Before we start...(throws Link into her bedroom and locks it)
Well I've got nothing to say except this: I'm kinda tired of the disclaiming part so I'm only going to put it up one last time. I'm going to make this last one count for the rest of the fic.
I DO NOT OWN ANY CHARACTERS IN THIS STORY BESIDES MY OCs. ANY WORLDS THAT POP UP ARE SE's. IF I MAKE ANY WORLDS IN THE FUTURE, I OWN THEM.
Now cutting to the chase. (cracks fingers)
Kinoarashi: Thanks for the link, man! I've sent them an email and am waiting for their response. I'm hoping... (crosses fingers)
Ninja Mage: Do try to ask him. It's not that important but it would be much appreciated! As for Tidus, I have something 'better' planned for him... (begins laughing evilly)
Doomboy2000: Thanks, dude! Your wish is my command. (updates)
L4by4: I don't worry about length that much! At least I think not...
Kari: . . . Your chapter is not long enough.
Med: WHAT?! (types furiously)
The Legend of Kingdom Hearts
Chapter 8 Meet the Solo Survivors
Sora and Kari whirled around. In front of them was a large army of shadows, each were eyeing them menacingly. At the front was what looked like their leaders, twice the size of the shadows, stuffed in soldier armor. They had small claws with red nail nails at each end. Pairs of unblinking yellow eyes stared at their prey from their helmets. In the middle of their armor was a large black heart with two red swords crossed on it. What amazed Kari was that she didn't notice them until now.
"Two little humans out for a stroll?" said one of the armored ones.
"Make that dead humans in a few seconds," laughed another. "Right, boys?" The army shifted slightly as the shadows jeered.
Sora put his hand in front of him. "Do you have something to fight with?" he whispered to Kari. She was one step ahead of him; her sword was already out and in her hand.
He smiled a little and turned to the mass. His hand in front began glowing. A few seconds later, a weapon appeared in it. It looked like a cross between an oversized key and a sword. Yellow at the handle and white at the sword itself, Sora pointed it at the enemy.
"Ya want some? Come and get some, midgets!"
The crowd moved swiftly towards Kari and Sora. Kari immediately leapt up and slashed a few from the air. The minute she landed she was slashed at the head, only to have the owner cut down. Her blood fell to the ground in a few droplets.
Ooooo, ya'll are going to pay for that!
Kari held her sword up and continued her rampage through the collection of black.xxxxxxxxxxx
Nearby, Sora was dealing quite a few to the armored. He managed to cut down a few of them; it didn't seem to matter, though. It seemed as though every one he destroyed, another ten replaced it.
Great. Just what I needed, he thought.
In the midst of the battle, the black shadows suddenly began piling on top of each other. After reaching about 5 ft, the tower began spinning very fast towards the warriors.
In the middle of the battle, Kari and Sora found themselves back to back, still fending off the creatures. Hearing a bizarre noise behind them, Sora turned slightly.
"Holy shit! Kari, get out of the way!" he cried.
Kari turned to see the ominous tower heading towards her. She stood there staring at it, as though it entranced her. Her weapon dangled limply in her hand.
When the tower was about to reach her, Sora ran and pushed her out of the way. It missed them by inches, though it managed to nick him in the leg, and hit a pole. The overlook split back into the shadows; when each hit the ground it disappeared in a puddle of darkness.
From the impact, both Sora and Kari landed sprawled on the ground. Kari didn't move but was still breathing; she had apparently fainted from shock. Her sword landed not too far from her.
As Sora was recovering, one of the armored shot a claw out to his chest. He managed to catch it in time, but forgot about the other one. It smacked his face firmly, sending him back to the ground. When Sora picked his head up, his enemy loomed above him menacingly. It seemed to smile as its claws began to reach for his chest again.
He closed his eyes in defeat. It was all over now. He would never see his island again; he would never see his friend again. His entire world was turning black.
Just as he was about to embrace it, the soldier backed off. Sounds of screeching were heard not too far away. A man suddenly entered his sight. Weakly, he opened his eyes. The man had brown, shoulder length hair and was carrying an odd weapon, but that was all he could decipher through blurriness.
The man seemed shouting to someone off to his left. Sora couldn't catch it; from tiredness he closed his eyes yet again.
"Yuf, for once be quiet."
"SorrySquallIjustcan'thelpmyself!" The reply was hasty.
"Well I'll help you shut your mouth up! And it's Leon!"
"Zidane, don't you even dare," another female voice piped in dangerously. There was a small rustle.
"What? I was just making sure that the girl was okay." A slapping sound was heard. "Ouch!"
Kari opened her eyes slightly. A stony wall met them. She then noticed a throbbing pain in her temples. She picked her hands up to them.
"Oh great, you woke her up, idiot," came another female voice.
Kari sat up slightly and turned to her left. Watching her were three girls, one with long black hair, one with long brown hair in a braid, and the other was a ninja with short black hair, and two men, one that looked oddly like a monkey crossed with a human and the other with a scar on his face. The monkey boy had a red hand print on his face.
To the group's right was another small bed containing Sora. He seemed to have been awake for a while; he was still laughing at the monkey boy's slapping. He had a bandage around his left ankle and a small, fully healed cut right below his right eye. Other than that, and a few small bruises, he seemed fine.
"Great to see you're up," he said with a smile.
"Okay...Where are we, what happened, and who are they?!" Kari asked.
"You're in the headquarters of the Solo Survivors," answered the monkey boy with a grin. "We just happened to rescue you and your friend from a nasty bunch of Heartless."
"They're the creatures that attacked you, remember?" said the woman with long brown hair to answer Kari's confused face.
The girl with long black hair stood up. "As for introductions, this is Sq- Leon," she said pointing to the man with a scar that was leaning on a door. "That pervert over there is Zidane" – she pointed to the monkey boy-"This is Aerith," –she pointed to the woman with long brown hair; Aerith began bowing politely-"Ms. Hyper here is Yuffie," -the ninja began waving her hand quickly with a big grin-"And I'm Garnet."
Kari offered her hand. "Glad to meet ya'll." Aerith shook it. "But why did you bring us here?"
"Some people came looking for you," said Zidane. "Do you know anyone named Zelda and Link?"
Kari nodded. "Where are they?"
Leon got off the door and opened it. The minute he did, two blurs rushed out and landed on Kari. Just like in the hospital bed at Hyrule, there were screams of joy as Link and Zelda reunited with her.
