Dark Ace
Captured Keybladers
Ace, Tai, and Riku had quickly approached a group of three planets, but decided to stop by at one rural looking place with houses like those of samurais or people from Japan. They landed there and walked out through the forest to see a big city below. They looked around, trying to see where the Heartless were, but couldnt find anything.
"King Mickey said there were Heartless in the other worlds, but where would they be?", Riku asked, walking away to sit on a boulder next to a mountain side.
"Im not sure, but maybe we should check out the city", Ace said. They walked there and began making their way down a steep hill. Tai was already ahead of them and they reached the wall in little time. They looked to the side and saw a group of samurai charging them. They brandished their keyblades and got ready. Several samurai had surrounded them.
"Who are you?", one yelled.
"Just simple travelers", Ace said, not wanting to reveal their names yet. The samurai looked at each other, but did not sheathe their swords. A man walked through the group. He wore green breastplate and red legging armor with a red cape instead of the other's all red suit of armor.
"Then why do you try sneaking in from the side?", he asked.
"We werent sneaking in", Tai said,"We were over in the woods up there when we saw this city and came."
"So, you came from the barbarians land?", he yelled. The group was confused at this point.
"What are you talking about?", Riku asked.
"You have strange weapons...foreign to us", the man said,"How do we know you arent just a spy?" Tai grew impatient now.
"You know what!", he yelled,"You dont have to believe us! But attack and you die!" He got his keyblade ready and the surrounding samurai moved foward, protective of their leader.
"Put them in the cells", the man said as he turned and began walking away. The group faced about twenty samurai, but quickly began slashing away at them as they charged. The man turned back to watch now. Tai had slashed a man across the stomach, but his sword was knocked out of his hand as another ran in and they captured him. He was thrown away out of the group and the keyblade was taken away. Riku slashed past two and then stabbed another. He kicked one away as he slashed another two in half. Ace was simply slashing those who came near him. There were only five left, but the remainder just charged Riku. He easily blocked two and slashed one, but two more grabbed the keyblade by the hilt and ripped it from Riku's hand. Ace finished the rest and turned to the commander who now hand Riku and Tai bound by ropes and the two keyblades in his hands. He stabbed them into the ground and unsheathed his sword. Ace waited patiently as he walked to him. "Impressive", he said.
"We've had training", Ace replied. The man slashed at him, but he blocked and sweep kicked him. The commander just jumped up and tried a downward slash, but was blocked again when Ace heard yelling from behind. He rose and shoved the man away to look back. A group of twenty or so more samurai were charging. "Damn...This is bad", he muttered as he blocked another attack.
"Get him!", the man leading the group yelled as they came closer. Ace gritted his teeth and kicked the man away. He ran away, back through the forest as the men gathered below. He looked back and saw Tai looking at him hatefully, but Riku was just looking at the ground, uncaring. Ace sighed and ran up into the forest. Too many men...I'll get them back though. Ace ran through the forest as the group of men stayed away. He got to the cliff again where they had sat and looked up. The commander burst through the forest at that point.
"We arent done!", he yelled. Ace ran to the side of the mountain and jumped onto a rock.
"No, we arent", he said, grimly as he began floating through the air up the side of the mountain. The commander gaped at that. Ace landed at the top and looked down at the man there. This is definatly not over. He walked off around as the commander was left there yelling at him. He stood there, gritting his teeth at Ace, but a man stepped out next to him. He wore a red cloak and looked up at where Ace left too.
"You want the power to beat him?", the man asked.
"Who are you?", he yelled, pointing his sword at him.
"Someone who hates that man as well", he replied.
"Why trust you?", the commander asked.
"Its me or nothing", the man replied.
"...What do I do?", he finally gave in.
