The Legend of the Keyblade

Chapter Twenty-Eight: Twilight Town

The Cornerstone of Light

King Mickey was assumed to be dead. Only the foolish believed that and as ifs the way of the worlds there are quite a few fools. One hundred years have past without time moving at all, except in Twilight Town. DiZ said that there was a reason for this because he needed certain people to come to existence while Sora was away. King Mickey wasn't surprised to learn that DiZ had survived after the encounter they all had with the Organization but he was surprised that he had hid away the three people who could stop the restored Organization.

"Old friend I understand that this is hard to except." DiZ had told him earlier when he had finally showed him where the original Keybladers were.

"Soon they will awake." DiZ says quietly a little ways away from him.

"What about the other three?" Mickey asked, thinking about the three teenagers who had unknowingly suffered for the original Keybladers.

"They were never meant to face off with the Organization." DiZ replied.

"How long do you think we have until they come?"

"They are determined to have answers; they will find me soon I should think. Only they can awake them." DiZ replies.

"I hope you're right."

Radiant Garden

"I didn't think you would be leaving so soon again." Merlin told them as they made their way towards the Gummy Ship.

"We have to; there are too many unanswered questions." Jayson replied as he took the mystical spear from Merlin.

"Are you sure you guys are safe with that thing?" Aerith asks with concern.

"Yeah, it should be a useful weapon against the Organization, due to the fact that they're not human." Jayson replies.

"They're not computer programs either." Leon points out.

"Eh technicalities." Eden replies with a smile. They smile once more before stepping onto the ship again.

"I didn't think we would be going home so soon." Ivory murmured as they made their way to the front of the ship.

"I know but something's there and I think it might be important." Jayson replies.

The World That Never Was

"Going to Twilight Town eh?" Axel mumbles under his breath.

"Yes, that was what we heard last." Saix says to Xemnas.

"Sir, perhaps Demyx and I can handle this?" Axel asks.

"Go." Xemnas replies with a dismissive gesture. Axel smiles and he and Demyx step into a portal.

Twilight Town

Eden let out a loud sigh as they stepped out onto the familiar areas of their hometown. Ivory smiles at Eden, mostly likely sharing the same thoughts as Eden, it was good be back, even if it was only for a little while.

"Race you!" Eden yells and sprints off.

"Ah hell no!" Jayson yells and takes off behind her, Ivory laughing and running behind the both of them. Eden looks back at Jayson who is quickly closing the distance between them and runs into someone. Jayson skids to a halt next to Eden who had fallen on the ground with the person she had run into on impact.

"Ow." She groaned on the ground before shooting a dirty look to the boy who she knocked over.

"You should watch where you're going." He snapped angrily at her. Jayson grabbed Eden's hand and helped off the ground, at this point in time Ivory had caught up to the rest of the gang.

"Who's he?" Ivory asks, looking at the tough thug looking boy in front of them.

"I should be asking you that! I've never seen you around here before." The boy snapped back him.

"That's funny, since we've lived here our whole lives and we've never seen your ugly mug anywhere." Eden snaps back.

"Seifer want us to take of these punks." The boy behind the other boy, Seifer, asks.

"No, I could take of them myself." Seifer replies.

"That is highly doubtful." Jayson replies with a smirk. Seifer's cold gaze turns to him and they immediately go into a glaring contest, in the end Seifer looks away when he notices another group of kids coming along.

"What are you doing here?" Seifer as snidely.

"Back off Seifer." The blonde of the other group retorts.

"I could say the same to you Hayner." Seifer replies. Jayson snorts with disgust.

"I don't have time for this, go play your childish games with someone who cares." Jayson says as he starts to move to the Tram Station.

"Where the hell do you think your going?" Seifer snaps.

"I really not tell you, I mean you like one of those kind of people who stalk innocent people." Eden replies with a smirk. Seifer growls but lets them pass.

"I'll get them when they come back."

"Whatever."

Axel and Demyx

"Oh Oh! There they are!" Demyx yells excitedly, pointing at the three keybladers.

"I see them." Axel replies with annoyance, Demyx shrugs and poofs next to them, Axel sighs and does the same.

"I see you decided to join us again." Jayson comments.

"Did you really think we would leave you kids alone?" Axel asks.

"No but one can hope." Jayson replies with a smirk.

"So where are we going?" Demyx asks.

"No clue." Jayson replies with a shrug.

"What?"

"I'm a little thrown, everyone here, I've never seen them before, its like a completely different world." Jayson says with a shrug.

"I don't know, it looks the same from the last time I was here, but a little surprising that everyone here hasn't died, considering its been about one hundred years." Axel comments. Jayson stops and looks at Axel for a long moment.

"Of course, why not! Of course we're in the Twilight Town of the past, that makes perfect sense." Jayson says sarcastically.

"So what are we going to do?" Ivory asks.

"Take a look around." Jayson replies with a world weary shrug.

The Keybladers

"We have been everywhere in this damn city except for that old abandoned mansion." Axel groans as they trudge along the streets of Twilight Town.

"That's our next and last stop." Jayson says.

"Really?" Demyx asks hopefully.

"Yeah, I think what we've been looking for is there." Jayson replies.
