A boy with messy black hair and emerald green eyes was looking around his surroundings in a small maze. in his hands was his weapon. A Keyblade. His Keyblade was pitch black. its pommel and guard resemble black, demonic wings. The base of the blade is an etching of a dragon.A emerald green catlike eye was near the teeth which was a battle axe split into three almost claw-like protrusions. The keychain is a black charm with another green eye embedded in the token. his outfit consists of a green t-shirt and a black jacket. Blue jeans and his shoes.
He ducked underneath a blizzard spell before he blocked a strike from another keyblade. The Keyblade belong to a Red headed girl about his age. Her keyblade was round and curvaceous to the point of appearing harmless. One side of the hilt is formed in the shape of a breaking ocean wave, while the other is formed into a beige vine of sand that wraps around the shaft, which is colored to resemble a sunset. The vine connects to a bouquet of colorful flowers, which form the teeth of the key and entwine to outline a heart. A red silken keychain connects the hilt to the star fruit token.(Destiny's Embrace). Her outfit is a white top with a black one underneath, purple shorts underneath a purple skirt with a blue belt, and white shoes. She also wears a black choker, a yellow wristband as well as a purple arm band on her left arm and a pair of bracelets on her right arm.
Before long, The two begin hitting each others blades. "Go!" shouted the girl firing a orb of light but the boy fired a ball of fire to cancel out the orb of light. The girl then jumped in the air as did the boy before they fought in the air. The boy managed to disarm the girl before kicking her down to the ground. She slid on her feet as the boy raised his blade ready to strike her but the girl re-summoned her keyblade and blocked the strike.
"And that's enough" said a man's voice as the two lowered their weapons and looked over to Master Eraqus. He along with the rest of the students were watching their spar. Terra Dohring, The oldest of the apprentice he was now Twenty. a tall young man with brown hair that reaches to the base of his neck in the back and is styled into rather messy, vertical spikes and bangs that frame his face. He has blue eyes and slightly tanned skin. He wears two intersecting straps over his chest, though his red ones are rather different, dropping much lower down and almost resembling criss-crossed suspenders., He does not wear his badge (which is gold as opposed to the others' silver) on these straps. Instead, he wears it on his belt. He wears a skintight, black, high-collared shirt, showing that he is rather muscular. His pants bear a distinct feudal Japanese style; his belt is tied like an obi-sash and he wears hakama (traditional samurai pants distinguished by the large pleats). His hakama are dark grey near the top, with several loops for his belt and two buttons, both of which are undone. The rest of the pants are tan with a small, lighter stripe of tan on the bottom hem, wears a plain black wristband on his right arm, while his left arm is significantly more armored.
Next to him was Aqua Holland who was Eighteen. she has a tall and slender figure,standing a few inches shorter than Terra. She has blue eyes and medium-length blue hair, mostly parted to her left. She wears a black and navy blue, high-collared halter top, a black corset with two pairs of white laces and black shorts. She has two pink straps intersecting over her chest, with a silver badge similar to badges also worn by Ven and Terra over the intersection. On Aqua's arms are white bell-sleeves and tan, fingerless gloves. She also wears a small, segmented piece of armor on each of her upper arms. She wears black stockings reaching about halfway up her thighs, leaving a small area of bare skin. There are two strips of blue cloth draped over each of her hips, along with a smaller, white strip of cloth tied around her waist and draped in the same manner. Her silver boots are pointed and armored, with a sharp "hook" on the outer side of each.
Beside Her was Ventus McCartney and Vanitas Osment. Both Sixteen and have just recieved their keyblade armor from their masters. Ventus had small blonde spikey hair. His jacket was black and white. his collar of the jacket is red and pleated,Underneath he is wearing what appears to be a grey vest with a single button and several white, angular patterns on it. He wears a third layer under this, in the form of a plain, high-necked, black shirt. He also has a chunk of dull green and grey armor on his midsection that appears to be under his vest, and another piece of armor on his left shoulder. His pants are light grey though its balloon outward slightly before closing up about halfway down his legs, similar to caprice pants. These pants are colored in shades of grey, black, and white. He also wears an ornate, dull green and grey piece of armor on his upper-left arm, along with a black and white checkered wristband that is, once again, strikingly Like Aqua, he wears two criss-crossing straps on his chest, on which he wears a silver Heart emblem. His boots are rather odd, as they resemble an armored version of normal street shoes in shades of dull green and grey.
And Vanitas with black spikey hair, Green Eyes and pale skin. His outfit was a hoodie is completely black with red lining but has neon blue patches on his shoulder. His black pants have green straps across them along with a patch of navy blue and silver edges. His undershirt is Red with a silver patch in the center with a black belt under it. blue pockets appear on the sides of the pants with a black cross over them. His gloves also black, have a white inside with a yellow line running around them. His shoes was apart of his organic amror since he uses the Darkness.
"You both are improving, Very well done but you mustn't allow for errors especially if you are fighting for your lives Harry, Kairi" Master Eraqus said to his two pupils.
"Yes Master" said Harry and Kairi in unison bowing their heads. Since their arrival to the land of Departure. Harry and Kairi lived here and learned the ways of the Keyblade. They had just started their training and have only mastered to connect with their blade and the basic spells of Fire, Blizzard, Water and Cure.
"And Kairi, That spell you used was amazing, what spell was that?" asked Aqua looking at her with a genuine smile. She was a natural at magic just like her. "Oh i call it Flower Shot, its an upgrade of my Pearl Spell" said Kairi.
"As Keyblade Wielders, you must find your own way to fight, By using your light Kairi is a perfect example just as i rely on my Darkness." said Vanitas ruffling her hair.
"Come on Sora, is that the best you got?" asked a boy's voice.
"Not a chance Riku!" said another before the five looked over to another area far away from them. Fighting each other was two boys. The first boy had brown spiky hair and blue eyes that were just like the sky. his attire is a red jumpsuit with puffy shorts with a long zipper, white gloves with blue, black and yellow straps, and large black-and-yellow shoes. In addition, he wore a black hoodie with white sleeves and a blue inside over his jumpsuit and a loose blue belt with a crown-chain hanging on the left side of his shorts. He wears the crown pendant around his neck. In his hand was a Keyblade called the Kingdom Key. the blade silver and the hilt gold. a mouse keychain on the end of it. His name is Sora Osment and he is Vanita's little brother and he was the same age as Harry and Kairi.
The boy he was fighting was his Best Friend Riku Galleghar, He was born from the same World as Sora and Vanitas. Destiny Island. His silver hair reaches just above his shoulders. He is more muscular and taller than Sora, and has paler skin. He wears a vest that is yellow in front and black on the back, and blue jeans under large blue wading pants, secured by black straps at the ankles. He wears stylistically large blue and grey shoes, with two straps, and yellow accents. In his hands was his Keyblade Way of the Dawn. The Way to the Dawn greatly resembles the Soul Eater, but the once curved wing is now straight, and the Keyblade's guard is composed of one angelic wing and one demonic wing, similar to the guards of Sora's Oathkeeper and Oblivion Keychains, respectively. Also, a dark angelic wing has been added to the top of the original blade of the Soul Eater to act as the teeth of the key. Its token is the Heartless Emblem, He is a year older than Sora, Harry and Kairi. Both boys clashed with their weapons.
"There they go again" sighed a girl who looked alot like Kairi only she had black hair. She wears a sleeveless double buttoned, collared shirt and a black belt, with a short white skirt under the shirt and black boots that reach halfway to her knees with a beige color to the upper fifth, Xion Stoner was her name and she was from Twilight Town. she's the same age as Riku and Namine.. She too is a Wielder of the Keyblade which hers is named Dawn till Dusk.
"Yep, there at it again." Roxas muttered. Ventus's little brother said taking a seat next to Xion. He is identical to Ventus only his hair was shorter and was darker brown than Ventus. He wore a black, high-collared jacket with a zipper resembling the Nobody symbol. Over this, he wore another jacket, this one unzipped and white, with several black block designs and a grey hem on the end of each sleeve. This jacket's collar was red and pleated and folded back. two-colored pants; the legs of his pants were beige with several of what looked like buttons on the hem that appeared to attach the legs to the rest of the cloth, which were dark-colored. his shoes were colored in shades of grey and black, and had red straps in place of laces. He wore a wrist band with a black-and-white checkerboard pattern on his left wrist, as well as a plain black ring on his left index finger and a plain white ring on his left middle finger. He too was the same age as Riku, Namine and Xion. He also had the ability to duel wield keyblades which were called Oblivion and Oathkeeper.
He was holding a Keyblade with a noticeably sharp edge. Its color scheme is derived from a fusion of two keyblades called Oathkeeper and Oblivion, and the handle is composed of the same checkerboard pattern on the boy's wristband. The Keyblade's design is also covered with references to Roxas's Nobody nature; the usual Nobody thorns make up the teeth and rainguard, which is black and rounded. The chain links are heavily stylized versions of the Nobody Emblem, and the full Nobody Emblem adorns the hilt. The token itself is Roxas's Nobody-thorn charm. (Two Become One)
" Those two are training to become Keyblade Masters, Got it Memorized?" said a teen with red spikey hair with a smirk. He was leaning next to her with a smirk. His attire was a long sleeveless hooded black vest, a sleeveless dark gray and red plaid button-down shirt with a short-sleeve black shirt underneath, and blackish-red pants and black mid-calf boots. his name is Lea Flynn and his Keyblade is one called Flame Liberator. He is Seventeen.
"Really Lea. why must you always say that?" asked a teen with blue hair with an X-scar on his face. He wears a long-sleeved, knee-length high-low black jacket with black pants. The jacket has a short front zipper on either side and a column of five buttons on a dark gray flap next to a long zipper down the middle. his jacket, its sleeves, and his pants have gray camouflage patterning along the sides, though it is wider on the sides of the jacket. Isa Thornson and he came with Lea and Namine from their homeworld of Radiant Garden and lives with them here at the Land of Departure. He uses A Claymore called Lunantic. He too is also Seventeen.
"Come on Isa, what did i saw before we moved here from Radiant Garden with Namine. I want everyone here to remember me." joked Lea.
'Yeah yeah sure" Said Isa rolling his eyes at his friend. A small smile he had on his face. Sitting beside them was a blonde haired girl with pale skin blue eyes. Her attire is a white dress that ends at her thighs in an embroidered lace pattern and light blue sandals decorated with yellow flowers. She was drawing in her sketchbook as she looked up from her drawing watching the two cousins fight. She giggled before going back to her drawing. Namine Snow, the Daughter of Ansem the Wise, Sage King of Radiant Garden was chosen by the Keyblade as well.
Sora and Riku continued their spar until Sora manage to disarm Riku of his keyblade winning the duel. "Now we're even!" Sora cheered with a grin.
"Don't get cocky Sora." Terra siad crossing his arms while Aqua and the girls giggle at Sora.
"Sorry Terra" Said Sora bowing his head.
Besides, Not like riku will win the next one anyway" Terra said with a smirk earning a glare from Sora. "what's that supposed to mean!" he asked with a glare before everyone began to laugh at the younger Osment.
"No Worries sora, Your getting stronger but your still a sap" Riku said with a smirk. "Hey!" He said mocking like he was a bit hurt earning a chuckle from everyone.
"Come, let us return to the castle for Dinner, We been training all day." Eraqus said to his pupils as they moved towards the castle. Life was peaceful here at the Land of Departure but since they are Keyblade Wielders, they were sent out by their Masters to other worlds and make sure the balance remained, protecting the six pure hearts besides Kairi and sealing the world's Keyholes. One world that they would always go to The Caribbean because Sora loved being a Pirate and he had his own Ship. The Leviathan gifted to him from the goddess Calypso. The Apprentices have made many friends from many different worlds.
The wielders arrived back to the castle as they headed for the Dining room while Aqua and Kairi helped Eraqus make dinner for everyone while the rest of them chat. Xehanort came in and took his spot at the head of the table. "How goes the research Master Xehanort?" asked Xion looking at him.
"My crew and I have been put on hiatus, We have learned so much about the Keyblade War since our discovery at the Keyblade Graveyard, Xemnas and the Organization are recording all the data with Ansem the Wise and his team back at Radiant Garden" Xehanort replied to her when Kairi and Aqua brought in a Roast Ham, Mashed potatoes, Corn, Carrots and a salad.
"Lets eat!" said everyone before fixing themselves a plate and digging in while getting into conversations. When the meal came to a close. Xehanort shot Eraqus a look before he said. "Now would be the time to tell them"
Eraqus nodded before he stood up and tapped his glass making all eyes turn to them. "Now before we all retire to our rooms for the evening, Master Xehanort and i have an announcement for Aqua and Terra."
Aqua and Terra looked at the masters wondering what was the announcement, "Tomorrow, you both will be taking your Mark of Mastery Exam."
Both their eyes widen before Terra asked. "Are you sure we're ready master?"
"You both have trained hard over the years and it is time for you to show us if you have the Mark." said Xehanort.
"Come on Terra, Aqua. you guys are going to become Masters." said Ventus encouraging his friends. The others agreed with Ventus before the two smiled and looked at their masters."Alright, we'll take the test."
"Very well. In the morning, we shall hold the Mark of Mastery Exam. I will send word to Master Yen Sid as well as Ansem the Wise." Eraqus said with a smile. "You're all dismissed for the night."
"Yes Master" said the group before they all retired to their rooms. That night Harry wide awake in his bed looking outside the window. His thoughts to the dream he has of a Man with jet black hair and blue eyes and a Red haired women with bright green eyes like his. Both of them were holding him and Kairi before the dream became a nightmare and a dark robed figure came in and a bright green flash came and he would wake up everytime after the green flash. Kairi also has the same dream as him.
Sitting up he saw several twinkles of star go by his window. "A meteor shower!" He exclaimed. Getting dressed in his clothes he quietly sneak out until he reached the castle entrance. "The summit is the best place to go." He said before walking up the path to the mountain summit. Reaching the summit. He saw Kairi, Sora, Roxas and Ventus sitting together watching the meteor shower.. "Hey," said Harry getting their attention.
"Hey" said the four as Harry took a seat beside Kairi . It was silent as the five wielders watch the stars until Ventus leaned back a bit only to see Aqua towering over him. "WHOA!"
He turned to see Aqua, one of his best friends, giggling at him. "Gimme a break, Aqua." Said Ventus. The others turned and saw Aqua and Xion laughing at Ven's remark. "
"Ven, you hopeless sleepyhead. You know you should have at least brought a few blankets for everyone." Said Aqua with a giggle before taking a seat on the other side of him. "Hey, you guys came to see the Meteor Shower too?" asked Riku coming up to them with Lea, Isa, Namine, Terra and Vanitas. The group was silent watching the meteor shower until it ended. Harry let out a big yawn before Terra asked "You tired Harry?"
"Yeah a little," Said Harry but everyone saw it in his eyes it was something else. "Did you have that Dream again Harry?" asked Aqua before moving over and was beside him. Putting her hand over his forehead he said. "But i keep wondering about mine and Kairi's original homeworld, Who were the couple we keep seeing in our dream.. "
Aqua smiled softly to him before she said. "You two have always lived with us. Since Kingdom Hearts brought you to us when you were babies"
"There are many worlds out there, one of them is bound to be your guys homeworld," said Vanitas gesturing to the stars.
"Every star up there is another world." Terra finished. The friends turned to him. "Yep, hard to believe there are so many worlds out there besides our own. The light is there hearts, and it's shining down on us like a million lanterns."
"What? I don't get it." Said Ven. Terra just smirked and said, "In other words, they're just like you Ven."
"What does THAT mean?" Sora asked. He was also l confused like. "You'll find out soon." Terra responded.
"I wanna know now." Said Ven. "Your too young to know now." Said Terra.
"Quit treating me like a kid." Said Ven. He was 16, and they still treat him like he's still 10. Aqua couldn't help but laugh. "Hey, what are you laughing at?" asked Terra.
"I can't help it. You two would make the weirdest brothers." Said Aqua as she continued to laugh. The two were confused until they got what she meant and laughed with her with everyone else. After what felt like hours, they continued to enjoy each others company. Sora's hand intertwined with Kairi's as she put her head on his shoulder.
"Oh that reminds me, I made Good luck charms for everyone" Aqua said before pulling out several star shaped tokens in different colors and handed one each to the gang minus Kairi. Sora with dark red, Vanitas with black, Riku with purple, Lea with orange red one, Isa with light blue. Namine with white, Terra with orange, Harry and ven with green, Xion and Roxas with Silver,
"You made them to look like the Paopu fruit right Aqua?" asked Riku looking at Aqua after looking at his lucky charm.
Yes, the fruit represents an unbreakable connection. So as long you and your friends carry good luck charms shaped like it nothing can ever drive you apart. You'll always find your way back to each other. Technically, I think you're supposed to make them with seashells, but I did with best with I had." Aqua explained. "Oy, sometimes you are such a girl." Said Vanitas in a teasing manner.
"Hey, what do you mean 'sometimes'?" Aqua said back with the same tone. Sora and Roxas however looked disappointed. "So this isn't a real good luck charm?" they asked.
"Well, that's yet to be seen." Aqua answered honestly. "But I did work a little magic on it."
"Really? What?" Harry asked. "An unbreakable connection." Aqua said with a smile, with that everyone raised their new wayfinder in the air.
"We better head inside, We got a big day tomorrow." Terra said. Everyone nodded before heading back down to the castle to get some shut eye.
-Earth-
Albus Dumbledore, Minerva McGonagall, Cornelius Fudge, Severus Snape and a few other witches and wizards were standing in the Headmaster's office as the quill enchanted by Rowena Ravenclaw began writing on the various envelopes. They had searched for Harry and Kairi Potter for years since they were taken by the Mysterious moon.
It had been a pain to keep the media occupied so they could search for the Twins Who Lived. , but they were hoping they could finally find out where they lived before word got out. Dumbledore had tried every method of tracking the children, without success.
He had used their hair, but it hadn't worked. He didn't have any more of the children's blood either, so that was not an option, having used all of it to erect the protective enchantments around Number Four, Privet Drive so many years ago but since the children were taken, the wards were useless. Letters with tracking charms were returned unopened almost immediately as the owls were confused; no doubt there were anti-mail wards around the place for any letter sent with a tracking charm. Even Fawkes didn't seem to know where the children were, so Dumbledore was sure the place was not ordinary. None of the Death Eaters seemed to have them, from what Severus had gathered, so they were quite curious about where he could be.
"Albus, look!" cried McGonagall excitedly.
Dumbledore watched with bated breath as the ancient quill began writing on the parchment.
Mr Harry J Potter,
Third Bedroom of the East Wing.
The Land of Departure.
Miss. Kairi L Potter.
Second bedroom of the West Wing.
The Land of Departure.
"What in the name of Le Fey is the Land of Departure?" asked Minister Fudge looking at them never hearing about the place.
"Who knows minister, this place sounds like its not from this world." said Amelia Bones. The head of the DMLE. She wears a monocle over her left eye and like the others wore a black ministry robe.
"Thank Merlin they are alive," breathed a man with blonde hair and icy blue eyes. A woman next to him with jet black hair agreed as she placed a hand over her heart. "Let us bring them home." Dumbledore said although he was thinking. /Finally, My plans are finally being brought back into fruition. Due to the small cutback it shouldn't take long for me to convince the two with my grandfather persona for them to go live with the Dursleys. All is for the Greater Good that i become the greatest Wizard to ever live!/.
Hidden in the crowd was a man in a black coat studying Dumbledore. /Interesting, This man may be the one i have been waiting on. The Dark Master foretold in the Book of Prophecies. The Master will return once i convince him to Reforge the ancient Twin of the χ-blade and to unlock Kingdom Hearts with it/ thought the man watching as the group of Witches and Wizards prepare to retrieve the Potter Twins.

Next chapter will be the meeting between the Keyblade Wielders and the wizards and Witches.
