Disclaimer: I don't own Kingdom Hearts. End of story…
Kanarah J: Thank you for telling me this and for the advice… but no thank you at the same time… What you said did rather hurt me, but didn't at the same time. I know that people keep making these plots…but I really don't give a shit, as you can tell.. :D
chibi blue mouse: Yes, Maleficent is a bad little bum…nut. YAY! Account! And I know that I'm rather scary when I review others stories…sometimes people just have to live with the fact that I am an odd person.
Lozzieh: Yes…reviews…-flails arms- Wuuuuuu…
snow-kitty231: Myeas…and so the plot DOES take place! Or…does it? Hnn
Chapter Eight: Welcome To Your Life
"How the heck am I meant to defeat that…that THING!?" Sora, Aly, Goofy and Donald stood in the middle of the court yard facing the new giant armoured Heartless that appeared before them not so long ago.
Aly sighed and took hold of his arm, moving it around. "You swing this around, and then you hit that thing over there while you are swinging…" she instructed.
"Ugh! I know THAT!" Sora yelled, pulling his arm away.
"Oh, then why are you asking such stupid questions!?" she shot back.
Standing on the balcony, Leon and Yuffie watched the bickering teenagers.
"This…is pathetic," Leon moaned. Yuffie nodded her agreement. "Hey, you can talk!" he laughed, turning to her.
"Shut it, Squall!"
"That's Leon!" They turned back to the fight as Aly and Sora jumped out of the way of the Heartless' flying foot.
Yuffie scratched the side of her head. "Do you think we should go and help them?" she asked.
Leon shook his head. "Nah…I want to see what these kids can do…"
Aly lobbed her hammer at the Heartless' head as Sora was punched in the stomach, the wind getting knocked out of him. His eye sight went blurry, and he fell to his knees after he made contact with the brick wall. He started to cough, and he swore that he saw blood come out. But other than that, Sora was in the most pain that he thought he could ever be in. Aly tried to run over to help him, but was blocked by another metal hand.
"PISS OFF!" she screamed, focusing all of her force into her foot. Surprisingly, the strength of the kick threw the hand off course and into the middle of one of Donald's thunder spells. She stood there triumphantly as it vaporized into thin air. "Donald!" she yelled in the ducks direction. He turned to her. "Go and heal Sora! I think he's dying…"
Sora, who was still half conscious, moaned.
Well, isn't she un-concerned?
"CURE!" Suddenly, all the pain seemed to reside from his body, and he felt a warm light surround him.
"What the…"
"JUST THANK HIM ALREADY AND GET YER BUT MOVING!"
He turned to Aly. "SHUT UP!"
Aly pouted. "Meanie bean…" But other than that, Sora seemed to have gained newly found energy. The former disappeared Keyblade flashed back into his clenched fist, and he charged at the monster. He threw himself at the Heartless, his Keyblade glowing with strength in his hands, and smashed it straight through the body. Aly stood gaping.
Wow…her head mentioned. It seems a whole lot more impressive watching it from this angle…
Sora landed firmly on the ground, and looked at the weapon in his hands. "Cool…" he murmured. Then, he threw the Keyblade in the air. "I'M SO AWESOME!"
Leon smiled as it fell back down onto the kids head, making Aly laugh loudly and stupidly.
"This kid is something, all right…"
Riku crossed his legs as he tried to make himself more comfortable on one of the sofas that Maleficent told them they could sit on. Neru had chosen the smaller couch, but Riku insisted that she looked too tired, and that she needed to sleep. So she got the bigger one. The whole time that they were there, he had been watching her. Not so long after they arrived, Maleficent had left to work on some important matters that she had to deal with. Riku didn't know what they were, but it didn't really bother him. He just sat, being warmed by the fire, staring at Neru. She was so…fascinating. He didn't know why. She just was.
Twenty-seven…twenty-eight…twenty-nine… His mind silently counted, eyes moving from side to side.
Okay…now this is just sad, Riku…He silently threw his hands into the air with frustration.
Thanks a lot! You made me loose count, dipshit! Yes, he had decided that he needed something to do. So, while Neru was sleeping, he had started to count her freckles.
Well, you wanted something to do that involved looking at little miss cuteness! With his hands holding his head, he glanced at the sleeping girl.
Her lips look so…kissable…He slapped himself.
NO RIKU! BAD THOUGHTS! But the other side got the better of him this time. He walked over, and stared down. His mind seemed to block everything out around him, and he looked at Neru's perfect face.
Heh…He furrowed his eyebrows and shut his eyes.
No, no, NO! Stop, you retard! But nothing could stop him. He was on a role.
I promise that I'll be quick, Riku. He squeezed his eyes tighter. He leant down.
You're making a big mistake…Quickly and softly, he landed a small kiss on her lips. Actually, it was more of a peck. Neru mumbled, and rolled over. She didn't notice anything.
Now…that was really…stupid. I feel like a bloody bird! Riku had run over to his couch, and sat himself back down, his face bright red.
It's your fault, mate. I was going to go kiss the girl full…but nooo…you had to come in and stuff it up! Riku looked around the room, and then stopped at the fire place.
It's not MY fault that I'm acting like a conscience! Unlike YOU! The flames danced around, warm sparks escaping and hitting the bricks around them.
Hey, hey…I'm only acting how he wants me to act. How he wants himself to act. You're just being Mr. Right and trying to screw with our happy plans! He got no response from this. I guess that settles things…
After more hours of counting freckles, Maleficent made her way back into the room to gather the children up.
"So, we're going where now?" Riku asked. Neru was still asleep, but it didn't seem Maleficent cared. She just wanted to talk to Riku.
"We're heading upstairs," she replied. Riku turned to Neru, and blushed again.
I don't want to wake her up just in case, but… "I need to bring her with me," he said. Nice and straight forward. As usual…Maleficent looked at him, a tinge of yellow to her eyes.
"But why…do we want to wake her up from her nice sleep?" Riku paused, and Maleficent smiled. But then Riku started to nod.
"Yeah…I need to wake her up. She needs to come with me."
Maleficent sighed. "If we must…" And so, Riku shook Neru awake, but she never came too fully. She was all drowsy, so Riku hoisted her onto his back, and went off with Maleficent.
The girl is coming too…
This is going to be more difficult than we planned…
We must be rid of her…
"They, too, have been seeking the wielder of the Keyblade," Leon explained. Sora nodded, and Aly sighed, completely bored out of her mind.
Donald and Goofy both ran up to Sora together, and smiled widely. "Hey, why not join us!? We can go to other worlds in our ship!" Donald asked.
Sora lifted his head, his face showing hints of sadness. "…Riku and Kairi…?"
"We'll find them, too!"
Aly looked up at them. "Hey…is your ship…a…Gummy Ship?" she asked, suspiciously.
"Uh-Yuck! Yup! It sure is!" Goofy replied.
Aly smiled, but in her head, she was thinking of something completely different.
I'm going to get really pissed off being around him… but other than that…
"Can I see it? Your ship I mean…" she asked again.
While she was arguing with their two new companions, Leon confronted Sora by himself. "Sora…go with them." Sora looked at him, and as he was about to say something, Leon went on. "Especially if you want to find your friends." Sora bowed his head.
"…okay."
Aly walked over to him and slapped a hand on his shoulder. "Sora…welcome to your life!"
Soon after, Donald and Goofy showed Sora and Aly to their ship. Aly had suddenly disappeared out of sight as Donald showed Sora around.
"Goofy, go look for the girl…I really don't trust her…" Goofy nodded and 'Uh-hyucked' again, then left to find the wandering Aly. Then he turned back to Sora. "Well, this is our ship! And-"
"DONALD!" They were interrupted by Goofy's urgent voice.
Donald sighed. "What now…" They ran to the opposite side of the ship, and found Goofy standing above Aly, who was sitting on the ground and rubbing her jaw. "What is it, Goofy?" Donald asked. But there was nothing really to be said after he saw why she was massaging her mouth. "MY SHIP!" he screamed. "WHAT DID YOU DO TO IT!?"
Aly turned to see the bite mark on one of the corners. "It IS known as a Gummy Ship…I wanted to see if the rumours were true…"
"Look! That little squirt took down the giant Heartless!"
"Such is the power of the Keyblade. The child's strength is not his own."
"Turn him into a Heartless. That will settle things quick enough."
"Those two are the King's Lackeys. A couple of bilge rats, by the looks of them!"
"You're no prize, yourself."
"Shut up, you--!"
"Enough.
The blade has chosen him.
Will he conquer the Darkness…"
…or will it devour him?
Sorry that it isn't too long…I'm tired and I need to get off the computer.
Hope you like!
