After a long break, it is time I return to writing the next exciting chapter of Chains of Destiny – The Keyblade's Chosen Ones. Time for the Sonic Adventure Arc to be written.
Right, let's get started – I do not own Kingdom Hearts, Soul Eater nor Fairy Tail. They are owned by Tetsuya Nomura, Atsushi Okubo and Hiro Mashima.
Chapter 27 – Battle in the Sky!
(In the dark room of Maleficent and Roman's castle…)
Maleficent and Roman Torchwick were in a very bad mood. They had just turned off the projection after witnessing the defeat of Ursula at the hands of the Heroes of Light. Everything was going down the drain…
"And… that's another unfortunate ally gone. Sheesh, how hard can it be to defeat a couple of children?" Roman asked.
"I agree – the problem isn't with the children. Idiots like Ursula don't even pay attention to the main goal of stopping them… They just gloat about their power and in the end – they pay the ultimate price." Maleficent said.
"Oh, well… It doesn't matter. No matter how strong the children get – they will still fall prey to the darkness." Roman said.
"Correct – how many allies do we have left, dear Roman?" Maleficent asked.
"Two more – the doctor and the captain. They have already returned to their vessels." Roman said.
"I see. Very well… The ultimate prize is almost ours." Maleficent said.
"No matter what happens – the heroes of light will lose. They will not succeed." Roman said.
(Back with the group…)
After leaving Atlantica, the group returned to the Gummi Ships and started thinking about which world they should head next.
"There are two more worlds remaining, right?" Sora asked on the communication screen.
The group nodded, as Maka asked. "But, which world should we go next?"
"We are in luck – there is a world very close to Atlantica." Levy said.
"Okay, then… Let's get moving!" Donald said.
The two Gummi Ships started to move again and after a long flight and shooting some Heartless vessels…
"Uh, guys… I'm picking a large signature that appeared on the radar." Goofy said.
"A big Heartless Ship?" Sora suggested.
"It's a possibility." Lucy said.
Just then, to the group's surprise – a gigantic war vessel flied past them. It was painted black, red and yellow.
"Woah! What in the name of God is that!?" Sora asked.
"It's a battleship! And a big one at that!" Maka said.
Just then, the group noticed something flying towards them.
"Hey, what's that coming towards our ships?" Lucy asked.
The group took a closer look at the sky and noticed… a flying missile COMING TOWARDS THEM!?
"OH, SHIT! EVADE! EVADE!" Maka yelled.
The two Gummi Ships managed to dodge the missile attack. But, it wasn't over yet… Because more missiles were flying towards them.
"Crap! We are in big trouble!" Lucy said.
"We have to dodge the missiles and get to that ship quickly!" Levy said.
"Let's get going then!" Sora said.
The two Gummi Ships started to fly faster towards the ship while dodging missiles, but soon they had a new problem to deal with… Heartless planes, aerial robot drones and air mines.
"Great, now we have four types of enemies to deal with!" Maka said.
"We won't last a minute! We may have guns on the Gummi Ships, but they aren't that powerful to destroy all of those projectiles coming towards us!" Donald said.
Unbeknownst to the group, a missile was flying towards them.
"Guys, missile!" Maka said, as the group noticed the missile flying towards them.
"Oh, shit! Evade!" Levy said.
The missile was getting closer towards the gummi ships and it was about to hit them… But, just then – someone or something had destroyed it!
"What the…?" Sora asked.
"Was the missile destroyed?" Maka asked.
"Hey, hope we aren't too late for the party!" An unknown male voice said over the intercom.
The group was confused… Who was that? Was it their savior?
"Who is this?" Sora asked.
"The name's Sonic! Sonic the Hedgehog! Me and my friend Tails saw your ship being attacked by one of Egghead's missiles, so we decided to come and lend a hand!" The male now known as Sonic said over the intercom.
"You've arrived in the nick of time! We could definitely use the help!" Maka said.
"Alright, just follow us and we'll get through Eggman's missiles and mines in no time!" Sonic said.
The group look out through the window and noticed a blue, red and yellow airplane.
"That must be Sonic's vessel - It looks like an airplane." Maka said.
"It is one. But, never mind about that now! We need to follow Sonic's airplane, so we can get aboard the battle ship!" Sora said.
"Right! Let's do this!" Lucy said.
The Gummi Ships and Sonic's airplane started flying towards the gigantic battleship. Along the way, they were dodging missiles that were coming towards them as well as shooting down Heartless ships and aerial drones.
The group eventually reached the ship and started attacking the turrets from which the missiles were coming out. The airplane and the gummi ships got hit a few times, but it wasn't pretty serious. The group destroyed most of the turrets and started flying forward – soon, they were a little far from the ship.
"Hey, you guys holding up?" Sonic asked over the intercom.
"We're fine. Our ships have some minor damage, but nothing to serious. What about you?" Maka asked.
"We're okay. Heads up – we are about to make another run for the ship. Got it?" Sonic asked.
"Roger that! Let's do this!" Sora said.
"Right. But first, Tails!" Sonic said over the intercom.
The group looked outside the windows of the Gummi Ships and saw that the airplane had changed forms – It folded its wings into an X-shape and the plane's tail was much higher.
"Wow, cool…" Sora said.
"Yeah. You ready to get on board that ship?" Maka asked.
The group nodded and Maka smiled.
"Then, let's do this!" Maka said.
The Gummi Ships and the Jet Plane started flying towards the big battleship. Again, they were dodging missiles, drones and Heartless vessels as they flew all the way behind the battleship.
They went underneath it and lo and behold – they were floating mines and multiple missile launchers everywhere. The entire group destroyed most of them, but got hit by a few missiles. Still, they progressed and in the end – everybody reached the front and started flying forward again away from the ship.
After a short flight, the group turned and were once again facing the battleship.
"Now, what?" Maka asked.
"We've destroyed most of Eggman's toys, but I don't-" Sonic was cut off by something that he and the group saw.
The front of big battleship was opened and it… started to glow?
"Guys, quickly move away from the light!" Sonic said over the intercom.
The group quickly moved away as a giant laser beam was fired. After that, the front was closed.
"Woah! What was that?" Sora asked.
"Whatever that was… We have to avoid it at all costs!" Levy said.
"We've got missiles incoming!" Maka said.
The Gummi Ships and the Jet Plane started shooting the missiles again and after a while – the front was opened again.
"Quickly! Attack the big yellow thing – it's a laser cannon!" Maka said.
The Ships and the Jet Plane fired their guns at it and damaged it a little bit. The laser was fired again, but everyone dodged it in time.
The missiles were launched again – Maka's vessel dodged them in time, but Sora's ship and the plane were damaged a little bit. The front was opened again and the group fired their guns at the laser cannon and damaged it.
"How long do we have to do this?" Lucy asked.
"Almost there – I think the cannon is getting damaged." Maka said.
The front was closed again and the missiles were launched at the ships and plane again.
The group dodged the missiles and the front was opened again. The Gummi Ship and the Jet Plane's guns were fired again and this time the cannon was completely destroyed in the process.
"Alright, we did it!" Sora said.
"Now, we can land on the battleship." Maka said.
The group started flying closer and closer towards the battleship and soon they noticed a nice landing strip in which they could land.
"Guys, are you reading me?" Sonic asked over the intercom.
"Yes, loud and clear Sonic." Maka said.
"Get ready to land on board the Egg Carrier." Sonic said.
"Roger that." Sora said.
Soon, both Gummi Ships and the Jet Plane landed on board the Egg Carrier's landing strip.
"Whelp, let's see who are savior is…" Goofy said.
The group exited the Gummi Ships and soon came face to face with two anthropomorphic creatures – a blue hedgehog with sneakers and gloves and a two-tailed fox with sneakers and gloves as well.
"Hey, there! Glad to see ya landed safely!" The hedgehog said with a smile.
"Same here. Thanks for all the help, by the way – I can assume that you are Sonic." Maka asked.
"That's me. Sonic the Hedgehog and this is my buddy and little adopted brother Miles Prower – Tails." The hedgehog known as Sonic said, as he introduced himself and the fox called Tails.
"Nice to meet you." Tails said with a smile.
"Pleasure to meet you as well. My name is Maka Albarn and this my group." Maka introduced herself.
"I'm Sora." Sora introduced himself.
"Lucy." Lucy introduced herself.
"Levy." Levy introduced herself.
"Donald Duck." Donald introduced himself.
"Goofy." Goofy introduced himself.
"Nice to meet ya. So, tell us – what exactly are you doing on Eggman's ship?" Sonic asked.
"Right now… We are searching for something." Maka answered.
"What exactly are you looking for?" Tails asked.
"Well… It's kinda of hard for us to explain, but we are looking for the Keyhole." Sora said.
"The Keyhole – what's that supposed to be?" Sonic asked.
"It is the gateway that leads to the heart of the world. There must be one on this ship as well." Donald said.
"We understand. What exactly is your interest in it?" Tails asked.
"It's our job to lock them in order to ensure that the Heartless don't enter them and devour this world's heart." Levy explained.
"The Heartless? Who are they?" Tails asked.
"They are the darkness in people's hearts. The second job of the Keybearer is to destroy them." Maka explained.
"Understood. Perhaps, we can help you find this Keyhole that you are looking for." Sonic suggested.
"Maybe. But, tell us – what exactly are you doing on this ship and who is Eggman?" Sora asked.
"Eggman is a self-proclaimed genius who has been trying to take over the world for many years. My friends and I have been foiling his plans, but now he's gone too far and he's kidnapped Amy." Sonic explained.
"Who's Amy?" Lucy asked.
"Amy is one of our friend and Sonic's self-proclaimed girlfriend." Tails explained much to Sonic's annoyance.
"She was kidnapped by one of Egghead's robot and now we are trying to rescue her." Tails finished.
"Then let us help you." Sora said.
"We could use all the help we could get. Along the way, we might find that Keyhole you were telling us about." Sonic said.
"The Keyhole. Now, where might I find that?" An unknown voice said to the group.
Everybody looked in the air and to their shock – there was a small black, grey and yellow hovercraft which was shaped like an egg. Inside it, there was a bald man with a brown moustache and navy blue pince-nez glasses. On top of his head, he had grey hexagonal-shaped glasses, a red turtleneck jacket/coat with white trim, yellow cuffs and gold rectangular buttons, black one-piece pants/boots with silver accents and buttons and lastly white cuff-less gloves.
Everybody glared at the bald man while he just smiled.
"Why, Sonic... How nice for you to drop for a visit on board my ship and I see you've brought your two-tailed friend for the ride. Excellent…" The bald man said.
"Alright, Eggman. You better give up now and release Amy if you know what's good for you!" Sonic demanded.
"You are in no position to make demands Sonic. Quite the opposite – it is you that must surrender to me!" The man now known as Eggman demanded.
"Not going to happen." Sonic said.
"Yes, we will stop you." Sora said.
"Ah, if it isn't the children who wield the Keyblades. Very pleased to meet you." Eggman said with a laugh.
"How do you know about us and the Keyblades?" Sora demanded.
"Why, a very good ally of mine told me all about them and what they could do… What I would give to possess a weapon like that." Eggman said with a smile.
"Well, too bad for you… Because the Keyblade chooses its wielder and it chose me, Maka and Levy." Sora said.
"Oh, I already know that…" Eggman said.
"You won't win, Eggman!" Tails said.
"Oh, I don't need to do anything to win… because I have already emerged victorious!" Eggman said with a laugh.
Just then, a giant hand came out of the egg-shaped hovercraft and grabbed Maka tightly.
"MAKA!" The group yelled.
"Let… me… go!" Maka said, as she tried to get free herself from the giant hand.
"Let her go, now!" Sora said.
"You are in no position to make demands, boy! My allies have big plans for your little girlfriend…" Eggman said, as he looked at Maka more closely with a smirk on his face. The ash-blonde haired teenager gulped – she didn't like this guy at all…
"Put our friend down right now, Eggman!" Levy demanded angrily, as she took out her Keyblade.
"Oh, so it's a fight you want…" Eggman said, as he snapped his fingers.
Just then, out of nowhere – the Heartless and multiple robots in the form of animals appeared.
"Then direct your attention and battle these Heartless and robots for me! When you are done, come and find me… but, only if you idiots manage to live through this!" Eggman said.
Soon, he floated away with Maka still captured by the mechanical hand.
"Guys, Sora – help me!" She screamed and soon disappeared.
"We have to save her!" Sora said.
"We will… But first, we have some company." Levy said.
"Get ready for a fight!" Lucy said, as she took out her whip.
The Heartless and the robots started to attack the group, but Sora and Levy destroyed a couple of them using their Keyblades. Lucy whipped some of the tiny beasts, Goofy bashed most of them with his shield and Donald casted Fira at them. Sonic and Tails both used Spin Attack on the robots.
Unfortunately, more Heartless and robots appeared – Sora casted Blizzard at a couple of Heartless and robots, Levy got hurt a little bit and casted Cure on herself, Lucy destroyed several Heartless with her whip, Donald casted Thunder, Goofy bashed them with his shield and finally – Sonic and Tails both used Spin Attack again on the robots and the Heartless. Soon, the enemies were defeated.
"Phew, that was a close one!" Sora said with a grin.
"Yep, so those black things with the yellow eyes are the Heartless?" Sonic asked and the group nodded.
"Well, at least they are gone… for now." Tails said.
"Right, now it's time for us to go after Eggman!" Sora said.
"So, you've won the battle against the Heartless and my robots?" Eggman said over the intercom.
"Yeah, we did! And we are coming for you!" Levy said.
"Don't get too many ideas, you fools! You haven't seen the full power this vessel really has! How about I give you all a little example? Ho, ho, ho!" Eggman said with a laugh.
Just then, to the group's shock – the ship completely changed shape. It unfolded its wings and the back part of the ship was raised up a little bit.
"Woah… Did you guys see that? It's changed shape!" Tails said in a very impressed tone.
"I agree. It is impressive." Sora said.
"Yes, it's impressive – but we have another problem right now!" Lucy said in an annoyed tone.
"Yes, we can't get to the bridge now! It's going to be a lot harder to get to it!" Sonic said.
"Ha, ha, ha! I bet you all weren't expecting this! Now, there is no way you can reach me and save your precious little friends!" Eggman said.
"If you do anything to hurt my girlfriend…" Sora said with a glare.
"Oh, ho - getting angry, are we? Very well… If you idiots still want to reach me, you are going to have to go through the Sky Deck! I doubt if you can figure this one out!" Eggman finished speaking.
"Oh, yeah - Egghead? You think we are scared?" Sonic asked.
"Just you wait until we reach you!" Levy said.
"Come on, guys! Let's go!" Sora said.
The group started going towards the entrance to the Sky Deck…
Author's Notes: Whelp, that's the end of the first part of the Sonic Adventure Arc! I seriously hope you all enjoy the way I did the Sky Chase Battle as well as the group meeting Sonic and Tails. I really hope you like it.
Now, for the next part – there is no way I'm doing the Sky Deck Stage… Because it will get very awkward and my writing will make no sense whatsoever at all. So, I hope you all understand and I eagerly await to hear what your thoughts are on this chapter!
Time for me to say goodbye! Tomorrow, if I have the time – Part 2 will be written. I still have no idea on what the Egg Carrier's Keyhole might be… So, if you have any suggestions and ideas, share them with me.
Well, that's all I have to say! Enjoy reading Chapter 27 and have a wonderful day!
