"OK, finish playing" I put myself in battojutsu position with Yamato
"Die," the blonde woman tells me by pointing a cannon at me that's loading mana
"Ah, try to survive this instead [Aura Trigger], Seals 1 to 3 release"
Suddenly the temperature seems to be dropping but one thing seems different compared to the last time I used my demonic power with Yamato a magical purple circle appears under my feet and releases a large amount of energy which pushes Ellen back.
And because of my accumulated fatigue of the day I have a lot of trouble controlling it, it took me all my attention to prevent all this energy from unleashing on the city that I did not notice the changes taking place on me as my eyes instead of being red becomes yellow with my celera turns purple and my hair turns white with purple tips and tribal marks appear from my right eye to my cheek
"What the hell is that? "
"Ellen, I hope you survive this because I don't have control over my power," I tell her in an almost demonic voice.
"What?"
"[Getsuga Tensho Overdrive]" a great wave of black and purple energy takes the form of a dragon heading straight for Ellen but it doesn't stop there it continues to head straight for all the Bandersnatch across town to spit against the DEM fighter ship that seems to have received a lot of damage and withdraws from the fight
The rest of the Wizards still standing recover Ellen who is seriously injured and the others and retreat, I return to the ground and deactivate my [Aura Trigger] and I put Yamato back in his sheath and make him disappear

I look in front of me at the damage I've caused
"Haha, that sucks, Ruby, Sapphire, can you tell me what happened? "
"Sorry, Master, but I don't know what happened. I don't have any data."
"I'll have to ask Bahamut if he knows anything" and then all of a sudden I get suddenly tired.
"I overused my powers... "
* BUMP *
// Timeskip //
When I regain consciousness I notice that I fall to a vitrified platform with me on it with black and white hair with a sword in the shape of a key on Bahamut's back on top of a tower with a clock in the middle of the night with a full moon in the background and the faces of all the people I have met. After landing on the platform I realized that my appearance is that of me at the age of 12 at the same time I hear a voice talking to me
[So many things to do. So little time. Take your time. Don't be afraid. The door is always closed. Move forward step by step. ]
Following the instructions of the voice and moving towards the center of the platform, a pedestal with a sword appears
[ Power sleeps in you ]
Another pedestal appears carrying a shield with it
[If you give it shape... ]
and the last pedestal that appears with a magic wand on it
[He will give you strength. Choose wisely.]
I approach the pedestal with the sword and take it, doing so, the voice tells me
[The power of the warrior. Invincible courage. A sword of the Great Power. Is that the power you're looking for?]
"Yes"
The sword disappears from my hands in a flash of light with blue dots as it disappears from my hand the voice speaks
[ Your path is traced ]
I turn to the shield and the wand.
[ Now, what are you going to give up in exchange? ]
I walk to the shield and take it
[ The power of the Guardian. The kindness to help friends. A shield to repel everyone. You wish to give up this power.]
"No"
I walk to the wand and take it
[The power of the mystic. Inner strength. Unspeakable wisdom. A stick of wonder and ruin. Do you want to give up this power? ]
"Yes"
Like the sword, the wand disappears from my hands in a flash of red light instead of blue when the light disappears the voice spoke
[You have chosen the Power of Force. You want to give up the Power of Mystic. Is this the form you choose? ]
"Yes, I do. "
To my answer the 3 pedestals collapse on themselves and disappear then a staircase appears on the edge of the platform I move towards it then begin to follow the steps to arrive at another platform like the one before but of red color with three people in the middle of it my father, my mother and me at the age of 5 years
Intrigued by the appearance of these three people, the voice speaks
[The door doesn't open yet. Tell me more about yourself. ]
I approach the young me
"What are you afraid of? "the young me asks
I thought to myself and I quickly found an answer. I have always appreciated my freedom in the light of the world after Grandpa adopted me. But sometimes I was afraid of being trapped in darkness, unable to escape the endless emptiness.
"Losing myself in darkness with no hope of escape" I answer
"It's quite scary, indeed. "the young me says
I walk to my mother
"What is the most important thing to you above all? "she asks me
I thought of myself on the issue. At one point in my life, I felt alone and excluded, but I have a family and friends in different worlds who care about me more than anything.
"I appreciate my friendship. My family and friends are the most important to me" I answer
"I agree. Friendship is very precious" she answers me
Finally, I'm going to see my father.
"What do you want to do in your life?"
I thought about that question and I quickly found an answer.
"I have always wanted to have a life of adventure, visit new places, contemplate the glorious view, meet new people and share it with my loved ones" I answer
"It's a beautiful wish." He answers me.
After talking to the three characters, the voice spoke to me
[You fear the darkness. You want friendship with your friends. You want to discover other worlds and explore their horizons. You're probably destined for greatness. Your adventure is already starting. Keep a steady pace and you'll do very well. The day when you will open the door is both distant and near. ]
A bright light once again darkened my vision, the way it appeared, the light faded.
I found myself on another platform in the middle of total darkness. The same but different colors. I walked around the platform, checking its environment. As soon as I reached the center of the platform, I turned to see a black creature that was beginning to appear in front of me. In a few seconds, I was surrounded so I make my sword appear and put myself in a defensive position.
I took the first step as I rushed to the dark creatures and hit them from left to right with quick hits by launching a sliding pull attack. Many dark creatures fell in battle and disappeared in a puff of black smoke. One of the dark creatures tried to attack by jumping towards me. However, I jumped into the air dodging the attack and countering the attack by diving towards the black creature and throwing my sword at it and throwing it into oblivion.
After defeating the last creature, a bright light shone from an unknown source on the center of the platform, creating what looked like a ring of white light. I walked into the light and stepped inside. I felt my strength refresh and rise to its maximum.
I then saw another beam of light leave the ring and move towards the edge of the platform, which then caused a series of steps to form, creating a staircase up towards another platform that slowly emerged from the darkness. I crossed the platform and climbed the stairs. When I arrived on the new platform, I noticed that it was the same platform from which I had started, but the light seemed even brighter. As I turned around, my shadow began to transform, twist and turn into a big, muscular, red-eyed black monster. From what I've seen, he was really not friendly. As the monster took shape, the voice rose.
[The closer you get to the light, the bigger your shadow gets. But don't be afraid. And don't forget.... ]
I started to move away from the black creature and quickly ran away. I quickly skidded until I stopped when I approached the edge of the platform. I then turned around and faced the dark creature as it was rising above me.
The black monster pushed his right hand forward into the platform, creating a dark vortex that seemed to summon the smallest black creatures I had encountered earlier. I quickly noticed that his hand was stuck in the wormhole and that his movements were slow. I used it to my advantage and struck the monster's hand many times while dodging attacks from small creatures.
After hitting the creature's hand several times, I then focused on eliminating the small creatures that had been conjured. I swung my sword to the left on one of the little dark creatures, then I swung my sword to the right on another dark creature.
Once I took care of them, I focused on the monster. I jumped back to the monster and struck the creature's head with a final, powerful blow. The giant monster roared in pain as it began to collapse. The sword disappeared from my hand and I jumped back to avoid the monster that crashed on the platform. The darkness began to spread all over the platform and caught me in the darkness. I tried to free myself from the darkness that consumed me slowly but in vain.
[Don't be afraid. You're holding the most powerful weapon of all. And don't forget.... ]
Just before I was swallowed by the darkness, I heard the voice talking to me one last time.
[You'll be the one to open the door.]
"Ha" I open my eyes and get up
"Dude, that was quite a dream. I wonder what all that was about.
"Um, my head feels like 100 trucks ran me over," I notice that I'm lying on a bed in some kind of infirmary and that I'm all alone inside
{ Host having slept in a bed your HP and MP are restored }
{ Host have pass the Keyblade awakening ceremony and prove that his heart is worthy of wield it , adds of the drive gauge }
"Wow, I remember when Grandpa made me meet Master Yen Sid and he told me that I had the potential to become a wielder but because of the state of my heart I wouldn't be able to pass the ceremony now that I no longer have any doubt in my heart I should go and pay him a little visit" suddenly my head is still hurting me
"Note to self no longer uses my Trigger more than 3 times in one day"
I notice that I can no longer deactivate my eyes, in other words, that I have to train to be able to control and deactivate them at will, but for the moment I will have to wear glasses that will be able to repress my vision for the moment.
I take a pair of glasses out of my inventory and enchant them with a spell I took from Grandpa's private collection. then put them on my face and my vision becomes normal then look around me again
"Now that I think about it, where am I?"
I get up and notice that my clothes are back to normal and that Excalibur is right next to me against the wall with my shoes at the foot of the bed
I take the sword and inspect it, then take out the equipment to maintain my swords and start polishing it, then put it in my body. Then I put on my shoes when the infirmary door opens, Rio, Natsumi, and Yoshinon the rabbit appears with Yoshino trying to hide behind the door
I watch the scene unfold with a smile on my face
"Hello young ladies and Usagi-san"
"My name is not Usagi-san, my name is Yoshinon"
"Sorry, your name is Yoshinon, it's a nice name my name is Zerono Pendragon but my friends call me Zerono or Zero"
"Nice to meet you, Zero-san,"
"Enchanted, Onii-chan my name is Natsumi" said a little girl with green hair
"Nice to meet you, Natsumi-chan, it's a very pretty name."
"Thank you" she answers me with a smile and a little blush
As for the last little girl with long plum hair reaching her legs. She tied her hair with a single braid and has a knot on the top of her head. His eyes have a deep color look at my emerald green eyes
"Uh, hello" I scratch my right cheek with a nervous smile at Rio's insistent look
"Dad" she screams as she throws herself at me and hugs me
" ... "Everyone turns to stone
"Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" Everyone's voices echo in the Fraxinus
As for me, I don't know why, but my heart is stopping beating.
'Moe~, it's not good, I think my heart won't hold.'
"Um, young lady, I think you got the wrong person, I'm not your... "
She looks at me with eyes almost in tears and like a plea bargain.
"Daddy is the daddy of Rio"
"But... "
"Hmmm~~" she starts to have tears in her eyes
"He makes her cry" say Natsumi and Yoshinon at the same time
"Okay, okay, I'm going to be your dad, don't cry," I say immediately, stroking her head to calm her down.
"Dad, I love you"
"I the black dragon have lost against a child if my enemies hear about this they will laugh at me all my life"
'Why am I complaining I have a daughter to pamper and spoiled I'm lucky enough '
"*GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR*" I put my hands on my stomach
"He he, sorry but I haven't eaten anything for a while, tell me there's a kitchen here?"
Yoshino shows his head and there nods to say yes and waves at me to follow her, I find myself walking in the Fraxinus EX of the virtual world with a group of loli that holds my hand, Yoshino looks at me with a curious look of so much as all that does it is smile at her, but I feel that I am being watched, I think others are watching me from the command room to see if I am a danger or not.
When I get to what looks like a kitchen, my chef's mind ignites and then I go to the fridge to see that it is full of ingredients, I told myself if I cook as much as I prepare something for everyone.
"Okay, everyone, I'll make dessert for you all. What do you want? "
"Hotcake," told me Yoshino with a smile
"I want a strawberry shortcake," asks Natsumi.
"I want to eat crepes, Daddy," Rio told me.
I write down their command "Okay, sit comfortably, I'll show you my why by calling me "The Kitchen Wizard" " and then look at a camera
"Everyone if you want some too, you're free to come and enjoy it with the others" I scream at the camera before taking a bandana out of my pocket and putting it on my face and rolling up my sleeves
"Yoch, now it's my stage."
I take out all the ingredients and all the utensils I start to preheat the oven then prepare the dough for the cakes I use my mastery of strengthening and my overdeveloped sense of smell to have the softest texture possible then bake 6 cake molds
Next, to it, I prepare the dough for the hotcakes and crepes, the fruits to accompany the cream for the icing.
"Whoa, who is this guy, he's moving at the speed of light?" Natsumi says trying to follow my movements.
"There's a good smell" Yoshino adds in addition
"Rio's daddy is the strongest in the world" ends Rio smiling
From the girl's point of view, it's like I'm moving at high speed.
After a good hour I completed the cakes with cream and fruit icing, then I garnished the hotcakes and pancakes and served them on plates, then I served the girls' orders on the table with tea and I put what was left with another dessert that I took out of the fridge on a cart with tea for everyone.
Then I headed to the command room on the way I met Reine the analyst of Ratastosk
"It seems you're awake."
"Yes, thank you for taking care of me, I made desserts for everyone as a thank you, you could take me to them"
"Yes, I was just about to take you to the commander, follow me"
"I forgot to introduce myself Zerono Pendragon Akatsuki"
"Reine Murasame, nice to meet you Z"
I arrive in the command room I am greeted by all members of Ratatoskr and on the commander's seat is Itsuka Kotorie
"Welcome to Ratastoskr, Onii-chan" said the red-haired girl with a smile
