The Darkness Within
Chapter 10: Dark Tournament
"Great," Neron sighed, "Another forest."
"At least in this world we can be ourselves," Jetta said with a smile, "But I'm gonna miss that tail."
"I thought you didn't like it?" Max asked.
"That's cause you gave Riku a cute tail when mine was just a skinny little stick." Riku's eye twitched at the word, not liking cute being referred to him. Hansom, sure why not, but cute, hell no. Neron simply chuckled after seeing the face Riku was making causing him to glare at the blond for a moment, until his ears picked up a sound.
"What's that noise?" Everyone fell silent as they looked around, listening for whatever it was that Riku heard.
"...People," Max said, finally speaking up, "That way." In truth everyone already knew which direction it was coming from, since Jetta had already ran off to see what all the commotion was about. The boys grumbled as they ran after Jetta, hoping she wouldn't get them into anything during the time it would take them to catch up to her. Jetta hopped out from behind a bush only to run smack dab into a person's back, causing her to stumble back a bit.
"Oh!" Jetta shouted in embarrassment as she rubbed her nose, "I'm sorry about that, I didn't mean to run into..." Jetta's eyes went wide as the rest of her sentence turned into nothing but a jumble of odd unknown words. The person she had run into was no person at all. He, or it, was a tall monster with three eyes, green skin, four arms, and sharp long fangs, and the longer she mumbled at it the more it got impatient with her.
"Got a staring problem wench?" The monster growled as he shoved her backwards and into Riku, who had just arrived.
"Excuse me?" Jetta shouted as she got into the monster's face, as close as she could reach since it was so much taller than her, poking him in the chest with a hatful gleam in her eyes, "I don't like being referred to as a wench you ugly freak of nature, and if I knew what I was staring at then I wouldn't be looking at you to try and figure it out! Wait...are you even a he? Maybe I should call you an it." Riku and the others stood, slightly baffled and frightened, only able to watch as the monster's three eyes held a death glare on Jetta. Someone had to intervene before the girl got herself killed, and since Max seamed to frightened, and Neron probably didn't care, it was up to Riku.
"I'm so sorry sir," Riku said as he pulled Jetta away, "She hasn't been feeling well lately."
"Let me go Riku I'm not finished with that-" Jetta shouted before Riku covered her mouth so she wouldn't get herself in over her head.
"Yeah little girl, go run along now with your puny human boy," The monster laughed, along with several other ugly things around him. Riku's aqua-blue eyes narrowed at the ugly beast, letting his grip loosen on Jetta's mouth, big mistake.
"Puny," Jetta laughed, "The only thing puny around here is the butt ugly monster in front of me." Riku covered her mouth once again, but it was to late, it had already been said.
"Look, the human girl think she can beat me," The monster laughed, along with all the others. Jetta managed once again to break free from Riku's grasp, after a short struggle.
"I wasn't really talking about me. I was just backing up my friend, but I'm sure I can beat you as well," Jetta spat as Riku gave up and let her go with a heavy sigh.
"This is going to be good," Neron chuckled as he nudged Max with his elbow and smiled.
"Alright then you little harpy," The monster snarled, "Lets go!"
"Wait!" A man shouted as he ran in between the two, "Do you both want to get disqualified before the tournament even starts?"
"Tournament?" Jetta questioned under her breath. The monster simply growled at the man before he started to walk away.
"You just wait you harpy!" The monster shouted, "We'll have out battle soon enough." He then walked off with a group of four other ugly monsters at his side.
"You really shouldn't be picking fights like that," the man said before he turned around to look down at Jetta with stern green eyes.
"...Uh... r-right..." Jetta stuttered as she stared into his green eyes, a light pink color crossing her cheeks, "I know I shouldn't have. It's just sometimes I can't control my temper." This sentence got several questioning and confused looks from the boys. Jetta wasn't acting normal, that's for sure.
"It's not wise to pick fights with team leaders," The man scolded, "You should be glad I stopped the fight before it started. Who knows what could have happened to you? However, I don't blame you for getting angry at the beast. You had every right to fight him."
"Well, thanks for stopping him, but I could have taken him no problem," Jetta said.
"I'm sure you could have," The man said as he flipped his red hair behind his shoulder, making Jetta's face turn a darker pink, "But there's still the fact that you could have been disqualified."
"About that..." Jetta paused, "What is this tournament thing you're talking about?"
"You mean you don't know about it?" The man asked. Jetta shock her head. "Then what are you doing here?"
"Well..." Jetta trailed off as she looked back at the boys for and answer, but they just stared at her with a blank expression, "We were camping out and genius Neron over there lost the map." Jetta pointed back at Neron with her thumb before she continued. "We were with some other kids, but we got separated. When we heard people talking we thought it might have been them, but boy were we ever wrong." Jetta laughed lightly as she scratched the back of her head.
"So then you didn't come here for the tournament?" The man asked, slightly shocked.
"Good going Kurama. Why don't you just explain everything to the little human girl," Another man walking up behind Kurama spat. Kurama sighed as he turned to the shorter man with wild, gravity defying, back hair. His red eyes glared up at Kurama as he crossed his arms over his chest in an annoyed manner.
"I didn't know!"
"Whatever," the shorter man spat.
"Um, excuse me," Neron interrupted, gaining the two men's attention, "What's going on here?"
"You might as well tell them Kurama." Kurama's green eyes glared at the shorter man before he turned to the four.
"We're here to fight in the Dark Tournament, along with all these other demons around here." The four teens took the moment to glance around at all the ugly monsters now known as demons.
"So that's why there are so many of those ugly things around," Max mumbled, "Is there some kind of big prize or something?"
"Yes, but I'm not sure what that is yet."
"Alright, pipe down ye ugly things!" A voice yelled over the crowed, silencing everyone, "Me ship is ready to set sail so ye best be getting on if ye want to get to the island!" The little short bearded man with the booming voice turned and started to head for the shoreline, letting the demons follow him to his ship.
"Kurama! Hiei! You two coming or what?" A teen shouted as he waved them down.
"Coming!" Kurama shouted back. Hiei didn't reply, he just humped, turned, and walked towards the teen, "I suggest you four go find your other camp members. This is no place for normal humans to go." Kurama started to walk away, but Jetta stopped him by grabbing hold of his wrist.
"What if we want to join?" Both Max and Riku gave her a look of horror after this question. She was doing it again; she was dragging them into another thing, but oddly enough, Neron seemed a little interested to know.
"I guess you could, but..." Kurama trailed off, "You have to have a team of five, and it looks like you only have four."
"Are you serious?" Jetta questioned, the look of sadness in her eyes.
"Well, that sucks," Neron stated, "I was actually looking forward to this tournament."
"I'm sorry," Kurama said before he walked away, pulling Jetta's grip from his arm.
"You actually wanted to go?" Riku asked, looking over at Neron.
"Yeah, it sounded exciting," Neron said, "At least she wasn't dragging us into another baby sitting job again."
"Would you please drop it Neron!" Jetta shouted, "If it'll make you shut up, I'm sorry I ever did that, okay." Neron could only smile at her.
"Did you say you needed one more person?" The four teens jumped at the sound of a deep voice. They turned to find tall man with a young looking woman by his side walk out of the woods, his bright, almost glowing, blue eyes scanned over the four teens.
"...Uh...yeah," Neron said, not knowing what to think about the stranger with wild blond hair.
"How about we make a deal," the man said, "I need a team to fight on, and to make a team you need five people. If you let me join then we can all enter this tournament, and everyone's happy. How about it?"
"Deal!" Jetta shouted as she ran up to him and shook his hand before anyone had time to consider his proposal. "Welcome to the team... um... what's your name?"
"Cloud."
"Right! Welcome to the team Cloud," Jetta said with a smile, "So are you his girlfriend or something?" Both Cloud and the woman blushed.
"Just... friends," the woman said as her cheeks turned a little darker shade of red, glancing at the man with her green eyes, "I'm Aerith."
"It's nice to meet you two, don't get me wrong, but we need to go catch that ship before it leaves," Neron said as he started to walk off, "I have a feeling that that man wouldn't wait on us if we asked him to."
"I'm so exited!" Jetta exclaimed as she ran past Neron, "Last one there's a rotten egg!"
"No far! You got a head start!" Neron shouted before he chased her down, determined to beat her.
"I can't believe we missed the boat," Jetta huffed for around the third time, "This is all your fault!" The girl then shoved Neron's shoulder, who was sitting next to her at the time, and let out a heavy sigh.
"Don't even start blaming me."
"To late, I already did."
"Can we go now?" Riku asked like a little impatient child as he paced the wooden dock they were seated on.
"No!" Both Neron and Jetta yelled simultaneously.
"But we've been waiting for another boat to come by since forever," Riku whined, knowing he was exaggerating quite a lot, "There's not going to be another one. We missed our chance, lets just go."
"No!" They both yelled again.
"Oh no!" A woman cried, "We miss the boat?" Everyone turned to look back at the strange woman with blue hair.
"By thirty minutes I'm afraid," Aerith answered.
"Well that just stinks," The woman said as she pouted.
"Now how are we going to get there?" the girl next to her with a small voice asked, "I really wanted to see Kazuma fight."
"Don't worry Yukina, your not missing much," An older woman with long brown hair spat.
"Oh come now Shizuru, he's no that bad," The blue haired girl said as she lightly laughed.
"I hope you have another way there Botan," another girl said as she glanced over at Botan with angry brown eyes. She impatiently taped her foot as she crossed her arms over her chest. "I'm going to kill Yusuke once we get there for not telling me about this. The stupid arrogant jerk..." The girl continued to mumble curses at the boy, and all Botan could do was smile weakly at her.
"Don't worry Keiko, I have another way," Botan said, hoping to cool the girl down, "I'm guessing you guys missed the boat as well?"
"Yeah, no thanks to Neron," Jetta said, receiving a hateful glare from the boy.
"Then you can come with us," Botan said, "I know a port really close by that'll let us rent a boat-"
"Oh wow Botan! You're the greatest!" Jetta shouted as she ran up to the blue hair woman she didn't even know and wrapped her arms around her in a big hug. "Your name is Botan, isn't it?" Botan lightly laughed at the girl.
"Last time I checked it was," She smiled, "And you are quite welcome."
By the time they had reached the strange island the sun was fixing set onto the wide-open ocean. Everyone else had already entered the extravagant hotel on the island for the competitors, except for Riku that is. He told the others he felt a little sea sick from the ride, though only he knew that was just one big lie. Truthfully he wanted to watch the sun set on the ocean, but didn't tell because he thought the others might think he was a little strange. He knew he shouldn't care about what they thought, but still it bothered him. If only it was Sora and Kairi, then they could be watching it with him like they used to.
As he watched the sun's golden light touch the water, making it glisten in it's rays, a depressed look crossed his face as memories of good times flooded his mind. It had been so long since he had last seen a sun set on the ocean. The last time was probably the night the heartless attacked Destiny Island, and even then he didn't get to see it with his friends. Riku sighed as he hopped of the rock he was perched on, deciding not to watch the rest of the sunset since it brought back to many memories.
He walked into the lobby of the hotel to find Jetta and Neron yelling at each other, big surprise there. Cloud stood off to the side with an agitated look in his eyes, with Aerith at his side. Though the woman faintly smile, Riku could tell she was a little on the annoyed side as well. Riku couldn't blame them; after all, even he hated it when they yelled like this. The fact that they were gaining attention from rich and wealthy people in the lobby didn't help suppress Riku's embarrassment from have to walk up to them.
"What are you two yelling about now?" Riku interrupted as he glared at the two.
"We can't get a room until we think of a team name," Neron growled, "Something about signing a guest list."
"So you're debating over a name?" Riku asked with an aggravated hint in his voice.
"More or less," Jetta answered, "It's more about how stupid Neron's ideas for a name are."
"I don't see you coming up with anything!" Jetta turned her attention to the blond and glared daggers at him.
"What names do you have so far?" Riku asked.
"Team Keyblade, the heartless fighter team, and the ever so popular Team Neron," Jetta sighed, "I don't know who put that stupid idea in your think skull that you're the leader, but whoever it was needs help, and a lot of it."
"Nobody told me. I just think that because I'm the Keyblade Master, the one you need the most, that it should make me the leader," Neron said proudly.
"Whatever," Jetta snorted.
"Unlike you, who happens to be completely useless," Neron said, adding onto his 'why I'm the leader' statement.
"Wanna run that by me again you jerk!"
"Oh, I'm sorry. Was I talking to fast for you to understand?" Neron asked.
"You ass!" Jetta yelled before she pounced on him. Riku and Max, managed to pull her away, but not before she got a few good hits in.
"Look, can we just do something without having to shout at each other, just once," Riku cried out, mostly from anger.
"How about a last name basis for the team name?" Max suggested, almost afraid to say anything seeing as the two looked like they could kill at the moment.
"As long as it's not Neron's," Jetta muttered.
"I'll agree, if it has nothing to do with Jetta." Riku sighed before he looked over at Max.
"I'd rather not use my last name," Max answered before Riku even had a chance to ask him what his last name was.
"What about you Cloud?"
"Strife."
"Team Strife..." Riku repeated softly.
"It has a nice ring to it," Jetta said, "I like it."
"Me too," Max said.
"I guess it's okay," Neron mumbled.
"Your just mad cause it has nothing to do with you," Jetta growled.
"Am not!"
"Are too!" Riku rolled his eyes at the two before he started to walk off.
"I guess this means we are now officially Team Strife?" Max asked.
"I guess so." Aerith smiled as she looked up at Cloud, her green eye glistening at him. He couldn't help but faintly smile back at the woman as he uncrossed his arms and started to walk off with Riku and Max to sign in, leaving Jetta and Neron scowling at one another.
"Leon, before we go," Donald said as he turned to the man, "Is Cid here?"
"Yeah, he's here."
"Is he still working with Gummi ships?"
"Of course," Yuffie stated.
"Good, I though we could buy a few Gummi ship parts before we left," Donald said, "Do you think you could direct us to him?"
"He works in the little accessory shop down in the town square."
"You can't miss it," Yuffie added with a smile.
"Thanks," Donald quaked before he started off down the hall with Goofy and Sora following. Sora paused, as if he realizing something, and turned to face Leon and Yuffie.
"Are you two not coming?" He asked.
"We have to stay here and keep the heartless at bay."
"Oh, okay then," Sora said, "Thanks for the help!" Sora smiled at the two before he ran to catch up with Donald and Goofy.
"Do you think we should have told him about Riku?" Yuffie asked, giving Leon a worried look.
"No," Leon said as he walked back into the hotel room, "I don't want him around Sora so soon. It might not be safe."
"But they're best friends. Don't you think Sora should know that he's okay, even if he can't remember him?"
"We'll tell him later. For now I think we should make sure Riku's back to his old self," Leon said as he turned to Yuffie, "Sora's in a very vulnerable state right now. If Riku is still involved with dark powers he might try and take the Keyblade from Sora again. After all, it was his, and he might still want it."
"True," Yuffie sighed, "I guess we can wait to tell him then."
"I just hope they don't run into each other any time soon."
"How can I help-..." Cid smiled at the three as he folded up his newspaper, "Well, If it ain't my three favorite customers. Long time no see."
"Hello Cid," Goofy greeted.
"Let's talk Gummi ship parts Cid," Donald said as he walked up to the counter, getting strait to the point.
"Hey Sora!" Cid greeted ignoring the duck momentarily, "Man... I almost didn't recognize ya. How have you been holdin' out? After those damn heartless again?" Sora looked up at the man with a blank stare before he realized he had been asked a question.
"I'm fine Gramps." This comment made Cid's eye twitch as he chewed on the toothpick in his mouth.
"Very funny Sora," Cid grumbled, "Now cut that out, you know I don't like to be called that."
"Oh! Sorry about that... Cid, was it?"
" ... " Cid gave him a questioning look at the serious face Sora was giving him, "Your serious, aren't you?"
"... Why wouldn't I be?" This made Cid raise an eyebrow at the boy.
"He lost his memory," Goofy informed.
"You did?" Sora gave Cid a small head nod, "Well why didn't you tell me that in the first place? Geez! Kids these days." Donald growled as he tapped his foot impatiently.
"So how'd you end up with amnesia?" Cid asked, "Did the heartless knock you in the head one to many times?"
"I don't know," Sora sighed.
"Well, doesn't that-" Cid stopped when Donald cleared his throat rather roughly for attention.
"Can we get down to business now?" Donald asked, "You two can chat later."
"Sure… What do you need?"
"Oh wow!" Sora shouted excitedly with his face pressed to the glass of the Gummi ship window, "How cool! What's that world, Donald?"
"Gah! Sora! Stay in your seat until we've landed!" Donald screeched as he tried to pull Sora away from the window, "Your in my way! I can't see!"
"But-"
"Move!"
"Goofy trade seats with me, just for the landing," Sora begged, "The back is so boring, and I can't see the world."
"Sure Sora," Goofy said with a smile, letting the boy have the passenger seat.
"Thanks Goofy!" Sora said, "So what's the name of this world Donald? You never answered me."
"It's Athens, Greece, but the world is basically centered around the Olympus Coliseum," Donald quaked, "I'm guessing you don't remember it."
"So I've been here before?" Sora asked.
"Yep."
"Great," Sora sighed as he slumped down in his seat.
"What's wrong Sora," Goofy asked, giving the boy a worried look.
"This is just going to be another world for me to disappoint more people that I know but don't remember," Sora pouted, "I wish I could remember people when I see them, it'd make things a lot easier."
"Nothing's easy Sora, get used to it."
"Thanks Donald, just the kind of boost I needed to rebuild my confidence." Sora spat as he glared over at his duck friend.
"Any time Sora," Donald said with a smile before he landed the Gummi ship. Once there Sora was, surprisingly, the last one out, and the slowest one to make it to the coliseum's entrance. Goofy put a reassuring hand on the boy's shoulder as he gave him a small smile.
"It'll be alright Sora," Goofy told him, "They'll understand."
"Thanks Goofy," Sora said before he pushed open the large doors only to be met by a huge open area with two very enormous statues of men gladiators clashing swords.
"...Wow!" Sora gasped as he looked on at it all.
"I'm sorry but the tournament is over for this year, you're going to have to leave," A voice said from behind. Sora turned to find and odd-looking goat man taking down a large tapestry hanging on the stone wall. The goat man was currently being held up by a muscular man standing on a winged, white horse, that seemed to snort at Sora and the others. The man looked over his shoulder to see who had entered and was shocked to see Sora.
"Sora!" The man shouted as he dropped the goat man and hopped off of the horse, "It's great to see you again." He instantly ran up to the boy and grabbed him in a headlock, giving him a fierce nougie messing up his, already, wild hair.
"Hey!" Sora shouted, stifling a laugh or two at this grown man's behavior towards him as he desperately tried to get out of the headlock, but was failing miserably. The man was just too strong for him. The man smiled down at him as he released the boy causing him to fall flat on his back.
"So how's the little junior hero doing?" The man asked as he lightly punched Sora on the shoulder once he had stood up, "Sorry you missed the tournament. I would have loved to fight you again."
"I could be better," Sora answered as he rubbed his shoulder absently. The man looked down at him with his blue eyes and frowned a bit.
"What's wrong Sora?"
"Well, for starters I kinda lost my memory," Sora said as he looked up at the man with sad eyes.
"... You... Whoa! Really?" Sora simply gave the man a head nod.
"Herc!" The goat man yelled after picking himself up from the ground, "I have two words for you: extra hard combat training!" Hercules laughed with a nervous hint to his voice as he scratched the back of his head.
"Sorry Phil," Hercules apologized, "I didn't mean to, honest."
"Yeah whatever. Just get your hero butt back over here and help," Phil mumbled as he grabbed Hercules by his blue cape and started to pull him away. Phil glanced over at Sora, glared, and mumbled a "Hey kid." It wasn't until he got back to the white horse with wings that he realized it was Sora.
"Kid!" Phil shouted in realization before he ran back over to Sora, "Kid, why weren't you here for the tournament? We had quite a show, and a ton of new challengers came. One really wiped the floor with all the other competitors, until he got to Herc here. He did put up a pretty tough battle though, right Herc?"
"Yeah," Hercules answered, "Disappeared just as fast as he came too. Quite a mysterious man if I do say so myself."
"Hey kid? I've got a few new practice arena's for ya," Phil said with a smile, "How about it? Let's see how good you've gotten in the past year."
"Okay, sure," Sora said with a smile.
"That's my junior hero, always willing to take on new challenges," Phil grind as he started to escort Sora to the arena, "Hey Herc! While I'm gone, finish taking down those tapestries, would ya?"
"But-"
"That's my hero, always willing to go the distance," Phil shouted proudly before he entered through a pair of blue doors with Sora.
"Yeah... distance..." Hercules mumbled as he patted his white horse on the head, receiving a snort from the winged steed.
"I'm very disappointed in you," The lord of the under world, Hades, spat as he stared down the man in front of him, "You were supposed to take out Hercules."
"I'm only human," The man spat as he pushed his sunglasses over his eyes, not like he needed them in the dark underworld, "What more do you want from me?"
"I want you to kill Hercules!" Hades yelled, the blue flame on his head rising and turning red, "Is that to much to ask for?"
"No, it's just I don't see the point in you using me to kill this Hercules guy. I mean, after all, you are a God."
"You're forgetting the contract-"
"To hell with your contract!" The man yelled as he turned to glare at the lord of the underworld, but he just laughed at him.
"It's a little late for that don't you think?" Hades asked as he smirked at the man, watching him leave, "And where do you think you're going?"
"Anywhere but here."
"And how do you plan on going anywhere with the contact still enforced?" The man stopped, "You are to stay here in the underworld unless I let you leave."
"Damn contract," the man mumbled as he clinched and unclenched his fists, turning to face Hades.
"To get your heart, you must first bring me back Hercules's heart. Then you will be free to leave."
"I'll get you the man's heart, as long as I get mine," The man grumbled before he started to leave again.
"Oh! One more thing, Auron!" Hades called out, "Make it painful would you, and remember, I don't like quick deaths."
"Whatever," Auron mumbled before he left the room.
"He better get him this time," Hades mumbled, "Pain! Panic!"
"Y-yes my lord!" The small mahogany colored monster, known as Pain, answered, followed by an even smaller blue monster, known as Panic, that fidgeted and adverted his eyes in many different directions.
"I think our little friend may need some help," Hades said as he sat down in a large chair, "See to it that he gets that help."
"Who sh-should we get s-sir?" Panic asked, fidgeting a bit with his claws.
"Something big, I don't care," Hades said, "Now get going!"
"Sir yes sir!" Both shouted before they scurried off.

Although, I'm a little worried... or at least I think I'm worried. Riku's been missing ever since I sent him out in the hall when I last read you guys your notes. Part of me wants to jump for joy while the other part is worried that he's planning something. ((Starts to panic)) Sora, you're his friend, what do you think he's doing?
Sora: Maybe he gave up.
Author: I really don't think so Sora.
Sora: Did you check the bathrooms?
Author: Yes.
Sora: Then I have no clue.
