Chapter 3
"But you don't understand! This is my son! Even if he could become a keyblade master, he's my son! You can't just take away my son!"
"Maim; I have no choice. His training must begin now!"
"Training for what? You've already eliminated the threat!"
"But what if there's another threat?"
"What? What other threat could there be?"
"Dimitri…"
"Stop!"
"Dimitri!"
"STOP! You can't do this! STOP!"
"Dimitri! DIMITRI!"
"Dimitri! Wake up!" I heard. I was being shaken. I opened my eyes to find Master Sora atop me.
"Dimitri? Are you okay? You were out for a good twelve hours straight." He asked. Me? Master Sora sounds more troubled than anyone else, if you ask me.
"Uhm…Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine. Just tired. I adjourned the meeting; just as you requested me to."
"Good. How did that go?"
"Not good. As usual, Fai-Lynn was…well Fai-Lynn for lack of better terms."
"Did you manage to brief everyone about it?"
"Yes." I say short.
"And if you will get off me, I'll explain it to you." I continue.
Master Sora giggled slightly. He still has his sense of humor, to my surprise. He pulled himself off me, helped me to my feet, and sat me in my chair; the main chair of the gummi ship I must add. He then sat on the floor in front of me. Even being my master, he is still selfless to me. I can't say I would be the same, come to think about it. I can't stop thinking about the respect I have for him.
"So help me understand. Explain how the meeting went." He said. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I feel powerful with my master sitting lower than I am.
"I followed your directions…somewhat…" I let my voice trail off.
"What do you mean? Dimitri, you did tell them, right?"
"Yeah; Yeah I told them…but I somewhat lied and left some things out." I said quietly.
"You did what? Why did you do that?" He asked. Why am I so afraid of getting in trouble? Yes. It's Sora; my master. But, he's one of my best friends, along with Rai and Siri. He won't get mad at me.
"And why are you talking so quietly? I'm not gonna blow up at you or anything. I know I sound serious, but I don't mean to scare you. He continued. Well, at least I can be sure about it, I think. I trust him at the moment.
"Well, I explained it. But, I left out the new keyblade part and the attack that I did. And, I warned them about the new Alpha Dark."
"But, why did you leave all of that out? I don't understand?"
"I mostly left it out due to Fai-Lynn."
"What does that mean?" Sora asked. Uh oh. He sounds mad now…
"How about we look at the recording of the meeting. You'll understand a lot more once you've seen the recording."
"Fine; sounds good to me. That we will do. Alvin, lower the white screen and play the recording of the meeting from last night." Sora said. He sounds so commanding, like he is in control of the ship. Well, I guess he is, but still, it's bothersome that he is giving the commands to my ship master, who obeyed Master Sora without a word, which is unusual as Alvin always responds when obeying orders, no matter who it is. Do I sense fear out of Alvin for Master Sora
Before Sora even finished giving the command, the windshield was missing and in its place was the large screen I used last night to have the meeting with. I reached over, and grabbed the remote control to turn the power on, meanwhile I'm second guessing myself the whole time. What if he doesn't like how I ran the meeting? Heck, how could he like how I ran the meeting? I escalated it to a screaming match, more than anything else. Of course he isn't going to agree with how I ran it.
It starts with Fai-Lynn before I even open my mouth trying to give me crap, and get me in trouble. She automatically starts screaming at me for no apparent reason other than having a quick meeting. Then when I explain why Master Sora wasn't present, and I was in charge, I noticed something this time that I hadn't noticed yet before. I was so busy trying to rush through the meeting before Master Sora arrived that I hadn't even noticed that when I said I was in charge, she bursts out laughing uncontrollably before getting seriously angry asking me why I was left in charge. I also noticed that when she did that, everyone else in the meeting rolled their eyes, and shook their head in embarrassment; including me.
Fai-Lynn then goes on to poke her webcam violently as she blurts out the fact that I wasn't running the meeting right. She was right; I wasn't running the meeting in full, formal format. But, that gives no reason to poke at your webcam violently to the point where you could break it. I mean, all I did was reword the commands, and leave some words out of commands. It wasn't like I was skipping entire steps or anything.
When I screamed at her, and gave her the final warning, she proceeded to laugh out loud again. Then I happened to look over at Siri and Rai and both were mouthing something to it looked like me. I can't exactly tell what their mouths were saying but I think Rai was mouthing "Bullshit" to me or something in that manner. If I had to guess, it had looked like Siri was mouthing "Disconnect the bitch", but I couldn't tell. Wow, do my friends really have that graphic of language?
After I threatened Fai-Lynn with getting her in trouble with Master Sora and King Mickey, her facial expression in whole changed. Heck, her whole personality changed automatically. She went from this freaking know it all to this chicken look, and her face had the classic "Please don't tell Mommy!" look to it; man I wasn't paying much attention at all during the meeting it seems.
When Rai said she was present to herself, I noticed Fai-Lynn again going to say something, but Siri simultaneously mouthed something at Fai-Lynn, and she backed off immediately. It was obvious this time what Siri had mouthed. It had the appearance of "Don't you dare interrupt again, bitch." Dain it Siri! Why couldn't you of watched your language? Master Sora is over here with his mouth wide open in shock because of your word choice!
After I sighed when I said present, Master Sora paused the video and looked over at me.
"So, from the very beginning, the meeting wasn't organized. Did you not notice any of this during the meeting itself?" he asked. He is disappointed in me; the opposite of what I was hoping for…
"No. No I didn't. Most of what I'm seeing here is new to me too."
"Why weren't you paying attention?"
"I was rushing so that I would have it done before you returned!"
"Obviously, you were. And why did you sigh when you said present?"
"Because I don't like my last name." I answered. Sora shook his head. Whoops…
"Let's continue." He said as he pushed play again.
"Sierus LeBonyez"
"Present…"
""Hey Siri, are you okay?
""Yeah. I'm just tired. That's all. Continue with the meeting." Pause went the video again.
"What was wrong with Siri?"
"I don't know. That's why I asked. He was probably tired of dealing with Fai-Lynn's-"
"Watch what you say. And, you should have just kept going on with the meeting then asked him afterwards. Oh well, we all make mistakes. Continuing on. " Sora said while clicking the remote again.
I went on during the meeting to explain why the meeting was taking place in the new business. I glanced over to Master Sora, who was shaking his head. I reached over and paused the recording myself.
"You left a lot out there. I agree, maybe it wasn't exactly bright to tell Fai-Lynn about everything, but she still has the right to know, even if you hate her. You know that right?"
"Yes. Yes I do."
"Good. It's fine that you didn't. I'll tell her, as long as you tell the other two about it. They all must know."
"But Master Sora-"
"They must know, rather you want them to know or not."
"Understood. Continuing on with the recording." I said as I clicked the button again.
Fai-Lynn automatically began to smart mouth me when I gave the warning out, much to Master Sora and I's disliking, as you can tell by Master Sora shaking his head. You can tell that Siri and Rai are wanting to blow up at her already, as you can physically see them fighting the urge. It is highly obvious between the two of them to see when they are hiding things. Siri begins to smile fakely as he begins not only to bounce his leg up and down, but physically stomp it. Rai begins to quake all the way up her body as she starts to sweat and mouth things to herself, nothing of which is readable by any possibility.
I hadn't noticed but I didn't answer the first time Fai-Lynn asked me the smart mouth question, probably because it made me mad the first time. So when she proceeds to ask again, as soon as she finished her sentence, Siri blows up visibly to the point of her camera shaking as he screams out. When he screams at Fai-Lynn, he jumps up out of his chair surprisingly quickly and nearly falls over blowing up. I glance over to the screen of Rai who is pointing at Siri to sit back down, and is being calm in attempt to calm Siri down, to no effect. The argument continues between them and, out of nowhere comes Rai advising Fai-Lynn to stop angrily. It shocks me now watching it for some reason. Now she too is poking her webcam violently at Fai-Lynn. Rai has reason to be though, unlike when Fai-Lynn was doing it. Then she really got mad when Fai-Lynn told her to shut up. Then she started to jump up out of her seat. During all this, I'm sitting back in my chair during the meeting and just shaking my head. I was probably thinking to myself "Oh my god. Master Sora is going to kill me…" although I'm not positive. The escalation of this argument to a screaming match so quickly is mind blowing!
Then in comes Alvin at full speed out of the gate screaming at everyone at once while he isn't even on screen! You can see the flinch I do when he screams in my ear before I blow up at Alvin for squeaking so loud in my ear. Thank god I was smart during this meeting, as my face was pure anger after that. I was so tired of dealing with everyone in this meeting that I eventually just gave up, and ended the meeting early, not even waiting for further comments. That marks the end of the meeting.
"Interesting meeting you had there. It had a very dramatic ending to it." Master Sora said.
"I know right? I just gave up. I'm sorry I skipped the entire ending steps of the meeting. I was just too angry to continue on."
"I'm fine with that. I would have done the same. Don't worry about Fai-Lynn. She's always like that. Now, as I said earlier, I'll talk to Fai-Lynn and tell her later. But you must tell Rai and Siri. They will listen better to you then Fai-Lynn would. "
"Yes. Of course Master Sora."
"Good. The combat unit will start early. So meet me in Twilight Town in 24 hours max."
"Wait. Huh? Why Twilight Town?"
"That will be the best area for our training."
"But, if Alpha Dark wants to kill us, won't we being in Twilight Town be the best time to do it?"
"Yes." He said. Wait. Why Twilight Town? I'm still confused!
"Are you trying to get me killed? Whose side are you on?"
"Dimitri! How dare you say that!"
"I'm sorry! I'm just confused! Why don't we go to the Kingdom?"
"Absolutly not!"
"Why?"
"No student under ANY circumstances is allowed to be in the kingdom unless you have permission from ME!" Master Sora yelled.
"So much for you not blowing up at me…"
There was a pause. Master Sora's facial expression changed dramatically. I don't think he really realized what he just did until I said that.
"Oh my god! I'm so sorry Dimitri! I didn't mean to blow up at you like that!"
"It's fine. "
"Anyways, still. No student is allowed to go to the kingdom unless I say so, or it is an emergency."
"I understand."
"Good." He said. "Prepare a quick meeting without Fai-Lynn with the other students, then get down to Twilight Town. Rai and Siri will be there too."
"Understood."
"Oh and by the way, no using your new keyblade there. Not unless it's absolutely necessary."
"Of course sir! I would never purposely use it."
"Good. See you soon at Twilight Town. Be prepared for a hard training."
Oh great….
This shall be fun…
