Chapter 4: Discovery

Hello! I hope you liked the last chapter! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ahem... Anywho, I hope you like this chapter!

"Wha...?" Selena opened her eyes and looked around the large hotel room. She stared at Squall. "How come you poisoned Riku?!" She yelled, reaching out for the Angelblade. "I'd like my sword back too please."

Squall stared. "You should have been out cold for a lot longer." He picked up the Angelblade. "How's the boy doing?" He looked at Yuffie.

"He's groaning a ton... Maybe he's having a nightmare..." Yuffie leaned over him.

Selena stood up and looked around. "Are Ame and Tiffany in the next room?" She reached for the doorknob.

Squall knocked her hand away from the door. "Don't go in there!"

"I heard Selena!" Ame burst through the door. "Are you OK? Did you lose to Squall?"

"Where are Riku, Mike, and Rachel?" Tiffany walked in too.

"Um... Yuffie poisoned Riku, and I don't know where Mike and Rachel are." Selena pointed to Riku.

"Ow... My head..." Riku's eyes were out of focus. He glanced around, and then blinked. "Selena! Where are we?!" He yelled.

"Calm down." Selena sighed. She walked over and knelt next to him. "These are Yuffie and Squall."

"How'd you know who we are?" Yuffie asked.

"Um... I'll... Get back to you on that." Selena grinned.

"You're from another dimension, are you not?" Squall looked her in the eye.

"What? What do you mean by that?" Selena couldn't take her eyes away.

"The Angelblade's master is supposed to be from not only another world, but from another dimension." Squall turned to Yuffie. "You remember the story, right?"

"Of course I do!" Yuffie looked upset. "Supposedly, the Angelblade's master knows more about other worlds than anyone."

"There are many other Angel Weapons as well." Squall looked at Selena calmly.

"I know! There's the Angelblade, which is the most powerful... Um... Fire's Katana..." Yuffie started counting on her fingers. "Earth's Bow... Night's Staff... And Water's Scythe..." She glanced at Squall. "That it?"

"Yes. Every one of the weapons is powerful." He frowned. "Have you heard of the Heartless?"

Selena nodded. "Of course I have! The Heartless are made from the darkness in hearts, and there is darkness in every heart."

Riku blinked. "I'm guessing you got that from the-"

Selena quickly put a hand over his mouth. "Shut up Riku! They don't know this is a video game where I'm from!" She muttered to him.

"Wait!" Riku yelled, startling Selena. "What happened to my home?! My island?! Selphie! Tidus! Wakka! Kuro!"

"Um... I don't know about the others... But... Kuro is... He's..." Selena stared at her feet.

Squall walked over to her and lifted her chin. "What's wrong? What happened to this 'Kuro'?"

"He's... Evil... The Heartless have him..." Selena felt like crying. 'Why am I so upset? He's just a character that shouldn't even exist!' She bent down to make it look like she was tying her shoe.

"I don't believe you!" Riku shook his head violently. "Kuro would never join the Heartless!"

At that moment, Rachel burst into the room, closely followed by an irritated Mike. "Are you OK Selena? What'd we miss?" Rachel then saw Squall. "SQUALL!!!!!!!" She tackled him.

"Who the heck are you?" He stared Rachel.

"I'm your biggest fan!" She clung on his arm when he stood up.

"Is there a way to get this nut off of me?"

"Wait a second..." Riku pulled out his sword. "What's this exactly? It's not one of the weapons you mentioned..."

Aerith walked in. "That's the Dragonblade, right?" She glanced at Squall.

"It's similar to the Angelblade, but not as powerful."

"Hey! Don't the masters of the Angel Weapons have some kind of special ability?" Yuffie smiled. "You know, being able to talk telepathically to each other?"

"We can?" Rachel said happily.

Once again, the door banged open. "I can't stand it anymore!" Selena's friend Stephanie ran in. She had short blonde hair in little pigtails and her camera in hand. "I gotta film this!"

"Ack! Steph! What are you doing here?!" Selena stared.

"Your mom said I might have missed you, so she told me to check in your room! You were there, so I walked in and got sucked into the TV! So this is what Kingdom Hearts looks like..." She looked around. ((Yes, my friend Steph really does jump from thought to thought like that...))

Selena shook her head. "It's dangerous here! Don't you-" She was cut off by the sudden appearance of a Soldier Heartless. "Great..." She sliced it in half.

"I got it all on camera!" Stephanie smiled.

"Steph!" Selena frowned. "Whatever. Let's find the leader of those things."

"Steph, stay out of the way. You can tape us, but make sure the Heartless don't see you, got it?"

Steph nodded and followed them to the 3rd District. "Wow... This place is empty..."

"I wouldn't want to be here either." Riku walked forward and a little boy and girl fell on top him. "Ack!"

"Sorry Mr.!" The girl jumped off. She was wearing a cute jean overall skirt. ((Am I the only one who knows what I'm talking about?)) She had crimson hair, freckles, and crystal blue eyes.

"Yeah! Sorry!" The boy stood up. He was wearing a Gray T-shirt with the word 'Courage' written on it. He was wearing jean shorts that went just below his knees. He had flaming red hair, a lot of freckles, and green eyes. "We were fighting those monsters!"

"You... Were?" Rachel knelt down to make sure the 5 year olds weren't hurt. "You sure you guys are OK?"

"Yeah!" The girl pointed a small wooden wand. "Cure!" She and her brother were instantly healed of all scratches. She pointed the crudely carved wand at Riku. "Heal!"

"That wasn't necessary..." Riku stood up. "I wasn't hurt that bad."

"What were you guys doing up there?" Steph asked.

"We told you!" The boy pulled out a wooden sword. Selena realized he had a Band-Aid on his cheek. "Fighting monsters!"

"I suggest you get out of here." Selena whispered, but it was too late. Soldiers appeared everywhere. "Never mind... You kids stay back! Steph, watch them!"

Steph nodded and grabbed their hands. "Come on you 2!" She ran to a corner and pulled her camera out. "Don't get your butt kicked too badly!"

They pulled out their weapons and easily took care of the Soldiers. "Guard Armor in 3... 2... 1..." Selena called to the others.

She was right. The boss fell and put itself back together. It immediately attacked the little kids.

"Take this! Shiva!" Ice blasted from the ground with a creature inside of it. ((I'm not a big FFX nut, but I like the summoner and the Aeons idea)) The thing blasted the ice apart and froze the Guard Armor. It snapped its fingers and the ice broke apart. The Heartless's arms and legs were destroyed.

The boy pointed his toy sword. "Ice Blade!" His sword froze in sharp ice. He swung it and scratched the monster's torso. "Go for it!"

Selena nodded and cut the Guard Armor in 2. "What did you do?!" She asked the girl.

"I'm a summoner!" She smiled. "I'm from Spira... Before it was destroyed, that is... My name's Maria!" She bowed like she was holding an invisible ball.

"I'm her Guardian and brother, Irvine." He grinned. "I'm glad that Spira was destroyed! It's fun to travel around without adults to watch us!"

"Irvine!" Maria hit him in the head with her wand. "I'm sorry. Please excuse my brother."

"Wait... You're a summoner?" Mike looked at the wand. "Kind of pathetic..."

"It's not our fault that those things broke our weapons!" Irvine glared. "We got the Moogles to fix them, but we had to protect the town from the monsters!"

"They're called 'Heartless.'" Selena explained what they were.

"Oh! Then we will come with you." Maria did a different bow where she knelt down and finished with the other bow. "You are our leader."

"What?!" Irvine stared. "You can't be serious sis!"

"Hey! Can I ask you something?" Mike smiled. "What was going on with Sin?"

"Um... The great Summoner Yuna kicked his butt. Now all summoners are just around to protect everyone. We're getting along with the Al Bhed now too." She beamed. "So... How may I help you guys?"

Selena thought for a minute. "First, let's get your staff and sword back. After that, we'll go to Wonderland."

"How about home?" Steph asked. "I mean, I have a cute costume you can wear!"

Selena sighed. "OK... We'll grab their weapons, and then go home."

They all agreed with that plan.

Hope you guys liked this chapter! I like Maria and Irvine. Aren't they cute? For your information, I'm not really into FFX. I just felt like (and my brother forced me to) add a summoner and a Guardian. Anywho, I GOT NEW FURNATURE IN MY BEDROOM!!!!!!! YES!!!!!!!!!!! OK, I'm done now. See ya!
