Chapter 4
The Terror of Traverse Town Part 1
I awoke in the back of an alleyway, sitting next to Sora. I looked over at him and there was a strange, yellow dog sitting in front of him.
"What a dream?" he said drowsily.
The yellow dog then jump on top of him waking him up.
"Wow, this isn't a dream."
At this time I was getting pretty pissed off at Sora. I mean he was the one got me into this mess. I guess I can't blame him, he didn't program himself. But I just couldn't resist "No shit, it's not a dream!" I said as I flicked him between the eyes. "Now get up, let's get out of this alley, I want to check out the town."
I walked out of the alley and looked around. I was standing in the middle of a small plaza. The first think that caught my attention was a huge door at the entrance of the town. Continuing to survey the area I saw what looked like a little pig with bat wings. I walked over to it and knelt down to its level. Looked it over and said "Man, this game sure has weird creatures."
It turned its head towards me and said angrily "I'm not weird!"
Surprised I jumped back
"You talk!?"
"Well of course I can talk kupo.
In my head I thought "Well I guess anything's possible in a game."
"And you called me weird; well I'm not the on standing on top of a street lamp, kupo."
"Huh?" I said as looked down at the ground from my high perch. "Oh."
"This is embarrassing." "I wonder if he knows his way around this place."
"Do you know where I am?"
"This is Traverse Town, are you new here, kupo?"
Then we were suddenly interrupted when Sora came over and started poking the creatures' pompom.
"Don't touch my pompom, why does everybody want to touch it."
Ignoring both of them I said "Yes I am new, do you know where could get a map?"
"Ok, back to our conversation, behind you there is an accessory shop. It's owned by a man named Cid; he might be able to help you.
"Thank you" I said.
"It's also the place where all of my friends live. We all own a synthesis work shop up stairs, stop by if you like."
"Goodbye." I said in a happy tone and walked off to the accessory shop.
Then I realized that Sora wasn't following me I said very annoyed "Get over here Sora."
"Stop touching my pompom!!"
"Not again." I thought as I went over to Sora and grabbed him by the ear.
"LET'S GO!!" I yelled in his other ear as I pulled him to the accessory shop.
Once I had dragged him over to the shop, I let go of his ear. Then I dragged him off to the accessory shop.
"Ow, ow, ow!"
When we got to the shop, I threw Sora up against the wall of the shop. He started rubbing his ear.
"Ok, listen Sora when your around me could you please not act like a moron, it's
incredibly embarrassing. I have never been so embarrassed in my life."
He started to stand up and said "Ok, ok, I'll try to calm down; I guess I'm just excited to be in a new world. I've never been off of my island; this is all a whole new experience for me."
"Well, just try to keep your cool when in public, nothing weird or out of the ordinary, got it. Well no use standing out here, I'm going inside to see if this shop has a map."
"Ok."
I walked into the shop and went up to the desk in the back of the store. The man behind the counter heard me and said "Welcome."
Then he turned around and looked at me and said "Oh, it's just a kid."
"Who the hell are you calling a kid, old man?" I said in an irritated tone while cracking my knuckles.
"Hey, hey, calm down."
"Ok, I came in here to buy a map of this town, do you have one?"
"Yes I do have a map of Traverse Town." he said this as he reached over to a shelf and picked up a map. "It will cost you 5 munny."
"Munny?"
"It's the currency that we use here in Traverse Town."
I checked my pockets and found that I didn't have any munny. "I don't have any munny; I just got to this town."
"Well then, on second thought you look like a nice young girl. You just got here I'll give it to you for free, but only this time."
I said "Thank you, sir." and began to walk to the door.
"If you ever need anything, feel free to stop in, my shop is always open. My name is Cid."
"I'll have to remember that, See ya later." I said as I walked out the doors.
When I got out side I saw Sora sitting on the ground in front of the accessory shop. He got up and asked "Did you get a map?"
"Yes I did get a map. Would you like to start exploring this town?"
"Sure, let's go Skye. Riku, Kairi and I always liked to explore the island. Skye what do you think happened to them and the island? Do you think that they're ok?"
"I don't know, why are you asking me? Your guess is as good as mine! I guess while we're exploring this town we could look for them."
I opened the map to check our location in the town. "It looks like we are in the first district; there are three districts in this town. Let's go to the second district to see if you friends are there." Now that we had a place to go we headed off to the second district. The second district was sealed by a huge door behind the accessory shop, we went through the door. We walked along the walk way and then we saw a man running from something. When we looked there was nothing there, it was weird. Then we looked back at the man, his eyes were wide. A portal opened on his chest and a heart shaped crystal came out. As the man's body faded, the crystal turned into a small knight like heartless. It disappeared into the darkness and then out of nowhere we found ourselves surrounded by what seemed like at least ten or eleven of the same heartless I saw on the island.
"These are the same creatures from my island!" Sora exclaimed.
I summoned both resolve and kingdom to my hands. We managed to fight them all off with ease. After the fight there were a bunch of green HP orbs one the ground. I picked some of them up to restore my HP to full. Sora walked over to me and put away his key. Nothing was said, we just continued searching. We went into the hotel to see if anyone was their but all of the
doors were locked. Then we decided to go to the gizmo shop. No one was there either, but there were what seems like limitless number of heartless. No matter how many times we took out the group, a new one would appear. I figured that this would be a great place to level up. We couldn't defeat them so we left out of the back door. We then moved on to the Dalmatians house. When we entered the house a message appeared in front of my eyes. It read "(insert game data here)".
"So along with beating the game we have to look for these puppies. But 98 of them, what a job."
We continued through the house towards the back door. I was pretty sure that no one would care. I mean the owners are dogs. For one thing they haven't attacked us so they must see us friends, either that or their too old to really care. There were three rooms after that and then the entrance to an alleyway. There in the alley way we were ambushed by more heartless. As soon as all of the heartless where just scattered pieces of darkness we moved on to the next door. These doors lead back to the second district where we met more heartless, this time we just ran from them. We ran down an alley that had another door at the end, this one lead to the third and final district. At that point it was a dead end; we didn't manage to find anything there, so we decided to head back to the first district to talk to Cid. We started back to the first district. We fought even more heartless along the way, there seemed to be an endless supply. We entered the first district and yet again we were attacked.
"The first district, there are even heartless here!?" I thought as I cut the last heartless blocking our escape, making the creature disappear. We both ran to the accessory shop. I opened the front door for Sora; I ran thought the door shutting it forcefully behind me. The force of the slamming door knocked a case off of the shelf. Whatever was inside of it shattered when it hit the ground?
"Love the welcoming committee Cid; they made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. Have you been outside? It's a real party." I said in a sarcastic tone while walking towards his counter. "Oh, sorry about that case."
"Oh, don't worry; it was just a very expensive case of elixir." He shot back with the same amount of sarcasm. "Did you get a good look around the town?"
"Yeah, it's a nice place. Why are there so many heartless here, the number seems to have increased since I got here.
"The heartless started showing up a couple of weeks ago, since then they have been here it seems they have searching for something."
"I guess we will have try to figure out what they are after, let's go Sora." I said as I head for the door.
I walked out of the accessory shop and on to the street. Then I heard a voice that said "They'll come at you out of nowhere."
I turned my head to the source of the voice. It came from a man with brown hair and a scar across his face. He was dressed in what I would describe as a bikers outfit.
Sora responded to what he said by asking "Who are you?"
Completely ignoring Sora he continued "And they'll keep on coming at you, as long as you continue to wield the Keyblade. But why? Why would it choose a kid like you?"
Sora said angrily "Hey, what's that supposed to mean?
"Never mind. Now let's see that Keyblade." The biker said while walking towards Sora
with his hand out stretched looking like he was ready to just take it away.
I stepped in front of Sora and yelled "That far enough, I'm sorry but I can't just allow you to steal from my friend. If you want it so badly why don't you fight him for it?"
"All right, then have it your way." He said as he drew his sword and took a stance.
