Chapter Seven: OOO! Matches!
You know what…This last chapter made me really happy. In the same day that I posted it, my hits jumped up almost by 200. For someone like me, who is kind of like an indie writer, this is a big deal. Thank you all so much. I've been, motivated to keep writing this for I wasn't going to actually because I didn't see too many signs of interest, but now, I really do. Thanks you so much! Grab yerselves some four cheese cheez itz and some watered down green tea, and get at it! Warning- I said the f word in this one to warn younger audiences.
From what had happened at Sora's house, triggered a sort of protective shield around me. That point on, I was never allowed out of any of their sights.
Especially in school.
After about two days, I had fixed the PS2 so I could play the games for my newfound friends. Of course, I really didn't want to embarrass myself in front of them and start a new file, so I continued with my mostly perfect game.
"Alright, so, that's me?" Sora asked as I ran through Hollow Bastion—in the game of course. I nodded. "I think they exaggerated my hair."
"Ya think!" I laughed. "I mean, that kind of hair is…impossible." I ran down to a save point and returned to the map. "So, where to?"
"Twilight Town." Kairi suggested as I maneuvered the gummi ship and landed in the world. I began running around mindlessly.
"Are you ever going to show us the Organization members?" Riku asked, seeming to still be a little annoyed over our pointless, and very short-lived argument.
I sighed and opened up the start menu, and headed over to characters. One by one, I let them see the members. When I got to Saix, Sora wanted me to stop.
"So, you think that Mr. Asi, and Saix are the same person." He said. "And this is your proof?" I groaned.
"Sora, dear," I started sarcastically. "I've beat this game about a hundred times, trying to get the secret ending of this game, and I think I know the character of Saix."
The three of us sat motionlessly in Sora's room, as Donald suddenly came barging in—I forgot here was here!
"The ship's almost done!" he explained, suddenly glancing at the TV. With this complete look of confusion on his face, I explained the game to him.
"When can we leave?" Riku asked. "Is it that near being finished?" He threw his school jacket on the floor next to him. "I need to get away from here again."
"Oh no!" Kairi yelled. "Don't you get into this exploring new worlds thing again! If our home is gone because of you again, I'd…I'd…Lock behind the Door to Darkness!"
Riku smirked. "And you know, I probably belong there." I threw my Kyo bag at him.
"Riku, um, do you understand that we kind of can't get to the Door to Darkness, right now." I said to him, as I headed towards The World That Never Was, while in the game.
"Oh, god." Sora groaned as he saw me land in the city. I heard Riku cough.
"Is that me!" he asked, since it was the first time I had showed them this world. "My hair is…silver?"
"Didn't I tell you that?" I asked.
"But, it's metallic!" he continued. "And why doesn't Donald look any different!"
"I don't look much different either, Riku!" Kairi contradicted. Sora laughed.
"What do you think would happen, if the four of us, actually got stuck in that game?" he asked, almost philosophically.
"Wouldn't that screw up the connection between worlds?" I asked, pausing the game, as I headed to defeat Xemnas again.
"SORA!" his mom called. He groaned, and got up, heading towards the door.
"What mom!" he called back. We heard his mom say that one of the teachers is on the phone, and needed to speak to him.
The rest of us headed after him, and listened in as he spoke to his teacher.
"Oh, hello Mr. Lumaria." He started, looking at us shrugging. "Oh, you've heard about Anna." I swore to myself. "Uh, yeah, sure. I can tell her that for you. Her number? Uh, I don't actually know where she's staying. Okay then, I'll let her know. Bye." He hung up, and sighed.
"Our English teacher wants you to meet him." He grumbled. "And he wants you to bring the game."
The five of us, very, very, hesitantly, headed to the other side of the island where Mr. Lumaria lived. Lemme guess, he's gonna be Axel or someone. I was going to say "something" but that'd be kind of mean.
In my Kyo bag, I carried the three games, along with my memory card. Hey, you never know when there'll be a really good working PS2…Cause that one at Sora's, isn't too great.
Like the rest of the houses on the island, it was very normal, white with a varied color roof, but today it was hard to tell the color because of the dying sun.
Before one of us could even ring the doorbell, a man, with hair in a ponytail opened the hair. He was dressed pretty casually, in just a black t-shirt and jeans.
"You have great timing—" He paused. "All of you came. Sora, I thought you told me you were coming with her."
"No I didn't." He said quickly, as I clutched the Kyo bag. "Only Riku knows the way here, so we all came." Sora, thank you for the lie, please and thank you.
Mr. Lumaria sighed reluctantly. "Alright then, I suppose." He started the head back into his house. "Would you all meet me on the back patio?" And he closed the door.
The other four started to head to the back of the house when I cried out, "Wait! This isn't right!"
They all glanced at me. "Oh come on!" I snapped. "You all can't be this gullible! Isn't it obvious, it's a trap! This is the one major difference between you guys and the game version! You at least know when you're about to be lead into a trap! Here, you're just…just ordinary teenagers!"
"Well," Sora replied. "If this is some kind of trap, we'll get out of it. If Mr. Lumaria is one of the Organization members, or whatever, we could defeat him again."
Sora, I hope you're right.
"I told you!" I shouted, as Mr. Lumaria, conjured the scythe he, meaning Marluxia, uses in Chain of Memories.
"You know," he commented to Sora. "I don't see why you didn't listen to her?" He had the scythe to me neck so I couldn't free myself.
"You're an idiot, Sora!" I yelled. "And that goes for the rest of you too!"
Sora, Riku and Kairi all had their own Keyblades out, and Donald had his staff, leaving me, sadly…defenseless… I bet I could kick Marluxia's ass!
I started grabbing at the straps of the Kyo bag, hoping I could annoy him with something. C'est penible! Yeah! I speak French!
"What do you need Anna for!" Kairi shouted, attempting to get used to her Keyblade again.
Marluxia smiled. "Kairi, it is good to see you, how is Namine doing?"
"Answer her!" Riku snapped. "What do you need Anna for!"
I managed to open my Kyo bag and slide a hand in it and began to rummage around for something. Marluxia smirked, and opened up a portal of Darkness.
He began to laugh and head into the portal right when I—
"HA! MATCHES!" I struck a match and threatened him with it, freeing myself. "Behold! The power of kerosene!" I began to laugh crazily as I started to strike more matches. "I win! My conscious was right! I can kick Marluxia's ass…with matches!"
But, as I was enjoying my rejoice in kicking Marluxia's ass with the freaking him out with matches, he grabbed me, and threw me to the ground.
Sora then ran up to him and began to slash with his Keyblade, Riku, Kairi and Donald joining him.
Feeling extremely angry…and for lack of a better word…pissed off, I got to my feet and began to rummage in my bag again, only to grab my case for KH2. Damnit! Come on, you stupid game, be helpful right now! Yeah, I know, I have a heart shaped key around my neck, but I can't use that because I'd be using the same idea in two fanfics. My character Nakera in "The Princess Who Ruled Nothing" uses that! Unless, right now, I can change around the story…GAH! ANNA SHUT UP! Marluxia is trying to kidnap you and you can only think about how to fix this fanfic!
I opened the game case, and suddenly found myself looking at two small, circular, red and silver objects in the case. I picked them up, and I found myself holding—Axel's weapons. Yay fire!
"No one…" I started, flicking a lit match at Marluxia. "Tries to strangle me with a scythe…except for Tammy from my old school." He turned around, long enough for him to see me with Axel's weapons, and looked really, really confused.
"So," he said, stepping forward to me, "I see you have Axel's weapons. Do you know why?"
"Do I know?" I shouted. "I have no idea what the fuck is going on!" I threw Axel's weapons to the ground. "Don't pull and Axel and Roxas scene with me! Don't tell me that these are going to—" The weapons flashed back into my hands. "GAH!" Marluxia smirked, and then vanished into the darkness.
I started breathing heavily, and let out a clichéd, and very cinematic "NOOOOOO!" and ran off towards the docks.
