Yay! I'm back! I'm sorry about making you guys wait so long! I've been very busy! So, here's Chapter 3!
Chapter 3: The Adventure Begins (finally!)
"Destroyed!" Riku yelled. He paused. "How do you know if they've fallen into the wrong hands or not?" Yoake just stared at him as if he was an idiot.
"Think about what I've just said." Riku pondered this for a moment. "I get it…Wait! You never said anything about your Twilightblades!"
"That's because I don't know anything about them, Mr. State-the-Obvious!"
"How do you not know anything about your own weapons!"
"I didn't get them until three weeks ago!"
"WHAT! YOU'RE TELLIN' ME YOU LEARNED ALL OF THAT STUFF YOU PULLED AGAINST THOSE HEARTLESS IN ONLY THREE WEEKS!"
"Actually, twelve hours of training every day except Sundays and holidays my whole life would be correct."
"Whoa…" Everyone stood in silence (again) for a while. Then: "Well, when are we going?" Riku asked.
"I was thinking about now," Yoake grinned.
"How?" Riku looked around the path, as if he was expecting a Gummi Ship to pop up out of nowhere.
"Let's just say…I've got my own way around." Yoake pulled out a round silver pendant with a pink crystal in the middle.
"How's that supposed to work?"
"I just put this around my neck, or in this case, our necks, and say the name of the place I want to go backwards, then we're teleported there. It's as easy as 1, 2, 3!"
"Okay…" Yoake put the necklace around everyone's neck (they had to kneel in order for it to reach Mickey). After everyone was prepared, Yoake said: "Ainala." Almost instantly, their surroundings became all pastel-y and melted away.
A few seconds later, the three were standing-er-kneeling out side a very elaborate Greek-ish palace.
"Where are we?" Mickey asked, looking around.
"Didn't ya hear her? She said 'Ainala,'" Riku said as if it was the dumbest question.
"Well, you probably weren't paying attention to what I said about my pendant, for I said the name backwards. We're actually on Alania," Yoake replied and the same tone.
"Oh…why are we here?"
"I need to pay a visit to my cousin." Yoake walked though the palace gates.
"What! We're on a mission! It's not time for FAMILY REUNIONS!"
"I know. I just need to talk to her for a few seconds." Yoake turned to the butler. "Hello, is Princess Sami there? This is Yoake, and I need to speak to her."
"This way." The butler led Yoake, Riku, and Mickey into a cozy library. It was almost empty, except for a spiky-haired boy reading a book on…something. A few minutes later, a girl long brown hair, bright blue eyes, and dressed in jeans and a pink halter-top walked into the room. After talking to the reading boy for a second, she walked over to Yoake and hugged her. Riku just stared at the girl in shock.
"Oh, Sami I'd like you to meet-." But Sami already pointed at him and started yelling.
"I-I-IT'S YOU!" Riku responded in the same way.
"IT'S YOU!" Yoake just stood there, confused.
"H-How do you know each other?"
"HE FAUGHT AGAINST SORA!"
"SHE WAS WITH SORA!"
"Well, it's nice to see we're already acquainted. Now, let's get down to business." Yoake turned to Sami. "Do you know anything about the Blade Masters?" Sami shook her head.
"No," she said. I have only heard of one master, and," Riku joined in when Sami said, "that's Sora."
"Of course." Yoake rolled her eyes. "Now, there are many other people who have these 'Blades.'"
"Like Sora's got Keyblade, there are some people out there with the Lightblade, Angelblade, Nightblade--"
"Darkblade," Yoake coughed.
"Yeah, yeah…Heartless--"
"Heart"
"WHATEVER! – blade, and she's got the Twilightblades, in which she is too dumb enough to figure out their powers." Yoake glared at Riku.
"I'VE ONLY HAD THEM FOR AWHILE!"
"Children…" Sami sweatdropped. She looked at her watch. "Five till one…Kaze!" The boy reading the book looked up. "Could you go get some water? It's almost time." Kaze walked to the bathroom. Sami pulled out a metal pail, set it in her lap upside down, and wrote something on it (it was "LOSER"). Kaze walked out of the bathroom holding a ball of…water? Yoake stared at the boy.
"How are you doing that?"
"Magic." The boy smirked.
"Huh?" Sami walked up to Kaze, letting him drop the ball into the pail.
"I'm a wizard." Sami nudged him.
"You're only an apprentice!" She walked over to the open window with the pail. As soon as she set it down a ladder was propped against the window ledge, and up popped the red-haired head of a boy about Yoake's age.
"Toby…" Sami sighed. Toby's eyes shone with admiration.
"You know my name!"
"Of course I do. You've been following me around like a puppy for three weeks!"
"I have another poem for you!"
"Nice, but first…I've also have a poem." Sami grabbed the handle of the pail. "Violets are blue, roses are red. We're not like Romeo and Juliet…SO GO SOAK YOUR HEAD!" She dumped the water on Toby, placed the pail on his head, and pushed him off the ladder. A few seconds later, there was a thud.
"Is he okay?" Yoake asked, staring out the window.
"I hope not. That was a five story fall." Riku stared at Sami with utter disbelief.
"Wh-Wha…WHAT WAS THAT ABOUT!" Sami sat down in a big cushy chair.
"You dance with the boy just one time at your cousin's sweet sixteen, and he thinks you're his girlfriend." She rolled her eyes. "So…getting off of that…what do you need to know?"
"We need to know where we can find the Blade Masters," Yoake said.
"Well, I might be able to help you, but…" Riku rolled his eyes.
"Of, course, there's always a 'but.'"
"…will you take me with you?" Yoake and Riku just stared.
"Uh…why?" Yoake asked.
"It's been so boring lately, especially since the group went back to their home worlds."
"Okay…"
"So…Can I come?"
"Uh…sure…"
"Yay! Can Kaze come, too?"
"I guess…"
"Yay! And can we round up my friends?"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa!" Riku said. "Who said that you can invite all of these people?" Sami tucked some of her hair behind her ear.
"Well…I had promised them that I would take them with me if I go one another adventure…"
"Oh…"
"C'mon, Riku! If she's goin' with us, she'd be happy if we invited her friends, too!"
"Um…did I say no?"
"Yay! Thank you Riku! Thank you, Yoake!" Sami hugged the two silver-haired people. "C'mon Kaze! Let's get ready!" She and Kaze walked out of the library.
"Uh…Sami…you never promised your friends that…"
"I know! I just said that to convince them to allow me to invite my friends!"
After Sami changed her outfit to something more "adventure-worthy" (a pink cape, white tube top, and a pair of black pants with chains on them) everyone climbed into Kaze's Gummi Ship (Riku was complaining about how is knees hurt after using Yoake's pendant) and they were off to…fetch Sami's two friends, Lizzie of Youseiatae and Sarah aka Celebi of Kheldar.
