Hi, guys. Hope you're enjoying this story so far. Now, before I begin, I'd like you to go back to the Heroes United chapter before reading this one because I completely forgot to add something that chapter because sometimes, I'm a goddamn IDIOT! So yeah, other than that, please enjoy this chapter.
7: To answer your questions, the Lord of Darkness will not be revealed until very later in the story, I have no idea how many chapters yet, and the final boss battle will take place somewhere epic.
Chapter 27: The Werelupe King and Illusen's Charm
Ky, Elena, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Sly, Bentley, Murray, Tor, and Roberta continue to find the Werelupe graveyard and while exploring, Ky finds a crooked gate up ahead and he assumes it will lead them to the graveyard, so he goes through the gate and the others follow him and the group are now in a place with many gravestones and it's in fact the graveyard of Werelupe Woods.
(Werelupe Graveyard)
The group start looking for the crypt the Ixi witch mentioned, but as the search the graveyard, they see someone and Ky knows who it is.
"Grim Reaper...! What're you doing here?" Ky asked.
"It's nice to see you too, Keyblade master Ky. I'm only here for purposes. The real question is what are YOU and your friends doing here? You're not here to vandalize this grave, are you?" Grim Reaper asked.
"That's not why we're here." Max said.
"Just move aside, bonehead." Elena said.
"Oh, I find that hard to swallow. It seems neither of you have any respect for the dead..." Grim Reaper said, as he takes out his scythe and then cuts the ground, opening it up and skeletons start to rise from the cut opened ground.
"This is not good..." T.J. said.
"It seems they don't like intruders in their grave either. I'll let them dish you out." Grim Reaper said and disappears.
"Come back here and fight!" Zatch yelled.
"Not now, Zatch. We gotta get rid of these first." Ky said.
The skeletons attack the group with their bones, but Ky casts Thunder while Elena throws magic bombs while Max uses Shield Missile, but the skeletons throw their bones, but Tails shoots four shots from his blaster while Blaze double flame kicks while Shadow throws Chaos Spears. The skeletons attack with their bones, but Storm shoots electric shots while Kiyo has Zatch use Zaker, but the skeletons keep attacking with their bones, but Lucky uses Ground Pound while T.J. slashes with his knife. The skeletons throw their bones, but Sly attacks with his cane while Bentley throws bombs while Murray flame punches, but the skeletons spin strike with their bones, but Tor slashes with his sword while Roberta shoots magic bolts and the group defeat the skeletons.
"So much for these boneheads." Sly said.
"Let's look for that charm so we can enter the Werelupes' lair." Roberta said.
"We'll after find crypt after crypt." Ky said.
The group start going through the graveyard and arrive at a crypt to search, but as they search the first crypt, they don't see anything yet and so they leave the first crypt and continue searching the graveyard and they find another crypt and assume that the charm is in it. They don't see the charm, but skeletons appear and attack the group, who fight them off and defeat them and they keep searching the charm, but no luck and so they leave the second crypt and search the graveyard for another crypt and they find a third crypt and enter it in hopes of finding the charm there.
(Crypt of the Fallen)
The group are now in the third crypt and start searching for the charm, but as they start searching, Ky steps on a blue pad on the ground and it causes a door to open.
"Hmm. This should lead us to somewhere interesting." Ky said.
The group arrive at a room with two doors with different marks on them and they see two pads with different marks on the ground.
"Like the room we entered, I think those pads are connected to the doors." Ky said.
"Maybe. We have to figure out how open them at the same time..." Tails said.
"That should help us with that." Elena said, pointing at a stoned pillar in the middle of the ground.
"Will that work?" Tor asked.
"Let's find out." Bentley said.
Ky walks to the stoned pillar and starts pushing it to the pad with the yellow mark on it and as Ky places the stoned pillar on the pad, the door with the yellow mark opens.
"Now, let's see what we got." Ky said.
The group enter the next room and they find another pad with the same yellow mark.
"I think I know this... Ky, there's another stoned pillar here. See if you can push it to that pad." Elena said.
"Okay." Ky said.
Ky starts pushing the other stoned pillar to the other pad with the same yellow mark and the stoned pillar is now placed on the pad.
"Now what?" Murray asked.
"Not sure. Let's check." Max said.
The group leave the room and return to the big room and Ky removes the stoned pillar from the yellow marked pad, but the door remains opened.
"Now I think I get it." Ky said.
"There should be another pad." Blaze said.
Ky pushes the stoned pillar to another pad, which has a red mark and as the stoned pillar is placed, a door with a red mark opens.
"C'mon. We should check out the next room." Ky said.
The group enter the next room and go through an already opened door and arrive at a different room and while exploring the room, Storm finds a staircase and goes down, so the others follow him and they are in the lower floor and they find another pad, but has a blue mark and Ky finds another stoned pillar and places it on the stoned blue pillar.
"Now something should open." Ky said.
The group leave the room and return to the bigger room and they find another opened door and enter the next room and while looking around, they find another big room and enter it, but as they enter to look around, the door closes behind them.
"What the...?" Ky stops talking, as he turns to see a Black Xeti that looks like a giant scorpion.
"Another Back Xeti." Shadow said.
"And look! It has that Werelupe Fang Necklace we're looking for!" Kiyo said, pointing at a fanged necklace.
"Let's take it out and take that charm!" Ky said with his Keyblade in hand and everyone else prepares to fight the scorpion Black Xeti.
(Boss Theme: Shrouding Dark Cloud)
The Black Xeti known as Nightcrawler attacks with its stinger, but Ky attacks with his Keyblade followed by Spin Slash while Elena shoots magic bolts while Tails shoots lasers from his blaster, but Nightcrawler pinches with its claws, only for Tor to slash with his sword while Roberta shoots her magic, but Nightcrawler climbs up the wall of the room and is now on the ceiling and starts dropping a black laser from its stinger. Max uses Shield Boomerang to knock Nightcrawler back to the ground, allowing T.J. to multi slash with his knife while Shadow multi punches followed by a flip kick, but Nightcrawler recovers and attacks with its stinger, but Blaze attacks with her claws followed by Fire Tornado while Kiyo has Zatch use Zakeruga. Nightcrawler climbs up the wall again while firing its black laser from its stinger, only for Storm to use Quick Attack followed by his tail whip while Bentley throws electric darts and they knock Nightcrawler back down, allowing Lucky to use Ground Pound while Sly attacks with his cane while Murray uses Turbo Charge, but Nightcrawler pinches with its claws, but Ky counters with his Keyblade and uses Edge Slash.
Nightcrawler then slams its stinger and creates a black shock wave, but the group dodge the shock wave attack and Elena casts Fire while Roberta shoots more magic, but Nightcrawler fires its black laser from its stinger, only for Tails to counter with his own laser and strikes it, allowing Sly to use Cane Spin while Max uses Cyclone, but Nightcralwer climbs on the walls again and returns to the ceiling and drill attacks at the group, who dodge. Tor slashes with his sword while T.J. dash slashes with his knife while Lucky uses Egg Roll, but Nightcrawler stings with its stinger and then slams its stinger to the ground and creates another shock wave, but Storm uses Skullbash while Blaze shoots fireballs while Shadow throws Chaos Arrows while Bentley wheelchair spins. Nightcrawler pinches with its claws, but Murray uses Tornado Punch while Kiyo has Zatch use Bao Zakeruga, but Nightcralwer crawls away and then reaches the wall again to climb on it, but Ky uses Strike Raid to get it down and then Ky attacks with his Keyblade followed by Edge Slash.
Nightcrawler attacks Ky with its stinger, but Elena casts Cure on Ky and then then shoots her magic concussive blasts while Tor spin slashes with his sword, but Nightcrawler pinches with its claws, but Max bashes with his shield while Sly attacks with his cane, only for Nightcrawler to climb onto the ceiling and shoots its black laser from its stinger, but Kiyo has Zatch use Zaker to take Nightcrawler back down. Murray punches while Shadow multi punches followed by roundhouse kicks while Lucky double kicks, but Nightcrawler slams its stinger to the ground again and creates another shock wave, but Tails and Bentley throw bombs while Blaze uses Fire Drill, but Nightcrawler pinches with its claws, but Roberta shoots her magic while Storm unleashes electricity while T.J. slashes with his knife. Nightcrawler stings with its stinger and then climbs on the ceiling and shoots its black lasers again, but Ky casts Thunder to make Nightcrawler go down again and then Ky starts attacking with his Keyblade followed by Spin Slash, but Nightcrawler pinches with its claws followed by slamming its stinger, but Ky delivers his horizontal slash with his Keyblade and then delivers a final stab at Nightcrawler's head, killing it and it disappears into dark mist.
"Done with that Black Xeti." T.J. said and they see the Werelupe Fanged Necklace on the ground and Ky picks it up.
"Finally. We have what we came for. Now, let's get to the Werelupe Burrows." Ky said.
"We'll have to find it first." Blaze said.
"Don't worry. We'll find it." Roberta said.
"We should get outta here first." Max said.
The group start leave the crypt and they return outside in the graveyard and they start to leave the graveyard and return to Werelupe Woods and start looking for the Werelupe Burrows.
"Did that swamp witch say the burrows are in a giant skull?" Sly asked.
"Yeah. If we find the skull, we'll find the burrows." Ky said.
The group continue to find the skull that will lead to the Werelupe Burrows while fighting off Werelupes in their way and the search continues until they go up a hillside and from below Ky finds a skull down the hill and so the group climb down the hill and they face the skull.
"This must it." Ky said, as he takes out the Werelupe Fanged Necklace and shows it to the skull and it starts to open.
"It worked!" Elena said.
"Okay. Now to take back Illusen's charm from the Werelupe King." Tor said.
"That place will be crawling with Werelupes. We'll have to watch ourselves." Tails said and they nod.
(Werelupe Lair)
The group then enter the skull and into the burrows the group start exploring the entrance of the burrows and as they go through, they see an area full of Werelupes.
"There are Werelupes everywhere..." Zatch said.
"I don't like these odds." Max said.
"Illusen's charm has to be here somewhere." Tor aid.
"We'll have to be sneaky about this." Roberta said.
"Now you're talking." Sly said.
"We could split up. We'd cover more ground that way." Bentley suggested.
"I can look up and you can look down." Roberta said.
"I don't I like the sound of that..." Murray said.
"I think it's the only and fastest way." Kiyo said.
"In that case, Elena, Tails, Blaze, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, and Bentley, you go with Roberta. Max, Shadow, Storm, T.J., Sly, Murray, and I will go with Tor." Ky said.
"Okay. If you say so." Elena said.
"And we'll meet back here in a few minutes." Blaze said.
"Pika!" Storm said in agreement.
"You guys be careful." Tor said.
"You too." Roberta said.
"Alright, let's move." Ky said and the group start to split with Elena, Tails, Blaze, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, Bentley, and Roberta going to the upper burrows while Ky, Max, Shadow, Storm, T.J., Sly, Murray, and Tor go down.
(Werelupe Upper Lair)
Elena, Tails, Blaze, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, Bentley, and Roberta start searching the upper part of the burrows while fighting off Werelupes in their way and while still searching the upper burrows, Lucky stops and looks at something behind a bony bars.
"Yoshi!" Lucky called.
"What's wrong, Lucky?" Elena asked.
The group look at what Lucky is looking at.
"What is that?" Zatch asked and it looks like a green leafy necklace.
"I think that's Illusen's charm!" Roberta said.
"We'll have to get behind this wall to get to it." Tails said.
"Let's try going around the wall." Blaze said.
"Sounds good. Let's hurry." Kiyo said.
Elena, Tails, Blaze, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, Bentley, and Roberta continue through the upper burrows to get around the wall to get to Illusen's charm, but more Werelupes get in the way, but Elena and Roberta shoot their magic bolts while Tails and Bentley throw their bombs while Blaze attacks with her claws followed by a flame kick while Kiyo has Zatch use Zaker while Lucky uses Egg Roll and they defeat the Werelupes and continue to get to Illusen's charm and they manage to get around the wall and they manage to reach Illusen's charm and get in the platform that the charm is on.
"We got the charm!" Zatch said.
"Good. Now let's hurry and get out..." Bentley was cut off by a bony cage falling over.
"Uh oh!" Elena said and the bony cage traps them.
"Great..." Kiyo said.
"Yoshi..." Lucky said and the bony cage starts to go down.
"Not good...not good..." Tails said.
"KY!" Elena shouted.
"TOR!" Roberta shouted.
(Werelupe Lower Lair)
Meanwhile, Ky, Max, Shadow, Storm, T.J., Sly, Murray, and Tor are now down in the middle burrows and start searching.
"Man, I hate splitting up." T.J. said.
"I know, but it's the only way, T.J." Max said.
"Let's just hope that the others are okay." Tor said.
"I'm sure they'll be fine. I trust them. They can handle themselves." Ky said.
"Pika." Storm said in agreement.
"Yeah. Let's go." Shadow said.
Ky, Max, Shadow, Storm, T.J., Sly, Murray, and Tor start searching the middle burrows while going down, but Werelupes attack them, but Ky and his friends defeat the Werelupes and continue going deeper from the middle burrows and into the lower burrows. Later on, Ky and his team are now going into the lower burrows, but they confront more Werelupes, but Ky and his team take them down and keep going through the lower burrows while still dealing with more Werelupes and their trek through the lower burrows continue until they later on go more deeper and it's leading them to the lowest burrows.
(Werelupe King's Lair)
Ky, Max, Shadow, Storm, T.J., Sly, Murray, and Tor arrive at the lowest burrows and it's full of Werelupes and so they prepare themselves for a fight.
"Too many Werelupes..." T.J. said, readying his knife.
"It's like too many." Max said.
"We'll have to fight them off if we have to." Ky said.
"Well, well, well." A voice said and the group look up and see a big black furred Werelupe with red eyes, wearing torn blue pants, and a bony crown sitting on what looks like a throne. "What have we here? Looks like some fresh meat! Anyone here know what we do with meat?" The big Werelupe asked.
"Boil em!" One of the Werelupes said.
"Skewer 'em!" Another Werelupe said.
"Put 'em into an open fire!" Another Werelupe said and they howl until the big Werelupe stops them.
"You're the Werelupe King, aren't you?" Ky asked.
"Yes I am and you're with that morsel Lupe from Illusen's Glade." The Werelupe King said, pointing at Tor.
"Glad you remember." Tor said.
"KY!" A voice shouted.
"TOR!" Another voice shouted and Ky's team see the bony cage dropping into the lowest burrows and Elena, Tails, Blaze, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, Bentley, and Roberta are still trapped in the cage.
"Elena!" Ky said.
"Roberta!" Tor said.
"Oooooh! It looks like we're having FIFTEEN for dinner! Let's do a little TENDERIZING first!" The Werelupe King said, taking out a big boomerang and howls.
"You can't eat what you can't kill." Sly said.
"We'll see about that!" The Werelupe King said, as he and the other Werelupes jump down to confront them.
"Tor, you and I will handle the King. Max, Shadow, Storm, T.J., Sly, Murray, you handle the Werelupes." Ky said.
"Sounds good." Max said.
"Let's give 'em and good party they'll never forget." T.J. said.
"Right on!" Murray said and they attack the Werelupes.
"Tor!" Ky said.
"Got it!" Tor said and the Werelupe King howls again and then attacks the two.
(Boss Theme: Squirming Evil)
The Werelupe King attacks Ky and Tor with his boomerang, but Tor blocks the attack with his shield, allowing Ky to attack with his Keyblade followed by Edge Slash, but the Werelupe King dodge rolls out of the way and then charges at the two while trying to impale them with his boomerang, but Ky uses Slide Dash and then attacks vertically with his Keyblade while Tor triple sword slashes. The Werelupe King jumps away from them and then throws his boomerang, getting the two, but Ky casts Cure and then casts Thunder while Tor triple sword slashes, but the Werelupe King attacks the two with his boomerang three times, but after his third strike, Ky counters and horizontal slashes with his Keyblade followed by Blizzard.

"Is that all you got?" Ky asked.
"Okay, time to get serious!" The Werelupe King said, as he slams his boomerang to the ground and unleashes a fiery shock wave.
Ky and Tor dodge the fiery shock wave and Ky delivers a down slash with his Keyblade while Tor sword slams, but the Werelupe King attacks with his boomerang, but after his third strike, Ky counters and then attacks with his Keyblade followed by Sonic Blade while Tor multi slashes with his sword, but the Werelupe King jumps away and then slams his boomerang to the ground again and creates another fiery shock wave.

"You know, you're not a doing a good job trying to beat us." Tor said and the Werelupe King howls in anger and attacks the two in a frenzy.
"Uh, I think he's angry now." Ky said.
"Yep." Tor said.

"You're finished." Ky said.
"Just give up." Tor said.
"NEVER! I shall kill you all!" The Werelupe King yelled and the Werelupes cheer for their king, who howls and attempts to attack, but Ky delivers a stab on the Werelupe King's chest and he falls to the ground, not moving.
The Werelupes are shocked by Ky defeating the Werelupe King and they all back away in fear.
"Yeah! Ya better run! Unless ya wanna deal with Ky!" T.J. said.
"Would it kill you to shut up?" Shadow asked.
"Hang on, guys!" Ky said, as he uses Strike Raid at the cage and it drops, freeing Elena, Tails, Blaze, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, Bentley, and Roberta.
"Thanks." Elena said.
"Glad you're all okay." Max said.
"Look what we found!" Zatch said, showing them Illusen's charm.
"That's Illusen's charm! Good work!" Tor said.
"Now let's get outta here before the werelupes get their courage back." Ky said and they nod.
Ky, Elena, Max, Tails, Blaze, Shadow, Storm, Kiyo and Zatch, Lucky, T.J., Sly, Bentley, Murray, Tor, and Roberta start making their way out of the Werelupe Burrows and so far, they're not dealing with any Werelupes and the group later return to the upper burrows and and they make their way out of the burrows and as they reach the exit and return outside, the skull starts to close.
"Okay. Now that we've got the charm back, let's find Illusen. Tor, you saw her before. Take us to where she is." Ky said.
"Got it. Her glade is at the Meridell Plains. We can get out of here and return there." Tor said.
The group start to leave Werelupe Woods and they find the exit and leave the dark forest and are back at the Brightvale crossroads and they start to make their way back to Meridell Plains and Tor leads them to where Illusen's Glade is and later, the group arrive at what looks like a forest.
"This is it. Illusen's Glade." Tor said.
"And it's covered in darkness." Tails said.
"We'd better hurry and save Illusen if we wanna get through that dark cloud wall around Meridell." Ky said.
(Illusen's Glade)
The group start making their way through Illusen's Glade, but Black Xetis, Heartless, and Minions appear and attack, but the group defeat them all and keep going and Tor leads them to how to get to Illusen's treetops and hurry to where Tor is taking them. Unknowing to them, the Gelert Assassin is on a treetop, waiting for the group and he sees them making their way to a lift and so he cuts the rope that connects the lift with his sword.
"Sorry, but this lift is out of service." Gelert Assassin said.
"You're really starting to annoy me. Get down here and fight!" Shadow said.
"Not really worth the trouble. You can't get up now. You have no way to awaken the Faerie." Gelert Assassin said.
"So why don't you losers run off and go die somewhere." A voice said and the group see Shimo, Tensia, and Homina appearing.
"You three!" Ky said.
"Hello, Ky. Nice to see you again. You look cuter than your human form. Anyway, buzz off now." Shimo said, but Ky throws his Keyblade at her.
"How 'bout YOU shut up and get outta our way!" Ky yelled, but Shimo recovers.
"Is that how it's gonna be?" Shimo asked, as she shoots an ice beam at the group, who dodge and Ky casts Fire at her, but Homina takes the fire spell.
"You know, if you really want to play these kind of games, you should just give up already." Homina said.
"You have no hope to stop the darkness and save this world." Tensia said.
"Just watch us, freaks!" Elena replied.
"Oh, good! It would have been just much fun if you gave up." Gelert Assassin said.
"Okay then. How about this? Even though we were sent to kill you this time, we'll let you play hero in this world for a little bit longer, but we're still coming after you." Shimo said.
"You couldn't beat us before! What makes you think you can now?" Max asked.
"Oh, don't worry. We won't kill you here...yet. Just keep playing hero in this world, and then we'll kill you. Have fun, Ky. This'll be your last." Homina said.
"Sinister Sisters, let us away!" Shimo said, as she disappears and Tesnia and Homina follow her.
"I'll see you later then. I'll let you keep playing your game as well, but you will be killed later." Gelert Assassin said, as he disappears.
"What're we supposed to do now?" Murray asked.
"Even if I try to fly us up there, I'd get tired later and I can't carry all of you." Tails said.
"Wait! That's it!" Tor said.
"What?" Roberta asked.
"My dad back at my farm is an inventor! He can probably help!" Tor said.
"You think he will?" Max asked.
"It's worth a try." Tor said.
"Okay. Which is way is your farm?" Blaze asked.
"Well, normally, it's supposed be past Meridell, but because of that dark cloud blockade, that won't be possible." Tor said.
"Well, there has to be another way, right?" T.J. asked.
"Well, now the only to get to my farm is to get through Drackon Ridge. It's kind of dangerous there." Tor said.
"But it's now the only way to get to your farm." Kiyo said.
"He's right. It's all we've got now. Let's get through Drackon Ridge and get to your farm." Ky said.
"Okay. Let's go." Tor said and they start to leave Illusen's Glade.
And that's it for this chapter. What did you think of this? I hope this was a good one. If you have suggestions, please review to me or PM me. Anyway, next time, Ky and his friends save Tor's farm and then save Illusen and her glade. I'll see you all in the next chapter. Don't forget to review. Take care, goodbye, and stay true, everyone! See ya!
