Hours. That's how long it felt to Ruby after finding out something big about Penny. That she was, infact, a robot. Ruby stared at Penny's hands, which were torn to revial cuts with metal replacing blood. Her words echoing in Ruby's head 'I'm not a real girl' over and over. Though this did explain to Ruby about Penny's strange behavior and awesome attacks from the docks. Plus after finding out that there are other worlds and that some of your friends were from said worlds, finding out another friend is a robot isn't to hard to comprehend. But it was still hard for Ruby
"Penny" Ruby broke the silence "I-I don't understand"
"Most girls are born, but i was made" Penny explained "I'm the worlds's first sythetic person capable of generating an aura. I'm not real..."
Ruby looked back at penny's hands and closed them up
"Of course you are. You think just because you've got nuts and bolts instead of squishy guts makes you any less real than me?"
"I don't, um..." Penny looked at Ruby closer, confused at how Ruby wasn't freaking out "You're taking this extrodanaraly well"
"Well i found out something preety big about my friend Sora today. After learning that, i think i can-"
"Wait! You're friends with Sora?"
Penny let go of Ruby's comferting hands, and both of them were shocked at how the other knew Sora
"Wait, you know Sora too?" Ruby asked
"Yeah... By secret, do you mean..." Penny pointed up to the skies
Ruby nodded at her gester. Than she realized what Penny just did. Meaning she knew Sora was not from Remnant
"How do you know about other worlds though?"
"Well" Penny remembered back to the meating of the keyblade weilder and his friends from mear days "When he, Kairi, Riku and Lea first got here with Master Yen Sid to enroll them at your academy, Mr. Ironwood was over there talking about stuff with Ospin, and i was there at the time. While the adults talked, Mr. Ironwood said it was ok for me to know they were from another world, as long as i didn't tell anyone. In return, they could know about my secret as long as they also didn't tell"
"The general? The general also know about other worlds?!"
"Yep. How did you find out though?"
Well, i'm, kind of having... visions" Ruby scratched her head "Which are memories of Sora's past adventures across a veriaty of different worlds, and when i told, him he said that all of what i am seeing did happen to him. We don't know why it happens when i toutch him though, but i promised that me and my team would keep all that a secret"
"That's very good" Penny sighed about Ruby's secret skills. Back to this situation "So, can you keep my secret to?"
"Of course. Just know, that you're not like those things we saw back there. You've got a heart" Ruby poked Penny's chest "And soul, i can feel it"
"Oh! Oh Ruby! You're the best friend anyone could ever have!"
Penny pulled Ruby in for a huge squeese. Penny's arms were very strong, giving Ruby a hard time to breathe
"I can see why your father would want to protect such a delicate flower!"
Penny let go, giving Ruby time to breathe
"Oh, he's very sweet. My father's the one who built me! I'm sure you would just love him!"
"Wow, he built you all by himself?"
"Well almost, he had some help from Mr. Ironwood"
"I guess that's why those guys are after you?"
"Yeah. They just arn't sure if i'm ready yet. One day, it will be my job to save our world, but i still have a lot to learn. That's why my father let me come to the vital festivele. I want to know what it's like in the rest of the world, and test myself in the tournament"
"Penny what are you talking about? Save the world from what? We're in a time of peace"
"That's not what Ironwood said. Although Master Yen Sid did say we were, for now, safe from the heartless"
"The heartless?"
"Check down here!" The girls heard a soldier chasing them
"ou have to hide!"
Penny than picked up Ruby and, having no where else to hide her, put here in a neer by dumpster
"Penny! What are you doing? You don't have to go with them I can help you!"
"It's okay Ruby, they're not bad people. I just don't want you to get in trouble. Just promise me you won't tell anyone mine or Sora's secret. Okay?"
"I promise"
Penny closed the lid on the dumpster. Ruby opened up the lid slightly to see Penny confront the 2 soldiers, listaning to what they were saying.
"Salutations, officers!"
"Why were you running?" One soldier asked "And what happened to the oter girl?"
"What girl? I've been by myself all day" Penny hiccuped once again, but dismissed it before the soldiers noticed
"You souldn't cause such a scene"
"Are you ok?"
"Just a scratch" Penny showed them her hands
"Penny, your father isn't going to be happy about this. Please just come with us"
"Yes sir" Penny said as she and the soldiers walked away
As they exsited the ally way, Ruby couldn't help but be curiouse about the "heartless" that penny mentioned. She heard about them in some of the visions she had, but didn't know what they were. Than Ruby suddenly got a headache that made her close the dumpster lid
"There's our target. Reports say that this one's a toughy"
"Thoughy or not, it won't be a problem once we're done"
"Ugh..."
"Hm? Are you ok?"
"Y-yeah, I'm fine. Just got a sudden headache"
"You sure you don't want to head back? We can look for the target another day"
"No, i'll be fine. Honest"
"Are you 2 done kissing each other's boo-boos? Now come on! Let's get that heartless!"
Ruby snapped out of her small trance, shocked at the suddeness of it
"What in the world was that?" She asked herself "What were those voices?"
Yang and Neptune had just gotten to the streat to where Yang's friend aparently was. She parked her bummblebee, and she and Neptune got off, Neptune being amazed at Yang's driving skills. Yang looked around at the parking and grined
"Well would you look at that. No other cars, modercycles, or anything that would indicate that Lea and Riku beat us. And they said they could beat us here"
"And where exactly is here?"
As the 2 walked inside, they walked by 2 men who were horrified at Yang's apperence, and dashed over to the main door, blocking the doors so the 2 couldn't enter. So Yang blew up the doors and she and Neptune entered in
"Guess who's back?"
As Yang was all relaxed, other men had guns pointed at Yang. As all this was happening, the music in the background was studdering. Yang glared at the DJ, who had a bear head on him, and he turned off the music completely
"Yeah, so could you define friend for me?" Neptune asked
Before the men shot, the owner of the place, who wen't by the name Junior, stopped them and cut in front to see Yang
"Blondie!" He addressed Yang "You're here. It's about time"
"Aw, did you miss me Junior?" Yang cressed er hand on his cheek
Junior threw the hand off "No, but your friends told me that you'd be here"
"Uh, friends?"
Junior and his men backed off for a good view of the bar area of the club, where Yang and Neptune were shocked at who was there. Riku and Lea. Both their jaws dropped as wide as they could, and the 2 rushed over to the Red and White haired boys
"RIKU!? LEA!? HOW DID YOU GET HERE?!" Yang asked, completely bewildered
"Looks like our ride was faster. We came over here, waiting on you 2 for what felt like forever
"But there arn't any cars or bikes or anything that you can use for quick transportation!" Neptune pointed out "Did you 2 walk over here?"
"Well i guess you could say this was just the tortis and the hair" Riku picked up a dink he had in his hand, and gulped twice
"But we only stopped once to get gas" Yang glared at the duo "Who are you people?"
"Sometimes, i don't know my self" Lea said as he took a sip of a glass of water
Junior walked up to the four-some "I don't mean to interupt blond-" Junior took a quck step back at what he said "er... sir, but they said you were coming to talk to me?"
"Right. focus on you you 2 beat us later" Yang tuned twords the club owner "Junior, we would like to talk to you about-"
When you walk away, you don't hear me say
Just than, Riku's scroll startd to ring, slightly killing the mood for yang, and the 2 teans got up, seeing it was from Sora
"Hang on, it's Sora" Riku looked back up at Yang "You and Neptune..."
Riku than looked behind Yang, Yang looking at where he was looking, to see neptune trying to hit on some twins
"Sup" He started out with
"Whatever" The 2 said at the same time, walking away from the blue haired boy
"Or just you... can talk to Junior about what he knows. Lea and i will check what's up"
Riku and Lea left to the dance arena, as Yang had a seat at the bar with Junior going to the back as the bar tender. Riku opened the scroll, and he and Lea saw Sora, Kairi, and Weiss all looking at the scroll
"Hey" Riku waved "How's your mission going"
"Good" Weiss said with a shaky voice "We got what we could, but, um..."
Sora sighed "They know we're from another world"
"WHAT!"
Riku and Lea yelled so loud, almost everyone, with the exception of Yang and Junior, turned at the 2 boys. They both tried to pass it off as an inconvinience to everyone, and talked very angrily at Sora
"Sora, i thought we all agreed to not tell this world that!" Riku reminded the boy
"Well, Ruby was going to figure it out eventually" Kairi argued back
"What would make you think she would figure it out without you telling?!" Lea retorted
"Well, we found out what happens when she faints. She gains visions, which turn out to be memories of my past adventures. It was only a matter of time before she put 2 and 2 together"
"She gains you memories?" Than Riku's eyes widened as he gasped "D-Did she see me in there by any chance?"
"Well, she said she saw us on the islands. I guess she started from when i first go a keyblade" Sora's eyes widened at what Riku ment "But if see did see you in some visions and what happened on our first great adventure, I'm sure we can explain"
"Explain what? Weiss asked "What happened"
"I'd rather not talk about it" Riku looked back. One could see regret in his eyes before looking back at the callers "So what now?"
"Well, we all talked about it, and all 3 of us agree that we sould tell Yang and Blake" Kairi informed the other 2 SKRL members
"But Yen Sid told us not to" Lea pointed out
"But if me and Ruby have this big a secret to keep from those 2" Weiss argued in her Weiss arguing tone "Things may turn out for the worst. I mean, we can handle not telling, say, JNPR or any other teams we're friends with. But no letting our whole team know?'
Both Riku and Lea pondered a miunet, trying to figure out what was the best thing to do, untill they agreed
Riku sighed "Alright. You 4 can at least know"
"Besides" Lea chimed in "I've grown quite attached to you girls, and it's been getting harder not to tell you"
"Than it's decided" Sora nodded "We'll all tell Blake and Yang that we are from another world after we've all completed our mission. Speaking of which, how is you mission going?"
"Well, while we were having this conversation, Yang is currently getting the info out of some guy named Junior"
"Alright than. Good luck, and we'll meet tonight and tell them. See ya"
Sora hung up his scroll, and Riku closed his. He and Lea than went to see how Yang as going, but it looked like she wasn't getting anything out of junior
Junior slamed his glass on the counter "I don't know"
"How can you not know?" Yang asked
"I haven't talked to him. I haven't even seen him sence the night you first came in here. He paid upfront, i lent him my men, and none of them ever came back"
Neptune rushed next to Yang "So where did they go?"
Junior looked at Neptune with a 'really?' expretion "What kind of stupid answer is that? They never came back! Who is this guy?"
Yang pushed Neptune back "Don't worry about him, worry about me if I don't find out what i want!"
"I already told you everything! Torchwick hired my boys and i guess he wasn't happy them! WHICH IS SOMETHING I CAN RELATE TO!"
His men at the door stood with their heads down in shame when he said that, and riku put his hand on a very angry Yang's soulder
"Yang, he clearly isn't in on The white fang enough. Let's just go"
"I'd do what your friend is saying and go bother someone else's club"
Yang put he fist under Junior's jaw, making him flinch a little, and the 4 teens left
"Did we get everything we need?" Lea asked
"We got everything we can. What did Sora want"
"Let's just say that after tonight, we need to talk with you and blake"
"Okay... Hopefully the rest of the team is having better luck"
Blake and Sun had succesfuly sneaked into where the white fang was having a meeting, putting on the grim masks and Blake letting her bow down revieling her cat ears. Many different faunest attened the meeting, rather they be White fang on the left side of the audience or new members on the right, to be greated by who else but Roman Torchwick, wearing his classic white jacket, black bullar hat, and weilding his shot gun cane. Many new faunests were surprised to say the least, and to say the most would be angry. But the members that were already recruted and wearing the white fang drone suit were chearing, and some were even clapping
"Thank you, thank you! Please hold your applause"
"What's a human doing here?" A dear faunus asked
"I'm glad you asked dearie. Now i'll be the first to admit, humans are the WORST! Case in point" Torchwick pointed to himself "So i understand why you would love to see us all locked away, or better yet: killed"
As he spoke, Sun was very confused at his speach
"So is he going somewhere with this, or..."
"But, before the claws come out, I would like to mention the fact that you and I ALL have a comman enemy. The ones in control, the people pulling the dirty rotten humans that run our kingdoms" He started listing them off "Government. Military. Even the schools. They're all to blame for your rotten llife"
As the speach went on, many faunests and white fang members were chearing, which made Blake and Sun worried
"And they're all pests that need to be delt with. Fortunatly, i'm the best exterminator around. No offence to any rodents in the room
Torchwick smaped his fingers, and some white fangs revieled a giant mech suit robot, as the croud roared at the robot
"Uh that's a big robot" Sun stared in awe
"How did he get that?" Blake wondered outloud
"As some of you may have heard, this right here" Torchwick knocked the metalic giant twice "Is Atlas's newest line of deffence against the scary things in our world. And thanks to my employer, we managed to snag a few before they, uh, hit the shelves. And this is only surprise number 1!"
Many faunests were chearing even more at the robot alone, but the news of another surprise for them made the cheer even louder, and this news concerned Blake and Sun even more
"Yeah I bet this was the best I have, but my next little announcment is even better than this hunk of nuts and bolts here. Sadly, I'm not to sure you'll be to happy with it at first. Come on out you old coot"
(Insert Xehanort's theme from kingdom hearts birth by sleep here)
When Torchwick was done, he went over to where a girl with pink and brown hair with a white jacket, giving room for an old man to walk up to the stage. The man in question had light brown skin and was bald, but had a small white bierd. His eyes were a golden yellow and his ears were pointed. He woar a black jacket with a white suit underneath, long black pants, dark gray boots, and white gloves. Despite his age,the man intimidated Blake and upset both wite fang gatherrs and the new faunest even more than when Torchwhick first showed up on stage. One faunest, who was a bull faunest wearing a red shirt with blue jeans and light brown hair, even went up on stage
"Alright, i can try to deal with 1 human, but 2 is where i draw the line. You're inviting more and more humans into the white fang,and mocking our species"
"Well if you don't like this, why don't you try fighting the old man?" Torchwick said in a teasy voice
The old man allowed it and stood still with open arms. The bull faunist, thinking this would be an easy fight, got ready to charge right at him. He started running, and just a mila second away from getting hit by the horns, the old man dodged and stood to the right of the mans side, with his arms behind his back. The faunest was shocked, but tried to punch and roundhouse kick the old man, but the attacks were dodged with ease, and it seamed like the old man wasn't even trying. The bull faunist tried to headbut the old man, but the old man extended his right arm and started forging a weapon that countered and stunned the faunist. While he was stunned and the weapon was still forging, the old man used his free hand to send the faunist flying far away to the end of the wearhouse with a sudden gust of wind. When his weapon was done forhing, Blake and Sun looked back at the old man and Blake was shocked at what he weilded
"A keyblade?!"
"You know that thing?" Sun asked
"Sort of. Sora and his friends can all weild them, but theirs don't look so... Dark"
The 2 looked back at the keyblade in it's intimidating form. All of it was black and silver, with the handle being 2 black bat wings leading up to the start of the stem, which was shaped like an animal with a mane and 2 sets of devil horns. The rest of the stem had a hole in it, making it look like 2 pillars untill they connected once again at the top which showerd and crystal eye. The tip resembled a seith in a way with it extending from the eye. When he held the blade with one hand, and had his other hand behind his back, 11 other man came out of separate dark portals behind him. Each of them wearing a black coat with their hoods down, covering their faces
"Faunest of Remnant" The old man spoke "My name is Xehanort. And i am sure you are wondering why we 12 were allowed into your ranks? I will answer that question, but first i have a question for all of you. Who here knows what my weapon is called"
Xehanort raised his Keyblade up to the skies, as the faunests tried to think of what it could be, outside of and intimidating giant key. Blake and Sun dare not say a word
"Come now, there are no wrong answers"
Most of the faunests had given up at what the weapon was, and Xehanort put his hand down, with his weapon still in his hand
"None of you?" He chuckled "That is understandable. The weapon you see here is called a keyblade. Despite it's apperence, this is an extreamly powerful weapon. And those who learn to master it, and it's powers, such as my self, are about as stong, if not stonger than 10 of these mech suits combined. And those who haven't quite got the hang of it can still fight, i'd say... 2 or 3 of these mech suits with ease"
This statement interested many faunests and shocked our 2 spys
"Wow. I never knew those guys could be so powerful!" Sun wispered
"Neither did I"
"But i'm sure you are all asking a similar question" Xehanort gained the duo's attention once again "'If these keyblades are so powerful, how come I never heard of them?' Well this world, like any other world, has had those who could weild Keyblades, but a new wielder has not shown up sence, I believe, The great war" The old man grinned a devilish grin "Yes you heard me right. I said "world" you see, me and my associates here are from another world"
This statement caused many of the faunests to give faces and gasps of shock, Torchwick to smirk, and Blake to be totaly speachless
"I know this sounds insane to you, but it is all true. You see on our travels to find a 13th vesil, we stummbled onto this world. And after meeting with Roman's employer, we made an agreement to help you all with your cause. The destruction of all humans who pleauge this world! And you'll need my help as well. You see, we arn't the only keyblade weilders that are here in this world"
The fauest, white fang, Sun and Blake were all drawn in even more to his speach, with Sun and Blake very interested to see if these keyblade weilders he Xehanort as speaking of were...
"And they are..."
Xehanort summoned out of his hand some strang light dust and infront of him were 4 explotions of dust, causing Blake's jaw to drop as the dust cleared to revieal holigrams of...
"Sora, Riku, Kairi, and Lea!"
everyone, with the exception of Xehanort, the hooded figures, Sun and Blake all booed and hissed at the 4 images. Blake than remembered something Riku told her after their duel: "Looks like we have another reason to be here" Is that what he ment? When he said here, did he mean this world? Was this Xehanort guy the reason they were here? And if so, what did Riku mean by "another reason" were only a few questions racing inside Blake's head, as Xehanort walked at the end of the 4 holograms
"These 4 hearts of light have gone and attended Beacon acadamy for some training, but have agreed to help some students there overthrow the white fang, and break the world order! Infact 2 of those students their helping are in this very room"
This cause a sligh comotion within the new faunus, and made Blake and Sun worry. He knew? How the hell did this old man know?! Said old man walked twords the group
"I won't say who, but know this: Compared to me, you are nothing but bug to me" He stared right at Blake as he continued "And you won't stop this world from seeing true darkness. Just as you both shall see the darkness take over you" Xehanort walked back teords the end of the holograms "But i am here to help the rest you. To help run the keyblade weilders of light out of Remnant, by force if needed"
Applause and chears filled the wearhouse, but when he said "force" Blake was very concerned
"However" Xehanort extended his hand up "I do not intend to kill them"
Many Faunist sighs of disapointment, while Blake gave a sigh of releafe
"You see i need them alive, if i want to create a... Keyblade war. But do not think this means we will not fight them if we have to. Men and Women- No. BROTHERS AND SISTERS of the white fang, you shold rejoice! You should fell honored! You are gaining help from the orginasation to exterminate all huans of this world! I am Xehanort. And we are orginazation 13! And we are going to stomp out all hearts that are not faunist and send them back into the darkness from whene they came!"
Xehanort snapped his fingers and the holigrams of Sora and the others disapered,and roars and clapps could be heard outside of the wearhouse, while Blake and Sun were left horrified. Xehanort took a step back letting Torchwick take the stand
"See, not every human is so bad. You just have to know the right ones. Now, many of your brothers have already moved down to new operation in the south east. If you'd rather stay within the city, that's fine. But if you're truely ready to fight for what you believe in, than these suits and orginazation 13 will be waiting for you. Any questions?"
Chears just as loud as the last filled the wearhouse. Blake was able to get out of her horrified state and realised that all of their big announcments were done, and she and Sun had no more reason to be here
"We should get out of here"
"Will all new recrutes" A white fang elite stood up "Please come forward?"
(end xehanort's theme)
All of the faunests walked up infront of the stage, except for Blake and Sun, while Torchwick was talking with Xehanort about the night
"'Brothers and sisters'" Roman quoted the old man "Pushing it a little arn't you?"
"When you're someone like me, apperances are a top priority"
"Blah blah blah. So where are those intrudors you mentioned?"
"I think you may know these 2, Roman" Xehanort pointed to the group of new faunus
Torchwick saw that 2 wern't moving from the group. The miunet he saw the long black hair and yellow monkey tail, he growled
"That much is for certain"
Torchwick started to walk tword the spies. When Torchwick was gone, one of the hooded figures walked up to Xehanort
"I still don't see why we don't sink all of their hearts into darkness right now. There is much potential, and a certain spy has growing darkness inside of her"
"In time, Ansem" Xehanort assured the orginazation member "But we have to wait untill all our goals in this world are met. Once they are done, you can go crazy"
Torchwick, meanwhile, was walking twords Blake and a very scared Sun
"He sees us"
Blake looked around to see a cable box and came up with an idea
"He can't see in the dark"
She pulled out one of her guns and emidiantly shot the cable box. The room went dark
