TS2: Legacy
Okay quick notice right here, the reason it says TS by the title is because that's short for "Tale Spin" and the number is well obvious. Until Sora and the guys leave the world of Tale Spin, it will continue to have TS by it and the number next to it will tally how long they have been here. Once they leave to the next world, the initials will change depending in the show. I hope you guys are enjoying this story as I said it is my first KH fic, Enjoy!
Blinking eyes of confused icy orbs danced across the walking streets of the city known as Cape Suzette. The shadowy cloaked stranger walked down the streets, baffled at the cluttering piles of walking animal humanoids. Truly a stranger world then the being had expected. Boot steps click along the way as the man followed the directions given to him by Shere Khan. Inevitably the wooden sign appeared before his eyes, Higher4Hire it read in red letters.
But just before the stranger approached the wooden docks, he frowned and immediately hid behind a stack of crates. The legendary keyblade master himself was right there, Sora, along with Goofy and Donald. "I hadn't expected the lad to have made it here before I did, how unfortunate" the stranger whispered. Beside the boy was Baloo and Kit, the 2 were laughing and fishing as Sora pondered how he was to get home from this new world.
"So Baloo remind me again why we can't talk to your boss again?" Sora asked curiously. The big blue bear sighed with grief as he tilted his brown pilot's cape over his eyes, Baloo groaned "Because she's the boss lady". Kit chuckled a bit "Baloo and Ms. Cunningham don't have what you'd call a friendly working relationship". Goofy blinked and stared down at the office door to Higher4Hire. "When she says out she means OUT" Baloo said.
The shadow man grinned and spotted an opportunity, his icy eyes shined with bright brimming energy. "I'll show him an OUT" the man snickered as he pointed his black gloved finger to the sky and fired a beam of energy. The thin blue stream of electrical thunder sparked wildly in the sky. Goofy lifted up his long black ears and blinked "Do you guys hear something?". Bullets suddenly started to hail down and crash upon the docks. Baloo screamed.
"AIR PIRATES hit the deck er below it" Baloo shouted as he immediately grabbed Kit and leapt into the seas with a colossal splash. Sora, Goofy, and Donald gasped as they looked skyward, spotting the horde of air pirates. Black skull and crossbones signs marked their engines, as machine gun fire screamed down at our hero's heads. Sora gasped and ducked "Where did those pirates come from? We would have heard them coming before guys".
"Gawrsh it's like they just appeared right out of the blue EEP" Goofy squealed as he grabbed his yellow hat down from the bullets. Donald growled "Who cares let's just take these big palookas down fast". Sora nodded as he clicked his yellow boots together, suddenly they left the ground. In seconds Goofy and Donald followed Sora into the sky, their weapons reared back and armed for air born combat with the air pirates.
"Now's my chance HA" the man said as he leapt into the fray of lead upon the wooden docks. The cloaked stranger melted into a dark blur of shivering shadows and static like darkness, dashing at super sonic speed across the docks. Flash! The shadow man was already entering the Higher4Hire office firm before anyone could even realize he was there in the first place. Sora yelled and sliced his keyblade through the plan, it immediately disappeared.
"What the? The plant just vanished" Sora said with shocked blue eyes. "OH NO there just garages" Goofy said, Donald simply groaned "That's mirages you doofus Ugh". "BALOO if I've told you once I've told you a thousand times, but if your thick skull can't get the point that I need to be left alone then I OH" a female voice said before suddenly stopping herself. The masked stranger was confronted with what appeared to be a female bear girl.
In the furry sense she was quite lovely, brown long hair, a light pinkish sweater, purple pants, and dazzling black eyes. The stranger smirked smugly under his darkened trench coat with a reply, "I beg your pardon madam". The bear girl gulped and laughed nervously "Oh no, no, no, no, beg my pardon sir, customer, valued money, I mean eh I'm terribly, terribly, TERRIBLY sorry". The man chuckled quietly "Oh that's quite fine Ms?".
"Goodness me my manners must be on a vacation, I'm Rebecca, Rebecca Cunningham and owner of Higher4Hire sir" Rebecca said with a soft smile. "A pleasure Ms. Cunningham, I trust you don't always greet new customers with such embracive hospitality?" the man asked. Rebecca laughed and sweat dropped furiously as she fumbled her brown furry fingers to get some coffee. The stranger twitched his nose at the smell coming from Rebecca.
"Good god no that was just well you see my pilot is a bit of an irresponsible slob and, But I EH I mean he's a good pilot he just ugh" Rebecca sighed. "Worry not Ms. Cunningham I am not here to judge you or you're personnel. I am on a mission of great importance to my employer, and he mustn't be kept waiting Ms. Cunningham" the man said calmly. Rebecca nodded cheerfully "Oh yes believe me sir I completely understand you".
Black gloved fingers flexed as the man kept his dark grey hood over his silvery white hair and blue eyes, "Then let's begin our business" he said. Before Rebecca could even ask, the man had stuck his right hand out before her and opened up his black gloved hand. "Uh sir?" Rebecca asked curiously as her furry brown cheeks felt flustered at the man's odd reaction. "I'm in something of a hurry Ms. Cunningham so if you please" the man said firmly.
"If you please what? Forgive me sir but I'm afraid I don't exactly understand what it is you want from me" Rebecca said. A sigh escaped the man's lips as he pulled back his black hand in disappointment. SMACK! Cold pain and anger rushed to Rebecca's face, a harsh slap struck across her cheek and snout. Another shove of that black gloved hand was felt against her back, Rebecca squealed in terror as her face was shoved right up against a mirror.
Glass crackled and crunched under the soft brown fur of her soft skin, drips of red blood oozed from her forehead down to her bare feet. "You have shown me zero manners here Ms. Cunningham and frankly I'm sick of it and YOU" the man hissed coldly. "I don't understand what the hell are you ACK" Rebecca screeched in pain as she felt his hand shove into her harder. "Don't play coy with me you little brown furry bitch, I'm sick of your lies.
You claim to be willing to do business with me and yet you refuse to produce my item of purchase, insolent wench" the man snarled to her. Rebecca screamed out in bloody pain "What is it you want? HELP". The man growled "Your lies bore me and so does your worthless life whore, TALK! There's no sense denying it I can smell it over you like cheap perfume, tell me where is the chard of Solego the chaos god's emerald?".
Suddenly a bright flashed beamed over Rebecca's terrified crying eyes, it was the name the man used, and she had heard it before. A flashback was coming over her as she was starting remember what he was talking about. Rebecca murmured softly "Solego..chaos god..emerald..new body..my body..and Molly, MOLLY" Rebecca screamed to herself. The man flipped her frightened face to his and growled with a silent snarl.
"No, no it can't be we got rid of that stupid thing a long time ago. I remember now. Solego was the name of that monster that took over my body when I put on his jewel, I thought it was a necklace. But he took over my body and nearly killed my daughter, Baloo and Kit. Well your too late buster, we dropped that hunk of junk in the ocean a long, long time ago. And besides it was whole not a chard you freak" Rebecca said with fiery fury.
The man roared with monstrous fury and raised up his black gloved hand, a powerful surge of dark electricity formed in his hand to strike the woman. Rebecca screamed for her very life as she closed her eyes tightly. KRASHHNK! UGH! Shattering glass shards rained down as the masked man was slammed back by a colossal drop kick from a big yellow shoe. "Who or what are you?" Rebecca stammered as she looked up to see Sora.
"A friend and I think you can really use one right now, here take my hand" Sora said with a smile as he extended his gloved hand. "DON'T YOU INTERFERE" the man screamed as he hurled bolts of lighting from his eyes. Sora cried out as the bolts struck him, catapulting the boy through the walls, shattering through piles of wood and plaster. In fear Rebecca cried out to the boy but screamed again as another blast of thunder struck her hand.
"Not even the keyblade master will stand in the way of my dreams to resurrect Lord Solego Ms. Cunningham" the man said quite coldly. Second by second Rebecca watched the masked man slowly approach her, trying to find the courage to run out the blown hole behind her. Sora had crashed through her window to enter and now she had a chance to simply run out. But the fearful woman was too sure the man would kill her before then.
The door slammed open and Baloo was screaming forward, charging at full speed towards the man like a football player. "Bye, bye boogey man GR" Baloo grunted as he plowed his blue furry weight into the powerful contacting tackle. The man screamed as he was hurled back hundreds of feet by the powerful crash of Baloo's weighted belly. Goofy and Donald rushed in and grabbed Rebecca's hands as they carried her by the arms outside.
Baloo gulped "I sure hope he gets a concussion from that move", Rebecca asked "I'll say I hope that freak never wakes up for what he did to me". "No he'll wake up all right I just hope he forgets that I hit him" Baloo said nervously as he too runs out with Rebecca, Goofy, and Donald. Roars of inhuman screams bellow from inside the office, the gang rushed faster at the sounds of the man's yells. Donald and the gang rushed down the docks fast.
"Way to go Baloo you got Ms. Cunningham" Kit started but Baloo grabbed the boy's green sweater and panted, "Were not out of the woods yet Kit". A colossal explosion ripped apart Higher4Hire's front doors, ruptured wood splinters and debris rained down from the sky. At the base of the blown hole doors stood the masked man, surging with raw enraged electrical energy. The stranger grinded his teeth and stormed hatefully towards the others.
"Game over rodents" "Low bridge creep" Sora shouted as suddenly a ball of fire crashed above the man's head. The large Higher4Hire sign painted in red letters, crashed down and collapsed right over the man's cloaked head. Sora cheered in mid air with his keyblade raised high in victory, smiling as the man was buried under the collapsed piles of crushed and mangled wood. "YAY Sora, right on the head buddy" Donald said as he clapped his wings.
Sora nodded with a bob of his brown spiky hair, but his smile faded the second he landed from the sky before his friends. Yellow shoes clopped as Sora raised his keyblade in defense, blue eyes hatefully scorning coldly. "No time for noise makers yet Donald, this guy's not finished yet. Let's get ready guys" Sora said, Goofy and Donald armed their weapons forward as well. Baloo kept Rebecca, Wild cat, and Kit safely behind his back as he nodded.
The shadowy stranger was already back on his feet, his face completely cold and devoid of emotion. "Play with the cat and eventually you'll find the mouse, so finally we meet..keyblade master Sora" the man grinned. Sora smirked back "Well if were going to be friends you might as well tell us your name". Another laugh escaped the phantom man as he brushed his silvery white hair back, a glimpse of his pale face was briefly seen by Sora.
"Wha Riku is that you?" Sora stammered. The man replied "Sorry wrong number there lad. But you're right, manners are always put first before business. My name is Mirage, 5th rider of the Order of the Lost Souls organization. It is a supreme pleasure to finally meet the infamous destroyer of Ansem, keyblade master Sora". Sora frowned "Can't say the feeling is mutual Mirage". Mirage laughed out loud "Just hand over the gem Sora".
The boy gasped, his blue eyes widened at the shock of the man's words. The gem IS worth something, this guy standing here and attacking them is proof enough. "I told you already you heartless monster, we dumped that rock months ago" Rebecca shouted. "Actually Ms. Cunningham I believe he is looking for this" Sora said as he removed the red rock from his blue shorts. The shimmering sparkle of red shard immediately caught Mirage's attention.
Goofy blinked "Ahyuck it sure seems that Mirage fellow there likes this here rock Sora". A cold bead of sweat raced down Mirage's silvery white hair, he couldn't leave without that gem and avoiding a fight with Sora seemed impossible. Baloo coughed "Okay we all know you got the hits for this here rock gruesome, but what I want to know is what's so dam special about it?". Donald crossed his feathers nodding "I'd like to know that myself buddy".
Clanking sounds of metal clanged against the red rock, it was Sora tapping the gem chard with his keyblade. "All right Mirage tell us why this stone is worth so much to you and the Heartless, before I make it worthless to everyone" Sora said. A sigh of defeat escaped Mirage as he nodded to Sora, while never losing that evil grin. The shadow masked Mirage began "Very well, but be forewarned that this was your final request before I kill you all.
As your furry female friend said there, what you hold in your hand keyblade master is one of 5 crystal chards of the emerald of the chaos god Solego. Master and rightful ruler to all worlds as well the Order of the Lost Souls. Many years ago before any of us even existed, there was a powerful creature known as Solego. He was a demonic demon serpent god who had unlimited powers of mass destruction. During his time of ruling, Solego met us five.
Back then we were simple souls who's lives had been given nothing but failure, and lonely solitude. We had no purpose you see. Solego gave us a purpose, a purpose to serve him and help him control all life in the world. And as rewards for our servitude, Solego granted us with immortality and super human powers, each one with his own unique talents. Then Solego dubbed us the Order of the Lost Souls, of course he was eventually beaten.
After Solego was sealed up in the ruby emerald and golden necklace casement, the 5 of us hid within the shadows to avoid capture. There we waited years and years and years, preparing for the return of our master. We cowered the world a thousand times over to find him, but we never did. Then a few months ago we managed to discover him in a museum cargo ship, we tried to catch him in time but we were too late. We had failed.
That's when we trailed back the shipment to here in Cape Suzette, events continued to unfold until our master was finally reborn in St. Canard. Our master was then defeated by Darkwing duck. The museum curator tried to bury the jewel and case away in a cement safe, but we put a stop to that. After we sent that little maggot to a watery grave, the one you call Riku attacked us. He stole the gem from us and shattered it into 5 broken pieces.
Those pieces were scattered across 5 dimensional worlds, then Riku vanished. Now the Order of Lost Souls is searching after the missing stones as we speak. Each one of us is inspecting a different world the stones have landed in, once we have attained all 5 stones our master Solego shall be reborn. Then this and every other world shall fall before our master's power". Sora smirked and aimed his keyblade to Mirage, "I don't think so".
