Chapter 14

"Is everyone alright?", asked Sora.

The group landed near the spot were the little girl was at.

"I'm alright.", said Lucy and Wendy.

"Same here.", said Gray.

"Gray-sama! Juvia is ok!", said Juvia.

"Aye, me and Charle are fine.", said Happy.

"I'm alright.", said Erza. "But where's Natsu?"

A fist came out of the rubble and Natsu emerged from it. He shouted, "This place is showing action and I'm loving it! Again!"

"Wak! Now not the time!", shouted Donald.

"Yeah! We got to go help that little girl!", said Goofy.

"Right!", they all said.

"Mm, and then.", said Happy as he crash onto the ground.

"Thank you for saving me.", said the little girl.

"Yeah, no prob.", said Sora.

"You should go find somewhere that safe.", said Gray.

The girl nodded and ran off in a different direction.

"We should check if there is anyone else that in danger here.", said Erza.

"Yeah.", they all said.

"Well, if it isn't Sora and the King's pawns."

They all turned around and saw Maleficent and Pete emerging from a dark corridor.

"And you are?", asked Erza.

"Maleficent! Pete!", said Sora.

"Who are they?", asked Gray.

"During my first adventure, Maleficent gather villains and used the Heartless to collect the Seven Princesses of Heart to unlock Kingdom Hearts, unaware she was used by Xehanort's Heartless. We defeated her but she came back during my second adventure and Pete here helps her.", Sora explained.

"Are you the reason the Heartless are here?", asked Lucy as everyone prepared to fight.

"Certainly not.", said Maleficent. "And who might you be?"

"You don't know? We are Fairy Tail!", said Natsu.

"Fairy Tail? What kind of ridiculous name is that?", asked Pete.

"Do not underestimate us.", said Erza as she pointed her sword at the two.

Pete looked nervous. But he then turned his attention to Sora and said, "Say, Maleficent, I dunno about his sidekicks, but Kid Keyblader here looks way punier than the last time we saw him. I say we finish him off while we still can."

Suddenly, Natsu charged at Pete and sent a fire fist at his face, sending he flying towards the wall.

"No one mocks our friends. If you do, you'll have to deal with me!", said an angry Natsu.

Pete looked dazed and terrified. Maleficent looked intrigued.

"This magic. Where did you learn this, boy?", she asked.

"From Igneel. I'm Fairy Tail's Fire Dragon Slayer!", he answered.

Maleficent looked shocked. "A Dragon Slayer!", she repeated.

"Uh, Maleficent? I think we should go before things get any worse.", said a nervous Pete.

"Yes. We have a far more pressing matter to attend to."

Pete was thinking now. His eyes then pop open and said, "Oh! We gots to find that black box."

"Be silent, you fool! As for you: we shall meet again… when I have time for such trifles.", said Maleficent.

"Yeah, and you better get your act together before then.", said Pete.

Erza threw her sword at Pete and he screamed.

"What did we say!", she shouted.

Pete then hurried to the dark corridor.

"Wait!", said Sora as he ran after them but the corridor disappeared.

"Are you alright, Sora-san?", asked Wendy.

Sora sighed. "It's fine. I can take it."

"Gawrsh. It sure don't sound like it. Did Pete sayin mean things bother ya?", asked Goofy.

"It's fine! I can take it.", Sora repeated loudly.

"Don't worry, Sora. You can show those jerks who boss by getting stronger!", said Natsu with a smile.

"Thank you, Natsu.", Sora calmly said.

"We should go check if there are any other civilians here.", said Charle.

They group then headed into the city: fighting the heartless and searching for any survivors from the attacks. They eventually made it into the gardens were they saw a woman on top of a stone pillar, being attack by Flame Cores.

"Someone, heeelp!", she screamed. "Where did all these monsters come from? Hercules, where are youuu?!"

"Look!", said Donald. The group then rushed to the woman's in danger.

"We'll put these hotheads out!", said Sora.

"Hang on up there!", said Goofy.

"Huh? Who are you? Where is Hercules?", she asked.

"Some damsel in distress she is.", said an annoying Gray.

"Hey, we're heroes too!", said Donald.

"Open, Gate of the Maiden: Virgo!"

Lucy summon one of her Zodiac spirits Virgo.

"Do you wish to punish me, princess?", she ask.

But Lucy's response was, "Stop asking that! You see that woman on top of that pillar? I need you to get her away from the heartless and keep her safe."

"As you wish, princess.", Virgo responded as she jumped onto the pillar and took the woman.

"Wh-what are you-"

"I'm very sorry about this but it is my princess' wish to protect you."

Virgo brought her to a corner, dug a hole, and put the woman in the hole with her.

"Fire Dragon's Iron Fist!"

"Ice-Make: Cannon!"

"Sky Dragon's Wing Attack!"

"Water Slicer!"

The four of the took out a couple of Heartlesses while the rest were fighting them with their weapons. Donald blasting blizzard, Goofy hitting them with his shield, and Sora and Erza slashing through them with their blades, eventually beating them all.

The woman came back from her hiding spot with Virgo and said, "Thank you. You're so kind. Keep training and one day you'll be great heroes just like Hercules."

She then face Virgo. "And ma'am, thank you for keeping me safe."

"It was only my princess' wish.", Virgo responded.

The woman then waved at the group and ran off. "Nice work, Virgo.", said Lucy.

"Will you punish me now, princess?", asked Virgo.

"No! Return to the Spirit World!", said an annoyed Lucy as Virgo disappeared.

"'Keep training'? Is it that obvious?", questioned Sora.

"Just for you.", said Donald.

"Hey!"

"I think we all have a ways to go. But we'll get there together!", said Goofy.

"Yeah, we will."

"Guys, let keep going!", said Gray.

They all left the gardens and kept going. Suddenly, the saw a huge temple collapse after something hit it.

"The temple!", said Wendy.

"Let's head to the temple! We might find some survivors!", said Erza.

They all ran towards the destroyed temple, helping people and destroying Heartlesses along the way. When they arrived, they saw Herc, Laxus, Gajeel, and Lily holding giant slabs of stone so they won't crush a family of three that was near them.

"Herc! Gajeel! Laxus! Lily!", said Sora.

"Sora!", said Herc.

"Bought time you show up, help us!", said Gajeel.

They ran towards them, but the building began to crumble, scaring the family. The four then began to struggle of keeping the slabs in place. Behind the group, the entrance was block by rubble.

"No!", shouted Donald.

"What do we do now?", asked Wendy.

Suddenly, Flame Cores appeared to terrorize the family.

"More Heartless!", shouted Sora.

"You take them. We need to save these people!", said Herc.

"Guys, can you hold the building?", asked Sora.

"No problem!", said Herc.

"Just hurry up and defeat them, we can't hold this forever!", said Laxus.

"Let's go!", said Erza.

"Sea Empress Armor!"

"Open, Gate of the Golden Bull: Taurus!"

Lucy summon Taurus.

"Star Dress: Taurus Form!"

"Moo! You creeps better give Miss Lucy some rooom if you know what good for ya!", said Taurus as he sliced the Heartlesses with his axe while Lucy attack them with her whip. Erza fire water magic at them while Juvia was using her magic against them.

"Sky Dragon's Roar!"

Wendy fired a large amount of winds at the Heartless, sending them flying. After some time, all of the Heartless in the room were defeated.

The temple began to crumbled some more.

"The room is shaking!", said Wendy.

"Get the people out!", said Herc.

They nodded and ran towards the family.

"Are you guys all right? You need to get to Safety. Go! Quickly!", Sora commanded.

Everyone ran towards the exit as the temple crumbled even more, making the four struggle some more to keep the slabs up. Sora, who saw them, wanted to help but ran towards the exit with everyone else as the entire temple collapse from it's destruction.

"Adamantine Armor!"

Erza requip into her defense armor and summon a giant shield while Goofy summon his shield, both protected everyone from the rubble.
