Even longer, but I am going to be gone for a week, so this is to hold you over. (Anti, I don't want a straight port so we can fix some plot holes.) Anyway, Enjoy this rather big piece of the story!

Ansem smiled at the information revealed to him of the Clone troopers from Cresslia by Xemnas. This new universe may not have infinite number of Heartless or Nobodies to conquer, but they have the clones to manipulate on our command.
"Present me one of these clones for me to see," Ansem mused. He wasn't convinced. After all these were mindless clones, could they be a excellent source of able bodied troops, "After all who was the template?"
Xemnas answered, " A bounty hunter by the name of Jango Fett. A excellent template, he kills with efficiency. If you wish to have a sample of the clone, than I will honor that request." He snaps his fingers and a corridor of darkness appears, "You may come out Commander Appo and Fox."
Two clonetroopers, wearing plastic white armor with blue markings. Their faces hidden by their helmets, vision only used through the visors attached to the helmet. Judging from their names, they were not normal Jango clones. They were armed with blaster rifles.
"Yes my lord Emperor Xemnas," The two clone commanders bowed down on their knees to the Organization leader, "What is it that you request of us, Lord Xemnas?" They glare at Ansem, "Is he bothering you my lord?"
Xemnas smiled and said, "Don't worry my Commanders, he is an ally of ours....," He quickly changed the subject, "Did you install the new Order 66 in the remaining troops within the 501st Legion?"
"It has been a success," Appo said, "Our clonetroopers of the 501st Legion has now orders of obeying you as well as future clonetroopers. May I give a suggestion?"
"Speak.."
Fox said, "Why not rename the 501st Xehanort's Fist? Since we are trained to be the best fighting force in all the Republic.....err Empire comparable to Jedi, we need to have a new name."
Xemnas and Ansem smiled, the both halves of Xehanort. Ansem said, "I like this clonetrooper, he's a good loyal servant. Are the rest like him?" Xemnas told Appo and Fox to leave them and he summoned a corridor of darkness in which the clones entered into.
Ansem frowned at him immediately, "Lord Xemnas, someone appears to be power hungry about now."
"Power hungry? I think not my other half," Xemnas responded, "You have the Heartless and I yielded rule of the Nobodies to you. It is only right that I, with my Organization gone by the hands of Sora, that I have control of these clones," He summoned a corridor of darkness to the Temple and entered, "At least they called our clones Xehanort's Fist..."
Ansem said, "Don't forget who's in charge here. I protected you from fading back into darkness, I saved your life. Don't let me regret doing so, I'll take it back!!" He threatened his Nobody.
"You were never in charge Ansem," He then disappeared.
"Xemnas.....he will have to be eliminated shortly. I still need to take Kelsie's body for my own since Riku is too powerful, maybe this Anakin he told me about can be persuaded to darkness. He has feelings for that Senator. This will be my Empire!!!" He laughed out loud and he conjured up several Heartless, "Go to the Temple and eliminate Riku!!"
(madammina)
Riku lay in his bed at the temple. He placed his hand on the wall behind him. Kelsie's room was back there. She was sharing it with Kairi tonight. Roxas and Ale were busy catching up, but would retire to their separate rooms later. Why couldn't he sense Ansem? They were bound tightly together. He knew that, as did Ansem. But as much as he wanted to be rid of Ansem, he also didn't. Ansem had taunted him, tortured him, just made his girlfriend mad, but he had also given him the ability to use immense power. Power beyond even Maleficent. He closed his eyes again, and fell back on his bed. He tried to drift off, but this world, no this DIMENSION, bugged him. There were so many new words and worlds to know. He was exhausted from this crash course, but could not go to sleep with these questions running around his head. And it did not help matters that Palpatine had reported that someone with white hair and a black cloak had stolen the documents relating to the clone troops. And now with the CIS trying to separate. No one knew where it was based, how much Dooku had to do with it. He rolled over in his bed. He needed to sleep. If he didn't know the first thing about these questions, then how could he answer them. He felt something tickle his foot. He opened his eyes and looked up. A Heartless stood by his bed. Summoning Souleater, he thrust forward to impale it, only to turn and see a darkball and a dusk. He fended the two off, then banged the wall separating the two rooms. He did it whenever he got a free moment against the multitude of Heartless.
"What is it Riku?" Kairi yawned, a bathrobe hanging on to her form. "Ohmygosh" she then said, and summoned Island Memories. "Heartless!" She shouted. She heard a soft oomph
"Stop struggling, Riku." Said a voice that had haunted Kairi's nightmares as far back as she cold remember. "I'm going to kill you like you always knew I would." Ansem was in the temple.

(FF7 Battle theme is playing)
Ajani and Ziz were dueling each other for a while now in the desert plains of Tatoonine outside the farm of Ben Skywalker. It was a test of strength, to see who was the stronger after 2000 years. The warrior of Sparta and the 2,000 year old Keyblade Lord of the Sky could not defeat the other in battle and were easily matched with the Spear of Olympus versus Fallen Angel's Redemption. Not even Ajani's powered up Cerebus or Gryphon forms nor Ziz's One Winged Angel SOLDIER form could tip the balance in one of the fighter's favor.
Both warriors landed on opposite sides of the field gracefully. Weapons were clenched
tightly in each other's hand and eyes glaring into the eyes of the opponent.
"Hmmmmm, Ziz smirked, flipping his brown hair, "How am I surprised that despite 2000 thousand years past, you still prove to be my equal after all this time?" He began to laugh maniacally as his eyes began to glow a radiant yellow and the essence of darkness began to flow from Ziz, "And it will end now!!!!! Power of Jenova in me, give me your strength!"
"What the?" Ajani took a few steps backwards, "What is happening? Why do I feel darkness being emitted from his body?" Ziz sensed the fear in his eyes and smiled.
"Do you fear me? Is my mako-enhanced state a little too much? Do you concede?" Ajani shook his head and readied his worn out spear, "It seems you failed to understand who is the true. The Gift of the Goddess belongs to me!!!!" He thrusted himself towards Ajani.
"Damn....," Ajani gulped as he encrusted himself into the ground with his Spartan shield and worn out spear pointed right at the advancing Ziz, "I see how it is Ziz, if you wish to fight me. May Zeus and Ares' courage be in me..."
Ziz ran right past Ajani and soon fell down to the ground,dark red blood in huge amounts pouring out of his chests.
"My friend, my friend! Ziz!!" Ajani said as he ran towards the lying body of Ziz as he began to shake him, he pulled him over to look at him, "Oh my god! Ziz!" He shouted out appalled at the sight, "You are bleeding heavily and what's happening to your face...."
"Degradation.....I used the power of mako," Ziz coughed out heavily, "Mako has its weak points, too much mako energy untapped will cause degradation to begin," He began to laugh, "I never knew that I would begin to degrade like Genesis...." He said, his hair losing its brown sheen as strands of it began to be gray, His eyes' pupils became gray. His wing became withered and white.
(madammina)
Kairi swung Island Memories around, then stuck her head out in the corridor.
"Heartless!!!" She shouted. Kelsie shot up. She grabbed her knives then ran into Riku's room. She threw one of her throwing knives into Ansem's back. Ansem let go of Riku's throat, Riku slumped to the ground gasping for air. Ansem looked at Kelsie, then turned into Riku.
"How in the worlds..." Kelsie whispered, her grip tightening on her sheffield's. Ale and Roxas swung into the room.
"You must be Axel." Rikunort said. Ale pulled out his Chakrams.
"It's Ale."
"And You're Ansem." Said Roxas, both Keyblades out. Ansem smiled then covered his hand in darkness. He was right by Kelsie now, but by the time she realized it, it was too late. He pushed his hand into her chest, right by her heart. It honestly felt like she was having a heart attack. She could feel the darkness clogging up her arteries, she felt hate start to strangle her heart. She felt her blood vessels corrupt with jealousy and envy. She fell to her knees, her eyes rolling into the back of her head. Then her heart jerked, someone had pushed Ansem. It was Riku, real Riku. Ansem turned back to normal, but his hand still buried in Kelsie's chest. Riku was panting, but in anger or shortness of breath Kelsie could not tell. Then Ansem fell backwards, Ale had thrown one of his Chakrams, separating the bond between Kelsie and Ansem. She blacked out.
She woke up in Tia Dolma's hut. Leviathan was there too.
"You're not dead." Calypso said. A ghost of Davy Jones hung in the corner.
"Ignore him. He can not sense us." Kelsie looked back at them, she couldn't speak. "Ansem just forged a bond with you." A composer, and she couldn't think of a single song. "You do have hate, and fear too. He planted a seed in your heart. A heart already weak because of madness. You must keep control of yourself, until you can return to your normal status."
"And watch out for Ziz. Help him." Leviathan finally spoke up. "His darkness had suddenly grown."
"Kelsie, Kelsie, wake up." Roxas was waving smelling salts under her nose. Riku leaned over her. He knew that look. "you too." Kelsie nodded, then broke down again.
(Xziled)
“What do you think is taking Ziz and Ajani so long?" asked Sora as he sat down on a chair.
"I'm not sure," said Mickey as he turned toward the door. "I'll go che-," when the door opened up and Ajani came in carrying a bloody Ziz.
"what the-," said Donald and Goofy together.
"Marie, Ben help," yelled Ajani as he put Ziz down on the sofa.
"Yeah Ajani? Wha-," started Ben as he came out and saw Ziz.
"What happened?" continued Marie as she saw Ziz as well.
"No time to explain, can you help him?" asked Ajani.
"Yeah we can do something but we'll need your help," said Marie and she pointed at Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Mickey.
"Sure, count on us," said Goofy confidently.
"Good. Now, I'll be back. I need to find something that might help." and he left out the door. "I hope this'll work," he muttered as he activated a feature on his gauntlet and an arrow hologram appeared above his hand. He put his hood on, and a few hours later Ajani moved across the endless dessert in search of something and looks at the screen on his gauntlet where there’s an arrow pointing toward a strange rock formation.
"There it is, I've found it," and Ajani hurried to the rock formation that looked like a venus flytrap.
After coming near the rock, a door seemlessly appeared from the rock itself and opened as he drew near it. After entering, Ajani is teleported to another area that is similar to a corridor made of rock when suddenly Ajani’s communicator went off.
"Yes Senator," said Ajani rather impatiently.
"Well I thought you would like to know that master Obi-Wan Kenobi was captured by the CIS separatist group and I would like you to save the Jedi before they kill him," said Palpatine indifferently.
"Fine I will do it when I have time," and Ajani closed the link. “I'm too close to stop now," and he continued to move forward down the corridor to where a door stood and a sign saying:
"to those who wish to pass you must sacrifice something of equal value"
and a cup about five inches in width and three inches in legth appeared beneath the sign.
"hm...," and placed his right arm over the cup and took out his spear and cut his arm near the wrist and let the blood flow into the cup. after a few seconds the cup filled up and the door disappeared revealing a big room and a see-through cylinder with a glowing sphere in it was in the middle. "I always hated blood sacrifices," and he ripped a piece of his cloak and wrapped it around the wound, then moved into the room and grabbed the object.
Hours later, Ajani makes it back to the hut and finds Ziz bandaged up, sleeping in a room and Sora and co. sleeping on the ground near Ziz. "hm...," and starts looking for Ben and Marie, but finds them fast asleep as well in their own room.
"So what will you do now, Ajani?" asked Marie still with her eyes closed.
"I'll leave these guys with you, I have official business to attend to off-planet." and Ajani turned around and left.
"What a poor soul," said Ben as he got out of bed and picked up the cylinder Ajani left next to the door.
(AntiSora92)
In the harsh desert mountain climate that was the planet of Geonosis, in which the Seperatist Confederacy of Independent Systems had established its temporary base of operations. Geonosis was out on the Outer Rim of the Galaxy out of the fringes of Galactic Republic-controlled Space and far away from the influence of the loyalist Senators residing at Coruscant within the Inner Core.
This planet provided the perfect haven for the Seperatist leaders and their military and financial sponsors among the Trade Federation and other commercial enterprises established through the Galaxy to stay calm and plan out their takeover of the Galaxy. Thousands of star systems, dissatisfied with the corruption and human-controlled rule of the Republic, has joined the CIS through their enthrallment with the CIS leader, former Jedi Master Count Dooku's, message of end of corruption and peace.
"The shroud of darkness has been lifted," Count Dooku was out on a balcony, his hand resting on his heart as if he had just receeved a heart attack, "The darkness is growing it appears, but not from my master Lord Sidious, the Dark Side is growing at Coruscant and Tatoonine."
"Count Dooku?" The Sith Lord turned around to see it was an human, perhaps one of the servants of the CIS leaders, "I have urgent news to tell you of the plans of the Republic. The Republic is planning a major assault and my master wishes for you to come to the war room."
Dooku answered, "Really my friend, but who sent you for me to know?"
"Gizor Dellso."
Dooku smiled, "Very well. Tell Dellso that I'll be there at the moment if you may." The servant immediately bowed down to the Sith Lord in respect and immediately escorted himself out. Dooku turned his attention back to the red sky, "It appears that the Republic is planning to assault the CIS capital, but in how will they do so if they have no army....meaningless, our mass numbers of droid numbers can eliminate any team of Jedi sent here."
Laughter was heard and a voice said, "How little do you know of the Republic?" Dooku's eyes widened as he immediately took out his lightsaber, he felt the essence of the dark side of the Force increasing in its concentration.
"Who is there? Show yourself?"
Corridor of darkness was formed and a silver haired man with yellow eyes in a black trench coat appeared out of it. A smile formed on the dark-skinned man's gruesome face, was this the person that darkness was being emitted out of.
The man said, "It is a pleasure to meet the CIS leader himself, Lord Dooku." He bowed down in reverence to him as a sign of respect. Dooku still felt suspicious of the man and took several steps back, lightsaber clenched tightly.'
"Who are you? Why is darkness is seeping from your body?" Dooku questioned, "TELL ME!"
"My name is Ansem, I am nothing but a Seeker of Darkness traveling amongst the worlds spreading darkness in Darkness' own name." said the man, identifying himself as Ansem.'
Dooku asked Ansem, "What is your purpose, Seeker of Darkness? Why have you come before me to Geonosis, are you one of the Jedi?"
"Of course not," Ansem began to laugh, "Let's just say that we both have a mutual hatred of the Jedi Order and wish their destruction..."
(madammina)
Xemnas looked about. Ansem had done well. Now Kelsie made up the increasingly growing web of contacts. He closed his eyes. What did she feel. She hated a girl named Sharpay. She was angry at the loss of life she was increasingly apart of. She was jealous of her classmates normal lives, no. She was jealous of most of the citizen's of her worlds' normal lives. But in that, was gratification? She was happy she could effect the future. He opened his eyes. The seed of darkness would grow, but only if she had someone or something to hate, be jealous of, fear, be angry at. With the Sith situation, it might prove a good time. If he or Ansem possessed her, she might lose her immortality, but her powers would remain. Of course there's always the chance it might not... He smiled. And then there was Axel, as Ansem reported. Axel, or Ale, was here. He had already proven his allegiance to darkness when he lost his heart. Jealousy, that was how he lost it. He lost it because he was jealous of the fire eater that was taking over his job at the circus. Xemnas decided to wait patiently. Ansem would have a few jobs when he came back.
__________________________________________________ ____________
Kelsie looked in the mirror. She examined the black mark on her chest. It reminded her uncomfortably of the black spot. She remembered that feeling... she didn't want to remember it anymore. What ever you called it, how she felt, so helpless, so angry, so jealous, so fearful, so reckless. It was an odd conglomeration that scared her. There was knock on the door.
"Battle council" it was Kairi. Kelsie buttoned up the top of her shirt, and followed Kairi. Ale's black thing was in the middle of the room.
"What's with your dreams." Leon said. Kelsie said a bit, but like with Riku, edited down the level of violence. What there was shocked everyone into silence.
"Look, but we have to stop it.” she pleaded “Tron, Cid,"
"Yep!" the two said.
"Okay, set up some kind of scanning around that black hole. Integrate technology if you have to, but we need to keep that more or less closed. Yuffie, you need to train my brother."
"YES!" Brad shouted. "wait, why am I taking orders from my little sis."
"Because she was tortured about 12 times today alone, served on a pirate ship for several months, can throw a knife, and can compose an entire play."
"Fine." Brad said.
"Someone needs to go to Santa Barbra. The Bireh Vero is there and can keep an eye on stuff too. BESIDES the Gullwings."
"I'll do it." Cloud volunteered.
"okay, any other ideas." The meeting continued long into the night. Kelsie didn't talk to much after that though, she still felt odd from the corruption in her heart.
(AntiSora92)
Xemnas looked around the surroundings of an abandoned Republic military training facility in Endor, a planet out in the Outer Rim millions of light years to the northwest of the Republic planet of Coruscant. It appears that the seeds of darkness had now been planted in the Water Elemental Kelsie's heart causing her to slowly lose all feelings except for anger, hatred and jealousy.
Thanks to his Heartless counterpart Ansem, the Seeker of Darkness. He smiled in sensing darkness in the heart of a Jedi warrior known as Anakin Skywalker, he was well trained in the use of the Jedi weapon the lightsaber, much similar to the aerial blades that he used, it would be time before one incident would push his heart into darkness.
Meanwhile another source of darkness known as Ziz Nightingale, Elemental of the Air and a re-instated Keyblade Lord along with a ex-member of SOLDIER. He remembered fighting the Keyblade Lord when he had murdered Behemoth and Leviathan along with the Keyblade Grand Master Gaia in their sleep along with the hundreds of Keyblade wielders. His heart is slowly turning to darkness, perhaps if the three warriors of darkness....Kelsie, Anakin, and Ziz met. Would they all fall? Interesting.
Xemnas continued to train his 501st Republic clonetroopers, all their minds warped into following him, "It is time to repeat what I have taught you so far in these past hours since I brought you here from your prisons at Cresslia. Who do you serve?"
"LORD XEMNAS!!!" The clonetroopers shouted loudly and gave a additional salute directed at the Nobody, a smile forming on the man's lips.
Xemnas continued to question his clones, "Who are you willing to die for?
"XEMNAS!!!! SIR! YES SIR!!!"
"Excellent indeed," said Xemnas as he looked up the roof of the building in which he and the clones are in, he looked back at his clonetroopers, "We have a mission that I want you to accomplish since you are the best clone unit in the Empire. I need you to attack the Republic mining colony of Polis Massa, there we will establish our new capital for our Empire at the meantime. We will receive aid in this mission from my servant Ansem." He created a immense rift of darkness large enough to accommodate the clone army and he ordered at them, "March!"
"SIR YES SIR!!" They saluted and quickly marched into the rift of darkness that Xemnas had created.

Cloud walked down the streets of Santa Barbra. Kelsie had spoken a little to him later. She told him how to dress and what to expect. He watched the odd sights and sounds, so different from Radiant Gardens. There were plants here, but also something called 'Wifi Internet'. He finally found what he was looking for. It was a one story building with the word 'PSYCH' emblazoned on the window in green paint. He opened the door, hearing a bell jingle.
"Psych. How may I be of service." A white guy in his early 30's and wearing a green shirt sat behind a desk. "And what a marvelous head of hair that is."
"Are you Shawn Spencer?" Cloud asked, looking at him.
"Depends who's asking? Yes, I am. " Shawn said hurriedly. Shawn looked the odd customer up and down. Most guys that came in here did not look like this guy. Shawn tried to pick up points about him, but the only thing he could tell was that he didn't seem comfortable here, he bore himself like a man of action (possibly in the army), he dressed in vaguely militaristic clothes in very odd fabric, and he wore a glove that looked like a skeleton hand. Shawn put his hand by his head. "I sense that you are not from around here."
"Are you sensing I'm looking for the Bireh Vero?" Cloud asked sarcastically. Shawn dropped the act.
"Who are you?" NO ONE here knew about him being the Bireh Vero, well except Gus.
"My name's Cloud Strife. Kelsie sent me."
"She could have come to me herself."
"Not when she's trapped in an alternate dimension." Shawn frowned.
"Where are you from?"
"Radiant Gardens." Shawn finally relaxed.
"Shawn!" Gus walked in. He was a tall black man, bald, wearing a suit. "Trying to get a client without me? Hi, I'm Burton Guster."
"Where's your tattoo?" Cloud interrupted. Gus looked really frustrated.
"It's one of those things Shawn?"
"Of course it is. Don't be a sour sally."
"You go off, and if you die you ruin my credit! You know you forged my signature on this lease."
"And we've earned more than enough to pay it back. Come on, you know I can't die."
"That can't be tested until you do." Cloud finally cleared his throat, stopping the two‘s friendly but heated argument.
"The Tattoo?" Shawn turned around, and pulled up his shirt. On his lower back was a tattoo of a pineapple. Cloud nodded. "Like I said, she's trapped in an alternate dimension and was just attacked by Ansem, for the umpteenth time that day. She can't return, but asks that considering you're her right hand man you keep an eye on what goes on in these worlds and keep an eye out for Imperial Clone Troopers, who we have no idea who they are. This" he gave Shawn one of the black octangonal disks "is for communication. She has one, and so does the Restoration committee. Shawn, Gus." he walked out as the phone rang.
"Psych" Shawn said. "Ah, Jules! What do you have? Murder. At. The. beach. Okay, we'll be right there. Come on Gus." he said. Gus frowned at him.
"Why do you even trust him? How do you know he isn't a Nobody?"
" I can just tell, like how I can tell you met Genine again..."
"Shawn!" The two best friends argued as they walked into the blue car. As Gus drove, Shawn pondered. This looked like it might be trouble.

As Naminé, Padme, and Anakin learned of where Anakin’s mom was they headed straight there. As they walked to the hut a strange droid came waddling up to them.
"Hello, how may I help you, I am C-,"started the droid.
"3PO?"finished Anakin looking at the droid.
"uh... the maker and Padme too and who are you?" said C3PO as he noticed Naminé.
"Hello 3PO and this is Naminé by the way," said Padme as she introduce Naminé.
"Well then, it is nice to meet you miss Naminé," said C3PO.
"3PO we've come to see my mother," said Anakin.
"Oh wel,l I think we should head indoors," and C3PO started waddling to the hut and everyone followed him.
Once inside a young man and a woman are standing near the door. "Master Annie I would like to introduce two very important people," said C3PO as they stopped.
"I'm Anakin Skywalker," said Anakin.
"And I'm Padme and this is Naminé."
"I'm Owen Larz. I guess you're my stepbrother, I had a feeling you would show up one day." said owen.
"Is my mother here?" asked Anakin as he looked around the place.
"No, she's not," an elderly man in a hover chair said as he came out. "Kleit Larz, Shmie is my wife. we should go inside, we have alot to talk about," he said as he shook Anakin’s hand and headed inside.
(AntiSora92)
Xemnas was walking through the empty halls, a smile of satisfaction formed on the man's face. He looked around the medical facilities occupied and garrisoned now by the members of the elite 501st Legion, now dubbed Xehanort's Fist clad in their white and blue Phase 2 Clonetrooper Armor.
The occupation of the mining colony of Polis Massa had been a easy first task for this large batch of elite Jango Fett clones. The soldiers immediately sweeped over the asteroid colony that was settled by the Polis Massians who submitted to them peacefully without firing a shot. He wondered what to do with the settler population of Polis Massians, clearly they would be unable to launch revolts which if they did, would end up in their extermination.
Commander Appo appeared before him, "My Lord." He gave a quick bow to Xemnas in reverence.
"Commander Appo, what a surprise? How has the troops felt about the operation?"
Appo took off his helmet, "It was a overall success Xemnas, me and Fox easily brought the locals under our control...what do you wish to do to them?"
"Enslave them and put them on the mines....and one more thing, we are going to occupy the planet of Mustafar next."
"Very well my lord”

Kelsie was exhausted, but could not sleep. Cloud had reported back to her, letting her know Shawn was mobilized. She stood up, and opened the collar of her shirt again. The black mark was still there, beginning to look like the Heartless symbol. Why her? She both enjoyed and hated her work. She was immortal, powerful, and could do a lot of good in the worlds. But what good could she do if everywhere outside of her world that she went meant a lot of people dying. So many people died in Singapore, then there were the hints with that other nobody, Mittlewerk, and their unfinished business involving the Spider Protocol, and now here. So many people here seemed destined to die. But isn't that why she came, to stop their deaths? There was a knock on the door.
"Come in!" She shouted, rebuttoning her shirt. It was Kairi. She looked a little shy.
"I'm sorry." She whispered.
"Sorry for what? You didn't do anything."
"But if we hadn't met you..."
"I would have been so much more lost when I arrived in Calypso's hut. At least you know a bit more about where I come from."
"Well, the Jedi found this." She stepped to the side, and Riku and Ale were trying to push in a piano.
"Thank you, thank you, spasiba, sorry about that." She blushed. "it tends to sneak out."
"Riku" Ale said. "mentioned you could play well."
"Well..." Kelsie said. "What do you want."
"Whatever you do."
Kelsie frowned. The only song she wanted was "Point of No Return." She didn't even want "Everyday" or "Breaking Free" or "How to Save a life." Which didn't bode well for her, she realized. Considering it was dissonant.

Ansem waited on the temple roof. He could feel the guilt start to overcome her. He listened to her play a song he didn't recognize. But the sound delighted him. She really was starting to turn.
(AntiSora92)
Xemnas was by the terminal facility overlooking several hundred clonetroopers marching inside several cargo transports. By the occupation of Polis Massa, Xemnas now had a base to begin the slow yet successful conquest of the Galaxy now torn with civil war between the Republic and CIS. He was waiting by the window overlooking the soldiers as Commander Appo comes to him.
"Appo, something you wish to tell me," said Xemnas as he turned to face the clone commander.
"My lord Xemnas," Appo bowed down to him, "Fox and 4,000 501st Clonetroopers are headed to assault the peaceful and neutral planet of Mustafar and incorporate it to your Empire. Any further orders?"
Xemnas responded, "Send Delta Force 10 to Geonosis and eliminate a man named Ansem along with the leaders of the CIS at any costs, Do you understand?"
"I understand my lord," Appo responded as he walked away the opposite direction to speak to the troops./

Back in Tatooine, Ajani waits for the okay to launch when someone knocks on the side of the ship.
"Who could this be?" and he got out of the cockpit and opened the hatch to find Sora standing there.
"You wanted something, kid," he said.
"How come you're leaving already?" asked Sora.
"I have business to attend to, Sora, and I cant waste my time watching all of you," said Ajani as he was about to close the hatch.
"Okay here," said Sora as he handed Ajani the cylinder with the glowing sphere. "Ben and Marie don’t know what to do with it."
“fine," said Ajani. "also you shouldn’t leave your friends alone out there," and he closed the hatch and went back to the cockpit.
"Ajani you are ready for take off," said a launch crew member.
"Roger that, inputting coordinates now, Ajani taking off," and out of the atmosphere and into space. the next stop: geonosis.
Meanwhile back in the terminal Sora watches as Ajani’s ship disappears in the sky.
"I wonder what he meant by business?" as Sora watched the ship disappear into the sky.

Naminé listened to the lars' talk about the Tuscan Raiders, while she drew. She never really liked to stop drawing, it helped center her in a plane of existence where she wasn't supposed to exist. She wondered about the Tuscan Raiders. Kleitz described them as "walking like men, but they're actually animals" A mix of a Heartless and Nobody she thought. They plot and planned like a nobody but simultaneously operated on instincts she continued as she traced the edge of a cliff. She was drawing this scene, she drew Anakin's determined face, Kleitz' face of regret, Owen quietly listening, as the girls felt like they were intruding on some private scene. Anakin abruptly got up and left.
"Where are you going?" Padme said.
"To find my mother." Anakin hopped on his speeder bike and went into the distance.
Darkness fell by the time Naminé had gotten to drawing Anakin again. Hs face was sad as he held an older woman in his arms. She drew captions again.
"I'm here mom." Anakin was saying.
"You look so grown up." His mother said, and then her hand fell. Naminé stopped drawing for a second, she felt the darkness seep through her drawing at the moment of Shmee's death.

Ziz's blue eyes were filled with tears upon seeing his hands, the degenerating and worsening condition of his skin becoming much more apparent. His hair was no longer the long, and graceful auburn but now a silvery pale gray. His clothes were beginning to appear older in age and rips in them began to appear, exposing part of his body to the Tatoonine twin suns radiating heat on his back. "I need Jenova cells to stop the degradation of my body," said Ziz as a small, gray wing sprouted out of the silver haired man's back, "I'm growing weaker.....damn myself for ever being stupid to be a part of one of Hojo's experiments when I was in SOLDIER."
His body soon lost all energy and strength as he fell to the ground. A groan soon let out, "Ughhh.....god damn." He spat out a huge amount of blood from his mouth and his eyes began to droop, "It looks like I won't be able to live.....," He fell on his back and stared at the sun rising, its shape forming and resembling into a red heart, "Is this what you want Leviathan and Behemoth? Master Gaia? You want me dead....now you'll see me join you in the Realm of the Dead....."
"Hmmm....," A portal of darkness appeared near him, his eyes couldn't move as they were fixated with the sun of Tatoonine, now transformed into Kingdom Hearts, "This is where my story ends....a story of two thousand years in the making. Ajani....Sora...I'm sorry..." His eyes closed and his body just laid there lifeless on the ground unable to move.
Couldn't pay attention to the several mysterious soldiers clad in blue and white armor kneel down in front of him and place him in a stretcher. A man in a black trench coat appears right by the soldiers.
"Lord Xemnas, the subject Ziz has been acquired...."
"Excellent Officer Isa, now send him along with the troopers to our base in Polis Massa. I have business to attend to with a certain Keyblade Master..."

"Kelsie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" A voice echoed in her ear. "you have a job to do." The voice interrupted the best dream of Kelsie's life. She was not being tormented, it had nothing to do with Singapore, she was actually in her house, eating her mom's food with Riku sitting in too. He was busy with trying to pronounce the Russian names. Everyone was laughing. The voice took shape until it was Leviathan.
"My friend was captured. You have to go rescue him." The dream changed now. She gasped and grabbed where Ansem had touched her heart. The area changed into the mining towns of Polis Massa. A sound, music echoed through the air, it was the area's song. "He's dying. He was my friend. He was the only one who survived Xehanort's attack. Please." Leviathan said. Kelsie woke up. She checked the mark in the mirror. It was still there, and Leviathan and Calypso hovered in the mirror behind her.
"FINE!" she shouted. "I'll do it" And walked out the door. Riku stood in the halls, hurrying over when he heard her shout.
"What's going on."
"I'm being haunted by two previous Tia Dolma's who want me to save a guy named Ziz, who is currently in another world and they interrupted my best dream."
"Do you want to give it a break?" he asked. "Take a small break."
"If I've got Ansem inside me. then I need to do this before I lose my will." She summoned a water portal. "You coming?"
(Xziled)
"damn this place is full of droids," thought Ajani as he hid behind a pillar as two assassin droid rolled through the corridor. After they passed Ajani looked around to see if the coast was clear "Good, at least I have some luck," and he ran through the hall. moments later he enters a room full of battle droid staring at him.
"Intruder Alert, Roger Roger," said one of the droids as all of them raised their rifles.
"This is the worst day of my life!" and Ajani ran away as the droids chased after him.

"Kelsie!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" A voice echoed in her ear. "You have a job to do." The voice interrupted the best dream of Kelsie's life. She was not being tormented, it had nothing to do with Singapore, she was actually in her house, eating her mom's food with Riku sitting in too. He was busy with trying to pronounce the Russian names. Everyone was laughing. The voice took shape until it was Leviathan.

She checked the mark in the mirror. It was still there, and Leviathan and Calypso hovered in the mirror behind her.
"FINE!" she shouted. "I'll do it" And walked out the door. Riku stood in the halls, hurrying over when he heard her shout.
"I'm being haunted by two previous Tia Dolma's who want me to save a guy named Ziz, who is currently in another world and they interrupted my best dream."
"Do you want to give it a break?" he asked. "Take a small break."
"If I've got Ansem inside me. then I need to do this before I lose my will." She summoned a water portal. "You coming?"
Riku nodded and flashed a smile, "Of course Kels, I have to make sure that Ansem doesn't take complete control of your heart. I wouldn't want anything to happen to you."
The silver haired teen gave a small kiss on Kelsie's cheek causing her to blush a bright pink, "Riku..."
"Ready, now hold my hands Riku!" She placed her left hand right against the wall of water and a portal of water began to form right on the wall, a image of a asteroid was seen on the other side. "Looks like that's Polis Massa right about-"
A few laser blasts immediately came out of nowhere and shot Kelsie along with Riku in their chests throwing their bodies to the other side of the room.
Riku immediately stood up right in front of Kelsie, "What was that? Who shot us?" He immediately transformed into his Dark Form...muscle suit, Soul Eater and all. He shouted, "Show yourselves..."
"What's going on....." groaned Kelsie as she placed both of her hands in her stomach. Her eyes widened and looked up at Riku, "I'm bleeding....." Her blood was not dark red like any other normal human being, but it was completely black and sticky the blood that was pouring out, "Ughh...."
Riku said, "Kelsie! Hang on Kels!!!"
"Sorry Riku....I just can't....." moaned Kelsie in pain as she tried to hold back the amount of blood that was pouring out.
"Nooo...." said Riku as he tried to shake her body, trying to hold back his tears....and his darkness within him.
Kelsie's eyes closed and her body slumped down into the ground. The Tia Dolma was knocked completely unconscious and Riku's eyes glowed with anger and hatred as they changed into a fiery yellow. Darkness began to flow out of Riku's body.
"AHHHHH!!!!!!!!" Riku shouted angrily as he pulled out a second Soul Eater in his other hand and a deep, demonic voice spoke out, "Come on out you bastards!! I'll kill you all!"
A voice shouted out, "Clone Assassins, onwards and kill the man known as Ansem!"
Several clonetroopers wearing white and blue armor, Riku's eyes narrowed. These must be the Imperial clonetroopers that Kelsie had warned everyone about from her dreams when under Ansem's control. The clonetroopers though had viroblades attached to their armor rather than blasters.
"Boy, stay out of the way. Ansem deserves to die!" shouted the clonetrooper as he pulled out his twin viroblades from his arms and glared at Riku.
Riku was confused, they shot Kelsie. Yet they were demanding Ansem....what was going on
(madammina)
Ansem mentally roared with pain. Kelsie's immortality kept her from dying, and kept his power firmly rooted in her and in this realm. But Riku had tapped deep into Ansem's ability, splitting his consciousness. Her form had held up well, even if it was awkward to be in a girl. And he was showing more power, if she was bleeding darkness, which might not be good. Would this purify her? Maybe not, if Riku's tapping into his power had not released him from the comatose body.
He would kill Xemnas when Kelsie awoke. The double crossing nobody, he would pay. Then, maybe she could be tortured more... no. He dug through her memories quickly. She didn't mind killing Heartless or nobodies. But she had a problem killing people. But the only way to torture her was to return to being human and then she wouldn't want to kill Xehanort, no matter how much he had put her through. He watched Riku trying to protect Kelsie's body. How much did he know? enough. Maybe Kelsie would be forced to kill Riku... but Riku had so much potential. He would think about this as soon as Riku let go of his hold on him.
__________________________________________________ ____________
Naminé paced in the Tattoine desert. She felt torn. She felt a deep darkness from the desert, Anakin's darkness. But far away, she felt a derivative of Xemnas' darkness in Kelsie. How was this possible. She heard a rumble in the desert. Anakin rode his bike into the Lars' house. There was a sackcloth bag on his bike. That was what a body looked like, when they don't fade back into darkness. Poor Anakin. But they needed to move. Something was brewing.
(AntiSora92)
A corridor of darkness appeared and Xemnas exited out of the portal. He smiled to see Riku, in his dark form wielding dual Soul Eaters, and a unconscious Kelsie that would have proven useless to fight be surrounded by the 501st' very own strike force of clone assassins. Riku's eyes began to glow with rage as he saw the silver haired Nobody approach closer to him and her.
"Ahhh Riku and the Elemental," said Xemnas pretending to miss them, "It's been a while since we last met when you and the Keyblade bearer 'defeated' me at the Realm of Nothingness." His glance looks downward at Kelsie, "Ahhh the living descendant of Leviathan, Ziz, and Behemoth in her, she doesn't look well..."
"STAY BACK!!!" shouted Riku as he lunged the Soul Eater at Xemnas only for the Nobody to grab it easily and break the sword into two, "What the-?"
"You are not in control my friend," He looks at Kelsie again seeing her skin extremely pale and her half visible pupils now yellow, "It appears my inferior other has taken a liking to your friend..."
(madammina)
“LET ME OUT!!! LET ME OUT!!!" Kelsie screamed. Ansem looked over his shoulder as he started to merge into her body. "CALYPSO!! LEVIATHAN!!! RIKU!!! HELP!!" Ansem laughed.
"If Riku could hear you, he could tell you. Once a body is taken over, no one can hear the original soul for very long. And the time you could use it is already up."
"I DIDN'T SUBMIT TO DARKNESS! I'm a Composer, for goodness sakes." She thought for a second. "And the Tia Dolma, but still!"
Ansem still laughed.
"You know it is really creepy for an adult guy to phase to take over a 16 year old girl's body right?"
"But when has he ever particularly cared about appearances." Calypso sauntered over. "I can not save you like before you accepted the mantle."
"Well, what was the point of showing up?" Kelsie flung back.
"If you don't want him to take you over, you might want to practice patience." Kelsie glared, but said nothing. "Ansem, get out." Calypso ordered. Ansem laughed again.
"You're a sea nymph, resident of Port Royal, you have no power here."
"And I?" It was Leviathan. "Besides revenge, I will not let you take my grand-successor." Ansem laughed again.
"That is getting annoying." Kelsie said, and tried to punch Ansem.
"It's not going to work, I'm already in control. Good bye Kelsie." Kelsie vanished to Radiant Gardens, and saw her brother and Yuffie practicing fighting.
"How am I going to get back. Riku, Brad, I've failed you."(AntiSora92)
Kelsie's eyes immediately opened awakening her, yet those weren't her eyes. The pupils of her eyes were now filled with anger and hatred in her yellow pupils of her eyes. A demonic voice spoke as she stood herself up and glared at Xemnas.
"You're awake Kelsie....."Xemnas half whispered.
"Kelsie is no longer in control, Xemnas.....you and your legion will die here...." It was not Kelsie, but Ansem speaking out of the composer's body
(madammina)
Kelsie paced in Radiant Gardens. I'm like Snegurochka she muttered to herself. Snegurochka was a story her mother told. A girl made of snow who fell in love. Another man fell in love with too, but he did not please her. The second boy's old girlfriend said that Snegurochka had stolen, and after the Tsar intervened and trusted that she did not like the second boy, the other girl threw herself in a well. But Snegurochka's happiness was not to be, since she melted when spring came, with her boyfriend there to witness.
She didnt' want to be Snegurochka! She needed... she might need Shawn. But first... She ran over to Brad practicing sword fighting.
"SNEGUROCHKA!" she shouted. "BRAD MICHAEL PETROVIKOV NIELSON!" Nothing. She frowned and turned around. And went to Santa Barbra.
Shawn looked around for clues. He was busy. The death had been of a violinist, and currently the suspect was a very beautiful harpist. Shawn looked around for clues, as the police moved the instruments out.
"SPENCER!" It was detective Lassiter. "What are you doing here? It's an open and shut case" Lassiter was an imposing man of Irish decent. He was taller than Shawn, had piercing blue eyes, and black, controlled hair.
"Yes" Shawn said mistily. "But the Spirits are trying to tell me something." He wandered around the room, looking for clues under the pretext of having 'spirits' lead him.
Meanwhile, Kelsie was screaming. "Shawn!!!" He was ignoring her, our couldn't hear her. "DARN IT!!!" She shouted, and slammed her fists on the piano. "CLANG!!!!!!" The Piano clashed.
"Cut it out Shawn." Lassiter said.
"It wasn't me, it was the spirits!" Shawn said. Kelsie looked at the piano. She placed her hands gently on the piano, and started to play scales. Everyone stared at the piano.
"Move it." Lassiter said. The Officers moved the piano to the Office. Once it got there, Kelsie started to play again.
"Cellophane, Mr. Cellophane
It should have been my name, Mr. Cellophane
'Cause you can look right through me, walk right by me
And never know I'm there"
She played the Piano part. She couldn't sing it like any other time.
"okay, who's playing Chicago?" Lassiter shouted.
"Detective," Juliet said. "It's the Piano."
"Spirit." Shawn said. "I'm going to ask you a few questions. Highest note is yes, lowest note is no. middle not is maybe. Are you a musician?" Kelsie played yes. "Are you dead." Maybe. "Are you the death we are investigating." No. "Do we know you?" Yes. "Can you show it?" yes. "Can you do it." She started to play
In between the lines
There's a lot of obscurity
I'm not inclined to resign to maturity
If it's all right then you're all wrong
Why bounce around to the same downed song
You'd rather run when you can't crawl
I know you know that
I'm not telling the truth
I know you know they
Just don't have any proof
Embrace the deception, learn how to bend
Your worst inhibitions,
They will Psych you out in the end
I know you know, I know you know,
I know you know, I know you know ,
I know you know, I know you know
"Kelsie" Shawn said. She played yes, several times. "Gus, come on."
"But we have a case." Gus said. "I am not leaving until we solve it."
"Gus, Kelsie is a ghost.” Shawn hissed so no one else could hear. “We're going to Radiant Gardens." Shawn Grabbed Gus' arm, walked outside, sensed Kelsie put her hands on his, and created a grass portal to take them to Radiant Gardens.

Ziz opened his eyes, he looked around where he was. He was trapped within this green-tinted glass prison of a pod and saw that there was a lot of medical equipment available. Strange men armed with blasters and clad in white plastic armor with blue markings marked all over looking over at some computers and staring at his unmoving body.
"Where am I?" thought Ziz as these soldiers were observing him, the words that they exchanged with one another unable for Ziz to hear. "Is this what world's end for me is like? I'm sorry I had failed you Ajani and Sora, it appears my life ends as a part of some meaningless experiment..."
Process of Degradation has been paused. Degradation of Body at 25 percent said a robotic computer voice heard by Ziz.

Riku stared at Kelsienort. It would be an amusing sight, if it wasn't his girlfriend being possessed. Why her? He was the better candidate. He had succumbed almost completely to darkness, she had been infected, yes, but never succumbed. She hadn't even used darkness. He hated leaving her like this, but he needed to contact some people. He crept out the door and ran down the hall to Ale's room.
"Ale!" he shouted. "I need to borrow that device."
"Way ahead of you bro." A new voice said from the device. "Are you Riku?"
"Yes, and you are..."
"Shawn Spencer, head psychic for the Santa Barbra Police department, Bireh Vero, and currently working on sending your girlfriend back to your dimension." he spoke this in a little more than one breath. "Calypso!" he yelled. "I need you to boost the thingamabob."
“That is my job, whelp." Cid yelled back.
"Anyway, Kelsie came over to me, and we found that she can only interact by playing music on an instrument. Not sure why"
"She's a composer."
"You're jealous." Shawn taunted. "Don't worry about me."
"No, I would worry.” A new voice said. “Burton Guster."
"More commonly called 'big head Burton'"
"Shawn, you started that." Gus yelled.
the piano part for an old tune rang out
STOP! In the name of love. before you break my heart.
"I think she just wants the first word, Shawn." Gus fumed. "Back off Gullwings."
"Look" Riku interrupted the banter that felt like his own and Sora's. "How is she coming back?"
"We're making a new gummiship." Cid said, sounding far off. "Calypso is enchanting it so it can track her body. It's gonna be just her, I'm working on a remote system right now."
"I will rejoin her in spirit once she crosses over." Calyspo's accented voice echoed through the air. "She needs to save Ziz."
"Who's Ziz?" Riku asked.
(AntiSora92)
Xemnas and Ansem, now in possesion over the body of the weak minded female composer Kelsie, glared at each other's yellow pupils of their eyes. A unsorted mix of dark red-colored human blood and black liquid darkness splattered all over the girl's room. The 501st Clone Assasin Contingent had their poison filled dual viroblades pointed at Kelsienort. Now that Riku had run out the room out of fear of being targeting by both halves of Xehanort, it was all now either Xemnas or Ansem.
"You double crossing bastard...," Kelsienort glared angrily at Xemnas and her body glowed a bright purple. Soon the body of the composer Kelsie transformed itself into the man known as Ansem, the Seeker of Darkness now complete with a body, soul and heart.
"How could you Xemnas," Ansem advanced towards Xemnas' side of the room as his hand glowed a dark purple and was charging energy for a dark aura attack, "I am the one whom you serve! You will not betray me-"
Several clonetroopers withdrew their viroblades and took out their blaster rifles aiming at the Heartless leader. One of the clonetroopers, judging from his additional equipment attached to his armor..he was probably the clone commander, slammed the butt of his rifle at Ansem pushing back several inches and shouted, "Advance any further to Lord Xemnas, and you will be eliminated, Ansem."
Xemnas walked over to the clone commander's side and said, "That is enough, Commander Isa. He is of no threat to you or your men. Stand back and return to base at Polis Massa for Operation Imperial Subjugation 005."
The clone commander turned to his troops and then gave a quick glance, "But my lord-"
"Follow current orders Commander," Xemnas said in a cold-hearted, emotionless, death-ringing tone in his voice, "Unless you wish to serve as a part of the 501st's experiments as a template for the prisoner we have back at headquarters."
"If you wish my lord..," A sigh was let out of the commander as he took out his helmet, flipping his long, blue hair, "Best of luck to handling Ansem." He then looked toward his troops and directed his hands towards the corridor of darkness at the wall and shouted orders, "You heard our Leader, return back to base. Our brothers need help in the Mustafar system,.."
The clonetroopers and clone assassins nodded in agreement following Commander Isa in immersing themselves within the corridor of darkness against the wall and disappear.
Xemnas pulled out one of his aerial blades and went into his battle stance, "Now where were we...."
