EDIT: November 3, 2020

I don't know why, but for some reason the chapter didn't showed yesterday, so I will try and post it today again.


Chapter 42: The final day of training.

In a room made of gold, marble and an exotic blue stone that made the room shine like if the moon shined on it, a lone woman was sitting on a chair, close to a round table, with a crystal ball in the middle. The ball showed what looked like stars in the night sky. They were blinking, disappearing and reappearing, in a strange pattern that no one would know it's meaning.

Except of her.

The woman, a mage because of her violet robe, had blondie hair, and white skin, along with very large breasts, looked at these patterns with worry on her eyes. After a while, she just sighed.

"I see…so that is the future…" Said the violet eyed blondie. "Then… I have to do something now. It's our only chance…"

She then got up and went outside her room, this time…to change the future.


An orb of darkness was floating in the middle of the room. This darkness was very powerful, as if a normal Human or Spirituel touched it, they would be immediately corrupted by it. It kind of worked like a small black hole, as it was attracting all energy close to it, to absorb it and becoming bigger, slowly but surely. If left alone, it would eventually grow so big it will start consuming the room itself, and then the library…and probably the planet, a process that would normally take years, but still it would be dangerous to let it alone.

Suddenly, an energy blast of pure blue energy hit it, and absorb it. The darkness was slowly being destroyed, and in the end it disappeared. For a few seconds, the pure blue energy remained, before it also disappeared, leaving only a crystal sphere that was inside the orb of darkness since the beginning.

On the other side of the room, David smiled.

"Well done, Alan. You have managed to control that spell too." Said David, as he turned to look at the young man.

"Thanks, Master David." Alan answered, as he took a deep breath. "Man, that was REALLY good!"

"You got the hang of it really fast. Normally I wouldn't show you that spell, since it would take several months for someone to learn, and yet you got the hang of it really fast."

"Well… let's just say that, while not the same, I kind of already knew of that technique, so it was familiar."

"Oh? You do? Well, that was good, it reduced the time of learning for several weeks. Good you already have some knowledge of it."

"Yeah…"

"Remember, the more time you charge that spell, the more powerful it will become, and the more darkness it can purify. That spell is better to be used against evil beings, but if you take time to charge it, you will be left vulnerable, so be careful when using it."

"I will, Master."

David smiled, as he walked forward, making some distance from Alan.

"Well, this is the last day of our training." Said the older mage, stopping and turning to face Alan. "You have become stronger in such a short time."

"It's all thanks to you, Master David." Alan answered. "I only get to this level because of your training."

"Not only to me. Duncan also made a good job in his training. I'm sure if you have stayed in place for some days, you would have become stronger with his training too."

"That is true…I think." Said Alan, looking at his hands. "So…what should we do on this day?"

"Like I said before…I will fight you with all my strength."

Suddenly, David's aura flared up again, causing Alan to take a few steps back. His aura was so powerful, it shook the whole room, and the pressure was impressive.

"So this is…Master David's true power?" asked Alan in surprise.

"Yes, yes it is." Said David, as he slowly began to float a few centimeters over the ground. "I will use all my magic, so you come at me with all your strength, and we'll see what you'll be able to do against Exus, in case you fight."

"Oh, that sounds great!" exclaimed Alan, before jumping back and burning his aura. It was way stronger than when he started the training, and the intensity of his aura showed it. "I am ready!"

"Alright!" expressed David, as his own aura began to flare up too. "Then come, Alan! Show me what you have learned!"

"I will!" he exclaimed, before he dashed towards David, his fist surrounded in icy energy. "Let's GO!"

David smiled, as he saw Alan's fist closing by. This will be an interesting battle.


-Music: Night of the Dark Realm (Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix Soundtrack)-

The three Sages, Vivian, Sapphire and Rubina, were walking across the hallway, walking towards their rooms. They have just finished their training, and they learned so many things about the power of the Sages, and spells to help them in this battle.

"I'm exhausted." Said Vivian, as she stretched her arms to release the tension in them. "Four days of intense training, my body was about to collapse from it."

"Nya! It waz a good training, gurl!" expressed Rubina, still very pumped up. "Thiz traiing does our body good!" she said, before walking behind Vivian and grabbing her breasts from behind. "This part too, obviously!"

"Kyaaa! Stop it, Rubina!" exclaimed Vivian, trying to escape the grasps of her redhead companion.

Sapphire, who was walking behind her two companions, just smiled. They just went to an intense training to increase their Sage powers, and to be more in tune with their Crystals, thanks to some spells and knowledge they learned in here. They were now even stronger than before. She wasn't sure if they could beat Exia, but they will try to do so.

"Alright!" exclaimed Rubina, after she stop groping Vivian, who just sighed in relief. "Tomoroow we'll zee everyone again, right? Rubina can't wait to see friend Alan again and zhow him how ztronger Rubina haz become!"

At the mention of the human's name, both Sapphire and Vivian blushed a little. They haven't though of him in a few days, as they concentrated on their training. Now that they are reminded of him, they wonder if he was ok. Sure, he wasn't as strong as them, but he was a reliable guy. No matter what happened, they could rely on him, and that was something they love about him. Also, he saved both of them in one occasion, so they are grateful. They can't wait to see him tomorrow.

"Well, let's go to sleep." Said Sapphire. "I am beat, so let's go and-"

"Excuse me, are you the three Crystal Sages?"

The three girls turned to look back and saw a beautiful young girl, probably just a bit older than them. She had blondie hair, although they didn't knew how long since she used the purple robe's hood to cover it and most of her face. They do know her skin was white (at leas from her face), her eyes were violet, and has some large breasts, probably rivaling Sapphire's, being the biggest of the group. Her eyes were relaxed, and she looked at them with a smile in her face.

"Can we help you?" asked Sapphire in confusion at the newcomer.

"I'm sorry, I am a resident of this tower, a mage." Said the blondie mage. "Sages of Wind, Water and Thunder, it's important that I talk to you."

"You are a mage in here?" asked Vivian. "Why haven't we seen you before?"

"Forgive me, but I rest in one of the top floors of the tower, and I was not supposed to come down here, but I just… I need to speak to you three."

"About?" asked Sapphire.

"About your quest. I need you to come with me, please. It will be only for a few minutes, an hour at most, but it's imperative I do talk to you."

The three girls looked at each other in confusion. They didn't know this girl, but if she was in this tower, then she can't be a bad person, right?

Without thinking it much, the three girls nodded in agreement.

"Alright, miss!" expressed Rubina. "Let'z go and hear what ye hav to say!"

"Thank you." Said the blondie woman. "I am glad you have agreed to, miss Vivian, Sapphire and Rubina." She said, confusing the three girls even more.

"Wait, how do you know our names?" asked Vivian in confusion.

"Because…I saw you all, in my premonition."

"Premonition?" asked Sapphire. "Can…can you see the future?"

"Yes, and that is one of the reasons why I need you all to come to me, to talk about…the future."

The young mage began to walk away, as the 3 Sages looked at each other in confusion, before starting to follow her, now curious about their future.


-Music: The Fierce Battle (Final Fantasy V Arranged Soundtrack)-

"ICEBEAM!"

The powerful beam of ice energy flew fast towards his objective; the Master Mage he was facing. However, the older mage easily blocked the ice blast with his right hand, and crushed it with ease.

"Strong attack, Alan." Expressed David, smiling a little. "But a true Ice beam is like THIS ONE!" Exclaimed, before releasing another Ice Beam against the human.

Alan saw this and immediately jumped away, creating some distance between them. However, in the air, he was vulnerable.

"WHITE ELEMENTAL: PHOTONRAY!"

A fast beam of light emerged from David's left index finger, flying towards Alan who was in the air. The human saw this in surprise and crossed his arms to brace himself, as the beam hit him in the left arm, creating a powerful explosion.

David looked at the dust cloud created by the explosion, and waited for something to happen. About a second later, Alan landed on his feet…with a shield on his left arm, made of ice.

"ICE SHIELD!" Exclaimed Alan, showing the shield on his left arm.

It was a circular shield of ice, very polished, although the shield wasn't that big, probably only 50 centimeters in diameter. However, the shield, who just got hit by David's blast, didn't had any crack on it, showing its durability.

"Oh? So you finally made that shield as hard as you could, eh?" asked David with intrigue.

"Yeah, it took SO MUCH TIME, but I managed to do it." Said Alan, raising his shield. "Now I have a second defense in case someone destroy my Reflect shield."

"Well, let's see how strong it is." Said David, as he pointed forward. "MARS PSYENERGY: INFERNO!"

Suddenly, several fireballs emerged from David's body in all directions, stop in the air, and then flew towards Alan at high speeds. The human saw this in surprise and hide behind his shield, as he powered his aura. The fireballs began impacting the shield and the intense flames were melting and destroying the shield. However, Alan's ice aura almost immediately fixed all the damage, making the shield resist even more than before. But he knew he couldn't stay in there for much longer, so he had to create a plan.

"REFLEGA!" he exclaimed, as the shield of hexagons formed around him, and it started to get hit by the fireballs.

"It's useless, Alan!" exclaimed David, as he continued summoning and launching fireballs around him towards the human. "Even if you have increased the power of the shield, it will not survive all of these attacks!"

And it was true. Even if the Reflega was stronger, it was not going to survive, as several fissures were forming on it. Soon, the shield of light shattered, creating a large explosion that made a big dust cloud. David cancelled his attack, and began sensing Alan's energy. However, the human has learned how to conceal it so well, so even he couldn't detect it.

Suddently, from the dust cloud, something went flying directly towards him. It was fast, and was spinning towards him like a disc, and David just surrounded his right hand with energy and slapped the thing away…and it immediately was shattered, sending ice shards in all directions.

'What? It was the shield?' David though, as the ice shards of Alan's Shield hit him in the face, and the dust entered his eyes, causing him to be blind for a few seconds.

…seconds that Alan used to appear behind David and try to punch him in the face.

…the word was 'try', as David quickly evaded the attack, grabbed Alan's arm and quickly tossed him over his head, sending the human flying forward and falling on his back.

"Good trick, Alan, but you won't be able to beat me with that." Said David, as he slowly opened his eyes, clear of the dust. "I could feel your aura when you got too close. Well, at least you didn't yell your attack."

"I thought of doing that, but decided not to." Said Alan, as he slowly got up. "Oh well, next time then!"

"Then come! Let's continue!"

"Alright!" Said Alan, as he once again powered up.


-Music: Magical Mystery (Kingdom Hearts II Soundtrack)-

Four girls, two blondies, one redhead and one white haired, were standing in the middle of a room, looking at each other. They all had some bruises, but in general they looked ok. They were breathing hard, as if they were just finished some exercises or something.

Then again, since the room looked VERY damaged, it's probably that they did.

"Wow…well done, girls." Said Hinoka, as she was looking at the destruction around them. "You did a great job in here."

"Thanks, miss Hinoka." Kristal answered, as her sister Kuarzo and Iridia just smiled.

During all these days, Hinoka decided to train the 3 magician girls, and she saw they were growing very fast in magic power.

"You have become stronger now, and reached my level in such a short time." Said Hinoka. "You girls are amazing!"

"Oh, of course we are!" said Kuarzo, smiling with pride. "We trained hard, so we had to become stronger!"

"And all this training helped us to increase our magic pool and energy." Said Iridia, smiling shyly.

"Yeah. Thanks for the training, Hinoka." Said Kristal. "With your help, we will be able to protect everyone."

"I was glad to help, girls." Said Hinoka, before turning to look at Iridia. "Glad you decided for more healing and barrier spells, also for more that will help you dispel some others."

"I try to help with them." Said Iridia, smiling sweetly.

"And you, Kristal and Kuarzo…well, you like everything."

"Yeah, we wanted to train more in general, so we learned different spells, but to cover all bases." Kristal laugh nervously, as she decided to just train in general.

"Yeah, we don't have ANY favorites." Said Kuarzo, trying to act normally. 'Hope she doesn't find out about the spell I tried to learn on my own…' she though.

"Well, you did great job, girls. I'm proud of you." Hinoka commented, giving them a smile.

"Thanks, Hinoka!" exclaimed the three of them, causing her to just smile.

Hinoka look at the three girls. During these days, she just spends time with them, training them and knowing each other. It also helped her to open a little more with others and become stronger, since in the Library, no one wanted to train with her, as they were all busy learning spells and other things.

Hinoka just sighed. Even if she has lived all her life in the Library, she felt she was an outcast. Other mages in the library helped her, but they didn't train her, or even take care of her. Only Master David helped her, and he only started training her two years ago, hence why she became so strong in such a short time. Before that, she was only helping on the library, trying to learn a few spells on her own, sometimes getting it wrong. Those were interesting times.

But training with these girls were more… interesting. She felt alive, like never before.

"I don't know, girls, but when I am with you, I feel something…familiar." Said Hinoka, as she looked at the 3 girls before her.

"Yeah, it's the same feeling." Said Kristal, smiling a little. "It may be because we became so familiar with each other in these last week."

"No, it's not that." Said Hinoka again. "You and your sister Kuarzo gave me some familiarity, since you both are sisters, but…" then she turned to look at Iridia, who looked at her in confusion. "…why do you give me the same feeling? Your energy feels similar to them. What gives?"

The three girls looked at each other nervously, before they all just shrugged, and Kuarzo walked to Hinoka to say something in her ear. After a few seconds, the redhead's eyes opened wide in surprise, as she looked at the three girls.

"Woa! Really? You three?!" exclaimed Hinoka. "Wow! Never thought about that."

"Yeah, only a few know about it." Said Kristal, laughing nervously. "Don't tell anyone. We want to know how long it will pass before they learn about it."

"Alright, alright! I won't tell anyone, I swear." Said Hinoka, smiling. "Your secret is well hidden with me. Alright, let's rest, because in a few hours we have to meet back in the hallway, since the time is almost up."

"Great! I want to see Alan-kun again!" exclaimed Kuarzo.

Hearing that name, Kristal blushed a little, remembering the 'Kristal-chan' situation days ago. Iridia also blushed, remembering the intensity of his eyes when he was serious. This didn't pass unnoticed by Hinoka.

"You girls REALLY love that human, right?" asked the redhead, causing the 3 to blush a little more.

"Y-yeah, I do like him a little…" said Kristal, scratching her cheek, evading the redhead's look. Iridia just looked down and nodded.

"Yeah! I love him!" said Kuarzo, not hiding her feelings. "I just want to see him again!"

"Well, I can't blame you. He has…something…" commented Hinoka, causing the 3 girls to look at her with intrigue.

"…you like him?" asked Iridia with confusion.

"Nah. I have not interacted with him THAT much. But he does have a great spirit and heart. I can see why you like him."

"Well, if you do like him, tell us." Said Kuarzo. "I want to see who will be our rival in love!"

"Don't exaggerate, Kuarzo!" exclaimed Kristal, laughing nervously.

"I don't! You know how Alan-kun loves large breasts, and Hinoka's are big too! I have to take them into consideration!" exclaimed Kuarzo, causing Kristal to sigh in desperation. Hinoka just smiled.

"Well girls, I think this is all." Said Hinoka again. "Let's go and have something to eat, and then we just wait."

"Right!" exclaimed the three girls.

And with that, the four magician girls walked towards the door of the room, waiting for their friends to reunite.

Suddently, the whole place shook, surprising the four girls. Only Kuarzo couldn't manage to keep herself on her feet, as she fell face first to the ground.

"Woa! What was that?" asked Kuarzo on the floor, looking at the other girls.

"N-no idea." Said Iridia. "Was it an earthquake?"

"No, it didn't felt like one." Kristal said. "It was more like…a burst of something?"

Hinoka looked up, as if trying to deduce what was happening. She just smiled after a few seconds.

"Don't worry, girls." Said the busty redhead mage. "It just seems like Master David's training is reaching its finale."

"Uh? What will happen with Alan-kun?" asked Kuarzo in confusion.

"You will see tomorrow, girls. Now, let's go."

Kristal, Kuarzo and Iridia looked at each other, wondering what will happen to Alan.


On another room, made for training, Steve fell to the ground, completely exhausted. His training clothes, which were only a brown robe, were in tatters. However, his face, while dirty, showed a big smile, one that was shared by his Master, Duncan, who wore a simply purple robe, although his were more intact that his student.

"Well done, Steve." Said Duncan, looking at the fallen figure of his student. "You managed to reach the level of your companions. See how you can overcome anything when you stop being lazy?"

"I know, Master… I know." Said Steve, as he just sat on the ground, still smiling. "But you know me, I normally can't concentrate too much on one task. I just…want to live a relaxed life."

"Then you should train to do so." Duncan said, as he began walking aimlessly around the room.

"Why you say that, Master?" asked Steve with intrigue.

"These times, one can't have a relaxed life, Steve. With Exus about to be released, peace is not an option. If you are not strong enough, you will not be able to keep that peace you want."

Steve said nothing, and just began to think.

"I'm sure you want to have a peaceful life…maybe a girlfriend with one of the girls in our team?" asked Duncan, causing Steve to laugh nervously.

"Hehe, that is true, Master. Can't deny they are cute girls, and I would love one to be my girlfriend…but they are so into Alan so much, not sure I can compete with that."

"You need to be more assertive…and no, not in the pervert way."

"What do you mean?"

"You need to show you are more reliable, to show they can rely on you if they need you. That is one reason to become stronger."

"Then why do they like Alan? He is weaker than us, even weaker than me. He wouldn't be able to protect them from stronger enemies."

"Because he tries to become stronger. He never gives up and tried to become stronger for himself. They saw that. Also remember he saved Vivian, protected Sapphire, and befriend and protected Dinara, so they have a reason to like them. Kuarzo just fell in love with him, Iridia followed that path, and Kristal, well, she has been with him all this time, so no wonder she started to like him."

"I see…"

"Also make no mistake: all the girls in our group are strong on their own. They don't need someone to protect them. However, they do want someone to rely on if things become complicated, and even if he is weaker, Alan has shown he is willing to protect them and help them. That is why they like him. You need to become more reliable, to show them they can count on you whenever they can. You being lazy and relying on your current power with no motivation to become stronger is not showing they can rely on you."

"…I understand."

"Then I hope you do start becoming stronger, Steve. Otherwise, this training session will be for nothing."

"Yes, Master! I will not fail you!"

"Good." Said Duncan. "Now, I teach you some other spells, and a way to increase your magical aura in a short amount of time. I hope you use them well."

"I will, Master. Believe me, I will become more reliable. Not only for the girls, but for you too, and for all my companions."

"That is good to hear. Now, what about a last training battle, now I will be more serious."

"W-What? You weren't serious before?!" asked Steve with surprise and fear.

"Not at all!" said Duncan. "It will be the most logical thing to do, to see how strong you have really become."

Suddently, the whole place began to shake, causing Steve to look all around him, very surprised because of it.

"Woa! What was that?" asked Steve in confusion.

Duncan looked around, and he just smiled.

"We are not the only ones who are giving our best in these final hours." Said the Dark Magician, confusing his student.

"What do you mean, Master?" Steve asked, but Duncan just smiled.

"We will see tomorrow, Steve." He answered, before his magical aura began to flare up. "Now…shall we?"

As Duncan's aura increased, Steve knew he was in serious trouble. He just sighed.

"Well… fu-"


In another training room, an intense glow was slowly receding, as the Kuriboh Castanea was looking away from the intense glare. As the light receded, it was shown that the person surrounded by light was none other than Dinara herself, as she slowly rest on the ground.

"Wow, that form is quite interesting, girl." Said Castanea with surprise. "You really did it."

"Thank you, miss Castanea." Said Dinara, taking a few breaths to recover herself. "I hope this form will help us in the battle."

"You became stronger, girl. And you are the strongest female on our group. I'm sure you will help us so much."

"I-I'm no one THAT amazing, miss Castanea." Dinara said, laughing nervously. The Kuriboh just arched an eyebrow…if she had one.

"Are you kidding, girl? You are a BLUE EYES FREAKING DRAGON! You could easily solo all the girls in this group and probably Master Duncan and Strum if you wanted to. You ARE the Ace we have!"

"I-I'm not! I just want to help everyone…"

"Or you want to help 'Master Alan', eh?" asked Castanea, causing Dinara to blush really hard.

"I-I'm not!" she exclaimed, failing to put a serious face.

"Yeah, I thought so. Girl, you fell for him so hard, I am surprised you didn't make a hole in the floor." Said the Kuriboh, causing her to blush even more.

"I-It's not like that!" said Dinara, extremely nervous, before her she just sighed in relief. "I just…want to repay him for all that he had done to me…"

"Well, he saved you 3 times, and you did one…or was it two?"

"Two. But still, what he did for me was more than I could ever do to repay him."

"And what is that?"

"He made me believe in myself." Said Dinara with a dreamy look in her face. "He told me to be myself, that I don't need to stay in the past and fear myself. I can live up and help for what I have done in the past, and be better with myself. For that, no matter how many times I save him, I will forever be grateful."

"You feel so deeply about him, right?" asked Castanea, and Dinara nodded. "Well, I know what would make him really like you."

"Really? And what is that?" asked Dinara hopefully, turning her attention fully to the Kuriboh.

"Easy: press those breasts of yours on his face every time you see him!"

Dinara blinked in confusion, not understanding what she just heard. It took a few seconds, but she finally understood…and when she did, her whole face turned as red as a tomato.

"M-MISS CASTANEA! I-I CAN'T DO SOMETHING LIKE THAT!" exclaimed a very flustered girl, so hard it almost made Castanea deaf.

"Why not?" asked the Kuriboh. "The dude is a boob pervert. If you do that to him, you will make him love you!"

"I-I can't! It's so…so…"

"Well, that is one option, girl. You would always just hug him. Just remember, Kuarzo is also in love with him, and she doesn't hesitate to press her breasts, and her whole body, on him. And the other girls are on the edge of doing that too, knowing how much he loves those." Said Castanea, pointing at Dinara's chest, leaving her thinking. "Anyway, our time is almost up. We should go and eat something and then go to sleep, girl. Tomorrow you will see your precious 'Master Alan'."

"H-hey!"

"Now that I think about it, don't tell me that the reason you call him 'Master' is, not because he is your chosen one, but because YOU want to be the submissive one."

This caused to Dinara to turn into a shade of red no one had saw before.

"M-MISS CASTANEA! IT'S NOTHING LIKE THAT!" exclaimed the white haired girl, causing the fur ball to burst into laughing.

"haha! Relax, girl. I'm just kidding. Come, let's get out of here. Our training is over."

"W-wait for me!"

And so, the two girls walked to the door. Just then, the whole place shook, making them wonder what just happened as they go out.


-Music: Destati (Kingdom Hearts III Soundtrack)-

The three Sages were sitting in a couple of chairs around a very beautiful circular table, in the middle of an equally beautiful room. It was like a Greek room, with pillars of marble and golden details, plus some made of an exotic blue stone. It was a really beautiful room, especially with a light gloom that made it seem like the moon was shining through the windows.

However, they didn't care about it, because of what the blondie mage just told them.

"A-Are you certain, miss?" asked Vivian with confusion and fear.

"I am afraid so, miss Vivian." Said blond mage. "The visions I have are normally more accurate than what other mages have, and that is the vision that I saw."

"Bullcap!" exclaimed Rubina in anger. "That won't happen! Rubina will never allow it!"

"I'm sorry, miss Rubina, but that is what I saw, and that is why I had to warn you all."

"So…is that true?" asked Sapphire.

"Yes, miss Sapphire: if you keep following this path, you will all die when you reach the Earth Crystal…"

The three girls looked at each other in fear at this revelation, not knowing what to do.

"But that can't be." Said Vivian, trying to put a more serious face. "The future is never written, right? It can change depending on our choices."

"That is true, Sage of Winds." Said the nameless mage, her eyes closed as she relaxed. "The future is not written, but it can be deduced and predicted, if the strings of events continue as they are. I can see these events and follow them until their eventual conclusion, and the one I see is not good for you: if you follow this path… Exus will be released…and you will all die in the end."

The girls looked at each other again, now even more fearful. Although Rubina was still against the idea of a future that was already written, Sapphire was more accepting of that fate, as her life in the palace and as a Sage of Water allows her to be more in tune with the visions, as she also had some of them. Rubina probably didn't had any, since her Sage training seems to be more 'wild' than hers. And Vivian was in the middle, as she wasn't fully trained as a Sage, but was on the correct path to be one, but had to leave her home before she could finish it. Sapphire wasn't sure if the Harpie Girl had any visions or not.

Being the only one who knows about visions, Sapphire know one thing was sure.

"Every vision of the future can change if we do something." Said the Sage of Water, calling everyone's attention. "What do we have to do to change the future?"

"You are right, Maiden of the Aqua." Said the blond mage, smiling a little. "There is a way. Two actually. One of them is the human that is traveling with you."

"Mister Alan?" asked Vivian. "Why is that?"

"He is…the one who defies fate: The Destroyer of Fate."

"The Destroyer…" Started Sapphire.

"…of Fate?" and ended Vivian.

"Yes, and it has to do with the being that lives inside his body." Said the blondie mage. "Lord Chaos…he defies destiny. Because that, I can't see his future, so any future that is entangled with his is unknown. However, I can predict the outcomes…and even with him, your destiny will lead to your end. However…there is another way…"

"And what is that way?" Sapphire asked again, now making her two friends to look at the pink haired mage.

The blondie mage just sighed.

"The way to change the future is…"

-Music End-


Alan was send flying before falling on the ground and hard. His body was full of bruises, and his karate uniform was heavily damaged, as the top Gi was completely destroyed, leaving him in his black t-shirt, minus the sleeves. The white pants were also damaged, with the left leg gone below the knee, and the right one was filled with holes. He groaned in pain, as he was depleted of energy, having used everything he had.

Meanwhile, David was mostly ok. His uniform had some bruises, but nothing like what Alan had.

"Well, seems like we are done here." Said David, releasing a heavy sigh, relaxing a little. "I have to say, you have advanced so much in these days, and you have forced me to take this more serious. Well done, Alan…however, you are not strong enough to beat Exus."

The human heard this and groaned a little.

"Yes, even as you have become stronger, you won't be able to beat Exus." Continued David. "You may be as strong as Master Duncan or Strum were when they entered the Library, but not enough to face the Dark Sorcerer. It will be better if you put all of your energy to prevent the destruction of the crystals. Anyway, if you keep training, you will become stronger. However, this is the end of the training. Now, go to sleep and rest, so you can recover your-"

"Not yet…!"

David looked at Alan, seeing that the human was, with difficulty, standing up. He was shaking, and his head was low, looking at the ground, not letting David to see his eyes. He was breathing hard, as his body screamed in pain, and yet, he refused to stay down.

"I can…still…fight…" said Alan, taking a step forward, but he was still shaking. David just sighed.

"I applaud your perseverance, Alan, but it's no use. Your body reached your limit, and even if your Heart is still full of energy, you can´t use it, since your body is in shambles. If you don´t rest, you will have life threaten injuries."

"I…don't…care! I can…still…fight…!"

David looked at Alan with intrigue. There was something…familiar in his appearance, something that told him that he had to push him a little more. Because of that feeling, David decided to push it, and extended his right hand forward, gathering energy in it.

"Look, you don't need to push it this bad. You already overcome your limits, and reached a new high, so… just give it up."

"…"

"No words? Ok then, this is my last attack. If you don't evade it, you will be knocked down. So, Alan, take this! HADOKEN!"

Using only one hand, David released a fully powered Hadoken towards Alan. The comet flew fast towards the human, who…didn't moved away. Alan was just standing there, still trying to keep himself from falling down. However, he didn't care about that, as he only had one thing in mind.

'I can't…give up… I can´t… I can't… I can't… I CAN'T GIVE UP!'

-Music: Ultra Instinct (Dragon Ball Super Soundtrack)-

Suddenly, Alan summoned his Flames of Chaos Keyblade… and with one movement, he destroyed the Hadoken from David, something that confused the mage so much.

'What?! He destroyed my Hadoken? How? His body couldn't handle any mo-' David though, before he felt it. 'This…is that…?'

Alan's aura suddenly flared up…however, it was golden, not his usual blue one. The pressure of this aura was way bigger than his normal one, and it cause the wind to rush away from him, like it was a storm. David saw this and knew what it was…specially when Alan raised his head to look at him…

…with his silver eyes and golden emblem on his forehead.

"I will… I will NOT give up!" exclaimed Alan, as he stood on guard, almost refreshed, while his aura flared up even more, almost pushing David back.

The mage just looked at him with complete seriousness, not removing his eyes from him. After a few seconds, he smiled.

"I see…" said David, as he looked at Alan's aura. "So your power is now strong enough to unleash your Stellar Form."

"Stellar…Form?" asked Alan, as he looked at David with his silver eyes.

"Yes. That is the name of that form. It's interesting, because by my calculations, you should NOT be able to transform. And yet, here it is, even if it is just by accident."

"So…this power…the power that I used when battling Fakexus…is called Stellar Form? And what do you mean by accident?"

"Your body is almost on its limit, so you are on the verge of exhaustion. In that moment, you managed to reach and activate the Stellar Form, which allows your body to use more of your unlimited energy, as it makes your body more suitable to use its power. In your final moments, just before you blacked out, you managed to activate it…but it won't last long."

"Uh?"

"Your body is still not ready, so this form will only last a couple of minutes at most. Once your transformation runs out, you will faint from exhaustion." Said David, before sighing. "It's unfortunate. If you stayed for another month, you will be able to control that form with ease."

"Then… I should stay in here more time, no? Train another week?"

David just shook his head.

"No, we don't have the time." Said the mage. "We used a spell on this room to extend the time, and it is about to run out. Once it runs out, we won't be able to use that spell for another month or so. A spell that changes the flow of time in a certain place uses so much energy. Besides, our time on this world is about to run out. Soon, we will have to jump into another world, were we will continue to recollect more knowledge."

"I…I see." Said Alan, as he just sighed, although he still keep the form.

"Do not worry. We will return here, but it will take time. Our stay on this world was always limited."

David smiled a little…before turning more serious.

"Anyway…" said the older mage. "…since you have managed to reach that level…you should get used to it. It will be a shame if we let it to waste."

"What do you mean?" asked Alan in confusion.

"I mean… that I shall fight seriously this time."

Alan opened his eyes in surprise.

"You mean…you haven't been fighting serious all this time?!" asked Alan.

"More or less." Said David. "In reality, I was just suppressing my energy, while using an illusion spell so you won't see the 'true' form I am using."

"True…form? What do you mean?"

"You see, Alan. Just like you: I am also transformed."

"What?!"

"What if I just show you then?"

David closed his eyes and relaxed, before shouting something.

"DISPELL!"

Suddenly, like if reality just broke up, the image of David shattered like glass, revealing…another David, but this time, there was something different.

This time…he had silver eyes…and a golden emblem on the forehead.

Suddenly, his aura flared up, this time golden, as it pushed Alan backwards a little, even if he was using his own form. Its power was overwhelming.

"Wait, what?!" asked Alan in surprise. "Is that…?"

"This is my Stellar Form, Alan." Said David, as he powered up a little more. "I was actually transformed like this since we started this battle, as I said I will use my full power. However, I was concealing my power and using an illusion spell so you won't be able to detect it."

"I-I though only Keyblade Champions could use that fo-… wait… don't you mean…?"

David just smiled with some arrogance, before he extended his hand forward…and a blinding light caused Alan to close his eyes for a few seconds, before opening them again. To his surprise, once he saw David again, he saw in his right hand a weapon… a sword…

…a Keyblade…

"Ah, it's been a while since I used this." Said David, looking at his weapon. "It's been a while, old friend."

"You are…?" asked Alan in surprise.

"I am Master David, a retired Keyblade Champion from the last Galaxian War from 10,000 years ago. I gave up my title and Keyblade powers when I used the spell that surrounds this Library to cause it to jump between worlds. I can still use my Keyblade, but only for a few moments, so I keep it resting on the center of this Library. However, I think this battle is worthy of me using it again."

Alan got in guard, knowing this will be a very hard battle. David smiled, before he raised his Keyblade, holding it in front of his face, and looked at it with nostalgia.

"Are you ready, old friend?" David asked to his Keyblade. "We will face the younger generation of Keyblade Champions for this age, so we shall not go easy on him. Ready for a small battle after almost 8,000 years of resting?"

As if answering, David's Keyblade began to glow, and David smiled even more. His aura flared up again, and pushed Alan back, even if he was trying to keep himself in place.

"Amazing!" Alan exclaimed in surprise. For some reason, his blood began boil in excitement, something he normally doesn't do since he really didn't like fighting back on Earth.

"Are you ready, Alan?" asked David. "This time, I WILL fight seriously."

"Master David, before we start, I want to ask you something."

"What is it, Alan?"

"…what is your Keyblade's name?"

David smiled again.

"Magic from the Chaos."

"What?" asked Alan in confusion. "Master David…what Spellcaster are you?"

"I originally was a Dark Magician myself. However, I have evolved in this library. Now…"

Suddently, David's clothes glowed for a few seconds, before changing. Now, he wore clothes similar to Dark Magician, although with some other elements.

"I am… a Magician of Chaos."

Alan blinked in confusion.

"Ok, those clothes are WAY cooler than Duncan's Dark Magician ones. However, I do know of the Dark Magician of Chaos AND Magician of Dark Chaos, but I don't know of any Magician of Chaos. Must be a new evolution."

"It was thanks to the library's knowledge, Alan." Said David, before getting on guard. "Now. Ready, Alan?"

"Ready!" exclaimed the human, before powering up and holding his Keyblade.

The two men looked at each other, before the human decided he'll be the first to act, as he dashed towards the mage. David only smiled, thinking of the past, before he went defensive.

Both Keyblades clashed to each other, creating a large shockwave that shook the whole Library.


-Music: Night of the Dark Realm (Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Final Mix Soundtrack)-

The nameless blondie mage just sighed.

It's been an hour or so that she talked to the Sages of Wind, Water and Thunder, and told them what they need to do. The future is not set in stone, but you can predict it if you know where to see. In her case, she can see those events in her mind, in her dreams, and those always told her where to go and do. It happens since she was a kid, and that was the reason why she was here: to perfect her abilities. She had managed to see the future of everyone she has laid her eyes on, with some little inconsistencies, but mostly, her predictions were set on.

…all on them…except one…

…the vessel of Chaos himself.

She sighed again. She knew about Lord Chaos and how he will arrive. She was one of the mages that predicted who will be his vessel and where he will arrive in this world. She was so sure of it.

However, when the vessel, the human named Alan, rejected his destiny and instead sealed Chaos inside him after punching the fire deity, she was mostly surprised. Never in her life has someone challenged the fate she saw for them, even when they decided to challenge that fate. In the end, all of them fulfill their fate…but not this human.

His fate was supposed to arrive there and meet HER. Instead, he meets the Dark Magician Girl Kristal, on the continent of Asgan, close to the Wind Temple. She just smiled. For some reason, she believed the meeting of those two was the TRUE destiny, even if her visions told her otherwise.

That human…was an enigma. She kept on trying to see into his future, but every time she tries to see it, she came up empty handed. She does see the future of those that surround him, and she CAN see their fates…however, there is now a shadow of doubt in her visions: if a person meets this human, their fate is no longer 100 percent secure. It's like his whole presence is warping the future of everyone close by.

Not for nothing Chaos is called the Destroyer of Fate…but this human also challenged his own fate.

He truly is the perfect vessel for Lord Chaos.

However, something bothered her now. She saw the future of those close to him, the patterns of events that will happen to them, and all end on the same future: death. She can't see his future, but if everyone around him dies, is probably he will too.

She looked at the crystal ball in her room one more time, before she just sighed again.

"I see…so even after all this, the future still doesn't change." Said the female mage, looking once more to her crystal ball. "This is worry some."

"I agree."

The girl looked up to the door of her room, and saw the face of a green robed magician, that she knew.

"Oh, is that you, Strum?" asked the woman, her eyes, that normally show some boredom, shined a little. "I though you wouldn't visit me before you left."

"Sorry, I was training." Said Strum, as he was leaning on the wall. "It's been a while, girl. Last time I saw you, you were just a kid, five or six years at most."

"And you were an apprentice, assigned to take me here with your team." The blondie mage said. "Your team, from all of the ones in the academy, were the chosen ones for that job."

"What can I say? I am extremely lucky."

"No…it was destiny."

"You know I don't believe that the future is written. We can change our own destiny."

"I hope you are right, Strum."

"Anyway…" he said, as she walked towards the table and sit on one of the chairs. "Tell me what you said to the Sages. About this unavoidable future of yours."

The Blondie girl just nodded, and she began to explain everything she told to Vivian, Sapphire and Rubina. Strum stood there, just hearing what the girl said.

"I see. So it IS very important." Said the older mage.

"Yes, and that is why I asked them their help." Said the girl, looking down.

"So… has it changed?" asked Strum, this time completely serious.

"Uh?" asked the woman in confusion.

"My future, the one you saw years ago. Have it changed?"

The girl just sighed, before denying with her head.

"No, your future still remains, Strum."

"I see… oh well, good to know I don't believe in that stuff THAT much." Said Strum, shrugging as he looked to the 'window'. "And the one you just saw? The one you said to the Sages?"

"…It's bad…" said the girl. "Really, really bad…"

"That bad?"

"Yes…"

"Then change it! The future is not written! We can make our own future!"

"I want to believe in it…"

"Do it. That is how I have lived." Said Strum, before sighting and standing up, moving towards the door. "Sorry, but I got to go. Need to discuss what you just told me to Duncan and see what to do next. I just wanted to say hi, and wish you good luck. I just hope it won't be another twelve years before we see each other again."

As Strum walked to the door, the woman looked at his back in fear, before she stood up and ran towards him.

"Wait!" exclaimed the woman, causing him to stop.

"What is it?"

The woman then reached for something that was, surprisingly, inside her cleavage: a medallion, round with the image of a feather in it. She then offered it to Strum, who arched an eyebrow in confusion.

"You are giving me a medallion that was between your breasts? I am honored, but you are WAY too young for me, girl." Said Strum with some mischievousness, causing the blondie mage to blush a little.

"I-It's not like that!" she said shyly. "It has my powers. I hope it helps you in the future."

"Oh?" said Strum with intrigue, before taking the medallion and looking at it. "Well, I hope it gives me good luck." He said, as he took his had to put the medallion below his clothes, so no one could look at it. "And well, you know what to do?"

"…I do, Strum. I know what to do."

"So…are you going to finally tell me your name?" asked Strum. "I want to know the name of the girl we escort here."

The blondie girl just smiled.

"You will know my name tomorrow, Mister Strum. And you won't expect it."

"I kinda do, already. After all, you look JUST like her. Your illusion spell won't work on me."

"Oh? You saw throught it? The Sages didn't."

"They don't know about how magic works. I can see, and you just look like her, so I kind of know how you are." Said the older mage, before he turned again to walk towards the door. "Well then, my job here is done. I hope to see you later, girl."

And with that, Strum decided to leave, closing the door, leaving the blond mage to her own thoughts. Then, a tear rolled from her eyes.

"I think…after tomorrow…I won't be able to see you again…" she said, as she sat on her bed and cried.

End of Chapter 42

Chapter 43 Preview:

Alan: Hello! Alan here! It's finally our time to go. It was fun, but we must continue our travel. The Crystal awaits!

?: Wait! I...I have a mission for you all.

Alan: Wait...are you...?

Don't miss the next chapter of The N-Warriors: Shadow Realm Saga: Unexpected meetings and goodbyes

Alan: Even if we are going into different paths...our hearts are connected!


Author Notes:

AND DONE! I hope you all liked this!

So, the final training day, after the next chapter, it will be back to the quest. Everyone is getting stronger.

Duncan made sure Steve got in form again.

Kristal, Kuarzo and Iridia training with Hinoka, and trying to forma bond between them. Also, what does Hinoka mean when she said Iridia's eneergy was similar to Kuarzo and Kristal?

Oh? What was this 'form' that Dinara said she just got? Is it a new Blue Eyes transformation?

And who is the blondie mage that meet the Sages? And why does Strum know her? What does he mean when he said his mission was to send her here?

Oh! David WAS an older Keyblade Champion, eh? Well David appeared in the old version of my fanfic, and in that, he was also a retired Keyblade Champion, although this time he can still use his powers...only not THAT much. Unfortunately, Alan didn't train with his 'Stellar Form', so he'll have to do so without it. He was still way stronger than when he started. You'll see next time.

Well, I hope you like this. And as a reminder, I will post new chapters either late Monday or early Tuesday. I'll see you all next week, hopefully.

See ya next time!
