TWI1IGHTMAST3R: Thank you so much for the fav, review, and alert ^^
Kh-Hardcorefan4483: Yup. And the humans on earth thought all stars is just filled with gas that could burn you but, they're worlds. They cannot go to the star without proper equipment, they need a Gummi ship, an armor (Like Ven, Terra, and Aqua), or a transporter. He's at Earth to spread Darkness and kill Sora, Riku, and Hikari! That's a great idea ^^
prisonkeeper: Nice ^^, maybe Roxas will appear in this chap ;). Wow XD
Taeniaea: Thank you ^^

Chapter 25: Old Friends
"Great… we have no clue where we are or where the Matrix is located…"
Simmons groaned as they were in the middle of the dessert. It has been hours since they depart from their previous hideout. Since Sam pointed out Orion's Belt, also known as Wonderland, Neverland, and Disney Town to the Keybearers, they've been searching for the location of the Matrix. Sora and Hikari pretty much doesn't want to bother Simmons, or Leo, or even Sam because they were in a very bad mood. The two keybearers decided to walk slower than the three, to avoid getting scold or anything. Mikaela also kept her distance from the three, including Bumblebee, the stingray twins, and the chevy twins.
"Um… I think you should stay away from Sam, Bee…" Hikari suggested.
"And why's that… Twinkle?" Bumblebee asked.
"He's in a very bad mood." Sora said as Hikari nodded.
Bumblebee nodded his head and sighed thru his vents. He backed away from Sam and joined to chat with the stingray twins while the chevy twins were goofing off by faking to be a ninja in the dessert. Simmons and Sam were in the front while Leo was staring in awe at the cliffs. Mikaela chatted with Sora as Hikari just starting to scan the area.
She stops as she saw a tint of black from the corner of her eye. She turned her head to the side and saw a hooded man, standing alone in the middle of the dessert. Her eyes widened as she realized the hooded man. The man was used to be one of the members of Organization XV. The 'man' pulled down his hood and a blonde teen was seen. A spiky haired, blue eyed, teenage boy was seen under the hood. Hikari grinned as she saw who he is.
"Roxas!"
She yelled happily. All eyes and optics stared at her. "Roxas! Hey! Roxas!" Hikari called again.
But, Roxas turned away to another path and ran. "Hey! Roxas! Wait up!"
She ran after him and was gone in a few seconds. Sora panicked and soon followed his sister with Mikaela behind. Sam and Simmons began to curse along with Leo, in a frustrated look; they began to chase after Sora and Mikaela. Soon after the Autobots turned to their alt-mode, they began the chase. This was going to be a very long chase.
"Hey! Roxas! Slow down will 'ya?!" Hikari shouted but, Roxas only ran faster.
Hikari sighed heavily but, she chased him using Flowmotion. After turning to another path, they ended up finding a cave. Hikari jumped and landed on the sand. She ran towards Roxas and grabbed his hand, to stop him from running. Roxas stopped and stared at Hikari for a moment before turning his whole body to face her. Hikari panted heavily and grinned at him while placing both of her hand on her knees for support.
"Roxas, what are you doing here? In this world I mean? I thought you were supposed to be at Radiant Garden?" Hikari asked curiously.
Roxas sighed and gave a sad smile, "I am…," Hikari raised an eyebrow and frowns, "What I mean is that I'm not me. Well, the real one is at Radiant Garden but, the one right here in front of you is just a memory from Xikari. She wants to give you a clue to get to the Matrix." Memory Roxas stated as Hikari nodded.
He pointed his finger to a large cave. "There. You'll find the Matrix." He said as Hikari nodded.
"Oh wait! Before you leave… can you tell Xikari thank you?" She asked as Memory Roxas nodded.
"I will and good luck, a great war is about to begin." Memory Roxas said as Hikari nodded again.
Memory Roxas disappeared as Hikari only grinned. She heard engine sounds were heard, she turned around and found the Autobots. Sora, Sam, Mikaela, Simmons, and Leo stepped out of the vehicles and approached Hikari with a scolding look. But, they soon stopped as they saw a single tear on Hikari's cheek. Bumblebee whirred and clicked as the other Autobots panicked.
"W-Why are you leaking?" Sunstreaker asked.
"Huh?" Hikari said as she touched her cheek and gasp as she felt tears. "I'm not crying… It must someone else's tears. Someone, who's very sad out there, up in the sky…" She said as she glanced up to the sky. 'Optimus Prime… I bet you're the one calling for help…' she thought as she wiped the tears away.
Sora sighed, "Oh yeah…" He mumbled. "But, why did you run away?" He asked.
Hikari turn to him with a big grin, "I've got a clue from Roxas! The Matrix is in that cave!" she pointed her finger to the large door.
They all shrugged and went inside the large cave. There was a large painting on the left side. Sam quickly examined the painting along with Sora, Hikari, and Mikaela. The chevy twins started to argue about something. Mikaela tried to stop them but, they began to wrestle. Sora, Hikari, Sam, and Mikaela jumped out of the way as Skids threw Mudflap to the paintings. Bumblebee grabbed their heads and knocked them together, dragging the chevy twins out. He threw them to the sand.
"Now that's just rude." Skids said as he and Mudflap stood up.
Sora began to examine the painting as it cracked where Mudflap crashed into. He dusted the dust off of a metal thing and saw weird symbols on the metal, "Sam! Come and check it out." He said as Sam stared at the symbols.
"Bee!" Sam shouted and Bumblebee nodded.
Bumblebee narrowed his plasma cannon at the metal and shot the metal while the others take cover. After a few seconds, the dust cleared off and they checked the hole out. It was a secret entrance to another cave. Sam told the Autobots to stay while they observed the inside of the cave. Sora and Hikari summoned their keyblades. Sora held his keyblade tightly as he scanned the area while Hikari swung her keyblade to her shoulder and stared.
"The Tomb of the Primes." Simmons said, looking around.
"Hello!" Leo yelled having it echo back to him. Sam crouched down to something quickly and Mikaela looked down too, seeing the Matrix.
"The Matrix." he murmured, smiling a little. He touched the sides of it to bring it up but when he did, it turned to dust. Everyone's heart drop as the dust hit the hands. Sam started making sounds, gripping the dust.
"Thousands of years turned it to dust." Simmons stated.
"This isn't supposed to happen." Sam whispered.
"Hear that?" Simmons asked as a roar went over the place. Leo and Simmons ran out of the tomb while Sora, Hikari, and Mikaela stayed behind.
Mikaela started to cry as Sora sighed heavily; Hikari gripped on her keyblade and grinned. "Sam! Don't ever give up hope! There must be a way!" She encouraged him.
"Y-You're right… there has to be a way. There has to be." He repeated and grabbed his sock. He began to fill his sock with the black sand.
"Sam!" Simmons yelled from the top of the rock as they ran out, joining them. "Think you can bring him back to life with that pixie dust?" They saw Optimus being brought down by a parachute.
"Absolutely," Sam said, charging past them with me behind him. "Let's go."
Riku groaned as he saw Director Galloway was with them inside the cargo plane. He hated that man for wanting his friend to be surrendered to the Decepticons. Then, a warning serine was heard around the cargo plane. Riku smirked as Director Galloway started to panicked. He grabbed his parachute and placed it on the right position as he observed the panic Director being strapped into the parachute by Major Lennox.
"Did you get anything what I said?!" Major Lennox shouted trying to beat the engine of the plane.
"No!" Director Galloway shouted.
Major Lennox slapped him, "Just released the parachute!" Director Galloway released his parachute and Major Lennox face palmed, "Not now you dumb*ss!" he yelled and Director Galloway flew out of the plane.
Riku snickered as he took off his parachute and helped the Autobots out of the nets. "Did you say goodbye yet?" Sergeant Epps joked.
"He's in a rush." Major Lennox replied with a huge smile on his face, satisfied that no more pain in the butt from Director Galloway.
"Alright then, let's hurry up and drop at Egypt." Riku said and they all nodded.
After another hour, they finally arrived at the landing spot. They dropped all of them that are inside the cargo plane. This time, Riku didn't forget his parachute like last time in Shanghai. They dropped Optimus with a bunch of parachute attach to him. Riku released his parachute and dodge rolled to the sand. He summoned his keyblade and Bat Bat went out of his pocket, flapping his wings as he settled down at Riku's shoulder.
Major Lennox shot a flare up in the sky to signal that they had finally arrives. Riku only have to wait till Sora and Hikari arrives and they can take out the Fallen for good with Optimus' help. Jazz went to hide in the shadows with the soldiers for a sudden attack for the Decepticons while Ironhide and the triplets went to secure the area. Jolt and Ratchet stand by the buildings to help the wounded. Major Lennox set up a radio near the broken building as they took shelter there.
A few missiles were shot to the Autobots. Bumblebee and the other pull into a sudden halt as they let the humans out. Sora and Hikari summoned their keyblades but another came out, it was their original keyblades. It was the keyblades of Earth. They both stared at it for a moment before swinging it a few times.
Sora's keyblade was colored dark blue and have a few gears as the blade. It looks like it was made out of pure metal. The hilt of the keyblade also has the same dark blue metal. The handle was separated from the middle and the keychain had a light blue orb on the middle. His second keyblade was shaped in a robotic look; the hilt was long and was separate into two, leaving a small gap on the middle. At the blade, the hilt was connected again with three round gears as the blade. The handle was shaped like a large round gear. The keychain took shape as the bright blue liquid in a small vial. Sora grinned at his two brand new keyblades.
Hikari's keyblade was colored in a metallic way and it has weird light blue runes all over the key. The handle was shaped as wings but, it was filled with blue glowing runes. The hilt is formed the shape of a long light blue metal and the second and third hilt surrounds the main hilt, colored white and black with glowing blue runes. The hilt ended at the blade shaped as a giant round rune and the keychain took the shape as the AllSpark shard. Her second keyblade took shape as wings. It was brightly colored in bright blue, yellow, and white. The handle of the keyblade took shape as waves, which is colored bright blue and white. The hilt is zigzag between two metal; forming a hilt with yellow on the sides. The blade took shape as a yellow star and a crescent silver moon. The keychain is formed into the symbol of the Mark of Mastery with a crescent moon and a star dangling benath the symbol. Hikari also grinned as she saw the two bran new keyblades in her hand.
"Wow…" Leo yelled in surprised as he held his head.
"We've got to split up. Bumblebee and the stingrays, you guys are playing the decoy. You lead the Decepticons away, all right?" Sam ordered.
"And we'll help Sam get to Optimus!" Sora exclaimed as he raised his first keyblade. Hikari nodded in agreement as she swung both of her keyblade over her shoulder.
"I'll help draw their fire with Huey and Dewey there." Simmons pointed to the chevy twins. "You get to those soldiers." he looked at Sam and Mikaela. "Hope that dust works, kid."
"Thank you." Sam breathed and then he turned to Mikaela, Sora, and Hikari. They got to the top of a hill, looking over the city, and they saw two more flares coming up. "There it is. We gotta few couple miles." Sam stated and they started running again. They ran to a ghost town. Sora and Hikari kept alert the whole time as they kept on running, going through buildings practically guessing which way to go. Sam checked the clearing, Mikaela pushed open a door.
"Sam." Mikaela whispered.
"Wha-?" he turned and saw a Decepticon. Both Sora and Hikari held their keyblades in a fighting stance while Sam and Mikaela stand down. "Get down, get down, get down!" he whispered urgently to Sora and Hikari. The two bended down but didn't lower their guard. Mikaela held her breath while Sam pulled out a sword and make a small hole on the wall.
There were more explosions and then the ceiling started dropping dirt from something standing on the roof. Sam gulped as Hikari backed away seeing Ravage was in front; she stood in front of Sam with her keyblades ready to slash. Sora pushed Mikaela further to hide her from being seen by the Decepticons or the HeartDecons. Sam heard a squeak and saw a tiny fly Decepticon was spying. He grabbed the Decepticon, Hikari nodded. Sam snapped the head clean off of its body. The roof started to shake and a large Decepticon was pointing his weapons at the four. Sora and Hikari quickly placed a barrier around them to avoid getting shoot.
They ran to a corner of the room as Starscream looked in on the house. He reached forward trying to get them but result the wall Sam and Mikaela were leaning on turning into dust. The two fell through it. Sam urged Mikaela to go and follow him up the narrow staircase to the top of the roof while Sora and Hikari killed off the Heartless.
"We gotta jump." Sam said, holding Mikaela's hand and looking at the roof a few feet away. They took a few steps back, getting a head start, Sora and Hikari narrowed their keyblade towards them and cast Aero on them, and jumped over just as a Decepticon hit the building they were standing on. Mikaela rolled over the roof and then fell off it, falling through a straw blind then hitting the ground. They got up quickly and kept running as Sora and Hikari followed. They stopped at a shelter where chickens were sitting and Sam pushed them away impatiently.
"I say it's a half mile." Mikaela guessed, observing the distance to Optimus.
"I don't think the soldiers know we're here." Sam said.
"Don't worry, we can speed it up." Hikari smirked and summoned her glider. "Sore, throw your keyblade up and imagine it could be a glider." He did as told and a glider appeared out of nowhere.
"Sweet!" Sora exclaimed as he hopped on it. "Sam! Go with Hikari ! Mikaela and I will follow you two!" Sora grinned and helped Mikaela hopped on the glider.
Hikari helped Sam to her glider and the two keyblade wielders quickly dashed off.
They were flying but, all of the sudden, a Decepticon appeared in front of them and they all fell from the glider. Sora, Hikari, Sam, and Mikaela groaned as they heard someone yell, "Sam!" they looked over and saw Judy and Ron running toward them.
"It's your parents!" Mikaela shouted, pointing over to them. He stopped when they were close enough. There was a sudden attack; a few Decepticon surrounded them with cannons and other weapons aiming at them. Sora and Hikari narrowed their keyblades to the Decepticon while pushing Sam and Mikaela back.
"Wait! Wait!" Sam shouted.
"SAM! HIKARI! SORA! MIKAELA! RUN! Don't worry about us!" They heard Ron yelled.
"Sammy!" Judy yelled after Ron.
"Whoa! Hey! Watch it! You need me and you need the Matrix right? Why don't you just let my friends go and let's call it a truce, deal?" Hikari smiled as she grabbed the sock from Sam and moved forward.
"No! Don't do it! We all are going to die anyway!" Ron yelled again.
"Ron!/Dad! Please! We know what we're doing!" Both Sam and Hikari yelled.
"You know what, you need me! 'Cause I know about the Matrix." Ron kept screaming tell them all to run. "Please Dad!" Sam turned his attention back to the Decepticon. "Here's what you want right here!"
"And I surrender myself, for the safety of my friends!" Hikari yelled.
"Not when I'm around."
Hikari and Sora turn their heads up and saw a certain blonde man with black shades. He has a giant Buster sword on his hand and he jumped down, slashing the Decepticon in half. He smirked as Hikari grinned. Sora laughed a little as Sam and Mikaela was shocked. "BUMBLEBEE!" Sam suddenly yelled.
Bumblebee came bursting into the scene and took out a few more Decepticons. Hikari, Sora, and the blonde man took care of the Heartless, Nightmares, and the HeartDecons. After a Bumblebee, Sideswipe, and Sunstreaker was finished taking care of their fight, at the same time Sora, Hikari, and the blonde man was done too.
"Nice to see you again, Chocobo head." Sora joked.
"Heh," He snorted. "I thought I told you not to call me that." He said in his cool tone.
"So, Cloud… what are you doing here?" Hikari asked.
Cloud turned to her with a frown, "I sense that Sephiroth is here."
"He was." Sora answered.
"Darn it…" Cloud mumbled.
Hikari turn to the other with a smile, "Guys… this is Cloud. Cloud this is Sam, Mikaela, Bumblebee, Sideswipe, Sunstreaker, Judy, and Ron!" Hikari finished with a gasp as she was speeding.
"Nice to meet you all." Cloud smiled.
"Gosh you're handsome." Judy said and received a snort from Sora and a laugh from Hikari.
Hikari nudges Cloud on his ribs and laughed a little, "Cloud… is anyone else here?" She asked quietly.
Cloud nodded, "Yeah… they're on their way. King Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Kairi, and Namine are coming. They panicked when you guys suddenly disappeared though. You know, this world is really hard to track down. It disappeared when we were going to enter! It's like this world is forbidden for us to enter. Can you believe Merlin has to use me as a guinea pig for his portal?" Cloud blabbered and Hikari laughed again.
"I know… this world is the weirdest of all. It has Nightmares and Heartless! And there's Pete too!" She exclaimed unhappily.
"I see…" Cloud said as placed his sword on his back.
"Hey! Chocobo head! We're ready to depart!" Sora yelled, waving his arms.
Cloud groans one more time before they ran towards him with Mikaela and Sam right beside Sora. "So what's the plan?" He asked.
"We get this," Sam showed a sock filled with black sand to them. "-to Optimus, he's about half a mile away from here. If we run, the Decepticons might caught us…" He trailed off.
"We'll protect you." Sora, Cloud, and Hikari said in union.
"Alright so… Mission start!"
