A/N: In which Sora gets powers that will probably 1) never be used again and 2) he probably couldn't have. However, I do have a reason for it. I'll explain at the end.
Sora fell back with a sigh, panting heavily as he sat on the ground. Kairi and Riku quickly sank down either side of him, all of them looking tired. Yen Sid considered them, then nodded. "That will do. You've done admirably for your first time," he said, waving a hand and returning them to the room. Turning, he walked back to his desk, sitting behind it. "You will find spare beds down that hallway and to your left. Riku, Kairi, if I may have a word with you each before you head off?" They nodded, and Sora gave a wave as he wandered down the hallway.
Yen Sid motioned to Riku, and he followed him over to a different room, leaving Kairi in the care of the fairies for a minute. "What's wrong?" asked Riku as he faced the older man.
Yen Sid stroked his beard. "Would you summon your Keyblade, please?" Riku nodded, and it quickly appeared. Yen Sid eyed it, then sighed. "As I thought...Young one, you have much darkness within your heart. As such, darkness is at your command; at the minute, it remains locked deep within you, but should you succumb to the desire for power, it will surge up. I would implore you to fight it, but the darkness is nigh impossible to resist, especially if you desire it for a just cause. Therefore, I ask only this; do not give in to it. Do not use it for evil, or allow it to taint your mind. Let the light of your friends keep you on the path of light, and you shall achieve great things."
Riku glanced down at the Keyblade, then frowned. "Do I have a Keyblade of Darkness?" he asked, looking up again.
"I'm afraid so. As I said, it is rare for one to weild one, but that is not necessarily a good thing. It is hard to control your inner darkness, but if you have the strength, then you can do much good with your power."
Riku considered this, then nodded. "Mister Yen Sid sir, I know you said not to desire power or whatever, but I do want the strength to protect my friends. And I know they won't let me get dragged down by it. So, one day I may end up embracing it, but that will only be because I know they can get me back."
Yen Sid inclined his head. "I admire your faith in your friends. Always stick by those words, and you will do well. Now, you must be tired. Go rest, and I wish you sweet dreams," he said, opening the door. Riku wandered out, waving to Kairi as he walked down the corridor, and she walked over to Yen Sid. He didn't bother heading back into the room, instead kneeling before her.
"What did you need to talk about?" she asked, tilting her head.
"You are likely not yet aware of this fact, but as it stands, you seem to be a Princess of Heart."
Kairi looked confused. "What's that?"
"A female who has the purest light of them all. Their hearts cannot be tainted by darkness, to the point that they drive it off slightly. Your light is exceptionally pure. It is also rare for a Princess of Heart to be a Keyblade Weilder, but I believe you will achieve greatness because of it." He stood up again. "I only ask that you try to stop your friends from leaving the path of light. There will be hardships, but you all show great will, and if you help each other I believe you will be able to succeed."
Kairi blinked, then smiled. "Well, I'm never going to leave them anyway, so of course I'll help them," she said brightly.
Yen Sid chuckled. "Very well. My fears are settled. Unless you have anything else you wish to talk about, you may go rest."
"I think I'm fine, thank you. See you tomorrow, Mister Yen Sid!" she said happily before skipping after Riku and Sora. Yen Sid watched her go, then stroked his beard again.
"A Keyblade of Light, Darkness, and Heart, hmmm? The end of this long fight is nearing," he murmured.
He blinked his eyes open, sitting up with a yawn. Glancing around, he frowned, confused. Pushing himself up, he looked around, worry entering. "Riku? Kairi?" he called, biting his lip as no one replied. Had they gotten separated too? How? They'd all been sleeping in the same room, so how could they have gotten split up again?
"Sora?" He blinked as he recognised the voice before turning as someone cannoned into him, hugging him tightly. He smiled before hugging Ven back, happy to be with him again. Eventually he pulled back, the two of them sitting on the floor facing each other.
"Where are we?" asked Sora, glancing around.
Ven shrugged. "I'm not sure. I just went sleep, then found myself here. I heard you shouting, so I just followed your voice." He looked Sora over. "How are you guys, anyway? I know you ended up in Radiant Garden, at least..."
"We're fine. We can all use the Keyblade too! We tried going home, but it wouldn't let us, and then we met Mickey who said that it was because our world was taken over by darkness, then he took us to Mister Yen Sid who's been teaching us!"
Ven blinked, then smiled, ruffling his hair. "Sounds like you've been busy," he agreed.
"What about you, Ven?" asked Sora.
"I haven't done much. I ended up at the Land of Departure, where I met this guy who looks like an older you called Vanitas. We've just been travelling to a couple of worlds, but that's all so far."
Sora considered, then something occured to him. "Oh, hey! What's your Keyblade called?"
"Huh?"
"All the Keyblade's have names! Mine's Kingdom Key, Kairi's is Destiny's Embrace, and Riku's is Soul Eater."
"Oh...I don't know. I'm not sure how I'd find out, actually."
"Can I see?" Ven summoned it, passing it over to Sora. He took it, looking it over, then sighed. "I thought maybe I could tell, but I don't know...Maybe I can show Mister Yen Sid?"
"But you'd have to summon it," Ven pointed out, confused.
"I guess..." Sora mumbled, looking downcast. Suddenly an idea came to him, and he looked at Ven. "Hey, what were you thinking when you summoned it the first time?"
"Uhh...I wanted to protect you, I guess?"
"Okay. Make it disappear a sec."
Ven took it back, it vanishing, and Sora closed his eyes. He lifted his hand, focusing, trying to recreate the situation and feelings Ven might have been having at the time.
'I want to protect Sora!'
He opened his eyes, and suddenly Ven's Keyblade appeared. Ven blinked, looking surprised.
"Wow. How did you do that?"
"I dunno. I just figured, if I was thinking like you, maybe I could get your Keyblade to come to me."
"That's pretty useful. Do you think it has something to do with our hearts being linked?"
"Probably. Maybe everyone can do it though; Mister Yen Sid said something about psychonizing wavelengths with the Keyblade."
"Psycho...You mean synchronizing?"
"Yeah, that." Ven shook his head, then stretched. "So, you sure you're okay?"
"I'm sure. I'll see you soon, right?"
"'Course. As soon as I figure out how to get to you, I'll join you guys. Maybe I can train with you too," he grinned.
Sora nodded, smiling happily, before leaping at Ven and giving him a hug. "I can't wait! Mister Yen Sid's really nice, so I'm sure you'll really like him," he said happily.
"I'm sure I will," agreed Ven, hugging him back.
Sora yawned as he woke up, gazing blearily at the ceiling a minute before remembering what he wanted to do. He stood up, rubbing his eyes as he padded down the hallway back to the main chamber where Yen Sid was already sitting at his desk, looking through a few documents. He looked up as Sora entered. "Ah, good morning. You are up much earlier than I anticipated."
"Yeah, I wanted to ask you a question. Ven wants to know what his Keyblade is called," Sora mumbled, yawning.
Yen Sid frowned. "Well, without seeing it, I'm afraid I cannot..."
"It's this one," Sora said, absently lifting his hand and suddenly summoning Ven's Keyblade. Yen Sid stilled, staring at it. That was definitely not Sora's own, and he hadn't used a different Keychain.
He'd summoned someone else's Keyblade.
He forced himself to remain calm, not wanting to alarm the young boy. Instead, he took it, looking it over. It was fully real as well, not some sort of projection he may have created. How, though? Surely his mastery over the Keyblade wasn't that good? He was only self-taught so far... Had he really underestimated the boy so much, so focused on his friends who had such unique attributes? But even then, this wasn't something that he could have overlooked before. The boy had taught himself how to do it overnight - literally.
"Wayward Wind," he said, handing it back. Sora took it happily, allowing it to disappear.
"Thanks," he said, wandering back to the bedroom either to wake the others or sleep again.
As he left the room, Yen Sid sat back, fingers steepled. A Keyblade of Light, Darkness, and Heart, with one Weilder being able to summon other people's Keyblades...Could the other two do it as well? Maybe there was a factor he was overlooking. There were too many variables he had to consider. This would take some looking into before he could say for sure.
A/N: So, Sora is able to summon Ven's Keyblade. Though they assume it's by their link, this is partially incorrect; because Sora's heart is linked to so many others, and his light is so strong, he is able to summon other Keyblades that are weilded by agents of light. And obviously, non-agents of light can't use Keyblades, so he can basically summon anyones.
Then again, I may make it that he can only summon Keyblades attributed to light, so not Riku's or Kairi's. Or I can have them able to summon each others, or not need to because of such deep bonds, or...well, whatever. Tell me your ideas! I can probably put them into the second part.
Also, please note that the doc thing is still useless, and even more so because it doesn't have line breakers, bold or italics. My only theory with it was also shot down when it still saved it as a huge paragraph. So, because my patience fizzles out pretty quick, I'm probably just going to put up two a week/day (in my docs, not posting) until I've got them all or until the doc thing is fixed.
Review?
