Kingdom Hearts-Shattered Fragments

Fragment 51-The Wrath of Fragments


Upon entering the castle, they were ambushed by metalbodies and searchlight heartless. Cedeile purfied five in one swing of the heartblade, while Ryu took out two with his sword. Using some fancy magic, Aru got rid of some of the pests. Cedeile flipped up in the air and used Holy Purification to take out the rest. She landed and they fell on the ground, disappearing.

"Where is Mindy?" Ryu asked. "You think she'd come to see what all the noise is about."

"And there are no sevants here. It's all dark..." Aru stated. The three scrunched in closer, standing back to back. A whole ambush of shadow heartless came up from the floor.

"What the hell do we do now?" Cedeile asked, looking at the vast amounts of heartless.

"What we always do. Fight." Ryu jumped up in the air, drawing his blade. Several heartless jumped up at him, but he sliced through them. Cedeile wipped out the heartblade and swung it around. Each shadow heartless in her path got engulfed in a column of light from underneath them. Aru folded her hands together, seeming to be praying. The heartless took their chance and came foward, getting ready to attack. At the last moment she opened her eyes and extended her hands.

"FIRA!" She yelled. They burned instantly. Cedeile purified them to clean up the mess. Ryu cut down the last few before they disappeared into the floor again. He wiped his forehead of sweat.

"Someone really wants to keep us away from Mindy as she reaks havoc on the village." Ryu said as the girls came forward.

"But why? And who?" Cedeile asked, thinking.

"We'll find out when we find that little bastard and teach her a lesson." he replied, sheathing his sword.

"We should still be careful. I'm sure there will be more heartless as we get further in the castle." Aru said.

"Let's not wait for them to find us here then, huh?" Cedeile said, running up the stairs ahead of them. They followed behind her, moving swiftly upward.


A little girl sat on the floor, holding what appeared to be a doll. She had short blond hair and said ruby eyes. Her clothes were rather strange-a short black dress with sleeves that covered her hands completely, and her legs also were covered in black. She seemed very sad as she played with her doll house.

The pink doors of the room burst open. Cedeile, Ryu and Aru cautiously entered the room. The girl looked up at them, glared slightly and stood. The group, weapons drawn, still came forward.

"Mindy, I presume." Cedeile said to the girl. She nodded.

"Why have you come into my castle. No one is allowed here unless I say so." The little girl sneered at them.

"Tough. We've decided you need a time out." Cedeile taunted. She brought out her heartblade. "Holy Purification!" she yelled, sending the cross of light at her. She bought up one of her arms to block, and the light hit a dark barrier that only appeared when it was hit. Something glimmered on her wrist.

"Is that a fragment?" Ryu asked he others. Mindy smirked.

"It is a fragment. I got it as a gift. See?" she held up the other wrist. "I have two..."

"Did that hooded man give them to you?" Cedeile asked, bearing her teeth. The girl didn't say anything, but look at the three of them, as they had surrounded her. Her eyes darted from one to the other, moving around the room.

"Mindy, you have to release the villagers. Your people are suffering without them." Aru said gently.

"Them, suffereing? No...I'm the one all alone...I'M SUFFERING!" She wailed. A gust of energy came at them like a wave of ocean along the floor and knocked them all off their feet as she screamed.When she finished, she pounded her fists on the floor. A shockwave like an earthquake shook them again.

"Wood!" Aru called, moving her hands up to the sky. Vine came out of the carpet and wrapped around Mindy's arms. She tried to pull out of them, but they were too strong. Instead, she attempted to move her hands while caught in the vines. She reached out her hands towards Aru and then snapped them shut, squeezeing on air. Aru suddenly gasped for breath and grabbed her throat.

"Aru! Are you okay?" Cedeile called. Mindy squeezed harder. Aru gasped for air, and was forced to release the spell. The vines crumbled away as Aru slumped down on the ground, breathing heavily.

"This is my new power. And with it, I'll make everyone stay with me forever and I'll never have to be alone again." she told Ryu and Cedeile as Aru tried to ease the pain out of her neck.

'She's right! It's as if someone really had their hands pressing harder against my flesh, choaking me to death!' she thought in her head.

"Ever heard of 'child's play?'" Cedeile taunted as she ran in for an attack. Mindy turned to face her and made a smacking gesture with her hand, and Cedeile went flying, hitting the ground hard on her shoudler. Ryu looked down at her, as she had landed right near him.

"You can't do that. We need some sort of tactic to get around those hands." Ryu said. Cedeile nodded.

"I've got an idea. You run in and distract her. While she's useing something on you, I jump out from behind and smack her with a purification spell." She whispered to him, standing up.

"Sounds good. Let's go." He charged forward. Ryu brought out his sword, looking like he was ready to attack her. She pushed out her hands, and Ryu was knocked back as if he had been pushed. He fell right into Cedeile behind him and landed on her.

"Ryu! Get off, you're heavy!" she gasped out.

"Sorry." he said, letting her get out from under him. "Are you okay?" he asked, turning back to her. He stood up, helping her get to her feet. She brushed off her clothes.

"I'll be fine."

"I didn't expect that. We'll need a new plan." Mindy began to laught. The two teens turned to look at her.

"Can't you see? It's hopeless for you to win against the power of my fragments." Mindy told them. She reached out her hands, closed them, and raised them into the air. Ryu and Cedeile felt themselves rise into the air."Even big kids like you don't have any power over me!" She threw them into the opposite wall.

"FIRA SHOT!" Several fireballs hit around her wrists. Aru kept shooting without relent. Cedeile rubbed the back of her head.

"Man, look at Aru go!" she exclaimed.

"Keep it up, Aru. If she hits the fragments, then they'll fall off and she'll become powerless." Ryu explained, getting up. "We should move in now, Cedeile. You'll have to purify her." Cedeile nodded and the two got in closer.

"FIRA SHOT!" A few more fireballs burned across Mindy's arms.

"Enough of your game." She smacked Aru aside, turning to Cedeile and Ryu coming towards her. She looked right at Cedeile as she and Ryu stopped in their tracks. "You'll make an excellent addition to my doll collection..." she said. She summoned up a great power from the doll house behind her. It rose up in an incdecent light that looked much like the fragments, except more transparent. It shot up into the air and then came down, zooming towards the heartblade master.

"Cedeile, move!" Ryu yelled, tackling her aside. She fell to the ground behind him and he got hit by the light, instantly disappearing.

"Ryu!" Cedeile yelled, reaching out to the place he once stood. Mindy looked curiously at where the boy had been as well, seeing that the heartblade master was still normal sized.

"Well, it is always hard to find boys to play." Mindy said. Aru ran over to Cedeile. She pulled on her arm.

"It's no use! Let's leave!" Aru cried as the magic energy in the room picked up.

"But Ryu-!"

"Cedeile, we have to get out of here!" She dragged Cedeile along, and then the girl willingly gave up and ran behind her. The little princess smiled as they dashed away. The doors closed behind them, and she let the magic die down.

"At least I got a new doll to play with." She smirked, turning to her doll house.
