Chapter 2
The Shard
"So what brings you back here? To Earth?" Colonel Lennox placed a smile as he jogged towards the girl.
Hikari turned around with a huge smile, "We're actually here on a mission from our Master," She said, but haven't finished her sentence yet because Colonel Lennox interrupted.
"Who's this Master anyway? Giving missions to a fifteen year old girl? He has to be a wacko sending little girls doing dangerous missions." Colonel Lennox scoffed, crossing his arms over his chest and his eyebrows furrowed down in frustration.
Ventus and Hikari almost laugh at his comment. The blonde elbowed the brunette as she was almost laughing. They were still thinking that she's just a fifteen year old? The truth is that she's actually an eighteen year old keyblade wielder, not a kid anymore. Then the brunette just remembered that when she came here, to Earth, is when she was doing her Mark of Mastery Exam with Sora and Riku. They moved back two years, which means Hikari's a thirteen year old girl. She face palmed, how could she forget to tell them about her real age? But then again, it'll be funny to watch them going crazy when she told them her real age.
"You'll be surprise who my Master is, Major Lennox." Hikari wiggled her finger as she 'tsk'ed.
"It's Colonel now, call me Will if you want, and who's this Master of yours?" Colonel Lennox asked.
Hikari grinned, "Master Yen Sid! Along with him," She jabbed her thumb to Ventus. "—King Mickey Mouse, Master Aqua, and Master Terra! And of course; me, Sora, and Riku are Masters too," She exclaims proudly.
Colonel Lennox and Captain Epps chocked after hearing 'Master Riku'. The silver headed kid that loves to mess with Ironhide? Is now a Master? They couldn't believe what they're hearing, even Ironhide let out some sort of a snort from his grills.
"Pfft~! You got to be kidding me!" Captain Epps laughed as he slapped his knee while laughing like a hyena. He and Colonel Lennox stopped laughing as they saw Ventus and Hikari shaking their heads with a smile. "You serious? Dang, didn't believe it the first time." he asked.
Hikari nodded, "Yup!" She popped the 'p'. "So… How have you all been doing? And what about the Heartless?" She asked after feeling a bit awkward about the silence between them all.
"We have been doing well, thank you for asking. It's you that should be asked by us," Ratchet crossed his arms while Hikari rolled her eyes. "And as for the Heartless… Not so good, those little pests have been growing rapidly and we certainly don't know how to stop them." He continued.
Hikari laugh, "Well, why didn't you just ask for us to go back?" she asked.
"We did," Ironhide cut in. "We've tried calling you for thousands of time and yet you still don't answer any of our calls." He glared.
The brunette raised an eyebrow before shoving her hand into her pocket, looking for the object two years ago that has been given from Captain Epps. After searching in her rather small on the outside but big on the inside pocket, she finally touches a metal object. Grinning happily, she pulled out the cell phone.
"Well…," Hikari nervously began. "I kind of crash it during a fight. Dunno how to fix it and don't have the tool to fix it. So um… Sorry?" She smiled nervously.
Optimus chuckled, "No matter, Little One. Wheeljack shall fix your cellular phone in no time." He nodded his head.
"Wheeljack? The Scientist Ratchet talked about your holoforms? He's here? Let me guess… Newcomers?" Hikari crossed her arms as the three Autobots only nodded.
"You have no idea," Ironhide grunted and Ratchet elbowed him. He gave a confused expression to the medic as he threw his hands up in the air.
Ventus seemed to notice the two other vehicles that were just sitting there, not transforming or even moving from their spot. Hikari has told him something about black and white before and that truck, he has never heard it from Hikari. She never did say anything about a friend who disguised its self as a cream colored thingamajig. Maybe he needs to see Namine and Xikari about getting his Memories checked. Finally deciding to ask about those two thingamajig or vehicles, he elbowed Hikari and pointed his finger at the two thingamajigs.
"Hey Hikari, did you notice the two new thingamajig? You never told me anything about those kinds…" Ventus whispered.
Hikari seems to notice when Ventus mentioned the two vehicles. "Hey Boss Bot!" She cupped her mouth and yelled to the Autobot Leader. The Autobot Leader turned his head towards the brunette as Ventus laughed nervously. Hikari was just too straight forwards. "Do you know anything about those two? Are they newcomers too? Who are their names? What kind of vehicles are they? Do they fight like you too? What are their—," She was cut off by Colonel Lennox, who covered her mouth with his hand.
"Okay, Hikari… I think that's enough…" Colonel Lennox chuckled while Hikari kept on muffling questions for The Autobots. "Optimus will explain all of your questions." He continued.
Optimus let out a small chuckle. The little sparkling was still the same like she was two years ago, curious yet determined. "To answers your questions, little one… They are our new comrades indeed. But before I answer the rest of your questions, do you remember our war between the Autobots and Decepticons?" He asked.
"Yeah…?" Hikari said, not following what the leader was talking about.
"How would you feel when I told you that some of them have joined our army?"
Optimus direct his hand to the car and the truck, who were transforming into their bi-pedal mode. As the two vehicles transformed, Ventus and Hikari stared in awe while following up to see the faces of the two owners of the car and the truck. Their blue eyes widened in a mix of shock, confusion, awe, and joy. Hikari was shocked to see the Decepticons, who tried to kill her and tried to use her powers as a keyblade wielder, are there standing in front of her! Megatron the leader of the Decepticon and Barricade the police officer who's the first Decepticon she has ever met.
"Hello," Megatron greeted with somewhat a smile. He had regretted to follow the path of The Fallen. Now, his intention is to correct the things he has done in his past live, starting from apologizing to this human sparkling. It may seem wrong to see the ex mighty Decepticon Lord to be apologizing, but he's now walking down the path of Light. "I want to apologize on what has happen in the past…" He continued, feeling a bit awkward.
Hikari stayed quiet. She just had so many things in her mind right now! The Decepticons changed sides, including the almighty leader! And now he's apologizing to her for his mistakes! She can just ignore him and his comrades, but that would be mean. His mistakes were just too far and he has gone deep into the Darkness. But then again, Riku did walk the same path as Megatron did and she forgives him with all her heart. She couldn't forgive Master Xehanort or the Organization for what they've done. Their mistakes were just unforgivable, but Megatron did converted to the Light and good side.
"Hikari?" Colonel Lennox asked as he was about to put his hand on her shoulder.
"What? What are you apologizing for? We never met before… Maybe you're mistaken me for someone else." The keyblade wielder gave a shrug and grinned happily.
The Autobots, the ex-Decepticons, Colonel Lennox, and Captain Epps gave her a surprise look. Has this girl forgotten all about what happened two years ago? Did she have a slight amnesia in the two years? How could she forget about the incident at Egypt? It was the hardest thing to cover up! They even had to come up with an excuse of 'making a movie' to cover things up. The public seems to agree on that excuse and they actually wait for that movie. So Colonel Lennox makes another excuse of a fail movie. It was amusing yet frustration too.
"Have you forgotten femme? We have fought-," Barricade tried to make Hikari remember, but she stopped him before he could even continue.
"I think you've mistaken." Hikari crossed her arms. "We just met today! So… Nice to meet ya two!" She smiled as she offered her hand to both Megatron and Barricade.
"But-," Barricade tried to argue, but Hikari gave a wink to him. The two Decepticons took a step back before exchanging looks at each other. The Autobots seemed to notice the brunette's plan. She was forgiving the Decepticons and was showing it with amnesia. "Very well, if that is what you want to play… Hello, Little One. My name is Barricade." He introduced.
"Nice to meet you Barricade!" Hikari shook his large finger. She turned to Megatron. "And your name is?" she asked, the keyblade wielder know his name, but she want to start out fresh.
"Megatron," The large ex-Decepticon shook the small hand.
Optimus couldn't help but let out a chuckle. Hikari was just so forgiving. He never met anyone who is willing to forgive anyone that has planned to kidnap her, kill her, or using her. It was a miracle. He smiled at the small brunette that was talking to her blonde cousin.
Ventus was amazed that Hikari could forgive a robot that was her enemy. He was sure glad that he has an adopted cousin like her and Sora. They both could be so forgiving and so truthful sometimes. Not to mention so childish. He was confused that if Master Xehanort ever went to the Light; he guessed that Hikari would never forgive him and the others wouldn't accept him either, he has to agreed on that.
Ventus cleared his throat as he felt three pairs of bright electric optics staring right at him while Hikari was talking to Megatron, Barricade, Colonel Lennox and Captain Epps. The blonde kicked the sand a little as he scratched the back of his head. His blue eyes glanced up to the sky as he exhaled deeply. He was getting the looks from the three robots. The blonde keyblade wielder thought that they were giving the looks because of they might overhead what the two soldiers were talking about. He chuckled lightly.
Hikari is his cousin. Not related by blood, but they are still cousins. The moment they found out that they're cousins was when Namine's mom called Ventus 'son'. That got the whole gang surprised. So when Namine's auntie adopted Sora and Hikari, that makes the two brunettes are cousins with Ventus. Namine was overjoyed when she has an older brother, but their mom was confused on how Ventus looked so young. Maybe that was because he was asleep for eleven years while his Heart was resting in Hikari's.
"So… Um… Hi?" Ventus said with a sheepishly grin, feeling awkward at the stares he was receiving.
"Greetings," Optimus nodded his head. "You are Ventus correct?" He asked.
Ventus nodded, feeling a bit relaxed. "Yeah… But call me Ven. It's easier to pronounce." He smiled at the tall and mighty Autobot Leader. "And my friends call me that too." He continued.
"Very well," Optimus nodded his head again with a small smile. "Are you somehow related to Hikari?"
Ventus sheepishly grinned, "Well… Yeah. I'm her cousin." He stated.
"What the Slag?" Ironhide cursed and both Autobots gave him a glare. "You're serious about being her relative? I thought that Sora is her only relative." He muttered the last sentence under his breath, but Ventus heard the last one.
"It's true, not by blood though," Ventus scratched the back of his head with a sigh. "My auntie and uncle adopted Sora and Hikari when they were…you know… alive…" he said sadly.
Optimus stared at the youngling with a frown. Just what have been these two younglings had been through? He has heard the story of Hikari when they were still suspecting her about being an enemy. He learned that she has been through a lot from losing her creators to losing her own life to save another life. He also has heard Sora's side of the story and Riku's too. The Autobot Leader was surprised to hear such dangerous adventures they've been through, but Ventus' story might be a lot different too.
"I'm sorry for your loss," Ratchet began.
"It's okay… I got over it and so does Hikari…" Ventus placed a bright smile on his lips. His head perked up and turn around as he heard Hikari was calling his name. The blonde slightly bowed his head to the three tall Cybertronian and left to see what his cousin was calling him for. He jogged down the beach to the shore and found that his cousin was pointing to flying object at the air. He narrowed his eyes and placed a hand on his eyebrows to block the sunlight. The flying object was rather big and was holding a bottle in its claws.
"Hey," Hikari let a grin replaced her curious look. "It's Bat Bat! Riku's Spirit! What's he doing here?" She asked.
"Beat's me…" Ventus shrugged.
Bat Bat flapped his wings towards shore, but didn't fly down to Ventus or Hikari's shoulder. He only flapped his wings to fly and dropped the bottle. The colorful bat spirit disappeared with a poof of clouds, leaving the falling bottle behind to the keyblade wielders. The blonde and the brunette stared up at the falling bottle, and it landed on Hikari's forehead. She falls straight into the water as Ventus caught the bottle that bounced off from Hikari's forehead. Colonel Lennox and Captain Epps gave a whistle and snickered while the Autobots looked concern for the brunette.
"Wow… You okay there Hikari?" Ventus asked as he holds back a laugh.
"Yeah… Just laugh, I know you want too…" Hikari replied dryly. Ventus started to laugh as he clutched his sides while holding the bottle in his hand. The brunette keybalde wielder rolled her eyes. "It was sarcasms Ven… Remember that; commit it to your memory, Pea Brain." She mocked with a smirk.
Ventus stopped laughing and gave a playful glare at his cousin, "Right, right, but really… Are you sure you're okay? Bat Bat did fly up high in the sky… You could have a concussion…" He stated, making Ratchet turn his attention to Hikari.
The CMO was about to scan the brunette, but she stopped him by waving her hands in front of her really fast and laughing nervously. "NO! Ratchet! I'm fine, really… This Pea Brain is just joking! I don't have a concussion! It'll take a lot more to make me have a concussion than just drop a bottle twenty feet above the air…" She grinned sheepishly.
Ratchet didn't look convinced, but nodded. "Alright… If that is what you said… I need you and your cousin to be in my Med Bay when we get back to base." He pointed his finger at the two keyblade wielders.
Hikari face palmed and slapped the back of Ventus' head. "Nice going Genius!" She hissed.
"Whatever," Ventus rolled his eyes and got the letter out of the bottle and a small round object fell to the sand. Hikari picked up the object while Ventus shrug; he stared at the symbol of the letter and his eyes widened in shock. "It's from the king!" He shouted, startling everyone at the beach.
Optimus raised an optic ridge at the word 'king'. He has met the King two years ago and he and his men couldn't believe their optics. The King is a giant mouse from a Disney cartoon show that young Annabelle love to watch, a Duck and a tall Dog also came with the King. They can talk too. From all the information the Cybertronians gathered, animals can't said a word, let alone speak a full sentence. When Optimus explained to the new arrivals, one of them actually glitched or fainted hearing that animals can talk, it was out of logic.
"Well?" Hikari raised her brown eyebrow, looking irritated that Ventus was only staring at the symbol. "Read it and let's find out what King Mickey is saying!" She slapped the back of his head.
"Aw! Okay! Okay! Sheez… Just stop slapping my head…" Ventus rubbed the spot where Hikari kept on slapping him and opened the scrolled letter.
Dear Ven and Hikari,
It's me, Riku. King Mickey told me to write this letter to you guys and let Bat Bat delivered the message. Earlier Pluto forgot to give you the device; Chip and Dale make for you guys on your mission. Sorry if Bat Bat got to you guys a tad bit late. We have to replace the old one with the new one because Pluto used it as a doggy chew toy. Either way, it was kaput when I grab it from Pluto. Good luck finding the source of the Energy Burst.
P.S Did you like my way of sending the message Hikari?
—Riku
Hikai felt a vein popped to her forehead. She clenched her fist as her eyes shown anger. "I can't believe it…" She growled.
"Yeah," Ventus nodded his head. "I can't believe that Riku still used the word 'kaput'." He shook his head as he placed the letter back into the bottle.
Hikari face palmed and sighed heavily. "That's not it! I'm gonna get him next time…" She mumbled as she gripped on the small tracking device.
Captain Epps stared at the two bickering keyblade wielders. He coughed to gain the two's attention. They both turned their heads to African-American. "So… What did your King say? Just curious and all about a giant mouse could write…" He sheepishly smiled.
"Actually, it was Riku." Ventus smiled. "He forgot to gives us this device for tracking the freaky Energy Burst." He explained.
"Energy Burst?" Colonel Lennox questioned.
"Yeah… King Mickey's computer started to fizz when the Energy Burst happened. It was weird though, every world was getting disturbed by the Energy. Maybe it was because World Earth is a Multi World." Hikari answered the Colonel.
"It's Planet Earth," Colonel Lennox corrected. "And what's this about Multi World?" He asked again.
"Planet Earth seems to be the only Multi World that ever existed. Tron said this place has more than one world." Ventus said and turned the tracker device on. "And apparently, I'm getting a really high signal from… you." His eyes widened as the tracker beeped louder when nearing Hikari.
The five Cybertronians stared with wide optics at the brunette while Colonel Lennox and Captain Epps stared with an eyebrow raised. Hikari glanced around and pointed a finger to herself, "Me? But I'm not blowing up or anything… did I blow up?" she asked.
"You didn't… But the tracker keeps on beeping. Do you have something in your pockets?" Ventus asked as he approached the brunette.
"Hold on…" Hikari said as she digs into her pocket. She took out Potions, Ethers, and other things that were strange in the optics and eyes of Cybertronians and humans. "Ah… Is this it?" She asked as she held out a glowing blue rock.
"Primus… It's the AllSpark…" Barricade breathes at the last shard.
Ventus gulped as he narrowed the tracking device and it went beeping like crazy.
"Yup… That's it alright," Ventus said. "Why did you keep the cause of the Energy Burst in your pocket anyway?" He asked.
Hikari shrugged, "Hey… It's a keyblade. Here, let me show it to you." She said and concentrated on the piece of shard. She closed her eyes and the silver keyblade with blue runes appeared in her hand. The five Cybertronians stared in shock as the others whistled. Hikari reopened her eyes and grinned happily as she swung the keyblade around. "See? It's a keyblade!" She grinned happily.
"Wow… It's long, sharp, and looks really light…" Ventus examines the keyblade and smiled brightly. "What did you named it?" He asked as he crossed his arms.
"Spark of Matrix… The blades looked a lot like Boss Bot's Matrix of Leadership." Hikari explained as she placed the keyblade over her shoulder.
Optimus only stared at the keyblade wielder. He was surprised to see the last of the AllSpark still existing and was safe in the hands of a sparkling. He bends down on one knee as his face leaned forwards to both Ventus and Hikari, who took a step back and stared at the pair of electric blue optics that belongs to the Leader of the Autobots.
"If the tracker Riku gave you two is attracted to the AllSpark, then it means," Optimus began with a small smile of hope.
"That the Energy Burst comes from the pieces of the AllSpark!" both Ventus and Hikari exclaimed.
