Exhausted, Leo laid-back down on his bed after his Chakra escapades earlier, he had to meditate for around two long hours..
Leo then quickly fell asleep as he hasn't had much rest at all lately..
He woke up surrounded by darkness again, "Oh, hell no.. Not again! Don't tell me, it was all a dream or something!" Leo complained.
Suddenly the dark floor shattered like a broken glass window thrown in by a brick.
Leo suddenly saw he was now standing on a colorful stained glass like pillar.
*Whew* "Yes! This is a familiar setting i recognize.. Though, question is.. Why am i here.." Leo wondered.
He suddenly heard silent whispers calling out to him. "Am i being tested? Like how Sora got tested in the game.. Or is it real life?" He muttered feeling confused, Kingdom Hearts has a lot of mysteries after all.
Suddenly three shadows popped up out of nowhere. "Heartless! If this was the old me, i'd be more intimidated.. But.." Leo started doing some hand-seals.
[Firestyle: Phoenix Flower Jutsu!]
Three small balls of fire flew engulfing the Shadows and easily dispatching them.
A few more came around, but Leo didn't feel any strain and dispatched them just as quickly.
Leo nodded satisfied, "Nice!" He then started looking around after the Shadows finally stopped coming.
He saw a picture of him and Itachi, locking fingers as friends like Naruto and Sasuke did in the series.
Behind his own shadowy looking silhouette, he saw himself sleeping. His parents.. the silhouette of his girlfriend Satsuki.
Leo, suddenly felt a strong longing for home.
He looked behind Itachi's silhouette, he saw Itachi's parents, little brother Sasuke, Uchiha Shisui and the hokage mountains..
Leo smiled, suddenly he felt something tug at him inside his heart. "There's no need for sadness.. I have.. Gained so much more! Itachi, i could now consider him as a brother, i also made some new friends.. I'll also find a way back home!" Leo shouted with renewed resolve.
The tugging inside his heart got even stronger.
Leo held out his hand, then suddenly bright light appeared in his hand, surprising him.
"Key.. Blade?!" He slowly said in awe..
It was simular to Ventus's keyblade, it look a curved dagger, only the tip looked like a sharp pointed like Vehicle key, it is fully black, decorated with a slightly noticeable crimson wave like design, the handle was a full circle, the keychain was short with three megatamas together into a circle wide enough for a single finger..
"Beautiful.." Leo said as inspected it carefully with a bright smile..
Then he noticed something familiar about it..
"It kind of reminds me of a.." He suddenly had an idea of what he had to do.
Leo concentrated, suddenly the red waves on the keyblade glowed slightly..
The key quickly expanded into three blades, scaring Leo momentarily..
"AWESOME! IT'S A SHURIKEY!" He shouted with excitement, he also was happy with his naming sense.
He threw it and then quickly called it back into his hands again.
"You're so amazing! I'll call you ShadowLynx or just Lynx for short!" He grinned with a silly smile.
He retracted the blades again and looked around.
"I don't think you might know how to get out of this place right, Lynx?" He slightly muttered.
Suddenly Lynx lit up like a Christmas tree and he got pushed up into the air.
Leo was momentarily shocked, but as he carefully looked down, Leo suddenly saw a keyhole appear in the middle of his and Itachi's locked fingers.
Leo grinned, "Thanks Lynx, let's do this!" He said, as he started spinning her and held her in both hands, as he aimed right down the middle.
A light started gathering around them making a symbol of a crown. The crowntip of Lynx shined and a bright beam of light flew right into the keyhole, he could hear it lock up..
*CLICK!* *Ka-CHACK!*
Suddenly the world around him shone a bright light as well before it faded away..
___
Leo woke up suddenly, he quickly sat up in his bed and he felt slightly confused at first.
Looking outside, he noticed that it was now morning..
He quickly called out Lynx who appeared with no problem whatsoever.
"Thank goodness it wasn't a dream.." He smiled as caressed her gently, this could be considered his personal priceless treasure now.
He then grinned, "Let's go surprise the others Lynx, i bet they'll sh*t themselves.." He looked slightly mischievous.
He ran outside trying to look for them.
He didn't notice his mentality and personality has started to shift slightly.
___
Leo finally found the trio outside they were all currently training together..
"HEYYY!" Leo called out to them, surprising them.
"Good morning sleepy head!" Ventus called out happily as he waved at him.
"I-I have-" *Huff* "-Finally found you three.." Leo said as he quickly catched his breath.
The trio approached him together.
"What's wrong Leo? What has you, all bent out of shape this early in the morning?" Terra asked, Ventus and Aqua were also curious.
"You guys won't believe what happened to me last night!" Leo said as he smiled.
He held out his hand and suddenly Lynx appeared, the trio fell back in shock slightly.
"A-A KEYBLADE!" Ventus shouted in disbelief..
Leo then started explaining what happened in his dream.
The trio listened in surprise and at the end started laughing.
Terra and Ventus held him in headlock with a grin, while Aqua chuckled at their antics.
"You sure are full of surprises aren't you Leo!" Terra said as he ruffled his hair.
"Yeah, it's one thing after the other with you!" Ventus grinned as he playfully punched him in the shoulder..
"Hey! I live to please!" Leo said with a grin, messing around like this made him feel warm inside.
They laughed some more and the trio asked him to show them, what he could do.
He did some blows against the wooden dummies, the trio gave him some tips.
"Hey, Ven! Let's have a spar!" Leo asked, they were quite similar in fighting style which is based on speed. Though, he is also ninjutsu focused, now because he is actually an Uchiha now.
Ventus looked surprised, "Eh, are you really sure? You might want to rest a bit longer though." Ventus asked a little nervous and unsure.
"Come on Ven! With all this excitement happening, i don't think i can rest calmly now. Come on, please?" Leo pleaded a little bit.
Ventus hesitated a little bit but eventually agreed, "Alright.. Though, we'll stop after one of us gets one good hit in.. Deal?" He asked.
Leo nodded with a grin, "Yeah, no worries! I might even surprise you some more!" Leo said jokingly.
Everyone started laughing, Ventus provoked him slightly, "I doubt anything you do now can actually surprise me any more.." He said with a grin.
The other two also nodded at that.
"Hoh, interesting! It's a bet! Now, I'll be doing my best to make you regret saying that~" Leo said as spinned Lynx in his hand and holding her in reverse grip.
Ventus did the same. Suddenly, the air around Leo changed.. They all looked curiously and saw his eyes change color.
"""WHAT THE-""" Was the only thing that trio could say before Leo suddenly disappeared in a twirl of leaves.
Ventus looked around in a panic and so did the the other two.
Suddenly Ventus felt a slight chill and he rolled forward, dodging Leo's quick backstrike.
"Surprise!" Leo said with a small grin..
