Twisted Hearts

Chapter 11: How to Return Home

(This is where things start to end. This was only a matter of time. As much as I love both series, I can see a conflict breaking out. How would they react if Sora ever showed up here? Also, I do not imagine them getting too easily at first. Later on, yes. Enjoy!)

           "I do hope they are fairing well" Even confessed as he was staring at the computer screen that tracked the keyblade wielders and their friends.

"I am surprised to hear you care about them" Dilan replied as Aeleus shook his head.

"To tell the truth, I care for Ienzo" Even answered flatly, "But I do hold some care for the rest as well. They were the ones who saved the worlds, I suppose"

Aeleus smirked while Dilan remained quiet. Even finally breathed at a normal pace as he saw eight gateways open in the square of Radiant Garden. Another screen appeared as Even mentally counted to check if everyone did return from their adventure.

"So, I am picking up some powerful darkness from the square. Can I safely assume that is your doing and nothing out of the ordinary like last time?" Cid, a mechanic who aided Sora and Cloud, asked as he scratched his head, "Would rather not have to bring Cloud in. He's been busy lately"

"Must you continue to blame us for our world falling to darkness and nearly breaking apart?! We were also manipulated by Xehanort as well!" Even replied in a defensive manner before composing himself, "And besides, the keyblade wielders are present. They are tasked with watching over them if anything were to occur. Now, they will make their way to the castle. From there, we will find a way to send those students to their respective world"

He waved his hand to close his screen with Cid before turning to Dilan and Aeleus.

"What are you standing here for?! Go outside and ensure the castle is properly protected and on guard when they arrive!" Even ordered seriously as both knights shared a deadpanned expression to then leaving.

Even rolled his eyes at them as he returned to the screen and noticed a flashing icon in the corner of the screen. He typed away and found a link to Isa as he wondered what the claymore wielder was attempting to do.

"It is so bright!", "This place is real?!", "I cannot believe other worlds truly exist", and other questions were shouted as everyone arrived at the center of the world. The keyblade wielders shared a greeting as the Night Raven College students were relieved to see each other again. They happily greeted each other and were exhausted from their fights and travels.

"So, what do we do now?" Yuu asked as she whispered to Sora who was putting the star shard away.

"Well, it looks like introductions are out of the way" Sora said as he put his hands behind his head, "So, we should get back to finding a way home for you and the others soon"

Grim climbed on Yuu's head to take a look at everyone who was here and grinned when he saw Ace, Deuce, Jack, Najma, Epel, Ortho, and Sebek rushing towards them.

"You're ok!" Deuce shouted in relief as Ace shook his head, "I am so relieved. You may know how to throw a good punch, but you've got no magic to help you!"

"I have a feeling they were able to handle themselves better than you did, Ace" Jack commented as Najma laughed, "Yeah! She's a tough lady while you're a student who cannot seem to comprehend Professor Crewel's potions!"

Ace was offended with Ortho pulling up a screen that displayed their current grades to them.

"Actually, Ace is performing very well in his class. As for Deuce, he needs some work" Ortho concluded from the data he received.

It was Deuce's turn to be offended as Sebek let out a thundering laugh of his own, "Ha, ha! None of you can compare to me! I have one of the top grades in that class! All of you should study hard to even hold a candle to me!"
