A/N Now for another glorious chapter! Hazzah! Hehe hopefully the wait wasn't too long, but I've been doing loads of school-related stuff. Also, I would like to thank a faithful reviewer of mine, OceanFae, for giving me a hilarious idea for this chapter. Thank you!
Disclaimer: I do now own Kingdom Hearts, Mary-Sue, Sonja or Lenya.
Enjoy!
CHAPTER 12
By the time Mary-Sue had completed her session of angst and depression, she was left completely alone. Little had she known that it had been quite a while since almost every character mentioned in the course of the story had relocated to a mysterious house in which Sonja and Lenya were keeping Kairi hostage. This is only assumed because the author never mentioned if Kairi's ropes were ever cut, or if the duct tape stuck firmly on her mouth was painfully ripped off without warning.
She didn't know what to do, where to go. Mary-Sue felt quite stupid, especially after her supposed-to-be-foolproof plan had failed so miserably. To think that two powerless adolescent girls could just waltz onto the scene and ruin everything! There was even the possibility of her true identity being revealed, which she knew she would never let happen. But it was time to think about solving this problem! Where did they go…?
All of a sudden she felt something slimy pull on her ankle. Her natural reaction was to shriek and pull her limbs out of this thing's grasp, or at least try to. When she looked down, she noticed that it was in fact a greasy, purple octopus which had some sort of unnatural attraction to her shin. Three of its tentacles were wrapped around her lower leg, the octopus tightening its grip whenever Mary-Sue attempted to pull away.
"Will you get off me!?" she groaned at the particularly friendly octopus, trying to kick it hard with her free leg. However instead of this, she missed her target by a long shot and ended up tripping over thin air, falling hard on her backside in the sand. During this quite hilarious process, said octopus maintained its grip and felt nowhere near as much pain as Mary-Sue.
"Look what you've made me do, you stupid… thing!" was the best thought of comeback at the time "At this rate I might consider eating you! And I'm pretty sure you don't want that." The octopus merely looked up at his new blue-haired friend, making a puppy eyed expression if possible. She failed to notice this and began to walk in the direction of a mass of houses, presumably being the location where the others had wandered. She walked at a slower pace than normal; this was due to the fact her new companion had a stronger will than most and had completely and utterly refused to part from her, which in the end, resulted in her having to put it along with her wherever she went.
For many minutes, approximately half an hour, Mary-Sue and her octopus companion steadily paced across the islands in search of the rest of the group. During this small journey she passed many townsfolk, many of them with something interesting or at least comical to contribute to the story.
"Daddy! Daddy! Look at that girl! She has blue hair! It's so weird!" a small girl enthusiastically called from a small gathering of people.
"Now, pumpkin, it's rude to point. Besides, she's probably one of those people who doesn't like other people to notice them" replied the girl's father. This particular remark made Mary-Sue groan in disgust. Her sole purpose she was still here on these putrid islands was to be noticed!
"Oh, sweet! Check it out! An octopus! Can I touch it?" A group of teenagers were advancing towards her, their hands reaching out towards her foot.
"You can take it, if it will let go of me." Mary-Sue coldly muttered. That instruction caused the group to immediately lunge down, their scrawny arms tugging at the bewildered octopus from all directions. Surprisingly enough, the group effort was not enough to remove the creature.
"This is stupid, guys. Let's go smoke, drink and audition for reality television" The group of unimportant adolescents turned away from Mary-Sue and her eight-legged growth, walking towards the beach at an unnaturally slow pace.
"Go on then. Thanks for you're half-arsed attempt. It really looked like you were going to do something slightly productive there" was the sarcastic remark once again, from Mary-Sue. "Wait" the volume of her voice had considerably increased. She pulled out a photo from her pocket; the photo was of Sora, Riku, Kairi, Lenya and Sonja.
But wait.
She had never taken out a camera, let alone taken a photo of everyone happily gathering. How was this possible? Well, this was obviously because of Mary-Sue's perfection powers.
Continue on.
"Have you seen any of these people? I'm sort of looking for them" she thrusted the photo into face of each teenager, refusing to give them space to breathe until they had provided her with an acceptable answer.
"Um, I think they went that way" an unimportant female gestured to a large group of trees, in which there were a few huts nestled in the middle of the greenery. At the exact moment of her gesture, an abnormally placed bolt of lightning made an appearance, followed by the howling of a wolf that, quite frankly, shouldn't be on the island at all.
"Great" Mary-Sue sighed "So basically, I have to make my way through the thundery, werewolf infested forest, go knocking on all of the doors until I can find them and … kill them?"
"What was that last thing you said?" The random female raised her eyebrows and backed away slowly, somewhat disturbed by Mary-Sue's intentions.
"Find them?"
"Oh... Good"
"Yes, it is, isn't it? Come on, octo-buddy, we've got some crazy kids to find!" Taking a triumphant step, Mary-Sue and the octopus, still latched onto her shin and holding on for dear life, the two of them made their entrance into the forest. There was an obvious change of scenery, especially since the Destiny Islands were usually depicted by many people as a tropical beach paradise.
Although, luckily for Mary-Sue, she did not have to tread through the grassy terrain for too long, as the small house where Sora, Riku, Kairi, Lenya, Sonja and Timmy all were was conveniently placed mere metres away from the entrance of the forest. Mary-Sue was somewhat shocked at this sight; she hadn't really had things go her way for a while. From here on, it seemed easy. All she had to do is barge in, and stab everyone with her very pointy sword.
Keeping those glorious thoughts in mind, Mary-Sue took a few deep breaths before turning the doorknob…
