Hey, everyone! Here's the shout outs:
Janazza: Lol, I forget it, too! Sora will always be cocky! And I guess you'll find out in this chapter!
Gohan Roxas: Lol, yeah, it was based off that. Rage Awakened is just so epic, though. It's my personal favorite boss song of the series.
TWI1IGHTMAST3R: Yeah. One will be a Dissidia crossover, one will be the drabbles, and the last will be a one-shot happening directly after this is finished.
AngelicWinds: Lol, I know. That's because this really is Jack's story.
TheEighthLight: It's okay, everyone gets busy. I'm glad your back.
Celeron96: Yep, it's probably my favorite chapter that I've ever written. Thanks, and I'm glad!
The Unknowing Herald: Lol, yeah I agree. And Jack is Light. Light is Jack. It's just Jack fully embracing who he really is. The double voice is because Light and Darkness exist and always clash with each other. Jack is Light. Does that make sense?
Shadowdragon1317: Lol, thanks!
You know what I own. I have two announcements today: One, please vote on my poll since it will decide what course of action I take once the Wanderer's Trilogy(and its spinoffs) is complete. Two, which is part of number one, I have begun plans for Kingdom Hearts 3: Into the Depths of Darkness Final Mix. I thought about this after looking back at where I started and was appalled at how the first half of IDoD is. I want to rewrite it with my ability gained through WC and RTDoD. It won't just be a rewrite, though. The fight scenes will be revamped, there will be additional scenes, and characterization will be much better. So let me know if you agree or disagree to this, and then please vote on my poll. Anyway, here's the next chapter.
Chapter 37: Prince Caspian
"Jack!" yelled Mist as she ran into the room and jumped into his arms. He smiled as he hugged her tightly.
"Daddy?" asked Rayne from the door. Jack let go of Mist and looked over at his daughter. His face shined with emotion as he ran to his daughter and hugged her.
"I'm so sorry, Rayne. I'm sorry that I let Xehanort scare you. I promise, he's gone for good." he told her. She looked at him and smiled.
"That's what you think!" yelled a voice sounding like Xehanort.
"No way!" yelled Terra angrily as he, Jack, Ven, Aqua, Sora, Riku, Mickey, and Eraqus summoned their Keyblades.
"Woah woah woah! You like my voice imitating skills?" Lea asked, laughing as he walked in the door. Everyone glared at him and dismissed their Keyblades. Lea sighed and put his guard down. At that moment, Aqua zapped him with Thundaga, sending him toppling down the tower stairs.
He fell out onto the ground just outside the tower. He climbed to his feet as the doors closed and locked behind him. "Hey, c'mon, I was only kidding!" he yelled up to the window.
Jack looked around the room. He realized that every person in the room had risked their lives to restrain Xehanort so they could save him. "I can't believe you all care so much about me." he said wonderingly as he glanced around the room once more. Terra shook his head, Ven smiled, Sora rubbed his neck, and Aqua and Mist both glared at him.
"How many times have I told you not to doubt yourself!?" they both exclaimed simultaneously. Mist walked forward and raised her fist back, and Jack cowered behind his left arm. The punch didn't come though, as Mist hugged him once more.
At that moment, Yen Sid's alarm started going off. "What is it?" Sora asked.
"Heartless and Specters are pouring into this world, Disney Castle, Camelot, and Narnia. Illusion must be doing final testing for his armies." Yen Sid told them.
"What's the plan?" Jack asked him. Yen Sid looked at Eraqus.
"Take Mist and Rayne to the Land of Departure and wait there for further word." he told him. Eraqus nodded and walked over to Jack.
"Do not worry, Jack. I will lay down my life for them if I must." he vowed. Jack smiled and nodded.
"There are few that I would choose over you, Master." he replied. Eraqus raised an eyebrow.
"I am your master no longer, for you are no longer an apprentice." he reminded him. Jack smiled.
"I know, but you will always be a mentor and a father to me." he told him. Eraqus smiled and walked to the door.
"I'm still out here!" yelled Lea from the ground.
"You two be safe." Jack said to his girlfriend and daughter. Rayne pouted as Mist nodded.
"Daddy, I want to fight! You told me that I needed to train and I have been! Auntie Aqua's been training me! I'm ready!" she whined. Jack smiled as he knelt down to her.
"We will need your blade soon, sweetheart. Let us handle this fight. You'll get your chance, I promise. I can't protect you while I'm fighting armies of Heartless. Please just do what I say." he told her firmly. She looked at him and rolled her eyes. He raised his eyebrow. "I know you're not showing me attitude, Rayne." he said warningly. She ignored him. He sighed, turning to Mist. "Fine, deal with her as you see fit. Apparently I'm not getting through to her." he told her as he hugged her. Mist nodded sullenly.
"Be safe." she told him. He nodded at her. Rayne had heard his words, though, and was not happy.
"No, Daddy! Please, don't tell her that!" she begged, but Jack sighed and walked back to the desk as Eraqus, Mist, and her walked through a portal.
"What about the rest of us?" Terra asked. Mickey spoke up.
"Donald and Goofy should be enough to hold the Castle until I can get there. Anyone coming with me?" he asked the group.
"Of course, I'm with you." Riku told his friend at once. Mickey looked up and smiled.
"Don't count me out!" Ven told him energetically.
"Then your team is set, Mickey." Yen Sid told him. Mickey nodded.
"Everyone grab on!" he told Riku and Ven as he held up the Star Shard. A second later, they were gone. Yen Sid stood up and looked at those remaining: Jack, Terra, Sora, Aqua, and Lea came running in the door.
"Jack, I want you to take Terra, Aqua, and Lea to Narnia." Yen Sid told him. Jack looked at him in shock.
"I'm not leaving you and Sora here to fight alone!" he argued. Sora smirked at him.
"I can take them, Cousin. Besides, Yen Sid's with me. We'll be fine. Just go." he told him. Jack looked at Terra and Aqua, who nodded. He sighed, summoning his blade.
"Fine. C'mon." he told Terra and Aqua as he summoned a portal. Terra and Aqua led the way through. Jack waited for Lea to go through, but the red-head was slow.
"I've got a bad feeling about th-!" he began. He yelped as Jack pushed him through the portal and stepped through after him.
NARNIA…..
It was the middle of night. A lone young man with shoulder-length black hair rode through the dark forest. Soldiers on horseback galloped after him. He looked behind him, seeing the soldiers gaining on him. He urged his horse faster. He quickly crossed a river and continued on through the brush. He looked behind him again and didn't see anyone. He smiled as he turned ahead of him again and his face smacked into a branch. He grunted as he fell onto his back. But his boot was still connected to the spur on the horse, so he was dragged through several hundred yards of forest before he managed to get it out.
He slowly sat up and looked around him. He was in a clearing, and in front of him was a massive towering tree. He heard the soldiers yelling in the distance, and at the same time saw a door open in the tree. Two short people stepped out holding short swords. One had black hair and a black beard, and the other had golden brown hair and a beard. "He's seen us." the one with black hair muttered. The golden haired one ran up to him and flashed his knife. That was when they heard the men coming. He quickly looked back at the other.
"Take care of him!" he yelled as he dashed out of the clearing toward the soldiers. The boy looked at the black bearded man as he walked toward him with his sword in hand. The boy reached for the white horn that was said to bring help when it was blown. He put it to his lips and let out a loud blast. A second later, the short man hit him in the face and all went dark. The man quickly dragged him into the tree and the invisible door shut behind him.
Not a minute later, a portal opened and Terra and Aqua stepped into the clearing. A second later, Lea went flying onto his face as Jack stepped out and closed the portal. "This place looks….different." Aqua pointed out.
"You've been here before?" Terra asked her. She nodded.
"Me, Sora, Jack, Riku, and Kairi came here before." she told him. Jack looked around them as Lea picked himself up.
"Wait, you two. Look at this." he told them as he crouched next to a dent in the leaves. Leaves were all around them, but there was a line coming into the clearing where they had been disturbed. The line stopped next to where he was crouched, and led into the tree.
"Don't look now, but I think this is our man." he told them as he stood back and walked toward the tree. The other three stayed behind him as he approached it.
When he was hardly a foot away from the tree, a hidden door opened and a dwarf with a black beard sprang out swinging a sword. "Hey, I'm not here to hurt you! We're from another world!" Jack dodged the attack and burst out.
"I don't trust you. You humans are all the same!" the dwarf yelled back, still swinging at Jack. Terra, Aqua, and Lea quickly surround him with raised Keyblades as Jack summoned his own.
"Now, we are not here to hurt you. If we were, you'd be dead. We're looking for High King Peter or Aslan. Have you seen them?" he calmly explained. The dwarf slowly lowered his sword and stared at them with a weird expression.
"You better come inside." he said softly as he turned and walked back into the tree. Jack glanced at his companions and followed in after him.
Inside the tree was a small little fireplace with a table in the middle of a small room. One little area had been made a kitchen, and a door led off to what Jack assumed was the bedroom. A badger walked up to them. "More of them? What have you found this time, Nikabrik? he spoke.
You would think that Jack and the others would be shocked to see a badger talk, but after how many worlds they had all seen, they were hardly surprised.
"We are Keybladers. Master Yen Sid told us that Narnia was in dire need of aid, so me and my friends, and Lea("Hey!"), came to offer help. Where can we find King Peter and/or Aslan?" he asked the badger. The dwarf calmly walked in and sat at the table.
"You're Keybladers, huh? Don't look like much." he muttered. The badger hushed him.
"You really don't know? It has been a thousand years since Peter and his siblings disappeared from this land. Aslan disappeared before that. If you are the Keybladers of old, then you are a millennium too late." he explained.
"Oh my gosh…." muttered Aqua. Terra sighed and looked to Jack like "What now?" Jack was about to speak when a young man with black hair burst into the room, trying to bolt for the door. Nikabrik dashed in his way with his sword in hand. Jack watched in confusion. The young man picked up a fire-poker and tried to block Nikabrik's swings.
"ENOUGH, NIKABRIK! Or do I have to sit on your head again?" the badger yelled warningly. Nikabrik backed off and sighed.
"Wait, you….you are Narnians, aren't you?" the young man asked.
"Oh, a Telmarine and an observant one." the dwarf muttered as he returned to his seat. The young man glanced at Jack and the others. The badger put a bowl of soup in front of the boy. The dwarf looked at him in irritation.
"Since when have we been a boarding house for Telmarine soldiers?" he demanded. The boy stood up.
"I am not a soldier. I am Prince Caspian." he told them.
I'm not sure about this chapter. I'm hoping I can do the Prince Caspian story justice. Let me know how it is, let me now if you agree or disagree with what I talked about before the chapter, and please vote on my poll. I'm out, see ya!
