Little Menace: Hello everybody this is my second attempt and writing a Kingdom Hearts story because the last one got flamed so much that i had to delete it i would have committed suicide. Any without further ado here is the official first chapter introducing my character who's bio's will be available to view at the end of this short chapter.
I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock."Shut up, you stupid thing," I thought as I lazily swung my hand to hit the snooze button."It' only 10:30." But then I realized what I just thought.
"Oh crap! It's 10:30. I'm going to be late for my own graduation!" I yelled, jumping out of bed. I summoned my Familiar; he faded in and yawned.
"Garadus, get my clothes please!" I asked my Bird Familiar. Garadus walked into the laundry room and grabbed my clothes with his beak. I took a quick shower and put on my clothes: a green and white body suit that was armored from the knees down and Mmy right torso which acted as a half breast plate, my shoulder is armored, and my arms from my elbow's down.
"Let's go Garadus," I said impatiently, Garadus squawked at me.
"Don't give me that tone you arrogant bird," I said hopping on Garadus' back.
"Now let's go. if I don't become a junior Soul Guard you won' get your armor," I teased. At that moment Garadus started from a slow trot to a full blown run and took flight. I was nearly thrown off his back at the speed he was going. But I caught myself and gripped Garadus' reins
"That's what I'm talking 'bout boy, we can make it before they call my name," I said happily.
At Graduation
Marina and Arid sat in their suits. Marina had on a dark blue and light blue body suit with armor in the same places as Gale but she had both breast plates. Arid had on a red and dark brown bodysuit with armor in the same positions as Gale.
"Hehehe, Arid, where's Gale?" Marina said with a smile.
"I wish I knew. I told him to set his alarm clock for 30 minutes before the ceremony started."
"This is the second biggest day of our lives- well third for me- but we promised to spend this day together," Marina said.
"Well, you know Gale is a litter scatter brained," Arid said.
"Yeah but he's supposed to be a battle genius. He advanced faster than anyone in the academy every has. He's graduating 3 years before his class," Marina said.
"Don't worry, Mary, he'll be here," Arid said.
"Marina Diamond," the announcer called. Marina got up from her seat and went on stage. Once on stage, she received a massive applause as she was handed her pure white helmet. She put it on and it turned from a pure white mask to a blue and light blue visor. She took off her mask and was handed a letter. She didn't open it. Marina had to wait until everyone was allowed. She waved to the crowd before she sat down.
"He's almost up next," Marina said.
"He'll be here just wait," Arid said as another name was called.
"Arid Huesos." Arid went up there and sat down once he received his helmet.
"He's up next and he's not here. He's not gonna get his helmet and then he'll be stuck as a practitioner for another year."
"Gale Erodes," the announcer called. There was a pause before he called Gale's name again.
"He's coming" Marina called.
"Well, we can't wait. We must proceed with the ceremony," the announcer said.
"Don't worry." Marina said with a frightening smile. After a few more seconds, the announcer said we were going to move on.
"Wait! I think I see something," Arid said, squinting his eye. He was right, there was something in the distance flying fast.
"I think that's Gale," Arid said waving in the distance and the figure waved back.
"Hey! I'm here!" Gale called from far away.
Garadus dove down and dissipated into light as Gale rolled onto the stage right next to the announcer
"Hello there, Head Master Rickers," Gale said with a smile.
"Hello there, Gale. I believe this is yours," Rickers said with a snarl as he handed Gale his helmet and letter.
Rickers sat down and an old man got up and went to the microphone.
"Lightning Leader Honorius," Gale said with a bow.
"Nice entrance Gale," Honorius said with a smile. Gale gave a nervous laugh and scratched the back of his head.
"We have concluded another year here at Soul Seeker Academy, and what year it has been. We have faced numerous Heartless attacks, and recently the Nobodies has disappeared. But I think it was our own students that have caused more damage and problems for the school then any enemy we could ever face," Honorius gave a hazy laugh.
"But enough with the rambling of a decrepit old man, let's have our Valedictorian Gale Erodes give the farewell speech," Honorius said clapping. The crowd erupted into an applause. Gale walked over to the microphone and smiled.
"Well everyone, we're finally here," Gale started.
"Okay, look. I didn't prepare a speech; I felt like this day didn't need any planning," Gale started.
"I wanted to say that I will miss everyone- I mean we've been through a lot - and I know that some of us may see each other every now and again, but it won' be the same," Gale said.
"And even though some friendships might not be the same, we all will still be together in one way or another," Gale said.
"Because Sunt terra mare et caelum meet," Gale started and everyone joined in.
"Quo tredecim caliginosa eicietur foras per septem luminaria," they said. At that moment everyone summoned an element- some fire, others water- and launched them into the skies causing a massive explosion that looked like fireworks.
That night a huge beach party was thrown for all those who graduated. Everyone was laughing and having fun for one last night before they all went to senior soldier training.
"Marina please!" Gale said with a cough. Marina had Gale in a choke hold.
"You did it again, you scatter brain!" Marina said.
"Marina, come on. He did make it, didn't he? And with a nice entrance," Arid said.
"I don't care. You made me worry, you asshole!" Marina said tightening her grip.
"Marina," Gale whispered and air escaped his lungs. Marina let Gale go, letting him fall to the floor.
"Well, at least you did make it on time; even though it was the last-minute," Marina said.
"So you already agree with me," Arid said.
"Yes, but Gale- so help me god- if you come at the last moment for something again, I'll have Beatrice devour you," Marina said with a smile and an aura of death radiating from her.
"Yes ma'am," Gale said shaking.
"Now, let's party!" Marina yelled and everyone cheered in agreement. They all partied late into the night. Everyone danced, drank, and went skinny dripping. It was a night to remember, and when everyone went home; Marina, Arid, and Gale stayed near the water. Arid and Gale had stripped down to swim trunks, while Marina was in a two piece bikini.
"Hey guys, everyone else opened their letter, I think it's about time we did as well," Marina said her letter in hand.
"Yeah, we need to see what divisions we are in," Gale said. The three grabbed their letters and held them.
"You ready," Arid said; his two friends nodded.
"Alright, 1,2,3." They all ripped their letters open and read their letters
"I'm a part of the Magic Division," Marina said.
"I'm a part of the Strength Division," Arid said. Gale stayed silent as he stared at his letter.
"Gale what division are you apart of?" Arid said. Gale tried to say it but the words were stuck in his throat.
"Ga-"
"YAHOOOOOO!" Gale yelled.
"I'm a part of the Sky Force!" Gale said with a wide smile.
"That's awesome Gale," Marina said as Gale used his wind attributed powers and flew around in the sky. Gale landed next to his friends.
"I'm so proud of you Gale; they don't accept many people into the Sky Force," Marina said.
"Thanks," Gale said. As they were congratulating each other, a meteor shower started. They were so dazzled with the spectacle that they didn't notice a ship heading their way until Arid caught a glimpse.
"Hey you guys, see that!" Arid said squinting.
"Is that a meteor?" Gale said.
"No, a meteor doesn't move that way. Oh my god, it's a spaceship!" Marina said pushing Gale and Arid out of the way. The ship crashed next to them creating a large explosion which resulted in a giant crater.
"What the hell is that thing?" Gale said.
"What the hell do you think it is? It' a space ship," Marina said.
"Wait, be quiet," Arid said.
"Do you hear that? Someone in there!" Arid said getting up and running to the ship. He pried the door open and three people fell out.
