Firion kept turning in his sleep on his bed as he woke up with a gasp, sweat flowing down his skin from his face as he look around the entire room of the inn to see his comrades asleep on beds, Dark Ace's tail kept wagging even in sleep as he only wore red shorts to sleep before a calm yet familiar girl voice asked him beside his left. "What are you dreaming?"
"Kai?" Firion asked as he turn before letting out a short scream of shock when he is looking face – to – face with a figure exactly like Kai, but shorter hair to her shoulders, wearing a loose-fitting full length dress, consisting of a blue skirt and a collarless, long – sleeved white blouse; but the most shocking thing, her left eye is removed showing a black deep hole with dried blood flowing down the left cheek, her arms, hands, neck and right cheek sport crack – like marks and her clothing has huge tears and blood; showing her right leg, forearms, abdomens, and even showing her chest.
The "corrupted" Kai gave a look of confusion and confidence as she asked Firion, who is trying to catch his breath. "Who the hell would scream in the middle of the night?" until Firion finally answer back with an apology. "I'm sorry; it's just…are you Kai?"
"I was planning of naming myself that but because somebody who my human form might met call me that, I need a new name." This "Kai" answered with a tired tone as Firion look at her with confusion before asking her again. "Somebody?"
"Guy in white with black hair, looks gay, and has a mask piece of some teeth at the side of his head." "Kai" answered with a shrug of shoulders as Firion narrow his eyes as that description match a certain ally of Mozenrath, who is the reason of separating the others at the forest with portals. Firion snapped his thoughts when "Kai" bang a pillow on his head before throwing it back to the bed when she added. "I sold my religion soul to become the Princess of Demon Summoning with Kai Crystal. Right now, I'm my religion soul."
Firion nod in understanding while he patiently listened to "Kai" explaining. "I'll be called Konata just it won't confuse everyone and I only appear in memories, dreams, and temporally use some magic to be in person. If there's a memory manikin of me, use Konata too; I don't like using my real name."
"Why?" Firion asked as Kai, or Konata made a serious face with her only right eye narrow with a frown before finishing the conversation. "It's easy to forget my real name, even it's a popular name. Well good night…" as Konata turn to leave before asking him back. "And don't scream in the night, it's embarrassing to hear someone having a nightmare."
A scream hollered the whole house that night, as it woke up Yumichika, Apacci, Bale, Kai, and Vanitas to ran down from their bedrooms, in pajamas before the latter switch on the lights to see Luppi still on the living room couch, his eyes glued to shock and he trying to catch his breath from screaming, even waking up Narunosuke who was sleeping on the floor.
"Luppi!" Yumichika ran to the couch as Luppi grab him by the hand before he stuttered in shock. "I – I – I – I – I s – saw fire and then – a knife stabbed her eye – and a gunshot at t – t – the chest!" earning confusion while Kai narrow her right eye before Luppi suddenly dash to wrap his shaking arms around Yumichika before he feel tears at his purple pajamas. "K – K – K – Kai l – lost her eye, Yumichika!"
"I will send Luppi to his room, Miss Kai." Narunosuke said as Kai nod in agreement before everyone watch Narunosuke holding Luppi on his skinny arms before he walked up the stairs to upstairs.
"You lost an eye Kai?" Apacci asked as she look at her in her pajamas, the same long – sleeved white buttoned shirt that cloaks her hands, and black shorts. Apacci wore a simple white shirt and shorts while Vanitas wore red swimming – trunks like shorts and Bale wore a sleeveless pink nightdress.
"Yeah but how did Luppi know about that?" Kai wondered as she lift the bangs off her left eye to have her matching right eye, earning a sigh of relief from Yumichika before Vanitas spoke with a small laugh. "Good thing that was before, cuz I don't want to see you lost your left eye again."
"…I'll get my sword." Kai joked emotionlessly as she covered her left eye back, getting the boys to froze and Vanitas grab Kai by the waist to stop her from going upstairs before Yumichika told her with slight panic. "Better not get Luppi more shocked again."
"Don't worry, I calm him back to sleep with a simple spell so he won't have that nightmare again." Narunosuke voice spoke as he walk down the stairs before Kai dismiss him in light with a sway of a hand after everyone walked back up to their rooms. Few hours later to dawn, everyone wore their clothing as they had breakfast at the dining room which are pancakes from Kai's summons Sonya and Gory and the delicious smell must've woke Luppi up because he walk downstairs to join the others and he sat next to Kai.
"Morning Luppi, you got to try these pancakes. I guess living at Kai's castle is gonna be awesome." Apacci told Luppi with a grin as Sonya place a plate of stacked pancakes infront of Luppi before Gory walks on the table with her sleeve – covered hands holding a bottle of maple syrup.
"You want some maple syrup? It's delicious if you do." Gory offered as Luppi nod with a small smile before Gory lightly squeeze the bottle to pour the syrup on Luppi's pancakes and he took a bite and taste it to find it delicious to keep eating it. When everyone finished their pancakes, Vanitas opened the front door which was knocking to be a young man with short red hair with matching fox ears and tail, dressed like a pirate in black coat with yellow buttons, a black eyepatch covering his right eye as his left shows yellow, red pants and black boots. His right hooked hand is holding a shirt a bloodied and bruised familiar boy with big white hair of Gideon.
"Excuse me, I'm lookin' for a Princess in pink ballgown, long hair and very cold – hearted?" The pirate fox asked Vanitas as he watch in amusement of Gideon struggling off his hook with gritted teeth before he answered with a grin. "Princess Kai? Yeah she's here."
"Excuse me Vanitas!" Luppi screamed in shock as he ran out of the house when Apacci also ran out to chase him with fury, her figure is soaked from Luppi spraying water from the kitchen before Vanitas stuffed an apple on Gideon's mouth when he shouted while pointing a tiny finger at Luppi. "Get him!" until the pirate spin Gideon in the air before he send the latter flying a mile away, the sight of his flight stops both Luppi and Apacci from their little fight.
"That'll get him back to town, probably break a bone or ten." The pirate said with a grin when everyone ran out of Vanitas's house before Vanitas told him with a smirk. "Hope he land with all his bones broken."
Chunky walked through a town where the people watch the four boys riding a large and majestic colored saber – toothed tiger in amazement before Billy, Ienzo, Kuja, and Mozenrath jumped off Chunky where Kuja notice a sight of three men which he seems to recognize; a man with wearing a blue jacket with rolled sleeves over a white T-shirt with brown cargo-pants, black boots, fingerless gloves and a large black belt, has long black hair which combed over to the right side. His eyes are green and he wears dog-tags and a silver earring.
The other one he knows and seems to despise is a young man wearing a black and gray armor, with gold lining, and turquoise jewels, with a long purple cape with gold linings, though to Kuja's confusion, this young man looks like a teenager with short blonde hair to his neck, the bangs are shorter to his forehead, and he looks thinner.
The last young man has blonde hair with spikes at the back of his head, purple lightning bolt – like marks above his eyes, matching purple eyes, tanned skin, and wears a white coat with purple underneath that doesn't cover his small muscled body, the sleeves has black dots with chains at the wrists, purple pants and white shoes with purple soles.
"Hey Kuja, is that Axel?" Mozenrath asked as unknown to anyone; Ienzo flinched of the name but he let out a sigh of relief when Mozenrath was pointing at the second blonde haired young man before the five walked to the three, who seem to notice them before the man in blue jacket let out a jump of surprise when he notices Chunky. "Woah! Some cat you got!" earning a small growl from the annoyed tiger.
"Hey Kuja." The man who Mozenrath called him Axel (Disgaea series) gave a grin as he walk to give a hug on the silver – haired; to find Kuja's height reaching Axel's chin before Billy leaned to Mozenrath with a whisper. "Hey Moze, how many siblings does Kuja has?"
"Kuja has 13 older brothers and 7 sisters. Kuja's the youngest brother before the last two sisters are born. Axel's one of Kuja's older twin brothers." Mozenrath answered as Billy blink his shock eyes before the other blonde haired knight questioned. "I thought Zidane Tribal's Kuja's brother?"
"That's what I first thought all my life before I realize when I fought Mozenrath a bit." Kuja wondered as the black haired man touch his chin with a nod before asking with a smile. "Hey, why don't you kids join us? We're suppose to meet up with a fox pirate who ran off to find a princess." Earning a surprise from Mozenrath until the blonde haired knight grabs both him and Kuja on the collar in each of his hands before dragging the two to a tailor shop.
"Maybe Garland (Final Fantasy 1 in Domus Facina version) wants to fix their clothes." The black haired man, Laguna (Final Fantasy 8) told Axel as the group waited for more than 30 minutes until Garland walk out to show Mozenrath with his blue Arabian Night clothes and black cape and shoes without a single tear, and Kuja now wore a simple green T – shirt with a red ribbon at the collar, purple shorts with a long lavender cloth tied at the waist which it's easy to hide his silver tail, and black knee – length, pointed boots.
"Off to ––!" Laguna almost finished declaring before Garland suddenly knock Laguna off the ground before shouting with a grin. "Ha! I knock you down bitch!" as Axel lean to his young twin brother before whispering. "Yeah, Garland has multiple – personality disorder; about 4." Earning a small nod before Laguna woke up in a flash and Billy, Mozenrath, Kuja, and Ienzo rode Chunky out of town while Ienzo can summon his book to grow large for the three to ride on it.
Sora woke up with a yawn while he sat up on the couch to see only Haruhi sitting next to Sora, but Salem's not on the couch before Aizen's voice ringed Sora's ears, the news widen his eyes in shock. "Haruhi wanted to heal his wound for the misunderstanding, but Salem only said he wish to rest in peace so he just disappear in water."
"…Oh." Sora lowered his head sadly before letting out a sad answer. "If it weren't for his dad, none of this would've happen." As he can feel Aizen's hand rubbing his left shoulder beside Sora's right before Sora turn to see Aizen dressed in a white coat over a matching clothing with hakama, a pink sash around his waist, and black Japanese shoes.
"Do you want to join me watching Jack and his friends train? It won't take long before we go find you friends." Aizen offered the Keyblade Master calmly as Sora gave a small nod in agreement before the two walk out of the manor to the field infront to see Jack, Lady Anya, Jecht, Makoto, and Mateus fighting Riser, and Barbariccia with fists, swords, and bit of magic from Anya, and Barbariccia.
"I heard a lot about you Lord Aizen, but I didn't know you're the Landlord of Domus Facina's brother. I didn't even know he HAS a brother." Sora told Lord Aizen with surprise as the two watch Jecht lifting a hand in the air before Mateus; who wore the same shorts he wore at the Mirage Arena with a simple white T – shirt, attacked Riser, who jumped to attack Anya, with a spinning breakdance – like move on Jecht's palm before Jack jump on Mateus's torso in a somersault until he sends a drop kick on Riser.
"Once, our home died because our village was burning when Jack was born; I was three. Our mother kept running through the snowy forest, trying to ran away from the people who are responsible with the killing so our mother hide us in a bushes near a house by the river before she ran to distract the other assassins away from us, sending her killed." Lord Aizen explained as Sora watch the Redeemers of the Damned fighting though his story starts to feel pity in Sora's heart before asked Aizen again. "Then how did you leave Jack on his own?"
"When we were living on our own in that house for 10 years, Jack has cause trouble to a different village which I was the only one who would take care of him until he was accepted in a school for his talent of elemental bending. As a test to see if he can be responsible on his own, I fake my death by falling in a rapid river and waterfall beside our house and the village." Lord Aizen answered as Sora widen his eyes in shock until a large gust of wind suddenly grab Sora and lifted him in the air to the sky until he was above and beside the manor, earning Sora to scream in shock.
"What are you doing!?" Sora shouted as he can hear Barbariccia shouting back. "Just making sure you can feel the air! I'm going to drop you now! ~" until the gust of wind faded and Sora scream during the long fall as he notice Barbariccia grabbing Riser by the arm before Riser was flying while he was screaming too until both men crashed to each other and fell to hit the ground, but the two didn't feel any ground, only something soft to be Lady Anya's wings.
"You could have scared Sora." Lord Aizen told his wife as Barbariccia let out a sigh before telling him with a small smile. "Alright, this'll be the first and last time I'm messing with Sora. But I should have taken a video of Riser flying while screaming." Earning Riser to gave a short whisper. "D – D – damn you…"
ROTD Omake: Sora's Dream (Music Cue: Five Nights of Freddy's by The Living Tombstone.)
Jack, Anya, Jecht, Mateus, and Makoto stood on a dark stage with their eyes are closed as a music of a man singing was played before Jack opened his green eyes with a grin as the five started to flinch to move.
We're waiting every night
To finally roam and invite
Newcomers to play with us
For many years we've been all alone
Then Riser Phenex was looking around in silence as it earns Jecht and Jack to lower their head with their eyes half open in sadness, while Anya spots a few tears in her eyes, Mateus slowly turn his wrists with a face slowly showing anger.
We're forced to be still and play
The same songs we've known since that day
An imposter took our life away
Now we're stuck here to decay
Riser then widen his eyes in shock as Makoto also widen his eyes and his mouth before suddenly, each Redeemer of the Damned then try to plea to Riser before a door keeps shutting them out, each member lip – syncs a lyric of the song.
Jecht: Please let us get in!
Anya: Don't lock us away!
Mateus: We're not like what you're thinking
Makoto: We're poor little souls
Who have lost all control
Jack: And we're forced here to take that role
The scene then changes to be black and white as Jack, Anya, Mateus, and Jecht were standing on the stage, looking at the ceiling with fear while the camera of the scene zoom out to show Makoto holding his weapon he use to fight; his Bankai, the Reppu, in one hand, his face sports something what reminds of blood.
We've been all alone
Stuck in our little zone
Since 1987
Riser shows to wrap his arms around his forearms before the lights went to dark where Jack lean to see Riser from beside the doorway, the pupils in his eyes glows red.
Join us, be our friend
Or just be stuck and defend
After all you only got
Five Nights at Freddy's
Jecht: Is this where you want to be
Anya: I just don't get it
Mateus: Why do you want to stay
Makoto: Five Nights at
Jack: Freddy's!
Is this where you want to be
I just don't get it
Why do you want to stay
Five Nights at Freddy's!
The scene suddenly shows Anya with her eyes closed in the background while Mateus was running through the darkness and the right side Jecht appears before disappearing when Makoto repeated him at the left side before the scene now changes to show Riser standing alone while one by one Jecht, Mateus, Anya, and Makoto appears and disappears beside Riser in a flash before Jack appears leaning to Riser and the latter lip – sync a scream in shock before the scene darkens for a short while until the scene shows back to the stage with the five Redeemers before the song started.
We're really quite surprised
We get to see you another night
The five opened their eyes when the scene shows Aizen looking from the door before walking out, earning Jecht to curl his fingers in a fist while Mateus narrow his eyes with a tilt of his head before the camera changes to the other two as Anya narrowing her eyes in fury with gritted teeth while Makoto turn his wrists with anger.
You should have looked for another job
You should have said to this place good-bye
The scene again changes to Aizen's face as he narrow his eyes when the scene changes to black and white with the Jecht, Mateus, Jack, and Anya standing at the stage with smiles while Makoto stands infront before Aizen and Haruhi, the latter looks at them with amazement.
It's like there's so much more
Maybe you've been in this place before
Jack suddenly lower his head a bit, making Aizen widen his shocked eyes as Haruhi was standing infront of Makoto before Haruhi widen her eyes when he suddenly start to raise his weapon and Aizen let out a silent scream before the chorus repeated the same scenes from the first, with Aizen replacing Riser.
We remember a face like yours
You seem acquainted with those doors
Jecht: Please let us get in!
Anya: Don't lock us away!
Mateus: We're not like what you're thinking
Makoto: We're poor little souls
Who have lost all control
Jack: And we're forced here to take that role
We've been all alone
Stuck in our little zone
Since 1987
Join us, be our friend
Or just be stuck and defend
After all you only got
Five Nights at Freddy's
Jecht: Is this where you want to be
Anya: I just don't get it
Mateus: Why do you want to stay
Makoto: Five Nights at
Jack: Freddy's!
Is this where you want to be
I just don't get it
Why do you want to stay
Five Nights at Freddy's!
As the song started to end, Riser and Aizen are shown to be sitting with their backs against each other on the stage without the Redeemers of the Damed, their heads lowering to conceal their faces until the song ended, both Riser and Aizen lifted their heads to show blood tears and their eyes widening with a widen grin, lip – syncing the exact scream from the end of the first chorus.
Sora woke up in a flash with a scream as he looks around to be sleeping in the living room, sleeping on Salem who just woke up in shock from Sora's scream until he flinch of the pain.
"I'm sorry Salem! I didn't know!" Sora apologized in shock as Salem slowly shook his head before adding in pain. "D – Don't worry about me. I'll heal myself tomorrow, just go back to sleep."
(The plot of the song is inspired from Techno Blaze's Five Nights at Freddy's MMD video at Youtube.)
