Thankfully this time I managed to post a new chapter without a big time gap after the last one. This one was tons of fun to make and I'm really proud of what I came up with! I hope you all enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed working on it. Also, expect something special near the end of this one!

("Rimelight - BlazBlue" starts playing)

A young dark skinned boy with short black hair is standing in an open field with a sword in hand. He spins it around before holding it firmly, he swings it at the air several times, showing an impressive display of skills for his young age. As sweat drops from his body, he manages to slice one drop of sweat with his sword. He smirks at his accomplishment.

"Kenshi! Come here, boy!" He heard a voice calling him, he widened his eyes as he sheathed his sword on his back.

"Coming, dad!" The young Kenshi screamed back before running back home. His dad was sitting on the dinner table drinking a beer while his mom was making dinner.

Kenshi's father was a tall, dark skinned, muscular man with long black hair tied in a ponytail. He had a "X" shaped scar on his cheek and was wearing a black tank top and camouflage pants.

His mother was a tall woman, also dark skinned and with a muscular body, though not as much as her husband. Her purple hair reached her neck with bangs on her forehead. She was wearing a white crop top, which showed her six pack abs, and black cargo jeans.

"You still training at this hour? It's good that you're continuing the family tradition but take it easy or you'll hurt yourself." His father told him as he drank a beer.

Kenshi chuckled while rubbing the back of his head. "I guess I can exaggerate a bit."

His mom simply smirked at that remark. "You should've seen your dad before I met him. He trained even more than you, took me three months to convince him to settle down.

Kenshi laughed at that while his father actually looked embarassed. "Atsuko! I asked you to not tell that story to the kids!" He groaned.

His wife smirked at him. "Well, Kenzou, our kids should know what their dad was like, shouldn't they?"

He groaned at her comment before sighing and then smirking too. "Well, it's not like you were any better than me."

"Nice try, honey, but the entire family was and still is obsessed with swordfighting, that's not a secret to anyone." She shot back.

"True, but I'm not the one that did it while drunk." He replied with a smirk, instantly making Kenshi's eyes widen in curiosity while Atsuko's widened in dread.

"Mom tried to swordfight drunk?" Kenshi asked his dad.

He laughed before ruffling his son's hair. "Yep! She once almost cut my head off while swinging her sword!"

The two laughed at that while Atsuko growled with a sinister smile and a vein in her head.

"Kenshi, why don't you go see your siblings? Your big sister came to visit today." She said, trying to hide her anger.

"She's here?! Cool!" He screamed excited before running off to the living room. Atsuko then approached Kenzou with a glare and crossed arms. He smirked at her.

"Don't look at me like that, I just thought the kids should know what their mom was like." He casually shrugged before taking another sip of beer.

Atsuko groaned before sighing and smiling. "Smartass." She said before leaning down and the two kissed.

Kenshi opened the door to the living room and he was met by a little girl with dark skin wearing a blue dress and black hair tied in pigtails hugging him.

"Kenshi! How was the training?!" The girl asked him with a wide eyed smile.

Kenshi smirked and ruffled her hair. "Hey, Sayuri! It was great! Are you excited to train with your big bro in the future?" He asked her with a grin.

"Yeah! And I'll kick your butt!" She smirked while pointing at him.

"Bring it on, little sis!" Kenshi smirked in return.

"How about you train with an actual swordman instead?" The two heard a voice behind them, they saw a dark skinned young man, he had a slender but muscular build and a purple hair with a left bang covering his eyes and his hair tied in a long ponytail. He was wearing a white shirt with a black jacket and blue jeans.

"Daisuke..." Kenshi groaned.

"Is that any way to greet your big bro?" Daisuke asked while ruffling Kenshi's hair in an affectionate way. Kenshi smirked at him.

"You boast but I won our last match!" Kenshi boasted, Daisuke just lightly flicked his forehead.

"I was holding back, you know that." Daisuke smirked but Kenshi gave him the tongue, making Daisuke laugh and pull Kenshi into a noogie, the two laughing.

They heard a chuckle behind them and they all saw a young woman, slightly older than Daisuke and was slightly more muscular than him too, she had a red tank top on with a white jacket and purple jeans. Her long black hair was tied in a ponytail that reached the center of her back.

"You kids changed nothing, huh?" The woman said with a smile.

"Kyouko!" Kenshi and Sayuri screamed as they jumped on her in a hug, she hugged the two back as Daisuke approached her.

"Hey, sis." He offered a fist bump but she just smirked and gave him a noogie.

"You can try the cool guy act, Daisuke, but you'll always be my little brother!" She smirked as he tried to break free of the noogie with no success. Kenshi and Sayuri laughing.

"How's your kendo dojo going, big sis?" Sayuri asked her.

Kyouko smiled as she let Daisuke go. "Really well! I got some new students today and I'm looking forward to training them!"

Kenshi smiled at that. "Hey, when I finish my training here at home, can I help you with the dojo?" He asked his big sis.

"Sure, more help is always welcome!" She smiled as she ruffled his hair.

"Kids! The dinner is ready!" They heard Atsuko's voice calling. Kenshi and Sayuri ran to the kitchen as Kyouko and Daisuke followed behind them.

They got to the kitchen and saw the dinner awaiting them. Pork chop, Chicken roast, Hamburgers, Lettuce, Broccoli, and much more. It was enough to make anyone droll.

The family sat down to eat but before they could start, Kenzou grabbed a glass of wine.

"Before we begin, a toast to our family, and once Kenshi and Sayuri finish their trainings, we'll go on a trip around the world...Together." He smiled.

They all smiled at that as they grabbed their glasses of wine (Orange juice in Kenshi and Sayuri's case) and they all drank together.

("Rimelight - BlazBlue" stops playing)

Scene cuts to present day as Kenshi is seen still knocked out, his body lying on the ground as his hand reaching upwards. His eyes shot open as he quickly stood up breathing heavily. He brought his hand to his forehead and gripped his hair while angrily closing his eyes.

"The same damn dream as always." The boy groaned before looking around where he was. It was afternoon, he saw he was on top of a mountain. He looked to the side and saw Kuruoshi sitting next to a fire with his back turned to him.

The mere sight of the man made Kenshi's blood burn with rage. He saw his sword next to him and, for some time, he considered chopping his head off right then and there, but he just growled as he stood up and walked towards the fire, sitting next to it and getting Kuruoshi's attention.

"Already awake?" The man asked him but Kenshi didn't replied, not even glaring at him. "Gotta say, I'm surprised. I figured the first thing you'd do after waking up would be chop my head off."

"That's why I didn't do it." Kenshi replied without looking at him.

Kuruoshi chuckled at that. "So, are ya done trying to kill me?" He asked the boy, who glared at him. "Guess that answers my question." He says nonlachantly.

"Lemme make this clear, I will kill you...It doesn't matter what happens, I'll cut your goddamn head off...But right now, I can see that I'm not strong enough, and I'll only end up getting myself killed if I keep trying, and no way in hell will I allow myself to die before killing you. So I will get stronger, strong enough that I will smash your face against the ground until you're dead." Kenshi said all of this in a cold and emotionless tone but the anger and killing intent was written all over his body and glare.

Kuruoshi simply stared at him with a nonchalant look before he smirked. "Get as strong as you want, boy, you'll never be strong enought to kill me. Not then and not now either."

The last comment made Kenshi's eyes widen in anger and him grit his teeth. He nearly reached for his sword sheathed in his back before stopping himself. He calmed down, his look now more one of cold rage as he continued to glare at Kuruoshi, who gave him a evil smirk in return before he stood up.

"Anyways, now that you're awake, we should continue to keep our eyes on that hunter. See if he's smart enough to accept our offer." Kuruoshi said before walking off.

Kenshi remained down for sometime before silently growling to himself and begrudgingly standing up to follow Kuruoshi.

Back with Sora, Suguru and Nakami. The spiky haired teen was running in the jungle, looking for the Ape Man while his two friends chased after him.

"I swear, once I get my hands on that idiot!" Suguru groaned.

"Y'know what? This chase has been long enough." Nakami said before she seemingly dissapeared, leaving Suguru wide eyed. Nakami then suddendly appeared above Sora. She falls on top of him, pinning him down on the floor.

"Gotcha!" Nakami smirked as Sora struggled from below her. Suguru soon catched up to the three.

"If you could do that from the start then why didn't you?!" Suguru angrily asked the girl.

Nakami stood up, holding Sora by his hood with one hand and with her other hand on her hip. "I may not be a Ninja but I wasn't gonna use my skills for something so trivial."

"Wait, you're not a Ninja, Nakami?" Sora asked her.

"Of course not, I just know Ninjutsu, but Ninjas are meant to be masters of stealth and stay hidden in the shadows, neither of which I do." She explained to the boy.

"Whatever, let's just return to the camp!" Suguru groaned.

"No way! I wanna find Tarzan!" Sora said, making Suguru growl.

What happened next surprised all of them. Suguru turned around and punched Sora in the face with enough streght to knock him down. Nakami's eyes widened in shock.

("Zetsubou - Digimon Adventure" starts playing)

"Look, we shouldn't even be in this world in the first place!" He argued.

Sora responded to that by quickly standing up and punching Suguru in return. The archer getting knocked to the ground.

"This may not be where we'll find your king but there's clearly Heartless here in this world so we're needed!" Sora argued back.

The archer growled before standing up and grabbing Sora by his shirt.

"We're needed?! We could barely win against that Stealth Sneak! We won by pure luck!"

He pushed the Keyblade wielder down. He quickly got up and rushed at Suguru, knocking him to the ground. The two rolled in the ground, ending with Sora above him. He punches the redhead in the face.

"Well, how else are we supposed to get stronger to face them if we don't fight them?!"

Sora throws another punch but Suguru catches it and uppercuts him with his other hand before they start rolling on the ground again. This time ending with Suguru above Sora. He punches the brunet.

"Get stronger?! What, you think this is a game where we level up or something?! Heartless will kill us if we lose to them!"

Sora uppercuts the archer, making stand and take a few steps back. Sora uses this chance to punch him again, knocking him against a tree.

"Exactly! And even if we're not strong enough to fight the high level ones yet, we're the only ones who can fight them so if we hadn't come here then innocent and powerless people who can't fight would die!"

"Why did the Keyblade even picked you in the first place?!" Suguru groaned and dashed at Sora, throwing another punch.

Sora ducked to avoid it but Suguru quickly turned around and threw a kick but Sora was fast and jumped away to avoid the kick.

The two glared and growled at each other and were about to dash at each other to continue fighting but then Nakami got in between them.

"That's enough! You two need to remember who's the enemy here and it isn't ourselves!" The girl told the two, them still glaring and growling at each other.

"Get out of the way, Nakami!" Suguru groaned.

"Not until you two calm down!" She screamed back.

("Zetsubou - Digimon Adventure" stops playing)

"I've had it with you treating me like some idiot! I never asked to be chosen by the Keyblade, it just happened! Yet I'm out here trying my best to help you find your king but you can't even act with some decency?!" Sora screamed at Suguru with a glare.

"That's the whole prolem!" Suguru screamed furiously, making Sora and Nakami stare wide eyed at him.

("Mirage - BlazBlue" starts playing)

"King Shuryo is gone! The worlds are disappearing! Our Gummi Ship is broken! And now someone might even possibly be controlling the Heartless! Things couldn't be any worse! And you're the first Keyblade wielder in years, the person who should be the one to fix all of this?! Some dumb kid with no skill that's always joking and never takes anything seriously?! It doesn't matter if you're trying your best because your best just isn't enough for what's happening!" The archer screamed at the Keyblade wielder, leaving him shocked and speechless.

Nakami looked at Sora's face after this speech. She wanted to say something to defend him but couldn't think of anything, leaving her to just sigh dissapointed.

Suguru continued staring at them for some seconds before he turned around. "Y'know what? Do whatever you want, I just don't care anymore." He said before he started walking back to the camp.

Sora was looking down at the ground, his hair covering his eyes. Nakami looked at him with a sorrowful look.

"Look, Sora-" The brunette started but before she could finish, Sora ran off into the jungle. Nakami's eyes widened and she almost ran after him but she realized he might need some time for himself so she simply lowered her head and walked back to the camp.

As Suguru walked back to the camp, it started raining. He looks upwards to the sky and groans. "Great, just what I needed."

He hears some steps behind him, he looks behind to see who it is and sees it's Nakami.

"You decided to come with me now?" He asked but the girl instead of replying continued walking forward. "Hey, I've made you a question! Are you actually gonna say I'm in the wrong still?!"

"I'm not saying you're wrong!" Nakami screamed before turning around with a glare. "I'm saying you're a jerk." She says before continuing to walk towards the camp. Suguru at first glared at her and groaned before his glare softened to a sad look. "Goddammit..." He sighed before following her.

("Mirage - BlazBlue" stops playing)

Suguru and Nakami walk back to the camp. There they see that Jane, the Professor and Clayton have already fixed mostly everything. The brunette woman widen her eyes and runs towards them once she sees them.

"There you kids are! We were starting to worry!" She said with her arms crossed before pausing for a second. "Wait, where's Sora?!" She asked in a worried tone.

Suguru groaned and walked past her. "In the jungle."

Jane's eyes widened. She turned around and grabbed the redhead by the shoulder. "You two left him there?!"

"We didn't left him anywhere, but he's even more stubborn than a mule and wouldn't hear us!" Suguru argued back.

"What?! He went into the jungle himself?!" Jane said, shocked.

"He went after Tarzan." Nakami said, in a sad tone and looking down at the ground.

Jane's eyes widened. "I can't believe it..." She said in a silent but shocked tone.

"Hey, what happened?" The Professor asked as he and Clayton walked towards the three.

"Sora! He's on the jungle!" Jane told them.

"What?! Goodness, we have to go after him!" The Professor quickly said.

He was about to grab his things but Clayton held out his hand to stop him.

"I don't think so, Professor."

His words made Jane's eyes widen in shock.

"Mr. Clayton! Are you really about to let a young boy fend for himself in the jungle?!"

"While it is undeniably a shame, I should remind you that we're here for the Gorillas, not to look for little boys in the jungle."

"Yes, but this is a matter of life or death!" Jane argued.

"Well, then his two friends here can go save him in that case." Clayton said as he pointed to Suguru and Nakami.

Suguru raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms. "Friends? Not how I'd describe that moron, and besides, I don't have time to stay here or go rescue him, I have something important that needs to be done. Are you coming?" He asked Nakami.

The Ninja girl simply looked at him with an angry face before sighing and looking at Jane, the Professor and Clayton with a more neutral face. "I'm staying here. I trust Sora will be fine, he's much tougher than he looks. Besides, I think he needs some time to stay alone. He'll be back here, I'm sure of it." She said before tilting her head and closing her eyes with a sweet but noticeably forced smile. She then turned around and walked away to a tent

Jane and the Professor looked at her with sympathy. Knowing her smile was fake but also having a feeling that she didn't want to talk about it. Clayton simply had a uninterested look on his face.

Suguru stared at Nakami. His face was the usual stoic expression but you could tell there was some remorse there. He looks to the ground, thinking about what he said to Sora. He sighed and walking away from the camp.

Sora is seen climbing a tree, with Suguru's words echoing in his head. Due to his lack of focus, he ends up grabbing a weak limb in the tree which breaks and he falls off in the ground. Instead of standing up, he stays there on the ground, looking at the sky with a defeated look.

"Don't give up."

That voice again...

Sora's eyes widened, recognizing who it was. He looked to the side and, sure enough, it was Kairi.

"Back on the islands, when we were kids, you never gave up. No matter the beating you took, you always stood up."

("Missing You - Kingdom Hearts" starts playing)

A 4 year old Sora is seen being knocked to the ground, his wooden sword falling next to him.

"That's another win for me!" Boasted a 5 year old Riku with his wooden sword in hand.

"I'm not done yet!" Sora said as he stood up holding his sword.

"That's the spirit, Sora!" Encouraged a 4 year old Kairi.

"Hey, you're on his side now?" Riku asked, faking an offended tone.

Sora nodded at Kairi before dashing at Riku and swinging the sword at him. Riku smirked and assumed his combat stance.

It cuts to Sora falling down again, with Riku pointing his wooden sword at him with a smug smirk on his face.

"Nice try, Sora, but I win again." He teased.

Sora groaned but then he acted quick and kicked Riku's leg, making him lose balance and fall on the ground. Sora rolled backwards and grabbed his wooden sword again, entering his combat stance.

Kairi giggled as she raised her arms.

Riku smirked as he stood up and entered his combat stance. "Okay, lets go one more round!"

The two young rivals dash at each other.

Back to the present, Sora is still on the ground, staring wide eyed at Kairi, who smiles at him.

"That's why I knew I could always count on you." She tells him.

"Kairi..." Sora whispered.

"Sora?"

He hears a voice calling him, he turns to the side and sees Tarzan there and when he looks back, Kairi was no longer there.

("Missing You - Kingdom Hearts" stops playing)

Tarzan walked towards the boy. "Suguru? Nakami?" He asked.

"Gone." Sora replied, not even getting up. "I'm. Weak." He tried explaining in a way that Tarzan could understand.

Tarzan stared at the boy on the ground before grabbing him by the arm and helping him stand up, surprising Sora.

"Tarzan?" He asked him.

"Sora. Tarzan. Friends." The wild man told the boy. "*&&X%. Friends. Sora. Tarzan."

Sora gave a weak smile. "Thanks, Tarzan."

"*&&X%. Tarzan. Help. Sora." The wild man continued to say before he started climbing the tree, signaling Sora to follow him. Sora smiled and nodded, he started climbing the tree alongside him.

("Son of Man - Tarzan" stars playing)

Sora and Tarzan are seen climbing a tree, but Tarzan doing so with less trouble. Sora's hand eventually slips and he almost falls down but Tarzan grabs him at the last second and smiles at him. Sora grins in return before he grabs on to the tree again and continues to climb it.

("Oh, the power to be strong")

Sora tries to lift a huge log but is struggling to do so before Tarzan comes in and helps him. The two smile and nod at each other and walk carrying the log around the jungle.

("And the wisdom to be wise")

Next Sora and Tarzan are surfing trees. Unfortunely, the tree Sora is on cracks and he falls down on the ground. Tarzan's eyes widen as he jumps down to check on the boy.

("All these things will come to you in time")

Scene cuts to Sora and Tarzan jumping from tree to tree. Tarzan was doing so with much less difficulty and Sora struggled to keep up but kept going.

("On this journey that you're making")

Tarzan pointed at a bunch of bananas, Sora nodded at him and threw the Keyblade at it, missing it by several inches. He looks down upset.

("There'll be answers that you'll seek")

Sora hit the ground hard but quickly stood up and dashed at Tarzan. The boy threw a punch which the Ape Man easily dodged and smacked Sora on the head, knocking him to the ground but once again he stood up.

("And it's you who'll climb the mountain")

Sora is running up a mountain with logs being thrown at him by Tarzan. Sora had a grin on his face as he dodged all the logs.

("It's you who'll reach the peak")

Tarzan picked a heavy log and threw down at the boy. Sora smirked as he summoned his Keyblade and sliced the log in half.

("Son of man, look to the sky")

Sora and Tarzan are swinging on vines, the two side by side.

("Lift your spirit, set it free")

Sora's hand slips as he misses a vine and falls down. Tarzan's eyes widen.

("Someday you'll walk tall with pride")

The spiky brunet acts fast and grabs a vine during his falling.

("Son of man, a man in time you'll be")

Sora uses the vine he grabbed to swing high in the sky. Tarzan smirking with pride.

(Instrumental)

Sora is seen with his Keyblade in hand facing a Rhinoceros with Tarzan watching it from a log. The animal dashes at him but Sora rolls out of the way, the animal simply turns around and charges at the boy again but he uses his Keyblade to stop the animal and push him away. The Rhinoceros almost charges at Sora again but Tarzan jumps in-between them and nods at Sora with a smile, the Rhinoceros also smiling. Sora grins in return with a thumps up.

("Though there's no one there to guide you")

Sora picks up a log and carries it while running up a mountain and dodging other logs being thrown by Tarzan.

("No one to take your hand")

Sora and Tarzan are climbing trees next to each other. This time the two keeping up with each other perfectly.

("But with faith and understanding")

Sora is now climbing a waterfall. The water falling on him almost dropping him down but he keeps climbinb upwards.

("You will journey from boy to man")

Tarzan threw a punch at Sora but the boy quickly ducked under it and kicked the Ape Man in the chest, knocking him back. Tarzan dashed at Sora and attempted to grab him but the boy jumped back before throwing a punch. Tarzan grabs it and the two smirk at each other.

("Son of man, look to the sky")

Sora looks at Tarzan, who nods at him. The boy smirks and wipes his nose before he starts running on a large tree branch.

("Lift your spirit, set it free")

The brunet jumps off the branch and grabs on a vine as he starts swining around.

("Someday you'll walk tall with pride")

Sora almost misses one vine but manages to grab it and continues to swing through the jungle before jumping into another large tree branch, with an amazed smile.

("Son of man, a man in time you'll be")

Sora grins and jumps off the branch into the jungle.

("In learning you will teach")

Sora and Tarzan are swinging in the vines next to each other.

("And in teaching you will learn")

Eventually Tarzan grabs Sora's hand and throws him upwards. Sora using his new skills to climb up the trees.

("You'll find your place beside the ones you love")

As Sora reaches the top of the tree, he sees the bright blue sky. A big smile on his face.

("Oh and all the things you dreamed of")

Sora turns his back and he once again sees a vision of Kairi, she was smiling at him. He smiles back at her before jumping back into the jungle.

("The visions that you saw")

Scene cuts to Sora climbing a mountain by jumping from boulder to boulder, not slowing down anytime soon.

("Well, the time is drawing near now")

Sora reaches the top of the mountain where Tarzan was waiting for him. The two grin at each other.

("It's yours to claim it all")

Several Heartless then show up in front of them, the two heroes aren't intimidated and just draw their weapons in their combat stances.

("Son of man, look to the sky")

Tarzan stabs a Powerwild with his spear as Sora slices a Bouncywild with the Kingdom Key.

("Lift your spirit, set it free")

Sora and Tarzan dodge a sphere of fire from a Bouncywild and the two knock it down from the mountain.

("Someday you'll walk tall with pride")

A Powerwild jumps high into the air, swinging its claws at Sora and Tarzan but the two slice it with their weapons.

("Son of man, a man in time you'll be")

They turn around and see alot more Powerwilds and Bouncywilds waiting for them. The two nod at each other and dash at them.

(Instrumental)

Sora and Tarzan slice down and cut through all the Heartless with no effort but more and more of them keep coming.

Eventually, Sora points his Keyblade forward as a red aura surrounds him. Noticing that, Tarzan quickly stays behind the boy.

("Son of man")

Sora shoots a large blast of fire that wipes out all the Heartless in front of them.

("Son of man's a man for all to see")

Tarzan places his hands on Sora's shoulders. The boy looks at him, the man nods proudly, Sora nods back. The two then look at the jungle with confident smiles.
