Welcome everyone to another chapter of The Seven Shooting Stars of Light and The Thirteen Immortal Darknesses.
This chapter will have Star and Marco's first encounter with not only the Heartless but also with my OC. I've also decided that this chapter will be a two prater.
So, let's dive in shall we?

Chapter 2: A Mysterious Encounter Pt.1
"Marco? I don't know if I've said this already but, your dad is an AWESOME COOK! That breakfast he made us was amazing, now I see where you learned to make those great nachos of yours." Star said rubbing her stomach in satisfaction. She and Marco had just left the house after having Mr. Diaz's legendary summer breakfast buffet which Star started devouring like a wild animal. After that, the two decided to take the laser puppies to the park for some fun and exercise.
"That's my dad for ya, he always tries to outdo himself ever summer when it comes to either his cooking or his artwork. But, I think he put a lot more into the breakfast this time because you're here with us. I mean who can say that they get to spending their summer with someone from another dimension, who's a royal princess that can use magic and fights monsters." Marco says.
"Well, I'm super excited to spend my first ever summer vacation with my best earth friend and his cool parents." Star says full of energy ready to have some fun.
As if picking up on Star's enthusiasm, the puppies start to get a lot more excited as they were all nearing the entrance to the park. "Ha, ha, ha, I think the puppies really want to get to the park today, just look how energetic and happy they are. Yeah a little bit too energetic maybe?" Marco says while struggling to keep hold of the puppies' leashes.
"W-WHOAA" Marco yells as he starts to fall forward. Star immediately grabs him before he hits the ground. But because of this, Marco loses his grip on the puppies' leashes and they run off into the park.
"Oh no, no, no, no, Star we have to go after them,Who knows what will happen if their left on their own." Marco says in a panic. "Marco calm down, let's just hurry and find them before anything happens, I'm sure we'll find them faster if we split up." she says helping Marco to his feet. After dusting himself off he and Star rush into the park to start searching for the runaway pups.
For almost a half hour, Star and Marco were looking, running and chasing after all the puppies and it seemed like they found them all. "Phew, that was not how I thought a trip to the park would go." Marco says wiping some sweat off his forehead. He looked to Star and saw she had an odd look on her face, as if she was looking at something that didn't add up right.
"Star? Is something wrong?" Marco asked her. "Um Marco? Are you sure we found all the puppies? Because I think we're still missing one. Huh? I'm positive I counted them all. Here, let me check again, one, two, and three… CRAP! Your right, I must of miss-counted. So, which puppy are we still missing? Sigh, we're missing Barco Diaz, oh man where could he have gotten to?"
Seeing that Marco was starting to panic, Star puts her hand on his shoulder to try and reassure him.
"Don't worry Marco, I'm sure we'll find him before anything happens. Thanks Star. Your right he can't have gone that far, I've also been training him for a couple days now, so he may know to stay in the park until me or you find if by chance he got separated from us. See Marco, if you did all that then there's no question that we'll find, so come on you worry wort, let's go find him already." Star then starts dragging him, along with the seven other puppies through the park to find Barco Diaz.
(Outside the park, building top)
Meanwhile, on top of a building close to the park, Rosa was laughing a little bit while watching Star, Marco and the seven puppies' race around the park looking for their other missing puppy.
"It's almost like I'm seeing a modern day version of my Master if their jovial and cheerful personalizes are anything to go by. 'Really? Just how much of me do you see in her Rosa?' WAAAHHH! MASTER WOULD YOU QUIT DOING THAT WHEN I'M THINKING?! ALSO, HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN LISTENING IN?! 'Not too long, I just came around to the part of how much my young descendant reminded you of me.' Sheesh, tell me next time you're going to contact me before you just start talking." Rosa sighed while hearing her Master's small laughter.
'Still thought, I find it rather interesting how much she resembles me at that age. Thought, like myself back then, she also lacks the patience for somethings. That's true. So what do you make of her friend in the hoodie?" Rosa asks while still watching Star and Marco search for the puppy.
Being able to see the two teens through Rosa, her Master focuses her gave on Marco.
'Hmm well, you weren't wrong when you said the boy had some similarities to Eraqus's pupil, while the both of them have a desire to protect those close to them, I sense that this boy's heart is currently at conflict with itself.' What do you mean at conflict with itself? 'What I mean is that his heart-,hold on a minute,' Rosa's Master says sensing something strange.
"Master? Did something happen?" Rosa asks in a concerned voice when her Master suddenly went silent.
'Rosa look towards the entrance to the park that those two are in. What why? What's going on? Just hurry and look and already! Alright, alright!" Rosa says looking towards the entrance to the park as instructed.
When she did, she saw what looked like several black puddles racing through the ground into the park, headed in the same direction that Star and Marco went.
"What?! Why are those things starting to appear here? 'I don't know why, but we'll have to figure it out later. For now thought, Rosa? You know what to do right?' Of course, I'll make sure no harm comes to those two while under my watch."
Rosa stretches her hand out as if grabbing something, then a small light appears in her hand and begins to grow larger and shape itself into what looks to be a weapon, when the light fades, what Rosa holds in her hand is a unique looking sword with a sliver guard around a brown handle, a black and gold blade with a red detail starting from the silver rain-guard leading up to the tip of the blade, On one side of the blade teeth in the shape of a golden crown with silver on both sides of it, at the hilt of the guard is a three link golden chain with a red crown attached to what looks to be three gold spheres that shape to make a mouse head.
This weapon is called a 'Keyblade.' A weapon of great importance whose origins are shrouded in mystery. The Keyblade in Rosa's hand is called 'Neo Light Seeker' a Keyblade given to her by her Master after she participated in an inheritance ceremony.
'Good luck to you Rosa and please try not to go overboard.' her Master said before leaving her mind.
"I can't make any promises, but I'll try." She says with a slight smirk. "Alright time to get started."
(Inside the park)
Further inside the park, Star and Marco were having very little to no luck in find Barco Diaz. The other seven puppies were having a hard time too, even trying to pick up his scent was proving difficult.
"Sigh, Star? You find anything yet? I was kind of going to ask you the same thing, because I haven't found anything yet either, sorry Marco. Now I'm really starting to get worried here Star, it's been 45 minutes and we still can't find him. Marco I know how you feel right now, I know it's frustrating and longer this takes more likely something could happen to him, but you just have to have faith and believe in everything you taught him okay?" Star says while hugging him in comfort.
"Thanks Star, that helped put my mind at ease a bit." Marco said returning the hug. They stayed like that for a good 3 minutes.
"Umm Star? You can let go of me anytime now. Oh,I was kind of waiting on you to let go Marco. Oh right sorry about that. No, no, it's alright heh, heh." They both let go of each other looking away from the other with a light blush on their faces.
"Okay now that we got that out of the way let's get back to-huh?" Star stops mid-sentence when she see something approaching both her and Marco.
"Star? What's up? You see something over there? Yeah but, I'm not sure what it is, and whatever it is there are more of them and their coming at us really fast. Well, what do they look like? Other dogs maybe? I don't think so, in fact, I can't tell what they are. Really? Here, let me see." Marco says looking past Star to have a look for himself.
What he saw coming, look to be a herd of black shadows racing across the ground towards them.
"Star? Something tells me we better start running, like NOW!" Marco says freaking out a little preparing to grab Star and the puppies and run.
However, before they can even do that, the strange looking shadows were already in front of them.
Then several strange looking creatures then began to climb out of the ground where the shadows were. They were humanoid shaped with spherical round heads and circular glowing yellow eyes. They also had two twisted looking antennae sprouting from the tops of their heads, three finger clawed hands and large feet. Their bodies much like the shadows they came out of were pitch black in color.
"Star? Are you sure you don't know what these things are?" Marco asked as he, Star and the puppies started to back away a bit from the creatures that started to inch closer to them.
"Marco I've been to some pretty strange places and seen some even stranger things. So trust me when I say, I have never seen these things before in my life." Star says pulling her wand out preparing for a fight.
What she and Marco didn't notice was that even more of the strange creatures appeared behind them.
While Star was getting ready to fire a spell at the ones in front of her and Marco, the other ones behind chose that time to attack them from the back.
"STAR?! BEHIND US LOOK OUT!" Marco warns her as he sees more of the creatures behind them ready to attack him and her.
Star turns around, but not soon enough to counter the attack, she and Marco closes their eyes and guards themselves from the assault.
It took a couple of seconds for them to realize that they haven't been hit yet, they then hear what sounds like slashing. They cautiously open their eyes, which then widen when they see a black hooded figure wielding what looks to be a black and gold sword with a silver and gold crown on one side cutting down the creatures as if they we're nothing.
"Hah!" Rosa yelled cutting down the last of the creatures that were about to attack the two teens from behind.
When she looked up, she saw that Star, Marco and the puppies were staring at her with looks of amazement, caution and gratitude.
'Oh boy, not the way I was expecting to introduce myself but, sigh oh well.' Rosa thought and then decided to pull her hood down so the two could see her face.
What they was a girl that looks about 5 yrs. Older than them with long red hair that went to the middle of her back with a red ribbon tied at the end, red eyes and fair white skin.
Looking at the two teens she says, "I know this is kinda sudden but, it's nice to meet you Princess Star Butterfly and Marco Diaz. My name is Rosa Avenger, now, I know you both have a ton of questions but first, let me take care of this little Heartless hoard behind you first." Rosa vaulting over the two stunned teens and diving head first into the waiting mini heartless army.
To be continued
A/N: I'll stop it here. Next chapter will continue with Rosa finishing of the attacking Heartless and leaving Star and Marco with an interesting impression and after words, they will come home and tell Glossaryck what happen which will lead to him telling the Magic commission about the Keyblade War.
Now, can anyone out there guess where I got the idea for Rosa appearance from?
Leave your answer in your review. Whoever has the right answer before the next chapter will get not only a shout out but, if you're an up and coming fanfic writer like me, I'll help spread the word on any stories you are writing.
I'm still waiting on ideas from you guys, you've still got plenty of time so no rush.
All right that's all for now see ya. ;)
