I'm back, and ready to type a really long chapter! Don't worry though; the next one won't be so long. Any ways, here it is! But I think it's time to check up on my sibs, and other characters. Disclaimers: I don't own anything Kingdom Hearts, or Final Fantasy. I only own my family and this story.
"Your majesty, Riku's here." Daisy said, curtsying as she gave the king the news.
"Ah, good. And how's our patient?" Mickey asked, smiling.
"He's got a high fever, and is rambling incoherently. I'm worried, your majesty. What can he do?"
The king pondered the question. It was true they had no idea what this boy was capable of. But then again, he had been right about Riku. He knew that Riku was special, and he was right.
And he knew that this boy also had something special. But there were other matters to tend to.
The darkness was stirring again, but in a strange direction. One that he couldn't read. This is why he had asked Riku to come. Being a slave to the darkness had given him a keen insight that others didn't posses.
"Perhaps, Daisy it doesn't matter…Right now we need to deal with other matters. Please send Riku in."
She nodded, curtsied, and walked into the hallway.
"He's ready to see you."
"Thanks."
The silver haired teen, slowly walked to the throne.
"Your Majesty." He said.
"Riku, it's been a while, hasn't it?" Mickey answered with a small smile.
"It certainly has. But you didn't call me here to talk about that, did you?" Riku said, not wanting to waste time.
"No, sadly I didn't. I called you here about a new threat."
"What kind of threat?" Riku asked.
The king sighed. Getting up, he walked over to the window.
"Have you seen the boy?" He asked.
"Yeah… He's got a fever. A bad one. Why do you ask?"
"Riku…I don't know what kind of threat faces us. What I do know is that you and this boy are linked to it. The darkness is shifting in a direction I can't read. But I think one of you can. But we need to take care of him, if we're to know for sure."
Riku nodded. "But where'd you send Sora?" he asked.
"Leon sent me a message. There's a girl that appeared one day. The same way the boy did. But she wasn't sick. She's been staying with them, and learning magic from Merlin.
Her name is Selena. I sent Sora, Donald, and Goofy to take her to other worlds with them. She'll hopefully learn different magical abilities."
"You're not fooling me, what are you thinking, your Majesty?" Riku laughed.
"You'll find out soon enough…"
"Come on, we can do this." Megan encouraged.
"I don't wanna!" Isabelle pouted.
"Izzy!" Patrick scolded. "You have to, whether you want to, or not."
"I wanna go home!" Izzy complained.
"Well you can't! Grow up!" Pat yelled.
"Pat! You're not the boss of me!" She countered.
"Guys, cut it out!" Megan said, irritably. "We're not getting anywhere, and your bickering is making it worse! So stop!"
Once she had there undivided attention, she led them farther into the darkness.
"What do the three of you long for?" a voice called.
"I'm scared!" Izzy screamed, grabbing her older brother's hand.
"Who's there?" Pat called, trying to look brave.
"It's a weird disembodied voice! We should kill it with a water gun!" Megan said.
"Megan now is not the time for your stupidity!" Pat sighed.
"Pat now is not the time for your heroics!" She said, smiling.
"I'm gonna kill you! Now shut up!" He snapped.
"I'm here to help you. What is that you long for?" the voice called out again.
"Well," Pat said, after an awkward silence. "I want to be stronger."
"What about you? The little one?"
"I want to fall in love." She sighed loudly.
"And how about you, the sarcastic one?"
"I want excitement, adventure, to be stronger, and to fall in love!" Megan answered, shouting at the thrill of her thoughts.
"I can give these things to you, if you want them…"
"Are you kidding me! I want it!" They all shouted together.
"Wait!" Megan said, thinking it over. "What do you want from us?"
"I only want your skill as mercenaries. I can train you to be the best. Then all you need to do is follow orders, and you'll have what you want."
"I don't know…" Megan said, unsure.
"Megan! We gotta!" Izzy yelled.
"She's right! Besides, what else are we gonna do? Wander around in the darkness?"
"Alright, you've got a deal!" Megan called out to the darkness.
The whole day had come as a shock to Selena.
Sora was here to take her to learn magic from other worlds, by order of King Mickey! She wasn't sure if she was excited, or not.
After all, she had grown used to Hallow Bastion, and in a strange way, it had become sorta like a home to her. But she still was happy to go and learn magic, and see other places.
So yes, she was excited. Merlin had given her a ton of magical items that she would need. Yuffie had cried her heart out for five minutes, and even Leon told her goodbye.
So now they were on there way, to Agrabah! The four of them would soon be standing in the hot sand. One dog, one duck, the key bearer, and an inexperienced Magic user.
Selena couldn't wait! Soon she'd be a master in magic.
She walked around the little Gummie ship, humming. It drove Donald mad!
"Will you stop it! You're gonna…" He was interrupted by Sora.
"Relax Donald, I was the same way when I came on to the ship for the first time, remember?" he said, putting his arms behind is head.
"How could I forget? Well at least she handles it better than you."
"Hey! What's that suppose to mean?" Sora asked.
Selena rolled her eyes, and walked to the window. The stars were beautiful. It reminded her of the times she played hide-and-go-seek with her two cousins, and her younger sister.
Izzy, the youngest, would never sit still for too long. Pat blended in so well it was hard to find him. He was only a year younger than Selena. And Meagan, she was…silly. She didn't take anything seriously.
Selena's thoughts were interrupted by Sora.
"Whatcha thinking about?"
She looked up at him.
"Hmm? Oh, I was just thinking about my family. The way we used to play hide-and-go-seek. My sister, right before she got to base, she'd say something silly. My cousin, Pat, you couldn't find him. He blended in too well. Then the youngest, Izzy, she wouldn't sit still for too long, so keeping up with her was a challenge."
"How about you?" Sora asked.
"Me? I don't know." She shrugged her shoulders.
"So, do you have other family members?" He asked.
"Yeah, I have to older brothers. Corey's the oldest. Then there's Seth. He's…"
"We're here!" Donald Called.
"Come on." Sora said rolling his eyes.
This is it! Selena thought. My chance to learn more magic. Gotta stay open to everything. She thought, getting off the ship.
In front of her stood a vast amount of sand. There was a city up ahead, but it was a good distance off.
"Heh, well we better get started huh?" Sora said, trying to be optimistic.
"Yeah, let's go!" Selena called out, bubbling with enthusiasm that could rival Sora's.
Well, that was pretty long. But next chapter things will heat up under the desert sun. Will Selena stand in the face of this strange new threat? Or will she falter? Also, who is this mystery boy that has a bond with Riku? Well you'll see, next Chapter! But for now, Chapter three is up! Don't forget to read and review!
