Kingdom Hearts III: Destiny of Dreams
Chapter 4: The Princess and the Thief.
Ryo looked over at Princess Sara. She was a beautiful girl with shiny brown hair cut short, green eyes, and had a face that could calm a Heartless. She wore a long flowing white dress with a pink bow tied around her waist similar to her surrogate mother's. She also had silver bracelets and gem earrings.
"You okay Ryo," She asked with a voice that could give a Nobody a heat.
"I'm just fine Sara." Ryo said to her. "It's uh, you're the same age as me aren't you?"
"Yeah, 15. You know that." She said.
"Well I just thought... Isn't a little early to think about marriage don't you think ?" He asked blushing.
"I told you, This was decided before Radiant Garden fell to darkness 12 years ago. It was decided that if one kingdom were to have a boy and the other a girl. They would be married." She explained. "Why did you ask?"
"Well..I uh..." Ryo was beginning to blush even more.
"You're not jealous of Alistar are you?" She cooed. Getting up close to Ryo's face.
"I...well..." Ryo backed away his blush turning redder by the second.
"Kissy face! Kissy face!" Stitch said with a grin, still on Ryo's back.
"That's enough out of you blue boy!" Ryo said pointing at Stitch.
"Yo Princess! Mind if we come in?" asked a spiky blond haired boy who poked his head into the room.
"Come on in Jangpo."
Jangpo is Alistar's childhood friend and bodyguard. Much to say he doesn't need a bodyguard! Alistar is an excellent swordsman who has beaten Yuffie, Leon, and almost beaten
Cloud. Jangpo is 7 foot tall, and pretty well built for his age. He's 16 years old, has blond, spiky hair, and had a pair of green goggles hiding his eyes. He wore a pair of green pants, a matching green buttoned shirt with the sleeves ripped off, combat boots with steel toes, and had his trusty Megaton Hammer slung on his back.
"Hey! What is that? A dog?" Jangpo asked looking at Stitch.
"We think so." Ryo said.
"Hey Alistar! Ya gotta come look at this dog Ryo has.
Alistar came through the door. He was the same age as Ryo and Sara. He had black hair that covered his right yellow eye, While his other eye was visible. He wore a red shirt with the royal emblem on it, blue jeans, and a pair of ankle boots similar to Ryo's. He had his rapier attached to his belt.
"Hmm. What an odd dog." He said coming in.
Suddenly Stitch jumped off of Ryo and tackled Alistar, his arms around his neck and screeching at him.
"Stitch! What the Hell are you doing!" Ryo yelled running over to get him off of the prince. Ryo knew how strong Stitch was, so he had to act fast. Alistar had somehow pushed him off and Ryo restrained him.
"Geeze! Keep that thing on a leash!" Jangpo yelled as he ran to his friend's side. "Boss! You ok?"
"I'm fine." He said standing up "He probably isn't used to new people."
"Stitch what's gotten into you!" Ryo scolded, still trying to restrain his extraterrestrial friend
"Shadow boy! Shadow boy!" He screeched.
This caused Ryo to remember what Stitch said before his dream fight.
"Shadow's take Island, Shadow boy take Lilo."
"Well are Gummi ship is about to leave for home. We just wanted to say goodby." Alistar went over kissed his fiancé on the cheek. "Till we meet again, my love." He and Jangpo left the room.
Ryo frowned at this but shrugged it off. Their was nothing he could do about the marriage. But what Stitch said still bothered him. Alistar was a nice guy. He was the type of guy you could trust. Ryo would have to talk to the King about this later.
The next day...
"Ryo! Ryo! Donald and Goofy are back! And they brought the Keyblade warrior!" Sara yelled.
"They did?" Ryo asked going into fanboy mode. This would be his chance to prove to himself that the dream was real, as if the sword wasn't a good enough clue. They made their way to the audience chamber.
"Wow, this place is beautiful!" Kairi said spinning around admiring the castle.
"Yep and Heartless free!" Goofy said.
"How's that possible?" asked Edward.
"Because of the Cornerstone of Light. It's an ancient artifact that's been here as long as anyone can remember. It protects us from any Darkness, even Maleficent!" Donald said.
"That must be one heck of a stone to keep Maleficent out." Riku said.
Edward almost fell over when he saw the gigantic doors to the audience chamber. "You guys get big company sometimes?" He asked. Donald knocked on the door and a small part of the door opened, causing Ed to fall over anime style.
He was taken aback again when he saw the size of the audience chamber. When they finally made it to the end they saw King Micky and Queen Minnie in their respected thrones, Sara to their right and Ryo and Stitch to their left.
"Ryo! Stitch!" Sora greeted.
"You've met them before?" Riku asked Sora.
"In a dream yeah." Sora said.
"So it wasn't a dream!" Ryo said.
"Indeed it wasn't Ryo." King Micky said.
"Great to see you your majesty." Sora said saluting him along with Donald and Goofy. Riku laughed at this gesture until Donald whacked him on the head with his staff and tolled him to show some respect.
"I guess you all already know that Maleficent is back"He said.
"Yeah. We got jumped by her goon squad back home." Riku said.
"And my world was destroyed." Replied Edward.
"We know that Edward." Micky said.
"Hey, how did you know my name?" He asked
"I'm an acquaintance of your father. I also know he's been captured by Maleficent." he explained.
"So Dante is with this Maleficent." Edward stated.
"Stop! Thief!"
everyone ran out of the chamber to see two dog knights charging at a human who wore a grey jacket with the hood over his head, covering his facial features. He had on a pair of baggy pants that had a hole in the left leg, sneakers, and a pair of gloves on his hands. Under his left arm was a wooden box and in his right hand he held the keyblade Wishing Lamp.
"Stop you worthless thief!" one of the knights shouted.
The thief jumped past the knights and whacked both of them with his keyblade. "He! Waaaaaaay too easy." He said with an Irish accent. He then noticed the crowd in front of him. "Well hello their. You must be the owners of this fine castle." He was leaning on his keyblade in a care-free manner, not even thinking that they too had keyblades. "Say, you don't mind if I liberate you of a few assets do you?" He asked motioning to the box under his arm.
"Those are the family jewels!" Minnie cried.
"Who are you!" Mickey demanded.
"Travis McKnight, at your service." He said bowing. "And now it's time to leave." He then jumped out into the courtyard. Sora, Riku, and Micky jumped after him. Everyone else went through the door. Travis tried to run to the Gummi hangar. But Mickey jumped in front of him, his keyblade out. He turned around to find Sora, Riku, Ed, Ryo, and Stitch with their weapons out. Minnie, Sara, and Kairi were watching from a distance.
"Persistent, aren't we?" He asked. "They said to use this in a jam, and this looks like one!" Travis pull a necklace that was on his neck hidden under his jacket . It was an exact replica of the Nobody emblem. It began to glow. "Come on out boys!" He called and several Dusks appeared around him.
"Nobodies!" Sora was shocked to see his stark white enemies again.
"Give 'em hell!" the Dusks attacked the group while Sora took on Travis. They parried each other's blows but soon Sora tripped him, causing him to lose his balance. Sora took this opportunity to whack the box out of his arm. The contents shattered everywhere shining the courtyard with jewels, necklaces, and rings.
"Ah bloody hell! All they wanted was this one!" He then snatched a beautiful gold ring with a technicolor crystal on it.
"Oh no! Not that one!" Minnie cried.
"Hate to snatch and run, but my employers are waiting for me." He remarked. "Ta-Ta!" He snapped his fingers and he disappeared in a cloud of purple smoke. By the time the others were done with the Dusks, he was gone.
"I doubt he could teleport to another world so he'll need a-" Micky was cut off by the roar of a gummi ship leaving the world's atmosphere. "...gummi ship..."
"So what did he steal?" Ed asked.
"The Rainbow Ring: Queen Minnie replied sadly "It's a ring that is basically a never-ending power source."
"You think Maleficent sent him?" Riku asked.
"No, he was using Dusks so he must be an organization nobody " Sora stated.
"Maybe, Maybe not" the king replied. "That thing he had around his neck must have been the twilight charm. It's an accessory that allows the wearer summon nobodies whether their in the organization or not. Their's also a shadow charm that allows the wearer to control the Heartless without the fear of becoming one."
After much talking King Micky tolled them it was time to go.
"Sora. Donald, Goofy. The worlds are in trouble again. You all know the drill. Get out their and stop the Heartless. Me and Riku are going to investigate and try to find Maleficent's stronghold." The King said. "You'd better come with us as well Edward. Finding Maleficent will find your father."
"What we're splitting up?" Whined Sora.
"Sorry Sora, But he's right. We'll see each other again." Riku said.
"Ryo, I want you to go with Sora." Replied the King.
"What! But whose's gonna protect Princess Sara?" Ryo yelled.
"Don't worry Ryo. The other knights can protect me." Replied Sara.
"Kairi. It would be best if you stayed here where it's safe." Replied Sora. Suddenly Kairi latched onto Sora causing him to blush.
Oh no you don't!" She replied. "You're not gonna leave me behind this time! Got it key boy?"
"Uh..got it" Sora knew not to mess with Kairi.
Later...
"But what if something happens to you while im gone?" Ryo protested.
"But Ryo. This is your chance to see other worlds!" Sara argued.
"But I..."
"Here." Sara gave her bodyguard a red scarf. "I made it myself. Just remember, although we're apart from each other. We'll always be together, in here" She pointed to her heart. She then quickly kissed him on the lips and walked to her room. "Just come back some day." She said and closed the door.
Ryo was standing there for about a minute until Stitch snapped him back into reality. "Oh right! Time to go." He began to run to the Gummi hangar.
"Good luck to all of you." King Micky said to Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Kairi. "Wait, Where's Ryo and Stitch?"
"Here we are!" He yelled as he ran into the hangar, and then tripped on the wrench he failed to notice, and toppled Sora, Donald, Goofy, and Kairi. They all had cartoony stars swirling around their heads.
"Well, this is a good start." Edward muttered.
"Take care all of you." replied Queen Minnie.
"We'll see you all when we need to." Said Riku.
"We'll come back soon." Replied Sora.
"Soon their gummi ship, the Highwind was leaving on to their next adventure.
"So, Where to go?" asked Kairi.
"I don't know. Hey Chip. What's the closest corrupted world?" Asked Sora.
"According to the map, it's a world called St. Canard." reported Chip.
"Then full speed ahead!" Yelled Donald.
"Oh.. Sora I-I don't feel so..." Kairi suddenly fainted.
"Kairi! ..ohhhhh" Sora fainted as well.
"Uh! Oh! Sora! Kairi!" Goofy ran to their sides.
Roxas and Namine found themselves in a world where one side was darkness while the other side was light.
"Namine! What's going on!" Roxas asked.
"I don't know!" suddenly neoshadows appeared and grabbed Namine, pulling here into the darkness.
"Namine!" Roxas ran to grab her, but Dusked latched onto him and were pulling him into the light. "Let go of me! Namine!" Roxas reached out with his hand. "Roxas!" She also attempted to grab his hand. Just as their hands touched, Namine was pulled into the shrouding darkness while Roxas was pulled into the blinding light.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
"Sora!" Sora woke up with a groan.
"About time." Replied Ryo. "We're here.
"At St. Canard?"
"Yup. Now that you two are done sleep'n we can land A-yuck!" said Goofy.
"Then let's get going!"
World that Never Was
Travis hated coming here. There was something wrong with this city. No people, no life, no sun.
He entered the skyscraper and saw some Dusks pass by. "Ok Travis, just give em the ring, take the munny, and get the hell out of here." He said to himself while the elevator went to the top. He walked out of the elevator to find himself in a meeting room with a long table with empty chairs. Sitting at the end of the table was Ralix, still hooded. He was stroking the fur of a massive white lion that had a scar under it's right eye.
"Hello Travis." He began. "Do you have the ring?"
"Right here Ralix." McKnight tossed the Rainbow Ring to the Nobody. "Now where's that 10,000,000 munny you owe me?"
"Right here Travis." He slid a hefty bag. Across the table.
"I don't like to pry into my client's reasons, but what do you need this ring for anyway?" Asked the thief.
"Oh all in good time my friend. Here is your next target." Ralix slid him a folder. He read the contents and put it down.
"Easy breezy. I'll back before you can say, Haggis." He entered the elevator and turned around. "See ya Ralix. Bye Whiskers." He said jokingly to the lion.
"Actually, I prefer the name, Xars." The lion called back.
"What the-" The elevator door closed before Travis could finish.
Ralix and Xars laughed to themselves until Axel came through a door. "Sir, the process is complete...sort of."
"Sort of?" Ralix asked.
"We were to bring back Roxas, but Namine was brought back by someone else." Axel reported.
"Hmm. It appears that there's more to Maleficent's plans than we already know." Ralix stated. "Come on, he'll be waking up soon. We have a lot to talk about." The two men and lion left the room.
Fortress of Sorrow
"Give it more power Carmac!" yelled the black haired boy. He was staring at a capsule that was glowing brighter by the second.
"But sir, We don't have enough!" cried the twisted scientist. Dr. Carmac was a disfigured man in his thirties. The left side of his face was completely normal with graying brown hair and brown eyes. But the right side of his face was bald, with ugly green skin, a pointed goblin -like ear, and a piercing red eye. His left arm was normal but his right arm was much bigger than the left one, and was green skinned with long fingernails. He wore a tattered lab coat, Buttoned from the waist up, a pair of black pants, but had no shoes to hide his large, green feet which had long toenails.
"Then allow me." the black haired boy summoned the Keyblade of Darkness( Which he renamed Shadow's Requiem ), and aimed it at the glowing capsule. A beam of dark energy shot out of the blade and hit the capsule. Soon the capsule was switching between light and dark over and over for a few seconds. Then the two elements melted together setting off an explosion of twilight.
When it was done, a girl awakened from the capsule Shocked and staring at the two beings in the lab.
"Hello their my dear. Welcome back to the real world." The boy grinned.
"Where am I," the Girl asked.
"Your new home...Namine."
