Becoming One

Xehanort was defeated as he slowly stood back up knowing that he lost this battle but that he won the war.

"Master Xehanort, it is over now! You have lost," says Sora with confidence.

"No, look," says Xehanort as the trio looked at Kingdom Hearts as it wasn't as it should be but more reddish.

"You are too late," says Xehanort as the trio thought they were defeated.

"What is going to happen now?" asks Sora desperately as Xehanort was leaning against the X-Blade while leaking Darkness from his body.

"A Purge," says Xehanort as he needed to take a deep breath before he continues, "The World will return to whence it started."

Xehanort was trying to muster all the strength he still had left as he continues with his theory about Scala ad Caelum while the trio only listened before Sora says, "It was not your decision to make."

"Then whose was it?" asks Xehanort when suddenly the X-Blade disappeared from his hand surprising not only him but also the trio.

"It was mine," says Leon as he was holding the X-Blade.

"It has been long, old friend," says Leon to the X-Blade as he looked at them when suddenly space seemed to break and rays of light flew out of it towards the five.

Leon could recognize one of them immediately as he says shockingly, "That can't be. She is dead."

The remaining Keyblade Wielders landed beside Sora while the Crownguard family landed in front of Leon as Lux was standing in the front row holding her hand out to him.

"Give me the Keyblade, Leon," says Lux as Leon looked at her in disbelief before he dropped it when Kieron caught it.

"Alright, we have the Keyblade what now?" asks Kieron looking at Nesiara while Lux hugging her husband who still wasn't clear about what was going on.

Kieron was trying to make a copy out of it but it didn't work which made him suspicious of the weapon he was holding when he looks at Leon and asks, "This Keyblade is different from the others I held before."

"Because it made using the sacrifices of thirteen people. It isn't as strong as the original," says Leon which surprised Lux when she fell over because Leon put her to sleep.

"To use my wife against me. It was a nice try but you miscalculated in something," says Leon before his eyes changed making Kieron, Nora, and Nesiara changed into the Sharingan as well.

"What did you mean with miscalculation?" asks Nesiara as she moved rapidly towards Leon who thought that Nesiara wanted to attack him.

He summoned the Gazing Eye in his hand to strike first only to find three bullets deflect the blade from its trajectory before the X-Blade block the attack. Nesiara grabbed Lux which was her objective from the beginning and retreats again when Excalibur was resting on his shoulder.

"You dare!" says Nora infuriated as Leon was now facing two of his infuriated siblings.

Kieron summoned Ea and the twins began to attack furiously at Leon who blocked easily their attacks since he had more experience in fighting than both of them.

Nesiara retreated and placed Lux beside Yui who was still out. Yuffie and Aerith were protecting both while Vincent and Mary joined the action against Leon.

Four against one and it seemed that Leon was still winning which made everyone seeing them fight nervous since they didn't know what was going on when Leon says, "It is time to stop this childish fight."

The Gazing Eye disappears from his hand as he summoned the real X-Blade in his hand. It was just radiating power from itself making the X-Blade in Kieron's hand look like a counterfeit.

"Let's end this I still have a fight against twenty enemies that are sealed away," says Leon as he rushed at Kieron first only to find Nora attack him first.

Nora thought she connected with Leon's torso only to find out that her sword phased through him as a trail of black smog followed her sword while Leon continued on his path towards Kieron.

"So you want to go serious!" says Kieron as he activated his Devil Trigger which transformed him into a Gold-skinned Demon.

He rushed at Leon while Mary shot a rocket at Leon which Vincent used to get nearer to Leon before jumping off of it. The rocket was about to hit Leon when Vincent shot it making it explode which hindered Leon's sight.

"The fight is intensifying. Leon will be winning if you and John don't join soon," says Aerith as Kieron and Leon clashed.

Kieron was sent flying into the ground beside the Keyblade Wielders when he gets back up and says, "That's how you want it! So be it! No more holding back!"

Suddenly rifts appeared all over the world and all of Kieron's weapons were pointed at Leon when suddenly the X-Blade in his hand began to shine brightly. It blinded everyone as Nesiara smiled knowing what that meant.

Suddenly a man wearing Nordic armor with short dirty blond hair and red eyes was standing there holding a hammer in one hand and a sword made out of light in the other.

In the meantime in the Realm of Dive to the Heart, John was stuck with Arthur and Shura training non-stop as John was fighting Arthur who was teaching him how to fight in his fighting style while Shura was just watching from the sideline since he was the one looking at what was happening outside this realm.

'Do you think he is ready?' asks Shura using telepathy to Arthur who was holding John in an armlock.

'How about we take a risk as he did when he was struck down by Xehanort,' says Arthur back to Shura while John was trying to free himself.

Shura sees the smile on Arthur's face and begins to smile as well before he announces, "It is time!"

Arthur let go of John who was confused as he asks, "Time for what?"

"To find out if you can survive what will happen next," says Arthur as his whole body slowly radiated lightning before his body turned into lightning itself.

Shura on the other hand slowly turned back to Light and Darkness which spread all over the realm as Arthur's Lightning from did the same.

"Now, we will see if your a worthy of carrying a fragment of the Godslayer and the Judge of Gods," says Shura as his voice echoed through the realm before both struck at John at the same time.

John was pinned on the ground screaming in pain as lightning, light, and darkness were entering his body. It was slowly forming his body as it expanded first before he shrank down. His hair turned from his natural platinum blond to dirty blond while his natural green eyes turned blood red.

He shrank down from his former towering 2,7m to 2,1m but his body stayed stocky as it used to be maybe a bit more muscular. His eyes seemed to say that he carried more wisdom than before when he noticed that Mjølnir was still on the stained glass.

He stretches his hand out to it and Mjølnir flew towards him recognizing him as its new master. Once in his hand, he raised Mjølnir into the Dark Sky and red lightning hit him and his clothes began to change back to his former armor.

But it didn't stop there as Arthur's and Shura's armor flew towards him. Slowly his armor grows fur before metal plates were placed over it with some runes engraved on it before the metal turned from golden to black.

John was now wearing Arthur's Nordic Armor with the color palette of Shura's War God Armor that used to be black before the blood turned it red.

The armor soon grows some engravements which showed some mythological events that took place like Thor wrestling with the World Serpent or Shura sitting on a throne passing Judgement on some Gods.

"I feel different," says John as he removed his helmet holding it with his elbow and his hip when he looks at the stained glass that changed as well.

On the stained glass, John now had red eyes and blond hair instead of blue eyes and blue hair. He was looking at the stained glass before the realm shook for him.

"Something must have happened outside the realm. I need to return," says John as he puts the helmet back on before he stretches his hand out and Judgement appeared in it.

He lets go of Mjølnir before he takes a good grip of his hair and cuts it with Judgement before picking up Mjølnir again while saying, "Time to return to them."

John then points Judgement at the Black Sky and it turned White in one spot before the energy John was releasing cracked the sky opening a way for him to return.

He jumped and flew towards the hole he created as his body began to shine intensely as he left the Realm of Dive to the Heart. He was in a white tunnel without an exit when he closed his eyes and he began to think of Nesiara.

"She needs me. I need to get to her side," says John concentrating on Nesiara as he began to shine brightly before an exit opened for him.

He passes through it and he finds himself beside Kieron who was holding the X-Blade that Xehanort created. He looked at the Night Sky and all its stars when he turns to Kieron who was still in his Devil Trigger.

"Who are you?" asks Kieron surprised as he couldn't recognize his father like everyone else except for Nesiara who was beside Aerith and Yuffie.

John looked at Kieron and knew why no one could recognize him since he was at least 20cm smaller than Kieron right now and not 40cm taller than him like usual.

"That can wait until we have dealt with him," says John as he pointed at Leon.

Leon thought that John was mocking him because he couldn't feel any energy coming from him when John points Judgement at Leon and he says, "Surrender now, boy. I won't be able to hold back once we start to fight."

"You and which army? You are just a crazy person without any power. I can defeat you just with one swing," says Leon as he was still preparing for Kieron's attack.

John turned to Kieron and asks, "Can you hold your attack until I am done with him?"

"Yes, but going by your strength you won't be able to win against him," says Kieron as he didn't have much hope for John since he couldn't feel John's strength.

"Ah, Don't worry about me, boy. Just make sure that you don't attack," says John as he pierces the ground with Judgement as he wasn't going to use him yet.

John then looked at Leon with a relaxed face as he used his index finger to tell Leon to attack him which provoked Leon a bit since he thought that John was just a crazy old man.
