Arc 4 - Chapter 1: Great! Really!
(Unknown Forest: Manmade House)
"Calm down." I said to Aqua, who is anything but calm at the moment. And I was about to continue when I had to forcibly draw out my black saber to cut down a chunk of ice about to outright hit me in the face.
"How dare you take advantage of me! I can't get married anymore!" Aqua begins to tear up at the thought of losing her purity to a stranger. She felt so soil and dirty.
"Uh, you do realize, that you're still wearing clothes, right?" I point this out as I replace my saber back into its scabbard, causing Aqua to pause for a moment.
Aqua remove the blanket without any hesitation and true enough. She still wearing her clothes, even her own boots. Nonetheless, this calmed Aqua's racing heart before her face turns red again, then pointing at the stranger, "Then what do you mean by taking responsibility?!"
"Well, for one. I'm the one that caused you to be in a mini-coma for the past few days and also brought you into this world by accident." I explain what I meant by taking responsibility to Aqua, who just realize her surroundings.
"Wait, that rainbow light was you?" Aqua looked at me in disbelief.
"More like I was inside the rainbow light and crashed into you by accident, then drag you along with me. If you want, I can send you back?" I offer Aqua, who pale instantly as she pulls the blanket over herself.
"NO! DON'T SEND ME BACK!" Aqua shout with absolute terror.
"Okay, I won't." I raise my hands up, not that Aqua can see it; nevertheless, I guess that besides going through her memories. I didn't check her emotional state while going through them. "Anyway, since you're no longer there. Do you have any plans?" I pray that Aqua doesn't request me to go save her friends or whatever, because I'm pretty sure I have no way to find them unless Aqua has something that tied to that world for the [Dream-Traversing Technique] to lock onto. 'Even then, I rather not go out and help random people if I can help it. Not to mention, this goes against my [Dao of Chaos] if I end up helping everyone... or does it? Now, this gives me an idea...'
"Uh, if it's not much trouble to ask to stick around here?" Aqua lowers the blanket from her head and get a better look at the person that rescued her from the Realm of Darkness. Where she has no idea how long she been stuck in there. All she knows, that being in the Realm of Darkness is so cold and filled with such negative. Aqua is surprised she hasn't been turned into a Heartless from having her heart consumed by darkness, yet she still remains in the light. Not to mention, she mostly defenseless against the force of darkness without her [Keyblade] and armor during her time in the Realm of Darkness.
"I won't mind really, but uh, there are a few problems staying here." I glance out the window on Aqua's left, where it's afternoon and the sunlight is enough to shine down, for Aqua and myself to see multiple zombies wandering around the place. On the ground are countless headless bodies, with the appearance belong to zombies and multiple heads on the ground as well, with the look of hungry on those heads' faces.
"What kind of world is this?" Aqua asks in horror, to see so many dead bodies and these things that look so close to humans, but completely different and so wrong.
"Well, I haven't found out yet, but I have to say this world has already entered a zombie apocalypse phrase. Those are zombies down there. Are reanimation of a corpse. I have no idea if these zombies came to be due to a virus or created by someone that has the ability to bring the dead back to life." I look at the zombies, "Well, partially back to life. Honestly, I'm debating to just leave this world for another. Since this world is pretty much doom." And by that, I mean that I may end up getting the urge to use the [Dao of Chaos] to see if I can make the zombie more interesting. As a way to cause so much chaos, the [Dao Heart] will give me an insight into a new ability within a day.
"Is there any way we can save these poor people?" Aqua asks with a hint of hope and concern. But, she highly doubts anything she learns up to now could prepare her for this kind of world.
"Well, pretty sure we can technically save them by killing them as a way to send their spirits back to the afterlife, but from what I have found while you were asleep at the time. These zombies are not alive at all and just mindless, with the sole instinct of devouring the living." I said to Aqua, as this is true due to using the [Magical Card: Scanner]. Boy, did I find myself glad for making this [Magical Card] at the beginning before starting off my journey to the multiverse. "Besides, we're not going to stay here for long and don't even think about trying to save this world. There are some worlds that naturally coming to an end. Trying to save it, will just bring chaos into the world." I pause for a moment, which Aqua picks up right away. "Actually..." I give Aqua a smile.
"Whatever you're thinking. No." Aqua may not have known this man for long, but she has met people in the past similar to the way the man is acting.
"I didn't even tell you what my plan is, though." I raise an eyebrow with a grin on my face, where I'm amused that Aqua already acting strictly right away as if she can sense I'm about to cause chaos.
"Whatever it is, it can't be good with the way you're grinning." Aqua narrows her eyes at me, daring me to argue with her and that's bad.
"Did anyone tell you, that you look beautiful when you're trying to act so strict?" I continue to grin, and I wasn't disappointed to see Aqua's face turn red once again.
"Wh-What?!" Aqua is caught off guard, not expecting this to happen.
"Even with your face red makes you adorable." I just made Aqua's face so red, that I'm expecting, her head to produce some steam soon. "By the way, are you single?" I know I'm going in fast, but with Aqua's romantic sense. I need to do so before someone else gets their hands on her. And I rather take my chance now than wait for another girl, where there is a high chance of that next girl be messed up in the head or a fetish that downright crossing too many lines for my comfort. At the very least with Aqua. I don't mind her flaws.
"We-We're having a serious conversation here! And you're asking me if I'm single?!" Aqua is trying to get back to the main topic of the world, but here she is, being asked out by the man that brought her out of the Realm of Darkness and into this messed up world filled with these so-called zombies.
"But, this is serious. For me at least, it's pretty lonely traveling the multiverse alone. So, yeah. I'm asking if you're single or not. So are you?" I can't stop grinning at the way Aqua is acting and I had no idea how much fun is to tease Aqua. Now, if only Zero was like Aqua, then I would gladly accept her, even if she did rape me in my sleep. Fleur is a no go with that fetish of hers.
"I-I... Uh." Aqua is no longer composure and having hard thinking straight, then Aqua glance at the man's eyes and regret it instantly, where she can see the sincerity in them, that he truly wants to have a romantic relationship with her. This is going all too far for Aqua, that she doesn't know if she should accept and maybe experience what a girl being in love is like or not. If not, Aqua won't know how long until she finds someone who is willing to be with her.
'Time to hit it while it's hot.' I unclip the black saber off my waist and place it on the bed, then I took a few steps forward to Aqua, who yelped when she watches me coming closer to her while she trying to move back, but all she did is having her back against the wall.
"I-" Aqua opens her mouth to say something before she was cut off, as the man places his right hand against the wall next to the left side of her head and leaning closer to her face, to the point Aqua wonder if he is going to kiss her.
"Will you be my lover?" I ask softly, as I look directly into Aqua's eyes, that I really do want to be with her. After all, I rather not miss this chance to be with a girl that decent and doesn't have any fetish whatsoever. As the saying goes, the third time is the charm and I'm not going to risk my chance with the future girls after Aqua.
Aqua gulp, wondering how did everything happen so quickly, "I-" Once again, she was cut off as her entire body went stiff, as the man uses his free hand to touch her right cheek.
"If you be with me, I shall give you all my love and make you a happy woman. I'll give you my trust, my heart, my life. And hopefully, you do the same for me." I said the first thing that came to my head, 'Pretty sure if I said these words to some other girls. I think they may laugh at me or outright look at me with disdain or something.' But, lucky for me. Aqua isn't some other girl as her face still red and a brief [Mind-Reading], to say that Aqua is seriously considering this instead of thinking of a way to let me down easy.
"I-" Aqua pause for a moment, to see if the man would cut her off, much to her relief. He didn't, which made it worse for her now that she thinks about it. This is the moment if she accepts his love confession to her and going by the words he just said. Aqua can say for sure, that he meant being together forever as in marriage. A concept she would never think about with all the training and everything else she had to focus on than worry about being in love while growing up to become a [Keyblade Master]. "I... I'm willing." Aqua closes her eyes, expecting to be kissed by the man that made her heart beats so fast and making her feel like having butterflies in her stomach.
Looking at the closed eyes Aqua, who tilt her chin up, where I can guess she waiting for me to kiss on the lip and I didn't bother to hesitate. But, to make sure to make this whole thing magical. I use both [Magical Cards: Healing & Cleaning] with [Spell Fomations] into this kiss, which will cause the kiss to be something more special.
Aqua felt another lip against her own, sending warmth throughout her entire body and making her feel so peaceful. At this point, Aqua finds herself happy that she accepted this random stranger to be her partner for life, even if this is so sudden and quick, instead of building their relationship up for a few years as she read in the books in the past about love relationship. But, for this moment, she not Aqua, the former [Keyblade] wielder. But, Aqua, a girl who found love. Also, regaining back hope she no longer alone and finally realizes she will never have to return back to the Realm of Darkness ever again.
I move back a bit, where I can definitely say for sure, that I am one hell of a kisser with look on Aqua's face.
"By the way, I know this is late. But, better now than never. I'm Yume, Yume Chūmon. A [Dream Master Sage]." I introduce myself to Aqua, who willing to be my lover, and revealing what I am. As there is no need to be so secretly with the kind of person like Aqua.
"I'm Aqua, no last name. And a former [Keyblade] wielder." Aqua smile before it dims a bit near the end, then she raises an eyebrow. "A [Dream Master Sage]?" Aqua never heard such a thing, nor did she ever read someone being one.
"Yup, as a [Dream Master Sage]. I can turn the imaginary into reality. Being the master of reality, where reality and fantasy is simply a flip of a coin to me. Having the power to bring intelligent life from nothing." I give a brief info on what the [Dream Master Sage] can do. "So, what is a [Keyblade]?" I need to ask this, because Aqua may wonder if there are other [Keyblade] wielders I've met before if I knew what a [Keyblade] is.
Aqua begins to explain to me what [Keyblade] is and what their purposes are. The gist is, that [Keyblades] have the power to lock and unlock anything, be it doors, chests, or links to the worlds. However, wielding one will cause the wielder to become targets of the force of darkness, such as Heartless, which are creatures that feed on the darkness of people's hearts.
"I see. So when you meant by being a former [Keyblade] wielder. You no longer have one, then?" I know I'm opening an open wound here, but I think there is another way for Aqua to gain back a [Keyblade]. Not the natural way in the Kingdom Hearts series, but an idea where I create one. Sadly, Aqua's memories don't reveal anything related to the creation of the [Keyblade].
"No..." Aqua looks at her hands with eyes filled with sadness. Wonder if she is ever going to hold a [Keyblade] with them ever again.
"Got an idea of how to obtain another one or make one?" I ask Aqua, as I got up from the bed, giving Aqua her the space she needs and grab the black saber off the bed, then clip it back onto my left waist.
"No..." Aqua let out a depressed sigh, realizing her time as a [Keyblade] wielder is pretty much over.
"Hmm. Maybe I can create one for ya." I said to Aqua, who turns her head in my direction so fast, that I expect her to snap her head right off with how fast she turned her head. "Based on the abilities of the [Keyblade] you have told me. I should be able to create something similar or an exact replicate of one. It won't be a true [Keyblade] since its core materials I have no idea what was used to create it, but just letting you know it will be something you can use to defend yourself at the very least." I pause for a moment. "Other than your [Magic]. I guess."
"That's fine." Aqua gives me a smile before she thought about something. "By the way, back to the previous topic. What should we do about this world? I mean, we can't just leave it without trying to help the people overcome this horror." Aqua looks out the window, seeing the zombies wandering nearby still.
"Well, no matter how much we kill. There will be more zombies later on, since the zombies can infect others, turning them into zombies as well. It only needs one bite and a new zombie will come to be." I said to Aqua. "Plus, I'm pretty sure we don't have to do anything in this world since the people in this world should be already researching for a cure to either stop everyone else from being becoming a zombie or bringing the zombie back to life. As in back before they became a zombie."
"Are you sure we can't do anything? I mean you said you can manipulate reality itself. Can't you make a cure right away?" Aqua remembers her lover being this [Dream Master Sage], where he can manipulate reality itself. Something many can't do, even herself is limited to certain elements with her [Magic].
"Sure." I agreed right away, without even thinking about it. Since I know with my help, chaos will occur due to the people may not have finished going through all the trials to either gain salvation or failing, leading to the world ending much sooner.
"Wait!" Aqua just recall why her lover's words from before about helping certain worlds could lead to an unfortunate end.
"Hm?" I stop myself right in time before I cast the [Second Demon Sealing Hex].
"How much harm would this action affect this world?" Aqua asks with a hint of sadness for not being able to truly help the people of this world as she did with the other worlds with Heartless and among other force of darkness. Upon thinking about the Heartless, Aqua quickly asks this as well to her lover, hoping that if Heartless is the main cause for the appearances of zombies, then this changes everything.
"Going by the order of your questions. A lot. Pretty sure, I would have found a Heartless by now, with the description of what one looks like." I knew for sure, there no Heartless in this world. Since I may have accidentally taken Aqua from the Realm of Darkness, but I also have taken her out of the Kingdom Hearts universe as well. Because I know for a fact, that there no zombies in that universe at all. 'Unless Kingdom Hearts 3 or 4, whatever been made since I left, would have them. But, I highly doubt it.'
"Okay, we should just leave then." Aqua feels a bit heartache of not being able to help the people, but since there are no Heartless in this world. Then, as an outsider, it would be more harmful than helpful towards these natives.
"You sure? I can just make a cure and give it some important person with just a snap of my finger. It's really no problem for me." I said to Aqua, while at the same time. I wonder what kind of world this is and the cure I'm planning to make is pretty much me using the [Second Demon Sealing Hex] to make it so many people can 'accidentally' figure the method to create the cure. Multiple versions at that, just in case.
"Yes, I'm sure. So, if you don't have anything else to do. We should head off to another world." Aqua said to her lover while hoping the next world isn't like this one nor does she have any desire of having Heartless in it as well.
"Alright, but you don't want me to first make you a [Keyblade] before we leave?" I ask Aqua, who blinks a few times.
"I forgot about that. And yes, please make one for me." Aqua knows she can rely on her [Magic], but there is a limit to how much [Magic] could help her facing against Heartless without a [Keyblade].
An hour later*
"Okay, please do not lose that." I said to Aqua, where she wields her previous original [Keyblade: Rainfell] with her right hand or at least a replicate closest to being the same one Aqua wield. "Seriously, don't unless you manage to recover or regain back a real [Keyblade], because that thing took me a bit of time to make with all the description you gave me to make it." And by that, I just had to act as it took me a long and much effort to make one then explain to Aqua how I can just recreate her [Keyblade] with almost all of its powers as if it is the original just from her memory alone. "It'll take some research, but it will be a long time before I can actually make a real [Keyblade] for you, Aqua." Hopefully, I can find something in the next few worlds to give me the 'insights' into creating the [Keyblade] via [Spiritual Spells].
"Don't worry, I won't. Thank you, Yume." Aqua hugs her lover, then quickly let go as her stomach begin to have this weird feeling, making Aqua question this feeling if it is love and wonder why her body reacting so differently compare to the past. Since she had hugged others before, but it wasn't the same when she hugged her lover just now.
"Anyway, time for us to go then." I grab Aqua's right hand with my left, causing Aqua's face to turn red once again. Something that's bound to be a common thing with her. Yet, it felt different for Aqua.
"Wh-Wh-Why are you holding my hand?!" Aqua manages to spit words out of her mouth, but didn't try to remove her hand as it feels nice and warm, making her remember the kiss she had with her love. This just made it worse for Aqua, as she can feel her face heating up by the second.
"We need to have physical contact for us to leave this world together and entering the same world as well. Otherwise, we'll end up in two completely different worlds and who knows when we'll reunite with each other." I explain to Aqua why I'm holding her hand, but truthfully, I never have done this before. Taking another person with me while using the [Dream-Traversing Technique], but with having the [Spell Formation] should do the trick and placing down some [Spiritual Spells] for safety purposes. Just in case.
"Oh. Alright." Aqua mumble, while thinking she may have overreacted a bit. Then, Aqua's mouth opens a bit, to see the familiar rainbow light, but this time it's covering her and her lover. Outside the light, Aqua can see the surrounding changing until it's pitch black, giving her the creep as if she back in the Realm of Darkness. Unconsciously, Aqua's left hand tightens her grip around her lover's hand.
A few minutes later*
(Unknown Forest)
"And we're here." I said to Aqua, as the rainbow bubble pop and I've already covered both Aqua and me with [Zero Presence]. Something that turned into a passive thing to do at this point. "Oh, why it had to be a forest again. Hey, a cave with two girls inside a yokai." I thought out loud, as I discovered two familiar female characters thanks to using [Spiritual Sense] upon entering this world. Literally right next to our left, a sealed-up cave, that is actually the belly of a yokai.
"Wait, what?" Aqua looked at me as if I lost my marble.
"This here." I knock on the thick rock of the boulder. "This is a barrier to the entry into a yokai's stomach." I begin explaining to Aqua about the yokai and who the two females inside the stomach of the yokai. Seeing how I remember who they are. Barely. But, I won't forget these two any time soon if I see them once.
"Then, we need to save them." Aqua swings her [Rainfell] against the barrier, dispels the barrier that prevents others from entering and leaving. Revealing the cave-like inside of the yokai.
(Unknown Forest: Inside of the Priestess Sealer's Stomach)
'Now, that I think about it. [Keyblade] are broken as fuck if used right and mainly used its ability to unlock and lock anything.' I thought to myself, as I follow Aqua into the stomach of the yokai, which my [Scanner - Identify Target] to let me know this is a yokai called: Priestess Sealer. A yokai that able to lure priestesses inside, then trap them to drain them of their power.
"Leave me and go." I heard a female voice, that belongs to the female characters and if I recall correctly, her name is Kikyo.
"Huh?" And the other one should be Kagome. Kikyo's modern-day reincarnation, weirdly enough with them here together in the same timeline.
"Hey, you two okay?" Aqua asks the two priestesses, with a hint of concern and looking around the cave-like side of the yokai with caution.
'I wonder if it's my luck, to come into the world of Inuyasha. Since I know what's going to be the object in this world that contains [Realm Energy] I need.' I thought to myself, as I meet with the female characters I watch as a child.
