Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts or Charmed
Well, the secret is out. Sora now knows who he is, but is it enough to help him remember his past? Is he really going to remember or will he think of Amanda as even more of a freak? Find out in this chapter!
Yuna, Rikku, Paine, Mari and Dyana all dashed out of the school gym on their way to see if Amanda and Sora had made it to Auron's alright. As they ran, Tidus, Gippal and Baralai soon joined them, and started hammering them with questions.
"We'll explain later!" Dyana shouted, "Amanda and Sora might be in danger!"
As they ran though, they were disturbed yet again by another friendly face.
"Wait guys!" The Principal shouted, halting them. The group waited impatiently as Mickey caught up to them.
"What's wrong?" Mari asked.
"Sora! I remember! I remember everything! Maleficent cast a spell to erase the memory of those who came in contact with Sora at any point! Sora's the Keyblade Master!"
"We knew that!" Mari said, "The sisters told us."
"Why didn't you tell me?" Micket demanded, "We probly could'a avoided any disasters!"
"It wouldn't have helped." Dyana said.
"Leo told us that you had to remember that on your own." Mari added.
"Didn't he also say that everyone would remember him once the Keyblade Master himself was told…?" Yuna said. Dyana and Mari exchanged irritated glances.
"Dammit Amanda!" Dyana shouted in fury,"Why I oughta…"
"Hey! Where's Yuffie?" Rikku asked suddenly, remembering that Yuffie was absent.
"She's getting' Leon and the gang." Mickey said, "She remembers everything too!"
"Wait! I thought Yuffie was a student!" Mari said.
"Nah, I remember that I was well aware of Sora's position and had Yuffie enroll in the school as a student right before I was zapped of my memory!"
"Interesting…" Mari said, actually quite fond of the idea.
"So Yuffie isn't 16, is she?" Rikku asked mournfully. Mickey shook his head.
"Probably around 20, 21.years old." Mickey replied, "But that's not the point!"
"Well then what it?" Dyana asked not irritated by this useless distraction, "Because as of right now, my cat hasn't had her yearly supply of mouse meat, and I'm pretty I'm pretty irritated right now…"
"Well remember when I first talked to you girls? When we had to move to the castle to have a private conversation? Well that person listening in- was one of Maleficent's henchmen."
"And…?" Dyana said, still irritated.
"It wasn't just anyone. It was Riku." Mickey said.
"What?" Mari asked.
"Dude, c'mon now. We know he's an ass and a jerk…" Tidus started.
"But the guy can't have any special powers." Gippal finished.
"Oh my god…" Mari said, a horrifying realization slamming her straight in the face, "It all makes sense."
"It explains his overpowering ability to change even the nerdiest person into a popular jerk off." Paine added.
"How he always though he was the head honcho of the school.." Yuna said, adding another piece to the puzzle.
"And why he always hung out with Kairi." Rikku added.
"Wait, what's Kairi gotta do with this?" Mickey asked.
"Paige heard her saying something behind Sora's back." Dyana explained, "She said she was diffidently apart of this plot."
"Oh no!" Mickey said, "This isn't good at all! Poor Sora! When he-"
"AH!" Mari said, suddenly jumping up, "Amanda! Sora! Riku! He was the one on the rafter! He tried to kill Amanda! He tried to kidnap Sora too! And now he's probably headed for the shack!"
"No time to lose!" Auron suddenly appeared out of the shadowy alley that lead to the spot the gang stood.
"YIKES!" Rikku squealed, "DON'T DO THAT AGAIN!"
"Girls, time to put your skills to good work!" Auron said, pulling out his Kanata. Yuna, Rikku, Paine, and Mari nodded.
"But I don't have a cool dress sphere…" Dyana said. Mickey reached into his pocket and grabbed them.
"Here! Take these! Their Yuffie's old ones. She said they just didn't work for her and to tell Leo she's sorry."
"Damn!" Dyana said, grinning happily, "Today just keeps getting better and better!"
"I know this is all hard for you to remember, but you have to." Amanda said, trying to reason with a –now- totally lost and confused Sora. He buried his head in his hands, and shook his head violently; trying to relinquish the throbbing pain that over took him.
"It can't be!" He said gently, "It just can't! I'm no hero! I'm not even somebody worth mentioning."
"And yet here you are, in this book of Magic." Amanda replied, determined to not let this be a waste of time, "I know how you feel. You never though something like this could happen to you. But it had already happened! Maleficent whipped your mind clean of everything! To stop you from protecting the hearts of innocents!"
"It isn't right!" Sora said, "If this really was true, and I really was this 'Keyblade Master' person, then where the heck is this 'keyblade?' I should have it, right?"
"That's the problem!" Amanda said, getting up and pacing the floor, "Maleficent took it away from you, so you're memories couldn't be refreshed! But if we can somehow find a way to reunite you with it, it might just be your only saving grace."
"Saving grace?" Sora asked, not looking up at her with an awkward look, "What do you mean by that?"
"Someone is after you." Amanda explained, "Someone who wants you dead… At least, I think… I just know someone bad is after you and whatever they want you for isn't good!"
"Okay, okay." Sora said, sitting up straight, "So, how do we this keyblade thing back?"
"Will you stop calling it Keyblade thing?" Amanda snapped, "It sounds retarded coming from the Keyblade Master himself!"
"Okay! Okay!" Sora said in compromise, "I get it, no more Keyblade thing…" But how do we get it back?"
"Well, according to the book…" Amanda said, reaching over the table to snatch the book. She skimmed the first few paragraphs until she found what she was looking for.
"According to the book, it says that you can just summon it to you…" Amanda read.
"How?" Sora asked, "Am I suppose to use a ritual or something?"
"Ugh." Amanda moaned in irritation, "No you dimwit, all you need to do… is just think about it…?"
"That's easy enough." Sora shrugged, and closed his eyes. Amanda waited several minutes before Sora blinked one eye open and asked, "Did it work?"
"Did you even TRY?" Amanda demanded, placing her hands on her hips and giving him one of those looks of irritation. Sora grinned sheepishly and his face started to redden.
"I WAS…" Sora's face turned a crimson red, "But then I got distracted…"
"By WHAT? Amanda demanded, her irritation level rising well above the danger zone.
"By some girl…" He said almost as if he was terrified to say it.
"Well get your head out of Kairi's ass and focus on your job." Amanda snapped, causing Sora to look at her with a look of complete and utter shock.
"But I-" He started, but Amanda cut him off.
"Save it dude," Amanda said, giving up all hope that she was going to accomplish this on her own, "When Dyana and Mari get here, they can convince you. I'm done trying to get you to believe me. All you wanna seem to do is fuck off. Well, I'm sorry, but I don't have time. I'll be in my room making preparations if you need me, and please- don't need me." Amanda then turned around on her heel and stalked down the hall, leaving Sora sitting on the couch with the horrible feeling of guilt within him.
Good job Sora. He said to himself, realizing he really screwed up again, She tried to help you, and look what you did.
Suddenly he was ripped from his thoughts by a crashing sound from the back of the hall. Sora jolted up and down the hall, towards Amanda's room where he saw a black hooded man in the doorway, his back turned to face him. As he approached he man, he watched as he stepped further into the room, towards whatever had made the crashing noise. He ducked to the side and watched as the man laughed triumphantly.
"Looks like your little plan backfired on you." The man said. Sora heard a moan of pain and then someone speaking.
"That's what you think." He heard Amanda's voice say right before the man froze in mid-stride. But the man unfroze as quickly as he had frozen and laughed once again.
"You powers don't work on me." He said, "Your as good as dead, witch."
Suddenly, Sora was lunging into the room, something in his hands, and struck the man to the ground. The man looked up dazed and shocked as Sora stood over him, glaring down at him.
"Tell Maleficent I sent my greetings." Sora said, right before he lunged at the guy again, causing him to shimmer out. Sora stood up and looked around the room and spotted Amanda in the corner, covered in scratches and gashed from the shelf of photographs and decorations that had crashed onto her. He bend down in front of her and asked, "You okay?"
"Oh my God." She said, her jaw almost touching the ground, "You… You… You did it!"
"Did what?" Sora asked slightly confused. Amanda pointed to his hand, and when le looked, he saw what appeared to be a large Key.
"What the-?" Dyana and Mari asked, standing in the doorway with Auron Mickey, Yuna, Rikku, Paine, Tidus, Gippal and Baralai all standing behind.
Amanda watched as Sora looked at the gang, and then back at the Keyblade. She watched s his eyes dilated and them returned to normal. He looked up at her, with a new look in his eyes that she had never seen before -a look of confidence and pride-, and said, "I remember everything."
He remembered! YAY! All it took was a simple attack from a demon to work… who woulda thought… or was it something else? Riku and Kairi are behind part of this, but how… and why? Why do they want Sora? And how did they become the way they are? Review for more!
