Hi everyone! Tenten Kiken Hinamori here. Sorry for the super long wait. Life fucked me up a lot. The next chapter is here. Hope you enjoy.
Tenten's POV
"Ok, back to Traverse Town to stock up on supplies and ask Cid about the gummi," I said setting the coordinates in. "Hey nee-chan, when we get there, can we use magic to expand the ship a bit so we can have bedrooms?" Angela asked. "Yea, that'll be a good idea. With the fact that we've got 3 more people to find, we'll need some space." I said steering the ship. "And we need a bathroom, I'm not staying on this ship with 3 foul-smelling boys," I said. "Hey!" Sora and Donald yelled. "A laundry room might be a good idea too. We need to wash our clothes." Angela said. "Agreed. And a training room, spiky here needs some work." I added. "Mean!" Sora yelled. "But true Spiky," I said ruffling his head.
Angela brought me paper and a pen. I started drawing the new design of the ship. "Ok, bedrooms, bathroom, a large bathroom, laundry and training room. Oh, plus a kitchen. We haven't had a decent meal for 2 days now." I said. As if on cue, everyone's stomach growled. I sighed and got out my last bit of leftovers. "Sorry guys. This is the last of it." I said giving it to them.
"What about you?" Sora asked. "I'm good," I said. "I'm not hungry." I drove the ship as they ate. Once they were done, we all went to sleep, feeling tired after the last 3 worlds. I was sitting in the driver's seat, leaning back and pulling my hat over my eye. Before I had gone to sleep, I made sure to put the autopilot and auto-landing on, then I drifted off to sleep.
3rd person POV
Once the ship landed, Tenten had suddenly sat up. Her eyes were blank and dead as she slowly walked out of the ship. She stumbled into the 3rd District, barely missing people as she stumbled by. She soon stopped in front of 2 people. One was a fair and green-skinned woman with yellow eyes are heavily shadowed with violet make-up, and her lips are painted red. Her head is topped with a black-horned headdress. She was wearing a long, tattered black robe with a purple trim and maroon edges which flares out. She carries a staff with a glowing green orb at the tip.
By her side was a boy with cyan eyes and silver hair who wore a vest that is yellow in front and black on the back, and blue jeans under large blue wading pants, secured by black straps at the ankles. He wears stylistically large blue and grey shoes, with two straps, and yellow accents "So this is her?" The boy asked. "Yes, this is the one Hades was telling us about." the woman said. "What is so special about her?" The boy asked looking over the girl with curiosity. "She is a half-demon and half-human princess. However, half of her heart is is shrouded by darkness. Her past has a lot of dark memories to it and those memories have put a cloak of darkness around her heart." the woman explained.
"So you want to use that darkness to put her into your control." The boy said. "Correct. She'll be a powerful addition to us. So, I'm going to use the scratch marks my pet gave her to absorb all the darkness she comes across. Then when the time comes, we'll take her and destroy the last of her light." the woman said using magic on Tenten's right hand. "Sounds like a plan.I'll stay here and watch her until Sora and them come." the boy said. The woman nodded and left. The boy jumped onto a ledge and stayed hidden as Tenten dropped to the ground.
Sora's POV
"Guys! Wake up! Nee-chan is gone!" Angela yelled waking us up. "What?! what do you mean Tenten is gone?!" I yelled looking around. where could she have gone? And why would she leave without us? "We need to find her. Split up and search everywhere!" I ordered and ran out. I quickly ran around from person to person, asking if they had seen Tenten, but I got negative answers. I was getting really worried until Angela ran up, yelling that someone had seen Tenten in the 3rd District. We quickly ran to the 3rd District to find Tenten laying on the ground. "Tenten!" I called running to her and gently lifted her. "Tenten? Tenten, come on. Wake up." I coxed gently shaking her.
Tenten groaned as her eyes fluttered open. "Spiky? What happened? Where am I?" she asked holding her head. "You're in the 3rd district in Traverse Town. Do you remember how you got here?" I asked helping her sit up. "No, All I remember was going to sleep on the ship, after that, nothing." She said rubbing her forehead. That was not good. "Come on," I said helping her up. Angel hugged Tenten, crying out that she had been so worried. Donald and Goofy did the same. It was easy to tell that they loved her.
"We better get to Cid," I said. "I already gave him the gummi. He said he'd install it while we deliver this book to the man behind the fire door." Angela said. holding up a book. "Nice Angela. And by the looks of it, we're close to the destination." Tenten said looking towards a door with fire on it.
We started walking towards the door when the heartless appeared. We summoned our weapons and got ready to fight when the heartless were suddenly destroyed by Riku?!
"There you are. What's going on?" he asked. "Riku!" I exclaimed going up to him and pulled on his face. "Hey, hey. Cut it out," he said pushing me back. "I'm not dreaming this time, right?" I asked looking him up and down. "I hope not. Took forever to find you," he said pushing his hair back. "Riku!" I said happily. "wait a second. Where's Kairi?" I asked not seeing her. "Isn't she with you?" he asked, making me look down sadly. "Well, don't worry. I'm sure she made it off the island, too. We're finally free. Hey, she might even be looking for us now." he said.
3rd person POV
What the young boy didn't know was a heartless was getting ready to attack him as he continued to talk, "We'll all be together again soon. Don't worry. Just leave everything to me. I know this-" Both Tenten and Sora took the heartless out at the same time. "Look at you. You're getting faster." Tenten said, making Sora feel extremely happy from the praise. "Leave it to who?" Sora asked Riku smirking. "Sora, what did you-" Riku began. "I've been looking for you and Kairi, too, with their help," Sora said. "Who are they?" Riku asked looking over them.
"This is Tenten and her sister Angela," Sora said. Tenten and Angela had waved at him, but they felt something off about the boy. "and this is my uncle Donald and Goofy." Tenten said. "We visited so many places and worlds, looking for you," Sora said. "Really? Well, what do you know? I never would've guessed." Riku said, kinda upset. "Oh, and guess what? Sora's the Keyblade master," Goofy said putting his hands on Sora's shoulders. "Who would've thought it?" Donald said annoyed. "Don't start," Tenten warned pulling Donald back.
"So, this is called a Keyblade?" Riku asked holding up sora's Keyblade. "Huh? Hey, give it back." sora demanded, going after it, but Riku jumped back, making Sora fall on his face. Tenten really didn't trust his kid. Something was wrong with him and his aura. "Catch!" Riku called tossing the Keyblade to Sora. "Whoa!" Sora called catching it. "Ok, so, you're coming with us, right? We've got this awesome rocket. Wait till you see it!" Sora exclaimed happily. "Um, spiky, can I talk to you for a second?" tenten asked leading him away
Sora's POV.
I followed Tenten a few feet away. "What's wrong?" I asked confused. "Look, I know he's your friend, but him coming with us with us might not be a good idea," she said, shocking me. "What? Why?" I asked confused. "You don't see the things I see, but there is something off about him and his aura. It's giving me really bad vibes and those are never wrong. It'd probably be best if he stayed here." She explained. "But, I just found him. I don't want to lose him again." I said, wanting my friend to be there. "I know, and I don't like saying this because I can see how much you care about him, but something tells me that he wouldn't hesitate to hurt you right now," she said. "Please trust me on this." she put a hand on my shoulder.
I sighed and nodded, but when I turned around, Riku was gone. I frowned. "At least you know he's ok," Tenten said walking towards the fire door. I nodded sadly and followed. Tenten used her fire magic to open the door and all of us walked in.
What we saw, shocked us. There was a tiny house, that looked like it was wearing a hat, on a tiny island, surrounded by water and the only way to the house was jumping across moving stones... This is so weird. I looked the others and we all just shrugged before jumping across. We walked in to find it bare. We looked around. "There's something about this musty place." I heard and turned to see Kairi walking up. "It reminds me of the secret place back home, where we used to scribble on the walls," she said walking past me. "Remember?" she asked looking back at me. "Kairi?" I asked reaching towards her. "Spiky?" I heard Tenten call and looked back at her then looked at Kairi to find her gone.
Tenten's POV
That was weird. spiky looked out of it for a second there. "Well, well. You've arrived sooner than I expected." A voice called from the entrance, causing us to look to see, Merlin?! "Merlin!" Angela and I yelled. "My my. How wonderful to see you girls again. Look how much you 2 have grown." Merlin said as we hugged him. "You know him?" Donald asked. "Merlin here used to come by and teach us magic," Angela said. "That's right. teach the girls was quite easy because they're fast learners." Merlin said. "sir, did you know we were coming?' Sora asked. "Of course. I am a sorcerer. I spend most of my time traveling. Its good to be home. The girl's godfather requested my help." Merlin said. "Uncle Mickey?" I asked. "Yes, indeed. Tenten, Angela, Donald, Goofy. And who might you be, young man?" Marlin asked Sora.
"Merlin, this is Sora," Tenten said. "Ah. So you found the key." Merlin said. "What did Uncle Mickey ask you to do?" Angela asked. "Just a moment please," Merlin said then used magic to unpack all her stuff. "Still packing the same old way." I chuckled. "Well, how else would you pack everything in one bag?" Merlin chuckled. Angela and I chuckled.
"The King asked me to train Sora in magic. When you're ready, let me know." Merlin said. "Oh, Merlin. I almost forgot. Cid asked me to bring this to you." Angela said giving him a book.
"Oh, that book. Thank you. Truth is, this isn't even mine. Somehow it found its way into my bag one day. It was such a curious book, so I asked Cid to repair it for me. I'll put it over on this table for now. If you want to look at it, go ahead." Merlin said putting the book on a little table. "Oh! Before I forget, Tenten. This is for you." Merlin said pulling a letter off my head. "Where did that come from?" I asked looking at the letter. I turned it over and went wide-eyed. "It's from mama!" I yelled in shock. Angela looked over my shoulder in shock. "But how?" Angela asked. "Your mom used magic to send it a long time ago," Merlin explained. "I'll read it later then," I said putting the letter into my backpack. My hand suddenly started itching really badly.
"Tenten, are you alright?" Merlin asked when I started biting my hand. "My hand won't stop itching." I groaned ripping my glove off revealing claw marks. "When was I scratched?" I asked confused. "If I may," Merlin said holding his hand out. I gave him my hand. "Oh my. This is quite serious my dear. There is a lot of darkness within these claw marks." Merlin said. "Darkness? But how?" Angela asked worriedly. "It seems someone wants to take control of Tenten. I'll use some of my magic to block it off, but I'm afraid that's all I can do. It won't last forever either." he said. "Thanks for trying Merlin. We better go meet up with Cid." I said. The others nodded and we left.
We had just walked into the second district when we heard a bell. "Oh! I forgot. Cid had also asked us to check out the bell. He said that it's on top of the gizmo shop." Angela said. I looked to the others, well, let's take a look at the bell." I said and we all rushed over. It only took a few minutes to get up to the roof of the gizmo shop. Sora grabbed the rope to the bell and pulled it, making the bell ring. I noticed something move. "Pull it again," I called and watched the fountain by the door to the 1st District. Sora pulled the rope again, making the mural change again. "try once more." I called. Sora pulled it again and the mural changed again and the waters danced as the keyhole revealed itself. "The keyhole!" Angel and I yelled then jumped down with the boys.
We ran to the keyhole only to be stopped by the giant heartless from last time. "Here we go again," I growled as we attacked the heartless. After a bit, it changed its form and gained new attacks. It took a little bit but we soon defeated it. Sora then locked the keyhole before we met up with Cid and the others in his house.
"You guys ever hear of Maleficent? I hear she's in town." Cid said. "Who is she?" Sora asked. "A witch, man, she's a witch!" Cid exclaimed, freaked out. "she's the reason this town is full of heartless. Don't take her lightly." Leon added, leaning against the wall. "She's been using the heartless for years." Aerith pitched in. "We lost our world, thanks to her," Leon added. "One day, a swarm of heartless took over our world!" Cid exclaimed. "That was 9 years ago," Leon said calmy. "I got out of that mess and came here with these guys," Cid said. "That's awful." Angela cried.
"Our ruler was a wise man named Ansem. He dedicated his life to studying the heartless." Leon said. The name sounds so familiar. But from where? I thought "His reports should tell us how to get rid of the heartless," Cid added. "Where's the report?" Sora asked. "We don't know. It got scattered when our world was destroyed." Leon said. "I'm sure Maleficent's got most of the pages," Cid said.
3rd person POV
Outside the window, watching the group was Riku with the woman, Maleficent. "You see? It's just as I told you. While you toiled away, trying to find your dear friend, he quite simply replaced you with some new companions. Evidently, now he values them far more than he does you. Especially the girl. It seems he has become attracted to her." she said watching as Tenten ruffled Sora's hair, making him blush, through the window. "You're better off without that wretched boy. Now, think no more of him, and come with me. I'll help you find what you're searching for." she bargained.
Sora's POV
"So, you delivered that book? The navigation gummi's installed and ready to go. You find another one, you bring it to me. I threw in a wrap gummi for the heck of it. Now you can jump to worlds you've been to before. Well, better get back to my real job. What's my real job? You'll see. See me at the 1st district." Cid said then left.
"We need to head over there anyway. We need to stock up and I need to work my magic on the ship." Tenten said. We nodded and headed back to the first district. "Donald, Goofy and I will go shopping if you want to work on the ship." Angela offered. "Fine by me. spiky, come on, you can help by holding the spellbook and design up for me." Tenten said. I nodded, happy to get to see some of her magic. I want to know more about her world's magic. But other than that, I just feel really happy around her. Why?
We walked onto the ship and Tenten dug in her backpack, pulling out what I guess is her spellbook and the design. "Ok, I haven't done this one in a while so I'll need you to hold the book open while I read the spell," she said. I nodded and held the book open for her.
She took a deep breath then held her outs out, a magic circle appearing under her feet as she began to chant in a language I've never heard of before. soon the ship began glowing and everything changed. A new door appeared which opened up to reveal a large hallway with a ton of doors. A kitchen opened up here in the cockpit with a ton of cooking supplies. The cockpit even grew larger and gained more seats. (if you watched Howl's Moving Castle, it did the same as when they moved locations). The glow died down and Tenten sighed. "Ok, that should do it," she said dusting her hands off. "It's huge!" I exclaimed in shock. "Yea, that was the point of all this," she said putting her book away.
"You're amazing at magic. That was so cool!" I said. Tenten gave a small smile. "Thanks. Magic was always fun to learn." She said pulling her hat off. This was the first time I've seen her with her hair down and its gorgeous! Her hair is a dark red and went down about another inch past her shoulder. But what had me staring the most was the fox ears she had. Those made her look so cute! I frowned when she tucked her hair and ears back into her hat.
"What?" She asked seeing me frowning. "You should leave your hair down," I said. "It gets in the way too much," she said, shrugging. I frowned.
Angela, Donald, and Goofy soon walked in with a ton of bags. Tenten and I helped them and put everything away before taking off. "alright, next world, here we come!" I called.
That's chapter 6. If you liked it, please give me a review. Have a great day everyone.
