"I HAVE REASONS THIS TIME! One; My Grandmother is really stingy, Two; I injured my foot, and Three; School started back up. The bane of all children!" I grinned. "So, I'm going to start the chapter on 8/25/13! Let's see how fast I can get it uploaded, shall we? Oh, and LOOOOOOK AT THE COVER PICTURE! I did it on Pizap! YAAAAAY!"
"Mrrroow!"
"Sheldon! Hello, you ninja cat, you! How 'bout you do the disclaimer?"
"Maaarrww…"
Disasre sweatdropped, "He can't talk, Everblue… and he's deaf. He can't possibly understand you."
"Hey, Everblue owns nothing." Riku said.
~sad but true~
"Impossible! Why?!" Maleficent roared in frustration. "We have all of the Princesses of Heart. Why does it refuse to open?!"
"Because these girls have lost their hearts."Sasuke appeared from behind her, the curse mark given to him by Orochimaru acting similar to fire as it spread across his body. Sakura lay limp in his arms, Kairi on the floor behind them. "Without their hearts, their power will never be able to be released."
"Where have you been, child? You…" The witch looked at him in slight alarm, noticing the dark keyblade at his side. "That is…"
"You'll see soon enough." He chuckled darkly.
Riku walked into the room and he came up beside the green skinned woman, looking up. "So, I see the path has emerged at last. Unlock it and the Heartless will overrun this world in a flood." The silver warned.
"What do I care? The darkness holds no power over me." She boasted. "Rather, I am the one with power over the darkness. And I will use it to rule all worlds. I cannot and will not be swallowed."
"…Really?" Sasuke allowed his bangs to hide his eyes, "Interesting…"
"Such Confidence."Riku smirked, before bringing forth his own dark blade. Which Maleficent admired silently.
That's when they heard the footsteps of the Keyblade Squad.
"The king's fools are here. I'll deal with them myself. You stay here and guard the princesses." She ordered.
And with that, she left.
Riku and Sasuke watched her departure, a Malevolent Auras surrounding them.
Sasuke grinned maniacally, "Then, let's try!"
~o.o~
Naruto ground his teeth in irritation as they entered the next room, "THAT WAS WAY TOO COMPLICATED!"
"You're tellin' me!" Flynn panted from behind.
"Don't complain!" Beast snarled.
Sora, Donald, and Goofy stopped a little ahead of them, for Maleficent suddenly appeared! "I'm afraid you're too late. Any moment now, the final Keyhole will be unsealed. This world will plunged into darkness. It is unstoppable."
"That's what you think! You're going down, hag!" Naruto yelled.
"After coming this far, there's no way we're gonna let that happen!" Sora agreed.
"BELIEVE IT!"
"Yeah, it'd be a bummer for my tan!" All eyes turned on Flynn. "Uh…I mean….We'll protect them?"
Naruto facepalmed.
"You poor, simple fools. You think you can defeat me?" Maleficent exclaimed, offended. "Me, the Mistress of all evil?"
"Uh, yeah? Kinda. That's why we're trying to FIGHT you!"
"Wait, doesn't that mean you're all the bad guy's—"
"DON'T SAY IT!"
~Bwahaha~
Maleficent used her magic to create a floating rock, which she stood upon. Using it to avoid their attacks.
"Hold still, already!" Donald shouted.
"How are we gonna reach…" Naruto's eyes widened as an idea came to him. Two Ideas actually. "Everyone, keep distracting her! Beast? You're with me!"
Naruto quickly told his companion what he'd had in mind.
"Let's do it." Beast agreed.
Quickly, The two separated to different sides of the room. Naruto applied chakra to his feet, running up the wall. Beast used his claws. Then, they lunged.
Beast managed to get a good hit in, landing on the rock before she knocked him off of it with her staff. He was thrown to the other side of the room, the wind knocked out of him.
Naruto… missed. He barely managed to grab the edge of the rock before Maleficent stomped on his hands and pushed him off. He fell on his butt. Hard. He couldn't even complain, for the witch shot a spell at him. He sprinted towards the wall again, this time focusing on the feeling he had before. When he made the Rasengan through his keyblade, but tapped into his magic reserves…and something else.
He propelled himself to her, throwing his keyblade which was wrapped in chakra and magic, and said what came natural, "Art of the Keyblade: Rasenkaze!"
The magic and chakra combined, revealing Naruto's chakra element(not that he knew) to be wind, as it spiraled around. It plunged itself into her stomach as Naruto cocked his fist. "NEVER UNDERESTIMATE ME!" He socked her in the chest. "Why do you even want the worlds!? To drown them in the darkness? Why?! What's the point in it?!" He continued to lay into her, dealing punch after punch.
She grabbed both his wrists in one hand, dangling him over the edge. "That…is none of your business, Jinjuriki of the Kyuubi."
He froze in his struggle to be released from her grip, "Y-You know?!"
She laughed harshly, "OF COURSE I KNOW, FOOL!"
"Naruto! What is she talking about?!" Donald quacked.
"It's nothing!" He tried to lie. To protect himself. "It's not important."
"How naïve. You haven't told them?" She smirked haughtily. "I'll just have to do it for you!"
"No!" He struggled once more, before she cast a spell upon him. He went limp, his eyes fluttered shut. She threw him in the direction that Beast was still in, having gotten up only a minute ago.
Beast caught him as the others' eyes widened. "Don't worry. He's just unconscious."
A sigh of relief was shared amongst the allies. Before Flynn yelled, "Hey! She's getting away!"
Sora grit his teeth, "BLIZZARD!"
Maleficent dodged with a huff. Her rock was destroyed as she landed upon the floor, glaring at them. A Dark Portal appeared behind her. The injured women prepared to leave, but was determined to leave them with a present. "That boy, Naruto, he is the container of the Nine-tailed fox. A demon stronger than all heartless and is said to be pure darkness. Kyuubi destroyed many lives until a man of the light came and sealed it into a baby. Him. Naruto is the Demon Fox! He should be on our side." Satisfied, she faded into her portal.
Shock, fear, and distrust lay in its wake.
~DUN DUN DUN~
"Sora…did you know about this?" Beast said quietly.
"…No! Maybe? …Yes…" The teenager sighed.
"I can't believe it…" Goofy said.
"Neither can I! We've been travelling with this…thing! This whole time?" Donald fumed, shocking all around him.
"If he's really that dangerous, maybe we should get rid of him." Beast suggested, gesturing to the sleeping blonde.
"What? No!" Sora pleaded.
"You heard Maleficent, Sora! He should be on their side! He's practically a heartless himself!" Donald argued.
"It might be better this way," Beast reasoned.
"But it's Naruto!" Sora said in disbelief. Why were they doing this…? "You KNOW him! He's never—"
"But can we really take that risk, Sora?"
"What risk?! Come on!"
"You've got to be kidding me." Everyone's head snapped to Flynn as he spoke. "Isn't the kid your friend? Spike's right, you can't just abandon Blondie after all you've been through. You can't tell me this changes anything? So what if he's got something dangerous and powerful in him? Look at it as an advantage. If he was supposed to be on their side, why's he with us? Nothing's really changed, He's the same person you saw before that witch dropped that bomb on us."
The group was silent as they absorbed what the thief had told them. It was unexpected to say the least. But… wasn't he right?
Breaking the silence, Goofy decided to finally ask, "Why didn't he tell us?"
"He didn't want you to hate him. He wanted us to be his friends." Sora replied.
"I'm his friend." Goofy told him.
"So am I." The conscious keybearer grinned.
"Don't forget me!" Flynn grinned, "Brat's starting to get to me."
"Me too!" Donald blurted out, causing everyone to laugh at him.
Beast grunted, "Fine."
~YAY~
Naruto opened his eyes, mind blurry as he tried to remember what happened.
Sakura beamed, "Great! You're awake!"
"Wha…?"
Her image blurred to reveal Sora as the islander told his friend, "C'mon! We've got worlds to save!" He held out his hand to the shinobi.
Naruto stared at it for a moment, gazing around. Everyone was looking at him with smiles on their faces. They were accepting, friendly, warm. He liked it. Face bursting out into a wide grin, he clasped his fellow keybearer's hand as he got up.
He didn't quite remember what Maleficent said or why he was so worried, but… he was relieved.
His family accepted him.
~whoosh~
"YAY I ACTUALLY FINISHED THIS IN ONE DAY! Just like old times!" I sniffled. "So, how was this chapter? I didn't originally plan for them to find out about the Kyuubi, it just…happened!"
