Metamorphosis
Hi everyone! *bounces around the computer* I've just read my new reviews, and I'm so happy that y'all like it! Look: ^_^. That's why this chapter's up that early.
Special note for Quistis30: One of my favorite characters is Pocahontas, but I do like John Smith too. I do also think that it's a shame they weren't in the game ^_^ I simply love that scene in the movie... Oh, and my idea is puuuure evil, involving a certain spikyhaired person. *Giggles* nah, it's more funny than evil, involving a few guest characters too -just wait and you'll see.
Special note for SSJ4 Sailor Menz: *giggles* I just as exited as you are *bounce, bounce, hehee this is fun!* I'm quite sure I know how Riku and Kairi will react, but I'm still a bit doubtful. I'm sorry that Sora turns back to a boy every night before the first day in every month, but I need him to be a boy sometimes, and I need the pain he gets when he's transforming *evil laughter* -you'll find out what I mean in this chapter. I think I'll let Sora fight with the thought of being a girl, untill. no, I won't tell. But it'll be for a while... ^_^
Oho! There's going to be some blood now *licks my lips *.
Chapter nine. You are the source of all heartless.
"I think I won, right?" Sora asked while shoving all the munnys into a large bag.
The men pulled out their pistols "yeah, you won" one of them said "give us the money, or we'll separate your pretty head from the rest of your body".
Soras sunkissed skin turned pale in one instant at the sight of the gun, but then she laughed, "That's easier said than done. Come on, give it a try. Shoot me".
The men starred confused at her. The youngest of them yelled "fine!" and fired.
"You all need a diet! Gravigora!" she shouted. (A/N: ^_^ sorry about that line, but that's what I yell when I cast Graviga on Fat Bandits. I couldn't help myself.) A large, black orb surrounded the men and the bullet. The bullet dropped directly to the ground, and the men turned as flat as pancakes.
Sora panted, but smiled at the result. If the spell worked correctly they wouldn't turn normal until about half an hour. /thank goodness I studied spells in the Disney Castle/.
Every man in the room (except the Grivagora-cursed men, because they couldn't move) fled as fast as they could out of the room. Sora grabbed her stuff and rushed out of the door.
She kept running, until she couldn't see the inn behind her. She leaned against an old oak, trying to catch her breath. She sighed "that was close. but now I've got plenty of Munny" she smiled brightly "Yay! I can buy a new dress!" her eyes grew wide and she wrapped her hands around her mouth. She counted to ten, before she let go "that was girly! Ok, Sora, don't ever drink beer again!".
She started to walk again. A small glimmer of light far out in the horizon told her dawn was coming. She kept walking for hours until she reached the spot where the paths split into five paths. /Okay, the first one leads to London, the second to uhm,. Spira! The rest was. Traverse Town, Hollow City and uh.. Middle Midgar-something. But which of the worlds is the present world? Please, Will, if you can hear me, help!/ she looked around with a lost expression.
~*~
Will watched Kairi and Riku eat their breakfast. Riku frowned a bit /I've never seen him eat anything/. Suddenly Will jumped and covered his ears with his hand "calm down, Sora! I can hear you even if you're not yelling!".
Kairi starred at him, like he was crazy, but Riku pulled one hand away from an ear to talk to Will "where is Sora?".
Will just turned his head to look at him "what's the name of this city?"
"Huh?" Riku raised an eyebrow.
"Hollow City" said Kairi "why?".
"Thanks" Will said. The frown on his face showed them that he was concentrated. Finally, after a moment of silence Will sighed in relief and looked at Riku "Sora's near".
"How do you know that? Did he told you?" Riku asked.
"Yes" Will answered.
"How?" Kairi asked.
"Telepathy" Will answered.
"But why is he so late? He should've been here yesterday" Riku said.
"If you were wounded, wouldn't you be slower too?" Will murmured.
"What? He's wounded!?" Riku yelled while he grabbed Will by the collar, lifted him up and violently shoke him "how could that happen?!".
"I think it's my fault" Kairi said weakly. She showed them a glowing green orb "I've got all his abilities.he let me borrow them".
Kairi was sure that Will blinked as much as Riku behind his sunglasses. Riku dropped both his mouth and Will. Will landed on the floor as gracefully as a cat.
"We must find him! He's in danger, and everything is my fault" Riku said.
"No, everything is my fault" both Kairi and Will said. They looked at each other and laughed.
"Sora's fine now, and hasn't been attacked today" Will said.
"He just hasn't been attacked yet. We should go get him" Riku said.
"I don't think it's a good idea, Riku" Kairi said "maybe he'll think that we don't think he can do anything by himself"
Will nodded in agreement.
"That's ridiculus" Riku said and went out to the hall to get his raincoat "I'll get him. If you don't wanna' come with me, then it's fine!".
"Riku, I think the best thing to do is to buy potions and other remedys today" Will said "so we can heal him emidiatly when he gets here" Riku glared stubbornly at Will, knowing that it would be the best thing to do, but not willing to give up that easy.
"If I promise that if Sora isn't here by sunset tomorrow, then we'll go searching?" Will asked.
Riku sighed "okay -but you promise".
"Scouts honour!" Will lay a hand on the left side of his chest.
"I didn't know you were a scout" Riku growled. Kairi giggled.
"You know what I mean" Will said.
~*~
At noon Sora stopped at the first climpable tree a few feet away from the road. She climped up to a big branch, and ate her lunch.
Realizing she hadn't slept much she yawned / I guess a little nap won't hurt anyone/ she leaned against the stem with her hands folded behind her head.
She closed her eyes, listening to the birds and the wind blowing in the leafs. Despite the lower temperature and the birds were not seagulls, but sparrows, it reminded her of Destiny Islands.
Everything seemed to be calm and peaceful, it was hard to imagine that as soon as the sun was set, it would swarm with heartless.
/It's strange they only appears at night/ was her last thought before she fell asleep.
~*~
Sora woke up some hours later. She felt as fit as a fiddle, and jumped from her branch to the ground with a wide smile.
She opened her backpack to change her clothes. Searching after the white cotton shorts and t-shirt Mickey gave her, her hands suddenly touched something nice and smooth at the bottom of the bag.
Curious, she slowly pulled out the item. It was such a familiar scarlet color it had. She looked closer at the object, and realized it was her old wetsuit (I don't actually know what that red suit-thingie Sora's wearing in the game's called!) but somehow, it was bigger.
Quickly she undressed to her undergarments, unzipped the long zipper on the suit, and pulled it on. She let out a small squeal of happiness when she'd found out that it fitted her (actually, it was too big because she was so skinny).
She rummaged in her backpack to see if her shortsleeved Black/white jacket was in it too. It was, and she pulled it on, but when she wanted to zip it, she spotted something square bulge out from her pocket.
She pulled it out. It was a small box. She opened it, and found her crown necklace, her pocket chain and a little note.
She read the little note.
~ A gift from your brother. He thought that you loved that outfit. Good luck, I'll be coming as soon as possible. -Mickey Mouse~
She smiled, and put on the necklace and chain. Hoping that she would meet her friends soon, she went on with her journey.
~*~
The next day, Riku walked back and forth, too worried to stand still. He glared at his friends, who were lying on the couch, watching Tv.
With a bored expression, Will zapped with the remote. Kairi yawed.
"We've done this all day! And this house is a mess!" Riku said and pointed towards the bowls of snacks that was lying on the table and on the floor.
"And?" Kairi said with her mouth full of potato chips.
"We need to clean up for Soras sake!" Riku said.
"Aww, how cute. He said 'Soras sake'" Will teased and Kairi giggled.
"Just shut up and help me" Riku shot them a death glare.
~*~
Sora panted while she ran up the hill. She'd been attacked by a Behemoth from behind, and had defeated it just barely. More and more heartless were coming.
She sliced trough a neo shadow, and kept running. She smiled in triumph when she saw the heartless was retreating, but still she kept trying to reach the top of the hill.
The sun began to go down, and she quickly drank a m-potion. Raindrops fell from the sky and plopped down on Soras nose while transforming. He sneezed and decided to put on his raincoat. He ran up the now muddy hill. Sometimes he slipped, but soon he'd reached the top.
He gasped, not because of the tall buildings up ahead, but because of the hooded figure that stood right in front of him.
/Oh, no, not again!/ he thought.
The man walked straight through him, and he got a flash of painful memories. Sora gasped and fell onto his back.
'I see you are complete now' the hooded man said (still with his mental voice). 'Now is the time for me to take the most ultimate weapon of all' he lifted one of his black-gloved hands, pointing at the direction of Soras heart.
Sora cried out in pain. His skin cracked open, the crimson blood trickled downwards his chest, dropping heavily to the ground and blended with the pools of rain. Then he saw the reddish flash of light that was his heart.
The hooded man withdrew his now clenched fist, trying to tore Soras heart away from the rest of his body with his spell.
"No!" Sora clenched protectively his chest with his hands "there's no way you're gettin' my heart!"
The man laughed while he pulled out a very sharp sword. 'Have it your way' he charged at him.
Sora drew his keyblade and dodged the attack, but the hooded man kept pressing his sword against Soras weapon. Sora gathered his strength and pushed the man away.
The man stumbled backwards, and Sora swung the keyblade, leaving a deep cut on the enemys shoulder.
The man healed his deep wound with a blue flash of light. Sora jumped, wanting to attack from the mid-air, but the man rolled to one side. He swung his sword and damaged Soras leg.
Sora slipped a hand down in his pocket, withdrawing a hi-potion. Quickly he oppened the bottle, and brought it to his lips. 'You don't need that' the hooded man grabbed his wrist, causing Sora to drop the potion.
"Gravigora!" Sora yelled. The familiar black orb appeared, but it disappeared again with an irritated wave from the foes hand 'how weakly' the man mocked.
Sora stared in disbelief, and was too slow to realize that the man charged again. The man made a deep cut on his right arm and then kicked it afterwards, causing him to drop the keyblade, and the arm to break with a loud crack.
A tear fell from his eyes. He picked up his keyblade with pure hate glowing in his normally innocent eyes. Sora attacked, but the hooded man dodged easily.
The fight went on to what seemed like hours, neither of them wanting to surrender. Sora felt more and more exhausted, but finally it seemed like he'd got the upper hand. A final blow sent his enemy to the ground.
Sora dematerialized his keyblade. He panted heavily while he moved closer to the defeated opponent, wanting to see the face behind the hood.
Slowly, he knelt down, his hand shivered a bit when he tried to reach the hood.
A hand quickly grabbed his neck, and lifted him up with his legs dangling a few inches from the ground. Sora starred right into the black hood.
'You thought you had beaten me?' the hooded man said coldly while squeezing harder on Soras neck, making it even harder to breathe.
Soras eyes widened and he struggled against the firm grip. /No! I can't die yet! Not before I've met Riku, Kairi and Will one more time../ the hooded man pulled out a dagger and Sora squeezed his eyes shut /Will help me!/
~*~
Riku kept running down the dark streets, searching for Sora. He had a hi- potion in his left hand, ready to be opened as soon as he found his wounded friend.
"If you're dead, Sora, I'm gonna' bring you to live and then I'll kill you!" he hissed through clenched teeth. He knew that Will was just as worried as he was, Will couldn't fool him by acting like he didn't care. Together, they'd convinced Kairi that it was better for her to stay at home and finish cleaning up.
Riku cursed himself under his breathe for start searching later than after the sun had set.
Deciding it would be much easier to find Sora, he and Will split, Will looked in the eastern and northern part of the city, while Riku was looking in the western and southern part. He'd been searching, and still he hadn't any clue where Sora was.
He got to the end of the street and stopped. He'd apparently ended up the outskirts of the city, since there was a grassy hill, surrounded by green fields, up ahead. The fist rays of sunlight hit the hill, almost letting it look like one of the two persons on the hill was glowing. He gasped when he saw that one of them actually 'was' glowing, and the other one tried to suffocate the glowing person.
~*~
Sora groaned in his pain while he transformed. He just wished this was a nightmare and it would end soon. When it did, he would be back on Destiny Islands, woken up by Kairi, just before they took the raft. And then he would convince his best friends it was better to stay on the island.
But the pain and the dagger resting on the left side of his neck was bitter reality. The transforming ended. She stopped struggling, just hanging limp from the hooded mans arm.
'That's right, resistance is futile' the man said slowly. Sora could've sworn it almost sounded seductive. He began to move the dagger, letting the cool steel dug into Soras skin.
Sora didn't have any strength to scream or struggle. Her lungs winced of the need of oxygen, and the rest of her body ached because of the loss of blood.
'I do not only need your heart' the hooded man said, and now there was no doubt that he was talking seductively. Sora could feel the mans breath when his head moved closer towards her own.
'Your body's very useful too' he began to lick the cut on her neck 'Nobodys are perfect, just as you. You could've become a very powerful one, if your friend didn't care that much for you. You are the source of all heartless' he continued licking on her cut.
"Hey! Stop it!" someone yelled and Sora could feel the man stopped his licking. She guessed he'd turned his head to look at the person.
~*~
*Rikus POV*
I couldn't believe it! I'd just used all my magic points to toss a black energyball on that psycho to save the damsel in distress, and it didn't affect him at all! He just kept drooling and licking on that poor girl. Speaking of the girl, there was a blue tint in her pale skin because of the lack of oxygen. I needed to save her.
"Hey! Stop it!" I yelled with a voice shaking with anger.
The man turned his head to see the disturber, a.k.a. me.
I materialized Oblivion and charged at him. My keyblade dug deep into his chest.
The hood moved as he looked at the keyblade in his chest. Then he burst out laughing as if it was some kind of a joke.
"Stopra!" I yelled, pushed my keyblade a little deeper into his body, letting the spell work deep inside him, before I pulled it out again with all my strength.
The man screamed in agony with an odd voice that just appeared in my head 'this isn't last time we meet!' he disappeared with a flash of blue light.
I dematerialized my Oblivion and ran towards the girl who was now lying on the ground. I knelt down, grabbed her wrist to check her pulse. I sighed in relief. She was alive, but if I didn't do something, she was surely going do die.
I removed the cork from the hi-potion and slowly lifted her, letting her back and head rest on my chest. I let the hood slid away from her head and stiffened. Then I suddenly stroke her wet her to see if she was real. It was the girl from my dreams!
The hi-potion didn't seem to heal her much. She'd lost a lot of blood. I looked suspiciously at the big black pools around us, wondering if it really was rain or her blood...
I gave her the last potion I had, but still her state was critical. I closed my eyes and wrapped my arms protectively around her. She was so cold. The first thing I wanted do when I came home was to replace her wet clothes with dry ones.
I would not let her die, I'd just found her!..
/Will!/ I thought /Why didn't I thought of him?/ I looked up at the sky /Will! Can you hear me? I've found a girl, and she's badly wounded/.
'Where are you?' Will answered.
/I'm on the top of a hill, due south/ I answered.
'Don't move, I'm coming' Will said and broke the connection.
I looked down at her. I decided to try to heal her with the magic point I'd got for fighting the hooded man.
"Heal" I whispered and cast the Curaga spell. The green magic flowed into the girl and healed her wounds. I sighed, feeling light-headed, somehow sleepy. I didn't care; I always felt like that when I cast magic that wasn't dark. The girl was more important.
"Riku?" a beautiful but weak and hoarse voice said "am I dead?" she looked at me with half lidded eyes. They the most adorable blue eyes, I'd ever seen.
"No, you're not dead" I spoke softly.
"I must be dreaming" she sighed and became unconscious. I tightened the hug, but not too tight, because I didn't wanted it to hurt her. I just wanted to stay like this forever, protecting her from every danger in the world.
I felt the sleep came over me, and soon I drifted off.
*end of chapter nine*
Special note for my best friend Stella, who's reading this fic too: Haha! Jeg gjorde det! My ass remains unkicked, Blondie ^_^ Best friend 4ever, og vær stolt af at du har fået en note tilegnet specielt til dig i denne her fic. Hihi, du den bedste svensker I verden *mega-kram!*. Jeg vil prøve på at få det næste kapitel op snart. Er det i orden at jeg måske bruger dig senere hen? Jeg skal nok love at være sød mod din person *ondt grin* (To everyone elso who read this note: ehh, you didn't understand much of it, right?)
Well, well, that was a bad chappie, right? It's a bit longer than the other chapters, and I hope you all like it. I tried to add a bit. uh. horror/angst -thingie-ish-whatever-it-was. I think it became disgusting, but I just tried to write in a new style...
I have this bad habbit to read my previous chapters over and over again, trying to find some mistakes and to get the details. I've found out that I'm way better at writing English now, than for example just a month ago, but I still need a lot of practice, ya? XD
Riku: ^_^ thanx for giving me Oblivion back. But don't you think I was too angry in this chapter?
Me: that's because you were afraid that Sora would die or something, but you were trying to hide it.
Riku: O.o ??? whatever, but I'm not afraid of anything.
Sora: *points at Riku* You were afraid when Ellannor had got your keyblade in chapter eight.
Will: *laughing* Yeah, and in chapter two, Sora said you were afraid of the dark.
Riku: I was four when I was afraid of the dark and I think everyone should be afraid of Ellannor. She's quite scary.
Me: *sadly* Yeah, Inno... *sobs* *begins blabbing about how big a geeky outsider I am and something about I'm proud of it and don't wanna be like my other classmates bla bla bla*
Please review! Pretty, pretty please? *looks at the readers with puppy eyes*
Kind regards.
-Ellannor.

Sora dematerialized his keyblade. He panted heavily while he moved closer to the defeated opponent, wanting to see the face behind the hood.
Slowly, he knelt down, his hand shivered a bit when he tried to reach the hood.
A hand quickly grabbed his neck, and lifted him up with his legs dangling a few inches from the ground. Sora starred right into the black hood.
'You thought you had beaten me?' the hooded man said coldly while squeezing harder on Soras neck, making it even harder to breathe.
Soras eyes widened and he struggled against the firm grip. /No! I can't die yet! Not before I've met Riku, Kairi and Will one more time../ the hooded man pulled out a dagger and Sora squeezed his eyes shut /Will help me!/
~*~
Riku kept running down the dark streets, searching for Sora. He had a hi- potion in his left hand, ready to be opened as soon as he found his wounded friend.
"If you're dead, Sora, I'm gonna' bring you to live and then I'll kill you!" he hissed through clenched teeth. He knew that Will was just as worried as he was, Will couldn't fool him by acting like he didn't care. Together, they'd convinced Kairi that it was better for her to stay at home and finish cleaning up.
Riku cursed himself under his breathe for start searching later than after the sun had set.
Deciding it would be much easier to find Sora, he and Will split, Will looked in the eastern and northern part of the city, while Riku was looking in the western and southern part. He'd been searching, and still he hadn't any clue where Sora was.
He got to the end of the street and stopped. He'd apparently ended up the outskirts of the city, since there was a grassy hill, surrounded by green fields, up ahead. The fist rays of sunlight hit the hill, almost letting it look like one of the two persons on the hill was glowing. He gasped when he saw that one of them actually 'was' glowing, and the other one tried to suffocate the glowing person.
~*~
Sora groaned in his pain while he transformed. He just wished this was a nightmare and it would end soon. When it did, he would be back on Destiny Islands, woken up by Kairi, just before they took the raft. And then he would convince his best friends it was better to stay on the island.
But the pain and the dagger resting on the left side of his neck was bitter reality. The transforming ended. She stopped struggling, just hanging limp from the hooded mans arm.
'That's right, resistance is futile' the man said slowly. Sora could've sworn it almost sounded seductive. He began to move the dagger, letting the cool steel dug into Soras skin.
Sora didn't have any strength to scream or struggle. Her lungs winced of the need of oxygen, and the rest of her body ached because of the loss of blood.
'I do not only need your heart' the hooded man said, and now there was no doubt that he was talking seductively. Sora could feel the mans breath when his head moved closer towards her own.
'Your body's very useful too' he began to lick the cut on her neck 'Nobodys are perfect, just as you. You could've become a very powerful one, if your friend didn't care that much for you. You are the source of all heartless' he continued licking on her cut.
"Hey! Stop it!" someone yelled and Sora could feel the man stopped his licking. She guessed he'd turned his head to look at the person.
~*~
*Rikus POV*
I couldn't believe it! I'd just used all my magic points to toss a black energyball on that psycho to save the damsel in distress, and it didn't affect him at all! He just kept drooling and licking on that poor girl. Speaking of the girl, there was a blue tint in her pale skin because of the lack of oxygen. I needed to save her.
"Hey! Stop it!" I yelled with a voice shaking with anger.
The man turned his head to see the disturber, a.k.a. me.
I materialized Oblivion and charged at him. My keyblade dug deep into his chest.
The hood moved as he looked at the keyblade in his chest. Then he burst out laughing as if it was some kind of a joke.
"Stopra!" I yelled, pushed my keyblade a little deeper into his body, letting the spell work deep inside him, before I pulled it out again with all my strength.
The man screamed in agony with an odd voice that just appeared in my head 'this isn't last time we meet!' he disappeared with a flash of blue light.
I dematerialized my Oblivion and ran towards the girl who was now lying on the ground. I knelt down, grabbed her wrist to check her pulse. I sighed in relief. She was alive, but if I didn't do something, she was surely going do die.
I removed the cork from the hi-potion and slowly lifted her, letting her back and head rest on my chest. I let the hood slid away from her head and stiffened. Then I suddenly stroke her wet her to see if she was real. It was the girl from my dreams!
The hi-potion didn't seem to heal her much. She'd lost a lot of blood. I looked suspiciously at the big black pools around us, wondering if it really was rain or her blood...
I gave her the last potion I had, but still her state was critical. I closed my eyes and wrapped my arms protectively around her. She was so cold. The first thing I wanted do when I came home was to replace her wet clothes with dry ones.
I would not let her die, I'd just found her!..
/Will!/ I thought /Why didn't I thought of him?/ I looked up at the sky /Will! Can you hear me? I've found a girl, and she's badly wounded/.
'Where are you?' Will answered.
/I'm on the top of a hill, due south/ I answered.
'Don't move, I'm coming' Will said and broke the connection.
I looked down at her. I decided to try to heal her with the magic point I'd got for fighting the hooded man.
"Heal" I whispered and cast the Curaga spell. The green magic flowed into the girl and healed her wounds. I sighed, feeling light-headed, somehow sleepy. I didn't care; I always felt like that when I cast magic that wasn't dark. The girl was more important.
"Riku?" a beautiful but weak and hoarse voice said "am I dead?" she looked at me with half lidded eyes. They the most adorable blue eyes, I'd ever seen.
"No, you're not dead" I spoke softly.
"I must be dreaming" she sighed and became unconscious. I tightened the hug, but not too tight, because I didn't wanted it to hurt her. I just wanted to stay like this forever, protecting her from every danger in the world.
I felt the sleep came over me, and soon I drifted off.
*end of chapter nine*
Special note for my best friend Stella, who's reading this fic too: Haha! Jeg gjorde det! My ass remains unkicked, Blondie ^_^ Best friend 4ever, og vær stolt af at du har fået en note tilegnet specielt til dig i denne her fic. Hihi, du den bedste svensker I verden *mega-kram!*. Jeg vil prøve på at få det næste kapitel op snart. Er det i orden at jeg måske bruger dig senere hen? Jeg skal nok love at være sød mod din person *ondt grin* (To everyone elso who read this note: ehh, you didn't understand much of it, right?)
Well, well, that was a bad chappie, right? It's a bit longer than the other chapters, and I hope you all like it. I tried to add a bit. uh. horror/angst -thingie-ish-whatever-it-was. I think it became disgusting, but I just tried to write in a new style...
I have this bad habbit to read my previous chapters over and over again, trying to find some mistakes and to get the details. I've found out that I'm way better at writing English now, than for example just a month ago, but I still need a lot of practice, ya? XD
Riku: ^_^ thanx for giving me Oblivion back. But don't you think I was too angry in this chapter?
Me: that's because you were afraid that Sora would die or something, but you were trying to hide it.
Riku: O.o ??? whatever, but I'm not afraid of anything.
Sora: *points at Riku* You were afraid when Ellannor had got your keyblade in chapter eight.
Will: *laughing* Yeah, and in chapter two, Sora said you were afraid of the dark.
Riku: I was four when I was afraid of the dark and I think everyone should be afraid of Ellannor. She's quite scary.
Me: *sadly* Yeah, Inno... *sobs* *begins blabbing about how big a geeky outsider I am and something about I'm proud of it and don't wanna be like my other classmates bla bla bla*
Please review! Pretty, pretty please? *looks at the readers with puppy eyes*
Kind regards.
-Ellannor.
