ZAzazza: Yo everyone! I spent all of last night to bring you that last chapter,and your reviews make it all worth while. Anyway,I'm sad to say to you TerraxAqua fans,and my fellow Ventus/VenxAqua fans that this is not a TerraxAqua,or Ventus/VenxAqua fanfiction. I'm writing this as an OCxAqua fic,but they won't be together as a couple until a certain Kingdom Hearts fanfic that I'm currently in the process of creating so wish me luck. Enjoy this chapter:)

Chapter 5: Mysterious Tower,and Destiny Islands
-Location: Radiant Garden-
"Then you leave me no choice."said Neosha (Dark Impulse style change) as he summoned his Keyblade,and took his battle stance. Aqua quickly summoned her Keyblade as Neosha charged at her,and swung his Keyblade connecting with Aqua's Keyblade causing sparks to fly.
"N-Neosha,stop please."begged Aqua as she began crippling under her friend's surprising strength. Neosha didn't say a word as he pushed Aqua back,and transformed his Keyblade into a Keyblade Cannon (Ultima Cannon shotlock),formed a large dark orb of energy,and fired it at Aqua. The female Keyblade Master (using the Teleport ability) dodged the attack,but didn't notice Neosha appear behind her until he swung his Keyblade (normal),but she managed to turn,and blocked the attack.
"Neosha stop! The darkness is controlling you."said Aqua as she tried to reason with her friend,and fellow Keyblade Master. Neosha didn't say a word as the two jumped back,and Neosha started walking toward Aqua. Said Keyblade Master allowed her Keyblade to disappear as Neosha started running toward her ready to strike,and as he got close to her,and swung his Keyblade Aqua threw her arms around his neck. Neosha stopped as his Keyblade nearly struck Aqua whom was hugging him.
"Please stop. I found out why you left. It was to learn how to control the darkness in your heart,but darkness isn't the answer. Terra,Ven,and I can help you surpress the darkness you're trying so hard to control. Please...let us help you. Let me help you."whispered Aqua as she held him tight in her grip. Neosha stood there motionless for a second before his Keyblade disappeared,and he wrapped his arms around Aqua. The dark aura around Neosha disappeared as tears slid down his face.
"I-I'm so sorry,Aqua. I didn't mean to lose control like that. I-."Neosha continously apologized until Aqua interrupted him.
"That doesn't matter. I just don't want to lose you to the darkness. You,or the others."said Aqua as tears escaped her eyes. Suddenly,without a word,Neosha grabbed Aqua by her shoulders,and forced her to look him straight in the eye.
"What is it,Neosha?"asked a confused Aqua. Neosha then leaned toward her causing her eyes to go wide with surprise because she realized he was about to kiss her. Aqua instinctively closed her eyes as she awaited the embrace of his lips upon hers. When she didn't feel his lips on hers she opened her eyes to see Neosha walking away.
"Neosha?"asked Aqua. Neosha turned his head slightly to look at her.
"Sorry Aqua. I...can't do it. I have to fix my mistakes first. I'm sorry."said Neosha before he donned his Keyblade armor,changed his Keyblade into his Keyblade Glider,and flew off. Aqua remained there stunned by what almost happened. Neosha tried to kiss her. Aqua's best friend,and fellow Keyblade Master tried to kiss her,but stopped himself from doing so. Aqua then realized that she was willing to let him because...
"I've...fallen in love with Neosha."said Aqua as a light blush adorned her cheeks,but also a small smile graced her lips as she accepted the undeniable truth that after all the time herself,Terra,Ventus,and Neosha had spent under the teachings of Master Eraqus together that she had come to fall in love with the white haired Keyblade Master. She held a hand over her heart as she felt a small warmth inside,silently wishing Neosha a safe voyage.
-With Neosha-
-Lanes Between-
Neosha was flying through the Lanes Between with the events that just happened playing through his head.
'I almost kissed Aqua. What was I thinking? Now she knows how I feel about her. That doesn't matter now. I have to find Master Xehanort,and make him tell me the truth.'thought Neosha as he kicked up the speed,and took off before coming to a world with a tall tower,and flew toward it.
-Mysterious Tower-
Neosha landed outside the tower to see a white duck,wearing magician clothes,carrying a water pale inside. 'I wonder what that duck is doing with water. Better follow him.'thought Neosha (normal) as he went inside,and went up a long flight of stairs. When he made it to the top he went inside a room to find a dog with black fur,black eyes,and wore armor with a helmet (that was too small) on his head,and an old wizard with a gray beard,a blue robe,a blue hat with crescent moons,and stars on it,and black eyes.
"Who are you?"asked the dog.
"I'm Neosha."said Neosha. The wizard looked at Neosha.
"I'm Goofy. That there is my good pal,Donald,and that's King Mickey."said the dog as he pointed at the unconscious black mouse. Neosha felt sad about Mickey's condition.
"Neosha,my name is Yen Sid,and I assume you're here because you wish to know where Master Xehanort is."said the wizard.
"Yes,Master Yen Sid."said Neosha as he bowed. Yen Sid closed his eyes for a little while before opening them again,and looking at Neosha.
"Go to the Badlands,and you'll find what you seek,but beware that not all is as you think."said Yen Sid. Neosha bowed again.
"Thank you,Master Yen Sid."said Neosha as he turned,and left. Yen Sid looked out the window.
"I sense that Master Xehanort has tampered with the darkness in that boy's heart. But for what reason I do not know."said Yen Sid as he looked at four certain twinkling stars.
-The Badlands-
Neosha arrived to find Master Xehanort waiting for him. "I knew you would arrive."said Master Xehanort with an evil smile. Neosha glared at him.
"Why did you really free the darkness in Ven's heart?"asked Neosha. Master Xehanort chuckled which only angered Neosha as he summoned his Keyblade,and took his battle stance.
"The answer is simple. To forge the X-Blade!"answered Master Xehanort. Neosha's eyes went wide with surprise.
"X-Blade?"asked Neosha. Master Xehanort held out his hand as an "X" appeared in his hand.
"Not like the ones you,and I wield. This X-Blade acted as protecter of the source of all light in the worlds: Kingdom Hearts! In the age of fairy tales the worlds were once united under Kingdom Hearts,and everybody was happy until others wanted to take it for themselves. They crafted man made Keyblades in the image of the original X-Blade. Keyblade wielders of light,and darkness battled for Kingdom Hearts which resulted in the first Keyblade War. The resulting war shattered the X-Blade,and plunged the worlds into darkness as well as Kingdom Hearts. In the end the last glimmers of light that remained in the hearts of children reconstructed the worlds into what we see today."explained Master Xehanort as the "X" disappeared. Neosha was even more shocked.
"Then what does the X-Blade have to do with Ven?"asked Neosha. Master Xehanort flashed a crooked smile.
"In order to forge the X-Blade a heart of pure light,and a heart of pure darkness must clash."answered Master Xehanort. Neosha then realized what Master Xehanort had planned for Ventus. He clenched his teeth in anger.
"I won't let you use Ven to forge the X-Blade! I'll put an end to you right here,right NOW!"Neosha shouted the last part as he charged at Master Xehanort,but the elderly Keyblade Master chuckled as he summoned his Keyblade (Master Xehanort's Keyblade),and blocked the attack with ease. Neosha forced Master Xehanort back before he followed up with an Ars Arcanum attack,but Master Xehanort caught Neosha's Keyblade with his bare hand which shocked Neosha. However,Master Xehanort used the opening to strike Neosha sending him into a stalagmite sticking out of the ground. Master Xehanort approached a barely conscious Neosha.
"You may not understand,my boy,but I still need you. You shall be my vessel which will allow me to see what lies beyond the Keyblade War. Now go,and get stronger so your darkness can sustain me!"said Master Xehanort as he fired a dark beam from the tip of his Keyblade into the sky which opened a large dark corridor that pulled Neosha inside.
-Later-
-Destiny Islands-
Neosha awoke on the shores of an island. 'Where am I?'thought Neosha as he sat up,and looked at the setting sun.
"Are you okay,mister?"asked a young voice. Neosha looked beside him to see a young boy with black sipkey hair,jade green eyes,and wore a white t-shirt,black shorts,and white sandals. Neosha gave the boy a soft smile.
"I'm fine. What's your name?"asked Neosha. The boy put his hands behind his head,and gave Neosha a big grin.
"My name is Neo,and I was playing with my friends Sora,and Riku."said the boy as he pointed toward the dock where two other boys were waiting for him. Young Sora had spikey brown hair,blue eyes,and wore a white t-shirt,red shorts,and brown sandals. Young Riku had gray hair,blueish green eyes,and wore a yellow t-shirt,blue shorts,and white shoes.
'I sense potential in this boy.'thought Neosha. He then summoned his Keyblade which caught Young Neo's attention.
"I want to give you something,but first I want you to promise me that you'll always protect your friends no matter what. Okay?"said Neosha. Young Neo nodded his head.
"I promise."said Young Neo. Neosha then held out his Keyblade to Young Neo.
"In your hand take this blade,so that one day it's wielder you shall become."said Neosha as Young Neo took Neosha's Keyblade,but it didn't reappear in it's master's hand.
'It worked.'thought Neosha who was satisfied with the success of making the young boy a Keyblade wielder. Neosha's Keyblade then disappeared.
"Hey Neo! Come on!"called Young Sora as he,and Young Riku waved at him.
"Coming! Bye mister."said Young Neo as he ran back to his friends. Neosha smiled as he watched the three boys talk,and goof off.
'Terra,Ventus,Aqua...I know we'll patch things up someday.'thought Neosha. He then got a look of determination as he donned his Keyblade armor,changed his Keyblade into his Keyblade Glider,and flew off to confront Master Xehanort,and put an end to everything.
