Chapter 2
Ranma paled. "What are we gonna do?" He asked weakly. Rei frowned. "Let me take care of them." He answered with a deadly smile. He pointed the Ultima Keyblade at the dancing Soldiers and said one word:
"FIRAGA!" He roared out.
Ranma and Yami stared in shock as a fireball, about the size of a watermelon, shot out from the sword. It separated into six baseball size balls of fire, and shot out at the Soldiers. Each Soldier screeched in pain before exploding into dust and crystal hearts flying away.
"At least they're gone." Yami offered lamely. Rei shook his head. "They were only the generals. It's their boss we have to worry about." He said grimily. Ranma frowned.
"Boss?" He repeated.
Rei eyed him warily. "Yes 'boss'. The boss is the one who leads the Heartless on each world." He explained. Before Rei could say anything else, the ground shook dangerously and Rei knew that the Boss was coming.
The trio jumped back as two huge purple robotic feet slammed onto the ground, right in the same area where they had been standing previously. Couple with it was a huge purple body looking like a cannon with the Heartless crest on its chest, huge robotic arms with nasty looking claws, and a round head that looked like the face of a pepper shaker? Very unusual.
The black Scan visor flashed over Rei's eyes as he scanned in the data coming from the giant boss. "That's Guard Armor. You guys better watch out for his spinning arms and legs. They can wipe you out with one hit." Rei said darkly.
"What are his weak points?" Yami asked slowly, holding his new staff tightly. "His arms, legs and torso." Came the reply. One of the arms was heading right for Ranma.
"Ranma!" Rei yelled.
"Move!" Yami screamed.
Ranma barely jumped out of the way, to avoid getting sliced and diced. "Thanks guys." Ranma said weakly, landing next to Rei. "Come on. We better get rid of him before he does any more damage." Rei said angrily.
"WIND!"
Ranma bit his lips, to keep from crying out as a barrier of wind swirled around him, Yami and Rei. "It's a defensive spell. It'll lower the damage done to us." Rei explained.
Yami chose to attack the legs, and Ranma went after the hands. That left the torso for Rei. Rei began to power up. Blood red energy flared up around him as the same energy began to cover the Keyblade.
"Power!" He yelled.
Rei leapt into the air and brought Ultima down in an arc on the giant purple robotic torso, lightning cackling everywhere as he did so. "Got ya!" Rei yelled out. He threw the still glowing Keyblade at the torso. The second it hit the giant robotic part, golden lightning flashed across the battle field. The Keyblade flew back to him, and he caught it with perfect ease. Luckily Ranma and Yami didn't have any trouble with their parts.
Rei was impressed. /They could make great guardians./ He mused. Driger was also impressed. You're right.He agreed.
Guard Armor stood back before crumpling into a heap. The body flashed an ice blue as an icy blue crystallized heart flew away and the Heartless vanished. "Is it over?" Ranma asked, panting slightly. He had a slight cut on his right cheek and his ribs got slashed a bit. Yami was a bit winded and his right arm was twisted slightly. Rei smiled tiredly.
"Yes. Guard Armor is gone." For now anyway, Rei added silently.
"Heal." Rei whispered.
Golden bells rang through out the air and soft petals floated over Ranma and Yami, sending warmth coursing through them. Ranma was amazed as he could feel his own healing abilities speed up and Yami was stunned as he felt the bones in his right arm straighten out. As if nothing happened.
"What just happened?" Yami asked in awe.
"Healing spell." Rei said weakly, swaying slightly. "Woah!" Ranma ran forward and caught Rei before he could collapse. "Are ya okay?" He asked worriedly.
Rei gave a weak smile. "I'm fine. Just used up to much magic." Rei answered, surprised by Ranma's concern. He reached into his pocket and withdrew a tiny vial of red liquid with golden dust. He tossed it into the air and suddenly stood up. "Er, what was that?" Rei grinned. "Elixir. Does wonder to restore magic." He answered cheerfully.
Yami got a sudden thought. "How are we supposed to get back to the First District?" He asked curiously. Rei pointed to a door that was behind them. "See that door over there." They turned to see a large wooden door painted a pale sea blue with golden crescent moons and stars.
"Yes. What about it?" Yami asked. Rei's grin grew even wider. "That door leads back to the First District."
Rei jumped over their heads and inserted the Keyblade into the large lock next to it. The two heard a click and the door suddenly opened on its own. And they could see the café through it. "Let's go!" Rei called over his shoulder. Ranma and Yami exchanged smiles and took off after their new friend.
First District
Leon, a dark haired female ninja going by the name of Yuffie, and a sweet looking brunette haired girl in a pink dress named Aerith, had managed to keep the Shadow Heartless at bay. That is, until about ten minutes ago, when each Shadow had screeched in pain and burst into dust.
Tyson was stumped. "What just happened?" He asked in confusion. Happiness sparked in Yuffie's dark blue eyes as the girl jumped up and down in excitement. "The Keymaster actually did it!" She cheered.
"I hope they are alright." Aerith said worriedly. Suddenly the boarded up doors, which were no longer boarded up, opened up slowly and the three that had left stumbled in. The doors slammed behind them.
"Did you guys win?" Kevin asked as they surrounded the trio. "We sure did." Ranma said excitedly.
"But you should've seen Rei! He was amazing!" Rei blushed. Oliver then realized something. "Oh, right after you guys left, we found this weird mark by the café." Oliver pointed to where three dark blue hearts were connected in a circle. Rei's eyes lit up.
"It's a Trinity Mark!" He said eagerly.
Ranma and Yami peered over Rei's shoulder. "Just follow what I do." Rei whispered to them. They nodded, albeit reluctantly. "All you need to do is stand at one of the hearts points." Rei instructed. Ranma stood at the medium sized one and Yami at the smallest. Rei stood at the largest heart.
"Jump."
They jumped once, and a blinding flash of white light lit up the entire First District. The bladers and three fighters had to shield their eyes to avoid going blind. And when the light faded, Rei, Ranma and Yami were gone.
Actually, not really.
After the light had faded, the three teens were standing in the area above the café. "How did we get up here?" Ranma asked in shock. Rei ignored his question and headed over to the red chest in the corner. Rei tapped the chest once and it popped open. Yami saw with his sharp eyes that Rei had pocketed what looked to be a postcard? Into his pocket.
Before Ranma and Yami could blink, Rei actually jumped over the edge and landed on the ground with a fluid grace. Maybe I could try using my puzzle's magic to get us down, Yami mused.
"Ranma do you trust me?"
Ranma blinked at the question. He only knew Yami for a short time and knew that their was more to the mysterious teen than meets the eye. But, after fighting the Guard Armor, he felt a strong connection to the teenager. And he nodded. Yami smiled.
"Thank you."
Yami simply grabbed Ranma's right hand and focused his will on his golden puzzle. Ranma yelped as dark purplish black mists swirled around them. For a second, his vision had gone black, but he could soon see that he was safely on the ground.
Rei sat down on a chair at the café and faced his friends with twinkling pale bluish white eyes, and finally he spoke. "Now you guys can come along with me onto the gummi ship to the other worlds." After a much heated discussion, it was decided that both the Bladebreakers and the White Tigers would go as a double team and Bryan also chose to go, for reasons he refused to release. Both Ranma and Yami wanted to go to help their new friend out.
"Yuffie," he began. The young female ninja perked up after hearing her name. "Do you think you can get these guys a new outfit? Don't worry. I'll pay." He reassured her.
Yuffie's dark blue eyes gleamed excitedly as she dragged the mentioned people to the clothing store in the Second District away.
Rei burst out laughing as Leon silently prayed to the gods for the unfortunate victims of Yuffie's obsessive shopping spree.
About an hour later, Yuffie returned with the gang and Rei gave an impressed whistle. Yuffie defiantly had good taste. It was Mariah who he focused on the most and almost blushed at what she was wearing. She now wore a high collared sleeveless dark reddish pink tee-shirt, extremely short blue jean shorts which showed off her lean figure, knee high black boots that had a silver chain hanging from the zippers and hanging from the chains were hot pink feathers, black goggles resting around her neck, a loose midnight blue belt wrapped around her waist and fingerless black gloves.
Lee now wore a sleeveless dark grey jacket; on the back of his jacket was a black lion, but no shirt as his muscular upper body was revealed, dark blue jeans, ankle length black army boots, and his normal bandages wrapped around his arms.
Gary of course didn't wear a shirt, which showed off his muscular upper body, dark green pants, ankle length black army boots, but he did have a lot of black leather belts over lapping his chest, forming an "x" over his chest, and some were wrapped around his upper and lower arms. Written down on the side of his pant legs were the kanji characters for grizzly bear and great strength and flashing silver.
Kevin now wore pale blue sleeveless tee-shirt, dark blue jean shorts, simple tan army boots that barely reached his ankles, and midnight blue armbands wrapped around his wrists. On the back of his tee-shirt was the kanji character for spider monkey.
Now onto the Bladebreakers.
Kai was wearing a short sleeved black silk tee-shirt; Yuffie explained that the tee-shirt was resistant to dark magic attacks and would not rip so easily, dark blue grey jeans, ankle length black army boots, fingerless black gloves and his usual white silk scar around his neck. On the back of his tee-shirt was a blood red phoenix.
Tyson was wearing a very short sleeved yellow tee-shirt with a long sleeved red denim jacket over it, plain blue jeans, fingerless sky blue gloves, red and white high-tech sneakers, and of course his normal red-and-white baseball cap on top of his head. On the back of his jacket was a shiny blue dragon.
Max wore a dark green short sleeved tee-shirt, dark blue jean shorts, fingerless blood red gloves, and simple white tennis shoes. On the back of his tee-shirt was a dark purple tortoise with a hard black shell. (Kenny chose not to come)
Bryan had chosen something quiet simple. A plain dark blue tee-shirt, a sleeveless black vest, dark blue jeans, and ankle length black army boots. Only his lilac armbands remained the same. On the back of his vest was a fierce looking falcon.
Ranma was now wearing a sleeveless dark bluish green Chinese tee-shirt that had black lines crossing around his neck, black silk tunic pants that had the ankles tied, flat black slippers, and black bracers around his wrists.
Yami just wore a sleeveless black leather tee-shirt, a midnight blue denim jacket, a simple blue jeans, black leather shoes, and of course the pyramid he wore around his neck remained the same. He also still carried his normal cards in their card holder.
"The gummi ships is already. You guys ready to leave?" Rei asked. Mariah nodded. "Then let's go." Said Rei. "Good luck." Aerith said quietly as the ten friends entered the gate that would lead them to where the gummi ship was.
The inside of the ship was pretty big. "Wow. I've never been inside a real ship before." Tyson breathed. It was amazing.
"I must admit, I'm impressed." Yami admitted.
Hovering in front of the ship was the world known as Traverse Town. Bryan could make out the Accessory shop that was the First District, a pond with two dogs kissing; he figured that to be the Third District and the Second District which was full of shops.
Wow.
Not too far apart in space where two metallic silver circles. Unknowingly, they were actually different worlds. Rei selected the level one world, knowing the others could easily handle this world without much difficulty. At least, he believed so.
Their adventure had just begun.
Alright, I'm pretty sure you can figure out where they're going to, right? Oh, and I'm nearing the completion of chapter fourteen. Hopefully it will be done soon.
