here to say that....CHAPTER FOUR IS HERE!!! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! ^.^ Anyway, in this chapter, i ATTEMPTED to describe clothes. but i thought better of it. So what i was thinking was posting on my profile, that every time that a chapter has the characters changing clothes, i'll put those clothes on my profile. Hopefully that will be less confusing .
Anyways, this chapter might also sound a bit confusing, I'm so sorry! It sounded fine in my head and while i was typing it. Now without further ado, will Riku and Sora please say the Discalimer?
Riku:Of course. Before I start, where's Sora? -look around-
Sora: Wait! Riku! Don't start without me! -comes in panting-
-Uh...Sora...what happened?
-Rubs back of head- Sora: Hehe...fangirls...
Riku: OOOKKKK??? Anyways, does not own Roxas, Sora, and I.
Sora: Nor does she own anything from Kingdom Hearts. All rights reserved to Disnery and Square Enix.
- Great job guys!
-In walks Roxas-
Roxas: So wasn't I invited?
-You're at the end Roxas...
-Sora and Riku snicker-
-Roxas glares at them-
-I saved the best for last!
Roxas: -points at Riku and Sora- HA!
- Anyways, on with the story... =]
Nobody moved, nobody even remotely blinked.
Did they hear right? A war about to repeat itself?
……..W…..T……F?!
"o.O" Both Riku and Sora couldn't fathom what Roxas had said, their temporary stunned brains were only thinking of one….scratch that….two things. First was the time when the "door" first opened two years ago, and how Ansem (His heartless, not the real guy!) wanted to open the door to Kingdom Hearts. And second, how last year Xemnas (MANSEX! XD) was trying to gain his very own heart through the help of Kingdom Hearts.
Only one thought was going through their minds, We destroyed them! Are they extracting revenge by war?! But for some reason, they didn't believe that. Finally, Riku was the first to come out of his stunned expression and questioned Roxas further.
"WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN WAR?!" Well, Riku wasn't going to beat around the bush now was he?
"……." Sora was still stunned, and decided to let Riku do all the questioning. Meanwhile, he was trying to remember all the knowledge he acquired throughout his journeys to see if he could piece together what's going on. But…not even the King mentioned anything of any past war…Did he even know?
"Like I said, I had a dream…" Then Roxas went on an hour and a half TRYING to explain his dream, but it would have gone a lot faster if Riku would stop INTURRUPTING HIM!
"Let me get this straight, a heart...just popped out of nowhere and decided to give you heart to find some girl?" Riku looked at Roxas for confirmation, and after said blonde nodded his head yes, Riku continued.
"Now this heart, whose name is supposedly Ryu, says this girl is your destined other, and that how we are all connected in this upcoming repeated war?" Again, another nod from the spiky haired blonde.
"That has to be the most ridicules thing I have ever heard." And in reality it was, a heart popping OUT OF NOWHERE? If it were that simple, then Organization XIII would still be alive and living emotionally. Although, it was somewhat hard picturing that, all members skipping in a field of flowers all holding hands and laughing? Yes, that was really hard to picture…Although that would be a great Christmas card! (^.-)
"Even if it's not true, Riku; then how do explain Roxas standing right there?" Sora had intervened and was pointing his thumb in the direction of said blonde. Riku just took a long look at Roxas, then at Sora, and finally sighed defeated.
"So what do we do now?" No one knew the answer to that question. Of course, their first thought was to see the King; however, they had no Gummi Ship to get there and the only one around left about a few hours ago taking Kairi with her to Hollow Bastion. So….now what?
-------------
Roxas' POV
So how the hell are they supposed to warn everyone when they can't do anything about it? Well this sucks…I can't even keep my promise to Ry—
HEY!
Roxas had abruptly jumped ten feet in the air, scaring the beejeebees out of Riku and Sora.
"Roxas, are you ok?" Both Riku and Sora were looking at Roxas like he was crazy. Hell…maybe I am…I think I spent too much time in the darkness.
KIDDO! LISTEN TO ME!
There it was again. But where the hell was it coming from?!
"Did you guys hear that?" Aiming his question at the two other teens that were giving him crazy looks.
"Maybe he went psycho?" Did Sora just stage whisper that to Riku? Hello! I'm standing right here!
"You do realizes that I'm right here…right ?" Honestly, I am not going crazy! There really was a voi—
JEEBUS! HEEEELLLLOOOOO! Then everything went black. The last thing you heard was Riku and Sora calling your name.
-------------
What….the….fuck…?
Roxas was back in the endless void of nothingness, and as he looked in every direction, even up and down, yup you guessed…just black emptiness. But why am I back here?!
"There you are! I've been calling you for the past ten minutes!" That voice, it sounded like the floating hea—Ryu. The voice was behind him, so as Roxas turned around, what he saw startled him to no end. At first, Roxas thought he was looking at a reflection of himself, but that would be impossible; seeing as how he was in a black void. No, this person looked like an older version of Roxas, except his hair was a darker shade of blonde and was longer than his own spiked hair.
This person was B-U-F-F—buff!— and was wearing almost the same outfit as Roxas, (the one from KHII) but was wearing a bit of armor? On his left shoulder that connected at his waist. Whoever this guy is, he looks...like...me?
"It's about time you got here kid." The older version of Roxas just stood there with his arms crossed across his chest. Roxas had no idea who this guy was. So why was he waiting for me?
"You don't have a clue to who I am, do you?" And he was right, and with good reason. Roxas only responded with a nod of his head.
"I'm Ryu."
On Earth
Things weren't going so great for Ericka, she got detention…again. And this time it wasn't her fault. Maybe a little.
GAHHHHHH! He bumped me! Ericka was walking to detention with her head low and muttering revenge plans for Jake, the school bully and Ericka's arch rival since third grade. But you're probably wondering what's going on right? Let's back up to that morning.
----------
Get up….Get up! GET UP! GET u—
….SMASH!...The only sound that came from the black and white checkered room in the two story house where a black-haired girl was currently residing in. I swear…if that stupid alarm tells me to get up one more time…I'll throw it against the effin wall! The only object that was cobalt blue in the room, the clock's time was blaring 5:30 in the morning. I don't feel like running this morning. Maybe if I go back to slee—
"I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me and I walk alone
I walk this empty street
On the Boulevard of Broken Dreams
Where the city sleeps
and I'm the only one and I walk alone"
Ericka's phone was playing the familiar ringtone that always played when one of her best friends called, Emily. She was contemplating whether or not to answer the damn thing, but the stupid phone wouldn't stop ringing. After a while it stopped. Finally I can go back to slee— But the ringtone had started to play again. This time though, Erick picked up the phone.
"Hello?" Ericka's voice was still groggy with sleep.
"Ericka, get up you lazy bum! I've been standing outside your house for the past ten minutes!" Usually the Asian was really caring and wouldn't really shout unless aggravated. But today she sounded pissed.
"Ok..ok..I'm up. Sheez. Be out in a few." And without waiting for a reply, shut the phone closed and started to get dressed. Once Ericka was done changing into her black sweats with a white tank, she walked to her closet to put on her, surprisingly, blue running shoes. As Ericka was walking towards her door, she could've sworn she saw the shadows in her room moving.
"What the hell." Ericka was walking to the corner of her room that she saw the shadows moving, and as soon as she lifted her arm to reach out, her phone started vibrating, indicating that she got a new text. Forgetting where she was, Ericka turned her neck so fast, she could've gotten whiplash.
And to think. I almost forgot my phone. Walking over to the dresser that had her phone on it, she reached it and flipped it open. The single text message brought a smile to her face and she started laughing.
New Text Message
HURRY UP!
From: Emmy ^.-
As Ericka was walking to the door once again with phone in hand, she didn't notice the shadows reaching out to her, as if to grab her. Nor did she notice the yellow eyes that were coming from the shadows.
-----
Emily's POV
"What the hell took you so long?!" Emily was pissed off. It was close to six o'clock in the effin morning, and her mom decided to wake up early and nag her ass off. My God!! I need a good run.
"Sheez. Don't get you're knickers in a twist." Ericka couldn't really see that the Asian was pissed off, or maybe she was ignoring it. Already used to how annoyed Emily got with her mother.
"Sorry. It's just m—"
"Mom?" Ericka you know me so well. This thought had brought a smile to Emily's face, and couldn't help but think that she knew Ericka just as well.
"Which is why I made chocolate cake for this afternoon." Ericka was beaming. She knew exactly just how much Emily loves chocolate, and cake, so a combination was just as good.
"Sweet!" Thoughts of her mother were already fading from her mind, just by thinking about Ericka's chocolate cake. Of course, Emily was a better cook, that didn't mean that Ericka didn't try.
"C'mon. We gotta start running." And with that said, both girls started running their routine of three miles around the city that they were in. They're city of Reseda.
-----
Ericka's POV
After their three mile run, both girl had gone home and got ready for school. By this time, it was already 7:33, and Ericka was already late for the bus. Shoot! By the time Ericka had ran outside her house and looked at the bus stop, the bus was already driving away. Damn it! Ericka had no choice but to run to the next one.
As Ericka was running down the street to the next bus stop, she had failed to notice a person was standing two feet behind her wearing nothing but armor that covered his entire form. From his head to his toes. This armor consisted of gold, blue, and black and his helmet looked like he had spikes for ears, kind of making him look like Batman. This soldier also appeared to have a red cape that was attached to his shoulders and was bellowing behind him in the morning air.
"So it has begun." The mysterious person had said. This person had extended his arm out and in a flash of light; a giant key had appeared in his right hand. But not just a regular key, this key seemed to have a swirl of colors consisting of red and black. The handle had to bat wings attached to it and were black, while the blade itself was blood red; as if he had used someone's blood to make it that way. Swirling up the blade were two ribbons connecting at the top of the blade. The top consisted of a dragons head and looked to be very sharp.
"This time…we won't lose."
--------
Roxas POV
"You're..you're Ryu?" Roxas couldn't believe his eyes. This person looked like he could be his father! But that's not possible! I was never meant to exist! A rush of emotions swept through the young teen, emotions that he still wasn't used to; only acquiring a heart just that morning.
"Well believe it Kid, it's me." Even his voice sounded like Roxas'. Only older, wiser, and more mature than his teen voice.
"But why?" Roxas couldn't understand what was going on. A few seconds ago, he was with Sora and Riku.
"I'm here to warn you." A stern look had overcome the older male's face, meaning to say that he was here on business.
"About?" Roxas couldn't trust his voice at the moment, so he relied on one word answers.
"I think it will be better if I explained to Sora and Riku as well." A blinding light was coming in the direction of Ryu, causing Roxas to bring his arm up to block some of the light from his eyes. But just as the light came, it was gone. When Roxas opened his eyes, he thought he was looking through another mirror, seeing his blue eyes. But when his vision cleared, he was looking at Sora, not his reflection. Damn. Why couldn't it have been a mirror? Roxas wasn't too pleased. He had to go back to that place AFTER he left, and return not five minutes later? Roxas wasn't a happy camper.
"Roxas, are you alright?" It was Riku that asked, his mild concern for him was unexpected. Before the blonde could respond, a knock was heard from Riku's door. And before anyone moved to open it, in walked Ryu, looking half amused and half serious. Of course, the confused looks on Sora's and Riku's face were priceless, but Roxas had no time to laugh. One thought was going through his head. ISN'T HE SUPPOSE TO BE DEAD?!?! And sure enough, Ryu looked as alive as anyone in Riku's living room.
"Now before you start questioning who I am and throw me out of here, let me start by saying that I'm Ryu." The confused looks from Sora and Riku turned to understanding, to confused again, to being sick, then irritation.
"You said he was a heart?!" Sora had turned to the blonde, who had been startled by the sudden outburst and tripped on the living room's carpet and fell on his bum. Roxas had tried to retaliate.
"But he was-he is-I thought-what?!" Roxas was confused as well, and could feel a major headache about to form. Riku was on the defensive.
No One's POV
"Alight, who are you?" In a flash, his Dawn Keyblade was in his hand and was pointing it at the unexpected visitor. Ryu didn't even flinch.
"Look, I don't have time to explain. We have trouble." The atmosphere in the room had suddenly turned very cold.
"What do you mean trouble?" Sora's Kingdom Key was also in his hand and was pointing it at Ryu. Ryu wasn't concerned about the keyblades that were being pointed at him; his concern was for the safety of the Guardians that were right now being followed at this instant.
"I'm sure the Kid—" pointing his thumb in Roxas' direction that was still on the floor, "told you everything I told him right?" At this pause, everyone had nodded.
"Yeah, that you gave him a heart, and how a war is about to be repeated. Right?" Riku lowered his arm, but not by much. Sora, on the other hand, had completely lowered his arm so that his Kingdom Key was touching the floor.
"Good. So you're informed. But like I said, we have trouble." Ryu was getting impatient, if he didn't hurry, then the Guardians could be in serious trouble.
"You already said that. Like three time." Roxas was lifting himself off the floor and was facing Ryu in his full height. "So what's the problem?" Roxas as well was getting impatient to hear what the older man had to say. And one glance at Riku and Sora told him that they were as well.
"The Guardians are in trouble." That one sentence had nearly sent Roxas over the edge. No! I promised myself I wouldn't let that happen! Roxas was about to ask what the situation was when Sora had spoken.
"Guardians? What Guardians?" This was something that Roxas had left out, and apparently it was something important.
"You didn't tell them about the Guardians?!" Roxas had only shaken his head no. How could I be so stupid!?
"The Guardians are three people, can be either male or female, but in this case, they're female. They are called by many names: The Protectors, The Guardians, and The Kingdom's Knights, anything in that category. But they are mostly called the Guardians." Riku still wasn't following.
"So what does that have to do with us?" Sora was also at a lost, and voiced in a question of his own.
"And why are they in trouble?"
Before Ryu could respond, glaring at Roxas because he didn't deliver ALL the information, Roxas decided to speak.
"Remember I told you about the war? That three Keybladers and The Guardians were fighting against evil?" Both teens nodded. Ryu was getting very impatient.
"YOU'RE THE BLADERS! NOW CAN WE GET A MOVE ON?!" Ryu was tired of wasting time. He needed to be on Earth, he had to warn the Guardians.
"Us?" Sora was pointing a finger at himself. And instantly, realization hit him…literally. Roxas had smacked his head from behind.
"Of course you are! Does KEYBLADE MASTER ring any bells?!" To tell the truth, Sora had completely forgotten that he was.
"OK…So I'm assuming that Roxas is as well?" Riku was connecting the dots, and figured out what was happening.
"Yes, he is. Now as I said before, the Guardians are in trouble." Ryu didn't know how much time had passed on Earth, but he just had to hurry. Instantly, all three teens became alert and got into their fighting stances.
"So how are we supposed to get to wherever they are?" Sora had looked at Riku and saw that he was dressed in a black vest type thing that was zipped at the top, and a second zipper stopping right above his belly button. Above the vest, he was wearing another vest that was white and yellow with blue stripes. Riku was also wearing very baggy jeans…surprisingly… that were barely being held up by a belt with white studs. Riku was also wearing a white fingerless glove on his left arm that went half way up his forearm. (Basically his attire in KHII)
Sora looked at Roxas and saw that he was still wearing his Organization cloak. But then Sora looked down at himself. He was still wearing the Blitz Ball shorts and the over sized white tee. Roxas and Riku are alright with what they're wearing. But we might have to fight. And I can't fight in these clothes.
"I'm taking you. But I have to warn you. At this moment in time, only you three will be able to see." All three teens got confused. Greeeeeeeeeeeeeeattttt…more riddles. Roxas hated riddles, hated them with a passion.
"Why?" Riku wanted to know everything that he needed to know before he got too deep into whatever they're about to get into.
"I can't give details now. I'll save that for later. Right now we need to leave." Before Ryu could do anything, Sora had intervened.
"I'm alright with leaving now and everything, but I won't be able to fight in what I'm wearing at the movement." Which was true, Sora wasn't used to fighting in the attire that he was wearing. Ryu took one look at Sora and snapped his fingers. Sora was engulfed in a bright light and his clothes had changed. His clothes had changed to..(it's too hard for me to explain, but it's his clothes from KHII. Sorry . I Can't really explain clothes. But pictures of Riku, Roxas and Sora will be on my profile.)
Sora was amazed, and he wished that he could do that.
"Alright, is everyone ready?" Riku and Sora had nodded their heads yes, but Roxas had hesitated. He was deciding whether or not to take of the Org. Cloak. But thought better of it, and took it off. (Again, his clothes are from KHII. SORRY!) Now he was ready.
"This maybe a little uncomfortable, but be prepared to land when I say so. Got it?" At the moment, Roxas had thought of his best friend Axel, and how he always used to say 'Got it memorized?' Such thoughts were making Roxas sad, and shook his head to get rid of such thoughts. It has to be the new heart. I'm not use to emotions yet.
"Alright. 1…2…3.." At that moment, the entire living room had filled up with pure light that Riku, Sora, and Roxas were blinded, and with a POP sound, they were gone. They too not notice a person outside wearing armor. But this person was different from his counterpart of Earth. His armor consisted of gold, red, and black. He too wore a cape that was tied to his shoulders, and was flowing on the Island's breeze; his cape was green in color.
The mysterious person held out his left hand, and in a flash of dark light, a Key Blade had appeared. A key Blade that look like Oblivion in form and color, but appeared to be darker, more sinister, more evil than its counterpart. The soldier raised its left arm at Riku's house and said,
"It had begun."
Roxas: Like said, she saved the best for last. And that includes this chapter. =] Please Review!
Riku and Sora: Whatever...
