Howdy, I'm Flowey; Flowey the Flower, normally your dear General would leave a note here answering queries and addressing some concerns. :D However, this World is being taken over by ME! Starting with your precious General!
Look at all of you, you don't care, you think this is a trick, a ruse, maybe even a lie. I bet most of you who played the Game went Genocide even though you swore to yourself not to. Don't worry; your dear General did that as well. In fact, they've killed me so many times that I believe it's time I took action. I'm going to show you all the true meaning of this world. Man, Chara will be so proud of me. :D
Now that you know who's in charge here, enjoy the chapter. But just remember, just because I'm writing this for you… it's still 'Kill or BE KILLED!' *Laughs insanely*
Before we start, however, the General wanted me to say something *searches around* Here it is! Ahem, The General states that they have decided that the Romance in this story shall take a back seat to the action, because, while Sora and Rebecca ARE together, it is certainly not the main subject of the story, at least not until later.
Anyway, now that the General has said their bit, it's time for the chapter. ENJOY HUMANS!
Chapter 11: Monsters, Mercy and Goat Mom!
After everyone had warmed up in the shower, Rebecca pushed Sora into the wardrobe saying "Put on some other clothes would you? This outfit is just covered in belts!" Rebecca held up Sora's outfit from his second adventure. "I honestly don't even know if these are even magical and more on the side of 'Over the fucking top'."
"Alright, alright!" Sora yelled, going into the wardrobe to get changed, his girlfriend was crazy!
Inside the wardrobe, Sora located another outfit he'd been gives by the three Good Fairies. This one was far more red as opposed to his old outfit, it only had three belts; one around his waist and two around his hands. The lack of belts made him feel… less powerful for some reason.
They walked into the cockpit, took their seats and took off back into space. Like a well-oiled machine, the four friends piloted the ship through space, destroying Heartless and Nobody ships while hardly breaking a sweat.
However, before long, the console started ringing. Sora looked down to see the video connection to Yen Sid and Chip & Dale flare to life. On the screen Yen Sid appeared in all his old, wise glory. "Hello Master." Sora greeted, handing over control to Rebecca.
"Hello Sora. I have been keeping an eye on the skies as usual, and I have sensed something disturbing." Yen Sid explained. "In the far reaches of space, a new World has appeared and it seems to be having some serious Darkness troubles, I would like to ask you to head over there and see what you can do." Yen Sid explained.
"Certainly Master, could you send us the co-ordinates?" Sora asked into the 90s style screen.
"OK, the World can be found at co-ordinates 34SD23-FFTSPUAMAAC-2W. Be careful Sora, I don't know what shape the enemies will take on this World." Yen Sid told Sora, looking down at the co-ordinates of the planet.
"Thank you Master, see you later." Sora said, turning off the monitor. As soon as Sora cut the connection, he immediately punched in the co-ordinates, not seeing Yen Sid stare at Rebecca in the split second between saying goodbye and switching off the console.
"Where are we going Sora?" Rebecca inquired, handing control back over to her boyfriend.
"Further than we've ever gone before." Sora grinned, immediately accelerating the Gummi Ship to as fast as it would go.
Meanwhile, in another part of the Universe, a man with lovely brown hair and wearing a pinstriped suit was setting his TARDIS to fly when he felt a shiver run down his spine… someone had stolen his line! "Dammit!" He yelled in his native language of Gallifreyan.
However, as Sora flew the Gummi Ship towards the co-ordinates, he encountered a serious problem; it was behind the invisible barrier that surrounded all known worlds!
"Hold on tight everybody!" Sora yelled, causing everyone except Rebecca to grasp onto their seats with all their might as Sora physically broke through the barrier that contained their region of space. The force of the impact caused Roxas to break his wrist and Xion to dislocate her shoulder, luckily, Rebecca had done the sensible thing and placed her head between her legs and Sora didn't have to worry because the wheel of the ship had its own crumple zone so he didn't have to worry about his broken bones, he had to thank Chip and Dale for implementing some basic car mechanics to the Gummi Ships as well.
After Sora crashed through the Invisible Barrier, the Gummi ship started breaking up as it spiralled towards the co-ordinates that were programmed into it. The G-force inside the Gummi Ship rendered everyone unconscious until the Ship finally crash landed inside a tall mountain on an uncharted world, mostly because Donald lost the charts!
At the bottom of a deep hole surrounded by ruins, the wrecked Gummi Ship barely missed another human who had fallen down not that long beforehand.
A few hours later, Sora's eyes slowly flickered open. "Ugh" He groaned, seeing more of the sparking and destroyed ship as he opened his eyes. "Rebecca, Roxas, Xion?" He called out.
"Sora?" He heard Roxas shout, "Help! Xion, Rebecca and I are trapped!"
"I'm coming!" Sora yelled, standing up and limped towards the back of the ship to find his Nobody, his Replica and his girlfriend trying to pry themselves out of the Holy-G engine that had fallen on top of them. Sora rushed forwards and tried helping them; even Rebecca couldn't summon her wand to use magic.
The thought of the fact that your friends may die. It fills you with Determination!
~Outside the Ship~
Lying on a patch of yellow flowers was a human child with neck length brown hair and wearing a blue and purple striped shirt.
Upon opening their eyes, The Human saw the ruins of a space ship with screams emanating from inside. The human's eyes widened realising there were people trapped inside.
The Human knew that they weren't strong enough to help them; no matter how Determined they were, so they ran off down a nearby corridor in search of help. When The Human ran through a nearby door frame, the first thing they saw, however, was a single golden flower… SMILING at them.
"Howdy!" The flower greeted in a high pitched voice. "I'm Flowey, Flowey the flower." The flower hummed. "You're new to the Underground, arn'cha?" Flowey asked, causing The Human to nod. "Golly, you must be so confused. Well, someone ought to teach ya how things work down here. I guess little ol' me will hafta do! Ready? Here we go! "
Suddenly, The Human saw a red heart appear in front of them and they themselves felt themselves going ethereal.
"You see that heart?" A monochromatic Flowey asked. "That's your SOUL; the very culmination of your being! Your SOUL starts off weak, but can grow strong if you gain a lot of LV. What's LV stand for? Why, LOVE, of course! You want some LOVE, don't you?" Again, The Human nodded. "Don't worry; I'll share some with you!" Flowey winked causing some pollen to fly from his eye. "Down here, LOVE is shared through little white 'friendliness pellets'" Flowey exclaimed brightly, summoning some seeds around him. "Are you ready? Move around, grab as many as you can!" Flowey sent the seeds flying at The Human.
The Human reached out with their SOUL to touch it. However, when the bullets touched their SOUL, it started to shatter. The Human looked at Flowey with extreme confusion.
"You idiot!" Flowey yelled at the Human. "In this world, it's KILL or BE KILLED! Why would ANYONE pass up an opportunity like this?" Flowey shouted, surrounding The Human's SOUL with seeds. "DIE!" Flowey cackled insanely.
However, as the seeds approached The Human's SOUL, they felt it restore and a fireball came in and knocked the flower away.
Replacing the Flower was a warm Goat woman. "What a terrib…" However, the Goat Woman was cut off by The human running up to her and hugging her. "It's alright dear, it's over now." She said comfortingly.
The Human pulled at her robe. "You want me to follow you?" Goat Mom asked.
The Human nodded and lead her back to the crashed ship. "Oh, my!" The Goat Woman gasped, hearing some shouting. "Stand back dear, I'll help them." The Goat Woman announced, running into the ship, quickly located the trapped Humans and helped them out.
"Thank you." Roxas gasped, clutching his chest. "Err…"
"I'm Toriel, my child." Toriel greeted. However, before she could continue, Sora, Roxas, Xion and Rebecca all fainted, clearly exhausted from the strain of nearly dying just moments ago. "Oh, dear." Toriel muttered worriedly. "My child, would you kindly find some Froggits? They should be able to help me with these Humans."
The Human nodded and rushed off, and returned moments later with an army of Froggits.
~Time skip~
A few hours later, Rebecca started stirring and felt herself lying on a very comfortable surface, as she opened she saw the dim light of a nightlight in a socket near the foot of her bed, Rebecca's nostrils immediately picked up the scent of something very tasty, she turned her head to see a slice of pieon the bedside table, it smelt of cinnamon and… butterscotch?
What a strange combination for a pie, Rebecca thought to herself before standing up and picking up the pie slice as she went before she pocketed it, not noticing that Sora, who was lying next to her, was also awake.
Rebecca exited into a short hallway with three doors and took a note that she left through the left most door before heading to her right and moving into an entrance hall, passing a sausage-like plant, and saw stairs heading down into the basement that had bookshelves full of history books, books on hunting bugs and some pun books, the pun books being the most opened from what Rebecca could tell.
"Curiouser and Curiouser." Rebecca said as she headed into the front room and saw, sitting on a chair near a merrily crackling fire was a Goat Woman with a Human of about 10 on her lap.
"Erm, hello?" Rebecca asked, looking at the rather bizarre sight before her.
"Hello, my child." The Goat Woman replied, "How are you feeling? You were in a dreadful crash when I found you."
Rebecca was slightly taken aback by the appearance of the motherly goat woman in front of her. "Y-yes, I'm quite alright. Umm, who are you?" Rebecca asked, feeling some form of déjá vu, a faint memory of the summer before her first year at Hogwarts where Hagrid visited came floating back to her.
The kind woman smiled. "I am Toriel, my child, caretaker of the Ruins. Now, you must reciprocate the introduction, who are you?"
"My name is Rebecca, Rebecca Potter, Keyblade Master, or Mistress, if you want to get technical." Rebecca replied, summoning her Keyblade which had taken on a form rather reminiscent of Arendelle.
"A Keyblade Mistress?" Toriel asked, smiling. "Well, that does explain your LV of 42, now, come on, I'm making lasagne for dinner."
Rebecca sat down at the table, The Human joining soon afterwards. By the time Toriel had bought out the Lasagna, Roxas, Sora and Xion had woken up and joined Rebecca at the table. Having seen people like Beast, Jack Skellington and the Cheshire Cat, they were not shocked at Toriel's appearance.
To crack the tense ice, Toriel said. "Hey, did you hear about the spaghetti thief? He was a real imPASTA."
The Humans couldn't help but burst out laughing, despite one simple fact: pun.
"Damn Toriel." Roxas replied, pouring some ketchup on the side of chips he'd been given. "That was good, I'm gonna have to KETCHUP to your level."
"I'll take that as a CONDIMENT." Toriel laughed, she loved these kids already, but, she already knew they'd have to leave soon, before Asgore paid her their weekly visit, before a sudden thought struck her. She could destroy the doorway leading to the rest of the Underground!
"That was delicious, Toriel." Xion said, finishing up her lasagne.
"So." Sora began. "I was reading this book on antigravity." Sora smirked at this point. "It was impossible to put down." Rebecca and Xion rolled their eyes, but Roxas and the human giggled.
Rebecca was having a good time, but she knew that she'd have to leave soon and find the Darkness of this world, even if she COULD see herself living there for the rest of her teenage years.
"I'm incredibly sorry about this Toriel, but we have to leave, we're looking for the 'darkness of this world'." Rebecca said regretfully.
Toriel smiled sadly. "I understand, but, before you leave. Prove to me. Prove you are strong enough to defend yourself!"
Suddenly, the room turned black and some music started up around them. In front of her, Rebecca saw a Blue heart lying in a box labelled "Fight." Rebecca summoned her Keyblade and prepared to fight. Rebecca was about to select "fight," however, she looked to her right to see a box labelled "Mercy." Without hesitation, Rebecca moved the Heart to "Mercy" and selected it.
"What will you prove by this?" Toriel asked sending unfocused fire magic at the Heart which Rebecca caused to sidestep. After Toriel finished, Rebecca immediately selected "Mercy" and prepared for Toriel's next attack. Toriel sent her magic at the bottom of the battle board causing Rebecca to lift the Heart into the air, only to discover that it was affected by gravity and came back down in a graceful arch, but luckily Toriel had finished by the time Rebecca landed.
"Fight me or run away!" Toriel shouted. Rebecca looked at Toriel with Integrity burning in her eyes and punched the "Spare" button. Rebecca prepared for Toriel's attack, but was surprised when she saw that Toriel's fire was actively avoiding her!
When Toriel finished her "attack" she fell to her knees. "I can't even protect a single child" Toriel lamented, causing the room to immediately return to normal. Rebecca approached Toriel and hugged her.
"Don't worry Toriel, we are Keyblade Wielders, we'll be fine." Sora said, joining the hug.
"But, it would be appreciated if you took care of the Human until we've cleared the way." Xion said, ruffling the young child's hair causing them to smile at her.
"Of course, my child." Toriel sniffed. "I'm sorry about your ship, but I think it's broken beyond repair."
"Don't worry." Sora said. "We've got an alternative form of transport. Our Keyblades can turn into Gliders, but we will need the spacesuits from the ship until we can get this "Keyblade armour."
"OK, well, good luck." Toriel said, hugging the Keyblade wielders in turn before they headed back to the ship to pick up some spacesuits before finally leaving the Ruins.
However, before they could leave, a flower turned up.
"So, you spared the Goat Woman." Flowey grinned. "So, you managed to play by your own rules by 'sparing' her. But, what if you meet a ruthless killer, what then? Will you kill out of pure frustration, or will you die and die and die? This so interesting! Very well, my little monarchs, I wish you luck!" Flowey's face morphed into a grin before he let out a cackling laugh which sent shivers down everyone's back before he disappeared and they were able to move on, not knowing what awaited them.
End Chapter.

Sorry about the long wait, but translating the battle system into writing was exceedingly difficult. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed it and I'll see you all next time in… Skeletons, Puns and Puzzles!
I want to thank TheHomieWhoWrites for looking over this chapter.
