Blazer777: While that maybe true, Kingdom Hearts story hasn't been much better and I doubt that's ever going to change unless they try in KH3 to explain everything. And yet, we like love the series anyways. As for the errors, I'll be sure to look those over later. And yes, there is a very big purpose of Vanitas being here, but I'm not going to tell you you're just going off have to wait like everyone else.
Petor: Yes, that is the same Jedi we all know and love. And like I've said I'll try to fix those errors if I have time. And thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter.
Dexter: Yes, it's Obi-Wan Kenobi or Ben from Star Wars: A New Hope. What's his purpose in the story your going have to wait and find out.
Guest: Thank you.

Chapter 4: Rogue Recruit
In Mississippi, outside of a school dance, a teenage girl, only known to everyone as Rogue, was standing on the deck outside. The teenage boys walked by a noticed her. They argued among themselves until one of them until one of them pushed the other towards Rogue. She turned to him and asked, "Can I help you?"
"Uh...dance...I mean...with me? I mean...would you like to...together?" He asked while his friend face palmed himself. Rogue replied, "I'm really just hanging out here..." She stop to noticed the broken heart boy, she signed, "Okay...why not?"
He beamed as they headed to the dance floor, Rogue continued, "After all, what's the harm in one dance?" He gave his friend a high five as they headed inside.
Meanwhile, outside the home Rogue lived, Irene Alder waited for her foster daughter to return home. When she started to have visions of the future, "No! Don't touch him!" She frowned as the vision ended, "Oh, my dear child..."
Back at the dance, Rogue and the boy, known as Cody, danced to the music. Cody's friend friend encouraged him, "Get closer! Make your move!" He pushed Cody closer to Rogue knocking both of them down. Cody was the first get back up and offered to help her back up, "Hey, I'm sorry."
He touched her by the skin and a sensation went through the two of them. For Cody, he felt like he was getting weaker and for Rogue, just the opposite. She felt like she was getting stronger and not only that but she felt like she was getting new memories. Once he released her, he feel into a coma and everyone just stared at her wondering what the heck just happened. Rogue only wonder, "All these images...in my head...What am I? What's happening to me? Who am I?"
Cody's friend tried to shake him back up, "Cody? CODY?! WHAT'S WRONG?!" He glared at Rogue, "What did you do to him?" Rogue said nothing began running towards the exit crying but she was cut of by Cody's friend. However, she easily pushed him aside and kept running much like a football player. He was shocked, "Whoa...and I thought only Cody had moves like that."
Back at the Xavier's school for the gifted youngsters, a man dressed in black broke into the school from the attic. He exited the vents above and landed on the floor. "Impressive. You got passed the auto defenses by using the air vents..." The man sniffed around for the woman nearby, when Storm came in, "But you won't get pass me!"
Just then, wind burst the room but he avoided it by retreating back to the air vents. As he explored his way to the vents, Storm grinned, "Test me? Hmmm? Well then, it's time you remember why you called me, Storm!" The intruder went to pounce on Strom but was sent back to cold air to froze him to the wall.
Storm then used the rain to flood the air vents and sent the intruder into the danger room. As he got on his feet, Storm smirked from the controls, "Look at little flushed, and the forecast isn't good." He pounced at Strom but was blown back where was frozen and as he broke free, he glowered, "Now, that... was cold."
"Then let's warm you up." Storm pushed a button which an cannon appeared and fired. The intruder jumped over the turret and popped out his claws, revealing to be Wolverine. He impaled the claws in the turret causing it to explode and sent him back. As he got back on his feet, he taunted, "Gotta connect first. Got any other party tricks?"
Just then, another machine revealed itself and began to spin. Wolverine ducked and struck at it's power source to shut it down. The professor ordered, "Stop, that's enough. Besides is all we can afford now, Wolverine." Logan smirked as he removed his mask, "Hey, when I give a demo, I give a demo."
"Is demo for demolish or demonstration?" Scott joked, "I mean, what was the point." Storm replied, "The point, young Cyclops, was to teach you to find strategic points in sophisticated defense mechanism." Sora nodded as it wrote it down, "...sophisticated defense mechanism...Got it!"
"That's right, Bub," Logan said as he joined the others, "And I say ours need a little work." Nightcrawler eyes widened as he shove more popcorn in his mouth, "That was tight. I give it two thumbs up."
"No, Kurt. Mr. Logan is right. What if someone like Ronan shows up? He was ten times hard taking him down than what Logan faced in the danger room." Sora stated. Jean rolled her eyes still believing it was a dream, "Alright, no more alien movies for you."
"But it really happened..." Sora argued. Kitty stated, "Sora, if it was like true, then home come it's only been like on 6 minutes gone by when all that happened. It doesn't add up."
"I know...it...it just did..." Sora shrugged. Logan continued, "Anyways, the vents were pretty easily breached. Going to need to fix that. Maybe electrify them or install poison gas sprayers." Storm eyes narrowed, "Wolverine."
"Alright, alright. Knockout gas then." Logan crossed his arms. Everyone seemed to be alright with that, Kitty on the other hand shivered, "Isn't anyone else like freaked out by all this?" Everyone just stared at her as Sora raised his hand, "Does fighting an invasion to save a world count?"
"No, Sora that doesn't count. It was like totally a dream." Kitty signed. Sora raised his hand again as she added, "Traveling to different worlds doesn't count either." Sora put his hand down. "Oh, it's just me. Great."
"Relax, Kitty, you''ll be fine." Kurt reassured her. He then tel-ported next to her causing her to gasp as Kurt continued "We're right beside you." He tel-ported again to the other side of her, "Popcorn?" Kitty gasped as she saw him offer her it with his tail. Realizing his mistake, he laughed sheepishly, "Opps, sorry. Next time, I'll honk before I 'port."
"Whatever. Look, guys, it's getting late. If it's alright with you, I'm going to like drop out." Kitty replied as she passed through the floor. Sora looked to Logan and asked, "So...when will we get to try out the new and improved danger room?"
"Ah...she not not into the fuzzy, dude. Not that I don't blame her." Kurt frowned. Jean place a hand on his shoulder, "Aw, she just need time Kurt."
"Yeah. She'll come around." Sora nodded, then turning back to Logan, "Seriously though, when will we get a turn?" Just then Professor Xavier entered the room, "X-Men! We have an emergency!"
"The Pizza we order was eaten before it could arrived?! Christmas has been canceled?! Timmy's stuck in the well?! What is it?! Tell us already!" Sora panicked. Scott signed, "Sora...let the Professor explain the situation."
"And who's Timmy?" Jean asked. Sora gave it a moment before replying, "I have no idea..." Everyone face palmed themselves. Charles ordered, "Scott prep the Blackbird. And since it's a weekend, assemble the full team."
"Yes, sir." Scott nodded, "What's the mission?" The Professor explained, "Cerebro has detected a new mutant in Caldecott County, Mississippi." Sora raised an eyebrow, "That all? Then what's the emergency the requires the full team?"
"I can't be certain but I don't believe we'll be the only ones after her. I also sense that she is in a bad mental state. She could be a danger to herself and other. X-Men, we have a rogue." Charles explained. Sora nodded, "In that case, I'll tell Kitty to suit up." Sora ran off the find Kitty as he went down the elevator he ran to Kitty's room when he thought he spotted a masked boy. Sora's eyes widened as he turned to that direction but he was already gone. Sora shook it off to find Kitty.
Meanwhile, back at Mississippi, Rogue continued running confused through the middle of the streets causing cars to move out of the way and crash. Rogue was so upset, she didn't hear them complaining. Nor the Masked Boy watching the whole thing, "Another mutant. Mystique will want check this one out herself."
Vanitas teleported away, to report to Mystique...
Sora ran to Kitty's room, "Hey, Kitty! Are you awake?" He knocked as Kitty passed her head through the door, "What is it, Sora?" He explained, "The Professor has a mission the requires the full team. It's another recruit mission and we may not be the only ones after her."
"All right. I'll suit up. Oh, and by the way..." Kitty phased a box through the door, "I heard you were still trying to find a uniform that you comfortable with so, I made you this."
"Oh, thanks Kitty. You didn't need to do this..." Sora replied as he took the box. Kitty raised a hand, "It's the least, I can do. Now, let's hurry. We don't want to keep the Professor waiting." She phased back into her room, as Sora opened the box and smiled...
Sora rushed in the Blackbird with his new uniform on. The others turned to notice him and smiled. Sora looked amazing. The suit was mostly black and a short shelved hoodie as well as finger less gloves and of course and X-Men belt around his waist. (Just think the Kingdom Hearts 2 outfit but with and X-Men built added to it.) Jean complemented, "Wow, Sora, that's uniform looks amazing on you."
"It's not just a uniform just place o different belt and Sora can get away with it being causal cloths." Kitty explained. Wolverine just glowered, "Whatever, gets us to the missions faster is fine with me. Can we go now?" Soon, he Blackbird launched from the hanger and blasted off to the sky. As Kurt piloted the jet, he checked his work so far, "Stealth mood stable. Leaving out at 10,000 feet."
"Steady...now hold it right there." Scott co-piloted, "...and you've got it. Nice job, Kurt. You'll make a pilot, yet." Kurt smirked, "Thanks." He then began to fly the jet with his feet. Scott frowned, "...or maybe not." He then turned to the others, "I've logged our flight plan with the FAA. We're cleared through to Jackson. We'll take the Van from there."
"Good. You're picking up logistics quickly, Scott." The Professor commented. Cyclops smiled in appreciation. Kitty smiled behind Jean, "Scott seems so, like, together! So cool and he's kinda cute." Jean laughed, "Cute?! Stiff - maybe, exacting - definitely, but... hmm..." Then she then look at Scott again, "You know, from a certain angle..."
"What are you girls talking about?" Sora asked as he turned to them. Kitty explained, "Girl stuff, Sora. You wouldn't understand." Sora nodded as he gazed back at the window. Kurt looked at them and was kinda jealous so he decided to do something daring. He tel-ported from his seat and on the roof of the jet. Everyone's eyes widened in shock as Kurt stood there however he began to loss his grip a tumbled over. Thankfully, he tel-ported back inside the jet and landed in Kitty's seat. The Professor scolded Kurt as Kitty pushed him off her, "Kurt, the Blackbird not the place to be fooling around and you'll frighten Kitty."
"Sorry, Kitty." Kurt apologized. Kitty just shivered as she decided to move to a different seat, "Just like stay way from me." She then sat in the seat ahead of Logan. He just rolled his eyes, "Kids." Just then the Blackbirds alarms went off. Professor eyes widened, "Scott, what's happening?"
"Professor, we have incoming. But this is impossible. We shouldn't be seen by anyone." Scott explained. Sora stared out the window, he's eyes widened in recognize, "Care to tell that to the Unversed?!"
Everyone looked out at saw several unversed ships flying directly towards them. Storm counted them, "I count six. And I have a feeling they won't pass us by." Logan smirked, "Finally some action. Cyclops move over I'm take over co-pilot, Sora...you know what to do."
Scott's and Jean's eye widened, "No, anyone but him, anyone!" As Sora beamed as he took over the pilots spot. Kitty turned to Jean as Scott went to sit in the passengers seat and buckle up, "Why are you so sacred of Sora's flying? Is he terrible at it?"
"Just the opposite, Sora's the best pilot we have and that was before he had powers but his air combat skills can be a bit..." Before she could finish the Backbird swerved causing everyone to lean in the opposite direction, "EXTREME!" Sora just grinned, "This is were the fun begins." As the Unversed opened fired on them Sora pulled of some extremely fancy moves that dodged all of their attacks. Sora even was able to counterattack and shot two of them down. As the assault continued everyone had different reactions.
Professor X told him, "Sora, slow down!"
Storm added, "Your scaring the other students!"
Logan grinned, "Just ignore them! Keep up the good work!
Kurt prayed, "HAIL MARY! FULL OF GRACE! THE LORD IS WITH THEE...!"
Scott felt like he was about to vomit, "I think I'm going to be sick..."
Jean covered her eyes, "Tell me when it's over!"
Kitty just laughed as she raised her arms in the air, "YAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Sora told everyone, "Hold on everyone! Things are going to be an epic ride!"
"THAT'S NOT HOW THE SAYING GOES!" Everyone who wasn't enjoying the ride. The Professor turned to Storm, "Storm, see if you can knock out any of the Unversed." She nodded, "This dog fight has gone on long enough!" She then summoned lighting to strike on of the Unversed knocking it into another causing them to fall below. One of the Unversed pulled back will only one was still in pursuit. Sora smiled, "Time to end this!"
He already knew what the Unversed had be planning and already had a counter measure. Sora continued dodge the lone Unversed attacks while the other on tried to fly directly to the Blackbird but Sora turned the jet out of the way causing the two monster ships to crash into each other. After that everything calmed down. Wolverine grinned, "Not too shabby, Spike. Not a single scratch."
"Thank's Mr. Logan. And we're almost to our new friends home town." Sora smiled. Jean opened her eyes and everyone signed in relief except for Kitty who was sit laugh, "All right! That was like totally a blast! Can we do that again?"
"NO!" Everyone but Sora and Logan replied. Scott signed, "Hopefully, our new recruitment doesn't have to Sora's air combat skills."
Mystique's plane landed, and she exited the plan as Princaple Darkhölme. She walked to the limo and the driver opened the door for her. She entered the vehicle and when the door shut she shift-shaped back to her true form. Irene told her, "You made good timing, Raven."
"Our organization's mysterious founder has certain...resources, Irene. What happened?! I left the girl in what I thought was in safe keeping until Vanitas told me otherwise!" Mystique demanded. Irene explained, "At the school dance, her mutant powers manifested and she accidentally made physical contact with a local boy..." Mystique nodded and finished, "...absorbing his memories and physical abilities."
"Wonderful." She said with sarcasm, "We keep her hidden away in this backwater for the better part of five years and in five minutes... it all falls apart. We cannot lose her! Especially not to Xavier! She possesses the potential for limitless power!" She then calmed down, "You can see the future, Irene. Where will she go?"
"Home...or what she thinks is home." She replied.
Meanwhile with Rogue, she walked down the street to look at a nice two floor house. She doesn't know why but she's be memories of coming home from school here. She remembers parents walking up to greet her. She open her arms to hug the father only to realize no one was there. She tried the door but it was locked. However, she remembered where they kept the spare key. She reached to the roof to retrieve it and unlock the door.
"See, I told I'd you we'd get here without anymore trouble. I still don't know why you guys get so worried when I fly." Sora stated while the others except Kitty and Logan were relieved that it was over. Now with the X-Men were checking on the boy she absorbed, Jean went inside while the others waited in the X-Van. Wolverine asked, "Is this really necessary?" The Professor nodded, "Yes, Logan, the boy, Cody, is the key to finding our rogue but he's unconscious and his mind is elusive to isolate his memory patterns. I need someone on the inside." Sora smiled, "If anyone can pull this off, it's Jean."
"You would say that about any of us in any situation." Scott pointed out. Sora nodded, "And none of you let me down before." Meanwhile, in the room with Cody, Jean walked in disguised as a nurse. Cody's friend walked up to her, "He'll be okay, right? You'll help him." Jean smiled and replied, "Yes, we will." The boy smiled in relief as Jean transmitted the information to Charles. The Professor's eyes widened in shocked at what he had learned...
Back at Cody's home, the limo pulled up to the house. Irene asked, "Now what? You won't hurt her will you? After all she's your..." Mystique cut her off, "I know, Irene, I know. She will come to us willingly, given the right incentive." She then shift-shaped look like Wolverine. Irene then asked, "What about the Chosen One, we were warned about. If he manages to reach her..."
"Trust me. Our my new informant will deal with him along with any other X-Men." She grinned as she mad her way to the house. Rogue was checking out a scrap book with Cody, "All of this is...me? Mine?" She then looked at her reflection and asked herself, "But which me am I?" She frowned as she wiped the trophies off the dresser she learned on. She then turned to she a man dressed in orange and black bust in the room. Rogue back away as he got closer, "Who are you?! What do you want?!"
"You, girlie, I want you." He replied and popped out his claws and attacked. Rogue dodged as he crashed through the closet. But he didn't stay down for long, "Stand still and I'll make it quick! You're dealing with the X-Men now and you ain't gotta chance! " Rogue picked up a piece of wood from the shattered closet to arm herself, "X-Men? I don't understand. I just wan't you to leave me alone!"
She whacked the piece of wood in to the man knocking down long enough for her to make a run for it. He gotta back up to chase her as he howled like a wolf. As man his way down the stares, "he" grinned, "One more turn of the screw..." Mystique went back to true form before changing into Storm, "...and you'll come running into my arms."
"So does like bite or what?" Kitty complained as Wolverine, Nightcrawler, Sora, and herself walked down a dark alley. Wolverine replied, "The Prof says the girl's mind is confused and difficult to pinpoint so keep looking." Sora stated, "To find a confused girl with a mind of a football player, we've got to think like confused girl with a mind of a football player..."
"Great...now how exactly do we do that?" Kitty replied with sarcasm. Sora gave it a deep thought, "Hmmm...I don't know, that's one hard to think of..." He then beamed, "Hey! I know! Jean's boyfriend is a football player, I bet she's been his head loads of times! I'll ask her!"
"Sora!" Kurt spoke up, "First, Kitty was being sarcastic. Second, she's never confused. Finally, if she knew where the girl is don't you think she would have told us." Sora realized, "Oh...good point..." Logan then sniffed and caught on to a scent. Kurt asked, "What? Caught a scent?
"Yeah...I smell fear..." Wolverine nodded.
As Rogue continued to run she noticed someone else causing her. A woman with time with long white hair, as she tried to climb over the fence. Mystique said with Storm's voice, "One well placed lighting bolt..." She pulled out a device and threw it at Rogue, "...One ex-mutant!" Rogue groaned in pain as she felt like she was struck by lightening. She looked up to see a familiar woman looking down at her, "Rogue. It's me, Irene. Try and remember."
"Who...?" But then she began to remember, "Wait, Irene... yes but I'm so confused... Strange thoughts in my head... People chasing me..." Irene replied, "Easy, easy, honey... the police are coming. The X-Men will not risk a confrontation."
"X-Men?" She questioned as Irene offered to help her up. Irene replied, "Yes, mutant hunters. Now hurry, I have a friend who can help you. I'll take you to her." Rogue took her hand as she pulled her up, "I don't know. This is all happening so fast. I don't..."
Before Rogue could finish she turned to see the claw man who attacked her before along with three others. Rogue gasped, "It's him! The one who attacked me! Run Irene!" Rogue ran so fast she didn't realized she left her glove in Irene's hand. Wolverine told the others as they chased after her, "That's gotta be her." Sora stopped to notice Irene before running up to join the others. Rogue begged as she climbed over another fence, "Please, leave me be!"
Kurt knew chasing her would only scare her even more so he teleported ahead of the others and stopped them, "Wolverine, wait! She seems to be terrified by you. Let me try." Wolverine gave it a movement of thought before nodding, "Okay, kid, just don't mess up. Capise?" Nightcrawler saluted him ,"Yes, sir!"
"I'll go find the Prof, and Kurt..." He turned to Logan as he told him, "Put on your best face." Kurt smiled and gave him two thumbs up, "No sense of freaking the kid out more than she already is." Kurt switched into his human disguise with his watch and as Kitty and Sora followed before Wolverine mention, "And keep an eye on half-pint and spikey here." Kitty turned to Logan and complained, "Hey! I like get Sora tends to daze off but why me?!"
"Simple. Your still a rookie!" Wolverine says as he runs off. Kitty growls to argue, but Sora stops her, "Don't let him get to you. You just need to prove yourself that's all. I believe in ya!" Kitty looks to Sora and smiles, "Thanks, Sora. You always know what to say."
Sora looked back to see the blind woman once more before turning to Kitty, "Say, Kitty. Could you do me a favor and continue the mission with Kurt without me for a minute?" Kitty raises an eyebrow, "Sure...but why?"
"Well, I think the woman we passed might have some connection to that girl. Maybe she knows why she's spoked by us and knows how we can help her." Sora answered. Kitty was a little unsure, "Um... Will you promise not to chase after an Ice Cream this time?"
"You never gonna let that go, are you?" Sora groaned. Kitty giggled, "Never!" Sora signed, "Okay, I promise." Kitty smiled, "Then we'll see ya soon. Wouldn't want to lose you before you get to date Kairi."
Sora blushed as Kitty ran off determined to prove herself. Sora turned to the blind woman, "Excuse me?" Irene heard to boys voice and tried to leave in the opposite direction but tripped. Sora gasped and ran over to her, "Are you you alright? Here let me help you."
"Thank you but I'm..." As Sora took her hand to help her up she began to have more visions. With giant metal robots, dark shadows, empty husks, Dark Lords, an evil Empire, Seekers of Darkness, an Apocalypse. Dark times were coming for both mutant and human kind along with the coming of many evils. It's the whole reason why see sided with Raven and agreed to look after Rogue and side with Magento. But something was different this time, this time humans and mutants from many different worlds all united to combat these threats, all connect to this boy. Born to be chosen. Raised as a both human and mutant. However, he wasn't mutant, maybe not even from their world. He was kind and true to his friends. He fights to keep the light safe. She saw as the evils tried to attack the boy would arrive Keyblade in hand to save the day. To bring back those who were believed to be long gone and set the sins of the past undone. For the first time see saw these visions see saw something she's never seen before in these visions.
She smiled and the boy, "...I'm fine...thank you." Sora smiled, "Glad to hear that. My name is..."
"Sora. I know." Irene replied. Sora raised an eyebrow, "Huh? Yeah, how do you know me?"
"I'm Irene Alder. Call me Destiny. I'm Rogue's foster mother. She's that girl you and your friends are trying to recruit." She replied, "And if your wondering how I know these things when I'm blind...well, my mutant ability to see the future."
"Really?! That's so awesome!" Sora beamed. He then shook it off remembering why he was here, "Anyways, any particular reason why your foster daughter so scared of us?" Destiny signed, "I do actually." She hoped Raven would forgive her. She gestured to the house Rogue just escaped from, "The answers you seek are in there."
"Got it." Sora prepared to jump over the fence but Destiny stopped him, "Wait, before you go, let me give you some advice..." Sora turned to listen, "There are going to be dark times ahead but if you keep your light and friendships strong. You will be able to overcome the coming darkness and finally find the answers you seek."
"...you mean...my memories and my my family?" Sora wondered. She smiled and nodded, making Sora beam, "Wow! Thanks, Destiny!" Sora jumped over the fence as she replied when he couldn't hear her, "No, thank you, Sora. For giving the future a chance at a bright future." She turned to head home, "May your heart be you guiding key."
Rogue continued to run for it, when Kurt appeared on a nearby swing and greeted her, "Guten Tag, fraulein." Rogue gasped as Kurt continue, "Please, miss, don't be frightened." Kurt teleported from the swing to a stone bird bath. She asked, "What do you want?"
"To help you." He answered, "We're the good guys, especially me. I was like you one. Alone. Unsure what I was. Afraid to show my face. Can you believe it?" Kurt then notice Kitty charging at Rogue, "Kitty! No!"
She then tackled Rogue to the ground to prove herself to Logan. However, thanks to the memories of Cody, she was able to escape her grasp. Kurt went to check on Rogue but she saw it as an attack and tried to fight back unintentionally hitting a button on Kurt's watch reverted to his true form. Rogue gasped in fear and tried to push him away from her but she used her gloveless hand and absorbed his powers and memories. Kurt fell unconscious while Rogue teleported away. Kitty gasped, "Nightcrawler?! Nightcrawler! Kurt! Kurt!"
Back with Sora, he examined the damaged to the house. Sora thought to himself, "Well, I'm no Sherlock Holmes or Batman, but I think Rogue was attacked. But who is the question?" Sora crossed his arms to think, "Hmm...she seemed terrified when she saw Mr. Logan but how could she? I mean... We all saw her at the exact same time and Mr. Logan was with us the whole time. So, maybe she saw Sabertooth and confused him with Wolverine. I better call the Professor."
Sora called out to the Professor with his mind hoping he could hear him, "Hey, Professor. I think the girl, Rogue was attacked by Sabertooth."
"What makes you say that, Sora?"
"When we first saw the girl, she seemed terrified Wolverine but or at least she thought she did. I think she might have Mr. Logan mixed up with his arch-enemy." Sora explained.
"Doubtful, I would have sensed him...but I suppose it's not impossible either. I'll have Wolverine search the area, if he or anyone else came for her. Rejoin with us as soon as you can."
"Can do. Copy, over and and o..." Sora began the professor finished, "Sora, we're not the army. You don't need to do that."
"I know. I just really wanted to say that." Sora concluded. He turned to leave, when he heard, "Well, well, look at how you've grown..." Sora turned to see someone he hadn't seen in years. The boy in the masked was leaning against a wall on in the same room. Sora's eyes widened, "YOU?!"
"Ah, you still rememberer me. I'm flatter, to think I was worried you've forgotten all about me when you lost your memories." The boy grinned under his mask. Sora eyes narrowed, "Did you do this?! Did you attack the girl?!" Sora summoned his Keyblade and pointed it at the boy. He replied, "No...and neither did Sabertooth. But I know who did and better yet... I hold the key to you past."
Sora's gasped as the boy began to walk out the window, "You want answer, catch me and maybe I'll tell you what I know." He then leaped out the window to the ground below and ran. Sora called out, "Hey, wait!" He quickly jumped out the window and chased after him.
Back with Rogue, she had teleported to a nearby cemetery. Her eyes widened, "What happened? Where am I?" She began to speak in another language much to her surprise, "I can speak german?" She then recalled, "The fuzzy one, Kurt, I'm him. Like I was Cody. I think I'm catching on now." She the looked around and wondered, "But how did I..." As soon she took her first step she teleported to a nearby roof. causing her to gasp. She then closed her eyes and teleported once more. And again. and again. She was even beginning to enjoy until she she teleported on a old bench causing to break and her to fall. She wondered, "When is this night going to end?"
Back with Kitty, she was still trying to get Kurt up, "Say something Kurt. Please. Tease me! Scare me! Anything!" He still didn't do anything. She cried, "Please, don't be dead..." She then told herself, "C'mon Kitty. What would Sora do? I mean besides goofing off and chase after an Ice Cream truck with a giant key." She then remember, "Wait, the professor can read minds right. Sora calls out to him or Jean in situations like these." Kitty closed her eyes and thought, "Maybe he can read my thoughts..."
"Odd, the trail has gotten all of suddenly cold, I can no longer recall his braun wave patterns." The Professor told Storm, Cyclops, and Jean. Jean spoke up, "But if he's gone..."
"Then it simple means the effect of the transference is temporary, our problem now is to find the girl." Charles told her. Scott wondered, "What about Sabertooth or whoever's after the girl? Sora mention she might have been attacked. Any sign of him?"
"No, but we should keep an eye out for trouble, just in case." The Professor stated. Wolverine jumped over the fence, "The girl is a ten gardens due west. Kurt's trying keep her from bolting."
"And Sabertooth?" Strom asked. Wolverine shook his head, "Whoever, attacked her it wasn't him. However, I did recognize a familiar scent there and is probably who spoked the girl." His eyes widened, "Don't tell me who I think it is."
"It's her." He nodded. Scott wondered, "You know who she is Professor?" He was about to reply when he heard Kitty cry out, "Professor! Professor!" The Professor winced at Kitty's call as he replied, "Kitty? Kitty! Not so loud!"
"Slowly, please, organize your thoughts." He replied. Kitty replied, "It's Kurt. She hurt him. She did something to him!"
"Stay where you are. Help is on it's way." He told her. Charles turned to Wolverine, "Wolverine. It's Nightcrawler. Rogue has his mind and abilities." Wolverine growled and popped out his claws, "This is all my fault. I shouldn't have let the little squirrel in charge. What of spikey?"
After a few minutes, Charles replied, "Odd. He has joined up with Kitty and Kurt. And I can't sense him anywhere near the area." Scott groaned, "Don't tell me he got distracted again."
"But of what? There's nothing going on this late in the day. He must of saw something suspicious." Jean wondered. Wolverine's eyes widened, "Or someone. And I'm not referring to her." Charles's widened, "That mysterious Masked Boy, he's back again."
"You mean that guy, who Sora met before us!" Scott eyes widened. Jean gasped, "That means, he's probably chasing him for answers about his past." Wolverine volunteered, "I'll find them."
"No, Logan. Kurt and Kitty need you more. Go to them and help in any way you can." Charles told him. Wolverine growled but nodded and jumped over the fence, "In the meantime, I'm getting a clear reading of Kurt's brain wave patterns. She's more focus every time she uses her power." He turned to Scott, Jean, and Storm, "You three go on ahead, I'll guide you."
"What about Sora and the Masked Boy?" Jean wondered. Charles reassured her, "We'll find them. But keep an eye for either of them. Remember, we still don't know if this mysterious boy is a threat but don't underestimate him either." Everyone nodded to look for Rogue, Sora, and Vanitas. The Professor signed, and pulled out his cell phone and punched in a number, "Hello, Ben. Sora's gone missing and I can't sense him. I believe he may have gone after the Mask Boy."
"Don't worry. I'll find them." Said the mystery man.
Sora ran down the streets, for a moment he thought he lost him a few times. But then he'd always reappear to taunt him. Soon, they reached a dead end. Sora pointed his Keyblade at him, "No where left to run!"
"Who said anything about running?" Vanitas snapped his fingers as Unversed appeared surrounding Sora. Sora gasped, "Unversed!" He had ran right into a trap.
"They should eep you out of the way while we retrieve the girl." Vanitas said as he teleported away. Sora called out to him, "Wait!" However the Unversed got in his way and the boy was gone. Sora began to fight off the monster, some of them were unique and he had to defeat them in different ways. As he cut down the last Unversed, Vanitas reappeared behind him and blasted him with dark fire. The impact sent Sora flying and went he crashed into a building wall he fell unconscious. Vanitas chuckled, "Weak. Just like poor Ventus."
Just then, Mystique ran up to him. "Is it done." Vanitas nodded, "Sora shouldn't be causing any trouble from us for now." Mystique raised an eyebrow, "And his hasn't been damaged too badly." Vanitas signed, "Yes, on your boss's specific orders, I didn't hurt him too badly. Don't know why's he's so interested into him."
"Neither do I but I won't question him. Now help me deal with the other X-Men while I ruin any chances they have to recruit her." Vanitas nodded as they ran off. As they left, Sora's body was nowhere to be seen.
As Vanitas and Mystique hid behind tombstones not far from where Rogue was siting. They noticed Jean walking up to her. Mystique hid behind the tombstone and order the Mask Boy to do the same. Jean greeted Rogue, "Hi." Rogue looked up to her and asked, "D-do I know you? Ugh, these memories... I'm so confused."
"Yeah, I know. I can relate what your going through." Jean replied. Then Rogue remembered through Kurt's memories, "Jean...You're Jean Grey. YOUR LIKE THE OTHERS!" Jean raised her arms, "Relax! If you know who I am, then you know I won't hurt you."
Rogue decided to listen to wha Jean had to say, "Look, it's tough to go in solo. Hey, zero pressure." She then handed Rogue a communicator, "If you want to talk more, you can reach me anytime through this communicator." Jean then used her telekinesis to pass Rogue the device. Rogue took the device and said, "Latest fashion accessory, huh?"
"We all have one." Storm said as she and Scott walked up to join her, Rogue turned to them and gasped, "You...you...No...you won't take me." Rogue ran from them as Scott reached out, "NO! Wait!" But he fell in the mud and she was long gone. Jean wondered, "I don't get it, we were connecting and then..."
"...and then she saw me." Storm finished, "For some reason, she's afraid of me."
"Well, she looked pretty beat, she can't have gone far." Scott told the others causing Mystique to grin as she shape-shifted as Cyclops, she then gave a nod to Vanitas, "With pleasure." He then walked out of hiding and blasted dark fire at them. Scott's reaction to the blast and told his teammates, "Hit the deck."
Everyone was able to dodge the blast, everyone turned to Vanitas. Storm's eyes narrowed, "Who are you and what do you want?" The Masked Boy chuckled, "Call me Vanitas... and I've come for the girl."
"Have you been the one attacking her?!" Scott accused. Jean demanded, "And what have you done to Sora?!"
"The same thing, I'm going to do to you, X-Men!" Vanitas said as he raised his hand and summoned a Keyblade. Scott didn't hesitate to fire and optic blast at him but Vanitas simply raised his hand and blocked the blast, "Pathetic!" He then pushed the blast back with dark fire causing him to dodge the attack, with the X-Men distracted Mystique turned to scare Rogue some more.
Rogue hid in a cemetery building, when she saw the teenager with those weird glasses, she thinks his name is Scott hoping in from a hole in the roof, "Thought you could escape us, did you? The X-Men don't leave loose ends." He then pushed aside a stone vase as he made his way toward her. The second one he walkup to and pushed it towards causing her to move out of the way. As he reached out for her she began to run.
Sora groaned as he got up, "What happened?" He then heard nosies of action coming from the cemetery, "Oh-No! My friends!" He then began to run his way towards the cemetery. With someone else following him in a car.
Jean tried to get into his mind as he tried to strike at Scott with his Keyblade. Oddly enough he somehow managed to block her from entering his mind so Jean did the next best thing. She used her telekinesis and lift Vanitas away from Scott and began to slam him to the ground repeatedly. Vanitas then teleported after away from her grasp and appeared behind her, "Too slow!"
"Jean, look out!" Scott warned her. Jean gasped as she turned to Vanitas go for a killing blow when lighting stuck him, "This fight as gone on long enough! I don't know who you are or why your attacking us but I will not allow you to take anyones life this day." A thunder storm appeared and lighting came down to the Masked Boy. Vanitas using inhuman speeds deflected each strike before the could hit and teleported away. They could hear him laughing in the background. Jean growled, "A Keyblade, dark fire, and teleportation!"
"I bet my glasses he's the one who stole Sora's memories and been scaring the girl." Scott eyes narrowed. Storm spoke up, "That's not impossible. Sora has a Keyblade as well and he may be able to do those things too. He probably just hasn't learned how to yet. One thing is for certain though. Sora and the girl are in grave danger. We have to find them before Vanitas does."
"We're on it." Scott nodded as they got back on their feet, they had to reach them and fast.
When Rogue thought she lost Scott but then ran into Jean, "I tried..." she hissed at Rogue, "...I really tried! But some people just won't be helped!" Rogue whimpered as she turned to run but then ran into Sora. "Oh, sorry, I didn't she you there." Rogue turned t him, "Help! There after me?!"
"What?! Who?!" Sora asked with concern. She then pointed to the cemetery home, "Them! Mutant hunters!" Sora's eyes narrowed, the Mask Boy and the unversed were working together. Sora turned to her, "Go! Get yourself to safety!" Rogue nodded and ran Sora summoned his Keyblade, "Professor! Jean! Do you hear me?!'
"Sora! Oh, thank God! We thought we lost you. Where are you?"
"I'm at a cemetery home! The Masked Boy is back and he's after the girl!" Sora replied not letting his guard down.
"We know we ran into him not to long ago! We're on our way!"
"Hurry! I'll try to stall them as long as I can!" Sora nodded. He prepared for anything that walked out that door but when the someone stepped out of it Sora began to charge. When he saw that it was only Jean, "Wait, it's me!"
Sora stopped and rasied the eyebrow, "Jean? Wow, that was quick. Sorry for almost attacking. Where's that guy in the Mask?" She told him, "The others are engaging him, I went ahead to check up you and the girl. Where is she?"
"I told her to run because I thought you were the guy in the Mask or Sabertooth or even the Unversed." Sora told her. Jean nodded, "Well, we better let her know she's safe." Sora nodded, "Right."
As Jean walked ahead, as Sora began to follow when he felt something was off. So, he thought, "Hey, Jean?"
"Yeah, Sora?"
"How long are you from my location?" Sora wondered.
"We should be joining you soon." Sora's eyes widend at that response, "Why? Is there something wrong?!" Sora's eye narrowed, "Yeah, I'm walking right next to someone who looks excatilty like you, who just told me the others were dealing with Masked Boy."
"What!?"
"Jean, change the plans, find the girl, I'll deal with your imposter!" Sora charged at "Jean" and talked her to the ground, the fake Jean demanded, "Hey, what was that for?!"
"QUIT THE ACT! YOUR NOT MY FRIEND! SHE JUST CONTACTED ME IN MY MIND! WHO ARE YOU?!" Sora demanded. "Jean" kicked Sora off of her before revealing her true form, "And here I thought, you weren't going to be a problem..."
"A shape-shifter! You're the one who attack Rogue! You were the one who had the guy in the mask ambush me! Why?!" Sora exclaimed as he summoned his Keyblade. Mystique replied, "You're Professor a fool. Humans and Mutants can't get along! A war will happen and Vanitas and I will collect the strongest mutants to prepare for that war!"
"And you go on pretending to be us to scare the girl to joining your side and think my friends and I are the enemy." Sora realizing what happening. Mystique nodded as the circled eachother, "That's right. And I would have have both Kitty and Lance for my brotherhood of mutants if you hadn't interfered!"
"Then I will make sure no one else believe in your lies!" Sora said with determination. He then threw his Keyblade at Mystique but she dodged it and charged with a kick. Sora dodged the attack as she threw a punch at him. Sora resummoned his Keyblade, and blocked the punched, "Argh!" Mystique cluched her hand in pain.
Her eyes narrowed at Sora, as she changed into him, "You will suffer for this! Vanitas! Deal with him, while I make sure he doesn't have any chance to join the X-Men." The fake Sora ran as Unversed appeared and Sora got into his battle stance, "Out of the way!"
Sora then began cutting his way through the Unversed so he could chase after the shift-shaper. Just when Vanitas appeared in front of them, "You won't be getting to her that easy." Sora eyes narrowed, "I won't let you hurt the girl or my friends."
"Don't worry, we won't..." Vanitas said as he summoned his Keyblade, "You will. FIRA!" Sora knocked his aim away from him knocking the spell to hit an electric tower. The explosion knocked Rogue to the ground, Jean ran up to her in concern, "Are you hurt?! Hold still. Don't try to move."
Rogue whimpered as she crawled away, and when Storm walk up to her and asked, "What is wrong, child? We are your friends." However, Rogue unintentionally grabbed Storm's bare skin with her her bare hand. She began to absorb her memories and powers causing Strom flying toward the destroyed tower unconisous. Scott ran up to join Jean, "Hey, what's with the light show?"
Scott turned to Rogue, seeing what had happened, "Uh-no. No!" Strom had no control of Storm's powers. Sora engaged Vanitas in battle clashing his Keyblade with Vanitas's. They both observered what had happened, "That can't be good. Out of the way. If the shift-shaping lady gets to her as me then any chance of either us reaching her will be blown. Literally, in the state she's in she get us all killed."
"Don't care. I'm just here to enjoy what's to come...oh, if only you knew the plans I have in store for you." Vanitas said as he pushed harder his Keyblade aginst Sora's, "Unfortunately for you it doesn't require that all of your friends breathing for that."
Sora's eyes narrowed as he shoved off him and began hiring the masked boy with his Keyblade. Untill he vanished and telported behind Sora, "Too slow!" He prepared to strike down at him when some caught him using telekinesis, "What?!" Sora and Vanitas turned to see Ben with his hand in the air. Sora's eyes widend, his powers were like Jean's. Ben glared at the Masked Boy, "That's enough out of you. Now, leave these young people alone."
Ben then threw Vanitas away, out of their sight. Ben turned to Sora, "That should keep him busy. Go, stop the shape-shifter before she makes things worse then they already are." Sora smiled and nodded, "Thanks, Ben."
Sora quickly ran after Mystique. Meanwhile, with the Scott and Jean the contenuied to witness Rogue going out of control with Strom's powers. Jean used a telekinetic shield around her and Scott, "I can hold it a little."
Scott observered, "Give it up. She's got Storm's power but none of her control."
They watched helplessly as lightning struck the damaged electric tower and wires were coming down. Scott eyes widened, "The power lines! If they hit the water, Strom will be fried!" Mystique in the form of Sora smirked, "That will be the least of your problems." As she prepared to throw a rock to frame Sora as well, the real Sora came in from behind and tackled her to the ground. Causing both Scott and Jean turn to see, "TWO SORAS?!"
"Guys, don't worry about me. Get Storm out of there, I deal with the shape-shifter!" He told the Scott and Jean. Scott nodded, "He's right. We'll figure out what's up with Vanitas and the shape-shifter later, we got to get Storm out of there." Jean nodded, "Right!"
Jean and Scott ran over to help Storm as Mystique kicked Sora off of her and changed into Wolverine, "You just made the biggest mistake of you life, Bub!" Sora smirked as he summoned his Keyblade, "And I doubt it'll be the last either."
"Wolverine" popped out "his claws" and charged at Sora, however he blocked each and every strike with ease. As soon as Scott and Jean were close enough, they picked up Storm and got her out of harms way. Sora fought the fake Wolverine and felt like he had new trick to try out, "Freeze!"
A blast of ice froze the shape-shifter in place, Sora smirked, "That should hold you." Sora, Scott, and Jean witness Rogue scream before teleporting away. Jean and Scott turned to Sora, "Now what this about a shape-shifter?"
"What where is he?" Scott asked. Sora replied, "First, I think he's a she. Second, I used my new power with ice to freeze her she should be right..." But as he turned around all the was there was a few blocks of ice. Sora frowned, "Aw, she got away."
"It's okay, Sora. We all had our hands full. Now, tell us what happened." Jean told him. Sora was about to begin when Charles, Wolverine carrying Kurt, and Kitty joined them. The Professor asked, "What happened?"
"Professor, I solved the case why Rogue was so afraid of us. It was a shape-shifter going around pretending to be us." Sora explained. Wolverine sniffed, "Mystique. She can change her body but not her scent."
"That's right! Apparently, she knew what you're dream is and thinks it's foolish and believe there's going to be a war between the human and mutants." Sora explained. Scott smiled, "But you stopped her before she could make things worse."
"Yeah, but she got away." Sora frowned. Kitty said, "Then we have to go after her."
"No need, she is long gone. And if we want the girl to join your school, she would have to do so on her own free will or not at all." Everyone turn to see the cloaked man. Scott wondered, "Hey, who are you?"
"It's okay, Scott. He knows about mutants and he saved my life by defeating the guy in the mask." Sora explained. That put everyone at ease, making Scott smile, "Well, in that that case we appreciate the help Mr...?"
"Kenobi. Ben Kenobi." He shook Scott's hand, "Now then let us tend to the wounded." Kitty asked with hope, "You know how to help, Kurt." He smiled, "Of course. By now you know, that the girl's power is only temporary. As well as the state there in, however, I should be able to speed up the process."
He placed hand on Kurt's hand and closed his eyes and concentrated, after a few seconds Kurt began to groan as he woke up, "Wh-what happened?" Kitty beamed, "KURT! You're alright!" She helped him stand and told him, "Esay fuzzy elf. Everything is going to be just fine."
As Ben went to tend to Strom, Scott whispered, "Fuzzy elf?" Sora shrugged, "Well, at least she getting more comfortable around Kurt." As Ben got Storm up, he smiled, "There. Just take it easy and you'll be fine."
"Are you a mutant too?" Jean wondered. Ben just smiled, "No, my kind been around longer than mutants but we started out much like you did, so that's why I like to help Professor Xavier every now and then." Scott turned to him, "You knew about Ben, Professor?"
"Yes, but I'm afraid that's a story for another time. Let's go home. Thank you, again for coming." Charles smiled. Ben nodded, before turning to Sora, and handed him a small Greek coin. "Here, whenever you need help, just use your power and help will come."
Sora smiled, "Thanks Ben. But why have been helping me out specifically?" Ben just smiled, "Let's just say I made a promise to an old friend." Sora nodded as everyone headed out to the Blackbird and Ben went to head home his own way.
"Welcome to Bayville High. I'm sure you be quite happy here." Principle Darkhölme greeted Rogue, "Happy and safe." Rogue just nodded, "Sure. Thank you." Rogue then left the room and went to class. Once she was gone, Vanitas appeared, Raven glared at him, "What happened? I thought said you had that boy handled?"
"Don't blame me. He won't have been a problem if his cloaked bodyguard hadn't got in the way. Or if you friend didn't tell that idiot where to look." Vanitas argued.
"ENOUGH!"
They two turned to see the paper began moving around as the image of Magneto appeared, "All that matters now is she's on our side now. Despite the boy and the Jedi's interference."
"That brings the question, why so intrested with him?" Mystique asked. He just chuckled, "I have my reasons. Now, has any kindness that the X-Men shown to the girl been erased."
"We're positive." Vanitas stated. Magneto grinned, "Excellent, Vanitas. You've make a fine addition to our Organization. Now, tell me more about this Kingdom Hearts and the other worlds." Outside Rogue just stared at the communication Jean gave her, she didn't know why but she felt a strong need to keep it.
Finally finished! Sorry for the late update, I hope it was worth the wait. Anyways, so many Questions. Why is Ben watching Sora on Earth instead of Luke on Tatooine? When is Sora going to use his first summon charm? What is Magneto's connection to Sora? Why Magneto obessed with other worlds and Kingdom Hearts?...You'll just have to wait and see...
Anyways next time... Sora returns to school and tries to connect with Rogue while Jean tries to do the same with Fred Dukes. At the same time, Sora and Fred try to understand crushes but Fred goes about it the wrong way. Can Sora convince Rogue to help him save Jean in time? Be sure to leave a review and if you haven't already, be sure to follow and fav. See you next time! :)
