Chapter Two: In Pieces

Your lips say you love

"Another adventure?" Sora asks with excitement shining through his face.

"We're meeting them in a week?" Riku questions, snatching the King Mickey stamped letter from Sora's hand, and got a closer look.

"What's that?" Roxas asks, peaking over Riku's shoulder.

"King Mickey wants us to protect a..." Sora snatched back the letter for a recap. Before Riku said anything, Sora snickered at him. "... 'reincarnation trio of Jewel's Haven'... sounds like a mouthful. I've never heard of Jewel's Haven before."

"Sounds more like babysitting," Riku muttered. Sora punched his arm. "Hey!"

Your eyes say you hate

"These people need our help," Sora says, crossing his arms. "And besides, we haven't done anything over a year, and we have a chance of exploring a whole new world!"

"I just hope we're not babysitting some whiny teenagers," Riku mumbles, turning on his heel for his room. "I'm going to sleep."

As if on cue, a disc falls out of the yellow envelope. Sora, after blankly pointing out the obvious, picks it up. He led the other two to his cluttered room, where his computer sat. He popped in the disc, and the monitor went black for half a second. Then three colors shined: green, blue, then red. The colors then shaped into figures: a green bow, a blue sword, and a red staff.

Sora scratched his head in puzzlement of the figures, then hovered the computer mouse over the blue sword, and a video pulled up. It was a tall, muscular male with brown hair and light brown eyes. His posture showed a leader, and his face showed experience. He wore all black, maybe as a uniform, then summoned up a long sword. An opponent, perhaps his age, followed the same suit. The two hacked swords, a time skip passed, and the opponent was on the floor, staring nervously at the young man's sword. The clip faded out, and a title appeared,
"Prince Noah, reincarnation of King David."

"Huh."

"What's the next one?" Roxas thought aloud.

A green arrow shined, and a X was formed from two curved daggers. A clip was pulled up, showing a short female, also wearing the all black uniform, had her brown hair pulled back into a tight bun. Her face showed no emotions at all. An ivory bow with emeralds decorating the ends appeared in her hands, along with a quiver with two dozen arrows. Targets appeared in front of her at different distances. Her eyes began glowing a soft green as she reached for her first arrow and shot it straight to the first red dot. The action was repeated until she reached for her last arrow. Like before, a title appeared,
"Dragon Archer Zia, the reincarnation of Aros."

"Dragon Archer, what?" Riku asks with disbelief. "Weird ass title."

And finally, the red staff. An average height, ruby red haired male was standing nervously in a rink. His emerald eyes grew wide when he saw ice spears flying at him. His eyes and hands glowed red like his hair to stop the spears just in time. He reverted them back to their original form; water. He used the water to mimic a large tidal wave upon his opponent, who used his powers to turn the wave back into ice. Frustrated, he seemed to grab the thin air and cast it towards his opponent. Without realizing anything, he was tossed back. The glow on his eyes and hands disappeared, showing the original innocent red head. "Magician and Alchemist Deo, the reincarnation of Rani."

"I dunno about you guys," Sora says, putting his hands behind his head. "But I like Deo. I want to meet him."

Riku admitted defeat. "This looks like an interesting mix. But I still want to know why King Mickey wants us protecting these three. They look like they can handle things on there own."

"Guess we'll find out in a week," Roxas says, with a shrug.

You promise me the sky

Then toss me like a stone

"Oh, goody, we're getting babysitters," the short female brunette, Zia, says sarcastically, crossing her arms.

"Zia, it's for our protection," Deo, the red headed magician, muttered, knowing it won't change the stubborn archer's mind. The female sighed. She was tired of repeating herself over and over; she finally learned to just give up.

"Sora, Roxas, and Riku were the best King Mickey could find," the headmaster explained, for the unknown time. "They did save the universe once. Please show respect."

"Yes, sir," the two boys said in sync, with a bow of their heads. The female still had her arms crossed, and nose in the air.

Alone with all your secrets
And regrets

"Zia, please,"Headmaster spoke. "At least do it for Odex." Everything about her seemed to drop. Her arms, her expression, everything. A shiver crawled up her body. She sighed and nodded her head. "Thank you, they will arrive in a week. Together, we shall discuss your future."

"Yes, sir," the three said before they were dismissed.

"I've never had a Shadow before," the tall, muscular Noah said when they made it down to the Academy's mess hall. "This'll be fun."

"Keyblade wielders, coming here, isn't it exciting?" Deo asks, a bit dreamy, which he didn't intend. "We all could learn something."

"I can protect myself, thanks," Zia stubbornly reminds. "Keyblade wielder or not, no one needs to protect my ass."

"C'mon, Zia, it'd be interesting seeing a Keyblade," Noah says. "Have you ever seen a Keyblade?"

She shrugs, and admits, "No, but I've heard enough about them to say they bring nothing but trouble." And with that, she stormed off to her dorm. The boys sighed, letting the female walk off with a hot trail behind.

"Twenty bucks on her liking one," Noah teases. Deo rolls his eyes.

"She doesn't even know what 'like' means. Thirty says she'll beat one."

The prince and the magician laughed, and did their handshake; agreeing to the bet.

Don't lie

Yaay! Longer chapter. Hope someone enjoys it, and is kind enough to leave a review. Anywho, my schedule will be posts on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Twice a week seems fair enough. I hope it is.
