Chapter 4 – Learning your Destiny
A/N- Here is chapter 4. I've gotten a couple of good reviews (which is more then I expected) so I'd like to thank everyone who reviewed it. This one explains a lot about the story and is all Nell and Sora stuff. So if you want Jiann and Kairi you're gonna have to wait for the next chapter. Well enjoy. Remember R&R.
"Get behind me and stay close" yelled Sora getting into his battle stance. Nell stood behind Sora as he started to hack away. These monsters weren't like the heartless she had found in her world they were white and bigger. She wished she could help Sora fight. He moved gracefully as if he had done this a million times but he had a worried look on his face like he didn't think he could defeat them. One of the white neo-heartless got past his attacks and came running at her. She dodged his attack and felt something tug at her hand she looked down and saw a giant key. It was red with flame patterns around the hilt. She swung the weapon at the neo-heartless. He was destroyed at the touch of her Keyblade. She went and joined Sora as he kept fighting. She swung at the monsters and destroyed every last one. After the fight she sat down against the wall.
She could hear her heart thumping in her chest. Sora came to sit beside her.
"I knew you were a Keyblade Master." Said Sora panting. "I'm glad cause those things were really hard."
Nell wasn't paying much attention to Sora. She was starting at her Keyblade. She had never seen one like it. Sora had shown her all of his Keyblades but none of them looked like this. Blazing Hearts she thought. That's what I'm gonna call it.
She finally noticed that Sora was talking to her. "…and you were awesome. I never moved like that when I first got my Keyblade. You were amazing."
"You really think so. I was just fighting. I didn't know I was good. My brother always fought for me." Nell said starting to blush. Her fighting skills were being praised by the guy who saved all the worlds.
"You are one heck of a Keyblade Master." Said Sora.
"I'm not a Keyblade Master. I'm a Keyblade Mistress." They both grinned at each other."
"C'mon lets get out of here before any more of those neo-heartlesses show up." They both got up and spent the rest of there walk talking about the fight.
As they reached the house Sora noticed the lights were on. He remembered turning them off. He also noticed that the door was unlocked. He summoned Kingdom Key as Nell summoned Blazing Hearts. He opened the door ready for attack when he saw Donald, Goofy, Yuffie, Aerith and Leon back.
"Took you long enough to get back." Said Sora smiling. Nell walked in sheepishly behind Sora.
"Who's the new girl?" asked Leon.
"Her name's Nell and she came here when her world was destroyed by heartless. And guess what. She's a Keyblade Mistress too." At those words the room went quiet. Goofy and Donald just stared at her in disbelief. Leon was deep in thought. Aerith and Yuffie were the ones who broke the silence.
"Welcome to the group. I'm Aerith. This is Yuffie. He is Leon. The duck is Donald and this is Goofy." She said pointing at each one. "What did Sora say about you being a Keyblade Mistress?"
"Ya, we were walking back here and we were attacked by these neo-heartless and one got past Sora and ran at me. I dodged it and noticed there was a Keyblade in my hand. So I joined Sora in fighting the neo-heartless." Said Nell thinking back on what happened (Donald had exclaimed "You were attacked by heartless!" but no one paid attention to him). Fighting had been so natural. She didn't think when she fought. It was instinct, pure instinct. She wondered where she got so good. When she noticed everybody was staring at her except Sora who was looking at the others with a weird look on his face, Surprised at their reactions.
"Why is Nell so special?" Asked Sora trying to figure out why they were staring.
"Because there has never been a female Keyblade master before," said Leon.
"Well the Keyblade chose a girl what's the difference between her and me." Asked Sora now getting annoyed that he was being let out on something important.
"Sora, a prophecy was made that said that when the Keyblade was returned to it's original owner then peace would be brought to all the worlds. The original owner of the Keyblade was the Mistress of all Hearts. A girl was the original owner. Now for the first time in thousands of years it is again in the possession of a girl." Aerith took a deep breath "Nell may be the person the prophecy is talking about. She may be able to bring peace to all worlds."
"Whoa, I could never do that. I've never fought in my life before now. I've never heard or seen a Keyblade before I met Sora. I can't be the Mistress of all Hearts." Nell said looking slightly worried she might be. "Plus, the Mistress of all Hearts lived a long time ago. I'm only 15." She didn't want such a large responsibility. She just wanted to find her brother and live in Traverse Town. She liked it here. She had all she needed.
"She could be your ancestor. Do you know anything of your family history?" asked Yuffie.
"No, nothing I don't even know my last name. I don't know anything about my dad's family. Not much about my mom's either. When I stayed with my aunt and uncle, my aunt didn't like to mention my family so I never learned about my mom's side." She wondered why she didn't know her last name. Surely her aunt would have told her but she never did.
"You don't have anything from your family members?" asked Aerith still looking for answers.
"No, except this necklace. I don't know where my mom got it, all I know is it belonged to her before she died." Nell answered pointing at the necklace around her neck.
"Where did you get the other necklace?" asked Leon quickly.
"It was around my neck when I got here. I've never seen it before yesterday." Answered Nell startled by how much these people wanted to know about her.
"If you have those necklaces, it is no doubt that you are the Mistress of all Hearts." Said Leon coolly like they were discussing the weather.
"That's great," yelled Sora, "you can help me fight the heartless and we can fight the darkness together…" Sora went on and on about how they would be able to fight and destroy all the darkness. Nell wasn't paying much attention. She was thinking about how she could be this Mistress. She didn't know anything about her family. Maybe it was fate or maybe somebody didn't want her to know she had a Keyblade Mistress for an ancestor. She snapped back into reality when she heard her brother's name. "Wait what did you say about my brother?" asked Nell, "We may be able to find him. If you come travelling with me then we may find him." Nell finally smiled. Some good may come out of this she thought.
A/N – Well that was chapter 4 and chapter 5 is done but I'm gonna put it up tomorrow. If some of you are thinking "real original a new Keyblade mistress." I know it's a plot point that is reused too often but it fit in with my story. If you want to learn about Nell's family history then you will like the next chapter if not then read it so you get the story. I never said you had to enjoy it but I hope you will. Anyway R&R and if you wanna e-mail me send it to
