A forum created on FanFiction.Net by an author known as One Behind The Mask. In just a few short months, it's shown many examples of tropes and shows lots of creativity.
20 years after the end of Kingdom Hearts II, it's been revealed there's a school for Keybladers. They learn how to fight Heartless, in all the ways from the games—and more. But with these heroes-in-training also come seasoned villains to oppose them. It's up to them to use the lessons they learn to combat these evils.
But there's a twist. These villains are pure evil. The kids are of varying degrees of sanity. And the administrator is also the administrator of the Dark Academy!
They've got a lot to deal with.

This fan forum contains examples of:
- Action Girl: Saji's mom Sakura fights at the same time as her husband and child, with a Naginata.
- Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking - What does Ignus hate most about his double? Not the random burning, not the killing, but the fact that he doesn't like clichés.
- Badass Family - Xander, who's family includes: A God of Heroes (brother), a God of Weather (himself), a Half-Titan God of Valkyries (father) and the leader of the Valkyries (mother).
- BFS - Xander's borrowed Summersword is over 7 ft long, extremely large for a sword in this setting.
- Chaste Hero - Saji cries because he thinks his hormones for Sayaka are getting in the way of his being a true hero.
- Crossover - Being related to Kingdom Hearts, it's very easy to cross this universe with others. So far, there are crossovers with Spellforce, Getter Robo, Dragon Quest Monsters, Valkyrie Profile, and more...
- Curb-Stomp Battle - So Jarl Malacay takes his brother Janus' power, and Shae's dead so no baggage there. He proceeds to annihilate the inanimate objects around him... Then Angela, in her Mama Bear rage, impales him repeatedly, not giving him a chance to show off his powers anymore, and finally stabs him through the Heart.
- Damsel in Distress - The Robots, Michelle, and Monika, also a robot. Somewhat averted in that they'd have busted themselves out if their captor wasn't practically a Physical God.
- Elemental Rock-Paper-Scissors - Played with. Elements that oppose each other are indeed each other's weaknesses, but if applied with the same force, they cancel out.
- Expository Theme Tune - Every time Saji summons his Humongous Mecha, RS writes in a
Suspiciously Similar Song version of a Super Robot theme song. So far are Combattler V and Getter Robo. - Fanservice - All over the place, but aside from the Les Yay, there's the time Sayaka and Saji went swimming. Sexy swimsuit and Marshmallow Hell for Saji.
- Fun with Acronyms - Demi Synthesised Emblem Heartless: Experimental Keyblader, or SEEK and Coeus' Synthetically Integrated Network or SIN (which only adds to Gig calling him emo).
- Good News, Bad News - Good News? Shae's free of Malacay. Bad News? She's now transforming into some kind of dragon-thing
- Huge Schoolgirl - Many characters are larger than average, but Shae, being well over 6 foot and being just 12 (10 in our year cycle...), really stands out.
- Karma Houdini - Demi gets away without any punishment for killing Rolan's family. They're relatively good friends.
- Katanas Are Just Better - Demi's main Keyblade is based off a katana.
- My God, What Have I Done? - Max only wanted to defeat Talis in the duel and make sure Zena got to keep her freedom. He never planned to just straight up kill him...
- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero - Shae's first action on coming back from Eo is to break one of the crystals Snap was looking to break in the first place.
- Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot - Shana, the vampiric Gargoyle, and Trom Decibel, the robot Bard.
- Person of Mass Destruction - Xander, who can take out a mile radius. Kept in check by this nearly killing him, and being seriously unstable and unpredictable.
- Properly Paranoid - Demi, for a good reason: Most of the people in the Academy would kill her if they know what she really was.
- Psychic Powers - Morganna has these, as a Shout-Out to The King of Fighters. They include teleportation, energy projectiles, shields, and of course telekinesis and telepathy.
- Rebellious Princess - Zena, who ended up killing the man she was meant to be married off too. And now Genevieve's just become one, though she hasn't gone so far as to murder Mordred to avoid the marriage. Yet.
- Shout-Out - Up the ass, mostly courtesy of RS, Mask, and Wyrmhero. Also, Saji's entire schtick.
- TURBO BUSTER PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUNCH!!.
- The Goldion Hammer Keyblade.
- The Jet Scrander Keyblade.
- The Storm of the Century Keyblade
- Sayaka's name and Photon Beam Limit Break.
- Screw it. Everything Saji says, does, or uses.
- Transparent Closet - Michelle, despite believing in love in all forms and having two girlfriends, claims she's still straight.
- Trickster Mentor - Because There Are No Therapists, Demi quickly becomes annoyed with all the Heroic BSODs going on, and tries to stop everyone's whining. It works, surprisingly.
- Wide-Eyed Idealist - Saji's actually an interesting version. He fully acknowledges the world is a bad place, and that it's very difficult to figure out what side you're on. However he also believes that working together trumps all, and that all people have good in them. Then he met Malacay, and he realized that SOME people are just irredeemable. He forgives Demi, though, because Love Redeems.
