Chapter 43: Time Skips
"So tell us," Sora said to Harper, "what are you doing?"
"It is apparent you still don't know," Harper said, "but do you not know that I can manipulate time."
WHIMP
Sora rolled out of the way of Aqua Slicers' tail.
"What is going on!" Sora yelled.
"That means, I can fast forward through certain bits of it that I don't like." Harper's voice said from behind. "And when I do it, you have no recollection of anything that you have done. But I, on the other hand, do." Harper swung his swords at Sora, but the Keyblader jumped forward and parried the swipes. "This move is meant as a distraction of sorts. But I can only do it for a time. But the times I have done it, I normally win."
WHIMP
Sora was sent tumbling up, he regained himself as he looked down and saw that Donald had been thrown at him.
"WAAK!" Donald slammed head first right into Sora's chest. After the initial tumbling they managed to regain themselves.
"Any idea how we're going to deal with that time skip thing?" Sora asked.
"I don't know, Time magic isn't one of my strengths. I know spells like Stop and Haste, but that other kind of stuff is too advanced, only wizards like Yen Sid knows how they work."
"So you don't have any ideas?" Sora asked hopefully.
"Maybe, but it might be risky," Donald said doubting what he had thought of.
"Well, I don't think we have any other option, because no one has any idea what's going on. And at this rate-"
WHIMP
"-we might-" Sora looked around, he saw that he was lying on the ground, some miles from where the ship was. "Oh come on!" Sora jumped up and slammed his Keyblades on the ground in frustration.
"You have a temper, don't you?" Harper said from behind.
"You are really becoming annoying, you know that?" Sora held up his Keyblades.
"Now now Sora, I'm not much of a fighter, but that doesn't mean I still can't hurt you." Harper smiled.
He then raised his hand and snapped his fingers.
WHIMP
Sora looked around, he was surrounded by darkness.
"Where am I?" he asked.
"Tell me Sora, do you believe yourself to be a hero?" Harper's voice rang.
"Where are you?" the Keyblader asked, he also noticed that he was no longer in his mermaid form.
"Answer the question."
Sora hesitated, "I've saved a lot of people."
"Really?" Harper asked, as if in surprise. "Did you help out here?"
WHIMP
"What?" Sora looked around, he saw an orange sky, a peaceful town, and trains. "Twilight Town? Why am I here?" he turned around and saw something terrible. "NO!"
Tom threw a punch at Aszorz, but the shadowy assassin dodged it and sliced at Tom, sending him up. The images stopped
"That doesn't seem very 'helpful' to me Sora."
"I wasn't myself." Sora said sternly. "And you know that if you're showing me this!"
"This is true, you were under the influences of the Incomplete Nobody leader, Namine, The Memory Witch. But that form you used," the surrounds fast forwarded, he was now fighting Kairi "the Anti-Form as you dubbed it, does come from you. That is the flaw of those garbs Yen Sid gave you, they may also bring out your hatred and manifest it into a physical state." The scene changed again. But to the Beast's Castle, where Sora first used the Anti-Form.
Anti-Sora rushed at the Heartless and sliced them all to pieces.
"Sora?" Goofy asked. "What happened? I thought we were going to do Valor?"
"What kind of form is that?" Donald asked, both unaware of what the threat Sora now was.
Anti-Sora turned to his friends, he knew they were, but he wanted them dead. It was lucky for them that the Drive ran out and Sora reverted.
Sora didn't want to recall that. When he went into that form, he had a dull sense of awareness. All he knew is that he wanted to avoid that Drive at all cost and went into Drives when he had too.
"Tell me Sora," Harper's voice rang "is that what a hero does?"
"That won't happen to me, not anymore." Sora brought up his hands and opened them, in one hand a ball of light appeared, and in the other, a ball of darkness. "I have better control."
"Really? Well, what if what you felt was real? What if you do want to maim them all?"
"I would never do that!" Sora yelled out, anger boiling over, the orbs in his hands exploded out of existence. "I would never do that!"
"Really, well you wouldn't be the first Keyblader to lose sight of what they once held dear and go around killing people. After all. They say that the Keyblade would bring either salvation, or damnation."
"That's something I would never do." he said, a little bit more silently then before.
"Really? Willing to place a wager on that?"
WHIMP
Sora now stood in front of the Old Mansion in Twilight Town, outside the gates.
"What if you do get those urges?"
Tom was thrown high into the air on the other side of the wall, Sora jumped up and spun the Keyblades as he slammed then down right into his back.
"I don't know what this is, but it's all a lie!"
WHIMP
"I tell no lies Sora, or Roxas, or Alphma, depending on whatever you want, but what you are seeing is in future."
Sora looked straight ahead. What he saw shocked him.
Riku leaned against the wall, gasping for breath while clutching his chest, blood pouring from the large, and serious wound.
He slid down, making various gurgling noises, Sora saw that there was large gash in the wall behind him, blood trailed where he slid down.
"Riku. . ." he heard a voice say in a small, frightened tone.
"R-Riku. . ." Sora then violently shook his head. This, this can't be true. Riku can't. . . he can't. . . just. . .die. "No. This is not real." the world around him vanished into darkness. "I'll give you me hitting Tom, but knowing him, we got into another fight and it got out of hand, not the first time it happened. As for Riku, you never showed me who did it. And if you want me to assume that I do it, you must be kidding." the Keyblader then turned his head to the sky "And I would like it if you stop trying to screw with my head!" he then summoned his Keyblades and dashed forward and swung.
The world wavered around him, back into the world of Atlantica, Sora in his mermaid form with Keyblades out and Harper behind him. Harper fell to his knees.
"Very interesting Sora," the Soul Barren said. "It would seem that you no longer wish to listen to reason." He stumbled up and turned to Sora. "I've told you this before Sora: What you have seen will come to pass. There is no stopping it."
"That's it." Sora pointed View of Dawn at Harper, "I've had enough of you, and if I were you I'd get out of here."
"Very well Sora." Harper said "but I do not lie about what I've told and showed you." and without further word, Harper swirled away back to where ever it was his base was.
Sora just floated there, seething in anger.
"I'll make sure that these things never happen." he said. After calming down he dispelled the Keyblades and swam forward, but not before spotting something on the ground. He reached down and pulled a summon charm out of the sand.
The summon had a picture of a gun that once belonged to a certain Nobody.
Sora held the charm and swam for the ship.
KHKHKHKHKH
When Sora got to the Gummi Ship, he had found that the lesser Soul Barren had been cleared out and that the ship had been fixed. They got the ship out of the world for the next one. They asked Sora what had happened, but he just went to his room, he said that he didn't want to talk to anyone.
Kairi knew better though.
Knock-Knock
"Sora?" she asked. She got no reply. "Sora?" still no response. "I'm coming in, like it or not." Kairi reached down for the lock, knowing Sora always forgot to lock the door, and opened the door.
She looked inside and saw Sora lying on his bed looking through the skylight at the stars. "Hey Sora," she said.
"Hey Kai," he replied, not looking back at her.
"So," she said, sitting down "what's wrong?"
"Nothing."
"You know I know you better then that, I can tell what's wrong, so spill." Sora heavily sighed and sat up.
"I met up with Harper back in Atlantica." he looked down while saying this.
"And?" Kairi asked. She had heard about Harper, the time using Soul Barren of Luxord. "What about him?"
Now for the next charm! The Snipe Charm! This allows you to put in a Original Character (OC).
The summon appeared in Chapter Eight of this story.
