Chapter 3: The Start of a World-Travel Quest
He felt a disgusting feeling in his stomach. That was the first time he felt guilt. "I can't believe I lied to my mom," moaned Theodore.
"You didn't have to lie about the noise. You could have just wished for your mom to not hear our conversations," Wanda said.
Sora then said, "Anyway, did you think about our offer?"
"Well, as long as there are privileges to being the Knight of Renaissance Light, then I'll do it," said Theodore with zeal.
Everyone was pleased and joyful about young Theodore's decision. "Then your quest begins. But before your quest, you'll need gadgets," Ren Hoek said.
So, most of everyone gave Theodore a special skill or weapon. The first thing Theodore received was the Knight of Renaissance Light's secondary, but also important weapon to victory: the Rainbow Keyblade, a key-shaped sword that shone of a thousand colors. Sora said that this has the power to bring to life anything in anyone's mind. Ben was next and gave Theodore a copy of the Omnitrix, a watch-like device that allowed its wearer to turn into any alien. "Wow," Theodore gasped with glee, "I can become any alien I want with this?"
Ten minutes passed and Theodore had a Rainbow Keyblade from Sora, an Omnitrix from Ben, six Pokéballs from Ash, a ruby ring that allowed him to bend air, water, earth and fire from Aang, and a green headband that allowed him to go ghost any time from Danny. He also received a magic wand from Cosmo and Wanda, magic spinach from Popeye, and a duel disk (an arm-wore dueling board with twelve slots. There were five of top, five below, one on the right side, and one that looked like that where cards are discarded) with a deck of Duel Monsters that come to life from Jaden. Theodore was pleased with his tools. "Now then, as the Knight of Renaissance Light, you're allowed to pick 2 people from your world to go on your quest," Jaden said.
"Why?" Theodore asked
"You didn't think the Knight was well famous because he worked alone all the time, did you? During the Dark Ages, he started out with two squires. Then the crowd grew and grew as more people wanted to join. And that is how our secret alliance, the Infinite Hearts of Old, was born. Do you understand now? Cause you need to hurry. Two people to go with you aren't just going to enter the room, don't they?" Grim sarcastically said.
Theodore thought for a while, and then said, "I choose Matt Millard my best friend and Scarlet Redman, the most beautiful, smartest and coolest girl to me."
And just like that, his selections appeared each from a pillar of smoke and light. Matt was a rugged thirteen-year old with black, curly hair who wore clear glasses and was wearing a blue T-shirt with the logo, "Get Your Game On!" and a bathing suit, while Scarlet was a stunning fourteen-year old with blonde hair and was wearing a bluish-green tank top and denim jeans. It took his friends a few minutes to understand what was happening. "Now that you both know, it's time for the Knight of Renaissance Light and his accomplices to begin their quest," Sora began, "to find the Knight of Renaissance Light's primary weapon, the legendary Blade of Forbidden Light, the one tool that can defeat the Evil Thing and its power."
Sora then rolled out a map that showed the places Theodore, Matt and Scarlet had to go to get to that sword. Scarlet then said with pride, "Thanks for the map, but where do we find this Blade of Forbidden Light?"
Grim explained that the last Knight of Renaissance Light hid it on the top of the highest mountain in the world, Mt. Everest in Tibet, India. Grim also explained that the Knight of Renaissance Light knew that he would be reborn and used the Rainbow Keyblade to make a luck dragon that only obeys the Knight of Renaissance Light himself. "Also, on the map, you'll need to make a few stops and gather certain artifacts BEFORE retrieving the Blade," Grim said in a serious tone.
"Why?" Taylor asked.
"You'll see when the time is right. You'll see. But let's just say that they're like labors. You know, like Heracles did in order to be forgiven by the gods, in Greek mythology of course."
So Theodore and his friends had prepared for their journey and received a good night's sleep.
