Chapter 19 Sinful Fox

Strelitzia's POV

One Hour Later

The signal on Elrena's phone led us to a cave inside a mountain.

We had changed back into our regular outfits.

"I hope Stitch is okay", I said in concern.

"If we don't deal with this Sinful Energy, nobody is going to be okay", Elrena said.

"You're right", I agreed.

Then...Elrena and I walked into the cave, where we were met with a unique sight.

It was...a giant, black fox!

"What in the worlds is that thing", Elrena asked.

"It's the Sinful Energy", I replied.

"You sure about that", Elrena asked.

"I'm sure", I replied. "I can sense it."

"Alright then", Elrena said before summoning her Keyblade. "Then let's take this thing down!"

With that, I summoned my Keyblade.

Then, Elrena and I charged at the fox.

"Strelitzia", she yelled out before holding out her hand.

I took it, and then...Elrena threw me into the air!

I tried striking the fox, but it saw me and slashed me with its paw!

Luckily, I managed to land on the ground on my feet.

The fox then tried to hit me again, but was stopped when Elrena hit it with electricity.

"Come and get me to giant freak", she yelled.

The fox turned around, and then, I slashed it in its sides.

It yelled out in pain before it tried to hit me, but I managed to dodge it.

Then Elrena ran up to me and held our her hand.

I took it and she once again threw me into the air.

I landed on its back and managed to get a good amount of swipes in, weakening the fox.

"Now Elrena", I yelled before jumping off it.

Then...Elrena summoned a large amount of electricity and struck the fox with it.

This caused it fall to the ground.

And then...it disappeared.

That Night

We were back with Lilo.

It turns out she left the competition to look for Stitch.

They found him, and managed to fix what was causing him to act out.

Lilo and her entire family were now performing Lilo's hula back at the stage while Elrena and I watched.

Thankfully, Lilo was not upset. All that mattered to her was that her friend was okay.

The Next Day

Elrena and I had returned to the Foretellers old castle, which we had now turned into our base of operations.

"Sup", she greeted as we walked up to Ienzo.

"Larxene", Ienzo started. "Strelitzia. Glad to see that you two made it back safely. How did the mission go?"

"The Sinful Enegry is done and dusted", Elrena replied.

"That's great", Ienzo said.

"Has my brother come back yet", I asked.

"Not yet", Ienzo replied.

Then...I felt somebody put their hand on my shoulder.

I turned around...and saw...Ven.

"Ven", I asked in shock.

"Hey Strelitzia", Ven greeted. "Can we talk?"

Five Minutes Later

Ven and I were sitting on the steps of the castle.

"So", I started. "How did your mission go?"

"It taught me something important", Ven replied.

Then...he grabbed my hands and looked me right in the eyes.

"It taught me...to not push away the people I love."

I couldn't say anything, so Ven just continued.

"Strelitzia", he started. "I'm sorry I pushed you away. I was scared that I was going to hurt you. Honestly, I'm still scared, but I'm not going to let that fear keep me away from you anymore."
