Chapter 67: War on Bygone Fortress

(Bygone Fortress: Secret Chamber)

In the secret chamber everyone sees Ky, Noel, and Sora appearing from the light yellow beam.

"Hey, we're back." Ky said.

"Did you find the secret place?" Ry asked.

"Yes. It turned out it was a ruined world, where there were two Keyblade Paragons of Light watched over, and…" Noel started explaining everything about what they have learned about Aptus and Malus and also learned explained about three trials.

"So, Malus was sealed by Aptus?" Elena asked.

"Yeah. That's what we learned." Ky said.

"But that can't be right…" Tails said.

"What do you mean?" Sora asked.

"We're gonna have to explain later." Kiyo said.

"Okay, but first…" Ky takes out the crystallized fragment and Noel and Sora do the same.

"So, those are the shattered pieces for the item we need?" Ry asked.

"Yeah. We found them all at that ruined world in those three trials. Now, we have to restore it." Ky said.

"But how can…" Sora was cut off as the three crystallized fragments start glowing and levitate out of the trio's hands.

The crystallized fragments then start begin to collide together into one and create a bright light until later on the light dissipates and reveals what appears to be a crystallized sword.

"Gawrsh, what's that?" Goofy asked.

"This must be this item that Count Nago created." Noel said.

"This must be it! This is what we need! I got to bring this over to the others in town!" Ry said taking the crystallized sword. "I'll be back soon. Keep watch over here, in case any Black Xetis show up." Ry said.

"Sure." Ky said and Ry leaves.

"So, the item was discovered." Zuko said.

"Yes, but…wait. Weren't Fulgur and the others here? What happened?" Ky asked.

"Oh, they went over to the town to check and see how things are." Elena answered.

"They'll be back soon." Blaze said.

"I guess we should wait until Ry gets back. There weren't any trouble around, was there?" Noel asked.

"Nah. Nothin' goin' on, since that asshole Odium showed up to try and screw everythin' up." Ken said.

"I hope he doesn't comes back. We've had enough problems already between the Brotherhood and the Organization." Ky said.

While the group are waiting around in the secret chamber Ky had a question in mind.

"So, what'd you mean about Malus being sealed couldn't be right?" Ky asked.

"Well…you remember back at Tower of Remembrance, after we defeated Faust?" Bentley asked.

"Yeah. Noel, you guys, and I kicked his sorry ass, and we freed Ami from him." Ky said.

"Well, after your fight with Faust, something…happened." Max said.

"What?" Ky asked.

"Ky, what happened to us was that…our hearts were shattered and so were our memories…" Noel said.

"You knew about it?" Ky asked.

"Well, I heard what happened after I was recovered first before you, but I didn't know who did it to us." Noel said.

"The one responsible for what happened was Malus." A voice said and the group see Fulgur, Oswald, Sonic, Peach, and Mario.

"There you guys are! Wait…did you just Malus?" Ky asked.

"Yes." Peach answered.

"But how was this possible? I thought Aptus sealed him! We learned it while we were in that ruined world." Ky said.

"That's what I heard. Aptus sealed his own brother, because of Malus' desire to try and bring darkness to everything with Kingdom Hearts." Sora said.

"You haven't heard the whole story. Yes, Malus was sealed, but his body was sealed." Oswald said.

"Just his body? But how…" Noel was cut off.

"Because Malus cast a spell to separate his heart and his soul from his body before it was sealed." Fulgur said.

"What?!" Ky, Noel, and Sora asked shocked.

"And because his spiritual form and his heart were separated from his body, Malus had to bide his time for a vessel that contained pure darkness in one's heart." Fulgur said.

"And did that happen?" Ky asked.

"It did." Fulgur said.

"Why didn't that white cloaked figure tell us that before?" Sora asked.

"Because there was no way how you would handle the information." Peach said.

"Well, what happened after Malus got a body?" Ky asked.

"This is shocking to you, Ky. You remember Zervik, right?" Fulgur said.

"You're damn right I remember him! He was our enemy, who tried to take over the worlds! My friends and I had to stop him." Ky said.

"Well, the Zervik you fought was never someone named Zervik." Oswald said.

"Huh?" Ky asked.

"What you and your friends fought was actually a Heartless of Malus, who possessed Zervik's body, and used his name." Fulgur said.

"WHAT?!" Ky asked shocked. "You mean, I had to go through this trouble to defeat a fake?!" Ky asked.

"Yeah. You fought someone, who was a brother to me and possessed by Malus." Fulgur said.

"Did you guys know this too?" Ky asked his friends.

"We learned it after your and Noel's hearts were shattered. We encountered a masked man, who said his name was Malus, and said that Zervik's body was used just so he could gain a physical body." Elena said.

"I don't believe it… And lemme guess, because Malus became a Heartless, he has a Nobody." Ky said.

"That's right." Sonic said.

"And his Nobody is part of Organization XIII." Oswald said.

"So, all this time this Zervik…Malus' Heartless was using Rixla…" Noel said.

"Pretty much, but then again, it's unlikely for a Nobody to be a servant of a Heartless." Fulgur said.

"What?" Noel asked.

"Hold up! Did you just say Nobody?!" Ken asked.

"By Nobody as in Rixla, then yes." Peach said.

"Rixla is a…" Noel stops talking.

"Yes. Your sister was a Nobody." Peach said and Mario nods.

"No…" Noel said.

"Noel, your sister's name was Aril, who was the eldest daughter of Nago and Rachel, but ever since Faust's take over, and his twisted means of trying to get to Kingdom Hearts, Faust cast a spell to remove Aril's heart and therefore, her Nobody was created." Peach explained.

"And to make things more dire, she was also part of Organization XIII, until she left and that was when she became the mastermind behind the Fearmongers." Fulgur said.

"No way… My own sister…" Noel said with tears from her eyes.

"I can't believe what we just learned! I fought a Heartless of someone, who used someone's body like a puppet! And Noel fought a Nobody of her sister! Malus was behind the whole damn thing, just like that Xehanort asshole!" Ky said clenching his fist.

"We're sorry for not telling you about Malus, Ky…" Elena said.

"I don't care about that! That asshole Malus cheated his own fate, just to screw with other people's lives for his own amusement! Because of him, Pax and Nex…" Ky stops talking. "That reminds me. Pax! Is he still alive?!" Ky asked.

"I can't say it…" Fulgur said.

"What do you mean you can't say it?! He's your damn student! You gotta know!" Ky yelled.

"Ky, calm down. It's best you don't know yet." Oswald said.

"You're a crappy master, Fulgur!" Ky said.

"I'm sorry, Ky…" Fulgur said.

"Whatever. Guys, we gotta figure out how to save Griff and Kairi, and find Nex, Pax, and Riku." Ky said.

"Yeah. I have a feeling someone's gonna try and make things worse." Sora said.

Just then a quake occurs.

(Battle Theme: Nightmarish Hell)

"Outside!" T.J. said.

"Oh, no! Something terrible is happening!" Peach said.

"Let's dash!" Sonic said as the five leave the chamber.

"C'mon!" Ky said.

The group leave the secret chamber.

(Bygone Fortress: Nago's Chamber)

The group return to Nago's chamber and make their way to find the five and they leave.

Outside the castle in the castle town a swarm of Dark Knight Black Xetis make their way into the castle.

(Bygone Fortress: Hallways)

The group are at the hallway and they see many Dark Knight Black Xetis fighting against Horror Haviks and Bowser Jr., the Koopalings, Eggman, the Deadly Six, and Masked Man are watching.

"You stupid Black Xetis! Destroy those annoying demons! I WANT THEM AL DESTROYED!" Bowser Jr. shouted.

"Our chances of defeating them appear to be fifty-fifty, but they're appearing stronger than the Black Xetis." Masked Man said.

"Argh! We'd best retreat to our base and plan a new tactic!" Eggman said.

"I agree." Ludwig said.

"Fine!" Bowser Jr. said but he then sees the group. "Black Xetis, forget the demons! Get rid of Ky, Noel, and Sora!" Bowser Jr. ordered as he, the Koopalings, Eggman, the Deadly Six, and Masked Man leave and the Dark Knight Black Xetis and the Horror Haviks go for the group.

"Oh, no!" Lucas said.

"This again!" Donald said.

"You know what to do!" Ky said.

(Information: Defeat the Black Xetis and the Haviks!)

"Those assholes got away from the castle!" Ken said.

"Forget them! We gotta find Ry and the others and make sure if they're safe!" Ky said.

"Right… I hope they're okay." Noel said.

"Then, let's hurry and go find them." Sly said and the group leave the hallway.

(Bygone Fortress: Ruined Entrance)

The group arrive back at the outside of the castle and make their way to find Ry and the others but then Horror Haviks appear.

"Move it!" Ky yelled as he slashes at the Horror Haviks with Dawn of Hope but more appear.

"Piss off, assholes!" Ken yelled.

Before the Horror Haviks could attack something attacks and destroys the Horror Haviks and in front of the group is what appears to be a man with dark skin, wearing a white robe, has a gold left eye, and is carrying a giant scythe.

"Who are you?" Sora asked.

"Tell me, did you find what you were looking for at this castle?" The dark skinned man asked.

"What business is that of yours?" Ky asked as he throws Dawn of Hope at the dark skinned man who effortlessly dodges the throwing Keyblade and then delivers a huge swing with is scythe at Ky knocking him back.

"Ky!" Elena cried.

"What you have found is a mistake from Nago's past. The world would no longer need it." The dark skinned man said.

"What the hell do YOU know about it?" Ky asked.

"Hmph. Instead of worrying about what I know, you should focus on helping your friends, who are suffering greatly." The dark skinned man said as he walks away and then sinks into the shadows.

"Just who was he?" Goofy asked.

"Forget him. He does have a point. We should focus on helping Ry." Shadow said.

"Shadow's right. Let's get going." Zatch said.

The group make their way through the ruined castle entrance and leave.

(Bygone Fortress: Castle Town)

The group return to the castle town and they find Ry, Noah, Rex, Ruby, Weiss, Blake, Yang, and Elliot fighting against the Black Xetis.

"Hey! We're gonna help you!" Ky said.

"Thanks, but look out!" Noah said pointing upward.

The group look up and see Dragon Black Xetis flying toward the group who prepare to fight.

(Information: Defeat the Black Xetis!)

The Dragon Black Xetis breathe black fire at the group but Ky casts Water to get rid of the black flames and wash back the Black Xetis but the Dragon Black Xetis attack Ky with their claws but Noel aerial slashes with Radiant Salvation followed by an aerial flip slash while Sora casts Thunder and then casts Gravity but the Dragon Black Xetis fly around the air and attack with their tails but Elena shoots magic concussive blasts followed by casting Blizzard while Donald casts Earth but the Dragon Black Xetis breathe black flames but Max blocks with his shield and then uses Shield Charge while Goofy uses Goofy Tornado but the Dragon Black Xetis whip with their tails but Ken bashes with his guitar while T.J. slashes with his knife but the Dragon Black Xetis attack with their claws but Kiyo has Zatch use Zakeruga while Zuko slashes with flame daggers but the Dragon Black Xetis fly in the air and try to air dive but Tails delivers a flying kick while Bentley uses his RC Chopper to shoot missiles but the Dragon Black Xetis shoot black fireballs but Blaze manipulates the fireballs and sends them back while Murray uses Thunder Flop but the Dragon Black Xetis attack with their claws but Storm uses Iron Tail while Grace uses Bite but the Dragon Black Xetis tail whip but Lucky uses Egg Roll while Lucas uses PK Thunder but the Dragon Black Xetis whip with their tails but Shadow throws Chaos Arrows while Sly uses Cane Spin and the group finish off the Black Xetis.

After the battle against the Black Xetis the group see Ry making his way through the castle town.

"Everyone is hurrying for the outskirts! That's where the Black Xetis are coming from. Our enemies are sending them to try and kill us and destroy this place! You should meet us there!" Ry said.

"No prob!" Ky said.

"We'll be there as soon as possible!" Noel said.

"There's no more time left to lose! We'd better hurry and get to the outskirts before things get even more worse than expected." Tails said.

"Let's get goin' and hurry!" Donald said and everyone nods.

The group make their way through the castle town and they later leave for the next area.

(Bygone Fortress: Courtyard Glade)

The group are at the courtyard and they start making their way for Ry and the others to help them and later find the stone gate and leave the courtyard.

(Bygone Fortress: Residential District)

The group return to the Residential District and they find what looks like another gate and it's a bigger one and so they go for the big gate and go for the next area.

(Bygone Fortress: Outskirts)

The group arrive at the outskirts of the city of Bygone Fortress and while looking around for Ry and the others they see a swarm of Dark Knight Black Xetis and as the group prepare to attack Fulgur, Oswald, Sonic, Peach, and Mario show up and Fulgur slashes with Sky's Volt while Oswald slashes with his sword followed by bashing with his shield while Sonic delivers fast slashes with Super Sonic while Peach slashes her Keyblade known as Royal Storm while Mario shoots fireballs and they defeat the Black Xetis.

"You guys okay?" Fulgur asked.

"We're fine. Thanks." Ky said.

"Did you see Ry and the others?" Zuko asked.

"They're already heading for the evil castle up ahead through this outskirt and a canyon." Peach answered.

"We'd better head on over there, before things get worse. The Black Xetis are swarming like bugs, and everyone's fighting as hard as they can right now." Oswald said.

"Then we're not staying behind, and let our friends do the fighting on their own!" Sora said.

"Our thoughts exactly. Let's hurry, and let's not delay." Fulgur said and everyone nods.

The group make their way through the outskirts to find the others to help them and they later come across a bridge and they cross the bridge and later reach a different area which is what looks like a cliff and the group look down from the cliff to see what's going on and they're shocked.

"Damn…!" Ky said.

"This is… No…" Noel said.

"This is worse than I thought." Peach said.

At a different area that looks like a deserted canyon swarms of Dark Knight Black Xetis are storming through the canyon and making their way for the city of Bygone Fortress and watching from above are Ry, Tsubaki, May, Noah and Rex, Ruby, Weiss, Blake, and Yang, Elliot, the young man from before known as Kilik who is carrying a red staff, and the same woman known as Ivy who is carrying a sword.

"There they are. They're coming for the city. Those bastards are seeking to destroy what we're trying to rebuild!" Ry said.

"This cannot stand! Too long, this world has suffered because of the Black Xetis, the Heartless, Faust, and the Fearmongers! This world will NOT fall to anything of the dark any further! We must honor Count Nago!" Tsubaki said.

"There's just so many of them." May said.

"I don't care how many these creeps are! Rex and I can take 'em!" Noah said and Rex barks in agreement.

"Girls. If we're able to take on the Grimm, then there's no doubt we can take on the Black Xetis!" Ruby said.

"I'm not gonna let a bunch of brainless monsters to beat me so easily!" Weiss said.

"I'm ready for anything." Blake said.

"There's no turning back now. The war's started, now we gotta be sure to finish it!" Yang said.

"These abominations will meet their demise at my hands and my weapons." Elliot said.

"My soul is now raging with strength. I must focus and remember my training." Kilik said.

"Hmph! This will be first and last time I'll help you! This is just a common goal." Ivy said.

"They're getting close! Get ready! No holds barred! For Nago's world!" Ry said.

"Agreed! Let's settle this once and for all!" Tsubaki said.

As the swarm of the Dark Knight Black Xetis continue to storm through the deserted canyon Ry and the others confront the Black Xetis and prepare to fight.

"Everyone…FIGHT!" Ry shouted as he and the others charge at the Black Xetis and the Dark Knight Black Xetis do the same.

The Dark Knight Black Xetis attack at Tsubaki who dodges and slashes with her fans and then delivers a flurry of kicks striking some of the Dark Knight Black Xetis but one Black Xeti gets behind Tsubaki and tries to slash with its sword but Tsubaki flips to dodge and delivers a flipping slash with her fan to strike but then Tsubaki starts to kneel down due to her exhaustion and is surrounded by Dark Knight Black Xetis but then May comes and heals Tsubaki who nods to May as thanks and Tsubaki spin slashes with her fans to destroy the Black Xetis and the two girls go for the rest of the Black Xetis.

Noah starts striking at the Dark Knight Black Xetis with his own nunchuku but the Dark Knight Black Xetis try to slash with their swords at Noah who moves out of the way and delivers a triple kick followed by a nunchuku strike and then delivers a spinning strike but a Dark Knight Black Xeti delivers a powerful kick in Noah's stomach knocking him back but Noah skids to stop the knockback but three Dark Knight Black Xetis unleash slash streaks at Noah but then Rex comes and gets him out of harm's way and Rex starts striking at the Black Xetis and Noah and Rex work together to strike and destroy the other Black Xetis.

Ruby is fighting a group of Dark Knight Black Xetis who slash with their swords but Ruby slashes with her scythe known as Crimson Rose but the Dark Knight Black Xetis swing their swords at Ruby who uses her speed to dodge fast and strike back with speed with her scythe but a Dark Knight Black Xeti sends out a dark slash streak but Ruby transforms her scythe into a sniper rifle and fires shots at the Black Xetis but more Dark Knight Black Xetis attempt to strike but Weiss shows up and strikes with her Dust revolver and rapier known as Myrtenaster but the Dark Knight Black Xetis try to strike at Weiss who uses her sheathe to use a dial like silver encasement above the bottom of her rapier and the Dust crystals have given her rapier power and strike the Black Xetis but more Dark Knight Black Xetis appear to strike but Blake arrives and strikes with her Gambol Shroud and uses her blade and sheath combined to attack the Black Xetis who try to strike back at Blake but Blake creates a clone of herself to have the Black Xetis attack the clone and Blake strikes back but more Black Xetis attempt to attack but Yang strikes with her two shotgun gauntlets known as Ember Celica but the Dark Knight Black Xetis slam their swords at Yang to strike but Yang uses her recoil-based system and her injury is giving her strength and strikes with her shotgun gauntlet but more Dark Knight Black Xetis surround the girls but they keep fighting.

Elliot is fighting a group of Dark Knight Black Xetis with his cane sword but the Dark Knight Black Xetis attempt to swing their swords but Elliot detaches vulture head of the top half of the cane revealing the sword and a sickle extends on the bottom half of the cane and starts striking with his sword and the sickle but another group of Dark Knight Black Xetis unleash dark slash streaks but Elliot throws knives to keep the Black Xetis busy and then uses his revolver to shoot at the Black Xetis destroying them but more Black Xetis try to attack with their swords but Elliot uses his gauntlet to slash with a hidden blade striking at the Black Xetis and then fires a dart launcher to shoot darts at the Black Xetis to cause hallucinations and then delivers strikes with his cane sword but more Black Xetis keep attacking but Elliot continues to fight.

Kilik is fighting the Dark Knight Black Xetis with his rod known as Kali-Yuga and is using his range to keep the Black Xetis back but a Dark Knight Black Xeti tries to slash with its sword but Kilik blocks the attack and then delivers a multi stab with his staff and then delivers a multi sweeping attack with his staff but a group of Dark Knight Black Xetis deliver powerful kicks but Kilik swings his staff twice and then delivers a slam attack with his staff destroying the Dark Knight Black Xetis but more Black Xetis slash with their swords but Kilik dodges and delivers an impaling strike with his staff and keeps on fighting the Black Xetis.

Ivy is fighting a group of Dark Knight Black Xetis with her sword known as Valentine and is destroying some of the Black Xetis but two Black Xetis unleash dark slash streaks but Ivy makes her sword into a whip state and sends her whip to strike at the Black Xetis and destroy then but a Dark Knight Black Xeti tries to attack but Ivy grabs the Black Xeti with her snake sword and sends it to the ground and then delivers an extending strike but more Dark Knight Black Xetis try to slam attack with their swords but Ivy unleashes pieces of her snake sword and then traps the Black Xetis into a mystical energy orb and sends the pieces to strike and destroy the Black Xetis and her sword returns to its normal state but is now surrounded by another group of Black Xetis but Ivy smirks and continues to battle against the Black Xetis.

While the fighting is happening Bowser Jr., the Koopalings, Eggman, Porky, Masked Man, and the Deadly Six are watching the fighting.

"Look at those idiots wasting their energy on our Black Xeti army! The more they defeat, the more will keep coming." Bowser Jr. said.

"This is just what we want! Let them end their miserable lives, and then the item they have will be OURS!" Eggman said.

"It's only a *cough* *cough* matter of time before they get snuffed out!" Porky said.

"That won't happen!" A voice said and the villains turn to see Ry confronting them and with him is the crystal sword.

"You! How did you get past them?" Zavok asked.

"Do you need to ask? Your Black Xetis are nothing more than just brainless monsters from the darkness." Ry said.

"You underestimate their value! They listen to us! You need a demonstration?" Ludwig asked as he sends Zombie Black Xetis to attack but Ry destroys them with his nunchuku.

"You're not taken over this world!" Ry said.

"You think this world *wheeze* *wheeze* can be just like how it was before Master Nightmare was its ruler? You are dead wrong! Actually, just plain DEAD!" Porky said.

"You can try and kill me." Ry said.

"Oh, we will! We'll kill you and take that sword from your cold dead hand!" Eggman said.

"Bring it, assholes!" Ry said as he charges at the villains.

Meanwhile the group are watching the fight happening.

"Ry, everyone…" Noel said.

"They're fighting hard out there! We need to do something!" Murray said.

"Damn straight!" Ken said.

"Let's hurry then! If they fall, then no one else will be able to defend this world." Peach said.

"See ya guys over at the battlefield!" Sonic said as he takes off his black cloak and dashes off.

"Sonic, no!" Peach said as she takes off her black cloak and Mario does the same thing and they both run after.

"Oswald!" Fulgur said.

"Yeah!" Oswald said.

Fulgur and Oswald take off their black cloaks and they run off to the battlefield.

"Guys!" Ky said and everyone nods and they go after the five to go help Ry and the others to fight the Black Xetis.


Meanwhile at the castle of Count Nago at Nago's chamber someone enters the chamber and it's a group of three people which are Vergil, the robot, and Nex who are searching the chamber for something.

"Tinman, are you sure someone was here in this rotten castle?" Nex asked.

"Affirmative. The targets you are after were already in the castle, but now have left." The robot said.

"Hmph. How truly sad. We came all this way, and there is nothing here. This place is just as worthless, as it was after the Fearmongers' fall." Vergil said.

While searching around Nex finds what a hole on a wall.

"What the hell?" Nex asked as he goes for the hole and Vergil and the robot follow him and later on they arrive at the secret chamber. "A different chamber in the castle? What was the first count's intentions?" Nex asked.

"Count Nago has created an artifact that would help bring order to this world, and protect it from his enemies. He has also prepared a way to gain access to a different world in case someone would usurp his rule, and his life would end. He has cast a spell that a daughter, who is not corrupted by evil would only gain access to that world, as he has shattered his creation, and scattered the pieces away." The robot explained.

"So, in other words, there's nothing to do here either. What a bunch of crap!" Nex said and he sees the light yellow beam. "This must be the way into that world, but we can't go in? Bullcrap. I doubt there's anything worth in that place. This is a waste of our time. What I'm looking for is not here." Nex said as he leaves the chamber.

Nex, Vergil, and the robot leave Nago's ruined castle and go through the castle town.

"The bastards I need to find have to be in this damn world! I won't stop until I find what I want!" Nex said.

"Whatever the case, there shouldn't be any doubt that they're here." Vergil said.

"Tinman, scan for the bastards! I want to know where they are!" Nex said.

"Affirmative." The robot said as it starts scanning around and an alarm starts to go off. "Targets confirmed. They are at the deserted canyon outside the city." The robot said.

"Outside the city? This is just my lucky day. If they are here, like you say, then this will make my mission easier. Let's go, Devil boy, Rustbucket!" Nex said.

"Affirmative!" The robot said.

"Fine by me." Vergil said.

Nex, Vergil, and the robot go through the castle town and then go through the courtyard and they later arrive at the Residential District and starts finding the deserted canyon outside the city but then they see Dark Knight Black Xetis coming to attack but Nex unleashes Death's Embrace and delivers a brutal slash with his dark Keyblades and then unleashes a shadow hand and crushes the Black Xetis destroying them.

"Black Xeti scum! The Haviks, the Black Xetis, the Heartless, those Nobodies. All of 'em piss me off to no end! We'll have to run into them soon, but who gives a crap? Let's just hurry, and find those dumbasses, and eradicate them!" Nex said.

"You're the boss." Vergil said.

"Affirmative." The robot said.

The three go through the city and then make their way for the outskirts of Bygone Fortress.


Meanwhile at Nago's chamber a hooded black cloaked figure makes his way for the secret chamber and as he arrives he finds what looks like a switch on a wall and then presses the switch which causes a wall to open up revealing what looks like a flight of stairs and so the hooded black cloaked figure starts climbing up the stairs.

"The worlds have no meaning. Everything in the universe is worthless. The inhabitants of every world are living in their false 'happiness'. Everything will change soon enough, once my plan comes to fruition." The hooded black cloaked figure said in his mind and it's a dark and deep male voice.

Later on the hooded black cloaked figure reaches the end of the stairs and finds a door and then opens the door revealing to be what looks like a giant silver room and then the hooded black cloaked figure finds what looks like a red and orange Keyblade on the ground.

"Ah, the Keyblade of my 'friend'. How long has it been." The dark and deep male hooded black cloaked figure said as he tries to lift the Keyblade but nothing is rising. "Hmph. Just as I thought. If his Keyblade is here, then where could the wielder's body be? There's no way he'd die like this? Whatever the case, he is nothing but a memory now." The dark and deep male hooded black cloaked figure said as he leaves the silver room.
