Chapter 2
Me: Sorry for taking so long on the last few chapters...my evil editor takes forever to edit my chapter because of homework and other evil school related things. --
Riku: I'm sooo glad that I don't have homework.
Me: ((hands him a stack of homework)) here... have fun.
Riku: --
All but Riku- The Authoress does not own Kingdom Hearts or any of the animes that might appear. She only owns Kyoko and the boys are loaned.
Caleb: Remember to Read, Review, Rite! 'Cause she'll keep writing with more reviews.
Chapter StartThe boys stood in confusion. "What is happening again?!?!" Riku demanded. Caleb and Riku both started to ask questions on how they somehow knew each other as Kyoko smiled sadly and turned toward the 2nd district door. "I wish I could tell you now," she said to them. "But it would take too much time... and we sadly don't have the luxury of time," she said as she started off toward the door. The boys followed hesitantly with their eyes. "I'll explain later. Now hurry and follow me!" she said as she raced through the 2nd district doors.
Riku and Caleb followed Kyoko reluctantly the one thing I do need is answers Caleb thought to himself. The two walked through the 2nd district doors in time to see Kyoko disappearing into the Gadget Shop. "Oh great, now to chase her!" Caleb sighed and was about to follow her when he noticed strange black creatures appearing from the shadows along the route to the Gadget shop.
Riku kicked one aside only to see it get up unhurt from where he had kicked it. "How do we get rid of these things?" he asked as he started to try and follow Kyoko to the Gadget Shop while the Heartless were attacking him. Riku dodged the attacks and looked over at Caleb who was running across the railing to avoid the Heartless. "Apparently she know," he answered Riku.
Riku nodded and looked up to see Kyoko standing on the roof of the Gadget Shop. "Hurry, there's nor much time!" she yelled down to them as Heartless appeared around her. "Look out!" Caleb yelled up at her. Kyoko turned to the Heartless as it started to attack but before it could reach her, two strange katanas appeared in her hands in flashes of bright lights.Riku and Caleb watched in awe as Kyoko destroyed the Heartless that got too close with the katanas.
Riku watched Kyoko destroy the Heartless one after another. "If only I could..." he wished clenching his hands into fists. There was a strange flash of light closely resembling that of Kyoko's and two mysterious weapons that looked almost like different styles of giant keys appeared in his hands."...HUH?!?!" Caleb stared at his companion and what had just formed in Riku's hands. "How in the...?"
"Keyblade masters!" Kyoko said making the boys look up again. "Look! The keyhole!" she yelled down to them while still fighting Heartless. "Caleb, awaken the light within your heart!" She then pointed to the fountain near the door to the first district and a keyhole formed on it. The boys turned to see the keyhole before turning back to Kyoko as she started to talk again. "You must work together to lock this world. Without the four keyblades the heart to all worlds will be forever locked!"
Riku started to fight the Heartless around him. "I have too many questions to ask you... but they can wait until we've finished." He leapt out of his circle of Heartless and sprinted towards the keyhole. "CALEB, HURRY!" he yelled over his shoulder.
Caleb, looking confused, began to follow Riku. Two different key-like blades formed in his hands as he jumped off the railing and onto the fountain. "Now what?" he asked as he did a double take on what had just appeared in his hands. "Seal the keyhole with your power!" Kyoko yelled down at them, "and be quick about it!" she added, blocking a few heartless attacks.
Riku looked at the keyhole questioningly before it felt like his hands were being lifted by themselves to be level with the keyhole. Just as he stared at what was happening, two beams of light shot out from the tips of his blades and into the keyhole. "Whoa...trippy..." Riku said as he looked over at Caleb. "Hold them up, Caleb!" Caleb followed what Riku did and was just as confused. "Ahh! What's happening?" he asked in shock.
Kyoko smiled to herself as she heard a slight click coming from the keyhole as it disappeared. The Heartless around her disappeared as she turned and jumped down to where the buys were. "Great job guys," she congratulated them before adding silently to herself now I don't have to watch another world be destroyed... like Destiny.... "Now about those questions," Riku sighed jolting Kyoko out of her thoughts. "Yeah, I only came for answers," Caleb added. "That's the only reason. Like, what are those weapons?" Caleb asked as he shot a stern look at Kyoko.
Kyoko sighed and her katanas disappeared. "Those," she said pointing to the blades in their hands, "are called keyblades." She then put her gloved hands on her hips. "and you two are keyblade masters." She looked both Caleb and Riku in the eyes before continuing. "Now, what questions do you have in mind?"
"What was that 'keyhole' we just sealed? What were those creatures that we so unmercifully slayed? Where did these weapons come from?" Riku half demanded. Caleb nodded in agreement. Kyoko sighed yet again this is going to take a while.
"Those things are called Heartless. They destroy worlds and take people's hearts!" she began making sure to give them a reason for killing the Heartless. "The keyhole is a sort of doorway to the worlds' heart. If the Heartless take the heart of the world, then the world is destroyed. The last question is hard to answer..." she thought on the question for a little while. "It's hard to explain really... There's not much of an answer I can give you. The answer lies only in your heart." Riku and Caleb considered for a moment before Kyoko broke the silence. "Do you still have more questions?"
Riku answered immediately. "Yeah, where do we go from here?"
"and do we just abandon our lives to help you?" Caleb chimed in.
Riku looked over to Kyoko and crossed his arms as if to accent Caleb's question. "It's up to you..." Kyoko said dropping her hands from her hips. "I do not have a keyblade so I cannot lock the worlds myself..." she mumbled something to herself before looking up to the stars to watch another star go out.
"What the heck," Riku said making Kyoko look at him and away from the stars. "I haven't had a good vacation for a while. I don't see a problem with helping out." He looked over to Caleb. "How about you, Caleb?" he asked.
"It could take my mind off of things." Caleb replied. Riku turned back to Kyoko to see a slight smile on her face.
"Thanks guys."
"No problem." Riku said waving his hand to the side.
"Anytime." Caleb smiled.
Kyoko smiled wider. "Okay then," she paused for a moment to think before continuing. "I suppose at least one of you has a gummi ship?" she asked.
"Of course!" Riku replied. "It's just outside of the world gate."
Kyoko nodded and walked through the door to the 1st district, Riku and Caleb behind her. "I still say you have questions unthought of," she said stopping to turn and look at the boys.
"Yes, but they are questions unthought of." Riku answered while continuing on to the door to the world gate. Kyoko opened the door and stepped aside for Riku to lead the way.
Riku walked past Kyoko to lead the way to his gummi ship, Kyoko and Caleb following close behind. He stopped in front of the gummi ship. "Wait, where are we going again?" he asked.
Caleb shrugged. "Anywhere is fine with me." He walked aboard and took a seat in the cockpit. Kyoko smiled and shook her head at Caleb as he walked aboard. "I was thinking that we could go to the Olympus Coliseum."
Riku nodded his head, considering. "Maybe a few battles will help us get stronger. Plus I haven't talked to Phil or Hercules in a while. I could do with some catching up."
"I'm in." came a mumbled response from one of the chairs in the cockpit. "I haven't done some training in a couple of days."
Kyoko sat down in one of the seats and smiled. Caleb, you weirdo she thought to herself. "Riku you're the best pilot out of all of us!" she exclaimed. Riku smiled as he took his seat in the pilots' place at the controls.
"You would be correct in that assumption." He turned on the engines and lifted the craft into the space. Kyoko smiled tightly as she looked at the two. The Lost Trinity has finally found each other.
