Guardian of Nobodies
If anyone correctly guessed who the Amazon/Sailor Quartet are from last chapter, way to go! If not, Keep reading my chapters as new clues will pop up from time to time. The whole making Phooey real/saving him, needed for the story progression. As Donald's nophews have important roles. Also I am mixing various iterations of Huey, Dewey, and Louie for this fic as well as Webby. Della will be mostly her 2017 counterpart with a few liberties taken. Huey, Dewey, and Louie will mostly have a mix of their Quack Pack, Classic 1980's, and 2017 personalities. Yes I included Boyd, Violet, and Lena. As well as saved Lena early. This was intentional! Since Nehellenia is going to be good in this story and one who helps Helios watch over Elysian, I needed and evil witch to side with Xehanort and Luxu. Who better than Magica DeSpell?
Chapter 5: Return of Jadite and Zoisite!:
It was two weeks before Cassie's 12th birthday and she was sitting in the Castle Lounge reading a book. It was one of the Journals that she discovered were Luxu's and Xehanort's. In it they were describing their plans for the Keyblade War. She made a note to tell Ventus and Vanitas what she had found. It was for the War that destroyed Daybreak Town. Idly she wondered, Was Twilight Town the rebuilt Daybreak Town or was it it's polar opposite? She shrugged and decided to think on it later. Ventus came in with a couple of soda's handing one to his sister and keeping one for himself. He picked up a different Journal and began to read it. That was something the two often did. Just sit in the room and read together. Sometimes they would comment on what they were reading but the pair sat in comfortable silence most days. Just content to be in each other's presence. Vanitas however was playing a game of Pool with Hermione who he had to admit was a real Pool Shark. The two became friends simply by gaming together or training in the training room.
Daphne and Draco were often studying the various spell scrolls and books in the library. Demyx was chilling in his room working on perfecting some new songs to play when they recovered his Zexion. The Melodious Nocturne had to admit, he missed his Cloaked Schemer. Xemnas tried to say they didn't have Hearts, but Demyx found a book that said Nobodies so long as they acted on memories of their emotions, a new Heart would form for them over time. It hurt knowing how much Xemnas kept from them in order to get what he wanted.
Cassie looked up from her reading as did Ventus when Artemis' voice breached the room, "Cassie, Ventus we have a situation in a World called Heroic Requium. In it is heroes such as Black Panther, Captain America, Iron Man, and many more. A signal from Organization Thirteen was cropped up on the computers. Selene is gathering the others." The siblings marked their places in the journals and sat at attention.
.
The rest of their group came into the Lounge as Selene a silver furred feline with indigo eyes and a gold crescent moon mark said, "I have been monitoring the computers this morning. So when I came across the signal of Number 11 the Graceful Assassin, his power resonated with the signal for the Heavenly King known as Jadeite." Demyx said, "I'll go and take Cassie and Artemis with me. Easier to have someone he knows explain." Selene said, "Very well Demyx. Please return the second of Prince Roran's guards."
Cassie was dressed in her usual battle outfit of a silver shirt, a white cropped jacket, light blue pants, white sneakers, a grey belt with a buckle with the symbol of Kingdom Hearts on it, a pair of silver belt pouches, and dove grey fingerless gloves. Her raven hair was pulled into a braid tied with a white ribbon.
Demyx chuckled as he walked down the streets to where Selene said he was. Which was the Xaiver Institute for Gifted Youngsters. Demyx hit the buttom on com and said, "Hi my name is Daniel and I have my charge Cassie with me. We were told an aqauintance of ours with natural pink hair was in this place." The gate opened up to reveal a beautiful manor. In the Lunarian Language Cassie commented, "Reminds me of the villa Roran and I spent the third anniversary of our Bond Awakening at two years before the fall. It's lovely." Demyx replied in the same Language, "Indeed. It also reminds me of the Manor us four Heavenly Kings as well as Elena and Sabrina lived in on the Palace grounds. We could have lived in the Palace but we were far too independant. I can tell Professor Xaiver made a wonderful school. No child should be hated for things beyond their control." They were met by Ororo Munroe otherwise known as Storm who led them to the Professor's Office where Marluxia was waiting. Jean Gray asked, "May I inquire how you know this man? He has no records what so ever."
Cassie said, "I can explain. Long story short he like us are not of this World. I suppose all Worlds were one once long ago. Over a thousand years ago in the World we come from, though human history paints a different picture, all the planets in our Solar System had life. Each had a Kingdom, a Royal Family, and a Crown Princess or rarely a Crown Prince. At the center of this fantastical fairytale was Kingdom Hearts, the Silver Moon Kingdom. The Royal family held the power of the Light that created all even the Infinity Stones of your World. Though their true Name are Aspect Crystals. They have no true role for the Light of Hope, but they are in a sense sentinent as the Silver Crystal is, to the point they choose who uses them. The only way this can be overwritten is the Inifinity Gauntlet. Originally forged by a Mad Titan in our World he escaped to this one in an effort to win over my sister Hela and claim what he believed was his rightful Throne as King of Saturn. He believed using the Aspect Crystals to accomplish this task would be simple. But he did not count on having to find them first. A single swing of her Silence Glaive and the first Mad Titan was slain. I fear though that Thanos his descendant will attempt the same. Which is why I would like to leave this here." She set a communicator on the desk.
"Though Sailor Saturn has not yet contacted me nor my other Outers aside from Pluto, I am well aware they are awake and merely awaiting Venus' return. As for how I know this man, Marulxia as he is called is the reincarnation of Marius whom held the Title of Jadeite during the Time Of Light known otherwise as the Silver Millennium. He was one of Four Heavenly Kings. Four Warriors blessed with Power on par with the Four Inner Planetary Guardians. As they were the Guards of my soulbonded Other Crown Prince Roran of Earth. He was the counter to Sailor Jupiter Soldier of Courage, Thunder, and Strength. When we were set to be reborn, a mad man we know him as Xehanort changed things so Marluxia was forced to share a body with who was supposed to be his grandfather. Luxu, Xehanort's right hand man incited a War that detroyed many Worlds and caused the Loss of many bright and shining Stars within the many fallen Keyblade Wielder's Hearts. Luxu did this, because if the Four Heavenly Kings were seperated, they would not be able to recall their past. He went further to insure they didn't wake up by casting a spell on them when they were finally freed from their shared existance. Even cursing my previous reincarnation to fade from people's memories. He even did so with my brother's Kenye and Zephyr. As well as Skylar and Roran's reincarnations as they were meant to be twins. But he forcibly merged them together. For a chance to steal the X-Blade. The sacred Blade of my Kingdom. For the entire history of the this weapon, for every Princess or in rare case Prince of Kingdom Hearts, one Warrior is selected. Chosen by the spirit of the Blade itself to complete Seven Trials of Light and Thirteen Trials of Darkness. To prove they are worthy to be the Sword that protects the Holy Stone and the Light that bring Life to all."
Demyx said, "Marluxia, Roran was Roxas. It was why you started the idea of a rebellion against Xemnas. You on a subconcious level knew Xemnas was the enemy and Roxas was a precious person we had to protect. He is our Prince. Our future King." Artemis used his Lunar Mind Meld to grant Marluxia his true memories. The pink haired man cried for the loss of his Precious Ones but it steeled his resolve. "Princess, what of Elena and Sabrina? Where are my sister's?" Cassie said, "We haven't found them as of late unfortunately. Though we have also been searching for my fellow Guardians. So far we have only found Mercury and Jupiter. Though I believe I will com across Mars within the next academic year. The choice is yours Marluxia. Wait and possibly be used against your Prince, or return with us and fight by his side as you were born to do." Marluxia thought a moment. "I...shall go with you Princess." Cassie smiled, "Very well. Demyx I leave you responsible for helping Marluxia secure any belongings he has. I have business elsewhere to attend to." Demyx smiled, "Of course Princess."
Cassie walked down the streets of New York all the way to Avengers Tower. She entered the building and the resceptionist asked, "Yes miss, may I help you?" Cassie said in a firm but regal tone, "Yes, I came seeking Loki and Thor. I have a message I am only allowed to give them and them alone. It involves Loki's daughter Serena and her Court." The lady at the desk said, "Who may I ask sent you to give this message?" Cassie replied, "General Artemis Robert Salvatore of the Order of the Silver Rose. Advisor to her Royal Majesty Queen Serenity Arianne Crystallis Moonview the fourth." The woman at the desk made a call and Captain America and the Winter Soldier came to the lobby. Captain America said, "Young Lady, what ever you have to say has got both of them freaking out. So whatever your message is, it had better be important." Cassie smiled and replied, "I assure you Captain, this message will change things for the better. As well as give you the edge needed to defeat the Mad Titan once and for all."
Once in the common's area Cassie sat down on one of the couches. Each of the Avengers entered the room Loki and Thor last. Loki looked at the young woman, "Speak chid. What is the message you have to deliver?" Cassie rose and said, "My Lord, I come bearing important news of Princess Serena and her sister's in arms reincarnations. So far Serena, Hemera, and Divara along with Malachite, Jadeite, and Prince Damocles are awake. The Outers are also awake but are awaiting the return of Princess Natalia of Venus before they congregate. They were reborn in their birth world with the exception of a few. Diomedes, the man responsible for the Kingdom's fall is making a move for Serena's kingdom and Holy Crystal as well as the Kingdom's Sacred blade. Queen Serenity made a countermove in the reincarnation of your children." Thor asked, "How is it you know of these thing child?" Cassie called on her crystal making Loki ask in shock, "Serena, my daughter is it truely you?" Cassie who looked like her previous self with blue eyes and silvery gold hair said, "Indeed father." Loki did the only he resonably could. Which was faint. Thor said, "We must go to Asgard to present you to the Court as what should have happened. As Asgard connects to all Worlds." Cassie said, "I would love to visit, but I can not stay very long. My mission must continue to insure Diomedes does not win." Tony asked, "Anything we could do to help?" Cassie shook her head, "Not much I'm afraid. Though I can leave a communicator here in the event you find someone in a black coat or mentions of the words Heartless, Xehanort, Kingdom Hearts, or things like that. The bigger support and information network my group has the better."
Heimdall had opened the Bifrost as Cassie, Thor, and Loki departed for Asgard. Cassie's first sight of Asgard was that it felt every bit like her Kingdom did back in the day. Three horses were brought to them. Cassie thankfully remembered how to ride a mare. They were quickly shown into the palace. Odin thundered, "Loki who is this girl?!" Frigga looked interested. Cassie kneeled before the throne and revealed her crystal and the Mark of the Royal Family of the Moon, "Grandfather, I am Serena daughter of Loki and Queen Serenity of Kingdom Hearts. I was reborn by my mother's hand with my powers in tact so that I and my sister's can stand against Diomedes. He has broken the delicate Balance of Magic and perverting many Souls to gain what he believes is his by right. My Kingdom, Crystal, and the Sacred Blade of my Kingdom so he may rewrite the Universe as he so desires. Myself, two of my Inner Guardians, the Outers, two of Roran's guards, two reborn members of the Silver Knights whom are also Kenye and Zephyr, as well as the Silence Knight are currently awake. The Outers are networking in the World we were reborn in, our birth world. Venus was merged with who was supposed to be her twin as was Roran. We are currently searching for a way to free them. I came so that I might present myself to the Court as I should have done. As well as inform you that the Great Awakening is coming soon." Odin stood and looked over Cassie feeling the familiar Lunar Magic. As well as powerful Fire Magic. "The Fire Magic is not of your natural Lunarian heritage Granddaughter. Where did it come from?" Cassie said, "My mother in my current incarnation grandfather. She was the Keeper of the Dragon's Flame. Like my mother I am also a Keeper. I also must track my current incarnation's parents and siblings. They were claimed dead, but no bodies, coroner report, nor any information is available. When shown my heritage test done by magic, their status is simply a question mark. A sorcerer is Diomedes' staunch ally in my World grandfather Odin. He was the last man to see my current parents. He may alone hold the answers to their whereabouts." Frigga said, "Perhaps husband, we could send a guard with her to school. Are your current parents noble's?" Cassie replied, "Yes grandmother. It would not be unusual for Nobility to hire private tutors, but there is paperwork to file. At this point in the year it would be considered irrelevant to add an extra teacher. Though the Defense position only has one applicant currently. One I would sooner turn into a toad than listen to. His books are glorified travel logs with timelines that simply don't match up." Loki said, "Give me a few moments. Which World is it dearest? The Eltar System correct?" Cassie said, "Yes father."
Loki returned less than two hours later and said, "I have set up the Identity of Lucien Firus Odynson. I have with the aid of the Swiss Ministry pulled as the Midgardian's say, 'a fast one'. That man, Gilderoy Lockhart has been outmanuvered in his chance for the Defense position. I have also reissued books for a proper grounding in magic. My aid should he agree shall be Jadeite's reincarnation. If not I shall simply say my would be aid was offered an apprenticeship."
Cassie spent some time with her grandparents. The went to the market and the spent much coin on her making her flustered. They found scrying mirrors a pocket sized one and a full sized one that could be used to observe if told the right phrase. It worked much like the magic mirror in Snow White's world. There were many lovely jewelry pieces and equally beautiful garments she had been bought such as silken scarves or a gown fit for a princess. Which in retrospect she was. After joining a feast that was served for lunch, Cassie returned to Midgard with her father and uncle vowing to visit when she could.
Cassie put her gifts in her room. The first thing she did was try her larger scrying mirror. "Mirror Mirror, in this land show me where Diomedes and his men stand." The Mirror rippled to reveal a world unlike she had ever seen before. Though she saw a sign that proclaimed, 'Welcome to Scala Ad Caelum' "Scala Ad Caelum? Stairway to Heaven. Why does that sound familiar? Strange. Very well then. Mirror Mirror by my side, where does Zoisite the Cloaked Schemer reside?" The mirror then rippled to show Twilight Town. In an alley near the Clock Tower bleeding heavily. Cassie quickly wrote down what she saw and bolted to the Lounge where everyone was. She told Demyx to head to Twilight Town and handed him the directions. Daphne she ushered to the infirmary and prepped a bed. Demyx returned not even a minute later with Zexion. He was put on a bed and Cassie started casting healing magic. Once she was certain the Cloaked Schemer was stable she spelled Blood Replenishing potions into his stomach.
Zexion groaned as he woke up. Demyx started shouting down the hall of the Infirmary as to his shock Marluxia and a bunch of teenagers and preteens stumbled in. Cassie said, "Demyx, your the one who's going to explain what happened. He's your boyfriend so you get the duty." Zexion blushed and felt the beat of something he shouldn't have. "I...have a Heart?" Marluxia and Demyx looked at each other, "Cassie did it." Zexion asked confused, "Who's Cassie?" The raven haired girl with teal eyes raised her hand and said, "I am. I was the unofficial Number 14 before this." A rush of memories hit him from not only who Cassie was before, to a lifetime where he was a completely seperate person from his Somebody. He looked at Demyx, "Malachite is that you?" Demyx had tears in his eyes. "Yes. Yes, my beloved Zoisite, yes it is. The Princess saved us both. But we have to save our Prince. It was Roxas Zex, Roxas is our Prince. Somehow, you knew Xemnas was the enemy and Namine was an ally. But you got a mixed signal from Sora. He was Skylar, Roran's brother. Sadly, though we have to wait. Nephrite and Roran will be free from their Somebodies next summer. But Diomedes will do so in an effort to gain more vessels for his use. We have very few allies right now. Plus there is another issue at hand. A sorcerer is an ally of Diomedes in the World we're operating out of. Cassie has some contacts in that World who can get you the needed documentation to be independant. What is it you would like to do? Cassie is the owner of several magical and non magical businesses so you could pick and choose." Zexion asked, "Any bookstores I could work at?" Cassie giggled, "I own a few different ones. I'll get you a summary once we get your papers done."
