Ryder's little brother Conner has been kidnapped by a mysterious and dangerous villain who wants to plague the world with evil and negative emotions. Ryder is taking an important exam that makes him a Keyblade master in the Land of Departure with the teaching of Madam Piecese!
************************************************
"So who's this Madam Piecese's person again?" *Ryder follows behind Kiki and Levi as they make their way up to the castle* "She's the greatest Keyblade wielder in the entire world..besides Sora" *Kiki looks back at Ryder* "And she's the first woman to master a Keyblade in under a week!" *Kiki gets a bit excited as she rushed upstairs* "Yeah she's pretty cool and all but I don't need Keyblade" *Levi smirks as he spawns his Kusarigama with two sickles on each end of the chain* "I got these!" *Levi grins* "Woah! That's sick!" *Ryder laughs a bit as he looks at the weapons* "Wait..What about that Keyblade you used back in Star Stuck City?" *Ryder looks confused for a second* "Oh that? It came with the keyblade armor I don't like using it cause of how hefty it is...it's like carrying a barbell" *Levi rubs the back of his head* "YOU DISRESPECTFUL LITTLE!" *Before Kiki could go off on Levi a tall slender and curvy woman wearing a Kimono walks out of the castle*

"Who the heck are you guys?" *The tall slender woman has an Aries Zodiac symbol on the sleeve of her Kimono* "HUH!?" *Kiki says in shock as Levi has a confused face* "WH-WHERE- WHO ARE YOU!?" *Kiki points at the woman in the Kimono* "I'm the new Zodiac Heart..Madam Aries" *She points at herself with her thumb* "So whaddya want you already passed your Keyblade exam.." *Aries looks over at Kiki and Levi and she spots Ryder* "Who's the squirt?" *Aries points at Ryder* "OH! This is...uhh..What's your name?" *Kiki looks at Ryder* "Names Ryder!" *Ryder points at himself with his thumb with a determined smile* "Lemme guess you wanna take your exam?" *Aries rolls her eyes* "Yeah! So I can save my brother" *Ryder steps forward* "He was captured by Xamaris.." *Kiki looks down in shame and Aries makes a shocked expression* "Tch..I thought you guys had a hold of him! Did you at least get Sora?" *Aries says almost ticked off*

"He's standing right here" *Levi points at Ryder as he leans against a pillar* "He showed up on our radar so we picked him up" *Levi shrugged as he looked down resting his eyes* "Hmph...Very well then.." *Aries looks at Ryder with a smirk* "You two stay here... C'mon kid it's time for your exam" *Aries motions Ryder to follow her inside* "GOOD LUCK RYDER!" *Kiki shouts as Levi gives Ryder the peace sign* "Good luck man" *Ryder walks into the castle and he looks around seeing portraits of the past Keyblade masters* "Hm.." *Ryder stops as Aries sits in her chair* "Tell me Ryder...Do you even know what a Keyblade is?" *Aries eyeballs Ryder up and down* "I'm guessing it's a giant Key?" *Ryder says confused* "Hm...Well, that's no good...Here!" *Aries tosses Ryder a fake Keyblade made from wood* "That's your Keyblade for the time being.." *Aries smirks as she looks at Ryder* "Alright I guess. What do I do with it?" *Ryder looks at his Keyblade*

"You will fight the Darkness with it. This is the first part of your exam fight these orbs" *Aries snaps and 3 light orbs spawn around Ryder* "Hmph!" *Ryder looks at the small orb and swings his wooden blade but it dodges* "Tch!" *Ryder grips the Keyblade and dashes toward the Light orbs and destroys them one by one* "ALRIGHT! I'm getting the hang of this!" *Ryder smiles a bit* "Hmph..Good now for the second part" *Aries snaps and 7 more light orbs spawn around Ryder* "Come at me!" *Ryder jumps around slashing the light orbs but they attack back knocking Ryder off his feet but he gets up stronger to destroy them* "HAH!" *Ryder laughs a bit as he spins his Keyblade around and catches it* "Give me more of a challenge!" *Ryder has a cocky smirk* "Hmph..alright Kid this is your last test which determined if you get your mark or not" *Aries snaps and Levi walks in swinging his Kusarigama* "H-HUH!?" *Ryder has a shocked expression on his face* "Ya ready kiddo? Nobody said this was gonna be a walk in the park" *Levi grins as he gets in a fighting stance* "BEGIN!" *Aries snaps and Levi dashes toward Ryder but he blocks his upcoming kick* "TAKE THIS!" *Levi swings his sickle and Ryder dodges it but another blade comes it and knocks him off his feet*

"GAH!" *Ryder falls and he slowly gets up* "I can't lose!" *Ryder gets up and dashes and jumps toward Levi and because of his determination Ryder's wooden Keyblade turns into an actual one and Levi jumps out of the way* "You did it kid" *Levi smirks as he points at Ryder's Keyblade* "Huh?...WOAH!" *Ryder has a big smile on his face as he spins his Keyblade around and catches it* "ALRIGHT!" *Ryder jumps for joy as Aries watches with a smile* "You have passed the Exam..Congratulations!" *Aries has a slight smile* "HAHA! ALRIGHT!" *Ryder goes over and gives Levi a fist bump* "RYDER YOU DID IT!" *Kiki walks in and hugs him tightly* "Now we can stop Xamaris!" *Kiki says excitedly and Aries shoots up with a shocked expression* "Xamaris?... You think you guys can defeat him?" *Aries looks at the trio with suspicion* "Yeah..now that we have the Keyblade! He can seal the Realm of Darkness! And Defeat Xamaris for good!" *Kiki tries to earn Aries's trust..and it works* "Very well then...but you do realize that everyone in the world Is counting on you..right?" *Aries leans forward in her chair raising an eyebrow* "Yeah.." *Ryder looks at his Keyblade* "And if you fail..you'll let the whole world fall into darkness" *Aries looks at the trio*

"That's why we can't let it happen..and I won't allow it with my Keyblade! I will defeat Xamaris and save my little brother!" *Ryder steps up and says this in a determined tone making sure he is heard* "You're determined..I love it..then I put my trust into you..don't let us fall into the Darkness" *Aries gets up and walks over to Ryder and looks down on him because of her height* "I promise I won't let you down!" *Ryder holds out his pinky and Aries holds out hers and they make a pinky swear to seal their promise* "Now...go!" *Aries points out and Ryder runs out of the castle* "Take care of him please.." *Aries walks back to her throne as Kiki and Axel walkout* "What do you want?" *Aries looks back as she spots a man wearing a black Organization XIII cloak with a heartless symbol on the back* "You cheated..were only supposed to have one pupil isn't that what agreed on?" *Xamaris speaks in a sly and deep tone* "And you're the one to talk about cheating?" *Aries keeps her cool as she glares at Xamaris as he sits down on a throne next to her with his feet up over the arms of the chair*

"Hehe since you have more than 1 I might have to cheat along with you" *Xamaris smirks under his cloak* "I don't care how many people you have..he will stop you!" *Aries clenched her fist as she glared at Xamaris* "Ooo feisty as always! I miss us y'know?" *Xamaris uses his finger to make Aries look at him but Aries snatches her head back and she stands up* "SHUT UP! We were young and stupid! Plus you were so deep into the darkness we hardly even talked!.. NOW GET OUT OF MY CASTLE!" *Aries spawns a large Keyblade that has a blade that looks like fire, the guard and handle being normal, and the keychain has the Aries symbol on it and attempts to attack Xamaris but he disappears* "Ugh...this is why you don't date badass men" *Aries sighs as she puts her Keyblade away*

Hours Later - Kiki and Levi's house

"So what does this thing even do?" *Ryder looks at the Keyblade analyzing every detail* "Well they can change forms depending on the world!" *Kiki smiles as she rests on the couch looking at Ryder* "It's also super cool but the Heartless are attracted to it so be alert at all times" *Levi says as he eats sea salt ice cream* "Hey Levi..Sooner or later can we have an actual battle?" *Ryder has a determined smirk on his face* "Heh sure" *Levi looks at Ryder with a girn and Kiki laughs but her Gummi Phone rings* "The alarm.." *Levi hops over the kitchen counter straight to Kiki* "XAMARIS! He was just here! Now he's at Olympus!" *Kiki says in shock as she gets up and grabs two small golden and quartz white Keyblades with small fairy wings and a crystal on the guard, and a small wizard orb at the end of them*

"Alright, we gotta head to Olympus to stop him!" *Kiki rushes as she puts the Keyblades in a holster on her hips, she taps her shoulder, and as her armor comes on her she grows small wings* "Ready kid?" *Levi rides on his Motorcycle* "YEAH!" *Ryder hops on the back of Levi's back and they ride off into hyperspace*
