(Silent-Hill…)

Sasuke panted while running from Pyramid-Head, the beast still relentless pursuing him. The thunk thunk scrape it made as it continued to trail behind him almost seemed to go in time with the ever-quickening beat of his heart. Looking over his shoulder, Sasuke's eyes snapped open seeing that PH was growing closer and closer with each passing second. In his mind, Sasuke had to wonder how something so big with a weapon so massive could be so FAST! Granted that he wasn't able to use his Chakra anymore for some reason, apparently due to his new alliance with light, but he still should have been faster than it!

Tripping Sasuke cursed his luck and tried to drag himself away, turning he saw PH lift it's Great-Knife with both hands and cursed. Rolling out of the way as it swung its weapon down, Sasuke quickly got back to his feet and tried to run, only for PH to lash out and grab one of his legs. Pulling Sasuke back as he clawed at the ground, trying to find some kind of hand hold, PH then threw the teen to the side while lifting his Great-Knife once more. Turning to see the creature, Sasuke quickly rolled out of the way as PH swung its Great-Knife at him once more.

Panting Sasuke flipped to his feet and then rolled backwards as PH swung a horizontal slash at him. Kicking PH in the knee he watched it buckle slightly before falling to one knee. However, it then grabbed him by the throat and lifted him up while standing to its full height, pulling Sasuke off the ground his legs kicking. Grasping PH's wrist as it held him Sasuke's eyes widened seeing a slot on it's Helm open and a strange, almost tongue like black thing slithered out.

The tongue then tried to stab him it seemed and Sauske moved his head enough to evade it. The black haired teen then kicked PH in the ribs before kicking it once more, PH grunting lowly as he did so, kicking his leg up as high as it could go. Sasuke managed to barely nail the edge of its massive helmet, thus knocking it off balance. Releasing Sasuke as it backed up, PH then righted himself while Sasuke turned tale and started running for his life. Seeing this, PH made his way after Sasuke; a strange pained moaning groan escaping from the confines of his massive helmet.

Sasuke panted once more, turning down into an alley and then slid to a stop upon seeing a dead end. "Shit." He mumbled before turning around and backed up as he saw PH approach him. PH then tried to use its Great-Knife, only the walls were too narrow for it to swing the weapon. Thanking whatever Kami was watching for small miracles, Sasuke looked around before jumping onto the side of the wall. Kicking off into a flip to the other side Sasuke then flipped over the main wall and landed behind it. Shaking his head, Sasuke looked around before rushing off, then slid to a stop and felt his eyes widen upon seeing PH waiting for him…

"How the hell do you do that?" Sasuke muttered before cursing as PH swung at him with its Great-Knife. Rolling backwards to evade, Sasuke landed in a crouch while PH suddenly struggled with its massive helmet, tugging on it and seemingly trying to get it out of the way. Breathing a sigh of relief, Sasuke ran from PH once more, squinting his eyes when he saw a large cross shaped symbol on top of a church in the distance. However, upon hearing the familiar thunk thunk scrape from PH, Sasuke redoubled his efforts and ran even faster, trying desperately to reach the building.

Behind him, PH seemed to realize his intent and thus ducked his head down and charged forward with surprising speed. Hearing the sounds of PH coming closer Sasuke turned his head then rolled to the side. PH running right passed him before tripping forward and landing in a heap. Picking itself up, PH struggled with his helm once more before getting up as Sasuke ran passed him. Letting out a pained moan / groan, PH lumbered after Sasuke once more, unrelenting in its pursuit of the teen.

As Sasuke ran from the being, he wondered just what the hell he'd done to make it chase him like this? Sure, he betrayed his friends, village, killed the man he'd betrayed them for, among other things, but this thing didn't know any of that, did it? Shaking his head to rid himself of those thoughts, Sasuke slid into a turn and ran up a flight of steps. Upon nearing the building from before, a door at the top to the familiar church creaking open as PH continued to lumber after Sasuke. Panting and then jumping into the building, Sasuke turned and watched the doors close, PH now trapped outside.

"I see the fiend still pursues you." Someone commented and Sasuke nearly jumped as he turned to the side, sword drawn only to sigh in relief.

The woman was somewhat plain, having dark graying hair and fair skin with blue eyes, she was dressed in a conserved blue dress with a white undershirt or blouse, a black tie around her neck with a pin in the center of it, and a black belt around her waist with black heeled shoes.

"Christabella… you scared me for a second." Sasuke said while taking several calming breaths as he tried to steady the rapid beating of his heart.

"How did your search fair this time? Did you finally locate the Demon?" Christabella questioned, ignoring the boy's words and Sasuke grunted while dismissing his sword in a flash of light.

"No… I didn't find her, only someone from my world." Sasuke admits while getting up to his feet, looking around silently and noted that the people that had been here before seemed to be gone now. "What happened to everyone else?" Sasuke questioned and Christabella was silent for a moment while walking down the isle towards a large circular depression.

"They have transcended their flesh and become one with the holy light." Christabella responded vaguely and Sasuke pretty much translated that as they had all become Soulless… "Now then, this person from your world. Do you believe he would help us eliminate the Demon that plagues us?" Christabella questioned and Sasuke rolled his eyes before walking down the isle as well.

"Doubtful, he's working with The Darkness from what I can tell." Sasuke stated and Christabella frowned deeply while turning around and then snapped her fingers, several Soulless Prism's appearing around her.

"These angels will accompany you next time. Should you encounter this heretic who would dare to ally himself to the Darkness… you know what to do." Christabella ordered and Sasuke smirked slightly while the Prism's floated over to his sides, the dark haired youth nodding his head as his sword appeared in his hand.

"Yeah, I know what to do with the dobe." Sasuke replied while leaning his sword into his shoulder…

(World that never was…)

Xehanort walked into the Castle that never was and looked around, memories of his time as "Xemnas" coming to him. "I lost sight of my true ideals… twice now." He noted with a shake of his head as he wondered further into the castle soon stopping as he came to the room he'd been looking for. Smirking, Xehanort turned and saw a Dusk, laying back and seemingly relaxing. Rolling his eyes, Xehanort walked over to it, the Dusk turning its head to him at his approach. Upon seeing him, the Dusk quickly got to its feet and walked around him seemingly confused.

"Hello Braig, you're looking shorter than normal." Xehanort quipped and the Dusk merely shrugged its shoulders. "However, I believe I have the remedy to that…" Xehanort then said while holding out the Arrow-Guns that had belonged to Xigbar. "So… will you fight with me once more?" Xehanort questioned and the Dusk took a mock thoughtful look before nodding its head. Smirking, Xehanort tossed the weapons over to the dusk, the creature reaching its hands up to catch them…

Instantly a wavering energy formed over the Dusk, the Arrow-Guns suddenly circling around its form as darkness spiraled over its body. Soon the waving energy and spiral of Darkness extended from its form and left all bathed in shadow before it slowly dissipated from view… Smirking slightly and chuckling under his breath, Xehanort watched as the familiar form of Xigbar was soon revealed. Opening his sole remaining eye, Xigbar grinned upon seeing Xehanort standing before him and leaned his Arrow-Guns into his shoulders.

"Long time no see Master, how you doing?" The laid-back man questioned and Xehanort reached his hands up.

"Better now that my memories have returned…" Xehanort mused while pushing his hood back. Shadows forming over his body as he did, revealing the youthful face of Xehanort once more, Xigbar chuckling upon seeing him.

"Yeah, I can imagine amnesia would suck." Xigbar noted and Xehanort smirked before waving for the man to follow him. "So what's been happening since that kid Sora took me out?" Xigbar questioned while dismissing his Arrow-Guns and Xehanort took a thoughtful expression for a moment.

"Xine is free…" He stated and Xigbar blinked before chuckling to himself.

"Oh yeah, ol' one eye himself." He noted since Xine had been missing his eye much longer than he had…

"Indeed. Also, I have a new apprentice." Xehanort offered casually and Xigbar rubbed his chin for a moment before looking at Xehanort strangely.

"Really? Well, looks like things are really going to get interesting for us then…" Xigbar noted to himself before crossing his arms behind his head. "So where too now?" He questioned and Xehanort contemplated that silently for a moment.

"The Dark Worlds of course. The worlds of light are no longer of any use to me…" Xehanort replied and Xigbar shrugged his shoulders for a moment while they walked out of the castle that never was. Exiting it, Xehanort pulled his hood up once more, taking the form of the old man yet again while Xigbar raised a brow.

"Why do you keep taking that form?" He questioned with a raised brow and Xehanort chuckled in his throat for a moment.

"Because, people know my other face too well… this one is almost unknown to Sora and his little friends." Xehanort replied and Xigbar nodded his head with a smirk as a Dark-Corridor opened before them, both walking into its depths once it had…

(Silent-Hill…)

Naruto walked further into Silent-Hill with a frown. He'd attempted to find some kind of trail so he could locate Dark-Alessa. However, it almost seemed like she was a ghost since there was not even the slimmest of traces of her. 'Like she was a ghost…' Naruto mused to himself as he walked back into town, and then looked down, blinking when he saw a piece of yellowed paper lying on the ground at his feet. Kneeling down the blond haired youth picked the paper up and turned it around.

On it was a picture in crayon of a hospital, the word itself slightly misspelled with black curving over it, a picture of what looked eerily similar to Pyramid Head on the roof of the hospital with flames rising up around it and into the sky where a bright red moon hovered above it all. "So… to the hospital I go then." Naruto mused to himself while standing up and then folded the picture up before jumping onto a fire escape and began climbing it up to a roof. Coming on top of the roof, Naruto walked over to its edge and looked out over the city.

Spotting what looked like a hospital in the distance, Naruto noted the way to it before turning and sliding back down to the ground. Smirking as he placed his hands in his pockets, Naruto wondered out of the alley and off towards the building. Looking around as he wandered closer to the building, Naruto wondered what "Alessa" had in store for him there. Shaking his head, Naruto ran towards the hospital silently, more than jus a little creeped out by the never-ending silence that surrounded him. Approaching the Hospital, Naruto quickly slid to a stop before it and quickly opened the door before walking inside.

Feeling his boots crunch some old glass on the floor Naruto walked forward, slowly. Reaching a receptions office, Naruto was not surprised to see that it was vacated, however took note of a key and raised a brow upon seeing it. Turning it over in his hand, Naruto flipped the key into the air before catching it and walking off. Stuffing the key into his pocket, Naruto walked deeper into the hospital, stopping only to see a message board beside him. Finding only a construction notice about the third floor being closed off and a few other old notes, Naruto passed it by and headed towards the back.

Keeping his eyes open as he walked through a door, Naruto blinked when he saw a familiar little girl. "Hey!" Naruto called while quickly running after her, then slid to a stop seeing she was gone. "Dammit…" He mumbled before looking around for her, seeing an elevator, Naruto hit the call button on it. Watching the doors open, Naruto walked inside and then hit a button for the second floor. Riding it up, Naruto walked tapped one of his feet lightly before opening an eye as the elevator stopped. Walking out of the elevator and onto the second floor, Naruto looked around for anything.

"Where is she?" Naruto wondered to himself before walking over to and then threw a door. Seeing what looked like a nurse ahead of him, Naruto was about to speak however stopped when he noticed how she twitched and jerked all over. Staying silent, Naruto walked around the nurse and tried not to retch seeing it's face was mostly blank with a strange twisted look to the skin, it was extremely pale, wore a white nurses hat and uniform complete with heeled shoes and gloves with a scalpel in one hand. Choosing not to take his chances by talking to her, Naruto stayed close to the wall and kept quiet as he came to a doorway. Opening it quietly, Naruto found himself in a hallway.

Looking around, Naruto saw two more of the nurses; only these were walking down the halls. Twitching, Naruto walked passed them, soon coming to another doorway that he attempted opened. Turning the knob as quietly as possible, Naruto inwardly groaned when he heard the click of a lock. 'Going to need a key for that…' He noted to himself before placing his back against the wall and making his way along it. Checking more doors while keeping as quiet as possible as the Nurses lumbered up and down the halls of the strange place.

Soon finding an open door, the blond mentally sighed in relief while opening it and slipping inside. Looking around for any nurses in the room, Naruto breathed a short sigh of relief upon seeing none around him. "Well… at least I can talk again." Naruto mumbled to himself before shrugging and walked around the room. The room was small, having a gurney, a medicinal cabinet, a large mirror to one side, a sink to the opposite side of the room, and of course stuff was turned over with an IV pole laying on the ground, over turned table, broken glass and the usual bric-a-brac he'd found all over Silent hill thus far.

Looking around, Naruto walked over to the sink and frowned upon seeing something stuffed into its drain. Reaching down and slowly pulling it out, Naruto unfolded a piece of paper and found a key inside. Pocketing the key, Naruto looked at the paper and raised a brow at a short note. "Thunk, thunk, scrape, scrape, now he's here there's no escape…" He read aloud before folding the paper neatly and stuffing it into his pocket. "Okay… that wasn't ominous in the least." Naruto muttered to himself sarcastically while walking back to the door and exiting it, then slinked his way passed the Nurses to one of the locked doors.

'This is a Stairwell, I should be able to get to the roof if the key is for it.' Naruto thought before slowly using the key to open the door, the Nurses turning towards him at the sound. Mentally cursing, Naruto remained still and silent, the nurses twitching / jerking for a moment before returning to their pacing of the floor. Breathing a silent sigh of relief, Naruto slowly turned the doorknob and palmed it open. Walking passed it Naruto then closed the door behind him. Breathing a sigh of relief, Naruto made his way up a flight of stairs, passed the third floor and to the roof instead.

'Well, if Pyramid-Head is up here at least I know there was a reason for it on the picture…' Naruto thought to himself before opening the door, finding himself on the roof he looked around before scratching the back of his neck. "Wow, nothing's here…" He mumbled to himself before walking across the roof, looking for anything that he could use or would tell him where to go next. Frowning and placing his hands onto his hips, Naruto then noticed an old crate and shrugged.

"I guess it's worth a shot." He mused to himself while walking over to the crate and then knelt down and opened it up. Finding a key inside, Naruto then pulled out a note and read it's contents to himself…

(Xehanort Report 1…)

It has been a long time since leaving my hometown, but until now I have traveled to many worlds and obtained a lot of knowledge. I will record part of my progress here.

If I recall, my destiny changed when I arrived at a certain location, and learned of the terms called "master" and "brother". That was when I gained a new hometown.

And then there was the Keyblade. What was its original purpose and who had created it? During my training as a Keyblade wielder, I was told that it was a guardian of the light, which watches over the world from the shadows. But is that really all it is? Although anything not related to my mission was forbidden, out of personal inquiry, I have sometimes traveled the world to gain new knowledge.

Blinking upon reading the note, Naruto turned it over before scratching his head at its contents. "Why does this sound familiar?" He wondered to himself before shrugging and placing the note into his pocket with the other's he'd found thus far. Standing up once he had, Naruto looked at the key in his hand and saw a tag for a hotel hanging off of it. "Well at least I know where to go…" He mused to himself before flipping the key into the air, catching it in his hand and stuffed it into his pocket. Seconds later however, Naruto noticed a shadow over him and mentally grimaced.

Turning, the boy saw the "Red Pyramid Thing" seen by Larxene and Alice for all of a second before it lashed out with its sword, slamming the blunted edge of the weapon into him and knocking him from the roof. Groaning as he hit the ground, Naruto looked up towards the roof and saw Red Pyramid lumber off. Pushing himself up Naruto placed a hand to his head before looking around. Seeing that he was on the other side of the hospital now, and an Open gate was nearby, Naruto blinked before rubbing his head.

"Did it just… help me?" Naruto wondered to himself before shaking his head and made his way over to the gate. Narrowing his eyes and looking around for anyone, Naruto then nodded his head as he walked off towards the nearest Hotel…

(Twilight Town…)

Xine yawned while walking out of a Dark-Corridor and onto the peaceful world of Twilight Town. "Huh… man, my memories are fuzzy, have I been here before?" Xine wondered to himself while scratching his head uncertainly, then shrugged his shoulders and made his way further into the city. Wandering the streets and alleys of Twilight Town did seem to remind Xine of something, however, he groaned as the random flashes only served to give him a headache instead.

"Man seriously, how long have I been gone?" Xine wondered with his arms outstretched before hearing a very familiar sound from behind him. Turning his head, Xine saw Sora and his group and blinked beneath his hood upon seeing the brown haired boy, a clear memory passing before his eyes. "Ventus?" He asked upon seeing Sora and the brown haired boy raised a brow in confusion while Riku looked at the black-cloaked man before them in surprise.

"My name is Sora." Sora stated and Xine reached a hand up and rubbed his head through his hood.

"Really? Man, did Ventus have a brother or something, you look almost exactly like him… save the hair… and clothes." Xine stated then mused to himself with a thoughtful expression beneath his hood.

"Oh… uh, your not with Organization XIII, are you." Sora mused aloud and slowly lowered his weapon, Xine looking at the youth in confusion.

"Who now?" He asked seriously and Sora sighed while lowering his weapon.

"Sorry, it's just that everyone who wears that cloak is normally with Organization XIII." Sora offered with a grin while rubbing the back of his neck and Xine blinked behind the shadows of his hood.

"Okay. That's new. Last time I checked only Keyblade Wielders and Dark Users wore these so we could travel through Dark-Corridors without loosing our Hearts." Xine said mostly to himself and Sora blinked before looking over to Riku.

"Is THAT why you wore one Riku?" Sora asked and Riku nodded his head.

"Of course, why do you think I dressed like the Organization?" Riku retorted and Sora chuckled nervously while looking away from his companion. Seeing this, Xine yawned once more while reaching into his hood and started rubbing the back of his neck.

"Well you know this must be an absolutely fascinating little discussion guys, but I seriously need to go. I've been locked up by an annoying Dark Witch for the passed few… what looks like years… and I'd really like to reacquaint myself with the worlds." Xine stated before turning his head and mentally grimaced seeing a familiar Mouse heading towards them. "Oh shit it's the mouse." He muttered while taking a step back, forming into what could appear like a loose stance.

"Sora. Donald. Goofy. I'm back from Yen…" Mickey started to say to the others as he approached before looking towards Xine and quickly took a step back. "Xine?" He questioned and Sora looked to the king in confusion.

"You know him King Mickey?" Sora questioned and Mickey nodded his head with a thin frown on his face.

"Xine is from Radiant Garden, he was a Royal Guardsmen there until he went in search of Power through the Darkness. I met him when he was trying to learn of the full potential of Darkness. Because of this he was called Xine, The Seeker of Darkness." King Mickey explained and Sora quickly held his keyblade in a defensive stance, since the only other "Seeker of Darkness" he knew of had been "Ansem" or rather "Xehanort's Heartless" after all.

"Aw man… is everyone going to hold that name against me? It's not even like I'm still Seeking Darkness…" Xine wondered then mused to himself while Riku took a stance, thus catching his attention. "You have the same battle stance a Vanitas…" He noted while his eye drifted over to Kairi and he found it narrowing slightly. "And you have the same one as Eraqus Apprentice, Aqua." Xine noted before his eyes drifted towards King-Mickey. "You've improved your stance and your obviously more confident than I remember…" He said to himself while crossing his arms over his chest and nodding as he found his eyes landing on Sora.

"Oh jeez… I'm sorry but I've got to ask kid, who taught you that stance?" Xine questioned with a shake of his head and Sora blinked for a moment.

"No one. I made my style myself." Sora replied and Xine held back laughter, snorting instead as he chuckled and moved his arms to his sides.

"A self taught Key-Bearer? Will wonders never cease?" Xine wondered aloud before chuckling once more as he held his hands to the sides. "Okay, now then King Mickey, would you please let me go? I'm trying to get myself reacquainted with how things work in the worlds and you're kind of in my way." Xine pleaded, though he obviously didn't care either way. Hey, while he might complain about it, he did have a slight itch to show the brown haired boy his "Style" was little more than a joke…

"And allow you to go meddling in the other worlds affairs again." King Mickey retorted and Xine grunted under his breath. That only happened once, and it wasn't HIS fault those black things showed up and started destroying everything, seriously, it was that Maleficent Chick not him… well unless he meant that one world where this one chick was being forced to marry some dude and he kicked the crap out of him and helped her go free… then there was that one world with the talking fox man called "Robin Hood" where he helped kick the crap out of an annoying Lion and his pet snake.

"First of all mouse, I wasn't the one responsible for all those little black things… suddenly showing up on that one world. So don't go around blaming me for it. And if you mean the OTHER worlds I meddled with… the dicks had it coming. Secondly, either your going to get out of my way willingly, or I'll just have to make you do it." Xine then stated in a monotone, a deep scowl on his face beneath his hood and Mickey merely dug his feet into the ground. "Why does everyone always want to do things the hard way?" Xine wondered to himself before he threw one hand to his side, instantly forming his Soul-Eater before grinning at Sora and the others from beneath his hood.

"Now lets see if you So-Called Key-Bearers of light can compare to that old man or his little apprentice, Ventus…" Xine mused while taking a stance with the blade, Dark Energy wafting off of his body as he did…

(Silent-Hill…)

Axel sighed as he looked around a deserted room, deserted and trashed he mentally added while yawning quietly. The Hotel was more or less empty, an odd few monsters the only real problem but they were no match for him and the other's when working together. "So, find anything yet Travis?" Axel suddenly questioned as he leaned back into a wall, arms crossed over his chest. Upon hearing the red heads voice, Travis blinked for a moment and then shook his head.

"Not really, I can't find anything of real use. Hell, I can't even find any notes or things of little use. Only thing I DID find was what looks like tracks." Travis replied and Axel raised a brow. "Tracks that lead to a locked door." He then stated and Axel mentally groaned before pushing off the wall and looking over to the girls. Alice was flipping her knife into the air and catching it boredly while Larxene was starting to mutter as she walked out of a room. Out of all of them, Tira was the only one of them with an upbeat attitude, and that was only because she wasn't in her "Gloomy" persona for the moment.

Sighing, Axel rubbed his face before looking down and forming a fireball to see the floor better in the dim light. Walking around for a moment he grumbled when he didn't see anything more than he had before. "What is with this place and being completely insane?" Axel wondered to himself and Travis shrugged his shoulders, not really knowing what to tell the man.

"Excuse me, but was that there just a moment ago?" Alice suddenly questioned and the others blinked before looking to the Shadowed Princess as she pointed her Vorpal-Blade to a wall. Looking at the wall, Axel grimaced seeing another note was scrawled onto it and it had NOT been there a second ago.

"Help me…" Axel read aloud upon seeing the message in the wall, an arrow pointing to the side. "Oh shit… that can't be good." He muttered, also noticing that the note seemed to be written in blood.

"You have no idea…" Travis said with a scowl while Larxene shivered, honestly, she liked evil as much as the next person, but this was just psychotic! "C'mon lets find out where it leads." Travis grumbled while following the arrow, soon followed by Alice as she put her knife into her ribbon and took out her watch, shaking it in hand and then turning the top for a bit.

"Hey, you still have all your toys?" Larxene questioned incredulously and Alice blinked before frowning.

"Actually, I've only got my small ones, my Blunderbuss, Ice Staff, and Eye-Staff were destroyed by the Queen." Alice replied with a frown and Larxene scowled anyways.

"Not my point. What I mean is, why didn't you, oh I don't know, use any of them on that Red Pyramid thing?!" Larxene demanded of Alice and the girl blinked for a moment before blushing slightly.

"Well… I actually forgot about them." She admitted and Larxene slapped her face while Tira snickered into one hand with a grin, while Travis looked over to Axel with a raised brow.

"What toys is she talking about, and how would they help them around here?" Travis asked of the red haired man and Axel merely sighed before rubbing his face with a grimace.

"Just… leave it be." Axell suggested and Travis shrugged before stopping and looking forward. Following Travis's gaze, Axel took a step back upon seeing a Nurse monster, hanging from a hook with something sparkling in a large hole in her stomach…

"Well… that explains the note." Axel mused while Larxene shivered seeing the nurse, blood dripping down its legs to the floor. "So now what?" Axel questioned and Travis walked over to the nurse and put his hand into the hole in its stomach. "Nasty…" Axel grumbled while Travis pulled a key out of the Nurse and looked it over.

"C'mon, I think I know which door this is for." Travis stated while turning, and then noticed the green looks from Alice, Larxene, and Axel. "What? Oh that, trust me, I've put my hands in worse things than a corpse." Travis stated with a shiver and the three decided they didn't want to know before following after the man further into the old hotel. Walking around, Travis soon stopped at a door and tried the Key in it, nodding his head when it opened up.

"How'd you know the key was for this door?" Axel asked and Travis sighed before turning around to face the red head.

"This is a hotel, so most room keys would have a tag with the room number they were for. Every normal room has a number on, it but this one doesn't for some reason or another. Thus, since this key has no tag on it, it could only be for this door." Travis replied simply and Tira blinked with a frown over her face.

"But what if someone just ripped the tag off of it?" She asked and Travis blinked for a moment before grunting and scratching his chin.

"Then we would've just tried every door till we found the right one." He replied while opening the door and walking inside of it. The room was small, a couch to one side with tables and chairs knocked over, an elevator to one end and another message scrawled on the wall, this one having been carved into it by a blade. "Great, more Wall notes…" Trais muttered while Tira read the note and then tilted her head.

"Travel to hell, then rise to heaven, the path to your goal lies beyond both…" She read aloud and Axel looked to Larxene and saw her rubbing her temples.

"Who the fuck is leaving all these around here anyways?" Larxene demanded angrily and Travis frowned while thinking about the note.

"Down to hell… up to Heaven. It means to use the elevator. Head down to the basement, then up to the top floor." Travis mused while rubbing his chin for a moment and Tira frowned.

"You do realize this could just be some kind of Trap. Especially considering the fact that Nurse back there was gutted… right?" Tira reminded with a sly looking smirk and Travis gave her a look for a moment.

"It's the only way we have open to us." He reminds the girl before walking over and hitting the call button. As soon as he did, all of them heard heavy thuds and a long scraping sound coming from outside the door. "Oh no…" Travis whispered while Axel and Larxene quickly formed their weapons at their sides. Smirking, Tira twirled her ring-blade around her body and made her way over to Axel and Larxene, Travis and Alice hanging back as the sounds started to get progressively louder.

"I so don't like the sound of that." Axel mumbled under his breath while backing up, the thuds getting louder as did the screech. Then the door before them was cut into by what looked like a massive meat-cleaver, the cleaver then pulling back on the door to reveal a new disturbing creature.

This one was in a mostly human shape though what could bee seen of its face was completely blank save for the hole where its eye would be, it had metal plates on the left side of its face forming down over its left shoulder as well, it was muscular with deathly pale skin with black scars and stood to a height of at least eight feet tall, with partly stitched gloves worn over its hands, what resembled a bloodied butchers smock over its torso, and thick black boots covering its feet. In one hand the creature had a massive meat cleaver, the blade having turned red from years of being rusted and covered in blood… (SH-Origins: The Butcher…)

"What the hell! Another one?" Larxene demanded as the creature lumbered forward, dragging its massive cleaver behind it with one hand.

"Dammit, its that thing again!" Travis said while pulling his gauntlets on and removing an old firemen's Ax from his duffle bag. Hearing a ping as the elevator made it to their floor, he quickly turned and opened the door.

"Alright freak, lets play!" Axel offered while throwing his Chakrams at the Butcher, knocking him back a few paces before he shook it off. Meanwhile, Travis pulled a gate to the Elevator opened and calmed himself down for a moment.

"Mister Axel, perhaps we should leave." Alice suddenly offered the red head and he rolled his eyes before he and Larxene threw their weapons into the Butcher, knocking him back, yet still he shook that off as well.

"What is with this thing, no matter what we do it won't stay down!" Axel grumbled while forming a fireball and throwing it into the Butcher's face. The fireball impacted and only did minimal damage, The Butcher lumbering forward once more soon after. Throwing her ring-blade, Tira grinned as it cut into The Butcher, and then gaped as it used one hand to rip her weapon out of its torso and throw it at them. Ducking the group narrowly evaded the weapon in the confined quarters while The Butcher continued to lumber towards them.

"This isn't getting us anywhere." Larxene complained while focusing a burst of Lightning and throwing it into The Butcher's chest, pushing him back a ways yet still he shook it off and lumbered closer to them.

"Because no one else can face him… only I can fight my darkness." Travis said to himself quietly before he quickly pushed Alice into the elevator. Landing with a grunt, Alice looked to Travis as he quickly grabbed Axel and Larxene from behind, and then threw them both back and into the elevator as well.

"M-mister Travis, what are you doing?" Alice demanded while Larxene tried to get off of her and the man was silent before he kicked Tira in the stomach, knocking her into it as well while she grabbed her Ring-blade on the way in. Moving quickly, Travis then pulled the gate to the elevator closed while Axel got up. Grasping the gate as Travis turned his back to him and faced The Butcher, Axel looked to the man incredulously.

"Travis, what the hell?!" Axel demanded and Travis was silent for a moment as The Butcher came closer to him.

"Go, find your friend." Travis ordered simply while the elevator doors suddenly closed, as he stared off against The Butcher.

"Travis you idiot!" Axel called while slamming his hands into the door as the elevator suddenly shifted into a decent. Meanwhile Travis stared down The Butcher as it lumbered closer to him, and then tightened his grip on his ax.

"C'mon, we still have a score to settle with one another… don't we." Travis mused quietly while taking a stance with his ax and The Butcher suddenly hefted its Cleaver up and swung down on him…

Elsewhere Axel grit his teeth as the elevator went down quickly, a familiar air raid siren echoing in the elevator shaft. "Oh shit, not that damn siren again!" Larxene complained while getting up, Tira leaning into the back wall as the elevator changed with them inside it. Soon all that was left of it was more of a cage than an elevator, fire and the strange "Otherworld" all around them outside of it.

"F-f-fire!" Alice said with wide eyes and hugged Larxene's knees while looking all around and the blond placed a hand on one wall as they fell further and further into the elevator shaft, soon stopping. The elevator door opened, and Axel took a step back upon seeing yet another creature, similar to PH and The Butcher…

This one was dressed and built identically to Pyramid-Head and The Butcher, being an eight foot tall, muscular, humanoid male with pale flesh with veins and black scars over his form, however, his face was completely bare, revealing a black face with sunken holes where its eyes would normally be, and an odd tattoo on one of its shoulders. While it was dressed in the same bloodied smock, heavy boots, and partly stitched together gloves of the other two. (SH-3: Valtiel…)

Turning its faceless head towards them, the new creature only spared them a passing glance before suddenly turning a valve. Steam jet up outside of the elevator and under it as well, soon pushing them upwards into the shaft once more. This time they could see everything on their way, up, Axel watching the rooms before widening his eyes as he saw the one where Travis had been… only there was no longer any sign of him or of The Butcher within the room. The Elevator then rose up above that room however, soon speeding greatly as the fire around them seemed to roar hotter and hotter.

"How much more of this can this thing take?!" Tira suddenly demanded before the thing crashed to a stop, all the light around them instantly going out.

"I-Is it over?" Alice wondered aloud while Axel groaned and rubbed his head, pulling on the gate inside of the elevator it moved and he pulled it to the side. Walking out into a dark room, Axel felt around before grunting when he noticed a squish form his hand on the wall. 'Guess that means the walls are like flesh in this place… eww… that's just too nasty for words.' Axel thought to himself before shaking his head and removing his hand from the wall with a shiver.

"No. We're still in that nightmare version of this world…" Axel responded while holding his hand into the elevator. Larxene then took the offered hand while also taking Tira's as well, and Tira literally picked up Alice with one arm.

"M-miss Tira I do not require you to carry me!" Alice exclaimed and Tira merely snickered while carrying the girl under one arm, being unusually strong given her frame was something she enjoyed greatly after all.

"Aw don't complain, I just don't want you wandering off or Master will be displeased with me." Tira commented and both Larxene and Axel had to wonder about the girl's reasoning before making their way further into the hotel. Holding out a hand, Axel then conjured one of his Chakram and made a ball of fire over it so they could see and actually wished he hadn't upon looking around. Now around them was a long hallway with broken or blocked doors that were made of heavy looking rusted iron, with almost flesh looking walls that were oozing blood, the floor was an odd metal grating that had rusted and was covered in blood, and several industrial fans were along the ceiling…

"Just when you thought this place couldn't look any more horrible." Larxene mumbled with a grimace and Axel nodded his head in agreement.

"At least there's no more fire…" Alice said while looking around and Larxene turned to give her an incredulous look while a highly amused and obviously snickering Tira carried her under her left arm. "Damn, just how strong are you?" Larxene demanded of the girl and Tira blinked for a moment before taking a thoughtful expression.

"Unusually strong." Tira offered vaguely with an amused twinkle in her eyes and Larxene huffed while turning back to Axel.

"Are all women in the Dark-Worlds like this?" Larxene wondered aloud and Axel shrugged his shoulders, hoping they weren't all insane or psychotic at the very least… he could live with them being overly violent, just not psychotically insane…

"Uh, Mister-Axel, what's that noise?" Alice suddenly asked and Axel blinked before stopping, Larxene stopping as well while Tira looked around with a frown. The sound was light, like footsteps, and as they heard them echo they grew closer and closer as well. "I do hope its not another monster…" Alice mumbled while Axel released Larxene's hand and formed his other Chakram while waiting for whatever it was to appear before them…

Seconds later a familiar figure in a black cloak walked out of the shadows, a pair of Keyblades on his back relieving Axel greatly. "Oh shit, thank Kingdom Hearts your okay." Axel commented while Alice grunted as Tira released her then launched at Naruto happily hugging him as he grimaced in slight pain.

"Master! I'm so glad to see you, I've had the hardest time finding you in this weird place." The girl proclaimed before releasing Naruto, the blond breathing in before giving her an annoyed look from behind his hood.

"Tira…" He said lowly and the girl blinked.

"Yes master?" She asked innocently and Naruto frowned.

"Never do that again…" He ordered while cracking his knuckles and Tira blinked before nodding her head.

"Yes Master." She replied while Naruto walked over to Axel and the others.

"So, anything interesting happen to you guys?" Naruto asked and Axel grimaced for a moment before nodding his head.

"Yeah, we've gone through hell… and a guy that was helping us seems to have vanished." Axel offered before dispelling one of his Chakrams and rubbed his head. "And right now I'd really like to take a break." Axel stated and Naruto nodded his head slowly before looking over to Alice.

"You okay Alice? Nothing broken I hope." Naruto questioned as the said girl brushed herself off and then blinked for a moment.

"Oh yes, fine mostly, though I do wish all the fire would go away." Alice offered with a smile, and then said with a shiver as Naruto slowly nodded his head. Growling, Larxene then grabbed Naruto's head under her arm and gave him an annoyed glare.

"Yeah, now would you PLEASE be so kind as to get us the fuck out of here?!" Larxene demanded and Naruto blinked while looking up at her.

"How? I was looking for a way out as well…" Naruto admitted and Larxene bit her lip and resisted the urge to slam him into the ground. Seeing this, Axel sighed while placing one hand on one of his hips and gave the blond haired woman a look.

"Chill Larxene, it's not like he anticipated finding us here." Axel reminded and Larxene released Naruto, and then crossed her arms over her chest with a grumble.

"Eh… right. Anyways, since this path is obviously a dead end, I might actually know the way out." Naruto offered and Larxene glared at the blond as he walked off, then turned down a hall…

"I HATE when he does this shit…" Larxene growled out while following him, Axel ushering Alice and Tira after the young blond as they wandered through the upper corridors of the hotel…

(Twilight Town…)

Xine panted while backing away from the light users, grumbling under his breath he pushed himself onto his feet. "Man, don't you guy's know that six on one isn't fair?" Xine questioned while backing away and Sora rolled his eyes in response.

"Since when do Dark users complain this much?" The youth retorted and Xine blinked before scratching his head for a moment.

"Eh… true." He admitted and then shook his head while turning to see he was slowly being surrounded. "You know, maybe I shouldn't hold back anymore…" Xine mused to himself, Riku blinking at his words.

"Hold back?" Riku questioned of the red-eyed man and Xine chuckled for a moment, black energy forming at his feet.

"Well duh, you didn't actually think I was THIS weak… did you?" Xine quipped with a chuckle as the black energy formed into Shadows that started wrapping all around his form. "After all, I am a Seeker of Darkness, I'm not going to go and make a fight easy for you idiotic Light Users…" Xine said lowly before throwing his left hand to the side, forming a second Soul-Eater as black energy shot up around him. Soon the shadows completely consumed his form, revealing a new figure in Xine's place.

The figure was dressed in a familiar type of biological armor, the first portion of it was black, with red over the forearms and hands and blue fingers, thicker blue armored portions were over his chest with a large black heart with a red border over top it and thick blue armor also over his knees, a large belt was worn around his waist with an odd white half skirt with blue tips, with two horizontal straps holding the flaps of the skirt together in the front, a pair of Spellbinders were now visible with one placed over each of his biceps, his feet were covered by a pair of dark blue biological boots with black soles and silver trim, and a purple rope was tied around his waist.

Last was a silver apparatus over Xine's lower jaw, covering it from view in jagged waves, a pair of blades curled up behind his ears before poking back from the silver apparatus, while a final blade curled up over top his head and ended at the top of his forehead. "Like it? We Seekers know of it as Dark-Armor." Xine quipped while moving his arms and stretching for a moment, Riku feeling his eyes widen as he DID recognize that armor, as did Sora.

"R-Riku, that's the exact same Armor you used to wear!" Sora said while King-Mickey crouched into a stance and Xine blinked before grimacing as a few memories hit him, memories from his time imprisoned…

It was cold, he could feel nothing, and the entire world around him was held within glass. Slowly opening his eye, Xine looked out of his glass prison to the world outside. He saw a woman in black with green skin, someone who looked like a younger Riku at her side. "Come now, if you truly wish to find your friend, you'll need a weapon." Maleficent commented before waving towards the Soul-Eater in the ground. "Take his." She offered and Riku turned to look at her strangely.

"His?" Riku questioned and Maleficent nodded her head.

"One whose lust for power grew too strong, his very soul is now lost to it… so I believe "Soul-Eater" is an appropriate name for his weapon." She replied mysteriously, Xine's body quivering with rage from within his tomb. That hadn't been what happened, she placed him in this prison out of fear of his strength…

"If it'll eat my soul, why would I want it?" Riku questioned and the woman chuckled while placing a hand on the boy's head.

"So naive. The sword didn't eat his soul, his own power did. He was a fool who only knew battle, who only knew how to fight." She replied with a wave of her staff towards where Xine was held, the man's form quivering even more greatly. Looking to the woman warily for a moment, Riku then nodded his head before walking over to the sword. Reaching out, he took hold of its hilt before pulling it out of the ground and swinging it a few times. Blinking, Riku then placed the blunted side of Soul-Eaters blade into his hand and looked at the weapon in intrigue.

"It's light… really light considering its size." He mused and Maleficent nodded her head slowly while walking forward, covering Xine's name so her spell wouldn't be broken.

"Yes, it was created by an alchemist who fused pure Darkness with the metal of the weapon. In turn, Soul-Eater, a Dark Sword unlike any other was born." Maleficent explained while Xine narrowed his eye on the woman, crimson eye bleeding into a burnt amber color as he did.

"Right. And with this I'll be able to fight the Heartless?" Riku questioned and Maleficent nodded her head while walking over to the boy.

"Of course, and then you'll be able to search for your dear missing friend… though I do warn you, he may not miss you." Maleficent replied and Riku gave her a fierce glare in response.

"You don't know Sora like I do…" He mumbled while walking out of the room, Maleficent smirking as she turned to look directly at Xine.

"Your power will be useful in turning the boy to my side." She mused before holding her staff out, pulling energy out of Xine, which formed into a dark sphere floating above her hand. "Yes, I believe I still have use for you, Seeker of Darkness." She mused to herself quietly before following after the silver haired youth at a sedate pace…

Gritting his teeth Xine quickly shook his head of the images and scowled towards Sora and Riku deeply. "Well, there is a reason for that… but I don't think you need to know it." Xine grumbled before standing up straight and leaning Soul-Eater into his shoulder with an annoyed frown. "All you really need to know right know is why you shouldn't piss off a Seeker of Darkness!" Xine then roared as black glass formed over his face and he took a stance with his twin Soul-Eaters before slamming them together hilt to hilt and spinning the double-bladed weapon at his side.

King-Mickey was the first to attack, lunging at Xine from the side the man blocked with one end of his weapon before twisted into a kick to King-Mickey's face. Sora and Riku then lashed out from his sides and Xine ducked down while catching both of their keyblades with the handle of his weapon. Smirking, Xine then spun his weapon, catching both boys across the face with the attack. Kairi quickly cast a spell from behind, a bolt of lightning coming down towards Xine only for the Xine it hit to turn into a black puff of smoke.

Eyes wide, Kairi looked for Xine, the man suddenly appearing behind her and twirling his double bladed sword above his head before swinging it at her. Goofy quickly blocked the attack with his shield however, and Donald quickly sent a ball of ice slamming into Xine. However the Xine turned into a puff of black smoke once more as he reappeared behind Donald. Riku quickly held up a hand and fired his Dark-Aura into Xine, knocking the man to the side where he flipped back to his feet.

Flipping back to his own feet, Sora ran towards Xine before crouching and launching himself forward with a swing of his key. Seeing this, Xine quickly blocked the attack before kicking Sora in the stomach and swung upwards with his weapon, knocking Sora back while King-Mickey and Riku lunged at him. Growling lowly, Xine twisted and turned around the attacks from King-Mickey and Riku before flipping into the air and forming his own Dark-Aura over himself, and then sent bolts of Darkness slamming into King-Mickey and Riku.

Grunting as they hit, Riku and King-Mickey quickly got up as Xine landed on the ground, then split his double bladed sword. Twirling both weapons at his sides he leaned one over his shoulders before lunging forward, his other Soul-Eater dragging across the ground and sparking. Swinging his free Soul-Eater at Riku, the youth quickly took a step back before blocking the next swing with his Way-To-Dawn. Narrowing his eyes, Xine then used an over handed swing with his other Soul-Eater, Riku cursing and quickly rolling out of the way as he did.

Feeling a presence, Xine then ducked below a swing from King-Mickey and then jumped up, slamming his helmeted head into King-Mickey's chin. Falling back from the impact, King-Mickey rubbed his chin for a second before rolling back as Xine turned into a swing at him. Landing in a crouch, Mickey lashed out at Xine, using quick movements and his naturally small stature against the taller man. Blocking a slash, Xine then grunted as King-Mickey lashed out at him with a kick that connected with his side. Growling he then swung his weapons at the mouse, King-Mickey dancing around them before swinging at him once more.

Moving quickly, Xine blocked the Keyblade with one Soul-Eater before swinging at the mouse once more. King-Mickey merely flipped over the attempt and then flipped into a spin into Xine's solar plexus. Grunting and backing up, Xine placed a hand to his chest before growling low in his throat. "Why you little!" He grumbled before twirling his Soul-Eaters in his hands then slammed them together blade to blade. Instantly a massive version of the sword was formed and Xine leaned it against his shoulders for a moment. It was at least twice the length of the original Soul-Eater, and twice as thick as well, with two eyes at its hilt now pulsing slightly, a pair of sharp spikes forming out of the guard.

Blinking in confusion, King-Mickey didn't see the point too the change, lunging forward, sure the increase in size would mean an increase in weight, King-Mickey lashed out with a quick swing of his Keyblade. However, his theory was prove false as Xine effortlessly rolled backwards, still holding the massive Soul-Eater and then swung it with both arms, slamming it into Mickey and sending him flying. Leaning the weapon into his shoulders once more, Xine then lunged at Riku, the youth blinking in surprise before flipping back as Xine swung the weapon with unreal speed.

Chuckling to himself, Xine then swung upwards with the weapon, thus sending an arc of dark-Energy flying towards Riku. Seeing this, Riku quickly blocked with Way-to-Dawn, only to be sent flying back anyways. Chuckling in his throat as Riku slammed into the side of a building, Xine then turned towards Sora and took hold of his blades hilt with both hands. "Now I'll show you, true Darkness!" Xine called before rearing his blade back and then lunging at Sora in a sonic thrust. Thinking quickly, Sora blocked the oncoming blade before swinging his Keyblade up, knocking the large weapon back and leaving Xine open.

Twisting into a slash, Sora sent Xine flying back, the man flipping in midair to land on his feet before hitting the ground. Frowning slightly, Xine then pulled the large blade apart into two once more before holding his hands to his sides. Instantly the two Soul-Eaters formed into four knives between his fingers like Larxene. Crouching back for a moment, Xine then lunged at Sora, vanishing into a black void before lashing out at Sora, swinging his arms wildly.

Dodging around the attacks as fast as he could, Sora then ducked under an attack before twisting into a slash, knocking Xine off balance. Quickly taking a step back, Sora then threw his Keyblade in an air raid, slamming it into Xine where Riku and King-Mickey nodded to one another and jumped into action. Catching Xine at his back both slashed upwards, sending the man flying into the air. Grunting in pain, Xine quickly shook his head before forming his two Soul-Eaters once more, then pulled them together hilt to blade. Instantly he formed a long spear with a wing curving over his left hand as a guard, his other hand on the handle.

"Alright, now I'm really going to cut loose!" Xine exclaimed as he turned his Spear tip down towards the ground and slammed into it. Instantly spikes of Darkness started to come up out of the ground at the group. Sora and Riku easily evaded them before heading over to Xine, then two then swinging their keyblades into the man. Shaking his head, Xine then spun his spear over his head before lunging forward. Swinging the weapon like a staff, Xine, caught Riku in the back before lifting it up, sending Riku into the air. Twisting around Xine then slammed the staff into Riku, slamming the silver haired youth into the ground.

"Riku!" Sora cried before lunging at Xine and swinging his Keyblade, Xine quickly blocking the attack only for Mickey to kick him from the side, knocking him over to the side. Falling to one knee, Xine placed a hand to his head as black energy began to waft from his body, forming into wisps around him.

"Ugh… my strength returns…" He mumbled while his Spear began to glow black, suddenly shifting into a Scythe. Standing and spinning the scythe overhead, Xine then swung it down before lunging at King-Mickey and Sora. Swinging the weapon King-Mickey blocked while Sora tried to lash out at Xine, only for him to vanish. Looking around in confusion, Sora didn't see as Xine appeared behind them and swung his Scythe over them before dragging it towards himself, cutting into both Sora and King-Mickey as he did so.

Grunting in pain as the blade cut through them, Sora cast a quick Curaga spell before lunging at Xine once more. Seeing this, Xine grunted then blocked a swing from Sora while King-Mickey used a barrel roll over the boy to slash his weapon into Xine's face. Falling back, Xine placed a hand down and flipped back to his feet before snapping his finger, his Scythe vanishing as his twin Soul-Eaters appeared in his hands once more. "Prepare yourself…" Xine suddenly uttered as the glow around him shot outwards consuming the area in black energy as he then began to float into the air.

Instantly, a black shell of Darkness formed around Xine, before suddenly spinning black versions of the man shot out of it. Cursing, Sora and King-Mickey evaded the black versions of Xine, running as they started to slam into the ground where they had been. Once the attack was over and Xine reappeared he then crouched back before launching himself forward, swinging his swords, beams of energy flying from them and heading straight for Sora. Moving quickly, Riku blocked the attack, flying over Sora and landing with a grunt.

Growling, Sora slid to a halt and narrowed his eyes on Xine, as he came running towards him. "No more running away…" He muttered before closing his eyes and then opening them with a flash of light, his clothing now a combination of black and yellow with two keyblades in hand, one Oblivion, the other his Kingdom Key. Holding his Kingdom Key over his shoulders while Oblivion floated out of his left hand, Sora quickly lunged at Xine. Swinging Oblivion into the Seeker, Sora then turned, swinging his Kingdom-Key upwards before bringing both down on the man. Not finished, Sora twisted around, knocking both blades into Xine before lifting them up, sending Sora flying into the air as he did.

Twirling his two keyblades in his hands, Sora then quickly launched into the air, swinging his keyblades rapidly into Xine before bringing them down on him. "T-Two… Keyblades… Is… is that why?" Xine questioned of himself before slamming into the ground with a grunt, darkness wafting from his body to reveal his black-cloaked form. Groaning in pain, Xine rolled onto his side and looked up as Sora landed before him, lightning crackling over his hands.

"So… your stronger than you look." Xine mused to himself before shaking his head and stood up, a hand to his chest. "It doesn't matter… your just one Key-Bearer… ugh, and you're not the one that I truly want to fight…" Xine grunted out as a Dark-Corridor opened up beneath him slowly pulling him into the shadows. "Until next time… Kid." Xine then said with a mock salute towards Sora as he faded into the shadows, vanishing without leaving a trace of his presence…

(??)

In a sea of Darkness, a clawed hand rose up and out of its endless obsidian depths. The hand had blood red clawed fingers, but the hand wrist and forearm were onyx black, soon a familiar figure pulled itself fully out of the dark ocean. Looking up, a helmeted head looked around before groaning as he pulled his other arm, and a Keyblade from the depths of Darkness. "Where am I?" The familiar deep demonic voice questioned before grunting as he placed a hand to his throbbing head. Looking around, Kyuubi found himself on a massive mountain, and upon looking down he saw a small city.

"Well, I suppose I could torment a few Ningens' Souls while I try to figure out where I am… then hunt down that blasted Gaki for sending me into the depths of Darkness!" Kyuubi said to himself with a low growl only to blink as he felt a dark presence, far greater, and more evil than even him…

"You're in my world, Worm." An ominous voice echoed out and Kyuubi's eyes flared in rage while looking up. However, upon seeing who said the words he felt only unbridled fear and felt his body shake. Atop the very peak of the mountain, a form stirred to life, soon it twitched and then a massive wing was unfurled. Another wing soon followed it as a large beast stood with its arms folded over its chest, its back to the full moon behind it and swirling dark clouds all around.

The being was enormous, standing within the mouth of a volcano, having obsidian black skin and bright yellow eyes, his body was muscular and masculine, with two curved horns atop his head, his mouth was twisted into a wicked grin while his pointed ears framed his face, reaching a clawed hand down the being scooped up a terrified Kyuubi while his enormous wings stretched outward, lightning flashing and the spirits of the dead rising up around the demonic entity.

"Y-you… L-lord Ch-Chernabog…" Kyuubi whispered in fear as Chernabog grinned sinisterly while looking down at the tiny creature held in his hand, sharp fangs glinting in the pale light of the full moon. Slowly kneeling down, Kyuubi shivered as he could feel the malicious grin cross over Chernabog's face. 'How many lesser demons have died upon seeing that cursed grin?' Kyuubi wondered to himself, well aware of the vicious, cruel, and utterly sadistic habits of the Dark Lord, Chernabog…

"I have called you to my world worm… I have need of your power." Chernabog's "Voice" echoed, though truly, Chernabog did not speak in the normal sense that Demons or Humans did… After all, it was beneath something like him.

"You… n-need my power?" Kyuubi questioned incredulously and saw a scowl start to cross over Chernabog's face at his words. "Er! I mean, of course, you only want my help! You don't NEED anything!" Kyuubi quickly said to placate the "Black God" that was known to all the worlds simply as Chernabog… Grin returning, Chernabog raised Kyuubi up, then narrowed his eyes on the tiny fiend in his clutches.

"Yes." Chernabog's otherworldly voice hissed into Kyuubi's mind as he gazed into the eyes of the tiny creature within his fist. "I have use for one such as you, one who can travel into the realm of light." Chernabog's voice echoed out as he brought his wings around himself and Kyuubi, the Demonic Seeker mentally gulping.

"What would you have me do?" Kyuubi questioned and Chernabog held out his other hand, a shadow descending down across the horizon and over the village below. The sleepy little village suddenly shifted, buildings arching and stretching under Chernabog's dark powers, as something started to form from them. Bats flew from the buildings as wicked specters began to rise out of them, answering their Black-God's call… 'I have a really bad feeling about this…' Kyuubi inwardly mused as the spirits and demons rose up and started to fly around Chernabog.

Turning to another portion of the village, Chernabog pointed two fingers down, calling even more spirits to him as Kyuubi watched on in fear of the Black-God's power. Riding the winds around the mountain Chernabog had made his home, the spirits then swirled around their master as Chernabog grinned evilly once more. Raising his single free hand, Chernabog then forced the countless souls and spirits to fly around his arm before he then sent them all into the fires of the volcano on which he rested, Kyuubi's eyes widening in fear as he grinned maliciously. "Look to the flames and you shall have your answer…" Chernabog uttered ominously and Kyuubi slowly got up and walked over to the side of Chernabog's hand to look down…

What he saw was Sora, Donald, and Goofy, fighting and then defeating the black god… 'Those little punks beat Lord Chernabog!?' Kyuubi wondered with wide eyes and Chernabog reached down and crushed the vision of Sora and his friends in one hand, face twisting into a dark sneer.

"Those who walk with Light can harm me… but, they cannot hope to destroy me. I am The Black God of Demons, I am Unending Darkness, I am Chernabog, and I will not stand for this humiliation!" Chernabog replied darkly while closing his fist over Kyuubi, slowly crushing the Demonic Seeker in his grip. "And you will bring them to me worm… or suffer my wrath!" Chernabog rumbled out angrily and Kyuubi nodded his head vehemently while trying to keep the Black-God from crushing him in his grip.

"Yes! I get it! I'll help you!" Kyuubi exclaimed loudly and Chernabog grinned evilly while releasing Kyuubi from his death grip. "But how will I even find this boy and his two friends?" Kyuubi then questioned and Chernabog merely lowered his hand into the flames of the Volcano of his home world, Bald Mountain, then pulled some lava from the volcano and clenched his fist over it. Releasing his grip on the lava revealed what looked like a horse made from lava, its eyes a burning crimson and dark almost bat like wings stretching from his backs and to its sides as it neighed loudly, a burst of fire forming from its nostrils.

"This steed will take you from world to world in the realm of light. That is all the power it holds however, unless in the realm of Darkness where it will gain strength." Chernabog replied then narrowed his eyes on Kyuubi with a sneer as he dropped the tiny Demonic-Seeker next to the lava-horse. "And remember worm, should you betray me, your suffering will never end." Chernabog's voice echoed ominously and Kyuubi nodded his head before hopping onto the back of the steed as it neighed once more and flapped its wings, flying from Chernabog's hand and into the air.

Grinning as the Demonic-Seeker left him and disappeared into a dark portal, Chernabog folded his arms over his chest… biding his time and waiting for the day when he would take his vengeance…

TBC…

AN: The "Xehanort Report" in this chapter is from BBS, I found that it's on the KH-Wiki so I figured why not give Naruto a little more insight to the old man and his life compared to Sora by having him start to find them. As for the last bit, I felt Chernabog from KH1 deserved a better appearance, his cameo as a boss was great since I liked Fantasia, but he just appeared out of no where for no reason… well… this time he has a reason, and he's back with a vengeance… Now before anyone yells about Kyuubi being afraid, Chernabog was originally introduced by Walt Disney, not as "Chernabog", but rather as "Lucifer Himself"… nuff said…

Here's a list of Naruto's Keyblades thus far…

Dark-Heart: A Keyblade with the corrupting Powers of Darkness capable of creating Heartless from anyone cut by its blade. A lightweight Keyblade of the Realm of Darkness perfect for single handed use, due to its function, this weapon is useless against Heartless though is very effective against Somebodies and Soulless.

Soul-Blade: An inherently evil Keyblade with the power to devour souls. A surprisingly light keyblade well suited for singe or double handed use, perfect for fighting Soulless or Somebodies, though it is all but useless against Heartless.

Gears of Madness: An old Keyblade that once belonged to the Apprentice of Master Xehanort. A Light weight Keyblade that unlike his other blades has the ability to destroy Heartless, though is useless against Soulless…

Vorpal-Key: A Keyblade forged from a shard of the Vorpal-sword, capable of cutting through anything, even a foot of solid steel. A heavy double handed Keyblade, requires two hands to use properly, useless against Heartless and Soulless, but perfect for use against Somebodies and Nobodies…
