Main Event Genesis

[Capri]

"I don't think anyone here knows what's going on... but I think this has nothing to do with some Soul Society or whatever you just said, miss. I'm also afraid that I can't offer you a ribbon... despite the fact that you look well enough that you wouldn't need an accessory like that..."

"Awww, are you kidding me!?" Senna exclaimed, letting out a groan. It sounded like she was upset about not knowing where she was, but everyone around her would realize that wasn't the case when the teen would bring up her hair again. "What am I going to do if I can't find something to tie my hair back with? I know I look cute with my hair down," she said, somewhat acknowledging Blake's compliment. "But it's not practical! It gets in my face. I really need something to tie it back. Preferably a cute ribbon."

The girl raised her hand in the air, waving it around to hopefully get someone's attention. "Excuse me! Does anyone here have a ribbon or a hair tie I could use!?" It was a somewhat awkwardly timed question, especially after Alice had let out her own exclamation, wondering why they couldn't go home. Senna, on the other hand, was more worried about something far less important.​

 

[Capri]

Her reaction a bit delayed, Miku craned her head to look over at the source of the commotion. "Why aren't we going home?!" The exclamation took a few seconds for it to sink in for the young android. It just didn't make sense at all. She had to be going home. There was no way Crypton could be decommissioning her; she still had work to do back home. There was no way she was just going to be replaced on a whim.

"You've got to be kidding..." The reaction might have been both pointed at Alice's exclamation and Senna's insistence for a hair tie. It was a bit hard to tell. "That's got to be some kind of... lie."​

 

[Capri]

Shirou simply let out another puff of smoke as Riesbyfe staggered off towards some pretty boy.

"Man, she looked pretty angry, huh?"

It was likely nobody was listening to him, but he didn't mind. Whatever incomprehensible thing she had suddenly gotten all serious about, some other brutish-looking chick had appeared to do the same. It looked like things were seriously beginning to light up here. Tons of people, or rather about seven or so, gathered around what looked like a fight in the making. Though with that many people around, Shirou seriously doubted they'd actually get to do any fighting. The peacekeepers outnumbered the fighters, after all. It was probably just gonna be something boringly predictable in that case, so Shirou shifted his attention away from the conflict.

"Excuse me! Does anyone here have a ribbon or a hair tie I could use!?"

"Huh?"

Then, he saw some girl waving her hand around in the air, like a schoolgirl trying to ask the teacher a question or something. But if he was honest, what she was shouting caught his attention much more. Sure, some other girl had been yelling real loud about going home, but he'd expected that. But was this girl so desperate for a hair tie that was what she first thought of needing?

He made his way over to the girl, looking relaxed with his hands in his pockets.

"You're an interesting kid. Hair gettin' in your eyes, or something?"​

 

[Capri]

"You're an interesting kid. Hair gettin' in your eyes, or something?"

"Kid?" Senna questioned when the new guy would approach her. "Oh no, I'm Senna," she told him, saying it so that those around could hear it too. "My hair does fall in my face, but more importantly it doesn't look as good when it's not tied up. That's a problem," she said with a frown, gently running a hand through her amethyst-colored hair. Unlike the others, she didn't seem to care that she was trapped and couldn't get home. "You wouldn't happen to have something I could use, would you mister?" she questioned him. "This dummy I know lost my red ribbon..."​

 

[Capri]

"I'm Nashetania. Nice to meet you."

"I am Azura, pleased to meet you Nashetania. Though I wish the circumstances were different," she sighed. She was already growing tired of this box they were in, but what else was there to do about it? Breaking it was out of the question and their captors were probably content to leave them in there for some time. She was sure she heard someone singing at some point, but at the time may have been a bit too caught up in her thoughts to really take notice.​

 

[Capri]

"Well, that's one way to tell you've won the crowd over."

The swordsman certainly seemed rather pleased with himself, casually smiling as he stepped aside for better faces like Lucio and Clark to take the lead. Both of them, along with the rabbit and Azura, received a nod of thanks from Joshua as he stood back for now. He would wait and see how Road reacted before he moved to intervene again.

Instead, his focus was on Azura's song, gently humming the notes as she sang. He wasn't exactly sure why, but for some reason, there was a quite calming undertone to it, one that he hoped would calm the nerves of killers and schoolyard children alike.

"Quite the lovely voice you have there, Azura."

"You wouldn't happen to have something I could use, would you mister?"

"I've got something you can use, miss."

With the others facing Road, Joshua was able to focus elsewhere, specifically on the purple-haired girl asking for a ribbon. Walking over, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a ribbon of the same shade as his hat, smiling the whole time.

"Used to use it for my hair, but I've gotten used to fighting with it down, so I don't mind donating it. Name's Joshua, by the way."​

 

[Capri]

"Kid?" Senna questioned when the new guy would approach her. "Oh no, I'm Senna,"

"Senna, Senna. Got it." He scratched his head as he repeated her name twice. Guess she didn't like being called kid, though it didn't really come across as being bothered by that. "Name's Shirou. And why would a man be carrying something like tha-"

"I've got something you can use, miss."

With the others facing Road, Joshua was able to focus elsewhere, specifically on the purple-haired girl asking for a ribbon. Walking over, he reached into his pocket and pulled out a ribbon of the same shade as his hat, smiling the whole time.

"Used to use it for my hair, but I've gotten used to fighting with it down, so I don't mind donating it. Name's Joshua, by the way."

"Well, I'll be damned."​

Prologue:
New Beginnings

This is a story, but it's not the one that we're about to tell...

In the "age of fairy tales", when the World was whole, Kingdom Hearts was believed to be the source of all light. It was protected by its counterpart, the χ-blade. Many came to desire the power of light contained within Kingdom Hearts, and they clashed together, wielding the Keyblades they created in the image of the χ-blade. Their greed and jealousy introduced darkness into the World, and in the aftermath of this Keyblade War, the χ-blade was shattered into pieces, darkness covered the World, and Kingdom Hearts disappeared within the darkness. After time though, they tried to summon Kingdom Hearts once more and they did it, but shortly after the clash at The Keyblade Graveyard, it disappeared.

But after ten years since the clash at The Keyblade Graveyard, there was another legend to make this χ-blade whole again. What is needed is 7 vessels of light and 13 vessels of darkness. Then and only then, the χ-blade can be forged and Kingdom Hearts can be opened.

But that's not what we're here to talk about....is it? I think we want to go onto Zerberus' story.

He was actually one of the few many to actually get a Keyblade. He was participating in a Flail battle game…..It's very popular around the world where he lives. He’s more of a rookie or so he thought. But after time he got enough courage to try the tournament. He actually to the finals. He won and got to bring a trophy to his family…..only if he had one. He was alone…..He then got a visit from King Mickey himself. He was told that he had Darkness in his heart. He must come with Mickey and help him fight off the Darkness if he wants to get rid of this Darkness inside his heart... Of course, Zerberus accept his offer. He keeps getting visions of his future. He would eventually become Hachiro Terra…..his Nobody. He refuses to believe this his future and is now trying to prevent it.

Now he is in the world of San Fransokyo. He was finishing up with talking to Hiro Hamada and saying his goodbyes.

"We couldn't have done it without you, Zerberus..."

Hiro Hamada smiled as he looked at Zerberus. He and Zerberus had just fought Anti Baymax. This was a long and hard battle.

"Hey, it's not a problem. I'm just doing what I know best! Well, I think it's almost time for me to go..."

"Will you come back?"

Baymax was standing there looking down at Zerberus.

"Well... I might... But as long as I have the Keyblade, I'll always be around. And who knows... I might come back here to visit...."

Its been a long journey in this world and he has seen many wonders. He wished he could stay, but he knew that other worlds needed him. Besides that, he had other reasons to leave... He gets up and rubs his head.

"Well, I guess this is goodbye...... Hiro and Baymax....Don't ever change..."

Zerberus then walks up to Baymax and gives him a fist bump. Baymax gave his regular response as usual.

A tear fell from his face as he then walks away. He always hated goodbyes... He went into an alley before getting out his Keyblade: Star Seeker. He thought to himself 'I will never forget you guys...Thanks to you, you got me a reason to keep fighting the darkness.' He then points his Keyblade at the end of the alley. A keyhole appeared and a light shined out of it. Zerberus then enters into the portal, going unconscious.

When he woke up, he was in a room with a bunch of other people. He slowly got up and rubbed the back of his head. Is this the world he was supposed to go to? He had a confused look on his face as he then looked around.

"Where am I? Is everyone ok in here?"

He then looked up and saw people in white coats... They must be in the Organization! He gives the people in white coats a cold stare.

"I don't know what you're going to do with these people.... but if you're going to hurt them... You're going to have to get through me first!"

He had a determined look on his face as he then thought to himself 'I hope the bluff was good enough... And I hope that what I said gets me at least a few allies....'​

 

[Capri]

"Y-Yeah... gotta be some lie..."

I can't be stuck here for too long.

"Probably just a part of this stupid experiment... until it's over..."

I promised them that I would be around.

"Ahaha... c'mon Blake, get yourself together. You can't look too mopey in front of all these people... ha.. ha..."

While hard to see through his joke-spewing self, Blake felt all sorts of conflicts in his head once it was made clear to everyone present that they weren't going home at all. Despite all of these things possibly turning for the worse, Blake still smiled, probably to give himself some hope when it looked like there would be none here.

"Wonderful timing, I guess someone ought to have what you needed dearly... Senna, is that your name, correct?"

For a moment, he took in the fact that their little group happened to be growing with more people. It was going to be this way anyways with the fact that they were all stuck in this glass box for what felt like to be forever.

"O-Oh, we have ourselves a party here. Guess we'll have to lighten up the mood so it'll be more of a party than some form of imprisonment. For starters, my name is Blake Dormi... or if one of you likes to spice things a tad bit, I wouldn't mind being called a Black Raven... Now, if only this raven had its wings right at this moment, but that's being saved for later, no?"

On the topic of names, Blake knew that most didn't know who he was until he said so in the introduction, but looked over in Miku's direction.

"How's that for a second introduction for myself, Miku? A bit of an improvement from my earlier introduction for you? Be honest~, I'm quite open for some criticism on the spot."​

 

[Capri]

Well, the exclamations of both Alice's and Senna's caught her attention, but there was only one that she could currently do something about... After all, she had her little ribbon with the bells attached, and if it was absolutely demanded, perhaps she'd give it up. But it was her most prized possession, the only thing in her belongings that meant something to her, and--

Oh, thank goodness this guy randomly had a ribbon.​

 

[Capri]

Prologue
Trauma

Inspector Navel, while checking the rose placed in his front pocket, stepped out of his car. As his feet clattered against the stone pathway leading up to his partner's house, a young girl with long brown hair and bright, shining green eyes came out to greet him.

"Little Guy!" She said, running up and giving him a big hug. Behind her, a black cat followed and delivered a polite meow before nuzzling against the girl's legs.

Navel laughed, as it seemed Dr. Kimishima's daughter, Alyssa, had picked up on his nickname. Giving a squeeze in return, he asks, "Hey, Alyssa. Shouldn't Miss Kimishima have put you to bed by now?"

A drop of sadness washed over Alyssa's face. "Naomi hasn't come home from work. She was supposed to make us some curry tonight! I've gotten pretty hungry. Do you think she's at the store getting ingredients?"

"I'm sure she is, Alyssa. Here, I'll call her right now and see what she's up to." Navel pulled out his cell phone and dialed Naomi's number. The phone rang, and rang, and rang. A bead of sweat formed on his forehead as the call suddenly stopped. No voicemail, no error message. The call ended as if it never happened.

Keeping his composure, he tried calling the institute where Naomi worked. Once again, nothing.

Navel took a deep breath and turned to Alyssa. He said, "You know what? I'll go pick her up myself. You just go inside and wait, alright?"

"Okay, Little Guy," Alyssa said, scampering back inside the house with her kitten in tow. Little Guy climbed back into his car and rocketed down the road towards CIFM, where Naomi Kimishima worked.

He parked his car outside the building and hurried towards Naomi's office. As he stepped through the doorway, he felt sudden strong dizziness. He fought the feeling and pushed towards his partner's office. He stood on the edge of consciousness.

As he reached for the door to Dr. Kimishima's office, Little Guy blacked out completely.

--

When Little Guy awoke, he found himself lying next to Dr. Kimishima. He reached over and gently shook her awake.

Crystal blue eyes fluttered open. They held their gaze on Navel, locking with his own, before darting around the room around them. Arms followed after, pushing Naomi's body up off the floor. Hands ran through her messy hair as the brilliant mind beneath sifted through the data to be found within the glass box.

Naomi Kimishima stood up and proceeded to help Little Guy to his feet as well.

Dusting off her black and red suit, she said to Navel.

"Well, Little Guy, it looks like we're not in Portland anymore. We're also not the only ones to be whisked away from their homes."

"You're right. However, this place isn't exactly a wonderful world of fantasy. With all these scientists here and the way they have human beings caged up, it almost reminds me of..."

"How about we don't discuss that, Little Guy. You remember our promise," Naomi said curtly. Navel uttered a small apology before she continued, "I do see some similarities, however. Scientists with high regard for their field and low regard for morality. Except this time, we're the ones behind glass. Let's hope we don't wind up under the knife."

"Exactly. What do you think we should do, for now, Dr. Kimishima?"

With a sly, yet caring, smile, Naomi says, "Make friends, Little Guy. If we're going to be trapped here, we might as well meet others and learn as much as we can. Perhaps there's something we can learn, maybe a pattern, in those who were brought here with us."

With that, the doctor and the agent went their separate ways within the confines of the glass box.

--

Naomi, hearing Zerberus's shouting and threats, walked over to him and placed a hand on his shoulder in order to keep him from charging right at the glass wall and hurting himself or others.

"Take some advice: Fighting groups like this is difficult. Charging at them head-on will most likely end with you getting hurt. Wait until someone can at least find a way out of this box."

She let go of Zerberus. She worried that her tone was too harsh. She didn't know exactly how old he was, but she assumed he was younger than eighteen and probably a child.

Taking a gentler approach, she said, "I've fought against people like this before. It's not something you want to do alone. So, how about we don't do it alone,"

"I'm Naomi. Might I have your name?"

--

Being a fan of music, Little Guy was drawn to the song that came from the musical Pokémon. Entranced by the music, he walked over near her and found himself humming along subconsciously to the tune.

He wished that he had his guitar, but unfortunately nobody had tools of any sort with them inside the glass cage.​

 

[Capri]

"Yeah, don't sweat it, I'll find something to use, mister," she replied to Blake, unsure if she knew his name yet. He then introduced himself though, even mentioning Miku's name, so she nodded. Hopefully, she would remember all of these new names! "You look a little stressed though, Blake. Don't worry so much. I'm sure we'll be fine,"

Senna perked up, a wide grin spreading on her lips when Joshua would offer her a hair tie. "Ah, my hero!" she exclaimed, grasping his hands excitedly. "Thanks so much!" she told him before taking the hair tie from him. She would then began putting her hair up while she replied to Shirou.

"Hey, you never know who has what on them! I don't judge," she said with a laugh. After tying her hair back, Senna took a few steps back from the group so she would have room to leap into the air and gleefully dance around. "Ah, that feels soooo much better! I mean, it's not the cutest looking thing in the world, but I'm grateful for it! I'm sure I'll get a pretty-looking ribbon eventually. If not here, next time I see my friend who bought me my last one, I'll make him buy me another one!"

While fidgeting, Senna caught the gaze of a blonde looking in her direction. She waved to the other girl, instantly forgetting what she had been saying to anyone else. She couldn't help herself from staring at her pretty ribbon! "Oh my goodness, that's totally pretty! Where'd you get it, huh?" she asked, skipping up to Setsuna with sparkling eyes.​

 

[Capri]

Even though Lucio was certainly brave enough to stand on his own, a part of him felt more secure as Clark emerged from the crowd, siding with him and Joshua. Something about the name "Clark Kent" and his...figure, he gave off a heroic aura that inspired Lucio. Not unlike the feeling you'd get when you watch the newsreels about Overwatch when they were in their prime.

They had a nice "peacekeeper" group building here.

...peacekeeper.

Kind of ironic for Lucio, considering where he'd just came from. His smile dimmed just slightly as he was reminded of the situation he had carrying on his back. But, Lucio is nothing if not true to his words. A moment of clarity passed, and Lucio simply shook his head and smiled back at Joshua and Clark.

"Makin' friends with strangers ain't that hard, huh?"

Before he could get wishy-washy, Lucio noted Joshua's...interaction with Azura.

And pretty much every girl in this box.

"Keepin' it subtle, man."​

 

[Capri]

Seeing that Senna appeared to have preoccupied herself with something else involving her hair predicament, Miku turned her attention back to Blake and his introductions. "I think both are fine, Blake." She was picking up hints of overall unsettlement from him, though was at a loss on how to help remedy it.

"But what's with "Black Raven"? Is that your vigilante name or... something?" She seemed kind of out of it, though was still trying to make conversation. Her eyes notably remained trained on the scientists behind the glass wall, watching them with a certain sense of neutral confusion in her gaze.​

 

[Capri]

"Quite the lovely voice you have there, Azura."

"Oh, um, thank you, Joshua," Azura spoke, slightly caught off guard by the comment.

"Keepin' it subtle, man."

Azura wasn't sure what Lucio meant when he said this to Joshua, and she titled her head a bit as she thought over his words, she wasn't naive like her dear companion Jasmine back home, but she was curious about Lucio's comment. She wasn't going to say anything about it though.​

 

[Capri]

Penny didn't really care enough to talk to any of the people here.

"This is most likely another one of Quentin's dreams. At least that crappy music isn't playing."

He'd then search his pockets for the flasks he should have on him. Dream or not, he needed a strong drink because there were like at least 20 other people in here, and screw them, he needed a drink...​

 

[Capri]

As the Meloetta continued to sing, being totally into it, her body began to glow. Her clip ran through her hair, curling itself; the dresslike part of her body became more like a skirt.

In this new forme, still into her song, Doremi started to dance, despite the cramped space.

Cue Jabber fanboying more.​

 

[Capri]

Well. The sudden approach of Senna was more than unexpected, but Setsuna stood her ground, not so much as flinching as she regarded the other female and heard out her question. Not once did her eyes shy away from the other's, though she gave a small pause before answering. "...It belonged to my master. Kyoshiro." The statement was simple and steady, and Setsuna saw it as suitable. After all, she had been taught to primarily voice only what she was asked, preferably as short and sweet as she could. And so that was what she did. Speaking of...

"...Have you seen him?" she inquired, still speaking as softly and steadily as before. She knew the chances of this unfamiliar girl having seen the male were next to nil, as Setsuna was with him at all times and she'd never seen this girl before, but it was worth making the inquiry. But even if she hadn't, Setsuna had no intentions of just allowing herself to be kept away from her master for who knows how long.​

 

[Capri]

Alice was tired of listening to that Cullen brat act like he knew everything. She was also tired of being given cryptic answers by their captors. So, what did she do about it?

She went and sat off in a corner of the room by herself. If she was lucky, something would bust in, kill these scientists, let her go, and she and Travis could have their match in peace. But Alice had learned long ago that luck didn't count for anything anymore. But maybe this was a lucky turn of events-was she finally out of the Life? Well, if she was, it was left open whether or not this was better or worse.​

 

[Capri]

"Me? Stressed? A little maybe, but not too much for any other person to worry about. Like... if someone gets worried for me, I get worried for them back... and I'm a huge worrywart myself sooo... yeah, I'm mostly fine for now! The Black Raven can stick around without his wings for a while."

Blake tried to play it off to Senna that he wasn't stressing out from how things were turning out to be, leaving all of his internal worries in his mind and not spoken out loud externally for others to hear. Hoping for a topic change, he noticed that Miku was asking on his reasoning for having another name like "Black Raven."

"Think of it as a cool little name you set for yourself... since it's your parents or some other people that come up with your name... and well, I had a pet raven before. Cute little guy, but once I set off to being the vigilante I am today, he passed away... so I took up the name as the Black Raven..."

Almost drifting away from his laidback and non-serious attitude, Blake said out loud with a sign of frustration...

"... did you know that ravens are like the messengers of death? They caw, they croak, and someone gets their lights knocked right out of them once they hear a raven making noise near them."

Realizing that he was probably bringing down the mood, Blake let out a single chuckle and shaking his head a bit to disagree with himself.

"Eh... I think I'm just a mess with my thoughts at the moment that I sorta said what I was thinking in my head... ehehe... not much of a problem at all. I seriously don't want to worry anyone here..."​
