Disclaimer: I am so sorry about taking this long to update. But a few weeks
ago, something awful happened. My very first humor-themed story titled
'Behind the Terror' was taken off fanfiction.net by the cruel tyrannical
staff. I sent the jerks an email POLITELY asking them why they took it off.
I expected a response to come soon, so that I could change my story and
repost it.
They never responded.
Those assholes didn't even have the common courtesy to give me a response. They just took off my story without giving me a reason. For the last few weeks I've been drained, I felt like the wind has been taken out of my sails. I began to question being a writer (which has been my lifelong dream since I was eight).
But now I've recovered from my loss. I can still look at the original story in its backup files. But now the public can never view it again. (Until I get it up on my website anyway). So I'm currently typing it in a completely different format. It still has most of the old jokes, along with a TON of new ones, only this one will actually have a small plot, (no matter how stupid it is). It will be up soon.
Once again, I'm sorry for the hiatus. It wasn't fair to you guys and I hope we can put this behind us.
(And one final note to the readers of my 'Guardians of Magic 2' story, I have a mild case of writer's block when it comes to that story. But I'm getting some ideas for the next chapter, so it should continue very soon).
The arrow stuck its mark perfectly.
Cedric's body went limp for a moment. His eyes were wide with shock. His blood-red eyes flickered to their normal gold color, then back to red, then gold again. Red, gold, red, gold, back and forth repeatedly in a matter of two seconds. The arrow jutted out of Cedric's chest. His chest heaved as he drew shuddering breaths of air. Suddenly there was a flash of black light. Sora and Riku were both blown back. They watched as Cedric's head jerked from side-to-side. He reached up with a shaky arm and grabbed his head and held it steady.
"No." Cedric growled in his normal voice, "NO MORE!"
With those words, Cedric threw his head back and opened his mouth, as if he were about to scream. But no sound came out. Instead a large black shadow emerged from Cedric's open mouth. He fell to the ground and lay still. The arrow in his chest faded and then vanished. The shadow hung ominously over the room.
Carolyn sank slowly to her knees. She was smiling weakly. "I.did it." She gave a sigh and fell to the ground facedown and lay as still as Cedric.
"Is she okay?!" Kairi cried.
"She should be okay!" Caitlin called back. "She's gotten used to losing the massive amount of spirit energy from using the Omega Arrow. She should wake up in a few minutes."
Suddenly an evil cackle filled the room. It began to rumble. Everyone struggled to stand upright.
"What is this?!" Yuna cried as she grabbed onto the wall for support.
The shadow that hung over the room began to twist and morph. Finally, it took on the shape of Ansem's demon guardian. (Remember? The one attached to him at the end of Kingdom Hearts). Only it was MUCH larger this time.
"The girl's not a normal human is she?" The demon sneered hovering over Carolyn. It grinned, bearing it's rows of razor-sharp teeth. "I shall devour her and make her a part of me!"
"Stay away from my sister!" Tommy yelled. He drew a sword that's blade was made out of fire. He ran at the demon screaming a battle screech. The demon casually lifted its right hand. Tommy stopped suddenly. The small boy was lifted off the floor, and with a cry he was hurled backwards. He skidded across the floor, he was now far from being able to help his sister. The demon smiled and turned its attention back to Carolyn. But before it could attack the defenseless girl, it felt a sharp pain tear through its back. Everyone looked to see who had dealt the blow.
Cedric stood there. His breathing was heavy, on account he'd been in mortal agony a few minutes ago, but he was holding the Phantom Keyblade in both hands and was glaring furiously at the demon.
"I owe that girl my sanity." Cedric growled. "I will not sit idly by and let you devour her soul!"
"Pitiful human." The demon snarled. "Meddling in things you can't possibly understand! Just like your parents!"
Cedric stopped at the mention of his parents. "You knew them."
"Yes boy. I did. Do you remember how your mother died?"
"She died when my father used her in an experiment." Cedric said forcing back tears of anger. "But she asked him too, so I don't blame him for killing her."
"Wrong again lad." The demon sneered coldly. "I killed her! Your mother's death brought about my existence! Your father thought the experiment was a failure, what he didn't realize was that it created me! I was only a newborn spirit however, so I sealed myself up in the Hollow Bastion keyhole. There, I fed on the darkness and became stronger, until you father unleashed me and I possessed him, and eventually I killed him too!"
Those words seemed to hit Cedric like multiple slaps in the face. His eyes widened in horror. Tears of anger and grief began to spill down his face. Up until now, Riku had only viewed Cedric as a selfish invincible prince, who only cared about himself. But here he was, crying over someone else. He seemed human for the first time. Riku realized that that boy was the REAL Cedric, full of human emotions, and most of all, full of pain.
"Mother." Cedric whispered tearfully, "Father." His eyes narrowed as he glared at the demon. "That was you." He gripped his phantom keyblade tightly. Suddenly he bolted towards the demon, his sword raised, and his eyes full of animal rage. "MURDERER!"
The demon smirked and casually raised its hand. Cedric suddenly stopped dead in his tracks. He screamed in agony. It seemed like some invisible force was attacking his body. He fell to the ground, grinding his teeth in pain, his eyes squeezed shut. Katie ran and knelt by him.
"I'LL HELP YOU!" She cried. She raised her hands, about to perform a healing spell, but Cedric weakly raised a single hand.
"No offense, but I'm sure you would just make it worse."
Carolyn groaned softly. Her eyes slowly cracked open. At first she wore a confused expression that immediately turned into a look of fear when she saw the demon looming over her. She gasped in horror.
"Now I'll steal your soul and make it mine!" The monster roared. It lunged forward and Carolyn screamed.
