An: Whenever this Trails appear mean Cary is going through his Mark of Mastery trials also this part one will involve Four of Cary lovers training.

At the temple.

Everyone: "woah" they said looking at the symbol on Crick shoulder.

Crick: "Now" he said standing up.

"Cary you must pass this Exam in order to become a Keyblade Master" he said surprising them.

Cary: "Wait. What do you mean by that?" He ask.

Crick: "This exam or The Mark of Mastery is the final trial to become an Keyblade Master. But I'm afraid in order to fully master your keyblade powers you must head to these worlds" he said creating a spiritual map.

Everyone: "Wow" they said surprised.

Crick: "these worlds are the ones that you need to go" he said as the map show three worlds yet one of the three is familiar.

Cray: "hang on, that first world look like Equestria" he said surprising everyone, who is familiar with that world, however Crick just smile and just nod.

Crick: "Indeed but the worlds you are seeing are in a different plane of existence called The Ghostly Ether where you must face your trials" he said as the other two worlds are surrounded in dark barrier spheres.

An: The Ghostly Ether is from Legend of Zelda Twilight princess. And the dark barrier spheres are similar to Kingdom Hearts Dream drop distance.

Cary: "There something else ain't there?" He ask which Crick nod.

Crick: "Within these trials you must beat bosses which doing so will reveal these special keyholes that will restore the environment outside the plane" he said which Discord thought for a few seconds.

Discord: "The only place that come to mind is Celesta and Luna ruin castle" he said gaining everyone attention.

Cary: "Huh now that you mentioned it I had encountered an ruin castle which have a strange aura around it" he said catching Crick attention.

Crick: "If you say is true then you must return to that place. For what you sense isn't just aura but rather the entrance to that world Ghostly Ether" he said.

Sunset: "Then he might need an guide since the Everfree Forest is a difficult place to go alone. His best chance would be Princess Twilight since she know the way to the ruin castle" she said which Crick nod.

Cary: "Okay. So here the plan: I will return to Equestria and ask for Princess Twilight help in guiding me to the ruin castle. You four ladies start your training with Crick while Discord set up a teleportation from here to the fortress. Did everyone got that?" he said which everyone nod and leave.

Time skip.

Upon returning to Equestria and entering Canterlot throne room Cary immediately look at the weird scene before him.

An: ... is that a goose or another bird related to a goose?

Both Cary and Luna look at each other while Twilight is looking at the two but Cary then look at the bird that is glaring at him.

Cary: "... Nice bird" he said which Twilight jaw drop to the floor.

Princess Luna: "Thank you" she said smiling but immediately both herself and Cary heard a muffle scream which they look at Twilight to see her yelling into a pillow at her mind being crashed.

With Sci Twi and Kairi.

Inside the Chamber of Flow are both females who are looking around the endless white chamber.

An: basically an large infinity room.

Sci Twi: "So how does this work?" She ask Kairi.

Before she could speak, dark laughter stop her causing the two females to look around until they look in front of them only for the two to gasp.

With Sunset and Sora.

Currently both ladies are in the training room where they are fighting dummies of new enemies they haven't met yet.

Crick: "They need a lot of training" he thought as he overseeing the girls training. However it wasn't long until Discord, who just finished getting the teleportation in place, appear besides him.

Immediately he sweat drop after seeing how poorly the two females are training.

Discord: "Geez, no wonder Cary wants to create a new keyblade wielder faction" he thought as he recall Mickey fight against Ruber.

How he know is because of Oswald recording the whole fight.

Back to Cary.

After Princess Twilight recover, both herself and Cary went to the Everfree Forest which Twilight then guide Cary to the ruin castle.

However when they arrive at the bridge a mysterious barrier block Twilight surprising the two.

Cary: "Twilight you just wait there as something tells me that this trial is something you don't want to fight" he said which Twilight nod then Cary went through the barrier.

However to his surprised the ruin castle isn't in ruins anymore which he realizes is the Ghostly Ether doing.

An: imagine that the area surrounding the castle is cover in heavy fog.

Cary: "Alright let see what I'm facing" he said walking up to the door which have a symbol of a bull face on it.

He then touch the door which glow until the door vanish thus he continues on.

Back to Sci Twi and Kairi.

Currently both ladies are staring at their dark selves: Shadow Midnight Sparkle and Anti Kairi.

SMS: "hahahaha. You know that you can never get rid of me!" Shadow Midnight Sparkle said looking at Sci Twi who is slightly afraid.

AK: "Pathetic. You found and reunited with one of your friends but haven't search for Riku. Perhaps you two ain't truly his friends" Anti Kairi said causing Kairi to feel bad.

Back to Sunset and Sora.

Both ladies are getting tired from defeating so many training enemies yet there's a lot more.

At the same time both Crick and Discord are watching the whole training.

Discord: "Shouldn't you stop this?" He ask with worried.

Crick: "Not yet" he said confusing Discord.

Back to Cary.

Cary is currently searching for the boss but due to how large the castle is, he didn't find the boss yet however he did encountered lost souls that are from both Equestria and other worlds.

It wasn't long until he found the throne room which he enters however by doing so a barrier block his entrance.

Cary: "What the" he said however he hear a sound which he look at the center of the throne where darkness is swirling around the symbol of moon and sun.

Immediately Cary summon his keyblade and block a gust of wind that came from the darkness causing him to close his eyes.

It wasn't long until the gust of wind stop thus Cary open his eyes only to widen them in surprised at the shadow minotaur.

Shadow minotaur then roar charging at Cary who dodge.

Cary: "Alright, You're going down" he said then both himself and the boss charge at each other.

With Sunset and Sora.

Both ladies are near exhausted and on their knees but standing in front of them is the final training enemy.

Crick: "They are very close" he thought as he look at the ladies eyes which have determination.

Sunset: "We can't give up" she thought then stand up.

Sora: "I won't give up no matter what" she thought then stand up too.

With Sci Twi and Kairi.

Currently both ladies are listening to their counterparts negative comments on them when suddenly they have flashbacks.

Sci Twi flashback:
She remembers how throughout her life she was almost alone but upon meeting Sunset and her friends she discovered friendship.

Kairi flashback:
She remembers how she met Sora and Riku on destiny islands. Since then she had a great childhood.

Both ladies flashback:
They remember how Cary help them. Although Sci Twi hardly know Cary she remembers how he protect her. Kairi on the other hand remember how Cary show her love. Since then both ladies fell in love with Cary.

Both ladies: "we can't let them get to our minds" they thought.

All four ladies then realized what their true powers are.

Sora: "Heart" she thought then she glow.

Sunset: "Empathy" she thought then she glow.

Sci Twi: "Experience" she thought then she glow.

Kairi: "Purify" she thought then she glow.

With Cary.

Currently he continues to fight the boss when suddenly his keyblade glow surprising him slightly but then a shadowy aura cover his body.

POS: "This power" he thought as he sense great power coming from Cary.

Cary: "woah" he said then he dodge the boss but discovered he was faster which he smile and continue to fight the boss.

Back with Sunset, Sora, Sci Twi and Kairi.

After the light vanish all four ladies felt different like they are whole

Both Sci Twi and Kairi pass their trial and exit the Chamber of Flow while Sunset and Sora used a combo attack on the final enemy thus defeating it.

Seeing all this is Crick who smile at their success.

Crick: "well done" he thought then he look at Discord only to chuckle at seeing his expression which is priceless.

Discord: "what, how, when" he said while his jaw is on the floor.

Back with Cary.

It wasn't long until Cary managed to defeat the boss yet upon the boss defeat is when a keyhole appear.

Cary aim his keyblade at the keyhole then a beam came out of the blade and hit the keyhole causing a bright light to cover the room.

Trial of Redemption Pass!

After that voice spoke Cary is back to reality then he discovered that he's in the ruin castle throne room.

However turning around he is immediately face to face with a sword to his face but then see a woman on the other side of the sword.

???: "Explain who you are and how you appear out of nowhere" the woman said.

A hour later.

Back at the temple.

Currently the ladies are chatting with each other about their success while Crick and Discord talk about the ladies results. However the entrance door open causing everyone to look at the door to see Cary there but standing beside him shock Discord and Sunset.

Cary: "um yeah she wants to come with" he said pointing at the woman who reveal herself as Nightmare Moon.

Nightmare Moon: "Yeah I'm alive" she said looking at everyone but more precise looking at Discord and Sunset.
