In his room, a young man with dark hair and blue eyes found himself on his computer looked at his YouTube subscription list to see a new trailer of Kingdom Hearts 3. Like all fans of this saga of video games, he started the video just after seeing it in his list, a lot of what he thought was in the game was confirmed. A world on the Snow Queen, the discovery that Larxene is a member of the True Organization XIII. But there is one thing he did not see coming ...

The only thing he did not want to see...

Aqua with bleached hair and amber eyes and all that was visible from his darkened outfit.

In his head, two hypotheses appeared: either she had succumbed after having wandered so long in the darkness. Either she became one of Xehanort's 13 researchers of darkness... But either she had succumbed after having wandered so long in the darkness. When the time comes in the game, he will have to face it... And surely the killed...

This revelation does not only shock him. She destroyed it...

September 6, 2018

It had been 4 days since classes started again. And almost 3 months that the young man had heard the news. This was the beginning of mathematics classes, as in all other classes, he did not pay attention to what the teacher said and looked out the window, but. Where the other teachers have left him alone knowing him and suspecting that it is not for nothing that he is in this state, he walked towards him as he explains the lesson and once at his table Clapping his hands the resonant noise in the whole room startling the students except the person to whom this action is intended.

"Listen to me, Aaron! I doubt that he owes things to you that hurt you! But here, it's not your place! It's high school! So you'll be very good and focus on the course where I put you an hour of glue!" Shouted the teacher, giving the name of the young man who remained indifferent to his threat and did not move. "And you'll look at me when I talk to you!" Shouted again the teacher before grabbing him by the hair to force him to look at him.

But what the teacher saw in Aaron's eyes was not the look he hoped to see. He wanted to see a look of anger and animosity for at least showing that he listens to it. Instead, he saw a look almost empty, uninterested and sad, as if tears wanted to escape and his eyes stopped them as he looked down. The teacher noticed something else too, his arms seemed leaner than at the end of the previous school year, as if he was eating only the bare minimum.

Suddenly, the bell rang and Aaron put away the little business he took out of his bag, got up and left in the direction of his next class while the grip of the professor's hand on his hair loosened.

"Hey, go back to your place the clock is me, understand!" Shouted the teacher so that Aaron did not care and through the door.

A little later, it's the sport class and Aaron and all the students are in the high school gym with punch bags out, while the teacher was doing his usual introductory speech, he left for On the first day, the students simply hit in bags or play friendly games with protections.

Aaron was the first student to do what he chose, the punch bags, but without the gloves, which the teacher noticed.

"Aaron, I said you had to put on some protections." Said the professor.

But Aaron did not listen to him and continued to hit the bag while the professor kept warning him. He finally grabbed his right arm, which ended with Aaron giving him a left hook in the ribcage where the heart was in full beating, letting go of Aaron's arm, which continued to hit the bag. strikes with more and more intensity. While a dialogue of the Kingdom Hearts 3 trailer sounded in his head.

"You're too late."

At that moment, he slammed into the punching bag while his hands were covered with blood from the blows in the bag.

Finally, several hours later, he was at home and took a sermon from his father for his attitude in high schools he ignored and went directly to his room where he collapsed on the bed after closing the lock of his door and put a headphone over his ears looping the theme of Aqua.

He doesn't even go downstairs to eat and stays on listening to the Aqua theme which makes it even more depressing for him now. But he does not care.

"All I wish... It happened enough to prevent that. And stop this crap review from being tampered with... be a keyblade master strong enough to help you and your friends..." Said Aaron in a whispering voice.

Suddenly, the box of his game lit up and he lost consciousness.

When he woke up, he found himself in a room that looked like anything but his, and even closer to Ventus in Kingdom Heart Birth By Sleep. By placing his left hand on his forehead, feeling a slight headache, he saw that his hand was wearing a glove with a kind of button on it and when he got up in a sitting position, he saw that he was no longer wearing his headphones and that his clothes were different.

He now wears a black T-shirt with white streaks reminiscent of veins entirely on top, topped with a white jacket with short sleeves and a black zipper, his right hand does not wear a glove, as a trousers a tracksuit of black sport with white zipper at the bottom of the legs and monochrome shoes with dark gray laces.

Seeing what room he is in and the change of clothes, he decided in doubt, to see if what he really wanted happened he held out his right hand to try to reveal a Keyblade and he arrived there with success, but the Keyblade he summoned surprised him.

Its stem has the appearance of blue energy blades of the boss that shines continuously. It has a theme related to time: the end of the stem looks like a watch or a chronometer, and the bit of the key is formed of points resembling clock hands; in addition, the key ring is an hourglass.

This is the No Name Keyblade.

The front door opened revealing a person who shocked Aaron, it's Aqua in the flesh. But it's the same look as in Birth By Sleep, showing that she has not yet succumbed, and even showing that it's at least shortly before the game starts. And given the face they both are equally shocked at each other's eyes.

"Master! He's awake!" She shouted as she walked out of the room quickly to warn her master.

Aaron blinked several times, wondering if it was not the overdose of Kingdom Hearts music that made him see that.

Later, Aqua's master, Eraqus arrives in the room alone while Aaron gets up and stretched.

"Then there's another keyblade master outside me, Yen Sid, and Xehanort." Said Eraqus.

"What?" Asked Aaron wondering if he course.

"You don't have to hide it from us. My friend, Yen Sid couldn't see things about you. You are a master like us, however, he doesn't know anything about your training or why you appeared unconscious in the courtyard of this castle. "Said Eraqus.

"I'll do better to play the game." Aaron thought, before making his Keyblade appear again and looking at Eraqus with a serious look.

"Yeah. But sorry for you the way I got here is the black hole. No memory. By the way, my name is Aaron." Said Aaron introducing himself to Eraqus.

"Nice to meet you, I'm Eraqus. It's nothing. We will find an explanation." Said Eraqus before directing a hand toward the door. "I would like us to go to the class to assess your abilities." He said.

Aaron removed his Keyblade and walked out of the room before being guided by Eraqus outside to a field where Aqua and his friends Terra and Ventus were training, fighting each other and stopping when they saw Eraqus and Aaron came to them and bowed before standing upright.

"Hello to you, my name is Aaron. It is a pleasure to meet you." Said Aaron politely introduced himself, before the 3 students showed up before Erqus spoke.

"I'd like one of you to fight it, each one to judge his abilities." Said Eraqus.

"But why, master? It is also a master of the Keyblade too so why evaluate it." Asked Ventus.

"Because I want to know what kind of master of the Keyblade he is." Said Eraqus exposing discretely doubts about membership in light or darkness Aaron.

"I'm here in case you forgot. And I admit that I am curious about their level. I'm not against it, but I do not want to risk one of them being hurt." Said Aaron.

"You'll only have to restrain yourself." Said Eraqus showing he will not let Aaron avoided this test.

"Ok." Said Aaron, shrugging his shoulders before revealing his Keyblade.

"Terra, you'll start." Said Eraqus before Terra conjured his keyblade and stood before Aaron.

" Are you ready." Asked Terra.

" I am waiting for you." Said Aaron feeling his instincts take over.

Terra started to attack Aaron who dodged him and used his Keyblade to attack him and when Terra parried him, he dropped his Keyblade making Terra believe that he would attack by showing his Keyblade in his hand to surprise him and lead his Keyblade to ward off the future assault. But he grabbed it in his left hand holding it upside down to successfully hit his chest using the surprise effect. Terra resumed the fight by adapting to Aaron's tactics, but he changed to a quick and agile style combining punch and foot in addition to the Keyblade before Terra found himself on the ground. He was getting ready to get up. But Aaron found himself in front of him his Keyblade a few inches from his heart before spreading it and extending his hand to help him with this statement. What he accepted.

"Good fight." Said Aaron with a friendly smile.

"Thank you. I didn't expect a change of style of combat so fast. Said Terra giving him the same smile.

"Well... who's next"? Asked Aaron.

Ventus despite being seen the stinging defeat of Terra was devoted to at least tried his luck. They get ready for the fight and once he starts, Ventus attacks smoothly and quickly while Aaron just defensively aiming at the legs in his attacks as Ventus dodges before taking a hit with his grip. Keyblade returned from Aaron in the belly.

" That's enough. At Aqua's turn." Said Eraqus ending the fighting Aqua seeing the shot in the stomach was strong while Ventus was assisted by Aaron to join Eraqus Aqua and Terra while it directed to the party served Arena.

Aaron stood in front of Aqua a few feet away and changed his fighting posture with a break similar to that of Aqua, but with his left hand in the back.

"You will not hold you back, I hope?" Said Aqua wondering why he changes his fighting stance.

"If that's what you hope for, no luck, I'm for gender equality." Said Aaron before the fight started.

Aqua attacked Aaron in whatever way she could, but unfortunately for her, he saw them all and attacked directly as if he did not want to waste time. Then when their Keyblade finally get in touch with each other and he settles, Aaron rethought having succumbed in the trailer and lowered his guard making it won surprising everyone except Aaron whose heart was beating too fast to this focused on what happened.

"Good game." Congratulated Aaron getting up.

"Thank you. You're doing well, too." Said Aqua before Erqus stepped between them.

"Aqua, go with Ventus and Terra. It's me tested its strength now." Said Eraqus showing his keyblade.

Eraqus attacked Aaron directly without giving him the time to prepare and Aaron managed to retaliate as a realization hit him. Xehanort is not the only fool in all the shit that has happened. Eraqus was indirectly responsible for it by inviting Xehanort to examine the Terra and Aqua mastery symbol by naivety, he would not have tampered with the ordeal for Terra to use darkness during the ordeal. Nothing that awaits them would have happened.

Looking back at Aaron, he let himself get carried away by anger and dominated Eraqus with the same techniques as Eraqus 'three apprentices, but realizing that he was getting too brutal grabbed Eraqus' Keyblade and made his own disappear.

"I'm giving up." Said Aaron acknowledging that by being carried away, he lost.

"Aqua, Terra, Ventus, can you leave us alone with him?" Asked what Eraqus those apprentices was immediately made.

"You acted wisely. When you realized that you let the darkness take you away, you decided to calm down and end the fight." Said Eraqus.

"No. I stopped, because I knew that if I continued my anger go get carried away. That's all." Said Aaron as an idea crossed his mind.

"Anger leads to darkness." Retorted Eraqus.

"Terra, yet he has it in him." Said Aaron making widen eyes Eraqus. "And yes, I noticed it. But I think I know how at least the attenuated ones. Said Aaron.

"Really?" Asked Eraqus.

"Yeah. I suggest that you teach your students how to ignore this constant temptation when you face creatures of darkness." Aaron suggested.

"And what can I trust you to do?" Asked Eraqus.

"Nothing. Except that I'm not like your black coat friend. I don't know maybe not how I arrived, but I remember why I wanted to be here. When I heard about this place, I wanted to come to help you keep your students away from darkness." Said Aaron lying for his plan to succeed.

Eraqus thinks for a few seconds before accepting his proposal and telling his students that Aaron will also teach them things for some of their training time.
