Chapter 81: Xehanort's Past

Hey everyone I'm back with a new chapter. I'd like to thank SuperHeroTimeFan for his idea in this chapter. Also for the winners of the last 5 girls in Roxas harem the winners are Lizzie, Darling, Farrah, Crystal and Meeshell. I hope you like what I have planned. Please Review and Enjoy.

At Ever After High's Indoor pool, Meeshell was sitting by the edge of the pool with her mermaid fin out while Roxas was practicing his strokes.

As Roxas swam from one end to the other he comes to a stop in the shallow end.

"How was that?" Roxas asks looking towards Meeshell.

"Your strokes still need improvement, if you were in that ocean again, you'd still be in trouble." Meeshell said causing Roxas to sigh.

"What am I doing wrong?" Roxas asks.

"You're trying to force your way through the water, swimming is about going with the flow of the water." Meeshell said hopping into the water.

"Well I need to learn how to do this because I really don't want to drown again." Roxas said as Meeshell swam towards him.

"Here let me help you. Bend down and show me your strokes." Meeshell said.

Roxas dips his hands into the water and moves them back and forth.

"No, no, no. Here let me show you." Meeshell swims up behind him, reaching out she grabs his arms surprising him. "You want to gently move like this." Meeshell moves his hands softly through the water.

As Meeshell was walking Roxas through the strokes a blush appeared on her face as her soft hands touched his strong arms.

"Uh Meeshell." Roxas said snapping her out of it.

"Huh?" Looking up she saw her face was just inches from his causing her face to turn bright red. "Uhh let's get back to swimming." She said diving into the water.

Underneath the water Meeshell was holding her face. 'Oh wow his arms were so smooth and that look on his face makes my heart race.' She thought.


Meanwhile outside the school Raven was doing something she never thought she would be able to do, bond with her mother.

Sitting down on a bench Raven and the Evil Queen were eating a Sea Salt Ice Cream.

"Hmm delicious." Evil Queen smiles.

"Wow the Evil Queen smiling and it's not at someone's expense." Brooke said.

"Well Raven doesn't seem to be complaining." The male narrator said.

"You know Mom, I'm actually glad someone smashed your mirror again." Raven said.

"Me too Raven" She said.

"So what's gonna happen to you now? Are they gonna send you back to the mirror prison?" Raven asks.

"The headmasters and Roxas are working on an alternative. Since all the evil and darkness was taken from me, they figure I should use this chance to reinvent myself." Evil Queen said.

"Really? What would you like to do?" Raven asks.

"Hopefully help you and your little friends out." Evil Queen said ruffling Raven's hair causing Raven to chuckle. "So tell me Raven are there any cute boys out there that you like?"

"Mom!" Raven said turning bright red.

"Oh you're blushing what's his name?" Evil Queen asks leaning in interested.

"Uh uh well." Raven said nervously when her mirrorphone went off. "Hello?" Raven answers.

"Raven, where are you guys? We're all meeting at Headmaster's Office to talk to Yen Sid." Apple said on the other line.

'Oh thank you.' Raven thought. "We'll be right there." Raven said hanging up. "Come on Mom, we need to go." Raven said as they walked away.

"Why are mom's always so embarrassing like that?" Brooke asks.

"What can I say? It's a parent's job to embarrass their kids." Her mom giggles.


At the Headmaster's office, the Forever After Fighters, Sora, Riku, Kairi, Lea, La, Hayner, Pence, Olette and the Evil Queen were talking to Yen Sid and Mickey.

"I have an assignment for you all. Sora, Riku, Kairi, Lea, I want you all to stay with the Forever After Fighters for the time being." Yen Sid said surprising them all.

"Wait you want us to go to school here? I think I'm a little behind." Sora said.

"You see Sora in 2 months there's something we want you all to partake in, but until then we can't afford to let Xehanort try to destroy any of us when we're down like he tried to do with Roxas." Mickey explained.

"Still 2 months is a long time why are we staying here?" Kairi asks.

"The Forever After Fighters have gotten this far with their individual skills and teamwork, for the longest time you all have been working in small teams, for this world you'll all need to work together as a team in order to succeed." Yen Sid said.

"Cool, I guess we finally get to do a mission together." Sora said looking towards Roxas.

"Try not to fall to far behind." Roxas smirks.

"I guess it'll be nice to do a mission with more help." Riku said when the Evil Queen steps up.

"Before we go anywhere else, I have a question for you." She said getting his attention. "When Xehanort tired to recruit me to his side he told me that this school was his Alma mater as well, is that true?"

"Yes, it is true." Yen Sid said shocking everyone.

"Xehanort went to Ever After High?" Apple said.

"Now this is a scoop." Blondie said taking out her mirrorpad.

"Yes in fact when I was headmaster of Ever After High Xehanort was one of my top students.

Flashback:

In the hallways of Ever After High, a teenage Xehanort and Eraqus were playing a game of chess with a young Eraqus.

"And Darkness wins again." Xehanort said knocking over the last white piece.

"Aw man, not again. Even with all those extra pieces I still lost." Eraqus sighs.

"It just goes to show you, skills matter more than just numbers." Xehanort smirks.

"Yeah, but still when they're lots of pieces on your side it means you have lots of friends watching your back." Eraqus said picking up his pieces. "One more game?"

"As much as I enjoy beating you, we have to get ready for class. Headmaster Yen Sid's giving a special announcement." Xehanort said as they picked up the board game.

As they walked to class they encountered a young Milton and Giles Grimm walking in.

"Hey guys." Eraqus said waving as they took their seats.

"Eraqus." Giles smiles waving back to him.

"Calm down Giles the Master Yen Sid is about to speak." Milton said nudging his brother as Yen Sid walking into the middle of the classroom.

"As many of you know becoming headmaster of this fine school is an honor I have not taken lightly, but like everything changes so must my time at this school, I've decided to leave Ever After High." Yen Sid said shocking the students.

"What?! You can't leave!" Milton said standing up.

"You're the best headmaster we've ever had! No one can take your place!" Eraqus said standing up.

"I'm sorry but this is a choice I have been thinking about for quite some time. However with this change the position of Headmaster will be open soon and I have decided I want to pass it on to one of my students. If any of you feel you are up to the challenge come speak with me." Yen Sid said leaving the classroom.

"Headmaster Xehanort…wow it's got a nice ring to it." Xehanort said impressed.

Flashback end:

"Wait, Xehanort wanted to be headmaster of Ever After High?" Dexter said shocked.

"Just like me." Roxas said blown away by all this.

"I can't believe you two went to school with that guy." Lea said looking at the Headmasters.

"We didn't even realize it when we first saw Xehanort, he was so…different back then." Milton said.

"Not the man we're fighting to stop." Giles nodded.

"And I assume you all know who my choice was in the end?" Yen Sid said looking at Milton and Giles. "But perhaps it was choice that led to all of this."

Flashback:

In Eraqus and Xehanort's room, Xehanort was lying on his bed with a big smile on his face.

"Just think about it Eraqus, if I become headmaster here, I could help this school in so many ways." Xehanort said.

"But we already have destinies, remember? To be Keyblade Masters." Eraqus reminds him.

"So what? I can still do that, I would just have something else to keep me busy." Xehanort said getting up from his bed. Climbing below Xehanort feels around until he grabs a handle pulling it up, he reveals a hidden compartment under his bed. "Maybe if I take it, I'll get a better keyblade than this one." Xehanort said pulling out a keyblade that resembled Master's Defender, only the middle of the guard has the Gazing Eye, the teeth has the EA Letters of Ever After High, the hilt has Sora, Mickey and Roxas's symbols, and the keychain consists of the Mickey Emblem, Sora's Crown Symbol, and Roxas's X Symbol.

Eraqus smirks as he hands Xehanort the chess set to put in his hidden compartment.

"You know most people would appreciate what they got rather than hope for something more." Eraqus said.

"And here I was hoping you would assist me when I become Headmaster." Xehanort said taking out a knife and carving something on the guard.

"What'cha doing?" Eraqus asks.

"I'm turning this into a time capsule. If anyone finds it, I want them to know they were once in the same place as Ever After High's greatest Keyblade wielder and Headmaster." Xehanort smiles putting the keyblade in the compartment.

A few weeks later however, Xehanort was crushed to see that Milton and Giles became Yen Sid's choice to take his place as headmaster.

In the Headmaster's office, Xehanort pounded his fist on Yen Sid's desk.

"Calm yourself Xehanort." Yen Sid said with a stern expression. "What troubles you?"

"I'll tell you what's wrong. Why did you choose those two over me?! I'm one of your top students and a keyblade wielder like you were, why didn't you choose me?" Xehanort asks demanding an answer.

"I am sorry Xehanort, you are a gifted student and a fine keyblade wielder, but I'm afraid right now the school needs a kind and gentle leader to help the students find the right paths for them to take." Yen Sid said.

"But I can do so much more. I can give them the drive to find whatever destiny they want. When I become a Keyblade Master Ever After High won't ever have to worry about any problems whatsoever." Xehanort said.

"Your ambition and drive is strong, but you also need other qualities to be a headmaster at this school." Yen Sid said.

"What are these qualities? I can learn them, please, just give me a chance." Xehanort begs.

"I am sorry but my decision is final Milton and Giles Grimm will make excellent Headmasters." Yen Sid said causing Xehanort to frown. "Don't be too hard on yourself Xehanort you can still be a great value to this school."

Yen Sid reaches out trying to comfort the young keyblade wielder but at the last second Xehanort knocks his hand away surprising him.

"No. I'm not gonna be a pawn like every other sucker in this school. If I can't be Headmaster of this dump then I'll become a Keyblade Legend. I'll become a Keyblade Master like no one has ever seen and then this school will be sorry they ever turned me down." Xehanort said as he stormed out.

Flashback End:

"And with that Xehanort went on to become a Keyblade Master and Milton and Giles went on to become Headmasters after I stepped down, the rest you all know." Yen Sid said ending his story.

"I don't believe this, all of this started because he couldn't become Headmaster here." Raven said.

"One small thing changed everything for us." Cerise said.

"Yes. In a way perhaps if I had given Xehanort his chance we could have avoided this future." Yen Sid frowns.

"Don't beat yourself up Master, none of us could've know that Xehanort would go this far." Riku said.

"Even so, you all were pulled into this and now I fear war is upon us." Yen Sid said.

"And when it does, we'll be ready." Roxas said stepping forward.

"And we won't stop until we save everyone." Sora said also stepping forward. "We all could've turned away and said no to the choice to fight this battle, but we chose to stay. We knew the risks and we're prepared to face it."

Yen Sid looks at them both and smiles. "Train hard young fighters and keep the worlds safe, in two months meet me at my tower and I will give you my challenge. Good luck and your hearts be your guiding keys."


That night, Roxas was walking to his room still thinking about what Yen Sid said.

"Xehanort wanted the same thing I wanted, to be Headmaster…does that mean I could end up like him?" Roxas said to himself as he opened the door.

Kicking off his shoes one lands next to his bed while the other flew under the bed and banged against something getting his attention.

Walking over to his bed, Roxas reaches under and finds a handle to a hidden compartment. When he opens it he finds a chess set inside with all the pieces scattered around.

"Wait a minute." Roxas looks at the pieces and notices their symbols at the top, one had Mickey's symbol, one had Sora's Crown, and one had his X. As he laid the pieces out, he saw that the light side had more than the dark side. With each piece he put on the board he saw his friends in place of those pieces.

When he was finished, he saw all his friends on one side and on the other he saw Xehanort and all his vessels.

"What is this?" Roxas asks when a light from under Roxas' bed a light reflects off the piece with his X symbol on it.

Reaching down Roxas grabs a handle and pulls out an old rusted keyblade, the same one Xehnaort put away.

"What the?" Roxas said when he noticed a carving on guard, but it was so old he couldn't make it out. "S…ala …d Ca…"

As Roxas held the keyblade a light reflected off him and for a second we see a young Xehanort in the same position before it changed back to Roxas.

Now here's the final version of Roxas' harem:

Apple, Briar, Amora, Namine, Melody, Cerise, Poppy, Maddie, Crystal, Lizzie, Darling, Farrah and Meeshell.
