Hi guys. This chapter will get us to the point we have all been waiting for… Sora meeting Shade! The results of that action are going to be… very… well… you'll see. The beginning of this chapter will be very comedic. The ending… again, you will see. And I might not be able to regurally update until November. … Marching band, while fun, leaves little time to write. That plus homework, helping my friends, hanging with my girlfriend, etc. leave very little time for sleep, let alone writing. I thought if get more done during the summer, but… shit came up. It always does with me. Well… on with the chapter.

Chapter 29: Revelations Part 2: Conference

"You are kidding me, right? Just as we get here some dipshit HHH eartless have to try to ram us with a freaking shuttle so that we have to evacuate the freaking ship! Does this always have to happen! !" screamed the crew member as the collision alarm blared in the background.

"Yah, basically. Crazy shit like this happens to us all the time. It's like we are stuck in a crappy fanfic with an author who is either too busy or too lazy or both to write most of the time and when he does write his writing is as random as Mel Gibson drunk except with a lot less Jew jokes and more pain. Also, I bet you are going to die in the next five minutes or so. This author is willing to gravely injure the main characters and even kill off Organization XIII characters, so some poor nameless character like you doesn't stand a snow ball in hell's chance of survival."Sora broke the fourth wall so badly that the glass wall in the cafeteria actually shattered in sympathy. Or maybe it shattered due to the extreme frequency of the sound waves coming from the alarm systems. It goes deep into the range above human hearing in pitch, so that is a very good possibility as well.

"Sora… what did I tell you about breaking the fourth wall?" said Kairi in an exasperated voice to Sora. At that, Sora's expression turned sheepish.

"To not do it. I am sorry Kairi. I had no choice. The author made me do it." Said Sora in an apologetic voice. That breaking of the fourth wall actually repaired that same glass wall that had just been shattered. Apparently, the reference in the breaking of the fourth wall the second time to the first time was powerful enough to screw around with physics yet again, restoring the bonds between the molecules of the glass.

"Lets just…" the rest of Kairi's words were cut off by another announcement on the PA system.

"Attention. The Shuttle craft seems to be attempting to ram itself into the hangar bay, as if to land itself. Prepare for borders." Said the staticy, grainy voice of the PA. The klaxons stopped blaring after the PA announcement was finished.

"Wait… we have weapons on this ship… why don't we just blast the thing to shreds? And how did it get to us in the first place? I thought we were with an entire fleet of ships… ships that also have powerful anti ship weapons…. As well as star fighters that could intercept the shuttle before it gets here. And don't we have shields of some sort to protect us from shit like this? What is this!" shouted the rather pissed off and confused crew member.

"well… the weapons were off line for maintenance and to conserve power, we are on the fringes of the fleet, the ship managed to get past our scouts and skirmish line somehow, and most of our fighter screen is in the skirmish line, with the few fighters that aren't in the line refueling in the hangar." Shouted a crew member who was running by. Sora shouted a thank you after him.

"… crap." Cursed the crew member.

"… Since we now have a little bit of time, shall I fill you all in on some things?"shouted Roxas in a rather cryptic tone.

"Sure." Said Sora as he, Kairi, and the crew member moved towards the table where the rest of their friends were gathered. Kairi and the crew member pulled up chairs and sat on either side of Sora in his wheel chair.

"… ok. … as you all may know, when Namine and I died, we became Nobodies. We have been trying to figure out why. Why didn't we just die. Why we were chosen to be revived as Nobodies out of everybody else. It is definitely connected to us being the heirs to the heroes of the attack on Hollow Bastion. Yet… something else is also linked to this. We believe it has to do with the relationship between Kingdom Hearts and the Nothing. … we also have a theory that there is a lot more to the Nothing than we once thought. That there might be creatures made of the Nothing. That they may be responsible for the disappearance of worlds, not the Heartless. That… the Heartless might not be our true enemy. That they might actually want to live in peace. More research will be necessary however. Yet… we will need Heartless for this research." Explained Roxas. There were a load of gasps, a couple of shocked expressions, a murmur of surprise, and the shattering of glass when the glass of water Riku was holding slipped from his hand.

"… are you saying that all that crap we have been fed over the past four days about the heartless being evil might not be true? That we lost five assholes that we call friends to these creatures for no reason? That we are at war for no reason?" shouted Axel, outraged.

"…yes. That's what I am saying." Said Roxas in a heavy, tired tone of voice.

"How did you reach this conclusion? Didn't the Heartless attack us first?" asked a crew member curiously.

"We believe that the Heartless are actually intelligent, not mindless brutes like we thought they were. That they are sentient creatures with sentient desires like building a civilization for themselves. We have sent scouts to worlds that have been under Heartless control for quite some time and they appear to be building cities, not just military bases. It also appears that there are civilian heartless, and that they might actually be evolving to reproduce on their own." Responded Namine.

"… wait what? How are they evolving to reproduce?" asked the poor, confused crew member who had accompanied Sora and Kairi.

"Two heartless give up a small part of their bodies… and hearts… to form a third Heartless. Over time, that Heartless's small heart will grow larger and more powerful until eventually that new Heartless is as powerful as the first two. The parents also recover their full strength as well. It can happen between two different types of Heartless, resulting in hybrids the likes of which no one has seen before. This is all theoretical as of yet, and we need a lot more research. Talking to a heartless would also be very helpful information wise." Said Namine in a calm, scientist like voice.

"Why would they be evolving that feature now?" asked Sora, intrigued.

"It seems as if they have captured enough territory to allow them to settle down and form a civilization of their own." explained Namine.

"Attention. The Heartless have broken through our defensive line and are en route to the galley. Any and all remaining forces head towards the cafeteria. Beware." Blared the PA announcer.

"… ok then. This works out perfectly. All we have to do is convince them not to kill us and to negotiate with us and maybe we can end this war right here, right now." Said Roxas in a determined, hopeful voice.

"Just block their attacks. Only land a disabling blow. Don't go for the kill. We want them alive, remember. If they toss magic at you, try to dodge it. If you can't, try to block the attack with your weapon. Try not to deflect it back at them. If you cannot block… well, hope that you are magical enough to survive a spell or two blasting you." Said Namine much to the surprise of almost everyone present. Apparently turning into a Nobody gives one

They took up battle positions, including Sora and Kairi, who were surrounded by Saix, Axel, Zexion, Namine, Roxas, Donald, Goofy, and Luxord in between the table and the entrance to the cafeteria coming from the hangar. They had weapons in hand and determination on their faces. About a minute after they got into position they heard the sound of something sprinting through the corridors outside the galley.

"Here they come. Get ready for them." Said Sora in a voice that would be more appropriate coming from the mouth of a Marine sergeant in a B grade World War II movie than in this situation now.

For the 2nd time that day, the glass wall of the galley shattered into millions of pieces. In the blink of an eye, four heartless were standing in front of where the glass used to be in the galley. The allies tensed up, ready to defend against an attack. However, the Heartless were too busy staring at Sora and Kairi to attack.

"Wait… are they really fucking injured?" said the tall, skinny, armored one.

"Afraid so, Shade. For once Intelligence was right." Said the short one in the color changing outfit.

"God damn it. This takes all the fun out of it." Said the one called Shade.

"… are you going to attack us, or can we skip to negotiating a peace between our two sides now." Asked Kairi in a semi sarcastic, tired, pissed off voice. She was shivering for some reason, and in pain. It felt like everything that happened to her since she came to this world has caught up with her at this very second, all the little aches and pains, all the physical and mental tiredness. She wanted to collapse onto the floor right then and there, but she could not. She would not. Sora needed her to be strong, to fight for him.

"...wait… what? Did you say negotiate a peace?" said all four of the Heartless at once, extremely shocked.
