Author's Notes: My dear friends and readers, welcome back to PokeHearts: Tale of the Wielders. It has been exactly… 2 months and a half since I was focused on writing the next chapter of Ash's story. Sorry for that tardiness of mine – but as you are already aware: Duty Calls! Plus, I have a life outside of the internet as well.
Before I forget any important stuff, Merry Late Christmas to you and Happy Holidays along with warm greetings to the New Year, which is going to happen in two days! Yay for all of us – so long 2018 and say hello to 2019! (It's a little early to celebrate New Years' Eve… but what can you do? XD)
In the time that I was gone, I received a couple of reviews that I should answer so as to clear up the confusion. Let's take a quick look and then get a move on:
The Reborn101's Review - This story is great and all, but it is a little embarrassing to read this first chapter, but I don't think Ash and Namine aren't supposed to meet each other after the attack on his home planet. I think it should have to wait it out. And, maybe Namine should keep this one to herself after she saved him from the darkness and tells him that he is the chosen of the Keyblade and her story about the Keyblade, Keyholes and other worlds not much like his own. I think Namine should look after him while he's been having on his last peaceful day. And tell him that he has been chosen. (Answer: Apologies for saying this to you, my guest friend: but your suggestions aren't possible since Ash's world has already been destroyed by the Heartless. I already have the ideas plotted on how things will go down… so, I'm sorry.)
The Unknown Guest's Review - Aww, I really wanted Eren and Ash to meet one day. I want to know what their relationships is. Maybe, next time, when you get this message, you should put attack on Titan where Ash and Eren meet. Maybe a few different other worlds like RWBY, the Legends of Zelda, the Legends of Korra, bleach, and finally Seraph of the End. If you can get this, maybe you should put stories like this one too. Please, I really wanted to read these stories and other characters of how Ash and Mina come across. (Answer: Tbh, I don't like Attack on Titan. It isn't my kind of anime to watch… I already have some worlds figured out though. Hopefully you and the rest of the readers will enjoy them.)
The Second Unknown Guest's Review – Ash x Aqua! (Answer: Nope! Sorry, friend… but I want to experiment and change a couple of things from the original two PokeHearts. If you don't like the pairing, life is unfair. I'm sorry.)
The Third Unknown Guest's Review – Don't forget, it's all about Ash Ketchum and his story of how he meet with the other Keyblade Wielders. I wanted to see ash walked alone on his journey, so he could meet with the others. (Answer: Umm…? Since when does he meet other wielders whilst being alone on his journey? In the original PokeHearts story, he and Pikachu are traveling on their own without other wielders to assist them. It will still be focusing on Ash… but I took inspiration from another story on how he meets both Sora and Mina in Twilight Town. I'm trying to follow the example of the fanfic I read.)
And that is all the new reviews I got – a couple of things I wanna clear up before I start:
I'm still trying to retrieve my Pokémon knowledge by using the Pokémon Wikipedia and Info on the different types of Pokémon: if I ever screw up with the attacks or skills, don't be afraid to tell me in Review Box – I'll be sure to fix it! (Also, I read Pokémon fanfics as well to rebuild my knowledge once again!)
Spoilers ahead for all those that are kept in the shadows: Ash will get back his Pikachu very soon… but he won't be the only one who retrieves his Pokémon back. Mina and Sora will get their own as the story progresses.
No more suggesting Ash be paired with Aqua. I'm trying to change the PokeHearts story by making sure that it follows a new direction. Bear with me as I write more… but no more suggesting Ash x Aqua! The next person who suggests it via a guest review will be automatically removed.
Helpful criticism is always available! If I've made a mistake, be sure to tell me!
Asking you all right now if Ash or Mina should get Drive Forms like Sora's! Be sure to tell me in the Comments' Box!
I think that clears everything I have to say… Without further ado, let's get this gig on the air! I don't own Kingdom Hearts or Pokémon – they belong to Tetsuya Nomura and Nintendo!
Chapter 4 – Journey to the Tower.
After Sora, Mina and Ash were done with introductions, they along with Donald, Goofy and Jiminy exited the Pod Room and the Basement Area all the way up to the foyer of the abandoned and wrecked mansion. Stepping outside into the garden, the first thing the group noticed was that the front gate was completely unlocked.
"The front gate's unlocked? That's… strange." Ash was the first to speak.
"Don't place likes these usually have closed front gates?" Sora asked.
"Yep. Mansions like this one are especially known for having its front gate closed with a lock." Mina spoke as well.
Sora crossed his arms and began to wonder who would even leave the front gate open to a mansion – even if it was old and wrecked.
"Well… we won't find the answer if we stand around in one place. Let's get a move on a find out where we are!" Donald ran ahead followed by Goofy.
"Oy! Wait for us!" Mina called out as she and the boys followed after their companions.
The trio ran through a thick forest into a cracked hole which lead them to a strange but modern town. Trams were going from one direction to the other whilst shopkeeper were going about their normal business – selling products and stuff to different people.
Donald and Goofy were examining the town from all location just as Sora and his friends caught up with them. "There you are!" Ash called out to the wizard and captain.
"Wait for us next time, why don't you?" Mina voiced her frustrations due to the fact that Donald and Goofy took off without a word.
"Sorry about that, you two. We were just wonderin' what kind of world is this." Goofy innocently replied.
Sora took a quick look at this place and came to a conclusion. "Well… wherever we are, this doesn't look like one of the worlds the three of us visited before."
Upon hearing those words, Mina and Ash both froze in shock as they turned to look at Sora who upon seeing them had a confused expression. "H-Hey… are you two alright?"
"Y-you're from another world!?" Mina and Ash both asked at the same time with Sora's eyes widening. "Oh, darn it! I knew I forgot something to explain!" He face palmed at his own stupidity.
"So, its true… you really are from another world." Mina confirmed as she crossed her arms with Sora nodding. "Yep… Sorry for keeping you both in the dark."
Mina scratched the back of her head while a nervous smile appeared on Ash's face. "Well… you're not the only one." The brunette told Sora.
It took a minute for the spiky-haired boy to figure out what she meant – his eyes widened when he figured it out. "You both are from different worlds as well!"
The brunette and raven-haired boy nodded. "So, that's why you both found yourselves in the mansion…" Sora came to the conclusion of the mystery as to why Mina and Ash were in the mansion.
"It would seem so… what about you? You said you visited other worlds, but not this one. What did you mean by that?" Ash asked – the same thing was on Mina's mind as well.
"Oh, that… well, you see-" Sora's answer was cut off by Donald silencing his mouth. "Sora, no! They aren't ready to know yet!"
"Wait… what do you mean "we aren't ready to know yet"? Are you hiding a secret from me and Ash?" Mina asked with a frown. Ash was on the same question as well.
"Well, we-." Goofy was about to speak when Donald silenced him. "We can't reveal anything to you both yet… not until we find a safe place."
"What do you mean?" Ash asked.
Donald removed his hands from Goofy's mouth and spoke once again. "When traveling to different worlds, they are rules that must be obeyed! We cannot reveal the existence of other places to the local populace! If anyone were to learn about this, it would cause panic amongst the inhabitants!"
Mina and Ash were both astonished by this – so, that answers the question as to why Sora was immediately silenced by Donald. There were rules that had to be followed…
Donald did bring a good point – most of the populace were unaware that there was more than just one world in the universe. If the information got leaked by someone, it would no doubt cause panic. So, there was only one thing to do – wait until they were all away from the prying eyes of people.
"I guess that makes sense…" Mina said with a sigh.
"But is it important for the worlds to be kept quiet?" Ash asked.
Sora, Donald and Goofy all nodded to their question. "There are rules that must be followed, you two! Protecting the world order is important since we can't allow mass panic to occur!" The duck wizard explained.
"Alright, alright… we get it. But as soon as we find a safe place to talk, you three will explain everything to us. Got it?" Mina ordered with her arms crossed – Ash had the same thing on his mind as well.
Sora gave a mocking salute with a small smile. "Understood, loud and clear Cap'n!"
Mina rolled her eyes but smiled nevertheless along with Ash. "Now… how about we find out what world we are on and get back onto the track of figuring out what to do next?" The brunette suggested with the boys nodding.
The group started to move onward as they explored the first area they were in – a local marketplace with some shops that sold food, clothes and toys. Moving on, they walked through a couple of streets until they reached an alleyway. At this very moment, Sora stopped and looked around the area a little bit. Mina and Ash turned around when they noticed the spiky-haired boy standing still with his arms crossed.
"What's wrong, Sora?" Ash asked.
"Hmmm… its' really weird: but I feel like I've been to this town before." Sora answered making both Ash and Mina look at him in confusion.
"Wait a minute… you told us that you haven't visited this town before. How can you assume that you've been here before?" Mina questioned with Sora scratching the back of his head. "I… don't have a clue, to be honest…"
"Maybe you imagined it?" Ash suggested with Sora crossing his arms once again. "Maybe. I guess it's nothing to worry about…"
Mina and Ash looked at each other and shrugged – who knows? Maybe Sora did imagine being in this town.
"Probably all in your head, Sora. Let's get a move on." Sora gave a nod at Mina's suggestion.
The group walked through a steel gate and a curtained door leading to a small room space with 3 kids in it – they were no doubt around Sora's age. Dusty old furniture with lots of items and boxes were scattered around the place.
The first kid had brown eyes, light skin and spiky blonde hair. His attire consisted of baggy, camouflage-print capris pants along with a short sleeveless grey vest and a black muscle shirt decorated with a white, crudely-drawn skull and crossbones. His shoes had the same camouflage pattern as his pants, but also sported white tips, grey soles and each had two intersecting, black belts in place of laces. There was a white necklace with a yellow "X" charm on his neck and a brown bracelet on his left wrist with several silver pins in it. The boy was sitting on a boiler and was in deep thought about different stuff.
The second kid was another boy who was chubby with brown eyes and black hair that was held by a black headband with grey lining. His attire consisted of a short-sleeved, white shirt with dark cuffs underneath a red jersey with black and white lining. The jersey sported a black silhouette of a seemingly skeletal dog with three bones above it. The phrase "Dog Street" was printed along the left side in large, white letters. Lastly, he wore blue pants, blue and white shoes with grey soles and a purple bandana around his neck. He was sitting on a box and wondering what the blonde's plans were.
The last kind was a young girl who was sitting on the couch and thinking what to do as well. She had brown hair that stuck out on the sides with two strands of hair falling from either side of her head and draping over her shoulders, soft peach-colored skin and bright green eyes. Her attire consisted of an orange-colored tank top with a white floral design at the bottom, khaki-colored capri pants and orange socks with white hems. Her footwear consisted of cream shoes with blackish-yellow accents and black laces. Lastly, two accessories were spotted: a beaded, sky blue bracelet was resting on her right wrist and a black necklace decorated with a spherical, sky blue charm around her neck.
All three were wondering what they should in order to relieve them of the boredom they were experiencing in this quiet room. Unfortunately, the peace was interrupted by the arrival of the group who were looking around the place for any clues as to what town they were in.
The 3 kids raised their heads to look at the group as the blonde spoke up first. "What do you all want?" His questioning tone had a small hint of frustration in it.
Mina frowned at the boy's rude tone. "We're just looking around for information on this town…"
"Yeah… we thought that we'd find something interesting in here." Ash spoke up next.
The blonde boy got up and crossed his arms with a frown. "Well… now you all know – this is the spot where we normally hangout and whatnot." He answered.
"Sorry about intruding." Ash apologized whilst ignoring the blonde's rude tone.
The black-haired boy got up and started eying the mysterious group from top to bottom. Mina was the first one to ask why the chubby kid was looking at them in a weird way. "Umm… what are you doing?"
"You both must be new around here, right? I'm Pence, pleased to meet you." The chubby kid introduced himself as Pence.
"Name's Hayner… nice to meet you, but we got stuff to do, so catch you all around another time." The rude blonde whose name was Hayner left immediately after introducing himself. Mina and Ash both frowned at his attitude – what an ass!
The girl got off the couch and walked forward towards the group. "My name's Olette. Pleased to meet you. Sorry about Hayner… he can be a bit of an ass. Yet, he does mean well most of the times." She introduced herself as Olette.
"I can bet." Mina admitted with a smile. "Name's Mina. Mina Marley." The brunette in the school uniform introduced herself.
"I'm Ash. Ash Ketchum. Nice to meet ya!" Ash introduced himself.
"My name's Sora. And these two are Donald and Goofy." Sora introduced himself along with his two anthropomorphic companions.
When Olette and Pence heard the group's names, their eyes widened with their mouths slowly dropped. "Sora, Donald, Goofy, Mina, Ash… we just met someone who was looking for you." Olette told the group.
"He left in a hurry and we didn't see his face unfortunately. He had a black cloak with the hood on but we did see a pair of big round ears on his head." Pence explained.
Donald and Goofy looked at each other with their eyes widening. "The King was here!?" Both of them exclaimed.
"The King…?" Ash and Mina both asked – the wizard and knight worshiped a king?
"Where did you last see him?" Sora asked with Pence responding immediately. "Last we saw of him, he was heading straight for the train station. If you all hurry up, you might be able to catch him!" Olette told the group.
"The station! Thanks for the information! See ya!" Sora thanked them and took off immediately. The rest of his companions followed him.
Olette and Pence were watching them as they left. "Think they'll reach the guy in the black coat?" Olette asked.
"If they're quick enough, they might have a chance. We'd best get back to the assignment." Pence reminded of Olette of their task for school.
"Right! We've got school soon and we need to finish that assignment… things would go a lot more easier if Hayner didn't left in a hurry though." Olette voiced her frustration with Pence nodding in agreement.
Back to the group, they were running up the road leading to the courtyard of the station and the clock tower. Along the way, Mina and Ash were busy asking questions about who the King is and what his job was.
"King Mickey is our world's ruler! Donald and I are a part of his royal guard. We make sure that nothing bad happens to him or Disney Town." Goofy explained.
"Sounds like hard work." Mina commented with the anthropomorphic animals nodding. "Indeed! But its worth being a protector to the King!" Donald stated with a proud tone in his voice.
"So when was the last time you saw him?" Ash asked with Sora answering that question. "Donald and Goofy were given an important task by the King to find me – we'll explain everything to you very soon. Right now, we gotta get to the station!"
Ash and Mina looked at each other and shrugged – guess the explanation will have to wait until the group were out of sight from other people.
Over the hill and with Sora running the front, the group soon reached their destination – the courtyard leading to the train station and clock tower. Now to find the King.
Sora was looking around for any signs of an individual wearing a black coat with big round ears but there was nobody around. "Hmmm… nothing." Sora admitted.
"Maybe Pence and Olette were given misleading info?" Mina suggested with Ash speaking up. "Anything is possible… though I don't believe that Pence or Olette were lying to us."
Sora crossed his arms and went into a deep thought… only to be interrupted by the appearance of a strange humanoid monster who appeared out of nowhere. He was wearing a white jumpsuit with a large, cylindrical head with a flat top that was emblazoned with a strange cross symbol on its head. There was no eyes, nose, ears or a mouth at all. Not to mention the fact that in the place of hands, there were strands…
The group were quite surprised at what they were seeing – a strange monster wearing a white jumpsuit and popping out from who knows where? Really-
More of the monsters showed up and surrounded the group entirely. Donald pulled out a small staff whilst Goofy took out his trusty shield. Meanwhile, Sora had summoned the strangest weapon ever: a giant key with a golden handle and silver blade with the tip pointed like the teeth of a key. A keychain hanged from the pommel of the weapon and its token was a simple mouse head.
Mina and Ash couldn't believe what they were seeing – Sora and his two companions… using weapons!? Both of them weren't expecting this!
Sora turned to his two human companions. "Mina, Ash! Get behind us quickly!" Upon hearing those words, Ash and Mina got behind Sora and his friends.
The creatures charged forwards as Sora slashed two of them while Goofy bashed some with his shield. As for Donald, he raised his staff in the air and screamed. "Thundara!"
A wave of thunder came out of the sky and shot at several of the white monsters much to Mina and Ash's astonishment. "Whoa!" The brunette girl cried out in amazement.
"You weren't kidding when you said you were a mage!" Ash stated.
Donald turned to look at the two. "That's not that only spell I know! I'm familiar with Fire, Ice and other forms of magic as- Mina, Ash! Look out!"
Mina and Ash turned around to see one of the monsters approaching them via the air. Before it could make contact with either of them, Mina swatted it away using her leg. It collided with two other monsters that immediately disappeared.
"Whoa!" Ash cried in astonishment. "How did you-" Mina turned and gave him a grin. "You can thank Mom for that. She taught me and my sister a couple of moves and fighting techniques just in case we ever ran into bullies."
Ash couldn't help but grin. "She sounds like a cool mother." Mina nodded and immediately got into a fighting position. "Best get ready to fight! Here comes some more of those creatures!"
More of the white monsters appeared – Sora attacked two or three and wasted no time in destroying them. Donald continued casting a couple of useful spells related to fire and ice whilst Goofy bashed some with his shield. Meanwhile, Mina and Ash were surprisingly working together in a fighting-duo styled team. The raven-haired boy was pushing the white monsters towards the brunette girl who was knocking and kicking them back.
The fight was continuing for a long time due to the fact that creatures were continuing to pop-up without no end in sight. Soon, Sora collapsed on the ground from pure exhaustion followed by Donald and Goofy. Ash and Mina were able to fend off a couple more before getting tired as well and falling to the ground. The monsters appeared once again as one attempted to charge and hurt Sora who doing his best to get up and continue the fight but to no avail.
Before the monster could hurt the spiky brown-haired boy however, an unknown figure jumped from atop the clock tower with a Keyblade in hand! It looked very similar to Sora's except for the hilt being gray and the blade being golden. With fast swings and moves, he immediately struck down every white monster in the area!
Mina and Ash both looked and gasped in shock at what they were staring – the white monsters were all gone and there was a strange little person wearing a black coat! But what was most interesting was the big round ears and the Keyblade that the stranger was wielding… could this be?
Sora raised and rubbed the back of his head until his eyes fell towards the cloaked figure wielding the Keyblade. He gasped in surprise when he saw the big round ears… that meant-
Donald and Goofy also saw the cloaked figure and gasped in shock when they saw the big round ears. The two anthropomorphic animals topped on top of the spiky-haired boy and stared at the mystery induvial. "Your Majesty!?" Donald asked in surprise as Ash and Mina's eyes widened. So, this little guy with the mouse ears was the King?
"Shh!" The King hushed them before speaking once more. "You five need to board the train and head out of town! It will show you the way!" The cloaked king fished a small orange pouch from his pocket and threw it to Sora.
Before leaving the King turned to look at Ash and Mina who were confused as to why he was looking at them. "Keep an eye on Sora, kay?" The cloaked king left immediately whilst Mina and Ash looked at each other with looks about the confused request.
"Your Majesty…" Donald whispered with a worried tone as Sora got up and approached his companion. "I wasn't imagining it… that was the King, right?"
Donald and Goofy both nodded. "That's definitely him! I just know it!" Goofy declared in joy as the duck wizard nodded. "At least we know that he is okay!"
"But how did he come back? I thought he was locked in the Realm of Darkness with Riku…" Sora asked as Ash spoke up. "Maybe he had some help in escaping the Realm?"
"A better question that I would like to know is why he looked at us and requested Ash and I to watch over Sora?" Mina said with a curious but confused look on her face.
"No idea." Donald shook his head as Goofy spoke next. "Maybe he is worried that something bad might happen to Sora?"
"Maybe." Mina nodded in agreement much to Sora's chagrin. "Oy! What's that supposed to mean?" He asked in an annoyed tone.
"Don't take to heart, Sora. They're just teasing you right now." Ash reassured him as Sora crossed his arms with a pouted look on his face as the raven-haired boy and brunette teen giggled with Donald and Goofy following soon after.
Sora lost his annoyed look as he started to laugh as well for a few seconds before speaking once more. "Well, if the King is back from the Realm of Darkness… that must mean that Riku has also escaped from the Realm. Well… I'm going to find him and the two of us can go back to Destiny Island. Plus, Kairi is there waiting for us."
Upon hearing the name 'Kairi', Ash couldn't help but delve deep into his thoughts and… memories. Kairi… why did that name seem familiar to him? He hadn't met anyone with that name before on his world… yet… the name seemed familiar to him. Why was that… And why does he remember knowing and playing with a young girl that had auburn hair and blue eyes?
Ash's quietness didn't went unnoticed as Mina touched him gently on the shoulder and shook him up a little bit. "Ash, you okay?" She asked him as the raven-haired boy snapped out of his thoughts and turned to look at Mina. "W-wha… Oh! Y-yeah… just thinking about something."
"Something on your mind, Ash?" Goofy asked with a worried look on his face but Ash shook his head. "Nothing serious… just thinking about our adventure."
"Can't wait to get started, huh?" Mina asked with a grin on her face as Ash nodded. "Yep! What are we waiting for?"
Sora grinned along with Donald and Goofy. "Alright then! Let's get moving and board that train to our destination!" The spiky-haired boy declared and the rest of his companions nodded in determination.
"Let's get a move on!" All five heroes entered the train station that was hosting the 'train' that would take them to their location. But first…
"So… anybody have any idea where this "mystery train" is gonna take us?" Mina asked but nobody had the answer which left her a little bit annoyed.
"Well, we won't know if we stand around… first things first, we should get our tickets and-" Ash was cut off by a "Hey, hold up!" yell.
The group turned around and came face to face with Hayner and his two friends. Ash, Mina and Sora were quite confused as to why the trio they met earlier would be coming here. What do they want exactly?
"Hey, guys… sorry about my rude behavior earlier. I was just on edge because of Seifer. Anyways… we can to see you all off." Hayner much to the heroes' surprise.
"Why would you do that…?" Ash asked with a curious look on his face.
"Well…" Pence began as he scratched the back of his head. "For some reason, it was just the right thing to do." Olette explained.
Sora, Mina and Ash looked at each other in confusion – the right thing to do? They just met them a while back and now they are saying goodbye to them… weird.
In any event, they best not be rude. "Well… thanks." Sora thanked with a small smile as both the raven-haired boy and brunette teenage girl nodded.
"Anyways… you'd best get your tickets." Olette suggested.
"Right." Sora produced the pouch he got from the King as Olette's eyes widened. "Sora… your pouch…" The green-eyed teen produced a pouch that looked just like the one that the King gave to the group a while back.
The heroes were surprised by this – two pouches that looked similar? How was that possible? Where and when did Olette and the King get similar pouches?
"I made this a while back… yet I have no idea how you guys got a pouch that's similar like mine. Who gave you the pouch?" Olette asked with Ash immediately answering. "It was the King… but he took off before we could ask him anything."
"Weird… if you do see him again, could you ask him where he got it from?" Olette requested politely with Sora nodding. "No prob." The spiky-haired boy went for the ticket office and requested the following. "Five tickets, please." The teller produced the tickets for Sora and his friends.
Sora, Mina, Ash, Donald and Goofy picked up their tickets as they entered the boarding platform alongside Hayner and his two companions. What surprised them was a weird train that was colored blue with star-shaped windows and decorated with yellow stars. On the top was a wizard hat.
"Huh!? Where did that train come from?" Hayner asked with a puzzled look on his face. "Most of the trains here are orange-colored with normal features…" Olette voiced her concerns.
"Hmmm… could that be our train to our unknown destination?" Mina asked her companions and Ash responded. "Maybe… we should get aboard and see where it's taking us."
"Right…" Sora agreed with Ash's suggestion as he and the rest started to move onwards towards the blue-colored train.
"Do we have everything for the journey?" Donald asked as Ash and Mina went into a deep thinking with their arms crossed. "Hmmm… for now. I think we're ready to get on board the train." Ash responded a few seconds later with Mina nodding.
"Well, alright! Let's get on board. Oh, and Hayner – thank you for seeing us off. You as well Pence and Olette." Sora thanked them for their kindness.
"Same from me." Ash thanked them with a smile as he got on board. "I hope we'll see each other again someday." Mina shook both Pence and Olette's hands with a smile on her face.
"Same from both of us. You five take care." Olette wished them good luck with a smile as Mina got on board the train.
"Say, Sora… are you sure we haven't met before? You seem kind of familiar for some reason." Hayner asked the question as Sora crossed his arms. "I'm positive… I've never been to Twilight Town before. Why do you ask?" The spiky-haired wielder asked.
"Hmmm… no reason, I guess." Hayner said with a shrug. Sora couldn't help but smile at that – for some reason, they seemed kind of familiar… but how was that possible? He hadn't even met these three kids before and yet... It was then that something unusual happened… a tear fell down from Sora's eye much to the surprise of Hayner and his two friends.
"H-hey… you okay?" Olette asked.
Sora was confused by what she meant until he felt the tear and quickly wiped it away. "Ummm… y-yeah… I don't know where that tear came from." He responded as Hayner grinned. "Hey, come on dude! Pull yourself together! No need for crying now!"
Sora didn't even argue as he immediately nodded. "Right! Well… this is it for now. Who knows? We might see all again someday."
Hayner's grin didn't disappear. "We'll be looking forward to your presence again." Pence and Olette both nodded with smile of their own.
Sora nodded as he entered the blue-colored train and waved goodbye to the Twilight Trio. As soon as the door closed, the train containing Sora and his friends took off leaving Hayner and his companions alone with other people in the station.
"It's strange… even though its only been a short time, I'll miss them all for some reason. Especially Sora." Olette spoke up with Pence nodding. "Same with me… I feel like crying for some reason."
Hayner turned around to look at them. "Hey, come on you two… don't be like that. They'll be back." The blonde reassured them.
"Oh? How can you tell Hayner…?" Olette asked.
"Trust me on this… one day we'll see those five again. Who knows? Maybe even sooner than expected." Hayner replied with a grin.
Maybe he was right. Sora and his company would come back one day… who knows? Maybe even sooner… Olette and Pence didn't know why but for some reason they felt like the blonde was speaking the truth. Sora and his friends would return.
Hayner, Pence and Olette stood like statues for a few seconds inside the Train Station until the blonde decided to break the silence. "Well, that's enough standing around. What say we all have some ice cream and work on that homework?" He started to leave the station followed by his two friends.
"Well, this is a surprise… Hayner wanting to work on the homework? How shocking!" Olette stated with a giggle as Hayner began to argue with Pence just listening.
They knew that Sora and his friends would come back… one day, they would return to Twilight Town. Who knows? Maybe even sooner…
Author's Notes: And… finally finished after so long! Crap, that took way… way… way too much time to finish – mainly the chapter. I apologize for my tardiness… I had a couple of good reasons for why I didn't finish the chapter early like I promised: KH3's release since I wanna see how the Xehanort Saga ends, my new laptop arriving and me playing, a huge writer's block and lack of motivation… so, yeah. It was a hellishly long time to wait… but it still doesn't excuse me from my lack of tardiness. To all those that have waited… I'm very sorry for making you all wait. I hope you'll like the chapter and how I did it!
If you've all haven't noticed it yet, I made Sora a little bit different than the games – he'll be a little bit goofy, but more intelligent and mature. A little OOC, but its important. Wanna experiment and see what happens.
So, the KH3 game… what can I say besides this: I… FECKING… LOVE… IT! The graphics, the plot, the characters reuniting, everything… but the secret ending that I saw… it blew me away! NOMURA, WHY!? HOW COULD YOU BETRAY US LIKE THIS!? IT WAS NOMURA! HE DID IT! HE FECKING SCREWED US ALL! – And now we must wait until the next game comes out along with seeing how the new antagonist of the series will handle the heroes. Kingdom Hearts IV, here we come!
Also, got a new laptop to play games with! Better than the old one – An Asus Predator! Amazing and faster graphics… it's a beauty! Plus, it will help me with playing KH3 on the computer if Square ever releases it… get off your asses, Square and make the game for the PC!
Well, that's all I have to say for now… tomorrow, its back to writing other stories. If you have any questions, be sure to ask me… but no pairing stuff or obvious questions! I have enough of those already… TT_TT
Anyways, that's it from me! I'll see you all in the next part of Sora, Ash and Mina's Journey in Chapter 5! Until next time, I bid you Adieu!
