Chapter 3 : A Destiny Revealed
Twilight Town: Train Station
Ryker ran up the pathway dispatching a few Heartless on the way. Above him, Aurora was leaping from rooftop to rooftop firing an Ice Beam and a couple of Gusts every now and then.
Where are you going? she inquired. She leaped in front of a Possessor and performed a Slash which proved too much for the Heartless. Ryker looked over at her as he continued to run past a wagon.
I saw a hooded figure watching the struggle tournament and when he noticed that I sensed him, he ran off towards this direction. he replied while performing a backwards slash and finished the maneuver with a fireball which went straight at the flower-like Heartless. It didn't have enough time to recover from Ryker's last attacked and shrieked in pain as the fireball connected which eventually consumed the Heartless. The duo continued to run until they reached the train station.
More of those gray things. mentioned Aurora as she bared her fangs at the Lancers and Dusks. Ryker nodded in confirmation and got into stance as a barrier cut off all exits possible in their area. Ryker looked at Aurora who in turn, looked at him.
"Looks like we have to fight them off until that barrier goes away. " As soon as he said that, the Nobodies attacked from different directions. Ryker rolled to the side, dodging a jab from the Lancer and countered with a slash to its back. The Lancer staggered and tried to get up. When it did, the Lancer prepared to throw his lance at Ryker. However, it didn't get to throw its weapon since a dusk was thrown into it, disappearing when they landed.
Sorry for taking your kill. Aurora announced with a giggle. Ryker rolled his eyes and thrusted his Keyblade into an unsuspecting Dusk which was busy watching Aurora who was taking out another one of the Dusk's brethren. The battle went on for about another ten minutes and the duo were back to back, killing any Nobody that ventured too close.
"How much more are there? " Ryker said as he killed his 30th or so Dusk. As soon as he said that, a cloaked figure leaped from the roof of a building behind them and landed in front of them brandishing his golden Keyblade. He rushed forward and dispatched some Nobodies, swinging around on his Keyblade which, by the way, reminded Ryker of a time when he decided to go to the movie theater for the first time to watch Star Wars. At the time, people thought it was really good so Ryker was curious on what was so good about it. He went in and watched the movie, coming right back out about 30 minutes in vowing never to watch Star Wars again.
Kind of like that short green thing when it fought that old guy with the lightning powers. Ryker then noticed the cloaked figures ears which were round like a mouse. Almost. He thought. Eventually, the figure tossed a brown pouch to Ryker, who caught it with a questioning look. At the same time, Sora and Co. arrived just in time to see the short figure.
"Hey it's the King! " Sora exclaimed. Donald and Goofy ran him over and tried to reach The King but were quickly halted by the Nobodies.
"There's no time! Get on the purple train and get out of here! " yelled The King. Ryker looked at the pouch in his hands suddenly realizing that it contained mon- uh, munny.
"Come on guys, if he's Mickey then we should do as he says." Ryker said calmly despite the situation. The group eyed Mickey who was still fighting then quickly ran to the train station. As soon as Ryker stepped inside, he felt a wave of energy coming off of one of the purple train at the far end of the station. He looked at the booth which was surprisingly empty.
Looks like we don't have to pay for this train. Aurora said as she shrunk back into her Altered Form to avoid attracting attention. The group quickly walked into one of the carts which was small and only had a few seats. Sora and his two companions sat down and unfortunately, there was only one space left. The cart was VERY small. Umm.. I can rest on the flo-? She was suddenly picked up by Ryker who went to the remaining seat and sat down.
"There, you don't have to be on the floor now." he said with same monotonous voice he used the other day in his cave on Mnt. Moon. Aurora was surprised at first but shifted a bit to get comfortable on Ryker's lap.
Thanks. she said with a smile though he didn't see it. He simply nodded and looked out of the window to see that they were already moving. The train zoomed into the tunnel and when it reached the other end, you could see the ocean as well as some birds flying towards the sun. The whole trip took about an hour and by then, everyone but Ryker was asleep. Instead, Ryker was going over his thoughts of the trial.
"How does he know about me and what I used to be called back then?" he silently asked himself. His thoughts were interrupted however, when the train traveled through another tunnel which was glowing an eerie purple color. When the train reached the other side, the scenery instantly changed from a relaxing sunset to a dark and mysterious atmosphere. Ryker looked out the window and took in the sight. There was a tower which was easily over 15 stories tall with only a few windows. He then decided to wake everyone else up so he used his mind and gently nudged each of his companion's mental dream states.
"We're here." was all he said. Aurora yawned and looked at him while slightly frowning.
He's so blunt sometimes and really anti-social. But why?
Sora yawned and stretched his arm which knocked Goofy off his seat which caused his hat to fly off and land in Donald's throat.
After saving Donald from choking and an apology from Sora, the group stepped out onto their destination. Sora looked at the entrance to the tower and spotted a rather obese figure.
"Pete," Sora yelled, "what are you doing here?!" Said figure turned around to reveal a bull dog - like appearance complete with blue overalls and a shirt underneath.
"Whaa-? She never told me that you three would be here!" Pete stopped but noticed that there were two others besides his enemies. "More friends eh?" Pete asked. But before Sora got to reply, Pete ran into a bluish black portal that took him elsewhere.
"Coward!" Sora growled. He looked at the others. "If Pete was here, that means something must be going on inside. Let's go." he added. They entered and immediately, they were ambushed by Heartless. The group fought the Heartless off and ascended the stairs which led to a room with more Heartless. This went on for three more floors and finally, they came across the last door.
"I hope this is the end to them, hyuk." Goofy remarked. They went inside to find a room that was filled with books and scrolls as well as a mirror. In the center of the room was a desk which seated an aged man with robes and a blue pointed hat.
"I've been expecting you." he said looking specifically at Sora, Ryker, and Aurora.
"Master Yen-Sid!" Donald and Goofy exclaimed in unison. They quickly went to their knees and bowed.
"What's up gramps?" asked Sora who was immediately bashed on the head with a staff by Donald.
"Be respectful to him Sora!" chided Donald. They began to fight and bicker about respect and old men bit they didn't notice that Yen-Sid was still staring at Ryker, who gave him a challenging glare back, as if daring the wizard to reveal anything Ryker didn't want the others to know. Aurora felt the tension between the two, but she didn't know why that was the case since they had just met.
"Enough." the wizard croaked. The three stopped fighting and looked at Yen-Sid. "I foresaw this day so no introductions will be needed. As for you, Keyblade wielders, you two have a destiny that needs to be fulfilled.
Ryker stepped forward and immediately got to the point."What is it we need to do and what exactly are we facing?" The wizard smirked in amusement and opened a large book that suddenly appeared on the desk.
"Before you do anything, you must learn the history of the Keyblade." Yen-Sid replied.
No speeches thankfully. Ryker thought. Over the next hour or so, Ryker and Aurora read the book which contained information about a war including something called the x-blade and some background information on man who goes by the name of Xehanort. The book also mentions someone by the name of Ansem and gave details on his work. The book also gave information and history about the Heartless and their various forms and abilities. After reading the book, the wizard told them of the Nobodies and a group that went by The Organization. The Organization apparently, are distinguished by the fact that they have no hearts and that they all wear black hooded jackets.
"But what is their goal?" Sora asked. Yen-Sid looked at the sky through the window above him, but he didn't give an answer.
"You will have to travel to each world and free them of their troubles. Only then, your journey will end." the wizard said with a grim look.
"Then let's go!" Sora cheered and ran towards the door only to get grabbed by Ryker.
"How do we get to these worlds, Sora?" Ryker asked. He was immediately answered by Goofy who was jumping with excitement.
"We'll use the Gummi Ship, hyuk!" Ryker and Aurora were curious to what that was but decided to find out later.
They were about to leave but was stopped by a red fairy. "Before you go, let's freshen you up a bit!" it said. The fairy then proceeded to drag Sora to the next room. Ryker and the others simply followed them. Yen-Sid continued to meditate on his thoughts. In the next room, an argument between three different fairies can be heard and as Yen-Sid looked up, he saw that Sora was in a fresh and new attire that replaced his lod worn out clothes. He had black gloves with silver X's on them complete with a black jacket, red t-shirt, a crown necklace, and yellow shoes.
"Ready to go!" he announced. They started to walk to the door but Aurora noticed Ryker wasn't with them and turned around.
Aren't you coming? she asked. The group looked at Ryker who was focused on his Keyblade at the moment. Then, he did something to caused everyone in the room to gasp.
He focused his power and broke the Keyblade which shattered into shards.
"What do you think you a-?!" Yen-Sid began but stopped as he saw what Ryker was doing. In Ryker's hand, was the pure energy that the Keyblade stored. He then converted into his own energy and absorbed it.
"You do not have to worry, I will put that energy to good use." he said. And without another word, he left the room leaving everyone in the room shocked.
They left and soon found Ryker waiting for them outside. He stepped forward and began to explain.
"Before you ask any questions, I will only tell you that the Keyblade I had will not be sufficient for me in combat and I mean to make use of the energy I required." At the same time, he showed them the energy absorbed on his palm, however, it was converted to pure darkness. "Now, how do we leave?"
As soon as he said that, a bright light teleported them all into a ship that was made with blocks that ranged from orange to red.
"This is the Gummi Ship and this baby will be able to take us to different world's in no time." Donald explained. After getting in their seats, Aurora noticed that Ryker is looking out to the sky through the cockpit.
Ryker? Hello? Ryker! Ryker broke out of whatever deep thinking he was in and looked at Aurora.
"Yes?" he asked. "Do you need anything?"
What are you looking at? I don't see anything outside. she replied.
"What are you talking about? I wasn't looking outside was I?" Ryker said.
Either he spaces out a lot or whatever he is thinking of, it must be really important for him to not notice me calling him. she thought. She then looked at him. Nevermind. earning a quizzical look from Ryker.
"We're heading out now!" Sora announced.
The ship lurched and rocked for a couple minutes but it eventually blasted off into the void. They were flying through the void which had some sort of distorted areas within. The trip was rocky but it eventually became smooth when Donald told Sora to stop messing with the nobs. Eventually, about 15 minutes later, they reached a world that showed an image of a white castle with pointed blue caps.
"Disney Castle, still amazing as ever. " Sora said with a smile.
Sora explained the adventures he had when he went to different such as this one as the Gummi Ship flew to the landing Bay which took a while thanks to Goofy who was constantly pressing random buttons as he moved his head in his sleep. The group stepped out onto the platform that held the Gummi Ship and started to walk down the path towards the castle. Aurora swore that she saw two squirrels with blowtorches and wrenches. They walked through the castle gardens which composed of gigantic flowers and bushes that were shaped like mouse heads. They eventually reached a long hallway that had really big double doors that led to the throne room. However, they walked right past it and went through a small door at the end of the hall.
A mouse in a dress and a duck who was also in a dress stopped their conversation and turned towards the newcomers.
"Ah, you're here, thank goodness!" said the mouse.
So, that was chapter 3, not bad I hope. So our heroes meet Yen-Sid, Pete, etc. But, I bet you guys are wondering what Ryker did to that energy right?
