Aaron opened his eyes and saw that he was in an abandoned alley. After dusting off his clothes, he swam around the city and noticed he was in Daybreak Town. And suddenly, he remembered what happened. But also realized after remembering what Larxene told him that the leader of the organization had to send a person looking like Aqua in the Trailer to use his fear to destabilize him and thus be able to knock him out. But a thought crossed his mind.
"What am I doing here?" He wondered before two Keyblades clashed.
Going where the sound came from, he saw Aced threatening a Keyblade bearer and calling him weak.
"Hey, dick head!" Aaron said loud enough to get his attention. "You like it to hurt weaker ones. He said trying to annoy him.
"You have more daring than him. Would you try your luck?" Asked Aced.
Aaron made his broken Keyblade appear and put it in his whip shape. Taking this as an acceptance of his challenge. Aced attacked Aaron who used the Keyblade to prevent Aced from using his own and gave him strength in punches or kicks. At the end of several exchanges Aced ends up on the ground before Aaron holds him by the collar.
"The next time I see you attacking a Keyblade Wielder, I will not hesitate to wrap the Keyblade whip around your neck." He said before letting go and starting with a decided step towards the tower of the Foretellers.
Aaron climbed the stairs of the tower and once arrived in the room of the Foreteller, he searched the book that he found except the books of the prophecies hoping found how to get out of this world without having to use his books which he fears of learn too much about the content. Then a voice caught his attention.
"What are you doing here?" Asked the voice of the Foreteller of the Vulpes Union.
He turned slowly before seeing the Foreteller after whom he named his daughter, Keyblade in hand while a Chirity is with her.
"I'm trying to find out how to get home." Replied Aaron.
"This place is forbidden to the member of the Unions. Who are you?" Ava retorted.
"In this case, I do not break the rule because I am not in a Union." Said Aaron as he moved slowly to an open window.
"How is it possible? All Keyblade bearers were divided into the unions they are chosen and were forced into choosing one." Ava asked.
"You'll understand one day." Said Aaron continuing to approach the window.
"It doesn't answer my question." Ava said.
"It will be necessary to find me to have the answer." Aaron said before jumping out the window and using his Keyblade in his whip shape to cling to a tower wall to curb his fall.
On the side of Aqua, she arrived in the land of the departure and entered the castle and went to the room where are stored the Keyblade of Eraqus and Ava to see an armor holding the Keyblade of Eraqus while Amadeo stood on the throne where Eraqus sat during the examination.
"Who are you?" Aqua asked.
"The one to whom we owe all the pretty mess. I knew you were coming for this Keyblade so I took the liberty of showing up and manipulating the armor of your late Master. Prove that you are worthy of handling it by confronting it and beating it." Amadeo said with amusement revealing that this armor is supposed to be the one that using Eraqus.
"But I don't have Keyblade anymore." Aqua said.
"It will make the test more fun." Amadeo retorted before the armor attacked Aqua.
On Mickey's side, he looked at the girl and masked him in amazement.
"How did she get here?" Mickey asked.
"I don't know. Someone brought it to us while she was unconscious, he begged us to help him. That's what we did. But after Maleficent is attacked this world, we were forced to leave without her due to lack of time. But how could she have survived so long without the Heartless attacking her?" Ansem explained.
"There is nothing more simple." A voice came from behind them as a dark portal opened and Aurora came out. "Me and my husband protected her." She says before she shows up her Keyblade and attacks Mickey.
"Why protect her? What is your goal in the end?" Mickey asked, suspecting that she was part of the organization.
"To have our own existence. But for me and my husband, it's not our only goal." Aurora said, before dismissing Mickey. "Surely you'll know more if Aaron goes to the Foreteller's grave." Aurora said before giving Ansem the wise man a look before disappearing into a dark portal.
On the side of Yen Sid, he, Ventus and Terra watched the sleeping bodies of Xion, Lea, Kairi, Sora and Riku.
"Why do you want them to do this kind of exam?" Asked Ventus.
"For the power of awakening, may help us awaken Aaron from the sleep of which he seems to have been plunged. And facing the power of our opponents we have no choice." Yen Sid replied.
On Aaron's side, after he fled the Foretellers Tower, he hid in the same house where Gula hid in the story of Kingdom Hearts X, sitting on a chair and thinking about how to find a way to get out of here. He then searched his pockets to find in the box more than he had before being attacked.
He found 7 Orichalcum+, 2 Wellspring Crystal, 2 Lucid Crystal, 2 Pulsing Crystal.
"What is this version of the Organization simmering? And why do they have a dark version of Aqua?" He wondered.
On Xion's side for some unknown reason she found herself in Daybreak Town and went for a walk, surprised to find so many Keyblade Wielder in this city. And looking around, she heard some Keyblade Wielders spoken.
"Did you hear about Keyblade Wielder who beat Master Aced?" A Wielder asked his interlocutors.
"Yeah, it looks like he does not have a Chirithy and he's fighting with a broken Keyblade in two whose stalk has been turned into a whip." Another Wielder said surprised.
This caught the attention of Xion who asked them if they knew more. After they answered him, she went to the place where the fight took place to find only Ava sitting on the edge of the fountain of the place.
"Excuse me." Xion said drawing Ava's attention. "I'm looking for the person whose rumors are currently talking in the city. You know where I can find it?" Xion asked.
"I don't know where he is. I have been looking for more than an hour without success." Ava said.
"Why are you looking for it?" Xion asked.
"He intrigues me. He says he does not belong to any Union. And after checking in our records, this is the case. It does not appear anywhere. And you? Why are you looking for him?" Answered Ava.
"I think he's a friend of mine. Xion answered.
"I see. In this case, we should look for it together." Ava suggested.
"Yes. That way, we will have a better chance of finding it." Xion agreed.
Ava stood up, and she and Xion started looking for Aaron together while unknowingly a man with a hooded black coat showing only two big red eyes, wearing on the back of the coat the symbol of the nightmare Dream Eaters and patterns of magenta flames decorating her sleeves and the bottom of the coat were watching them.
On Aqua's side, she continued to fight Eraqus armor, but because of her techniques, she could not even approach her to try to disarm her without the risk of getting fatally injured without having a keyblade to get her. defend. All she can do is use spells to weaken her.
"What's going on, Master Aqua? Are you too weak without Keyblade to defend yourself?" Amadeo said, having fun with Aqua's difficulty.
The armor raised its Keyblade and an orb of impossible light to avoid reached Aqua. She felt that it was lost beforehand, she bowed her arms, confessed defeated and ready to die. Then she thought back to the moment she lived with Aaron. The moment he spoke to her without knowing that she was awake, when they kissed, and more importantly, the birth of Ava.
This moment brought even more light into their lives than it had. After wearing it for eight months and giving birth to it in the pain of childbirth. And having bombarded Aaron with insult because of the pain, those Aaron had answered a sentence that made him finish the delivery by bursting out laughing. Then when she held Ava in her arms. It was one of their most beautiful moments.
But that reminded her of why she needed her Master's Keyblade so much.
To be able to find a way to wake up Aaron and save their daughter.
Her heart and instinct prompted her to lift her arm and hand as if with her pointed Keyblade the sphere and a new Keyblade appeared in her hand and a ray out for destroying the sphere.
The Keyblade looks identical to Aurora's except that the handle is green, the guard is black, the stem and teeth are silver and the keychain is silver and black.
This is the Keyblade True Light's Flight.
Aqua was shocked to see that a new Keyblade appeared in her hand, but even more so in appearance and remembered what Aurora told her when she told him she was.
"I admit that I am surprised. I did not expect your Keyblade to be the mirror image of Aurora's. But good when you know what she and I are it is not very surprising." Amadeo said.
Aqua, despite being heard, decided to focus on the armor that would surely keep her from approaching Amadeo. She took her fighting position and the fight continued, but this time has an equal weapon.
For his part, Aaron looked out the window of the house in which he hid with a certain melancholy. How could a world so beautiful have disappeared? This is the question he has been asking since his arrival. This world outside the mobile game has never appeared elsewhere.
"What if by preventing Xehanort, I had provoked something more dangerous?" Achieved Aaron.
It was at this moment that he saw through the window in front of the house to his surprise Ava and Xion entering.
"Are you sure he's here?" Xion asked.
"This is the only place we didn't watch. And when you told me about an abandoned house, I thought it was here that he was hiding." Answered Ava.
Xion nodded and they enter the house before they start exploring it and once they climb the stairs, they find Aaron not trying to escape.
"Aaron..." Xion said not believing what she sees.
"Yeah, it's me. What are you doing here Xion?" Aaron asked surprised to see Xion in what appears to be his dream.
"It's up to me to ask you the question. I am in the process of passing my examination of the symbol of Mastery at Master Yen Sid." Xion answered.
"Wait, do you mean we're in a sleeping world?" Aaron asked those to whom Xion nodded.
"What are you talking about?" Ava asked, before hearing the floor of the creaked stairs.
The three Keyblade Wielders look towards the stairs to see the person following Ava and Xion. Aaron recognized immediately that it is Anti Black Coat.
"Oh shit. Of all the Dream Eaters, it had to be him." Said Aaron as the Anti Black Coat rushed to him and blocked him with his Keyblade, but the shock made them go through the window.
The Anti Black Coat conjured up a sword whose guard is the symbol of the nightmare Dream Eater and attacked Aaron who did his best to beat him. But with a Keyblade broken in two the fight was unfavorable and with the nightmare technique of stealing a little of the vitality of his opponent for this patient did not help him and he finished on his knees and exhausted.
The Anti Black Coat was not going to kill him, when Xion reached Keyblade to face the Anti Black Coat.
"Xion doesn't do that!" Aaron shouted, worrying for her.
"No! I will not let him hurt you!" Xion said refusing not to interfere in the fight as a barrier separating Xion, Aaron and the Anti Black Coat from the rest of Daybreak Town.
Xion rushed to the Anti Black Coat to prevent him from attacking Aaron, but suffered the same technique that drained his vitality weakening him more than Aaron.
She was also at the mercy of Anti Black Coat who was about to impale her with his sword before Aaron used his Keyblade to block the sword.
"You will not hurt her." Said Aaron struggling against his present condition.
The fight between him and the Anti Black Coat resumed, but this time Aaron became more brutal in his blows. At that moment, he wanted to protect Xion more than anything while synthetic materials in his pocket began to shine before entering his Keyblade and a blinding light.
And when the light faded, she revealed that her Keyblade had changed in appearance to look like Ultima's in Kingdom Hearts 2, but she seems more aggressive in her looks and colors. This is the Ultima Weapon Keyblade in Kingdom Hearts 3.
Now, he faced the Anti Black Coat again, but this time he managed to dodge each of his ranged attacks and hit him so hard that the barrier broke. His Keyblade then changed shape to a sword with a heart-shaped guard symbol. He continued to attack the Anti Black Coat before finishing with the Target Shot of his Keyblade, destroying the Anti Black Coat.
Once, the fight ended, he went to Xion and helped him up.
"You're okay?" Aaron asked.
"Yes, but you, are you okay?" Xion asked worried.
"Yeah, it's just a very powerful Dream Eater serving as a protection to prevent someone from waking up." Said Aaron with a bit of humor helping him get up.
"It means that once the Locks asleep of this unlocked world, you will wake up." Xion realized.
"It's possible." Said Aaron, before moving towards Ava. "A war will break out one day. And when that happens, take refuge in the same world as the one in which you sent the Dandelions." He said.
"How do you know?" Ava asked in surprise.
"I know a lot, but believe me, this war is going to kill a lot of people. And I don't want you to be part of it." Said Aaron, before going to town with Xion.
"Why did you tell him that?" Xion asked.
"Otherwise, it's me who will kill her. During a trip to the Keyblade Necropolis, I confronted all the Foretellers and killed them. The other Foretellers, I didn't care. But Ava is the one that hurt me the most. I wanted to save her. But she refused and gave me the title of Key Foreteller." Aaron explained.
"That's why you named your daughter after her? To show him respect?" Xion asked.
"Yes. I will not hold you back any longer. Unlock the Sleeping Lock and continue your exam." Said Aaron.
"Okay. And Aqua went to the starting country so if she did not come back to Master Yen Sid's tower, you know where to go." Xion said with a slight smile.
"Okay, thanks for the info, Master Xion." Aaron joked.
Xion popped up his Keyblade and unlocked the Sleeping Lock of this world as Aaron disappeared into a halo of light and whispered a sentence he could not hear.
"See you later, dad." She whispered a tear running down her face.
Aaron awoke in the Mysterious Tower where Terra and Ven immediately noticed his waking.
"Aaron!" Say the two Masters of the Keyblade before helping him up.
Aaron looked around him and a question immediately comes to his mind.
"Where is Ava?" He asked.
"She was kidnapped." Yen Sid replied.
Aaron looked at him with intense anger.
"You were supposed to protect her." Aaron said with some restraint in his voice.
"I'm sorry, but the person who committed the abduction managed to hide his presence and beat Roxas before kidnapping her." Yen Sid explained.
Suspecting the state of Aqua, Aaron used his armor and his new Keyblade in his Glider shape giving him a pair of wings resembling a white version of Scarlet's Flanders wings and he went to the Lanes Between to go in the Land of Departure.
Once there, he quickly entered the castle to see Aqua facing the Master's Armor, but with great difficulty and ended up being chained by golden chains created by the Keyblade wielding armor. She was about to hit him a blow that would have been fatal when Aaron interfered, his Keyblade and the armor colliding.
"Aaron..." Aqua said, stunned.
"Honey, I'm home." Said Aaron looking at Aqua before defeating the armor in one shot.
The chains holding Aqua disappear and Aaron took her in his arms.
"Aaron, our daughter..." said Aqua, before being interrupted by Aaron.
"I know. Don't worry, we'll save her, all right." Said Aaron wanting reassured him.
"How cute. Obviously, Aurora carried out its mission even if the consequence was not in the long term." Amadeo said noticing his presence to Aaron.
"So you are the head of this Organization XIII." Said Aaron seeing Amadeo.
"Yes. My name is Amadeo. You already met my wife, Aurora. She's the one who put you on the pressure that allowed her to knock you out. Used its resemblance to your worst nightmare to put you in a weak position." Amadeo said.
"Why are you doing this?" Aaron asked.
Amadeo removed his helmet revealing an almost perfect resemblance to Aaron except that his hair is white and his eyes amber, shocking Aqua and Aaron.
"Because of you two, we don't really exist." Amadeo said before he attacked Aaron with the Skull Noise Keybalde.
And when their Keyblade clashes, a wave of shock is spreading in all the worlds that restored their memory in the old chronology to all the Wielders of Keyblade, even those who currently passed their examinations of the symbol of mastery.
"How did you get this Keyblade?" Aaron asked, recognizing her.
"You'll find out soon enough, wrenching keys." Amadeo said.
"What do you mean?" Aaron asked before Aido put on his helmet and a dark portal appeared behind him.
"Go and collect yourself and you will understand." Amadeo said, before crossing her dark portal.
"Aaron... I remember what I should have lived without your arrival." Revealed Aqua, before hugging the man she loves. "All this loneliness in the Domain of Darkness." She said with tears in her eyes.
"Everything is fine Aqua. I am here, and I will not let that happen." Said Aaron hugging Aqua, stroking her hair and whispering reassuring words.
A few minutes later, Aaron and Aqua, having by the way, pray the Keyblades of Eraqus and Ava left with the Gummi vessel at the necropolis of Keyblades where is the tomb of Ava... open and visibly empty for a long time.
"He still didn't desecrate his grave?" Said Aqua shocked.
When Aaron got ready to answer his Gummiphone rang and he picked up revealing that Mickey was calling him.
"Aaron, you have to come to the Radiant Garden. It's urgent." Mickey said.
