Chapter 10: HA! BOOM BABY! Part 1
A/N- I took a LONG break with this story, and I've decided to bring it back a little. I don't own the song in this chapter either (Emperor's New Groove Arc)
Master Eraqus was lazily rifling through his papers and other works at his desk in his private office when he heard a knock on the door. Make that three.
*Knock knock knock!*
The old Keyblade Master was already exhausted and asked for no visitors while he was working, but he sighed and motioned them in. "Yes yes, come in, come in."
He was surprised to see that it was a Master Aqua who stepped in; looking apologetic she closed the door behind her and addressed her fellow master. "Sorry to disturb you Master Eraqus, but I've been informed that uh…"
"Go on… spit it out Aqua." Eraqus encouraged her to continue. "I don't have all day, and there is still much work to be done today."
"Well... Lea and Vanitas started their Keyblade Glider Training and they sort of... flew away."
"Excuse me? How do you mean 'flew away'?"
"I mean they both left the Land of Departure and are traveling the Lanes Between." Aqua informed him.
"What?! Lea is your student Aqua! And Terra is Vanitas's Master, why tell me of what happened when you have the authorities and youth of Masters and go collect your students yourself?" Eraqus slammed his fist onto his desk. "They both must be accounted for!"
"That's why Terra and Ven already left to go get them. Don't worry, they'll bring them back." Aqua comforted.
"I should hope so. And what of the children. How do they fair?" Eraqus inquired.
"Well… Sora froze himself in a block of ice and got a brain freeze, Riku tried to do an earth spell, and got grounded, and… Kairi laughed at them both... Just another normal day with magic practice." Aqua shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly.
"Well see to it they are thawed and dug up, and continue with their training, hopefully those two troublemakers will come to their senses and return with Terra and Ventus."
Aqua bowed her head in respect and in usual habit. "Yes, Master."
"Van! Take a look at this palace man, this is a place I'd sure like to live in, got it memorized?" Lea smirked at they both walked into what looked like a golden throne room decorated with the finest materials.
"In my travels across the worlds, I've never been to this one before. This one doesn't look as stupid as the others…" Vanitas inspected as they both came to a small podium which a golden vase was carefully placed on.
Unable to resist his mischievous habits, Vanitas pushed the vase off the podium, expecting it to smash into a million pieces. But before that could happen, a red blur came out of nowhere and caught the vase before it hit the ground.
"Hey! No touchy! And what are you two doing in my palace?!" A young man in red and a golden crown stood before the Keyblade apprentices as he placed the vase back on the podium. "Who let you in?"
Lea did his best to play it smooth and keep their Keyblade identities a secret. "Why don't you let me do the talking?" He grinned as he held out his hand to the young man and spoke crudely. "What's up, name's Lea, got it memorized? Me and my friend were wondering if you could give us a tour of this awesome house!"
…
…
"GUARDS!"
Suddenly, the two of them were surrounded by large men with spears and their intimidating demeanors were enough to scare away any regular visitors.
Vantias murmured. "Nice move, idiot."
The young man formerly introduced himself. "You came into my palace, touch my pretty vase and not even bow to me? Do you have any idea in those little itty-bitty brains of yours who I am?!"
"No."
"Well then you must of been living under a rock, because I am Emporor Kuzco, and I might just have to tell you how everything works, through my own personal song!Everyone places people!" He clapped. "Cue Theme Song Guy!"
"Oh no." Both boys echoed as they watched the performance. And a short man with sunglasses and a microphone came out of nowhere!
There are despots and dictators
Political manipulators
There are blue bloods with the intellects of fleas
There are kings and petty tyrants
Who are so lacking in refinements
They'd be better suited swinging from the trees
He was born and raised to rule
No one has ever been this cool
In a thousand years of aristocracy
An enigma and a mystery
In Meso American History
The quintessence of perfection that is he
He's the sovereign lord of the nation
He's the hippest dude in creation
He's a hep cat in the emperor's new clothes
Years of such selective breeding
Generations have been leading
To this miracle of life that we all know
What's his name?
Kuzco, Kuzco, Kuzco...
He's the sovereign lord of the nation
He's the hippest cat in creation
He's the alpha, the omega, a to z
And this perfect world will spin
Around his every little whim
'Cause this perfect world begins and ends with him
What's his name?
Kuzco, Kuzco, Kuzco...
During the whole amazing musical number, Kuzco accidentally danced into Vanitas, and everthing just stopped and froze like someone violently tore off the needle on a record player.
The Emperor was appalled. "Hey! You threw off my groove!"
One of the large guards came up to Vanitas and addressd him in a deep but polite tone. "I'm sorry, but you've thrown off the Emperor's groove.
...
Vanitas disapproves...
We cut to outside at an open palace window which led to a straight drop of hundreds of feet below.
And instead, Vanitas threw the large guard out the window and he bellowed as he plummeted comically. "SOOORRRYyyy!"
