A/N: Yay! The fourth fooking chapter! cries ... So beautiful. Thanks for
the reviews! I'm trying really, really hard with the spelling, and grammar, format
crap. Plus to make sure you enjoy this fooking fanfic. Maybe you like it? Maybe
not? Review to let me know! At least 6 reviews, (not including mine)... wow, more
than I thought! So, yeah, I will be using bad puns in this chapter. Well, not a lot,
but a few. Forgive meh! Yes, I have been using Ariel in a lot of my stories, since
she is my favorite person of all the animated world. I will add Jack Skellinton to
a chapter, when they visit Halloween Town, but be patient! And in this chapter,
Kairi gets smacked with the keyblade! Yayyyy!
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Kingdom Hearts, Square-Enix, or Disney.
But if I did, Bambi would have been better, and Dumbo would not exist in
my department. And I wouldn't make all the mistakes.. what the fook ever.
-----------------------------Chapter IV, "Armor Coming?"
Cid shut the door of the shop, and Ariel looked in the direction of
the sound, noticing Sora. "Sora!" she said cheerfully, trying to get up,
but she ended up stumbling, catching herself on the coffee table. "Wow!"
Sora said, running to her side. He helped Ariel back onto the couch and
asked, "You okay?"
Ariel nodded and smiled, looking at him. "I'm really sorry, Sora."
she told him, moving the flow of hair that fell over her shoulder. Sora sat
down and relaxed upon his own arms as an head rest. "Nah, it's fine.
So you brought me here, and I'm alive. I'm thankful for that, so don't worry.
But, Ariel . . "
Ariel now stared as Sora as his voice trailed from normal to a bit
of a sad sound. "What about your father?" he asked.
"Oh," Ariel replied, "Donald and Goofy said they would explain it all
to him. I know he'll hate it, but I'm hoping to stay for a few days. Oh, if it's
alright with you."
Sora nodded and watched as Cid placed Ariel's drink on the coffee
table. "Drink up, kid, but it's the only one I can give ya." Cid told her as he
walked off and began to sort through the jewelry. Ariel brought the wine
glass to her lips and drank it slowly. It tasted bitter, and the facial expression
she gave to show the bitterness made Sora laugh. Ariel just glared at him, though
Sora knew it was a playful glare.
"I can't help it!" Sora laughed. Ariel put the glass down and poked Sora in the
side with two fingers, stabbing him to where he yelped out. Ariel gave a slight
giggle as she scooted away from Sora.
"Where do you think you're going?" Sora said, rubbing his sides. He readied
two fingers of his own and poked Ariel in the sides. She leaned over as a result,
laughing and groaning at the slight pain. Sora and Ariel kept this up for a few
minutes, until the doors opened. "Can't ya read? The sign says we aren't open!"
Cid yelled, not looking back to see who it was.
Leon entered, and Sora looked at him and frowned. He noticed this, though,
and quickly smiled again, hoping Leon didn't see it. "I'm a late shopper." Leon said,
walking near Sora and Ariel, his hands in his pockets. Cid turned and saw it was
Leon. "Egh." was all Cid said as he went back to polishing and sorting the accessories.
"Isn't it past your bedtime, Sora?" Leon asked, staring into the fourteen year olds eyes.
Sora now frowned visibly, and replied, "Jee, I don't know Leon. Isn't it a little
early for you to be coming out?"
Leon just gave a grin and looked at Ariel. She gave a slight, weak smile, her
eyebrows now held upward as if she was worried. "And you must be Sora's new friend
I've been hearing about. Nice entrance, Aerith pounded Cloud for . . . the watching."
Ariel, of course, didn't understand that, or who Cloud was, but she said
anyway, "Is he okay?"
Leon just shrugged with a small chuckle after it, telling her, "Who knows?
It depends on what he said."
Ariel now looked at the ground, hoping she didn't cause him any pain,
or anybody else for that matter. She tried to wiggle her toes to make herself fell
better, but the boots she wore prevented her from doing so. Meanwhile, Leon and
Sora stared at each other. Normally, they got along, but Sora had gotten to know
Leon, and he knew that Leon would try to make a move on Ariel. 'Back off, Leon,'
Sora thought, still staring into Leon's eyes, 'she's my friend, and I won't let you
break her heart.'
Cid broke the silence by saying, "Cloud wasn't the only one! All of the
people in this dump were staring. Tch, damn kids nowadays, they ain't got any
manners at all."
Leon laughed, and Sora smiled, too, but couldn't help feeling a little sick
because it was true. He wanted Ariel to stay, but with all the horn dogs in the
town, could he risk it?
"It's gettin' late, anyway. Sora, you'd better go and get some rest."
Cid announced, now locking up the cases. "What about Ariel?" Sora asked,
watching as she looked up now, at the mention of her name. She still was
confused about everything, and still didn't know what everyone meant by
her entrance. Was tripping really that bad?
"I'll take her to the inn." Leon offered, but Cid shook his head. "My
ass you are. I'll take here, since I know the way and what not. What you
can do, Leon, is patrol the third district tonight. It is Sunday, after all."
Leon realized this and got a bit serious, nodding. "Wouldn't dream
of doing anything else. Just be careful, old man, because everyone trusts
you as much as they trust everyone other guy in this town."
Then, with a wink at Ariel, he left the shop and walked down the steps,
heading for the large doors into the Third District. Sora got a little angry at this,
but Ariel stood. Or she tried to, anyway, but Sora caught her and helped her up.
"You'll get used to it." Sora said. "Well, how about me and you go to the CAFE
tomorrow?"
Ariel nodded and replied, "It'd be fun, I'll look forward to it. Good night,
Sora."
Sora blushed as she smiled, but then fell over, her face and his right
in front of the others. Cid saw this and rushed over, helping Ariel straighten,
her arm over his shoulder. "Here, let's go, kid. Do what I do, take a step after
step." Cid said, looking over his shoulder. "Lock up for me, Sora!"
Sora nodded and waved, having missed a chance he wanted so bad.
Of course, there would be other chances . . .
After Cid helped Ariel to the hotel, she didn't go to sleep. She stayed
up, trying to walk. She would stumble a few times, even fall, but she just got
up, dusted herself off, and tried over and over. She looked at the clock that
hung on the wall. It read 12:19am, and Ariel guessed that it wasn't good.
"I don't even know what time to wake up here," she said to herself, "the
time here and in Atlantica is so different!"
So she tried a few more times, than stopped, 'walking' over to
the large, red bed. It was comfy, and when she sat in it, she sank immediately.
She giggled and jumped up and down a few times, then slowly unzipped her
boots, kicking them off. The boots slammed against the wall, and Ariel slightly
winced when they did. She figured it wasn't a good sound, especially to the person
in the next room. Ariel waited for any noise from the other room, but none came,
so she slipped out of the lingerie, then put on a dark red nightgown, one that
covered her legs and arms, even her boobs. (You've seen it, from the movie.)
Finally, Ariel was ready to get into bed, when a knock came from the
door. 'How stupid,' the girl on the other side of the door thought, 'she probably
can't even walk yet.'
To the other girls surprise, the door clicked open, and creaked as
it slowly showed Ariel hanging on to the wall. The other girl, Kairi, smiled
and greeted, "Hi, Ariel. I hope I didn't wake you, I just wanted to show you
something really neat."
Ariel tilted her head and smiled. "It's okay." she replied. Kairi now
was grinning, and she grabbed Ariel's hand and dragged her out of the room.
Ariel, of course, got better at walking, but only by a bit, so she still fell down
in the hall. Kairi held back her laughter and helped Ariel up. Ariel thanked her
and once again pushed back the flow of hair that fell over her shoulder. So
Kairi helped Ariel to the Third District, and said, "Wait here, okay? I'll be
right back, I promise!"
Ariel nodded, and Kairi rushed to the Second District. Everyone
in Traverse Town knew that on Sunday, if the bell from the Gizmo Shop
rung, that a horrible 'monster' would appear in the Third District. So they
would avoid it, and Leon or Cloud would patrol, even Sora sometimes.
But Kairi had plans as she rushed up to the top of the Gizmo Shop, taking
a large crowbar and hacking at the boards that covered the bell. "This will
show that tramp." Kairi laughed out loud to herself.
Ariel looked into the sky, looking at the stars glitter and light the way
for travelling people. The stars were beautiful, and little did she know, that
Sora was watching them, also, from the top of the Accessory Shop. Suddenly,
a loud, ringing was heard not too far from where Ariel was standing, and she
turned her attention to where the sound was coming from, her hair once again
flowing over her shoulders. Leon's eyes went wide as the bell sound rang through
his ears. He growled as he grabbed his gunblade, and ran out of the small house
he and the others set up as a 'base'. He was searching for more bullets, but now
he didn't have time, so he only went with the six that were already in the revolver.
Sora heard the bell ring, to, as did most of the town, and they gasped.
Sora now jumped off the roof, landing on his feet, but falling down quickly. He
got up as fast as he could, and he ran. Now Ariel was getting scared as the
ground began to shake, and she tried to run, but her walking was still lacking
improvement. So she tilted over, almost falling, her legs buckling. Leon soon
arrived and saw Ariel, as did Sora. They ran to her aid quickly, and put their
backs to guard her. Large, stone pillars appeared out of no where, blocking
any escape that the trio could muster.
"Damn it!" Leon yelled, putting his gunblade in front of him. "What
the hell are you doing here?"
Ariel turned extremely red and said weakly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean
to! Kairi said she wanted to show me-"
Sora interrupted Ariel quickly, as did Leon. "Kairi!" they both said
in shock. Ariel nodded slowly, and Sora muttered, "Figures, Kairi would be
jealous, but this?"
Out of no where, a giant, armed, robot thing fell out of the sky with
a loud CLANK! Sora stared at this giant monster. "Ariel, go hide in the corner,
if you can!" Leon demanded, placing his palm forward. A large flame appeared,
and Leon shot it, hitting one of the arms. The arm started to crack, and Leon
and Sora smiled. "Think you're up to this?" Leon asked Sora as Ariel walked
drunkenly to the wall. "When am I not?" Sora retorted, pulling out his keyblade,
which was still in the form of the pumpkin head.
Sora and Leon slashed the arms and legs quickly, all limbs cracking
at the blows from the weapons. "Speak up, there's a bit of static!" Sora yelled,
as he shot a large Thunder spell at one of the arms. The arm shattered, and
all of the metallic pieces fell onto the ground. "Then the heat's on you." Leon
replied, shooting another fireball at the other arm. The arm shattered as the
first, but this time a clear bottle with green liquid in it fell out. "A potion!"
Sora said, running to pick it up. Above them, on the balcony that led to
the second district, Kairi watched. She just let out a small grin as she
saw Ariel shaking in the corner. "She's powerless." Kairi laughed.
Leon then started to glow as he ran to one of the legs. He
spun when he reached the leg, his gunblade held out. This caused
a circular slash upon the leg, as it cracked and shattered into a bunch
of metal pieces. Sora felt power within him, too, as he threw the keyblade
at the other foot. The keyblade spun, and hit the leg three times before
returning to Sora. Finally, the leg shattered also, and all that was left
was the torso. It began to spin wildly, hitting Leon. Leon fell to the ground,
his gunblade spinning to where Ariel was. She saw it, and then Leon. She
slowly got up and walked to the gunblade. "Leon!" Sora yelled, throwing
the Potion at Leon. He reached to caught it, but the torso slammed
into him, knocking him out. The Potion just fell onto the ground and shattered
like the limbs, the green liquid evaporating. The Torso suddenly started to glow,
as the mist covered him. "It's healing him!" Sora growled as he ran to Leon's
side.
Ariel now picked up the gunblade, lifting it over her shoulder, the blunt
side of the blade leaning on her shoulder. She felt power, and it seemed Leon,
before he was knocked unconscious, was readying another Finale attack, one
of his best known as the Lionheart. But it failed, though the Aura that surrounded
him was now trapped upon his gunblade. The Torso spun and was aiming at
Sora, but it stopped as it heard a girl screaming, as if a war cry. Sora looked,
too, and saw Ariel running with the gunblade upon her shoulder, slightly stumbling.
She reached the torso and launched the gunblade at it, flinging it off her shoulder,
allowing it slam onto the ground after cutting through the torso, though the large,
unique blade drug her down with it.
Ariel fell to her knees as she let the gunblade cut, but as she flung it
at the torso, right as she slashed it, she pulled the trigger. Six streams of orange-red
lights flew from the revolvers and ripped through the torso. The Torso shook, then shattered,
also, dropping a crystal heart, that when it landed, it made a sound like a small, crystal
bell being rang. Ariel was on her knees, and breathing heavily, her hair flowing over
her shoulder, her bangs covering her face. She let go of the gunblade, her arms aching
with pain of lifting the heavy weapon, then holding it as it shot out the stream of bullets.
Sora stood wide-eyed as he took his keyblade and shouted, "Leon!", healing
the man with a Cure spell as leaves touched the gunblade wielder. Leon awoke to
find Ariel holding her chest, breathing, the gunblade some what stuck in the ground.
Ariel looked up, her eyes half-open, smiling at Sora and Leon. They nodded, and
stood up, walking to Ariel. "I can't believe it, she was able to handle the gunblade."
Leon said, obviously impressed. "What was that?" Sora asked Leon. "It must of
been her own special Finale, such as I use the Lionheart or Fated Circle, or
you use Strike Raid or Ars Arcanum. She must have her own, and when she
held the gunblade, she unleashed it." Leon explained.
"That was so cool." Sora said. "I've heard about that attack, and it's a hard
one to master. It's called the Ragnarok, and even I haven't mastered it. So now I'm
a bit jealous." Leon joked.
"You evil, stupid tramp!" Kairi screamed, running at Ariel with the crowbar
as the pillars faded into the ground. Cloud was waiting, too, and Aerith, with Cid
and Yuffie. They saw this and gasped. Ariel looked up, still breathing hard, her
eyes only half open. "Kairi, no!" Sora shouted. Kairi ignored him, charging at
Ariel. Her eyes were wide and her teeth were showing, but as soon as she
reached near Ariel, her mouth dropped open, the crowbar fell, and she stood
there, in pain. Her eyes somehow got bigger, and her fingers twitched. Everyone
saw what happened. Sora threw the back end, where the butt of the keyblade was,
at Kairi's back. The keyblade went forward, and knocked Kairi hard, making her
drop the crowbar. Sora shook his head, saying, "Oh crap, Kairi!"
Kairi fell to the ground and looked up at Ariel, who was now closing her eyes.
"I hate you . . ." Kairi hissed as she fainted. Ariel fainted, too, and both girls sat on
the cement, Kairi on her stomach, and Ariel on her back, her knees curled up.
---------------------------End of Chapter-------
A/N: Can you believe it? I finished it! So, what'd you think? I liked how Ariel finished
things up. And for you Kairi haters, I hope you enjoyed her being whacked in the back,
with the END of the keyblade. And for those who love her... I'm sorry. It's nothing personal.
Anyway, I thought Ariel should have an Overdrive or "Finale", so I gave her Ragnarok. It's
like Leon doing a normal slash, but imagine the streams coming out of the gunblade revolver
like they did at the tip of Sora's keyblade from the game. And those are the only two Finales
Leon and Sora will have, though they won't use them much, since fighting will only occur every
other two chapters. Please review on if you liked Ariel shooting the Ragnarok with Leon's gunblade. Or if not, or anything else. Reviews are nice... Can you picture Ariel doing that in
a nightgown? I can, and I think it looks fooking uber-cool. Thanks! I'll update! Chapter 5 coming
up, please be patient. Otherwise, that chapter took forever! A fooking eternity! Bajoobers!
---kweh.
Next chapter: (Title unknown yet)... Ariel wants to leave since she feels bad. Kairi is injured
slightly, but she makes a scheme yet again. When the others talk to Ariel, i.e., Cloud, Leon,
Yuffie, Aerith, Cid and Sora, Ariel feels good and decides to stay. Way cooler, and Ariel
and Sora do a romantic thing! And SEPHIROTH makes an appearance, since he will be
in at least three chapters, while Sora has an argument with Kairi! PLEASE Read, it will
kick major ass! Heh heh, and Kairi says Ariel hit her in the back.
