Shiro of course had frowned while looking at Xehanort as he twitched an eyebrow "Che.. and here i was hoping I'd be left alone long enough.. never always get what we want though." of course, he had been checking on Shiroi Senko as the newest key-blade user merely tended to the (KO'ed?) Chocobo before looking back at the person who had caused untold chaos for Sora and the others, not to mention his own fair bit of hell for Shiro "so you've found out about that third keyblade... i was hoping no one would know about it until much later."
Shiroi Senko was currently in a @_@ Oro!?! moment, trying to shake off the sudden shift of being kidnapped along with his partner Shiro.
Centralized Break: Scene Change!
Wolfwood continued blasting with the Fire Bullets, before giving off an annoyed 'tch' from his mouth as he spat out the filter to his Cigarette, before tossing the Cross Punisher into the air and slammed his hands together, before summoning what looked like Black Comets as he punched each one to send them flying into the groups of Bruisers and Buckle Bruisers as well to destroy even more of them before the new player came into play, Wolfwood had continued to fight on the new enemies, frowning a bit lightly "well this is interesting.. wait a moment..." he began looking around, frowning "where the hell is Shiro?"
Axel of course sweatdropped seeing his partner and friend getting angry at the newcomer, and proceeded to stay out of this one, though he had to admit, Vanitas did look a -lot- like Sora. "well this just got intere-- wait what?" he then looked to Wolfwood, and also looked around for either Shiro or his Chocobo companion "where did he go? did he get ahead of us without our knowing? or..."

"Foolish boy," Xehanort admonished Shiro. "That blade summoned from the realm between is but a mere trifle compared to the χ-blade you so willfully destroyed as it was being forged. On their own the three blades you've been given to wield are nothing special. They merely connect you with the realms of light, darkness, and the realm between. However, if you were to bring them together again to reforge the χ-blade, then it might be possible to reshape all the worlds in all the realms!"
*~Disney Castle~*
"Wait Roxas, you shouldn't let him get to you like this!" Sora called after his Nobody, but it was too late.
Vanitas skillfully somersaulted out of Roxas's path before casually rising up to levitate over the battlefield. "I guess your friends must be worried about that guy my master was interested in, but my instructions were to keep you all busy so that they won't be disturbed."
So saying, the Unversed that had been on the battlefield thus far began to disperse as several Trinity Armors and Iron Prisoners took their place.
"I guess that answers what happened to Shiro," Riku frowned. "And I think Roxas might have had the right idea about going after this guy directly. He seems to be the one controlling these other enemies."
"So you finally noticed," Vanitas chuckled darkly as he continued to levitate over the battlefield and brought out his own keyblade, Void Gear. "Although it's a little more personal than just controlling them. Unversed are a physical manifestation of my emotions so you could say that they are very much a part of me."
"I knew these things weren't Heartless!" Sora declared absently, not fully comprehending the situation.
"I think you might be missing the point," noted Riku. "He's saying that he's actually the source of these enemies."
"He called them Unversed," Crystal added. "If they have a name, then this probably isn't the first time they've appeared like this. And if that's the case, then I wonder why none of us were told about them."
"We'll have to look into that later," Riku agreed. "But for now it looks like we've really got our work cut out for us."
Riku decided to take a stab at one of the Iron Prisoners. It retaliated by swinging the cage it carried around like a flaming sledgehammer and would have slammed Riku into a fiery crater if he hadn't teleported out of the way to bludgeon it in the back of the head with his Way to the Dawn.
"Be careful, these things are much stronger than the small fry we've been up against so far," Riku called out to everyone else in warning.
"In that case it's time for some magic support," Crystal concluded in response. With that being said, she immediately tapped into her knowledge of white magic to cast Hastega to temporarily increase everyone's speed on the battlefield and then followed it up by taking the time to cast Regen on them one by one to give them continuous healing so that they wouldn't have to worry as much about taking damage while they concentrated on attacking the boss level enemies. "I'll focus on healing so the rest of you just make sure to take these guys down!"
"Thanks Crystal," Sora called back to her as he went after one of the Trinity Armors that had appeared along with the Iron Prisoners.
"Hey Roxas, we'll let you handle things with the big boss while we pulverize these abominations," Riku added as he finally managed to cut down the Iron Prisoner he had been targeting and then moved on to the next one.

Shiro had narrowed his eyes, and then closed them, letting his mind spread out and take in the information, especially about this X-blade mentioned, frowning lightly "i didn't physically split that blade apart, or even see such a blade.. all i saw was one black and white keyblade duking it out over my body, before they clashed, and created a grey keyblade, when i was trying to stabilize my damned body from what happened to it the last time!"he said, glaring at Xehanort before resuming trying to get Shiroi Senko to snap out of it "meh, if i ever meet the guy who made murphy's law i am going to strangle him."
Shiroi Senko gave off a confused 'kwehhh' while still trying to snap out of things himself. at this point, he's currently useless @_@

"Then perhaps the creation itself was incomplete," Xehanort casually dismissed Shiro's protests. "Nevertheless, you have the potential and that's all that matters. However, as you no doubt intend to defy me, I might be forced to take more direct measures in order to achieve my desire."
Xehanort raised a hand as a crackling ball of darkness gradually took shape and the flickering tendrils began to weave around Shiro digging deep into his heart to latch onto the darkness contained within him. "From what I've been told, even if you survive, this process will be tremendously painful. However, you have left me with no alternative but to strip you of the darkness within your heart to construct a new apprentice."
So saying, the tendrils began siphoning the darkness out of Shiro's heart to shape it into a new vessel.
*~*~*~*~*
Vanitas locked blades with Roxas's Oathkeeper, applying amazing force with one hand while reaching back to retrieve the other boy's Oblivion so as to bring it around to take a swing at Roxas with his own keyblade.
"You have some skill," Vanitas mocked him. "But not good enough."
Crystal frowned. "I think we might have gotten in over our heads here."
"This guy definitely wants to keep us fighting separately," noted Riku. "And that's definitely going to take a toll on our offensive capabilities if it keeps up like this."
He had only just barely taken down another of the Iron Prisoners. And Sora was still struggling against the Trinity Armor he had chosen to go up against by himself. Even with Crystal supplying them with support magic it was all they could do just to remain standing.
"In that case, maybe it's time for me to use a summon to clear the field," Crystal suggested.
"Why not?" Riku replied. "We've tried just about everything else. Just don't overdo it, alright? Shiro will never forgive us if anything happens to you."
Sora finally managed to demolish the Trinity Armor he had been facing off against. "So, does this mean we finally get to see Crystal use one of those crazy awesome summons again?"
"Pretty much," Crystal confirmed. "But I'm only doing this because I don't see any other options available to us at the moment."
She crossed the shafts of her two keyblades before plunging them both into the ground as a shaft of lightning descended onto them from the sky with a blinding flash. Ramuh emerged, drawing all of the electrical power that had been generated into himself before raising his staff to produce thunderclouds all across the battlefield to rain down lightning bolts on all of the boss level Unversed that had been summoned by Vanitas for massive damage, swiftly eliminating several of them with just that one attack. Naturally, the magical lightning storm would last for as long as Ramuh could remain active on the battlefield and that would be for however long Crystal was able to sustain his physical form with her magic.

Wolfwood and Axel both ducked when Ramuh had came in, out of reflex mainly because they were used to not getting blasted. of course, once it was known they weren't going to be targeted, Wolfwood had launched his Cross Punisher into the air, deciding to add into his own little bit to destroying the remaining enemies faster as he slammed his hands together, beginning to gather a rather large amount of raw Darkness energy in hand before gathering it all into one hand, pointing it at the enemies in particular "Void Nexus Flare!" he shouted, unleashing the blast of darkness energy much like a certain beam attack in other worlds (more particularly Barret's Catastrophe.) as Axel chuckled, before turning to look at Vanitas, and attach the Chakrams to his legs, and zoomed around to get a good range, before jumping up and tossing his Chakrams into the air "things are going to get a -BIT- hot under the collar!" he shouted, before sending the chakrams down coated in enough explosive fire energy it was akin to a fiery Volcano falling from the sky aiming right for Vanitas, but also tuning the energy so as to not hurt Roxas either from it.
Centralized Break, Scene Change Hatsudo!
Shiro of course snorted as he glared at Xehanort "let's see.. with all the s**t you've done to me in the past, well, you or your other incarnations, i would have lost all respect in you if you actually thought I'd go along quietly." of course, that would be all he could get out before the tendrils started weaving into him to start ripping at his heart, causing him to immediately grit his teeth and grunt loudly ~least.. he's honest.. GAH! when this is over with I'm going to kick his silver haired darkness wielding a** for this!~ he continued cursing his head off mentally as he grunted and started spasming from the pain, which translated from just around the area of his heart, through his entire body as the darkness was siphoned off and starting to work in creating a new person from that very siphoned darkness, from what Xehanort could tell the darkness was -very- powerful and dense, probably due to all the experiments on him that led to that part of him, not to mention Sephiroth's interference as well in that, all in all, -supposedly- it would do well in creating a new being, truth be told.

Wolfwood had seen the hit, and winced while blocking a few strikes from a couple of leftover enemies, namely the the fact he could feel the flames licking him from over where he's at. "ohhh boy..." he said, before whirling around, suddenly summoning a basic Kingdom Key keyblade, though it seemed to be jet black in color all over, with the key-chain and bauble being red in color, as he launched out to continue fighting the Unversed as he frowned "Axel! don't you dare go overboard!"
Axel just went wide-eyed seeing the strength in how Vanitas tossed around his pal Roxas like a rag doll, and gritted his teeth, before gathering flames all about him and started entering a berserker style phase, before gripping the Chakrams and throwing them with precision, speed, and a -lot- of strength (enough to match Roxas under Dual Wield mode.) behind them "get ready to FEEL THE BURN! got it Memorized!?!" he shouted inbetween his furious pace of attacking. of course, the way he was inflamed almost made him look like the Beast of Fires himself, Ifrit, but Wolfwood wasn't gonna mention anything.
Centralized Break, Scene Change hatsudo!
Shiro of course continued to twitch and spasm from the pain, normally when pulling out enough darkness that it could even make Sephiroth whistle, there -had- to be nothing left, granted, Shiro still was alive, if only on his tethers as it was as the orb began being shaped, coalescing into a dark navy blue haired individual, wearing black military boots, a simple black pair of jeans, and a crimson t-shirt underneath what looked like segmented armor that covered the chest and right arm, ending in vicious looking claws, as the amber eyes snapped open, and he looked about lightly "Hmmh.. where am i...?" he mumbled, looking around to assess the situation calmly as shiro collapsed on his back, gripping his chest while clenching his eyes shut ~Gah! so... painful! this is almost as bad if not worse than the wracking pains i had with the darkness in me!~, but he still clung hard to both life and consciousness, being one stubborn mule in this case.

Riku continued to clash blades with Vanitas, waiting until the very last second to teleport out of range once Axel went on his fiery rampage. He even felt some of the heat wash over him even as he rematerialized standing safely beside Sora.
"Man, Axel is really going all out on this guy," he remarked with an obvious hint of concern.
"Yeah," Sora agreed. "I just hope he doesn't burn himself out by doing this."
With the Trinity Armors and Iron Prisoners finally eliminated, Crystal dismissed Ramuh from the battlefield so that the electrical storm abruptly came to an end. Once that was taken care, of she picked up her Sekainokiretsu and Jikannohizumi keyblades. She could sense that Shiro was in some kind of trouble, but without knowing where he was there was no way she would be able to help him now.
He's just going to have to figure out some way to help himself, she thought as she braced herself. However, she could still do something to help Axel against Vanitas.
"Axel, hurry up and get your a** out of there! I've got an idea!" she called out to him as three separate summoning arrays began to manifest themselves across huge sections of the sky. Once each array became fully manifested they began to split open like giant cosmic doorways to reveal the three forms of Bahamut she normally kept in reserve. The imposing figures of Bahamut, Neo Bahamut and Bahamut ZERO eventually filled the sky before all three incarnations of the Dragon King ascended high into the stratosphere to gather enormous quantities of non-elemental destructive energy between their collective jaws. As soon as the blasts were fully charged, Bahamut let off a massive Mega Flare accompanied by the even more massive blast of Neo Bahamut's Giga Flare and the even more enormous blast of Bahamut ZERO's Tera Flare. The three blasts collided to form the point of an inverted energy pyramid as the raw destructive energy from all three dragons became combined into a single attack. For now, we'll just call it Delta Flare. Yeah, that sounds about right.
The combination blast descended upon Vanitas with all the fury of the three incarnations of Bahamut that had brought it into existence. Hopefully Axel had been paying attention to the rather extensive light show to get his sorry a** out of there before the fireworks struck home.
*~*~*~*~*
"The realm of darkness," Xehanort answered Roveth with a twisted smile. "I have given you new life by severing you from your feeble vessel."

Roveth just turned to look at Xehanort, with giving a mild glance to Shiro as he tried to fight off stubbornly his pain and nearly having his heart blown to -dust- by that method Xehanort used. "i see.. so... do you have a name i can put to that face?" he asked in a calm tone, though he looked nonplussed ,inside he was already teeming with raw unbridled emotions. despite what Xehanort might think, there still was a connection between the two of them, and even though it might not be discovered until later, but there is a reason why this... darkness, was so solid and dense, and why Xehanort was a fool to even -touch- it.
Centralized Break, Scene change Hatsudo!
Axel had heard the call from Crystal to get out of there, but he wasn't done just yet, in fact, he let out an angry cry, and proceeded to grip both his Chakrams while lacing his foot with fire energy, he then proceeded to spin around using the Chakrams as counter-balance and to slash Vanitas a few more times before slamming said -hot foot- into the chin, and knock said person up into the incoming attack, before casually sinking into the ground via a Corridor of darkness "i hope you like your defeat extra crispy, because that's what you'll be. Got it Memorized?" as he disappeared, and the door closed faster than anyone could get to it, leaving things be.
Wolfwood, naturally made himself scarce when he saw the arrays, knowing anything dealing with large flashiness in arrays had to be something big. he actually joined up with Axel on the Corridors of Darkness, and oddly enough, began a break-dancing routine with the flame wielder, with Soldiers and Dusks all joining in on the mix.

![[XIII] Roxas's avatar](https://a1cdn.gaiaonline.com/dress-up/avatar/ava/9d/0b/11026f93a0b9d_flip.png?t=1517947908_6.00_10)
Roxas had been in the process of helping out Sora to vaporize the defensively inclined Buckle Bruisers by spamming his own Thundaga spells when Vanitas emerged and began to mock everyone while paying particular attention to taunting him. He didn't know who this guy was or what the hell he was talking about, but listening to those barbs still stung and Roxas made no attempt to mask his annoyance with the suspicious new arrival. After all, he really hated being told that he might be someone other than himself.
