A\N:
I'm in a terrible slump, and I literally have no writing creativity or motivation. I will still be trying to get every chapter of this story up, just because I am dedicated to this since it is the first story series I have. Please be patient with me, this is the first time I've ever experienced a slump like this.
Chapter Twenty-Nine
ଓ
She strikes again!
It wasn't hard whatsoever to beat Pete, and I found it a little suspicious. It was harder the last time, so something must be up. When he tried to play it like he didn't know us, Sora told him to cut the act. A whistling noise came from the river and Pete tried to head that way, but wasn't in any condition to. Sora, Donald, Goofy and I huddled up, and Goofy admitted that something was indeed off. "Are you sure you're Pete?" he asked.
"Of course I'm Pete! I'm the captain of the steamboat!" he shouted, rubbing his head. "I gotta find the runt who stole my boat!"
"You guys, I think he's telling the truth," I said as we huddled up again. Sora had his head down in thought, and Goofy looked at Pete again.
"Are you sure we made a mistake?" he asked.
"He's probably not the same," Sora said as he placed his fingers beneath his chin. "I mean, he hasn't even called any heartless."
After thinking it over, Goofy walked over to Pete and apologized. However, Pete said if we were sorry, then we'd help him find his boat. Sora immediately agreed for all of us, and Pete fell over due to his back pain. I felt bad for hitting an innocent Pete, so Donald and I helped him a little with our healing spells.

After helping Pete, we got into a discussion about helping Pete with his steamboat while also finding the door Merlin was talking about. That all stopped when we saw a floating stage near us, and so we walked over to it. The drapes were closed so we couldn't see what was inside, so Donald opened them by pulling the string next to it. A flash of light appeared, and all of a sudden, a bunch of floating windows appeared. We also saw heartless entering all of them! When the flash of light appeared again, we were outside the floating stage. I shook and blinked a few times, and what we saw must have been what happened before we entered this world. Donald pulled the string again, and the same floating windows appeared.
"Let's get rid of those heartless!" Sora suggested. We all agreed, and started heading towards the nearest window. As we walked, I couldn't help but look over towards Sora. Seeing him in his old outfit made me think of last year, and to be honest, I really couldn't remember all the little bits in between. I just really remember meeting Sora, fighting the heartless, and beating that imposter who called himself Ansem. He slightly turned his head enough for me to see his chain necklace, and it made me touch my neckline. I really wanted to get that necklace back, but I didn't want to risk time we could use to find the king or Riku instead. I had no choice but to leave it at Mulan's world for now.
We entered the window, and ended up in the middle of a construction site. We looked around, and Goofy immediately told Sora to watch out. I was close towards Goofy, and when I turned around I saw a hammer-like heartless about to hit Sora. I gasped, and ran to him—but then we all saw the king kicking the heartless while hanging from a rope! Sora, Donald and Goofy shouted for the king, and he landed a level above us. "He looks kinda different," Goofy mentioned.
"Heartless!" shouted Sora. I looked up, and a bunch of heartless appeared around us. We took out our weapons, and prepared for battle. Sora, Donald and Goofy fought off the bigger crowd of heartless, while I fought the lesser ones. It was no problem for me, but I was a little concerned since the rest had gone a little farther from where I was.
I fought a couple of the shadows, and I was making progress. They weren't as hard anymore, which was a good sign for me, but I still needed training if I wanted to fight as well as Sora. When I looked over to the other guys they were completely out of sight. They had more heartless to deal with, so I tried my best to fight off the ones here so I could meet up. When I defeated the last heartless, I wiped the sweat from my forehead. A dark portal appeared out of nowhere, and I immediately brought up my keyblade.
I was so scared since I was all by myself, but the next thing I knew I was pushed so hard that I felt myself tip off the ledge of the site. I tried balancing myself, and when I looked forward, I saw the one thing I didn't want to see at the time.
It was the clone at Olympus Coliseum, or fakey, as the boys called her. She was staring at me, and I tried so hard to get back on my toes. It felt like she had a hold over me, since I knew by now I would've fallen. She gave me a smirk, and chuckled. "Stealing you now will be so easy!"
In an instant, I felt the hold wear off, and I started to fall. I screamed as loud as I could, but that wasn't helping with anything. I closed my eyes and started to whimper, the thought of me dying completely filled my mind, and the next thing I knew…
Well, everything went pitch black.

Sora
Sora immediately heard a scream not too far from where he was, and the first thing he thought of was Marie. They finished off the last round of heartless, and he looked at Goofy and Donald and nodded. They quickly rushed to the previous area and when Sora stopped, he saw Marie.
At least, that's what he thought.
"Well, look who decided to show," she said as she turned around. Sora raised his keyblade in defense, and instantly knew this girl wasn't Marie. She quickly jumped onto the level above her, and placed her hands on her hips, "If you're wondering where she is, you'll just have to catch me!"
"We're not here for games! Where is she?" Sora shouted. They all knew her power, and she was not one to be trifled with. She instead just chuckled, and ran away. Sora growled in annoyance, and quickly ran after her with Donald and Goofy following not far from him.
Sorry again for the late(and short chapter)update, but I'm getting better at it! It's only been 17 days since my last update!
I am dreading the next chapter though, because of the fact that you enter each stage or whatever to find Mickey and it's so goshdarn annoying. I swear KH sometimes makes me rip me hair out!
grapejuice101:
Sorry, I'm not feeling all that creative, hence my slump. I'm trying my best though. It'll be a while, but when they will be I'll make it epic I swear! Yes, ORG13 is still trying to capture her, and they're using fakey to do it! DX
WingOfHope:
Haha, you should be my muse! Your brain functions exactly like mine! Although I can't spoil anything! It'll be more painful awkward than funny though. DX
Dracula X:
Oh geez, thanks. XD I know I took forever, but I surprisingly have a life. :O I am trying hard to update asap though.
Anna Crosszeria:
Aw, I know! I'm so sorry! And don't worry, everyone needs their time alone. I know I did. XD haha, it might be the cure, or maybe not? Who knoooows! All I know is that it'll be very awkward, and Ryan is sort of slow in the brain to begin with. XD LOL I would love that book if it were real.
Lvl-ZeR0:
LOL the blue lollipops! I love them blue lollis. XD that sounded wrong, haha. I am getting better at updating, aren't I? I FEEL SO PROUD HUR DUR. She will help Marie out, but it won't be with her powers, she's just weak like that. I have plans for her strength later on in the series though. XD
XxKeyOfHeartxX:
I know, I feel the same, especially for Axel, Demyx and Xigbar. They're all so chills in their DS game. Aura will retain her bad-assery, but she's not so hateful, thanks to Riku. Haha, Demyx would probably flake on the killing, I can't see him doing something as bad as that! XD thanks! I feel like I'm getting better!
dracula-key:
thanks! Oh, trust me, I am dying to start on that world so badly! I also want to get to the 1000 battle since that part is going to be HUGE to Marie's memories.
