The Legend of the Keyblade
Chapter Three: Say What!
Yen Sid looked at them without blinking for a few seconds, then he sighs, and not like one of those 'mom-why-can't-I-go' sighs, it was move of an 'oh-my-god-we're-doomed' sighs. It was really weird.
"One of you three will be chosen to protect the worlds from the Darkness." He repeated.
"What Darkness? There's nothing wrong, man this sounds like a really messed version of that Sora story." Jayson mumbles under his breath.
"A story?" Yen Sid says incredulously, "Sora is hardly a story; he was one of the best Keybalders the worlds have ever seen." He sighs again this time in remembrance.
"Whoa-wait! You've met Sora! But that was a hundred years ago...you must be…over a hundred years old!" Ivory exclaims.
"You are correct. Now then, will you take on this great responsibility?" Yen Sid asks us again gravely.
"Sure! I'll try anything at least once!" Jayson says. Ivory and Eden elbow him in the sides.
"What?" He snaps at them.
"Jayson, do you know how dangerous this could be?" Eden asks him.
"Jayson, you're hardly taking this seriously!" Ivory says with annoyance.
"I am completely aware of how dangerous this is besides, Eden you said you wanted adventure to cure your boredom, and I am being completely and totally serious Ivory, god you two treat me like I'm a child." He glares at them, then looks at Yen Sid and says, "Lead the way."
And he did. He took them into a back room and pointed to three pedestals. Yen Sid looked at them once more as if he were measuring them. Then he nods, as if he was satisfied by something he saw in them.
"Walk up to one of the pedestals and see if it accepts you." Jayson hadn't moved more than a step before he felt something attract itself to his hand. He looks down in surprise and sees a keyblade.
"It seems that you are worthy, Jayson." Jayson blinks in surprise. Ivory and Eden move up to the pedestals and reach over them and grasp the keyblades on them.
"Now can you take them to the next world or will the search continue?" Yen Sid muses out loud.
"I will give you a Gummy Ship so you can travel to the different worlds and put the darkness to rest." Yen Sid says sagely.
"But what are we supposed to do! You're just throwing us into this and hoping that it works out!" Jayson says to him in irritation.
"Oh I have a feeling that you will instinctively know what to do. And not to worry you can come back and ask me questions any time you feel it necessary but right now you must leave."
The Gummy Ship
"Wow! This ship is huge!" Ivory exclaims.
"We're going to another world! Oh where should we go first?" Eden asks excitedly.
"Now who isn't taking this seriously? Hmmm?" Jayson says sarcastically.
"I am taking this seriously! We have to save the world, but that doesn't mean that we can't fun while we're doing it." Eden says defensively.
"I have a feeling that our vacation ended the moment we met Yen Sid." He says soberly.
"God Jayson, you're such a freakin' pessimist." Ivory tells Jayson.
"And you're a smart ass Ivory, but I don't point it out now do I?" Ivory looks away from him slightly hurt. He release a sigh and lets it go, but doesn't say sorry.
"Will you two stop it? I mean do we have to start this now? I mean we are supposed to be friends!" Eden says with annoyance.
"Yea, but some of us are a bit more than friends." Ivory says glumly and looks pointedly at Jayson and Eden. Jayson rolls his eyes and Eden blushes a little pink.
"God, I feel like a third wheel." She mumbles.
"Ivory stop sulking, I'm sorry ok? God, there I said it. Besides the only way you would be a third wheel is if we were dating and we aren't dating, right Eden?" Jayson snaps.
"Yea, besides it's too weird." She supplies. Jayson nods in agreement.
"Hey we're coming up to a world!" Ivory points at the screen. Jayson looks down at it. Radiant Garden.
"Are we landing?" He asks.
"Yes!" They chime in unison. Jayson winces and begins to land the ship. He thinks about what he really doesn't believe. Keyblades? Yea right, then he's Santa Clause. Jayson couldn't even believe it and yet he supposedly had one.
As they step out of the Gummy Ship Eden and Ivory start twirling around as it starts to...snow? Or something like that. He sighs and start trudging down the street trying to find someone who looks like they know what is going on.
"Look at the castle ruins, Jayson!" Ivory says with awe.
"Yay, castle ruins." He says sarcastically. She glares at him and turns away. Jayson rolls his eyes.
"Come on, we need to find out what's happened or happening here." Jayson says as he walks away from her. Eden and Ivory trail behind him slowly. Jayson finally comes across a house. He knocks once and then enters. He walks in and notices the huge computer on the back wall and the books.
"I wonder who lives here?" Eden muses.
"I live here and you three are late." A voice states behind them. They turn around and look at an old man in a blue robe with a long white beard.
"Who are you?" Ivory asks nervously.
"I am Merlin and you three are the Keyblade Masters. Now go sit down, we have much to talk about." They slowly walk over to the chairs and sit down.
"Now then, for the last hundred years the darkness has been slowly been growing as the Heartless and the Nobodies have been returning. Now that you are here we should be able to fix this problem once and for all." Merlin says briskly.
They all look at each other, "Say what?" They say together.
"Have you been told nothing?"
"We were told to rely on our instincts." Jayson says sarcastically.
"Sounds like something Yen Sid would say." Merlin says. Jayson rolls his eyes.
"Yea, whatever, now I assume that you are going to tell us something helpful?" Jayson supplies.
"Yes yes, of course. Now then the Organization XIII has returned in full force and is up to no good again, you must find out what they are doing and destroy them and the Heartless in the worlds. This journey isn't going to be easy I hope you are prepared for this."
"As prepared as unprepared. God but isn't this all a story? I mean that's what we have always been told. " Jayson says.
"If it was a story you wouldn't be sitting here." Merlin says testily. Jayson ignores the tone and gets up and paces the same house.
"We don't even know what we are facing, exactly and you expect us to save the world?" Eden says incredulously.
"That's why I am here, I can help guide but in the end its probably going to be instinct and what you think will be best that saves us."
Jayson looks at him and says, "Well then it looks like we're shit out of luck."
