So...this is the sequel! Aren't you so happy? Of course you are! So anyway...if you haven't read the first story, you may wanna do that or you won't know any of the characters...okay...you will know a lot of them, but...whatever. Also this will follow the story line of KH2 for the most part. But you can definitely expect added or changed parts of it, okay? Well, here you go!
Disclaimer: so...even after finishing the first story I still don't own KH
Zera's POV...
It was a normal day in school...well, as normal as it can be with trying to overthrow the school board and other things like that. Yes I'm trying to overthrow the school board. Momichi High School is soooooooo un-individualistic. Yay! I used a long, complicated word! Um…yeah. Getting back on topic. So I was walking down the hall to my first class after Christmas break. We're allowed to do whatever we want to our uniforms...within reason. But! I did what I wanted, and I'm sooooooo gonna get detention...again...maybe...so yeah. The uniform is a normal white button down, collared shirt, the school emblem on the chest, a blue skirt that ends at our mid thighs, and high socks that ended below the knee. I, on the other hand, had a different uniform in mind...anyway... I was finally in front of the door to my class so I burst into the room.
"HELLO MY FELLOW CLASSMATES! I HOPE WE ALL HAVE ANOTHER FABULOUS SEMESTER TOGETHER!" I shouted as I made my dramatic entrance. My best friend Yoko looked up from her book and gave me a weird look.
"What the hell did you do to your uniform, you shit-head?" she asked. I looked down at my clothes. I had dyed the white shirt black, and sewed on patches of highlighter bright blue and green cloth to make it more colorful for all of the black. I left the emblem alone, thinking that might be too much, and instead, since girls were allowed to wear ties, I had one that was dyed hot pink with an iron on patch of Gir right in the center of the end. The sleeves were long and we weren't supposed to have them shorter than elbow length, but I cut the so it was a T-shirt. The skirt I left alone except for the fact that I punched holes about half an inch above the edge and put silver rings through the holes. It was much less than what I did to it last time.
"Do you not love it?" I ask her. She rolled her eyes and went back to reading her book. Yoko could have cared less about the uniforms and didn't do anything to hers. Besides the uniforms, Yoko and myself changed a lot just in basic. My hair now reached my mid-back and I had gotten rid of my highlights. My hair was also parted off to the side, but my bangs were too short to cover my eye. Yoko also got rid of her highlights and her hair now reached a little below her mid-back. Unlike my hair, which was straight, her hair was very wavy and slightly curly. Her hair was parted to the side as well, but her bangs were long enough to cover her left eye. Unlike myself, Yoko only had ONE problem with the school board: her eye color. Her eyes were amber and apparently it scared people, even teachers. So they made her wear eye color changing contacts so now her eyes were blue.
"To be truthful, I hate it," she said.
"Hey!" I shouted. I felt someone tap on my shoulder and I looked behind me to see our teacher, Mr. Omashu, standing behind me. "Oh...hi, Mr. Omashu..." I chuckled nervously.
"Zera..." he said with a sigh. "Come with me to get you a new uniform." He grabbed my arm and dragged me out of the room, but I yelled before we left, "REBELION!"
He sighed again. I pouted as I was forced to put on a normal uniform. I liked that one better than all the others I had come up with, but nooooo. They just didn't like me being an individual. Oh well, I might as well put it on...for now. The school dislikes anyone being different, and I have no idea why my parents make me go here. Then again, it is a pretty good school, but honestly! Gah!
Okay, so...back to the present. I was done changing and was now going back to class. Mr. Omashu was already back there. I walked through the doorway and saw a boy talking to Yoko. I grinned, ran up behind him, and attacked him with a glomp.
"FABIO!!!!" I yelled. In truth, his name wasn't really Fabio. His name was Akitoki Yoshinori Yamanaka. We call him Aki for short, but I call him Fabio because he reminds me of my fish!
"For the last time it's Akitoki, Zera!" he yelled back, trying to pry me off of him. Yoko pulled me off though.
"But you remind me of my fish! It's a compliment!" I said.
"...isn't he dead?" Yoko asked.
"...yesh. But he was a handsome fish, so you should be honored to be called Fabio!" I said. Aki had short brown hair and black eyes. The guy's uniform was a white shirt, blue jacket, and long blue pants. He chose not to wear the tie, like most guys. Yoko and I had known him since Pre-K and we were really good friends! And he is also one of the tallest guys in the class by being 5'10". I'm 5'5" and Yoko is 5'7". It's very degrading for me to know that I'm both the shortest and freaking youngest in our little group! It annoys me a lot. I mean, Yoko's height doesn't bother me, it's Fabio who is 5 freaking inches taller than me! Gah! ...okay Zera...breath. In, out, in out. Phew, that's better. Oh crap...they're looking at me like I just grew two heads. Not that they don't always look at me like that, but anywho.
"Um...so what were you talking about before I huggled Fabio," I asked.
"Don't you mean attacked?" Fabio, I mean Aki asked.
"Nope!" I responded. He sighed.
"He was asking if we wanted to go to the park later after school," Yoko said. I didn't miss the emphasis on the 'we'. Fabio has had a crush on her ever since he started liking girls which was in about sixth grade. I bug him about it, but then he points out my height. She doesn't like him like that because she likes Riku! Even if we aren't there with the others.
"I would love to go! My mom shouldn't care much anyway. I think she has to work late tonight," I said.
"Fine," Aki said reluctantly.
"Alright class, time to get your books out," Mr. Omashu said. We quieted down and class started. School went on as bearably as possible and nothing very interesting happened except for when I got hit in the face with a volleyball in gym. I'm not too coordinated in sports like that, and Yoko has a really good spike. I think it might have been intentional because I was bothering her earlier in Social Studies.
So now we were at the park. We all stopped by our houses to change out of our uniforms. I had a pair of normal, low-rise blue jeans with a silver chain belt, a white tube top with gold stars and cresent moons on it, and a black jacket with a hood, but I ripped off the sleeves. I also had two silver bracelts on each wrist, and of course my pendent I had gotten from Mickey. I had on a pair of sneakers too. Yoko wore a bronze colored kami and a gray long sleeve jacket over it with a bronze fleur de lis on the chest and right sleeve. The sleeves were rolled up to her elbows and on her right wrist she wore a silver bracelet that said 'Dream' on it. Her jeans were low-rise, blue jeans with rips on the thights, knees, and shins and she wore those tan clogs that a lot of people have now. She also had on her pendent necklace she got from Mickey. Aki changed into jeans, sneakers, a green shirt, and a jean jacket over that.
"Slide!" I yelled as I ran to what I had just yelled out. Yoko and Aki rolled their eyes as they headed to the swings. Aki got there first and sat on the only swing the set had. Other kids had broken the others.
"You took my seat," Yoko said.
"And?" he said. She walked up to him and sat down on his lap.
"I'm sitting here too," she said. She didn't notice the blush rise up on his face. But I did! I made sure to remember that so I could tease him later. Hopefully he wouldn't bring up my height...again...blackmail is fun. I started laughing manically while sitting on top of the slide and they looked at me strangely.
"Hahahahahaha...ha...ha?" I stopped laughing when I noticed them looking at me.
"Um...I'm not crazy!" I shouted as I jumped off the slide and ran behind a tree.
"Sure you're not," was Yoko's sarcastic reply. I stuck my head out from behind the tree and stuck my tongue out at the two.
"There you are..."
"Who said that?" Aki asked. Yoko got off of his lap and Aki stood from the swing. We all looked around and saw a man dressed in black with spiky red hair. He walked up to us and another man walked up from behind him. He had a huge sitar in his hands and looked at us.
"This is them, Axel?" asked the guy with the sitar.
"Yup. Get the one by the tree, Demyx," the man known as Axel said. Demyx nodded and walked up to me, but I grabbed his sitar. I always wanted to play one of these things...
"Hey!" Demyx shouted.
"Whoo! I've wanted to play with one of these for the longest time!" I said, smiling. I strummed the sitar and everyone put their hands over their ears. "ROCK ON!"
"GIMME THAT SITAR!"
"NOPE! NEVER! NO! NEIN! NEGATORY MY DEAR WATSON!" I shouted. Everyone just looked at me like lobsters were crawling out of my ears. I began running around with the guy called Demyx chasing me. I continued strumming the large instrument as he chased me.
"Give it!"
"Never!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"No!"
"Yes!"
"Fine!" I shouted finally and threw the instrument at him, which effectively hit him in the face and knocking him over. I walked over to him.
"You owe me a trip to Hershey Park," I said. He groaned and sat up.
"Fine, let's get going," he said.
"Yay!" I said and jumped onto his back. "Onward my faithful steed!" He sighed. Axel went over to Yoko and threw her over his shoulder, catching her off guard.
Normal POV
"What the hell!" she shouted.
"We're kidnapping you," Axel said. Yoko sighed.
"This is the second time this has happened to me," she said irritably. Aki looked at her.
"When!?" he asked.
"That's none of your concern," she said. Axel began walking off. "And it's nice that you're kidnapping me and everything, but get you damn hand off of my ass!" She kicked him in the chest.
"Fine I'll move it to your waist," he said.
"Is that supposed to make me feel better?" she asked.
"Yes," he replied. He opened a portal, as did Demyx, and as they were about to step through them, Aki jumped in after them. He started to fight with Axel who was trying to hold Aki off as well as holding onto Yoko.
"Yoko, what'll we do!" Zera shouted. "Call for help? Fight? What?" Axel eventually lost his grip on Yoko and she fell into the darkness.
"Oh, fall first, call for help, and fight later!" Zera said, jumping off of Demyx's back.
"What the hell!" Yoko shouted.
"But you said-"
"No! I didn't say anything of the sort!"
"Oh...save me Fabio!" Aki then saw his friends falling through the dark.
"Yoko! No!" he shouted. Zera crossed her arms and pouted.
"Oh, fine! Worry about her! I see how it is!" she shouted as she and Yoko fell further and eventually disappeared in the darkness.
Hayner, Pence, and Olette walked up to the train station, their towels in hand. After saving up enough money they were able to buy three tickets to go to the beach. Pence and Hayner were talking about the upcoming Struggle tournament when Olette saw a girl lying on the ground near the wall. She walked away from the boys and over to the girl. She turned her over and saw that she was still breathing, and only knocked out.
"Hey, are you okay?" she asked, shaking the girl's shoulder. "Wake up?"
"Olette, what are you doing?" asked Pence.
"I found this girl here," Olette said, pointing to the girl with brown wavy curly hair. Hayner looked at the girl and then looked around the area.
"I wonder where she came from," he said.
"We can't just leave her here, so let's take her back to the usual spot," Olette said.
"But what about the beach?" Pence asked.
"That can wait," she said. Hayner put the girl on his back and they carried her back to the usual spot.
Meanwhile Zera was lying in the middle of the Struggle arena and was looking up at the sky. Two boys and a girl walked up to her.
"The sky...it's so...blue here..." Zera said with a smile. One of the boys kicked her in the side and she sat up. "Hey!"
"Get up loser and leave," he said.
"I don't think she is from here, y'know?" said the next boy. "What do you think, Fuu?" The girl shrugged her shoulders.
"Rai, don't be dumb," said the other boy.
"Oh, c'mon, Seifer," Rai said. Zera looked around as the two boys started to talk about whether Zera was from Twilight Town or not.
"Where is she!" Zera yelled suddenly, jumping to her feet.
"Where is who?" Seifer asked.
"Yoko!" she said.
"Who?" he asked again dumbly.
"You know...long wavyish brown hair, amber eyes, ticked off attitude to the world...well, to pretty much anything except her friends and other people she may like," she told him.
"Yeah, still have no idea who you're talking about. Now leave me alone and go find you're friend," he said.
"Yeah, y'know," Rai said, coming up behind Seifer. Fuu just nodded, keeping silent. There was a silence as Zera stared at the three before she finally ran up behind Seifer and jumped onto his back.
"Go forth my trusty steed!" she shouted. Seifer twitched.
"What the hell?!" he yelled.
"I said go!" she said and hit him on the head, causing him to stumble forward which turned into a run. Rai and Fuu just stared after them.
"We should follow them, y'know?" Rai said. Fuu nodded, and they then ran off after their leader and the crazy girl on his back.
"Where the hell am I!" Yoko shouted, holding Pence two inches off of the floor by his shirt collar. "Answer me, damn you!"
"You're in Twilight Town! I'm Pence! That's Olette and Hayner! We found you! Please put me down!" Pence shouted in fear. Yoko placed the chubby boy down and he walked over to Hayner.
"And you are?" asked Olette.
"My name is Yoko and have you seen my friend, Zera? Long dark brown hair, a little crazy, and says random things," she said.
"Nope," said the three teens.
"Well, you are all going to help me find her," Yoko said, walking to the exit.
"Why should we help you?" asked Hayner.
"Because I have no idea how to get around this fuckin' place," Yoko hissed. Hayner, Olette, and Pence walked out of the usual spot behind Yoko, but Yoko then heard Zera shouting.
"MAAAAAAARRRCCCCOOOOOOOOO!!!!" Yoko rolled her eyes, knowing who had yelled that.
"POLO!" she yelled back. She looked over at the tall stair way and saw a boy with blonde hair run up the stairs with Zera on his back. He was gasping for breath after running up the tall flight of stairs.
"There you are, Yoko!" Zera shouted, still on the boys back.
"This is your friend?" Seifer asked.
"Yup! Seifer, meet Yoko and, Yoko, meet Seifer; my trusty steed!" Zera said. Seifer dropped Zera who landed on her butt on the hard ground. Hayner walked up to Yoko.
"That is who you are looking for?" he asked her.
"Yeah," Yoko said in a bored tone.
"Why'd you yell out Marco?" Olette asked.
"Because! Marco Polo is a great way of finding someone you're looking for!" Zera said happily.
"Uhh...okay," Olette said, not really seeing the logic, but going along with it anyway. Hayner walked up to Zera.
"So...did it hurt when you fell from heaven?" he asked.
"I didn't fall from heaven. I fell from a sky after jumping off of some guy's back when we were going through this dark portal thingy. He was kidnapping me, but he was supposed to be taking me to Hershey Park, but he didn't! So I jumped and fell down here with Yoko!" she explained with a smile. He raised an eyebrow and turned to Yoko.
"She didn't get it did she?" he asked.
"Nope. There's a lot of things that go over her head, so don't expect her to get that," she said. "Besides, she's taken."
"Huh?" Zera said with an oblivious smile. Hayner hung his head down and sighed in defeat. Seifer then took his opportunity and walked up to Yoko.
"Hey hotstuff. How about you and I go to the alley and get to know each other better."
"I don't think so," Yoko said, not interested in the boy.
"Awe, come on."
"Hell no."
"Just for a little bit?"
"I said no you dipshit!" she said, very irritated now. Seifer walked back over to Rai and Fuu.
"...She so digs me..." he said.
"Moron," Fuu said.
"So now that we've found each other, what are we gonna do now?" Zera asked.
"Find some way to find Sora, Riku, and the others," Yoko suggested.
"You know Sora?" Pence asked.
"Yeppers!" Zera replied.
"He's been here before," Olette said.
"Really? Is he coming back anytime soon?" Yoko asked.
"I...don't think so," Pence said.
"Any way we can get to Traverse Town or someplace so we can go look for him?" Zera asked.
"There's a train that might be able to take you somewhere," Hayner told them.
"Alright! Let's get going!" Zera said, pumping her fist into the air.
"You guys could at least stay here for a night and get what you need today so you'll be ready and rested for tomorrow," Olette offered. "And you can stay at my house!"
"Oh joy," Yoko said sarcastically.
"Thankies!" Zera said. Olette smiled, and they then left for the market street, leaving Seifer and his gang there.
"She is so totally in to me," Seifer said before they walked off back to the Sandlot.
