Kingdom Hearts 2: Blended Hearts
Chapter 3: I'll Do It
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Kairi~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
An idea popped into her head. She wasn't sure if it was hers or the strange voice's, but she was sure it would prove useful. She turned to Rini.
"You can go ahead home. I think I'll stay out for a while. Tell mom I'll be on the beach, okay?" asked Kairi, standing up. Rini nodded and ran off. Kairi slowly walked halfway across the bridge and jumped down on the sand. Tidus and Wakka were dueling on the sand as Selphie sat on the edge of the rock, jeering the pair. Kairi sat next to her. She grinned.
"Miss Sob-A-Lot, why are you over here at this time of day?" teased Selphie.
"I wanna learn." Replied Kairi.
"Learn what?" asked Selphie.
"To fight. If I'm going to be useful for anything, except crying, I might as learn to fight." Reasoned Kairi. Selphie tossed her a wooden sword.
"Well then you can play winner. Show us what you got." Laughed Selphie. Wakka threw his ball again and knocked Tidus out. Kairi jumped down. And stood facing Wakka.
"Show me your stuuuuuuuuuff!" exclaimed Wakka. She jumped and hit him square on the head. She felt strange. She felt braver than she ever had in her life. She swung the sword again, blocking his attack. She swung and hit him in the ribs. He stumbled back, hurt but not out. She ran up and him in the side. He fell back, his blitzball resting on his forehead. Kairi let out a whoop. Selphie and Tidus sat on the rock in awe, their jaws dropped.
"Whoa... I've never seen Kairi so fierce!" exclaimed Selphie.
"I was fierce?" asked Kairi, sitting down on the rock.
"If you had a keyblade girl, you'd be on par with Sora and Riku." Laughed Selphie.
"Really? You think so?" asked Kairi, amazed. Selphie nodded. The sky was orange and indigo as the sun began to set. Kairi smiled and looked out into the sky.
"Yes. Whenever you find me, I'll be ready. I'll fight alongside you. Together... Together... Yes... This time, I'll fight," sighed Kairi, in a trance with the sky.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Sora~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Your friend Riku's found himself a girl, you could say. Except she just happens to be the 8th princess of heart." Sighed Raye.
"What? I thought there were only 7 princesses!" exclaimed Sora, more confused than ever.
"Not anymore. Here, let me explain. Seventeen years ago, there was a prophecy told that the 7th princess's heart would be the last to be awoken. You see, all princess's hearts are sleeping. They sleep inside themselves, though. Only when all the princess's hearts are together can they awake. The prophecy told that the 7th princess's heart would sleep in a brave warrior, the one she loves. The prophecy also told that, and this is where it gets confusing, that the 7th princess held a heart that was not hers. That's how she lived without her heart for so long. The heart belonged to the 8th princess. Once Kairi's real heart was put in her body, her body could not hold two strong hearts. I'm impressed that your body held yours and Kairi's. So, the other heart had to find its own body. Luckily, she did. Thus born Raven." Explained Raye.
"Okay... But how did all of you people get formed?" asked Sora.
'Well, when you put in or take out a heart, you lose a bit of it. And every bit of heart needs a body. Sometimes bodies get created because they're a too many floating hearts. All of us are incomplete. We'll eventually crumble into bits. Only, there is one way to stay alive, but it rarely works." Sighed Raye.
"How can you stay alive?" asked Sora.
"You have to piece together a heart all of the people can join into one. But it is very hard." sighed Raye.
"So... You're just... Place fillers?" asked Sora.
"Well, yes. But Ravu... He's different. I think you lost a large chunk of yours... He's.... Pretty much a whole human," sighed Raye.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Riku~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Riku shuffled around the cavern, picking up random parts of dead heartless. After gathering a large bundle, he sat on the top of the cliff and pulled out something from his pocket. It was a spool of white thread and a needle. It had been many, many years since he used them but he always carried them just in case. Furiously threading, a figure started to form. It was long and all white, with a round head but no eyes. In its place was a symbol that was curiously shaped. He grinned as the figure leaped out of his arms. It scampered around and began clawing at the rock with long talons. Riku began working on a second one, not noticing that the original had multiplied. After he had created ten (but had 30 in the cave) he looked around, puzzled.
"What shall I name them?" murmured Riku to himself. He heard a knocking on the large door.
"Who's there?" he boomed. No answer.
"Nothing... The nonexistent... That's it!" exclaimed Riku. 50 nonexistants were now in the cave. He wondered why Raven and Mickey hadn't woken up yet. 100 nobodies now crowded the cavern. Riku sat, confused. He had created only ten, yet 200 and more growing stood before him. What could he do with them. He then got a great idea. But before he could order the Nonexistants (there were now 800 in the cave), they were already halfway through the process. The formed a giant Nobody, larger than Darkside. The monster smashed the door with ease and walked into the oblivion that is End Of The World. Riku sat, his jaw dropped. The rest of the Nonexistants multiplied again and ran out of the cavern, leaving Riku awestruck and alone. He had created a new enemy, much stronger than the Heartless. What had he done?
A/N: Hey! That's the end of Chapter 3. Notice how she says 'This time, I'll fight?"? Yeah, that's from Deep Dive! And Riku is the cause of the NonExistant! It's funny the Heartless were at first an experiment, but the NonExistant were made because of boredom! LOL. Okay a sneak preview of the next chapter....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Kairi~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She had tried before, but it didn't turn out so well. She shook her head, trying not to remember what had happened to her. She would just have to trust herself this time, not dependant on other people. Besides, this time, she would find him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Sora~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rain beat down on the sidewalk. It was hard to believe that it was beautiful and sunny earlier. He saw someone, walking in the rain. He was confused. Who would go walking in the rain? He had gotten the habit of walking outside on Destiny Islands because he found that the weather was nice at night. But, besides himself, would go walking in the rain at night? Of course! Himself!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Riku~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He looked curiously at the dark rag. What was it? Where did it come from? Why would someone give this as a present? He shrugged and slipped the band over his eyes. He found he could see right through it. He looked at the box. He opened it. Started, he stared down at what was neatly folded inside. There lay a dark coat, a zipper down the front. He grinned and slipped it on over his normal clothes.
Neat, eh? Yeah! Well... See you in Chapter 4!
