Say hay! I'm back! (No mental institution can keep me away from a computer very long).
Oh yeah! 10th chapter anniversary. (No one thought I'd get this far).
Disclamer: For the 10th time: I don't own Kingdom Hearts.
A Tale Called Kingdom Hearts
The Dragon's gem
Sora's Dream...
"Where am I?" Sora asked himself, looking around and seeing nothing but darkness.
"Hey bastard look up!" a voice yelled from above.
Sora looked up and saw someone in a black cloak fly down at him, summoning two weapons he attacked Sora, flying at him at superspeed, impaling him in the chest. Blood leaking out of Sora's mouth as he screamed in ungodly, unheard, pain.
-
"AAAAAHHHHHHGGGGGG!" Sora screamed, his eyes opening.
"Sora!" Kairi yelled, freaking out.
"Sora calm down bud!" Riku said, shaking him a little so he'd stop screaming.
"My god" Sora muttered, panting a little "What a horrible dream".
"You have a nightmare Sora ahuck?" Goofy asked.
"Yeah, no big deal though" Sora said, giving everyone his goofest grin to show he was ok. "That wasn't a dream, you can't feel pain in a dream. It was just like the last one I had, the one with the giant Soulless, and that boy, at least I think it was a boy. Damn this is giving me a headache".
"You sure?" Kairi asked, eyeing Sora.
"Yeah, I'm sure" Sora said, still smiling.
"That's good, how's your leg feeling?" Kairi asked; she didn't seem convinced Sora was telling the truth.
"Pretty good, that nap helped" Sora said "Hey Donald, how long till we hit Radiant Garden?".
"About five minuets" Donald answered, carefully flying the beat up gummi ship.
"Great, I really need to see some friendly faces after the whole Wonderland thing" Sora said sadly, looking out the window but taking none of the scenery in.
-
"Bunch of retarded pinheads, flying like that in the world's atmosphere, your lucky your ship can still fly in a mother fucking straight line" Cid scolded, kicking the ship with his foot in a pissed off way.
"So can you fix it or not!" Donald yelled, his temper getting the best of him.
"You screw your girl I can" Cid said proudly "It'll take a little time though".
"How much time is a little time?" Donald asked, still yelling a little.
"Oh 'bout four hours at most" Cid said, lighting a cigarette and grabbing his tool box.
"Well that gives us a little time, thanks Cid" Sora said.
"Oh Sora wait a sec!" Cid called.
"Yeah?".
"Forgot ta' tell you, Leon wants ta' see ya".
-
After that everyone split up...
Donald and Goofy went shopping for supplies.
Riku and Kairi where heading to the Restoration Site, Riku was going to teach Kairi some new abilities, and Sora was going to join them as soon as he finished with Leon.
"Damn Cid, he never told me where Leon was!" Sora thought. So he went to the only place he could think Leon would be, Merlin's house.
As soon as he opened the door he heard someone scream "Stupid computer, I hate this piece of crap!". It was Aerith.
"Uhh bad time?" Sora asked, since she started banging on the keyboard.
"Hun? Oh Sora, it's good to see you again" Aerith said happily, running up and hugging him, which was just a little embarrassing.
"Why are you back so soon, I thought you'd be gone for a month, traveling all over the worlds and stuff?" Aerith asked sweetly, letting Sora go.
"We had gummi ship trouble" Sora said, looking around the house "Err, is Leon here?".
"You just missed him, sorry" Aerith said taking her seat at Cid's computer again.
"He said he wanted to see me" Sora said, leaning against the chalkboard.
"He dose" Aerith said, trying to type something.
"You know where he is?" Sora asked.
"Un-hun, he's in he Market Place, you'll want to hurry if you want to catch him".
-
"Crap!" Sora muttered, leaning against the stone railing. He had looked everywhere but still no Leon, he even asked Donald and Goofy if they saw him, no luck.
"So you made it" a voice from behind said. Sora turned and saw Leon leaning against the wall of some building. "I didn't think you'd show".
"Sorry 'bout that" Sora said, as Leon walked up to him.
"Don't apologize" Leon said sternly, leaning against the railing along side Sora.
"Ok, so why did you want to see me?" Sora asked, knowing Leon always wanted to get to the point.
"A little before you arrived I found this" Leon said, pulling a blood red stone from his pocket.
"I think it's a summoning gem" Leon said, throwing the rock to Sora.
"You might be right" Sora said, holding the gem up to the sun "Wonder who it summons?".
ROAR!
Sora and Leon looked down and saw a huge Guard Hound Soulless climbing up the side of the wall.
"Looks like your going to find out" Leon said, pointing at the gem in Sora's hand "Go get em'".
"Right!" Sora yelled, letting his instincts take over; he threw the gem in the air, tapped it with the end of his keyblade and turned it like he was unlocking something. Blue flames shot out of the gem, surrounding Sora's body.
"This dosen't seem right" Sora thought as the flames completely surrounded him. He suddenly got this weird urge to yell something, he couldn't help it.
"DRAGON UP!" Sora screamed, he suddenly felt his body begin to change. A flash of light blinded Sora; and when his vision cleared he saw he had turned into a dragon.
"Cool" Sora muttered, examining his new dragon-like body.
"Hey Sora! I don't want to ruin your little moment here, but I could really use a hand!" Leon said, shooting at the Hound's paws, trying to dislodge it from the wall, no luck though.
"Damn it this thing won't die!" Leon yelled, continuing to fire at the Hound, who finally made it to the top of the wall.
ROAR!
The Guard Hound attacked with it's sonic boom attack, knocking Leon and Sora back into a wall.
"Oof!" Leon muttered as he hit the wall, he raised his gunblade and put three shots in the Soulless's head.
Still the monster was still alive.
"Shit!" Leon muttered.
"This is getting dangerous, fast!" Sora thought, spreading his wings. "Leon let me handle this!" he said, pushing off the wall. Sora flew into the Soulless, dislodging it from the wall. Sora spun hard, knocking the Soulless Hound into the air with his tail. Then, pooling his will into it, Sora shot a fireball at the Soulless, killing it before it hit the ground.
"Wahoo!" Sora yelled, doing corkscrews in the air "This is better than gliding!".
"Hey Dragon-Boy! Get down before some hunter that thinks your a bird puts a couple of shots up your ass" Leon said, crossing his arms.
"Sorry 'bout that" Sora said, landing on the stone railing and reverting back to his normal form in a burst of blue flames.
"SORA GET DOWN!" Leon yelled, Sora instinctly ducked and heard two shots from Leon's gunblade. He turned and saw two Soulless disappear into a cloud of dust behind him, shot in the head by Leon.
"Whoa! Nice shot Leon" Sora said, cheerfully putting his hands behind his head.
"Whatever" Leon said, looking over the edge.
"What'cha looking at?" Sora asked, pocketing the gem.
"I'm looking for the Soulless's nest" Leon said, still scaning the landscape.
"A Soulless's nest?" Sora asked, confused.
"Well...that's what the King called it" Leon said in a board voice.
"The King! King Mickey is here!?" Sora yelled.
"Well he was here about a day ago, he came, we talked about the Soulless, he gave us a copy of his page of Ansem's Logbook, and he left" Leon said, grabbing a rope from behind a trash can and tying it to a streetlight.
"So...did you find any of the Logbook's pages while in Wonderland" Leon asked, tying the rope around his waist.
"Yeah, we did found one page, but there's a huge hole right in the middle" Sora said sadly, carefully pulling the page out of his pocket.
"Oh well" Leon muttered after reading the entry "Listen I'm going to hang onto this for you, ok" Leon said, putting the page in his pocket.
"Uhhh sure" Sora said, scratching his head.
"Thanks; so do you want to help me clean this nest out? It's going to be a hell of a fight" Leon asked, securing his gunblade in it's holster.
"Sorry Leon, I promised Riku and Kairi I'd meet them in the Restoration Site; teach Kairi some new moves ya'know" Sora said. "Maybe next time".
"Right "next time"...well good luck with the rest of your journey Sora, you'll need it" Leon said, repelling down the wall face without another word, as Sora ran off to find his friends.
I think you all know who says "Dragon up"!
