Crowned Hearts Chapter
1
By Blue Dragon
It had been a dark time, a difficult time, and a time full of tribulations, but all of the fighting had come to an end. The light of the restored worlds cascaded around him and for a split second, made him feel the least bit happy. The darkness closed in around him, and tried to choke him out, but his heart was too strong.
He blinked his platinum blue eyes through the darkness, and then too in a deep breath while tightening his grip.
Riku threw a glance at king Mickey, a fellow keyblade holder."Shall we?" he asked the mouse of a king; taking a good look at the odds he was against. There were about 500 heartless and perhaps three Darksides.
"We shall!" responded the king removing the Kingdom Key once more.
In a quick movement, Riku withdrew the Oblivion for the left hand, and the Demon's Wing for the right.
He took a good look at the cesspool of creatures that seemed to be daring them to advance. It was a frightening and dark sight.
"Geronimo!"
He screamed as they charged into the bundle of darkness, slashing
wildly, with a Thundaga spells here and there.
"Pluto, wait!"
Sora charged after the prancing dog, whose pursuit he had been
looking forward to until now. After about three hours ours of
running, Donald had almost died and Goofy had to lug the out-of-shape
duck on his back. Only the whites of Donald's eyes were visible as he
was basically unconscious from the exhaustion.
Finally, Pluto
came to an abrupt stop and began sniffing around.
"Riku, behind
you!" Riku took the king's warning and threw a slash behind him,
turning the oppressor into nothing but a floating heart and a
substance resembling stardust.
"Mickey, Thunder Spell!"
Mickey took Riku's advice and turned the other twenty-two around him
into some more pixie dust.
"Ultima!" Riku used the
Ultima spell Sephiroth had taught him after he had asked him to wait
at the tournament to beat up Sora.
Another thirty-eight
heartless went down, dissipating into a mass of stardust.
Piles
of the substance buried Riku and forced him to cough and claw his way
out, clouded his vision, and made its way into his pants. That, by
the way, was very uncomfortable.
"I freakin hate
heartless . . . !" moaned Riku to no one in particular.
"Look at
that!" Sora pointed up at the cascading stardust as he danced
around with Goofy in the strange swarm of it that was raining down
into the green grasslands on the sunny plain. The unconscious Donald
started to sneeze.
After a long fight,
there was only one large Darkside remaining for Riku to finish off.
With another battle cry, Riku tornadoed himself into the palm of it
as it kneeled to gather energy, and then the last large heartless
exploded.
"YES! WE DID IT!"
"Good job
Riku! Now what's say we find Sora, Donald, and Goofy!"
"I
hear ya. Lets go!"
Riku and Mickey prepared to depart,
when suddenly, a large meteor of pixie dust landed on him. He poked
his head out of the pile he was buried in.
"Damned Pixie
Dust!"
"So how long do we hafta wait?" Goofy
asked in his normal goofy accent.
"Pluto stopped here, so
I guess there must be a good reason."
"U-uh.."
Donald
regained consciousness.
"Ahh!"
Goofy screamed
like a girl and whacked Donald over the head with his elbow. The duck
lapsed back into unconsciousness.
"."
"."
".Goofy,
why did you whack Donald?"
"He, uh, startled me. I
thought he was a ghost or somethin'"
"Really?"
"No,
I just have more fun when Donald's dead"
"DEAD!?"
"Uh,
I mean unconscious"
"Okay Riku, we just have to make
one big leap into that crater!"
"Where will that get
us?"
"It's better than staying here and starving to
death"
Riku took a look at the pure darkness and closed
door to the outside world from Kingdom Hearts.
"I guess.
Lets go"
Riku did a cannonball in, and Mickey performed a
cartoonish leap down the crater.
"Hey! Look up
there!"
Two figures came falling from the sky, and Riku
and Mickey landed with a thud.
"Riku!" Sora rushed
up to his lost friend and embraced him as he coughed up pixie
dust.
"Sora, its good to see you buddy"
"King
Mickey!" Goofy rushed over to greet his king.
"Goofy!
What luck! Now we, Pluto, and Goofy can get back to the
castle!"
"With all due respect sir, we still haven't
figured out a way."
"Nonsense! Now that I'm back
here, I can just use the keyblade to take us right back."
"But
Mickey!" asked Sora, letting go of Riku. "How will we get
back"?
"Your world is much farther.you and Riku need
two keyblades. Just put them together at the tip and you'll be on
your way!"
"Great!" said Riku.
"I
guess this is goodbye then" said Goofy.
"Goofy, I'll
never forget you, or Donald" Sora looked at Mickey "or you
mouse boy"
"Its Mickey! And Good look to you and
Sora and Riku!"
Riku and Sora stepped back. Pluto rushed
to Donald (still out cold, or possibly dead) Goofy, and Mickey, and
with a flash, the keyblade took them off.
Riku turned to face
Sora.
"I thought I had lost you for good" said Sora.
"I'm so glad to see you again"
"You too. I
can't wait to get back. It seems like forever since we were at our
old island, not a care in the world."
"Except your
parents, Sora. Mr. Barzhad is the worst!"
"Hey! He's
not that bad!"
"I was just joking, Sora"
"You're
dad's not any better, always slammin' you and what not."
"HEY!
You've never seen him slam me, just chasing me around like he wants
to kill me"
"Right. Well, I say we put together our
keyblades and get back"
"I say that's a fine
idea"
With that, Riku held up the Oblivion, Sora pulled
out the Ultima Weapon, and when the two connected.
Fwoom.
