Onto the Story
Destiny Hearts
'How many damn magical colors are we going to pass until we hit a damn stop?' Ichigo thought, eyes twitching dangerously as he looked through one of the windows. Sitting beside him, Roxas looked at him with a sweat drop before sighing to himself. Sora, Donald, and Goofy were still looking through the windows at the endless colors in awe.
They had been traveling a good hour now without seeing any signs of life or land for that matter. Before they even left the train station, Ichigo had a bad feeling that this train ride was going to last more than it needed to. But he shook it off, thinking it was just another one of those wrong feeling's he's been having sense this damn journey began for him.
He wish he would have listen to it
Being on a train for a hour was too damn long for Ichigo, it wasn't that the fact that he was on the train for that matter. It was the fact that the train was traveling on a track that was floating in the damn sky with no land whatsoever around them. How the hell was that possible in the first place? He had seen so weird shit in his life, but this just that the cake. It was getting on his nerves that he did know how it was happening! The other thing that was getting on his nerves was Sora, Donald, and Goofy's noises of awe for seeing the same damn thing for an hour!
He sighed to clam himself down before looking at Roxas who still had that sad look in his eyes. The boy had been like this ever since they had said goodbye to Hanyer, Pence, and Olette. Roxas must know those three from somewhere but that what confused Ichigo. The three had said that they had never met either Sora or Roxas before in their lives, so why was Roxas still in this sober mood of his? Something just didn't make any sense to him.
"What's wrong Roxas?"
Roxas paused in is thoughts for a moment and looked to his side to see Ichigo looking at him. "Nothing's wrong, Why do you ask?" He lied, hoping that Ichigo didn't figure it out.
Ichigo snorted at turn to face the other three who were finally sitting like normal people. "You can't lie to me Roxas; I use to tell others the same thing when I was feeling useless and sad over something."
Roxas cursed himself for being so easy to figure out. He wanted to be able to keep all his problems to himself until he gains all of his lost memories. He didn't want to have to bother Ichigo because he seems to have some of his own problems to deal with.
"You don't have to tell me if you do not want to," Ichigo said, and then smirk. "Just know that I'm here for ya man, we're both in a fucked up position right now." he clenched his fist and brought it closely by Roxas.
Said blond boy chuckled before bumping fist with Ichigo. He then smiled; maybe it didn't know everything he did before he came to Twilight Town. But he'll figure it out while traveling with Ichigo. He then smirked, his body was shaking with excitement, he didn't know why but he could feel that this journey will be one he will never forget. He was also excited because of all the strong enemies he'll meet, he didn't know why he was inching for a good fight but he could tell Ichigo enjoy a fight just as much as he did.
"Hey look guys!" Sora suddenly shouted out. "Something's happening to the train."
Ichigo and Roxas looked up to see the whole train was cover in a bright light, a second later they finally came to a stop. Ichigo cheered mentally to himself for finally being able to get off of the train after riding it for so long. Both boys stood up from their seats just in time as the light flashed away, they looked outside to see that they had stopped at a floating...
'What the fuck?'
All five walked off the train to see that it had stopped at a floating island with a large blue castle in the middle. A few trees were on the sides but that was all Ichigo could see from his point of view. He turns around to see if he was just imagining that this was a floating island, but again he met nothing but endless colors with no land around. Ichigo groan, he wonder why his life couldn't be normal for one second in his life.
"Wow..." Sora was in awe at seeing the large castle. Beside him, Donald and Goofy were in the same shock as he was.
Snapping out of his shock, Donald looked at his friends. "Well, what are we waiting for? Let's go see why the King wanted us to come here."
Sora and Goofy nodded eagerly before quickly following after Donald, the only ones that stayed back were Ichigo and Roxas. The reason why Ichigo didn't rush over to catch up with them was the flashbacks he was having of himself rushing into Las Noches. That same reason has made him caution of just rushing into a castle without knowing what was in it. Like Ichigo, Roxas was having his own sudden flashbacks of a giant castle floating in the middle of a giant hole of darkness. That reason kept him from just running into the place where he had no knowledge of.
Roxas sighed, "Well, might as well go after those three before they get themselves killed."
Crossing his arms over his chest, Ichigo had a annoyed expression on his face. "I'm seriously starting to doubt if those three did save the worlds."
"You're not the only one that seriously doubting that."
Walking to catch up with the others, they suddenly paused as a bright flash of light came from behind them. Quickly turning around, they looked to see that the train and the track was completely gone from where it was. Both glared at the spot before turning back around to catch up to the others, not even wasting their time anymore on what the hell happen. It only took them a few seconds to catch up to Sora and the others, who were looking at a large figure who was sneaking a peek inside of the castle.
The figure before them seems to be wearing another strange outfit that Ichigo as seen since his journey began. He's wearing what seem to be armor colored in shades of blue and purple overtop a red short-sleeved shirt with vertical pink stripe descending from the neck. He wears navy blue and white sneakers with light blue fronts and two periwinkle straps keeping each secure. His pants are also navy blue, with light blue lining, purple lower legs, and two of the biggest set of pockets Ichigo as ever seen.
These pouches are attached to his pants by four pins, both sporting a sliver, horizontal zipper. The most distinguishing feature of these pants is the comically large zipper going down the front and reaching around to the back side of the pants. He wears two navy blue pauldrons, each sporting two cyan bumps and a periwinkle area near on the lower section on each shoulder. Two gold buttons at the top of Pete's pants connect to two blue suspenders that intersect over his chest before connecting to two similar, albeit smaller buttons on his shoulder pauldrons. Pete also wears a pair of fingerless gauntlets.
The wrist of the gauntlets is light blue with a pale yellow semi-circle on top, while the gloves are periwinkle with a bump on each knuckle. There is a dark blue-green design on the back of each glove, descending from each knuckle to the end of the glove. He was tall, standing at a impressive height of 6'5 or 6'6 to Ichigo's estimate from where he was standing. He was also large, which seems to fit his figure. The only thing Ichigo was wondering was why the hell was he dress in that? He had to get hot in that thing at some point of time.
"What going on?" Donald asked
The large figure laughed, "I sent some of my lackey's inside to see if the master of this here tower as big and tough as they say." He told them. Both Ichigo and Roxas tense up, suddenly getting a bad fib from the figure. "Word is, he's a really powerful sorcerer; which would make him the perfect bodyguard for me. See, doesn't matter how tough he is- once he's a heartless, he'll do as I say!" he finished explaining, and for some reason, he still wasn't looking at them. Ichigo was starting to think if he was stupid or something.
All five tense as they heard the word 'Heartless' from the figures mouth. Sora, Donald, and Goofy took a fighting stance, the only ones that didn't ones Ichigo and Roxas. Both boys were still tense and they were glaring at the figure with emotionless eyes.
"Heartless you say?" Ichigo asked his voice as ice.
The large figure shivered for a moment before continuing. "That's right. They're the things that come out of the darkness in folk's hearts. Why, with all those heartless at her side, my dear friend Maleficent is gonna conquer everything! And since I've got me a dept to pay, I'm going to make an army of Heartless, special for her!" He paused for a second, still not even bothering to see who he was talking to. "Aw, why am I talking to you pipsqueaks anyway? Go on, scram! I'm behind schedule as it is!" Okay, this dude was officially a dumbass to Ichigo and Roxas.
"You oughta find somethin' nicer to do." Goofy suggested in a firm voice
The figure finally turned around to reveal himself, revealing himself to be a cat-like being. He had four buck teeth with huge eyes that were narrowed in annoyance. It had to be one of the ugliest humanoid cats Ichigo as ever seen.
"Oh yeah? Says who?" The figures eyes widened comically upon seeing them. "Wha... AAAH! It's you!" He exclaimed angrily, pointing at both Donald and Goofy.
Donald and Goofy's eyes widened at the sight of him. "Pete?" they said unison
Ichigo, Sora and Roxas just stared at the three.
"What are you two nimrods doing here?" Pete demanded
"What are you doing here?" Donald shot back in annoyance
"You know ol dumbass over here?" Roxas asked, jerking his thumb at Pete who glares angrily for being called a dumbass.
"Who are you calling a dumbass pipsqueak?" Pete asked, pointing a finger at Roxas
"He's calling you one!" Ichigo said, jumping into the argument. Pete paused for a second to stare at Ichigo, he suddenly remembered something before a shiver with down his spine. "You just told us your whole plan without even knowing who you're talking to; and you don't say you're stupid?"
Behind him, Sora, Donald and Goofy laughed, which caused Pete to boil in rage. He absolute hated it when people called him stupid, no matter who it was he just hated it.
"So," Ichigo looked at Goofy. "You said you knew this clown."
Goofy nodded, "Me and Donald sure do! He's been causin' trouble for ages. Queen Minnie banished him to another dimension a long time ago." Goofy scratched his head in wonder. "I wonder how he escaped though."
Pete suddenly laughed and the others looked at him to see a smug look on his face. "You wanna know how, eh?" he asked. "Well, Maleficent busted me out, that's how! And now your world- no, all the worlds are gonna belong to yours truly. Cause Maleficent's gonna help me conquer 'em!"
Ichigo or Roxas didn't know who the hell this 'Maleficent' character was he was talking about. The way he was talking, was like she was some all powerful dark lord who could control anything she wanted. Both boys were seriously doubt that if the only servant she could find was a dumbass like him. If she was all powerful like he said, she would have way more servants and allies and not just one lackey who seem to can't even tie his shoes right.
"Maleficent, huh..." Sora asked sarcastically, he then began to laugh along with Donald and Goofy. Ichigo and Roxas just looked at the three in confusion; did they know who this clown was talking about?
"What are you laughing at?" Pete demanded. "Why, Maleficent's power is so great-" He was cut off by Donald.
"Sorry to break it to ya, but..."
"She's toast!" Sora finished for him as they grinned at each other
"Sorry, but Maleficent can't help ya now." Goofy told him
"Whaddaya mean?" Pete demanded as Donald chuckled. "You! So you're the ones that defeated Maleficent."
"Well..." Sora said, putting his hands behind his head. "We might've had something to do with it."
Pete was shaking with rage by now. How could these fools stand there and talk about the woman that save his life from that damn dimension that wench of a Queen put him in? He will not sit by and let them talk about her that way. Not while he was around he wouldn't!
"You three will pay for what you did to her!" Pete shouted in rage. "Heartless Squad! Round Up!" he shouted to the sides of the stairs. Ichigo watch as about nine shadows appeared on either side of the stairs looking directly at Sora, Donald and Goofy. Summoning his keybalde, Sora took a low stance and stood ready; Donald and Goofy summon their weapons that consist of a staff and a shield.
Seeing a fight about to happen, Roxas was about to summon his own keyblades but stop once he felt a hand on his shoulder. He follows the arm to see that Ichigo had stopped him, but he wasn't looking him directly in the eyes.
"What's wrong Ichigo?" He asked, curious on why he was stop.
Ichigo paused for a moment before answering his friend. "I know your itching for a fight, but I want to see how Sora and the others fight."
Roxas nodded and step back; he also wanted to know if Sora and the others could fight. During the small battle they had at the train station, he was too busy handling his own problem to view Sora and the others skill level. He wanted to see if Sora was as good as they say, especially after that Diz bastard kept bragging on him so much. He clenched his fist at just remembering that man, he also was sure that he had met him before the mansion as well. He shook that off, he would worry about that another time, for now he would just sit back and watch the short fight in front of him.
Sora smirked at the heartless before charging forward and before the first heartless in the front could react; he was already cut in half from the waist. Donald followed it up by holding his staff in the air, Ichigo watch as blue energy seems to flow at the tip before he yells something.
"Sanda (Thunder)!" Donald shouted, following a bright yellow flash of light that slammed into one of the Heartless, killing it instantly. Ichigo was amaze at seeing this; it reminded him of that kido spell that Byakuya had use on him in their fight on Sokyoku Hill. He then winced at remembering how painful it was.
Donald seem to not be finish, he followed his attack by pointing his staff at another Heartless who was charging forward. This time, blue energy gathered at the tip of the weird shaped staff, "Mo fubuki (Blizzard)!" A shard of ice shot forward and stabbed the heartless clean through the stomach. It winces before it to vanish a second later.
Goofy slammed his shield into another Heartless before he held his arms out and started to spin at high speeds. "Tatsumaki (Tornado)!" He shouted before twisting toward his two remaining opponents. The speed he was spinning at seems to draw enemies in until they were in at hit by multiple fast hits that destroyed them instantly. Goofy stopped spinning and looked at his handy work; he held his hand on his head and laughed.
Sora jumped up and twisted his body in mid-air, keyblade following with deadly accrues. The Heartless didn't have time to dodge as the keyblade cut it clean in half, it screeched before it vanished. Seeing its comrade beating so easily, the last Heartless launched at Sora, jumping in the air coming down with its claws bare. Looking up into the air, Sora grin and pointed his keyblade directly towards it. A white light glowed at its tip before it fired a small beam of energy that slammed into the Heartless, killing it instantly.
Seeing his minions were defeated so easily, Pete became furious. "You just wait! nobody, and I mean nobody, messes-" he was cut off as he felt two fist slammed into his stomach, a 'huff' noise blasted from his mouth before he slammed into the castle's wall.
Pete groan from his spot on the ground, the armor he was wearing seem to have not protected him at all. He didn't even see the two blows coming until he was hit, and by that time he couldn't do anything to stop it. He growled and tried to pick himself up from the ground, but two feet slammed into his stomach, keeping him on the ground and moaning in pain. He looked up to see both Ichigo and Roxas standing over him with smirks on their faces and their arms cross over their chest.
"I'm going to get you two for this!" Pete swore, "Nobody messes with the mighty Pete!" He shouted at them angrily
Both boys raised an eyebrow at the huge cat's threat; they both looked at each other for a second before nodded. Pete looked at them to in curiously, wondering what the two had just plan without speaking a word. Whatever they had planned, it didn't sound too good for Pete which causes him to gulp in fear.
"Here's the deal cat." Ichigo said, taking his foot off of Pete's chest. "You tell us who's in this castle and we want beat the hell out of you."
Pete growled at being call a cat and not his name. "My name is Pete you nimrod! And I'm not telling you nothing!" he shouted, but gulp once he saw the evil grins on the two boys faces.
"I'm sorry," Roxas said in a mocking tone. "But that wasn't the right answer we wanted."
Pete suddenly felt some grab his ankle; he looked to see that Ichigo was now dragging him to where the end of the small island was. Fear started to flash over Pete's face, he quickly turn and tried hard to pull himself away, but Ichigo's strength seem to be far above his. Sora, Donald, and Goofy watched from a far with large sweat drops on the back of their heads.
"What do you think they're going to do to him?" Goofy asked
Sora shrugged his shoulders, and lifted his keyblade. "I really don't know Goofy, but since we only met those two a while ago. I've learn not to question what crazy thing those two are going to do."
Donald shook his head in agreement to that.
Stopping on the ledge, Ichigo lifted Pete up and hovered him over the edge. Pete looked down in fear at the endless drop that seems to go on forever. Those two couldn't just drop him could they? They just couldn't do it! He still had an army of Heartless to build for Maleficent when she returns. He couldn't die just yet! He looked over toward Ichigo and Roxas to see that they still had the same grins on their faces.
"AAHHHHAAHH! Let me go!" Pete screamed in fear. He started to thrashed wildly around, but Ichigo weaken grip causes him to stop.
"Now, since we got your undivided attention." Ichigo said in a mocking tone. "You're going to answer every one of our questions, if you don't," he loosen his grip a bit to get his point across. "I might just suddenly lose my grip on you."
"OK! JUST DON'T DROP ME!" Pete shouted quickly, the fear all in his voice.
"Well, what are you waiting for?" Roxas demanded, "A written invitation? Tell us who's living in this tower."
"The person that lives in the castle is old Yen Sid," He answered them. Ichigo and Roxas looked at each other in confusion. Who was this Yen Sid person? "Course he's probably a Heartless by now."
"Did you say Master Yen Sid lives here?"
Both looked back to see Donald looking at Pete in shock, a second later he dashed toward the large doors of the tower and pushed them open before running inside. Ichigo, Roxas, and Sora looked in confusion before shrugging their shoulders.
Seeing their unknown looks, Goofy took this chance to explain. "Master Yen Sid is the King's teacher," he explained for them. They nodded their heads to that, if this Yen Sid was the King's teacher, he had to be powerful.
"Wow, sounds powerful!" Sora remarked as he and Goofy ran after Donald. Both Ichigo and Roxas stared at the two as they went in the tower before looking back at the fearful Pete.
"Well, I guess you're able to leave here." Ichigo said, dropping the large cat onto the ground. He and Roxas proceed to follow after the others, "Make sure not to cause any trouble you stupid cat."
Pete began jumping around in a temper tantrum after being ignored and humiliated by some brats.
Yen Sid's Castle...
"So this is Yen Sid's castle." Ichigo acknowledge, looking around. He could see a staircase that lead up in a circle until in lead straight into a white portal. Ichigo sweat drop at seeing this and thought they there was going to have another fight they were going to have to deal with.
Sora, Donald, and Goofy were in awe at the huge magical tower. "Master Yen Sid lives at the top," Donald told them. They nodded at the logic before proceeding up the stairs; it didn't take them long as they all entered into the portal. A flash of light cover their vision but vanish just a quickly as it came.
Ichigo open his eyes and looked straight ahead to see more of those shadow Heartless and some new ones. These were dress in blue jumpsuit with a black heart with red outline in the middle of their chest. Their faces were covered in armor that only shown their yellow eyes and they kept jumping and twitching constantly. Both Sora the others got ready for a fight, but stop mid-step as a orange and black blur shot passed them at insane speeds.
"Gestuga Ken!" Ichigo roared, and slammed his fist into the first Heartless that was stupid enough to get in his way. The deadly blue beam of energy tore through the Heartless and everything that was on its side and behind it. A small explosion occurred and after a few seconds after the smoke clear, they looked to see that Ichigo's attack had tore a huge hole where the door use to be.
Roxas sweat dropped, "You really need to learn how to control your anger Ichigo."
Ichigo snorted, "Just really getting tired of seeing those little bastards where everywhere we go. There just too damn annoy!"
Donald was also getting fed up at seeing so many Heartless. "Heartless, Heartless, Heartless!" he complained. "Things haven't changed one bit!"
"Well, it's a good thing we're on the job then." Goofy said, trying to be optimistic.
"So... the worlds aren't at peace after all?" Sora asked, looking disappointed.
"There's nothing you can do about it but move forward." The three looked over to see Ichigo and Roxas waiting for them. "Let's go you three; we still have to go see this Yen Sid person."
Sora smiled before nodded, he ran to catch up with the two followed by Donald and Goofy. They went through a couple of more doors and portals until they came upon the final portal. This one was different from the others they passed, other than being white like the others this one was pink. They looked at one another before nodded and entering it, once the light faded, Ichigo found himself inside of a office with two huge window behind a desk.
Sitting in the desk chair was a rather severe-looking old man with long, grey hair, bushy eyebrows, and a long, grey beard that parts down the middle. He was wearing a blue pointed hat that sat on stop of his head. The hat is blue and decorated with several yellow stars and a yellow crescent moon. He wears long, billowing blue robes with sky blue lining. The inside of his robes are dark red from the spot where Ichigo could see. The white of his eyes are quite large in comparison to his small pupils, something that is further highlighted by the fact that the old man did not seem to blink at all to Ichigo.
Donald and Goofy saluted the old man before bowing, "Master Yen Sid." Donald greeted, voice filled with pride. "It's an honor."
"Hey there!" Sora acknowledged the wizard with a wave. Both Roxas and Ichigo followed his lead and waved as well.
Goofy appalled at their informality but Donald on the other hand looked angry. "Sora! Roxas Ichigo! Show some respect!" Donald demanded. He quickly pulled both Sora and Roxas into a kneeling position before they were even able to react. He looked over toward Ichigo to do the same thing, but a fist slamming into his head by the orange haired teen stopped him.
Yen Sid chuckled at this, "I see you hate formalities just like my father said you would."
Ichigo looked confused at this, he never thing he met the old man's father before or did he? "I met your father once?" he asked
Yen Sid waved, "That will be explained another time." He told him, "So, you are Sora and Kurosaki Ichigo." he confirmed, "Now then, have you seen the King yet?"
Goofy nodded. "Yes we did, Master. But we didn't get a chance to talk to him."
Yen Sid nodded. "Yes... the King has been quite busy of late." He muttered. "Therefore, it would seem that the task of instructing you five falls upon my shoulders. You have a perilous journey ahead of you. You must be well prepared for the enemies you will face."
Sora blinked, "You mean... we have to go on another quest?" He asked a bit irritated. "I was looking forward to finding my friend Riku, so we could go back to the islands."
The old sorcerer nodded. "Yes, I know. However, everything in your journey Sora is connected. Whether you'll return alone or with your friend, and whether or not the islands will still be there. And the key that connects them all is you Sora."
"I'm... the key?" Sora repeated softly, pointing at himself. He held his hand out as the keyblade appeared in a flash of light.
The old wizard nodded. "You are the key that will open the Door to light." Sora nodded along with Donald and Goofy as well. Ichigo just sighed; he was really getting tired of all these damn riddles everyone was talking in.
Yen Sid chuckled at Ichigo's expression. "Not to worry, Ichigo. You will understand completely why you were chosen soon enough." With a wave of his hand, a book appeared floating over the desk. "This book contains valuable knowledge that you will need on your journey. Study it carefully." The book floated side of the desk and opened up. "Once you are ready, we will discuss the enemies that you will surely confront." They nodded and began to read.
"The Beginning"
Each journey gives rise to change encounters, and each encounter brings forth a farewell. When a farewell leads to a journey, the worlds open their hearts. Those chosen by the light, or ensnared by darkness. Friends who share the same bonds, though their paths may differ. When you doubt the path trod thus far, when the hand you held is lost to you, gaze anew at the heart that once was... for all the answers are within.
Ichigo paused for a moment to think about what he just read. The Beginning of a journey which would lead you down the path of darkness or light. He understood that at least, but what about ones that are both light and dark? He and Roxas are the definition of what that is. So what about their situation? It didn't explain one thing about what their path would lead. He looked over toward Roxas to see him looking at him with the same expression as well. They both nodded to one another before turning their gaze back toward the book.
"Interlude"
A long dream. A sad farewell, hanging in the air in that "world between." What is reality? What is illusion? The path chosen by the young boy leads to his memories. When caught in the stream of the days and nights going past, gaze anew at your steps... for there all confusion.
Roxas looked at the section in wonder, what the book explains was what he was dealing with. These pass memories he's been dealing with every since he gain the keyblade that day. But in every last memory he's had, he's been seeing a blue eyed black haired girl screaming she loved him. What or who was she? And why no matter how hard he tried, couldn't remember a single think about her. He shook his head, before he continued reading along with the others.
"The Future Story"
Will the day come that this battle, born of confusion, will end? It is different things people. Can the reality be that which is hidden? The reason is mere existence. Still, memories can be believed. Be not afraid. Entrust your body to the soothing waves of your memories. By and by, your fleeting rest will be over... and everything will begin.
"But wait a sec..." Sora started. "Why are the heartless still running around?"
"Your past endeavors did prevent an immense effusion of Heartless from the great darkness; make no mistake about that," Yen Sid assured them. "However, the Heartless are darkness made real- and darkness yet lingers in every heart. So long as darkness exists in a single heart, it will be difficult to eliminate them."
Ichigo and Roxas nodded their heads but Sora, Donald, and Goofy slunked their heads. Suddenly, Goofy looked up with a smile on his face. "Gawrsh, that must mean... if everyone's hearts were full of light, the Heartless'd ya disappear!" He said. Sora and Donald nodded in agreement with smile on their faces.
"That's impossible!"
Sora looked behind him to see both Ichigo and Roxas with frowns on their faces. "What do you mean it's impossible?"
"It's impossible Sora because everyone as darkness in their hearts!" Ichigo told him
"That's not true!" Sora protested
"STOP ACTING LIKE A KID!" Ichigo snapped, causing Sora to step back. "You may try and denie it, but everyone as darkness in their hearts. It may be small where no one can detect it, but its still there no matter how much you want to denie it."
'It's true!' Sora said to himself. He knew no matter how much he wanted to denie it that everyone as darkness in their hearts. His friend Riku was a prime example of that! He just wishes that it wasn't true. He himself one time turn into a Heartless to help save Kairi, so he couldn't denie and say that he didn't have darkness either.
"Sorry Ichigo." Sora apologies, feeling quite stupid.
Ichigo smirked, and ruffed Sora's hair. "Don't worry about it Sora, you just made a mistake that's all. Don't worry; you're not the only one that made those mistakes."
Sora removed Ichigo's hand from his head and glared at him before smiling. "Your right!"
"Ichigo!" Said boy turn to see Yen Sid looking at him seriously which confused him. "You speak about darkness like you have it in your heart."
"I do!" Ichigo answered him. Sora, Donald, and Goofy looked at him with wide eyes.
Yen Sid nodded, "How did you obtain it?" he asked
"Have you heard of Hollow's?"
Yen Sid nodded, but Roxas, Sora, Donald and Goofy looked confused. They were lost at what the two were talking about. What was this hollow he was talking about?
Seeing their confusion, Yen Sid began to explain. "You know where Heartless are born from right?"
Sora nodded to this, "Yeah, they come from the darkness that's within every heart."
"Good Sora, but unlike Heartless, Hollow's are a race of creatures which are born from human souls, who for various reasons, do not cross over." He told them. Sora and the others looked at him with wide frightful eyes.
"You mean... their born from our souls?" Sora asked in shock
Yen Sid nodded, "Yes, they are corrupt spirits with supernatural powers that devour the souls of both living and deceased humans." This time, they looked disgusted.
"How do you kill them?" Roxas asked
"They are usually killed by splitting their mask and head in two, but most wounds that would be fatal for a human will effectively dispatch them. When this is done by a Shinigami's Zanpakuto or in your case a keyblade, the hollow is not truly killed; its spirit is purified of the sins it committed as a hollow.-" he was cut off by Sora
"Wait! What is a Shinigami? And a Zanpakuto?" The confused brown haired boy asked. He wasn't the only one that was confused; Roxas, Donald and Goofy were in the same boot.
"Oh, I must have forgotten to explain what those two are." Yen Sid told them, "A shinigami are guardian of the souls who are going through the circle of transmigration. Namely, they are "balancers." They exterminate Hollows who did evil in the worlds of the living; they ensure the safe crossing of the souls-the Pluses who have lost their way after death- by giving them a soul funeral."
Roxas nodded to this, "So their similar to what Keyblade wielders."
Yen Sid nodded, "Yes they are Roxas, they just kill different things but in similar causes."
"It does make sense now," Sora said. Goofy and Donald nodded as well as him. "But what is a Zanpakuto?"
Yen Sid smiled and held his hand, "This is a Zanpakuto Sora." A flash of white light appeared in his had, a second later as it vanished. Sora and the others could see that what laid in his hands was a katana in a blue sheath.
"That's a Zanpakuto?" Sora asked, he scratched the back of his head in confusion. It only looked like a regular sword! What was so special about it?
"How do you have a Zanpakuto?"
Roxas, Sora and the others turn to see Ichigo looking at Yen Sid with a shock look on his face. They looked at him in confusion, what was wrong with him all of a sudden?
"Do you know what a Zanpakuto is Ichigo?" Yen Sid asked
Ichigo nodded, "Yes I do know what they are! I have one myself actually."
Yen Sid looked him over but did not see one on him. "I do not see it my boy, where is it?" her asked
Ichigo looked down at himself to see that he was still in his Crescent Tsuki Kiba form. He looked up and blushed a bit, "Sorry about that, just wait for a second." He closes his eyes and the other watched as he let loose a breath like he was cooling himself down. Suddenly, a blue aura covered his body, covering him from their view.
Sora jumped back a bit, "Wow! What's happening to him?" he asked
"I do not know Sora!" Donald answered him true fully. All he knows was that he could suddenly fill a powerful aura that filled the room.
The blue aura of power faded from view and they could now see that Ichigo was standing looking much different before. His hair was shorter, probably reaching just above his shoulders a bit and his bangs cover his eyebrows and eyes a bit. The top part of his cloths was gone, the only think that was still there was the bottom half. He was well-built and had a huge 'x' shape scar on his chest that made Sora wince. He also seem to have black tattoo's that were around his wrist, and ankles.
A black and white outline guard hat was around his neck, and brown sandal and white socks. But the thing that shocked Sora, Donald, and Goofy the most was the huge trench knife he had leaning on his shoulders. It has a sliver hilt with gray-wrappings and a short length of chain at it's base. The blade was huge, one of the biggest Sora and the others had ever seen, it was curving inwards at the backside of the tip similar to a trench knife. All in all, the huge blade was badass to all of them.
Yen Sid himself stared at Ichigo in amazement. He did not know that the young man before him was a shinigami. He also had never seen before in his life a zanpakuto of that sides, it was one of the biggest ones he seen. He then smirked a bit; this just made his job a whole lot easier than it already was.
"Wow..." Sora was still amazed at seeing the huge blade before him. "That's cool!"
Ichigo smirked; it got that same reaction every time someone saw Zangetsu for the first time. "I know Sora." He looked over toward Yen Sid, "How did you obtain a zanpakuto old man? Are you a shinigami as well?"
Donald and Goofy gasped at Ichigo disrespect. But Yen Sid only laughed at it, "Yes Ichigo! I'm a shinigami just like you are."
Ichigo and the others stared at him in amazement.
"But how?" Ichigo asked in shock.
"I was born a shinigami." Yen Sid said, "But where I got my powers from was from my parents."
"You said I knew your father," Ichigo said. "How do I know him?"
Yen Sid smirked at him which gave Ichigo a very bad feeling all of a sudden. "My father is the founder of the Shinigami Academy and Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13. Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto!"
Ichigo's eyes shot open so fast the others that they would roll completely out. "THAT'S YOUR FATHER!" He shouted in shock. "I can't believe that you're his son."
Yen Sid chuckled, "It may come at a surprise but he is my father."
"Hello," Ichigo and Yen Sid shot their gaze at Sora. "Who is that?"
"He's the most powerful shinigami and the oldest at that." Yen Sid answered him, "He's also one of the co-creators of the Keyblade."
"WHAT!"
All of them stared at him in shock! His father was the man who created the keyblade. How old could he be to have created them? Ichigo was shocked himself that the old man could create the keyblade. But he wouldn't put it pass the old man, he is the creator of many things in Soul Society as it is already.
"Wow.." Sora said in shock. "He must be pretty powerful."
Ichigo snorted at that, "Just letting you know Sora. You and me would last that long in a fight against him if he really took us seriously." If he was still in his Dangai state he could probably go head to head with the old man. But even with that, he still didn't know if he could win.
Sora gulps at that before chuckling nervously. He made a mentally note that if he ever meet the old man to never get on the old man's bad side ever. "I'll be sure to do that." he said with a nervous chuckle.
"A zanpakuto and a Keyblade are very similar," Yen Sid explain to them. "Centuries ago, the Keyblade was born form a Zanpakuto."
"That amazing!" Donald muttered. Learning the history of a keyblade was non short of amazing and prideful to him.
Yen Sid nodded, "A Zanpakuto is a weapon or soul cutter as its other name that is use by shinigami. Unlike Keyblades, they are born within a shinigami's soul and only can be used by that said user. Because they are part of their owner's soul, a Zanpakuto cannot be replaced, though it will slowly regenerate if it is broken. They are also living beings that live within their wielders soul when born."
Sora and the others, not including Ichigo nodded to this, still amazed at this. They never would have thought that they had another weapon that was even more powerful then the keyblade itself. They looked at Ichigo and wonder if all zanpakuto's came like is, but then looked over towards Yen Sid that confirmed that it didn't
"Well, does ever zanpakuto come like yours and Ichigo's?" Roxas asked
Yen Sid shook his head, "No! A zanpakuto's shape will resemble a sword of any kind. They change form once the shinigami learn the name of it," He explained to them
"What happen when a shinigami learn its name?" Donald asked
"Depending upon the wielder's ability to communicate with and control their Zanpakuto's spirit, a Zanpakuto can manifest itself in two additional forms and revert to a sealed state. These two forms, known as Shikai and Bankai, are akin to "upgrades" for the Zanpakuto, giving it abilities far beyond that of its simple use as a sword. Shinigami usually carry their Zanpakuto in the sealed state and activate the released forms as necessary." Yen Sid explained
"What are Shikai and Bankai, Master?" Goofy asked
"All Zanpakuto have two levels of release. The first one is Shikai (Initial release) and the second and final is Bankai (Final Release). The power and forms of Shikai and Bankai are dependent on the Zanpakuto. They also vary according to the wielder's strength and training." Yen Sid explained. Goofy and the others nodded in understanding.
"If that's true, did you learn both already Master?" Goofy asked in wonder. The others were also wondering the same thing.
Yen Sid smiled, "Yes Goofy! I have mastered both Shikai and Bankai." he told them, he then looked over toward Ichigo. "Have you as well my boy?"
Ichigo nodded, "Yeah I unlocked both already. But my zanpakuto is always in its Shikai state because of my large amounts of reaitsu."
Yen Sid nodded before vanishing his zanpakuto in a flash of light. "Now that that's finish, lets speak of the enemies you will encounter." he said. With a wave of his hand, a beam of light appeared on the floor next to them. An image of Donald appeared, making the real said duck jump in surprise. The image then suddenly transformed into a Shadow Heartless. "If one such as you Donald yields to the darkness in their heart, they too will become a Heartless. But you know this."
"Aww..." Donald sighed, annoyed at being used as an example.
"The Heartless are always and ever seeking to capture new hearts." Yen Sid told them. "Never let your guard down! Now then..." He waved his hand once more and an image of a slivery creature appeared next to the Heartless. Both Ichigo and Roxas eyes narrowed at seeing it. "At times, if someone with a strong heart and will- be they evil or good becomes a Heartless, the empty shell they leave behind begins to act with a will of its own." The Heartless image faded away. "An empty vessel whose heart has been stolen away... a spirit that goes on even as its body fades from existence- for you see, Nobodies do not truly exist at all. They may seem to have feelings, but this is a ruse- they only pretend to have hearts. You must not be deceived!" he told them. Sora, Donald and Goofy were wide eye, but Ichigo and Roxas were glaring at him.
"Nobodies..." Sora whispered. "They don't exist..." Suddenly two more Nobodies appeared next to the original.
"But do not believe that all Nobodies are like this." Yen Sid smile, he looked at Roxas who was now looking at him with shocked eyes. "They are some that do have feelings and maybe even hearts has well."
Roxas hand instantly went to his chest, if what Master Yen Sid said was true. Then he too could have a heart, he felt joy from that. But maybe over this journey at learning of his memories, he will finally find his own heart someday. He looked up at Ichigo to see him smirking at him; he could tell that Ichigo felt happy for both him and Namine. Sora, Donald, and Goofy nodded, understanding what the old master was telling them.
"Now then... the beings see before you are known as a Dusk." Yen Sid told them. "They are the most common form of nobody. The nobodies can plan, while the Heartless act on instinct. They are a much more dangerous force, and they will all try to do you harm. They are just like Hollow's but a Hollow's act on instinct as well, making them far more dangerous because they can also plan as well." The images of the Dusks turned into three hooded figures. "Now these powerful Nobodies form a group called Organization XII. It commands the lesser Nobodies."
They all suddenly heard a growl and looked behind them to see Ichigo glaring at the three hooded figures. He had a enrage look in his eyes and Sora could swear he could see Ichigo's eyes bleeding black. Yen Sid saw this as well and narrowed his eyes a bit.
"Do you know who this is Ichigo?" Yen Sid asked
Ichigo nodded, the glare still edge on his face. "Yeah, I know who these damn bastards are. They call themselves Organization XII! They came to my world and kidnapped my sisters." The blackness in his eyes increased. "I swear when I found those bastards, they will be nothing left of those them in this universe or any world at that."
The way he said that threat made Sora, Donald, and Goofy shivered. Ichigo was really on keeping his promise about wiping every member of the Organization out. Sora could feel his pain; he too felt the same anger when he found out that Kairi was kidnapped by Ansem.
"Did you fight any of them?" Yen Sid asked
Ichigo nodded, "I fought three of them at the same time while the other two held my sisters capture." He then scowled himself, "If I didn't act to arrogant and used my Bankai. Then maybe my sisters wouldn't have been kidnapped."
'So that's why.' Roxas looked at his friend in sadness. So both of them had things they didn't want to share with each other. He will make sure to help Ichigo to find his sister and wipe those Organization bastards out for what they done.
"It seems that Organization XII is working toward a goal, what that goal is I do not know..." Yen Sid said, holding his head at the last part. The images disappeared, breaking them out of their train of thoughts. "Now then, let's talk about your part in this journey Ichigo."
Donald looked at Ichigo, who turned face, the wizard. "Yeah, why are you here?"
Ichigo glared at him, "Who asked you talking duck? Why don't you go do something useful and go quack like a duck suppose to."
Donald glared at Ichigo for the insult, while the other chuckled. Hearing them, Donald turn to face them, "That's not FUNNY!" He protested.
"Well, to me it is." Roxas said between chuckles
"You have three duties that you must fulfill. You must protect the Seven Princesses of Hearts, and defeat whatever comes out of the door if both the Door to Light and Door to Darkness is open at the same time." Yen Sid told him, "And last is to find those who are lost..."
"Those... you mean there are other's lock in the Darkness?" Ichigo asked him
The old wizard/shinigami nodded. "Ones who is lost in darkness, ones who have been consumed by it, and ones who must have their heart returned to them." Yen Sid hinted. Sora, Donald, Goofy and Roxas just looked between the two in confusion. "You must choose to go with them, Ichigo or go on your own journey. And try to find what you are looking for." Ichigo nodded, "The King has sensed the dangers, form the Realm of Darkness keyblade, and journeyed forth to fight it. He went out, traveling from world to world, fighting the Heartless while trying to solve the riddle of the Nobodies and Organization XII."
"Then the first thing we need to do is find him!" Sora figured. "He should know where Riku is, too. They were together when we closed the Door to Darkness. I mean, after we defeated Ansem."
Yen Sid nodded and gestured them to the door beside them. "You'll need some new traveling clothes. Those... look a bit small on you Sora." He said. Sora looked over himself over, finding his clothes indeed were too small. "Through that door, you'll find three good fairies. If you ask, they'll make you new clothes."
'He has fucking fairies living with him! What else doesn't he have in this damn tower of is?' Ichigo wonder, groaning to himself. Some might thing he should be use to it now, but he still wasn't because new things just kept popping up.
"Yep, you are growing fast, Sora." Goofy said with a chuckle
Ichigo snorted, "I know your nu-"
"SHUT UP ICHIGO!"
Ichigo laughed and enter into the room where Yen Sid directed them followed by Sora, Donald, and Goofy. The only one that stayed behind was Roxas who had his gaze locked on the old wizards back.
"Why didn't you tell Sora, Donald, and Goofy that I was a Nobody?" Roxas asked
"Because it wasn't I who is suppose to tell them." Yen Sid answered him. "You may not worry Roxas; I do not care if you're a Nobody. Just make sure to choose the path you wish to follow, and follow it all the way through with both your heart and soul."
Roxas smiled and nodded, before racing off to catch up with the others. Yen Sid smiled at him before turning his gaze back out the window, thinking about the many things that will come.
Fairies Room...
Roxas entered the room to see Ichigo and the other staring at three fairies that were constantly talking to one another. He walked forward and stopped next to the others to get a closer look at them. They were closely around the same height and were floating in the air. He looked over toward Ichigo to see the orange haired teen looking at the three in amazement. He sweat dropped at that.
Roxas took a step forward and cleared his throat. It caught the fairies attention and made them turn to face them. "Um... are you three the fairies that Master Yen Sid told us about?" he asked them
The red one step forward, "Why, yes we are young man." She replied. She seems to be in between the other two in terms of weight and dresses in a red dress and cape, with a gold skirt under the dress with gold cuffs. Her cape is secured by a rectangular, gold broach. Her wings are small, triangular, and have a faint, red tint. Her hat is also red, and cloth wrapped around in gold. "My name is Flora and these are my sisters, Fauna and Merryweather."
Fauna is the thinnest of the group, and wears a green cape, a lighter green dress, and an even lighter green skirt under the dress. She fastens her cape with a triangular, green broach. Her hat is green and the cloth wrapped around it is pale green. Her wings are small, triangular, and have a faint green tint.
Merryweather is the most heavy-set of the three, and dresses in a dark blue cape, a blue dress, and a light blue skirt under the dress. Her cape is secured by a blue, circular broach. Her hat is blue and wrapped in a light blue cloth. Each sister had huge smiles on their faces as their stared at the five before them.
"You five must be Sora, Donald, Goofy, Ichigo, and Roxas." As she said this, she bowed to them in greeting.
"If you came for some new clothes, you've come to the right place," Merryweather said as she and Flora floated over to them.
"I'll do the designing," Fauna said cheerfully
Flora and Merryweather walked over to Sora. Fauna used her wand, which made Sora's clothes turn green, to the others and Sora's amazement. "Oh! That will never do," Merryweather said. She then also used her wand to change Sora's outfit blue.
"Now girls!" Flora said and did the same thing as her sisters, turning Sora's outfit red this time. They began squabbling as they fought over whose color would look better on Sora.
Ichigo along with Roxas and Sora were getting irritated. "Would you three just decide?" They cried in unison.
The three fairies chuckled nervously at that. "Alright girls, and no more squabbling." The three fairies waved their wands and the three beams of colored light slammed into Sora. When they made contact with his clothes, a bright flash of light appeared; making the others shut their eyes.
When the light died down, they opened them to look at Sora's new set of clothes. Ichigo nodded his head in improvement. "Much better than those tight clothes you had on."
Sora's outfit had considerably changed it now as a black and silver outfit, baggy shorts and smaller sets of shoes that were colored yellow and black. It as many zippers and extra leggings but still retains his crown necklace. On each pants leg, he as huge red pockets with black 'x' marks on the top and held onto his pants by yellow straps. All in all, it was way better than is first outfit he was wearing in both Ichigo and Roxas point of view.
"Oh my!" Flora said in awe as Sora looked over his clothes, also in awe.
"What a charming outfit!" Merryweather complimented
"Looks good man." Roxas said with a smirk. Flora then turns to Ichigo
"Would you like us to give you a new outfit as well, Roxas?" She asked catching the others attention.
Roxas looked himself over, to see all the holes and tear marks he received in battle before arriving at the tower. He chuckled, "If you don't mind that is."
"It's no trouble lad!" Merryweather said. Her and her sister all through similar beams of light towards Roxas causing a bright light. Once the light faded Sora, Donald and Goofy looked at Roxas new outfit in awe. Ichigo whistled, impressed at what he sees.
Roxas is now wearing a midnight black short-sleeved shirt under a dark sliver-blue long sleeve hood jacket. On the back of the jacket, Oblivion and Oathkeeper were cross in a 'x' shape fashion with a heart just in the middle. He had long baggy short pants they were held up by two black belts in another 'x' shaped fashion. Same colored high top shoes as his cloths, and they were small and very similar to some that were in Ichigo's world. Fingerless gloves that match is outfit as well, Roxas removed the hood that covered most of his face and stared at his cloths in awe.
"Damn! Now I really like those." Ichigo complimented, impressed at what he saw.
Sora held his head down in disappointment. "Aww man! Why couldn't my cloths be like that?"
Roxas chuckled, "Tough luck man."
"Step forward Ichigo, your next to change into some new cloths." Fauna said, all three sisters blushed at seeing Ichigo's well muscular chest.
"Okay girls! The last one." Three beams shot towards Ichigo creating a bright light. Once it died down, the other looked in awe and Sora held his head down even more.
Ichigo looked down at his cloths and nodded his head, a smirk adored his face. Gone was his shinigami shihakusho, he now wore cloths similar to Roxas, only a bit different. Unlike Roxas dark sliver-blue color, his was all black with blood red out lining. He wore a blood red muscle shirt that showed a bit of his muscular chest and shoulders. He still had the neck guard and 'x' shaped guards that protected him, but they were now blood red and black.
He wore baggy jeans that were held up by to blood red belts in a 'x' shaped fashion, his shoes were also black with blood red lining. His rosary strap was inside of his jacket, that just like Roxas, stopped at his waist with long-sleeves and s large enough hood to cover his whole face from view. On his back, Zangetsu was strapped in white bandages, and if they looked closely, they could see a large red crescent moon on the back of the jacket. Fingerless black and blood red gloves that had red crescent moons on the top of them. The others just looked at him in awe, very impressed at what they saw.
"Nice, Ichigo!" Roxas said with a smirk
"Yeah! You look really good in those cloths." Merryweather complimented him
Ichigo nodded the smirk still on his face. "I like them a lot!" He turn toward the three fairies and bowed. Seeing this, Sora and Roxas followed his example. "Thank you very much for the cloths!" The three said unison.
The three fairies giggled, "It's no problem you three! We enjoyed helping you."
"Oh, and before we forget, Sora and Roxas can you come over here for a second?" Fauna asked the two. The two looked at each other before nodding and walking forward.
"Now these aren't ordinary clothes you two are wearing. They will repair themselves after a battle you'll have face, you two." Flora informed the two. Both she and Merryweather waved their wands, which made two yellow orbs appear in front of them. "Now touch the orbs, you two." Sora and Roxas paused for a second before grabbing the two orbs.
"And watch what happens!" Merryweather finished. The two waited for a moment before both of their outfits burst into a shower of light. When the light died down, their outfits were now a bright red. Another thing was that both boys had another keyblade in their left hands. Sora had a blue sea like keyblade that curved into a circle at the end and held a circle like star in the middle.
Roxas, in his right hand was Oblivion, but in his left was a long sliver keyblade. It was long and heavy like, but Roxas seem to be able to hold it with no problem. The guard was a dark grey, and the tip was long a curved like a blade and two others, but still represented like a key. Both Roxas and Sora looked over themselves, and nodded in approval.
"Alright!" Sora said in excitement at seeing the second keyblade. He then turns to look at Roxas with a smug grin. "I can use two keyblades like you now!"
Flora turned toward Roxas in shock, "Is it true, dear." She asked him. Roxas nodded his head, "You truly are something special, dear." She said shaking her head.
Roxas smirked, "Thanks!"
"This journey will be twice as difficult as your last." Merryweather warned them, causing Sora, Donald and Goofy to slump over.
"Your garments also have other powers," Flora told Sora and Roxas. "But you'll have to discover what they are as you continue on your journey." She looked at Ichigo, "We thought that sense you already had your zanpakuto, that you didn't need this. Your cloths though could still repair themselves though." Ichigo nodded to her in thanks
Sora nodded, still grinning over his new powers. "Okay, I'll do my best!" He said happily as his clothes reverted back to normal. "And thanks a lot!"
Roxas smirked at them, his own cloths fading to their original color. "We'll make sure we do that."
"Oh, and there's something else for you!" Fauna remembered suddenly, "From Master Yen Sid."
Donald looked on in excitement; he looked at Goofy to see he had the same look in his eyes. "Oh boy!" They shouted in unison.
"Let's go see what the old man wants." Ichigo said, still smirking.
Donald shot the orange haired teen a annoyed look. "Show some respect!"
"Kiss my ass!"
Yen Sid's Office...
The five walked back into the office to see Yen Sid staring out of a window. In the next window, they spotted a large orange and yellow ship floating outside the second window. Ichigo looked at the thing in confusion; he had never seen a ship like that before in his life. He really wonders what the hell it was for. Yen Sid spotted them and gestured them over toward the front of his desk.
"Hey!" Donald exclaimed, catching sight of the ship. "It's the Gummi Ship!"
"Sweet!" Sora cheered. "You guys ready to go?" He looked back to see Donald and Goofy nod to him.
"Now, just a moment you three!" The old wizard/shinigami interrupted them, making them fall over. "Because of your previous endeavors, the worlds have returned to their original states. That means the pathways between them have disappeared." He told them as they pick themselves up
"Then, how do we get around to other worlds?" Donald asked
"Do not fear." Yen Sid said. "If what the King suspected proves true, the worlds have prepared new pathways along which you may travel. These pathways may be utilized by unlocking special gates. How these gates are opened, I'm afraid I do not know... However, the keyblade will serve as your guides. When a beam of light radiates from the keyblades, return to the Gummi Ship." He told them which they nodded to. Ichigo and Roxas just looked confused. "Though the worlds may seem far apart and out of reach, they nonetheless remain connected by invisible ties. As do our hearts.
"And our souls." Ichigo interrupted causing Yen Sid to smile and nod.
"You are right Ichigo, are hearts and souls." Yen Sid said
Sora nodded, "Got it!"
"But be warned!" Yen Sid said. "As you proceed... The Heartless and Nobodies will be using their own paths; Corridors of Darkness, to travel from world to world. They may be attempting to link these dark pathways to the gates between worlds."
"Hey!" Donald complained. "That's not fair!"
"Life's not fair duck!" Ichigo told him which Donald glared at him for. "Get over there and go get in the damn ship!"
"Go forth, Sora, Donald, and Goofy. Everyone is waiting!" Yen Sid instructed them
Sora, Donald and Goofy snapped to attention. "Master Yen Sid!" Donald started
"We sure do appreciate the help." Goofy finished as he saluted him, before running after Sora and Donald. The only ones left are Ichigo, Roxas and Yen Sid
"Are you going to travel with Sora and the others you two?" Yen Sid asked
Ichigo smirked, "We'll go with them to one world then go are on ways next." He looked at Roxas who was also smirking. "We have our own journey we want to travel and our own destiny to complete."
Yen Sid nodded, "That's your decision. Now go forth you two and be careful out there."
Ichigo and Roxas waved to him, "Don't have to worry old man! We can take care of ourselves."
Yed Sid laughed and watched the two jumps into the ship, he watch carefully as they took off into the sky above. He hopes those five will be safe and careful on their journey. He then smirked at the two he just finished meeting, the worlds they visited will be in for a hell of a ride dealing with them.
Fairies Room...
"WHAT'S THAT?" Merryweather shouted as the three fairies looked out the window. A black crow cawed at them before he flew toward them with a black cloak in its claws. The crow let go of the cloak and flew back out of the window, leaving the cloak behind.
The three fairies looked at the cloak. To them, it looked oddly familiar. "Have we seen this before?" Fauna asked, staring at the black cloak.
"It does look awfully familiar," Flora said and study the cloak more closely
Merryweather gasped as she remembered somethin, "Malefi-" She began but stopped herself before she was able to finish
"No, no, we mustn't remember her name," Flora told her sister. "Oh dear..."
"She sure was a mean old witch," Merryweather said then held her head. Memories started to flow into each sister's head. "Oh, no! The memories are coming back! What do we do? Oh, what do we do?"
The cloak began to move and rise into the air. The fairies became worried as they looked on. "We must tell Master Yen Sid," Fauna said to the others
"Yes, that's what we must do!" Flora said in agreement. She and Fauna ran to the door and disappeared in sparkly light of their colors.
Merryweather was left behind, watching in horror as the cloak continued to rise and took form of a being her and her sisters never wanted to see again. "Maleficent!" She cried in fear before running to the door and disappearing in the same fashion as her sisters.
Fair and green-skinned, Maleficent's shining, yellow eyes are heavy shadowed with violet make-up and her lips are painted red. This dark witch's head is topped with a black-horned headdress and she wears a long, tattered black robe with a purple trim and maroon flare edges. Along with these other physical descriptions and the fin-like spikes on the sides of her neck further towards something.
The spike along with the collar of her robe creates an upside-down pentagram. She carries a staff with a glowing green orb at the tip through which she casts her spells. On her ring finger, she wore a golden ring with a circular black stone in it. Maleficent looks around before she reels her head back and laugh
"I'm back!" She said joyfully, evil intent edge in every word. "I'm finally back!"
