Kingdom Hearts-Shattered Fragments
Fragment 14-I am a hero!
-
"I can't believe I broke my sword..." Ryu sobbed. Once again, the three of them were jammed into the tiny cockpit of his gummi ship.
"Maybe when we get to Traverse Town, Cid can make this thing a little bigger."
"Hey! This is my gummi ship, remember! I could just let you guys walk to the others worlds. Besides, I like having two ladies so close to me..." he smirked. Aru and Cedeile looked at him in horror for a few seconds before both wacking him over the head.
"HENTAI!" Cedeile screamed. Aru...she just screamed. Ryu sighed.
"Geez. You guys have no sense of humor."
"And you have a really cruddy one." Cedeile retorted. Suddenly, the fragment radar started going off. Cedeile lifted it out of the cartridge on the control pannel and studied it.
"Wow. Says there's at least one fragment in the world in front of us." she said. Ryu looked for the said world.
"It's called the Collesuem. The description reads 'a battle area where heros prove their strength'. Sounds a little lame to me." Ryu said. "Besides, we have to get back to Traverse Town to get my sword fixed." he reminded them.
"Hello! Aren't you a fragment hunter? Since when does the hunter let his prey get away?" Cedeile asked. Ryu sighed.
"Alright. It doesn't seem like a big world, so we could take a look. But we aren't gonna stay too long."
"Then let's land, already!" Cedeile demanded. Aru laughed.
-
They walked through the huge gates and found themsevles in an open courtyard. The sun shined down on the golden sand floor.
"It's good to be in sunlight again." Aru said. Cedeile nodded.
"Yeah. Nightville was cool, but all that darkness started to get to me." Cedeile and Ryu couldn't help notice a rising blush on Aru's face. They both smirked secretly to each other.
"Whatever! Let's just get this fragment and get out of here!" he yelled. So the group continued to walk across the area. On the other side of the courtyard was a pair of doors. They climbed the steps to the doors and proceeded through them. Inside was dim and cool. The room was lit by torches, but it appeared to be empty.
"Hey! Hello? Anyone here?" Cedeile called. "We're looking for a fragment!"
"Yeah, like that helps. Remeber, Cedeile? Kai had never even seen a fragment before, let alone knew what it was called."
"I didn't!" Aru suddenly shouted. The two looked at her. "I mean...uh...nevermind." They shook their heads.
"Can we just find the fragment and leave?" Ryu asked, getting annoyed.
"Hey!" a voice said out of no where. They looked around the room and found that a half man/goat thing was standing before them. "What are you kids doing here?" he demanded.
"We're not just 'kids' you little punk. We're fragment hunters." Ryu said, kneeling down to the...uh...person's level. He pulled out the bottle that held the three shards in it and showed them to him. "Ever seen one of these?"
"No, never. And I'm not a 'punk.' I'm Phil, and I run the place, and I'm telling you kiddies to get out!" he yelled at them.
"Hey! I know what you are! You're a centaur!" Cedeile said, very proud of herself.
"Um, Cedeile? That's a half horse, half man." Aru said timidly. Cedeile smacked her head.
"I guess you're right." she admitted. Phil sighed.
"Well, you don't look half shabby. The cloak guy and the girl with the braid might just make it as heros. As for shorty..." Aru glared at him.
"What do you mean, 'shorty'? I'm just as good a fighter as these two!" she insisted, trying to stay calm.
"Yeah right, kid."
"It's Aru! That's my name! Not shorty, or kid or punk! And I just so happen to be a very advanced magician."
"Oh yeah? You don't look like it!" Phil challenged.
"Then give me some tests. I'll show you just how good I am!"
"No Aru! We just came for the fragment! Remember our main goal right know is to-"
"I know! But I'm not gonna let some goat man who's half my size insult me and my magic!"
"Alright, let's go out to the area. I'll show you just what you gotta do." he said, walking into the hall in front of them. The three followed, Aru with a determined look on her face.
-
Cedeile and Ryu sat in the stands, while Phil stood on the wall. Aru was out in the arena, standing before many barrels. Cedeile leaned on her elbows, sighing, while Ryu had his legs and arms crossed, his eyesclosed.
"So, what do you think he'll have her do?" Cedeile asked.
"It doesn't matter. I just want to find that damn fragment and get out of here." he said, annoyed.
"Alright shorty!" Phil yelled. "You've got fifty barrels here. Smash them all in one mintue or under and you pass the test."
"Hah!" Aru said. "I can break them all in one move. It is a simple task." she said, walking toward the ring where the barrels were set up.
"Whatever. Ready? Go!" Aru threw her hands in the air, and then brought them down to the ground, causing a tremor.
"EARTHA!" she yelled. All at once, fifty pillars of rock came up from the ground and broke fifty barrels. Phil stopped the clock.
"F-f-five seconds? Not even Her-pah! That was only a simple test. You still can't be a hero."
"Then give me another test! I shall pass it all the same." Cedeile and Ryu sighed.
"Great." Cedeile said sarcasticly.
-
"This next test isn't as simple, shorty." Phil said. "You've got one hundred barrels on different level platforms all around the ring. I'll give you two mintues."
"It will be two mintues wasted." Aru declared. Phil gave the signal, and Aru moved to the center of the ring.
"AQUA PILLAR!" she shouted. From around her came a pillar of water that extended up to the sky, destroying all one hundred barrels. The water died down and Phil looked at the clock.
"F-f-four seconds? Herc can only finsih in one mintue, two seconds"
"So, I guess I am worthy of being a hero now, huh?" Aru taunted.
"NO! You're still just a little kid!" Cedeile and Ryu sighed again. It was going to be a l-o-n-g day.
"Then give me your hardest test. Once again I shall pass it in one move!" she declared.
"No Aru! Let's just g-" Cedeile tried to yell to her, but Phil already annouced the next test. Cedeile nearly fell forward on her face.
-
A pyramid of barrels stood before the magician. She glared at them, as if daring them to challenge her. And they probably would've cowered in fear, if they could cower. Cedeile watched and Ryu just left his eyes closed, truly annoyed that all this time was being wasted.
"Alright kid. Two hundred barrels are stacked here. Inside just one is a peice of glass. You've gotta find that glass in just thrity seconds. Not even my best student can do that."
"I have no worries that I can't pass this test. If I do, you must apologize to me for all the rude things you said."
"Pah! Like that'll happen. Ready? GO!" Aru stepped forward and put her hands together, as if praying, put left her thumb and index finger extended. She then pointed at the group.
"WOODAGA!" she yelled, her voice echoing across the arena. The sky darkened as the sound of breaking barrels filled the air. Huge vines bursted forth from the ground and broke several barrels in one shot. Suddenly, Aru saw a shinning peice of glass fall to the ground. She walked forward and picked it up. "Found it" she yelled, showing it to him. He stopped the clock.
"T-t-t-t-t-t-t-t-"
"What was my time again?" she asked.
"THREE SECONDS! IMPOSSIBLE!" Phil yelled, looking at his watch again. Aru smiled.
"You owe me an apology. And I think I'll be taking this fragment."
"That's the fragment?" Cedeile asked, standing up and running down to the arena. Ryu followed, walking to the wall. Aru held it up for them to see.
"Yeah, it's the fragment all right. Now we can finally get outta here!"
"Oh no you don't! I use that for hero training! You can't just waltz in and take it away!" Phil yelled. Ryu walked up to him, an annoyed look on his face.
"Never seen a fragment before, huh?" he taunted. Phil shook. Ryu then brought his leg around in a roundhouse kick which sent Phil flying across the arena. "That's for WASTING MY TIME AND LYING, YOU DIRTY CHEAT!" He yelled.
"Nice one, Ryu!" Cedeile exclaimed. "You were awsome out there, Aru! Really, you were." Aru smiled.
"Thanks, Cedeile. Sorry for taking up so much time, Ryu." he brushed off his shoulder.
"Not a problem. Let's just leave now." He said, putting the new shard in the bottle. The three went for the exit, but Phil ran up and blocked it.
"No! The shard or fragment or whatever, stays!"
"Hey! We're collecting them because they could fall into the hands of the heartless. If that happens, then your world could be destoryed. Ever think of that, idiot?" Cedeile yelled. He stood unmoving.
"You have to fight for it."
"God! Do you need me to kick you again?"
"Come on, guys. How much power can Phil have? He'll be easy to defeat." Aru said, smiling.
"Me, fight? I think you're mistaken! You have to fight the strongest man in the universe!"
"Just for the fragment? Come on, you could always use a stone or something for your stupid training." Cedeile said.
"Who is the strongest man?" Aru asked, curiously. Phil smirked.
"The one, the only-HERCULES!" he shouted. From behind him came a tall figure.
"Phil what are you doing again?" the figure asked.
"Hey, Herc! Wanna get some exercise? Why don't you beat up these kids?" Hercules stepped out of the hallway and into the light.
"I guess you're this 'strongest man in the universe' we have to fight for the fragment." Cedeile said. Ryu smacked his head.
"Can't we just leave?" he begged.
"Hey, wait. What's this fragment?" Hercules asked. Ryu took the bottle out of his cloak.
"These are fragments. We've been collecting them to keep them from the heartless. If one of these should fall into their hands, they would gain an incredible amount of power. That's why we're collecting them."
"And because something happens at the end when they're gathered!" Cedeile added. Ryu glared at her. "What?"
"I see. So that piece of glass was actually one of your fragments." Hercules said, sorting everything out. "Well, now that that's settled, I think we can let you three go."
"What!" Phil exclaimed, shocked.
"I don't see what the problem is, Phil. Let's just let them go. They are doing a good thing."
"But-I-you don't-they..." he stammered. "YOU HAVE TO FIGHT!" Ryu growled in frustration and went to draw his sword. He pointed it at Phil.
"Listen you-damn!" he yelled, realising his sword was still broken. He sighed, putting the handle back in the scabbard.
"Come on Ryu...let's go." Cedeile said, dragging him along. Aru followed.
"But you can't just leave!" Phil yelled at them. The three ignored him, walking back to the courtyard.
-
"Come on, Ryu. Let's just go back to Traverse Town." Cedeile said, trying to make him feel better. They walked back across the courtyard, Ryu sulking the whole way.
"I'm sure we can get your sword fixed, Ryu." Aru assured him. They walked to the world gates and then disappeared, back in their gummi ship and ready to go toTraverse Town.
A split second-no, not even that- after they left, three others appeared in the colesseum. Sora walked forward, looking around the place.
"Hey! Maybe Cedeile is here!" he said to Donald and Goofy.
"Can't hurt to look!" Goofy agreed. The three of them ran forward to the doors on the other side of the arena, while Cedeile and the others headed back for Traverse Town.
-
6H:Heh heh heh! Don't you love it when they just miss each other. Don't worry-Sora and Cedeile will meet up soon. Reveiw reveiw reveiw! And vote!
