Kingdom Hearts: The 13th Requiem [PG-13/Not Accepting]

[Nexev]

Tellah stifled a sigh of annoyance, this was more heartless then he bargained for, he guess he couldn't blame them for being eager he guessed.  Despite this he still had a job to, he needed sometjing with pizaaz... him did he even have a pizza spell he thought he had none... no no that was just a fire spell he used once to make a pizza, it was delicous. AH everyone likes fire, Tellah raised his finger and with a snap a large blue fireball formed out of thin air. This  mighty fireaga targeted its foes with deadly inescapable effecincy... well it would but it wasn't particurally fast. Still it was big and it was blue, that was pretty cool.

 

The hit hop sighed, it was a old heartless, most heartless only recall the fresh beats and pops of this jams but he remenbers the old ones, back when people actually were convinced you were the devil, those were the mirthful days. Either way you can't help but get nervous about that giant ball of fire, No one likes fire after all. To play it safe you bust out your boombox and crank it up to maximum bass, the vibrations emanating from the tiny device will deflact the spell rather well.

[Phantom Roxas]

Kreix raised an eyebrow at Omcraxs stuttering, but smiled as he mentioned a new mission. He considered Haxz telling him about Omcraxs rampage. It was important to have Omcraxs acting at his best. "If you've found yourself a new mission, go right ahead. Just don't lose your mind again if any Heartless show up."

"Master, I have brought Nehryx back." Kreix turned to the Paladin. "Ah, splendid. Tell me, Nehryx, where have you been? Lexyk, did you debrief him?" "Um, no sir. I'm… afraid that I did not." "Oh. No matter. Nehryx, the short version is that Haxz has taken data from Ansem's computer and will be using to create a replica of Sora, granting us our very own Keyblade." "Shall I fetch Xelo as well?" "Yes. Find him, let him finish whatever business is keeping him, and return him here. Omcraxs, you go onto that mission of yours. As for the terminal… That's a major setback. I'll have to check later to see if there is anything that can be retrieved, even from a wrecked terminal. First, I have to deal with our guest."

Kreix left the library, and found himself with Xemyrom. "I've sent my Paladins elsewhere, and my fellow members of the Organization are doing their own things as usual. Now then, tell me how exactly you're so familiar with this computer."

[hr]
Doxfer, carrying Jumpsuit and the Creeper, chased after Zack. "Hey kid, don't think I forgot about you!" Doxfer threw Jumpsuit and the Creeper at Zack. How you guys up for Round 2?" Jumpsuit and the Creeper lunged at Zack, and Doxfer held his lance arm out, aiming at Zack. "I was hoping the Phantom would show up, but this will do."

[hr]
The Nightmare Palace looked over the land beneath it. A market stood off into the distance, full with people. For of hearts to turn into Heartless. The Nightmare Palace lifted a mighty leg as it approached the market, ready to descend upon the victims. It could see the people screaming as they looked up at the horrifying monster. It sensed a lost nearby. A Heartless, apparently reviving from its destruction. The Thresholder at the main gate beckoned to the heart, and it came closer to it, forming the vague silhouette of a Sergeant that was wrapped in darkness as it transformed. It grew to a larger size, growing extra extra feet in height. Its claws were replaced with a blade in each hand, and its suit was covered with silver armor. The Heartless symbol was now depicted on each shoulder pad. The Zip Slasher wasn't even phased by its new form, instead focusing on the people down below. The image of a boy with golden hair flashed through its head, giving it an idea of who to attack first.

[Mugendramon]

Omcraxs was taken aback by Kreix's reply. "Well, Superior- I must say I wasn't planning to go alone at all! Three Keyblade Weilders, I doubt I could handle that by myself. Now I could Summon Heartless as well, but there comes in your second point- I cannot control the outbursts. I believe you could call it mindless rage, literally. As such, I need someone with me at all times to make an escape route were I to get into a brawl I could not win. For example Starscream here, whose exceptional perception and loyalty, as well as skills have allowed me my life and he a name."

 

 

Starscream looked to both sides suspiciously then nodded hurriedly. Because he knew that's exactly  what happened. Yeah.

 

"Now, if I'll be honest. I do believe luck on my side would be a most welcome element in a battle against the Keyblades. So if you please Haxz, come."

[Love of Ghibli]

Nerhyx was so honored that the Superior was talking to him that he was going to reply, but the superior had more to say. And of course these words were about the plan that Haxz has been working on. Nerhyx managed to control his disappointment. Though that wouldn't matter because naturally he would soon regale the superior with tales of his many exploits and surely he would get rewarded for such hard work. Unfortunately that didn't happen, Kreix immediately left to go deal with some other person who Nerhyx was not introduced to. Normally sadness would ensue, but Nerhyx does not see what just happened as blatant abandonment he saw it as the superior dealing with urgent business. So once again he would simply wait and observe his surroundings. Usually there were some more entertaining things happening in his line of sight. 

From where he was standing he could see the screen that showed the world where the three supposed Keyblade wielders reside. He looked with intrigue as he realized that was one of his visits. Its where he convinced that which Narissa to join their cause. Who would have thought that there were three Keyblade wielders in the same area. Nerhyx didn't say anything though seeing that Omacrxs was so steadfast as to go cause some form of destruction. Nevertheless it was interesting. Since he never reported his actions to anyone it would appear that there are a lot of worlds left undiscovered, but that didn't matter it was more interesting to see about Haxz replica. Not because it was something that could truly aid the cause to the Nobodies but that in a sense it has been before. More than once to be exact by people who had a lot more experience in this matter than Haxz so if and most likely when this fails it will be interesting to see what acts of luck keep Haxz alive through the fallout.

He simply stood silent as it looked like he was watching Numbers II and III prepare to take their leave.

[The Warden]

Haxz thought for a moment, before snapping the fingers on his free hand. A Deadbeat siddled through the bookshelves at the call; and it was given the external hard drive. "Look after it."

 

It saluted and squirmed back into the hive to keep it's masters prize safe. Haxz dusted his sleeve lightly before addressing Omcraxs. "It'd be good to see these three potential Keyblades, as, they would  be even easier to manipulate than a Sora replica. I'll go with you, but, it'd be best if I take charge. Having someone unstable, like you, is a liability if you're leading. And, I have a few ideas in mind to deal with these Wielders. But, I must ask, what do you even know about these Wielders? Going against three doesn't sound very smart, or, are you hiding something? Or, should I say, your Wraiths are?"

 

His sunglasses slid down slightly, allowing Haxz an aside glance at Starscream.

[Mugendramon]

Omcraxs stood in defense of Starscream. "This Nobody was with me at all times, don't you give him that look. If he is hiding something, I will find out eventually. Wraiths are huge tattletales anyway, gossip spreads over to the wrong ears pretty quickly with them. As for you taking the lead, I'm fine with it. However I ask of you that you oblige to keeping a Wraith with you at all times. This allows for quick communication even when separated, due to the subsonic nature of their speech. I, never intended to lead on anyway, it IS three of the most potentially powerful people in the universe we are talking about."

 

The Wraith on the terminal left it and flew by Omcraxs and Startscream. It nodded once at Haxz before opening a corridor.

 

"It knows the way, let's go." Number III stepped in, followed by Starscream, who cloaked himself. The final Wraith awaited Number II.

[The Warden]

Haxz rolled his eyes and brushed off the Wraith. "I still don't trust you little flying gasbags, not since I found that first one spying on me in the showers. I don't know why I really need you, since I already have three Wraiths."

 

Haxz held up three cards, each of them depicting a Wraith in a coiled and tortured position. Knowing that the threat was sufficient, Haxz left through the Corridor of Darkness to follow his mentally unstable comrade.

 

[hr]

 

Boy was New York a dump. Noisy, loud, full of stupid fat people and tourists... this place was a good damn goldmine of stupidity. "So, what do we even know about this world? Aside from it being where three Keyblades will appear. Cause, considering that guy over there is literally swallowing a hoagy whole, I don't really see that happening anymore."

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

Lightning takes back her blade as she receives the strange green-colored folds of paper with a man's face on them, only to suddenly encounter another group of Heartless. She recognized the librarian-like Heartless with the book, as Balthazar's magic was harmlessly negated the attack. Lightning quickly dashed forward towards the group, ducking to get in the middle, and simply stated "Powerchain". She cried out and lashed at the nearest Bookmaster, slicing through his tome and his body, before twirling her blade and stabbing the Bookmaster behind her. Continuing the quick assault, she danced amongst the group of Heartless, tearing them to shreds, before turning back to Balthazar. "I've heard legends and rumors of these Keyblades. They are supposed to be weapons of great power. Do you happen to know where one might acquire such a blade? Because, while my Blazefire Sabre is quite useful, I would love something that can actually hurt these monsters."

[Phantom Roxas]

Shuren was surprised by Balthazar running off. "Hey, what's going on?" he called out, but it was useless. Balthazar had told him that he wouldn't have to worry about being missed from school. Ryan, Trevor, and Viola had all run off after Balthazar, while James stayed behind. "Come on, James, let's go!" Shuren didn't wait for James and followed after everyone. The saber had come with a sheath, so Shuren held it to his side as he ran after the others. When he had caught up, Balthazar and a strange woman were fight weird monsters. They looked different from the ones they fought earlier. Where these the Heartless that Balthazar and Xemyrom spoke of?

 

The woman moved, lifting all of the Heartless into the air, killing several of them before they fell to the ground again. She turned back to the others, and all Shuren could hear was her asking about the Keyblade. A larger Heartless swung a boombox to hit a ball a fire floating towards it while two smaller Heartless leaped at Viola and the other boys. "Watch out!" Shuren called out as he rushed to save them. He drew out the saber, slashing at the Greaser. He sliced one of the Greasers at the arm. The Heartless turned to Shuren, punching at him.

 

As the fire ball was deflected by Hit Hop, Balthazar ran forward and held his hands out. He spun the flames around his hands before hurling it at the Greaser fighting Shuren. The Greaser was incinerated, once more leaving the ever-growing party against a Hit Hop and a Greaser.

 

"Glad you could make it, Shuren," Balthazar said. "These Heartless keep coming, though, so you'll have to play it safe."

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

Lightning groaned as more Heartless kept coming towards her new allies. She looked down at her wrist, where a strange metallic bangle rested with six circular gemstones rested, one red, one blue, one yellow, one gray, one purple, and one green. The gems are connected together by circuitry, and the red gemstone is glowing, causing the circuits to glow the same color. She looked at the device, not really wanting to use this, as she knew its effects on her, and the mode she was currently in was the closest to her baseline personality, meaning she was the most comfortable there. But she needed the additional power that the bracelet gave her, so she simply uttered. "Ravager." Immediately, the red gem stopped glowing as the blue one lit up, changing the circuitry's color, and Lightning felt a slight rage wash over her, an anger she needed to take out. She was so sick and tired of these Etro-dammed Heartless getting back up! She needed to teach these monsters a lessen they would never forget. She glared at her opponents, held out her left hand and cried out. "Water!" This sent a deluge of magical water washing over the remaining two Heartless, making them soaked. She then declared. "Thunder!" A powerful blast of magical electricity rushed from her hand to the wet Heartless, shocking them to their cores and eliminating the Greaser, but leaving the Hit Bop standing and dazed from the attack. She growled at the foe she took down before, now returned, but stunned, and converted her Blazefire Sabre into Gun Mode. "Why won't you just learn?!?" She aimed at his head and fired off a few rounds, sending the huge Heartless down, but once he toppled over, she jumped on his chest and kept firing off shots until he finally dissolved into health orbs and Munny. She took a few breaths, her anger sated...for now...

[Super Chaos Sonic]

Doxfer, carrying Jumpsuit and the Creeper, chased after Zack. "Hey kid, don't think I forgot about you!" Doxfer threw Jumpsuit and the Creeper at Zack. How you guys up for Round 2?" Jumpsuit and the Creeper lunged at Zack, and Doxfer held his lance arm out, aiming at Zack. "I was hoping the Phantom would show up, but this will do."

"Glad you could make it, Shuren," Balthazar said. "These Heartless keep coming, though, so you'll have to play it safe."

 

Zack heard someone yelling at him...and that's when he saw Doxfer...launching the two Nobodies at him...and that was the tip of the iceberg.

 

He moved right and dodged the flung Nobodies and tried to continue running...until he saw Doxfer and his lance arm in front of him, causing him to skid to a halt. "Good grief! What is with all these psychopaths popping out of no where!!" he asked, jumping back and quickly grabbing his scythe on his back, noticing he was surrounded by three opponents.

 

This wasn't going the way he hoped...and this was going to head to one way to stop this...mainly cause of Doxfer. Now I have to use my form...damn it...didn't want it to come to this. I hope this won't turn out this way. he thought, gripping the scythe tighter, cursing under his breath.

 

[hr]

 

"SHUREN! Nice timing, we really need some more help..." Trevor said, smiling as Shuren arrived, as he slashed five more Heartless with his Broad Sword. Most of them were dissipating, but the ones in green were going to be the tough part. They were immune to magic...speaking of which.

 

"A little heads up for ya...the Heartless in green...we've already determined that they're immune to magic. So we gotta use brute force on ém!!"

[Nexev]

Tellah stroked his chin. "Well aren't you guys the strong stalwart types, you knocked those old blokes quicker then a blink, a wink and two thinks." Tellah shrugged. "Well if memory serves correct it's around this time they get the picture and usually they mind there own buisness until you wander into some other area. Either way I still owe a few of you some wishes so what will it be, some fancy sword? Power? A Black Mages CD? I'd want a Black Mages CD, those are really good CDs. " Tellah weaved his way between all of his new found chums. "Come on don't be shy anything you could ever ask for." Tellah started to lower the volume of his voice so no one else can hear him besides those he was next to, Heading towards Violia he whispered "Maybe he'd like to see you again, come on Raise isn't TOO hard a spell, a hocus, a pocus, and all will crocus." Heading towards Sean "Maybe power, yes power to slay all who would hurt those taht matter, the bigger they are the harder they will fall." And finally Trevor. "Dance to the death sucks dude, listen to some mozart."

[hr]

 

Figuring that there was nothing left to do until the Cup started, Suga Momma decided to leave Olympus until the cup started. After a few hours of stumbling in darkness she decided to take a pit stop at good old Radient garden.

 

After a few minutes of survaying the landscape Suga Momma concluding that Radient Garden went to hell while she's been away. Sighing Suga Moma decided she would put off lunch for a bit, she had work to do.

[Phantom Roxas]

Balthazar stepped forward. "Who are you, and why do you know so much?" He bit his lip and turned to Viola. "I wasn't supposed to keep any secrets from you, Viola, but… there is a way to bring back the dead, but not in the way you want. The person who casts the spell will revive them as mindless beasts. They'll just be zombies. They won't be the same people you knew. They won't be any different from the Heartless." He returned to his focus to Tellah. "You're a Morganian, aren't you?"

"Um, Balthazar?" Shuren said. "Why don't we give this guy a chance? I mean, you haven't been all that honest with us either, right?"

Balthazar clenched his hands. He turned to Lightning. She was just as much a stranger to Balthazar as Tellah was, and helped just as well during the fight. She asked about the Keyblade, but Balthazar was reluctant to answer. He was still suspicious of Tellah, and it's not like Lightning had any more reason for Balthazar to trust her than Tellah did. Then again, Balthazar wasn't making himself look all that trustworthy towards his own apprentices. "The Keyblade choses its wielder. With this Heartless threat growing, it's only a matter of time before one shows up, but it all depends on who it picks."

[hr]
The Phantom looked over at Doxfer throwing the two Nobodies at Zack. The Silver Knight followed the Phantom's gaze - at least, as far as a headless being's "gaze" could be called - and looked at the display. "I see Doxfer is having fun messing with new recruits again." The Wight Knight crept up and waved its arms at the Nobodies in the distance. "Well I'll be damned, apparently this boy really did spawn a Nobody. Shall I let Doxfer continue to 'educate' it?"

The Phantom pondered this for a moment, before gesturing to the Spiky Spider, then to the two children. Spiky Spider nodded, grabbing one child in each claw until it began to squeeze. Lock and Shock tried screaming until they were snuffed out by the darkness. Above Spiky Spider appeared a Gargoyle and a Wizard. "Excellent. I shall report this to Master Xelo and the Superior." The Silver Knight opened a Corridor as the Phantom circled around the new three Heartless. The children had produced fine Heartless to serve him. Probably weak Nobodies just as their friend did, but the Heartless were what mattered to him. The Phantom threw its arms out, and the three smaller Heartless disappeared in puffs of darkness. The Phantom and Spiky Spider were left alone in Oogie's Mansion, waiting the command of the Superior.

[hr]
"Psychopaths?" Doxfer repeated. "Nah, I'm just teaching these little Nobodies the way things work. Come on, let me be a good teacher or something!" Two more Creepers appeared, landing in front of Doxfer. "Is this recruitment season or something? Ah well, looks like there's more for you, kid!" Doxfer grabbed the new Creepers and threw them at Zack as Jumpsuit stood behind Zack and the first Creeper was hopping around Zack. It was five against one, as if Doxfer needed any help though.

[Premier Alexander Romanov]

Lightning wanted to fight more enemies, to keep showing these Heartless that she isn't one to be messed with, but what little was left of her rationality managed to overcome her rage and get her to utter the activation phrase [color=#FF69B4]"Medic."[/color] As quickly as the last transfer, the blue gem's glow faded as the green gem started to shine, and the circuitry shifted through the spectrum into a matching green color. The anger Lightning felt seething inside of her washed away to become a satisfying, pleasant calm, and her previously cold gaze filled with a burning fire was now warm and contained a softer, gentler tone to it. She calmly stepped towards the rest of the group, now that the fighting had healed her wounds through the health orbs her foes dropped, and asked in a softer tone than both of her manners of speaking from before [color=#FF69B4]"Is anyone hurt? I can help to fix you up if you need it."[/color]

[The Warden]

There were a lot of people fleeing from a certain direction. Now, either there was a sale on at Macey's, or, more than likely, there was a battle going on. "Seems like it doesn't beg the question where our Keyblades might be. I'm going on ahead, catch up if you want."

 

Haxz followed the direction of the crowd, and has he meandered through them, the sounds of battle became more and more prevalent.

 

[hr]

 

Turning the corner of a rather tall building, Haxz found a fun sight: It was a group of children and a creepy old man versus a bunch of Heartless, probably sent by Kreix or one of the others, maybe Nerhyx, man what a suck-up. Either way, Haxz saw fit to lean on the wall and watch them. No point getting involved just yet and it might be more amusing to see if the Heartless could draw out a Keyblade.

[Nexev]

Tellah furrowed his eyebrows. "White magic doesn't cause mindlessness, it just causes a lot of not having magic. But maybe you're just old fashioned, what with this morgania nonsense, never heard of that term, is it a fan club for some of that zany pop music? Pop music sucks." Tellah blinked again, "OH right, why I'm here, oh I just needed to warn you, ever heard of the Emperor? Blonde hair, gold armor, leads a unfathomable army of darkness that will consume all into uneternity? Yeah he is gathering his army, beware and all." Tellah's face looked pained. "I lost a few good friends to his army, my world and many others, I'd stop him if I could but his powers exceed my own."

 

Out of sight, behind the magic shop, a Luna bandit emerged alongside a rune master, waving its hand, the magical defenses within the shop where quietly removed by the runemaster as the bandit walked inside.

 

"He's bad news, he can control like one controls their fingers."

 

Muffling about the Luna bandit finally found it's destined artifact, clutching the Grimhold in it's dark fists, unwilling to trigger any secret alarms the Luna bandit fled the shop to a safer loaction in order to disappear in.

 

"Even know he may be seeding disarray into this world, weakening what defense you have so that all souls will join his dark army. You need to be prepared."

[Super Chaos Sonic]

Balthazar stepped forward. "Who are you, and why do you know so much?" He bit his lip and turned to Viola. "I wasn't supposed to keep any secrets from you, Viola, but… there is a way to bring back the dead, but not in the way you want. The person who casts the spell will revive them as mindless beasts.

Doxfer grabbed the new Creepers and threw them at Zack as Jumpsuit stood behind Zack and the first Creeper was hopping around Zack. It was five against one, as if Doxfer needed any help though.

 

"Balthazar...isn't there a way for us to speed up how the Keyblade chooses its wielder?" Trevor asked, looking at Balthazar and the group. "Yeah I know, its probably a long drawn out process on the wielder coming forth, but from what you keep telling us...we don't have that much time. So do you think there is a way for us to find the Keyblade's wielder before its too late?"

 

[hr]

 

Zack saw the Phantom and Knight out of the corner of his eye, then seeing the Spiky Spider squeezing the life out of Lock and Shock...until they too...were gone. This didn't bode well for the skeleton boy, as he gripped the scythe tighter. The three were now gone...and now he had to stop these now...and only one way to do it.

 

"Lock, Shock, AND Barrel..." he mumbled, as the scythe's blade seemed to glow. "You seemed to help them...and then you decided to just end their lives. You monsters....you monsters....don't DESERVE TO REMAIN HERE!!!" he yelled, as he twirled the scythe around him, until he slammed the end of the scythe on the ground, watching as a light & dark green aura enveloped him.

 

DMC 4 - Forza del Destino

 

"I didn't want to have to use this form so soon...but you psychos have pushed this TOO FAR!" Zack's voice was heard, as the aura dissipated when he moved his right hand in front of him, revealing himself in a different form...way different.  "Now...the reaper shall send you all to hell!"

[Kōsuke Ueki]

Ryan was trying to remain focused, but all of this fighting has really messed up his mind for the moment. When the Greaser had punched Shuren, he dashed towards it, katana ready. "You're about to become Heartless sushi!" he yelled as he proceeded to slice off the hand of the Greaser, failing miserably as it regenerated immediately after. And just as he did, he then noticed a large fireball headed his way. He dodged it just before it came in contact with him and it incinerated the Greaser into nothing. Ryan sighed in slight annoyance. "A little warning next time?" Running over to the others, he kept a stance and watched if the Hit Bop would do a preemptive strike. He listened to what everyone had said, and Trevor's question stuck out to him. He wondered if there was another way to draw out the Keyblade, but not in a selfish way. "Maybe...just maybe, we would need a motivation, something that would take one of us off the edge and push themselves to something only someone with a pure heart would do...like, let's say, saving someone from a fatal attack. Or..."

 

He turned his attention to the group. "Perhaps it's along the lines of sacrifice." he said to the others. "Like, maybe something important to you that you want to keep would have to be tried to be taken away from you...such as your own life." This sort of weighed Ryan down a little bit, and he thought about considering it when the time came after he had obtained his Keyblade. But it seems as though it might be the only way to determine how the Keyblade chooses its wielder. "What do you think Balthazar? Would either one of those be a possibility?" He then looked at the group. If he is able to protect them, then he has the power to do anything that his heart may desire. But with an answer to that comes a lot of time and experience to determine if it's the right one. Only time will answer all of his questions.

[The Warden]

Those guys were getting boring again, but, there must be a way to force the Keyblade to appear. Maybe an extreme of emotion, so, why not start with general annoyance? Haxz turned the corner away from the group and out of their sight. "Let's see if one will answer the call."

 

He snapped his fingers, the sound echoed across the street as a black cloud appeared and formed into the most unholy Heartless ever, the [url=http://www.khwiki.net/Emerald_Serenade]Emerald Serenade[/url]. It foated towards Haxz, and looked expectantly at him. "Okay, there's this group of people just around the corner. I want you to play keep away from them and get them very, very, very annoyed. Can you do that?"

 

The Emerald Serenade bobbed up and down. "I'll take that as a yes then. Also, one or two of them focus on magic, so, be careful around them. Now go and annoy the crap outta them."

 

The Emerald Serenade moved swiftly, around the corner and hurtling towards the group. It drifted straight past them as a taunt and kept going.

 

Haxz, meanwhile, used a Corridor of Darkness to stand atop a building to get a better view. By the looks of it, the Emerald Serenade will move in a square pattern, however, it will take an alleyway between two buildings that has a chainlink fence. That sounded like fun.

Nerhyx was rather bored seeing as everyone else went on adventures and he himself was waiting on Kriex to be done with that somebody from somewhere. While he was waiting he realized that the computer was empty and decided to take a gander at other worlds that the Heartless may have been too or at least the other. Also he should catalog his own travels and update the system. While gazing through the database he saw all of the previous worlds that the former organization members went to and while he added his own experiences to the set he decided to see if there was a way to travel between worlds that didn't involve the Corridors of Darkness. 

To his surprised he learned of the space traveling Nobodies and heartless that traveled around like assault mechs in space. This new army of heartless were interesting to say the least. Their purpose was pretty unknown to Nerhyx but it did propose an interesting opportunity. He stuck his hand out without lifting his gaze from the computer screen and even though there was no one there when he sat down one of the Gentlemen appeared beside him with tea. This was a sign that Nerhyx was going to spend a lot of time in this one location. And why would he not he just found a new source of entertainment. Tons of Nobodies and Heartless just floating in space waiting for...something. Nerhyx concentrated for a second and he realized though it was a little tough he took control over one of the weaker drone Heartless. 

"Oh Hazzah" He said calmly as more Gentlemen gathered to make the room he was in more fitting for one of Nerhyx taste. Nerhyx decided to test this drone and aim its viewing lens at one the worlds that he had visited. He was able to have the drone submit its finding wireless through the computer he was at. The Gentlemen and himself now had a front row show to the battle of Haxz vs. the Keyblade wielders. The gentlemen gave silent applause seeing that the show was already progressing. Nerhyx just watched as Haxz decided to employ the services of an Emerald Serenade to fight the kids. Hopefully the do not disappoint.

"No!" Balthazar cried out. "We have to go after it. With the Grimhold, the Heartless could unleash the worst sorcerers in the world." Balthazar ran after the Luna Bandit, but the Emerald Serenade floated in front of him. Balthazar set fire to the floating Heartless, but it simply shook it off, moving to its side. Balthazar took the opportunity to run past it, hoping to find the Luna Bandit and the Runemaster, but the Emerald Serenade swung back, crashing into Balthazar and knocking him against a wall. Balthazar got back to his feet as the Emerald Serenade continued to move on.

A light sparked back near the apprentices, Tellah, and Lightning. The light shot down just before Trevor, and in the ground stood a weapon. A long silver pole with a black handle adorned with golden rings. The guard of weapon was read, the metal formed to resemble flames on each side. A keychain hung from the handle, carved two resemble three circles that gave the image of a mouse head. A voice echoed, but only Trevor could hear it. "Keyblade… Keyblade…"

Once more, Heartless appeared. They were fewer in number than the last group, but no less threatening. The Wight Knight, Gargoyle, and Wizard appeared before the group, delaying them from helping Balthazar in reclaiming the Grimhold, and seeking to claim more hearts, undeterred by the arrival of the Keyblade.

Trevor heard the voices, he didn't even think they were from his headphones. He stared at the weapon that was now in front of him and nodded as he grabbed the hilt with both his hands and lifted it up into the air. It felt...light...lighter than how he originally thought. He saw the sun hitting on the blade as he looked at the Heartless. A determined smirk appeared on Trevor's face as he swung it back behind him. Then he rushed past everyone with his heightened agility, the Keyblade in hand.

He skidded to a halt in front of the group of Heartless, smirking. "Balthazar! I got your back!" he said, as he slashed one of the shadow Heartless, then another...until he had slashed and removed six Shadows. "You go get the guy...I'll back you up!!"

[The Warden]

Haxz looked over the edge, this was geuinely suprising. One of those kids picked up a Keyblade, which was about freaking time. Looks like he didn't need to send that Morning Star after them after all. This was certainly excellent, now, with a stupid child wielding the Keyblade, they could just send waves after waves at them, and soon Kingdom Hearts will be reborn... wait. "What's going on? Why do I feel so excited to know Kingdom Hearts will be rebuilt? I WANT to stay a Nobody, and yet... ugh, nevermind that feeling. Now, we'll need more cannon fodder for that kid to destroy, so, let's see how he'll handle these."

 

Haxz snapped his fingers, producing that weird echo once more. The Serenade vanished, having done its part. In its stead came a large swarm of Green Requiems. They tinkled through the air, and green particles surrounded the Heartless, giving them a nice fresh healing boost.

[Super Chaos Sonic]

Trevor looked at the newly appeared Green Requiem, sighing a bit as he watched them heal the Heartless. Well...that didn't help any...but that gave me an idea now! he thought as he quickly turned back to the group. "Guys! We have to take out those green guys. It's looking like they're healing the others. We take them out, the others should be a bit easier!" he said, as he rushed and jumped over another set of Heartless, seeing the Wight Knight, Gargoyle, and Wizard. "Oh great...three more that just pop up." Trevor shook his head and then kept the rush going as he headed for the Knight, but noticed he jumped into the air and spun himself like a wheel as he hit the young boy. He fell back and spat on the ground, looking at the Wight Knight. "OK....you can do that...gotta make sure not to fall for that again."

Ryan saw the light, and it hit Trevor. What happened next, shocked him. Only one thing came to mind: Trevor has become the next Keyblade wielder. Just by the look of the blade, he knew that it was it. And for a moment, he thought that it perhaps chose him unintentionally based on his emotions rather than Ryan. He thought he was going to get it first, and Trevor would get it next. But, what are you gonna do? What's done is done. And now, Ryan waits for his chance. By how Trevor was fighting though, it seemed as though it would take him time to master using such a different weapon. He then turned his attention to Tellah. "Might I ask, what kind of power does the Keyblade hold that we're not aware of?" he asked with curiosity. Maybe he was asking the wrong question, but who knows how he feels about this? The Keyblade, an almighty weapon with the power to slay those who wish to consume hearts tainted with darkness, and also has the power to change the fate of life itself. he thought. Trevor, I hope to learn something from you, as you have learned from me.
