Finally I got this chapter done. This one was hard to write but now I think I have it done.
Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts, Bolt or Thunder
Riku, Thunder and Shadow charged straight through the Heartless to the girl, her dog and what they guessed was her mother and brought before them their individual weapons. Riku not even taking his eyes off of the Heartless spoke to the ones they were protecting. "Go and hide, we'll find you after we are done here," They looked at him and the two dogs in front of them and the girl reached down to grab her dog and then ran to a trailer to their right and closed the door behind them as the first strike was made by one of the Heartless.
Riku struck it down with a clean swing straight down its center and then swung again as another Heartless jumped and tried to attack Riku but Shadow used his shadow ability and grabbed the Heartless and flung it back to the group of Heartless and then breathed a cloud of black fire into the group and watched as a few of the Heartless were burned to a crisp. Riku and Thunder saw a Heartless try and make a break for the trailer but Thunder ran and caught it by its neck as it jumped to reach the trailer, and Thunder brought his paw down hard on the Heartless and then tore his head away from it and watched it vanish with a puff of black smoke.
Riku found himself fighting a Large Body that kept swinging its arms back and forth but after half a minute of waiting for an opening, Riku jumped high and swung his Keyblade straight down and channeled a little lightning down the blade and slashed straight through it with one swing.
Riku looked back and saw only one Heartless but instead of fighting like normal, it disappeared in a small portal of darkness. Riku saw that Thunder and Shadow didn't have a scratch on them and was glad, letting a smile slip onto his face. "Come on out you guys, its safe now."
They opened the door a little to see if any of the creatures were gone and only saw the boy and the two dogs that saved them. They opened the door and walked to them and saw that there were no remnants of the creatures anywhere. The girl was the first to speak after she put her dog down by her feet. "Thank you for saving us from those things."
Riku shook his head and chuckled a little. "No thanks is needed, I'm supposed to help people if those Heartless ever show up anywhere."
She looked at him asked, "Heartless? What are they?"
"They are the things that attacked you. They aren't to be taken lightly," Riku said crossing his arms and looking down at her dog. After a few seconds, the dog looked back up into Riku's eyes then Riku looked back into the girl's eyes. "I'm Riku, and they are Thunder and Shadow. Who are you?"
"My name's Penny and this is Bolt," Penny said motioning toward the dog by her feet. Then her mother spoke. "My name is Cindy. Thank you so much for saving us."
"Once again no thanks is needed," Riku said. "We did originally come here for the auditions but I think that the Heartless really messed it up."
Penny looked at her mom and held up one finger. "We'll be right back," She said then pulled her mom a few feet away from them while Bolt stayed and looked over Shadow and Thunder.
"You two are really different from anyone I have really ever met before, though you helped save my person so I'm a little in your debt," Bolt said still eyeing Shadow and Thunder.
Shadow spoke though he still had bloodlust in his voice. "No big deal Bolt, the Heartless are something that Riku and I have been fighting for a few months now, and it seems that no matter how many you defeat there are always more to take their place."
Bolt heard the blood lust in Shadow's voice but said nothing about it. He turned to Thunder but heard Penny's footsteps and looked to her and her mother. "Well my mother and I have talked, and we think that you guys got the part," She said sitting besides Bolt looking up into Riku's eyes and was petting Thunder who kinda shied away from her hand but didn't growl like Riku or Shadow thought he would. Penny then started petting Shadow and Riku had to suppress a chuckle before they heard someone approaching from behind and Riku turned his head a saw a guy in a suit and a cell phone in his hand approach the group.
"What the heck happened in here and where did all of the people here for the auditions go?" He asked gripping his phone tightly.
"Well they were scared off by some monsters, called the Heartless," Penny started but was cut off by the man.
"This is a disaster! What are we going to do?" He asked frantically.
Cindy spoke tapping him on his shoulder. "Well if it wasn't for this young man and his dogs we would have been in real trouble," She said pointing to Riku, Shadow and Thunder.
He turned and started to babble on about how they should be on the new and how it would affect the ratings of the show. Finally Riku stopped him with a hand on his shoulder. He turned and saw a boy with long silver hair wearing black pants and a grey V-neck tee shirt. He had two black wrist bands on his wrists and a chain on his pants. Next to his feet were two dogs that made him uncomfortable. "You must be the young man and dogs that saved their lives huh?"
Riku sighed and nodded. "Yeah we are. So who are you?"
"I'm Penny's manager I help her get spots on shows and help her with T.V. appearances. You must be the three who saved their lives."
"Yes we are but you still haven't told me your name."
"Well my name is Paul, and you are?"
"Well, my name is Riku. And they," Riku said pointing toward Shadow and Thunder. "They are Thunder and Shadow."
Paul looked at the dogs and felt a shiver go down his spine. Looking at Shadow put him on edge and Thunder felt dark. He then looked back to Riku and gulped feeling an ominous feeling around Riku. He pulled at the collar of his shirt and chuckled nervously. "Well, anyway, I guess that you three have the part."
Riku looked down at Shadow and Thunder giving them a thumbs up. They nodded and smiled slightly then turned to face Bolt who looked to Riku and then back up to Penny. Bolt then bit her sock and pulled lightly to get her attention, to which she looked down naturally and picked him up and held him close as he nuzzled her neck.
"He really is protective of you, isn't he Penny?" Riku asked seeing Bolt's reaction.
"You have no idea Riku," She said putting him back down next to Shadow and Thunder. "So where are you staying Riku?"
"We actually just got here, so we don't have a place to stay. Though I'm sure I could find an apartment or something," He said shrugging his shoulders.
"Well, we have a spare room at our house so you could stay with us." Cindy said placing her hands on Penny's shoulders.
Riku closed his eyes and looked to the ground. "Thank you for your hospitality Cindy, Penny," Riku said his voice deepening slightly a small unnoticed tear sliding down his cheek. He wiped he cheek with his arm and smiled. "I really appreciate it. But will Shadow and Thunder be coming with s or staying here with Bolt?"
"They'll be staying with you but Bolt has to stay here," Paul said quickly. Riku looked to him and glared at him.
"Why is that Paul?" Riku asked looking down at Bolt.
"I'll tell you later, but for now," He paused and then looked at Bolt before walking away as he started talking on his cell phone.
Penny sighed and Bolt nuzzled her cheek gently with a little yip to try and get her attention as his ear folded against the back of his head.
"I know boy, I know," Penny said petting Bolt's head gently as she hugged him close while Riku, Shadow and Thunder looked around the building seeing different props that looked beaten and dented from overuse.
"So what's next on the agenda?" Riku asked not trying to appear rude or anything.
I think this cliffhanger is needed and will get some attention. Please R&R.
