I do not own Kingdom Hearts or Frozen. They belong to Disney and Sqaure Enix. I also don't own Thor. Okay, now we will continue where we last left off... Enjoy...
Chapter 17: Godfather and the Heartless
"So, what are you going to name your kitten?" Anna asked. Kairi thought for a moment. In the few memories of her past life she remembered a young woman who one saved her life. She remembered her blue short hair and her name. "Aqua. Her name is Aqua."
The princess smlied, "That's a nice name."
"Guys, we have a problem." Jane told them. Kairi and Anna turn to see Sora and Thor getting themselves arrested by S.H.E.I.L.D. "Anyone have a plan B?" Kristoff asked. Jane nodded, "I'll call Eirk. He'll know what to do." Jane pulled out her iPhone and typed in Eirk's cell phone number. The others were intrigued by this new device.
Eirk's phone began ringing as he and Cloud were half way to the satellite crash. Eric picked up his cell phone, "Hello? Jane? You okay? Oh. I'll see what I can do. Take Kairi, Kristoff, and Anna back to the others. We'll get them out of there."
He hung up and turned to Cloud, "Bad news. Your Godson and the man he was trying to arrested..."
"By S.H.E.I.L.D.?" The former SOILDER asked. Eirk nodded, "Yeah. You have any ideas?"
"I've dealt with S.H.E.I.L.D. before. They'll listen to me. I can get them out of there." Cloud replied as he sped up his bike.
"Who are you two? You just made my men, the most highly trained men of this world, look like a bunch of minamuim-wage mall cops aginst those monsters. That's hurtful." Agent Coluson asked Thor and Sora. Both people were currently in in custody by S.H.E.I.L.D. and they were sitting chairs in a room full of one way windows. "Sorry, we just wanted to help." Sora apologized.
"And we appreciate what you did but it takes someone who received similar training to do what you did to those monsters. Where did you receive your training?" Coluson asked. Sora hesitated at first before responding, "I was trained in Arrendelle. I had lean some good sword fighting from my mentor, Leon, but I mostly practice with my friends back home."
"Arrendelle? Never heard of it." Coluson questioned. Sora shrugged, "Probably because it's very far away from here. My big sister, and friends are trying to find a way back." Coluson stared at the prince for a moment before responding, "Alright." He then turned to Thor, "And what about you? Where did you receive your training? Pakistan? Chechnya? Afghanistan? No, you strike me as for more the solider for fortune type. Where was it? South America? Certain groups would pay well for a good mercany like you."
"Sir, may I have permission to speak on his behalf?" Sora asked. The agent nodded. "Well, I may not known him for very long but I don't think a mercany, a pirate, a bounty hunter, or anything like that. I think he's just a guy who's trying to fit in to this new evoriment but also wants to get to his home as well. We thought this saltailite, hammer was the key. I only wanted to help him find his way. He said he would help me if we got it back." Sora finished.
"Kid, your young. You'd understand why I don't trust this guy when your older. But it does leave one question, who are you?" Phill asked. "I'm Sora and I'm not a kid, I'm 15. I'm a teenager." Sora replied. Thor remained quiet. "One way or another, we'll find out what we need to know." The agent told Thor, he then turned to Sora, "If your telling the truth, and since your the only one willing to give us some answers, then we'll only ask you a few more questions and you'll be free to go. I'm going to get some Coffee, can I get you two anything?"
Thor remained silent before Sora asked, "Um...if it's not to much trouble, could I have some hot chocolate and some cookies?" Coluson smiled, "I'll see we can do." He walked out of the room. Sora turned to Thor, "You know, besides that fact he stole Jane's stuff, he dosen't seem like a bad guy. So, why won't you talk to him?"
"Loki!" Thor said in surprise. Sora rasied an eyebrow, "Huh?" He the turned to what Thor was looking at and he saw a man in a green trench coat in the room. "Whoa! How'd you get in here? Who are you?" Sora asked. Thor turned Sora, "It's okay, he's my brother, Loki."
"Oh, nice to meet you Loki. I'm Sora." Sora smiled polity. Loki nodded, "Pleasure."
"What are you doing here?" Thor asked. "I had to see you." Loki replied. "What happened? Tell me. Is it Jotunheim? Let me explain to father." Thor asked in concern. Loki frowned, "Father is dead."
"What?" This news brought shock to Thor and Sora. "I'm...sorry. I know what it's like." Said Sora. Thor asked, "What happened?"
"Your banishment, the threat of a new war, it was just too much for him." Loki explained. Thor was horrified by this information, Loki saw this, "You mustn't blame yourself. I know you loved him."
"I tried to tell him so, but he wouldn't listen. It was so cruel to put your hammer in your reach, knowing you could never lift it. The burden of the the thrown falls to me now." Loki explained. Sora looked to him, "So your now King?"
"Yes." Loki awnsered. Thor looked to his brother, "Can I come home?" Loki shook his head, "I'm afraid not."
"Wha-... But he's your brother! Why can't you let him come home?!" Sora asked. Loki turned to Sora, "Because of Thor's attack on the Frost Giants, they have threatened to declared war on Asgard. The truce with Jotunheim is conditional upon my brother's exile. I don't like it anymore than you do."
"Couldn't you find another way..." Sora hoped Thor's brother would do something. "No, even our own mother has forbbined his return." Sora and Thor were horrorfied by this. "Maybe...maybe she's just upset right now. I'm sure she still loves Thor despite everything that's happened recently."
"I wish that was the case..." He turned to Thor, "...but this is goodbye, brother. I'm so sorry." Thor looked so sad. Sora couldn't even think of banishing either Elsa or Anna. Sora couldn't even speak. He said nothing else as he listen to conversation between Thor and Loki. "No. I am sorry. Thank you for coming here." Thor said as his tear were beginning to fall.
"Farewell." Loki said before vanishing. Coluson entered the room with hot chocolate for Sora as Thor said, "Goodbye." Coulson turned to Thor, "Goodbye? I just got back." Coluson handed Sora the hot chocolate, "Sorry, we didn't have any cookies at the moment." Sora gave a small smile as he took a sip of his drink, "It okay. It's good."
Just then another agent entered the room, "Sir, we have a visitor." Coulson turned to the other agent, "Tell him we're busy." However, the agent remained, "It's Cloud. He says he wants to talk to you personally." Phill signed, "Tell him, I'm on my way."
He turn to Sora and Thor, "Wait here. And enjoy the beverage." Coulson left the room.
Coulson walked outside to see Dr. Selvig and a fimillar looking man. Cloud stared at the agent, "Coulson."
"Strife." Phill nodded. "What brings you here?"
"I've been told you've arrested Sora and someone else after he saved your men from the Heartless." Cloud answered. "He's being very cooperative, I believe his tell us the truth, we just need to ask him a few more questions and he's free to go. The other man is a mystery though. Why is it your concern?" Coulson asked.
"Sora's my Godson. And he's the son of Zack Fair." Cloud responded. Coulson nodded, "He dosen't know, does he?"
"He will now. Release Sora and that other man. They're no threat to Fury." Cloud pointed out. "The boy? No, we both agree on that. Especially since I have a felling he's following his father's footsteps. The other man? I don't think so."
"I have a felling if he wanted to hurt anyone. He done it already. But I keep an eye, just to be safe. Refuse, and go have a word with Fury on this. He knows he dosen't want me as an enemy." Cloud said as he reached for his sword. The other agents pulled out there wepeons at Cloud. Eirk took a few steps back. Cloud didn't even show any fear. "Tell them, they'd just be wasting bullets and arrows."
Coulson eyes narrowed before he gave the next order.
"Come on, Thor. It's not your fault." Sora said to Thor. Thor looked down, "But it is. If I only listen to my father's words. If I hadn't acted so rationally against the Frost Giants I wouldn't have started the threat of war. Father was right I am not fit to be king. If anyone deserves the right to be king it should be Loki."
"If it makes you feel any better. I know what it was like to be banished." Genie said as he appeared. "it was before I met Sora. My master wished the existence of anchovy pizza and then blamed to me for everyone not like it so his people banished me from... Oh...what was it called agian... Weasel Town... Well, whatever it was, he used his final wish to send me so far away for making the worst food known to man. Then I met Sora..."
Sora and Thor turned to Genie with a odd look but Sora turned to Thor, "Okay, so, we've all made pentally of mistakes and sins were not too proud of. But instead of looking down on those things, you can learn for those things to help you become a better man. It's never to late to make your father proud even in death." Thor looked to Sora and smiled, "I see now why did Keyblade chose you. Sora, thank you..."
"Hey, what are friends for." Sora said. "You consider me your friend?" Thor asked. Sora nodded, "I may not known you as long as Riku and Kairi but I know a good friend when I see one."
Sora offered Thor his hand, "Friends?" Thor smiled and shook it, "Friends. I may not be able to help you in the upcoming battle aginst Xehanort but I can give you and Jane any information you need and help you talk your sister out of marry a total stranger." Sora chuckled, "Thanks we need all the help we can get to make Anna reconsider..."
Just then the door opened and Erik and a man with blond spiky hair walked in. "It's okay. Coulson says your free to go." The man with the huge sowrd told them. Sora and Thor got up their seats, "Thanks Eirk and... who are you?"
"I'll explain once we get out of here." The man replied. Thor and Eirk walked side by side as did Sora and Cloud. Sora returned the drink to Phil Coulson and thanked him for the beavage while Cloud just glared at Coulson and whipeared, "There better not be anything in that drink."
Thor was able to steal Jane's book back without the Agents noticing. As soon as they got to Cloud's motorcycle Eirk wanted to walk Thor back. Said he wanted a man to man talk with him. So as Cloud drove Sora back, Sora asked, "So...who are you?"
"Cloud. I was a good friend of your father." Cloud explained. Sora turned to Cloud, "You knew my father?" Cloud nodded, "Yes, you could say we we're best friends."
"Cool... So thanks for the help but you didn't need to help me. They would have let me go." Sora thanked him. "I know. But I had I make sure my Godson was okay." Cloud explained.
"Oh... So why aren't you with Thor?" Sora asked. Cloud shook his head with an aummused smile, "He's not my Godson. You are."
"Oh...Wha...YOUR MY GODFATHER?!" Exclaimed a shocked Sora. "I assume you have some questions?" Cloud assumed. "Tons! I... Wow... Just... Where've you been in my life?!"
"Let's met up with your friends. Then I tell you everything you want answered. But first things first... What are you doing here? Your supposed to be in Arrendelle." Cloud asked. Sora laughed nervously as he explained everything to him.
Meanwhile...
"So... How'd it go with Thor?" Larxene asked the Prince of Mischief. Loki smirked, "It went even better than I hoped. He really believe our father is dead and now the throne of Asgard belongs to me. And very soon he will believe I deserve the title as King of Asgard when the Heartless consume Jotunheim and bring peace to Asgard."
"Seems like everything is going your way. And what of the so called 'Prince of Arredelle.'" Larxene asked with a grin. "Even more naive that Xehanort has told me. I almost feel bad for him. In fact, history wise we are much alike. We'd probably been best friends if he'd saw the true riches of the throne." Loki proclaimed. "But he's not and Xehanort wants him out of the way." Said another voice.
A corridor of darkness opened and a man with long blond hair wear a coat idendentical to Larxene stepped out. "Vexen." Larxene said. "You've obviously see Sora as a great threat but I remain convinced but the lack of data. I believe an experiment is in order to prove how insignificant he really is." Vexen told them.
"Well, here we go again. It's just an excuse for you to test your little experiments." Larxene rolled her eyes. Vexen just grinned, "I'm a sciencetist. Experiments are what I do, yes."
"Whatever, this my territory. You're supposed to be keeping an eye on the Snow Queen." Larxene pointed out. "True but the Superoir wanted me drop off some of his goons to capture the final princess of heart so I decided to lead you two a hand before I return to my position." Vexen said as he handed Loki a device. "Just place this device on the Destroyer and you should have complete control over it."
Loki turned to the Orginazation Memeber, "I sure to put some good use into this. Give my thanks to your master." Vexen nodded before disappearing into darkness he said, "Don't try and break it."
"Do you think these... Beagle Boys can succeed in captureping the remaining Princess of Heart?" Loki asked the only female member of the Orginazation. "I'm sure even low-ranking dumb villains as they are, can do one simple job."
One of the Beagle Boys watched Princess Anna as she was having an dicussion with her friends, "There she is. I see her!"
"Shhhh! Queit down, they'll hear us." One the beagle boys told his brother. The smallest one then asked, "Hey guys, I wasn't really listening to what our bosses were saying. We're we supposed kidnap the princess and keep her safe or drop a safe on her?" They went into to deep thought on that, "I'd say drop a safe on her. That's seems more effective."
"Okay, let's get us a safe and smash the Princess, right now!" They cheered but then yawned afterwords. "Okay, how about after a nap and breakfast?" One suggested.
"Okay."
"I'm good with that." They all fell on the floor and fell straight to sleep.
"What's taken them so long?" Anna asked begining to worry about them. "I'm sure they're fine Anna. Eirk's smart he'll think of something to get them out of there." Jane reassured her. Stitch, Riku, Darcy, and Kristoff were roasting marshmallows. Kairi was petting her kitten, Aqua, was slightly worried for Sora too. She just wasn't showing it. Sven was fast asleep but he woke up when he heard something. "Sora's here." Kristoff said for Sven.
Anna quickly ran to brother to give him a hug. "Sora! Your okay! Didn't doubt for a second." Riku laughed, "Ha! Yeah right!" Anna stuck her tongue at Riku. Jane looked around, "So where's Thor?"
"He and Erik are walking back. Eirk said he want to talk to him." Sora explained. Jane signed in relief and nodded. Kairi hugged Sora as well without dropping her new kitten. Anna the smiled for happy couple but she noticed Cloud. "Okay, so who's this?"
"Um... Anna... You remember when I asked you about my Godparents?" Sora asked. Anna nodded, "Yeah, I told you everyone had Godparents but since we've never met yours, we just assume that mom and dad never pick you out your Godparent's since the gates closed. Why do you ask?"
"Well, as it turns out, they did. And this is him. His name is Cloud." Sora explained. Anna nodded, "Oh..." Look at Cloud for a second then back to Sora, then her eyes widened as she turned to Cloud, "WHA...?! Your his Godfather?!" Cloud nodded and Anna crossed her arms her eyes narrowed at Sora's Godfather, "I supposed you don't have any proof."
Cloud hands Anna an old photo. Anna inspects the photo, she saw Cloud, a dark hair woman holding baby with brown spiky hair in development. She knew the baby was Sora, she knew her brother anyway. She hands the photo back, "Okay I'm convinced..." After 30 seconds of glaring, Anna finally spoke up. "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN IN SORA'S LIFE?! OUR GODPARENTS WE'RE ONLY FEW THAT CAME TO VIST US WHEN THE GATES WERE CLOSED, BUT DID YOU VIST MY BROTHER ONCE?! NO! THE ONLY FAMILY SORA HAS BEEN WITH BESIDES ME HAD BEEN ELSA AND OUR PARENTS! SORA WAS ALWAYS SO LONELY WHEN OUR GODPARENTS VISITED! AND NOW 15 YEARS LATER YOU FIANLY SHOW UP ON A WHOLE DIFFERENT WORLD!" Anna yelled at Cloud who didn't even flinch. Sora and Kristoff were holding her back. "Anna, calm down." Sora told her.
"Yeah, I'm sure sure Sora's Godfather has an good excuse." Kristoff told her before turning to Cloud, "You do, right?" Kristoff even questioned why Sora's own Godfather never shown up in Sora's life. Riku, Kairi, Genine (who was siting back eating popcorn as he watched the scene), Sven, Carpet, Darcy and Jane had simalar looks to Kristoff. Sora was just as curious as the others, but frankly he was so happy to finally meet his Godfather. "Yes. I have some dangerous enemies, in patical, a man known as Sepheroith. If he knew about you... So I had to protect you from a distance untill he was gone. I got Stitch for Elsa to get for Sora's sixth birthday when I wasn't around..."
"Oh, so, that's how Elsa manged to get Stitch without mom and dad noticing!" Sora realized. Riku then asked, "Where did you get him from by the way?"
"He crash landed in a red ship in our backyard. Tifa was one who tamed him." Cloud explained. Jane rasied an eyebrow, "The dog's an alien?"
"That would explain why he talks." Darcy pointed out, Jane nodded. "Who's Tifa? Your wife? Sora's Godmother?" Kairi asked. "Both." Cloud answered. Anna still kept her glare, "That's not enough! Sora's born in a castle and surrounded by guards. I'm sure their more than capable to protect Sora, when he was younger...!"
"You mean like how they were 'able' to handle Axel and the Heartless..." Cloud pointed out. Anna looked at Sora, "You told him..."
"Uncle Cloud said he wants to help..." Sora explained. "Your calling him Unlce Cloud? You just met him for crying out loud!" Anna exclaimed. Everyone just looked with a smirk. Anna noticed this, "What?"
"Anna, how's this any different from you? Your marrying a man just met." Sora pointed out. Darcy eye's widened, "Wait, your sister marrying a man she just met?!" Anna screams, "IT'S...TRUE...LOVE!" She calmed down, "This is way different from Hans and I..."
"Yeah. Cloud's actual family, Hans isn't. Anyways, he said he and Aunt Tifa. Could help us find Elsa, stop Xehanort, and end this eternal winter. Uncle Cloud even knows what we up against. Come on, Anna. Trust me on this." Sora said. Anna stared at Cloud, "I don't trust Cloud and I'm not forgiving for never really visiting you..." Anna closed her eyes and signed, "But I do trust you, Sora. So, he tag along help...for now..."
"Thanks, Anna. You won't regret this!" Sora said. He then turned to Cloud, "So, what are we up aginst?"
"Okay, you know that there are many other worlds out there besides your castle and this town, right?" Cloud asked. Everyone not from this world nodded. They've been secret, because they've never been connected. Until now. When the Heartless came, it changed everything."
"The Heartless?" Sora repeated in confusion, his eye widened in relieazation, "Oh, those dark creatures that keep attacking us."
"Beings without hearts." Cloud nodded, ""The darkness in people's hearts that what attracts them and there is darkness within every heart. No one knows where they came from...well...there is one man who might know...Ansem."
"Ansem? Who's he?" Anna asked. "He was studying the Heartless. He recorded all of his findings in a very detailed reports. He was the ruler and the wisest man on his world. He was trying to find a way to stop the Heartless. However, Xehanort heard of this and somehow made himself younger and pretend he had amnesia, all so he could gain access to his information of the Heartless as his most bristest student. By the time, Ansem figured out Xehanort's scheme, he was too late. He somehow turned his own staff aginst him and kicked him out of his home and plunged it into the darkness." Cloud explained. Everyone was horrified by this. "Wha... How?" Kairi asked as she held on to Aqua, who just meowed.
"Most of Ansem's findings had be scattered to the other worlds. But I manged to find enough to know what happened. Each world has a Keyhole." Cloud began. Darcy then said, "I'm going on a limp here and I'm thinking it's not a door lock." Cloud shock his head, "No, it's so much more. This Keyhole leads to the very heart of a world. If the Heartless find it and get inside it. They can consume the heart and bring in everything into darkness with everyone still on it. That's was stars have been dispearing." Everyone was speechless. "No...how... There's gotta be a way to stop them!" Sora exclaimed.
"There actually is. And it involves around you, Sora." Cloud told his Godson. Everyone turned to Sora. "Me?" Sora asked. Cloud nodded, "That wepeon you've received. It's called a Keyblade. The Heartless have great fear over it because it's the only thing that can destroy them. It can also impower the Keyblade weilder's allies so they can destroy them as well."
"That explains why the guards and those agents wepeons didn't have any effect of them untill Sora gain his powers." Kairi realized. Anna then shook her head, "No! Sora can't fight an army of Heartless. I don't like what the Heartless are doing but he can't go to every world destroying everyone of those monsters even with our help."
"He dosen't have to. The Keyblade has the ablitly lock or unlock anything." Cloud explained. "How that have to do with..." Riku began as his eyes widened in realization, "Oh!" Cloud nodded, "Bingo. Sora, as you, Anna, and your friends search for Elsa. You have to go to find the Keyhole to each world and lock it shut. That way the Heartless can't get to the heart of it and the people might have a better chance to stop the Heartless for over takening their world."
"But... I've never asked for this." Sora said as he looked at his Keyblade. "The Keyblade chooses it's master and it chose you. So tough luck." Cloud said. Sora nodded, "Okay, I'll do it." He then turned to Anna, "Anna...?"
"Okay. You were right. This is allot bigger than we thought it was. We have to help anyway we can. Elsa and the winter can wait a few more days." Anna nodded. Sora smiled. Kristoff then turn to Sora's Godfather, "So, how do you know about the Keyblade? Was it in Ansem's reports?"
"Sora's father told me. He was friends with a few of them." Cloud explained. "Excuse me?" Anna gave Cloud annoyed looked, "He's my father too you know." Cloud shook his head, "I wasn't referring to the King, I was referring to Sora's birthfather."
Everyone stared at Cloud. "Huh? What do you mean?" Sora asked.
"Sora, you were adopted."
Ah, cliffhangers... Don't you just hate them. Sorry to do this but I thought I would save the reaction for the next chapter. First, no Anna is not a Princess of Heart. If you played the first game, you know who the last Princess is. Second, the Beagle Boys are in their Musketeer appearance, and their not smart so they would think Anna is the princess their after. Third, the events of Birth by Sleep did happen, it just slightly different so Zack met Ven, Terra, and Aqua before they met him in the prequel. So I thought I'd give you a heads up in case your confused how they'd met Zack if he died five years ago. Anyways, I'm getting a PS4 for Christmas so I'll be able to play KH3 after all. What world's are you hoping will be in KH3? Leave your answer with your review. And as always remember to fav, follow, and review and I'll see you next time...
