Chapter 10: Caught in the middle

Darkness. That was all that Tory could see.

"Tory was it? Where are we?" Alice asked scared.

"I don't know Alice, but just hold onto my hand and stay close no matter what, okay?" Tory replied. Alice grabbed onto Tory's hand and they both started walking through the darkness. They reached a wall… no, a door and Tory opened it. Peeking outside, she saw a hallway and took Alice with her down it. Upon reaching the end, she saw some people there. A witch, pirate, a big walking bag and an octopus.

"What the…who are these people?" Tory asked herself. The witch looked up from the orb that they were watching and gave a wicked smile that seemed evil.

"It seems like our visitors are here." She said facing the hallway where Tory and Alice are hiding.

"Darn it… come on Alice, let's go and keep quiet." Tory instructed with no panic in her voice pulling Alice along the corridor. Behind them, they could hear sinful laughter echoing in the halls. Turning around a corner, she bumped into somebody. When she looked up, however, she and Alice's voice were muffled by the hands of the person. A while later, Tory woke up to see that she was in the middle of the floor surrounded by the villains.

Meanwhile, the group takes the Gummi Ship to the Olympus Coliseum. In the Lobby, Sora talks to a goat.

"Um..." Sora started.

"Good timing. Give me a hand, will ya? Move that pedestal over there for me. I gotta spruce this place up for the games." The goat said. Sora tries to push the pedestal.

"It weighs a ton!" He says to himself. He then returned to the goad.

"It's way too heavy!"

"What? Too heavy? Since when have you been such a little-" The goad turned to see Sora and the gang. "Oh. Wrong guy. What're you doing here? This here's the world-famous Coliseum-heroes only!" The goat then moved closer to Donald. "And I got my hands full preparing for the games. So run along, pip-squeaks. Look, it's like this. Heroes are coming from all over to fight ferocious monsters right here in the Coliseum."

"You got heroes standing right in front of you." Sora says pointing to the group.

"Yup. He's a real hero chosen by the Keyblade!" Goofy says putting his hands on Sora's shoulders.

"And we're heroes, too." Donald stated.

"Hero? That runt?" The goat asked. He then starts laughing.

"What's so funny? I've fought a bunch of monsters!" Sora says angrily.

"Hey, if you can't even move this...you can't call yourself...a hero!" The goat then tries to push the pedestal.

"Okay, so it takes more than brawn. Well, well, let's see what you can do. I'm Philoctetes, just call me Phil."

"This trial is tough. You got what it takes? You ready?"

"I'm ready!" Sora answered.

"Okay, kid. Let's see what you've got." Sora alone starts the barrel smashing time trial. After Sora successfully completed the trial before time runs out...

"You know, you ain't bad, kid." Phil says to Sora

"Looks like I'm headed for the games." Sora replied.

"Afraid not."

"Why not?" Sora asked disappointed.

Tory looked around, panicking yet calm.

"Who are you people?" She asked with a glare to each of them. They laughed at her question.

"Who are we? We are the villains who were watching you this whole time!" The…. Bag? Yeah, the bag said. Tory looked at him, er…. At least she thinks it's a him.

"You're a bag. A talking bag… wow now I've really gone insane. Come on Tory, wake up from this dream already." She said knocking her head with her hand.

"You are not dreaming, girl!" The witch snapped angrily at her.

"Uh huh, yeah, right. So… why am I here?" Tory asked without emotion. The villains looked slightly surprised at her lack of emotions.

"Tell me girl-" the witch started but was interrupted.

"My name's Tory! T-O-R-Y not girl you stupid witch." Tory spat back at her venomously.

"Alright then, Tory, tell me, why do you lack emotions so much. Usually, people would be scared right about now but you, you're not. Why?" the witch asked.

"What's your name old hag." Tory asked rudely.

"It's Maleficent to you!" she shouted.

"Right, uh, I don't know about the emotions stuff, this is how I always am. I'm a laid back kind of person who doesn't take people seriously so DEAL with it old hag." Tory replied back. The other villains laughed.

"I like this girl." A girl with blue flamed hair and a blue like body said. "She also has spunk too."

"She could be useful. Just make her partners with that other boy, Riku." Suggested a dude with a very long cape and a snake staff. Tory glared at him hard.

"You know Riku? Silver hair, aqua eyes, about half a head taller than me?"

"Yes, we do know him. In fact, he is upstairs resting right now. You can go see him, if you want." Tory eyed her with suspicion.

"What's the catch?" She asked.

"Why, nothing my dear. Just join forces with the darkness." Maleficent replied. Tory had an anime vein popping out of her head.

"You call that nothing?! That choice can decide where I GO in my life OLD HAG!" Tory replied angrily.

"Two words: You guys ain't heroes." Phil said to the surprised Sora.

"Come on!" Sora plead.

"Wanna become a real hero? Start by mastering this spell." Phil gave Sora a new spell. Sora attained the power of thunder. Sora's group goes outside of the Lobby.

"Well, well, well… look what we have here. Maybe the keyblade brat needs assistance." Hades, the blue hair person mumbled to himself. He then looked at the fuming girl in the circle behind him wanting to see Riku but Maleficent wouldn't let her unless she took the deal.

"Hey girl, do yo-" Hades started.

"IT'S TORY GOD DAMMIT!! WHY IS IT SO HARD FOR YOU PEOPLE TO SAY IT?!"

"Anyway, TORY, do you wanna come with me to see the keyblade brat, Sora or something?" He asked.

"Oh so you get HIS name right…" Tory thought to herself but replied with a, "Sure." She replied and was about to leave.

"I want you to know, girl, that if you stay with that boy then we will have you go against Riku and you will be weak. But, if you join us, then you will have eternal power!" Tory hesitated, then continued to go with hades, thinking about the deal.

"Do I want power and stay with Riku? Or should I stay with Sora and travel with him?" Tory thought to herself when they went through the portal of darkness. Maleficent, however, is chuckling to herself evilly, thinking,

"That girl will come with us. After all, if she wants to find the other half of her heart then she will do as we say…"

I just realize that i made tory have anger issues in this chapter... no, she doesn't have any. she just hates meleficent 'cause she doesn't get her name right and tory hates being called 'girl' 'cause that brings up old memories. so yeah, thanks for reading!! oh, and i also started another story, it's on naruto this time though, and it's sasukeoc... although i need to add on that since it only has two chapters since i started yesterday...

but thanks again for reading!
