Alright, here's another chapter of TKH coming at you. WARNING: Although he has a pretty minor role in this chapter, Geoff fans may not like how he acts in this chap...
I am proud to announce that in March, I'm starting up my first official Gody fic, Be Careful What You Wish For Gwenneth (based on the book and movie, Coraline). Look forward to it!
... God, I sound like someone doing the next episode preview thing on Lucky Star...
I should stop talking now, shouldn't I?...
I'll take that unimpressed look as a yes.
Alakazam, Loudred, and Skitty gazed at the streets of the world that they have apparently landed on. Buildings towered the area right after another. People of different species and shapes (most were human, however) were bustling around, shop after shop. Their pale faces looked as if they had not met sunlight for quite some time... As if the world they had landed on was night 24/7.
"... This is it?" Alakazam said. "... Well, ya gotta admit, haven't seen this many humans since they became extinct back at our world."
"Weird," Loudred yawned. "I stayed wild my whole life."
"Never caught?"
"Nope."
"Nice."
"What were you a contest Pokemon?"
"Nope," he answered, shaking his head. "Gym. All the way in Kanto. Had a psychopathic trainer."
During the idle conversation, Skitty looked left to right in a bored face. She wasn't sure what she was looking for... Until it hit her.
"CANDY SHOP!!" In a matter of milliseconds, the hyperactive kitten sped towards the huge store at the other side of town.
"... Thank god she's gone," Alakazam sighed.
TRAVERSE TOWN...
Off in a dark alley, Cody lay unconscious on the floor, still clutching tightly to the key-like weapon.
...
...
"... Hey, you okay?... Oh well, more candy for me!!" Following that beckoning was a bunch of rude munching and gobbling noises.
God, what the heck? He thought, opening his eyes.
There in front of him was a pink colored cat, munching through a bag full of assorted candy. As it opened its bejeweled eyes, it shouted off, "Morning sleepy head!"
"GAH!" He screamed in response, jumping up and pointing the blade to her. Holy crap, a talking cat!
"Hi, I'm Skitty!! Oh cool, a giant key! Y'know, *breath* my friendsare lookingforsomeone withagiantkeytoo ,smallworld,huh?!" She said so fast that it was impossible to understand a word she said.
"... What?" He said in response, tilting his weapon down, seeing as she was more annoying than a threat.
"Hey,wantsomecandy?Ilovecandy!!!!Everyoneathomewon'tletmehaveanybecausetheysayI'm *breath* annoyingas itis ,Nonsenseright?!"
"... What?"
After much more of the messed up conversation, Skitty ran away at the speed of sound screaming "CANDY!!" and "SUGAR!!". This left Cody with a blank face at what had just happened... Of course everyone would have had the same face if they were just confronted by a psychopathic, pink cat.
Shaking it off, he walked out of the dark alley to an area in which most of the campers seemed to have been gathered around. Only about half of the campers were gathered around however.
Some like Heather, Leshawna, Katie, and Sadie were just confused at where they were. Beth and Izzy were in total awe at the creatures that were stopping by. Geoff was, erm, frantically trying to find Bridgette while in total distress. Ezekiel, Noah, Harold, and DJ were, um... Doing whatever they do... No Trent or Gwen.
"So, seeing by the looks on your faces, you're all new here, right?" An unfamiliar voice said. Everyone turned their attention to the boy who had said it, a kid with short, blond hair that looked like that kid from a Final Fantasy game (hint, hint).
Immediately grabbing his arm in a flirty fashion, Sadie giggled, "Um, yeah, so what's your name?"
"Um, Tidus," he said, attempting not to sound creeped out. It was obvious to anyone with expression on his face that he was thinking, "Who is this freak?"
"Cool, I'm Sadie," she giggled in reply while Katie was flashing her a thumbs up.
"Uh, anyway," he began, slightly creeped out. "This is Traverse Town, a place where people who have lost their world migrates to."
"Lost their world?" Noah questioned.
"I don't completely get it either... Can someone get this girl off of me?!"
After practically prying Sadie off of Tidus, despite her and Katie's dismay, Geoff frantically asked, "Where's Bridgette?!"
"... Huh? Oh, right, some of your other friends may have landed on a different world." This only made Geoff even more frantic.
"Great," Heather groaned. "Here comes the singing."
Geoff began running around frantically screaming things that made the others embarrassed to have known him. He managed to run towards the Second District in his distress. It was completely silent at first, most glad that Geoff finally left, but the silence was soon broken by sudden screaming in the Second District... Let me guess, Geoff got hit by an old lady?
Everyone decided to run over to see what was going on... Except Heather. She would've cared less on what happened to the party boy... Or anyone in fact.
Well, as it turned out, Geoff wasn't being hit by an old lady like I expected... The ground circling him contained a bunch of short, black creatures.
"Oh crap, not those things again!" Tidus shouted. "Everyone, run for cover!"
While everyone was panicking, running away, or attempting to kill them, but with no luck, Cody just stared at the black creatures in confusion. Aren't those the creatures back from the island and that messed up dream I had? He thought.
His train of thoughts were interrupted, however, due to a shadow throttling right towards his face... Let's just say that Lindsay has a bunch of strength when she's scared silly.
"Gah!!" He cried as he fell flat on to the floor. As he kicked the Shadow off and got back on to his feet, the other Shadows gave all of their interests in the other ex-campers (plus Tidus) and stared at Cody... Actually, they were staring at the over sized key he was holding. "Oh crap," he said. "Not again!!"
As he sprinted off, the Shadows were quick to follow. Soon enough, the area looked as if the Shadows never even invaded the area. The others, however, were left with blank faces.
"... When did Cody get that giant key thing?" Beth asked in confusion with everyone shrugging in response. Apparently, no one noticed it 'til now.
"... I say we just forget what happened, alright?" Noah suggested, earning several agreements of his peers.
As they began to get back to what they were doing earlier, Alakazam and Loudred walked by, focused on their conversation more than noticing that there were people there.
"I'm telling you!" Loudred shouted. "We should ask people if they seen someone with a giant key!"
"And you expect anyone to answer something as stupid as that?" Alakazam groaned. "At least we got rid of that annoying Skitty. I mean, what kind of Skitty has its eyes open?"
As the two strange looking creatures walked towards another part of town, the ex-campers (Tidus ran away) just stared into nothingness.
"... Like I said, FORGET EVERYTHING!!"
Cody was running for his life from the shadow creatures. Along the way, another group of creatures began trailing him. The looked like Shadows except for the fact that they had soldier-like features. He managed to run through a strange looking store, known as The Gizmo Shop, causing the owner to scream in anger of him disrupting his customers and in fear as the creatures followed his every movement.
Meanwhile, Alakazam and Loudred were in a pretty run down hotel.
"So, no one that has a giant key checked in here?" Alakazam asked the lady behind the desk.
"No," she answered behind her magazine reading. "Now would the two of you freaks leave?"
Grumbling, Alakazam and Loudred (duct tape covering his mouth) left the building.
Now back to Cody.
After much more running, he ran towards a door leading to an unknown building... It must have been the back door to either a hotel or an apartment building because the halls were filled with doors. Not wanting anything ugly to happen, he attempted to find the front door as fast as possible. Once he did, however, the lady at the front desk screamed in terror at the sight of the trail of black monsters following him.
Meanwhile, Alakazam and Loudred were in the Gizmo Shop. While Alakazam was talking to the shop owner, Loudred was giving off a muffled tone and attempted to rip off the tape that his so called "friend" put upon him.
"So you didn't see someone holding a giant key?"
"No, but I saw some kid running away from a bunch of those heartless things."
"Yeah," he sighed. "That'll help."
Afterwards, the twosome left the building that "the one with the giant key" just left... Guess this just wasn't their day...
Back to Cody again.
He was getting incredibly tired from all the running, seeing that he may have just ran two miles. He just knew that the distance between him and the creatures were getting shorter and shorter each minute. In response to the pain, he ran into the first building he could find.
SLAM!
As soon as he shut the door, he collapsed on the floor, panting. ... Yeah, people are probably staring at me now, he thought to himself.
"Hey, are you gonna buy something or are you just going to lie there and scare the customers, nyo?"
"What costumers, nyu?"
Finally getting the strength back to stand up, he rubbed his head as he stared at two unusual looking girls and a UFO (Unidentified Floating Object).
One of the two girls was much taller than the other. She appeared about ten. She had short, bright green hair covered by a white kitty hat complimented by a bell on each side. She also wore a navy blue maid outfit with a giant bell covering her neck. Her gloves and boots looked like parts of a cat and she even had a tail at the back of her outfit.
The other girl was much shorter. So short, she was sitting on the counter. Along with her blank face, she had long brown hair made into two, tiny pigtails near the bottom. Covering her hair was an orange and brown kitty hat with a flower near the top of it. She wore a petite sailor outfit and also had a tail and boots (no gloves) of a cat.
As for the UFO... Well, um, he was a floating yellow ball with an upside down face.
... Who the heck are these freaks?
"So, you buying anything, nyo?!" The green haired one said, getting annoyed.
"Th-th-their are black creature things out there," he stammered.
"Yeah right, nyo," she answered as she walked towards the door.
"No, I'm serious!"
As soon as she opened the door, the black creatures just stared in. Almost half a second later, she slammed the door and turned back towards the others with a spooked face. "C-c-c-c-CID!!" She screamed, no, shrieked.
Coming out of the door in the corner of the shop was a man that appeared to be in his twenties. (You know how he looks like. Probably the only people reading have played the game, so I'll be lazy.) "What?!" He shouted in response.
"The heartless are back are they've came back in thirties, nyo!!" She cried in distress.
Heartless?
"Degiko, can't you just laser beam them or something?" He groaned.
"... Oh, yeah, nyo. I forgot I could do that, nyo."
Opening the door again to the staring black creatures, she shouted off, "LASER EYE BEAM!!" and in command, a red laser zapped out of her eyes. The others seemed to be casual about this, but Cody's eyes were wide open and his mouth looked as if it wanted to touch the ground.
Slamming, the door, the one known as Degiko sighed in relief and said, "Whelps, that takes care of that, nyo."
God, I gotta get away from these freaks, Cody thought to himself as he ran towards the door, opening it and running off into the strange town leaving the four inside the store cold and confused.
... I don't think I did too good... But who cares. You get what you pay for. Hop you enjoyed!!
