Verum Lupis A Kingdom hearts and Beastars crossover
Chapter 3: The Return
After talking with Gouhin, Sisu and Skuld along with Chirithy about even more confusing stuff, like talks of some kind of war with keys or something. Sisu said she didn't know anything about that, as she had to save her place from something else.
And he did say about his dreams and feelings of déjà vu, such as being at Haru's gardening club despite not visiting the rooftops. This did give Skuld a confuse look, and shrugged at the wolf. Who's ears drooped from seeing the persona not knowing about it.
But with it being nighttime now, he needed to go back to school, before the others find him missing. And if they could do this another time, so Skuld, Sisu and Chirithy reluctantly agreed. With Gouhin just telling him to go already!
Having to get out of the Back Alley was tough, but he made it to the exit safely. Back into the city and saw Aoba and Jack across the street with worried looks. As the traffic lights turned red. he ran to them to say that he was safe. Which made Jack hug him in delight!
A few days later, two new students arrived. One was a female grey wolf named Juno, who Introduced herself to a some of the students she talked to. "I hope we'll get to know each other!" she said, talking to Legoshi and Bill as the other new student peeked at the hallways.
Legoshi noticed the familiarity of the other student, it was Skuld! And from the look of things, she looked pretty nervous as a confused carnivore student walked by. But seeing a familiar face of a certain grey wolf give her a happy sigh.
But as Gouhin told her, the Back Alley is told to be a rumour on the outside. Which sounded easy to the only human in the area. And with Juno, she was also talked about. With how different she looked and if she was the only one.
A part of her wanted to answer the question, but she just used a simple "I don't know.". However she did she Chirithy watching her from far away. But she still had to navigate Cherryton academy first, as it was a pretty big place.
So Legoshi helped the two new students out. Such as helping out with school work, of course. Later at lunch time, Legoshi asked Skuld weather she was a carnivore or herbivore. Making the girl a little confused at the question, but to make it simple. she answered herbivore.
The semi-amnesiac girl was still confused as she was continuing her schooling, but she did have Legoshi and Chirithy to help. as they did say she knew Chirithy previously, even if she doesn't know.
Still, where was she from? despite stating that she still doesn't know, she stood strong that she'll get to know herself eventually. But right now, she had school to deal with right now! Which had many different subjects to take.
"Excuse me, May i have a word with you two?" The pelican teacher overseeing the Drama club called to Juno and Skuld. Both of them answered a quick yes, which is how the both were now members of the Drama Club alongside Legoshi.
Now, both of them couldn't try to say about how they properly met. But they could talk when they're by themselves about how she came to Cherryton, such as she first woke up at an alleyway nearby the Black Market.
She was hunted by a hyena, who thought she was easy prey. However, she was lucky when Gouhin and Sisu saved her. Since she couldn't know where she was and who she was due to losing her memories Gouhin took her in as she was in a same situation as the dragon.
"And after meeting your cat friend again, they claimed I wielded a weapon called a keyblade, strange right?" She said as they went to their next classes. While Legoshi laughed at the whole thing and dismissed it, he felt as if it would be true.
Which the wolf was wondering if he could ask Skuld if she knew the kid in his dream, which unfortunately he didn't know the crystal kid's name! Maybe he'll find out when he has that dream again.
Eventually, as the night fell. The wolf got his wish to find the human boy, where he was back at the city. Only he was further away from where he was before, making the wolf look around the place.
One thing for sure was he saw a sign saying 'Quadratum cafe', so now he knew he was at now. Just where is Quadratum physically though? But he decided to leave that and just explore the empty city.
Which was very creepy, as cities were very busy. And all he saw was empty stores and restaurants. and even the cars were cleaned out. No items or food in it! So Legoshi walked ahead to find the place where he found the boy.
As he walked ahead, he carefully looked around the city in case the silver haired being came to attack him again. and eventually seeing a familiar crossway, in front of him was the familiar building with '104' on it!
Legoshi went to the place, trying to get up the rooftop. But all the wolf could find a way to it until he would give up! Only to see his arm with the same gauntlet, and the wolf looked up to feel a presence. Maybe he could use it to get up the top then.
As if he did it before, Legoshi began to jump from the nearby walls. Eventually, the wolf went to the same rooftop. where he could see the same creature in crystal, and somebody new was there. Unlike the other creature who attacked him, the being was wearing an all white cloak.
"So, you're here again." the new person said, clearly female as she didn't turn around to see Legoshi. The wolf was surprised at the female being knowing he was there before, taking a few steps forward to see the two creatures closer cautiously.
"You knew i was here before?" he asked, the creature nodded without turning to him. "Do you know why you're here?" she asked the wolf, who was lost from what she said. "No, all I know is that the person in ice needed help."
"Even so, I have little information as well. This boy's name is Sora." she said, letting Legoshi stand next to her. looking at the crystallized being. "Sora, so that's his name." looking at the boy again, now knowing the name.
"But, why is he here?" Legoshi asked the girl, who was quiet for a moment. "I don't know, I asked this realm's resident to help. And as you can see, he's like this!" the girl explained, making Legosi wonder what happened to him.
Only to have the area around him turn dark, the wolf was shocked as he looked around as the cityscape disappear and saw that the girl and Sora were also disappearing! "Wait!" Legoshi called out trying to reach out to them. "Just tell me your name!" He wanted a name in case of emergencies.
The girl turned around, taking her hood off revealing she had orange hair, look sadly at the wolf as Sora's crystalized state disappear a well. "Strelitzia! Until we me again." She called out to him as the wolf woke back up inside his dorm!
He was somehow lucky his mate just woke up, not mentioning that he wasn't talking in his sleep or something. But still, he had to get up and be ready for the day. Even If he was not prepared for the future. Like, how was he going to find Quadratum and try to get Sora?
But he didn't have time, as he tried to focus on his studies. And yet, he wondered if Skuld or Chirithy knows Sora. Or has heard of him, but what could he know. As he also barely know them as well?
After a few classes, Legoshi and Skuld went to the Drama Club to help out the other students with some practises. The only human in Cherryton Academy was still nervous at the other students, as she was worried about being eaten at any moment.
But she was okay with Gouhin, Sisu and Legoshi. As she felt safe around them, simply because they helped her with getting used to the city. While many other animals were interested, yet just went on their lives.
Skuld couldn't feel like she was being watched, of course she did live with Gouhin in the Back Alley. But one feeling of being watched was pretty cold! But she didn't want to bother the people around her.
Eventually a week past for all of them. And another weekend came to, where Skuld asked Legoshi to help her out with some things at the city. "Of course, did you need anything?" he asked the human girl, who just wanted him to accompany her for something. Maybe she forgot and would remember anything as they got out.
They went to the shopping center, just looking at some of the wares where Skuld couldn't decide to buy. Soon, she bought a star shaped neckless. With Legoshi buying it, and continued on their way.
Maybe they could go to Gouhin at his clinic and meet him again to ask some questions, but that they needed to go without nobody following them. "So to Gouhin's it is then!" Skuld called out as she walked, with the big wolf following her lead.
But before they can, something happened around them! As the people at the city all disappeared in the middle of the day! Surprising the both of them, It was just like in the fog the day they met.
"What is going on?" Legoshi wondered, as he felt the familiar feeling of his gauntet 'Red XIII' as Skuld and Chirithy dubbed his weapon. Which was pretty weird to call a weapon that name.
But what was Skuld going to have? as they both saw a figure far away from them. Legoshi noticed the familiarity of him, the gazelle from his dream! Maybe he knows about the weird stuff going on lately, such as Riz's disappearance and the stuff from Gigas' and the labyrinth in his dreams.
Skuld followed the wolf as he went towards the gazelle, also wondering if he knows anything. But before they could do anything, the gazelle snapped his fingers. And a couple of smaller Gigas' came out of thin air!
Legoshi was prepared, but it looked like Skuld didn't have anything! So he had to attack the Gigas' away from Skuld as he attacked them, one almost attacked Skuld! but Legoshi couldn't make it, but as the only human in Cherryton held her right hand on her neckless.
Until a bright light came from her neckless, pushing the gigas back. And making Legoshi cover his eyes! Until the light died down, they both saw what appeared to be a giant key, having a silver cane with a star as the blade. Purple handle guards, and to complete it. Her neckless was the keychain!
"Skuld, what is that?" The wolf asked his friend, with a few seconds of silence from the girl. Only then, she was getting a headache. Memories flooding in like a tidal wave, eventually seeing her go inside a jail cell, where where one day. She vanished and appeared in Cherryton City.
Legoshi ran to her to see if she is okay. The human girl opened her eyes, only to look around and gasp in surprise! Legoshi looked around as well, seeing the city is now a labyrinth!
Just like his dream before, but this time it was real! And more Gigas' went to attack them! Only to have Skuld take the fight with her weapon. Destroying them as if they were nothing!
The wolf was impressed, seeing her weapon disappear. Only to have turn around, with confidence in her eyes! No more shy and scared girl. "Come on, we have to find him Legoshi!" she called out to him!
No time to ask Skuld anything as more Gigas' got in their way! So both of them got the hang of it, where eventually. Red XIII went from one to two, and when they were out of battle, the gauntlets became fingerless gloves.
It was really confusing in the labyrinth, as they kept on finding dead ends!
Getting to the center of the city, or what it was in a labyrinth. As they continued battling Gigas' as they went, Which was still in place. But Legoshi felt uneasy, which now manifested in a giant Gigas!
Luckily, they saw Gouhin and Sisu coming to help them. "Say, where did you get the Keyblade?" the blue dragon asked the raven haired girl, the girl flinched at the question. "don't have time, we have a giant Gigas here!" Skuld said, as the monstrous being smashed it's battle hammer! Luckily, they all dodge in time.
Gouhin aimed his crossbow at one the being's eyes, making it roar in pain! And both Legoshi and Skuld attacked one of it's legs, from a better look. Legoshi noticed the familiarity of the being, having the feeling that it looked like Riz!
With Sisu helping make a ramp for Skuld to attack one of it's arms, only it wasn't the arm with the hammer. But it made it loose it's grip, somehow. So Legoshi used his Red XIII gauntlets to attack it's left leg to attack as the Gigas rose it's hammer.
with another roar of pain, it gave Legoshi a headache. It felt like Dejavu again, as he saw Riz looking at him, ready to battle him at an empty place. But now was not the time, as the Hammer Gigas attack them again!
"Having a swell time are we?" they heard a voice as they battled the huge creature, seeing the gazelle behind the monstrosity. The Gigas itself ignoring the being behind it, Making Skuld call back to him in annoyance. "Why yes, this is pretty fun! want to bring a cake!?"
The gazelle just said nothing, and when the Gigas swung it's hammer again. They all dodged, and saw the gazelle nowhere to be seen. And with the giant weapon now stuck in the ground, Legoshi saw an opening!
With a deafening roar, it became nothing in defeat. But hey all saw what was in it's place, Riz. The bear was hugging himself, mumbling something to what they couldn't hear as they went to get to him as Cherryton City become it's old self again.
"Riz, are you alright.." Legoshi asked before the bear shouted at him in fear! "Don't go near me!" he shouted, as dozens of onlookers noticed them. Summoning a hammer and smashed the ground!
Riz himself was then taken in forcefully by a pinkish orb with a forest and dark looking castle behind him, only then to have Skuld and Chirithy appearing beside her to go in despite protests!
Without even thinking, Legoshi followed the two as they all went into the portal! not knowing where they would be going or land.
"Ohh, big guy is not dead!" a strange and unfamiliar voice said, making the wolf stir. groaning as he got up, next to him was Skuld waking up as well. "Are you alright!?" the wolf asked, concerned about her safety.
"Yes, I'm sorry for the way I acted without any idea." she said, and looking at what was beside Legoshi. "And what are you?" making the wolf look down to his left, seeing an unfamiliar small creature.
Who then backed away from them! "Gurgi sorry!" it apologized, and then running away into the forest! Making Skuld give a small comment on how adorable it was. "Just, what is going on?" Legoshi asked Skuld, who was trying avoid his gaze.
"Hey, are you two okay?" called out a voice. Interrupting their discussion quickly, they got up and looked back. Seeing a young man with red hair and yellow clothing, holding a stick. alongside him was a small pig tagging along with him.
"The name's Taran, looks like you fell from the sky!"
