Kingdom Hearts: The World's Reluctant Heroes

It took a while for the celebration to die down, but when it did Sombra, Sora, and the others found that the soldiers of their combined army returned to their worlds with their heads held high, as they had saved their homes from destruction and had saved the World as a whole. Sombra also made sure to tell Sephiroth that she'd fight him again in the future, since he really wanted to clash with her again, and with that information given he returned to his world as well, much to Cloud's sorrow since he really didn't like the one winged figure. Maleficent, for the most part, seemed content with the fact that Tenebris was no longer walking the World, meaning time was no longer in jeopardy, but at the same time she knew not to clash with Sombra's group again, it would be her end for real. With that in mind the dark witch and Pete retreated into the darkness they had emerged from, no doubt traveling to another world so they could conquer it so she could have a castle of her own to live in, or do whatever it was she wanted to do next.

Once everyone was accounted for Sombra found that it was her group and the Umbrum who remained, which made sense due to the fact that this was literally everyone who came from Equus, plus Sora's group, something that caused Twilight to nod her head as she opened a portal with her magic.

"So, what are we going to do on the other side of the portal?" Sombra asked, because she was interested in what the figure had in mind, Twilight hadn't said too much since Tenebris had been bested, save for mentioning that there was a demonic empire out there, one they might be going to war with, and that Discord was missing right now.

"You'll get a chance to see your home, see the others that have been brought back, the allies they've found, and simply do whatever you want before we go to war." Twilight replied, though at the same time she nodded to the few Umbrum that were standing nearby, as she knew that they wanted to see their home as well and she wasn't about to let them down in that regard, especially since she understood Umbra more than anyone expected, while the dark relic floated around her, "I would like to talk about this at some point, so I can better understand it... though I could ask Spitfire and her Void followers, since they're an authority on this particular subject."

"And why's that?" Umbra asked, because she and the rest of the Umbrum knew that Twilight was one of the smartest in their home world, so learning that she considered someone else to be the authority on something held an interest for her, which was when Twilight smiled and beckoned for them to follow her.

Sombra really wasn't sure what to expect when they stepped through the portal, though on the other side she and the rest of the group discovered what appeared to be just an ordinary town, Ponyville, but it wasn't long before they discovered that it was different from what Sombra, Fluttershy, Radiant, and Seras remembered. It wasn't that the town had changed, rather they discovered that it was the residents of Ponyville, because there were ponies of all races, griffins, races that Sombra had only read about, dragons, and even diamond dogs, the last one a massive surprise. In addition to that there were humans, what appeared to be dwarves, even shorter beings called gnomes, there were worgen, all types of elves, the vulpera, and a whole group of dragon people that were like Sairozormi, each being a different assortment of colors, horns, crests, talons, and decorations. And that wasn't the only ones that were there, as there were red individuals who seemed to have some sort of demonic power, even though they had blue and purple skinned cousins that were good, plus seductive demons, tall brutish looking figures, and all sorts of demons.

What caught Sombra's attention was a group of four, two males and two females, where one male looked like he embodied fire itself by being a tall imp or fire devil, the other male was essentially a dark lord made of stone, the first female looked a lot like the dragon people, only her wings were growing out of her arms, like a wyvern, and she seemed like a different type of dragon, and the second lady was very familiar.

"Hold on, that one looks like my world form from Halloween Town." Radiant commented, as she recalled the frozen dragon-like form she had taken in the scary world that caused them to discover that Seras existed in the first place, while noticing that Twilight was interested in what she was saying, "Some of the worlds we visited required us to blend in, and to do that we had to take on 'world forms', something that matched the inhabitants of that world... Halloween Town made us closer to Halloween themed monsters. Fluttershy and Seras were vampires, Donald was a mummy, Riku was a werewolf, and so on, but mine was a lot like the icy lady's body."

"I see. Well, those are the Primal Incarnates of Azeroth: Fyrakk the Blazing, Iridikron the Stonescaled, Raszageth the Storm-Eater, and Vyranoth the Frozenheart." Twilight said, where she smiled as she observed them, as it looked like most of them were happy to be here, even though she knew Fryakk craved destruction, something he had been promised once it was time to declare war on the demonic empire, "Now, they used to hate the Titans with every fiber of their beings, but Spitfire and Rainbow were able to convince them to talk with those that ordered Azeroth... it took some time for them to get through such a discussion, especially with Raszageth's temper, but they succeeded in getting them to stand down and join those that want to protect Azeroth. And since Azeroth is sided with us, the Incarnates have joined us as well, joining forces with each of the mortal races that call the planet home."

"And we have more, our grand and glorious leader." a feminine voice said, which was when the group found that a lady with an elven body, due to the ears, and she wore what seemed to be a mix of a mage robe mixed with some sort of cultist attire, with golden wings for shoulder guards, with two Void orbs floating above her shoulders, who seemed to be floating as if she didn't want to touch the ground and bowed her head towards Twilight, "Spitfire and Rainbow are continuing to help the various residents of Khaz Algar, and soon we should have more recruits to add to the armada."

"That is good, Xal'atath. I look forward to their return." Twilight replied, though while Sombra sensed that the Void being no doubt had her own plans once the demonic empire was dealt with, likely to remove a threat to her own plans, it was clear that she was also worried about both Spitfire and Rainbow, before Twilight had the artifact float into her hand, "Oh, that reminds me: do you think you can show me how to use this?"

"The Dark Heart?!" the Void entity, Xal'atath, replied, where everyone watched as she pulled out her own version of the dark relic, though while Sombra could see that they were identical in form she could also see that there were some differences between the two, causing her to raise an eyebrow for a moment, "Not quite, but still the same... where did this come from?"

"This world, actually. My now dead brother, Tenebris, stole it from the area that the Umbrum were sealed in." Sombra said, all while she looked at the two artifacts, they really were mirror images of each other, the Dark Heart was golden with what appeared to be dragon designs with purple runes between the 'claw' sections, while the Hungering Maw was smooth dark silver intertwined with purple runes, "It's hunger was his downfall."

"I see. You are interesting... maybe we can converse for a time, teach Twilight about our unique artifacts?" Xal'atath inquired, as she was taking this seriously, since she had been sure that hers was the only Void relic of it's kind, even though how it had been created was different from what people might expect, but she was eager to learn more about the Umbrum and their own dark relic.

Sombra nodded, because if Twilight was going to be using and learning about the Hungering Maw she needed to be there to aid her, as she wanted to make sure nothing bad happened to the figure who had stopped time from breaking on them, or at least she assumed such a thing since Twilight hadn't fought anyone during the war.

"Who are the little rat guys hanging out near the... dwarves, I guess?" Sora asked, because there were a lot of races and he knew that many of his friends were interested in all of the people that were gathered nearby, especially since it looked like there were armed soldiers heading towards a training area, where a tall buff figure with a beard and some odd red tattoo, carrying an interesting pair of blades and a unique axe, was ordering trainees around, "The guys with candles on their heads, I mean."

"They're a breed of kobold from Azeroth... I've found others in my travels, and they don't look like that. We also have a few murlocs, gnolls, and other races as well." Twilight replied, where she glanced at the group for a moment, seeing that the one figure that had captured Sora's attention for a few moments, before focusing on Sombra's group as they walked deeper into Ponyville, seeing more dragons that were different from Sairozormi's people, "Honestly, the Azerothian kobolds are dumb as rocks, especially since they wear candles on their heads... however, I've come to learn that they can be quite smart, given the ones from Khaz Algar. Those ones are definitely smarter than their cousins, so I'm interested in them coming through and seeing what our worlds have to offer, so we can see what they can actually do when given the attention they deserve."

"I'll admit, I originally dismissed them as well and only took an interest because Spitfire did... she saw something in them that many overlooked." Xal'atath remarked, where she glanced at the creature for a moment with a look of interest, like she was a god trying to see what a mortal had seen in the candle wearing kobold, even though it was clear that part of her was still confused by Spitfire's interest, but for now she focused on the group, "So, what will you do first?"

"I... honestly, I do not know." Sombra stated, which was the truth, she had been so focused on traversing the World, hunting down those that were threatening it's safety while preparing for the war with her brother, that she hadn't considered what would happen after the Last Keyblade War, before she smiled as she looked at Ponyville for a time, "For now I think I'll just hang around Ponyville, take in the sights and chat with the newcomers... I'm sure they have some interesting stories to tell, and everyone could use a break before we worry about anything else."

Twilight smiled and nodded her head, it was a wise thing to do after everything Sombra and the others had been through, to which she told them that she would be in her castle when they were ready to head to another part of Equus, causing the group to spread out to explore Ponyville, eager to meet the newcomers as they wondered what the coming hours had in store for them and this world.
