Netherworld Lights
Chapter Four: 13th Struggle
Crystal Fissure
"Found something!" Sora cried from in front of his two friends. Donald glanced to Goofy, then nodded as they both rushed to join up with Sora.
It had been over an hour of searching for the duck that stolen Scrooge McDuck's money so the three were desperate for any clue as to what happened to the stubby, angry fiend. Donald eagerly approached the brunette teen, asking, "What is it! What'd you find?"
Sora grinned smugly, "Only this..." Pointing with his gloved hand down to the ground where several pieces of munny lay. Not only was it munny, it seemed to be a solid trail of the currency. Donald scratched his head as he picked up one of the coins, Sora sighed, "What do you think?"
"I'd say that munny was burning a hole in our thief's pocket, literally. Hyak!" Laughed the guard leaning down to collect several of the coins himself.
"Or... it's a trap." Donald suggested, "The trail starts here... I doubt that bag of munny would just now start leaking munny..."
Sora shrugged, "If it is a trap, that would be prett-y-y-y lame. But either way it'll lead us to the guy with Scrooge's munny. Right?"
All three of them nodded in unison. Donald took ahead of the bunch collecting the coins from the trail while Goofy pulled out an open coin purse to collect them with. Sora focused on the path ahead, hoping that this NegaDuck was really not a friend of Malificent, or any other of the groups enemies.
Hall of Empty Melodies
The battlefield was covered in water and scorch marks. In the midst of the empty room, on the tiled flooring, lay Demyx and NegaDuck both exhausted. NegaDuck's face covered in perspiration, his weapon behind him on the ground, he sighed, "What a fight..."
"No joke... for a beginner..." Demyx stopped mid-sentence, leaning up from his sprawled position on the tile to look at NegaDuck, "You could give those three a run for their munny! I think..."
"Of course, I can!" NegaDuck replied heatedly, "I could've with or without training!"
Demyx sighed, "Modest, aren't you? I guess it's a Beserker thing."
"Speaking of which, where did old Scars run off it, not to mention Xigbar..." NegaDuck tried not to sound too suspecting but he knew better than to completely trust strangers, even those who helped him.
"Oh..." Demyx nervously hesitated, "Säix went to see the Superior..."
NegaDuck narrowed his eyes, knowing now that the Nobody was hiding something. NegaDuck, usually a very direct duck, began to question to the whereabouts of Xigbar once more, but the young Nobody interrupted saying, "Aren't you hungry?"
Before NegaDuck could protest Demyx grabbed ahold of the duck's arm pulling him off the saturated battlefield floor, towards the large double doors at the end of the room.
The Kitchen That Never Was
Luxord dashed from the kitchen, his finest set of poker cards trailing along through the air after him. In his hands the gambler held tightly a sloppily constructed sandwich. "Freedom!" He shouted at the top of his lungs as he skidded to a halt in the middle of the hallway, raising the sandwich high into the air. Suddenly a spear came flying from the kitchen, implanting itself in the wall beside Luxord. The gambler yelped until he realized the shear missed, then taunted towards the kitchen, "Good try, old chap, but we can't win all of the time, right?"
A second spear flew, landing straight through Luxord's sandwich, pulling it from his hands and pinning it to a wall. Luxord snarled, his victory snuffed out, "Ruffian! The Superior will hear of this!"
Luxord stomped away, leaving the shear and his sandwich pierced to the wall. As he left, he saw Demyx and another walking towards him. Giving the other Nobody an annoyed glance as he passed by, "Beware, Demyx, it's Xaldin's day in the kitchen. So, you'd best just wait for dinner yourself..."
"What happen, Luxord, lose another sandwich?" Demyx questioned, out of the corner of his eye he winked at NegaDuck, "We'll get you one, won't we NegaDuck?"
The gambler growled, marching off in a distraught manner, his cards circling around his head as he did. Calling back, "You don't stand a chance, Demyx! You couldn't even stand up to Vexen let alone Xaldin."
Demyx was hurt by this comment it seemed, muttering underneath his breath, "Ice and water don't do battle very well, that's all..."
NegaDuck stared at the pouting Nobody for a moment before rolling his eyes. "This guy, Xaldin, can't be that bad."
"Well... I don't know. I think we can take him out, if we work out a plan that is." Demyx drew a fist as he headed for the door of the kitchen. Leaning over to peer into the kitchen without being spotted Demyx watched the long haired Nobody inside, Xaldin twirl around the kitchen with a set of butcher knives. As NegaDuck joined him Demyx let a droplet of sweat form on his face, "We have nothing to worry about. I'll distract him with my water sprites and you hit the refrigerator, okay?"
NegaDuck narrowed his eyes, "So, what about the spears? He throw that?" Pointing to the one on the wall with the sandwich still pinned underneath it.
"Well, sort of. He really... doesn't throw them. They move on their own, from his will-power. But anyhow, here I go." Demyx quickly entered the kitchen before NegaDuck could complain or question the safety of the mission they were undertaking. The mullet haired Nobody approached Xaldin, waving his hands in the air, "Hey, Xaldin, kitchen duties again?"
"Yup. Get out." Xaldin didn't look up from his task of peeling potatoes.
"But I was just checking what you were fixing..." Demyx made a motion to NegaDuck to enter not looking away from Xaldin.
Xaldin glanced up for a minute, "You makin' fun of me?"
"N-no. I was being honest."
NegaDuck entered the room, keeping below the eye-level of the tall, dark-haired Nobody that was peeling potatoes, inching towards the back wall of the kitchen where the refrigerator lay. The duck paused for a moment to watch the nervous Demyx talking to the other member of his team. The cunning NegaDuck had no trouble making his way through the kitchen without a sound. Yet as he neared the goal he realized something was following him. Turning about NegaDuck found himself being hovered over by three lances. Swallowing the duck backed away from the spears only to realize they were in pusuit of him. NegaDuck slowly pulled out the TroubleMaker, keeping it in front of him as he watched the lances hover over his head. Seeing out of the corner of his eyes that three more were hovering by Demyx, NegaDuck scowled whispering lowly, "So much for this being easy."
NegaDuck backed his way towards the refrigerator, one hand behind him searching for the handle. He didn't know what was inside, but he hoped something in the appliance would be enough to sustain him through the fight with Sora, Donald and Goofy. As his fingers coiled around the handle of the door NegaDuck heard Demyx shout, "Look out!"
He was already aware of what was going on, NegaDuck dodged out of the way as the three spears jabbed at him. Raising the hammer high into the air NegaDuck got ready for the lances next attack. Demyx on the other hand was already summoning his water forms, they came springing up from the floor. Xaldin wasn't one to take the attacks lightly, all six lances began to whirl through the air. The spears began to fly through the air after NegaDuck again, he had little option but to fight them back with his own weapon - or dodge them which seemed not to work as well, because they would swim through the air behind him and attack once more. NegaDuck struck two of the spears down, going back to the refrigerator quickly.
"You're persistent aren't you?" Xaldin laughed, sending the other three spears after NegaDuck. Xaldin himself began to fight off the water forms, sending them back into the puddles they began as. Demyx shot a jet of water towards the other nobody in response to his water forms being destroyed. Neither of the Nobodies looked defeated, both were smiling broadly to one another.
NegaDuck fought back the spears, opening the doors of the refrigerator in a flash and grabbing the first two things he saw: which happened to be a pizza box and a box of what looked to be noodles. Leaving the doors open, NegaDuck backed away from his goal, satisfied he had done a well job at defending himself. Behind him however three more lances began to group, leaving NegaDuck wondering if he should've gotten a smaller prize to run away with. In a last ditch effort NegaDuck threw the pizza box towards Demyx, calling out to the Nobody, as he tucked the other box underneath his arm and began to fight once more.
The Great Maw
Sora and the others had reached the end of the munny trail. Standing in the middle of the great and wide empty valley they stood wondering why the munny had ended. Sora had the itching feeling that this had indeed been a trap, a poorly constructed one, but they were left in the open of this valley waiting for whatever waited to attack.
"Sora!" Goofy called, pointing to a dark cloud forming just behind them. The three began to gear up for battle watching the darkness swirl before their eyes and a form appear from the clouds.
The Sharp-Shooter came out of the hole, Xigbar looked at the three with a wide smile, "Well, well... even knowing it was a trap you still came?"
"Organization thirteen!" Sora cried, tightening his hold on the Keyblade. "What do you want? You aren't helping out that NegaDuck guy, are you?"
"Me, help out a Somebody? We Nobodies are pretty selfish, right? I mean, I gave you all of the stolen munny back, right?" Laughed the Nobody, "All I want in exchange is a little entertainment, that's all."
"I can hardly believe that! What is it you're really up to?" Sora exclaimed as he narrowed his eyes at the Organization member. "Where'd that NegaDuck guy go? What'd you do to him?"
"You're worried about him? Well, he's been given a little help, since you heroes like to beat up on Somebodies without power I figured making it fair was the least I can do." Xigbar snapped his fingers as he did another dark cloud of smoke appeared beside him. It looked like a portal, "Isn't that right, NegaDuck?"
Nothing happened. Donald watched the portal for a moment before asking, "Did you make him invisible?"
Sora crossed his arms, holding in laughter. Goofy just looked confused.
"NegaDuck?" Xigbar said again, this time more questioning. Tapping his foot on the ground the Nobody walked over to the portal he created. Poking his head inside to look at the Hall of Empty Melodies. He saw neither Demyx or NegaDuck. Thinking for a moment, he warped the portal to another location (and another until he found the two he was searching for). Shouting at Demyx and NegaDuck: "All right, dudes! That's not cool! You totally bashed by cool introduction!"
Realizing he was in the middle of a battlefield Xigbar snarled, looking at NegaDuck running amuck through the kitchen with spears following him and Demyx fighting back Xaldin. "End this in ten minutes, or I'm comin' back here and stopping it myself."
"Yes, mother!" Demyx cried before Xigbar disappeared.
Sora, Donald and Goofy gave the Nobody a questioning look. Xigbar shook his head, "Sorry about that dudes, you can wait right?"
"Oh brother..." Donald exclaimed, slapping his forehead.
Author's note: To answer the pressing question about when Darkwing and the others are going to be entering my fanfiction. Netherworld Lights is a prequel to a larger fanfiction I plan on doing with more disney characters in it. Darkwing and the others are going to be featured in that, along with the Fearsome Five. Please be patient with me, this is only an introduction piece to a probably longer fiction about Darkwing and Sora saving King Mickey's Disney Castle. (Not to give away too much!) I hope that doesn't disappoint anyone, and thanks again for reading! -
