Chapter 3
(I'd like to thank my only two reviewers. It means a lot to know someone is reading this. ^^; I love Kingdom Hearts, and I can get away with crossover galore, so long as it doesn't screw with the storyline, ne? To anyone who stumbles on this, I implore you to leave a review. It's one of the things that lets me know how my writing is and how into the characters you are. Critiques are welcomed, but none of that "U suxxors!!!!! LOL!!!" that only shows me how stupid people are and my respect for the human race has dwindled. Oh yes, a bit of fluff in this chapter, kinda. Oh and after the third chapter, would you like to see? Cloud and Skye, Leon, Yuffie, and Aeris, Sephiroth and Syphony, or Ansem explaining the Crystal Heart fully? In which order. Okies. ^^)
World: Hyrule
The wind rushed up from the deep canyon below three figures, ruffling clothes and hair to its direction. Two men and one woman stood at the broken bridge of Gerudo Valley now wondering how to cross the gap. There was no way to jump over it, which was suicide in itself. A long fall only to land in the deadly rapids of Zora's River wasn't very comforting of a thought. Also the fact that their bodies would've ended up in Lake Hylia, the most serene and peaceful location of this world, well it made one shudder.
Ahmara kept her amber colored eyes away from the cliff, and quietly snuck her hand into her lover's. The wind grabbed her long chestnut brown hair and blew it back behind her like a banner. She wore a white bell-sleeved top and black jeans that fit snugly to her body. Two sharp rapiers hung down from her belt.
Her boyfriend, James, watched the Hylian in front of them. Deep blue eyes reflected the silhouette of the native, pulling out a gun with a hook and chain connecting it. Light brown hair fell around his face, giving him a disheveled look. He wore simple clothing, a blue open shirt with a white one underneath, and a dirty pair of jeans. He had no apparent weapons, except for the gauntlets adorned with multi-colored gems, which gave him the abilities of a mage.
"You're sure that will get us across, Link?" James asked, untrusting of the weapon.
The blonde nodded his head, brushing a few strands from his sapphire blue eyes. He looked calmly to the two, holding out a hand towards Ahmara to bring her over.
The woman gulped a little and held her breath as she stepped up to the Hero of Time. Link wrapped his arm tightly around her waist and took aim towards the boards across the gap. Ahmara held tightly to the man, getting a reassuring pat by the fairy Navi.
"Hang on."
The Long-shot fired, the hook careening towards its destination, and caught the wood. The gun took hold of the chain and began pulling itself towards the steel hook. Link and Ahmara were sent across the valley at a deathly speed. Ahmara thought they were going to hit the boards until Link swung himself downwards, loosening the hook and sending them down to the dirt ridden ground.
Ahmara sat up, with the help of Link, and made her way up the remaining steps. Link turned and repeated the process with James, so now the group was brought over and making their way towards the thieves hideout.
"These Gerudos don't sound too friendly," James murmured, remembering what Link had told them.
"I'm friends with their leader, Nabooru. They have no reason to attack us. Although your clothes will appear strange to them."
"This is coming from a man who wears tights?"
Link glared at James before the two men broke out laughing. Ahmara rolled her eyes at the sight; at least they can get through this with a smile. She remembered the argument James was having with some plumber named Mario, about the Princess being a natural blonde, she certainly acted like it. Sad to say, they were unable to find the crystal heart, only a mirror that was absorbing the light. James destroyed it quickly before Ahmara's heart was taken.
"What the heck happened here?"
The group looked up, surprise in their eyes. The Gerudo Fortress, once regal was now in ruin. Smoke rose along with the embers of a raging fire, while the rich shade of red, dripped slowly down the walls.
World: Traverse Town
"Why won't it open?" Elise asked, glancing over Riku's shoulder.
Riku sighed, and kicked the door angrily, his eyes a blaze. He turned, spinning Elise around to check the wound she had, the blood was still flowing, but showed signs of clotting.
"Max, go see if Cid is in his shop." The young man ordered.
"Sure." Max said, raising his eyebrows at Riku before turning and running up the stares. The man only glared at the spot where the anthro dog once stood. He looked about ready to snap Max in two because of his innuendoes.
A soft giggle caught his ears and he turned to look down at Elise who was resting on her stronger hand. Riku smiled a little at her as he knelt down, pulling out a long piece of cloth and pressing it against her shoulder blade.
"You scared me back there." Riku announced after a few quiet moments.
"How so?" she replied, looking up at him. Riku could only stare at her a few moments; the expression and the position of her body made her look so fragile and innocent. He could spend eternity sitting close and staring at her in this moment where she looked so small.
"Riku?"
"Heh, I'm sorry." The man chuckled, brushing his hair from his sea green eyes, "I heard you scream in pain, it made my heart freeze. In that short second I thought I could've lost you. that was stupid of me. I should know better not to think you're weak."
"You better not." Elise said with a grin, receiving a smile back.
"I'm just afraid that, I may lose you Elise."
"Look, Riku," Elise started, biting her lower lip slightly, "I know the consequences of fighting the Heartless, I've heard of how many lost their worlds and hearts because of them."
Riku nodded slightly, eyes closing as he remembered Destiny Islands. His free hand balling into a fist slowly and his gaze returned back to Elise. Elise tried to smile at him a little; he could see the pain in her eyes, probably a reflection of his own just now. They both lost their home.
"To tell you the truth. I'm terrified of them." The mage whispered, her cheeks turning red in embarrassment.
"Than why did you come?"
"Because. I'd rather be risking my life to be with you, than back at the castle worrying if you'd come back to me."
Riku grinned, "You know I will."
"Promise?"
"Promise."
"Aw.. That's so sweet.. Now you @#!%*&% kids get up here before more of those *&@!$*&^ Heartless show up!"
"Hello, Cid." Riku chuckled, helping Elise to her feet once more.
The two humans walked up the steps and were rushed inside the shop. Luckily there were couches and Elise was forced to lie on her stomach in order for her wound to be cleaned and bandaged. The older blonde man glared down at her, as he handed the bandages to Riku.
"Damn Heartless. they just came out of nowhere! Mostly everyone got out and are hiding in the fourth section of the town."
"The newly built one?" Max asked, plopping down on the green vinyl cushion.
"Yeah. Good thing it's finished in time."
"Are Leon and the others there?"
"Not sure," Cid grumbled, taking a deep drag on his cigarette for a moment, blowing it out trough his nose, "I know they were sitting around with Cloud and the new girl Sephiroth foisted upon him."
Riku blinked, "Skye?"
"I think, blue hair and blue eyes?"
Riku nodded, "That's her. I'm glad she's in this fight too, Sora might need to see his family if we ever find him."
"If we ever find him." Max sighed.
World: Disney Castle ruins
Donald groaned, opening his eyes to the bright glare of the sun. The white- feathered duck smacked a wing over his face to shade his eyes. He rolled onto his side and cried out at the shooting pain in his side. Eyes shut tightly in pain he pulled himself up, looking down in the small puddle of his own blood.
Donald stared at his reflection within it; he could see the black discoloration around his left eye and a cut across his forehead of dried blood. Realization dawned on him as he looked around at the ruins of the castle; a deep crater, replaced the Gummi ship room.
"Donald!" Goofy's voice called out and the duck looked up to see his friend standing at the edge. The anthro dog dropped down, tumbling over next to his friend, nearly rolling him over.
"Watch it!"
"Donald, have you seen the Queen?"
Donald stared, "I just woke up. Where's the Queen?"
Goofy let out an exasperated breath of air, "We don't know. Daisy lost track of her in the explosion."
"Is Daisy okay?"
"She's fine. but the egg's destroyed. I'm sorry."
Donald sighed, is eyes averting and staring down at the ground, a slight tear in his eye. He reached up and held his injured side and stood up slowly. The wind had picked up and the sound of cloth flapping could be heard.
The two men looked over to see a piece of red ribbon fluttering about stuck under a pile of rubble. It was the same shade and material of the Queen's red gown. Donald and Goofy exchanged glances, worry passing through them and they limped and hobbled their way to the fabric.
"You highness! Please! Say something!"
"Queen Minnie?!" Goofy shouted along with his friend.
Donald pulled the cloth off the pipe and looked down at the pile of rubble. White-gloved fingers were vibrant against the dark gray stones and his eyes widened.
"No." Donald muttered, grunting to push off the stones, Goofy staring at his questioningly at him.
"Stop standing there and help me!"
Goofy nodded and started shoving stone after stone off the rubble. The two grappled with one final boulder and shoved it off. It hit the ground with a hard thud and dirt rose into the air as they stared at the sight before them.
"She's." Goofy couldn't finish the words before he gagged at the view in front of him. Queen Minnie's body laid crushed and seeping blood from the open wounds.
"Dead."
****************************
Yes, I know why did I kill Minnie off and destroy the castle? Well, in my fanfics, the Disney Castle was seen as a sign of hope for others when the heartless attacked. Having a sign of hope destroyed makes people believe that no one will survive. Or something like that.
Anyway, R&R, please?
