KINGDOM HEARTS: Edge Before End.

Chapter 1.1: Missbrauch von das Behörde.

Myst opens his eyes, having fallen asleep back at his room...only to find his surroundings being those of the Station of Awakening once more. "...H-Huh!? where...am I!?" says Myst, becoming more panicky then when he arrived at the station the 1st time around...

"...Sigh, why are YOU back here? honestly. I thought I sent you back on your merry way...and yet, here you are." appearing before Myst from inside a Corridor of Darkness is Xander, not pleased at being reunited with Myst again and so soon a time...especially here at the station of all places.

"!? W-WHO-" before Myst could say anything, Xander raises a hand to silence his shouting. "Listen, the fact that you've returned here only after a whole day's worth of time...means that something is about to go down. Your Heart has sensed the danger...and is warning you of it. I told you already...no single person can always stand within the very same spot their entire lifetimes. Therefore, this will be the 2nd time that I'll be sending you back...please don't make it a 3rd." says Xander before he then summons a severe gust of wind, sending Myst hurdling away into the surrounding shadows...seemingly engulfed by them.

"...I take it that was YOUR doing?" says Xander, next turning around to face someone...a silhouette wearing the black coat. "...Hehe, it's been a while Xander. Though I just can't believe that you sent the candidate off like that straight into the Darkness...are you mad perhaps?" says the silhouette, having the voice of a young woman...

"What? mad in the sense of me as a crazed lunatic? or mad at seeing you interfering with my work? ... I guess, you could say both." says Xander, crossing his arms and appearing to sound upset. "Aww...how cute! this is why you're the man that I fell deeply in love with. Still, I can't help but worry about your course of action; regarding that boy just now..." says the young woman, slowly approaching Xander.

"...You've always been the sentimental type. As for the kid...it's fine. He's already completed his trial and crossed the Door to Midlight back towards his home...in otherwords, he will remain unaffected by the influence of Darkness itself." says Xander, facing back in the direction that he sent Myst flying into the shadows...

"Hmmmm? I see...I suppose that's alright then. But Xander...you're more of a big softie compared to me. Why, Xerxes has always said that you were the kind of guy whom always does his own thing...and yet. You've always chosen to aid others...regardless of them being used as tools within the long run. Just WHY is that?" says the woman, now standing side by side with Xander; over the edge of the Station of Awakening.

"...I imagine you keeping your nose out of my business and not to stick it where it doesn't belong, Xavi." says Xander, identifying his counterpart of sorts to be Xavi; a fellow member of the eX-Templars. "Oh poopie...you're still no fun, seriously. How did I fall for such a stern man like you? but...it IS the reason why I love you to begin with." says Xavi, unveiling the hood of her black coat...revealing herself to have both long purple coloured hair and sharp gold coloured eyes...

"It's ironic though...a candidate for the XIII Darknesses being untainted by such Darkness...curious, don't you think Xander?" says Xavi whilst Xander remains silent...causing Xavi to giggle. As for Myst...he had been returned back to his World of Midlight Town. Here, he suddenly awakens...unable to recall the contents of his dreamlike experience. "...! ...I...what. What...was I dreaming about? ... yeesh! what a mess." says Myst...not talking about the state of his bedroom.

After fulfilling his normal quota for the morning...Myst was ready to meet up with both Diva and Iden. It was finally the day...of which the Midlight Festival would begin! absolutely refusing to miss a single event. Myst rushes forwards to where he normally meets his friends, saying the following words whilst running "HA! HA! T-TODAY'S THE DAY! I didn't...get the chance yesterday. I know I said on the eve of the festival...but, dang it! I got myself so caught up talking about Hearts and winds. I didn't...tell Diva how I feel about her. Today's going to be different though! especially since the main attraction itself will be happening. I'm not going to miss my chance this time-AUGH!?" suddenly, Myst bumps into something. Or rather...someone.

"Oh? sorry, my bad. Ever so sorry...Myst Arcane Secre." says a haughty sounding voice, mocking Myst upon the ground. "Ugh...it's you, Aemul. I should have figured that there's no roadblocks along the way..." says Myst, wiping the dust off his clothes as he gets back up. "How DARE you, commoner! I shall have you address me as lord Aemulusa Adversatrix the 4th! acting commander-in-training of the border patrols!" says the opposition, introducing itself in full grandeur...

"...What? you can't cease the personal squabbling at least for today? geez. You REALLY have nothing better to do, other then picking on the weak; huh Aemul?" says Myst, nudging the back of his head. "!? HOW-HOW-HOW...HOW DARE YOU MOCK ME! I will not tolerate your insults against me any further! border guards! I summon thee!" says the high and mighty Aemul, summoning servants towards his cause...

A group of five soldiers in armour then appear and start surrounding Myst within a circle formation. "...Really? you just couldn't leave off for today? it's clearly obvious that you planned this ahead of time, Aemul. But we all know what's going to happen here...so please, just save yourself the trouble and do your job properly already. It's bad enough that you give border patrols an awful image...but now your wholeheartedly willing to attack a civillian? someone that you're supposed to protect?" says Myst, raising a very valid question.

"SILENCE! I DO NOT CARE FOR THE SQUABBLES OF THE LESSER! we border guards only protect that which is worth protecting. You could never understand the nobility of our Hearts, meager worm!" says Aemul, drawing a sword from his sheath. "...And THAT is why we'll never come to an agreement, Aemul. Protecting only the things that are deemed valuable and nothing to speak of the rest...isn't noble. It's cowardice...and I? I won't stand for it. If you want a fight, I'll gladly give you one...sorry Iden. Sorry Diva, I know this is only going to put you guys in bad spots with your dads; but...I CAN'T back down. I just can't...the winds in my Heart are telling me not to." says Myst before he makes a crackling sound with his fists...

"Hmph, fool! what can you possibly do without a weapon? it's six against one!" says Aemul, speaking of numbers. "...Nah, it's one against six. I can take all you guys on, no sweat. I mean...I've done so before, right? even without a weapon." says Myst, readying his battle position. His words greatly infuriate Aemul, causing him to shout out "HURT-HIM!" and thereby order his soldiers towards attacking Myst!

"Got to admit, being trapped in a circle doesn't help things...what do I-!" as Myst thinks to himself how he can fight whilst trapped inside the circle formation...suddenly. A bright Light emerges-appearing from the entire left side of Myst's Body! "H-H-HUH!?" Myst is left dumbfounded, unable to make sense of what's happening to him.

Lastly, we see the man with the eyepatch that Xander met with previously...watching from atop a stack of buildings down below at what is going on. "...Now, we'll see." says the man...appearing to have a sense of what is about to transpire. Whether for better or for worse...a new power is starting to awaken in Myst. If it shall serve as a boon or a curse...is entirely up to Myst himself...
