Arthur and Shura

"Now then, have you all decided on what you are going to do?" asks Nesiara as the Keyblade Wielders nod.

"We are going to stop Kingdom Hearts while Sora, Donald, and Goofy will deal with Xehanort," says Mickey as Nesiara nods because everything is going as it should.

"Then I will leave Xehanort to you Sora, Donald, Goofy," says Nesiara as the trio nods before they begin with their plan while Nesiara takes a big breath.

"Do we follow now or later?" asks Kieron as he looked at Kingdom Hearts before rays of lights hit it.

"Later with everyone else. Let's hope that your father wakes up before Leon completes his mission," says Nesiara to her family.

In the meantime on John's side, he felt like he was falling when he opened his eyes and he found himself surrounded by Darkness that he wasn't familiar with.

He looked around but he couldn't see anything as he was falling deeper into the Darkness until he crashed into the ground. He looked around but he could see nothing except for Darkness and a bloody throne made out of bones and skulls.

But no one was sitting on it when John hears a voice coming from behind him saying, "It seems you surpassed the bottleneck that I couldn't."

John turns around but no one was there when he hears Thunder but not Lightning striking the ground when suddenly a man in Nordic Armor appeared beside the throne.

He was holding a hammer which was engulfed in lightning. He was quite tall with 2,1m and his eyes are blue. He has long dirty blonde hair that was braided and a three-day beard.

"Thor Odinson?" says John as that was the only person that he could think of going by Mythology.

"You are right and wrong," says a voice not coming from that direction as an intense Light and Darkness began to manifest on the other side of the throne.

It took the shape of a human before it sat down on the throne when red eyes took John's attention. Then the Nordic Warrior walked towards John when their eyes met John felt like they met somewhere before.

"You are right he is Thor but not Odinson. He is Thor Tyrson and you know him better under another name," says the Light and Darkness sitting on the throne.

"Hmmm," says Thor as he closed his eyes before opening them again and he continues, "I can feel my power inside of you."

"What do you mean?" asks John as Thor lifted his hand and placed it on his shoulder before closing his eyes again.

He concentrated as he searched through John when a shadow manifested behind John which pushed Thor away. Thor could see clearly that the shadow had the same blue eyes as Thor.

"So you met Arthur," says the Light and Darkness sitting on the throne.

"You know Arthur?" asks John looking at the throne ignoring Thor.

"Yes, I fought him before," says the Darkness and Light as slowly red hair grew out of the head before tanned skin revealed itself and an armor covered by dry blood was on that body.

"He and I only fought once and he won against me," says the person sitting on the throne before he looks at Thor and says, "Aren't I right, Arthur."

"I am just a fragment of the real Arthur as you are only a fragment of the real Shura," says Arthur as John was surprised and shocked at the same time.

"But he inherited your powers directly from the source while I could only watch from the sideline until he released the Darkness and Light inside of him," says Shura as he stood up from the throne.

"Well, I shouldn't have expected much from him," says Shura as he stood in front of John.

"But he has the spirit to do things we would have done differently. For example, jumping into his death to save his family," says Shura as he looked at Arthur.

"How many times have we done that?" asks Shura of Arthur with an excited smile on his face.

"I have done that many times," says Arthur as Shura shakes his head.

"You haven't and neither did I, you and I always calculate the risk before jumping in. We always knew that we would survive but he jumped into death not knowing what laid behind it," says Shura as he walked around John before walking back to his throne.

"So I am dead?" asks John confused as they weren't talking clearly.

"You are but at the same time you aren't," says Shura as he looked at John while sitting on his throne.

"Then I have to leave this place and return to help my son," says John when he felt pressure all over his body it was stronger than the pressure Jack or Logan would release from their body.

"You are going nowhere," says Shura using his killing intent to hold John down before he says, "At least for now. Time flows differently here."

"What do you mean?" asks John as Arthur walks towards him.

"You rely too much on the new powers as if people outside have forgotten the strength behind the old powers," says Arthur as he looked at John.

"What do you mean with that?" asks John as Arthur lifts Mjølnir and places it on his chest making John fall to his knees.

"If you were a user of the old powers you would be able to lift the hammer easily," says Arthur as Shura laughed from seeing that.

"I think that neither Logan nor Jack can use the old way, it seems," says Shura a bit disappointed as he looked at John.

"What do you mean with the old way or old powers?" asks John with difficulty when Arthur removed Mjølnir from him.

"Your wife can use the strength of the old way as well as all of your followers. I don't know why the real me didn't teach you before handing them over to you," says Arthus as Shura closed his eyes to think before opening them again.

"If he could surpass the bottleneck I was suffering through we might be able to teach him the old way," says Shura as he looked at Arthur.

"It took you two years to master the old way under Athena and you weren't the brightest back then. He is far more intelligent than the former you that's why the real you gave him 'The Great Army that stood against the Gods'," says Shura as that word brought him some good and bad memories.

"We have five years maybe he can reach the peak that we couldn't achieve because of the limiter from being tainted by the curse of the Deathseeker," says Arthur as he was talking about the Power of the Godking.

"He wasn't tainted yet and going by his memories he and his wife want to overthrow the current Godking. That must be also a reason why he inherited the army if it doesn't ring bells," says Shura hinting at what Arthur did in the past.

"What I had to do what was right for every being in the cycle and he wasn't even a real Godking but an imposter trying to harness the strength that was supposed to be yours," says Arthur as he looked at Shura before looking at John.

"You know, he got lucky that I allowed him to imprison me in the Warriors Realm after we sealed that crazy couple again," says Arthur as Shura stood up from his throne again and hit Arthur on the back of the head.

"If you hadn't borrowed his strength instead of relying on your own strength we could have won the fight," says Shura before Arthur throws Mjølnir after him.

Shura dodges the hammer while Arthur says, "We would have died if I didn't use his powers back then."

Mjølnir returns to Arthur who caught it again before a discussion began between Shura and Arthur about the moment that decided their fate before when John interrupts them.

"Can we forget your pasts for a second and concentrated on my future," says John as both stopped their heated discussion.

"He is right, the past already happened it doesn't help to talk about it. But he has a possibility to make our wrongs right," says Shura as he grabbed John's right shoulder.

"Yes, let's show those bastards what it means to mess the person the real me has chosen as his heir," says Arthur as they begin to infuse John's body with their Qi.

John, not like Nesiara, never learned how to use Qi which meant that the Qi that was being infused inside of him began to make him feel like he was burning from inside out.

"What are you doing to me?" asks John in pain when suddenly he spewed out blood from his mouth.

"We are opening your Qi Veins and Dantian. The Origin of all the new Energy is Qi. You could see all that you have learned as a child compared to what Qi is," says Shura as John's eyes suddenly began to shine brightly as if the light tried to flee his body.

"When we created the Multiverse out of the Primordial Earth I had to seal it completely away because if I didn't the Gods living on the Primordial Earth would have tried to conquer the weaker Universes with their strength," says Shura explaining why Qi was stronger than any other source of energy that was created after the split of the Primordial Earth.

"Why do you think Hades and Poseidon were chained in Shura's Godking Sealing Chains," says Arthur as John saw that Hades and Poseidon were surrounded by chains.

"Jack learned how to use Qi before. But I had to reset him because he rebelled against me and his third life was quite smooth-sailing for him since no one used Qi," says Shura as they continued to develop John's body.

Soon the pain John was feeling subdued as the energy began to circulated naturally before Arthur and Shura removed their hands from John's shoulder.

John collapsed right away and Arthur says, "I think we went a bit too hard on him. I remember that Athena took only a bit of time but that was because I was dead. He is still under the living it would normally take months for what we did in minutes."

"We need to do what we must the old way will save him and his family their lives when the day comes they have to face that crazy couple," says Shura as he looked at his descendant.
