Luxu's in Town!

The Day had started out like any other. The Foretellers and their students training under the bright sun in Equestria town. It had been a week since the whole adventure with the other survivors. Also the day when Luxu said he would be coming to visit.

The Foretellers were on school grounds, training with their Advanced members. Which has grown since they had left. Sunset and the Six had taken up training the normal members of the Union while they were away, and some of them had awaked to their true keyblades.

They were training them on how to go into combat with their Dream Eaters. They all kept it up with their Dream Eaters while their students were trying their hardest just to hold their own.

Lan was working with his students, pouring on the power with his Tyranto Rex Dream Eaters while his students tried their best just to keep up with it. The others were doing the same. Dan with a Toximander, Alex using an Thunderaffe, Kira with her Wheeflower, and Jenny pounding her students with Kooma Panda. Deciding that they had enough, Lan spoke up.

“Alright everyone, take five! Go over your current techniques and try to see how you can adapt to the larger opponent.” Lan instructed his students, with the other Foretellers doing the same.

“Hey Wizard.” Lan turned around at that, seeing Luxu, Time, and Sweetie Belle walk up to him. “Get the reference?”

“Luxu! And… two Sweetie Belle’s?” Alex said.

“Time Bell.” Time said, walking up and flicking Lan’s nose. “Don’t call me that name…”

“Sorry, you two just look alike is all.” Lan rubbed his nose.

“Save for the gears sticking out of my body?”

“Well you could be from a reflection where that's the norm. We don’t know, and just didn’t want to bring it up if it was a sensitive topic.” He rubbed the back of his neck.

“Duh I’m from a reflection. Why else would Sweetie be here, she’s my wielder.”

Dan’s ears perked, “Ah, so you are also a Keyblade?”

“Yeah… Core’s work.”

“Tsk, the bastard’s at it again.” Lan said.

“I was nine when he did this to me…”

“Well, anyways, what are you doing here Luxu? I know you said you’d visit us, but you never really told us what you wanted to do.”

“Well, one is to check on Jenny, putting all my memories of the war in her head must have… screwed her up…”

“Well you gave me nightmares for a couple nights. But a few sessions with some Dream Eater therapy I’m fine now.” Jenny huffed harshly.

“Wait till the aftershock hits…” Luxu mutteres. “Anyway, so I see you got Dream Eaters going well, anything you wanna know?”

“Well why don’t we put that on hold for now? Why don’t we show you three around our world first?” Kira suggested.

“Sure, we just got out from helping Zeke and some other guy out, did some things, you know, the not-so-usual.”

The rest of the agreed. After dismissing their students, the Foretellers started showing the trio around Equestria town. Their first stop was the Cakes shop for something to eat.

“So, other than the clear high blood pressure, what do these people sell?” Luxu asked.

“Well it’s like any other cafe, but they do have more sweets than anything. Cakes, cookies, brownies, etc.” Dan said, then Mrs. Cake came up to their table to take their order.

“Hello Kid! How’s it going today? No monster attacks recently?” She joked.

“Not today Mrs. Cake, and these are our friends.” Kira waved towards the Trio. “The one in the cloak is Luxu, the one with the gears is Time Belle, and last is Sweetie Belle.”

“We’re not twins.” Time added.

“Ah, okay. So what can I get’cha?”

“Can I get a cookie?” Sweetie Bell asked.

“Sure can do Sweetie! Snicker doodles right?”

“No, oatmeal.”

“Hm, different from her usual.” Mrs. Cake muttered. “What about you too?” she asked Luxu and Time.

“Ice cream if you have it.” Luxu asked.

“Chocolate bar.” Time said.

With that, and the Foretellers orders, she left to go get them.

“So how was your recent adventure?” Dan asked them.

“We ran into a god.” Luxu said nonchalantly.

“Another God? And not your grandfather?”

“Grandpa is powerful, we can all agree on that, but this was a REAL god, from beyond the void.”

“Damn, never thought any of us survivors would have met one this soon.” Alex said.

“He was on our side thankfully. I think Grandpa told stories about him once, he was human once, then got strong, bunch of stuff in the middle.”

“Pretty much somes up any story of higher beings.” Alex joked. “So was he a good guy? Or did you guys have to fight him?”

“You kidding, he fixed the moon on that world, which was broken into many pieces, and fixed the breaking world just by clapping.”

The Foretellers were surprised, but kept their cool. “So good guy. That’s a relief.”

“So that’s a power of a true god. How frightening.” Dan said. “I could only imagine what he went through to get that kind of power if he was once human.”

“According to the story, a lot of pain, then some dumb luck.”

Kira spoke up, “So you said there was another guy with you. Who was that?”

“Some guy playing assassin based off a game from your world.” Luxu waved it off. “Corvo I think?”

“Assassin? Well I’m not going to say the obvious answer, but I’m pretty sure it’s not right.” Alex replied.

“Just cause you haven’t killed yet, doesn’t mean it won’t happen.” Luxu said. “Jenny saw the bloodshed of the war, you don’t wanna know how much came after... “

“Anyways, so there’s another survivor huh?” Jenny said, “Though it’s another one who didn’t ask for a keyblade. Would be nice to meet him soon.”

“Zeke apparently gave him one, he seems like the kind of guy I’d hang out with if only to brawl against.”

“Sounds like Zeke. So which keyblade was it?” Kira asked.

“Fenrir.” Luxu answered, finishing his ice cream.

More small talk had continued after that with some of the most random topics. Being it hobbies, to favorite kind of music. After they all finished their food, they left to walk around town. After seeing the little sights that the small town has to offer, they decided to retire to the Mansion.

The Trio was sitting in the common area where the Foretellers were sitting around them, except for Kira who went to get the tea.

“So, how about we get to what you wanted to talk to us about?” Lan said.

“Oh, yeah. So what do you wanna know? I got some secrets.”

“Well for one thing, when we left Daybreak you told us that we have yet to achieve our true potential as the new Foretellers. Is there more to being a Foreteller than achieving Keyblade Master?” Dan asked.

“Well there's a large number of things that they could do, that you, if you do have their abilities, need to know about.”

“We have more than just our limit breaks? I thought that those were like our Final Attacks. Like how it is in RPG games.” Alex half joked.

“This is reality, or did you forget?” Luxu sighed. “Look, I get that in your birth reality things were largely fiction there, it’s part of why gramps drip-fed you them as fiction, it’s his ‘back-up’ incase something happens.”

“Just trying to keep the mood light. So, these other abilities. What are the? Or do we have to discover those ourselves?”

“From what we did, there’s five main abilities, and two abilities that are specific to the wielder, or person. First is the power over the heart, the ability to traverse light by using only your heart for combat. Second is the power over the soul, the thing that can keep you alive… even when your head is cut clean off. Third is the power over your Keyblades truest powers. Fourth is the power over the mind, and memories, using them as safeguards against darkness. Lastly there’s the power over what form your Keyblades take, and not just their glider forms. But that requires some things first.”

“Are there any tombs in the Daybreak Library that would help us?”

“There are tombs, but they aren’t there.”

“They aren't there? Why wouldn’t they be? Wasn’t there your headquarters or whatever?” Jenny asked.

“Yes and no. We put a lot of stuff there, but all the… secret info we kept in a really safe place.”

“Which is…?”

“The dreamscape.”

“The Dreamscape?” Dan asked. “Isn’t the Dreamscape just a world of cognition made up from our own memories?”

Dan was hit over the head by Luxu. “You think too much. The dreamscape is another reality in itself, made up from the linked hearts and memories of every living thing. Worlds that are there exist as… stable points. Places where there is some reality and sanity.”

“So when you said they are in the dreamscape, does that mean that the information on the old Foretellers are hidden in these worlds?”

“Not any, one specific world. A world that is borderline light, largely darkness, and hazardous to say the least, both in the waking world, and sleeping one.”

“The World That Never Was.” Kira said in realization.

“We called it the Fallen World, but yes. Unlock it’s dream world keyhole, and all the knowledge of every reflection Foreteller is yours.”

“Well no pressure. Now we have another objective on our todo list.” Alex groaned.

“Is that all? Or is there some conditions to finding it?”

“Just a trial… a rather twisted test I made that only the most sadistic freak can get though.”

“You are just a barrel of sunshine aren’t you?” Jenny said sarcastically.

“... You’ll have to survive a memory recreation of the Keyblade war…”

This shocked them all.

“We basically have to relive the Keyblade war? The war that split all the worlds and death of thousands of bearers?” Lan said.

“Yes. Survive, the knowledge is yours, ask to leave, you can never re-enter to try again… die… you die…”

The whole room was silent. They tried to let the information settle in, while the other three waited for them.

“There is however, a work around.” Luxu said.

“I’m guessing it’s not any easier.” Dan said.

“You have to survive the war, the recreation of it anyway, there is a ‘over ride’ I hid in the recreation, a copy of me overseeing the war… like I did… Find him, take his keyblade and unlock his box the war around you will stop and everything will turn into the library.”

“Well considering it’s you, the copy of you won't give it up without a fight. So we’ll still be in a heap of trouble.”

“Maybe not. My copy’s mentality is that of how I was back then. If you all still look like, well, the foretellers, you might be able to trick him into either opening the box for you, or getting him to give them over. If he feels something is up, you will end up fighting him, though, you’d have to be an idiot to not trick me back then. I used to be so gullible.”

“Pretty surprising, I guess that’s what’s next on our list if we want to get any stronger to stand next to Zeke and the others. But there is one more thing.” Lan said. “Do you know how to locate someone in any worlds reflection? Specifically, the Realm of Darkness.”

“After the light half of your friend?”

“Yeah. We know he is imprisoned in a realm of darkness, but we don't know which one. It could be one that no one has even been to get. So we need to narrow it down but we don't know how.”

“Well, a person with a heart of pure light, a half or not, would attract heartless in the thousands. My guess, would be one of Core’s heartless experimentation labs.”

“That doesn't narrow it down much either. We were in one of those labs when we were on our last adventure with everyone.”

“You were in one of his torture chambers, his experimentation labs are much more… hospital looking. Though… how long has he been, split?”

“We can't be sure, cause we don't know when Core picked him out of juvie. If it's as long as we’ve been in this world, then around 5-6 months.”

“Well, it’s because there’s a new type of heartless, if you can call them that, that Core’s been using.”

“New Heartless? We've only been dealing with unversed. Only time we saw heartless was when we were in the chamber with everyone. Those looked relatively normal.”

“These ‘heartless’ are fused with Unversed, and even people. Core somehow managed to force the darkness in a person's heart to physically manifest, creating human heartless. Smart, and strong are two bad combinations. As for the unversed variant, he somehow injects them with an unversed, like a parasite.”

“Unversed are beings of negative emotion, so it would stand to reason that they could strongly influence negativity if they infect someone. Pushing the further into darkness.” Dan said.

“Maybe, but most of the ones I saw were… like you guys…”

“Like us? Wait… you mean?” Their eyes widened.

“They had grandpa’s energy in them too, they came from earth.”

“Then Core has connections to Earth too! I knew Huxley’s wish wouldn't be effective.” Jenny slammed her fist on her chair.

“Grandpa explained how, basically because of the mass chaos on that twenty-twelve thing you guys went though, his guilt gave Core just enough crawling room to enter, who knows what your world is like now… if there’s any people on it still.”

They all looked downcast. Jenny, Dan, and Alex may not have had very good relationships with their family, but they still cared for them. Especially what happened during their Mark of Mastery Exams.

“Damnit.” Jenny hissed. “Well, now we have more of a reason to get Crow back in one piece. So he can't make anymore Unversed to qualify others.”

“Even so, he likely can just make another person split. He will also know you’re gonna try and take your friend back, so he’ll try and put you all through hell to reach him. Since your friend is the first he likely got, he’s likely got him in the lab he code named ‘Dynamo’. From what I saw the one time I went there, that’s where he puts things of ‘high value’ that he can use.”

“I don’t think he would replace Crow. When we saw him split his heart, he said something about how his heart was perfectly divided already.”

“Then that’s a main reason he would be there, Crow’s heart is balanced like Zeke’s. If he tried, he could wield the X-blade too. Though, split it’s impossible. I feel like this is deja vu somehow?”

“So, is this lab still in the Realm? Or somewhere else?”

“It’s in the realm, though it’s location is less than livable. The whole area is pulsating with ancient darkness. Some strong heartless roam there, not including an Embodiment.”

“So if we even want to stand a chance at surviving there, we’d have to unlock our full powers first.” Jenny sighed. “This just got a lot more complicated.”

“Add a miracle on the top and yeah, that’s about what it takes. I barely made it out of there when the Embodiment spotted me… which reminds me. Time, Sweetie, can you two get some snacks?” Time and Sweetie nodded, leaving the room. “Alright, now here’s where I ask for a favor.” Luxu stated in a serious tone.

“Yes? You helped us immensely, so we would gladly return the favor.” Kira said.

“Depends on what you mean by gladly.” Alex muttered, earning a smack from Jenny.

“That Embodiment stole something from me, and I need you to kill it and take it back.”

“What was it?”

Luxu did the unthinkable, he took off his hood, revealing his body being made from darkness, with a pair of yellow eyes. “He stole my body. My heart took in the darkness nearby and I managed to make this and escape. Get me my body back.” He said, putting his hood back on.

“You’re like a lingering soul.” Lan muttered, “Do they…?” He directed towards the kitchen.

“Lingering Will, and sorta, I still have my heart, I just need my body. And no, no one other than you five now know… not even my grandpa knows. I mastered illusion magic and it’s been helping me keep this a secret for a long time.”

“We promise, Luxu. We’ll get your body back.”

“Just another thing to put on the to do list.” Alex joked.

“Just remember, and embodiment isn’t like a heartless, hell, they’re something Core generally fears. This embodiment is different though, it’s the embodiment of Ignorance, blind service to whoever it chooses. Unless your heart is darker than pure darkness, it won’t work trying to get it to defect. He likely gave my body/Nobody over to Core.”

“Great. Looks like the odds are against us. Just like they always are.” Jenny said sarcastically. “But thanks. Without all this we’d have no idea where to start looking. So, and I can probably speak for all of us, we will do whatever it takes to get your body and make it up to you.”

“Thanks, oh, and here.” He said, pulling out a white crow mask. “I made this for myself back when, but since things turned out differently, I never wore it.” He said, tossing it to Lan. “Same thing as your masks, just give it to someone who deserves it.”

“We will. Thank you.”

Author's Note

What is up everybody!?

Here's the next chapter of my story, hope I didn't keep you waiting too long.

And Shout out to BioQuillFiction for playing Luxu and helping me edit the chapter.

Life, Fav, Follow and all that stuff.

Elzin

Two week have passed since Huxley went to that Undertale world and he has been having nightmares ever since. “No, no.” Huxley shouted as he woke up. “Great another nightmare.” Huxley said as he walked downstairs to see Elzin stretching “Hey Elzin or is it Erza?”

“It’s Erza and good timing I was about to wake you for our run.” Erza said

“Actually I’m going to skip that today I have to do things.” I said walking out of the house and into a dark alley way where he opened a DTD to Canterlot. “At least I can quick travel again.” Huxley said half heartedly. As he got to the castle he simple said “No I shouldn’t bother her.” and walked away.

At the Foretellers mansion, the five of them could be seen training. It’s been a few days since Luxu had visited, and they have been training hard ever since. They were determined to achieve their full powers, rescue Light Crow, and get Luxu’s body back. Though they thought they weren’t strong enough at the moment. For now they agreed to train until they are ready, or circumstances come up.

They were currently in the Digital training ground, facing off against the digital Unum.

Let’s just say… they were having some difficulty.

*BOOM!*

A body suddenly slammed into the ground… hard.

A beaten and disheveled Lan slowly rose from the crater clutching his keyblade.

“What is this supposed to train us in again?” Alex said limping towards Lan. Around them were battered forms of the Foretellers, breathing heavily.

The Digital Unum launched into the air and dove towards them, ready for a final attack. Until it dissolved into a bunch of data.

“Battle damage has reached critical. Unum Level 9 training has shut down.” Code Keeper suddenly appeared, making the environment around them disappeared. “I suggest you all take a rest for now. This training has taken a toll on all of you physically and mentally.”

“Yeah, I could use a breather.” Alex said, collapsing on the ground.

“We’ve been at it for a while. Maybe we should head back home. We can pick this up tomorrow.” Kira said.

“C’mon guy’s. We can’t quit. We don’t know how tough it’ll be in The World That Never Was, and from what Luxu said about the Embodiment we need to get as strong as we can get.” Jenny argued.

“But it won’t help us if we get to exhausted during training.” Dan countered. “We want to get Crow and Luxu back too, but we can’t go killing ourselves before we even try to.”

They all looked at Lan for a final answer, “I agree. We have to take it easy for now Jen. Remember when you were on the track team? What happened before the big meet?”

Jen blushed in embarrassment. “Okay fine, I give.”

With that, they all logged out of the training ground.

As the hours pass Huxley found Elzin breathing heavily at the edge of the whitetail woods “You okay Bro?” Huxley asked.

“Yeah i’m fine just need a breather...and something to make the pain go away.” He said jokingly

“How about some breakfast before you meet new people.” Huxley said as Elzin wondered.

“New people?” he asked as Erza chimed in ‘perhaps they are the people you met during your trip to Daybreak.’

At the Foretellers mansion they were about to head out for the day when they heard there doorbell ring.

“Hm. I wonder who that could be.” Kira said as she went to open the door.

“Hello.” Huxley said as Kira tilted her head wondering who it was, the voice seemed familiar but she couldn’t place the face “Its Huxley I guess you wouldn’t recognize me without my cloak... or mistake me for Luxu.” he joked.

“Oh, hey Huxley. What are you guys doing in our world?” She asked.

“Well I did promise to bring Elzin to tell you what happens in the next movies so... here he is.” Huxley said turning around “If i’m not back by tomorrow send him to Zeke.” Huxley said opening a DTL and leaving

“Hi.” Elzin said meekly before his eyes changed.

“Sorry about him I’m Erza.” A different voice came out of him surprising Kira.

“Whoa! I feel like I’m missing something here.” She said to herself. “Well why don’t you come in? We shouldn’t talk on the porch.” She lead Erza/Elzin into the common area.

“Thank you.” Erza said as Elzin got back in control “I hate it when she does that.” Elzin said.
Just then, the rest of the Foretellers came into the room to see who wams at the door.

“Elzin? Why are you here? Shouldn’t you be with Huxley?” Alex said.

“Huxley dropped me off here to tell you what happens in the next few Equestria girls movies... plus I think he had a date with Lyra and Bon-bon.” Elzin said.

“Oh yeah, you did say you’d tell us back in Daybreak.” Jenny said. “So Huxley’s got a date? With two girls no less. Surprising, but we can’t judge. Especially this guy.” She jabbed her thumb towards Lan.

“*Ahem!* Anyways, nice to have you here. So you wanted to discuss whats going on?” Lan said.

“Okay before I start this how many students at Canterlot High have a Keyblade?” Elzin asked.

“Pretty much everyone. Even some teachers, including Principal Celestia and Luna.” Alex said.

“Great and are you guys immune to mind control?” Elzin asked

“Well we never ran into a situation like that, so we can’t really be sure. I hope we are anyways.” Lan said.

“Okay because the villains of the next movie are the Sirens a trio of girls from Equestria who feed on negative emotions and hypnotizes people through song, there power can only be countered by magical melody. And if you guys aren't immune then you’ve given Sunset Shimmer a harder time.” Elzin said.

“The sirens? Never heard of them before.” Kira said. “But I do remember stories back home about sirens in mythology. How they use their songs to lure fishermen to their deaths.”

“And they feed off of negative emotions. They sound like the Unversed… geez I hope I didn’t jinx anything just now.” Alex said.

“Sonata Dusk, Adagio Dazzle and Aria Blaze those are there names.” Elzin said “Oh and don’t be afraid to call on Zeke or Twilight... speaking of Twilight the villain of the third movie is called Midnight Sparkle aka this world's Twilight, she controled by Principal Cinch of Crystal prep This will take place during the friendship games.”

“I’m just surprised that there is more than one movie.” Kira said. “Wait, Twilight is the Villain!? NO! That can’t be right!” She yelled, as some of her childish thoughts crashed.

“Sorry but you could ask Zeke to get God the DVD’s to prove it.” Elzin said.

*Ding-Dong*

Kira opened the door, and found a box that sat on the porch. “Yay!” She cheered.

“Crystal Prep? Man I ran into a couple guys from there, while i was working at the Coffee House. They talked all high and mighty and orders the more expensive items. I hated the way they looked at others though, like they think they were above them.” Alex said.

“Anyway I don’t have much information about the fourth movie other then it takes place at a summer camp call Camp Everfree, just when summer rolls around head there.” Elzin explained.

“Ah, well that’s a shame. But still, thanks for the information on the other events that are coming up.” Lan said. “But we can’t expect them to be just like the show. This is reality, so we still must be cautious.”

“Yeah sorry for the lack of information on the fourth one I’ve honestly only seen the third one and I get my information via reviews.. Nobody reviewed the fourth movie.” Elzin said.

“Well it looks like that won’t be a problem.” Dan said, directing his attention towards Kira, who was looking through the box of DVD’s.

“Well you guys have me for the whole day anything you want to do?” Elzin asked.

“Well, how about a movie marathon?” She held up the EQG DVD’s.

As the day turned to night then back to day the Foreteller were preparing to send Elzin to Zeke so he could be sent to Huxley when all of a sudden a doorbell rang.

“Man, we keep getting visitors. We’re almost out of tea.” Kira said opening the door. As she opened the door she say Huxley in his girl form wearing some revealing clothing with his/her hair as a mess.

“Um… Do I want to know?” Kira said carefully.

“It was the only thing Lyra and Bon-bon had that fit me.” Huxley said as Elzin and the rest of the Foretellers walked up.

“Wow, what happened to you? You look like day two at Coachella.” Jenny said.

“Which one of you is the perverted one?” Huxley asked.

“That’s me.” Alex raised his hand, as the others looked at him strangely. “What? I’m comfortable of who I am, and I’m admitting to it now. Cause Pinkie doesn’t mind.” He said with a silly smile.

“I’m going to tell you how it started but then explain to him what happened next.” Huxley said.

“I was back in my ponyville walking up to Lyra’s house when I knocked at the door, as they opened it a bucket of water fell on my head and I turned into a girl Bon-bon seeing this dragged me inside then.” she dragged Alex close then started whispering as Alex’s face just got redder and redder.

“No way they did that, how big?, and it fit?” Alex said as everybody looked in wonder what happened, and Lan covering Kira’s ears.
“I’ll tell...most of you later.” he said looking at Kira. “Anyway we should make sure that your Lyra and Bon-bon never meet Rune the sexiness could end worlds.”

“Well… that was interesting.” Dan said with only a slight dust of red on his cheeks. “So you’re here to pick up Elzin right?”

“Yep.” Huxley said as they left through a DTL.

“Well that was a thing.” Jenny said. “And Alex, don’t bother telling us. You can just keep it to yourself.” She said a she walked off, along with the others.

In Darkest Times

It had been a month since Luxu had visited the Foretellers. From that day forward, they had been training at their very best of their abilities since then. They were working long and hard to be ready to enter the Dreamscape. But for some reason, they were never convinced they were strong enough. In reality, they were afraid.

He had told them that they had yet to fulfill their full powers as the Foretellers, and the only way to discover them was to relive the Keyblade war. They would have to relive the war that split the worlds appart, the war that killed thousands of Key Bearers as well as the original Foretellers. They were also told that Crow’s light half was in a very dangerous location in the Realm of Darkness, where creatures that Core fear dwelled.

They wouldn’t admit it to each other, but they were all afraid of what comes next.

“Hah!”

*Tonk!*

“Brace yourself!”

*Clank!*

At the moment, there were continuing their Union’s training. Having to train their students temporarily distracted them from their fear. It was a bright and sunny day over Equestria Town. School had let out a while ago, and their Unions were eager to learn under them.

The whole of their unions were training in the school’s football field, it was not as spacious as they would prefer, but it gave them an idea of what to expect in live combat.

Bang.

The single gunshot was too quickly followed by a barrage of them, dozens of union members fell, large bullet wounds bleeding out blood and darkness from the fallen members.

“AHHHHH!” One of their union members screamed. That caught the attention of everyone around them. When they turned, the sight made their blood freeze instantly.

“What the hell?” Alex said, his voice shaking a bit. “Who are you?” He said as the masters rushed up and readied themselves.

A man with an eyepatch, dressed in a black jumpsuit, handgun clips strapped all over him as he held two rather large pistols, walked onto the field, reloading his guns. “I hear you kiddies are playing dress up as old war buddies.” He said.

“We’ll ask one more time. Who Are you!? What is your purpose here? And why did you kill our Union members!?” Lan said harshly.

“Simple answers really, firstly, Core want’s more Keyblade to corrupt. Second, I have a little friend to show you, and lastly… killing is what a Ventral does best.” He said, arming his guns. “Names Josh, Josh Ventral. I believe you know my nephew Zeke?”

When he said his name, it made them slightly shake in fear.

“Josh? You are the Head of the Ventrals?” Dan said cautiously.

“Yup, to this day, close to a two thousand kill count total in my lifetime. From my personal count… I got only six more kills to make.” He said with a devilish grin. “Like to see someone beat that record.”

“You’re a monster.” Kira said. “Everyone! Clear the area, Now!”

“Flattery gets you some praise.” He said, firing at the Union members running, hitting many. “You in particular little lady might like this friend of mine.”

He did not get a chance to say another word, when both Dan and Alex rushed towards him intending to slash him. But Josh blocked both of their strikes with his guns, forcing them into a stand still.

“You will not kill anymore of our Members!” Dan said.

Josh whistled, a DTD opened up and to the Foretellers surprise… Ava walked out, her robes darker shaded of their colors and dirty. “Oh Ava, these people here are disrespecting your fallen allies, mind teaching them respect?” Josh said.

Ava nodded, in a dark haze grabbing both Dan and Alex my the back of their heads, flinging them into the school building thought the walls. “Respect the dead.” She muttered.

“M-Master Ava?” Kira stuttered, standing defiantly along with Jenny and Lan. “Is that really you?”

Ava looked at Kira. She lifted a finger. “You. I… you died in the war. They all did. Why do you mock them? Us?”

“Master! I don’t know what that bastard told you, but we aren’t your enemies! Why are you helping that piece of shit!?” Jenny yelled.

Ava started to cry, which sounded a mix of sorrow and laughter. “I couldn’t stop the war! I tried to end it on the battlefield, make them stop! Only one method worked!” She held out her hand, a Keyblade that looked like it was made from blood and the other Foreteller masks, partly wrapped in Luxu’s robes, appeared in her hands. “I killed everyone! My friends, my home, the warriors that fought that day! I walked away from that graveyard with this keyblade, forged from the countless lives I ended that day.” She kept crying/chuckling. “It was what I was meant to do, save the light… so I ended the war on my reflection.”

The three of them stared in horror. This wasn’t the Master Ava they had seen or read about. This was a broken heart gone mad. The one that massacred out of spite, believing what they were doing was right.

“Master Ava, is lost to us.” Kira hung her head in shame. “How could you!? You were supposed to be the one who had any sense! You were supposed to lead the Dandelions across the worlds to preserve the light!” She yelled with tears in her eyes.

Ava laughed this time. “Some Dandelions! The world they want to, become so corrupt and hollow of basic human kindness I did more harm than good! This mask..” She said, touching her mask with her free hand. “This hides something, a face of a long dead girl. Why do I have to have it… we all died that day, even Vulpus rejected me. Then, Genocide here came to me, forged in blood and madness. Gave me, a face that fit.” She lifted her mask, revealing to the Foretellers her completely black eyes and blood red skin. “Anyone who disrespects the dead, I’ll add to Genocide’s blood coated metal.” She finished, putting her mask back on.

Kira looked like she wanted to say something more, but was held back by Jenny. “We can’t Kira, she’s too far gone. There is only one way to get out of this.” She raised her keyblade with Lan doing the same. Kira was at first reluctant, but she knew what had to be done, so she raised Vulpus as well.

“Well ain’t this touching.” Josh said, patting Ava’s head. “Too bad your ‘hero’ was actually way worse than I am.” He mocked. “Wasn't that Master of Masters no different? A whole war just to try and destroy a Keyblade that didn’t show up. Man, pick your idols better kids.”

“Now who’s disrespecting the dead?” Jenny said sarcastically. “So, I’m just gonna cut the bull shit and say that you aren’t just gonna turn yourself in peacefully. Why don’t we just get to the hard way?”

Josh shot at Jenny, who blocked it intime, but to her shock upon impact, Ursus made a noise as if it screamed, disbanding instantly. “Fine by me.” Josh said, ruching in and punching Jenny’s gut, sending her flying back into a nearby store.

While he was distracted, Lan took this opportunity to rush from behind and swing towards Josh’s head, only for Josh to block with his gun.

“Oh, quite the dirty move. Aren’t the Foretellers supposed to fight with “Honor?” He said before spinning around kicking Lan away. Not even one second after, two roughed up Dan and Alex intercepted him. “Oh, you two are back?”

“Don’t count us out just yet.” Dan said.

“We won’t let you go without paying for hurting our Unions!” Alex yelled.

“Let me think, how about, try it?” Josh said, suddenly appearing next to Alex and Twisting the arm he held Leopardus, there was an audible pop, and Alex’s arm went limp and he dropped his Keyblade. “Be thankful I only dislocated it.” Josh said as he spin kicked Alex into the outdoor bleachers. “Core wants you all alive for whatever reason.”

“Blizzara!” Dan cast, A large ball of ice shot towards Josh.

Ava came up and grabbed it, throwing it back at Dan who became partly frozen upon impact. “Not bad.” Ava said. “Not fast though.” She ran up to Dan and kicked him away. Breaking him out of the ice, but also slamming him into the ground.

Suddenly, Lan, Kira, and Jenny appeared surrounding Ava, aiming their keyblades towards her.

“Don’t make us do this!” Kira said, still hoping to appeal to her.

Ava’s only response was taking her Keyblade, cutting her arm with it, the blood making the keyblade act as if it was now liquid. “Blood bath!” She yelled, whipping the now whip like keyblade around, cutting their robes, skin, and staining them blood red. With one spin wip, she tossed them all away. “Blood Blizzaga!” She cast on both Lan and Jenny, the two frozen in red ice. “Fyi, that’s real blood.” She added. She turned, looking at Kira. “So, what to do with my ghost, my past, ignorant, childish self?” She grabbed Kira’s throat and raised her to eye level.

“P-Please… Master. Yo-you don’t h-h-have to do this.” Kira struggled to say.

Ava only looked at her in disinterest. “I was just like you before the war. Innocent, hopeful, full of happiness. But I was naive, I believed every word the Master told us and followed his every order. But it all ended with my family being killed! Why don’t I make it so we see the world the same way?” Ava raised her keyblade. “A world, filled with nothing but pain.”

*Slash!*

In that moment, the world had gone silent. The other four Foretellers looked horrified.

Ava had swung diagonally down on Kira’s face. Leaving a large gash over her left eye, with blood spewing out. Kira let out a blood curdling scream as she fell to the ground.

The moment she hit the ground, she lied there unmoving. Likely because of the pain and shock.

“Now it’s like I have a daughter.” Josh said, walking over to Kira and Ava. “WIsh I had a camera.”

In that moment, they felt a large spike of energy, or rather four of them. They turned to see the other Foretellers suddenly exerting auras of pure rage.

“You…” Lan said ominously, his hair covering his eyes. “You hurt my little sister. Our family. You will pay.”

Josh was about to make a snarky remark, but was interrupted by an enraged Jenny appearing in front of them. She struck the ground in front of them, making spiked pieces of the earth jut out of the ground piercing them. The struck the ground again making the spikes shoot of of the ground with Josh and Ava with them. In the air, Jenny reappeared above them. “Deadly Impact!” She slammed her keyblade down on them, making them crash into the ground.

Josh and Ava stood back up, only looking slightly injured. “That the best you go-?” Suddenly they were surrounded by some sort of ice wall that blinded them from their surroundings.

“Stardust Cemetery!” Dan’s voice rang through the ice. A combinations of Keyblade strikes as well as multiple giant spires made of ice came down upon the two.

When the ice walls fell, it revealed a more disheveled looking Josh, but a still okay Ava. It was then they heard a large humming coming from one direction. They looked towards the source and saw Alex spinning a large disk of lightning with his one working arm. “Ripping Thunder!” He launched the disk towards them, only leaving a large explosion of dust and lightning in their place.

Inside the crater, the two were still standing. Thinking that it was over, only to see an angry Lan walking slowly towards them with a menacing red aura around him.

“You will pay for what you have done, Josh Ventral, Former Master Ava. I will not forgive you for the lives you have taken, and what you did to my family.” He raised his Keyblade in the air. The Crimson aura surrounding him flowed into the Keyblade, Constructing it into a saber-like form. "Judgment of the Fallen!” One foul swing of his blade, made the area around them implode with the same crimson energy. The only thing left was the enraged Foretellers, a still standing Ava, and a beaten down Josh.

Josh started laughing as he hit the floor, Ava walking off. “Later bitch.” Josh said.

“Later forty-seven.” She said, opening a DTD and walking into it, leaving Josh at Lan’s feet.

“Man, you hit harder than Core expected.” Josh said, turning over to lay on his back.

“You will pay for your crimes.” Lan said, raising his keyblade.

“Bitch I’m already dying. Congrats, you killed off Josh number forty-seven.” He said, tearing a hole in his shirt, revealing the number forty-seven tattooed on his chest.

“Forty-seven? You mean you aren’t even real!?” Alex yelled.

“Core dragged a Castle Oblivion into the realm of darkness, was gonna study its effects in the new environment, but after we lost three real Ventrals to you keyblade swinging brats he figured, why not use it’s ability to create memories, illusions, and make them physical. My body is nothing more than dirt and darkness, held together with the memories of the real Josh kept moving by the card holding them.”

The Foretellers were speechless. All this death, the things he did, and he wasn’t even real. This made Alex started to chuckle. “If we barely beat a half baked clone, how the hell do we stand against the real one? Or Core for that matter?” He said.

“Why, if you’re just some clone, then why did he even send you? Why does Core want us alive? Why are you toying with us?” Jenny yelled grabbing the scruff of Josh’s shirt.

Josh spit in her face, it was a mix of dirt and liquid darkness. “From what the memories in me say, he wants you strong to make himself stronger. He needs strong enemies, to get stronger for some reason.”

“That’s it? Just for us to get stronger?” Lan said.

“From what I did manage to hear on the grapevine, Core’s plan requires strong opponents, something like what your Keyblade war was fought for, to make him complete. He’s trying to summon something worse than him, and only the deaths of many, or of strong hero’s calls it.”

“Do you know who’s lives you’ve ended!? No you don’t you got damned murderer! Don’t you see you’re just a commodity to Core? He’ll just toss you out when you lose meaning to him!” Dan yelled.

“You act like I don’t know what I am? After all, when I started dying, Ava left. I know that I’m a cheap tool, easily broken and replaced.” Josh’s body began to melt. “Heh, One last thing, well two, Unversed already cleared out your fallen fighters corpses, Core needs parts, both in the bodies and the Keyblades they had. Second, Core needs Zeke to go into his Killing Mood.”

“Zeke’s killing mood? Why would Core want that? Wouldn’t that be a threat to him?” Lan asked.

“Yes and no. Something about the Ventral killing mood has a connection to what he needs, what he’s trying to summon. If Zeke’s killing Mood is activated, that brings him mind, body, and soul, closer to this thing Core’s wants. After that Core just need’s Zeke, then from what I guess the real fun starts for you bitches!” Josh said, his body beginning to melt further, Jenny dropping him. “Hope you pray! Once Core get’s what he needs it’s game over!” Josh said, melting until all that was left was a blue Castle Oblivion Card with Josh’s face on it, and even it started to break apart into light carried by the wind.

They all just stood there, with dumbstruck looks on their faces. Finally, the adrenaline fueling them had run out, they fell one by one onto the ground. Lan was the last to fall, and before he could give into unconsciousness he saw a figure standing above him.

“Well that was… nasty.” The blurry man said. “You guys need to get some rest, I’ll take ya home.” With him saying that, Lan finally fell into blissful unconsciousness.

Lan groaned as he tried to sit up from his possession. He finally opened his eyes, to see that he was lying on the couch in the common area of the mansion. He then suddenly felt pain all over his body. ‘So it wasn’t a dream. But how did I get him?’ He thought. When then caught his attention was three of his siblings sitting around him. Alex having a sling around his left arm, along with Dan and Jenny wrapped in gauze.

“Well, welcome back to the world of the living Lan.” Jenny said sarcastically.

“Everyone? Are you alright? How did we get home?” Lan asked.

“That would be me.” Lan turned around, seeing a man in a brown trench coat, blue jeans and a black shirt that looked like a brown haired and eyed Zeke. He was leaning against the wall. “Saw the fight, got really dark at the end part there.”

“Who are you?” Lan asked.

“Cript.” He replied casually. “Your sister will be fine, though, for reasons I dislike I’m not allowed to give her her original eye back.”

Lan’s eyes widened, “Kira! Where is she?” Lan looked around.

“Her room sleeping, and quiet, she needs sleep a hell lot more than you guys.”

Lan calmed down at that. Only for him to hang his head in shame, and some tears falling from his eyes. “We failed today. We were beaten, some of our Union members were killed, and Kira lost an eye. And we were only fighting a cheap knock off of the real Josh Ventral.” His fist tightened. “How are we supposed to fight him as we are now? How are we supposed to fight against someone like that?” From their facial expressions, his siblings shared his sentiment.

“Meh. So you just gonna give up then?” Cript said, gaining their attention. “From what I hear you asked to be heros, have been doing well, but you fail to realize failure? Call me a hypocrite, but the reason I won every battle was because of a few reasons. One, failure was just not an option for me, second, self determination to see what will happen afterwards, and lastly, my family. Can’t do giving up and dying on them now can I?”

They all looked down in shame. “But that knock off and Ava pushed us to our limit. Even at our best, we could barely put a scratch on her, and the clone was probably significantly weaker.” Dan said

“He was.” Cript confirmed. “I can see… well, think of it as I can see your levels. That copy was five times stronger than you guys, yet you still came out the winners. Ava only managed to leave because she was fifty thousand times stronger than you guys.”

“We aren't like Zeke, or Unum, or Ben, or any of the other survivors. We aren't as strong as them, with the strength they acquired, we’re only able to scrape their shins. We’re just… kids.”

“Unacceptable!” Kira suddenly can into the scene. Hey left eye covered by a medical eyepatch. “Why are you all feeling sorry for yourselves!?”

“Kira!” they all rushed towards her to make sure she was alright.

“Why are you up? You should be resting.” Jenny said.

“How can I rest with all of this noise?” she countered. “Now, What's will all this quiter talk?”

“What are you saying? We were completely pummeled today and you're asking what's got us down?” Alex asked. “You lost an eye today!”

Kira suddenly looked serious. “Yeah I know. I can see that. So we walked away with a few more scars this time.”

“Kira people died today! Because we failed as Foretellers to protect them!” Lan said.

“Big Bro.” Kira looked at him with pleading eyes… well eye. “I know what happened, and now I have a permanent reminder of it.” She touched the eyepatch. “But we already know how losing feels. Remember how devastated we were when Crow beat us the first time? Yeah, we were beaten bad back then, but look at us now. If we didn't learn from them, we wouldn't have been able to touch that clone, let alone kill it. We learned back then… even when we failed we can get back up stronger!”

The words of their youngest sank deep within their hearts. She was the one who had lost the most in the battle, and yet she was the only one to keep up hope.

“And besides.” Kira started, but then flashed a airways piece sign across her eye patch. “Now I can look like Rikka from Chunibiyo!”

The room was silent, everyone, even Cript, looked at her with a dumbfounded look. Then, the room exploded in laughter.

“You know.” Cript said. “You wouldn’t even have started this journey if not for one old man named God, want help from another?” His worlds made the Foretellers ponder.

“What kind of help?” Alex said cautiously.

“Well, I can help you, but like with anything, there’s a catch.”

“And that would be?” Jenny asked.

“Blood.” Cript said, causing the Foretellers to look at him in shock, to which he burst into laughter. “Y-your faces!” He cried out while laughing. “Sorry, needed a light after that scene with the copy dying. There’s some nightmare fuel. Anyway, the only catch is that you have to join my family, certain… things, some power boosts, neat powers, endless siblings and mothers. That’s a long story in itself as to why, but yeah.”

They looked at him suspiciously. “You’re just offering us power? What would you gain from this?” Dan asked.

“For one, some new kids. Second… that’s it actually. I adopt a lot of kids, kinda the wives and I’s thing.”

“How do we know you’re not just crazy?” Jenny asked.

“Right, demonstration then?” Cript snapped his fingers. “Please look out your windows.” They slowly moved over to the nearest window, seeing… a large empty green field all around them. “More?” Cript asked.

“Nah, I think we’re good.” Alex said, dumbstruck.

“RIght then.” Cript snapped his fingers again, the window scene flashing and the normal yard of the Foretellers world was outside again. “So, anything you’d like to know?”

“Why us?” Lan asked. “I know you saved us an all, and we’re grateful. But what makes you think we’re worthy of your power? You saw the fight yourself.”

“FIrst off, because why not? Secondly, Your friend Ben is already adopted in, and that Zeke guy is thinking ot over/put himself on a time limit.”

“Ben and Zeke Huh? Never thought they would accept.” Alex said.

“Ben won’t accept the full powers of being in my family til after he completes some training and does a test for one of my family only owned Humanity Blades. Zeke hasn't said yes unless he can either match Core in a fight, or if he still can’t by his kids first birthday.” Cript clarified.

The Five of them exchanged looks, as if having an entire conversation between them, then they all nodded.

“I guess we’ll be following Ben’s lead.” Lan said “We don’t want to accept this power just because you’re handing it to us. We want to earn it first. Let’s hold off, at least until we can prove out strength.”

“Fair enough.” Cript said. “Oh, and some physical changes may occur depending on the mom you get, I’m kinda cursed that any kid adopted in is biologically mine, and one of my wives.”

“So we’ll be genetically related to you and each other? As well as whoever we get as a mother?” Kira asked.

“Yes.”

“Freaky, but interesting.” Alex said. “But I think I speak for all of us when I say none of us will be calling you Dad anytime soon.”

“Ben said the same thing, just take your time, I regrettable have shit to do so I’m not always around.” Cript held out his hand. “So, welcome to the family?”

Lan stepped forward, noticing the odd device on Cript’s wrist. He shook off his curiosity, grabbing Cript’s hand and shook it. SUddenly, the Foretellers all felt… different.

“Oh wow.” Cript said.

“What?”

“Well, for starters your new mother is Equine, the ears say it all.”

Curiously, they reached up to the top of their heads, and felt… an extra pair of ears!? Pony ears to be exact.

“Whoa!” Kira said, “This is so weird, but so cool too!” She said with glee.

“Is that all?” Dan asked.

“Check for tails?” Cript offered.

They all looked behind them, to see they all had tails. Kira’s was pink, Lan’s was crimson, Jenny’s was emerald green, Dan’s was navy, and Alex’s was bronze.

“A tail… oh dear. I can just hear Rainbow making fun of me now.” Dan groaned.

“I’m gonna see who your new mom is.” Cript said, looking at the device on his arm. “Also, this is called an Assistant, and if you all look you all also have one.”

To his words, they did see the same device on their wrists. “Fascinating.” Dan said tinkering with it. “What are its main functions?”

“Storage and combat. You can buy stuff though it too, if you have the money. Get’s internet pretty much anywhere and if you press into the manue the combat tab and press the view hud button to active you’ll see battle stats of those around you, hp, defence, things like that.” Cript said, looking at his Assistant still.

“Cool, it’s just like the games now. It has a health bar and everything.” Alex said scrolling through his own Assistant. “So what were you saying about checking who our mother is?”

“The list is long, hang on.” Cript said, frowning. “Ah, finally. Let’s see here, your mom is an anthro equine named… Oh… god…” Rather than tell, Cript counted from three on his fingers. Once Zero was hit, there was a knock at the Foretellers door.

“Who could that be?” Kira said walking towards the front door.

“I’d back away.” Cript said, Kira walking to the side as the Door exploded, revealing an anthro Fluttershy, dressed in all red, red glasses and with rather sharp looking teeth holding a massive rifle. “Meet your mom kids, Alushy.”

“Sup kiddies?” Alushy said.

They all just looked at her in complete shock. No one dared to say a word.

“I think you broke the kids hun?” Cript said as he walked over to her. The Foretellers now noticing she was rather pregnant.

“Oh please, it’s just an anti-tank rifle.” Alushy replied. “This is a kids toy.”

Kira then mustered up enough courage to walk up to her and introduce herself.

“H-h-hello. I’m Kira, and I guess I’m one of your new daughters?”

Alushy pet Kira’s head. “Pleasure to meet you.” She then handed Kira the Anti-tank rifle, to which Kira fell over once it was in her grasp, the weight being too much for her. “Go blow up some trees with it.”

Next up was Lan. “Hello Alushy. I’m Lan, Kira’s older brother. It’s nice to meet you. The others are Jenny, Dan, and Alex.” The others waved over to them.

“First off, call me mom, second, nice to meet you.” She said with a smile. “Also, hun, I was… kinda followed.”

Cript looked outside, seeing several figures standing outside. “Who did you piss off now?” He asked.

“Some demon cult.” She replied.

“Oh, the usual?”

“Yup.” Alushy said, pulling out a rather large, larger than Josh’s was, handgun. “So, should I show off to the kids?”

“Just be wary of your packages.”

“I’m pregnant, I know that.”

“W-wait!” Kira said. “What’s going on here?”

“Your mom is a vampire that hunts down other vampires and demons.” Cript answered. “Those guys out there are likely demons too.”

“Vampire? As in blood sucking, night crawling, bat monsters?” Alex asked.

“I’m not just any vampire.” Alushy said, loading her gun. “I’m THE fuck mothering vampire.” She said, walking outside. “So what you pricks want on your tombstone?” She said o the demons, who said nothing. “Meh, your choice.” SHe unleashed fire, the gunshot likely being heard from the next town over. One of the demons dodged while the other was struck in the head and heart. The one that dodged the Foretellers new mom summoned some kinda red inky stuff from her body, it chasing the demon and striking it down then slamming it against the ground. “Too easy nowadays.” WIth that, she walked back inside. “So, tell me about yourselves?”

“Um… well where do we start?” Jenny asked. “The Five of us were just a band of ragtag misfits who found each other in our old world. We’ve been tight as family ever since, even more so when we started this adventure.”

“Oh, good. Well I guess you were a family before but now it’’s by blood.” She said with a warm smile.

Alex thought of something, then elbowed Lan. “Uh, Lan?”

“What is it?”

“Isn’t one of your girlfriends technically our mom also?”

“... Oh god.” Lan face palmed. “Thanks for that image dude!”

“Relax, genetically Alushy here is the opposite of human in every way, plus, even without the full demigod powers,... as demigods anyway… incest has no genetic handicaps…” Cript said, facepalming. “I hate explaining that…”

“Well, at least I know you have good tastes.” Alushy said to her new son. Which made Lan blush and shrink away. From then on they all engaged in small talk, talking about interests, past experiences, ect. The talk would have continued, were it not for another knock on the door.

“Please don’t tell me we have another mother.” Dan said.

Cript opened the door, to the human main five and Sunset ran in. “We heard massive gunshots!” Sunset said, spotting Alushy. “... Uhhh.”

“Hey girls?” Lan said carefully. “What are you all doing here?”

“We heard the gunshots.” Applejack said. “After what happen in town we got worried.” She then, along with the others, noticed the changes to the Foretellers. “Uh, y’all cosplay’in?”

“Nope! These are all natural!” Kira said swishing her tail from side to side.

“And what’s up with the red… pony me?” Fluttershy asked. “If… it’s alright to ask.”

“Girl’s, meet our new mother, Alushy.” Alex said. “She’s a vampire, and an Equine. Which means we are too, well part anyway.”

“So Lan is dating his mom?” Pinkie asked. Red covered Lan and Fluttershy’s faces while Alushy laughed.

“UHh! I should have let Josh kill me.” Lan muttered.

“I-I-I-I D-didn’t know y-you were into that L-Lan.” Fluttershy said.

“NO! No! I am not.” Lan said pulling ‘his’ Fluttershy into a hug. “This is my Fluttershy! Alushy is my adoptive/now biological mother! They are two different people!” He shouted, almost as if trying to convince himself.

“So who’s the brown haired guy that looks like that guy from the fall formal thing?” Rainbow asked, pointing at Cript.

“This is Cript, a god, and now apparently our adoptive/now genetic dad.” Jenny explained.

“Then I have to ask.” Pinkie said, walking up to Cript and whispering something to him.

“Oh...OH...OOOHHH… Yeah go ahead.”

Pinkie cheered, quickly tackling Alex and dragging him off. “C'mon, I wanna see you in all your new features.” Pinkie said, Alex a mix of happy and confused.

As the two left the room, the others looked in confusion. “Um… new features? Is there more than our tails and ears?” Dan asked.

“Well, Speed, some strength, general defence, you can learn to do what your mom did with the inky red stuff, and endurance. So if you already have a sex life, it’s only gonna get better.” Cript said.

At that moment, Lan’s girls started eyeing him with bedroom eyes, as well as Rainbow with Dan, as the two males inched away.

“Unless you want to become parents fast I recommend using like, three condoms.” Cript said. “Let’s just say… your mother here isn’t pregnant for nothing.”

“Demigod… whe conceived, take a day to grow and can be born either that same day, or the next.” Alushy said. “Plus yous… sperm and eggs are as fertile as, well, your dad and I. FYI, I look nine months pregnant, but that’s because of something the other wives and I did. We look like we have one baby in here, we got like, a billion in our wombs. Little something to think about given as demigods, you and your partners can adjust how many babies you have at at time.”

“Alright, we will be careful, as to none of us are ready to be parents yet.” Dan said

“Might wanna warn Alex and Pinkie of that.” Cript said, pointing to upstairs.

“I'm sure Pinkie already knows. She does that all the time some how.” Sunset said. “So you're a vampire? Does that mean the others are too?”

“Part, yes.” Alushy said. “They have all the powers I have, though they’ll have to learn it too, not to mention they also now have prolong lifespans, a healing factor that, at your experience, should heal most normally fatal wounds fast.” She looked over at Kira. “And I’m sorry sweety, but you can regrow what you lost before you got the powers.”

“Thats alright, its gonna take awhile getting used to but I've come to accept it.” She smiled.

“So you're all vampires now, sounds like you got a major upgrade.” Rainbow said.

“We only accepted part of the deal. We want to prove ourselves before we accept the full deal and his power.” Dan explained.

“Well, we should be heading home I think.” Cript said, looking for an empty space of wall, after finding one, he tapped it as a door grew into the wall. “This door will lead to the family home, warning, it’s massive.”

“I guess we should be going.” Alushy said, getting up. “I’ll be sure to visit some time soon.”

With that, Cript and Alushy walked through the door, closing it as they left.

The four remaining foretellers let out a collective deep sigh.

“Well that was certainly interesting.” Lan said.

“Indeed.” Dan agreed as he felt his new ears And gazed at his tail. “Hopefully I can find an illusionary spell so we can hide these.

“Holy hell!” Rainbow said, holding the anti-tank rifle. “Where in the heck did you get this?!”

“Mom gave it to me.” Kira said.

“Is it loaded?” Rainbow got her answer when the touched the trigger, a shot breaking through the back door and hitting the trees in the backyard, knocking down five trees and creating a small fire. As for Rainbow, the recoil knocked her clear across the room and into the nearby wall. “Ow. Nevermind.”

“Well, that happend, why don't we all call it a day?” Lan said, until suddenly, four pairs of arms snaked their way around his body and started to drag him towards the stairs. “Ah! Wait, girls, what are you doing?”

“We wanted to… test what your mother was saying about you're new “Features” darling.” Rarity said.

Lan didn't have anything to say in protest but looked towards his siblings for help. But all he saw was Jenny and Kira staring blankly at him, and Dan being taken to who knows where by Rainbow Dash.

That left the fox and the bear alone in the common area.

“So… you wanna watch a movie?”

“I'll get the popcorn.” Jenny said, walking into the kitchen. “Maybe I should find a boyfriend?”

Kira gave her a sly smirk, “He might be closer than you think.”

Author's Note

What is up everybody!?

I hope you enjoyed this chapter of Foretellers, it burned a big hole in my heart to write how Kira ended up, but it'll heal while she does too. And Cript got involved, if you keep up with us Broken Barrier writers you know who he is. And now they are sexy vampires! And shout out to BioQuillFiction for playing Ava, Josh, Cript, and Alushy for this.

And let me just say, I'm not pairing my oc's with each other if that was what you were thinking. They are basically family.

Like, Fav, Follow and all that stuff!

Calm

“What the hell were you thinking?!” Crow shouted towards Dark Ava.

“What are you talking about?” Ava said with disinterest.

“The Master said I would be the one to take care of those damn Foretellers. Why were YOU there!? I’m supposed to be the only one to mess with them!”

“I wanted to see how strong the ghosts of the former Foretellers were, and Core sent one of the Josh clones with me just incase.”

“Why would the Master say that? He promised me that I would be the one to end them. And what was that you did with Kira’s eye?!”

“Why are you so angry?” She said suspiciously. “Don’t tell me you actually still care about them.”

Crow faltered for a second, before regaining his heated composure. “Hell no! I just wanted to be the one to take the brats eye.” With that, he stomped away. As he did, Ava eyed him suspiciously through her mask.

“I’m gonna have to keep an eye on him.”

(Canterlot High)

(Lan’s P.O.V)

Report 4:

It’s been a few days after the incident with Josh Ventral and Ava. It’s been rough since then. For all those who were killed by Josh Ventral, we had a funeral for all of them. Even for those whose bodies were taken by him.

The five of us had to go to each of their families to explain what happen, it was agonizing to see them devastated that one of their family was killed. Some of the families were understanding, saying that it wasn’t our fault that some maniac came around and started killing. But most of them responded negatively. Their judgment wasn’t clouded enough by their anger to fully blame us for their deaths, but they did resent us for not being strong enough to protect them.

But regardless, all we could do was apologize for their loss.

Our Unions were affected as well. A lot of them were scared, but that's a given. For now we have postponed training until further notice, for their sake and for ours. But that didn’t mean that we stopped training. The five of us were more determined than ever to get stronger, to get justice for the Union Members we had lost.

But for now, we decided to take this day for some R&R, before our next big mission. At the moment, I’m spending some time with my girlfriends.

(End Report)

“You done yet Lan?” Sunset said. At the moment, the two of us were in the mansion’s kitchen packing a picnic basket. While Sunset was putting her own touch on the food, I decided to write a quick report. Hey, I need to record our adventures, plus Sunset was taking her time.

“Yeah, just got finished.” I closed my laptop. “We should hurry, we shouldn’t keep the other girls waiting.”

(Jenny’s P.O.V)

Hm, well nothing around here. Damn, the one time when I actually want an enemy to appear.

I was walking through the city for most of the day. Looking out for any Unversed, Heartless, anything really. I know we agreed to take it easy for today, but that’s a little hard to do at the moment. Just too many things going on. And it doesn’t help that the damn sun is irritating me now!

Mom did say it would take awhile for us to get used to the sun again. The five of us are part vampire now, but since we are mom’s kids we have a resistant to the sun most vampires don’t. But we are still sensitive to sunlight, thank god we aren’t pale AF like those Twilight posers.

It’s been days since we got our asses handed to us by Dark Ava and Josh. Still can’t believe how much stronger than us they were. Usually I would be excited about a new stronger enemy, to test my limits against. But this time, the outcome was less than ideal. Members of our Unions lost their lives, and we have to deal with that. We failed to protect them.

All the more reason we have to get stronger, to avenge our Unions.

But for now, I guess I should take the others leads and unwind before our next mission.

“Jenny!” I heard someone call out from behind. I turn to see one of my Advanced students. He was a boy around my age, he had short blue hair that was spiked up. He wore a black jacked with a red and white stripe running horizontally, a t-shirt with a navy shield with a lightning bolt in the middle, blue jeans, and sneakers. This was Flash Sentry, and he was part of my Union.

“Hey Flash, hows it goin?” I asked.

“H-hey, doing good. How about you?” He stuttered. Hm, weird.

“Just patrolling around town. Everythings clear for now. What about you?”

“O-oh, just uh...just...walking.” He says sheepishly. “Oh! A-actually...do you...want to go out and...get some coffee?” He asks nervously, the normally calm teen acting like a nervous child.

I smirked. “You asking me out, Pretty Boy?”

“Wh-wh-wh-what!?” He stutters, his face turning beat red at hearing that. “N-n-n-no, just uh...two friends going out...and getting coffee. It’s n-not that out there r-right?” He asks, trying to calm himself down and failing horribly.

I laughed a bit, “Calm down dude. I’m just messing with you. So, coffee right? Let’s go, and since you invited me, you’re paying.” I wrapped my arm around his shoulder and dragged him along.

“S-sure.” He says, trying to keep up with Jenny and not be dragged along.

I’m not Lan, I can tell that Flash has a crush on me. Which I don’t mind. Sure he is a member of my Union, but outside training we’re still teenagers. And it’s kind of refreshing, he knows I’m much stronger than him and he’s still into me. Plus he’s kind of cute.

I would ask him out, but right now isn’t the time. I’m fine with moments like this, for now.

(Dan’s P.O.V)

*Sigh*

FInally, a chance to relax.

The last few days have been tough for us. Between dealing with the deaths of our Unions and figuring out how to calm the rest of them, we haven't had any time to ourselves. But at least we have a chance to recollect ourselves. Now I get to do what I do best, research.

Mother came back to visit a few days ago, and gave me books that detailed our new vampire origin. How to use our powers, how the powers affect our bodies, etc. I hard to believe that we’re part equin, part vampire now. Good thing I found an illusion spell so we can still appear human in public.

At the moment, I was at the library. Which is about the only place I can ever get things done. When I’m at home my siblings are always dragging me around in their own shenanigans.

I’m reading one of the books Mother gave to us about our vampire powers. It’s rather interesting, even though we’re vampires we don’t particularly need to drink blood. We are still able to eat normal food, but can substitute our cravings for blood with things like tomato juice. Blood is only used if we want to use our vampire powers to their fullest. Without it, we can only use them at their most basic form.

Before I could read any further, my book suddenly tilted forward. I was suddenly staring into the dark magenta eyes of my girlfriend, Rainbow Dash. She was leaning on the table in front of me giving a nice view of her generous cleavage, and smiled alluringly at me.

“Hey babe. How’s it going?” She said in a hushed tone, clearly cause we were in a library.

“Nothing much, just doing some research. How did you know I was here?” I asked.

She rolled her eyes. “You’re always here.You’re either here, at home, or spending time with me. So, it wasn’t hard to find you.” She spin around the table and landed on my lap. “So, what is it this time?”

*Sigh*

I sighed in content.

I’m still surprised that we actually started dating. A few months ago the two of us were still just friends, challenging each other, calling each other names. But after certain events, we ended up confessing to each other.

Back then I didn’t understand the feelings I had for Rainbow. Even though how we acted towards each other back them, i didn’t know that strange feeling I had around her was love.

The event that sparked this was technically our first day. There was some sort of lottery going on in local mall and the winner got two tickets to the up and coming Daring Doo movie, which had been sold out the second tickets went on sale. Because the actor for Daring Doo was going to be there in person for the premier.

I had just been there by chance and bought a lottery ticket just because I was curious. There I ran into Rainbow who had just about a dozen tickets in her hands. Apparently she was a very big fan of the books and the movies. I’ve read the books, which were pretty interesting.

So, like some fanfiction coincidence, I had the ticket they had called out. Then and there, Rainbow had practically begged me to take her with me to the movie so she could meet the actor. So I accepted. One thing lead to another, and here we are. I’ll probably tell the full story later, but there is a summary.

Together as a couple. As smart as I an, I could have never predicted our relationship to turn out like this.

(With Alex)

(Third Person P.O.V)

Outside Alex’s room in the Foreteller Mansion.

*BANG! BANG!* *BOING! BOING!*

“Ohh~”

… enough said.

(Kira’s P.O.V)

It had been a long day and I finally got to my last student, a young guy named Pipsqueak who had his true Keyblade finally. As for how he finally got it I had no clue, he had been busting his butt for days now just trying to get up to the higher class. He stood across from me his new Keyblade ready.

I know the others said we should take some R&R, but some of our Union members used the incident to drive them to become stronger. So they could protect each other from the likes of Josh Ventral. I knew I had to get stronger as well, this eye is a blaring reminder of that.

“Well Pip. Let’s begin. I’ve heard you’ve been training hard for a while now, let’s see if it shows.” I said.

I pulled out mine and we bowed to each other. It was a bit of a rapport we worked whenever we faced each other. I calmly kept my keyblade to my side while he charged at me. As he got within three steps I let a circle of fire spring up causing him to veer off before he could be hit. While I never fully got to fight like this because Unversed were a bit cheap, against human opponents it was a bit easier to control their movements.

I raised my blade and fired off a volley of ice taking strides to circle Pipsqueak, always keeping him on his toes. He countered with a volley of lighting forcing me to roll out at the last second. I took a chance on a feint pretending to fall over. I did know people sometimes treat me as an overly cute mascot so I would take that into my advantage. As he stepped forward to stop me from falling I spun around and hit him with a stop spell.

“You shouldn’t worry about your opponent. Right now I am not your friend or teacher. I’m your enemy. And a real enemy would take any chance to end your life.”

“I-I’m sorry...you were falling over and…” He says worriedly. “I...didn’t want to see that happen…” His face turned a bit red. Hm, he must be hot.

I smiled a bit before turning serious again. “That’s very sweet of you, but we’re sparring now. I thought you were going to show me the fruits of your hard work. Was all of that just talk?”

“Y-yes ma’am.” He nods, getting up quickly and getting back into his fighting position. “I won’t let you down...not now or ever.” He says.

I took a couple steps back. I didn’t really finish him off for the round because it was only a sparring round. When he decided to strike I instantly let a sphere of gravity fly from the tip of the keyblade to the spot he was standing on. He dived out of the way while I released another volley alternating between lightning and gravity spheres. He was determined at least since only a few stray bolts had hit him. He regained his footing appearing a bit…overcharged from the strikes making me chuckle a bit. He looked a bit goofy with his hair spiked up like that.

Determined as he was I kept up my assault firing off fire spells to counter his which surprisingly were of comparable strength. Whenever he used the explosions as cover we would end up locking blades with each other. Then I would bring up an aero spell which knocked him away and kept giving him the windswept looks I usually saw on certain mother’s shelves… you know the one where the guy looks like they’ve been to the gym too much. Anyways, I kept up the barrage of spells eventually catching him in a gravity spell and watching him hit the ground… not hard… but the indent he left in the ground would tell a different story.

He still managed to get up and charged at me again but we had been going for a long time already. So it was time to bring the spar to an end. As he stepped in closer I locked keyblades with him and with a few new applications of my new strength I swept him to the floor and pinned him down.

“I’m impressed Pip, you really have gotten stronger.” I smiled.

“All for you.” He says, before he blushes brightly at saying that. “S-sorry…”

I got up and held out a hand to him, and pulled him up with me. “Of course. I am your Keyblade Master after all. Your actions reflect my teachings, so I wouldn’t want you to suck.” I said jokingly.

“You don’t suck!” Pipsqueak said sternly. “Even if I was terrible, you would still be the most amazing person I’ve ever known. Strong and smart, pretty yet tough, and all those things make sure you do not ‘suck’ in anyway shape or form.” He explains with a frown.

I recoiled a bit, and a slight blush covered my cheeks. Wow, he really has a high opinion of me. I must be a really great Master! I smiled brightly and patted his head.

“Thanks for saying that! I really appreciate it.” I said sincerely.

“O-oh! Th-thank you.” He stutters a little with a smile, his face still completely red as he scratched the back of his head.

Suddenly…

*Growl!*

My stomach growled very loud.

…That’s embarrassing.

“Well, looks like I’m hungry.” I said scratching the back of my head. “How about we head to the Cake’s shop? To congratulate you in doing well in our spar?”

“S-sure!” He says with a warm smile...only to have his stomach growl very loud as well. “U-uh...sorry…” He says sheepishly.

With that, the two of us left for the Cake’s shop.

(Third Person P.O.V)

All five Foretellers had gathered in the courtyard of the Mansion, all donned in their masks and robes.

“Alright everyone.” Ira started. “This is it, we’re entering the dreamscape.”

“Well, we had to do this sooner or later. Just wish it didn’t take Josh Ventral attacking to push us this far.” Gula said with a sigh.

“Why do you think we’re doing this dumb ass? We need our full powers so we have a chance of standing up to a guy like that.” Aced said sarcastically.

“C’mon guys. Let’s not fight. This is our first time in the Dreamscape, so let’s all try and get through it together.” Ava calmed them.

Invi clapped to get their attention. “Everyone focus. From the tomes Master Luxu gave us, we need to use our Keyblades in sync to open the portal. Our keyblades will lead us to the sleeping form of the World That Never Was. We only have one shot at the trial, so we can’t fool around.”

The others nodded, understanding the circumstances of their mission.

Ira summoned his Keyblade. “Ready?”

They said nothing and just summoned their Keyblades. Raising them all slowly in the air, the beams of light shot out of the tips. The beams met and cracked the sky, making a rift open. Without hesitation, they summoned their keybeasts, mounted them, and rode off into the rift.

Take it easy guys, gals, and non-binary pals!

Peace Out!

The Moment of War

(Lan’s P.O.V)

I slowly open my eyes as I started to wake up. When did I fall asleep?

I lifted my head from the table I was apparently sleeping on and gazed at my surroundings. I was in the meeting room in Foreteller Tower. It looked the same as we last visited, scattered books, messy papers and all.

I stood up, and saw that I was still in my mask and robes.

“How did I get here?” I thought as I tried to remember.

(Flashback Start: Third Person P.O.V)

The five Foretellers had just launched into the portal of the dream realm. They were speeding through some sort of tunnel through space, and they let their Key-beasts take the lead. Eventually, they had found the dream of The World That Never Was.

“We’re closing in, but where are we supposed to go?” Jenny asked the others.

Before anybody could answer, all their key-beasts roared and sped towards the very top of the tower. They landed on the platform and dispelled their key-beasts.

“So, this is The World That Never Was?” Alex said looking at the surroundings, then turned his attention to the heart shaped moon in the sky. “That may not be the real Kingdom Hearts, but it’s still nice to look at.”

“So we’re here. Now what comes next?” Kira asked. On cue, their keyblades started glowing. Suddenly, a large door appeared a few feet away from the platform they were standing on, along with a transparent walk way.

On instinct, they all raised their Keyblades and shot beams of light towards the door, and the door slowly opened a crack.

“Well, I’m guessing our answers are gonna be through there.” Dan said sarcastically.

“Alright everyone, this is it. Once we go through that door, we’re going to be thrown into the Keyblade War. Are you ready?” Lan said, with the others nodding in agreement.

With that, they all walked through the door. The moment they were through, the door closed shut.

(Flashback End)

(Lan’s P.O.V)

And that’s when everything went dark.

But why am I alone? We all went through together, so we should still be. Maybe it’s part of the test.

“Master Ira!” Someone called out. I turn to see a group of of young men and women around my age.

They must be members of the old Unicornis Union. “Yes?:

“We came to give you an update of the upcoming battle.” One of the girls said.

“From what we observed from the agreed battle field, the other Union members are gathering there. The battle with commence in one hour.” The leader said.

“We are about to head off there ourselves. We’ll show those traitors which Union reigns supreme.” They cheered.

This must be just before the war starts. I better not raise suspicion. “Good, you are all dismissed.” They all nodded and walked away. Although, one of them stayed behind, a girl not much younger than I am. Suddenly, it felt like some information just appeared in my mind, this girls name was Serena. Master Ira’s prized disciple. These must be his memories.

“Master Ira, I know that you weren’t the traitor. No matter what the other Union Members say I, as well as the other members of the Unicornis Union, know that you wouldn’t abandon the master teachings.” She said sincerely.

If only she know the truth, and the fate of her and many others this day.

One hour until the war begins. That’s the best chance we have in finding this simulations Luxu. I just hope that the others know this too.

Might as well look around Daybreak Town, before it’s overcome by ruin.

(Kira’s P.O.V)

The moment I woke up I was standing on the edge of a cliff, in a field of Dandelions. I still had my robes on and Vulpus was still in my hands.

“Master Ava.” A voice said. I turned around, and saw a large group of young men and women standing along with me in the field. The one who spoke up was a boy with messy silver hair. I remember this guy from the movie, his name is Ephemer.

“Yes?” I said. He stood beside me and looked over the cliff. When I looked, I saw a 5 large groups of what I assumed to be the Unions all standing divided. He looked sadden as he gazed down at them.

“I wish it didn’t have to come to this.” He said solemnly. “They are all ready to start a war, and for what?”

“They are fighting for what they believe in.” another keybearer walked up, a girl this time. She had long black hair and a punkish look about her. A sudden memory flashed in my mind, one that I didn’t recognize. This girls name was Skuld? “We can’t fault them for that. No matter how misguided they are. Even most of the Vulpus Union decided to stand and fight.”

She was right. None of them wanted a war, they were just following their Master’s leads. They are all loyal to their Unions, so much so that they would follow them to the bitter end. And this war would be their end.

I turn to face the Dandelions. “It would be best you all leave now. There is no need for any of you to see any of the horrors that will take place this day.” I said, trying to sound like Ava.

“What about you Master?” Skuld asked.

“Don’t worry about me. My role was to gather all of you.” I turned to face all of them. “Scatter to the wind my Dandelions. Keep the light alive.”

With that they left, as I continued to gaze at the Unions. They didn’t deserve this, none of them deserve to pay for their masters ignorance.

(Jenny’s P.O.V)

I guess this is how it’s going to start. I woke up standing in the Town Square of Daybreak Town.

This isn’t what I expected, to be honest I thought I would be thrust into battle. But at least I have time to find the others now.

“Master Aced!” Someone called out to me. I turn to see a woman a bit older than I am. She had long, blonde hair with green eyes. Somehow I remember her name as Marinette.

“Hello Marinette. How are you?” I asked casually.

“I’m doing well Master.” She said. Looks like they still perceive me as the original Aced, since she didn’t notice my voice. “The rest of the Union is gathering at the battlefield.”

I can’t seem suspicious, and I probably can’t try and change events cause this is just a simulation. Might as well just roll with it.

“Good, you should head there yourself. Prepare for the worst, as it might be a rough battle ahead.” I said.

She nodded and began to walk away, but not before facing me one last time. “Master, I know that you broke of from the Master of Masters teachings, but none of us blame you for that. You did what you had to do to try and find the traitor. Anyone would have done the same. We, as your disciples, know that you are not the traitor. We have faith that you will lead us to victory.” With that, she left.

Damn it.

She has no idea, none of them do. There was no traitor but our predecessors were to blind to see that. And their blindness is what costs their Unions to die. They didn’t deserve this.

Well, no use dwelling on it now. I should probably find the others.

(Alex’s P.O.V)

*Pant! Pant!*

Well, that wasn’t a pleasant way to wake up. The moment I woke up I was standing on a ledge of one of the various buildings in Daybreak. I almost fell off when I freaked out, but managed to pull myself back to the edge.

Was Gula trying to kill himself? Probably not, trying to be nostalgic I guess.

“Master Gula.” I turned around to see someone suddenly appearing in a flash of speed. It was an older guy, about twenty-four. He had brown hair with matching eyes, and a rugged looking face. Hm… his name was Krux. Not sure how I know that, but I’ll probably find out later.

“Krux, what are you doing here?” I asked.

“Just checking in before we go to war.” He said cooly. “Almost every member of all the Unions are there. Save for those cowardly dandelions.” He spat as he said it.

“Now, now, they chose not to participate in the battle. There is no shame in that.”

“But some of them were from the Leopardus Union! They chose to run away and not stand by your side Master!” He said angrily. “Some of the other Unions say that you were the traitor, just because of how you went about trying to find the traitor. You were only following the role the Master of Masters bestowed upon you. Us Leopardus don’t believe you were the traitor. Our faith in you shall never waver.”

Was this really how Gula’s Union felt? How they all felt? Having so much faith in those they were loyal to that they would follow them to hell? I guess in a way that is a blessing, to have subordinate to stand by them no matter what. But the original Foretellers screwed up, and that resulted in their loyal followers being killed in the process.

“Calm down Krux. I understand your frustration, but there's nothing we can do about it now. Only prepare for what’s to come.” I said.

Krux relaxed a bit and took a deep breath. “Forgive my outburst Master. I’ll be on my way then. See you on the Battlefield.” He swiftly leaped away.

I can already tell, this wasn’t going to be easy.

(Dan’s P.O.V)

Waking up in a library, not as bad as one would think.

I awoke in a large Library, and considering I see Foreteller tower through the window I’m guessing this is a simulation of Daybreak town. I guess this is moments before the war happens. What am I supposed to be seeing right now? I suddenly felt someone approaching.

“Master Invi.” A soft voice called out. Suddenly, someone dropped from the ceiling, a woman. She was in her early twenties. She had short black hair with silver eyes, wearing some sort of shinobi like attire. A certain name appeared in my mind, Tomoe. She was one of the most skilled disciples of the original Invi.

“Nice work Tomoe. I almost didn’t sense your presents.” I said, hopefully how Invi would respond.

“Thank you Master. I try my best.” She said with a small smile. “I was checking in, to see if the strategy for the battle is finished.”

That must be what Invi was working on when she was here. I plucked the scroll from the table and handed it to her. “Yes, here. I trust that you will make use of this, even in my absence.”

She bowed, “I will Master. I’m sure that this will give us the edge in the battle. Just as how you taught us.” her face turned serious. “Master. There are accusations that you were the traitor, but we know that you wouldn’t do such a thing. Your role from the Master of Masters was to observe the other Union Masters. To accuse you of such a thing because you were not directly in the conflict between them. We have the utmost faith in you.” She said before fading into shadows.

Foolish. The Original Foretellers were absolutely foolish. They had such strong, loyal followers and they let them die because of their mistakes.

The five of us, we shall never make those mistakes. The conflicts between us shall stay between us, not our Unions. Their lives are innocent.

(Third Person P.O.V)

Ira was walking through Daybreak town. Taking in the scenery before it would be destroyed by the war, and trying to find the rest of the Foretellers.

Suddenly, he saw Gula jump from rooftop to rooftop.

Ira quickly followed behind and jumped onto the rooftops with him. Once he got close enough, he called out to Gula.

“Alex!” He yelled, making him stop.

“Lan! Good to see you.” Gula said, taking off his mask. Lan doing the same.

“Have you seen the others?”

“Why don’t you look behind you?” Aced suddenly appeared, before taking off her mask. “It took me awhile to get here. Couldn’t help but look around in nostalgia with Aced’s memories flooding into my mind.”

“Agreed.” Invi suddenly appeared out of the shadows, also taking off his mask. “These memories are making it difficult to not be emotional.”

Alex sighed, “Oh good, I’m not the only one. I thought I was going crazy.”

“So, what have we learned so far?” Lan said catching their attention. Suddenly, they all looked sad.

“I had a run in with one of my Union members.” Alex said. “He was what someone would think. Kind of like a soldier. But, he told me how the Leopardus viewed Gula. Not believing he was the traitor.”

“Same.” Jenny said.

“Indeed.” Dan said.

“It looks like wa all had a similar encounter. Is this the simulation trying to show us something?’ Lan wondered out loud.

“Everyone!” They all saw Kira leaping towards them. “I’m glad you’re all okay.”

“We’re happy to see you too Kira.” Jenny said patting her head.

Even though she was clearly enjoying it she pushed the had away. “Listen everyone. I saw something before I got here.”

“What was it?” Dan asked.

*Boom!*

The loud boom echoed through the town. In the distance, they could see smoke climbing up to the clouds.

Kira frowned.

“The war has started.”

The five of them, all wearing their masks and robes, arrived in the middle of the battlefield. They were horrified on what they saw.

As they trudged through the town they watched as Keyblade clashed against keyblade. Then those keyblades stopped clashing against metal and struck through flesh. The Leopardus were the ones at the forefront as they fought the Unicornis. The tallest of the soldiers used their keyblade like a spear stabbing it through the shortest. Another swing flew and took off the jaw of one of the Unicornis soldiers who fell to the ground clutching at their wounds. They stopped moving when the blade went straight through his back silencing him.

No matter what the other Union Members say I, as well as the other members of the Unicornis Union, know that you wouldn’t abandon the master teachings.

The blood of the innocent paved the way through the town. Ideals were fought and lost through blood and steel. Another had the blade shoved through their head. Another lost a limb flailing around shouting out to the glory of their union. Then another union came in firing magic. Fires burned turning bodies to ashes and gore. Ice speared through others turning them to shish kabobs. Lightning left charred skeletons behind. Then the youngest did worse allowing the keys teeth slice through stomachs and watching their enemies writhe in pain. Another Union charged in and even the healers lost themselves to the madness.

Our faith in you shall never waver.

Those healers no longer worked for the betterment of others as they unleashed the full fury of their blades firing beams of light from the tips of their blades to stun their foes. Then they took their time to shove the blade through their necks.

I wish it didn’t have to come to this.

They are fighting for what they believe in

There are accusations that you were the traitor, but we know that you wouldn’t do such a thing.

The screams grew louder as the violence got worse. What was supposed to be an honorable fight became a bloodbath and nothing in the street looked anything more than a red haze at this point. Strike raids flew out enhanced by gravity as the weakened were turned to paste. The ones out of the magic’s range the blade would strike out their eyes. The blinded ran into battle regardless and made sure to flail in the direction where they last saw their foes. Then they fell to a barrage of magic.

You did what you had to do to try and find the traitor. Anyone would have done the same. We, as your disciples, know that you are not the traitor.

Several of the younger ones fell to their knees and were ignored. Lost in their own madness they muttered over and over again wishing for their leader to be there. To end the madness but it never came. They were not shown mercy for long as those blinded by rage sliced their heads clear from their bodies just to add to their impressive kill count. There were no unions left. There was death.

The Foretellers stood there in horror. Lan gritted his teeth so hard that they turned into fangs. Jenny clutched her keyblade so hard her knuckles turned white. Alex had some tears flowing as he continued to look in sorrow. Dan fell to his knees in disbelief. Kira couldn’t take it, she fell to her knees weeping in how many lives were being taken.

“This isn’t right.” Lan said in an angry whisper.

“All of them are out to kill. Their hearts aren’t even leaving their bodies. This… is just a slaughter.” Dan said in disgust.

“None of the even know that none of the Masters were the traitor. They are all fighting because of a lie!” Alex slammed his fist on the ground.”

Kira couldn’t say anything, she just continued to weep in sorrow.

In that moment, the clouds started to separate slowly. Moonlight flooded the warzone, and it revealed Kingdom Hearts. During this, Lan spotted someone on a nearby cliff observing it all. In his hands was The Gazing Eye.

“Luxu.” Lan said. This caught the rest of the Foretellers attention. “Guys, we can’t stay here. We need to finish what we came here to do.”

The four of them nodded reluctantly as they began to move. But Kira took one last, long gaze at the war. Her brother placed his hand on her shoulder.

“There’s nothing we can do now Kira. This is something that has already happened, we can’t change anything. All we can do, is move on.” He said.

After one more moment, she turned and followed her siblings.

The five of them finally arrived on the cliff. They were just meters behind Luxu, who was just standing there, watching the war unfold. They all took one glance at each other, wordlessly agreeing that they were ready.

“Luxu!” Ira called out.

Luxu was on his knees, trembling. “I must not fight. I might not fight. I must not fight…” Luxu was crying.

They all approached cautiously. “Luxu?” Ava called out softly.

He looked up, startled as his good fell back. His eyes were green, his hair red, and a tattoo of a crown was on his left cheek. “G-guys?” He stuttered.

‘So that’s his real face.’ Lan thought.

“It’s okay Luxu. We’re here.” Aced said calmly.

“Y.. You.” Luxu looked back down at the ground. “Why are you here... Especially you Aced, figured you'd be blood soaked already.” Luxu said coldly.

Aced’s eyebrow twitched a bit. “Even I know when things have been taken too far Luxu.”

“Luxu, this war, it needs to end. We can't have anymore lives be taken, but we need masters box to do so.” Lan said.

Luxu was silent for a time. “How do you know what's in the box can end the war? How do you even know it's not mine?” Luxu asked as he looked up.

Invi stepped forward. “Even though you and the Master disappeared we knew somewhat what your role was. I never told you, but I saw you leave. Back then I didn't want to interfere because my role was to observe, but now I can't sit idly by.”

“The master have you that box right Luxu?” Ava asked. “The the Master wanted to preserve the light too. It must be something to end end this war, he's the one who predicted it, right?”

“Yes… but it's not to be opened unless a specific event transpires here. You all know it too.” Luxu said.

“And these aren’t those events!?” Aced a bit heated. “This war has to end Luxu! The light is expiring like the book said.”

“Yet when I gazed with the eye I saw the future still. Sad really. Gazing eye falls to such a dark wielder, but nothing can be done about that. The light will dim this day, even flicker, but it will still live on, without the demon in the box to end it.”

“But it doesn’t have to be that way Luxu. The world is beginning to split as we speak. With what is in the box, we can end the war now, and Daybreak will live on.” Ava pleaded.

“Please, this is our mistake, we only want to fix it. But we need the box.” Ira said desperately.

“I have already seen the future where I use what's in the Box to end the war… the war will end, and not even the light will survive the aftermath. Light, nor darkness will exist if it is used now.”

“You’re wrong Luxu!” Ira said with passion. “We may open the box, but it will not consume the light. We will be here to stop it, all six of us. The Master trained all of us to be the strongest, you know that when all of us unite we can do anything. The power in the box can help us end the war, but we will still be here to keep the light alive! Trust us, please!” ‘This has to work.’ Lan thought.

Luxu chuckled. “Ever the speech giver, huh Ira?”

Ira smiled. “I learned from the best.”

“Yeah…” Luxu said standing up and walking over to the box. “Monologues are your god given gift… except…” Luxu turned around fast, Firing off a Mega Flare at each of the Foretellers, they hit, and when the light faded and the Foretellers were tossed from the impacts they looked up, seeing Luxu with his hood back on. “Ira only monologues when addressing his Union, he’s a blunt talker that's straight to the point among friends.”

Ira grunted as he stood back up, taking his mask off while doing so. The others following his lead. “You’re future self told us you were gullible, guess he was wrong.”

“I know my family.” Luxu held Gazing Eye in one hand and summoned a Starlight in the other. “I first noticed something off when Aced was a whole foot shorter.”

“Well, I can’t exactly take that as an insult. I am a girl.” Jenny said.

“So If you have their Keyblades then… you killed them already…” Luxu’s tone was icy.

“No! That’s not it! They chose us.” Kira said.

“Spare me the lies. Those Keyblades were forged from parts of their souls, only they or a reincarnation of them could wield them.”

“Reincarnation? That doesn’t make sense. Than how are we able to wield them?” Dan asked outloud.

“The same way I am going to end you.” Luxu charged forward, at Kira. “Devour!” He shouted, his Keyblades cloaked in darkness.

“Protect!” Kira put up a barrier to stop his assault. “Please Luxu, we aren’t your enemies!”

“I am a coward, I will admit that, but I will not sit and cry when my family's murderers are right in front of me.” Lux jumped back, stabbing his Keyblades into the ground. “Gravity Break!” chunks of earth began to float, like kites in the sky as the Foretellers all tried to remain on top of the now floating rocks. “You will all die here.” Luxu spoke.

Jenny was the first to react, she thrusted herself towards a large chunk of earth and readied her Limit Break.

“Grand Impact!” Her keyblade glew and she struck the earth shattering it into pieces as they shot towards Luxu.

Luxu pointed a Keyblade at them. “Mirror.” The attack hit a barrier, then shot back at Kira.

Kira lifted her Keyblade and aimed it towards them, “Mega Flare!” A huge flame shot out taking out all of the projectiles.

Thinking fast, Alex used his speed to quickly charge at Luxu ready to strike. Once he got close he swung his Keyblade down, only to have it blocked by the Starlight. “Fun fact, Leopardus has a weak spot-” Luxu dropped Gazing Eye, tapping Alex’s Keyblade on the spot where the blade and the grip met. “-here.” It disbanded itself, Luxu grabbed Alex by the face and threw him off the side of the floating rock into the slaughter below.

Before he could hit the ground though, Jenny quickly raced to catch him. While they were both distracted Luxu as preparing another spell to finish them, but Dan suddenly appeared behind him.

“Blizzaga!” Dan cast the ice spell. It made contact with Luxu’s back making him launch forward. Without the focus the gravity spell ceased to work and the earth started to fall along with all of them.

The Foretellers managed to land safely, but Luxu being frozen landed in a creator of his own impacts making.

Luxu, who had broken out of the ice, leaped out of the crater and readied himself again. The Foretellers also readied themselves for another round of battle. Although, Kira didn’t she stepped forward cautiously with her keyblade lowered slightly. The others tried to call her back, but she motioned for them to stay behind.

“Please Luxu, listen to us. We aren’t your enemies. We came here because another you told us to come.” She pleaded.

“My reflections are all doing the same as I.”

“Not a reflection, the real you. This all happened eons ago. This is all just a memory. A dream. We came here because you have something that we need to help the real you.”

“What proof do you have that this is a memory?”

“The Gazing Eye may see the future but that’s all they are. Visions. You make them what they be by your actions? And by your inactions Luxu you have let this world die.”

Luxu was silent. “True… god… I’m no different from dad now…”

Kira walked closer to him. “This can all end now Luxu. We can set you free, just open the box.”

“Even so. Why would I trust you? Now or future?”

“Because you said yourself, that we remind you a lot of them, and you trusted them with your lives. You even trusted us with the information to come here. Isn’t that enough proof?”

“... True. Can I ask a question then?”

“Anything.”

“Am I an asshole in the future? I see that A LOT with the Gazing Eye.”

The others looked at each other in amusement before chuckling.

“A little, but you have a nice girl to help you out with that.” Kira said.

“Ah crap… Well. I guess it's time to end this slideshow.” Luxu says, walking over to the box. “Tell the future me, get bent.” With that, he kicked the box opened and everything went white.

When the light faded, they had all arrived in the Station of Awakening. The five of them were standing in the center of the platform that had all five of their Union symbols on it.

“Great, where are we now?” Jenny said.

“The Station of Awakening, but what for?” Dan asked. “We got Luxu to open the box. Shouldn’t we be back at Castle Oblivion?”

“Not quite yet.” A voice called out to them.

Out of nowhere, appeared five people who were wearing their masks and robes. The Five of them summoned their keyblades and readied themselves for battle.

“Who are all of you?” Lan asked harshly. None of them said anything, only held out their hands. Suddenly, their keyblades disappeared from the Five friends, and reappeared in the hands of those who wore their robes.

“W-what!? Our Keyblades!” Kira panicked a bit. “How did you summon them?”

The one wearing Ava’s robes spoke. “Because they were originally ours.”

It took a moment of thought, before they realized who they were.

“You are the Original Foretellers.” Lan said.

The Originals smiled before returning their keyblades to the five.

“At least you are all fast on the uptake.” Gula said sarcastically.

“But how? You all died in the war.” Dan asked them.

Invi stepped forward. “It’s simple really. Do you remember what the simulation of Luxu said about your keyblades?”

“He said that only you or reincarnations of you could only wield them. But that doesn’t make sense. God gave us these Keyblades, but if what Luxu said is true then we shouldn't be able to wield them. So why?”

The Foretellers rose their hands to their masks to take them off. When the masks fell and the robes disappeared, they were shocked at what they saw. For Lan, Kira, and Alex, Ira, Ava, and Gula were the spitting image of themselves, only looking older. About in their late twenties. For Jenny and Dan, Aced and Invi looked like older genderbent version of themselves. They were speechless, how couldn’t they be?

“But, that’s not possible.” Lan said. “We’re from earth, that was created by god’s imagination. How are we reincarnations of you?”

Ira spoke up this time. “When we all perished in the midst of the war and our hearts left out bodies, God came to us to give us another chance at life.”

“He told us everything leading up to the war.” Aced said. “To think, the man that took us in, trained us, made us what were were and helped us grow as powerful as we are, he betrayed us. What he did cost hundreds of thousands of lives, including ours.”

“But we couldn’t bring ourselves to hate him.” Ava said. “When God came to us, he said he could give us a chance at a normal life reincarnated in his world. But even though it was a tempting offer, we couldn’t bring ourselves to live ignorantly while the world outside Earth was still in danger.”

“So we made a deal with with God. That when the time came, he would chose our reincarnations along with whoever else he chose to leave Earth.” Invi said. “We wanted to continue our fight, even if we weren’t us anymore.”

“So it wasn’t a coincidence we were chosen, and it wasn’t because we were peaceful either.” Lan said as he walked up to Ira. “So, I guess I really was meant to be the leader.”

Ira smiled and placed his hand on Lan’s shoulder. “And a great leader you have become.”

Jenny and Aced stood across from each other with their arms crossed. They stared intensely at each other. This continued for a moment before Jenny smirked.

“Hm, I look good as a guy.” she said.

Aced matched her smirk. “It wouldn’t have been my first choice, but I’m glad my reincarnation turned out to be a strong independent woman.”

Kira and Ava both bowed to each other. “It’s nice to finally talk to you. We’ve all been watching over you all for a long time.” Ava said.

“Ditto! But I wish we could have meet under better circumstances.” Kira said with a smile.

Alex and Gula stared at each other for a moment before Gula huffed.

“To think, my reincarnation turned out to be such a pervert.” He said coldly.

“Hey!” Alex snapped. “I’m your reincarnation buddy, so you’re insulting yourself!”

Gula laughed, “Relax, I was just joking. I too have a healthy… respect for the female form and all it’s wonders.”

Alex couldn’t help but smile, and they both laughed together.

Off to the side, Dan and Invi looked at them with dead panned expressions.

“Hm, idiots.” They said in unison. The two of them looked at each other before smiling softly.

“Now. For the main reason why we’re here.” Ira said catching everyone's attention. “You all went through the simulation of the war to find the information about your full powers.”

The original Foretellers returned to their individual insignia on the platform.

“With the information we are about to give you, you will all become much stronger. You will be able to reach your full potential, and maybe even beyond. You will become the true Foretellers. Do you accept?” Lan said.

Without a moment of thought, the five of them nodded yes. In that moment, the Union symbols under the Original Foretellers started to glow as energy from them started to flow into their counterparts from the ground up. Their bodies started to glow faintly, until armor suddenly started to form around their bodies.

(Lan)

(Dan)

(Jenny)

(Kira)

.(Alex)

“About time, those robes are good and all, but they are more for formal stuff. This armor will do well in battle.” Jenny said stretching

Ira walked up to the now armored Lan with a large book in hand. “In this, is all the information you need about your powers, as well as your past memories as us. This will be all that you will need to know for the future.” He said, as he and the other Original Foretellers started to fade.

“What’s happening?” Kira said.

“Our time is up for now.” Ava said.

“Will we ever see you again?”

“We are you. We will always be watching over you. No matter what.”

As the fading became more erratic, Ira turned to all of them wanting to say one last thing.

“Remember this, the power of your dreams will be able to shape the future to come. When you all share a dream, it will become destiny.” With that, they faded.

*CRACK!*

Suddenly, the stained glass platform started to crack under them. Crack after crack started to form until it broke from underneath them.

Before any of them could even leat out a scream, everything faded to black.

Back at Castle Oblivion, the five Foretellers we laying on the platform they were on before they entered the simulation. They all started to regain consciousness and rise to their feet.

“Ah, we’re back.” Alex said stretching his limbs.

“Hey, where’s our armor?” Jenny said, before she realized the piece of armor on her right shoulder. “Oh, cool. It’s just like Zeke’s armor, so now we can equip it anytime.”

The same armor was on the rest of them, although Kira’s looked more like Aqua’s unequipped version of the armor.

In Lan’s hands was the book that Ira had given him.

“Alright guys, we got what we came here for. We should head back home.” he said.

They all opened a gate and rode away with their key beasts.

“Hm, I wonder how much time has passed since we left.” Alex said as the gate closed behind them.

(Canterlot High)

The gate opened right above Canterlot High, and the five Foretellers flew down and landed in the courtyard. They disbanded their keybeasts as they looked around to see nobody.

“Where is everyone? Is it the end of the day?” Alex asked.
‘
“Well we don't know how long we have been away. Luxu said that time flows differently in the dream realm so we could have been gone for days.” Dan explained.

“Good thing we told Principle Celestia we would be gone for an undetermined amount of time. So no one would worry about us when we’re gone.” Jenny said.

“Hey, do you guys hear that?” Kira said. When they listened they heard some sort of rapid tapping. Almost like footsteps, and they were getting closer, and closer.

*POW!*

Suddenly, the males of the group were talked to the ground by their girlfriends, as the girls were embraced by their male “friends.”

“Whoa, well we’re happy to see you all too.” Kira said as Pipsqueak let her go.

“Where have you all been!?” Pip asked. “You’ve been gone for an entire month.”

“A month!” Jenny said. “It only felt like a day over in the Dream realm.”

“Dream realm?” Flash asked confused.

“We’ll explain later.” Lan said getting up, along with the others. “But we’re glad that everything is still fine, even in our absence.”

“That’s good to hear.” Principal Celestia and Vice Principal Luna walked up to the group holding a large stack of papers. “You’ll be happy to know that those of us in the elite class have been keeping the rookie level Union members up in their training. As well as there haven’t been any Unversed attacks since you left.” Celestia said.

“That’s great.” Lan said. “But what is all those papers for?”

Luna smirked, “These are all of the homework assignments and tests you missed when you left on your mission. And the end of the semester is in one week so if you don’t want to fail all of your classes, we will need you to turn them all in by next week.”

Their faces darkened, and silence plagued the group for a moment. Until they all simultaneously yelled.

“AWWWWW MAAAAAAN!”

Peace Out!

A Dazzling First Encounter

At Canterlot High, the students were enjoying their lunch period. Sunset and her group of friends had just bought their lunch and made their way towards their table, chatting idly along the way.

“So we’re all going to that poster making thing after school right?” AJ asked her friends.

“Definitely! This will be the first time the Rainbooms will be on stage, so we have to make sure there are as many people there as possible!” Rainbow Dash said.

Fluttershy shuddered, “I-I hope there aren't too many people there. I’m not good around crowds.”

RD rolled her eyes, “C’mon Shy. You can fight unversed and Dream Eaters, performing publically can’t be any harder.”

Rarity comforted Fluttershy by gently placing her hand on her shoulder. “Don’t worry darling. The Musical Showcase is to raise money for the school, so it’s for a good cause. Focus on that and it won’t be as bad.”

As they arrived at their usual table, they were treated to a very strange sight. The Foreteller’s, minus Lan, were sitting with their faces down on the table. They had an exhausted look on their faces as well as a dark aura around them.

“Um… hey guys. You okay?” Sunset asked cautiously. The four of them let out a collective grunt of exhaustion as the group settled themselves on the table. “What’s goin on?”

Kira slightly turned to face them. “We’ve been making up all the school work we missed when we left to the dream world for the last few days. Not including goin to normal classes and doing the work for those classes too. We’re all pretty exhausted.”

“Not to mention continuing the training courses for our unions that we missed out on.” Jenny grunted.

“We have also been studying the tome that we got from the dream realm on top of that.” Dan yawned.

“By the way, where’s Lan?” Sunset asked.

“Oh, he called in today cause he was extra tired today.” Kira said. “Along with everything else, he had to make up for the paper work from Zeke and the council that he missed. He’s been busier than the rest of us because of it.”

“Ah, poor guy. Maybe we can visit after school.” AJ said.

(With Lan)

((Lan’s P.O.V)

*YAWWWN!*

So… tired.

So much homework, and paperwork, and homework, and paperwork. Gah! I need coffee! But Unfortunately we were out at the mansion. But for some reason the tub of coffee mix was empty AND still in the cupboards.

I know it was you Jenny!

Anyways, I was walking through the streets of Equestria Town. On my way to the Cake’s Shop for a nice cup of coffee.

“What do you jackasses want?” I suddenly heard a snarky sounding voice. I turn to see a girl about my age surrounded by a group of three thuggish guys.

“C’mon, don’t be like that. Why don’t you come with us? Promise we’ll show you a good time.” The lead thug said.

Man, how cliche is this scene? It’s like they jumped straight out of an anime.

“Why don’t you beat it. I’m busy.” The girl said. The thugs started to look agitated, I should probably step in.

Before the thugs could respond I swiftly walked to the girl and grabbed her hand. "There you are! I've been looking everywhere for you. C'mon, we're gonna miss the movie." I said quickly before dashing off with her, leaving the thugs dumbfounded.

After we got a good ways away, I stopped and let go of her hand. "Well we got out of tha-!"

*POW!*

I suddenly felt her punch me in the stomach!

"Ack!" I keel over coughing.

"What the hell were you doing!?" She yelled at me. I struggled to look up at her, but now I could finally get a good look at her. She had long purple hair with sea foam green streaks and tied up in twin tails. She wore a jacket with ripped sleeves the same color as the streaks in her hair, as well as a white tank top with purple jeans and darker purple go go boots. Around her neck was a black choker with a red gem hanging off, which seemed off to me for some reason.

Man, she sure is cute... wait! Not important right now!

I got back up and glared at her. "What do you mean "What was I doing!?" I was helping you out and getting you away from those thugs."

"I didn't need your help Mr. Hero, I could have handled it on my own." She turned with a huff.

"Usually, when someone helps another, they say thank you. But fine then, have a nice day." I said, walking away.

"Wait." She suddenly called out. "What's your name?"

What's with her all of a sudden? "My name is Lan."

She started twirling one of her twin tails around her finger nervously. "Mine's Aria. I guess you did help me some what. Not that I needed it. But, thanks I guess."

Wow, so this is what a real tsundere is like. Never thought it was so cute. I guess she isn't so bad.

"Your welcome, Aria." I said amused, with a slight bow.

"Whatever." She turned around with a huff and started walk away. While she did my eyes started to lower down her form.

Hm, she has a nice ass... Gah! Damn it! Those girls are getting to me, I'm becoming more like Alex.

"*YAWN*"

Okay, enough self berating. Need coffee.

(Aria's P.O.V)

So that's one of those Foreteller's huh? He doesn't look so tough. He didn't even beat up those fake thugs I placed.

Out of the shadows, three scraper Unversed appeared and bowed to me. That's refreshing. "Thank's boys. Take five." With that, they left.

So Lan huh? What an idiot.

(Lan's P.O.V)

When did the Cake's shop get so far away? It feels like I've been walking forever.

I continued my way to the cakes shop after that strange encounter with Aria. Hm... that name sounds familiar somehow.

"Laa~ Laaaa~ Laa~."

Faint singing broke me out of my thoughts. It was so hypnotizing, it started to draw me in. I followed the singing, to see a girl standing there, singing with her eyes shut without a care in the world.

She had long, light blue, hair with darker blue streaks all tied up in a pony tail. She wore a long sleeved magenta jacket with a pink skirt and matching shoes.

As she continued to sing, I couldn't help but get closer. What... is this? My mind feels like it’s swaying, like I have no control. When she stopped singing I broke out of my trance. So I started to clap.

"Huh!? Wah!" When I clapped it startled her, which made her jerk back and trip backwards. Thinking fast, I grabbed her hand before she hit the ground and pulled her to her feet.

"Sorry about that. I didn't mean to scare you." I said.

The girl snapped out of her shock, “That’s okay. I should have been paying attention to my surroundings.” She paused for a moment as she finally looked up to him. “Oh, your cute.”

Red lightly dusted Lan’s cheeks as he scratched the nape of his neck. “Um, thanks I guess.” He said sheepishly. “Your singing was great by the way.”

“Really!?” She suddenly yelled making Lan lerch back a bit. “Thanks nice guy! No one’s ever told me that before. Even Adagio says I have a lot to work on, so she keeps me in backup.” She continued to ramble on to herself.

“Are you a part of a band or something?”

“Not exactly. It’s just me and my sisters. We usually sing together to use our ma- I mean! We just like singing together. That’s all.” She said, sweat visible on her forehead. Hm, what a strange girl.

“Well like I said, you sounded great. It almost made me feel like you were trying to hypnotize me. Anyways, I have to go.” I said as i started walking away.

“Wait, you haven’t told me your name yet!”

“Oh, sorry about that. My name is Lan.”

She quickly took my hand with both of hers and shook it vigorously. “I’m Sonata. I hope we meet again.”

With that said we both went our separate ways.

(Sonata’s P.O.V)

He was nice.

I’m not sure why that Crow guy wants him killed, but I guess it’s none of my business. Adagio was the one who accepted the job anyways, so we should be fine. And we get these cool powers too!

But… he was the only one that liked my singing. My sisters and I have never been adored like that before. Everyone usually just gets angry with each other or just want to do whatever we tell them.

But Adagio always knows what's best for us.

(Lan’s P.O.V)

Finally!

I made it to the Cake’s shop! Why was it so much farther than usual today?

Eh, whatever.

I walk through the door and to the counter, to find Mrs. Cake standing there like usual.

“Oh, Lan honey, you look awful. What happened?” She said worried.

“The others and I have been trying to keep up with the school work we all missed when we were gone. Not to mention our regular duties, so we’ve all been exhausted lately.”

“Well hang in there. I know you’ve all been through worse ever since you all first got here. What can I get’cha?”

“Just a coffee. Two sugars.”

“Alrighty, I’ll put an extra shot in there for you. You look like you need it.” She walked away to get the order.

“Well hello there.” A flirty voice called out to me. I feel like there are a lot of flags are being raised to day.

Next to me was another girl around my age. Her long, poofy, hair was a bright orange with streaks of yellow through it. She wore a short sleeved pink jacket over a dark purple shirt with matching tights, along with stockings with a darker purple triangle pattern on them.

“Hey there handsome. Name’s Adagio, what about you?” The now named Adagio flirted.

“My name’s Lan. It’s nice to meet you.” I said awkwardly.

“Oh! Aren’t you one of those “Foreteller’s” the whole town talks about?”

“Yes actually. I’m guessing you’re new in town.”

“Yeah, my sisters and I recently moved here and we’re trying to get to know our surroundings. We heard a lot about you guys. You’re like the local heroes.” She started playing with her long hair looking interested.

“Well, I wouldn’t call us heroes. We’re just doing what needs to be done, as well as teaching our ways to the youth of the world.”

Mrs. Cake came into view with a cup in her hands. “Regular with two sugars and an extra shot!” She placed it on the counter and went to help other customers.

I reached for my coffee, but what I didn’t expect was Adagio grabbing the same cup. We both retracted our hands.

“Oh, sorry. Was that yours?” I asked.

“Well, it was the same order. I guess we both have similar taste. Why don’t you take this one? You look like you need it. No offence.” Adagio offered.

I’d usually insist that she would take it, but I really did need it at this point. So I took it.

“None taken, and thanks. I’ve been working a lot lately.”

“No problem.”

The two of us started making small talk over both our drinks. We sat down at a near by table and just continued chatting.

“You’re attending Canterlot High?” I said surprised.

“Yeah, My sisters and I are transferring there since it’s the nearest school.” She said

“Well how about my friends and I give you a tour when you guys come around?”

She gave me a big smile, “That would be fantastic!”

I looked towards the clock to see that it was getting close to evening.

“I should probably get going. I wouldn’t want my siblings to worry about me not being home when I called in sick.”

“Aw~ and I was really enjoying your company.” She suddenly brushed her hand over my chest, which sent chills down my spine. “But it can’t be helped. I’ll see you at school?” She looked with hope in her eyes.

“Of course. It’s been a pleasure Adagio.” With that, I left the cakes shop.

(Adagio’s P.O.V)

Hm~, what a man. Too bad we have to destroy him. Or so what that Crow guy told us we have to do.

I don’t like doing it, but to keep these powers he gave us he has to go. With these powers, we’ll make the whole world adore us. Unlike those ungrateful ponies!

*Splash*

Without noticing, I was clutching my coffee cup very hard and some spilled slightly. Good thing it was lukewarm at this point.

“Adagio!” I looked to see both Aria and Sonata walking up to my table.

“Hey girls. Did you both do your part?” I asked.

“Yeah, it went like we thought it would. He swooped in like the hero wanna be he is.” Aria said, with a little red on her cheeks.

“Yup. I sung to him, but it didn’t look like it affected him like the others. But it still looked like it got to him.” Sonata said.

“Good. Now we just have to wait till we get to school. Then our plan will commence.” I said, finishing off my coffee.

What is up everybody!?

Now I know that it's been a while and this chapter is pretty short, but its just a set up chapter for Rainbow Rock! Stay Tuned!

Like, Fave, Follow and all that stuff. Peace Out!

Rainbow Rocks Pt. 1

(Third Person P.O.V)

It was early in the morning at the Foreteller’s mansion, and what a beautiful morning it was. The sun was shining, the birds were singing-!

“Stay still you little bitch!” Jenny’s voice suddenly yelled.

And the sound of the Foretellers training could be heard for miles.

The five of them had finally recovered from their exhausted state, and had continued their training. With an early morning training session before school. Although there was something different about this training session, because the area around the mansion was a light barrier.

From the outside, it looked like a large dome of light, but the inside was very different. Inside the barrier was a very different setting, placing the Foretellers in a barren battlefield with weapons littering the ground. Much like the Keyblade cemetery but with regular weapons.

At the moment Jenny was sparring against Alex. The former trying desperately to strike the Leopardus leader, but failing because of the latter immense speed. Which made her very irritated.

Off to the side, Kira was standing beside Lan and Dan. She was emitting a light aura around her as her brothers were absorbing what was going on. Her Keyblade was in her hands as she started performing spells and shooting them towards targets.

Dan was writing down his observations. “It seems while she’s keeping the dream field up her combat abilities are reduced slightly. Her spells aren’t as powerful as they usually are.”

Lan nodded as she was observing Jenny and Alex sparing. The field around them started to fade a bit as the spare got a bit intense. “And the power being used when there’s a battle going on puts more strain on the field.” He then gazed at the rest of the field. “I still can’t believe our past selves had such a firm grasp on the dream realm.”

Dan nodded. “It is surprising, but they were the first ones to ever use Dream Eaters. Given that everyone had a Chirithy back then. So it wasn’t unexpected.” He then pulled out a card with the spirit Dream Eater symbol on it. “But I still question the reason the Dream Fields turn into cards. Maybe because they need to have a physical manifestation like the Dream Eaters.”

Back with the sparing duo, Jenny started getting more and more irritated by the second. One, for not being able to hit Alex. Two, for the annoying commentary he was saying.

“C’mon Jenny! You have to be faster than that! At least try and catch me!” Alex said mockingly.

“Take this seriously you idiot!” She yelled as she swung he Keyblade down. Alex jumped out of the way, but it left a rather large crater in the ground. “We’re testing out our new powers, so could you stop messing around?”

“Hey I’m doing my part. We’re testing out the integrity of the dream field right? Well you’re doing a very good job at that, while I’m being a good opponent.” He said with a mockings smile. “But man, you still got that temper. At this rate you’ll never get a boyfriend.”

From that comment, it threw Jenny’s temper over the edge. She angrily stabbed the ground him her Keyblade and started to flow magic through it. From the ground towers of earth started erupting from below and made their way towards Alex.

Seeing as how he was in a bit of danger he had to think fast. Small bolts of electricity started to arc across his body. In an instant he dodged said towers in the knick of time. Off to the side, they didn’t notice that Kira was wincing a bit.

“Hey, this is just a spare! No need to go all out!” Alex said. But his words fell on deaf ears as more earth towers shot towards him, making him flash away.

Back to the other three, Kira started to look very fatigue. Lan and Dan were there to support her.

“Kira, what’s wrong?” Lan asked.

“I think their fight is starting to wear out the field. The more they damage the field the harder it is to keep it up.” She said tired.

Alex and Jenny continued their fight until Alex charged straight for her ready to knock her out. He raised his Keyblade and swing down, but Jenny brought her’s up to block. This caused a large concussion explode around them.

This makes Kira fall to her knees as the dream field around them began to break apart.

Seconds later the five of them were back in the backyard of the mansion. This broke Jenny out of her fit of anger as she calmed down slightly.

“What the hell was that!?” Dan rushed over to Jenny and Alex. “You two were just supposed to have a light spar. Not be trying to kill each other!”

“Hey don’t blame me! She’s the one who went crazy! I was doing my job.” Alex yelled back.

Jenny glared at him. “Don’t try and pin this on me! Your dumb ass was spitting out bullshit that made me go over the edge.”

“Both of you were responsible! We don’t know the limits of the Dream Fields as of yet. What would have happened if you actually cause Kira harm?” Dan pressed on.

“Okay, we get it, dude! You don’t need to nag us!” Alex retorted.

The three of them continued to argue until Lan, who was supporting a tired Kira, had enough.

“Cut it out!” He yelled, gaining their attention. “Arguing isn’t going to fix anything. What happened happened, now let’s move on.”

Jenny rolled her eyes, “Tsk, typical.”

Lan narrowed his eyes. “What is that supposed to mean?”

Jenny just turned with a huff and walked away while muttering, “Whatever.”

With that their morning training had ended, with some tension between them.

The first part of the school day had went by slowly. The moment the Foretellers arrived at school, in their separate vehicles, they had immediately gone their separate ways to their classes bar Lan and Kira.

When their free period had finally came around they had meet up with each other. Though tension still lingered around them.

Although it was forgotten when they suddenly heard music coming from the band room. When they peeked inside, they saw Sunset and the Rainbooms. Sunset just listening to them as they played their song.

They continued to listen until they finished, which then they revealed themselves clapping for them.

“Nice song girls. Sounding tight.” Jenny said.

“Thanks Jen, but we’re still getting there.” Rainbow said. “Rarity’s coming in a bit late on the second verse, and the base could use a bit of work.”

Said bassist glared at the lead guitarist. “S’cuse me?” AJ said.

“No offense AJ, just trying to get my band ready for the show case.”

“Your band?” Rarity asked, also glaring at her.

“Yeah, it was my idea to start the Rainboom’s and be in the show case. Plus I’m lead guitar and vocals.” Their glares intensified.

Kira leaned in towards her brother. “It looks like we’re not the only ones with tension today.” She whispered.

Suddenly, the intercom played a tune. Gaining their attention.

“Will Sunset Shimmer and Lan Foreteller please report to the main foyer?”

“What’s going on?” Fluttershy asked.

“Oh, I volunteered to show around some new students today,” Sunset answered.

“Same, cause I’m pretty sure I know who they are,” Lan said. With that, the both of them left.

“So you volunteered too?” Lan asked his girlfriend.

“Yeah, I wanted the new students to get to know the new me before they hear about the old me.” She said a bit distraught.

Seeing her discomfort he wrapped his arm around her shoulders and brought her into a half-hug. “You shouldn’t let your past haunt you. You’re a better person now.”

She rested her head on his shoulder as they continued walking. “I know, but it’s difficult to just forget. I still feel like people give me dirty looks.”

Lan nodded, “Well I’m sure things will get better with time. If people are still giving you looks, just tell me their names and I’ll deal with them.”

She giggled. “Jeez, how corny.”

The two of them continued their way till they made it to the foyer, where a familiar trio was there waiting for them.

“Hey there,” Sunset said. “Are you the students we’re showing around?”

“Yes, we are. Thank you for showing us around.” Adagio said.

Lan smiled at them. “It’s nice to see you three again.”

“Hi, Lan!”

“Whatever.” Sonata and Aria greeted.

“It’s nice to see you too Lan. Especially after that coffee date, we had yesterday.” Adagio said.

Suddenly, a dark aura appeared around Sunset, as she began to dig the heel of her boot onto her boyfriend's foot.

“Date?” She asked slowly.

Lan started to sweat under the pressure. “We only met yesterday while I was getting coffee. Nothing happened.”

“Oh, are you his girlfriend?” Adagio asked. “Sorry I was just teasing. Nothing happened I swear.”

Sunset visibly calmed down. “Okay. So how about we get to showing you three around? Canterlot High is a great school. You’ll love it here.” They started the tour. But all the while, Lan couldn’t shake the feeling that he knew the three of them.

The two of them showed the three new students all over the school. The music room, science lab, auditorium, and near the end they ran into their friends and the other Foretellers.

Sunset waved to them, “Hey guys! What’s up?”

“We were all just heading to our classes. Who are they?” Rainbow asked, pointing at the Dazzlings.

“Oh, these are the new students.” Lan began. “These are Adagio, Sonata, and Aria.”

“Well,” Alex smirked. “It’s nice to see such beautiful girls coming into our fine school.”

Dan gave him a deadpanned look. “Dude, your girlfriend is literally right next to you.”

“Oh I don’t mind.” Pinkie said nonchalantly. “I don’t care where he get’s his motor running, just as long as he parks in the right garage.” The ones who understood what she meant blushed slightly.

Dan rolled his eyes. “I guess once a dirty pervert, always a dirty pervert.” He muttered, but Alex still heard him.

“What was that?” Alex asked, a bit irked by his statement.

“Alright, alright, let’s calm down here.” Lan said, then noticing Jenny rolling her eyes again. “Well we need to show them to Principal Celestia’s office. So we’ll see you in class.” They all waved each other off.

Eventually, the tour group made it to the Principal's office.

“Well, this is where we see you off. We have to head to our own classes, hopefully, we’ll see you there.” Lan said.

“And I hope you’ll consider joining in the musical showcase. From what Lan told me, you can all sing very well.” Sunset said.

“Yeah, me and my sisters do like to sing. We’ll probably ask to join, it sounds like a lot of fun.” Adagio said, before she gave both Lan and Sunset a thankful hug. “And thanks for showing us around.”

“You’re welcome.” With that, they split off from the Dazzlings when they entered the Principal’s office.

(With Alex and Pinkie)

(Thrid Person P.O.V)

In English Class, Alex and Pinkie Pie sat at their desks, that were side by side, waiting for class to start. Suddenly, Sonata had come through the door and waved at them.

“Hey, guys!” She said as she walked towards them.

“Hey, Sonata. I guess we have English together. This is gonna be so much fun!” Pinkie cheered.

“Well as fun as the school can be,” Alex said sarcastically.

The three of them started making conversation. In the middle of the talk, Sonata had looked at the palm of her hand which had writing on it.

“Um… So I noticed that there was some tension between everyone this morning. Was there something wrong?” She said a robotically. But the other two didn’t notice.

Alex let out a sigh. “Yeah, things have been a bit rough between us lately.” He admitted while Pinkie nodded in agreement.

“What happened? Maybe you’ll feel better if you talk about it.” Sonata dug further.

The didn’t know why, but while they talked to the blue dazzling they felt compelled to talk to her.

Alex was the first to speak, “It’s just that there has been tension going around in the group recently. Especially with Jenny. Just because she’s Lan’s second in command she thinks she can tell us what to do and be as aggro as she want’s to us.”

“And the Rainbooms aren’t doing so hot either.” Pinkie continued. “Everyone forgot how to have fun. Isn’t that what being in a band is all about?”

Sonata nodded understandingly at Alex. “I think you need to make a stand. Don’t take that. Don’t let her push you around.” She turned to Pinkie. “And you’re right. Being in a band should be fun. Maybe you should remind them what it’s like?” The two didn’t notice the gem on her choker started to lightly glow.

Alex and Pinkie couldn’t tell why, but their thoughts started to get more aggressive. They just thought it was them being upset with their friends.

“You know what? You’re right.” Alex agreed. “I don’t need to take that crap from her. She’s not the leader. I think Lan made a mistake on making such an effeminate girl his right hand.”

Just then the school bell rang, signaling that it was time for class to start. They all got into their seats.

(With Rainbow and Dan)

“Hah~. This is gonna be so boring.” Rainbow sighed. “You wanna just skip out today?”

“Now Rainbow, you know we can’t do that,” Dan replied. “We can’t let our grades slip, or else it’ll be less training time and even lesser date time.”

Rainbow roller her eyes but nodded. “Alright babe, but you’ll have to give me your notes if I fall asleep.” She rested her head on her boyfriend's shoulder.

“Well aren’t you two sweet?” Aria remarked walking up to the couple with a smirk.

“Yeah, what of it?” Rainbow replied in a challenging voice.

Aria waved it off, “Oh no, nothing at all. I was just messing around. But I am curious about this. Earlier it looked like you and everyone else was all about to pounce on each other. What was all that about?”

Alex’s eyebrow rose slightly. “Why are you so curious?” He asked.

Aria shrugged. “I’m just saying, things like this are usually good to talk about. So you can let it out instead of blowing up later. I know I’m new and all, but you can trust me.” Her choker started to glow slightly, which went unnoticed by the couple.

They both felt a slight tug in their minds, like something telling them to trust Aria.

“I guess it couldn’t hurt.” Dan sighed. “My friends and I have just hit a little bump in the road. My main problem is with a certain Leopard.” He referred to Alex. “He has the nerve to comment on my relationship when he and Pinkie are in such an indecent one?”

“Yeah, my band is having trouble too.” Rainbow pitched in. “Everyone doesn’t recognize me as the leader of the band. I mean it was my idea in the first place.”

“Sounds like you two are having a rough time,” Aria replied. “From what I’ve heard it sounds like they're jealous.”

“Jealous?”

Aria nodded. “Yeah, they are jealous of Rainbow because she is the leader. Plus, maybe Alex is jealous of you because of how well Rainbow and you fit well together. It sure sounds like it.”

The couple thought for a moment before they started to agree with her.

“Yeah, I'm the leader of the Rainbooms, it makes sneed that they are jealous cause they can't be as awesome as me,” Rainbow claimed pridefully.

“And who cares about what Alex thinks, he just can't be as adventurous in his relationship. Those two are more like sex buddies.” Dan added.

(With Rarity and Jenny)

Both Rarity and Jenny were settling into the Biology classroom as more students begin to fill in. Along with the regular students came Adagio, who walked over to them.

“Hey girls, it looks like we'll be in this class together.” Adagio greeted.

“It looks like it, darling. How do you like Canterlot High so far?” Rarity asked.

“It’s wonderful. Everyone is so friendly here, especially Lan.” Adagio smirked when she saw Rarity’s brow twitch.

“Oh? Why’s that?” Rarity asked in a lower voice.

“Well we met over coffee yesterday and he was quite the gentleman. Almost makes me jealous of Sunset snagging him already.”

“He has four girlfriends actually,” Jenny added.

Adagio looked at them confused. “Four?”

“Yes, including me darling.” Rarity said. “You see, Lan and his siblings are called the Foretellers, and it's more than just their family name. They are Masters Keyblade masters who lead their own unions. Most, if not the whole school, is apart of these unions and learning under them to wield a Keyblade. Lan and the others are citizens of the Daybreak Empire, a dimension connected to ours, so Polygamy is legal there. So Sunset, Applejack, Fluttershy, and I are dating him.”

Jenny scoffed to the side. “Yeah, because of his usual indecisive self,” she muttered quietly. But not quite enough, because Adagio heard her.

“Oh yes, I've been wondering something. All of you seemed to be a bit on edge around each other this morning. Why is that?” she asked.

But Rarity waved it off, “Just a bit of drama, darling. That's all.”

“Yeah, what she said.” Jenny seconded.

Adagio raised her brow as her gem started to glow. “Are you sure? Or maybe there's something more you want to say?”

Jenny and Rarity started clenching their fists, as aggression started to build.

“Actually there was something that I am irked about.” Rarity started. “The other members of the Rainbooms don't appreciate what I have to bring to the table. I'm trying to make us look fabulous for when we hit the stage, but they don't understand that our image is just as important as the music!”

“Mhm, I see. It looks like they would rather wear rags instead of taking your opinion into consideration. You should dwell on that a bit.” Adagio turned to Jenny, “And you?”

Jenny sighed. “It’s Lan. Whenever a spec of conflict shows up in the group, he is always there to play peacemaker. The others don't see it, but I know what he’s thinking when he does. He doesn't want anyone us to be like Crow. Does he trust us THAT much to think we'll end up like him?”

The Dazzling smirked, “Sounds pretty tough, to have your leader think about you that way. Maybe you should take the lead for once.” she left the two of them to dwell on their thoughts as she grabbed a desk when the bell rung.

‘The seeds are planted. Now let's see how they grow.’she thought with a sinister smile.

Lunch had finally come around. Sitting at their usual table, the Foretellers and the Rainbooms were enjoying their lunch. Although, there was, even more, tension than usual. All of the members of the group, bar Kira and Sunset, refused to start any conversation with each other. None willing to start talking until someone else did. Which made the moment awkward for both Kira and Sunset.

“So…. How was everyone's first classes?” Sunset broke the ice.

“It was the same old stuff,” Dan replied first. “Although, Aria was in our Calculus class.”

“Oh really? Sonata was in our class too! She was so fun to talk to!” Pinkie added.

“Same with Adagio in mine and Rarity’s Biology class,” Jenny said.

“Oh, and beloved?” Rarity suddenly called to Lan.

“Yes, Rarity?” Lan asked.

*BAP!*

The table suddenly rattled as Lan hunched over in pain. Obviously, because Rarity had suddenly kicked Lan’s shin under the table.

“Adagio had just told me about your coffee date the other day. Is there something you are not telling us, Beloved?” Rarity questioned harshly. Suddenly, dark aura’s, similar to Sunset’s from earlier, started radiating from Fluttershy and Applejack.

“A date?” Applejack asked.

“Without telling us?” Fluttershy finished.

“We-we-we just met when I was getting coffee. Nothing happened, I swear!” Lan waved his arms in defense.

“It’s true girls. Don’t get your panties in a bunch.” Suddenly the Dazzlings walked up to the group with their lunch in their arms. They sat at a table adjacent to the group, seeing as it is full.

“Hey, girls. How were your first classes?” Sunset asked.

“It was alright,” Aria Replied cooly.

“It was really nice! Pinkie and Alex helped me a lot in English.” Sonata cheered.

“Well, it’s nice to see you three getting settled in,” Sunset said cheerfully.

*Bzz!*

The intercom turned on as Principal Celestia started making an announcement.

“Good afternoon students. We have a very special announcement. The Musical Showcase has now changed into a Battle of the Bands! We believe a little bit of friendly competition would make the event more exciting. We hope all the bands participating will show good sportsmanship to all, even though only one band can win. Have a nice day.”

The announcement ended, and chatter started spreading through the cafeteria.

“That’s strange. Why would the change the concept so suddenly?” Dan asked.

“That was our suggestion actually,” Adagio said. “Like the Principal said, we thought that a little competition would spice things up. To our surprise, they really agreed with the idea.”

*Boom!*

Suddenly a loud boom rang through the cafeteria. The group looked at each other nodding before they all headed to where the boom originated. But they left the grinning Dazzlings sitting there.

The Foretellers and the Rainbooms rushed outside to the courtyard, only to see some members of their unions trying to fend off a strange type of Unversed.

They shared the navy blue color scheme as most of the Unversed, as well as the Unversed insignia on their chests. They were wearing what looked like a marching band uniform, tall hats and all. They all looked similar, although, some of them had different instruments than the rest. For example, one had an Unversed variation of a hand harp, the others looked like trombones, drums, etc.

Two students, both wielding Starlight Keyblades, tried to launch an attack, only for and Unversed with a trombone to suddenly force them back with a powerful sound attack when he blew into it.

The group rushed to their side and stood defensively in front of them.

“We’ll take it from here. Make sure any civilians get to safety.” Jenny ordered the downed students. They both nodded without a second thought and left the Unversed to their Masters.

“Yo, if you guys are here to audition for the Battle of the Bands, you might not wanna try and hurt the competition. That’ll get you disqualified.” Alex taunted.

Dan rolled his eyes at him. “Let's just get this over with. Classes are almost starting.” The others nodded in agreement.

They all tried to summon their Keyblades, but something strange started happening. The light of their Keyblades started to form but reshaped into very much different shapes. Their Keyblades had revealed to have taken different forms.

For Jenny and Pinkie Pie, they both had two machetes sized drum sticks in both their hands that corresponded with their Keyblade designs. Also, they were both surrounded by floating drum sets that also matched their color scheme, albeit the size of them were smaller than regular drums.

Kira and Rarity had stylish looking keytars. Kira’s looking a lot like her original Keyblade with a fox head decorating the end of the fret board, while Rarity’s looked more alabaster than Kira’s to match her Lavender Blue.

For Applejack and Dan, bass guitars also fitting their own styles. Although Dan’s bass had five strings instead of the usual four.

Next was Rainbow, Sunset, and Alex, all three rocking their individual guitars.

Lastly, Lan and Fluttershy had unique of them all. Lan’s was a stylish looking micro phone sitting on a stand that had the same design as his Unicornis. There was a long cord wrapping around the pole of the stand, and two speaker-like disks floated right beside him. Fluttershy had a larger than normal tambourine, although the symbols around the border looked like saw blades as they jiggled against each other.

“The hell? What happened to our Keyblades!?” Jenny exclaimed.

Dan strummed a few savory licks with his Anguis Bass. “It seems like our Keyblades have changed form to fight the sort of situation. Must be because the Unversed are musically themed this time for some reason.”

“How are we supposed to fight like this?” Kira examined her Vulpes Keytar. She played a couple keys before a shockwave suddenly shot out of the head of the instrument and forcing some of the Unversed back. “Well, that works.”

With the first shot fired, the Unversed charged at the group with their instruments at the ready. The same could be said for the group of Keybladers.

Several of the Unversed instruments charged forward allowing their musical notes to appear nearly exploding on the group as they took physical form. Sunset, Rainbow, and Alex charged forward strumming on their guitars creating shockwaves to knock the explosives away.

“Whoa! These things rock! I think I found my replacement guitar.” Rainbow cheered.

“But it’s awkward to fight like this. I can’t even cast my regular spells.” Alex said.

The Unversed took the chance to circle around the group forcing the three to split up just to make sure that their explosives couldn’t do them in.

As the guitarists were busy knocking the explosives away both Jenny and Pinkie noticed something crawling on the ground. Large Oboe like Unversed popped in and out of the dirt trying to impale them from below. Unsure what to do the two started to beat away at their drums causing the ground around them to crunch and crush all around them. The Oboes were forced above ground only to fall to the drumming strength the two possessed.

“Oh yeah! This is pretty cool. C’mon Pinkie, Let’s rock their world!” Jenny said, with Pinkie cheering next to her as they continued to bang on their drums.

Growing complacent Fluttershy and Kira noticed that the others were getting tired and started to fiddle around with their instruments playing a soothing melody which sped everyone up enough to keep up with the constant barrage of explosives. When they finished that melody, Rarity took point using the sound waves they created to pinpoint enemies knocking them around from a distance.

Applejack and Dan immediately took up the slack as large drum like Unversed sprinted forward nearly knocking aside all the guitarists. Both played heavy solo pieces knocking them to the side allowing the others to hit the weak points they had. They began switching off playing the next part of their impromptu bass solo.

All through out this Lan noticed that most of the guitar Unversed and a few drum Unversed stayed back waiting in the wings while the rest charged forward.

“This is awkward. I guess this is what I get for not bothering to learn an instrument like the others.” Lan said, preparing his “weapon” for battle.

The guitar Unversed started up immediately going through multiple power chords as the very ground around the group immediately splintered and cracked revealing large fissures which covered the entire landscape. The drums took off afterward sending energy through those fissures to strike below the Foretellers. It forced the group to veer off from each other before they could get hurt too badly.

As the next section of the song started up it got slower but much harder forcing Lan to race forward before they could return to the hardcore solos. Unfortunately, the Unversed prepared for it as several harp Unversed popped out of nowhere and began trying to run over Lan. A large piece of rock got in the way of the strings and was instantly slices neatly into pieces. The strings were sharper than Rarity’s wit.

Forced back Lan slammed the microphone base down and spun it around making the harp Unversed falter in their charge. They were the least of his worries as the guitar Unversed which had stayed behind immediately started up a solo which caused the sky to darken and lighting to start peppering the area.

Lakes of flames burst from the fissures chasing after the group as the harp Unversed started to target the more immobile of the groups. Sunset and Rainbow made short work of the Unversed keeping both Pinkie and Jenny safe from retaliation. That didn’t stop the flames from licking them all nearly smoldering against their bodies.

Lan shouted into the mic blasting the flames away keeping his friends safe as the guitar Unversed all started to sync up with each other causing the flames to turn green which at that point meant that it was as hot as dragon fire.

Lan signaled the others as they started to play something altogether with Fluttershy acting to keep the beat upbeat. As the two songs clashed with each other the very air around them started to shatter and crack from the sheer magnitude of the other’s playing setting the very field on fire. Unfortunately, the Unversed started too early and ran out of song just as the Foretellers managed to get to the middle of their song knocking the Unversed all around and wiping them up from the field. They all dispersed, showing that they were all defeated.

“Yeah! That was Awesome!” Rainbow cheered, albeit weakly from the damage from the battle.

The others were just as fatigue, all panting and bruised after fighting the musical themed Unversed. With “weapons” that they were unfamiliar with. Although Kira and Fluttershy were less so as they were more in the support role in the fight.

The two healers started playing their instruments to cast a curaga spell on their friends. After a moment, they all got up completely healed.

“Well, that was interesting,” Jenny said dispersing her Key-instrument, while the others followed her lead.

“Interesting doesn’t begin to describe it.” Dan started, “To my knowledge, Keyblades haven't turned into anything but the gliders. Plus we haven't heard of anything like this from Daybreak, so this is the first time it’s happen to any of us. Although I am curious why it fit the situation with the Unversed.”

“Maybe it’s the world telling us and our Keyblades that this is what is needed for an upcoming event.” Alex guessed.

*RING!*

The conversation was interrupted by the warning bell.

Lan sighed. “Well, the Unversed are taken care of. We can talk more about this after school. For right now, let’s get back to class.”

(With the Dazzlings)

The three Dazzlings were observing the whole fight through a nearby window within the school.

“Well, that was unexpected.” Adagio stated, “Never would have thought that would happen, I thought they fought with Keyblades. But no matter, all is going according to plan and they don’t suspect a thing.”

Aria yawned, “It’s kind of boring though. With these powers, I’d rather take them down myself than watching them destroy each other.”

Sonata didn’t say anything as she looked at the floor a bit sad. This didn’t go unnoticed by her sisters.

“Sonata? What’s wrong?” Adagio asked caringly.

“Other than what’s already wrong with you.” Aria quipped before getting lightly smacked by Adagio.

“It’s just, do we really need to do this?” Sonata asked. “Lan and the rest of them have been so nice to us. And I actually like it here. Do we really need to do what that Crow guy says?”

After listening to her sister, Adagio took a deep breath and sighed.

“I understand Sonata, and I’ll admit I don’t hate being here either. But what do you love doing the most?” The leader asked.

Sonata looked confused before answering, “Singing?”

“That’s right. It’s what we all love doing, we are the Sirens after all. But do you think all of them are gonna be so friendly after they see what our voices can do? Do you think they will adore us like we want?” Adagio said. Sonata thought for a second, before nodding no. “Exactly, they will probably just call us monsters, like those ungrateful ponies!”

“That’s why we’re here in the first place,” Aria added. “The human’s here have more magic than anywhere we’ve seen here. If we can absorb all that negative energy from them, we’ll have our full powers back.”

“And make the world adore us.” Sonata finished. She still looked a bit sad, but it was replaced with determination. She wanted to do what was best for her and her sister.

“Now come on girls. We have a party to attend.” Adagio ordered.

Rainbow Rocks Pt. 2

It was the end of the school day at Canterlot High. Most of the school was attending the party that was being held in the gym to prepare for the Battle of the Bands. That also included the Rainbooms and the Foretellers. While the Rainbooms and the rest of the students were enjoying themselves, the Foretellers were off to the side discussing what happened during the Unversed attack.

“So have you heard anything, Dan?” Lan asked.

Dan shook his head no, “I’ve contacted one of our informants in Daybreak, but as far as anyone knew this hasn’t happened. It seems that this ability may be unique to our reflection, or there are no records of a time when Keyblades were able to change into a different form other than the gliders.”

“But what brought this on?” Jenny interrupted, “It hasn’t happened before, so why is it happening now?”

“Maybe it’s the world telling us something. Like how when appearances change when traveling through worlds, maybe the world is affecting our Keyblades.” Alex added his two cents.

“That does make sense, but what would turn of events would make this happen?” Kira asked.

While the Foreteller's were in their thoughts, Principal’s Celestia and Luna walked up to the stage getting everyone's attention.

“Hello students, it’s a pleasure to see so many of you attend. As you know, the Musical Showcase has been shifted to a Battle of the Bands competition. For a special treat for those competing, our newest students wanted to perform a special song for all of you. Now without further ado, may I introduce The Dazzlings!”

The curtains rose and revealed Adagio, Aria, and Sonata, as the crowd cheered for them.

]

As the Dazzlings continued to sing, the gem’s on their chokers glowed brightly. The audience was entranced by their song, even the Foretellers. Although they felt something off around them as the song went on.

With the Rainbooms, they were listening and admiring the Dazzlings.

“Wow, they're pretty good, but not as awesome as me.” Rainbow bragged.

Applejack glared at her, “You mean us?”

“Huh? Oh right, us!”

“And their outfits fit perfectly with their song. I have to make gorgeous outfits when we perform.” Rarity said in thought.

Applejack sighed, “No one cares what we look like Rares, just that our music is good.”

“Well, I care! Plus I’m sure our beloved will enjoy seeing us all dolled up.” Rarity countered. As the two of them looked like they were about to fight, Pinkie Pie cut in.

“C’mon girls, let’s all remember just to have fun. Like being in a band should be!” Pinkie cheered.

Off to the side, Fluttershy looked away with an irritated look.on her face. “It’d be more fun if we could play a song I wrote for once.”

Off to another part of the gym, Flash Sentry was also admiring the music, along with his band. But a sudden spur of competitiveness rose inside him.

“They are good, but not enough to win the Battle. Everyone knows we are the best band in Canterlot High.” He gloated with his band agreeing with him.

“Excuse me?” Trixie, who was close enough to hear them, asked accusingly. “I believe you mean the Great and Powerful Trixie is the best!”

“No way!” Apple Bloom came into the scene with Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle. “The Crusaders are the best. We’re gonna win it all!”

One by one, more and more people started arguing with each other until the whole gym was in a mass argument. All the while the Dazzlings continued to sing with their pendants glowing.

(Song end)

The Dazzlings ended their song and gazed at the audience. They saw almost everyone arguing with each other, filling the gym with negative energy. This made them smirk mischievously as the negative energy started to be absorbed by their pendants.

The Foreteller’s were surprised to the see outcome. Mostly everyone, including the Rainbooms (bar Sunset) were arguing with each other.

“Wow, the competition is really getting to them, and it hasn’t even started yet,” Dan said. “Should we intervene?”

“Nah, it should be fine,” Jenny replied. “As long as they don’t start pulling their Keyblades out, then it doesn’t concern us. Besides the whole argument is ridiculous, Flash and his band are the most experienced out of all of them.”

“Of course you’d side with him, considering he’s the only guy to go after you,” Alex muttered.

Jenny glared at him with rage. “What was that!?” Jenny was about to lunge at him but Lan and Dan held her back.

Dan sighed. “Just like the pervert to say something so insensitive. I guess some idiots never change.”

“Hey!” Alex yelled, “At least I’m not a pushover who lets my girlfriend boss me around!”

“What is that supposed to mean?” Dan let go of Jenny and glared hard at Alex.

“At least Pinkie and I do things we both mutually agree too. You used to hate rock climbing yet you go every other week now. Why? Because Rainbow want’s to and you can’t say no. You know what that makes you? A punk!”

“Alright, that’s enough!” Lan got between them. “Let’s not start anything we’ll regret later.”

Jenny rolled her eyes. “Oh yeah, typical Lan. Butting into other people's business.”

“What does that mean?” Lan asked.

“It means you’re always butting into our business! Even the slightest show of confrontation and you’re there to stop it no matter it involves you or not! What do you think if we just argue with each other we’re gonna turn out like Crow? You think you’re keeping the peace, you’re just being a coward!” Jenny yelled.

Now the Foretellers began to argue just like everyone else, except for Kira who started backing away from the conflict.

‘This isn’t right. Why is everyone fighting? Is this how they really feel about each other? No, this has to be something else.’ She thought. Her thoughts stopped when she bumped into someone, who just so happened to be Sunset also backing away from her group.

“Kira!” Sunset sighed in relief. “Do you know what’s going on here? Everyone turned agro all of a sudden.”

“I don’t know Sunset.” Her gaze hardened as it fell upon the Dazzlings on the stage. “But I have a hunch that it has something with them.”

Later that night, when the “Party” had ended, everyone returned home still fuming about the whole ordeal. The Foretellers, Rainbooms, none of them talked to one another or even dared to look at each other.

The moment the Foretellers entered their mansion, they all stormed off to their rooms and slamming the doors shut. Only leaving Kira in her room, frustrated that she couldn’t get through to her siblings.

The next day began the Battle of the Bands, and it was anything but a friendly competition. From the very beginning, band after the band was being blown away by each other. Leaving the winners to gloat, and the ones who lost in bitterness and anger.

The Foretellers were being spectators during the whole event, but the tension between them could be cut with a knife with how thick it was. Kira was sitting dead center of the four of them on the bleachers because they refused to sit next to each other. While Kira was getting irritated, seeing how childish they were being, but also saddened that they were being so hostile towards each other. They had never been so angry at each other before, not even when they were in their old world.

The Battle of the Bands waged on, the last battle of the semi-finals was against the Rainbooms and Trixie. Trixie’s band had played well, the Rainbooms, however, were not doing so well. They were playing okay at first, but Rainbow Dash was making in clear that she was the center of attention. By the looks of the other Rainbooms, they were getting really irritated, especially when all the spot lights focused on Rainbow. What went unnoticed by the audience was the green mist coating the floor of the stage, and it seemed to be coming off of the irritated members of the Rainbooms. Although Kira saw this and looked at it curiously like she had seen it somewhere before.

Suddenly, Sunset ran onto the stage and tackled Rainbow down mid guitar solo, causing a series of unfortunate events that ended with Applejack’s bass stuck in Pinkie’s drum set. The crowd started to shout profanities at the Rainbooms, especially Sunset as they left the stage.

The Foretellers quickly went backstage to see if they were alright, only to find the Rainbooms stuck in another argument and Sunset looking down in shame.

“Sunset.” Kira walked up to here while the others tried to calm down the Rainbooms. “What happened?”

Sunset sighed. “I don’t know, I felt like I had to act fast. I saw some strange green energy leaking from the others while Rainbow played, and it gave me a bad feeling. I had to do something.”

“So you saw it too,” Kira concluded. She looked over Sunset’s shoulder to see the Celestia and Luna discussing who won. Suddenly, the Dazzlings appeared from behind them and started to sing to them. Both Kira and Sunset saw the Principles eyes glowed green for an instant before returning to normal.

“Did you see that?” Kira asked Sunset. “It looked like their singing had some sort of effect on them.”

Sunset nodded, “Yeah if that’s true then it must be how they got them to change the Showcase into a Battle of the Bands. Which is strange, the only beings I know that can control people with their voices are Sirens, but no one's seen any Sirens in Equestria for centuries.”

With that name, something clicked in Kira’s mind.

‘The Sirens! Of course, with all that’s happened recently, I totally forgot we watched the other movies with Elzin and Huxley! How could we have not recognized them sooner!? They must be causing the raised aggression in the school.’ Kira berated herself.

“I think we should confront them.” Kira glanced at her siblings, who had stopped trying to reason with the Rainbooms and started an argument of their own. She sighed, “And I don’t think they are willing to listen as of now. Looks like it’s up to us Sunset.” The bacon haired girl nodded as they broke off from the group.

After the winners of the semi-finals were announced, which were the Dazzlings and the Rainbooms, everyone had been released so the bands could set up for their performances.

Currently, the Dazzlings were instructing multiple students how they wanted the stage to look for their “performance.”

“Hah~ Everything is going perfectly. Isn’t it girls?” Adagio said to her sisters who agreed with her.

“I got to be real honest, I would have thought it would go off with a bit of a hitch. But at least it didn’t take all that much effort.” Aria sighed.

“Excuse me.” The Dazzlings looked behind them to see Kira and Sunset standing before them.

“Oh hello Kira, Sunset. You here to check out the stage before our grand performance?” Adagio asked.

“Cut the act Adagio, we know what you’re really doing here, and what you really are. Sirens!” Sunset pointed accusingly at them.

The Dazzlings looked at each other before Aria sighed. “Looks like the cat’s out of the bag, not that it matters anyways. Our plan is pretty much complete.”

“What is your plan exactly? We already know you're trying to gain control of everyone at Canterlot High, but even then what do you have to gain from this?” Kira asked.

Adagio raised her eyebrow with a cocky smirk. “Oh? I thought you said you know everything. Well, might as well humor you. It’s not like anything you can do will stop us. I assume you recognize this?” She pulled off her fingerless glove, and reveal an Unversed insignia on the back of her hand. Aria and Sonata also had the insignia’s, except theirs, were on their left and right forearms.

“You’re infected with Unversed! Which means you’re with Crow, aren’t you?” Kira accused.

“That’s right!” Sonata intervened. “That Crow guy said he could help us in making this world adore us! So he gave us the Unversed and told us a place filled with magic where we can restore our full Siren powers!”

“And as long as we destroy you Foretellers in the process, he’d let us keep the Unversed powers,” Aria added her two cents.

“We won’t let you do that!” Kira and Sunset summoned both their Key-instruments and prepared to fight.

But Adagio just waved them off, “Sorry we can’t play with you now, we’re preparing for our performance tonight. Plus, I think you two have a more important matter to attend to.”

The duo looked confused before they heard a loud crash that sounded close to the area.

“Oh no!” Adagio shouted in mock worry, “It sounds like another monster attack! I hope there are some heroes nearby to prevent innocent bystanders from getting hurt.”

Kira and Sunset glared at the Dazzlings before reluctantly ran towards the commotion.

“Well there they go, now all that’s left to do is sing our song, cast our spell, and take over the minds of the Keybladers of Canterlot High. Easy.” Aria said with a cocky smirk.

“But what if they finish off the Unversed? Won’t they come after us?” Sonata asked.

Adagio smirked. “Don’t worry, I have a feeling they’ll be held up with more than just our Unversed.”

Kira and Sunset rushed toward the commotion, but when they arrived they were shocked at the scene before them.

They saw no Unversed, they saw their friends battling each other. Both Foreteller’s and Rainbooms fought, their eyes filled with rage. Debris and sound waves flew across the battlefield.

Sunset and Kira could only stare in despair as they witnessed the ones they cared about battling themselves.

“How did this happen?” Kira asked.

(Moments Earlier…)

Unversed were littering the streets of Equestria Town.

While Union members from Canterlot High were leading civilians to safety while fending off the Unversed, The Foretellers and Rainbooms were taking the Vanguard position and taking them head on.

Lan dodged one of the Unversed sound attacks and struck on with the bottom of his mic-stand. “We need to keep them off the citizens! Hold them off till our members get them clear.” Lan ordered.

“Yeah, yeah, we already know, fearless leader.” Jenny said sarcastically while bashing a Violin Unversed with her drum sticks.

Rarity was blasting away at a group of Unversed, but one Cello got close enough to slash at her. She dodged in time to not do any damage, but it did rip a part of her shirt revealing some of her black bra.

“AH! My shirt, it was one of my favorites.” She whined. While she was distracted the cello took the advantage and charged at her, only for another sound wave to blow it away. Applejack landed right in front of her looking irritated.

“Could you stop worrying about your outfit for 5 minutes!? We’re in the middle of a fight.” AJ yelled.

“I can worry about both at the same time thank you!” Rarity retorted.

A few feet away, Alex was fighting his share of Unversed, but was then distracted by Rarity’s slightly exposed self. Before another Unversed could attack, Dan appeared between them and used his Key-tar to smack them away.

“Hm, and here I thought you would forget your perverted tendencies in the midst of battle. I guess I was wrong.” Dan said.

Jenny runs up next to them and nodded in agreement. “Yup, a pervert through and through.”

Alex growled at her. “What Jenny? You jealous that no boy is ever gonna perv out on you?”

Jenny turned to him with rage written all over her face. “That’s it!” Jenny banged on her drums and aimed her attack towards Alex, who fortunately dodged. He retaliated with a sound attack of his own, but Jenny dodged and it hit Dan instead.

“Hey! Break it up, we’re fighting the Unversed not each other!” Lan got in between them, only to barely dodge an attack by Jenny.

“We don’t need you to butt in Fearless Leader! Or is this is more of your cowardice!?” Jenny accused.

With tension rising between both Foretellers and Rainbooms one thing leads to another, eventually resulting in the heroes fighting themselves. What they didn't notice was the Unversed disappearing, like their purpose was fulfilled and leaving only a green mist in their place.

Sunset and Kira were watching as their friends fought each other, unsure of what course of action to take.

“What do we do?” Sunset asked herself. “If they continue fighting they’ll kill each other, but we can’t intervene or else we’ll be dragged into it. Even then they won’t snap out of the Dazzlings influence.”

Kira didn’t answer, thinking on how to get through to her friends and siblings. Suddenly, she felt a slight tug in her heart, so did Sunset. Their Key-instruments appeared without notice, and suddenly they two clashed together making a bright light. When the light died down, it revealed a grand piano with two mics that shared their Keyblade’s color scheme.

“What happened?” Kira asked.

“Play what’s in your heart.” They both heard their keyblades speak to them.

The two looked at each other for only a moment of hesitation before they nodded in agreement. They knew what they had to do, and trusted each other to do what they could.

Kira walked up to the piano and plays a single key. Golden chains shot out of where the strings were and wrapped themselves around their friends. When they were restrained, the duo saw that all their eyes were glowing emerald green.

“Kira!? What the hell is going on!?” Jenny yelled.

“Sunset! Let us down this instant! I still have a thing or two to show that country hick!” Rarity shouted.

The others shouted at them also, but their determination did not waiver. The both of them sat on the bench in front of the grand piano and started playing.

As they played the others were still struggling against their restraints, but when they dove into their singing their struggling started to settle down. Kira and Sunset were completely lost in their own playing, only focusing on what their hearts were saying. Focusing on their desire to free their friends. Focusing on wanting to return to how they used to be before all of the aggression rose.

The notes of their song started to manifest into a golden aura that started dancing around their friends. Their glowing green eyes started to return to their natural color, and their struggling has completely died down. Their chain restraints started to lower them back onto the ground, as Kira and Sunset reached the final note.

(Song End)

The duo let out a sigh of relief as the grand piano dissipated. They saw their friends all kneeling on the ground, panting in fatigue.

“Is everyone okay?” Kira asked.

There was a moment of silence until they all looked down in shame.

“Honestly, no.” Lan started, “We were all so angry, so much that we ended up trying to kill each other”

Fluttershy’s eyes started to tear up, “We all said such horrible things, and we kept just getting angrier.”

“It wasn’t your fault, the Dazzlings were the cause of all this.” Sunset tried to up their spirits.

“But it wasn’t just them!” Jenny yelled. “I can’t speak for everyone, but I’d be lying if I said that aggression wasn’t there already.” The guilty expressions on the other’s faces say that they knew how she felt.

“Jenny.” Lan caught their attention. “You were right. I am a coward. I am always afraid that any fighting between us would cause us to hate each other. I care about all of you so much, you’re my family, that’s why I’m afraid. I don’t want to lose any of you like we lost Crow all those years ago.”

Jenny nodded. “I’m sorry for everything I said, Lan. I guess I was just thinking more about my position as second in command. I’m supposed to snap you out of thoughts like that, but feeling your fear made me feel like I wasn’t doing my best. So I guess I thought if I called you out on it, you would realize it.”

“I’m sorry too.” Alex spoke up, “I was acting like a jerk the whole time, but that’s only because I was forcing myself to stay the same as when we were back on earth. Our lives are so different now, so I guess I though even if I was a jerk I could prevent any of us from drifting apart. I wanted to make it so that we would always be a team like back then.”

“So you have changed,” Dan added. “I must apologize as well. Ever since we got back from the Dream Realm, all I've been thinking about is moving forward and getting stronger. I felt as though that all the change was a sign that we were making progress. When I saw you and Jenny arguing like we have all our lives, I guess I just thought we were the same weak kids that faced off against Ava. I was in too much of a hurry to change, I didn’t see how much I was pushing it.”

Seeing them admit to their faults, it was the Rainbooms to turn to confide.

“Rarity,” AJ started. “I’m sorry I said that nobody cares about your outfits. I didn't appreciate the hard work you were doing for the band when I was just focusing on the music.”

Rarity nodded. “It’s alright Applejack, I have been being ridiculous lately. Focusing on the outfits more than the music, I just wanted to make everyone look as exceptional as the music we make.”

“Fluttershy, Pinkie,” Rainbow said in a solemn voice. “I know that I've been the main problem lately. I’ve been so self-centered lately. I Ignored Fluttershy’s suggestions and songs, and I made the band less fun to be in. I was just focusing on being the best.”

Pinkie and Fluttershy pulled Rainbow into a group hug. “It’s alright Dashy, we understand.” Pinkie started.

“And we forgive you, we weren’t helping either with how we were acting,” Fluttershy admitted.

Kira and Sunset could only smile as they saw their friends finally work out their problems. Although, even with the tender moment, there was no time to lose.

“Everyone Listen,” Kira called out. “Sunset and I discovered that the Dazzlings are actually Sirens from Equestria. They are working with Crow and planning on using their song magic to mind control everyone.” The Foretellers knew what she was talking about, while the other Rainbooms looked shocked.

“We can’t let that happen! Let’s go and save everyone!” Rainbow said.

Fluttershy looked out towards the school and see the concert lights in the distance. “But the concerts already started. If they’re already performing then they would have everyone under control by now. If we go there now then we’d be outnumbered, and we’d have to fight our Union members.”

“Then we have to counter their spell with our own.” Everyone turned to Sunset in surprise. She materialized hey Key-guitar. “I think I know why our Keyblades took this form now. Cause they knew that the only way to defeat the Sirens is a song of our own!” She said with determination, while the others got hyped up with her.

“And I know just the song we should play,” Rainbow said. The others looked at her questioningly, before she wrapped her arm around Fluttershy. “Fluttershy’s written a perfect song for this.” Fluttershy looked elated when she heard her say it.

“Looks like we’re saving the world again. But personally, I think we should do it in style. Rarity?” AJ asked with a smirk as Rarity’s eyes lite up.

“Oh, I thought you’d never ask!” The fashionista summoned her Keytar. “I’ve been wanting to use this spell for a while now. Henshinga!” When she played the keys and cast the spell, a veil of lavender energy started spinning around her and the others. When the veil unwrapped itself off the Keybearers and revealed them in whole new outfits.

(The Rainbooms minus Twilight)

(Sunset)

(Lan)

(Jenny)

(Alex)

(Dan)

(Kira)

“Oh! What cute outfits!” Pinkie said as she and the other Rainbooms complemented Rarity.

“Whoa! This is definitely my style!” Jenny said, checking herself out.

“Mine too! But…” Kira messed with the front of her dress. “The skirt might be a bit short.”

“Why am I so pink?” Alex asked.

Pinkie smiled as she glomped onto her boyfriend. “Pink looks good on you babe. I should know~” She sung out.

“I feel so punk,” Dan said through the gas mask. “But I surprisingly enjoy it.”

“They are great outfits Rarity, thank you,” Lan said. “Now let’s ride!” They all mounted they gliders and flew towards the concert hall.

][u]

The two groups landed on a hill just adjacent to the concert hall. They could see the Dazzlings singing while the audience was already under their sway.

“How are we supposed to play over them from all the way up here?” Rainbow asked, but a sudden honk interrupted here.

They turn to see Vinyl Scratch drive up to them in her car.

“Masters! Thank goodness I found you guys!” Vinyl said as she ran up to the group.

“Vinyl? How come you aren’t brainwashed like the others?” Dan asked his Union member.

“Oh, I never take off my headphones.” She said nonchalantly, while the others sweat drop. “Anyways, I tried to find you when things started getting weird. Looks like you're setting up for an actual Battle of the Bands. I got just the thing.” She got back into her car, only for it to suddenly transform into a small DJ stand with multiple speakers and lights.

“Wow. That’s one cool car.” Alex voiced everyone's thought.

In the midst of their song, Dazzlings appearance changes a bit as they grew webbed wings and long tales. When the Dazzlings reached the end of their chorus, both the Rainbooms and Foretellers started playing their song. Every one of them playing in harmony and putting all of their hearts into it. While they were playing, they could see the students started snapping out of the Dazzlings sway and looked in their direction.

“So the “Heroes” want to make this a real battle of the bands? Then let’s battle.” Adagio smirked as she and her sisters sung. Their eyes started to glow crimson red as their energy started to form into ethereal beings that resembled their full siren forms.

The ethereal sirens started circling around the heroes as they dove in for an attack. Both Rainbooms and Foretellers played their instruments with vigor, in hopes of fending holding their own. Unfortunately, they were overpowered by the Dazzlings sending a powerful sound attack that blew them off their feet. Lan and Sunset were the first to recover as the Sirens looked down at them like they had won. But hope did not leave their eyes as they stood defiantly against them.

Suddenly, Sunset’s guitar shifted into a mic stand, much like Lan’s. Without even a second of hesitation, the two of them knew what to do. While the others recovered Sunset began the next phase of the song until it became a duet with Lan. As the song went on the others began to get back into the groove of the song and were inning the climax, where everyone began to sing and it became a chorus. Their combined energies created a pillar of light that shot towards the sky forming a rainbow colored sphere.

The moment the song hit its climax, the sphered energy started forming into a humanoid ethereal titan that was holding a Keyblade. The titan pointed its Keyblade at the Dazzlings as energy charged at the point. The charged energy shot a beam towards the ethereal Sirens as they disintegrated, and engulfed the Dazzlings in the light as the whole concert hall shined.

(Song End)

The Dazzlings laid defeated on the stage floor. They struggled to get up, as they noticed that the gems on their chokers were now jet black as opposed to their ruby color.

As they sat up, they saw that they were surrounded by the Foretellers and Rainbooms.

“Adagio Dazzle, Sonata Dusk, Aria Blaze,” Lan announced. “You three have attempted to control the minds of not only the students of Canterlot High but also our Union members. Not only that, you have accepted the power of the Unversed from a well-known criminal. How do you plea?”

The Dazzlings lowered their heads in shame. There was a moment of silence between the groups before they heard a sniffle and saw tears fall from the Dazzlings leaders eyes.

“We just wanted to be adored.” She said weakly. Her sisters crawled up to her and comforted her.

“None of you wouldn’t understand. What it feels like to be demonized.” Aria said harshly. “Back in Equestria, all we wanted to do was sing and live our lives. But because of our powers, those damned ponies treated us like monsters!”

“When all we wanted to do is the one thing we loved,” Sonata said with tears of her own. “We only wanted to swim and sing. But when ships passed by, they were just entranced by our singing and got into accidents. We didn’t mean any harm, but the ponies didn’t see it that way. They thought that we were doing it on purpose. We tried moving from place to place, but it kept happening.”

“The final straw was when that bastard Star Swirl decided to get rid of us, without even giving us a chance to explain.” Adagio tightened her fist. “We were banished here to fend for ourselves in an unfamiliar world. They saw us as monsters, so we gave them monsters. We used our magic to control everyone to get our way, or what was left of it when we came to this world. All we wanted was to be adored for our music, we didn’t want to be monsters.”

The Foreteller’s and Rainboom’s listened intently to their tale. They felt pity for them. They were punished all because they wanted to do what they loved. They were misjudged and weren't even given a proper trial.

“We understand.” Kira knelt next to them. “You were wrongly accused, and punished for it. But that doesn’t excuse the crimes you committed today.”

“But that doesn’t mean there isn’t room for change,” Dan added.

Jenny nodded. “You weren’t villains all your lives, just wanting to do what you loved. You can go back to those time.”

“This time for fun, and not trying to take over the world.” Alex joked.

“You don’t have to be monsters, you can be one of us. If you are willing to accept our help and our friendship.” Lan finished as he extended his hand to them.

The Dazzlings started at the group with shock, “You’d accept us? Even for what we’ve done?”

Sunset walked up and placed her hand on Adagio’s shoulder. “Of course would. I used to be in your shoes before they held out they hand for me.”

“And now Sunset is one of our bestest of best friends!” Pinkie ran up and pulled Sunset into a hug.

“If they offer a helping hand, it means they see potential in you and that you can be more than this. It’s just how they are.” Rainbow quipped.

“But if you do accept, know that not everyone will forgive what you have done in an instant. It will take some time.” Rarity added.

Applejack agreed. “But if you keep at it, and show that you can do some good then no one can say otherwise.”

“You’ll be able to make friends, and finally be adored for your singing.” Fluttershy finished.

The Dazzlings were speechless. They saw both Foretellers and Rainbooms extending their hands to them, all with smiles on their faces. Ready to accept them, no hesitation was shown by any of them. They looked at each other for only a moment of hesitation, before reaching out. Until…

*ZAP!*

“AAAHHH!” The Unversed marks started to glow and fade from their skin, as dark energy started being emitted from their bodies violently.

“What happening?” AJ yelled as she and the others were struggling against the sudden burst of energy.

“The Unversed that’s been sealed in them must be forcing itself out because they lack the amount of negative energy! Just like what happened with Sunset!” Dan explained.

The energy around the Dazzlings started to merge together until it formed into a large Unversed. More specifically, the Symphony Master! The Dazzlings laid underneath it motionless as their bodies started to look unstable.

“Guess this is the boss battle, let’s get to it!” Jenny cheered. But as she tried to summon her Key-instrument, to her surprise her normal Ursus Keyblades appeared. The same could be said for the others as they got battle ready.

“Look’s like it’s back to our regular blades, and I was getting used to rocking out kicking ass at the same time.” Rainbow quipped.

“But this stage is hardly the right battle field. We should fight somewhere with a little more style. Kira?” Alex smirked as he motioned to Kira, who matched his smirk.

“I’m all over it!” Kira cheered as she pulled out a card that had the Spirit Dream Eater insignia on it. “I Cast: Marble Ballroom!”

The card started to shine as brightly as the light engulfed the whole area. When the light died down, the area around them was replaced with a regal looking ballroom that was large enough to fight in.

“Oh, my! What a fantastic ballroom! It looks like it is straight out of a fairy tale!” Rarity gushed over the new terrain.

The Rainbooms looked at the new field in amazement.

“This is what you’ve been working on lately?” Fluttershy asked.

“Yup! They're called Dream Fields, this one doesn’t have any field advantages though. I just cast it so we could get away from the crowd.” Kira explained.

“Focus everyone. We need to get the Dazzlings away from the Unversed, then we can take it down. We must hurry though, the longer we take the more their bodies get unstable.” Lan ordered. The others agreed and prepared for the incoming Unversed.

The Symphony Master raised its baton as several Unversed sprouted from the ground forming several millions of instruments. Drums tapped out a small timbre while the horn instruments wailed a cacophony of wails before he faced the group. Tapping out a small three beat signal the Master waved his baton as several of the instruments started to play something fitting for the battle ahead.

“Didn’t expect that. With a wall like that, we won’t be able to get near it, let alone get the Dazzlings out of the fray. We need to spread out, divide its attention.” Dan said. The others agreed as they split into their specific groups.

Energy waves came off the trumpets striking at the Foretellers knocking them back from the shock waves. The drums actually started to roll after them growing spikes and tearing apart the very terrain. As a few of the Foretellers got close the string instruments screeched out loud causing another wave of sonic sounds to disorient them from getting closer.

Sunset and the Rainbooms stood defensively in front of them. “We’ll take care of the horde. Once the path is clear go for it!” Sunset said.

With a wave of their arms, the Rainbooms flew into action striking at the drums and knocking them off the path while the Trumpets chased after them. It took several minutes before a path managed to open up and allow the Foretellers to charge against the Master himself.

It raised the baton as several of the string instruments cut their own strings and let the razor thin wires tear apart the environment. Dan and Alex were forced to take charge keeping the strings from striking while Lan, Jenny, and Kira moved forward as the Symphony Master took the main thread and charged the three down.

Lan went up first forced to face a rapier like a baton as it charged forward trying to spear him while Jenny and Kira tried to strike back. Several instruments kept them from striking out at their master. Lan was knocked away with a sudden backhand while he parried off another strike. Jenny broke through the line managing to get Kira through as well. The two managed to knock back the Symphony Master getting a game of Ping Pong between the two.

While this was happening, the three male Foretellers could be seen swooping in right behind the Symphony Master. Each of them taking one of the unconscious Dazzlings and carried them away from the battlefield.

“We got them! Finish it, we’ll help the others keep the horde off of you.” Alex yelled as he and the other guys retreated with the Dazzlings on their backs.

As she finished her little taunt it caught Jenny by the throat knocking her into the ground and trying to stab her through the face with the baton. Kira jumped in using several spells to knock the Master off letting Jenny go as she tackled the Unversed off to the side. It knocked her off but the spells still took effect keeping it stunned from the sudden shock.

“We have to finish this! If it drags this on any longer they’ll fade!” Jenny recovered.

Jenny came in knocking the Symphony Master back while Kira started firing off spells left and right nearly incinerating and freezing several of the smaller Unversed were knocked off into non-existence. The Symphony Master tapped his baton against the ground changing colors and increasing in speed. The red tone made it faster tearing through lesser Unversed as it pushed Jenny into the ground forcing her to skid along the ground by her back.

Kira charged in jumping above and stabbing the Symphony Master through the face using its own momentum to get the blade further into the Unversed. With a quick flick of her wrist, she tore the face off of it. It didn’t actually do anything tangible but the Symphony Master was knocked off the path giving Kira a chance to fire off more spells.

The Symphony Master immediately turned green. The magic that struck it was immediately absorbed into its body. Kira immediately stepped back when she saw that it could absorb the magic. Jenny rushed in finally getting her second wind as she sent a flurry of strikes knocking the Master around especially well as it took more damage. She knocked the Unversed towards Kira who took a baseball stance and knocked the Symphony Master back into the air. It changed the color back to its original blue.

“Not this time. You’ve played your last song! Jenny set me up!” Kira ordered.

Jenny grabbed Kira and spun her around before throwing her up into the air. Keeping her food down she began to spin around like a razor top. With her mastery of magic, she put as many spells on her blade as it immediately touched the Symphony Master tearing through it with laser precision as it screamed out loud the Symphony Master fell to her blade.

Symphony Master, as well as the other Unversed, started to fade from existence. At the same time, the Dazzlings bodies stopped its unstable pulsing.

“Whew, that took some work,” Jenny said wiping the sweat from her brow, before bringing Kira into a side hug. “You really went to work on this one squirt.”

Their friends approached them, along with the unconscious Dazzlings.

“She’s right Kira, you are the hero of this story,” Alex said ruffling her hair.

Dan nodded, “Not only did you snap us out of the Dazzlings spell, but you and Jenny finished off the Symphony Master.”

“You rocked it girl!”

“I’m gonna back you the biggest cake as congratulations/thank you for breaking the curse.” Rainbow, Pinkie and the other Rainbooms complimented her like the rest.

Kira smirked as she puffed out her chest proudly. “Haha! That’s right, I was awesome. Praise me more!”

*Bonk!*

“Ahh!”

Lan bopped his fist on top his little sister's head. “Now don’t get a big head over this little sis.” She nodded while clutching her head in pain with an anime tear running down her eye. Lan then started to pat her head, “But you did do great Kira.”

She smiled at her brothers praise. “Alright then, well we should probably get back to the concert hall.” She raised her hand in the air as light gathered in her palm. The area around them started to shine until everything was coated in the light.

The light died down and revealed they were back in the concert hall. The audience saw their return and applaud them. Not only for their victory but their performance from before as well. As they were about to leave the stage, the audience cheered louder chanting ‘encore!’

“They want an encore? But we don’t have our instruments anymore.” Kira said. But on cue, their Keyblades changed into their instrument form once more. “Oh, looks like our Keyblades are up for an encore, what about all of you?”

With only a moment's hesitation, they all nodded yes.

“Alright, last song of the night. Let’s rock it!” Lan announced as they set the Dazzlings aside.

The next morning at Foreteller Mansion, the FIve Foretellers were gathered around the dining room table eating breakfast.

“Hah~ Yesterday sure was exhausting.” Kira sighed taking a bite of her toast.

Alex nodded taking a sip of his coffee. “Well, we’ll probably have some R&R for a while. There is always a bit of a time gap in our adventures.”

Suddenly, they felt a huge spike of energy all around them. But it didn’t feel like it was coming from their world, but another reflection entirely.

“You just had to say it didn’t you?” Jenny said irritated.

Reluctantly, the Foretellers mobilized to investigate the sudden energy spike.

Too Many Questions

The Foretellers, all donned in their armors, were riding their Key-beasts through the dimensional gap. Once they felt the surge of energy back in their world they knew they had to rush to find out what it was.

“Are we even sure we’re going the right way?” Jenny asked.

“Just keep following the fluxing energy. I’m pretty sure we’re getting close by how strong it’s getting.” Dan replied.

“Look! World incoming!” Kira shouted. She pointed towards the world they were closing in on. It looked like half was a lush world with a green forest and rainbows, while the other half was a barren, burnt waste.

“Alright everyone, we don't know what to expect so be on your guard,” Lan ordered. The others nodded as they entered the world’s gate.

(Inside the world)

Above the deep green forest, the sky started to crack as a portal appeared. Out of it, came the Foretellers riding through. They soon landed in a clearing and dispelled their key-beasts.

“So this is the place?” Alex asked. “It doesn’t look like there’s much going on.”

“This is where the energy fluxes lead us. There must be something or someone causing it. We’ll just have to search for a bit.” Dan argued.

“You won’t have to look far.”

Suddenly, Crow appeared stepping out of a portal that looked similar to the Door to Darkness.

“Crow!” They all summoned their Keyblades and through their guard up.

“What are you doing here? Did you lure us here?”

Crow laughed. “Sadly no, I wasn’t what drew you here. Something big is about to happen, but sadly I'm here with you losers. I was told to keep you occupied for the time being”

“You really think you can take on all five of us?” Dan taunted “We’ve only gotten stronger since last we met, and we outnumber you.”

“You’re not the only ones that have gotten stronger,” Crow replied while summoning his own Keyblade. “And outnumbered? I don’t think so.” He snapped his fingers making four other portals open at his sides. Who walked out we just a random assortment of people they had never seen before, who were also wielding either some type of gun or knife. There were two men and two women that all looked pretty generic. They all had similar qualities in appearances like brown hair and eyes. But what's strange was that they had numbers tattooed on their skin. Then men had the numbers 110 and 109 on their shoulders, and the women had the numbers 108 and 107 on their foreheads.

“These are just clones of the Ventrals. Since the real once went rouge we have to use these cheap knockoffs. But these should be more than enough to beat you.” Crow taunted.

“We’ll see about that, but we’re fighting on our own terms!” Lan pulled out another Dream Card. “I Cast: Dawn of Daybreak!”

Light surrounded both groups until they couldn’t see each other.

When the light died down, it revealed only Crow and Lan standing to face each other. They were both standing in the center of the Square of Daybreak Town.

“Neat trick, but you really think splitting up was a good idea? You don’t know how strong my minions are.” Crow warned, and he readied his Keyblade.

“I could say the same about us. We aren’t those weak little kids anymore Crow, we’ve grown strong. Stronger than you could ever be with Core.” Lan replied, readying his own Keyblade.

“We’ll see about that!”

*Clank!*

Dan and 109 were locked in combat, each trying to outmatch each other.

“I may just be a clone, but I’m more than a match for one kid.” 109 said as he swung his machete at Dan, but he missed as Dan flipped away.

Dan smirked under his helmet, “I find that highly unlikely. I can already tell that you’re just the basic underling. Coupled with the fact that you are in this Dream Field with us, your defeat is all but set in stone.”

“Oh yeah? What’s so special about a change in scenery?” 107 asked Alex, who were having a similar scuffle and conversation. The two of them were fighting on top of one of the multiple buildings of Daybreak Town.

“Well if your boss even bothered to give you a history lesson, you would know that we’re in Daybreak Town. The world that we lead in our past lives.” Alex charged straight towards her and knocked her back, which made her fall onto the streets. “So not only do we know every inch of this place, but we created the Dream Field to increase the strength and magic of us Foretellers and our Union members. You’re on our turf now.”

107 started shooting her machine gun, hoping to hit him. But the Leopard speedster was too fast for her. He continued to evade her bullets until he decided to duck into a nearby alleyway.

Not wanting to lose him she gave pursuit. She swiftly ran down the alleyway but was confused when she didn’t see a single trace of him.

“Looking for someone?”

Before she could even turn around, Alex delivered a swift, lightning-charged strike from behind. 107 dropped her gun, and her body reverted back into a Castle Oblivion Card with her image on it.

“What I tell ya? Out turf.”

110 and Kira were also engaged in battle, taking place in the lush garden directly in the center of Daybreak Town.

“Little girl, you do not belong on the battlefield. Real warriors like myself should be the only ones fighting, not you children. This won’t even be a challenge.” 110 spoke in what sounded like a Russian accent, pointing his knife at her.

Kira let out a small growl. “Underestimating me and my family will be the last mistake you’ll ever make!” She pierced the ground with her Keyblade, sending green energy through the terrain. Gigantic vines sprouted from the ground and wrapped themselves around 110.

“Hah!”

*Klank!*

108 and Jenny locked their blades together, 108 with her Katana and Jenny with her Keyblade. Sparks flew off their blades as they tried to overpower each other.

“You will fall to my strength. Master Core made us more than just clones of our original selves. So much more than a weak human that only has a touch of power.” 108 finally broke the deadlock and quickly slashed at Jenny with a darkness charged katana.

“That’s where you’re wrong,” Jenny said before the Katana made contact.

108’s katana cleaved right through Jenny cutting her in half, or so she thought. Jenny’s body then suddenly burst into a cluster of shadows and bats. They all flew past 108 and disorientated her. From behind the bats and shadows gathered, and melded into the whole form of Jenny along with her pony ears and tail and her vampire fangs. She stabbed straight through 108’s body, making her revert into a Castle of Oblivion card.

“I’m a child of THE fuck mothering vampire.” She taunted with a smirk.

“Wind Raid!”

“Dark Haze!”

Lan and Crow’s attacks clashed together in an explosion of wind and black mist. The two of them have been trading blows back and forth since the beginning of the battle. Neither one giving into the other. Pushing each other back after the last deadlock they both stood across from each other.

“Well look at that, you have gotten stronger. It makes this all the more interesting.” Crow smirked, preparing for another clash.

“What do we have to do to end this fighting?” Lan said, almost pleadingly.

“What the hell are you saying?”

“Crow, we want you to be our brother again. I know for a fact that when you were whole, you wanted to be with us again.”

“That was when I was weak and my light side was blinding me!” Crow yelled. “Master Crow gave me the power to finally get you back for what you did to me! Like I would still care for a family who abandoned me!”

“I know for a fact that that isn’t true! You had a chance to destroy us when we first met, and yet you left us. Same with the Fall Formal, and the Laboratory, you had every chance to destroy us and yet you didn’t. Why!?”

Crow’s expression wavered a bit. “That’s only because Master Core called me back before I could finish the job.”

“I don’t believe that!” Kira’s voice suddenly shouted. Suddenly, the other Foretellers appeared next to their leader, all battle ready.

“You keep saying that Crow, but we all know the truth!” Jenny said.

Dan nodded in agreement, “Agreed. We all know what you truly feel. You want to be with us again, just as much as we want you to be our friend again.”

“We can be a family again Crow, just like old time. Just ditch Core and repent for what you’ve done.” Alex pleaded.

Crow’s face looked pretty distraught showing actual thought until it quickly turned to anger.

“Shut the hell up! You don’t know anything about me! All I care about is sending you all straight to hell! And now that you’re all here I can finally show the roots of MY training.”

*FWOOOM!*

A sudden wave of negative energy kicked up a gust of wind. Crow was surrounded by a thick aura of Negative energy both emitting from him and his Keyblade.

“Now, let’s so what you’re made of!” Crow prepared to charge straight at the Foretellers until another wave of energy that was similar to the one that leads them there started to flux. Even more powerful this time. Crow let out a low growl before facing the Foretellers once again. “Looks like my time is up. Consider yourselves lucky I’m under orders.” With that said. Crow opened another portal and vanished.

The Foretellers looked at each other confused.

“What the hell was that?” Jenny asked. “He let out a huge amount of energy and just took off. And what was that pulse just now?”

“I’m not sure, but Crow doesn’t seem to be important at the moment,” Lan replied as he dropped the dream field. “We need to do what we came here to do, and find out where the power flux is coming from.”

“Maybe I can be of assistance.”

The Foretellers turned around and saw a figure in a familiar looking outfit. It looked like the outfit that Corvo from Dishonored wore, but the mask was a little different. They felt a power familiar to what they have been sensing, but colder and more controlled.

“Greetings Foretellers. Nice to meet the reincarnation of the original. Not as strong though, but getting there.” The figure said.

That all put up their guard. “Who are you? And how do you know who were are?” Lan asked cautiously. The figure suddenly disappeared. Everyone was looking everywhere for him. Everyone except Lan. Because his instincts were screaming at him not to move. “I know more than you think Lan.” it was right behind him.

In that instant, Lan turned around and tried to strike the figure, only for it to suddenly disappear once more. They all jumped back in fright and shock, trying to find where it went.

Kira looked around till she saw him sitting and a small Boulder away from them. “Hello Kira. You look so much like Ava. Wonder how he will react? Although he would have to remember his past life for that.” He chuckles.

“What are you talking about? Who are you!?” She yelled, getting tired of the back and forth.

“You five don't think you're the only reincarnations from the war do you? There is another, and the original Foretellers know him well.”

“Someone else… from our past lives?” Dan said cautiously. “And what do you mean he knows us? Who?”

“He was once a member of the Unicornis Union...as well as a Dandelion. Till you guys killed him.” He laughed after he said that.

The five of them recoiled at what he said, but they weren’t surprised at this. They were once the reason why the war broke out, it isn’t that shocking to hear that their past selves had killed.

“Although he didn't go down easy. He fought all of you at once and held his own. He took off Aced’s arm even as well as nearly kill Ira, but it was five on one so it was expected he would die. Although I should be thankful for you guys killing him. If you didn't kill him when you did, I wouldn't be here.” He said.

“Why are you telling us this? And you still haven’t told us why you’re here.” Jenny yelled.

He appeared in front of her and then tapped her stomach. Jenny then coughs up blood and fell down. “You should control that temper, never know when you might piss off someone that can kill you?” It laughed. They never even saw him move.

“Stay away from her!” Kira stood in front of her sister definitely. “And her questions still stand. Are you our enemy? Why are you telling us this!?”

It shrugged. “I just wanted to meet the next Council of Dreams.” It said. “Just telling you, when you meet John and see his face. Don't be surprised if memories of your past life unlock.”

“Council? Do you mean us? And what does Council of Dreams mean? And John? Nothing you’re saying makes any sense.” Lan argued back.

It laughed. It was enjoying this and they knew it. “All will be explained later. John is fighting Core, and unless Core wants to die he better use everything he has.” It held its hand out and it showed images. They saw...what looks like a demon from nightmares fighting a dark knight of some kind.

“That’s them?” Alex asked. “That’s the power flux we’ve been feeling all the way from our world? I know the ugly one is Core, so the other is John?”

It laughed. “No idiot, Core is the black armor. John ended up tapping into about 2% of my power and turned into that. He has no control and only wants to violently kill Core.”

“Well with all that’s been going on it's hard to tell who’s the bad guy nowadays,” Alex said before he realized something. “Wait, you said your power. What are you?”

“First off don't worry about John. He is on your side. As for me...all will be revealed in time.” It said. The images now show Core taking on another form. He looked like a child covered in darkness. He and John are back on the ground. “So Core is using Sin now. Well seems like John lost. If he had control Sin wouldn't win but he doesn't.”

The Foretellers looked at each other for a moment, “If he’s a friend, then we can’t just leave him hanging. We gotta go back him up if Core’s involved.” Jenny said, and the others agreed.

“I wouldn't if I were you. Core is at his full power now. None of you stand the slightest chance of even scratching him. John put up a good fight but he won't die that easy. Core will most likely let him live out of gratitude for “helping” him complete his plans.” It said putting air quotes on helping. Confusing the Foretellers.

“You speak as if we’re fighting individually, but we’re a team. Maybe divided we won’t have a change, but together we can make miracles happen.” Dan argued.

“And if there is a potential ally in trouble we won’t hesitate to help,” Kira said, surprisingly serious.

Alex chimed in, “But what do you mean ‘Helping out?’ What’s Core planning.”

“He wants to make a darkness and Void version of the X-blade. He needs Void. He got it from John...by ripping off his left hand.” It said.

They all looked shocked at what the figure said.

“Not to mention they almost ruined Equis when Core and Hollow battled. John has reason to hate Core...as well as himself. He originally asked for his powers because he thought they were cool. He blames himself because his childish interest will possibly lead to the end of every-” It suddenly stopped. It quickly brought back the images and saw John out of his demon for standing in front of Core. John said something and then hit Core in the chest with something. The figure before them suddenly started laughing very hard.

“HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Well, let's see how you get out of this Core!! Fail and she'll erase you for good hahaha!” It continued to laugh. Freaking out the others.

“Umm…” They all hummed in confusion.

“To put it simply that attack is called Void Extinction. It erases anything it hits. John shouldn't be able to use it and I don't know it. That belongs to something else. If Core survives this then I'll be impressed.”

Jenny sighed. “Look buddy. Not that it isn’t fun to talk back and forth with you, but we got to go. You wanna wrap up whatever you want to say?”

All of a sudden a massive blast of Darkness appeared in the distance. The figure looked at it and chuckled. “Well I guess I took up enough of your time. That fight is over. I'll open a portal to there.” It held its hand out and a portal appeared. “John, you guys, Ben. All of you are destined for great things. Your stories are just beginning. Have fun. We’ talk again soon when the others are together. Till then Council of Dreams.” It then disappeared.

When it disappeared, they all let out a collective sigh of relief.

“Finally he’s gone. He was giving me a headache.” Dan said rubbing his temples.

Jenny fell to her knees, still feeling the pain the figure caused her.

“Jenny! I’ll help you.” Kira offered before casting a Curaga spell on her sister. After a moment, Jenny stood back up looking at full health again.

“Thanks, squirt. Vampire healing is a bit slower than I thought.” She thanked her younger sister. She then gazed at the portal. “And that guy was weird as hell. He gave us more questions than answers. Can we really trust him that this portal will actually take us where we need to go?”

Lan sighed, understanding his sister's reluctance. “I agree with you there. But right now we need to get there fast, and I don’t think our Key-beasts are gonna cut it at that moment. We have to take the chance.”

The others hesitated but agreed with their leaders. Reluctantly, they all walked through the portal.

(With Crow)

Crow was walking through the streets of Equestria Town muttering to himself. What his former friends said really got to him.

“I’ll show them, all of them. They will pay for what they’ve done. But first…” He stopped his walking and looked up to a building. It was another school that looked more like a Victorian castle. The sign out front read “Crystal Prep.”

“I need my own ‘Union.” Was all he said before walking towards the school.

Author's Note

What is up, everybody!?

Well as you read here this is the beginning of another Xross chapter. This time I'm Xrossing with on of my good friends and also a member of Broken Barriers, Deathwatch456. You can find his story our group page Broken Barriers: Defenders of the Multivers or just click this like HERE!

Well that's all for this one folks.

Like, Fav, Follow and all that stuff.

Peace out!

Xross: The Dishonored!

Ben and Joy ran towards the increasing or ending fight, the two so focused on trying to figure out how to stop this they didn't notice grey sparks crackling around them. “I'm pretty sure we're over our heads on this one.” Joy says worriedly.

“Like all the other time's right?” Ben jokes lightly, knowing they're fucked sideways if they actually got caught in the crossfire.

As the two continued onwards, a light appeared behind them. Turning around, they saw Zeke walking out of a DTL, holding the Kingdom Key D. “Sup, long time no see.” Zeke said as he approached the two.

“Sup Zeke, how you doing?” Ben asks, holding Frozen Pride and Reunion.

“Hopefully not as weirded out as us though,” Joy says, Lindworm surrounding him at the ready.

“Was just practicing with darkness when felt that spike. Cript gave me the a...unique ability, a sort of gift since we’re apparently reflections.”

“Did I mention I met another reflection of yours that got your wish of ‘What would happen if I could get the hell out of my family’?” Ben asks him.

“Really? Huh. Well, the big universe I guess.”

“Pretty much.” Joy shrugged.

“So, see anything?”

“Besides meeting the people of this Equestria, fucked up, by the way, seeing Core and apparently John fighting, and apparently my parents murderer about to make a child from my blood and most likely hers…” Ben explains offhandedly

“It's...weird.” Joy sighs out.

“...What would pregnancy via blood be called?” Zeke questioned aloud, making Ben and Joy fall over anime style.

“Jesus fucking Christ Zeke.” Ben sighs out.

“Listen, we're going to have to find her within 5 years anyways.” Joy says. “She’s apparently going to die then.”

“...Okay...Good luck with that, till then, Let’s go find Core and John.” Zeke said, walking ahead.

Next, to them, another portal opened and out walked the Foretellers.

Kira smile, “Oh, hey guys! Looks like we aren't the only ones here.”

“You smell like ponies and vampires…” Joy starts.

“Alushy?” Ben asks the Foretellers, remembering he saw something in his assistant about them. “And uh...Kira lost...should I even ask?”

“It’s a long story,” Kira said sheepishly.

“So I’m guessing we’re headed to the same place?” Jenny guessed.

“Seems so, also Lan, you finally make that connection ya thick headed idjit?” Zeke asked, tapping the tip of Kingdom Key D against his head to emphasize the question.

Lan blushed. “I will not admit, or deny anything.” He pouted and crossed his arms.

“That blush says it all...also how does a vampire blush?”

Dan interjects. “Well, we’re technically still alive due to the pony side, just vampire characteristics. Everything is still functioning normally. Except for the craving for tomato juice from time to time.” he explained. “Anyways. Let’s get to the real reason why we are all here.”

“Yes, Core and John fighting,” Ben states, the others noticing grey static around himself and Joy. “So, who's got a plan for stopping two people that are way above anything we can do at the moment?”

“
A figure that to Zeke looked like John appeared before them, but somehow he could tell that wasn't John.

“Do I know you, Demon John?” Zeke asked.

It
spoke

“You're the Void Emperor...or...old Emperor…” Ben says, shaking his head to get some sort of sense in his head. “It's saying...it’s good to see you again, even though my hairs,” Ben says, taking a deep breath at that.

”You too old friend. Don't worry I won't hurt your heirs.” It spoke. “I believe I haven't introduced myself yet. I...am Jar’Mudan. The previous Emperor of Void.” The now named Jar introduced.

Joy fell to his knees, energy crackling off him at an insane rate. “Ow...the fuck is going on?” Joy asks, pain obvious in his voice.

“Basically your Nothingness is reacting to all the pure raw Void. Void and Nothingness are basically polar opposites. Similar to light and darkness. You two are still novices especially you Joy, so it's causing great discomfort.”

“I...suppose,” Joy says, getting up and fighting through the discomfort.

“So...know who the hell is stuck in my head kind of?” Ben asks. “And why I see this weird Nobody I've never seen nor heard of before?” He asks.

Jar focused for a second then spoke in a lighter tone. “That would be a Royal Guard class nobody. A Paladin.”

“Huh...that's something.” Ben frowned.

“You learn something new every day.” Joy adds. “Anyone else got a say in this news?”

“I think we’d rather get to the point,” Dan said. “What were you saying before Jar?”

“I spoke of many things. Which do you mean?” Jar said. They could somehow tell he was smirking.

“About the fight is over. What happened?” Lan asked.

“Well you know how a bit of it went. John tapped into to 2% of my power and nearly killed Core-

“AFTER!”

”Hehe ok. Core used a final trump card to keep himself from being erased. John's still alive although unconscious and Core lost most of his power. Allow me to take you there.” Jar snapped his fingers and the next thing they knew they were at a huge crater. It looked like a mountain could fit in it. Hey saw Core and who they suspect to be John at the bottom with Core looking right at them.

“Oh damn it,” Core muttered, summoning a black Fenrir. “You “heroes” are like roaches.”

“Is it because we keep coming back or because you suck balls at killing us?” Ben asks simply, seeing Core through his ‘hud’ and knowing Core was horrifically weaker but still powerful enough to continue fighting,

“My mistake then.” He slashed his black Fenrir, sending a wave of dark energy at them. They all brought out their Keyblades quickly and blocked it. “Damn,” Core muttered, readying himself.

“Hastega!” Ben and Joy say, golden clocks appearing behind the two of them and all their friends, their speed doubling suddenly. “Now, let's get going,” Ben states while summoning Skysplitter and going into his Master form as well. “Grave!” Ben shouts, raising the earth weapon high as spikes of earth shot out at Core quickly.

“Hey watch it! You nearly hit my heir!” Jar said holding John. He then proceeded to lay him down.

“No place for an unconscious man,” Zeke said, summoning the X-blade and rushing at Core, the two locking blades. “So, the word is you’re a tad on the limp side right now Core, what’s the matter? Can’t play with the big boys?”

“In time.” Core said, vanishing then reappearing behind Zeke, spin kicking him across the ground.

Lan turned to his siblings. “Well, no reason to just stand around here.” He said, with his siblings agreeing. They all activated their armors and rushed to their friend's sides.

Lan and Jenny rushed towards Core in a pincer-like formation. Lan clashed his Unicornis with Core’s Fenrir making it a standstill, only to have Jenny on Core’s other side slashing at him. Core managed to break his lock with Lan to just narrowly avoid being hit, only to step on a suddenly frozen ground. Not too far away, Dan was seen with his Anguis stabbed into the ground, which froze it. Core tried to move, but couldn’t as his feet were also frozen in the ground. Suddenly in a flash of lightning speed, Alex skated across the frozen land gaining momentum. Once he got close enough, Alex delivered an electricity charged slash to Core’s abdomen. Breaking him out of the ice and sending him flying back.

“You lot...have no idea…” Core was muttering as he got back up from the small crater the impact after flying back made. “What you are doing.” He finished, getting back up.

“Hey Core ever wonder what it felt like to be a ping pong ball!?” Ben shouts at him randomly.

“Well here's how it feels!” Joy adds while Ben ramming Skysplitter into Cores stomach and sending him flying, Joy moving Lindworm in a way to basically make it a spiked fist and punching Core straight back at Ben, and it kept going like that except it kept getting faster and much more painful for Core. Joy smacked Core up into the air, only for Ben to appear above Core quickly.

“Gigaton Hammer!” Ben shouted, Skysplitter glowing a bright orange and ramming down into Cores chest, shooting the ‘demon’ straight into the ground and causing a massive crater on impact.

Core rose up. Blood from deep gashes dripped from his head and arms. “Fine...Let’s do this the hard way.” He said, slicing his chest open and grabbing the pure darkness where his heart should be. Shockwaves of darkness cracked the land, darkened the sky, and Core stood looking healed, only to pull out a vile of blood...or so it looked. “Look familiar Zeke!?”

Zeke’s eyes widened. “That’s...the Psychopath blood that was on me…”

“Yeah. Refining it to work with me isn’t a cakewalk. Still not even a percent to done, but…” He then broke the lid off and drink it, tossing the empty vial. “I will last enough to kill you all.” Power surged from Core, red energy flowing around him like a small tornado. After a time, it settled, and his eyes were that of a Psychopaths.

“Well…” Ben starts.

“That's not good.” Joy finishes.

“Not for you guys no.” Jar said watching Core change.

“And not good for you because John could die in the crossfire.” Joy points out.

“Have a plan for that.” He said walking over to John and placing a hand on his chest.

“I’ve been in that…things head.” Zeke said, staying defensive. “It’ll attack one of us at random.”

“Correct, but not if someone strong enough fights first.” Jar said as his hand started glowing brightly, covering John in a protective bubble.

“Flashy,” Core spoke, his voice like countless talking in unison as he rushed forward, elbowing Joy and sending him flying, blood spilling from his mouth as he then grabbed Lan and flung him high into the air.

Kira tried to attack, only for him to vanish before her swing made contact. He reappeared behind her, hammerfisting her into the ground, her head still sticking out of the ground almost comically as blood flowed from a newly acquired gash.

“Shouldn't have done that.” Jar said as the light covering John got brighter and brighter.

“Hehehehhe, it’s cute how you think Core is calling these shots Jar.” Psychopath said, appearing in front of him. “Even in this pathetic body pathetic body, we can do you some damage.”

“Who said I thought that was Core? I sensed you the millisecond Core drank that stuff.” Jar said. As the light started fading.

“Heh, whatever you say, old king.” Psychopath said, suddenly appearing behind Jar...holding both his ripped off arms. The strange blood of Jar’s not even spilling out until some time after the pain registered.

Jar looked at both spots and just laughed. “You seem to forget that pain doesn't bother me. Not after what happened to me of course. Besides not much, I can do now. My friend here is enough to your current self.”

“Hehe, and you forget, those old legends about your blood.” Psychopath then ate one of the arms wholes, the other all the blood flowing out and becoming a black-red blade as the skin and bone that was left behind was tossed. “Always so hard to find it. Drink it, live eternally, or in this body’s case, a few more hours, or forge it. A weapon to match all others.”

Jar not even fazed just sighed. “What? In the name of all the crack crazy admins makes you think I don't know my own blood? Besides, that's temporary anyway. Doppelganger here. So it's going to disappear in a few minutes, and again even with that this guy can take you.” Jar tilted his head towards a figure nearby that wasn't there before.

“Core, or us?” Psycho asked, rushing and locking blades with Zeke. “Hehe, the last parallel of Cript, how similar you two are, yet you will fall to your rightful place soon.”

“Burn in hell!” Zeke yelled, breaking the lock and took a swing, Psycho vanishing and appearing next to Ben, who he Sparta kicked across the field and into Canterlot Mountain. “You alright Ben?!”

“Maximise Magic! Reality Slash!” Ben shouts, something hitting the Psychopath from behind and feeling like he was being split in half from a very weak reality shifting standpoint. “Thank Christ for card clones,” Ben says while holding my book weapon and looking perfectly fine, Cores injury shifting back to normal but blood seeping out of the wound.

Zeke sighed in relief. In the corner of his eye, he saw something moving. Fast. He looked, seeing a rather pissed off looking Joy wielding Graceful Dahlia. From above, Lan was performing a drop attack, trying to surprise Psychopath. Psycho caught Lan’s attack by his Keyblade, but Joy managed to land a blow that sent him a few feet. “Crimson Bouquet,” Joy says, his attack absorbing the psychopath's blood before blood-soaked lotus flowers bloomed on his wound and started tearing into him, the more blood the flowers soaked up, the stronger the effect worked.

“Hehe, weak body lives,” Psycho said as the eyes became normal again.

Core regained control. “What? No, No, no!” He then looked over at Joy. “DIE MUTT!” He shouted, slicing off his own arm and the darkness then flowed out formed a black scythe. Before He got close, Zeke jumped in front of him, his right hand pulsating with darkness.

He charged at Core, his hand phasing into Core’s chest. “Consume Darkness!” Black lines highlighted both Core’s and Zeke’s bodies, the two screaming in pain as it looked like Zeke’s arm was pumping all of Core’s darkness into his own body. When he pulled out, a shockwave ripped the ground up and knocked the others over.

“Shit, Zeke!” Ben shouted, getting up after the explosion happened. “Zeke?” He calls out, readying himself for what's to come next.

“Grah.” Zeke huffed, lifting himself out of a dirt pile. “I’m alive...surprisingly.” He said, looking at his hand. “That was...creepy feeling.”

“Gah! NO!” They all turned, eyes wide. Core stood across from them, dressed in ragged cloth clothing. His eyes looked...human. “You...I’m just a Nobody again!?”

“Yes, you are.” Ben nodded, Joy using Graceful Dahlia to fully absorb the other lotus petals that were filled with Psychopath Blood, the scythe absorbing any and all blood so no one else could use it for damnable reasons. “So ready to give up and die with some dignity?” Ben growled.

Core just looked furious. “I may not be a demon anymore...But you forget even in this form I have some tricks.” Core said, snapping his fingers as three Twilight Thorns appeared, each sideswiping and distracting them as Core adorned a purple cloak, and walked into a DTD.

“Shit!” Ben and Joy yelp, before hearing someone tell the two to try and command them. “Halt!” Ben and Joy shout at the three nobodies, hoping that their order would stop them, which they highly doubted from how the day was going,

To their relief, it worked as the stood still. The two waves, the Twilight Thorns disbanding. By then it was too late. Core was gone. “Shit…” Zeke muttered, taking a seat on a large rock. “...does this count as a win or...a tie?”

Ben growled, looking around. “I know there's more of you! Come on out!” Ben barks out at no one. “It’s not done yet, I just know it.

“Ben! It’s over! We...tied, I think?” Zeke said, sighing. “Core will be back, but at least he’s a lot weaker now. We can call this into the others and- GAH!” Zeke yelled, falling off his rock and clutching his chest.

“Well then. That's not good.” Jar said as he and a figure near him turned towards Zeke.

“Something's not right…” Ben mutters while Joy rushes over to Zeke and checks over him quickly, using his assistant to help out on that.

“Grah! Damn this hurts!” Zeke yelled, his body suddenly pulsing white and dark.

“That kinda happens when you absorb that much darkness. Not to mention your a balanced heart. So ya while you weakened Core you probably might kill yourself. At best. Jar told Zeke.

“His Heart is splitting!” X warned. “RUN!”

“And that's our cue. I'll grab Ben and the pup. You grab the Foretellers.” Jar said quickly grabbed both Ben and Joy while the figure got the Foretellers and got out of there before something happens.

When they were far enough away, an explosion ripped the ground up. A dome of Light and Darkness swirled around for what felt like hours before it settled. In a newly formed crater’s center was a pulsating form of darkness, and a glowing form of light.

“Zeke?” Ben asked, he and Joy running over and jumping in and sliding down the crater.

The two saw...Two Zekes, one in night black clothing with Steel grey hair, and the other in Bright bright white clothing with pure blond hair rather than Zeke’s regular dirty blond after his hair dye finally washed out.

“Well that can't be good. You better go help out. I'm talking to you Foretellers to by the way.” Jar said.

“Zeke...s?” Joy asked, both getting up groggily.

“Ouch...my neck.” The dark-haired Zeke said.

“Don’t be so competent brother.” The light haired Zeke said.

“Speak for yourself, I am the one that took in all that darkness.” The dark haired one retorted.

“Okay...who, what?” Ben asked. “Okay, first off, names. What are we calling you two till we can get Zeke back.” Ben asked.

“Drazke.” The dark haired one said.

“Lake.” The blond one said.

“Don't see this every day.” The figure said next to Ben and Joy. “And I've seen a lot.”

“Well, didn’t see that coming,” Alex commented, with him and his siblings entering the scene.

“Anyone see where that arm went?” Drake asked, wondering around looking for Core’s arm where the blood blossoms were still somewhat attached.

“Over there.” The figure said pointing at the arm a couple yards away. The others just now noticing him.

“Thanks,” Drazke said, heading over to grab it.

Lake, for his part, went up to Kira. “Oh, you poor child. Does that gash hurt?”

Kira rubbed the back of her neck sheepishly. “A little, but a little vampire healing and a cure spell and it’ll be all fine.”

The figure suddenly pointed a Keyblade at Kira’s gash and said. “Cura.” He healed up her gash.

“Oh, thanks whoever you are. So what's going on here?” She asked wanting an update.

“I am Lake, Zeke’s light half,” Lake explained. “The dark-haired me getting that arm is Drazke, my brother and Zeke’s dark half.”

“So you are the two halves of his heart?” Lan interjected. “There’s a lot of questions still up in the air, but I guess the first one is if we can put you two back together.”

“Well, we split because the darkness Zeke took from Core put us out of balance with one another. Right now Drazke has all Core’s old strength, and I am...well, as strong as Zeke is normally.”

“Will your dark half be a problem by any chance?” The figure asks. Being cautious.

“We come from a naturally balanced being. This is just a hiccup. I’ll even out with Drazke in a few days or so. Til then...I guess the wives back home will have more of me, us?”

“Pinkie’s fetish,” Drazke said, walking back over with the arm. “Clone sex...a WTF if I ever heard one.”

“Can our pinkies not share so much…” Ben mutters to himself.

Jenny covered Kira’s ears. “Hey, Zeke’s! Cool it with the dirty talk! We have a little sister here.”

“Huh?” Kira said confused. “What’s everyone saying?”

The figure was watching this when he suddenly started laughing. “Man. Never thought their reincarnations would be like this.”

“Well, that’s life,” Drazke said, moving his grip on Core’s arm, the arm moving and a small drop of blood flying off, hitting Lake in the eye.

“Ouch! That stings.” Lake said, rubbing his eye. When he stopped and blinked...the eye was a Psychopaths. All eyes were on Lake now. “What?”

“I thought I got rid of all of it…” Joy says worriedly.

Drazke carefully put the arm down. “Brother. Be calm.”

Dan and his siblings just stared dumbly. “Wow… that's like, super gross.”

“It’s worse than what you are thinking,” Drazke said, Lake’s other eye slowly being covered in the red.

“Not good. Well, at least I can do something.” The figure said summoning two Keyblades.

“Why are you so scared brother?” Lake asked.

“Just, stay calm,” Drazke said. “Some...Psychopath blood must have been at that drop.”

“WHAT?!” Lake screamed, panicking.

“Brother, stay calm! It won’t activate if you stay calm.”

“But, Brother I...I’m Scared” Lake’s other eye became completely covered.

“And he lost it.” The figure said.

“Fuck.” Ben and Joy say at the same time.

Lake’s face was blank for a time. Everything felt still as everyone waited for him to make a move. “Brother?” Drazke asked.

“Not here.” Psychopath replied, rushing the Figure, palm striking him as the Figure’s body exploded into blood and microscopic bits of flesh. “Finally, a proper host again. And with such unique powers.”

“Where were you aiming?” Psycho looked at him to see the figure completely fine. Puzzled till he saw his eyes were tinged with silver.

“Okay, well this escalated quickly.” Lan summoned his blade once again in defense.

“Oh Lan, you should know,” Psycho said, appearing behind him. “No rest for the wicked.” There was an audible snap. Lan fell over as Psychopath was holding what appeared to be a chunk of spine. “Have fun regrowing that.”

“No problem. Curza.” The figure used a powerful Cure spell to heal Lan. “Is that it?”

Lan got back up, stretching his “new” back. “Thank goodness for healing magic and vampire healing factor.”

“Oh fine, play it your way then.” Psychopath said, snapping his fingers as pools of blood appeared around him. What crawled out horrified the Foretellers...the fallen union members from the Clone Josh attack. “Have fun, I got other things to attend to,” Psycho said as he stepped into one of the pools.

“Where you going!” The figure hit him with a chain of light attaching to Psycho and pulled him back and slammed him out of the crater. “You guys deal with the dead. I and Drazke will handle Psycho.”

“Oh, you tease. You think it’s just the newest members coming out?” The pools of blood opened wider, and out crawled hundreds of blood covered fallen...from the Keyblade War. “Let me go and save the world, or hold me here and let it die. Cause for as long as I am here these portals stay open. Your choice.”

The Figure looked at the fallen in silence. “...those are my friends.” He suddenly appeared before Psycho with pure white wings on him shining a lot of light with both keyblades glowing like stars. He then started hitting him with enough to force to turn mountains into pebbles. Yelling out a word at each hit. “THOSE! ARE! MY! FRIENDS! YOU! GOD! DAMN! BASTARD!” At the last hit, he turned the black looking Keyblade into an ax and smashed Psycho away.

“Like I care,” Psycho said, appearing behind the Figure, unharmed, and out of the chains. “You forget it’s not easy to kill one of us. Especially in a host like this. Crypt's parallels all hold the keys to the greatest source of power in all creations, and that’s why I made it my goal to take all of them.”

“I've killed worse than you. I've not even begun to fight.” The figure said taking off his hoodie revealing his face. “Besides you pissed me off.”

“Yeah, I do that.”” Psycho said, spin kicking Figure. He blocked with his Keyblades...both of which broke on impact and sent him across the sky. “The Sentient life forms willpower. In no one in all creation and time is it stronger than in Cript and his parallels. Not, all but one...and a half are mine.”

“Want to know something great about Keyblades?” The figure appeared behind Psycho. Who suddenly had a cut on his cheek. “Even if something breaks them. The wielders heart can always bring them back.” He said holding both again.

“Wanna test that?” Psycho said with a smile, snapping his fingers as blood covered Keyblades appeared. “Oh goodie, I got half of those keys stuck inside Zeke’s heart still.” He snapped his fingers again, more appearing. With a flick of his finger, Psycho sent them all after Figure.

Figured smirked at the sight. It's been awhile since he went all out.

As they gazed at the horde of the bloody spectators of their dead Union members, their faces were showing intensity. If the horde was of living beings, they would have felt the intense pressure emanated from them.

“How dare he. To disrespect not only us but the lives of our Union members.” Lan said, venom dripping from his voice.

Jenny clenched her teeth so hard they became fangs. “That Bastard! When I get my hands on him, I’ll tear him to shreds!”

Dan still looked cool, but anger was evident by his fierce glare. “But first we have to deal with these abominations.”

Alex agreed. “Why don’t we pull out the big guns?”

Kira nodded, not saying anything and only wanted to fight.

“Allow me to help a little. I don't have much power left in this form, and Drex is running on a timer holding that Psycho off. So I'll split it. Half will go to you guys. Nearly doubling your current strength and the other half will go to Drex to buy more time. Good luck.” with that Jar split his remaining power and sent it to them and the figure who they now know as Drex. Although it sounded familiar they'll worry about it later.

The energy they received from Jar brought back some of the fire they held. They were now ready for a fight.

“Thank you Jar. We’ll put this power to good use. Hope you guys don’t mind a change of scenery.” Lan brought out a Dream Card, as well as his siblings. “Ready?”

“Ready!” They said together.

"We cast: Serene Sanctuary!"

The area around them was surrounded by white light before settling down and revealed their new battlefield. There was a single alter in the center of the everything. Surrounded by shallow waters, enough for them to stand on firmly. The sunlight that pierced through the cloudy skies illuminated the whole field.

“Welcome to our personal Dream Field. This one has a particularly OP ability, which is why it takes all five of us to cast.” Dan started explaining.

“It pertains to us specifically. Increasing the states of all of us and those who we see as our allies. As well as lowering those of our enemies.” Lan finished.

“Impressive. Tell me, do you see their faces in your nightmares?” Psycho asked, looking around at the new battlefield.

“Is this fucking Sanctuary from Dissidia Final Fantasy?" Ben asks with a frown.

“Well, it looks pretty at least.” Joy points out. “But we still have to fight.”

“Right. Be careful guys. Just because their undead doesn't mean they're not dangerous, and I'm fighting a Psychopath so it's kinda up for debate who has the worst deal.” Drex said holding both his Keyblades in Psycho.

“Hey, guys, how much stress can this place take before it breaks?” Ben asks the Foretellers, opening his book to a certain page.

“Quite a bit. It’s being cast by all five of us after all. So go nuts.” Alex smirked.

Giant blue spell circles and rune work surrounded Ben as they said that. “Cool.” He grins. “Quicken Supreme Spell. Now Supreme Magic! FALLEN DOWN!” Ben shouts, in the middle of the undead army a massive column of magic exploded downwards, the column of magic destroying any enemy not strong enough that remained in its three hundred foot radius.

That was the flame that lit the fire of battle as they all charged into the fight. Joy rushed over to Drezke and slapped him hard. “Wakey Wakey Jackass it's time for fighting!”

Drezke rubbed the mark Joy left. “...Let’s see what I still have.” He said, focusing on Kingdom Key D and Discord appeared. “Huh...This will do.” He said, a dark aura growing around him.

“Hey, a little help would be appreciated!?” Drexel yelled while clashing with Psycho.

“Shit.” Joy growled while rushing over to help Drexel fight, switching to Lindworm as Ben started fighting the horde of enemies. “Wind Talon!” Joy shouted, swinging the lances as sickies of wind shot fast towards the Psychopath.

Psycho blocks the attack, blood appearing out of the air and shielded him. Drezke joined in, his aura not four times his size as pure rage was filling him and fueling his attacks. Psycho shook both Joy and Drexel just to clash with Drezke. “Heh, your brother is not in here, you know that.”

“Then at least I can give him a proper burial!” Drazke shouted, darkness affecting his appearance now as he appeared like a humanoid Neo Shadow, clashing Psycho.

“Damn…” Joy muttered, dashing towards the Psychopath and attempting to stab him with his keyblade while he was busy holding Drazke back.

Joy’s Keyblade went through Psycho, who simply grabbed Joy’s Keyblade and finished pulling it through him, his wound vanishing mere seconds after the Keyblade was removed. “Nice try mutt.” Psychopath said, slashing Joy with his own Keyblade, he dodged, but part of his left ear was cut off.

Joy growled. “Shit…” He mutters, before cutting his hand with his keyblade, the blood dripping on Reunion and the blade gaining a dark red glow. “Let's hope this works…” He muttered while dashing towards the Psychopath. “Drezke move!” Joy shouted.

Hesitantly, Drezke moved to the side, giving Joy an opening.

”Sorry Zeke…” Joy thinks to himself while slashing down at the Psychopath with his sin infused keyblade, hoping to finish it.

Meanwhile, at the outer rim of the battlefield, the Foretellers and Ben were mowing down the horde of the Undead. Keeping the entire horde away from the main battle. One by one, tens by tens, the undead Union members were no match for their former masters.

“Hey, guys?” Alex called out while slashing away more enemies. “I’m not complaining or anything, but why are we taking the role of supporting characters this time around? I want more of the action.”

“Okay, one I have no idea if any of you ever fought a Psychopath. It's never fucking fun.” Ben states. “And two, if you all want, we can have our own adventure, hopefully, something that doesn't involve the end of the universe.” He says, creating a massive explosion and killing more of the undead. “How's that sound?”

Outside of his senses, three more undead appeared behind Ben. Before they had time to strike, Jenny came in swinging, killing them all. “Ben’s right Alex, that isn’t our role here. We’re here to help them deal with their problem.”

“Yeah, this isn’t our story,” Kira said, casting more spells that destroyed a lot of other enemies.

“No, it's just not your time to shine in this giant ass story,” Ben says to Kira, swapping to Skysplitter. “But right now is the time for some healthy family undead slaying!” Ben cheers, golf clubbing the ground and a bunch of zombies flew away in pieces before he rushing through.

Alex huffed. “Alright, back to the old grind.” Charging his keyblade with lightning and zipped through the battlefield.

“Hey, at least calmer hang out times are ahead of me and Joy right?” Ben asks.

“Right!” Kira cheered.

“Especially with how adorable Kira and Joy will be when they hang out.” Ben points out with a giant smile.

Back to Joy, Drazek, Drex, and the Psycho.

Joy’s Sin attack hit, slicing off Psychopath’s head as it and the body fell. There was a silence as they slowly walked towards it. “Is...are they dead?” Drezke asked, worry across his face.

“Something tells me it ain't over yet. That was too easy.” Drex said not letting his guard down.

As Drezke walked over to the headless body, it twitched, making him jump as the three-pointed their weapons at it. The body stood up, grabbing its head. Blood poured from the head and blood flowed out of the body. The body grew a head out of just blood, a silhouette or one, and the head made a body of one. “I’ll give it to you, that kinda hurt.”

“Oh no…” Joy said breathlessly. “How in the nine hells are you doing that? And what about…” Joy was to scare off what he most likely caused in this situation.

“Great. Is he immortal? Knew that was too easy.” Drex said deadpanned.

“Heh, everything dies. I’m no exception.” Psycho said, the body rushing and attacking Drexel while the head charged Joy and Drezke.

“Shit!” Joy yelped, summoning Frozen Pride. “Drezke, mind keeping it busy?”

“Trying!” Drezke said Psycho’s blood arm stretched out like a vine pinning him down. “How is a liquid so fucking dense!?”

“Fighting a headless body. Strangely not the weirdest fight I got into.” Drex said using his Keyblades in gun mode blasting it back as well as the Keyblades attacking him.

“Come on, come on…” Joy tried finding someone who could help them out in this situation. “Damn it.” He growled before calling someone who has experience against Psychopaths. He then summoned Graceful Dahlia and rushed after the head attacking them hoping the person he called would come soon.

As Joy attacked, there was a flash. When he blinked, Both parts of Psychopath were tosses to the side. The attacker. A dark brown haired woman, she wore a tunic or sorts, had some kind of old fang earring, and wielded a really odd weapon. A bloodstained rock held to the top of a stick with leather straps. “You rang?” She asked.

“Yes.” Joy nodded while pointed at both the head thing and the headless thing. “Too much to explain but Zeke's light half became a Psychopath.” He tells her.

“Hehe, long time no see.” Psychopath said, both parts of him getting back up and returning to one body. “How’s it been, Cain?”

“Wait for what!?!” Joy barked in surprise.

“Been what? Close to two years since I finally got you out of me Psychopath, I say not long enough.” Cain barked.

“Hehe, I owe every host I had back in that realm to you.”

Cain pointed the weapon at Psychopath. “My biggest mistake.”

Joy growled, drinking a potion and his ear being all better. “Well, let's get this over with.” Joy said. ”Hopefully I can get him back if I take out the psychopaths blood.” Joy thinks to himself, thinking that if he doesn't have a humanity blade getting the blood out would be a good second.

“Let's just end this please,” Drex said getting up. “I don't have much time left anyway.”

“Let’s try, in the body, he has now...It won’t be easy.” Cain said.

Drezke looked at what was once his other half, his brother. It dawned on him that, if he can’t be cured, he has to be killed...and Zeke will never come back. “...Let him leave…” Drezke said.

“What? But if he leaves who knows what he'll do. And we can cure him right?” Joy asks.

“None of us have a Humanity weapon.” Cain pointed out. “I just got the First Weapon. Besides, I can’t even wield one, and Joy and Ben, the others would have to earn one. Even with one, there’s no guarantee it will cure him. Every Psycho possessed Parallel Cript has encountered...Was incurable, so our odds are low.”

“Oh no…” Joy muttered.

“Damn it,” Drex said.

“Heh, what the circumstance you all have, kill me now and Zeke will never have a chance to come back, wait to see if the host is curable, at the cost of, rough estimate, a few hundred thousand worlds. So, what’s more, important to you all, one man, or all those lives?” Psychopath asked, a sly smirk on his face as he spoke.

“I really want to kill you.” Drex deadpanned. Powering down. His hair turning brown and eyes going green.

“Sorry Drezke, but you did make us promise.” Joy tells him while moving forward. “Crimson Lotus Blitz!” Joy shouts, bolting towards the Psycho as dozens of blade-like lotus flowers shot towards him.

As Joy was about to strike, he was suddenly hit by Drezke, his attack failing as he fell. Drezke then grabbed Joy by his neck. “If he is incurable. I will kill him myself. Then. You kill me.” He finished, throwing Joy back towards Drexel. He then turned to Psychopath. “Don’t even think I am bluffing.”

“I know, I have his memories after all.” Psychopath said, a red portal opening under him as he fell in, it closing as he went in.

“Well at least it's over...for now,” Drex said holding Joy before putting him back on his feet.

“Fucking hell.” Joy frowned. “Thanks.” He says to Drexel while rubbing his neck. “Well...that was a thing…”

“Come on. Let's go see if the others are ok.” Drex said turning around and walking towards them.

Joy looked over to where the others were, seeing another explosion happened. “I'm sure they're fine.” Joy says. “It was nice to meet you.” Joy kindly says to Cain.

“Same, maybe next time we meet it’s without something worse than Death itself around,” Cain said with a small smile as she snapped her fingers, and vanished.

“Hopefully…” Joy sighs out while heading off to see if his family is alright fighting a bunch of zombies. “Today just went from fine, too bad, to weird, too bad, to worse…” He sighed out.

“Good job everyone,” Ben says to the Foretellers, standing in a small crater filled with dead zombies. “Now...where's the other shit that's gonna obviously appear?”

“Well, considering our track record. It should be happening pretty soon.” Lan piped in. “Be ready for anything guys.”

“Yo. We're back. With some bad news.” Drex said with Joy near him.

“Psychopath got away, Drezke is gonna kill it, then I and Ben are gonna kill him.” Joy tells them.

“Fuck.” Ben frowned. “Well don't worry, there's more shit coming as per normal.”

“Life of keybearers,” Drex said, shrugging.

“Well...I mean besides the fact most of us are in herds.” Ben says honestly, looking around for any portals suddenly opening up. “Who wants potions?” He asks, wanting to give them out to help.

“I got this. Curza.” Drexel said. Healing everyone there.

“Oh hey.” Kira walked up to Drexel. “I never got to ask with all the fighting going on. But who are you?” She asked, feeling like she knew him.

Drex looked at her for a sec before pointing behind the Foretellers. “I think you have something else to do Ava.”

They looked at them to see...ghosts. The ghost of the Unions from the war. They all looked towards their former masters with solemn looks.

“Everyone,” Kira said, tears threatened to fall from her eyes. They did not speak, only stared at the Masters gazed at them.

“... We’re sorry. Everything was destroyed because of our foolishness.” Lan spoke first.

Jenny clenched her fist. “If we weren't so hard headed and blind to the Master's plot, we could have all continued to live in peace.”

“But instead, we dragged all of you into our fight, and it cost you your lives.” Dan piped in.

“We really screwed up. I guess I speak for all of us when I say we don’t expect you to forgive us. But just know, that we are sorry.”

The spirits still stood there staring, until two of them stepped forward out of the crowd.

“Skuld, Ephemera.” Kira recognized them. After a moment of silence, the two of them smiled and knelt down to bow. The rest followed their lead.

“You… Forgive us? Why? If it weren’t for us…” Kira started but stopped when they all stood back up. Skuld and Ephemera placed their hands over their heart, before thrusting them out in a flowing motion.

The Foretellers were confused at first, but quickly remembered when it meant.

“May your heart be your guiding key.” Lan translated with a smile.

Drex looks on and smiled. “They forgive you. Because they know you'll do better this time. Right, Skuld. Ephemera.” Drex said. Both looked at him and nodded.

The Foretellers noticed that the way he spoke sounded like he knew them. They tried to think about why Drex looked familiar.

“As for you earlier question Ava. My name...is Drexel Quake.”

Drexel Quake, that single name struck a chord in all their minds. Memories started flooding into their minds of their past lives.

“Drexel Quake. I remember.” Lan said shocked. “You were a member of my Union, back when we were who we were.”

“But that was Millennia ago, how is this possible?” Dan asked.

“Hey! You’re the boy that Marinette was talking about. You cut my arm off!” Jenny said, comically angry.

“One, that was before the war was even in thought, and two. You guys killed me so we’re even.” Drex said.

Lan gazed at the ground with shame. “Yes, that’s true and I’m sorry.”

Drex walked up to Lan and smack his head. “Don't worry about it. That was the past.”

“Hey don't hit your master,” Lan smirked before both of them laughed together. “But still, how are you here?”

“Thank Jar'Mudan for that. You guys know John? Well, he is my reincarnation.” Drex said pointing at the still unconscious John.

“So we aren’t the only ones that were brought back.” Dan realized. “I wonder how much more there are out there.”

Drex shrugged. “Who knows. Well, what about you two over there?” He said to Ben and Joy. “Cat got your tongues?” He smirked a little.

“Nah just listening,” Ben says.

“Why is everyone else reincarnations of special people and I’m Ben's old life?” Joy asks.

Shrugged. “Luck? Who knows.” Drex said.

“You are amazing Joy, not as amazing as them but still amazing.” Ben smiles.

“Now, now, don’t sell yourself short Ben, Joy. It’s not who you are affiliated with that makes you amazing, it’s your actions. You're just as amazing as the rest of us.” Kira said, cheering him up.

“I always sell myself short.” Ben deadpans. “And also damn, you and Joy would be the most adorable couple.” He says to Kira.

“Nuu~.” Joy blushes in embarrassment. “She probably already has a boyfriend.” He tells Ben, his hood down and yes the Foretellers could see Joy was adorable as hell.

“If Joy and Kira were a couple how adorable would they be?” Ben asks the others.

Drex looked at Kira to see her blushing as well and chuckled. He patted her head while chuckling.

While Kira was busy being embarrassed, the other four just smiled. Although if one were to pay attention, they could sense a dark presence behind them.

Lan suddenly gripped Ben’s shoulder. “Let’s not go off pairing them off just yet.”

“Correct, she’s too young to date,” Dan said sinisterly.

“And any Boy that thinks he has a chance has to go through us.” Alex finished.

Ben just laughed at this. “Oh god, this is hilarious.”

“Dude! They look like their gonna murder me.” Joy whimpers. “Kira is pretty yes but I'm too young to die.”

“Good call dude,” Drex said while still patting Kira's head.

"I asked if they would be a cute couple, but your reactions are just too funny.” Ben sighs out with a happy smile.

Drex suddenly started to glow. “Well. Guess my time is up.”

“For now,” Drezke said, walking up to the group finally. “You’ll be back.”

“Maybe. Depends I guess.” Drex said smiling. “Doubt it though."

“I just want to say a few things before I go.”

“What is it Drezke?” Lan asked.

“First off, give this to my family,” Drezke said, handing Lan a ring. “Tell them Zeke is dead, and this was all that was found.”

“We’ll keep our promise,” Ben says to Drezke.

“Well, I guess that he is technically dead.” Alex chimed in. “You sure about this?”

“If Zeke can come back, he’ll sort this mess out,” Drezke explained. “If not, I’ll be dead anyway. Best his family never know about this. And secondly, about Lake…” Drezke’s aura grew rapidly, Hordes of Heartless and even Unversed appeared all around the group. “Go after him to end him...I will. End. You.” With that, Drezke fell into a DTD, the Heartless and Unversed following suit.

“Well ain't he just a ray of sunshine,” Drex said.

“He’s just peachy.” Ben agreed.

“Well. Later guys. John should wake up soon once I'm gone. Take care.” Drex said before disappearing.

After he was gone everyone heard a noise. They looked to see John coming to. “What happened? John said before to see a bunch of people he didn't recognize. “Um, who are you?”

“People making sure your world wasn't destroyed,” Ben says. “So friends. Names Ben.”

“Thanks for the help. I'm John. John Corvo.” John said.

The others then introduced themselves as well. They filled John in on what happened. It was a lot to process.

“Wow. So Zeke is gone?” He said looking at the Foretellers.

“In a technical term, yes, but I have a feeling we’ll see him again. If not one, then in pieces.” Dan stated.

“So. What now?” John asked

Lan stepped up. “For now, let’s all return to our own worlds and take some well-deserved rest.”

“That's a good idea Lan” A voice from nowhere said. A purple portal appeared. Ben, Joy, and John could instantly tell it was void.

Ben and Joy summoned their weapons and held them at the ready, only knowing Jar as a friendly enough void being. “Who are you?” Ben growls, still expecting more enemies to appear.

The Figure walked out. “Don't worry. Besides you, all have been dealing with my brother Core, and my brother God brought you all together.”

“Hollow,” John said.

“ We will speak in a moment. For now, the others should return.” Hollow said. With a snap of his fingers, portals to their worlds appeared.

“Yeah, that’d be good.” Lan looked at the ring in his hands. “We have some bad news to break.” He and his siblings walked through the portal. Before Lan was fully through, he turned around and looked to John. “May your heart be your guiding key, Drexel.” With that, he left.

“Drexel?” John said. They left out a few bits of info when explaining to him what happened.

“It’s complicated…” Ben sighed out. “Anyways we better get going.”

“Sorry, we couldn't stay longer and talk.” Joy says. “See ya.” The two then entered the portal and left.

“ There was another here but I sent him home already. He was caught up helping others from heartless and the like. So John. I believe it's time for your training to begin.”

A portal suddenly appeared in the Town Square of the Daylight Empire. And who were to walk out but the Foretellers, all clad in their masks and robes. Those who around were confused, before a guard recognized them and approached.

“Ah, Master Foretellers. What are you doing in the Empire?” he asked.

“We came bearing urgent news for the royal family. Can you inform them that we need to talk?” Lan asked.

“Oh, of course, follow me.” The guard said, the Foretellers following.

In short time, the Foretellers and Zeke’s family all were in one of several sitting rooms. “So what brings you all here?” Celestia asked.

“Did Zeke send for help?” Twilight asked.

They said nothing but gazed at the floor in shame. Lan reached into his robes and pulled out the ring. “I’m sorry.” he stretched his arm to give Celestia the ring.

While the wives and even some of the kids seemed to understand, one spoke up. “Why...do you have his ring?” Diamond Tiara asked. Her mind not wanting to register its meaning. “Why do you have Dad’s ring?”

They still didn’t answer, not wanting to add any fuel to the fire. They stood there solemnly, while the rest of Zeke’s family started piecing together the puzzle.

Breaking the silence, Lan started to explain. “In the midst of our fight against Core, Zeke tried to take away Core’s Darkness and transfer it to himself. While he succeeded in taking his darkness, it was too much for him. Core survived as a Nobody and fled. The ring… was all we could salvage.”

They broke, most were crying now, Rainbow had tears running, but was keeping her teeth grit, Maud was even crying, a sight strange for all.

The Foretellers gave their condolences, then left, hoping the family could move on.

Another Day

Over the city of Equestria Town, a portal appeared in the sky. Exiting the portal were the Foretellers, mounting their key-beasts. They settled at the threshold of their mansion and dispelled their beasts. All with solemn expressions on their faces.

“That was rough. Did we really need to lie to them?” Kira asked.

Dan nodded. “It was Zeke’s, or rather Drezke’s, decision to ask us. We gotta respect it.”

Jenny scratched her nape and sighed. “Yeah, but it was still tough though. We just had to tell his whole family he “died.” Not the best experience in the world.”

“All we can do is move on. We’ll see Zeke again, hopefully, whole.” Lan said.

The all started walking towards their front door. The moment they opened the door, they saw the Dazzlings on the other side.

“Oh, you’re awake,” Lan said surprised.

The three Sirens smiled nervously. “Y-yeah…” they stood there awkwardly for a while, not knowing what to say.

Alex clapped to break the silence. “Well since we’re all here, and it’s still morning, why not have breakfast? It’s my turn to cook after all.”

The next thing they knew, all of them were sitting in the dining room together. The Foreteller siblings idly chatting and eating the pancake breakfast Alex prepared, while the Sirens were just staring at their food and fidgeted nervously.

“You know,” Lan said to the Sirens, noticing they were nervous. “They say you eat with your eyes first, but I’m pretty sure you’d be full by now.” he joked.

The three of them hesitated, before finally digging into their breakfast.

After taking another sip of his coffee Lan spoke again. “So, do you three have a plan for the future?” He got straight to the point.

The room fell into silence as the Foretellers waited for the Sirens answer.

Aria sighed. “Honestly, we don’t know. After everything that happened last night, I guess I can speak for all of us when I say that we’re a little lost.”

Sonata nodded. “We’ve been in this world for a long time, and we’re so used to using out magic like we used too.”

“Although now that we’ve had a change of heart, we’re not doing that again. Even if we wanted to, we don’t have our magic anymore.” Adagio said, motioning to he discolored jewel in her choker.

The Foretellers nodded understandingly.

“Well, you could always stay at Canterlot High. Go to classes, make friends, be normal teenage girls… Well normal as you can get with a school full of Keyblade wielders.” Dan suggested.

Aria snorted. “Yeah like they would welcome us there, I sure wouldn’t. We brainwashed most of them and almost killed them with those Unversed. Pretty sure we’re the last people they would want to see again.”

“Well, like we said last night it won’t be easy,” Jenny added. “You did some bad that much is obvious, and you can’t change that. But that doesn’t mean you can’t do better for the future. Not everyone is going to forgive you just like that, it’s your job to earn it. On the bright side though, I can already think of a few who already accept you.”

Sonata tilted her head. “Who?”

Alex chuckled, “Well you’re in our house, and eating our food. It goes without saying that we already accept you. As well as Sunset and the other Rainbooms, so you won’t be totally alone.”

“So what will it be?” Kira finally asked.

The Sirens looked unsure at first. Although, after exchanging looks as if they were talking to each other, they came to a final agreement.

“Alright, we’ll stay,” Adagio answered, with her sisters nodding in agreement.

“Yeah! I wanna know what it’s like to make friends for one.” Sonata cheered.

“I’m tired of moving around anyways. It’s a nice enough a place to settle down in.” Aria said. “But we have another problem.”

“What?” Kira asked.

“We… don’t exactly have a place to stay.”

“Really?” Dan asked. “Where were you staying before?”

“We stayed at a hotel in town,” Adagio answered. “We used out magic to… persuade them to let us stay for free. But that’s not an option now.”

“You could always stay with us,” Lan said suddenly, shocking the Sirens and surprising his siblings. “I mean we have more than enough space in this big mansion. But, you’ll have to pull your own weight around here.” This time without hesitation, the Sirens accepted his offer.

Lan clapped his hands together. “Well, I guess that wraps up our morning. It’s about time we get ready for another day at school.” The Foretellers stood up and proceed to prepare for their day. Lan turned back to the Sirens and smiled, “All of us.”

(Lan Report 4)

Well, that’s the end of another report. Been a while since I did one of these.

“Okay, I think I got my second wind.” Adagio’s voice called out to me.

I’ve been training with Adagio for a majority of the morning. Ever since they decided to join our unions, they have been taking their training very seriously. It seems like from they have somewhat prior combat training from their own experiences back in Equestria.

At the moment, Adagio and I were training in the front yard of Foreteller mansion. The two of us were taking a quick break, so I decided to write a quick report. I close my laptop and stood across from her. Unicornis materializing in my hand, and a Starlight in hers.

“Are you ready?” I ask.

“Ready,
” She sang out the last part.

At that, we resumed her training. Her fighting style was well balanced between the physical and magical aspects of the Keyblade. Which is ideal for those in the Unicornis Union, but as the sparing goes on I can spot some obvious flaws. She’s too brash when attacking, not thinking out some of the moves she makes and relying too much on instinct.

Adagio panted tiredly as she stood across from me.

“You’ve improved quite a bit, considering how long you have been training under use. Why not call this a day?” I asked.

She smirked and rose her Keyblade again. “Sorry master, but I'm not done yet. I may be just a beginner, but my goal today is to at least knock you on your butt.”

I sighed at her stubbornness, but I can respect her spirit. “Alright then, let’s make this out the last stand. Come at me!”

She charged with all her might, and I kept my guard up ready for anything. Although, in the midst of her attack, neither of us noticed a miscellaneous stone on the ground. Before either of us noticed she tripped. She started barreling towards me, and in my attempt to catch her she plowed right onto my chest knocking both of us over.

“*Grunt.* Here’s a lesson for the both of us, always be aware of your surroundings. The most superfluous of items could turn the tides of any fight.” I said as I lifted my head off the ground.

When I did I found myself staring at the deep, dazzling (pun not intended), razzberry eyes of my student. Her head was resting on my chest as she was also staring back at me. We stayed in this position for what seemed like hours when in reality it was a few seconds.

All of a sudden her eyes and smile turned mischievous.

“Well, look at that. Looks like I did manage to knock you down.” She said.

I chuckled. “Looks like it. I guess I shouldn’t underestimate any of my students. Are you gonna get up now?”

She hummed, still having that strangely attractive, mischievous look. “I don’t know. I kind of like it here. Why don’t we stay like this for a while?” She started slowly crawling closer to my face. She was so close that our noses were practically touching. I couldn’t find any words to say, and I could feel my face heating up. “But probably not for too long, I wouldn’t want to make them too jealous.”

Them?

All of a sudden, I started feeling a familiar dark presence. I slowly turn my head, to see my four girlfriends glaring at us.

“Hey, there suga’,” AJ said slowly.

I started sweating profusely. “H-hey girls. What are you doing here?”

“We came here to see if you wanted to go out for lunch,” Fluttershy said with a dark whisp to her words.

Rarity’s brow started to twitch. “But it seems like you skipped all the way to dessert.”

Sunset started tapping her foot on the ground. “Is there something you want to tell us, babe?”

Before I could say anything, Adagio shot to her feet. “Well our morning training is over, I’m gonna go freshen up. See you later Master.” She sped off into the mansion, leaving me alone of my “loving” girlfriends.

Oh boy.

(3rd’s P.O.V)

“Rainbow, I’m still curious about why you wanted to go to the music store,” Dan ask his girlfriend.

It was another day in Equestria Town. After the latest battle, it was agreed by all of the Foretellers that they would take some time off. Today Dan spending time with Rainbow Dash, who wanted to go to the music store.

“I wanted to get a new guitar. Since out Keyblades stopped shifting into instruments I was stuck with my normal guitar. I grew kind of attached to the design, so I want to see if Vinyl could help me with some custom fitting.” She explained, motioning to the guitar case on her back.

He raised my brow. “And why exactly did I have to accompany you?”

She swiftly wrapped her arms around him and fluttered her eyelashes. “Because I’m your girlfriend and you love me.”

“*Sigh* Well that's not wrong.” He said. A slight smile crept across his lips as they continue their walk to the music store.

They finally make it. The two of them entered the store to see Vinyl behind the counter not noticing them, but also saw a technicolored bat flying around the store with a guitar in its claws. Which happens to be a Spirit Komory Bat.

“Ahem.” Dan coughed.

She turned towards the pair, but then they widened under her shades as she saw me.

“Master!?” she shouted in surprise. That moment the Komory Bat dispersed and dropped the guitar it was carrying.

Dan’s eyes narrowed. “Vinyl Scratch. You weren’t misusing your Dream Eaters were you?”

Vinyl smiled nervously, “N-n-no! Of course not. I just needed it for that one time cause it was too heavy.”

*Stare~*

Dan’s stare intensified as she leans in closer to Vinyl. Vinyl got more nervous under the intense stare down, but a red hue covered her cheeks. Which went unnoticed by Dan, but not Rainbow who gained a mischievous smirk.

‘Oh-ho-ho~. I know what that means.’ Rainbow thought to herself

Dan backed off and sighed. “Well I’ll exempt it this once, but let’s not make it a habit of this. Dream Eaters are for aiding us in battle, and to be our companions.” Dan’s own Komory Bat appeared on his shoulder as he puts it. “Not for being lazy. Understand?”

“Yes, Master.” Vinyl bowed her head.

“Also, I hope you didn’t give any other of your Union members the same idea.”

“Vinyl!” Octavia entered the room from the back door. But behind her was a Kooma Panda Spirit behind her, dragging in a crate of boxes. “The new shipments came in.” She paused, realizing Dan was there. “O-oh! Hello Master Dan.”

Dan’s glare was now zeroed in on her, while Vinyl and Rainbow chuckled in the background.

(Jenny’s P.O.V)

*Clang!*

*Bink!*

*Crash!*

“Gahh!”

Hah~! Another day, another training session. Today, I’m sparing with my boyfriend, Flash Sentry. Yeah, you heard right, the two of us made it official. After that first coffee “date,” we went out a couple more times after that. One thing leads to another and we were dating, which makes this spar all the sweeter.

Flash was one of the advanced students, so he was putting up quite the fight. We were sparing on the football field, both of us were panting tiredly. We’ve been at it for some time, so that’s understandable. In his hands was his true Keyblade, Fate of the Wolf.

“You’ve gotten pretty tough Flash. Have you been training behind my back?” I asked, teasing him.

Flash smirked. “*Huff! Huff!* Well, I can’t get lazy now. I can’t call myself a member of the Ursus Union if I'm not as strong as a mountain.” He joked.

“Strong as a mountain huh?” I said, preparing for a final strike. “Let’s see how you handle this.
!” I dashed towards him with great speed.

I didn’t give him enough time to dodge, so he could only block. Once I struck his key with mine, the force knocked him back ways before landing on his back.

I walk up to him and laid down next to him. Both of us tired from our spare.

“I guess I got more growing to do before I catch up to you.” He sighed out.

I smiled, “Don’t beat yourself up over this. You’ve improved a lot. So much so that I could say that you’re close to your Mark of Mastery test. But for now, let’s rest up so we can go another round.”

“Hehe, I’m not sure I have enough energy for another spar.” He chuckled.

I smirked as I crawled up over him. “Have enough energy for this?” I locked my lips with his and start a make-out session.

He separated for a second and said, “Well not that tired.” then we continue making out.

Yeah, it's a good day.

(Kira’s P.O.V)

Hah~! I don’t like math!

Today I wanted to catch up on some work that I still had when we were all gone in the Dream World. I’ve got everything up to point, except for my worst subject. Math!

But at least I got a study buddy to help me. I called up Pip to see if he could help, since he is a straight-A student, and told him to meet me at the Cakes shop. Now I have a study buddy and a delicious milkshake!

“Alright Kira, let’s work with the negative integers now,” Pip said.

“Gahh! Can we take a break Pip? My brain hurts.” I whined.

“We just took a break, Kira. Just so you can finish your third milkshake.”

“I needed brain fuel!” I slump on the table. “Why do I need to study anyways. I’m a Keyblade Master! I fight evil and save worlds!”

“But you’re also a high school student, so studying is important too,” Pip said as a matter of fact. Well, he was right, but that didn’t stop me from using my secret weapon! Puppy dog eyes, go!

I could see him struggle to define my power, but it was all for not!

“Hah~. Okay, we’ll take a break. But after its straight back to studying!” He tried to be first. Keyword tried. It was cute how he was trying to be intimidating.

(Alex’s P.O.V)

This. Is. Tense.

When Pinkie invited me over to her place for Netflix and Chill, I thought it was the
kind of chill. Not literally watching Netflix and Chilling, but that’s not the tense part.

Her sisters decided to join us.

Now I have nothing against any of the pie sisters, but our first encounter was anything but a warm welcome. I was trying to make a good impression on her family, just a simple hello. Although I didn’t expect them to be so protective of Pinkie. The first time I met Maud she threatened to throw a bolder on me if I hurt her sister. Not her pet rock who is named bolder mind you. Limestone did the same, but with a lot more emotion and colorful language. Marble tried to be threatening, but it only made her more adorable. I had to act afraid, so I would hurt her feelings.

I’ve talked to them more and several occasions and things seemed to be going well. I felt like they were starting to warm up to me. But for some reason I’m feeling the tension in the air.

Right now we were watching one of Pinkie’s favorite movies, “Stormy with a said of Pudding.” It was making me hungry, and it doesn’t help that Pinkie at all the popcorn.

“Oopsies! Out of popcorn. I better get some more.” She got up to leave.

“Um. Why don’t I come with you?” I tried to get out of the tense situation.

“Nah don’t be silly. I’m just getting popcorn. Wait here and enjoy the movie, you’ll enjoy the next part.” She said leaving the room.

Here I am, focusing all of my attention on the movie, trying to avoid the tension I feel from the sisters.

“So Alex,” Maud suddenly spoke. “How are things between you and our sister?”

“Um, great. Yeah, everything's going perfectly fine.” I said nervously.

“Yeah, we could probably guess that,” Lime said harshly. “She talks about you all the time. About how her training going, about your dates, and
activities.” She smirked.

I immediately knew what she meant. “She tells you about that stuff!?”

“She tells us everything.” Marble side quietly, and tried to hide behind her hair. “Most of the time she’s very detailed about it.”

I feel the weight shift on the couch I was sitting on. Maud had been shuffling closer to me until she was right next to me.

“It makes me want to see if you’re everything she says you are.” She said seductively, sliding her hand closer to my inner thigh.

I jerked back. “W-w-what are you doing? You know I’m dating your sister!” I stuttered. Suddenly Lime slung her arm over my shoulder and pressed her bust against my arm.

“C’mon big guy. You say you can’t handle all of us Pie’s?” She teased.

“But I’m not cheating on your sister!” I said, trying to get out of the situation. Then I felt a weight on my lap, which is where marble decided to plant herself.

“Is it cheating if she agrees to it?” she asked.

Wait, what?

“Hey!” Pinkie suddenly entered the scene, with a bowl of popcorn in her arms. “How could you…”

“P-Pinkie! It’s not what it looks li-!”

“How could you start without me!”

WhatX2?

“Huh?” I asked dumbly.

Pinkie smiled. “C’mon honey. You didn’t really think I actually meant Netflix and chill did you?” She laughed. “My sisters and I have been talking about this for a while now. I’ve been so happy being with you for the past few months, I wanted to share that happiness with my sisters. Who, in fact, have feelings for you too.” I look over to her sister, who all have blushes on their faces. “Plus this shouldn’t be anything new to you. Lan’s dating Sunset, Rarity, AJ, and Fluttershy. Why don’t we try that ourselves?”

This is going to be a long day.

(3rd person P.O.V)

“*Pant! Pant! Pant!*”

The sound heavy breathing and splashing could be heard. In the streets of a dark, rainy city, ran a man wearing a black armored jumpsuit, and a mask that was half black and half bronze. He was holding his bleeding right arm as he ran as if he was afraid of something.

He ducked into an alleyway, hoping to hide from whatever it is he was running from, only to have a Scraper Unversed appeared and slashed at him. Three slashed across his chest spilled blood as he fell on his back.

“Stop running Slade. It’s really pathetic.” Suddenly, Crow drops down from above.

Slade made a desperate attempt to escape, but a Bruiser cut him off.

“You helped me conquer, you helped me crush those pesky titans, you gave me this power! In return I got you all that you ask for. That was our deal. This wasn’t part of it!” Slade yelled.

“Yeah, you scratch my back and I scratch yours. Yadda, yadda. But you forget, we’re the bad guys. You were gonna screw me over if I didn’t first. Plus, the only thing I really needed was your heart. Don’t worry, it’ll be put to good use.” Crow summoned his Keyblade and stabbed Slade in the chest. Slade’s body disappeared, and his heart flowed into the keyblade.

“Well, that’s another check off my list.” A Door To Darkness opened behind him, “One more step towards my goal. C’mon boys.” He walked through the Door with his Unversed following him.

Xross: Dream Meeting

It was another normal weekend in the Foreteller Mansion. Alex, Dan, and Jenny were off doing their own thing, as well as the Dazzlings. That left Lan and Kira for some brother sister bonding time.

And they way they chose to spend their time, is by testing out a new Dream Field!

(Inside the Dream Field)

*Pink!*

*Clash!*

*Roar!*

Lan and Kira were sparing in their Keyblade armor, along with their Dream Eaters who were fighting each other. One was a Pegislick, the other was a Weeflower. They were all sparing in a new Dream Field that Kira created.

They were fighting in what looks like a city street. Tall skyscrapers surrounded them as they were all lite up in neon lights, and strange childlike drawings of smiley suns, daisies and things of that nature.

The Foreteller siblings continued to spar along with their Dream Eaters.

“Hey Kira? What was the effect of this Dream Field again?” Lan asked.

“You forgot already? This is Smile Town! I made it so it amps up the strength of positive energy. So our spirit Dream Eaters get stronger when they’re here, and probably make the Unversed weaker. Given that they are made of negative energy.” She boasted.

Lan chuckled. “Right, my mistake. It’s holding up pretty well for a new field.”

“Yeah, you’re right. Why not turn it up a notch?” Kira said as Vulpus started to glow slightly.

Lan smirked under his helmet. “I was thinking the exact same thing.”

In a flash, the two charged at each other.

“Hah!”

“Seiya!”

*Clank!*
Their attacks collided with each other with so much force, a crater formed on the ground under them.

*Crack!*

“Huh?” they both of them asked.

Off to the side, they could see cracks forming in the Dream Field.

“Hm? What’s this place?”

After the crack had appeared in their dream field, revealing a strange cave system full of gangly looking trees growing throughout it. The shadows covered the ceiling but there appeared to be no actual ceiling at all. In the distance were several locked doors though they each had a light spilling lock on each of them.

“I don’t remember making this part of the field.” Kira said.

“This is weird.” Lan stated. “A dream within a dream? Hope we aren’t caught up in an Inception plot. I still don’t understand that movie.”

“Who’s there!?” Kira shouted readying her Keyblade. Her brother doing the same.

A cloud of bats flew past startling the two before disappearing back into the darkness.

“Oh, okay. Creepy bats. That fits the cave cliche. So what do we do now bro?” Kira asked.

“Yeah what do we do bro?” A voice called from behind Kira. Only for nothing to be there.

“Ahhh! Firaga!” Kira sent a fire spell in the direction of the voice in panic. But it only struck the side of a tree, nothing else.

“Okay, now that’s a tell that there is definitely someone here.” Lan raised his blade. “Show yourself! Are you an enemy?”

Nothing but the whistling wind blew through the cave and silence blanketed the area.

“Ahh! I don’t like this! Is this gonna be like Nightmare on Elm Street? Are we gonna see Freddy!?” Kira started swinging wildly.

Lan facepalmed with a sigh. “I knew you couldn’t handle that movie.”

“It is pretty scary, huh?” The voice struck behind Lan but soon fled back into the shadows once again.

“This is almost as much of a headache as the Master of Masters. ”Lan said rubbing his temples. “Plus he gets our meta references. Please come out. If you don’t mean harm then neither do we.”

Once again no answer came out right away. A small piece of paper slowly flew down between the two fluttering down almost too perfectly so that the blank side was only seen.

Kira started at the paper scared, her knees started to buckle. She took small steps back and started poking at it with her Keyblade. Nothing happened.

“Bro! I don’t know what movie this is from!” Kira yelled.

Lan sighed in annoyance. “Forget the movie! I’m tired of this. If this is a dream, then we have some influence here.” Lan placed his hand on the cave flow as he started to glow. In an instant, the shadowy cave terrain was replaced with a very illuminated cave filled with several mangled trees that also hid their own shadows.

A thestral hung from one of the sturdier looking branches looking down on the two people watching them closely. It’s amber eyes glowed even in the bright light. As quickly as the light shot up it was turned back down and the thestral was lost in the shadows once again.

“Ahhhhh! I don’t like it!” Kira shouted again as she continued to shiver.

“How did the lights go off? Is someone else controlling the dream?” Lan questioned.

“I’m quite nice when you get to know me.” The voice answered and gripped onto Kira’s back.

Kira’s expression darkened as she slowly turned around. She saw the same menacing amber eyes they saw earlier.

“AHHHHHHHHHHH!” Suddenly, the Weeflower Spirit she summoned prior rushed in and knocked the figure away from her.

“Oof… too much?” The voice called out as it fled back into the darkness. “Too bad I was your spirit animal miss.”

“Spirit animal?” Lan chuckled. “Well you obviously don’t know a Dream Eater when you see one.”

“No I know. We’re different. Dream Eaters being the purified heartless living within the sleeping worlds that some are able to tame. I know what she knows. Hence I am her spirit animal.” The voice called out.

“But you don’t sound like a penguin! I took an online quiz, that proves it!” Kira yelled randomly.

“Your true spirit animal comes from the soul. Not a quiz made by others over the internet.” The voice answered from another location than the last. “You have the soul of a pony within you.”

“Oh.” Kira’s expression dropped. “But I’m already part pony and vampire. Can I switch with someone else?”

“No. It is set in stone. As a thestral I will lead you on your blood crusade and into the future while you seal keyholes and capture the hearts of all the boys… probably.” The voice chided Kira though there was a small chuckle near the end.

“All the boys? Is this a reverse harem story!?” Kira said, eyes turning into stars.

“No! No! None of that!.” Lan interrupted her train of thought. “Okay, let’s have a chance of scenery.” He pulled out a Dream card.
The cracked portal behind the siblings started expanding before it replaced the cave terrain entirely.

“Well guess you don’t get the reverse harem story. Still you already have that one boy under your hoof or hand don’t you.” The voice came into view flapping down on his hooves and stretching out. He sounded uncertain of things though it was subtle.

“Ah so you’re the one who-!” Before Lan could finish his sentence, a pink blur rushed pass him towards the new arrival.

“Oh my gosh! A bat pony! He’s so cute!” Kira said latching on to it, while petting its mane.

“Well… this is unexpected. As your spirit animal I approve.” The thestral answered.

“As I was saying.” Lan jumped back in. “So you were the one messing with us?”

“Nope that was the other bat pony out there. I’m her spirit animal as you can see from her ministrations of patting my head.” The thestral looked at the man ignoring him entirely for the head pats.

“Aw, can you be a fox? I already am like that, so a fox would go with my Union.” Kira asked.

“Nope. It would require you to unlock your soul like Sora, otherwise, I can’t do anything but be you.” The thestral answered tapping his hooves together. Kira pouted.

“Kira!” Lan yelled as she yanked his sister off the Thestral by the back of her armor. “Can we get down to brass tacks already!? All this banter is getting annoying!”

“Ah… he’s the party pooper always dancing around in your head.” The voice stated though he sounded confused.

A tick mark appeared on Lan’s forehead, before an orb of light formed in his palm. Thrusting it skywards it disappeared, but what appeared behind him was a technicolored T-rex. This was a Tyranto Rex spirit.

The thestral did nothing at first. “Your brain was right. He is a buzzkill.” A shield was summoned to his hoof and just as the Tyranto Rex took a step forward a large flow of ice formed around it captured the spirit and keeping it locked in place. “Ok I’ve had my fun now.”

“Okay, now let’s talk.” Lan said calming down. “But first, one of the best things about Dream Eaters, their physical forms can be dispelled.” The Tyranto Rex disappeared, leaving an ice statue of its likeness in it place.

“Neat. So let’s break this then.” The thestral summoned a keyblade and hit the ground unlocking the area and returning it into a cave once again. “So more people to meet and more keybladers that have something going on with god right?”

“Oh, so you already know? That means you’re a survivor of the Mayan test. RIght?” Kira asked.

“More people? Does that mean you met others?” Lan asked.

“First one was very depressing to listen to. Second one I called Spark Plug because he decided to look like Twilight. Last one was kind of arrogant sounding and had a little boy chained to his side.” The thestral muttered as he flapped back to a tree and hung upside down once again.

“Ah! Zeke, Eclipse, and Ben. So I guess we’re the latest ones?” Kira said sheepishly.

“Was there a reason they came here?” Lan asked. “I wish all of us were here to meet you though.”

“Too many cooks ruin the soup. Two is fine. So why are you here? The last guys came here by accident and most of them were either depressing or fun to mess with. You land on the other half, by the by. Though just like the rest you look quite weird. We’re almost twinsies.” The thestral chuckled as he looked at Kira.

“We came here by accident too. We were testing one of our Dream Fields, I guess our over exerting the power limit caused a malfunction.” Kira explained as she dispelled her armor. “My names Kira by the way. Leader of the Vulpus Union!”

Her brother followed her lead. “And I’m Lan, her brother. Leader of the Unicornis Union.”

“Neat. Dead people coming back to life to not get dragged back into their mistakes. Or new people? It’s funny how much you think about things when you just got back from almost dying once again. Ah… right. I’m Nebula Gray… at least now I am.” Gray chimed in wrapping his wings around his body.

“Nice to meet you!” Kira waved at him. “It’s always nice to meet a new friend.”

“Little soon for that. Let’s say we’re on the way towards it.” Gray answered clearly uncomfortable for some reason.

Kira’s expression dropped as she began to twiddled her thumbs. Tears began to surface on her eyes as she pouted cutely. “Ah, okay. I guess you’re my friend, and I’m not yours yet.”

“That’s never worked on me. I was a cop before and I can tell the difference between manipulative and genuine. Ah there is it… the hidden smirk hidden beneath the frown. I said you are working your way towards it. Friendships are built on trust and hard work. We barely met and have only just started speaking to each other. Trust is earned… never given.” Gray answered… never looking in their direction as his eyes took a thousand yard stare.

Kira pouted, more comically this time. “Hm, well i had to give it a try. You’re pretty mature for a cute pony.” she chuckled.

“I’m twenty six.” Gray deadpanned looking at the young girl.

“Exactly!” She said.

“Well anyways.” Lan interjected. “It is nice to meet another survivor. Mayhaps we can trade stories?”

“I don’t know… You seem a bit boring. She’s at least entertaining. Also the head pats. That’s always a plus. Do you have a good story?” Gray smirked as he pointed at Lan.

Lan smirked. “I may be more interesting than you think.”

“Yeah!” Kira said. “He’s kind of a square, a prude, and really dense. So he has some funny stories. Plus I have stories about him I can tell.”

“Then you can speak about your stories to his detriment since it works out in your favor and make things interesting. Final offer. Take it or leave it.” Gray announced in a commentator’s voice over.

Even after Lan’s protest, his sister and the thestral began to tell stories. Kira mentioned the mess with Sunset and the recent fight against the Dazzlings and their eventual reformation so long as her brother kept it in his pants, to his louder protests. Gray, on the other hoof, as he said it, recalled the fight against Nightmare Moon and nearly dying against her and the Demon Tide heartless. The mention of finding love in six mares was met with Lan trying to poke fun of it like the other two did for him. Gray instead mentioned all the things he did to the detriment of Kira’s innocence and Lan’s frustration.

“You did ask.” Gray bluntly stated.

“That’s quite the tale.” Lan said. “It’s pretty refreshing to hear the story of a survivor who isn’t overpowered like the others.”

“But I don’t get one thing.” Kira asked. “What did the stuff you did with your wings have to do with the story?”

“Ask your brother. He’d love to tell you everything that was mentioned. He’ll answer or your siblings if he doesn’t and you can tell them that he was the one who let you listen to that talk.” Gray chuckled winking one eye at Lan to tease him. “Let me continue my story then.” He continued as Lan glared at him.

There was mention of a grand underwater empire hidden behind a large sea monster that guarded it. The eventual loss of all the survivors and the fight against a true monster who turned into an even dangerous monster. Then there was mention of a grand forest that was almost lost to the darkness and besieged by an owl. When it was said that the owl was a mother who was only protecting her last young and the eventual restoration of the light of the world that put actual tears in Kira’s eyes.

“And that’s all I’ve done so far.” Gray offhandedly stated as if it were no big deal.

“Wow! You’ve been to a lot more worlds than we have. I guess it’s because we never really had a reason to.” Kira pouted.

“Atlantis sounds like a nice place. Too bad it ended that way.” Lan said. “So since you finished your latest adventure, you’re just relaxing now?”

“Well… I am in the dream world. So yeah… probably relaxing.” Gray smirked once again chuckling at the obviousness.

“Okay smartass. Just trying to move the conversation along.” Lan stretched out his arms. “Well it’s about time we took our leave. We’ve taken enough of your time.”

“Plus he’s got a makeup date with his girlfriends who caught him with Adagio” Kira smirked.

He sighed. “Don’t rub it in.”

“Rub it in. Rub it in. Rub it in.” Gray chanted in the background.

Kira and Lan began walking back through the cracked portal, but Kira stopped. “Oh wait!” She ran back up to Gray and held something out to him. It was a card. “It’s Smile Town! I know that we just met and stuff, and we don’t know much about each other, other than what we told. It just looked like you could use a smile.” She smiled at him adorably.

Gray took the card and summoned a book. He tapped it against her head and flew back into the darkness. He waved goodbye and flew back into the shadows.

Lan and Kira walked back into their Dream Field, with the cracked portal closing behind them.

“Well that was interesting. Right bro?” Kira said to her brother.

“He was an interesting fellow. Uncouth and annoying, but one of the more casual meetings we’ve had. Pretty refreshing.” Lan said. Suddenly, the Smile Town Field dissolved around them. “Did you disperse the Field?”

“No, I gave it to Gray. He looked like he could use a little smile.”

Lan eyed her suspiciously, before sighing. “Well I won’t question it. But whatever happens because of it is on you. Not if you’ll excuse me, I have to get ready.” He began walking into the mansion.

“Have fun kissing your girlfriends asses!” Kira yelled with a smirk.

“Laguage!”

Author's Note

What is up, everyone!

I hope you liked this chapter. this is a long-planned xross between me and QuartzScale and his story Locksmith.

Now this is the last chapter before the new arc starts. The arc where my characters finally go to different worlds. I have a list of worlds and ideas set up for the arc, but I'm still open to ideas. So if you can think of a show that has ties to powers that deal with emotion post it in the comments below. Worlds with villans that use the power of negtive energy, for example.

Like, fav, follow, and all that stuff.

Peace Out!

Miraculous New World

Author's Note

Hey, they viewers. I'm back after a rather long hiatus. Sorry to make you guys wait, but after some things that happened within my group of friends I lost a bit of inspiration. Which took a while to get back. This chapter is gonna be shorter than most, but I am trying to get back into the grove of this story. Bare with me for now.

So let's get to the chapter! XD

Miraculous New World

“Uhhh~! I hate math!” Jenny groaned with her head down on the lunch table.

At the moment, the five Foretellers, plus the Rainbooms, were sitting together in the cafeteria eating their lunch.

“Well if you actually studied for that test them maybe it wouldn’t have been so difficult,” Dan said slyly.

Jenny glared at him, “Thanks for the recommendation! Now go screw yourself!” She yelled at him.

“Whoa, calm down there girl.” AJ tried to calm her friend. With the others agreeing.

After taking a deep breath Jenny calmed down. “Sorry. It’s just, when you’re a Keyblade Master training your own Union, and a High School student, it gets pretty rough.”

“You aren’t the only one Jenny.” Lan said. “All of us have our own Unions to take care of, plus school. And for me, I have paperwork to do. Thanks guys.” He said gazing at his siblings, who looked away.

*Shine!*

Suddenly, the Wayfinder around Kira’s neck started to glow a faint pink.

“Hm? What’s up with my Wayfinder?” Kira said observing it closely. Faint glows started to show on the other Foretellers, who’s Wayfinders also started to glow.

“They’ve never done this before.”

“Hm, the Master of Masters did say that they hold some sort of power. You think this is what he was talking about?” Alex asked.

“Yes! Something interesting is happening.” Kira cheered. “Let’s go back to the mansion and figure it out.”

*RIIIIINNNNG!*

“...After class.”

(After School: Foreteller Mansion)

One half school day later, the Foreteller’s returned home with their still glowing. They had left the training for their unions to the Rainbooms today as they make sure nothing is wrong.

“So, what is it these things actually do?” Jenny said spinning her’s on it’s chain. The others didn’t answer as they were tinkering with their own Wayfinders.

“I’m not entirely sure. There doesn’t seem to be any secret mechanisms to any of them, so maybe there is a spell we need to cast on them?” Dan said.

“I tried a Curaga spell on mine, but it didn’t do anything. And I don’t want to try any attack magic on it in case they aren’t magic proof.” Kira said.

“So, they aren’t doing anything by themselves.” Lan started. “Maybe together?” He placed his Wayfinder on the coffee table, the others followed his lead.

They didn’t react at first, but then they started to shining in sync and floated up a bit. They floated higher in the air and flew outside through an open window nearby.

They all rushed outside, to see their Wayfinders in a star-like formation high in the sky. A keyhole formed in the center.

“Is that a keyhole?” Kira asked.

“It looks like our Wayfinder’s are telling us to go off-world,” Dan said.

“Yeah, but to where? We don’t know where this portal is leading us. It could be some sort of trick for all we know.” Alex said.

Lan nodded, “It might be, but the Master gave us these himself. Plus we don’t know what is on the other side unless we check it out. There could be people in danger, we at least have to know what’s going on.” Lan reasoned.

“*Sigh* Fine, but if this is some sort of trap Crow is doing then I’m saying I told you so.” Alex raised his Keyblade towards the Keyhole. A beam of light shot the center, and it glowed bright until the space around it broke. Like the sleeping keyholes in KH Dream Drop Distance.

“Yay! New world! This will be the first world we go to on our own. Without any other survivors!” Kira cheered as she through Vulpus in the air, transforming it into its Keybeast form.

“Good thing it’s Friday.” Dan muttered as he and the others followed her lead, as well as activating their armor. They mounted their Keybeasts and flew through the portal.

The second they entered, they were suddenly going at high speed through a tunnel of space. Stars rushed by as they felt the harsh wing going through their hair.

“The space between worlds never gets old to see!” Dan yelled.

“This is awesome!” Alex and Kira yelled.

After a moment of surfing through space, they saw a world coming into sight. Its shape was like earth, the Eiffel Tower sat atop of the whole thing with a black cat and a lady bug flying around it.

“Is that it?” Jenny asked. “It looks like what it would look like in the games. How are we supposed to land on it?” As if it cue, another keyhole shaped portal appeared. “Well that’s convenient.”

They all flew through the portal.

When they exited, they appeared in the sky above a very beautiful city. In the distance, they could see the Eiffel Tower.

“Oh! We’re in Paris! How pretty.” Kira exclaimed.

“Hm, I should bring Rarity here one of these days. I know she’d love it.” Lan made a mental note to himself.

“Okay, so we’re here, but it looks pretty peaceful. What did we need to come her for?” Alex asked.

*Boom!*

A loud boom rang through the air, and they could see smoke rising in the distance.

“Well, that answers my question.”

With that, they all steered their key-beasts towards the commotion.

Through the streets of Paris, multiple Unversed were tearing their way through the streets. Wreaking havoc to the town, but mainly surrounded on two individuals.

“Things are getting a bit hairy here Ladybug!” The male of the duo grunted, dodging a slash from a Scraper Unversed. He wore a black latex suit that covered his whole body, and a long black belt around his waist which hung off his back like a tail. His hair was blonde, reached passed his ears, along with two cat ear atop his head. His emerald green eyes were surrounded by a black face mask that only covered the top half of his face. In his clawed, gloved, hands was a silver bow staff.

“Hang in there Cat Noir. We can’t let up!” The girl of the duo ordered. She had on a red and black polka dotted unitard. Her hair was black and reached down the nape of her neck, and tied into twin tails. Her eyes were as blue as the sky, surrounded by a similar mask to cat noir only red with black dots. She was wielding a yoyo that shared her costumes color schemes.

“But our weapons aren’t even doing that much damage! Plus we still need to deal with him!” Cat Noir gestured to the figure behind the unversed.

The figure was a male standing on top of a wrecked car. He wore very punk like outfit of black jeans and a navy blue shirt with a white skull on it. His wrists had spiked cuffs on them, his face was pale with dark eyeliner under his eyes. In his hands was a giant paint brush that had the Unversed symbol in the crest of the brush.

“That’s right Unversed, fight in the name of Graffiti! I’ll be painting rebellion all over this city! But I’ll need your Miraculous for Hawk Moth to do that. So give them up!” The villain announced. He splashed black paint on the ground with his brush, and a Bruiser Unversed rose from the paint.

The Bruiser charged straight at the two heroes, ready to flatten them under its weight.

*Slash!*

Before the Bruisers attack could land, it was destroyed by an armored Jenny landing in its path and delivering a downward slash.

The Ursus leader turned to the two heroes, “Hey there. Mind if we join the party?”

“We?” The ladybug and cat asked in unison. The Unversed surrounding the two heroes were being slain by the other four Foretellers.

The heroes of Paris looked shocked at the new arrivals. The creatures that they have never seen before and were having difficulty beating, were being slain in one mere moment.

Graffiti sneered at his minions being destroyed. “More goody-goody heroes? Meh, doesn’t matter to me. I’ll just brush over the lot of you!” He swung his paintbrush once more, making more Unversed.

The Foretellers stood at the ready for the upcoming fight, right in front of the two baffled hero duo.

“Hey, polka dot, black cat.” Alex looked back at the duo, “You’re the heroes right? Mind explaining the situation?”

Cat Noir glared, “First of all the name’s Cat Noir, and the lovely lady here is Ladybug. Second, why should we trust you five?”

“Look, boy,” Jenny argued. “We are the ones who can take out the Unversed, and you two are the ones who know how to take down the graffiti guy. It doesn’t take a genius to know that we need to work together. So are you with us, or are you gonna let him hurt more innocent people?”

Cat Noir was about to retort, but Ladybug stopped him with her hand on his shoulder.

“She’s right Cat. We’re outnumbered, and it looks like their weapons are the only things doing damage. We can get explanations later, but if they are here to help let’s let them.” Ladybug said determined.

Cat Noir relented, seeing his partners point.

“Alright everyone. It’s hero hour!” Lan announced as his siblings summoned their keyblades, and Cat and Ladybug readied their weapons.

In a very dark room, with only a single, circular window letting in the sunlight. There stood a man wearing a dark purple, three-piece suit with a small, white, butterfly-shaped pin on his lapel. His face was completely covered by a silver mask that only showed his mouth and blue eyes.

This was Hawk Moth, bearer of the Moth Miraculous, and right now he did not look happy.

“Who are these pests!” Hawk Moth yelled as he struck his cane on the ground. “Graffiti came so close! He and the Unversed were about to obtain the Miraculous! Who are these new pests?”

“Those would be my pains in the neck.” From the darkness of the room, Crow stepped out. “Took them long enough to find me.”

“You knew that your adversaries would be here?” Hawk Moth chided.

Crow shrugged, “I’ve been to many worlds Hawk Moth. I assumed they would come after me at some point. Looks like they chose now to do it.”

Hawk Moth groaned in frustration. “Well do you have a plan!? We had a deal. You would assist me in obtaining Ladybug and Cat Noir's Miraculous, in exchange I would offer my service to your cause.”

“Relax, Hawk. Graffiti was just a test run of our powers combined. Now that I have a feel of how this works. I got a bigger and better plan.” Crow smirked.

The battle between our heroes and Graffiti was inning its climax. While Aced, Invi, Ava, and Gula were holding back the Unversed from attacking citizens, Cat, Ladybug, and Ira were fighting Graffiti.

Graffiti sent another slash wave of black paint towards the three heroes, which Ira sliced in half with his keyblade.

“Is there anything I should know about this enemy?” Ira asked the duo.

“Let’s not hurt him too much. He’s just a normal person possessed by an Akuma, so we just need to destroy the object it’s possessed and he’ll turn back to normal.” Ladybug explained.

Cat nodded, “And I’m willing to bet that it’s in that paint brush of his.”

Ira readied his Keyblade. “Alright, I’ll make an opening and you two get the brush.” He charged straight for Graffiti, slashing his blade down only to be blocked by Graffiti's brush.

While the two of them continued their exchange of attacks, the hero duo of Paris held back to think of a plan.

“So, have any ideas m’lady?” Cat Noir asked.

Ladybug surveyed the situation, until an idea came to her. “Yes I do kitty, here is what we’ll do.” She began to whisper her plan to her partner.

Ira and Graffiti continued their battle. Neither of them leading up on their constant stream of attacks. Although Ira was mostly stalling for Cat Noir and Ladybug to initiate a plan.

Suddenly, Cat Noir appeared behind Graffiti. Not that the villain noticed, but it caught Ira’s attention. Cat signaled Ira to push Graffiti further towards him, so he nodded.

Ira’s Keyblade charged with energy, “Blitz!” He charged towards the villain with a powerful combo of attacks. Which broke Graffiti’s guard and made him stumble back.

With the villains guard down, Cat Noir used his bow staff to trip him up. Which lead to Graffiti to fall back and lose grip of his brush. Acting fast, Ladybug used her yo-yo to snatch the brush away.

“My brush!” Graffiti recovered and charged towards Ladybug for his weapon back.

“Cat Noir!” Ladybug tossed the brush towards her partner.

“I got it, M’lady!” Cat rose his right claw in the air. “Cataclysm!” Black energy surrounded itself around his claw as he caught the brush. The moment Cat caught the brush, it turned to an onyx black before it completely disintegrated. Leaving only a black butterfly in its place. Which in turn made the Unversed disappear, and Graffiti to turn back into a civilian.

“No more evil doing for you little Akuma.” Ladybug opened her yo-yo revealing a light screen on its face. “Time to De-evilize!” She swung her yo-yo and caught the Akuma inside of it.

The other Foreteller’s approached their leader and the duo.

“I’m pretty sure ‘De-evilize’ isn’t a real word,” Gula whispered to his siblings.

Ladybug opened her yo-you once again, setting the butterfly free, although it was not snow white. “Bye bye little butterfly.” She then threw her yo-yo in the air. “Miraculous Ladybug!” Her yo-yo dispersed into a large swarm of ladybugs surrendered my a magical aura, miraculously fixing the damage done by their battle.

“Well, that’s a convenient way to clean up.” Aced shrugged.

“Ahem.” The Foretellers turned towards the hero duo.

“Thank you for your help.” Ladybug bowed her head slightly. “We probably wouldn’t have lasted if you five hadn’t showed up.” she extended her hand.

“It was no big deal. Just doing what we do best.” Ava accepted the handshake.

“But now I want answers.” Cat Noir intervene. “You seemed to know what those other monsters were, and your weapons were able to damage them when we couldn’t. Just who are you?”

Before anyone could answer, an alerting beeping caught their attention. Which originated from Cat Noir’s ring.

“Uh oh, you’re about to change back Cat.” Ladybug said worriedly.

“Then I guess explanations will wait for another time,” Ira interjected as he opened a Door to Light.

“Wait! We still have questions, we don’t even know your names.” Cat called.

“You can call us the Foreteller’s. Don’t worry, we will meet again.” With that, the Foreteller’s walked through the door. Though, before Ira walked through he turned towards the duo. "May your heart, be your guiding key." He walked through the door, and it closed behind him.

Ladybug and Cat Noir just stared at where the Foretellers once were, with stupefied
Expressions.

“Well, they were an interesting group,” Cat stated before his ring beeped again.

“We’ll figure it out later. We got to go before we transform back. Bug out!” Ladybug used her yo-yo to swig away.

In an alleyway a good distance away, Ladybug landed out of sight. Hey body glowed slightly before her costume was replaced with casual clothes. She wore a dark gray blazer with rolled up sleeves. The inside of the blazer is lined in white with pink polka dots, and it has black trimming. Underneath, she wore a white t-shirt with black stitching and a flower design below the collar. She also wore pink rolled up jeans and blush pink ballet flats with dark red soles. This was Marinette Dupain-Cheng.

“*Sigh* Well that was exhausting. Good thing the Foretellers showed up or I would have lost my Miraculous. I just wish I knew who they were.” Marinette said to herself.

“They are the Foretellers. The First Keyblade Masters, trained by the Master of Masters.” A high pitched voice called out to her. Floating in front of Marinette was a small creature that was about four inches tall. She has a large head, a tiny body, and dark blue eyes. She resembles a ladybug, with two antennae, a large black spot on her forehead, back, and each side of her head, and a short tail with three tips aligned vertically. This was Tikki, the Kwami of the Ladybug Miraculous

“You know who they are Tikki?” Marinette asked surprised.

Tikki nodded, “Yes, and now that they are here, it means something big is about to happen. We need to discuss this with Master Fu. This is of the utmost importance.” Her voice held a surprisingly serious tone.

Hearing the urgency in her voice, Marinette nodded. “Alright Tikki. We’ll go first thing tomorrow. Good thing it’s the weekend.” With that, the two left the alley way. What they didn’t notice, was the Foretellers, in their civilian forms, watching over them on a roof.

Lan nodded towards his sister.“Kira, Jenny, follow her. Alex, Dan, and I will follow the cat.” Lan ordered, with his siblings agreeing.

A Miraculous Origin Story!

(Marinette’s P.O.V)

That villain yesterday really had me exhausted. Now it’s Saturday morning. I wanted to go see Master Fu right after breakfast, but my parents needed help in the bakery this morning.

“Marinette!” From my coat pocket, Tikki poked her head out and spoke in a harsh whisper. “We should be going to Master Fu’s right now. We need to tell him about the Foretellers!”

“And we will,” I whispered back. “But I can’t bail on my parents right now. I promise once I’m done here, we’ll go see Master Fu.”

Before Tikki could retort, the bell at the front door rang. Tikki ducked back into my pocket while I put on my best smile. Two customers whom I’ve never seen before came in.

One was a tall girl that looked about seventeen. Her eyes and hair were brown, cut short, and she always wore a black jacket over a white T-shirt with blue jeans. The other girl looked about my age, albeit a little shorter than me. She had short, black hair and blue eyes, and wearing a pink frilly blouse and blue jeans. But what's strange is that she had a black eye patch over her left eye.

“Welcome to our bakery!” I greeted both of them. “I haven’t seen you two around before. Are you new in town?”

“Yup!” The smaller girl answered cheerfully. “My brothers, sister, and I just got into town yesterday.”

“Oh, how nice! My name’s Marinette Dupain-Cheng.”

“I’m Kira, and this is my older sister Jenny.” Kira gestured to the girl behind her.

“Nice to meet you.” Jenny said cooly, “But Kira, let’s not forget we came here for breakfast for us and the boys.”

“Oh yeah! What would you suggest we get?” Kira asked me.

“Hm, well our croissants are one of the more popular pastries on our menu. Along with some coffee.” I suggested.

“That sounds great. We’ll take five of those, as well as five coffee’s.”

“One de-caf.” Jenny interrupted her sister, “Because of how someone gets around caffeine.” Her serious remark made Kira pout, as I let out a small chuckle.

“You two seem really close, I wish I had a sibling like you guys,” I said as I got their order. “So why are you all in Paris? Vacation?” I asked.

“Not exactly,” Jenny spoke up. “I guess you could call it a business trip. We have a job to do here, but a little sightseeing here and there wouldn’t hurt.” She smirked.

“But I didn’t expect Paris to have their own superheroes!” Kira cheered. “What were their names again?”

“I think it was Pokadot and Black Cat, or something,” Jenny answered.

‘Pokadot!?’ “Their names are Ladybug and Cat Noire.” I corrected sheepishly.

“What about those other five?” Kira asked. “They looked so much cooler!”

My eyebrow twitched slightly. ‘Cooler!? They just showed up and are already getting popular!?’

“I don’t know who they are. They are new around here.” I answered. “Anyways, here’s your order!” I handed them their order.

Kira reached into her wallet and handed me some cash.

“Keep the change! Hope to see you again soon.” Kira said as both of them left abruptly.

Hm… what strange girls, but they were really friendly. I hope I can meet them again. I went to go and put the cash Kira gave me in the register, but in my hands wasn’t only the cash but also a letter. The letter didn’t have a return address and was sealed with a wax seal that looked like a fox.

Curiosity got the better of me and I opened it.

Hello Ladybug,

Yeah, that’s right, we know your secret identity. Don’t worry though, we won’t tell anyone. Not unless you and your partner meet us at the top of the Eiffel Tower tonight at midnight. We didn’t have a chance to properly introduce ourselves, and we have much to talk about.

May your heart be your guiding key.

T-t-they know who I am!? Wait, guiding key?

“Marinette!” Tikki whispered from my pocket. “That symbol on the seal, it’s the insignia of the Vulpus Union lead by one of the Foretellers.”

“What! But how did they know who I am!?”

“I don’t know, but this is much more serious then I thought. We need to inform Master Fu right away!”

“I know Tikki. We’ll head right over.” I said as I took off my apron. “Mom, Dad! My shift is over, I’m going out now!”

My mom yelled from the kitchen, “Okay, honey! Don’t be out too late!”

With that, I made my way towards Master Fu’s!

(Adrien’s P.O.V)

*Piano Playing in the background*

“Perfect as always Adrien.” Ms. Synthea, my piano teacher, complimented me.

“Thank you for your teachings.” I bowed my head slightly.

“Well, that’s all for this lesson. We’ll pick this back up next week.” She said as she left.

The moment she left my room, Natalie entered with a few sacks in her hands.

“Well done Adrien. Next on your schedule is fencing lessons. You have a bit of time to rest before then, so I brought you your weakly fan letters. I thought you’d want to sift through them.” She said while setting three sackfuls of fan letters.

Natalie left my room, and I slump in my seat.

“Why bother, it’s all the same anyways.” I sighed.

“What if someone sent some tasty camembert?” Plagg suddenly appeared.

I chuckled, “I seriously doubt my fans would send me camembert through the mail.”

“Well if there’s cheese involved, I’m not taking any chances!” My kwami said as he dove in the sacks and started rummaging through the letters.

While he was doing that, I started to think back to the Akuma attack yesterday. More specifically, to the five Foretellers who helped Ladybug and me.

“Hey Plagg, do you know anything about those Foretellers from yesterday? Are they Miraculous holders too?” I asked.

“Them? Oh no, they are a much bigger deal than that. They are the first Keyblade Masters from when the worlds were still one.”

I looked at him confused. “Keyblade? Worlds were one? What does that all mean?”

He pops out of the sack with a pondering look. “I’m not to fine on the details since it’s been centuries since I’ve even thought about them. We’d have to either talk to them directly or ask Master Fu about it.”

I sighed, “Well, that can’t be today, I have a full schedule.”

Plagg shrugged, “We’ll probably run into them sooner or later for an Akuma attack.” With that, he dove back into the sack to look for more cheese.

While he did that, random letters flew everywhere making a huge mess.

“Plagg, can you not make it look like a hurricane came through the window?” I asked sarcastically while picking up some letters. Although, one stood out to me out of every other letter. One white envelope with a wax snake seal laid with the other letters. I picked it up to find that it was blank. Strange, usually it would have a return address or a name, but its blank.

I guess Plagg's cat curiosity rubbed off on me. I opened the letter and start reading it.

Sup, Cat Noir.
Or should we say, Adrien Agrest? That’s right, we know who you are. Your secrets safe with us, but we do request you and the lady meet us at the top of the Eiffel Tower at midnight tonight. It is of the utmost importance.
May your heart be your guiding key.

What!? They know I’m Cat Noire? May your heart be your guiding key? It must be those Foretellers. But how did they know who I was?

Guess I’ll figure out how tonight. I’m sure they contacted the lady the same way.

(3rd person P.O.V)

Just outside of Adrien’s room, the three leaders of the Anguis, Leopardis, and Unicornis unions were observing the scene from a rooftop.

“Nice work with the letter, Dan.” Lan complimented his brother.

Dan smirked, “Well the Anguis Union does specialize in covert and stealth. Delivering that letter without either of them noticing was child's play.”

“Uuuuhhhhhhh!” The both of them turned to see their leopard brother lying down, groaning. “Where the hell are the girls with breakfast!? I’m starving.” Alex complained.

“Could you be any louder?” Dan asks sarcastically. “They might notice us.”

“Hm. What I wouldn’t give for one of Pinkie’s muffins right now.”

(Eiffel Tower)

It was the stroke of Midnight, the city of love was illuminated by the dime lights of the street.

Ladybug could be seen swinging across Paris with her yo-yo until she reached her destination, the top of the Eiffel Tower.

“Alright, I’m here. They should be here any minute now.” Ladybug said to herself.

“M’lady!” Suddenly, Cat Noire leaped from the edge of the tower and landed next to his partner. “Lovely night isn’t it? If you wanted to go on a nightly patrol you should have called. I would have brought a picnic.”

“Not the time kitty.” She sighed. “I’m guessing since you’re here, you got a message from our new ‘heroes’ in town.”

Cat Noire nodded. “Yup, but where are they. You’d think since they invited us, they’d be here first to greet us.”

“Sorry, we haven’t hosted many parties.” Ira’s voice echoed.

The five Foretellers suddenly dropped from the sky and surrounded the duo. Although, instead of their armor they were wearing their respective robes.

“Hello, heroes.” Invi greeted.

Cat Noire smirked. “Looks like you guys went shopping. You should have told us that this was a formal event, I feel underdressed.”

Ladybug swatted at Cat’s head. “Focus Cat.” She chided.

Gula snorted. “Well, we know who wears the pants in this relationship.”

“We’re not in a relationship!” Ladybug yelled embarrassed. “Can we just get down to business?”

“Geez, she’s just as stiff is you, Ira.” Aced joked as everyone, bar Ladybug, started laughing.

Ira sighed, “As the leader, it’s hard to keep them in line.”

“Don’t I know it.” Ladybug sighed as well.

“Well now that we got that out of the way, I suppose introductions are in order,” Ira suggested.

Ladybug nodded, “At least someone around here has their head on straight. I’m Ladybug, and this is my partner Cat Noire. We’re the resident heroes in Paris.”

“I am Ira of the Unicornis Union.”

“I am Aced of the Ursus Union.”

“I’m Gula of the Leopardus Union.”

“Invi of the Anguis Union.”

“And I’m Ava of the Vulpus Union.”

Ira nodded, “And as we said yesterday, we’re-”

“The Foretellers.” Ira was interrupted by a sudden elderly voice. An elderly Chinese man wearing a red Hawaiian shirt stepped out of the shadows. “The first keyblade masters trained by the Master of Masters, and leaders of the five Keyblade Unions.”

“Who are you?” Aced asked nonchalantly.

“My apologies for not introducing myself earlier. I am Master Fu, keeper of the Miraculous.” He introduced himself.

Invi stepped up, “So someone in this world knows of our predecessors. The question is, how?”

“Then allow me to explain.” Master Fu turned towards the French heroes. “This concerns you two as well, so listen closely. This will be quite a story.”

“At the dawn of our Universe, there was nothing. Then the big bang gave birth to beings we now know is the Kwami. Each Kwami is formed whenever a new abstract idea or emotion comes into existence in the universe, such as creation, love, beauty, etc.”

“What does this have to do with the Keyblade?” Aced asked impatiently.

“I’m getting there.” Master Fu answeres. “The Kwami all used to travel around the universe together, but they were unable to interact with other living beings. Although, thousands of years ago when they visited Earth, that problem was solved. During their first visit to Earth, they encountered a woman that somehow had the ability to see him. This woman was a survivor of the keyblade war.”

The Foretellers gave the Miraculous Guardian a look of surprise. While the French heroes looked at him in confusion.

“What’s the Keyblade War?” Cat Noire asked.

“I’ll take this one.” Ira interrupted. “This may be hard to believe, but there are other worlds out there. We can prove it cause we aren’t from this world you call home.” The duo looked at him shocked but continued to listen. “But long ago, all the worlds used to be one. All interconnected with each other, with the heart of it being a world called Daybreak Town.”

“That is where the Master of our Predecessors trained them and had them gather skilled Keyblade Wielders, many from different worlds, and all had to keep that fact secret,” Ava added.

“It was very prosperous back then, but then one day The Master of Masters vanished.” Aced continued. “After the Master and one of their other comrades Luxu disappeared it was up to the five of them to keep the peace. But before the Master left, he left our predecessors with what was called the Book of Destiny. Which told of what is to come in the future.”

Gula stepped up this time, “It told of future where the light expires and darkness would cover the world. Knowing that they obviously tried to stop it. But then the seeds of discord started to sprout.”

Ladybug looked confused, “Darkness would cover the world? What happened to them if they all banded together to try and fight it?”

“They discovered evidence that would lead to a traitor,” Invi answered. “They found evidence that someone had fallen to darkness, but without any proof of who they began to suspect each other. One thing leads to another until it reached the point where their union members got involved. Those seeds grew into something more chaotic, the Keyblade War. That day, thousands of Keybearers died, and the world became covered in darkness, just like the Book of Destiny foretold. The worlds eventually broke apart, leaving nothing but a wasteland of a once prosperous city.”

“But hope was not lost.” Ava continued. “The original Master Ava gathered a hand-selected few of Keybearers from different unions into a group called the Dandelions. Where after the War, they scattered to the winds to make sure the light didn’t fully expire.”

The Paris duo took a while to ingest all the information, while Master Fu just stayed silent.

“Well now that you know our story, why not continue yours. Do you know the name of the survivor that ended up in this world?” Gula asked.

“Her name was Skuld.” Master Fu answered.

Ava’s eyes widened under her mask. “One of my Dandelions,” she muttered to herself.

“From the stories told by the monastery I’ve heard, she had come to this world after the Keyblade War. Although, not before she fought herself. While escaping with the other Dandelions, they encountered various Keybearers wanting to stop them. She held them off most of them for the others to escape, but in doing so she was severely injured when escaping herself. She arrived in battle worn and keyblade shattered until she was discovered by monks. She was nursed back to health and taken under the monk's wing. Not too long after that, came along the Kwamis. They came to Earth as one of their stops throughout the Galaxy, but then they ran into Master Skuld. For some reason, only she was able to see them. Possibly due to the magic of being a Keybearer. After hearing their story and desire to interact with other lifeforms, Skuld herself crafted the Miraculous using the shattered remains of her Keyblade. They allowed the Kwamis to inhabit the Miraculous and interact with other life, and also bestowed the wearers of said miraculous with great power. From then on the monastery of monks was known as The Order of the Guardians, with their first master being none other than Master Skuld herself. With this power, they took it upon themselves to distribute the Miraculous jewels to worthy people so they could benefit all of mankind and protect the world from danger.” Master Fu finished.

The occupants of the tower top were silent to process this information. Ava had a solemn, but also proud, look on her face. She was sad to hear the condition of her student when she came to this world, but proud because she did exactly when the dandelions were meant to do. Spread light to all worlds.

“Well, we now know where our stories connect.” Gula broke the silence.

“But even with all this information, why are the five of you in this world?” Ladybug asked.

“Well, until we arrived here yesterday, we didn’t know,” Invi added. “Until we saw you both fighting the Unversed. With that evidence, I have a sneaking suspicion that one of our old foes is in this world.”

“Crow,” Ira concluded. “Although we don’t know his motives for his being here yet. So looks like you’re stuck with us for a while. With that in mind,” He reached for his mask and took it off, making the rest of his robes disappear leaving him in his civilian clothes. “I think a level of trust is in order.”

The other Foretellers followed his lead and removed their masks as well, which surprised the hero duo.

“W-what are you doing!?” Ladybug studdered.

“Yeah! You aren’t supposed to reveal your secret identity to anyone. That’s ‘Super Heroing 101!’” Cat Noire stated.

Gula, now Alex, chuckled, “Well since we aren’t from this world, there really isn’t any consequence to us revealing our identities.”
Ladybug then saw Kira and Jenny in place of the Ursus and Vulpus masters. ‘Those are the girls from this morning!’ She thought to herself.

“You know us as the Foretellers, but as civilians are Lan, Kira, Dan, Alex, and Jenny Foreteller. We’re all siblings. Now, isn’t it your turn to reveal yourselves?”

“We can’t do that.” Ladybug stated. “We can’t allow anyone to know our true identities. Not even each other.”

Dan tilted his head in confusion. “I get that not letting civilians know about your identities, but you don't even know each other?” The hero duo nodded. “... That’s foolish.”

This statement irked the heroes a bit.

“What do you mean foolish?” Cat Noire asked.

“I ain’t the smartest of this bunch, but even I think it's stupid,” Jenny added. “If you knew each other's real selves it would be a lot easier to get into contact with each other when a villain strikes. Also gaining a good amount of trust than just colleagues.”

“It’s for both of our sakes. Knowing each other's identities could be dangerous.” Ladybug countered.

“For who? It’s not like you’re screaming your names to the whole city.” Alex started sarcastically. “If you really trust each other with your lives, then you should trust each other with your lives outside of being heroes.”

Kira saw that Cat Noire had a thoughtful look on his face. ‘It seems like we aren’t the only ones who think so.’ She thought.

“Enough guys.” Lan interrupted. “It’s their identities, it’s their choice. We should respect their choices. Now that everything is done with, it’s getting late so we should get going.” Lan waved his hand and opened a door to light behind him. He turned to the Miraculous duo and bowed his head. “I hope we can work together in the future.” Was all he said before walking through the Door.

One by one the other Foretellers followed his lead, the last one to pass through was Kira. But before she walked through she turned back towards the hero duo.

“Just one more thing.” Kira focused on Cat Noire. “I can sense great love in you Cat Noire. It’s so strong and pure. I’ll leave you both with this. May your heart be your guiding key.” With that, she left.

“Well, they were an interesting bunch.”

In Hawk Moth’s secret sanctum, Hawk Moth and Crow could be seen along with a multitude of Unversed.

An Akuma flew through the air until it landed on a Scraper Unversed. The Moment the Akuma landed on the Scraper it was covered in dark energy. The energy faded of the body of the scraper before it dissipated, but the only thing that changed about the Unversed except now it had a strange butterfly symbol on its chest.

“Such pure and unbridled negative energy, how intoxicating.” Hawk Moth smirked evilly.

“And that’s just one, just wait until tomorrow Hawk Moth. We’ll turn Hero Day into the Miraculous Duo’s retirement party.”
