Chapter 4 is here, ready to go! Let's go!
Chapter 4 : What goes on in Hallow's Castle
Jack gulped, "What do you want from me?" he asked. Hallow smirks, "I want to play a game~"
"What kind of game?"
"A game of souls~"
"Game of souls?" Sora thought in his head.
Hallow snaps her fingers and Jack falls through the floor. She stands from her chair, "You two can wander around the castle. You cannot go to the basement or my room." She disappears.
"OK..." Sora said.
Kyla tilts a brow, "What is she hiding from us and what is she doing?"
"I don't know what she's hiding, but I hope Jack makes it out alive. Game of souls doesn't sound like fun."
Kyla shrugs. "I guess. But I have a feeling those 'guardians' don't die."
"Maybe. Anyways, what do ya want to do now?"
"I dunno." They hear a loud knock from the door.
"Who could that be?" Sora asked as they walked to the door.
He opens it and Sora gets tackled by a hug, "Hallow-kuuuun!" Kyla holds back a laugh. A lady with a Greek robe, long curly blonde hair, red eyes, and a bow with quivers of arrows was hugging Sora.
Sora was blushing a bit before regaining his composure, "Sorry beautiful, wrong person."
She stops and lets go. She then looks at him in confusion, "When did Hallow get a maid and butler?" Kyla sweat drops, "Yes. Yes we are. Now please leave. Hallow is really busy."
"Oh. Well, I'll wait then. My name is Cupid."
"Nice to meet ya, I'm Sora."
Kyla sighs, "I'm Kyla. Now, what business do you have with Hallow?"
"She's my best friend!"
"Came to hang out, I'm guessing."
"Not really. The guardians sent me to search for Jack Frost. But I wanted to visit Hallow first."
"Ah, I see."
"Well, as you can see, Hallow is busy. Come back later."
"Very busy she is, best to come back later when she is not."
Cupid frowned, "Oh. Ok..." She opens up her feathered wings and leaves flying away.
"Well, we made Cupid frown and leave, what could come next?"
The castle starts to rumble and an explosion is heard in the basement. Hallow goes flying out of the door and slams into Kyla.
Sora caught the two before they flew any further, "Talking about going off with a bang."
Hallow pushes herself off of Kyla and rubs her head. "Wrong button." She zooms back down the basement and slams the door close. Kyla was counting the stars around her head.
"8 stars." Sora chuckled.
She shakes her head, "Owie... the hell happen?"
"A explosion made Hallow fly and slam into ya."
"Why was there an explosion!? This place doesn't make any sense any more!"
"Indeed it doesn't. She said she pressed the wrong button."
"Doesn't she have powers? She could snap her fingers and something might happen. -_-"
"Yeah, I know."
Kyla scratches her chin and walks over to the basement door.
Sora follows, "Whatcha doin?"
"Figuring out what's she's doing." Kyla tries to pull it open, but it won't budge, "A little help?"
"Sure." He then helps out. They pull as hard as they can, but it swings open and they fall down the stairs.
Sora landed at the bottom with Kyla landing on top of him, "That didn't work the way I thought it would."
Kyla gets up and Sora accidentally gets a glimpse under her skirt.
Sora quickly looks away with a blush, "Didn't see it, didn't see it, didn't see it." He said under his breath as he also got up.
Kyla peeks behind from the hallway and finds Jack with his stick. He was in a defense stance and Hallow had her scythe out, still in shadow form.
Sora also peeks behind from the hallway and sees the same thing.
Jack had an angry look on his face, "What do you want from me? Huh? What do you want!?" Hallow laughs, "Nothing, Frost. I just wanted to play a game." Jack charges at Hallow and she blocks him with her scythe.
"This is one screwed up game." Sora whispered to Kyla.
Kyla nods. Hallow smiles evilly, "You can't hurt me~" Jack jumps back and an ice beam almost hits Hallow.
"Of course, ice powers." Sora whispered.
Hallow swings her scythe at him, but he ducks and fires another ice beam. However, the ice beam becomes a misfire and comes straight at Kyla and Sora. They couldn't grab their weapons in time, so Kyla made a fail of a psychic shield. The beam somehow went through the shield, making Sora go in front of Kyla and take the hit.
The beam started to slowly freeze Sora as Kyla's eyes widened, "Why'd you do that, you idiot!?"
"Be mad all you want, I'm just protecting ya. This is colder than I thought."
"Diamond! Aries!" A sword with the symbol of Aries and a clear blade appears. She then starts slamming the blade onto the ice.
"Just watch where you're hitting."
The handle then hits his head, "Alrighty then."
"How about you shut up and let me work." Kyla growls. She slams the blade even harder. "Dammit!"
"What?"
"Diamond is the strongest blade I have! Any other, they will shatter on this coldness! But, diamond is barely making a chip on this stupid ice!"
"Here." He then uses his free hand to summon his Fernir keyblade, "Use my weapon with yours."
Kyla takes it and presses the handles together. The key's blade turns into diamond and Kyla strikes the ice with all her might. The ice shatters into little pieces.
"Awesome job." Sora said as he was shivering a bit.
The key blade and diamond Aries disappear. The fight that was going on was silenced. They peek out and find Hallow on the ground with the stick pointed at her head. She wasn't in her shadow form. Jack had a really pissed off look on his face.
"We better step in." They go out and Kyla yells, "Hey!" Jack turns his head towards them, "What are you doing?" Kyla summoned her Scorpio.
Sora also summoned his keyblade, ready to fight if it leads to that.
Jack moves his crook away from Hallow and points it at Kyla and Sora, "You two stay out of this."
"Too late, Jack." Sora said, getting into his battle stance.
Jack fires a beam of ice on the ground and charges at Kyla. Crook and blade contact with each other. She shoves him away and he fires another beam of ice.
Sora blocks the beam and charges at Jack, swinging and hitting the crook, making Jack fly, only to recover in the air and land on his feet.
Sora and Kyla charged at Jack and Jack was charging at them. Hallow stepped between them and yelled, "STOP YOU BLOODY WANKERS!" They all skid to a halt, a few meters away from Hallow and the three then looks at her.
She crossed her arms, "This castle is centuries years old. You can't destroy any more of it." She turns to Jack, "You know, you're a poor sport. You can't even play a game of tag." She turns her back on them and leaves the basement.
"Uh, OK..." Sora said, confused as his keyblade disappears.
A puff of smoke covers Kyla and Sora and they turn back to their hedgehog selves, but the clothes were still there and they shrank to their sizes.
"Hedgehog butler, never thought I say that."
"Why am I still wearing the dress?!"
Jack just stares at them in confusion, "You two... are hedgehogs?"
"Hang on." Sora then took out his backpack from thin air and pulled out spare clothes for him and Kyla. "Here, Kyla." She then took them. "Anyways, yeah. we're hedgehogs." He said as he zips his backpack back up and puts it on his back.
Kyla disappears in a room and comes out in her normal white collar t-shirt and blue paint splattered jeans. She crosses her arms, "I hate dresses."
"Indeed you do." Sora commented as he disappeared into a room as well and comes out, now wearing a dark gray sleeveless hoodie over a black long sleeved shirt, dark blue pants, and still wearing his normal high top sneakers and one strap backpack on his back.
Kyla tilts a brow, "Why are you wearing clothes when you don't need clothes?"
"I like wearing clothes because it's stylish." Sora simply said.
Kyla face palmed and turns to Jack. "We never properly introduce. I'm Kyla and that lug head is Sora."
"Nice to meet ya, Jack." Sora chuckled.
Jack smiles a little, "Nice to meet you too. Sorry for attacking you. I thought you were demons."
"Well, we were for a little bit." Kyla says.
"Yeah. All a clever disguise."
"Uh huh." Jack said. They all go upstairs, looking for Hallow. She has seemed to have disappeared.
"Hallow? You still here?" Sora called out.
Hallow appears in front of them, upside down. "What do you boggers want?"
"Well, not sure exactly. Oh yeah, someone who happened to be your best friend came over earlier, looking for Jack, but just wanted to stop by. She's left soon after. If you want, I can go find her."
Hallow tilts a brow, "Friend? Cupid?"
"Yep, that was her name."
Hallow's eyes widen, "Oh crap!" She flies out the window in super speed, leaving the three dumbfounded.
"Uh, should we follow or just stay?"
Jack sits on the couch, "Nah. Let's stay out of this."
"All right. Kyla, you?"
Kyla shrugs, "I... Guess so."
"Which one, staying or going?"
"Staying." Kyla said. She stretches her arms and yawns.
"OK." Sora then sits down in a chair.
The three sit in the chair and they all fall asleep on each other. Hallow returns with Cupid and notice the cute sight. Hallow makes "shh" and they tip toe away. Sora yawned, only to continue sleeping.
All right, there's the end of this chapter. Not as long as the other two, but is still good. Anyways, Hallow's best friend appears, the prank ends and... that's about it. So, until next time, we will see you in the next chapter, buh bye!
Oh yeah, Cupid belongs to TBG :)
