(Chapter Updated)

Hello everyone. I am back from a break and here is a new chapter. After this, they will head to their first world, which world, I don't know yet. Anyways, enjoy this chapter.

Chapter 5

Sighing in stress, Jason was in the room he stayed in as he looked at his partly destroyed armor as he tried to find a way to fix it before he heads out with his new teammates. But sadly, the materials he need to fix it are back home, so fixing his armor is out of the question. While he was in deep thought, there was a knock on his door. Jason went and opened the door and saw Kairi standing there. Raising an eyebrow, Jason said "Um…Kairi, right?"

As Kairi nodded. Jason asked "What you need?"

Kairi replied "Do you need help trying to fix that armor of yours? I know it is your only pair."

"Sadly, it was," Jason said, "To be fair, it took a lot of hard beatings back home. Still, I lack the materials to fix my armor. Unless you have a way."

"I do," Kairi said, "Follow me."

While Kairi walked away, Jason quickly got his armor and started to follow here to see where she was going. After a few minutes of walking, Kairi eventually led Jason to the three good fairies, Flora, Fauna and Merryweather. As soon as the fairies saw Jason, they walked up to him and Flora said "Well hello dearie, we heard that you were the one who saved Kairi here."

Jason nodded and replied "That's right. Kairi said you can fix my armor"

Merryweather replied "Oh of course. Just stand there while we use our magic to fix it."

While Jason stood there with his damaged armor in his hands, Merryweather waved her wand and, as soon as her magic touched Jason's armor, instead of fixing it, it just turned blue. When Flora saw this, she was a bit irritated and she used her magic and turned his armor red. Fauna decided to get herself involved as she used her magic to turn Jason's armor green. As the three fairies took turns changing the color of Jason's armor, Jason stood there a bit stressed out while Kairi was silently laughing as she watched.

Before one of the fairies were about to use their magic, Jason finally said "Ok, I am literally losing my patience here. So, if one of you can fix my armor, I would really appreciate it."

The three fairies all decided to put their differences to the side to aid Jason. As the three of them waved their wands and launched their magic at the damaged armor. Once their magic touched the armor, it started to glow for a bit before it dimmed down. Before, the armor was badly damaged, and it was close to rusting. Now, it looked like it was brand new, it was shining and clean. He grabs a hold of it and uses his Pipboy to put it away and then his whole body glowed for a bit before his current clothes were replaced with his new armor.

He admired it for a while before looking at the 3 fairies and "Thank you. This looks like it's brand new. I bet I don't have to constantly repair it."

Flora nodded and said "Of course dear, now do be careful out there. It is a dangerous place out there."

"Highly doubt it," Jason said, "But thanks for the warning."

After that, he and Kairi left the 3 fairies. As they were walking, Jason turns to Kairi and asked "So I am guessing the cartoon trio went to get the ship?"

Kairi shook her head and replied "Don't be mean. As for Mickey, Donald and Goofy, they did. They should be here soon. So, until then, we have to wait."

Jason nodded and said "I guess so. If I had my ship, we would have been out of here."

As Kairi nodded and they continued walking, she looked down for a bit and said "Thank you…"

Confused, Jason looked at Kairi and asked "Thank me for what?"

"For saving me," Kairi said, "I was careless to leave this place that I didn't know of the consequences."

"I am just glad you are alright," Jason said, "And I don't blame you for leaving this place, I would too if I was forced to live in a tower for years. Plus, you leaving was a good thing if you think about it."

As Kairi looked at him in confusion, he then said "See, if you hadn't left the tower, then Xehanort wouldn't have shown up and I wouldn't even be here."

Kairi thought about it and replied "I suppose so. But…"

She looked at him and said "I was worried that something bad happened to you when you got hurt bad. Especially when they attacked you like that."

Jason waved his hand and said "Trust me, don't worry about it. I am used to taking on the pain. What those guys threw at me was nothing compare the beating I took from home."

"The beating you took from home?" Kairi asked, "Now I am curious where you live."

Jason shook his head as he patted her head and said "Oh sweetheart, it would be best if you didn't know about it."

Kairi tilts her head and asked "Is your world really that bad?"

"Trust me," Jason said, "It would be best if you don't know about it. But anyways, where is the others? I am sure they are busy somewhere."

"Are we sure we want someone like him with us?" Lea asked.

Everyone was gathered outside where they wait for the Gummi Ship to arrive. While they wait, they started to talk about having Jason around them and to see if it was the safe choice to make. Riku sighed and said "We don't have a choice. If we let him loose and he manages to track down Xehanort and his Seekers, he will likely kill them. Even those who are under his control."

Hearing what Riku said, they all nodded in agreement. If they let Jason go, then he would just go ahead and kill their friends under Xehanort's control. That was why it would be best if they had a closer eye on Jason and make sure they had him under control all while having him to avoid any problems.

"In the meantime," Ven said as he placed his hand behind his head, "We should focus our plan of attack. Like, what world we need to head to?"

"Don't know," Aqua said, "We'll just have to find out when we head out."

While Ventus nodded, Aqua looked at him and that is when she noticed Ven has changed a lot. Unlike the short, skinny boy she once knew, Ven sure grew up a lot. He was almost the same height as Riku and was very well-built. He was also wearing a sleeveless shirt and has his armor shoulder pad on his left shoulder. Seeing Ven look like this made Aqua giggle a bit.

Curious, everyone looked at her and Lea asked "What got you laughing at?"

Aqua replied "It's Ven. I didn't notice him earlier, but he looks so grown up now."

Both Lea and Riku looked at Ven and Lea said "Huh, didn't notice it at first. You've been working out?"

Ven nervously laughs and said "Well, you can say that. I have been training hard these past few years."

"You said you fought against Vanitas when Xehanort sent the others to distract us," Riku said, "Did he gave you any trouble."

"The only trouble I had was dealing with the Unversed," Ven said, "But other than that, it was rather easy to be honest."

"Well glad you have been training," Lea said, "I have also been training now and then, but it's still not enough to take down Xehanort and the others."

"I agree," Riku said, "But even with all of our training, it won't be good if we are facing those under Xehanort's control."

"Then I suggest a new form of training?"

Hearing who talked, everyone turned and saw Jason and Kairi walking out of the tower. As they walked towards them, Jason then said "Because the way I see it, it seems whatever training you guys have had, it won't be a way to take down the old man."

"Oh yeah?" Lea said, "And what do think what our kind of training should be?"

Jason replied "It's simple, you guys need to be more aggressive with your attacks and precise."

Aqua shook her head and said "We are not learning any aggressive attacks, especially ones that could cause harm on our friends, who are under his control."

Jason then said "But it won't hurt to at least knock them out when you go up against the others."

"We'll see," Aqua said, "But in the meantime, we should get you proper training."

"Proper training?" Jason asked, "That wasn't what we agreed on."

"No," Riku said, "But from the fight Kairi told us about, your attacks were both brutal and predicable. And you may have power, but you lack any magic knowledge and experience."

"So, I am the inexperienced one here?" Jason asked, "Well that sucks, considering that I was the only one who came close to beating him."

Before anyone could reply, Ven said "He is right about that. He may not know anything about how to use the Keyblade or magic, but he came close to beating Xehanort and the others. Us, on the other hand, we barely made any progress."

"At least one of you gets it," Jason said as he looked at Ven, "Thanks Venny for understanding."

As Ven nodded, Aqua said "But still, since me and Riku are masters, we can help you get some proper training."

"As much as that sounds good, I am going to pass," Jason said as he patted his left shoulder, "I am good where I am. So, don't worry about it."

While they were talking among themselves, they heard engines closing in on them. When they turned, they saw the Gummi Ship called The Divinity flying close to them. The ship was blue with gold trimmings, had a triangular shape frame, was 7x bigger than the Highwind, it had light-speed engines on the rear and sides, and it had blaster enchantments on it.

Impressed with the ship, Jason said "Not bad, not bad at all."

Everyone shook their head as Lea said "Alright then, let's head inside."

"Ok, how?" Jason asked, "There is no way to go in and…"

All of a sudden, everyone's body glowed white as they are teleported inside the Gummi Ship. While looking around at the interior of the Gummi Ship, Jason looked around and said "Huh…teleportation. Didn't think of *that."

"You'll get use to it," Kairi said, "Seeing how we will be coming back and forth from the Gummi Ship to the world we land in."

Just then, Mickey, Donald and Goofy all showed up and Mickey said "Great, now that we are all here, I suggest we make a plan."

"Alright," Jason said, "What is the plan right now?"

The moment he said that, the room went quiet and everyone just looked at each other all confused. Jason noticed this and said "Wait a minute…do you guys even have a plan?"

"Well…" Donald said, "Um…"

Jason stared at them for a while and said "Let me get this straight…this whole time…you guys were off chasing Xehanort and his followers, traveled from world to world to face them…and you guys have no plan?"

"Hey, take it easy on us," Ven said, "Usually when we travel to different worlds, they would usually show up. But…"

"Since they are out of the way for a while," Aqua said, "We don't know what to do next."

Hearing their excuse, Jason sighed as he rubbed his eyes and said "Ok, let's just think here. We know the old man took a real beating, and since everyone who is connected to him will be weakened, then that would mean they would be recovering from their wounds. In other words, we have some time to kill before they are back in the game."

"Yeah, we know that," Riku said, "We went over it."

Jason glared at him in a provoked tone and said "Ok, Mr. Keyblade Master. What do you propose we do then?"

"Look, I don't know," Riku said, "This is the first time that Xehanort or anyone else won't be attacking us. Of course, we don't just want to sit around to do nothing. We have to take action."

"That's good to know," Jason said, "Which brings me to my original question: WHAT IS OUR PLAN RIGHT NOW?!"

Riku just stood there for a moment before shrugging. Jason groaned and said "Well isn't this just great. You and Aqua were supposedly the Masters here yet you don't have a plan to moving forward. Do you guys even know where their base of operation is?"

"We don't," Lea said, "I if we did, then we would have gone there and stopped them."

"Oh please," Jason said, "You guys so wouldn't have."

As everyone, except for Kairi, glared at him, he continued to say "So what now then? We just going to wonder around doing nothing while the old man recovers and comes for revenge?"

All of a sudden, Jason's Keyblade appeared in his right hand. Everyone looked at his Keyblade and Goofy said "Gawrsh, why did you have to summon your Keyblade?"

Confused, Jason looked down and saw his Keyblade in his hand and said "Wait…I didn't summon my Keyblade."

All of a sudden, his arm, along with his Keyblade started to move on their own while Jason was struggling to keep his arm down. Before anyone was about to do something, Jason's Keyblade was raised up to his shoulders and it started to glow grey. As everyone started, a beam of grey light shot out of his Keyblade and it traveled across the Gummi Ship and into the empty void of space. After a few seconds, the light died down as Jason's arm was free for him to control.

While he shook his arm for a while and put his Keyblade away, everyone was confused and Kairi asked "What was that about?"

"I don't know," Mickey said as he made his way to the cockpit, "But I am going to check it out."

As Donald and Goofy followed him, Ven looked at Jason and asked "Feeling alright?"

"Kinda," Jason said, "That felt weird. It was the first time that has happened."

"Yeah," Lea said, "But what exactly happened?"

"Hell if I know," Jason said.

Through the speakers, Mickey said "Guys! We have coordinates for a world! It will take a while to get there, so I suggest you all rest."

After Mickey spoke, everyone looked at Jason and Aqua said "A world just revealed itself right after your Keyblade went off? It can't be a coincidence."

"Yeah, I agree with you," Jason said, "I mean, why now? Why start acting this way?"

"I don't know why," Lea said, "But what I do know is that we have some time to kill before we arrive to the world. I say we rest before we arrive."

"Lea's right," Ven said, "No point in taking on a world all worn out."

"Venny and Red is right," Jason said, "Why don't we get rested up and head out, copy?"

As everyone nodded, Jason looked around and said "So…does this place have any rooms?"

Everyone then looked at each other and Riku said "Well, there should be enough room for us. I mean, we can all take our old rooms before we went our ways."

"But that leaves me out," Jason said, "Where am I going to get some rest?"

Everyone stood quiet until Kairi said "Well…I guess…you can have Sora's old room. I mean, we gave all his stuff to his family after…he…"

"Oh right," Jason said, "Y-You don't have to finish the sentence, I get the idea."

"Thank you," Kairi said, "But yeah, if you like, you can have Sora's old room."

Jason replied "Thanks, why don't you show me where it is."

Kairi nodded as she started to lead him to where the room was. After almost a minute of walking, Kairi eventually showed Jason where he will be staying at. Seeing the door, Jason opened it and saw the room was practically empty aside from a bed and a dresser. On the far right was a door leading to a bathroom.

Stepping into the room, Jason looked around and said "This place is nice."

"Glad you enjoy it," Kairi said, "You should rest here before we arrive to the next world. Is there anything you need?"

Jason smiled at her as he shook his head and replied "I'm good for now. If anything, I'll let you know."

Kairi smiled back and said "Great, I'll…um…see you later?"

"Yeah," Jason said, "See you."

Kairi nodded as she left the room and closed the door. As soon as the door closed and he heard her walk away, Jason grunted in pain as he fell to his knees. He felt immense pain throughout his body as his body was too numb to move. He lied to everyone about feeling alright, the truth was that he was in pain after his fight with Xehanort, Marluxia and Braig. How he manages to hold back the pain while acting calm Jason had no idea how me manage to pull that off. Sitting on the edge of the bed, Jason quickly looked through his Pipboy until he found what he was looking for. Seeing the item, he pressed some buttons until a Med-X appeared in his hand. Trying to relax his left arm, Jason manages to inject himself with the Med-X and allowed the contents to travel into his bloodstream. Once he took out the syringe and threw it to a trash bin that was there, he tried to stay calm as he soon felt the effects kick in. During his time in the Capital Wasteland, every time he felt pain or need to ease his suffering, he would turn to either drugs or alcohol to help him calm down and ease his pain. Once he felt the Med-X working, Jason soon laid in bed and started to drift off to sleep, waiting for his new adventure to begin.

And that is all for this chapter. Unlike the other KH story I had, this version of Jason will be a bit more broken, but not so much. Anyways, hope you enjoy this chapter. Until then, please review!
