Chapter 10: the dates part 4: Sora and Ruby
(Celebration is in the air as team STRV have become beacon students and professor ozpin is talking to Sora personally)
Ozpin: (smiling) congratulations once again to your team Sora and very impressive bouts between the four of you.
Sora: (shrugs) it's what we do professor.
Ozpin: (looks at him seriously for a moment) be careful here sora... not only you must look out for the heartless but the Grimm as well.
Sora: (raises an eyebrow) Grimm?
Ozpin: (brings an image of an Beowolf) here is one of the Grimm seen mostly seen. These Grimm are creatures of destruction and can be drawn out by emotions of negativity.
Sora: (thinks a bit) they sound like heartless beckoning from darkness and all but, less threatening though.
Ozpin: (raises an eyebrow in shock) oh? How so Sora?
Sora: (puts his hands behind his head) well... From what I heard from Ven These Grimm only have a purpose to destroy only this world and rid it of life while the heartless want to destroy multiple worlds and the universe plus they always appear when there is darkness so that war never ends while the Grimm sounds like they can be stopped for good.
Ozpin: (looks down) so... As long as darkness exists this battle... will never end. (Looks at Sora with concern) But, when will your own journey be over?
(Ruby looks at Sora talking to Ozpin smiling softly then starts to run towards them as sora summoned the kingdom key)
Sora: (holding the kingdom key) well as long as I still can wield the keyblade or if it still needs me... I don't think this journey is ending anytime soon professor.
Ozpin: (nods) I see but, after seeing your combat Skills, you capable of handling both situations however I must wonder... Were you taught to fight like that?
Sora: (chuckles) actually... I was self taught in combat. When the heartless arrived in my home near two years ago and I just got the keyblade when I was just 14 no less
Ruby: (in shock overhearing the explanation) w-what?! You learned how to fight like that in only a year?!
Ozpin: (smiles) normally, you wouldn't be allowed in beacon until a year more but... One again your a special case just as ms. Rose is... A case of Deja vu if I've ever seen one.
Sora: (pops up with his eyes wide open) what?! Y-you're f-fifteen?!
Ruby: (puts her hands on her hips and smiles proudly) that's right the youngest of beacon entry (thinks about Sora's age) make that tied for youngest...
Sora: (thinks more) actually it's a three way tie for youngest in beacon.
Ozpin: (raises an eyebrow) a third one Sora?
Sora: (nods) yep Roxas and I are the same age.
(Roxas hears his name and runs over and Weiss goes after him)
Roxas: (puts his arm on Sora) that's true I'm 15 as well.
Weiss: (overheard Roxas) w-wait your 15 years old?
Roxas: (looks at Weiss) yeah I am... Pretty cool huh?
Weiss: (in shock) that's incredible! you able to fight like that at such a young age! Who's your master and will he give me lessons to improve.
Sora: (rubs his head) actually... All members of team STRV except Ven and Terra are self taught.
Ruby and Weiss: w-what?!
Ozpin: (folds his arms) anymore you wish to explain?
Sora: (shrugs) it's gonna be a long story.
(Ruby looks at the clock and starts to panic)
Ruby: (grabs Sora's hand) sorry professor Ozpin another time we have to go now!
Sora: (looks confused) wait what do you-(before he spoke ruby used her semblance and bolted out the arena with Sora in hand) whoa! Not again!
(Ruby was running as fast as she could to get to vale as fast as she could but Sora had a different plan and summoned the kingdom key and impales it in the ground halting ruby)
Ruby: (still panicking) we gotta go Sora!
Sora: (still holding the keyblade) hold on ruby calm down for a bit.
Ruby: (rubbing her head and blushing in embarrassment) sorry it's just there's a weapon expo I want to go see and it's gonna end in a couple of hours and (pulls out two tickets) I got these tickets for the both of us unless... (Starts getting upset) You don't want to go.
Sora: (smiles) of course I'll go ruby besides I did promise to go on a date with you.
Ruby: (blushing and turns away) you remembered your promise after all this just happened?
Sora: (grabs Ruby and begins to carry her bridal style) how could I forget! I've been looking forward to this so hang on!
(Ruby holds on to Sora's neck blushing more as a pink aura surrounded them and with his keyblade in hand Sora at high speed jumps up and is seems that he was gonna hit a tree but he used his keyblade to hook the tree branch and swings in a loop and at the bottom of the loop he let go gaining momentum and going higher)
Vale, remnant
(The two were still up in the air as Sora was talking to ruby)
Sora: ok then ruby where is the weapons expo?
Ruby: (looks at the building) it's to the right over there!
Sora: (looks at the dome building) ok got it!
(Sora lands on a rooftop and begins running fast and high jumps and does an aerial dodge to propel forward then Sora glows pink again and jumped off a roof to see a lamp post and immediately thought to hook his keyblade to the top and swing off for momentum then sees the expo building and a light pole and this time swings and hooks on the side spinning like a top and landed in front of the expo center without a hitch)
Sora: (looks at ruby with her eyes closed) we're here you can let go now.
Ruby: (opens her eyes in shock that they are already here) wow... that. was. awesome! Sora you're incredible!
Sora: (smirks) just an ability I recently picked up to get us here pretty fast.
Ruby: it felt you just motioned with the flow of wind!
Sora: (rubs his head) that's my ability "flow-motion" it allows me to have a faster means of travel in rather big worlds.
Ruby: (smirks) you're just full of surprises aren't you? Any way lets go inside.
Sora: (nods) yeah.
(The two of them go inside the expo center and ruby's eyes just looks in wonder while Sora looks at ruby smiling as he has never seen her so happy before)
Ruby: (points at the staff booth and then taps Sora's shoulder) we should start there.
Sora: (nods) ok then... Lead the way.
(Ruby takes Sora's hand and starts moving forward to the staff booth where they see bow staffs of different colors and mechanical abilities)
Ruby: (points to the red staff) take a look at that one it seems to be a splitter mod staff and can become pompous when they split or chain chucks or... or-
Sora: (raises an eyebrow) you seem to really like weapons don't you?
Ruby: (looks at Sora with shining eyes) of course I do! I'm always fascinated by how they can be versatile in any situation but, you gotta be careful when choosing a weapon as they have difficulty levels to master and use depending on fighting style.
Sora: (wonders about a question) what about your scythe?
Ruby: (pulls out a bag and presses a button to transform it) my "crescent rose" is my personal weapon I made at signal academy before coming to beacon.
Sora: (rubs his head) you made your weapon that's pretty cool!
Ruby: (pushed a button and the scythe transforms to a sniper) it's also a high impact, customizable sniper rifle.
Sora: (raises an eyebrow)...
Ruby: (smiles) it's also a gun. Which can fire normal bullets or can be modded with dust.
Sora: (nods) not bad! And you call me versatile... Well my keyblade can change forms as well.
Ruby: (looks at Sora and folds her hands in a pleaded position) really! Can I see a transformation please!
(Before Sora had the chance to change his weapon, a person from the booth approached him)
Booth owner: excuse me. I was wondering if you would like to test out my latest staff in a combat demonstration?
Sora: (rubs his chin) I don't know...
Ruby: (jumps up in happiness) Sora! Go for it please! (Gives him the puppy dog eyes and pout) for me?
Sora: (sighs) ok then... (Turns to the booth owner) alright... I'll do it! but... (Takes off his jacket and shirt but keeps his crown necklace and turns to ruby) Can you hold these?
Ruby: (looking at the half naked Sora blushing hard and takes the gear) s-sure but why?
Sora: just to get a better effectiveness to use a staff it has been a while.
Booth owner: (hands him a red staff) this is our newest model the XJ0461 custom staff "the shifter" (points to the front and back of the staff) pull here and you can transform it into a chain staff extending reach and twist the front part to the right to activate the mini blaster setting or twist it left to activate a high frequency spear mod. Also heads up the same functionality works on the bottom stick as well.
(Sora looks at the red staff and sees a silver flame ring on the top and bottom resembling his wisdom form symbol and sees a black diamond pattern all around the staff)
Sora: (nods) ok got it!
(The staff owner leads Sora to a stage as he ready's himself for the demonstration and ruby gets a front row seat)
Booth owner: (goes near a microphone) ladies and gentlemen... The demonstration of the shifter staff will now begin as our tester will see if this staff will meet your hunter or huntress needs (points to Sora) young man you may begin when ready.
Sora: (takes the mic and gets nervous) hey everyone... So I'm Sora and I'm uh... You tester for the evening and... Well honestly I'm not good with staffs but I'm gonna give it a try.
Bgm: drowning by natewantstobattle
(Sora starts by swinging the staff slowly left and right until he gets the hang of it then starts twirling it in the center of his body faster than before afterwards kicks the staff in the air then jumps with one foot and spins sideways in mid air catching the staff then landed on both feet did a combat roll into a lunge then sticks the staff on the ground to jump up and hang off the top balancing with one finger for 10 seconds afterwards slides down the staff like a firemen pole except hooking one leg to the pole and the other leg is stuck out and spun to get down which made the girls whistle and cheer while ruby looks on with jealousy on her face not for Sora's skill cause she's nor surprised of his ability but, for other girls just cheering for him.)
Sora: (bows forward) it's not over yet everyone! (Pushed a button on stage to bring up 10 targets)
(Sora twists the staff's top and bottom to to the right and pulls them to use the chain and blaster modes at the same time. The middle part of the staff goes on Sora's back to adjust the weapon and finds the fire button and shoots the first target then activated "flow-motion" to get to higher ground and shoots 10 shots causing him to spin with the momentum plus hits the targets)
Ruby: (smiles and waves at Sora then places her hands to the side of her mouth) Show off!
(Sora deactivated flow-motion and landed in front of 5 metal statues of Beowolf Grimm then he put the staff back together and twists the flame rings to the left and activated the hi frequency spear mod on both ends of the staff then smirked a bit)
Sora: ok everyone... Watch this! (Waves his finger at ruby) miss may I have my gear for a moment?
Ruby: (stands up) ok! Heads up!
(Sora jumps and puts on his suit in mid air then lands on his feet)
Sora: (winks at ruby which makes her blush more) this is for you. (A white aura surrounded Sora once again just like his exam battle). LETS GO!
(The reflega explosion sends the statues upward and Sora is now in a blue suit with blue and black flames on his pants and yellow ribbons on the middle of his pants and gloves which are now blue and Black then out of nowhere starts skating without the need for ice)
Ruby: (jumps out of her seat both blushing and excited) wow. So that's the wisdom form!
Sora: (spinning himself and the staff) Aeroga!
(A tornado surrounded the five statues and sends them up so Sora jumps and spins around slashing the first statue then rapidly front flips up to cut the second statue but to get the final three he had a plan)
Sora: (raises the staff and spins) Gather! ,burst firaga!
(A magnega spell is cast levitating the statues then a fire orb surrounded by two flame rings is launched at the magnega spell causing a gravitational pull of the statue similar to a mini sun pulling the statues in and disintegrated them)
Sora: (points to the mini sun) time for the finale!
(Sora Activates flowmotion to reach his mini sun and sticks the staff inside it with a touch of a firework spell launching the orb up and then gives a beautiful fire works display however the Sparks were gonna hit the crowd but Sora was prepared as his flowmotion plus wisdom form let him skate on the Sparks creating stardust which one the crowd even more and as he gets back on stage his flowmotion and wisdom form vanish seeing Sora in his normal form he bows as the crowd gets on their feet after seeing the performance)
Booth owner: (clapping) that was the most incredible staff work I've ever seen! Seems the weapon has chosen you my boy so why don't you keep it?
Sora: (shakes his head as he attempted to give the staff back) no thanks I'm good.
Booth owner: (pushes his hand) no no, I insist young one keep it I mean it is a complete model.
Sora: (smiles while looking at the staff) well... Alright, why not!
Ruby: (gets on stage and grabs Sora's left arm cuddling it) you were incredible Sora!
Sora: (looks at ruby blushing) w-well thanks Ruby, I try.
Ruby: (kisses his cheek and blushes) you're always incredible Sora. So that's not new... (Looks away from Sora) It's just you.
Sora: (stunned by the kiss for a bit then chuckles) w-well um...
Booth owner: (smiles) you're girlfriend here is right you're something special kid.
Sora: (blushing and turn away from ruby) uh-uh no! W-We're not dating!
Ruby: (gets a bit upset and whispers to herself) I wish we were.
Sora: (raises an eyebrow) what did you say?
Ruby: (panicking and blushing) uh-uh nothing at all Sora I was uh... (Looks at another booth) l-looking for the scythe booth and there it is so... okgottagobye! (Ruby runs to the scythe booth just to get away from Sora to calm down from that exchange)
Booth owner: (raises an eyebrow) huh? That's too bad... The both of you look perfect for each other.
Sora: (raises an eyebrow smiling) you think so?
Booth owner: I know so.
(Sora runs over to the scythe booth to meet up with Ruby however, he sees her clutching her head)
Sora: (getting concerned) ruby? Are you ok?
(Ruby opens her eyes to see someone very familiar to her and runs out of the expo center at super speed)
Ruby: (running towards a special place to her) it can't be can it? Mom?
Sora: (looking for ruby outside of the expo center) RUBY! HELLO! RUBY!
(Sora Closes his eyes and feels a bright light and another one for some reason)
Sora: (opens his eyes fast) what was that?! Any way I know where to go!
(Sora lets loose his speed and hones in on the two light sources and runs as super sonic speed to see ruby)
Cliffside forest, remnant
(Ruby gets to the grave where her mother is buried)
Ruby: (looking around) mom! Mom!
(Ruby closes her eyes and sees her mother in front of her)
Ruby's heart
(Ruby looks around where she is and then looks down at a sort of mural she is walking on with her picture in the middle surrounded by her teammates and friends then moves forward to see another mural floor this time she sees a picture of her mother and her together with yang and her parents together as well finally she goes higher up to see a mural in pink of her and Sora holding each other close as she blushes then looks up with tears in her eyes to see what she thought was impossible)
Summer: (smiles) My dear sweet child.
*meanwhile in the real world*
(Sora runs to see ruby closing her eyes in front of a grave then Kneels down to read an inscription on it)
Sora: here lies... (Widens his eyes) Summer... Rose! Mother, friend and loving wife. (Rubs his head) oh... Ruby I didn't know this... I'm gonna make her happy and I know just the way... Let's hope it works
(Sora stands up and hugs ruby from behind and closes his eyes and sees ruby hugging with what looks like an older version of her)
Sora: (looks around) whoa... I'm inside of ruby's heart and... It feels (begins to blush) so warm.
Ruby: (turns to see Sora and hugs him too) sora your here...
Sora: (hugs back) I was so worried about you... I looked everywhere.
Ruby: (blushes more then grabs Sora's Hand and walks towards her mother) this is my mom Summer Rose.
Sora: (sees summer rose and smiles) hi... Ms. Rose... I'm Sora.
Summer Rose: (smiles at Sora then looks at ruby) it's an honor to meet you at last Sora... I have confessions to make to the both of you.
Sora: (raises an eyebrow) what is it?
Summer Rose: (turns to Sora first) this isn't the first I saw you Sora.
Ruby: (raises an eyebrow) wait... (Turns to Sora) you met my mom before?
Sora: (opens his eyes) no I haven't this is a first.
Summer Rose: (turns to ruby) remember the stories I would tell you when you were little?
Ruby: (smiles instantly) of course mom! I love those stories when I was little! (Looks down) I wonder how he's doing?
Summer Rose: (smiles at Sora) I think he's doing just fine.
Sora: who are you talking about?
Ruby: (looks at Sora) you see... My mom would always tell me stories based on visions about a boy who would go around the world giving hope to many people through light. And I... (Blushes a bit looking away from Sora) fell in love with the main character
Sora: (droops down) oh... I see *sigh*
Summer Rose: (smiles and raises her hand and rose petals begin to fall) maybe this will make some sense. Don't be fooled children these petals are from my semblance to its full potential.
Ruby: (gets confused) isn't your semblance like mine but why pay attention to the petals?
Summer Rose: (giggles) I guess you don't remember that detail at all. (Waves her arm to the petals) These petals show me moving images of any world beyond our reach which is the source of your stories ruby. But, (gathered certain petals) the one story that interested me most was of the boy who can save world from the darkness.
(Summer made an air circle creating a sort of portal projector and that portal is showing two young boys on a beach which got ruby to see her love for "the boy" while Sora had a close look then realized something so he had to ask)
Sora: (points to the silver haired boy) is that the one your in love with?
Ruby: (shakes her head) nope not him (points to the brown haired boy) it's him I'm in love with.
(Sora looked at the little brown haired boy and backed away in shock)
Sora: (points first at the brown haired boy) t-that's me! When I was 4!
Ruby: (waves her hand in a shooing motion) what. there is no way you're that boy!
Summer Rose: (looks at ruby with a giggle coming on) I wish he was joking ruby but, turns out that it's true.
Ruby: (still in denial) nope! there is no way that boy is you Sora!
Sora: (steps forward cause he gets an idea) ms. Rose can you fast forward through the visions 10 years later?
Summer Rose: (nods) very well
(Summer swipes her left arm to the right and the vision changes to a fourteen year old Sora in his original outfit from kingdom hearts and is shorter plus with a younger riku and younger kairi fixing a raft.)
Sora: (puts his shoulder on ruby) look at "the boy" closely, then look at me, what do you see that's similar?
(Ruby looks at the crown necklace on the boy's neck then looks at Sora's necklace with a high amount of shock)
Ruby: (in shock) T-THAT REALLY IS YOU!
Sora: (crosses his arms) I told you so! That's me when I was fourteen and the previous version was me when I was four.
Ruby: (looking at the vision) b-but how did someone like that little boy become you?!
Sora: (scratched his head) I guess sleeping for a year really does make a difference huh?
Summer Rose: (turns to ruby) when I died that night, in the emerald forest my heart's light was spread throughout the worlds roses allowing me to the stories of all the worlds and the progression within them but, you Sora have the most incredible stories... Your an incredible young man.
Sora: (looks down) I'm not that special if anything... (Smiles weakly) I'm just happy to be part of something bigger. (Summons the kingdom key) I was never meant to hold this... To become a bearer and to this day that doubt still lingers inside me.
Summer Rose: (puts her hands on Sora's shoulders) perhaps when you see these... It shows you're meant to be this story's hero.
Bgm: let me try by natewantstobattle
(Summer waves her arm again to fast forward again showing current Sora in the land of dragons facing the storm rider by going underneath it and slashing its belly like a mad man and sends it up with three strikes and lands with his keyblade outstretched and one hand on the ground then switches the image to hallow bastion and a large valley containing 1000 heartless which he slaughtered all of them alone next shows his epic duel with sepheroth showing nothing but potential for the young warrior but, the last few showed his unification duel with Roxas, reunited with his friends kairi and riku and defeated the leader of organization XIII and finally his incredible battle with sans, freeing him from the darkness saving the underground and everything in it then shows all the bonds he has forged from sans, papyrus, toriel, Ryu, Ken, Ratchet and Clank, Naruto, hinata, Sakura, Sasuke, Riku, King Mickey, Queen Minnie, Axel, Namine, Roxas, Ven, Terra, yen Sid, Dante, Nero, Cole McGrath, Nathan drake, Dipper, Mabel, Corrin, Bayonetta, neku, stitch, quasi moto, Cinderella, Mulan, belle, the beast, Tarzan, jack sparrow, jack skellington, simba, timon, pumbaa, Nala, Ariel, Alladin, jasmine, Genie, Ash Ketchum and his friends from kanto to kalos, Sonic and his friends, Luffy, Sabo, Ace, the straw hats, spider man and the avengers, Kirito and Asuna, Jak and Daxter, Link and Zelda, captain falcon, Rick wheeler, Cid, aeirth, yuffie, Leon, auron, tifa, cloud, Hayner, Pence, olette, hiro and baymax, Alice, Peter Pan, Wendy, Steven and Connie, garnet, amethyst, pearl, peridot, lapis lazuli, Greg, Hercules, Meg, Phil, Pinocchio, Ichigo, orihime, goku, sly cooper and his gang, snake, raiden, Tron, Donald, Goofy, Yugi, jaden, yusei, Yuma, shara, merlina, the justice league, the X men, Kairi and Ruby)
Summer Rose: (looks Sora in the eyes) do you still have doubts Sora?
Sora: (smiles and rubs his eyes) I did at first but now... I know that I been given the opportunity to fight and I'm gonna stand my ground and fight for everyone!
Ruby: (smiles and starts tearing up) if Sora could do that for those worlds then... He can... no, he will bring remnant to the light! But he's not alone he'll have his team and my team as well. But, now I see why I loved the main character so much... Because of his determination and his will to never give up no matter what. That's why... (Sees the boy growing up into Sora) I love you, Sora.
Summer Rose: (looks at her hand fading) it is time for me to leave. Good bye for now my dear sweet child i love you with everything I have.
Ruby: (grabs Sora's arm) see you soon, mom and I love you too.
Summer rose: Sora... Stay determined and Never give up so, this world will be saved.
Sora: (nods) I won't give up no matter what!
Summer rose: (whispers to Sora's ear) and Sora... I want to take care of my daughter and love her as much as she loves you.
(With those final words, Summer Rose fades a leaving Sora and Ruby alone as they begin to wake up)
Sora: (raises his keyblade) I promise ms. Rose... Whatever it takes.
(Ruby opens her eyes to see arms around her and blushes madly as she sees these are Sora's arms)
Ruby: (fidgeting and blushing harder) s-Sora please let go of me.
Sora: (just wakes up and shakes his head) why should I let go? (Moves to her right ear smiling) I love you, ruby.
Bgm: kingdom hearts always on my mind
Ruby: (starts tearing up and smiles) Sora... I love you too. At first it was the boy but, turns out it was you all along. All this time I wanted to meet him and fall in love with him for real not just by sight and his actions but, his heart to jump in no matter what. I kinda hoped we would be like this... Just this (Holds on to Sora's hands even tighter) Please don't let me go ok?
Sora: I don't plan to... I'll hold on as long as I'm still breathing.
Ruby: (blushes) turn me around... Sora.
(Sora turns ruby to face him and she jumps up places her hands on his neck and kisses his lips which shocked Sora but then he accepts it and deepens the kiss as rose petals fly around them and Summer Rose is happy knowing her daughter finally found her hero)
Ruby: (following Sora's lips as they kiss more) I can't believe that I'm kissing Sora right now! My heart feels like it's gonna pop! And more importantly... He loves me! My hero loves me!
Sora: (guiding the kiss between him and ruby) man... What a first day first some new friends, an awesome school and now... This! Sure Kairi and I kissed first but, kissing ruby... Just feels right.
(Although they wanted to kiss forever, they do need air so 5 minutes in and they stop the kiss to breathe)
Ruby: (taking short breaths) that... felt... Like a dream.
Sora: (looks to the sky) well... It's said the a scattered dream is like a far off memory.
Ruby: (raises an eyebrow) what does that mean?
Sora: (smiles) it means that dreams and memories are more linked than we originally perceive them to be. So for our case... It's like we met before through Summer's visions and I did have a feeling I was being watched all this time but... Now I know it was you I'm just... Happy that you were looking at me.
Ruby: (blushing) well... I do love you so... Why wouldn't I but... (Starts getting depressed) I was worried about you ending up with that red haired girl in the visions my mom would show me thinking I never stood a chance to see or be with you but, like you I never gave up and now... (Closes her eyes and smiles) we're here sharing this moment... Your here with me and I'll never let go.
Sora: (nods) yeah... I'll always be with you don't worry about that and... When Kairi meets you I'm gonna tell her one thing about you.
Ruby: (smiles and looks at Sora) oh and what's that gonna be?
Sora: (puts her arm on ruby) this is my girlfriend... Ruby Rose and I'll always love her.
Ruby: you promise? (Puts her hands on her hips) and no backing out got it!?
Sora: (smiles) I promise... Now we better get going ruby. (Grabs and carries her bridal style) hold on tight.
Ruby: (snuggles into Sora's chest) ok... I'm ready to go Sora.
(Sora activated his flowmotion and jumps forward towards beacon academy not as friends but as distant lovers found from a scattered dream and far off memory)
To be continued.
