I been wanting to write something like this since I'm a current and always have been of Nightmare Before Christmas as a child. Then there is the fact I had a hard time thinking who the nest New Sailor Samhain should be. So I ended up picking Allen over Wendy since she already had a purpose so it was Allen's turn at fate's wheel. I am retracting what I said about Xeikm not answering me since I may have offended him. I just never knew it would turn out like it did so don't forget to read and review when done!
Going to the other worlds that were on a list of targeted 2nd generation Sailors was something not all the gang agreed on. Since Percy had plans of going to resort with Uncle Squall and all their parents for New Years. Maybe fit in some date time with Mina didn't end with him or her needing to do their duty as Sailors. That was all shot down when he had his manhood threaten by both his sister and girlfriend it seemed. So he ended up being 'forced' to where a polymorph item that would change their forms in different environments. Since they were going to worlds that had living beings that didn't always come in a human form.
Giving Xavier a short amount of time to visit with his birthfather in the recovery section of ICU unit of a familiar hospital. Kei under went under an experimental surgery to have his original heart placed back in his chest. That would be a success or failure once the tubes would be taken out of his chest when time called for it. For now he just tried to have a conversation with Xavier as he wove in and out of consciousness.
"Did I make it?" Grace asked as she walked into the room.
"Hello pretty lady and her twin." Drugged Kei waved.
"That got him on the good stuff." Xavier pointed to the IVs drips.
Grace happily walked into the room recalling how she met Kei that night during a costume party that changed her life. She placed a potted antique rose she grew and cared for herself near Kei's bed on a nightstand.
"So you still with that hunky Alexander boy?" He question made Xavier blush.
"Ye… Yeah," Xavier tried to speak. "We just got done moving from his parents place to on campus housing."
"Awww, how touching…"Grace faced him.
"Thanks, but I kept telling him I comfortable where we're leaving now." Xavier tried to fight his over whelming joy.
Before she could further answer Lex walked out of the room's bathroom fastening his pants relieved he got to go. Saying they were going to need an air freshener after what he just put the bathroom through. Joining Xavier near his seat asking what he had missed before he went running to use the bathroom.
"Just I asking what you new pad is like…" Grace wanted to be invited over.
"A town house located near the campus' administration building that dad barely uses even if he is on the School Board." Lex explained.
"We agreed to not move fully into until the end of our freshman year."
A kissed was exchanged between them before one reminded the other they had to be somewhere in a few hours. So after a few good-byes were exchanged between them as a drugged Kei called them all evil spirits. Grace saw them both off to the elevator at the end of the hall near the vending machines and pay phones. Promising her they come back to visit her and drugged up Kei who whenever they get back.
"Why a giant pink bubble?" New Super Sailor Saturn asked through his complaints.
"This is why you get your own bubble," Sailor Space addressed him. "So stop with noise already."
Being stuck with whole cluster of teens was something Space could handle when it came to traveling the known universe. Came to a single teenager whose sarcastic tongue wouldn't start talking was making it hard for her. So sealing him in his own bubble during the long trip made it easy on the women's nerves. She just wished that she had enough energy to block out his voice as a natural distraction did that already. In the form of Blue Mage expressing his feeling about missing out about an important event.
"When you seen 1 Master's Qualification Exams," Keybearer Akane assured him. "You have seen them all."
"And just miss having the little guy by your side." New Super Sailor Jupiter and Neptune added on.
"Knowing Uncle Joseph," New Super Sailor Mercury knew for a fact. "We'll have a recording at home waiting for us to view."
"Don't forget the cyborgs we had to leave behind." New Super Sailor Mars and Spira protested.
"We get it already." The rest of Sailors yelled at them.
"So cut it out already." New Eternal Sailor Moon assured Akane. "What we're doing now is more important."
Another Master's Qualification Exams was taking place for Archer and Diamond after the choice was made. Just this time the audience was minus a few New Sailors, 1 Sorcerer, and anyone else coming with Space. Where they had to miss out on last 2 Keybearers on Earth become what Akane and Xavier were already. Since some of them like Akane and Reks wanted to be there for their blood relatives as means of support.
"Be happy all of you are here since both are planned to meet us on Mountain Olympus." Space answered them all.
"So buck up." Reks tried to change the mood with cheery words.
To only be warned by Space, they were coming to the 1st world covered in a blanket of darkness that just screamed living nightmare. The bubble around them all started to split apart in to individual orbs with pairs in them. Hovering in place for a few seconds before hurling those selves toward the world below. Breaking through the atmosphere as people within the bubbles ready themselves for a harsh impact. Not noticing strong wind currents wrapping around each bubble and gently bringing the spheres to the ground. Where they would pop one by one leaving behind their occupants whose images were changed for them to fit in.
Starting with an Edea and Mina dressed as witches followed by 2 warlocks being Michiko and Fuu and Pacifica as a geisha rag doll. Then came 2 vampires being Edea and James with 2 succubuses being Percy and Raine. Not like neko Edea, Naga Maxi, and Werewolf Nobara liked what they were turned into. Having attention turned toward Demon Hunter Xavier and Oni looking Lex made a matching set. As a Good Winged looking Reks stood beside their guest being Wendy, who tried not to laugh at what all looked like.
"Thanks for the landing," Michiko stepped forward. "Will you show us where we need to go?"
"Welcomed and this way." She fought her urge.
Before they went on Michiko turned to the teens telling them this short journey they were on wasn't one of fun. They were here to learn while tracking down a foe possibly targeting unawake Sailors starting with Halloween Town. So off they went following Wendy to a black brick road that led to town that blond girl once called home.
"It hasn't changed since I left minus the Boogie brats." Wendy looks upon the sight of the skyline.
"Who would that be since we're now familiar with this world?" Maxi rudely asked.
"Lock, Shock, and Barrel," Michiko remembers them. "Oogie Boogie's underlings I hope have been discipline."
"How bad do a few kids have to be to that severally punished?" Mina asked herself.
Percy didn't help the situation by screaming as he ducked in cover behind Lex and Reks AGAIN when ghosts popped out of nowhere. Wendy for the first time in her life smiled at the familiar sight of dancing spirits before her. Everyone else expect Percy were greeted by the ghosts before moving further down the dimly lit path. A small parade of Ghouls to goblins leapt around chanting Halloween again and again that the gang followed. Where a few monsters tried flirting with some of monstrous teens when they passed them. The only one among in the gang avoid was Xavier because of the form his polymorph item choose for him.
Into the town with a forever night sky and hunted looking buildings adding to horror movie feeling that left some with chills. So up went some of the teen's guards as others just enjoyed their surroundings. Trying to ignore the endless amount of screams coming from Percy hiding behind Lex and Reks. Since the pinked hair boy was being creped out by every little thing scaring the freak from him. Only to get worst when a few blood suckers decided to approach them.
"WENDY!" 3 vampires called to the blonde by name, "Positively ghastly to see you darling."
She returned their words of kindness leaving the others to turning toward Percy reminding him where they were. Not like it helped as he started to recall a story Uncle Demyx told him about first coming here. Asking Michiko and Reks if they could leave now since he did not like the place he had taken them too. To only be told he was lucky they weren't calling him or Mina a monster because of certain magical jewelry.
"Does your father know your back?" One asked.
"Please say for good this time." Another quietly suggested.
The 3rd reminded the other two they had to get going for some reason that they did leaving Wendy and her 'friends'. Making the gang startup them search once more with Wendy leading the way further into town. She pointed out the sites she and Allen used to play around on as children to anyone willing to listen. Before they stopped in front of a monstrous fountain seeping polluted water when a familiar face showed. His white hair was terribly shortened and the scar over his right eye had expended further over his face. Didn't mean his matter of dress or hair style had changed since his still wore pieces of a suit without the jacket, and polished, black, boots. In one of his arms he carried aged sack filled with materials Sally sent him out to gather.
"Wendy your back…with friends." Was all Allen could muster from his lips.
"What are you doing here?" Wendy couldn't believe why he was here. "What happen to you?"
Everybody else who last saw Allen was when he left with Mystic Circus months ago when Siren problem solved itself out. It was Reks who stepped up when he noticed a usual tie clip pinned to Allen's red tie. The grinning pumpkin wrapped in a transparent, rounded, crystal with an upside down S hanging from the bottom. That brought up a question that pulled Michiko's interest toward the conversation.
"I hate this form…" Xenon disliked being a harpy.
"How many times must I tell you that disguise magic chooses for your form," Lazxyl explained the process. "Not the other way around."
Before Xenon could further complain or whine about half-bird/half-mortal human form she had been placed in. Her beck like mouth was shut with a clamp curse that activated with phrase of a single word from Lazxyl's lips. Leaving the Fallen Winged looking Lazxyl to look over the data about this world and it Sailors. He cursed himself about not having time to fully get the needed information he needed for their search. So he was working with what he got in certain numbers of worlds starting with Halloween Town.
"Please let us find our prince and Sailor…" He prayed.
His healing wound he had gotten when he failed to approach Xion, Mizuki, and Batolli back on Earth ached. This made his turn off his holo-screen when he showed pictures of Pumpkin King and Sailor Samhain beside Allen. As he tended to his bandaged over waist refusing any help from the silent Xenon. When he hands lay on the bandages fresh blood soaked his leather gloves as the pain worsen.
Damn it to high water…" He practically screamed.
This got him whacked outside his head by Xenon with her Water Bell pretty hard for using water in bad way. Like he cared as he unsealed her mouth allowing her using a form of music magic on him. The soft tone came from the ringing of the Water Bell that seemed to soothe Lazxyl's pain. Would spread out from their hiding place in some abandon building they were using with the town. The tone didn't agree with the townspeople when it reached their ears as he went on playing. A minor uproar took place among them since the tune bothered them since it wasn't a dark and haunting melody.
Didn't seem to annoy a member of the disguised gang who hummed the tune as learning of 15 year old Allen Walker being the next Sailor Samhain. Being a reason why he returned home shook everyone to their core. Since a guess Diamond made about a dormant star seed being in Allen was true. That kept them all silent as they walked to the gated in estate of Pumpkin King and his bride. When they gazed beyond the gate into the scene that would be opened for them by Allen or Wendy. A grim looking hillside with a multi-level building on top of it with long stairwell leading to the front door. Wasn't really welcoming to the visitors following both Allen and Wendy.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Wendy repeated her question toward Allen.
"And tell you…" Allen was cut off.
Right out of nowhere a woman who looked like she was sown together waved to them from a kneeling position. Who was tending to a garden of brightly colored plants that lived the landscape up. She ended up rising from her place on the ground excited over her son bringing friends home. As a ghostly looking dog holding a hand shovel in his mouth floated near her side appeared by her side.
"It's been so long since we've had guests over," She happily looked each everyone of them over. "You all have to tell me who you are?"
All stared at each other feeling odd about not being who this woman thought she was as Michiko stepped up. This was where the names Sally for woman made of rags and Zero for Ghostly dog was given. It seemed to put bigger smile on this Sally's face as Michiko introduced each one of Allen's friends behind her. That ended with Wendy being tightly hugged by woman made of fabric while Zero flew around everyone.
"Jack will be so glad your back our little Weather Witch," Sally released Wendy. "Allen did you gather everything on my list?"
"Couldn't find those berry things…sorry." He hands over the bag.
Not like Sally was bothered when she took hold of it inviting each one of them inside knowing Michiko's visit here wasn't one of fun. So she would guide them from the front gate up on to the long stairwell that led to the wooden front door. Whole time Sally had a 1-side chatted about this and that with Michiko at the head of the group. Michiko couldn't stop looking into the gate they all left behind as something didn't feel right. Even through what she felt was a minor flicker of magical pulse or flow that made her head turn.
Not knowing that a cloaking spell was quickly casted over someone hiding on the other side of the gate. That someone was a harpy Xenon clenching her Water Bell in her clawed hands she could break it. So she swallowed her fear and twirled 1 of her claws on the Bell's blue stone saying something about a copy. That with the moisture in the air was drawn before Xenon as it formed a water clone of her in appearance. Where she handed over the items he used to created it giving it a simple order to go fetch Allen.
"Don't mess up and hurry since we need to get back to Lazxyl." Xenon sent the copy off.
The copy found itself slipping through the locked gate without eve opening it leaving behind a water-based slime. Where she kept walking toward path that would lead to the stair well where its target was now. At the moment the target or Allen was left to entertain the guests by Sally and Michiko until they get back. Since the silvered haired woman needed to visited with jack over a matter that scared Sally.
"So…um…where do we start?" Allen asked as he looked to Wendy for help.
Being put on the spot was never Allen's strong suit since he was still coming to grips with being a whole Sailor and all. So Wendy, who was feeling out of place since she felt like an outsider in a place she, called her own once. Just before she suggested they get showed around first floor the screaming door bell sounded twice. Making Wendy want to answer quickly as she ran off not hearing Kendra's and Edea's warnings. Both girls before the screaming door bell sounded got these strange sensations from the direction of front door. Putting everyone except Allen and Wendy on alert since Kendra had Alex's 6th sense and Edea shared Cloud's connection to water.
"Guys it's Halloween Town," Wendy blew the warning off. "Creepy vibes is part of the environment."
As she laid her left hand on the door knob that she would twist as she turned her back to the group water leaked. In through the bottom of the opening door as Wendy came face to face with female harpy using the name Neon. In one of her feathered claws was the Water Bell giving off a dull glow as water seeped from her feet.
"I'm new this world and thought I make friends starting with the people that live I this house." Neon wanted to walk in.
"Sorry but we're not in the mood for strangers." Wendy wanted her gone.
"Then who are them?" She would point behind the blonde.
"People I know." Was all Neon got.
Before Neon's face was confronted by a closed door she held up the bell insisting on coming in as orbs of water appeared. Would rush toward Wendy as a means of removing her from Neon's path so she could walk in. Didn't really happen when Xavier grabbed Wendy and pulled her behind him so he took the force of the attack. Didn't mean he had to be drenched to his bone as something on his left arm glowed. This grey scale colored armor shoulder pads light wrapped around his form when the water hit. When the light cleared away from Xavier's form he wore gray and white Keyblade Armor with Wendy under him. She knocked on the mental woven chest plate quite impressed with how he looks laying over her.
To be reminded who wanted to walk into the building as she called herself Chopped Liver for being forgotten. Not like her fake pouting act worked on anyone in the room who hadn't morphed into their Sailor, or Keybearer form. The 1st to step up wasn't a very happy New Super Sailor Uranus using his Slither Shards move. That blasted her out the of door way with New Sailors following behind her while allowing others' to join Xavier's side.
"Seems you finally got your knight in shining amour." Akane had to joke.
"Meaning his Armor decided to activate." Key Warrior helped Xavier up.
Allen tried not to be bothered by Akane's joke that Wendy got as she was tended to by Allen rather quickly. Where she had to personally tell him everything was alright with her other than being slightly soaked. As she would be placed in to her feet if it wasn't for her strained right ankle that placed into Allen's arms. Making his face redden from the close contact of just having her near as his body started to re-act. Not noticing the armor removing itself from Xavier form returning to its armor shoulder pad.
"I can't wait to do that." Akane hugged the arm that held her armor shoulder pad.
"Now I know how a canned food feels." Was an all Xavier had to say.
Before he could further do anything he was silenced by the appearance of the real Xenon asking if she could join. She ended up stepping forward asking if they were done so she could be alone with Allen. He automatically ended up releasing Wendy that allowed his body to come down enough for him to face Xenon. Who spoke of how his picture in their data didn't do him justice since his appearance had changed so quickly. Without the use of her Water Bell summoned rectangular prison of water around his form beside her. She called Water Prison while placing 1 of her pointer fingers to her lips warning them to be quiet.
"You call your friends away from my clone or call the adults into the room," Xenon was ready to end Allen's life. "I drown him."
The water she was using was from this world so the pullulated factor would win in her favor it he breathed in. since at the moment he was trying to hold his breath within the confined space isolating him from the others. Who were begging for him to be released since the pressure the watery cell had would end him.
"Do we really have to agree with her?" Akane asked. "Because killing him seems pointless."
"We don't and we lose him." Key Warrior summed up they were going through.
"Just let him go…PLEASE!" Wendy stands the site of Allen.
Xavier grew quiet he saw a spark of light flicker in and out of the pumpkin tie clip Allen was had been wearing. So he ended up stepping backward when the spark became a Ghostly spirit or 2 that would grow in number. Wrapped themselves around Allen's clothing and scarred up arm changing him into something useful. His clothing becomes fancier version of what he wore with a familiar pumpkin tie clip hanging forms his tie. Instead or crown or tiara on his forehead a mask for his eyes colored white hung around his neck. When he moved his right arm he freaked when it was more mechanical looking limb as he was now a New Sailor Soldier.
Where he found himself swinging his near appendage in slow matter that launched and move called Black Claw. Ripping right through the watery prison with this build up of negative energy like it was a piece of paper. Allowing New Sailor Samhain to land on his feet as back lash of the move brought Xenon down. As the water from the prison spilled over the first floor of the building soaking everything.
"These rocks Akane summoned her Keyblade to hand. "So let's end this party." She was going to use Warming Heart move. Had to do with a single heart appearing before her Keyblade in an orange light follow by flames. That would move with its caster as he started to slowly grow in size.
"Don't forget us." Key Warrior answered with a fiery Keyblade. "Oil of the Sea Serpent." He launched this old base attack on to Xenon's form. That coated her body and clothes where she fell after New Sailor Samhain's attack.
That would be hit by Akane's move that kept on moving even after it set the oil soaked Xenon aflame rather quickly. Out the door the move went as Xenon's form was swallowed by the flames from the attack. Would burn away her brown and white feathers allow with the rest of her bird like form she dismissed with her watery gift. Calling their attempts to burn her alive pathetic before help in form New Sailors appeared.
"This is where I said goodbye." She blew a watery kiss to New Sailor Samhain.
"Please stay gone since you trashed my home." New Sailor Samhain yelled at her.
She turned into a puddle of evaporating water dodging New Eternal Sailor Moon's White Flash completely. Leaving behind a watery mess as others started to ask questions about what happen while they were gone. So the answers were pretty hard to come from everyone since explaining why a room was drenched, and the fact Allen was New Sailor Samhain now.
Confessing one's heart to another was for hard for anyone who known their secret crush as an adopted sibling. Since Allen with a bloody nose from stress and tension was confessing his suppressed feelings to Wendy. Who would agree with him as she clogged up his nose with a tissue returning his feelings with her own. If he wasn't currently leaking blood from his nostrils would have gotten a kiss from her.
"I really wish I had my camera." Akane wanted to capture this moment.
"Didn't you hear me before?" Fuu asked her.
They started to spat how a memory re-calling magic was different from picture taking since both hadn't come to agreement. Other fights were ending like one between Xavier and Lex for the stunt Xavier pulled save Wendy. Then there was one usual one between Edea and Raine just disagreeing when trying to agree. So they tried to kill each other some leaving Xavier to confess on empty handed he felt without his wolves. To Lex, who just kissed him gently on his lips before telling him next to come up with a better plan. That led to him tapping on Xavier's armor shoulder pad asking if he could have one of his own.
"Sorry since last time I checked," Xavier was glad Lex was still in one piece. "You had to be a Keybearer to use one of these."
"As long as it kept you alive Xav." Lex couldn't image his life with the blond.
That he embrace leaving Michiko to step up toward Allen and Wendy needing to talk to them both about something. She ended up asking them how they came to this world at such a young age those many years ago. Wendy shrugged as she walked away thinking maybe it was time to leave Allen alone with Michiko. Allowing him to hold the tissue clogging the blood from his nose himself promising to come back.
"You better hold the name of New Sailor Samhain to heart," Michiko words pierced Allen. "Since being a Sailor Solider not a child's game."
"I hope he will since I welcome you to the team." Reks patted his back.
The tension was further relieved when the famous Pumpkin King made showed over joyed as he that his 'son' became a Sailor. That got him also pulled into a hug from a scared Sally, who worried he hurt himself. Not like Jack cared since Allen getting hurt just showed he wasn't trying hard enough to in battle against the foe.
"Now I wish I had a camera with me." Akane sighed.
Fuu ended up giving up on their fight asking if they could leave now since he was getting tire of this world anyway. That was something everyone except Xavier and Lex agreed to as Michiko surrounded them all. In familiar pink bubbles leaving a teleportation charm for Wendy to use to return to Earth when she wanted. Where she saw the people she called friends fade from her line of sight as she watched them
"You should have gone," Sally joined her side. "Since you didn't seem ready to leave them."
Wendy just turned on her heeled sandaled feet as called out to Allen with question about the Dr. Finkelstein's newest creation. She remembered seeing some blonde haired woman pushing his wheelchair around. That wouldn't get her the answer she was looking for as on other half the galaxy an Exam was ending. 2 Keybearers, who spent the better part of their lives training for the moment, were now Masters. Both somewhat displeased their friends weren't there to watch the Exam take place.
Archer use of non-elemental magic in attack kind of way with him favoring his still healing limb. That almost got him defeated by Diamond whose battle style with on Keyblade was like his father's. Didn't' mean both come up with their own defensive ways that impressed the judges who watched. As the battle between them lasted longer than the one the between Xavier and Akane. It just when it ended Archer needed to return to the infirmary because he nasty hit on his head. That is where he came face to face with someone was still against his relationship with Maxi.
"Don't worry I'm not here to harm something…one my son cares about," Zexion took a seat. "Just want to make myself clear about something."
Zexion ended up sharing his feelings about he felt how his smartest son repeatedly fell for bad seed within group. Some of those were angry toward what he put Maxi through when he left for reform school, and when he taken by Ceria. The others were relief he wasn't treating Maxi like the dirt under his heels anymore. As the last filtered out to acceptance of the Maxi's engagement to allowing Archer to move in.
"I would like you two to wait at least after collage to marry and instead of moving in now," Zexion laid a few terms down. "You're going to move in with Lex and Xavier at the end of their freshman year, got it?"
"Do you hate me that much?" Archer had to ask.
"I prefer Maxi was with someone like Xavier since Lex seems to tolerate him." Zexion just stared at him.
"Meaning…" Archer shrugged.
This conversation would be cut short when flash from Joseph's camera went off followed by Kairi wanting to see her son.
END!
On to the next chapter, Seems when they move on to the next world being world of Olympus they all stepped into a problem. It has to do with a matter of the heart for the child of Hercules and his secret crush burning in the shadows. As Lazxyl's wound only gets physical worst after arriving with Xenon.
