Out of Area 2

A shared Kingdom Hearts fic


"Hope it's more interesting then the last one," Yuki remarked, a second or two behind me. "even if we don't find this fabled Keybearer."

"Yeah, really. As long as there's a hotel, we can stay here for a while 'til we do find 'em."

Yuki just nodded, then, putting her sword sharp-side-up against her shoulder and looking around, began, "Sooooo, oh great and fearless leader, where d'we start?"

"Ummm..." I drawled, looking around, "There are some giant doors behind that store over there, let's go there!" I said, already walking.

As they passed the accessory shop, a teenager with spiky brown hair and deep blue eyes awoke in the alley on the other side of the shop.

Sora groaned and stood up, "What a dream..." He looked around, there was no sand or wood floors in sight! Shakily he stood and walked out of the alley, he looked around, much like Yume had moments earlier, and walked into the Accesory shop.

Yuki whistled some perky tune to herself as she followed me, staring up at the sky. "It's pretty here," she said finally, watching the stars and not bothering to look where she was going, as usual. "D'ya think there are really that many worlds, Yume?"

"There's gotta be." I said with a shrug, continuing "But we'll never know staying here. We need to find the key wielder and get out of here. AHH!" I was cut off from my mini-speech as a guy fell in front of us; he looked terrifid. Yuki and I exchanged looks and looked up as a floating shadow dressed as a knight appeared in front of him. The shadow raised his hand and a glowing pink heart faded out of the man.

"Holy freakin--!" Yuki cut off at that, tensing and shifting her sword off her shoulder. "What the!" She said simply, glancing briefly at me.

"STOP!" I yelled, I raised my staff and a fireball shot out into the shadow; the shadow exploded and the heart went back into the man. I glanced over to Yuki, "I'm guessing that's one of the Heartless guys."

Yuki nodded a little. "No kiddin'. I don't like it here anymore." She shivered, but didn't put her sword back into it's original spot on her shoulder. "Are you ABSOLUTELY sure the Keybearer is here?"

"He's gotta be, why else woud the Heartless be here in such numbers?" I answered, as the man stood up and ran back into the First District.

"I don't know," Yuki muttered, "maybe it's like this everywhere?"

"Traverse town." Sora muttered to himself, walking along side Cid's shop, "what an odd na-" he was cut off by a funny-looking man frantically running from a large double-door. Sroa tensed before dashing through it.

Yuki and I were inspecting the fountain. "Bell shapes-how odd." I mumbled to her.

She snorted. "So these folks have weird design preferences," she muttered in reply, "no big deal." She glanced back over her shoulder, then snorted again. "Hmph."

"Well, the Keybearer's gotta be here. What do you think, maybe we should look somewhere else?"

Yuki shrugged. "Heck, I guess so. I mean, if you're so sure, we'll have to turn this place inside out, upside down, sideways, and slap it before I could get you to leave."

"Heh heh he," I grumbled to her, "the alley is this way." I said, pointing to the door on our right while looking at a map, "let's go!"

Yuki took up whistling again as she followed Yume. "How big could this place be anyway," she began rhetorically, "so it shouldn't take too long, right?"

"Probably not." I said, walking under the overhang of a blue porch."

Elsewhere, Sora wandered around in a particularly lost manner. "Hm." He slowed to a stop after a moment and looked around the otherwise empty district uneasily, the Keyblade appearing unbidden in his hand.

He was about to start walking again when, out of nowhere, the same creatures that had attacked him on his island appeared. "These things again!" Before Sora could think of what to do, more appeared behind him.

He was surrounded.

Sora's eyes widened and he tensed with the Keyblade.

He attacked, after the small shadows dissappeared he was engulfed in a red light, he felt stronger but then...

More appeared, bigger ones, that looked like knights, and the smaller ones again. He attacked out of the knights but one attacked him from behind, he continued slashing at the knight but they were all over. His vision blurred and he collapsed, too soon to see the boot step over him, the man's gun-like sword went on fire and he slashed, all of the Heartless dissapeared.

"Wow, Leon," A girl's voice sounded. The man turned. "Nice one."

"Thanks, Yuffie," He replied, "let's get him up to the room."

"Nnngh..."

Sora shifted a little, let out another groan. His eyes flickered open briefly and he blinked in surprise, not sure if he was seeing right.

"...feel better?"

Sora blinked again, but didn't answer, then asked, "Kairi?"

"Kairi? Who's Kairi?"

On the third blink his vision finally cleared up, proving that the black-haired girl leaning over him wasn't Kairi after all. Yuffie straightened, calling across the room, "You should've got there sooner, Squall, he's out of it."

Leon, leaning agasint the wall near one of the doors to the hotel room, didn't answer for a moment, then said simply, "...that's Leon."

"Sora, try unlocking some locks, I hear the Keyblade is good at that." Yuffie suggested. "Huh? Really?" Sora asked. Without waiting for an answer, he hopped onto the table and tapped to blue, glowing chest. An elixer floated out, into his pack. "Woah."

"Are you ready Sora?" Leon asked from the doorway. "Ready? For what?" Sora asked, walking over to where the taller guy stood.

"To fight for your life."

"I'm not afraid." Sora said defensively.

"Good, because-"

"Leon!" Yuffie squealed from the bed, cutting him off. She was pointing at a Heartless floating nearby, forgetting for a moment that she was an all powerfull ninja.

"Yuffie, go get Aerith! Sora, come on!" Leon yelled. He swung at the Heartless; it flew out the window. Leon jumped after it, not easily thrown off, followed by a rather more confused Sora.

Yuki looked up suddenly from where she'd been, once again, busily polishing her blade. "Hey, Yume," she said, "didja hear somethin'? Outside?"

"I dunno, lets inspect!" I exclaimed, hopping out the small door onto the balcony of our hotel room. "Yeah, I think I see something."

"What?" Yuki was just a second behind me, trying to come up behind me and stuff her polishing rag back into its pocket at once.

"Eek!"

Not shockingly, she managed to trip. Shockingly, while she did slam right into me when she fell forward, she also managed not to impale me.

Barely.

"EAP!" I exclaimed the two of us flew off of the fish-decorated overhang. Sora himself had frozen after hearing the two yell; he glanced up, then yelped suddenly,

"ARGH!"

"Owww...sorry Yume..." Yuki muttered as she straightened herself out, on top of the pile. "Oooh." She blinked several times at who we'd fallen on, then squeaked suddenly, "the Keybearer!" He started struggling out from under us, trying at the same time to get a decent look at who'd fallen on him.

"What," he began intelligently, "the heck..."

"Oh! It is!" I yelled, scrambling of the kid, who, honestly, couldn't have been too much older than me or my less-coordinated partner, if he was. "Woah! Look at him! Lookit!" I turned to Yuki and squealed.

Sora blinked up at us, "Who are you two?" he asked. We froze, turning to him.

"Oh?" I blinked for a moment, then said, "Sorry, I'm Yume, and that's Yuki." I said, pointing to the two of us in turn, "We were sent here to find you." I held out my hand to help him up.

"Eek!" Yuki, meanwhile, hadn't had a chance to stand herself, and had tumbled right off of me when I scrambled off Sora. "Jerk," she muttered, before retrieving her sword from where it'd fallen nearby and standing, dusting herself off. "Hmph. About time we did too, we've been looking for ya for way too long."

Sora took my hand and stood, "Umm, okay then." We all stopped and looked up as a loud noise met our ears.

"Come on!" I yelled, takeing off into the main area, towards the entrances to district three.

Yuki glanced at Sora, then shrugged and, hefting her sword over her shoulder, followed her friend. "Yume! Wait up!" Sora hesitated for a brief second, then ran after them before Yuki could get out of sight.

I skidded to a stop near the door, "Ready?" I called behind me as Yuki and Sora came up after me.

"For what?" Yuki gasped, clearly a little winded with the strain of running after me with her sword. Sora skidded to a stop next to her, looking somewhere along the lines of utterly confused, but he didn't say anything.

The door shuddered, "I'm not sure but there's baaad juju up here." I said, opening the door and running forth. Once inside I hopped over the stairway into the center.

Yuki groaned and Sora remarked next to her, "Is she always like this?"

"Pretty much," Yuki answered before following me, with Sora at her heels.

Suddenly walls enclosed the center area and I cheered despite myself, "Yay! A battle!" I crowed, my staff suddenly appearing in my hand, the orb topping it glowed. We were surrounded by a swarm of knight-Heartless. I frowned and swung my staff at one, if dissappeard in a mass of flame. "Sweet." I muttered, jumping at the next one.

"Show off," Yuki grunted from somewhere behind, shifting and hefting her sword off her shoulder. The tip hit the tiled floor with a thunk and she grinned, then let out a wild whoop and plunged into the very center of a group of Heartless.

Sora glanced towards her-no doubt briefly shocked that such an apparently delicate girl could actually weild that sword-before blocking with a yelp of surprise as the Heartless centered on him, remembering finally that being distracted wasn't exactly a good battle plan.

I waved the staff into the air and a shower of lightning struck the second next one down.

Sora, meanwhile, swung at the heartless that had attacked him, blocking the blow and hopping back, before leaping in the air and bringing the Keyblade down through it.

So he could fight.

"That's the last of them." I said.

"Well poo," Yuki snorted, hefting her blade back on her shoulder. "That was nothin'. I was expecting a little more from these things."

At that, the ground shook; I almost tripped over myself before regaining balance, suddenly two giant purple shoes-even bigger than Sora's-appeared on the ground, a giant torso fell from the sky above them, two matching gloves hovered on either side of it; they were all purple and iron-clad. A head, more of a small, hard, purple ball with braces fell on the top of the torso, above where the neck would be.

"Ho'snap!" I yelled, dodge-rolling out of the way as the reached his hand out, trying to claw us.

"EEK!" Yuki squealed shrilly, falling backwards onto her rump in surprise. Luckily for her, the Heartless's clawed hand missed her, just barely; Sora let out a yelp and ducked backwards to dodge as it came towards him. "Friggin' heck," Yuki almost screeched as she righted herself, "this is NOT what I meant!"

"BLIZZARD!" I yelled, resisting the urge to snap a retort at her. Ice and snow covered one of the creatures feet, but, instead of tripping it like I had hoped, it merely exploded in a mass of green dots.

Well, that was better, I guess.

But my magic was too low now.

"Crud." I groaned before leaping at the Heartless's other foot, hitting it with my now useless staff. "Any. One. Got. An. Ether?" I called in between hits.

"Don't look at me!" Yuki called, "I don't carry that stuff!" With that, she plunged into the fray to make sure I didn't get my rear end thorougly handed to me, subsequently getting swiped at.

The blow hit.

Yuki shrieked partly in surprise and partly in pain as she skidded across the floor. She straightened herself out a moment later, wincing and glaring hatefully at the Heartless.

"Ow," she almost snarled, "that hurt, you prick. Come here!" With that, she leapt to her feet, sword in hand, and plunged right back in.

Sora blinked as he watched us; well, I'm sure we were more like blurs as we swarmed around the creature, hitting and yelling. He sighed, but yet out a yell of his own and dived at the creature's hand, leaping up.

I myself had been hit, and swiped, and scratched. I fell back down to the ground, wincing. I threw a potion into the air and it fell back over me, reviving me in what amounted to a second or two. I was delighted to notice my magic felt recharged a bit too; maybe just enough...

I waved my staff and the Heartless's hand exploded in fire.

Yuki glanced towards Sora for a moment, then ducked and swung, taking its other hand out with one blow. "Stupid Heartless," she growled.

She backed up for a moment. "The torso?" She muttered tiredly. "Jeez. Just die already!" She glanced towards me. "Nice to see you're doing something now!" She called, before starting at a dead run towards what remained of the Heartless, only a step or two behind Sora.

I stuck my tounge out at her and fired a lightning blast at the creature. "A little more should do it!" I yelled to them, dashing after the two, though, admittedly, I don't know exactly what little old mystical me was supposed to do now...

"Good," Yuki grunted to herself. She struck at almost the exact same moment Sora did-whichever one hit first, though, hit hard enough. The Heartless jerked backwards, shuddering in midair, then, suddenly, disappeared, a single glowing pink heart floating into the air and disappearing. Yuki fell back onto the floor, wiping her forehead. "Jeez," she muttered.

I skidded to a stop next to them, "Finally." I groaned, sinking onto the floor next to her.

MEANWHILE IN A DARK AREA...

"I can't believe it!" a blue, firey shadow exclaimed, watching the three, "They actually defeated it! Those twerps defeated our Heartless!"

"No worries." A regal voice answered, the woman walked slowly down the steps, she wore a black dress and cloak, her eyes glowing, "They will be useful to us."
