Prologue
Cinder In Hell
It has been so long since the defeat of Salem and her dark army. The death of Cinder Fall should've enabled Sora to avenge the deaths of Jaune, Pyrrha, Penny, Qrow, Oscar, Sun, and many other huntsmen and huntresses who died by the Grimm Maiden's hands. Now, deep in the darkest pits of the underworld, the demons began parading about Cinder, who was now truly enraged beyond belief, as she had now been entrapped in a cocoon of darkness, with only her head sticking out. The one thing that was forever burned into her mind was her death at the hands of Sora. All the rage and hatred she bore against him was causing her to slowly absorb the dark power of Hell around her, making her grow stronger and stronger, until she burst out of her cocoon.
"ENOUGH!" she screamed.
Everyone jumped back in shock, and she glared at them. The only difference was that she had now regained her human form in the underworld after she died, despite the fact that she still retained the power of the Grimm within her blackened heart.
"Sora! You may have killed me before, but I will return, far stronger than before! Once I've killed you, my vengeance shall be appeased, and I will do what Salem could not, after you defeated her. I will destroy everything you cherish, and Kingdom Hearts will be mine for the taking, after I'm reunited with Sephiroth," declared the evil woman.
Out in the lanes between, Nuno Harime stood before the viewport, a wicked smile on his face.
"Excuse me, Nuno. I'm afraid I have some bad news. Even after you infused us with the life fibers, thanks to your father taking Ragyo's soul and gaining her knowledge and power, just so he'd revive Nui, I have bad news. Another uprising has begun, and it looks like the resistance movement is striking back," said a soldier.
"Such arrogance. I want that uprising crushed, and make certain there are no witnesses. Then burn that world after driving everyone underground. No excuses, or I will be forced to cut you down with this sword my father gave me, the Essence Shard," remarked Nuno, and he ordered the crews to turn the weapons of his ship, the Kujata, to destroy the landscape.
The world, Traverse Town, was now a smoldering ruin, and a huge wasteland.
"Brother, I have good news. There is another world that's not too far from here. Apparently they contain Dragon Balls. May I suggest that you come to that world, but make sure to stay out of sight of the Super Saiyans, Goku, Vegeta, Gohan, Trunks, and Goten. If they pick up your power, they will surely hunt you down and kill you, which in turn will make Father take your soul and make it be a part of him, along with your power," said Aiden, who spoke to him through his gummi phone.
"Thank you, Aiden. May I suggest that Chrysilla contact Kurai and Azrael? I want to make sure the Dragon Ball Radar that we crafted, based on the designs of Bulma's will prove to be quite useful. After all, I feel like it's time to bring back an old friend who suffered her first true form of humiliation after she died. After all, I'd rather not risk drawing the last of the Saiyans to our location, just so they can have us killed off en masse. That would most certainly take a very serious toll on our ambitions. And that old friend I'm talking about is none other than Cinder Fall, the Grimm Maiden of Hellfire!" announced Nuno.
"Cinder Fall!?" gasped the imperial soldiers.
"That's right. She once served Azrael's mother, Salem, but now that she's gone, that means Cinder is free to do as she pleases without the need of any questioning from us, the Children of Sephiroth, inheritors of Grandmother Jenova's memetic legacy. Unlike that traitor, Chelsea Crescent, who is now walking her path as a Warrior of Light, until the Anarchy Siblings' mother raised her like her own daughter, making her become part of both Panty and Stocking's family. For now, inform Martini that it's time to prepare my private shuttlecraft. I wish to travel to Goku's world personally," he replied sharply.
"YES SIR!" they all cried out.
A small shuttle whooshed out of the hanger bay of the Kujata, and raced off to Goku's world. Martini, while piloting it, picked up something that the probe droids detected. It was Pilaf and his henchmen, Shu and Mai.
"Brother, I have good news. We've located them. Six of the seven legendary Dragon Balls," she said.
"Good work, Sister. Let's set ourselves down near Pilaf and his goons. I want to make sure that we cooperate with them, and after they serve our purpose, you may kill them," replied her brother.
They did so, and with their weapons drawn, they brought them and the dragon balls aboard, after forging a temporary truce with the Pilaf Gang.
"You did good, my friends. Now, about the seventh Dragon Ball. Have you located it?" he asked as politely as he could.
"Yes, we have, Nuno. And I can assure you that it is right below us in the ocean," replied Pilaf.
"Then I will go down there by myself, Nuno. In the meantime, you make sure that the Pilaf Gang doesn't double cross you, and have some Heartless be used to serve as some very permanent examples. Hopefully Father will be very pleased to see Mother Cinder again after being apart from her for so long," said Martini, and she dove down into the ocean below, after stripping down to only her bikini.
"Pilaf! Mai! Shu! I know that the three of you have been trying so desperately to wish for something that would actually be what you desire most, but sadly you are nothing more than incompetent idiots. But I warn you, if you attempt to double cross me…" warned Nuno.
Then he called forth a small force of Heartless, and cut them all down with his sword, the Essence Shard.
"This is what will become of all three of you. Is that understood?" he asked menacingly.
Mai cowered before him, and even Shu and Pilaf were right to acknowledge their disdain of dying by his hands. Then Martini surfaced after she grabbed the final Dragon Ball.
"I have it, Nuno. Now we can restore Cinder to life with them," she said.
"Good work, Martini. The time for the return of the Maiden of Hellfire is now upon us," grinned her brother, and they raced away.
However, somewhere in Canterlot, Sora sat down eating a strawberry sundae, just as Irina arrived.
"Sorry for taking too long, Sora. I had to take care of some renegade demons that were helping the Empire, but I was kind of surprised to see Dante taking care of some of them even quicker than me, even though I was helping him out," she said.
"That's Dante for you, Irina. Still, the others have been very busy with their training in Camp Everfree, as well as making sure that both Timber and Gloriosa still have plenty of money to keep things going for as long as possible. That way, the next generation of campers can ensure that the friendships forged between newer students can be forged, and they can all be strengthened. It did take me a while, but after my Divine Harmony form evolved further and further, I think it's made me have the power of a god at my fingertips, and I guess it's probably fair to say that I've gotten even stronger than before," replied Sora.
"Don't worry, Sora. Even though you did buy me some new stockings, it was definitely for reasons that were different from Touka's perverted reasons. And you know what? I guess it's fair to say that I like wearing white stockings rather than black. It kind of helps to reflect the rays of sunlight off of my legs," assured Yuna.
"Yep. Also, about the intense training that I went through, even though Chibiusa has chosen to visit us from time to time. Rei wanted me to tell you that she sensed two very ominous auras far away from Canterlot. I think they may be using the power of darkness to do something that's truly terrible. Also, I should alert Usagi and the other Warriors of Light to rally to your side," said Minako.
"Minako's right, Sora. I sense them too. They're a lot worse than those monsters from the now destroyed Panther Claw, after Sister Jill was finally defeated, and sent to Hell by our hands," agreed Honey.
Both blondes were indeed correct about it, which did leave Sora with much to ponder about. Nuno, Martini, and the Pilaf Gang had now found a safer location that was in a mountain region of Goku's world.
"Now that the Dragon Balls have been collected Pilaf, I believe the honor of rousing Shenron from his slumber falls to you. But fear not, because in time you will be rewarded beyond your wildest dreams. Also, aren't you all forgetting the reason why I had to teach you, Mai and Shu a lesson about showing proper restraint?" he asked ominously, his darkness slowly seeping out of him.
Both Shu and Mai cowered before him again, and Pilaf ran to the Dragon Balls.
"Eternal Dragon Shenron, by your name, we summon thee!" cried Pilaf.
The Dragon Balls began to glow bright orange, and out popped Shenron, in a burst of golden light. The Sky above suddenly grew dark and cloudy, which made Goku and the others realize that the Eternal Dragon had been summoned.
"I am Shenron, the Eternal Dragon. Speak your wishes and I shall make them reality," announced Shenron.
"Mighty Shenron, you grace me with your presence. I, Nuno Harime, Son of Sephiroth and Nui, humbly ask that you restore Cinder Fall to life with your awesome power," Nuno said without hesitation.
