Chapter 3:Anti Federation ship-Diplo
"You've heard of them, haven't you...?"
"Heard of what...?"
"The darkness, boy. The Darkness, and it's hooded followers. What are they called...? Organization Thirteen?"
"I believe so"
A soft motion of rubbing fabrics could be heard in the distance as a sigh from the first voice settled into the mid day air.
"Well, If it's affecting Aquira, which it is, then we need to do something about it!"
It was a small group, or a rather large one, a party consisting of four females and four males. The male that had spoken first, Fayt as he was known settled against the green railing connecting the over bridge that lead to a great white castle. The female that had last spoken, Nel, maneuvered herself to rest her arms around the males torso. She bore a short skirt which was required for her line of work, not prostitution, but a leader of an information gathering organization for the queen of her kingdom. She had symbols embedded into her arm's crawling to disappear up her short sleeves. Her specialty: Runolygy.
"Fayt, This is similar to one of Aquara's teachings; 'the land embedded into a dark thats black is beyond night, out come its creatures to collect hearts for a kingdom beyond the heavens'" Fayt twitched slightly. "Lately, Elena has noticed that in half of the subjects that have appeared lately are...soul less"
Albel grunted as he placed his mechanically contract hand over his blade, Crimson Scourge. In his stead, he silently studied the boy in the distance, a blond boy. One that he'd never seen. Since he had spent more than four to five years with 'friends' traveling, he's seen more than his half of Aquaria. The boy was a fresh face. The matter could be simply to worship in the Maidens castle since it attracted many follower's from the vast of waist lands to Airyglyph, his hometown itself!
However, the reason of such suspicion to the boy was because of the striking resemblance he had towards a certain boy he'd fought months back..
"Roxas..."
The bandaging on his chest tightened and loosened as his breathing picked up quite heavily, not enough to attract attention. A low breeze that covered the surrounding, Aquria, a kingdom on Elicoor II in co-operation with the kingdom of Airyglyph. Beautiful in the day and night the same, the serene environment was composed of radiant green tree's and the Vandaloo Falls, a waterfall in which receiving its name from the certain calming aura or smell, if you must, that reached into the town. Beyond the houses and workshops and variety of shops was the temple, a part of the infamous castle in which her majesty resided in. A low hum of harmonics reached his ears as the lyrics "Love me Do" reached his ears. The local bar. Blinking slightly from his daze as the petite female next to him grabbed his arm.
"Hurry up, Albel, We're gonna get left behind!"
The sense of urgency in Sophia's voice suggested that they must indeed hurry, taking a last glance towards the area were the blond stood, in this case once stood, he mentally cursed. No one was in the resting spot. It didn't matter, he had it in motion that under the cover of darkness he'd set himself to find the blond.
Naruto groaned as he slid out from the cavern, cursing a storm as the freshly bleeding wound on his head covered his whisker's in fresh blood. Taking his free hand, the other gripped the Wishmaker, he ran it across the wound which emitted a light glow promptly healing the wound and regenerating the ripped skin. The blood however remained.
Before he had time to complain what would appear as a battle cry reached his ears, whipping the dust away from his brown cargo's as his net shirt shriveled as his crouch was released, descending him into the air. He groaned in frustration.
"That would be my cue"
Landing lightly on his feet as he pushed the female towards the ground, not taking time to glance towards her, he swiveled from his tall position into a low stance, guiding the key to capture the attacker's torso in a wide sweep, using the momentum as he allowed his foot to twist in an un-humanly way, as the heel of his wooden sandal kicked away the wounded foe.
"Riku!"
"Sora-"
"Naruto-"
"Same shit, Stupid!"
"I'm not stupid, you egotistic bastard!"
Standing a few meters apart as Riku clutched his side into his palm, starring smoothly into the blond's eyes. In a cool annoying way that he knew would tick the blond off, instead of charging in for an attack, he heaved the black blade to rest onto his shoulder blade.
"Well, well, well. The Key chooses a new master, What are you doing on this side of the land, turd?"
Naruto bushed the taunt aside as he turned his attention the blue haired female, crouching down towards her as he did all her could to avoid staring into her eyes, the Wishmaker momentarily disappearing as he moved her hand aside her bleeding leg, the familiar glowing palm healed her wound quickly. His hand extended to help her up...
"Thank's, i guess..."
Naruto grunted a welcome as the key manafested it's self again.
"Your name is..?"
"Maria, Maria Traydor"
"Uzumaki Naruto, At your service"
The blond smirked as he rushed forward, his feet tapping lightly on the ground, the collision of speed and force that erupted from his legs crushed the ground as an insane grin spread across his face. Though he usually didn't enjoy fighting, there were rare occasions that made him actually lust for fights. Especially when his opponent was someone who reminded him of a once friend...
Reaching kissing distance his feet swayed enough for him to bend behind his foe, who arched himself underneath the blond kicking upwards and planting his foot firmly onto the boys chest, launching the blond into the air. Naruto grunted as he managed to parry the blow with the key's side, frustration swept over him. How could there still remain s much distance in between him and the other...?
As his spine slammed into a hovering tree above and Riku launched himself forward, a sweeping wind of low crawling shadows, heartless. Which charged upwards from the dark aura emitted from the black blade incoming slash his for struck forward with. A steady release of pulsating red energy crept from the blond as his blue eyes momentarily turned a crimson red. The concentrated chakra enveloped the around the golden keyblade as he raised above his head-
Maria's eyes widened, she had witnessed such feats before. The hair's stood on the back of her head a sinister aura of a demon formed behind him, it was seen for a split second as the blond's grin returned and a fierce demonic yell bestowed form his lips.
"Dimension Door!"
Rain, Rain. Go away...
The steady rain belted the ground like the drumming of war feet swarming towards the battlefield, the leader was a man, he was alone with pointed black hair and fiery red globes, swirling blackness that enveloped the area and swallowed anything that was everything and stripped it from good. Draped onto his shoulder's was the blood and carnage of the dead surroundings and the only light that illuminated the beaten torn field was the collection of hearts that descended towards the sky and reached into the heavens and grasped the heart of the moon.
"Kingdom Hearts.."
He roared loudly as he raised the black blade over his head and his shadow split into one-two-three, multiple forms of hideous creatures that spawned into darkness.
"Lets go, filthy demons. For Helencia will not conquer itself"
Naruto pushed himself up from his bed posting as he pressed his back against the white walls behind the bed post.
"Here"
The voice handed him a glass of cold water, which he drained before bing pushed back down into the beddings again.
"Where am I...? who are you..?"
"Maria Traydor, Currently I've apprehended the your situation after you've successfully 'sealed the keyhole to the world' as this 'Riku' explained...I owe you a favor. So I've decided to assist you in your mission-"
"How are you going to do that! You've no way to travel the worl-"
Thats were you're wrong" Maria let out calmly. "Welcome to Anti-Federation Ship-Diplo, I'm captain Maria Traydor"
For the first time in the four months he'd been stuck on the dead end rock he had found a way off, Lady luck was on his side. Forgetting all about the dream as he closed his eyes and allowed a smirk to play his lips.
"Thanks, Maria"
Well, I've finally caught my second wind at writing again. I'm sorry about the delay and the mistakes on this chapter, I fixed them up and I'm going to submit the next chapter in a few; which I'm currently finishing up.
Thank you for all the reviews, non-the-less they always make my day and i appreciate comments, Someone gave me an interesting idea for pairings and I'm planning on taking it into consideration. I should also mention that i plan to reveal more people in the next chapter, including a lot of KH characters/ FF characters/Disney characters. Till then, hang tight.
Again, thanks.
Vandaloo is a fragrance, perfume or whatever. Those falls will play an important part later.
