…Ninth chapter, and it STILL won't let me upload! AUUUURGGHH!

A World Deep in Disorder Chapter Twenty Six: Really pissed at uploading

I'm starting to not like the fact of writing while so many chapters are still waiting to be submitted. Oh well, have another. This is the second-to-last chapter of the middle portion of the Kyle/Alyssa chapter. Then, I shall begin the other sagas.

DISCLAIMER: You should know. I've been using it for a while.

Last Time: Must I bother?

Kyle/Alyssa Saga Chapter XIX:

Alyssa woke up. It was now morning. First thing she realized is that Kyle was still here with her. "Good morning, Lyss. Have a nice sleep?" Kyle asked. "Yes, thanks… but… were you up here with me the entire night, not sleeping at all?" Alyssa asked. Kyle nodded. "To be honest, yes." He said. Alyssa couldn't find the words to say. "Well… we should get ready for the day… don't want to be going around all dirty, now, do we?" Kyle asked. Alyssa nodded. "Yeah." She replied.

…And so, the two got ready, showered, and all the essentials…

They went to the lower decks, where Dark was sitting. "Have a nice sleep you two?" He asked. "I did." Alyssa smiled. "I didn't need one. Greater God, remember?" Kyle added in. Dark nodded. "Yes… the captain says that we're a half an hour away from Fighter Isle…so we should be ready to leave the ship." He explained. Kyle and Alyssa nodded. "Great. Let's enjoy this while we can." Kyle said, looking at the bright sun and the sparkling water.

"Actually, ye shouldn't enjoy it… look ahead!" Pellang yelled. "What?" Dark asked, looking to the front of the ship. The island could be seen from a distance, but surrounding it was a dark vortex of ominous clouds, and an extremely thick and huge cyclone. Thunder constantly crackled inside this dark storm, which seemed to permanently surround the island. "This be the reason why normal ships can't go through here!" Pellang yelled. "I suggest that ye get inside, it be a very bumpy ride." He added, going inside his private driving quarters.

Dark headed for his room, and Kyle and Alyssa headed for their own rooms. Except that they decided to go into the same room. "Lyss… let's get through this, ok?" Kyle asked. Alyssa nodded. "Like I've said, no matter where we go, I'm with you all the way." She replied. The ship began to toss and turn… a lot. There was a big rumbling, and suddenly, a huge mechanism was heard inside the ship.

"The mechanism that the ship must use to get through there must be working, now." Kyle sighed. Alyssa nodded, he was right. The shaking stopped, and suddenly, Pellang's voice was heard on an intercom. "Yar! It be safe to come out now, maties!" He exclaimed. Kyle, Alyssa, and Dark all stepped out into the sunlight. It was bright, and the storm was behind them. The ship had dropped its anchor on a simple island. It wasn't very big, and most of it was just flat brown rock, with the exception of a single cave.

"Now… I see why you charge a thousand coins…" Alyssa sighed. Pellang nodded. "Yar! Ye'd be wanting to get through thar cave… I be waiting for ye to return!" Pellang exclaimed, before disappearing into his private quarters. The three got off the ship, and onto solid land. "About time… a day's travel on the sea… is a bit much…" Dark wheezed. "Are you getting seasick?" Kyle asked. "Nope… I'm perfectly BBLLAARRFF! pukes." Dark said, while puking mid-sentence. "Yup… he got seasick, all right… at least he let it out now instead of later." Alyssa stated.

Kyle let out a small chuckle. "Alright… let's go." He said, as the other two followed him into the cave. Inside were a few people. The largest of them approached the three. "Welcome, travelers, to Clan Stonefist." The man said. He was seven feet tall, and seemed to be twenty-five. He had gray hair, and brown eyes, and wore a simple brown leather outfit.

"Clan?" Kyle asked. "Yes. We have recently spread the word. Clans are groups of people who band together for survival in the big fight against the rogues. Each Clan has a Clanmaster, a Second-in-Command, five elites, and then the normal people." The man said, explaining how Clans work.

"We have hope then… If we can just unite all the clans, then the rogues shall fall…" Kyle stated. The man shook his head. "No… their leader is too powerful; a greater god! We need the other greater god to take them down." He explained. Kyle smirked, and took off his shades, revealing his eyes.

"It's the greater god! Leader of the rogues' downfall!" The man exclaimed. All his clan members began to bow down. "You know, I really could do without the formalities." Kyle stated. The instant he said this, all Clan Stonefist stopped bowing and got up. "Well, so far, we know of three or so Clans, although the word has spread all over. There's this Clan, Clan Frozenwind, Clan Jade, and it is expected that you start a clan, yourself, the clan that will lead the world to justice." The man explained.

"I see… I'm guessing that there are so few clans because they are frowned upon by the general public for believing in the other greater god." The man said. Kyle nodded. "Why haven't you all been branded already?" He asked. The man sighed. "This natural storm around our island gives us natural cover, and Pellang has promised not to take any haters on his boat." He said. Kyle nodded, and put his shades back on. "By the way, what's your name?" He asked. "Oh, forgive me, my name's Janus, Clanmaster of Clan Stonefist." The man said. "Nice to meet you, I'm Kyle, and these two are Alyssa and Dark." Kyle said.

"Please, my greater god, Kyle, and everyone else, feel free to spend the day here as you please!" Janus exclaimed. Kyle nodded. "We will, but now knowing about the clans, I'm not sure what we're going to do tomorrow…" He said. Janus nodded. "Just enjoy your day as much as possible." He said.

…And so, they enjoyed the day, and soon night came… it began to rain lightly…

…Everyone was asleep…

…Except Kyle…

Kyle looked down at Alyssa, who was sleeping on the neighboring bed. She looked extremely content. This made Kyle happy… but still… there was something about the outdoor rain that made things… unsettled… Then, he remembered…

…Seven Years Earlier…

Seven-Year-Old Kyle was staring out his window. He saw the gate bust down… when Ace first entered the area… it was a light rain JUST like this… and the clouds were a light gray… JUST like they were in the present… and the light rumbles of thunder were in the background… just like now… and when the battle began… the skies turned black, the rain became a sheer downpour, and lightning raged…

…Back to the Present…

Kyle looked at the sleeping Alyssa. "I'll be back… I promise…" He said, leaving the cave, into the pouring rain. Outside, he saw a heavily brown-cloaked figure.

"How'd you get here…

…Ace?" Kyle asked.

"Very perceptive… it has been FAR to long." Ace said, taking off his giant cloak, his face still wrapped up in bandages, he was already in his sheik form. At his sides, were his two normal blades. Kyle took off his shades, revealing his thunderstorm-like eyes. "I'm going to kill you." He said, transforming into his Bowser form.

The soft rain suddenly became a heavy downpour, and the gentle thunder became violent lightning, the sky going from a light gray to a dark black…

…The battle was about to begin…

MUHUHAHAHA! Cliffy of hell! See what happens next chapter! Until then…
