Looking at the my other sire, I sigh. "Vanitas, only one person in the entire Multiverse can command the Unversed with such totality and who the fuck is William Frankenstein?"

He rose a finger, then looked at the squad of Unversed in formation around him, promptly lowering it, "Alright, fair. As for the old man, well at this point there's no point hiding it, he's the reason I sprouted on the cracked scraps that were left of this substrate and pulled it together into a coherent entity. Shit happens when Magicians get involved."

At that moment, Zest spoke up. "Um, excuse me? Who are you people?"
"They look like another adventuring party," Floe noted. "Maybe they're new?"
"You could say that," I replied. It was technically true for three-fourths of our party, after all.
"Still, I've yet to see such a... dynamic entry before," Daewoo continued. "Was that deliberate?"
"Nnnnnot really?" Sora replied. "I hadn't flown in a while, so I didn't quite get the landing gear out in time. Good thing that Heartless was there to break our fall."
"You're telling me," Sauber chuckled. "You pretty much saved our bacon with that crash landing!"
"Either way, I don't think we've introduced ourselves," the Warrior interjected. "I'm Zest. These are my party members: Sauber, Floe, and Daewoo."
He pointed to the Thief, White Mage, and Black Mage in turn, as they waved and said hello.
"Nice to meet you all!" Sora replied happily. "I'm Sora, and these are my friends Egret, Paradox and Riku!"

Vanitas tilted his head, by now having decided to dismiss the Unversed but not Jackie nor his Keyblade, although he removed the Darkness coating and pointed it at the ground, "He isn't in the local worldline if that's what you mean. He's on the next sub-cluster over, half a twist sideways and up. Follow the smoke and mad laughter. If that isn't what you mean, I can't help you much beyond telling you that he slipped through the cracks into a non-standard Fate iteration quite a few years back, germinating in a fetus. Friends with Zelretch as he is, he didn't bother looking for the world his spore came from. His imprint memories only stretch back one generation, to an author living in a presumably mundane iteration of contemporary Earth, went by the alias 'Nihilo' if that helps any."

He smiled, finally relaxing fully, Keyblade dismissed. Jackie... Jackie could stay concealed for now. Just in case. "Not quite. I'm... well, closest term would be grandkid, except I'm also his third incarnation, except the previous ones are still kicking and there's a shitton of other branches out and about. There's quite a few incarnations of you around too, by the way, most of the time at the centre of a mass insertion event. The old coot makes a game of finding interesting ones and having one of my... 'siblings', for lack of a better word, germinate in the area."

Laughing, I clap. "Finally, someone like me, how many of my Roles have you encountered?"
Blinking, Ginny looks at me. "Like you? You mean there are other Higher Entities out there?"
Blushing, I rub my head. "Don't call us that, you'll make us sound like gods..."
Stepping further forward, EMIYA points Kanshou at me. "Enough joking around, who or what are you? No mere human can make Alaya cry, It doesn't even cry at the Extinction of Mankind... Why does it cry for you?"
Reaching up, I rest my hand on the black blade and smile. "Because Shirou, people like us four... We're members of an ancient order that puts the Counter Force to shame and Alaya admires us for it."With that I casualty crush the faux-heroic steel in my hand.

Scoffing internally, Vanitas sent a telepathic command through the Master-Servant bond, a second later Jackie had used her Presence Concealment and Murderer of the Misty Night aided sneak attack to launch a ballistic cushion at Xal's face.
"Dad said to quit posturing." So sayeth the newly revealed Assassin, who was quick to use that high Agility of hers to climb atop Vanitas' shoulder once more.
Vanitas, for his part, wiped a nonexistent tear from his eye, his heart about to burst from fatherly pride.

Getting clocked in the face with a cushion flying at sufficient velocity just caused my head to rock back. "... ow."
Looking over at the little girl on my sire's shoulder, I could feel parts of my mind fogging over, panicking, I flooded my Heart with Light, briefly causing my eyes to flash a pale yellow like a moon. "Jack The Ripper huh? If I wasn't used to Namine's mind games I would've missed the memory erasure... That a normal Assassin thing or just her?"
Staring at her, Ginny yelled. "Bloody hell! That's Jack the Ripper?! I expected someone more menacing for a Dark Lord. Even Tom had an aura about him..."

Jackie tilted her head, blinking owlishly at the redhead's remark for a moment before smacking a fist on her palm in realisation. Not a second afterwards, everyone in the room got to experience the unrestrained presence of the gestalt of over ten thousand abandoned children, the only saving grace that yearning for a parent was distinctly sated courtesy of the man whose shoulder the aforementioned gestalt was perched on.
Jackie stopped it when she suddenly found herself fiercely hugged by her dad. She leaned into the hug. This was nice.

A story to tell?
I notice Roxas-Xal conversing with his alternate self, but I don't listen in. Their business is their own.
Rather, I board the spaceship along with Pred and Atlas. "So, Pred, how have you been?" I ask him. Things must have happened between waking up at Castle Oblivion and the meeting at Agrabah.

The Space between Worlds-->Olympus
Huh. So that's how a world looks from outside. Neat
Having gotten some random bits of resources wandering about, I finally see a world that seems to fit my criteria of being viable to siphon off resources.
Relatively low tech, but civilization nonetheless, perfect for what I had in plan. Heading on over, I see where I can land to go ahead and begin my operations. Might be able to bargain some people with 'alchemy' too out of what I need.
Isn't a scam if they don't have any knowledge or sources of what I sell, even if it's cheap where I got it.

First Roll: 81+60%=129.6 Crit roll 78+60%= 124.8 Crit again 83+60%= 132.8 3rd Crit 21+60%= 33.6 Extra roll due to clarification: 30+60%=48 Roll for passing 100 threshold 41+60%= 65.6(Total 161.2+534.4= 695.6)
Holy hell, this place is absolutely loaded in stuff! Abundance in metals and plenty of resources that I haven't even heard of just basically lying around.
With this kind of place, I should be able to finish up collecting in no time too!
Second Roll: 63+60%=100.8 Crit roll 31+60%=49.6 Passing 100 threshold 61+60%=97.6 (Total 782.4)
Making decent progress...not as much as before unfortunately, but still very good.

Feeling the absolute wall of abandonment spring up from the Servant of Death caused us all to stagger back a good few paces...
All except Xion, who fell to her knees, sobbing
Forcing myself through my own hyperventilation, I rushed to her side and hugged her, just as much for myself as it was for her. "Hey, hey, Xion, I'm here... I'll never leave you..."

Atlas looked at me incredulously "Asleep for 10 years? It's a wonder you're standing."
"Tell me about it. Anyway, where to begin?" Hmm...maybe a question that might work as a double check to see if it is the same Ube from Sufficient Velocity."A quick question. It's odd...but indulge me. Do the numbers one, zero, five, and nine have any significance to you?"

"It's been..." I go over the series of events that led to our reunion in my mind. "Manic. To say the least. It can't be more than a few hours since I work up in Castle Oblivion...Well, probably more, I had to get myself back in shape after that long nap."

"Uh... can you elaborate?" I ask, puzzled. I don't get why he's asking about particular numbers. Maybe if he explains what he's trying to get at, I might understand what he means.

"It's...a series of numbers that I use with my name, Pred, back on my world. If this doesn't make sense to you, don't worry about it." I wave it off. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong. But that specific name, Ube, just sounds too close for it to be a coincidence, right?

Oh! That Pred. The look in my eyes shows that I remember now. His username has numbers appended to it.
"Let me guess, were you the one with the plans for 'whacking things with key-shaped swords'?" I ask, complete with air-quotes. That was the title of a forum quest that I was part of, and that a certain Pred was actively participating in.

"Anyway, what happened after I woke up? Well, I wandered a bit before meeting Atlas, apparently the organization left him in Castle Oblivion." At mention of him, the replica gives a wave. "Eventually, we made our way to Radiant Garden...Hollow Bastion...same thing. I tried to find Merlin to get some more information as to how I got in Ventus' body. But then it turns out he got...Inserted into as well. By a guy named Jacob."
"It was rather jarring seeing the wizard act so juvenile." Atlas mentions.
"Anyway. That's when we found out that Dumbledore was staying at Hollow Bastion. Yes, that was Ginny Weasly back there." I'm guessing Xalgeon has an interesting story about how they both met.

It's always wild meeting someone you've only met online until then. Granted, it usually isn't done in the bodies/souls of fictional characters. Even so, I still can smile. "Yeah, though more than a few plans involved fire." Wonder if it means anything that I got the handle of fire first as a keyblade wielder? Eh, questions for later.

Without a word, the Floods marched out of Vanitas' shadow, the Barista Flood organising them into preparing tea and gathering blankets, which were respectively forced into the hands and draped around of all those present in varying degrees of shock.
Meanwhile, Vanitas was using a minor application of Fire magic to become a living radiator, softly humming while he stroked Jackie's hair. She closed her eyes, basking in the warmth she had found at long last.
