Thank you VERY MUCH for reviewing Into the Darkness of the World! I'm SO glad you bothered to go back to do just that! That's why you're my FAVORITE reader! I REALLY APPRECIATE IT! XD

I know it's belated but hey, I kept my promise...didn't I? :P

By the way, what did you think of Chapters 699 and 700? I'll tell you what I think in the next update of Love Will Never Die. Prepare yourself.

I guess it's due to my style, huh Zylia16? That's understandable; it is a little confusing after all. I'm glad you reviewed it regardless! (:

Thanks for the praise Talonflame21! I sure will! ^_^

Thanks pikachucat! Here it is! :D

It's been a while since I've updated, huh? Well, I DID warn you all that posts will be slowed due to school resuming. Plus with the starting of Love Will Never Die and the completion of Not As Simple As It Sounds, they were EVEN SLOWER! I'm sorry about that! (:

Just as the threatened made to flee, a smothering haze descended upon the clearing, pausing him in his tracks. "What the?!"

Sasuke gaped at the sight. "What are they?!"

"I remember seeing creatures like these before..." Naruto commented.

Zorua shivered. "Same here! I think they're called—"

"Heartless." The three gazed at Tsutaaja as her Outrage and Frustration cleared. "These monsters are known as Heartless." Four marine dragons bearing distictive yellow spikes akin to swords on their crowns above short wings resembling tides over glove-like feet in front of large spines originating from their tails descended, shrilly wailing. However, what really caught their attention was the humongous fiend in the center, its multitude of serpentine skulls plus its array of giant tentacles growing from a deep crimson body dwarfing the rest. "The heads of a hydra and the arms of a kraken...Hydraken. The others surrounding it are Wavecrests. We have to get rid of—"

"Like I'll let you!" The four were surprised as Mizuotokonoko stepped to the front, his Pokémon awakening simultaneously. "I'm the one with the affinity for water so I'll catch them!"

The blond tapped his chin in thought. "Is that even possible?"

"Who knows?" The raven shrugged.

The squamata face-palmed, tsking her former trainer. "That idiot..."

"Gamageroge...Whirlpool! Futachimaru, Swanna, Hiyakkie...Brine! Burungeru...Water Spout! Gekkōga...Hydro Cannon!" The blunet commanded, pointing at the sought. "We can't let them get away!"

The snake rolled her eyes. "Like that will work." The eddy ensnared the five, trapping them as the remaining attacks made their marks, causing an explosion of liquid to rain down.

The boy smirked. "You were sa—" His smug expression instantly morphed into horror as he witnessed his targets emerging unscathed, retaliating; the wyverns spun, drilling toward their prey as the hybrid lashed a single whip at the otter. "Don't let it grab you! Ward it off through Shell Blade!" The instructed complied, retrieving its discarded tools, razor-sharp aqua already materializing from the tips.

"Something bad is about to occur." The verdant huffed.

The fox quirked a brow. "What do you mean by tha—"

"YOU IMBECILE! LOOK WHAT YOU HAVE DONE!" The vulpine gawked at the terrific sight before him; a weapon had sliced clean though a neck while its replica cleaved a limb, chopping them both off. "YOU RUINED MY CHANCES OF CATCHING THE ULTIMATE WATER-TYPE!"

The culprit stared at its master in disbelief. "Futa?!"

"'Why are you screaming at me?!'" The verdant echoed, her voice mocking. "After all this time, I can't believe that that pathetic excuse of a trainer hasn't yelled at you."

The insulted snarled. "FU!"

"'Shut up!'" The addressed grinned wickedly. "Never."

"Look!" The two followed the dark-type's paw, their argument halting immediately; from each stump came a pair of identical appendages, the growths snapping wildly. "I can't believe that they regenerated!"

"We've got to be careful." The squamata frowned. "We could get snatched and devoured."

The semiaquatic laughed. "Futa?!"

"'Scared?!'" The kitsune echoed. "You aren't?!"

It crossed its arms arrogantly, grasping the handles of its keratin before leaping at the enemy. "Chi!"

"'Of course not!'" The endotherm translated. "What a foolish decision."

"DON'T YOU DARE YOU STUPID CREATURE!" The azure paused midair at the exclamation, allowing the behemoth to snatch the hapless being into its clutches. "NOW LOOK WHAT HAPPENED; YOU LET IT CATCH YOU!"

"Shouldn't you be more concerned with rescuing your own Pokémon?!" His ex-companion chastised. "After all, Futachimaru is also a water-type; I thought you treasure all of them!"

"Heh, yeah right." The former owner scoffed. "I only care about the strongest; the weak can go and die for all I care."

"Maru..." The disheartened ceased to struggle, permitting its captor to raise it to the multiple gaping jaws.

"'No way...'" The ivy imitator shrugged. "About time you realized it."

"What are you doing?!" The serpent glanced up, observing the scene at hand; the five closed in on the myth after evading the dragons' onslaught, staring it down.

"Swa!"

"Gama!"

"Hiya!"

"Bur!"

"Gekkō!"

"'We need to help our friend!'" Tsutaaja repeated. "To think that they actually have a sense of camaraderie." The pentad ignored the abomination, focusing on the captor.

"Nna!"

"Roge!"

"Kkie!"

"Geru!"

"Ga!"

"'Go!'" Zorua was stunned. "Whoa..."

The quintet unleashed a barrage of hydropower, not holding back at all. The aqua struck from all sides, the fluid exploding.

The snake shook her head. "Muimina." As if on cue, a deafening howl pierced through the mist. The assaulters were frozen as they witnessed their target emerging unscathed, its prey still firm in its hold. "Elemental Heartless are immune to their own attribute." She then turned to the shocked. "Use anything other than water-type moves!"

The frog quivered in fear. "Ge!"

"'I don't know any'?!" The reptile shouted incredulously before swiveling to the rest. "What about you; I saw you using alternate attacks when we last clashed!"

The monkey was panicked. "HIYA!"

"WE FORGOT ALL OF THEM'?!" The fox was astonished. "How is that possible?!"

"Water-types don't need to rely on different moves." Mizuotokonoko replied. "They're strong enough on their own."

"Not when the opponent can absorb them!" The despised retorted. "How could you remove their diversity?!"

"As if it matters." The boy obstinately stated.

Shrill shrieks filled the air, drawing their attention; the remainders were imprisoned, all six lifted to the waiting traps. The Wavecrests hovered in place, watching in amusement as the quarry struggled in vain only to be drowned in endless streams.

"No way..." The trainer's eyes widened at the calamity before making to run. "I'm out of here!"

"You coward!" The female accused. "How could you ditch your own friends?!"

"Survival is more important!" The boy snarled. "If I go there, I'll be eaten!"

"Yet your Pokémon stayed and didn't flee once they saw their comrade in distress, whether they would be in danger or not!" The tawny yelled. "YOU WIMP!"

"Pathetic." The raven humphed.

The screams only increased in pitch as the polycephaly bit all of them, causing them to slump over as a violet static coursed through. "They've been poisoned!" The quadruped announced. "Now they can't fight back!"

"Like I need to hear that!" The pitiful seethed. "I must s—AHH!" A tentacle wrapped around the child, lifting him high up. "LET ME GO! LET ME GO!"

"Too bad." The Hydraken hissed before snapping a neck forward.

"AHHH—HUH?!" Just before its teeth could sink into his flesh, something collided into its body, rocking it forward. "What the?!" The victim glanced at the cause, incoherent words pouring out of his lips at the sight; Tsutaaja had slammed a Leaf Blade into the monster's side as a flurry of fronds and petals raged on, pausing it in its tracks while inflicting damage.

"You—"

"Get out of here you despicable idiot!" An electric green aura enveloped the attacker, paralyzing the intended as the user collided into it. "I won't be telling you twice so just leave!" A spectral beam escaped from the commander's palms, confounding the malignant and forcing it to release its prey. The savior next approached her ex-allies, a divine aroma wafting from her skin as she crossed her arms toward the afflicted, relieving them of the toxins infecting their systems. The recovered picked themselves up, gazing at her disbelievingly. The healer then leapt at the Heartless, the Sweet Scent which leaked out attracting them to her. "Didn't you hear me?!"

The otter gaped. "Futa?!"

"'Why did you help us'?" The questioned echoed. "Even though I hate you all, I just can't stand there and let you be killed." She abruptly growled. "What are you waiting for?!"

"Useless." Mizuotokonoko glowered before complying, the seven fleeing the scene.

"That jerk." The squamata tsked before returning her focus to the current problem. "I guess we don't have to hold back anymore."

"Yes!" Naruto cheered as he stepped up.

Sasuke followed him, smirking. "Hn."

"Yeah!" The metamorphose changed into Brigarron, getting to an offensive stance. "Let the battle begin!" The duo advanced toward the wyverns who were charging at them, utilizing twin shields coated in thorns to halt them in their tracks whilst dealing damage before the endotherm sent a jolt of electricity, locking their muscles.

"Kusanagi no Tsurugi: Chidorigatana! Chidori Eisō!" The lightning-enhanced attacks made their marks, inflicting serious wounds. "Chidori Nagashi!" The current electrocuted the enemies, forcing them to the ground as they writhed in severe agony.

The Uzumaki dashed ahead, gaining a cloak of golden energy in the process. Ethereal arms stretched from his sides, joining his fleshy pair. "Fūton: Chōōdama Rasenshuriken!" The manifested orb was launched, its blades slicing through its targets in the blink of an eye. The lindworms managed to recover, however, hurling gushing blasts at them which were about to make contact until...

"What the?!" ...a blinding light rained down onto the field, stunning the sources as an explosion of flames vaporized the streams. The shinobi were stunned as they scanned the area for the origins.

"Those look awfully familiar..." The 'hedgehog' tapped his chin in thought.

The verdant's eyes bugged. "Is that—"

"Long time no see!"

"You missed me?"

The debris that had been strewn into the air cleared, revealing two figures vastly different in stature. The taller had crimson hair styled into a haphazard mane which flowed past a golden scarf surrounding a tangerine sleeveless sark bearing maroon pockets parted at the middle to reveal a white shirt underneath over tan pants and incarnadine shoes as the other had sunny windswept tresses above stunning blue eyes who wore a cream jacket outlined by monochromatic checkers at the seams the same as the band on his left wrist and dual rings of opposing schemes that opened up over its ebon counterpart zipped up all the way via an accessory all too similar to his identity which led to sable jeans that morphed into beige and ended at black and red sneakers.

"Who are you?!" The raven demanded, immediately on guard.

"Relax, they're my comrades." Tsutaaja reassured, addressing him for them before gesturing to each respective person in the duo. "Their names are Axel and Roxas. You can trust them; I had been traveling with them for quite some time, having a multitude of adventures in many worlds including this one hence I knew you name," she glanced at Naruto, "and about the Bijuus. They had made a strong impact wherever they went."

"How come we don't know about you?" Sasuke quirked a brow.

"And how come you didn't tell us that you went here with your friends?" The Jinchūriki added, crossing his arms.

The ginger spoke up. "We'll tell you later."

"For now, we need to take care of these Heartless." The pair glanced at the mentioned, extracting their weapons simultaneously.

The ninjas were astonished. "How did you do that?!" The Uzumaki cried out. "It's as if they appeared out of thin air!"

"We just can." The elder shrugged, answering as it was obvious.

"And what are those?" The obsidian pointed at the contrasting épées the shorter employed.

"This is Oathkeeper," the questioned held up the pearl rapier bearing the symbol 'hikari', "and this is Oblivion." He lifted the obscure estoc signified by 'yami' up. "These are my Keyblades."

"Keyblade?" The Uchiha echoed.

"They're special swords only select people can wield." The utilizer clarified. "They have the ability to unlock any lock and free trapped hearts. Consequently, they are the only way to truly defeat a Heartless as regular weapons cannot release the hearts, causing them to simply respawn as more Heartless."

"How can you possess one?" The interrogator pressed.

"We'll tell you more once we're done here!" With that, the twin Chakrams closed in on the Wavecrests, the resulting combustions igniting them and instigating them to collapse. Orbs of light rained out immediately afterwards, blinding the victims as the sparks invaded their systems.

The samurai glimpsed back, staring at the bystanders. "What are you waiting for?!"

"Let's go!" The serpent leapt into battle, Power Whips extended to thrash their targets before double jade sabers enveloped her arms, slicing at the enemies rapidly.

"Yeah!" The 'echidna' morphed into a chubby rodent who was yellow all over except for the its ruddy cheek pouches, the black tips on its long, pointy lobes, the two brown stripes on its back and the chestnut of its bolt-shaped tail, enveloping the area in cackling static and Camouflaging into it before contracting his frame and unleashing a deadly bout of Thunder. "This Electric Terrain will boost all electric-type attacks!" The 'mouse' announced. "Go for it!"

"Right!" At that moment, the onyx sprang into action. "Chidori Eisō! Chidori Nagashi!" The enhanced lighting struck out from its source, completely immobilizing the intended as the spear impaled their vital points.

"Pikachu, huh?" The reptile commented as she blended in too. "Nice choice." The snake spun, manifesting an orb of cackling voltage on the tip of her frond before launching it, dealing severe damage based on their vast difference in speeds before the Nobodies took over, Thundaga raging in their wakes.

"You're not the only one with unique tools!" The whiskered addressed the other blond, shouting. "Take witness of the power of my Ryūjin!" The whiskered brought out a decorative azure dagger decked with a red string and an emerald gem welded into the center, thrusting it forward. "Fūton: Ryūjin Rasengan!" Draconic wisps gusted around the caster, surrounding him as he charged. The gales sliced at the flesh, shrill cries resonating throughout as even more agony was inflicted. A pyromanic torrent followed, the conflagration searing their hides.

"Give me strength!" Roxas dashed ahead, seemingly vanishing in the blink of an eye. Moments later, he reappeared, having passed through the miscreants in the process. The Heartless then died, a blinding radiance emitting from their carcasses as their cardiacs floated out only to vanish into the atmosphere above.

"Yoshi! We finally beat them!" Naruto cheered, delighted.

"Hn." Sasuke snickered at his companion's antics, crossing his arms.

The 'rodent' jumped for joy. "YES!"

"The first part of our job is done." The assassin grinned, glancing at his partner.

The younger exchanged the glimpse. "It's been a while for sure."

"All that's left is Hydraken." Tsutaaja declared, smirking. "It's time to end this!"
