In every heart there is shadow...
Noctis and his retainers keep much to themselves on a need to know basis. With Ignis scouting out clues from Noctis' comic book series Kingdom Hearts regarding their visitors form another world as it will seem to their eyes. They approach the three and let them know of their plans. Even if they do fight the darkness , that will not say they will not turn on them if it will come to that.
In which Ignis speaks on their behalf ...hiding the true identity of Noctis to themselves. There had been hints that shows Noctis is the prince of Lucis if one looks hard enough.
Ignis had been put a bit on edge after his last discussion with Noctis , for one he is a precise person who dislikes even the slightest ambiguity. Futhermore when they do ask their otherworldy visitors , they are met with some weird junk about order , if not a vague response.
Noctis had also told him that if the locals decided to ask , they can say that those two are their mascots. They are beginning to rouse suspicion after Donald and Goofy joined.
" Seeing that you are now stuck to us , we will let you know of our plans. We are going to now secure some funds for another car through hunting. When that is done we will be going to catch a ferry to another nation. The report you herd from earlier between the prince from our nation and a princess from another. Was regarding that. Because it may become dangerous from here on out I will want you all to watch yourselves. We will do our best to look after you all as well. As if one of our own. "
" alright "
Sora responds with a smile. Donald had told him , before they got to the camp with Noctis' company to not reveal anything about them being off world to the inhabitants living there , to preserve world order.
In another world several figures are looking at a hologram of Sora , Donald and Goofy talking to some people in a distant world.
" That little squirt took down the heartless. "
" Such is the power of the keyblade. The child's strength is not his own. "
" why don't we turn him into a heartless , that will settle things quick enough "
" The brats friends are the kings lackys "
" they are all rats by the looks of them "
Then another voice silences them...
" Enough , the keyblade has chosen him. Will it be he who conquers the darkness or will the darkness swallow him. Either way he could be useful. "
In another area or unknown world Riku awakens
" where am I he thought to himself "
Looking around finding his friends missing he calls out to them.
" Sora "
" Kairi "
World - Eos
Gladiolus then takes lead to track down a behemoth. " first we get the creature's horns then we shall take up some hunts to fill in whats needed "
" that's the plan , after we get our cars its on to Galdin Quay " Prompto then responds.
A behemoth is said to had made its lair at the Longwythe Peak area. As the group drew close that is when they saw it a massive creature called the King of the Beasts. Sora, Donald and Goofy begin to look nervous. They had never seen a giant animal in their homeworlds. This beast had a mouth full of razor sharp teeth , two long canine teeth , long horns on its head , and a overly bulky body.
" Gulp " as Goofy and Donald swallow a breath.
While Sora summons his keyblade and held it tightly in two hands realizing he is still a novice when it comes to fighting. But still putting on a brave face. His duels with Riku is nothing compared to what he is about to face in the world of Eos. While in his eyes the four with them seems like to them , they had seen combat their whole lives. Perhaps he should ask one of them to teach him something of swordplay after.
" Heads up incoming " the shield said to Noctis. The group then dives out of the way while conjuring their weapons. All was going well till the creature caught sight of a defenseless target it then rushes at them causing Donald to hide behind Goofy. To the big animal Donald and Goofy looked like a bite sized snack , because they are animals.
" Quack , do something "
Sora then buffs himself up " throwing his keyblade at the animal , hey pick on something your own size "
The weapon went smack against the side of its head , but the beast seems unfazed instead it rushes at Sora. To Gladiolus and the others it could be seen by them as reckless but looking at the kid it reminds him of when he first started training Noctis. " the kid got guts " he said to himself out loud then rushes in to help him.
" hey , kid looks like you can use a hand " swinging his great-sword over his shoulder " you with me ? "
" yes " came Sora's reply and re-summons his keyblade.
" when this is over I will show ya a thing or two "
Seeing whats going on given Ignis and Noctis a cue after an opening is created by Sora's and Gladiolus' combined attack. The prince and advisor then rushes in and finishes it off with a fire imbued dagger and warp-strike hitting the animal directly in the eye to bring it down.
Sora then drops to the ground " whew , you guys are tough. "
" you did good kid " was Gladiolus' response. He then continues.
" You ever wonder why i can create good teamwork with my friends. It is because of trust my father had told me before I left the city to be a comrade and a true friend to Noctis , his words stayed with me. That bond and trust is the most important thing to me. It is not about friendship is power. Its more like they give you the strength to move forward when you think you can't do it. Lend you a shoulder when you were having a hard time. Laugh with you as you tell lame jokes and are able to tolerate your flaws."
Gladiolus then proceeds to cut off the horn of the fallen beast , before checking on his friends.
" none the worse for wear " Ignis then responds and suggests they get back to a haven to rest for a bit.
