Hello! Okay first of all, i like to say, you can think of this as a promo for the new rewrite of this story, as i scarped the first story after reading the story: Kingdom hearts rewind and it made me realize a few things. For one a keyblade wielder is at tier god level. The keyblade is quite literally the ultimate and the story who remind me of that fact, not only does that, but see's things the way i do. Light and darkness, are two side of the same coin. While i'm a bit disappointed to see it's author looking like it's been abandoned, i'm happy someone else see's it the way i do. Back to the point, a keyblade wielder is very much OP, tier god level, especially in the new KH game. I love the new commands and transformations for said keyblade's and how we can switch keyblade's on the fly. But as always, i don't own RWBY of kingdom hearts, read, review and enjoy.

Prologue: Arrival and Xero Bloodthorn part 1

Ruby rose had one main goals in life.

The first was her life long ambition of being a huntress. One of the main people who defend the people of her world against the creature's of Grimm. Dark beings that hunt humans and fauns alike after being draw in by negative emotions.

All her life, she dreamed of being a huntress, just like her late mother Summer rose. She and her sister trained day in and day out to complete this goal and while Yang had a similar goal, what she wanted more then anything was to find her runaway mother and find answer's as to why she left them. This goal had nearly gotten her and Ruby killed at a young age. Since then, Yang's kept her search for her mother at a bare minimal but kept an ear out for any sightings.

However that goal hit a bit of a snag.

When the sisters entered beacon academy they found Yang's long lost little brother and second child of Raven branwen wielding an admittedly odd key shaped blade, with cool abilities in Ruby's opinion. The boy is distant form them, he's slowly getting use to calling her and Yang family. He had an awesome large team with more then four people and they all had 'Keyblades' as he called them. He really hasn't told them anything of where he's been or what he's done to get so strong he bested Pyrrha nikos herself!

Easily at that.

The only reason they knew Xero bloodthorn, as he goes by, was their long lost brother and due to the fact he looks like a male version of Raven. And Ozpin had his DNA tested and it was a match. It was a surprise as the boy was a fauns, a one of a kind saber tooth tiger fauns at that! And what's more is he had more then one fauns trait. They did want to know how he became a fauns, but in all honest even Xero himself didn't know how he became a fauns. Secretly he figured it was thanks to the magic and one of the "laws" in order to blend into the world.

Nether the less, the two sisters were overjoyed to have found a new family member and a brother at that and wanted to be closer to said brother. However he kept his distance and gets this lost look in his eye when he stares at the stars at night. Ruby really didn't want to pry, she respected his privacy and did not want to do anything that could ruin what little relationship she had with him. But she just wished she knew more about him and if something was wrong she wanted to help him. It didn't help that Blake and Weiss were very suspicious of Ruby's long lost brother and the fact he refused to tell anything about his powers was causing a rift between the sisters partners and if something didn't happen soon, she feared the worst. She was also jealous that her first friend, Jaune, was spending more and more time with HER big brother then she, the adorable little sister?

It was blasphemy!

But she could do very little about it.

Things only got worse as Yang nearly went ballistic on the black and white duo, for calling him dangerous and un-trust worthy. Like they were one to talk, Blake especially! It was causing the already wide rift building between the sisters and their partners to widen even further.

Ruby's wished their was a way to solve all their problems.

Well wish granted.

So when she and her team suddenly found themselves in some sort of theater room, with a whole lot of different people. Some she knew, some she didn't. The team was simply relaxing in their room when 'POOF' their here.

Their was her team, her dad, her uncle, team JNPR, Cardin, miss Goodwitch, Headmaster Ozpin that criminal Roman torchwick, her brother and his team consisting of his partner Akame night, Argo mascot, Kurome night, Leone wild, Mine hawkeye, Esdeath Kori(Ice), Chelesa Torikkusta(Trickster) and those two half Grimm girl's Jean and Miria.

Then their are those she doesn't know. Their was a small woman with duel eye color of pink and brown and hair that reached her back. She didn't why, but it the woman gave her the same vibe she got when she met Esdeath. Then their were a couple of people who looked like her teammates, one was for all intents and purpose's looked like an older, busty Weiss, wearing a Atlas uniform with her hair tied in a bun. Then their was, like the woman before, looked like an older version of Blake with shorter hair, her cat ears out and had golden earrings. Then the mountain of a man beside her, with the same black hair and golden eyes, with a full black beard and hairy chest, with an open purple jacket. Then a man wearing an outfit similar to the Weiss-look alike, only made for a man and looked to be a higher up of sorts. He had black hair, with some gray at his sideburns, with steel blue eyes and a piece of metal on the right side of his forehead.

Then their were four other fauns, one being that blonde monkey boy, Sun if she remembered right who helped Blake against Roman. Next to him was a dark skinned boy with blue hair and eyes, wearing a red jacket. Then their was a guy dressed in all black, with red hair and bull horns atop his head. He wore a white half face Grimm mask with red lines other the eyes. The second fauns was dark skinned, with black hair that was chin length and golden eyes. Her fauns traits were two tiger ears atop her head with a small jewel on her forehead. She wore a fitting black dress, with the back open revealing her striped back and black shorts. Over the dress, she wore a red cape, with gold rimming, and black stockings with steel toed shoes. The final one, wore a black one piece suit, with brownish skin, blue eyes and red hair tied in a pony tail.

Then their was a Yang lookalike, with wild black hair and dark red eyes. She wore a shallow cut black dress with black shorts underneath and five red beans around her neck. A belt is wrapped around her waist and red samurai arm guards on her for arms. Then their was a woman with a pixie hair cut, with blue eyes and tan skin. She wore a brown vest over a ripped white shirt and a collar around her neck that was spiked. She wore maroon pants with the right side rolled up and dark brown knee guards going down to her boots. She had a black bird rising with flowers tattooed on her left arm.

Then their was three people, all looking to be around her brother's age. One had light lime green hair, bowl style with bangs covering her forehead sides, dark skin and unique red eyes. She wore a green cut top with a white shirt that had an emerald on it, with brown legging covering her white pants and shoes. The next was a boy with sliver hair, pale skin and gray eyes. He was well built, wearing a simple gray jacket, with black pants and boots. The final one was a woman, with raven colored hair, amber eyes, pale skin and wearing a revealing red dress with glass heels.

Then their was a bunch of people that looked like Jaune, one man and six females. All with blonde hair and blue eyes. And their was some very pale Grimm looking lady, a large bread man, a lanky tall mustache man, and another lanky one with a scorpion tail. Then their was a young farm looking boy, with dark skin and green eyes.

Anyway, Ruby looked around seeing they were in some kind of theater, with red rowed seats and big flat screen TV. However before Ruby say anything, everyone noticed everyone.

"Salem?!/Ozpin/Ozpin?!" The the headmaster and queen of Grimm and her loyal subordinate glared at each other.

"Raven?/sis/MOM?!/Brother?!" Raven ignored her former husband and daughter in favor of glaring at her brother.

"MOM/DAD?!/Son?!" Jaune was shocked to see his mother and father here, as were the older arc's.

"Red?!/Torchwick?!" Ruby yelled upon seeing her arch-enemy, as Roman didn't expect to see red so soon after the docks fight with that boy who wielded that strange key shaped blade of his. Hard to forget the boy who not only had an odd weapon, but used his natural charisma to sway more then half the white fang to not only turn on the thief, but surrender willing.

Something that pissed off both Cinder and Adam as he has been cutting down the white fang presence in Vale in spades. Either by killing them or making them see the error of their ways. Before they did something unforgivable.

What? He may be more ruthless now, but he didn't kill teens who were tricked into something they didn't know what they were getting into.

They were innocent, with there only crime is being to gullible.

"Watts?!/General?!" Ironwood was shocked to see the disgraced scientist.

"MOM/DAD/ADAM?ILIA?!/Blake?!" Blake was shocked to not only see her parents, but her former boyfriend and running buddy Ilia. And she wasn't alone in that regard.

"SIENNA?!/Darling?" Xero said shocked and a little scared at seeing the high leader of the white fang. After his last encounter with the woman had left him with mixed feelings about her and much to desire. Meanwhile said woman was shocked and happy to see the man who had not only changed her point of view, but stole her heart in the process.

Sure they met under unusual means and he was drunk off his ass, when he tore into her, but the fact remains. Drunk or not, he made her take a long hard look at herself and the white fang and made her realize she was wrong.

What followed was between them and she would't have it any other way.

"What the where are we?" Asked Chelesa as she and the girls were lazing around in their usual spot, with their shared lover, when "POOF" their here. With a bunch of people and more then half of them looked ready to thrown down and start a fight.

She almost wished she had some popcorn to see what would undoubtedly be an epic battle royal. But before a fight could break out however...

"I can answer that."

Everyone turned to see,"AHH! A zombie!" Ruby cried out in terror.

Yep in front of everyone was a gray furred wolf, that had half his face missing, showing a bit of it's yellowish skull. He had blood dripping form that, his bitten ankles, and tail that was missing the tip. His ribs were showing as it looked like someone had ripped off his flesh.(My profile pic) As one might expect everyone tried to go for their weapons and active their aura's or magic(Raven, Cinder, Ozpin, Salem, Xero and his team).

Keyword: Tried.

Much to their horror however, they could't. Their weapons were gone and they could't summon their aura. Xero and his team could't even summon their Keyblades.

"Fear not. I'm not here to hurt you," That got a few sighs of relief and a few narrowed eyes," and yes i'm the one who not only brought you here, but took you're powers and weapons away so you all won't kill each other." That got some surprised looks, and gasp form many. All but Xero himself, who simply shrugged as he settled down.

He's seen a lot of things across many, many worlds and has faced down many enemies that can twist and wrap reality itself with a flick of their wrist. So a being not only able to take away their weapons but powers, he wasn't surprised. And he knew the being would't hurt them, he felt no ill intent. If he wanted to hurt them he would have done so already.

"Then why did you bring us here?" Asked Tia as he took his eyes off Raven, to look at the wolf. The others opted to look at the un-dead wolf.

"Well, i'll start of by saying my name and what i am. You may call me BlackDevilSwordsman or BDS for short."

"BlackDevilSwordsman? Sounds like a pin name." Jaune said, as he heard the strange name. The others agreed, as the wolf chuckled.

"And you be right. It is a pin name, as this form you see before is merely an avatar."

"An avatar?" Asked Ilia, as she has never heard of such a thing. But before the wolf could answer, Jaune beat him to it.

"It's a different form someone is controlling and not their real body." Many looked at the blonde arc, as he blushed a bit. "What?"

"Nothing. Just surprising hearing that coming form you vomit boy." Yang said, getting a few laughs. mostly mocking laughs.

"Ha, vomit boy, fits the loser prefectly." That came form one of the younger arc's, Amber, who always insulted her big brother at every chance. However the laughter came to an abrupt end, as the zombie wolf blasted killer intent(KI) so powerful they felt like they were drowning in it.

"I suggest you watch you're mouth girl" His single eye was glowing a demonic red, glaring at the youngest arc, who had pissed herself."That kind of talk can get you killed."

Despite not liking his sister insulting him, Jaune could't help but feel a little happy that some powerful being stood up for him. Then he felt a hand on his shoulder, as Jaune looked to see his master, Xero, gave him a reassure smile. He then saw his team and Ruby give him smile's as well, letting him know they were on his side.

Upon seeing the young arc meekly nod, BDS nodded in satisfaction at seeing his threat get through to the girl.

"I hate to interrupt, but may ask why are we here?" Ozpin asked, taking a sip of his mug, as their host looked at him.

"My apologies. I just hate people insult others for something they had no control over" At that he gave the stink eye to Nicholas and Jupiter, Jaune parents who stiffed but didn't say anything, having a good idea at what he was saying. It was true Nichols didn't train Jaune no matter how many times he asked, and with him putting down his son all the time, the rest of the family followed suit. It wasn't out of malice or hate just sheer stupidity and shame of how bad the boy is at sword play.

Never the less, the wolf shook it's head as he spoke again,"Well as for why i brought you here is simple: I'm having you watch the future. You're future to be more acute." That got a few surprised looks and some scoff's.

"Hmph, yeah right." Winter said shaking her head,"Ridiculous."

"Well he did take us away form our home and powers." Said Sienna, who would have said the same, but that fact and the idea of watching the future did sound integrating. Plus she rather not piss of the deity who flashed such powerful KI it nearly made her choke on it.

The fact she got to tell of a schnee only made it better. Despite her views being change not to long ago, she would still take a swing at the specialist. Her family still spread the hate her kind suffered after all. And has done NOTHING to stop it.

As said woman blistered at the high leader of the white fang, she could not deny the truth behind her words.

"Who will we be watching?" Asked Akame, as she wondered who they be following to find out their future. All the shows she's watched always had a main character they follow to revel the story. At that the wolf laughed.

"Smart miss Night. Knowing already that their will be a main character. And it will be..." He pointed a broken tail at them,"Him."

He pointed at Xero, who blinked owlishly.

"Who, me?"

"That freak?!" Cardin sneered as he for a while tried to bully the unique fauns, but always got his ass handed to him on a sliver plate.

"What was that?" Asked a now very pissed off Sienna, with Adam, Ilia and even the belladonna's glared at the boy, with all of Xero's friends. Even now, the dumb shit hasn't learned his lesson. As For Xero he stiffed. Not at Cardin but at the idea of viewing the future. Did that mean-

"And yes, many secrets will be revealed. For ALL of you." At that many went ramrod like Xero, now feeling the pressure, as Salem merely looked curious. Despite the fact this being would reveal some of her hidden plans and piece's, they can be easily replaced. She heard form Cinder how the young Bloodthorn had ruined her plan to acquire the fall maiden's powers, only to be stopped by him.

Followed by how easily he tossed her and the other two like rag dolls in the process.

Cinder didn't say it out loud, but she informed her mistress how he easily moped the floor with her and was using a magic power that was equally, if not GREATER then the maiden's power. Many of her children have fallen to the boy, meaning any and all information on him was worth sacrifice a pawn or two to the queen of Grimm.

Knowledge was power after all.

So what if all her pawns were found out or killed. It mattered very little to Salem, who was immortal(Against her will though) and as such could find new pawns. And said pawns knew it all to well, if them starting to sweat was any indication.

However their were many who DID NOT like the idea of their secrets being revealed for several varied reasons.

Raven because not only was she the spring maiden but both Ozpin and Salem were here and knowing what she was...she'd never be left alone. However she was curious about the child this 'BlackDevilSwordsman' said would be the main character they would be watching. And why did she feel a pain of longing in her chest when she saw the boy that not only looked like her and her foolish brother, but reminded her of her long since dead,'Zasha'. Not to mention, that golden rosary around his neck looked JUST like the one she gave her young son before he disappeared. Raven didn't believe in coincidence's, but never the less, she knew all would be revealed in time.

Cinder because with her plans still in it's early stages and with little dust they've gathered, if Ozpin or oum forbid Ironwood found her out it all be ruined! And what's worse is their's nothing she could do to stop it, as if the young one of a kind fauns boy wasn't a problem enough already.

Many others also had similar thoughts.

Adam feared that Sienna would find out about his attempts to usurp her and his splinter group in Vale. Ozpin and his group, despite Salem being here feared just WHAT would be revealed during this viewing. Ozpin most of all. Roman however thought if he could figure out how the kid thought, he could escape form Cinder and live. Neo had similar thoughts as her boss? Lover? friend? Hard to say.

Others just looked curious.

"Um excuse me." Everyone looked at the farm boy, who they just realized was their. He squirmed a little under everyone's gaze, but stood firm.

"That's great and all, but what does this have to do with me? I'm not a huntsman or one in training, or even know anyone here."

That made everyone look at the wolf, he had a point. No one knew who the child was, so why was he here? Their host merely chuckled again.

"Oh yes, they will as you young Oscar," The now identified Oscar looked surprised at him knowing his name,"but they will soon enough. As let's just say, the connection to Xero will be the same as over there." This time Sienna looked surprise at that.

"But i won't tell you though." Now she was annoyed,"Why the hell not?" She growl, as she swore the wolf smiled through he split lips.

"Where's the fun in that?" This did nothing but make her more annoyed, as Oscar looked surprised. He would be apart of this?

"Hehe, this be interesting, if nothing else." Xero's dark counterpart, Aero, said form within Xero's head as he nodded. One might think Xero would't want his horrid past revealed, but he knew it was just in the past. That didn't mean it didn't hurt to think about all those who died in the final battle against that elf eared fucker. Nor did it mean he had to like it and while he could have tried to fight it, he felt this would be better to explain his story.

Better then he could explain it and seeing the future would certainly helped.

All thoughts were cut off by the host,"So i leave you all to it. If you need any food or drinks, just think it and it'll fall in you're lap. Oh and before i go, i'll tell you this, i brought you all here, because you are not only connected to the future, but you all will met Xero at some point and show you all why picking a fight with him is VERY stupid." Before anyone could say anything, he vanished.

"Well, that was informative." Roman said, taking a seat with Neo following. Everyone broke off into groups with the students taking the lowest seats, closest to the screen. Oscar took a seat next to Xero. The parents and siblings(Minus Raven) of said students took a seat above them. No matter how much they wanted to talk to them, they would have to wait. The teachers, Raven, Vernal, Atlas natives and shocking the white fang members took the upper seats with Roman and Neo. No matter how much Sienna and her fellow fauns hated it, that unearthly pale woman gave them all the Heebie Jeebies.

And for good reason.

Despite the fact Sienna rather be seating next to Xero, she wasn't sure she could do it, without a fight breaking out between her subordinates and the Atlas military personal. Oh well, she can wait.

Good things come to those who wait.

Finally Salem and her group took the right upper section of the theater. And like any other theater, the lights dimmed, as the screen turned on, showing a blackness, and soon a voice.

As a child, i was scared of the dark.

"Hey kid, isn't that you're voice?" Asked Roman, as said 'kid' nodded.

"Yep that's mine alright."

Just like any other child, i dreamed of grander things. I wanted to go out and explore not just my world, but all the worlds. I wished for a chance, a reason to see all the worlds. Hehe, well as the old saying goes, be careful what you wish for.

(Play simple and clean, form kingdom hearts 1)

"I like the music." Ruby said, as many listed the lyrics of the song. They all had to admit, it was very soothing, even Salem liked it.

The screen change to show a ten year old Xero, wearing a simple black top, with red pants and shoes, doing something to a wall inside a small cave.

This shocked everyone as they stared at the younger form of Xero. Or more specially...

"You're human." Ilia said, shocked. How? either you are human or fauns, you can't be both. So why was a younger version of Xero a human?

"Hmm, you look adorable." Chelsea said teasing her leader/master/lover. Being a Keyblade user, she knew a lot more then any one in the room, thus she knew his magic helped him blend into whatever world he went to. So being human as a kid, wasn't that big of surprise to her or the girls. Sienna had to agree with the pinkish eyed girl on that one. Though did wonder why he was human?

"The fuck?! What the hell?!" Adam all but yelled. It's bad enough he was around a bunch of humans and Blake but could do nothing about it. Now he finds out the traitor to all fauns kind is human?!

"Is that you as a child?" Asked Pyrrha, as Raven merely stared silent, looking at the screen with a glazed look in her eye, that contained barely repressed sorrow and in Qrow's opinion, scary hopefulness that makes or breaks a person. The kind of hope that can shift and change a person forever. And why should't she? The younger Xero looked just like HER Zasha, before he vanished form her life, and breaking her a little more. It did confuse those who knew her, even Vernal, did she actually care? Many figured she was just an uncaring bitch, but this gave everyone who knew her look at her in confusion. Though it did make Yang just a tab bit anger at her reaction to seeing the younger Xero, like she was seeing a ghost. Her mother hasn't even spared her a single look, yet the bitch stares at her little brother like he was something she searched for her entire life and has found it.

It wasn't fair and such bullshit! Why can't Raven look at her like that?

"Hey, how come you're eyes are purple and not red? And where are you're streaks?" Nora asked this, as indeed the younger Xero had simple black hair and purple eyes.

When he didn't answer, they all looked and saw the same glazed look in his eyes, Raven had. Expect this one had clear sorrow and nostalgic in his dark red eyes. Back then it was so simple, beat the heartless, find the keyholes and seal them, save the worlds. Simple and clean, just like the song. Seeing they would not get an answer they all turned back to the screen, as it resumed.

The sound of a rock scrapping against the wall was heard, as the screen showed Xero at an angle. Soon he stopped, as the screen zoomed in on the wall to show a badly drew face of himself with his head sideways. He drew another face of someone else, and was giving them a star with his hand. Young Xero smiled at his bad drawing, but suddenly felt a daft and felt like something or someone was behind him!

So with a startle yep, he looked behind him,"W-Who's their?" Then the young boy saw a brown cloaked figure standing their. Their face was covered in darkness, with no viable arms or legs.

"Iv'e come to see the door to this world." The voice was deep and obvious a male's, as the music turned dark and ominous.

And just like the happy atmosphere turned just like the on scene, dark and ominous, as Xero went ramrod, glaring at the figure with pure hate. He subconsciously released powerful KI, making many, Salem included, sweat.

"ANSEM!" Areo yelled form within his head, as the Keyblade master himself released a few wipes of darkness form his body.

"Oh shit, boss's pissed." Kurome muttered, feeling a bit of fear form her lover.

"Anyone we should know?" Asked Roman, wiping sweat form his forehead. Oum fuck Cinder, he rather work for the kid then miss fore and brimstone, at least then he probably survive then. Hell even Cinder herself was sweating form the power he was releasing alone.

"Seems like Cinder's met her match." Watts whispered to Hazel, who grunted in agreement. His whispered loud enough so Cinder would hear him, making her glare at the lanky tall man, who grinned obnoxiously at her. Despite this, she could't deny it, as their first fight Xero moped the floor with her and her subordinates with ease.

As for the boy himself, he just glared at the screen, before he spoke.

"His name is Ansem the seeker of darkness. One of the first of the Xehanort's."

Nobody knew what he meant by,'the first' but simply looked back at the screen.

"Huh?" Xero asked, what did that mean?

"This world has been connected." The cloaked man said, as if it was common sense.

"W-what are you talking about?" What was he going on about.

"Tied to the darkness...soon to be complete eclipsed."

"That doesn't sound good." Ren said, narrowing his eyes at the now named,'Ansem'. Salem however was integrated, what was this man talking about, as Ozpin and the adults looked worried.

"Well, whoever you are, stop freaking me out like this?" Xero said, shaking his fist at the man.

This got got a few laughs form the audience at seeing a young boy trying to look tough. It remind Qrow of when Ruby tried to act mature when angry. She looked more like a puppy glaring.

Then he looked surprised,"Huh? W-where did you come form?" He wasn't their when he first came in and would have heard him coming, so where he come form?

However the man ignored his question as he said simply,"You do not yet know what lies beyond the door." At this Xero once again, looked confused. What did that mean? His eyes widen, unless...

"So you're form another world!" He said, as realization hit him.

"Impossible." Weiss said, shaking her head,"Their no such thing as other worlds."

Some agreed, while others weren't so sure, as the resident Keyblade wielders just laughed, expect Xero.

"Oh Weissy," Leone put an arm around the petite heiress, making the white haired girl glare at Leone's massive tits in her black tube top, being pushed up in her face. "You've got A LOT to learn."

"So their ARE others worlds?" Salem asked, now very integrated. Said lion girl just smiled,"Kept watching."

"There is so very much to learn. You understand so little." This just made the boy mad.

"Oh yeah? Well, you'll see. I'm gonna get out and learn what's out there."

"A meaningless effort." This just made Xero even more anger, as he continued,"One who knows nothing can understand nothing." This just made Xero glare, as he looked to the brown wooden door for a second, before glaring back at the man, only to gasp again.

The man was gone.

"Well, if that wasn't ominous, i don't know what is." Roman said, as he felt a chill go up his spine, as everyone, even Tyrian, nodded in agreement.

Talk about creepy.

And Tyrian thrived on being creepy.

"What did he mean by that though?" Glynda asked. One who knows nothing can understand nothing?

"I think, he was just trying to mess with Xero." Nora said, as the normally bubbly Valkyrie could't stop the feeling of terror shoot through her body.

"I don't know, but i got a bad feeling." Sun said as he looked at Xero,"What do you think?" He just shook his head, as he said.

"I not sure, but what i do know is this: He was right." Before anyone could say anything, the screen started again, by turning black again.

He was right. As a child, you don't know much or understand anything. That's why, i had no idea of the danger we were in. Nor could i have foreseen what was to come.

The screen changed form blackness, to show Xero on his bed, with arms behind his head. It was night time in his room.

The boy sighed, as he looked out the window to see...

"A storm?" Their were black dark clouds, coming near the islands.

"That's not a normal storm." Oscar said, with narrowed eyes. The way the clouds moved and looked, just wasn't natural. Being a farmhand, he knew when a bad storm was coming and had a pretty good handle on what storm it was. This one however...something wasn't right.

His eyes widen, as he sat up right,"Oh no! The raft!" He quickly got up, before jumping out the window toward the shore. He ran a good few feet before stopping as strange creature's, pitch black in skin color, with yellow eyes suddenly came up form the ground like living shadows. They had a bug like appearance, with clawed hands and no mouths.

Battle music began to ring out.

His eyes widen,"It's the creature's form my dream."

"You saw them in you're dreams?" Asked Miss's Arc, Jupiter, as Xero nodded.

"Man, you've got wired dreams." Neptune said, as the younger boy said,"Their called, shadows. The foot soldier of the heartless."

"The heartless?" Ironwood said confused, as he's never heard of anything like that. They looked like the Grimm, only missing the stark bone white armor and red eyes. He looked at Ozpin, who in response shrugged. He never seen or heard anything like this 'heartless' creature before.

Salem just looked on with interest, as did Watts.

Seeing his wooden sword he used to fight, Xero grabbed it and tried to hit the shadows. Only for it to go through them. he tried a few more times, only to get the same result.

"Shit! This isn't working." Suddenly Xero looked up to the section of the island's upper land to see,"RIKU!"

Without a second thought and seeing his attacks would't do anything other then tire himself out, he made a mad dash toward the upper land.

"Who's Riku?" Mercury asked, as Xero smiled sadly.

"My best friend and rival, for as long as i can remember." The smile on his face told everyone, the boy 'Riku' was dead. Ruby knew all to well, what is was like to lose someone you love. It was pretty obvious the two were close, so no one said anything, letting the 'movie' play.

Moving fast and dodging the claws form the creature's, Xero raced up the wooden stairs of the cabin and down the wooden bridge. Soon he came to stop in front of the closed eyed, sliver haired boy.

"Riku! Where's Kairi? I thought she was with you!" Rather then answer the question, Riku said.

"The door has opened."

"What?"

"The door has opened Xero!" The boy turned around to look at his best friend,"Now we can go to the outside world!"

This did nothing but make Xero more confused,"What are you talking about?! We've got to find Kairi!"

"Kairi's coming with us!" He said with such certainly, it threw Xero off guard.

The camera zoomed out, to show a huge ball of destruction above them,"Once we step through, we might not be able to come back. We may never see our parents again. There's no turning back. But this may be our only chance, we can't let fear stop us. I'm not afraid of the darkness!" He held his hand out for Xero to take.

"Riku..." Xero wasn't so sure what he was talking about. But he didn't have time to pour on it, as a portal of darkness opened up below his feet.

"Oh man, that's REALLY not good." Ruby said, as everyone was on the edge of their seats, wanting to see what will happen next. The events, combined with the music had everyone's blood pumping for more. Even the white fang members and the unmovable Hazel.

The boy moved to reach for him, but another pool of darkness opened up below him, holding him in place, as he reached for Riku.

I didn't know it at the time, but that was the moment that would change everything. As my world came to an end., a new one opened up to me.

The older Xero's voice rang out, as the younger one was mere inches away form Riku's hand, but could't reach him, as the darkness over took both o them.

"PING"

A bright flash appeared, as once it died down, revealed only Xero, regaining his footing again after almost tripping, holding a large key shaped blade in his hand.

And Riku was gone.

Noting the gold guard, sliver key shaped blade in his hand, Xero heard a voice rang out in his head.

"Keyblade...Kingdom key." Xero didn't know what to make of it, but had a feeling everything would change.

The room was silent, as the screen went dark. Till, surprising Vernal broke it.

"Damn." Yeah, no other word to describe what they just saw, as the narrator's voice began again.

I was right. My home, the destiny islands were destroyed and taken by the heartless.

"That name again." Ironwood said, as everyone leaned in once more.

Creature's born form the darkness form within people's hearts. The darker the person's heart, the more they come. They want my heart especially. Because i wield the Keyblade, the one weapon they fear the most.

"So their like Grimm?" Winter asked, as many thought about it. The way the other Xero worded it, they did sound like Grimm. Mine however butted in.

"The heartless are more or less like Grimm, but are much more dangerous. Unlike the Grimm, the heartless can come form anywhere at a moment's notice. They take worlds, by entering the world's core and do something to it that makes it unstable and ultimately make it disappear." Everyone was shocked at that.

Make the world disappear?! Qrow actually spit out his drink out of pure shock, as Raven mouth gaped. And she wasn't the only one. Salem and Ozpin, for all their time being alive, have never heard of such a thing. And that left many fearful, how the hell does something do THAT?! Jaune looked at his fellow apprentice in surprise, he hasn't been training to wield a Keyblade for long so this was news to him.

Mine noticing the look, said simply,"You'll learn soon enough." To which he nodded, as everyone looked to the screen once more.

After my home was destroyed, i ended up on a new world called Traverse town. A world for those who lost their worlds to the heartless, like me. It was their i met those who knew what was going on and what i was chosen for.

The Keyblade, a weapon forged for one purpose: Fight the creature's of darkness and protect the worlds form oblivion. At the time, it was all so simple and i what i believed it to be. I would travel to new worlds, with my new friends and teammates Donald duck and Goofy to find the 'keyholes' of each world, fight the giant heartless guarding it to let their darkness spread and take the world, then seal it.

Simple right?

"Yeah, simple." Roman drawn out obnoxiously, making Xero glare at him.

Wrong.

As it turned out, a group of people were controlling the heartless. The worlds i visited had their own villains, who used the heartless to push their own plans however me and my friends were able to beat each one. However at some point, people were taken form their worlds. At the time i didn't know why, but soon i would find the answer. In one of the worlds i found not only Riku, Kairi as well. Sadly however,it was anything but a good reunion. Riku was working with the heartless and Kairi was in a comatose state. It was only later when i arrived at hollow bastion did i find the HER.

The one leading the villains, the one who had my home attacked and destroyed, the one who turned my brother in everything but blood against me, the one who would become one of my greatest adversary.

Maleficent the dark fairy queen.

Many frowned at this, while others smirked.

Raven on the other hand, could't help but feel a surge of anger rip through her. How DARE this Maleficent hurt her Zasha. At this point, Raven had come to the conclusion, this Xero bloodthorn was in fact her long lost son. Let's be clear, her boy vanished form her one day. No body was ever found and with this revelation of other worlds existing, combing that with his looks and the fact he used to have just black hair and purple eyes, just like her only son, and the fact he's the right age, all pointed to him being her son.

So the idea of this 'Maleficent' hurting her son was a big NO-NO. Yang was likewise. Ever since Summer rose died, Yang acted as both Ruby's protector and big sister. So when she learned she had a little brother, that was also abandoned by their mother, that protectiveness translated over to him as well. Despite not needing it, as he not only killed Grimm with ease, but every time Cardin tried to bully him, he got a swift ass kicking for it.

Ruby simply didn't like this Maleficent at all, as she obvious hurt her beloved big bro.

Sienna did nothing more then pity the dark fairy queen. She has seen the reports of her love, tearing and killing Grimm, humans and fauns alike they were tissue paper. Completely ruthless and without breaking a sweat.

It was kinda hot actually.

Salem could't help but want to met the dark fairy queen herself. Sounded like her kind of woman. Meanwhile Ozpin could't help but think if the two met, it would be disastrous. Many others were thinking the same.

Despite me beating her, which was an up and down hill battle in on itself. I had to fight my best friend twice over and found out why Kairi was asleep. It turns out she lost her heart during the invasion of my home. Sometime during that event, her heart went inside my body to stay safe form the darkness.

"Huh?" Was the general thought on everyone's mind.

I found out then, that the ones being kidnapped where the seven princess of heart.

"That sounds dumb." Cardin said, only to get a rock to the face.

"What the hell?!" He saw the thrower to be the lioness of squad Keyblade, who was innocently smiling.

"What, we could ask for food, so i thought of a rock and got one." She said, laughing.

Soon enough i had to fight Riku. Again. But something was different about him, but his voice and weapon. It was like two people talking at once and his weapon was a Keyblade that, 'unlocks' people's hearts. Whatever that meant, but as far as i could tell it made a person fall into darkness by releasing their heart.

Which is exactly what i needed.

"Huh, how's that?" Surprising enough, this came form Hazel, who had clammed down enough to ask the question. "I though turning into a heartless was bad?"

"Just watch." Was Xero's only response.

The scene change to show a room filled with yellow and broken pipes, with a large heart shaped energy machine, with the four colors of blue, purple, green, and red. Their was an X lighting going to the middle. Around them was what one can describe as a mad scientist lab, with a comatose ten year old red head laying on the floor, a white duck in a blue shirt and hat, with a black dog like person wearing a green shirt, black vest and brown pants, looking concern, as a frustrated Xero waved his Kingdom key at the heart shaped machine trying and failing to do something.

"Hold the scroll, are those two fauns?" Asked a surprised Sienna, as she saw Donald and Goofy.

"To be honest, i'm not sure." Xero said, as he never really thought about before. Being ten years old when he met them, he just figured it be normal.

"Great more freaks." Cardin said, once more getting more glares, as Xero simply flipped him off. Honestly, all the beatings he gave the boy must have given him brain damage or something.

And he got hit with another Rock, courtesy of the stoic sliver eyed maiden of Xero's squad.

"Rude." She thought, keeping a prefect blank face, despite the smile threatening to come to her pretty pale face.

However, Ruby thought of something.

"Hey big bro, if their form another world, is it normal for them to look like that?" That made everyone look at Xero who paused for a second before answering.

"To be honest, i'm not even sure what normal is anymore. Iv'e been to many worlds, and in some of them i had to use magic to blend in. And believe me, iv'e been turned into everything form a mere-man, to a walking Halloween decoration, to a monster person, to a pirate, to a toy, to a walking card person, to a bloody dice of all things, and even once a lion cub."

Everyone stared at him, some with disbelief, others could't help but snicker.

"A toy? Really?" Kali asked with a laugh, as she had to admit, the thought was a hilarious one. Xero simply nodded, as some looked at him in disbelief. But before they could voice said disbelief and bright flash of light, blinded everyone. Once it died down, it revealed,"HELLO!"

The flash of light that surrounded Xero had turned him into a Mere-man. With a black shark tail, and no shirt revealing his slender, but muscular, scared and tattooed body that made quite a few females blush. Some like Yang and Leone leered at his body shameless(Despite Leone seeing it a 100 times already), others like Jean and Blake stayed stoic, but a pretty pink pained their other wise pale cheeks. The only female not effected was Ilia for...well ya know. Hell not even Salem, Kali or even Raven were immune to the growing boy's body.

He had tattoo's that could be the same as Sienna's tiger strips, that went up his arms, back, neck and sides. He had a giant cross on his chest that was very detailed, painted in black and purple, going down his sides, neck and down his 12 pack abs. Then their's the huge "X" across his chest that has long since healed, Ruby had to admit, it looked very painful. Along with a number of slash's across his body, the giant X stood out the most. It went well with his other tattoo's.

As for Xero he just looked shocked and moved his tale, moving it once then twice, he felt his eyebrow twitch as he spoke,"Why do i get the feeling this is gonna be a recurring theme?" Ruby, despite blushing and feeling wired, looked at his tail and could't help but think.

"I want to touch it."

And so she did. Before anyone could stop the girl, she started rubbing his tail, getting a blush form Xero.

"It's...rubber." She said, as she continued to rub him up and down.

Not like that you perverts. I meant his tail.

Despite this, Sun had to ask.

"But why would you need to blend in? Weren't you their to help the worlds?"

"I was, but to protect the world order. If the inhabitants found out i was form another world, chaos could erupt. The worlds were separated and disconnected form one another. Each one grew and evolved into it's own world. What's more, is that a Keyblade wielder isn't meant to meddle in the affairs. Why i don't know, it's just the way it is, but figured it had something to do with protecting the world order." Xero said trying and failing to kept his blush down, as Ruby didn't stop and what's worse is Sienna joined in. The high leader of the white fang had to admit, the human was right.

It WAS rubbery.

Truth be told, he never really figured out what would happen if the truth was exposed. But he rather not tempt fate.

"But knowing you, you could't help but meddle." Akame more said, then asked with a cute smile on her pretty face. Thankful the young girl and woman stopped rubbing his shark tail, as he now looked sheepish.

"Guilty."

"How does one become a Keyblade wielder?" Ghira asked, making everyone, Cinder especially wanting to know how one gained such power. If she got the power of this 'Keyblade' It would't matter if Ozpin, his allies, or even Salem knew who she was and what she planned to do, she be unstoppable.

His answer dashed that hope however,"It's a bit more complicated, as no one can just wield a Keyblade. It's really hard to explain, but the best way i can say it is that a person must have a strong heart and be worthy. Even now, i'm not sure." He thought for a moment before speaking again.

"A heart that's weak, indecisive, full of hate or greed or just plain filled with darkness can't wield a Keyblade. t's why most wielder's start training as children, because their hearts are full of light. Untainted by the darkness of the world." This caused Cinder to grit her teeth. He just basically said she can't wield one. This included Adam as well and quite a few others. But before anyone else could speak, the screen started playing.

"It won't work! The keyhole's incomplete!" Goofy said, as Xero dispelled his Keyblade.

"Damn. Seems the only way to complete is too...wake Kairi up." He said, as he looked at his still sleeping friend. "But how?" The camera zoomed out as it showed the a Keyblade. It had a red guard, and black blade with a pointed end,

"A Keyblade that unlocks people's hearts." He muttered thoughtful.

"I wonder." He walked toward it, getting confused looks form his teammates.

"Xero?/Xero?" Stepping to the dark Keyblade, Xero grabbed the handle, getting a better look at it.

"No way..." Yang's eyes widen, as did everyone else's.

"He's not going too.." Weiss said in disbelief tone, as Jean nodded, her sliver eyes uncharacteristically wide.

"He is." The browless girl said, feeling a bit of pink at her pale cheeks, as did several woman at what they knew was about to happen. It made quite a few hearts throb in shock and happiness at his selfless gesture.

"Xero! Hold on!" "No wait!"

Goofy and Donald yelled, as the boy turned to them and smiled. Then without another word, turned the Keyblade's tip toward himself and...

"PING"

Stabbed himself, making a light appear out of his chest.

The Keyblade turned into six different light, them actually began hearts of the other princess, all flew out the room and back into their owners, as it showed Xero again, this time, another heart leaving his body and going into Kairi. His gambled worked as Kairi awoke and with a flash of light, showed everyone the keyhole was now complete.

But at a high price.

At the same time, Xero's body became transparent and with a smile he fell backwards in slow motion.

"Xero! Xero!" Donald yelled in horror, running to him in slow motion.

"XERO!" All his friends, loved ones, and just general all the good guys, Sienna, and even Ilia yelled in shock, at the Xero on screen was disappearing.

Kairi slowly got up and upon seeing what was happening, the motion returned to normal, as she yelled,"Xero!" She tired to catch him, but as so as she grabbed him.

"PING"

He disappeared completely in little lights, making the redhead gasp.

"No Xero! Come back Xero!" Donald yelled out in desperation, as his friend just vanished.

Ruby, who had been holding onto Xero, tighten even more, at seeing the scene of Xero 'dying'. Her eyes were wide and teary, despite seeing Xero made it back alive. As did Jean, which was odd, as the girl had such a good poker face.

"You're insane." Weiss said, with wide eyes and mouth gaping. She looked at Xero and asked,"How did you know, you could be turn back?" She didn't know much about this whole thing, but if he was here, then that means he somehow turned back. So how did he know he could turn back?

"I didn't."

Silence. So thick, you could hear a fly fart.

"You...you didn't know?" Emerald asked, shock evident in her voice. Once he nodded, the green haired girl all but yelled,"Why then?"

"Simple really: I had to take a gamble and won. Besides, as long as Kairi was fine i didn't care what happened to me." He said making quite a few females blush at his willingness to go so far for someone and once again many hearts throbbing at that. At this revelation made a lot of the males to smile with pride at him. Others though just gagged(Adam, Watts, Cardin, Cinder).

The screen went black as Xero's voice began again.

I really don't remember what happened afterword. What i do remember is falling into an abyss of blackness. I was falling into darkness.

Ruby and Jean tighten their hold on Xero's arms, making him groan at feeling his much needed blood being cut off.

However, i got lucky. Someway, somehow my heartless found it's way to Kairi and she brought me back form the darkness and turning me human again.

At that the two girls lost their iron grips, but didn't let go. Nether did Akame, who had at some point snaked her way onto his lap, and stay their. Despite his slippy lower half, she had a comfy spot.

Back to normal, me and my friends escaped hollow bastion, to regroup and figure out what to do. At the time however, i didn't realize when i turned into a heartless, i created the by-product of a heartless: A nobody.

"A what?" Qrow asked, as Xero just sighed.

"Stop interrupting and you'll find out."

The body left behind once the heart is taken. If the person had a strong enough heart, the body would began to act on it's own. However my heart was so strong it created the strongest type of nobody so rare, he was the thirteen one. But that's for later on.

Arriving back in town, i talked to Leon and the others, where i found out the one who was behind everything.

Ansem the seeker of darkness.

The one was TRULY pulling the strings form behind the scenes. The one who had not only destroyed my home, but had manipulated both Maleficent, and my best friend before he took over his body.

Many had questions, but opted to stay silent, as they'll find out soon enough.

After fighting through wave after wave of heartless, i confronted the son of a bitch, on my own island. Or at least, what was left of it anyway. Then me Donald and Goofy defeated Ansem, who tried to use a smaller version of 'Kingdom hearts' to gain more power of darkness. However, it backfired as he forgot one thing:

Kingdom hearts is light.

And he was destroyed as a result.

But it wasn't over. The giant door that was kingdom hearts, lead to the realm of darkness. One might think of it as the home world of all heartless. To close it, me and Riku had to close it, while on both sides. To close it for good, me and king Mickey who was on the other side of the door, wielding a Keyblade of his own, had to synchronize our Keyblades to seal it for good.

I thought my journey was over. After defeating Ansem, with the worlds all taken by the heartless restored and Kairi safe at home, i thought all that was left to do was find Riku and king Mickey.

"Sounds like a good way to wrap everything up." One of the older arc sister, Jade said with a smile. Everyone did have to agree with that.

I could't have been more wrong.

And just like that, smiles turned upside down into frowns.

My first journey, whom i thought was one of the hardest things i've ever done in my admittedly, short life, was just the first blight. The first wave of what was to come. I didn't realize it at the time, but i had unwillingly and unknowingly got into a decade long war that would decide the fate of not just my world, but the fate's of both the realm of light and darkness.

"Just what in the hell did you do kid?!" Qrow all but yelled. Seriously, the older Xero was making it sound like he was in some sort world ending kind of thing, but on a more larger scale. The same went for everyone, just what in the hell has he been doing?!

This made Xero sighed once more, as he said,"I could explain it, but i get the feeling the screen will show us, so again, stop interrupting." That got a few grumbled's, but everyone stayed quiet, as the screen started again.

I really don't remember what happened next, all i know is that i went to sleep for nearly a year. Along with Donald and Goofy. When we woke up, we had only one clue as to what happened.

"Thank Namine."

As it turns out, Namine is the nobody of Kairi, just as Roxas is my nobody. Because of the closeness between me and Kairi, Namine had a special power. One that had power over my memories. I had lost mine in castle oblivion, where i slept, so she could repair them. I only found out after i met my nobody. But that's beside the point and will come much later.

We got out of the old mansion and wondered Twilight town for a time, till we ambushed by our new enemy: Nobodies. The lowest and most common form of nobodies know as dusk's. The same category as the heartless's shadow's. Very weak, but attack in numbers. We got overwhelmed and would have been possible killed, but lucky king Mickey saved us. Then he pointed us in the right direction where we could learn what has happened during our long 'Nap'.

At one point, i could have taken them on, but i had forgotten most of my spells. Turns out napping for a year can be really bad for you're health.

Some chuckled at that, but otherwise said nothing.

Anyway, me Donald and Goofy took the train to the mysterious tower home of master Yen Sid. A former Keyblade master and Mickey's mentor. It was their, we learned of what was really going on.

The scene change to reveal an teen Xero still in his red and black clothing, but obviously to small for him, and he aged a little form a kid to a more teenage face, with his black hair growing longer and wilder.

"Fuck me! He looks just like Raven/me, when we were younger." The branwen twins thought to themselves. Qrow with despair, and Raven with dangerous hope growing. While she believed Xero was her long lost son, these 'views' just kept proving it more and more. Along with a very creepy smile, that quite frankly sacred the piss out of some people.

With Donald and Goofy beside him, they looked at Master Yen Sid. He was a tall man, lanky, wearing a blue rob and pointed wizard hat, with small pupils and a semi-permanent frown on his face, with a long gray bread. Fitting for any wizard.

"But wait a sec, how come the heartless are still running around?" His friends both nodded at that, why were they still around? They beat Ansem so they should't be around.

Right?

"You're past endeavors did prevent an immense effusion of heartless form the great darkness: Make no mistake about that."

"In other words, you didn't stamp them all out." Winter said, making Xero shake his head.

"Not quite."

"However the heartless are darkness made real and darkness lingers in every heart. The heartless are fewer, but while darkness exists in even a single heart, it will be difficult to eliminate." That made Xero and his friends slump.

"So you can't get rid of them." Raven said, more then asked. Before anyone could protest, Xero nodded in agreement.

"Is their really no way to get rid of them?" Asked Weiss, as Xero said,"Unless humans and fauns stop being themselves, then no. Even then every heart would need to be filled with light and giving our current company..." He trailed of looking at Salem's group and Adam. Everyone got the message, despite some glaring or just not caring.

"Now it's time we speak of the enemies that you will encounter." With a wave of his hand, the old wizard created another Donald, surrounded by light. This got a surprise,"WHA?" Form said duck.

It then change in a flash of light, revealing a shadow.

"If one such as you, Donald, yields to the darkness in their heart, they too will become a heartless. The heartless are always lurking and ever seeking new hearts to capture. Never let you're guard down." He got nod's form the three.

So with another wave of his hand, he created another creature in a bright circle. This one was tall, had no face and was gray humanoid. It swayed side to side, with blue lines traveling up it's side and had no hands, only sharp pointers. It had an odd 'T' shaped symbol on it's odd head.

"At times, if someone with a strong heart and will be they good or evil, the empty shell they leave behind begins to act with a will of it's own. An empty vessel, whose heart was stolen away, a spirit that goes on even as it's body fades away form existence. For you see, nobodies do not truly exist at all."

Staring at it, the nobody, Yen Sid moved on."Nobodies may seem to have feelings, but this is a ruse. They only pretend to have hearts. You must NOT be deceived!" He made sure the last part got across.

"Nobodies...they don't exist." Xero said in understanding.

"Well that's informative." Qrow had to admit, that made a whole lot of sense. Nobodies were like Grimm, baddies.

"That's only the tip of the iceberg." Xero said, making everyone look at him in surprise. There's more?

"Now then the being you see before you is known as a dusk. They are the most common form of nobody. But their are others, some larger, some with frightening and unique powers. Be vigilant." Xero and company nodded at the master.

"On your journey you will meet an alarming number of dusk's. They will all attempt to do you harm. Still they are nothing but empty shells, destined to return to the darkness." As he said this, the dusk change to show a man in a black coat.

Both Adam, Roman, Winter, Cinder and Blake all stiffen at seeing that VERY familiar black coat.

"The beings you see before you, are different. These powerful nobodies have formed a group called organization 13. It commands the lesser nobodies. While heartless act on instinct, nobodies function in a higher manner. They can think and plan. And it seems they are working toward a goal, one we do not know is."

As a child i was sacred of the dark. And as a teen, i fought against it, but never truly understood it.

After visiting master Yen Sid, with new clothing and powers, i set out on my second journey. The same as the last one, only this time, instead of sealing the keyholes, i had to fight both heartless, nobodies and the shady organization 13. Though to be honest, when i first saw them face to face in hollow bastion, their were only eight members.

Some of the members had been destroyed prior to me meeting, when it actually WAS me who destroyed them in castle oblivion.

"Castle what now?" Spoke a new voice, that made nearly everyone jump and looked behind to see Penny, Coco and Velvet form team CVFY.

"Ah Penny, where did you come form?" Ruby all but screamed in shock. Said robot girl just stayed silent, as the bunny girl spoke.

"Well, we were in our dorm room, then the next thing we know, were here." Everyone just looked at the new arrivals, wondering how the hell did they not notice them arrive?

"Also why does Xero have a fish tail?" Velvet asked, with a blush at staring his chest.

"No idea." Was Ilia's response, as they got no reason as to why he suddenly turned into a mere-man. But before anyone could say anything, the movie began again.

For the most part, my second journey was like the last. Only instead of fighting just the heartless, i had to fight the nobodies, visiting both old and new worlds, along with my friends. Old and new. Due to many of the old highways began closed, after restoring the worlds taken by the heartless, during my first journey.

Hollow bastion, once heartless HQ, was revealed to be the home of Ansem the wise. The REAL Ansem.

"Their's two now?" Asked Ghira as Xero, who was absentmindedly running his clawed hand through Akame's black hair, something the girl appreciated if her mewling was anything to go by, answered without stopping.

"Yes. The man we saw, was his appreciate who not only betrayed and banished his master, but stole research and as a final 'FUCK YOU' stole his name as well." Many grimaced at that. Damn talk about a final 'screw you'.

Naturally i was kinda pissed, the Ansem we beat was nothing but a fraud. Make no mistake, he had to be stopped, but that's beside the point.

"I be pissed to if i went through so much trouble, only to beat a fake." Qrow said, taking a swing of his flask.

But before the King could tell me what was really going on, Hollow bastion was attacked by a massive heartless army.

The scene change to show..."OH OUM!"

Everyone mouthed gaped at the new scene the threaten showed.

Even Salem and her group.

However it was during the battle did we learn not only who was the leader of organization 13 but who his nobody it was. Someone Mickey had actually met before this whole mess started.

Deep within the great maw, was nothing but heartless knights for miles. The scene change multiple times, showing different people fighting them off. Soon the image change again, to Xero and his friends with king Mickey running through the empty arena, where they came to an abrupt stop.

"Huh?" Mickey looked confused, as did the trio.

"What's with them?"

Before them, over a thousand heartless knights just stood still, like lifeless dolls.

"Okay, that's just creepy." Neptune said, after seeing the motionless knights.

"Hey!" Goofy yelled looking up, as the others did the same.

Just then, on the ridge overlooking the great maw, a dark corridor opened up. Once it died down, it revealed a dark skinned man, with sliver hair and amber eyes, looking down at the four.

"It's the guy who's NOT Ansem!" Donald said, as Goofy continued.

"You mean it's his nobody!"

"The leader of kingdom hearts organization 13..." Xero said, staring at the man.

As the four looked at the man, Mickey had a look of realization on his face.

"Wait a minute, now i know!"

Flashback

"Wise Ansem, i'm here to seek you're advice."

The scene change to show the mouse king inside a room, with a lot of research notes and martial's, along with pink hearts in vial glass's. In the middle of the room was a man, with straight blonde hair comb back and brown eyes, wearing a red scarf and white doctor coat.

"Huh, he does look like the other Ansem." Jupiter commented with a hmm,"Only he has blonde hair and not silver."

"I'm glad we have the opportunity to speak, like this my friend. I'm intrigued by you're hypothesis and i'm finding it difficult to stave off the urge to test it." Then Ansem's smile turned into a frown.

"Still, i'm concerned about the stability of the worlds."

"Oh man, that really doesn't sound good." Jaune said with worry in his voice.

"No kidding." Jean said, as Miria who had stayed silent turned to her leader/lover and asked.

"Any idea about what their talking about?" Everyone looked at the dark Keyblade master, who shook his head.

"Sorry. But his majesty never told me."

"Yep, that's what worries me too." Mickey said, looking down in worry.

"The door's that appear." Ansem mused.

"Door's? The hell do door's have to do with this?" Many sighed at the Cardin thick headedness, making Miria, who has never liked him and the fact, he hit on her. made the sandy haired girl a bit vicious.

"Maybe, if you used you're head once a while, you know." Cardin looked anger at that, but knew he could do nothing within the room and the painful fact, the sliver eyed girl could kick his ass seven ways to Sunday.

"The place the heartless seek." The man put his head in his hands," I fear my research may have brought this upon us."

"KNOCK, KNOCK."

Just then, a knock on the door brought the two's attention to the door, that opened to reveal a sliver haired young man, with dark skin and brown eyes. He wore a white coat like Ansem.

"Master Ansem. Regarding the experiment i presented the other day, with your permission, i'd like to proceed-

"I forbid it!" The young man was cut off, by said master.

"Forget this talk of doors and the heart of all worlds. That place must not be defiled." He said with absolution in his voice.

"But master Ansem, I've been thinking-" The young man tried again, only to be cut off again.

"Xehanort. Those thoughts are best forgotten." The now named Xehanort wanted to argue, but backed down never the less.

Flashback end

"Now i remember!"

Back in the present, Mickey told the trio what he knew.

"Xehanort! Ansem's apprentice! The leader of organization 13, is Xehanort's nobody!"

With that, Mickey summoned his Keyblade and rushed off, making Xero nodded,"Let's go."

But before they could, the motionless heartless started moving and proceed to surrounded the trio.

With a growl, Xero summoned the kingdom key and said.

"Move it!"

"We can't let Xehanort get away." Donald said, as Xero nodded again.

"Right!" Looking behind him, his friends gave him a thumbs up, before charging toward the army, as Xero did the same.

Just then the screen went dark, making quite a few people very unhappy.

"Hey, what happened?" Ruby asked, as their host appeared in a vortex, surprising everyone.

"My apologizes, but iv'e hit bit of a sang and it's going to take awhile to fix. So please be patient while i finish fixing the problem."

Before anyone could say anything, he disappeared again, leaving many very unhappy.

"Well, that was a thing." Yang said, as everyone decide to get comfortable, looks like their going to be here for a while.

DAMN! Once again, one of the longest chapters iv'e ever written.

Okay, i like to get a few things straight. First of all, yes this is a promo for this very story ruby and the gang are watching. Now second, this wasn't the plan, i planned to have both this AND the rewritten version of this out the same day. But due to my new shift at working, iv'e been up since 2:00 am today. It's been draining me quite a bit, i don't have the will to do this. I'm not quitting, just that i'm very tired and until i can get back on day shift, don't expect any updates for at least a mouth. Really, night shift sucks! I really wanted to do this right, but felt this would help you all understand what's going on.

Plus this story was LONG overdue for a rewrite and i'm doing the best i can. Also i felt like this chapter is long enough to satisfy a few of you, wanting this story rewritten already. Another thing is for some reason this helps me write better, as i can just copy what's on this file and put over on the other file.

As for Sienna and Raven's reactions, trust me i have fun plans for them. As if you read up top, i scarped the first story, but not entirely as some elements will remain their, like Adam and Blake's fight. As you may have noticed i did throw in some characters form different animes to fill out the XERO Squad, here they are form.

Akame ga kill: Akame, Esdeath, Leone, Chelesa, Mine and Kurome.

Claymore: Jean and Miria

So yeah, after i get back on track, you'll all get faster updates.

Hopefully.

Anyway, if you have any questions, just leave it in a review or PM me.

Devil out.
