*takes a look at New Age of Darkness and Dawn of Chaos* ...Let's fix this mess, shall we?
BGM: Peach's Castle (Fortune Street)
It was another glorious day in the Mushroom Kingdom. The birds were chirping, people were going around Toad Town, singing, dancing, laughing, shopping at Coconut Mall and other stores and what have you. At Kai's Castle, things were about the same over there as well. Queen Kai had invited her girlfriends over to hang out and catch up as they were out in the courtyard.
Kai was sipping on wine and giggling at Flare talking about her new book, Maria was leaning on a chair, Tristina and Hina were chatting and Julia was listening to it all while crocheting another doll. There was one other girl that was sitting next to the queen. She had brunette hair that went to her shoulders and was wearing a purple crop top and short shorts, while looking mighty buff to boot. She also had blue eyes. This was Parvati Skullhunter, the daughter of Flash and Camilla.
She had came to the Mushroom Kingdom to make new friends at the request of her father, and became friends with Anastasia, Xinah, Katie, Aki, Yoshiko, and a few others as she had became their medic whenever they traveled together, while also taking a shining to the queen herself. To say that Kai and Parvati were really close was an understatement.

Kai let out a relaxed sigh as her eyes drifted down to her arms. Her smile slowly drifted as she put her wine glass on the table and slowly removed her gloves. There were some very faint scars on her arms. She flashbacked to when things went horribly wrong after they took care of Pain in Konoha while fighting the Legion of Darkness while trying to save their parents. Kidnapped by Voldemort and his Death Eaters, tortured by Kyoka… and then they were unknowingly haunted by Medusa's magic, giving them thoughts that they weren't as strong as they had believed themselves. They had believed that they were weak. That they were pathetic. That they were monsters after beating the living crap out of Rei Ryghts. That they believed that they weren't strong enough to save their parents. All of them were hit hard… but Medusa's influence had hit Kai the hardest.
In order to relieve herself from the mental trauma, she had used her Keyblade to deliberately cut herself on the arms just to try to get away from the pain. She had done this several times to herself until she she and Maria had a little pep talk from the Avengers. The pain may be gone, but the scars were still there… faintly, but they were still haunting Kai's arms. She recalled one time when Anastasia and Marco had asked her about her arms, but she immediately changed the subject. Parvati had noticed these scars a few times, but never gotten around to ask the queen why. Kai had distinctly remembered that someone nearby called her suicidal after she was back to normal. She couldn't tell who it was, but she had a sneaking suspicion it was Deadpool.
Parvati caught her staring at her arms again and opened her mouth to try and say something… when her phone started to ring. She looked at the Caller ID and saw that it was from Flash, her father. She knew she had to take this and looked to the queen. "Excuse me, I gotta take this… if you don't mind."
"Not at all." Kai smiled sweetly at her as Parvati walked off a few feet away to not disturb the women.
BGM: Scent of Silence (Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories)
"Do you think our lives would have been different if we weren't tortured?" Flare suddenly asked, having caught Kai staring at her arms again. "I mean, just think about it for a second. We wouldn't have had changes of personality or any of that… not to mention we wouldn't have the wild idea to cheat on our guys… twice!"
"Well… to be honest with you, I wouldn't have minded that." Maria said. "Especially when we went to Gamindustry to try and kill Rei… and got distracted by making out with the goddesses." She sighed. "To be honest? Even though I adopted Peashy as my daughter, I still can't get over the fact that I… you know…" She sighed. "Cuddling with her just feels so wrong and… the two of us have been so distant, it just breaks my heart seeing Peashy so alone."
"Our relationships with the goddesses are definitely really distant." Hina said. "I know it was their Ultra Dimension counterparts that we made out with… and then there was me and Noire… doing it, all because I was wanting to not think of all the pain I had… but the other ones, the Hyper Dimension ones, or as I call them, the "real" ones… sure, we're friends with them, but that doesn't take away the memories we had with them. I think they're aware of what had happened in the Ultra Dimension and they don't want to bring it up to try and not bring up bad memories." She sighed. "Still… we're good friends with them, but I wish we weren't so distant."
Julia let out a sigh. "I never wanted to tell Nan… but what had happened to him, with the Chaos Kin in the Alternate Skyworld and sacrificing himself along with Kirk in the Enterprise… it really took a toll on me. I get nightmares every so often that I wake up crying. Nan always asked what's wrong but I never had the heart to tell him. I didn't want him to worry."
Tristina sighed. "Well, we're just a big ol' mess, aren't we? We moved on, but the memories still haunt us."
"Just wish we could take it all back." Kai quietly said.

With Parvati…
Parvati had overheard their conversation and frowned. She wanted to help them but she didn't know what to do. "…Hello, Parvati? Earth to daughter!"
"Huh? Oh sorry father… I couldn't help but overhear the girl's pasts… I just wish I could do something to make 'em feel better."
"Heh! This is a perfect opportunity for you to help then!"
"What do you mean?"
"How would you like to change the course of history?" Flash asked as Parvati's eyes widened in shock.
"Wh-what?!"
"You heard me. Report to the Hideout right away, and bring Rye with you too. I'm here with Professor Jacob who is looking to fix the past."
"Fix the past…" Parvati whispered, looking at her friends being all gloomy while they talked. "…Where are you going with this?"
"I'll explain once you get here."
"Okay. Love you." Parvati said and hung up. She had a sneaking suspicion that it had something to do with her friends nearby. Talking about their horrid painful past? Flash and this Professor Jacob wanting to fix the past? This couldn't be a coincidence. She walked over to them. "Sorry girls, I gotta go. Father needs me right away… something about 'changing the course of history'."
Kai immediately snapped out of her gloominess and looked at Parvati. "Wh-what? Changing the course of history?" She asked, immediately setting her wine glass, still half-full, on the table. She was looking mighty intrigued.
"Huh! Look at that, the queen set her wine down and it's still half full! That's a first." Hina teased.
"Something caught my attention." Kai giggled.
"He didn't give me any details, though. He told me to grab Rye and meet him there at the hideout."
Now it was Julia's turn to get curious. "Do you want us to come with you?"
"If we need you, I'll get a portal for you, okay?"
"Okay." Kai nodded, as Parvati hugged the queen tightly as Kai returned the hugging, planting a gentle kiss on her cheek. "Be safe, alright?"
"I will." Parvati winked, waving goodbye to them and headed out as the girls looked at each other and wondered what Flash was up to… and then Kai looked back down on her arms, sighing once again.
"Ya know… had I known that deliberately cutting yourself was a sign of suicide, I wouldn't have gone through with it…" She muttered.
(Just a quick Author's Note here: I'm still kicking myself for unknowingly making Kai suicidal a few years ago. I didn't know that, at the time, deliberately cutting yourself was a sign of suicide… I thought that's what some people did when they were depressed… to get away from the mental pain. I wouldn't have gone through with it if I had known it was signs of suicide. Anyway, back to the story!)
At the Hideout…
Parvati walked out of the portal along with Rye. Rye, also known as Rylee Willows, has short, raven black hair and dull light brown eyes. She wears a dark purple magician's swallowtail coat over a black t-shirt with red dice decals on the chest, worn blue jeans, and light brown shin high leather riding boots. On her hands are a pair of silver rings with onyx gemstones, and around her neck is a crimson red scarf that reaches down to her stomach and doubles as a hood.
Compared to her friends who stand at 5'9-6'3, she stands at 5'5. Her taller friends lovingly call her a cute little cinnamon roll, and she rolls with it with a happy go lucky smile.
Anyway, Parvati looked around in The Hideout, which was her place of birth. She wound find Subaki casually chilling in the foyer. "Hey Subaki, do you know where father is?"
"He's in the conference room." Subaki responded.
"Good, that's where we're headed." Parvati smiled as they walked into the conference room where they had seen Flash and Professor Jacob in his wheelchair.
"So anyway, that's Parvati, my daughter. The other is one of her friends." Flash told him. "Glad you could make it."
BGM: It Began With a Letter (Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMix)
"It was the least I could do despite retiring from adventures to be with my wife, Touka. I managed to convince Dialga to make this one exception in order to set things right… even Sabrina and Riku, my adoptive parents, gave their full support. I told them be prepared for any changes that might happen and once done… it cannot be undone."
"So we have one shot at this…" Flash mused.
"Okay, what is this about?" Parvati asked.
"Parvati, this is one of the people I had adventured with in the past. This is Professor Jacob. He is going to be the one to help us go back in time to set things right."
"Nice to meet you." Professor Jacob smiled.
"Likewise." Parvati said, as the two shook hands. "I'm Parvati Skullhunter."
"Hey there professor, I'm Rye! I'm a fearsome practitioner of magic! …And baking." She added, giggling a bit.
Professor Jacob chuckled. "You definitely look fearsome. I'm quaking in my boots." He said as Rye's eyes sparkled a bit and looked proud of herself. "So, anyway, as you know, I am Professor Jacob, a time traveler who had escaped from the Malevolent Seven. I am a part of Sabrina's family and also retired, along with my wife and two daughters."
"Well met. So, I imagine this has something to do with what Kai and her friends were saying earlier?" Parvati asked.
"Correct!" Flash smiled.
Called it. Parvati thought with a smirk. "Alright… so what part of the trauma are we fixing?" She asked as Flash gave her the nutshell version of what had happened during the events of New Age of Darkness and Dawn of Chaos. "…Okay, yeah, we're fixing that mess today."
"And I'm gonna help too!" Rye chimed in. "…So, what's the plan?"
"We've been hard at work this morning getting everything set up." Flash explained. "Parv, your mom and Ibuki have been making us disguises that'll make us indistinguishable, Jacob has masks that'll hide our identities and voices, and we're going to be referring to ourselves as code names a la Reservoir Dogs, but the main goal is to zip in, prevent the root cause of the trauma from happening, zip out, and boom. Better timeline."
"They are called ID Masks, they can change one's appearance, turn them invisible, and copy objects. However, The image produced by the ID Masks can be momentarily disrupted by flashes of lightning. They can also break and stop producing an image, exposing the wearer. So we have to be careful if we do this." Jacob warned.
"Gotcha, so protect the face." Parvati nodded. "Oh, by the way, the girls wanted to know if they could come along."
Flash rubbed his chin thoughtfully. "Well, since we're going to be hiding our identities, I don't see why we can't invite one of them. That sound good, Jacob?"
"Indeed. Who do you have in mind?" Jacob asked. "Anastasia, Xinah… Katie… any of your friends around your age?"
"Actually, I have someone better in mind." Parvati smiled as she started texting her. "Opening a portal to the Hideout now. Meet us in the Conference Room."
"Understood."
Parvati opened up a portal to the conference room, and then Kai had walked inside. "Oh! Professor Jacob!" She exclaimed once the portal closed. "It's been ages!" She smiled, doing a queenly curtsy bow as she let out a giggle. "Sorry, force of habit."
Jacob laughed. "No need to apologize, but it has certainly been a long time. I rarely ever see you guys with the exception of Rose, Maria Jr, their kids, Mata Nui and Click… oh and Deadpool."
"You don't see Sabrina that often, huh?"
"Sadly, no. She's too busy relaxing in Alola." He chuckled. "Can't say I blame her."
End BGM
Flash had filled Kai in on the plan. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I need to grab Old Scratch for something." He said and walked off, then Kai turned to see Parvati and Rye, the latter looking a bit sad. Rye, like Parvati, had taken a shining to Kai when they had first met and would often snuggle with the queen.
BGM: Friends in My Heart (Kingdom Hearts II)
"Kai, neither of us had any idea that you went through that… let alone what you did to your arms. Adventuring is scary business, huh?"
Kai sighed. "To be honest, I never wanted to alarm you both… but I suppose it was a matter of time before one of you asked me about the scars on my arms."
"I wanted to say something… but, I didn't want to open any old wounds…" Parvati admitted. "They do look rather faint though… they must have done a great job of healing." She noted while Rye gave Kai a big ol' hug, smothering herself in her chest while nuzzling against her.
"That's why we're going to fix it… and if those scars are gone, we'll know the plan worked."
Kai smiled sweetly at the two and then wrapped her arms around Rye while bringing in Parvati for a hug as well. "Thank you… the both of you." She gently said with a smile, gently kissing them both on the forehead.
"Some wounds never fully heal, but we have one shot at doing this." Jacob responded.
"Yeah, we do." Kai nodded, releasing the hug on her friends and then hugged Jacob who had hugged back in return, then they parted.
"Remember that, when we do this… we cannot go back again and must accept the changes that will happen. We are not gods… we just have been given extraordinary gifts." Jacob said as they nodded. "This is your only chance to back out… I would not blame you if you backed out. Time traveling is risky business."
End BGM
Kai took a deep breath and exhaled. "You know what? To hell with backing out. This is our one shot to turn things around and get rid of all this agonizing pain that we've been dealing with, even if we moved on. I'm staying… and that's final."
"Me too!" Parvati nodded.
"Count me in!" Rye grinned.
"Plus, we have gotten stronger over the years, including my powers with the Unversed. This is our only chance to get our lives back in order." Kai added.
Jacob chuckled. "I had a feeling you'd say that. Plus, you may regain other things that you have lost or have been removed." He said as they turned to the source of footsteps. They would see Flash and an undead witchdoctor approaching them.
"Alright, once Ibuki and Camilla give us the disguises, Rye, I'm gonna need you and Scratch to cast an enchantment on us."
Rye raised an eyebrow. "What enchantment? Also, who's that?"
"I an' I be Old Scratch, one of de oldest members of de Vagabonds. I be responsible for Captain my Captain's child being able to see de dead."
Whoa… Kai thought to herself.
"So...what enchantment do you need?" Rye asked.
"Captain my Captain wants us to cast a spell to prevent de others in de past from seeing the weapons you be using." Old Scratch explained. "You can do that, yes?"
"Of course I can!" Rye boldly exclaimed. And not a moment too soon, once Camilla and Ibuki showed up with the disguises for the five of them.
"Hi hi hi! Disguise delivery~!" Ibuki greeted.
The disguises in question consisted of a slate gray bodysuit base garment with built in gloves and boots, and over it they would wear a black hooded cloak that reached all the way down to their boots. It would give an Organization XIII feel, except it was devoid of any identifying insignia. "Oooh!" Kai said with intrigue. "I like the looks of this!"
"This should make our task easy and simple." Jacob smiled.
"That's what Ibuki was going for." The musician grinned, delivering a peace sign with a dorky smile.
"Happy to help darlings." Camilla smiled. "Now go get changed."
With a nod, the others went to get changed, though Professor Jacob needed some help considering he was in a wheelchair. Once they were dressed in their disguises and were ready to roll, Flash would look to Rye and Old Scratch. "You two ready?"
"Let us work our art," The witchdoctor would answer. Both with a collective nod, they started to do the enchantment, which would keep any sort of identifying characteristics of their weapons hidden.
"It'll hold, right?" Parvati asked.
"Have faith in me mojo, Parvati." Old Scratch assured.
"Last thing, code names. Mr. Red is me, Miss Violet is Parvati, Miss Green is Rye…" Flash added. "You two can pick whatever color you want."
"Miss Purple." Kai responded.
"Mr. Black." Jacob said.
"Going for a Men in Black reference, eh?" Kai teased as Jacob let out a chuckle, as did Flash.
"Alright, Mr. Black. Our masks!" Flash requested as Professor Jacob proceeded to give them the masks. Once they put them on, they would see that it would indeed work. "Perfect. All that's left is Celebi to take us there..."
"What should we do, Capa?" Camilla would ask.
"You three stay here and monitor the situation from here." Flash requested. They gave a nod, with Ibuki giving a salute.
BGM: Departure to the Front Lines (Naruto Shippuden) (Start at 1:39)
"Alright, are we all ready? I will call out Celebi and he will take us to the time where all hell broke loose." Jacob said as everyone nodded.
"Ready to go!" Parvati exclaimed.
"Let's make some magic happen!" Rye declared.
"Time to make things right." Flash spoke. "For glory!"
"For a better future!" Jacob exclaimed.
"For relief!" Kai declared.
Jacob brought out his Pokeball, calling out Celebi. "Bi bi bi!" Celebi cried, opening up a time portal for them. "Bi!" He saluted
"Thanks, Celebi." Jacob said as they all walked in, or rolled in, in Professor Jacob's case.

Meanwhile… in the past, at Konoha…
"And now this world shall know pain." Pain spoke, levitating over the Hidden Leaf Village and after taking out Erza and Yuno easily. "Almighty Push."
The Time Portal opened up just near the Hidden Leaf's border just as Pain had left a massive crater in the Hidden Leaf. "Ooooh, I remember this well." Kai said, looking at the crater.
"What happened here, Miss Purple?" Rye asked.
"Well, we were fighting Pain… and then… well, that happened." Kai said. "It's a miracle that none of us were killed from that."
"Nan, Isaac and Naruto are going to show up soon, and then Laxus and Kamen Fourze summoned by Nan will come… and they will all defeat Pain." Jacob explained.
"So, how do we prevent the trauma here?" Flash asked.
"Find the root, and cut it down." Kai responded. "My gut's telling me it should be around here somewhe-" She immediately spotted her younger self getting out of the rubble. "…Holy shit, I looked so cute!" She gushed before slapping herself. "Focus!" She scolded herself.
"Focus on the job, Miss Purple." Parvati advised. "We can gush about how cute she is later."
"Right… so right now, we need to find Voldemort and drive him away before the girls got kidnapped and a bunch of other problems happen later." Jacob said.
"Right." Kai nodded. "And this is completely optional too… but we kill Bellatrix as well."
"So we gotta force Voldemort to retreat… got it, let's move." Parvati nodded.
"Let's move it." Kai agreed.
"I have a tracker." Jacob grinned. "We can easily detect where the Death Eaters are located." He said, turning on the device.
"Perfect." Kai smirked.
Meanwhile…
"Mmmph…" Bellatrix tapped her foot impatiently. "When can we strike? I'm getting impatient! That Pain guy is having all the fun!"
"Patience, Bellatrix. We will strike when the time is right." Voldemort said calmly.
"Hmph!" Bellatrix pouted a bit, folding her arms. She definitely had the look like she wanted to brutally torture someone.
Nearby…
"I see the Death Eaters." Jacob whispered as they closed in.
"I'll lead the charge with Miss Violet." Flash commented. "We've got the durability, let us frontline."
"Alright." Kai nodded.
"I will stand by and support you with my Pokemon… since well… I'm a little tied up." Jacob said, referring to his wheelchair, getting his Pokeball out.
"I'll be back here behind you two… my magic can crush them." Rye added.
"I'll be in the middle then." Kai said and then smirked. "Let's do this."
With the Death Eaters…
"We have unexpected guests…" Lucius Malfoy mused, noticing them.
"Pay them no mind, Lucius." Voldemort said.
"That's Voldemort?" Parvati whispered. "Huh… I was expecting someone taller."
Kai scowled, flashing back to when he, Bellatrix and Kyoka made their lives a living hell. "No nosed freak…" Kai muttered under her breath.
"…I swear, they are staring at us and it's bugging the hell out of me! Let's kill them!" Bellatrix hissed, feeling the staring.
Voldemort scowled and aimed his wand at the group. "Reveal yourselves to me." He ordered.
"Well, since you asked nicely…" Flash would be the first to step out. "You're not going where you hope you're going, Dark Lord."
BGM: Hesitation (Kingdom Hearts II)
"And who might you be?" Voldemort demanded.
Flash smirked. "Nunya."
"Do you have to be a smartass about it?" Parvati chuckled, stepping out next.
"Well, it's a funny retort." Flash responded as Kai was the next one to step out.
"Well, Nunya…" Voldemort began, clearly not getting the smartass remark. "I have to say that you are quite bold to be within our presence." He said as Rye and Jacob were the last ones to step/roll out.
"You think you're gonna do a bunch of bad stuff… well. I. Don't. Think so." Rye said, her gloved hands filled with mojo, which is her own magic.
"Bahahahahaha!" Bellatrix cackled. "I don't know what's more idiotic! The fact that you brought a man in the wheelchair or a little girl!" She taunted. "…I call the wheelchair man! He's easy pickings!"
You'll do WHAT?! Lucius thought in horror. The last thing he wanted to do was fight a small teenager who he had thought was a small child and a disabled man in the wheelchair. He was silently cursing out Voldemort in his head.
"Oh, you think I'm helpless? How cute." Jacob smirked, tossing Noivern out of his Pokeball. "Boomburst."
"Noi! NOOOOI!" Noivern cried, unleashing Boomburst on the Death Eaters.
"Nnngh!" Lucius covered his ears.
"Gah!" Bellatrix groaned.
"Miss Green! Stay with Mr. Black! The rest of us will lead this battle!" Flash exclaimed.
"Yes sir!" Rye saluted.
End BGM
The other Death Eaters were groaning as well… while Voldemort just looked absolutely annoyed. He aimed his wand at the creature before him with a scowl. "AAAAAUUUVAAAADA KUHDAVRA!" He yelled dramatically. Kai, on instinct, quickly summoned Bwahtastrophe and got in the way, using Reflega to deflect the Avada Kedavra on some poor unfortunate Death Eaters, killing them instantly. Thanks to Rye and Scratch's magic, Voldemort had no idea that he was in the presence of a Keyblade Wielder.
BGM: Apprehension (Kingdom Hearts II)
Heh, this is why I love Keyblades. They can deflect magic like the killing curse. Jacob smirked.
Flash quickly cast Valor's Shield on himself, knowing that magic wasn't his strong suit in terms of defenses. Parvati pulled out her handguns and were ready to open fire on the Death Eaters. Normally, the medic would have rubber bullets since she refused to kill anyone but put them into submission. This time? They were loaded with lead, ready to kill while Kai summoned a few Unversed, ready to help out their master.
"Hehehehehe!" Bellatrix cackled with a wicked smile. Looks like she was ready to have some fun!
"Let's be sure there's enough of them for when they battle at Hogwarts! Can't have it be a one sided battle!" Jacob said, unsheathing his sword and bringing out a shield.
"Yeah, let them have some fun." Parvati said as they started attacking them all as some Death Eaters were either killed or badly wounded. The badly wounded quickly retreated while Lucius, not wanting to take part in this battle, quickly bailed out of there, leaving only just a few Death Eaters left that were quickly destroyed by Jacob and his Noivern. The rest had turned their attention to Voldemort and Bellatrix.
"I'll charge when I see an opening…" Flash said, waiting for an opportunity as Voldemort fired magic at Parvati and Kai, but they had dodged while Bellatrix was keeping herself busy with Jacob.
"Stop hiding behind that shield, coward!"
Voldemort aimed directly at Rye and fired magic, but she charged up a Mojo Blast and fired directly at the spell, both of the spells clashing and canceling each other out. "Now!" Rye yelled. Flash took his chance, rushing Voldemort and slashing away with a Vicious Charge - tossing his weapon up in the air, he would jump up, do a few frontflip spins and come down on the dark lord with a hard cleaving attack.
Voldemort was taken by surprise, getting knocked back and almost falling over. He would try to hit him with a point blank spell to the face, but Flash would sidestep and followed up with a quick slash to counter him. Voldemort grunted, scowling at him. Sure, only Harry would be the one to kill him, but that didn't mean that the counter still hurt like hell. He attempted to do another point blank spell at Flash, but he would blast himself backwards with Aero once he did the damage he needed, landing with a three point turn as Rye would go to take the hit to the back. She would be able to soak it like a champ since she has high resistance to magic.
The Dark Lord slammed into a tree as a result. He let out a snarl and glared at Rye, aiming his wand at her and was ready to inflict the killing curse on her. "AAAAVADAH…"
Parvati and Flash both took aim at Voldemort's wand, firing a bullet and darkness bolt at the same time. "No!" Both of them shouted as Voldemort's wand went flying off of his hands.
End BGM
Just outside the battle…
"Huh?" Younger Kai turned her head, as she couldn't help but overhear the commotion behind her. She turned around, the curiosity getting the better of her as she walked off, her friends unaware of what she was doing, as they were watching Naruto throw a Rasenshuriken at Pain.
Back with the others…
"You can't win against us…" Rye told Voldemort. "I suggest you run while you can…"
"And while you're at it, leave the Keyblade Wielders alone." Kai added.
Voldemort let out a scowl as he picked up his wand. "I must admit, I have underestimated you… but very well, I will take my leave." He said and then turned to Bellatrix while opening a portal. "Kill them." He ordered as he walked in, closing it behind him.
"Hehehehe~!" Bellatrix grinned after having pushed back Jacob. "I get to kill all of you, just how I did with Sirius Black~!" She said in a sing songy voice.
"We'll be the judges of that." Parvati said as Jacob heard something, turning his head.
"Guys, someone is coming." Jacob said.
"Hmm?" Kai turned her head… and saw her younger self approaching them.
"What the…?!" Younger Kai exclaimed. "What the hell is Bellatrix doing here?!"
"Oh no…" Kai whispered.
"Ohohoho!" Bellatrix smirked, having a good idea as she teleported (I say teleported because I can never remember the correct term in Harry Potter for the life of me.) and then reappeared behind the younger Kai, grabbing a hold of her from her neck.
"Ack!"
BGM: Tension (Persona 5)
"No!" Kai yelled.
"Oh look at this, I have a hostage~! Hehehehe~!"
"Crap, not good!" Jacob said in shock while Parvati aimed her pistols at Bellatrix.
"Let her go!" She ordered.
"Ah ah ah! You make any movements and the girl's a goner~!"
"Wh-what's going on?!" Younger Kai asked, trying to break herself free but Bellatrix held on to her tightly.
"Quiet, you!"
"We gotta fix this or else the timeline will be changed for the worst!" Jacob warned.
"I know, I'm thinking!" Parvati said, all of them unaware of Kai clenching her fists and enveloped her fists in darkness.
"What's it gonna be?" Bellatrix smirked. "Put your weapons down and I'll spare her life, or I'll kill her!"
"You'll just kill her anyway if we drop our weapons."
"Oh, you know me too well…" Bellatrix chuckled. "What's your answer? I'm waiting… and I don't like to be kept-" Suddenly a fist punched her in the cheek, sending her flying toward a tree. Kai had just sneakily summoned a Trinity Armor to the side, then the Unversed scooped her up and took her to safety while Kai raised her arm up in the air.
"DARK STORM!" She yelled, swinging her hand down. "HAH!" She yelled as dark purple lightning shot down from above and struck the witch, as she screamed in agony.
"GYAAAAAAAAH!"
"Whoa!" The Younger Kai exclaimed.
"Get out of here now, missy!" Flash told her.
"Right!" She nodded and ran off, and hid behind a tree… but she had her eyes glued to the chaos that was unfolding.
End BGM
"You… you…!" Bellatrix growled, getting up and raising her wand… but Parvati aimed his pistols and shot her as she desperately tried to block the bullets with the magic, but one bullet hit her wand and disarmed her. "Uh oh…" She whispered as Parvati proceeded to shoot her up Lara Croft style, turning the Death Eater into swiss cheese as she had fallen on her knees in defeat. She weakly looked up at them. "Who… who are you…?"
"Your executioners." Parvati responded in a cold tone as Bellatrix fell on her back, bleeding out from the wounds, too weak to try and retreat. As far as she knew, she had failed the Dark Lord. Kai snapped her fingers as a dark purple fire consumed the witch… and when the fire disappeared, there was nothing left but an outline of where she was, and some blood.
"Whoa…" The Younger Kai whispered as she walked over to them.
"Are you alright, young maiden?" Jacob asked.
"Yeah but… you're not going to execute me, are ya?" She hoped, looking a bit nervous.
"No, of course not." Kai smiled. "We're bounty hunters and she was the one on our hit list." I have to thank Xinah for taking up bounty hunting. She thought to herself and smiled at her younger self.
"Oh, okay the-" Her adult self suddenly hugged her, burying herself in her chest. "Mmph?!"
BGM: Kairi III (Kingdom Hearts)
"Miss Purple here loves to give out hugs." Rye told the younger Kai. "I can attest to that."
"Haaaaa~!" She sighed deeply. "It feels so motherly~!"
"Indeed. Let's just say our client happens to be the best mama bear." Jacob chuckled.
"That's right, and now that she's gone, we've got a bounty to collect." Flash smiled.
Kai looked at her younger self once releasing her from the hug. "What is your name?" She asked, already knowing.
"Kai." Her younger self responded. "What's yours? Miss Purple sounds like a code name for something."
"It's a secret to everyone." Kai said, ruffling up her hair.
"Aww..."
"Listen, Kai... go enjoy your life to the fullest. Don't let anything deter you or make you doubt yourself. You have a great life ahead of you. Make it count."
"I will!" Her younger self hugged her again with a smile.
"Also, tell the others to keep a close eye on Medusa." Jacob advised.
"Medusa? Hmm… come to think of it, she has been acting suspiciously." She mused. "Sure, anything else?"
Kai chuckled. "Try not to be so stubborn."
"Me? Stubborn? Pfft! Yeah right, I'm never stubborn." She smirked.
Keep telling yourself that. Kai thought while rolling her eyes. "One last thing. If you happen to visit the Mushroom Kingdom, make sure you kill all the Fuzzies right away. Trust me."
"Huh?" Her younger self tilted her head. "Uh… okay then! I'll keep that in mind."
"You'll be considered a hero, trust me." Professor Jacob chuckled. "Oh, and if you ever decide to have a daughter, be sure not to pressure her and support her decisions."
"Huh? Oddly specific… but okay! I plan on being a supportive mother anyway!"
"Good!" He smiled.
"You're destined for great things, Kai. Never lose sight of 'em." Flash mused.
"Alright Mr. Red, I think it's about time we head on back." Parvati hummed. "You'll figure it all out, Kai. Take care."
"See ya!" She waved as she ran off to go catch up on her friends… but she stopped and looked behind her. "That woman… why does that hug feel so familiar?" She wondered to herself. "…I'm probably overthinking it." She said and walked out of the forest, seeing everyone was getting ready to leave. "Holy crap, how much have I missed?!" She asked and ran over.
"Kai! Where the hell have you been?!" Flare scolded.
"I got sidetracked, no need to worry!"

"So that's what it's like to hug yourself…" Kai mused and then turned to Parvati and Rye. "No wonder you love my hugs so much."
"It's so warm and motherly!" Rye giggled.
"What she said." Parvati smiled.
"Let's head back to the present. I have a device for us to use that will let us see what has changed in the future."
"Right." Kai nodded. "Let's go."
With a nod to Celebi, he opened up the time portal back to their future as they had walked inside, heading back into the future. "Hi hi hi! How was your trip?" Ibuki asked.
"Pretty well." Kai smiled, and then had a thought enter her head when they went back to change. She immediately looked at her arms in front of the others… and saw that there no scars on her arms. "…It… it worked!" She whispered, tearing up as Parvati and Rye happily glomped the queen.
"So, has anything else changed?" Flash asked.
"Yes. This may be out of order, but who cares?" Jacob chuckled. "The biggest change, aside from Kai's arms having fully healed, is that you and the girls have your HDD back despite Homura destroying them. It says here Yukari brought them back when Unicron destroyed the Citadel of Light. So basically, you have your HDD and Next Forms back, as do Sabrina, Aria, Xarina and Sarah."
"We do?" Kai asked and tried it out, transforming into Unversed Heart. "Holy shit! We do!" She exclaimed, and went into Next Unversed before turning back to normal.
"Whoa…" Parvati whispered.
"Hey, you got it back!" Camilla smiled sweetly.
"Yes, and also, according to this, when you went to Gamindustri, you never cheated on your boys with the Neptunia girls. You became close and best friends, but that's it." He said. "So, now you hung out with their Hyperdimension counterparts a whole lot more now. As we speak, Peashy and Maria are really close and do everything together. She even took up blacksmithing with her adoptive mother!"
"Aww!" Kai smiled.
"Oh, and since Julia hung out with Plutia often, she had never dropped the dominatrix act. Because of that, she had rubbed off on Katie and Brooklyn and they became doms themselves… though not as extreme as Jules. Though, one could say Katie and Brooklyn were just punking everyone." He said.
"Oh, so as a joke?" Kai laughed. "Sounds like them... anything else?"
"Because of what we did, you guys never went to Hogwarts. You simply jumped over to Gamindustri as a result. You guys were never tortured and your enemies had feared you. Oh, and Medusa had been caught earlier and was thrown in the Underworld with her arms and legs cut off."
"Heh… and what about Isaac and Nan?"
"Their deaths have been averted… but sadly, the Chaos Kin had still got them, but thanks to you, they were able to get over it much more quickly, with the help from your Palutena. You guys also never went to Endor and fought Palpatine, Vader and every Storm Trooper ever."
"Aww, I liked hanging out with Ahsoka." Kai pouted a bit. "Oh well."
"Because of the drama that never happened, Alicia had stayed permanently at the Citadel of Light and she and Flash had a key role in rescuing your parents. It turns out, Rei had thought it'd be a good idea to bring your mothers over to Gamindustri and put 'em in different areas. Sabrina was the last one to be rescued. Your fathers were held hostage by Deathwing in Gensokyo… and speaking of Gensokyo, the invasion still happened but it was a massive Heartless invasion instead. Koba never came over to brainwash you."
"Good! Damned dirty ape…" Kai grumbled.
"Oohrah!" Flash cheered.
"Hina also defeated the Meta in Gensokyo and took her Keyblade back, but Sheila was still with him. They still defeated him in Reach and Hina still got her eye taken out… but instead of attacking Meta in fury, she took a hit that was meant for Master Chief. She still fought him during Marisa and Dante's wedding when he came back as a Heartless, but he took her to Popstar while the Haltmann Works Company had invaded. They had a final battle over at Overload Ocean where Hina dealt the final blow. She even said she respects the Meta and told him she's done fighting him. Meta disappeared right after that."
"Dang…" Kai mused.
"Oh, and Alicia and Flash dealt the final blow to Frieza in a spectacular fashion."
In the past…
"You imbeciles! I'll destroy all of you!" Frieza yelled, summoning a massive fireball and threw it down at them, but Flash and Alicia had jumped in and interlocked their Keyblades as the fireball hit them, but with their Keyblades, they quickly deflected the fireball back at Frieza. "Gaaaah!"
"Alicia! Let's do it!"
"Right!" Alicia nodded as Flash ran over and slashed Frieza repeatedly and then used a Dark Blizzaga attack that knocked him back… and then he knelt down and gave Alicia a boost as she leaped off of Flash's back and was right in front of Frieza. "Omae wa mo shinderu!"
"What?!" Frieza exclaimed as Alicia swung her Keyblade a few times and then landed… while Frieza exploded into pieces.
"Heh. I've always wanted to say that." She said and dismissed it, turning to the others. "You're welcome."
In the present…
"Because of their efforts, Alicia is now part of Flash's crew and is married to Leo and have a few kids. They're currently out on a date." Jacob said.
"…Oh my!" Kai said. "Go them! So… did the Malevolent Seven still happen?"
"Yes, but thankfully the trauma has been lessened. Some other moments include that Isaac and Samus never were at each other's throats, but she decided to take a break and went off to bounty hunt while Tristina and Abby were comforting Isaac. She came back to help out Isaac with Anti-Isaac. The Dragon Rex had been changed into a baby Indominus Rex while the Indoraptor had been turned into a Legion Beast, but Maria Jr was able to tame it and is now her pet. You can thank Dyntos for that."
"Sweet!"
"You also never went to the Fast and Furious world, you've never been on the Enterprise… oh, and some of you never went into the Datascape to retrieve J.A.R.V.I.S. for Tony Stark and Banner. That never happened. Because of that, Sun, Neptune, JNPR, Master Chief and the Reds and Blues showed up in the Avengers world instead, as did the rest of RWBY. Tex never merged with Hina, Marisa never requested Hina to call her mistress."
"Oh thank goodness! I thought that was way out of character for Marisa." Kai giggled.
"Alex never dated Victor."
"Who?"
"Exactly." Jacob chuckled. "Alex was still revived by Arthas in Amestris, looks like that hadn't changed much… but you know what did?"
"What is it?"
"You know how King Arthur offered Nan to be king of Camelot?"
"Yeah?"
"Instead of refusing, Nan took up the offer and he actually spared Arthur during their duel, but… Nan had something special in mind." Jacob smirked. "He wanted to be close to his friends, so when Dry Bowser had been defeated, Nan decided to remodel the Undead Kingdom and turned it into New Camelot. He even redecorated Dry Bowser into his personal throne, and Merlina duplicated the throne for Julia. New Camelot had prospered and Merlina, Gawain, Lancelot and Percival live in the castle as King Arthur had been turned back to normal and had become Nan and Julia's personal advisor. In New Camelot, Julia set up her doll shop and Neo set up Neo's Neo at New Camelot, but she had expanded to Toad Town."
"…Holy shit…" Kai whispered. "You mean to tell me that… Nan and Julia are now royalty… AND Katie and Brooklyn?!"
"That's correct!" Jacob grinned. "Oh! And Roman Torchwick was spared as well and he currently lives in New Camelot as well. He has given up his life of crime."
"So uh… Neo and Roman wouldn't happen to be…?"
"Oh goodness no! They remained good friends."
"Oh! Okay then. Who are the residents in New Camelot?"
"It mostly consists of Dry Bones, humans, Koopas, and a few Goombas, but it had become a good tourist destination along with Toad Town."
Kai whistled. "Not bad!"
"Yeah, and also, you and Anastasia never butted heads. She was interested in the Keyblade, but didn't want that responsibility. When she turned thirteen, she decided to rebel for a different reason. She wanted to make a name for herself since Toad Town's residents were pressuring her to be "just like Mario", so she rebelled against the people… but you were there to support her. She still went on adventures and was still her rebellious self, but she had become very close to you."
Kai smiled, a tear running down her cheek. "That makes me so happy… what about me and the Fuzzies?"
"It took you a week after you were coronated. You were trying to find the root of the problem and then you started the massacre. Pink Gold Peach didn't even know what hit her… and was turned into that hammer that you currently have."
"Took me a week? Better than five years!" Kai laughed. "Is that it?"
"Oh, almost forgot. Rose was never told she was immortal at the age of five. She was told this on her thirteenth birthday by the alternate Palutena. She was more accepting of it and she and Sabrina weren't really depressed at all. Because of that, Sabrina had a minor case of Empty Nest Syndrome… she was depressed but not as bad. Oh, and Maria Jr and Light were never killed by Necrosan. Palutena had turned Light into an angel when he was around fourteen. Rosa and N were surprised by this, but they fully supported their son being an angel."
"That's good! Anything else?"
"Some minor things like Tristina having wolf ears and a tail after going into her Primal Wolf form a lot and Flare gaining Dragon Wings and a Tail in her dragon form."
"Oh, so Tristina is part wolf now?" Kai asked.
"Yes. She doesn't really mind it though. Neither does Flare with her dragon tail."
Kai giggled. "Alright then!" She smiled. "Well… after hearing all that, I deserve some relaxation." She said and turned to Parvati and Rye. "Come on you two, let's go soak in the hot tub."
"Yeah!" Both girls nodded as Parvati made a portal back to her home and then the three of them walked in.
"I don't know about you… but that was a job well done." Flash said.
"It sure was." Camilla smiled, the two of them sharing a kiss before they walked off.
In the hot tub…
BGM: At Dusk, I Will Think of You (Kingdom Hearts: 358/2 Days)
"Aaaah… just what I needed." Kai smiled, her arms wrapped around Parvati and Rye as they were cuddling with the queen. "…Hmm…"
"What is it?" Parvati asked.
"I don't know why… but I'm wondering if anything… insane or bad had happened after we fixed things up." Kai said.
"Eh… I'm sure nothing bad had happened… if it did, we would've known about it." Parvati said.
"True enough." Kai nodded as Rye nuzzled against her

"Link! What the heck are you doing?" Zelda asked.
"I'm growing a pot farm!" Link said, digging pots into the ground.
"But… you like breaking pots!"
"I wanted to try something new!"
Zelda sweatdropped. "Oh boy…"
Deadpool walked along the game store. "Let's see… what would Sabrina like…" He mused and then spotted something. "Oh hello, when did this happen?" He asked as he smirked devillishly and ran off while paying for it, running back to Sabrina's house in Alola as she and Minene were killing each other in Mortal Kombat. "Hey Sabrina! I have a brand new game for ya!"
"Oh? What is it?" Sabrina asked as Deadpool tossed the game over on the couch as they took a closer look. "WHAT THE HELL?! HOTEL MARIO DX FOR THE SWITCH?!"
"You're welcome~!"
"When did this happen?!" Minene asked.
"I… I have no idea…"
"Come on! Is that the best you got!" Noire taunted after evading Thwomps, Podoboos, Piranha Plants and other enemies and hazards in Flare and Blanc's personal Mario Maker course.
"…Uh… I thought she had bad luck?" Flare asked, completely dumbfounded.
"This is… weird…" Blanc whispered.
"Come on! I can do this all day!"
"Introducing the first Fighter's Pass!" Master Hand called out, pulling back a curtain to reveal the Smash characters. Crash Bandicoot had replaced Joker, Mai Shiranui had replaced Terry Bogard, and while Byleth remained the same, she was accompanied by Camilla. The two were basically the Fire Emblem version of the Ice Climbers, except they were far different than the climbers. Those two switch out similar to Pokemon Trainer. Luminary and Banjo & Kazooie were unchanged.
"OH COME ON! TWO FIRE EMBLEM REPS?!" A Mii yelled.
"BOOOOO!"
"…I told you they'd hate it." Master Hand said.
"Oh, I love the salt!" Crazy Hand chuckled.

Resume At Dusk, I Will Think of You BGM
"Yeah, it's probably nothing." Kai chuckled.
"Mhm! Let's just not worry about it." Parvati smiled as the three of them relaxed in the hot tub.
Hmm… I wonder what it was like to live such a life in this new timeline? Hmm, oh well, I bet it was a blast. Kai thought as she closed her eyes and relaxed.
KINGDOM HEARTS: NEW BEGINNINGS
Hellooooo~! Weren't expecting this, were you? Well, I may have forgiven Jacob for what he done in New Age and Dawn of Chaos, but I was still... angry with him and I would often lash out at him, like I still wasn't letting go of what had happened to my beloved KH stories. (I will admit that I will take some of the blame because I hadn't stopped him earlier.) But one day on Discord, Flash wanted to know the whole story since he had joined during the middle of the FMAB arc, so he didn't know what was going on.
The next day, Flash decided to make things right and approached me and Jacob if I wanted to do something to fix it. I was adamant at first because I didn't want to do a remake of New Age or Dawn of Chaos, nor did I want to have Celebi fix it... but the more I thought about it, the more I thought "I want to do this. I want to fix this." and so, we collabbed together and made this!
I can safely say... that I can now look at my KH stories right in the eye and go "So, wanna do more shenanigans together?" and that's what i'm gonna do! We fixed it, and now I want to continue doing stuff with it! So, next story will be KH: New Beginnings where we will explore the changes that had happened! From roleplays that a friend and I did, with original shenanigans by me... it will be great!
Though, with a lot on my plate right now regarding RWBY and my Touhou remakes, this will be more of a Side Project along with my Vs the Mercs redux so updates may be irregular at first, but they will be updated more frequently after my remakes are done.
Take care, y'all!
EDIT: One of my friends pointed it out that it was a biiiit OOC for the sisters and I was like "Shoot! You're right!" so I fixed it up where Katie and Brooklyn were just punking everyone. Those two ain't doms.
