Kaos woke up with an arm wrapped around her and a red box. She squirmed until she was facing her captor. It was Sword. Kaos tried to go back to sleep, but Sword woke up and started blushing. Kaos frowned.
"Go back to sleep.." Kaos demanded quietly.
"Why?"
"Because I said so..and where is Mety?"
"Fine..and I have no idea where he is."
"Did he leave that box?"
"Probably.."
"Oh..You wait right here..don't move..I'm gonna go get him."
"Mhm.."
Kaos got up grabbed the box and opened it. Her eyes turned Purple and she pulled a stick out of the box and ate it.
"Umm.."
"Pocky!"
"O..kay.."
Kaos walked out of the door eating the pocky. She peeked in everyone's rooms as she walked by and made sure to wake them up for training. She continued down the hallway and stopped in front of a red door that said 'Pilot Only'. Kaos opened the door and saw him steering the ship. She decided now wasn't the time to scare him and walked to the middle of the room.
"Mety..?"
"Yes?"
"You..You Left..Me.." Kaos said sadly.
"I'm sorry.."
"Are Not.." she said pouting.
"Yes I Am."
"Prove It."
"I can't."
"Guess What.."
"What?"
"I was kidding..but really..why did you leave me?"
"Autopilot doesn't last forever.."
"So..We would've just fell forever.."
"You're not afraid to die..?"
"Whats the point when its gonna happen anyway..well not to us.."
"I don't know..um..where is Sword."
"Wherever I told him to stay..unless he wants to be punished."
"Uhh...What if he needs to use the bathroom?"
"Umm..Yeah..I'll talk to you later."
Kaos ran out the door and back down the hallway. When she walked in the room Sword was in the same spot. She ran over and dragged him to the bathroom door.
"Lucky you're not James."
"How Come?"
"I would have left you there..now go clean up."
"Sure."
Kaos then stepped into the hallway and screamed at the top of her lungs.."WAKE YOUR LAZY BUTTS UP OR ELSE!"
Everyone stepped out of their doors yawning and stretching. Kaos smiled and went back to her room. She knocked on the bathroom door because it was closed.
"Occupied.."
"Do you at least have pants on?"
"Uh..Yeah..Why?"
"I dunno I'm bored."
"Oh."
Kaos walked in the bathroom and sat on the counter.
"Need Somethin?"
"Whats Wrong?"
"Nothing.."
"Why are you staring at me then?"
"Cause..."
"Cause What?"
"Can't Tell Ya...Sorry."
Sword pouted.
"Aww!"
"Tell Me!"
"Tonight..?
"Fine."
Someone knocked on the door.
"Who is it?"
"Meta Knight.."
"What do you want?"
"You."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Come get me!"
Kaos hid behind Sword.
Meta Knight opened the door and looked around. He didn't see Kaos anywhere. He looked at Sword who was facing the wall.
"Where is she?"
Sword turned around blushing.
"I dunno.."
"Kaos?" he asked looking behind Sword.
"No thats...uh..Blade!"
"Okay.."
Sword turned back around.
"Why did you transform?" he whispered.
"I felt like it.."
"But..you're half naked."
"Your Point?"
"Go put some clothes on..please?"
"Why?"
"You want to.."
"Okay."
Kaos got up and walked out the door, winking as she passed MK who was blushing. Sword walked out after her. She walked into the tiny closet and closed the door behind her. Sword sat on the bed and waited. She came out with some black shorts with a white belt and a 'I heart Pocky' shirt. She also had on a Grey pin-stripped hat. Sword just stared. She walked over and sat next to him.
"Ready to train?"
"Sure.."
"Go get everybody to come in here please."
"Okay."
Once Sword left Kaos went into the bathroom. Meta Knight was looking in the cabinet over the sink. She walked up behind him and grabbed him.
"Heeeyy Mety!" She said happily.
"Excuse Me?"
"I transformed..duh."
"Oh..Hello Kaos."
"What did you want me for?"
"James is looking for you."
"Too bad.."
"Umm..Okay."
Meta Knight left.
Kaos walked out of the bathroom and sat on the couch. Sword walked through the door with the other crew members..who looked annoyed. Kaos got up and stood next to Sword.
"The hell you did to them?"
"Nothing.."
"Mmkay..Who is ready?"
"For what?"
"Training..duh."
"Umm.."
"I know Kaosica hates weapons sooo..She will be a healer thingy."
"What about Me and Kirby?" Jace asked.
"Kirby can inhale..so can you."
"So..?"
"You will both carry a backpack with items for you to inhale.."
"Cool."
"James..Blade?"
"I can use a sword..?" Blade asked.
"Hell no..you can use..uh...Twin Daggers."
"Okay."
"James..I'm sure you have your own weapon..?"
"Yeah..my good looks."
"Heh..You need to look sharp then."
Everyone laughed.
"What about me Kaos?" Sword asked.
"You're with me..I'll find something for you.."
"Okay."
"Now Then..To The Training Room!"
Everyone lined up behind Kaos and walked out the door. She stopped at a big brown door with a sword similar to Galaxia hanging on it. The sword was silver.
"The fuck my sword doing here..?"
"Thats yours?" Sword asked.
"Yeah..Why?"
"That sword is twice as powerful as Galaxia!"
"Yep..Try picking it up.."
Sword grabbed the handle and lifted the sword off the hook. Kaos smirked. Sword fell over and someone laughed. She picked him up and put him over her shoulder then picked the sword up and opened the door. There was a ton of excercise equipment and a couple mats. There was a big boulder in the middle of the room that seemed to have a hole in the top. Kaos dismissed them and jumped on top of the boulder..still carrying Sword. She dropped him in the hole and jumped down after him. There was walls full of different weapons. Sword turned around in circles wide-eyed. Kaos walked up behind him and grabbed his hand. Sword started blushing..again.
"You can have anyone of these."
"Seriously?"
"Sure..No swords though.."
"Okay."
Sword walked over to the left wall and looked at it. He saw a double sided staff whos ends were two gold daggers. He pointed to it and Kaos smiled.
"I want that one!"
"Sure..you know I'm using something similar to that right?"
"No..but Cool."
Kaos took the staff down.
"Thanks!"
"Heh..Welcome."
Kaos climbed up the wall with Sword following. Once they climbed out of the boulder Everyone looked up at them. Kaos frowned and they got back to training. She jumped off of the boulder and ran over to blade...who wasn't doing anything. Kaos gave her some daggers and walked away toward a dark corner of the room. Sword followed her.
"Whats wrong?"
Kaos stared at him.
"Kaos..?"
She jumped on him and hugged him. Sword started blushing and hugged her back.
"Kaos..?"
"Mmmm.."
"Kaos..?"
"Hmm?"
"Whats wrong with you?"
"I dunno..must be my cat side."
"Cat..side?"
"Part Cat."
"Interesting.."
"Yeah.."
"Where are your ears?"
"Umm..Hidden.."
"Can I see them?"
"I really don't want anyone to see them.."
"Okay..now why did you jump me?"
"Because I do random stuff like that.."
"Okay.."
"Oh..uhm..your armor fell out the window.."
"So?"
"You don't care?"
"No..as long as it was you that let it fall..cause YOU are gonna replace it."
"Suure.."
"Time for a break?"
"Yeah.."
Kaos blew a whistle she pulled from her pocket and everyone left the room. She let go of Sword who had his ears covered. They walked down the hallway and into their room. Meta Knight was on the couch asleep. Kaos pulled a sheet off the bed and put it on him. She then fell over asleep. Sword picked her up and carried her to the bed. He left her there and went to go check their location. As he walked down the hallway he saw everyone going to the lounge area. He continued walking and went into the Pilot's room. The map was a hologram so he could still see out of the window. Sword saw that they were moving faster than before and decided that they had less time to train. He ran out the door and back down the hallway. He walked in the door and saw Meta Knight sitting on top of a shelf and Kaos sitting on the floor glaring up at him.
"What happened?"
"Mety has a pervert book!"
"Meta Knight?"
"I do not have a pervert book."
"Then why can't I see it?
"Because.."
"Grr.."
"Umm..Were moving faster so we probably have about 2 or 3 days left to prepare.."
"So..? We'll be ready."
"Oh..umm..could you tell me what is in the box?"
"The next Eternal."
"Huh?"
"A Betamon that looks like me in my other form.."
"Oh..Its alive?"
"No we have to put the egg and star together."
"Oh.."
"What time is it?"
"I dunno ask MK.."
"9 o'clock."
"Thanks I'm gonna go back to sleep now."
Kaos grabbed Sword and dragged him to the bed and fell asleep. Sword started squirming and Kaos tightened her grip.
"Stop."
"You're..killing...me"
"Sorry.."
Kaos let go of Sword and he wrapped an arm around her. She smiled and closed her eyes. Sword turned on the television and watched a show with two stupid dogs that Knight's eyes turned pink and he watched too.
Five hours later Kaos woke up. She got out of bed and went to go wash up. Someone knocked on the door and she whimpered.
"What?"
"Whos in here?
"Seriously?"
"Yeah."
"Your Mother."
"That isn't nice."
"Never said I was."
"Sure didn't."
Kaos sighed and opened the door to reveal a shocked Meta Knight. He pointed to her face and she whimpered again.
"How did that happen..?"
"I don't know..but it hurts."
"I can tell..you want me to go get Kaosica..?
"No Thanks..I can take care of it myself."
"Okay..but theres a meeting in the Lounge soon.."
"Kay I'll be there.
Meta Knight left the room and Kaos closed the bathroom door and looked at her scar. It slanted across her fur and it went over her left eye. She went out the bathroom and opened a drawer with her clothes in it. She pulled out a black heart shaped eyepatch and tied it on. Kaos brushed her fur before leaving for the Lounge.
As she walked down the hall she heard a crash from one of the bedrooms and walked in. She saw James standing on top of a high shelf and a huge roach..demon..thing. He was crying and shaking. Kaos sighed and grabbed the demon's antenna and choked it with them. James stopped crying but he kept on shaking. Kaos pulled him down and he just stared at her.
"Welcome.."
"Thanks...and why are you a cat..?"
"Oh my..can you see my ears..?"
"Yeah..why?"
"Just..don't touch them..I need a hat..oh and I transformed to keep MK away.."
"Oh..I have a fedora..Its black so it'll match..and what did he do to you..?"
"Thanks..he didn't do anything..its just..what he COULD do."
"Oh.."
James gave Kaos the Fedora, which she put on immediatley and smiled. James smiled too..still shaking a little. Kaos grabbed his hand and pulled him out the door and down the hallway.
"Where did it come from..?"
"I dunno..I was seeing this Black Haze and it just showed up.."
"Mhm..did you hear anything..?
"No.."
"I'll warn the others during the meeting."
"Okay."
They continued walking down the hallway chatting until they reached the lounge. Kaos held onto James' hand since he was still shaking. Kaosica stood up from a chair and rushed over to them, worry evident on her face. James tried to stop shaking but it just got worse so Kaos pushed him over to Kaosica, who embraced him. They walked away..James probably telling her what happened. Kaos scanned the room and found Sword and Meta Knight sitting in a corner. She quietly slipped over to them and scared them both by squishing them to her. They both started blushing and Kaos smiled. She then sat down in the chair between them and waited for one of them to say something.
"Sorry.." Sword said sadly.
"What for..?"
"The scar.."
"You mean YOU did this..?"
"NO..There was..I don't know..like..a black fog..then something started making wierd noises and I thought it was a demon so I got away from you thinking it was gonna get you if I stayed.."
"How'd I get the scar..?"
"It cut you..I was trying to stop it..but...it was to fast."
"Someone really hates me.."
"Maybe..The hat is nice.."
"James let me wear it.."
"Ears..?"
"Yeah..he already knew I was part something so he knew I had ears already, he also knew that I hate showing my ears.."
"Oh..Think we should start..?"
"Sure." Kaos agreed before telling everyone to be quiet.
They started off talking about their training schedules and who used what weapon. They then discussed who the pilots were and when they should control the ship since Autopilot didn't last forever. Kaos and James then told everyone about the Black Haze and they got worried. Kaos promised them they would all be safe and invited them to sleep in her room. They all agreed happily and were dismissed to go get their things together. Kaos left the lounge and checked their location before heading to her room.
As soon as she opened the door someone hugged her from behind and someone in front. Kaos smiled and turned around so they would let go. The one in front was Sword..of course. The one in back was Kirby with a huge smile on his face. Kaos hugged them both back and picked up Kirby. His smile got wider.
"I didn't even know that was possible." Kaos said shocked.
"What..?" Sword asked.
"Kirby's smile could get so big.."
"Oh..Umm..what are we gonna do when they get here..?"
"I dunno.."
"Can you tell me what you were gonna tell me before..?"
"Oh..uh..how about tomorrow morning when everyone leaves..sorry."
"Can I see your ears..Please..?"
"Fine."
Kaos took off her fedora and showed Sword her black ears. One of them had a white star on it. Sword reached out, but then put his hand down and pointed behind Kaos. Kaos turned around and saw everyone by the door smiling. Kaos asked them to come in and to find a place to sleep.
Once they were all settled in, Kaos turned on the Television and went over to the bookshelf. She chose a thick book and lay on her bed to begin reading. As soon as she turned the fist page she saw it. The Black Haze. Kaos yelled for eveyone to get back even though she couldn't tell if they did. She sat up against what she believed to be the headboard and waited for it to pass. After a while it did pass and there was a demon in the middle of the room. The demon very much resembled a wolfwrath except it was more feminine and its fur was a shiny blue. It also had a cracked halo laying on its head. Kaos held her hand up and approached it. The demon looked at her from the corner of its eye then turned around and..pranced over to her. Kaos' eyes widened and she put her hand down. The demon rubbed against Kaos' legs and Kaos frowned. She pet the demon.
"Umm..what is it..?" Kaos asked Meta Knight.
"A Hevonlee."
"Is it good..?"
"As long as you don't hurt it on purpose."
"Okay..can it speak..?"
"I don't know probably."
"Umm I can understand animals..just in case it can't talk." Kaosica said.
"Okay."
"Uh..Hevonlee..?"
"Yes Master..?"
"Wow..Umm..Where did you come from?"
"The Haze."
"What is it exactly..?"
"Its a whole other dimension..half good..half bad."
"So you came from the good side?"
"No, I'm from inbetween."
"Oh..why does the Haze occur..we didn't do anything.."
"We demons don't even know..but I think it has something to do with whoever summoned us."
"James got a roach thing..why?"
"There must be something dark within him..I can erase it if he wants and the haze may come back to him."
"James..?"
"Okay..will it hurt..?"
"No not really."
"Okay."
The Hevonlee walked over to James and sat down. It then placed its paw on his forehead and started to glow brightly. James then started to glow too and his eyes widened. A bright flash temporarily blinded everyone. Once they could see again James was now part cat. He also looked very similar to Kaos. Kaos stared at him then pointed to her head.
James went into the bathroom and gasped. He had ears and a tail..the same as Kaos'. He also had a star on his ear. James refrained from touching his ears since Kaos did too. Kaos walked into the bathroom behind him and grabbed his tail. James whimpered and she let go.
"What was that for..?"
"Making sure you could feel it."
"Oh..can I touch my ears.?"
"Sure..I don't touch mine because of how sensitive they are."
"Oh."
"Umm..what can't I do..?"
"You can't swim unless you have something covering your ears."
"Thats it..?"
"Yep."
"Thanks."
"Good Luck.."
Kaos and James both walked out of the bathroom and watched everyone asking the Hevonlee questions. Kaos smiled and whistled, calling her new pet to her. Kaos rubbed behind her ears and she sat down. Kaosica came over and pet the Hevonlee too.
"Why is James part cat..?" she asked the Hevonlee "Its his true form."
"How..?"
"His parents abandoned him."
"His parents are dead.."
"No they abandoned him awhile after he was born.."
"Why..?"
"I couldn't tell."
"Oh..why does he have a star on his ear..?"
"Ask my master, for I have no such knowledge."
"Kaos..?"
"The star is a family seal..sort of."
"So he's related to you..?"
"Maybe..the family name is Foxx..what is his last name..?"
"Foxx.."
"I guess we are."
"So he is realated to you in this form but not the other one..?"
"Yes..I'm not quite sure how I have two forms because they joined long ago."
"Oh."
"Is there anything I shouldn't do..or try..?"
"Touching his ears and tail..unless he says so."
"Okay"
Kaosica thanked them for the information and walked away. Kaos continued petting the Hevonlee. Sword walked over and frowned.
"Is it dangerous..?"
"IT is a she and no..she isn't, but she does need a name."
"Oh.."
"Do you have a name already..?"
"I don't think so."
"Okay..How about Lunei..?"
"That is a great name!" the Hevonlee said excitedly.
"Thanks.."
"Umm.."
"Oh yeah..here is my best friend..Sword..who also needs a new name."
"Hello Sword."
"Hello..uh..are you gonna name me..?"
"When I come up with one maybe..but what were you about to do earlier..?"
"I wanted to touch your ears.."
"Oh..you can touch my tail..no ears though."
"Okay."
Sword petted Lunei and then sat down next to Kaos. Kaos turned to Sword, who had a disturbed expression. She tilted her head slightly and he looked up. He smiled but she could still tell that he was disturbed. Lunei was also studying him.
"Sword..Whats Wrong?" Kaos asked.
"Nothing..I was just thinking."
"About what..?"
"Well..I don't know what we're gonna do when we get there.."
"Don't worry I'll tell you once I put it all together."
"Okay.."
Kaos gave him a hug and ran back over to the bookshelf. She climbed on top of it and whistled loudly. Everyone gave her their full attention.
"Okay...has everyone been training like I told you all to..?"
Everyone nodded.
"Good..apparantly we're moving faster than before..so we don't have much time left to prepare."
"Where are we going exactly..?"
"DeiMoon..just to go talk with someone, then we're heading to Excel Star..my home planet.." Kaos said.
"Anything wrong with your home planet?"
"Whats wrong with most of the planets in this galaxy..?" Jace asked.
"Demon Beasts." Meta Knight answered "Right..and that is why we train..but since Lunei came along I'm sure we'll get the box back."
"Are we gonna have..like groups or something..?" Blade asked "Sure we could..and everyone who has a warpstar will have to share with someone who doesn't since they can convert into small starships and orbit during the nighttime."
"Okay..I don't really know how to work mine..but what if someone's malfunctions..?" Jace asked "Then we will go search for shelter.." Kaos responded "Will we travel on foot..?" James asked "Most of the time." Kaos answered.
"What about Lunei..she may not fit in the warpstar with you.." Sword said.
"I can still go back to my original form..."
"Okay..so who is in what group?" Meta Knight asked.
"Okay the people in my group will be..Lunei, Sword, Meta, Kirby."
"Umm..my group will be..James, Blade, and..Jace." Kaosica said "Okay two groups..we will all have communicators just in case..but make sure your comm is very quiet."
"Okay..will we have a map or something..?" Kaosica asked "The communicators have a GPS built in so you won't get lost unless something jams it."
"Okay."
"Anymore questions..or announcements?"
"Uh..yeah.." James said "Go Ahead.."
"Okay..if anyone DOES get lost just call my name I can hear pretty well now.."
"Okay..and you may fight if you have to..if anything looks innocent it probably isn't..so no pets unless its from the haze."
Everyone nodded.
"Okay you all can go to sleep now."
Everyone departed to finish settling in and go to bed. Kaos was talking with Kaosica about their schedule when they get to Excel Star, and how to work a warpstar in case Jace didn't know what he was doing. Once they finished talking they both headed for bed.
