章 238: Chapter 238
Harry and Luna watched the battle the young Keyblade Wielder and his odd friends waged on the massive enemy they were fighting, secretly they helped the group of fighters by throwing items for them to find and use but other than that, they decided to watch on.
This battle seemed very important to the boy like he was trying to prove something, so Harry and Luna thought it wouldn't be nice to get involved unless things get to dangerous.
Still, they kept a close eye on the battle, Luna seemingly noticed something and pointed it out, "That boy... he's moving so awkwardly, his sword style seems weird too".
Harry had noticed that as well and commented "He's self-taught, he doesn't seem to know how to move in synch with the Keyblade yet, plus, despite being able to use high-level spells, they're not refined and waste too much mana".
Luna looked down and shook her head, "Where is his master? Why hasn't he gotten taught right?".
Harry narrowed his eyes towards the Keyblade-wielding boy and checked on his Keyblade, "I see... that Keyblade wasn't originally his, it had chosen someone else.
So he hasn't bonded correctly to his Keyblade yet, it's getting there, but much of the Keyblade's power and abilities are locked to him until the Keyblade bonds to his heart.
That might also explain why he's self-taught as well, he was never meant to be a Keyblade Wielder... not for that Kingdom Key anyways".
Luna sighed and looked sad thinking how hard the boy had to have been fighting to have gotten as strong as he did on his own, "Still, he's not doing too bad".
Harry nodded in agreement, "He has a strong heart, that's for sure, plus good friends as well that duck and dog guy are pretty good too".
Suddenly, the boy and his friends seemed to have caused massive damage to their enemy as a surge of energy fired off the massive boss, and then a giant man's torso was revealed, behind the man a massive Heartless spread its arms and both immediately began to attack the boy and his friends.
The boy and friends quickly began to fly around dodging dark lasers and swipes from the double-bladed staff the man attacked them with, spells and sword skills were fired at the massive enemy in return.
The battle seemed fierce and hard for the boy and his two friends, while the enemy fought with a merciless fierceness that made Harry and Luna worry for the group's well-being a few times.
But eventually, the group came out victorious, with one strong swing from his Kingdom Key, the Boy finally defeated his enemy by striking his chest, and the enemy roared in pain as explosions began to go off all over his body.
With his defeat, the enemy could no longer sustain his massive ship-like body and thus, it began to break down as the enemy screamed in pain and defeat, "This cannot be!".
A bright white light engulfed the enemy and the group, until an explosion went off, bathing the area with a bright white light for a few seconds, but Harry and Luna were unaffected by the light and watched on as the enemy shrunk down and took on a human form before the light went out.
Harry raised an eyebrow as he sensed the energy and core within the enemy, "Huh?... That's a Heartless".
Luna nodded, she had already noticed that and had not been happy about it, "Yeah... but he doesn't feel like my cute little shadows, this guy's darkness is arrogant and yucky".
Harry sweatdropped at the way Luna just called out the enemy and couldn't help but chuckle soon after, he had to admit, the guy did feel off for a Heartless, in fact, the guy just felt off altogether.
But before Harry could look deeper into the enemy, the boy, and the bad guy began to speak, the enemy squirmed a bit in pain before speaking up, "It is futile, the Keyblade alone cannot seal the door to darkness".
The enemy suddenly turned around towards a gray-colored platform that appeared out of nowhere and reached over towards it, "Kingdom Hearts! Fill me with the power of Darkness...".
Harry and Luna turned their attention to the gray-colored platform and noticed a big gray door on one end of it, Luna frowned and stared at it for a few seconds before speaking up, "So that's the back door my Heartless told me about".
Harry nodded but frowned when he looked at the door, "It's more like punched through hole with a nailed-on door to cover it...".
The enemy dramatically began to clench his fingers as the gray door opened and darkness began to seep out, "Supreme Darkness...".
The boy however shook his head and spoke up, "You're wrong, I know now, without a doubt, Kingdom Hearts... is light!".
It was at this time, that Harry decided that he had enough, especially because these two were about to step into his domain uninvited, so he summoned Oathkeeper and swung it hard in the direction of the enemy.
A beam of white light shot out of Harry's Oathkeeper and flew straight toward the enemy, the beam of white light traveled so fast that the enemy didn't even notice it until it crashed against his side and sent him flying away screaming in pain.
The boy, the duck, and the dog guy gaped at the fact that their enemy had been attacked out of nowhere but immediately snapped out of it and looked up toward where the attack had come from.
Only to gape once again when they finally noticed Harry standing in mid-air while holding a Keyblade in his hand, something that utterly stunned the trio, Harry however grinned at them and then spoke up, "Well, you're half right kid. Kingdom Hearts is Light but it's also Darkness, Kingdom Hearts is the point of balance between Darkness and Light for the entire Multiverse, it's where these two contrasting concepts are born and spread out, where Twilight takes form".
The trio stared at Harry in complete and utter shock for a few moments, until the duck suddenly shook his head and pointed a finger at Harry, "Wha! A Keyblade! Goofy look, he also has a Keyblade!".
The dog guy, who now Harry knew was named Goofy, snapped out of it as well and nodded, "Hyuk! But I thought Sora was the Keyblade Chosen Wielder...".
The boy, now revealed to be named Sora, raised his Keyblade and stared at it in confusion, "How can there be more than one Keyblade?...".
Luna and Harry both raised an eyebrow in confusion when they heard the trio's exclamation, both shared a look and then Harry turned his head to speak with the trio one more time, "... You do know that there's more than one Keyblade right?.
In fact, anyone with a strong light can forge a Keyblade within themselves, an already existing Keyblade choosing a wielder is what's rare, which I think is your situation".
Sora's eyes widened in surprise, while Donald and Goofy made some very funny facial expressions, which made Luna giggle, but before anyone could say another word, the enemy teleported right in front of Luna and Harry.
The enemy then tried to attack Harry with a dark-infused punch, but Luna summoned her Dark Keyblade and slapped his attack away with ease, which stunned the enemy and once again shocked the trio.
Luna smiled and then spun kicked the enemy away with ease, the enemy gagged from the blow and was sent flying off into the void, Luna shook her head and then huffed feeling completely unimpressed by the bad guys and his attack, "He seems like the stubborn type".
Harry nodded, "He sure does, why don't you got entertain him while I ask a few questions to these three, feel free to have fun Luna".
Luma softly smiled and nodded, when Goofy, Donald, and Sora saw that smile, they shivered finding something disturbing about Luna's smile, Luna didn't seem to notice the looks she was getting or if she did, she didn't seem to care.
She just disappeared in a flash of darkness, leaving Harry alone with the group of scared guys, Harry saw their faces and chuckled, "Yeah, I know. Luna can be very terrifying if you get on her bad side but she's actually the wisest, kindest, and sweetest girl you'll ever meet".
Harry began to float down towards the trio, who snapped out of it and tensed up when they saw Harry getting closer, Harry soon stopped right in front of them and smiled hoping to calm the trio down, "Calm down, I'm not going to hurt you or anything.
Unlike the other guy, you three seem like good guys plus I'm hoping you guys can tell me about that door and why you're inside the void between worlds.
~Meanwhile~
Ansem flipped himself upright and stopped his body with his magic before he could get lost in the void, only to receive a Keyblade strike to the head as soon as he was able to stop himself.
Ansem wasn't expecting an attack, not at such speed and with such power, so he was caught completely off guard and grunted in pain, though that was also cut off when he was once again struck by a Keyblade, this time in the ribs.
Ansem roared in pain as he felt the teeth of the Keyblade dig into his ribs as he was pushed to the side by the attack, recovering quickly and gaining his balance, the Heartless looked up and glared at his attacker.
Luna just softly smiled and spun her Keyblade before resting it on her shoulder, "What's wrong? Not too tough when you're not bullying a kid huh? I hate bullies you know?... A lot".
Ansem's eyes widen in shock as darkness begins to pour out of the girl before him, "Darkness... but how? And you also wield a Keyblade... there's only one person who was able to do that".
Luna frowned at the mention of another Keyblade Wielder being able to harness Darkness like her and Harry, "Hm... so there are other Keyblade Wielders around, interesting".
Ansem frowned at his slip in giving out such information and went back to glare at Luna, "Who are you!? And how can you wield so much Darkness!?".
Luna let go of her Keyblade and allowed it to float beside her, which surprised Ansem, that was a high-level skill for a Keyblade Wielder, not just anyone can remotely control a Keyblade, it takes mastery of the Keyblade and super mental control to pull that off.
Luna ignored the surprised look on Ansem's face and introduced herself, "I'm Luna Lovegood, one of the three Keyblade Masters of Neo Kyoto, I am known as the Keyblade Master of Darkness, the Gentle Dark".
Ansem was utterly confused now and shocked, "A Keyblade Master? It cannot be true, there were only two others and they were taken care of".
Luna stared at Ansem in silence for a few seconds, the way he said all of that showed her that there was something else going on here, but giving that this wasn't an urgent matter to her right, she decided to push it aside and deal with this guy.
Something about the guy in front of her bothered her a lot, she didn't know what yet nor did she really care, she hates bullies and she was going to deal with this guy, after all, he was giving Heartless a bad name as well.
Without any prompts or anything like that, Luna suddenly disappeared in a flash of darkness, which made Ansem stand on full alert now, this was a different kind of battle, he wasn't dealing with a naive young Keyblade Wielder anymore.
But a Keyblade Master and they're not known to be merciful with enemies, but to Ansem's dismay, Luna appeared behind him too fast for him and struck him with a long combo of Keyblade strikes to his back.
Ansem could only roar in pain as he felt the Keyblade dig into his back and strike at his life force, which had already taken quite the damage with the battle with the boy, unlike with Sora, Luna's strikes hit at his vitals and did massive damage.
She also had way more power behind her strikes compared to Sora's strikes, it was a whole world of difference in power and skill, Ansem couldn't even counter or protect himself either, Luna was too fast for him.
Soon enough relief came when Luna ended her long combo of strikes, which ended in and powerful downward strike that sent Ansem flying away from Luna.
But the Dark Keyblade Master wasn't done yet, "It's a shame, you're already quite damaged from the battle against the boy, but even if you were in tip-top shape, I doubt you would have lasted long against me".
Luna then grinned towards Ansem who struggled to right himself up by floating with magic and then said, "You called for Darkness right?
What did you call it? Supreme Darkness? How edgy and boring really, but if it's Darkness you want, then let me show you what true Darkness can do".
After declaring as such, darkness, pitch black darkness surged out of Luna and began to gather on the tip of her Keyblade, Luna then pointed her Keyblade at Ansem and said, "This is one of the most powerful dark elemental spells I know, I hope you enjoy that taste of Supreme Darkness you wanted".
Luna then raised her Keyblade as it absorbed the dark sphere formed on its tip as she began to chant her spell, "Gates to Eternal Void, show your passage! Be damned by my darkness! Eternal Fatality!".
A massive black magic circle took form above Ansem, who looked up in utter shock at what was happening, the sphere of darkness on the tip of Luna's Keyblade then burst as a massive sword made of pitch-black darkness began to drop down from the magic circle right on top of Ansem.
Luna then swung her Keyblade and brought down the massive sword of darkness from the heavens, which came crashing down on top of Ansem with a powerful blast, before his end, Ansem could only watch as the pitch-black sword made out of darkness came down towards him at a frightening speed.
He had never seen such magic nor such pure darkness, it had left him completely shocked, but even in that state, Ansem could still utter one word before the sword of darkness struck him, "Magnificent...".
Luna watched as one of the most powerful dark elemental spells she knows, crashed against the bully and violently exploded into a storm of pitch black darkness that was so strong, it punched a hole in the void.
Though the void soon repaired itself before anything else could happen, Luna spread her senses to see if the bully was really defeated and once she couldn't sense him anymore she smiled and nodded to herself.
With the punishment of the bully dealt with, Luna turned around and then took off flying towards where Harry, the boy, the duck, and the dog guy were talking.
Sora, Goofy, and Donald squeaked and panicked when an explosion of darkness went off while they were speaking with Harry about what was going on, Harry just turned his head towards the explosion and smiled, "Looks like Luna is done with that Ansem guy".
Sora turned his head back towards Harry really fast and said, "What? But Ansem is really strong! It took everything I had to beat him and I had to do so quite a few times as well!".
Harry just shrugged and and grinned at Sora, "Well, don't forget kid, Luna and I are Keyblade Masters and have been for a very long time now, especially me, so we're quite powerful.
You can say we're on a whole different level, but let's put that aside for now, let me correct you on something Sora, the Kingdom Key you wield chose you as its Wielder, it's yours since it's now connected to your heart.
The reason your friend Riku could take it from you was that he himself is a Keyblade Wielder and you trust him, the Keyblade knows this and allows Riku to wield it.
You couldn't call it back because you were confused and hurt, so your heart wavered and that made the Keyblade not be able to hear your call".
Harry then turned his eyes to Goofy and Donald, "You both leaving Sora soon after, hurt him and aggravated the situation, you guys were lucky that Sora was able to strengthen his heart and call out to his Keyblade again... don't ever do that again okay?".
Donald squeaked and looked a bit scared at the way Harry was now staring at him and Goofy, he knew he messed up but to hear how they made things worse for Sora really made him feel guilty.
Goofy felt bad about that from the very beginning and looked down, "Hyuk... You're right, I'm sorry...".
Harry smiled at Goofy, he quite liked the guy and he had a direct line to his funny bone as well, Goofy for some reason seemed to be able to bring a smile out of Harry, "It's not me you should apologize to buddy".
Goofy looked up at Harry and immediately gave him a nod, he then turned around to face Sora and gave him a bow, "I'm sorry Sora! I promise I won't ever leave you behind".
Sora was a bit taken aback, he had quite the revelation given to him after all, to think that he really was the legit wielder of the Kingdom Key now, {Hah! Take that Riku!}, but to also have someone like Goofy wholeheartedly apologize to him like that, made him feel a bit guilty.
But Sora soon smiled and patted Goofy on the shoulder, "Don't worry Goofy, it's water under the bridge!".
Goofy smiled and nodded to Sora, soon after that, Luna arrived and floated next to Harry, "Well, that didn't take long, for a guy obsessed with Darkness he sure wasn't able to handle it~".
Harry chuckled and shook his head at his girlfriend in amusement, leave it to Luna to give someone like that Ansem guy, a taste of his own medicine, however suddenly Sora spoke up, "Um, I have a question miss".
Luna turned her head towards Sora and smiled at him, "Hm ~ you have such big bright blue eyes, I like them! But sure ask your question".
Sora blushed at the compliment about his eyes, only Kairi and his mother ever said such a thing about his eyes so hearing someone like Luna do so, made him feel a bit embarrassed, "Err... um, ahem! Well you see, I thought only someone with a strong light could wield a Keyblade".
Harry and Luna both raised an eyebrow and then shared a look, to Sora it kinda looks like when his father and mother had a silent conversation, Luna was the first to break eye contact and turned her head back towards Sora, "That's not true, it only takes a strong heart to forge a Keyblade within oneself, the Keyblade then takes on the properties more compatible to its wielder so it can better bond with him or her".
Harry nodded, "That's right, that's how some might get an Ice Keyblade, or a fire one for example, Darkness and Light-aligned Keyblades are just very rare, so you don't see them often".
Sora nodded understanding what the two Keyblade Masters were saying, in his mind he realized that the Kingdom Key left Riku because he was more aligned with Darkness and went to him because his heart was more aligned with Light, making bonding with him easier, "I see".
Donald then suddenly spoke, "Squack! But Darkness is evil!".
Harry tilted his head at Donald and then spoke, "What an ignorant way of thinking, darkness is like any other element, it is capable of destruction as well as creation, it's the wielder who chooses what to do with the element.
I can wield light and if I wanted I could massacre an entire world population with it, would you then think that light is evil?".
Donald frowned and looked down, while both Sora and Goofy seemed to be thinking about what Harry just said, Luna then spoke up, "The same holds true with the other elements, fire can burn and destroy, but you don't think is evil right?
Darkness is just an element and the wielder is responsible for what they wield it for, I wield darkness, but I don't go around doing evil things... well maybe I have stolen a few snacks from my family using dark corridors but that's it".
Harry gasped and looked at Luna, "You were the one who ate my chocolate deluxe cake! Ahhhh!".
Harry dropped to his knees and began to hit the non-existent floor in the void while crying waterfall tears, he had been saving that cake for when he had lunch, it was a very hard-to-find and super delicious cake since it was a rare drop from a monster in the Natural Dungeon.
The fact that he never got to taste it, hit him harder than anything he had experienced before since he has not been able to get that rare cake drop again, even when he has quite a few passive skills that up luck and drop rates.
Sora and Donald sweatdropped at the sight of a Keyblade Master lamenting this hard for something so simple as a cake, while Goofy walked up to Harry and patted his back.
Luna just giggled at her boyfriend's antics, she was already used to Harry being so overdramatic when it comes to his snacks, though, even when one of his children or another one of her harem sisters raided his sweets and snacks hiding place, he never gets angry.
It was kinda funny, though Luna soon decided to keep things rolling, "So! What's going on here? How did you guys find that back door to Kingdom Hearts, and what are you guys doing here in the void between worlds?".
Sora and Donald turned their attention to Luna, but before they could answer her, Harry stood up and sniffed a bit, before explaining what he had learned from the group of warriors a few moments ago, "Yeah, get this.
Apparently, some bad guys went around different worlds and kidnapped these so-called Princesses of Heart, young women with the purest hearts filled with light and used those hearts and a massive amount of darkness to punch a whole through the fabric of space and time into Kingdom Hearts".
Luna raised an eyebrow at what she just heard and stared at Harry in silence for a few seconds, "... What? That sounds both stupid and extremely dangerous".
Harry nodded, "My words exactly, these three have been going to different worlds trying to prevent anyone from getting their hands on these Princesses of Heart but failed at every turn.
The bad guys were apparently, very crafty, though Sora did close the door to the heart of these worlds, they seemed to think that this would stop the Heartless from getting into these worlds or at the very least, stopping them from getting to these worlds' hearts".
Luna looked even more perplexed, "... Again, what?".
Harry chuckled and shrugged, "I don't know, this all sounds so different from what we know from the Heartless back at home, they have never behaved like this nor tried to get to our world's heart".
Luna scratched her head in confusion, this all sounded so weird to her, so to find out what was going on here, she decided to do something to find out more, so Luna waved a hand and a black pool of shadows materialized in front of her.
Soon after, a small shadow emerged from the pool of darkness and looked up to Luna, waiting for her commands, however, before Luna could give the shadow any orders, Donald yelled in shock, "Squawk! Heartless!".
Out of instinct alone, Donald immediately pointed his staff at the shadow, while Sora and Goofy drew their weapons.
Donald began to gather mana in preparation to let off a spell, but Luna pointed a hand towards Donald and cast a spell before he could even begin to gather the mana he needed, "Silence".
The spell immediately took effect and Donald found himself unable to gather mana or use magic, which made him panic, Sora and Goofy were about to attack the shadow, but Luna moved her gaze toward them and stared at them hard with her silver-gray eyes.
This stopped Sora and Goofy in their tracks and made them flinch back, Luna seeing that they weren't going to attack again, spoke up, "Don't attack him, he won't harm anyone".
Sora and Goofy shivered at the hard and serious tone, Luna just used on them, while Donald, who couldn't speak because he was under the silence spell's effect, began to thrash around and jump in anger.
Harry shook his head and then decided to explain before someone did something to make Luna angry, that was never a good idea, "Calm down guys, yes, that little guy is a Heartless, but he's under Luna's control.
She can make Heartless with her own darkness, but they're docile and quite tame, they won't attack if you don't attack him first, besides, you guys would die if you attack the little shadow.
Despite being just a shadow, it's extremely powerful, far much more than that Ansem guy, Luna just saved your lives".
Sora and Goofy nodded understanding Harry's words and warning, they then put their weapons away, to avoid making the shadow hostile, Donald just stood there gaping in shock at what he just heard.
Luna smiled at Sora and Goofy and gave them a nod, Harry smiled as well, happy that he avoided Luna getting angry, "So what's the plan, Luna?".
Luna grinned at Harry and then explained her plan, "I'm going to send this little guy to find a group of Heartless and find out who is manipulating them and what's really going on.
Heartless don't behave the way they have been behaving in this world and I want to find out what's driving them to do all of that business of finding the worlds' heart and such".
Harry nodded understanding the plan, "Great plan, keep me posted, and let me know what's happening with this little shadow".
Luna nodded and then bent down towards the shadow, then she tied a bright yellow bow tie around its neck that she took out of her Inventory, "There we go little guy, go and find out what's happening and inform me of everything you find out".
The Heartless twitched a few times but soon nodded and then disappeared into the void around the group, all the while, Goofy, Donald, and Sora just stood there in complete shock at what they just saw.
Harry then turned around and stared at the big gray door on top of the gray platform, "Alright, now all we have to do, is close that door and make sure it never opens again".
