In the catacombs

The Catacombs lie under the city of nirvana and are the main base of the keybearers. From here they can monitor worlds for heartless but more importantly, it is where the leaders of the three groups of keybearers Chasers, Guardians, and Watchers reside. It is here in the council room that shijima kneeled in front of these three leaders.

"Are you certain of this shijima?" asked the blue cloaked figure in a female voice. All official keybearers wear cloaks on missions to hide their identity's but the leaders wear different color cloaks with symbols on them. Blue where the watchers, yellow guardians, and red chasers.

"Yes." Shijima replied as he continued to kneel "There skills have greatly improved over the last year. I believe they are finally ready."

"Perhaps." said the yellow cloaked one his voice male "But we should not be to hasty about this." he said resting his hand on his chin "This is a huge responsibility we are giving them."

"If I may say one thing."

"You may." said the red cloaked one in a masculine voice

"Kyo, Yumi, And Xehanort have mastered techniques in there few years of training that normally take decades to even be able to attempt." he said pausing "there good. There even faster learners then…than me." he said sighing "I can't believe I had to admit that."

"Very well." said the red cloaked one "We shall allow them to proceed." he finished signaling him to raise.

"Thank you council." he said bowing "you won't be disappointed."

Meanwhile at the training ground

"Hey xehanort. What'cha doing?" yumi asked as xehanort looked up from his laptop. Yumi had grown quite a bit over the 5 years of training. She had grown her hair out to her mid back and now wore a pair of blue jeans with a dark top and jacket.

"Yeah, Why aren't you training like the rest of us." kyo asked as he jumped down from a tree. Kyo had barely changed at all he still had the same spikey hair and skater pants but now he a black shirt under his now wrist length jacket.

"I'm just working on this program I made a while back." xehanort said as he looked back at the screen. Xehanort had grown his hair out long so that it was at his waist and his yellow eyes had grown darker. He wore a black coat with a white shirt, black jeans and shoes. "Besides, you're the one who needs the most training." he retorted to kyo who was fuming.

"What was that?!!"

"Well it's true." he said as he keep typing "Yumi is skilled in physical attacks and some spells, I'm can use darkness based attacks because of my family powers, but you…you're the most average person on this team." he finished as kyo looked like he was about to kill him.

"Calm down kyo, xehanort just trying to get on your nerves." yumi said trying to calm kyo down "Besides. He only says stuff like that cause he likes you." she said smiling as both kyo and xehanort blushed bright red.

Suddenly an alarm started sounding from xehanort's computer. "Huh?" they all said as the computer screen started glowing red and warning signs popped up from nowhere

"You have entered a restricted area without proper clearance." said the computer in a machine like voice

"X-xehanort w-what did you do?" kyo questioned fearfully as he backed away.

"This program will now delete all data on pc and-"

"Shit!!" said xehanort as he jumped into action typing furiously to save his computer. A few seconds passed by as he typed code after code suddenly the alarms stopped and the screen turned back to it's blue screensaver. Sighing he slouched down and stared up into the sky.

"Umm…what just happened?" kyo asked as xehanort turned to face them.

"My program failed." he said showing them the screen "It's supposed to be able to bypass security systems so that I can access restricted government files but…" he said turning to his computer "…as you can see it didn't even come close."

"Why would you want to access government files anyway…?" yumi asked as she looked at the screen "…that's so stupid plus what if they trace your program back to your laptop."

"They did." he said typing again "last time I tried this my whole computer exploded. That's why bought a laptop in the first place." typing a little faster he suddenly stopped and looked at tem dead serious.

"I did it because I want to know more about shijima and more importantly…" he said looking away "…I want to know more about the chasers and this prophecy everyone keeps talking about."

"What do you mean?"

"You know what I mean." he said "Ever since we started training we haven't learned anythingabout him except that he likes tea's, his favorite food is apples, and that he's really good at changing the subject." he said angrily.

"Let me see that for a moment." yumi said as she took the laptop and started typing.

"I mean last time I asked about he completely ignored me. Like I wasn't even there." sighing he dropped his shoulders and sat down. "Guess I should give up then huh?

"Well I…"

"There all done." yumi said cheerfully as she turned the screen to show them the downloading Icon.

"y-yumi h-how did you." xehanort stuttered as he stared dumbfounded at the screen.

"My dad's Ansem remember." she said smiling "He's the one who built the security system for this world. So what made you think I wouldn't have an access code for the computer system." she said in a mater of fact tone.

"Well I…Um…that is…Err never mind." he said embarrassed as yumi gave him his laptop back. "I never knew yumi was that smart. Even with the access code she still knew how to download the file directly to my computer without detection. Even I don't know how to do that." he thought as he stared at her. Still admiring her in his head

"Are you okay." she asked a little creped out at how he was looking at her

"What. Oh yeah I'm fine." he said blushing a little. "Looks like it'll take an hour or so to download."

"What should take an hour or so to download?"

Freezing they all turned around to see Shijima standing right behind them.

"Umm…it's nothing important." yumi said doing her best to sound truthful

"y-yeah it's just a program I'm downloading from the internet that's all." he said as he laughed nervously.

"yup just a program and nothing else." kyo said nervously as shijima continued to look at them.

"Alright." he said tuning around and started walking away. "But don't be so defensive. It's really suspicious now follow me there's something I need to show you." and at that they all followed as he walked deeper and deeper into the forest around the training grounds.

"I've never been here before." kyo thought curiously as he looked around "wonder what's back here?" he was suddenly jerked out of this thoughts as they stopped in front of a huge rock.

"Wow a rock…that's really amazing." yumi said sarcastically as shijima had an anime vein

"Ha ha…very funny." shijima said as he summoned his sword Kageyaiba and pointed it at the stone. Instantly his sword shot out a beam of light that hit the rock creating a door in it. For a second it looked like his sword transformed but as soon as it started the light faded and his sword was back to it's regular shape. Sheathing it he walked to the door and opened it revealing a stairwell.

"Come on…" Shijima said walking in as his three students hesitantly followed "…Your about to see something few ever see in there life's."

"Umm…what are we going to see here exactly." yumi asked nervously.

"You'll see." he said as they continued down the dark corridor soon they reached a set of large white doors that stood at the end of the hallway.

"oh man. You could cut this anticipation with a knife." Shijima thought as he pushed open the doors. "I just hope there ready for this" and with that he pushed open the doors and light instantly flooded the dark hallway. When it cleared they saw one of the most breath taking spectacles they'd ever seen.

"Welcome…" shijima said walking into the startling dome like structure. Inside was a huge city that looked a cross between a castle and a super advanced city. "…to the catacombs." he said proudly as kyo, yumi, and xehanort stared in awe.

"I know. Isn't it great." he said laughingly as the three only followed still to stunned to speak "I felt the same way to when I first saw this place."

"Err…why are we here again?" kyo asked snapping out of his daze

"Because we need to fit you for your new uniforms." that snapped all of them out of it

"Wait uniforms?" xehanort asked as they walked deeper into the catacombs

"If you're worried about the whole having-to wear them all the time thing don't worry. You only have to wear them on missions."

"That's not what I-Hold on…" yumi asked finally realizing something "…Uniforms, Missions, dose that mean-"

"Yup took a few strings but I pulled it off." Shijima said proudly "From this day forward your all officially Chasers."

"YEAHHHH!!!!" Kyo screamed triumphantly "Finally were real chasers. No more training, No more fake missions, We finally real-"

"KNOCK IT OFFFF!!!!!" shijima yelled knocking kyo all the way to the floor. "It's not that big a deal!!!" he said calming down "Err…Someone help him up."

After helping him up they made there way into one of the buildings which was full of different fabrics.

"What is this place?"

"At long last a female customer." said a high pitch voice from out of no where "Welcome, Welcome."

"w what the- " yumi stuttered as all three of the new chasers looked around

"Relax." shijima said calmly "that's just jaquess the-"

"It's pronounced Jacques." said the disembodied voice as a mist started to form in front of them. Soon it took the shape of a thin man dressed in elegant looking clothes. "Get it right half-breed." it said almost arrogantly

"WHAT DID YOU JUST CALL ME!!!" Shijima yelled as he tried to punch the man only to have him turn into mist and reform.

"Your stupid dragon fighting style wont work." he said reforming and flipping some of his long blonde hair "I'm dead remember."

"What is that thing!?" yumi asked as they backed up.

"He's a specter." shijima explained "A very annoying specter."

"Ahem…I'm right here." the specter said as he floated down to meet them "I'm the head tailor for all the keybearer's." he said proudly "now your here to get fitted right. Well I'll get you your cloaks and after I have something special for you shijima…" he said turning around and puling out a measuring tape "…even though you did try to hit me just now."

"Just get them there uniforms." shijima said impatiently

In the blink of an eye the ghost was all over them getting measurement after measurement in every corner of there body. Within the next few seconds he had stitched, sewed, and reinforced the three cloaks. Trying them on they found that they fit perfectly to every curve and groove of there bodies.

"That was amazing." yumi said as she examined herself.

"Wow…these clothes fit perfectly." xehanort complemented

"How did you make these so quickly?" kyo asked as he started to play with one of the metal hood strings.

"Oh it's nothing really." Jacques said flatteringly "just a little thing I picked up after dieing."

"Well I guess well be going." shijima said as he started walking away

"Wait what about that thing Jacques was talking about." yumi pointed out as shijima stopped dead in his tracks and almost looked like he twitched.

"I almost forgot." Jacques said suddenly remembering "I'll get it and you just wait right there." he said floating through a wall.

"Oh joy." shijima said sarcastically as he waited

"You don't like him much do you."

"Of course not…" shijima said as he folded his arms on his chest "he's an annoying prick plus-…never mind." he said cutting himself off

"C'mon tell us." kyo begged as he latched onto him "Please."

"You've got to be kidding me!!!" they both thought as they face faulted

"If I tell you do you promise to let go." he said getting tired of trying to pry his student off of him who vigorously shock hi head up and down..

"Alright It's because he…well he…(sighs) He uses me as his model for his fashions." he said blushing deep red as everyone in the room froze. For a few seconds it was completely silent then they burst out laughing.

"It's not funny and it's not by chose." he said defensively "he's the only person who can actually make my clothes so it's not my fault that he tricks me into doing it."

"Well of course." said Jacques floating through the wall back into the room "It's rare to find someone with your anatomy. Every part of your body is almost perfectly proportion, so you can understand why I'd want to have someone with such a rare body type as my model." he said smiling as shijima looked like a cross between angry and embarrassed

"Yes but you're tactics of getting me to do it are underhanded and ruthless." shijima defended

"How so?" asked seaport curiously "I don't see how you could be tricked into modeling."

" Last time he said that he had "Accidentally" forgot which clothes were the ones he had mended for me and made me try on all the outfits to try and jog his memory."

"Well maybe he really did lose them." said yumi

"they were on his desk in the other room." he retorted answering her questions

"Alright maybe I do go a little overboard sometimes but this time is strictly business." he said "and that's why I've made you…THIS." he said loudly as he showed them the item he had slaved all night to make.

"It's a jacket." he said as he looked at the light black jacket "I admit I like the color but what's so special about it."

"Well genius that jacket is the most powerful body armor ever made." he said matter-o-factly "Not only will this jacket stop and even repel bullets but it can also reduce the damage of elemental attacks and slightly disrupt energy based attacks."

"Energy based?"

"Yes energy based you know Chi, spiritual pressure, Auras, The force, Chakra-"

"Ah…Why didn't you say chakra? That I know." shijima said understandingly as he looked it over "Why slightly."

"Because the energy comes from inside the body and the material in the jacket can't disrupt the energy in the body."

"So basically it can only stop a little of the energy and not the bulk." he said as he took off his old jacket. "I think I see you're purpose for this."

"And that is?"

"You want to combine this with something else don't you."

"Yup and here it is." Jacques said pulling out a black long sleeved shirt.

"So what does that do?"

"It takes the bulk out of energy attacks." Jacques said smiling "It wasn't easy dying those materia charged clothes black but I managed. After all you do pull the clad-in-black look off nicely."

"So that's how you did it" said xehanort nodding "Charging the fibers with a energy absorbing materia. Impressive."

"Fit's pretty well." shijima said as he looked at himself in a mirror near by "Breathes well to."

"I knew you'd like it. Now try on this other stuff and you can keep it." said Jacques as he pulled a whole armful of outfits from no where.

"I should have know there'd be a catch!!!" he yelled surprised that he hadn't seen the clothes behind Jacques "There's always a catch. Why does there always need to be a-"

He was suddenly cut off by his cell phone ringing "What's happened?" answered shijima in a stern voice "What happened!? When did….And where just getting it now!!! Why the hell didn't the….You mean they cut it off….But sir. Isn't it a little early for them to….Alright I understand. We're on are way." he finished hanging up and cursing all the while. Turning around he faced his now anticipating students.

"Well… It looks like you get to go on your first mission." he said as kyo suddenly smiled brightly "And boy is it on hell of a mission."

"YEAH!!!" yelled Kyo in overwhelming joy "We get to go on are first mission." he said running out of the building and out into the catacombs.

"Wait. You don't even know where to go yet." yelled Shijima as he chased after his over enthusiastic student "Or even what the mission is."

"What is the mission?" asked Xehanort

"A search and rescue…" said shijima glaring at seemingly nothing "…I just hope we get there in time."
