Man this was a tough year and I couldn't even get over the fact that our school got blown to pieces. What was I supposed to think? Whose fault was it? Dang. What was next?
Everyone was getting ready for the trip. Our principal didn't want to go. He said that he would slow us down sense he was so old. Ok that was his decision, but did he have to put it so before us. He gave us the coordinates. We were scheduled to leave after the fourth of July and that was fine with everyone. We had to figure out transportation. Recently all airports and such things have been shut down because of the holidays and because of more heartless attacks. I was already ahead of them. I was leaving to the due date to tell them.
Worlds were, rumor went, forming with us and there were so many. But only the major ones made it. Mega-Man was one of them. I had a net-navi named Roja. To make a long story short, Roja was part of a Navel-slash-Army base somewhere. No one knew where it was. It got attacked and Roja's real master got killed. She wandered around the Internet and got lost. I found her in the Net-Navi World. She didn't accept me at first but now I'm the only person she can trust. She had a red, black and white, human type Net-Navi. She had a skirt that used to be a cape that her master made her. It got really battered up while traveling the Internet.
...Or maybe Pokemon is your path of choice. I was a Pokemon collector. I didn't believe that there ever would be a Pokemon Master. So I ended up collecting and training Pokemon hoping to catch them all. However, I didn't wish to collect the legendaries. I believed that they were meant for experience. They were meant to be seen by people and understood, not captured and only one person to enjoy them. Let them free and let everyone get to see them. I'll try to catch the rest. I have most up to date.
Rod had a weird way of surprising me. The times he chose to do some stuff were just weird, especially this one. We were about a few days till we had leave and Rod wanted me to meet him at his house. Ok, that was fine. He also told me it was a surprise. Now I was scared! I rode my bike to his house and knocked on the door.
"The doors open!" His mom says. I walked in the door. Rod heard me come in and he walked to the stairs.
"Come up, but don't go to my room yet." Rod said. I walked up and I waited in the computer room. I could hear Rod whispering. What was this guy up to? He hadn't been this mysterious sense he's been "borrowing" Roja. This was getting weird.
Rod walked over to me and said, "Ok you can come over here now." He then shut the door. I got up and walked up to the door. I paused at first and then I opened the door to find Roja. She was in a robotic body. You couldn't tell it was a robotic body though. He out did himself. My eyes widened in surprise. I walked up to Roja. She had been downloaded into some sort of program in the robot body. I walked up to Rod. I looked at Roja. I started to tear up. My heart thumped. Why was I feeling this way?
I wipe away my tears. "Thanks" I said.
"Think nothing of it." He said in reply. "Why you crying?" Roja stood up.
"Because my dream came true. She had been hoping for a while now that someday that someone would put me into a robot body. She was so happy that I get to walk on soil, not data." Roja said. I nodded. She was right. It would be really cool for her to walk around like a human being for once.
"Zero Eight is the next to get a body. I hope that works out ok. If Roja needs to go back, she needs to use this plug and she can get loaded back into the Net-Navi World. The body will just stay behind here." Rod explained. He gave me all the stuff that I would need for Roja. We headed to the front door. When Roja walked she didn't make any noise. The joints were silent. That's exactly how I worked. My body was exactly just like hers. Well, it worked just like it. That seemed odd that he knew how to do that kind of stuff. Roja and I headed out.
It's the Fourth of July and tonight was the biggest set of fire works in the county. We had almost everything straightened out, the questions we were to ask and everything except transportation. Well, I was way ahead of them. I might have as well told them now and I did. They seemed to like the idea.
Everyone was at the park, Brady, Smith, Tremour, Rod, Roja, Cindy and me. We all were sitting on a hill waiting for the fire works. It was so gorgeous. There were stars everywhere. A blanket of stars covered the sky. It was so beautiful. I heard a couple of footsteps and I looked to my left to find Mrs. Brady and their one-year-old son, Owen. They walked to us. Owen walked, barely, to his dad, Mr. Brady. I felt light at that moment. I heard and felt a boom. I looked at the sky and the fire works were starting. They were beautiful. The lights were so bright; it took a while for my eyes to readjust to the lighting. I suddenly had the urge to go to the bathroom. I stood up.
"I'll be right back." I said as I stood up. I headed for the bathroom. Rod looked at Tremour.
"Do you want to talk about it?" Rod asked him. Tremour looked at him. He gave him a questioned look. He had no clue what he was talking about.
Rod said, "The last day of school." Now he knew what was up and he just looked at the fire works. Tremour kept his voice low so that everyone else wouldn't have to jump in and they could keep it private. Tremour looked away.
"Not here." Tremour said to Rod.
"Yes here, that way Megan doesn't have to hear it." Rod said to him aggressively, still in a quiet voice.
"I've already told Megan! I don't want to tell you."
"You said we would when it was over and when Megan got out of the school. One thing led to another and we forgot. So yes, NOW!" That time he was really loud, but no one really noticed them talking, that moment that seemed like the perfect time to talk. Tremour looked down. He decided to start in a way that would just get it out and done.
"I pretty much killed my father. I had no choice though. He was going to kill Megan and well, that wasn't going to happen." Tremour said as he clenched his fists. All Rod could do was stare, stare into an everlasting abyss. He looked at the fire works. Tremour looked at Rod.
"Why do we fight with each other? I mean, we always fight and I really don't want it to continue. You seemed to have hated me from the beginning. I never really did hate you, even though you almost killed me quite a few times. I'm surprised she didn't leave you." Tremour said. Rods eyes widened. He was right. Why did I stay with Rod? "Why do you hate me so much?" He finished.
"Well, I . . . uh . . . hmm . . . " Rod started. He put his hand under his chin in thought. He continued, "Well I think . . . I was . . . jealous." Rod covered the back of his neck with hands hoping he wouldn't get a red neck from Tremour. Tremour looked at him with confusion.
"...If anything I should be jealous. She hung out with you more than me sometimes." Tremour said.
"Yeah but she always hung out with you after school." Rod said. Then they just realized something. Their eyes widened even more in surprise. The reason why I always hung out with them separately was because that if I hung out with them together they would possibly make a racket and kill each other. Also, I would be able to get quality time with each of them alone. They would also get jealous. This I didn't want but did. If they would get jealous then they would have to confront each other and resolve it in any way necessary. They would eventually make peace or die trying.
It was the only way I knew of in order for them to make peace. They realized that with me going back and forth all the time between the two of them would be kind of stressful on my part. I wanted to spend my time with the two of them and they were too uptight with each other to understand. They both stared at the floor. They felt horrible about what they had done over the past couple of years. Rod had been trying to kill and/or hurt Tremour for who knew how long and he felt like crap. Tremour was trying to figure him out when he should have tried to become friends with him. That would have been a lot easier.
They heard me coming back and they both scooted over to leave room for me to sit between them. I sat down and I looked up to see the grand finally of the fireworks. It was beautiful. I noticed that Rod and Tremour weren't fighting and I looked at both of them. They were concentrating on the fireworks and I just let it go. I looked at everyone and I saw the happiness that they have lost. The heartless have taken everything and I noticed that they all were happy, Brady, his wife and kid; Smith, relaxed as ever, Cindy seeing me happy for the first time in a while, and to see Rod and Tremour not fighting. This was a once in a life time thing and I had better enjoy it.
The fireworks were over so we gathered up our stuff. We walked to our vehicles and I had to have a word with Rod and Tremour. I was half worried because I could have gotten them started into a big fight but I have to try. I pulled the two of them away from everyone else and started the chat.
"So, you guys didn't fight. What's up with that?" I started. They both looked at each other than at me.
"Well we kind of just . . . um . . . " Rod started.
"Oh come on. I know Tremour will tell me." I looked over at Tremour with 'fluttery' eyes. That didn't work very well so I switched up to the puppy dogface. Tremour just looked at me and shrugged.
"Ok, lets just say we started to understand each other . . . and we are going to be 'buds'." Rod said in a quiet tone.
"...So no more killing Tremour?" I asked.
"...No more trying to kill Tremour." Rod said. I got really excited. Finally, peace was made! I started to run to Cindy. Brady and everyone else had left and Cindy was waiting for me. All three of us, Rod, Tremour, and me, all got into the car. And we drove off with Cindy.
Rod and Tremour looked at each other and they grinned at each other and put their arms around me. Tremour looked over at Rod and Rod looked at him. Tremour stuck his tongue out at Rod. Rod grinned again and leaned in and got him in the back of the neck. I looked at them both and started laughing. I knew they would want my attention and that was ok. They tried to hurt each other from then on but they were never fatal. They grew up to be men, but for now they were still boys and I hoped they would soak that up and take it for advantage. They didn't have much to live for and they better understand.
The day had come. It was the fifth of July and we would leave for the temple. A lot of Key Masters, Blade Master, and their friends came to give us a farewell. Everyone was at our dock in New York. The Temple was on the other side of the ocean. I got my pokeballs out. I sent out Gyarodos, Lapras, and for protection I also had Lugia from my Gameboy Color. I unleashed Lapras and Gyarados. They leaped out as they felt the sun. I pulled out my Gameboy Color and a pokeball appeared on the sensor of the Gameboy. I pointed it to the sky. Lugia came out of the pokeball. It spread its big huge wings and landed on the water with Lapras and Gyarodos.
"Lugia will be our protection incase of an attack of any sort. I will ride Gyarodos and you guys will ride Lapras, that ok with everyone?" I asked Brady, Smith, Tremour and Rod. They all nodded. We are all going. I had everything we needed, my laptop, some cards for entertainment, and our blades. We also brought with us some food and water and some hygiene products, all in our own backpacks. We were pretty much set. Brady gave his wife a final goodbye and to Owen. Rod's parents came and gave him a good bye. His parents didn't even know that he was a Key Master. He told his parents that it was a camping trip with his friends and there would be adults. They fell for it easily. Tremour and I gave our goodbyes to my parents. My step mom handed me a Bible to read just incase I needed some hope. She also gave Tremour a necklace with a cross on it.
Dad walked up to me and gave me the biggest hug I could ever get from him. He also walked up to Tremour and gave him a note. He told him to not read it until they were out at sea. My stepsisters were going to miss me. They handed us drawings of us together. Smith just said goodbye to the other teachers and staff. Our principal wasn't coming because he was afraid he would slow us down and because of there not being enough room to travel with him. He handed Smith a sheet of paper of the questions we were to ask. He put it in his back pocket. Before we left we had to give a fare well to everyone. I got up on Lugia and flew high enough for everyone to see and hear us. I had to speak pretty loud.
"Everyone please listen up . . . " Everyone turned to Lugia, and me "We appreciate the support you all have given. This trip had been planned for a while now . . . and we hope everything goes according to plan. You guys have no idea how exciting it is for me and the rest of the gang to go on this trip. We will come back with answers, will find the Keyblade Master. We will end this battle, this war. This darkness will be lifted and the light will leak through. I have a feeling that the Keyblade Master is coming back with us. I don't know why but I just know it." I clenched my fists and shot one of them into the air. "WE WILL WIN THIS WAR AND WE WILL KNOW AND FIND THE KEYBLADE MASTER!" That moment was an awesome feeling. Everyone cheered and screamed like it was the first of January, confetti even flew. I looked around and saw Cindy. I had Lugia put me back down. I ran to her and gave her a big hug. I soon saw Roja running toward me as well. She joined in and we ended up with a big group hug. Roja looked at me and she put her hand out and a Key appeared in her hand.
"I am a Key Master Megan!" Roja said. She looked at me and started to jump up and down. I looked at her and was very excited as well. This was great. Roja would watch over the city and all back at home and we could go on this trip. Cindy looked at me.
"I found this power hidden in her. It must have been part of her body." Cindy says. I shook my head slowly and looked at the two of them.
"No, it was not in her body . . . its part of her soul. It also was Destiny." I replied with a grin. Roja had to also grin. I looked at everyone at the dock. Smith was checking to make sure we had everything, which we did. I look at Rod and Tremour and see them getting along for once. I actually had to rethink at first because of forgetting that they made a truce between the two of them. I looked at mom and she looked at me. She spoke up.
"You can always call me on the laptop, so you better be good. I'll call every morning and night." Cindy said. I nodded.
"Come on Megan! We are heading out." Rod and Tremour called out. They had probably just planned that one out. It was to well done out for it to be an accident. I got all excited. I hugged mom and Roja and got back on Lugia. He flew high into the air. I called out all the stuff that we needed and Brady checked one last time. We had everything. I gave one final look at New York. The wind was soft and gentle. My hair was always in a ponytail and it blew like a ribbon, no a flag. I looked up at the beautiful sun and put my shades on. It glowed radiantly. I looked at everyone below me and we were off. Lugia led the way while Gyarodos and Lapras followed. I felt the wind in my hair and started to miss mom already. I gave Lugia a couple pats on his shoulder and he drifted me to Gyarodos.
"Why do you get to ride on Lugia and Gyarodos, while we're stuck with Lapras?" Rod asked as I got on Gyarodos. Lapras looked at Rod with a mad look and she squinted his eyes. Rod put his hands up showing that he didn't want any trouble.
"Not that you are a bad Pokemon or anything . . . " Rod said in reply to Lapras. I looked at Gyarodos then at everyone else.
"Because the fact is . . . they're my Pokemon. They won't let anyone else ride them except Professor Oak and me." I said as I stuck out my tongue at him. Rod just rolled his eyes. Tremour had to laugh and he did. He almost fell off of Lapras.
Everything that we needed were in our back packs and on a huge raft that was being pulled by Lapras. We could have used a boat but we would never make it. We wouldn't have enough gas and even if we did, if the boat had a problem and broke down we would be sitting ducks. The Navy could have come with us but what was the point of that when they couldn't do any damage to the heartless.
"I hope everyone brought some sort of entertainment cause all I brought is a deck of cards." Smith said while waving them in front of Brady. He knew that he wanted to play a game of poker or something. Brady nodded and they took out the cards and started to play "Bull Crap." Rod pulled out his PS one and played it on the portable screen, while I had Gyarodos pull ahead of Lapras and I felt like queen of the world standing on Gyarodos's head. I felt like Rose from Titanic and the wind was beneath my arms. I closed my eyes. I then felt someone put their arms on mine. I turned around and saw Tremour. We looked into each other's eyes. We were locked in our gazes. I felt us being lifted. Gyarodos lifted us up as high as we could go. I was the queen and he was my king. For a short time the world was at peace.
Gyarodos didn't take Tremour as a threat and that kind of made Rod kind of jealous. He wanted the chance to ride on a cool Pokemon and he blew it this time. He got off of Lapras and tried to get on and he freaked Gyarodos and he flew us both off. We both landed in the freezing water. We both came to surface and Gyarodos checked on us both. This Gyarodos was different then all the rest. He was considerate and cared. I looked over at Rod and I got infuriated and wanted to beat his head in. Smith and Brady kept away from us and let us try to solve the problem.
I got out of the water and tried to chase after Rod. He too ended up in the cold water. He had disrupted my peace. A peace that I hadn't felt in along time and he ruined it. I jumped back in the water and I started to swim toward him. To make things worse on his part, I summoned forth Forbidden and started swinging it back and forth at him. He started to panic a little and he headed to Smith and Brady. Tremour got on Gyarodos and whispered something in his ear. Rod was about to get his butt kicked, when a big Hydro Pump came out no where. It hit between us and I looked up and saw Gyarodos and Tremour looking down at us. Lapras stopped and Smith and Brady stared at the three of us.
We all stared at each other and we all were mad at each other. Tremour wanted us to stop it and that didn't take long to take into effect. I got back on Gyarodos and Tremour got on Lapras with Rod. I dismissed Forbidden.
The sun was starting to set and a beautiful combination of yellow, red, pink, and orange covered the sky. Rod got to sleep in the raft and Brady slept on Lapras with Smith. I got to sleep on Lugia and Tremour got Gyarodos, so we were all happy. The sky had so many stars that it alone could light up the night. There was no moon and that kind of disappointed me, but it's all good. I was up most of the night and I just couldn't sleep. I sat up and Lugia was still up as well. I heard Rod get up and looked over to see him squirming. I looked at Lugia and he headed for Rod. I looked in the raft and Rod looked up at me. He sat up and saw Lugia.
"Um . . . can I . . . " He started. I nodded. He got on his knees and put his hand out to Lugia. At first, Lugia kept back but eventually let him touch him. Rod grinned. I gave them the signal to keep it down a little in hoping that they wouldn't wake everyone else up. Lugia was like a swan. He kept his wings tucked in like a swan. He had the grace of a swan, but the voice of the gracest whale. The song could soothe the soul. His feathers were like silver and his eyes were of a legendary beast.
"Um why did Gyarodos flip out like that when I tried to get close like that?" Rod asked. Lugia started to give a 'cutey' whine and he wanted more. He put his head into Rods chest. I started to grin.
"Don't you see?" I started. "You approached him too quickly. You see that right now you approach Lugia with patients and don't send him a violent message. Pokemon are very cautious of their surroundings. You must be patient, something that I haven't seemed to remember to keep. I always seemed to have gotten out of hand in finding the Key Blade Master. I always felt that he or she is near and I always think that we found him but we end up in disgrace and failure. To be honest, sometimes I feel like the Key Blade Master is closer than we think and we don't need to go on this trip." I looked up and saw a beautiful sky. A second later a shooting star shot across the sky. "I wish that this war was over." That was all I said. The night glowed a beautiful dark blue and white diamonds. I tried to touch the sky but it was an infinite and I wanted too so badly. I reached and reached but couldn't touch it. I wanted that infinite that wasn't touchable, that peace, that light, that life . . . the heart of the alpha and omega. I cried.
