It was easy to edit what KhFanWriter9 sent to me. Of course the work was long because of how long my chapters are. If your reading this than the editing is over.

At Mystery Tower Yan Sid sat in his chair behind his desk looking quite feared as he listens to the stars, and what they had to tell of the fight for the princesses of heart, and two of the last members the True Orgization thirteen.

"What happened to Roxas, and Sora great stars?"

Silence as the stars told the wizard, and his face became quite down hearted.

"No this can't happen. ... What? ... I hope this keyblader which you speak of can help the prisnors of this war. I never wanted to see this day come, but it seemed it did the war is sure to arrive now that the dark have all their pieces. The light must get their act together, and heal from their loss soon."

Aqua looked worried as she had a feeling looking at the stars that night. Axel stands beside her, "You feel it too?" Aqua looked at Axel, "I just have a feeling we just lost both of them to the dark side." Axel frowns, and sheds a tear, but toughens up. "Well maybe when the war comes we'll have a chance to save them. Anyway the rodent wants to see you there's something he found out before he got to you. Must be something secret, and personal from the past if the mouse won't tell anyone, but you, and Ven."

Aqua looks curious, and goes inside after she looks at Axel. "Don't worry I'll go look for him I don't have anything better to do." Was Axel's reply before he teleports away.

Axel looked around teleporting, and runs into Cloud who was taking a strol with Zack.

"Hey you two you seen Ven anywhere?" Zack looked confused, and Cloud shook his head no. "Only Leon, and Aerith know what he looks like." says Cloud. Zack had a memory check, "Oh now I remember sorry I'm still a bit dazed from being you know Dead." Zack says, "No we havn't seen him, but we'll keep you posted if we find him." says Zack, and Cloud nodded in agreement.

"Great another needle to find at least I got some help thanks I got to find him soon. Something tells me he might run off again." The nod, and go off to find him. Axel teleported again.

Ven woke up feeling more rested, but it was dark outside. He got a note from Aqua.

Ven where are you? Mickey found Terra thanks to Sora, but he had a message that he would tell me 'til we're both around to hear it.

Ven sighs, and just crumbled the letter. He had to go if Aqua's looking for him no matter how much he want to know about it. This was his only chance. Ven decided to make a portal of light, and went through, "Sorry Aqua..."

Stevile woke up half way after having a nightmare, and blinks a bit. Namine was checking on him. "Hey you ok?" Stevile nodded, "Yeah I'm fine I just had a bad dream that's all." He tries to get up, but Namine makes him stay down. "You should rest some more before attempting to move." Stevile sighs, and nods as he settles back down, and thinks. He was so worried about Kairi, and thought of what might be in store for them maybe that was what his triggered his nightmare.

"So what's going on out there?" He asks as Namine sat there looking a bit worried herself.

"Huh?... Nothing we're just resting, and Aqua is wondering where Ven could be." Stevile just looked away, "Oh..." He knew where Ven might be leaving if he hadn't already it seemed like a good chance to. He yawns a little, and Namine leaves him alone, he tried to get up, but couldn't move, so he stayed there. Stevile knew he shouldn't, but he wanted to be there with Ven. He sighs as he lays there with a frown stuck on his features.

Ven was on the same ship as he was on before with Vanitas in the world of Port Roxas.

There was a cursed pirate stearing it, and after asking him, the pirate led the ship to the island that was full of the most monsters. Ven took off telling the pirate not to leave him. The pirate was only listening to him 'cause of Vanitas.

Ven took the unversed, and heartless out they were the most powerful then of what Ven has faced so far. Ven can't get hurt this time, so he fought at his best. Turns out that island had the keyhole, so he took on the giant heartless, and Unversed, and huffed as he rested on the ship's deck.

"There's still work for you to do on other islands." says the cursed pirate, and Ven nodded, "Right let's go than." The pirate nodded, and they decended the island to go to another one.

XXX

Aqua was saddened when Axel came back with no luck, "We've looked everywhere, but there's no sign of him anywhere."

It was now after midnight, and there was no way Axel could search 'til later. He was too tired. Aqua sighed, "Alright let's call it a night than." Axel smiled, and let Cloud, and Zack know to search was off 'til morning.

Stevile just stared at the wall knowing it was so pointless to even look 'cause Ven was in another world.

Aqua goes to check on Stevile, "Hey how are you feeling?"

"I'm fine can I get up?" He tries to get up, and Aqua makes him lay back down, "No not yet try to sleep the whole night Stev. Oh I wish Terra was here, he would had caught Ven by now."

Stevile waits 'til everyone was asleep, or at least tried, he had fallen asleep as well, and now it was four in the morning. He gets up, gets dressed, and goes on a walk.

Stevile reached the refurmished castle, and looks around. He stumbed upon the note Aqua had wrote. Which was the proof he needed that Ven had left the world 'cause the aura In the room told him also that a portal was opened here. "So this is where you were hid by him Ven. Where did you go?" Stevile said softly.

After Ven was done with Port Royal his eyes were barely opened as the cursed pirate than parked the ship, and Ven had to fight him now. "Sorry I got orders." Ven nods, "It's ok do it buddy." The cursed pirate name Matt nodded wanting to cry as Ven knew this was part of his test.

Ven knew that he will be going against his lover, and defeating a friend he came to know made a good practice fight for the events in the near future. Ven, and Matt fought as he used magic which in his heart knew to use it against Matt. Ven made it look like he never knew that magic leads to his victory by using a frosty attack that frozed Matt for a short time.

Finally Ven shouts, "This is it Matt." Ven says.

"Yes it is, but are you willing to throw that final blow?" Matt says as he looks so helpless on the deck.

"I... I..." Ven hesitated, "St.. Stand up I can't do it if you lay there."

"Ah I see you can't Looks like you need more training Ven."

"I can just stand up."

"If I stand than it will be me throwing the final blow. You can't do it Ven that's what the test shows, and that scranny little heartless up there in the crow's nest has all the info it needs for my boss. I've done my part, and now I must go to erase our time together. He doesn't want anyone to know incase your friends show up."

"No... don't I'm the only one that will be showing up here."

"No one can know about the test Ven. Now either I do it, or you, what's going to be?" Matt started to stand, and Ven fired a wind attack to throw the friend to the mast which was the final blow as Ven made himself watch Matt get taken by death, or whatever. "Good bye Matt." Ven shed a tear.

"Don't cry Ven you made an well fought out opponent. I'm glad I was defeated by a strong man."

"What? He told you?!"

"Yeah I'm neither among the dead, or living, but I can see your true self, and o when I asked him, and he said it was true."

"He planned me on killing you that's why he told you a secret we never tell any outside sorce."

"Yes ... Good by' Ven." Ven watched, and takes off on his glider sending a guest of wind through the whole world to make his leave a secret.

As for the heartless that had been taking notes it had successfully fled with the test results to Vanitas.

XXX

Vanitas woke feeling Ven's sorrow, and despair, and sees the heartless come in. "Well?"

The heartless layed all the notes on the desk, and Vanitas shot it to paralyze it, and it squeaked in horror as Vanitas brought down his keyblade on the small knight heartless.

XXX

Ven was so wrapped up in his thoughts that he barely noticed as his eyes closed on him, and...

"Huh?... Whoa oh no! Ahhhhhh!" Was the next Ven knew as his glider had deactivated itself, and Ven was falling to a world that was closest among the worlds that he hadn't been to yet that was covered in darkness.

Ven felt his body change as he fell through, and saw blue skies. His yell was loud, and he sees barely that his hands were spotted paws.

There was a distant yell, and soon Ven was caught by.. Ger-affs? Ven looks around at the open range filed of tall grass. "Wow!"

The ger-affs laughed quietly, "You're acting like a cub for a cheeta, or a lepard of two, and three quarters old." says one of them.

Ven went wide eyed as the tall spotted animal with a long neck's words. His body must have shown his true form. "Ye-Yeah I'm ready. It sure is a nice place."

The ger-affs put Ven down gently, and Ven looks around as he sat there. His heart seemed to know how to walk, and sit. He noticed he was a by a small pond with a tree, and a rock, and looks into it to see his reflection.

It was true he was either a lepard, or a cheeta as he looked as his spotted covered yellow body. His hair on top of his head was a bit spikey as if it had been a tad smushed down by hair gel. "Oh thank goodness the ger-aff had caught you in time." says a female voice.

Ven looks to see a light yellowed lionest that his memory had no clue of. "I see you're still shock from the fall. It's a good thing Pride Rock has such a high view, or I wouldn't had seen you. I'm Kerra, who are you?"

"I'm Ventus, but Ven will do just fine. Where am I?" He pretended, but knew the place was called the pride lands for keeping his secret that his heart had been here, but not the rest of himself.

"We should hurry to Pride Rock before those dark monsters come back. C'mon this way, hurry."

Ven stood on his four paws still Eh from the fall, and his eyes felt like they were being held open as he followed Kerra with a fast sprint. This proves he must be a cheeta than instead of an lepard. He kept his pace though, so he couldn't pass the grown lionist if he could. "Are cheetas even allowed at Pride Rock? I heard rumors that only lions go inside there."

"I know, but maybe daddy won't mind from how gruesome it is around here. Where are you from? You don't seem from around here."

"I'm from the jungle near the O-a-sous."

"Oh that's why you don't know much, do you a warthog, and a Merkat? They live there as well, but come to visit."

"No I don't.' Ven felt so sorry for lieing so much, but he had to. It was mostly true 'cause his heart was only here, and he might add vaguely remembered anything.

As they reach the giant rock formation Kerra made Ven stay outside while she goes to find her parents. The cheeta sighed, and sat as he looked around.

"Hey Cheeta, don't you know your kind isn't welcome around here?"

Ven looked to see a darkish looking young male lion that had a scar on his left eye, and a black mane. "Kerra brought me here, so there's no need for that." Ven says as he just sat there.

Kuvu looked at Ven, and backed off, "Hmm.. Alright, but I'll be keeping my eye on you if you start trouble around here I'll be on you before you even have a chance to use your speedy paws to get away from my pounce."

Ven nods, "Right I get it."

Kuvu just made this face with a slight annoyed growl as he walked out of sight, but Ven was sure he was still being watched.

Ven flicked his tail as he looked in the distance, and sighed from how it felt from his heart feeling happy to be back here, and his body, and brain were just curious all the time. It was ratter confusing sometimes as well.

Kerra comes back with a very familiar male lion to Ven's heart, but he just went with the whole just seeing the lion for the first time thing to keep his secret.

The golden lion that had an red mane looked at Ven, and saw something he'd seen only when Sora was here, and noticed Kuvu was watching Ven, "Kerra go on, and have Kuvu train with your pouncing I want to be alone with the new cheeta."

Kerra nods, "Um ok daddy." She took off.

As soon as the young lion couple were gone Simba seemed to change a little. "Now that we're alone I can ask you some questions outsider of this world."

Ven gasped fakely, "A world outsider? I'm just a cheeta."

Simba pounced at Ven, and the keyblade appeared in his mouth as he jumped away.

"That blade is the same as a dear friend of mine used to have. Which is all the proof I need for my evidence Ven. Are you a friend of Sora, or an enemy, why have you come here?"

Might as well just tell him the truth than... Ven thought, and looked up at Simba, "A friend we're pretty much siblings, and I fell here from being so tired, but me landing here seems like a good thing from the monsters I heard about."

"Good to know about Sora. Now that's all cleared up you can rest in that little cave over there with the tree. Dinner wise you're on your own cheeta. That's the rules of life here."

"Right I'm ok with that thank you."

"Oh silly me... I'm Simba, and if you need directions around here Nala my wife will help you, or Refeki the owner of the tree you'll be sleeping by."

"Ok than thank you as soon as I'm rested I'll get to work, and be off from here."

"Ha same old thing, good thing I'm used to it from Sora. Make sure to be very careful in the giant yard of bones a ways from here where the hyenas lurk, and the outlands are full of crock-I-dile infested waters. Kuvu could be a guide for you there if you ask him, but it seems he doesn't trust you from your form that's very natural."

"Right I'll remember all that, and yeah he doesn't, but that's ok. Well I'll be going to rest then." Ven, and Simba part, and Simba watches Ven zoom off to the tiny place to sleep from the rock entrance.

"Simba is everything ok?" says the gorgous looking female lionist queen of Pride Rock. With her almost white fur, and bright blue eyes as she sits by her lover.

"Hey dear, yes everything's fine a friend of Sora just literally dropped in at just the right time."

Nala looked at him curiously, "Really, how do you know?"

"He has that same object that Sora had when he fights those creatures we've seen that had aligned with those new ones."

"Oh I see now, so what's his name?"

"It's Ventus, but he goes by Ven."

"Alright than Simba poor guy thought I hope he can hunt for himself."

"I sure he can, but we have to still keep the secret from Kerra, and the others though."

"Right."

When Ven got to the place he made a soft roar, and met Refeki, "You there why are you here?"

"Simba says I can sleep here since I'm a cheeta, and not a lion. We're niebors 'til I get some energy back."

"Oh ho I see now!" The baboon looked at Ven, and spoke again. "I can see you have trouble in your present life, what is it, and your body seems older, but I can see that out there your body presents itself younger than you are now."

Ven sighs, "I can't tell you anything, and I'm going to pass out again soon, so if you don't mind neibor." Ven says as he pretty much shut the door on the baboon as nicely as he could. "I see, I still want answers once you awaken cheeta."

"It's Ventus." Ven lays down by the wall, and sleepily sees a mouse come out of an hole. Ven caught the mouse with his paw, and ate it before he settled down curling up. He looks to see the baboon was gone finally, and Ven just thought of how Vanitas would had looked if he was here with him. He probally be a lion, or a black cat like animal that was a bit higher up the scale then him, and the same age that he is. Ven yawns with a quiet mild growl, and looks to see finally a female lion had came, and that made Ven get up quickly.

It was E-tunny a lion that now lives with the rest of them after their clans had joined. "Hey you hungry?" Ven thought, "I just ate a mouse a few minits ago, but sure I guess. Why though?"

"The rules don't bother me your an outsider just like I used to be, so eat with me."

"Ok than I'm Ventus, Ven will work though what's your name?"

She had ate the first bite of her kill which was one rule she followed, and Ven respected that. "E-tunny, but you can call me just Tunny if you like cute stuff."

Ven sort of frowned at that, but he had hid it by taking a bite out of the meat of Tunny's kill. [slanted] Great this lion likes me too much. [end of slanted] His thoughts were interupped from the lionist speaking again.

"So it may be against the rules of nature, but do you have anyone special in your clan?"

"All cheeta are alone we don't have clans when we're adults, and I do have someone, but we aren't in the same living area." He eats half of the last bite, and Tunny ate the other half happily.

"You do know your kind doesn't really have mates. So you wouldn't mind if I have something of yours, right?"

Ven backed off, "I can't."

She suddenly just pounced on him, and he got out of the way just in time. "Why not am I not good enough for you is that it?"

"No I just go to that certain female every time I'm in the mood for that." He really hated lieing, but what else can he do in his heart it was saying gayness, or males aren't usally with other males in this world.

"Oh forget her I'm much better unlike you I mate, and I pick you." Ven yaowed shouting in his mind for Vanitas to show up just this once before this girl r*** him. Ven fought as much as he could against her without his keyblade, and suddenly a black cheeta pounced on Tunny with a roar.

"Back off he's mine, leave now!"

Tunny looked so surprised as the two, or three year old black cheeta was a male, and not a lady. "You lied to me Ven, but I don't blame you. Males can not be with other males."

Ven had been so happy that Vanitas had shown just this once, and hid behind him. "I'm sorry Tunny thanks for the food just leave please." Ven tried to save her from Vanitas's raft, and Tunny looked at the cheeta on top of her, and roared at Vanitas.

"How dare you threaten me after I just feed-"

"He said thank you, and that's all you get as your reward. You should follow Ven's warning, and flee while you have this final chance to."

Tunny growled, but left the cave as for Ven, Vanitas looked to him, and Ven looked at him. "We should go somewhere else before she comes back with more." Ven nods, but yawns, and Vanitas sees that Ven is too tired. So Vanitas puts Ven on his back as Ven held on, and took off the baboon had watched the whole thing from the growling, and sees that Ven was making trouble that they had ended up at the elephant graveyard safe from the lions that will surely be looking for them now. "I'm sorry I made you carry me." Ven says tiredly, and Vanitas lays Ven down in the small floor of the skull they were in. "Just rest already." Vanitas nuzzles the tired Ven, and lays down beside him. Ven nods, and scoots closer, or tired to ,and Vanitas laughed, and pulled Ven into his arms, and rests his front, and back legs on Ven as he layed on his left side as he guarded Ven from the entrance as the wind blew in.

Ven smiled, and the two cheetas were purring, but they heard laughter from a bunch of hyenas, and Ven got up. "Hyenas." Vanitas made Ven lie back down. "I got this just sleep." Ven curled up obeyently, and just watched as he rests his head on his tail for a pillow.

Vanitas came out, and growled, "Oh it's just a cheeta whew, and here I thought it was a lion. You look strong I bet you have good meat on you trespasser where's the other one that was seen?" says a female hyena known as Shiki, who was with two males these three were the leaders of the hyena clan.

"You get any closer, and I'll be the one to eat your meat off your bones."

They laugh, but before they could speak Vanitas had hit them all with his keyblade, and they coward in fear. "Ahh it's that thing that puny brown spiky lion had run1"

Vanitas just watched them flee, and he dismissed his keyblade from his mouth, and goes back inside annoyed from the third thing he had to protect Ven from around these parts. He sees Ven was struggling to stay awake, and Vanitas pulls the normal colored cheeta close to him. "I told you to sleep."

'I was worried." Ven didn't have to explain it, and Vanitas kisses Ven as he silent him. "I know I feel what you do now please get some rest."

"Will... Will you be here when I wake?"

"Yes now close those innocent eyes, and dream sweet dreams for the both of us."

Ven smiled tiredly, and nuzzles Vanitas before finally letting his body rest as his eyes close as his head rests against Vanitas's fur covered chest.

Vanitas smiled, and licked Ven's body before resting there on his side, and curls up around Ven's half curled up body, and closed his eyes, but his eyes opened again when he heard a voice in his head.

Vanitas what are you doing come back at once!

The voice was master Xahenort, and Vanitas ignored him as he closed his eyes. "Have to keep Ventus safe from those hyenas that will eat him in his sleep if I leave. Isn't that what's important keeping him alive old man?"

The voice didn't answer again, so Vanitas was sure the old man accepted this, and again closes his eyes smiling as he soon fell asleep as well.

Aqua was worried it was now almost the afternoon, and they still couldn't find Ven. "Don't worry Aqua we'll find him."

"... Mickey what did Terra say I should hear it since Ven probally isn't even on this planet anymore."

"What Aqua how can you say that, he's here I know it."

"No he isn't, so tell me what did Terra say before I go off looking for Ven again. Stevile you stay right there." Aqua shouted as she sees Stevile try to walk out. Mickey can see that things were getting bad here. He guess there's no other choice. "Alright I'll tell you."

When Aqua had heard that she gasped. "You mean he's guarding the graveyard?"

Mickey nodded, "Yep that's what he told me."

"And the portal is at your castle?" Aqua says as they talked behind a locked door.

"Yes!" The mouse squeaked.

"I have to go find Ven."

"What no Aqua we need you here to get all we have left ready for the war!"

"How can I help with that?"

"By training the keybladers we got here. Now please just stay here I know that's what master Yan Cid would want."

Aqua thought of her old teacher as well, and sighed. "Ok let's do it, but we still got a problem."

Mickey smiled at that, but looked at her quizally, "Really, what?"

"Stevile going off to find Ven."...

Stevile sighed as no one would let him leave again, he need to find Kairi, and sitting here isn't helping with anything. "Hmm?" He sees Mickey, and Aqua come out of the room, and hid. Aqua had made a announcement, and as the others trained the remaining of the seven of light. Aqua got a not from Master Xahenort himself. He could tell from Aqua's face that the note wasn't good news. When he got a chance knowing no one was going to tell him Stevile grabs the note, and hides as he reads it.

The note was just going on about something, but the main thing was Sora, and Roxas are now apart of his group now which was what had brought horror to Stevile's face.

XXX

Ven opens his eyes blinking, "Egh..." He looks to see what his head was resting on, and smiles as the spikey headed black spotted wild cat was lying there asleep as he protected Ven from the dangers of the world. He had forgotten what he had been through 'til he looked at the seen surroundings he had seen before falling asleep ,and the fact that his body walked on all fours, and he had a spotted long tail, and had roared quietly as he yawned before cleaning his face with his paw after licking it.

Ven was still fighting, and the hyenas see Ven, and Vanitas listens to them chatter. "Him too? Man how come the only food we could find is too dangerous to even attempt at hunting?" says the boy hyena that could talk. "I don't know now quit that, and let's go look for some real food before the monsters show up even more out there." says the female hyena of the group.

Vanitas sees that Ven was finished, and was there to catch the dehydrated cheeta, who was out of breath. Vanitas looks down at him, "We should find some water, you're getting quite strong already."

Ven smiled, and let's Vanitas pick him up again to res on his back while they teleport to the Oasous to drink some water.

"What does Venny?" Vanitas says quizally as he licks Ven's chest, and got some moans from him.

"I mean .. that it feels weird with mm that we .. ah Vani! ... our bodies show.." Ven moaned loudly as Vanitas was doing something between Ven's back legs as Ven lies on his back. "I get it, it feels weird to you, but it feels real to me that our true age is showing in this world." Vanitas continues on with what he was doing, and Ven continues to moan loudly as he pants.

Ven couldn't say anything since there was nothing really to say as he just enjoyed the passion, and pleasure of his lover's moves on his body, and had moaned pretty loud at the end for him before Vanitas kisses him, and their bodies had connected while Ven layed on his stomach. "Scream for me Venny, scream."

Ven just moan, and pants. "Ahhhh! Vani Oh dam it!" Was Ven yaowing for his love that made Vanitas smile as he continues between Ven's back legs 'til the end.

XXX

Ven pants, and his eyes were barely opened as Vanitas lays beside beside him laying there on his right side as he panted smiling from the ride they just endured. Ven continues to pant, and Vanitas just stares into Ven's eyes while Ven stares into his.

A gasp of air came into Ven's lungs as he finally caught his breath, "Vani I love you." Ven's eyes closed, and his head rests against Vanitas's chest as his body went limp as he now sleeps.

Vanitas laughed quietly, and nuzzles Ven careful to not wake him. "I love you too Venny, sweet dreams." Vanitas lays there watching Ven as he slept in an light sleep, and hears things running around, and all kinds of chatter going on.

Vanitas woke up, and sees Ven was still asleep, he gets up to go to the bathroom.

Ven had woken to feeling a ball of warmth had disappeared, and sees he was alone. He felt sore, and used his tail to rub at his butt as he then sat there cleaning his face before looking into the pool of water to soon to drink it. He looks as he heard a rustle in the bushes, and growled as he stood.

A black spotted paw appeared from the bushes, and Ven calmed down. "Sorry Vani I thought it was something else."

Vanitas smiled at how cute Ven looked as he sat there looking ashamed. He lughed, and nuzzled Ven kissing his cheek. "I told you I wasn't going to leave you, and I won't 'til you leave this world."

Ven smiled, and rests his head against his shoulder as they sat there.

Vanitas smiled purring, and soon drunk the water as well. Vanitas had no idea why, but he felt like having more fun with Ven, and splashes him with his paw.

Ven doged, and tackled him into the pool that ended up with the two nipping, and biting each other as they swam in the water playing like two cubs as they roared, and growled they were having a thrill of an time, and were being watched.

A male warthog, and meerkat watched, "E yaah it's two cheetas c'mon Pumba let's get out of here."

"Oh Timone they're only playing like cubs even if their adults they must be brothers."

"They're not brothers Pumba, they're those cheetas we're looking for Simba."

"But why Tomune they seem nice."

"They broke a major rule in balance of nature. They're mates."

"Oh... ew... I guess you're right let's go."

The meerkat gets on his friend's back, and the red warthog with black hair runs off with the red haired, gold, or dark yellow fur coated meerkat.

When they got there Vanitas puts Ven down, and Ven drinks out of the pool of water as he layed there next to it. Vanitas smiled at Ven's cuteness, and goes to take a drink himself as his tongue takes in the water into his mouth for his throat to swallow.

Once they drunk their fill of water Ven gets up, and goes to fight more, but Vanitas makes him stop. The end up snuggling under a bit of trees as they lie in the shade, and Vanitas starts to kiss Ven, and Ven kisses back. "This feels weird Vani."

Ven, and Vanitas were now on shore licking each other as they dry off. Vanitas, and Ven drank more water once they finished, and were about to go ot he outlands when Ven finished taking out the Unversed, and heartless in the jungle.

Nala appeared roaring, "Ven! You have broken the giant rule of nature itself, and you, and your mate must be punished for it." Vanitas takes out his keyblade, and goes to fight her.

Ven looks at the situation, "No don't!" There was a growl of pain as Nala was hurt, and was about to be killed if Ven didn't do something. Ven takes out his keyblade, and struck Vanitas away from Nala as Vanitas lies on the ground with his eyes shut. "Go now!" Ven growled.

Vanitas growled, and jumped, but Tunny got to him now vanitas was ripping Tunny apart, and she was going to die soon as Vanitas didn't use his keyblade.

Ven knocked Vanitas off again. "Nala!" Ven growled out. Nala shook her head no. "I can't Ven I have to do it."

"Get going or you'll end up like Tunny over there."

Nala was now joined by Kuvu who had pinned Ven. "I told you what would happen if you caused any trouble no one hurts my sister, and gets away with it."

"Kuvu enough!"

Kuvu, and Ven look to see Simba. The darker lion backed off growling, and Simba appeared, but Ven kept his distance, and stayed between Simba, and Vanitas to keep his dark half love under control.

"Ventus you know that the punishment is death if any cheeta attacks any lion."

Vanitas, and Simba fight, and Simba was thrown to the ground injured, and covered in blood. Ven stops him. "We don't have to fight we won't be here much longer once the monsters are all gone." Ven says as he looks to Simba.

Simba weakly looked to Ven in understanding, and nods, "Agreed now get going I don't wish to see other lions get hurt as badly as E-tunny."

Ven, and Vanitas leave as the black cheeta leaves before the normal colored one leaves right after.

Kuvu looks to Simba with Timone asking the questions. "Simba are you sure, we can still catch them."

"I'm sure Timone now let's take care of E-tunny, and Nala."

Vanitas, and Ven make it to the outlands hungry they see the pool full of crockidiles, and the two use their keyblades to kill all of them 'til there was one left. Vanitas, and Ven both jump on the crockdile without their keyblades, and attack it as the crock snapped, and fought for its life, but failed.

Ven was now on shore, and Vanitas was pulling the crock from the water ven helped a little though, but not that much. "So who gets to eat it first?"

Vanitas just pawed Ven in the face. "Just eat we are cheetas now lions." Ven nods, and the two both ate as Ven took the bottom half, and Vanitas took the top half of the dead crockidile.

After they filled their stomachs the hyenas had appeared, and were amazed that so many crockidiles were dead floating in the water. "Hey did you two kill all of those?" says the male hyena.

"You know all that meat will go to waste if that one crock you just ate is all you tend to eat." says the female hyena of the trio.

Ven looks to her, 'Well go on, and eat then there's plenty for all of your clan, you can swim right?"

The hyennas look hopefully to the two as the cheetas were cleaning the blood from each other. "If you three can't swim than find someone in your clan that can we're out of here. This one has monsters to kill off." Was Vanitas's reply, and the hyenas got to work collecting the meat for their whole clan gratefully.

"You two are alright if you plan to sleep in our domain you can sleep for weeks if you want." says Shiki, and the other two agreed. "Yeah what she said.", and "Uh huh!" from Ed nodding.

Ven, and Vanitas run, and Vanitas layed in a tree as Ven got to work.

It was now night, and Ven had one more place to hit before he could leave the grasslands itself with only the rest he had gotten from before their little swim.

The unversed were commanded by Vanitas, and the heartless followed as the monsters joined together to form a gaint fierce looking Jungle cat. That roared so loudly it was heard in every inch of the world.

Ven took out his keyblade as he face the creature alone while Vanitas watched from above the tall tree, and the baboon watched as well. Vanitas threatened to knock him out the tree if he spoke one breath to him as he sat there.

Ven roared back at the creature, and ran at it keyblade in hand, he fought as hard as he could the creature had fought back.

Vanitas woke up, and sees Ven was still asleep, he gets up to go to the bathroom.

Ven had woken to feeling a ball of warmth had disappeared, and sees he was alone. He felt sore, and used his tail to rub at his butt as he then sat there cleaning his face before looking into the pool of water to soon to drink it. He looks as he heard a rustle in the bushes, and growled as he stood.

A black spotted paw appeared from the bushes, and Ven calmed down. "Sorry Vani I thought it was something else."

Vanitas smiled at how cute Ven looked as he sat there looking ashamed. He lughed, and nuzzled Ven kissing his cheek. "I told you I wasn't going to leave you, and I won't 'til you leave this world."

Ven smiled, and rests his head against his shoulder as they sat there.

Vanitas smiled purring, and soon drunk the water as well. Vanitas had no idea why, but he felt like having more fun with Ven, and splashes him with his paw.

Ven doged, and tackled him into the pool that ended up with the two nipping, and biting each other as they swam in the water playing like two cubs as they roared, and growled they were having a thrill of an time, and were being watched.

A male warthog, and meerkat watched, "E yaah it's two cheetas c'mon Pumba let's get out of here."

"Oh Timone they're only playing like cubs even if their adults they must be brothers."

"They're not brothers Pumba, they're those cheetas we're looking for Simba."

"But why Tomune they seem nice."

"They broke a major rule in balance of nature. They're mates."

"Oh... ew... I guess you're right let's go."

The meerkat gets on his friend's back, and the red warthog with black hair runs off with the red haired, gold, or dark yellow fur coated meerkat. Ven smiled, and let's Vanitas pick him up again to rest on his back while they teleport to the Oasous to drink some water.

Ven, and Vanitas were now on shore licking each other as they dry off. Vanitas, and Ven drank more water once they finished, and were about to go ot he outlands when Ven finished taking out the Unversed, and heartless in the jungle.

Nala appeared roaring, "Ven! You have broken the giant rule of nature itself, and you, and your mate must be punished for it." Vanitas takes out his keyblade, and goes to fight her.

Ven looks at the situation, "No don't!" There was a growl of pain as Nala was hurt, and was about to be killed if Ven didn't do something. Ven takes out his keyblade, and struck Vanitas away from Nala as Vanitas lies on the ground with his eyes shut. "Go now!" Ven growled.

Vanitas growled, and jumped, but Tunny got to him now vanitas was ripping Tunny apart, and she was going to die soon as Vanitas didn't use his keyblade.

Ven knocked Vanitas off again. "Nala!" Ven growled out. Nala shook her head no. "I can't Ven I have to do it."

"Get going or you'll end up like Tunny over there."

Nala was now joined by Kuvu who had pinned Ven. "I told you what would happen if you caused any trouble no one hurts my sister, and gets away with it."

"Kuvu enough!"

Kuvu, and Ven look to see Simba. The darker lion backed off growling, and Simba appeared, but Ven kept his distance, and stayed between Simba, and Vanitas to keep his dark half love under control.

"Ventus you know that the punishment is death if any cheeta attacks any lion."

Vanitas, and Simba fight, and Simba was thrown to the ground injured, and covered in blood. Ven stops him. "We don't have to fight we won't be here much longer once the monsters are all gone." Ven says as he looks to Simba.

Simba weakly looked to Ven in understanding, and nods, "Agreed now get going I don't wish to see other lions get hurt as badly as E-tunny."

Ven, and Vanitas leave as the black cheeta leaves before the normal colored one leaves right after.

Kuvu looks to Simba with Timone asking the questions. "Simba are you sure, we can still catch them."

"I'm sure Timone now let's take care of E-tunny, and Nala."

Vanitas, and Ven make it to the outlands hungry they see the pool full of crockidiles, and the two use their keyblades to kill all of them 'til there was one left. Vanitas, and Ven both jump on the crockdile without their keyblades, and attack it as the crock snapped, and fought for its life, but failed.

Ven was now on shore, and Vanitas was pulling the crock from the water ven helped a little though, but not that much. "So who gets to eat it first?"

Vanitas just pawed Ven in the face. "Just eat we are cheetas now lions." Ven nods, and the two both ate as Ven took the bottom half, and Vanitas took the top half of the dead crockidile.

After they filled their stomachs the hyenas had appeared, and were amazed that so many crockidiles were dead floating in the water. "Hey did you two kill all of those?" says the male hyena.

"You know all that meat will go to waste if that one crock you just ate is all you tend to eat." says the female hyena of the trio.

Ven looks to her, 'Well go on, and eat then there's plenty for all of your clan, you can swim right?"

The hyennas look hopefully to the two as the cheetas were cleaning the blood from each other. "If you three can't swim than find someone in your clan that can we're out of here. This one has monsters to kill off." Was Vanitas's reply, and the hyenas got to work collecting the meat for their whole clan gratefully.

"You two are alright if you plan to sleep in our domain you can sleep for weeks if you want." says Shiki, and the other two agreed. "Yeah what she said.", and "Uh huh!" from Ed nodding.

Ven, and Vanitas run, and Vanitas layed in a tree as Ven got to work.

It was now night, and Ven had one more place to hit before he could leave the grasslands itself with only the rest he had gotten from before their little swim.

The unversed were commanded by Vanitas, and the heartless followed as the monsters joined together to form a gaint fierce looking Jungle cat. That roared so loudly it was heard in every inch of the world.

Ven took out his keyblade as he face the creature alone while Vanitas watched from above the tall tree, and the baboon watched as well. Vanitas threatened to knock him out the tree if he spoke one breath to him as he sat there.

Ven roared back at the creature, and ran at it keyblade in hand, he fought as hard as he could the creature had fought back too in the end Ven won as an giant heart flew up into the sky.

Vanitas showed up to see Ven scratched, and nicked as he lies there. Vanitas licks Ven's wounds as Ven layed there blinking repeatily to keep himself wake. When Vanitas pulled away Ven used curaga to hela himself, and passed out.

Kerra appeared as Vanitas picks Ven up to go rest in the graveyard. "You should get going now, and leave now!"

Vanitas thought he wasn't sure Ven could make it through the dark portal in this state, so he looks to Kerra. "I will take him once he has enough energy."

Kerra roared, "No you take him right now before I kill him, and you. Please go!" Kerra didn't want to do it, and Vanitas can see it. Vanitas makes sure Ven was secured on his back, and opens a dark portal right in front of the lionist, and walks through with Ven hearing a gasp that was ignored as Vanitas closed the portal behind them.

Vanitas appeared in Echanted Dominion which was where he wanted to go incase what he thought had came true. Vanitas was now out of his armor 'cause it was too small same as his clothes, and his hair was longer. He looks to ven in his arms, and sees that he had indured the same thing. Ven was also too big for his clothes, and they were making marks from how tight they seemed to be on Ven.

"Oh my so the spell had broken we should make hast, and refit those clothes." says the red fairy that had appeared from feeling Vanitas enter their world.

Vanitas just watched the fairies at work as they had refitted Ven's, and his clothes. Vanitas put his armor back on which now fit him perfectly again helmit, and all. He gave Ven to the faires, but Ven was too heavy now for them. Vanitas ends up laying Ven in an bed at their shop, and portals away after kissing Ven's forehead.

Vanitas reports to the old man, "Who are you?"

With a deeper verson of his voice Vanitas replies. "Oh c'mon old man you don't recognize me from all the time I've spent with you?" Vanitas takes off his helmit to show his face with his longer spikes in their place now.

"That world you were in showed your true self, and being there for so long made the spell break."

"Yes, and the same thing has happened to Ventus."

"I see, intreging, but not important. You must get used to your body in its human state now." The old man appeared next to Vanitas with his keyblade out. "Now fight me!"

Vanitas knew this was a test, but still wanted to break a hip on the old man. He fights him as hard as he could.

The old man was on his knees on the floor. "Well done Vanitas.. You finally have completed your training. Now go, and see Sepiroth, and fight him. If You defeat him come back, and train our new recruits."

Vanitas nodded, and portals away.

Ven woke up slightly as his eyes blink open. "Hey dearly how are you feeling?" Ven looks to see the green good fairy. "Where's Vanitas?" Ven than noticed his voice sounded different.

"He disappeared into a dark portal."

"Oh he did..." Ven sighed sadly, and sits up to drink the water the fairy had for him. He noticed his hands looked bigger, and his arms felt longer. He felt his hair was a bit longer as well. "Um can I have a mirror?"

"Ok, but before you break it from shock you should know you're no longer a boy Ven, the spell had ridden of itself from the last world you went to."

"Oh I guess when I changed from a cheeta back to a human my true age had permently stayed with my body. I was an adult in that world as an three, or two year old cheeta."

"Here you go Ven."

Ven looks at himself in the mirror, and sees how grown he looks. He laughs, "I bet Aqua will be very stumped 'til she knows about this. She'll be looking for a boy, but a man is what she's looking for now." Ven puts the mirror down, and tries to move a little more. "Oh no stay down just a little longer Ven. You're still healing from whatever you had fought in that world."

Ven sighs, and lays there, "Ok green fairy." He looks out the window thinking, and the green fairy leaves the room. I wonder what he looks like if the same thing happened to him. Ven sighs passionally as he thinks of how his lover must look like now, and while he thought his eyes had closed on him, and his body had fallen asleep as his mind ran on in its thoughts.

Vanitas heads back to Darkness Valley, and sees that Sepiroth, and Genisis were outside he smirked as he thought of what their reaction might be before they recognize him if they do.

The two had already felt the darkness that entered, but were confused. "I thought Vanitas came back where is he Sepir."

"No idea Geni, but there's a new guy here. I'll see what he wants."

Vanitas sees Sepiroth teleport in front of him, and smiles as Sepiroth asks who he was, and why for his appearance here. "Vanitas is my name still even if that spell my light half had is now released from him after visiting a certain world."

Sepiorth was intrigued, and Genisis teleported wondering what had interested Sepiroth so. "Who are you?" He put a hand on his hip like a jealous lady.

Vanitas laughed out loud, and Sepiroth smirked as well. "What?!" Genisis was getting angrier, and that made the giggles worst. As the smirk grew into a smile on Sepiroth's face.

"Sepiroth you got 'til three to tell me who is this guy right now."

"The spell on Vanitas broke his body now matches his mind, it's Vanitas Geni."

"What a spell, you weren't a kid at all inside that body of yours?!"

"Nope I wasn't." Vanitas still laughed a little for the both of them from how Genisis reacted to him which was better than what he had imagined would.

When Vanitas fought Sepiroth, he was told first that no one can kill him unless they were Cloud. Vanitas didn't care about that though. He, and Sepiroth fought, and Genisis watched from the base's rooftop with snacks, and a drink. He wasn't worried 'cause he knew about that as well.

Vanitas dodged what he can at Sepiroth as they fought in the air, and on the ground which was Vantias's terms. Vanitas wasn't cut 'cause of his armor, but he made sure to not let the sword strike him for other oponents he will face. Xahenort had told Vanitas he needed to be ready 'cause Terra was guarding the keyblade graveyard.

He fought hard, and soon Sepiroth was beated as he bled a bit, and Genisi teleported. "Oh Sepir you're bleeding. Vanitas sure got you good." Sepiroth let himself be patched up, and looks to Vanitas, who stood tall with his full armor on. "You passed the test now go, and do what you were ordered next to do."

Vanitas nodded, and smiled from how good Sepiroth, and Genisis said he was before he left though. He took a shower, and ate something. He was beat, but he could manage it. It was time to see Sora, and Roxas. He opens a portal after saying good bye to his 'parents' or family, and walked through the portal.
