Vanitas stood, his power making the air around him quiver. The stained glass below him warped under the force from him. Below, Ventus lay, slowly fading away into shards of light. Vanitas’s malevolent chuckle grew until his laugh echoed into the surrounding black nothingness. He closed his eyes, clenching his hand around the X-blade as it became more tangible, more powerful, more a part of himself...

And then he felt it again as he opened his eyes, knowing exactly what he’d done. His eyes were briefly not his own, but now... Now he could claim what was rightfully his. Vanitas looked down with this body at Aqua and the pathetic little mouse as they laid there, flattened. He shook his blonde-haired head as each strand began to slowly blacken. With a smirk, he held his X-blade aloft. At the tip a great orb of darkness formed and enveloped him... And beyond...

The world began to sizzle with flames of darkness that cut through the earth itself, creating winds of fire that evaporated all traces of water from the already desolate landscape. The Keyblades there broke up, shattered and powdered by the darkness. Cliff faces disintegrated. All traces of life, save for himself, were wiped clean.

Vanitas stood there, his own master, master of his new domain, and soon, master of all domains. He could do as he pleased. And from here, he could claim Kingdom Hearts for himself when he tired of watching worlds fight and fall for it.

Raising high the X-blade, Vanitas smirked, feeling the energy pulse through it and into him... But the energy began to throb painfully. However, Vanitas, with all his pride, neither stopped smirking and holding on. He gritted his teeth as pain began to beat its way through his arms, and then deep into his ribs.

His whole body began to burn, and the X-blade began to rise upwards very slowly, Vanitas in tow. But as the pain grew, the smile finally began to wane. Something was very wrong as the weapon began to move without his commands. The weapon turned, whipping Vanitas around, once, then twice with such vigor even Vanitas couldn’t hold on. The masked boy landed on the ground, but as the pain ebbed he was quick to flip himself back onto his feet.

Above him the X-blade turned, power streaming from it in all directions and blowing Vanitas’s hair back. With each stream of energy that hit the ground, malformed keyholes appeared and evaporated into the air. Slowly the X-blade turned to point at Vanitas. Quite suddenly, the sureness the dark boy had ebbed, leaving him very aware of his own heartbeat. He held up his hand, trying to summon his own Keyblade, but found it would not come. As something so connected to his heart, it was now a part of the weapon looming above him.

And with no warning, the X-blade moved so fast not even Vanitas’s eyes could track it. He was aware of the blade being lodged into the ground behind him before he could even feel the pain. He looked back as he fell, seeing his own glimmering heart skewered by the X-blade as he was about to hit the ground.

Vanitas shot up from where he’d been laying, instantly on his feet and summoning his Keyblade. Void Gear sliced through a pillar with ease, causing part of the building to crumble slightly before Vanitas realized what had happened.

“...A nightmare. Hmph. That’s new.”

Looking away from that damaged portion of the abandoned building, he saw a wall decimated, the edges singed. He could feel that darkness moving away even further from him, and knew what had come of the nightmare.

Vanitas simply shrugged, not caring about what he’d just unleashed on the city. His mind was focused on one thing. When he formed the X-blade again, he’d be sure to keep control of it. As he left the building, he exercised his power one last time, slicing through another pillar and letting the building crumble behind him as he sauntered out.
