Chapter 17: Twilight Transformation

(Play Back To The Earth (Instrumental) by Starset)

The Space Between Worlds…

"Come on, pass the Sea Salt." A voice said from within a ship, one that had the words TEMPEST on both sides.

"Save some for us." Another voice said as a dark creature resembling a Decepticon flew after the ship, starting to transform.

The dark creature then turned into a large jet, one with multiple cannons, before firing on the ship (Google Yamato Starship)..

"Shields up!"

"Not responding!"

The dark being continued to fire on the ship before unleashing a sonic blast, causing several explosions across the ship.

On the ground of Ever After High, as Rowan was talking with Apple and Raven, until a portal opened in the air. Everyone looked up in shock as the Tempest ship crashed down, landing in the forest.

Present…

Rowan flew alongside Raven as Ravenicus Prime towards the crash site, the smoke still trailing from when the ship was spotted.

"Any word from the crew, Ratchet?" Rowan asked into his Talisman.

"I've tried reaching out to the crew several times," Ratchet replied back at the base. "I've heard a few groans, but no actual response."

"They don't seem like enemies." Rowan said.

"In case they were travelers, we'd better see if they're alright," Ravenicus Prime said before inside of her limo mode, she reached out to her team. "Team Raven, be ready to move in," she ordered. "Bloodhunt may be gone, but we don't know what we could be dealing with."

Soon, Rowan and Ravenicus Prime arrived at the crash site, seeing the Tempest ship. As Rowan landed on the ground, Ravenicus Prime transformed into her robot mode before a light flashed, turning herself back into Raven, her form as Ravenicus Prime retreating back inside of her.

(End Song)

"Well, it doesn't look to be Cybertronian," Rowan said as he and Raven walked to the ship, seeing more smoke and multiple holes. "Got any guesses as to what this could be?"

"No clue," Raven said before noticing a gaping hole. "But I can tell a lot of firepower made these blasts."

"Let's check for the survivors." Rowan said, letting a light shine from his Talisman.

"Apple, Briar and Marylyn are on their way," Raven said as she activated a light from her Talisman as well before they both let out their swords. "With a ship this big, there's bound to be a lot of people in need of medical attention."

Rowan nodded before he and Raven entered. They shone their lights around, seeing several weapons scattered around.

"They were armed," Rowan said before coming across a hallway. "I'm picking up some signatures down there," he said, pointing to a large room at the end. "Scattered, and a lot of them."

"Look at the weapons," Raven said, picking up a red and gold sword. "Swords and blasters. What kind of army was here?"

"Let's find out." Rowan said, leading Raven in further.

Rowan and Raven came into the main room, where a table was knocked over and several party supplies were splattered on the walls.

"Not what I expected," Raven said with an eyebrow raised before she turned to Rowan. "Your guess?"

"Victory celebration?" Rowan guessed. He heard a groaning and walked to the source.

Raven looked around before seeing someone on the ground. Seeing the hair, she gasped and walked towards the unconscious figure.

"Anyone here?" Rowan asked. He heard the groaning again and saw someone in a black and silver coat. He knelt down and turned the figure over, revealing he had spiky blonde hair and a bangle of some sort on his left arm. "Who are you?" he asked.

Raven approached the familiar figure more before kneeling down. She found a collar piece around the figure and turned her around. To her surprise, the figure bore a strong resemblance to her, an exact copy of Raven Queen herself.

"Wait what are Forever After Fighters doing in this place?" Brooke said surprised.

"How is that possible?" The female narrator said equally surprised.

"This is me!" Raven gasped.

"Wait," Rowan said, turning over another person, revealed to be an unconscious Lizzie. "Lizzie Hearts?"

"There," Raven said, aiming her light towards other unconscious people. "Melody Piper? Rosabella Beauty?" she asked before seeing an unconscious Crystal. "Crystal Winter too?!"

"They all look like the same Ever After High students here," Rowan said. "This just got weird."

"Rowan, Raven, come in."

Raven picked up the call. "Go ahead, Apple." She said.

"Briar, Lizzie and I are almost there," Apple said, riding inside of Perceptor while Lizzie and Briar rode inside of Bulkhead. "Anything we need to do when we get there?"

"Stay put," Raven said, unaware that the other Raven was slowly coming to. "Rowan and I found something here, but we need to look further." She said before activating her armor.

"We need to check the ship's log, see what's going on," Rowan said, unaware that the boy he found was waking up as well. "Come on."

Raven nodded as she walked after Rowan. As soon as they were gone, something formed in the boy's hand.

"This is one advanced ship," Raven said, scanning around at the front. "But yet… I'm picking a faint Cybertronian signal from this."

"You saying this is a big Autobot?" Rowan asked, looking to the cockpit controls.

"Don't know," Raven said before seeing an unconscious Ginger, Dexter and another person with messy hair and a sword by his hand at the controls, as well as a girl in green with blonde hair. "Guess there are some faces we're not familiar with here."

"Better check the systems," Rowan said, going to the controls as Raven heard footsteps. "Maybe we can—"

"Heads up!" Raven called.

Rowan turned around to see two weapons flying at him. He summoned his shield and knocked one to the side before using his sword to send the other back.

The blonde spiky-haired boy appeared, catching the thrown weapon. He held out his other hand, summoning the discarded weapon back. Both weapons resembled keys.

"What?" Rowan asked.

"How'd you get in here?"

Raven gasped to see the other Raven Queen walking towards them, aiming out a sword with the symbol of the Rebels on it.

"We don't mean you any harm," Rowan said. "But we need to know who's here."

"By digging through our ship?" the blonde asked. "Were you the Heartless that shot us down?"

"What's a Heartless?" Ravenicus Prime asked (I will be using Ravenicus Prime for my Raven),

"Put down the keys, kid," Rowan said. "There's no need for this to get—"

"Rowan, we're sending more reinforcements," Rodimus Prime said over the Talisman. "Find the survivors and bring them to us."

"Oh man talk about horrible timing." Brooke gulps.

"Liars!" the blonde yelled, running at Rowan.

"Stop!" Rowan swung his sword and blocked with the two key weapons as the blonde struck at him.

"Roxas, hang on!" Raven called out, running at Rowan with her blade drawn.

"We really don't mean any harm!" Ravenicus Prime yelled. She held back her Skybreaker in a reverse-grip and slashed at Raven, causing the two to lock.

"You're not taking any of us!" Raven yelled before pushing Ravenicus Prime away.

Rowan backed away from Roxas as he brought his key swords onto him. He held up his sword and blocked them before cartwheeling backwards, summoning his second sword. As soon as he did, he used his tank scan to summon turrets on his blades and his shoulders.

"I've got those too," Roxas said, letting his weapons glow. "You're gonna regret crossing a Keyblade Wielder."

"Keyblade?" Rowan asked before the Keyblades in Roxas's hands turned into blasters.

"Click… boom." Roxas fired at Rowan, who fired back, countering the blasts.

As this was happening, Apple, Lizzie and Briar noticed the gunfire.

"What's going on?" Lizzie asked.

"You sure Rowan said he's okay?" Briar asked.

"He'd better be," Apple gripped her sword. "Or else we're going in."

Ravenicus Prime flew out the front of the broken window, with Raven following behind her. She fired a blast from her sword, which was blocked by an energy shield.

"Stand down, or else!" Raven exclaimed before jumping up. "Constellation Drive: Pegasus!"

"What the—?!" Ravenicus gasped as Raven gained wings and metal plating across her body. She flew back and slashed at her, but was forced down to the ground, almost in the line of sight of Apple, Briar and Lizzie.

"Would you calm down?!" Rowan exclaimed as Roxas slashed his Keyblades at him. He leapt over the attacks and accessed his jet scan, firing thrusters to keep him at bay.

"You had enough?" Raven asked as she approached Ravenicus.

"Yeah… I have." Ravenicus Prime aimed her Talisman up and leapt into the air.

"What?!" Raven exclaimed, seeing the full body of Ravenicus Prime form, with Ravenicus herself forming the head, and holding the Skybreaker once again.

"Whoa! Can our Raven do that?" Brooke asks startled.

"I don't think so Brooke." The male narrator said.

"Stop this… now!" Ravenicus Prime held Skybreaker into the air and brought down fuchsia energy, which struck all around.

Roxas was about to attack Rowan again until the two noticed what Ravenicus Prime was doing.

"Ditto," Rowan said, throwing his swords and his shield down. "We really mean no harm."

"We've got big friends too," Roxas reached for a device at his side and clicked it, but it only sparked. "Our Digivices…"

"They must've gotten damaged from the crash!" Raven realized. "Looks like we can't use our Digimon here."

"Please… stand down," Ravenicus Prime said, getting to Raven's eye level. "We don't want to fight anymore."

"Raven!"

Ravenicus Prime and Raven Queen turned to see Apple, Briar and Lizzie approaching. Upon seeing the two with Rowan and Roxas, approaching them, they stopped.

"Another Raven?" Briar asked.

"Briar? Apple? Lizzie?" Roxas asked.

Immediately, Apple drew her sword alongside Briar while Lizzie let out her hammer-axe.

"It's okay," Ravenicus Prime said as Raven looked in shock. "They're friendly… sorta."

"When did you get that sword?" Raven asked Apple. "And Briar, what happened to yours? It looks… actually better."

"Ravenicus… who's this?" Briar asked, confusing Raven Queen and Roxas.

"Who's Ravenicus?" Roxas asked.

Rowan walked towards Roxas, who lowered his Keyblades. "We saw a lot of people in that ship," he said. "A lot of them looked like my friends. Where are you from?"

"A place called Ever After High." Roxas replied, shocking Rowan and the Knights.

"That can't be right," Lizzie said. "This is Ever After High."

"Roxas?"

Everyone turned to see some more of the crew, now awake, approach them. There was Blondie, holding a MirrorPad, Ashlynn Ella, a tall teen with spiky red hair, another Briar Beauty, another Apple White, Sparrow Hood, a girl with short black hair, a boy with a blue coat and blonde hair, and another Daring Charming.

"Alistair?" Lizzie asked as she aimed her weapon. "How'd you get out of Wonderland?"

"Lizzie?" Alistair asked.

"Ashlynn?" Briar asked. "But you were with Prowl."

"Who?" Ashlynn asked.

"This is… out of this world." Blondie said, recording with her MirrorPad.

"I think we really are," Roxas said, surprising his group. "Remember when that Drake guy came to Monster High?"

"He was from a different Monster High." The black-haired girl realized as another girl with short blonde hair came out.

"What's going on?" the blonde girl asked.

"Naminé, you okay?" Raven asked.

"That means…" Alistair said, his eyes going wide.

"This here is another version of Ever After High!" the other Daring exclaimed.

Ravenicus Prime sighed in relief before somersaulting into the air. Roxas and his friends watched as she landed, now as Raven Queen, with her Transformer body retreating into her Talisman.

"Um…" Raven said, walking to Ravenicus. "Hi?"

"I think we need to talk," Ravenicus said as the other Autobots started to arrive and soon transform. "Your Ship's pretty banged up from that crash."

"Why am I seeing double?" Rodimus Prime asked.

"It's… complicated." Rowan shrugged.

"Giant robots," Roxas said surprised. "I guess we were overdue for that."

"That sounds just about right." Blondie said, still recording.

Inside of the ship, everyone else slowly started to get up. Some of Roxas's group went to check on them while Roxas and the others were speaking to Rowan and the Knights.

"We're known as the Forever After Fighters," Roxas explained. "And our ship is called the Tempest."

"That's a big one if I ever saw one," Bulkhead said as both Briars looked at him. "And I've lived to see a lot in the past millennia."

"How'd you crash?" Rowan asked.

"We were traveling worlds, long story," Roxas started to explain. "Just came back from saving one of them, a Wonderland different from the one your and my friends from their respective Wonderlands are used to, until something, a mechanical Heartless that turned into a warship, attacked us."

"It must have been a Decepticon of some sort." Ravenicus assumed.

"And the next thing we knew, we found you two at the cockpit, trying to get into our systems." Raven accused.

"We were trying to save you, it was a crash from the sky," Marylyn said, approaching them with Arcee. "A thank-you would at least be nice."

"Right, sorry," Roxas rubbed the back of his neck. He held his hand out to Rowan. "Thanks for answering to the crash. I'm Roxas, by the way. Roxas Twilight."

"Rowan Twain," Rowan shook Roxas's hand. "Son of King Arthur."

"Wait, really?" Daring asked.

"You've met our Raven, Apple, Briar and Lizzie already," Rowan gestured before Marylyn came forward. "This is Marylyn Merlin."

"Pleasure to meet you." Marylyn nodded.

"King Arthur and Merlin's kids are here," the other Apple mused. "I can't believe this."

"We don't have those kids in our Ever After High." The male narrator said.

"I think there's more differences in this world than just giant robots." The female narrator said.

"Almost everyone is up," Alistair said, coming out of the hole in the Tempest. "But the Tempest doesn't look like it's going anywhere."

"We can't fix it here," Rowan said. "If anything, Megatron could have seen that."

"And Starscream and the Seekers could be here to check it out." Lizzie added on.

"Who's that?" Roxas asked. "And what are your friends?"

"And these Decepticons you mentioned?" the other Briar asked.

"It's a long story," Rowan said before calling into his Talisman. "Ratchet, we need a really big Ground Bridge. About ninety-five or a hundred and twenty meters long and fifty meters wide."

"Give us a moment to clear one of the rooms," Ratchet said. "And prepare coordinates."

"We'll be here when you're ready," Rowan said before looking back to Roxas. "Got a cloaking device on the ship?" he asked as he heard a distant whirring. "We need to hide this from what's coming."

"Damaged," the Dexter that Rowan and Ravenicus found said, coming out. "At best, we have some shields working. Nothing else."

"Leave this to me." Mirage said, stepping up. He placed his hands on the ground and started to glow.

"What's he doing?" Blondie asked.

"Mirage, you're good, but I don't think you can cloak the whole area." Apple said, concerned.

"Watch me!" Mirage strained before letting out a large wave.

Soon, Starscream flew overhead with Thundercracker and Skywarp with him. They arrived just as the Tempest disappeared from their sight.

"Nothing here," Skywarp said as everyone on the ground remained quiet. "Guess those black-coated humans were wrong."

"I'm not convinced," Starscream said as he flew around. "You remember what the red-haired harlot said."

"They're talking about the Organization!" Ashlynn whispered.

Starscream, Thundercracker and Skywarp circled around one more time before they flew back. However, before they could fully turn, Thundercracker stopped.

"Wait," Thundercracker turned back around and flew down a little, getting the Autobots, the Knights and the Forever After Fighters to all hold their breaths. "How does a ship that big just disappear?" he asked before transforming as Starscream and Skywarp flew after him, transforming as well. "And especially with so much smoke trailing?"

"Let's see if there's something there after all!" Skywarp reached behind his back and took out a glowing mace.

"There!" Roxas's Apple took out a scepter and pointed it away from everyone, creating an illusion of Naminé on some sort of speeder before revving up, getting the attention of the Seekers.

"There!" Thundercracker aimed his cannon and fired at the Naminé illusion before she raced off.

"Follow that human!" Starscream ordered before he and the Seekers all transformed to give chase.

The other Apple continued to hold out her scepter, making the illusion go faster. As soon as it raced off, she lowered her staff, getting everyone to sigh in relief.

"Nice trick." Rowan panted.

"Thanks." The other Apple said.

"We'd better get these repairs done," the other Dexter said. "Because from how they were, I doubt they'll stay fooled."

"Rowan, we have a situation."

"Hit me, Ratchet." Rowan answered his Talisman.

"Nothing in the base can support the size you gave," Ratchet said back at the Autobot Base. "And due to our last Ground Bridge usage, it seems that the Decepticons are using some new method to be able to track any of the users."

"What does that mean?" Rowan asked.

"If you were trying to bring the ship to the base, it'll not only cause destruction, but expose us to the Decepticons," Ratchet said, causing the Forever After Fighters to wince. "If you can have Perceptor stay there, repairs can be done quicker, but it can't be done here."

"But the same does not have to apply for any of the survivors you have found," Optimus Prime's voice said. "Rowan, bring as many as you can back to the base, but leave some of the Knights with the other survivors to ensure the repairs go underway as hastily as Perceptor can assist them with."

"Got it," Rowan nodded before looking to Perceptor. "Think you can help out Dexter 2?" he asked.

"I will do my best." Perceptor nodded.

"Okay, we need a team," the other Lizzie said. "Unfortunately, my cards all got scattered in the crash."

"It's okay," Roxas reassured. "Apple, Briar, Raven, Ashlynn, Naminé, Xion, Lea and Blondie will go with me. The rest of you, stay here, and help out these Autobots as much as you can."

"I'll get a few of my Knights to rendezvous with your remaining team when we get to base," Rowan said as Rodimus Prime, Bulkhead, Hound, Wheeljack and Bumblebee transformed. "Some of us will double up in the Autobots."

"But that's still too many for five vehicles." The other Apple said.

"That's why you have me." Ravenicus grinned.

"Um… what do you—?"

Before Raven could finish, Ravenicus let out her Cybertronian form, surprising the others, before their surprise grew once she transformed into her limo form.

"Whoa!" Alistair gaped.

"What the—?!" the other Apple exclaimed.

"What?" Ravenicus Prime asked as she appeared in her armored form from the driver's seat. "It's separate from my real body. And there's room for everyone too."

"That's… just right… out of this world." Blondie said, still in surprise.

Roxas nodded. "Okay, let's go," he said before turning to Rowan. "So, what are the arrangements?"

"You're with me in Rodimus," Rowan gestured to Rodimus Prime. "The others double up depending on who they choose to go with, and the rest ride in Ravenicus Prime."

"Got it," Roxas nodded before turning back to the Dexter who came with him. "Dex, if the others ask, none of the Digivices are working. We go back when we started, without any Digimon for this world."

"Gonna be a rough adjustment, but you know best." Dexter 2 replied.

"Roxas, I did a head count," Daring said as he walked over. "I think some of the others fell out during the crash." He said, surprising Roxas and Rowan.

"Who's missing?" Roxas asked.

"There's Cerise, Amora, Riku and Sora," Daring said. "We can't pin them down anywhere."

"Wait… how did this happen?" the other Briar asked. "We're smarter than this! How could we have let four of our own just disappear like that?"

"Plot convenience." Briar replied.

"Right… stupid question." The other Briar said awkwardly.

"Don't worry, I'll have the rest of the Knights help search for them," Rowan said. He noticed a worried expression on Roxas's face and patted him on the shoulder. "Hey, if your friends are anything like us, they'll be able to handle themselves. We're not gonna let anything happen to you."

"Thank you, Rowan," Roxas said before looking to his group. "Let's go!"

Both Briars approached Bulkhead, who opened his car doors to allow them inside. As soon as he did, Roxas's Apple got into Ravenicus Prime with Raven, Apple and Blondie, Lea with Lizzie and Marylyn in Hound, and Naminé and Xion with Ashlynn inside of Bumblebee.

"Roll Out." Ravenicus Prime ordered, leading everyone back to the Autobot Base.

Aboard the Nemesis, Megatron waited with Young Xehanort, Mira Shards and Vernax. Soon, Starscream, Thundercracker and Skywarp flew to them, transforming in the air before landing on the deck.

"Did you find the Forever After Fighters from the crash?" Mira Shards asked.

"We were drawn away by what appeared to be one of the humans," Thundercracker said. "But she literally disappeared before we could grab her."

"Misdirection. A useful tactic," Megatron mused. "It seems you were right about these humans, Xehanort. They are formidable opponents."

"Do not underestimate them, Mighty Megatron," Young Xehanort said. "Nine of them wield powerful weapons. They are called Keyblades."

"I have heard of the legends," Megatron said. "I welcome a challenge from any of them."

"It would have been eight had I succeeded with Roxas Twilight," Mira Shards said, causing Vernax to roll her eyes. "Had my spell not been disrupted a year ago—"

"A spell that would have poisoned the boy?" Megatron asked. "And here, I thought your Organization were no cowards."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Mira Shards narrowed her eyes.

"As a warrior, you know where you stand in terms of strength," Megatron said as Starscream walked up behind him. "A lowly coward would kill someone in their sleep. A true warrior would have the ball bearings to do it to their face, and from what you just said, Mira Shards… I see only a coward."

"You got that right," Vernax chuckled. "She had two schools after her, Ever After High and its sister school, Monster High. The moment they decided to go hunt her down, she hid away from them. Never bothered to fight three Keyblade Wielders, or even three combined with those from Monster High."

"I'm not the Master," Mira Shards glared. "I can't take them all on and walk away."

"It would seem cowardice reeks from this human, my lord." Starscream sneered.

"Indeed," Megatron said before looking to Young Xehanort. "If you expect to gain my trust, I expect to see that cowardice is not a common trait among your ranks. Whether it be with the real Xehanort, with Mira Shards, or even with you." He glared before walking away.

Young Xehanort turned to the Decepticons before summoning his Keyblade, which he aimed at Mira Shards.

"Fix this," Young Xehanort ordered. "We need that Dark Energon for our future plans."

Mira Shards nodded before Young Xehanort walked away.

"See you in hell, Shards." Vernax grinned before walking away with Young Xehanort.

"Wow these Decepticons really do things differently than the Organization and Maleficent." Brooke said.

On the path leading to the Autobot Base, Roxas and his team of Forever After Fighters were looking around with awe.

"Wow," Blondie said, recording everything. "This is really something else."

"I'll say," Raven said, gazing at the interior of the limo mode of her other counterpart. "I've never seen anything like this."

"Trust me, you'll love it when she flies." Apple smiled.

"You're awfully eager to be a part of this," the other Apple mused. "I take it you did something different from what I did."

"It's… complicated," Apple said. "I made a lot of bad choices before Thronecoming, and they cost Ravenicus her life. It was only a miracle that she came back as Ravenicus Prime."

"How should we call you?" Ravenicus Prime asked through the divider window, opening up the visor on her helmet. "Apple White 1 and Apple White 2?"

"For me, you know what to do," Apple said as the other Apple looked to her. "I'll stay as Apple Knight until this blows over."

"Apple Knight?" Apple White asked.

Apple Knight sighed. "I was focusing too much on my destiny, never really paying much mind to the other things. Like how life changed with the Autobots around, or that my Raven had her own new destiny set for her," she explained, getting Raven's attention. "The moment I let my ego get the better of me, I was taken over, and I was never the same."

"Taken over?" Apple White asked.

"The first Decepticon, Megatronus the Fallen, used my body as his vessel to enact his revenge," Apple Knight explained. "My Raven was able to free me, but then Megatron attacked, and nearly ended her life. I vowed to forever change my ways the moment I was chosen to become a Knight of Iacon."

"Wow, that's rough." Blondie said.

"You said it," Apple White said. "And I went through a longer time before I changed too."

"It's tough, trust me," Raven said before turning to Ravenicus Prime. "You had another destiny?" she asked.

Ravenicus Prime nodded. "I'm reincarnated from the original Ravenicus Prime," she explained. "My destiny is to fight for the freedom of all sentient beings."

"Wow," Raven mused. "I can't believe you got a destiny for everyone while I got my mother's destiny."

"You signed for Mom?" Ravenicus Prime asked.

"Oh, right," Raven Queen realized. "You just got past Thronecoming. You're not where we are yet. Sorry."

Inside of Bulkhead, Roxas's Briar was fixing something around her neck. Briar turned to her, seeing a small vial now acting as a necklace, as well as some of her hair braided back.

"Trying to distinguish yourself?" Briar asked.

"This was a gift from Roxas," the other Briar felt the vial with her hand. "The potion was used up, but I keep the vial as a reminder from him."

"That's real nice." Briar smiled.

"Hey, Briar?" Bulkhead asked.

"YES?" both Briars asked before looking to each other, blushing with embarrassment.

"Um… my Briar," Bulkhead clarified. "I mean, she doesn't belong to me, she's just my human partner."

"Yeah, we got it, Bulk," Briar said. "What is it?"

"I've been thinking ever since Arcee got reformatted," Bulkhead started out. "I went and tried to see what could be done for me, to make myself better for the team," he went on before showing a display on his screen, showing a layout of a newer version of his body. "What do you think? I'm not sure myself if I want to go through with it, and wanted to get your opinion."

"Wow," Briar said as the other Briar looked in amazement as well. "New Alt Mode, increased defense, and a few extra guns," she noted. "This spells 'Wrecker' all over it, Bulk."

"Why are you so hesitant?" the other Briar asked.

"Well, as Ratchet said, the process is irreversible, and I'm not sure if I completely want to go through with the change," Bulkhead said. "On one servo, it helps the team, but on the other…"

"You're afraid it's gonna make you completely different from who you were before." The other Briar realized.

"You know the feeling of not liking change too, huh?" Briar asked.

The other Briar nodded. "I freeze up at the thought of change, especially for if I follow my destiny."

"If you're anything like Briar Basher here, you probably sent that Storybook of Legends away." Bulkhead mused.

"I like that, Briar Basher." Briar mused.

"Well, Ms. Basher, I suppose you know it'll only be a matter of time before the others find out what you did with the book?" Briar Beauty asked.

"They find out it was you?" Briar Basher asked.

"I tell them," Briar Beauty said. "But listen before you go ahead and do it. First, there's a time and place for it. Second, change is inevitable," she went on. "I started out my year as a narcoleptic princess, who only used a staff in battle," she said. "Later, I was bequeathed a pirate's sword, and now the change has never felt so good," she said. "You both should be grateful for what comes after the change. It'll make things better for yourself… and your friends too."

"Thanks, Beauty." Bulkhead said.

"Yeah," Briar Basher said. "I needed that too."

Inside of Rodimus Prime, Rowan was watching as Roxas kept a close eye out the window. Knowing what was on his mind, he tapped him on the shoulder.

"Hey," Rowan said, getting Roxas to turn to him. "Doing alright? Not too bumpy, is it?" he asked.

"No, it's fine," Roxas replied. "Rodimus Prime is great."

"Thanks, but that's not what he meant." Rodimus Prime said.

"Look, I know you're thinking about your friends, especially Cerise and that other girl," Rowan said. "Amora, you said her name is?"

"Yeah," Roxas nodded. "Let's just say I have feelings for them, and a lot of other girls too."

"How does that work, a harem?" Rowan asked. "So far, I've got my share of girls having an eye for me, but I don't think it'll work out at this time."

"You're undecided on who to choose?" Roxas asked.

"No, I called off any relationships," Rowan replied, surprising Roxas. "We've been fighting with the Autobots for a while, and I've become aware that a lot of girls like me. But when our school got involved in the war with the Decepticons, I couldn't let any of us get distracted, so I had to tell them that I couldn't afford to be in any relationships until we're safer," he went on. "It was hard, but it was what I had to do."

"Well, you want my advice?" Roxas asked as Rowan turned to him. "I know these relationships we form can get in the way, but I was once a guy without a heart, literally," he said. "When I formed my bonds with eight girls, which included my Apple, Briar and Cerise, I started to see what I had been fighting for, and it opened my heart to five others too," he went on. "You may be in a war with the Decepticons, but right now, me and the Forever After Fighters are part of a greater war that could make all others in every other world look less significant… no offense to how far you must've come so far already."

"No, I get it," Rowan said. "But each time I would look at some of the girls who have it bad for me, I can hardly focus. Same goes for them, they focus on gaining my favor, and I don't like it when we fight among ourselves."

"You have to open your eyes and your heart to them," Roxas advised. "The stronger the bonds, the stronger you will get."

Rowan smiled and held out his fist. "You're a cool dude, Roxas." He said.

"You too." Roxas said, bumping Rowan's fist with his own.

"Heh kinda ironic hearing that from you Roxas." Brooke chuckles.

"Shut up." Roxas growls.

"Uh who are you talking to?" Rowan asks.

"Hold up!" Hound called out, stopping ahead.

Ravenicus Prime and Rodimus Prime both stopped, getting everyone on alert.

"What is it?" Roxas asked as Rodimus Prime and Ravenicus Prime both rolled up to Hound.

"'Con patrol," Hound said as everyone saw several Vehicons patrolling around. "Cloak your signatures, or they'll catch us."

"That's not that much." Briar Basher whispered.

"You're willing to take them on, even when they're several bodies bigger than you?" Briar Beauty asked, surprised. "You really are a Wrecker, whatever those are."

"I agree with your Briar," Roxas said to Rowan. "We've never backed down from a fight, and these guys make no—"

All of a sudden, the Vehicons parted, revealing Flip Side, armed with twin blades and a shield over her left arm.

"What the spell?" Blondie asked, zooming in with her MirrorPad.

"Melody Piper?" Roxas asked, surprised. He suddenly saw the Cybertronian side of her face. "Wait… that can't be her."

"She's called Flip Side, a Decepticon Infiltrator," Rowan whispered. "At the start of the year, she captured and impersonated Melody, taking on her appearance. Then Melody broke free, and at the climax of their fight, she damaged her so much that Flip Side got stuck with half of Melody's appearance, leaving her like that for God knows how long."

"So that's a Decepticon with part of a human face?" Roxas asked, concerned.

Rowan looked to Roxas and noticed sweat coming from his forehead. "She's one of the thirteen, isn't she?" he asked.

"How many more are like that?" Roxas asked, answering non-verbally.

"She's the only one," Rowan said. "But if we cross paths with her while you're still here, I'll make sure you don't clash. I can tell it must be getting difficult for you already, so I promise you that you will never have to face her as long as the Knights of Iacon live."

"Flip Side to Megatron," Flip Side said as the Autobots cloaked themselves. "No sign of the wreckage, or the crew. But if Xehanort is right, we will double our search."

"Horton who?" Marylyn asked as the Forever After Fighters gasped.

"They mentioned Xehanort." Raven said.

"That means one thing." Apple White said.

"The Decepticons and the Organization are working together." Roxas pieced together.

"Megatron is a warrior with a code," Rodimus Prime said. "And he has a thing against humans, barely able to even tolerate Flip Side. If he sided with this group of yours, it wouldn't be without a good reason."

"The Organization always wants something from every world they go to," Roxas said. "Sometimes it's a creature, the remains of enemies we took down from there, anything," he went on. "Anything here that they would want from this Megatron?"

Rowan nodded quietly as Flip Side led the Vehicons away. "One thing comes to mind," he said before the Decepticon patrol was out of sight. "Let's move."

"Base isn't too far from here," Rodimus Prime said as Bumblebee helped him lead the way. "Share with us what you know there."

"Up ahead," Bumblebee said, leading everyone the rest of the way. "We should be good from there."

"Wait," Marylyn said as her staff glowed. "I'm picking up a strong magical presence nearby," she said before tapping the dashboard. "Hound, stop!"

"Stopping, Lil' Merlin," Hound said as he stopped, with the other Autobots waiting up ahead. "Tell us what ya got."

"It's not familiar with any I've come across, but it's strong as hell." Marylyn said.

"How strong are we talking here?" Rowan asked.

"Like supernova strong." Marylyn said.

"That's got to be your friend." Lizzie said.

"Amora!" Naminé realized.

"Picking up something else," Bumblebee said as Xion and Naminé looked to his monitor. "Some sort of corrupted Decepticon signals. Nothing like what we've faced."

"How is that possible?" Ravenicus Prime asked.

"Look at the Keyblade," Lea said, summoning his Keyblade, which had a fiery design to it. "It doesn't usually react like this."

"Rowan, the signal it getting closer!" Marylyn called out.

"Wait," Roxas's eyes widened. "Everyone out!"

"You heard him!" Apple White yelled.

Everyone ran out of the Autobots, who all transformed. Immediately, Roxas summoned his two Keyblades, with Ashlynn, Xion, Naminé and Lea letting theirs out as well.

"There's more now?" Rowan asked, surprised.

With the Keyblades drawn, Apple White let out a scepter, Raven with her sword and Briar Beauty with her mentioned pirate sword. All Blondie did was take cover and hold out her MirrorPad.

"What about you?" Briar Basher asked.

"Let's just say she's not much of a fighter." Ashlynn said in reply.

"Yeah, same with ours." Briar Basher said.

Rowan summoned his sword, with Ravenicus Prime, Apple Knight and Briar Basher doing the same. Lizzie took out her hammer-axe while Marylyn let out both of her staffs.

"Let's try this out." Briar Basher tapped her Talisman, selecting her tank scan. Soon, turrets appeared from her back that folded onto her shoulders before more cannons appeared, finishing with them on her sword.

"Whoa," Briar Beauty said. "How'd you do that?"

"A Knight trick," Rowan said before Roxas looked up ahead. "What is it?"

"Heartless!" Roxas yelled. "Incoming!"

Everyone stood ready before several dark clouds flew in. They immediately formed into Transformers with red eyes, and with decayed appearances of random Decepticons, some being jets with the other being tanks.

"That's not like any Heartless that I've ever seen before." Ashlynn said in surprise.

"Wait," Bumblebee said as he and the rest of the Autobot company armed themselves. "I remember them… from the Sea of Rust."

"Sparkless?" Bulkhead asked, surprised.

"You told us about that tale once," Briar Basher said as Briar Beauty looked to her. "What are they?"

"Transformers who lost their sparks during the Great War," Wheeljack said. "All in the Sea of Rust, where all the corpses were reanimated, searching for sparks to fill their hunger."

"And those same ones made their way here, it looks like," Hound said. "Not willing to let them dine on us again." He said, taking out two pistols.

"Same here," Lea said, placing his Keyblade on his shoulder. "I've got better things to do tonight than die."

"Firaga!" Apple called out, sending forth a wave of fire from her scepter.

The Heartless Sparkless roared as they were sent back from the attack. However, they got back up and aimed, starting to take fire.

"Sparkless couldn't do that before!" Rodimus Prime's optics widened.

"Roll!" Ravenicus Prime ordered.

Everyone got out of the way before Roxas leapt into the air, his Keyblades leaving a trail of energy in his wake. He spun around and kicked off of a tree before landing several strikes on one of the Sparkless, causing it to fire at him before barrel-rolling out of the way.

Lizzie backed away from two Sparkless about to fire at her. She let them shoot, allowing their blasts to be absorbed by her Energon weapon before dispersing it back at them. One attempted to slam its fist onto her, but she rolled out of the way before cartwheeling to the side, where she and Ashlynn landed back to back with each other.

"Try this!" Ashlynn called, spinning her Stroke of Midnight Keyblade around. "Valor Drive!"

Ashlynn's outfit turned to red as several Sparkless fired at her. She leapt up and sent their blasts back before twirling to the ground, where she slashed one's leg off.

"Let me guess, Heartless take on the appearance of anything?" Rowan asked Roxas before backflipping from several blasts and performing a three-point landing next to the Keyblade Wielder.

"They're born from the darkness in other hearts," Roxas explained. "But yeah, they can be made from others. They're always a pain in the ass for me and my friends."

"Welcome to Decepticon Combat 101." Apple Knight said as several Sparkless charged at her.

"Look out!" Apple White called out.

"I got this." Apple Knight grinned. She slammed onto her Talisman, summoning jet wings before dashing through them at high speed. She landed and somersaulted in the air before tossing one of the wings at a nearby Sparkless about to attack Raven.

"You're good!" Raven Queen complimented before cartwheeling backwards from several strikes. "Dark Strike!" she called out, using her sword to send forth several dark energy slashes.

"Nice sword." Ravenicus Prime complimented as she used her blaster to shoot away more of the Sparkless.

"It's called the Rebellia Blade," Raven replied. "What's yours?"

"The Skybreaker." Ravenicus Prime replied, taking out the Skybreaker. She flew up, shooting more of the Sparkless down before sending out several sonic slashes of her own, destroying them.

"Save some for us!" Rodimus Prime let out his Eternal Flame Calibur, slashing at several Sparkless before taking out his blaster. Aiming it, he fired at them before sending out flames to keep them away.

"I like your style!" Lea grinned before catching some of the flames into his Flame Liberator. He spun it around and leapt into the air, where he struck at the ground to cause more of the Sparkless to fly back.

"Zero Graviga!" Xion called out, aiming her Sunset By The Sea Keyblade at the midair Sparkless.

"Ah yeah!" Wheeljack grinned and ran at the suspended Sparkless. Leaping up, he twirled around and slashed through them all, causing them to explode.

"Nice!" Naminé smiled as she and Ashlynn tapped their Keyblades against each other. "But try this out!"

"MEMORY DANCE!" Ashlynn and Naminé both called out, causing glass shards to appear everywhere in front of ten Sparkless. Grinning, they leapt through each one, slashing across the Sparkless before landing on the ground in three-point landings, just as they faded away.

"Keep it going!" Hound called, shooting at more Sparkless before Bumblebee aimed his arm out. A clawed blaster appeared, which he used to shoot away the Sparkless before ramming another with his shield. As another tried to attack him from behind, he used his sword to stab it before stabbing another one of the Sparkless about to attack him from the side.

"Only a few more!" Bulkhead yelled as he fired at more of the Sparkless before letting out his wrecking ball. He ran forward and slammed them away before Briar Basher leapt up, firing at them into oblivion.

"More incoming!" Marylyn called, sending forth spells from her staffs as several smaller Heartless approached.

"Normal Heartless too?" Roxas asked. "I guess we need to stay here for a little longer."

Rowan chuckled before Marylyn gasped.

"I think we're about to get help." Marylyn grinned.

Everyone saw a green glow from behind the bushes before an explosion went off. From it came a girl with green clothing and blonde hair, somersaulting away from the explosion before landing, where the Heartless surrounded her.

"Ultima!" the girl called out, sending out a sonic wave of magic that caused the Heartless to fade away.

"Amora!" Roxas yelled happily.

"There's the blooming powerhouse right there!" Marylyn smiled.

"More help incoming!"

"This is amazing!" Blondie said as she recorded everything. She suddenly saw a shadow and turned around to see several Heartless leaping at her. Before she could flinch, Miko ran out and slashed at each of the Heartless, but none of them fell. That was until she landed and sheathed her swords, causing them to explode into dark mist.

"Coming in!" Ali's voice called out.

Briar Beauty clashed with a Heartless before seeing more Sparkless approach. However, Ali walked in from behind her and with her lamp blaster, shot them down.

"Try this!"

"That voice!" Ashlynn gasped.

Duchess Swan appeared in the air, sending forth several blasts from her shoes, in the shape of feathers. They danced around before she spun at them, sending forth an aurora of lights that destroyed the very last of the dark forces.

"Sorry for the delay," Miko said as she got up, Duchess and Ali joining them. "When we saw the ship, we each split up to see what was happening. Some of us saw other things flying down."

"So they went to check them out too," Ali finished up. "I hope Darling's okay."

"Those would be our friends," Roxas said as Amora walked over to him, hugging him immediately. "You okay?"

"I fell on my back and would have been laying for dead had these three not shown up in time," Amora replied. "They'd give Sif a run for her money, I'll tell you that."

"Roxas, Forever After Fighters," Rowan said as Duchess, Ali and Miko turned. "Meet some of our other friends. We've got a few that aren't Knights, but still help out in the fight against the Decepticons."

"Duchess Swan, at your service." Duchess curtsied.

"I reckoned," Ashlynn smiled. "It'll get confusing, but I welcome a friendly face."

"Ali Night, daughter of Aladdin." Ali introduced herself, surprising the Forever After Fighters.

"Wait, someone from our Ever After High looks like you," Apple White said as Ali tilted her head curiously. "I can't believe we never put it together she could've been the daughter of Aladdin."

"And what about you?" Xion asked Miko.

"Miko Long, adopted daughter of Hua Mulan." Miko said, nodding in respect.

"And Mulan's daughter too?!" Raven Queen asked, surprised as well.

"Huh?" Miko asked. "You've met my mother, the General of the army?"

"Well, we know her differently," Roxas said. "Let's just say you're popular among the Rebels from where we come from."

"Ah, so you all must be from the other Ever After High that Rowan told us about," Miko replied. "It seems we might have some people we don't have for both sides. Here, I'm a bit of a Royal who's popular among the Rebels."

"Ah, I see," Amora said. "Well, thank you again, new friends."

"Any time," Duchess nodded before turning to Rowan. "You'd better get back to the base," she said. "We'll keep a lookout for any more of these creeps."

"I don't think I'll be of much help to you," Amora groaned as Roxas turned to her. "As I said, I fell on my back. Gonna take me a while to be at full strength."

"I got you covered," Wheeljack transformed back into his vehicle mode and opened his doors. "Get her in. I'll bring her back to the ship."

"Not alone," Naminé said as she stepped up. "I'll accompany them back, make sure no other Heartless or Sparkless attack us on the way, then I'll bring back a few more of the Forever After Fighters to help us out."

"We'll give you Ground Bridge coordinates so that you're not tracked," Rowan said. "Limited uses only. We're not risking anything with the current situation."

"Got it." Naminé nodded.

"Stay safe." Roxas said, walking up to Naminé.

"You know it." Naminé blushed before pecking Roxas on the cheek.

"What about with us?" Briar Basher asked Rowan.

"Like I said before… I don't really know." Rowan said as the Autobots transformed again.

Soon, Wheeljack set off back to the Tempest, carrying Naminé and Amora inside of him. As soon as he did, the Autobots took the Knights and Forever After Fighters to the Autobot Base.

Soon, the convoy made their way past the checkpoint, and entered the Autobot Base. All of the Forever After Fighters looked around with awe before seeing the rest of the Autobots in front of them, as well as holographic projections of the other Knights of Iacon and their allies.

"I see you all made it safely," Ratchet said as everyone got out, allowing for the Autobots to transform. "I was starting to worry after we received those strange signatures."

"It's gonna take more than the Sparkless to take us out, Ratch," Bulkhead grinned. "And by the way… I'd like to go for that Reformatting before I head out again."

"As you wish." Ratchet nodded.

"Forever After Fighters, welcome to the Autobot Base," Rowan said. "The big green guy welcoming us is Ratchet, the medical officer."

"Let me guess," Ashlynn placed her hand to her chin. "He turns into… an ambulance?"

"Not that hard to guess, given what his profession is." Rowan chuckled.

"Rowan," Roxas said, getting Rowan's attention. "You said you had a theory as to what the Organization could be after before. What is it?"

"It would probably be best for us to learn more about you first."

All the Forever After Fighters turned to see Optimus Prime approaching.

"And this is the leader of the Autobots," Rowan gestured. "Optimus Prime."

"It is a pleasure to meet you," Optimus Prime nodded. "Never before have I encountered alternate versions of our human allies… nor have I seen them wield powerful weapons like yours."

"It's called the Keyblade," Roxas said, showing off Oblivion and Oathkeeper again. "They come in different forms."

"I can see that," Ravenicus Prime said, feeling her Talisman hand. "And it seems my Talisman must be responding to that same power too."

"So, what do you know of these new allies that Megatron has sided with?" Thunderhowl asked.

"They're called Organization XIII," Roxas explained. "They're led by a man named Xehanort. He distributed his heart among thirteen others, his vessels. We always come across them when we travel, always searching for something."

"Anything to accelerate their plans," Xion went on. "To take a power known as Kingdom Hearts."

"And what is that?" a hologram of Hunter asked.

"From legend, it can only be harnessed by the clash of the thirteen vessels of darkness and the seven hearts of light," Lea continued. "Once all clash, it can grant an immense power to plunge everything into darkness; to reshape reality as the user sees fit."

"Xehanort wants it, and that's why we have to stop him." Roxas finished.

"This is most concerning," Optimus Prime said. "Especially since there is a good possibility of what they could be after," he said as he turned to Rowan. "Do we share the same thoughts?"

"Yeah," Rowan nodded. "The Organization wants power, and if it's darkness they want, they'll be wanting the one thing Megatron and the Decepticon army has… Dark Energon."

"The blood of Unicron in the hands of those humans?" Marylyn asked. "That's not a good thought."

"What's Energon?" Apple White asked.

"The life source of all Cybertronians," Bumblebee explained. "And our energy resource of Cybertron. It can be made from any resource on this planet."

"But Dark Energon bled from the Chaos-Bringer, Unicron," Optimus Prime went on. "It can reanimate the dead. From what we have heard, it would seem this Xehanort would want it so that he can bring back any forces you Forever After Fighters might have slain."

"Like Ifrit." Raven realized.

"Or think of what could happen if he brings back every Nobody, Heartless and Unversed we defeated," Apple White went on. "He could even bring back Davy Jones, that disgraceful Fairy Godmother, or worse too."

"It seems you've made a lot of enemies." Rowan said, his eyes wide.

"Trust me, you do not want to know." Briar Beauty rolled her eyes.

"With the Organization here, the Heartless will keep coming," Roxas said. "But there's a way to stop them."

"What would that be?" Jazz asked.

"There's a thing in each World known as a Keyhole," Roxas explained. "It's usually hidden by something of great importance, but if we can find it, I or another of the Keyblade Wielders in my team can seal it, thus negating any growing darkness here."

"It's a bit of a long shot…" one head of Rack 'N Ruin said.

"But I say go for it." The other head of Rack 'N Ruin finished up.

"We do not know much of this, but if you can seal our world from the Heartless and the Sparkless, we would be honored," Optimus Prime said. "But we must find out more about our enemy first."

"Come to think of it, the Decepticons with Flip Side seemed to be different than other Vehicons." Ali pointed out.

"They looked a bit like how the Heartless were," Miko went on. "All black with trailing mist and red glowing eyes, but could still transform."

"That could explain what the ship that shot the Tempest out of the sky in the first place was!" Apple White realized.

"Well, it's quite possible that with everything that's been going on, from the involvement of the school in the war to this growing darkness, that somehow, these Heartless merged with either corpses of Decepticons or the Sparkless, creating what we just faced," Hound said. "Then again, I'm not Heartless expert."

"Well, I think you're onto something," a hologram of Darling spoke up. "Think about how we faced some of the Vehicons from before we found the AllSpark. They were like what we use for training here mixed with Cybertronian energy. I'm betting that the Heartless actually did merge with Decepticons, and created what we're facing."

"You're okay there?" Ali asked, concerned.

"I'm alright, Ali. Don't worry," Darling smiled, causing Ali to blush. "Rosabella and I are still watching over the school, so keep doing what you're doing, and we'll be back together soon."

"Wow," Lea whispered to Roxas. "Guess we know how to tell your Darling apart since this one clearly has a thing for Ali."

"How about we get a full scan of a Decepticon Heartless and then send it over?" Rowan suggested. "Then we can get everyone ready in case they're attacked too."

"Good thinking, Rowan," Optimus Prime said. "Roxas, I would like you to please have your Forever After Fighters help in spearheading this, as your group are the most experienced with this new threat."

"You can count on us." Roxas nodded.

All of a sudden, a hologram of Knight Cerise came in.

"Rowan, you said to look out for a lookalike of mine that fell from the ship in the sky?" Knight Cerise asked.

"You're saying you found the other Cerise?" Rowan asked.

"Let's just say I didn't have to look hard," Knight Cerise said from the Enchanted Forest, spying on another Cerise, with her hood down and with red and black shoes on, playing with Carmine. "Ginger and Grimlock are close by. We'll bring her to Roxas."

"Thank you." Roxas said back at the base.

"No problem. 'Till All Are One." Knight Cerise replied before signing off.

"We also still need to repair the Tempest," Roxas said. "That got the most damage we ever got when the 'Con shot us out between the Worlds."

"Trust me, with Wheeljack going back to deliver your friend, it's gonna be as good as new," Bulkhead said. "He's not just a Wrecker, but a great scientist too."

"And with him helping out Perceptor, it's bound to go twice as fast." Rodimus Prime added on.

"Well, we'd better get going if we want this alliance between Megatron and Xehanort to end," Rowan said before looking to the other Knights present in the base. "Dexter, with me. Cerise and Poppy, when you make sure the other Cerise is safe, bring her back to the Tempest and help the Forever After Fighters there out. The rest of you, keep a lookout for the others who fell out from the Tempest."

"If it helps, since there are two more, I can give their appearances," Roxas said. "One looks a bit like me, but with brown hair. The other has silver hair."

"We'll keep a close eye out." Poppy said.

"Make sure the Decepticons don't reach Sora or Riku first," Xion added on. "They're Keyblade Wielders like us… two of the three who were at the very start of our adventures."

"Will do." Atem nodded.

"Alright, let's go!" Rowan ordered.

"Bulkhead, you're up." Ratchet said.

"Be right there," Bulkhead said before looking to Briar Basher and Briar Beauty. "Here goes nothing."

"You got this." Briar Basher smiled.

Bulkhead nodded and entered the Reformatting Chamber. Everyone watched as several lights shone from it, followed by transformation sounds. After a while, Bulkhead came back out, now in the new form that he had shown to both Briars before.

"How does it feel?" Briar Beauty asked.

Bulkhead felt his hands before his new riot shield appeared over his left arm. "Like I'm ready to really wreck it now!" he grinned.

Back at the Tempest, some of the other Forever After Fighters were starting to come to.

"How is everyone there?" Arcee asked as Dexter 2 walked out.

"Everyone's a bit groggy, but we're making sure they're okay and up to date on what's happened so far," Dexter 2 replied as another Poppy and Holly walked out, as well as another version of Hopper. "We made sure to fill them all in on you guys."

"Good, because Wheeljack called in, bringing in Naminé and one of your missing friends," Arcee reported, getting another version of Lizzie and Maddie to smile. "I'm switching with him, but we still need to keep Mirage covered to keep up this illusion."

"It's getting tiring now," Mirage said, seeming to glow in and out a few times. "Can't wait until Poppy…" he started before seeing a confused look on the other Poppy. "Our Poppy, gets here."

"She's bound to give you the boost you need." Sandstorm agreed.

"What's so special about my other self?" the other Poppy asked.

"Best to wait and see for yourself," Mirage chuckled before groaning a bit. "Really wish I could keep this up longer. Don't know how much more I can do."

"Farrah, what time is it?" the other Darling asked a Fairy in the group.

"About ten minutes to noon," Farrah replied. "I don't know if it'll be enough for that."

"What's going on?"

Everyone turned to see Wheeljack arrive back. He opened his doors to let Naminé out so she could help Amora out before transforming.

"Farrah, you sure about this?" Naminé asked.

"If it helps us, I'll do it," Farrah said before walking to Mirage, taking out a wand. "I can grant your wish, but when it hits noon, my spell will wear off."

"I wish for my power to last longer." Mirage reiterated.

Farrah nodded before firing a spell at Mirage. Soon, he stopped glowing in and out, and his illusion started to become stronger.

"I'm gonna help keep this up as long as I can," Farrah said, still holding out her wand. "But ten minutes will be cutting it close."

"We'll have our Poppy Bridged over before that time window closes." Arcee promised before transforming.

"Let me come," Rosabella said. "I want to help as much as I can."

"Ih." Leroy, now fully awake, agreed as he walked up.

"Same here." Daring said.

"Count me in." Humphrey nodded.

"You three, ride in me," Sandstorm said as he transformed into his hovercraft mode. "Rosabella, on Arcee."

"I'm tame, don't worry." Arcee joked.

Rosabella chuckled as she got on, with Leroy behind her, while Daring and Humphrey rode inside of Sandstorm. Both Autobots were soon off, with Naminé going after them on a Skimmer.

The boy with blue hair, Rin, watched in awe, before seeing his cat, Kuro, walk out. He smiled and picked him up.

"He looks like he was just sleeping the whole time." Crystal chuckled.

"Never too worse for wear," Rin said, chuckling back. "Just wish the Tempest were in better condition."

"From how Perceptor is looking at it, it might be soon." Merida pointed to Perceptor as he and Dexter 2 inspected the Tempest.

"Hmm… interesting." Perceptor said as he was helping Dexter 2 to fix the Tempest.

"What is it?" Dexter 2 asked.

"It seems that your ship seems familiar to me," Perceptor explained. "At the risk of being proven wrong, I suggest we use Energon to help repair fuel it."

"Like your own fuel?" Dexter 2 asked.

"Again, it is at the risk of being proven wrong," Perceptor explained. "But something about your Tempest seems… familiar."

"Well, Yen Sid mentioned he got it for us," Dexter 2 pointed out as some of the other Autobots came over to help. "He just never mentioned where he got it."

In the Enchanted Forest, Cerise Hood, who had awoken after crashing, was playing with Carmine.

"You seem different from the Carmine I like to play around with," Cerise said. "I mean, you don't mind me without my hood down like this, but that's not much new."

"Seems like he's taking a liking to you."

Cerise got up and popped her right foot. Her sword, the Howl Edge, grew from the heel blade, which she grabbed and aimed out before Knight Cerise walked forward.

"How… how do you look like me?" Cerise questioned cautiously. "I swear, if Resecix is still alive…"

"I'm not with the Organization. Roxas Twilight sent me to find you," Knight Cerise said, causing Cerise's eyes to widen. "You're in a different Ever After High right now, a version that's still a few weeks after Thronecoming."

"Whoa," Cerise said in awe as Knight Cerise looked at her curiously. "So then… I take it that you and Ramona are still fighting?"

"Don't get me started," Knight Cerise said. "Tell me, how many times did Mom and Dad have you go with your Ramona on how to act in front of everyone?"

"Too many times."

"I see you're not afraid to let your ears show." Knight Cerise noted.

"Yeah, it was actually Ramona who let the cat out of the bag," Cerise shrugged. "I've come out ever since."

"Well, I like it," Knight Cerise smiled. "But, uh… everyone else at this point still doesn't know about me being part wolf, so maybe you could…?"

"Oh, right. Sorry," Cerise replied sheepishly, placing her hood back on her head. "But when we find Roxas, how do we show him which Cerise is which?"

"He could ask you something only you and he did," Knight Cerise said while looking to the running shoes Cerise had. "Or he could look at our feet, but I don't think your boyfriend's got a fetish."

"I'd still love him if he did." Cerise smirked cutely, tapping the sides of her feet against each other a few times in a playful manner.

"In any case, I promised Roxas I would get you back to him," Knight Cerise said. "We'd better go before—"

All of a sudden, dark mist started to surround the two. Both of them stood back to back with each other before Heartless manifested, taking on the appearance of smaller Cybertronians.

"Heartless!" Cerise exclaimed.

"Just like what Roxas warned us about," Knight Cerise said as she let out her dual swords from her Talisman. "You good with that sword?"

"Depends on if you are with yours." Cerise quipped.

"Let's go." Knight Cerise grinned, running at the Sparkless.

Cerise chuckled before charging as well, slashing at as many of the Sparkless as she could. As she did, Knight Cerise did the same with her Lunar Edge blades, cutting them down. One of the Sparkless tried to fire at Cerise, but she leaned back on Knight Cerise's own back before rolling over her and tossing her Howl Edge at the attacking Sparkless, taking it out.

Knight Cerise side-spun at the downed Sparkless and grabbed the sword, clashing with a few normal Heartless attacking before jumping off of one of them and tossing the sword back at Cerise, who caught it easily.

"Not too bad." Cerise grinned.

"Wait," Knight Cerise said, looking to the air to see the Tempest seeming to flash in and out of sight. "Is that your ship?"

"Something's keeping it out of sight, but I don't think it's gonna last for much longer," Cerise said. "We need to get over there and fast to help out."

"Then let's finish these guys," Knight Cerise said. "I have a trick that I think you might be able to pull off too, if you're fast enough."

"I could run miles in my bare feet," Cerise replied. "What did you have in mind?"

"We're gonna run around these guys; gather as much speed as we can," Knight Cerise explained. "Then we absorb the excess speed into our blades and let it out on the Heartless. It's a trick Thunderhowl taught me."

"Your teacher?" Cerise asked.

"My Autobot partner," Knight Cerise clarified. "You up for this?"

"Give the word." Cerise nodded.

Knight Cerise got into a running position, in which Cerise Hood did the same. The former looked to the latter and nodded before they dashed towards the Sparkless, both slowly turning into blurs as they raced around them in circles.

"I see it!" Cerise called as she raced across from Knight Cerise.

"Don't stop until you've gathered enough speed!" Knight Cerise advised.

The Sparkless and Heartless tried to attack the two as they were running, but they were too quick. Soon, the two stopped and held their swords behind them, their speed seeming to enter their blades. As soon as the trail of speed was all absorbed, they spun around and slashed it at the Heartless and the Sparkless, destroying them.

"Neat trick." Cerise complimented.

"Thanks," Knight Cerise replied. "You all good?"

"Never been better," Cerise said before seeing Knight Poppy arrive. "Poppy?" she asked as Knight Cerise turned around.

"You found her," the other Poppy said. "Smokescreen's waiting for us, and we need to get to the Tempest as quick as we can. Mirage won't last long since he's using his cloaking powers to keep it from being spotted by the Decepticons and the Organization."

"You should've brought up the Organization was involved from the start!" Cerise exclaimed in surprise. "We've gotta go now!"

Soon, Knights Cerise and Poppy had the other Cerise Hood in Smokescreen. He raced off back to the Tempest, just as Roxas was leading his group of Forever After Fighters with Rowan and his selection of Iacon Knights around.

"I got word from Poppy," Rowan said to Roxas. "They found your Cerise, and are taking her back to the Tempest."

"Word from Arcee," Dexter said afterwards. "Wheeljack brought back Amora, and she and Sandstorm are bringing three more of your friends."

"Which one?" Briar Beauty asked.

"Your versions of Rosabella, Daring and Humphrey Dumpty." Dexter replied.

"As soon as they arrive, I'll let them know what's going on, and that we'll need as many hands on deck as we can get to stop the Organization," Roxas said. "Thanks again for letting us help."

"No problem," Rowan replied as he saw Briar Basher, Marylyn and Lizzie looking to him. "Just wish it were easier."

"Um… I'll leave you two alone." Dexter said, stepping back to match the walking pace of Ravenicus Prime.

"Having second thoughts about breaking things off with your girls?" Roxas guessed.

"I did it because I've seen what happens with this before," Rowan explained. "The girls in love you swoon and try to get your attention and favor, but it goes from a competition to a rivalry over who gets you as a whole. If we kept it up, we would never be focused enough to take on the Decepticons, and if they found out, they'd most likely take advantage of the in-fighting," he explained. "They're lightening up, but if it happens again—"

"Rowan? Hey, Rowan," Roxas interrupted. "Believe me, I've been there. It's happened more than a few times when I had eight girls to worry about. They were constantly fighting over who would get me. They even almost tore each other apart after being struck by a love fever."

"That's a thing?" Rowan asked, confused.

"You're gonna feel good that I warn you about it before it happens here," Roxas reassured. "But the second time it happened, I started to see that five other girls were part of how I got my heart, and they too fought over me. I haven't fully opened myself to all thirteen girls yet," he started as Rowan's eyes widened in surprise. "But while they fight over you, you have to know that they still love you, and you love them. I don't know if you can control whether they fight or not, but know that it's no distraction," he said. "The bonds you make with the girls you love will make you and them stronger. The reason I have a strong group of girls in my harem is because they helped make my heart, and I helped them become the people they are today," he said. "Now, I'm not gonna force you to lift this ban on your relationships, but see where it goes, and I can assure you, you'll feel stronger than before in more ways than you can imagine. It's a two-way street; open up to them, and they'll open up to you. You become better on both ends."

Rowan smiled. "You sure you didn't have a heart before, man?" he asked. "Because that pep talk is beautiful."

"Hey, you learn a lot before and after getting a heart," Roxas said. "I still need the courage to talk to their parents about my feelings for the other five girls."

"Best of luck." Rowan chuckled.

"Well… isn't this a sight to behold?"

"Oh no." Raven Queen snarled.

"Who was that?" Ali asked.

"Someone who I have a bone to pick with." Roxas said, summoning two Keyblades, one being known as Snow Shock and the other known as Kingsglaive.

Before the group, Mira Shards walked forward, holding her flail, the Grimhilte, in her hands.

"Mira…" Apple White narrowed her eyes.

"Never seen anyone like her before." Lizzie remarked.

"It's a long story," Roxas said. "It involves her poisoning me."

"I told Megatron you were all hard to kill," Mira Shards smirked. "I love it when I'm sent to finish you off."

"What do you want from our world?" Ali asked.

"I think you know," Mira Shards said as she circled around the two groups. "Ifrit, Storm Rider, the Jabberwocky… you took them all down," she listed. "Imagine the power they could hold once they were revived with the Blood of Unicron."

"You don't know what kind of power you're playing with by using Dark Energon." Rowan warned.

"You don't know who you're dealing with," Mira Shards spat back. "We're not scared of your Autobot friends, and we're more than capable of dealing with amateur warriors of this school."

"Hide." Raven whispered to Blondie, who ran to a bush to start recording.

"Our adventure in this alternate Ever After High continues, everyone!" Blondie announced as she talked into her MirrorPad. "First, we have robots known as Autobots and Decepticons to deal with, and now, it would appear that the Organization is assisting them. Will our friends be able to make a comeback against Mira Shards? Stay tuned to find out!"

"Lea, go with Ravenicus Prime to find the Heartless Decepticons," Roxas ordered. "Take the others with you, we've got Mira."

"Take care, Roxas." Lea replied, nodding, before Ravenicus Prime transformed into her jet mode, letting the other Forever After Fighters and Knights of Iacon inside of her before flying off.

From a distance away, Megatron was watching in his jet mode, paying careful attention to Mira Shards.

"Take her!" Rowan ordered as Ali and Dexter aimed their weapons, blasting Mira immediately.

Mira grinned as Dexter and Ali fired at her. She simply teleported in front of them before the shots could reach her and used her Grimhilte to knock them aside.

"No!" Roxas ran with Converging Stories and slashed at Mira, only for her to teleport behind him and place her flail in front of his neck.

"Last time, I didn't get to see your corruption into a Heartless through all the way," Mira Shards formed a dark energy ball from her hand. "I won't make the same mistake again."

"Roxas!" Xion gasped.

"Say goodbye." Mira Shards chuckled.

All of a sudden, a whirring was heard in the air. Everyone looked to see Megatron arrive, transforming before landing on the ground. As soon as he did, he aimed his Fusion Cannon at Mira and fired, freeing Roxas from her hold.

"Megatron!" Rowan exclaimed.

"What are you doing?!" Mira snapped. "I was just about to save you the trouble of—"

"Trouble would be facing your opponent as a gladiator!" Megatron snarled. "I warned you before, I will not tolerate cowardice, let it be in my ranks, or the ranks of those who ally themselves with us."

"He's saving us?" Raven asked before looking to Rowan. "He ever do this to you?"

"No, he hasn't." Rowan shook his head.

"Curaga."

The Forever After Fighters and the Knights of Iacon felt their strength returning to them as Master Xehanort walked out from a Dark Corridor, accompanied by his younger self.

"Master!" Mira gasped. "You're going to let this tyrant dictate us?"

"We said your plan to defeat Roxas was good, Mira. We never said we approved or your tactics when you went to finish the job," Master Xehanort said as he willed away his No Name Keyblade. "Megatron is correct. Even I will not tolerate cowardice within the Organization, by anyone."

Megatron took out the Dark Star Saber and stabbed it into the ground. Around the humans appeared a circle of dark fire, eventually creating a dome around them.

"Roxas Twilight. I understand someone once told you about what true strength is," Megatron said, getting Roxas's attention. "Whatever he claimed was false. True strength lies not with who has the most power, but who has the most honor. Anyone who holds honor has my respect."

"We never run from a fight," Roxas said as he, Ashlynn and Xion readied their Keyblades while Raven aimed the Rebellia Blade, all at Mira Shards. "Guess you're one of the good bad guys, Megatron."

"But this better not be a game." Rowan said as he, Dexter, Briar and Apple Knight readied their Talisman weapons, with Ali aiming her lamp blaster.

"I only do this to have Mira prove her worth, and to see how all of you are together," Megatron said. "To see if you all are true warriors."

"Show us what you are truly made of, Mira," Master Xehanort said before looking to his younger self. "Take it from here."

Young Xehanort nodded as his true self faded back into the Dark Corridor.

"Well this is definitely something new." The female narrator said.

"Megatron, a villain actually stopped Mira from doing her dirty tricks?" The male narrator said equally surprised.

"These giant robots just keep throwing surprises at us." Brooke said.

From the bush, Blondie started to record the inevitable fight, being sent to not only the other Forever After Fighters, but to their Ever After High.

In the World That Never Was, Lappex and several other Ever After High Nobodies tuned in on the broadcast, Lappex grinning with interest at what was about to unfold.

"Looks like we've got a villain with honor, and he has even called out Jiemma on his philosophy," Blondie announced again before sending out drones to cover the battle. "Don't turn that dial, this battle is about to begin!" she cheered before looking to the camera again. "And remember to stay updated by hitting the notification bell and subscribing. Now, onto the fight!"

"Come at me!" Mira Shards growled, spinning around the Grimhilte and letting it extend. "I'll show you all!"

"Don't underestimate her," Roxas warned as everyone started to surround Mira. "She's the Nobody of the Evil Queen."

"Attack!" Rowan called, getting Ali and the Knights to all charge.

"Let's go!" Roxas called, leading Xion, Ashlynn and Raven Queen.

Briar Basher slashed at Mira, who swung her Grimhilte at her. As she was trying to keep the flail from hitting her, she ducked to let Apple Knight jump off of her back, allowing her to perform a strike from above.

Mira looked up and sent a dark blast at Apple, only for her to get shot by Dexter. She turned and lashed at him before Ali leapt in and punched her. She gasped and backed away right as Ashlynn and Xion slammed their Keyblades at her. Narrowing her eyes, she spun and let a rapier blade out from her Grimhilte as the chain retracted, allowing for her to clash with the two Keyblade Wielders.

"That all you got?" Mira Shards smirked before she backed away.

"Not yet!" Ashlynn called out as she aimed her Keyblade out. "Light!"

"Ragnarok!" Xion called out, sending out a blast alongside Ashlynn.

"Have some more!" Dexter called out as he and Ali fired as well.

"No, wait!" Roxas called, stopping Rowan, Raven and Briar from joining in. "She's gonna send them back!"

"What?" Briar Basher asked.

"You know how the Evil Queen admires mirrors so much?" Roxas asked. "Guess how Mira is able to weaponize that."

Mira watched as all the blasts hit her. She got up and smirked, letting four mirrors appear, each sending the blasts back at the group.

"Any advice?" Rowan suggested.

"Not sure," Roxas replied. "No one's been able to get through that before."

"Try this!" Ali called out, sending more blasts from her lamp.

Mira looked and let the blasts hit her. As she did, she let out another mirror to send the attack back as Ali ran, taking out a scimitar. She deflected them and ran to attack Mira, only for her to back away as she tried to evade the rest of the attack she sent.

"Wait… that's it!" Rowan realized.

"What is it?" Raven Queen asked.

"Hey!" Rowan yelled, running forward while sending forth a blast from his Talisman.

Mira grinned as Rowan ran at her. "You never learn." She mocked as she let the blasts hit her. Groaning a little, she summoned a mirror, which was about to send the blast back.

However, before the blasts could come back through, Rowan slashed through the mirror and kicked Mira Shards back, much to her surprise.

"What?!" Mira Shards exclaimed. She fired at Rowan, only for Roxas to deflect the shots back at her. She prepared to send them back after she was hit, but both Roxas and Rowan slashed through the mirrors she had set up and slashed at her once again. "How'd you break through that?!"

"You really think we're telling you how we figured out your flaws?" Rowan smirked before tossing his sword at Mira.

Mira Shards used her Grimhilte to knock Excalibur to the side. As she did, Raven Queen ran at her and struck at her with the Rebellia Blade. Mira staggered back before lashing out at her, putting her on the defensive. Soon, she managed to use her flail to wrap around the Rebellia Blade before tossing it to the side, disarming her.

"Good try," Mira said, running at Raven to beat her down. "But not good e—"

Before Mira could finish, Raven Queen dodged her strike and kicked her in the chin, causing her Grimhilte to drop, leaving her unarmed just like her.

"You really think I need my weapon to take you down?" Raven narrowed her eyes and got into a fighting stance.

"As if I need mine too!" Mira Shards snarled, running at Raven and sending out a dark blast, engulfing her in flames.

Raven ran at Mira and fired a spell at her, returning the favor. Both of them shook off the flames and punched each other the moment they met in the middle.

"You go, Raven!" Xion cheered.

"Get her!" the Evil Queen from the Forever After Fighters' Ever After High cheered as the faculty watched the battle along the other students.

Mira staggered back before Raven sent another punch at her. She bobbed and kicked at her, causing her to fall on her back. Mira attempted to stomp onto her face, but she grabbed her foot and spun her to the ground. Both now down, they punched at each other before spinning back up onto their feet, where Raven leapt into the air and performed a spin-kick on Mira, who ducked in response before kicking at her when she landed back on the ground.

Raven dodged and blocked one kick to her chest. As soon as she lowered her defenses, Mira Shards sent another punch at her, which Raven responded by grabbing her fist. As Mira Shards tried to free herself, Raven spun their arms around. Mira Shards head-butted her, but this stunned Raven for a few moments before ramming her head at her in return. Mira groaned and knocked Raven back, sending forth a barrage of punches and jabs before Raven weaved and swatted her to the side.

Mira Shards yelled as she and Raven punched at each other again before elbowing at her face, who held up her arm to try and grab her elbow. Throwing Mira off, Raven spun and performed a drill-kick at her, sending her towards the ground. She got up and the two ran to punch at each other again, both of their fists hitting their mouths as the impact caused them to land near their respective weapons.

Raven Queen got up and turned to the side, spitting out a tooth while wiping some blood from her mouth. Mira did the same before the two picked up their weapons and clashing once again.

"Not bad, Queen." Mira Shards grinned.

"I've felt better punches." Raven remarked.

Mira Shards scowled and slashed at Raven, who held up the Rebellia Blade to block her rapier. She head-butted her again, right as Roxas and Rowan struck at her. Mira raised her weapon again, clashing with the two of them before Rowan shot at her with his Talisman hand. She dodged and found herself face to face with Roxas, armed with Asgardian Warrior and Fairy Tail Champion.

"No tricks or curses this time, Mira!" Roxas challenged.

"You'll be begging for them when I'm done with you!" Mira Shards yelled, slashing at Roxas.

Everyone stood ready as Roxas clashed with Mira Shards, using both of his Keyblades to fend her off. As they were being backed away, he found an opening and slashed at her sleeve, causing it to fall off.

Mira looked and growled before slashing at Roxas again, who was able to fend off against her once more before cutting at the back of her coat. She once again ignored the blow to her wardrobe before lashing out at him. He threw each attack off before she kicked him in the face, sending him back. As he was trying to regain himself, she started to slash at him. He could feel each attack coming before looking to his Keyblades and realizing something. He glanced behind him as Mira prepared to stab at him.

Roxas held his arms open before Mira Shards stabbed at him. He dodged each of her attempts to skewer him before backing towards her, just as she missed a stab to his head, her arm now beside his face. Holding his Keyblades out in front of him, he trapped Mira's arm and brought them down, a crunching sound heard as Mira's arm was brought down.

"Oh, damn! That was brutal!" Brooke said.

"Augh!" Mira Shards yelled in pain before Roxas spun and knocked her to the side, her right arm going numb. She panted as she tossed up the Grimhilte into her left hand, just as everyone advanced on her again.

"No… this can't be!" Mira Shards exclaimed. "You can't be this strong!"

"Clearly, you've never fought a fair fight until now." Ashlynn taunted.

"I'm not done with any of you yet!" Mira yelled, slashing at Rowan, only for him to break off with her and kick her to Briar Basher, who slashed at her face before Raven Queen cut off the bottom area of her coat.

Mira Shards panted and tried to attack Raven, but she dodged and punched her away right as Ali slammed the barrel of her lamp blaster in her face. She groaned before regaining herself, only for Dexter to shoot her and flip her over his back.

"She really doesn't know she's already lost." Lappex grinned back at the World That Never Was.

Ashlynn and Apple Knight backed away from a slash from Mira, dodging easily before Xion reversed the grip on her Sunset By The Sea Keyblade to slash her across the chest, causing more of her coat to be torn apart.

"Perhaps she is not a coward after all." Megatron said as Young Xehanort narrowed his eyes.

"Maybe so." Young Xehanort agreed.

Mira ran at Ashlynn, slashing at her. The two locked a few times before she was thrown off, where Rowan slashed her across the face, destroying her hood. She yelled and lunged at Roxas nearby, but he grabbed her attacking hand and kneed her away, causing her to fall.

"No… not yet!" Mira growled, getting back up. "I won't be labeled a coward!"

"Stop this, Mira, before we have to finish you off!" Rowan warned.

Mira ignored the warning and lashed at everyone, but Ali shot at her other sleeve before Xion leapt and punched her back, where she locked with Roxas before he elbowed her in the face, causing a tooth to fall out.

Mira panted heavily, feeling a cut across her cheek and a little bit of blood from her mouth. She roared in rage and slashed at Roxas again, but he slashed at her abdomen, exposing her clothing underneath her coat.

"She's not stopping." Xion said.

"After what she's been dished, I'm surprised." Ashlynn admitted.

Raven dodged out of the way of more of Mira's swings, starting to become lethargic, before ramming the pommel of the Rebellia Blade against her, giving her a black eye. Still, she stood up and staggered at Raven, lashing at her before getting blasted back, causing her to fall on her back. She still got up and aimed her weapon out before letting out a crazed yell as she charged, much to the shocked concern of the Forever After Fighters and the Knights.

"That is enough," Young Xehanort said, concern showing in his voice, as he turned to Megatron. "Mira has proven herself, now release her!"

"The battle is not over yet." Megatron glared.

Everyone stood back as Mira swung wildly at them. In defense, they each threw her back before Ashlynn slashed her away.

The next attack Mira tried, she went for Apple Knight. Still uneasy about how she was still going despite being weak, she tried to back away, but was lunged at. In defense, she slashed her across the face, giving her a bruised lip this time.

Ali backed from Mira and shot her away, but she continued to fight. As she aimed her lamp blaster in defense, Mira lashed at her with her chain, which fell short a few inches in front of Ali. As she tried to attack again, she staggered back and coughed up some blood before attempting to stab Rowan, who slashed her towards the edge of the fire ring, where she started to heave. By this point, her coat had been completely slashed, and her clothing underneath was almost in shreds, and she was covered in cuts and bruises all over.

"Megatron, please! That is far enough!" Young Xehanort yelled. "She can no longer fight! We need her! Let her go!" he pleaded, but Megatron simply continued to watch.

"We can't keep doing this, or else we'll kill her," Roxas said as everyone stood ready for Mira Shards' next possible attack. "I may not like what she's done to me and my friends, but I'm not willing to kill her like this. It's not right."

"She's resilient," Rowan noted. "But I agree. If she keeps this up, it'll be a mercy kill against her the next time she strikes."

Mira Shards breathed heavily as she saw each opponent ready for her. She limped forward to attack, with no particular target in sight, but fell back, now coughing and breathing more heavily than usual.

"No more," Roxas said. He looked up. "Megatron! We've won the fight! Now let us go!" he yelled to Megatron as he walked forward with the Dark Star Saber. "Let her go." He said in a quieter concerned voice.

"So you have indeed won," Megatron said, seeing Mira letting out a few tears as she continued to breathe heavily. He held up the Dark Star Saber and let the flames back into the blade, now freeing the Forever After Fighters and the Knights of Iacon. "The victory goes to you all."

"Why put us through this?" Raven questioned. "Did you expect us to finish off Mira, or even the other way around?"

"Far from it," Megatron said. "As of recent, I have seen you humans be able to stand up to even us Decepticons. But I truly detest those who use the most cowardly tactics," he explained. "Mira's streak goes back as refusing to fight the combined strength of two schools, preferring to hide and assassinate your friend, Roxas in his sleep. At least now she knows what it is like to fight head-on instead of attacking you with your backs turned."

Roxas nodded. "I stand by what I said," he said. "You're one of the good bad guys."

"You have my respect, Roxas Twilight," Megatron said. "I look forward to when we clash," he said as Young Xehanort now picked up and unconscious and battered Mira Shards. "Bring her to the Nemesis. We will put her on life support."

"Thank you, Mighty Megatron," Young Xehanort said before looking to the Forever After Fighters and the Knights. "We will meet again soon." He promised before disappearing through a Dark Corridor.

Megatron looked to the humans one last time before transforming into his jet mode and flying off. As he did, Blondie came out from her hiding spot behind the bush.

"They won," Blondie said into the camera of her MirrorPad, with a mix of small excitement and mostly shock. "It was a brutal fight, but we have seen a fair fight with one of the banes of the Organization, and the Forever After Fighters and the Knights of Iacon earn the victory… and the respect of the Decepticon Leader."

"Well this was definitely one of the more intense fights." The male narrator said.

"Xehanort actually had to bargain Megatron to stop." The female narrator said.

"He's evil but a different kind of evil." Brooke said.

"Everyone okay?" Rowan asked everyone.

"That fight took a lot out of us, but we'll be fine." Ashlynn said, ditching both of her broken shoes upon seeing the glass on them had cracked a little.

"I can get us healed," Xion said as she aimed her Keyblade into the air. "Curaga!"

Like before, everyone felt their strength returning to them, and their wounds fading away from a flash of light from Sunset By The Sea. When it faded, they were all back to full health.

"Thanks," Ali said. "We've gotta find a way to use that spell for later fights against the Decepticons."

"First things first," Roxas said as he took out his communicator. "Dex, how are things looking with the Tempest?" he asked. "Any Decepticons find you?"

"Not yet," Dexter 2 replied at the Tempest. "But we only have a minute until Mirage gives away."

"Your friend, Farrah, is helping to maintain the stealth over us." Perceptor added on.

"Wait, someone's coming," Ramona said, looking out. A smile of relief came onto her face. "I see Cerise!"

Smokescreen arrived and transformed, letting Cerise, Knight Cerise and Knight Poppy onto the ground.

"Mirage, you okay?" Knight Poppy asked, running over to Mirage as he now looked rather exhausted.

"Gonna keep this going for as long as I can." Mirage panted.

"You're about to get your strength back soon," Knight Poppy said as she placed her hand on the ground, causing her hair to glow. "Come on, let there be Energon here…"

"Farrah, drop the spell!" Amora called out. "We have ten seconds until noon!"

"Not… until… I help… keep us safe!" Farrah panted, feeling a strain as she continued to help Mirage.

"It's here," Knight Poppy said, her hair glowing brighter. She let a few dreadlocks touch Mirage as Energon flowed from her Talisman into him. "This won't take long."

"Farrah, now!" the other Darling called.

"Not… yet!" Farrah insisted, just as she started to get a nosebleed.

"Almost…" Knight Poppy said before her hair stopped glowing while Mirage's illusion became even stronger. "Done!"

"And a minute past noon too!" Meeshell Mermaid exclaimed.

Farrah panted before dropping to her side, unconscious.

"Farrah!" Justine Dancer exclaimed as she ran over to her. She turned her onto her back and placed her ear to her heart. "She's fine, just tired."

"That was mad, right there," said the Maddie from the Forever After Fighters. "I didn't know she could go beyond twelve."

"It just shows how brave she is, especially after Far-Far Away," Melody said as she picked Farrah up. "We're gonna need to make sure she gets a good rest."

"You'll all need some," Wheeljack said as he continued to inspect the Tempest while Energon was being added in. "Perceptor, you're right," he said. "I think this ship does seem familiar in some way."

"Will the Energon help?" Courtly Jester asked.

"It should," Perceptor replied as he scanned around. "But I think that if we continue to use our resources to fix your ship…"

"Then there could be more to it than meets the eye." Smokescreen finished up.

From afar, watching Roxas and Rowan lead the Forever After Fighters and the Knights of Iacon was Vernax from a bush.

"Well, Mira, you certainly showed us," Vernax chuckled. "Best to get Raven now while she's weakened." She mused before disappearing through a Dark Corridor.

Meanwhile, with Ravenicus Prime, everyone was looking out of her windows with awe, Apple White especially.

"You sure weren't kidding when you said we'd like your jet mode." Apple White smiled.

"You sure Roxas is gonna be okay with Mira?" Miko asked Lea.

"He's gone up against worse," Lea replied before seeing a worried expression on Miko's face. "You like him, don't you?" he asked. "Rowan, that is." He clarified afterwards.

"I do, but things haven't been easy since the war reached Ever After High." Miko replied.

"Same with Roxas, and you know how many girls are all gaga over him?" Lea asked. "Thirteen."

"Whoa," Miko said, her eyes going wide, and the same with Lizzie and Marylyn. "That many?"

"Yep, and they all love him with their hearts," Lea went on. "Sure, they'll fight over him from time to time, but when the situation really calls for it, they won't let their feelings for him get in the way. Their feelings for him make them stronger, and trust me, they're a force to be reckoned with if he ever gets hurt around any of his girls," he said while eyeing Apple White and Briar Beauty. "They know who I'm talking about." He grinned.

"We know, Lea." Apple White chuckled.

"And we can attest to that." Briar Beauty chimed in.

"Hold on," Ravenicus Prime said as her radar beeped. "I'm picking up those corrupted Decepticon signatures. Gotta be the new Heartless that we're dealing with."

"Let's land and check it out," Duchess said. "Maybe Melody's nearby, it's near her practice area for when she wants to write songs."

Ravenicus Prime soon landed. As soon as everyone got out, her human self leapt out, absorbing her Cybertronian form back into her Talisman while she was in midair before landing on the ground in a three-point landing.

"Poser." Miko chuckled.

"No one asked you." Briar Beauty said, impressed.

"Well, we have one Keyblade Wielder here," Marylyn said, looking to Lea. "Lead the way."

"You got it," Lea said as he took out another one of his Keyblades, Wild Side. "So… how do you plan to scan this Heartless Decepticon?" he asked.

"We have our ways."

Everyone turned to see the Knight version of Melody Piper walk in. As she did, she let her sword appear from her Talisman, resting it on her shoulder.

"Melody, I knew you were here." Miko chuckled.

"Good to see you all, and the new faces too," Knight Melody said. "Jazz joined up with me, and we've been patrolling the area, clearing away Decepticon patrols. If a single one of them gets into the school, they could find the AllSpark."

"I thought we have defenses for that." Marylyn said.

"We do, but until we get those Energon Towers, I don't think we can be too safe." Knight Melody shrugged.

"Wait," Apple said. "You're the one that the Decepticon Flip Side looks like?"

"She had it coming after imprisoning me," Melody replied. "But that can wait for another day. We need to get a move on. Brains and Wheelie said that they and Sparkplug found those new Sparkless/Heartless roaming around, and if they've merged like you said, I can get a scan of them and send it to Ratchet for further analysis."

"That's a thing you can do?" Apple White asked, surprised.

"It's a Knight thing," Lizzie replied. "Our Briar likes to use the tank scan she got a lot of the time."

"Color me impressed." Lea said, amazed.

All of a sudden, several of the Sparkless came out of the shadows. Knight Melody turned and prepared to scan them until a whirring noise was heard in the air. Everyone looked around before seeing the same ship that shot down the Tempest fly over them, followed by two more jets, a helicopter and a dune buggy. All of them had cannons on them before firing on the group, causing the Melody to use her Talisman to create an energy dome around them.

"What's that?" Briar Beauty asked.

"Never seen them before," Knight Melody replied. "The big one looks just about as big as Megatron's newer form."

"It sure looks like what shot us out of the space between the Worlds." Apple White agreed.

Soon, all five vehicles converged, each one transforming. The big ship turned into a Decepticon that had a dark samurai look to him, wielding a large double-sided sword. This was Bludgeon.

The second jet transformed into a Decepticon that had a set of machine guns and a green mask. This was Needlenose.

The dune buggy transformed into a Decepticon that had an axe in one hand and a cannon in the other, with a bat-looking Minicon flying around. This was Ruckus.

The helicopter transformed into a Decepticon that wielded dual Gatling Rifles. This was Spinister.

Finally, the last jet transformed into a Decepticon that wielded an Ikakalaka sword, as well as a clawed blaster, with turrets on his shoulders, knees and thighs. This was Windsweeper.

"So, you are the motley crew of that ship we shot down?" Bludgeon asked. "Pathetic."

"I'm sorry," Lea said carefully, readying his Keyblade. "I don't think we ever got your names."

"The name is Bludgeon," Bludgeon said. "We are the Mayhem Massacre Force."

"So that's what you are."

Everyone turned to see Flip Side approaching as the Heartless Decepticons parted for her to get through.

"Flip Side!" Knight Melody growled.

"Last we met, you were still an Attack Squad." Flip Side recalled.

"We were lost during the race for the AllSpark, having chased after Megatron to support him," Spinister explained. "Before we could catch up to him in warp speed, we were ambushed by dark creatures, and dragged off outside of the known universe."

"That must have been when the Heartless took over, when Sora began his journey!" Lea realized.

"These… Heartless… nearly devoured us, but no one dominates the Mayhem Massacre Force," Windsweeper remarked. "We tamed and absorbed them, gaining newer powers as we had never felt before. We had been controlling more of the untamed Heartless, and sending them to cause mayhem in every other universe we came across."

"Until the presence of the Dark Energon caught our attention," Ruckus went on. "Unlike others, we were immune to its effects, and traveled back until we found our way back to our universe."

"Missing out on so much action as Decepticon forces, we promoted our name from the simple Attack Squad to the Mayhem Massacre Force," Bludgeon finished up. "To let Megatron know we were returning, we deployed our new Heartless, merged with the corpses of our brethren from the battlegrounds of Cybertron, to attack in order to gain the AllSpark."

"And then you came across the Tempest," Briar Beauty remarked, narrowing her eyes. "It must have been a perfect target for you."

"That vessel?" Bludgeon scoffed. "We've seen many like those before, always shooting them down like prey."

"We never expected that outdated warship to be carrying lesser beings. I thought you all were no fighters," Ruckus spat. "But I do love it when I'm proven wrong." He chuckled.

"Well, Massacre Force, you've missed out on a lot in the past millennia," Flip Side said. "This planet is where the war rages on, and we've aligned ourselves with mastery over the darkness of the Heartless. They call themselves Organization XIII."

"Since when have you cared to side with humans after what Grimm did?" Knight Melody glared.

"Wait… Headmaster Grimm?" Apple White asked.

"They are a means to an end," Flip Side spat before finally turning to fully face the group. As she did, she took out a Katana that had a jagged guard on it, aiming it out at them. "But at least they come with quirks." She smirked before letting out a snarl. As she did, the blade became blood red with a black glow around it.

At the same time, Riku was slowly starting to wake up. He groaned and felt his head, looking around as other students had stopped and gathered to see if he was okay.

"What a fall," Riku groaned as he slowly got up. However, as he was, he took notice of the defensive measures placed in the courtyard where he landed. "Since when has the school gotten those in place of the Samurai and Assassins?"

"Don't know what we'd need assassins for, but this school was just caught up in a war with the Decepticons."

Riku turned to see Darling walking towards her, holding a medical kit in her hand.

"Darling?" Riku asked.

"Rowan, I've found another straggler," Darling reported into her communicator. "But he's hurt from the fall. I'll patch him up and bring him to you and the Forever After Fighters, well… after." She said before kneeling down and opening up the kit.

"Darling, what's happening?" Riku asked. "Where's Sora, Roxas and the others?"

"You've got a cut on your arm, hold still," Darling said as Riku felt her using a swab to tend to a cut on his right arm. "To answer your questions, this isn't the Ever After High that you're from… and Roxas is with Rowan and my girlfriend, while we have yet to find this Sora of yours."

"Oh… another alternate universe thing," Riku replied. "Guess we were due for that, with Drake on Halloween."

"We've already found your other friends, Amora and Cerise," Darling went on. "But your ship wasn't so lucky."

"What shot the Tempest?" Riku asked.

"We're guessing a Decepticon, but your friends say it was a Heartless," Darling replied as she wiped Riku's cut before placing some gauze around his arm. "I'd give that a few days to heal before taking it off. Good thing you didn't break anything else."

"I can already tell there's a lot to be caught up on." Riku noted.

"Yeah, there is," Darling said before hearing some clashes from the front of the school. "Sounds like the others."

"Curaga," Riku said as he stood up while summoning his Keyblade, Braveheart, at the same time. As he did, his other bruises went away, but not the cut. "I can check it out. You want to come too?" he offered. "Assuming you fight like the Darling we have."

"I can, but not at the moment. We need to find this other friend of yours, Sora," Darling replied. "Rosabella and Ginger are helping to locate her with Atem.

"Then thank you for the patch-up," Riku said before running to the front. "I'm coming!" he called before hearing rumbling around.

Roxas and Rowan were leading the other Forever After Fighters and Knights to where Ravenicus Prime and the others were before they heard the rumbling as well.

"What was that?" Roxas asked.

Rowan grinned. "You know what dinosaurs are?" he asked.

"Yes… why?"

"Let's just say what we have can help in more ways than one." Apple Knight chuckled.

In the forest at the front of the school, Ravenicus Prime was backflipping away as several Sparkless blasted her. She managed to get up and twirl through the air before taking out the Skybreaker. As it started to form from her Talisman, Vernax appeared and watched, her eyes widening.

"Already?" Vernax asked, surprised. "Guess I'd better be careful then before I strike."

Nearby, Knight Melody and Flip Side locked blades, the latter pushing the former backwards. Soon, she kicked Knight Melody before she sent forth music to send her Decepticon twin away.

"You never could stand the beat." Knight Melody smirked.

"It was always noise to me anyways." Flip Side remarked.

As this was being said, Melody Piper was watching through Blondie's drones back at the Tempest. Upon hearing this, she clenched her fist, getting Rin and the other Forever After Fighters to back away while Kuro seemed to hide behind Kitty Cheshire, who in turn hid behind Faybelle Thorn.

"Why, that dirty, rotten, deranged, no-good, tasteless, rusted tin-headed mother fu—"

At the front of the school, as an explosion went off, Lea side-spun forward as Ruckus fired at him. Keeping his Keyblade ready, he swung several energy spears at him, only for him to dodge before he was forced to evade again, backflipping and landing on one of the Sparkless before jumping off, stabbing his Keyblade into its eye.

"This isn't so hard." Lea panted.

Briar Beauty backed away as several other Heartless slashed at her. She blocked one of the attacks with her sword before summoning her staff, the Violetta, as she cartwheeled backwards.

"Firaga!" Briar aimed Violetta out and sent forth several balls of fire before backing into Apple White, who had her Regal Union scepter out.

"Give the normal ones to us any day!" Apple sneered before twirling her scepter around. As she did, several Heartless with swords struck at her, but she managed to parry off all of their attacks before spinning to the side, keeping her scepter at the ready. When one of the Heartless struck at her, she attacked with both ends before slamming it in the face. With the Heartless stunned, she stuck her scepter into its chest. "Sparkza!" she called, sending out sparks that caused the Heartless to explode.

Lizzie cartwheeled back as Windsweeper tried to shoot her, evading all of his shots. She eventually spun into the air, landing on top of a rock, where he shot at her again, before flipping onto the ground, where she slammed her hammer-axe down, causing a burst of Energon to fly up and hit him.

"Was that supposed to hurt?" Windsweeper snarled.

"Scrap, that usually works." Lizzie gulped.

"Hang on!" Marylyn called out, sending forth a blast from her main staff.

Lizzie backed away with a corkscrew spin as the blasts hit Windsweeper, only for him to deflect them with his Ikakalaka.

"They're good." Apple White gulped before seeing Miko back away from Bludgeon, who was striking at her swords with his own.

"For a Decepticon… you've got spirit!" Miko grunted, blocking every strike before being forced to lock with him.

"I admire your courage," Bludgeon glared before breaking off, sending Miko back just a few feet. "But this is where it ends."

"Think again!"

Everyone turned to see Optimus Prime arrive in his truck mode. He braked and swung his trailer, knocking it into Bludgeon. However, instead of knocking him over, he simply kicked it back right as Optimus Prime transformed, letting out his Mega Striker blaster to shoot him away.

"Is everyone okay?" Optimus Prime asked.

"Your Melody and Ravenicus Prime got split up in the fight," Lea reported. "Keep your guard up on these guys, Optimus. They're tough."

"So… you're Optimus Prime?" Spinister asked, arming himself with his helicopter blades over his right arm. "I remember now… Megatron ordered your termination on Velocitron."

"These guys are responsible for the Heartless attack in your world," Briar Beauty said. "And they were the ones who shot us down."

"You brought forth an army of dark abominations to this world?" Optimus Prime asked, keeping his Mega Striker ready as the rest of the Mayhem Massacre Force regrouped. "To what end?"

"The end of your kind," Bludgeon spat. "The end of Autobots and humans alike… to pave way for the Decepticon army!"

"Not today!" Optimus Prime spat before several Sparkless surrounded him.

"No!" Apple White cried.

"You forget who I am," Optimus Prime said as he activated his battle mask. The Sparkless charged at him, but he clenched his right arm, letting out an Energon Blade, before spinning around, cutting them all down with a single swing. "I am Optimus Prime!"

"Whatever!" Bludgeon yelled before firing at Optimus Prime.

All of a sudden, Arcee leapt in, transforming and activating her Energon Shield. She flipped down until she was in front of Optimus Prime, who was not even flinching, and sent the blast into the air. As she did, Rosabella leapt off of her.

"Rosabella!" Briar Beauty smiled.

"Tookie Bah Wah Bah!" Leroy called out, leaping at Bludgeon, who swung his sword at him. However, he landed on it and ran at his head, punching him before cannon-balling himself at the ground to disorient the other Decepticons.

Rosabella took out her gauntlet, the Beast Claw Grappler, and aimed it at a ledge near the school, where the beast claw from it launched out and clutched onto. There, she took out her own shield and spun down, knocking the blaster out of Bludgeon's hand before landing on the ground, her claw receding back.

"Step away from my friends." Rosabella warned.

"Don't toy with us, girl!" Needlenose yelled, firing at her.

Rosabella stood where she was as Daring, Humphrey and Naminé arrived with Sandstorm. However, before any of them could act, she simply placed her shield in front of her, holding the blast without so much as a struggle.

"Really?" Rosabella asked before swatting the blast to the ground in front of her.

Everyone stood stunned at what happened, especially Optimus Prime and even the Mayhem Massacre Force themselves. Even with the explosion, Rosabella was not harmed, her only small movement being her adjusting her glasses afterwards.

"Whoa." Daring said, blown away.

"We thought you could use some help." Arcee grinned.

At that moment, Bulkhead raced out from the road behind the three Autobots, transforming and letting out his machine gun, wrecking ball and riot shield. Beside him, Bumblebee transformed and aimed his blade blaster with his sword, shield and war hammer. As soon as they aimed, Ratchet arrived, aiming his EMP Blaster and his gun as well, all five main core members of Team Prime standing ready as all of the Mayhem Massacre Force aimed back in return.

"Sandstorm, get back to the base and take over monitoring," Ratchet ordered. "I've got this."

Sandstorm nodded. "Got it, Doc-Bot." He leapt up and transformed into his dune buggy mode, driving off back to the Autobot Base.

"Things just got serious." Lea noted as the Autobot and Decepticon sides kept their aims carefully locked onto each other.

"Autobots, attack!" Optimus Prime ordered as Team Prime ran and fired at the Mayhem Massacre Force.

Bludgeon aimed an arm-mounted blaster similar to the Fusion Cannon at the group in return. "Massacre them." He glared as he took out his sword, causing the members of the Mayhem Massacre Force to return fire.

"Whoa." Lea said in amazement as Roxas, Rowan and the rest of the Knights and Forever After Fighters arrived.

"Whoa these guys are in a battle category of their own." Brooke said.

"So these are Autobots and Decepticons in action?" Roxas asked, amazed.

"Yeah," Rowan smiled before feeling his Talisman hand glow. The rest of the Knights felt the same thing. "The AllSpark… why's it calling out?"

Ruckus ran and fired at Bulkhead, who used his new riot shield to defend himself. He lowered it and aimed out his new machine gun, firing back at Ruckus before letting out his shoulder cannon, accompanied by two larger cannons from his shoulders as well. Grinning, he let loose the blasts on Ruckus, who leapt back and transformed, racing around before slamming at Bulkhead, who slammed his wrecking ball back at him.

"We were made to destroy Wreckers like you!" Ruckus snarled.

"Good thing you're already failing." Bulkhead grinned before throwing Ruckus off.

Arcee took out her twin swords as Spinister slashed at her with his helicopter blades. She parried off each attack swiftly before arming herself with her blaster over her right arm. Spiraling backwards, she aimed it out and fired at the helicopter Decepticon, sending him back as he used his blades as a shield.

"Gonna have to try harder!" Spinister yelled, spinning his blades forward to cut Arcee down.

"Look out!" Daring called.

"I got this." Arcee smirked.

Arcee held her ground and activated her energy shield again, softening the blow. After a while, she deactivated it and caught the blades mid-spin, surprising Spinister. With little effort, she tossed the blades away before blasting Spinister backwards.

"If it isn't the War Doctor," Windsweeper said as Ratchet approached him, taking out his sword. "Gotta say, I never expected the upgrade."

"We all need to adjust," Ratchet shrugged before activating his saw blade on his left arm as a shield. "You'd be wise to back down now. Ravenicus Prime has returned."

"We always like a good challenge," Windsweeper chuckled as he took out his Ikakalaka. "Just like I'll enjoy yours." He smiled before leaping in to cut Ratchet down.

Ratchet held up his shield in defense before using the saw blade to spin Windsweeper around. As he spun to the ground, the two slashed at each other, locking blades immediately. As they circled around, Ratchet fired his blaster at the ground, sending Windsweeper back in defense before shooting his left arm with his EMP, causing it to deactivate.

"You recognize that?" Ratchet asked as Windsweeper tried to activate his recessive repeating blaster, only for it to fail like his left arm. "The electromagnetic pulse blast. You won't be feeling anything for another solar cycle."

"You think I need my guns to kill you?!" Windsweeper snapped before running at Ratchet with his Ikakalaka again, causing him to raise his sword in defense.

"I should've aimed for the mouth." Ratchet sighed.

"We're not making any of this up, folks!" Blondie reported as she talked into her MirrorPad, using it to record the battle. "An actual clash of the Autobots and the Decepticons! This reporter still can't believe we never came across a world with giant robots before, but I can say for sure it is just right to see them in a parallel world to our own! Stay tuned!"

Bumblebee dodged from the blasts sent at him from Needlenose, using his shield. As he ran for cover, he shot back with his bladed blaster, sending the Decepticon back before converting the wheels on his legs to his soles, speeding at him before slashing him back with his sword. As he tried to attack with an axe, Bumblebee slammed his hammer at him, sending him back once again.

"I liked it better when you were smaller." Needlenose snarled.

"And I liked it better when you stopped talking." Bumblebee quipped, crossing both of his weapons in front of him before slamming at Needlenose, who attacked back with his axe and a claw on his arm, both caught in a lock.

As all the other battles were happening, Optimus Prime was using his Energon Blade to clash with Bludgeon, as everyone focused to him. He struck fiercely with his twin blades, eventually placing the Autobot leader on the defensive before engaging in a lock of their own. Without a word, Optimus Prime let his Energon Blade from his arm into his hand while also doing the same with his other hand. Now with two swords, he slashed Bludgeon away.

"Good hit." Bludgeon admitted.

Optimus Prime only sheathed his right blade and took out the Star Saber, surprising the Forever After Fighters.

"He's got one like Ravenicus?!" Raven Queen exclaimed.

"That's not just any sword," Apple Knight said. "It's the Star Saber, legendary weapon of the Primes. And it's not just Optimus who can wield it, any of the other Primes on our team can too."

"It's also Ravenicus's weapon." Dexter added on.

Bludgeon growled before placing both of his swords together into a double-sided weapon. He and Optimus Prime circled each other before he ran at him, striking first.

Optimus Prime held his Star Saber at the ready with his left Energon Blade, blocking the attack as Bludgeon started to attack faster. He held up both of his weapons, managing to block strikes from high and low before eventually kicking him away. As he did, he simply wiped off a scratch that caused his elbow to spark before dropping his Energon weapon, instead keeping just the Star Saber.

Bludgeon ran at Optimus Prime again, going for a high attack, but he blocked it and parried off before placing the Star Saber behind his back and quickly swinging it back in front of him to avoid a front strike. He bumped it off and went for several high and low strikes, all of which were blocked, before spinning and slashing at Bludgeon in the middle. He raised up his weapon, but the swords were separated before getting kicked away. He regained himself and slashed at Optimus Prime with his separated weapons, letting out a battle cry as he slashed at Optimus Prime high and low, which were easily blocked.

As Optimus Prime backed away, he spun back around, transforming into his truck form, before transforming back and sending both of Bludgeon's swords out of his hands with an energy wave. As soon as he was disarmed, he aimed the Star Saber at his neck as the rest of the Mayhem Massacre Force were in stalemates with the rest of Team Prime.

"That's why he's Prime." Briar Basher grinned.

"Whoa." Roxas said in amazement before seeing his Two Become One Keyblade glowing at the same time that the Knights' Talismans were. He and Rowan exchanged puzzled looks before looking back to the Autobots, starting to round up the Decepticon attack squad.

At the same time, Ravenicus Prime was still fighting against the Heartless while not too far away from her, Knight Melody and Flip Side were clashing blades, dodging each others' strikes before locking.

"You'll never stop us!" Flip Side roared.

"Watch us!" Knight Melody quipped before kicking her evil twin away.

Ravenicus Prime narrowed her eyes at the Heartless before using her own powers, sending out a magic wave that sent them all back.

"Hello there."

Ravenicus Prime turned around to see a Dark Corridor open. When it closed, Vernax walked towards her, her hands glowing as well.

"I was wondering when we'd meet again." Vernax grinned.

"You're helping the Decepticons, I take it?" Ravenicus Prime asked, circling Vernax.

"Gotta stay in top evil form." Vernax chuckled before seeing she was ready to attack. She narrowed her eyes as her fingers twitched, getting ready to attack as well.

Ravenicus Prime narrowed her eyes at Vernax, being cautious of how she was going to proceed. After a while of staring each other down, the two raised their hands to blast.

Vernax sent forth dark magic first, but Ravenicus Prime was able to blast faster, literally extinguishing the magic in her hands.

"Lucky shot!" Vernax growled before reigniting her hands and attacking Ravenicus Prime, who backed away while parrying off her glowing fists. "I won't let you get the better of me again, you weak-willed queen!"

"Yeah, I've heard that a million times before." Ravenicus Prime remarked before striking at Vernax. She blocked her fist before blasting her into the air.

"That all you got, Raven?" Vernax spat, cracking her neck before preparing to pull out her Digivice.

"Huh?" Raven Queen asked before looking to the side, seeing the battle going on as Knight Melody and Flip Side were staring each other down. "No…"

Roxas turned and gasped. "Ravenicus!" he exclaimed as everyone ran to the scene.

"Not… yet!" Ravenicus Prime spun in the air and formed her Headmaster, just as the rest of her Cybertronian body appeared.

"Wait… what?" Vernax asked. "You're not…"

"Vernax?!"

Vernax gasped as Raven Queen ran at her, armed with the Rebellia Blade as Roxas, Rowan and the rest of the Forever After Fighters and Knights made their way towards them.

"A third Raven?" Rowan asked.

"Long story short, she's Raven Queen's Nobody." Roxas replied.

"So, I fell for the wrong one?" Vernax asked, putting her Digivice away. "Well… I feel stupid right about now."

"Care to try that again?" Ravenicus Prime asked, aiming the Skybreaker at Vernax.

Flip Side and Knight Melody continued to clash before the former summoned several Sparkless to attack. Before they could, however, Riku ran in and slashed ten of them away.

"Riku!" Roxas yelled.

"Hey, Roxas," Riku smiled. "The other Darling caught me up on what's going on."

"We could use all the help we can get," Rowan smiled before hearing the rumbling get closer. "Speak of the Dinobot."

At that moment, Grimlock burst through, with Sora riding on top of him with his Kingdom Key Keyblade armed.

"Sora?!" Riku asked, surprised.

"Hey, Riku!" Sora called out. "Meet my new friend, Grimlock!" he yelled. "Caught me when we fell, and we got a lot of Heartless together."

"Me Grimlock like Sora!" Grimlock exclaimed before transforming, allowing Sora to get off and use Flowmotion to swing from several branches before landing next to his friends.

"What?!" Flip Side yelled as she backed into Vernax, causing her Digivice to drop and shatter.

"There's more of them?!" Vernax snapped.

As if on cue, Swoop flew in, with Ginger aiming her new Dino Riser at the Sparkless and Heartless, taking them out as the rest of the Dinobots emerged.

"Grim, Swoop, Snarl! Let's go!" Ginger called out as she leapt off of Swoop, her Dino Riser glowing. As it did, Grimlock, Swoop and Snarl all glowed, letting a small bit of power from each of them enter her Dino Riser.

When Ginger landed on the ground, she now had Swoop's wings, a shield in the shape of Snarl's triceratops head and Grimlock's sword. She spread out her wings to send several of the Heartless flying before ramming her shield at the Sparkless in front of her, sending them flying to Sora, who slashed them apart, right as she stabbed the sword into the ground to scatter several of the other Heartless around.

"You train all of your school?" Roxas asked, impressed, as the rest of the Forever After Fighters shared the same sentiment.

"To be honest, not yet," Rowan replied. "You're only looking at a fraction of the students here who chose to become fighters."

"You might have done a better job than me at teaching Ever After High to fight." Roxas mused, still impressed with mock jealousy.

"It would appear that time has not helped your skill," Optimus Prime said as both sides were now openly revealed to each other. "You are good as a warrior, Bludgeon, but not enough to best me like you did before. Time has changed since we last met, and there are more of us than there are of you."

"In short… it would be wise to surrender." Ravenicus Prime finished up, aiming her Skybreaker as well.

"Not yet!" Vernax yelled. She aimed at Ravenicus Prime, but she aimed back. However, Vernax instead fired at Optimus Prime, who leapt out of the way as Bludgeon regained his swords, surprised by the sudden feign.

"Coward!" Flip Side yelled, grabbing Vernax by the neck as the Decepticons now aimed at Raven's Nobody. "You will answer for this! To both our Masters!" she snarled before turning to the Decepticon forces around her. "Withdraw!"

Bludgeon, the Mayhem Massacre Force and the remaining Sparkless complied and transformed to get away, while Vernax was forced to use a Dark Corridor to teleport herself and Flip Side back to the Nemesis.

"Whoa," Apple White said as everyone gathered together, Briar Beauty briefly with an eyebrow raised as she noticed Ashlynn having gone barefoot. "What was that?"

"Decepticons with a good side?" Riku asked, surprised as well.

"Megatron is the leader of all Decepticons, and he is a fearsome warrior. A warrior with honor," Optimus Prime explained. "He detests all forms of cowardice. If he sees it in his ranks, he will make sure whoever committed it will never do it again. He is the kind of being who will never tolerate any form of dishonor."

"We should know," Roxas said. "The reason we took so long with Mira Shards was because she was actually fighting a fair fight with us instead of resorting to her cheap tricks."

"You're kidding!" Lea exclaimed. "Her in a fair fight?"

"We didn't say we enjoyed it," Xion said. "She was nearly a bloody mess by the end of it. We didn't want it to go on any further."

"And because Vernax resorted to that underhanded trick, and based on how Flip Side reacted…" Ravenicus Prime started out.

"It looks like the Decepticons hold this value to be true as well," Raven Queen finished up. "As much as I want to say she deserves what's coming to her, I honestly can't. She deserves a better end."

"He won't kill her," Arcee clarified. "Just beat some sense into her like he does with all cowardly 'Cons."

"But for now, it would seem, according to my scans…" Ratchet said as he looked to the holographic monitor coming from his wrist. "That all Decepticon and Organization activity has silenced for the time being."

"Hey, Ratch," Sandstorm's voice called. "Just got back to base as you ordered. Got some news."

"What is it?" Ratchet asked as everyone looked over to him.

"Got word from Kup, Hotshot, Ironhide and Sideswipe," Sandstorm said back at the Autobot Base. "Energon Towers will be arriving later in the next twenty hours, and they're bringing in extra security measures too. You can tell Edmund that he can lift the ban on Ever After High's activities soon."

"Wait," Roxas spoke up. "Who's Edmund?"

"Well, we learned from their Melody that Grimm isn't the Headmaster here," Briar Beauty whispered to Roxas. "Someone else named Edmund Burton is."

"Rowan, come in."

Rowan picked up the call on his Talisman. "Go ahead, Poppy."

"I sent back Cerise, but the other Cerise went with her, both to join you guys," Knight Poppy reported back at the Tempest. "Perceptor and Wheeljack have almost finished helping with Dexter 2 to patch up the Tempest, and I'm keeping guard with Atem. But we can't get it up and running since all the parts burned up during that crash, and we need a new source of power to fuel it. Two problems for one ship."

"Whoa, really?" Rowan asked as he looked to Roxas, listening in on the call.

"Don't worry," Roxas said. "I'm sure we'll find a way to make it work."

"Understood. And Roxas? Your other girls want to say they miss you," Rowan's Poppy said, causing Roxas to blush a little. "Rowan, I'll keep you posted if anything comes up. Right now, I'll keep Mirage powered enough to hold the illusion if Decepticon patrols come by, but they've stopped for now."

"Keep us posted. Over and out." Rowan said before the call ended.

"With activity having gone quiet, I suggest you take this time to rest and prepare for the next attack," Optimus Prime suggested. "Rowan, if these Forever After Fighters are from another version of Ever After High, they will know their way around this school. But be sure to accompany them to any place they are unfamiliar with, for we do not know how much our worlds differ from one another."

"Got it," Rowan nodded just as both Knight Cerise and Cerise Hood arrived. "Let's go."

"Good to see you." Roxas said to Cerise Hood as she walked next to him.

"I've got a lot to share with you." Cerise Hood started out.

Back at the Nemesis, Young Xehanort was walking into the lab, where Knock Out was watching over Mira Shards, attached to life support cables on a table.

"Doctor," Young Xehanort said as Knock Out turned to him. "How is Mira?"

"Well, we usually don't treat humans, but thanks to Flip Side, I was able to create life support systems that accommodate for anyone her size or taller/shorter," Knock Out explained. "Ms. Shards is currently comatose at the moment. Don't know how a coward like her could walk away from a fight with the combined might of two schools, but she had a lot of stuff to buff out. At the least, she's at forty percent. The other sixty should come later."

"Let me know when she's at full strength immediately. We need all our members alive, which includes her now that Lappex has the position Even had," Young Xehanort said before hearing some grunting from behind the door. "Excuse me." He said, walking out to see Flip Side dropping Vernax to the ground.

"Where is she?!" Megatron yelled, storming through the halls with Starscream and a new Decepticon who resembled Ratchet's first form, only he was green and black with a red right eye and a drill over his left arm. This was Scalpel.

Vernax got back up and summoned a sword with the Nobody symbol on the end, the blades being purple and black. Before she could attack, however, Megatron entered the room in rage, letting out his flail so he could knock her into the air, where he used his gladiator sword to catch her by the collar.

"Megatron! What is this?!" Young Xehanort yelled.

"You were warned what cowardice will bring!" Megatron yelled at Vernax before throwing her to the ground, where Shockwave silently scanned her. "I will tolerate all insubordination no longer!"

"Lord Megatron, I was attempting to attack Raven Queen… the Raven Queen which I am most familiar with," Vernax stuttered as Young Xehanort slowly summoned his Keyblade upon hearing what had happened. "We were outnumbered, and attacking Optimus Prime…"

"Let me make something clear, Vernax," Megatron aimed his sword at Vernax's throat so close that it just scraped the tip of her neck. "No one finishes off Optimus Prime except for me! And yet, you would dare attack him out of desperation rather than fight your enemies head-on?!"

"You what?!" Young Xehanort hissed, causing Vernax to gasp as the sword at her throat was lifted away.

"Megatron's code seems to really clash with the Organization." The male narrator said.

"Yes and he appears to be VERY committed to it. To the point he'll destroy anyone who doesn't follow him." The female narrator said.

"I can make up for it!" Vernax said quickly. "Right now, the Forever After Fighters are recovering from their crash, and their ship is damaged. I do not intend to attack it head-on in case their systems become operational again, but they intend to seal the Keyhole of this World, the very thing that will allow Heartless to continue pouring through."

"And what concern is this to us?" Scalpel asked in a deep voice.

"Allow me to explain, Lord Megatron," Bludgeon spoke up as he and the Mayhem Massacre Force stepped forward, all bowing. "But first… it is a pleasure to bask in your glory again after so many stellar cycles."

"Bludgeon… I appreciate the return of you and your Massacre Force, as you have decided to call yourselves," Megatron said. "Now… what is this concern over the Keyhole?"

"When we vanished, it was due to the Heartless that attacked us," Bludgeon explained. "We hardly had any control over them as they attacked everywhere, and only after a short while were we able to merge and become stronger with them, even commanding a select few to attack worlds of our choosing," he said. "It is the Heartless that gives us our powers. Without their influence after Roxas or another wielder of the Keyblade seals the Keyhole, our powers will diminish."

Megatron scoffed. "That would explain how you got so… robust… from being a tank commander," he remarked. "And this new power has shown promise. I cannot deny that it would be a turning point for us in the war."

"But this apostate cannot be allowed to go unpunished!" Flip Side protested before snarling at Vernax.

"Know that I will become the better version of Raven Queen, and by extension of this world, Ravenicus Prime, no matter what it takes!" Vernax recovered. "But now that my eyes have been opened, I will do so in fair combat with Raven… and Ravenicus Prime, if I must."

"Your Organization seems to be a bit brash, young man." Starscream hissed at Young Xehanort.

"Did anyone ask you?" Young Xehanort turned to glare.

"Starscream is right, Xehanort," Megatron said. "Two of your members have already admitted they have dishonor in combat against any opponent, and I have ensured they pay the price for cowardice. Who is to say you hold the same dishonor too?"

"Allow me to rectify myself before I err," Young Xehanort said. "And also call upon the right to fair combat."

"There is a way for all of us, then," Megatron said before turning to the Mayhem Massacre Force. "Bludgeon, prepare your troops to locate the enemy ship, the Tempest," he ordered. "We three, on the other hand, have a meeting to attend to."

Back at Ever After High, Briar Basher led Briar Beauty and Ashlynn into her room.

"Ever since the Decepticons infiltrated and then attacked Ever After High, we Knights have made sure to be prepared for anything," Briar Basher explained, turning around her bed rest to reveal several blades, firearms and a monitor that held some of her previous scans, as well as a medical kit. "You need any healing?" she asked. "Because I don't think you can keep cheating death with that curing spell."

"We're all good," Ashlynn said before lifting up her left foot to massage it a little. "Since you have another me as your roommate, do you know where she keeps her glass shoes?" she asked.

"Right there," Briar Basher pointed to a shelf on the other side of the room, where all of the glass shoes and boots were. "Take what you need, I'll explain to my Ashlynn why a set is gone when she gets back."

"Thanks." Ashlynn nodded before walking to get herself a pair. Before doing so, she walked into the bathroom and closed the door, the sound of running water heard afterwards.

Briar Beauty chuckled before looking to the floor. She took a deep breath and aimed her Violetta at it, causing some of the carpeting to clear away.

"I just have to see…" Briar Beauty said before lifting up part of the floor, revealing the compartment where she remembered the Storybook of Legends being. "You took it already."

"I'll pull it out of the well when all's said and done," Briar Basher replied. "For now—"

"You can't pull it out, now that it's in Wonderland." Briar Beauty said.

Briar Basher gasped as she turned to her counterpart. "That… that was the Well of Wonder?"

"Look, I'm scared of when I have to fall asleep, I know it's inevitable," Briar Beauty said, sitting down next to her counterpart. "But if being with Roxas has taught me anything, it's that no matter what, we don't have to face it alone. We'll be having someone by our side the whole way through. Maybe we don't even get to fall asleep, maybe we will… I don't know for certain. But you have to own up to this before it gets out of hand."

Briar Basher looked to Briar Beauty with astonishment before a smile came across her face. "I guess you're right," she smiled. "That must make you the better of us."

"I went through almost the entirety of my adventures with this sword," Briar Beauty took out her pirate sword. "It's from the greatest pirate who cheated death, Will Turner. There was a heart, one that if stabbed, could bound you to the seas for eternity, and the chance to set foot on land would be only every ten years. I wanted to be the one to stab it to escape my destiny."

"So… what happened?" Briar Basher asked.

"I was reminded by the Goddess of the Sea that it's not worth it if I can never see my friends every ten years," Briar Beauty replied. "Will wanted to do it to save his father, but was killed. Captain Jack Sparrow helped him to stab the heart, making him the new captain of the ship, the Flying Dutchman," she went on. "He made this sword, and was sadly the weapon he was killed with. When he came back, he made sure it would rightfully belong to me," she said. "I think of him all the time when I use this. I clean it, make sure it's in top condition, and I only modify it without changing how it looks, all to honor him. It's made me a bit of a neat freak, but it helps me to bring out my adventurous side. It's what has made me into a new strong Forever After Fighter."

"All I did was shoot a few arrows and get this Talisman, and I became the new Knight of Iacon," Briar Basher chuckled. "But you're right. Whatever fate may bring for either of us…"

"We won't have to face it alone." Briar Beauty finished, placing her hand on her counterpart's shoulder, just as Ashlynn came out with clean feet and new glass shoes.

"Much better." Ashlynn smiled, admiring the shoes.

Meanwhile, Roxas was being shown around to the hallway leading to the Headmaster's Office, seeing how different the school was compared to the Ever After High where he came from.

"We've got a lot going on here," Rowan explained as they passed Hopper talking with Lily. "Ever since we joined forces with the Autobots, the school has been changing."

"There's a lot here that's both different and the same from the Ever After High where I came to," Roxas noted before spotting Wheelie and Brains rolling on the ground in their vehicle modes. "Can't say I remember toys allowed."

"Who said we were toys?" Wheelie transformed, followed by Brains. "We're the school's Minicons, kid."

"He's new to all this. Settle down, Wheelie." Rowan assured while Roxas stood surprised.

"Anyways, we got word from Sandstorm about the update on the Energon Towers," Brains said. "And no 'Con's getting past the AllSpark defenses we put up any time soon."

"That's great," Marylyn said. "That means you can go wherever you want."

"Yeah, and right now, we're gonna see if Humphrey got us new upgrades," Wheelie said before noticing the other Humphrey with them. "The Humphrey of our school, I mean," he corrected. "I'm tellin' you, Rowan. Since word got out of there being another Ever After High, I feel like I'm gonna bust trying to make distinctions."

"Well, don't think too hard then," Rowan chuckled. "Now take care… and stay out of the girls' locker room this time."

"Accident, we swear," Wheelie said as he and Brains rolled away. "We snuck into this school, and we're labeled as Peeping Toms."

"They seem… friendly." Naminé raised an eyebrow.

"Not quite like the Digimon, but they have that kind of personality." Lea agreed.

"In any case, let me introduce you to our Headmaster," Rowan opened the door leading to the Headmaster's office, revealing Edmund Burton talking with Cogman. "Sir Edmund Burton, head of the Society of the Transformers."

"You really do have a different Headmaster than us." Xion said with awe.

"I can't believe Milton isn't head of your school." Rosabella said, surprised.

"Welcome," Edmund Burton said as he and Cogman walked up. "I got the word from Rowan about you all. It is a pleasure to have you here."

"Thank you," Roxas nodded as he and Edmund shook hands. "We'll try our best to keep the Heartless away from here, but until we find the Keyhole, it'll be a while."

"We have nothing but time," Edmund said as Cogman nodded. "I understand my granddaughter told you a lot about some of the changes here."

"Granddaughter?" Cerise Hood asked with a raised eyebrow.

"He means me," Marylyn said as she stepped forward. "Edmund Burton is a regeneration of Merlin."

"Wow, so you're his granddaughter, not daughter," Daring said. "Sorry, got mixed up there."

"I hope you don't mind me asking… but what happened to Milton Grimm?" Roxas asked. "Where we come from, he's still the Headmaster of Ever After High."

"I mean, a little grumpy, but still a good guy." Sora added on.

"Oh…" Cogman said as he looked to Edmund. "Should we tell them?"

"It is only right." Edmund nodded.

"What is it?" Humphrey asked. "What happened?"

"Milton hid the Decepticon leader underneath the school for years," Giles Grimm said, walking from the desk and surprising the Forever After Fighters. "Not only did that draw the attention of the Decepticons hoping to free him, but he had abused his position to force students to follow their destinies, neglecting to know how they felt about them and favoring only the Royal side."

"Sounds about right." Riku whispered.

"But what happened to him?" Roxas asked.

"For misuse of conduct and several acts against Ravenicus for trying to make her evil, as well as housing the Decepticon warlord for years and having complete knowledge of it, he was deposed," Cogman explained, surprising everyone. "The board thought it best for Sir Edmund Burton, someone who is not biased towards any side, to rule in his place."

"That sounds… so not just right," Blondie frowned. "I mean, I did help with him even if I thought he had questionable motives, but I don't think he deserves to lose his position."

"Until he sees the error of his ways for what he has brought upon the school, he remains deposed," Edmund Burton said. "I am sorry. What is yours like?"

"He's still the same," Roxas said. "But after having met us and learned our world was part of a bigger one, he started to warm up. Even asked me to succeed him as Headmaster for the future."

"Where is he?" Naminé asked. "Anywhere safe?"

Giles sighed. "Allow me," he said. "But know that only a select few can see him."

"It's crazy this world is so similar but also so different from the one we know." Brooke said.

Soon, Giles led everyone to the library. Before he could access the panel leading to the cave, Roxas stepped forward.

"I know this place," Roxas said. "You were held here before. You keep Headmaster Grimm here?"

"It is a place where he can reflect on his actions… and observe just as I once did," Giles said before opening the path. "You may enter."

Roxas nodded and walked through. He noticed the hollow cave nearby, with the damage from Thronecoming still there. Turning back, he saw Milton Grimm looking to a mirror.

"So… you are the leader of these newcomers?" Milton asked as Roxas walked forward. "How may I help you?"

In Apple Knight and Ravenicus Prime's room, Apple White and Raven Queen were looking to Ravenicus Prime's side with awe, admiring her décor.

"You know, Apple just decorated my side with everything evil against my wishes when we started out." Raven mused.

"Yeah… sorry about that." Apple White apologized, rubbing the back of her head.

"The Talisman changed it, most likely to remind me of who I really was," Ravenicus Prime said before looking to Apple Knight. "My Apple has just been acting more… stern lately."

"How so?" Apple White asked.

"She's been taking the war more seriously, taking fighting classes and becoming a bit aggressive in her Royal courses, you name it," Ravenicus Prime said. "And she's been presenting new weapons to us too."

"New weapons?" Raven Queen asked, surprised.

"I'll show you," Apple Knight said, surprising the three. "You don't have to talk behind my back."

Everyone looked to one another before Apple Knight pressed an Autobot symbol engraved into the side of her mirror. It flipped around, revealing a staircase to a lower room.

"How long have you had that there?" Ravenicus Prime asked.

"Ever since Thronecoming ended," Apple Knight explained, leading everyone down. "And ever since that day, I've been making sure I wasn't the same spoiled princess who strolled through the front doors of the school."

Downstairs, everyone awed at the sight of what appeared to be a massive smithy room, with several swords decorated along the walls, as well as shields, staffs, pole-arms, spears, bows, and other assortments of weapons all around, with a furnace and a hammer at the center, along with a pair of thick gloves and some goggles.

"So this is where you made that shield." Ravenicus Prime mused.

"Do you have something like this behind your mirror?" Raven Queen asked Apple White.

"To be honest… I wish I did." Apple White admitted, getting a strange look from her roommate.

"I've been improving and making weapons for us," Apple Knight explained, showing a storage crate full of Energon. "The reason so many of these hold is because I have been using metal shards from Autobot and Decepticon battles, and Energon that I could find from either around the school or from the twenty field missions we went on so far."

"This is a lot, even for the past couple of weeks." Ravenicus Prime mused, looking at most of the weapons.

"Yeah," Apple White agreed before coming across design plans of a sword with a red handle and a symbol of a blossoming white tree on it. "What's this?"

"A future project. Haven't gotten to it yet." Apple Knight replied.

Apple White curiously took a picture of it with her MirrorPhone before putting it away.

"Why are you doing this?" Ravenicus Prime asked.

"Come on, Raven," Apple Knight said, turning back to Ravenicus Prime as she put down a sword next to a shield. "You know how Ratchet would look at me. He was all for you becoming Ravenicus Prime, and hated everyone who stood against that destiny, including Grimm."

"Starting to think what this version of Headmaster Grimm is like." Raven Queen whispered to Apple White.

"Me too." Apple White nodded.

"He's coming around," Ravenicus Prime stated. "Besides, he hasn't sent you any looks when we're with you," she pointed out. "Why are you doing all of this so—"

"Because I watched you die!"

Ravenicus Prime was taken aback by the outburst, as were Raven Queen and Apple White. Apple Knight realized what she did and backed away.

"What do you mean, she died?" Raven Queen asked.

"During the night of Thronecoming, Megatron came after the AllSpark, the source of life for all of Cybertron," Apple Knight explained. "I was tasked with making sure it got out of Megatron's hands after he reawakened, but was targeted by him. Ravenicus took the blast meant for me, and as Rowan was leading me to safety… I could only watch as he shot right through her. She was dead for twenty minutes. Hot Rod, Rodimus Prime's form before becoming a Prime, fell to him afterwards."

"Apple, there was nothing you could've done at that time," Ravenicus Prime said. "And you have to realize, it wasn't your fault. None of us were strong enough after days of battle against the Fallen."

"But he took me over because of how I wanted you to live the destiny you wanted to rewrite," Apple Knight pointed out. "I started to make all these in the hopes of making myself more of a Knight. The Talisman given to me by Optimus rejected me at first… and I don't even know what caused it to accept me," she said. "Maybe it was a resolve to fight, or even because I had a change of heart then and there, but until I know…"

"You're gonna be following a new destiny," Apple White realized. "Knight, listen to me," she said as she walked forward. "Believe it or not, I've been there, wanting to become better than my story. It never ends well, with all the pressure of being like our mom. But know that you can do better by following your path your own way," she said. "Back then, we would have wanted to still follow our destinies, and our OCD would make us throw a fit whenever something went against everything we thought was right."

"Says you." Apple Knight said softly.

"Yes, says me. The one who saw she couldn't stand on the sidelines forever," Apple White glared. "But it came down to a choice; stand by and do nothing or step forward and help make a difference. I chose my path once I picked up my scepter. You chose yours when you picked up a sword… now choose how you want to make the most of it… how you want to make yourself better," she said as Ravenicus Prime and Raven Queen watched. "Forge away in self-doubt or fight on so you can learn from the mistakes you made," she said as she took out her Regal Union, aiming at the furnace. "What's your choice?"

Apple Knight turned around. "I guess you handled your sins better than me," she said. "Put it out for now… I'll fight… and I will win… for a better tomorrow."

Apple White smiled. "Waterza." She said, sending out a small stream of water, extinguishing the flame.

However, while Raven Queen and Ravenicus Prime smiled, Apple Knight stood aghast.

"I meant blow it out! It takes forever to make a new fire once it's extinguished!" Apple Knight yelped.

"Oh… sorry." Apple White said sheepishly.

Raven Queen laughed, as did Ravenicus Prime. After the latter was done, she looked to her counterpart.

"What Vernax was saying," Ravenicus Prime said. "She aims to become better than us? What's that all about?"

"It's with all the Nobodies of us we've come across so far," Raven Queen explained. "Each wants to show they're better than what we've become. Vernax, being my own Nobody, wants to be better than me since I chose to rewrite my destiny."

"And you believe in that nonsense?" Ravenicus Prime asked. "If you are Raven Queen, you know that we get to choose our own destiny. The next person who wants to be as evil as our mother can do as they want, but that's their choice. We can do whatever we want, whatever is right… not what is written out for us," she advised. "If she says you're weak, you never are. How many can say they have the strength to write their own story? To be able to go off the pages for a destiny of their own?"

Raven Queen chuckled. "It took a while for everyone," she admitted. "By now, everyone in my Ever After High knows that Ashlynn and Hunter are a couple."

"It's so clear, right?" Ravenicus Prime asked.

"I don't even think our Headmaster Grimm even caught on." Raven Queen joked.

"As long as he's not like ours, I'm sure he's gonna accept them." Ravenicus Prime smiled.

"What happened to your Milton Grimm anyways?" Raven Queen asked.

Back with Roxas, he was telling Milton everything that had happened with his counterpart from his Ever After High.

"After that, you tried to get Snow White not to take me… but I already left," Roxas said, reaching the events of the Dragon Games, when he got his heart. "I didn't want anyone else to suffer because of me."

"And I doomed your world like I did this one," Milton said. "I suppose no matter what I do in any world, I lead to chaos more than I try to prevent."

"You were kind enough to defend me, and try to search for me," Roxas pointed out. "After that, you even asked me to become the Headmaster after you and Giles. You were like a true father to me. Not like Xemnas, but someone who actually cared for me."

"I wish I could be flattered, but I am ashamed of what I have done, both here and in your world," Milton said. "Even if I can encourage my brother or Edmund that I can change, what makes you think they'll let me?"

"Because you gave me what I spread to others; a second chance," Roxas explained. "I arrived, and you thought I was nothing but trouble. Then when I told my life's story, you gladly accepted me, and even accepted change, no matter what you once believed in before," he said. "Ever since then, I spread second chances to those who want to make themselves better. It's a slow process, trust me, but everyone deserves a second chance. Even someone like you."

Milton looked to Roxas and smiled. "This other version of me… he sounds like a nicer person than I ever could be," he admitted. "Perhaps… perhaps I could show that I want to make amends. Being here for over twenty days… it opens my eyes… and so have you."

"You taught me everything you know." Roxas smiled.

Milton nodded. "Thank you, Roxas." He said.

"No problem," Roxas said, turning around. "And remember, your heart is your guiding key." He said before walking out, where everyone was waiting for him.

"Well?" Knight Melody asked.

"What did he say to you?" Miko asked.

"And you to him?" Naminé added on.

"I think he wants to show he can change," Roxas said. "I'm not saying you have to, but everyone deserves a second chance."

"We'll make sure he gets one," Rowan nodded before feeling his Talisman glow again. "What in the world?"

"You've been feeling it too, I see," Roxas said, summoning Two Become One, as it was also glowing. "What's happening?"

"Never happened before," Knight Melody said. "But if it's both of us…"

Rowan looked to the Knights present and nodded. They nodded back before raising their Talisman hands in the air. As they did, Briar Basher, Apple Knight and Ravenicus Prime felt their Talismans glowing in their own respective locations before raising their arms up. A beam sent from all of the Talismans, even from Knight Poppy back at the Tempest, before showing a path of light.

Roxas looked and aimed his Keyblade, causing it to also show the path. Everyone followed it down the hall, where several students took notice, even Maddie, as she was talking to Kitty.

"Now that is mad!" Maddie chuckled.

"Your Maddie the same as ours?" Rowan asked.

"I do love that girl." Roxas sighed.

Soon, everyone came to the room holding the AllSpark, causing Roxas's eyes to widen.

"What is it?" Ali asked.

"This… back at my Ever After High… this was my room," Roxas said, surprising the Knights. "I just… this is amazing!"

"Your room at your world is where we keep the AllSpark here?" Knight Cerise asked.

"What exactly is the AllSpark?" Blondie asked.

"The most desired power source in all of Cybertron," Rowan explained. "Limitless power. It gave life to all Cybertronians, and in the wrong hands, could end them too."

"Clean and decisive victory for the Decepticons." Xion shivered.

"Why does the path end here?" Lizzie asked.

"Maybe… it's what has been calling out to me," Roxas suggested. "Most of the time, it's Digimon eggs, but since we can't call upon them here, it had to be the AllSpark, but why?"

"The AllSpark, like any other part of life, works in mysterious ways," Rowan explained. He placed his hand on the energy field, causing it to split open. "And if it calls out to anyone, it has a reason. Maybe it wants to show you something?"

Roxas shrugged before walking through. Immediately, it scanned him. Afterwards, blurred holographic images came up, but Roxas could see himself in them.

"What are they?" Rosabella asked.

"I see me in them… and since I don't recall doing what I'm seeing… I think it's a future… a future with me in battle… with everyone I love around me," Roxas explained before coming across an image of what appeared to be him in front of a girl in a different version of the Organization's black coats, and with purple hair. "Who's this?"

"Wait a second." Brooke pauses catching that detail.

"Like you said, it's most likely the future," Rowan said. "So it's probably someone you're destined to meet on your journeys."

All of a sudden, the AllSpark flashed several other images. Some of them were the Transformers Roxas and the Forever After Fighters already met, as well as the AllSpark itself and vehicle modes before showing a giant titan with a ship flying around it. Then, from his Keyblade, a light shone, causing it to turn into each of the previous Keyblades he had gained, as well as all of the previous ones he held from when he was with the Organization.

"What's going on?" Apple Knight asked as the other Knights and Forever After Fighters ran into the room.

"Whoa!" Ravenicus Prime exclaimed, feeling her own Talisman lift up to aim at Roxas. As soon as it turned back into Two Become One, it scanned it, just as her broken Knight Sword showed in its own hologram.

"What happened?" Raven Queen asked.

"I… I don't know." Ravenicus Prime admitted.

When all of the glowing stopped, the AllSpark shot a beam out to Roxas's neck. Everyone watched as transformation sounds were heard before it too subsided. Soon, around Roxas's neck next to his necklace was a key that looked to be cybernetic, with a texture on it that was similar to that of the AllSpark.

"What in the kingdom?" Roxas asked, feeling the key before feeling himself getting pushed back out of the energy field, which closed to leave the AllSpark alone again.

"That's a cool key," Blondie admitted, having recorded what had happened. "Can I have it since you have the Keyblade?"

"I think the AllSpark gave me this for a reason," Roxas said. "Until we know what that reason is…"

"Rowan!" JD yelled, running into the room with Cedar. "Megatron is here!"

"What?" Rowan asked as everyone turned around. "Are there others in front to stop his attack?"

"That's the thing," JD said. "He hasn't attacked. He said he wants to speak with you, and Roxas, Ravenicus Prime and Raven Queen."

"He's waiting now!" Cedar added on.

The four aforementioned individuals looked to each other, concern showing on their faces.

In front, Lizzie was with Maddie, aiming their weapons at Megatron as he hovered in his jet mode, with Optimus Prime and the Autobots doing the same. Upon seeing the Knights, their allies and the Forever After Fighters step out, he landed, letting Young Xehanort and Vernax out of his cockpit before transforming into his robot mode.

"What do you want, Megatron?" Optimus Prime asked, narrowing his optics.

"For once, this has nothing to do with you, Optimus," Megatron said. "I wish to speak with Roxas Twilight."

"Well, here I am," Roxas stepped forward with Rowan, Raven and Ravenicus Prime. "Now are you gonna spill or what?"

"Roxas Twilight, I have seen you in action, and you have every trait worthy of a warrior," Megatron said. "And now, the time has come."

"For what?" Rowan asked.

"In accordance with the ancient traditions of Cybertron, I invoke the challenge of Aria Bellum," Megatron said, causing the optics of the Autobots to go wide. "The same goes for Xehanort and Vernax here."

"Call out who you choose to do battle with." Arcee narrowed her optics.

"I invoke the challenge… with Raven Queen and Ravenicus Prime." Vernax said.

"That leaves me to challenge you… son of King Arthur… Rowan Twain." Young Xehanort challenged.

"What's this challenge?" Lea asked.

"Aria Bellum is the ancient code of a right to challenge an opponent to single combat, both of equal strength and of equal power… on even terms," Optimus Prime said. "It is the fight of the highest honor… only invoked by those with honor in themselves."

"Boy these have a robots have a lot of special codes and rituals." The male narrator said.

"Yeah it's a little difficult to remember them all." The female narrator said.

"Maybe this is why Megatron is always so angry." Brooke adds.

"And if Megatron found Roxas to be worthy enough to invoke the challenge…" Bulkhead started out.

"Then he's a warrior to be reckoned with." Lea finished up, surprised.

After hearing this, Roxas walked up to Megatron, Rowan to Young Xehanort and Raven Queen and Ravenicus Prime to Vernax.

"I accept." Roxas said, surprising the Forever After Fighters, both present and back at the Tempest.

"Is he serious?" Wonderland Red Knight Chase Redford asked.

"This sounds like an Asgardian death match." Amora whispered.

"He can make it." The Darling Charming with the Forever After Fighters assured.

"As do I." Rowan said to Young Xehanort.

"Give him hell, Rowan." Miko said quietly.

"And us to you." Raven Queen said to Vernax.

"Both of us." Ravenicus Prime nodded.

Megatron grinned, while Young Xehanort simply nodded as Vernax narrowed her eyes to match the gazes of Ravenicus Prime and Raven Queen.

"What are your terms?" Roxas asked.

"You will meet us for combat at the forest, at a certain location that Rowan Twain is most familiar with," Megatron explained, causing Rowan to narrow his eyes. "Come alone, or forsake the code."

Roxas nodded. "Meet you there."

"In the next hour." Megatron said before transforming and flying off, just as Young Xehanort and Vernax teleported away through a Dark Corridor.

"You're accepting a fight with the Decepticon Leader, a young version of the man aiming to gain the X-Blade, and Raven's Nobody?" Riku asked as everyone walked up to the four. "How do you know any of them will keep their words on this even being a fair fight?"

"I'm with Riku here," Ginger said. "The Decepticons always have something up their… whatever they call their sleeves."

"I know what kind of person Megatron is… a warrior with honor," Roxas said. "He would have to forsake his own honor to not keep his word."

"And this is a chance to end another one of the Nobodies created in Fiore," Raven Queen added on. "How often have we seen them challenge us to single combat? Resecix and Xanamor were the only ones. None of the others did."

"And I don't have any reason not to accept a challenge from Xehanort," Rowan added on. "It doesn't matter if it's the leader of the Decepticons or the Organization, we'll come out on top," he said. "Or else we don't even try."

"You have to realize something," Ashlynn said. "We've still got the Mayhem Massacre Force and the Heartless to deal with, plus we still have a damaged ship."

"Let's see what we can do about the latter first," Roxas said before looking to Optimus Prime and the rest of the Autobots. "We're gonna need a lift."

"Autobots… Transform and Roll Out!" Optimus Prime called as he and every Autobot transformed into their vehicle modes.

Ravenicus Prime nodded before jumping up, letting out her Cybertronian body and transforming into her limo mode.

Everyone soon got into the Autobots, and they made their way back to the Tempest.

"You're sure we can do this?" Rowan asked Roxas.

"Whatever it takes." Roxas nodded while feeling the new key that the AllSpark gave to him.

Back at the Tempest, everyone was in a frenzy, with Knight Poppy, Atem and the other Autobots trying to get them to calm down, Rodimus Prime and several other Autobots joining to help out.

"Is he mad?!" Maddie exclaimed. "Taking on Nobodies and Heartless, that's one thing, but this sounds like a fight to the death!"

"I can't tell a lie," Cedar Wood said. "I'm scared to death!"

"Raven just accepted a fight with her Nobody," Dexter 2 panicked. "She's got the other Raven with her… oh boy."

"Calm down!" Atem called out. "Panicking won't solve anything."

"You have forgotten that we are still with a damaged ship, and those Decepticons could attack us at any moment," the Lizzie with the Forever After Fighters pointed out. "And with our best friends accepting a combat challenge, I would say it's off with the heads of Megatron and the Organization, and a time to panic for us."

"She's just like ours." Knight Poppy rolled her eyes.

"At least it's not as excessive." Smokescreen shrugged.

"They know what they're doing," Wheeljack said. "I've seen your Forever After Fighters fight, and the Knights too. They're gonna pull through."

At that moment, Optimus Prime and the Autobots arrived back with the Forever After Fighters and the Knights of Iacon. Everyone looked to them as they all transformed, with Ravenicus Prime reverting back to her human form and absorbing her Cybertronian form to join the others.

"Good to see you're all up," Roxas said before seeing that Holly was watching over Farrah. "How's Farrah doing?" he asked his Poppy.

"Amora and Faybelle both gave her healing spells since she helped Mirage keep up his illusion, cutting it close only a few minutes after noon," the Forever After Fighter Poppy replied. "She's getting better, but unless we need another miracle from her, she shouldn't be pulling off spells like that any time soon."

"She's got spirit," Roxas smiled. "Gotta admire that."

"What I can't start to admire is you taking up a challenge to a fight from literally the biggest enemy we've come across on our missions," Ramona said. "Honestly, Thor gave himself up to the Frost Giants, and while he indirectly killed one of them, he never challenged them to the death."

"You have to trust me on this, all of you to all four of us," Roxas said. "Look at us. We've been in worse scrapes than this, and I can name them from the top of my head," he said as he walked to the top of some damaged scrap, standing on top of it as he turned to the rest of the Forever After Fighters. "Rosabella, we survived a fall from space to Kauai, and got a friend from it in the end," he pointed out to Rosabella, who nodded in response as Leroy smiled at her, to which she responded by patting him on the head. "Maddie, when you and Amora had your first fight, you nearly tore the Forever After Fighters apart. But all it took was the most arrogant of you two to bring us back together."

"That's right," Maddie giggled before looking to Amora. "No offense, Teach."

"None taken," Amora smirked. "Just don't expect me to go easy on you when we get back."

"Apple burned her hands saving me from Xemnas, yet when she came back healed, she came back strong," Roxas went on, getting Apple to smile at him acknowledging her feat, "Courtly and Ramona were able to fight off against Dark Ace and the Cyclonians. We battled against Maleficent, and while we didn't win, we still lived to tell the tale," he continued. "And we went beyond the grave, and returned, and we got out of the fight with the Lingering Will to live and fight another day. We have been through hell and back, and not even hell itself can put us out," he said. "When we became the Forever After Fighters, we knew exactly what we were getting into. We have been through much worse than this," he said as the Forever After Fighters and the Knights watched on. "We survived the Dragon Games. We survived the Snowstorm of the Century. We survived the dragon attack on the Grand Magic Games, and someway, somehow… we will survive whatever else comes our way, because we are what we are!" he yelled. "From the day we traveled from Ever After High to the Castle of Dreams, starting the war for Kingdom Hearts, we were not just Royals and Rebels, or even Roybels, anymore… we are the Forever After Fighters, and we will do just that! Fight for forever after! And for all until we see everyone gets their happy ending!"

"YEAH!" everyone, Forever After Fighter and Iacon Knight cheered, all while the Autobots watched and smiled.

"He really is a great leader like Rowan." Rodimus Prime admitted.

"A true warrior, and a friend to his comrades." Optimus Prime agreed.

All of a sudden, Roxas felt his new key glow. Everyone looked to it before he saw the controls of the Tempest glowing as well. Taking the key off from around his neck, he walked up to it. As he hovered it over, a panel transformed away, revealing a port. Knowing what it meant, he inserted it into the port and turned the key, causing all of the Tempest to glow.

"Whoa." Rin said, looking around.

All around, the Tempest glowed. Each broken part of it began to rebuild itself, with burnt and scorched areas starting to become as good as new. Everyone continued to watch before each hole was sealed with the sound of transformation noises, and the Energon that was placed in began to flow all around, giving a blue glow. It continued to glow as all the damaged areas were fully repaired, with systems and power coming back so much that the monitors showing them nearly cracked. As soon as they were done, the symbol of the Forever After Fighters came onto the front, and the ship became sleeker and as good as new.

"How is this possible?" Merida asked Dexter 2.

"It's not," Dexter 2 smiled. "It's all Roxas."

Roxas watched with awe as well before pulling out the key, almost seeing the AllSpark form from it before the glowing subsided.

(Song End)

"That's what your key is," Rowan realized, stepping up and into the newly-repaired Tempest. "A fraction of the power of the AllSpark, limitless power."

"Well, don't get your hopes up yet," Roxas said as Dexter checked on the monitor screen. "Dex, what's the power levels show?"

"This… this is off the charts," Dexter 2 said as Dexter came over as well. "Everything reads… over 9000!"

"What?!" Roxas exclaimed, surprised.

"Shields, guns, engines and even thrusters say the same thing," Dexter confirmed. "Off the charts!"

"That's what the AllSpark can bring to our ship?" Ashlynn asked, astonished.

"Like we said… it works in mysterious ways." Ali said, taken by surprise as well.

All of a sudden, everyone heard a rumbling and turned around. To everyone's surprise, making their way towards the Tempest was a horde of Heartless, Sparkless, and the Dark Mage Nobodies, with Flip Side taking the lead, followed by Bludgeon and the Mayhem Massacre Force.

"They broke the code already?" Kairi asked.

"No, he kept his word," Rodimus Prime said as the Autobots stood ready. "Flip Side and the Mayhem Massacre Force never agreed to anything."

"They're coming for us," Atem said. "And we don't even know if the Tempest can fly yet."

"You need to hold them off," Roxas said. "Dex 2, take half of the Forever After Fighters into the Tempest and get it into the air. The rest of you, stay out here to hold off the army."

"Knights and allies, same to you," Rowan ordered. "We can't let them take the ship, or the school."

"What about you?" Meeshell asked. "The hour's almost up."

"We're gonna make sure we answer the challenge," Raven Queen said. "No way we're gonna let this Heartless infestation spread, it ends today."

"As you would say, Optimus, on this day… one shall stand… one shall fall." Ravenicus Prime vowed.

"We shall help to hold the line," Optimus Prime said as all of the Autobots armed themselves. "None shall reach the Tempest."

"Let's roll!" Ravenicus Prime yelled, leaping up and transforming into her jet mode, allowing for Raven Queen to get in.

"Come on!" Roxas called, pressing his bangle. As he did, his Keyblade armor appeared, just as Rowan flew up with a flight scan selected from his Talisman.

All four flew off, over the army, and towards the area of the forest where their battle would be.

"Well, you heard Optimus!" Sora yelled, taking out his Keyblade, just as the other Forever After Fighters took out their own weapons. "Hold the line!"

At the forest where Ravenicus Prime was reborn, Megatron, Young Xehanort and Vernax were all waiting, positioned at different areas to ensure they would have enough room for their fights. Rings were carved into the ground around them all as they stood and waited.

Finally, Roxas flew down from his Glider in front of Megatron while Rowan landed in front of Young Xehanort. Vernax scoffed before Ravenicus Prime and Raven Queen landed in front of her, the former reverting back to her normal form.

"How fortunate for you to finally join us." Megatron said, bowing slightly to Roxas.

"Glad to know we haven't disappointed you," Roxas replied, taking out his Two Become One Keyblade. "I'm surprised you kept your word… all of you."

"We have been disgraced twice today," Young Xehanort said, readying his Keyblade as well while Rowan took out his sword and activated his shield. "It shall go on no longer."

"Not gonna run away this time then?" Raven Queen asked as she and Ravenicus Prime got into fighting stances against Vernax.

"No more." Vernax shook her head, getting into a fighting stance as well.

Over all seven of them, some of Blondie's drones flew over, recording everything.

At the Tempest, as half off the Forever After Fighters were getting the ship ready, Blondie was busy recording everything while helping out at the same time.

"Here we go." Blondie said after taking a deep breath.

"One shall stand…" Roxas started out as Megatron took out his gladiator sword and the Dark Star Saber.

"And one shall fall!" Megatron yelled before he, Young Xehanort and Vernax all charged, which was met by Roxas, Rowan and Raven Queen and Ravenicus Prime respectively charging back at them.

Roxas held back Two Become One and swung it at Megatron, who blocked it with his Gladiator sword. The two struggled to gain momentum before Roxas was thrown off. However, with a backflip to recover, he stabbed Two Become One into the ground, separating it into Oathkeeper and Oblivion. Swinging them across, he charged again, just as Megatron sent out a dark energy wave with the Dark Star Saber.

As Roxas twirled over the wave, he sent back several energy slashes at Megatron, who cut them apart before the two met midway, locking blades once again.

Young Xehanort yelled as he swung at Rowan, who barrel-rolled over his weapon and aiming his shield, which turned into its blaster mode. He shot at Young Xehanort, but he deflected the shots before running to slash at him again. This time, Rowan got back up and held up Excalibur, locking with him as they tried to gain momentum. The two struggled as they circled around before jumping up and kicking each other away.

As this happened, Raven Queen and Vernax both sent magic blasts at each other. As they did, Ravenicus Prime leapt over and attempted to land a split-kick, only for Vernax to flip over her and attempt to punch at Raven. Raven held up her left arm to block it before she tried again, but Raven held her ground with the same arm before kicking Vernax away, who backflipped in response.

Vernax charged at Raven Queen again, this time taking out her sword. Raven simply dodged the swings before magic formed in her right hand. Right as Vernax swung at her, she swung back, causing the magic energy to block it. Soon, it turned into the Rebellia Blade, which she used to send Vernax back.

Ravenicus Prime took out her Skybreaker Sword and slashed at Vernax, who blasted it with one hand before slashing at her several times. Ravenicus Prime blocked it before Raven Queen joined in, attempting to throw Vernax off. All three of them broke off before Vernax attempted a strike as they were recovering. The three soon found themselves moving in tandem before all side-spinning in perfect unison. When they landed, Vernax swung at Ravenicus Prime, but she spun into the air, where her Cybertronian Body appeared twirling with her. When it landed, she was now in her full form, her mouth plate activating over her mouth.

"Just what I've been hoping for," Vernax grinned, aiming her sword again as Raven Queen rested her Rebellia Blade on her wrist to stand ready while glancing at Ravenicus Prime. "A fight worthy of my time… to prove once and for all that I am the greater—"

"We get it already, Vernax! Shut up and fight!" Raven spat before running at her.

Vernax, caught off-guard by the interruption to her speech, locked with Raven before spinning to attack Ravenicus Prime. While she did manage to hold up the Skybreaker in time, she was knocked back a little, but remained on her feet.

"You've stepped up," Ravenicus Prime noted. "Can't say anyone has pushed me like that before."

"I'm adapting to the change!" Vernax remarked, spinning in the air to perform a downwards slash at Ravenicus Prime

Ravenicus Prime blocked again and kicked Vernax back, who stabbed her sword into the ground to break her fall before getting up, wielding her sword in a reverse-grip as Raven approached. Keeping the grip, the two swung at each other before once more, Ravenicus Prime ran in, eventually flying at Vernax. All three leapt up and locked blades, all at once with Roxas and Megatron and Rowan and Young Xehanort.

"Do not let that ship get off of the ground!" Flip Side ordered the army back as she and the Mayhem Massacre Force were making their way to the Tempest, only to see the rest of the Knights of Iacon, their allies, the Forever After Fighters and the Autobots with their weapons aimed. Grinning, she aimed her sword out. "Go forth and rise up!" she ordered, prompting the Sparkless and Heartless to charge or fly in, with the Dark Mage Nobodies doing the same.

"Go!" Optimus Prime yelled, taking out an Energon Sword. Holding it out, an axe blade appeared on the end before leading the charge.

Chase Redford ran and used a reverse-grip to slash away one of the Heartless before Courtly used her Wild Destiny hammer to slam more away. As she did, she spun and sent forth several blue energy balls before several more surrounded her, allowing for her to send them at more of the incoming Sparkless.

Ali, Dexter and Atem held their ground and fired at the Dark Mage Nobodies, who tried blasting back with their own magic. Dexter just formed his Talisman Shield before throwing his sword, causing the lead Dark Mage to fall before Apple Knight and Apple White ran forward, flipping over the disappearing Nobody and landing to slash away some of the others.

"Hop on!" Arcee called out, firing away more of the Sparkless before transforming into her motorcycle mode. Dexter complied as he, Ali and Atem leapt on. She revved off into the army as the three proceeded to mow down the Heartless, Sparkless and Nobodies while the rest of the Mayhem Massacre Force fired back.

Knight Melody placed her sword in guitar mode and played it, sending several Heartless flying while her counterpart used her own blade, a flute sword known as the Hamelin Blade.

"Not bad." Knight Melody grinned.

"Thanks," Melody Piper smiled. "Check this out!" she turned the Hamelin Blade to use as a flute before playing it. As she did, the blasts sent at her all stopped before she spun around her sword, sending them all back in a rhythmic order.

"Impressive!" Knight Melody awed.

"I got a trick to use, but I'm saving it for the right time. You got anything to help stall?" Melody Piper asked.

"Like this?" Knight Melody spun around her sword, causing musical notes to appear. She leapt up and slashed each of them, sending them flying at the Sparkless before Flip Side grabbed one, crushing it.

"As if one was already bad enough," Flip Side glared as both Melodies got ready to fight her, now placing a Katana onto the end of her sword to make a naginata staff. "At least I'll have double the satisfaction of finishing you."

"Save your breath!" Knight Melody remarked.

"Until the time is right, that's what I'll be doing too." Melody Piper remarked before she and her knightly counterpart charged at Flip Side, locking with her immediately.

Maddie swung around her Energon Hammer before slamming at the ground. As she sent the Sparkless into the air, she was joined by Maddie Hatter, the two grinning at each other.

"Ready to release the madness?" Ally Maddie asked.

"Hat-Tastic!" Maddie Hatter clapped.

Both Ally Maddie and Maddie Hatter spun around their hammers before slamming them against each other. Soon, the Sparkless in the air were blown to bits as they ran to take on more of the enemy forces.

Briar Beauty fired several Sparkza spells at the Sparkless before using her sword to cut apart a Dark Mage. As she pulled out her sword, Briar Basher leapt over and stabbed more of them away, the two now fighting back to back to prevent more of the enemy forces from reaching the Tempest.

"Want to see a trick?" Briar Beauty grinned. She stepped forward and held her sword out. "Spindle Strike!" she called out, circling the sword in front of her until an energy spindle appeared. Letting out a yell, she sent it at the Sparkless and Heartless, a series of slashes coming out from each open area of the spindle.

"Bet you don't have this," Briar Basher pressed her Talisman, causing holograms of Wheeljack and Bulkhead to superimpose onto her. "Wrecker Armor, engage!" she called out, granting her heavy machine gun turrets on her shoulders, a grenade launcher over her right arm, a strengthened sword and a wrecking ball in her left hand, held by a chain.

"No wonder they call Briar Basher a Wrecker." The Female Narrator mused.

"So cool!" Brooke squealed excitedly.

Bulkhead and Wheeljack both fired at the incoming forces before seeing what was going on.

"Show 'em, Wrecker Style." Wheeljack grinned.

Briar Basher ran forward, firing from the turrets before slashing at the ground, causing a small quake to appear. She threw her wrecking ball into the air and then used her sword to send it forward, causing it to hit several of the Dark Mage Nobodies before spinning around, where it destroyed more of them before reaching the Forever After Fighter Maddie.

Crystal Winter backed away as she shot spells from her Ice Keyblade and wand. As she continued to back away, she found herself and Meeshell together. The two looked to each other and grinned as Meeshell was handed an ice version of the Song of the Sea Keyblade.

"WINTER WAVE!" Crystal and Winter called out, sending water at the Sparkless that froze into ice. The two formed a path that they skated on together before slashing through each of the Sparkless, causing them to explode.

Maddie Hatter slammed away with her mallet and spun around, sending the wrecking ball into more of the Sparkless before Ally Maddie caught it and took out even more, the two Hatters joining together again.

"This is so mad! I love it!" Maddie giggled before taking out her pumpkin bombs. She tossed a few into the air and whacked them at the Sparkless, breaking them into scraps while others were blown away.

Knight Poppy used her hair flails to lash at several Dark Mage Nobodies while Poppy O'Hair was using her frying pan to fend off against several Sparkless. The two backed into each other and grinned, both wrapping their arms around each other before kicking off of the ground. Both aiming out, they kicked in the air, giving them speed as they spun around, using their weapons to take out the Sparkless and Dark Mage Nobodies before landing.

"Love the locks." Poppy O'Hair smiled.

"Is that a frying pan?" Knight Poppy pointed.

"Hold that thought," Poppy O'Hair turned around and blocked an attack from Windsweeper with said frying pan before Knight Poppy used her Talisman to blast him away. "It's a great weapon."

"Suddenly… I'm jealous." Knight Poppy playfully pouted.

"Off with your heads!" the Forever After Fighters' Lizzie Hearts yelled, using an arm blade made of hearts, diamonds, clovers and spades to behead several Heartless.

"Double that!" Lizzie yelled, using her hammer-axe to do the same behind the Forever After Fighter version of Lizzie.

"Bloody hell," the Forever After Fighter Lizzie awed at Lizzie's hammer-axe. "That looks heavy."

"Only on the backswing. It's light otherwise," Lizzie shrugged before throwing the hammer-axe, sending out an Energon burst that caused more of the Heartless to disappear. "And has a hell of a boost too."

Back in the forest, Megatron flew back as Roxas gained an advantage over him. As he tried to swing his Keyblades at him, he grabbed Roxas and threw him to the edge, only for him to summon his Glider, flying on it until he was over Megatron, dropping and delivering a slash to his head. As he stumbled back, he transformed into his tank mode and fired at Roxas, who deflected his shots before transforming again, slamming the Dark Star Saber onto him.

"You certainly are a worthy human opponent." Megatron grinned.

"I would say you're a good robot opponent… but… yeah, that's exactly what I'll say, you're a good robot opponent," Roxas conceded. "Literally the first one I have ever fought."

Megatron grinned before throwing Roxas into the air. As he was there, he twirled and replaced Oathkeeper with Kingsglaive, using it to teleport back down before switching Oblivion with Fairy Tail Champion. Swinging both, he sent out several fire slashes, which were countered by Megatron's Fusion Cannon shots and the blasts from his shoulder turrets.

"Good… I like a challenge." Megatron chuckled.

Young Xehanort backflipped from Rowan as he slashed down at him. As he got back up, he slashed back, only to collide with his shield before kicking Rowan away. Rowan kept his stance as he recovered, aiming his sword out at Young Xehanort carefully.

"Excellent," Young Xehanort said as Rowan continued to hold his stance. "I would have hated to prove Megatron wrong in that you were no different from anyone else I had faced."

"When you say 'faced', does that include you turning down the fight with Roxas and his friends at Monster High?" Rowan questioned, causing Young Xehanort to tense up. "Or when you were told off by a toy?"

Young Xehanort snarled before Form-Changing his Keyblade into a Whip, which he lashed at out Rowan with. He blocked one swing with his shield before running forward, proceeding to cut it apart with Excalibur. When he was close enough, he slammed the sword down onto Xehanort, but he slashed him backwards before running to try and stab him.

"Prime Armor: Optimus Prime!" Rowan called out, summoning Optimus Prime's Energon Blade over his left arm to defend himself.

"What?" Young Xehanort asked.

Rowan looked up, gaining armor that resembled the appearance of Optimus Prime, which included a helmet with his faceplate. He sprung back up and slashed Young Xehanort away before taking out two Ion Blasters, using them to shoot him away.

Ravenicus Prime slashed down at Vernax, who dodged and ran up the blade to strike at her. She dropped her sword and backed away, taking out her blaster to defend herself with before spinning to kick her. As Vernax fell back, Raven clashed with her, but after a few swings, she was suddenly grabbed by the neck.

(Play Face My Fears (AG Cook Remix) by Hikaru Utada)

"Raven!" Ravenicus Prime gasped as she ran to help out Raven Queen, only to get blasted back by Vernax as she walked to the edge, preparing to drop her over the cliff nearby.

"This is why I'm the superior version of you, Raven! Both of you!" Vernax snarled. "I can match you whether you're a human or an Autobot! And all because I embraced the side of you that you were too scared to accept!"

"That makes you… a slave to destiny." Raven gagged, trying to free herself.

"No, I think not," Vernax smirked as Ravenicus Prime walked towards the Skybreaker. "With Mom's powers, I can make everyone fear me, just as you refused to have done to you. The difference between you and me is that I hold the power to rule over everyone, through fear of a name from long ago," she stated. "Because you turned it down, you have to depend on your friends to make you better."

"Better… than being a tyrant." Raven remarked, freeing herself enough to breathe.

"Without the true power of evil… you can't do anything that I can!" Vernax mocked, preparing to blast Raven in the face with a fistful of dark magic.

"I… can fly!" Raven exclaimed, kicking herself free from Vernax.

Vernax groaned and watched as Raven backflipped into the cliff. However, instead of falling, she used her magic to keep herself levitating before holding the Rebellia Blade firmly, now flying on her own.

"Surprised?" Raven asked upon seeing the expressions of shock on Vernax and even Ravenicus Prime. "So am I!"

"No!" Vernax yelled right as Raven flew at her, ramming her into Ravenicus Prime as she picked up the Skybreaker and slammed her away.

"This is where it really starts!" Ravenicus Prime proclaimed, aiming the Skybreaker while Raven flew next to her, both with glowing golden auras.

"Dark Pulse!" Faybelle yelled out back at the battle outside the Tempest, letting loose a dozen dark blasts from her scepter, the Spellbinder. The blasts hit several Sparkless before reaching Bludgeon, who deflected them with his swords before locking with her.

"You really hope to defeat us?!" Bludgeon yelled.

"We dare to!" Faybelle remarked before separating her weapon into a sword and shield.

Bludgeon slashed down at Faybelle, who held her shield up before slashing back. As he backed away, Optimus Prime ran in and used his double-ended weapon to slash at him, He took out his sword and slashed back, forcing Optimus Prime onto the defensive before Rodimus Prime ran in, using his own blaster to shoot him down.

"Dino Rising Shot!" Ally Ginger called out, riding on top of Grimlock. She aimed the Dino Riser out and fired, causing several Dark Mage Nobodies to scatter before she was launched forward, slashing at them and causing the others to try to flee until Ally Duchess stood in their way.

"Swan Stunners!" Ally Duchess yelled, sending forth energy feathers from her shoes at the Dark Mage Nobodies.

"Dancing Wind!" Forever After Fighter Duchess Swan called out, sending forth powerful gusts of wind alongside her counterpart. The combined attacks soon destroyed the Dark Mage Nobodies, causing the two to curtsy to each other.

"Stay down!" Ratchet yelled, firing from his EMP Blaster at the Sparkless. They all fell lifeless before he tossed his saw blade, cutting away at several Heartless in the process.

"Hey!" Spinister yelled, transforming and flying to fire at Ratchet. He took out his sword and deflected the shots before Humphrey noticed that both the Forever After Fighter Duchess and the Duchess allied with the Knights were almost caught in the crossfire.

"That's it!" Humphrey snapped, running to Ratchet. He leapt off of him and separated his egg-shaped shield, forming two jagged weapons. He yelled and landed on top of Spinister, bashing away at him and forcing him back into robot mode, where he continued to punch at him before scarring him across the face. As soon as that was done, he leapt backwards and tossed several of his egg bombs, causing him to fall where Bumblebee slashed him away.

"Nice work." Bumblebee complimented.

"Whoa… Humphrey…" the Forever After Fighter Duchess said in awe, blushing at the display of strength.

"He's a keeper, I'll give you that," Duchess grinned before turning to Flip Side as she forced both of the Melodies back. "Speaking of which…" she said, walking over.

Knight Melody was using her personal sword and her knight sword to parry away Flip Side while Melody Piper held her ground with the Hamelin Blade. Flip Side growled as she threw them both off, sending them flying back, but they remained on their feet.

"So the song ends here." Flip Side remarked, separating her weapons to aim at both of the Melodies.

"Gotta ask something," Knight Melody said as she and Melody Piper stood ready for the next attack. "How'd you get past our sensor mask to cloak the Tempest?"

"We didn't," Flip Side spat. "It was all too easy to locate thanks to Even."

"Then I guess we won't be needing this!"

Flip Side looked around for the source of the voice before Mirage came out from his stealth mode, followed by Duchess, both following through with a kick that sent Flip Side to the ground.

"Oh, I like you," Melody mused. She noticed Flip Side charging and turned her headphones around. "Cover your ears." She warned before singing a loud note, creaking a large echoing wave that sent Flip Side flying back into her forces.

"Nice trick." Knight Melody grinned.

"What?!" Melody asked, clearing her ears, causing Knight Melody to chuckle.

Across from the Melodies, Roxas's genie, Whisp Grant, was using her Three Wishes Keyblade to keep several Sparkless away. As she was, Arcee let Atem, Ali and Knight Dexter off so she could transform and fire away at Needlenose before Amora ran to attack him. She noticed more Sparkless attacking and fired at them as well.

Ali and Atem backed together into Whisp, causing the two to look at her in awe, to which she did in return.

"Oh My Fairy Godmother! Aladdin's kids finally meet a genie!" Brooke exclaimed.

"Roxas has a genie?" Atem asked. "Awesome!"

"You look like Aladdin and Jasmine." Whisp gawked.

"My mother's Zahrah, actually," Ali shrugged before all three turned to face an incoming Tank Sparkless. She dusted her shoulder and held out her lamp blaster. "Thinking what I'm thinking?"

"Oh yeah," Whisp grinned. "And call me Whisp." She added before flying into the lamp blaster, just as Atem took out a scimitar of his own.

"1001 WISHES!"

Atem ran forward and sent energy slashes from his scimitar before both he and Ali fired at the Sparkless. As they stood trapped in sand from the slashes, Whisp flew from Ali's lamp blaster and slashed them all away at high speed before returning to the siblings, where the Sparkless fell and exploded.

(Song End)

(Play The Destrons' Fierce Attack)

Needlenose fired at Amora, but she flipped out of the way several times before cartwheeling forward, aiming her hands out.

"Thundaga!"

Thunder flew at Needlenose, but he continued to attack. However, Miko ran in and slashed at one of his guns before Marylyn leapt in with both of her staffs, firing several spells that sent Needlenose back into his jet mode.

"Here," Marylyn said, handing her personal staff to Amora while holding onto her bequeathed staff from Thronecoming. "Let's get him."

"Spark!" Sora called, firing at Needlenose to help buy Amora and Marylyn time to attack.

"Dark Firaga!" Riku called, sending dark fire as well.

"Light!" Kairi called out, sending forth an attack from her Keyblade as well.

Needlenose flew around and fired back, sending the original three Keyblade wielders flying just as Marylyn and Amora took aim, followed by Naminé and Xion doing the same.

"FAITH!"

The four magic blasts combined into one once they met in the air. Needlenose transformed and took out his cannon to fire back, but was shot down by the combined spell.

"Nice." Xion grinned, patting Marylyn on the shoulder.

"I can see why Roxas loves that spell now." Amora smiled.

"Yeah," Naminé agreed. "Pretty powerful."

"A real classic," Marylyn agreed, causing the three to stare at her in surprise. "What? Even I know it."

(Song End)

(Play Confident by Demi Lovato (Start at 1:48))

"Come on!" Ashlynn called out as several Sparkless, Heartless and Dark Mage Nobodies charged at her. She spun around her Keyblade and lashed out at them before noticing several others fire at her. Letting out a yell, she twirled into the air, letting her own Keyblade Armor manifest onto herself before landing with her second Keyblade, Pride of the Ogre.

Xion, Alistair, Lea and Naminé noticed what was happening and ran over. They each pressed their own bangles, activating their own Keyblade Armors before joining Ashlynn in on the charge.

Alistair spun low and struck at several incoming Sparkless, using Lady Luck and Dunbroch Bonds to cut them apart before flying up on his Glider, where he sent out several arrows, hearts, clubs, diamonds and spades at the others, destroying them.

Xion flew over more of the Dark Mage Nobodies and slashed down at them once she willed her Glider away. Using Unity of Avalor and Frog Charm, she leapt up again before slamming her Keyblades down, creating a large wave that sent the Nobodies flying.

"You're going down, get it memorized!" Lea called out, sending flames and fire spears at more of the Heartless before turning both of his Keyblades into Chakram Rings. He spun them around, letting fire and vines surround them before throwing them at the Heartless, burning and impaling each of them.

Naminé spun back, letting her angel wings grow as she started to enter her Angel Drive. Arming herself with Swan Prophecy, she tossed her Chain of Memories Keyblade towards the Dark Mages in front of her, which spun so much that they were lifted off of the ground.

"Come on!" Naminé yelled as Chain of Memories flew back to her. She placed both together, form-changing them into a golden naginata. She spun it and slashed at each of the Dark Mage Nobodies and Sparkless as they each flew by her, cutting them to shreds, before spinning back and flying up. Separating her Keyblades, she sent forth white energy slashes at the group, destroying them.

Ashlynn parried away several attacks from some of the Sparkless with Pride of the Ogre before stabbing it into the ground. A quake was made from it as it made its way to the other Sparkless, stunning them.

"Midnight Strike!" Ashlynn called out, holding out Stroke of Midnight. She grabbed the end teeth and slowly slid it down the shaft, causing it to glow blue. She ran at each of the Sparkless and started to count as she attacked each one. "One… two… three… four… five… six… seven… eight… nine… ten… eleven…" she ran her blade past the last of the Sparkless before attacking the twelfth. As soon as she attacked them all, they all stood frozen. She held out her Keyblade again and slid the teeth back up, where the glow started to subside. Once it was all the way up, clocks appeared over the twelve Sparkless, each hitting midnight, before exploding away.

(End Song)

"Let's rock!" Jazz called, firing several blasts from his telescoping blaster, which caused a resonating wave that sent the Heartless and Sparkless flying.

"Whoa!" Windsweeper ducked and took out his Ikakalaka, swinging it at Jazz, only for Apple Knight to leap up with both her sword and her knight sword.

"Blizzaga!" Apple White aimed her Regal Union and fired a blizzard spell at Windsweeper, but just as it was his name, he sent the blizzard back as a storm, sending Apple Knight to the side.

"Going down, princess!" Windsweeper snarled, ramming his sword at Apple White, who held up Regal Union in defense before getting thrown back after six strikes.

"White! Here!" Apple Knight called out, throwing her sword.

Apple White nodded and leapt up, avoiding another slash from Windsweeper as she caught the sword in her right hand while placing her Regal Union scepter in her left. She crossed both weapons before running at Windsweeper, slashing his sword back several times before firing spells at him at random. He spun his claws on his wrists around to deflect them, but she moved too fast before Apple Knight dashed in and used her Knight Sword to slash him into the air.

"Let's go!" Apple Knight called as Apple Knight continued to dual-wield the sword and scepter. "Prime Armor: Ravenicus Prime!"

Apple White watched as Apple Knight leapt into the air, gaining the wings of Ravenicus Prime before the purple and black armor appeared over her. She let the helmet of Ravenicus Prime fall over her head before flying down, letting Apple White jump on her back. The two Apples flew at Windsweeper, who fired at them before they released twin blasts at him, followed by the two performing tandem slashes that forced him down.

"Nice armor," Apple White grinned before seeing the other Mayhem Massacre Force Decepticons recovering. "Dex, how's the Tempest coming along?"

"All systems are up!" Dexter 2 replied from the Tempest as Rin and the Forever After Fighter Ginger helped with more of the systems. "You should—" he started before several Sparkless flew to attack, only for Ginger Breadhouse to shoot them away. "You should—" he tried to say again before the Dark Mage Nobodies attacked this time, only for Rin to run out and slash them all with his sword. "Excuse me." He growled, getting out of the Tempest just as a Vehicon led several others to fire.

Dexter 2 stormed on out towards the leader, who aimed his blaster arm at him. However, he whipped out his blaster pistol first before blasting at his face, causing it to spin, before sending two more at his chest once, with the second blast being so strong that he was sent back, now with a hole in his chest.

"Tech Heroics!" Dexter 2 called out, putting his pistol away before aiming his Plasma Rifle Axe. Everyone watched as all of his firearms appeared and soon combined together, creating a large cannon with guns all over it. He inserted his rifle axe into the slot at the end and pulled the trigger, which sent out a large succession of blasts of all different kinds.

The Forever After Fighters, Knights, allies and Autobots fighting the Heartless, Sparkless, Dark Mage Nobodies and the Mayhem Massacre Force noticed what was happening and ran out of the way of the excess blasts that disintegrated the attacking Vehicons. They all soon hit the other Vehicons and Spinister endlessly before subsiding, leaving in the wake of destruction a large smoking crater, with Spinister flying out but struggling to maintain his vehicle mode.

"That was… unexpected." The Female Narrator said.

"Don't push people like that, Brooke, or that's what will happen." The Male Narrator said.

"Trust me, I would never now that I see the consequences." Brooke replied.

"Note to self, don't make Dexter angry." Merida shivered.

"Sorry about that," Dexter 2 said, walking back into the Tempest as everyone looked to him with amazement while the battles outside continued. "As I was saying, you'll have extra firepower in no time!"

"Mayhem, to me!" Bludgeon roared, getting Spinister, Ruckus, Windsweeper and Needlenose transformed, flying to him as he transformed. "And combine!"

"Combine?!" Cerise Hood yelled, taking her sword out from a Sparkless.

"Them too?!" Miko exclaimed in disbelief.

As Bludgeon formed the main torso, a Matrix that had a wild glow to it entered his chest. Spinister and Needlenose attached to his right and left sides respectively, forming the arms, before Ruckus and Windsweeper formed the left and right legs. Both of Bludgeon's swords fell into his hand, forming a double-ended weapon, before landing on the ground, sending both allies and enemies flying.

"Thunder Mayhem!" Thunderhowl exclaimed.

"Who?" Knight Poppy asked.

"A Combiner, one of the most deadly ones to ever have been aligned with the Decepticons, second to Devastator," Hound explained. "Not even Volcanicus could match its strength."

"But we must press on!" Optimus Prime yelled as the Dinobots combined to form into Volcanicus. "Let nothing pass us or hit the Tempest!" he ordered, taking out his Mega Striker. "Focus fire on Thunder Mayhem!"

"You heard him!" Jillian yelled as every gunslinger of both the Forever After Fighters and the Knights of Iacon looked to her. "Take him down!"

Everyone soon opened fire on Thunder Mayhem, with Volcanicus flying at him with his sword. However, Thunder Mayhem was now towering over Volcanicus, and locked with him briefly before shooting down, causing everyone to scatter.

"If ever we needed a miracle, it's now!" Ginger Breadhouse panicked as nearby, Farrah started to wake up.

Suddenly, something started to scan Daring, as well as Sora and Roxas, who was getting himself distanced from Megatron. All of them looked around before seeing beams return to the Tempest, now flying up.

"Uh, Dex?" Roxas asked as the Decepticon Leader, Xehanort and even Vernax stopped their battles to see the commotion. "What's going on?"

"That wasn't me," Dexter replied. "Something caused the Tempest to—"

"Crush it!" Flip Side ordered Thunder Mayhem.

"With pleasure!" Thunder Mayhem called out, absorbing the remaining Heartless and Sparkless into him. Now with more power, he raised his fist onto the Tempest, but it suddenly flew up, letting loose two jets.

"We have extra fighters?" Rosabella asked.

"That wasn't in any of the guides to the Tempest!" Dexter 2 exclaimed.

One of the jets transformed into a lion with cannons and wings on its back, firing at Thunder Mayhem, before the other transformed into a robot about half the size of Bumblebee, slashing at Thunder Mayhem as well. As soon as the two landed, the Tempest flew back down, now starting to shift around.

"What the—?" Poppy O'Hair asked as Holly's jaw dropped.

"Whoa." Alistair said in amazement.

(Play Titan/It's Over by Alexander Bornsetin)

The Tempest continued to shift until the Autobot deployed flew up and attached to the front while the lion attached to the back. Everyone watched as it shifted still, eventually forming into a large Autobot with wings on its back, cannons on its shoulders, a sword in its right hand that resembled a pin tumbler version of the Kingdom Key, a large rifle in the left, and a helmet that resembled the one that Roxas had on his Keyblade armor (Google Victory Saber).

"What is it?" Raven Queen asked.

"A miracle." Ravenicus Prime replied.

While Megatron stood aghast, Young Xehanort seemed to be enraged, an emotion he had not shown in any of his encounters, either with Sora and Riku or with Roxas and the Forever After Fighters.

"HOW?!" Young Xehanort yelled, all of his smug demeanor now officially gone at this point.

"Roxas, Dexter, Ginger… hello." The Tempest said.

"THIS IS SO EPIC!" Brooke yelled, to which Kitty, both Maddie Hatters and Roxas could only nod in agreement.

"Tempest… is that really you?" Dexter 2 asked. "What did you do to yourself?"

"I was a Cybertronian Titan lost in the war," the Tempest replied, starting to explain. "A rift in the universe brought me through several worlds, eventually being forced into this vessel and found by Master Yen Sid. I could only communicate my partial name, and have it placed on me… Tempest. Thus, after years, I was delivered to you, conscious of all that was going on, but unable to fully harness my potential as we traveled through the worlds once more. What you have been using to combat the Heartless… those were only a small fraction of my power."

"Others had a look at you," Dexter 2 pointed out. "Why didn't you reveal yourself then?"

"I did reveal myself to one individual, after being damaged by the Experiment known as Leroy… Jumba Jookiba," the Tempest went on. "He knew of a Cybertron back in Kauai, and was able to repair me accordingly. Others only caught my binary code, but were unable to fully discover who I was," he went on as his Autobot symbols changed to one that was a blend with the symbol of the Forever After Fighters. "When we crashed into my origin world, I was damaged, but thanks to Energon supplied by Wheeljack and Perceptor, I was able to slowly recover, diverting power to restore myself. But I still lacked—"

"A power source!" Apple Knight realized. "You still needed a boost of power to get yourself up and running again!"

"And it wasn't until you got that taste of the AllSpark that you got your final power boost!" Rodimus Prime finished up.

"And now, I stand before you again, as a reborn Titan of the Forever After Fighters of Ever After High, as Kingdom Tempest!" the Tempest proclaimed, raising its sword towards Thunder Mayhem. "May my spark, and our hearts, be our guiding keys."

"An Autobot," Darling Charming said. "Our ship was a living Autobot this whole time!"

"An ancient Titan," Optimus Prime said as he walked up to his trailer, now starting to attach to him, eventually forming his flight gear. "It is great to have you back again, old friend."

"Now we're talking!" Roxas grinned.

"Come on!" Ravenicus Prime exclaimed. However, before she could act, a light shone from her spark. "What's this?" she asked, seeing something form from the light.

"Ravenicus?" Raven Queen asked.

"Another surprise?" Vernax glared, being done with all the surprises.

From the light came Ravenicus Prime's damaged Knight Sword. It soon started to transform, turning into the Two Become One Keyblade, only with the back of the guard cut off and the keychain now absent, making it more of a sword now.

"The Keyblade?!" Raven Queen exclaimed.

"No way!" Roxas exclaimed. "But how… unless… when your Talisman was acting up…"

"That's what I was scanning!" Ravenicus Prime realized. "The Iacon Talisman was trying to find a new weapon to become my new knight sword! A replica of the Keyblade!"

(End Song)

(Play New Divide (Instrumental) by Linkin Park)

"It makes no difference!" Young Xehanort hissed, causing Roxas to jump at his more violent behavior. "You're all going to die!"

"Not this time!" Ravenicus Prime yelled. She spun around the Two Become One Sword, sending out a sonic wave that knocked Vernax back while Rowan summoned the Star Saber, which grew to the size of the real one, before slashing Young Xehanort back with it.

Vernax groaned before seeing her coat was now nearly shredded from the attack. As she got back up, Ravenicus Prime tossed the Skybreaker to Raven, who held it firmly as it was still a Transformer size.

"Come on!" Roxas yelled, forming his own Two Become One and running at Megatron, the silver on his coat starting to turn gold. "Vicennial Drive!" he yelled, summoning a black and gold version of the Kingdom Key, decorated with leaves, and with a 20 for the keychain.

"I shall enjoy this!" Megatron chuckled as he sheathed his gladiator sword. Using only the Dark Star Saber now, he clashed with Roxas, just as Rowan clashed with Young Xehanort and Ravenicus Prime and Raven Queen with Vernax, causing their energies to disperse all around.

Back outside of the forest, everyone watched as Optimus Prime took to the skies, using his cannons to fire at Thunder Mayhem alongside Kingdom Tempest. The Decepticon Combiner deflected the shots before slashing back, causing Kingdom Tempest to block with his sword.

Optimus Prime flew back at Thunder Mayhem, using the axe end of his double-ended weapon to slash him back. As he staggered, he let out cannons as his Matrix, the Matrix of Chaos, glowed. They all fired, but Kingdom Tempest spread out his arms, creating an energy shield in front of him and Optimus Prime.

"We take him as one!" Optimus Prime proclaimed as he summoned the Star Saber, now wielding it with his sword and axe. He activated his shoulder cannons and fired again, just as he let out small guns under his right arm, with the SkyBoom Shield latched over his left. He flew at Thunder Mayhem again, with Kingdom Tempest flying as well.

"None shall escape me!" Thunder Mayhem called out, flying up to take the battle to the skies.

"We need to see what's going on!" Marylyn called out.

"On it!" Ali called out. She leapt up just as a magic carpet flew over. Standing on top of it, she flew up, followed by the Forever After Fighters' Faybelle Thorn.

"Wait for me!" Miko called out. "Scorch, let's go!"

"Apple Knight, let's go!" Apple White handed Apple Knight's sword back to her as she somersaulted forward. "Constellation Drive: Peacock!"

Soon, as Scorch flew and attached himself to Miko's back, Apple gained a hawk-like helm, peacock wings on her back, and condor claws on her legs, giving her the appearance of a Phoenix warrior. Still with her Prime Armor, Apple Knight joined them as all three of them flew up, joining Faybelle and Ali as they soon met with Kingdom Tempest, firing at Thunder Mayhem with Optimus Prime.

"I really hope you're seeing this, viewers!" Blondie called from inside of Kingdom Tempest. "Our ship, having been used for travel for over twenty worlds to seal over twenty Keyholes, has been a living Autobot since before our journey began! Now, we ride inside of Kingdom Tempest! Will we come out on top? Stay tuned!"

"Kupo…" the Moogle of the Forever After Fighters said in wonder. "Not even I could create or synthesize something like this, my friend."

"You knew him?" Rin asked, turning around with an eyebrow raised.

"We talked through his coding, Kupo." The Moogle shrugged.

Optimus Prime flew forward and slashed with the Star Saber, only to be sent up higher with a backhand from Thunder Mayhem. However, he spun back around just as Faybelle, Apple Knight and Apple White joined up with him, causing all four of them to fire down together. As they flew back down, Faybelle dived down to deliver several slashes with her sword from her Spellbinder before Volcanicus flew up as well, blasting a stream of fire at him.

"Loving this so much!" Faybelle grinned before Apple flew down, aiming Regal Union at the Decepticon Combiner.

"Take this!" Apple Knight flew forward with her sword and the Skybreaker armed, slashing at Thunder Mayhem, slashing away his cannons.

"Triple Firaga!" Apple called out before sending out even more flames from her peacock wings, which caused Thunder Mayhem to stagger once again.

In the forest, Young Xehanort flipped forward as Rowan slashed at him with his summon of the Star Saber. He leapt back up and slashed back with his Keyblade, locking with the Weapon of the Primes, before forcing Rowan onto the defensive. As he did, Rowan shot off of the ground before tossing Excalibur at him, throwing him off-guard for a moment before sending out a sonic slash.

"Sonic Boom!" Rowan called out as the energy slash came out from the Star Saber, which hit Young Xehanort as he tried to use his own Keyblade to hold his ground.

Megatron sent out an energy slash of his own from the Dark Star Saber, but Roxas managed to send it to the side before leaping over the next wave sent out. As he did, he summoned his Glider and flew at Megatron. When he was close enough, he leapt out and slashed at him from above, sending the Decepticon Leader skidding backwards, before sending out energy slashes of his own from Two Become One.

"Not bad, Keyblade Wielder." Megatron admitted.

"Not done yet!" Roxas spun around both Two Become One and the Vicennial Trace Keyblade, sending out waves of sonic waves. Each of them started to form a large energy version of the symbol of the Forever After Fighters before they crashed into Megatron like broken glass. As he tried to recover, Roxas tossed both of his Keyblades at him, disorienting him.

Ravenicus Prime and Vernax yelled as they swung their weapons at each other, the Two Become One Sword colliding with Vernax's own weapon. As they struggled for momentum, Raven Queen ran in with the Skybreaker, knocking Vernax into the air, where she flew up and slashed through her several times using the Rebellia Blade. With a push from above, Vernax fell to the ground, though she was still able to stand.

"Take this!" Ravenicus Prime yelled, sending out her own sonic boom from the Two Become One sword. It collided with Vernax, sending her sword into the air before the counterpart of Raven Queen tossed the Keyblade sword to Roxas, who caught it with ease while she lit up her hands with her magic.

Megatron yelled and slashed the Dark Star Saber at Roxas, but he blocked it with the Two Become One sword before slashing him back. He continued to back him to the edge before jumping up and forcing him back to the center, twirling the Keyblade sword before resting it on his shoulder afterwards.

Optimus Prime flew down at Thunder Mayhem, slashing at his sword before Miko flew over, sending fire blasts from her swords, powered by Scorch. As she strafed around, Ali flew by and fired as well, with Kingdom Tempest dashing forward and slashing at his torso. Thunder Mayhem groaned as his torso, being Bludgeon, began to spark, and darkness from the Heartless and Sparkless they had absorbed bled out.

"This is where you fall!" Kingdom Tempest proclaimed, flying up higher into the sky. "Tempestuous Forever Strike!"

"What's happening?" Rin asked.

"Something good, I think." Dexter 2 replied.

Thunder Mayhem tried to fly back at Kingdom Tempest with his sword spinning, but Kingdom Tempest shot several blasts from each of his cannons, where the gunslingers of the Forever After Fighters seemed to appear firing with him, causing it to shatter, before flying back down as every other Forever After Fighters started to join him with their weapons aimed down before he stabbed him in the chest. They fell back to the ground faster and faster, to the point that everyone had to clear the entire area once they fell.

"This is the end!" Rowan called, spinning around and slashing Young Xehanort away, his Keyblade falling out of his hands.

"Begone, Megatron!" Roxas yelled, parrying away the blade of the Dark Star Saber before cutting his entire right arm off. As soon as he was literally disarmed, Roxas sent forth another energy slash, sending him crashing into three trees.

"Together!" Ravenicus Prime yelled as Raven Queen ran forward with the Skybreaker in her main hand and the Rebellia Blade in the other.

Vernax caught her sword and ran back at Raven Queen, just as Ravenicus Prime sent forth her magic at the two. Raven Queen absorbed some of it into her weapons while the rest set explosions off around her and Vernax. Soon, the two slashed through each other and landed opposite, facing away with their swords drawn out.

After a while, Vernax groaned and collapsed, just as Raven Queen dropped the Skybreaker and used her Rebellia Blade as a support for herself.

All while the three enemies were finished, Kingdom Tempest crashed Thunder Mayhem to the ground with his Limit Break at the same time. From the wake was a crater in the shape of the symbol of the Forever After Fighters, and the Mayhem Massacre Force separated and battered, with Bludgeon in the worst condition of them all.

"Fall back!" Flip Side ordered. "It's over!" she yelled as the Dark Mage Nobodies disappeared while a stream of darkness shot up into the air from the forest where the Challenge of Aria Bellum had come to an end.

Everyone looked to what had happened before breaking out into cheers with the Autobots, just as Optimus Prime landed with Apple White, Faybelle, Miko, Volcanicus and Ali. As soon as they caught sight of Rowan, Roxas, Ravenicus Prime and Raven Queen with their opponents down, they cheered even louder as they stood victorious.

(End Song)

Roxas grinned as he looked to Rowan, who nodded back in acknowledgement. Looking to the sword based off of his signature Keyblade, he tossed it back to Ravenicus Prime, who absorbed both the new sword and her Skybreaker into her Talisman with her Cybertronian form before going to aid Raven Queen. However, the two turned to Vernax, who remained on her knees with a defeated expression on her face, her sword now landed away from their arena.

"How… how did it come to this?" Vernax asked as Raven Queen and Ravenicus Prime walked over. "I could have been the better out of you two… out of every version of Raven Queen in existence… I embraced what you didn't, and yet… how did I lose?"

"Something about us Queens is something you didn't have," Raven Queen said, releasing herself calmly from her counterpart to limp over. "We chose to stray away from our mother, because… there's no point to rule… not if you're following the same path. I never wanted to be evil," she explained. She got down as Vernax began to collapse, catching her in her arms. "I will tell you that destiny is never set in stone. We are free to decide, and I always wanted to decide on something that would give everyone a happy ending."

"Not… a sign… of weakness?" Vernax stuttered weakly.

"It's never weakness to forge your own way," Ravenicus Prime said, walking forward as well. "Everyone, even the worst kinds of people, deserve freedom. Freedom to choose… and it doesn't matter what we choose, so long as it is the path we want."

"And I?" Raven Queen went on. "I didn't want to rule with fear… I wanted to serve as a good person, as a gentle soul. When you're evil, everything and everyone else just… disappears. It gets lonely at the top after a while. You forget who you even were," she said. "But… you don't have to be like that."

"Maybe… I can see it your ways," Vernax smiled softly. "I guess in the end… you were always better than me."

"We are better… together." Raven corrected calmly.

"Show me the way," Vernax smiled, closing her eyes as she started to fade away. "Both of you… show me…" she said before fading away completely into darkness.

Rowan panted as he willed away his Prime Armor. He walked towards Young Xehanort, who stood back against a rock, heavily injured from the attack.

"What now?" Young Xehanort mulled. "Come to gloat?"

"You see this?" Rowan asked. "Together, this is what we can accomplish when we let our hearts guide us," he said. "Not the rules of war, but how we wish to see tomorrow. That's why you'll keep losing, Xehanort," he said. "When you fight with darkness… you can't see the light of the next day… if you even plan to see it."

Young Xehanort scoffed. "I'll admit, I was cocky," he said, getting up and clutching his side as a Dark Corridor opened. He turned to Roxas. "I await when you and I clash on our own, Roxas. You have big shoes to fill." He said before vanishing.

Megatron got up, looking to his severed arm. He willed the Dark Star Saber out from his hand and placed it onto his back before looking to Roxas, Rowan, Raven Queen and Ravenicus Prime.

"The Challenge is over," Megatron proclaimed. "You all, Knights of Iacon, Autobots, and Forever After Fighters… have earned my eternal respect as warriors."

"Glad we could give you a fight to remember." Roxas nodded.

"But know that the war is far from over," Megatron said as a Ground Bridge opened up. "This battle has ended… I too await for our next epic clash." He said before walking back, carrying his arm before the Ground Bridge closed.

(Play The Arcane Merchant by Tines Sensahthe)

Unknown to anyone, Lappex came out from another Dark Corridor, walking towards the sword of Vernax. She sighed as she picked it up, the blades reverting from purple to red.

"To think I gave you my sword to give an advantage," Lappex sighed, admiring her weapon. "I suppose Ragnar wasn't enough, but… in due time… in the correct hands… I will have my chance," she said before turning to Apple White, who was being given a bear hug by Apple Knight. "We will meet again, Apple White," she proclaimed. "On another day… where our battle will go down in history." She promised before retreating back to the World That Never Was.

(End Song)

On the Nemesis, Young Xehanort emerged from a lab. He took a deep breath as life support cables disconnected from him. As he walked out, Knock Out was working on something, but closed it once Young Xehanort arrived.

"Is Mira up?" Young Xehanort asked.

"Sorry, just a personal project," Knock Out answered before turning around. "Yes, she recovered well. I can see with the minor injuries you sustained, going through our life support was like coming out of an oil bath."

"Thanks… I think," Young Xehanort said with a hint of quivering at the simile. He turned to the main door and entered, where Mira Shards was waiting. Megatron was also there, with his arm reattached, and Bludgeon was being placed into a pod. "Was this a total loss, then?" he asked.

"The strength that Mayhem absorbed was depleted, leaving them as they were before," Shockwave reported. "And Bludgeon is too damaged to repair into his new form. I shall have to reformat him completely if he is to survive."

"So no, it was not," Megatron said, turning back to Young Xehanort, just as Master Xehanort walked over as well. "Congratulations. It seems, despite trial and error, you have earned my trust as fellow warriors."

"I now see the error of my ways in my conquest," Master Xehanort said. "Not enough to stop me from my goal… but at least we have learned the concept of honor."

"As promised, you shall have some of our Dark Energon," Megatron said as several Vehicons brought over thirteen crates of Dark Energon, which Even then has the Dusks carry though a Dark Corridor. "Thirteen total for you all of Organization XIII should suffice."

"This will do nicely," Master Xehanort nodded. "Thank you, Lord Megatron."

Megatron nodded before the Organization finally vanished from their world. He turned back to Shockwave and nodded. He nodded back and uploaded the scan of Vernax into a terminal for the new project.

In the World That Never Was, Vanitas walked up to Braig and Kefka, just as other Nobodies, including those of the rest of the Forever After Fighters, gathered together, at Where Nothing Gathers.

"You must have been grinning a lot to see Mira on the receiving end, especially after she had the gull to mock you, you who had been around longer than her." Kefka assumed to a stern Vanitas.

"I was," Vanitas nodded. "Now… what's all this about?"

"Every member of the Organization has been called for this announcement," Sephiroth said. "I just don't know what it could be about."

Mira Shards made her way to the front, where Lappex was as well.

"All better?" Lappex smirked.

"Don't start." Mira Shards glared.

Soon, Master Xehanort appeared on his seat, looking down to everyone.

"We have gained a new power from our mission," Master Xehanort said. "But it is not time to applaud yet. Our time in that alternate world has allowed me to see how much we have erred…" he started out. "Which is why from this day on, I set forth a new rule, mandatory for all, no matter their number or rank, to follow. There will be no more acts of cowardice among us," he announced, surprising a few of the Organization. "No one will run from the battle, regardless of whether or not they start it. Unless your goal in the world is completed, you will not flee like a coward. You fight as warriors, as we always were!" he announced, causing a few members to tense up while Demyx only shrugged in agreement. "You will be monitored and punished if these rules are not followed. This is what we are," he finished up. "No more cowardice… you stand as warriors!"

Everyone remained hesitant for a moment before eventually, some unwillingly, they raised their arms, saluting in acknowledgement.

"Oh, I have mixed feelings about this." The male narrator said.

"The Organization won't run, but now they're more driven than ever to crush them." The female narrator said.

"Doesn't look as if they're too pleased about it, though. Either way, thanks a lot Megatron." Brooke said sarcastically.

Back at Ever After High, everyone gathered together in front of the school as Kingdom Tempest transformed back into his ship mode.

"Kingdom Tempest, I have to ask," Dexter 2 said as he walked out with the other half of the Forever After Fighters. "The lion and smaller Autobot… who were they?"

"Victory Leo… he was an ally of mine during the war. When he was damaged, he required a new form," Kingdom Tempest replied. "The other is known simply as Tempest. A carrier fighter, and the one who forms the head of my form. Victory Leo scanned Daring Charming for his form, and Tempest required a form from the strongest Keyblade warriors of the entire Forever After Fighters. Now… we are complete."

"Not just yet," Roxas said, not noticing his AllSpark Key was emitting another glow. "There's still the—"

"Roxas!" the Forever After Fighters' Poppy pointed.

Roxas looked to his AllSpark Key as it sent out a blast in front of him. It started to form into the Kingdom Key first before it transformed.

"What is it?" Rowan asked.

Roxas smiled in realization. "A gift for saving this world together."

After a few times of the blank Kingdom Key shifting around, the light cleared. From it was a new Keyblade, one with a straight blade with grooves on the sides, resembling the Star Saber and with the colors of Optimus Prime, Rodimus Prime and Ravenicus Prime. The center shaft was silver, and had the E and A letters decorated down to the rain-guard, which held the Autobot Matrix of Leadership. The guard around it aimed upwards, with the outer guard around the rigid handle having Royal and Rebel symbols on each of the corners, and the pommel had the Autobot symbol on it. At the end of the chains was the Matrix of Leadership, with the symbol of Ever After High inside of its core.

Roxas held his hand out, grabbing the new Keyblade and admiring it.

"That Keyblade looks just right!" Blondie squealed.

"A mix of Ever After High and the Transformers," Rowan agreed. "You get very cool Keyblades."

"What are you gonna call it?" Sora asked.

Roxas weighed it around before grinning. "Transforming Destiny." He declared.

"Spot on." Ravenicus Prime smiled.

The AllSpark Key glowed and flew in front of Roxas again. He looked to it before it shot up, revealing the Keyhole for the world.

"There it is." Apple White smiled.

"The Keyhole." Briar Basher assumed.

"Oh yeah." Briar Beauty nodded.

Roxas spun Transforming Destiny around before jumping back. Aiming the new Keyblade at the Keyhole, he sent forth a beam of light and turned it, sealing the Keyhole and causing it to close and disappear.

"That's it, then," Rowan said. "No more Heartless, right?"

"Right on that part," Roxas replied, willing away the Keyblade. "But it's not quite over yet. There's still one thing left."

"What's that?" Rowan asked with a raised eyebrow.

(Play Transformers Cybertron by Niall Stenson)

Later, all of the Forever After Fighters were gathered with the rest of the Knights and their allies for a celebration party, as the Autobots watched. Both of the Gingers were together, handing out blue ice cream sticks to everyone.

"Whoa, this is nice!" Rowan laughed after taking a bite from his ice cream with Roxas. "What do you call this flavor again?"

"Sea Salt Ice Cream," Roxas replied. "Salty, yet sweet."

"You can say that again," Rowan said. He noticed Marylyn and Miko talking before pressing his Talisman a few times. "Gotta tell the girls something."

Briar Basher, Lizzie Hearts, Maddie Hatter, Knight Cerise, Knight Poppy and Knight Melody all took notice before joining Miko and Marylyn in approaching Rowan and Roxas, the former getting up to walk to them.

"What is it?" Knight Cerise asked.

"Our time together with Roxas and the Forever After Fighters has gotten me to do some deep thinking," Rowan explained. "And thanks to Roxas, I have something good to announce," he said. "I know you were all upset that I called off on any relationships during the war, but after talking with Roxas on how he deals with his own harem, and seeing how many of you seem to like me, I want to say that not only am I proud of you for not fighting over each other… but I also withdraw my calling off," he announced, bringing smiles to the faces of the girls. "If any of you want to have a date, it's fine. I'm more than happy to make you all happy too. Just make sure you don't fight… and that none of you become jealous if this harem starts to grow."

"Will do, Rowan," Briar Basher chuckled with the girls before she walked up. "We promise," she said, kissing Rowan on the lips, causing the other girls to chuckle with mock jealousy. "You can bet that we won't let you down."

"Alright," Rowan said, blushing from the kiss before clapping his hands. "Let's keep this victory party going!"

Rowan's girls cheered as they went back to what they were doing, some of the girls joining their counterparts.

Darling Charming and the Forever After Fighter Darling chuckled as they watched.

"Your leader has a positive influence on you all." Darling noted.

"He's my boyfriend too," the other Darling replied. "You have to admit, he and Rowan are cute."

"They are…" Darling admitted. "But they're not really my type."

"Spiky?" the other Darling asked as Ali walked over.

"Male." Darling corrected before sharing a kiss with Ali.

"Ah, you're bi too?" the other Darling asked. "So am I." She admitted as Roxas and Rowan walked over for more ice cream.

"You are?" Roxas asked.

"I had my eye on Apple a little, but came to respect she loved you," the other Darling replied. "I had a thing for boys and girls, but in the end, I guess you won me over, Mr. Twilight."

"You both have great taste, and a great way of attracting everyone of any gender." Rowan joked, causing the five to laugh.

"So… what are you like with Rowan?" Apple White asked Apple Knight.

"Not sure yet," Apple Knight admitted. "I mean, he and Ravenicus are great mentors to me, but I don't feel that spark just yet."

"Been there," Apple White said before looking to where her room was. "By the way, I managed to reignite the fire I extinguished. You'll have a good flame going the next time you want to forge something next, and it makes up for me dousing it."

"Thanks, but after today, I think I won't be touching it for a while," Apple Knight said before taking out a tube. "Speaking of, I thought you should have this… after seeing you with a sword, I mean."

"What is it?" Apple White asked. She opened the tube and took out the designs of the sword she took a picture of. "You want me to have this?"

"You're good with a sword, Apple," Apple Knight said. "The full design should give you an idea of how to make one of your own."

Apple White smiled. "Thanks."

"But you gotta do something about your wardrobe," Apple Knight said, causing Apple White to laugh. "Seriously, you fight in a dress that big? Just ditch the skirt!"

"There's a lot we don't understand outside of our world," Ravenicus Prime said to Raven Queen. "But if there are others like Vernax who are copies of you guys, you'd better be prepared to face them, and show them the right way when all is said and done."

"I think it's best," Raven Queen agreed. "They need to know the right way."

"There's always a chance to save a few at a time," Ravenicus Prime said. "Look, Kingdom Tempest was there on Cybertron when the war started. If he's gonna be with you, I suggest you take with you some Energon to help keep him in check," she advised. "Plus… I like our adventure together. I really want us to meet together again, any of you Forever After Fighters."

"Me too," Raven replied. "Hey, if you want to come to our Ever After High, you're more than welcome to."

"Been working on that," Dexter 2 replied, walking over. "I was talking with your Dex, and I think that we could use the Space Bridge inside of Kingdom Tempest to come back here if we please and vice-versa."

"Sounds great." Raven Queen smiled.

"So, two Gingers," Rin said, watching both Gingers laugh as they talked with Cedar and her counterpart just as Riku looked to his Cupid, the two sharing a kiss they were joined by JD. "This sure was a wild one."

"It gets more wild from there." Cupid grinned.

"Let me guess," JD said, looking at Rin and Riku. "Dark sides to you both, and Rin has anger issues while you are the sane one?"

"You know how to tell people well." Riku said.

"Well, my Dad does say to read others like a book. And I know what demons are like," JD added, surprising Rin. "Hey, it's nothing new. I've got a familiar of my own… but I came here so that I could get away from magic."

"Nice guy," Rin said. "You'll fit in great here."

"I did just start," JD shrugged. "Thanks."

"So… you're the other me then?" Roxas's Daring asked Autobot Ally Daring.

"I have to say, in any reality, we look good." Ally Daring smiled.

"Do us all a favor, and never let that go to your head," Forever After Fighter Daring said. "Trust me, it will never lead to anything good if you remain forever conceited."

"Guess you're further into the future where you come from." Ally Daring said.

"You learn a lot," Forever After Fighter Daring replied. "I've come across two people who I am ashamed to say were like me before I became humble. Don't be too full of yourself, and look out for the little guys. They are what make you a true hero. Not the looks, not the charm, but what's in the heart."

Ally Daring nodded. "You have my word." He agreed.

"You've been to Camelot?!" Rowan's Blondie asked the Forever After Fighter Blondie Lockes.

"Well, not the same as the one you might have here," Blondie Lockes replied. "But still good. I still can't get over that you were in the presence of war generals."

"Listen to me, and learn your limits," Blondie said. "I went because I thought I would get frontline coverage, but war is hell. We got into the war, and I've become more humble ever since."

"I'm learning, I'm learning," Blondie Lockes said. "By the way, if you come across the Three Bears… do not barge in."

"Trust me, I think they already don't like me." Blondie rolled her eyes as Wheelie and Brains rolled past everyone.

"You see the double beauties all around?" Brains asked.

"Not too loud. Sparkplug is gonna get us if we're not careful." Wheelie whispered as they passed Ally Lizzie with Lizzie Hearts, Ashlynn Ella and both Hunters.

"Listen, if your Ashlynn is anything like mine, she'll call you," Hunter Huntsman said to Hunter as he checked his MirrorPhone. "I'm sure her training is coming along well."

"You actually designed each of this armor for everyone?" Ally Lizzie asked Lizzie Hearts and Ashlynn Ella.

"And we used them for a big game," Lizzie Hearts nodded. "But they're starting to get worn out, and I think it's time for a change."

"You won't get anywhere with all of those skirts, trust me," Ally Lizzie motioned to her lower abdomen, revealing she no longer wore her usual skirt. "They get in the way."

"What do you suggest?" Ashlynn Ella asked.

Ally Lizzie handed the two a tube with papers inside. "I was watching all of you in the battle, and while your armor is good, I came up with this design," she explained as Ashlynn Ella and Lizzie Hearts opened the tube to see the designs for themselves. "True Fighter wear, if I do say so myself."

"I think we can work with this." Ashlynn Ella grinned.

"Cerise, both of you, come on!" Ramona called as both of the O'Hair twins watched Ramona chase around Cerise Hood and Knight Cerise as they carried with them boxes of meat lovers pizza. "I'm not gonna hog it again, I swear!"

"Catch us if you can!"

"Both of us!"

Poppy O'Hair, Holly O'Hair, Knight Poppy and Holly all laughed before turning back to each other.

"You like being a part of this bunch too much." Ally Holly said.

"Trust us, it's mad." Holly O'Hair chuckled.

"Not as mad as both Hatters at a Whack-A-Heartless with blindfolds." Knight Poppy pointed to where both Maddie Hatters were using their respective hammers to slam away at Animatronic Heartless like crazy.

"Remind me not to play that game with them," Poppy O'Hair said before looking to Knight Poppy, pulling her aside. "You ever get a call from Nanny Nona?" she asked.

"What's she supposed to say?" Knight Poppy asked.

"Not telling, but know that you can't keep secret whatever she tells you," Poppy O'Hair placed her hand on her counterpart's shoulder. "And know that both you and Holly will be happy no matter what comes out from her."

"We always will be." Knight Poppy nodded as they saw Ally Holly and Holly O'Hair now giving each other new hairstyles.

"You actually died once?" Ally Faybelle asked Faybelle Thorn.

"For my friends, and know that if it happens, you will too for yours," Faybelle Thorn said to Ally Faybelle. "These people are worth dying for. They're the kinds of friends you'll argue with, but in the end, they're the ones you always want by your side."

"You didn't choose to sell out Hunter and Ashlynn?" Duchess Swan asked Ally Duchess.

"You'll find a destiny better on your own." Ally Duchess replied.

"That's what I like to hear." Duchess Swan smiled as the other Forever After Fighters were getting along with their counterparts as well.

"You're gonna need help with the Organization," Briar Basher said to Briar Beauty. "But with the war going on here, I don't think we'll be able to go with you."

"I think we can handle," Briar Beauty chuckled. "You're doing great here too. Just remember not to be afraid to tell them the truth of what happened with the Storybook of Legends. It'll make you feel a hell of a lot better."

"Thanks," Briar Basher said as she and Briar Beauty hugged. "I'll miss you when you leave."

"You too." Briar Beauty said.

(End Song)

Soon, the Forever After Fighters were all done, and were boarding Kingdom Tempest. Daring and Rin were helping to move Energon Cubes inside with Leroy, who was handling them with ease much better than them. As they were, Optimus Prime approached Roxas with Rowan and Ravenicus Prime.

"We thank you once again for helping to eradicate the Heartless and the Sparkless from our world," Optimus Prime said. "If you ever need any help, feel free to contact us."

"Will do," Roxas said before looking to the AllSpark Key. "And I'll be sure to use this responsibly. I think with it, we have a way of fixing our Digivices."

"It was good to get back to the basics," Sora admitted. "We didn't even have the Digimon when you started out."

"In that case, farewell," Rowan said, holding out his fist. "'Till all are one."

"To light the darkest hour." Roxas smiled, bumping the fist back.

"May your hearts, and your sparks, be your guiding keys of destiny." Optimus Prime bid.

Roxas and Sora both smiled before they boarded Kingdom Tempest. Once inside, Roxas took out the AllSpark Key and held it into the air. Energy from it flowed to all of the Digivices, repairing them completely as Kingdom Tempest took off. Once the portal appeared in the air which they flew in, lights came from each of the Digivices.

"They're gonna flip when they learn what they missed out on." Raven Queen chuckled.

"Sure will be." Dexter 2 chuckled.

"Kingdom Tempest, take us home." Roxas smiled.

Kingdom Tempest complied, and soon, he was flying upwards as everyone cheered.

Blondie laughed happily right as Kingdom Tempest flew the Forever After Fighters all the way back to their own Ever After High.

Watching from the top of a hill, someone resembling Jillian had seen everything happen. Next to her was a red Dodge Challenger with horns on the front.

"No wonder the 'Cons were after this school. It's where all the fun is," the other Jillian grinned before walking to the car. "You ready, Cliff?"

"Let's give them the horns, Jillian." The car, revealed to be an Autobot, replied back.

Jillian chuckled before getting in. After strapping the seatbelt in, and briefly flashing an Iacon Knight Talisman, the Autobot rolled off down the hill and towards Ever After High.

Much later, the next day after the Forever After Fighters had gone, everyone was going about their daily routines. The Knights were back at work, helping to keep watch over everyone, but no one minded the military presence anymore. Ever since meeting the Forever After Fighters, they had a big confidence boost.

Inside, Rowan was walking to his class when Apple, Raven, Dexter, JD, Cupid and Marylyn ran towards him.

"How are you all?" Rowan smiled.

"Ever since I stopped forging, I've never felt better," Apple replied. "The other Apple helped teach me a lot."

"Everyone from the Forever After Fighters taught us something," Cupid said. "With their help, we were able to become better versions of ourselves than we would have otherwise."

"And since Blondie and her counterpart shared the coverage over what happened with us, Hero Training is getting packed," Miko gestured to large numbers of students crowding to sign up for new classes. "Coach Gingerbread will have his hands full."

"You could teach them." JD suggested.

"Not much of a teacher," Rowan said as Faybelle walked towards him. "Optimus, on the other hand, I bet he could teach a new class."

Faybelle was about to speak up when she suddenly noticed something. Kitty and several other nearby students also noticed before they all ran outside.

"Look!" Rosabella called out, getting everyone outside to look up.

Rowan and the others noticed and ran out as well. Looking to the sky, they saw several distant objects moving towards the school. Accompanying them was a ship.

"Whoa…" Cedar said, amazed.

"They're here!" Faybelle exclaimed as everyone started to cheer upon seeing the incoming objects getting closer and more easy to see. "The Energon Towers are here!"

Everyone continued to watch before Maddie looked to her hat. Grinning, she threw it into the air, getting more of the school to follow suit and cheer even louder.

Edmund Burton smiled from his office before activating the PA System.

"With our school now secured… all activities are back on schedule!" Edmund announced, causing everyone to cheer.

Elsewhere, at the Dojo, Ashlynn Ella, the one who was with Rowan, was kneeling down before Prowl, also in a kneeling position.

"A lot has happened in the past three days, Ashlynn Ella, but after much challenges, you have passed your training," Prowl said before presenting a box to her. "Your new weapons as the first human to graduate from the Cyber Ninja class are here."

"Thank you, Sensei," Ashlynn replied. "Am I ready, then?"

"Yes," Prowl nodded as the box glowed. Ashlynn opened it, revealing a Talisman inside. "You are now ready to go back to Ever After High… to your friends."

Ashlynn smiled before placing the Talisman over her right ankle. As soon as it attached, she gained a suit that had slightly darker colors than her usual attire, as well as new glass shoes.

"Welcome to the Knights of Iacon." Prowl smiled, causing Ashlynn to smile.

Soon, Prowl was on the road back to Ever After High, with Ashlynn riding on him.

At the same time later on, aboard the Nemesis, Soundwave was looking over Ever After High, seeing the Energon Towers being set up. Spying on what was happening, he saw new Autobots at each position where the Energon Towers were being set before turning around.

Walking back into the Nemesis, all of the Decepticons were back to work. Megatron was now fully healed, his arm attached back to his body, before turning to face him.

"Defenses have increased, Lord Megatron." Soundwave reported.

"And we are finally ready," Megatron said before looking to Shockwave, Knock Out and Shrapnel. "Commence."

The three Decepticon scientists nodded and injected Energon into the project. Soon, a black and purple Decepticon, with some parts similar to Ravenicus Prime, emerged, only shorter and with a ninja mask over her mouth. On her back were a variety of ninja scythes, while a Katana was at her right side with a blaster at her left.

"What?" the new Decepticon asked, in the voice of Raven Queen. "What happened?"

"Vernax… hello." Shockwave said.

"What… what have you done to me?" Vernax asked.

"You are a shadow of Vernax, before the original passed," Scalpel explained. "We created an imperfect copy of Ravenicus Prime, and converted your essence into the Spark. You are reborn, Vernax."

Vernax looked to Scalpel, who only showed her a hologram of a futuristic Panther Deville. She scanned it, immediately transforming into it before transforming back, her eyes went purple and Decepticon insignias flashing on her.

"A new name is in order, then… from now… you can call me… Nightbird."

"Uh oh this is not good. Hope you can handle her, Rowan. She wants revenge." Brooke said.

Author's Notes: Well, I bet you weren't expecting a mega movie chapter like this, were you? I had been working with Cloud4012 on making a crossover with The Nobody of Ever After High, and here it is! It is canon with his own story, so what happens here happened later in his own story. I really hope you all like the surprise chapter, and the work we put into it. Cloud4012 added in some extra lines and the Narrator bits, and helped with what needed to be changed the first time around. I will try to have artwork from this up on DeviantArt later on. Please review, rate, and if you can, Private Message me for anything on the story. After all, I like to hear from you. For now, this is SuperHeroTimeFan signing off. Have a great week, everyone! See you soon!
