, then as they began walking away from the enterance and into the main halls Crimson and Sonic started having headaches again. Cadence and Shining Armor noticed this and try to aid them, but the boys slowly walked into the center of the main halls and began remembering some fragments of their pasts.
(Flashback)
It was a bright and shiny day at Crystal Prep. Everyone was walking through the halls minding their own business and was determined to be the best they can. Crimson and Sonic were in their uniforms and they both looked liked they had a lot on their minds as they were walking with no emotions showing.
As they were going to class they were approached by the vice principle. She looked elegant, had mint skin, wore glasses, and had dark brown hair in a pony tail. "Crimson, Sonic, you both have been called up for another special assignment. So far you both have been doing great and soon all of your efforts will pay off, understand?" The vice principle said.
"Understood Vice Principle Cinch." Crimson said with Sonic nodding.
(Present Day)
As Crimson's and Sonic's headaches were fading they remembered Vice Principle Cinch and how she was talking about another "Special Assignment" they had to do, then Cinch appeared shortly afterwards with the Shadowbolts by her side.
Cadence and Shining Armor were a little surprised to see them as they were helping Crimson and Sonic up, however Cinch was very glad to see the boys return after their two year absence. The boys turned their attention to her and also noticed the Shadowbolts who were Sugar Coat, Sour Sweet, Lemon Zest, Sunny Flare, and Indigo Zap.
"Hello boys, it's been a while, huh?" Sunny Flare said with a smirk.
Confused a little the boys did greet the Shadowbolts, however they denied them. "Just cause we say hi doesn't mean we were friends." Sugar Coat said before she straightened her glasses.
"Girls, that's not how we interact with guests, especially former students." Shining Armor said firmly as he was a little surprised at the Shadowbolts have gone back to their selfish ways.
"Sorry, Sugar Coat didn't mean what she said boys. However I still think your saps."Sour Sweet said as she bounced from nice to mean.
"Okay everyone, let's not get carried away. Vice Principle Cinch, how about Crimson and Sonic spend a little time with the Shadowbolts so they can get to know each other and help the boys remember their time here." Cadence said as she was trying to allow the boy have some time with people their age.
"Why that's an excellent idea Cadence. Girls, what do you think?" Cinch said after speaking with Cadence.
"Alright, plus I can introduce Crimson and Sonic to my old rock music." Lemon Zest said as she came between the boys and placed her hands on their shoulders while the boys nervously smiled at her.
After the discussion Cinch, Cadence, and Shining Armor left the Shadowbolts with Crimson and Sonic as Cinch needed to speak with Cadence and Shining Armor about Crimson's and Sonic's return in private. The boys looked at the Shadowbolts and gave them small smiles, but then Sugar Coat told them that they're not friends and that they'll only show them around because Cinch told them to.
Sighing a little Crimson and Sonic agreed to their terms before they all began walking through the school. Indigo Zap then asked them about the Wondercolts and how they always beat them, Sonic informed her that they knew about that from their friends and asked the rest of the Shadowbolts if they'd changed after the last Friendship Games.
"Oh so you two finally gained some friends huh? And it had to be those Wonder Wannabees." Indigo Zap said as she was getting a little rude talking about Crimson's and Sonic's friends like that.
"They're not Wonder Wannabees, they're our friends. Plus why are the Friendship Games called "The Friendship Games" if you girls can't get along with the Wondercolts?" Crimson asked Indigo.
"They're called that because teams work together to win, the Shadowbolts shouldn't be friends with the Wondercolts at all." Sunny Flare said to Crimson as she turned around and gave him and Sonic a firm look.
The rest of the Shadowbolts gave them firm looks as well, this made Crimson and Sonic feel a little uneasy at first, but then they became annoyed that these girls were being rough on their friends and that they should apologize. "No, we won't apologize, how about we have a little brawl outside like old times?" Indigo Zap said while punching her right hand into her left hand.
Unsure by what they were talking about since they couldn't remember, Crimson and Sonic accepted their offer and all of them went straight outside to start.
Crystal Prep Academy: Fields
Upon going outside the boys were standing against each other from opposite sides, Sonic asked the girls to apologize and this little disagreement can be forgotten. "We don't think so boys, Principle Sombra said that the next time we see each other that we should try to get along, but since it's not work we believe it's time to show you two how strong the Shadowbolts have gotten after you left." Sunny Flare said.
"That's very true. However you two need a good punishment." Sour Sweet said as she bounced from normal to mean again.
Suddenly the Shadowbolts raised their right hands and pure darkness appeared from them, then dark staves appeared and the girls got into stances and they were to fight. When Crimson and Sonic saw the darkness they both glared at the girls before putting on their Keyblade Armor and summoning their Keyblades.
"Dudes! That's so cool, but not as cool as this!" Lemon Zest said as she shot the boys with a bolt of lightning.
Dodging it both Crimson and Sonic were surprised that they had magic and that this fight wasn't going to be easy, so the boys looked at each other before nodding on what they were going to do in order to beat the girls.
As they both began charging at the girls Sunny Flare blasted them with Dark Fira, the attack did some major damage on the boys and severely burned their armor. However they weren't that damaged and decided to use Strike Raid on the Shadowbolts, unfortunately this didn't work because Indigo Zap used Dark Thundara to stop it and then Sour Sweet and Sugar Coat used Blizzara to freeze the boys in place.
As they fell towards the ground completely frozen the Shadowbolts walked up to them and thought about finishing them off, even though Sombra would go against it the girls thought the boys were already done. But Crimson and Sonic re summoned their Keyblades and escaped by using Arcanum Burst by warping away from the Shadowbolts and striking at them with great power.
The fight appeared to be over as the Shadowbolts were just laying on the ground, Crimson and Sonic reverted their Keyblades and their armor to go see if the girls were okay. Then suddenly the Shadowbolts got up from the ground and knocked the boys away with a powerful Aerora tornado.
Crimson and Sonic were pushed towards the ground, then the Shadowbolts dismissed their staves before Sugar Coat spoke to them,"Interesting? You both have gotten stronger, and that is exactly what we need. You both are almost ready and when the time comes you'll finally understand your true purpose and destinies." She said before opening a Dark Corridor and both her and the rest of the Shadowbolts entered through and disappeared before the boys could stop them.
Really confused by what happened, what the girls were talking about, and where they went, Crimson and Sonic began running back inside to find Cadence and Shining Armor. "You think Cadence or Shining Armor might know why the Shadowbolts have magic and why they tried to kill us?" Sonic said to his brother. "I really don't know Sonic, but we'll get some answers that'll explain all of this." Crimson replied.
Crystal Prep Academy: Hallways
Going back inside Crimson and Sonic noticed a lot of students passing by and they had to get through them so they could find their teachers. Suddenly the boys remembered where they needed to go and began heading upstairs to find Cadence's classroom.
Going up the boys were suddenly stopped by a dark voice that came from behind,"We meet again boys." The voice said.
Turning around Crimson and Sonic saw a man wearing a jet black suit, he had gray skin, long black hair, and he looked very sinister. "I see you forgot about me as well, but allow me to help you remember what you lost and you shall learn everything there is about your secret lives before you came here. Also, I am Principle Sombra." He said as he raised his hands at the boys to offer them help.
Both Crimson and Sonic were a little shaken after seeing him, but they did accept and both them and Sombra began walking towards their office without a second thought.
Meanwhile Vice Principle Cinch, Cadence, and Shining Armor were done with their discussions and the Shadowbolts suddenly appeared.
"Hi girls. Wait, where are Crimson and Sonic?" Cadence asked.
"We were showing them around, but then we got separated. However we then saw Principle Sombra with them and thought he could finish up helping them while we were coming to the three of you." Sunny Flare lied.
"Oh, okay. Well maybe should go check on them to see how things are going before-" Shining Armor said before Cinch cut him off.
"What about your students? You two are still teachers are you not? Me and the girls will go and check on the boys, you two go and continue on with your jobs." She said acting generous and caring.
"Ok, but tell us when the boys leave Principle Sombra's office so we can take them back at the end of the day." Cadence asked.
"I promise you I will." Cinch said.
After Cadence and Shining Armor left Cinch asked the girls what really happened with the boys. "We had a little fight outside, they've gotten a lot stronger and we think they're ready." Sugar Coat explained. Hearing that made Cinch smirk, then both her and the Shadowbolts began walking towards Principle Sombra's office to see what was going on.
Crystal Prep Academy: Principle Sombra's Office
Inside Sombra's office Crimson and Sonic were sitting in front of him while he himself had his arms on his desk and his hands intertwined.
Vice Principle Cinch and the Shadowbolts showed up a few minutes and the boys were a little hesitant on why they showed up, but Sombra began explaining the truth about themselves.
"Crimson, Sonic, you two weren't born from this world. You came from another known as The Land of Departure, a world where keyblade wielders and mages live in peace and harmony. Your father Leo was the bravest Keyblade Wielder I had ever seen, he was strong, he was kind, and his heart was pure light. Your real mother Hikari was very beautiful, she was also a very powerful mage and knew every spell within the Mystic Books to greatly protect the land from darkness. Apparently your parents first met under the guide of a legendary Keyblade Master known as Master Eraqus, they were students of his and taught them the ways of wielding a Keyblade and how to use magic. Along the way they began to grow closer to each other and began a relationship, I know because I was a very good friend of your parents. Me and your father sparred all the time when we were young and your mother helped me learn how to channel magic within my body so I could release it into new forms. One day Leo told me he was going to be a father and I was very surprised at this news because it meant that everything was changing, but it was a very good change. The day you two were born was the happiest day for your father, your mother, me, and Eraqus. Celestia and Luna witnessed your births as well because they were from that world too, they knew your mother and helped her whenever you took would start crying or get upset. Then when you two were only a year old me and your father passed down our abilities to wield the Keyblade upon you, we were told by Eraqus and his old friend Xehanort that it was apart of your destiny to gain the ability to wield one, and now you do." Sombra said with a smile and a little bit of joy.
Shocked and stunned after hearing that they came from another world and that their lives were lies, Crimson and Sonic felt upset, but then they asked Sombra if he knew anything else about their real parents.
Sombra release a deep sigh before he continued,"The next day after you received the ability, you both were greeted by the legendary guardians of Kingdom Hearts. Kingdom Hearts is the heart of all worlds and is protected by two guardians who can wield the all powerful X-blades. The guardians said that the birth of twins upon the Land of Departure was unlike anything they had ever seen, they also saw great potential within the two of you and passed down the abilities to create the X-blades, but only when your truly ready." He said with small smile.
"Keyblades?" Crimson and Sonic said in confusion.
"Not the Keyblades you both carry. "X", it's a very ancient letter. Some say "Kye" but the meaning is the same, it mean rebirth and the power to fufill your dreams and bring them into the light." Sombra said, explaining the difference between Keyblades and the X-blades.
"So, me and my brother have the power to make them?" Crimson asked Sombra.
"Correct." Was all Sombra said.
"However in order for the X-blades to be forged, they did an equal amount of light and darkness. you both have light and the Shadowbolts have your darkness." Sombra said.
"What? The Shadowbolts have our darkness? How?" Sonic asked in confusion.
"An accident occurred, when I was teaching you both on how to wield your Keyblades. You two were fighting a powerful Heartless, it was tough, strong, and had no remorse. You pledded to me that you were strong enough to stop it, but I encouraged you to keep going, however the Heartless defeated the two of you and attemped to turn you both into Heartless as well. Luckily I stopped it, but the darkness that he had already effected you with was very difficult to remove, so I had little choice but to extract it from your hearts and in doing so I damaged your hearts and memories in the most horrific way. I couldn't stand doing that, especially after what happened at the Land of Departure years ago. Sombra said with sorrow and despair.
Asking him what happened to their world Crimson and Sonic were told by Sombra that there was a massive Heartless War, every Keyblade Wielder was killed by various forms of Heartless. "It was chaos, me your father, Celestia, and Luna fought the best we could to protect our home while your mother protected the two of you. Our efforts weren't successful as our world was falling apart, so we all had to transport ourselves to another world and forget about our past lives. Master Eraqus didn't survive and Master Xehanort disappeared, so me, Celestia, and Luna came to this world, but your parents were left behind because the portal was closing. However I believed that they would survive and managed to send the two of you here so you would have normal lives as well." Sombra said as he was getting up from his chair.
"I understand that this is hard for you to accept, but your real parents are alive somewhere and I can grant you that wish if you like?" Sombra asked.
Surprised to hear that both Crimson and Sonic immediately accepted, however Sombra told them that the only way they'll be able to find them is to create the X-blades. He then told them that their darkness is within the Shadowbolts, after extracting their darkness it was too strong for him to contain and it found it's way to the girls.
Looking back at them, Sugar Coat took a step forward before speaking,"Your darkness made us do those things we did early. We couldn't control ourselves, please help us or it'll get worse over time and we'll be dragged into the dark abyss." She said with small sadness.
A little unsure about doing that at first, Crimson and Sonic asked Sombra if there was another way they could help them? He said no before he and Cinch brought up some very interesting information about their friends and Principles.
"Boys, don't you want to save the shadowbolts? Don't you want to find your parents? Celestia and Luna could've taught you how to access portals or even teach you magic. But instead they didn't and your friends won't as well." Cinch said as she was walking towards them while they were getting up.
"What do you mean?" Sonic asked.
"You both could have everything you can ask for and more from those people and learn anything you wanted to known. But Celestia, Luna, and your friends don't trust you, they never did and no matter how many time you ask them your questions they will deny them." Cinch said.
"Yeah. They never answered any of our questions about the Keyblade." Crimson said.
"We've been nothing but puppets to them, they never did answer what we wanted to know." Sonic said with slight anger.
"It's your decision boys, if you choose to accept your wish then come see me tomorrow afternoon and I will help you gain what you've lost." Sombra said as he planted his hands on their shoulders.
Agreeing to think about it Crimson and Sonic left his office and now they were angry because of how their lives were nothing but lies and they they could've known about their real parents if Celestia and Luna were honest with them.
After they left Sombra grinned and told the Shadowbolts to be prepared for tomorrow. They all nodded before leaving Cinch and Sombra alone. "Do you believe that your plan will work?" Cinch asked Sombra. "Of course it will, after all I am giving them what they want and as soon as that happens they'll tear this world apart." Sombra said with a devious voice.
Crystal Prep Academy: Hallways
Cadence and Shining Armor were done with their class and they noticed Crimson and Sonic walking straight towards them, however for the first time they saw the boys with angry faces,
Asking them what's wrong Sonic told them that they're ready to leave before him and Crimson and began walking towards the front enterance. Concerned about them but not wanting to get them more upset, Cadence and Shining Armor began walking and called up the bus so they could take the boys back.
An hour later the bus came and took Crimson and Sonic back to Canterlot High with Cadence and Shining Armor riding with them.
"Boys...are you okay?" Cadence asked in concern.
Calming down a little Crimson looked at her and said,"Did you know?".
"Did we know what?" Shining armor said raising an eyebrow.
"Did you both know we were from anther world? Did you know that our lives were lies, or are you both really our friends." Sonic said to them.
"Sonic...Of course we're your friends. We didn't know about that at all, we swear from the bottom of our hearts." Cadence said with deep honesty.
They both believed her and Shining Armor, but now they have a lot of questions to ask their friends and principles. Plus does their foster mother know that they aren't her kids or she doesn't?
To Be Continued in the next Chapter.
Well, what do you all think? Crimson and Sonic are from another world, they're the children of a skilled Keyblade Wielder and a powerful Mage.
The next chapter will have more answers and there will be some conflict happening.
Also I do not own any Kingdom Hearts references or materials.
Next Chapter will be here soon and I am very excited about it.
Please remember to review or PM.
Until then, see you all later.
