A.N. So second and final part of Poisonous Beauty sorry for the cliff hanger last chapter (not really) but here you go... Also it will rewind a bit so that you know what happened before the cliff hanger at Nausea 's house. So just to be clear it is before we switched to Yugo and the group that went after the Severum
Disclaimer: I do not own either of the fandoms used in this crossover fic
Chapter 12
All was calm in the eniripsa's house as Goofy and now Eva kept watch for the ever looming presence of the Heartless. Goofy watching out the windows and Eva watching through the window on the door, Goofy looked at Nausea as she placed a new damp cloth on his friends head. Then to his horror he watched as in a flash the keyblade appeared within Sora's hand.
The appearance of the keyblade could only mean one thing, and in Sora's condition it could come end in the worse scenario. Eva was also staring at the weapon.
"Eva, Percedal, watch your backs!" Goofy called out as he summoned his own weapon. Eva pulled out her bow and Percedal got into a fighting stance, hitting Rubilax on the ground, changing the shushu's form. They all went to different sides of the bed and watched for any heartless that would show themselves.
Sora's breathing hitched and a heartless attacked. Before it could get within striking distance Eva pulled back an arrow and let it loose, the small shadow fell back and the arrow lodged itself in the wall as the heartless disappeared.
The arrow firing seemed to be the trigger to an all out assault of heartless as dozens began pulling themselves from the shadows. Nausea tried keeping them off her patient with the use off potions and spells. Goofy launched his shield, knocking back a group of five heartless, it didn't take long for them to get up from the attack and more to join their ranks.
Eva shot arrows every which way as heartless began surrounding them. Percedal, being the Iop that he is, through himself into the middle of the battle, swinging Rubilax as the heartless attacked, he laughed madly as he took down another one.
"I've got to fight with you guys more often."
Goofy looked to Percedal to argue about the Iop's way of thinking; however that one moment of distraction was all it took as a heartless lunged past his blind spot. Eva readied an arrow a little to late as the heartless was inches from Sora's prone form.
"No!"
"Sora!"
The four watched as the heartless brought it's arm back for an attack, it's claws poised for the kill, then stared in shock as the shadow stopped in midair, held up by an arm that shouldn't have been able to defend itself let along move at all.
Goofy stared at his friend, who after still being unconscious, managed to move and defend himself. As Sora remained unmoving, a painfully familiar feeling came over Goofy as ever so slowly Sora's eyes opened.
The other three not understanding what was happening continued to stare as Goofy fought off what was trying to occur; there was no way he would let that happen to Sora while he was in this state.
"Guys move away fro- argh!"
(A.N. this is where the cliff hanger of the last chapter was)
Goofy was cut off as the pain intensified and he fell to the ground, his shield laying just in front of him. Eva was next to him in seconds and noticed that the heartless that were once attacking were now pulling back, away from the ones situated around the bed. She looked back up at Sora and watched as the heartless held in his grip was quickly destroyed. She was about to question Goofy about this when she saw it.
A dark aura began flowing around Sora's still form as his skin took on an ashen grey hue and a purple-ish black mark began creaking it's way up his arm. During this entire process Sora's eyes were still shut. Then without warning Sora jolted up from his spot letting out a yell of what seemed to be pain.
The yell reached such a volume that those around him had to cover their ears and all of them unconsciously screwed their eyes shut. As they did this they were unaware of Sora's form removing itself from the bed and making a dash straight for them.
They only found out too late as the teen swung his arm back and brought it against Goofy's chest, knocking his weakened friend against the far wall. Nausea stared in horror as her patient stood and attacked his own friends, no doubt that while doing so he was speeding up the poisons spreading through his body.
Percedal got up and faced off against Sora, as Eva ran to Goofy's side.
"Goofy what's going on?"
Eva asked as she helped the Ecaflip to his feet. Goofy looked to his friend as he lunged at Percedal, then sensing a heartless Sora unknowingly turned toward the shadows and began attacking them.
"What don't think you can stand a chance against me?!" Percedal called out to Sora's retreating back as the Iop warrior swung Rubilax in the teen's direction.
"Percedal, we don't want to fight Sora! We need to stop him!"
Eva yell at Percedal's back as she shifted Goofy's weight, readying her bow as she prepared an Ice arrow.
"Goofy answer me question."
Eva said as she directed the point of the bow at Sora's feet, only planning on limiting his movements. Goofy was silent, not sure what he could say, or how long it would take.
"I can't tell you now, but once we get Sora back to normal I will explain what I can." Goofy said as he pulled his weight from Eva's shoulder as he stood unsteadily on his own feet.
...
Amalia was at Donald's side almost instantly after he fell, the same thing happened to Goofy when Sora went into that Valor Form, but he couldn't right now, not when that poison was going through his body.
Donald pushed himself to his feet and reached to the table for something to use, he closed his hand on the first thing it touched and held it up, ready to throw. He held what seemed to be a wooden comb, made of sturdy material with thorns located along the teeth and handle.
"I swear you old croan!"
Donald yelled as he glared at the old Sadida, while everyone else in the little house was silent.
"We are running out of time and I am fed up with your demands, now take us to the Severum or so help me!"
Donald was practically exploding and ready to fall to his knees, but refused to when they had so little time left. Everyone then watched in horror as Donald, in a blind rage, through the comb at the Sadida's head, only for it to miss and implant itself in the far back wall.
Everyone watched as a thick sap with a golden hue began trailing from the wood around the embedded comb. Donald slowly, as though in a daze walked to the golden stream. With his legs ready to buckle under his weight Donald slowly reached out his hand, to afraid that he was seeing things, and that they would never find the sap.
"It was here this whole time." He mumbled as the sap trailed over his fingers. Behind him, Sybanak grew in anger, how dare he touch what belongs to Sybanak.
"No the Severum belongs, only to Sybanak!" She yelled, alerting her 'pets' outside of their masters displeasure. As the large monster plants reached their heads in through the window Amalia ran and covered the old Sadida's mouth.
"I'm sorry, but we really need the sap to save a friend, and we can't wait any longer."
Ruel went over to the wall and began filling a few vials of the sap, cooking each one, he then grabbed ahold of Donald's wrist and the four were soon racing towards the clearing where they left the remaining dragoturkeys. As they ran Amalia noticed Donald's difficulty.
"Ruel didn't you say there was some way to call a dragoturkey?"
Amalia asked as they continued running. Ruel took note of Donald's struggle and began his imitation of a dragoturkey call. At this point Sybanak was right behind them, using her plant pets to attack the group as they ran.
Finally after having called out in pain the two remaining dragoturkeys arrived and quickly mounting them, the four quickly took to the sky. Donald looked to Yugo and Ruel, he smiled when he saw the corked vial in Yugo's hand. They were so close, he only had to hope that they got their soon enough.
Suddenly without warning a thick vine came up out of the densely packed trees and wrapped around the small vial. Yugo tried to keep his grip; however in the end Yugo lost the fight and the vial was ripped from his hand.
Three out of the four watched in horror as the vial quickly descended into the trees. Weakly Donald pounced the saddle of his mount, in the distance was the small Eniripsa's house.
"So close, we were so freakin' close." Donald was interrupted from his despair as Ruel cleared his throat. The three despairing companions turned towards the old Enutrof, then watched in surprise as he pulled out four more vials from his bag.
"That one wasn't our only vial, just an old Enutrof rule." His smile widened and everyone was knocked back from their depression.
"Let's go save Sora."
...
"We have to stop his movements!"
Eva readied another arrow, Sora had managed to dodge or use a heartless as a shield for all the other arrows. Sora turned to her, his blank lifeless blue grey eyes starred at her. She glared back and pointed the arrow at the wall just behind the teen, if anything she was hoping that when the ice spread it would catch him by the arm or something.
Percedal got up from where he was pushed back and charged at Sora, knocking him from Eva's aim. She pointed the arrow down, not wanting to risk hitting both. Goofy from where he sat looked to his friend with growing concern, able to feel the fleeting life.
"Sora stop!"
Goofy tried to get his friends attention, Percedal managed to limit Sora movements by linking his arms around the teens midsection and arms. Sora unleashed another yell as he struggled an aware of what or who it was that he was fighting.
Suddenly Percedal felt the fighting lessen and then abruptly it stopped, the shadow form of Sora went still in Percedal's grip and the only signs that he was still alive was the renewed labored breathing. The tattoos recoiled down Sora's arm and the dark aura slowly dissappeared. The heartless that remained slowly dispersed and the four in the room found themselves in silence.
Eva understood and looked to the window, the sun was still high enough where they should've still had time.
"He spread the poison, they're too late."
She whispered as the door slammed open, four familiar people standing in the doorway. The second group didn't have time to take in the destruction, or the bursts of ice that coated the floor, as Eva called out to them.
"Guys if you have the sap give it to him now, or there's no saving him!" Donald grasped one of the four vials in his hand tightly and ran to where Percedal was holding his friends still form. The Iop titled the teen's head back as Donald placed the vial to his lips. The room was silent as they waited for the miracle sap to work.
Time seemed to slowdown as they waited, and they had just about lost hope when a series of weak coughs resounded from Sora, everyone let out a collective sigh as they released the breath they all had no idea they were holding.
Percedal moved Sora back to the bed and they all relaxed as they saw the color return to his face. Eva turned to Donald and Goofy.
"Would one of you two mind explaining what that was?"
Everyone else turned to the two as they realized how little they still knew about the three companions. Eva crossed her arms as the room went silent, everyone wanting to hear what the two had to say. After exchanging looks Goofy sighed.
"This isn't the first time that happened and till the end of our journey it probably won't be the last."
Amalia looked to the unconscious form of Sora without looking back at Donald or Goofy she lightly asked.
"When did this first happen?"
Donald and Goofy both physically winced at the question as memories of Hollow Bastion bombarded them. Abandoning Sora when Riku took the keyblade, switching back to Sora when Riku went to attack him, defeating Maleficent, Sora having to fight Riku on his own, then watching as Sora freed the princesses hearts causing him to lose his own.
When asked how he had gotten his heart back he would get this lost look as he recalled being trapped in a black void, slowly forgetting who he was, and all his friends, until he heard Kairi's voice call out to him. After that they all knew what happened but couldn't for some reason remember why they woke up in those strange pods. Slowly and careful not to give to much away Goofy began explaining as best as he could, with Donald adding stuff as he went.
"At the end of our first journey to find Sora's two friends, he had to fight one of them, who was under the control of someone else to save the other who was nearby."
Donald continued.
"In the end he won, because his friend gained control for a while and then the one who was in control left with him."
The two stopped as they remember what happened next while the others took in the fact that Sora had to fight one of his friends in order to save another. Donald cleared his throat and continued.
"After his friend, Riku, left we learned that his other friend, Kairi was missing her heart and wouldn't wake up, but the one controlling Riku revealed that her heart had seeked refuge within Sora's."
Donald paused not wanting to continue but knowing that either he Goofy had to finish or they would bring it up and continue asking.
"When Riku left the area his keyblade, one he said could release hearts, remained. In a final gamble Sora used it to release Kairi's heart but at the cost of his own."
This time Goofy continued on not looking up from the floor.
"Though unlike Kairi, he faded and came back as a heartless, then Donald and I raced out with Kairi unaware of Sora following us."
Goofy looked up to the group now, as he finished up his part
"We had made it the entrance when Sora, still a heartless caught up, though if it weren't for Kairi we wouldn't have known that the small shadow was our friend."
Donald finished off the story.
"Then according to Sora, Kairi's voice called him back from a black void that he had found himself lost in. Then at the beginning of this journey he received the ability of the Drive Forms a side effect showed itself after awhile in the form of what we call his Anti Form, and when we asked him about it the first time, he had no memory of ever going Anti Form.
After the two finished what was probably the most they would ever tell the group about themselves, the room fell into silence. From her seat at the edge of the bed, where she was checking on Sora, Nausea looked to the rest of the group.
"You've all had a hard day, and your friend is in no condition to travel, so for tonight you can all stay here."
A.N. So yeah that happened, and to Captain Cranch, yay more back story as well as Anti Form. Hopefully this chapter will tide ya'll over till the next update, cause I really need to work on some of my other stories, but since this one seems to be getting more reviews then the others, this is the one I update.
Until Next time Peace, Love, and Virtual Hugs ^.^
