DiSCLAiMER ;; I rock, I PWN! And know this I don't OWN! I don't DIDDLY-SKWAT!
Except the plot, because the plot is MINE!
Yes, I know… I've been away for a while; I had to be rushed to ER from school because I passed out, yadda, yadda, yadda. I'm back now and you've all been trying to guess who the guy in the cloak was. But guess what—I won't tell till it comes to that part.
ON WiTH THE FiFTH CHAPTER!
X.x.X
Sora had told us the way out after the O.XIII left the room. He had told us to be careful with some of them, for they had a form of magic no one has ever seen before.
"And be very, very, VERY cautious with Axel," Sora said.
Kairi, Olette and I looked at each other. "Why's that?" Olette asked.
Sora smiled and lifted up his shirt to show his stomach, which was very well built, but also had an extremely large burn across it. It looked just like the scar on Roxas's stomach. "He can control fire, and man, does it hurt," he said and laughed slightly.
Kairi gently placed her fingers over the scar, but then retreated when Sora winced and stuck his shirt back down. "Why didn't you try to protect yourself?" my sister asked.
Again, Sora smiled, "Because they have my only weapon," he began. We looked at him waiting for an answer. "You know… the Keyblade?" he said asking if we knew anything about it.
I heard a noise coming from the door. "We have to get out of here!" I said. "Now!"
Sora, Kairi and Olette nodded as we darted off towards the vent.
Sora went in first, then Kairi, Olette and me. It was strange, but yet exciting. I felt a hand go around my ankle though as I tried to keep inside of the vent. I looked to the person who was grabbing my ankle.
It was a guy, and he was wearing the O.XIII's cloak. I watched as my sisters and Sora continue going. I tried screaming, but nothing would come out.
I slammed my fist into the metal to get their attention as Olette turned around. Getting Kairi and Sora's attention they pulled me out of the guys grip. I looked back as I saw grey eyes that shined back at me, as if they were pleading not to go that way.
I turned back to the others and we continued on.
After a few minutes of crawling I could see light at the end of the vent. Sora climbed out, then helped Kairi, Olette and I. As we turned around I saw the man again with the grey eyes, they were still pleading.
I stood there, watching him as he stared back at me.
"YOU!" I could hear Kairi yell in rage. "This is all your fault!" Her hand lifted and pointed towards him. She began to run when I held out my hand.
I could sense Kairi was confused. "He's not with the O.XIII," I began. "He's our father—our real father. King Leon."
The man's hands lifted to his hood as he swiped it off. "You know Naminé," he began. "I knew you would grow up to be a smart girl. Riona, your mother and I knew you would all grow up to be such wonderful girls. And now I stand before you again, with that thought in mind."
Once the hood came off, there was our father, with his dark brown hair, with some gray spots and a scar running diagonally across his face. Olette, Kairi, and I ran up to him, hugging him to infinity.
Sora grinned and then bowed. "Your majesty," he said on one knee. Leon slipped out of our grips and walked over to Sora.
"You've done well, my friend," he began. "You've kept my daughters safe, and brought them back with no wounds."
Leon threw something into the air and Sora caught it. When Sora stood up I saw him drink something, and nothing happened.
Sora laughed. "Thank you, sir," he began. "I've been waiting for something to help for three years."
"Sora, come with us," Kairi began. Olette nodded as did I.
"I think Aerith will be glad to see you," I said. Sora smiled, and then grinned.
"She's with my wife, Riona, at the castle," Dad began. "When I had told them both I was out to find you four, both Aerith and Riona were happy."
Olette seemed to be jumpy for some strange reason as I looked over to where she was pointing at. "S-Sora?" Olette was stuttering—that's bad. "I-is that A-Axel?"
Sora ran up to where we were and stood defensively in front of us. But then Dad got in front of him. "Sora, you can use your Keyblade now! You're out of their grasp!" Leon smiled as he tossed me a white staff with a circle and wings at the top. He threw Kairi a strange type of sword with flowers around the handle that went up towards the tip. And to Olette he gave a bow and arrow.
"I know you've all been training for something to happen, this is where it happens! Go! I'll take care of these antagonists!" Leon smiled as he pulled out his own sword. "Sora, lead them back to the castle, there; you can heal yourself and let Riona search for any survivors."
Sora nodded as something appeared in his hand. It was the Keyblade!
"Let's go!" Sora said to us as we nodded. He ran in front while I took the back.
I wonder where Fruy is, or what it looks like. Hmmmm…
Before I knew it, we were out of the Forest of Valkyr. "We have to get to Fruy!" Sora said. I stopped as Olette and Kairi kept urging me on.
"My friends are here!" I began. "And I'm not about to push them aside!" I darted off towards where Roxas, Hayner, Pence, Ansem and Eli lived. I didn't care for Luxord anymore, he was an evil brat.
I finally reached their house to see the door was off its hinges and inside the house on the floor.
I ran towards it as I could see a man… or a woman… I couldn't tell with pinkish-brown hair. I pointed my staff at him… her… it…
"Get away from them!" I shouted. Once the person turned around, it was defiantly a man, just by his lack of chest and his gain of crotch.
Her snickered, he chuckled, and then he laughed. After lifting his hand into the air, he somehow called forth something. He brought his hand back down and had a scythe in it. "You know, it's a pity and a shame that I have to kill you, Naminé," he began. "But I can do something with you. I know where Roxas is, would you like me to you to him?" He held out his free hand to me.
I glared at him with an icy intent. Smacking his hand away with the staff, I spun it once and pointed it back at him. "Get out!" I shouted. "Or I'll make you get out!"
Another laugh, but this one seemed more sinister and dark. "Why don't we take the fight outside, after all, it's rude to fight within another's house," he smirked. "I'll go first so you can see your friends before they die."
I pointed the staff towards him again and watched him move towards the door. I quickly looked over at a scared Hayner and Pence. "Hayner! Pence! Call Ansem! Tell him that we need him!" I said as they nodded and quickly got up over to the phone.
The pink haired man was out the door as I moved over to it. Suddenly there was an arm around my waist and a hand over my mouth. "Marluxia," the person behind me said. "We don't want to kill her, nor do we want her hurt. The Superior still needs her, Kairi, Olette and Sora. After all, didn't you listen to him? Naminé has a power that if we kill her. This entire planet could be destroyed. Go find the other three."
The pink haired man, Marluxia bowed and headed off. My feet were soon dangling off the ground as I kicked and punched at whoever was holding me. Their grip was hard and it hurt around my waist, like an iron bar. The man dropped me and unhooded himself to show bright yellow eyes, blue hair and an 'X' between his eyes.
"Marluxia wouldn't of have fought fairly with you," the man began. "He's a dirty fighter in all meanings of the word." Suddenly the man smiled. I recognized that smile though. Black smoke surrounded him and left his aura.
"Roxas!" I said cheerfully, got up and hugged him. I could feel his arms wrapped around my waist. It was his soft touch, it was his warmth, and it was his smell of Axe that he wore every morning. I smiled into his chest and took his smell in.
"We need to get back to Sora and your sisters," Roxas began. I let go of him and nodded. His lips met mine in a quick kiss.
Hayner and Pence came back into the room. "A-ha!" Hayner said pointing an accusing finger. "I knew you two were up to something that night!" I could feel a sweat drop go down my neck.
"Hayner, Pence," I began and slid out of Roxas's grip. "Did you get Ansem and Eli?" They shook their heads. "Ugh… this fight might be harder than it already is…" I groaned. I lifted my staff into the air as I caught it. "You guys, protect yourself with whatever you have!" I shouted as I grabbed Roxas's wrist and pulled him out of the house.
Marluxia had already left to go find Sora and my sisters, who knows what they're going through right now. Mom and Aerith are at the castle in Fruy, and Dad is back at the hideout for O.XIII in Valkyr.
"Dad!" I heard Roxas shout over to someone laying on the ground and bleeding.
I let go of Roxas's wrist as we ran over to him. "Ansem!" I called out. "What happened?"
Ansem began to push himself off of the ground; Roxas helped him to sit up. The elder man looked at Roxas and smiled. "I knew you were with them, but I knew you wouldn't stay with them," he began. "That's my boy Roxas." He turned and looked at me. "Naminé," he began. "You may not know, but I knew it when I saw you. You have the Yrethen Power. It's the most destructive power in the entire world. But not only can it destroy, but it can create. Your sisters, Olette and Kairi, they have their own powers too. Be careful with it."
I nodded and looked at him. "Thank you Ansem, we're going to bring to Fruy so that we can…"
"No!" he shouted at me. "I will not allow it. I'm already dying, try and get me to Fruy, and I'll already be dead. I would rather die in the city I was raised in rather than die on a path to a place I've only been rejected from. Let me die in peace now, and Roxas?"
Roxas looked down at his father, "Yeah Dad?" he asked softly, looking like he was about to cry.
"Take good care of yourself, Naminé, Kairi, Olette, and Sora. And farewell my friends, maybe I can see you… in the next life…" Ansem whispered softly as his breathing stopped and his body went limp.
"Dad…" Roxas had a tear fall to the ground. I could already feel myself crying. I tried to cover my face, to hide from the world around us. I opened my eyes to see Roxas, respectfully close Ansem's eyes. "When we get Fruy, we can come back here, and give him a burial ground so he can stay resting in peace." Roxas placed Ansem neatly on the ground and kissed his bloody forehead. "Thanks, Dad."
Roxas stood up and held out his hand for me. I took it and nodded. "Let's get out of here, your sisters and Sora are probably wondering where you are," Roxas said to me. I nodded and wiped away my tears as I stood up.
Roxas and I darted off to where we thought Sora, Kairi, and Olette would be. We couldn't find them anywhere. "Where are they?" I began. "Could they be looking for us? Could they have been taken back to the O.XIII? KAIRI! OLETTE! SORA!"
I felt Roxas's hand over my mouth, "Do you want them to know we're here?" he scowled at me. He gently kissed my cheek, apologizing for bursting at me like that. "We need to find them," he calmed me down a bit and let go of my mouth.
I nodded as we darted off towards Fruy. "They should be safe," Roxas said. "Hayner and Pence are safe, so that's good. I'm not entirely quite sure what will happen to Yuunit though…"
I could tell Roxas wanted to cry, I knew it. "Neither do I, but let's just hope that most people are safe," I said softly. "Our biggest problem here is getting past O.XIII."
Just as I said that, the leader, Xemnas appeared before us. "No!" Roxas said as he quickly stopped. I couldn't stop in time; I accidentally ran into Xemnas only to fall over. The man smirked as he lifted me up without using a single body part.
"Hey!" I screamed. "Put me down!"
Xemnas laughed. "I will put you down, underneath all of the O.XIII," he began. "And watch you writhe with pain bellow us and scream our names. You will be obliterated!" He began to laugh manically.
I could feel darkness surrounded my limbs and trying to engulf me. "Roxas!" I called out. I tried to look where he was, but ended up seeing he had to deal with his own problems. The lesser Shapeshyfters.
The darkness tore into my skin and bore even deeper. I could feel my own blood run down my legs and arms.
"Now Olette!" I heard Kairi call out. An arrow shot out at Xemnas. It drove into his shoulder as the darkness stopped and the lesser Shapeshyfters disappeared. Roxas ran up to me, picked me up and got over to Kairi, Olette and Sora as fast as he could. "C'mon you guys!" Kairi said. "I don't think he's very pleased!"
Everyone nodded as we darted off towards any of the paths. Xemnas screamed as he darted after us. "Kairi!" Sora said. "Use your power!"
Kairi nodded as she held out her hand. A glowing white portal appeared as all five of us ran through it. It closed right after Roxas carrying me went through.
"Where are we?" I asked in a soft voice.
"The city of Fruy," Sora replied. Everyone noticed our arrival, recognized Sora, Kairi, Roxas and I.
Two women came up to us. One of them ran up to Sora and hugged him dearly, not wanting to let go. She must've been Aerith. She looked over at Roxas and nodded to him, happy to see him to. He nodded back.
"Do you think you can walk, Naminé?" Roxas asked me softly.
"I should be able to," I began as Roxas slowly put me onto my feet. I staggered a bit but made my way over to Kairi and Olette hugging our mother Riona. "I need to say hello to my mom," I said softly as my sisters and our mom let me into the group hug.
Roxas went over to Aerith and joined in hugging Sora.
I had some blood, but I would make sure that the O.XIII paid for what they did to Sora and everyone else. They would get back for their sinister thoughts.
I would make them.
