KINGDOM HEARTS: This World Tallon

by RedMageMoogle

This one's a lot later than the first two, kupo. Prolly because I'm being lazy and can't tear away from Metroid Prime 2 Echoes long enough to get anything done. Without spoiling anything, I can say that I now have the Gravity Boost, kupo. Anyway, here's the third chapter, taking One Winged Kuja's advice, it's a bit longer. On with the show, kupo!


-Phendrana Drifts, Shorelines-

You know, to anyone else, the Drifts of Phendrana would have looked like a winter wonderland.

Not to the Space Pirates. They'd much sooner fill it with their ugly technology and buildings.

Samus sighed. Hell, even she liked to stop and view the scenery every once in a while when she wasn't on business. Too bad she was. Really, she was only here because her Scan Visor, always running in the background, had picked up Pirate presence in the Drifts--as well as the Heartless the Federation had ordered her to investigate. Samus hated the Pirates, hated them for what they did to her kind. They would pay the ultimate price for the pain they caused Samus, by her hands, no doubt.

As Samus counted the Power Bombs she could use to blow them to smithereens, she heard shouting off in the distance--in the Space Pirate language. Her Translator Module automatically converted it to English.

"Today, my fellow Pirates, is a glorious day for us and the Heartless indeed! For we have captured none other than the Keyblade Master himself!"

Samus heard the word "Heartless", and wondered what the Pirates wanted with them and this "Keyblade Master". Samus took up position behind a nearby stalactite whilst cheering ensued from a large crowd of Pirates, and the speaker went on.

"Soon this blasted Chozo haven will belong to the darkness, and the Hunter along with it!"

"DEATH TO THE HUNTER! GLORY TO THE SPACE PIRATES!!"

"Furthermore--"

Cut short by Power Beam fire.


-Phendrana Drifts, ???-

Sora finally woke up, in a basic kind of prison cell, devoid of his Keyblade. He wondered what was going on outside, and where Donald and Goofy were, not to mention Jiminy...

Mother of Mercy, it was cold in here. Sora figured he must be in that icy region again.

Going on the best he had, he used a piece of the chain on the left side of his red bodysuit to pick the lock open. Hearing some shouting outside, then weapons being fired, he looked out a rather small window to see a person in a powered armorsuit blasting away at these "Space Pirates". Whoever it was, they were doing one hell of a job--the Pirates weren't expecting them and were caught off guard. Down they went. The armored person started to walk off, as though it was looking for something. Whoever it was, they found it--it had blown open a crate, and in that crate was the Kingdom Key.

A Heartless decided to show up and claw at big-armor-suit. They shot at it with a stream of light energy, killing the Heartless almost instantly. Afterward, big-armor-suit somehow rolled up into a ball, glowed for a bit, then went on its merry way at a high speed, the "Pirates" in hot pursuit.


Samus rolled up into Morph Ball form, and Boost Balled her way towards and consequentially through the Pirates' prison facility. She would have gone on foot if she did not have angry Space Pirates on her back, but this was much quicker--she lost the Pirates easily, since she took suck a twisty, turny route so as to shake them off. She stopped when she reached the cell the kid had been in. It was a basic jail cell, as the Pirates must have thought this "Keyblade master" was an idiot. Alas, the Keyblade master was a lot craftier than that--the door was wide open with the kid standing in the middle of the hall.

Idiot, my ass. Samus chuckled in her head.

"Seems I got here a bit late," Samus muttered, tossing the Keyblade to Sora. "I wanted to blast the door down."

Sora got a chance to look his "savior" in the face. It was a relatively feminine facial structure, well, as much as he could see through the visor, anyway.

"I see you've met the Heartless," Sora broke the rather short silence.


Kupo! I hope that's O.K. If not, I'll just do better next time!
