Chapter XIII: Zoke the Fury

(Fira POV)

We made it past the Thunderplains and now ended up in the Macalania Forest. Anna and Millie got too excited and ran into the Forest getting lost. Now Zero, Vale and I are out trying to find them.

" HEY FIRA!" Zero shouting running over.

" You found em?" I asked.

" Nope" Zero replied.

" I was unsuccessful as well" Vale said stroking his hair. I don't believe he even looked…

" Damn we've searched everywhere in this forest" I said.

" I know" Zero said.

Suddenly Anna came walking out of some bushes.

" Guys!" She said starting a small run and stopped infront of us.

" Where have you been?" Zero said. "Ya had us worried sick"

" Sorry master" Anna said bowing. " But we found somebody really hurt over here…he looked really bad"

" Huh and Millie's with this person?" I asked.

" Yes come on he's hurt pretty bad" Anna said running off. We ran behind her and she led us to a small clearing where the sun shined through the forest. Lying there on the ground was a huge ronso. He had platinum white hair and blue fur all over. He wore a white robe like attire with white gauntlets.

"A ronso" Zero said.

Millie was lying down beside him using all of her cure cards to try and bring him back to consciousness. I walked over and she looked up at me.

" My magic isn't strong enough to revive him" Millie said.

" Then lemme give it a try" I pulled out three Cure cards and used my Curaga Sleight on him. He opened his eyes and got up fast while looking around at us. He picked up his axe like lance and pointed it us. I drew my keyblade out of instinct.

I flipped backwards dodging his massive lance then rushed him hitting him across the chest with the Keyblade about 3times then pushed him back with a fire spell back up card which I kept tucked away in my glove. He looked as if he was unfazed by the attack then rushed me he attached some cards to his weapon giving it a blue aura then rushed me with his shoulder. I fell down on my back then jumped back up double kicking him.

I attached three attack cards to my weapon and rushed him. But quickly he attached 5cards to his lance and rammed the lance into the ground and a white energy shield covered him. I struck the shield but it only sent my flying back.

(Author's note: The Sleight the ronso just used was Mighty Guard)

He rushed me with his lance pointed directly at me. I held up my keyblade and closed my eyes but nothing happened. I didn't feel any pain.

(Normal Mode)

When I opened my eyes standing in between me and the Ronso was Millie.

"We're not your enemy Mr.Ronso" Millie said. The ronso had stopped and he just stood still, he held his lance in one hand while looking at her. I stood up and put away the Keyblade.

"Phew…" I said letting out a deep breath. Man I thought this guy was gonna kill me.

(Later)

" I am Zoke…The wandering ronso" He said as we all sat around a fire. " It has always been a dream of mine to travel the world and see many things"

" Yea that's been my dream too" Millie said.

" So…why were you all banged up and stuff?" Zero asked lying down on a tree branch from up in the tree.

" A ran into strange men in black" Zoke replied.

" Whoa…so they've been here we're on the right track then" I said.

" You look for men in black?" Zoke asked.

" Yea…we gotta score to settle" I replied.

" A really big score" Zero said.

" Yes I have to get married" Vale said pulling out his ring. " Kiako will love it"

" Zoke will assist" Zoke said.

" What?" I said.

" Zoke will repay debt to human boy Fira" Zoke said. " You save Zoke's life"

" Ah you don't have too it's not your fight" I said.

" Zoke will repay debt" Zoke said.

" Well come to think of it we need guys with powers like yours" I said. " Welcome to the team Zoke" I said standing up.

" Zoke is honored" Zoke said bowing his head.

(Zoke has joined the Party)

Zoke's has a high level of strength and blue magic. He can use his lancet card to copy techniques and sleights from others and use them. Zoke's deck has a very little portion of Attack cards it's filled with White Magic and Lancet cards. He can also fuse with Fira making a white cloaked Fira that wields a Lance Keyblade.

(Author's Note: I made up the Lance Keyblade it's a really long keyblade with the handle in the middle of the staff)
