Nesiara released the barrier around John as she rushed over to his side while Donald and Goofy were looking after their King.
"Is he alright?" asks Kairi worried because she remembered what John said before about sacrificing something.
"He is just unconscious. He should be back before we arrive at our destination," says Nesiara calming them down.
Mickey soon woke up from the headache he was feeling as Riku asks, "Are you alright?"
"Yes, I was just surprised by everything," says Mickey as he was holding his head remembering again what happened.
He needed to inform Master Yen Sid about this as it could bring fortune or demise to them. John opened slowly his eyes as he saw the face of his wife before he caresses her cheek.
"What happened? I only remember talking to my swords before Judgement and the Kings began to perform some ritual," says John as he was holding his head.
"You even turned back from your God-state into your Original-self," says Nesiara as Kairi seemed worried going by her expression when John stands up with the help of Nesiara.
"Don't worry, Kairi. I am hard to kill," says John with a smile before he moves his lips again but no words came out but suddenly a tear runs down Kairi's cheek not knowing why.
He pets her head before Nesiara helps him sit down when they all go back to their seat and begin to travel again.
In the meantime inside Justice, Logan and Jack were watching everything when Jack says, "I didn't expect that."
"Nor did I or anyone else. Something must have happened in the time we weren't watching," says Logan as he turned around to find Kara and Abigail glaring at their backs.
"He is as stubborn as his grandfather," says Kara as her finger felt like it could penetrate through Jack's skin while Logan only felt shivers from seeing Abigail this mad.
The last time she decorated his body with a scar. She was holding a scythe in her hands while approaching him.
"And he seemed to have the self-sacrificial attitude of another person I know too well," says Abigail as she swings her scythe and stops its edge exactly before touching Logan's neck.
"It almost seems that everyone is scheming something against them while they are trying to sail in the storm of the schemes to survive it. Their situation is vastly different than the one we had to go through," says Abigail as she was angry that her husband would do that.
"It is vastly different because they are the real deal," says Logan defending why he is going to such length.
"They are forging their own path and even defy us Godkings by doing so instead of going the path we have prepared for them," says Logan as he moved the scythe away from his neck.
"But if we talk about them what about Nesiara. She inherited your temper that just goes loose all of a sudden," says Logan as Jack could only nod to that while he grabbed the wrist of his wife and turns her around.
"And somehow she got your caring nature isn't that bizarre," says Jack to Kara as they looked at their wives.
"What can we say we are your better halves after all," says Kara as she was freed herself from Jack and her eyes began to radiate red.
She was ready to attack Jack when she says, "If he dies we will find a way to get our revenge."
Both then disappear from there leaving the two speechless for a moment when Logan asks, "Do you think Lorena was the same while we were still mortals?"
"Most likely or she wouldn't have appeared to help me and Kara when we went to get the Soul Stone," says Jack as they turned towards the couple again.
"Still we gave them the option of saving their son by using the Bahamuts and they still choose another path," says Logan as he was holding his chin.
"Well, we can't change that since they are still suffering from what happened to Bran on Middle-Earth even if you revived him afterward," says Jack as they mourned for a while before he told them that Bran was still alive.
This changed them as they would make sure that if someone needed to do sacrifices it would be them and not their children.
"I will keep a closer eye on John for now," says Logan as he walked towards his throne and sat down.
"Well, I should leave for now," says Jack as he leaves his brother's realm.
In the meantime, the Highwind arrived at the Mysterious Tower. The group was standing in front of the Tower as Kairi and Grace seemed to be amazed by the Tower since she didn't visit many worlds except for the few they traveled together before.
"It seems you two are enjoying yourselves," says Nesiara to the two as the gate to the Tower opens and they enter it.
They walk the stairs up until arriving at a room that seemed to look like an office finding an old man sitting in his chair behind his desk with his eyes closed as the group was slowly forming a line in front of his desk.
"You brought me four instead of three Wielder, Mickey," says Yen Sid as he opens his eyes.
"Don't count me as a Keyblade Wielder. I might not have absolved the Mark of Mastery Exam but I could defeat anyone in this room except for one person," says John as he didn't see himself as a Keyblade Wielder.
"I can feel the strength coming from you and I can say that you aren't playing yourself up but the Mark of Mastery Exam still needs to be taken to become a Master," says Yen Sid when Alfred appears behind him.
"He passed his Mark of Mastery Exam with flying colors. He just needs some more training in a matter that can't wait," says Alfred as he looked at John.
Yen Sid didn't say anything because Alfred appeared out of nowhere without him noticing making it clear that he was on a different level than anyone in the room.
"Did you know that I am the person who taught your grandfather, Jack? I was the one to teach your son, Leon, as well. And now it is your turn," says Alfred as he grabbed John's arm as well as Nesiara's before they disappeared.
They appeared in a jungle and Alfred let go of them when he says, "You will be spending one outside day in here with me learning things that Jack couldn't teach you."
"How long will it be two years like in our Time Chamber?" asks John as Alfred smiles seeing that John caught on rapidly about their situation.
"No, it will be 25 years. This place was created by Shura, the father of Logan and Jack. It is the place in which he kept his exotic animals such as the two Clans you made a contract with," says Alfred when suddenly a Giant Black Eagle with burning wings landed behind them.
This surprised Alfred as he recognized the Eagle and says mocking her, "Are you missing your former master, Shadow?"
Shadow ignored Alfred as she looked at John intensely. He gave off the same aura her master used to give off in the latter stages of his lives. She wasn't the only one it seemed as a giant nightblue horse came out of the forest.
"Thunder is here too. This is strange," says Alfred as Thunder looked at Shadow before looking at John.
He rushed at John who was confused about what was going on when suddenly his body moved on his own his right arm suddenly seemed to embrace Thunder's neck while his feet left the ground mounting Thunder in one motion which surprised John as it did the other two.
John was on Thunder's back who stopped before Shadow opened her wings and slowly became smaller and flew towards John and landed on his shoulder when Alfred suddenly saw Arthur holding a spear in his hand while petting Shadow's throat instead of John mounted on Thunder.
"Alfred, are you alright?" asks Nesiara seeing Alfred out of it for a moment.
"Yes, sorry, I thought I saw someone that I despise to the core," says Alfred as he couldn't stand Arthur for what he did to Shura.
"It seems they like you. Something rare if you were to ask me," says Alfred those two had chosen to live here instead of joining Arthus.
Suddenly it hits him and he couldn't believe what his former master might have done since he wasn't the first to do such a thing.
Alfred suddenly turned red as both John and Nesiara looked at him confused while John asks the same question as Nesiara before, "Are you alright, Alfred?"
"Yes," says Alfred as he couldn't believe that Shura had his own plans from the very beginning.
Alfred looked at Nesiara for a short while as his eyes turned crimson for a moment only for him to take a step back because of what he saw inside of Nesiara.
"You two don't even know what those two are carrying in their souls since their existence," says Alfred to himself as the couple looked confused at them while Shadow attacked him for revealing something that was planned for a long time.
"I will keep this secret," says Alfred as he uses his arm to block Shadow's claws from harming him.
"What have you seen that made you retreat?" asks Nesiara as Alfred looked seriously before looking at Shadow.
"That is a secret you will sooner or later find out but before that," says Alfred as he suddenly was holding a black walking cane with a golden handle.
He pulled out the hidden blade and cut John making some blood drop on Thunder while his sword was pointed at Shadow who accepted the blood when Alfred says, "I should have seen it coming the moment he was chosen by the White Tiger and she by the Phoenix."
Both animals began to shine for a moment before they stopped and Shadow returned to John's side while two marks appeared on John's chest.
One was and an eagle who was attacking while the other was a horse standing on two legs. John's wound closed itself again as Shadow and Thunder suddenly entered John's body out of nowhere into the marks representing them.
"That is new," says John as he felt warm when Alfred sheathed his blade again.
"Now to begin your training. You will begin with this," says Alfred as his fist turned black resembling Leon's technique that he used to grab Nesiara out of her Wraith Form.
"Isn't that what Leon used against me," says Nesiara as Alfred nods.
"Yes, not everyone in the Wyrm family learned this since the only two members that learned this was Logan and Michael. It is called Haki or Willpower if we say it in normal words," says Alfred as suddenly everything turned gray for Nesiara and John before the color returned.
"What was that?" asks John as Alfred smiled.
"That was the Conqueror Haki. It is one of the three forms Haki can use i-," says Alfred when he gets interrupted by a cloud of smoke that appeared out of nowhere.
The smoke soon dissolved and Lea was sitting on the ground holding his head while his palm had a cut in it. John and Nesiara see Lea and thought that he was a poor guy for choosing this moment to use the seal.
"Have I arrived at my destination?" asks Lea himself as he looked around and finds John and Nesiara as well as Alfred looking at him.
"It seems you will be joined by another person," says Alfred as he wanted to grab this opportunity.
"Wait what is going on here?" asks Lea as he looked around confused when John helps him up.
"You will be trained right here right now," says John as he explained to Lea where they were before Alfred continues explaining Haki to them.
It was quite easy to get a hold of the basics for John and Nesiara while Lea was struggling before John took the lead since it reminded him a lot of his Force Training.
The training of Haki took them two years in which they mastered when Alfred told them to survive for the next twenty-three years only using Haki except they are training Lea who was trained by Nesiara while John was adapting to Sinner and Saint.
They were longer than their former version but not long enough to be called a two-handed sword. They fit well in his hands when he fuses them together forming the Saviour which could qualify as a two-handed sword that can be swung by one hand.
John was swinging it before whispers, "Bankai."
The sword began to surround him with the Grey Energy as his clothes changed from blue to grey and he felt like he was a feather in the wind when he disappeared from where he was and appeared after a second again.
"What are you doing, John?" asks Nesiara when suddenly a strong wind came up which made her hair float in the air for a short moment.
"I just run until reaching the starting point," says John as he couldn't believe that he broke the speed of light.
He then looks at Nesiara and says, "Attack me with everything you have."
"Really with everything?" asks Nesiara as Omega appeared in her hand while Lea was meditating at the moment.
"Yes," says John as he was serious.
He wanted to know what the limits of Saviour's Bankai were as Nesiara turned into the Crimson Empress and Omega into her flaming spear with which she strikes at John who didn't even block her attack standing there when the spear suddenly stopped in front of John.
"Why can't I touch you!" shouts Nesiara as she puts even more force into it but nothing happened when John felt that the Bankai was about to run out.
"Alright, you can stop my Bankai is running out of time," says John as Nesiara didn't listen.
She put even more strength into her attack as she didn't want to lose in a match of strength against John.
John only sighs as he suddenly moves Saviour towards the flaming tip and pushes the spear tip away from his body towards the ground in front of him which made Nesiara now fly forward while her Crimson Empress dissolved before she recovered midair and landed on her feet.
"Why didn't you stop when I asked you?" asks John as Nesiara looked at him seriously.
"Fine, you win for now in the strength department but I will get that title back in no time," says Nesiara as John now knew why his wife didn't want to stop.
"You know that you are still stronger than me if you were to use your Sunbreaker," says John as his Bankai ran out and he returned to his normal state and he spewed some blood out which he was holding in.
"It seems that I found out four abilities that Saviour's Bankai," says John as it multiplied his speed, strength, and endurance while creating Keyblades around him to protect him which are invisible to everyone until he reveals them.
Lea was that deep in meditation that he didn't even notice the area around him was burning down before it magically regrew as if it never happened. Nesiara picked up Omega when John separated Saviour again.
"It is quite tasking to use Saviour with powering myself up," says John as Saviour is like a Limit Breaker once John enters its Bankai.
"Then maybe you should try it while having the Sage of the Six Path activated. It should help you or use your voodoo skills where you grab your enemy through the air before you choke them to death," says Nesiara as Lea suddenly stopped his meditation when he heard that.
"Wait a second, you are telling me that he can choke people from the distance like the old man I wanted to warn you about," says Lea as the couple turned to him.
The two years took a toll on Lea who was decorating his face with a beard while his body had some changes because of the training.
John was decorating his face with a long beard which he cut every month while Nesiara was keeping her hair in check with her staff that was serving as a hairpin.
"Yes, it is quite easy to use if you have it in your blood like this," says John as he lifts Axel from the ground making him stand in the air before putting him down.
"But you should concentrate on what you have learned for now. We are still stuck for another twenty-two and a half years in this jungle," says Nesiara telling Lea to concentrate on the basics he learned from her.
Lea could put his body completely in flames and wouldn't suffer from it as well as create a smaller version of Nesiara's Crimson Queen which would exhaust him.
They stayed caged in the jungle for the rest of the time as Lea learned how to swing a sword from John since he would become a Keyblade Wielder while learning how to take hits as Kairi learned from them.
Lea was literally suffering all those years while being motivated by the couple since at the end of the path he would be able to bring his friends back and protect them from themselves.
In the meantime in the Nothingness, Alfred was standing in front of Kara, Abigail, and Mia. Alfred looked at them seriously making Kara and Abigail understand that he found out.
"You two are the only two that could possibly pull this off," says Alfred as they looked at him.
"We did but it wasn't our scheme. It was Lorena who gave Kara a piece of Shura's and Arthur's soul to plant it into one of Jack's descendants which turned out to be John. That's why he was born without powers," says Abigail after she erected a barrier that would block the sound so unwanted ears couldn't listen to their conversation.
"What about Nesiara?" asks Alfred when Mia stood up and was ready to hold her husband accountable for whatever he was going to do next.
"Lorena took a piece of her soul as well as from Jeanne D'Arc and Arthur's first wife, Diao Chan. They were given to me to implant them into one of Logan's descendants," says Abigail as she walked towards what seemed the balcony with Kara and Mia.
"I was quite surprised that it never was discovered even more so when Nesiara was chosen as the next candidate to become Godqueen," says Abigail as she summoned the table from inside as well as the chairs and everything on it to the balcony.
They sit down again when Kara says, "This scheme was made by Lorena who knew that something was off the whole time."
"What do you mean?" asks Alfred when Kara sighs.
"Normally Death is the Beginning and the End of every life. You can't live without dying and you can't die without living. But what happens when someone does?" asks Kara as Alfred was clueless since it wasn't his expertise.
"They get sucked into the Nothingness where normally they get judged by me to define if they are worthy of returning to live a new life in another world without memories. But that doesn't happen they just stay in the Nothingness and they feed something before the new cycle starts and they live the same life again without knowing it," says Abigail as she looked at Alfred.
"The thing that is being fed by those souls is a seal that is similar to the Seals of the Judgment Day or the Apocalypse. I tried to look in and I only saw two blurry figures in it. They can't leave the room they are sealed in but they can still influence the outside world with their powers," says Kara as she used her eyes to find out what was inside the room.
"They must be-," says Alfred as Kara and Abigail nod.
"They must be the Man of all Contracts and the Woman of all Restrictions. They are sealed under the castle while all the souls get consumed by the seal which means that to break this cycle we need to break the seal and kill them," says Kara when Abigail looks at the black sky of the Nothingness.
"But for that to happen a certain condition needs to be fulfilled," says Abigail as she looked at Kara who said something which only Alfred could hear who opened his eyes wide in shock.
"That can't be!" shouts Alfred angry as Kara smiled sadly.
"It is," says Kara as she felt sad about what was going to happen sooner or later.
"We all need to prepare for that day and when that day arrives we all will pay with our blood on the intent of breaking the cycle once and for all," says Abigail seriously as she looked at her watch and continues, "It should be time to get them out of there."
"And no word to the two bulls or Mia will find a way to punish you," says Kara as Mia just moved her index and middle fingers mimicking a scissor.
"I will leave for now," says Alfred as he leaves the Nothingness to get the couple with their +1 while Abigail released the barrier before they resumed their tea party.
