Chapter 12, mind your marks now people! Disclaimer action!
Cerebella: Herochan1313 doesn't own Kingdom hearts or Skull girls, just plot and OCs. Also he apologizes in advance for a certain part later on in this chapter.
A black and white movie reel appears and the words "Canopy Kingdom" show up before the reel starts to stop moving and fades away.
"I can't see anything so bad about this world, but then again knowing who Herochan summoned from here I shouldn't say that." Kairi said as they entered Canopy in a bustling
city known as New Meridian. The girls were feeling a bit odd without Herochan and the guys with them, but as Darkness insisted they had a few friends here that could help
them out." By the way Braylia, do you sense any Existed here?" Light asked the new team mate, startling the girl. She began to fiddle with her feathers again and couldn't look
Light in the eyes, since she was technically Braylia's stepmother, but answered. "Yes, I can sense a few Lackeys and two Full bloods somewhere within the world, but I can't
pin point them." Her terms confused the others so she explained to them more about the four classes of Existed. "First off there are the Lackeys, lower leveled minions who
cannot take human shape by themselves. They mostly are parasitic in shape and launch on to evil beings to take new forms. However they are rare, the body will only turn into
them if Heartless or Nobody is not an option." Kairi took this chance to interrupt her. "Like those Mosquito things we fought back at Radiant Garden?" Braylia nodded and
continued. "Next are the full bloods, like mom and Rugon. They are higher in power and can change into anything, but offer take a certain form that they think reflects their
personality. Their true forms are the third class and most often are something UN-pleasant to look at." As she explained this the group had been exploring a bit and noticed a
small movement in the shadows behind them. "So what's the last class?" Vivian wrote, in an attempt to pretend they didn't notice their follower. Vivian in question had been
quiet up to that point, more than normal, and that was likely because of her make over Braylia had given her. "Oh … it's the half-bloods like me. Half Existed or those overtaken
by Lackeys, although I'm the only one in the former. Shouldn't we have found father's friends by now?" Just as she asked this Darkness lunched at the person who had been
following them and exclaimed. "We just did!" She returned moments later with possibly the strangest looking person they had seen thus far. She was a tall middle aged cat
woman, who was wearing shredded clothes and her limbs seemed to be a bit… Lax. [1] "Hey I didn't steal the yarn this time! I'm purrfecty innocent!" The cat lady said as
Darkness dragged her into the light of the city. The strange lady then began to sniff Darkness and exclaimed. "Hey you smell like that one guy, Herochan. You guys know him?"
This surprised them but before they could answer a voice rang out. "Freeze!" They found another person behind them; a tall red haired woman dressed in business like clothes
an armed with an umbrella [2]. "Not five minutes here and already this world is already creeping me out." Kairi thought as the umbrella lady drew closer. At this time the cat
lady decided to book it, so she ripped off the arm Darkness was holding on to and ran off with it. This greatly scared the party but before they could figure out what happened
the other lady stepped up and told them. "You people, I assume you are the "Allies" that his majesty Herochan called me about?" They were filled with relief at her saying this
and Kairi spoke up. "Yes we're the allies; do you know Herochan as well?" The woman nodded and lowered her umbrella as she introduced herself. "I am Parasoul, princess of
the Canopy kingdom and leader of the Black Egrets military unit. I met your king some time ago and he helped me try and catch Ms. Fortune." "Ms. Fortune?" Auzuel asked.
"That criminal who just ran off, an UN-killable cat thief that I have been trailing for years now. But enough about that. You all should follow me so we may talk with the others."
Parasoul answered. She began to lead them out of New Meridian to her headquarters in Canopy castle when her umbrella started to talk. Whatever it said it was in a strange
language and it sounded upset. "Uh miss Parasoul? Did your umbrella just talk?" Braylia asked as they all stared at the thing. "Hm? Oh you mean Krieg? Yes he's a bit miffed
about something or another, but to be honest I can't understand him all that well." Parasoul replied as she stuck the living umbrella on her back, something it didn't seem to
like. "He's saying he's upset that you didn't introduce him sooner." Darkness said earning a look from the others as she added. "What? I can understand him." Soon they made
it to the headquarters of the Black Egrets and meet up with more strange people. The only one who they recognized right away was Cerebella, who crushed them all in a hug
with her hat Vice-Versa. Next to her was a thin teenager who wore a school outfit of sorts and had some … thing on top of her head. It was a living parasite of sorts and it
seemed to be yelling and cursing at the girl every few seconds. [3] Finally next to her was another odd ball, a strange looking girl who had a dress and top hat on, with metal
robotic body parts. She was humming something to herself as she poured herself some tea from a nearby kettle' only to eat the cup itself. [4] "This is Filia and Peacock, and I
believe you already know Cerebella." Parasoul said, saying Cerebella's name with a bit of venom, and introductions were made. "So you palookas need help finding something?
You after the Skull heart too?" Peacock asked them as she began cleaning her metal teeth with a toothpick. "Skull heart? What's that something that can make a man fall for
you?" Heroine chan asked. They mostly ignored her comment and Filia fielded the question. "The skull heart is an object that grants women their deepest desires, providing
there is no evil in their heart. If there is they transform into a killing machine known as the Skull girl." They took this in and Light asked. "So what you're saying is that we can't
let Darkness use it?" Her sister smacked her for this and the group decided to head out and find sighs of the Existed. Kairi however noticed that Filia was lagging a bit behind.
She slower her pace and asked a very surprised Filia what was wrong. "It's… nothing. I'm just worried about finding the Skull heart." "Why? Is your wish that important?" Kairi
asked. Filia nodded and explained her story; apparently the parasite on her head, Samson, had attached itself to her one day and when she awoke she had no memories.
"So… you're going to wish for your memories back?" Kairi asked. Samson chose this moment to add. "Yeah and she wants to get rid of me too, can you imagine?" His voice was
ruff and sounded like a middle aged man who'd been drinking for a long time, so yes she could imagine. " The heart can grant multiple wishes at once, what will you wish for?"
This caught the keyweilder off guard and Kairi thought about that. What could she wish for? She already had Sora, so she couldn't think of anything. She wondered what the
others would wish for when she felt a strange pair of arms grabbed her by the waist. She turned and saw Heroine chan behind her with a look of what she prayed wasn't lust.
"My little Princess, lost in thought?" Kairi began to grow really uncomfortable as she asked Heroine chan what she was doing. "Isn't it obvious? I was wondering how warm you
were. If you want I could answer your question on how my lips taste-"That was as far as the Succubus got as Filia used Samson to grab the girl off her new friends and tossed
her overhead. "What was that about?" Kairi asked as the others stopped moving to see what was wrong. "She's a succubus Kai; they tend to flirt with everything that moves."
Auzuel answered as she shivered, making Kairi wonder if she was the only victim of the succubus. A sudden beeping from Krieg made them pause and Parasoul frowned as
she read. "Interesting, it would seem as if there is some Existed within the area, along with something else." As if on cue they heard a loud bang and they found Heroine chan
up ahead facing one of the full bloods. This Existed was in the form of a young school girl in a bubble gum pink outfit and blonde hair. In her hands was a candy cane of sorts
and she was giggle madly. [5] "Sakiri! What are you doing here?" Braylia asked as they readied themselves for a fight. The girl giggled and twirled the candy cane as she
replied. "Oh look it's the traitor! Am I still not allowed to snack?" She then took a bite of the candy cane and spit it out, causing a loud bang and a gunshot towards the party.
They dodged it and readied themselves as Heroine chan snapped and lunged at the girl screaming. "Inverse light!" Her arms began to glow and grew much bigger mimicking
Cerebella's Vice-Versa's arms. She surprised the Existed by grabbing her and with new strength began to spin her around with her. "Righteous Twister!" Attack. Sakiri grew
dizzy and was tossed aside right towards Peacock who drew a huge cartoony gun that shot out a knife that stabbed the Existed. "Ow, you guys are mean! " Sakiri whined as
she sat on the ground stomping her feet in rage. Just as they were about to resume the beating Cerebella began to scream and she yelled out. "Look! Up there!" She pointed
at the roof of a nearby building and they saw something that was pretty scary. It was a girl, or at least they assumed it was a girl, who wore a metal mask and had a huge
bladed wheel imbedded on her back [6]. She roared in pain and jumped down right on top of Cerebella and took her down hard. The others readied themselves and Sakiri took
this chance to run away, but instead of fighting Kairi gazed into the girl's "eyes" and ask. "Are you okay?"The others looked at her as if she was crazy and the girl looked at her
before saying. "Why would you care about a monster?" Kairi looked her straight in the eyes and said. "I don't think you're a monster. Can you tell me your name?" Once again
the girl hesitated but answered. "Painwheel, at least that's what it is now,." Kairi nodded and she felt a tap on her shoulder as Cerebella asked her. "Uh Kairi? You sure it's a
good idea to talk to her? She looks like more a head case then Head case!" Kairi brushed off the circus star's words and replied. "Everyone deserves a chance, even her."
Cerebella seemed a bit skeptical on that but decided to trust the girl. They then heard a loud growl and turned to Painwheel who would have blushed if she could. "Let's get
something to eat." Kairi said as she offered a hand to Painwheel.
Upon leaving the scene the party went straight to a nearby dinner in a questionable neighborhood run by fish people. So a totally normal day in the Canopy Kingdom. Just as
they entered there was a bit of a fight as Parasoul saw someone sitting in the dinner happily chowing down on a huge fish: Ms. Fortune herself. The leader of the Black Egrets
would have arrested her right then and there if the big fish-man chief hadn't angrily roared that they behave. So they sat down and ordered food while glaring daggers at each
other. Ms. Fortune was also glaring at Cerebella for some odd reason and when the waitress (a rather timid fish person by the name of Minette) came by for orders Kairi swore
that she heard the thief mutter. "Mafia loving freak." Once all their food was there Kairi began convincing Parasoul to let Painwheel accompany them. "Kairi, I'm sorry to say but
I don't think that's wise. I mean look at her." They turned and saw that Painwheel was having trouble eating her soup. She had attempted to pick up her spoon but her metal
attachments kept getting in the way. "You might as well ask me to allow that feline criminal to join us." At this Kairi began to blush and told Parasoul. "Well funny you should
mention that…" At this Parasoul slammed her hands on the counter and told Kairi there was no way she was along Ms. Fortune on the party. Then she saw something in Kairi's
eyes as the young princess looked at her. It was something far more important and bigger then Parasoul was or even would be. And if she didn't listen to Kairi then whatever
this thing was it would ensure that Parasoul would regret it. "Okay Kairi… but afterword's I still intend to arrest that cat." Ms. Fortune heard this and began rubbing on Kairi's
leg and purring (which both amused and scared the girl.) And as they resumed eating they learned more about the Canopiens wishes. Cerebella wanted her adoptive father
S love, Filia wanted her memories back, Peacock wished to return to her original body( also something about killing the man who thought up Disney on ice) Ms fortune wanted
her gang back to life( at this she shot a look at Cerebella), Parasoul wanted her mother back as well. To that extent they formed this temporary alliance, seeing as some of
them were sworn enemies.
Elsewhere in the quiet little suburb of Mapplecrest, Sakiri was getting chewed out. "If you were more focused on the mission then getting your ass any fatter we'd have killed
the traitor by now!" Her companion was saying as they talked in a small café. Her ally in question was her best friend, not that Existed could have such a claim, Seta. Thought
Sakiri would never admit it to her friend; she always thought Seta was beautiful. She had everything that Sakiri didn't; long, lush black hair, a body that had more curves then a
racetrack, and eyes as blue and deep as the Nile.[7] Sakiri also didn't want to admit that despite her complaining during these "talks" that she secretly loved every single word
and name her friend called her. "But Seta I was focused! I already told you that some freak monster girl attacked and I was forced to run away!" Set sighed and glared at her,
her eyes of the Nile drowning Sakiri and making her moan a little under her breath. "Really? Yet you had the time to stop by a bakery and get two dozen donuts?" That was
true as both girls were eating said baked goods as they talked (although Seta was merely nibbling.). Sakiri snapped out of her moaning fits, praying to whatever Existed gods
there were that her friend hadn't heard that, and began her false whining again. "Well I needed a snack! You know my powers are useless if I don't have a snack!" Seta looked
away from her friend and muttered something in Egyptian, another thing Sakiri loved about her friend. Seta then asked her just how much fat she wanted in her ass and Sakiri
had a very vivid image of Seta grabbing her so-called fat ass and having her way with it." My ass is not fat! You know damn well that this body never gets fat Seta!" Sakiri
exclaimed as she shoved three donuts into her mouth, devouring them in seconds. Seta sighed again and simple muttered something before looking at her friend and saying.
"Can we at least get this Skull heart before they do? I'm sure Lady Plasma would at least like us to obtain it." Sakiri nodded and Seta rose from her chair and began to dig into
her dress to find something. Just as she found what she was searching for, a gold necklace in the shape of an Egyptian coffin, her upper part of her dress lowered itself a bit
and Sakiri found herself drooling a bit. Seta failed to notice this as she opened the coffin and declared in a loud voice. "Oh mighty powers of the Duat, I call upon the rage of the
Pharaohs long since gone to help me smite my enemies! " A soft glow then began to emit from the necklace and within moments it coughed up three different creatures: A
mummy, a Sphinx, and Anubis the Egyptian god of death. All three bowed before her and asked for their orders. Seta smiled wickedly as she answered. " Find the ones not of
this world and destroy them!" They nodded and set off to find the party; while Seta noticed her friend's drool and grew a puzzled look as she asked. "Sakiri? Are you okay?
That donut is still in your hand." Sakiri finally managed to stop gawking at Seta's very impressive chest and wipe her mouth while she lied. "I'm fine! Just had to breathe for a
sec!" Seta's smile returned again and she walked over to her friend and grabbed a donut as she cheerily noted. "Okay then Fat ass, just remember to focus on the mission at
hand!" She nodded and tried her best to focus on the sweets in front of her but every so often she would steal another glance at Seta's chest. "I am such a coward for even
thinking about this! If Seta ever found out about any of this I'm sure she'd kill me." Sakiri thought as she desperately tried to focus on the donut she was eating. Her focus was
shot thought as Seta began to look around and said. "I sense someone here, get ready." Sakiri nodded and the two rose just as a figure from above. They both recognized the
person in front of them and with a startled cried said. "You!" Before the person attacked.
A short chapter maybe, but I felt like writing it. To be honest I began to question my sanity on that last part but once I start writing I just can't stop. Next up we return to the
Distant Planet and see what the men-folk until then dear readers!
[1] Ms. Fortune: A lively feline thief who was once part of an infamous gang in Canopy. After a job gone wrong she accidentally swallowed the rare gem of life, causing her to
remain alive after be decapitated. Because of this her body is "un-dying" and she can remove her limbs and head at will. While she often jokes around and makes horrible cat
puns, she's just as serious about avenging her gang's murder by the Medichi Mafia. She is set to appear in the upcoming game Skull girls.
[2] Parasoul: The princess of the Canopy kingdom and also leader of the elite military unit the Black Egrets, Parasoul is always serious about her job and responsibly for her
kingdom. Her life took a tragic turn several years ago when her mother became the current Skull girl and forced a young Parasoul into a ruling position. Her weapon of choice is
the living umbrella Krege, a strange and mostly unknown creature that shoots napalm energy. She is set to appear in the upcoming game Skull girls.
[3] Filia: Once a normal schoolgirl, Filia awoke one morning to find her memory gone and the parasite known as Samson on her head. While she doesn't trust him entirely she is
forced to do so she may find the skull heart and restore her memories. While she is normally calm and collective and nice to all she meets Samson is rude, brash, and
demanding. She is set to appear in the upcoming game Skull girls.
[4] Peacock: A former girl who is obsessed with cartoons, after being sold as a slave her mind broke and she became a murder loving cartoon crazy. Her body was modified into
a robotic fashion but she attacks in ways very similar to that of classic cartoons, to the point of even defying the laws of nature. She is set to appear in Skull girls.
[5] Sakiri: A member of the Existed and quite the strange one, her powers revolve around her eating un- healthy amounts of junk food. She also seems to harbor deep feelings
towards her friend Seta, although she may never admit it.
[6] Painwheel: Once a normal girl (You seeing the pattern here?) Painwheel was kidnapped by a mysterious group and transformed into a monster that feels nothing but pain.
She still has a small amount of humanity but it lies hidden within the pain. She is set to appear in Skull girls.
[7] Seta: Another Existed who holds the magic powers of Egyptian magic, she also tends to bully her friend Sakiri a bit calling her a fat ass. She has yet to realize her friend's
true feelings for her and it is unknown what she would do if she did.
