I think it’d be really, really funny if the Civilians of Twilight Town keep trying to guess what Roxas, Xion, Lea, and Isa’s deal is, trying to fit them into SOME sort of even remotely traditional family structure and end up with, like, six different competing rumors even before the polite blonde girl who divides her time between “the old abandoned mansion, which they guess she owns?” and “nowhere in the area.”

And then the visiting scientist.

And the other visiting scientist.

And the scientists’ apparent son (other son?), who spends his entire trip talking with Pence about something they’ve clearly been collaborating on for at least a year despite the fact that no one’s ever seen him before.

Xion introduces a boy who looks nothing like her, currently lives with his family (not, she specifies, her family,) and has no relationship with Roxas or Lea whatsoever. Apparently they’re both the children (okay, he says creations, but Even’s an odd one) of one of the scientists. Technically, they say. They look nothing alike. They’re pretty sure he doesn’t live with the scientist, either. He does know Namine (presumed to be the scientists’ mutual daughter) but they say they’re not siblings point blank. Someone crosses Xion and Namine being sisters off a whiteboard, then considers and puts a question mark there.

Roxas’s incredibly obvious identical twin shows up and they claim to be half-brothers. Roxas will skateboard away from all followup questions. On another trip, he’ll bring a third boy who introduces himself as “the other half of (Ven’s) heart” and then immediately refers to Roxas, Xion, and Ven (but not Lea or the other boy, who nonetheless knows him) as his siblings. He claims to have been born at the dawn of time and just after the worlds shattered and also sixteen years ago. (Vanitas knows exactly what he is doing and is THRIVING off the chaos.)

Based off similar hair colors, her apparent dislike of Lea, and sheer desperation, half the town is convinced that Aqua and Isa are siblings and she sided with him during the breakup. There’s no consensus about how Terra fits into this. (Isa’s not correcting them. About any of this. It’s not worth it.)

Seifer gets back from a journey of self-discovery and asks who the newbies are and gets shown eight different, mutually-contradictory conspiracy boards in the form of family tree/relationship charts. Lauriam and Elrena have been the source of multiple schisms among the gossip mill.

By the time Sora shows up again even Hayner, Pence and Olette are having trouble keeping everything straight, and they actually know the whole story.

#kingdom hearts #long post #note that whether or not any given professed relationship is ACTUALLY how they consider each other should be ambiguous #(except for Ven and Vanitas and Even and Xion and Repliku which are obviously canonically accurate but being interpreted as not literal) #and any assumed relationship by the town is equally unreliable #Roxas and Ven know they can’t get away with being UNrelated but refuse to say they’re twins #it would only raise more questions at their birthdays #Sora brings Strelitzia too. Sora doesn’t know Lauriam’s name. Ven clearly knows them both. Chaos reigns. #the TT Teen Trio figure it’s none of their business whether any given group are siblings or dating or both #it’s Heart Stuff. that gets complicated even before the time travel and giving each other your body and replicas and everything else #if someone wants them to know then they’ll tell them. except Vanitas. but then someone else will tell them. #oh also Seifer DEFINITELY met Leon during that journey of self-discovery and it was a Whole Mutual Thing #but that goes without saying and he will never mention it to the rest of the town as it won’t come up… #up until some of the Radiant Garden crew visit and recognize him.

#SPEAKING OF BAD KH FANS SAYING WE JUST WANT TO SEE SORIKU BANG #if JT wasnt garbage i would post the clip of him going 'ooooOOOOHHHHhhh' from hercules games #for context: in the second comment theyre referring to a previous one of mine #where i said how i dislike being labeled a yaoi fangirl for shipping soriku #and in the third the 'deviance' theyre speaking of is another of mine where i said some ppl interpret xion being a girl #as sora having gender envy towards kairi #(deviance is a word i see thrown around a LOT by transphobes/homophobes) #i havent bothered to reply bc its just not worth it to try and argue with these ppl but like #1. mention of light tunnel in kh3 with 'definition of romantic love' despite showing elsa and anna #2. 'there is no gay in kh' aka just straight up ignoring strelitzias canon crush on the khux player regardless of gender #anyway. i contemplated just sending the ram ranch copypasta in response #but decided against it. at least for now #this isnt even on the soriku comp btw #this is on the video 'dont worry kh3 is still gay' lol #oh uh minor tw for aku/roku mention

[fabulousairpirate]

incoming kh rant, lol

Hi! I'm supposed to be doing schoolwork, so you know what that means: it's time for me to talk about kingdom hearts again!

Y'all remember how Xion was originally treated by the fandom, particularly by shippers? I do. I was in the trenches fighting for my girl's honor while folks who shipped Protag Boy with Best Friend who was ten years older than him slandered her into oblivion. There was literally no Xion content for years. Go to Youtube right now and look up any video that was widely known throughout the fandom (Axel as Dane Cook, which are still classics btw, character Disney themes, trailers for different movies using KH cutscenes, fuckin Invader Zim videos) and I'm willing to bet you money that Xion will not appear in any of them. If she did, it was like "Woah this person really knows their stuff, they've got fuckin' Xion in the vid." But most of the stuff was either people complaining about her being shoehorned in, making her the villain in the AkuRoku stuff, or just the beaten-to-death joke of "Who's Xion?" Maybe we just needed to mature or dive deeper into the story, but by the time KH3 came out, the tune had thankfully changed and she received the hero's Welcome Back she deserved. It's interesting to see the change from completely neglected and ignored character to fandom darling, but if anyone can pull it off, it's her.

I will say though, it is so viscerally satisfying to hear the remix of Vector to the Heavens. It was already a great boss theme. But the KH3 version, with the heavy rock guitar and the war drums, it almost gives off the impression that it isn't just Xion fighting her opponent; it's Xion fighting US. It's her answer to the endless "Who's Xion" jokes: I Will Make You Remember Me. And I Will Cut Your Max HP, Thank You.

Idk. I love her, always did and always will. Character of all time.

#kh #kingdom hearts #xion #kh xion #kh 358/2 days #kh3 #i should make stuff for other characters too lol #she aint even the main character #i should also specify that all the videos i mentioned are at least 15 years old. #times have changed A LOT #and i'm in no way calling anyone a bad person for how they treat a character oh my god it's really not that deep #it's just very interesting to observe

[thetrashthatsmilesback]

I have an idea that is in a similar vein to the theory that Sora was the Lich in KH3, but differs slightly - I think Sora can take on the darkness (or feed on the light possibly? I think its one of two) of others' hearts. This theory mostly hinges on how Sora takes on the pain of Ven, Roxas, and Xion. For some reason I can't find the screenshot, but I am in class so my searching skills aren't fully devoted at the moment. I'll run through cutscenes eventually, but basically I'm thinking of the scene where Sora says he is taking on the burden/pain of those in his heart.

Throughout the series, Sora has had a unique ability to hold others in his heart, it's the basis of the "Sora is the Lich" theory from kh3. This leads me to wonder about the actual mechanics of him taking on not only hearts, but specifically hearts in pain on the verge of death.

Sora isn't the only one in the series with hyperempathy, notably both Baldr and Xehanort both experience the ability that Sora has of feeling other's pain across unbelievable stretches. Both of these fell to darkness due to the extreme feelings they were experiencing- to take on another's pain is to eventually overwhelm yourself and fall. It's possible that Sora has yet to have this occur due to the nature of the hearts within him - namely Ventus and Kairi, the hearts of pure light.

When playing kh3, you do not have to use rage form until the forced moment at Kairi's death. Prior to that moment, it is entirely optional, almost as if Sora is able to hold himself back from falling into it. While his rage over Kairi's death would make sense after everything he had just done to save everyone, it's also notable that the only instance of forced rage form is after Ventus is gone from Sora's heart.

Many have commented on how sora's darkness has grown through the games, and I'm the past I've wondered if the growing darkness also aligning with how close we are to Ventus waking up are connected, and I'm beginning to believe firmly that they are. I think that Sora is able to draw on the dominant power of the hearts around him in order to maintain balance of light and dark within his heart. As Ven grew closer to waking up, his heart of pure light was strengthening and healing- and in tandem sora's darkness grew. He took on the hearts of Roxas and Xion, both of which would hold some darkness, which makes me wonder if their hearts were helping contribute darkness to keep sora's in balance while holding Ventus's.

If someone with the hyperempathy only takes on the darkness of others' hearts, then they are more susceptible to being overcome by darkness, but if Sora has been slowly taking on both dark and Ventus's light, then it could explain why he has kept from overloading with darkness thus far despite all his trauma. "My friends are my power," what if they really are - what if Sora can literally draw light or darkness from those around him. Sorry if this was rambling or incoherent, I haven't slept.

[ujellys]

still a massive hater for the fandom misinterpretation that roxas is constantly miserable and aggressive and rude and hates everyone and everything. he reacts understandably upset in the situations he’s put in a few times and suddenly he’s a suicidal angry dude

i also hate the weird idea fandom has that he hates or somewhat loathes sora? i guess it’s because he always reacted angrily when sora was repeatedly brought up in the kh2 intro but it’s fair because he had no clue what was going on and no one was giving him answers. did we forget the ddd scene and the kh3 scenes. he clearly respects and admires sora and understands why sora has the role he does. theres definitely some hurt he feels because of it but never straight up hate

#the majority of his existence he was clueless and properly learning what it meant to be a person #not to mention he was largely always happy and motivated solely because he wanted to spend time with xion and axel #and yknw his whole thing was fighting for his right to exist #its also so clear people just wanna make roxas some edgy bad boy that he isnt #he just wants to have a peaceful happy life with his friends and be able to exist as his own person #VENTUS was more angry and aggressive than roxas but hes babied to hell and back

gonna become a square enix executive so i can get exclusive access to kh4 stuff, and when the marketing team starts splicing together the worst trailer in the world to show you guys, ill whisper "psst don't watch that it'll be full of so many spoilers" and ill make my own trailer of all the shit i got to see instead without revealing the most important and plot-heavy stuff

#kingdom hearts #stormy weather #we all know id just include 2 minutes of running around in the maps and fighting and then 14 seconds of a cutscene of sora at starbucks #i unironically recommend going back and watching the kh3 trailers and whenever you notice something #like super plot heavy being mentioned or visually shown #ask yourself how many that one part of the trailer tells you about what happened in the game #for example: the lingering will appearing to fight terranort #well now we know lingering will is back and more than likely an ally #we now also know terra remained a vessel for xehanort #both stuff you REALLY APPRECIATE MORE IF YOU DONT KNOW ITS COMING #another good one here we go #xion was shown pointing her keyblade at a weakened axel #no you cant see her face but her physique is identical #and who else wields a kingdom key in the Organization #it was either gonna be roxas or xion #and given roxas FUCKING UNHOODS HIMSELF #HOLDING THE OBLIVION IN HIS HAND #you can PROBABLY guess who is who. #storm madge in the tags hi everyone

Xion

Oneus: Valkyrie

Oneus Part 90 / ∞

#oneus #oneus valkyrie #xion #no but listen i've already mentioned how cute he is #but he was just so effortlessly adorable on stage #always smiling and always kind of shy when he was the center of attention #but also very much a menace ready to drown the others in water the second he got the chance #very much like an actual little brother

[dreamcast-official]

listen i like aku/sai but also so many ppl throw the nuclear family structure on them + roxas and xion and then im like. ok thats stupid actually

#eli.txt #like! yes axel is family to roxas and xion. for one he literally raised roxas #that does not mean that he fits into a typical 'brother' or 'father' role for them. i dont think he does. #and that also doesnt mean that roxas and xion are like siblings?? the text very much so implies otherwise even. #not 2 mention saix is a fucking ass to both roxas and xion LOL he does NOT fit that sort of role at ALL #he let xion have a dog and thats it. hes a fuckin dick. even if he hypothetically gets better i do not think hed have that role. #it just feels like ur undermining both axel's relationship to roxas and xion AND his relationship to saix #as well as undermining the individual characters of all the guys involved #not 2 mention some of the ppl who throw this dynamic on them also look at roku/shi and say its gross when. ur making up a problem. #roku/shi is very easy to take from the text as intentional romantic coding and you deciding that axel roxas and xion's dynamic is more- #-palatable of theyre a nuclear family doesnt change that and youre being stupid #disliking roku/shi is one thing but claiming its bad to like it bc You made up a dynamic in Your mind is. sure a take that exists.

[goldensunset]

any thoughts on what you hope roxas' story will be going forward? :3

ouh…. ok so that really is a good question bc nomura hasn’t really offered any insight. i mean when you consider he didn’t even originally intend to bring roxas and xion back to life he almost certainly hasn’t been planning out their future going forward. but honestly it would be ok with me if they just got to chill and live a happy life in twilight town or whatever after all they’ve been through. they’ve had their time and i think it would be ok if they stepped back and let others shine.

but! if there was something with them, i would hope it plays into them trying to resolve whatever lingering issues related to sora they have. like trying to establish their own identities and stuff, getting therapy, etc. but once they get over their own stuff i think there’s a lot of potential for cool and/or funny stuff to happen between them and sora. like they can suddenly read each others’ minds or communicate telepathically or give each other power boosts in battle or swap bodies or something. just weirdo ‘yeah i’m totally a normal organic human being nothing weird is going on here :)’ moments.

as for serious stuff i’d love for them to expand on the idea of roxas and xion searching their own hearts for clues to sora’s whereabouts. doesn’t make much sense at first glance given what we know (at least from what i know about it) but it would be super cool if their connected hearts really did let them reach him somehow. basically like roxas and xion get to stay home and chill but they’re also like ground control (which is also what i’ve often talked about wanting for kairi). or they go on missions to do like general helpful side things in the world (which would also be a cool thing to do with kairi as a trio)

#you only mentioned roxas but y’know i think of him and xion as a package deal at this point of the series #asks #ngc-5194 #kingdom hearts #roxas #xion

I am of the firm opinion that, until EXPLICITLY proven otherwise by canon, Kingdom Hearts Court Magician Donald Duck spent most of his childhood and adolescence traveling across the worlds on adventures with his Uncle Scrooge, and that's where he learned magic.

This is also where he discovered a lot of magical items, not to mention all the ones SCROOGE found, so honestly Donald doesn't even bother to keep track of all the treasures in the Duck Family's possession, no one does really, not even SCROOGE knows, he'll go digging one up because he needs one for a specific purpose/adventure and in the process he'll unearth like five similar ones he just plain forgot about.

Obviously Scrooge continued adventuring while Donald was off being a Musketeer, including at least one use of Zettaflare that is forever engraved in Goofy and Mickey's memories but for Donald was just in his bottom quarter of all-time adventure rankings, and obviously Scrooge continued finding fantastical treasures that he may or may not know the significance of. There's at least one magical sword that's currently being used at the Bistro as a knife because it never loses its edge.

What I'm saying is Scrooge McDuck is a Keyblade wielder and you cannot convince me otherwise. A weapon that can also open any chest is INVALUABLE to an adventurer like him, are you kidding? When he retired from adventuring in favor of being a full-time entrepreneur he just chucked it in the bin with everything else. Probably he managed to find one of the Foretellers' old Keyblades lying around or something. It'd just figure. No one told HIM he was needed for a war between light and darkness for the fate of all the worlds! Donald never tells him where he's been these days!

While I laid out this proposition to a friend on Discord, she agreed and added that Webby should get a Keyblade too.

Conclusion:

This is the current wielder of Ira's Keyblade. Scrooge had it lying around for a decade in some attic somewhere, Webby thought the unicorn was cool, and Scrooge figured, hey! Every child should have a good set of lockpicks for treasure chests and a means of self-defense, and it's not as though he's using it for anything important!

When Donald finds this out, he will be disappointed, but not surprised.

#kingdom hearts #eye contact #scopophobia #just gonna be on the safe side because that is a good Webby Stare right there. #Ducktales 2017 #ducktales #webby vanderquack #scrooge mcduck #donald duck #I know this will never happen for a variety of reasons starting with the fact that it would require a Disney character #who has not previously been relevant to BECOME relevant to the metaplot AND introduce a new one at that. Not likely. #plus then you get into the fact that 2017 Scrooge is a different continuity and design than 1987 Ducktales Scrooge or subsequent appearance #not to mention the voice actor differences (They could've gotten Tennant in 3 but didn't and Enn Reitel isn't trying to be him OR Young) #so using Webby (which they won't) would mean a character who should for design continuity be using her 1987 look and characterization #to go along with Scrooge and the boys but for 'why would Disney ever do this EXCEPT Brand Synergy' should obviously be 2017 #and like any kind of mixing and matching of the designs and voices would be odd even if Webby hasn't been established in KH #so there's no need to try and imitate Russi Taylor's very distinctive Duck Voice but at the same time it would just be ODD #like. Never gonna happen. Especially not to have a FORETELLER'S Keyblade particularly now that they're back in play. #but I think it would be funny as hell and so it is canon in my heart. #besides between the Xion-Roxas-Sora Can Dual Wield Even In 3 thing and whatever's going on with Keyblade Inheritance in 3 #with regards to Terra and Aqua's Keyblades and heirs (and whoever you argue Terranort's using they are also there at the Graveyard) #(like whether it's Terra's-that's-Sora's or Terra's or Xehanort's we've got LW there we've got Sora we've got Xehanort) #the only conclusions I can draw are either that Keyblades naturally duplicate themselves with a few plot-specific exceptions #or that Keyblades are susceptible to at least two different forms of item duplication glitch one of which involves time travel #meaning it is entirely possible for Scrooge and Webby to have Ira's Keyblade and Ira to ALSO have Ira's Keyblade #because time travel was probably involved if nothing else and time travel can allow for Keyblade Duplication Glitches #(no seriously try to explain how Roxas Xion and Sora all use a Keyblade at once in 3 WITHOUT at least one instance of duplication.) #(and this is assuming some convoluted 'Roxas inherited Ven's and Xion inherited Sora's and Roxas bequeathed her Sora's' in Days) #(so that there is technically no duping in Days but then with Sora and Ven ALSO running around in 3... like.) #(I'm pretty sure Saix is getting beat up with 4-5 copies of a single Keyblade that has been repeatedly duplication glitched is my point.)

[dreamsy990]

thing i wrote down about roxas in class today that i wanted to share: a lot of the time when he tries to articulate a feeling he uses something physical. like roxas has a kind of bad understanding of emotions so he links them to tangible changes or physical feelings.

#when he thinks axel is dead he doesnt say hes sad or grieving he says he 'has a weird choked up sensation' #when xion dies he says 'who else will i eat ice cream with'. #when HE dies he says 'it looks like my summer vacation is over' #he doesnt just say how hes feeling because he doesnt really know how hes feeling #he describes the sensations and tangible changes but never the emotions #<- i mean he might outright mention emotions at some point but idk i cant remember any #anyways i just think its good character writing #he doesnt understand emotions well so of course he doesnt articulate them in a normal way #i just think hes neat

[mirror-to-the-past]

I was laughing my butt off on the Day 74 clock tower cutscene, because Xion's character model kept inexplicably switching between the hooded and unhooded one over and over again. She's just "I CAN'T WIELD THE KEYBLADE. I'M USELESS. I'M GOING TO BE MURDERED, ROXAS. TURNED INTO A DUSK. I'LL LOSE MY SENSE OF BEING."

Flips hood flips hood flips hood flips ho-

#it's her coping mechanism for real #Organization XIII members deserve fidget toys too #that or she's seeing how many times she can do it before someone says something #Xion- writing in her own diary: 'Day 55 of Roxas just being 'happy he's with his friends' 'No one is mentioning the hood flipping :(' #kingdom hearts #kh 358/2 days #first playthrough #spoilers in notes

May I have this Dance?

Aka some very good fanart has made me want these two to interact a lot more

Written companion piece under cut:

"Okay, so far so good." I tell myself as I help myself to some juice. I was worried this party was going to end in disaster, especially because now Kagami knows about my scars so things will likely be awkward for a while, but thankfully the party itself is going pretty well, even if there's.... even more people than I expected.

I'm not particularly socially anxious, or at least that's my default setting so more people coming in doesn't make it worse, but everyone talking and being so packed together is starting to make me feel a tad dizzy.

"Howdy!" Xion shouts as she runs up to me, snapping me out of my thoughts for now.

"Hello Xion, are you having a good night?" I ask my technically sister and she grins in response.

"You know it!," she confirms before getting slightly more serious, "how about you, you and Kagami seemed pretty uncomfortable earlier."

"Oh, right," I reply awkwardly because I really had hoped no one noticed, "don't worry, it's fine, we were just talking about something that happened in Castle Oblivion that's a bit of a touchy subject for both of us. Things will admittedly be awkward between us for a few days but it's nothing to worry about-!!" Ah... my... my throat... why is it feeling tighter...?! Why can't I.... breathe...?!

"Huh?! Ienzo are you alright?! Do you need me to get a healer?!" Xion asks looking concerned.

"I'm... fine....," I struggle to get out as I think I know what to do but I don't want the others seeing it, "I just... need some fresh air.... I'll be right back...!"

With that I run as fast as I can out of the Opera House, and once I'm out I quickly rip off the choker necklace covering my bruises and do my best to take deep breaths instead of hyperventilating. Heh... I was already feeling pretty dizzy, so I suppose thinking about that while having something on my neck mixed into a cocktail of disaster. I suppose that's my life in a nutshell, a lot of bad things just colliding into a disaster.

"Ienzo?" !! Huh? Turning around to see who said that, and it's... Laurium? I'm not complaining, we got along decently back in the Organisation and his Somebody is very nice from the little I've interacted with him during these cases, but I'm a little surprised it's him.

"Hey, are you alright?," he asks snapping me out of my thoughts, "I saw you running out looking panicked, is something wrong?"

"O Oh, it's nothing, just something silly," I assure him as I do my best to cover my bruise with my arm because I'm not ready to put the choker back on yet, "the crowd was just a bit much for me and I needed some fresh air, that's all. Sorry if I was being a bit overdramatic about it."

Laurium doesn't reply, at least not verbally, instead he just looks even more concerned as he comes over to me and gently lowers my arm to reveal the bruise.

"When did you get this?" He asks not looking shocked, horrified or anything like that, just worried.

"Castle Oblivion," I admit with a sigh, "it's.... just a leftover from how I died."

"And combine that with what you were wearing," Laurium states while looking at the now discarded choker, "why are you trying to cover it up when it's clearly stressing you out?"

"U Um, this usually doesn't happen," I assure him while leaving out the 'anymore', "I think it's just because this thing is tighter than my shirt collar which I usually use to cover it."

"If you say so," he says in a tone that has me not convinced he believes me, "but, in that case, why were you trying to cover it with that thing in the first place? With how dark it is in the Opera House I doubt many people would've noticed."

"It... well....," I struggle to say before sighing and admitting to it, "it's less for the crowd and more for the others. They don't know, I've caused them all enough grief, especially recently, I'd rather not add another worry onto the pile by letting them know I still have this...."

"Well, I'm not the best expert, but I think if keeping something hidden is causing you pain you shouldn't have to deal with it, and if the others have a problem with it or start being weirdos because of it then they can shut up," he tells me aggressively passionate before sighing and calming down, "sorry, I'm probably sounding like an overly concerned parent right now but, I know that trying to hide an injury from the people who care about you is a bad idea."

"You do?" I ask surprised and Laurium nods to confirm as he sits down on the Opera House stairs and motions for me to do the same, and once I do he rolls up one of his trousers to reveal a leg that has definitely seen better days.

"Got it from a fight with Maleficent before I became a Nobody," he explains before I can ask, "I tried to hide it from my friends because we had bigger problems at the time, but by the time it had gotten so bad I could barely stand and they found out it had set wrong so they had to break it again to attempt to fix it. It's somewhat better now but it barely works and sometimes the pain still flares up. Not a one to one with your situation, yours is more psychological and mine is more physical, but the same principle applies, if you try to keep this to yourself, it's going to keep getting worse until it reaches a point where nothing can fully undo it."

..... He's right, I know he's right, bottling up all of my emotions almost trapped me in a nightmare labyrinth forever, but...

"I know I should tell them but.... I'm scared," I think out loud, "I know I was young and was raised to not know any better, but I still did so many horrible things, it's a miracle that any of them want to spend time with me at all. I'm worried that if I become too much of a burden they'll all leave me behind and get someone new to take my place. It wouldn't be the first time...."

"Well first of all, anyone who would abandon someone as smart and kind as you is an idiot," Laurium tells me and I barely resist the urge to laugh at the bluntness, "secondly, I get it, I still can't believe Naminé somehow forgave me after everything I put her through and a part of me is waiting for the rug to be pulled. But, living in constant fear that things are going to end and doing dumb things that hurt yourself because of it, you shouldn't have to deal with that. So, here's my advice. Don't completely ignore others opinions, but when it comes to things like this, don't care about how other people will think, just do what's best to stop yourself from being hurt."

"..... Heh, easier said than done given my habits, but I'll try." I agree with a light chuckle as I stand up-!! My foot was on my dress going down!

"I got you!," Laurium yelps as he pulls me back to my feet right before I hit the stairs, "heh, I guess being a master mage means you don't have to be as fast on your feet."

"Trust me, I know, I'm working on it," I groan a little in response before I start chuckling as well, "I should probably head back inside, I told Xion I'd be right back and I think she's probably getting worried. But, Laurium, thank you."

"It's the least I could do, don't worry about it," he tells me with a kind smile before getting an idea face, "though, if you're up for it, are you up for a quick dance?"

"!!! Very well, but no promises that I'll be any good at it." I agree before my nerves talk me out of it.

"Ehe, don't worry, you can't be any worse then Elrena dancing in heels at least." Laurium assures me with a chuckle and I can't resist the urge to laugh this time as we walk back inside. I almost put the choker back on out of habit but I stop myself and instead put it in my dress's pocket. No more hiding, I can do this.

Mini Fanfic #1046: Unwanted Guest (Kingdom Hearts)

2:34 a.m. at the Sea Salt Family's Apartment.......

Lea: (Yawning and Stretches his Arm Up as He Makes his Way to the Kitchen) Ah man! That has to be the best New Year Sleep I've ever had in the long while. And no special ocassion like this would be completely without a midnight Seasalt snac-

?????: 'Suuup.

Lea gets startled at the black hooded figure standing beside the counter of the kitchen, holding a Seasalt Ice Cream in his Hand, before summoning his Keyblade and pointing it at him in a battle and self defense position.

????: Huh. Well, I'll be damned. (Starts Taking a Look Around Lea's Keyblade) I forgot you took the role as one to thoses... "Keyblade Warriors", Axe man. The design looks nice. (Uses his Finger to Tough the Tip of the Weapon) I see it also got that sizzling feeling.

Lea: (Quickly Moves his Keyblade Away From the Hooded Figure) Hey, hands off the Key, pri- Wait. That voice.....(Eyrs Starts to Widened at the Realization) Is that you Xigbar?

Xigbar: (Takes his Hood Off, Revealing Himself With a Cocky, Shit Eating Grin on his Face) In the flesh, baby! But to be frank, I don't really go by that name anymore. (Takes a Bite Off the Ice Cream in his Hand Before Nodding) ('Mmm') I can see why you and the kiddos like eating these all of time. This is some damn good ice cream.

Lea: (Makes his Keyblade Disappear as he Places his Hands on his Hips) So what? Am I supposed to call you Braig now? And who the hell says you can eat our ice cream?

Xigbar(?): A little thing I like to call my "free will". (Takes Another Bite of his Ice Cream) And a good thing I got 'em too. They were the last ones you had.

Lea: Last ones we- (Quickly Made his Way to the Refrigerator and Opens it Before his Eyes Begins to Widened at the Sight of an Empty, Opened Box) What the fuc- There was supposed to be four in there! (Immediately Turns Back to Xigbar with a Glare) You ate all of them!?

Xigbar: Nah. Just half n half. I ate the first two myself and sent the other two to my mini fridge for later. They're way too good go to waste, at least for you clowns. (Lets Out a Cheeky Laugh Before Finishing Up the Last Ice Cream in his Hand)

Lea: (Resummons his Keyblade in Anger as He Steps Closer to his Former Colleague) You one eyed piece of-

????: Axeeeeeeel!

The two men turns to see Xion walking into the kitchen while yawning, stretching, and rubbing her eyes.

Xion: We talked about this. You can't keep eating ice cream in the middle of the nigh-(Eyes Starts to Widened a Very Familiar Face Standing in Front of Her Viewpoint)

Xigbar(?): (Happily Waves at the Black Haired Girl) Xion! How's my favorite little puppet been doing these days?

Xion: (Immediately Summons her Keyblade With a Darken Expression on her Face) What are you doing here?

Xigbar: Whaaat? Can't an old friend come by and visit you guy?

Xion: Leave.

Xigbar: Giving me the cold shoulder already, aren't ya?

Xion: Leave.

Xigbar: Couldn't you at least be a doll and let me get a chance to explain first?

Xion: Don't care. Get the hell out.

Xigbar: Yeaaaah. See, I would, but this is kind of important to the foreseeable future, sooooo.....

Xion: (Turns to Axel) Why did you let him in our home, Axel?

Lea: (Holds his Hands Up in Defense) Hey, don't look at me! He was here before i even came to this kitchen! (Turns Back to his Old Colleague) And speaking of which, how DID you get in here anyways?

Xigbar: By the power of darkness, of course.(Creates a Small, Dark Ember in the Palm of his Hand While Holding it Up) Not as strong enough as it used to, but it's still as useful as it ever been. (Engulfs the Ember By Crushing it With his Hand) And to brag or anything, but I've gain few new abilities up in my arsenal as of late, so be sure to be on the lookout for that train wreck coming to life. (Points Two Finger Guns at the Duo While Making a Clicking Sound Through his Teeth)

Lea: (Rolls his Eyes in Annoyance) Uh-huh.

Xion: (Grits her Teeth) Joy.

Roxas: (Walks Into the Kitchen While Yawning) Xion, Axel, what's with all the noise in her- (Eyes Widens Before Pinching his Nose in Annoyance) Oh God, not you again....

Xigbar: Good 'ole, blonde! It's been a while.

Roxas: Feelings not neutral. What are you doing here?

Xigbar: Oh I came by to visit. Had a taste of you Seasalt Ice Cream and whatnot.

Roxas: Had a taste of our- (Quickly Makes his Way to Refrigerator to Open it Only to See an Empty Box Facing Towards Him Before Turning Back to Xigbar in Shock) You ate all our ice cream!?

Lea: Yep. Every last one of them.

Xigbar: Uh no. I only ate two. Sent the last two back in my current living place. Gonna have 'em a to myself in the early morning~

Roxas: (Immediately Summons Two of his Keyblades in Anger) I'mma kill him.

Xion: Get in line, Roxas. I'm killing him first.

Lea: Neither of you are killing him, alright? (Turns Bsck to Xigbar) I saw him in here first. Therefore, I get the privilege to kill.

Roxas: (Puts on a Deadpinned Look on his Face) Seriously?

Xion: (Glares at the Fire Mom) Do not be selfish, Axel!

Lea: (Glares Back at his Two Kids) Hey, I'm only being fair here!

Roxas: Doubt it.

Xion: Your definition of fairness is bleak.

Lea: Oh don't get smart with me, you little twerps!!

As the Seasalt Trio begins to argue among one another, their last member of the family, Isa, begins walking into the kitchen as well.

Isa: What is going on in here- (Eyes Widened a Bit at Familiar Face Standing in the Other Side of the Room) Oh no.

Xigbar: Saix, my man! Long time no see.

Isa: (Let's Out a Heavily Sigh as He Walks Towards His Former Colleague) Xigbar. I see you're still a conniving snake as you've always been.

Xigbar: (Playfully Bows at Isa) Why, thank you, my good, stuck in the mud, man~ But as you can see, I don't go by that name anymore.

Isa: So what? We're supposed to call you Braig now or something?

Braig: (Shrugs) Ehhh. I mean, you could, buuuuut I don't go by that name either.

Isa: (Raises an Eyebrow in a Bit Curiosity) Really?

Braig: Yeeeup. In fact, I used to hate that name when I first came up with it. It sounded too plain for my liking, ya know?

Isa: So what is your actual name exactly?

Braig: Luxu.

Isa: Luxu?

Luxu: Luxu.

Isa: That sounds worse than your fake name.

Luxu: Hey, your real name sucks too, but you don't hear me open shoots at it, now do ya?

Isa: (Glares at "Luxu" For a Few Seconds Before Taking a Deep Breath) Look, I am too tired to deal with whatever nonsense you're planning on doing. So would you mind telling us what's your reason for being here in this hour?

Luxu: I was gonna tell ya. (Points at the Trio Who Are Still Arguing With One Another) But your three musketeers over there are already at each other's throats over who's gonna kill me. (Snickers While Shrugging) Not like either of them would succeed for that matter.

Isa: ('Sigh') I'll deal.with this.

Isa turns to.the arguing Trio before clearing his throat and screaming out......

Isa: SILENCE!!!

The trio finally cease their argument while giving Isa his attention.

Isa: I believe our unwanted guest has something he would like to tell us right now.

Luxu: Indeed I do! So you kiddies are familiar with a little thing we called the Great Keyblade War, right?

Roxas: Yeah, I...think we've learned more about it not too long ago actually.

Luxu: (Starts Walking Around the Kitchen) Good, good. Now tell me this: are you familiar with the group of Keyblade Masters who were involved in the whole shitshow of a war?

Lea: (Raises an Eyebrow in a Bit of Confusion) You mean the Foretellers, right?....What about them exactly?

Luxu: (Points at the Trio) Ding-Ding! Two answers in a row right! Pat yourselves on the back. If it's real that is.

Xion: Fuck you.

Luxu: (Let's Out Another Laugh) But no seriously though, to answer your question, Flamelockes, the four out of the five of them has returned from their decades upon decades of slumber. (Starts Smirking Evilly) And let's just say some of them aren't happy with the current events that has happened since then.

Isa: Oh no.....

Roxas: (Eyes Widened in Fear) You're telling us we're gonna have to deal with those guys at some point!?

Luxu: Pretty much. Hell, if goes south, we'll might have another Keyblade War in our hands.

Lea: (Facepalms Himself While Groaning) Goddammit....And here I thought we're actually taking a break from this madness for good this time...

Luxu: Hey now! There's no need to feel so gloom, people! They may not come today, or tomorrow, or a few days and weeks afterwards, but one of these days, they WILL come for you. And you're gonna have to prepare yourselves real hard for that time to come. (Chuckles Lightly) Cuz let me tell ya: they do not fuck around at all-

'YAWN'

Luxu and the others turn their attention towards an awoken angel boy walking into the kitchen.

Pit: You guys. Is everything okay in here? I hear a lot of screaming- (Begins to Notice an Unfamiliar Face in Black Standing Besidr the Counter) Uhh....

Luxu: (Waves at Pit) Ahoy there, kiddo. Who might you be?

Pit: Oh! Uh...Hello there. My name is Pit. I'm a friend of there's from another universe.

Luxu: (Raises an Eyebrow) Who's an...actual angel?

Pit: (Happily Nodded) Yep! (Smiles Sheepishly) I.. can't really fly that well with my mom's guidance, but I can shoot arrows made out of light!

Luxu: I see.....You know, I remember Invi telling me that she wants to meet and study a real angel up close. (Starts Walking Closer to the Angel) How 'bout you come along with me and-

Roxas: (Quickly Stands in Front of Pit While Pointing One of his Keyblades In Front of Luxu's Face) Don't even fucking go there!!

Xion: (Joins Alongside Roxas With Her Keyblade and a Very Angry Look on Her Face) STAY AWAY FROM HIM!!!

Lea: (Glares at Luxu) Lay one hand on that kid's head and I WILL call all of his moms to come over here on speed dial.

Luxu: (Raises an Eyebrow in Confusion) His moms?

Lea: Yeah, Xigbar, Braig, Luxu, or whatever the fuck you are, his moms! A goddess, a witch, three princesses, who are strong as shit by the way, the mayor's assistant, who is also strong, a bounty hunter from SPACE, a new Keyblade Warrior, yours truly, and Tifa Goddamn Lockhart! We do not play when it comes to our kids safety.

Pit: He's not kidding. Our moms can pretty overprotective 100% of the time....

Luxu: ('Sighs in Defeat') Alright, alright, relax. I was kidding. I'm already planning to leave anyways. (Creates a Dark Portal From the His Hand in Front of Him Before Turning Back to the Everyone Present in the Kitchen) But before I do that, I got some of words of advice for you guys, since I'm nice that way.

Roxas: ('Sigh') Let me guess: "May our hearts become your guiding key or whatever?"

Luxu: (Snaps his Finger Towards Roxas) Now you're getting it! But you better make sure those hearts of yours knows what they're doing. (Puts on Dark Look of his Oan) One wrong move will only lead you to nothing but your downfall. A pitch black abyss that you could never escape from no matter how hard you try. And so called "Light" and "Hope"....could only lead you so far before your potential demise will become inevitable. (Went Back to Smiling at Everyone) Welp, it was nice see you folks! Happy New Years and thanks for the Seasalt Ice Cream, suckers!

Luxu lets out an evil laugh as he steps into the dark portal. Lea tries throwing his Keyblade at him in frustration only for the portal itself to disappear completely at the last second.

Lea: (Let's Out a Frustrated Groan While Looking Up in the Ceiling and Grabbing the Front of his Hair) ('RARRRRGGH') I hate that guy!

Isa: (Sighs While Rolling his Eyes) Don't we all.

Pit: I take it you guys don't get along with him that much, do you?

Lea: ('Sigh Heavily') Nah....I mean, we used to work together in the organization a long time ago, but we were far from friends.

Xion: (Finally Lets Go of the Dark Expression and Turns it into Worried One as She Turns to Pit) He didn't scare you that badly, did he?

Pit: Not.... really? I mean, he's kind of creepy, but....(Shrugs With a Bit of an Sheepishly Smile) A-At least he didn't try and throw into a volcano. (Chuckles a Bit Awkwardly)

Lea: (Eyes Widened in Genuine Shock Along Woth the Kids) You were thrown in a volcano?

Pit: It's a long story.

Xion: ('Sigh') Okay, well, still, we don't want you to go anywhere near that Luxu guy anymore, alright?

Roxas: (Nodded in Agreement) Yeah, he's bad news.

Pit: (Nodded in Agreement as Well) O-Okay. Got it.

Isa: (Crosses his Arms While in a Deep Thought) This doesn't make any sense. How could someone like him be associated with the Foretellers of all people. And why are there only four of them.he mentioned? ('Sigh') Is there really something he knows that we don't?

Lea: (Starts Making his Way Back to the Room) We can try figuring all of that in the morning. I'm too tired and pissed right now to think.

Isa: (Follows Lea Behind) About the situation at hand?

Lea: (Glares at Isa) AND our ice cream!! Motherfucker came in our home unannounced and ate and stole the last ones we had! Do you have any idea how much that box alone cost in the grocery store in Smash town?

Isa: You know they sell Seasalt Ice Cream in a store near us, right?

Lea: Yeah, but they're off brand and tasted average in comparison.

Isa: (Puts on a Deadpinned Look on his Face) Did not take you as an ice cream connoisseur....

Lea: Hey, when you eat those things as much as I do, you tend to judge the different brands of the concept. ('Groans') Just thinking about them makes me more pissed than ever!

Isa: (Softly Rubs the Top of Lea's Head to Calm Him Down) Look, I'll buy a new box first thing morning once we arrived at the Smash Mansion. Just try not let what happened tonight get to you too much, okay?

Lea: ('Sigh') Alright. (Rests his Head Onto his Boyfriend's Shoulder) Thanks.

Isa: (Peacks the Top of Lea's Head) You're welcome.
