Quite a few other anime and game series will be mentioned and told at the very end of the chapter.
I don't own RWBY or Kingdom hearts, so you know the Drill: Read, review and "What the fuc-BOOM"
Chapter 1: Xero bloodthorn part 2
Some time had past after their host had left them to 'fix' what ever was wrong with the threaten. Everyone went of to do their own thing, with Xero thankful being turned back into his fauns form.
Meaning he got legs back!
At the moment, he was in what they discovered the arena, that basically let's you create whatever opponent you want and allow you to fight it. Which is what Xero was doing right now.
"Firaga!"
"BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!"
Xero launched three fire spells against a large demon tower trying to attack him. The fire burned quite a few of them, but they just moved to attack a different way, making Xero jump back to prepare another spell. In the stands, many came to watch the boy fight.
Well all of beacon staff, his squad, friends, Sienna, Raven and family came to watch. Salem and her cohorts came to see just how big a threat the boy really is, The same could be said for general ironwood. He had heard tale of the young bloodthorn, form both people and even his own soldiers form when he saved them and Winter form what he now knows as the heartless. As a matter of fact, he was fighting the very creature that attacked the base Winter was at, nearly 14 mouths ago, when they began the hunt for the "Black death."
A nickname people had given the young fauns, as he's slaughtered both Grimm and people in spades for hurting innocent people. The reason being they called him that was really simple. wherever he goes death is bound to happen. The boy attracts Grimm like a magnet, a big one. Not that it mattered, as each time it was a one sided fight, with the tiger boy winning. And he's always wearing that black coat of his.
Ruby could't help but sigh in envy, same as Yang. They knew their brother was powerful, but after the first viewing, they've just barely scratch the surface of what he could do. Then they remembered how Xero explained how someone becomes a Keyblade wielder and wonder.
Could she wield a Keyblade?
Cardin was close to pissing himself. He knew the young fauns was strong, but didn't know he was THIS strong and with what happened on the rooftop before the trip to forever falls. He was rethinking his life choice's.
Raven was just proud her spawn was as powerful as he was. Though it was no surprise, he was her son after all. Even after all that's happened, she was just happy her only son was alive and well. The fact he had become so powerful was nothing more then icing on the cake. As she believed the strong survive and the weak die, so to her, seeing this made her very happy.
Tia-yang could't help but feel like he was watching a younger Raven. Even during their first year, Raven showed herself to be both strong and flashy with her dust swords. Destroying anything that was foolish enough to get in her way and did it like she was swatting a fly. Now he felt like he'd gone back in time and was watching a young Raven all over again.
Ozpin knew he made the right choice in letting the young Bloodthorn into beacon, along with his other friends, He had a feeling that their was something he and Xero shared in common, but could't figure out what. Now it all made sense and what they've seen so far is only the first of it all. Despite seeing only a little bit of his past, he knew they both felt the same pain of loss.
Ilia was currently wondering about her life choice's. Why were the white fang picking a fight with this guy again? Adam was thinking the same thing, but didn't let it show. After the fight on the train, he knew all his plans were threaten by his mere existence alone!
Neo just wanted to see things die and if these 'heartless' were it, then fine. She was denied the carnage on the screen, so she get to see some carnage right here and now. Nora was likewise in that regard, SHE. WANTED. BLOOD! Damnit! Roman just wanted to make sure the 'Black death' was everything the stories said he was and making sure if he jumped ship, Cinder could't do shit. And Judging by the amount of damage and power the kid is throwing around, some which looked like some of those attacks would drain a veteran huntsman with just one attack, going against the kid is simply suicide.
Fuck Ms. fire and brimstone.
However despite her early thoughts, Ilia wanted to talk to Blake. She wanted answer's as to why she betrayed them, but had to wait for now. She didn't mind though, Blake really could't go anywhere now. However seeing as she and Adam were surrounded by not only very powerful people, but also the absolute LAST person they wanted finding out what they had planned for the white fang aka Sienna. Make no mistake, unlike Adam, Ilia really did believe that violence was the only way to get equality. Her parents died in a schnee dust mine, so it was easy for Ilia to fit in with the white fang.
However recently her faith in the white fang has been shaken to the core when she met Xero bloodthorn aka the black death and Leone. More so the fact Xero, a fauns, was stopping the white fang and Leone torn into Ilia, much like Xero had done to Sienna, but she refused to show it. That didn't mean the truth behind the blonde lioness words hand't effected the lizard girl.
Quiet the opposite in fact.
Maybe this 'viewing' would help her find the truth, as she honestly could no longer see what was true and what wasn't. She could no longer trust anyone, not even her own thoughts.
Mercury meanwhile had been thinking over what Xero had told him, when he, Cinder and Emerald tried to ambush Amber for her powers. Only to be stopped by Xero and by stopped, he means, he complete and utterly moped the floor with them. Shocking, during the fight, he questioned both himself and the green haired thief about why there following Cinder.
Like Mercury, Xero saw right through the wannabe witch. He told them she would use them and once that usefulness was over, throw them away like trash. Then the guy offer's them a chance to work for HIM instead of Cinder. His reasons were unknown why he gave them the option to work for him and even said he protect them form Cinder if they did decide to defect and she tried to hurt them. But before either could answer or even ask why, he grabbed the injured fall maiden and ran off too fast for the trio to follow.
Emerald was in denial about what he said about Cinder, but the silver haired assassin took the time to stew over it and after all he's seen...he was like Roman in that regard.
Fuck Cinder.
He just hoped the offer still stood and with them in this room, the chance of Cinder finding out about his probably betrayal was very high. If she wasn't already aware, he knew she had been keeping a tighter leash on him lately and not doubt had thought he was planning to jump ship. The only reason why he wasn't reduced to ash was as Xero said. His usefulness hasn't run out.
Yet.
The reason he followed Cinder when they first met was pretty simple really. He had no where to go, his father was dead and it made sense at the time. For a time, Mercury was able to get new legs, but knew Cinder was only using him, but could do nothing about it. He was strong, but Cinder was on a whole another level. Then Xero shows up and proves, while Cinder is on another level, he was in a completely different league then he thought possible. His father might have been an asshole, he taught Mercury this.
If you're forced into something by someone, then meet someone who offer's a way out don't think just take it.
He knew Xero could have easily killed all three of them, even before this all started. So why would he go out of his way to extend himself and Emerald a way out? The only answer Mercury could come up with, is that he was one of those guys that would rather make friends with his enemies, but would't hesitate to kill someone if he thought they needed killing. He was glad, he fell into the second category.
Hell, those two other white haired girls didn't even bother to jump in the fray. The fouled mouth one just keep laughing at the three getting there ass's kicked, while the other stayed silent and helped the injured and weaken Amber.
"Bind!"
His thoughts were cut off, as he heard the young Keyblade wielder yell out another spell, that was golden chains. The chains warped around the demon tower, making the shadows making up the demon tower, turn into a small ball, that were struggling to get out but could't. The fauns then grunted and started swinging the ball around and soon slammed it into the ground.
"BOOM"
Causing a large dust explosion to erupt in the arena.
"Damn. Kid doesn't waste anytime does he."
Qrow said, taking a swing of his flask.
"No he does not."
A new dark voice spoke, making a good chuck of them jump, Qrow included. Everyone turned to the owner of the voice and saw...Xero?
No, another Xero, with silver hair and black streaks. His skin was a dark tan, with amber/gold eyes. His clothing was the same as the other Xero, with the color scheme swapped. He sat with his arms spread out and legs crossed, with a smirk on his face.
"H-huh, what why?"
Sun looked back and fourth to the Xero fighting and one sitting next to them. The other 'Xero' smirk just got bigger, as he leaned on his hand, with his elbow resting on his leg.
"What's the matter? That cat fauns got you're tongue?"
Blake hissed like an actually cat at that and glared at him, that did very little to scare him. He and doc have seen far, far worse.
"Who are you? What are you?" Raven asked/demanded, as the Xero lookalike chuckled.
"Who am i? Well, i guess you can call me the darkness in doc's heart manifested."
"His darkness?"
Ruby muttered, but before anyone could say anything, the other Xero faded away, as the one in the arena came up to the stands, wiping some sweat form his brow.
"Phew haven't fought that hard in a while."
He looked at everyone,"Any idea on when the next viewing is suppose to start." And as if waiting for him to say it, an intercom rang out.
"The next viewing will start soon."
"Huh, that was quick."
Kali said, as everyone moved back to the threaten.
"Finally. Took him long enough."
Yang said, digging into a bucket of popcorn, wanting to see the fauns boy kick some serious ass. Everyone, yes even Cardin and Adam, were excited to see the young fauns take on an army of heartless. Everyone had gotten and returned to their seats, waiting to see what would be an epic battle. They had all taken there seats and were waiting eagerly.
Tryain meanwhile just wanted to see some violence, while Salem wanted to see just how the boy would fare against an army.
"Sorry, but if you're expecting to see the giant fight of Xero Vs. a thousand heartless, it's not going to happen."
BDS appeared before them again and his statement caused quite a few frowns.
"Well, jack hope you've got something good for us then."
Roman said, as Neo nodded with a big pout.
She wanted to see some carnage, oum damn it!
With Tryain agreeing.
"Worry not. If you wanted to see an epic fight, you're going to get one. Xero," The fauns looked up at their host, suddenly having a sinking feeling in his stomach,"do you remember a man named, Sephiroth?"
Xero paled feeling old wounds aching at the name, as everyone felt a chill go up there spines at the name alone. As for Xero, he was shivering, something his lovers noticed and was confused. Esdeath knew her lover was powerful, she go as far as to say OP(Overpowered) so for him to shiver like he is...
It didn't bone well.
Meaning this 'Sephiroth' was someone you did not take lightly.
Oh you have no idea Esdeath.
"Well the next fight you see will be with him, but first things first. We are going to be getting more people." That made some look up. More people? "And one of the new people will be the former fall maiden, Amber," Cinder, Salem, Qrow and Ozpin looked up at that. Former fall maiden? What did that mean? "You're wife and son, Saphron," The oldest arc sister looked happy at that. "And the other Keyblade wielders." Miria got sinking feeling in her stomach, did he mean," And yes that also means Neideen."
"Oh by the twins no!"
Miria groaned, making everyone, who didn't know the one eyed girl, wonder why she looked to be in pain.
"Why do you have to bring that pervert here?!"
She demanded, Making many look at her in confusion.
Pervert?
Ruby shivered, feeling wired again, as the rest of her team understood Miria's pain, Weiss especially.
Neideen liked the petite. And she had absolutely no problem with showing it.
They were just thankful Xero kept her busy and satisfied. Which was hard to do thank you very much.
But she just ignored the looks, glaring at the host, whom she swore was smirking.
"Because i can."
Before she could protest, a flash of light and new people arrived. Soon their stood Terra Cotta-Arc, her son Adrian, Amber autumn, Velvet crowe, Laura bodewig, Claire 'lighting' Farron, the fouled mouth Alicia(A2), the quiet Beth(2B), the stern Eva(Commander android white) Aqua, Asia argento Ravel phenex, Mikasa Ackerman, Armin alert, Shino (Sinon) asada, Natasha Romanoff(Black widow) Felicia hardy(Black cat) Roxanne, Sistina, Neideen, Flora, Helen, Deneve, Ophelia, Clare, Cynthia, Rafaela and Galatea.
"Huh?
"What the, where are we?"
"The fuck?! The hell are we?!"
"Alicia! Langue!"
"Fuck off!"
" Girls! Now's not the time for arguing!"
"Damnit Neideen! What did you do?"
"Oi! Why you blaming me?!"
"Because you're you."
Was Xero's deadpan tone, making everyone look to see everyone else.
"Xero?"
Clare looked surprised, before her questioning gaze turned stoic again, looking around,"Where are we?"
This made Xero sigh, as all the girls looked at everyone.
"It's a long story."
One long explanation later:
"Damn."
Shocking this came form the unmovable one eyed warrior, Rafaela, who's said one eye, widen in shock.
The new arrivals all had the same thought as the former number 5. The others agreed with the sentiment.
"Well this'll be fun to watch."
Teresa spoke form within Clare's head, as the woman's adopted daughter nodded. Her love never really talked much about his past, so this be a good chance to learn a lot about him.
"Well, it's not like we haven't seen weirded."
Said Helen with a grin, plopping down into a seat,"Who knows, could be fun."
Deneve sighed, typical Helen. But she would't have her any other way, as she took a seat next to her best friend. The two practical joint to the hip.
"Man, can't believe this."
Armin said mostly to himself, deep in thought. Not that anyone could blame him, after all, it's not everyday you get zapped into a threaten room that is showing you the future. This only made Leone grin, smacking the the blonde on the back.
"Ohh, come one Armin, this isn't the craziest thing we've been through together."
She told the only other male of the group. The blonde looked at the busty one.
"Yeah i know. It's just..." He trailed off, trying to find the right word. Thankful, Laura butted in.
"A lot to process?"
She asked, as Armin nodded. The red headed super spy on the other hand, merely patted Armin's back. Even his big brain, that was like Stark's but thankful not as obnoxious, had to have time to process all that.
"But still why did you bring us here?"
Asked the super spy, Natasha.
BDS simply said,"I told you, to prevent what is to come."
The redhead simply narrowed her eyes, she knew how to read people and could tell he was lying but had nothing to prove it.
For now.
"So will be watching mentor's life before he came to remnant?"
Amber had some idea of her teacher's past, but not all of it. It didn't help that Laura did not 'approve' of her being their shared mentor student and did nothing to hide that fact. The sliver haired girl, one eyed girl made her thoughts know quite plainly in her actions. Nothing life threatening, but more or less, insults and showing her up.
Laura simple proved SHE was the better pupil. Proving to her mentor, that she wasn't worth the effort.
What can you expect? She's German.
And she did not like the idea of anyone taking her mentor away.
BDS nodded,"Quite miss Autumn. So before you all ask more questions, lets start the viewing, but first." With that he vanished again and a bright light enveloped Xero once again. Once it died down, it revealed him in a new outfit. His vampire form, he wore complete black outfit with faded leather. He wore white gloves, with clawed finger nails. The shoulders of his jacket are gray, with very small wings on his upper back. His shoes were big, black and pointy with gray strips on them. His legs are wrapped in white and black bandages and his canines are more pointed and his face, around his eyes have become more ashen. He wore a pumpkin on the left side of his face and his hair was a lighter shade of black and sliver. He had single fang pointing out of his mouth on the left side.
"My vampire form?"
Xero looked down at himself, as Ruby zipped up to him, with stars in her eyes.
"Oh wow! You look so cool!"
Many just chuckled at this as everyone got comfy as waiting for the screen to start again. Though many did have to admit, Ruby is right. He did look pretty cool and scary.
"Heh, not a bad look for you kid."
Qrow said, taking a swing of his flask.
"Is this the form you took, when you went to Halloween town Xero-sama?"
Ravel asked, having a pretty good idea that it was, but wanted to know for sure.
"Yeah."
He smiled, feeling a wave of nostalgic hitting him. It has been so long since he even thought about Jack and the rest of Halloween town. Hell he hasn't even thought of any of his old friends since...
"No don't think about it Xero."
He shook his head, old wounds and scars that have still yet to heal ached a bit. Ravel frowned in concern, feeling his mood shift, thanks to their bond, but he shot her a smile, mentally telling her, he's fine. So she backed off.
For now.
The other girls noted the shift in his mood, but like Ravel they left it alone for now.
"So..." Ilia didn't even see her move, as the buff, short haired, one eyed woman, know as Neideen somehow moved form across the room, over the seats and wrapped an arm around the smaller woman in less the a second.
"What's your story, cutie?"
Ilia just stared mouth gaping, along with quite a few others. How the fuck did she move so fast?! Those use to her, just sighed, that didn't take long for her to find a new victim of her perversion.
Bloody Pervert.
"Should't you do something about that?"
Vernal asked, looking at the odd scene in front of her.
Roxanne of love and hate just snorted and waved her arms.
"Better her getting molested then us. We deal with her shit enough as it is."
"Swear!"
Ruby yelled pointing the Finger of Doom at Roxanne and holding out a jar, labeled,"Swear jar." The pig tailed woman just gave a flat stare to the other girl, who in response shook the jar a little, making it juggle a bit. Grumbling a little, Roxanne put a lien in the jar, making Ruby beam. She keep's this up then she'll be richer then Weiss. Roxanne tended to swear a lot, thus Ruby found a new scheme to make money.
Her dad, sister and uncle did that a lot too. It's how she was able to get the parts to built her baby after all. Alicia just glared at that stupid swear jar, she lost a lot of lien to that damn thing! She had to borrow some lien form her lover and friends for all the times she swore.
Which was a lot.
Like a ridiculous amount.
I mean like A LOT.
To he point, Ruby had made small fortune, form the two alone.
Cinder meanwhile glared at the new arrivals, the two she knew as A2 and 2B. The two white haired, blue eyed former androids were with Xero after they came to stop Cinder form taking Amber's power. Power that was rightful her's(Pssh, yeah right flame bitch).
Before more could be said, the screen started.
Xero Bloodthorn part two:
Darkness rising
"Well that's not ominous at all."
One of the arc sister's, Jade said in a sarcastic tone, as everyone felt a shiver run up their spine at the title.
Even Salem at the ominous title.
After getting through the giant heartless horde, me Donald, Goofy and king Mickey had found Xehnaort's nobody, who now went by the name Xenmas. I hand't realized it at the time, nor did i think of it, but if you rearrange the words and replace the X with an A, it spills Ansem. Just one more screw you to his master.
Many frowned at that.
"He really doesn't like his master did he?"
Sun asked, as Xero shrugged.
"It was more of mockery then anything else."
Lighting said, as everyone nodded, that made sense.
Though we didn't get much form him and he vanished, along with king Mickey into a dark corridor. However in a shocking turn of events we learned what the organization was really after, thanks to Axel. The one who had be-friend my nobody, Roxas. Turns out the organization needed me, or more specifically my Keyblade.
"Everyone wants one of those."
Tia said, as he noticed throughout their short viewing, everyone had that gleam in their eyes. The gleam of wanting something, especially that fall girl.
"Too bad many aren't worthy of such power."
Laura said, with a haughty tone and a German accent. She smirked, making others pissed at the one eyed girl, while others sighed. Laura had one of the darkest past in there group. She was like Akame, trained to be a soldier form a young age, only to be saved and freed by Xero, who she in turn swore her life to.
Like Jean, she was the honorable type.
And much like Jean, she fell for the tiger fauns.
"Agreed."
Felicia said nodding," Xehnaort is a prefect example of what could happen." The Keyblades all frowned and nodded with the white haired former thief, while Xero's eyes flashed at the mention of his worst enemy.
Martin Li, Norman Osborn and doctor Octavius, while villains, did what they thought was truly right and not out of selfishness. They did what they did, because they believed it was the only way.
Even if innocent people had to be hurt to achieve it.
Something Xero, Felicia and Peter Parker aka Spider-man could not condone.
"Who's Xehanort?"
Asked Terra, as she was still trying to wrap her head around everything.
"Our worst enemy."
Akame said simply, but their was a certain edge to her voice, that quite frankly scared quite a few people. Hell the air was growing colder, due to Esdeath growling at the mention of his name.
She hated that man.
Because they needed hearts.
"Huh?"
Was everyone general thought, till shocking Nora shot up.
"Oh! I get it! It's because the heartless capture hearts and those nobodies want them hearts!"
Everyone stared at the hyper girl, till they looked at Xero for confirmation, which he nodded.
"But why? Would't the hearts get released upon the heartless being destroyed?"
Asked Ironwood, who wanted as much information on both the heartless, nobodies, this 'organization 13' and of course the Keyblade.
"Maybe if you stopped interrupting, you'd learn something."
Sienna said with a smirk. Despite she too wanting to learn, knew the screen would tell them.
If only these morons stop talking!
Ironwood glared at the high leader of the white fang, but one look form Ozpin made him stop and sit down.
For now.
A fun little fact about the Keyblade, is that while any other weapon can destroy the heartless, the Keyblade ALONE is the only way to release the hearts captured.
Everyone 'Oh' at that.
Then he told me, the organization had taken Kairi. Before he could tell me more however, another member, Siax if i remember right, had interrupted us. Axel had more or less gone against the organization's best interest and was consider a traitor.
All to help me.
Many smiled at that.
"You sure he doesn't have a heart?"
Ruby asked, as Xero did nothing more then smile.
"Nah. Nobody or not, if you can see the heart, that's all you need to know, to see it's real."
"Yeah just look at Roxanne."
Galatea said with a smirk, getting a squawk form the woman.
"Hey!"
Though this did get a few laughs, making the pig tailed girl pout.
Then in another shocking turn of events, after i had lost the will to fight, Maleficent, whom i thought had been dealt with, had come in to save me. If only so i could destroy the organization for her.
Even the most selfless actions can have selfish motives.
"Sad, but true."
Ozpin said, shaking his head, as some looked down in shame, while others looked smug at the very true statement. Salem just smirked, yep she was liking the dark fairy queen more and more.
Armin just sighed, as did Mikasa did. That sounded an awful lot like the political bullshit back in their world. Natasha simply sighed, shaking her head. In all her time as a spy, she's seen her far share of corruption and many regains fall. Though she tended not to weep over such things.
What can you do?
Natasha's Russia.
Anyway, we returned to Hollow bastion, to help Leon with a compute problem.
And not the simple kind either.
"That doesn't sound good."
Winter said, as James sighed.
"Schnee, so far we seen what should have been simple problems turn into something completely different. I think it's safe to assume this is going to be different as well."
"Can't argue with that."
That came form another arc sister, Saphron(Form RWBY volume 6)
"No kidding."
Chelesa said, rubbing her forehead, already feeling a headache coming on.
Turns out Ansem had created a compute program to protect the town. However the MPC(Master control program) went haywire and tired to blow up the town.
"Say what?!"
Many all but screamed at that. Making all quite a few cover their ears. Those who had two set's of ears only made it that much worse.
But thanks to another computer program named Torn, we were already to stop it.
If only for a little while, while we figure out how to stop it. To do that me and the other two half-pints had to go INTO the compute itself, to help Torn not only get past the heartless it created, but defeat the MPC. Which it made things even more harder, as it was constantly sending heartless out into the town, since it could't destroy it in one fell swoop.
Talk about a sore loser.
"Hah, you can't help but make friends with everyone, can you?"
Helen said, laughing a little, as Xero shrugged.
"Meh, it's a gift."
Many agreed with that, as he made friends with a damn program of all things, he had to have some sort of gift. Shino actually blushed at bit, clearly remembering her, hating his guts.
But like many others, he broke down her barrier's and made her care.
"How did you go into a computer?"
Watts just had to ask, his time in Atlas while brief, let him know many of the kingdom accomplishments. But to hear of someone, a human, going INTO said computer, not even the most technology advance kingdom could pull that off. Ironwood had to agree with the man on this one, as Atlas had nothing as advanced as that.
Yet.
Xero just shrugged.
"No idea. I'm an islander boy, the most advance thing we had back home was a light bub."
That just reminded everyone he was indeed form the destiny islands. "How i'm i suppose to know how a super computer works?"
Fair point.
Many grumbled, but accepted the answer.
Anyway, we helped Torn take down the MPC and restored it back to the way it is suppose to be. And by that i mean not a killer machine.
Some chuckled at that.
"Yeah. Dealt with plenty of those in our world."
Beth whispered to Eve, as the long haired woman nodded.
Been there, done that, not doing it again.
Afterword, we did a mop up of the remaining heartless and that was easy enough. However it was during my search did i met HIM.
The one winged angel of death: Sephiroth.
The scene change to Xero walking toward the edge of the great maw, with a tall man, with long sliver hair and long sword attached to his hip, with his back to him.
"What is Cloud doing?" The man asked, not turning to see him.
Xero simply shrugged.
"Beats me."
"That's a little odd."
Kali said, not sure what to think, as that was kind of out of the blue. Sistina on the other hand shivered a bit. Her one eye widen, the fear in her single eye clear.
"This isn't going to end well."
She said, mostly to herself. Everyone who already knew of how Xero got the scar on his glared at the man on screen, with some like Miria, Jean, Roxanne and even the kind hearted Cynthia glared death at the man. Velvet merely growled, releasing a few wisps of demonic power, as Lighting bit her lip so hard she drew blood, glaring at the winged man.
"This man is dangerous."
Adam said, his eyes narrowed under his mask. Despite being brought here against his will, he would take this unique opportunity to learn all he can about the one of a kind fauns.
This man however...something was differently off about him.
"You have no idea."
Ophelia said, narrowing her eyes. She remembered him all to well.
He was like her, back before she met Xero, only a lot colder and more calculating then she ever was. Hell, he was probably more ruthless then she ever was too.
"Is he a fauns?"
Asked Ilia, taking note of the odd wings on the taller man's body.
Lighting shook her head," No. He's was apart of the military program in my world called, SOLIDER. He was called the best and nicknamed 'The one winged angel of death'.
Ilia nodded, as Watts added his own two cents.
"Must be powerful then to get a nickname like that."
"He could wipe out a whole army of heavily armored soldiers with a single swipe of his sword and clever the planet in half without trying if he so desired."
Lighting said off handley nonchalant, as she waited for everyone reaction.
And she was not disappointed.
"PSSHHHSSHHHH!"
Those who didn't know him, did amazing spit-takes, even the unmovable Ozpin who had actually dropped his ever present mug making it shatter on the ground. Others like Cinder and Ironwood suddenly found themselves chocking on air, as some like Salem, had the jaw break through the floor.
Not drop to the floor. Break through the floor.
Hell Ilia even went white.
Not figuratively but literally turned sheet paper white.
Roman on the other hand, was chocking on his own smoke, to which Neo would have helped him. Had she not been frozen in pure shock at someone having that type of power. Cinder was like her mistress, wondering just how in the name of the seven hell's did some one grow that strong?!
Was it even possible? To grow so strong, someone could wipe destroy entire planets with a single swipe of their sword? If it was, how could she get such power?
Ozpin and his group all did a double take and nearly fall out of there seats in pure shock alone. Much like the students. Xero's group didn't surprised at all, they expected this kind of reaction. Not that they could be blamed though. Xero could't help but groan a little, what the hell was he thinking about taking on the one winged angel of death alone?
He was lucky all he got was the scar on his chest. Had Lighting and Cloud not gotten there when they did, he shivered at the implications alone.
"That man was one of the strongest soldiers in history."
A new voice spoke out with an absolutely heavenly voice with a mature tone, as another one, with a childish tone spoke next, equally heavenly voice that had a mature tone to it.
"Quite sister. However, such power was wasted on him for hurting our beloved."
"GAH!"
Everyone(minus Xero) jumped at the two new voices and looked behind them and...Oh.
All the males, yes even Hazel, Tyrian, Ozpin, Ironwood, Ghira, Adam and of course, Ilia Who's entire body turned red (Literary) and drew quite a few blushes and nose bleeds. Neideen and Sistina however gasped in pure shock.
Why?
Because before stood, er, floated two woman. Both had long golden blonde hair, with porcelain skin, and ocean blue eyes. They wore simple white dress's, that showed off their divine shaped bodies, with an unearthly glow and aura around them that demanded fear and respect.
"W-what, who are you? When'd you get here?"
Jaune stuffing his nose with tissue's, as the two woman looked at each other, then smirked at the crowd and spoke in union.
"The twin goddess of love."
No one said anything, just staring in shock, as the 'movie' started playing again.
"By the way, who are you?"
Without warning, the man drew his VERY LONG blade and swung it at Xero, as he jumped back, summoning his Keyblade. The man then got a gleam in his eye, with his small smile growing a little wider.
"Now THAT'S an interesting blade. It would't happen to be a Keyblade, would it?"
Despite every instinct, every single cell in his body screaming,"RUN" Xero stood his ground.
"So what if it is?"
The man's smirk only grew, doing nothing more then make the pit in Xero's stomach grow ever deeper.
(Play Sephiroth's theme song)
"Uh-oh."
Ruby said, after getting over her shock, sunk in her seat, upon hearing the new song.
"Shit. You know, a guy's strong, if he's got his own theme song."
Everyone looked at Cardin in shock, making the bully frown.
"What?"
"Nothing."
Weiss said,"Just surprised at hearing that form you."
The boy merely scoffed, crossing his arms.
"Yeah, yeah."
The twins, Xero and his group. Their's hope for the Winchester heir after all.
"I wonder."
The man said, as he got into a fighter's stance, raising his sword above his head," Will it chose me to be it's new master, when i defeat you."
Then without missing a beat, he vanished and appeared behind Xero, who quickly moved his Kingdom key to block twenty sword strikes, making a loud,"Clung's".
"Twenty?!"
Raven nearly chocked on her drink at hearing that. Being a master of the sword herself, she knew people could do quite a few things with the blade. But this man, no this...monster her only son was facing, she...she didn't even see him move and he was able to deliver TWENTY strikes.
In a single strike.
Just what in the name of all that was good and holy was this man?!
Even Adam, who hated being here and could do nothing actually chocked on the air.
He was fast, but not THAT fast! And was having similar as Raven.
Who or what the hell was this guy?!
"Hmm, not bad."
The winged said, with a smile, as Xero quickly closed the distance between and attacked. He brought the Kingdom key down on the man, but was blocked. Xero glared as the man's smirk never left.
The two trade blows.
Or more like Xero tried to hit him, but the man merely lazaly blocked each strike. Growling at this, Xero jumped back and aimed his Keyblade at the man, yelling.
"Fire!"
Shooting a large fire ball at the man, who merely smacked it away with his hand.
Yang narrowed her eyes, pushing lips together as she noticed something.
"How come you haven't said any thing sassy yet?"
That made everyone, who knew or fought Xero, blink. It was true, Xero always sassed well...anyone really. Be they friend, foe, teacher anyone. Thought that was just how he was to be honest. He could be serious when needed and understanding when called for, but for the most part, he liked to annoy people. But he did back off, when he knew he was taking it a little too far.
"Hey Yang's right."
Weiss said, then blinked again, shaking her head,"Wow that felt wired to say."
Ignoring that maybe insult, Yang looked at Xero who said,"This was before i knew just how cruel life could be."
With his cryptic words said, everyone returned looking to the screen, as those who know what he was talking about, sighed.
Like many he learned it the hard way. Destroying his innocent soul and many others in the process.
Though Xero tried to use that as cover to strike the man. Moving after he launched the fire ball, he moved behind him and tried to swipe at his back, only for the man, who didn't move his head, block his back.
"Clung"
Making a loud ring, as the two swords vibrate upon contact, shaking his entire body.
"Okay, that looked like it hurt."
Mercury said, wincing at the sight.
You do know he's toying with you, right kid?"
Asked Roman, seeing how easily the man was manhandling the kid. Aqua meanwhile narrowed her eyes, seeing those tale tell signs.
Signs of the darkness she was all to familiar with.
"Damn. He's toying with me."
Xero thought, gritting his teeth, feeling the violent vibration shake him. The fact the sliver haired never stopped smirking only made Xero even more anger.
"Called it."
Roman said with a smirk, making Nat smack him upside the head. The Russian spy could't shake the bad feeling she got form the sliver haired man and only knew him form what Lighting had told her.
Was he really that dangerous?
"Shit i need more power."
He jumped back and yelled out.
"Thunder!"
The gold lighting hit their mark, but the man wordless brought up a barrier blocking the lighting bolts.
"Okay, that's just not fair."
Shocking enough, Nichols said this seeing how easily the swordsman was beating back his son's mentor.
Many agreed with the elder arc on that one, that was unfair.
Growling more, Xero moved to engaged the man in swordplay, resulting in a serious of Clung's.
"CLUNG, CLUNG, CLUNG, CLUNG!"
But each one was blocked, making Xero even more anger.
Which shocked him a little as he was not normally a person that got anger so easily. But something about the man simply ticked him off and put him on edge at the same time.
The point is the man made him anger.
Very anger.
So anger in fact, essence of darkness being to seep out of his body as his eyes turned form purple to a sickly yellow.
"I need more power. More, more, MORE."
Everyone jumped at the sudden change of Xero's voice and body. But the fact his voice changed, really scared a few people. This included the only baby in the threaten room.
"Oh boy."
Ophelia said, knowing full well what's going on.
"This isn't good."
Rafaela said, seeing that same look her sister had, before she awakened on her lover's face. The desire for more power to protect what you love or in this case, shutting someone up for looking down on you.
It's intoxicating and very addicting.
I hand't realized at the time, but because i had already turned into a heartless and became human once more, my heart was closer to the darkness then i ever could have imaged.
Thus making me more vulnerable to the darkness's influence.
"Is that a common problem?"
Asked Ghira looking at the Keyblade wielders.
It was Mikasa who answered,"Yes. All Keyblade wielders are vulnerable to the darkness, as darkness itself exists in every heart."
Ghira nodded at that, understandable. Thought that did pose more questions.
Glynda asked the next question.
"Does it happen often? Keyblade wielders turning dark i mean."
Mikasa pressed her lips together, trying to come up with the right words to say, but Armin beat her to the punch.
"Not as often as one one might think. Even then, the Keyblade wielder would become a very powerful heartless, but then their are those like...Xehanort."
Armin liked to think he was a fairly reasonable person. He wasn't one to judge a book by it's cover and would be willing to hear someone out on why they did what they did. He did with Annie, even though it was plain as day, she was the female titan. He helped Peter find out why Martin Li created the demons and discover his connection to Oscorp and Norman Osborn. Each one of them was hurt, brainwashed or simply didn't think their was no other way and some remorse for what they had done.
But never the less, they truly believed what they were doing was right.
But Xehanort...
Not him. He was just selfish.
That man was a monster in human form. Not even Esdeath was that bad, when they first met. She was a sadistic, yes, but she at least admitted it and was honest with herself.
It seemed everyone agreed with the blonde, as they all turned back to the screen. But before it could start, a door appeared in a flash light, confusing everyone, when BDS reappeared.
"Miss Terra, i do believe it be best you take you're son to another room. What's coming next is NOT baby approved."
Wordless Terra nodded taking her son to the next room, as Saphron watched her wife and son leave with a worried expression, but understood why. She had a feeling the next few viewings were only going to get worse.(FYI i'm not going to write that ever time Terra goes into the other room, only during the real bloody and dark scenes like this)
You have no idea.
Back to the fight, Xero growled as more and more darkness went into his body. His skin started to become more and more black, as the darkness covered his entire body.
"Oh man, that's REALLY not good."
Sun said, in a worried tone, seeing the blackness crawling up his body. Xero's friends and family all looked very worried at that, as Tia looked very worried for what might as well be his son. Raven however was griping her son so tight, it threaten to break under the black haired mother's grip.
Even if she didn't realize it.
Meanwhile Salem just looked on with interest, as did Tyrain, who was more then happy to finally see some fighting.
"I need more. More, MORE POWER!"
Xero thought as he kept striking at the man, who blocked each one but was slowly being pushed back, making his smile widen for only a fraction. So this boy was getting stronger.
Strong enough to push him back even if it was only a little,"Let's see what else you can do."
With that in mind, the man used his free hand and,"WHAM" struck him with an open palm hand and enough force to send Xero flying back into the walls.
Not even a second later, did Xero come flying out with his Keyblade and tried to strike the angel of death again. Only to zip past Sephiroth making dust pick up as he twisted around, landing just at the edge of the cliff with even more darkness slowly crawling up his body.
"Not bad. You almost ha-"
He froze however, his entire body becoming stiff.
"Did you get him?"
Asked Nichols, seeing how the man froze thinking that Xero finally had the upper hand, but Xero said simply.
"No. All that did was make it worse."
Slowly, the one winged angel of death brought a hand to his cheek felt the red liquid of blood going down his cheek.
"Uh, that's good right?"
Ruby asked, seeing her brother had managed to hurt the one winged angel of death,"You manged to hurt him, that's good." She tried to smile at that, but saw the looks on the Keyblade wielders face's told her a different story.
"Right?"
"You have no idea of just how monstrous that man can be, once he's riled up."
Lighting said simply, knowing full well just how powerful Sephiroth is. Especially during what they now call,"The infinity Keyblade war". The one true final battle against Master Xehanort and Thanos.
The one winged angel then chuckled and looked at the Keyblade wielder.
"All that...for a drop of blood."
He said in a taunting tone, making Xero even angry before he started screaming as he felt the darkness speed up in it's corruption.
"AAAAAGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!"
Soon enough, Xero's body become covered in darkness completely and with a loud,"BOOM" Forcing Sephiroth back, but he never lost his smile.
"Well now, that's an interesting new look."
He said, mostly to himself, as the dust settled revealing Xero in a new form.
He was covered in darkness form head to toe, with his eyes a sicking yellow with no pupil's. His entire form was a shade darker and so was his Keyblade with his finger nails more claw like.
Xero was gone and in his place was ANTI-XERO.
"Anti-Xero."
Ruby said, shivering with fear at the name alone.
And she wasn't alone in that regard.
I honestly don't know what happened after that, as i blacked out.
Que Yang's giggling a the pun and everyone else groaning at it.
All i know is that when i awoke, the first thing i noticed was that Donald, Goofy and Lighting were with me. The next was the horrible pain in my chest, were i found out that what i know now named Sephiroth, decide to leave his mark on me.
"Ugh."
Xero groaned, rubbing the scar on his chest absentmindedly, feeling phantom pains rise again.
"That was one of the times i had my ass so soundly handed to me on a sliver plate."
"Tell me about it."
Areo groaned, remembering how easily the one winged angel of death kicked his ass.
Ultimate SOLDIER indeed.
"It just goes to show, those who try to control something, ALWAYS blows up in their face's."
Teresa said, with a pointed look at Ironwood, making the man flinch at the goddess's glare. Normally he would'd glared back, but he's smart enough NOT to try and fight an actually goddess's on the matter.
He would simply lose.
As it turns out, that man had left a huge X scar on my chest. I can faintly remember him saying before i passed out,"Get stronger. As strong as you possible can and then come find me. You have the potential to defeat me, but not like you are now. Get stronger, then find me and we'll settle it there."
"Why would he do that?"
Asked Jaune, seeing no sense or reason in the one winged angel's actions. The Keyblade wielders were silent, till the blue/greenish haired sniper spoke up for the first time since she came here.
"Honestly, we have no idea."
Sinon truly had no idea as to WHY the one winged angel let her lover live or even tell him to get stronger so he can fight him again. She sighed, he was probably just simply insane.
There's a lot of sighing.
Anyway, it became clear to me, Radiant garden was no longer safe. So with that in mind, me Donald, Goofy and shocking enough Lighting left the world to continue our journey.
Despite now knowing the Organization's goal in using my Keyblade, to gather hearts, i still had a job to do:
Destroy the heartless.
"And this is why i'm no hero, red."
Roman said, taking a whiff of his smoke, making said,"Red" glare at him cutely.
She looked more like a puppy glaring then a huntress. Never the less, this is why Roman stopped trying to be a hero. He learned long ago that the world wasn't a nice place and the real reasons hero's didn't exist in remnant:
They all die.
If you're a hero, to Roman, it means people expect the best out of you. Meaning you would give up EVERYTHING to help them. This include's there life, which Roman didn't really agree with. Hence why he came up with his Motto: Lie, cheat, steal and survive.
As long as he did all four, he'd be fine.
In the coming mouths however, i never once could have predicted what was to come.
Nor what i would have lost to achieve victory.
The screen went dark after that.
"Well, that's not ominous at all."
And as usual, Roman pointed out the obvious, making everyone roll there eyes at him, but also worried.
What else did Xero lose?
Done.
Okay, first off this chapter wasn't as long as i would have liked, nor did it get as far as i would have liked.
