Chapter 69: Truth of the Brotherhood
(Bygone Fortress: Massive Canyon)
Noel, Sora, Donald, Goofy, Elena, Ken, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Zuko, Sly, Bentley, Murray, and Lucas make their way to help their five friends fight against the band of villains while fighting off Black Xetis in their way and they later arrive to where the five friends are and confront the villains.
"Fulgur!" Sora called.
"You made it." Fulgur said.
"Good, but where's Ky?" Oswald asked.
"He left for something." Zatch answered.
"So, you idiots fought off our army? No fair! We were supposed to WIN for once!" Bowser Jr. said.
"Evil never wins, Bowser Jr.! You should know that by now." Elena said.
"Oh, is that correct?" Zavok said holding an injured Ry.
"Ry!" Noel said.
"Dammit, you! Let him go!" Ken yelled.
"Of course. We have what we want anyway." Eggman said holding the crystal sword.
"No…!" Peach said shocked.
"That crystal sword! Give it back!" Sora yelled.
"Why? So you can put an end to our attempt of bringing this world to darkness again?" Wendy asked.
"We deserve an evil fortress, and since Divine Kingdom is being rebuilt by those losers, we figured this world is just too perfect, as it's yet to be restored to its normal state." Ludwig said.
"In the wrong hands, that's your purpose, but in the right ones, this world could be restored." Zuko said.
"Which is why we are never letting that happen." Master Zik said.
"I've heard enough!" Sora yelled as he charges at the villains but Masked Man blocks the attack with his sword.
"Think again." Masked Man said.
"Stop it!" Lucas cried.
"Since we finally got what we need, this *cough* *wheeze* world will belong to darkness once more. Deal with them, my robot." Porky ordered as the band of villains leave.
"Yes, Master Porky." Masked Man said.
"Dammit!" Ken yelled.
"We have to go after them!" Sonic said as he dashes off.
"Sonic, wait!" Tails called but Sonic is gone.
"I really hate his impatience." Fulgur said as he, Oswald, Peach, and Mario leave.
"Guess we'll stay behind, and deal with Masked Man." Sly said.
"I don't want this…" Lucas said.
"We have no choice, Lucas." Donald said.
"I agree. We'll have to fight him." Noel said.
"Prepare to meet your end." Masked Man said.
(Boss Theme: The Encounter)
(Information: Fight off Masked Man!)
Masked Man fires shots from his arm cannon at the group who dodge and Noel vertical slashes with Radiant Salvation followed by casting Earth while Sora triple slashes with Kingdom Key and then casts Blizzard but Masked Man raises his sword and unleashes lightning down at the group but Elena casts a barrier around the group and then shoots magic concussive blasts while Donald casts Fire but Masked Man slashes at the group with his sword but Zuko blocks with his broadswords and then delivers a flame kick while T.J. triple slashes with his knife but Masked Man retaliates with shooting shots from his arm cannon but Goofy blocks the shots with his shield and then uses Goofy Bash while Max uses Shield Charge but Masked Man delivers a flurry of slashes from his sword followed by a somersault slash and then unleashes lightning at the group but Ken bashes with his guitar while Kiyo has Zatch use Zaker but Masked Man triple slashes with his sword followed by a wide slash but Lucky uses Egg Roll while Sly uses Cane Spin but Masked Man unleashes two lightning strikes down at the group but Storm calls down lightning while Grace uses Bite but Masked Man shoots three shots from his arm cannon but Tails shoots lasers from his blaster while Bentley throws electric darts but Masked Man delivers more flurries of slashes with his sword followed by a somersault slash and then unleashes lightning strikes but Murray uses Tornado Punch while Blaze uses Fire Tornado but Masked Man fires four shots from his arm cannon and then slashes with his sword but Shadow throws Chaos Lances while Lucas uses PK Love and strikes at Masked Man.
After enough attacks Masked Man is pushed back and just then his masked helmet starts to crack and breaks apart and fall off revealing Masked Man's face shocking not only the group but also Lucas as Masked Man appears to be a boy that looks just like Lucas but his hair is reddish-brown and his face has an emotionless expression.
"His face… He looks just like…" Sora stops talking.
"Lucas…" Noel said.
"Y-You…! You're…C-Claus!" Lucas said.
"Huh?!" Everyone asked shocked.
"His brother." The boy named Claus said. "I was separated from him, and nearly died, that is until Master Porky and Bowser Jr. have saved me from death." Claus said.
"But why serve them?! They're the enemies, not us! Not me." Lucas said.
"I was saved by them. I don't need you anymore, Lucas." Claus said as he charges his arm cannon and aims at Lucas but then aims for Noel. "I think your new sister figure should be killed off first." Claus said as he fires his charge shot.
"No!" Lucas yelled as he sends the charged shot back at Claus who manages to dodge the attack ad is on a higher part of the canyon.
"So, you choose them over your own brother? Well, as far as I'm concerned, we're not brothers! I'm embarrassed to be around a crybaby like you." Claus said as he leaves.
"Wait! Claus!" Lucas said but Claus is gone.
"Man, what an asshole! He just abandoned his own brother!" Ken said.
"I'm sorry, Lucas…" Noel said.
"No. Porky brainwashed him to be like this! I want to save him, but first, we should stop them from using the crystal sword to bring darkness to this world." Lucas said.
"If that's what you want." Sora said.
"Please hurry." Ry said. "I tried to stop them, but they were strong." Ry said coughing and struggling to get up.
"Don't worry, Ry. We'll make sure this world becomes better than before." Noel said.
"Let's go." Sora said.
"What about Ky?" Elena asked.
"I'm sure we'll find him along the way." Tails said.
"That sounds good to me. Let's hurry." Max said as the group start to move.
Meanwhile at the next part of the canyon Ky and Nex are having their battle but Nex is firing Dark Fires at Ky who dodges them but Nex unleashes his shadow hands and they deliver punches and strike at Ky sending him back.
"Hmph. What happened, Ky? You used to put up a fight, despite your weakness. Now, you're nothing more than a pathetic coward, who is still blinded by light." Nex said.
"Ugh…! I can't fight like this…! I'm this close…" Ky said but then Nex steps his foot on Ky's back sending him to the ground more.
"You're worthless, as I thought. You shouldn't have gone after me. You should have forgotten about me." Nex said.
"Why…is he…doing this to me…?" Ky asked to himself.
"Ky!" A voice cried.
"What?" Nex asked as Noel, Sora, and everyone else arrive.
"Hey! Whaddya think you're doing to Ky?!" Sora demanded.
"Nex?! So, it IS him." Elena said.
"Ky's pathetic sidekicks, and the pink-haired trash again." Nex said.
"Why are you tormenting Ky?" Noel asked.
"Not your concern. Piss off." Nex said.
"I don't think so!" T.J. said and Elena shoots a magic shot at Nex who backs off.
"This is getting annoying. Let's go." Nex said as he, Vergil, and Omega leave.
"Nex, wait!" Ky said as he runs after Nex.
"Ky!" Murray called.
"C'mon!" Sora said.
Ky goes after Nex and later arrives at a different place.
(Bygone Fortress: Villain's Fortress)
Ky arrives at an area that has the evil castle with the Black Xeti symbol on it and he looks around for Nex and later on Noel, Sora, and the others arrive.
"Ky!" Sora said.
"Guys, where's Nex?" Ky asked.
"I dunno. I thought you were with him. He was hurting you." Kiyo said.
"I don't care about that! I just wanna see him again." Ky said.
"Didn't you already have that?" A voice said and the group look up to see Nex on a higher part of the area and Vergil and Omega are still with him. "Your obsession with me is really starting to get unhealthy for you and at the same time starting to annoy me." Nex said.
"Nex! Come back to my side! We can find Pax and save Griff together! It's not too late!" Ky said.
"Foolish to the end, I see. You already have a band of circus idiots, and even have the trash with you. You also seem to have a spiky-haired dimwit to take care of you." Nex said.
"What's that supposed to mean?!" Sora demanded.
"Sora's simple, but not that stupid!" Donald said.
"Hey!" Sora yelled.
"Targets to be Keyblade wielders confirmed. Ky, Noel, and Sora." Omega said.
"Wait…Omega?!" Shadow asked.
"Omega's here?!" Tails asked.
"Shadow the Hedgehog in the vicinity, but is among the enemy side. No longer allies." Omega said.
"Hmph. That's what I like to hear, Rustbucket. You know your place." Nex said.
"Should we just kill them all already? They lack power to defeat us." Vergil said.
"No. I think I'll continue making Ky suffer a little longer." Nex said as he takes off his crimson and black cloak and reveals that Nex is now wearing a sleeveless and hooded black vest that's torn and opened revealing his pale bare chest that has a red blood like mark on his chest, black pants with crimson chains on both sides, black boots, black bandages on both arms, and still wearing his black crystal skull necklace. "You two keep those idiots away from us. I want this to be interesting." Nex said as he uses shadows to transport himself to Ky's level and is now behind Ky.
"What the…?" Ky asked.
"That last fight, when we fought…to be honest, I let you live, because I wanted to. Now, I'll have the desire to do what I should've done a year ago!" Nex said as he summons Death's Embrace and prepares to slash at Ky.
Before Nex could slash at Ky something blocks the attack and it's Sora with Kingdom Key.
"Stop it! Aren't you supposed to be Ky's friend?! Why're you treating him like dirt?" Sora asked.
"This doesn't concern you, idiot!" Nex said as he delivers a kick at Sora and sends him back.
"Sora!" Goofy said.
"You two, keep 'em from interfering." Nex said and Vergil and Omega do so. "And to make sure…" Nex casts a dark spell to unleash a dark barrier in between the group and Ky and Nex. "You ready to die today, idiot? I won't guarantee your life." Nex said.
"Let's just get this over with! I WILL have you back!" Ky said summoning Dawn of Hope.
"Ky…" Elena said.
"Please be careful…" Noel said.
"I hate not doing anything!" Sora said.
"Deal with it, human." Vergil said.
"Why are you siding with Nex, Omega?" Shadow asked.
"That is of no concern of yours, Shadow. Do not interfere or perish." Omega said.
"I hope Ky will be okay." Lucas said.
"Me too." T.J. said.
"He'll be fine. He managed against Nex before, and I'm sure he will again." Max said.
Meanwhile in the villains' castle Bowser Jr., the Koopalings, Porky, Eggman, and the Deadly Six have the crystal sword and make their way down to an underground area.
"With this crystal sword, everything in the world will be OURS! Nothing can stop us!" Bowser Jr. said.
"Except THIS!" A voice shouted as a blue ball comes to the underground and strikes at the villains and it's Sonic.
"You again?! You'll pay for your insolence, you miserable rodent!" Eggman yelled.
"We'll see, Egghead!" Sonic said.
"Seriously, Sonic, quit running off without us!" Fulgur said as he joins Sonic and same for Oswald, Peach, and Mario.
"I can't help it if I'm fast." Sonic said.
"We know how this will end. Just hand over the crystal sword.
"Not a chance!" Lemmy said.
"You'll have to defeat us first." Zazz said.
"I think that could be arranged." A voice said and it's a Brotherhood member.
"A member of Brotherhood of Disharmony!" Fulgur said.
"Bring me the crystal sword, and I promise no harm will come to you." The Brotherhood member said and it's the calm and calculating Brotherhood member.
"No harm?! You and your members bring nothing but pain and chaos anyway!" Oswald said.
"I don't care what you say! This is OURS!" Bowser Jr. yelled as he summons Zombie Black Xetis.
"Foolishness." The calm and calculating Brotherhood member said as he unleashes Horror Haviks and they destroy the Zombie Black Xetis. "Now, the sword." The calm and calculating Brotherhood member said.
"I said NO!" Bowser Jr. said yelled.
"Then your demise is assured." The calm and calculating Brotherhood member said as he sends his Horror Haviks at the villains.
"Hey! Not cool!" Sonic yelled.
"You'd dare question what I do? Then prepare for your demise." The calm and calculating Brotherhood member said.
Meanwhile back outside Ky and Nex stare at each other and prepare to fight.
(Boss Theme: Memory of Sorrow-Ky vs. Nex)
"This time, this time I will drown you into the shadows that you will never be able to escape from it!" Nex said.
"I won't lose to you, but I also don't wanna defeat you, Nex. I'll make you come back to me." Ky said as he charges at Nex who also charges at Ky.
Ky and Nex clash their Keyblades together and stare down at each other but Nex delivers a headbutt at Ky and sends him back but Ky skids to stop and casts Thunder at Nex who unleashes a shadow barrier around him to defend himself and unleashes a shadow drill from under Ky who jumps away from the shadow drill and tries to slash with Dawn of Hope but Nex blocks the attack and then delivers a brutal punch at Ky and knocks him into the air and then Nex chases after Ky in the air and delivers an aerial brutal slash with Death's Embrace and then delivers an aerial vertical slash and sends Ky back to the ground but Ky recovers and delivers an upper slash with Dawn of Hope at Nex followed by a triple aerial slash with the Keyblade and casts Water to strike and sends Nex back but Nex sinks into the shadows and goes for Ky and then unleashes shadow spikes from the ground but Ky dodges the shadow spikes but Nex rises from the shadows and delivers a brutal roundhouse kick at Ky's right hip and knocks him away but Ky recovers himself and delivers a slide kick and then delivers a lower horizontal slash with Dawn of Hope but Nex disappears in dark mist and then reappears behind Ky and delivers a brutal swing with Death's Embrace on Ky's back knocking him down.
"Why do you insist on fighting, knowing you will lose, and you will die?" Nex asked.
"I won't lose! I'm sure as hell am not gonna die! I will defend my friends, and I WILL save you!" Ky said.
"Save? Have you lost your mind twice, Ky? You are completely delusional. It's time to end it." Nex said as he unleashes shadow blades and sends them at Ky.
(Reaction Command: Blade Reflect)
Ky casts Reflect to send the shadow blades back at Nex who fuses all of the shadow blades and forms them into one shadow blade and sends it at Ky who dodges.
"Damn, he's gotten more brutal than ever. I need to be careful." Ky said.
Nex casts Dark Thunder down at Ky who moves out of the way and casts Blizzard but Nex casts Dark Fire to get rid of the ice shards and then delivers two vertical slashes with Death's Embrace followed by a brutal vertical slash sending Ky to the ground but Ky gets back up and double horizontal slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by a roundhouse slash but Nex counters and delivers a brutal slash swing with Death's Embrace and then unleashes shadow tentacles to try and grab Ky who slashes at the shadow tentacles and then delivers two diagonal slashes with Dawn of Hope but Nex sidesteps and then grabs Ky by his hood and throws Ky to a rocky wall but Ky stops, lands on the rocky wall, and then launches himself and delivers a side slash at Nex who unleashes a giant shadow hand and grabs Ky who casts Fire to strike at Nex to break free and then delivers a diving slash but Nex sinks into the shadows and then rises from the shadows and delivers an upper kick and sends Ky into the air and then delivers aerial slashes with Death's Embrace but Ky aerial slashes back with Dawn of Hope and the two clash with their Keyblades in the air and neither of them are giving each other an inch and keep clashing until they exchange strikes with their Keyblades and strike at each other sending each other back from them but Ky lands on the ground while Nex lands on a rocky wall and Nex casts Dark Blizzard to go for Ky who dodges and casts Water to get Nex off the rocky wall.
Ky goes for Nex who delivers a punch to send Ky back but Ky recovers himself and casts Earth to strike at Nex who sinks into shadows and goes for Ky and then unleashes shadow drills to get Ky from underneath but Ky lands on a tip of a shadow drill and searches for Nex who appears behind Ky and attempts to deliver a slash with Death's Embrace but Ky blocks but Nex delivers a brutal kick at Ky's stomach and knocks Ky down but Ky retaliates with casting Thunder but Nex casts Dark Thunder and the two strike at each other with their lightning spells but Ky triple slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by two vertical slashes with Dawn of Hope and then delivers a somersault slash but Nex strikes back with punches followed by two brutal vertical slashes with Death's Embrace and then delivers a double brutal kick but Ky grabs Nex's leg and then delivers a spin kick but Nex unleashes a shadow fist and delivers a giant punch at Ky who casts Cure and then casts Fire but Nex dodges and grabs Ky by the throat and delivers another headbutt and knocks Ky back but Ky uses Dawn of Hope to stab the ground and then delivers a sliding kick to strike at Nex and then delivers three diagonal slashes with Dawn of Hope but Nex delivers his own diagonal slashes with Death's Embrace and then casts Dark Fire to strike at Ky and knock him back but Ky double slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by an upper slash and sends Nex in the air and then delivers three aerial slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by an aerial roundhouse slash with his Keyblade but Nex tries to cast Dark Thunder but Ky dodges and delivers a wide swinging slash with Dawn of Hope.
"Little bastard…!" Nex yelled as he coats Death's Embrace with dark aura.
"You want this? Fine." Ky said as he coats Dawn of Hope with light aura.
Nex slashes with dark coated Death's Embrace and then unleashes dark slash streaks but Ky dodges and slashes with light coated Dawn of Hope followed by casting Blizzard but Nex dodges and delivers two brutal punches followed by a brutal spin kick at Ky's left hip sending him aside but Ky recovers and double horizontal slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by a vertical slash but Nex blocks the attack and then unleashes shadow needles and sends them to strike at Ky who dodges the shadow needles but they home in on him so Ky casts Earth to get rid of the shadow needles and then diagonal slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by a somersault slash but Nex retaliates with four brutal slashes with Death's Embrace followed by a double aerial kick and sends Ky down but Ky gets back up and triple slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by an upper slash and then delivers an aerial wide slash but Nex recovers and delivers an uppercut and sends Ky into the air and then delivers a slamming slash to send Ky back to the ground but Ky strikes back with four vertical slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by a crescent slash but Nex backs off and shoots a shadow shot at Ky who dodges but the shadow shot splits into four smaller shadow shots and they home in on Ky who blocks the shadow shots but they get Ky and severely injure him but Ky casts Cure and then casts Aero to send Nex into the air but Nex unleashes shadow knives and sends them at Ky who dodges them and casts Thunder but Nex unleashes shadow tentacles and lashes with them but Ky slashes at the shadow tentacles and then delivers a horizontal slash at Nex who grabs Ky's arm and delivers hard punch at Ky's chest and sends him back.
Ky recovers from Nex's attack but Nex charges at Ky and delivers a sliding shadow punch and brings Ky in the air and then delivers an aerial stomping kick at Ky's back but Ky strikes back with shooting a light beam at Nex sending him back but Nex sinks into the shadows and goes for Ky who tries to move out of the way but Nex unleashes shadow tentacles to grab Ky and then Nex delivers a rising kick at Ky's stomach and then delivers four aerial slashes with Death's Embrace followed by an uppercut but Ky recovers and strikes back at Nex with Dawn of Hope followed by casting Fire and then casts Water but Nex unleashes his shadow barrier around himself and then unleashes two shadow fists and they deliver brutal punches but Ky defeats the shadow hands and then triple vertical slash with Dawn of Hope followed by a roundhouse kick and then delivers a somersault slash but Nex retaliates with delivering aerial double kicks and then slashes with Death's Embrace followed by unleashing two dark slash streaks but Ky counters and strikes back with Dawn of Hope followed by three diagonal slashes with his Keyblade but Nex disappears in dark mist and then reappears behind Ky and delivers a brutal kick but Ky grabs Nex's leg and then delivers a swinging slash but Nex sinks into the shadows and delivers a shadow uppercut with a giant shadow fist but Ky recovers and slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by unleashing light orbs around him and strikes at Nex who slashes back with Death's Embrace followed by unleashing dark orbs around him and strikes at Ky but Ky vertical slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by a stab with the Keyblade followed by a wide slash but Nex shadow slides to get away and then delivers a brutal punch but Ky slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by a somersault slash and sends Nex back to another rocky wall.
Ky is standing while breathing heavily and Nex escapes from the rocky wall.
"Ky!" Sora yelled.
"Will you SHUT UP! You're annoying." Vergil said.
"At this rate, Ky will lose this fight!" Tails said.
"No, he can't!" Murray said.
"You're really pissing me off, Ky! Guess that's a good trait from you." Nex said.
"Why…? Why can't you understand, Nex?!" Ky demanded.
"Hmph." Nex said as his left eye starts to glow dark blue and shadows begin to cover his body and later Nex is now in his shadow demonic form with dark blue markings and four demonic wings.
"Nex?!" Ky asked.
"dO yOu ReMeMbEr ThIs FoRm? ThIs WiLl EnD iT!" Demon Nex said.
"No…that form…" Ky said as flashbacks of Nex transforming into his shadow imp form during Requiem City's destruction and during his fight against Nex at the abandoned village.
"What just happened?!" Donald asked.
"Is this…Nex's true form?" Elena asked.
"That form… It's similar to Odium's own imp form." Noel said.
"Are they related or somethin'?" Ken asked.
"With this form, Ky is sure to lose this." Vergil said.
"dIe!" Demon Nex said as he unleashes shadows under Ky and Ky sinks into the shadows.
"KY!" Everyone cried.
In the darkness Ky is drifting in the darkness.
"Nex… He's still on the dark side. I have to do something. I have to SAVE HIM!" Ky said as his body starts glowing in pure white aura, pure white markings appear on his arms, legs, and face, his eyes glow pure white, and four angel wings appear on his back. "This form again… I'll use it to save Nex!" Ky said as he uses pure light to break the darkness and escapes from the shadows.
"Ky! He's back in his pure light form!" Elena said.
"He…used it to revert me back to my normal self when I was in my dark form." Sora said.
"tHaT dAmN fOrM aGaIn!" Demon Nex said.
"Nex! I'm gonna save you, even if it costs me my own life!" Pure-Ky said.
Demon Nex attacks at Pure-Ky with his claws followed by unleashing shadow blades but Pure-Ky dodges and attacks with light chains followed by unleashing light spheres but Demon Nex unleashes dark beams at Pure-Ky who fires light beams to counteract the dark beam and they cash their opposite element beams and later on Pure-Ky's light beam strikes at Demon Nex who retaliates with striking with his claws and then attacks with his tail and then unleashes shadow tentacles but Pure-Ky attacks with light blades around him and then keeps striking with light chains but Demon Nex strikes back with shadow chains and then claws followed by unleashes shadow blades around him and sends them at Pure-Ky but Pure-Ky traps Demon Nex with his light chains and then starts slashing with his light blades and then unleashes light spheres but Demon Nex unleashes three shadow orbs and sends at Pure-Ky who flies away and then delivers aerial strikes with his light chain followed by slashing with his light blades but Demon Nex retaliates with attacking with his claws followed by unleashing giant shadow hands to deliver punches but Pure-Ky unleashes light waves to strike at Demon Nex and then unleashes light chains from the ground to trap and strike at Demon Nex who strikes back with shadow chains and then fires dark rays but Pure-Ky fires his light rays and they clash again and Pure-Ky's light rays get Demon Nex who attacks with his tail followed by attacking with his claws and then unleashes shadow blades but Pure-Ky strikes with his light blades followed by attacking with his wings and then unleashes light pillars followed by lashing with his light chains.
"eNoUgH!" Demon Nex said as he flies into the air and then unleashes Death's Embraces and coats it in dark aura.
"So be it." Pure-Ky said as he summons Dawn of Hope and coats it in light aura.
"sUfFeR!" Demon Nex said as he flies down charging at Ky.
"I'm sorry…" Pre-Ky said as he flies up into the air and charges at Nex.
Pure-Ky and Demon Nex charge at each other with their opposite element coated Keyblades in their hands and they both later come close and clash at each other creating a massive energy from light and darkness and a quake occurs.
"Ky!" Noel said.
"This isn't good! Their clash is about to bring a most powerful energy explosion!" Bentley said.
"This world could be destroyed if not handled right!" Tails said.
"We have to do something!" Sora said.
Just then an explosion occurs from the clashing and the explosion goes for the dark barrier and then for the others and it engulfs the outside of the evil castle.
Later on in what looks like underground someone is on the ground unconscious and that someone is Ky who is now back into his normal form and later on Ky starts to wake up from his coma and tries to get up.
"Ugh…wh-what happened…?" Ky asked groggily as he gets up but struggles to balance himself. "I remember fighting…Nex, and we were in our opposite forms, but then we…clashed and an explosion occurred." Ky said. "Nex?! NEX?!" Ky called but no response. "He's not here. NOEL! SORA! DONALD! GOOFY! ELENA! KEN! MAX! TAILS! BLAZE! SHADOW! STORM! GRACE! KIYO! ZATCH! LUCKY! T.J.! ZUKO! SLY! BENTLEY! MURRAY! LUCAS!" Ky called but no response. "I'd better start looking for them." Ky said as he starts to move.
(Bygone Fortress: Underground Catacombs)
Ky starts to make his way through the underground area to try and find his friends and while trying to move he finds something moving and it's what appears to be a black cloaked and hooded figure.
"Black cloak and hood. The Organization! What the hell is he doing here?" Ky asked.
Ky goes after the black cloaked and hooded figure through the underground place and later goes for a different area.
Meanwhile in the different part of the underground catacombs Noel, Sora, Donald, Goofy, Elena, Ken, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Zuko, Sly, Bentley, Murray, and Lucas are recovering from what just happened and they look around.
"Man, that was some fight between Ky and Nex. Why does Nex hate Ky so much?" Sora asked.
"It's a long story probably. Nex was Ky's friend, but his hatred led to his betrayal." Tails said.
"But what happened to Ky?" Zuko asked.
"That's what I wanna know." Elena said as she starts to move.
"Elena!" Noel said going after Elena.
"C'mon!" Sora said as the group start to move.
(Bygone Fortress: Underground Ruined Mines)
Ky later arrives at what looks like a ruined mining area with damaged and rusted drills and destroyed mine carts and Ky looks around.
"That Organization scum couldn't have gone far! I'll find him!" Ky said.
Ky starts moving through the ruined mining area for the Organization member and he finds some damaged platforms throughout the mines but Ky jumps from platform to platform and keeps going until later on he reaches the end and goes for the next area.
(Bygone Fortress: Underground Burrows)
Ky arrives at a burrow area and he keeps trying to find the Organization member and while trying to find the Organization member he hears something.
"I heard you were following me." A voice said and Ky turns around to see the hooded black cloaked figure behind him.
"You!" Ky yelled summoning Dawn of Hope.
"I see. You DO have a Keyblade. You are one of the three chosen. It looks like Jet Yoro was right." The hooded black cloaked figure said.
"You know Jet Yoro?! Who the hell are you?" Ky asked.
The hooded black cloaked figure takes off the hood and reveals himself to be a man with tanned skin, long silver hair, and has yellow eyes.
"My name is…" The man was cut off.
"You're…Ansem! No. You're that Heartless of that Xehanort guy, who stole Ansem's name!" Ky said.
"Just call me Ansem, and I am not looking for a fight. I just came to find you and talk to you." Ansem said.
"Well, I'm not gonna talk to you! You're Sora's enemy, and I'll make damn sure I'll finish what he started on your ass!" Ky yelled.
"It looks like Pax was also right. You do also tend to bark first." Ansem said.
"Pax?! What have you DONE to him?!" Ky demanded.
(Boss Theme: The 13th Struggle)
"As I have said, I am not here to fight you, Prince of Light." Ansem said.
"Shut up! I'll kick your ass!" Ky yelled.
(Information: Defeat Ansem!)
Ansem summons what looks like a sword that has an edge that looks like a demonic wing and a blue eye in the center of the hilt and prepares his reluctant fight with Ky who stands ready to defeat Ansem.
Ky charges at Ansem and starts slashing with Dawn of Hope followed by a vertical slash sending Ansem back who unleashes a shield in front of him but Ky gets behind and then delivers horizontal slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by casting Thunder to strike but Ansem backs off and tries to unleash another barrier around him but Ky casts Earth and strikes at Ansem who tries to strike back but Ky counters and delivers two diagonal slashes and then casts Water to unleash a water beam but Ansem unleashes blue fireballs but Ky dodges them and casts Blizzard to strike at Ansem and then delivers triple slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by a somersault slash but Ansem creates another shield to protect him but Ky quickly vertical slashes with Dawn of Hope followed by a slide kick and then delivers a lower horizontal slash but Ansem tries to strike back but Ky keeps attacking back with Dawn of Hope followed by a wide slash and then delivers a diagonal slash and sends Ansem back.
"You are stronger than what you appear. Fulgur, Pax, and even Aptus have the right idea about you and Noel." Ansem said.
"What the hell do YOU know about my friends?! Why do you even care?! Are you sent to destroy us this time, so you can destroy worlds again?" Ky asked.
"That was not what I said. You need to learn to listen to others." Ansem said.
"What'd you say?!" Ky demanded.
"I told you I am here to talk to you. It's about Sora." Ansem said.
"What about him?" Ky asked.
"I heard you have been travelling with him. Tell me, what would you do if he were to succumb to the darkness?" Ansem asked.
"What kind of stupid question is that? I would do ANYTHING to keep him from succumbing to the darkness! I would risk my own neck for him!" Ky said.
"What if you were to be consumed by the darkness? Would he rescue you?" Ansem asked.
"Of course he would! We're friends! We risk our necks for each other!" Ky said.
"I see. So, that is your answer." Ansem said.
"What's with these stupid question?" Ky asked.
"What do you see in Sora? What do you see in Noel?" Ansem said.
"In my eyes, Sora's like a third older brother to me, just like Nex and Pax are! And Noel, she's like twin a sister to me! They feel the same to me! Sora views me as his brother and Noel also views me as hers!" Ky said.
"A bold answer. You do have a pure heart, just as what is said." Ansem said as he puts his hood back on.
"What the hell are you doing?!" Ky demanded.
"It's time for me to go. I am counting on you and Noel to watch over Sora. In a way, you both are alike. You both tend to bark and rush into battle headfirst without any thought." Ansem said.
"Why you…!" Ky growled.
"Until we meet again." Ansem said as he disappears in darkness.
"That was why he was here? To ask me stupid questions?" Ky asked. "If he does anything to Noel and Sora, I'll kill him." Ky said.
Just then Ky hears a noise going on from the next area.
"What's that?" Ky asked as he goes for the next area.
Meanwhile the group are going through the underground areas for Ky.
"Ky can't be this far! We have to hurry and find him!" Sly said.
"Right! C'mon!" Sora said.
"Please, Ky. Be okay." Elena said.
(Bygone Fortress: Underground Lair)
Ky arrives at a lair and as he looks around he finds Fulgur, Oswald, Sonic, Peach, and Mario on the ground and so Ky runs to them.
"Guys!" Ky said running to the five but then he sees someone else and it's the hooded Brotherhood member. "The Brotherhood!" Ky said with hatred.
"The Prince of Light. At last, we meet officially." The calm and calculating Brotherhood member said.
Ky then notices the calm and calculating Brotherhood member holding the crystal sword.
"The crystal sword! Give it back!" Ky yelled.
"Yes. This holds great power in whatever hands, and brings in one's desire. To be frank, I have no interest in it, but I was interested in its power." The calm and calculating Brotherhood member said.
"Then hand it over!" Ky said.
"I suppose I shall. This world will be thrown into chaos, along with any other world anyway. And you, Virtus, the Prince of Light, will help me with that." The calm and calculating Brotherhood member said as he takes off his hood showing his face that has red eyes, dark blue long hair with the back of the hair is tied to a ponytail while the rest of the hair is loose while a big lock is covering his left red eye and has a black star on the right side of his face and is under his right eye.
"What the hell are you talking about? Why would I help YOU?!" Ky demanded.
"Because, Virtus, we need you." The calm and calculating Brotherhood member said.
"Need…me?" Ky asked.
"And what is it you need Ky for?!" A voice demanded and Ky sees Noel, Sora, and everyone else arrive.
"Guys!" Ky said.
"Excellent. Everyone is here. Unfortunately, the Child of Light and Darkness, and Sora are not what we need. I suppose I share with you my desire. First, allow me to introduce you to who I am. I am Narasix, the leader of the Brotherhood of Disharmony, and my desire is quite simple. I desire true peace." The calm and calculating Brotherhood member known as Narasix said.
"True…peace?" Elena asked.
"What is peaceful about you and your members going around and causing trouble for the worlds?!" Zuko demanded.
"The worlds are nothing. They think they are living their lives peacefully, but in reality, their peace is false! Their 'order' is the very thing that keeps them from having what is truly desired, and that is real peace." Narasix said.
"But everyone is happy to be alive, and as long they make their home peaceful, then that's what peace is." Noel said.
"You can't just distort it." Tails said.
"Actually, we can. Chaos brings real peace. The Brotherhood's purpose is to bring chaos and darkness to all worlds, and bring true order and peace throughout the worlds." Narasix said.
"Bring chaos and darkness to bring peace?!" Sora asked.
"That's not how it works! Darkness, in the wrong hands, tends to bring destruction to everything, unless it's stopped." Noel said.
"That's the thing with those, like you, who walk on the path of light. You are blinded to see the truth. Those, who fight for the light, and bring peace, are just bringing nothing but lies. The only way true peace and happiness can be achieved, is to bring darkness and chaos to every world. That is our purpose. However, we cannot achieve this one our own, for the way to help bring darkness and distort the false peace, is to convert the purest heart of light, and that is of Virtus, the Prince of Light." Narasix said.
"Convert?" Goofy asked.
"He means he's gonna corrupt Ky's heart, and make him into a soldier of darkness!" Tails said.
"No way in hell are you gonna turn Ky into your slave!" Elena yelled.
"He will not be our slave. He will be our true salvation, and become the true savior of all worlds from their false 'peace' and their false 'happiness'. Light brings pain, heartache, and sadness, but darkness actually gives one happiness and protection. It brings us…utopia." Narasix said.
"But why me?! Why also come after the Seven Princesses of Heart as well? Why do you want just me?" Ky asked.
"Because you hold the most purest heart of all. The Princess are already blinded by their hope and false happiness, like everyone else. That is something Xehanort can do whatever he pleases with those Princesses, but you, you are special to us, and would make an excellent addition to our cause. We've been meaning to try and take you under our wing, since you were so young. During Lord Malus' Heartless' invasion of Divine Kingdom, and during the demise of your parents, we've been meaning to capture you, and make you our perfect dark soldier." Narasix said.
"So, you intend to kidnap me when I was little, right when my birth home was invaded, and became Void Citadel?!" Ky asked.
"Yes, but that fool Amora arranged for Sophia to take you away, and there was nothing to do. Even if we had you as your toddler self, you wouldn't be so adequate to our cause. So, we waited, and now you have the Keyblade, and have become strong enough. You are now ready to become a part of our plot." Narasix said.
"Screw that!" Ky yelled.
"I won't let you have Ky!" Sora said as he gets in front.
"Same here!" Elena yelled protecting Ky.
"Such weaklings, attempting to stand against me. It's reckless." Narasix said.
Just then something appears and it's another hooded crimson and black star cloaked figure.
"What is it, Revenant?" Narasix asked and the hooded figure known as Revenant says something to Narasix but the group can't hear. "Yes, yes. I understand. Perhaps next time, he will be ours. Let's go." Narasix said.
"Hey!" Ky yelled.
"I will come for you when time comes, Prince of Light. You would do well as to comply to our will soon." Narasix said.
"Ky will never come for you!" Sly yelled.
"He has no choice in the matter." Narasix said.
"He does actually!" Someone said and it's Fulgur said.
"Still alive, I see. You and your friends are quite stubborn, but it is futile." Narasix said as he starts to disappear in darkness.
"No you don't!" Sonic yelled as he runs after Narasix.
"Stop!" Fulgur yelled as he, Oswald, Peach, and Mario run after Narasix who disappears in darkness but the five disappear with him.
"Wait!" Ky yelled but they're gone.
"Damn…" Ken said.
"He's not really gonna come after you, is he, Ky?" Max asked.
"I hope not." Ky said.
"We should get out of here, and meet back with the others." Kiyo said.
"Okay. C'mon." Ky said.
"Um, Ky, did you happen to find Nex while you were alone?" Elena asked.
"No, I haven't seen him, since our clash. I wonder where he could be." Ky said.
Meanwhile Nex, Vergil, and Omega exit out of an underground area and are outside.
"That little bastard sure knows how to put up a fight. He's gotten a little stronger, but he's still no match for me strength and power." Nex said.
"What now?" Vergil asked.
"Our target is not here. Let's try elsewhere." Nex said as he moves and Vergil and Omega follow him.
(Bygone Fortress: Massive Canyon)
Nex, Vergil, and Omega arrive at the massive canyon and while searching they find the injured Ry.
"You again?! What are you doing here, you demon?!" Ry demanded.
"My presence here is none of your concern, idiot. Judging from your own strength, you can hardly walk." Nex said.
"Shut up. I don't know what your purpose is, but you won't be able to destroy anything here." Ry said.
"Actually, there is one thing I can destroy, and I'm looking at him." Nex said as he unleashes a giant shadow hand and grabs Ry and uses the shadow hand to begin crushing Ry. "You humans are all the same. You're all nothing but worthless scum, who think you are doing the right thing, and the best way to end humanity is to erase everything that is good in the worlds, and bring forth darkness." Nex said as he continues to crush Ry and later on the shadow hand has finished crushing Ry and Nex throws Ry's body down to the lower part of the canyon.
"Foolish boy." Vergil said.
"Target in the city of this world." Omega said.
"Is that so. Well then, let's go there, and find him." Nex said.
Nex, Vergil, and Omega go through the massive canyon and then go for the next area.
(Bygone Fortress: Temple Ruins)
The trio arrive at the temple ruins and make their way through for the city and later go for the next area.
(Bygone Fortress: Valley Trail)
The trio make their way through the valley trail and after a long way through the trail they go for the next place.
(Bygone Fortress: Ruined Gates)
The trio are now in the ruined castle gates and keep going for the city and later on they go for the next place.
(Bygone Fortress: Outskirts)
The trio return to the outskirts of the city of Bygone Fortress and make their way for the city and later on they arrive at the city area.
(Bygone Fortress: Residential District)
Nex, Vergil, and Omega return to the Residential District and search for their target and then they go for the next part of the city.
(Bygone Fortress: Construction District)
While Nex, Vergil, and Omega arrive at the Construction District they search for who they're trying to find and then they find someone moving through the district and it's a reddish-brown haired boy.
"Not our target, but power level of the boy appears to be strong." Omega said.
"Really." Nex said as he goes for the boy. "Hey!" Nex called making the boy stop.
"What do you want?" The boy asked.
"What are you doing?" Nex asked.
"I don't know. My master is no longer around here, and there is no one for me to serve, so I guess I'll live freely." The boy said.
"That's going to change. You appear strong. You will help me find my target." Nex said.
"Why should I help you?" The boy asked but Nex delivers a shadow punch at the boy.
"Does that answer your question?" Nex asked.
"You…hit hard… Fine, I guess I'll help. I have nothing to do anyway." The boy said.
"Who are you?" Vergil asked.
"My name is Claus." Claus said.
"Well, then Claus, you work for me now. We're finding my prey. Your power will be used." Nex said.
"Fine." Claus said.
(Claus has joined you!)
Weapon: Beam Sword and Arm Cannon
Attacks:
Multi Slash
Lightning Strike
Plasma Shot
Dash Slash
"Target is now discovered in the town plaza." Omega said.
"Let's go." Nex said.
(Bygone Fortress: Town Plaza)
Nex, Vergil, Omega, and Claus arrive at the town plaza and while searching Nex finds a crimson and black star cloaked figure.
"There he is. I finally found you, you bastard!" Nex said.
"So, ya finally did! Nice to see ya again, brother!" The crimson and black star cloaked figure said and it's revealed to be Odium. "How long has it been since we've last seen each other?" Odium asked.
"About a while. Now that I have found you, I will destroy you!" Nex said summoning Death's Embrace.
"Still itchin' for a fight? Well, since you're so eager to play again, then how 'bout we play a game? This'll be MY version of hide-and-seek. I'll be goin' to a world, and you go to a world, and seek me out! If you do find me, then I'll settle my score with you!" Odium said.
"I have no interest in your twisted games!" Nex said.
"You always were never the fun type! Just play my game of tag, and we'll settle things later. See ya, bro!" Odium said as he disappears in darkness.
"Damn scum!" Nex yelled.
"So, we're gonna to play his little game of tag? Sounds fun." Vergil said.
"We'll travel from world to world if we have to find him." Claus said.
"Then, we'll do just that." Nex said as he uses Death's Embrace to unleash a dark portal and Nex goes into it and Vergil, Omega and Claus do the same and leave Bygone Fortress before the dark portal disappears.
(Bygone Fortress: H.Q. Base)
The group are now in the H.Q. and talk to Tsubaki.
"Well, we've managed to keep the Black Xetis at bay, but at a heavy price. Ry was discovered at the canyon, and he's now gone. Someone must have killed him." Tsubaki said.
"You don't think it was a Black Xeti or a Brotherhood member?" Donald asked.
"We're not sure, but I'm sure he risked his life to try and rebuild this world to make it a batter place." May said.
"Ry…" Noel said.
"Well, Big Brother was always strong, but now we gotta keep this world better than how it was." Noah said.
"I'm sure he would like that." Ky said.
"Now, what do we do?" Murray asked.
"We've been fighting the Black Xetis and the Heartless ever since the start of our own journey, and now we've got Brotherhood of Disharmony and Organization XIII to worry about." Ky said.
"Although we have two threats to deal with, dealing with the Black Xetis and the Heartless has taken a toll on us." Elena said.
"Yep! Maybe we should take a li'l rest for just a while 'til we get ready for what to do next." Goofy said.
"That sounds like a good plan." Noel said.
"I can handle that." Shadow said.
"And while being in here, we can help restore Bygone Fortress." Zatch said.
"Great! It's settled then." Ky said.
"Yeah!" Sora said.
(Theme: Brotherhood of Disharmony)
Meanwhile at the Brotherhood's chamber Narasix appears and discusses with the other Brotherhood members.
"Virtus understands now. We intend on converting him to our cause, and making him into our perfect soldier of darkness, but now Noel and Sora will try to prevent it from happening." Narasix said.
"Who gives a rat's ass?! They're too weak to stop us! It's just as Lazy Ass said; we're immortal! We can't die. We're not like those worthless Nobodies! Our plan can continue." Ravik said.
"Don't get reckless, Ravik. They still pose a threat to our cause." Sedia said.
"The best way to handle this is to wipe them all out." The cocky Brotherhood member said.
"Perhaps, but we wait until our time has come to eradicate them, but not Virtus. We still need him." Narasix said.
"I agree. You all better perform your duties as expected." Jeal said.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just as long as I still get to sleep." Laz said.
"Well, if we're doin' nothin' right now, I might as well get myself somethin' to eat." The dimwitted Brotherhood member said.
"You're always hungry, ya fat ass!" Ravik said.
"Enough! Just prepare your assignments soon! Our plan must be completed for our ambitions." Narasix said as he disappears in darkness and so do the other members.
