Location: Unknown
Time: Unknown
In a distant world far from Remnant a grey palace looms over a dark city where it's a council of hooded figures plot their plan within the palace.
"It would seems that our Keyblade wielder and our Princess of Light have been found." One of the hooded figure said.
"Then we must make haste and capture them. I will be the one to do it." One of the hooded figure said.
"No I must be the one to capture them." Another hooded figure said as he steps front.
"Don't be foolish. Just to remind you that the sons of Sparda are within the area. We must plan our actions first before we act." Another hooded figure said.
"Please. How can two sons of a traitor affect us?" The cocky hooded figure said.
"These sons of a traitor are not like their father. They have grown into threats to our plans, they will hinder us even destroy us if they have the chance." The first hooded figure said.
"It won't matter anyway. I will eliminate them then capture both the keyblade wielder and the princess." The second hooded figure said before leaving the chamber.
"Let him be. He will the first to witness the strength of twins." The first hooded figure said as the hooded figures starts to leave the chamber.

"Koga-kun. I have orders from you and Rei-kun." Grace said as she hands both Koga and Rei red envelops before igniting them and Makai letters begins to form the message.
"Be warned all warriors. Unknown creatures have been sighted outside the kingdom and may attack at any moment. These creatures a said to be related to the Heartless." Koga said before the message disappears.
"Related to the Heartless huh? Sora must have some information about them." Rei said.
"Agree. We have to focus on these creatures." Rei said before duo starts leaving.
"Koga-kun." Grace said as Koga turns to her. "I heard that yesterday was Dante-kun and Vergil-kun's birthday. Is it true?" Grace said.
"It was Grace-sama." Koga replied.

Location: Combat Class
Time: 9:00 am
Class was in session and Glynda was about to make an announcement regarding both the dance and the tournament.
"Good morning class. Before we start I just like to make a few announcements. First the upcoming dance is this coming Saturday, I hope everyone has their attire for evening. The second announcement is the day after that will be your first official mission. So I expect everyone to be ready for it." Glynda said as grabs her scroll. "Now for our first match of the day." Glynda said as she taps her scroll to select the match. "Dante Redgrave vs Cinder Fall of Haven." Glynda said as Dante enters the stage so did Cinder.
Dante pulled out Rebellion from his back while Cinder pulls out her bow.
"Fighters are you ready?!" Glynda said as both Dante and Cinder nodded. "Begin!" Glynda said as she smashed her riding crop to the ground.
Dante immediately rushed toward Cinder who fired a barrage of arrows towards him. Dante simply evaded the arrows then slams his sword towards Cinder who switched her bow to its sword mode then blocked Dante's sword. Dante slowly pushes Cinder back as he steps forward while in a blade lock. But somehow Dante noticed that Cinder was not putting much of an effort before he parries her then quickly swung his sword towards her in the opposite direction. But he stops by inches away which made Cinder curious. Dante then placed Rebellion on his back then steps back a few steps.
"Now I know when someone doesn't give their all in a fight." Dante said before sitting in middle of the stage which made everyone in the class murmur. "So until you decide to fight me for real, I'll be waiting here." Dante said as Cinder gets even more curious.
Cinder then realize a quick resemblance between Dante and Nelo Angelo which she did not expect. She switched her swords to its bow form then gave a little chuckle.
"Very well then. But be careful what you wish for!" Cinder said as she fires three arrows towards Dante which caused to explode on impact.
But when the smoke starts to clear up it revealed that not only Dante evaded the arrows but he was now wielding both Agni and Rudra. Dante swung his swords around before resting it on his shoulder.
"That's what I've been looking for. Time to go to work then." Dante said he rushed towards Cinder.
(Insert Destiny's Play-Tetra Fang)
Cinder fired another barrage of arrows towards Dante which he either deflects with his sword or evades them. When he got close enough Cinder switched to her swords and starts clashing with Dante. Both were skilled enough to anticipate their next move and both were fast enough keep up with each other. As they trade blow at each other sparks were flying around the stage.
"Dante is a bit slower on this fight." Blake said.
"He meant to." Koga said as Blake turns to him. "Because he needs to know her motives." Koga stating Dante's strategy.
Cinder flipped back then reverted to her bow and starts shooting towards Dante which she was unable to land a hit. Dante placed both swords to the ground and pulled out his twin pistols and started firing towards Cinder which she was able to deflect with her swords. Dante spins his pistols before he fires another barrage of bullets which this time manage to hit Cinder which caused her aura level to go down to seventy five percent.
"Nice one Dante!" Sora cheering on to his leader.
"This getting good." Weiss said as Mercury begins to whisper to Emerald.
"What is Cinder doing?" Mercury asked.
"I don't know." Emerald said as she looks on to the match. "But I think I might help her." Emerald said as she tries to use her semblance on Dante.
Dante then picked up both swords then inter locked them before he rushed towards Cinder who was still shooting arrows at him. As Dante evades the arrows he felt a disturbance within his head then looked towards Emerald and Mercury. Little did he knew that an arrow was about hit him on his face which it exploded causing his aura level to go down to fifty percent. Cinder readies another arrow and points towards the smoke where Dante is in. After a few seconds a pillar of lightning came out of the smoke and heads towards Cinder which she evaded. Dante jumps out of the smoke and revealed his body was surrounded by an orange aura.
"What happened there?" Ruby asked.
"That's not like Dante to get caught in the face." Yang said.
"I think something bothered him." Sora said as Mercury and Emerald turned to each other.
"What happened, were you able to do it?" Mercury asked.
"No something was blocking his head. This was not the first time it happened." Emerald said.
"What do you mean?" Mercury asked.
"We'll talk about it later." Emerald said as they continue to watch the match.
Dante then pulls out Ebony then sharpens the interlock swords with it. As he sharpens his sword an orange flame begins to emit from the barrel of the pistol. Dante then fires three bullets towards Cinder. But when the bullets were close enough they changed direction went over her. Cinder then switched to her blades then rushed towards Dante. While that was happening the three bullets Dante fired begins to form a pentagram of fie and wind. Dante blocks Cinders attack before he musters enough to send her towards the pentagram trapping her which caused her aura level to drop by fifty percent. Dante twirls the swords one more time then rushed towards Cinder before thrusting his sword towards Cinder which caused her out of the stage ending the fight.
(End Song)
"That's the match!" Glynda said as Dante disperse both swords. "The winner is Dante Redgrave!" Glynda said everyone cheered for Dante's win.
Cinder who was still recovering got help from Dante before being helped by her team. Dante also sat back down with his team.
"Dude did you just slowed down a bit back there?" Sora asked.
"Yeah. Vergil was being suspicious about those three." Dante said as he turns to the trio.
"What makes you say that?" Makoto asked.
"During the fight I felt a disturbance in my head. That someone was trying to get inside of it." Dante said.
"And did they?" Sora asked.
"No. My mind is protected by some magic applied by my father when I was a kid." Dante replied.
"What?" Sora asked.
"After their first birthday Sparda applied both twins a spell that protects their minds from any form of mind control." Zaruba said.
"How do you know all of this Zaruba?" Koga asked.
"It was I who gave them those blocks. But it was Sparda's magic that created them." Zaruba said.
"That is annoying." Dante said.
"Truth be told it is a requirement to protect both of you." Zaruba said as Dante sat and the class continues.

Location: Forever Fall
Time: 2:30 pm
Glynda along with all four teams heads to Forever Fall to collect some red sap for professor Peach.
"All right class. Professor Peach has requested that we pick up some red sap for her. So everyone grab a jar and start collecting." Glynda said as each one grabs a jar and starts splitting up into teams to collect some sap.
Team JNPR heads to one area of the forest.
"Let's start over here Jaune." Pyrrha said as starts to collect sap from the tree.
"Just be careful I'm sort of allergic to this stuff." Jaune said as he collects some sap.
"You guys check over there, we'll check over here." Nora said as she rush towards a tree.
"Wait up Nora!" Ren said as he follows Nora.
As they were collecting sap Pyrrha starts to feel that they were being watched and looks around the area. As she collects the sap from the tree she slowly grabs Milo then transformed it to its rifle mode.
"So Pyrrha what are you going to wear at the dance?" Jaune said as out of nowhere a white humanoid creature with two sword leaped over Jaune about to strike him down. Pyrrha shoots the creature on the head to kill it.
"Jaune are you okay?" Pyrrha asked as she went over him.
"Yeah I'm fine. What was that?" Jaune said as two of the same creature appears out of the bushes and immediately rushed towards the duo.
Jaune pulls out his sword then opens his shield before blocking one of the creatures while the other one rushed towards Pyrrha. Using her semblance to grab Akouo then blocked the initial strike of other creature. Jaune pushed his opponent back before parrying it with his shield cuts it down with his sword. Pyrrha kicks her opponent before cutting it in half.
"What the heck are these things?" Jaune said as the bodies of the creatures starts to disperse. Nora and Ren rushed towards them and find out what was happening.
"What happened?" Ren asked.
"We were attacked. But we repelled them." Pyrrha said as Nora noticed one of the bodies.
"What was that?" Nora said as she points at one of the bodies.
"I don't know. But I think Sora and Kairi may have an idea." Pyrrha replied before they regrouped with everyone.
On another part of the forest near a river Team RWBY collects some of the sap.
"So who's ready for the party?" Ruby asked.
"I am." Yang replied.
"Of course." Weiss said as Blake remained silent.
"What about you Blake?" Ruby asked.
"I just need a dress." Blake replied.
"Aw come on Blake." Ruby said.
"Don't worry I can help you with that." Yang said to Blake as out of nowhere a dragon like creature with a spear jumps over her about stab Yang with it.
Yang evades the spear then opens her Ember Celica. The creature thrust its spear towards Yang who manage to evade and punch the creature by the head at the same time shoots from her gauntlets causing the creatures to pop. Ruby and the rest of the team approached her.
"You okay sis?" Ruby asked her sister.
"I'm all right." Yang replied before observing the body of the creature. "What is thing?" Yang said.
"I don't know. But we never faced something like this before." Weiss said as the body begins to disintegrate.
"Guys…" Blake said as she saw a group of the same creature heading towards the forest.
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Ruby asked.
"Yep." Blake said before the team gives chase to the group of creatures.
In a deep part of the forest team DKSM collects some sap.
"All right boys time for us to collect some sap." Dante said as he starts collecting sap from a tree.
"Zaruba." Koga said as Zaruba burns of some excess sap of a tree.
"Gee this could be fun." Sora sarcastically said.
"Why are we doing all this shit again?" Makoto asked.
"Don't know, don't care. I just want get this done." Dante said as he collect sap.
Just as the team collect sap in the area Sora felt disturbance in the area. After a few minutes a giant muscular creature appeared behind Sora wielding a giant t shaped claymore. The giant swung its sword around only to miss. Sora drew out his keyblade leaped towards the creature and cut it in half.
"Sora you okay?" Dante asked.
"Yeah I'm fine." Sora said as he approached the body.
"So these are the creatures the order has told us about." Koga said.
"Yep." Zaruba said.
"Created from strong willed individuals who lost their hearts. The Nobodies." Dante said.
"Not just any Nobody, but a Berserker." Sora said "If they are here, then Kairi is in danger." Sora said as he rush to find Kairi.
"Let's go boys!" Dante said as he and the rest of the team follows Sora.
At the center of the forest team VKRA collects some sap there without knowing the danger in the area.
"Okay we'll start over here." Vergil said as the team starts collecting sap.
"Yeesh this is going to be good." Rei said.
"Stop complaining and get some sap." Silva said.
"Commencing harvest." Aigis said as she collects some sap.
As her teammates collect the sap Kairi then wanders off to an open area in the forest with a large stone in the middle. As she continues to walk towards the stone a hooded figure appeared behind her and grabbed her.
"Hello Kairi." The hooded figure said as she tries to escape his grasp. "Time for us to go." The hooded figure said as he opens a black portal and starts walking towards it with Kairi.
But as soon as they were about to enter the portal a summoned sword went over the hooded man's arm that was grabbing Kairi which caused him to let her go. Kairi went over to the source of the sword which happens to be Vergil.
"Are you okay?" Vergil asked.
"Yeah I'm fine." Kairi said as she summons her keyblade.
"So you're one of the sons of Sparda. Impressive." The hooded man said as he takes off his hood revealing his face. The man has black hair is styled into distinctive dreadlocks that flair dramatically when he manipulates the wind. One of these dreads is used to tie most of the others into a sort of ponytail, while four thinner dreads dangle in front of his face. He also has bushy eyebrows and very thick sideburns, the latter of which hook around his cheeks, parallel to his violet eyes. "But I'm sorry I have other business to deal with." The man said as he summons six spears floating around him and sent one towards the duo.
Vergil blocked the spear then rushed towards the attacker. Vergil drew out his katana and swung toward the man who simply blocked with his spears then pushed him back. The attacker immediately sends three spears towards Vergil while the other three spears towards Kairi which both were able to evade. Vergil fired a barrage of swords toward the attacker while Kairi shoot ice bullets. The attacker evades the barrage by floating in the air. The attacker unleashed small tornadoes towards the duo which Kairi evaded and Vergil sliced one in half.
"Impressive. But I have errands to run." The man said as he snaps his finger and four winged creatures with spear appeared put of the sky and pins Vergil to the ground rendering him immobile.
Kairi rushes towards Vergil to help him break free of the spears. But just as she got close the attacker teleports right in front of her.
"Come now Kairi. Kingdom Hearts awaits." The attacker said as the creatures pinning Vergil were taken out by Aigis and Palladion. The attacker turns but noticed that Rei has his sword pointed at his neck.
"Sorry buddy but our princess is not going anywhere." Rei said as Vergil stood up.
"You have no idea who you are dealing with boy." The attacker said.
"Nah I'll take my chances." Rei said before he swung his sword towards the attacker who was able to bend to evade the attack.
The attacker then floats in the air and unleashed powerful wind spheres towards the team. Rei and Vergil were able to down the spheres before regrouping with Aigis and Kairi.
"Very well then. I might have enough time to play with all of you." The attacker said as he snaps his fingers and numerous Nobodies appeared near the attacker. Ranging from Berserkers to Samurais and Dragoons.
"Great, just great." Rei said as he pulls out his other sword.
Just as the team gets ready four Dragoons rushed towards them with their spears pointed. But as the Nobodies got close enough four giant bolts of purple lightning hit the Dragoons turning them into dust. The team looked up and saw Dante now wielding Nevan jumping over them with his team.
"You guys okay?" Dante asked.
"Please brother. You should be more worried about yourself." Vergil replied as Sora walks to Kairi.
"Are you okay?" Sora asked.
"Yeah I'm fine." Kairi replied before turning to the attacker.
"Sora. You've made it just in time." The attacker said as he summons his six lances.
"You're with the Organization aren't you?" Sora said as he summons his keyblade.
"Indeed I am." The attacker said as he grabs two of his lances. "I am Xaldin. And I have come for the both of you!" The attacker now named Xaldin said before he rushed towards the group.
(Insert Kingdom Hearts 2-The 13th Dilemma)
Koga and Rei blocked Xaldin's initial attack before pushing him back and regrouped with the Nobody horde behind him. He then snapped his finger to order the Nobodies to attack both teams. As soon as the Nobodies got close enough Teams RWBY and JNPR arrived and took out some of them before regrouping with Dante and the rest.
"Sorry we're late." Ruby said.
"We got stuck in traffic." Jaune sarcastically said.
"Whatever, let's just rush these assholes." Dante said as everyone nodded before all four teams' heads towards the horde of Nobodies.
Dante, Ruby, Aigis and Nora stayed behind as they reverted to their long range capabilities to take most of the Nobodies from a far. Ranging from Ruby and Aigis's shots, Nora's grenades and Dante's lightning from Nevan. After shooting towards the horde the group rushed forward and reverted to their melee capabilities and take down some of the horde, with both Ruby and Dante using their scythes forms of their weapons while Nora smashing with her hammer and Aigis summoning Palladion to take down some of the Nobodies in the horde.
A group of Nobodies were about to rushed them before Vergil, Makoto, Blake and Ren leaps over them then cuts down the group of Nobodies before they rushed to the center of the horde and use their speed to cut down a group before spreading out to clear some parts of the area. Vergil surrounding himself with spectral swords before cutting them down with his katana. Makoto using his sword to take out at least three Dragoons before being confronted by a Berserker who was about to slam his sword at him. Makoto points his Envoker to his head to summon a new Persona.
"Orthus!" Makoto shouted as he summons Orthus of the Hanged Man Arcana.
The Berserker slams his sword towards Makoto only to be blocked by Orthus. Orthus then then unleashed a fireball towards the Berserker burning it to ash. Orthus then unleashed more fireballs towards the Nobody horde to clear most of the area. Ren using his aura to block the attacks of any Nobody that stands before him then cuts them down with his bladed pistol. Blake uses her clones to distract the Nobodies before cutting them down with her cleaver and her katana as well.
Another wave of Nobodies appeared next to Xaldin and immediately rushed towards the group. But all of the sudden they became frozen as Weiss stabbed the ground of her rapier giving Koga, Rei and Jaune to cut them down with their swords. Some were able to break free of the ice and immediately rushed toward the four. Koga ignites his sword with his lighter the sent a shockwave towards them burning them to ash. A group of Samurais heads towards Rei with their swords pulled out. Rei ignites his lighter at eye level which caused him to enhance his speed before he intercepts the Samurais and cuts them down in a blink of an eye. Jaune uses his shield to block the initial strike of the enemy before cutting them down. Jaune blocked the full force of a Berserker's sword with his shield before parrying the attack and cutting the Berserker in half.
Xaldin decided to join the fray as he floats towards the group and unleashed wind spheres towards the party. Sora and Kairi protected everyone by using barrier spells to block the spheres. While in the barrier Yang and Pyrrha starts shooting towards Xaldin who was able to evade the shots in the air. Sora breaks the barrier then points his keyblade to the air.
"Gather!" Sora shouted as he summons a vortex which cause to pull Xaldin closer to the group.
As he got close enough Yang and Pyrrha lunged towards Xaldin. But they were blocked by Xaldin's spears before being pushed back.
"Enough of this!" Xaldin shouted as he formed a star formation with his spears and pointed it towards the four teams.
The spears then start to rotate like high powered fan generating a powerful tornado heading towards them.
"This not good!" Makoto said as he tries to stay on his feet.
"Any ideas Dante?" Sora asked as Dante turns to Vergil and gave him a nod.
"Dance Note!" Dante shouted as he starts rev up Nevan building up energy and Vergil jumps next to him and summoned four spectral swords in front of Dante which started to spin causing a cyclone to counter Xaldin's tornado.
Sora and Kairi transformed to their Wisdom forms and floats over Dante and Vergil. They raised their keyblades which caused them to attract thunder from the sky and absorbing it before sending to the spectral swords which caused their cyclone to have lightning attribute. Dante has built up enough energy with his guitar and with one powerful strum he unleashed the built up energy from Nevan and towards their tornado hitting Xaldin.
(End Song)
Xaldin struggles to get up and finds that he was about to be surrounded by all four teams.
"This is not over." Xaldin said teleports away from the area.
"That was insane." Makoto said.
"We better watch out guys. I get the feeling that they will send more of them." Sora said as he reverts back to his original form.
"This is all my fault." Kairi said as she reverted back to her original form. "I lead them here." She added.
"Don't even say that Kairi." Vergil said. "None of this was your fault. They want to come and take you both?" Vergil said as he sheathes Yamato. "Well I say let them try. Because I will protect my allies from anyone." Vergil said.
"Vergil…" Kairi said.
"You heard my cold brother. We'll be here with you guys until the end." Dante said as he disperse Nevan.
"Dante…" Sora said knowing that his friends will be there for the both of them.
"Now come on, I'm getting the feeling that Glynda is looking for us." Dante said as everyone starts walking away leaving Sora and Kairi.
"You think Riku is having a hard time?" Sora asked Kairi.
"I can't say. But I do miss." Kairi replied as she hugged Sora. "I want all three us of to be together." Kairi added.
"Don't worry. We may bump into him someday." Sora as he lets Kairi.
As the two were about to leave Makoto surprised them and placed his arms on their shoulders.
"Now you two need to relax. As Dante said earlier you guys will be all right." Makoto said.
"I think you're right partner. As long as we are one team, nothing can stop us." Sora said.
"Agreed. But we need to be careful though." Kairi said as Makoto heard two voice in his head.
"Though art I… And I am thou…" the voice said.
"Though shall have our blessing when thou choosest to create a Persona of the Lovers Arcana…" The voice said before fading away.
"Though art I… And I am thou…" the voice said.
"Though shall have our blessing when thou choosest to create a Persona of the Chariot Arcana…" The voice said before fading away.
After giving confidence to both Sora and Kairi, Makoto has strengthen his power of both Chariot and Lovers Arcanas.
After the fight all four teams regrouped with Glynda and reported everything that has happened.
