Hello again readers. Enjoying the story? I thought you were. Otherwise you wouldn't be reading the third chapter. So, Edge believes that his friends back on his world are dead. Could it be true or not? Could the Organization be trying to get Edge feel like he can't save anyone? And Disney Castle was attacked by Maleficent and Pete. Will Edge come out as the winner in the fight between him and Maleficent? And what happened to the Mickey and Lea? Are they alright? Will Edge be able to use his Mega Stone? Lets see. Enjoy!
"Alright! Bring it!" I yelled at Maleficent while pointing my keyblade at her. I called out, "Fire!" and a fire ball shot out, but Maleficent didn't even looked fazed by the attack. Like it didn't even affect her. So I used a different tactic. "Extreme Speed!" And I quickly ran and jumped up at her and landed as many hits on her face as I could, but that didn't even looked like that worked either. What do I need to do?
"Heheh. Ah hahahahah!" I heard Pete laughing at me and my failed attemps to do damage to Maleficent. "What are you laughing about? Your just a coward! Afraid to stand up for yourself. You just let Maleficent push you around like your nothing." "Would you like to get on her bad side?" "Would you like to stop hidding so I can pound your face in with my fist?" I called back. I don't know where, but he is hidding. I would use my Aura Sight, but I need to conncentrate. And fighting Maleficent won't allow me to do that.
"Aw. The little blue pip squeak is getting mad." Well he is starting to annoy me. Then, Maleficent tried to chomp down on me, but I dodged out of the way and swung down right on her snout. She gave off some weird roar from the hit. I must of got her good this time. She tried to chomp down on me again, but I kept on dodging and swinging on her snout.
One last time, I jumped back, but I bumped into something, stoping me in my tracks. Then I got grabbed by big hands. Pete! "Hahaha! Got ya now. Your not going anywhere." He grabbed a hold of be with his left hand. It was big enough to keep memfrom moving all my body parts except for my head. From a different point of view, you would only see my head.
"Ugh. Release me! Let me go!" I demanded as I tried to stuggle free from his grip. "I don't think so pip squeak." "You wouldn't be calling me a pip if I evolve into Lucario!" "I don't care if you do turn into la-cario-" "Lucario!" I corrected him. I mean, its not that hard to say. Jeez, is he really this stupid? "WHATEVER! It doesn't matter. You couldn't defeat us with an army." "Don't underestamate me!" "Quiet! " He then tighten his grip on me, making me winded. "Hmm? Whats this pretty little gem? I think I'll just help myself." Oh no! Not my gem! How can I use my keyblade without it? I still haven't learned how to summon it without my gem. "No! Don't touch my gem." I could bearly say. He then took the gem and ripped it right off my neck. At that time, my keyblade disappeared and I couldn't resummon it. "Makeficent, I found you a pretty new neckless." Then Maleficent transformed back to her usual look.
"Well well well, seems that someone is powerless when he doesn't have his gem. How lovely. However, I have no use for such a gem. But, why don't we turn you into a Heartless." "Oh I agree Maleficent." Pete said, agreeing with Maleficent. He then threw me to the ground and I slid a few feet from the two. "Give me back that gem!" I said while getting back up into a fighting stance. "Quiet you little fool! Now then. Give your heart over to the darkness! Give up your will! Become a Heartless!" Maleficent's staff started to glow black. Then she swung it at me and some black orb started to fly at me, but my scarf made it disappeare when it got close. It didn't do anything, but it made the orb look like as if it hit a wall and then disappeared.
"What!? Impossible!" Pete said with disbelief. "Can't touch me with the darkness." I said without giving away the source of my protection. "What power do you hold little one?" Maleficent asked. "Wouldn't you like to know! Now give me back my gem!" "I think not. But you can have your decided fate." She was getting ready to fire off more green orb-like shots at me. "Now DIE!" She rapidly shot at me and did my best to dodge as many as I could until I could find away to get that gem back. "Hmph. Nimble, aren't you." I started breathing hard from all the dodging. Im just not sure how I can get out f this one this time. What am I to do?
Maleficent was still firing at me and she eventually nailed me. I became to slow. It was getting harder to move that I lost the will to even lift up my tail. "It ends now." Maleficent said. I gave up trying to get away and accepted my fate, closing my eyes shut waiting for what was to come. "EDGE! Don't give up!" I then looked up to see a keyblade go flying through the air and it caught Maleficent off guard. I suddenly found the will to move again and I jumped up at Maleficent and hit her with a Force Palm and doing a backflip to get some distance away from her. "Mickey! Your alright!" I seen Mickey appear right beside me. Then his keyblade went flying towards him and he caught it.
"Edge, where is your gem?" "Pete has it. He got me from behind and took it" I said while pointing to Pete. "When I say go, run at Pete. I will get him to drop it. Thats when you go and get it back." I nodded, telling him that I understood his plan. At that moment, he yelled "Go!" and I sprinted at Pete, but Mickey somehow got ahead of me. "LIGHT!" And some blinding light surounded Mickey and blinded Pete. It made it hard for me to see, but I could follow through with the plan. Then I used Extreme Speed and got the gem back. When Pete recovered, I could tell that he was thinking that something was off. He opened and closed the hand that the gem was in. "What? Where did it go?"
I tied the the neckless back on, al the while saying, "What do you think happened to it?" He turned around to look at me. When he noticed that I had the gem back, he had a angre look on his face. "Why you little..." He then started to run at me. "I don't think so." Then a fire ball went flying between me and Pete, stopping Pete in his tracks. "Lea, your okay too!" "Yep. Im still kicking"
I looked to see if I could find Mickey. He was having trouble dealing with Maleficent so I rushed to his aid while summoning my keyblade. Then I went to take a mighty swing at Maleficent, trying to take her out with one hit, but she created some kind of shield, right before I could land the finishing blow. The force made me go flying backwards a bit, but I managed to stick the landing. "Hmph. Your just a waste of my time." "Then go back to the underworld where you belong." I said, trying to make her seem like a joke. Mickey was then able to hit her from behind, from me distracting her. "Ugh. I will deal with you all another time." "Finally learned that you lost this fight?" Mickey said "Not even close. Your just delaying your doom."
Im getting tired of her, thinking that she's some God, when she isn't. Then Mickey called out, "Minnie! Open the lock, now!" Then out of nowhere, a lock shaped portal opened up and sucked Maleficent and Pete in it. "Edge, follow my lead! Mickey said to me, as he pointed his keyblade at the lock and I did the same. Then some beam came out of the keyblade as well as Mickey's. Next thing I knew, the lock vanished. "Um, what just happened?" "Well, I guess you can say we, "locked" those two out of this world, for now. They will be back, but not for a while now."
"So what Im hearing is that we beat them?" I asked Mickey. "Yep." I felt glad that those two where gone. Maleficent is tough, but Pete is just annoying. After that, I couldn't help but remember something that I knew I wouldn't be able to do. Like what I always got to do with my friends back on my world. That left me feeling sad all over again. "Huh? Edge, are you alright? Look like your about ready to cry again." Lea pulled me out of my train of thought and I shook my head. "No Im fine. Can we go back to Yen Sid's tower? I kinda want to just sit down and think a little. After all, ever since I got here, its nothing but fighting, fighting, and more fighting." "I understand. Yen Sid!" Then another portal of light appeared right next to us. "Minnie, stay safe." Minnie suddenly came into view. "You too Mickey. Keep Edge safe. He might be the only one to free Sora and Riku." Mickey gave a nod to Minnie as Lea, him, and I stepped into the light and got teleportated back to Yen Sid's tower, again.
I left to go to my room as soon as we got back and closed the door, then flopped right on the bed in deep thought. "Happy Birthday to me huh? Guess this is what the universe wants to give me." I thought that something was peaking through the door, but ignored it when I seen that nothing was there. I soon then went to sleep. That fight with Maleficent and Pete really did do a number on me.
I ended up having another dream. I was in a forest, alone. "Hello?" No one responded. I started walking on the only path I seen. As I made my way, I started to hear talking and laughter. I soon found my friends from my world, sitting on the ground. Talking, laughing, having a good time. As I got closer, Lucario was the first to notice me. He waved for me to come over and I did so. When I sat down next to him, all at once, they all said, "Happy Birthday!" Then Lucario said, "We got something for you." "What is it?" I asked. "Close your eyes." He responded. So I closed my eyes, awaiting the gift that the had planed for me. Then I heard a old voice say, "Open your eyes." When I did, I found Xehanort standing over me with a black keyblade in hand. I looked around for my friends and I found them laying on the ground, as still as a rock. "What...?" I was scared out of my mind. Then he told his keyblade and got ready to strike me down.
I woke up, again,covered in sweat and breathing hard. Thats the second time I had a nightmare about my friends. But I couldn't help it. I feel like I could of been there for them. If only I went with them on their trip, I could of somehow helped them.
Mickey came walking through the door with a concerned look on his face. "Ya alright Edge?" "Yeah, Im fine. Things just been...hard is all. I'll get over it." I said, letting Mickey know that Im fine. "Well then come on. We need to get to Hollow Bastion." "Again? Why?" "Just come on. Yen Sid has already left a portal to get there." Mickey then grabbed my paw and lead me out of the bedroom and to the portal. We ended up in front of a house. "This is Merlin's house. Though he's not home. But its alright, just go up and walk in."
I walked up to the door. I slowly opened the door to find that it was dark inside. As I walked further in, the lights quickly came on. "Surprise!" I definitly was surprised. I seen the friends I made. Lea, Cloud,(who was standing with his arms crossed), Leon, Yuffie, Yen Sid, and Mickey, who walked in the house from behind me. They had a party planned out, for me. There was a banner that said, "Happy Birthday Edge!" Mickey then was the first to say something. "When you walked into your room last night, I heard you say something about it being your Birthday. Then when you where asleep, you where saying something about your Birthday too. So I got our friends to throw you a party. As a way to say thanks for all that you have done." "But I haven't really done too much." I said, thinking I haven't done much yet. "You helped protect Hollow Bastion and Disney Castle. That enough of a reason to throw you a party."
"Okay then how about this. You guys haven't really known me for long. Only like, what, two, three days?" I said to Mickey. "I doesn't matter how long you met someone. Once your friends, your friends for life." I was speachless after that. I felt so happy. Happy that they see me as someone that they have know for a long time. "Th-thank you. All of you. Thank you." Yuffie then spoke up, "Hey we also made you a cake." The only other time I had cake was when my friends went to a different region and came back with a peice of cake, for me.
Yuffie went to get the cake. When she came back out , the cake wasn't really big, but it was fine. It had blue frosting and the cake itself was black. There was also a little figurine on it that looked like with with a keyblade. I just laughed at how it looked like a tiny version of me. Mickey then got me closer to it and I found a candle on it. "Blow out the candle Edge." Mickey said. I closed my eyes and made a wish right before I blew the candle out.
"What wish did you make?" Leon said. I made a wish that I would evolve soon so I can Mega Evlove and become stronger and so that I can see my friends from my world again. Course, I didn't tell them that. "Can't tell you. Otherwise it won't come true." Everyone all at once sighed. I laughed at their responce. "Well, lets eat some cake" I said while clapping my paws together. I got the first peice of cake as birthday tradition.
"Sorry that we didn't get you anything. We didn't know what to get you." Leon said. "Hey its alright. This party is a gift enough." They all smiled at what I said.
After an hour of eating cake and talking, Mickey walked over to me. "Edge, you have gotten better with the keyblade and have gotten stronger. How about that spare that we have put off long enough?" I thought about it and and awnser with a nod.
Mickey and I made our way out side, along with the others. They stood over on the side to watch the fight. Mickey stood on one side of the street while I stood on the other. "Good luck Edge!" Yuffie said. I smiled and gave a thumbs up, then turned back to Mickey. "Don't dissapoint me Edge." Mickey said jokingly while summoning his keyblade. "I won't" I said while summoning my keyblade. Then, with a silent signal, we ran at each other at full spped.
He tried to sweep my legs with a low swing, but I blocked it and retaliated by swinging at him back but dodged out of the way. I jumped back to get some distance between me and Mickey so I could think of what to do next. He made me think quickly as to what to do next because he started shooting shards of ice at me after he called out "Freeze!" and I blocked the shots easily. I hit one of ice shards so that it would go back at Mickey, catching him off guard. He managed to dodge, but he fell from being off balanced.
I heard the others from the sidelines cheering. "Nice one Edge!" I heard Lea call out. I felt proud that they think that Im handling myself against Mickey. But I don't want to get too cocky. After all, Mickey is one of the strongest people here. He's just going easy on me, I can tell. I was about to run at him while he was getting back up, but was stopped and blinded by some sort of bright light. I thought that it was Mickey at first but when the light died down, I seen a figure appear from the light, but I couldn't tell right at the moment. After my eyes readjusted, I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw who it was.
"Edge? Is that you?" "Lucario?" The Lucario nodded his head, confirming what I was thinking. Oh my Arceus! He's alright! "Lucario! I can't believe it! I thought that..." "Well, Im here and okay...where ever here is. Also, I gave some thought into nicknames and now I have given myself a name." "Thats nice. Now I can stop calling you Lucario. What name do you give yourself?" I asked curiously. He was the one that never gave too much thought of nicknames, which is why I was surprised by his chooice of having a name. "You can now call me Hunter." Lucario, now Hunter, said.
"So, how did I get here?" Mickey stepped up and said, "I think I can awnser that. You where in trouble from the darkness, so you where brought here, to be saved." So, the faiding part from that window of darkness was when Hunter got teleportated here? Not sure, but thats what Im going with. I then remembered about the others and was afraid of the worse. "Wait, what happened to the others? Are they alright?" Hunter turned directly at me, got down on one knee to get eye leveled with me, then shook his head. My heart felt like it got ripped right out of me. Hunter then began to speak, "Im sorry. I tried to protect them. There where too many of those creatures. They...they over powered us. I couldn't do anything for them. Im sorry."
The saddness from before returned and my eyes started to fill up with tears. This time it was worse cause now I know for sure what happened to the others. Hunter then took me and pulled me into a hug, trying his best to comfort me. I started to relax a bit. He always had his ways with making others feel better. He then pulled out of the hug and said, "I see that you have a different look Edge. Mind of I ask why?" "Well, my gem here lets me summon whats called, a keyblade." I said while resummoning my keyblade. I hadn't notice they keyblade disappearing when Hunter showed up. "Whoa!" Hunter responded. "And my scarf protects me from the darkness." "Well you look really cool and heroic with those things on." "Thats what I said." Hunter and I laughed a little at that.
"Whoa! Is that what I think it is!?" Hunter asked while pointing to the Mega Stone. "Yep. I found Lucarionite. Yuffie here made it into a pin and pinned it on my scarf, so when I evolve into a Lucario, I can Mega Evlove and help out my new friends here." I said while looking at the others. "Well, your just lucky aren't ya? So, have you been working on your fighting skills?" "Well...I..." "He's been doing great! He's gotten really strong." Mickey said. "Oh really? Im glad to hear it." Hunter said while giving me a pat on the back. "Mind if I test that?" Hunter said with a grin. I have never won in a fight with Hunter. No one has, so I wasn't sure if I wanted to go through with this. "Come Edge! You can do it! Just think of all the other stuff you have done!"
Yuffie called out. I have taken out a member of Organization XIII and fought Maleficent who turned into a dragon and did good. Aw, why not. "I accept the challenge. Just don't exspect me to hold back." I said while giving a confident grin. "I wouldn't have it any other way." Hunter said while crossing his arms and giving his own confident grin. We took out spots on opposite sides of the street. Hunter took his fighting stance and I got my keyblade ready. Hunter made the first move by firing an Aura Sphere at me and I knocked it back at him with my keyblade but he easily dodged it with a side step.
This caught him off guard. He then used Bone Rush and came straight at me. He really fast, so I use Extreme Speed to dodge his swings. I found and opening and I disarmed him by knock his staff in the air. The I landed a Force Palm on him, sending him back a few feet. "Not bad."He said. "But can you handle this?" He put his two wrist spikes together and used Metal Sound. I always hated that move when its used against me. The sound was so painful, I had to covered my ears. The move always left me a little dazed to sometimes. Hunter then came at me with Bone Rush again and I managed to block it and we where locked in a battle of streight, pushing against each other, trying to over come the other. Course this was gonna fail on my part, so I had to think of a way to get out of this.
So, I used Extreme Speed again, pushed back enough to make him go back enough for me to do a front flip over him and land behind him. I then brought my keyblade up to his face without hitting him. "I win!" I said with a surprised look on my face. "Wow, you have gotten better. Im proud of you and Im sure the others would be too." After that, we shook paws and headed over to the group. I introduced him to eveyone and told him about everything that has happened, along with all the other information about Organization XIII and the Heartless. After all the important stuff, we spent the rest of the day catching up on each other. Hunter went to so many different reigions. He said he seen other rare Pokemon and that made me wish I went with him.
It was then time for us to go back to Yen Sid's tower to call it a night. "Come on. You'll be sleeping iwith me in my room." When we walked into our bedroom, there was another bed in there. "I had Yen Sid get another bed for your friend here." Mickey said. "Thank you Mickey. Im glad you did this for me." Hunter said, thanking for the bed. "Think nothng of it. We are friends now. Friends help each other. You guys get some sleep. Never know when we might be needed in one of the other worlds.
Mickey then left the room while closing the door and we got in our seprate beds. "I hope that I evolve soon. I really want to try mega evolving." "Don't worry Edge. You will. Just keep working hard and you evolve. I can't wait to see you evolve and mega evolve." "Yeah I guess your right." We then fell fast asleep.
-To be continued-
Well, one of Edge's friends made it. Lets see what becomes of this. R&R. Until next time.
