Traverse Town Chapter 2
A/N- I'm finally starting on Chapter two. I have an idea of how I'm going to make it, but I'm not sure if I should do it in this chapter or the next though. I'm thinking about it. Maybe I will start on it on this chapter but in the next one have a conclusion. And I probably won't write it until you all review the story!! So I will make it more interesting. You know the FIRST CHAPTER IS ALWAYS BORING, SO LET'S CRANK IT UP A LITTLE. See now I dont know what to write. What tha heck. I'll try. And this time I'mma write it in a different format to make it easier to understand. (she tries to write it in a different format) You know what? Erase that. (moves hand over an imaginary board with writing on it)
Disclaimer- Do I have to do one for every chapter?
Russel's eyes opened slowly. He woke up himself this time. It was very quiet in his room. Even though he had the door closed, he could still hear all the commotion outside the door. All that noise and yet, it felt quiet to him. He got up, dressed and headed for the Boiler Room. While he was walking, he noticed a constant dripping on the ship.
"Hmm?" Russel looked up at the sound. He wondered.
"It couldn't be..." He looked around to find someone. He saw a lady pushing a laundry cart further down the hall of cabins. He caught up to her and grabbed her shoulder.
"Hey, is it raining outside?" he asked. The lady was a janitor with short, blonde hair. She turned around.
"Oh it's you Riza." said Russel. He grinned and like always, she smiled back.
"Oh yeah about the rain. It's drizzling slightly."
"Oh. Well, I guess I should still go. Have a good day Riza." Russel waved and ran passed her, to the Boiler Room.
Russel walked in the Boiler Room to find Wakka and Sora again. He was slightly drenched from the drizzle which had grown slightly to a light rain.
"Hey you're on time today." said Wakka.
"Yup. So what are we doing today?" said Russel.
"You also seem happier than yesterday too. Looking forward for work?" said Sora.
"Well too bad. Our work was going to be to wash the deck but it seems the rain has done it itself." explained Wakka.
"So what do we do now."
"I guess we do whatever we want. So how about we grab Riku and head for the arcade and Tyfannys. ( A/N: The resturant on the cruise ship.)
They grabbed Riku, who was zombified as they just snatched him away from the fanfic he was reading , and headed towards Tyffanys. Then a big dark puddle from nowhere popped up from the deck. Russel, Sora, Wakka and Riku were soaked from the light rain that grew to be rain itself. They looked at the puddle and blamed the rain.
"What is going on with the weather today?" said Riku.
"Yeah." said everyone else. They were all concerned about that puddle.
The puddle grew larger and a man began to come out of it. The group flinched with a gasp.
"What tha' hell?" said Riku, dazed. "The world is really trippin'." Riku was scared. (A/N: As shocking as that may be.) He flinched and quivered like the heartless on Kingdom Hearts.
They looked at the man in the middle of the puddle. The puddle began to disappear under his feet. He looked at the boys in front of him. Then his eyes stopped on Sora. He turned away from them and started mumbling.
"Oh my God, it's Sora.." he said quietly with his back turned. He turned back to them nervously rubbing the back of his head and waving. "Hey guys, what are ya' doing?" he grinned.
Riku, who was quick to talk back said, "Who in the hell are you?"
"I'm Demyx, the one who was sent for Russel from the island you're headed to."
"Russel? Wait, we're not headed to a land. I mean, not an island this close. The island we're headed to is way that way." Sora pointed northeast.
"Hey, I wouldn't talk so fast shrimp. There's a storm headed this way and who knows what will happen." said Demyx.
Sora jumped back in shock. How dare he call me a shrimp? I'm not that short. He kept his mouth shut. They didn't need a fight. This man looked powerful. (Beta's Note: Pssh. Yeah right)
"Well, I don't care. C'mon Russel. Let's forget about it." Riku grabbed Russel's wrist and walked passed Demyx without another word with Wakka and Sora following close behind.
All four of the boys got their food and sat down at a table. They talked about yesterday and other things that don't need to be said. Then, Demyx came into the conversation.
"I wonder why he showed up on the ship?" said Sora.
"The question is, how did he get on the ship anyway?" said Riku.
"I wonder why he asked for me?" said Russel.
"Is he gay?" said Wakka.
Everyone turned to Wakka with expressions that clearly said 'What the fuck?'
"What?" said Wakka. They ignored him and continued to eat.
It was quiet for a long time. As soon as Russel began to talk, there was a big bump. It knocked a few people out of their seats.
"What in the hell was that?" said Wakka.
"I don't know!" said Russel. He acted sort of paranoid. He remembered what Demyx said before. Maybe they were going to that island.
They sat alertly the whole time the boat rocked and crashed. They had fallen and ended up sitting on the floor. They looked around the resturant full of people falling and flying across the room. It got even worse. The storm became so immense that it felt as if the boat was turning complete circles. Riku caught a glimpse of something outside the window. He crawled and headed towards the window.
"Hey! Come look at this." Sora, Russel and Wakka headed towards the window. As they looked out, they became more concerned. The ocean waves were right under the window. "Oh shit." said Riku. They turned from the window to see water coming through the floor. They paniced and ran outside to go up the stairs. The rain and wind made them stumble and fall while going up to the next floor. They were amazed to see that the water up here was higher than the water in the last floor.
"I think this is an illusion." said Riku. The water was black. In fact, it was the same color as the puddle than Demyx rose from. "Wait! If Demyx rose up from the same kind of darkness then he's the one causing all of this!" He turned to his friends to find them handling a more important matter.
The darkness below them were consuming them swiftly. Riku then looked down at his own body which was halfway completely consumed into the darkness. He and his friends struggled to the next set of stairs to the next level, but the darkness followed right after them. They kept going up until they ended up on the highest deck. This didn't stop them. They began to climb up the ropes on the ship until they got to the 'watcher's deck'. They could do nothing but watch in fear as the darkness consumed their bodies.
After being completely consumed, they woke up, surrounded by darkness, floating steadily. They were unconcious. Their minds clouded with visions. They didnt know what the visions were, but it seemed like they had been there before. Visions of people and places. They just kept repeating over and over again. Then, they remembered what the pictures were. The pictures suddenly made sense to them. They were of their memories. After realizing this, they broke through the darkness with their memories and ended up falling through the darkness into an ocean. They were still unconcious when they fell and began to sink. When their lungs hungered for oxygen, they swam up.
All of them took deep breaths as they looked at each other.
"What the heck was that?" said Sora. Then he casted a glance towards the scene in front of him. Soon his eyes widened. The others, seeing his shocked gaze, also turned forward to see a huge town in front of them.
