Plus its cool that 1000 times my writing been read. Now if only I could get 1000 reviews. Seriously It is that hard to review a story. Most of the reviewers are in this story. Its not that I'm mad. its I like hearing the reviews. I like knowing you're favorite parts. Hell I can't improve my style if people don't comment on it.

Chapter 9
Will
I groaned and open my eyes. I noticed my head is lying on a table. A very familiar table I've seen only once before. The table that Kami was sitting at. I raised my head, and she sitting right there, waiting.
"How am I still alive?" Kami slid over a wild cherry Pepsi towards me, and offer a plate of m&m cookies.
"One of your comrades, she found you right as you passed out. She brought you to a healer before you bled out. Why you didn't bled out as quickly as you would have, I believe because of your stubborn heroic will wouldn't let you die," Kami looked up. I noticed the sound of waves hitting sand. I know I was on a platform, but then again I also only see the night sky. Must be a beach below me.
"What do you mean by heroic will?" I sipped my pepsi.
"I mean what I said. You have the power of the heroes you created. The lightning swordsman, the green knight. the dragon swordsman, and the wolf tactician," Kami crossed her arms.
"So I do have their powers, but why?" I bite into a cookie. It was soft, and really chewy. It tasted pretty damn good, like the ones I grabbed a school when I went to ala carte.
"Because you asked for them. I brought you into this world. When we made the deal. I asked you to come into this world because of your wish. I needed your help, and you had your own reasons," Kami leaned back in her chair. She was really relaxed, but for some reason I had a gut feeling she wasn't actually leaning back in that chair.
"Why did you need my help? What about the others? Why are the others here? What is this deal? I drank my drink, and was getting a bit frustrated. Every answer to a question gave another question.
"I need your help because Ylisse and its world is in played the story, and it shows victory for the heroes. This has never been the case. Your game is wrong, in every timeline the heroes have lost. Even in this timeline Lucina coming back has doomed its timeline, because Grima followed her. I called all of you to aid in the defeat of Grima. You six will be a wildcard that even Grima can't see coming. Of course to bring you all here, we had to make a deal. Each person I picked had a wish, which allowed me to make the deal. Of course with each deal everyone had to make an oath," Kami stopped leaning in her chair.
"Grima won, but how are we suppose to stop Grima? Also what this about a oath, What does Aurion, the counterpart have to do with any of this, What about the others, why do they see someone called the Tactician Knight or a girl with a white patch of hair?," I looked shocked. How could we failed even in the good timeline. Does that mean we are all doomed.
"I cannot tell you, but you must fight and find out. You all were brought by me, They are all me, in a different form. In this area we are in just a form. It and I take the form you are most comfortable with. You see this because you're a major Kingdom hearts fan, and it was one of the first games you really had an interest in," Kami waved her hand around the area.
"How about you explain the oath and my counterpart who tried to kill me," I rolled my eyes. So they are really just the same person but then again what the hell is Kami then?
"I cannot explain the oath, but the counterpart is made from the oath. Aurion, and the counterparts are created because of the oath. Without them you cannot keep your oath," Kami sighed.
"How does a guy who can kill me in matter of seconds, help me with an oath that I don't know," I sighed.
"You act like he meant to kill you," Kami looked at me confused.
"You mean he wasn't?" Kami was about to speak, but everything went black. Great the moment I'm getting answers had to be cut. Why do I feel someone poking me. Also who's strumming the guitar. It sounds like they are playing Gerudo Valley.
"Wakey Wakey. Can't sleep all day," That voice was coming from above me, and it was Dusty's voice.
"Damn, it Dusty can't you let me sleep?" I open my eyes, and I see Dusty staring at me while she was eating a piece of chocolate. Also was she sitting on the bedstand.
"Nope, We gotta see if you're ok. Tomorrow we gotta go move the exalt?" Dusty chomped onto her chocolate.
"You're point, I'm sore from all these injures I got from a damn evil swordsman who is made from a oath that I have to complete, but I don't know why," I groaned from the pain of my injures. "By the way who saved me,"
"So what man. I'm just as injured as you are, and I'm going to continue the fight as well. Those healing staves they have heal us up very well. Gotta show the Plegian bastards the power of Ferox warrior," I turned to my right, and noticed Noah lying in a hospital bed, playing a guitar. That explains the Gerudo valley. I looked around the room. It was one of those standard white hospital rooms that filled doctor supplies that you know. I saw Erin sitting a chair reading a book.
"I found you, lying on the ground. You were beat up badly," Erin flipped a page in her book.
"My counterpart kicked the crap out of me. It just showed me how much I can't do this. I can't win this fight. He pwned me," I turned away from them all, and covered my face with my pillow.
"Come on Nighty, why so down?" Dusty tried to move the pillow from my head. I'm guessing she wasn't sitting on the bedstand anymore.
"Cause I can't do. I can't be like them. I'm not a hero," I screamed at her. She was standing right in front of me."I'm not Ron," I threw my head back into the pillow. I felt my face become wet. Great I'm crying.
"What do you mean, you're not Ron? Isn't your name Ron?" Dusty looked at me confused.
"Not the Ron, who could do this. Not the Ron who would charge into the battle, and come out of it standing tall. He wouldn't have been beat by some swordsman. Even Percival, or Jolt would have done something better. I'm not them. I can't use their powers. I'm not them. I'm just a gamer who looks up to heroes he can't be. I can't be this. If I go into another fight I'll die. I'm not fast like Jolt. I'm not a genius like Percival. I'm not even a good fighter like Isaac, I'm not the epic fighter Ron is..I'm not them. I'm not a hero," I wrapped my pillow over my head. Everything went silent for a while, and even Noah stopped playing gerudo valley. Then I felt someone pull my head away from the pillow, and play a cloth over my face. It was Erin, and she was wiping away my tears.
"So that's a reason to give up, So what you're powers aren't your own. Make them your own. You can't lose you're will. Keep fighting. You did survive. I've seen what you can do. Maybe you aren't them, but you can fight. You might have borrowed powers, but you can make them your own. You definitely are a hero," Erin continued to wipe the tears. I looked in her eyes, and I saw it. She really did believe I could do it.
"You were epic out there, you were like kill, kill, kill," Dusty made stabbing motions with her hands like she was wielding a sword.
"Dude you went into charging into a fight to save Maribelle without even questioning it, and you told me you hated Maribelle.
"I did that with borrowed power. I can't do anything with my own power. If I didn't have any of this power I wouldn't be able to do that. I was beat by Aurion Zacks, The most powerful of my characters. He is a hero, who became a god. His galeforce attack would level a army in a battle," I looked away from Erin.
"Isn't galeforce a ability that lets you move twice in battle," Dusty looked confused.
"Not in that series," I gave a sigh that could make Cordelia jealous. Then I felt a giant slap. I turned my head and looked at the furious face of Erin.
"So you're going to just whine here, about how you're so weak? You feel you can't do anything on your own power. Then get stronger, and do something with your own power. Don't wallow in your own self-doubt. Get your own strength, and become the hero you dream to be. If you start running, you aren't going to stop," Erin glared at me. Something about the words got to went quiet again, and the seconds flew up. A minute, two, thirty, they all just went by. I started to chuckle.
"You're right. I can't doubt myself. I have to stand on my own power. I might not be wicked fast like Quick-step. I might not be a bloody spartan like Percival, but I'm me. I'm a brave kid, who never will back down, and I'm stubborn as hell.
"Good to hear you're back Nighty," Dusty bounced on the my bed.
'Why do you call me got some information you guys might wanna know straight from the mouth of Kami," I pulled myself up, so I was in a sitting position.
"Cause it seems like a good name for you. You're like a knight,"Dusty smiled brightly.
"So Kami told me several things. One. The white patch person, and Tactician knight was Kami. They apparently just Kami taking as form that we are most comfortable with," I looked at them.
"That explains why I made a deal with a bar of chocolate," Dusty looked away and man I wanna know that story.
"So we are made a deal with Kami, because we made a wish. We have to complete an oath. Each of our oaths are different, our counterparts have something to do with the oath. I've we have to beat our counterparts to complete the oath, but we can only do that when we come close to completing our oath," I curled my fingers into a fist. I couldn't tell them what Kami said. That no matter what timeline we were in, Grima won. Kami said we would make it so Grima loses, and well Grima gonna get pwned.
"I hope my oath, was killing that man. He was a madman," Noah started playing Gerudo Valley again. The look on his face was one of that said he didn't wanted to talk anymore. Erin looked over at me, and I knew we came to the same conclusion. Noah must have faced his counterpart, and it wasn't a good thing,
"Well Dusty and I will let you guys get your rest. The Shepherds are moving out to move the exalt at 8 a.m," Erin grabbed Dusty and walked out of the room. I lied back in my bed. I wonder what my oath could be? I looked over at Noah. He kept playing his guitar.
"Hey Noah," I sat back up into a sitting positions.
"Yeah," He looked at me.
"Can you teach me how to play guitar?" I sat quiet.
"Yeah," Noah came over to me, and placed the guitar in my hands. "Just take good care of the guitar. Its a loan from Liv. I gotta give it back," Noah glared at me.
"I didn't mean it like right now," I sat back in surprise. I wrapped my hand around the guitar's neck. It was fun to have a guitar in my hands again.
"Why not? We've got time. You're not going to go to sleep right now. Its 7pm," Noah pointed out.
"Alright," I held the guitar carefully. Hey, he said it was a loan. I gotta be careful with someone's else stuff. Noah showed me a couple of chords, and I kept playing until it was finally time for me, and Noah to go to bed.
Author's note: So yeah. I should have the next chapter soon. I hope this chapter you all found very interesting. So how about review, and I'll try to get the next chapter done as quick as I can.
Stay calm, and you're the tactician. Words I live by~The Tactician Knight
