Jacques Schnee, you have summoned the thunder! I am not just going to destroy you; I am going to grant you the greatest humiliation you will ever know. *Laughs like a psychotic person*

Chapter 70

Everyone gathered in the old wizard's study. It was finally time to receive answers about the organization and Xehanort.

"Since time and memorial, keyblade wielders had protected the world from darkness," Yen Sid began his tale, "The Keyblade chooses their master, or one who is already a master, can pass their power onto another."

"Wait," Yang said, "So Sora can give someone the power to wield a keyblade?"

Everyone then looked at Sora and he started to feel a little uncomfortable.

"Sora," Weiss magically appeared next to Sora and batted her eyes. Sora's face turned red as Weiss leaned in, "It would be sweet of you to give me a weapon, that can help me defend myself when you aren't around."

"Um… I… um…" Sora was mush mouth, until Fern grabbed Weiss's ponytail and pulled her away.

"Don't use your feminine wiles to confuse Sora. Besides our weapons are good enough."

"As I was saying," Yen Sid continued, "Masters would train their apprentices, to train them to defend the world. When it was time for the apprentice to achieve the status of master, the Master would put them through the Mark of Mastery. It was during such a test where our story began. Far away on another world, three apprentices; Terra, Ventus, and Aqua lived. Terra and Aqua took their test, but only Aqua passed. It was then Xehanort went to Remnant. On Remnant were the twenty shards, used to created the X-blade, and the seven princesses of heart."

Blake and Weiss looked at each other.

"He brought the heartless to Remnant to take them by force. So Terra, Ventus, and Aqua went to Remnant to stop them."

"That's around the time we met them," Qrow decided to take over, "The problem was, they didn't arrive all at the same time, I never Ventus. I met Terra in Vale, and when we learned that Xehanort went to Atlas, he left on his own, and that's where I met Aqua. Winter, who was still a student at the time also got involved."

"She did?" Weiss asked.

"Winter, was almost taken down by a bunch of heartless. Then Aqua swooped in and saved her. After that she followed Aqua around for a while. We were on our way to the vault when a swarm of heartless were closing in on Atlas."

"I don't remember this," Weiss said.

"Ironwood managed to keep the attack a secret, but we still had to go a defend the perimeter, while Aqua went to end things with Xehanort, once and for all. It was hard, we managed to hold them off. We didn't win, they just vanished, on their own. I knew that meant Aqua had won, but when we went to look for her and her friends, they were no where to be seen. We searched for months."

"Ozpin reached out to me," Yen Sid added, "And I confirmed that they never returned to from their fight."

Everyone felt disheartened.

"So what does this have to do with the Organization?"

"Shortly after the big fight, one of our scientist took in a young man, an amnesiac who could only remember one word, Xehanort," Qrow said.

"What?" Sora asked.

"Let me guess," Fern said, "This scientist was Ansem, the real one, not the one we've been fighting."

"Yep," Qrow said, "We were all suspicious, but the real Ansem said he'd take responsibility for him. We didn't know how big a mistake that was. People began to disappear from Mantle and Atlas, and when we finally realized they were abducted by Ansem's apprentice it was too late. The lab exploded and the fire happened. We assumed everyone died, until the Organization surfaced; being led by Ansem's 'deceased' apprentices."

"So who was that guy?" Ruby asked, "Xehanort's apprentice?"

"He's somehow connected to him," Qrow said we know that much, "There's another thing that should probably be mentioned. Xehanort's keyblade," Qrow looked at Oscar, "It was Luxu's."

"What?" Yang's eyes turned red.

"I didn't know until Jin showed us."

"Okay, everyone, lets calm down," Heather said, "We're not blaming everything on Ozpin. We have to focus on stopping Salem and the Organization, and Xehanort if he's still around."

"We definetaly need to get to Atlas, this seems to have started there," Riku suggested.

"We also need to figure out how to get Riku's keyblade working," Sora said, "If we have more real keyblade wielders, the better."

"Yeah," Ruby said leaning in, "Since we agree, and you can give people the power to-…"

"Nope," Weiss grabbed Ruby and dragged her away. If she wasn't getting a keyblade from her boyfriend, then neither was Ruby.

"Don't worry," Mickey said, "We'll help you."

"That's nice of you, but, how about you wait out here first?" Blake suggested.

"Why?" Goofy asked.

"We need to get to Atlas first," Blake explained, "They closed the border and it will be harder to get in larger group than the one we already have."

"I guess that makes sense," Mickey then pulled out a device. It looked like an old Scroll. A touch screen not a hard light hologram model, "This is a gummiphone, this will let you contact us, when you get there."

Ruby accepted the gummiphone.

Everyone decided to rest in the tower for a while before moving on. Riku was standing next to the window looking out at the star filled sky. Yang approached him.

An awkward silence was between them, "You know… Team JNPR's not gonna believe us when we tell them what happened."

"I'm sure they'll believe us when we show them the gummiphone."

Silence filled the air again.

"Riku… I'm sorry… I shouldn't have reacted like that, against Sora… I already apologized to him, and he was okay… but I know it doesn't make it right."

"We were all, upset," Riku admitted, "but yeah, you shouldn't punch your friends."

Yang looked down, until she felt a hand on her shoulder. She looked up, her lilac eyes meeting Riku's blue.

"We'll figure out how to beat Salem."

Yang quickly approached the window to look at the starry sky, mostly to hide her blush. Riku then spoke again.

"My team and I have been talking."

"Oh?" Yang said letting him know she was listening.

"We have two ideas; not very good yet, but ideas."

"Let's hear 'em."

"Roxas made it clear that the organization doesn't trust Salem. We think they may already know she's immortal, but have an idea to back stab her to get the X-blade. The first idea is to find them and steal their plan."

"Sounds lofty, what's the other one?"

"Sora wants to use the relic of creation to make a prison strong enough to hold Salem forever. If we can't kill her, the next best thing is to imprison her," Riku said.

"That actually sounds smart," Yang said, "Are you sure, Sora came up with it?"

The two laughed. Yang saw something on the ground. She looked then took a frightened step back.

"Yang?" Riku quickly grabbed her shoulders to steady her. He looked outside to see… nothing.

Yang took in a breath, "I'm fine… I just…" Yang looked down at her mechanical arm.

Riku gently held it, "Does it… bother you… that you… can't feel…" Riku decided to stop. He didn't even know if it was appropriate to ask. He was never good with these sorts of things.

"It did, at first," Yang admitted.

"Adam is still out there," Riku remembered bitterly. He didn't need to see him to know that. Adam was too stubborn to die in the wild.

"He'll probably go after Blake," Yang said worried.

"We'll protect her," Riku assured, "Not just because she's a princess. She's our friend." Riku laced his fingers through the mechanical digits. Yang saw that. She felt a blush coming on when.

"Guys, time to go!" Heather slammed open the door.

Yang quickly took her hand back and began to walk, "Yeah let's go, we really need to go," she said a little too quickly as she walked away. Her face was burning, and even though she couldn't feel her right hand, she swore it was warm.

She walked past Weiss who was talking to Donald.

Everyone walked through the door, and the door disappeared. So everyone got back onto the trailer and Riku and Yang drove them away.

"Okay," Sora said, "We need to help Riku get his keyblade."

"I think we should also help Ruby with her eyes," Heather said.

"Me?"

"You vaporized a pack of grimm Ruby," Fern said, "That is helpful."

"It was because of Maria," Ruby pointed out. She looked at the old woman, "How did you know what to do?'

"Because," Maria looked at Ruby with her mechanical goggles.

"I had silver eyes."

I know this was short, but I feel like that was all that was needed for this chapter.

Mickey, Donald, and Goofy will join them later.

Do you know what one of my greatest KH wishes is? That the three good fairies and Edna Mode, join together to create new outfits for our heroes.

To GuestWithIdeas, if you're still reading this fic. You asked about my original book: Teeny Tiny Triceratops. It's an adventure book that has 11 chapters (I promise they're longer than the chapters on fanfiction). There is very slight violence, and mildly scary scenes. But I think it'd make a good bedtime book. If I have to put an age restriction on it I'd suggest ages 6 and older. But I'm not very good at explaining. You can check it out on Amazon.
