A Few Months Ago
The Sanctum of Time
Old Master Xehanort stood at the Sanctum of Time watching on as two of his evil witch allies performed their magic spell.
These two witches were Maleficent the Evil Fairy from the Enchanted Dominion and Magica De Spell, Duck Shadow Sorceress from Toon Town and survivor of her twin brother Poe DeSpell.
As the witches silently chanted their ritual Xehanort took stock of what was currently going on.
Now that Sora and his gang had defeated his Heartless and Nobody Ansem and Xemnas, he was now re-completed and ready to carry out his plans for the upcoming Keyblade War. There, he would forge the most power Keyblade of them all, the genesis of all Keyblades; The X-Blade.
However, for him to forge the legendary X-Blade, he would need Thirteen Darknesses to Clash against Seven Lights. In short, he needed thirteen allies on his side. He himself was one but needed twelve more.
After time traveling to the past to recruit him, his younger self had already re-recruited Saïx, Xigbar, Luxord, Demyx, and the two traitors from the old Organization XIII; Marluxia and Larxene which brought the count up to eight (though technically it was seven as he was planning on having Demyx as a reserve member).
In addition, his past self had recruited a replica version of his Heartless' former vessel; Riku. The body itself was a replica, but the heart inside of it was from the past before it turned on the Organization. Xehanort himself had also obtained his own former vessel Terra: Keyblade wielder and student of his ex-friend; Master Eraqus. He had possessed Terra in the past and it was that body that broke off into Ansem and Xemnas and their defeat re-completed that body too, but Terra's heart was absent as it was sealed within a creature of darkness which provided Xehanort with the perfect opportunity to control the empty body to be one of his seekers. So now the count was up to nine.
He already had plans on creating his next vessel and was making preparations to send his younger self off to collect the heart intended for it. But for the next three, they were being worked on getting revived right now. Maleficent and Magica were making sure of it.
He looked at the two witches who finished their chant just as Young Xehanort and Xigbar walked up.
"Is it working?" YX asked.
"Yes," Xehanort spoke to his younger self. "Did the two of you run into any problems with the others?"
"As if." Xigbar scoffed, "Right now everything is smooth sailing from here."
"Indeed," smirked Xehanort as he turned to the three figures shrouded in auras of darkness that were forming in front of them. "Everything is going swimmingly."
The auras faded away to reveal the identities of these figures.
The first was Ansem: The Heartless of Xehanort
The second was Xemnas: The Nobody of Xehanort
The third was Vanitas: The source of the Unversed and a clone of Ventus: another pupil of Eraqus.
The three of them looked around in concern.
"Where are we?" Vanitas asked.
"You're in the Sanctum of Time." Maleficent spoke, causing all three figures to turn to her.
"Ah, Maleficent, My old Partner." Ansem grinned. "It's quite the pleasure to see you again."
"Likewise," the Evil Fairy spoke. "You haven't changed a bit."
Xemnas was the next to speak. "Why are we here?"
"Why else?" Magica met his response. "We've brought you back for Master Xehanort and his evil plans."
It was then that the revived trio took notice of the old man standing before them.
Wicked smiles crossed their faces upon seeing their old self/master.
"Ah, my beloved Pupil, Vanitas." Xehanort smirked. "Excellent to have you back with us..."
Ansem and Xemnas narrowed their eyes.
"...As well as my other two selves."
They both showed satisfaction.
"I have had Maleficent and Magica resurrect you so you two can help me prepare for the upcoming Keyblade War." He responded. "Together, we will crush the Guardians of Light and control all their worlds in Darkness together."
"Say no more," Vanitas smirked. "I am SO in."
"Same here," Xemnas replied with a small smile.
"I would love nothing more than to plunge these pathetic worlds into Darkness." grinned Ansem.
"Excellent," Xehanort responded as he turned away to look at the sky. "Everything is going to plan."
A few months later
The Altar of Naught
Xehanort stared into the darkened sky with a scowl on his face.
He grumbled "Everything is NOT going to plan."
Things had fallen apart for him over the past few months.
First, Aqua had been rescued from her imprisonment in the Realm of Darkness, which at first he thought he could use to his advantage as she could lead him to Ventus whom Vanitas could fuse with and control, but that all failed due to Sora regaining the Power of Waking and he was able to save Ventus from his clone.
Then, The Guardians of Light managed to rescue Terra from his clutches, and not only that, but they were able to turn Saïx against the Organization as well.
Then his alliance with Thanos bombed due to the Purple Titan betraying the Organization to make his own world outside of theirs.
Overall, Xehanort was betrayed by an ally and was down two vessels. And even though his younger self was already out and about collecting the Data for the 13th Vessel, His plans were failing.
He needed more time. More time to recruit more Seekers and complete his Thirteen before the Guardians were able to pick out their main Seven to send against him.
His inner thoughts were interrupted by footsteps. He turned and was greeted with his past self.
"How did it go?" he asked. Slightly desperate for a positive response.
"It went swimmingly," replied YX. "We were able to grab the heart from the past and bring it here."
Xehanort smirked at this.
YX interjected. "However, it is in a feeble condition, we will need time to develop a body for it and even then we will need to train it to be strong enough to match its genesis form."
Xehanort sighed at this news. Although it could have also gone worse too. He should be lucky that the mission was a success.
"I see, it won't be a problem." He mused. "But something must be done about the other two vessels that were taken from us."
"I can travel to the past and recruit past versions of them." YX suggested. "I can only take their hearts and put them in replicas, though."
"No it won't do any good." Older Xehanort replied. "We've already worn ourselves thin recruiting the other members and besides, who's to say those past members won't turn on us like their present selves did."
YX conceded to this. "True, but what else can we do? We're running out of time and we need two more darknesses."
"I know." Xehanort tried to hold back his frustration. "I just need two more followers of Darkness who I could easily sway to my cause."
"There were many warriors from the past who sided with Darkness," YX replied. "I can continue searching through eras of the past to do so."
"I appreciate the suggestion, my younger self." Xehanort sighed, "But your efforts are needed here...and besides...there were billions of eras with Light and Darkness. Searching for even two new recruits would be like searching for a needle in a haystack. Unless there were some sort of sign that gives us an opportunity, I don't see how-"
At that moment, the ground shook causing both men to tumble to the ground.
They both rose up rubbing their heads.
"What was that?" asked YX.
"I'm not sure." replied Xehanort. "But whatever it was, it didn't sound good..."
"Do you think the Guardians of Light are attacking?" suggested his past self.
Xehanort shook his head. "Probably not, we don't have anything else they would invade this world for. This has to be something that's affecting not just us. But the other worlds as well."
Standing up he used his dark powers to create a magic window to check into this strange happening.
Ocean Between
The whole area that contained the many different worlds began to shake as the unknown anomaly invaded the space.
Floating above them all was a giant purple outline of a Heart, swirling around, crackling with energy.
Then the outline exploded into a beam of light that shot downwards and dispersed into a giant shockwave that spread across the worlds, shaking them as it traveled past.
Immediately, before the wave dissipated, two purple rings of energy from opposite ends of the void began to form outwards, each creating in the middle of them, an image of a different world.
The first one was that of a big town under a Dawn Sky.
The second was that of many large groupings of cities over a vast body of water.
Both portals stood on opposite ends of the Ocean Between, suspended there.
World That Never Was
Xehanort closed the Window in utter shock.
"What...just happened?" YX cried. (1) "How did these two worlds from the past make their way into the present!?"
Xehanort had an answer. "It must have been all that meddling with the past to gather the hearts for our Seekers. By defying the laws of time with the world order, the fabric of the universe broke down and summoned these two worlds here!"
YX looked at him in confusion, like someone who didn't understand something smart a nerd said.
"By messing with the timestream, we created anomalies that resulted from breaking the rules of time!" Xehanort elaborated.
YX still didn't get it.
Xehanort deadpanned. "By taking stuff from the past for the present, these past eras appeared as a side-effect of what we did."
YX got it. "Oh, why didn't you just say that?" he asked. (2)
"I just di-you know what? Nevermind." Xehanort pinched the bridge of his nose.
"What should we do?" his younger self asked. "Should we try and fix this mess or should we let the Guardians of Light do the dirty work?"
"I am not sure," Xehanort replied. "Though this presents us with a great opportunity. The grand opening of these portals to old worlds a perfect sign...though next time a simple flashing light would do. (3)"
YX looked confused. "Huh?"
Xehanort smirked. "You suggested earlier that we should recruit more members from the past for our Seekers, and with these new worlds appearing. We have the chance to do so."
YX shared the evil grin.
"Gather the others," Xehanort ordered his past self. "We shall make preparations to invade these new eras soon."
YX nodded and walked off.
Xehanort turned to the sky with a wicked grin.
"And just how are you going to get yourselves out of this one, Sora and friends?" he asked. "With these words of the past under my command...darkness is sure to reign supreme in the present as well. After all...the present is shaped by the past."
To be continued
Note that I won't just be working on this story but also a second one: A Regular Show/Gravity Falls/Hyrule Warriors crossover to celebrate the 10th anniversary of The Original Hyrule Warriors on the Wii U.
(1) Hyrule Warriors: Tetra's response to the Era of Winds being fused to the Era of Warriors.
(2) Ducktales: Double O Duck; Heron explains here Intelli-ray to Steelbeak
(3) Loud House Spell it out: Lucy finds the silencing spell in Grandma Harriet's spellbook
A few things I changed from J Tom's Branch of Kingdom Hearts
1. Isa, Myde, Hayner, Pence, and Olette Keyblades don't have Keyblades yet (something that will be rectified later on).
2. Xehanort has not made a Replica of Terra-Xehanort to replace the real one and Sephiroth hasn't joined The XIII Seekers of Darkness and will instead be one of their allies (Two others will fill these roles in another story).
3. This won't be seen until another story but I will be including FOUR O,Cs from Ducktales (2017) in my Kingdom Hearts stories. And I will also make a Ducktales Fanfiction about these Original characters for further explanation.
4. April, May, and June will have new appearances and unique voices.
5. The Keyblades Naminé, Minnie, Daisy, Donald, and Goofy (Isa, Myde, Hayner, Pence, and Olette) summon will be different from the ones J Tom writes them with.
