Finding Ali chapter three
(Sora's POV)
Kairi sat up in the bed and watched me pack up a backpack.
" Poor Ali, she must be terrified right now," Kairi stated while she played with her hair.
" I know and Riku is freaking out right now. I'm sorry I have to go and leave you girls here," I said as I sat on the edge of the bed.
" I know Sora, You don't have to worry about things here. Mira and I will be okay, I'm sure Mira will understand in the morning. I can hold the fort down while your gone," she smiled and I gave her a worried smile back.
" I knew this was going to come but I didn't think it would come this quick," I said and I started changing in my normal day clothes which was a white dress shirt, dark blue jeans and sneakers.
" You just focus on getting Alias safe home. Okay?" she asked and she gave me a hug. The door creaked open and it was Mira, it looked like I woke her up by mistake.
" What's going on?" she asked tiredly, Kairi and I look at each other.
" Mira was taken by the darkness. Riku wants me to help get her back. I need you to stay here with your mother and hold the house down until I get back," I told her and she just looked up at me.
" Oh no, please bring her back dad. I need to talk to her. She wouldn't answer any of my text messages yesterday after school. I have a feeling it had something to do with what I did," she said tugging at her hair. I couldn't tell her why Ali took off yesterday, she'll find out soon enough.
" I need to go before Riku calls again freaking out that I'm not there. I need you to be good and listen to your mother. If I find out you have been misbehaving I will ground you until you graduate. Do I make myself clear. Just stay here okay. (I look at Kairi) I don't know when I'll get back Kairi," I said and she nodded.
"Just make sure it's not as long as last time," she laughed and I gave her a smile.
" I can't make any promises with that but I'll try to get home as fast as I can," I gave her a kiss along with my daughter. I grabbed my backpack and went to the kitchen to grab something to eat before I left.
" Bye dad be careful. When you find Ali, tell her I'm sorry," She said with a sad face. She must have gotten that feeling it was her fault for triggering her darkness. I pulled her into an embrace.
" I will bring her back and you can tell her yourself Mira. Just stay here until then okay?" I asked and she nodded into my chest. My cell phone buzzed and it was Riku.
" I have to go sweetheart. Do good in school okay?" I smiled as I started for the door.
" I will, be careful dad I love you," she called out and I smiled at her and said, " I love you too."
Riku's POV
I'm still running around packing my backpack and Sora walks into my bedroom.
" Hey man I'm here ready to go. You need any help?" he said and I said no.
He sat on the bed and watched as I crammed a few pairs of clothing in the pack.
" Thanks for helping me Sora. I'm sorry to rip you away from Kairi and Mira but I didn't know who to turn to," He said as I sat down to collect my thoughts.
" Hey it's okay, their worried about Ali too and they what to make sure she is back safe and sound," He said gripping my shoulder, "we'll find her Riku. We'll start at Yen Sid's place. He may have a clue to where we can start looking for her."
" yeah maybe he will. Then we will hit King mickey's place see if he has an idea where she could be," I stated and I stood up, zipped my backpack and headed downstairs and grab two pictures of Ali. My favorite picture and then a most recent school photo of her as reference when asking around.
" There I'm all ready to head out. We taking the gummi ship?" I asked and he nodded.
" Yeah It's on the island though," Sore responded and I nodded
" Then let's go the more we stay here the farther Ali is away from us," I said and we ran out the door and departed for our journey.
Alia's POV
I woke up soaking wet. Rain? Where am I? I sucked that I was still in my school uniform and it was freaking cold outside. I walk to the end of the alley and poked my head out to see where I was, it was so dark here.
'This must be the world my dad was talking about. The world that he was stuck in for a couple years.'
I wrap my arms around myself and walked out, water splashing up at me soaking my knee socks. I hate rain, so much. I kept walking and watching my surroundings cause I remember what dad told me about this place.
'Always watch your back'
The place looked like an abandon ghost city. But what was weird is that street lights were on, skyscraper lights were on as if people were living in them. I saw a tower, it must have been the city square. I head over there to get out of the rain but soon neo-shadows started surrounding me.
" Man! I'm not in the mood to deal with this!" I hollered and summoned my Keyblade. As soon as I did that they all pounced on me as if my Keyblade was a trigger object.
I ran, defended myself, sliced and diced my way to the tower. They blocked the entrance so I decided to run up the tower like dad did when he was my age.
'This is my last chance! I have to use my darkness!'
I pushed off the tower so I was free falling down. I focused all my dark energy into my left fist and dived to the ground, fist first making a huge indent into the concrete. I killed all the neo-shadows with the shock wave. I got my balance and I started panting hard, it was hard to use that much darkness in one attack. Dad always told me to not over do things like that but I had no other choice. I looked around and didn't see anything so I started making my way back to the tower entrance so I could get out of the rain for a little bit.
" Very good. I would expect nothing more for Riku's offspring," a woman's voice smoothly said.
I look frantically around for the voice's body.
"Who are you!?" I called into the darkness and there was another laugh, I turn around and the woman was standing right behind me. I scream and stumble backwards.
" She's a bit jumpy if you ask me. Are you sure it's really her?" a male voice said as he walked out of the shadows. He had blonde hair and red eyes. He also seemed to look like a 20 year old to me but I could be wrong.
He walks next to the woman and smirks dangerously at me. I'm guess that is Maleficent. Dad told me a lot about her and what she did to him.
" everything will be explained in due time child. For now why don't you rest," she laughed and casted a sleep spell at me but I was able to reflex the spell in another direction. I quickly stood up and started to run.
" It seems she still has some energy left in her. Can I play with her for a bit Maleficent?" the guy asked and she flicked her hand.
" I don't care. Just make sure she is alive after your done. I have certain plans for her and I wish her alive to do it," she said and she disappeared into the darkness engulfed in flames.
" This is gonna be fun," he smirked, I said nothing except prepare for a fight.
The guy came after me, just cackling away as his weapon hit my Keyblade repeatedly.
'I can't take much more of this!'
I repelled his sword knocking him back a few feet.
" Are you gonna play now? I'm getting impatient with you girl!' he laughed and I glared at him.
" Oh you wanna play huh? Then fine! (I let my Keyblade disappear) Let's play!" I said and I charged at him focusing my darkness in my fists. I was able to land a really good hit on his face. I ran to the side and grabbed a pipe on the ground and was able to transform it into a lance. Blocking his attacks I whacked him off to the side and he hit a building. He started to laugh uncontrollably.
" Now this is what I'm talking about! I finally found a worthy opponent to fight," he laughed and he started coming after me. I quickly transform my lance into a giant hammer and run towards him just to gain momentum. When I think I'm close enough I plant my feet in a stable position and swing my hammer and make a direct hit and sent him flying up in the air. When he came back down I hit him again and send him flying into another building knocking him out. I hear cheering and laughing I look of to a building behind me. It seems I gathered an audience. They all jumped off the building and came towards me laughing and cheering.
" Dude how did you do that you gotta teach me those move!" guy #1 said as he looked at my hammer.
" Yeah no one has ever been able to fight Darius and win," Guy #3 added
" No kidding. Your gonna be a legend ," guy #2 said with a huge smile.
" I don't know what's going on," I said and guy #3 wrapped an arm around my shoulder and we started walking.
" You'll know soon enough," a girl's voice said out of no where. There was a huge gust of wind sending the four of us backwards. I was caught in the current and I hit a building and everything went black.
