(The scene opens up to what appears to be a clearing in the middle of the woods at night. Pearl, Bobo and Brain Guy have set up a campsite next to the Widowmaker. Jacob and Jordan are roasting marshmallows over the campfire—though without any enthusiasm. Jordan's marshmallow is melting off the stick, but he's looking everywhere but towards the stick.)

Pearl: (Roasting a pig over the fire on her stick) Ah, the great outdoors!

Bobo: (Roasting an entire bison on his marshmallow stick) It's so nice to go camping again!

Brain Guy (Roasting a small carrot on his stick) Yes, quite a bountiful harvest.

Pearl: (Looks at Jordan and Jacob) Hey, what's with those faces? Stop being a couple of sticks in the mud!

Jordan and Jacob: (Mumble)

Bobo: Huh?

Jordan and Jacob: (Mumble)

Brain Guy: Oh, for mercy's sake you two, speak up!

Jordan and Jacob: (slightly louder mumble)

Bobo: I'm getting the clown hammer!

Jordan: (forced ) LET'S GET THE CHAPTER STARTED, SHALL WE?

*Bonus Request Chapter*

The Eloquent Compromiser

Rain fell eternally upon the remains of that accursed, black city. The great white tower that once remained suspended in the sky was no longer present, but it was still the same to Kavma. No light, no hope…not even a shred of actual life—apart from him—remained there.

The Memory's Skyscraper, on the other hand, remained. It was Kavma's creation, really—it was capable of showing the memories of all those within the vincinity upon the monitor screens at it's summit. However, ever since the day that Sora had come to that empty world, it had stopped functioning. This hardly surprised Kavma—ever since he had left, there had been nothing to provide any power to the device, leading to it running out of energy on its own.

For a moment he considered actually going inside, but thought better of it. Besides, he had a guest.

"So, this is what remains of the World That Never Was in this universe?" asked his 'guest'.

Kavma did not bother to turn around. "Unlike in your world, the Organization of this realm did not have the luck to have someone like you running things behind the curtain… Nexis." He turned around to face him. "But I suppose it would not matter either way, as Sora will have enough on his plate to begin with. You remember Xemnas?"

A snort. "Obviously."
"Well, he's not dead yet. His 'Somebody'—Xehanort—now that his Heartless and Nobody have been destroyed in that order, it is only a matter of time before he makes one final comeback."
"How so?"
Kavma smirked. "You should know by now that I don't spoil things so easily for you, my friend. Either way…Sora is not, and most likely will not ever be, my concern."
"But what of Roxas?" Nexis raised an eyebrow. "You were obviously attached to the boy, and even more so with Xion. Are you saying that their wellfare is no longer your concern?"

Kavma sighed. "Well, that's different. They are out of my hands now."
"Is that really your excuse?" Nexis sounded skeptical. "You were so concerned with those children, and now you say you don't care anymore?"

Okay, now imaging the closest close up possible without seeing individual cells, then multiply that by an Epic Win.

The end result was enough to send Nexis flying backward into the middle of the plaza. Kavma was actually gritting his teeth. "Did I ever say that, Nexis?"

Nexis had to admit—this was the first time he had ever seen Kavma angry. "No, but—"

"Those children," Kavma began, walking down the steps, "have grown into great heroes. Physically, they are gone, but they still live on—and they will continue to do so—in Sora. That is why I have chosen to no longer interfere—Sora is strong enough to control things of his own volition. Besides, I have never had anything to do with Sora myself, and that will not change."

Nexis got up, grumbling. "Are you afraid of the kid, or something?"
Kavma scoffed. "Afraid? For creation's sake, of course not! He reminds me too much of someone I know, that's all. Similar personality…but that is none of your concern, Nexis."

It was then that Nexis decided to tempt fate for the second time that day. "Roxas, right?"

Kavma sighed. "No. You wouldn't know who I'm talking about, and if you're SMART, you'll stop asking, unless you want me to throw the entire skyscraper at you!"

Now, for the third time. "Can you, now?"

Without even bothering to turn around, Kavma gestured at the skyscraper, which (much to Nexis' shock) was promptly torn out of the ground and levitated on the spot, ready to be flung. "Care to take that back, 'Lord' Nexis?" he said mockingly.

No one, much less Nexis, had any desire to be brained by an entire building. "I meant no offense, Kavma, now please put that down!"

Kavma sighed. "Fine." The Skyscraper fell down with a crash, causing a small earthquake in the region. "Do not bring that up in front of me again, Nexis. It brings back bad memories." He turned his back to Nexis, saying, "I have had enough of Organization XIII. But they had their uses…" He smirked. "I managed to get 11 prototype Replicas out of the deal as a consollation prize. My only scruple is that they failed to complete Kingdom Hearts. But then again…"

Nexis took a step forward. "'Then again' what?"
Kavma turned to face him again, a grin on his face. "There are other ways…for me to get what I want. Even if I have to use HIM to get it."

"Who?"
Kavma shook his head. "Wouldn't you like to know? At any rate, I've shown you enough. You've seen that Organization XIII has failed here. And ALL because they scorned me." His voice lost his fake cheeriness. "Would you do the same?"

Nexis grinned, taking a step back. "Why, Kavma, if I didn't know any better…" A white Keyblade materialized in his outstretched hand. "I'd say you were threatening me." He held the weapon, Grace, in front of him defensively.

Kavma did not react to the keyblade. "Do you perceive it as a threat?"

Nexis' free hand clenched, suddenly filled with a Keyblade of darkness. "…Maybe." He taunted as he reared back the black keyblade, Wrath, wanting a blow to have a full impact when it hit. However, he was just standing in a stance…

Kavma grinned. "Ah, Nexis…ever the cautious one. Yet so ignorant, you are. Know not the peril, you do."

"Don't you go Yoda on me!" Nexis charged forward faster than the eye can blink. As he swung Grace, Kavma vanished instantly, appearing behind Nexis.

"Hello."

Nexis spun and attempted to retaliate with Wrath, aiming the weapon at Kavma's neck. The silver-haired one ducked and, using the momentum of the swing to his advantage, flipped the black Keyblade out of Nexis's grasp, seizing the weapon before it could hit the ground. He promptly vanished, appearing at the top of the skyscraper.

"I have a wonderful present for you, Nexis!" he shouted, almost mockingly. "But what shall it be?"
Nexis, not bothering to say a word, ran toward the skyscraper and actually began to run up it. "Perhaps it is…despair?" Kavma then slashed Wrath at his feet, amazingly causing the entire skyscraper to split, and the top half to come plummeting toward the Eloquent Compromiser.

"Blast it!" Nexis leapt aside, narrowly avoiding being flattened and nearly crashing into a street lamp in the process. As he got to his feet, Kavma reappeared, swinging Wrath towards Nexis's abdomen. He barely managed to parry the blow, the impact sending shockwaves up his arm. Kavma then twisted his elbow, sending Grace flying upward.

"Maybe you would like sorrow, instead?" Kavma vanished, to reappear atop an as-of-yet untouched lamp post. "I'm having trouble deciding what to give you, personally. It could help if you gave me a suggestion."

Nexis' response was to rematerialize Grace in his hand and fire a blast of light from the tip, hitting Kavma head-on. He exploded into a thousand lights that slowly winked out of existence.

Nexis resisted the urge to cackle. The atmosphere literally became happier. And of course, the mood immediately went downhill as one of the wrecked buildings began to float and fly towards Nexis. Nexis's response to this, of course, was to jump out of the way as the building barreled past him. He briefly caught a glimpse of Kavma standing on the side of the flying wreck, completely unharmed, smirking at him. He was holding a sign that said, believe it or not:
PWNED.

W-what the?

He suddenly found himself dodging a thrown Wrath, nicking off some of his hair. "Figured you'd need that back," He heard Kavma taunt him from behind.

Nexis was no longer in the mood for games. As Kavma landed a few feet away from him, he ran toward the man with both Keyblades, ready to skewer him. As the blades were about to connect, however, Kavma—as hard as it may be to believe—transformed into a pillar of water, which the blades harmlessly cut through.

…The hell? Is he borrowing Demyx's powers or something?

Nexis's train of thought was interrupted as Kavma rematerialized and flicked him on the forehead, causing him to fly twenty feet through the air into one of the abandoned shops. In an act of desperation, he started throwing some of the shops' contents at him, before the shop itself collapsed in on Nexis.

As the dust settled, Kavma shrugged, saying, "I'm disappointed. I thought you would at least be better than this, but I suppose I caught you on a bad day."
"Oh, no, this is one of my better ones."

Kavma could feel the cold steel of Wrath touching the beck of his neck. He held up his hands in protest. "All right, all right! You win this round." He complained nonchalantly. "I suppose it was I who was having the bad day." He turned around to face the leader of the now-extinct Organization XIII. "Next time won't be a forfeit, though!" Before he snapped his fingers and was simply gone from Nexis' sight.

What in the world was THAT about?

Jacob: To Grim D. Slayer, the person who requested this chapter, we are utterly sorry for the lateness of this chapter, and for its lack of our usual quality.

Jordan: Think of it as a rather late Christmas present.

(Meanwhile)

Pearl: YAAAAAAGH! (Piledrives a bear)

Bobo: (Holds up a scoreboard that says Pearl: 5 Bear: 0)

Brain Guy: (Waves a little flag that say "Yay Pearl" on it)

Jordan:…All questions/comments go into the review box. Jacob, do you have the bear repellant?

Jacob: Yes. (Slathers honey onto Brain Guy and Bobo)

Brain Guy and Bobo: Uh oh…

Jordan (Looks at Jacob disapprovingly)

Jacob: What? It repelled them… from us!

Jordan: I have a BETTER idea. (As the bear expresses…interest in Bobo and Brain Guy, Jordan opens a crate) RELEASE THE BEES!

(Go ahead. GUESS what happens.)
