Kingdom Eds: Rise Of Darkness.
Chapter 2. Night Of Fate.
Double D was sleeping in his bed, he was serenely thinking about travelling the world, how his friends Ed, Eddy and Alex would be going with him, but his dreams were cut short due to hearing a loud thunder clap.
" What was that?" Double D asked. Double D had looked out of his window as he saw a ball of darkness where the forest was, as it was slowly absorbing all of the forest.
" I knew watching monster movies with Ed would be a bad idea..." Double D said. Double D had stood up from his bed as he saw the creatures from the strange dream.
" Ah!" Double D shouted. Double D had ran through his window as he landed on Ed.
" Hey Double D!" Ed shouted. Eddy had looked at Double D with a confused look.
" Have you seen those monsters, i swear ever since that dream, things have been getting weirder!" Eddy shouted. Double D had raised an eyebrow at Eddy.
" You have them too?" Double D asked. Eddy had nodded.
" Ed has em too!" Eddy said. Double D had looked at his two friends with a confused look.
" You think this is a coincidence?" Double D asked. Eddy had shrugged, as Double D facial expression had changed to a worried one.
" Where's Alex?" Double D asked.
" Right here." A voice said. They turned around to see Alex with a neutral facial expression.
" Alex, what's going on?" Double D asked. Alex had walked forward five steps before stopping.
" The door has opened." Alex said. Double D had raised an eyebrow at his friend, as did the other two Eds.
" What?" Eddy asked.
" The door has opened guys, we can finally go to the outside world!" Alex shouted. Alex was suddenly enveloped in darkness as his friends watched on in horror, their own friend had gone crazy.
" I'm not scared of the darkness." Alex said as he held out his arm. The Eds had ran to their friend as they had gotten quite close, but then they were surrounded by darkness and tried to reach for his hand, but they were too late as the world around them turned dark, but a flash suddenly appeared as the Eds had key shaped weapons in their hands.
" Keyblade." A voice said.
" Keyblade." Another voice said.
" Keyblade." Another said. Suddenly the creatures had appeared as they surrounded the inexperienced fighters.
" We're gonna die!" Eddy shouted. Double D had looked at his two friends with determination.
" We run!" Double D said as his confidence disappeared. The Eds had ran into the forest as they saw the sphere of dark energy as most of the forest was destroyed, as the land they were standing on was removed from the ground as they were levitated in the air.
" Reminds me of Eds movie." Eddy said. The Eds had saw the creature from their dream appear as it had looked at them with it's menacing eyes.
" Eddy, we gotta fight!" Ed shouted. They heard a screech as they saw Nazz being levitated in the air.
" I need help!" Nazz shouted.
" Nazz!" Double D shouted. Nazz had landed in front of the Eds as she looked at them with a confused look.
" What's going on, and where's Alex?" Nazz asked.
" We don't know the answers to both questions." Double D said. The creature was about to attack, but Ed got in front of Nazz as he got in a fighting style.
" If you want Nazz you have to go through me!" Ed shouted.
" And me!" Double D shouted. Eddy had chuckled.
" You get yourself killed." Eddy said. Double D had gotten Eddy by the ear as he dragged him next to himself and Ed as they got into their respective fighting styles, meanwhile...

Alex had appeared in a room of some sort, and by guessing where he was, he appeared that he had landed in a castle.
" Looks like the darkness has got it's fine points." Alex said.
" Why do you intrude in my castle!" A voice boomed. It sounded female, as Alex just turned around and looked at the woman, she had pale skin was she had worn a black cloak and had a horns protruding from her head.
" I used the darkness." Alex said. The woman had looked at Alex with a crooked smile.
" Another?" She asked. Alex raised an eyebrow.
" Huh?" Alex asked. The woman had snapped her fingers as a boy at least 15, who wore a yellow sweater vest with a purple x on the front of it and blue pants, with blue shoes to match. The boy had silver hair and aquamarine eyes, and his muscles were quite big.
" What now Maleficent?" The boy asked. Maleficent had pointed at Alex.
" This boy has used the power of darkness to travel here, yet he is not afraid of it, nor is his heart tainted by it." Maleficent said. The boy had nodded. The boy had scanned at Alex, he thought he looked kind of cool, though that wasn't the point.
" Who are you kid?" The boy asked. Alex had furrowed his eyebrows at him.
" First of all, i am thirteen, second of all, I'm Alex." Alex said. The boy had nodded.
" I'm Riku, welcome to your new home." Riku said.

Now you would think that since the Eds are the heroes, they would be winning, correct? Well, lets just see about that.
" Man, this guy's tougher than the last time i fought him!" Eddy shouted. Eddy was breathing heavily, as was Double D, only Ed was the only one who was able to compete with the monster, and he wasn't even trying. The creature had slammed it's fist into the ground, as darkness surrounded it, Ed had jumped on it's arm and jumped towards it's face as he bashed it with his keyblade so hard that the creature was sent flying back a bit.
" Whoa Ed, how did you do that?" Double D asked. Ed had shrugged. The monster was too tired to fight back, as it had been lifted up towards the ball of energy, as was the land that the Eds and Nazz were on.
" Double D, do something!" Nazz and Eddy shouted. Double D had looked at them incredulously.
" How? The only one who could stop this was possibly Alex, and he is gone!" Double D said. The cul-de-sac kids had screamed as they were sucked inside the ball of dark energy, as they had lost consciousness.

A duck and a... thing were walking in a town as they looked up in the sky.
" Look, a star is goin' out!" The dog like creature said. The duck had walked forward, as he had obviously not cared about what his companion had said.
" Come on goofy, we gotta find that key quick!" The duck shouted. Goofy had looked at the duck.
" Sure thing Donald." Goofy answered.

The Eds and Nazz were unconscious as they were leaning against a wall, as a dog had run into the alley they were in and licked each of them. The four had woken up, as Nazz had looked at the dog and awed at it.
" Who's a good dog?" Nazz asked. The dog had chased it's own tail as Eddy had looked on in boredom, as he decided to look to his left and saw a boy with spiky brown hair next to him.
" Hey kid." Eddy said. The boy had ignored him as Eddy had noticed he was unconscious, as he decided to shout loudly in his ear.
" Wake up!" Eddy shouted. The boy had shot up in the air and landed on his feet.
" What was that?" The boy asked in a surprised tone.
" That would be Eddy's big mouth." Double D said. Eddy had growled at Double D.
" Hey, watch it!" Eddy shouted. The boy looked at the four as he looked at the dog.
" Hello boy." The boy said. The dog had ran up to the boy as if he was the centre of attention.
" Can you tell us where we are?" The boy asked. The dog stuck it's tongue out and ran away. The Eds and Nazz had stood up.
" Shall we get him?" Double D asked. The boy nodded, the five had ran out of the alley as they had looked around the place for the dog as they had noticed a sign.
" Traverse Town?" Double D said. The five had looked around them as they noticed they were inside a town square, as there were various people around everywhere.
" Let's look around!" Nazz shouted with glee. The boys had looked at her with a confused expression, and then a smile.
" Yeah!" The Eds and the boy shouted.

The Eds, Nazz and the boy were bored as they were sitting on the steps.
" What's your name?" Double D asked. The boy had looked at him.
" Sora." Sora replied. Double D had nodded.
" What's yours?" Sora asked.
" My name is Edd, with two d's." Double D replied.
" I'm Nazz!" Nazz shouted.
" My name is Ed, bringer of bacon!" Ed exclaimed. Eddy had looked at Sora with a blank stare, as Double D had elbowed him.
" Eddy." Eddy said unenthusiastically. Double D had looked at Sora.
" Do you live here?" Double D asked.
" No, i am looking for my friends." Sora said. Nazz and the Eds had looked at Sora.
" We are looking for a friend too." Double D said. Sora had nodded.
" Lets go somewhere else." Sora said. The five had nodded as they had gone around Cid's shop, as they saw a huge double door and walked through it, meanwhile...

Alex had rolled out of the way of an attack from Riku, as Riku had once again thrust his arm at Alex as a blue flame hit him forcefully, causing Alex to sit on the cold hard ground.
" Come on, you gotta try harder!" Riku shouted. Alex had got up as he looked at Riku and had channelled his rage and frustration into a weapon that materialised in his hand, which looked like Riku's soul eater.
" Good job, now hit me with it!" Riku shouted. Alex had ran at Riku at exponential speed as he had knocked Riku in the air and jumped up in the air, but Riku as quick enough to block some blows from the young fighter.
" Keep going." Riku said. Alex had thrust his arm at Riku as a blue flame shot at him and caused Riku to fall out of the air and sit on the floor, as Alex had landed gracefully in front of him.
" Wow, you harnessed the power of darkness quicker than me!" Riku exclaimed. Alex had twirled his weapon around in his hand.
" And i surpassed you too." Alex said with arrogance. Riku had looked at Alex with an annoyed look, but maleficent had clapped.
" Alex, you must go to Wonderland to capture the princess of heart, Alice." Maleficent said. Alex had looked at Maleficent with cockiness.
" Piece of cake!" Alex said arrogantly. Riku had looked at Alex. ' The power of darkness is fuelling his arrogance and cockiness, and his anger and frustration.' Riku thought. Riku had shrugged. ' Oh well.' Riku thought.

The Eds, Nazz and Sora had walked forward, until those creatures from the cul-de-sac appeared.
" It's the creatures from the island!" Sora shouted.
" What shall we do!?" Eddy asked with panic. Sora looked at Eddy with confidence.
" We fight!" Sora shouted. Eddy had gulped, as his keyblade had appeared in his hand as he hit one of the creatures and jumped back from a scratch attack from one of them.
" I don't have a weapon guys!" Nazz shouted. Sora had gotten out his keyblade as he bashed away all of the creatures, as they had dissipated.
" Whoa!" The cul-de-sac kids said. Sora had twirled his keyblade as he placed it over his shoulder.
" Too easy." Sora said with a smile. The five had walked to their left as they had attacked all of the monsters and went inside a hotel.
" Seems safe..." Double D said cautiously. Ed had ran forward, as he didn't notice a door open in his face as he ran into it, and fell on the floor. Whoever opened the door closed it again, as they didn't come out of their room.
" Little little little star." Ed said deliriously. Eddy had walked up to Ed while laughing as he got him up on his feet.
" There ya go Ed." Eddy said while snickering.
" Thanks Eddy." Ed said. The five had walked out of the other door, as Donald and Goofy had walked through the door the five had entered.
" Leon!" Goofy shouted.
" Leon!" Donald exclaimed. Donald had huffed angrily.
" Lets look somewhere else Donald." Goofy said.

They had walked up the stairs as they kept on fighting the mysterious creatures, until they came across a double door.
" Shall we?" Double D asked. Sora and the rest nodded as they had opened the door and walked through it. They saw that the room was pink, and seemed cheery and pretty safe.
" Cool." Ed said. Eddy had walked forward as one of the monsters appeared before him.
" Easy." Eddy said as he bashed it with his keyblade. The creature had disappeared as three more appeared.
" Is that all?" Eddy asked as he hit all three. They all disintegrated. Five more had appeared as Eddy appeared to look nauseous.
" What's up with all these thing!?" Eddy asked incredulously. Double D, Sora, Ed and Nazz had seen Eddy fighting the creatures as he looked impatient. They helped Eddy as they had defeated the rest of the onslaught, as they had sat on the floor, exhausted.
" I'm not going in here again." Eddy said. The five had stood up as they had dusted themselves off and walked through another door as Donald and Goofy had came through the door they had entered.
" He's not here either." Donald said. Goofy had hung his head as he had sighed.

The Eds, Nazz and Sora had been in another area where they saw a broken ladder, as Ed had tried to climb it, but was stopped by Double D.
" The ladder's broken Ed." Double D said. The five had looked to their right as they saw at least a 7 foot drop. Sora had jumped down, as did Ed, Eddy and Nazz.
" Come on Double D!" Eddy shouted. Double D had gulped as he had jumped down and landed next to Eddy. ' Strange, i didn't feel any pain.' Double D thought. They walked through another door, as Goofy and Donald had walked through where they had exited.
" Not here!?" Donald Shouted impatiently. Goofy had sighed.

They were in a house where they saw a lot of furniture, and two dogs sitting together, which looked sad. The five couldn't do anything about it, as they walked through the back door of the house, which lead them to another alley way.
" Man what a dump." Eddy said. The alley looked dark and dank, making it a possible place for those monstrosities that were the little creatures. They kept on walking, destroying the little bug like creatures while doing so, as they came across a treasure chest, as Sora attempted to open it, but Eddy had pushed him out of the way.
" It's mine!" Eddy shouted as he tried to open it, in vain. Eddy had gotten angry and smashed his keyblade on the chest, causing it to open.
" Ah ha!" Eddy shouted as he had gotten the item from it.
" Potion?" Eddy asked. He growled as he threw it at Sora.
" What was that for?" Sora asked. Eddy had stomped off through a door, as the rest of the group had followed him.

The five were inside the 1st district again, as they decided to go back to Cid, as they had backtracked back to Cid's shop, as they were leaning against the wall.
" Hey Sora, go outside will ya?" Eddy asked. Sora looked at Eddy with a glare, which Nazz thought was kind of cute.
" Why me?" Sora asked. Eddy had growled at Sora.
" Because i say so!" Eddy shouted. Sora had grumbled as he had walked out of the door.
" Gee Eddy, that was rude." Nazz said. Eddy had just shrugged. Sora though, was standing next to the door as he was grumbling hateful words about Eddy.
" Stupid Eddy, and his stupid three hairs." Sora grumbled.
" They'll come at you out of nowhere." A voice said. Sora had turned around.
" Who are you?" Sora asked. A man had walked from the corner of Cid's shop, he had long brown hair, dark blue eyes, and a scar across his face, as he wore a jacket, a white T-Shirt and jeans, with black boots.
" And they'll keep coming at you, as long as you continue to wield the keyblade." The man said. He put his hand on his forehead, as he seemed quite annoyed.
" But why, why would it choose a kid like you?" He asked. Sora had given the man a sharp look.
" Hey, what's that supposed to mean?" Sora asked as he got in a fighting stance. The man shook his head.
" Never mind, now, lets see that keyblade." He said as he walked forward.
" What, there's no way your getting this!" Sora shouted.
" All right, then have it your way." The man said as he got out a weapon. It looked like a gun and a sword put together. The man had jumped towards Sora, as Sora had ran at the man and whacked him with his keyblade with a three strike combo, but the man didn't feel phased at all, as he slashed Sora twice, causing Sora to be sent back quite far from the blow.
" Ah!" Sora shouted in agony. The man jumped to Sora, as Sora had gotten behind him and hit the man with a three hit combo, causing him to go rolling forward from the forceful blow of Sora.
" You little..." The man growled as he let his palm out as a fireball flew at Sora, but Sora had jumped out of the way. The man had jumped towards Sora, but Sora got behind him and hit him with the three hit combo, causing the man to roll forward again. The man had jumped towards Sora again but as he landed, he felt pain in his left leg as he knelt on it, his gunblade on his right, as the two fighters were in the middle of the square, as Sora had looked at the man with a dazed look, as he walked backwards.
" Now...you're...gonna... you're gonna..." Sora uttered as he fell to the floor. The man had stood up as he heard a voice behind him.
" Aw, your slipping Leon." A voice said behind him. Leon had turned his head around to see a girl wearing orange shoes, knee length socks, grey shorts with a blue belt around it, brown gloves with blue straps, a green vest held together by blue straps, and a yellow scarf, not to mention a white headband. She had black hair and dark purple eyes, as she smiled at Leon.
" I went easy on him." Leon said. He looked upon Sora's unconscious body, as he saw the Eds and Nazz walk through the door of Cid's shop.
" Looks like things are worse than we thought, a lot worse." Leon said as he looked at Sora, the Eds and Nazz.
