"No!" Ever screamed, watching as Hero fell at the hand of the new Nobody. The Keyblade Master glared at it. "Who are you?" She demanded, venom dripping from her words.

"Exer," the Nobody smirked. "I'm your Nobody."

"How?" Ever didn't give herself to the Darkness. A man with dark hair came up behind Exer.

"Drake, no!" Ever took a few step forwards but stopped in surprise when Exer turned and kissed Drake.

"He took your heart, while you where too stupid in 'love' for you to notice. You may still have remained, but I was created from you." The nobody smirked.

Ever's hand flew to where her heart once was. There was still a heartbeat, faint but there. She still have her heart, but a piece was taken from it. She wasn't whole anymore. There was that piece missing.

How did she not notice? How could she had been so stupid?

"Oh my god," Temperance squealed the next day when Ever told her what happened last night. "You like Cloud?" That was the most excited I seen her since I came back from the Darkness.

"That would be impossible." Ever said, staring at the box. "Exer has the piece of me, the part that's capable of having any romantic feeling." Temperance gave Ever a "Don't you even dare say that" look. "It's true, Tempe! There's tons of guys that I could have fell for, and I didn't."

"Maybe they weren't the right guy." Temperance replied. "And Cloud is."

"Tempe, I'm twenty years older then him, I'm to old for him. I was working for his parents before he was even born. I was helping raising him for the first, what, four years of his life?"

"You look like you're his age, so there's won't be many social objections, your know more about him then any girl could know, and I'm sure you have a few baby pictures of him."

"You know what, Tempe?" Ever asked as she finished her breakfast. "Go jump off a cliff."

Temperance smiled. "I love you too, sis."

"I'm going to practice. See if I can summon Heart Breaker again, then I'll go see Sora off." Ever stood up and left.

She never told her sister that she could summon Heart Breaker. Her time as the Keyblade Master has passed. It was Soar's turn now. But that didn't mean she couldn't be a Bearer. It would actually be nice to be just a Bearer. But, Heart Breaker was a Master Blade and everybody knew it. And she didn't want to steal Sora's thunder. Like I said, Ever's time has passed.

She bumped into Rufus on her search for a practice spot, but she ignored him. Stupid womanizer… The ex-Master found a deserted little spot, enough room to practice, and she summoned her blade. Heart Breaker shone in the sunlight, the red metal glinting.

Something fell from the sky, whomping her on the head. It was a silver heart, with a running wolf etched into it. It was a… Keychain?

Ever took the Heart Breaker Keychain off and put the new chain on. The Keyblade morphed from the red-handled Keyblade with three prongs in the shape of hearts into a brand new Keyblade. The handle and steam where silver and along the handle there where running wolves. The head of the Keyblade was gold and the head of a wolf was etched, the eyes a gleaming silver that shone out brightly from the gold.

A new Blade… She wouldn't be stealing Sora's thunder now… It was a new blade. Nobody knew if it was a Master Blade…

Ever dismissed the blade and took off running towards Temperance's home.

"Tempe!" She yelped as she ran in though the kitchen.

"In the living room, Ever." She called back. Ever walking into Temperance's living room and received a little shock. There, sitting in the living room, was an obviously snobby, and rich, bottle-blonde woman who had one-to-many face lifts. And an obvious boob-job. She stared down her nose at Ever.

"Her!" The woman said in a high pitch, whiny voice. "She's to whore who claims my husband is the father of her bastard child, when he would never do that to me. And then she starts flirting with my poor son!"

"Temperance, what is this about?"

"Poor Leon!" The woman cried. "To have his wife sleeping around on him!" Temperance gave Ever an odd look.

"Oh!" Ever turned to her sister. "That stupid secretary was drooling all over the mention of Leon, our last name in fact, so I told her I was his wife." She turned to Mrs. Shinra. "And by the way, from all the gossip I heard on the walk back, your husband is sleeping with three other woman, half you age. You might want to add more plastic to your body… if that's possible… And the only time I slept with your husband was over twenty years ago."

"You would have been four then." Mrs. Shinra replied, giving her a sneer.

"Nope, I just been trapped in a damn glowing blue ball that kept me from aging." Ever replied cheerfully, probably not convincing Mrs. Shinra. "And I can kick you ass if you come around here again."

Temperance gave Ever a look. "Mrs. Shinra, I'm afraid there have been some misunderstanding."

"A misunderstanding that had been cleared." Ever said. "Your husband is a jerk, he's cheating on you, the last time I been with your husband was over twenty years ago, and it only happened because I was drunk, mind you."

Temperance pursed her lips. "Mrs. Shinra, as I said, this is just a misunderstanding. I will talk to my sister." Temperance escorted Mrs. Shinra out of the house. When she returned, she had a frown on her face. "Now, Ever what was so-" She broke off as Ever summoned her new blade. The younger, but physically older, woman gasped. Her fingers ghosted over the smooth metal.

"I don't think it's a Master Blade, but still. It's a Blade. I wanna go with Sora." Temperance gave Ever a pained look. "Tempe, adventure is in my blood. It's a curse we Masters are born with. We live for adventure, and to help others. We are born to fight Darkness. If we are kept from adventure more then a few months at a time, we go insane. I been kept from adventure for twenty-something years!"

"You where mad before," Temperance commented. Her sister pouted. "Fine, go. Go on your grand adventure with Sora and his friends. Maybe then you'll find your peace. We all know it isn't in a world like this. Not anymore."

"My place isn't here anymore, Tempe. Although, I have to admit, there's a lot of cute guys here. I know you want me to stay, to get to know my family a bit more. I'll make a deal with you. If Sora left before we get to the ship, I'll stay. I won't go on another ship to try to find him. If he's still of Radiant Garden land by the time we get there, then I get to go."

Temperance pursed her lips. "Deal." Ever ran out of the room, Temperance following behind, cursing. Ever ran down the streets, trying to find the Gummi-ship hanger. It took her awhile, but she finally found it. To her dismay, the ship was already rising.

"Guess your staying here." Temperance huffed, smirking. Ever pouted as she was lead away from the hanger by her sister. At lease she had her new Keyblade.

You guys really didn't think I would let her go, now did you?
