VANiTAS INCARNATE

you mind if I make one more character? Its a big baddie

Argus raised his keyblade as well. "Let's hope they notice." Despite his enthusiasm, Argus felt sadness. He didn't want to see Xemrok heartbroken by watching Ezzy sink into shadow. Whatever was out there, it was ruthless, and it wanted nothing more than Xemrok's tears before it swallowed him whole as well. Meanwhile, deep in the black abyss of the galaxy. A pale face smiled...

Argus smiled. "I understand. But if we're too late, Ezzy won't be Ezzy for long. Look I don't want to do this, and we may not have to. But there are matters more complicated than you can comprehend. We have to be fast about this, but you know we can't do this alone. I think nows a good time to start searching for others like us."

"I honestly don't know, Xemrok...The darkness...Its feeding on peoples minds, its planning something, and I can't shake the feeling that Ezzy and the Brotherhood are heavily involved." He put his arm on Xemrok's shoulder and stared him in the eyes. "What I learned today could change the fate of the universe and I need your help by taking these people down before they do something we all will regret. Are you with me?"

Argus turned around to face Xemrok. He had no expression on his face. "Xemrok...We need to subdue Ezzy's darkness." He looked grim. "I fear if she can't control it, she will become too powerful...And we will have to kill her."

Xemrok Argus said telepathically. We need to talk in person. Meet me at the bottom of the bailey. Come alone. Something was disturbing him, and Xemrok needed to know first. In fact, Xemrok needed to know more than anyone.

Argus ran at tremendous speed and tackled miro. He got up and stepped back, getting into his fighting stance. "If you think you're so powerful, then your quarrel's with me" he said.

Ventus. The name hit Argus like a bolt of lightning. "Im sorry for deceiving you so" Ventus apologized. "But there are matters we must discuss. Let me tell you a story. It all begins with the Keyblade Wars. Many hours passed, Ventus had retold the events that transpired in his life. "In the end, we defeated Xehanort and spent the rest of our lives happily. But we were ignorant to the true nature of the darkness that threatened the worlds. The real threat that twisted and corrupted his mind. Somewhere, far out in the darkest, starless corners of space, there is an evil force, ruining the balance of light and darkness, pouring its influence into the minds of the people of these worlds." Argus was intrigued, he finally began to understand all the events that occurred. "You see Argus, that was my destiny, and I failed. So the higher powers above us decided they would need me again. They sent my heart back, and this time, it was in the form of you." Argus froze. His innards went cold. He was speechless. "So this entire time, I was just a substitute for you." "Yes" said Ventus. "Its not completely fair, but it must be done. You must unite the keybladers and combat this growing darkness before it consumes existence in its entirety. You must finish what we started." Argus finally understood. The visions, the voices, the memories. Something still puzzled him though. "Kingdom Hearts, what is it?" he asked. Ventus sighed. "Every form of life has a heart. Even the worlds. Kingdom Hearts is the heart of everything. A place where new worlds are born and where wishes come true. Why it must be opened, I don't know. The plans that have been made are beyond my knowledge. But I will remain here in this heart. It is my own after all" he joked. "Now go, fulfill our destiny, it may be the last time someone ever does." Argus awoke in the center of town. Shocked, horrified, frustrated. He hated the though of his existence being set on a course he had no say in. It bothered him, but he knew it had to be done (hows that for a bombshell )

Sorry Xemrok he thought back. I have somewhere important to be He hopped from roof to roof following the whispers of his names. They got louder and more frequent. He stopped in front of the bailey and stared down into the cavern of remembrance. It seemed mysteriously ominous. He slowly stepped down into the cavern. He could see a light at the bottom of the corridor. Slowly, he walked toward it as the light got stronger. It soon began to engulf him, and it blinded him completely. And then. Darkness. Darkness and water. He drifted down the Dive to the Heart. The memories of the mysterious figures flashed through his mind quickly. He landed softly on the stained glass mural of himself. However, he was not alone... "Argus" came a voice. He turned around and saw the golden haired boy. He looked exactly like him. Similar outfit, same hairstyle, same face. "Who are you" he asked. "My name" he said with extreme intrigue. "Is Ventus."

Damn he thought to himself. Looks like I'm gonna need another plan. Argus walked through the city streets filled with remorse. His existence felt wasted, meaningless, empty... He sat on the roof of one of the buildings thinking to himself. He kept his eyes closed and his hands folded together. Argus said a whisper in the wind. He raised his head and looked confused. He got on his feet and looked to the distance. "What are you hiding?"

Argus looked down sadly. This set him back immensely. I guess were intrested but, frankly I don't have the permission to tell you. The words agitated him. They made him feel ignorant. He wasted all this effort. His eyes lit up. He had an idea. Ezzy, I know that you and Xemrok have your mental link shtick. But if I have a keyblade, I guess we do too. I need you to keep tabs on the Brotherhood. Find out what they want.

Argus walked up to the leader and raised his chin with his keyblade. "Did you summon these?" he poked his neck firmly "You might wanna answer that."

Argus hit 2 neoshadows, some tried to attack him from above. He casted firaga and they burned away. Another attacked him from behind and latched onto his back. Argus grabbed it from behind and threw it in front of him and casted a lightning bolt at him. More and more appeared around him. "We could fight like this..." he breathed heavily "..for days."

Argus was spying on them. He followed them by tracing the dark presence around them. He slowly paced behind them. But he never expected the neoshadows to appear. He summoned his keyblade and rushed to their side. "Ill help you out this ONE time. ONE time!" They jumped at the three and they all brought their weapons up as the two forces clashed.

Argus glared at Quentin. He didn't trust him one bit, and couldn't see why Ezzy would. "I wouldn't recommend working for a group that doesn't tell you when they're watching you. Its a bit creepy." He walked around Quentin "I also recall you not answering my question last time we met. What is Kingdom Hearts. You better be honest this time." He stared at him hard and serious.

OH MY FREAKIN GOD ITS NOT XEMNAS/SENTIMENT/ATW/ETC IT IS A BRAND NEW CHARACTER, NO ONE ELSE HAS THAT FIGHTING STYLE OR WEAPON Mind you that there will be MORE games after KH3 WITHOUT MX being the villain

"Wait." Argus said. "You can still help us. How would you like to be our eyes and ears within the brotherhood?" he asked. "We could use someone like you."

Argus scoffed. "It's too late Xemrok, let her be who she wants to be." He then looked at Ezzy, straight at her corrupted yellow eyes. "You're a fool if you think they want what's in your best interest. The darkness will consume you, it will twist you until you hate the very though of control. Just warning you that things are never what they seem."

Argus observed the hooded figure. The voice sounded awfully familiar. He traced the contents of his memory for someone who sounded similar. His eyes widened. "So this is what you do now. You let them tame your darkness only to fight for it?" he stated. "Somebody clearly has responsibility issues." He looked at Xemrok and Azura, still puzzled by the figure

Argus looked at Xemrok with an amused expression on his face. He turned to Azura, inviting her to continue. He twirled his keyblade in his hands and pointed toward Azura. "Come get some."

Argus grabbed Xemrok's hand and lifted him off the ground. "I think this revolution's off to a good start." They both laughed.

I really wasn't arguing that fact. I could argue that there's no evidence that Ven's heart manifested as Sora's nobody but his nobody took Ven's appearance simply because of the presence of Ven's heart inside Sora's. That would be splitting hairs but would explain why Roxas doesn't know that he's Ven. My point was that Sora unlocked his heart of his own free will and that no matter what he would have (and did) leave a nobody behind. Just as Master Xehanort unlocked his own heart of his own free will. Yes, it did transfer to Terra but he still left his body behind and in doing so created a nobody, which I believe to be MF. Lol, I see your logic, I was just comparing the 2 because they were similar but under different circumstances. Ill rephrase my theory better this time. A nobody only appears when darkness claims a heart, leaving a heartless behind as well. In MX's case it didnt. It took refuge in Terra's heart and seized control. The only time Xehanort had a heartless and nobody is when Apprentice Xehanort was killed by the heartless he was breeding. In Sora's case, when he unlocked his heart. Ven's heart was damaged from his fight with Vanitas and couldn't leave the body, therefore, Sora's heart left and was claimed by darkness (only briefly) whereas Ven's stayed behind and lingered in Roxas. One of the main mysteries of KHII and Days was that Roxas had a heart which couldn't be explained until BBS came out. When Xehanort died and became a heartless and nobody, it took Terra's form because unlike Sora and Ven, who's hearts stayed side-by-side within Sora. MX's heart stayed inside Terra's, therefore taking the appearance of Terra, but with the will of MX. Anyways, my main point was that the MF is either non-canon or a more important villain that has not been revealed yet.

Argus bodies Azura while she was off guard and swung at her stomach, which she luckily missed. He then shot several flames toward Xemrok and jumped in the air, swinging downward at him.

Argus understood. He summoned his keyblade and prepared himself for the sparring. "Let's dance." He charged at Xemrok and fired several icicles from his keyblade to knock him off guard. He slid on the ground and popped up to clash blades with him.

I think they just used BBS to start on the character models and import them into 3D when theywere ready. It saves time and they dont have to start from scratch when using the new engine
