6H:Ah, it's time for a new world!
Anaretsu: Boring.
6H: This one is called...
Kingdom Hearts-Shattered Fragments
Fragment 56-Oblivion Mountain
They came to a stop outside of a cold looking place. It consisted of a single, high rocky mountain with some trees growing on it. The small gummi ship came to a stop as its three ocupants curiosly examined the strange, dark world.
"Hey, Ryu." Cedeile said, uncertain. "What is that place?"
"I'm not sure...there's no data on the world radar about it." He pulled out the fragment radar. "And the fragment radar is getting nothing too."
"So it doesn't seem reasonable to stop there, does it?" Aru said. Cedeile looked down at the world. She felt cold just looking at it.
"Maybe not...Ryu, land this ship there now."
"Why?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
"It's just a feeling I have, but I think that there's something important there. Besides, there is a keyhole on that world, right? There might be people who need our help, you know?" He sighed and brought the ship down closer.
"We'll take a look around for a bit, but we won't stay too long, okay?" he didn't get an anwser, but didn't really care. There was something unnerveing about the world they decended to. Like it wasn't real, or just an illusion made for them. Or that maybe Mallificent was there waiting, maybe a dangerous demon, or Sephiroth...they hadn't really gotton over that encounter yet. Or that hooded man could be there also..it was all unsure. And the fact that there was no information on this world was a little curious as well.
It seemed to be a world of night. The moon sat up in the sky like it was too heavy and might fall on them. The sky was starless. There were a handful of trees on this world, much like mountain terrain. It seemed all there was to this world was just the mountain and a single path that twirled around it.
Cedeile nervously stepped out of the ship first, like a swarm of high speed ninjas were going to jump out of no where and carry her off to their secret mountain camp and serve her and her friends to meat eating pigs. Ryu follwed closed behind her, hand wrapped around the hilt of his sword, just in case. Aru came out last, setting her foot on the ground as if it would fall through.
"Well, it seems safe enough." Cedeile said, dropping the heartblade to her side.
"And it seems like there's nothing here. No one even seems to live here at all, let alone be here. Let's get out of here, guys."
"I'm with Ryu." Aru said. "We don't know how many unnessicary dangers we'd have to take, and it's vital we get to Hallow Bastion as soon as we can."
"I can't leave...something pulls me onward..." Cedeile muttered, looking at the path ahead of them. Ryu walked up to her and grabbed her shoulder.
"Look, I don't know what's here, but we don't need to find out, do we?" he asked her. She turned back to him.
"Yes, we do. I don't know how, but there IS someone here. An they're waiting for me. Don't ask me how I know, cause I'm not sure. But this person could be the person I have to save at the end. That's what's been pushing me onward when times get bad-that person. Someone in a dream told me 'Only you can save him.' I haven't figured out the 'him' part yet. Hell, I don't know how I'll be able to save him and from what. So I have to do this. You guys don't have to come if you don't want to. But there's someone here. I can sense them..." Ryu let go of her, a little stunned that she was suddenly so smart.
"Now that I think of it, I do feel the prensence of an aura towards the top of the mountain. It's faint, and I can't tell much about it, but it's faintly there." Aru mentioned. Ryu sighed, outnumbered.
"Okay, we'll stay. And I'll even come with you to keep you company." he said, adding the last part slyly.
"Thanks guys. Let's go!" they all ran up the path. They barely made it ten feet when they were ambushed by shadow heartless, metalbodies, fat bandits, and gargoyle heatless. They all stood their ground.
"What a welcoming comittee!" Ryu commented. "I haven't had a good fight in a while."
"Cedeile, you go up ahead! Ryu and I will take care of these." Aru told her, beginning to summon fire in her hands.
"You sure?"
"Yeah! Go now!" Ryu exclaimed. Cedeile jumped up over the horde and continued up the mountain. Ryu turned his attention back to the heartless. "It's just you and us now. But this was your biggest mistake!" He went forward and moved his sword in a spiral, slidding through them and skidding along the ground behind them. To his great pleasure, several shadows disintigrated. He smiled breifly before a fat bandit turned to blow fire at him. He jumped back and then lept forward, dealing a mid-rate blow to it. Aru used Wooda to tie up the gargoyles and electrified the metalbodies. One took her off guard by coming behind her and smacking her down on the ground. After she hit, she cast a thunder spell on it and it staggered back. She stood above it, fingers folded together so that her index fingers pointed out at it.
"Bye bye." she smirked at it. "FIRAGA SHOT!" It blew to bits. Aru heard the vines of her wood spell snap as the gargoyles came free. They flew up above her. "You just don't know when to stay down, do you?" she taunted. "BLIZZAGA!" Two of them were frozen, but one swept down at her, knocked her off her feet. She got back up to cast an earth spell just in time, smashing one to the ground. "EARTHA!" The rock crushed it flat.
Ryu wailed on the back of a fat bandit as it stomped around from anger. It finally faced him.
"Crap." The fragment hunter got caught in a blast of fire. He tried to guard himself, but it was a useless effort. He staggared back and then fell on the ground. After recovering, he looked up to see to fat bandit jump up into the air and come down on his hard. He yelled out. Aru turned, distracted and got hit by a metalbody she had been taking care of. When the fat bandit leaped up, Ryu opened one eye and smirked. His blade's hilt stuck out of the giant's midsection. It looked down in surpirse. "That's right, stupid. I got ya." he whispered. The heartless disappeared slowly, and his blade fell to the ground. Aru got back up off the ground and cast Aqua on some of the gargoyles. Ryu stood back up. "How are you on MP, Aru?" he asked.
"I'm fine for now. But any more and I may have to just fight with a stick!" she yelled. Ryu threw her an ether.
"We can't have that, now can we?" She smiled in grattitude and continued fighting. Ryu joined in, cutting down a few more shadows.
Cedeile ran higher and higher up the mountain path. It was extremely quiet up here, and the wind blew every once and awhile.
'It's strange that I'm not being ambushed. It's like the heartless want me to make it to the top of this mountain or something. I wonder if it's Mallificent that's really here...no, I doubt it. Evil leaders like fancy places, and this place is NOT fancy. Then who could it be that's here?' She dashed up further, turning at the edge and heading up till she reached the only other flat ground in the world besides the one their gummi ship was parked on all the way at the bottom of the mountain. She stopped running and calmly walked forward, seeing a great, black structure loom into view. The mountain had been blasted away, it looked like, and the structure had been built, hiding in the moonlight. Now that Cedeile had a better view of the moon, it seemed like there were a few cracks in it. She looked at the building before her. It looked like a rather big church. She figured there was no harm at looking inside, so she walked up to the doors and pulled them open.
It was almost pitch black inside, had it not been for the moonlight fully lighting up the purple and blue stain glass window behind the alter at the end of a long aisle. Everything else besides the window was black. Cedeile could make out a figure standing before the alter, its back facing her.
"H-hello?" her voice trembled as she spoke. The figure turned, facing her.
6H: cliffie!
Anaretsu: I'm sure that there are tons of cliffs on a mountain, baka.
6H:No, I mean I wrote a cliffhanger and now everyone will give me tons of reviews!
Anaretsu: No they won't! It's way too obvious who it is! It's-
6H: NO! (tackles Anaretsu)
