In the Evil Capital at a boardroom table inside of Evil's castle, Evil paced around the table, where his advisors sat watching him, along with Ghostie who was just sitting in another chair at the far end of the table away from everyone else. The reason for this meeting was simple.

The immortal Overhaul was dead, with his headless corpse lying on the table.

All For One, Ainz Ooal Gown, Young Xehanort, and Leviathan stared at Evil as he paced, before the young ruler of the world said, "I do not believe I need to stress just how important the situation is right now that Overhaul is straight up dead."

"Wasn't he mortal?" Ainz asked, scratching a bony finger on his cranium.

"No, he was not," Evil replied. "He was immortal, for he used the Dragon Balls to grant himself immortality."

"I'm sorry, he used a dragon's what?" Leviathan questioned, surprised by the words used.

"The Dragon Balls," Evil began. "A magical set of orbs created by the Namekians. When all seven are gathered, a mystical dragon will appear (depending on the set), and grant your wish before scattering across the planet and turning to stone for one year as they recharge."

Leviathan blinked from sheer bafflement. "You gather seven balls scattered across the planet, summon a dragon, just for one wish? Why? No, better yet, why would these 'Namekians' even make such a thing?"

"Well depending on the set and time period, the Dragon Balls can grant three wishes," Evil said. "But depending on the wish, it might use up more power and thus make it so you can only have two-"

"I don't care," Leviathan stated bluntly, cutting Evil off as he sat back in his chair with a glare.

"Regardless, Overhaul is dead," Evil said, gesturing to the headless corpse of Overhaul. "This is a problem…"

"With the context he is immortal," Xehanort began, "...yeah, yeah this is a major issue."

"He has been missing for a couple of days," All For One added. "It does surprise me that he has been dead this entire time."

"I know only one person capable of murdering an immortal," Evil said as he closed his eyes and looked down, before looking up and having a slight glare in his eyes. "Lego…"

"Your crazy creator?" Ainz asked for clarification.

"Yes," Evil said. "Him and his army. It is clear that this is a preemptive strike on-"

"What the hell are you on about?" Leviathan questioned, baffled once again by Evil's statement.

"Huh?" Evil looked at Leviathan, confused.

"First, if he got in this damn city, wouldn't we know?" Leviathan replied. "And second of all, what do you mean he can kill immortals?"

"Well how else do you think he's able to defeat my armies?" Evil asked, causing Leviathan's eye to twitch.

As Leviathan took a deep breath, he stared at Evil and said, "Let me make this clear; I killed Overhaul."

This took Evil's advisors by surprise as they looked at the King of Hell. Evil's jaw dropped. "LEVIATHAN, WHY?!" He shouted, confused and sounding angered.

"I believe he revoked his rights to live," Leviathan explained, crossing his arms.

"Considering you haven't really killed anyone else, you must've really hated Overhaul," Xehanort commented as he moved his chair back to try and put distance between himself and Leviathan.

"Please, I don't like everyone," Leviathan stated. "You lot are tolerable at best, Evil especially." Leviathan pointed at Overhaul's corpse. "I just hate him the most."

"But… why?!" Evil questioned again, confused why Leviathan decided to kill Overhaul.

Several Days Ago

"With Evil funding our projects and letting us get away with nearly everything, the Shie Hassaikai's comeback will be legendary," Overhaul said over the phone to one of his suppliers. "So, have you located Eri?"

"Da, she's at UA High School," his supplier said. "The Heroes have taught her how to use her Quirk as well."

Overhaul paused at that, before grumbling. "Well fuck…" As Overhaul continued walking through Evil's castle, he eventually entered into an empty corridor that Leviathan happened to be walking down. "It'd be helpful if we could acquire Eri. Even if Evil doesn't care about letting us destroy all coochie, we could at the very least control who or what has a Quirk."

"Do you even need the child?" The supplier said over the phone.

"Of course, Eri is the lifeblood of our project," Overhaul said, unaware of Leviathan stopping in his tracks at what he heard. "Without her, we'll make minimal progress. And besides, she's the Shie Hassaikai's boss's granddaughter. I'm not going to just let her get awa-" Overhaul's phone was destroyed by a sudden strike, completely obliterating the phone in his hand. "What the hell?!"

Overhaul turned around, before receiving a death glare from Leviathan. "H-Hey, what's the big deal?!" Overhaul questioned, before the tall man suddenly appeared in front of Overhaul, lifting him into the air by the throat and choking him with one hand. Leviathan did not say a word as he violently choked the immortal being.

In a fit of rage, Overhaul used his Quirk to destroy one of his gloves in an attempt to use his Quirk on Leviathan, but found his Quirk doing nothing. "Wh-What?" Overhaul croaked out, before Leviathan's grip grew tighter on Overhaul's neck, crushing his windpipe. "Y-You can't kill me you bastard! I-I'm immortal!"

"Immortal?" Leviathan questioned, his voice coming out as a growl. "I think what you meant to say was…"

"I'm mortal."

Leviathan then slammed Overhaul to the ground as he crushed his neck, knocking Overhaul out. As Leviathan let go of Overhaul, he then slashed at him with his hand, completely exploding his head. The immortal didn't move a muscle following the attack.

Leviathan stared at Overhaul's corpse, before merely grabbing him by the leg and wiping the blood off his hands. "Now to get rid of the body…"

"Doesn't matter," Leviathan said as he finished thinking back to the moment, staring at Evil with an unamused expression.

Evil groaned before sitting down in his chair and leaning back in it. "...at least I can lift the city wide lockdown and not force my city's enforcers to raid every single house to uncover a mole."

"Perhaps that will additionally help with all the people gathered outside the city," Ainz commented. Upon hearing this, Evil sat up in chair, his interest piqued.

"There are people gathered outside the city?" Evil asked curiously. "Why?"

"Well considering your city is one of the least restricting cities in the world, a lot of people have been looking to immigrate into your Capital," Ainz explained. "There are also a lot of people who come to the hospital here for the sake of getting an abortion."

"We have made a mint off of the hospital alone," All For One added, a wicked grin on his face.

"I think I should be flattered, but I'm more so confused," Evil said as he tilted his head. "What's an abortion?"

Everyone in the room turned to look at Evil, genuinely surprised for a moment, before everyone remembered he was a simplistic child with a mind for fighting.

Ainz sighed, before saying, "Abortion is the procedure that removes a baby from a woman's womb prematurely, usually because of a miscarriage." Ainz then pulled out a dictionary and quoted: "It is the deliberate termination of a human pregnancy, most often performed during the first 28 weeks of pregnancy."

Evil blinked. "...but why?"

"Some people don't want to parents, accidents occuring due to the influence of alcohol and drugs, rape," Ainz listed. "The list can go on since the reason differs per person."

"...right," Evil said. "...but why come to my city for that?"

"The United States of America has recently been banning abortion in many of their states," All For One explained. "Many women have died as a result due to their negligence and inconsideration of their fellow human and non-human beings." All For One let out a laugh. "They are corrupt after all."

Evil went silent for a moment, before saying, "That's gonna need to change."

"Why?" All For One now asked, surprised Evil would care.

"As ruler of the world, all of its people are my subjects," Evil said. "Therefore, I would need subjects to rule over if I'm to… ya know… rule." He crossed his arms and put one leg over the other. "The people I rule shall live as I want them to. After all, how can they fear my name if they're hurt or weak or helpless?"

In a twisted way, he wasn't wrong. Having the people in top shape and in perfect condition would indeed let them fear Evil, whereas they might embrace death or destruction if hurt or near death. On the other hand, what he wanted was basically noble and could be seen as heroic.

"Starting to see why you're on Santa's Nice List," Ainz commented.

"Whatever!" Evil said as he threw his hands up, before standing up. "Meeting adjourned or… whatever…"

"Actually, before we go," Xehanort began, catching everyone's attention. "I think maybe we should try to go recruit my ally who also survived the Organization XIII Massacre at the hands of Perfect Cell."

"Please, nobody is perfect," Leviathan commented.

Xehanort sighed before saying, "Ha ha…" Turning to Evil, Xehanort continued. "Anyways, seeing as you are still in the midst of recruiting allies, and you intended on helping me open the door to Kingdom Hearts, recruiting my former ally would be of use to our goals."

"What's their name?" Evil asked.

"Vanitas," Xehanort said. "He's… a special case when it comes to my allies who were a part of Organization XIII, because he is one of the purest forms of darkness…" Xehanort thought about the matter some more, adding, "He's also capable of spawning a special type of monster called the Unversed, beings born from the most negative thoughts and emotions. Only he can create them however."

Evil was quite interested in this as he looked at Xehanort. "Where can we find him?"

"I don't know," Xehanort said. "Wherever the Unversed might be since he enjoys causing misery for others, but even then, he might be elsewhere."

"How intelligent are the Unversed?" All For One asked, before Young Xehanort gave a shrug. "...you really aren't giving us much to work with."

"Well it varies," Young Xehanort replied with a glare. "And I barely know the guy! All I did was drag his heart through time to bring him here."

"Oh right, you can time travel," Evil commented. "...but why his heart? Wouldn't that kill someone if they didn't have their heart?"

Xehanort took a deep breath, before saying, "Technically, but I'm talking about a different kind of heart." Xehanort shook his head and stood up. "It's a complicated mess to explain, mainly to someone as dumb as you." In reality, Xehanort just didn't want to explain what it meant.

"HEY!" Evil shouted as he slammed his hand on the table.

"In any case, there is one potential area we could go to find him that is important to the worlds I am aware of," Xehanort added. "It's called Twilight Town, and is connected to a bunch of other towns and cities you need a Gummi Ship to access."

"...a gummy ship?" Evil asked. "Like… like a gummy bear?"

"It's a ship made out of special parts," Xehanort said with a deadpan glare. "Regardless, we can possibly find Vanitas in places linked to his past, or use it as a nexus point to continue our search. Meaning, we can travel to either the Keyblade Graveyard or the Land of Departure and start our search there."

"In the meantime, perhaps it would be best to send other people out across this world to search for your ally as well," Evil said. "Ainz, may I leave this task to you and your Floor Guardians?"

Ainz stood up and nodded. "We will try our best."

"Then let us depart and go find your comrade," Evil said to Xehanort. Turning to Leviathan, Evil said, "Leviathan, with us!"

"No," Leviathan said bluntly.

"I beg your pardon?" Evil asked, stunned.

"I have to deal with your shit on a daily, I deserve to take a break," Leviathan said, his annoyance still evident.

Evil opened his mouth to retort, but stopped. "...very well, you may take a break," Evil said. "Gonna need to find a third then… All For One!"

"I have experiments to attend to," AFO stated, before walking out of the room without a care in the world.

"Well, time to see if Ghostie will join us," Evil said, before looking down the table and seeing Ghostie gone, as well as Overhaul's corpse. "...where's Overhaul?" Everyone then turned to see Overhaul's body just… gone.

"I could've sworn I killed him," Leviathan said as he sat up.

"At the very least, let's just get going," Xehanort said to Evil, not wanting to wait.

"I'm going to get Ghostie, and then we'll depart," Evil replied. "You get set up since you're likely going to need to."

"God, you just have to have your way, huh?" Young Xehanort snarked, before Evil left the room to go see Ghostie.

Evil then knocked on the door to Ghostie's room, before saying, "May I come in?" The door then opened on its own, and Evil entered the room. "So, there's a vacancy in my expedition party. Wanna joi-" Evil stopped mid sentence upon seeing Ghostie sitting at her table with a bundle of Red Spider Lilies that looked as if they were blossoming out of a corpse.

Ghostie, however, was joined by another ghost child. This child looked like a young boy with black hair, empty black eyes, and a smile on his pale face. He also wore a white collared black kimono that was similar to a yukata. There was, however, blood around the boy's mouth, as if he were feasting on a corpse.

"Oh my god, Ghostie has a friend!" Evil said, surprised yet pleased. "Ghostie, who's your new friend?"

"Evil, for the love of Kingdom Hearts," Xehanort shouted from down the hallway, "HURRY THE FUCK UP!"

"Right!" Evil shouted back, before turning to Ghostie and her friend. "Ghostie, Ghostbro, would you two like to join me and Xehanort in hunting down one of his friends to replace Overhaul?" The two ghosts looked at each other, before Ghostie nodded, with 'Ghostbro', nodding after Ghostie. "Follow me!"

Xehanort, at the entrance of Evil's Castle, looked at Evil. "You done inviting your imaginary friend?"

"Actually, Ghostie made a friend," Evil said as he gestured to Ghostbro, who didn't appear to Xehanort. "I call him Ghostbro for the time being."

Xehanort's jaw dropped. "...but…" Xehanort took a deep breath and shook his head. "No… just… no." Xehanort turned around and started walking. "Let's just go to Twilight Town and start the search."

"Right!" Evil said, following Xehanort with the two 'ghosts' behind him.

"WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED TO TWILIGHT TOWN?!" Xehanort shouted as he looked around the destroyed and damaged town, which had been neglected for seemingly over a year, maybe two.

"Looks like it got attacked," Evil commented as he looked around, noting a giant crater in the middle. "...this also looks like it was caused by a Ki Blast." As they looked around some more, monsters showed up.

"Nevermind, it makes sense now," Xehanort commented. "This place has been overrun by the Heartless and Nobodies."

"...what?" Evil questioned.

"Heartless are beings of darkness that hunt hearts to grow stronger because instinct dictates it," Xehanort explained. "Nobodies are what is left behind when someone loses their heart. And judging by how monstrous these Nobodies are… they didn't have very strong wills to begin with." Xehanort looked at Evil. "As a member of Organization XIII, I can control the Heartless since I have a very strong will, but these Nobodies might attack us."

"Kill all that moves, got it," Evil said, before an Unversed suddenly appeared and started flailing wildly around, attacking the Heartless and Nobodies present.

"Definitely kill all that moves, that is an Unversed!" Xehanort said as he and Evil jumped back as pure chaos started as the Heartless, Nobodies, and the Unversed started attacking randomly.

"This is just like a bar fight!" Evil commented as he pulled out his Nichirin Blade and started slashing at the Heartless.

"How would you know?!" Xehanort questioned as he summoned his Keyblade, before smiting the Nobodies that got close with various spells.

"Well before I started ruling this city and I had a much more aggressive and villainous army," Evil began as he and Xehanort backed up into each other, spinning around and taking on the other's enemies, "my army was exceptionally violent when under the influence of alcohol."

"What, were they fighting in your base 24/7?" Young Xehanort questioned, baffled by Evil's history.

"Not all the time," Evil said, as he kicked a Nobody high into the sky. "But it was definitely a more common occurrence." Evil then chucked his blade at a Nobody like it was a spear, before turning to Xehanort and saying, "What, you don't drink?"

"Why would I?" Xehanort questioned, conquering an energy blade and stabbing it through a Heartless. "I might be of age, but that doesn't mean I have time to, nor would I want to." Xehanort paused mid combat after firing out a giant fireball from his Keyblade, and then said, "Hang on, do you drink?"

"Yes, yes I do," Evil replied. "Although I'm incapable of getting drunk due to the influx of powers I have that counteract-"

"No no no, you of ALL PEOPLE drink?!" Xehanort questioned, incredulous that Evil actually drank alcohol.

"Is there an issue?" Evil asked as he pulled out two lever action shotguns and then shot one of them at a Heartless behind Xehanort.

Xehanort, side stepping the shot to avoid catching a stray pellet, said, "YES, major issue! You have the mind of a child and you're an alcoholic!"

"I can stop whenever I want!" Evil retorted as Xehanort threw an energy blade at a Nobody behind Evil. "And besides, I haven't drank an ounce of liquor since I took over Earth!"

"Oh, and that is supposed to be reassuring?" Xehanort asked, a slight glare in his eyes as he seemed annoyed.

"I don't see the issue," Evil replied as he smacked a Heartless with one of his shotguns. He then pressed the muzzle to its head, before slamming the Heartless' head to the ground, and then blowing its brains out with a pull of the trigger. "If I can't get drunk, there isn't a problem."

"And that's what scares me the most," Xehanort remarked as he rolled his eyes. The large Unversed, a Wild Bruiser, then started charging at Evil and Xehanort, prompting Xehanort to shout, "Bruiser!"

"Monkey see, monkey do," Evil began saying as he charged at the simian Unversed, before slamming his shoulder into its gut, stunning the Unversed, and then finished with, "Monkey said; 'To Hell with you'!" Placing his hands in front of the Unversed, Evil fired a Ki Blast that engulfed the Unversed and completely disintegrated it.

Xehanort was a little surprised by that. "...did… did you really just…?"

"Yeah," Evil replied. "Why, you surprised by what I- oh right, we should've pressed it for information."

Xehanort rolled his eyes as he deflected a Heartless' attempt to attack him, before striking it dead with his Keyblade. "Alright, give me a sec," Xehanort said, before suddenly time rewound, and the Unversed came back to life.

Evil, now not trying to kill the Unversed, slammed it to the ground. Once the Wild Bruiser was on the ground, Evil grabbed it by the head and started slamming its head to the ground repeatedly.

"Oi, what the hell?!" Xehanort shouted, before the Wild Bruiser disappeared in a burst of dark flames.

"Don't worry, I probed it for information," Evil said with a thumbs up upon standing up. "I can read minds!"

"That just sounds like absolute horseshit," Xehanort said bluntly, unamused.

"The long and short of it is… he's not here," Evil stated.

Xehanort groaned. "Great, so we-"

"However!" Evil began, interrupting Young Xehanort. "This Unversed has been here for a while, so there is still a chance he's nearby."

"I-" Xehanort looked at Evil, stunned. "You-..."

"In any case," Evil began, before turning to look at Ghostie and Ghostbro, who were just standing nearby. "Have you two seen anything?"

"...you're not seriously asking your imaginary friends to help us, are you?" Xehanort asked, his concern and disbelief rising as Evil turned to the 'ghost children'.

"You got a better idea?" Evil retorted.

"Listen here smartass!" Xehanort began before he was cut off yet again.

"Shut the fuck up already!" A new voice shouted, before the two turned to see an unmasked Vanitas standing atop the remains of the clock tower, which has since been leveled with the clock face propped up against the remains.

"Vanitas!" Evil shouted rather quickly as he pointed at Vanitas, with it sounding like 'Ventus'.

Vanitas's eye twitched. "I am not that idiot brother of mine!" Vanitas shouted. "My name is Vanitas! And where the hell did you even get that name from?!"

"I said Vanitas!" Evil shouted back.

"No, you said Ventus," Xehanort said, siding with Vanitas.

"Why are you siding with him?!" Evil questioned as he looked at Xehanort.

"...I'm not answering that," Young Xehanort said before looking over at Vanitas. "Yo."

"Ah yes, the other survivor of the massacre led by your future self!" Vanitas said as he pointed his Keyblade at Young Xehanort. "Because his pride couldn't wait for a second! Because he couldn't grasp how to use the χ-blade despite preparing for years to use it!" Vanitas glared at Young Xehanort. "You. Are. Weak. For whatever reason you intended to find me for, save yourself the trouble and go back to the past!"

"Allow me to retort," Evil said as he looked at Vanitas, drawing the pure darkness' attention. "Join me!"

"I'm sorry, what?" Vanitas questioned.

"Join me and my army," Evil said with a smirk on his face. "You can do almost whatever you please!"

Vanitas scoffed. "The last time I joined a group, I watched my comrades get absolutely butchered by some jackass bug man." The boy born from pure darkness pointed his Keyblade at Evil now. "Why should I join you? What's going to be different?"

"Well for starters, I rule the world," Evil began, with Vanitas looking unamused at that. "As a result, you could ask me for anything, and I could likely give it to you."

"Say if I asked for Ventus' heart," Vanitas said, entertaining the idea slightly. "What then?"

"...like… like the organ?" Evil asked with a raised eyebrow, still not quite understanding.

"No, his heart," Vanitas replied. "Basically what makes him a person."

"I was really trying to avoid explaining this to him," Young Xehanort said to Vanitas, causing the pure darkness to look at Xehanort with a glare.

"What, is he stupid?" Vanitas questioned.

Xehanort solemnly nodded. "Yes, he is VERY stupid."

"Hey!" Evil shouted as he was insulted.

Vanitas seemed to growl at that notion. "Are you kidding me? An idiot rules the world?!" Vanitas began laughing, seemingly amused while mocking the situation at the same time. "That's absurd! You're absurd! This entire world is absurd!" Shaking his head a couple of times, a black aura surrounded Vanitas. "Ya know what… DIE!" Upon shouting 'die', from the black aura came numerous amounts of Unversed that beelined straight for Evil and Young Xehanort.

Jumping back from the approaching enemies, Evil shot both of his shotguns, the pellets hurting some of the Unversed. "Okay, so, new plan," Evil began as he continued jumping back, with Xehanort likewise doing the same.

"Yeah?" Young Xehanort asked as he similarly began chucking spells to dodge the Unversed.

"You are going to get out of the way, and I am going to power up and blow these minions to kingdom come!" Evil said as his shotguns disappeared into little sparks, before a golden orange aura surrounded him as he went Super Saiyan.

"What kind of plan is that?!" Young Xehanort asked while Evil charged forward.

Evil's right hand began cracking with mini-explosions before he pummeled the first of the Unversed in his path with a full on point blank explosion. He then raised his arms at the following Unversed and more explosions erupted from his hands. Evil walked forward, turning clockwise as the explosions hit any and all approaching enemies. Evil was quietly chuckling as the explosions rang from his palms.

"What in the world?" Vanitas said, surprised by Evil single handedly defeating many of the Unversed so rapidly, and unconventionally. "This world of superpowers is… odd…"

"Explosion is not a Quirk to mess with," Evil said with a smile as he looked at Vanitas. "Now, time for you to face me in glorious combat as I show you why I rule the world with undisputed-" Evil was cut off by more of the Unversed manifesting from Vanitas's dark aura. "I'm sorry, did I not just…?"

"You fool, he can summon the Unversed again even if they fall!" Young Xehanort shouted at Evil.

Evil seemed more interested than annoyed by that bit of information. "So they're like immortal minions?"

"In a way, yes," Vanitas confirmed. "The Unversed are born from me manipulating the most negative thoughts and emotions. The raw negativity gave shape to these minions of mine!" Vanitas let out a small laugh as he gestured to his summoned minions. "A horde of fledgling emotions for me alone to control!"

"So what, you're miserable?" Evil asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I am simply pure darkness," Vanitas replied. "And these? They're just another 'accident' born from my separation from Ventus's heart at the hands of Master Xehanort. They were the perfect army in a sense, capable of being used to train my brother in hopes of our clash forging the χ-blade."

"And what's different between the χ-blade and any other Keyblade?" Evil asked, confused as he tilted his head.

"It would be used to open the door to Kingdom Hearts!" Vanitas declared as he spread his arms out. "To start another Keyblade War!"

"Wait a minute," Evil began as he looked at Young Xehanort. "Isn't that what-"

"What I'm after, yes, yes it is," Young Xehanort confirmed.

"So you should join us," Evil said to Vanitas.

Vanitas rolled his eyes. "Hell no! The last time I worked with a group, they all died! I'd have better chances doing this on my own and finding original power unlike anything you've ever seen before!"

"But I'm going to help him open Kingdom Hearts," Evil said as he pointed at Xehanort. "Meaning you should join us because we have a similar goal, and he's your master!"

"No, he/I is/am not," Vanitas and Young Xehanort said at the same time.

Evil looked at them both. "...what?"

"He is not Master Xehanort," Vanitas told Evil while crossing his arms.

"...but he's Xehanort," Evil commented.

"He's referring to another me from a different time, specifically the modern era version of me who you could say is my future self," Young Xehanort said, before having to dodge an attack from the Unversed that started attacking him and Evil.

"Explain," Evil told Xehanort while dodging the attacks directed at him.

"Kinda can't!" Young Xehanort shouted as he struck down several small Unversed that were beginning to swarm him. Suddenly, an energy barrier appeared around him, preventing the Unversed from attacking the time traveling Xehanort.

"Now you can," Evil replied with a hum as he stood still.

Xehanort and Vanitas both just stared at Evil with dumbfounded expressions. "But… you…" Xehanort watched as the Unversed attacked Evil, with the Demon God standing there and not even flinching as he was attacked. After a moment, Xehanort said, "You seriously want me to explain, don't you?"

"Yes," Evil said.

"Long story short, I got the power to time travel from a version of me," Young Xehanort said. "However, I have never met Vanitas before in my life. Technically, the version of myself he knows is an older version of me who quite simply is known as Master Xehanort."

"...you were given the power to time travel by yourself?" Evil asked with a raised eyebrow.

Xehanort sighed. "...yes, I was."

"How?" Evil questions, confused. "Better yet, why did he give them to you? Wouldn't that completely rewrite history? Or did he use a time machine or some other mystical time traveling artifact?"

"It is a fickle subject I did NOT want to have with you for a reason," Young Xehanort told Evil as Evil was hit in the back of the head with a metal chair, though it did nothing. "Long story short, I dragged the hearts of several people related to me through time to the future, or the now, and we got refined replica bodies to house our hearts and anchor us to this time via a replica program so we didn't just go back from whence we came. Boom, done, can we move on?"

Evil looked at Vanitas for a moment, before looking back at Xehanort and asking, "...anchor your hearts?"

Young Xehanort's eye twitched. "...let me put it like this. If you struck him down, he would fade away and go back to the time I plucked him from. He would not die and go to the afterlife or whatever."

"Oh, so you have a weird time travel," Evil commented. "No wonder history hasn't collapsed…" Evil seemed to think about matters for a moment, before saying, "We should probably take over the Time Nest."

"The Time what?" Vanitas questioned.

"Where the Scrolls of Eternity from the Book of Beginning and End are stored," Evil explained. "It is an accurate recording of the universe's histor-"

"Just shut up and defeat the Unversed damnit!" Xehanort shouted at Evil, reminding Evil of the fight at hand, and reminding and alerting Vanitas to the fact his minions weren't doing jack squat to Evil.

Evil looked at the Unversed around him, watching them step back slightly. "...fine," Evil said, before flexing and unleashing a burst of energy around him that destroyed any of the Unversed a couple feet around him.

Not all of the Unversed were slain, as plenty of others surrounded Evil, sizing him up. "That's not all of them," Xehanort told Evil.

Evil rolled his eyes, before pointing at Vanitas. "You. Me. One on one. Now," Evil demanded, surprising Vanitas, but not deterring him.

"My minions aren't dead," Vanitas replied as he just created more Unversed from his aura while jumping back, putting distance between him and Evil. "So no, I will not-" Evil suddenly appeared in front of Vanitas with a distinct pop! that once again surprised Vanitas. "-what the hell?!"

Evil then proceeded to grab Vanitas by his leg before slamming him into the ground, knocking the air out of the darkness' lungs, followed by a couple more slams, and then throwing him into a ruined clothing store.

Vanitas stood up from the sudden slamming, tossing off the several dresses that had fallen onto him. "You're serious?" Vanitas questioned as Evil gestured for him to attack.

"Surely your minions aren't stronger than you," Evil commented. "I would be VERY disappointed…"

The being of pure Darkness glared at the Demon God. "Please, I'm not worried in the slightest," Vanitas remarked, before a silver helmet covered with dark glass appeared on his head. Vanitas then took a fighting stance, holding his Keyblade, Void Gear, up and towards Evil.

Evil smiled slightly, as if excited for the fight with Vanitas as he held his hand out to the side, with his Nichirin katana flying to his hand. Holding the katana in front of him, Evil said, "Very well then. Allow me to give you the courtesy befitting of who I believe should be the strongest Unversed."

Vanitas faltered for a moment. "Did I not say I'm pure darkne-"

"HAAAAAAAA!" Evil shouted, his golden orange aura igniting as he powered up. Once he stopped, Evil seemed smug. "Now, this is Super Saiyan 2."

"What the hell is the difference?" Vanitas questioned, the mask hiding his raised eyebrow.

"The little sparks of electricity," Evil said, as small arcs of lightning crackled around his body. "Oh, and my hair is slightly longer."

"Leviathan would find that absurd," Young Xehanort remarked to himself, still trapped in the force field by Evil and forced to wait things out while the Unversed pounded on the shield.

Evil pointed his katana at Vanitas with one hand, a smug grin on his face. "If you need to power up, now's the time."

Vanitas seemed to weigh his options for a moment as he was silent. After a moment of deciding what he wanted to do, Vanitas's dark aura resurfaced. Instead of creating more Unversed however, they all faded before flowing back into Vanitas. "You're an idiot if you're fine with letting your opponents power up."

"It just makes the situation more fitting as you learn that I outclass you," Evil retorted, before gesturing for Vanitas to attack him. Vanitas teleported above Evil in an instant, before ruthlessly attempting a downward slash with his Keyblade. Evil lifted up his sword and blocked the Keyblade, his cocky grin leaving his face. "And I wasn't expecting that…"

"Idiot," Vanitas replied as he kicked off Evil, putting distance between them and ending their blade lock, before firing a fireball from the tip of the Void Gear at Evil.

The Demon God ran forward, side stepping the fireball and proceeding to slash at Vanitas again, entering another blade lock. Evil however was aware of a change in the fireball's trajectory as he heard it split into three different projectiles that homed onto him. Parrying Vanitas's Keyblade, Evil jumped over Vanitas before kicking him into the homing projectiles.

"Hmph," Vanitas' response was. Evil could tell the fire did nothing to him from a glance. Vanitas lunged forward, firing several ice attacks into the air that swiftly locked onto Evil and shot towards him.

Evil took a breath before calling out, "Flame Breathing Fifth Form: Blooming Flame Undulation!" Evil performed a circular slash with his blade, flames sprouting from it and melting the ice, additionally parrying Vanitas' attack for a second time.

'He can control flames,' Vanitas internally noted as he put distance between himself and Evil with a quick teleport.

"Wind Breathing First Form: Dust Whirlwind Cutter!" Evil shouted as he lunged towards Vanitas, his katana summoning the wind around him as he made repeated slashes. Vanitas now had to guard and parry Evil's attacks, but several slashes got through.

To counter, Vanitas balled one of his hands into a fist and slammed it into Evil's rib cage, sending the Demon back enough to give him breathing room. Said breathing room was all Vanitas needed to fire off several more darkness fueled homing attacks.

"Water Breathing Sixth Form: Whirlpool!" Evil called out, before twisting his body in a circular motion, a whirlpool forming from his katana and surrounding him, canceling out Vanitas' attacks.

'It can't be this easy,' Vanitas thought to himself as he fired a lightning bolt from his Keyblade into the water, which then shocked Evil inside of the whirlpool before it dissipated.

"Should've seen that coming," Evil remarked in a rather unamused way, weary of the fact his tendency to conjure up the visualization of whatever Breathing Form he used got him shocked. "Xehanort, remind me to have Leviathan oversee my training later to try and drop my habit."

"Like your drinking one?" Young Xehanort replied.

"Oh shut up already!" Evil retorted as Vanitas slashed at Evil once again. The two seemed equally matched for the most part as their attacks clashed with one another, spending sparks here and there.

"You should go home," Vanitas told Evil. "Why waste your time on a fruitless endeavor? I'll simply kill you all the same. You will end up tiring out at some point, while I will just keep getting up time and time again!" Vanitas chuckled as he grew more ruthless with his attacks.

Evil sneered at Vanitas, amused by his words. "Please, we both know I'm holding back so I don't kill you or Xehanort!"

"Yeah right!" Vanitas said. As if to prove him wrong, Evil placed one hand on Vanitas' stomach and fired a Ki Blast, sending Vanitas through several destroyed houses, which ended with an explosion.

Getting out of the rubble with a cracked portion of his helmet, Vanitas was stunned for a second. "...maybe I'm in over my head," Vanitas realized as he looked up, before promptly getting uppercutted by Evil. The Demon grabbed Vanitas by his leg and slammed him into the ground, before grabbing him by the back of the neck and dragging him through the ground.

"You definitely are!" Evil told Vanitas as he flew into the air and threw him, watching him bounce several times and even hitting the barrier around Xehanort as he sprawled onto the dirt. "Now then…" Evil aimed the palm of his hand at Vanitas from where he hovered in the air, a glowing ball of energy gathering in his hand. "Now, say hello to my Big Bang Atta-!"

"Evil, if you fire that, he will return to the time he came from you dumbass!" Xehanort shouted at Evil.

Evil paused upon hearing Xehanort's shouting, before stopping. "...okay, okay, you're right," Evil said as he hovered to the ground and looked at Young Xehanort, removing the barrier. "I'm not used to situations so… fickle."

"Whatever," Young Xehanort replied as he rolled his eyes, with Vanitas standing up slowly despite the onslaught and the dirt he ate, he seemed relatively fine.

"Holding back…" Vanitas glared at Evil. "You must really want to recruit me."

"I'm giving you a second chance at life," Evil told Vanitas.

"More like second chance at being disposable considering what you told me about your army," Xehanort remarked.

Evil turned to the time traveler and said, "This time is going to be different, because I have you two to assist me in my endeavors! Lego has no Keyblade warriors in his army, meaning we can catch him unawares if you do as I say!"

"I haven't agreed to join you yet," Vanitas replied.

Evil glared at Vanitas. "Why? I won!"

"Not yet," Vanitas replied as he assumed his fighting stance once again.

Evil scoffed. "Alright, look, fine. Name your price and I'll get it for you. In return, you join my army! I'll even learn from Xehanort here how to get you 'Ventus' heart' as you're after or whatever."

"Really? You're that set on recruiting me?" Vanitas asked, not dropping his fighting stance. Evil then nodded frantically, making Vanitas reluctantly relax. "...Ventus' heart. I want it."

"Deal!" Evil replied. "And if there is anything else you'd like at a later interval, I would also acquire it for you as well."

"Hold on, since when has that rule been in place?!" Young Xehanort asked, confused and baffled.

"The whole time, and it extends you to as well," Evil answered as he crossed his arms. "Obviously I'd give my army whatever they wanted within reason."

"I… you…" Xehanort took a deep breath to calm himself before taking a few steps in the other direction. "I'm done. I'm… I'm heading back to the damn castle."

"Fine by me," Evil replied as he looked at Vanitas with a smirk. "Now then, welcome to my army, Vanitas."

"Whatever," Vanitas retorted as he flipped Evil off. Before they could return to the Evil Capital however, Vanitas suddenly tensed up and let out a pain yell as he clutched his head.

"What?!" Evil questioned.

Xehanort looked back at Evil, startled by the shouting. "Crap, he's likely getting sent back to whence he came." Xehanort walked up to Vanitas slowly. "Here, let me fix-"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Vanitas screamed as a black and white aura surrounded him, the power that radiated from him pushing Evil and Xehanort back.

"Demon Realm magic!" Evil shouted as his own Super Saiyan aura flared up and he entered a combat stance.

"You know what's going on?!" Xehanort asked, surprised. The two were then made aware of audible laughing, before turning and seeing someone flying in the air.

"Well well, seems like someone's in the know!" The mysterious stranger said as he smiled at Evil and Xehanort. "Ya know, if I didn't know any better, I'd say you're a part of the Time Patrol! Only they really know about this magic!"

The young man had purple skin, red eyes, and white hair in a ponytail, being fairly tall and well-muscled in build. Fu wears long-sleeved shoes, mustard yellow pants and a leathered, black-gray shirt with an "I X" between columns on both of its sleeves, mirroring each other reversely, while wearing a black buckle belt on top of his shirt around the waist area. He also dons black-gray fingerless gloves, with yellow wristbands.

"A Demon from the Demon Realm," Evil commented as he stared at the young man. "Who are you?!"

"I think you have bigger fish to fry!" The young man said with an unapologetic smile, excitement written across his face. Before Evil could ask what the Demon was talking about, he looked down at Vanitas, who now wore a black and white variant of his outfit that had a bluish hue to it, alongside the Time Breaker broken infinity symbol on the glass mask he wore.

"...Xehanort, run, that is an order," Evil said as Vanitas lunged at Evil rapidly, his speed having increased further from earlier.

"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Vanitas laughed maniacally, not in his right mind as he relentlessly slashed at Evil, forcing Evil to try and deflect his attacks.

"Where there's Dragon Ball, there is the Demon Realm," Evil commented as he disarmed Vanitas, his katana also getting sent to the side with Vanitas' Void Gear. Despite losing his most important piece of equipment, the enhanced Vanitas socked Evil in the face, sending him flying.

As Evil dug his hands into the ground to slow himself, he looked up and was promptly headbutted by Vanitas, causing a notable bruise on Evil's face as he was pummeled by Vanitas.

"DIE!" Vanitas shouted as a ball of darkness appeared in his hand, blasting it at Evil.

'Great, now his attacks are fueled with Ki,' Evil thought to himself as he recovered from the attack, flying into the sky. 'The only way to get him out of this is to beat the daylights out of him, but then I run the risk of sending him back to the past…' Upon seeing the maniacally laughing Vanitas fly towards him, Evil thought, 'Well, I can always get Xehanort to drag him back.'

Vanitas had no time to react as Evil suddenly appeared below him, before kicking him directly in the stomach with enough force to stun the enhanced Darkness. Evil backed up in the air, spinning rapidly as he delivered a devastating axe kick that sent Vanitas into the remains of Twilight Town, shaking the area and causing a crater directly in the middle.

Evil raised his hands above his head, gathering up energy into a ball. As he shouted and pointed his hands and the energy towards Vanitas, it shot out into many individual beams of energy, pummeling the area relentlessly.

Xehanort watched in astonishment as Twilight Town was razed in an instant by Evil's attack, the falling blue beams of energy destroying everything within the town.

"Oh my god…" Xehanort said to himself, stunned by what he saw.

As the attack relented, Evil looked down into the crater and saw Vanitas powered down and looking up at him. Vanitas was simply in disbelief by how quickly he was bested…

"What are you?" Vanitas muttered, outside of the normal hearing distance as he faded and returned to his proper place in time.

"A Demon who will track you down," Evil answered, not that anyone heard.

Young Xehanort walked up to Evil as he landed on the ground, saying, "You change your mind?"

"About what?" Evil asked.

"About recruiting Vanitas," Young Xehanort answered. "You… sent him back in time."

"The only way to put an end to the Villainous state is to beat them up," Evil explained. "It's how it's been. Always has been." Evil crossed his arms. "It's alright though, we'll just go nab him from his time."

"...you do realize you're gonna have to explain everything to him again, right?" Young Xehanort asked, causing Evil to look at him with a confused expression. "Oh my god, my variation of time travel literally dictates that upon returning to one's proper place in time that they lose the memories of all they experienced."

Evil gave Young Xehanort an unamused stare, not pleased with this version of time travel. "...tell ya what, why don't we just directly nab him from his time, complete body and all?"

"What, you can do that?" Xehanort asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Of course, I worked for years as a member of the Time Patrol, traveling through time is easy for me," Evil replied. "...speaking of, for future reference should you also somehow get sent back to your proper place in time, do you remember what day it was prior to obtaining your time travel powers?"

"Why? Worried I'll get sent back?" Young Xehanort asked.

"Yep," Evil answered. "Furthermore, could you write it down on this piece of paper?" Evil then held a standard piece of paper, before tapping his foot on the ground and causing a table to be made from the stone streets of Twilight Town.

Xehanort saw nothing wrong with Evil's preparations, and shrugged as he started writing the time down. "For once, I think you're using your brain."

"Yes yes, I'm aware," Evil replied, contemplating gathering Xehanort's memories right now or not. Evil then shrugged the thought away. "At the very least, you can just go back and observe your Organization when you come back to see what exactly happened or went wrong."

"...oh, you're talking about when I come back," Young Xehanort commented as Evil walked up to him and grabbed the paper, reviewing the date written down. There were additional tidbits too like location and whatnot to help Evil find Young Xehanort.

"Yes," Evil replied as he held his hand out towards Young Xehanort.

Before the time traveler could react, Evil balled his hand into a fist and suddenly thrust it into Xehanort's chest, stunning and causing an unbelievable amount of pain as his heart stalled. Xehanort clutched at his chest, looking at Evil in stunned disbelief.

"Just saving us the trouble," Evil told Xehanort. "Rather get this done with now than later." Evil smiled, a subtle one that was cunning and unforgiving. "Bye." Xehanort fell backwards, before disappearing back to his proper place in time, leaving nothing behind but a cloak.

Evil picked up the cloak and the paper and nodded to himself. "Damn I'm a good leader." He turned and then saw Ghostie and Ghostbro looking at him. "I hope y'all don't mind me disappearing for a bit. Gotta time travel and get Xehanort and Vanitas."

The two ghosts merely nodded, not caring about Evil's shenanigans or that he'd be disappearing for a bit to travel back in time. Evil, satisfied with their answer, smiled and said, "Alright, let's get back to the castle."

As Evil teleported back to the Evil Capital, Ghostbro looked at Ghostie with a curious smile. "So, when will we finally talk to him and tell him our names?" Ghostbro asked.

"Probably before we show ourselves to everyone," Ghostie replied. "He's odd."

A Long Time Ago

"Good ol' wasteland!" A young Xehanort shouted as he looked at the Keyblade Graveyard as he stood on top of a plateau, holding his Keyblade as he trained in the graveyard. "Yup! Sure is some kickass training!" After a moment of silence, Xehanort sighed. "Goddamnit I'm lonely." Xehanort conjured an orb with his Keyblade, adding to his monologue, "Might as well check MySpace…"

"Xehanort, good friend," a voice called out to the Keyblade Master from behind, causing him to turn around and see a cloaked figure. "The hell is a 'MySpace'?"

"Who are you?" Xehanort asked as he tensed up, holding his Keyblade in a defensive stance.

"I, friend from the past, am an acquaintance who values you for your abilities," the cloaked figure explained. The figure extended his hand towards Xehanort. "And your story doesn't end in mediocrity…" The light from the sun shone on the cloaked man's face, showing Evil's smile, one filled with excitement and all the while unsettling to the unknowing time traveler.

"What do you want?" Xehanort questioned.

Evil laughed a bit at the question, before pointing at Xehanort. "You, your knowledge, and your powers." Evil shrugged his shoulders and shook his head. "After all, Kingdom Hearts and the Second Keyblade War is the goal and destination, is it not?" Evil looked at Xehanort with the devilish grin once again.

"And I know you won't refuse…"

Damn this is a long chapter… Oh well, they're gonna nab Vanitas off screen to make our lives easier. It's also something else to learn how Kingdom Hearts time travel works. Additionally, it was really interesting to learn about the Unversed for Kingdom Hearts as well! So much shit in the Kingdom Hearts world that I'm lucky to have someone to fact check nearly everything.

Also, ghost children. Courtesy of Euphory.a_ once again! You will know their names soon enough, but for now, there is a second one to haunt these chapters!

Don't know when we'll drop their names, but for now, Ghostie and Ghostbro. Also, clean slates for Vanitas and Xehanort.

Tune in next time for more shenanigans! Later peoples.
