Chapter XI: The Furry World
Please note the following: I only own my original characters and devices, items, etc. I don't own other people's creations. An example would be: characters, the planet/world itself, etc. I would not mention or make an appearance of other people's characters, unless I got permission from them. Also, the world is similar to ours, but, the inhabitants are mostly anthropomorphic characters and humans are the ones who mostly created that world for their furry animals. Without further ado, let this chapter be dealt with already.
I was at the house I lived on. Many things happened in time. My cousin is depressed and she had her leg broken, which was in the Summer I think. My sister is in trouble, and might end up in Juvenal hall-also, she has a boyfriend named Justin(however he spells his name). Aside from that, I was in the backyard and this huge dark hole appeared in out of nowhere. I ended up being sucked in and on the other side, it looked like, I was gliding/flying forward, until I saw a light on the other side. The light became intense and it eventually faded.
I ended up in the Kingdom Hearts universe again. "Why oh why, must I always end up in this universe. I just know 'God' must be involved into this, if I keep on getting dragged in this universe." I sighed. "Well...might as well do some-," before I could speak more, a bright light appeared out of nowhere , at the point it covered the surrounding worlds and forced me to shield my eyes.
Eventually, I could open my eyes and look. When I opened them, I saw the other worlds disappeared. That, or they are hidden. Anyways, what I saw surprised me.
It was Earth that I saw. I looked at it funny. It looked different somehow. Suddenly, a bunch of lights came towards my direction.
When they got close to me, they stopped and the light faded away. I saw their appearances, that are covered in the light.
I became surprised of who they were. I saw Realm, Hunter,Yuki, Devin, Ashley, and the others that shocked me. I saw Richard, my sister Star, and my cousin, Evelyn.
They were all floating like me, but they were distant from me, so I looked isolated. They looked at me.
"As expected, that we would end up meeting each other." Devin said, as he adjusted his glasses.
"I knew it was no coincidence that we all ended up eventually meeting again in one destination. However, I don't remember meeting those two from previous encounters."
Devin was most likely referring to Star and Evelyn.
Star had black hair, brown iris, tan skin color(or just darker than mine), wearing a black shirt blue jeans, and lets say, white shoes(p.s. I mostly made up the clothing don't pay attention that much, of what she wears).
Evelyn had dirty blonde hair, a white shirt, gray pants, white shoes, and brown(I can't remember what her eye color was) iris.
I started to reply. I Pointed to the both of them and said, "The dirt blonde is my cousin Evelyn and the black hair one is my sister Star."
"Hey," Star started to talk, "is that the same guy who tried to kill us...in that one place?" She asked me, while she was pointing to Realm.
I stared at Realm with my right on my chin. "Hmm. NOW that you mention it. He does look similar to Exile. Well...Realm Of Darkness that is or just Realm Dark."
I shrugged. "I can't remember how he said it. But...I think it was 'Realm Of Darkness' for sure. Now that I'm mentioning this, he did say that his parents were from another universe or something, and he had three people who he called 'parents'. I think there names were: Boulder, Sky...hmm...who else- oh. It was...Rain. But, I'm not answering your question now, am I? Although he does look very similar, but, wait...were you there when that whole incident in that one place happened, when we all gathered around and there were people in black coats? Then again...Exile was there...and he did mention that he and Realm who...the same, but, different timelines."
I then looked at Realm. "So...Are you Exile or...are the both of you the same person? If so...why hadn't Yuki and Hunter tried to kill me yet?
Yuki and Hunter had a worried expression. Realm didn't reply back. He closed his eyes and opened them.
"You," he spoke with that deep voice of his, "simply know...to much. You must...be exterminated as planned."
Then a Keyblade appeared in his right hand. It was that jagged Keyblade with that circular-blade thingy and the guard-shaped like a heart.
The rest, except Yuki and Hunter gasped.
"A Keyblade," Devin said. He smirked. "How...interesting. I finally found one who can wield one. You'll make a fine subject."
Realm heard what Devin said, but paid no attention to him.
He lunged forward, about to thrust his Keyblade in my body. I hesitated. I didn't know what to do. Before the weapon touched my skin, everything froze. I couldn't move, and I think the others couldn't either.
I tried moving my body, but, with the effort I tried putting in, I only could make my arm twitch slightly. I noticed that my eyes could move freely. I noticed that the others tried to move. Hearing them grunt and make other noises.
Then I saw the planet started to glow. It became brightly intense, I closed my eyes for a safe precaution.
I then felt that, I could move again, I opened my eyes and saw everyone falling, the background and everything around us, is light.
I then turned my body around and saw the light we were getting close to, seemed like a hole of some kind. I just knew, that particular light was different. Like an entrance or something. The light got intense, that I shielded my eyes and when I opened eventually, the white light was gone.
But, we were in a portal or something, like the one from "Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance," where you have to pass a certain test of some kind, before you could access that particular world, to proceed in the storyline.
I looked back to the others and saw a digital screen in front of them and I quickly turned my face around and saw a digital screen too.
(Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance - Storm Diver)
It said, "3, 2, 1, GO!"
"Work together and collect 100 points."
With that, it the screen disappeared and the stage began.
I smirked. "LETS DO THIS THEN!"
I saw a yellow star that was ahead. I moved my body around, so I can catch it. When I got close enough, and as I reached for it. It moved around my body and went into my skin/body. I didn't question this, but, I scored the group ten points. Then, for some reason, Devin, Hunter, and Richard caught my eye and they were close to me.
"Imagine that all your weight is an anvil, so you can deal damage and accelerate!" Devin shouted, giving me advice in an analogy method.
I think he was trying to tell me, its possible to do a dash in this place. I tried it out, by imagining my body lunge forward. I then lunged forward and ended up see the wind becoming visible in sight and I knew I did a dash. I smiled. I tried as many times and everyone else eventually caught up.
Then, the fighting began. a group of Dream Eaters appeared. Komory Bats to be precise. There bodies are black and their wings are purple with a star designs that are in a pattern: yellow, turquoise, yellow, and turquoise. The ears are a purple, pinkish color, while the exterior of the ears, are yellow. Also, their eyes are red. Oh one more thing, there is arrow shape on their faces that is going upwards. I gasped, while trying to figure out, what to do. But, it turns out, that Hunter, Yuki, Devin, Ashley, and Realm did the job.
They hit, slashed, punched, and kicked them. Hunter, Yuki, and Realm use the Keyblades, to do the slashing, while Devin and Ashley did the punching and kicking.
When the Komory Bats were defeated, they left green orbs for healing and yellow stars for points.
Eventually, further down, there was fighting, attacking, dashing, obstacles, and we learned to use the evade-shield thingy, that protects us while dodging. Although, the trick was, we had to lean-to one direction-also, there was the option to use it by leaning to one direction and lean-to the opposite direction. However, it turns out, the others can do this more efficiently then me, since they had more speed and more mobility.
Anyway, we collected enough points and the finish line is near.
Before we could pass the finish line, I sensed something, so I turned back and came in shock at what I saw. I saw a figure coming our way. Well...figures to be precise.
The others saw my expression and turned around. When they did that, the figures came at a speed/acceleration that, they assaulted Richard, Realm, and I and pushed us towards the finish line, shaped like a circle.
(End of Storm Driver)
When we passed through the circle, everything went dark. It turns out I was conscious and my eyes are closed. I opened them and saw the harsh sunlight.
Wait. The sun is warm? That was I said in my mind. I remember it's still freakin' cold outside, especially inside my grandmother's house.
I eventually got up and became surprised at what I saw.
There is land, trees and grass. It looked like I was in some type of forest or something.
I sighed. "What is this place. The world...looked like Earth...when I saw it." I then wondered around to see what I could find.
Eventually, I thought of something.
"Wait...if this world looked like Earth, then...why am I re-entering it again. Unless..." My eyes widen. "OH. MY. GOD. Please tell me, that I'm not in THAT WORLD."
All of a sudden, darkness appeared beneath my feet and tried to suck me in. I struggled to get out of it, but it was inevitable and I got sucked in.
-At the Mysterious Tower-
Yen Sid is at his desk, sitting on his chair. Of a sudden, an image appeared before him, while surprising him.
"What's this." He questioned himself. There was a cloud image, showing in the middle, of whats happening. What he saw shocked him.
"This cannot be!" I must send word to Sora and Riku immediately." With that, Mickey came in the room.
At the other worlds, certain people were glowing and end up fading into light. Like Shirley, and that one man with the brown hair, and other people.
Back in my position, the darkness end up taking me in an alley way, which IS a BAD idea, since I ASSUMED, I'm IN THAT WORLD. For some reason, I was wearing a Black Coat, that would shield my appearance from the daylight. All I had to do is not show my face, directly with eye contact or lift my head. I just had to keep my head lowered.
I inhaled and exhaled. "Here goes." I said to myself, began to walk out the alley way. Before I could exit out the alley way, a corridor of darkness appeared on the sides of the walls.
What came out, are two beings in black coats. I moved back a little. When they looked at me, they had human faces. I saw Devin and Yuki. I stared at their eyes.
"It took a while to find you," Devin said. "I already seen the life forms here, and I'm interested in them! But, we need to be cautious here."
I sighed. "I could take a guess and the inhabitants in this world are animals walking on two feet like humans."
Yuki and Devin looked at each other and back to me with a nod. I sighed. "Typical. I knew that is world was somehow different. Okay...here is the main plan. We cannot be revealed in this place. Got it!?" The both of them nodded. "The moment our identities are found out, we are going to be in so much trouble, we won't be able to undo it.
At all costs, that you can, do not get caught. We are going to have to help each other out, if we want to escape this world alive and have our freedom.
I repeat. NONE of US, cannot get caught here." Devin then began to speak. "By how you are speaking, I presume you know about the inhabitants on this planet?"
I sighed, "You have noooo clue." I then rolled my eyes. "Anyway, we should get going and try to find the others as soon as possible." The both of them nodded.
"Okay, just try to look down and avoid eye contact, and don't let them see you, or any of your skin. Okay," I began to inhale and exhale, "let's do this."
With we walked out of the alley way. The moment we were in the sun's light and out of the shadows, I saw the inhabitants. I saw many various-diffrent creatures that are walking on two legs, talking, using technology. However, I don't see any hair like we humans on their heads, but, just fur and scales,; also, I don't see any wings on the avian creatures. Well...I'll probably see some wings. I while we were walking, I noticed that, their body structure and anatomy.
I saw several females with breasts like the female humans have, and their legs. Their legs are the shape, that the individual animal would have. For an example, the dogs/canines, have digits pads. I think that's somewhat it's called. They walk on their paw pads, then the balls of the feet. Basically, from my observation so far, everything here is realistic like it should be. Although, it isn't. I kept my head down looking at the concrete path. We eventually came to a...um, what's it called. A crossing?
I think that's what it's called. I began to reach for the button for the crossing, but Devin grabbed hold of my hand, before I could touch it. "You need to be very careful of what you leave here," he said. "You should keep what your body has on it, and don't leave it behind. The moment someone see blood, or gets a hair strand, or what Deoxyribonucleic acid imprint is here, when they realize it, we would get exposed." With that, he let go of my hand.
He reached for the button. I noticed he used his left hand, which had a glove on it, with no sleeve cuts or anything. We waited before we could cross.
When the light went green I lead the way to the other side, while we tried to stay out of the others way.
Somehow, I ended up bumping someone. Although, to my relief, we continued walking, ignoring that bump. As we made it to the other side of the street.
I breathe and put my right hand on my chest. "That was to close," I spoke to myself in a whisper. There were two paths we could take, but, we continued going forward.
I didn't know what time it was, but, it looked like the afternoon, with it was this sunny in december. But, as we passed a shop with clocks and time, we dare not look at them, but, I managed to catch a glimpse, with my eyes. I think it said "A.M."
So I knew it is still morning. We continued walking trying to keep our faces from begin seen.
After a while from walking, I began to hesitate. Yuki said, "There is someone watching us from a vehicle. I think it's what you call...a police car." I didn't turn around, and began to talk from not looking at the other two.
"Shit," I whispered in response. "This is bad. We have to try to act anymore suspicious and try to get rid of sight." I then began to walk, then the others walked also.
We eventually someplace we could hide. We saw this mall. I looked a Devin in one side and Yuki on the other, they nodded. We walked towards it and I began to speak, while were walking. "Here's the problem. There could be mall cops/security. If they find you suspicious or asks you to take off your hood. You RUN. However...I might hesitate in the process. If I were to get caught...well...I'll leave it up to you to figure out, what your going to do." The two didn't speak.
We walked into the mall, filled with many animals/creatures.
"Here goes nothing," I said, as we continued to walk.
-The Mysterious Tower-
Yen Sid looked at the window, pondering about something.
"I hope Mickey successfully bring Sora and Riku. There is something amiss with that world. All these years...how did I not know that particular world. Sora. Riku. Please hurry."
And with that, Sora, Riku, Mickey, and Kairi entered the room, along with Donald and Goofy.
Yen Sid turned around began to greet them.
Anyway, While Yen Sid is telling something to the six, lets talk about Realm's side of the story.
Realm is with Richard, Hunter, and Ashley, Star, and Evelyn. They all wore black coats and were in the same mall as us.
"Their nearby!" Hunter said, informing Realm. "Lead." Realm responded, and Hunter ran took lead and the other followed as quickly as possible, trying not to bump in the anthropomorphic animals and try to raise the mall securities attention.
We, however, were in a large area with not that many creatures around. There is this fountain in the middle and benches further away from it, which we sat on.
I sighed, as I looked down. I then heard a thud sound, which caught my interest, by responding. I got up, and so did the others. I turned my head around, and my body.
I went closer to the fountain, to see if there were anyone, that made that thud. The other two followed. As we got close to the fountain, I heard someone from the top floor.
"Hey!" I looked around and spotted someone in a black coat also. There were others too. Two jumped from the ledge, and landed successfully on the ground. Of course, I reacted and so did the others. The other four came down by escalator. I looked at their faces, under their hoods. It turns out to be the others we were with earlier.
We began to talk. "Thank God." I spoke first. "It's about time you all to get here. I was worried of getting caught in this planet. Of course, I was worried about the rest of you also."
"I was the one you found these four and ending up having to find you three."
"And how did you them us?" Devin spoke with curiously.
"I," Hunter began to speak, "Well...lets say...my nose can track 'anything'."
Devin began to be curious. "Really? 'Anything'?"
Hunter became worried, but he covered it up with a "hmph" and turned around.
"Don't worry about it." Hunter said, still turned around. While became interested in what Hunter said, I notice the security around us.
"Um...guys," I said, trying to get their attention, which it did, "were...surrounded."
They looked up and saw them. One is a wolf with gray fur, one is a white tiger, one an arctic fox(with white fur of course). . However, in their position, they couldn't see our skin or face, even when the other eight looked up slighty. To Realm's perspective, they are young. Teenagers perhaps. Realm, Devin, and Ashley were the first ones to notice, they weren't the security of this place
"Um...anyone got a plan?" I asked the others, knowing we would have to run.
"We could form and split into three groups and separate in different routes." Devin spoke, talking about strategy.
"Although, if you didn't notice, they appear not to be guards. I don't see an insignia or a uniform that tells the citizens, that they are the guards here.
However...we should be careful. So...I advise we separate from each other."
The others stopped looking at the three animals and back to the group.
"Sounds like a plan," Ashley spoke. "But...who is going to be in which group?"
We all thought about it. I then began to speak.
"Well...I'll go with the one in the world I live on. So, Richard, Star, Evelyn, were going to be group one."
"Well," Yuki spoke, if we are going to do it like that...Hunter, Realm, and I would be the second group."
That leaves us the Devin and I for the third group," Ashley spoke.
"Okay then," I spoke. "Here is the deal. If we must separate, we know what group to go and try to escape from getting caught."
Hunter began to speak. "They're still staring at us." I slightly looked at one of them and saw them still there.
"We need to get a move on." The others agreed and we continued to another exit, excluding the ones we already been through.
I thought to myself, "Why do they look like my characters from my drawings. Also...why does Devin, Ashley, Realm, Yuki, and Hunter, look like the characters from my drawings also. And why do they have the same names as my characters."
I began to sigh and shook my head, trying not to think much about it, while I continued to walk.
While we continued to find an exit, Sora, Riku, and Kairi are at Radiant Garden.
"Ah," Sora said out loud, "it's nice to be back here."
"I take it that you came across this world?" Riku asked Sora.
Sora responded, "Yep. Oh! You should meet Leon and the others. Come on! I show you where they meet at!" With that, Sora ran off to the Borough.
"Sora!" Kairi shouted, but Sora kept running. Riku sighed. "What can you do." With that, Riku walked towards the stairs.
"Riku!" Kairi shouted, but he kept walking. She then sped up and walked next to him.
Now then, back to our perspective, we eventually found an exit.
Before we towards it, there was this news report, on a television, well, multiple televisions, in a shop. But, it was loud enough, that I could hear it.
I stopped and listened.
("Dear god, I, the narrator/author spoke. How would I make up the cast for the report.")
There are two...whats their positions. One is a male tiger, and the other, a vixen with red fur(which I think its a European fox, or whatever the species name is).
"This is Animal News(dear god, I'm getting desperate with names) with a special report," said the feline.
"Thank you King(...Way better than Tom)", said the vixen.
"We have an interesting mystery robbery. We learned that more than a hundred shops, especially jewelry, clothes, and many other valuable stores, were robbed. Samuel is at one of the scenes." With that, a male German Shepard news reporter, appeared on-screen. "Thank you Samatha," Samuel said, probably referring to the vixen.
"I'm here at the crime scenes, where one of the shop keepers were stolen from." With that he pointed the microphone to a Wolf with gray fur.
"Tell us sir, what happened here? Samuel asked the wolf.
"Well," the wolf began to speak, "the moment I turned around, while alone, I turned back finding everything stolen! When I looked at the cameras, I found saw all the jewelry gone in an instant!"
In our position, I began to think of, how it happened. But, Realm told us, we had to get a move on. So we did.
The moment we began to leave, I saw someone in a cloak coming inside the store. In that moment, I instantly fell unconscious, only remembering see that cloaked figure.
My body went towards that stranger. My body stood in front of him, which led him to stop.
We both didn't speak at first, but, my arm reached for his shoulder and spoke, "I know you stole those items. Thief Thievery." With that, the stranger gasped, then moved aside my hand and disappearing, like he wasn't there.
"Hey!" Evelyn yelled. "Get your butt over here!" With that, I was conscious and looked at her, staring at me at the exit. I went towards her and we left, catching up with the others.
"May I ask, what that was about with that person?" I gasped as I walked. "I...don't know." With that, I kept on walking.
As we came across a cross walk, we waited for the sign to walk. Luckey, we were alone, without having to worry about someone being next to us or behind us.
Hunter began to gasp. "There are Heartless coming!"
Before I could react with words, a bunch of Heartless appeared in the middle of the road. "What the hell!" I cursed out loud.
I became anxious, of what to do. There were many possibilities I could think of, if one of us had to fight the Heartless. But, I couldn't think of any, since we had to worry about the Heartless instead. I became scared. However, one of us ran towards the Heartless with a Keyblade in hand. It was Realm that was going to fight. With that Hunter began to speak. "All right! I didn't get to fight yet!" With that, he entered the fight with his Keyblade in hand. Yuki also joined in the fray.
"Well, Devin spoke, "this will be interesting indeed." With that spoken, Devin joined the fight also. "Devin!" Ashley shouted. "Wait!" Ashley then ran after Devin, possibly forced to join the fight.
I stared at them, fighting, while there were the citizens screaming and panicking, along with bystanders, recording what's happening with their phones. I Then heard something from above and it turned to be a new helicopter-or something like that. To make matters worse, I heard sirens, which led me to believe the police or some authority will be involved in this.
"What just happen here." I spoke with confused and anxious. Suddenly, Richard, Evelyn, and Star, fell to the ground, unconscious.
I then felt dizzy and eventually fell unconscious to the ground. In the fighting, Realm slashed a Heartless with his Keyblade, Hunter killed many with his Keyblade, so did Yuki.
Devin however, stood still with his eyes closed, chanting something. "Fire that burns the land. Destroy everything in your path. Kill once and let the ashes rebirth. LET THERE BE FLAMES! FIRE STORM!" With that, fire surrounded everyone and within a certain radius, that the Heartless became vanquished and turned into a dark essence.
So, the battle became over. That's what they thought. Realm quickly reacted and shielded everyone by putting a barrier over them. The others reacted at what Realm did, but soon found out, when they heard something, like an impact. They looked up and saw a Darkside head above them, while one of its arms are touching the barrier.
It got up and stood tall, while its feet crushed a car underneath them.
The barrier disappeared and everyone got in their battle stances.
(Kingdom Hearts II: Sinister Shadows)
Before anyone could attack, Richard, Star, Evelyn, and I were behind its head, and disappeared. We then appeared in front of the others, in a pose, that let them know, we attacked it. The four of us had a Keyblade in hand. My was the Kingdom Key, Richard's Keyblade is a short reach-sword, that is pointy at the end and the teeth are on both sides, which looked like an arch, the grip had a zigzag pattern with green and black, while the guard is two angle wings, and the key chain is an hour-glass, surrounded by web.
Star's Keyblade is a flower designed one. The tip is a white rose with a yellow center, the blade part is a green stem with thorns, mixed with black, along with a yellow star.
The grip had a flower design, which appeared not to be wield-able, but somehow, it's wielded. The first layer is black, while the second is pink, and the third, black.
The chain for the Keyblade is a green stem, while a pink rose with black corners is the key chain. Also, it's very long in reach.
Evelyn's Keyblade looks like something from "The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword". The tip is three Nayru's orbs, along the blade, is Link's(Zelda's) sail cloth, and there is a black mark, with semi-circles on both sides. The guard is the "Goddess Harp" and the key chain is the Triforce.
Suddenly, the Heartless touched its head with its left hand. We moved our bodies out of the pose and turned around.
We got in our battle stances. As expected, more Heartless came. Some from the air and from below.
I was the first one to move. A bunch of Shadows decided to pounce on me, at all at once. But, a bunch of thunder or lighting bolts appeared from out of nowhere, which made me hesitate and look back. I saw Devin with a book, which I considered, he was the one to summon the thunder. I nodded and went back to the fighting.
The Heartless from the air began to swoop down and tried to attack me. On my last step I put all the pressure on my feet and jumped at them and swung my Keyblade, vanquishing them. I eventually fell to the ground, and kept on running towards the Darkside. I heard screaming, which sounded like Ashley's voice. I stopped and turned around, to only find the others surrounded. There were Heartless coming out of the glass of buildings and walls, and from inside the buildings. They became occupied for the time being. I quickly turned around, only to find myself in the same situation.
"This is getting on my nerves!" I said to myself, being annoyed by the swarms and swarms of Heartless. I then quickly realized something. I looked in directions and found the several inhabitants trapped. They were about to get their heart stolen. Good thing they, were close to each other. I turned my attention on them, annihilating the Heartless, trying to get their aid. I eventually made it in time and killed the Heartless that was about to pounce on them. In my eyes, I saw a male teenage male deer/buck and a teenage horse. "Get going," I said to them. They shivered but nodded to my response and ran away.
I then turned around and saw another victim on a roof. It was that cloak figure from earlier in the mall. I was about to help him, but the stranger jumped of the roof and landed on the ground, looking un-hurt. I ran towards that person, looking in my direction. When I was near the stranger, that person removed the hood of the cloak and revealed their identity. It was a male human, about in his teen's, he had a blond hair and blue eyes. I took notice that his cloak is green.
He looked un-nerved, having a neutral expression. "It appears your companions need help. I'll go help them, but you better hurry and take out the big boss." With that he disappeared. I looked confused, but I shook it off and went towards the Darkside. As I got near, I saw the newcomer with dagger in hand. He appeared in one place and the other, while somehow he took down the Heartless. I assumed he is so fast, he can attack and couldn't get scratched in the process. I left it to him to help the others.
When I faced the Darkside. It raised its arm and its hand started to glow dark, with a purple center in it, and punch the ground. I felt the shaken ground but, I used this chance to jump on its arm, and jump on its head, and stab its head with the Keyblade. That one blow ended it.
The Darkside's body began to fade away. Its body completely faded into the darkness and I ended up touching the ground with Keyblade in hand.
I noticed that there are less Heartless around. I saw the others scattered about, still fighting the Heartless. I turned around to see if there were any Heartless. And there was.
I ran towards them, annihilating them.
In Sora's, Riku's, and Kairi's positions, they are fighting a bunch of Heartless in different sections of the world of Radiant Garden.
Sora is with Leon, Riku with Yuffie, and Kairi with Tifa and Aerith.
"Is there no end to them," they all said, but in different perspectives. They kept fighting, like we.
Back to our positions, we still had a group of Heartless left. We worked together and finished them off. But, that wasn't the end of it. Hunter took notice and warned us, that there are Heartless falling from above. They eventually landed on the ground. We kept continuing fighting.
Eventually, after a while, my body became tired. I barely had enough strength to fight and move. I also noticed that Star and Evelyn looked worn out.
The Heartless just kept coming, until...they instantly disappeared.
(End of: Sinister Shadows)
This even happened in Radiant Garden. Everyone that was fighting, became confused. Except for Realm...maybe.
I Dismissed the Keyblade, which turned into light and disappeared. Before I could think about what just happened. I heard sirens, that the police cars used.
"They sure took their time." I said out loud and looked at the group. "Anyway...we need leave and hide." With that, we heard a whistle. I looked at the direction, where I could pin-point the source. I only saw that stranger from earlier, who was in a man-hole. He gestured us to hurry up. I shrugged and went to join him, and so did the others.
Soon enough, as the last person who went it, which was Realm, he closed the man-hole and climbed down the metal ladder.
We were spread enough, to form a un-even line. As Realm came down to the ground, Hunter began to ask questions. "Who are you?"
The male human didn't respond. "I said. WHO ARE YOU!" Hunter shouted this time, but Yuki quickly responded.
"Onii-chan. Keep your voice down. We can't have no more to hear us."
Hunter growled and crossed his arms. For Richard, Star, Evelyn, and I, suddenly fell unconscious(with our eyes closed).
The others saw what happened.
"Oh dear," the stranger said. "And who is the one who carries them?"
Back at Radiant Garden, Sora and the others are in Merlin's house, discussing some matters.
"I still don't get why, the Heartless would just disappear like that, Leon said, in his signature pose, by standing and leaning on the wall, with his arms crossed and eyes closed/or open(your choice).
"It doesn't make any sense."
"Well," Merlin began to speak, "lets think of the positive and thank goodness, the problem is over now. Or...for the time being."
"Well, Yuffie spoke, "I'm happy were done fighting for now. I thought I was about to keel over. And that wouldn't do anyone good."
Leon got off the wall and began to speak. "There is the other matter of protecting the people. We won't be able to restore this world to its former glory, if any of the Heartless take the hearts of the people here. If something like what happened just today, happens again, there is a possibility we end up losing in the end. We can't let this happen again. We barely won the war against the Heartless, thanks to everyone's help on that day."
The room became quiet. Cid began to stop for a moment on his computer and turn his chair around and speak. "Well...I managed to upgrade our defenses, if in case an outbreak were to happen."
"Good job," Aierth said with a smile. Cid rubbed the back of his head in modestly. "It ain't nothin'. But I think it should do for the time bein'."
"Good job Cid," Leon said. Cid took notice of the compliment. "Yeah...thanks." With that, he went back to the computer, doing something.
"Hey Leon," Sora began to speak this time, which got Leon's attention, "before we were involved with fighting the Heartless, we were told to find someone here. I think the person were suppose to look for, goes by the name of..."
Before Sora could finish the sentence, he forgot the name of the person they're supposed to look for. "Uh...I forgot their name," Sora said with a nervous chuckle.
Riku sighed and shrugged. "Totally like you Sora."
Sora began to respond to the insult.
"And what's that suppose to mean!" Riku responded. "It means, your still the same person from the Islands. Always slacking off, when you were given something so simple to do."
Riku then looked at Leon. "Anyway, we were told to find a woman who goes by Shirley. We were told, that we need her help to access a new world that was discovered by Yen Sid. Even he didn't know about its existence."
"New...World?" Leon said with curiosity. Riku nodded. Leon gave Riku the bad news. "Sorry. I didn't see her today, or her daughter either. Sorry...but I can't be much of help to you for now. Now then. I'm going to check out the town, to see if anything is up." With that he left the house and closed the door.
"Well," Kairi said, "he is sure busy."
"Oh trust me Kairi," Yuffie said, "he's doing his best to see this town is safe. Although...we could use more help around here, in case if the Heartless began to attack again.
We lost Cloud, but we have Tiffa for now. But...I should get going now. Take care." With that, smoke appeared around Yuffie and she disappeared.
Sora began to sigh. "Man. What luck do we have." Kairi then put her hand on his shoulder and smiled, which Sora turned confused at first, but smile back.
"Okay you two," Riku said, "time to break it up and get going."
"Take care now," Aierth said with a smile. The three nodded and proceeded to exit out of the house. The moment they left the house, someone in a black coat watched them. Sora let out a "huh", and looked at the sky behind him, thinking he sensed something. He found no one and kept his guard up, when catching up with the others.
But, the figure appeared on the roof of Merlin's house and disappearing again, by using a corridor of darkness this time.
Back in my position, I began to wake up with a yawn. My sight was a blur at first, but, when I started to breathe through my nostrils/nose, I smelled something foul, which awakened my senses. I eventually noticed that I'm being carried. It was dark, yet, there was enough light to see. The person carrying me stopped and spoke.
"Can you...walk?" I noticed it was Realm's voice.
"Uh," I started to speak, "yes."
With that, Realm crouched down, signaling me to get off his back, which I did. Realm moved his body upwards and started to walk. If of course walked with the others.
I also noticed that Ashley carried star, Devin carried Evelyn, and Hunter carried Richard on their backs. I glared at Hunter, for touching Richard. Of course, I glared at him, behind his back. Anyway, continued walking until we came to a stop.
It turns out, it was that stranger who lead the way this whole time.
"We should be a distance away from the commotion. So," he said, then pointing above the manhole, which is circular, "let's get going."
With that, he went first, to get out then Realm and so did the others. The ones who were carrying, Evelyn, Star, and Richard, push them up and we help pull them up and put them aside on the ground. I notice we are still in the city. I put the hood on my coat over my head to shield my identity.
We all eventually got out, and when that happened, Richard, Star, and Evelyn began to wake up.
"What happened," Evelyn said, still tired. "We entered the sewers, fell unconscious, I woke up, saw the three of you still asleep, I experienced what a sewer smells like, got out, noticed that we were in the city still, and you three just awoke." I said, summarizing what happened in a nutshell(or a simplified summary).
I offered my hand, which she took and I pulled her up. The other two got up and the stranger began to talk.
"I suggest you nine get going." I looked at him with a confused reaction. "And where are you going?" I asked him, being curious.
He smirked. "Well. Since I'm stuck here...I might as well provide myself as a decoy to help you escape or find out how to leave this place. Either way, your on your own for the most part."
"You sure you don't want to-don't," Devin spoke, interrupting me.
"He knows he can't associate with us." The stranger and I both gasped, but Devin continued speaking.
"I can tell what you do, by looking at you dagger, hidden by your cloak." The stranger gasped even more with anxiety this time.
"You're a thief." The stranger looked down with his eyes shut and his hands clutched. He turned around and started to walk away.
"Wait!" I shouted at him, for some reason. But, as he continued to keep walking, he bumped into something. He reacted by putting his right hand on his face for comfort.
He look up and saw a barrier. In my perspective, it looked like the barrier from the Kingdom Hearts games. I knew he couldn't leave in the direction he wanted.
He sighed and walked back to us. "It looks like I will have to join you this time."
Devin then spoke at him. "I really don't have interest in you...yet. But, be forewarned. Steal from me and there will be consequences. With that, Devin left and walked in the other direction. The others followed him, leaving me and the kid/guy by ourselves. Before I could walk, there was something telling me to comfort the guy.
So, I turned around and went towards the kid and put my right hand on his shoulder. "The name is Angelo." I said with a smile.
The stranger showed a tiny smile. "My name," he spoke, "is Thief. Thief Thievery." I moved my hand off of his shoulder and put it to my side of my body.
I reacted to his name with a raised eye brow. He giggle. "You really should look at your expression. It's funny." With that, I closed my eyes briefly and tilted my head. "Meh." I spoke.
He stopped giggling and got serious, but he had a smile. "We should catch up with the others." With that I nodded and we both started to run, but we made sure to hide our identities with out hood and cloak.
Anyway, Sora, Riku, and Kairi, found the world they were looking for and we were in.
They were floating in space and trying to think of a way to enter the world, since they couldn't enter the first time.
Suddenly, a white door appeared in front of them. Before they could react by thinking, it opened and a bright light engulfed them, sucking them in.
Sora, Riku, and Kairi could eventually see, since the light was fading away. They were falling down, and were giving a task to do, if they wanted to reach the world.
Riku and Sora knew what to do, since they did the same exact task, when taking the "Mark of Mastery".
Sora and Riku smiled at each other and got ready by summoning their Keyblades. Kairi caught on and summoned the Destiny's Embrace Keyblade.
The three are ready for their task.
Back in our position, I was walking with others, but I became to tired, since Thief and I ran to catch up, but I was the slow one and I lost to much stamina.
I tried my best not to complain, since of our situation. We kept walking, until there was a helicopter above us. Make that multiple air crafts. There were ropes leading to the street. We saw many anthropomorphic animals in military clothing(trying to make this up as I go) grabbing on the rope and sliding down on the ground.
I gasped. "Damn it! Were caught already!" We became surrounded. We got in battle positions/stances getting ready to stand our ground(or whatever you like to call it).
"Wait a minuet," I spoke. "Why is the military here-or are they the military?!"
(Kingdom Hearts - An Intense Situation)
On top of the nearest-tallest building, three figures in black coats were watching from above, kneeling.
"Wow," said on of them. "This is very unusual. I didn't expect higher forces in this world to catch on about our existence. Even those nine were obviously attracting themselves, by staying a group. Yuki. Hunter. Even though I was order to annihilate that 'pest'. Lets...give them a hand this time."
With that, he got up and raised his right hand and snapped. The effect of doing that, engulfed the air crafts in darkness and vanish, leaving only the air.
In my situation, there was panick and confusion. There are only soldiers on foot now.
With that in our favor, Realm used the advantage, by summoning his Keyblade, disappearing and re-appearing and taking out the soldiers.
Devin created a barrier for us, before they began shooting. Ashley then chanted something.
"Wind that guides the lost souls. Hear thy plea. Come forth to our aid and create us a path to sanctuary. Heaven's Guide!"
With that, we were covered in light and to the animals, they assumed we vanished out of thin air or something like that. But, we were still in the same spots we where, but Ashley told us to follow the "path of light". Which was visible to us, but we ran on the path, trying to escape. The bad consequence was, Realm is still fighting, and there was the shooting part that still went on, which we tried not to get shot in the process.
(End of An Intense Situation)
When we got away from the shooting and stuff, I was lagging behind. But, for some reason, I had more stamina than I usually had. As we kept continuing running, I look at the sky and saw a portal. I then felt like I was off the ground. I quickly look at the ground and saw myself floating. I saw the others were floating also.
We were getting closer to the portal. When I got close enough, it turns out there was a white door. It opened, shining brightly, that I had to shield my eyes.
I eventually opened them only to find, I'm still floating, but everything was white. I saw the others. Suddenly, the white changed and gave form. We were in the same place that we entered, before we could reach the world we were in. Although, it look like the inside of a corridor of darkness then anything, but, a light version. Then again, I could be wrong. Anyway, I saw three figures coming our way and it was a surprise who they were.
It was Sora, Kairi, and Riku. The four of us gasped. I thought to myself, "Why are they here?"
They were getting close, but, they stopped moving and were pushed back to the other direction they came from. Suddenly, I started to glow. I looked back to the others and they were glowing also. Then, my body felt like, I wasn't in control of it. My body became forced to fall down and go back to that world. I saw the others, moved in different directions, but, Richard, Star, and Evelyn disappeared.
The last thing I saw, before I fell into unconsciousness, was three shadow figures, reaching out to me.
Somewhere on the world I came back to, but different time and day, I became conscious.
I opened my eyes. My eye sight was blurry at first, but, I could see better eventually.
I moved my upper torso upwards, and put my right hand on my head.
"What," I spoke, "what happened...to me." I then heard footsteps.
I look straight forward and saw...furry legs. I slowly looked up and saw a group of anthropomorphic animals.
There are: two tigers, one white with stripes and the other orange with stripes, a gray wolf, and what to be appeared as an arctic fox with glasses. They wore human clothing, but, no human hair(in my opinion, which is great-or something like that).
The Gray wolf had all gray clothing, including his iris'. The white tiger wore...something what-I guess, American Football players would wear, but he had pants with pockets on both sides and near his knees(or what the anatomy name would be for them), and he had blue iris'. The tiger with orange fur had black stripes, and the same color iris', that any other average tiger would have. He is wearing an orange shirt and orange pants.
The arctic fox has white fur(obviously...to me that is), he has...blue iris's. He is wearing a white shirt, and white pants. In my perspective, he looks short. I'm guessing about, 5 feet or 5'1'. Then again, I'm on the floor, so yeah.
By their features, they look all male.
Anyway, I stared at them. We didn't talk at first, but the wolf grin.
"I swear," I thought to myself. "They look-wait a minuet. Are they-," before I could finish talking in my head, the wolf offer his hand...er-paw. I took it, trying not to offend him.
I got up and let go of his paw and he spoke in a loud voice.
"HELLO. CAN YOU UNDERSTAND ME."
I looked at him weird. "Uh...Yes I can. I think that was unnecessary of what you did."
"It," the fox began to studder, "it talks!" I rolled my eyes in reply to his sentence.
"YES. I can talk. However, I was wondering if you creatures would have a language I couldn't understand, due to the fact...uh...ahem. Due the fact this planet is...differnt, yet, you can speak the American-English language. Which...is a good thing for me, since I could understand you.
The wolf grinned. "Well, sure... Anyway, to answer your question earlier, we're in White's place," the wolf said, pointing to the white tiger, who isn't showing much expression. "Oh, we haven't introduced ourselves. "I'm, before he could finish, I interrupted him and finished his sentence, "Realm."
The wolf looked at me in surprised and began to speak. "How did you...know that?"
I replied, "Well...you just look like someone I 'know'. "
"Anyway," Realm said, "the fox is goes by-Lost," I spoke, interrupting Realm again.
Realm stared at me with an un-amused expression and his arms crossed. I nervously chuckled and rubbed the back of my head.
Realm rolled his eyes and went back to walking. "Anyway, the other tiger goes by Stripe."
"Wait a minuet," I spoke to them. "When you said 'goes by'...does that mean the four of you met recently?"
The four nodded.
"Huh. Well...as much as I want to...I really can't stay on this planet and that's for sure. And...we just met...so...I really would ask too much any of you could keep my existence a secret and hide me. But...well...yeah. But...can you do, unless-you can keep the secret-but...I could leave and find my way back to my planet. That, or hide in forest or something. Then again...I lack survival skills in the wilderness."
I closed my eyes and pondered on the thought of what to do. I then realized something. I opened my eyes and asked a question.
"Um...what day is it and how did I get in this house? Wait. Let me re-phrase that last part. How did I get here?"
"Today is Christmas day and we found you falling nearby," White explained with an emotionless voice, similar to Realm.
"Huh," I spoke. "Well...how did you manage that," I stopped in my sentence as I realized another thing. I look at my clothes and saw different clothing.
I wore a white shirt and black pants with pockets.
"Uh...why am I...wearing these clothing?"
White began to speak. "We found you in those. We were fortunate to find you, when it was midnight today and carry you to this house. But, there was another with us. A fox with white fur, which I presume he was an arctic fox. He had a necklace with a cross on it though. Didn't speak much though. But he did help drawing attention away from us. Anyway, its early in the morning. The three of you can sleep here for now, if you want."
I knew he was speaking to the other animals around him.
"Sorry," the fox said, "but, I'm to excited from this earlier."
"I would agree also," Stripe said, sounding timid in his voice.
Realm just shook his head. "Nah. I prefer knowing this guy better," he said, most likely reffering to me.
"Agreed," White spoke. The four looked at me. I backed away a bit. "Um...can I get something to eat? I didn't get to eat yet."
On cue, my stomach began to growl. I chuckled nervously.
White nodded. "Follow me," he said, going towards a door, which we followed him into. The dinner room look wide, almost like, I was in mansion or something.
Later, there were maids and servants, and a butler. The servants removed the lids and we saw our meal. There was meat and vegitables, also water in cups.
The servants than moved to the walls with the maids and bowed and left the room in one direction. The butler stayed behind White, most likely acting like a body guard or waiting for his orders. I just assumed, White is wealthy, I realized I am in a mansion, due to the previous room begin to large in space and clean and I looked outside the window and saw a garden. I tried to show the proper table matters but, the situation became...akward. I kept trying to keep my posture and trying to remember which silver ware I was supposed to use. Then, White spoke up.
"None of you don't have to use tables manners with silver ware. But...try to not a make a mess for me to clean up. Especially you," he said, with the last word, he looked at me.
I slightly looked away from his gaze. I then realized something. I looked at him, still staring. "What did you mean...'not make a mess for you to clean up'? I thought the servants or maids or whoever, does the cleaning."
The tiger grin. He let out a small chuckle. The butler took notice of this and look, what's the word, surprised or flabbergasted. I also had an expression of being scared now.
"Wow. Out of everyone outside of this house hold, I said that to, you're the first one to realize it. Then again I rarely get guests, due to the fact I get rid of them."
I noticed the other three stopped eating and listen on the conversation as the tiger kept talking.
"Well then...This is the first time-in a long time, I showed other emotions. You really have helped me got back my lost emotions I couldn't express anymore. I thank you."
I looked at him odd. "Uh-huh. Kay. I guess...your welcome." I then changed the subject.
"Anyway...hold old are the four of you.
The four identified their ages. White is fifteen-going on to sixteen. Stripe, Realm, and Lost are fifteen-going on to sixteen also.
"I fifteen-going on to sixteen in two months."
They look at me with amazement.
"You really look like your about to be sixteen," Lost said. Stripe nodded.
We talked for a while and eventually finished breakfast. After that, White gather the dishes and cleaned them, while we waited in the living room, which was the previous room we left. We waited for him to finish and he eventually came out and joined us around the christmas tree they put up, with presents near it. White told us to sit down on the floor, which we did. I had my legs cross and so did the others, which looked weird, due to their realistic animal anatomy.
"Well," I spoke, "are you any of you going to keep me a secret?" The four nodded. "Can any of you give me shelter?" Stripe, Realm, and Lost shook their heads.
"I'll be the one to provide that," White spoke. "I told the others to keep you a secret, since I don't want any attention to myself. And...I can be isolated from public very much. Also, the three of you can come here anytime you want. However, if you feel like you being followed here, which would lead someone to presume I'm friends with any of you, notices that you visit here frequently, DO NOT TELL HIM WHAT YOU SEE IN THIS HOUSE. Especially the media. I can't tolerate anymore of their questions of my life."
I looked at White with sympathy. I sighed. "Well," I spoke, before I could trust any of you with my information, I need to know about this planet, if there is culture, different languages, races or what is your species, if you know politics, food source, creatures on this planet, any racism/specism or any hate towards certain species, etc."
And with that, after a long time, I learned different stereotypes, like, foxes being sneaky, un-trustful, sly, liars, etc. There are politics in this planet. Basically, the same situations like on earth, but, their were different things of the opposite, which involves the animals. They know there are many different species of animals on this planet and they know their animals. They eat the feral version of prey, like pigs, cattle, etc. Back then, they would eat the intelligent ones, and treat them like prey(basically, anthro wolves hunting anthro elk, deer, et cetra), but, most of the population became to civilized and stopped doing it, but, there are those who still do it(which reminds me of vore). I learned their continets were the same as the Earth I'm from and its cities and civilzations, also oceans and seas. I asked them "why they are wearing clothes," and they told me, they aren't comfortable being naked, except for White, which he shared with us. I found it completely disturbing.
Anyways, in summerzation, they have the same things, methods, et cetra-mirrored like Earth, but, differnt point of views as animals and more consequences in my opinion. Also, they have weapons and from the past. I had enough information how this world works.
I then told them the truth, that I come from Earth, but, from the real verison of it and told my species and told them the sad truth.
"The thing about us humans. What I learned from asking questions and stuff, you animals and including our animals, have to soul at all."
They were shocked and didn't speak a word.
"There is one more thing you should know." With that, I told them the truth about this planet being fictional and they aren't real without us humans. I told them about anthropormorhicism and they understood what I said. But, I told them that if the creatures on this planet are bounded to their creators.
I told them that, if the a human dies and wrote stories or put artwork on the interent or something in general, that character in this fictional planet, in a way, dies with their creators. Unless...they could pass it on to someone else, but, it wouldn't be the same, since they know their exact personallity, habits, traits, etc.
"The thing about me...I don't know why I'm here. This could all be a dream, but, it seems so real. I wonder why." I then shook my head and looked at the others, who were still in shock.
"Don't worry," I said with a smile. "I learned from my teacher, 'it's not scary if you don't think about it'. Well, I think those were not his exact words, but its similar. So... don't think about and live your lives." The four gasped, but, they weren't shocked no more. Stripe smiled.
"Your right," he said. "Now we know the truth, we have more of a reason to keep you a secret."
Lost gasped, but he smiled. "I guess...your right. However, how is he going to get the exercise he needs and how is going to keep learning about this planet?"
I cringed at the word "excercise".
"I got some books he could read," Realm spoke. "I have equipment he could use and he could sleep in the atic or basement."
I showed an un-amused look a the four. "Can you stop refering me in the third person. I'm right here you know." The four looked at me with amusment.
"Well then," White said, "the three of can get the supplies, while I'll show him the his quarters." The three nodded, got up and began to leave to get supplies.
I got up and so did White. "Wait," I shouted. They turned back to look at me, only a short distance away from me. I moved to the side and looked the four. "My name is Angelo Devenecia(de-veh-ne-she-a)."
The four smiled and Stripe, Realm, and Lost went to go get the things, leaving me and White by ourselves.
White told me to follow him to show my quarters.
What I didn't know there was someone in a black coat in the empty living room. The person then disappeared in a corridor of darkness and vanished.
To be continued...
