A/N: Hi. Welcome back to my story! Sorry for the long update. Before I begin, I'll indicate what Neku and Joshua's attack styles are. (If you've played TWEWY, and made it to week 2 or the end of the game, no need to read this!)
Neku:
Neku is able to use Pins for his attacks. His deck (which is my main deck from TWEWY. Sorry, couldn't come up with anything else.) Contains the pins: Frozen Cool; One Stroke, Vast Wealth; Lightning Rook; Lightning Anger; Healing Bunny and Playmate Beam (He should be allowed to have a full deck.).
Joshua:
Joshua uses his cell phone to attack. His methods consist of typing digits into his cell to make random objects fall from the sky and smack enemies. He has to sidestep to avoid attacks and he can also use his camera on his phone to stun foes. He is also able to levitate into the air and fire beams of light from the sky.
That's it. Here's the disclaimer and after that, I'll shut up and let you read the story.
I do NOT own Kingdom Hearts or TWEWY. I only own the fact that my OCs are in this story. Square Enix owns TWEWY and Kingdom Hearts.
Yep. Here's the chapter.
Chapter 3: The Bells of Notre Dame!
(Sora's Side- La Cité des Cloches)
Sora and Neku found themselves in a new location. It clearly wasn't Traverse Town. How did they know this? Easy.
It was daytime in this town. The sounds of bells were faint but Sora and Neku could clearly hear them. This towns color also weren't as bright as Traverse Towns. Most of the buildings had creamish colored bricks, red colored bricks and other colors that were quite dull in tint and blue tiled roofs. The road was also paved with bricks.
"Bonjour M'sieur Neku and M'sieur Sora. Welcome to Notre Dame, the city of bells!"
Penelope's voice startled Neku and Sora.
"Ack! Where'd you come from?!" Neku asked in surprise. "Um…I flew? Ha-ha, just kidding. How can you FLY to a Sleeping World?" Penelope asked, trying to make a joke out of it.
Sadly, neither Sora nor Neku got it.
"Does EVERYONE have no sense of humor? I mean REALLY. Well, before we begin, I shall tell you something viral about this world, considering the fact it was based from a move called The Hunchback of Notre Dame! You see…"
"Shut up! Stop talking so we can go." Neku growled.
Penelope stared at Neku before huffing. "Wow Neku. Just wow. Now you think I am a f****** side character with no damn speaking role, huh? Why is it that all of you TWEWY characters think so little of me?"
"Penelope, listen to Neku. He's right you know." Sora indicated before he and Neku along with Chow-Chow, who JUST appeared, left Penelope.
"You know what? Fine! I'll stay right…aw screw it. Wait for me!" Penelope shouted before she ran after Sora and Neku.
Then, the three passed by a man in black, but they all began walking slowly except for Penelope.
"Stop."
"Who? Us?" Sora asked in confusion, wondering why he was stopped.
"Why, isn't it Judge Claude Frollo, the corrupt judge of Notre Dame." Penelope stated in annoyance, clearly sensing Frollo was the bad guy here.
Frollo didn't hear Penelope's rude comment, but he suspiciously stared at the three before saying, "I've never seen any of you around here before. Your names?"
"I'm Sora, the girl is Penelope and the guy with headphones is Neku." Sora answered as he put his arms behind his head and smiling that signature Sora smile of his.
Then Frollo insulted their attire. "Such disgusting attire, I know what you are."
"And I also know what you are, you jackass. We aren't gypsies and if you think we are, you need to see a therapist."
Unfortunately, Frollo didn't hear Penelope AGAIN.
Then they heard a guy say, "Judge Frollo, sir!"
As if on cue, a guy with golden armor appeared.
"How many characters need to appear at once?!" Penelope stubbornly asked.
"What is the matter, Captain Phoebus? Can't you see I'm interrogating these Gypsies?" Frollo asked, sounding annoyed.
"WHAT THE HELL? I SAID WE WEREN'T GYPSIES YOU LITTLE SON OF A…"
"Young lady, I am quite sure you are a gypsy. Especially with that attire of yours. And excuse your language."
Penelope's eye twitched. And then Penelope did something that would probably be remembered for a long time. She begin swearing a LOT at Frollo, and she made Sora, Neku, Chow-Chow, Phoebus and Judge Frollo all stare at the Dream Eater in shock of her language usage.
Then Neku had to literally whack Penelope and cover her mouth to get her to shut up.
"Sorry about her. She kind of…says what she wants." Sora indicated.
"Anyway, these kids here, sir? They are just two boys and a girl." Sora crossed his arms and tilted his head as Phoebus spoke.
"Kids? What the…"
Neku covered Penelope's mouth again.
"I shall be the judge of that."
Phoebus looked away for a bit and almost said something, but didn't.
"Now, Captain, did you have something to report to me or did you not?"
Phoebus gasped then nodded.
"Yes sir. Monsters- they've invaded the square!"
Penelope almost said something, but Sora stopped her.
"Monsters?" Sora summoned his Keyblade. "I'll take care of it! Neku, Penelope! Come on!"
Neku nodded and activated his pins and he and Sora ran off.
"HEY! I never agreed to this. Ugh…boys will be boys. Come on Chow-Chow!" Penelope then summoned Leviathan before going after Sora and Neku.
"Hey, wait! It's not safe!" Phoebus shouted before going after them.
Then Frollo growled, "This city is overrun! For decades I've worked to purge the city of those wretched gypsies," Darkness was shrouding Frollo. "And now the streets teem with even more disgusting vermin that threaten law and order."
Sora, Neku and Penelope rushed to the square. Nobody was there except a guy in this King of Fools costume riding and Elephant Nightmare with Nightmares surrounding it.
"What the f***?!" Penelope cursed.
"PENELOPE!"
"Sorry."
"I knew there were Dream Eaters!" Sora shouted.
Sora charged and Neku and Penelope went after him.
Then Sora started shouting at the guy. "What are you doing? You need to run!"
"Don't tell him what to do, idiot!" Penelope snapped.
Then the guy looked at Sora and was like, "Oh no, I couldn't."
Neku blinked in surprise.
"That's Quasimodo." Penelope indicated.
"What is with his face?"
"It's not that bad. Neku." Penelope stated.
"Yeah…good point."
"I mean, the other characters in this world think he's ugly and he's a monster but he is actually a nice guy."
"Penelope, I get it."
"I mean, just cause he looks different doesn't mean he can be judged."
"PENELOPE! SHUT UP AND QUIT GETTING SIDETRACKED OVER NOTHING!" Neku snapped.
"Alright, fine. You're mean Neku."
Then Quasimodo continued.
"Today's the festival. And look! I'm the King of Fools."
It was clearly obvious by the jester hat and the king's cape that he was the King of Fools.
Then a Nightmare Komory Bat flew and Phoebus appeared and killed it with his sword.
Frollo appeared and went by Phoebus and he had a nasty glare on his face that was directed at Quasi. And he looked like he was about to yell.
Penelope noticed and she hesitated to do something, but she didn't.
"Quasimodo!"
Quasimodo noticed Frollo and gasped. A look of fear was on his face but he turned away a little and almost touched his crown before putting his head down a bit and saying, "It's my master."
Then the Elephant nightmares eyes flashed and it went up on two feet, scaring Quasimodo as it knocked him off, causing Quasi to yelp. Sora instantly ran and Neku hesitated, but he followed Sora.
The Dream Eaters surrounded Quasimodo as he pleaded, "No! Oh please stop."
That didn't work out very well, sadly.
"Why doesn't anything ever go the way I want it to?"
Sora ran up and slid a little but managed to stop himself and Neku ran too, but he didn't slip unlike Sora. Penelope was waiting patiently for something.
Sora turned his head to Quasi as he had his head down and ordered, "Get to safety!"
A woman then walked up. "Let me help."
Penelope said the woman's name quietly, "That's Esmeralda."
Sora didn't look at Esmeralda, but he asked, "Huh? Who are you?"
"IT'S ESMERALDA! I SWEAR IF YOU AND NEKU DIDN'T LISTEN, NAMES WOULD'VE BEEN MUCH EASIER, HOWEVER, LIKE USUAL, I'M THE SIDE CHARACTER WHO NOONE GIVES A DAMN ABOUT!" Penelope shouted in anger.
Like usual, Penelope was ignored.
"I'm Esmeralda. I'm a gypsy." Esmeralda answered.
Sora nodded. "Thank you. I'm Sora and the Headphones guy is Neku."
Penelope frowned when she was forgotten. "You win Sora. I'm leaving. I think I'll find her here." Penelope then vanished to Riku's side temporarily.
That was when Esmeralda held her hand out to Quasimodo, who looked at her hand and then looked at Esmeralda, who smiled at him.
Then Esmeralda and Quasimodo fled inside the Church and Phoebus smiled softly. Frollo, however was even angrier.
"Gypsy Witch!" Frollo growled.
Sora and Neku got in their battle stances. "Okay. Now you've got my attention! Same with Neku and Penelope…"
Sora saw that Penelope was missing.
"Um…Sora? WHERE'S PENELOPE?!" Neku asked in panic.
"I think she left."
"Crap! HOW WILL WE TAKE ALL OF THESE DREAM EATERS OUT?!" Neku asked as he shook the Keyblade Wielder in panic.
"I'll help."
"Eh?"
Sora and Neku notices a girl that was dressed as some sort of Floral Dream Eater (The Wheeflower). She had long pink hair, fair skin and lilac eyes with long eyelashes that curled to the side.
"I'm Roselyynn. You must be Sora and Neku. Penelope left, huh?"
"You know Penelope?" Sora questioned.
"Yes. She's one of my best friends. I remember not seeing her for a long time."
Sora felt as if that seemed familiar from somewhere.
"I'll help you out in her absence. Now lets go!"
Sora, Neku and Roselyynn got in their battle stances.
Sora started fighting the Nightmares with his Keyblade while Neku fired Lightning at them. Roselyynn fought gracefully as if she were dancing, blasting wind and thorns at her enemies.
Then the three did a combo attack.
Roselyynn spun around, quickly hitting enemies with sharp flower petals. Neku struck them from below with pillars of ice. Sora finished by quickly attacking the Nightmares with his Keyblade.
Roselyynn and Sora high-five. Neku just applauded.
And Penelope still wasn't back.
Sora then dismissed his Keyblade and frowned. "I wonder if that guy is alright. Quasi…" Sora crossed his arms in confusion. "What was it?"
That was when Penelope appeared at the top of the church. She saw that her friend was there. "Ah…this reminds me of back on Destiny Islands when I'd gaze at sunset alone from the Tree house view."
Penelope sighed. "And so far my plan of them forgetting me is working. As long as I'm forgotten in the past by them, everything should go as it should."
Penelope then turned away and went to Riku's side.
"We need to get to that Cathedral, right?" Sora asked looking at Neku and Roselyynn.
"Yeah…" Roselyynn noticed a glimmer of light from to top of the church "Did you see that glimmer just now?" Roselyynn asked.
"What…DON'T MESS WITH US." Neku growled.
Roselyynn sighed and brushed her hair to the side. "Sorry. We should get into the Cathedral."
Roselyynn guided them to the door of the cathedral (or it's the Church.) and led them inside. They avoided the Dream Eaters and went up to the balcony area with a view of Notre Dame.
When they got up there, Roselyynn thought she heard a familiar voice and she turned around to see nothing. "Wow…the city looks so beautiful from up here…" Sora sighed.
Roselyynn was pressing on the walls to find a door. Chow-Chow, who just randomly appeared, decided to help her and when he hopped to one side of the tower, he found a door. "Woof! Woof!" Chow-Chow barked in alert.
Sora, Neku and Roselyynn turned around. Chow-Chow was pointing at the door.
"Oh…sorry Chow-Chow. You are kind of reminding me of Penelope with directions." Sora indicated.
"Let's go in then, Sora, Neku." Roselyynn said sweetly before she guided them through the door after Chow-Chow."
Sora, Neku, Roselyynn and Chow-Chow, who quickly vanished after arriving in the place, entered a room with supports stacked up, most vertical, some horizontal and some diagonal, creating an X-shape. In front of them was a ladder leading up to a platform with three gargoyles.
Sora sighed in awe as he looked around. Neku completely ignored the surroundings since he wanted to get done with this place. And Roselyynn teleported next to Sora. "Isn't this Bell Tower beautiful?" Roselyynn asked.
Sora nodded, ignoring Roselyynn at the moment. Roselyynn joined Sora in looking around.
They noticed Quasimodo showing Esmeralda some bells. "This is Big Marie." Quasimodo told the gypsy woman.
Esmeralda went under the bell before spinning while saying, "Hello-o-o!" The sound echoed. Then Esmeralda touched the clapper of the bell (I believe that is what it is called.) and Quasi walked over to her and told her, "She likes you."
Esmeralda smiled at this and giggled. Quasimodo smiled back. Sora only said in response, "Looks like Quasi's gonna be just fine."
Then Victor became active and said, "Indisputably." Sora instantly turned around. Roselyynn just looked over her shoulder, while Neku was startled and gave the Gargoyles a "WTF?" look.
Hugo replied with a, "He's tough." And finally, Laverne said, "We may be as hard as stone, but Quasi's stronger."
"I know." Sora stated.
Then he realized they just spoke and he shouted, "WHOA! Talking gargoyles?"
Laverne retaliated with, "Excuse us for havin' personality!"
Sora looked around again and noticed Esmeralda walk near the entrance.
"You could stay here forever." Quasimodo suggested. Esmeralda crossed her arms with a serous expression on her face and looked down. "No, I couldn't."
Quasimodo jumped down to the platform where Esmeralda was standing. "Oh, yes. You have sanctuary." Quasimodo tried to convince, even though it would not work.
Esmeralda looked up towards the door. "But not freedom. Gypsies don't do well inside stone walls." As she said this, she turned to her side and began walking away. Quasi looked confused and his left hand went in a "wait, come back" movement. Then he looked at the ground sadly. Quasi momentarily balled his hands into fists for a bit before moving his right and saying, "You helped me. Now, I will help you."
Then Quasimodo walked back over to Esmeralda. Quasimodo and Esmeralda faced each other. "But there's no way out. There's soldiers at every door." Esmeralda indicated.
Quasimodo briefly glanced outside and looked back at Esmeralda before saying, "We won't use a door." Quasimodo walked next to Esmeralda before holding his arms out. "It's all right. Are you ready?"
Esmeralda gasped before Quasimodo picked her up and smiled at her, and she smiled back.
That was when Quasimodo ran outside, still holding Esmeralda while jumping and swinging out of the Cathedral.
Sora was astonished and Neku blinked while thinking, "Well, that was really, really strange." Roselyynn was absolutely silent.
Then Sora said, "Didn't expect that." Before facing Victor, Hugo and Laverne.
"So how come you and Quasimodo are so close?" Sora asked.
"I'd really like to know." Neku said quietly with sarcasm. Roselyynn was gazing outside, trying to look around for somebody.
"We've been friends for years." Laverne indicated.
"More than a decade of camaraderie." Victor added.
"Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner." Hugo finished.
"He never leaves?" Sora asked.
Neku turned around and stared at the Gargoyles like they were insane. Roselyynn also looked over in surprise, but still didn't say a word.
"Oh, he's not allowed to leave. Judge Frollo forbids it." Laverne told Sora.
"Well, Penelope was right in a way for some reason. The guy must be a nutcase." Neku commented.
Sora frowned. "Neku, we are talking. Please don't interrupt."
"So you have never heard of commentary Sora? Man, you're blank. I'm not really interrupting the conversation, okay?"
Sora sighed before turning back to Victor, Hugo and Laverne.
"Why?" Sora asked Laverne, continuing their interrupted conversation.
"Care to pull up a stool?" Victor asked.
"The short version is, Frollo thinks he's doing Quasi a favor by keeping folks from seeing that mug of his." Hugo told Sora with an angry look (which wasn't directed at Sora).
"After a lifetime from watching from the nosebleed seats, Quasi just wanted to go to the Feast of Fools. And we're so proud of him for finally working up the courage to do it."
"Tis a shame those creatures dashed his hopes." Victor stated sadly.
Hugo turned to Victor. "You should talk. When's the last time you looked in a mirror?" Victor turned to Hugo.
"Well you broke it!" Victor argued.
"Oh, a wise guy, eh?"
Laverne was getting angry with the two.
"Knock it off! Ya couple of blockheads!" Laverne shouted while jumping upwards and knocking Victor and Hugo over.
"I just hope this failure doesn't cause Quasi to give up. He was so close."
Sora looked sad as Laverne said this. "He can't let his heart be a prison." Sora stated.
Neku agreed and Roselyynn frowned.
Then Sora, followed by Neku and Roselyynn, went to the door and he shouted, "Don't worry! I'll go talk to him!"
Then they left to go find Quasimodo.
A/N: Before I get angry reviews about me adding an Author's note in the middle of the story, there's a reason. This will hopefully be the last time pretty much all the lines are exact. This is my own version of Dream Drop Distance and I'm pretty much just making it into a novelization when I make the lines exact. There will be some exact lines from now on, but it won't be mainly Sora and Riku speaking. It is so the other characters in the group get dialogue too.
(On the top floor of the Cathedral in the Square area.)
When Sora, Neku and Roselyynn exited, they found Penelope gazing a the square on the balcony.
"Penelope!" Penelope saw them. "Why, hello. Did you miss me?"
Sora flew at her. "Where were you? We all got so worried! Don't scare us like that again!"
"It's fine Sora! Calm down."
Roselyynn joined in the hug. "Wow Penelope! You look so cute as a Bunny."
"Oh, Roselyynn! How has Notre Dame been so far."
"Bad. Frollo is up to something."
"I'm aware of that. Let me just warn you about something, but, you are going to have to deal with another Dream Eater boss."
"Like the Hockomonkey we faced in Traverse Town?"
Penelope nodded.
"Shit. Not another one."
Sora gasped. "Neku!"
"Hey. Penelope isn't the only one allowed to swear around here, is she?"
Penelope smiled. "C'mon Neku. Join in the group hug."
Neku frowned. "Oh hell no. There is no flipping way I am joining in a group hug."
"Pretty please, Neku?" Penelope asked with puppy dog eyes.
Neku turned away.
"Oh, Penelope. How's Riku doing?"
"Good. He's still asleep. Remember, I can't exist in both versions at the same time unlike the natives here. Roselyynn is also more limited to where she can stay."
"Why?" Sora asked.
"I'm breaking the fourth wall here, but, in Riku's side, fire is involved in his battle. Roselyynn's weakness is fire."
"He still used fire here though, right?"
"Yes, but we will be fighting in front of the Cathedral."
Sora and Roselyynn nodded.
"Will you be joining our team again?"
Penelope grinned and nodded.
"Group cheer anyone?" Penelope stared at Neku.
"Fine. I'll join in, okay? Just don't ask again."
Everyone held their hands out and cheered.
"Right. Let's go find Quasimodo. I know a shortcut so we don't have to walk such a distance to get to the Square."
"How?" Sora asked in curiosity.
"At the bottom, we'll be dealing with Dream Eaters, but lets just avoid the battle!"
"Bottom…?"
Penelope stood on the railing of the balcony before jumping off. "Penelope?! Are you crazy?" Neku asked.
"It's fine! Sora does this all the time!" Penelope shouted from below.
"Who will go next?" Roselyynn asked.
"Ladies first." Neku answered.
Roselyynn jumped off of the balcony next, landing with grace. (This is Kingdom Hearts. Also, do not try this at home.)
Sora jumped off next, leaving Neku.
"What's wrong, Neku? Have a fear of heights?" Penelope asked.
"There's no way I'm jumping off a balcony."
"Are you just going to float down then?"
Neku stood on the balcony and gulped. "I must be going insane from being with these guys, but here goes nothing."
Neku jumped off the balcony and landed on the ground, without breaking any bones.
"I'm never doing that again." Neku stated.
Then Dream Eaters appeared.
Penelope noticed the area where they entered from.
Penelope guided them closer to the place where they entered the Square from at the beginning. As they ran by, they passed Phoebus. "Oh. Hello again. Sora, was it? And your friends too."
Sora stopped as well as the others. Just as Sora began to say something, Penelope frowned. "Great. Its that knight in golden armor that was with the corrupt judge earlier."
Sora viciously glared at Phoebus, Roselyynn crossed her arms, Neku was staring at the guy with a bored look and Penelope was still frowning.
"Easy. I do not want to start a fight, especially considering there are four of you."
Sora got out of his fighting stance as Phoebus walked over.
"Finally someone sensible…I'm…"
"Captain Phoebus, the guy who isn't in golden armor now." Penelope interrupted, cutting him off.
Phoebus stared at Penelope with a surprised expression before looking back at Sora.
"Tell me, is she still safe in the cathedral?"
"Is "she" is Esmeralda, then…"
Neku cut Sora off this time. "She left with Quasimodo."
Sora stared at Neku. "What? I was trying to get a word in for once. You talk all the time."
Roselyynn saw Quasimodo in the distance.
"Blast." Phoebus said in disappointment.
"What's wrong, Phoebus? Is that a bad thing?" Roselyynn asked.
"Am I allowed to talk?"
"Once again, you talk all the time." Neku indicated.
"Its…"
"It's the corrupt Judge Frollo, isn't it? Seriously, I can easily tell what you are about to say." Penelope interrupted again.
"Young lady, can I get to speak please?"
"I don't know, can you?"
Phoebus sighed, knowing he wasn't going to win this argument.
"Continuing on, Judge Frollo is obsessed with destroying the Gypsies..."
"Because he is insane and thinks its justice despite that is just prejudice against gypsies even living in this city, therefore, he deserves to get burned with fire, which he will eventually. In fact, I think at one point in the Hunchback of Notre Dame, there is some point with Frollo singing and there is fire."
Phoebus, Sora, Neku and Roselyynn stared at Penelope dumbfounded.
"How do you even know these kinds of things, young lady?"
"I know these things because I can and I do. Besides, its my job to break the fourth wall, is it not?"
"Fourth…wall?"
"It happens all the time in these kinds of things, Captain Phoebus. It can't be explained."
Phoebus continued from where he left off. "Where was I? Oh right…Judge Frollo is obsessed with destroying the gypsies and his mind is in a dark place. When I objected to his barbarous actions, he banished me from the guard."
"What? That's not fair."
"Life isn't fair, Sora." Neku stated.
Phoebus frowned before looking at Sora. "Don't worry about me. Frollo said he's found the "Court of Miracles"- the gypsies' haven within the city. Esmeralda and her friends are in danger."
Quasimodo, who was nearby, gasped and looked behind the tent he was hiding behind and he was holding a pendant.
Phoebus continued. "We have to find them and warn them before Frollo gets there."
Then Quasimodo dropped the pendant, and everyone heard the sound and they ran over to where Quasimodo was, and he walked out from his hiding sot.
When Sora began saying, "Quasimodo, Esmeralda's in trouble!" He was cut off.
"Idiot. He's been here the whole time. He heard our conversation, so don't remind him what he already heard." Penelope snapped.
Phoebus sighed before asking, "Where is she?"
"I don't know. She…she vanished into the streets." Sora had this serious look on his face, and Penelope poked him, even though he ignored her.
"She…gave me this pendant." Penelope saw the Pendant on the ground and Quasimodo picked it up.
Sora got out of his serious face when Quasimodo said, "Esmeralda said this would help us find her."
With a questioned look on his face, he recited the words, "When you wear this woven band, you hold the city in your hand."
Just before Quasi could say it, Penelope said, "It's a map."
Quasimodo realized she was right. He pointed out the areas. "There's the cathedral and the river. Go this way, cross the bridge and…" Quasi rose up the pendant. "The Court of Miracles!"
Penelope got no credit whatsoever when Phoebus ran over and said, "Well done Quasimodo!" and Sora said, "Yeah, Quasi, nice!"
Penelope was in disbelief, Neku had this, "You have to be kidding me" look on his face and Roselyynn was thinking, "What the hell?"
Then Quasimodo said, "Yes, I'm going to save her."
"And we will have no part in this."
Sora frowned. "Hey! Why not?"
"I pointed out it was a map!"
"But Quasi pointed out the coordinates." Sora stated.
Penelope shook her head before saying, "Seriously! Its like you really think I have no speaking role!"
"I never said that!" Sora shouted in defense.
"Oh f*** you Sora. I'm beginning to wonder why I even came back in the first place."
Sora, Quasimodo and Phoebus stared at Penelope in shock while Roselyynn patted her on the back and said, "She said what she had to be said."
"Sora, if I'm not respected in my Human form, I'll stay a Dream Eater for the rest of the time I'm here with you in this world." With that said, Penelope changed into her Majik Lapin Dream Eater form, and was glaring at Sora.
Just as Sora tried to pet Penelope to get her to calm down, she bit him. "OW!"
"Heal!" Roselyynn shouted as she cast a Curaga spell on Sora and she picked Penelope up.
"Rule number one, don't touch me. You pulled my tail in Traverse Town, Sora, so that's Payback."
"Let's go find the Court of Miracles, before its too late."
"Right!"
That was when they went to the next part of the city.
Upon entering the next part, they had to fight when Dream Eaters appeared.
Roselyynn was mad by what kind of Dream Eater they were.
"So you Nightmare Wheeflowers think you're oh-so beautiful, eh? I'll show you who's beautiful!"
Roselyynn set Penelope on the ground before changing into a Pink Wheeflower.
"Yeah? See me you weeds? Look at my beautiful colors. At just so you know, I'm gonna kick your flowery asses to hell."
"Hey Rose? We have to take three of em' out."
"Son of a…"
"Did both of them just turn into Dream Eaters?" Sora asked.
"That's probably why they wear such strange clothes."
"For your information, Sakuraba, we didn't CHOOSE to wear these. It happened when we got our Dream Eater forms. Now lets go find and burn those flowers."
"Right"
(20 minutes later)
"That was absolute hell." Neku stated.
Roselyynn and Penelope nodded.
"We can get through there now. Lets go."
(Outside of the city)
Sora, Neku, Roselyynn and Penelope walked out of the city, to see a bridge, barrels, boxes and tents.
"I think to get through faster, Flowmotion would be the way." Sora indicated.
Neku nodded and the two activated Flowmotion, completely leaving Roselyynn and Penelope behind.
They teleported to Sora and Neku when they reached another area. They ran through, completely ignoring the Dream Eaters appearing around them until they reached another place. That was when they found themselves at a Graveyard.
"We're getting closer to the Court of Miracles." Penelope indicated.
"Good. We have to find Esmeralda, before its too late." Sora replied.
Then they went through the graveyard, ignoring the Dream Eater and then they found a stairwell leading into a tunnel and they saw a gravestone with a cross.
"This must be the pathway to the Court of Miracles. Let's go in." Penelope told the group.
"Okay. Let's go in."
They went down the stairwell into the tunnel, finding themselves in shallow water.
When they walked into a specific passage, they found purple water. Penelope saw a pot with some sort of violet mist coming out of it.
"That's a formula going in the water to make Sora drop faster."
"Drop?"
"Its when you go to sleep and Riku wakes up. Its complicated. I'll destroy the pot and you wait here."
Penelope jumped up and jumped across to reach the pot, which she destroyed with Leviathan, allowing Sora, Neku and Roselyynn to pass. Penelope joined them and they continued on through the tunnels.
Finding that it was a wrong way, they headed through another tunnel and Roselyynn and Penelope were onto something. Then they heard, "Information: Your spirits are onto something."
"What the heck?! We know that."
"The walls are breakable"
"Oh, okay."
With that knowledge, the went through the tunnel and up another stairwell into an old Graveyard. They headed through that graveyard down yet ANOTHER stairwell and they went into a tunnel known as the catacombs.
"HOW MANY STAIRWELLS ARE IN THIS PLACE?!" Neku shouted in anger.
"I don't know."
"Well, let's keep going."
After going through the tunnels, breaking another pot of a Drop meter decreasing formula and destroying more breakable walls, they found a tunnel.
"The Court of Miracles is through here. Let's go."
Then Sora, Neku, Penelope and Roselyynn went through the tunnel.
(Court of Miracles)
Sora, Neku, Roselyynn and Penelope entered the Court of Miracles.
"Esmeralda's here. But we have to hurry and warn her."
"Right."
When the walked through, Penelope saw Esmeralda and they walked over and talked to her.
Then Quasimodo and Phoebus ran in.
"Why did you follow us?!" Penelope shouted in anger. Nobody listened to her like most of the time.
"Quasimodo? What are you doing here?" Esmeralda asked.
"Phoebus and I came to warn you. Frollo's on his way!"
"Wait. Wait, wait, wait. Only you and Phoebus came to warn her? Then why did we come here? Huh? HUH?" Penelope asked.
Phoebus sighed. "They also came to warn you too. And too add on to what Quasimodo said, take what you can and flee!"
"Well done, Captain Phoebus." Dream Eaters appeared.
"Son of a…" Penelope hissed.
"And you said I speak too much." Sora told Neku.
"Thankfully, you are every bit as predictable as I had hoped."
Penelope walked up to Judge Frollo.
"You followed us too, huh? F***. Why. WHY THE HELL MUST THIS ALWAYS HAPPEN TO ME, DAMMIT?!"
Frollo pushed Penelope aside and continued walking towards them. Phoebus growled at Frollo as he walked dup to Quasimodo.
"Dear Quasimodo. I knew you would someday be of use to me." As he said this, he walked over to Esmeralda as Quasi looked panicked.
That was when Frollo said, "I have you at last, you witch."
"Says the corrupt Judge! She's a person too." Neku shouted.
"Quiet, child. I'm talking."
Neku almost used a psych on Frollo, but decided to save his energy when he needed it.
Then Frollo went behind Esmeralda and pinned her arm behind her back and as he struggled, he said with an evil grin, "There will be a bonfire in the square."
As Frollo took her away, Quasi cried, "No, Please, Master!" as he ran up to him. Frollo only looked at Quasimodo and went, "Humph."
Sora screamed with justice, "Frollo, I won't let you do this!" as he charged with his Keyblade.
"SORA, YOU IDIOT, DON'T! ITS…"
As Sora charged, darkness went around Frollo and a large shadow appeared on the ground. Penelope stared in horror at the beast as it made Sora go unconscious.
(30 minutes later or something)
Sora woke up with Penelope, Neku and Roselyynn looking at him.
He jumped up and yelled, "No!"
"Quasimodo! Esmeralda! Phoebus!"
Neku walked up to Sora. "Sora, he's taking her away to that bonfire he mentioned at the Square. We need to stop him before its too late."
"There'll be a Boss Fight with the Wargoyle that K.O. Sora. Are you ready?" Penelope asked.
Sora, Neku and Roselyynn nodded and they ran off to the Square.
(Square)
In the Square, Frollo was staring at a K.O. Esmeralda who was tied to a pole as fire was at the base of the horrible bonfire.
"Esmeralda!" Sora screamed.
Quasimodo watched in panic from the top of the Cathedral and jumped off, swinging on a rope while scaling the Cathedral and he ran across a side while still holding the rope and in determination, he swung around, jumped onto the platform, retrieved Esmeralda, got hold of the rope again and climbed back to the top of the Cathedral.
Then , while holding Esmeralda up into the air, he shouted, "Sanctuary!"
During this process, Sora was going to cheer, "Way to go Quasi!" in happened before Neku covered his mouth.
"Sora, this isn't the time."
Man, Frollo was P.O. by this. As Frollo stormed over and Sora went after him, the Wargoyle landed and destroyed the bonfire platform and Sora, Neku, Roselyynn and Penelope got into their battle stances.
"Ready? GO!"
Neku fired Lightning at the Wargoyle as Penelope and Sora charged at it, making an extreme combo with their Keyblades.
They continued the process until it was down to half health. Then Roselyynn joined in the fun when she began stabbing it with thorns and jumped up and dived, creating a wave of fire.
Finally, Sora, Neku, Roselyynn and Penelope finished it with a combo attack and destroyed that pain in the ass Wargoyle!
"Hurry! We have to stop Frollo!"
As that was being said, Quasimodo stood on the rails of the balcony, Esmeralda was trying to get up and an insane, twisted, Judge Frollo had his sword drawn.
"I should've known you'd risk your life to save that gypsy witch-just as your own mother died in her pitiful attempt to save you."
Quasimodo was shocked. "What?"
"Now, I'm going to do what I should've done twenty years ago!" He slashed at Quasimodo, who fell back and Frollo fell off too. However, Quasi managed to hang onto a ledge while Frollo landed on a Gargoyle.
"Hold on! Hold on…" Esmeralda, who had got up, shouted as she trued to pull Quasimodo back up. However, she struggled.
With an evil laugh, Frollo began to stand up. "And He shall smite the wicked and plunge them into the fiery pit, forever!" Frollo raised his sword, but then the Gargoyle base began to crack and he fell and hung onto it, but then the stone carving became active and prepared to shoot fir at Frollo and then, the Gargoyle's base broke and with a scream, Judge Frollo fell to his fiery death waiting him below and the flames consumed his body before he was no more.
Esmeralda was unable to hold onto Quasimodo much longer and her grip began to slip, as she screamed, "Quasimodo! Quasi, no!"
And just as her grip fully slipped and he began to fall, Phoebus caught his arm. Quasimodo regained consciousness and looked at Phoebus. Phoebus then pulled Quasi back up and Quasimodo looked at his savior before hugging him. Phoebus pat him on the back.
With Quasi in the center, Phoebus and Esmeralda looked at each other and Quasi looked at both of them before bringing their hands together.
(Inside the Cathedral)
When Esmeralda and Phoebus exited the Cathedral, they held hands and looked at each other. Quasimodo watched as they left with smile on his face, and then Sora, Neku, Penelope (Roselyynn had said her goodbyes for now and had to leave), Victor, Hugo and Laverne came up behind Quasimodo.
Then Sora began to say, "Quasimodo, you can't let your heart be a…"
"I know." Quasimodo turned to face them. "I can't blame Frollo for putting walls around me. It wasn't the walls that were holding me back."
They nodded in agreement.
"But my heart is free know. I'm ready to really see what's out there."
Penelope smiled. "So know, he knows."
(A bit later)
Sora, Neku and Penelope stood in from of the platform where a statue was.
"All that time, Quasimodo let himself be trapped inside the nightmares Frollo gave him."
As Sora turned away after gazing at the statue a bit he heard, "Hypocrite. You are the one who has made your heart a prison."
Neku and Penelope turned around.
"Great. Its you. Again." Penelope hissed.
Sora gasped ad the young man approached them.
Then Sora yelled as he ran towards him, "What are you talking about?"
Sora saw him and a boy who looked like him, but in a suit like Riku wore to channel darkness, some metal around his chin, pale skin, yellow eyes and jet black hair.
Simultaneously, they said, "Even if you are not the prisoner."
Then the man left in a Corridor of Darkness.
Penelope and Neku ran over as Sora stared at the ground and then they saw a Keyhole.
Sora summoned his Keyblade before sealing it and when he, Neku and Penelope left, Sora wondered, "My heart's…a prison?"
Then they left La Cite des Cloches and Sora dropped.
A/N: I am going to have the first bit of Riku's part before ending the La Cite Des Cloches world in this story.
(Riku's side)
(Note: Roselyynn will only be on Sora's side of the story)
Riku was annoyed as he entered La Cite Des Cloches with Joshua and Penelope, who had just appeared.
"What wrong, Riku?" Joshua asked.
"I hated…that stupid Queen Buzzerfly I had to fight before arriving!"
Then they heard a "Stop her!" and Penelope recognized Esmeralda running away, with Phoebus after her. Then Esmeralda stopped at a tent before vanishing.
"My, my. It seems we've ran into a commotion of some sort? Hmm?"
Penelope glared at Joshua. "Oh shut up you Angelic Brat." Penelope hissed. In response, Joshua giggled.
Phoebus stopped and Esmeralda ran by as they were walking in.
"You there! Have you seen a gypsy woman?" Phoebus asked.
"Nope. Sorry." Riku answered.
"Good job, Riku!" Penelope whispered.
"All right. Thanks." As this was being said, Esmeralda was listening while up against a wall.
Then Phoebus walked back to Frollo.
"I'm terribly sorry, sir. We've lost her."
Frollo hissed in anger.
"Slippery vermin!" Frollo turned to Phoebus.
"I am beginning to question having summoned you back from the wars, Captain Phoebus." Then Frollo walked off and Phoebus shook his head, walking after him.
As Riku began to walk off with Penelope and Joshua, Esmeralda came up behind them.
"Thank you. You stood up for me."
Riku turned around. "I'm Esmeralda."
"Riku, and this is Penelope and Joshua. And it's not like I know what a "Gypsy" is."
Esmeralda looked surprised. "Why are they chasing you?"
"Judge Frollo has been hunting us for years. We gypsies are guilty of nothing but loving our freedom, yet Frollo hates whatever he can't control."
"Like you." Penelope whispered.
"Pardon?" Joshua asked.
Esmeralda continued as Riku crossed his arms. "Now he's even brought fresh blood to torment us. I'd hate to know what darkness drives that man."
Riku looked down. "I think I can imagine…"
Riku looked up at Esmeralda again. "Tell me more. Was he always like this?"
"I don't give Frollo much thought. But if you've like, you could try Notre Dame. They say it's a place for answers."
Riku, Penelope and Joshua looked up at the Cathedral
A/N: I did it, I FINALLY FINISHED THIS CHAPTER!
I am so sort for the terribly long wait. I have to do better on updating this. I've been working for hours to finish this chapter and I finally did it. Next chapter will be the rest of Riku's part in La Cite Des Cloches.
I won't start the Tron: Legacy world until the chapter after that!
Please review if you'd like, and despite that I'm horrible with the updating, please don't flame me. I worked so hard to finish the chapter for you all!
Till then, I will see you all in the next chapter!
Ciao!
