Corbax nodded, "Alright... Yin, Yang, reveal yourselves!" out from the seals on the back of his hands, the two regal wolves appearing from them, landing behind Setsuna. Corbax looked to the two, nodding to them. THey nodded back.
"Close your eyes, Setsuna. Go to your heart. We will do the rest." At that point, Yin, sensing Setsuna's heart was feeling no emotion, began to fill hie heart with light.
At that moment, heartless began to form, starting with Shadows... progressing to menacing heartless, like Neoshadows and Giant Shadows. Corbax summoned his blades, preparing for the worst...

Setsuna closed his eyes and focused on his breathing - but then he found he was light-headed. "Corbax, I--" and then he collapsed, fainting. ... ... "Ugh..." he felt the area around him. Cold and smooth, not unlike... glass? He slowly got up, looking at the mosaic that appeared before him. "I've been here before... but something's different." He summoned his shield, only to behold that Illusions were surrounding him, blades pointed at him. "What's this!? I thought you were my allies!?"
You are no longer our master. We must reclaim your heart for Kingdom Hearts so that we may become whole again.
In answer, Setsuna swept his shield in a 360-degree arc, smashing through the Illusions present, destroying a few outright. As the Nobodies began firing bolts of energy at him, he cast Reflect to send the shots back at them. He felt himself being stabbed through the back, and pain lanced up his back. He turned around and slammed the shield onto the attacker, which caused the platform to shatter.
As he and the Illusions fell, he began maneuvering in the air, using his shield as a "surfboard". He would move over to an Illusion, engage in a brief fistfight, and move onto another.
He scooped up one of their blades before it disappeared and it stayed with him. He began to slash and slice through the oncoming horde even as they fell. Eventually, he felt his strength wane, and as all seemed lost...
...he landed heavily on another platform, this one seeming sinister in appearance. This one was black and white; a yin-yang symbol. The Illusions vanished. Setsuna, bleeding in numerous places, cast Cure to heal himself, and then let the Illusory Sword disappear. "So what happens next?" he wondered aloud.

On the outside, Yin had paused her light dealing, feeling Setsuna's heart shift into light. It was Yang's turn to begin the process of forming darkness. And in good timing. The heartless had been practically mutilating Corbax with how his clothing was torn in numerous places. He stood before many high level heartless, before the darkness that Yang was radiating absorbed them, setting them within Setsuna's heart. Corbax blinked, panting heavily. This was his break time... even if it were only for a few seconds. The second wave was approaching when Dusks began to materialize in front of him...
Within Setsuna's heart, the stained glass was beginning to return to its original form as it was in Setsuna's memory... But within the heart, the Illusions weren't going to quit. Or rather, an enormous Illusion...

(OOC: I want to listen to Tension Rising while I'm posting this because it reminds me of the Twilight Thorn.) Setsuna looked at the gigantic Illusion. "So this is my punishment for simply wanting my heart back?!" he yelled at it. It stomped down, cracking the glass, and Setsuna stumbled back. Setsuna swung his shield at its leg and was dismayed as it bounced off. He evaded or blocked every blow it leveled at him, but in turn, none of his attacks were proving to be effective. Finally, it connected with a solid blow, winding him and knocking him down. I've failed... he thought as it prepared to stomp on him. But then he felt something. Something... something in his heart. A knight doesn't use just a shield to protect others... he must also use a sword as well! With that thought, the area shined brightly, driving the Illusory Beast back. Setsuna gasped as he held something he only read about in his left hand - a giant key! A... a keyblade! Am I really an ancestor of one of the Keyblade Masters from the Keyblade War?(OOC: His keyblade is on the left in this picture: fc09.deviantart.net/fs22/f/2007/364/e/9/Triplet_by_suburbbum.jpg ) He quickly rolled out of the way of the incoming stomp and jumped high, stabbing it in the groin area - it went through and it seemed to deal a massive amount of damage - it staggered back and it paused. It swung its sword down at him, which Setsuna deflected with his right-handed shield and swung his left-handed keyblade, connecting with another hit. Setsuna slashed again and again until it slumped over, fading away. Panting, Setsuna looked at his keyblade. "I know what I am now..." the light grew bright again. ... ... Setsuna awoke, springing to his feet, his shield appearing in his right hand and his new keyblade appearing in his left. "You want to mess with me!? You're going to have to mess with a Keyblade Master!" The Nobodies paused. Setsuna walked in front of Corbax. "Take ten, Corbax. I've got this." He pointed with his keyblade again and they all stepped back. "Command them to leave, Corbax. Now. Or I'll be forced to make them."

Yin and Yang's eyes flashed suddenly. The darkness faded away, and the Nobodies, after lowering themselves to what Setsuna held, abruptly disappeared.
Corbax stared, unable to comprehend what had just happened, panting heavily, "Setsuna... you... have a keyblade?" he panted, "I... I don't believe--" Suddenly, his head sparked and his eyes dilated. A memory had forced its way into Corbax... Thirteen.... Twenty-six... Light and Dark.... Within an instant, he had passed out on the ground...

"Corbax! No!" Setsuna lifted him up and concentrated, casting Cure on them both. But he also lifted Corbax up, piggyback style, and walked towards the library, his weapons clattering onto the ground and disappearing.
As he walked, waiting for any time that Corbax might awaken, thoughts ran wildly through his head. That purple train rejected him from the start, but since he had a keyblade now, would that change?
He opened the door to the library and lowered Corbax into a soft leather chair, rifling around in the desk's mini fridge for any sort of refreshment. In the end, he got out some soda and a Hi-Potion from the desk drawer itself. He placed them on a nearby table and waited.

...
...
...Thirteen...
..."Thirteen--?"
"Thirteen Lights and Thirteen Darknesses, yes. You are one of them. The Twelfth Darkness..."
"Why was I chosen?"
"That's something you need to figure out on your own. Cobra, as one of the Twenty-Six Deities of Balance, you must take the responsibilities of--"
"Balance?"
"No world can exist without light and darkness. Light serves as the good of the world; the purity that resides in people's hearts and souls. The other side, darkness, is the shadow that is cast by light. The impurity and purity balance each other, creating tranquility and equality, along with conflict, which provides--"
"So, as a demon, I have to fulfill my agenda of balancing--"
"In order to keep the worlds from falling into chaos, there must be balance."
"And you're a light too, right Felix? Is this how you know so much about--"
"I am one... I... I am----"
...
.....
......
Corbax awoke with a jolt, his eyes wide. He immediately tested his body out, flexing his hand. His gloves were lost in the fight, but that didn't stop him from narrowing his eyes on the spot on the back of his hand... the white spot, Yin.
"Balance..." he repeated, "No world... can exist without light and darkness... Light serves as the good of the world... the purity that resides in people's hearts and souls... The other side, darkness, is the shadow that is cast by light... The impurity and purity balance each other, creating tranquility and equality, along with conflict, which provides... provides new worlds to come into creation... Destruction of a world... will only bring forth a new one. Darkness destroys... Light recreates..." he placed the palm to his forehead, groaning at the throbbing in his head. The memory had finally planted itself in Corbax's head, as the throbbing only lasted for a while.
He sat up on the chair, having been slouched over, stretching a bit. "Setsuna, are you around?!" Corbax called, quickly noticing that he was just nearby, "Oh, Suna... Before I talk to you about something... important... How do you feel now? Are you... cured?"

Setsuna held out his hand, trying to summon an Illusion, but none came. "I think that pretty much settles it. I am now fine, thanks to you, and..." he held out his left hand, calling his keyblade to it, and it appeared. "I can't believe I'm a keyblade wielder... I've been chosen to fight the darkness... I call this Ancient Edge, and my shield, Destiny's Reflection. After all, a knight can't protect his charge with a mere shield..." he smirked. "He must also have a sword."
He then caught a look in Corbax's eye. "You look like you have something important to tell me. But I've felt... strange." He presses his hand against his chest. "I feel whole and healthy, but it feels different than before."

Corbax looked to Setsuna, "It may be the keyblade... that somehow made it to your hand..." he was oddly calm about the situation, "Strange... It was kept from you for so long..."
He looked away, "I had a dream about him. Cobra. My... my other. He was speaking to someone who looked like him... yet he had shortened hair and... unearthly blue eyes. He had authority with his gaze, from what I remember... like a king. He spoke about... balance. Light and dark..." he looked up to Setsuna, "They spoke of... 'demons' possibly something much stronger than heartless. Twenty-Six deities..." he paused, not wanting to go further on, rambling, "My other... apparently is an apparition of darkness."

(OOC: Gonna be short...)
Setsuna blinked. "Apparition of darkness...? What do you propose we do now, Corbax?"

Corbax shrugged, "So much has happened now..." he sighed, "I guess we wait it out more..." he looked to Setsuna, "So... what say you we get some ice-cream? I think we deserved some..."
