Chapter 12: Silver Town
Noel, Ken, Banjo and Kazooie, Grace, Espio, Cream and Cheese, and Knuckles leave N. Sanity Island and return to the space area and they start looking for the next world to go to and while looking Noel finds what looks like a town.
"I think we should go there next. Hopefully, Luke might be there." Noel said.
"Ya sure ya wanna go to that world next?" Ken asked.
"I just want to see if there are any Black Xetis or Heartless here and I want to find Luke there." Noel answered.
"If you say so." Kazooie said.
"Let's go there and see." Knuckles said.
Noel points her Keyblade at the town and then unleashes another light trail and then creates another light portal and Noel follows the light trail and enters the light portal and the others do the same.
The portal appears in a town plaza and Noel, Ken, Banjo and Kazooie, Grace, Espio, Cream and Cheese, and Knuckles fly out of the light portal before it disappears and the group look around the plaza.
"What town are we in?" Noel asked.
"It's really pretty." Cream said.
"Chao chao!" Cheese said agreement.
"Eevee!" Grace said.
"We'd best have ourselves a look around. I have a feeling there will be Black Xetis and Heartless around here." Espio said.
"There should be a Keyhole here too. Let's look." Noel said.
The group start looking around the plaza looking out for Black Xetis and Heartless but there is nothing appearing and Noel finds what looks like a building and so the group decide to enter the building and they find what looks like a dark skinned man who is bald, black mustache, wearing a white shirt, red pants, brown boots, and is holding a cigar in his mouth and the man turns to see the group.
"Hey, a couple of kids and some animals." The man said.
"Don't call us kids! We have damn names, Baldy!" Ken yelled irritated.
"K-Ken..." Noel said trying to calm the tension.
"Actually a timid kid and a rude and vulgar brat." The man said.
"Why you...!" Ken growled as he starts to charge but Noel holds him back.
"I-I'm sorry about him. My name is N-Noel and that's Ken." Noel introduced herself and Ken. "These are Banjo and Kazooie, Grace, Espio, Cream and Cheese, and Knuckles." Noel introduced the others.
"I see. Name's Lars. So, tell me, Noel, you lost or something?" The man named Lars asked.
"W-Well, not really. But do you know where we are?" Noel asked.
"You're in Silver Town." Lars answered.
"Silver Town? Well, have you seen any Black Xetis or Heartless around?" Noel asked.
"No. Haven't heard of or seen anything like that." Lars answered.
"I see. Well, what about a boy named Luke?" Noel asked.
"Nope." Lars answered.
"Oh, okay..." Noel said.
"Hey, don't worry. For all you know, they could be around here in this town. Just keep looking and if you need help, ask me." Lars said.
"Okay. Thank you, Mister Lars." Noel said.
The group leave the shop and continue to explore around the town plaza until they arrive at what looks like a different section of Silver Town and as they search around they see Soldier Heartless and Zombie Black Xetis appear and they attack the group but Noel triple slashes with her Keyblade while Ken bashes with his guitar while Banjo has Kazooie triple peck while Grace tail whips while Espio slashes with his shuriken while Cream has Cheese attack while Knuckles double punches but the Soldier Heartless strike back with their claws while the Zombie Black Xetis attack with their arms but Noel casts Thunder while Ken unleashes magic music bombs while Banjo and Kazooie roll at them while Grace uses Tackle while Espio uses Leaf Swirl while Cream and Cheese spin together to attack while Knuckles digs underground and then rises and delivers an uppercut and the group defeat the Soldier Heartless and the Zombie Black Xetis.
"The Black Xetis and the Heartless are obviously here." Noel said.
"We should find that Keyhole before they do." Cream said.
"But where could that be?" Knuckles asked.
"We'll keep looking until we find it." Noel said.
"Good idea." Ken said.
The group search around the second section of Silver Town while still fighting Black Xetis and Heartless in their way and as they keep exploring around they find what looks like a door and it leads them to a different section in Silver Town and they explore around until they see what look like two people and they're two boys being attacked by Black Xetis.
"They look like they're in trouble." Cream said.
"We should give 'em a hand." Banjo said.
"You're right. Let's go help them." Noel said.
Noel, Ken, Banjo and Kazooie, Grace, Espio, Cream and Cheese, and Knuckles run to the Black Xetis fight and the Black Xetis attack the group but Noel performs a slide dash and then slashes with her Keyblade while Ken shoots magic music notes while Grace uses Bite but the Black Xetis attack with their chains but Banjo has Kazooie shoot eggs but the Black Xetis shoot black beams getting them but Cream heals the group and then throws an Omochao bomb at the Black Xetis while Espio throws four shurikens while Knuckles double punches and then delivers a spin punch but the Black Xetis keep attacking back with their chains but Noel casts Blizzard and then aerial slashes at the Black Xetis and the group defeat the Black Xetis.
"Ha! Team Keybearer, one, Black Xetis, zero!" Ken said.
"Are you two okay?" Noel asked walking to the two boys.
One of the boys has short orange hair, green eyes, wearing a red sleeveless shirt with black trims, orange jeans, and black shoes.
The second boy also has short green hair, green eyes, wearing a blue sleeveless shirt with white trims, green jeans, and white shoes.
"Yeah. We're okay. Thank you." The green haired boy said.
"I'm glad you two are okay." Noel said.
"I was gonna fight 'em off, but thanks anyway." The orange haired boy said.
"My name is Noel and these are Ken, Banjo and Kazooie, Grace, Espio, Cream and Cheese, and Knuckles." Noel introduced herself and her friends.
"Nice to meet you, Miss Noel. I'm Carl and this is my twin brother, Peter." The green haired boy named Carl introduced himself and his orange haired brother Peter.
"Hey." Peter said.
"What were you two even doin' out here while bein' attacked by the Black Xetis?" Ken asked.
"Black Xetis? That's what they were called? Peter and I were just looking for some food for us and our friends and then Peter wanted to go to this district of Silver City, even though we weren't supposed to and then that's when those Black Xetis showed up." Carl explained.
"Well, now it's not safe out here because of them." Knuckles said.
"So a few monster showed up. No big deal." Peter said.
"BIG deal! We're in a district of this town that we're not supposed to be in and Lucas'll find out about it!" Carl said.
"Long as we don't say anything." Peter said.
"Um, who is Lucas?" Noel asked.
"Oh, he's kinda our leader of the orphaned children." Carl answered.
"Orphans?" Cream asked.
"Wait a sec! You two're orphans?" Ken asked.
"Yeah. That's right." Peter answered.
"You poor guys. What made you guys orphans?" Banjo asked.
"Follow us back to our hideout. Lucas'll tell you everything about that." Carl said.
"Okay." Noel said.
"Warning, Lucas is kinda a strict leader and normally hates anyone from this town." Peter said.
"Why?" Espio asked.
"He'll explain that too." Carl said.
"So, wanna come along?" Peter asked.
"Yes. Maybe we can do something to help you." Noel said.
"Maybe." Peter said as he and Carl start moving.
The group follow Peter and Carl out of the district and go through Silver Town while fighting of Black Xetis in their way and they continue through Silver Town and they return to the plaza area and Peter and Carl lead them to a manhole.
"Why're we stoppin' at a manhole?" Ken asked.
"You'll see." Peter said as he opens the lid of the manhole and then Carl jumps in first. "C'mon. Hop in." Peter said as he jumps into the manhole.
"You gotta be kidding me." Knuckles said.
"Should we go in there?" Espio asked.
"It's gonna be filthy if we go in there." Kazooie said.
"I-I don't think anything bad will happen if we go in." Noel said.
"Whatever works for us." Ken said.
Noel jumps into the manhole and then Ken, Banjo and Kazooie, Grace, Espio, Cream and Cheese, and Knuckles follow Noel into the manhole and they are now in a sewer and they see Peter and Carl.
"Why do you guys have to be in a sewer?" Banjo asked.
"It's our way from our hideout to Silver Town and back." Peter answered.
"Don't worry. With us here to guide you, you'll be fine. We've gone through here a lot." Carl said.
"Please lead the way." Noel said.
Peter and Carl lead the group through the sewer which is like a maze but with Peter's and Carl's guidance they go through fine and later on they come across a tunnel and follow Peter and Carl into the tunnel and they go through and later on they see what looks like a hole at the end of the tunnel and Peter and Carl come out of the hole and are outside and Noel and her friends go out of the hole and are outside as well and they are now in a field area.
"C'mon. Our hideout's not too far from here. You'll be able to meet Lucas." Peter said as he and Carl go through the field.
Noel and her friends follow Peter and Carl through the field and they come across a hill and Peter and Carl climb up the hill and Noel climbs up to follow and so does the others and they continue on through until they see what looks like a big abandoned house from afar and so Peter and Carl go to the abandoned house and Noel and her friends follow and they come close to the abandoned house.
"This is it. Our hideout. It may not look like much, but it's our home after that tragic day." Peter said.
"What tragic day?" Cream asked.
"You'll know when you meet Lucas." Carl said as the two go into the abandoned house.
Noel and her friends enter the abandoned house and inside they see a living room that looks really old with some damaged furniture and broken items.
"Holy crap..." Ken said.
"This is awful." Banjo said.
"What a dump." Kazooie said.
"Is this where they really live?" Cream asked.
"L-Let's go find Peter and Carl." Noel said.
The group look around the abandoned house and they go upstairs to the upper hallway and they through until Noel sees more stairs and goes up and finds an upper door and opens it and they are now on the roof of the abandoned house and while looking around they see Peter and Carl talking to an older boy with untidy black hair, cyan eyes, wearing a white short sleeve shirt with a red X in the middle, black ripped jeans, grey sandals, a bandage on his left hand, a bandage on his right cheek, and is wearing a red bandanna around his head.
"So yeah. We got just enough food for all of us." Peter said showing the older boy a sack and reveals some food.
"Good work, you two." The older boy said and then he turns to see Noel and the others. "Huh? Who're they?" The older boy asked.
"Oh, that's Noel. She and her friends helped us when we were attacked by monsters." Carl explained.
"Yep. They found us at that no-no district and..." Peter was cut off by the older boy.
"Wht'd I say about goin' to that damn district?!" The older scolded.
"So much for not telling." Carl said.
"It slipped out." Peter said.
"Um, they're okay. We helped them go through it." Noel said.
"Is that so? Well, you did get these two numb-skulls outta danger. Thanks." The older boy said.
"Are you Lucas?" Knuckles asked.
"Yeah. I am. I'm the leader of the Unfortunate Ones. It's my turn to ask questions. Why're you here?" Lucas asked.
"Peter and Carl took us here and we'd like to find out why you're orphans and what your tragedy was. We thought we'd like to help." Noel answered.
"Hmph. Help. Sorry, but you're already too late. That tragedy already happened before you came here." Lucas said.
"What happened? Why are you orphans and why do you hate some things of Silver Town?" Noel asked.
"Because this town apparently doesn't have time for us and shuns us and treats us like we're nothin'." Lucas answered.
"What about that tragedy? Why are you orphans in the first place?" Noel asked.
"Tell ya what, if you and your friends stay for dinner, I'll tell you, but I'll you alone. That story always traumatizes the others." Lucas said.
"Well, I am kinda hungry. Whaddya say, Noel?" Ken asked.
"Okay. We'll stay for dinner and we'll wait for your story." Noel said.
"Good. You guys came all this way anyway. So, I'd figure you would like a meal." Lucas said.
"Was that why Peter and Carl were taking food from Silver Town?" Cream asked.
"Yeah. I know stealin' is wrong, but we don't have anythin' to buy. We do what's necessary to survive and live." Lucas said.
"Stealing is wrong, but I feel sorry for you and the others." Noel said.
"Don't worry about it. I'll get dinner started now that we got enough food. Peter, Carl, why don't you two introduce Noel and her friends our family?" Lucas said.
"Yes, sir." Carl said.
"Got it." Peter said.
"I'll get ya when dinner's ready." Lucas said.
"Okay." Noel said as she and the others follow Peter and Carl back inside the abandoned house.
Peter and Carl lead the group through the abandoned house and they go into a room where they find two more children.
One of the children is a little girl with short brown hair, hazel eyes, wearing white ragged dress, black shoes, and is carrying a teddy bear.
The second child is another boy with blonde hair, teal eyes, wearing a ragged hooded shirt, tan shorts, and grey shoes.
"Piper, Theodore. We have guests we'd like you to meet." Carl said.
"Huh? Who visits us?" The boy named Theodore asked.
"Oh, we brought them here. They're really nice." Peter said.
"Hello." Noel said.
"Hi. I'm Piper. This is Huggles." Piper introduced herself and her teddy bear.
"It's just a stuffed animal, Piper." Theodore said.
"You you!" Piper replied sticking her tongue out.
"Whatever. I'm Theodore. If Lucas says you're not bad, then I guess you're allowed here." Theodore said.
"I'm Noel and these are Ken, Banjo and Kazooie, Grace, Espio, Cream and Cheese, and Knuckles." Noel introduced herself and her friends.
"It's nice to meet you, Miss Noel." Piper said.
"Yeah. Good to see you, Noel. You guys orphans too?" Theodore asked.
"Not really. Like Peter said, those two brought us here." Knuckles said.
"Well, if you guys have any questions, you can ask me. Not Piper though. She's weird." Theodore said.
"Am not!" Piper yelled.
"Okay. That's enough. Dinner'll be ready soon. Get ready for it." Peter said.
"Did you two steal food again?" Theodore asked.
"Lucas told us do. Just get ready." Carl said.
The group leave the room and follow Peter and Carl through the house for a tour and as they go through the hallway they find a girl at Lucas' age and the girl has long black hair with a streak of red, teal eyes, wearing a magenta sleeveless top, lavender skirt, grey shoes, and purple bracelet around her left wrist.
"Peter, Carl, where's Lucas?" The girl asked.
"He's probably at the kitchen getting ready to cook some dinner from the food we took." Peter answered.
"Nobody from Silver Town saw you, right?" The girl asked.
"No, but we met some new friends." Carl answered showing the group.
"Are they new here?" The girl asked.
"Actually, we kinda are. We're just visiting and then we'll be one our way." Ken said.
"Really. Well, I suppose you're okay if Lucas allowed you to be here. I'm Rita." Rita introduced.
"I'm N-Noel." Noel introduced.
"Name's Ken." Ken introduced.
"I'm Banjo." Banjo introduced.
"Kazooie." Kazooie introduced.
"I am Espio." Espio introduced.
"My name is Cream and this is my Chao friend, Cheese." Cream introduced herself and Cheese.
"Knuckles the Echidna." Knuckles introduced.
"And this is Grace the Eevee." Noel introduced Grace.
"A pleasure to meet you all. Will you stay for dinner?" Rita asked.
"Actually, we did plan to stay for a while and Lucas promised to tell us about a tragedy that happened." Noel said.
"Oh...that day...I'll stay with him to tell about it." Rita said. "In the meantime, I'll give you the rest of the tour here." Rita suggested.
"That's nice." Banjo said.
"Very well." Espio said.
"Follow me. Peter and Carl, you two can go. I'll take it from here." Rita said.
"Okay." Peter said as he and Carl leave.
"Let the tour begin." Rita said.
As the tour starts a ringing is heard and it sounds like a bell ringing.
"What was that?" Noel asked.
"That's the bell in Silver Town. It usually rings whenever there's danger." Rita answered.
"Danger? On, no..!" Noel said.
"What is it?" Rita asked.
"We have to get to Silver Town." Noel said.
"Why? I'm sure what's going on is not your problem." Rita said.
"Actually, it is Noel's problem. If we don't do something about what's goin' on, then somethin' bad'll happen." Ken said.
"What will happen?" Rita asked.
"I'm sorry, but we don't time to explain. We have to hurry." Noel said.
"Can you tell Lucas that we'll be back for a minute? We'll take care of something in that town and then come back." Banjo said.
"Whatever it is, I suppose. Just be sure to come back." Rita said.
"Don't worry. We will." Noel said as she and the others leave the abandoned house.
The group start making their way out of the field to get back to Silver Town and later on they get to the outskirts of Silver Town and arrive at the entrance and are back at the town plaza where they see Black Xetis and Heartless appearing and attack but Noel defeats them.
"The Black Xetis and Heartless are here..." Noel said.
"Dammit. That means they're after that Keyhole. We gotta find it before they do." Ken said.
"But where is it?" Cream asked.
"Noel! What are you and your friends doing out here? It's not safe out here." A voice said and it's Lars.
"Lars?" Banjo asked.
"I know it's not safe, but we know what they are. They're Black Xetis and Heartless. We have to defeat them." Noel said.
"You sure you know what you're doing?" Lars asked.
"Trust us! We can handle 'em and Noel is with us. She knows what she's doin'!" Ken said.
"Well, better be careful." Lars said.
"Let's go and see there are more around. Obviously, they're after one thing." Noel said.
"Indeed. Let's not delay." Espio said.
Before the group could move Noel looks up and sees someone on a roof of a building.
"I think I know where he's going..." Noel said.
"Huh?" Ken asked.
"Wait, what're you talking about?" Knuckles asked.
"Just please follow me." Noel said.
"Okay. Lead on." Kazooie said.
Noel starts to follow what she saw on the roof and the others follow her and they arrive at the next district of Silver Town and they continue to follow what Noel saw but then Black Xetis and Heartless appear and attack but Noel slashes with her Keyblade while Ken bashes with his guitar while Banjo has Kazooie triple peck while Grace tail whips while Espio slashes with his shuriken while Cream has Cheese attack while Knuckles punches and they defeat the Black Xetis and the Heartless and they continue to move through the district and Noel sees the figure she saw heading to what looks like an abandoned church and then enters it.
"That figure just went in there." Noel said.
"Should we go in and see who it is?" Banjo asked.
"I think we should." Noel said as she enters the abandoned church.
"Wait, Noel. What if it's a trap?" Ken asked.
"It could be, but it's the only way to find out." Noel said.
"Okay. Let's go." Knuckles said.
The group enter the abandoned church and they look around to see that the inside is damaged and destroyed and in ruins and while looking around a shadow knife is thrown at Noel who moves.
"So, ya decided to come after me, huh?" A voice asked and the group see someone standing on a broken stained glass window. "You got some nerve survivin' that trash hole. Then you wield a Keyblade and start fighting Black Xetis and Heartless. How laughable for a crybaby." The voice said.
"Wait...that voice..." Noel said as she sees the figure jumping off the stained glass window and confronts the group and it's a boy and Noel recognizes him. "O-Odium..." Noel said.
"Well, well, Noel. This quite a shocker. I expected you to die during your little adventure and you have made some pitiful pets and worthless boyfriend." Odium said.
"Boyfriend?!" Ken asked shocked.
"Pets?!" Knuckles and Kazooie asked shocked.
"Eevee!" Grace yelled.
"Y-You shouldn't make fun of my friends..." Noel said.
"Friends?! That's what ya call 'em?! Hahahahahahahaha! Please, you're nothing more than a freak magnet! How the hell can they be your friends?! Hahahahahahaha! Pathetic!" Odium said laughing.
"He's mean..." Cream said.
"Chao..." Cheese said.
"What the hell gives ya the right to make fun of Noel, ya bastard?! No one and I mean NO ONE Makes Noel sad!" Ken yelled.
"Except you did that back at N. Sanity Island." Kazooie said.
"Shuddup, Birdbrain!" Ken yelled.
"This is just sad for you, Noel. I'm not here to chat with ya, I want this worthless world to be destroyed and I'll have that. First off. You'll die here!" Odium said as he throws shadow knives at Noel.
"No ya don't!" A voice yelled and someone deflects the shadow knives and it's Lucas and with him are Rita, Peter, Carl, Theodore, and Piper.
"What the hell?! You shouldn't be in my way, ya damn punks!" Odium yelled.
"You should back off." Lucas said taking out a baseball bat. "Or you'll suffer at the hands of the Unfortunate Ones!" Lucas said.
"Oh, how cute! You'll be feelin' some misfortune soon enough! Black Xeti, COME OUT!" Odium called and a Black Xeti appears and it looks like a giant puppet with crimson claws and is floating by black strings on its back. "Have fun, punks. This'll be your last time being here!" Odium said.
"A Black Xeti. We have to defeat it..." Noel said.
"Unfortunate Ones, let's help our new friends out!" Lucas said.
"Yes!" Rita said taking out a fan.
"Right!" Peter and Carl said taking out a red yo-yo and a blue yo-yo.
"Right with ya!" Theodore said taking out a soccer ball.
"Okay!" Piper said taking out a hula-hoop.
"You're going to help us?" Noel asked.
"No friend gets left behind." Lucas said.
"How cute. You wanting to fight. Okay, kill 'em all!" Odium said as the puppet Black Xeti attacks.

"Dammit. How is it that a crybaby like you can defeat a Black Xeti?" Odium asked.
"I'm weak like you think I am." Noel said.
"You? Not weak? Don't make me laugh. You'll die during this adventure. I'll enjoy watching that happen." Odium said as he turns to the stained glass window and it's revealing a Keyhole. "Good. Now to unlock it." Odium said.
"No!" Noel said as she quickly runs to the Keyhole.
"No!" Odium said as he tries to unleash shadows at Noel but Lucas strikes with his baseball bat allowing Noel to get to the Keyhole.
Noel uses her Keyblade to seal the Keyhole and saves Silver Town from destruction.
"I did it..." Noel said.
"You little maggot. I'll make sure you'll regret that." Odium said as he disappears in darkness.
"You did it, Noel!" Banjo said.
"She did what?" Rita asked.
"Oh, she sealed the Keyhole. That means no Black Xetis or Heartless will be around to bother anyone or anything." Cream answered.
"I see. So this town can be safe." Lucas said.
The group and the Unfortunate Ones leave the abandoned church and move through Silver Town.
"That was a cool battle! Let's have our dinner to celebrate!" Peter said.
"You guys should join us too." Piper said.
"We'd love to." Noel said.
"We did promise that." Knuckles said.
"Okay then. Let's go back to your hideout." Noel said.
The group and the Unfortunate Ones move through Silver Town and they arrive at the plaza area and head for the manhole and they go into the manhole and back into the sewer and later on they leave the hole exit and return to the field and make their way back to the Unfortunate Ones' hideout and they enter the abandoned house.
"Um, thank you for helping us back there. I didn't think you could fight." Noel said.
"We've been living on our own. We gotta learn to fend for ourselves." Lucas said.
"That and you're friends of ours and we like to help people." Piper said.
"I'll get dinner started. Rita, help me out. You guys can do what you want around here. Our home is yours." Lucas said.
"Thank you." Noel said.
While Lucas starts to make dinner the group explore around the hideout and they see Peter and Carl having a yo-yo contest, Theodore playing with his soccer ball by bouncing it on his head and Piper having a tea party with her teddy bear Huggles and after exploring the house they return to the living room.
"I never thought like this. Although neither of them have a family and are on their own, they have each other and that's enough for them." Noel said.
"Yeah. They treat each other like a family and try to be happy, even though no one is caring for them." Cream said.
"That must be nice. Ya think that applies to us too?" Ken asked.
"Well, we are together and so far, the adventure is not turning out bad. We help people and save worlds." Banjo said.
"Hey, dinner's ready if you wanna eat." Lucas said.
"Thanks. We'll be on our way." Noel said and Lucas nods.
The group joins the Unfortunate Ones for dinner and they are having chicken and salad and everyone eats their dinner and are enjoying it and Noel sees the Unfortunate Ones enjoying a meal and still being happy with each other and later on dinner is over and Peter, Carl, Theodore, and Piper leave while Lucas and Rite stay and the group also stay.
"So, ya wanna know what happened? Why we have to live here?" Lucas asked.
"Yes. You said it was too late for us to do something, but what happened?" Noel asked.
"Well, we've been orphans our whole lives. We had no idea about our parents or what happened to them. Rita, Peter, Carl, Theodore, Piper, and I were sent to an orphanage, where we were in the care of Reina. She was a very kind woman. She's been taking care of us, feeding us, teaching us how write, read, cook, and talk, and protects us from whatever could cause us harm. We were very happy to be under her care, until one night...I heard a noise and I saw someone invading the orphanage and it was a sinister looking man and he was attacking Reina with what looks like a sword shaped like a key and it's almost like yours, Noel, but different. I did everything I could to try and stop that man from harming Rein, but I was too weak and the man knocked me aside and later on, he delivers a killing blow on Reina and now...she's gone..." Lucas explained as he turns his head away and Noel looks at Lucas having tears in his eyes.
"After the man killed Reina, he unleashes a dark fire all around the orphanage and I managed to get Peter, Carl, Theodore, and Piper out of the orphanage and I had Lucas escape before the orphanage began to burn to the ground and the entire orphanage was destroyed. After the incident, everyone assumed that we caused the fire and hated us for it. We decided that staying away from Silver Town was the best thing for us and we had to get out and then found this abandoned house and decided to stay here as a family. We called ourselves the Unfortunate Ones because of our loss of our beloved caretaker, our home, and no one understands what we've been through." Rita explained.
"That's terrible." Noel said.
"So that's why. You guys were orphans to begin with, but you had someone to take care of you, but then someone came and took that all away." Espio said.
"Wow. Talk about awful." Kazooie said.
"I'm sorry that happened." Cream said.
"Chao." Cheese said in agreement.
"Eevee." Grace said in agreement.
"Well, even though you have lost someone that cared about you, you should know that you guys still have each other. I've been looking around here and I saw how happy Peter, Carl, Theodore, and Piper are. You all even worked together when you helped us fight that Black Xeti. If you ask me, I'd say you guys should be lucky to have each other as a family." Noel said.
"You...you're right, Noel. We're all still here and we still care for each other. I'm sure Reina would be happy to know that we're still taking care of each other. I guess we're fortunate after all." Lucas said.
"Yeah. Maybe you guys should call yourselves the Fortunate Ones instead." Ken said.
"And maybe if you help Silver City with what problems it has, I'm sure people will truly understand what you all have been through and that you're not bad people." Cream said.
"If you say we should, then I guess we'll give that a chance." Lucas said.
"That's good." Noel said.
Later on Noel, Ken, Banjo and Kazooie, Grace, Espio, Cream and Cheese, and Knuckles are outside of the Fortunate Ones' hideout talking to them.
"Well, thanks for the dinner. It was nice to meet you all, but now we have to go." Noel said.
"Where're you gonna go?" Theodore asked.
"I have to find my brother. I've been separated from him." Noel said.
"I see. Well, I hope you find him." Lucas said.
"You people are welcomed here always." Rita said.
"Yeah. You guys are cool and I hope we see ya again." Peter said.
"Take care of yourselves." Carl said.
"Please be careful." Piper said.
"See ya guys whenever." Theodore said.
"Bye, everyone. I hope you and Silver Town are right with each other." Noel said.
The group start to leave the Fortunate Ones who wave goodbye and the group move through the field but as they start to leave Noel sees someone from afar and it's a boy going through the field.
"Who is he...?" Noel asked.
"What's up, Noel?" Ken asked.
"I think there's someone going through the field and I'm not sure who it is, but I think he's going to Silver Town." Noel said.
"You think so?" Kazooie asked.
"I think so." Noel answered.
"Okay. Let's follow him." Knuckles said.
The group start to follow the boy through the field and later on they return to the Silver Town plaza and the group start to look around for the boy.
"Where is he?" Banjo asked.
"I don't know." Noel said.
"You have the nerve to follow me." A voice said and the group turn to see the boy they're following and it's a boy with pale skin, semi-long black hair, crimson eyes, wearing a black hooded shirt with grey long sleeves, black pants with a crimson chain hanging from the right side of his pants, and a black necklace with a crystal skull around his neck.
"H-He...looks like Odium..." Noel said.
"What do you idiots want?" The boy asked.
"Um, wh-who are you?" Noel asked.
"My name is not your concern." The boy said.
"What're you doing here?" Ken asked.
"I was looking for something I need. Nothing more." The boy said.
"What?" Noel asked.
"That's not your concern. You look like you're gonna know too much. Therefore, I'll make you stay out of my way." The boy said as he takes out a weapon and it looks like a Keyblade that a crimson crooked edge with a black demon wing for teeth, black hilt, dark grey handle, demonic horns on the top of the edge, black skulls on the edge, and a crimson and black chain with a black skull at the end in his right hand.
"A-A K-Keyblade...?" Noel asked and knowing she has to fight she takes out her Keyblade.
"You? Fight me? How pathetic. You won't defeat me." The boy said.
"We can try!" Ken yelled but Noel holds her arm in front of him.
"Don't, Ken. I want to do this on my own..." Noel said.
"What?" Ken asked.
"P-Please, let me do this." Noel said.
"Fight me? Alone? Please, you'll die here in a second." The boy said.
Noel charges at the boy and tries to attack with her Keyblade but the boy sinks into the ground and then unleashes a shadow fist and then punches Noel but Noel recovers from the boy's attack and casts Fire and then Blizzard but the boy dodges the magic spells and then triple slashes at Noel with his Keyblade but Noel blocks and tries to perform a spin slash with her Keyblade but the boy counters and triple slashes again with his Keyblade and then slashes with a shadow blade but Noel tries to deliver an edge slash but the boy grabs Noel's Keyblade and then delivers a shadow kick at Noel's back knocking her back but Noel performs a dash slash and then tries to perform another edge slash but the boy counters by delivering horizontal slashes with his Keyblade and then unleashes shadow drills from the ground to get Noel who moves and casts Thunder but the boy disappears in dark mist and then unleashes a dark version of Fire at Noel who tries to dodge but the dark Fire gets her.
"AAAAAAAAHHHHH!" Noel screamed as he gets burned by the dark Fire.
"Too weak. You don't have what it takes to fight with the Keyblade. It's just as I thought." The boy said.
"N-No...I can still fight..." Noel said.
"You are a pest. You'll die." The boy said.
The boy delivers a slide punch and then delivers an uppercut and sends Noel into the air and the boy jumps after Noel and starts aerial slashing with his Keyblade and then delivers a slam slash and sends Noel to the ground but Noel recovers and triple slashes with her Keyblade and then delivers a swing slash but the boy counters and then delivers vertical slashes with his Keyblade and then unleashes a shadow fist to deliver a punch at Noel who recovers and then slashes with her Keyblade and then casts Blizzard but the boy casts another dark Fire to get rid of the ice shards and then dark Fire goes at Noel again but she dodges and tries to perform a dash slash and tries to spin slash with her Keyblade but the boy counters again and delivers brutal punches followed by horizontal slashes with his Keyblade and then creates shadow knives on his fingers and throws them at Noel who deflects them but the boy unleashes shadow tentacles to grab Noel who slashes at the shadow tentacles and then slashes with her Keyblade but the boy slam slashes with his Keyblade and then delivers an upper slash and then casts a dark version of Thunder at Noel.
"Do you give up now? Just face it; you're weak and worthless. You don't even know to fight with the Keyblade. Just give up and die." The boy said.
"I'm not dying here..." Noel said.
"You will soon when I'm through with you, trash." The boy said.
Noel casts Fire at the boy but the boy creates a shadow barrier to protect himself from the magic attack and then casts a dark version of Blizzard but Noel dodges and tries to slash with her Keyblade but the boy counters and delivers diagonal slashes with his Keyblade and then delivers two punches and then delivers an extreme roundhouse kick and sends Noel back but Noel keeps slashing with her Keyblade and then delivers a spin slash but the boy unleashes a shadow fist from the ground and it delivers a punch at Noel but she dodges and casts Thunder but the boy double horizontal slashes with his Keyblade and then delivers a double aerial kick at Noel but Noel recovers herself and triple slashes again with her Keyblade and then delivers triple brutal punches followed by a brutal straight kick and knocks Noel back but Noel recovers herself and slashes with her Keyblade followed by casting Fire but the boy delivers a somersault slash with his Keyblade and then delivers a brutal somersault kick and knocks Noel back but Noel triple slashes with her Keyblade followed by a swing slash but the boy disappears.
"Where did he go?" Noel asked but then something grabs her neck.
"Over here, weakling." A voice whispered in Noel's ear and it's the boy.
Before Noel could do anything the boy sends a devastating strike from his Keyblade and sends Noel back.
"Noel!" Ken yelled.
"Just as I keep thinking. You really are weak. You're nothing but trash. Why that Keyblade chose you is beyond me. You're nothing." The boy said walking over to the severely injured Noel and then grabs her hair. "I could kill you in an instant, but I'm not wasting anymore time on a weakling like you. I have better things to do. I'll let you off the hook. If I ever see you again, I won't hesitate to kill you. Your friends will also die as well." The boy said as he releases Noel and then disappears in darkness.
"Miss Noel!" Cream said running to her and then uses a healing potion on Noel.
"Are you okay?" Banjo asked as Grace nudges at Noel.
"I-I'm fine...wh-who was that?" Noel asked.
"Some jerk who tried to kill you. I dunno who he think he is, but I hope we don't encounter him again." Knuckles said.
"We'd best get out of here. We sealed the Keyhole and saved this world from the Black Xetis and the Heartless. We also helped an orphaned gang with their troubles. I'd say that's enough around here." Espio said.
"You're right. We have to keep going." Noel said as she stands up and then uses her Keyblade to create a light portal. "Let's go." Noel said and the group go into the light portal and leave Silver Town.
Another long chapter. I can't believe this happened. Oh, well. I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. There will be more. I promise. I don't think I have anything else to say.
