The tale outside of Sylvia's green ship landing in the destination set to reunite Talon with his friends.
===============================TRAVERS TOWN=============================
Sylvia, Roxanne, and Talon entered the town front
"Alright Peg said she'll be here soon to get you!" Sylvia said to talon, but hr was distracted "Uh Talon?"
Talon kept staring at the back of Roxanne's red hair reminds him of Rem, even seeing the back of Rem in replace of Roxanne
The image of Rem vanishes to change back to Roxanne "Hm? What?"
"N-nothing! Um, Sylvia how soon?"
"Hehe, so cute! I don't really kn- Pluto?!" Sylvia shouts as she sees a familiar yellow canine, she ran to catch the dog Talon and Roxanne following after her. To behind large doors to a dark strip mall. Her head pans left to right, as the dog disappeared.
"Um, miss Marpole?" Roxanne questions.
Attention struck Talon as he sees shadow crawling around on the floor. Summons out his -blade. "we to get out of here!"
The black imp-like heartless grew out the ground, surrounding them and separating the three, Sylvia took out a blaster and Roxanne pulled out a monkey wrench from her backpack.
The three fought to a free path back. Talon and Roxanne would slash at the imps and Syvia kept firing at the enemies.
Thier exit back was right their after Talon slashed one away to disappearance "Hurry!" they were just about to exit.
unfortunately, a gang blue knight heartless warriors appeared and one leaped from the roof and taken Roxanne down "Ahh!" she screamed as she was tackled.
"Roxanne!" Sylvia yelled before more heartless appeared while the other of those creatures began taking Roxanne away
Talon struck the recent heartless away "Sylvia, go wait for them, I'll save Roxanne! Go!" Talon ran off in the opposite direction from her to go and save the mechanic teen.
The Pistol ship was nearing the destination.
Inside the ship, on the top floor Peg was Piloting the ship with Pistol by her side and below in the training room was Rem did some practice fighting with Josh. The issue was still his key-blade was still heavy for him to lift it, unlike in chapter 7. So they used a struggle bats (woofer bats) to practice. The boy managed to block her attacks. But still Rem had the upper hand which made him trip and fall over, ending with Rem aimed the end of her struggle bat to Josh's face. "Hehehe, 'gotta say Josh, you really improved! All that practicing really helped!" She shows mercy and giggled before leaning over and offered him a hand up.
Taking Rem's hand "thanks but-" after getting up, Josh summons his keyblade in his hand and it's weight was too much for him and the boy collapses " What is up with this thing!?" He stands and struggled to lift it.
Rem would help but it would vanish back to Josh's hands. So she could do was watch. "Hehe! So cute!" she squeeled, causing Josh embarrassment
"t-talon didn't tell me it would be this hard!" Josh not realizing he just the name that triggered Rem's anger.
Gripping her fist, before Rem could speak. Peg alerts them through the speaker "We're here!~"
The ship lands on Traverse town. The four's first stop was the town's shopping center at the front the four walked.
Peg says "Hmm they should've already been here before us!" She had her chin on her hand as she wondered
Rem was fascinated by the look of the town center, it was like her home pain struck her head as a flash image of a girl stuck her head, falling to her knee "Agh!" Held her head.
Concerned, Josh asked "Rem?""
Pistol adds "What is it?" both placed their palms on Rem.
"I-I'm alright! Just a small headache!" Rem response while waving them away before giving a playful bonk to her own head and a tongue out.
Peg was also worried for the girl "I guess we need to wait for- ah hey Sylvia!" she was at her friend as she came bolting out. The toon dig face captain asked her friend about her friend's frightened expression, like there wasn't enough issue to deal with worry about.
"Thank goodness! Those creatures kidnapped Roxanne and Talon left down the strip-mall to save her! Hurry!"
Before they left, Josh had a glimpse of a young boy in red pants (young sora)
The group entered the dark strip mall where they were greeted by heartless enemies to face. Another heartless appeared behind them (was short and carried a yellow bat)
One was about to struck the weakest of the gang, Josh."Ahhh!" he yells as he went flying
Snapping their focus to Josh, Rem smashes her keyblade over the heartless to disappearance
having her hand as she tried reaching for Josh as he fled away :Josh!" yet another one of friends taken away.
More heartless began appearing the Dog girls began using their blasters at some. Peg shouts "Rem we'll handel them! You go find Josh!"
Rem at first hesitated "Uh!" *"Go!"
"Grr" Ren gives a hard nod as she agreed "Right!" she ran off in the direction Josh was going to.
the meanwhile, Roxanne was tied in chains and knocked out while Talon had to dodge some attacks from a Heartless
(in a medieval fashion, red hooded excursioner with a large axe, with a rope at the end of it and the rope and the rope was tied to it's arm. ) the miss attacks left narrow broken stone craters behind
it swung it's axe down attempting to strike Talon but the boy constantly dodges, as well as launching himself to send strikes.
Returning to the darkness infected Talon battling the excursioner heartless to save Roxanne. Talon and the excursioner paused from attacking and stared at one another. This face off was irrupted.
"Ahhh! Help!"
Talon looked up to see it was Josh flying across the air and landed on Talon, in a rough way"Ohh my head! ~ Talon?"
It was no time to celebrate this reunion since they had to dodge the blade of the large axe the excursioner swung down.
"Josh quick go help Roxanne while I keep this guy busy!" Talon says points at Roxanne who was tied in chains locked by a shackle.
Josh agreed and as he ran to the knocked-out dog girl while Talon distracts the heartless. Josh made it to Roxanne. He did not know exactly how to free her. He tried to use his struggle bat to spread open the chains wide enough to slide her out.
"Josh, Look out!" Talon shouts
He looked back to see the giant axe blade heading towards him, turns out Talon's distraction wasn't enough for the Excursioner to not notice the child.
All was dust at first until it swirled away to revile young Josh using his keyblade to block the axe, Josh was amazed keyblade was not too heavy for him once again. The only thing heavy now was the force of the giant axe he was blocking.
"There you are!" Yelled a familiar voice to Talon.
He looked back and saw Rem, pistol, Peg, and Sylvia arrive.
"...Talon!" says Rem.
"Rem!" Says Talon as the two friends have a touching reunion with one another
Rem Interrupts that touching reunion by arching her eyebrows as she yelled his name in vein "Taaallloooon!" grabbed he collar of his shirt before giving his arm a hard punch. as his punishment for leaving.
Accepting his punishment as he rubbed his arm as is punishment Yelling "He needs help!"
She spies Josh trying to hold back the enemy's weapon. Gritting her teeth, " Let's go!" Talon and Rem took his free chance to attack the back of the Heartless.
The excursioner heartless beast roars and pulls back from the conflict with Josh and flings it's axe at Rem and Talon,
Talon leaped on to the side of the axe then off to give a hard slash to the hooded head of the creature, making it loose balance.
It yanks the rope tied to it's arm to yank it's axe back, not knowing Josh was back freeing Roxanne from those chains she was tied/ shackled in., Talon told him before that a keyblade could open any sort of locks.
Learned this technique from watching Talon, Rem threw her keyblade like a boomerang to strike at the beast's head. Knocking the hood off.
The creature had a round dark head had 2 yellow orbs for eyes and a big red one in between, this was the target to destroy the Heartless. Talon and Rem did a X to hit it, weakened it.
The heartless fell to it's knees as it drops it's axe Josh took this free chance to attack, Josh ran up the falling axe then off it, jumping, to swing his keyblade over his head to give the final strike. The heartless began fading away.
They celebrate with Roxanne after she wake
The Disney dog gals were able to defeat the other heartless and all returned to town square to what they came to do returning Talon with the previous gang .
"Roy! Have any idea why those guys took you?!" pistolasked
Roxanne shrugs with her hands up "beats me! Anyway." placed her palm on Josh's head "I need to thank you Josh! Rem told me that you prevented us from getting h got me free from those chains!"
The child was embarrassed and tried to hide his face, by hiding next to a wall.
All the girls and Talon giggled/chuckled from the cute sight
After words they all returned to their ships
In the pistol ship the reunited gang were heading to their next adventure. Above Peg was Piloting with Pistol. Below Rem and Josh were training with the return with the return of their instructor, Talon. Both using 'struggle' bats. After a while, Talon claps "Good, now how about we make things interesting!" his keyblade out of his hand.
Ren grinned and summons her keyblade "Alright!" she battle poses
Josh on the other hand was reluctant of summoning out his keyblade, for he was unsure if he could lift the key again. Spoke with Josh "Josh I told you that to use a keyblade you had have to have a reason! Back there I realized your realized that me and Em can summon ours. To protect!"
Thinking back, Josh remembered when he helped the safty of his friends. Curling his lips before he fling his arm out and his eolf keyblade was in his hand again and strikes a pose "Alright!"
It was for the best that Roxanne stayed with Sylvia in her ship, for the girl's safety .
