The screen flickers before a nervous looking author.
*Hey guys Hakurorofan7 here and welcome to another chapter of From No One To Someone.*
*Look I know that I promised Radiant Garden for this chapter...but I'm writing this as a celebration for a new game of Utawatrerumono being announced...my favorite game series.*
*Believe me Kingdom Hearts is my 2nd favorite and my username and profile pic are from characters in the series, it's just the games don't respect in the West especially with how badly they blotched translating them. But I mainly focus on Kingdom Hearts due to the fact I've played them longer and the fact I don't feel confident to try my in hand to write anything from there yet due to fear of screwing up badly. Maybe one day I will try, but until then I will just continue with what I got.*
*Anyway with that off of my chest, let's continue shall we.*
*This chapter will focus on Vanitas and that is all I am going to say, except for one thing for our 100th reviewer.*
*You are going to love this chapter.*
*Anyway, first I do not own Kingdom Hearts.*
*Finally just sit back, relax, maybe put some music on, and enjoy. I will see you all at the end of the chapter.*
The author snaps his fingers and the chapter begins.
Eclipsing Darkness
"That was one hell of a Heartless." Vanitas sighed out as he replayed the memories his Unversed had sent him.
This Ras Al-Gul that was unleashed was undoubtedly one of the stronger Heartless he had seen and was definitely the darkest. This thing was intelligent, prayed upon it's own kind, and was capable of turning itself into a bomb capable of turning itself into apreducing a chunk of a city in order to take it's attacker with it.
Although there were bond to be Heartless just as evil like it lurking in the shadows somewhere, but he doubted that he would ever encounter anything like them in his lifetime.
But ot was something to prepare for.
Yet besides the mutated Heartless, the battle did reveal something interesting.
A first person perspective on Roxas's first Limit Break.
Everything else pales in comparison.
The 'Blood of Falak' as they were called in Agrabah...well he needed that form his side project, but a recently created Unversed would be more then enough to rob the merchant he saw blind.
As for Roxas knowing of three of the Princesses of Heart, that was mainly Xehanort's interest anyway. Unless the third one was on a world that the old coot told him to unleash them on he would leave them well enough alone. But if they did and were connected to Roxas...well he wasn't even going touch up on that issue and promptly decided to drop it for the moment.
Besides he now had the everything he needed. All that was left was just a little more training and something to test against.
His mind began to work on creating the perfect beast to practice against. Not to weak as to go down in a single hit and not too tough to pose a serious challenge.
"That should do it." Vanitas said as he finally created the perfect creature to test on.
Generating a sphere of darkness he threw it about 30 feet infront of him and an explosion of darkness later, he was greeted by the three monsterous roars.
In front of him was what could only be described as a chimera.
It has a dark blue body built like a lion about as tall as he was with a lion head with a black mane, nehind the mane was a light blue goat head with black curved horns, and it's tail was completly black and ended in a snake head. Each head had red eyes similar to that of a Flood.
Each head let out a mighty roar as Vanitas inspected his latest creation.
"Not bad, not bad at all." Vanitas said as he inspected the Unversed as it growled at him. "An aggressive one too, how about Ravenous Hunter?"
The Unversed in question could only preen itself at the name while the goat head let out a soft beat.
"Ravenous Hunter it is then, well here is your first order." Vanitas as he summoned Void Gear and got into his stance. "Do not hold back."
The Unversed let out a mighty roar from it's lion head, launching a large fireball at the ancient Keyblade wielder who just dodged out of the way.
Only for his feet to be frozen into the ground by a beam of ice by the goat head. It took one hit from his Keyblade to break it. But a fireball smacked straight into him.
Vanitas quickly shook it off, until the snake head sunk into the Unversed's shadow and emerged around his foot. It bit him in the leg, causing him to barely hold in the pain as poison started to course thorough his veins.
But it wasn't enough.
He slammed his Keyblade onto the snake head, disloging it and stunning the Ravenous Hunter.
"Esuna!" He casted before landing a few hits on the Unversed before it recovered.
It's claws were lit a blaze, but Vanitas smoothly dodged each strike. Getting annoyed he tried to hit it, but the goat head let out a blood curdling scream forcing Vanitas to cover his ears.
"Son of a Heartless that hurts!" Vanitas shouted out as he made a note to remove that feature from that head in particular.
The other heads seemed to share this settiment as the snake and lion heads snapped at the goat head, giving Vanitas time to wail on the Unversed. He managed to land a few good hits in before the snake head wrapped around him and tossed him into the air.
Only to be hit by a large fireball and a beam of ice mid air and collapsed to the ground.
Vanitas got himself back up and deflected another fireball from the Ravenous Hunter right into the goat head, causing it to scream out once again.
Vanitas could only cover his ears and swore one of his eardrums must've ruptured as he felt blood on one of his hands. That was going to take all night to heal even with magic.
The Ravenous Hunter rushed at him, it's claws blazing with fire. Vanitas dodged it's charge, but the Unversed swiped at him and a blazing claw tore threw his side.
The ancient Keyblade wielder held in a scream of pain as he saw the damage done to him by the Unversed and saw that his jumpsuit had been cut through, exposing his pitch black flesh and blood.
An explosion of darkness erupted from Vanitas and all three heads of the Unversed quivered in fear, something all but foreign to the horde.
Yet they know what they did.
They broke the number 1 and 2 rules of the horde...which were pretty much the only rules really.
Do not piss of the king, and do not remind the king of what he truly is. Especially the last one!
So the Ravenous Hunter knew that it was it was fucked the moment it's king glared at it from behind his helmet, with darkness rippling off him in waves and his fury spawning a few Floods behind him.
"Congratulations." Vanitas said flatly, causing all Unversed nearby to flinch. "You pushed me to the edge of my limit. So now you get to suffer."
With that, Vanitas trained his Keybalde at the Ravenous Hunter, which tried it's best to run away.
"Slowra!" Vanitas casted, reducing the Unversed's movements to a crawl.
With that, he proceeded to activate his Limit Break. The same one he was perfecting from seeing Roxas's own and Xehanort's training.
Vanitas vanished within a stream of darkness and rushed at the Ravenous Hunter, and did so again and again.
The Unversed could only watch in horror as it's king proceeded to attack it. In it's perspective each and every blow which was a less the a second in reality went on for much longer for it.
Still Vanitas continued vanishing amd reappearing through the streams for a few more hits before stopping.
And unlocking the second part of his Limit Break.
The Void Gear was covered in darkness and Vanitas vanished within another stream of darkness. When he emerged, the spell was broken and the Unversed took the exact sum of the damage earlier.
That was when Vanitas struck. With each swing two pillars of swirling darkness emerged, cutting into the Ravenous Hunter. Vanitas repeated this process several more times before he cut the Limit Break off as the Unversed was on his last legs.
"Not quite there yet, but now I have a sold foundation to work with." Vanitas sighed out as he examined himself.
To him ot was an excellent first test of his Limit Break, but it was missing something. It would take quite sometime for him to finish it out, but for now he was making progress and that was all that mattered.
As for the Unversed it got back up, clearly afraid but it's roars and the fireball it was charging up meant that it was still willing to fight.
"Not quite there either, but you'll get there. Return to the horde for now andI'll sort you out later." Vanitas said as the Unversed exploded in a puff of darkness.
The Ravenous Hunter needed some work, but he was sure that it would make an excellent Unversed and possibly unleash it against the weakling. That would be fun to see.
Vanitas only shook his head as he felt his skin patch itself back together and the suit as well.
Sometimes it did pay to have an inhuman body, but he would be glad to be rid of it once he was complete again.
But for now he just wanted to get some sleep and get rid of the headache and the ruptured eardrum.
Yet there was still work to be done.
Work that will help unravel the secrets of Roxas and one question that he was womdering about for a while.
If Roxas was from the future like he thought, then what happened to him?
Vanitas was interrupted by his musings when he picked up an uproar through the horde. As he deciphered it, the ancient Keyblade wielder could only sigh. He sent a quick word through the horde and calmed them down.
"Looks like I might be seeing Roxas a bit sooner then I thought" Vanitas sighed out as he summoned the book and went to work on fine tuning it.
It still wasn't ready, but it was for the best. He needed to be sure that it would work without fail before implementing his plan.
Though he wouldn't get much of a chance to work on it right now.
The Unversed had discovered a Princess of Light in Radient Garden, a child none the less no older then the one in Agrabah. One that it seems has gotten herself caught in the same plan to lure out and kill the possible thorn in his and the old coot's plans.
While he didn't like it that much, but if they let a woman with a heart stronger the Eraqus's eldest apprentice run around and turn her sights towards them the results would not be pretty.
Still if he was a betting man, then he could guess the girl was possibly the one Roxas would visit next.
So he was interested in seeing what should happen if all three ever meet.
It was something that he believed that he shouldn't miss.
The screen flickers for a bit before you find yourself next to the author.
