Chapter 22: Escaping from Clover Forest
Somewhere in the different part of the forest which is the lake area Noel and Grace search around for the others.
"Ky? Sora? Where are you?" Noel asked but no response.
"Eevee!" Grace called but no response.
"This is bad. We've been sent really far and have lost each other." Noel said taking out her Gummiphone and thinks about calling them. "No, I'm sure we'll find them. They're somewhere in the forest too." Noel said.
(Clover Forest-Lake)
(Information: Find the others!)
Noel and Grace begin moving to try and find the others but Black Xetis and Heartless appear and attack but they defeat the Black Xetis and Heartless and continue on but as they keep moving through the lake they see something emerging from the lake.
"Huh?" Noel asked taking out Radiant Salvation and coming out is what looks like a figure covered in plants. "Get away!" Noel yelled casting Aero at the figure blowing plants away revealing to be Ken. "Oh, Ken! You're okay." Noel said.
"Yeah, I'm just freakin' peachy. Bein' sent off to this damn forest and into the damn lake, where I had to hold my breath for a good minute was a great experience." Ken said.
"Well, you're fine and I found you." Noel said.
"Yeah, I guess. C'mon, let's get back to that town and beat the crap outta those assholes." Ken said.
"We need to find the others first." Noel said.
"Oh, right..." Ken said.
Noel, Ken, and Grace keep moving through the forest and they later arrive at the next part of the forest.
(Clover Forest-Flower Glade)
Noel, Ken, and Grace arrive at a glade of flowers to continue searching for the others and while looking around they find four figures in the glade and they're Max, Lucas, Kiyo and Zatch.
"There they are!" Noel said.
"'Bout freakin' time." Ken said running for them.
"Oh, they're here!" Lucas said.
"Great! Did you find the others yet?" Max asked.
"No, you're the ones we've found." Noel said.
"This forest is really big to look around. We need to find them and get back to the town." Kiyo said.
"No, duh, bookworm." Ken said but Kiyo bashes Ken's head with his spellbook.
"But this place is like a big maze. Will we ever find each other?" Zatch asked.
"We will find them. Let's not give up." Noel said.
"You're right, Noel! We'll find 'em and we'll be together again." Lucas said and unknowing to them Zor watches them from a tree branch.
"As much as I find their positive attitude disgusting, they'll still find each other. Better make sure they don't get back." Zor said.
Meanwhile in a wooded area of the forest Sora is lying the ground but then gets up.
"Owww... My head..." Sora said rubbing his head and then looks around. "We're separated AGAIN? AND we're not in the town? This is not good. They're still there causing trouble." Sora said looking around. "GUYS! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Sora called but no response. "Ugh, I guess I have to find them." Sora said starting to move through the wooded area but then he hears screaming. "Huh?" Sora asked ad looks up to see Donald with his scarf stuck on a tree branch. "Donald?" Sora asked.
"Sora, get me down from here!" Donald said swinging back and forth.
"Okay, okay. Just hang on." Sora said.
"Very funny!" Donald said.
Sora uses Flowmotion to run up the tree and climbs up and reaches the branch and then cuts the branch with his Keyblade sending the duck on the ground.
"Did you have to do THAT?" Donald asked.
"Yeah, you're welcome." Sora said climbing down. "Where's Goofy?" Sora asked.
"I thought you saw him." Donald said.
Just then someone falls off a tree and lands on the ground and it's Goofy.
"Goofy!" Sora and Donald said.
"Hey, fellas! That was some flyin', huh?" Goofy asked.
"Hey, did you happen to know what happened to Ky, Noel, and the rest?" Sora asked.
"Nope. I thought ya saw 'em." Goofy said.
"Now we have to find EVERYONE and get back to the town. It's still under attack." Donald said.
"Yeah, I know." Sora said.
"Well, we'd better skedaddle!" Goofy said.
(Clover Forest-Woods)
Sora, Donald, and Goofy start moving through the woods to find the others while fighting off Black Xetis and Heartless in their way and they later come across what looks like a cave and decide to go in.
(Clover Forest-Cave)
"Ugh, it's so dark in here." Donald said lighting his staff with Fire magic lighting the way.
"C'mon, we gotta keep going if we're find everyone else." Sora said.
The trio move through the cave while dealing with Spider Black Xetis and they come across rock steps and move through to get to the next side of the cave as well as using spider webs to reach higher parts of the cave but then more Spider Black Xetis appear and attack with their webs but Sora slashes with Kingdom Key while Donald casts Blizzard followed by casting Earth while Goofy uses Goofy Charge and they defeat the Spider Black Xetis and continue on through the cave and they later find a hole at the end with light and so they make their way for the light hole and reach the end of the cave taking them to the next part of the forest.
(Clover Forest-Maze of Trees)
Sora, Donald, and Goofy are now in a path of many trees but many block the way.
"This is gonna be challenging." Sora said.
"Where're Tails and Bentley when you need 'em?" Goofy asked.
"Aw, we can get through!" Donald said.
"Yeah, no prob!" Sora said.
The trio start moving through the path of trees and try to find an opening to get through but they keep finding dead ends of trees but keep finding a way out while finding more open pathways to get through but then Wyvern Heartless appear and attack but the trio defeat them and keep moving through the maze of trees and still finding an exit and while they find open pathways they still find dead ends but keep finding more open paths to get out but as they keep moving they find someone moving and it's T.J. who is also trying to find a way out.
"Teej!" Sora said.
"Sora, Donald, Goofy! I found ya!" T.J. said.
"When'd you get here?" Goofy asked.
"I was sent flying here and I've been lost ever since." T.J. said.
"Well, we're tryin' to find a way out. Let's get outta here together, then find the others." Sora said.
"Sounds good to me!" T.J. said.
The four continue to move through the maze of trees while still dealing with Black Xetis and Heartless and they keep finding open paths to lead which way out and later they find another open path and they find open trees leading to the exit and they get out of the maze of trees.
"Finally! I thought we'd NEVER get out." Sora said.
"Least now we can get out of this forest and make our way back to the town." T.J. said as they keep moving.
(Clover Forest-Springs)
Ky, Elena, Storm, Lucky, Asta, Noelle, Magna, and Luck start moving through the springs area of the forest.
"I hope the others are okay." Ky said.
"I'm sure they are. They can take care of themselves, but I am worried too." Elena said.
"Don't worry! I'll be here and help look!" Asta said.
"Just don't be stupid for once, Asta." Noelle said.
"Ky, do you have friends worth fighting?" Luck asked.
"I told you to STOP ASKING!" Elena yelled.
The group keep going through the springs but then Werewolf Black Xetis and Wyvern Heartless appear and attack but Ky slashes with Dawn of Hope while Elena casts Thunder followed by casting Water while Storm uses Iron Tail while Lucky uses Egg Roll while Asta delivers a huge spin slash with his sword while Noelle uses her grimoire and wand to control her water magic and strikes while Magna uses his grimoire to use fire magic and send a barrage of fireballs while Luck uses his grimoire and uses lightning magic sends out bolts of lightning and they defeat the Black Xetis and Heartless and continue to move through the springs and they later arrive at the next part of the forest.
(Clover Forest-Blind Fog)
Ky, Elena, Storm, Lucky, Asta, Noelle, Magna, and Luck arrive at an area covered in fog.
"Okay, this fog's thick and I can't see a thing." Magna said.
"I'll handle it." Elena said casting Aero yo get rid of the fog but the fog comes back.
"Nice work." Noelle said but Elena whacks her with her staff.
"AT LEAST I'M DOING SOMETHING!" Elena shouted.
"Elena, calm down." Ky said.
"Sorry, but Bitch Princess is pissing me off." Elena said.
"Excuse you! I am royalty. Show me respect!" Noelle said.
"You don't deserve it if you keep acting like a bitch." Elena said.
"When we get out, I wanna fight both Ky and Elena now." Luck said.
"Shut up!" Elena yelled.
"Guess our only option is try and get through and hope for the best." Ky said.
"Yeah, but what if we hit something or run into those Black Xetis and Heartless again?" Asta asked.
"We do what we do." Ky said.
"I like that! YOU STOP ME, FOG! Nothing's gonna stop me from being the Wizard King!" Asta yelled.
"Save your usual hyper attitude AFTER we get out." Magna said.
"YES, SIR!" Asta yelled saluting.
Ky's group starts moving through the fog while trying to see where they're good but because the fog is thick there is nothing to search through but as they keep going they run into what looks like a tree branch blocking the way and so they have to keep going through the fog to try and find a way out but then they run into a Wizard Heartless who tries to attack with a fire spell but Asta deflects it and Ky and Asta work together with Ky casting light beams on Asta who uses his sword to deflect it at the Wizard Heartless destroying it and they keep going through the fog and are still lost and stuck but then as they keep going Storm finds two tails in the fog and so Ky runs for the two tails and finds Tails.
"Tails, we found you!" Ky said.
"Ky! Thank goodness. I've been stuck in this fog for a good minute. Not even my techno map would show a way out." Tails said.
"Well, you're safe and that's what matters." Elena said.
"Okay, so we found one of your friends. This is gonna be a long search." Magna said.
"Not like we did this before." Ky said.
Ky's group continue to move through the fog while still getting lost but are still finding a way out but they run into tree branches, Black Xetis, Heartless, and dead ends but they keep going and later they see what looks like flames attacking in the fog and so Ky runs over for the flames and finds Blaze.
"Hey, Blaze." Ky said.
"Ky! Good, I thought you were another Black Xeti or Heartless. Did you find the others yet?" Blaze asked.
"Not yet, but we're still working on it. Have you found a way out?" Ky asked.
"Unfortunately, no. Being stuck in this fog is rather bothersome." Blaze said.
"We'll find a way out. Maybe you can use your flames to help guide the way." Ky said.
"I can try." Blaze said using her flames.
"Hey, hey! You can use fire too? Cool!" Magna said.
"And using your flames did not occur to you?" Blaze asked.
"Oh, gimme a break. Just thought of it." Magna said.
Ky's group keeps going through the fog and are still lost while still dealing with Black Xetis and Heartless in their way and while still dealing with the blinding fog they see a Defender Heartless flying at them and then disappears.
"Whoa!" Luck said.
"Now what?" Noelle asked and coming out is Shadow.
"Shadow!" Ky said.
"Hmph, finally, someone I guess am happy to see." Shadow said.
"Did you find a way out?" Tails asked.
"Does it look like I have?" Shadow asked back.
"Hey, did you take that Heartless down? If so you gotta fight me!" Luck said.
"Shut up! One hyperactive moron is enough for me." Shadow said but Luck sends a bolt of lightning at Shadow who disappears and reappears behind Luck and delivers a chop on Luck's head knocking him out.
"Man, you're brutal! You didn't kill him, did ya?" Magna asked.
"No. I just shut him up for a while." Shadow said.
"He's Yuno AND Captain Yami mixed together..." Asta said.
"Well, at least I have to endure his annoying talks about fights. Let's go." Elena said taking the unconscious Luck and carries him over her shoulder.
Ky's group continues to find a way out of the blinding fog while still find dead ends and still fighting off Black Xetis and Heartless and later while still exploring through the fog the group manage to find a way out and reach the exit.
"About damn time." Ky said.
"You said it." Magna said.
"Finally, now we can get out of this forest and find the rest." Tails said.
"Think your techno map might help?" Elena asked.
"His what map?" Asta asked scratching his head in confusion.
"Uh, think of it as a magical map, but more..." Tails comes up with a good word.
"It's like a magical compass that can help find stuff and people." Ky said putting his hands behind his head.
"Oh!" Asta said.
"And he made something like that? How come no one does?" Magna asked.
"Never mind that now. I will use my...magic compass to find our friends." Tails said as they keep going.
Unknowing to them Zavok watches them.
"So, they escaped my trap. No matter. They will fall either way." Zavok said.
"And time is still running out, as we're about to be done with this wretched kingdom." Zik said.
"Has the black box been found?" Zavok asked.
"Regrettably, no, but that foolish boy with his wind magic is proving to be a problem. Our best bet would be to withdraw." Zik said.
"I see. Allow me to deal with these fools, then we'll rendezvous with the others." Zavok said.
"You are strong, to be sure, Zavok, but together, they are no match." Zik said.
"Yes, indeed. They may have defeated the Horned King, Nightmare, and Maleficent, but they have yet to match OUR power." Zavok said.
Meanwhile in the kingdom town as it's still under siege many magic knights have fallen and their souls have been taken by Nightmare.
"Your meager souls do not satisfy my hunger!" Nightmare said and just then Porky and Eggman arrive. "You better have something." Nightmare said.
"Our search didn't turn out good." Porky said.
"We've searched everywhere, destroyed any magic knight standing against us." Eggman said.
"As I have figured. The box is nowhere in this world." Nightmare said.
Just then a dark corridor appears revealing to be Faust.
"Still having your vain search for that box?" Faust asked.
"Begone, False Count!" Nightmare said.
"Have you forgotten that if you steep further into the darkness, you will be consumed again?" Faust asked.
"What an interesting thing to say." A voice said and it's Horned King and Maleficent.
"Our search has nothing to do with you, Pseudo-Count." Maleficent said.
"Hmph. Very well. Do enjoy your hunt." Faust said disappearing in his dark corridor.
"If the box isn't here, what now?" Porky asked.
"What do you think, moron? We leave." Bowser Jr. said and the Koopalings arrive.
"The sooner, the better. Some guy with a book summoned really powerful wind to hurt us badly." Lemmy said.
"Zavok, Zor, and Zik are currently dealing with the fools. We wait at the fortress, then depart." The Horned King said as they disappear in darkness.
Meanwhile at the flower glade of the forest Noel, Ken, Grace, Lucas, Max, Kiyo and Zatch continue to move to search for their friends and they later go for the next area of the forest.
(Clover Forest-Lost Bog)
Noel's group arrive at a dark bog full of dead trees and dark green water.
"This place is dark and kinda of creepy." Lucas said.
"Do we have to cross HERE?" Ken asked.
"It's our only option at this point." Noel said.
"Just as long as we get out faster." Max said.
"In a place like this, who know what we'll find." Kiyo said.
Noel's group continue to move through the bog while fighting off Fluttering Heartless and Wyvern Heartless and they come across vines and so Noel grinds along them taking them to the other part of the bog but then Water Core Heartless appear and unleash water to attack but Noel casts Blizzard while Ken casts Fire while Grace uses Growl while Lucas uses PK Thunder while Max uses Shield Boomerang while Kiyo has Zatch use Zaker and they defeat the Water Core Heartless and they keep going through the bog while passing through deep water and so Noel uses air step to reach tree branches and go through to reach the other side of the bog and later arrive at an area full of vines.
"This is CRAP! I hate this place! Can we get out sooner?" Ken asked.
"Oh, yeah. Let's ask the vines for directions." Kiyo said sarcastically.
Just then Defender Heartless appear and surround the group but before the Defenders could attack someone attacks one of them from behind and slams the Defender into the ground while darts come flying and strike at more Defenders destroying them while someone picks up the last Defender and slams it to the ground.
"Well, look who found us. I was beginning to wonder who would." A voice said revealing to be Sly.
"Sly." Noel said.
"But where are...?" Zatch stops talking as Bentley and Murray arrive as well.
"To tell the truth, if I wanted to be lifted up and tossed into the bog, I would have asked for it." Bentley said.
"Did you find anyone else?" Max asked.
"No, we only found you guys." Murray said.
"And I'd say we should get out before things get worse." Sly said.
"I love to burst your bubble, but it's already worse." A voice said and they see someone emerging from the shadows and it's Zor.
"Great, it's everyone's favorite emo." Ken said.
"If you're here to stop us, Zor, you have another thing coming." Lucas said.
"If only you'd just quit already, but no. You have to be the heroes. It makes me sick. Maybe hurting you will put a smile on my face, but that'll hurt me." Zor said.
"Okay, ya whiny bitch. I'll give ya somethin' that'll HURT!" Ken said.
"Last warning, Zor. Please go away." Noel said.
"Nah, we're gonna have to fight." Zor said.
(Boss Theme: Squirming Evil)
(Information: Defeat Zor!)
Zor summons two shadow versions of himself and they unleash purple energy shots at them but Noel casts Reflect to make the energy shots go right back at the shadows and Zor himself but Zor sinks into the shadows and reappears and sends out scattering purple energy but Ken casts Thunder followed by casting Magma while Kiyo has Zatch use Zakeruga but Zor summons four more shadow versions of himself and they surround the group and fire many purple energy shots but Lucas uses PSI magnet to create to a psychic shield to absorb the energy and then uses PK Flash while Max uses Shield Missile while Grace uses Tackle but Zor hides in the shadows as purple energy is coming from the shadows getting the group but they dodge and they try to find Zor as more purple energy is firing at them but Bentley uses his RC Chopper to find Zor and it fires a missile getting someone revealing to be Zor who tries to attack but Murray picks him up and then throws him to Sly who delivers a slamming attack with his cane but Zor retaliates with jumping from vine to vine and then sends out scattering purple energy shots at the group but Max blocks with his shield and then throws it at Zor sending him off the vines allowing Lucas to use PK Thunder while Bentley shoots electric darts but Zor summons a shadow of himself to send it to attack but Kiyo has Zatch fire multiple lightning bolts at both the shadow and Zor while Ken unleashes magic music waves while Sly uses Cane Spin but Zor sinks into shadows again and hides in the bog somewhere but Grace manages to find him and uses Bite while Murray uses Turbo Charge but Zor summons more shadows and they surround the group and send out purple shots but Noel defeats the shadows and then triple slashes Zor with Radiant Salvation followed by Fire Edge and they finish off Zor who falls on the ground.
"Had enough, emo bitch?!" Ken asked.
"Hmph, only the Reaper wins in the end. I'm going." Zor said as he leaves.
"Should we go after him?" Lucas asked.
"We should, but we need to find the others first." Noel said.
"Then, let's leave this place and get out." Sly said.
Noel finds more vines and grinds along them to get to the next part of the bog and later they find what looks like a light at the end.
"Please tell me we're nearing the end of this place." Max said.
"Only one way to find out." Kiyo said as they reach for the light and leave the bog.
(Clover Forest-Maze of Flora)
Meanwhile Ky's group arrive at a different part of the forest but run into flora blocking the way.
"Let me guess, another maze to get lost in?" Elena asked.
"You might as well call it the Forest Maze." Tails said making Magna and Asta laugh.
"It SHOULD be called that!" Asta said.
"If we don't get through, we'll never find the others." Ky said.
"He's right." Shadow said.
"Fine, more maze fun." Noelle said.
The group start moving through the flora maze but as they move more flora blocks the path and so they have to find an alternate route through the maze but then Warlock Black Xetis and Wizard Heartless appear and attack but Ky's group defeat them and keep going through the maze but deal with more flora blocking the path until there is nowhere to go and so Ky and Asta work together with Asta using his sword to cut the flora while Ky uses Plant Magic and get rid of the flora and find an opening pathway and keep going passing the flora maze and they later reach the end of the maze.
"About time. That didn't take as long as that stupid fog." Ky said.
"You said it." Tails said.
"Now, let's hurry and..." Blaze was cut off as two figures arrive blocking the path and they're Zavok and Zik.
"You won't be going anywhere." Zavok said.
"Zavok and Zik!" Elena said.
"Get the hell outta the way!" Ky yelled.
"You have done well this far, but this is where you perish." Zik said.
"Oh, cool! Finally, something worth fighting!" Luck said.
"Yeah, right! We're not losing to YOU!" Asta yelled.
"You're not our concern, fool!" Zavok said as he creates a red barrier surrounding himself, Zik, Ky, Elena, Storm, Lucky, Tails, Blaze, and Shadow.
"Hey!" Asta yelled.
"S'okay, Asta! We'll send these two losers packing in no time." Ky said.
"Your overconfidence will be your undoing, boy!" Zavok said.
"It's not overconfidence! We kicked your stupid asses before and we'll do it again!" Elena said.
"The results never change." Shadow said.
"Prove us wrong, if you can." Zik said.
(Boss Theme: Vim and Vigor)
(Information: Defeat Zavok and Zik!)
Zavok attacks the group with three punches followed by charging with his horns while Zik surrounds himself with blue energy orbs and surges at the group but Ky delivers four slashes at Zavok with Dawn of Hope followed by a somersault slash while Elena uses Barrier Surge while Blaze uses Fire Tornado to counter Zik's surge attack and they manage to push Zik back but Zik fires many blue energy shots at Elena but Tails throws ring bombs while Storm uses Volt Tackle but Zavok fires two giant red energy shots but Shadow multi punches followed by a fiery kick with his hover shoes while Lucky uses Headbutt but Zavok retaliates with slamming his fists on the ground and unleashing powerful red energy while Zik summons blue energy around the group and sends them to crush but Elena creates a barrier to protect everyone and then casts Blizzard at Zik and then casts Earth at Zavok while Storm uses Iron Tail but Zavok double punches and then delivers a charge with his horns while Zik unleashes big blue energy shots but Lucky uses Egg Throw while Blaze uses Fire Drill but Zik creates a barrier of blue energy and goes to Zavok who throws the blue shield with Zik still in and he goes all over the place to try and get the group but Shadow uses Chaos Control to slow down time and then delivers a giant back punch at the barrier sending Zik back at Zavok while Tails summons Magic Hand and it delivers a big punch but Zik fires multi blue energy shots and then summons surrounding blue energy around the group while Zavok slams his fists on the ground to unleash red energy as the blue energy is about to crush but Ky casts Aero to send both Zavok and Zik into the air and Ky aerial slashes both of then and then uses Thunder Slash and they finish off both Zavok and Zik sending them down and the red barrier is gone.
"Big mistake fighting us." Ky said.
"Bah, it's still too early to kill you." Zavok said.
"It seems our time in this place is finished. Come, Zavok. Let us return to the others." Zik said.
"Very well, Master." Zavok said as they leave.
"HEY, GET BACK HERE! YOU TRASHED THE ENTIRE KINGDOM AND I'LL NEVER FORGIVE YOU!" Asta shouted.
"Asta, just shut up. If they show up again, we'll handle them." Elena said.
"You guys really did a big number on 'em." Magna said.
"NOW can I fight Ky while we're still here?" Luck asked.
"Should I knock him out again?" Shadow asked.
"Just admit that we're lost!" A voice yelled.
"Now what?" Noelle asked.
"Hold on, that voice..." Ky said.
"We're NOT lost! I...just don't know if this is the right way." Another voice said.
"Isn't that what 'lost' means?" Another voice asked.
"That's EXACTLY what it means!" The first voice said.
"Guys, calm down. Maybe this is the right way." Another voice said.
Arriving at the area are Sora, Donald, Goofy, and T.J. looking around.
"This isn't the right way! We're lost, again!" Donald said.
"Donald, stop it." Sora said.
"Gawrsh, I feel like we've been for weeks." Goofy said.
"Not really." T.J. said.
"Pika!" A voice called.
"Huh, was that...Storm?" T.J. asked.
"Beats me, we're probably hearing things." Donald said.
"But he's the only Pikachu in this world, so it's gotta be him." Goofy said.
"Yoshi!" A voice called.
"That's Lucky!" T.J. said running off.
"Teej, wait!" Sora called as he runs after him.
"C'mon." Goofy said.
"Aw, phooey..." Donald said as they run after the two.
Sora, Donald, Goofy, and T.J. later find Ky's group.
"There you guys are!" Ky said.
"Ky!" T.J. cheered running to hug Ky who hugs back.
"Good to see you're okay, Teej." Ky said.
"We've finally found you!" Sora cheered.
"Same to you." Elena said.
"Wait, where are everyone else?" Tails asked.
"We dunno. You're the only ones we've found." Donald said.
Just then Asta sees bushes moving.
"Someone's coming!" Asta said readying his sword.
"Heartless!" Sora said summoning Kingdom Key.
Coming out of the bushes is Grace.
"Eevee." Grace said.
"Grace?" Ky asked.
"But if he's here, then where's Noel?" Goofy asked.
"Hey!" A voice called and coming out are Zatch and Ken.
"'Bout freakin' time we found ya! I HATE this damn forest!" Ken yelled.
"Yeesh, and I thought Noelle was more irritable." Magna said.
"Oh, shut up!" Noelle yelled.
"No one asked you, Four-Eyes!" Ken yelled.
"WHAT'D YOU SAY, PUNK?!" Magna demanded.
"You heard me and what's up with that hair?! You look stupid!" Ken yelled.
"OH, THAT'S IT!" Magna yelled taking out his grimoire while Ken takes out his guitar.
"We just found our way back to you guys and already, Ken's being a jerk." Zatch said.
"You're surprised? By the way, where's Kiyo?" Ky asked.
"Right here." A voice said and they see Kiyo, Max, Sly, Bentley, Murray, and Lucas arriving.
"I thought we'd never find you guys again." Lucas said.
"That's what we're all thinking." Tails said.
"I'll say!" Goofy said hugging Max.
"Dad..." Max said.
"And Noel?" Ky asked and Noel arrives.
"Sorry it took so long. This forest is easy to get lost in." Noel said.
"Yeah, we know." Sora said.
"Well, looks like we're all accounted for." Bentley said.
"Now we gotta get back to the town." Ky said.
"Question, how?" Max asked.
"Not like our broomsticks are gonna do us any good." Noelle said.
"So, this is where you are." A voice said.
"Huh?" Sora asked and they look up to see three figures on what looks like a steel flying chariot and one of them is Yuno.
The second is a young man with light fuchsia eyes, light blue hair, gold hooped earrings, wearing a light-colored and dark-colored long-sleeved shirt with a high-collar, light colored pants, dark robe, glasses, and the Golden Dawn robe.
The third is a girl with yellow eyes, vermilion hair, wearing earrings, a cream colored sweater, white puffy shorts, brown corset, and the Golden Dawn robe.
"Yuno?! Where have you been?! Also, how did you get here?!" Asta asked.
"Well, let's see, we were busy protecting the kingdom from those monsters while you were stuck in the forest." Yuno said.
"I honestly did not think that the Black Bulls would do something reckless to get themselves into such a predicament, but it seems you're unharmed." The glasses man said.
"Oh, hey. Great to see you again, Four-Eyes." Asta said.
"Not another Four-Eyes." Ken said.
"My name is Klaus Lunettes! You will show some respect!" Klaus said.
"Yeah, whatever, Four-Eyes." Ken said.
"We were wondering what happened to you that we had to come and see if you're fine." The girl said.
"Well, we're fine, Mimosa. Thank you for your concern." Noelle said.
"That's great and are you okay, Asta?" Mimosa asked blushing a little.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks to them." Asta said pointing at the group.
"Ah, you must be the newcomers Yuno told me about." Klaus said.
"Yeah. Yuno told you about us?" Ky asked.
"Yes. He mentioned you're the ones, who know of these monsters and have ways of defeating them. Hence is also why we came here for your assistance, even if you don't appear to be magic knights." Klaus said.
"We're not magic knights, but at least we can handle the Black Xetis and Heartless, thank you." Sly said.
"Speaking of which, we gotta get back to the town and make sure they don't destroy it." Tails said.
"You need not worry. Those fiends and their monsters have already left, but they must still be in the kingdom somewhere. I know not of those fiends nor where they and their minions came from, but they must be apprehended at once." Klaus said.
"Then, let's do something about this." Ky said.
"Yeah, count us in!" Sora said.
"My thoughts exactly. You people clearly have more experience dealing with these abominations than us, so your help is needed. Return with us to the town, along with the Black Bulls. We are told to meet with the Wizard King himself." Klaus said.
"THE WIZARD KING?!" Asta asked excited.
"You met him already." Yuno said bluntly.
"Yeah, but STILL!" Asta shouted.
"Actually, I'd like to meet this Wizard King. He sounds very powerful." Elena said.
"I doubt he's worth jack." Ken said but Asta punches him.
"TAKE THAT BACK!" Asta shouted.
"MAKE ME, STUPID ASSHOLE!" Ken shouted back.
"Uh, anyway, we should get going before things get even more complicated." Noel said.
"Okay. Then, let's find our way back to the town." Ky said as they follow the Golden Dawn knights out of the forest.
Unknowing to them Faust watches them.
"They have been doing well throughout the forest and the data I have managed to gather from Virtus and Noel have been proven very useful. My Replicas should be finished thanks to this overflowing amount of data! I must obtain more of them! I must also ensure this kingdom falls to the brink of despair!" Faust said smiling wickedly and then disappears in his dark corridor.
Well, there's the next chapter for you guys. What did you think of it? Hope you enjoyed it and are looking forward to what happens next. First off, let me apologize for not updating recently. There are two reasons for it. One, I've had writer's block and I was trying to overcome it while still trying to think of more ideas. Two, school has started back up once more, so that means I won't be updating often at this point, but I'll try to find more time, so please be patient and please don't send me any update requests when I'm in my current state still. Thank you and I hope you found this chapter worth the wait. Hope you're looking forward to what happens next! Next time, Ky, Noel, Sora, Elena, Ken, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Grace, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Sly, Bentley, Murray, Lucas, Donald, Goofy, Asta, Yuno, and the others are still trying to defend the Clover Kingdom from the Black Xetis and Heartless, and also deal with more enemies, but Faust has another plot up his sleeve for Asta. I'll see you all in the next chapter and I hope you look forward to more stuff from this new story. Take care, and I'll see you later. Don't forget to favorite, follow, and PLEASE review! Goodbye for now.
