30 minutes ago. Inside a dark alleyway.


Walking down an alleyway at the dead of night, a young man casually walked between a row of worn-down buildings, wearing a silk pants and a casual shirt. But as the man continued to walk down the alleyway, Rat came from out of the shadows, standing right in front of the man as she confronted him.


Rat: Well well well. Look what I found. Though I gotta say you look far too nicely dressed to be walking around these parts. And you don't seem lost neither.


????: That's right. I'm not lost. I was actually looking for you and your little friend from the other night. And since she's not with you right now, she's probably hiding somewhere around here isn't she.


Rat: Oh. Well my my. You must be a fan of ours. But sad to say, my friend had an errand to deal with. But she should be back shortly.


????: Oh good. This makes things easier! Because I'm here to take back what you and your partner stole from me the last time!


The man reached into his pocket, where he revealed a knife. Seeing this, Rat stayed her distance, knowing it would be reckless and stupid to charge at him unarmed.


But as she saw the man take a stance to fight, she could easily tell that they had no experience being in an actual fight, seeing an opportunity of when to make a counterattack.


????: With your partner not around you're just all brawn and no brains!


When the man charged at Rat, she quickly stepped to the side, dodging her attacker, and followed it with a swift left knee to the man's stomach. The moment he felt the pain surge through his body, his legs buckled, causing him to fall to his knees in front of Rat.


Rat: You really think just because my friend isn't around that I don't know what to do?! You think I'm that stupid?!


Rat quickly raised her right leg up towards the man's face, making him feel the full impact of her kick. This caused the man to tumble and fall on his back, feeling pain on his stomach, and his face.


Rat then approached the man, where she kicked away his knife, and began to empty out his pockets, emptying out all of the money he had and taking any jewelry the man had on him.


Rat: Wow. You're carrying a hefty load of cash tonight. But this is only half of the amount from the last time.


With nothing left to steal from the man, Rat picked up the knife that was still on the ground, and took it for herself. Having gotten what she wanted; Rat began to walk away. But as she did, the man began to cough, trying his best to talk.


????: Why.....why do you do this?


Rat: It's nothing personal. We all have to make a living. Unfortunately for me and my partner, this is the only way.


????: No......I don't mean by that.......I mean why do you do this........even though you are rich?


Rat: I don't know what you're talking about.


????: Yes you do...... you're Rat. The girl who was said to be rich. But why are you doing this?


Rat: What business is it of yours on what I do?


????: Because......I heard you tried to get a job.....but you quit for no reason......you even went from what you had but there was no reason.....


Hearing this, Rat began to scowl at the man. She felt like this man had been stalking her. But she knew it may be due to people following her accounts on the internet.


Rat: Yeah? And so what if I did. We all need a break now and then.


????: But not you though.....you always want to do something that's fun......and cool......but I guess I know now......you are only doing this because of that little bitch......you felt sorry for her and wanted to be her friend......even if she is worthless scum for making you do stuff like mugging people......


The moment Rat heard the man talk badly and disrespectful towards Yoko, she lost control of her temper, and began to furiously kick the man in the gut repeatedly. With each kick yelling at the man.


Rat: Don't! You! Dare! Talk! About! My! Friend! That! Way! You! Arrogant! Asshole!


Rat continued to kick the already downed man. However, as she was about to give one punch to them, her right arm was grabbed from behind, stopping her from going any further.


????: Rat. That's enough! He cannot do you any harm.


Turning to see who caught her arm, Rat looked over her shoulder. There, she saw the caped crusader who she had heard a lot about that roamed the streets at night who fought crime. It was the Black Bunny.


Rat: This bastard deserved it! Nobody mocks my friends and gets away with it!


Black Bunny: If you continue to hurt him. I will have no choice but to bring you to the authorities.


Hearing this, Rat knew she was cornered. She could fight, but she knew she couldn't go up against an armed vigilante. With some thought, Rat calmed down, no longer wanting to cause anymore violence.


Rat: So..... what happens now. You gonna make me give back his money?


Black Bunny: That would be the obvious thing to do. But I know about you and how you have been looking after your friend, Yoko. I know this isn't the lifestyle you want her to live, but I know you don't mean to give her a handout. So, the answer is no. But I would suggest you take Yoko's advice. Don't blow it all on beer Alone.


Rat: So. I guess you have been watching us this whole time.


Black Bunny: I have. Making sure you two didn't go too far with your act-


????: What the hell is all of this bullshit!


Hearing the sudden outburst, Rat and the Black Bunny turned to the man in the ground, who had just yelled out to the both of them.


????: You're the Black Bunny. The vigilante who captures bad guys and puts them in jail. So why the hell Haven't you arrested her yet?!


Black Bunny: You can call this, Karma. After all, last time I checked, the money you had with you the other knight, you stole it from the Casino when chaos erupted. So in all fairness, this is just something coming back to haunt you.


The man couldn't speak. He clenched his fists as he gave a scowl to both the Black Bunny and Rat. He had been found out, and in the end was not in any position to get anything back.


????: You're just full of crap. You know that?! You fight for justice! And yet where is the Justice in the here and now?! I never stole any money! None! I was just taking back what they swindled from me! That casino tried to take away what I earned. I just got it back! And nobody is going to take away what's mine!


The man, though beaten and bloodied, began to stand up non his own. As he did, his hair draped over his eyes as his head slouched down. They may not have been able to really see his eyes, but Rat and the Black Bunny knew he was looking at them with malice.


????: You're just as bad as Rat over there Black Bunny. I will get back What's mine. Both of you will pay. Mark my words. You will both pay! Both of you and that bitch in the glasses!


Rat: Call my friend a bitch! I dare you! Say that aga-


Rat completely stopped yelling at the man as she began to see a very dark aura around them. It didn't look like much to her, but she had a bad feeling about it.


Rat: What the Hell is that?


Black Bunny: I don't know. I've never seen something like this happen.


????: The anger I feel. The rage I feel building inside me. Nobody is going to stop me from getting what was taken from me!


The dark aura around the man increased, giving out a very menacing appearance. As this happened, small pockets of shadows began to move around on their own, as small hands and claws began to pop out towards the surface. Little by little, the hands and claws came out, belonging to small and somewhat hunched dark creatures with yellow beady eyes. Each of them was appearing right around the man, all of them getting closer and closer to him. To Rat and the Black Bunny's surprise, they didn't know what was going on.


????: What the hell are these things?! Get away from me!


Rat: What are those things?!


Black Bunny: Your guess is as good as mine! But they're going after that guy! I have to stop them!


The Black Bunny charged towards the man, as the dark creatures pounced on him, making him fall to the ground. The Black Bunny could hear the screams and cries of the man, shouting as he was being overwhelmed by the creatures. When the Black Bunny made it, he began to grab each creature and throw them to the side, doing all he could to reach the man. However, when the Black Bunny hurled away 2 of the creatures, the screams of the man stopped, and the dark creatures stopped moving. But this didn't stop the Black Bunny from reaching in and throwing them off of the man. When the Black Bunny hurled the last creature away, he was surprised to see that there was no body of the man at all. In the place where the man once was, now laid a very bright and shining Heart, floating slightly above the ground.


Black Bunny: I have never seen somebody disappear like this. But it's safe to assume that guy is no longer alive.


Curious about the Heart that was now in front of him, the Black Bunny reached out to it. However, before he could get a hold of it, shrouds of darkness and the dark creatures began to swirl all around it. With each second, more and more shadows and dark creatures surrounded the Heart, as the Heart itself began to fly higher and higher off of the ground. Seeing what was going on, the Black Bunny knew something big was about to happen, and was not going to have anyone around them be put in mortal danger.


Without thinking twice, the Black Bunny turned around to face Rat, as he began to run.


Black Bunny: We have to get away from here! NOW!!!


Rat: Why?! You know what's going on?!


Black Bunny: No I don't! But I do know that when something like this happens, it's never good. And with all of those dark creatures forming around what was left of that guy, something big is going to show up!


The Black Bunny looked back again at the swirling darkness surrounding the Heart. As the darkness got bigger, it completely engulfed the heart, and caused the lights near it to flicker out or get destroyed. But when the lights were all out around it, both the Black Bunny and Rat noticed something. It because very quiet. The swirling noises they heard completely stopped. All that was in the area that was completely blacked out, was one faint glow. A yellow glow that was a little over above the rooftops of the run-down buildings around them. The Black Bunny reached into his Easter basket, and quickly threw a few egg bombs at the darkness that was in front of them. As the egg bombs went off, both could only see a brief flash at what was hiding in the dark, but not enough to see what it was exactly. But in retaliation to the egg bombs being thrown, from out of the shroud of darkness, a large metal dumpster container came out of it, hurled from the ground and right towards the Black Bunny and Rat.


Rat: Woah!


The Black Bunny and Rat got out of the dumpster's trajectory, avoiding a fatal hit from it.


Rat: Damn that was close!


Black Bunny: We have no choice. We have to run!


Rat: Run?! You?! Aren't you supposed to stop things like this?!


Black Bunny: Rat! Think! Right now we're in an alleyway! With people inside these buildings. Whatever was able to hurl a dumpster at is strong enough to cause massive damage, even destroying a few buildings! That's why I need your help with this.


The Black Bunny reached out and handed several egg bombs to Rat.


Rat: What am I going to do with these?


Black Bunny: It's simple. We hurl these at whatever is there to lure it out of the alleyways and out into a large open place with nobody around. That way there will be nobody to get hurt from whatever Monster is here. Now come on!


The Black Bunny threw a few more egg bombs at the shroud of darkness, which then began to go after the two. As the Monster got closer to them, the Black Bunny and Rat made a run for it, each of them throwing an egg bomb one after another to keep the attention of the creature that was hiding in the darkness. Both of them knew the plan was working in their favour, as they heard the sounds of large footsteps that was heading towards the Black Bunny and Rat. Running as fast as they could, both the Black Bunny and Rat made a quick right turn, running through the alleyways that was in front of them. As they did, the sounds of large footsteps could be heard coming towards them, as well as the sounds of buildings being damaged and dumpsters getting thrown to the side or being destroyed


Rat: Can't you just use your grappling hook to get to the rooftops?!


Black Bunny: I can! But I won't!


Rat: Are you serious?!


Black Bunny: Think about this for one second! Every building we are surrounded by are runned down and crumbling! If I use my grapple gun on any of these buildings, a brick can easily come loose and we'll both fall to the ground!


Rat: Yeah. I don't really trust these buildings neither. But what can we do?! We can't just keep running away! It will run amok!


Black Bunny: I wish I knew how to stop something that Supernatural!


As the Black Bunny and Rat continued to run away from the Mysterious Monster that was after them, both of them saw something was heading towards them. When it got closer and closer to them, the Black Bunny reached into his Easter basket, ready to throw a few egg bombs at what was coming towards them. However, he was quickly stopped by Rat.


Rat: Wait! I think I know who that is!


The Black Bunny and Rat started to see that it wasn't something, but someone. That someone who was coming towards them was waving their right arm up into the air, getting their attention.


????: Rat! Rat! I found you!


Rat knew the voice of the person, and when they were right in front of The Black Bunny and Rat, Rat knew exactly who it was. Right in front of them, was Rat's friend Yoko.


Yoko: Rat! I finally found you! And who is this guy?


Black Bunny: I am the Justice that hops in the night,...


I am the stale marshmallow chick at the bottom of your Easter basket,...


I am The Black Bunny!!


After the Black Bunny had introduced himself, Yoko didn't really know what to say, or what to think of the Black Bunny.


Yoko:.......Right.


Rat: He's being serious, Yoko! He is this city's caped crusader!


Yoko: Then why is this the first I am only hearing of him?!


Rat: I assumed you already knew! But we don't have time for this. Right now there's something that has been chasing after us!


Yoko: Really?! What is it?!


Rat: We don't know. But ever since it has been chasing us, all we have heard were bricks falling to the ground, light bulbs breaking, and metal dumpsters getting thrown. We can't even see what it is except for one yellow glowing dot through the dark shadows it seems to be hiding in.


Yoko: Glowing......eye?


Yoko looked behind the Black Bunny and Rat, where she saw what both of them were talking about. Yoko could feel something was getting closer to them, and was made more apparent as she saw the street lights several years away beginning to die out, with the bulbs exploding. With the lights dying out, the dark areas around the area were completely pitch black, with the moonlight not being able to shine any light as to what was causing it. But that's when Yoko saw it. Through the darkness, she spotted a single, glowing, yellow eye. The moment she saw it, she knew exactly what it was. A Heartless.


Yoko: Guys. You two have to run. Now!


Rat: And what are you going to do?! Fight that thing?!


Yoko: I am.


Black Bunny: This is no time to risk your life! We don't know what that thing is! We need to fall back!


Yoko: But I know exactly what that is! It's a Heartless!


Rat: A what?!


Suddenly, from the shadows around Yoko, Rat, and the Black Bunny, several Shadow Heartless appeared all around, surrounding the group.


Rat: Aww man. Not these little buggers again!


Black Bunny: Get behind me!


Before the Black Bunny could ready himself, the Shadow Heartless quickly leapt forward, ready to strike at all three of them. However, in an instant, the Shadow Heartless that had surrounded them were all gone with a swift blur. The Black Bunny and Rat didn't know what had just happened. That was until they turned to see Yoko, who was in a battle stance, wielding a Keyblade with her right hand.



Rat: Yoko. What did you just do? And what in the World are you holding?!


Yoko: Rat. I can explain everything later. Right now, you and Black Bunny have to get out of here. Trust me. It's me who they want.


Black Bunny: Why do they want you though?


Yoko: Because of who I am. But that doesn't matter right now. I'll lure the monster away from you two and away from here! Just get somewhere safe!


Rat: Yoko, wait!


Yoko quickly ran off towards the Monster that was chasing them, with Rat not being able to get her attention.


Black Bunny: It's best we do get somewhere safe like your friend says.


Rat: But what about her?!


Black Bunny: If you have trust in Yoko, then believe that she knows what she's doing.


Rat knew what the Black Bunny said was true. She needed to have confidence and trust that Yoko would come back safe.


Rat: Fine then. Let's go.


The Black Bunny and Rat resumed to their running, getting as far away from the creature that was chasing them as possible. Yoko continued to run directly towards the mysterious Heartless that had been chasing the Black Bunny and Rat, hoping that her friend and the vigilante she just met were running away. When Yoko got close enough to the creature, she came to a stop, leaving some distance between her and the Heartless. Even when she was at close range, she still couldn't tell what Heartless it was. But when she saw how high up the glowing yellow eye was, she knew it was a really large Heartless. Only problem now, was what Heartless was it exactly?


Yoko: I really thought when I found myself in this World with Jinx, AJ, and Woods, we thought we were finally free from dealing with you freaks. Guess that was just wishful thinking.


The Heartless that was in front of Yoko didn't say nor do anything. All it did was stay right where it was.


Yoko: I know what you want. You want me because I am a wielder of the Keyblade. Well guess what. You want me. You gotta catch me first!


Yoko immediately dashed away from the Heartless as fast as possible. As she did this, the Heartless began to pursue her, attracted to the Keyblade she possessed. Yoko made sharp turns around the alleyways, heading down narrow pathways. But when she was doing this, she could hear the sounds of bricks breaking off, lights getting smashed, and dumpsters getting thrown off the ground.


Okay. Seeing how huge this thing was, it is a really tall Heartless. But which one is it? The Trickmaster? The Trickmaster Omega? Nah., They had two eyes not one!


As Yoko continued to run through the alleyways, she spotted a set of Emergency stairs in front of her. The moment she reached it, Yoko jumped to her right, and began to perform the same trick she used when she ran away from the Wasp girl from the night before. Yoko made a sharp right, ran up the wall to her side for a couple of steps up, jumped to the other side, where she caught on the metal railings for a fire exit. Yoko proceeded to hoist herself up, make it on the emergency stairways, and ran up to the top. But as she was nearing her way to the rooftop, Yoko made a quick glance behind her, only to find that the Heartless was right behind her. As Yoko took her final step to reach the rooftop, the emergency stairways that Yoko was just running on collapsed, getting destroyed by the Unknown Heartless that was chasing her. But even after narrowly escaping tragedy, Yoko made it to the rooftop. The moment she made it, she immediately began to sprint across rooftop after rooftop, getting away from the large Heartless. However, as she was running, several Heartless appeared right in front of her. Without slowing down or stopping, Yoko continued to run forward. When she was right in front of the Heartless, Yoko used Zantesuken on all of the Heartless that were in her way. In an instant, Yoko disappeared from their line of view, where she reappeared right behind them in a pose. A few seconds later, the Heartless that once we're in Yoko's way were cut in two, being defeated in one move. Seeing what she had accomplished, Yoko could do nothing but feel Hearty and cheerful.


Yoko: Hahaha! Yes! Man this takes me back to how it was back in Daybreak Town!


Without warning, as Yoko had her head up towards the night sky, a large shadow towered over her, as a large object was coming down towards her at a very fast speed. Yoko stopped being cheerful, as her mood went from feeling happy and confident, to fear and trying to survive. Yoko, out of reflex to dodge the attack, somersaulted to the side, dodging the large object that tried to land on her. As soon as Yoko was back on her feet, she turned towards what tried to crush her, but saw it was too dark to see. However, she was shocked to see the very large Heartless had made its way from street level, to the rooftops of the buildings she was on.


Yoko: I'm tired of playing guessing games. Good thing I was able to snatch this.


Yoko reached into her left pocket, and took out an egg. More specifically, a special flashbang egg that Yoko stole from the Black Bunny's Easter Basket.


Yoko: Now Let's see what the darkness is hiding!


Yoko threw the egg towards the dark shroud that was in front of her, quickly closing and shielding her eyes before the egg went off. When it did, the egg exploded with a very bright and blinding flash of light, stunning the mysterious Heartless, and caused the dark shroud that was hiding its identity to completely dissipate, revealing the Heartless. The Heartless was as tall as a Trickmaster and a Trickmaster Omega, but was neither one of them. The Heartless carried two batons, but on each end was shaped like that of an egg, but had spikes protruding from them. The Heartless had an egg-shaped head, along with an egg-shaped Crown on top, with the Heartless emblem stamped on it. However, the Heartless had only one eye, as the other was closed and had a scar going across it.


Yoko: The Egg Master!


Seeing what she was now up against, Yoko started to run again, going from rooftop to rooftop, as the Egg Master began to chase her, swinging its egg batons trying to strike her.


Yoko: I need to get off the rooftops. I’m honestly surprised they can hold the weight of that giant thing!


As Yoko continued to run, she looked up ahead of her, and saw that the next building rooftop she was going to cross would be the end of the road for her, due to their being no more buildings onward from there.


Yoko: Damn! There's no way for me to get down from here! Looks like I have no choice but to make one for myself!


The moment Yoko's feet started to run across the last rooftop, she held out her Keyblade in front of her, as a bright beam of light shot out of the tip of her Keyblade. When the beam of light reached the end of the roof, it created a light blue portal. Without stopping or slowing down, Yoko continued to run, as she dashed right into the portal.


Back at ground level, near the end of an alleyway, a light blue portal suddenly appeared out of thin air. Out of the portal, Yoko came running out from it.


Yoko: At least being able to make portals comes in handy for these situations!


Yoko continued to run until she was at the end of the alleyway. However, when she was heading out of there, Yoko felt a large tremor coming from behind her. Yoko turned her head, as she saw the Egg Master Heartless had jumped from the rooftop and was now on ground level again, continuing to pursue Yoko.


Yoko: You just won't quit, will you!


Once out of the alleyway, she saw that she was now at the park near her home. The same park that she had a run-in with Diamonds. At the same time Yoko ran out of the alleyway, Yoko heard yelling from her right side.


????: Rat! Now!


Rat: Got it!


Yoko turned to her sides, and that where she saw The Black Bunny and Rat, working together as they lifted up a metal wire that was connected to the Black Bunny's utility belt. When the Egg Master reached the end of the alleyway, the Black Bunny and Rat lifted the metal wire. To their good fortune, the Egg Master Heartless lifted its left foot up, getting caught in the metal wire. The Black Bunny and Rat continued to hold onto the wire, as they witnessed the Heartless continue to lean forward. The Heartless continued to lean forward, until there was no doubt, when the Egg Master continued to move forward, but was about to fall face first. Seeing the Heartless about to fall, Yoko ran as far away as she could away from the Egg Master. However, as the Egg master was falling, the metal wire that was used to trip it got caught around its feet, making the Black Bunny and Rat fall forward down to the ground. Seeing her friend fall to the ground, Yoko became worried, and rushed to her friend's aide.


Yoko: Rat! Are you alright?!


Rat: Yeah. I'm alright. Just some scratches is all so it's nothing. But I have to ask you now. What the Hell is that thing?!


Yoko: That's a Heartless, Rat. More specifically, that's the Egg Master Heartless.


When Yoko was explaining what the Monster was to Eat, the Black Bunny approached the both of them.


Black Bunny: So, these Heartless. Are they a creation of science nor something supernatural?


Yoko: Heartless are born from the Darkness in people's hearts and if there's enough darkness, they can physically manifest into Physical beings.


Black Bunny: So, they are supernatural. But why are they here? This is the first time ever encountering one.


Rat: Same here.


Black Bunny: Unless.........


The Black Bunny turned his attention to Yoko, who knew from when he was looking at her, figured it out. Yoko could do nothing except sigh.


Yoko: sigh If you think it's because of me, then you would be right. Heartless are attracted to the Keyblade, and seek to Destroy it. But right now, it's best we deal with this later.


Black Bunny: Why later?


Yoko: Just because you made the Heartless trip and fall......


As Yoko was speaking to the Black Bunny, the Egg Master Heartless began to get back up, standing up tall and ready to fight.


Yoko: The only way to defeat a Heartless, is by making sure they're no longer around.


Yoko took her Keyblade and took a fighting position, ready for battle.


Yoko: Rat. Black Bunny. You two get out of here. This is my fight.


Rat: I'm not going to let you fight that thing alone!


Yoko: Rat! You have no weapon! And this is a tall and gigantic monster! Please.......trust me with handling this one. I'm the only one who can stop it. Rat could only clench her fists, knowing that what Yoko said was true. Rat had nothing but her bare hands to fight anyone and anything. But the Heartless was too big and too dangerous to go at it with sheer brawn alone. Rat could do nothing but sigh in the end.


Rat: Sigh Yoko. Take this big Bastard down. For me.


Yoko smiled at her friend, knowing this meant that she was leaving it to her hands.


Yoko: You better damn well believe it.


Yoko started to approach the Egg Master, as Rat and the Black Bunny moved away to a safe distance, making sure nobody got caught in the crossfire.


Yoko: Alright, asshole! I have had a really fucked up time since I found myself here! And I have a shit ton of anger to vent out!


As Yoko got closer got to the Egg Master, the Heartless readied itself for a fight.


Yoko: Come and get some!
