In a rather gorgeous, neon lit city, Baymax flew Sora across the sky, while carrying him on his back. The robot zipped past red, decorative lanterns and u turned around a giant knife of a sushi chef statue as Sora was laughing at the time of his life. Baymax found a suitable, old concrete building that was smaller than the sky scrapers and landed on a bridge way.
Thud!
Sora looked into his AR device and saw the image of Hiro on the upper right, bellow him is the image of Fred and Ken, bellow them was Riku and Wasabi and at the bottom was Kairi, Go Go and Honey Lemon. Hiro played the role of mission control. "Okay guys, is everyone set?" Wasabi reported. "Riku and I just got into the food district!" Kairi yelped in her report. "We're so high up!" and Fred reported with vigor. "And the Master the Pyromatic Arts have arrived Down Town."
Hiro instructed as virtual rings appeared across a path that lead to a connecting building, with a particular hexagon leading up. "Okay guys, go through the rings and head for the goal." The group gave a collective. "Okay!" Hiro pressed a few buttons on his side. "I'll be here to help you out remotely." Baymax flew to the sky and to a particular trial as Sora followed the rings with an elegant dash and nimbly double jumped to the hexagon without giving Hiro time to explain. "Wow, keep finding indicators, if you veer too far off course, you'll know. I put up a virtual boundary."
Sora skid across the structure, landed on a roof, looked around and saw on the bottom left of his visors directions leading down, he looked to find a blowing vent with fans and a virtual up sign and a trio of poles with glowing rings. He sprinted to the furthest one, used his blade to spin around it, catch the rings and fling himself to another, then spin to catch more rings and fling to the closest one to the vent platform. Glitter! WOOSH!
He flung to the vent and used it to leap high in the sky, where he found himself going through rings and found stacked pillars of rings over the edge and heading to the street, the boy free fell and used his power of air to slowly glide to another row of pillars and then to another, he was close to the ground and found a swarm of virtual heartless waddling around. Sora raised his blade and slammed down in a shock wave to wipe the swarm out, in sync to a bolt of star light and clearing the street of the virtual enemies, a Kairi that had something of a sweat. "Phew! That was a long fall." She looked up to find someone coming down and looked around for something, Sora looked with his AR and found what looked to be a ramp going to a freeway bridge, with grind rails. Sora's was the closest and the boy made a sprint to jump on.
Enough that Kairi saw him, she gasped in surprise and the boy landed backwards, he gave a challengers wave and a dorky smile that caused her give a fierce, determined scowl towards him. She dashed to her side of the rail and was ready to jump on. Sora spun a hop and grind his feet on the rails. He found a particular, roller skater, catching up with him, a nimble Go Go that flipped and skated backwards to motivate him and a following Kairi. "You two, gotta keep up!"
The freeway split into two paths, one going straight ahead and another going to a right curved ramp to a horizontal freeway. Sora saw multiple hexagons on his path, some on his end of the rail, some on the unoccupied rail to the right. Kairi saw hexagons on her side and gave a determined, if dorky smile to Sora.
Their paths parted on the splitting of the ramp, Sora crossed to the road with a curve to the left and jumped on the right rail to cross over more hexagonal loops. He jumped back to the right rail and jumped to the left one more time as he saw a ramp going right and used that rail. He found a curve ball of a collection of hexagons on the right path, requiring a jump and to the left, smaller, circular rings. The ramp joined into a larger freeway with three rails. An extra left one to create a middle, he followed the more worthwhile ramps and found the road leading to a blocked path of arrows going right, to a collection of buildings. Despite the right most ramp leading to an easy curve, he took the path with the hexagons and found sudden rings appear right anyways. He was a little dazed and found someone heading towards him on a grind rail. A Kairi trying to catch her rings and fumbling on getting the hexagons. She saw the end and flipped off. "Phew! Nice moves back there."
Sora gave credit where it was due and saw a building leading to an air vent. "You too, but we're not done yet." Kairi agreed and raced him to the vent, together, they performed a high jump and found Fred jumping high in the air with Wasabi, the man in the monster costume whoo'd in excitement as the largest human of Big Hero 6 was fearful of heights. They jumped to a different path as another jumped towards the groups path, an aero dynamic Riku and redirected himself, was laughing like he was having the time of his life and noticed the two challengers.
Following him was a Kendry who looked like he was flying and was using the wind to have better control of his direction. He noticed them and had a determined scowl, Sora and Kairi went with the flow and looked down to hexagonal rings, they free fell as Riku dived down and Ken realized he was hovering. They free falled to an air vent and used it to jump even higher, catching up Fred and Wasabi, the later whined. "Come on, can't we do this on the ground?"
They fell to their own path as the quartet dived through a pillar of hoops and landed on a red orb. Riku phewed like he had his fill of adrenaline and had a taunt to the others. "So how are you guys holding up?" Ken puffed his cheeks. "Ha, ha! I've beaten you all on the score board bef-" The orb rumbled loose from the combined weight and rolled off it's stand, they were caught off guard and lost balance. Giving a combined. "Wo- woah!"
The orb gave a mighty thud on the street and the four landed, they caused the orb to roll out of control in their attempt to keep balance and Hiro advised. "I didn't program this. Calm down and roll together." They did so and Sora quickly took control of the general direction, with Riku and Kairi moving side ways to keep balance and Ken walking backwards, Hiro instructed as rings appeared across the orbs path. "Now just improvise."
The four worked together to guide the ball across the street, committing untold amounts of city damage until they found virtual arrow signs going left. They slowly stopped the ball, looked to find a ledge going to a tall building and jumped off the ball to land on the ledge. Sora and Riku knew what to do, the spiky haired boy turned to the less experienced and asked. "Kairi, Ken, do you know how to get up this?"
The Princess nodded as a determined, one armed boy dashed to the building with Cadia's Light aimed forward and ran up the building, the older boys flinched and Kairi used it as her chance to follow her Lil Bro. "Last one up there, buys dinner!" Riku cringed. "Oh, heck no! I'm not losing my savings!" He dashed behind and Sora realized he needed to keep up.
Ken saw virtual heartless appear and used his lasgun to snipe turret like heartless, he ran through the rings and saw a puff that formed a blue platform at his right, a Honey Lemon that had a windy back pack and a collection of orbs. She tossed a red orb to the higher left of the building and jumped there, almost in sync with Ken's shots as she jumped higher and higher, a particular platform got in his way and he ran left, he reached the top, flipped and saw there was one more ledge to jump on and without paying heed to arrows suggesting he dash right, flung himself a mighty jump, he turned right and realized he missed a red hexagonal hoop and relaxed to observe the trial head, a mid air path of hoops that lead to flying blimp like devices. Fling! He looked right to find Kairi jumping through the hexogonal hoop and a small bundle of rings, followed by a Riku that was out of breath and a Sora that realized he lost a bet.
The spiky haired boy cringed. "Ah man!" Kairi groaned. "Come on guys, I was half joking right there!" Ken blinked. "About what?" Riku tried to breath and dismissed the false bet. "Nothing that important, Kairi... what do you mean by half?" Kairi nervously waved her hands. "We had no plan for what to do after this." Sora slowly approached the ring line as Riku calmed down. "Fair enough." He and the Princess were the last to observe their zig zag of an obstacle course as Hiro had good news for them. "You guys are at the final stretch, it's time to go full super hero."
That was the hint the four needed and they focused on the neon lit path. They glided as one towards one blimp, then to another, reached the tip of a building and flowed to another blimp, they found a wider building to flow to and found an indicator at a nearby building that lead to the highest peak of the city. Baymax flew near to the path of rings to let them know. "You are near the goal."
The four teenagers understood and finished flowing from blimp to blimp, reaching a red neon lamp of an edge and finding an air vent to the highest point of the city. With one more jump, they reached the goal and the top. They felt their legs burning and eased their breathing, Sora was the first to sit over the edge and look upon the night lit city from afar, followed by a curious Kairi. Ken was completely lost in where is where as Riku smirked to the group. "Not bad, I think that would teach the guys something new."
Kairi nodded as Sora had a look at the flashing lights. "How much did you get done, the last time you were here?" Riku looked on at the flash of green from afar. "Nowhere near as much and it was nowhere near as fun." Hiro agreed over the intercom. "It looked fun and we've collected enough data for the night. You guys might have sparked some new ideas." The green flash puffed again, Sora noticed something weird as Go Go was ready to suggest something, the group were busy talking at once as Hiro saw smoke over the intercom. "Is that-" his voice was drowned out and Wasabi noticed something on his end. "Wait, is that smoke at SFIT?"
Riku looked and realized those were not neon lights, Sora felt an odd peril. "This is bad." Riku agreed. "We got Skaven on the loose!" Ken yelped, saw the far distance, flipped Cadia's Light and turned it into jet like wings. "We got to get over there lickity split. Sis, you and the guys got a plan to get over there?"
Kairi nodded, glowed in light and formed the aura of a star. "If we do this together, we can get this in seconds." She and Ken crossed arms for an elbow to elbow union, the jet wings exhausted fire and Sora flipped up. "Riku and I can get there as fast without that, give them everything you got and we'll clear them out." He and Riku readied a leap as Ken asked. "If the impact doesn't do that. Three," Kairi realized what the plan was and had her starlight mix in with fire, forming into an in sync meteor. "Two." Ken whispered. "One." They counted as one. "Zero."
Woosh! They flew ahead of the older boys and became engulfed in burning light, becoming like that of a falling star, Sora thought it was to be one epic entry as he and Riku leaped behind them.
A little before the end of Shugyo.
Xion and the Replica looked at the night lit city from the ground and were in awe, Shadey caught up with them to let them know it's task was finished, the boy asked. "Looks like we haven't found much beyond the news about some terrorist rat men. Think we should turn back and see what Karla made?"
Xion completely ignored the request and wandered off to a grassy clearing on the outskirts of the city, finding a collection of small buildings and tropical trees that were a wonder under the night sky. "Woah. What kind of place is this?"
The Replica and shadow creature looked to each other and shrugged, the boy read the sign. "The Sans Frasnokyo Institute of Technology. Looks like we've wondered into a college." Xion wanted to have a closer look and was held on the back of her shirt by her brother. "Hold it, we could be trespassing here. Let's find a clue to anything before getting back." Xion puffed her cheeks and pouted. "Aw." "REEE!"
SPLAT!
The three heard blood curdling screaming, coming from a nearby, empty building, they drew their keyblades and followed the noise into a building, finding a man in red and black, flinging himself to a trio of hulking, rat like heartless with electrical claws, they saw a horned, rat wizard laying on the ground, with his throat slit and listened to the man laughing with his pistols. "Come on I got peanut butter bullets for all of ya. Hua, ha, ha, ha!"
Xion whispered to her brother. "Should we help this guy?" Dupmic nodded as the mercenary danced around the claw swings. Dupmic formed a hot steam around his keyblade and aimed it at the Storm Hulks, shooting a barrage of hot steam that vaporized one of the foes, Xion simply charged at the two remaining and smashed them to bits, leaving a clearing and an obviously burrowed tunnel with a dark green air. Rumble! The trio felt the deep rumble and the mercenary cringed, put his pistols on his belt straps and raised a finger. "That's can't be a good sign." He approached the tunnel and told his aid. "I don't got the time to goof around with a bunch of college kids, just stay back and let your neighborhood Merc do his-" He noticed a gleam at the side of his eyes, turned around to find two kids and stopped. "Oh, hello!" He hesitated to accept the aid. "Hey kids, this dump is under quarantine, how about you go play at a park or... something with less... psycho rats." He noticed the keyblades, the determined faces and Xion's scowl for justice, he asked. "You're totally going after them, are ya?"
Xion nodded. "What ever these Skaven have planned, is going to put everyone in danger." She asked her brother. "Dupmic, do we trust him?" The boy answered loudly in an instant. "He's crazy, these rodents are worse." He took the lead and asked the lesser evil. "Who are you?" The mercy joyfully marched into the tunnel. "Just your world hopping pal, Deadpool and I'm just getting paid." He asked. "Hey, since you got those keyblades as well, hows about you take care of any heartless that will be coming for peoples lawns, while I do the exterminating?" Xion approved of vanquishing a great evil. "Gladly."
The trio went down the tunnel, into the underground of the city, they found a downward turn that lead them underneath the colleges campus and found a chamber, with a tunnel going deeper, with in, was a glowing gnawed hole and a collection of green stones laid around a wall, creating a rather massive rift. Conducting the ritual was a Skaven Seer on top of a giant, four armed rat monster, chanting towards the rift along with two warlock engineer. "Yes, yes, the foolish key, keys know not where we seek! Oh Great Horned Rat, we open the great Gnaw hole in your name! Arise and bring ruin to the World! Yes, yes!"
Deadpool took out a sniper rifle and shouted as the siblings sneaked into the shadows. "Not today, you furry asshole!"
Pow!
He shot the rifle at one of the warlocks, killing it instantly with a head shot, the Seer turned sharply as the other engineer jumped in shock, exposing himself to another shot in the head. The Seer screamed. "Whaaaa. Man things here now?!"
Deadpool waved hello. "Nah, it's just me. Say, Thanqoul do you like cats?" Boneripper aimed his flamethrowers and heat them in green as Thanqoul screamed. "Die, die! The Everchosen wishes conquest now, now! Feel Boneripper's power!" Deadpool seemed to have ignored the death threat. "Always, laying doing nothing, like they own you, a bunch of good for nothing bums. But every once and a while, they repay the favor and give you some nice presents." Boneripper unleashed fire, Deadpool flipped to dodge, felt some burns and that his faux behavior had run it's course. "I remembered last week, Ms. Felicia brought me a nice big-" He aimed his rifle and pulled the trigger to speak deeply. "Dead rat!"
Tick! Few!
A bullet flew at Thanqoul, he braced himself and a strange energy from the Gnaw Hole, shielded him from the bullet. Deadpool blinked and noticed a sinister figure behind the hole. "Woops!" Xion and Dupmic focused, the girl enveloped her blade in a storm cloud and aimed, releasing the cloud and pelting Boneripper in intense lightning as Dupmic stabbed the ground and caused a quake to ripple to the giant rat.
POW!
A giant fist of earth punched Boneripper, knocked Thanqoul off and knocked the monster into the rift. Thanqoul landed in a thud, turned to the keybearers and hissed. "How?! How have you meddling Chaos Bounds, find your way here? Have you come to kill the Great Thanqoul?" The kids were confused by the statement and Dupmic answered. "We let our buddy here, do all the talking while we'd set up, we just want you and your junk, out of here."
Deadpool turned his head to give a smile under his mask and directed the rifle to Thanqouls chest. He looked to the rat with a less than friendly glare. "What can I say. A good exterminator always has a back up trap, incase the rats gets bitey." Click. "Any last words, fleabag? We're shutting this occult, terrorism crap down."
"Nooooooo."
The sound of a deep, voice, blew through the gnaw hole, long, gangly claw pulled out as the rest of the form, crawled it's upper torso through, a rather gargantuan, rat skull of a face, emerged, with many horns, the claw covered Thanqoul and allowed him to run into the rift as warp lightning crackled. Deadpool's threatening tone was replaced by a squeak." Uhhhh, we're going to need a bigger rat trap."
Xion felt her gut rushing in a flight instinct as one eye focused on her and Dupmic, while the other focused on Deadpool, the Horned Rat hissed in an otherworldly echo. "We are the trap, trap for the Light bringers. This plan is working better than expected." He crawled towards the teenagers as the world began to unravel. "The Chaos bounded hearts will fulfill their destiny and usher in a New Age of Chaos. Yes, yes!" "ROAR!"
From the shadows in front of the sibling duo, a dark Carnotaurus rushed at the Horned Rat and head butted him back into the rift.
Xion and Dupmic aimed their blades at the gnaw hole, the girl spoke. "Nope! Not today!" Dupmic agreed with that. "We don't need this." A mystical keyhole of light shined at the gnawhole, along with the one Thanqoul used for travel. In a shine from the tip of the blade, light made contact with the keyhole and caused the green glow to die down, the smaller gnaw hole vanished as the larger one slowed from the Horned Rat's power. The closing keyhole was shoved through a punch, and held, expelling the presence of the Skaven from the world. Despite the victory, the four heard laughter, from behind. In time, the sense of immediate danger faded and Deadpool weakly asked as he realized something embarrassing. "And that... takes care of the rat problem." He asked. "So, what are you kids really doing here?"
Dupmic answered bluntly. "Initially, we came here to join up with some friends of ours and have a little fun. Maybe try out this Training thing we've heard about and become more skilled after we finished sight seeing, that was when we heard you." Xion asked Deadpool with a raised eyebrow and renewed control of her bowels. "How did you end up with this job, in the first place?"
Deadpool giggled and answered as foot steps were heard. "I was looking for work and she used the magic words to make me listen." He directed towards an imaginary logo of green paper. "Money- and to an imaginary logo of tortilla shells, lettuce, cheese and steak meat. "and tacos!"
A quack was heard. "There he is!" Deadpool turned behind him and saw Donald and Goofy crawling into the former rat nest, behind them was a Spiderman, unaware that Shadey became spooked, dissolved into dark tendrils and brought the teenagers through the shadows with it. The arrived trio, found Deadpool by himself, Spiderman saw the glowing warpstone and what looked to be closed tunnels, he coughed in astonishment. "You weren't kidding. Do you have any idea what was happening out there?"
Deadpool put his weapons away and answered with a rather serious tone and his thumb pointed to the bigger tunnel. "I sure do, them psycho rats nearly summoned Doru's pet Horned Rat before these two pals of mine used some of those things yours buddies got to close it and the other hole up." He looked to where the teenagers were and found no one was there, leaving more for him to explain. "Ah crap."
Goofy and Donald might know who Wade was talking about, Goofy asked with concern. "Did one of them look like a black haired girl?" Wade nodded and saw from the faces, that something was up, Goofy and Donald relaxed to that, the duck appreciated the news. "We'll we're glad that one of our friends has met another for all her trouble. Even if it is you."
Deadpool sighed in pity for Xion's situation as Spiderman asked rather concerned. "I've heard Thanqoul is a little special among the Skaven and I don't think this is a coincidence. You think you can help us figure something bigger out?" Deadpool thought about it. "Well..." He shrugged. "Okay! But only because no one here likes Chaos going about and those punks still owe a good man his taco." He raised a finger and waved it in a heart felt vow. "They're going to pay for that, one way or another. But-" He lowered his hands. "I... kind of need a little bit of time to cash in or the Mara is not going to be a happy lady. You got some of that time?"
Spiderman knows that Deadpool is trying to say a name, without saying it and answered. "Yeah, we actually do." Deadpool waved to them like things were cooled down, he casually walked past the three and went to leave, the way he came. "Cool beans. You'll find me around the city." Donald wanted to stop him. "Hey, wait."
Deadpool turned his head to the duck. "I'm not walking out of this arc, too much is about to go on to excluded me. I think them kids are going to be happy to know, I'm on their side, for reals." That surprised the guards and Deadpool gave his goodbye. "Tell Riku I said that, he'll stop being an angster soon enough." He laughed it off as the two felt their truth senses tingling, leaving the three to deal with following the tunnel and catching up to what might have burrowed.
At the moment Deadpool and the teenagers confronted Thanqoul.
A sinister figure, burst from the ground and unleashed a swath of two dozen, fire breathing rat like heartless. A large rat heartless, with a drill for a nose, mounted, warp stone guns and a sinister aura of green smoke. It looked upon civilization and screeched for it's demise. The rat swarm were ready to wreck havoc and noticed the glow of day upon them, the Warp Stone Vermin, turned and saw what looked like a meteor, coming at him. Ken and Kairi rushed at the Heartless and unleashed an explosion of holy fire, badly burning the heartless boss and incinerating the vast swarm into nothing. They flipped and landed for battle, clearly drawing it's attention, it glared at them and fired warp lightning at them, the siblings let go of their elbow lock and dashed side to side to avoid the bombardment. SLASH!
Two more arrivals came to cut into the Warp Stone Vermin, a Sora that sank his blade into the fiends skull and flipped backwards to summon the Hunny Spout and a Riku with an aura of morning light, the Heartless flinched and jumped to the left side to avoid the spear attack. Causing Riku to land in an embarrassing miss, Sora turned the Hunny Spout into pistols and fired globs of honey at the Skaven made monster. Gumming it up for a sudden web sling and giving Riku time to catch up to the nimble Kairi, he had an analysis of the fight and of the green storm brewing. "We got something big coming, think we can finish this thing off before Sora does?"
Kairi watched Sora dance around the lightning and quickly turning the fight in his favor. "Can it be done in ten seconds?" Ken side jumped to them and pressed Cadia's Light in the ground, causing it to glow. "If you feed your light to this charge, it should be enough for one more explosion."
The two felt it was a good idea and with an aim of their hands, channeled light into the blade, causing the ground, underneath the heartless, to crack and quickly burst a pillar that scattered the warp cloud. The Warp Stone Vermin landed in a thud and was trashing madly as Sora turned his pistols into a launcher and fired a bee of hunny, gluing it to the ground, it tried to aim it's warp stone gun at Sora for revenge and was punched in the face by a dive bombing Baymax, with Hiro riding on it's back. The two watched the monster dissolve into darkness and left behind, nothing. Hiro was greatly impressed by the battle ending as fast as it did. "Woah, do you guys know where that Heartless came from? We need to close off this problem, fast."
Sora flipped his launcher back to a keyblade and looked to find a burrow, surprisingly, the sense of danger left, coming out of the hole was Donald, Goofy and Spiderman, who were very impressed by the handling of a dire situation. Sora asked. "What happened down there? Trouble came fast and it went even faster."
Goofy answered that. "Some friends of ours came here ahead of us and stopped Thanqoul from summonin' a Horned Rat." Donald nodded. "Xion and Dupmic had a little help from Deadpool." Spiderman nodded to that. "Wade said he would help us, once he finishes a little business." Baymax sensed something and turned to find a certain mercenary casually leaving. "Wade Wilson, has been spotted."
Spiderman noticed and signaled to the group that they are letting him go for now, Hiro suggested. "We'll deal with him tomorrow, I was going to ask... since most of you don't exactly have a place to crash for a couple days." He scratched the back of his head. "If you could borrow the garage for a while?"
The teenagers looked to each other and thought about the offer, it was something they shouldn't refuse, Donald and Goofy yawned from an evening of chasing trouble and gave a general consensus that they should rest up and talk it over. Spiderman had to refuse. "Thanks, but I got an apartment on rent." He asked. "Donald, Goofy, you mind if I find the kids who saved our butts?"
They didn't and Sora advised. "You can't miss Dupmic, he tries too hard to disguise himself, but if you don't see anyone near him, that's because Xion has a condition where people normally can't find her, like she doesn't exist. It's a little hard to break through that without us." Spiderman sighed. "That's depressing to hear." Ken agreed with that. "It is, but if you can try, it would make her feel better until we can group up."
Riku approved of the suggestion and gave Spiderman a thumbs up. "If it doesn't work, don't worry about it we'll get it sorted." The super hero turned to leave. "I'll go for trying on my own," He shot web at a high post and waved them goodnight. "Have a safe night, kids!" He slung himself to the higher ground and into the darkness of night. Leaving the group to follow Hiro and Baymax towards familiar ground, the boy genius asked. "While you guys settle down, I'll can show you the data scores if you want. The guys were talking about all kinds of idea and that quick fight you did is going to give us more." Sora didn't mind it. "I want to know how we all did."
At an alley way, in the city.
Dupmic and Xion found themselves before the white circled hole, Shadey rose in the form of a particular boy and offered to guide them in. Dupmic looked tired from the close encounter with a Chaos entity and wanted to sleep it off, he apologized to Xion. "Sorry we bailed before you could make more friends. I'll bet we'll get more time to do that, in the morning." The girl honestly didn't mind and followed the two into the rift. "It's cool, I think I almost had an accident when we saw that Horned Rat show up."
The Replica cringed. "You too? We didn't bring an extra pair of pants," Upon entry, they found themselves in a dark, yet safe and coozy place, a campfire with in a cave. Rather plush sleeping bags, were laid out and Karla was resting on a simple mat, she noticed them and gestured to the three. "You've returned well. You feel like you had an adventure." The Replica cringed as Xion found a bag to wiggle into and Shadey closed the hole to where only a tiny hole was seen, darkness quickly settled, yet the fire kept it's light, the boy spoke. "We've done our share of good for the night, the city can rest a little easier, with the Skaven up and gone. Should we bother finding the Keyhole to this place and keeping the trouble of Chaos out of the city?"
Karla wondered about that. "While the Everchosen has a fearsome army, I believe the most dangerous of those foes, will be easy to spot and would be easier if they were NOT in the world." Xion rested in her sleeping bag. "And there is no way of knowing right now. We'll just have to keep watch, until we can meet the guys. Dupmic, think this world is as perfect as it would for you to finally spill it to them? They'll trust you more when you do."
The Replica had a flashback of Riku, shivered and crawled into his bag. "It would, but I need to work up the guts, not now and not tonight." He thought more into the ordeal and confessed. "I've heard of Thanqoul before, he's one of the mooks under Archaon's thumb and if he showed up, then we're going to have anyone connected to him, show up tomorrow, to make more havoc. We got to keep a close eye on what moves in the shadows and make sure the only thing moving are people trying to get by and us." Xion agreed with that. "And we have no idea how long the Skaven were here. They could have been hiding for hours until they've attacked and until Deadpool started clearing them out. It's pretty brutal how it came to that," Karla laughed to that. "Do not mourn those wicked things, they have no regards to even the lives of their own kind and for all you know, the heartless that spawned from them, were intentional."
Xion shivered. "I don't, that's why it feels easy to take a keyblade or something and just... go at them before they do the same to you. Dupmic, whether you're coming with me or not, I want to meet up with Kairi and the others tomorrow, first thing." Dupmic slowly relaxed to the crackle of the fire. "I'll be close buy, checking out the stuff we can do." Xion felt snug and watched Shadey slither into his own bag, curled up into some beast, she giggled and closed her eyes. "Tomorrow is going to be great."
At Yen Sid's Tower.
Mickey finished his long report on the current events, Yen Sid pressed his hands together and had a pleased smirk. "It is finally time, though it would take a little more time for Master Aqua to make her first craft." Mickey nodded with a correction. "If she and Ven can find what they are looking for. I have a hunch that they would." Yen Sid felt it was a strong possibility. "It would be unwise to ever, leave things to chance, unless the odds are greatly in your favor. But a world like that, would not disappear into thin air."
Mickey agreed with the knowledge. "Especially one that is a giant simulation machine, if Magi is correct, it's machine spirit... it's heart would be among the worlds to return after Sora and Riku brought out the Song of Awakening. Now we need to figure out, how we are going to handle the coming war? It could take us a long time before the Heart of Darkness, comes to us, Archaon and Xehanort are not going to wait around until that happens and they will try to take the one chance we have to stopping all this."
Yen Sid looked upon a closet, with an idea in mind. "Any brave heart, who would take up arms, would be a great aid to us, regardless of what the Forces of Chaos believe." Mickey had a hunch of what his old teacher was thinking about. "We can't just have anyone join up in this, if we do, we'll just be throwing lives away. But they could need a way to get to where they need to go as soon as possible. I've heard from Kairi that the fellas, who made traveling worlds their business, don't take visitors lightly."
Yen Sid stood up and approached closet to have a scientific view on the concept. "For that is the World Order at work. To provide the Worlds, with the means to protect themselves, we might have to sacrifice that Order. Is there anyone from that World, who would take part in this equivalent exchange?" Mickey thought to it. "There could be one. Master, be careful about how you do this, diplomacy is the most important part for all of this to work."
Yen Sid agreed with that and put the knowledge he has heard from the World of Monsters, to mind. "For even a common cause, would not guarantee an alliance. I will study into this, have you made mention of our ordeal to your closest kin?"
Mickey scratched the back of his head. "Besides Donald and Goofy, not really. A lot of them don't have the kind of experience those two have, only Minnie comes anywhere close and she's read a lot about the White Mages." Yen Sid smirked. "That could suffice, now inform Master Aqua and Lady Ana about what I might do when you leave this tower."
Mickey let him know that will be done and left, leaving the wizard to focus upon his knowledge of the World of Monster and think deeply into his heart. From behind the closet door, came a knock. He opened it to find on the other side, an work station, with a slug like monster in a yellow uniform, having the initials of CDA 001, she was looking at a short, green, one eyed monster who had a finger raised in the air and was lowered. "To... open that."
The slug spoke in a monotone, grouchy voice. "It's the only way to let them know that we've come in peace, Wazowski" She slithered to the door. "Now leave this to a Professional." Yen Sid stepped back and greeted the arrival. "It appears we've both came to the same conclusions?"
The slug nodded. "They call me Roz, we've been having a shortage on laughter from the doorways BH 1-50 and from TT 30, 33 and 45. All of the reports showed that the children had signs of concern and one of them told Mr. James Sullivan about a familiar incident to the one that occurred over a week ago. You've confirmed my suspicions correct and are willing to have a little chat?"
Yen Sid approached his desk and turned. "And we have heard of a particular business you partake in, for your survival. But for this to work, there is a complication that we have to disregard." Roz guessed. "The World Order? I've heard of this little rule, you can say that it is the motto of concern for Monsters Inc and it is for the best that the work force keeps that part of the status quo. So what do you need?"
Yen Sid answered her clearly. "I will start with a tale of something that we cannot provide for those who are to be apart of this alliance, do you know of the Gummi Ship?" Roz hmmed. "No, have I not, but it is the reason for this to be happening at all. Feel free to tell us why that is important." Yen Sid obliged and began talking about how people traveled between worlds."
At the Land of Departure, in the Forge Room.
Aqua organized the components of materials for the fated craft as Wanda asked in shock. "So that's where the Grots and Orruks went to. You're saying that the nature of the Mirage Arena should keep them entertained and in fighting shape, but for how long before they get bored and take it out on nearby worlds?"
Ven guessed from his own experience. "If they do, they'll know they're going to run out before we deal with them. They kind of want to go back home, where the real fighting would continue on." Ana shrugged to that as Stitch played with her wings. "And they won't be of any good to us if they're dead. So for now, we should label the Mirage Arena as a dangerous world to trend in and let the others in the central worlds know of the dangers, should they go exploring and stumble across it. What's important now is that you and Aqua have acquired enough material, don't have a reason to go back in there and consider it a blessing that the Forces of Destruction see the bigger picture." She saw Aqua reading over a book on the knight and a book about a particular man in a turban and a cloak covering most of his body. "If the forge master, requires aid in this, she would let us know?"
Aqua quickly mixed the two visions together and went to the computer to make a blue print. "I don't think we need any help for this. But we're going to be so busy here, that everyone is working towards something," Lines came together in a projection of the heart, the ladies of Sigmar's Empire felt their presence would disrupt delicate work, Wanda promised. "Once his majesty gets here, we'll tell him where the two of you are. I still can't believe your getting started on that, so late at night, after having an adventure like that."
Aqua didn't mind it. "I'm getting started on the design ideas and as soon as Mickey gets us a gummi phone, we'll text the guys what they're going to be in for." She saw more of the image come together and was barely containing her excitement. "I can't believe we're actually getting started on this." Ana agreed on that. "It's going to be glorious, just don't over work yourselves," Wanda turned to leave as Ana gave Ven an order. "Young man, see that she gets some rest once she makes the schematics, fighting Orruks, Skaven and a Grot with a Keyblade should have been enough for one day."
Ven agreed with that. "I'll stop her if she keeps going. Don't stay up too late." Ana groaned. "I don't need it as much, but thank you for the concern." She left with the alien on his back, Stitch waved the veterans for his goodbye. "Night, night!" Ven waved back. "Night Stitch, thanks for the help earlier." Aqua looked back and waved. "It's appreciated."
Click!
With the door closed, Aqua focused on her work, the schematic of merging regal teenager sized, regal armor with the mystical cloth, came near perfectly, save for the helmet. Aqua was stuck at what to go for, for the turban would cover too much of the helmet. Ven thought of something and snapped his fingers. He approached the schematic on the computer and focused, causing the helmet to change to have a small set of wing like spikes at the side of the helm, adjusted backwards. Aqua began imagining it and put the helmet on the suit. "...That would work." She felt a spark of an idea as Ven applied a virtual pot of white, grey, yellow, black and red as the color options. "And we just made Sora's blue print."
Aqua nodded to that. "Do you want to color this up before or after we get the others done? I think Riku's is going to be easy to blue print and I think I got Kairi's down as well. Resira's gave us most of Ken's, but it would feel lazy if we just copy the Tempestus's uniform, Ken's note had something about cow boys in westerns and something about bounty hunters in that film he talks about. If he plays around with the phone, we can look up what he means." Ven imagined the military uniform, blended in with the cow boy's attire and whistled. "That could be cool. Now we need a way to look it up."
"I'm back fellas." Aqua had the first schematic downloaded in a save file and turned with Ven to find Mickey with, two gummi phones. Aqua smirked. "Right on que. Welcome back, how did your trip go?"
Mickey presented the two with the phones and answered. "Making these was easier than expected. So I went to report what's happened, to Yen Sid, he's taking what's going on to heart and he might be finding ways for our friends to stick together from across the worlds and maybe travel together when we find ourselves in one big battle." He exhaled. "That's going to cost the World Order though."
Aqua didn't mind that. "That rule is dumb and with what is at stake if the Forces of Chaos are allowed to wreck havoc, I think we can afford to toss out that rule and, maybe, fix it." Ven took the phone and gave his thanks, he tried setting up with it and felt a slight instinct that guided him towards figuring the device out. "It can get fixed as long as we don't toss people into this war, willy nilly. A lot of people we know from back then, can't really fight against the Daemons and wackos. We're going to have to see who can do what in a bigger fight."
Aqua approached in agreement. "Even if it is small, every bit helps and if I learned anything from a couple of the bigger battles, it's that you go after the ones who look important in an army, if they're not scary warriors or wizards, they often find a way to support the ones who can rip you apart." She picked up the phone and through common sense, set up a network. "So how's Yen Sid going to ask the worlds for help?"
Mickey had his hands at his hips. "You remember that one world Sora, Kairi, Goofy and Donald visited? The one where they got turned into monsters?" Aqua gasped. "The one that connects that world to others?" She hummed at the genius plan. "That can work in ways a Gummi ship can't. They're going to find out why they're company could help save more than just their world." Ven agreed that it was brilliant. "And I think they would go along with it." He felt he could search the network and found something of interest, a log of movies that a certain someone has watched and cartoons related to the movies. He typed a search. "Bounty hunters."
Blip! On the instant, there were a variety of mercenaries, one that stuck out was a man in green, uniform like armor, it had thick, leather like cloth on what wasn't covered, along with yellow shoulder and knee pads, the other detail has the helmet having a T visor. Ven blinked a mental wow and saw images of humans in a cowboy like attire, along with strange human like and not so human like aliens with cowboy like like clothes. He showed Aqua the pictures, getting her interest to where she asked. "How much of that, did he watch?" Ven showed it to Mickey, who was surprised of the familiarity. "A lot and apparently, he isn't the only fan. Aqua are you sure we should mix this and the blue print together? He's going to be on that for weeks."
Aqua laughed to that. "They all are! That is the whole point of the preview, this is a group effort and if they love the idea, then the armor will sync with them for the rest of their lives."
She pressed a button on the computer and saw a collection of six, virtual, draconic creatures appear to a wall. A black dragon with a purple underbelly and sinister green eyes, the Black Dragon Kalameet, the Grey Dragon Sinh, a blue Mawcrusha and the Black Scaled, star lit Moonfang and her larger cousin, the winged Nightscale. Aqua knew Ven and Mickey were having caution of the first option, she explained. "Whether Maleficent shape shifted into this or not, doesn't change that this is a dragon. So it's a little fair to put this in here, even if we're not going to pick this." She swiped through the Dragon of Maleficent and past Kalameet. "Too sinister." Then to Sinh. "The color could work if he thinks it would be cool somewhere." She pressed a button and saved Sinh's log, then to the Mawcrusha. "Got a good amount of spikes." Then to the Dracoth and Stardrake. "And this should be the texture to compliment all this."
Blip!
She thought more into what a set of armor would look like mixed together and approach the computer, showing the bare skeleton of the Genji armor. A crystal pencil appeared and Aqua began to draw by hand. "No matter how big, or how small, everything we have seen and done is coming together into this and beyond if some of the worlds out there are joining us in the fight. Mickey, did Ana or Wanda tell you what we told them?"
Mickey nodded. "I'm as surprised as you are, that a Grot was able to earn the favor of a Keyblade. Don't ever underestimate what a strong will would do. That was how Skarsnik caught Kairi and me by surprise." Aqua listened to that. "Speaking of which, we know Skarsnik lost his friend during the End Times and was among the many who were consumed by the warp rift, some of us might have wondered how the people of the World That Was were able to reboot things."
Mickey was interested. "You found out what might have happened to him?" Aqua nodded. "Maybe, The Gloomspite Gits pay homage to the Bad Moon they worship, a celestial entity that brings... ill omens to anyone not a grot or a troggoth, those guys seem to like it though. Apparently, a lot of the Grots look upon the Moon and wonder, where it came from. I think there might be an idea if our own knowledge of celestial moons is anything to go by. The Bad Moon has the image of a Grot and along side it is a smaller moon that orbits around it, like a pet. Does that sound familiar?"
Mickey gasped. "I think it does, but it could also be the idea that Goblins and Squigs have a connection together," He thought into it. "But that might require a strong heart to keep it all together." Ven was feeling a little bit of his mind blown as the King thought. "That could also explain how certain people, survived the World That Was and kept a similar life, everything has an origin."
Aqua had a slick looking schematic of armor made, complimented by shoulder pads that had upward curved, shoulder spikes. "And new life coming in. But no one ever speaks of where someone like Gordrakk, came from and how Wurrzag faded away into ancient history." Mickey theorized to it. "The Ironjawz act differently from the Black Orcs they descended from and if Ven's correct, the Kruelboyz act barely anything like the Orc's of the Old World."
Ven nodded. "But they talk a lot like them? What made those three Warboss of the Old World, that special for Wurrzag to talk about them?" Mickey tapped his head and thought of it. "They've made an impact on more serious fights. Gorbad, for example, thought about using strategies that is unheard of for an Orc and it gets to the point where he valued the Goblins. He might not be the strongest of the three, but thinks outside the box. Then there is Azhag, who is a cautionary tale of not picking up evil things and putting on your head, but he has the will power to fight back against that where others would have to try harder." Aqua helped him finish. "Then there is Grimgor, who is the most ferocious of them all and had the nerve to fight Archaon to the end." Mickey added in. "Not only that, but he was able to hurt him too."
Aqua felt there was one guess to how Gordrakk was connected. "The only way those three would make any sense of a connection, is if Gork or Mork realize they need a figure head to unite the many races towards a common goal. Hmm. We're now talking about the work of gods and what they can do with the material." Ven felt it was pretty insane. "Like take the ideas or left over hearts of those three and mash them together into a new heart? One that has all three of them combined? That's... weird."
Aqua agreed with that. "But it could be an idea to how Gordrakk became the Orruk he is now. Once upon a time, Gorkamorka were allies to Sigmar and even today, they still oppose the Forces of Chaos. Gordrakk said some interesting things when Xehanort wouldn't shut up." She sighed and used her finger to flip the schematic side ways and tried deciding on what to apply to the elbows, legs and back. "I'd still take my chances with Dragon Hackah and the others in comparison, Gordrakk would want to topple our worlds if to get a good fight going and it would cost too much for him to listen and help any of us again." She decided on giving the wrists, going up the shoulders, smaller spikes, going upward and giving the back legs, larger upward spikes. "It's funny how we're going into these ideas."
Ven and Mickey didn't mind it, the boy looked back on the phone and was tempted to start contact. "A lot of it isn't a coincidence anymore, we can learn a lot from others, instead of just thinking there is only one way to do things. So what kind of idea is this?"
Aqua made the spine of the armor, resemble downward spikes and thought about scales for the belly and thighs. "If the Dragoons resembles dragons, then I want this to have the same feel. To combine the power with the refined. If the Dracoths and Stardrakes are refined in nature, then the Mawcrushas have the brutish power. Hmm... I wonder how those kids are doing?" Mickey wondered as well. "Probably settling down if they're not done. We'll figure it out soon."
At Hiro's Garage.
Sora was impressed by the quartet of high numbers that were off by a thousand as Hiro logged in the data, strategies and techniques the AR devices downloaded. "And we are good to go until tomorrow." Riku clenched his fist in bitter defeat over not being the top as Hiro spun in his chair to thank the keybearers and Royal Guard. "Amazing work guys, tomorrow is going to be a busy morning. The guys are going to love making those ideas work." The oldest boy let go of his defeat and rested his left hand on his hip. "Even with the last one cut short, as it did, you guys did alright against the Skaven, it was just that those rats cheat. All the time."
Kairi hummed as Ken was tapping his foot, she gave her motivational input. "If you all done that, then imagine how awesome you guys will be with all this. If they want help with the ideas, tell them to let us know." Hiro gave a thumbs up as Ken nodded to that. "Then we can put that work out there and see the end results. Even if someone us rushed in and stunk up at the end."
Hiro remembered the score bracket as Riku read the rank; Sora was at the top with a near perfect score, Riku was bellow him by a thousand points, Kairi was bellow him by five hundred and Ken was bellow her by five hundred. "It isn't that big of a deal, I think you might have paid more attention to getting up that building, ahead of us, than you did of the path laid out."
Kairi agreed with that. "and I think some parts of the course, needed you to be quick in directions, which isn't really your style beyond jumping in there and making havoc. Think that was what happened? Because I had to get use to keeping up with all that."
Ken folded his arms to that. "Yeah, but we still did good and knocked that Rodent back into the dark hole it came from." Sora gave it where it was due. "We did, you and Kairi landed in a-" he mimicked an explosion. "Pweew!" Kairi wanted to know. "Where did you get the count down from? It's good at making a warning." Ken answered proudly. "From a dream where a creep was trespassing into my castle. It's why I got to keep in shape and do what I can to catch up." Riku was suspicious of the mentioned dream as Kairi assured the boy. "You are, don't sweat yourself."
Hiro thought about it and spoke of a plan. "I guess that's something we can do tomorrow once we make some adjustments. The whole cities got something to do and we can see how we do at the moment." Sora smirked in anticipation. "and then we can Shugyo again?" Riku snapped his fingers. "Or maybe even better, a final lesson before we under go... our own exams?"
Hiro liked where that idea is going. "Or we can return the favor and give you guys a tour? You guys are cool." The keybearers took the compliment well as Hiro yawned, Bayamax showed a time reaching close to midnight. "We've been up since after hours and Aunt Cass has been asleep an hour ago. I suggest we rest up before it reaches to 12:00 AM."
Hiro agreed to that as Donald and Goofy rested on a couple of mats to the bottom right corner of the room. "She's going to want to know who you guys are," He got up drowsy eyed as Ken used his fleshy arm to twitch, unscrew and remove his prosthetic, he almost perked away to the sight as the youngest boy used it to wave. Riku and the others wished Hiro a. "Good night." Hiro and Baymax gave their good nights and left to the inner house. Sora took the bottom left cornered mat and rested on his back. "Phew! What a day." Kairi took the mat in the upper right corner of the room and agreed. "Now we got the whole City to ourselves, for real this time."
She gently laid on her right side as Riku slowly sat on the mat in the middle right, near the computer. "Until we, Spiderman or Wade, find something else. We got to learn the lay out if we want to keep Big Hero 6 prepared for bigger things." Ken put his arm in his bag and pulled out the kiln. "And get to know those guys better." He approached Kairi and placed the kiln in front of her. "I'm leaving this here, Sis. You said you got a handy idea for the Light Stones Barrier?"
Kairi nodded, focused and drew out a summon charm with the spiky shield. "If those dinosaurs were dream eaters, then they are something different from the usual summons we've seen. They are made from the stuff from our dreams. So, it wouldn't hurt them if one of us transposes this into that summon."
Donald felt it made sense. "Those dreams aren't exactly real in the physical sense." Riku nodded. "They are made of stuff that is like the Endless Spells, it is energy from the dreams and heart, that can be made real if we feel like it. Unless a normal summon that most of us do. Kind of like the summons made from spirits, there is nothing that can really kill them again, so they can get away with being more reckless." Ken knew that was directed at him and went to his mat, to lay on his left, his legs facing to the garage door. "And since the Spell went into the Crystal willingly, it probably won't fight so much. Sis doesn't really need me for that if the Ceratoid wants to partake in this."
That reason was why Kairi placed the charm in front of the kiln and took the crystal and place it in front of it. She whispered to them. "Prismy, I got an idea of how we can work together, but to do it, I need to transpose you with the Ceratoid from my dreams. With her, she will use you as a moving shield." The crystal glistened to a sound idea as the charm gave a faint hint to a animalistic grunt, like it had little idea of what to do beyond simple command. Kairi was concerned. "As for you, this could change you're body, but not your mind. Do you want to partake in this?"
She felt a grunt like it wouldn't really matter too much, with a certain approval and a questioning approval, she put the crystal and the charm, into the kiln. She focused and watched the charm become engulfed in light. Sora and Riku were surprised on how simple and smooth the process was, the light from their end, dimmed as Kairi watched from her end, the charm absorbing the light. In a moment, the charm gave it's own glow and floated in the void, Kairi took the charm and watched it shine to the light, like it was a jewel, she placed it close to her chest and caused it to flicker away.
She saw herself in a cozy looking grove, with her friends resting on their respected areas and right next to her, a Ceratoid with a crystal, prismatic frill that looked dim in the presence of a tired mind. It's head was at the right side of the mat mat and she thought to change her position, wishing the boys. "It worked, but I want to see what it did to this big girl. Good night." She laid down and closed her eyes into a peaceful slumber.
From the point of view of everyone else.
Riku casually picked up the Kiln and put it under the computer desk, far away from easy sight. "That was too weird." Ken agreed and was too tired to give much of a worry. "I guess we shouldn't do that with something from the dreams. The spell could get wonky as it gets processed."
Sora wasn't remotely worried as he watched Kairi fall asleep quickly and peacefully. "Her subconscious will take care of the rest, aren't the Ceratoids herbivores?" Riku hmmed to a good point. "And one that's use to her scent. She'll be fine in the morning." Sora yawned and closed his eyes. "It's going to be cool what comes out, night guys." Riku relaxed and laid side ways on his right. "Night guys."
Ken closed his eyes and relaxed to a rather satisfied mood. "Good night." He had an odd blush as Donald and Goofy were the last ones to fall asleep.
A couple hours later, in a strange dream.
Ken felt a bracket of the lowest score, shining before him. "Slacker." "You could have gotten at least a tie with Sis." "This is what you get for easing up." The sound of his own voice became unnerving and he tried to answer to it, finding nothing coming out and seeing the image of Kairi with Wurrzag's Summon Charm and Sora over the body of Kalameet. "Now you got to wait before you get to show them how far you gotten."
Ken got defensive over his voice. "I had no time for that, one of those Orc's gave Sis a bad time and Riku said Sinh was a tough customer." The voice agreed with him. "Yeah, you know and that one is apparently stronger. So how are you going to prove yourself." Ken growled. "I can't right now and I'm not going to run off alone in this city. Will you let me sleep?" The voice sighed back. "You got a good point."
The dream like images became that of a cave, Ken found himself lying on the floor and feeling himself under control, he sat up and found himself before a slumbering, grey dragon, looking to be more peaceful than he was. The boy didn't feel an urge to fight and sat in a meditative stance, he felt something grabbing his left leg and looked down, finding the dark, wolf like arm in a more stable form. Ken tried to find a reason to fight and stared at the dragon for what felt like an hour. "...Is this really what Sinh does? How did he go on a rampage in the first place?"
Splash!"
He heard noise, stood up and turned to find a knight with a large spear and a red cloak. Ken drew his blades and spoke. "The dragon is asleep, go away." The knight refused. "and deny my right as a Drakeblood! The secret to Everlasting Life, lies within his blood." He posed for battle. "And nothing shall stand in my way."
Ken had a confused scowl as the knight was ready to charge him, Ken enveloped himself in air magic, jumped high to avoid the charge, pressed his blades together in a burst of light and flung them to the ground, causing an explosion that knight the Drakeblood off his feet and laying stomach first, Ken called his blades back and free fell to the knights back, flipped, raised both blades up and dived into the knight like a stalactite. Causing him to gasp a death rattle and collapse. Ken slowly realized the knight was the reason Sinh got injured and without much mercy, use earth magic to fling the corpse aside. "Crazy, weirdo."
He noticed Sinh stirred and slowly approached him, he sat down to a better spot and hummed a melody he heard from Kira, hoping it would be a lullaby. The dragon, calmed, yet his eyes opened to reveal a toxic green, a slitted, lizard eye looked around and found a boy in a meditative stance, humming the lullaby. The other eye opened and found the Drakeblood intruder, lying dead, who ever the strange boy was, his intentions were innocent and pure. The dragon lifted his head and stood up, as if to ask the boy that he doesn't need to be a gentle guest.
Ken stood up at the request and gave a bow to the dragon. "That idiot was just going to attack you and he was going to kill anyone who got in his way. I might have wanted to challenge you, but not like that." Sinh closed his eyes and have a huff of smoke, the feeling was understandable. He crouched in warning for an attack and Ken realized. "I issued the challenge just by coming here, did I?"
Sinh nodded, opened his eyes and watched Ken pose for battle, the boy apologized. "Sorry for what I'm gonna do." With a lock of eyes, the battle begun, Sinh lowered his head and rushed at the boy to try and ram him, Ken side stepped right and sprinted to the Dragon's left arm.
SLASH! SLASH!
He lashed, saw scratches and a corrosive liquid on his keyblades. One plan wasn't going to work and Sinh swiped his claw at the boy, Ken jumped back, spun Cadia's Light and fired beams at the dragons head, doing meaningful damage and annoying it to where it lowered it's head, moved it to his left and breathed a yellow fire that has a toxic green, Ken jumped past the dragon's direction watched the fire breath and experimented by striking the dragons head, finding no corrosion.
Sinh jumped back, flapped his wings and looked down at the boy, who figured out what to do. Sinh inhaled and shot a fire ball as Ken sprinted towards him, looked up and shot Sinh at the belly, doing less than ideal damage. Sinh flew forward, crash landed and turned his head back wards left to see Ken flipped to charge a round shot.
POW!
Sinh's head was pushed, the dragon growled and blew a torrent of fire. Ken rant to the right and jumped on the dragons back, Sinh didn't like that and rushed to a pillar of stone, Ken crouched and leaped to the back of Sinh's right horn, he compressed Firekeeper's Wish into a katana and slashed Sinh in the cheek, the dragon used his right claw to swat Ken off, the boy took it, let himself get flung and flipped to land backwards, he dismissed his katana and used fleshy hand getting a feel to the ground, Sinh sprinted at him, Ken used his lowered body to roll to his left and flipped on his feet to watch the Slumbering Dragon take flight, turned and had his toxic breath blow. Ken cringed and glided right to avoid the straifing toxic breath, Sinh landed, jumped and spun to get in an eye lock to Ken. The boy shot charged shots at Sinh's head, the dragon rapid fired fire balls in a counter. Ken sprinted to the dragon, formed a chaotic ball in his fleshing hand and flung it behind him, correctly predicting that Sinh would land. The dragon caught a face full of fire and screeched to the burn and the hands on the lava, Ken followed with a charged shot of a compressed orb and aimed it to the ceiling, summoning an orb that rained beams at Sinh's head, the dragon sprinted to the other side of the arena, jumped to the air and spun, seeing the orb had worn off and seeing Ken readying a more focused shot. Sinh's eyes glowed green and his mouth unleashed a wall of fire. Ken sighed, form changed Cadia's Light into jet wings and used them to fly into the air, he summoned Firekeeper's Wish in his fleshy hand.
The boy gestured to the dragon, with his dark hand pressing towards him. Sinh shot a barrage of fire balls, Ken flew leftwards in fast speeds, aimed Firekeeper's Wish and fired back fire balls, directly to Sinh's face, he found it wasn't doing a lot of damage and watched Sinh fly after him, in an attempt to knock him out of the air, Ken dived down and somersaulted, he took his chance and landed on Sinh's back, he struck at the dragon's wings and caused the dragon to loose balance. Sinh tried to roll him off, Ken hanged onto a spike, condensed Firekeeper's Wish into a whip and lashed out at the wings, tearing off some scales and making Sinh scream in burning pain, he fell to stalagmites, bashed his head and was in a daze. Ken back flipped and whistled to the Slumbering Dragon, Sinh disorientally turned and found Ken stretching the whip into a katana, the dragon tried to fly and felt the signed sting was making it difficult to do so. Ken spun his katana, used his wings to jet himself above and let them revert back to Cadia's Light, he dove down with both weapons aimed directly at Sinh's head. Sinh simply turned his head right, Ken growled and rolled to the direction. The dragon realized that didn't work and readied his legs to sprint forward and out of the way.
STAB! Ken landed on the dragon's head, his blades sinking into his skull, Sinh reared his hind legs and gave one last roar of might in an attempt to throw the boy off, Ken whispered to him. "Good night Sinh, when you dream again, know that the dream will last."
He sank it deeper and caused Sinh to twitch, the dragon fell forward and collapsed. The battle was over and Ken pulled his weapons out, finding them burning green blood off and giving off toxic green smoke. Ken jumped off, landed in front of Sinh and turned to give him a gentle nuzzle. The Dark Cave shifted to a certain arena and Sinh's body glittered, he snored peacefully. Ken stepped back and felt his vision fading away, he found himself waking up, if for a moment. His dark arm was gone and he was confused by the light, he found nothing amiss and returned to his slumber. "You did it in the only way, you can."
On the other end of the room.
Riku felt he smelled something off and woke in a sudden jolt, he looked around to find nothing abnormal, save for Ken sleeping with a missing arm, the rather calm smile was oddly charming. "Must have been my instincts acting off."
Blip.
Riku heard something go off, reached his bag and saw it was his gummi phone. He was astonished in a rather pleasing way, it was a text from Aqua and of four completed schematics, one was of a knights armor with a wrapped up cloth, complimenting a cloak and a winged helmet and a clear face mask, one of armor that looked draconic, with spikes in appropriate places, a helm with back ward, crescent, downward curved horns, something resembling a dragon's snout for a skull cap and a clear face mask, a rather stylish set of armor that looked like a vested coat, tall boots, a cloak complimenting the vest and a helmet that looked like a combination of a hat and a large crown to compliment a clear face mask and what looked like a military uniform with highlights of a vest and a cow boy hat above a helm that has two distinct eye lens and a clear face mask. He texted the one behind the idea. "You actually got the stuff, these ideas look good." He saw an attempt of a smiley face come off as a :] a text followed. "Ven and Exrirsa helped with some of them, but we wouldn't have pointed to the right direction without you guys. We'll get started on Sora's, first thing in the morning."
Riku want to snap his fingers and came to the conclusion that the biggest reason his friend was picked first and not one of Aqua's students was due to merrit. "Exrirsa is helping with this?"
Aqua texted back. "Oh no, she gave Ven and I a blueprint to some armor from the most elite of the Imperial Guard, we'd thought to tweek Ken's armor based on the design. She would, however, be borrowing the Hammer Heart Arena, to help get the gang ready for the bigger fights." The text ended and Aqua asked. "How did the Shugyo go?"
Riku answered. "Pretty well, we had a run in with the Skaven, but Xion, Dupmic and Deadpool took out the last of them. Tomorrow might have something else well have to take care of."
Aqua guessed. "Most of you are sleeping by now?" Riku answered. "Just about, some weird smell woke me up, but nothing seems off." Aqua stopped from the other end and typed a suggestion. "I think you and the others have spent so long being on an edge, that a moment of quiet in an unknown world is too good to be true. If you don't feel like anyone is in danger, it's probably because there isn't one right now."
Riku had one more look and felt the dark presence bellow notice. "It likely isn't around. You want me to tell the guys about this tomorrow?" Aqua texted her answer with a :D. "They got the text as well, anything else happened?"
Riku knew of one. "We found another Endless Spell and Kairi merged it with a dinosaur summon from her dreams, that knocked her out." Aqua texted a :[ "Those spells know how to make a punch, we need to watch out where the spell moves in from."
Riku agreed. "Since it mixed with Kairi's dreams, she'll have it broken down in the morning. Anything else?" Aqua had none to text about. "Nothing that important, good night."
Riku texted back. "Good night." Blip, he put the phone away and had one more look around, no one seemed to having nightmares and some seemed to be relaxed in the NREM. The oldest boy felt tired from the investigation, laid back on his mat and closed his eyes for the night, thinking about the possibilities of the marrow.
