TASOO: ALRIGHT NEW STORY WHOOOOOOOOO! If you guys are wondering, the Heaven's Knight's are an actual party in the Vulpes Union and these are based off of actual players from the party. As I was writing this, I'm kinda thinking its sounding like a Mary Sue story, does it sound like that? If you agree with me, please tell me and I'll try to make changes to make it better. Without further ado, lets jump into this story!
" I-I can't believe it...Were all dead..." Heather whispered, putting a hand over her right eye as she managed a weak laugh. "We're all really dead..." She whispered as she closed her eyes.
" No way..." She could hear Maya whisper as Heather snapped her eyes open, to see her open up her menu, seeing the same flashing icon. She quickly opened it, the second screen coming to view.
" Don't look!" Heather leaped up, closing her eyes as she spread her arms out in between her and the menu. Maya quickly pushed her out of the way, Heather stumbling a bit as she looked at Maya's screen. The same thing, a girl in a white dress with white roses around her, trapped in a black coffin.
" My parent's..." She whispered, Heather, noticing the figures dressed in black near the girl. Heather frowned as Bael crossed his arms.
" Now calm down for a minute, Maya," Bael warned Maya, turning around to look at him, fire in her eyes.
" Calm down?! How could you even expect me to calm down when my parents think I'm dead! Your's do too! What were seeing right now these are our funerals!"
3 hours ago...
" Oh, come on!" Heather sighed roughly, laying down on her back as she stared at the ceiling of her bedroom. She looked at the small screen on her phone, the game saying 'Spend 100 Jewels to continue?'
" Stupid Ava..." She huffed, Maya giggling as she sat on the floor. Heather raised an eyebrow as she looked over her bed, down at her.
" What are you laughing about?" She huffed, Maya, smiling up at her.
" You, silly. You always get so worked up over video games." She giggled again, the screen on her phone reading 'Level up! Level 149 is now level 150!' Heather sighed as she fell backward on her bed, hands behind her head.
" Yeah well, it pisses me off when I die. But-" She stopped, looking back at her phone. Maya tilted her head to the side.
" But what?" She asked. Heather frowned. She groaned, throwing her arms in the air.
" I dunno!" She said exasperatedly. " I guess I just like how happy I feel when I win." Maya smiled at her.
" That's really cheesy, Heather." She laughed. Heather shooting her a look.
" Shut up." She retorted as she laughed. " You asked."
" If you're having that much trouble, why don't you just ask Bael?" Maya asked as she tilted her head up, looking up at her. " He's always got some way to make the fight easier."
Heather opened her mouth, expecting a reason to come out, but she ended up just closing it again as she put a hand to her forehead.
" I'm an idiot." She said with a smile, closing the screen only to open up the chat. Maya followed her lead, opening the chat on her own phone.
' Hello, Sir Bael.' She tapped in the chat, Bael responding quickly.
' Hello, Milady.' He tapped back, Heather smiling a bit, Maya giggling as she watched Heather's cheeks turn a soft shade of pink.
Heather puffed out her cheeks as she grabbed a nearby pillow, throwing it at Maya's face, Maya falling backward, her laughs only growing louder.
' Listen, I need a favor.' She continued to tap as she posted it. Immediately, Bael responded.
' Let me guess, you need help with a boss?' Heather groaned at the post.
' I seriously hate that's my reputation with you!' She sighed. ' But, yeah. Quest 425: The Foreteller's Might. Ava.'
' Alright, give me a second.' He responded, Heather, staring at the screen until he responded again. ' Okay, so Ava's a magic type level 120, you don't have a lot of speed medals do you?'
' No.' Heather typed back.
' Are you using the Namine medal like I told you to? It mirrors the targets boosts, so it should work pretty good.'
' Yeah and I'm using the Arieth medal to raise my strength on top of that.'
' Shouldn't you be using the Selphie medal?' He asked in the chat.
' Yeah, but my Arieth's a six star and Selphie's only a five star.' She texted back.
' Just because a medal is five stars, doesn't mean its weak. Use it.' He ordered as he texted back. ' Oh, and I have my Belle medal shared for you, use that one too. It takes off the enemies attributes.'
' Right.' She texted back before closing the chat. Immediately after she did that, there was a knock on her door. Maya jumped a little, startled.
" I got it." Heather stopped her, swinging open her bedroom door.
" Sorry Mom, I lost track of time- Huh?" She stopped when she looked out the door. There was no one standing in the hallway.
" That's weird..." Maya mused from behind her. " You sure your mom doesn't play tricks on us?" Heather shook her head.
" She never does it when I have company over..." She mused, looking down at the ground. Sitting there, were two silver boxes, one titled Maya and the other titled Heather.
" Oooh! Pretty!" Maya bent down, grabbing the boxes and giving Heather the one with her name.
" Hey hold on a minute, Maya. There could be a bomb in here or something-" Heather sighed when she realized the girl wasn't listening to her, as she opened the box.
" Hey look! A barrette!" She laughed as she put it on, taking the letter out of the box. Heather opened her own, only to see the same barrette. It was a small, normal silver barrette with a kingdom crown on the corner. Maya took the pin and placed it in Heather's hair.
" Isn't this Sora's kingdom key crown?" Heather asked, pulling out the letter herself as she read it aloud.
" Thank you so much for your support. In honor of Kingdom Hearts Unchained X's one-year anniversary, we proudly present to you this limited edition pin. Please show your Kingdom Hearts pride by wearing it tonight." Heather read as Maya lowered the letter, casting a strange look to the box.
" I'm confused." She breathed. " I never gave Square Enix my address." Heather's eyes widened.
" Neither did I..." Her breath hitched. " And even then how could Square know you're staying the night tonight?"
" Okay, Heather. I'm really starting to freak out now." Maya said Heather nodding.
" Me too let's just take the barrettes off." She suggested, Maya, nodding as she tugged on it. Her eyes widened.
" Heather. It's not coming off." She whimpered as she pulled on her hair harder. Heather sighed, walking up to her as she tugged on it.
" Jeez, you really have it in there. Oh well, guess we'll just have to use scissors." Heather said, grabbing a nearby pair as she pulled up on her hair. Heather dropped a tuff of Maya's hair, backing up a little.
" What's wrong?" Maya asked, tapping the barrette. Heather just simply pointed at her hair.
" The pin. It's-" The pin was fusing with her skin, completely sinking into her skull as it began to disappear, Maya's eyes widened as she pointed at Heather's hair.
" Your's is too!" She gasped, Heather, putting a hand to her head as her eyes widened.
" No, no no no no!" She repeated, running to grab a mirror only to see the barrette indeed sink into her skin. " This can't be happening, what the hell is going-" She stopped, as her vision got blurry.
" W-why do I feel so... sleepy..." Maya grabbed her head with her hand, before slumping to the ground, Heather following her lead.
' No...' Heather thought as she grit her teeth, her vision blackening. ' What's... happening to us...?'
" Wake... up..." Heather groaned at the voice.
" You need... to wake..." Her body was stiff, why should she wake up when it's this late?
" UGH! DON'T TOY WITH ME, GIRL. WAKE UP!"
Heather gasped when she felt a small yet painful hit her side. She quickly sat up, looking wildly around her.
" Where... am I?" She thought aloud, feeling the pebble pavement with her hand. Her eyes widened when she looked around. A giant fountain, large buildings, a small circular area with pebble pavement. No way... was this?
" I can't believe my life is being depended on this lowlife who can't even wake up on time. Seriously, are you usually this lazy?" Heather looked down at the small cat like creature who crossed her arms. She huffed as she stood on Heather's knee, looking straight at her in the eye.
" A dream eater..." Heather realized, her eyes wide. " No way..."
" Not just any dream eater, idiot." The Chirithy hopped off her leg, hands on her hips. " I am a Never Land Spirit, one that creates happy dreams. Classification: Chirithy. Whoopty do." The Chirithy sighed as she put a paw to her head. " Look, I was designed to help you through the game and blah blah blah. Most of the information will be explained when Vulpes gets here." Heather got to her feet and ran over to the fountain, staring at her reflection as it stared back at her.
There, looked back a girl around the age of thirteen. She had white Shiki Masaki hair, emerald eyes, and soft tan skin. She wore the Kingdom Hearts 3D Riku outfit, and an Alice headband to top it off. She even had her red pair of glasses she wore. She looked identical to her avatar.
" This isn't happening..." She whispered to herself, the Chirithy walking up to her.
" It is." She simply answered. " Now get your head in gear! I'm not gonna have my life source have a panic attack." Heather looked back at the cat with a frown.
" Life source... meaning I die and you die too." The Chirithy nodded.
" Correct. I would give you a prize but I'm broke beyond belief. Seriously, I don't get paid for this job..." The Chirithy continued to talk, but Heather didn't hear her.
" Die..." She whispered. Images of the "Spend 100 Jewels to continue?" screen flashed through her mind as she backed away from the fountain. The Chirithy raised an eyebrow in her direction.
" You doing okay, kid? You look kinda pale..." Heather's eyes widened as she turned and ran, running up the steps to the market, the Chirithy following her far behind.
" Hey! Get back here! It isn't safe! There are Heartless- UGH! THAT FREAKING KID IS GONNA COST ME MY LIFE!" The Chirithy roared, running as fast as she could.
Tears streamed down Heather's face. No matter how hard she closed her eyes, all she could see was the death screen. All she could see was her float in the darkness, her heart floating above her. The town known as Daybreak Town was deserted, not another player in sight.
'I'm all alone, in this murder house...' She thought to herself, closing her eyes tight as she turned and burst through the door running across the bridge to the outlook.
" Someone!" She called out, placing her right foot on top of the fence. " ANYONE! MAYA, NOA, BAEL!" She screamed, gritting her teeth as she looked down at the ocean bellow her. The last place she hadn't looked. Maybe if she were to just jump, then maybe she would be able to find someone down there. Or maybe she would die, nothing really mattered to her anymore. Her eyes snapped open as she placed her other foot on the fence, preparing to jump when-
" Heather..." Heather's heart stopped at the voice as someone grabbed her wrist. Quickly, she turned, seeing a familiar set of blue eyes and pink hair.
" Noa..." Heather breathed a sigh of relief, jumping off the fence and into her arms, tears streaming down her face. Noa caught her and hugged her with a smile. Finally, she wasn't alone. Heather opened her eyes and looked over her shoulder, only to see Bael and Maya walking toward them, Bael crossing his arms as Maya folded her arms behind her back with a smile.
" What were you thinking, going into uncharted territory like that? If you go into territory that you aren't supposed to access in the game, it will result in immediate deresolution." Bael explained, Heather didn't say anything. " What, were you expecting that to happen?" He asked, Heather, flinching a little as she adverted her gaze to the ground.
" That doesn't matter right now, Bael," Noa said softly, putting a hand on Heather's shoulder. " All that matter's is she's safe." She explained, Maya nodding as she slung an arm over Heather's shoulder.
" Yeah! Hey, you look kind of tired, Heather? If you want, we can go back to the fountain square to rest." Maya suggested, Heather, nodding eagerly. Now that Maya had said it, she was feeling tired. After all the running, screaming and crying, who wouldn't?
" I'll lead the way," Bael told them, as he began to walk back to the market. Heather looked around nervously.
" This place is like a ghost town..." She mused, Maya nodding.
" Daybreak Town dimension number 1080 usually is... after all were the only people that have access to it," Maya explained, Heather looking at her confused.
" Every party has access to their own dimension version of Daybreak town. Our number is decided on our party ranking since we're ranked number 1080, our dimension number is 1080." Noa explained, Maya huffing as she crossed her arms.
" It's not fair, though! If you're ranked 800 or higher, you get special stuff! Like new clothes, softer beds, tastier food and access to the community pool!" Maya complained as Bael nodded.
" Yeah, which is why we need to work hard and gain as much lux as possible to reach get those things." He told her. As soon as the words left his mouth, the group found themselves face to face with a Chirithy.
" What are you, an idiot?! You know this place is dangerous, it's crawling with monsters and you haven't even learned how to summon your keyblade yet!" The Chirithy huffed. Heather giggled at her.
" What's so funny?! This is a serious situation, kid!" The Chirithy roared Heather smiling sweetly down at her.
" I just didn't think you cared, you're so sweet!" Heather gushed, the Chirithy looking a little shocked before turning away.
" Yeah, well don't think for a second that I would ever care about a sorry excuse of a player like you. I just prefer keeping my life." He turned to the other three pointing a paw at them. " Which means, Every one of you better protect each other with your life, you hear me?" The three girls nodded seriously, Bael crossing his arms with a smirk.
" Honestly, you really think something can bring us down that easily?" He asked her with a smile. " You really don't know the Heaven's Knights well." The Chirithy frowned at him.
" No I don't, I just met them today. Your the party's leader, aren't you?" The Chirithy asked, Bael nodding. The Chirithy crossed her arms.
" If anyone in your party dies, it will be your fault. You know this, do you not?" Bael frowned seriously and nodded.
" Of course." He said. " I promise I'll protect them with my life." The cat gave him a look, before huffing and turning away.
" Let's see if you can keep that promise. You have a lot of responsibility on your shoulders, I almost pity you. Don't screw up." The Chirithy gave them one last look before disappearing in a puff of smoke.
" Hey, were here." Noa told them as they walked down the steps to the fountain. Immediately, Maya ran ahead and plopped down on the ground, laying on her back as she looked up to the sky. Noa followed her lead and laid next to her.
" Mmm... the sun feels real..." Noa sighed as Maya hummed in agreement. Heather was about to join them when she stopped and turned around. Bael had his arms crossed and his eyes closed, in a thinking pose.
" Hey, are you alright, Bael?" Noa called from her spot in the sun. Bael nodding.
" I'm fine." He answered, Heather, folding her arms behind her back with a look of sympathy.
" You know, if it's my Chirithy that's worrying you, don't let her get to you. I can already tell that she's never gonna get over her attitude." Heather told him, Bael opened his eyes as he walked over to her.
" It's not that." He answered. " Heather, do me a favor and open your menu for me." Heather looked at him in confusion.
" Uh, okay. How do I do that?" He softly smiled at her, raising his right arm straight in the air.
" Just raise your arm." He demonstrated. " And swing it back down." As soon as he did it, a large holographic screen appeared in front of him. Quickly, Heather followed his lead as a screen appeared in front of her as well.
" Just as I thought." He sighed, Heather's eyes growing wide.
" What? No! Level 1?! But I was level 214 in the game!" Heather complained. It had taken her years to reach that level! Bael sighed as he put a hand to his head.
" You think that's bad? I was a level 300, completely maxed out, but now here I am a level 40." He sighed. Noa smiling from her spot.
" Be glad we still have our clothes and medals and keyblade levels, Bael." She told him, Bael nodding. Maya grinned.
" Yeah! We got high levels once, we can do it again! Right?" Maya told them, Heather smiling at her. She took a look back at her screen and studied the rest of the information.
" So, my skill is paralysis+ and my type is magic? What does that mean?" She asked, looking at Bael.
" Everyone here has a specific skill. Mine is strength boost II, Maya's is poision+, and Noa's is defense boost II. Your type is magic, so enemies that are power type are weak against your strength, while enemies that are speed type are strong against you." Bael explained, Heather nodding.
" So what type are you?" She asked, Bael smirking at her.
" Power type, Maya is a magic type like you and Noa's a speed type," Bael explained. " That's about all I know so far if you have any other questions you can ask Ava tomorrow, she's hosting a meeting for the whole Vulpes Union." Heather frowned.
" Questions like how we even got here, and how do we get out." Heather clarified, Bael nodding seriously.
" Exactly." He agreed. " Apparently it's taking a long time to get everyone that plays the game from reality into this database. I've been here for three days while Noa and Maya came just yesterday." Bael explained, Heather, giving him a look.
" Aren't you afraid of what could happen?" Heather asked, Bael frowning.
" Being afraid won't change what happened. All we can do is play their game and win it. Then, we can go back home." He told her, Heather nodding solemnly. Noa got up from her spot and yawned.
" It's getting late, guys. Shouldn't we rest up for tomorrow? I mean that's really when the game starts." Noa told them, Bael nodding.
" Your right. Let's go." Bael agreed, Maya getting up as she walked over to them.
" Since you haven't bought a place to stay yet, Heather. You can bunk with me! We'll have a sleepover!" Maya suggested, Heather, laughing with a grin.
" Yeah, we haven't gotten a chance to finish ours. Let's do it!" Heather told her before looking back down at her menu with a frown.
" There's another setting on here... Reality Imaging? What's that?" Heather asked, Bael and Noa turning and giving her a panicked look.
" Heather, please don't open that," Noa told her seriously. It only made Heather more curious.
" But it's on my menu! And it's flashing... I'm opening it." She told her, Bael's eye's widening.
" Heather, don't!" He ordered, but Heather just ignored him, clicking on the small flashing box only for another screen to open, at first black but then coming to life.
As soon as the second screen opened, Heather felt a force push her down as the wind was knocked out of her. She gasped, dizzy by the fast impact as she opened her eyes to see someone sitting on top of her, grabbing her arms and forcing them above her head.
" Bael! Get off of me!" Heather yelled, Noa, rushing toward the menu as she quickly tried to switch off the second screen. They really didn't want her to see it. It only made her more curious. She quickly pulled up on her arms, managing to make Bael struggle as she caught a glimpse over his shoulder-
As soon as she saw it, she wished she didn't. It was her dead body from the mortal world, dressed in a beautiful white dress, white roses decorated around her coffin. She looked much paler than she did, with blonde hair and her eyes closed. But it was her no doubt about it. Bael quickly released her as he got up, gritting his teeth as he looked at the menu with anger. Heather didn't even move a muscle, just laid there where Bael had left her, staring up at the sky.
" I-I can't believe it...Were all dead..." She whispered, putting a hand over her right eye as she managed a weak laugh. " We're all really dead..." She whispered as she closed her eyes.
" No way..." She could hear Maya whisper as Heather snapped her eyes open, to see her open up her menu, seeing the same flashing icon. She quickly opened it, the second screen coming to view.
" Don't look!" Heather leaped up, closing her arms as she spread her arms out in between her and the menu. Maya quickly pushed her out of the way, Heather stumbling a bit as she looked at Maya's screen. The same thing, a girl in a white dress with white roses around her, trapped in a black coffin.
" My parent's..." She whispered, Heather, noticing the figures dressed in black near the girl. Heather frowned as Bael crossed his arms.
" Now calm down for a minute, Maya," Bael warned Maya, turning to him, fire in her eyes.
" Calm down?! How could you even expect me to calm down when my parents think I'm dead! Your's do too! What were seeing right now- these are our funerals!"
