Chapter 1: The Mark of Mastery Exam Part 1
-4 years later-
-Location: Land of Departure,Time: Evening-
The blonde haired boy (who is now wearing a black shirt with a zip up black,and white t-shirt over it,and two black belts strapped over his upper torso in an "X" shape with a strange symbol in the middle,and an armor shoulder piece on his left shoulder) was laying on his bed while holding a wooden Keyblade back hand style in his right hand. There was a name etched in the hand guard (Terra).
"Tomorrow Terra,Aqua,and Neosha are going to be taking the Mark of Mastery Exam,and one of them will become a Keyblade Master. One day all four of us will be Keyblade Masters,and then we'll all go see all the worlds."said the boy as he put the wooden Keyblade away. Suddenly,the boy's door flew open. "Ventus!"said the white haired boy as he rushed into the room. The white haired boy now wore a white tank top with a hooded zip up t-shirt that he kept unzipped,two black belts strapped over his upper torso in an "X" shape,and had the same symbol as Ventus in the middle of his chest,and an armor shoulder piece on his left shoulder.
"What is it,Neosha?"asked Ventus as he sat up. "Let's go,or we're going to miss the meteor shower!"said Neosha. "That's tonight?! Let's go!"said Ventus as he sprang from his bed,and ran out the door with Neosha right behind him.
-Outside the castle-
Neosha,and Ventus noticed a lot of stuff in the way. "I guess Terra forgot to clean up the grounds again."said Ventus. "We got time. Let's get this junk out of the way,and then find a place to watch the meteor shower."said Neosha. "Alright."said Ventus as he summoned his Keyblade,and held it back hand style as he took his battle stance. Neosha summoned his own Keyblade before he,and Ventus ran in two different directions,and began destroying the junk. Neosha was cutting through the junk with impressive power,and speed. "Quick Blitz!"shouted Neosha as he spun around,and swung his Keyblade taking out three whole rows of junk. "Fire!"shouted Ventus as he shot a fire ball from his Keyblade causing the junk to explode.
"That's that."said Ventus. "Alright,now we need to get moving,or we're going to miss the meteor shower."said Neosha. He,and Ventus then ran to find a spot to watch the meteor shower.
-A few minutes later-
Ventus,and Neosha came to a cliff that had green grass,a lamp post,and a bench. "WHOA!"exclaimed Neosha,and Ventus in unison when they saw the meteor shower begin. Ventus laid down on the grass while Neosha sat on the bench. "Hey Neosha."said Ventus. "Yeah?"said Neosha while continuing to watch the meteor shower. "Do you think things will stay like this?"asked Ventus. "No,but one thing will."said Neosha. "What's that?"asked Ventus as he looked toward his friend,and fellow Keyblade wielder. Neosha looked toward Ventus,and smiled. "You,me,Terra,and Aqua will always be friends no matter what."said Neosha. Ventus smiled. "Yeah,you're right."said Ventus as he,and Neosha returned their attention to the meteor shower.
-Later-
Neosha opened his eyes,and raised his head up. "Must've fallen asleep."said a groggy Neosha as he looked toward Ventus who was sound asleep. Neosha shrugged his shoulders before laying his head back...only to find a teenage girl with blue hair,blue eyes,and wore an outfit similar to Ventus's outfit except she wore shorts with a white,and blue skirt that was open in the front,boots with metal blades on top,and knee high black socks,a black tank top,clip on sleeves that left her shoulders bare,two pink belts strapped over her upper torso in an "X" shape,arm guards ( which the one on her left arm summons her armor),and a symbol in the middle of her chest just like Ventus,and Neosha (I found out that the symbol on all three characters is the symbol for Master Eraqus),leaning over him. "AAAHHHH!"screamed Neosha as he fell off the bench from surprise. "Neosha you lazy bum*giggles*."said the girl. "What happened?"asked a still half asleep Ventus as he raised up. Neosha looked back at the girl before getting a big grin as he stood up. "Gimme a break,Aqua."said Neosha. Aqua giggled again before going,and sitting next to Ventus. "The stars are really beautiful tonight."said Aqua. Then Neosha sat next to Aqua. "They're not the only thing that is beautiful."said Neosha before he could stop himself. Aqua's cheeks lit up red. "W-What do you mean by that?"asked Aqua. This time it was Neosha's turn to blush. "N-Nevermind!"Neosha quickly said,and averted his eyes from Aqua. He looked up at the stars. "What do you think those stars are?"said Neosha.
"They're worlds."said a voice. Neosha,Aqua,and Ventus turned to see a young man with brown hair,blue eyes,and wore an oufit similar to Aqua,and Ventus's outfits except he wore a black muscle shirt,tan pants,metal boots,wore a gauntlet on his left arm that connected with an armor shoulder piece on his left shoulder,two red belts strapped over his upper torso in an "X" shape,and had the same symbol as Neosha,Aqua,and Ventus on his belt. "Terra!"said Ventus. "And there are as many worlds as there is stars."said Terra. "I finally figured it out!"Neosha suddenly blurted out. "Figured what out?"asked Terra,Aqua,and Ventus in unison. "My dream."said Neosha. "What is it?"asked Aqua. Neosha got a big grin on his face. "To see all worlds."said Neosha. "Then don't let go of that dream. Keep chasing after it."said Terra. "You bet!"said Neosha as he jumped to his feet. Ventus,and Aqua stood up. "I almost forgot."said Aqua as she reached into her pocket. "What?"asked Neosha. Aqua then pulled out four star shaped charms. "Tada,good luck charms."said Aqua as she gave one to Neosha,Terra,and Ventus (Terra's is orange,Ventus's is green,Aqua's is blue,and Neosha's is red).
"Good luck charms?"asked Neosha as he looked at his charm. "They're technically supposed to be made with thalassa sea shells,but I did my best with what I had. The star shape is suppose to represent a star shaped fruit out there that,when shared between two people,forms an unbreakable connection between them."explained Aqua. "An unbreakable connection."said Neosha as he smiled at his luck charm. "I swear sometimes you are such a girl."said Terra. Aqua glared at Terra. "What do you mean sometimes?"Aqua asked warningly. "Since you three are taking the Mark of Mastery exam tomorrow how about a quick spar?"suggested Ventus as a way to keep Aqua from killing Terra. 'Nice save there Ventus.'thought Neosha. "Alright."said Neosha,Terra,and Aqua. "I'll face Neosha."said Terra as he summoned his Keyblade (Earthshaker from Birth by Sleep). "Alright."said Neosha as he summoned his Keyblade (End of Pain from Dream Drop Distance). Both Keyblade wielders took their battle stances. "Begin!"shouted Aqua.
Terra,and Neosha ran at each other. Terra swung his Keyblade vertically,but Neosha jumped to avoid the blow before counterattacking by swinging his Keyblade horizontally,but Terra (using his Slide ability) avoided the attack. When Neosha landed on his feet he looked behind him to see Terra hurl his Keyblade at him,but Neosha switched to back hand style,and placed his Keyblade behind his back to block the attack. Terra's Keyblade collided with Neosha's Keyblade causing it (Terra's Keyblade) to bounce off,and back to it's master's right hand. Neosha switched back to forward hand style,and followed up with a counterattack. he ran at Terra,but Terra swung his Keyblade down upon Neosha only for said Keyblade wielder to slide around him. "Nice try!"said Neosha before he swung his Keyblade, cutting Terra's back,and sending the Keyblade warrior flying a few feet ahead. Terra stood up on one knee,and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. "So...you want to keep going?"asked Neosha as he rested his Keyblade on his shoulder. 'How did Neosha get this strong? During our other spars he could hardly keep up with my attacks unless I went easy on him,but now I can hardly keep up with him! What is going on?'thought Terra. "If you're wonder how I'm stronger than I should be,it's because I put in a lot more training than seemingly possible."explained Neosha. He then pointed his Keyblade at Terra. "I'll prove it by showing you my level two shotlock: Sonic Shadow!"said Neosha before he disappeared. 'Where did he go?'thought Terra as he stood up,and looked around for Neosha. Suddenly,Neosha appeared in a dark veil before rapidly rushing Terra ten times,the last blow sending Terra into a boulder. Terra then fell to his hands,and knees as his Keyblade disappeared. Neosha then raised his Keyblade in the air. "Cura!"shouted Neosha as a green veil surrounded Terra healing his wounds,and even fixing the tears in his clothes. Neosha's Keyblade disappeared as it's master walked over to Terra,and held out his hand. Terra noticed this,and smiled as he took Neosha's hand,and stood up with his friend's help.
"You're definitely Keyblade Master material."said Terra. "You are,too."said Neosha. "Hey you two. Let's head back."said Aqua. "Alright."said Terra,and Neosha. The four friends then walked back to the castle together.
-All four friends POV (point of view)-
That was the last night we would spend under the stars together.
-Normal POV-
-The next day-
Neosha,Terra,and Aqua stood before three thrones while Ventus stood off to the side. The man sitting in the throne on the right had black hair done up in a pony tail,a black mustache,and short beard,brown eyes,and wore a black shirt with a white long coat,white boots,two white belts strapped over his upper torso in an "X" shape,and had the same symbol as Neosha,Terra,Aqua,and Ventus on his belt. The old man seated on the left throne was bald,had gold eyes,gray chin hair,and wore a white button up shirt with a black trench coat,white gloves,black pants,and black boots. The man on the right throne stood up. "Neosha,Terra,and Aqua! You three are here to show that one of you bears the Mark of Mastery,and therefore the right to be named a true Keyblade Master. I,Master Eraqus,am proud to have called you my I could I would name you all Keyblade Masters,but I'm sure we wouldn't want our guest,Master Xehanort,to see any of you fall short of the mark."said the man as he motioned toward the old man whom bowed his head slightly. "No Master!"said Neosha,Terra,and Aqua in unison. Master Eraqus then summoned his Keyblade (Eraqus' Keyblade from Birth by Sleep,and able to be wielded in the secret episode on Birth by Sleep Final Mix). "Then let the examination BEGIN!"said Master Eraqus as a sphere of light appeared at the tip of his Keyblade,and orbs of light appeared all over the throne room. Neosha,Terra,and Aqua summoned their Keyblades. However,when no one was looking Master Xehanort flicked his right wrist,and the orbs of light became cloaked in a dark aura.
