Comrades, stand to attention! I return with a new chapter of Chains of Destiny – The Keyblade's Chosen Ones.
It's about time I update this story – the last update was exactly on May 26! Woah! That was a very long time. I'm just going to ignore it and move on with the main story itself.
Last time – Maka and Sora have just met in the Second District of Traverse Town and they join forces to find their friends. However, they are ambushed by two people – a man called Leon and a girl called Weiss. Despite their best efforts, Maka and Sora have fallen. What's going to happen? Stick around and find out.
I don't own Kingdom Hearts nor Soul Eater, nor Final Fantasy, nor RWBY – they are owned by Square Enix and Rooster Teeth.
Let's get started!
Chapter 6 – Heroes Meeting and Start of a Journey!
"Wake up! Hey, wake up!" An unknown voice said which awoke Maka completely. She opened her eyes and noticed that she was in some kind of hotel room. Then, her eyes directly fell onto Sora who was currently sleeping next to her.
"Oh, Sora… Thank goodness, you're okay." Maka said with a relieved sigh.
"Are you okay?" Maka turned around to see the same young girl with white hair who attacked them earlier with that other man.
"You! Why did you hurt me and Sora? And where are we anyway?" Maka demanded as she looked at her with a glare on her face.
"Please, we didn't mean any trouble. I apologize for the way me and my partner attacked you, but we had to get the Keyblade away from you. You see, those creatures that attacked you are after your heart, due to you wielding the most powerful weapon in the universe. Same applies for your little friend. Don't worry. This is the safest place in all of Traverse Town." The girl explained.
"Can you tell me what those creatures are exactly? And what is the Keyblade?" Maka asked.
"Well-" The girl began, but was cut off by another female voice. "Hey, you're awake at last!"
Maka looked over the white-haired girl's shoulder to see another female with short black hair and blue-grey eyes walking towards the unconscious Sora.
"Come on, you lazy bum. Wake up." The other girl said and Sora started waking up. Maka giggled at the words directed to Sora - "lazy bum".
"You okay?" The girl asked him.
"I guess…" Sora replied.
"Those creatures that attacked you are after the Keyblade. But it's your heart they really want, because you wield the Keyblade." The girl explained to him.
"I'm so glad that you're okay, Kairi." Sora said.
When Maka heard the name 'Kairi' once again, jealously took over her entire body once more. "Again with this KAIRI? Does he even care about her? More importantly, how close is she to him? Wait. Wait. Wait. What am I doing? I've never met this Riku or this Kairi before and I've only met Sora recently. So… Why do I feel this way whenever he mentions her name?" Maka thought to herself.
"Kairi? Who are you talking about?" The girl's voice interrupted Maka's thoughts.
"I'm the great ninja Yuffie." The girl called Yuffie introduced herself to Sora and Maka couldn't help, but sigh in relief. "Oh, thank god... He must have imagined Yuffie to be his friend Kairi. I don't know why, but that makes me so happy… Wait, what!? Why does that make me happy? I haven't even met her yet... Why? Why am I think about this now!?" Maka shook her head furiously.
"I think you might have overdone it, Squally." Yuffie said with a grin on her face as the same man that attacked Maka and Sora earlier walked in.
"Yuffie, don't call me Squally. The name is Leon now." The man called Leon said.
"Leon or not. You are still going to be known as Squally by both me and Yuffie!" Another voice said. Maka looked to see a girl with shoulder-length black hair and silver eyes walking into the room with a smile on her face. Leon just face palmed.
"Maka! You're okay!" Maka turned to see a smiling Sora looking at her.
"Yep, good as new. Are you okay?" Maka asked and he nodded.
"I'm fine. Actually, I was worried a lot more about you than me." Sora said to her.
Maka's eyes widen at his comment. He was… worried about her…? "He… he was worried about me? Wow… I… I don't know what to say to him right now." She thought to herself.
She turned around to see her key weapon leaning on the wall. "The Keyblade…" Maka said.
"Yes, we had to get yours and the boy's Keyblade away from you. Right, Weiss?" Yuffie asked the white-haired girl called Weiss.
"Yes. It turns out that's how the creatures were tracking you two." Weiss told them.
"It was the only way to conceal your heart from them. But it won't work for long." Leon said as he picked up both Maka and Sora's Keyblades. "Still hard to believe that you two of all people are the chosen ones." He said.
Suddenly, in a flash of light the two Keyblades disappeared from Leon's hands – Sora got his Keyblade back and Maka got her Keyblade back as well.
"Wow." Sora said.
"Yeah." Maka said.
"Well, I suppose beggars can't be choosers." Leon said to them.
"Why don't you start making sense?" Sora demanded with a glare.
"Yeah, we want to know what's going on! So, tell us!" Maka demanded with a glare as well.
Meanwhile in the next room…
"Okay, you know there are many worlds out there besides your castle, Fiore and this town, right?" Aerith asked, whilst sitting on the end of the bed next to the black-haired girl Blake addressing Lucy, Levy, Goofy and Donald.
"Yeah." Donald said.
"But they're supposed to be a secret." Goofy said as he covered his mouth.
"Yes, they've been a secret because they were never connected. Until now." Blake explained.
"What do you mean by that?" Lucy asked them.
"When the Heartless came, everything changed." Aerith said.
Meanwhile…
"The Heartless?" Sora asked.
"Yes. The creatures that attacked you." Weiss said.
"The unholy creatures from Hell that don't have hearts." Ruby said.
"The darkness in people's hearts – that's what attracts them." Yuffie said.
"And there is darkness within every heart." Leon said.
Yuffie looked at them both and asked. "Hey, have you heard of someone named Ansem?"
Meanwhile…
"Ansem?" Goofy asked.
"He was studying the Heartless. He recorded all of his findings in a very detailed report." Aerith explained while Donald crosses his arms and taps his foot.
"Gawrsh, uh, can we see it?" Goofy asked.
Aerith shook her head sadly and said. "It's pages are scattered everywhere."
"Scattered?" Levy asked.
"To many worlds." Blake said.
"Oh, then maybe the king went to find 'em." Goofy suggested and Donald nodded.
"I bet Master Makarov went to find them as well." Lucy suggested and Levy nodded.
"Yes, those are our thoughts exactly." Aerith said.
"We've got to find them quickly!" Goofy said.
"Wait!" Donald said, as he pulled down the screen towards him. "First, we need to find those "keys"!" He said.
"That's right. The Keyblades." Aerith said.
Meanwhile…
"So these are the keys?" Maka asked as she looked at her Keyblade and Sora's.
"Exactly!" Yuffie said.
"The Heartless have great fear of the Keyblade." Weiss said.
"That's why they'll keep coming after you no matter what." Leon said.
"Well, I didn't ask for this." Sora said.
"Me too." Maka said.
"The Keyblades choose their masters. And they choose you two." Ruby said, as she pointed at Maka and Sora.
"So tough luck." Leon said as he leaned against the door.
"How did this happen? I remember being in my room…" He stopped talking and realized something. "Wait a minute! What happened to my home? My island? Riku! Kairi!"
Maka realized in horror something as well. "Yeah, what about my home? Death City? My friends?" She said.
"You know what? I really don't know." Leon said.
Maka closed her eyes and tears started coming out. Everything just… She couldn't believe it… Why? Why!? Why did it have to be her!? Her friends and family could be dead! Her home might be gone for good! And Tsubaki…
Suddenly, she felt something warm grab her. Maka opened her eyes and looked to see Sora hugging her much to her shock.
"Maka…" Sora whispered in her ear. "Don't cry. We'll find a way to save your home, mine as well. You can trust me. I'll be here to protect you – my good friend." He finished whispering.
Maka couldn't help, but smile at him. "Oh, Sora… Thank you… Thanks… As your friend, I will protect you. I promise you. Okay, I trust you. We'll find a way to save our home worlds and we'll do it together." She thought to herself.
They let go of each other and smiled.
"So, what do we do now?" Maka asked as she looked at Yuffie.
"Well, I've heard that the Keyblade can open all sorts of locks! You should give it a try next time you find a treasure chest or a lock!" Yuffie said and both of them nodded.
They got up from their bed and started walking towards Leon.
"Sooner or later, the Heartless will find you two. You'd best prepare yourselves." He said.
"Prepare ourselves?" Maka asked him confusingly.
"To fight for your life. I want you two to stay very closely and work together. Are you two ready to begin?" Leon asked them.
"I'm ready. Maka?" Sora said, as he looked at her.
"Yes, I'm ready as well." Maka said as well.
"Alright. Let's go see Aerith and Blake. They should be with the other visitors from Fiore and the castle." Weiss said.
"Leon! Weiss!" Yuffie pointed to the other end of the room where a soldier Heartless appeared.
"Yuffie! Ruby, go!" Weiss yelled, as she and Leon ran forward.
The girls ran into the next room where Blake, Aerith, Lucy, Levy, Donald and Goofy were.
"Yuffie?" Aerith said seriously as she ran after her.
"Ruby?" Blake said seriously as she ran after her as well.
"Maka, Sora, Let's go!" Leon said, as he and Weiss took out their own weapons while Maka and Sora took out their Keyblades.
Leon slammed the Soldier Heartless through the window and jumped downwards followed by Weiss, Sora and Maka.
Meanwhile in the other room, Goofy, Lucy and Levy opened the door to see Donald getting flattened against the wall due to Ruby and Yuffie opening the door without knowing that Donald was there. Lucy and Levy giggled at the duck wizard who became a pancake on the wall.
In the Alleyway Sora, Maka, Leon and Weiss continued fighting the Heartless.
"Don't bother with the small fry." Leon said to them.
"Find the leader!" Weiss said and they nodded.
"Let's go! And remember to work together!" Leon said, as he and Weiss started running towards the doors leading to the First District.
"Ready?" Sora asked Maka.
"Let's do this!" Maka said and both of them started running and fighting their way towards the Third District. Heartless, everywhere! Maka and Sora just ignored them and ran straight towards the doors leading to the Second District. Again, Soldier Heartless were everywhere! Maka and Sora decided to fight some of them and in the end they won the battle, but not the full war. Eventually, they reached the doors leading to the Third District and entered it.
Meanwhile on a high balcony in the Third District, Goofy was watching two kids – a boy and a girl walking down the stairs into the square. He turned his attention back to his own group and noticed that a Soldier Heartless had appeared before them. He took out his shield with a mouse head in the middle.
"Gawrsh, are these the Heartless guys?" Goofy asked.
"Yep, it's the Heartless." Lucy said as she took out her whip.
"Alright, let's do this!" Levy said as she got into a fighting stance.
"Yeah, get ready for a fight Heartless!" Donald said as he took out his staff.
A minute later, a loud explosion occurred and the four were blasted off the balcony. On the ground, the boy and the girl noticed that Lucy, Levy, Goofy and Donald were falling down. The two tried to run, but it was no use – Donald and Goofy landed on the boy, while Lucy and Levy landed on the girl.
"Oh, boy…" Lucy said with spinning eyes.
"Let's not do that again…" Levy said with spinning eyes as well.
"Added to the list." Donald said with stars on his head.
"Gawrsh…" Goofy said with stars on his head as well.
Lucy, Levy, Donald and Goofy then noticed something in the boy and the girl's hands – It was…
"The keys! We found them!" The four yelled.
Suddenly, something started to shake. They got up very quickly and looked around.
"An earthquake?" The boy suggested.
"No. Something is coming…" The girl suggested.
Large pillars started coming from the ground and covered all of the exits. Just then, Soldier Heartless appeared, so the group got into fighting stances and prepared for the battle against their enemies.
"Guess our only option is to fight, right Sora?" The girl asked the boy called Sora.
"Yep, let's do this Maka!" Sora said to the girl called Maka.
"Count us in as well!" Lucy said as she took out her whip and Levy got into a fighting position.
"So are we!" Donald said, as he took out his staff while Goofy took out his shield.
The Soldier Heartless began to attack the group, however Maka and Sora slashed them all with their Keyblades. Meanwhile, Lucy was slashing them all with her whip while Levy was administering her own punches from her two fists and from her legs. Donald shot some fireballs from his staff while Goofy bashed them with his shield. This fight continued for more than a few minutes until they finally defeated the last Soldier Heartless.
"That was just the easy part. The hard part is coming." Sora said to which Maka nodded.
"I agree with Sora. Keep your guard up." Maka said and the rest of them nodded.
Just then, they all looked up to the sky and to their shock – they saw purple hands and feet falling from the sky, a purple body appears as well. They assembled together and a head fell from the sky which landed on the body. It spins its head and arms before advancing towards the trio. The hands began to attack the group and harmed them for a little while until Maka and Sora blocked it with their Keyblades.
However, the hands got free and immediately start spinning around and attack the group. Goofy managed to block most of the attack with his shield, Donald on the other hand was not so lucky and got knocked out in just one hit from the arms. Meanwhile, Lucy and Levy were trying their best to deliver a couple of hits to the main body, but unfortunately – Lucy's whip was not working against the armor and Levy's punches were not effective enough to even hit it.
Deciding that enough was enough, Levy performed a strange gesture with her two hands and said. "Fireball!" – In the air, the word "Fireball" appeared and launched towards the armor. Soon, the hands connected to the body once again. The armor got mad and began to stomp around the battlefield using its legs. This was the chance that Maka and Sora were looking for! They unleashed a couple of deadly hits with their Keyblades on the armor and soon the parts disconnected. It landed on the ground, but the best part was it couldn't get up!
"Now's our chance! Let's finish this!" Maka said and the group started charging on the armor.
Maka, Lucy and Levy decided to finish the legs first and after a couple of hits from Maka's Keyblade, Lucy's Whip and Levy's fist – the legs were gone for good! In the meantime, Sora and his group had finally beaten the arms with a good use of magic, bashing and Keyblade strikes. All that was left was the main body.
However, the main body got up and started spinning around the battlefield which knocked everybody, except Maka and Sora. They had blocked the spinning attack just in time and then they started delivering a couple of hits with their Keyblades. This continued on for a few minutes, until both Maka and Sora launched in the air and delivered the final strike on the purple armor.
"Maka, now!" Sora said.
"Alright!" Maka said.
The two of them slashed the body together. The armor couldn't take much more damage, so it began to shake along with the whole area around it. Eventually, the head fell off from the body and a glowing heart appeared from the torso. It disappeared into the air along with entire body.
A little later…
"So, you were looking for us?" Sora asked the group in front of them.
"Yep, that's right!" Lucy said, to which Levy, Donald and Goofy nodded.
"They, too, have been seeking the wielders of the Keyblades." Leon said, as both he and Weiss arrived.
"Hey, why don't you come with us? We can go to other worlds on our vessel." Goofy said.
"I wonder if I can find Riku and Kairi…" Sora said while hanging his head down.
"Yeah, I wonder if I can find my friends as well…" Maka said while hanging her head down.
"Of course." Donald said.
"You can count on us!" Levy said.
Maka and Sora looked up at them.
"Are you sure?" Goofy asked him quietly.
"Who knows? But we need them to come with us to help us find the king and Master Makarov." Donald said quietly to Goofy.
Lucy overheard the duck's little conversation and was very angry to hear that instead of helping Sora and Maka find their friends, they were going to search for Master Makarov and King Mickey only. No way! That was not going to happen!
"Levy, we're changing plans." Lucy said quietly to her.
"What do you mean?" Levy asked her quietly.
"Donald only cares about finding Master Makarov and King Mickey, he doesn't care if we find Sora or Maka's friends." Lucy said to her which shocked Levy completely.
"What a selfish duck! That's not the way we do things in Fairy Tail! You're damn right, Lucy that we are changing our plans completely!" Levy said to her quietly.
"Then it's decided. We're going to find their friends. Then we'll save the universe together." Lucy said to which Levy nodded. They turned their attention back to Sora and his group.
Leon stepped forward and said. "Sora, Maka, go with them. Especially if you want to find your friends."
"Yeah, I guess." Sora said.
"Okay." Maka said
"But neither of you can't come along looking like that. Understand?" Donald said.
"No frowning. No sad faces. Okay?" Lucy said.
"Yeah, ya gotta look funny, like us!" Goofy said, but was pushed away by Donald.
"This boat runs on happy faces." Donald explained.
"So does ours." Levy said.
"Happy?" Sora asked to which Donald, Goofy, Lucy and Levy all smile at them.
Sora and Maka raise their head and make the best smiles that they could, but they get no response whatsoever from their audience and so they frown.
Immediately after that, Donald, Goofy, Lucy and Levy all start laughing.
"Now that's one killer face!" Lucy said with a laugh.
"You are telling me, Lucy!" Levy laughed.
"That's one funny face!" Goofy laughed as he pointed towards Maka and Sora's stupid grins.
"So, are you coming with us?" Donald asked as he finished laughing.
"Alright, I'm coming along for the ride." Maka said with a grin.
"Count me in as well!" Sora said with a smile.
"Donald Duck." Donald introduced himself.
"Name's Goofy." Goofy introduced himself.
"Name's Sora." Sora introduced himself.
"I'm Lucy Heartfilia." Lucy introduced herself.
"I'm Levy McGarden." Levy introduced herself.
"And finally – I'm Maka Albarn. Pleasure to meet all of you." Maka introduced herself.
They all took out their hands and placed them together. "All for one, one for all." Goofy said.
Meanwhile in a dark castle…
Somewhere in a very dark place, a group with equally dark intensions were gazing at the image of the group that was currently talking to themselves in Traverse Town.
"Those little squirts took down that Heartless! Who'd have thought of it? What's worse – the girl who is wielding the Keyblade is the daughter of that wretched bitch Kami Albarn! We're so screwed!" A mysterious voice said with an irritated tone.
"Yes, Kami Albarn's daughter will be most troublesome. However, the children's strength are not their own. This is the work of the Keyblade." A mysterious voice said with a sinister tone.
"Indeed. Maka Albarn will pay for what she did to me back in Death City! That bitch killed me with her little scythe and now it's time for a little payback! My snakes will enjoy corrupting her little body!" A mysterious female voice said with an evil smile on her face.
"I've got a better idea – why don't we turn them into Heartless? That will settle things quick enough." Another mysterious female voice said with a laugh.
"Not yet. We need the girl and the boy alive for a couple of experiments…" Another voice said which sounded just like an evil scientist.
"And the brats' friends are the King and the Master's lackeys. Swoggle me eyes, they're all bilge rats by the look of them." Another voice said which sounded just like a pirate's voice.
"You're no prize yourself." Another voice said which sounded very cocky.
"Shut up!" The voice of the pirate said.
"Enough!" A new female voice said.
"Cease your pathetic childish bullshit!" A new male voice said.
They all looked to see two people looking at the hologram – one was a man while the other was a woman.
The man had slanted, dark-green eyes and bright, long, orange hair, with long bangs covering his right eye. He was wearing a black bowler hat with a red band and a small feather, red-lined white suit and a small grey scarf. He also had black gloves with rounded sleeves, as well as long black pants and black shoes. He had a cigar in his mouth and in his hands he was holding a cane.
"What do you think, my dear Maleficent?" The man asked the woman called Maleficent with a smile on his face.
She had fair, green skin and shining yellow eyes while her lips were painted red. Her head was topped with a black-horned headdress. She wore a long, tattered black robe with a purple trim and maroon edges which flare out. She was carrying a cane with a glowing green orb at the tip.
"Well, my dear Roman. It seems that thing are about to get a little interesting for all of us. The Keyblades have chosen them – Will it be they who conquers the darkness? Or will the darkness swallow them? Either way, they could be quite useful. Especially, the daughter of my dear old enemy Kami Albarn..." Maleficent said with a dark smile on her face.
Meanwhile in Traverse Town…
Leon, Weiss, Ruby, Yuffie, Aerith and Blake gathered in front of the group.
"Make sure you're prepared for the journey ahead of you." Leon said.
"We don't know exactly how far the Heartless have spread." Weiss said.
"Check out the shops here. They've got some pretty neat stuff!" Yuffie said.
"This is from all of us." Aerith said as she handed the group 500 munny.
"Spend it as you see fit." Blake said.
"Good luck!" Ruby said.
"We hope you find your friends." Aerith said.
"Look out for each other." Leon said.
"And keep your spirits up." Weiss said and they all left.
"The Gummi Ship is outside that gate." Donald said.
"The what?" Sora asked.
"That's our ship." Donald said.
"Wait 'til you see it!" Goofy said.
"We also have a Gummi Ship of our own." Lucy said.
"Can't wait to see it!" Maka said.
"Hold on. Sora, Maka this is for you." Donald said as he handed the fire spell to both Sora and Maka. "Now you two can use magic." He explained.
"Cool!" Sora exclaimed.
"Sweet! I always wanted to be a wizard." Maka said with a grin.
"Also, here is something else from us." Lucy said and then gave something to both Maka and Sora. "This is the Dodge Roll ability. You can dodge the enemy's attacks very easily. I'm sure there more abilities to find on other worlds."
"I bet they are!" Maka said with a smile.
"So, we ready to go?" Sora asked and all of them nodded.
"Well, I see big adventures coming their way! Looks like it's up to me to keep track of it all in my journal!" Jiminy said to himself, as he was looking towards the group.
"Alright, before we leave. Let's agree on something – Maka will be riding with Lucy and me. While Sora rides with Donald and Goofy. That sound good?" Levy asked.
"I can agree on that." Sora said.
"Me too! Alright, let's get moving!" Maka said and all of them started making their way towards the gate.
Damn, finally! Done with Chapter 6! Shit, this took way longer than expected…
Also, to answer the unknown guest's question – Yes, Death the Kid will appear with Liz and Patty, but in the second game's story. Also, Yang will appear, but I'm going to make her appear in the world after Wonderland. Also, Team JNPR will appear in the second game's story. With Beacon Academy and Ozpin.
At last, we can finally leave Traverse Town behind and move on with the main journey itself. What will happen? Will Maka and Sora find their friends? Will Maleficent and Roman achieve victory? Will Donald always be a nuisance like he is in the first game? Find out, next time on Chapter 7 of Chains of Destiny!
Leaving you, right now! Enjoy this amazing chapter update from me! Also, don't be shy to tell me this – Did I do a good job in the battle against the Guard Armor and the Soldier Heartless? – Important!
See you in Chapter 7! Bye!
