[◄◄REWIND◄◄]

 
 

500 years has past since Sora's final battle against Xehront. The worlds are now at peace. Sometime during the 500 year peace it was agreed upon that the worlds would be in-charge of two well known leaders: Alpha, and Omega. Everything went well. However one night the two of them were both mysteriously massacred each in their own domain. The worlds under Alpha's rule decided that they would pass what would be known as the "Purge Act" as in reaction to Alpha's murder. It's orders were simple: The Keyblade Wielding race was to be eliminated in every world,as they blamed a keyblade wielder for Alpha's murder. World armies were formed. They hunted the Keyblade Wielders down by the dozens,but the Keyblade Wielders formed a army of themselves to counter the Act in the name of Omega,who insists that his murderer belonged within Alpha's rule. A civil war erupted. Light vs light,brothers vs brothers,Keyblade Wielders vs non-keyblade wielders. Now, After 5 years of the war, there is only fighting in the worlds. No peace. No sight of an end. Both sides are relentless. Worlds had become battlegrounds and prizes to be won. Only the dead have seen the end of this war as darkest of shadows crawl beneath the blood stained streets. Alpha and Omega lived to form universal peace between their worlds,now their deaths were tearing them apart. Only one question remains: 

Which side will you choose?

 

 

-*-*-*-

The worlds were lead by two leaders: Alpha and Omega. One night they were both murdered at their own domains. The worlds under Alpha's reign claimed a keyblade wielder murdered Alpha,and decided to try to eliminate the Keyblade wielding race. The keyblade wielders fought back,claiming that Omega was murdered by someone from Alpha's side. So a civil war erupts with no end until one side wins,or neither.

~THINGS TO KNOW~

 

-Keyblade Wielders Union-

●Original Leader: Omega (Female)

 

●Current Leader: Ravio

 

 

●Sided worlds: (The worlds that they own/are on their side)

~Land of Departure: Still in function,currently handled by Keyblade Masters. Even though the world has declared itself "Neutral",the KWU uses it as a hospital for its most injured soldiers because of the Keyblade Master's knowledge in healing spells. From missing limbs to emotionally broken soldiers,only the worst of the worst end up here to rest,recover,and go back into the fight. For the sake of the Keyblade wielders,who many are barely children ranging from the ages of 16 to 21,the Keyblade Masters do their part in healing and helping them. 

 

~Disney Castle: This world is the most heavily protected of the KWU considering it is where the leaders of war live,plan their attacks and lead their armies. Currently residing here besides the KWU war leaders and soldiers are the Omega's children: Princess Yuri and Prince Ravio,forced into their positions after Omega's death. 

 

~Disney Town: A battle-scared city currently used as a military town. Here they train soldiers and wounded soldiers can live here with their families while they are in recovery. 

 

~Halloween Town: Active place for "vacations" within the troops. Rather independent,rarely sees war strangely enough. 

 

●Weaponry: Purely keyblades besides their gummi ships. 

 

-Worlds Powers Alliance-

●Original leader: Alpha (Male)

 

●Current Leader:  Talon

 

●Sided worlds: (The worlds that they own/are on their side)

~Twilight Town: Most important world to the WPA,as is where their leader Alpha resided and died,and the most heavily defended. The WPA is more active in this world than the rest. The old mansion in the forest is used as the HQ. The basement is used as the prison area. The flower pods are the prison "cells" as there is no lock for the keyblade wielders to open them with. The Clock Tower still stands and it along with its plaza is used as an execution plaza. The most common execution for prisoners of war (keyblade wielders or traitors) is hanging from the very top of the clock tower. 

 

~Atlantica: Not a very active world for wars at all,but the WPA has taken the advantage and built a giant underwater base within Atlantica where King Triton's castle once stood. Only way to get there is by Gummi ships/submarines. (Unless you're a keyblade wielder,who just transforms into half-sea creature) It is currently used as an HQ and a scientist lab,where they do human experimentation on war prisoners (Keyblade wielders and traitors) and after they're done they send the mutilated body to the KWU to recover it. 

 

~Port Royal: Dare I say party town. Yet very frequent war-zone. If you want to relax and get drunk,this is the place to be. 

 

~Christmas Town: Even though it is connected to Halloween Town by a portal,it rarely sees war. 

 

●Weaponry: They all use a varied range of weapons from knives to guns. Absolutely no keyblades.

 

-No Man's Land-

(Worlds with no owners as they are used as battlefields and/or the groups are currently fighting over it)

~Deep Jungle: To savage and extensive to keep under control. Used from time to time as a battle ground. 

~Keyblade Graveyard: Desolated world. Mostly used as a battle ground. The KWU does tend to leave the keyblades of fallen soldiers on here along with the ones already there from the keyblade war,only increasing the number of keyblade graves. Unknown activity tends to happen here. 

~Hollow Bastion: A mirror world of "Radient Garden" created by an unrecorded event this world is desolated. High activity for bloody battles is recorded here. It has witnessed the most number of deaths after a nuke was dropped here,killing thousands from both sides. The castle was mysteriously rebuilt (some say by heartless!),and it still stands today. 

~Pride Land: To wild to keep under control. Suspicious and unknown activity occurs here often. 

~The World That Never Was: Uninhabited according to records. But rumors say that they've seen people in the form of shadows or figures in the castle when going out on recon. 

~Castle Oblivion: Mirrored world of "Land of Departure". It's labyrinth design makes it impossible for use so it is currently abandoned. Or so they say. 

 

All other worlds' statuses are unknown.

Talon and Darius and two Miracle injected soldiers were in a cargo ship bound to Disney Castle. They would go to the world, destroy the castle, and try to mess up the military structure as much as they could. Barian troops would be called in if things went wrong. They soon docked at a Disney port. They got their uniforms on as the started unloading the 'material'. Talon and the others placed them in different trucks. The materials were bombs, ready to detonate at random parts of the city. Soon, Talon and his men separated. Talon saw a KWU soldier. He quickly covered his mouth and silt his throat. He soon dressed into his uniform. He made it clear. He would kill Ravio today. The KWU will suffer today. Talon rejoined a group of soldiers as he followed them. Smiling under his helmet,

 

Ahtxson smiled.'' It's funny Ravio. You remind me of an old friend. What was his name again? I think Vashle, but oh well. Now, I can help. I have traveled the universes throughout the galaxy, spreading the Keyblade everywhere I go. I can help. I can lived over 1000 years.'' Ahtxson smiled.'' I have faced death many times I call it a old friend. I will help you reclaim your lost worlds. Trust me, I am a man of my word.'' Ahtxson smiled. Soon, Disney Castle will change the tides of the war. Either for the best or for the worst on both sides.

Xion stood.

"We teleport in. The Third Fleet will charge in in a full frontal assault. It is the greatest fleet in the Avalon military; tRavio's mwn wont know what hit them. The Seventh is sneaking into Twilight Town as we apeak with an elite strike team, aiming to take down the HQ." Zion turned to Yuri.

"I want to be there. So the team is on long term standbye." She flared her wings. "We take Disney, then Twilight." Zion smiled. "Luna will lead Polaris team up the secondary staircase. Xion and I will hold the main staircase up and buy you time. Dont worry; I've fought way worse then royal guards. They wont know what they are fighting." She looked to the main screen. "Alright. It's time. Yuri, Xion will teleport you to your room. Luna, teleport Polaris. I will move and hit the royal guard before they realize the Third is attacking."

Keyblades flared into existance. "Hold Xion. No touchy, that's my thing." Zion teased.

 

Seris herself was with the Seventh Fleet. She and her most elite soldiers were tucked away in the belly of a Seahawk dropship, strapped in. Soon enough they would be off.

"No shooting yet. Zion will give the signal."

Yuri blinked and nodded. That’s when she noticed Xion kneeling down,to which she quickly waved her hands frantically.

 

“T-There’s no need to kneel down,g-get up.”Yuri said as she glanced back at Zion and Luna and stared somewhat scared. “H-Higher power? I’m not much of a leader though…”Yuri muttered as she glanced back at Xion and quickly helped her stand up. “There’s no need to kneel down to anyone.”Yuri muttered as she played with her fingers and started to pace around. She knew Disney Castle from the toes to the crown, She knew every corner,every nook and every cranny,including the secret passages that were strictly for royal family use only. “There are multiple gummiships in the front lines of Disney Castle. They have cannons and guards stationed around the wall. Protocol for enemy attack is for all fighters to get in their positions and royal guards to guard the stairs leading to the upper floor,no one gets in or out of it without getting through them. If the guards are distracted with a moving target,then I will be able to have the whole floor to myself to talk to Ravio.”Yuri talked as she thought of the different passages. “However…I worry that you guys might get shot down…please be careful if we’re doing this.”Yuri said as she played with her fingers nervously.

Arcticus and Winter were still holding hands, watching and listening to Zion's plans. "I guess we're heading back into the fray." he softly whispered, "Darn. I was hoping you and I could have some time to catch up. Oh well." He looked over to the princess and spoke up. "Your highness. Are you suggesting that my team be a distraction with a gummi ship? If so, we can handle it. Now that we're together again, there's almost nothing that can stop us."

 

"Luna will lead Polaris team up the secondary staircase. Xion and I will hold the main staircase up and buy you time. Dont worry; I've fought way worse then royal guards. They wont know what they are fighting." She looked to the main screen. "Alright. It's time. Yuri, Xion will teleport you to your room. Luna, teleport Polaris. I will move and hit the royal guard before they realize the Third is attacking."

"But... but... I don't know how to teleport." Luna softly protested to Zion. "The only way for me to teleport is when the princess is in danger, and even then I teleport only to her. Otherwise, the only way I'm getting anywhere other than where the princess is is by gummi ship."

Yuri looked at everyone. They were willing and more than energetic with going through this. It was a dangerous mission with lots of risks involved,but it had to be done if they were to take a step forward in this war. 

 

"Alright then. It seems we have a plan."Yuri said as she played with her fingers still. She glanced at everyone and could already feel the pressure of the mission. "What we're about to do might as well be a fool's arend,taking down two main worlds to our side in one day. But knowing what I know so far of everyone here."Yuri said as she slightly scratched her cheek. "It might as well be possible. So...lets make a promise that after this mission is over,all of us will be able to come back here and meet with eachother,alive."Yuri said. People were going to die,it was inventable,but she could atleast give some spirits for the mission and what might happen in it. Yuri looked over at Zion. "Alright Zion. Teleport me in. By the time I reach my brother I think that the guards will be distracted by the front attack."Yuri said with a hopeful voice. "(After this mission,maybe there will finally be a step to peace between the two sides of this stupid war.)"

 

...

 

Zack remained unconvinced,Ravio on the other hand seemed to have his spirits up to this keyblade wielding legend. 

 

"If you are willing to help us then we are willing to accept it. I just want to end this war quick and with as least losses as possible. I want a time that will be safe for my sister overall..."Ravio muttered as he trailed off into thought. Zack waved his fan regardless. 

 

"I will personally keep and eye on you to make sure you dont do anything that might upset his majesty."

"Luna, you still haven't learned how to teleport?" Zion facepalmed. "Kalmiya, just teleport them using the ship. Gonna cause a problem but, whatever." She grabbed Yuri's hand. "Let's go do this. Once Ravio is with you, the Third Fleet will engage and attempt to keep the Royal Guard busy and give you all the time you need." She patted Yuri's head playfully. "Trust us."

 

Xion came up beside Zion. "Everyone is ready and waiitng Zion. We all just need to move out and do this."

Yuri looked at everyone. They were willing and more than energetic with going through this. It was a dangerous mission with lots of risks involved,but it had to be done if they were to take a step forward in this war.

Xion came up beside Zion. "Everyone is ready and waiitng Zion. We all just need to move out and do this."

"I-... I-I'm sorry..." Luna sighed as Zion facepalmed. Arcticus meanwhile had radioed his team back to his position, and it wasn't long before Silber and Aurora formed up behind him and Winter. Their faces were glowing and Aurora's hair was obviously ruffled up, but the others didn't seem to notice as Luna shrunk away from Zion. "I-... I'll head to the teleport room then." With the Guardian almost shamefully making her way to the room in question, the rest of Polaris team followed closely behind her. They all checked their weapons and did their usual little good luck traditions: Silber double tapped his helmet, Aurora twisted her head to the sides until she heard a satisfying pop in her neck, Winter held her necklace that Arcticus gave to her a long time ago and whispered some words, and their newly reunited squad leader did a twirl with his keyblade. "Ready, team?"

 

"You bet, now that you're back." Silber happily replied.

"Alright then. Standing by, awaiting orders, Luna."

"F-follow me."

 

With the teleportation sequence beginning, everyone glanced at one another before their field of view was filled with a blinding flash of light...

 

[since this is teleporting into enemy territory, I guess the RP Master and/or Oath would describe what they all just teleported into...] 

A bright white light blinded Yuri’s vision from her surroundings. Yuri closed her eyes as she felt the entire enviorement around her change instantly. As she opened her eyes she found herself in her room. It was intact,just like they had left it when they sneaked in here a few hours ago. It was dusk,the sun beyond set down on the mountains as the darkness of night shrouded the world. The lamp posts started to light up the passages and areas of the palace grounds as soldiers quickly used either their firaga or flashlights to make their way from place to place,the lights from within the castle buildings starting to light up almost automatically as they would do every setting sun.

 

“(It’s dark,that means we will have an extra point of advantage of surprise.)”Yuri thought with a smile. “(This might turn out better than I thought.)” Yuri glanced at the stars that started to appear upon the sky and then turned back to Zion. “The others should be in their positions. With this we might weaken them and maybe knock some sense to my brother from the outside. Hopefully I can knock some sense into him from the inside however.”Yuri muttered as she walked over to the doors and carefully opened them,glancing back and forth down the hallway. As expected,there was no one in the halls at this hour. Not in this floor atleast. “Right. My brother’s room should be this way. Let’s go.”Yuri said as she ran up the hallways she knew as the palm of her hand. If things went according to plan the Polaris team should’ve teleported to the northern walls,just behind the castle. The guard there was minimum and just beyond the wall was a plentiful forest and mountains they could escape into if an emergency run was to be declared. “I hope they distract them,but I hope they don’t get themselves killed.”

If things went according to plan the Polaris team should’ve teleported to the northern walls,just behind the castle. The guard there was minimum and just beyond the wall was a plentiful forest and mountains they could escape into if an emergency run was to be declared. “I hope they distract them,but I hope they don’t get themselves killed.”

As the blinding light vanished from their view, the strike team was greeted with a disheartening sight: A massive wall stationed with some troops and the distant echoes of gummi ships doing their patrol runs. They were immediately surrounded by massive trees, and the serene sound of nature was a stark contrast to what they saw. The team immediately went prone, with Winter using her sniper skills to scout out the area. "They were right" she whispered to everyone else, "Barely any guards here."

 

"Gummi ships are doing their combat patrols" Silber quietly added, "From the sounds of the engines, there shouldn't be any more than a squadron above us right now." Arcticus nodded, then looked at Aurora. "Any observations?"

"We're supposed to be a distraction, right?"

"Affirmative."

"Lets hole up in one of those turret bunkers right there." She pointed to a cement and glass box that was jutting out from the castle walls, then trailed her finger down. "There's a blind spot for that. We should consider sneaking in, then light the fireworks."

"There's something on top of the bunker as well." Winter observed. Silber nudged his head between the blond girl and the sniper scope. "Holy-! Warhammer missiles! We can shoot down the gummi ships with those!"

Arcticus arrived at an unsurprising conclusion. "Alright then. Take over that bunker, then light the fireworks. Easy."

 

Off to their left was a beaten trail that led directly up to the walls, flanked by very green shrubbery and short grass. The soft chatter of a scout team was getting closer to them as Luna crawled her way to the very edge of their cover. "Is there any way to get these guys?" she whispered to the team.

 

"Negative. They're in full view of the bunker. We need to distract them and lure them out of sight." Arcticus warned. His face lit up at an idea. "Hey guys. How about we jump these people, grab their uniform and credentials, and get ourselves in a better position to take over that bunker?"

"That's so twisted! I like it!" SIlber silently chuckled.

Arcticus looked over to Winter. "I hate to ask you to do this. Is there any way you can make yourself sound wounded somewhere in the trees over there so we can all jump on them?" She looked horrified. "Other option is to send our assassin after them, but risk having the entire base on alert. I dunno about you, but I'd rather be fighting when we're fortified, not exposed like this." Her face scrunched. Despite being with him for as long as they can both remember, Winter didn't like the idea of facing their enemies and not being able to shoot at them. "Think quickly, Winter. They're gonna pass us pretty soon."

 

"Well... ok." she sighed.

"Great. Make your way to the trees over there and get their attention." he whispered, pointing off to their left where the menacing wall was facing. "Remember: Make sure they're out of sight of that bunker." Winter nodded, then crawled away into a thicket of trees off to the side of the beaten path. The rest of the team followed, trying their damned best not to make a sound as they set up their trap. Thankfully out of sight of the bunker, shhe sat up and leaned against a tree and started whimpering, clutching her side with her arrow-rifle resting in front of her as the rest of the team took strategic positions around her. Right on cue, the voices of the scouts could be heard.

 

"Hey, do you hear that?"

"Yeah, it sounds like it's coming from over there."

Two keyblade-armored recon personnel brushed aside the tall grass that stood between the trap and the beaten path. Their weapons were drawn with two keyblades pointing at the blond girl. "Woah. Check out that cutie." one of them remarked. The other pulled out their radio. "Recon Alpha to base, be advised we think we found a KWU recon. doesn't look like much of a threat as she is. We're gonna bring her in and lock her up." He placed the radio back around his belt, then looked at the blond haired girl. His voice immediately changed into a more menacing tone as he slowly approached her. "After we have a little fun with her. Don't worry, we're not gonna bang you up too badly. You'll still be alive when we bring you in, that's all that counts."

"Should we take a good slash her just to be safe?" the other recon member asked, not changing his stance at all.

"I prefer my toys to be alive and undamaged when I play with them. Besides, it's two keyblades versus one girl with a rifle so what's the worst she can do? The more she screams, th-"

 

Silber and Aurora fired their rounds simultaneously into the necks of the scout team, dropping them in an instant and without so much as a gurgle from them both. They both immediately followed up as they caught the falling bodies and pulled them into the cover of the nearby brushes. Luna, who was shocked at what the two men were going to do to Winter and the quick response of the team, blinked for a moment before checking the surrounding area to see if anybody else was around. 

"Filthy pigs" Aurora growled. "Hey Silber, his voice sounded just like yours."

"Way ahead of you, dearie."

 

The two male members of Polaris team quickly donned on the disguises of the enemy scout team. Silber and Aurora were pretty great with their shots: the hole for the projectiles could easily be mistaken with branches that caught on to the armor. As soon as they were finished adjusting to their new apparel and checking out the equipment, the radio cackled with a voice.

 

"Watch to Alpha, status?" Silber placed the helmet over his head and reached for the radio. "Alpha. The scout has fallen unconscious, but there were two other girls who tried to jump us. We got them good and all tied up, so we're gonna have some fun tonight."

"Haha, I'll let our boys know that we got some new meat on the way. Bring 'em in Alpha."

 

Arcticus looked at the girls. "Ok. Luna, I'm gonna carry you over my shoulder. Play possum for a while until we're inside the walls and latch your keyblade onto Silber's back. Aurora, Winter, hands behind your back. We'll break these handcuff chains so it will only look like you are restrained. Silber, sling their arrow-rifle onto their backs. That way, when we spring for the bunker, the girls can whip out their weapons, and Luna and I will make a mad dash for it and strike down anyone who gets in the way. Sounds good?" Everyone nodded in agreement, but Luna had a pressing question.

"Why can't I be disguised as a keyblader?"

Arcticus pointed at his chest. "You have something me and Silber don't. It'd be kinda obvious." When they stepped onto the beaten path in front of the bunker, Arcticus was carrying Luna over his shoulder and holding his keyblade out at Winter, Silber was hold Aurora's hands behind her, and both girls were slowly walking towards the wall. "Play it cool, girls." Silber whispered under his breath as they approached the checkpoint guards. Thankful for the helmets covering their faces, the guards weren't suspicious of SIlber and Arcticus as they stopped them at the gate. One of them gave a low whistle. "Nice catch. This is gonna be a fun night!" 

 

"You bet" Silber responded, remembering to alter his voice slightly. "Hey, who's up in the bunker up there?"

"Did you hit your head or something? Head of Watch is stationed up there, bozo. Why?"

There was a moment of silence from Silber. "... So he can examine our prizes." Aurora was fighting tooth and nail to stop herself from punching every guy around her, her squadmates included, for treating her and the others as nothing more than a toy for their pleasure. The guards waved them into the compound, and the team were finally inside the walls. "Smooth thinking, Silber" Arcticus whispered. "Almost there, girls. Just a little longer, then we can let them have it." Keeping up the act, Arcticus motioned his keyblade towards the bunker, and the entire posse changed direction as they started heading up the stairs. Two more guards were stationed up top, flanking both sides of a door that led into the bunker. "What do you think you're doing?" one of them sternly asked. 

 

Silber played his role. "Figured that Watch would want to see what we bagged.""Then put them in the brig. When he's finished with duty, he'll come down and examine them himself."

The two boys looked at one another. "I just thought that maybe... he would want first dibs on one of these girls, you know?"

The other guard gripped Winter's chin and tilted her head up. "And ruin my chances of being the first to break this girl? Nah. Turn around and send them away." The first guard had already summoned his keyblade and was altering his stance in a threatening manner. The boys had to think fast: They were exposed on three fronts and everyone below had a clear shot at them if their cover was blown. 

 

Silber decided to throw caution into the wind as he yelled at the door. "Hey Watch! C'mon out and claim your prize!" The first guard seemed to resign from whatever he was about to do as his shoulders and arms sank. The door slid open, and a well decorated officer greeted them and examined the girls. "Nice catch, alpha. I call dibs on the unconscious girl right there" he nodded towards Arcticus and Luna. "Give her to me and send the others away. I'm gonna make her wake up with a scr-"

 

In one smooth motion, Arcticus summoned his keyblade and thrust it into one of the guards, then quickly threw Luna at the officer. Aurora and Winter immediately grabbed their rifles and shot the other guard and officer, but it was too late as he screamed some profanity before being silenced by an arrow-shot. An entire battalion of keybladers looked up to where they're at and started scurrying around the castle grounds as alarms started ringing along with an electronic voice telling everyone about the situation. "Alert! Intruders on the north castle walls! Repeat! Intruders on the north castle walls!" The team charged into the not-so-safe haven of the bunker and locked the door behind them. "I can't believe we just did that!" Silber breathed as he took the ID card of the officer and furiously started typing away on the console next to the window that overlooked the forest. "I'll get the missile system online and take care of any gummi ships that try to blast us away!"

 

Arcticus kicked into high gear. "Great! Aurora, take that door! I'll take the other! Winter, get up top and start sending rounds! Luna, you... uh..."

"I'll... I'll go with Winter and support her. Silber, if a gummi ship is about to take us all out, p-please let me know. I'll form a shield and save us all."

"Will do miss! We got company!"

 

As expected, a squadron of gummi ships were flying directly toward the bunker. Outside, the heavy footsteps of keyblade soldiers ascending the staircase sounded their impending deaths, but Aurora wasn't taking any of it as she was screaming profanity and sending a hail of arrow-shots with her dual sub-rifle configuration. Winter was above the bunker, her aim cold and true as every trigger pulled resulted in someone falling...

The Keyblade Wielder's Union's Base was about to know hell.

 

Zion and Xion, beside Yuri, summoned their Keyblades - Zion's dual double ended ones then flashing and being covered in golden flames. Zion looked at Xion, then kissed her beloved.

"Give them a hell unseen since The Rowan Conflict." Xion said.

"You give them a surprise unseen since the Xehanort Conflict." She quipped back. The two then turned and rested their hand on Yuri's shoulders. "Good luck."

The duo ran off, Xion one way and Zion the other.

 

Wishing Teresse had not been called away to a different dimension, Zion appeared at the foot of the stairs, Keyblades held in the darkness behind her, flames out. "Hey! I'm Keyblade Master Zion, and this is my favorite store on the Citadel!"

The guards turned, Keyblades drawn. Frowning, they regarded the girl...cautiously. "How did you get past us?"

"Easy. I teleported." She did so, now behind them. "I'm also here to take over your post. Guarding these stairs are my responsibility."

"On who's authority?" One demanded.

"Etro. Yuri. You know. Both of your goddesses."

"I don't believe you.""By the goddess." Zion muttered. "Can't you be idiots? Seriously. I'm wearing one of Yuri's tiaras for the love of Xion in a bikini." She yanked her Keyblades down, smacking the Keyblade Warriors down. Grasping her blades, strangely, her left eye flashed cerulean blue - the same blue as Xion's eyes. "Now, this castle belongs to Dawn. Not to Ravio, not to genocide, but to Light." She walked over the groaning Keybladers.  "First this castle, then my hometown. Stay down; I don't want to hurt you."

But of course they got up and charged, and like a flowing river Zion turned and struck two down unconscious. The other five formed a perimeter, one calling for backup.

"You are under arrest in the name of King Ravio!"

"You are all condemned to defeat in the name of Claire Farron, Lightning, Champion of Etro. You are resigned to fall before the blade of Oriana. And by Etro, you will be taught why mercy and compassion are stronger then hatred and revenge."

Her twin angel wings burst forth in glorious light, and her golden flames erupted, covering the wings and her Keyblades. The display of power caused the guards to shrink back in fear. "I am the Guardian of Salvation's Dawn, and your worst nightmare."

 

Two ran right off the bat. The other three charged. Zion swung once, catching one Keyblade, then swung again, catching another. As the third prepared to charge, Zion's wings swung and cocooned herself and the first two guards. The sounds of flashing light and lasers was heard, and smoking guards, whimpering in pain, were dropped. "That was a fraction of Albion's power." She threw both Keyblades, then followed up with a flying roundhouse kick that threw the last guard into the wall. "That was what Chuck taught me." She looked to the left, then to the right, as more and more guards poured in. She smirked, Keyblades returning to her hands.

"Welcome to Sunrise."

 

Xion, meanwhile, wasn't like that. She used her appearance as the legendary Kairi (or, well, slight resemblance) to win over a few guards, until another decided to not believe her. She now was executing jumps Yoda would be proud off, flying around the battlefield in a furor. As she executed Event Horizon, she only went faster and harder, downing the guards. But the first seven were only a fraction; as she knocked down the last, more and more guards arrived.

"Zi..." She muttered. Within moments, a Keyblade flashed into existance, stabbed before her. Xion had expected Blazing Midday; instead...

"So...it looks like you've decided...his blade would serve me." She grasped the Keyblade firmly, the blade Zion had summoned only twice before in their lifetime.

"Madrigal of Eternal Dawn, play your song of hope." She said. the Keychain flashed to life, and Xion charged.

 

 

In space, the KWU fleet of Gummi Ships were sitting around when Avalon's Fleets arrived. Caught unawares, the KWU fell swiftly before the coordinated wave of Avalon. The Sarah Aether led the charge, followed closely by Dawn Over Heaven and Dominion, the sister ship of the Seraphim, which was currently..."missing" shall we say. The rest of the Third, Seventh, and Thirteenth fleets followed, the best of the best of Avalon now charging into an insane frontal assault on the most heavily defended KWU world there was. But that was why the best was there.

 

As the Sarah Aether launched launched missiles, Seris Aether stood. "This is Seris Aether of the Avalon Defense Initiative. We have taken out your vanguard and are now entrenching on your space defenses. We will give you one chance to stand down, and have all your ground forces stand down. Before you complain about us attacking first, don't lie. You wouldn't have given one of our ships a chance to respond. You would have attempted genocide. So stand down; your princess, Yuri herself, wishes for time with Ravio. Give our Princess, the Princess I, the Head Representative of the World of Gummis, will gladly bow to, the time to talk, or we shall give it to her. It is your choice; choose wisely."

Talon was inside the castle. He heard the attack going on. In space, those rebels were attack the KWU spaceships. He knew they were going to go for Twilight Town soon too so that's why he recalled warships to protect it. Even if it fell, the WPA wouldn't. Talon removed his KWU uniform helmet. He knew he would have to kill Ravio, He soon sensed something. Yuri. The Miracle users were able to sense each other so now, he'll be able to find her. The Miracle has completely fused with her DNA. He ran through the halls until he saw him. Ahtxson. The two men stared at each other.'' Why hello, you must be Talon.'' Ahtxson said as he summoned Blackwing. Talon knew who Ahtxson was. He was the Third Keyblader, The man who killed Vector, the First Keyblader. He also had the Keyblade of Gods on him, so Talon knew he wouldn't be able to win. AT least until now. Talon drew his sword and rushed towards Ahtxson. The two exchanged blows until Ahtxson had feathers form around him. Soon, Talon was up against the wall with several wounds. He coughed up blood. He saw Ahtxson walk up towards him.'' It's funny. Your suppose to be one of the two powerful men in the universe, but I guess when you met someone stronger, you can't win.'' Ahtxson said. Talon sat there, wounded. He knew he couldn't win. He was going to die here. He then remembered his promise to Yao Fei. Someone stirred into Talon as Ahtxson rushed towards him. Talon screamed as darkness formed around his and soon, Ahtxson was sent back through a wall. Talon stood there. A black and white keyblade in his hand. Talon stared with horror and excitement. Ahtxson stood shocked.'' So Ahtxson, you ready for round 2?'' Talon asked as he swung his new Keyblade and normal sword in both hands.

Yuri stopped on her tracks as she glanced to the side. Blood started to roll down her nose as she felt the strangest feeling. It was as if she had a compass attached to her and it wanted to lead her to a certain direction somewhere.

 

“Wha…”

 

…

 

Within the KWU Gummi Ships that surrounded the world,all of the soldiers stood still. They didn’t know what to do. Their training told them that they were to fight back and protect the world,but the mention of the royal family was never in the training.

 

“The Princess?”

 

“I thought she went missing?”

 

A particular soldier wasn’t panicking unlike the rest.

 

“Vashle!” The young soldier turned and blinked at his superiors.

 

“Yes?”He asked as he walked over to them.

 

“We managed to form a communication with the rebel ship…talk to it.”

 

“Why me?!”

 

“Just do it.” With that Vashle was left alone in the cabin with the radio. Vashle stared and blinked a few times before turning to the radio. He carefully got the

headphones on him and got close to the microphone.

 

“KWU ship number 5468…the princess is still alive?”Vashle asked in slight disbelief considering of all the rumors that had been spreading around.

 

…

 

Ravio sat in his chair within his quarters. He played with a framed picture as he remained calm even if the alarm of intrusion had went off. His best men had spread across the castle grounds to command certain points. Suddenly the door slammed open. Ravio turned his head only to see Yuri standing at the doorway across him.

 

“Y…Yuri…?”Ravio muttered,almost speechless. Yuri gulped to herself and gave a nod.

 

“Yes.”Yuri said as she took a few steps forward. Ravio stood up and walked over to her.

 

“You had me worried. I’m glad to see you’re alright. If you were being kept hostage you should’ve said so and I could’ve killed them.”Rarvio said in a calm voice as he rubbed Yuri’s head. Yuri stared unamused.

 

“Ravio,I wasn’t held hostage,I’m with them by choice.”Yuri said. Ravio blinked a few times and let go of Yuri.

 

“Then why are you here?”Ravio asked.

 

“I’m here to convince you to stop this stupid war.”Yuri said. Ravio remained silent for a few seconds before bursting out laughing.

 

“That’s a good one!”Ravio laughed.

 

“I-I’m serious!”Yuri yelled as she stepped closer. “This war is costing the lives of soldiers and innocents! This war has to stop,there must be a way for the KWU and the

WPA to make peace. But we need to take the first step otherwise this war will wipe out both sides.”

[i edited some details of my last post because I totally forgot I was dealing with keybladers The result is still the same though...]

 

"Come get some!" Silber yelled at the console as he released several missiles from the bunker, letting the lethal weapons scream towards their targets. Winter was busying herself atop the bunker with her arrow-sniper, but was only able to down a couple keybladers before they wised up to their weapons and started deflecting her shots. "Damn" she growled. 

 

"Wait. I can help." Luna softly replied. She pulled out several silver orbs from one of her pouches that was secured around her waist. "Shoot these when they're near the enemies. It'll create an explosion for you." As Winter gave her a confusing look, Luna threw some of her magical orbs to the ground below. "Try it." She obliged, and carefully aimed at the tiny silver target. SHe pulled the trigger, and the spectacular explosion that resulted from the teamwork left the cold sniper speechless. "I used to help... him... all the time by doing this." Luna added. "I threw a couple of them. Find them and shoot!"

 

Arcticus puckered up as what looked like a hoard of keybladers were charging up the stairs towards him. Too focused to wet himself, he realized that other than being a medic and leader, he wasn't good at the single most important role in combat: fighting, which he usually let his squadmates do. As the hoard of keybladers got closer, Luna's keyblade came from above and was spinning towards the front-most soldier. The weapon connected, dropping the enemy immediately as the weapon vanished into a white mist. "You can do it, Arcticus!" he heard her scream. 

 

"Oi! Arcticus! Use this!" he turned around and saw Silber holding out his arrow-rifle at him. "Take them out from a distance, then use your blade if they get close!"

"The princess is alive and in your castle. By now you shall hear of the only staircases to the upper floors being guarded by Keyblade Wielders of u matched power and skill holding at bay your royal guards. We control the flow of battle, and on my honor, the honor of Xion and Zion, and od my dead friend Riley, who died ensuring i could stand here...the Princess is our princess now, too. So stand down all, and let us end this war of hatred. Please. We wish to takw back Twilight Town, and turn our tower, the tower that now is being used for death, and sorrow...help us turn that tower of death back into the tower of friendship, and the tower of hope. The hope for a new day, as each person watches that sunset fall slowly." The bridge crew was quiet. Seris was crying.

"So what is it, Wielder? Will you side with your Princess, for a new hope, a new day of life? Or continue your war of genocide and forever be tainted by darkness."

 

Zion did a backflip. She was really holding back. She needed endurance...which meant her abilities were out of the question. Golden flames trailing, she threw back the next wave. They were good. But they blindly charged for an unjust cause, and no unjust cause could stand to thenpure light her heart emitted. Guards lay crumpled around her.

Zion had not taken a single life in the fight, a matter that caused the attacks to falter. As wounded were dragged away, the other guards slowed their attacks.

"Not a single life." Zion said softly. "I have refused to kill. Why? Because I am here so Yuri, my Princess, will speak to her brother. Death has nomplace."

 

Xion had seriously wounded but did not kill, either. Training with Zion had brought her into the mindset only monsters deserved death, not people. Only when the people became monsters would death be just.

She stood on the stairs, Keyblades set. Guards warily kept out of range, unable to combat such skill and mercy.

"So. Will you guards stand down and allow your princess to speak unhindered?"

Talon stood there across from Ahtxson. Both men exchanging glares. Talon had just summoned a keyblade. Ahtxson laughed.'' For the wpa leader to summon a Keyblade is a laughing stock, but doesn't matter. I have finished my business here. I'll see ya around Talon.'' Ahtxson said as he disappeared into feathers. Talon stared puzzled.'' He could have killed me right here, but he chose not to. If my hutch is correct, then that must be the same man I had Alpha killed by, but I don't know for certain.'' Talon raised his Keyblade as is disappeared. He realized he must keep this power a secret. He then felt something. He started running towards the location he felt Yuri at. He then used his sword to slash a hole through the wall into a throne room. Talon walked through as he saw Ravio, Yuri, and the rebel. Now they were here. The three leaders of the forces. The WPA, the KWU, and the rebel forces were in the same room. In this instance, history would be made.

The entire ship grew silent. The uniformed keyblade wielders could barely mutter to eachother due to the dead silence. Vashle himself got his hand over his chest as he could feel his heart ache. He had lost so many close people due to this war. His best friend Giotto had died in his arms just a month ago after falling victim to a WPA mine. His father had died due to gunshot wounds,his rattled body sent in a casket. His big brother had been executed at the Twilight Town tower,his body later on burned along with many others. They never gave him a proper burial.

 

“(That pain…)”Vashle bit his lip. His voice shook from the sudden rush of adrenaline. “…I-“

 

“That doesn’t concern us.” Everyone suddenly turned to their leader,comander Romeo. “Our duty as soldiers is to protect those that fall under the rule of the KWU rule,including keyblade wielders and their families,and the royal family itself.” Romeo looked around his ship. “We follow under the orders of the royal family! A man from the WPA killed our queen in her most delicate moment of grief,and the WPA celebrated as if it was the best thing in the world!” Romeo’s glare turned to the side. “Our princess is our princess,and we respect her,but we have absolutely NOTHING to do with YOU! We will follow OUR orders,and the KWU is going to WIN this war!”Romeo said. There was silence mixed with mutter. Romeo gave a slight smirk as he turned to his technitians. “Fire the cannons.” Before anyone else could say anything else,Vashle punched Romeo across the face. Romeo fell on the ground,feeling his cheek as he spat out blood. Vashle stood there with rage in his eyes.

 

“Could your loyalty truly blind you so much? Aren’t any of you tired of this f*cking war?!”Vashle screamed as he breathed heavily,throwing the headphones against the ground. “Don’t you see,we keep fighting and we’re going to get ourselves killed and everything destroyed!!!” The crew stared at eachother,their minds wondering of everything they had seen. Before anyone could respond Romeo was laughing and chuckling. He stood up,blood flowing down his lip.

 

“You really think that it will be that easy to cause peace? We have tried to make peace before all in failure attempts! What makes you think this will be any different?!”Romeo said as he got up to Vashle’s face. “You have stepped over your boundaries this time,Vashle. You are now under arrest for assaulting an officer of higher command! Everyone aim your cannons at the ship and fire!!!”Romeo commanded. Before Vashle could move soldiers were already holding him down,using anti-keyblade wielding handcuffs to hold his hands back as he struggled fiercely.

 

…

 

The two siblings didn’t even had to think twice about it. They both summoned their keyblades and pointed them at Talon.

 

“How did you get in here?!”Both siblings asked. They then suddenly stared at eachother,to which Yuri jumped back and stepped to her own space. Ravio turned to Talon.

 

“What the hell are you doing here? Are you really looking for a frieking death wish?!”Ravio hissed.

Of course, Seris had expected that. The cannons blasts smashed and disappated into her shields, and more warp points opened. More and more warships came out as the vanguard opened fire.

"That is why it always is a failure. You have lost all hope, and thus have fallen into the deepest despair. So you shall fall, and those who wish for peace, shall stand aside and let us pass."

Missiles and cannon blasts hammered the vessel, unfortunately probably dooming Vashle. "To the brave soldier who decided might isn't right, and peace is never too far gone, I am sorry. But I can't save you." She sighed softly. "Your death is one my conscience will mourn for."

 

The Fleets of Avalon descended upon the bloodlust-wanting Keybladers, unloading the righteous fury of heaven unto them. Fighters and bombers swarmed into the Keyblader's fleet, the sheer numbers just falling upon them like a swarm. Among them, corvettes and frigates used the swarms to sneak in and hit the KWU gummi ships in their blind spots, and soon enough the Sarah Aether accelerated.

"Full power to shields. Transfer all weapons power and everything nonessential."

Lights went out, things went quiet, and the cook's souffle died. The massive warship accelerated, covered by a nigh impenetrable wall of ships. As frigates and bombers struck Warship 5468's engines, attempting to deaden it in the water, the pride of the Avalon navy decided to really piss people off and just run over the idiots who decided peace was unobtainable.

 

Zion, meanwhile, felt that cold chill of knowledge. Knowing something was wrong, she flew back and opened fire with her Albion Strike, blocking the staircase. Flying up and as fast as possible, she arrived before Talon and the siblings. Keyblades out, she dropped in front of Yuri and Ravio in a crouch, wings folding and fading.

"You." She looked up. "You won't touch my princess." Zion's Keyblades angled for battle. "Knock some sence into your brother, Yuri. I'll ensure you have enough time to knock him around."

She flared her wing into existence again, her tiara bathed in golden light. Zion was mad, and right now, really wanted to destroy something.

 

Xion merely held the line, the guards doubling. Zion must have left and blocked the staircase.

No matter. Xion was best in endurance, and by god, this would be her stand.

"The princess is alive and in your castle. By now you shall hear of the only staircases to the upper floors being guarded by Keyblade Wielders of u matched power and skill holding at bay your royal guards.

Xion merely held the line, the guards doubling. Zion must have left and blocked the staircase.

No matter. Xion was best in endurance, and by god, this would be her stand.

Meanwhile... Outside the main castle, in a bunker on a wall...

 

Furious that there were more gummi ships heading towards the team than there were missiles available, Silber growled as a friendly service announcement cackled on the nearby console. "Warning! Enemies within the castle! All personnel, report immediately!" Winter was the first to notice as she saw the guards stop in their tracks, then started running away from their fortified positions and into the main castle complex. "Out of missiles!" Silber yelled to the squad, "And there are a lot of ships out there! We should run inside the castle and help out Zion and the princess!"

 

"Good idea!" Arcticus yelled back, sending one last arrow-shot down the stairs before handing the trusty weapon back to its original owner. "Regroup, team!" Aurora, Winter, and Luna obeyed as they all left their posts and gathered around him. "We should head inside and see if we can help out the other girls." They all nodded, then started making their way down the stairs. The groans of injured keyblade guards were heard everywhere as they got closer to one of the walls of the main castle. Luna and Winter smiled at one another before motioning the team to stand back. The former tossed one of her special spherical orb at the wall, the latter waited until it rolled up against it before pulling the trigger. Another spectacular explosion, and the only thing left after the explosion was a gaping hole in a daunting looking wall. "That's one way to make an entrance... literally." Aurora remarked as they all stepped through. "Silber dear, monitor the airwaves and see where the rest are holed up."

 

"Way ahead of you. They're in the royal family quarters. Go up a grand staircase, and we should be there in no time. My attempts of hacking the cameras here have failed though. Damn encryption method is beyond anything I have ever seen, and using that officer's access code isn't working either. We'll be going in blind and in close quarters..."

 

He heard the sound of the arrow-rifles being reloaded in a particular fashion as he turned around to face the team. "Lemme guess, there's a shotgun form for this thing?"

Surprisingly, Luna nodded. "These weapons are somewhat magical and can meet any demand that you may need. But don't expect to drop the guards in a couple of shots.""We're on technical orders to go non-lethal for this, so that will do, Luna." Arcticus replied back.

 

The response took Luna's breath away. He said that just like... Like...... Her thoughts recollected as the squad leader motioned the team forward. "Follow the guards, and they'll lead us to Zion and the princess. Easy." Right on cue, several menacing-looking, matte black keyblade armored personnel silently marched right in front of them, but miraculously Polaris Team wasn't detected by them. "Shadow Sentinels... Damn." Arcticus hissed as the team trailed them at a ridiculously safe distance. "Luna, those are the people who replaced your kind. Doesn't make 'em any less formidable though. You Guardians went from being a myth to a scary reality over the past 500 years." He audibly gulped as his grip visibly tightened on his keyblade. "Zion could be in real trouble here with those... things responding to the situation now."

Talon stood there as Ravio and Yuri had their keyblades pointed at him. Talon sighed.'' To think ya would be fighting instead of talking. Now, Yuri, You will come with me now.'' Talon said as he saw Yuri not moving.'' I guess it's true. You actually adapted to the Miracle. Not surprising.'' Talon said as he turned to Ravio.'' You know, you look just like your father Yao Fei. Too bad your going to join him in the near future. I'm actually here to deliver a message. One that would shock this very room itself.'' Talon said as he breathed. He knew he couldn't let this secret out but it was the only way.'' Yuri isn't Yao Fei's daughter. Omega and Alpha had a secret affair. Thus, Yuri, making you a bastard child that should have never existed! You ever wonder why Ravio was chosen as leader? Because he was actually a full keyblader and not a half breed like you! Why did you think Omega's staff treated you differently then Ravio?!'' Talon shouted as he saw the shocked expressions on everyone's faces.'' Now that I have delivered my message, I can now do this.'' Talon then jumped in the air as he started flying with rocket boots at the castle shook as explosions occurred throughout inside the castle.'' I had my soldiers plant bombs throughout the castle. Now, let us see who will live.'' Talon said as he flew out through the window and landed in Darius's arms as they both teleported back to Twilight Town with a teleported device given to them by the barians as the castle started collapsing.

The Disney Castle staff screamed as they ran for their lives from the falling pieces or concrete and glass. The soldiers directed the staff and evacuated all floors as possible,risking their lives to make sure the others could get out. The century old castle had finally given in,the explosions giving it the push it needed to give up on itself. The soldiers outside started to call out as they moved the injured and the people away from the nearby castle perimeter. It was chaos. To many it was as if the world was coming to an end. It only made it worse as a Gummi Ship crashed straight into the castle. The royal guard led by Zack ran up the stairs,looking for their king.

 

"Be careful!"One of the guards yelled as he pulled Zack back,a giant piece of concrete crashing down against the staircase,dust covering the area. The group coughed and glanced at their now blocked entry way.

 

"F*ck!King Ravio!!!"Zack yelled.

 

"What do we do?!"

 

"Report, a Gummi Ship just crashed the castle!!!"

 

Zack gritted his teeth as he glanced around at the area.

 

"We move to plan B."Zack said.

 

...

 

Before any of them could truly react,they were attacked. Bombarded by the armada before them. Everyone was shaken off their fleets,falling hard against the floor. The alarms soon went off as the glass of the windows shattered,its pieces spreading everywhere. The screams of the warriors pierced the silence of space as explosions occurred all over the ship. The lights went out,the engine killed as they were rammed by the mother ship. Vashle felt as his body hit every wall and every corner like a rag doll inside a shaking box. He could hear his bones shattering and snapping as blood flew down his ears and nose. For a few seconds there was pure silence,that is,until the gravity of the world started to pull in the ship,and so it started to fall into the world itself. Vashle was instantly slammed up against the now useless monitor as blood covered his vision. He coughed and glanced up,only to see the castle nearing,or better to say,them crashing into the castle.

 

...

 

Yuri stared in shock,her grip on her keyboard softening as she stated short of breath.

 

"...what...I..."Yuri muttered. She glanced at Ravio, who was also shocked,unable to express himself. "Impossible...you're lying!"Yuri screamed,by this point the explosions shook the castle and Talon had flexed. Yuri stabbed her keyblade to the ground to keep her balance. "(He's lying...he has to be...)"Yuri thought. It couldn't be,it was impossible. She never met her father because he had died,she was always called princess and Omega loved her and so did the staff...right? Ravio and her grew up as brother and sister and even in the short time she was with her father,according to witnesses,he truly loved her. The castle shook as the walls cracked and shattered,glass shattering as furniture shook and misplaced itself due to gravity. "He's...lying,right,Ravio?!" Ravio remained silent,even though his gaze remained on her. Yuri's eyes started to tear up. "Ravio?"Yuri asked once more. Before he could answer,a Gummi Ship crashed into the castle,metal,explosions,concrete,it went frieking everywhere. The Gummi Ship crashed through one of the walls and right into the floor. With that the floor started to give in with the rest of the building as it shattered and bent down with the walls. Ravio was launched off against the ground due to the force as Yuri hang onto her keyblade. Ravio skidded on the floor and fell off the edge. Yuri's eyes widened. Without thinking she picked up her keyblade and threw herself to the edge,extending her arm and caching Ravio's hand before he could fall off,Yuri holding onto the edge as she hang onto her brother,despite the collapsing surroundings around them. "Hang on,Ravio!!!"Yuri said as she tried to pull Ravio up. Even with her enhanced strength,she could only do so much with the fully grown Ravio. The concrete crashed and the metal bent as screams echoed. Ravio never took off his eyes from his sister. He then softened his grip,letting his hand slip from hers. Tears fell down Yuri's face out of fear. "Ravio,what are you doing,hang on!!!"She demanded. It fell on deaf ears as Ravio slipped from her grip and fell into the abyss of the collapsing castle. "RAVIO!"Yuri screamed. As she watched her brother fall she could feel the worst of sadness and pain rushing across her body. Suddenly a keyboard glider zoomed by her,rushing to Ravio and catching him just in time. Ravio's glance landed on his savior.

 

"Zack."He muttered. There was Zack,covered in his armor,as he rode his keyboard glider.

 

"I am here,your majesty."Zack said as he glanced back. "The princess?!" Ravio stared down.

 

"Never mind her."Ravio said.

 

"But-!"Zack said as he stopped when he saw Ravio's stare. "...yes,your majesty." And so he took off. Yuri stared in relief as her brother was safe. Suddenly the ground beneath her shook again as the floor where she sat on collapsed on itself,Yuri and her keyblade falling off the edge. Yuri felt her heart skip a beat as she fell face first into the abyss,that is,until someone grabbed her ankle and stopped her from falling. She glanced to her feet to see a bloody Vashle holding her ankle with one hand,as he held onto the edge with the other. Pieces of glass were stabbed into his skin,cuts and bruises covering him as blood covered his face and lips. The bastard survived the crash.

 

"I've got you,princess."Vashle muttered out of breath as he then glanced at the arm that he used to hold onto the edge,the pain of the dislocated shoulder spreading as his tendons stretched. "But I don't think we have much longer..."

Zion's dawnguard shields appeared under Vashle and Yuri's feet, giving them support. Zion was flying by them, watching Ravio escaped.

"The circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant, but it's what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are." Zion pulled them up and onto a stable ledge. "Time to go I believe. Ravio's gone and Talon escaped, and now I'm quite angry." She took their arms and teleported them away and into the Forward Unto Dawn, casting Curaga as they settled down next to Xion, who had been teleported there by Kalmiya.

 

Soon, Polaris Team and Luna were teleported right near them, with Zion catching Luna. "Hey cutie. Miss me?" She smirked softly, putting her down. The entire ship shook.

"Sorry, ran over some Union ship." Kalmiya reported. "Disney Castle has fallen. We're heading to regroup with the Avalon fleet, who is now ceasing combat operations. We're preparing to attempt to offer assistance. This time, these idiots should realize that we are not the enemy. Not anymore."

Seris Aether again tried.

"My name is Seris Aether. We of Avalon have ceased all combat operations against the Union and are prepared to send medical teams to help with the tragedy of Disney Castle. Ravio might be of hatred, but we are prepared to set aside this fool's war and help. We are all human; let us act humane." She paused. "My boyfriend was a Keyblade Wielder murdered by Talon and his World Powers Alliance. I am not your enemy. It's time you realized that."

Zion's dawnguard shields appeared under Vashle and Yuri's feet, giving them support. Zion was flying by them, watching Ravio escaped.

"The circumstances of one's birth are irrelevant, but it's what you do with the gift of life that determines who you are." Zion pulled them up and onto a stable ledge. "Time to go I believe.

"My boyfriend was a Keyblade Wielder murdered by Talon and his World Powers Alliance. I am not your enemy. It's time you realized that."

Trailing the Shadow Sentinels as they were heading up the grand staircase to the royal bedrooms, Polaris Team was surprised when their visions started to blur and brighten. Panicking, the team froze, then hugged one another as they all teleported away back onto to Zion's ship. Luna's quiet cries of fear immediately turned into a squeal of joy as Zion caught her.

 

"Hey cutie. Miss me?"

 

Luna wrapped her arms around her winged savior, giggling. "How did you know?"

 

Arcticus slowly eased up on his hug around Winter as he opened his eyes. "I think we're good." he told the rest of his squadmates. Silber and Aurora had buried their heads in each other's shoulders. They looked around, then finally released their grip on one another as Winter gently nuzzled her fiance. As the onboard AI announced her plans, Polaris Team could only listen and watch as the situation unfolded.

Vashle was rather relaxed as his wounds were taken care of. The fact he had survived the crash still impressed him,he had a lot to be thankful for currently. Yuri's gaze remained on the floor. Talon's words echoed in her mind loudly as her head pounded painfully from the stress.

 

"Yuri isn't Yao Fei's daughter. Omega and Alpha had a secret affair. Thus, Yuri, making you a bastard child that should have never existed!"

"(It can't be...I was never meant to exist?)"Yuri thought. She always was treated so well when in public. The servants did mutter and whispered certain things when she was around but they were only royal gossip,right?

 

...

 

The soldiers glanced at the ships. The injured were being taken care of as it was silent within the hold of Disney Castle,or what was left of it. Ravio walked up as he had his hands behind his back. He kept his composure rather well as he stared.

 

"You really believe we will give into you out of all people?"Ravio asked calmly. He sighed. "You have much to learn. I am a king,no one simply tells me what to do. Especially from people such as yourselves."Ravio said calmly. The tone of his voice was chilling. He sighed,as if disappointed,taking out a walkie talkie. "I really didn't wanted to resort to this."Ravio said as he pressed a button. "Garry,we require assistance,we have enemy ships surrounding the world."Ravio said. An unfamiliar voice spoke back. "Copy that. We will begin assault." Suddenly a blue portal appeared above the world. These enormous battleships came out. They were like Gummi ships,but improved,stronger,bigger,more dangerous. Zack stared with wide eyes.

 

"Ravio...?!"Zack asked,his voice shaking. Ravio smiled.

 

"If Talon wants help from the other dimension,then so do I,two can play that game."Ravio said as he looked up. "Say hello to the Nova resistance,specialized in darkness." The ship's hovered over the world and in front of the rebel fleet. Soon a voice started to speak from the overcom.

 

"Hello resistance. We are the alliance of Nova from the 12th dimension. Our world is a very hidden yet prosperous world indeed,filled with keyblade wielders,but there's something that sets us apart."The voice said as the ships pointed their cannons. "As we have developed an affinity...We are all darkness users here." The cannons beamed,pure darkness shooting at the ships.

Talon was in his ship as Darius was flying it. It was small and unnoticeable. Talon had watched on the news about the Nova ships coming in. He would need to speak to Astral about this. The Barians would be more help now. Talon closed his eyes.'' Did you really have to announce who Yuri really was?'' Darius asked. Talon opened his eyes.'' Yes. Now the bond Yuri and Ravio have been torn like I planned. Soon, I shall unleash my second phase of the plan.'' Talon said as they arrived at Twilight Town. Talon knew Yuri would be emotional shock for a few days. All he know is this, with that stress building up in her with the Miracle, She'll soon become a senseless killing machine, thus becoming a mindless zombie.'' It's a shame though, only I can help her control the Miracle.'' Talon said as he closed his eyes remembering what happened to him after Fyers took him prisoner when Yao Fei switched sides.

Each beam of darkness met a hexagonal shield of light, and held fast. The screens of every ship snapped on to show Zion holding Xion and Luna's hands, herself looking pained.

"You...you sicken me." She paused, the shields angling to start deflecting the beams away. "You refuse help when you so desperately need it." Zion breathed. "My name is Zion de Wynter. Five hundred and three years ago my home was destroyed, torn away by the Heartess. I thought darkness was evil then, but my views changed. My heart torn in two, the darkness became personified within my second heart, whom I named Sione. I was of pure light, but also of pure darkness. After a long fight my darkness was sent away, cleansed by the merciful light of Etro. The Goddess of Chaos gave me that gift, but Sione did not waste it. She renamed herself, and as Oriana meant Sunrise, so did her existence. For the circumstances of one's birth is irrelevant! It is what you do with the gift of light that truly proves your worth!" Zion paused, the shields slightly flickering. A small lance blasted through, hitting a corvette and disabling it. "But to get to that point, we had to master balance. The balance of light and darkness. That balance is what got me here right now, and today, five hundred and three years later, I have returned to ensure a new dawn rises. My walk along the road to dawn has taught me many things, and the foremost is...life is always precious. Oriana gave her life to complete my heart, and that sacrifice ensures I am here. So come at me with darkness, with corrupted light. I herald a new dawn."

The shields finally failed, but the fleets had moved to safety by then. "You have upset balance, Ravio! You think Keyblade Wielders are supreme?" She spat. "We are nothing without the citizens of the universe. Those chosen by the Keyblade are chosen to safeguard the future, ensure we are given that hope as the sun rises. The realm of light is our home, and we the custodians. Those not chosen by the Keyblade are more important then us chosen; it is for those without the Keyblade who ensure we have something more important then a blade of magic, a shadow of the true X-Blade. This..." She summoned Forward Unto Dawn. "This is the universe giving you a power of awe and ruin, in the hopes you ensure the defense and continued life of this realm. But not as a complete Keyblade wielding race." She grimaced, falling to a knee. She was exhausted. "If there are only Keyblade wielders, there are only guardians. What is a realm without it's citizens; what is a kingdom, without it's subjects. If everyone had a crown everyone would be king; that crown gives you the responsibility to ensure the safeguard of them all. But you have chose hatred! You have chosen genocide and death!" She looked downright scary now. "You connive with evil, barter with the bad, and dine with the despicable. You are no better then Talon the murderer, and you...you made Yuri cry." She finally was able to stand with Xion's help. "You have ignored the warnings, turned away compassion and spit upon mercy. So you shall face the consequences, feel how compassion-less our rage is, and as you beg for mercy we shall watch you slowly die an agonizing death. You ignored the thunder. So now..."

She threw her hand out. "You shall feel the strike of fate. For now, I have set aside my Guardian status, and now I come as a Herald. So tremble Ravio. Tremble before the rise of dawn."

Inter dimensional warp gates opened all around space.

 

"Five hundred years ago, a Champion was crystallized on a throne of the goddess. And now...thirteen days before the end of her world, she awakens to help an old friend. She comes as the harbinger of salvation, and the bringer of the end." The first ship, a huge vessel comparable to the world-dwarfing Forward Unto Dawn, came into existence just in front of the aging Snow Warship.

"Lightning returns."

The ships opened fire without warning, and as the Third Fleet and it's allies reached the right flank, they too opened fire, creating a hail energy, missiles, railgun shots, and beams at the Nova Alliance..

 

Zion collapsed into Xion, spent, as Seris took tactical command. Xion looked to Yuri, who had been directed to the bridge by Kalmiya and brought there by Xion before the speech.

Zion looked at Yuri long and hard.

"The circumstances of one's birth is irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of light that will truly prove your worth." She repeated. "Never forget...your parents birth you...but you decide your own destiny."

Zion fell unconscious from the strain of defending her friends and the rest of the fleet, her body beaded with sweat.

(To celebrate the release of LR:FFXIII, I had to do that.)

With the escalation of the battle occurring all around the Forward Unto Dawn, Polaris Team and Luna could only stay on the bridge and watch the plethora of screens alerting the crew to their new enemies. "Hello resistance." the nearby radio cackled, "We are the alliance of Nova from the 12th dimension. Our world is a very hidden yet prosperous world indeed,filled with keyblade wielders,but there's something that sets us apart."As we have developed an affinity...We are all darkness users here."

 

"Aww c'mon!" Silber protested helplessly, "as if the WPA and KWU aren't enough of a problem, these people show up?!" The squad, plus Luna, looked at him with serious worry. He let off a heavy sigh. "Sorry. I... I didn't mean to break bearings." Arcticus narrowed his eyes, clearly distressed at the outburst as Zion communicated with the enemy fleet. 

 

"You...you sicken me. You refuse help when you so desperately need it. My name is Zion de Wynter. Five hundred and three years ago my home was destroyed, torn away by the Heartess. I thought darkness was evil then, but my views changed. My heart torn in two, the darkness became personified within my second heart, whom I named Sione.

The Goddess of Chaos gave me that gift, but Sione did not waste it. She renamed herself, and as Oriana meant Sunrise, so did her existence. For the circumstances of one's birth is irrelevant! It is what you do with the gift of light that truly proves your worth!"

 

"But to get to that point, we had to master balance. The balance of light and darkness. That balance is what got me here right now, and today, five hundred and three years later, I have returned to ensure a new dawn rises. My walk along the road to dawn has taught me many things, and the foremost is...life is always precious. Oriana gave her life to complete my heart, and that sacrifice ensures I am here.

You have upset balance, Ravio! You think Keyblade Wielders are supreme? We are nothing without the citizens of the universe. Those chosen by the Keyblade are chosen to safeguard the future, ensure we are given that hope as the sun rises. The realm of light is our home, and we the custodians. Those not chosen by the Keyblade are more important then us chosen; it is for those without the Keyblade who ensure we have something more important then a blade of magic, a shadow of the true X-Blade.

She threw her hand out. "You shall feel the strike of fate. For now, I have set aside my Guardian status, and now I come as a Herald. So tremble Ravio. Tremble before the rise of dawn."

Luna was doing her best supporting Zion as she collapsed. Arcticus was appalled at the speech, and her last sentence. Guardian? Can she... Is she? No, that can't be right. Must be a different title, otherwise I'd have heard of her name...

 

"Five hundred years ago, a Champion was crystallized on a throne of the goddess. And now...thirteen days before the end of her world, she awakens to help an old friend. She comes as the harbinger of salvation, and the bringer of the end. Lightning returns."

 

The ship rocked as it fired its weapons, catching the team off guard as they all fell onto the floor. 

 

"The circumstances of one's birth is irrelevant. It is what you do with the gift of light that will truly prove your worth. Never forget...your parents birth you...but you decide your own destiny."

 

As the team recovered, Arcticus once again asked Xion for some help. "Miss. Would you be kind to point us to your living quarters aboard this ship? I'm gonna be busy with the team, especially Silber and Winter. And if you don't mind me asking: do you have any extra private quarters aboard? I really need some time alone with Winter. And as for you Silber, you're gonna need a psych evaluation. That outburst had me worried there."
