Keys of Divinity Chapter 2 (Patreon)

My Keyblade Master was obviously Aqua, buuuutttt... It was all to clear that she wasn't a 'normal' Aqua. She was an Aqua who had been recovered from the realm of Darkness, and hadn't fully lost that corruption.

And was probably one of the 'bad end' patients who had been directly saved as her body itself, to say nothing of the way she held herself and her normal 'appearance' was different from it should be.

Her skin was darker, her eyes glowed a rich golden, and the shadows... Every shadow in her clothes, creases in her movements became abyssal black at every chance light wasn't directly pointed at it.

Then there was Aqua's bodily form itself. Her tits had gone up two sizes and her ass also grew a size while she wore mostly the same outfit as in the game. It was missing that bodyglove suit, so much of her cleavage was displayed along with her bare legs besides her very short, booty shorts.

"Jake Bariss, I have seen a few of you, and worked with one of you who became a keyblade wielder, even if he wasn't remotely interested in becoming a Master," Aqua spoke with a velvet, seductive voice.

Not only was her voice liquid sex to my ears that tickled my heart. I could feel my mind control immunity perk roiling in warning. Not a direct screech of 'Get the fuck out! Kill the person in front of you!' Warnings levels I had been warned about.

But that softer warning of sorts. With this, Aqua gave a wan smile before she said softly. "Good, I can see your mind has been shielded. I would have had to send you to a different teacher if you couldn't resist my passive darkness corruption." 

I took a breath as this was the Foundation. Not the Waifu Catalog where they loved to fuck over agents for a variety of reasons. She very, very much was highly unlikely to be messing with me, especially seeing as I came from another cosmic force of sorts.

"What kind of passive mind control aura do you have?" I asked as it seemingly fell into the passive 'Good Guy' aura where a person in lack of evidence otherwise would just easily see the target in the best possible light.

Aqua's thin smile faded before she said bluntly. "It's a sort of mental domination aura that can twist the mind of lesser beings into darkness... It was meant for me to be a plague that would twist worlds filled with no sentient life into endless hordes of lesser dregs of darkness to soften more well-defended worlds."

I was quiet for a moment as I absorbed that and the unspoken message that while her physical nature was in stone and not so easily changed. She herself was well changed and not like that.

At least I hoped that was the case. Either way, I asked curiously. "So you said you worked with another Jake before directly? How did that go? What did you guys do if it's alright to tell me?"

The 'Aqua Alter' as it were, paused at my question, as it seemed she expected me to be more suspicious of her darkness, it seemed. But after that momentary pause, she said thoughtfully. 

"It isn't truly difficult to say. But that Jake already had a mastery over common keyblade-wielding magic, and we met while fighting an insane system user. Who was trying to take over his multiverse after discovering he could use shadow clones to endlessly produce tantric energy to fuel his depraved conquest."

I tilted my head to the side and asked curiously. "What was that system user's name? Or was it just some random guy that got a system and went crazy?"

Aqua's face became somewhat awkward before she sighed and said helplessly.

"His 'system,' although one of the ones who happily fed him powers and led him on a leash, also tormented him, taking away his true name and forcing him to adopt his previous lives' online name. Shocking his body, mind, and soul if he didn't use that name or even let others use nicknames other than that name."

There was a pause as Aqua's face turned up in disgust before she all but spat out. "His name was Splooge McfuckNugget. And that was the only name he could respond to. Which seemingly started his descent into madness when the woman he forced himself on called out that name as well when the system mind-controlled them.

That... Was certainly something for sure. So I shook my head and said with a cough. "Alrighty then! Back to the more important topic. How is this high-speed apprenticeship supposed to work? As I am supposed to only be here at the Foundation for a month."

And I added as well. "To say nothing of my mandated combat and magic training classes as well, which I will be having each day." 

While I knew the magic teacher was already explained to me by Helena when she was leading me around, it was a Bad-End Ultimecia who was recovered. I still didn't know who my actual combat teacher was.

Aqua waved a hand and said calmly. "While typically a Master Keyblade Wielder would slowly and methodically teach their students how to use and as many special abilities as they can. My goal is to give you the foundation of keyblade wielding. And pass on a list of abilities you can also pick up on your own time." 

She then cleared her throat before she pointed towards the leather chairs facing one another. "Go ahead and sit down, Jake. I do however, need to help you pull your keyblade out from your soul."

I was very curious as to what kind of keyblade I would awaken. Would it just be a random keyblade I could recall from the games? Though that might not be possible due to those keyblades being reflections of the hearts that the characters made contact with.

"Just relax. This is going to be quite literally painless, actually. I am going to unlock your Heart and bless it with a piece of my own keyblade. So that your Heart will naturally produce its own keyblade from your already awakened aura, also enhancing your soul." 

While I remained sitting, Aqua stood in front of me and with her own keyblade pointed directly towards my heart. A sharp, blinding light formed at the actual sharp tip of this particular keyblade.

And I shuddered and forced myself to remain still as Aqua gently pushed the keyblade through my aura without it slowing it in the slightest, and it bypassed my flesh entirely as the key chunk of the keyblade entered my chest cavity.

Then, with a sharp twist that literally unlocked something within myself. I gasped as, just like when my aura in particular was awakened, I felt a new part of myself was forcefully awakened and then pulled out of my body.

With a flash, my name keyblade formed into my hand and my hand dipped with the suprising weight of my rather large keyblade. But as Aqua pulled her own keyblade out of my chest in a flicker of motion I couldn't follow. 

I could tell there was a weight in her eye's as I looked up from my bright gold, silver and straight void black keyblade.

"Your keyblade... Has an innate darkness within it. It seems that while your heart is aimed towards good. It's not entirely pure now is it?" She said knowingly towards me.

Honestly, I just said helplessly. "I have, literally zero clue what you mean. I am not some serial killer or sociopath. So I don't know what you mean by some 'inner' darkness."

Aqua let out a heavy exhale before she sat beside me on the edge of the couch. Her bountiful breasts all to close to my face to the point I could smell her clearly as she tapped my keyblade in the three major colors.

"This particular gold, silver, and black isn't normal Jake. It's the color of the Light of Kingdom Hearts, the silver of Nobodies, and the black void of the Heartless." Aqua said quietly but with wonder clear in her tone.

I looked at the keyblade, then back to Aqua and shrugged before saying honestly. "I have zero idea the true significance of that Aqua. I know what all those words mean but uhhh doesn't that mean I am just in balance?" 

Aqua gave me a deadpan stare before she said flatly. "And what happens when you lose your balance? What if your keyblade just explodes from the conflicting energy?"

I just shrugged again as I said helplessly. "Whelp then that is my fate. Holding this keyblade... I can feel it providing me more strength and energy. But there isn't any pressure or weight on my soul or anything."

I shook my head and said more firmly. "This is the keyblade formed from my own soul. I don't think that it will innately be a negative thing. But anyway, now that I got my keyblade, what is next?" 

The blue-haired corrupted beauty tsked quietly before she said evenly. "Then for now... I need to teach you how to fight with a keyblade. A weapon and tool that can take infinite different forms based on the bonds you make with others' hearts."

And while Aqua was mostly a spellcaster, she was by ALL accounts also a master keyblade warrior, even if she fought in a more technical manner. 

All keyblades naturally fell into different styles of wielding. Sora's was a follow-through build where he threw his entire body into blows. Terra's was overwhelming strength, Aqua's was closer to a graceful style. While Someone like Ventus/Roxas's was more along the lines of agility.

As for where I fit with my large double-sided keyblade. I naturally fell more into the style of Terra's own fighting style after he calmed down... And before he lost his body, according to Aqua, after a good bit of very light sparring as well as simple teaching.

And after the lesson and a quick shower, I took a floating tram that would take me to my Final Fantasy Magic Class. But as I was heading out towards the massive cathedral that hosted the specific Final Fantasy magic classes and their teachers.

Someone poked me with their hands, bouncing my aura as she said happily. "Are you a Keyblade wielder!?"

Turning towards the figure, I only blinked at seeing a figure I recognized. It was a girl with primarily blond hair with strawberry red tips to her hair. Combined with her great figure, it wasn't hard to recognize her as Kitagawa Marin.

"Uhhh, how did you guess?" I asked curiously before I checked my phone and saw I still had thirty minutes till the orientation class. Plenty of time, basically.

Marin clapped her hands together and said hurriedly. "Sorry if it came off weird! You have a kingdom key as a necklace that I noticed while on the way here."

Her noticing that while I didn't notice her at all was fair... After all, I was busy reading some free info on the various magic 'schools' that fell into the Final Fantasy magic tree as it were. That and I was completely sandwiched! I had a big titty Marikawa from Highschool of the Dead sitting on my right.

And on my left I had Sarah Fortune from LOL, so I kept my prying eyes well away from their powerful sources of 'personal gravity'.

"That's fair, any particular reason why you are asking?" I asked curiously.

Marin paused as though she just realized she was randomly stopping someone just before orientation, and then she took a deep inhale before asking hurriedly.

"I am in one of the magical tailoring classes, and we are supposed to find our own targets to make enchanted clothes for... I was hoping, REALLLYY hoping that you could be my model because you can transform into different outfits with different bonuses!"

I just stared at her for a good moment before I asked helplessly. "I mean... I guess. I am going to need extra clothes and such for when I leave this place." It would utterly stupid of me not to take advantage of the resources here after all.

But I couldn't help but ask. "But why me? Isn't it easier to find girls or some actual magical girl to do transformation dress-ups?"

Marin's face pinched and she kicked the ground before muttering in annoyance. "No... We are supposed to make male outfits for this project."

Then she straightened up and said with a much brighter smile. "However! I thought of you because you actually have a more normal masculine build! You aren't some monster of muscles, nor are you some spikey-haired emo hottie hehe!" 

I exhaled before I shook my head and offered my phone. "Here... Just take my account number. We can text the details afterwards. I need to go find my class." 

And it was only then, that I managed to escape Marin's grasp as I realized I still had little idea where the classroom was. Being late to Ultimecia's orientation sounded like an utterly terrible idea.
