At a rocky open area...

Xigbar: (blush) Wait, so what happened to you?

Vexen and a young man with dirty-blond hair and has an odd mullet-like style, with several individual bangs that fall over his face, were standing next to Xigbar and both of their faces were red. The young man next to Vexen is named Demyx, rank IX of the original Organization XIII.

In front of them, was Larxene who was still in her black bra and panties and she was sitting on the ground covering her chest with her arms.

Larxene: Don't ask! Just get me a new coat!

Vexen: (smile) This is hilarious.

Demyx's mind: (blush) Breast against breast...

Xigbar's mind: (smile) Score!

Larxene: What are you looking at, pervs?!

She furiously  threw her knife at them. All three of them dodged. 

Larxene: Get me a new coat now!

Xigbar, Vexen, and Demyx: We're on it!

They then ran off to get her a new coat. Someone then came behind her. She turned and looked up. She saw Ansem standing there.

Ansem: You look ridiculous.

Larxene: Shut up old man!

Ansem: What happened to your clothes?

Larxene: They melted.

Ansem: (raised his eyebrow) 'Melted'?

Larxene: Yes! By that pink haired bastard! He's going to pay!

Ansem: So he's causing trouble again? I'm not surprised.

Larxene: Yeah, whatever. How's Mr. Wiseman?

Ansem: (sigh) He won't say anything. I tried forcing him to tell me about the girl, but he won't say anything. I guess I have to bring back to his old hideout.

Larxene: Well good luck with that.

He then came close to her and whispered into her ear. 

Ansem: Keep a lookout in this area. Someone is here in this world listening. I don't know who it is.

Larxene: A spy? I'll keep track.

*Mysterious Tower* 

Back at the Mysterious Towers, Riku, Mickey, Sabertooth, and Crime Sorciere were standing in front of Yen Sid, who was sitting at his desk. The doors opened and they turned to see the group entering.

Drake: Hey guys!

Sora: Sorry we're late.

Mickey: It's okay. You got here as fast as you could.

Sting: Hey, Natsu!

Rouge: Gajeel.

Natsu and Sting grab each other's hand.

Natsu: How's it going Sting?!

Erza: (came to Jellal) I see you're doing well.

Jellal: You took the words right out of my mouth.

Yen Sid: It's nice that we regroup... But we have matters to discuss. Can you explain to me what has been happening.

Sora nodded and he explain what has been happening on his adventures.

Sora: The Organization claims to have their Thirteen Darknesses.

Mickey: Do we believe it's true?

Sora: Umm...I don't know, but there's something else they keep mentioning.

Erza: The New Seven Hearts. They are after young women who they believe contain pure light.

Lady: It's their code for "let's go bother princesses or girls."

Yen Sid: Well, as the original Princesses of Hearts' time for protecting the pure light has ended, they have passed the light to others.

Yukino: Princesses of hearts?

Sora: During my first journey, Maleficent and her gang gathered girls with pure light in their hearts, devoting them from darkness. So they are name Princesses of Heart. They were Snow White, Cinderella, Aurora, Belle, Jasmine, Alice, and Kairi.

Lucy: Kairi's a Princess of Heart?

Sora: Yeah. Maleficent destroyed their home worlds in order to get them and use their power to unlock Kingdom Hearts. When me, Donald, and Goofy freed them, they used their power to push back the darkness so it won't spread to other worlds. After me and the King sealed Kingdom Hearts, they returned to their worlds."

Rufus: So in other words, they now don't have that power since they used it to push back the darkness during Sora's first journey.

Yen Sid: Yes. And our enemy must certainly be cognizant of this. If the 'New Seven Hearts' is what they wish to call them, so be it.

Rouge: Do you know who the new seven are?

Laxus: We met three. There is Rapunzel from one world, and Elsa and Anna in another.

Sora: (thinks for a bit) But Kairi hasn't passed on her power. Is she one of the new seven?

Mickey: She must be. But still, she chose to wield a Keyblade and fight with us as one of the Guardians of Light.

Sora: Yeah...

Kat: She'll be fine. Mirajane and the others are looking after her.

Donald: (changes the subject) We haven't found Terra yet.

Goofy: Hey, at least we've tracked down Ventus. Vanitas told us he's inside Sora's heart.

Erik: Vanitas?

Mickey: He's Ventus's dark half and the creator of monster born of negative emotions called the Unversed. 

Macbeth: And you're sure Ventus is inside Sora's heart? 

Modeus: Yes. We were not sure at first, until Vanitas told us he was inside him when he was a little boy.

Jiminy: And so did Ansem the Wise in his data, so it almost certainly must be true.

Mickey: That's great! Now we can rescue Ven.

Drake: But that still leaves one problem; where's his body? And, even if we find it, how do we get him back without killing one of them?

Riku: And Aqua's the only one who knows where he's hidden. We still have to find her first.

From Sora's heart, he gets that odd feeling again, and without realizing it, he spoke.

Sora: I'll go.

Donald and Goofy: What?!

Natsu: I'll join you!

Mickey: Is that wise?

Yen Sid: You need the Power of Waking, Sora. Do you have it?

Sora: (breaks out but is frustrated) I don't know! We've tried everything we can so far, and nothing's working! We're running out of time, and the Organization isn't going to wait for me to get this power back! I want to help find Aqua, with or without it!

Everyone was surprised at Sora snapping like that again. From the looks of it, the stress of the situation was building up more and more, and Sora's getting more and more anxious.

Yen Sid: (remains calm) I understand how you feel, but without that power, you are not ready to face the Realm of Darkness.

Natsu: Dammit! How do you even know if he needs it there?! Is Aqua even asleep?!

Yen Sid: It's just a precaution.

Erza then punched Natsu into the wall. 

Erza: I apologize for his behavior, and please continue sir.

Sora: C'mon...

Riku then started to laugh.

Sora: What's so funny?

Riku: Sorry. Master Yen Sis knows you a little too well. He said you'd try to stage a half-baked rescue.

Donald and Goofy then started to laugh as well. Mickey joined in as well.

Natsu: WHAT'S SO FUNNY?!?! (everyone faces Natsu) He wants to help Aqua! She's been alone there for a decade and you're just here laughing at someone who wants to help her! It doesn't matter if he has the power or not, you won't know what will happen if you try!

Everyone was surprised by Natsu's angry. He then stomped towards the door and slammed it behind.

Lucy: I-I'm sorry! I'll go check on him! (ran after Natsu)

Mickey: He was really mad...

Wendy: He really wants to find her. It probably reminded him of his search for Igneel, the dragon that raised him. Natsu sees Aqua as a lost friend who needs help.

Riku: We get it. We want to find her as well. Sora, I know you're volunteering because you're worried-about me and Mickey.

Sora: No, it's that- 

Suddenly, he found himself in darkness. He was confused, and tried to call the others out, but heard no one. 

However, he then hears screaming, and turned around to see death: he saw Riku, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Ventus, Aqua, and Axel get shallowed by a huge tornado of Heartless, Lady and Trish wrapped in demonic vines, Kairi broken into pieces, and Drake's body laying on the ground with blood pouring from him.

Next thing he knows, he's in Crocus, but where a massive tree was, and swarms of demons moving everywhere across Earthland and other worlds.

Then, up to the sky, he sees the same three glowing red eyes looking down on him. Sora couldn't move from his spot, and soon heard a deep and demonic voice.

???: Sora. You and the son of Sparda cannot run nor hide from me. My power is returning to me, and soon I will be free. The worlds will be mine. These people will be mine. And when I'm done, all of humanity will be extinct, and the universe will be the new domain of Mundus.

Sora was still standing there, but soon felt a dark substance get on him and began to change him. It felt like his insides were being altered, and felt excruciating pain. He screams, but doesn't hear his own voice. It kept going until—

*BANG!*

The vision ends completely, and Sora fell on his back. He falls on the ground, and looks up to see Drake holding a smoking Ebony, and the others looking scared and worried for him.

Sora: What the hell Drake?! Were you trying to kill me?!

Drake: No, I was trying to get you to snap out of whatever you're hallucinating. 

Riku: Sora, are you alright?

Trish: Yeah, you were screaming. What did you see?

Sora: I...don't know. I saw you guys dying left and right. And there was this...demon-like tree in Crocus. And, and the worlds were overrunning with demons. I then saw these glowing red eyes in the sky. He spoke about destroying humanity, and it felt like he was either killing me or changing me into something.

Donald: We...we all died?!

Ur: Wait, what do you mean "demon-like tree?"

Goofy: And what's with the red eyes?

Kat: Guys, give him so space. 

Yen Sid: Hmm...

Mickey: Master? 

Yen Sid: It would seem you, Sora, caught a glimpse into a possible future.

Drake: You mean one where we all get screwed and the universe turns into demonville?

Yen Sid: Potentially. And if what he saw is true, then that means he must've had contact with Mundus.

Modeus: The demon king? 

Wendy: (fear) Did... did you just say... Mundus...?

Happy: (scared) You... you got to be bluffing about that... right...?

Riku: Who's Mundus? 

Carla: The demon king who rules over all other devils. However, he was imprisoned two thousand years ago by Drake's father, Sparda, and has since remained trapped in the Underworld.

Juvia: But, if Sora had a vision of this, then that means Mundus could be returning.

Gajeel: That is mess up. 

Riku: Sora, is that how you really feel? 

Sora: Yes... Sorry I kept that from you. 

Riku: (place his hand on Sora's shoulder) Well, thanks. But, the power of waking's important. You can come to the rescue once you've got that. Sound fair?

Sora: (reluctant) Yeah. All right. 

Riku: His name is Natsu, right? Are you sure he's going to be okay?

Sting: He'll be fine! You should see him action!

Sawyer: He acts first and thinks later.

Richard: But the way he fights is incredible.

Sora: Be safe. No reckless stunts.

Riku: Yes, sir.

Donald: (whispers to Goofy) Sora's the reckless one.

Jiminy: (whispers) No, not exactly. He just doesn't think.

Goofy: (whispers) if only he listened to Master Yen Sid the way he listens to Riku. That would be a good start.

Sora: I'm listening now.

Natsu: So did I.

Natsu was standing in front of the door with Lucy. He then ignited his flist and blasted Donald, Goofy, and Jiminy, making them crash into the wall. The others laughed at them.

Natsu: I'll support you. You're an awesome friend and you have cool powers.

Sora: (smile) Thanks Natsu.

Yen Sid: Very good. Sora will continue his journey to build his powers, while Mickey, Riku, and the other wizards will focus on the search for Aqua.

Everyone: Yes, sir!

Donald and Goofy: (weakly) Yes, sir...

Yen Sid: Before you go... I spoke with Makarov and the Magic Council.

Lucy: The Master?

Erza: What did you find out?

Yen Sid: They said when the time comes for us to fight the Organization, they will have something special to use. They haven't explained what is though.

Orga: Guess we'll find out when the time comes.

Yen Sid: Also, they want me to give these bracelets to the Dragon Slayers.

He then summon bracelets onto his desk. They have black straps with a lacrima on them. 

Yen Sid: They are miniature Dragon Slayer Embark. I heard that you're all weak to any moving object you are on, so this will prevent that from happening.

Gajeel: Alright! No more motion sickness!

Wendy: I don't have to use my Troia spell every time!

Rouge: This is rather convenient.

Yen Sid: Now, continue on your missions.

*Keyblade Graveyard*

Back at the rocky area, Marluxia was standing on top of one of the thirteen pillars while Larxene was standing on another. She was now wearing a new black coat.

Marluxia: So, why are you back?

Larxene: Nice way to greet your old partner in crime. 

Marluxia didn't seem to care.

Larxene: So why do you think the old geezer took us back? He must know we backstabbed the Organization when Xemnas was running it.

Marluxia: Xehanort doesn't care about you or me. To him, we're nothing but empty husks. The only Organization was the same. Xehanort needs thirteen vessels to hold his essence.

Larxene: Husks? Not me. You up for another coup?

???: Oh, please. You couldn't do it last time. You gotta play it smart, like me.

Both of them turned and saw Demyx on top of the tall pillars, playing with his Sitar, Arpeggio.

Larxene: What?! You're not smart!

Demyx: Well, you heard what Marley said. I don't have to be smart.

Larxene: (irritated) Or capable, or like ale, or attractive. A cereal bowl would make a better vessel.

Demyx: Whoa now, you are way out of line. I am extremely imposing...when I want to be. Which is, admittedly, almost never.

Larxene: (changes subject) Why haven't you gone to any worlds? Are you slacking?

Demyx: 'Course not. I got benched.

Larxene: Huh? 

Marluxia: Saix brought Vexen on board. They must be planning to use replicas.

Larxene: Those windup toys?

Demyx: Oh, no. The replicas are way more real than you remember. I mean, one stole my spot!

Larxene: (laughs) Of course it stole your spot. You're dumb as a brick. (laughs more)

Demyx: (unamused) Har-dee-har. At least I didn't come back half-naked from my mission.

Larxene looked at him furiously.

Marluxia: Vexen's latest replicas are no mere puppets.', said Marluxia. "The Riku replica we used in Castle oblivion was just a prototype. The next replica, the one crafted from Sora's memories, was real enough to join our ranks. And Vexen claims the new ones will be human in every way. If he ever finishes them.

Larxene: (sarcastic guilt) Oh... The thing is...I kinda told Sora and his nitwits that we're ready. My bad.

???: Let them believe as much.

A dark corridor appeared on the highest pillar, revealing to be Xemnas.

Larxene: Ugh, Xemnas. 

Xemnas: If they think that we have all Thirteen Darknesses, then they will panic. And panic leads to a lack of preparation.

Demyx: Yeah, totally.

Larxene: (points at Demyx) Why is this thing a member again?

Demyx: Hey now! Pointing is rude!

Xemnas: The first six members of the original Organization were all apprentices to Ansem the Wise, and the seventh and eighth members joined thereafter. The thirteenth member was Roxas, a Keyblade wielder. So. What about you? How do you suppose I chose numbers nine through twelve?

Larxene: Because our hearts are uber powerful.

Xemnas: Wrong. You have been brought together for another purpose.

???: What? So that we can rot away on the bottom rung?

Another dark corridor appeared in the area, revealing to be Luxord. 

Larxene: (sigh) You're in too? What is this, Organization Rehash?

Luxord: I happen to play an important role. No one "benched" me.

Demyx: You were listening? So not cool.

Luxord: One must hold one's cards as long as necessary.

Larxene: What "important role"? That stupid box the Xigbar claims is real, but won't tell us a thing about?

Luxord: (holds a card up) You'll just have to ask Xigbar that. Now then, Xemnas, what is this "purpose"? You didn't invite us back for old times' sake.

Xemnas: You four are going to reveal your greatest secret; the ancient Keyblade legacy that slumbers within you.

All four of them stared at Xemnas with surprise and confusion as Xemnas chuckled.

Xemnas: Before we can move on. Larxene, how is Lucy?

Larxene: Lucy? Oh, you mean that blond bimbo? She seem pretty fine last time I saw her.

Xemnas: I see. I guess she still using her magic. I'll test her again when the time comes.

Chapter 72 ended.
