Unknown Keyblade Master- Ookami's Tale
K+
Makai Goddess Ookami
AN: Oiyo, this one was easy to write uu seeing as most of it was simply copy, paste, and throw in some of my own stuff. Even after I did that, I noticed this was still Spyke's story... XO so blame him... He is the one who made us stay together the whole dang time. It would have been much easier (and more fun to write) if he hadn't already written everything. So there simply some shared glances between the female friends, some random moments and checking of the non-existent watch. (Sighs) Oh well. Blame Spykey! MWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Xilver- You are weird...
Spykey: (points up) and it's your fault this is almost the same as your chapter... (Though every time I read that part about "Complete Control" I burst into a fit of giggles) so... (Sighs) Oh well, hope this lives up to your standards. :)
Ookami carefully examined the new area she was in. Spinning around slowly, she noticed the inside of the structure was filled with platforms and crystal shaped rocks. Sephiroth grabbed her arm before she fell over.
"Where do we go from here, huh, Spyke?" Sephiroth asked looking at the unofficial leader for the moment.
Ookami pulled away, looking turning to look at Spyke, like everyone else was doing.
"Well, obviously we search around until we find something," Cloud spat out before Spyke could answer and Sephiroth glared at him. Even though they were not home, they kept their rivalry going.
"If that was so obvious how come Sephiroth didn't know it?" Spyke asked putting Cloud in a spot he would have rather not been in.
"Uh…, well…," Cloud stuttered.
Ookami grinned and she saw Kitsune cover her hand with her mouth to hide the smile as she laughed quietly. The two females shared a look.
"That's what I thought," Spyke said and flew to the ceiling for a moment to look around. "Well, there's something over there." Spyke pointed to his right and the group looked that way, unable to see anything.
"What? I don't see it!" Ookami complained, arms folded.
"You can't fly now can you?" Zell mocked.
"No, but that doesn't mean I shouldn't be able to see it," Ookami said pitifully, looking down and kicking the ground.
"Actually, Ookami, the only way I can see it is a bit of light coming from it. So, do we go?" Spyke asked.
Ookami rolled her eyes. Didn't change the fact that she couldn't see the thing that Spyke did. It was downright unfair!
"If it leads to Ansem, I say we go," Sora said.
"And if it helps us find King Mickey," Donald said.
"I think we should go just so we can get back home," Sephiroth said coldly.
Ah, yes, subtle as ever, Ookami noticed dryly, rolling her eyes. Sephiroth glared at her. She shrugged.
"Okay, let me get this straight, we go to the light thingy to get to Ansem and find King Mickey, and get home. Well, it would be a shame to forget who we met, but… I say we go," Ookami said after contemplating the situation, 'it's not like I'll forget Kitsune and Spyke and them,' she thought.
"Well, it's decided. We go," Spyke said, landing and starting to walk off.
"Wait," Zell said and Spyke stopped. "We'll need to be as prepared as we can. We don't want to lose anyone."
"Zell's right," Cloud said. "And if we lose anyone, it should be Sephiroth."
Ookami glared at Cloud for his comment and Spyke laughed to himself about Ookami's reaction, as did Zell. She folded her arms stubbornly and looked away.
"You're right. Everyone, equip yourself to the maximum!" Xilver said and revealed a bag containing all sorts of armor and weapons. Where she kept it? The world would love to know, but they secret would die with her.
"Did you steal those too?" Donald asked.
Well, that question didn't surprise anyone, Ookami noted dryly, watching Kitsune roll her eyes.
"Yes, is there a problem with that?" Xilver replied.
And apparently neither did the answer. Kitsune did the 'check the non-existent' watch thing, a trait she picked up from Ookami.
"Yes!" Donald shouted.
"Well, then, you can't use any of it," Xilver said and turned from Donald.
"Hey! Wait a minute! That's not fair!" Donald tried to justify himself.
"Xilver is a thief, thieves aren't fair. Deal with it," Spyke said and reached into the bag, pulling out three different armlets. One protected against fire, one against darkness, and one against wind.
And for once he was right, Ookami noted, looking through the stuff.
"Hey, I just noticed, it's strangely empty in here. I sense no Heartless," Sephiroth said.
"Sephiroth is right. Ansem must want us to get through easily," Spyke said.
"Perhaps he's waiting on the other end near the portal," Zell thought out loud.
"Or we are to go through it, complete a series of prolonged previously fought battles after fighting a giant monster," Xilver randomly said and the rest of the group stared.
"Well, let's just get ready," Ookami suggested and began digging in the bag. She pulled out two armlets and put them on. Both increased her strength, which she thought was better than protecting herself, as did Xilver and Sephiroth. She wondered if Kitsune still had her old speed charm necklace...
"As far as I'm concerned, we have two choices, one: go into the portal thingy and hope for the best, or two: turn back and protect our selves from the Heartless," Kitsune said.
"I forgot you were there, Kitsune, you're usually not quiet," Cloud said.
"I've been thinking actually," Kitsune said scratching her head.
"And that's another first for Kitsune," Ookami sniggered and Spyke rolled his eyes.
"Hey!" Kitsune shouted once she realized what Ookami had said. She stuck her tongue out, her best friend glairing in return.
"Well, at least they're not torturing me for once," Spyke whispered to himself.
"Let's go," Sephiroth said impatiently trying to endure the teenagers' antics.
"I agree. We really need to get moving. After all, Destiny Islands won't come back if we just sit here," Sora said, "We need to do something."
This obviously motivated the group because everyone looked to him, and then to the ceiling, daydreaming about life once they got back home.
Home. Ookami thought about it, letting the word linger in her mind, before sighing. Would every thing be the same as it was? Or would the memory of the events still be there?
"Alright, we're going," Spyke said, breaking the silence, and beginning to walk towards the portal.
"I really hope none of you get in my way," Sephiroth said, "Especially you, Cloud."
"Cool it, Seph, your attitude is really starting to bug me," Zell said.
"Shut it, teenager," Sephiroth shot back at Zell.
"Shut it, Ancient," Spyke defended Zell.
Kitsune made a face to Xilver, who hid a smirk. Ookami rubbed a faint scar on the side of her neck, clueless as to what the two other females were thinking.
"I'm not in the mood to waste my time, I'm out of here," Sephiroth said and began walking back the way they had come.
"You leave, and I'll personally come after you once Ansem's gone, you hear me, Sephiroth?" Cloud shouted.
"Like I care, you'll be coming after me anyway, you know you want your revenge, but I know something you don't, she's waiting for you in Traverse Town," Sephiroth hinted.
"What?"
"You heard me, she's waiting in Traverse Town."
"I-I don't believe it! All this time, and I haven't even known! Thanks, Sephiroth, but I'm still going to kill you!" Cloud threatened.
"It's your last chance, both of you," Ookami said and both males turned to look at her. They also noticed that the others had already gone through the portal. "Come if you want, but don't wait too long, or it will already be over." With that said she jumped into the portal.
"Truce?" Cloud offered, not entirely liking the idea himself.
"For now," Sephiroth responded coldly.
"So, through the portal it is," Cloud said and jumped into the portal, followed by Sephiroth.
"What is this?" Kitsune asked blankly.
"Another portal?" Zell suggested.
"Maybe. Well, we'll never know until we try," Xilver said and walked through the pillar of light in the middle of the platform. Ookami watched as she disappeared, she turned to look at the unofficial leader.
"I guess we gotta follow," Spyke said and walked through, followed by the rest.
"Oh, great, it's the old go through every world again to complete a task thing," Zell commented.
"Well, there's that treasure chest over there," Spyke pointed out. It was near the fountain in the 'Third District.'
"Well, let's go for it," Sora said and ran eagerly to the chest only to be knocked to the ground by a Large Body.
"All right! You're going down!" Kitsune shouted as she struck a nearby Soldier in the face, knocking it into the far wall. She followed up with her signature attack 'Fox Fire.' She leaped in the air and a giant flaming fox surrounded her, darting to the ground, she took out three Soldiers in one go.
"Wolf's Rage!" Ookami shouted and rapidly struck Heartless left and right with her Wolf Blade. The blade of the sword looked as if wolves had gnawed on it, seeing as how jagged it was. The handle, made of pure wolf bone, had the head of a wolf carved at the end. All in all, she had to admit it was pretty spiffy.
"Hahahaha! Splitting Ground!" Zell shouted and plowed his sword into the ground. He turned it and it produced a crack that swallowed up two Large Bodies before it sealed itself.
"Backstabber!" Xilver shouted and plunged her dagger into the nearest Heartless repeatedly. Each time she pulled it out, Munny and items spurted out of the wound. She then gathered them and put them in her bag. The mysterious bag, the one where no one was sure where she hid it.
"Ars Acranum!" Sora shouted and attacked the last remaining Large Body with a series of unstoppable blows.
"Die all of you! Sin Harvest!" Sephiroth shouted and halos appeared over the head of every remaining Heartless in the area. He unleashed his attack and destroyed each one easily. "Just leave it to me next time, will you?" Sephiroth tried to hide the boasting tone of his voice, but he failed miserably.
Kitsune and Ookami glared, hating being proven they were weaker then him. But they were glad the monsters were gone...
"Yeah, right, we'll just all sit back and let you handle everything. Look, we know you're strong, but we can fight too," Spyke said.
"Not nearly as good as me, though," Sephiroth bragged again.
Ookami grabbed the back of Kitsune's shirt as the younger female stepped forward to kick him. Kitsune glared and Ookami smirked. The two burst into a fit of giggles, gaining weird looks from everyone who bothered to pay attention.
"Alright, Mister Sin Harvest, have it your way, you go on ahead and fight everything. But when you need help, we will not be there, got it?" Cloud said.
"I don't need your help anyway, Strife. I can kill Ansem all on my own," Sephiroth retorted.
"Come on guys," Spyke whispered and everyone excluding Sephiroth and Cloud went to open the chest.
"You couldn't even kill a single Heartless out there!"
"Because you went and destroyed them all before half of us had a chance to fight!"
"You were just too slow to get into the battle!"
"The hell?" Xilver said.
"What? Why are we back here again?" Zell asked no one in particular.
"Last thing I did was open the chest, and now we're here," Sora said.
"Oh, great, another pillar of light. Think it leads to that next creepy looking thing over there?" Kitsune asked and pointed into the distance where they could faintly see the outline of another jagged structure.
"More likely than anything else. So, we go?" Spyke asked.
"Yep, we go," Cloud said, refraining from arguing with Sephiroth.
"Oh, great, Wonderland now," Ookami said as they walked through the next portal. The place was weird... with all of its weirdness. She wrinkled her nose. She couldn't stand the place.
"Well, Sephiroth, you wanted to take care of everything, so go at them," Zell said, feeling insulted by what Sephiroth had said earlier.
"Sin Harvest!" Sephiroth shouted and destroyed every last Heartless with his attack. "Now, for that chest."
"Go for it, Sora," Cloud said.
"Alright," Sora said and opened the next chest.
"Next portal?" Spyke questioned boredly at the repetition of procedure. Portal, fight, portal, portal, fight, portal, etc.
"Yeah, let's go," Zell said, obviously as bored at the pattern as well.
"Oh, the Coliseum," Spyke said halfheartedly.
"Sin Harv-, no, you guys go ahead, I need to rest up to fight Ansem," Sephiroth offered.
Ookami watched as Kitsune eyed him carefully. The other female probably had the same train of thought. Was Sephiroth saying that out of the kindness of his heart (Ookami smirked, doubting he had one) or because he really wanted to rest up?
"Seriously?" Cloud questioned.
Apparently, everyone was thinking the same thing, judging from the looks on their faces. They only had to wait a moment for the smart ass reply.
"Yes, now fight before I change my mind."
"Alright! Firaga!" Donald shouted, blowing a Heartless to smithereens.
"Tornado!" Goofy shouted and began to spin around, hitting Heartless with his shield.
"You're all dead! Meteor sweep!" Spyke shouted and flew up as if he was going to Meteor Slam them. He dove down, but instead of smashing one Heartless like he did the Behemoth, he flew in a straight line three feet above the ground, cutting anything on his right side into two pieces.
"I'm taking you all out!" Cloud shouted and began flying, his one black wing revealed on his left. He repeatedly slashed at the Heartless until he destroyed many of them, only leaving the ones his comrades were currently fighting.
"Gah!" Spyke shouted as he was struck down by a Heartless which had smashed him in the back of the head. He lay unconscious on the ground, his Keyblade a few feet away from him.
"Hahahaha! My very own Keyblade!" Sephiroth said and tried to greedily snatch up Spyke's Keyblade for himself, but just before he touched it, it disappeared and reappeared in Spyke's hand.
"Looks like no one but the wielder of his own Keyblade can hold it. Oh well, Seph, looks like you can't have one," Zell sniggered, angering Sephiroth to the point of attacking.
Sephiroth charged at Zell, sword pointed at his throat, but Zell dodged the blow, only to be struck by Sephiroth's fist in the back of the head. Zell fell unconscious and dropped to the ground, his sword still in hand.
"Sephiroth!" Ookami shouted, eye twitching and fist clenched. Sephiroth halted immediately.
"Talk about control…" Xilver said to Kitsune who nodded, half confused half ignorant at the comment. Ookami glared at the two girls, before returning to giving the evil eye to Sephiroth.
"S-sorry…" Sephiroth said and threw potions to Spyke and Zell, who immediately sat up. "It will not happen again…" Cloud blinked in confusion and closed his hanging jaw.
"It better not," Ookami scolded. "Or I'll personally kill you."
"Ookami?" Spyke said shocked.
"Are you serious!" Zell asked, sharing Spyke's state of being shocked.
"She can't be! She'd never lay a finger on him to try and kill him! Much less hurt him!" Xilver said.
"That's right! She wouldn't do that!" Kitsune said.
"Are you sure about that?" Ookami asked, a fire in her eyes.
"Leave her be!" Sora said, trying to defend her, also trying to conceal the fact that he might just be falling in love with her.
Ookami's eye continued to twitch, obviously still annoyed as hell. She only had a moment to silently fume and watch the weird expression on Spyke's face before she was snapped back to reality by Zell.
"Hey! You coming, or do we have to leave you here?" Zell called to Spyke who noticed that everyone was at the chest, Sephiroth with Ookami hanging onto his arm, staring at her non-existent watch, bored.
"Yeah! I'm coming!" Spyke said and ran over to the group just as Sora opened the chest.
