The next morning, after agreeing the children should stay with the ship with Foxy, Princess Kai walks through a marketplace with people buying food, jewelry, and others from stalls. Kai wore some clothes to disguise herself; a dark green T – shirt with a hood to cover her face and eyes completely, the shirt has a gap to show a red undershirt, and dark green big and baggy jeans that reaches to her bare ankles. Her marked hand is already covered by bandages tying her hand.
Kai follows all the people to the center of town where the people cheered and clapped at the sight of a short, stout kid with white pompadour hair bigger than his head is pushing a large cage – like object covered by a sheet. He has an upturned nose, blue eyes, and three freckles on each of his cheeks. He also wears a baby blue suit, a black shirt, and an American flag pin on the left side of his collar, with brown, polished shoes.
"Hello everybody! Now, I have a vision; I predict you all be shock with what I have right here…" as the little boy pull the sheet of the cage to send everyone in shock and whispers to themselves, Kai can hear a whisper of a woman beside her saying. 'What is that thing Gideon got right now?'
'Is that…' Kai thought to herself as in the cage this Gideon got… is Luppi who Kai's summon fought before, this time he is sitting on his knees, bleeding over his bandaged foreheard and under his blood – stained white clothes. He glares at everyone with narrow lavender eyes, getting everyone but Kai to call him and his eyes "dirty." And that annoys Kai too much, even Luppi almost kills her summons for his entertainment.
"Well he survives so can we go?" Kai can hear Kiara's voice in her head and her tone sounds like the cold, uncaring tone Angel and Kai uses.
"Yeah he tries to kill us and even threaten to punch Kiara to get holes to the chest!" Sonya shouts as Kai can feel a headache from listening her summons arguing in her soul and mind.
"Guys you're making Big Sis having a headache." Gory exclaimed as Kai agrees with her before Angel spoke with annoyance. "So can you guys please shut up and watch what will Kai will do?"
"Sorry." Kiara and Sonya apologized with fear as Kai suddenly notice a man with brown hair and wears black clothing, boots, and a white mask to conceal his face suddenly stabbed Luppi's body with a long knife, earning a short scream from Luppi and small lines of blood flowing out of his mouth.
"…You bastard!" Luppi gave a shocked snarl as before the man deepens the knife through his body to kill Luppi, Kai suddenly jump beside the cage before summoning a M16 gun in her bandaged – marked hand to shoot the man's hand and he remove the knife off Luppi's body in pain.
"W – who are you!?" Gideon demand Kai in shock and anger as the crowd whispers to each other in shock and suspicion of Kai's move to save Luppi until Kai whispers. "Angel….burn." earning her bandages from her marked hand to ignite with fire, sending everyone but her to watch in shock and disbelief to see Kai showing no pain of the fire burning the bandages off her hand before the fire put out by itself to show the rose mark.
"Argh! You're a demon!" Gideon screamed as Luppi watch Kai slowly lift her right hand to remove the hood off her face before Luppi's eyes widen in fear as he recognize her face and long hair.
"I'm not a demon…I'm just a princess." Kai said emotionlessly as a woman from the crowd scream in shock and point a finger at Kai. "It's the Princess of Demon Summoning!" earning everyone to scream and panic while Kai turn to Luppi, who widen his eyes again as Kai shot the lock to open the cage before noticing his chained legs are bleeding so Kai shot the chains off before dismissing the gun..
"Can you stand and run?" Kai asked Luppi who replies while looking down to the left with his eyes half opened. "No I can't stand and run away, that kid kicked my body and legs two nights ago and did it again yesterday."
"...We're getting out of here." Kai said as Luppi snapped out in surprise before Gideon walks to speak with a deal. "Wait, Your majesty! What if you work with me? We can do some business!" earning Kai to narrow her cold eyes with a frown before an unidentified female voice shouted out of nowhere. "Judgin' by that look, people wouldn't stop begging you to work with them, huh Princess?"
"I know that voice…!?" Luppi told Kai as he flinch of the pain before two people jumped in the stage behind of Kai and the cage. The eldest of the two is a young man with purple hair reaching his chin, has matching purple eyes with his right eyelash and eyebrow sporting two macaw feathers; two red and two yellow, shiny skin, and wears what Kai know off to be black Soul Reaper uniforms with a orange turtleneck clothing underneath with a matching sleeve covering his right arm and an orange strap connecting the collar to the sleeve. The other person is a teenage – like girl, sharing Kai's height with dark blue hair to her chin, her right eye is blue while her left is amber with a red outline, a mask piece of a horn curved upwards on her head, and wears a white shirt shoulder length sleeves with black cuffs with a v-neck, and gloves and collars over her wrists, white hakama – like pants, and matching shoes as Luppi.
"More demons!" Gideon screamed as the man ran to Luppi to tell him with confidence. "I take it you're still not happy to see me." Earning Luppi to narrow his eyes with a small pout. The man gave Luppi a smirk before holding him on his arms and Kai, and the two newcomers jumped from building to building until they jump out of sight.
After the three had their breakfast at the inn; Genesis, Xion, and Zidane walked outside to start their journey; where Genesis and Xion agreed to follow Zidane as they have their reasons. As the three walk through the area, they notice a building with a large hole at the entrance, fit enough to fit in a large monster and the three heard an old man talking to his friend. "This young hooligan just rode a big lion and took this young man with silver hair with a feather and a matching tail last night."
"I know someone with silver hair, but I know he doesn't have a tail." Genesis said as the two continue walking, didn't realize Zidane stopping while Xion exclaimed. "Same here…"
"But I do and the man's description fits him." Zidane said as the two stop their tracks to turn to find Zidane lowering his head before Genesis asked. "Is it someone you know off?" earning a nod and an answer which send Xion and Genesis surprise. "He's my brother."
"Oh Zidane, we didn't know!" Xion apologized as Zidane look at the scene in silent before looking back to Genesis and Xion with a face showing pity and confusion. "Hey Gen, Xion; do you two mind if we go find Kuja?" earning a smile from the two when they nod in agreement so the three ran out of town.
"Guys!" Sora kept shouting while walking through a jungle he was unconscious for two days. He start walking after drinking some coconuts and fighting some Heartless who tries to attack Sora from behind. Sora continue walking through the jungle with hands behind his head, unaware a figure standing on a tree branch, ready to pounce on Sora with a jeweled dagger in hand before Sora turn in time to see a young man, about in his twenties with golden armor with purple cape, with golden high – heeled boots, his hair is cloaked with a white cape with red linings and a hood with cat ears. His body and face is covered with dirt and bruises but Sora can see his purple eyes before summoning his Keyblade.
"Who are you?!" Sora asked in shock as the man panted a bit before exclaiming with a deep British accent. "Just an emperor who lost his powers."
"Then…you must be the Emperor Firion told me about!" Sora shouted as the emperor let out a scoff. "So Firion have been telling stuff about me while I had my powers removed; for releasing the other villains from that wretched Void!" before the two fight with Keyblade to dagger. Sora can hardly block all the powerless emperor's attacks as his dagger attacks, punches, and kicks were fast as lightning until Sora receive a kick under a chin, sending Sora flying and falling to the ground on the back in pain.
"What do you mean…you release the other villains from the Void?" Sora asked the Emperor in pain as before he could answer, he suddenly grab Sora from the arm before striking a Soldier heartless that almost strike a scratch at Sora's head.
"Thanks." Sora thanked with a nod when a swarm of Soldiers and Dusks suddenly surrounded the two and Sora lift his Keyblade with his hands; both ready to fight.
"You're welcome. So what did Firion told you about me?" The Emperor questioned while the two fought the Heartless and Nobody army so Sora explained while casting magic. "Firion told me you were a cruel emperor who wanted to rule the kingdoms of his world…with an iron fist...and I think he didn't tell me you can fight without magic!"
"I only fight those insects with magic! Whenever I want to train, I fight physically with my summons and the guards!" The Emperor exclaimed as he grab Sora by the hand before twirling around to let Sora kick the last Samurai Nobody until all the other Heartless and Nobodies were defeated.
"Alright!" Sora punch a fist in the air with a jump before turning to the Emperor, who push the hood off his head to find it blonde with spiky hair with a ponytail to his knees, and a matching side bang infront of each ear.
"Mind teaching me some moves?" Sora asked as the Emperor gave him a small smirk with a raised eyebrow before his face changes to a serious frown, confusing Sora before the Emperor drags Sora by the shoulder to some bushes to hide until a boot kick the Emperor's chest to land a mile away on his back from a man with short orange hair, a young complexion of a teenager yet Sora sees him as 40s and wears blue rich clothing with a red cape.
"Well, Mateus Palamecia; are you done training for the rounds at the Mirage Arena? After all, I'm being fair The man exclaimed cruelly as Sora watch the Emperor; possibly his name is Mateus, slowly sat up while panting before standing up, giving the young man a glare that shows annoyance but nod in reply before the two walk away.
'I have to help him; but I'll be in that competiton!' Sora thought once the two were out of sight before Sora ran to follow them where Sora witness the men walking in a portal of dark green aura so once the two walk through it and the portal slowly fade, Sora ran and jump through it before it completely disappears out of sight.
Firion, Tina, and Charmcaster have been walking through a new forest as Firion kept being embarrassed about Charmcaster telling Tina about the things the two, and Firion's adopted family did in Fynn but the conversation was interrupted; to Firion's relief to hear clashes of swords before the three peer over some bushes to see two girls fighting each other; one is a girl with blonde hair with some drapes over her right shoulder, glowing baby blue eyes, and wears white fighting with a similar Keyblade like Sora except full white as a moon; along a wing of matching Keyblades behind her back. She is fighting a young woman with shoulder-length brunette hair and her right eye is green while her left eye is blue. She wears a blue-beaded earring on her right ear, hidden by a lock of her hair, woven into blue beads with gold rings around the larger, middle bead, a silver pendant, a purple pleated, flower-patterned dress, black boots, a black spaghetti-string camisole under a white sash that wraps around her neck and over her chest; and a yellow patterned obi with a chōchō musubi knot and a decorative obidome to clinch the cords.
'Is that Yuna?' Firion thought as he recognizes the young summoner who was a certain comrade of Firion in the 12th war cycle of the War of the Gods. The three watched the two fighting as the girl he thought as Yuna summons creatures which the other girl kept blocking with her Keyblades before the Keyblade wings were floating off in separate ways until they surround Yuna before the girl threw her Keyblade she was holding in the air. Knowing it's an attack; Firion ran out of hiding before running to catch Yuna on his arms and jump off when the Keyblade land in the middle of the ring of Keyblades to form a really bright white explosion that burns a large area of ground.
"Firion!" Yuna opens her eyes which she close when Firion grab her on his arms before noticing in relief while Firion help her on her feet before Charmcaster and Tina ran to them while a young man with dark green hair, red wolf eyes, wearing dark green and red bodysuit with armor, and has a double – bladed sword behind his back ran to the other girl.
"Who are you two?" Firion demanded as the other girl sway her right arm for the other Keyblades to float back to her back before they glowed bright white and turn into white angel wings.
"I'm Dark Ace and this is my demon summoner; Namine´ Rhapsodos." The man introduce the two as Yuna gave a bow. "Thank you for the training." Earning a nod from Namine´ before everyone watch Yuna walking off the forest and everyone's eyes look at Namine´ with shock.
"It was training?" Tina asked in surprise.
"Yes; Yuna Valentine knows I'm a demon summoner so she asked me for some practice with her summons. So is there anything i can help?" Namine´ exclaimed as Firion scratch the back of his head in embarrassment for interrupting the training…. so Firion explains the situation to the two and offering for them to help. Namine´and Dark gave a look at each other before Namine´smiled with an answer while Dark Ace nod in agreement. "We're be happy to help."
ROTD Omake: Genesis's Dream. (*Taking place during Chapter 5 and inspired of Lucky Star Ova Kagami's Dream*)
The night Zidane joins Xion and Genesis, the latter was just reading his Loveless book on his bed while hearing Xion walking out to downstairs for dinner. As Genesis was about to finish the third act of LOVELESS; Zidane opens the door wearing a black witch hat and cloak over his clothes, holding a simple yellow star wand.
"I'm here to grant your wishes, Gen." Zidane said with a smile as it surprise Genesis to questioned him. "What's with those clothes!? And I thought you're downstairs!" while Zidane walks to Genesis's bed and wave the wand before the bed magically turn into a wheeled cart. "Now in the horse carriage we go!"
"It's not even a horse carriage and where are we going!?" Genesis asked in both angry and shock as Zidane answered, still in a calm way. "We're going to a ball for you to meet your Prince Charming."
"I didn't even say anything about some ball and even if there's a ball, I'm not going!" Genesis argued as Zidane asked while tilting his head and wag his tail a bit. "Are you sure?" earning a nod from Genesis before Zidane lowered his head in sadness and defeat and walks out to close the door.
"Wow, this is starting to get…oh wait, I forgot to ask him to change it back!" Genesis first gave a sigh before noticing his bed is still a wheeled cart and Genesis stumbled when the inn was shaking rapidly like an earthquake. Feeling worried for Xion and Zidane, Genesis ran down and open the front door before letting out a short scream with shock when he finds the entire inn moving on its own to a different kingdom.
"Hey Gen, it's dangerous if you fall outside." Genesis look on the top left to see Zidane sitting on a small roof above a window as Genesis shouts angrily. "What the hell are you doing, Zidane!?"
"As your Fairy GodBrother, I can't take no for an answer." Zidane answered with a grin as Genesis looks at him for a while before closing his annoyed eyes and shouts back. "Alright! I'll go!" The two sat on the roof as Zidane's tail kept wagging with amusement before Zidane wave his wand to magically change Genesis's clothes to a shrine maiden; to his annoyance. "Why am I in a shrine maiden costume?"
"Oh wait, wrong costume…" as Zidane wave his wand again before Genesis now wore a sleeveless blue top with white frails, blue sleeves with black straps at his forearms to wrists, a black miniskirt with a blue belt lowering to the right, and knee – high brown boots. Then, the star of Zidane's wand broke and land on the cart before Genesis lift his head with a uhh when Zidane whispered. "It broke…"
"Sorry Gen, but I can't use magic anymore." Zidane apologized as Genesis kept flinching to wish to give Zidane a painful beating but the inn suddenly came to a stop and the two notices a nearby clock showing midnight, to Genesis's shock. "It's already midnight!?"
"Yeah." Zidane said as Genesis asked him with shock written in his face. "Is there another way to change it all back!?"
"Yeah, all you have to do is…" as Zidane whispers in Genesis's left ear, the latter's face shows regret and defeat when Zidane finishes before asking. "I have to shout that?" earning a nod from Zidane before Genesis gave a sigh to himself and….
"Let's join our and Xion's bodies…" Genesis whispered tiredly as he snaps out to be back inside the three's room of the inn with sunlight brightening the room to show daytime, his red leather coat is tied to his waist but Xion was making a clueless smile while making a dot sound every time, earning Genesis to look at her with his face showing red in embarrassment.
"It's alright Genesis, our lips are sealed…" Xion said as she stood up off the bed before walking to the door for breakfast, with Genesis following her to explain about last night; knowing that is a dream, yet it feels so real…
