Welcome everyone to the seventh instalment of KHXRWBYXFT. With me is my partner and friend Kaizokuoniiorewanaru.
Kaizoku: Hey there. So, who's the guest this time?
It was your turn to bring in the costar.
Kaizoku: Is it? You know, I keep forgetting the order in these things... Ah, whatever. Please welcome Donald Duck!
Donald: "Wah!? Me!?"
Kaizoku: We already used all four of the Keyblade Wielders and we can't return to any of the Traverse Town people yet. Soooooooo...
And Alice and Yang are not here as well.
Donald: "Aw, phooey."
Kaizoku: Alright, Donald. Go ahead with the disclaimer.
Donald: "Yeah, yeah, these two palookas don't own anything, just what they added to the story."
Kaizoku: ...Can they just say that? If so, why didn't they, or WE, for that matter, do that earlier!?
What? Usually there's more interaction with guest.
Kaizoku: Yeah...
So let's just start.
Kaizoku: Right.
Hope you all enjoy.
Chapter 7: The Search for Two Blonds
The group goes into the forest, searching for the two blonde girls that were whisked away during their previous fight. "So anyone got a plan or something tom find them?" Jaune asked.
They suddenly see a red flower blooming and suddenly shooting a boulder that avoided the group. Just then, the Cheshire Cat appeared on top of the boulder. "Have you seen Alice and Yang?" Donald asked the cat.
"Alice and Yang, no. Shadows, yes!" The Cheshire cat answered.
"Where did they go?" Goofy asked.
"This way? That way? Does it matter?" The cat asked back. "Left, right, up, down! All mixed up thanks to the shadows! Step deeper into the forest to the deserted garden. You might find shadows in the upside-down room!" He exclaimed before disappearing.
Lucy just groans in annoyance. "Can't he give a straight answer…?"
"Well, we might as well head over to this 'upside-down room' that cat talked about." Rarity suggested.
"Guess we should," Lucy agreed.
They go through the forest and see that the boulder that was blocking their way to another portion of the forest is the same boulder that was shot out by the flower they saw. "Hey! We can go through here!" Spike pointed out.
"Guess that was the same bolder that was thrown out of that flower… Wow that sounded weird…" Ruby stated.
"Yeah. No matter how you say it, it just sounds weird." Jaune agreed. The group goes to a portion of the forest where they see a table surrounded by chairs and a wall with the picture of a short man and a rabbit the size of that man who is wearing red clothing. The man was wearing a tall hat. They also see a sign next to the picture.
"'A very merry unbirthday. Sit down to obtain your present.'" Pinkie read.
"Well there seven seats and seventeen of use, not counting journal log book members and Happy," Lucy stated.
"And each one has a different color and/or material..." Trixie pointed out.
"So each one could have a different 'present' for everybody..." Spike added.
"We could have three of us sit on some seats." Ruby suggested. "One Keyblade wielder, one magic user, and one strength based being."
"Sooooo… Who's going to pick?" Sora asked.
"Why not Jaune or Lucy? They're smart~" Ruby suggested.
"Rock, paper, scissors?" Juane asked Lucy.
"Okay, why not?" Lucy answered. They play their game and Lucy won with her rock against Jaune's scissors. "Rock beats scissors~" Lucy declared.
Juane head slumped down. "Of course…" Ruby pats Jaune on the back to cheer him up. "Thanks Ruby."
Lucy looked to Rarity and Applejack. "Mind helping out?"
"Sure thing." Applejack said.
"Of course, darling." Rarity replied.
"Let's see... Which chair..." Jaune thought out loud.
"Not sure, really, I have a feeling if we pick a wrong one…" Lucy started.
"Something bad will happen... right?" Ruby finished.
"And with this kooky world, we might be fighting heartless as a prize…" Lucy stated.
"Present." Spike corrected.
"Whatever!" Lucy spat back.
"And in the event that we DO, the table, chairs, and what have you will disappear for that Heartless to appear." Starlight added.
Lucy just sighed. "Let's just get this over with…"
"Okay. Here goes..." Jaune declared before sitting on the seat that was on the top right portion of the table. When they did, something happened. The chairs they were on fell over, but munny fell from the ceiling and onto the table and floor.
"Huh, it's raining munny again~" Yacko stated.
"Okay, which one now..." Ruby hummed.
"Not sure," Jaune stated. "Let's try... this one." He said as he sits on the pink wooden chair while Rarity and Applejack sit on some other chairs. A cake appeared and suddenly turns into smoke as the chairs fall over then disappear along with the table. Just then, a Large Body appeared. "I picked the wrong one! I'm sorry!"
"Not your fault, their must be a pattern we didn't see," Lucy stated, pulling her key out. "But for now, deal with these guys."
"This guy." Starlight corrected. Lucy hummed in confusion. "Only one Heartless. I don't sense that there are more. Just that Large Body."
"Let's count our luck for that," Lucy stated.
They defeat it easily. "I wonder if the table and chairs will reappear whenever we leave the room..." Ruby thought out loud.
"Let's worry about that later, sugarcube," Applejack said.
"Yeah, okay." Ruby replied. They go to the next room, but they see that they are in the same room where they found the claw marks, but on its ceiling.
"You know, at this point… I'm not surprised…" Lucy said in a deadpan.
The Cheshire cat appeared close to them, but not close enough to give them a scare. "They're hiding somewhere. And the momeraths outgrabe. Want to find the shadows? Try turning on the light." He told as he disappears. The group then divert their attention to the two lanterns. One of the Keyblade wielders light one of those lanterns up, making the cat appear again. "It's too dim. Make it brighter." He ordered.
"What next?" Trixie asked.
"One more lamp that you need to light." The cat answered... I think, as he disappears. Another Keyblade wielder lights up the lantern, making the cat appear again. "All the lights are on. You'll see the shadows soon. They'll arise in this room, but somewhere else. The shadows might go after that doorknob, too." He declared as he disappears again.
"We've gotta save that doorknob!" Ruby exclaimed.
"Well we better hurry then if we want to save him," Jaune stated. He then see a latch. "Hey, yu think this might be a short cut?"
"Well, let's find out." Daffy said as they go and open the latch, opening the door. Rainbow looks ahead.
"Yeah. Definitely a shortcut. This leads to the entrance that we used to enter the Queen of Hearts' castle." Rainbow declared.
"Good to know," Ruby stated. "Now let's get going."
The group goes through the Queen's castle and back to the floor of the bizarre room. They see the Cheshire cat on the table. "You'll have a better view from higher up." He said. The group goes to the table and talk to the cat who stands on his hind legs. "The shadows should be here soon. Are you prepared for the worst? If not, too bad!" The cat declared as he points up. Everyone looks up and sees a large Heartless drop from the ceiling and into the floor hands first then they see it jump from its hands to the other side of the table and land feet first. The Heartless has a tall stack of faces and paper arms that held two sticks that it is now juggling.
"Careful, guys! That's a Trickmaster!" Fidget called the large Heartless.
"Any weaknesses?" Starlight asked.
"Aim for any part of that thing's body except for the legs and feet. Your attacks will only pass through the legs and its feet are made of unbreakable material. You won't deal damage to it by attacking its feet alone." Fidget answered.
"Got it," Ruby said.
"We know it's weakness," Juane started. "Circle around it and make it not sure who to hit."
The group does so while the Trickmaster swings one of its sticks at them. "Happy!" Lucy called.
"Aye! I know!" Happy told as he carries Lucy while using his wings to fly.
"That is useful," Sora stated.
"Heads up!" Yacko warrened when the Trickmaster, came down to attack with its' clubs. The Trickmaster managed to hit Goofy who gave a yelp of pain.
"You okay Goofy?" Sora called out.
"Yeah...! I get hit in the head all the time!" Goofy answered.
"You don't say that yet." Pinkie told.
"What?" Goofy hummed in confusion.
"What." Pinkie said.
"Ignoring that," Lucy stated. "Keep up the attack!"
"Aye!" Happy exclaimed as he gets Lucy closer to the Trickmaster's body
"Let's go!" Sora ordered as he jumps in the air and attacks but couldn't quite reach the Trickmaster.
The others started attacking as well, the spell casters of the party were shooting it.
As soon as it sustained enough damage, the Trickmaster started making its way to the oven that was in the room. "What's it doing?" Happy thought out loud. He then brought Lucy to where they were over the Trickmaster's shoulder and see that it was lighting the two sticks it held on fire. And they weren't burning away somehow. "Oh, that's bad..."
"It couldn't be easy, could it…" Jaune asked.
The Trickmaster then sees Happy and attacks him with its sticks.
Happy dodged with great skill. "Nice try you overgrown jester!"
The Trickmaster put one of the sticks close to one of its tall stack of faces and that face blew into it, creating a fireball that homed in on Happy. It then did the same thing to the others as soon as it spotted them still attacking it.
"Oh, come on!" Lucy shouted in anger. "It can shoot fireballs!?"
Ruby then strikes one of the fireballs heading for her which hits the Trickmaster while it was homing in on it. "Whoa! Guys! We can deflect them back!" Ruby advised.
"Okay, that was cool," Yacko stated.
"You said it," Spike agreed.
"Well we have a new way to hurt it now," Jaune stated.
The attack Ruby deflected at the Trickmaster managed to stun it and lower its body.
"Nice one Ruby!" Sora complemented her.
"Let's finish it off!" Jaune ordered. They do so, making it fall, rise back up then fall even further down to the ground. It then released a heart that floated into the sky, past the roof of the Bizarre Room. They then saw a small trinket that had a small horn on it. It was called Ifrit's Horn.
"Ifrit... I think it sounds like a spirit of fire..." Lucy thought out loud. The doorknob behind them yawns.
"What a racket." The doorknob moaned. "How's a doorknob to get any sleep?" He asked before yawning again, his mouth opening wider, revealing a keyhole. Suddenly, the tip of Sora's Keyblade glows, shook Sora's arm, thrust towards the keyhole, and fired a laser into it. After that, it made a locking sound, as if a door has just been locked.
"What was that?" Daffy asked.
"You hear that? Sounded like something closed." Lucy told. Just then, three small objects appeared from the doorknob.
"These gummi parts ain't like the others, no sir." Goofy declared.
"Okay, Rarity, Porky, and I will hold on to them." Donald said as he, Rarity, and Porky all pick up the gummi parts. They were all labled Navi-G Piece. Just then, the Cheshire Cat appeared on the table.
"Splendid. You're quite the heroes." The cat praised, grabbing everyone's attention. "If you're looking for Alice and Yang, they're not here. Yang is at the Rabbit Hole entrance. As for Alice... She's gone! Off with the shadows, into darkness." He said as he fades away.
"What? Alice is gone?" Jaune asked.
"At least Yang's still here," Rarity stated. "Let's get her and see if she's okay." They all nodded. They grew back to normal and went to the entrance and found Yang out cold.
"Yang!" Ruby called as she runs to Yang. She tries to shake her awake. "Hey! C'mon sis! Wake up!" She asked of.
Yang started groaning and waking up. She then held her head in pain. "Uh… What happened…? I feel like I was hit by an air ship…"
"I'd think an air ship would be more forgiving..." Fidget lampshaded.
"Glad you're still okay, though." Jiminy declared.
"Truth be the- told, I don't know how you got out of the darkness's the- constrictive grasp..." Tama pointed out.
"That doesn't matter right now. Yang's okay~!" Ruby exclaimed happily.
"C'mon, Yang. Let's get you to safety." Jaune said to Yang.
"Ugh... Five more minutes... I still got a headache..." Yang complained.
"You can rest in the Gummi ship Darling~" Rarity said. "It'll be safer."
"… Gummi Ship?" Yang asked.
To be continued.
And that's the chapter.
Donald: "What took you two so long!?"
Life and finishing his story to help him. (Points to Kaizokuoniiorewanaru)
Kaizoku: *chuckles* By the way, I actually have made two Journal RPs in my Deviantart page. One is called Cross Emblem: Six Houses: First Journey and the other is called Cross Hack Volume 1: Rebirth.
I'll check them out when I have time to read. … Do you have a Fanfiction page. I can read them faster on the app because it has a reader in it so you can listen to stories. Like on CDs.
Kaizoku: I used to...
What happened? Got deleted or something?
Kaizoku: Forgot my password. Happens to the best of us...
Ah, I see. Well, if you get another, tell me, okay?
Kaizoku: Sure.
Donald: "Will you two hurry it up!?"
Right, well next chapter will be dropping Yang off in Traverse Town and off to the next world.
Kaizoku: And with that being said, thank you for reading.
See you all next time.
Please R&R
