Hey there!
I had a bit of a block in this chapter, but now it's finally up!
shoutouts!
Legionary Prime: At the moment, I have to concentrate on a few Plot points, but then if I played it, yes (might get bad if i don't know what I'm writing about)
TheEightLight: well... shit^^
TerraKH: Yes, he'll soon be back. And that was actually my other option for the ending of this little "crash" between Jack and Sora. And thanks!
khheroxasoray: Thanks!
XxThe-Crest-Of-AnubisxX: Sorry it's that late! And only now?
The Unknowing Herald: Yup, and I'm going to have my fun with it sometimes! Why not? I like them!
Angelalex242: Sorry that you are, but that's the way i want it ^^
"So, that's the hombre that helped you save the worlds?" the roster asked and looked suspicious at Sora.
"Actually-" Donald started but was interrupted by the parrot.
"Oh Donaldo, we know you are a much bigger deal than we are! You are mago real, a royal mage! I am a mere barman..." the parrot looked at the roster "And what are you? A poor cowboy."
The roster grinned and shook his head "As Donal' would say, I used to be a cowboy. But now..." he pointed at the golden star on his poncho "Now I am Panchito Pistoles, sheriff and fastest colt from here to Mexico!"
"You are what?" Donald and the parrot asked in unison.
Panchito only grinned and nodded.
"Donaldo, why don't you introduce us to your amigos?" the parrot then asked.
Donald pulled Sora to him "Sora, that's José Charioca, barman, trickster and, even though he doesn't look like it, a very dangerous person."
José chuckled "Oh Donaldo, don't say such things! I'm just a bar owner..."
"Yeah? Remember me to not go in those kind of bars anymore…" Donald muttered and then turned to Panchito "And that's Panchito Pistoles, former cowboy and apparently now Sheriff. He is the fastest shooter from here to his homeworld."
Panchito nodded "Sí, so don't mess with me or… peng!"
"After you met the most dangerous team in my kingdom, can we go on to make a detailed plan?" King Mickey asked and walked over to Master Yen Sid's desk.
With a wave of his hand, Yen Sid summoned a ghostly image of Castle Oblivion "I assume you made plans?"
This hit Sora by surprise.
"Well… improvise!" Roxas immediately suggested.
"Uhm… Yes of course!" Sora answered, while Mickey only nodded.
"Do you want first Sora, or should I start?" the mouse king asked.
"The stage is yours…" Sora muttered and started to think for a plan himself.
The king nodded and walked over to the projection.
"The whole plan is only about getting into the castle." Mickey explained "the three Caballeros will approach the entrance of the castle and knock until someone opens."
José nodded "Then I will introduce myself as a thankful wanderer and-" out of his sleeve came a small gun "boa noite, good night."
"After this I assume Master Aqua will take the lead?" King Mickey asked.
Aqua nodded "We need to reach the last floor of the Castle. There is a hidden room with Ventus body inside. We need to reach him and get out again with him."
"And after that?" Riku asked curious.
"We give him his heart back." Yen Sid answered.
"And how do you plan to do this?" Kairi asked curious.
"I want to talk to Sora, Riku, Aqua and Lea in private about it." Yen Sid answered and stood up-
Lea looked surprised at his Master "Me?"
The old Keyblade Master looked at his former apprentice "Yes you, Lea. If you four follow me."
"Master, shouldn't I be there too?" Mickey asked confused.
Yen Sid shook his head "Sorry, your majesty not this time."
The four Keyblade wielder followed the elder Master into the room where the three fairies usually were.
"So, how are we going to do it?" Riku asked as soon as he closed the door behind them.
"Yeah and why does it involve me at all?" Lea added.
"I'll explain it soon, Lea." Yen Sid said and turned to Riku "Tell the others what you reported to me about after you defeated Sora's Nightmare."
The silver haired teen looked surprised at his Master but nodded "In Sora's heart… or dream… I met three people. Roxas. I assume Ventus too, or Roxas twice. And a black haired girl I never met before…"
"This could mean that all three reside in Sora's heart, or at least two and a the girl could symbolize something else…" Yen Sid explained "Sora, do you sometimes hear voices in your head that don't belong to you?"
"Now they get to something!" Roxas said amused "They know it Sora, tell them you are crazy."
"Shut up"
"Roxas…" Sora answered "He talks to me sometimes. He is quite… happy most of the tome…"
"Maybe because you finally keep your promise!"
Yen Sid nodded "That means at least Roxas' heart is in you. And I hope Ventus' too."
"And how do we remove Ventus' heart without unlocking Sora's heart and killing him?" Aqua asked worried.
Lea nodded "Yeah, and how does it involve me?"
"Sora's heart needs to be unlocked, so Roxas' and Ventus' hearts can be freed…" Yen Sid said without a sign of regret.
"I'm not going to let that happen!" Riku burst out angry and somewhat stood protecting in front of Sora.
"As sad as I am to say this," Sora said and pushed Riku to the side "It somehow makes sense… seven guardians of light… you, Kairi, Lea, Mickey, Aqua, Ventus and Terra. As Jack would say: If that's my story… Then it's my story…"
Yen Sid shook his head "You don't need to give your life. I developed a potion that should stop the unlocking of your heart, but the hearts of Ventus and Roxas should still be able to leave your body."
"And you are sure this will work?" Riku asked angry and curious.
"Sadly, no… But we need to try it! It is hard for me to say it, but two lives are worth more than one…"
"Hey, wait a second!" Lea suddenly said "Do you mean Roxas gets freed too?"
Yen Sid nodded "Yes."
"And what exactly are we going to do with his heart? I mean there's no body for him!" Lea asked confused.
In that moment, a loud ban occurred in the middle of the room and another old man in a blue robe stood in front of them.
"Merlin!" The four Keyblade wielder exclaimed surprised.
The magician nodded "Yes and Yen Sid, I brought what you asked for."
Yen Sid took the bat, that seemed to have a living being inside, thankfully.
"We use a Dusk to give Roxas a body. The power of the heart should make him appear like Roxas' original body." He explained to the confused looking tens and Lea.
"So, Roxas gets his own body again?" Sora asked surprised.
"Oh Yeah! Finally I don't have to hear your thoughts anymore!"
Yen Sid nodded "Yes he does."
"Then what are we waiting for?" Roxas asked exited.
"So, when do we leave?" Sora asked his friends.
Everybody in the room, except maybe Merlin, looked surprised at Sora.
"You… you are okay with probably getting killed?" Riku asked shocked.
Sora nodded "If there's no other way, yes…"
He turned around and left the room without another word.
"Cid, inform the Shera to power up the engines, we go to Castle Oblivion now!"
Riku and the others followed Sora out of the room.
"Good thing I don't forget everything…" the silver haired teen muttered as he gave Sora the bottle with a silver liquid in it.
"So, we go with my plan?" The king asked Sora.
Sora nodded "Yes, King Mickey, we do."
He then turned to the rest of the people in the room "Okay, you heard it! Over the next few hours, I want you all to prepare for a fight! It might not happen, but better safe than sorry!"
Cid came to Sora "Shera is ready to bring up the first half!"
Sora nodded and turned to Master Yen Sid and Merlin "Are you coming with us?"
With a flash, a part of the warriors disappeared.
The old Keyblade Master shook his head "My place is here, not on the battlefield, as is Merlin's. But I wish you luck!"
Sora nodded and with a flash, he and the remaining warriors disappeared.
Sora came walking out of the Transporter Room where Cid and Riku already waited for him.
"How long will it take us to reach Castle Oblivion?" He asked as they walked to the Command Central.
"We'll reach in about two hours." Cid answered him.
Sora nodded "Good, get me in one and a half hour."
"Where are you going?" Riku asked surprised.
The spikey haired teen grinned at his best friend "I'm going to take a nap!"
Riku started to laugh as Sora left the room "Lazy bum…"
As he walked up to his room, someone sneaked up behind Sora and covered his eyes.
"Guess who it is!" The person said happy.
"I know it's you Kairi… What do you want?" Sora asked with a smile as he turned around.
(Final Distance, Utada Hikaru)
"I- I wanted to talk to you…" Kairi answered, not so happy anymore.
Sora still smiled at her "Okay, shoot."
"Uhm… Castle Oblivion…" Kairi started and took a deep breath "If there really is the whole Organization… It could happen that one of us dies…"
Sora looked shocked at the red haired girl "Don't say something like that!"
Kairi shook her head "But it could happen… and now… I wanted to talk to you about something."
"Tell her that you like her!" Roxas urged Sora.
"Not now… how- forget it…"
"If not now, you might regret it later! What if one of you really dies in Castle Oblivion? And the odds are kind of against you in last time!"
"Maybe you're right…"
"Actually I wanted to talk to you too." Sora answered calm.
"Yeah?" Kairi asked surprised.
Sora took a deep breath "Kairi… I-"
But before he was able to tell Kairi how he felt about her, someone pressed herself between the two.
(sudden end Final Distance)
"You guys ready for the fight?" Luriél asked excited.
She seemed not to realized the glares she received from both Kairi and Sora or just ignored them.
"I guess yes…" Sora answered annoyed.
Kairi nodded and brought more space between herself and the two other teens "I… I better go to my room and get ready now…"
Sora looked after Kairi for a moment and then looked back at the green haired girl "I better get to my room too, need to rest a bit…"
Luriél nodded "Okay, then see you later!"
"Is it wrong to wish she falls in a coma and never awakes again?" Roxas asked curious as Sora walked away, towards his room.
"Yes. Lulu is still our friend…"
"Fine…" Roxas sighed.
As Sora reached his room, he immediately laid down and closed his eyes.
"Hey, wake up!" Someone said and shook him.
"Huh? What is it?" Sora asked sleepy.
"You didn't come, so Cid send me to get you to the Command Central. Get up!" Riku ordered and then pulled Sora out of his bed, making him hit the ground.
"No need to kill me now… you get your chance soon…" Sora muttered as he got up.
"Yeah? Shut up!" Riku said with a laugher.
"You shut up…" Sora muttered as he put on his vest, that he somehow managed to get to the other side of his room.
Riku nodded and grabbed Sora's arm "Fine, but you still come with me!"
Sora, having no real reason to resist, followed his best friend into the Command Central.
"Ah, you finally brought him here!" Cid said a bit annoyed as the two teens entered the room.
"How long until we reach Castle Oblivion?" Sora asked as he walked over to the chain smoking pilot.
"Ten minutes…" Cid answered as he lit a cigarette.
Sora nodded "What's your suggestion to do now?"
Cid got out his tablet "Red alert on all stations of course! Might have a fleet around the Castle!"
"Good then put up the alert. And the Shera would stand an attack from a fleet?" Sora asked.
"Not long if they have many bigger ships, that's for sure! That's why you need to take the Star Shards with you…"
Sora nodded again "Good. Anything else?"
With a grin, Riku handed a microphone to Sora.
"What's that for?" Sora asked confused.
Cid didn't answer, but pressed on a button on his tablet "Tis is Captain Cid. Our Commanding Officer as many call him already has something to say."
Sora looked surprised and shocked at Cid and Riku "No!" he whispered angry.
"Too late." Riku whispered back with a smirk.
"Fine…" Sora sighed "This is Sora speaking."
(Stand Strong, Stand Together; Mass Effect 3)
It may not look like it, but since the attack on Twilight Town, we are in a war. Xehanort and his Organization send out their Heartless and Nobodies to attack worlds and let the darkness consume them.
Kairi sat on her bed and looked at the speaker of the intercom. She smiled at the sound of Sora's voice and whipped the tears away.
Today, we turn the tables. We attack what could even be their lair.
There will be Heartless for sure.
Many of them…
King Mickey and Donald watched as José and Panchito cleaned their firearms and placed them on a table. It was a rather large amount for two people.
To the crew of the Shera.
Xehanort is definitely no fool, so prepare for a fierce battle. Every man and woman shall give his or her best! Believe in your Captain as much as I do. With him, this ship will be victorious in every battle!
Jack sat on the couch on the observation deck, where he fell asleep, but was now awake again.
Aqua sat on the other couch and read a book, but now listened to Sora's speech. Luriél was also in the room and watched the stars, while leaning on the wall.
And to my friends… my team, I already feel guilty for forcing you all down there. If we are lucky, there will be one or two members of the Organization. If not, well…
Cloud and Zack had a spare in the Simulation Room, while Aerith and Tifa had one for themselves.
They stopped as they heard Sora's voice over the Intercom.
If not, we'll have to fight them all…
If we fail today, more and more worlds will fall into darkness again because we can't protect them anymore. But it would at least keep Xehanort from reaching his real goal.
Vincent sat in his darkened room with a glass of wine and listened to Sora.
Lightning and Goofy where both in the kitchen of the shop. Lightning was there to read and Goofy to make himself something to eat. They both stopped too however.
Even though it's probably my worst nightmare if one of us dies, I have to say it…
It's us or them today. We don't know what happens when you kill one of them.
Hell, we don't even know if it is possible!
But don't, and I really mean it, don't use all of your energy in one single attack!
Lea snickered as he heard this.
If we stand strong, together we will defeat them and throw them out of Castle Oblivion!
And as soon as we all returned well and unharmed to the ship, we'll have a big party!
We meet in the Transporter Room.
Sora out
(end Stand Strong, Stand Together)
Sora quickly put the microphone away and sighed. As soon as it was turned off, the alert started.
"Good job!" Riku said with a smile and smacked his best friend on the back.
"Really?" Sora asked surprised.
Riku nodded "Yeah, I'd be happy to be able to pull something like this! You are a born leader!"
"I'm no leader Riku…" Sora said as he turned around to leave the Command Central.
"Sora, Riku, wait!" Cid called after them.
As the two teens turned around, Cid saluted them.
"Good luck down there!" he said as he lowered his arm again.
Sora nodded "Thanks. Good luck up here too."
"We don't need luck, we have my baby here and the skill needed for it!" Cid answered with a smirk "Now quick, we'll arrive soon!"
Sora and Riku both said their goodbye and quickly made their way to the transporter room.
As they reached it, they saw that everybody already waited.
"Mickey, do you have a Star Shard?" Riku asked the mouse.
The king nodded and showed the small crystal to Riku.
"You got yours too?" Sora asked the silver haired teen.
He nodded "Yes… you have the portion?"
Sora grinned "Do you really think I want to sacrifice my life if there's a possibility to avoid it?"
"Okay, get ready!" The officer at the controls said "we go back to normal speed in ten seconds!"
Everybody got ready to enter the transporter.
"Nine"
"Nice speech you had there" Kairi whispered to Sora.
"Eight"
Sora looked surprised at her "You liked it?"
"Seven"
Kairi nodded with a smile "Yes I did!"
"Six"
"I hope nothing happens…" Sora sighed.
"Five"
"Not only you do." Riku said to him.
"Four"
Sora nodded at Riku and then looked at everybody.
"Three"
"Ready?" he asked into the group.
"Two"
Everybody nodded.
"One"
Kind of a nasty cliffhanger.
So, as always I hope you liked it!
Next Chapter is already in the writing so i hope i can upload it soon!
Till then!
