Chapter 7: Chris Talonflight: Another World
"Damn!" I cursed, as my sword clanged on the floor. I had been practicing for an hour, after packing, and was still waiting for Leon to show up. I had to talk to him about something.
With a small effort of will, I unleashed a wave of dark energy. Then I sent it flying after a small shadow heartless. The heartless dodged and dashed, sliding with effortless ease. Then the wave dissipated, and the heartless ran up to me, nudging my leg.
"Nice work, Nudge." I patted my friend's head, before handing him a small piece of chocolate. For some reason, Nudge had a huge appetite for human food, although he didn't need it to live. He did, however, love chocolate.
"Let's work on our combo move." I suggested. Nudge ran forwards, unleashed some black lightning upon a moving cardboard figure, and I leaped under the deluge to slice at the figure. When I passed it, Nudge came by it in a flash, and used me as a rebound to knock the figure to the floor. I used my momentum, to keep moving and fire a bolt of black lightning at the downed target, and then rebounded off a wall and landed next to Nudge.
"Great!" I petted Nudge and fed him a piece of chocolate.
"You seem to be getting the knack of your powers." Leon was behind me, watching me practice.
"Maybe," I responded, dismissing Soul Eater, "but it's still a work in progress. It's one thing hitting a cardboard cutout and another thing hitting a heartless or a person."
"What was it you wanted to talk to me about?" Leon asked.
I hesitated. "Can you promise me that whatever we say in here stays in this room?"
"Of course." Leon sat down on the bench. "Now tell me. I promise."
"Have you ever felt a deep pain for someone when you saw them unhappy, and when you saw them happy you felt something inside you leap for joy?"
"Yes." He said slowly. "A few times. Why do you ask?"
"Because that keeps on happening with me whenever I'm around a certain person." I clenched my fist. "Earlier today, I was in the third district, when I saw Yuffie sitting on the ground, crying, and with several cuts and wounds. I… talked to her, and she wouldn't tell me what was wrong. We healed her wounds, and then I carried her back to the shop. When I got here, she gave me a Cure Materia, as well as this." I held up the gray Materia.
"Yuffie gave you that?" Leon seemed amazed. "Yuffie? She's obsessed with Materia. I have never in my life ever seen her give up a Materia. In fact, she will go to any length to obtain Materia." He stared into its depth. "And the fact that she gave you this…" he looked at me. "Do you know what this is?"
"No." I admitted. "I never saw one like it in Final Fantasy VII, or in Advent Children."
"What's that?" Leon frowned.
"A video game that details the history of Cloud, Tifa, Yuffie, Vincent, Barret, and a few others, including Sephiroth." I glanced down. "Your history is in another game in the same series, Final Fantasy VIII."
"Strange…" he shrugged. "This Materia is an extremely rare and valuable one. Wars were fought over a single one of these stones, wars that nearly destroyed our worlds. Of course, that was before our universe combined into one world. I never did tell you that; did I?"
"I kind of guessed it." I admitted. "In the Final Fantasy series, you all lived on different planets. I found it slightly strange that you all lived on the same world in Kingdom Hearts. So I guessed that the combination must have happened: when the darkness separated the worlds, it accidentally fused your worlds together. Your world is Hollow Bastion, or, Radiant Garden."
"I see." He paused. "For Yuffie to give you this must mean you are someone special to her. Treat her well."
"We are good friends." I smiled at the memory. "Now, second question: what is the significance of blood in Yuffie's world?"
Leon thought on that a minute. "Its not so much a question of her world as much as it is a question of her hometown, Wutai. In that area, blood symbolizes bonding, and your soul. Yuffie once told me that if you take someone's blood that you care about, it can create a bond between you. The more potent the blood, the stronger the bond. Why?"
"Because," I said, "right before I carried her back, she made me taste her blood."
Leon started. "Yuffie had you taste her blood?!" He exhaled as I nodded. "I never thought… Wow… You're a lucky guy... never thought the Ninja Enchantress would fall for you… No offense, of course."
"And," I continued, "Yuffie tasted my blood. She said it was sweet, and it smelled like cinnamon, plus it doesn't look the right color. Look for yourself." I slit a tiny cut in my finger and squeezed out a drop of blood.
"You're right." He frowned. "Chris, I would advise you to be very careful."
"Why?" I was confused. I really did like Yuffie. "She's my friend!"
"Yuffie isn't exactly what I'd call a pure soul." He said slowly, as if searching for the right words. "Although she's your age, she can act a lot younger. I wouldn't be surprised if this was a passing craze. Just…Don't get your hopes up."
I sighed. Yuffie was all I had hoped she would be. In my mind, when I had played Final Fantasy VII, I hadn't seen Yuffie as the Materia-obsessed chick flick that most other guys saw her as. I had thought of the person who was most likely behind that persona, a person who was actually quite a sincere, caring person, just hiding behind a veneer in order to get through life. Yes, I know, I tend to over think on the wrong things and under think on everything else.
"I'll see." I responded. "Also, one last thing. Yuffie was injured when I found her. She had been gone all day. Do you have any idea what she was doing?"
Leon grimaced. "Unfortunately, she's in the habit of disappearing like that and reappearing later with a few injuries. It started a few months ago, and it hasn't changed since, unless you count the amount of injuries, which seem to be rising. I think she goes on a rampage in the fourth district, the underground, abandoned section of Traverse Town. There's only a little place down there that I go to myself, and then only to practice my fighting skills." He paused. "There are heartless down there that I've never seen before, and I've only ventured into the tunnels once before. I'm not ashamed to say, I'm never going down there again. But Yuffie… She throws herself into fights that she should never get into, and comes out injured. I hope she doesn't get herself killed." He sighed. "I hope you two work things out between you." He stood up. "And as to the color of your blood, it's probably the darkness." He paused, looking at me intently. "Say, you wouldn't be up for a quick match now, would you?"
"Yeah." I re-summoned Soul Eater. "Give me all you've got, Leon!"
We clashed; his gunblade against my Soul Eater. Leon pushed me back a few feet, before I did a back flip behind me. I landed, and fired a weak bolt of dark energy at him. He dodged it, and began firing blasts at me from his gunblade. I used the darkness to propel me through midair in a gliding move. Then I called on Nudge to throw me towards Leon. My ally did as required, as well as conjuring a dark shield around me when I landed behind Leon. Leon was distracted with fending off Nudge, and I took the opportunity to kick him down. However, Leon then summoned a circle of explosions around him, knocking Nudge into a wall. I then engaged him in a slashing duel for a few moments. Then, when I again locked blades with him, I summoned a storm of black electricity. The storm slammed into Leon, sending him flying.
"Not hurt, I hope?" I asked.
"Not a scratch!" Leon had deflected the brunt of the attack with more explosions. I growled. Nudge ran up to me and hopped on my shoulders. He swayed for a moment, and then seemed to fuse with me. As a result from the excess darkness, I went darkness-form: The name I had dubbed the form of me when I had the black fighting outfit with the Heartless symbol, as well as the blindfold. I summoned the second Soul-Eater, and faced off with Leon again.
"Chris." He went out of his battle stance. "I really don't think that-"
"Come on!" I retorted. "I need to know."
"All…. All right." Leon charged me. I deflected his gunblade with my two Soul Eaters. I launched myself into a karate kick, which missed, but I used my momentum to rebound off the wall and slam into the ground, creating a dark shockwave. The shockwave slammed into Leon, who recovered quickly, and fired a blast at me with his gunblade, knocking me from my feet. I rolled, and came up on Leon's left. I then sank into the ground, like a shadow heartless, and dashed around Leon. The wall of darkness I inscribed around him stayed there after I surfaced. Then I made the trap close in on him. However, when the wall exploded, Leon stood there, having used a Reflect spell at the last second. In anger, I slammed my swords together, and called on the power of Last Chaos, the dark keyblade. I flew at him. He tried to block my strike, but my animal strength broke his block, and pushed him back. He dodged and ran.
"Chris-"
I started spinning in a sawing motion, overcome with a peculiar bloodlust. But I couldn't kill Leon. He was my friend.
"Wait-"
I grabbed his blade with my darkness covered hand, and wrenched it away. It fell on the other side of the makeshift arena. I then kicked him in the stomach, hurling him to the ground. I reared back for the final blow-
A great weight struck me from behind. I fell over, my dark form falling away from me.
"What-" I groaned. Merlin walked up to me. With a flick of his fingers, he dismissed Leon, who seemed agitated.
"You seem to get carried away in combat." Merlin muttered. "That is not wise when you are fighting your ally."
"No kidding." I sat up, clutching my head. "It was as if I was suddenly overtaken by… something…"
"It was the Heartless." Merlin intoned. "Although Nudge is far more human then other Heartless, and although he means well, he still carries the dormant gene of heartless: the gene for violence. That gene began to manifest in you when you went into your dark form."
"No kidding?" I picked up Nudge, who was shivering, as if scared. "It's all right." I soothed my friend. "It's ok."
"You should keep a tighter leash on your darkness form from now on. It may be necessary to enter it at various points, but prolonged exposure could leave both of your minds at risk of becoming taken over, and then, your heart. You could both become a heartless in truth." He paused to pet Nudge. "I believe Nudge has just seen a side of him that he has never seen before. It has frightened him."
"Yeah." I held him. Then I remembered a question. "Hey Merlin, I have a question."
"Yes?" he intoned.
"I thought Yuffie's name was Yuffie Kisaragi. So why does her headband say Stromwind?"
"Oh, that?" Merlin shook his head. "Her last name was Kisaragi, but after the Cataclysm she changed it to Stromwind. She claimed it seemed more appropriate."
"Why?" I asked, confused. "Kisaragi suits her."
"It had to do with who she was before." Merlin hesitated. "I do not know if I should be the one to tell you of this, but Yuffie wasn't always like this. Before the Cataclysm, she considered herself the most important person in life. She was rude, obnoxious, self-centered, conceited, and obsessed with Materia. When the Cataclysm happened, several of our friends died. There were two deaths that were especially hard on her: her friend Vincent, and a new friend Tidus, who she had met during the Cataclysm." Merlin sighed. "After that, she took one hard, long, look at herself, and she tried to change. She's come a long way, but there are still many who still see the old Yuffie in her. Changing her name was part of the process for her." Merlin smirked. "Although she seems to still harbor a craving for Materia."
"Maybe not." I drew out the Materia she had given me.
"Chris!" Merlin was flabbergasted. "Do you know what this is?!"
"Yeah: the rarest Materia in the worlds." I tapped my foot impatiently. "Worlds were destroyed for just one of these, yadda yadda yadda…" I wished people wouldn't repeat other people. "But you get my point. Maybe Yuffie is changing."
"Chris!" We were interrupted by Rodney calling fro the other room. "Donald and Goofy are ready to leave! Stop dragging your ass!"
"Coming!" I called. I wished Merlin goodbye, grabbed my small bag, now considerably smaller since it was missing the video games, and headed for the door. I tossed the bag to Rodney.
"It's really too bad you aren't coming with us." I felt bad for Rodney, since although it wasn't that fun to fight, I had the feeling that Rodney thought he was missing out on the action, since he had yet to test his powers in a combat situation. "I hope your doing well with your powers."
Rodney grinned. "Well, at least I get to stay here and hit on anime characters!"
"Plus you'll be with your boyfriend!" I needled him. At home, we had always made jokes about how Rodney and C were always hanging out together, to the point that it was like they were a married couple.
"Cut that out!" Rodney grumbled.
"Heh." I chuckled. "Rodney, Just one thing about hitting on anime characters…"
"What?"
"… Never mind." I shouldn't tell him about me and Yuffie.
I walked out to say hi to Donald and Goofy. As much as I wanted to be friends with them, I was never at ease with them. Probably due to the fact that they were a duck and a dog.
"Chris?"
I turned. There, behind me, was Yuffie. I had been privately dreading this moment, partly because I expected her to say something like "it wouldn't work out between us" , and partly because I didn't want to be away from her, but knew I had to.
"Can I…" Yuffie seemed to be searching for the right words. "…talk to you for a moment?"
"Sure." I said nervously. We walked behind the shop, and were completely alone. She took out a small knife.
"Hold out your hand." She instructed. She then made a small slit in her hand.
"Yuffie!" I said, startled. "Don't cut yourself!" WHY IS SHE BEING EMO?!?!?!?!
"Just trust me." She said gently. Taking my hand in hers, she made a tiny slit in in, and allowed the blood to rise up. She then pressed her bleeding cut against my bleeding cut, and allowed our blood to mingle in us both. The rush of strangeness and wonderment upon me was as great as the ecstasy.
"Yuffie…" I whispered.
"Mm?" she responded.
"I wanted to say… I mean…. It's just…" I could feel myself blushing. "It's… I really care about you... and… I think I…" Her eyes widened. "I lo-"
"HEY CHRIS! GET OVER HERE!" I was interrupted.
"I'll tell you when I come back." I promised.
"But wait!" she cried, clutching my arm. "What if you don't come back?! What if I never see you again?"
"I'll come back." I promised. "I'll always come back for you." With that I kissed her forehead and walked into the Gummi Ship, and was carried away into the sky. I looked out the window once, and saw Yuffie looking up at me.
I would come back. Just for her.
As I settled in my seat, one thought entered my mind: Kissing on the forehead is SO overrated. I did a face palm.
* * * * * * *
"I have no idea which world this is." I said, throwing up my hands. "I know every other world by heart, but not this." (Cue music "End of the World" from the Kingdom Hearts original soundtrack)
We were standing on the top of a castle, which I had first guessed to be Beasts Castle, until I remembered that Beast's Castle wasn't in Kingdom Hearts 1.
"This looks like a way down." I pointed towards a hole in the ground. I slid into it, hanging from Goofy's hand.
"Be careful, Chris!" Donald squawked. "There could be Heartless!"
"Its all right: I can reach the floor from here!" I called, opening a dark portal right below me that would let me out on the floor. "Let me go!"
I fell through the portal, and landed on the floor. There were no Heartless, and the place smelled like death itself. "Come on down." I called. "It smells but its safe." I looked at our surroundings. There was clouds of drifting sand at ground level, and there as a single set of human footprints, and many footprints of something much, much, different.
"I think we should follow these footprints." Ashley bent over them. "At least a human is better then whatever made the other prints.
"Heartless, you think?" Goofy asked. "Could be."
"Maybe one of the Heartless that are unique to this world." I frowned. "Come on. Something about this place doesn't feel right. I've never seen it in the game, but it feels too familiar."
We walked down many flights of stairs, so many that I knew without a shadow of a doubt that we were now underground, especially when we stopped seeing windows, and were crossing a darkened storeroom when I heard the sound of growling. The sound was guttural, as if from a throat that was both human and not human. I froze, as did the rest of the group. Then the noise stopped.
"Keep your eyes out." I instructed. I had somehow become leader of the group, since I knew more about the worlds then anyone else. Nudge cowered next to me. It was odd, seeing my little friend afraid. He had always been a pillar of courage in dangerous situations, but here he was… scared.
"Watch your backs." I summoned Soul Eater as we walked out of the courtyard and into a room filled with pillars. There was a symbol on the wall that was so familiar it hurt, but I just couldn't remember… what was this place?
There was more growling from up ahead. I called my second Soul Eater, but refrained from entering darkness from. With a growing sense of dread, I walked silently to the door, motioned my friends to stay back, and in one swift movement opened the door and threw a bolt of darkness into the room where the growling was issuing from. There was a loud roar, then silence, and then the sound in something dragging. There was a barely noticeable yellow flash in the darkness of the room, its torches having been blown out by the dark energy I had channeled into the room. Then I saw a pair of gleaming yellow eves. But they were the wrong shape for Heartless. Then there was another pair of eyes, and another, and more until there were ten pairs of eyes of sin that terrible darkness. A waft of air from the room carried the smell of death. I backed up. Those eyes… the sand… the smell of death… there was a clank of heavy weaponry and armor. Oh god… I was filled with terror that surpassed me. These things… I saw a hand enter the light first. Its skin was mottled gray and black, and it was a hideous mockery of a human hand, with animal claws and ugly bones. Gripped in its hands was a terrible lance.
Pnnnnss…. The creature growled…. Prnnnnnnssss….
"What are they saying?!" I cried as I backed away into the center of the room.
Prinnnnnnssss….. The creature seemed to be trying to say something. Priiiinnnnnssss…
Suddenly, it clicked. The creatures, the sand, the empty castle, the single set of human footprints. And I knew what the creature was saying.
Prrrrriiiiinnnnnceeeee….
Prince.
We had reached the world of the Prince of Persia: the Sands of Time, first video game, when everyone in the huge fortress had been transformed into these demons. However, it was not a part of the Kingdom Hearts universe, although I had added it in many of my fan-fictions. So why was it here?
"Sand Creatures." I said; my mouth was dry from fear. "Neither living nor dead. Incapable of feelings or speech, they are driven by the desire to hunt down and kill anything living. I turned to my friends. "Running won't be much use. These guys can teleport, even if they run at the speed of glue. Somehow, we've got to get away!"
"Why not kill the bastards?" Ashley hissed. "We have our weapons!"
"Only one weapon can destroy these things." I said, wanting to pee in my pants. "The Dagger of Time, Prince's weapon!"
"… which, we don't have!" Goofy got out his shield. "Welp, we'll just have to make the best of it!"
"Our weapons can hurt it…" I said, as I looked at Soul Eater. "Maybe the Keyblade can kill them because of its power. But Donald, me and Goofy..."
"Chris, you can wield a Keyblade!" Donald reprimanded as the Sand Creatures closed in on us. "Do something!"
I grimaced, and fired a bolt of dark energy into the pack of monsters around us. I then manipulated it so that it formed a safe passageway of darkness between the ranks of Sand Creatures. Whew, didn't know if that would work! Well, there's a first time for everything!
"I'm not going dark from unless there's no other option." I muttered. "Come on." I started jogging down the path of Darkness. The creatures couldn't pass the walls of pure blackness, but they could follow our essence. They continued following us as we continued through the castle.
"Look!" Donald pointed to a door way. There were sounds of battle coming from inside there. I quickened my pace into a full out sprint.
"Prince is in there!" I shouted. "Come on!" I summoned both my Soul Eaters, and ran into the room. Inside, a lone young man with a goatee, bare-chested, wielding a deadly sword and a mysterious dagger, and with dangerous eyes, was engaging a group of Sand Creatures in combat.
Sand Creatures… cool name, but inept. They're zombies. Sure, they CALL them sand creatures, but it's just a Persian zombie.
I spun in a circle, unleashing dark energy in a wave that gave the Prince a bit of space, in which I landed back to back with him.
"Need help?" I asked sarcastically, knowing what the answer would be.
"Help wouldn't be so bad." Prince muttered as he slashed into one of the monsters with his dagger, absorbing its sand. I pulled him back towards me.
"Wait here." I instructed him. Then I raised my hands, and black tendrils of darkness flew up fro the ground and gripped each sand monster in an iron grip. Of course, a few on the smarter ones simply teleported out of the maneuver, but most of them stayed put. The ones that escaped were set upon by Ashley, Goofy, Donald, and the Prince. Before long, the last of the monsters evaporated into sand.
"Who are you?" the Prince asked. I stuck out my hand.
"My name's Chris." I said, dismissing my weapons. "The duck is Donald, the girl is Ashley, and the dog is Goofy."
"Hey!" Donald squawked. "We aren't just animals!"
"I am the Prince of Persia." Prince said, shaking my hand. "These things…" he trailed off, as if in a loss to explain.
"Its all right Prince." I said. "We know what you are trying to do."
"Yeah, you've gotta find the hourglass and make this stuff right!" Goofy chuckled.
"I see." The Prince muttered. He seemed thoughtful. "Will you help me or hinder me?"
"Help you, of course!" I said. I looked around. "This place was quite beautiful before it was… well, you know." I sighed. "One thing though: where's Farah?"
"Farah?" Prince looked up sharply. "You know her?"
"Uh, yah." I nodded. "Although she probably doesn't remember me." Another lie, but it was useful…
"Farah," he pointed up, "is at the top of that." I looked up and saw the opening of a well. I realized that we were underground, in a place that looked like a torture chamber. Ahh… I remember this level… Nudge began squeaking excitedly, and Prince drew back his sword to strike.
"Those things!" he yelled. "They are here too! They tried to kill me back at the reservoir."
"No!" I cried and blocked his strike. "I know it's hard to explain, but this one isn't like the others. He saved me from several of his own kind, and kills them when he can!"
"… Hmph…" Prince muttered, and lowered his blade. "You are lucky that you stopped me before I pressed the button." He flipped the dagger towards me. "This dagger-"
"I know what it is." I interrupted. "I have no wish to dwell on it. Its nothing but trouble." I handed it back to him. "I can get us up the well easy enough, but when we get there, we will have to fight more of these creatures." I opened a dark portal to the top of the well. "Shall we?"
We walked through, and out into the sunlight. I was surprised by how far we were along in events. Prince had just escaped the dungeons with our help, had already fallen in love with Farah, and was about to ascend the Great Elevator, where we would encounter the greatest fight in the entire quest. Just my luck…
Farah was being attacked by several Sand Creatures that I had dubbed Big Swords at the far end of the field. I sent my dark tentacles out to meet them. I smiled as they gripped, lifted, and hurled the Sand Monsters down into the abyss that lurked below the bridge to the Tower of Dawn and the Great Elevator. A fall that never ended would ensure that they never troubled the world again, even if they weren't dead.
"Well, that was easy." I muttered to myself, and strode across the field with Prince and the rest of the group to meet Farah.
"Are you all right?" Farah asked Prince. The look of love on their faces was touching. However, the fact that I knew that Farah would eventually betray Prince left a sour taste in my mouth. However, we needed her: for now. We weren't allowed to interfere with the timeline that was set: Farah would betray Prince, and then Prince would find the All-Blade, and avenge Farah's death, and kill the Vizier. Or were we? Maybe we could shorten the journey… after all; Sora interfered with world order in Wonderland, and several other places…
"I'm all right." Prince smiled at her. He then walked up to the pillar of sand that was rotating nearby, and stepped into it. I saw the expression of worry on Farah's face, and tried to comfort her.
"It's all right, Farah." I said in what I hoped was a soothing voice. "Prince isn't in any danger from the sands. They bend to his will, and they can't hurt him in that way." Farah looked at me like I was a weird bug.
"How do you know about him?!" she accused. "You walk with a Heartless! Why should I trust you?"
"Because he saved Prince's life." Ashley came to my defense, putting a hand on my shoulder. "He's a good friend, and a terrible enemy! If he wished you harm, he could have easily destroyed you both by now! He has that great of a power! It's only because of the fact that we need each other to survive that I haven't slapped you for saying that! B****!" (A little harsh?)
"You little-" Farah stopped herself, and instead walked away. She went to Prince's unconscious form, and cradled his head in her lap, stroking his hair, waiting for him to awake. I sat down, Nudge sitting on my shoulder, Ashley beside me, and Donald and Goofy in front of us.
"Why do I get the feeling that I missed something in that little catfight?" I asked Ashley. She shook her head despairingly.
"Men… they never get it." She sighed in frustration. "Farah probably thinks that I'm a potential rival for Prince, and thinks that I'm going to steal him away. And Nudge doesn't help." She patted Nudge as he looked downcast. "Its okay though: we know your really nice." She petted him, and Nudge traded spots for Ashley's lap as she caressed him. "Farah is too stupid to notice that I don't know Prince, and the only person I would even be remotely interested in here-" she stopped herself, and looked behind me, and flicked out her keyblade. It took the head off of a heartless.
"Stay with Prince!" I called to Farah, who looked up in alarm. "We'll take care of these!"
We spread out around Farah and the still unconscious Prince, in a poise for combat. I then called up a wave of darkness to push the heartless back. It had the desired effect, and I and Nudge ran into the group, doing our combination move. However, the Heartless suddenly swarmed, and combined together to form a giant Heartless.
A pureblood heartless! I thought frantically. It had become a Darkside. Ashley ran at it, but was swatted away by it's massive hands. Donald and Goofy suffered the same fate. Huh. Serves them right. They don't know how it moves. I however, have played KH1 a million times…
Nudge ran forwards, unleashed some black lightning upon the giant heartless, and I leaped under the deluge to slice at the figure. When I passed it, Nudge came by it in a flash, and used me as a rebound to the eye of the Darkside. I used my momentum, to keep moving and fire a bolt of black lightning at the target, and then rebounded off a wall and landed next to Nudge. Nudge then charged a ball of pure dark energy above it, channeling all his power into the huge ball. I then stood behind it, added a bit of my own power, and blasted it forwards in a deadly ramming move. It completely obliterated the legs of the creature, and the Darkside pitched forwards. I then took that opportunity to stab it's head with my Soul Eater. One giant Heartless down… any amount to go. I dismissed my weapons, and took out the Cure Materia. I rolled it on Ashley's forehead, and she came awake with a flutter. I then realized I was bending over her, as if about to kiss her. I stood abruptly. Why is she looking at me like that?
"Ugh… what happened?" Prince came awake. Then he noticed where he was, and leaped back from Farah.
"Its all right." Farah soothed. "Its me… Its me." She placed her hand on Princes cheek.
The Prince seemed to recover his composure. After the usual explanations of events, we started walking towards the Elevator. There was a small fight with a group of Heartless/Sand infected birds, but we got through all right.
"Be careful!" Prince called to Farah as she pulled a lever that turned on the elevator.
"Why?" she laughed. "Not everything is a trap, you know."
We entered the elevator, and began ascending. I nodded to my friends, and we took up combat positions.
"What are you doing?" Prince asked. I merely told his to draw his sword.
Many sand creatures appeared around us, some of them also bearing Heartless traits. Well, it seems that some Sand Creatures can become infested with darkness too.
"Like Farah said." I said sarcastically, as I went back-to-back with Prince in the center of the gigantic elevator, "not everything is a trap."
Well that was epic… no one guessed that the prince of Persia would come into this! Oh well, its still pretty epic. Plus... well… whatever… Review!
