Somewhere, in an unknown location...
...
"You're all a bunch of losers who call themselves by Xehanort! Get a life!" Sora yelled. It was Data Sora from Coded inside Coco Jumbo (the turtle) Stand, Mr.
President. He was wearing a Vanitas suit.
"SHUT UP! You are not real. Want to be? Or don't be?'' Cloud of Darkness smiled in a wicked way, with a baby in arms.
''So you are the one behind Darkness?'' Luxu asked with a wintry stare towards the hooded figure, which revealed herself to be a half-naked humanoid female with
long strands and yellow tentacles with jaws.
''I AM DARKNESS.'' She said in a deep voice that filled the entire room.
''Sure.'' LLuxu giggled while keeping a serious composture. Her green face turned red. ''Prove you are Darkness. The very Darkness Master Xehanort and his goons
have been trying to seek for their petty goals. The Darkness Riku is skilled at, Vanitas said he was Darkness...''
''Darkness is within every heart. It exists since the birth of creation.'' The female figure said with an arrogant pose but in a clarifying voice that resonate with
Maleficent's seemingly endless search for Darkness. ''7 darknesses were meant to be locked away in the foretellers/Luxu/MoM... I am Darknesss combined. I know who MoM
is.
''Who?'' Soon as Maleficent said, a wind blew inside the dungeoun and all candles were out.
''...Sora's father, Demyx.'' She said.
Back to Japan...
...
''JOSUKE! We must rescue Josuke-san!'' Speedwagon screamed in despair, soon as he threw his blade hat filled with Hamon energy and sliced a hole in Rohan's mansion wall.
''Speedwagon is right! We must rescue him!'' Shigechi said. ''Josuke may be a hard-head but he's still a human being!''
''But what about Sora? And Freya?'' Neku said as he stared at both Keyblade warrior and Burmecian knight lying unconscious on the floor, covered in utter darkness.
''Have no worries! My popcorns are filled with microscopic Stand explosives!'' Kira said, as he explained hi Stand's power. ''Rohan's darkness has infected your friends and it's spreading inside their bodies through their bloodstream. T.N.T For the Brain's remote bombs will soon be digested by their stomaches and enter their bloodstream, undetected by their immune response.''
''Are you sure your Stand can fight this kind of darkness?'' Riku could not see anything but he felt the smell of aggressive darkness.
''It seems to be working.'' Koichi said, as he and everyone noticing Sora and Freya coming back to their true colors instead of living shadows.
''Very well.'' Speedwagon took his hat and put back on his head. He proceeded to check his fallen comrades heartbeats, sending Ripple waves to their hearts. ''I can't feel her pulse. Neither Sora, but that can't be... I'll try once again.''
''Squawk-friend squaw-kay!?'' Bird-Brain said in a sad tone. He hated seeing his friends die. ''Squaw-Sora dead, SQUAWK-AWK DOUG... Doug dead...''
''Who is Doug?'' Koichi asked. Then he realized Bird-Brain was crying and offered him a juice bottle he had on his pocket. ''It must have been a friend of his who passed. My condolences.''
''I am not dead. Not yet...'' Freya's voice was faint, but she was strong enough to stand up by herself.
''Lady Freya!'' Speedwagon exclaimed. ''So that means my Hamom was useful for your recovery.''
''Indeed. And Sora is also doing fine.'' Freya said, as she helped Sora get up, but he fell asleep all of sudden. ''Wake up, Sora!''
''Huh?'' Sora was confused at first, but then he opened his eyes and saw his dearest friends again. ''Am I alive?''
''Yes, you are.'' Riku said, crossing his arms. ''But I don't know about Josuke.''
''We must go rescue him. Together!'' Speedwagon said, as he, Riku, Sora, Freya and everyone else followed him to the hole in the wall. ''This wall is regenerating, what the hell! Rohan's house must be made of darkness!''
''Quick, get inside!'' Freya jumped in as fast as she could, while Okuyasu summoned The Hand and pulled everyone inside the mansion by erasing space before the hole closed itself.
''And Josuke thought I was a dumbass!'' Okuyasu said proudly. ''I have learned to use my powers, if only he knew...''
''This mansion is bigger inside.'' Sora said, staring at the dark. Everything was dark. ''Are we back into the Realm of Darkness?''
''Not really. This place is indeed made of darkness, but Rohan seems to have it under control. He must know we are here.''
''I have nullified our footsteps noises!'' Echoes ACT 3 said, standing before his user Koichi Hiroshe. ''Stay close of me, this ability's ranges from five meters for now.''
''I haven't used it for a while, I had to study for the final exam.'' Koichi scratched his head with complicated feelings.
''It doesn't matter, darkness can alter time and space if used well.'' Riku said, feeling the slightest changes of darkness. It smelled the same, but something was different.
''What's with this bizarre architecture?'' Sora blinked and when his eyes opened again, he saw floating stairs in all directions, seemingly leading nowhere.
''Rohan lives inside a MC Escher painting!'' Speedwagon shouted. He felt dizzy just by standing upside down.
''It might be just an illusion, but we must be careful.'' Freya advised. ''This reminds me of Ipsen Castle
''We should stay together! You know, in horror movies, the protagonists always get killed after separating!'' Okuasyu is frightened by the black and white atmosphere devoided of life.
''Judging this is a darkness trap like the cinema we were at before, Josuke should not be distant from us.'' Neku said, turning on his headphones to listen to Thom Brennan's Mountains album. He needed to relax.
Meanwhile, at Burmecia...
...
Enrico Pucci, Ben Reilly, Kairi (who has long hair like in KH2) and Sir Fratley are facing their worst enemy, Richter Blackmore!
''H-Hey guys! What did I miss?'' Sabin arrived, together of Zell Dincht.
''Oh, hi Sab.'' Said Fratley, greting the two fighters. ''Hi Zell.''
''What's up?'' Zell asked. He and Sabin went on a search to find some hotdog at Burmecia, but they haven't found any. Zell looked disappointed. He looked at Blackmore and was terrified. ''Whoa! Who's the creep?''
''Name's Blackmore. He certainly does not look friendly.'' Kairi said, holding on to her Keyblade. She tried to memorize everything learnt with Master Aqua. The result of years of training would finally be shown.
''Six against one. Zell yeah!'' Shouted Zell, in a cat stance position, doing erratic punchs and kics in the air. The SeeD mercenary really didn't wanted to fight but eat at hotdog, but whatever, he already hated Blackmore's guts already.
''Please. Not in front of children...'' Sir Fratley demanded politely, afraid that innocents could get hurt.
''Dude, know that I can a suplex a whole train.'' Sabin said, clenching his fists.
''That was a ghost train...'' Pucci interrupted, to which Sabin looked mad at him.
''Be quiet.'' Sabin yelled at the Priest. For some reason, Sabin's clothes reminded Pucci of a special someone. He looked like Master DIO, but that could not be coincidence.
''Gentleman. Lady.'' Blackmore said in a quiet soothing voice. ''I will not fight you here... Not at your bequest.''
''Huh?'' Sir Fratley looked like a confused baby that just woke up and yawned.
''This ain't the proper battlefield.'' Blackmore said in a rispid voice, yet in a calm way like before. ''I am sorry if I hurted your carrots. I didn't meant to, didn't noticed, but that's unforgiving. I am deeply sorry.''
''What?'' Kairi said, shocked.
''The fuck, dude?'' Ben Reilly said, with a NY's accent.
''Perhaps the lady and the brave men should know that I do not fight against those who can't fight me back.'' Said Blackmore in an apologizing way. He was good at keeping his cool, but something was wrong. Perhaps Blackmore was too cool enough to be a bad guy with second intentions.
''When did you began to care about the defenseless ones, you sicko?'' Somehow, Ben could feel a wicked energy within Blackmore's heart. And yet, that mysterious man had more to hide.
''One would say that travelling throught a portal from United States to another dimension would not make one feel hungry.'' Blackmore sounded less informal as he talked and rain fell on his shoulders.
''Want some tea?'' Pucci gently asked. The Priest too felt an evil energy on the man with a dark coat and umbrella. He was a Stand User and a Darkness user too. An horrific combination.
''Why? Thanks. I'm very hungry! After I drink some tea, I shall have no mercy on you.'' Blackmore when from kind to mean in a rather quick pace.
''Really? A tea?'' Sabin was frustated. He liked to fight and kick some butt.
''Our guest must be hungry. Right?'' Pucci looked closer at Sabin and indeed, he looked like DIO, but only by looks.
''..Right.'' Sabin understood Enrico Pucci's plan and nodded.
''Dang, I wish I could taste a flavored bread, or a hotdog, or a bretzel...'' Zell gave up his fight stance as he walked inside Fratley's house, where Pucci prepared some burmecian tea for Blackmore.
''(I think we should slip a sleep potion on his tea.)'' Kairi whispered to Fratley.
''(Not my style, but I want to get rid of this man soon enough.'' Ben Reilly heard the conversation and agreed with Kairi.
''(I don't know...)'' The burmecian knight glared at both teenagers with disappointment. ''(I don't do that to no one. Not even my worst enemies. I prefer to fight in a fair and honest way.)''
''(That guy is anything but honest.)'' Ben Reilly said, looking inside the kitchen where Blackmore eagerly awaited for his tea.
''(What should we do? Any suggestions?)'' Kairi asked, while thinking of a plan.
''(I once saw a movie called Fargo where they put a corpse inside a wood-chipper.)'' Said Ben, having a flashback. ''(I think we could do same.)''
''(No way! I have absolutely no idea what the heck is a wood-chipper, but we are not killers. We do fight, but that does not mean we should kill. A burmecian's claws are tainted in blood since the dawn of times and I want to change that.)'' Fratley said, feeling confident yet a kind of loser.
''(Well, any ideas?)'' Sabin listened to the conversation and all he could think about was doing a suplex on Blackmore.
''(...To be honest, the poisoning was my very first idea.)'' Sir Fratley sat on a wood trunk, with a sorrowful expression in face. ''(I don't want to fight, I just want to live my life in the stilness, and Freya... I wonder when she'll be back home. We need to talk about our relationship and the letters Mog sent are not enough. I need to see her face, to know she is alright and besides, Moogles can't send letters to other dimensions, if that's Freya's case because she never replied back. Either that, or she's still mad at me.)''
''(This Blackmore dude happens to travel throught dimensions. Maybe after we defeat him, we can take a ride to whatever place your dearly beloved is at.)'' Kairi said, being optimistic. There are times she hated how Sora looked happy even when he found himself travelling to unknown realms, but it was alright, she understands why Sora did that.
''Yeah. Maybe.'' Sir Fratley smiled, still feeling miserable but he smiled because of Kairi. ''I feel weird sometimes, like I am not the same person I was before, like I completely changed for the worst. But there was a girl I taught everything I know about the Dragoon, and in return, Freya taught me back not her skills, but that very community bond we've had together once again. It was her turn to teach me something back.''
''How cute...'' Kairi said, as she and Fratley holded hands. ''Now say Ayuk!''
''...Why would I ever say that?'' Fratley looked at Kairi with a straight face and could not resist but burst into laughter. ''This is so dumb."
