I don't own Kingdom or Frozen. They belong to Disney and Square Enix. Well, summers almost over. Crazy how quickly how it goes by. Hopefully, it'll be feel like that when waiting for KH3...yeah, probably not. Anyways, let's reply to some reviews...
Mickol93: I'm glad you enjoyed the chapter. Yeah, but Vader doesn't give up just yet. Nothing Sora can't handle...
NinjaFang1331: Thank you and yeah, Sora's strength is growing as the story goes through. Nice to here more from you. :)
Guest: Mostly, yeah. But I haven't really played Dream Drop Distance because I don't own a 3DS. But I should be able to play it when 2.8 comes out this December. Can't wait!
kingdom hearts guy: Well, I hope you enjoy!
Prequel Hater: You know Mulan can fight in hand to hand combat too right? Yeah, you probably do. Also remember this is Fanfiction. No one is going to be 100% accurate to there original counter part. Yes, in the main KH universe Riku isn't afraid of heights at all and in here you find it obnoxious. I hear ya. But other than that he's still the same Riku except he never turned in a jerk because the darkness and Maleficent didn't use him so of coarse he's going to be a little different. Sora being raised by the King and Queen also made him different too. But everyone is still the same except Xehanort's a little OOC because of the whole revenge thing...but you understand that part...but I do like you telling me these things! It's good to hear what you think of this so far and since your still reading this means your still somewhat enjoying this...
saliorsenshi13: Yeah, it may not appear in here but I can still reference it. It was one of my favorite movies during my childhood...
Guest: Umm...I'm not excatly sure how to respond to this because it feels like you not excatly hating my fanfic but more so of the original movie and since you can't really complain it to them you decide to complian it to me. Dude, if you hate the movie then why are you reading this fanfic? Do you love Kingdom Hearts but hate Forzen? Because this fanfic was made for those who love the KH series and Frozen...If you don't like one of those then ya don't read the story. And it's most likely it's going to appear in KH3 so you might have to deal with it then. It's okay, I'd understand you don't have to read this if your not a fan of one of the original titles...And I know both reviews we're you because I feel like you continued off right from your last one...saying pretty much the same thing...
Is Og Ild: Thank you and I hope enjoy the game because as I meantioned before I don't own a 3DS so I never played it.:( but I will when 2.8 comes out so I'm looking forward to it. :) I heard recently the original planned Treasure Plant and Radiant Guardian were supposed to be in the game but were not included afterwords. Oh, well, maybe in KH3. I so hope we get to fight Vader in KH3 or another game because that would be so awesome! And I didn't mean to forget carpet! How could I?! That's why I made the joke...:)
Well, with that out of the way...LET'S DO THIS!
Chapter 54: Escape from Lothal
The Rebels sat there quietly as Sora finished telling them what had happened to his father and what they have been doing, "...and that's our story so far. Hopefully, with the training I received from Master Yoda and the help of my sister and friends we can convice Elsa to bring back summer and finish my father's fight aginst Xehanort."
"...I can't believe this..." Zeb only response as he frown. Sabine nodded, "I know Zack had made tons of enemies as he did friends...but I'd never imaged someone, other than the Empire, would go through all of that..." Kanan looked to Sora, "I'm truly sorry of what happened to your father..."
"We all are..." Hera nodded. Ezra frowned, Orginzation XIII, they were just as bad as the Empire was. They took Sora's family because his father stood in their way. He knew how that was like, except Sora never got the chance to even know his real parents because of them. Ezra asked, "Is there anything we can do to help you guys?"
"What about your fight with the Empire? Isn't that the whole reason you guys banned together?" Ron asked. Kanan replied, "We can decide how to help you guys later. First things first. We need to get off this world and rejoin the others to see what they think about all this."
"Kanan's right. We're cablable of handle Heartless, we're not read to fight two completely different wars." Cap nodded. Sora asked, "But then what will happen to this world?" Anna placed a hand on her brothers shoulder, "Sora, this world is already been taken. I don't think they'll let the Heartless consumed this world but there's no way we can take back this one. Vader caught us so off graud none of us are at full strength other than you."
"What you kidding? Just put me in a room with Vader alone and I can take him, one arm tied behind my back." Riku denied. Olaf began to tie on of Riku's arms behind his back, "Um...Olaf? What are you doing? You do know I didn't mean it literally, right?"
"But I saw your lips move." Olaf replied, "I have full confidence in you! I don't care if Prequl Hater says your OOC!" Riku rasied an eyebrow, "OOC? Why? My personality is following just fine compared to the canon version of me."
"Didn't you read his reveiw?" Kairi asked. Riku rasied an eyebrow and quickly looked over to the review section of this fanfic, "Okay, let's see...oh, here we go...'How is Mulan gonna fight now that her sword is all sliced up?'" Mulan crossed her arms, "They do know I'm capable of hand to hand combat too, right? They've all seen my movie, right?"
"Okay, but what about me? Let see, 'Anyway what I really wanted to talk to you about was Riku, he's really OOC. in the games he was a hard core tough guy with a heart of gold, which is why we love him. But here he's some form of comic relief with a fear of heights which is really getting old. What you're doing to Riku is like what Sonic Boom did to Knuckles it needs to change?' What? Okay, so I have a little fear heights which I'll neither confirm nor deny, but I'm still me. Sure, I'm not 100% accurate to my counterpart, but have to remember this is fanfiction...nothing or no one going to get it perfect. They can only do the best they can but I'm still the same Riku you all know and love. I just don't start off as a jerk you want to beat in a boss fight..."
Okay Riku, Prequel Hater already heard my response. Everyone has a right to their own opion. Now, will you quit arguing with the readers and move on with the chapter?
"But..."
Riku! Leave Prequel Hater alone!
"Alright, fine!" Riku replied with his arms crossed as he mumbled, "At least, I get a chance to get a girl in this version." Hera stood up and told everyone, "Well, that settles it. I'm going to make to orbit so we can jump away."
"Hera, no. He'll will have a blockade waiting for us." Kanan warned her. Sabine added, "And this ship is slow and barely has any weapons or shields. We're going to have to smuggle ourselves off a Lothal for a change." Kim asked, "Could Genie telport us to a new world the Empire hasn't conquered?"
"Sorry guys, but Sora's wish was to go to worlds that needed our help. I can't take us anywhere until he closes the Keyhole." Genie frowned. Hercules added, "And this place is crawling with Stormtroopers. I don't think we're getting any where near that Keyhole."
"We may not need to." Kanan spoke up. Ezra turned to him, "What is it, Kanan?" Kanan replied, "When I was a youngling, I read stuff about the Keyblade and everything connected to it. There was a rumor that one of the first Jedi discovered a Keyhole in the center of our galaxy and it connected to all of the worlds of this galaxies Keyholes. If Sora locks that Keyhole then all the Keyholes should lock up as well."
"Well, that just leaves one problem. How do we get off the planet to find it?" Zeb asked. Hera replied, "Well, what Sabine said earlier isn't such a bad idea." Anna asked, "What are you thinking?"
"Your highness, it just so happens we know the right man to smuggle us off world." Hera replied as she went to the polit seat. The rest of rebels realized who she was talking about. All at once they said, "Not him!" Sora asked, "What? Who she talking about?"
"Lando Calrissian. He's a professional smuggler and gambler..." Zeb groweled as Ezra finished, "...as well as schemer, cheapskate, and a huge jerk." Kristoff growned, "Seriously? Is there on every world?"
"Is there anything we can do to convice him to help us?" Sora asked. Kanan shrugged, "Unlikely, but you never know. Let's go..."
Meanwhile, Darth Vader had just returned for the medical center, where he received now armor. He stood there looking at the window. Sora had preciously defeated him in combat. Vader made a mistake. He had underestimated the boy, it wouldn't happen again. Just then, Agent Kallus entered the room, "My Lord, our scanners show the stolen shuttle has not attempted to leave the system."
"Fear has drivin them to ground. There is a refugee camp, the rebels have provided aid for them in the past." Vader replied. Kallus nodded, "Yes, Takan town, I believe they call it. You suspect the rebels maybe are in hiding there?" Vader answered, "No, I want you to burn it. The Rebels and the heroes of light compassion is a weakness. One we will exploit."
"As you wish, my Lord." Kallus turned to leave before stopping to ask, "Oh, and what if we see those two special people you wanted us to keep an eye out." Vader gave it a moment of thought before responding, "I want the girl unharmed. I would prefer the boy alive but kill him if you have no other option." Agent Kallus nodded, "Consider it done."
With that Kallus left the room. As soon as he left a corridor of darkness opened up, an two Organization XIII members came out. Zexion and Lexaeus walked up to Vader, "Lord Vader, as much as it would pleased our Superior would be as the last of Fairs was killed. You do know we still need him to claim Kingdom Hearts."
"And he's not too please to hear that you've actutaly planned use him to betray us." Lexaeus added. The Sith Lord replied, "Xehanort only sees who his family is. The only potential, he sees in him is the weapon. The boy is much more capable than that. Master Yoda has trained him only a few hours and he already close to become a Keyblade Master. The Emperor would prefer it he'd join us in the dark side or be destroyed. I answer to no one else."
"Funny, when you first joined us, you wanted to overthrow the emperor but now, you want obey your master? Will you make up your mind?" Zexion chuckled. Vader changed the subject, "What brings you two here?"
"The Riku Replica...Vexen wants a report." Zexion replied. Vader answered, "Like as planned he framed the heroes of light were reasonable as everyone else thought it was the rebels. Which caused conflict in the two groups. But girl intervened and was able to talk reason to both groups. And the replica engaged the real Riku when he wasn't supposed to. The project had potential but it is failure due his desire to be better than his real self."
"That is...unfortunate. Vexen will not be pleased." Lexaeus replied. Zexion shook his head, "Maybe not. He might still be some use to us. As the clone of Sepheroith's son, we no longer need Riku or Sepheroith." Lexaeus nodded, "Then we must deal with the original and those who fight for the Keyblade Master."
"I will deal with them myself." Vader told them as he left the room to continue with his own plans. Zexion signed, "I suppose we won't be able to talk him out of it. I know of his plan and he risks both the princess and the Keybladers lives."
"I will take care of it. I will deal with the heroes allies and make sure that both targets are kept sucre for now. Personally." Lexaeus stated. Zexion looked to him, "Lexaeus, it's too dangerous. You can't beat them all. I'll come along as back up."
"No. Your are need on Justin Hammer's world. Besides it is better this way. Vader won't destroy everything we've worked up for." Lexaeus answered. Zexion signed, "Then good look." With that they disappeared in corridors of darkness...
Back on the stolen shuttle, Kanan and Sora joined Hera as she contacted Lando. He appeared in hologram form, the man smiled, "Captian Syndulla! What a pleasant surprise! What can do do you for?" Kanan just glared at him, "We're not here to chat, Lando! We're here to talk about business! We need your help. We need to smuggle... something...off of Lothal...
"...and past a blockade of Star Destroyers." Hera added. Lando replied, "You know, if the Empire knows I'd help you past the blockade, it'd be all over for me. I'd be taking an awfully big risk. What's in it for me?" Sora offered , "An act of kindness which will help not only yourself but those around you." Lando brusted out laughing at Sora's response, Sora looked to his new allies, "What's so funny? Was it something I said?"
"Ah, kid, that hilarious." Lando chuckled, "Look your only 10..." Sora's eyes narrowed and corrected, "15..." Lando continued, "...and if that were true, anyone could get away with anything. Now, I'll ask again...what's in it for new?"
"What do you want?" Kanan asked. The man shrugged, "Well, what do you got?" Hera replied, "Imperial shield genterators, military grade." Lando smiled, "Oh, now that's merchandise I can use. How many do you have?"
"Two." Hera lied. Sora thought innocently, "Two? But I thought I counted six." Kanan and Hera turned to him, "SORA!" Sora look confused as Lando laughed agian, "What? What did I do?"
"Ah! Gotta love the childhood innocence...Nice try, Captain, but I saw your gamble a mile away, so I saw half is probably fair." He chuckled. Hera exclaimed, "Fair?! You're taking half!"
"Those sheilds won't do you any good if your dead." Lando pointed out. Sora felt guilty, he didn't mean to let Lando want more than the original offered. If only there was a way...wait, maybe there was. Before anyone could answer to Lando's terms, Sora told everyone, "Hold that thought."
Sora quickly ran out of the room, while waiting for him to return, Lando asked, "So...how long have you known that kid?" Hera replied, "Almost an hour." Just then, Sora returned with Kairi, who currently held Aqua in her arms. "Hey, Lando meet my best friend Kairi. She's going convice you to take our friends' original offer."
"Oh, really? Alright, I'll bite. How's she gonna convince me?" He asked. He soon found himself regretting asking the adopted Prince that as Kairi gave Lando the puppy dog pout, "Like this."
"Nice try but I-I dealt with woman before...it's not going to work." Lando replied, trying to sound convicing. Kanan smirk, "Oh, really? Then how come your trying to look away?" Kairi whimpered as a tear slide down her check. Lando turned to a grinning Sora, "You play dirty...fine...I'll just take the two sheild genterators...it'll be enough... I won't be there in person...thank God...but my droid will give you what you need. Just make her stop!"
Kairi beamed, "Thank you!" Lando muttered, "Out smarted by kids...who would have thought..." The transmission ended there. Hera replied, "Well...I'm impressed." Kanan thought to himself, "Yeah, that girl has a strong light. Is she the last Princess of Heart Xehanort is searching for? Everyone else says it's Anna...but...maybe it's her..."
"Sora...you own me..." Kairi smirked. Sora blushed, "Yeah...I know..." As Kairi left to join the others, Sora noticed Kanan and Hera smiling at them, "What?" Kanan shook his head, "Nothing...just noticing how much you and your father are alike."
"Really? Thanks." Sora smiled. Hera told them, "We'll be joining with Lando's checkpoint soon. Strap yourself in." Sora nodded as he went to join the others. Hera said, "He's clueless...he clearly likes her. And more just as a friend..."
"He does...But I wasn't lying when I said that he and his father were alike. I saw it when Sora first confronted the Sith Lord and it's been growing the longer we know him..." Hera turned to him, "Kanan...it's alright, if you want to go one to help him. The others feel the same..."
"I know...but we need to be sure before they leave to the next world." Kanan replied. Soon the stole shuttle landed where Lando's driod was. Everyone walked out of the shuttle, as Hera greated the droid waiting for them, "You must be Lando's droid."
"Yes, ma'am. Welcome." The droid replied. Ron geeked out, "Wow! A real Robot! This is so cool!" Rufus nodded as Chopper grumbled. Ron replied, "Yeah, I mean a robot that actually speaks, not one the grumbles at everything you say." With that response, Chopper zapped him, "Ow! Hey! Uncool dude!"
Kim groaned, she saw this one coming a mile away. The droid continued, "I have prepared everything you need incorriding to Master Calrissian's instructions. Is one of a mechanic?" Sabine walked up, "That must be me." Both Chopper and Stitch grumbled otherwise. She turned to them as they follow Lando's droid, "Definitely not you two."
"Tell us what to do and we'll help you with anything you need." Cap stated. Riku nodded, "Yeah, we're quick learners." Sabine nodded, "Alright, I could use some extra hands." Ezra was about to follow, when he saw smoke in the distance, the young Jedi's eyes widend as he regonized the place. Ezra turned to Sora, "Could you help me get over there? I think that there's innconet people introuble."
"You only needed to ask. Carpet!" Sora called out. Carpet know what this meant and flew towards them. They quickly hopped on. Zeb tried to call out to them but Kanan stopped him, "Let them go." Carpet flew them towards the smoke, soon they arrived and the whole villiage was burning. Sora wondered, "What is this place?"
"Takan Town. These were all the people were outcastes to the Empire, we've helped them on serval occasion but now...there's nothing left." Ezra explained. "They been taken prisoner by the Empire now." Kanan said. They two turned to see that Kanan and Cloud had followed them by speeder. As they walked up to the boys, Cloud added, "Or worse...consumed by the Heartless."
"God help them. Why would they do this?" Sora asked. Kanan replied, "To spread fear. Make us afraid. It keeps getting worse, even back in my day. But back then there were more than 10,000 Jedi Knights to defend this galaxy."
"Now it's just us." Ezra finished. Sora shook his head, "Don't forget about us, too. We're not going just let the Empire to get away with this." Kanan signed, "Thanks, kid. But we're still aginst an Empire here."
"We can still fight. We have other allies." Ezra pointed out as Sora nodded. The older Jedi turned to them, "Do you understand what you two are saying? Do you know what we're up against? Look at what has happened. We don't stand a chance."
"I'm not afraid." Ezra stated. Kanan frowned, "And that's what worries me." Sora spoke up, "You know...before the Empire...there has been allot of bad people out there and people believe they couldn't win...and yet in the end, with God's help...they won. I don't believe you're gonna to give up. Not when there's a chance, you can bring freedom to the Galaxy. Just remember, God's got our backs and there's nothing we can't do."
Ezra smiled, "Thanks, Sora...If you believe we can stop the Empire with God's help, then I believe you as well." Kanan whispers to Cloud, "It's like I'm stand infront of his father, right now."
"Like father, like son." Cloud smirked. Sora told everyone, "Let's go join the others and figure out how to escape this world." Everyone nodded as the left the burning town.
"What happened back there?" Hera asked as they rejoined the group. Cloud replied, "The Empire burned Takan Town. The Heartless consumed what remained." Anna gasped, "My God..." Zeb groweled, "Then let's give them some payback. Where's my rifle?"
"Sorry, Zeb. We'll stop the Empire later right now we need to leave this world and find the Keyhole." Kairi stopped him. Zeb signed. Sora spoke up, "So...what's the plan for leaving Lothal?"
"Lando has these old transponders laying around. Sabine gonna match there signal to the same as the shuttles." Cap told them. Kanan turned to Zeb, "Sounds like a lousy Lando plan." Zeb grinned and nodded. Sabine corrected them, "No, it was Lando's gear, it was Captain Rogders and my plan. With these transponders transposing we should be able to slip past them unnoticed."
"This sounds like a lazy Sabine plan." Zeb corrected. Riku defended her, "Hey, it's a good plan. Probably better than any other idea we can come up with." Sora nodded, "Yeah, and I believe in Sabine and Cap's plan. You guys need to think more positive."
"Well, better than Lando's." Kanan nodded. Donald grinned, "Then let's do this!" Pluto barked happyily. Soon everyone was back on the shuttle, as the ship stared so did the transponders as the flew around to random spots above the planet. Kanan smiled, "The Empire's taken the bait. The fighters are splitting up."
"Let's make out exit." Hera said. The TIE fighters and Heartless tried taking out the decoies but Stitch modified them so the fought back with lots of lasers and rockets. Stitch laughed as he was the one controlling them. Sora frowned, "Alright, who gave Stitch coffee."
Everyone pointed to Zeb, who shrugged, "What?! He rocks when he's on coffee!" Sora signed as Kairi comforted him. Soon by the time the Empire realized which one was the real deal. They were long gone...but the Empire still had some trick up their sleeves...as well as the Orginzation...
Alright, how's a good place to stop. Just one more chapter before moving on to the next world. I was even nice enough to hint at what the next world would be in the chapter. Next time, everyone rejoins the rest alliance and Ashoka and Sora receives some amor but they get tracked down by Darth Vader and Lexasus. Can our heroes survive there assult? Can Riku resist the temptation of darkness? Will everyone quit breaking the fourth wall? Again, I'd like to apologize to Prequel Hater for Riku's complaining. I do like hearing from everyone. The next time our heroes want talk about reviews, I'll be sure there responses are positive. I hoped you enjoyed the chapter. Leave a review of your thoughts. Also, if you haven't, be sure to follow and fav. See you next time!
