Chapter 12
Third Hell Gate
Part 1
Somewhere in the ocean, in the island of the Dark Star Council base where Kane, Bell, Brick, and Butch arrive back from their failed mission because of Boomer who is held in prison now. Although, Brick was worried about Boomer and ask Kane to give him a chance, but Kane refuse to accept it.
Brick- But Kane, please give me sometime to help him be himself again. I'm sure he would change soon enough.
Kane- I'm sorry Brick, but I will not let that slide. Besides, don't you realize what your brother has become?
Bell- What do you mean "become"?
Kane- Well for starters, Boomer isn't the type of guy that would go on a killing spree just for fun. He becomes more connected to human emotions, able to experience feelings such as happy, sad, depression, anger, lust, passion, agitation, and more than you can ever think of.
Butch- So what's the point of emotions anyway? Is that what changes Boomer or what?
Kane- Boomer doesn't feel anything bad, but he does have one thing that he'll always keep in his heart.
He stop his conversation when he notice Dr. X and Brisbane came into the prison room.
Brisbane- I guess that my agents didn't do as well as you wanted.
Kane- Well thanks to Boomer, he let girls get away.
Dr. X- Oh and what was the result of Boomer's action to do that?
Kane- Take a guess….
Brisbane- Love….
Kane- Bingo, you see Boomer isn't the same type of boy that he used to be back then. I mean, ever since he had that kiss with Bubbles of course.
Boomer- How would you know about my past? You weren't even there at that time.
Brick- I told him about you Boomer so he could figure out a better way to get you fix up.
Boomer- I don't need to be fixed Brick. I'm fine the way I' am now.
Kane- Oh no, your not fixed…yet. Do you know what this is?
He pulls out a red glowing stone from his pocket, showing Boomer what it was and knew what Kane was about to do next.
Boomer (hesitates) – No…NO…YOU CAN'T!!!
Kane- Brisbane, mind if I test this out? I never made an experiment on cartoons before.
Brisbane- Do as you wish, but just as long as he listens, then everything will go according to plan.
Dr. X- Speaking of plans, Eggman is planning on capturing that weird animal that I never seen before. I'm not sure what it is, but it's a blue hedgehog.
Kane- Hmm, that's interesting to hear. I'll check on him and see if I could try another experiment after I test with Boomer. Butch, Brick, restrain him!
They open up the cell where Boomer was in and restrain him as he struggles to set himself free.
Boomer- Come on guys! There's no reason to fight the PowerPuff Girls.
Brick- How could you be so blind to think of that? I'll say this again, we are the RowdyRuff Boys. We must have our revenge against our arch enemy because of their lousy kiss that ruined our lives.
Butch- Yeah man, you should know what we always do like old times. We hunt down those girls, fight them, and destroy them for good. And after that, we celebrate and do whatever we want.
Boomer- Is that our true purpose? Is this what we always want to be? Their is no point in fighting them if we are equal against them.
Brick- So what's your point?
Boomer- The point is simple, its pointless brother. You should know that better than anyone else, even Butch.
Butch- HEY!
Kane- It's time to put you out of your misery.
Kane place the stone right into Boomer's forehead as the stone slowly sticks half way through, letting out enormous burst of lighting flowing out of his forehead. Boomer screams in pain when the two brothers back up and watch while Kane continues to keep the stone steady with one hand holding the stone tight until it was completed. It was quiet in the cell room when Boomer slowly rises up from the ground. His appearance have change with his eyes dark red, hair nearly spiked up, red demonic glow aura around his body, and his face show a vicious look when he growls.
Kane- Now that your in my control, can you tell me who you want to kill?
Boomer (evil) – Kill…kill…BUBBLES!!!
Back outside the Central Courtyard, Khoa reports to Jimmy about his accomplishment on the mission and plans on moving to the last Hell Gate, but hopes that he knows where he's going with Yamato in his hand. As for the PowerPuff Girls, they were good as new thanks to the pod's medic supply. Jack however, didn't relax when he notice demons were appearing out of nowhere around them.
Khoa- What the hell? I thought the demons aren't supposed to show up when I beat the boss.
Jack- What do you mean?
Khoa- Uh, forget what I said.
Blossom- Alright girls, give it all you got and don't hold back.
Soon they split off, fighting against numbers of scarecrows and frost demons.
Meanwhile, over at the Leviathan ship in the portal room, Minnie, Grim Jr., Jenny, and Danny are met up and assemble with King Mickey and Mandy where they were prepare for the mission.
Mickey- Once you have completed the last task of opening—
Dexter- Ahem, it's actually destroying the Hell Gate your Majesty.
Mickey- Oh, ha, ha, my bad. So as I was saying….
Before he could continue his conversation, Riku walks in with a wrapped bandage on his head while Aeris tries to convince him to stay in the medic room.
Riku- I'm going too King.
Aeris- Wait Riku, your injuries haven't fully recover?
Mickey- Please, you need plenty of rest.
Riku- I'm sorry to say but I must deny that request.
Danny- Dude, you're in bad shape man. I think you should let us handle this.
Riku- I know this is kind of strange for me to say this but I need to go and find the truth.
Mandy- And what truth would that be?
Riku- To see if Sora is still out there.
Back at the courtyard, the battle was still raging on for quite a while. Blossom and Bubbles flew around the demons in the air while shooting them down with their heat vision. Buttercup backs up with Jack, working together as they pulverize their enemies. For Khoa, he slices off few demons around him and quickly try to use the technique again from before, but still didn't work as he hope it would. Fighting as a team, they were able to sustain their morale as more demons come.
Blossom- Gosh, there's no end to this fight.
Bubbles- What do we do now?
Buttercup- What do you think girl? We keep mashing them up till their dead.
Jack- Well I wish I could agree on that Buttercup, but we are outnumbered.
Khoa- Oh how stupid of me!
PPG- What???
Khoa- I forgot I have Pandora.
Buttercup- THEN USE IT NOW!!!
Quickly as he could, he tried to transform the box into a mobile missile battery, but it didn't seem to respond. He looks around the case, curving it side to side and front to back, showing no signs of power energy inside and realize how it works.
Khoa- Uh, I think it needs some juice..
Blossom- With what?
Khoa- Well…it has to do with emotional power.
Jack- What do you mean by emotional?
Khoa- I know it's kind of strange but if I use this case to shoot down some demons, then it can fill up the gauge I believe. Luckily, there are other types of weapon that can fill up the gauge faster like the bazooka that I brought out earlier. Here let me see if this works.
With no time to lose, he test it out by transforming it into a rocket bow, fired off only two missiles at the demons but didn't pack much of a punch as he expected. He tried again one more time but suddenly unleash a big sphere looking laser cannon. With a good lock on the enemy and that they were line on his sight, he fired the cannon, sending a beam blasting right through them when it touch the ground at the end and explodes in intense blow.
Khoa- Never thought something would come out in a big package.
While the others were fighting off, Bubbles became overwhelm by the numbers of scarecrows that were jumping on her. She was pin down as more demons gather around her while her sisters try to punch their way through. Jack covers Khoa's back to see if the gauge was filled up.
Bubbles- Guys, help me!
Blossom- Hang on! ARGH, move you freaky demons!
Buttercup- Damn it, there's too many of them. Is that box juice up yet?
When Khoa makes one last shot with the bazooka, it filled up the gauge, making the box glow brightly. However, before he was about use the mobile missile battery, a frost demon knock him behind, letting go of Pandora and fell to the ground. It opens up by itself close by to where Bubbles is. Inside the box was glowing brightly for a second and then it violently shines toward the demons that were around Bubbles, burning them up and vanish into thin air till nothing was left but Bubbles. Jack helped Khoa up after he killed the frost demon and Khoa haste his way for the box and closed it. Blossom and Buttercup were able to get their sister in time.
Khoa- Whew, now that was close.
Blossom- Bubbles you ok?
Bubbles- Yeah I'm fine. What was that light anyway?
Khoa- *sigh* whatever it is, it sure does come in handy.
Buttercup (alert) - Oh great, we got more company!
She points toward the destroyed Hell Gate where more demons appear including mesphisto and Faust.
Jack- I suggest we retreat now.
Blossom- Wait, can't you use Pandora again?
Khoa- No can do. This case is out of juice again and our best choice is to retreat now. We've caused too much attention in battle, so let's head back in.
They all agreed and ran for the door that they came out earlier but came across more demons in front of them. With no where else to run, they were in deep trouble. Although, they weren't expecting a cavalry when a portal suddenly appear in front of the demons. Then, a holy water was thrown out at the demons from the portal near the entrance and got disintegrated when the bomb exploded. A group walked out of the portal, to realize that their cavalry were Jenny, Danny, Riku, Minnie, and Grim Jr.
Khoa- Oh thank god, I'm glad you guys showed up.
Jenny- When it comes to a friend who is endanger….
Grim Jr. – We're always there to help, but I still hate you.
Khoa- Geez thanks for the compliment. Well, now that your all here, can we all just get inside the castle before the demons behind us try to kill us?
The team ran back in the castle in a short time, lucky to know that the demons didn't followed them behind for some reason. The team was united once again, hoping that with enough support, they will be able to destroy the third Hell Gate. Although, they discuss about the situations that they were about to face over at the Hell Gate.
Khoa- So, I'm guessing that all you guys are gonna help me destroy the last Hell Gate.
Danny- But what's the point of destroying the gate? I thought that you're suppose to open it.
Khoa- Unfortunately, it was just a misunderstanding. You see, opening it is meaningless to do because these gates are only meant to be use as a prison cell. Which means, there's nothing inside the gate; it's just an empty cell like it's their room to sleep in you know. We have to destroy the Hell Gate because the fact that the demons would be use in combat on the battlefield, which is not good.
Blossom- Ok I think it make sense I suppose, but what about your brother. He might come back later when we reach the third gate.
Riku- If he is then will be ready.
Khoa- But he might bring in some back up to help him on this mission, so keep your guards up when we get to our destination.
The whole team walks down the right hallway, happy to be relief that there were no sights of demons around them or ahead of them, but that's what they only thought about. Continuing down on their way to the grand hall room, Khoa felt a presence near by and recognize its demonic power. He suddenly heard few zapping noise springing behind them. He turns around quick with the gun drawn and aimed, but only to find the hallway empty. The rest of the team turn around to notice Khoa was behind.
Jack- What's wrong?
Khoa-….
Danny- Dude you all right?
Minnie- Khoa?
Khoa- Nothing's wrong. I just had a bad feeling that something was following us.
Grim Jr. – Saying the "bad feeling," tells us that something is wrong dude.
Jenny- I don't see anything behind us.
Riku- Come on, we need to get moving.
Khoa- Yeah…
He looks behind again to make sure that they weren't being stalked, but when they enter into the grand hall room, a yellow lighting zaps from one spot to the wall and stops when it touch the ground. It growl in a low tone and quickly zapped away in a flash. Back with the group, Blossom notice that Buttercup was bleeding below her knee.
Blossom- Hey Buttercup, I think you should rest and let me check your wound.
Buttercup (stubborn) – I'm fine! I don't need to rest when we got a mission to take.
Khoa- You know I kind of feel bad that I've been driving yawl with me in this mission without some rest so let's do that.
Jack- Please let me check your knee Buttercup and be respectful to your sister.
Buttercup (blush) - Oh…fine. Sorry Sensei.
Riku- Alright then, I guess we rest up and figure out a better way to know what Kane might be planning on.
Khoa- And how are we going to do that?
Riku- We had the KND from sector V to scout ahead to the Hell Gate and see if anyone is waiting for us.
Jenny- I didn't remember them coming in for this mission.
Danny- Well, I guess they're only going to check just to make sure. Hey Number 1, you on the speaker now?
Number 1 responds back from the pod with a special box behind its back.
Khoa- What is that?
Riku- Oh that box is a USB portable signal that let us contact HQ and others at anytime we want.
Khoa- And why didn't the three geniuses install it earlier.
Riku-…That's your problem.
Khoa- Great… (I think some the cartoons still don't trust me especially when I'm a demon in this world.)
Over the mountains and through the mine field where the Hell Gate was in the abandon mine facility, the kids were hiding behind a half broken brick wall near the cave mine entrance. Number 5 kept a close eye on the Hell Gate, Number 3 and 4 had binoculars as they watch out for any intruders coming by, Number 2 had a radio pack behind his back, talking to Dexter, and for Number 1, he calls up with Danny on his walkie-talkie pipe phone with antenna on it.
Number 1- This is #1, are you guys over near the mine field right now?
Danny- Technically no, we had to rest in the castle cuz one of our friends got hurt in the fight.
Buttercup (Angry) – NO I WASN'T!!! I WAS DOING FINE WHEN—OW! (yells behind Danny)
Blossom- Hey, stay still so we can wrap it up tight.
Jack- Please be still Buttercup. We're almost done.
Number 1- WHAT!? Why rest now when we have one more Hell Gate left to open—I mean destroy.
Riku- Cool it kid, we know what we're doing. Just watch your back if Kane shows up.
Number 1 (piss) – Argh, FINE! We'll tell you when he's here. (hangs up)
Number 5- Uh #1, he is here and it looks like he brought some company too.
Over by where Number 5 was looking at, a portal was open near the Hell Gate. As the group all walked out of the portal and gather around. In the middle of the group was none other than Kane. The others that were in the group were Him, Oogie Boogie, Vlad, Vixen, Xemnas with his new member, Brick, Butch, and Boomer. The KND hid away before they were spotted when they eavesdrop and watch the villains plan on something. Kane walks up to the Hell Gate and place his hand on it and then suddenly lit his hand on fire.
Kane- Whoa, looks like this guy got a temper, but not as much as Bael though.
Him- Now, how exactly are you going to open it?
Kane- Watch and learn, oh and Boogie, you might want to step back when he comes out or otherwise you'll get burn in seconds.
Oogie- Do you think that I'm stupid? No way am I gonna see this demon spark on me. HELL NO!
Oogie takes a few steps back and so did the rest of the group. Kane pulls out a Blood Stone from his pocket and place it on the gate. Once the stone was place in, the red glow lines began to spread out fast, covering the whole gate in blood lines. Kane notice a pulse coming out from the gate as it begins to open, burning it right through until it was big enough for the demon to be free. The demon flew out sky high and landed into the old house mines in front of him and roars in power. With a powerful roar, the houses were engulf by his fire and were being burn to ashes. The demon was on fire with two horns pointed up, had four claw legs which almost make him look like a fuse horsemen, holding a burning stone sword on his left hand, two short wings behind his back, and a ignited flame tail. The fire demon turns around when he spotted Kane and jump right back up to him when the rest of the group became alarm and back away. The demon came face to face with the demon hunter and glares with its orange flame eyes.
Kane- It's good to see you again Berial. I hope you don't mind if you could help me out with my plan?
Berial- Oh…I'll help you alright when YOU'RE DEAD!!
The fire demon made a thrust towards Kane with his flame sword but suddenly, it was stopped with a powerful draw. From where Kane was, he held out his new customize sword of Alastor, holding off the flame sword by the point tip of his sword to Berial's. He immediately swings the flame sword away when Berial resisted back, but didn't attack again.
Kane- If you could give me a moment, I would like to make a proposal. And I know that you and I never get along when we see each other so I'll cut to the chase.
Berial- I will not offer myself to help you demon hunter. You are the one that I want to kill and avenge my conspirators that died before me.
Kane- Which is why you'll get your chance soon; but first if you want to defeat me, you'll need to challenge my brother first.
Berial-….
Kane- Its simple Berial, All you have to do is kill my brother when he comes, stay free from the Hell Gate, and better, you get to face me. Do we have an agreement?
Berial- Hmm…very well then, I will accept this offer…for now. But you better not—
Then something got his attention and began sniffing up to his nose a few times and quickly swings his sword across his right side where the half broken wall was, revealing five KND agents.
Berial- Puny humans, think that you could hide from me?
Number 4- HEY, we not humans! We're the kids—
Number 5- You idiot we are human, but he called us puny.
Number 4- So?
Number 5- Puny means that we're kids #4.
Number 4- Oh…I knew that.
Number 1- KND RETREAT!!!
Kane- Oh great, more kids to be annoyed. Boomer, capture them before they get away.
Boomer flew off in a snap, chasing after the KND that ran inside the mine. As for the rest of the villains, they wait for the arrival of their foes to come.
Back at the castle, the team was almost ready to move out soon, but it was delayed for a moment when Riku moan in pain since he hadn't recovered well from his wound.
Khoa- Hey I thought you were ok.
Riku- I have a reason to come here.
Bubbles- Which is?
Riku- I had a dream when a voice echo inside my heart. I recognize it from before and realize that it was Sora. But his voice sound a little different, however, he was trying to tell me something like he was trying to tell me that he might show up soon.
Khoa- But wait, what happen to him? I kind of thought that he was still around, but I don't see him around the ship.
Riku- That's because Sora was gone forever.
A moment of silence came in, the fact that the team didn't want to know the tragedy that Riku had before, but Khoa wanted to know more and tries to convince him to tell. Though Riku felt uncomfortable about it because it was unbearable for him to talk about his mistake, but despite the situation they were in, he must tell him.
Riku- But that was only a theory; I thought that he died, but somehow I still feel that he's still alive out there.
Khoa- So what really happen to you and Sora?
Riku- The incident happen a year ago when Sora, Kairi, and I were hanging out together like the usual times in Destiny Island after we defeated Organization 13 and save the world once again.
Flashback:
A year ago, in Destiny Island, where the two keyblade masters live with a friend spend time together as like they always do in their childhood memories. Sora and Kairi were sitting on the paupo tree that was bent half way on the very small peninsula. Riku however, was only watching from the beach afar near the dock, waiting for the two love birds to be done with.
Riku (thought) - Oh man, I knew that Sora would always try to let out his feelings like I told him to but ends up taking more time on talking. Oh well, I guess its his discussion whether he tells her now or later.
He notice Sora and Kairi were done with their conversation and walked back down from the bridge. Right before Riku get onto his own boat, he heard a scream. He twirl around quick to find Kairi already surrounded by heartless while Sora tries to save her, cutting down any heartless in his path. Riku join in the fray for a few minutes, helping his friends out but suddenly felt something dark that was seeping out of his heart when it started burning up his chest. He went down to his knees when the pain started kicking in, it was too great and he couldn't get up when he heard a voice echo into his mind.
???- You intend to resist me every time when I ask you to use darkness.
Riku- Damn it…I thought you were gone for good.
???- It is futile to resist the darkness. If you do not accept my offer, then you will regret it.
Riku- GO BLOW YOURSELF!!!
???- Very well, you leave me no choice.
Back into the reality, Riku was down to his knee when darkness begins to form around him, it lashes out tight dark ropes around him, making it impossible to escape. Kairi notice Riku was in trouble after Sora saved her. He quickly ran up to Riku and use his keyblade to light away the darkness around Riku, but it was too late. Darkness form around his body into a shell and that the dark shell was so thick, not even one glimmer of light could penetrate it.
Sora- Riku! Are you ok?
No response came back to him, but it wasn't going to stop Sora from letting his best friend free. He bashes down the shell many times as possible but no luck. Kairi notice that some the heartless such as the knights bow down and stood still as if they were waiting for something to happen. The heartless didn't do anything at the time nor did they didn't feel offensive when Sora was bashing the shell with his keyblade. Nothing happen yet, until the Sora began to hear a crack coming from the shell. Within a second, it explodes in a violent blow, making Sora fly back further away from Kairi. After the shell was broken, the clouds began to form up in the sky and darken it quickly as the heartless look up to the darkness flames forming around a figure. It was Riku in his dark form, but something was different about him. His eyes were dark red, he had armor plates on both arms and legs with boots, he was holds a new keyblade but doesn't have a keychain called the Soul Blade, and he has a shadow form behind him, having a heart shape in its belly, and wrapped bandages on its face. It was his Celtic Guardian originally from none other than Ansem and by the looks of it, he seems to be to one possessing Riku now.
Kairi- Riku, is that you?
Ansem Riku- Sorry princess, but Riku is no longer here. I'll be taking his place now.
Kairi- What have you done to him!?
Ansem Riku- If you really wish to know, then come with me so I may continue my quest of finding Kingdom Hearts once more.
Ansem, in Riku's body, walks up slowly to Kairi while she steps back but was corner off by heartless. Before Ansem was about to touch her, Sora use his thunder magic and shocked off most of the heartless. Kairi was able to get beside Sora while he defends her against Ansem.
Ansem Riku- I guess you don't realize this but I'm in control now.
Sora- What happen to Riku, TELL ME!
Ansem Riku- If you let me have the princess, then I will tell you.
Sora- I'm not that stupid to let her go, Ansem. Now tell me now! What did you do to him?
When Ansem was about to attack, he was held back for some reason when suddenly, Riku regain in control; trying to prevent Ansem from using him again.
Riku- Sora, listen to me, the darkness inside of me is swallowing my heart. I lost the light inside of me and at this rate, Ansem will control me. Please, you must—
Sora- No way am I going to do that Riku!
Kairi- Well, how are we going to save him? If we don't do something then…then….
Sora couldn't find a better solution to help his best friend and he wasn't willing to loss him again. Then, he had a thought, it was something that a keyblade master must never do but only if it is the master's wish to make. He stares at Kairi with a guilty face, but tries to smile when she look back at him with a confuse look.
Sora- Kairi, can you do me a favor? Will you watch over Riku when I get him out?
Kairi- What are you getting at?
Sora- I wish I could be with you all the time, but this is something that I need to do to save Riku.
Kairi- Your not making sense Sora, are you trying to—
Sora- Please, do it for me. I know this is crazy but, it's the only way that can save him, so don't try to stop me
Kairi-…ok…I will.
The heartless began to surround them as Riku tries to bare the pain from darkness within him. With no time to lose, Sora breaks for it as he runs towards his best friend. Kairi didn't understand what he was planning to do but she knew that something was wrong. When Sora got close to Riku, he quickly grabs the Soul Blade and stabbed it into his chest. Riku was stun to see his friend to do it without even knowing what he was doing. Sora then uses his keyblade and gave it to Riku by hand.
Sora- Don't worry, darkness won't consume you as long as you have my keyblade. That way, he will never come back to control you again.
Riku- But…but what about….
Sora- I have to let darkness take me so I can lend you my light.
Riku- Why are you doing this for me? Kairi really loves you and yet your just gonna throw your life away just like that.
Sora- Just promise me, that you'll hold this.
Sora pulled out his silver king necklace and gave it to Riku as the dark pools began to take over Sora, wrapping him up slowly while the light from his heart becomes dimmer. As for Riku, his remaining darkness was sealed back to his heart and the fact that he no longer posses the Soul Blade, but instead it chose Sora as its new keyblade master. When Sora was out of reach, the darkness vanish into thin air, leaving no trace behind but the king chain necklace that Riku holds now. The heartless fled away also when the dark clouds moved away. It was sunset since everything is back to normal now. However for Kairi, she was stun to believe that Sora was gone. She walks slowly to where he once stood before he disappeared, she knelt down to the sand and started to cry. Riku could only watch his friend sob for their lost friend and yet, couldn't find a better way to comfort her because he felt guilty that he didn't even stop Sora from helping him. Only watching her cry for a few minutes, she stood up slowly and walk to Riku who was holding his necklace chain. When he thought that Kairi was going to say something horrible to him, he only heard a small soft tone from her voice, but stutters a little.
Kairi-Riku…d…do you think…he'll be back?
With no words left to say for Kairi, he became ashamed and looked at her with a sad look. She knew how Riku feels and doesn't want to say anything because he believe that it was his fault for not fighting hard enough or try to convince Sora to stay back, but either way none them wouldn't help anyway. Riku leans close by Kairi's left ear and whispered. Within a second, Kairi burst out in tears again and hugs Riku tight and later, he did the same.
Flashback end
No words were spoken from neither one of the team, it was only a silence moment when Riku finish his memory lane. Khoa never thought that any cartoons in the world he's in now could end in a tragic way. He thought that, it was nearly destine only if their storyline goes along with the usual, but not how it is today. It was more like these cartoons, games, or other things that exist could have a similar life like in the human world. He only hope he could've done in anyway to help Riku, but it was his business; not for the likes of a demon to know about. He walks up near the front gate and looks behind to see the team a bit down even for Jack, who seems to feel guilty also for the lost of his family and the clan that he still remembers. Khoa scratch his head, thinking that he needs to get them worked up so they could continue their mission.
Khoa- Riku, I'm really sorry about what happen to your friend, but don't let it stop you. If you think Sora is still out there, then don't give up hope and look for him. And same goes for most of yawl; I know you guys also suffer the hard times when you lost someone or did something horrible in all but you guys are still here and still have a life to look up to your future. For me, my life was long gone before I even set foot to your world, but I still got a job to do.
Blossom- Yeah but what would you be doing to him if you finally defeat him?
Khoa- Isn't it obvious?
Bubbles- You would still kill him even though he's your brother?
Khoa- He's not my brother anymore when he took away someone I loved so much. I failed to protect her and I failed to help my brother. What choice do I have to make?
Minnie- But will you do if you accomplish your goal? What will you do when that time comes?
The moment of silence came in once again, but only to hear the blizzard wind blowing outside slowly. He never thought about what he was actually going to do after he finish off his brother. He knows can't go back to the demon world since the Demon Hunter base was long gone, the remaining demon hunters were dead because of the demons that swarm into there base, and he had no where else to go. His life was left in ruins and that he can't live up to his painful memories in his head with all the blood spilled by his brother and "hers". Khoa turns away, only to stare blank at the gate and finally answer.
Khoa- Once I finish my brother, I will kill myself.
With his word spoken out before he walked out of the castle, the team were shocked and speechless to actually hear it from him. Only to be sad that they only known him a few times and thought that he wasn't much of a bad person. However, they were more likely worried especially for Minnie who thinks that death wasn't the answer. Soon as the gate closed, the team quickly followed him and were able to catch up with him from the bridge.
Danny- Whoa hold up there buddy, why kill yourself? This never seem to happen to anyone in our world when someone is depress.
Khoa- Whoop de do…I'm so lucky. Look the thing is that I got no where else to go once I finish this business. And besides, you guys think that I'm kind of weird or maybe a bit insane.
Bubbles- Actually, I thought that you were more kind.
Khoa- What makes you say that I'm kind?
Bubbles- Well for one thing, you made me feel comfortable when I was worried. You spoke in a nice tone voice without hesitation which made me feel calm and determine.
Buttercup- Yeah right. When we were fighting against the two Rowdy boys, you stood your ground and let that blue boy hit with one blow and took you away.
Bubbles- He only did it to save me so his brother won't know his true personal side.
Blossom- Wait, what do you mean?
Bubbles- Well it started off like this….
Bubbles explain in every detail, giving the group a hard time to understand what she was saying. Once she finish off her last sentence, pretty much everyone on the bridge were lost and had no idea what she actually said because she was talking too fast. Khoa decides to fill her in with short note.
Khoa- Uh, she means that Boomer has change and pretty much he doesn't want to fight with the Powerpuff Girls like he usually does back then.
Blossom- I don't know, are you really sure Bubbles?
Bubbles- If I wasn't, wouldn't you, Buttercup, and me be here right now?
Jenny- She does have a point there.
Buttercup- But still, we aren't sure about that Bubbles. What if he's just pretending to be nice so he could ambush us?
Bubbles (blush)- I know because… because…
Khoa- Because Boomer has a heart of a human being. Meaning, he loves her.
Grim Jr. - What makes you think that Boomer actually loves her?
Khoa (thought) - Oh I just know… (Rather not tell them the real reason or otherwise, things would get ugly)
Danny- Hey guys, I think we should get moving before—
The pod suddenly started to ring and vibrate, flying crazy around Khoa as if someone was calling. Khoa push the button when a huge crying girl sound broke out from the pod. It was so loud; that it nearly made Khoa bleed out from his ears since he had issues with kids screaming. Then in a second, Number 1 talks out on the pod.
Number 1- This is #1 calling for back now! We've been spotted by Kane's monster and they have sent off a RowdyRuff agent to go after us.
Danny- Wait, where are you at now?
Number 1- We're still in the mine field, but we can't get this blue boy off our back. He's too powerful!
Bubbles- No…that can't be…is that Boomer #2?
Number 2- I think so, but their something different about him. WHOA! (Explosion coming from the background)
Bubbles- What do you mean by different?
Number 2- Their something on his head; a red stone or I don't know what it is.
The group looked at Khoa especially for Bubbles who was really worried. Khoa only sigh, meaning that it was really a bad sign.
Khoa- Kane must've place the Blood Stone on Boomer's head, making him more aggressive and deadly.
Blossom- Oh no…why would they do that?
Khoa- What do you think? Boomer helped you and Buttercup escape, he even had to face his own brother. It was a risk, but he actually did it for Bubbles. If it wasn't for him, well you should know what would have happen next. But we need to help Boomer and fast.
Grim Jr. – Shouldn't we be looking for the Hell Gate?
Khoa- It's up across the mountain; we'll have to go through the mine field. That's where will meet the KND, if they are ok.
Jack- Then time is of the essence, we must move quickly. Those kids need our help.
They all ran across the bridge until they come to the gateway exit, but up ahead, something was waiting for them. Once they come across six huge pillars, demons appear from the portal holes from multiple places. The demons like the frosts and scarecrows showed up, crowded up in front of the team and blocking the path to the mountains. The red webs appear behind the bridge that they just past in, leaving up to the team to fight against the horde. Grim Jr. and Minnie transform quickly into their demon form, ready to take the action again, with Jenny, Danny, and the rest of the others come into their combat position.
Grim Jr. – Looks like things just get better and better these days.
Khoa- You think you could take them on? I'm a little weak on some of these frost demons.
Grim Jr. – You're a demon hunter, I don't baby sit with jackass like you.
Khoa- Ok Prince reaper, if think this is easy then I guess you wanna bet on that don't you. I'll take on the big guys and you can take on the others on your right side. First one to get the most kills, gets a free for a pizza while the other that loses has to pay it. What do you say?
Minnie- Why must you bet in a time like this? Brother, we should stay focus on staying—
Grim Jr. – Ha, DEAL!!! (Charges in first)
Khoa- Get ready to get own reaper!
Danny- I think things are gonna get hairy now these days.
Jenny- Come on everyone, we don't want them to be left helpless against these demons.
The team split off into three squads, taking down all the demons that were in their way.
Over the mountain at the Hell Gate, Kane sits patiently with the group that were also waiting, but some were impatient. Kane then sense a powerful energy coming outside of the castle from where Khoa's team were at and laughs out loud, giving attention to the villains including Berial.
Berial- What so funny?
Kane- Ah nothing; I just felt a strong presence of a strong demon and I think its going after my brother.
Berial- Hmm, now that mention it I did sense a strange demonic power over there, but I believe that this demon is blind.
Kane- Well of course he's blind, but he's also dangerous too especially when it attacks his own demons just to take the last kill for itself. So we might as well let the blind demon do its job and see how it goes.
While they take their time, Xemnas walks up to a new member of Organization 13, who was just leaning near the Hell Gate while his arm were cross and had the hood on him.
Xemnas- Have you sense his power?
???- I did, but who is he anyway? I never met another keyblade master before.
Xemnas- Do you wish to test his strength to see if he's a match to you.
???- Hmm, that would be interesting Xemnas. I shall challenge him and see if he is worthy.
Xemnas- Wise decision # 14 member or should I say—
