Young Xehanort stood before the Lunar Diviner patiently waiting for the man to make his decision.
Saix stared at the young man, the spitting image of his former superior. What could he hope to gain from such a man, one who would allow the suffering of others to benefit his own goals? But then again it was his original goal to follow the original plan, hence why he left the Organization. What decision was the Diviner coming to?
Saix began to smile… "You know I'll admit there was a time when these plans meant everything to me. All I wanted was to gain a heart and become a part of something greater than myself. To become more like Xemnas and those like him…. But those were different times, and I was a different man. I have already achieved such a goal fighting for the side of light. I have friends and a goal, to rid the world of Organization. I've seen and endured what people like you are capable of. You all only seek destruction with no substance, nothing will come from that. My days of the black coat are over. Sorry but I have made my decision" Saix said standing firmly.
Young Xehanort scowled with deep distain, disappointed that the Diviner would not follow his wishes. "I never would have guessed you would be the one to believe in this friendship stuff. No matter, you and your friends are all walking into an abyss you will never escape from. You should have taken my offer when you had the chance. You will regret brushing me off Saix" Young Xehanort said exiting through a corridor of darkness.

Location: World that Never Was
Dexter walked through the hall pondering about the meeting. The scientist truly believed that there was more to the universe than accessible info can produce. Most of the Organization did not even want to think let alone believe in such a possibility. Have they all gotten lazy, Dexter has often thought. Granted every world they stepped on was conquered save for Atlantica, but to him there are still things he did not quite understand. His own memory was fuzzy; he did not even fully understand where he came from and how he came to be. He asked most the same question to all the rest of the Organization, only Xepher having the same answer as he. Despite not having all the details to his origin Dexter's loyalty to the Organization is unmatched. As he continued to stroll through the hall he encountered Xigbar. Dexter began to walk past the marksmen.
"That's rude, just walking past me like that" Xigbar said.
Dexter paused his step, "What is it that you want Xigbar?" Dexter asked. As loyal as Dexter was to the Organization he was not the kind to derail his thoughts with ideal chitchat, something that Xigbar was famous for.
"Just wanted to ask you something… in fact it is more like a proposal" Xigbar said with a mischievous grin.
"And that would be?" Dexter asked halfway interested in what the marksman had to say.
"You're theory on other worlds, I agree" Xigbar said.
Dexter raised an eyebrow to the statement.
"A while back the shinobi lands were unheard of; in fact it is as if the world just appeared from thin air. One minute it wasn't there the next it was. Many worlds have been in flux, some being findable and others disappearing without warning. Me and Vex spoke briefly on this phenomenon awhile back before you and the others joined us. Where did that world come from? Was the main question we pondered over and over again" Xigbar said.
"What made you guys stop your research?" Dexter asked out of curiosity.
"We eventually got too caught up in the resources of the shinobi lands, putting our plans for other world search on the back burner. It seems Vexen forgot about it, but I remembered the minute you brought your theory to the meeting" Xigbar said.
Dexter fixed his glasses, as famous as Xigbar is for ideal chitchat what comes out of his mouth often holds merit if one was to truly listen to what the marksman had to say. "So what exactly do you have in mind?" Dexter asked.
"We need to find out what else is out there. I believe if we could find out where other worlds such as the shinobi lands, it would be beneficial for our rule. We could experiment on the properties of these worlds and take everything they have just like we did the Shinobi Lands" Xigbar said.
"I would be more than happy to find out about these worlds, but Xemnas has assigned me and Zexion to capture the boy" Dexter responded.
"A task neither of you would accomplish, If that kid is as different as you think, I am sure your royal highness is keeping a short leash on him" Xigbar explained.
"Yes… the queen and her minions have become quite bothersome as of late" Dexter said.
"We need to find out what's out there before they do and use it against us" Xigbar said.
Dexter quivered at the thought of those lightlings finding out information that can give them a permanent upper hand. "True, but most members feel as though this is a waste of time" Dexter said.
"Most of our family is arrogant in their own abilities; Don't get me wrong, we have every right to be, we totally kicked everyone's ass. But I've been around long enough to know not to sleep on these lightlings" Xigbar said.
"You are smarter than you look none the less I am going to be blunt with you. Tell me exactly what you want from me and stop wasting my time" Dexter said getting straight to the point.
Xigbar flailed his hands in the air ridiculously, "Fine, no need to be a sour puss about it. Look there's this guy me and Yuganda bumped into awhile back. He gave us pretty alarming news. After he told us he fled. I have traveled across the lands searching far and wide for the man but I had no traces. When I asked people about him they looked at me as if I was retarded. I believe this man may be able to be found if your hypothesis is true" Xigbar said.
"What is this man's name?" Dexter asked.
"His name is Rumpelstiltskinalso known as the dark one" Xigbar said.
Dexter flexed his glasses, for some reason the name was familiar to him but he could not place why. "Peculiar emotion within response to the incoming stimuli, what does the man look like" Dexter asked.
"He's an ill looking man with green skin similar to that of a crocodile. He has curly brown hair, wears a lot of leather. You can't miss him; the guy seriously has a case of the crazies often using his magic to warp from place to place" Xigbar explained.
"If I agree to this then will you get conformation from our superior that I may continue my research" Dexter said.
"Without, question dude" Xigbar said.
"Then I will accept this task. I will however inform the other scientist of this mission. I do not wish to boggle within such experiments alone" Dexter said.
"Do as you please… just deliver the message that the young bounty hunter he encountered years ago named Braig is looking for him."

Location: Spellweaver Academy
Axel rushed through the hall along with Henry in desperate search for Queen Aqua. "Axel!" the flame assassin, here's a voice.
Approaching him was Ino wearing a short purple shirt and shorts, with high black stockings and pink, white and purple sneakers.
"Hey Ino, have you seen the Queen it is an urgent matter."
"No I'm afraid I last saw her with Sakura, they should be outside in the fields" Ino answered. Ino then noticed the boy accompanied by Axel. "Hey there, how are you? I'm Ino what's your name."
The boy shook the girl's hand, "I'm Henry."
"We can get formal later I have to find Aqua" Axel said grabbing the boys hand. Ino tagged along curious to what is so important that Axel had to rush.
The three made it to the training field, once they arrived the saw Sakura and Aqua furiously practicing. Aqua shot prism rade at Sakura, Sakura quickly dodged every attack. Sakura then shot a purple blast that dispersed into many. Aqua levitated in the air effortlessly reflecting the attack. Aqua then charged at Sakura and swung her light filled destiny crest keyblade, Sakura dodged leaving the swing to hit the ground, the ground then erupted with a huge wave of light that over took Sakura. Aqua stood in place looking for Sakura after the attack. All she could see is the petals she left behind after she partially escaped.
"AQUA!" Ino shouted, Aqua brought her attention to Ino. Sakura then appeared on Aqua's side decking Aqua in the face. The attack sent Aqua flying into a tree. Sakura rushed to her Queens aide. "I'm so sorry" she said.
Aqua got to her feet spitting out blood. She casted Curega on herself. "I'm fine, but damn you almost took my head off there" Aqua said with a gentile smile.
Sakura breathed easy now knowing that her queen was fine. Sakura wore black short shorts with a red shirt zipper shirt similar to the one she wore four years ago except it was open, under that shirt she wore a black shirt.
The two walked over to Ino and company, "For future references please wait until the training session is over. If Sakura would have hit me with her full strength I probably could have died" Aqua scolded Ino. Ino put her head down in shame.
"Your Majesty, we have urgent news" Axel said.
"Report" Aqua commanded.
"It would be best if we brought this information to the meeting" Axel said.
Aqua and company appeared in the conference room in a flash of light. The other council members immediately noticed the four warriors accompanied by the boy.
"Pleasure for you to make it my queen, I do believe you originally said you were not able to make it" Nagato said.
"Change of plans, Axel has come across a discovery that may change everything" Queen Aqua said. The council gave their full attention to Axel.
"Well… where do I begin, first off this boy right here is not from around these parts? His name is….. ah, kid what's your name again" Axel asked.
"My name is Henry" the boy said.
"Well that's nice but what does another worlder have to do with our plans" Saix said.
"Where this kid comes from apparently we are characters in a game called Kingdom Hearts" Axel said. Immediately the whole council were shocked.
Henry took the opportunity to speak up, "Well some of you are from the game, others are from a T.V show" Henry said.
"What exactly do you mean where just a game, then everything that happened to us is preordained?" Riku asked in fear of his life.
"No… from what Axel tells me things are different. Some of you guys were never supposed to co-exist. Where I come from all your tales are different" Henry said. He looked over the council, he pointed to Riku, and "You become a Keyblade master and are currently preparing to fight Xehanorts 13 darknesses."
Riku smirked, "You got that right, but how is that different from what we are going through now. We still are fighting Xehanort and his 12 band of flunkies" Riku said.
"No… the fiendish 13 as Axel calls them and the 13 darknesses are something interiorly different. You are fighting Xemnas and 12 others true enough but something does not add up. Naruto, Hinata and Orochimaru are not supposed to even co-exist alongside the 13. Besides that 4 other members are unidentified in my world, the only ones that make sense to be a part of Organization 13 are Xemnas, Xigbar, Xaldin, Vexen, Luxord and Zexion. Everyone is out of place" Henry explained. He then pointed to Saix, "You were amongst those who were to be a part of the 13 darknesses."
Saix closed his eyes and sighed, "I am aware of that plan" Saix said, the council turned their attention to Saix. "Originally Xemnas wanted to use Kingdom Hearts to spread the heart of Xehanort amongst the members of Organization 13 so they can renounce their sense of self. His plans began to change when he and the others started to meddle in the shinobi lands. In turn Xemnas became more concerned with conquering rather than our original goal. Thus he shared the powers of Kingdom Hearts with the fiendish 13 and conquered as equals." Saix explained.
Axel was outraged, "Wait a minute; you were planning to strip us of our individuality. How could you" Axel said furiously. He and Saix have always been like oil and water, two composing elements that should never go together. After the events of their escape, Axel decided to trust the Diviner once more, he never would have guessed the Diviner would stoop so low and follow such a plan.
"Those were different times Axel, I was desperate for a heart, I did not care who's heart. I just did not want to feel empty anymore. I was driven by jealousy and rage something I do not want to repeat. Things are different now, whether you want to believe me or not I found a home and people I care about within this academy. I would not trade this life for the anything, got it memorized" Saix said using Axel's quote.
Axel smiled slightly, "I'll hold you to that Isa" Axel said calling Saix by his original name.
"So what else do you know boy, what about us Akastuki, which role do we play in Kingdom Hearts?" Kisame asked Henry.
"You don't, you guys are in a T.V show called Naruto Shippuden. You are a band of mercenaries' hell bent on capturing the tailed beast." Henry then looked to Jiraiya, "Jiraiya you die by the hands of Nagato's six paths of Pain."
Jiraya chuckled "As if Nagato would ever try to kill me" Jiraiya said confidently.
"Things were complicated" Henry said as he began to bring his attention to Nagato. "You fight Naruto using the six paths of Pain, eventually they expire and Naruto talks you into feeling bad about your sins. You use a technique to bring back those you killed, killing yourself in turn" Henry said.
"Rinne rebirth huh, Naruto must have been really different than the one we all new and despise" Nagato said.
"Yes, he is the main character of the show, a loud outgoing hero who wants to be Hokage. The Naruto that you guys are talking about is opposite to the Naruto of the show" Henry said. He then brought his attention to Itachi and Sasuke, "You two have an epic clash to the death, Itachi planned death happened and Sasuke learned the truth about Itachi" Henry said.
"What truth!" Sasuke yelled desperate to know the incoming information.
Itachi felt a quiver in his spine, did this boy know his origins that well.
"Itachi was set up to kill your clansmen; your clan was planning to betray the village after being oppressed. Danzo and Hiruzen ordered Itachi to kill every Uchiha, you included. Itachi succeeded in his goal but could not kill his brother who he loved so much. In turn the third Hokage banished Itachi from the village branding him a traitor" Henry explained.
Sasuke looked at his brother not knowing how exactly how to feel. He knew Itachi wasn't a villain and never understood exactly why his brother did the things he did, but this boy… this strange boy who somehow had intel of every single person in the room made sense.
Itachi looked at his brother not saying a word, he wanted to take that secret to his grave. It was his greatest dishonor, having to choose his village or the clan.
Aqua stood up, "As heartfelt as that was we must continue. Sasuke, Itachi I want you two to exit the meeting to reevaluate your feelings." The two Uchiha's did as the queen said. After they left Aqua brought her attention to Henry. "Henry, what I want you to do is tell us what exactly happened in Kingdom Hearts in chronological order. It will make us access this situation a lot better"
Henry began, "It all started with Xehanort"

Location: Neverland
A boat appeared on Neverland shores; The Jolly Roger a vessel belonging to the notorious Captain Hook. This Captain Hook was different from the one Sora and friends encountered. Unlike the previous Hook this man was handsome with a daring smile. He wore a leather jacket matching the rest of his outfit. He wielded a rapier and his famous hook on his left hand. He got off the boat and immediately was startled.
"What is that?" said a voice coming from the boat. Snow White, different like Hook. She had semi short hair and an innocent face; she wore a white button up shirt with a dark blue jacket and black slacks. She had an arrow holster on her back with her trusty bow in her hand. She looked to the sky to see a giant iron fortress hovering over the island.
The next to exit the boat was Snow Whites antagonist reformed, The Evil Queen, otherwise known as Regina. She had shoulder length jet black hair with a vicious bloody queen glare she wore very well, just as her blood red lipstick. She wore a blue jacket with a white button up shirt and a black pants and heels. "Was this giant eyesore always here" Regina asked.
"I'm afraid not lassy, this is fairly new to me as well" Hook said.
"I doesn't matter, so long as we find Henry, I don't care" said a young woman named Emma leaving the boat. She had long blond hair and a sure of herself look pasted on her face. She had a grey tank top with black pants and black boots. She had a sword holder holding her blade on her back.
The last to exit the Jolly Rodger was Snow Whites husband David, otherwise known as Price Charming. He was a fare looking young lad with short dirty blond hair, a leather jacket, blue button up and a black vest. He wore black jeans with a sword holder on the left side of him. "Where exactly do we start looking for him?" Charming asked.
"Well, Pan and his lost boys are normally deep in the forest, but now with this huge castle being there I could only guess they are there" Hook said.
The platoon moved further into the dark woods where anything was possible. Hook knew these woods like the back of his hook… however the creatures that now inhabitied these dark woods were strangers to all of them. A blue shadow emerged from the ground taking the form, an unversed. The platoon prepared there weapons to battle. Charming swung his blade getting rid of the threat. As he did more of these bit sized monster began to appear.
"What are these thing?" Emma asked Hook.
"I don't know, these creatures are strange to me to" Hook said attacking one of them. The platoon was surrounded by enemies on all sides.
On the Iron Fortress Vanitas watched the fairy tale gang struggle with his pets. Vanitas did not alter his appearance still wearing the same lion like mask he had sense his absorption of Cerberus.
"Did they come?" said an approaching figure. She wore crimson red jagged armor with her face being covered by a plain red mask.
"Yes Scarlet, just like Pan said they would" Vanitas said.
"Where is the one we need?" Scarlet asked.
Vanitas looked over the five, but none fit the description of the man Pan told him of. Felix walked towards them; he looked at the platoon struggling and chuckled. "Unfortunately, he is not amongst them. But he is here" the darkling said.
"How do you know?" Vanitas asked.
"I have encountered him in the forest; I gave him something of past sentiment. Let's let his emotions fester for a while that way when we use him his magic will be ripe" Felix said. Felix then took one last look at the platoon fighting in the distance, "It's a pity, the boy there looking for is not even here. They are wasting their time."

Dexter, Orochimaru, Vexen and Zexion occupied the lab, working on various projects. A dark portal emerged in the middle of the room from it came Naruto. "Dexter, our superior says you may continue your research as you wish."
Dexter wore a callous smirk; he looked at his fellow scientists who were equally as excited as he. "Now then, where should we begin?"
Naruto continued, "However… only you and Zexion will be conducting such research. Orochimaru and Vexen have been called to accompany me on our new mission" Naruto said.
"What has our superior assigned us with" Vexen asked.
"The capture of the hellion beast leviathan and the destruction of Atlantica" Naruto said. Naruto then brought his attention to Zexion. "How is our friend doing?" he asked.
"He has been developing quite well; he is ready for use, however… I am in need of the other 8" Zexion said.
"What for?" Naruto asked.
"If we do find new worlds, I wish to use their massive power to eliminate any opposition. I am not sure of the properties or threats of these supposed new lands. I would like to be prepared in case there is a power there that eclipse ours" Zexion said.
"Ok" Nauto said taking 8 cards out of his pocket. "Tailed beast one through eight packed and ready to go. Along with our friend, you should have all the power you need" Naruto said.
Zexion took the cards smiling evilly.
"Zexion, we depart now, let us search the worlds and see what we find" Dexter said.
"I know exactly where to start" Zexion said.
"Where?" Dexter asked.
"The Keyblade Graveyard, home of the Lingering Sentiment"

To be continued…
AN: The Once Upon a Time characters will not be here long. They will be in the story for probably five more chapters. As for Sasuke and the heroes trying to save Naruto, it is pretty clear that Naruto is beyond saving. He is strictly an enemy along with the rest of the Organization.
I am currently working on Flawless Military concept art. I plan to draw each member of the fiendish 13 even OC with their powerups. After that I will draw concept art for the heroes. Once I am finished I will post the links in the next chapter.
