Chapter 11 – Converse Make Excellent Running Shoes.
The Road Outside My House, Is Paved With Good Intentions.
It was a Saturday morning, School had returned a couple of days ago, and Kairi was busy doing her Business Studies Assignment. Her holidays hadn't been all that exciting, she had gone to the movies, slept over friends houses, had done everything a normal teenager would do in their holidays. But now it was Year 11, the time where homework and Assignments were coming faster than air through the Lungs. Of course, it don't help that Kairi had her Guardian Angel playing his guitar in the background, wearing his usual getup with a maroon shirt and Converse to match it, no matter how good he was.
Hired A Construction Crew, Cause It's hell On The Engine
Kairi finally went insane as she dropped her pencil and turned to Sora.
"Sora, I know you are bored, but could you please be quiet, I'm trying to get this homework done, not all of us have the ability to magic up our assignments in five seconds,"
Sora finally stopped and put his Guitar back down.
"First of all, I don't "magic up" anything, I simply bend the fabric of reality into my will to produce anything I want, and second, ill have you know I have never ever used my Angelic abilities to cheat, all the homework was done on my own time, using nothing but a 4H pencil and my own hands.
"Sure, you used your hands to make the 4H pencil do the work for you while you play your guitar," Kairi snickered.
Sora rolled his eyes, "Please, if I was going to cheat, I would've done something more interesting than make my pencil write my assignment for me,"
Kairi merely rolled her eyes as she picked up her pencil and began to write more about the how Midnight making a deal with Japan in 1956 would make Midnight the most Powerful city on Earth.
Sora looked around for something to do, before he pulled out his modified iPhone and began to play around with it, before saying, "You know, I've realized that this screen is too small,"
"Yeah, well, what you gonna do," Kairi muttered as she.
"Well, I could use this new app I created," Sora smiled.
Kairi stopped her writing, and looked at Sora, "What app?"
Sora smiled, "This App," And he showed her his iPhone, with an App that looked like the home button. Kairi looked at it for a second, before she gave him a pissed off face.
"iPad," Kairi merely stated, to Which Sora merely smiled and pressed it.
At once, the phone grew, several sizes, bigger and bigger until it was about the size of an A4 piece of paper. Sora smiled as he showed it to her, but Kairi, who was in no mood, just continued to stare at him with a pissed off look on her face.
"What?" Sora said innocently, and Kairi merely rolled her eyes as she began to work on her homework again, and Sora merely shrugged his shoulders as he began to play a game on his new iPad.
Suddenly the phone began too vibrate on her table. Kairi was shocked that it had gone off, and looked at the caller ID, seeing it was an unknown number. She looked at Sora, and immediately after he returned his phone to normal size, answered, "Ollete,"
"Why would she be calling me?" Kairi asked, before she pressed the green button, and held her hiptop to her ear.
"Hello?" Kairi said, to here sniffling from the other side.
"Hey Kairi," Ollete said, and Kairi could instantly tell that she had been crying.
"Ollete, is everything alright?" Kairi asked, to Which Sora had all of his attention focused on her.
"I wish they were Kairi, but I have something to tell you," Olette blubbered, and Kairi could hear the tears hit the ground.
"What? What is it? What's happened?" Kairi asked.
"Kairi, this morning, they found Hayner in a alleyway, his eyes hollow…he's been pronounced dead,"
And again, for the second time in her life, Kairi felt reality around her collapse.
Tears began to form in her eyes. Her breathing coming heavily, the same two words forming in her head, not fair. It wasn't fair that Yuna had been taken, but now Hayner as well. Two people, that Kairi had considered her best friends, gone, completely gone.
But the Situation seemed all wrong, she always thought when someone died, it would be dramatic, but she had been doing her homework when she heard about it, and it was then that she realized, that's how life was, that the people she cared about could be taken in any situation, at any time, with no warning whatsoever.
Kairi had been so lost in her thoughts that she had dropped her phone. However, when she looked up, she could see Sora with her phone to his ear.
"Ollete, Ollete, sweetheart, are you there? Yes, good, First of all let me say how sorry I am, next, and I know this is upsetting, but I need to know, where was his body found…the Alleyway behind the Betwixt&Between Bar, you are positive about that…ok, thank you very much Olette, and believe me, I am truly sorry,"
Sora hung up and reached for his own phone. He punched in a Number and held the phone to his ear. It wasn't long until he was talking again.
"Cid, I need a flame flare search in an alleyway of a teenage club known as the Betwixt&Between Bar…Large one, still hot…only made 4 hours ago…ok, I need the location of Hayner John Green…yes Cid, I realize he is deceased, where is his body…the Birth By Sleep Hospital…very well, thank you,"
Sora ended the phone call, and walked over to Kairi.
"Oh, My sweet Beautiful Kairi, I am so Sorry," Sora said, as she ran into his arms.
"Two people, Sora, two people who I knew very well, gone," Kairi choked into his shoulder.
"Kairi, if only I could tell you things go better from here," Sora said, a look of emotionless ness on his face.
"W-what do you-you mean," Kairi sobbed.
"I can't be sure until I look at his body, and for that I need to get into the Hospital," Sora stated, pulling away.
"I-im coming with you," Kairi wiped away her tears.
"Kairi, are you sure?" Sora asked her.
"I-I want to pay my re-respects," Kairi sniffled.
Sora stayed quiet for a moment, before he nodded, and said, "Come here,"
Kairi walked over to Sora and he grabbed her in a hug, "Hold on tight," He whispered, and Kairi felt his Wings wrap around her, and the spinning sensation she knew all to well. The Sounds, traffic lights, people talking, cars beeping their horns, sirens, elevators, and beeping sounds filled her ears, until she slowly came to a stop. Sora retracted his wings, but kept them up as Kairi took a step back and observed their location.
"Where are we?" Kairi asked.
"We are at the Birth By Sleep Hospital on the 14th Floor, and somewhere around here is Hayners body," Sora looked into one of the rooms closest to them.
"Wouldn't it be at the morgue?" Kairi asked.
"Oh, how I wish it was, Kairi, how I wish it was," Sora muttered as he looked into another room.
"Well where is he?" Kairi asked, wiping some tears away from her face.
Sora spun around, putting his hand through his brown bangs, thinking, before he said, "Give me a minute," And put his hands to his temple, twitching every now and then.
"No…not there…not their either…oh, god no…no…wait…nurse…doctor…" and then his Eyes sapped open, "Found him," and Sora took her hand and began to run, with Kairi right beside him.
"I don't get it, how come there isn't anyone questioning why we are here?" Kairi puffed.
"Well, obviously its because I'm in my Angelic form, because you have been hanging around Angels, some of their Aurora has rubbed of on you, and because they are being activated while I'm touching your hand in Angelic form, you instantly disappear from human sight," Sora said as they dodged one of the Doctors.
"Oh, right," Kairi said, as she quickly spun to the side to avoid one of the nurses.
Sora looked this way and that to try and find the room, looking at all the door numbers, sometimes closing his eyes to try and find someone conversing about him. Kairi didn't really notice most of the journey, but began to pay attention when Sora stopped in front of one of the ward doors.
"Kairi, we're here," Sora muttered, to which Kairi looked up to see a large metal door with the number 25 on it, and without so much as a warning, Sora pushed the doors open, withdrew his wings, and walked in, his halo disappearing along with his maroon converse as Kairi followed him.
They both stood in a medium sized room, with a couple of beds lined up against the wall, and in the middle, wearing only a pair of boxer shorts, lay Hayner, his eyes closed. The first thing Kairi noticed was that Hayner looked perfectly normal. His skin wasn't at all pale, in fact, it looked quite normal, In fact, to the untrained eye, Hayner would have looked like he was sleeping.
Fortunately, Sora did not have an untrained eye.
Sora swept over to Hayner, undoing the buttons on his jacket as he reached him, pulling out his glasses along the way. He began to sweep his eyes over the body, while Kairi slowly began to walk over to him. She watched as Sora's eyes slowly moved their way over his body. He picked up one of his hands, inspecting them.
"Kairi, feel his hands," Sora muttered, as he moved on to his feet. Kairi reached out her hand slowly, and brushed hers against his.
"Warm," Kairi muttered slowly, to which Sora muttered in agreement as he moved over to his shoulder, before he said, "Knew it,"
"What?" Kairi asked him.
"This was not done by human hands," Sora muttered.
"How can you tell?" Kairi once again asked.
"Well, look at him, He doesn't look pale, his temperature is normal, no sign of injury, no sign of loss of oxygen, by all accounts he should still be alive,"
"That's why hes not in the morgue," Kairi muttered slowly.
"Exactly, no use putting him in the morgue when they can't give a cause of death can they," Sora muttered.
"Is there anything that IS wrong with him?" Kairi asked.
"Ah, yes, well, now, that is the one thing that gave it away," Sora called Kairi over with his finger, and Kairi slowly made her way over towards Sora's side.
He pointed his finger at Hayners shoulder, and Kairi noticed there was a scar on his shoulder, no bigger than an inch. Sora moved his finger onto the scar, and pushed down hard onto it.
But nothing happened; Hayner looked exactly the same, as he had been all that time, however, Sora seemed to have found something.
"Oh, my," Sora said, taking off the glasses.
"What? What is it?" Kairi asked.
"This was…definitely…oh, Hayner, oh Hayner John Green, If you can here me, I am, so…so Sorry,"
Kairi had never seen Sora like this, No tears fell from his face, and yet, it looked like he was crying.
"Sora…what's wrong," Kairi asked.
"No one…no one should ever, ever go through what he has gone through," Sora shook his head.
"Sora…he hasn't changed," Kairi muttered slowly.
"Oh, but if you could see, see what has happened to him," Sora muttered, not taking his gaze off the body.
"What? What has happened?" Kairi asked, now squinting at the body, as if this would somehow change her view of Hayner.
"It's…Terrible, so very very…terrible," Sora muttered slowly.
"Why can't I see anything different?" Kairi asked him
"It's the Kinetic Supernatural Cancellation, this body is full of Demon Darkness, which, Like the Angelic Aurora that courses through my body, courses through the body of Demons…Hayner was killed by an over surge of Demon Darkness, Like a type of spirit that replaces the soul, and because that's what he looked like when he died, that's what he'll look like to human eyes…the only trace it leaves is a cut above the shoulder, which, when applied pressure to, reveals what his body truly looks like,"
"And what does it truly look like?" Kairi asked, and for the first time since they had entered the room, Sora looked at Kairi.
"No, Kairi, you can't, I wont let you see him…your brain would not be able to calculate this…you shouldn't…no one should…" Sora began stating, but was silenced as soon as Kairi spoke.
"Sora, I have a right to know what truly happened to Hayner,"
"But…" Sora began.
"Sora, you will allow me this," Kairi said firmly.
Sora stood there for a few moments, thinking it through, before he said very slowly, "Very well then, come over here,"
Kairi obeyed, and as soon as she was close enough, Sora placed his hands on her temple, and closed his eyes.
Immediately she began to feel a kind of electrical buzz go through her head. She felt the energy course through her brain. It was as if a function in her brain, like the function that made her talk or walk, was being unlocked. Finally the buzzing stopped, and when Kairi slowly turned around, she gasped.
Hayner was still there, except this time there was no calm expression on his face. His eyes were wide open, his mouth stuck in an open gasp. His skin pale as a ghost, but this wasn't the most terrifying feature. His entire stomach has been slashed open, and it's contents, organs, bones, everything was missing. The excess skin lay opened over the rest of his body. Kairi stared at it, not being able to scream or say anything; instead she buckled over, loosing consciousness.
When Kairi opened her eyes, Sora was standing over her, looking concerned. Kairi groaned as she looked to her side to see Sora's maroon socks, before she managed to pull herself up.
"I told you you wouldn't be able to handle it," Sora muttered, as he stood up. Kairi looked over to see Hayner back to his original state, and as she got a full look of Hayner, an image of Hayner's emptied corpse flashed through her head.
"Don't worry, that will get out of your mind when we leave the room," Sora assured her, and Kairi turned her head towards Sora, who was once again looking back at the corpse.
"But you…you can still see him," Kairi muttered, clearly shaken. Sora nodded his head, before he said, "All the time,"
They both looked at the body for a minute, before Sora gestured her out of the room. Sora took one more look of Hayner, before he turned his gaze and exited the room.
Kairi was leaning against the opposite wall when Sora exited the room. He began to pace the hallway up and down, running his hand through his think brown spiky hair, thinking.
"But, why? Why Hayner? What's so important about him? A Meal, that's the only thing I can think off…but, why bother placed Demon Darkness inside of him, what is the point…unless…"
Sora looked up and turned to Kairi, a look in his eye, like he was connecting the dots, slowly, the big picture forming inside his head.
"Yuna…and then Hayner…what have they got in common, nothing, they hardly know each other, I mean, ok, they go to the same school, but why them…nothing, nothing special, nothing different except…they're connected to you…oh, I've been thick, if we assume that Yuna was killed by Demonic activity, then everything fits…oh, god…he thought Yuna was one of you…and Hayner was a Guardian Angel…because he can sense something Angelic…maybe it's the eye's, Yuna's eyes, makes sense, demons are strong believers of sybolism, and Hayner…Hayner, why go after Hayner, what was so special about Hayner…wait a moment, during our first meeting, Roxas slapped hands with Hayner…Oh God, he must have transferred a small amount of Angelic Aurora, caused when he bumped his hand, transferring it into him, just a small amount, but enough to be caught by him…this proves that he doesn't know which one's are the princesses, hes just killing people who he can sense have Angelic Aurora,"
Sora had talked extremely fast during his train of thought, and it had taken Kairi all her concentration just to understand what he had said. Now understanding the meaning of his rant, that was a completely different story. Sora's look was now one of complete anger. His teeth gritting together, and a look of fire burned through his eyes.
"And now this make thinks…Clear, very clear, because NOW, Kairi Mary Faller there is no power in Heaven and Earth that will stop me," Sora snarled, and he began to walk away from door, followed by Kairi. However, they didn't get very far, when suddenly someone called out.
"OI, YOU TWO!"
Sora and Kairi turned their heads and saw a man dressed in a black uniform, with a golden badge hanging from his belt, and a pistol in his hand.
"Oh, crap," Sora muttered.
"Why would the police be here?" Kairi asked, as they both began to slowly move back.
"Well, obviously they believe that someone tried to kill Hayner, and what to arrest anyone who they believe may be involved, or, anyone who enters the room," Sora explained as the guard began to walk towards them.
"You two, against the wall now," The Guard Yelled, but Sora and Kairi continued walking backwards.
"What are we going to do?" Kairi said, looking at Sora.
"Well, usually I wouldn't mind getting caught and fucking around with police for a couple of hours before freeing myself, but now…well, I need to sort this out as soon as possible," Sora muttered, continuing to walk back, now a bit faster than they had been before. The Guard also began to pick up his pace.
"I never did tell you, did I," Sora stated, as he looked behind him, realizing the hallway with a left bend.
"Tell me what?" Kairi asked, still looking at the guard, and hearing his attempts to stop them.
"I never told you why I wear converse," Sora said.
"Well, I guess now's a better time than any to ask, why do you wear them?" Kairi muttered, as they just reached the end.
Sora turned to her, and smiled, "Converse make excellent running shoes," And with that, he took her hand and began to run.
The guards voice was trailing behind them as Sora and Kairi rand down the hallway, taking left, than a right, brushing past the staff of the hospital as they ran. Sora instantly began to pick up his pace as he shouted out, "He's calling backup," Sora then flew through one of he doors, and began to rush up the stairs. Kairi lost count of how many floors they passed, until he flew through the last door, and began to run down the long hallway. Soon Kairi was able to hear the yelling of several guards. The two turned a corner, and skidded to a halt.
At the end of their hallway was a large window, big enough for 2 people to fit through, and that was it. No rooms to hide in, no stairway or elevator to escape through. Sora turned to Kairi, and looked straight into her eyes.
"Kairi, do you trust me?" He asked.
"What?" Kairi said, not understanding what Sora had said.
"Do you trust me?" Sora repeated.
"Ah…yeah, of course I do," Kairi answered, still not understanding Sora was up to.
"Good, hold onto my hand and do not let go under any circumstances," Sora did not even wait, as he grabbed Kairi's hand and he began to run.
Faster and faster he got, Kairi somehow managing to keep up, their feet hitting the marble floor. Kairi soon realized what Sora was planning. Kairi closed her eyes, as they were barely inches away from the window.
CRASH
The sound of glass shattering echoed throughout Kairi's ears. The sense of the floor beneath her feat disappeared. The sensation one has when falling from great height automatically filled Kairi's stomach. Both Human and Guardian Angel plummeted to the ground. Kairi screamed, as if trying to get the sensation out of her stomach via her mouth. However, the feeling grew more and more.
And then, quite suddenly, Sora's wings bust forth, and they dis-continued to fall. The Sensation ceased as they began to move forward. The fluttering of his Wings reached Kairi's ears, and she opened her eyes.
Instantly she was met with the sight of Dawn City. The Buildings all glowed within the sunlight. People walking about, going shopping, or simply hanging out, not realizing that two people were flying high above them. Kairi looked up to see Sora, emotion not anywhere near on his face. His blank look only made Kairi feel even safer.
The two glided over the waters, and soon they had reached the shores of Twilight Town. Kairi recognized several people, and waved, before realizing none of them could see her. She felt a sense of embarrassment, and looked up at Sora once again, but his facial expression had not changed.
Soon Kairi found her school, and then her neighborhood, and then her street. Sora then lowered down to Kairi's lawn. Their feet brushed against the grass, and Kairi felt the ground beneath her feet, and felt the flutter of his wings as he retracted them.
"You ok?" Sora asked her, as she was trembling just a tiny bit.
"Yeah, I'll be ok…oh, I still have that homework to do," Kairi hiccupped.
Sora smiled, "Don't worry about it, I'll have that done for you,"
Kairi looked at Sora and shook her head, "No, Sora, I need this, I need something to take my mind off all that has happened today," Kairi told him, and Sora nodded his head in understanding.
"What are you going to do?" Kairi asked.
"I'm going to have a word with someone," Sora muttered, looking up into the distance.
"Who?" Kairi asked, to which Sora looked down and smiled.
"Don't you worry about that Kairi, you go and finish your work, and go inside, and ill be back as soon as I possibly can…Don't worry, I'll fix everything," Sora smiled at the troubled Kairi, and she returned only a small smile.
"You be careful, ok?" Kairi asked, and Sora stared at her for a moment, before he nodded his head.
Kairi walked up her pathway leading to her front door. She turned her head for a second, to look back at her Guardian Angel, who merely waved back. She entered the house, the sunset just setting over her house.
"Right, now, have to concentrate," Sora muttered as he closed his eyes. His wings burst forth and wrapped around him. The wind suddenly picked up, flying all around him. His entire body vibrating due to the energy he was using. Where he was going was not a normal destination point for Angels. In fact, where he was going had almost never had any sort of Angelic habitation.
"ALLONS-Y!" Sora shouted into the night air, and in a burst of thunder, disappeared into the night, only the wind that had come from this almost violent teleportation left.
12------12
Fire burst out of the rocks as Sora arrived. The flames gave way, as if they were the wind, and a Burst of Lightning signalized his Arrival. As the final flames parted, there stood the Guardian Angel, not flinching as the numerous Heartless scattered past his feet. He looked at his surroundings, and realized that he had Teleported exactly where he had wanted to, the Main Hall of Hell. He looked up to find that the roof had been replace with what looked like infinite darkness. Every now and then he would hear shrieks, and yet he felt no pity for these tortured souls, for he knew…each and every one deserved it…everyone… except one.
He looked forward to see the very person he was looking for. Draped in a robe of Black, his wings a darker colour of Black and a burning halo. The Dark Angel sat on his throne of dead skulls and human bodies.
Sora took a deep breath and began walking towards him.
"I like what you've done with the place," Sora smiled as he pointed up, "That certainly wasn't there the last time I was here,"
The Dark Angel remained motionless, but continued staring at the unwanted guest.
"Oh, right, yes, I bet you're surprised to see me," Sora nodded his head, but still silence was met. Now every Demon was staring at Sora, and yet he showed them no consideration.
"What? Stunned into Silence?" Sora asked, as he stopped in front of the throne, looking up at the being of pure evil before him. His Wings glowed bright, keeping all the Heartless on the floor away from him, the light to bright for them, blinding them.
The Dark Angel stood from his throne, and pointed one of his fingers at the Angel.
"Sora Twelve," He muttered, and the Demons began to laugh around him, as if he had made some sort of funny Joke.
"That's me, Hello," He waved, to which the Demons became quiet.
"We both come from two different worlds, in your one, Titles are significant…in mine, Names are what tell us apart…isn't that correct…Xehanort?"
At once the Laughter was silenced, every single Demon turned their head away. The Dark Angel himself looked down at Sora, and at once, Flames burst from his left and right side, symbolizing his anger, and yet Sora did not move an inch
"YOU DARE USE SUCH FOWL LANGUAGE TOWARDS ME, DEGRADING ME WITH SUCH A PATHETIC TITLE!" He screamed at the angel.
"Actually, yes, I do dare," Sora muttered, and the sense that he two was equally angry burned through his age-old eyes.
The Dark Angel was not used to such disobedience In his Domain, and it was this silence that Sora took.
"I'm not here to insult you, Dark Angel, I'm here for the Life of one Hayner John Green, a Life I believe you have Stolen, a life, as seen in the Timeline of Reality was not yet ready to be taken," Sora said, his childishness gone, now a man of business.
"He is mine, nonetheless Twelve," The Dark Angel Muttered.
"You are also responsible for the Death of one Yuna Anne Smiles, a Death that cannot be taken back, due to the Natural Occurrence of the Death, however, you and I both know very well that Demon Mutilation is not a Natural cause of Death,"
"Well, then, you are free to take him back to your world...all you have to do is find him," The Dark Angel began to Laugh as he pointed to the billions of Heartless there were on the floor.
Sora looked at the Dark Angel, a Look of pure disgust on his face, His Nostrils Flared, and fire burning through his eyes.
"Now listen to me, Dark Angel, you may have taken the lives of two innocent civilians, but this ends here, you will not touch another life. I know what you are planning, and you will not get so much as a hair more, I will find them, and they will be brought back to Earth,"
The Dark Angel began to laugh, harder than ever, "I wouldn't be too sure of that,"
Sora raised his head just an inch, "What do you mean?"
"As we speak, right now, my Bounty Hunter is capturing Princess number five, a girl by the name of Aerith Gainsborough, who is being protected by one Cloud Nine,"
Sora's eyes widened, "Cloud,"
"Oh yes, you see he may be strong, but he underestimates our power…something that you constantly do, my dear deluded Guardian Angel…and soon, he shall be making his way to the Destiny Islands, to bring me the last two,"
Sora looked at him, his lip forming a look of disgust, and the fire in his eyes burning brighter than ever, "If he so much as touches a hair on her pure head, I will make sure you REGRET the day you went after her,"
The outburst had caused the Dark Angel to laugh harder than ever, "Yes, that's it, let your anger take you, ohh, I can feel it, the Darkness, it tastes so good, the Demon Darkness Slowly taking you, let your anger for me fuel the darkness, already seeping through your Angelic Aurora…Why, Sora Twelve, Is that a Black Feather I see?"
Sora looked to his wing in shock, to see that among the golden feathers, a black one sat.
"No," Sora muttered, closing his eyes concentrating with all his might, and slowly, the black feather fell, disappearing as it did, replacing it with another golden feather.
"You will not take me, Dark Angel," Sora muttered.
"I don't need to take you, Guardian, for you see, eventually, even the purest of heart can fall into the black abyss, all it takes is the right motivation, come now, get angry again, I want to see you fall so far," He laughed.
Sora looked at him in disgust once again, but this time he maintained the Angelic Aurora within him, and made sure there were no holes that could make the Demon Darkness get through.
"Don't play games with me," Sora snarled, "You just killed someone I like, that is not a safe place to stand…I'm giving you one warning, Retract your hunter now, and return the Princesses that you have snatched,"
"Or what, I am the king of Darkness, the Ruler of the Black Abyss, I am the night, the shadow, I control the most powerful element in the universe, and who are you?" The Dark Angel asked in disgust.
Sora stared at him for a few seconds, before saying, "I'm Sora Twelve," Before his wings wrapped around him, and he disappeared in a flash of lightning.
However, he did not get very far, as when he reappeared, he was merely metres away from where he originally stood.
"What?" Sora asked in confusing.
"Oh, no, it looks like you have been here too long, the Demon Darkness does not want you to go, they haven't had light like yours in such a long time, and soon, you will feel the darkness creep onto you, slowly eating away at your faith, your hope, your belief, everything that is powered by light, until you consumed by the darkness, whether you like it or not," The Dark Angel laughed.
"But you have forgotten one thing," Sora said, regaining control from his confusion.
The Dark Angel ceased laughing, "Oh, and what is that?" to which Sora smiled.
"I can still run," And with that, he took off towards the exit.
The Dark Angel Screamed in Anger, "Heartless, cease him, take away every last morsel of light he has within him,"
The Heartless began to scurry after him in an alarmingly fast pace. Sora had just reached the exit when they were gathering. The Heartless were coming from everywhere, disappearing into the floor, and reappearing in front of him. The Only downside of course was that they were not quick enough to catch him.
Sora jumped over the numerous rocks, not being able to think over all the noise that was coming through hell, screams upon screams of humans, slowly being turned into Heartless with no hope for them.
Sora pushed himself through one of the doors, and saw it, far above them, not being reachable by Demons or Heartless due to their lack of wings. The Fiery Gateway leading from Hell to Limbo. If he could get there, he would be far enough from the Demon Darkness to Teleport Back to Kairi's house.
He Jumped into the air, and began to fly. But unlike before, it had taken a lot of energy to raise.
"The Demon Darkness…its eating away from my stamina…" Sora managed to say, his breathing becoming heavier. Even thinking was making him weak.
He could hear it, The Dark Angel, Transmitting his thoughts inside his head using the Demon Darkness as a Link.
Join me, Guardian, and together, we can rule the worlds. Bow to me, swear your allegiance to me, and I shall give you everything you ever want…I will give you that girls heart, she will fall only for you, and together, you can be with each other forever, no trying to control your emotions every time she looks at you, the freedom…do you not want the freedom.
"Your using my thoughts against me, but you forget Dark Angel, I am only the servant of the higher one, my willpower outweighs my desire, and not even you can change my mind, if you do not cease this, then I shall be back, and I will not be here for a warning, if you will not release them, then I will do it myself. Heed my words, Dark one, because my power may be only half of what the Father has, but it is more powerful than you could ever believe,"
And with that, Sora had a sudden burst of power, managing to get through the Fiery gateway, and in a sudden burst of lightning, using all the energy he had left disappeared from the flames, back to earth.
12------12
Kairi sat on her bed looking at her mobile phone, waiting for some sort of call to make sure that Sora was ok. Namine sat next to her friend, looking over her shoulder, waiting, like Kairi, for a sign. Roxas was sitting on Kairi's chair, his hands up to his temple, twitching every now and again.
Kairi looked up from her phone towards Roxas, "Anything?" She asked.
"No, if he is in Hell, then it's going to be a while before I get any type of link with him," Roxas muttered.
"Oh," Kairi sighed, staring back at her phone.
Suddenly Roxas' eyes flew open, "He's out,"
Kairi and Namine both looked towards Roxas, "What?"
"He's made it to the Fiery Gateway, he's teleporting here," Roxas explained quickly, and almost instantly, in a loud flash of lightning, Sora hit the ground, his Wings hitting the ground lightly, the rest of his body, thudding to the ground.
"Sora!" Kairi, Namine and Roxas both shouted as the rushed towards him. Kairi and Namine staying back while Roxas knelt next to his brother.
"Looks like he has had a large dosage of Demon Darkness, his body has shut down to try and get rid of all the darkness inside of him, he should be awake in a couple of hours,"
"He's going to be alright," Kairi sighed, smiling for the first time that day.
"He just needs some rest, me and Namine will go home, by tomorrow morning, Sora should be back to his normal self," Roxas smiled, to which Namine yawned.
"Come on, lets get you into bed," Roxas chuckled, and holding onto her, they disappeared into the night.
Kairi turned from watching Roxas and Namine disappear into the night, to Sora, who was shivering and breathing irregular.
"Oh, Sora, please, get better soon," Kairi sat on her bed and hugged her knees tight, not feeling sleepy at all.
12------12
Power…
Darkness…
Together…
Join…
Me…
JOIN…
ME…
Sora jumped out from his place, breathing heavily, he began to check his pulse, his chest, his reflexes, everything. Once he was sure that he was all right, he ran a hand through his hair, and looked outside. It was nighttime, 12:09 by the Angle of the moon. He creaked his neck as he went through everything that had happened while he had been in hell.
Once he had gone through the entire meeting three or four times in his head, he looked over to see Kairi lying on her bed, her phone in hand. Smiling, he pulled one of the covers over her, and stared at her, longing for a time when a Guardian Angel's Job was simply to watch over there principal, not to be their best friend.
Cloud was right Sora thought to himself, Getting intimate with your Principal is not the best thing to do.
Sora exited the room, and the house. Pulling his jacket closer to him, he began to walk the 10-minute trip to the beach. His Converse sneakers squished in the sand, as he stopped near the end of the water, watching the waves go to and fro. He took in a deep breath of salty air. His stomach craved a Sea-salt Ice-cream.
"Hungry?"
Sora turned around to see his brother, Roxas, holding out two bars of sea-salt ice cream. Sora gracefully accepted the dessert, and soon the two brothers were standing on the shore of Twilight Beach, enjoying some ice cream.
"So, any particular reason you decided to pop into hell today?" Roxas asked, as he finished the ice cream, slipping the stick into his pocket.
"I warned the Dark Angel to stay away," Sora merely stated as he ripped another piece of the frozen dessert of the stick and into his mouth.
"Is there any particular reason you chose today to do it?" Roxas asked.
"Did you hear what happened to Hayner?" Sora answered Roxas' question with another question.
"And you think it is connected to him?" Roxas asked.
"Roxas, I looked at his body, he was mutilated by a demon, and…I feel like it's my fault," Sora muttered, finishing off the ice cream in a single bite.
"Brother, this is not your fault, you weren't the one who killed him," Roxas reassured him, but Sora looked at his brother.
"I as good as killed him, if we had supplied him with names, he would not have killed Hayner, or Yuna, he…"
"…He would have found us all and eliminated us a long time ago," Roxas muttered, to which Sora sighed, snapping his ice cream stick in two and letting them dissapear in the wind.
The two listened to the water and the wind made possible by the ocean, and for a brief moment, a calmness took over them, they were happy, not worrying about Demons or Heartless, just letting the ocean bring their tired eyes a little happiness.
This moment was short-lived, as Sora looked upon his brother, with important information.
"While I was in hell, I failed to see the Bounty Hunter, Wake there,"
Roxas' head quickly turned to Sora, a look of fear instantly plastered on his face.
"If Wake is involved, than things just got a hell of a lot worse,"
"There's something else Roxas," Sora muttered, and Roxas groaned.
"What now?" Roxas groaned.
"The Dark Angel stated that he has 5 of the 7 princesses of heart," Sora said solemly, to which Roxas went into an even deeper form of shock.
"No way, he beat Leon, and Cloud," Roxas shook his head.
"Roxas, we are talking about the one of the most powerful beings in the entire universe, the Devils Bounty Hunter himself, he is searching for the princesses, and Kairi and Namine are all that are left, so we must devote all of our time protecting them, they are the final keys, and if they are taken away…then everything will be lost,"
"Very well, then, we should get back to the houses now," Roxas muttered.
"Yeah, remember Roxas, keep a constant eye on your principal, the Destiny of the Entire universe could depend on it,"
Roxas nodded his head, and together, in a burst of Lightning, and a gust of wind, they both disappeared into the night.
On the top of a hill, overlooking the sea, a flame burst forth, and through it, a man stepped through it, dressed in a red suit, a red tail with an arrow point at the end, and pitch black bent horns perched on top of his head, he took in a deep breath, a thin smile curving on his lips. He opened his lip ever so slightly, and in a deep voice, muttered three words.
"I have arrived,"
Next time on 12
In the school cafeteria, Riku walks up to Sora.
"You seem to be spending an awful lot of time with my girlfriend,"
"I'm just being a very over-protective friend,"
A demon is standing in front of Kairi.
"You will come withhh me, the Dark Lord Wantssss you now,"
Sora stands in Kairi's room
"The Dark Angel will use any way to get you,"
"But why me, why do they want me?"
"Because Kairi, you are a key,"
"A key? A Key to what?"
Sora looks at Kairi with seriousness on his face.
"The Key To Kingdom Hearts,"
