The Other Adventure
A New Friend
AN: Hooray, they'll meet an ally! A very powerful one, I should say. I kind of went too far on this one. I should've divided this into two chapters. Oh well.
Disclaimer: Kingdom Hearts goes to Disney and Squeenix. Ratatouille is an awesome movie, really. That movie belongs to Disney and Pixar.
Roxas' POV:
This guy is scary. Who is he? Is he Sora? Nah, couldn't be. That wasn't his voice. I gasped in my mind. What if he's possessed by a heartless or something?
"Who are you?" The guy speaks again.
"I am Roxas. You have to do something horrible to me first if you were meant to hurt this girl." I answered independently.
"Aww, is she the love of your of life of some sort?"
I'm sure I'm blushing at this point, "We're best friends. I'm being loyal to her, that's all." I released Naminé. Enough hugging for now..
The guy paused for a moment. He examined me closely from afar and said, "Ventus? You're alive?" He said that as if he just realized who I am. Who the hell is Ventus?
"I'm Roxas. Didn't I just tell you that?" I heated up a bit because he didn't pay attention to me.
"Hmph, alright. You.. just reminded me of someone very important.." He trailed off and looked away.
What did I just freaking do?
Naminé's POV:
He looks so much like Sora, but I'm sure this is not him. I don't like his eyes. They're very threatening.
He stepped forward.. "Say, I'm not sure if I've seen the girl before all my life." The Sora-like person reckoned.
"Yeah, she's a nobody. The fate of nobodies is that they were never meant to exist," Roxas gives a beat at the silence, "..Including me."
"You know, suppose I shouldn't exist too, but I'm not a nobody." The unknown said.
"Then what are you!" Roxas yelled.
"I.. don't know.." The stranger confessed.
I'll try to help this person out. I don't think he's capable enough of handling a horrible destiny he's going to face, whatever or how horrible his destiny may turn out, "..You said that you were never meant to exist," I speak to him, "Are you going to investigate why you're here right now?"
"Yes! That's exactly what I'm doing." The teen got his hopes up.
"Well, then you can join us. We're doing the exact same of ourselves." I invite him to join the party.
"Okay. My master named me Vanitas when I was born."
"Nice meeting you Vanitas, I'm Naminé."
"Nice to meet ya, dude." Roxas added.
"Cool. Roxas, Naminé," He looks at each of us in order, "Shall we go on?"
We obviously agreed. I never knew he could be like this. I opened a portal and we pass through. Usually, Roxas will be the one who'll start up a conversation for the walk. But he shut his mouth this time. He's got nothing to say. Is he shy to new friends at start? If that's so, that'll be quite adorable of him.
Little I knew that I'm the leader of this trip. I came to a stop when I found a portal out of here. I opened the portal and a bright light engulfed from it. We headed out..
The light faded when I closed the portal. I slowly open my eyes to see..
A kitchen!
..A big, huge, gigantic kitchen!
My jaw drops. Roxas looks at the scenery, then himself. He compares the size of himself with the size of the odd universe in panic. Vanitas stares blankly at a huge knife that is tugged on a bigger cutting wood. Why are we so tiny? We heard a noise then.
It was someone else's shout, trying to get help.
"That way!" Roxas points at the direction of the noise. We all sprint over the table, which makes loud knocking sounds. The ruckus became loud and clear. We can also see the problem.
There's a rat our size holding a tomato. He should be in his home in a wall hole by now, but some heartless blocked the way. I stand still while Roxas and Vanitas run in different paths. Roxas calls Destiny Place and starts an ordinary fighting combat of his. I direct my attention to Vanitas.
He retrieved a different keyblade. I don't know what his keyblade is called, but it looks pretty special. It's as if it was designed only for him to use. The next thing I thought he'll do is attack, but that wasn't it. He also started summoning weird things. Those things looked similar like the huge knight thing Roxas fought solo in the outreaches of Radiant Garden. Are they a new type of a group? I only know Heartless, Nobodies, and Somebodies. What exactly are they? Slash! Roxas saved my back from some heartless.
When we cleared the stage, the rat, with his tomato, ran his way to a wall hole in this kitchen. We walk to each other. Talk time.
"Good thing we helped him. I bet he's going to munch every region of that tomato big time." Roxas commented.
"Rats eat tomatoes?" Vanitas spoke to Roxas as if Roxas was absolutely crazy.
"Err, maybe tomatoes are the new cheese." Roxas said in defense.
"Good theory, Roxas." I giggled.
"This isn't fashion, dude. Girls say that like 'purple is the new black', but it definitely won't do with foods." Vanitas crossed his arms.
"Who cares? What else can we get from a rat bringing a tomato home!" Roxas shouted directly at Vanitas.
From the way I see it; they already act like brothers to each other. I'm amazed they never noticed that..
"Psst!" A certain voice came out from the hole. We can also the rat's snout, "Hey, you guys! Come in here!"
Whoa, the tomato rat can actually talk? We walk towards the hole.
When we're all inside, the rat shakes all of our hands together in his grasp.
"Oh, thank you, thank you so much for helping me! Without you, I won't make it this far. I know I can get Colette to help me out, but I have to finish this by the deadline and she has to go home and the same goes for Linguini and.." The rat freezes in the middle of his funny hand gestures. He realized he kind of lost his manners. He settles down, put his hands behind his back and clears his throat, "Ahem, by the way. I'm the chef of this restaurant. My name is Remy. Hello." Remy introduced himself, "Who are you heroes of mine?"
"I'm Roxas, nice to meet you." He thumbed on himself.
"Call me Vanitas." He sent a light wave.
"And I am Naminé. Hi!" I cocked my head on one side and smiled sweetly.
"You guys are free from any particular missions, right? Because I need some help on making this complicated dish. I can't do this on my own. Will you guys help me out?" Remy pleaded.
We said yes and we will help him.
"Awesome. Follow me! We'll do the next step together!" Remy leads the way.
We followed. Cooking in small size? That sounds fun!
..To be continued.
