Chapter Three: Traverse Town
Reira sat at her dinner table playing with her peas,
"Something wrong, dear?" Reira looked up at her dad.
"Tomorrow's the big day, I need to eat to have energy for tomorrow…but I'm too excited." A thunder clap was heard and Reira stood up,
"Oh no! Our raft!" Reira quickly tied her hair in a pony tail and turned to her mom,
"I'll be back in a jiffy, mom!" She ran out the room as her mother called for her.
-&-
Reira ran as fast as she could, towards the dock to get to her boat.
"Ah!" Reira tripped and rolled across the wooden dock; hitting into something. That something yelled,
"Ow! Reira?" Reira looked up to see Sora looking down at her,
"Sora?" Sora quickly steadied her.
"Riku and Kairi are here too!" Reira nodded and turned around, widening her eyes.
"Sora!" Sora turned around and took out his wooden sword; staring at the ant like creatures. Sora took Reira's hand and ran off to see Riku.
"Where's Kairi, I thought she was with you?" Riku shook his head,
"The door has opened." Reira panted and stepped forward to Riku,
"What are you talking about?" Riku turned around,
"The door has opened, Reira. Now we can go to the outside worlds." Sora shook his head,
"What about Kairi?!" Riku stepped forward,
"Kairi's coming with us!" Sora stepped back.
"Once we step through, we might now be able to come back. We may never see our parents again, there's no turning back. But this may be our only chance, we can't let fear stop us. I'm not afraid of the darkness!" Reira narrowed her eyebrows and stepped closer to Riku.
"What are you talking about, Riku? What darkness?" A sudden huge wind blew her backwards into Sora.
"Ugh," Sora held onto Reira and steadied her again. Riku turned to them and reached out his hand, as darkness consumed him.
"Riku?" Sora and Reira ran towards Riku; as darkness consumed them, their hands reached out for his. A sudden light was emitted and something was in Sora's hand.
"Keyblade…"
"Sora!" Sora turned to see Reira surrounded by the ant like creatures. He looked at the key in his hand and quickly ran towards the creatures, hitting them.
"Reira, c'mon! We have to go!" Reira nodded and ran after Sora as he destroyed the creatures. The two entered a door and ran through the cave. The two stopped to see Kairi turning around,
"Kairi!" Kairi slowly blinked and opened her arms, and the door open through, pushing her.
"Sora…Reira…" She ran into them, but faded through. Reira put her hands to her eyes, trying to see through the darkness.
-&-
"Whoa!" Sora landed face first into the sand and Reira above him. She rolled over and sat up,
"What's happening, Sora?!" Sora widened his eyes to see a huge creature, he quickly used his Keyblade and attacked.
"Reira, go somewhere safe!" Reira hide behind a tree and watched as Sora defeated the creature. Suddenly, a black hole began sucking everything. Reira tried to hold onto the tree as best as she cold as Sora tried to hold onto a crate. He turned his head at Reira and reached out his hand.
"Reira!" Reira widened her eyes and reached out her hand as well,
"Sora!" Her fingers started to slip and she got sucked, Sora widened his eyes and let go as well
-&-
"Ugh." Sora twitched as a yellow dog licked his cheek.
"What a dream…" The dog pounced on him,
"This isn't a dream!" Sora stood up.
"Where am I?" He turned around and widened his eyes,
"Reira! Are you okay?" He ran to her,
"Reira! Come on!" He shook her shoulders, she slowly opened her eyes.
"Sora…?" He hugged her petite body.
"I'm glad you're okay." She groaned and touched her forehead,
"Sora...where are we?" He looked down and shook his head,
"I-I, don't know anymore."
"What happened to our home, our friends?" Sora looked at the dog,
"Do you know where we are?" The dog just stared and ran off.
"Hey!" Reira put a hand on his shoulder,
"Don't worry, Sora. We're in this together!" Sora smiled and nodded,
"Let's go check out where we are." They walked around the town,
"This is totally weird…We're in another world." Reira tugged at Sora,
"Let's go to this accessory shop." The two entered to see a man with blonde hair turn around,
"Hey there, how can I…Aw, it's only a kid and his girlfriend." Reira and Sora looked down at their hands and let go,
"I'm not a kid!"
"I'm not his girlfriend!" The two spoke in unison.
"And the name's Sora!" The guy put his hands on his hip,
"Okay, okay simmer down." Reira shook her head,
"My name's Reira, what's yours?"
"Cid, so why the long face, you two? Lost or something?"
"No, well maybe…where are we?"
"Huh? Traverse town,"
"So gramps is this really another world?"
"Don't call me gramps! Anyway, we're not on your island. If you ever run into trouble, come to me. I'll look after ya both." Reira smiled,
"Thank you, Cid." The two walked out to the first district, wondering around.
"Sora, will we ever see Riku or Kairi again?" Sora looked down,
"I don't know, but we're searching them." Reira nodded,
"Yeah, we'll find them. I just know it." Sora gave a small smile as they entered the second district to see someone fall down and their heart come out and a heartless appeared. Reira widened her eyes and stepped back,
"It's those same creatures!" Sora took out his Keyblade and attacked them. After he was done, they went back to the first district, to only see more creatures. Sora killed them, creating a path for them as they ran.
"They'll come at you out of nowhere." A guy with brown hair a scar across his face walked up to the two.
"Who are you?" He pointed at Sora.
"And they'll keep coming at you, as long as you continue wield the Keyblade. But why? Why would it choose a kid like you." Sora narrowed his eyes,
"What's that suppose to mean?!"
"Never mind, now let's see that Keyblade." The guy took out a gun like weapon and the two fought as Reira could only watch and hope Sora doesn't get hurt. The guy kneeled down on his weapon,
"No way, I can lose." Sora panted and stepped back,
"Now…you're gonna…you're gonna…" Sora fell began to fall backwards, Reira ran up and caught him. Sora eyes slowly closed, as he stared at Reira's worried hazel orbs.
"Leave Sora alone!" The guy looked at her and ran at her, knocking her out.
"Aww, you're slipping, Leon." Leon turned to see a girl with short black hair smiling.
"I went easy on him. Looks like things are worse than we thought, a lot worse."
-&-
"Ugh…Reira?" Sora sat up and shook his head, to see Reira next to him; unconscious.
"Reira!" Sora grabbed Reira's shoulder and shook her.
"You okay?" Sora turned to see Kairi,
"I guess, I'm not so sure about Reira though…" She put her hands on her hips,
"Those creatures just what your heart, because of the Keyblade." Sora nodded,
"I'm glad you're okay, Kairi." She raised an eyebrow,
"Kairi, who are you talking about? I'm the great ninja, Yuffie." Sora rubbed his eyes to see a girl with short black hair staring at him.
"Squall, I think you over did it." Leon walked over,
"That's Leon." Sora frowned and looked back at Reira,
"What did you do to Reira?!" Leon raised an eyebrow,
"I just knocked her out, don't worry. She'll wake up soon." Sora narrowed his eyebrows and his gaze shifted to his Keyblade.
"Keyblade…" Yuffie smiled,
"Yeah, we had to get it away from you to shake off those creatures. It turns out that's how they were tracking you."
"To conceal your heart, but it won't last that long. But still, hard to believe that you out of all people are the chosen one. Well beggars can't be choosers…" Leon picked up the Keyblade and it reappeared in Sora's hand.
"Why don't you start making sense? What's going on here?!" A groan was heard, Sora turned around to see Reira getting up, rubbing her neck.
"…Sora?" Sora turned around and grabbed Reira by the shoulders,
"Reira! You okay?" Reira nodded,
"A bit dazed, but what's going on?" Yuffie smiled,
"I, Yuffie, the great ninja can explain. You know there are many other worlds out there, besides your island and this town. They've been secrets, because they weren't connected. But until the heartless appeared, everything changed."
"Heartless?"
"The ones who attacked you."
"Those without heartless."
"The darkness in hearts attracts them."
"And there's darkness within every heart…"
"Have you heard of someone name Ansem? He studied the heartless and recorded it, but the pages are scattered everywhere in every world."
"Heartless have great fear of the Keyblade."
"Well, I didn't ask for it."
"The Keyblade chooses its master. And it chose you."
"So tough luck."
"How did this all happen…I remember being in my room- wait, what happened to my home? My island?! Riku and Kairi."
"I really don't know…" Reira put her hand on Sora's shoulder,
"Don't worry, Sora. We'll pull through this, together." Reira smiled as Sora nodded his head with a small smile.
"You're right, Reira." Yuffie giggled,
"Reira, was it?" Reira turned to her and nodded,
"Yes?" Yuffie ruffled her hair,
"You're so positive about everything, aren't you?" Reira blinked and swatted Yuffie's hand away.
"I don't know, I never really noticed." Sora shook his head,
"No way! Really? You always encourage me," Reira blushed and bit her lip.
"I guess…?" Yuffie pointed to a heartless, Leon widened his eyes and took out his weapon.
"Yuffie, go! Take Reira with you!" Yuffie grabbed Reira and ran out,
"Reira!" Sora yelled as he attacked the heartlesses. Yuffie opened the door; hitting someone in the process as a girl with curly brown hair and pink dress stared at them in surprise.
"Yuffie!" She ran after the two.
-&-
"Wait! What about Sora?!" Yuffie turned to Reira,
"He'll be fine, he has the Keyblade," Reira shook her head,
"I need to stick with Sora, though!" Yuffie shook her head,
"You'll be with him again, I'm sure of it!" Reira shook her head and twisted her wrist, in hope to free herself.
"I need to get to Sora!" Yuffie sighed and looked at Reira.
"They're fighting heartlesses, right now. You can't go, you could die!" Reira frowned,
"Couldn't Sora die too?" Yuffie stayed quiet,
"He has a better chance of surviving because he has the Keyblade." Reira freed her from Yuffie's grip,
"I'm going to find Sora, I'm not going to abandon my friend!" Reira ran off, with Yuffie following after her.
-&-
"Wait, Reira! The third district is the worst of them all!" Reira shook her head,
"Sora could be there!" Reira quickly entered to see Sora standing there.
"Sora!" Sora turned around and saw Reira tackle him, with Yuffie stopping at the door. Suddenly, two people fell on Sora and Reira.
"They key!" Suddenly, blocks began to block the door way, with heartlesses around them. Sora widened his eyes and pushed Reira behind him and began attacking the small ones. Suddenly a huge purple heartless appeared, Sora turned to Reira.
"Hide!" Reira ran nearby a block, near the entrance. She could hear Yuffie calling out to them.
"Yuffie! A huge heartless is here, and I can't hide!" Yuffie let out a gasps and shook her head.
"I'll be back, with help!" Reira nodded,
"Watch out!" Reira screamed as the heartless went to stomp on Sora. Sora quickly turned around and dodged.
"Don't worry about me, Reira! Worry about yourself." Reira slightly frowned at herself, knowing she doesn't have a weapon to protect herself.
"Reira, watch out!" Reira looked up to see a heartless jump at her. She widened her eyes as her necklace glowed. Sora tried getting closer to her, a light was emitted and the heartless was killed. Sora looked at her with wide eyes,
"Reira...?" She looked down with wide eyes as well to see her very own Keyblade. Sora quickly jumped on the heartless and killed it. A heart flew out and it vanished, along with her Keyblade. He quickly ran to Reira,
"Are you okay?!" Reira looked down as Sora touched her shoulder, she looked up and frowned.
"Sorry…for being in the way…" Sora shook his head and grabbed both of her shoulders,
"It's okay, I told you already. I'll always protect you." Reira looked up and blushed; turning her head.
"Thanks, Sora." Sora nodded as the duck like person quacked.
"You're the keys we've been looking for!" Sora tilted his head and looked at them.
"Me? You've been looking for me?" The two nodded,
"They, too, have been seeking for the wielder of the Keyblade." The dog person, grinned.
"Hey, why don't you come with us? We can go to other worlds on our vessel." Sora looked down,
"I wonder if I could find Riku and Kairi."
"Of course!"
"Sora, Reira, go with them. Especially if you want to find your friends." Sora looked down,
"Yeah I guess." Reira put a hand on Sora's shoulder as the duck put his hand on his hips.
"But you can't come along looking like that, understand? No frowning, no sad face, okay?"
"Yeah you gotta look funny like us!"
"This boat runs on happy faces." Sora sighed,
"Happy faces?" The two looked at Sora with huge smiles. Sora raised his head and gave a huge smile. Reira and the otters laughed. Sora nodded,
"Okay, I'll go with you guys."
"Donald duck." Donald stuck his hand out,
"Name's Goofy," Goofy put his over it,
"I'm Sora." Sora put out his hand, while Reira did so as well.
"And I'm Reira." Goofy smiled,
"One for all, and all for one!" .
-&-
"Make sure you're prepared, we'll give you 100 munny to buy the things." Sora nodded and took the munny. Leon crossed his arms,
"Take care of each other, especially Reira, she seems too fragile for fighting. Yet the Keyblade chose her as well." Sora nodded and walked back to Donald, Goofy, and Reira. Donald smiled,
"Let's get going!" Sora looked at Reira,
"Well…here's our great adventure." Reira smiled,
"Yeah, let's go to their ship." .
-&-
Reira entered to see the ship, the pilot controls and four seats.
"Cool, is there anything more rooms?" Donald nodded,
"Just a small kitchen and bathroom." Reira tilted her head,
"No bedrooms?" Donald shook his head,
"No, but the gummi ship flies to other worlds and has lasers to attack any offending ships." Sora jumped up,
"Cool! No way! Let me try!" Donald shook his head,
"No! You don't know how to drive this, I'll do it." Sora pouted and sat down at his seat,
"Fine." Reira giggled and lightly punched Sora's arm, sitting in the back seat with Sora while Donald and Goofy where in the front.
"Its okay, Sora." Sora looked up and smiled,
"I wonder how long it'll be until we arrive to a new world." Reira sighed and looked out the window,
"We finally got our adventure, and we're actually heading to a new world." Sora nodded.
"We-" Donald suddenly started to park the ship.
"We're heading to a new world." Sora stood up,
"What world?" Goofy hyucked,
"Olympus Coliseum."
