Hey, chapter 5 is here and ready to be read! Let's do this!
Chapter 5 : One Heck of a Morning
The next morning, Sora slowly opened his eyes to find himself on the floor.
"That would explain the falling part in my dream." He said to himself as he got up to his feet.
He stretches his arms out and tries to search for the kitchen. Or mess hall in this matter. He searched all downstairs until finally, he found the mess hall. He opens the cupboards, bare. The drawers, empty. The pantry... is filled to the brim with candy!
"Talk about an energy boost." Sora said as he got some gummy bears and gummi worms.
Kyla's eyes started opening and she notices Sora is missing. She hears for sounds as she walks around. She then bumps into the kitchen and walks in to see Sora eating some gummi bears. "Morning, Kyla."
Kyla tilts a brow, "Um... morning?"
"I know, candy for breakfast? Yeah, that's like all they have."
Kyla picks up some Reese's and opens the wrapper, "I'm cool with that." She pops a whole cup in her mouth.
"Sweet." He said before he ate the rest of his gummi bears.
They hear someone come in and looks to see Hallow. She looked at them in confusion, "You know, that candy is a century years old, right?"
"Ah. No wonder the wrapper was different." Kyla said.
"If it is, then it still tastes like you just got them from trick or treating."
"Nope. I just saved them for pranks."
"So, did I just prank myself?"
Hallow nods, "Yup."
Sora sat there in silence for a sec before starting to laugh.
Kyla tilts a brow, "What are you laughing about?"
Sora stopped laughing, "I guess it's possible to prank yourself without even knowing."
Kyla rolls her eyes and her stomach starts rumbling really loudly.
"You all right, Kyla?"
Kyla clutched her tummy, "Um... Yeah. I'm f-" *GRUMBLE!* "WHERE'S THE BATHROOM?!"
"Upstairs, in the bedroom you slept in last night."
Kyla zoomed up there and slammed the door shut. Hallow stood there dumbfounded, "Huh. That was weird."
"Not really, eating candy that's a century old will give you stomachaches."
"So, what is she doing?"
"Going number two."
"What's number 2?"
"Simply, taking a shit."
Hallow blinks, "Still don't know."
"So basically, you don't know much about humans?"
Hallow nods, "But I do know that they can get scared."
"Indeed."
Kyla comes back and she's clutching her stomach and groaning.
"I'll be like that too after that."
Kyla's eye twitches, "I hope so."
"Unfortunately for you, my body is used to eating old food, so I'm immune."
Kyla growls, "Grr..." Hallow sweat drops, "Ok."
"BTW Hallow, where's Cupid?" Sora said as he got up from his seat.
"Still asleep. Same with Jack."
"Ah, OK." He said as he exited the kitchen.
Hallow tilts a brow, "Where're you going?"
"Gonna go outside to train. You two wanna watch? Or if you want, we can have a sparring match." He asked as he headed for the door.
Kyla smirks and looks over at Hallow, "Wanna do a two on one?" Hallow shrugs, "I guess." The two run after him and they summon their weapons.
Sora then summoned his Oblivion keyblade, "All right, I'm game."
Kyla clutches her Scorpio Opal sword and Hallow readies her scythe. "You strike first." Kyla says to Sora.
Sora then turned around, "Don't blink." He then vanished.
Kyla and Hallow go back-to-back, keeping their eyes peeled for the brown hedgehog.
"Time I showed ya how fast I can go." Sora's voice echoed. Then, two illusions of Sora appeared only for a second before disappearing again. Then it repeated, increasing the numbers of illusions each time. 5... 12... 20... then the illusions started moving at supersonic speed around the two and everywhere in the area.
Hallow and Kyla started getting dizzy, but Kyla teleported away. Hallow gasps and then, she gets knocked down by Sora.
Then the illusions stopped. "Not a good idea to stay in one place, Hallow. Kyla?"
Kyla reappears behind Sora and hammers him to the ground with a large mallet and disappears. Hallow turns into a shadow and melts into the ground.
"Cheap shot." Sora said as he got up to his feet and picked up Oblivion.
Hallow appears behind him and turns her scythe into the shape of a mallet and whacks his head, which she then disappears into the ground.
"Gee, it's like we're playing whack a mole." Sora said to himself.
Kyla appears again, hammers Sora and disappears. Hallow appears, smashes him and fades into the ground. This continues for about ten minutes.
"One time... one more time is all I need to start bringing this castle down." Sora growled.
Kyla was about to hammer him one more time, but Sora catches it and throws her at the forming Hallow. The two then hit a tree. Sora claps his hands at them.
"Now that I'm really annoyed, you wanna try your luck against me now?" Sora questioned as he points Oblivion at them and looks at them with red eyes.
Hallow gulps. Kyla rolls her eyes, "With this Mario Mallet, I will defeat you."
"Then, come on!"
Kyla runs up to him and smacks him in the head with the mallet.
He didn't even flinch at the hit, "Nice try."
He grabs the mallet and throws Kyla to the ground, making a huge line of dugged dirt. She stops by a rock and Sora teleports in front of her, slamming his keyblade at her, making her go flying into the air and goes down. She slams on the ground, making a small crater. Sora towers over her and raised his key over his head, ready for the next blow. Kyla's eyes widened as a flashback appears in the back of her mind. "Rage! Please! Don't!" She shields herself with her arms as Sora starts to make his move. But, he stops an inch away from her head.
Sora's eyes widen as he suddenly dropped Oblivion and backed up a bit, "I... I didn't... mean to."
Kyla staggers back, "Rage... don't hurt me... please..." Hallow flies over, "What happened? What's the matter?"
"I don't know, it was all a blur to me." Sora said as he was holding his head.
Hallow patted his back, "It's alright. But... What's wrong with Kyla? I never seen her so scared."
"By my actions, I must have triggered a bad memory from her past... I can hear her memory in my mind... I don't know how, but I can... Rage did something bad to her... make it stop! Why can I hear it!? Get out of my head!" Sora said as tears started forming and started holding his head tighter.
Hallow starts to panic, "Oh bloody hell!" Kyla stops cowering and looks over to Sora. He looked in pain. She rubbed her head in pain, 'I'm gonna regret this.' Kyla wraps her arms around Sora and hugs him. "Sorry..."
Sora was surprised, but quickly hugged back, "I didn't mean to bring up that memory... I'm sorry..."
Kyla pats his back, "It's alright." Kyla lets go, "Rage... He's a wolf chimera. He has eagle wings, and lion claws and tail. We were friends when I was younger. Then he got abusive..."
"That's what I saw... that's why it hurts so much... I wish I was there to protect you... but it's already been done..."
Kyla laughs nervously, "Its alright. Silver was there for me. But the bigger thing is..." Kyla smiles evilly, "I killed Rage and turned him into a doll~"
Sora lets out a psychotic laugh, "He deserved it."
Kyla laughs with him, "Yes he did." Hallow stares at them in confusion, "Um... I never thought you guys would KILL someone."
Sora then stood up and wiped away his tears, "I may be a hero, but I do have a dark side. Of course, I only kill those that deserved it."
Kyla sheepishly laughed, "Yeah... Same here. Heh heh."
Hallow glares at her, "What did you do?"
"Heh heh, well back in Tinseltown, I kinda... Well... I killed everyone and turned them into dolls."
"OK, that... is disturbing."
Kyla laughs again, "Couldn't help it."
"Wait, then what about Taylor and Silver?"
"Taylor lives in Maplevalley and Silver lives in Central Station."
"Ah, I see. So basically, you made Tinseltown your own personal playground?"
Kyla nods, "Yup. It was fun while it lasted. Now I have a collection of dolls in my basement."
"Ah, I see." He said as he walked over and picked up Oblivion.
Kyla popped her fingers, "Yup. I'm a real psycho at times."
"Funny."
Hallow sweat drops, "Bloody hell, man."
"Yeah." Sora said as Oblivion disappeared.
Kyla laughs nervously then rubs her back, "Man, you hit hard kid."
Sora stretched his arms, "Oh, I needed that exercise."
A vein popped up on Kyla's forehead, "But you didn't have to flip out."
"I would when I'm really annoyed, since you two played Wrack a Sora for ten minutes."
Hallow looks over at Kyla, "But where in bloody hell did you get that mallet?" Kyla shrugged, "Mario."
"You got it from Mario? Ha! I would like to see the look on his face."
"Yeah. He was about to hammer Bowser up, but I grabbed it before he could make his move."
"You know, you probably made Mario have a really hard time."
"Hey, I'm buds with Bowser. Even though his daughter Maia hates my guts."
"Ah, I see."
"Yup. So I did Bowser a favor."
"Indeed. So, shall we head back?"
Kyla nods, "Sure. I wonder if Cupid or Jack are awake."
"We'll see." Sora said as they headed back to the castle.
When they return, half of the castle is covered in ice. Hallow's jaw drops at the sight.
"Looks like Jack is awake." Sora said as he walked around.
Hallow's eye twitches, "My... My castle..."
"We know, Hallow, we know."
Her eyes glow redder, "Jackie~ I'm gonna kill~ You~" She then disappears.
"Jack better watches his back. However, why do I think it might not be him?"
"Well, who else has the power of ice? Elsa from Frozen?"
"Yeah, but this is not her dimension. I must be paranoid or something."
"Eh? Ok. Let's go save him from Hallow."
"Yep." Sora said as the two run off to find Jack
They make it to the castle and find Cupid and Jack. "I'm telling you, I didn't do it!"
"I know! Try telling that to Hallow when she finds out!"
"I knew it. Someone else did that." Sora said to himself as they walked over. "You guys see who did this?"
Jack and Cupid look over to the two hedgehogs. "I did!" Cupid said, "But I only saw it's shadow."
"It's shadow? Must have been something instead of someone."
Cupid shrugged, "I don't know. Plus I heard a laugh, like 'Ho ho ho ho!' And it's NOT North."
"If it ain't North that did the laugh, I only know one other person that has that kind of laugh and that's Eggman. But how did he get here if it was him?"
Kyla clutches her fists, "I don't know, and I don't wanna make a guess. But I think Omigi brought him here."
"Omigi can travel between dimensions, which explains how she found us here. That must be possible since the two worked together before."
"Yes. But wait... I know Eggman helped her but didn't he put her in a jar to conceal her for his experiments? It was Omigi... me... and a third. Huh."
"Do you remember who the third one was?"
"Meph... Mepher? No... Mephipes? No... Mephiles? Maybe. Yeah."
"Mephiles? Oh great."
"What?"
"I faced him before, keeps saying to come to the dark side during our encounters. Annoys me a lot."
"Next thing we know it, he says 'Sora. I am your father'."
Sora laughed at that, "That would be so screwed up."
Kyla scratched her chin, "Or what will be worse, Mephiles is my father and Omigi is my mother!"
"That would be very weird." Kyla nods at that.
"So, where has he gone?"
Kyla shrugs, "I don't know."
"Well, we need to find him. If Hallow finds Jack now, there's no telling what will happen."
"I think she'll chop in him down in size." Cupid said while sweat dropping.
"Oh yeah, so we need to find the real culprit and fast."
A large shadow appears in front of them, "Heeeeere's Hallow~"
Finished! What will happen next? Will Hallow kill Jack? Will Sora and Kyla stop her? We'll see next time. So until then, we will see you in the next chapter, buh bye!
