Chapter 5. Drill camp and other exciting adventures!
"Ugh…" Gin, Ryouta, Ichigo, Chiho, and Akako were all lying on the ground groaning in pain.
But Kaede and Yuki were both in a very intense battle.
Kaede's shinning light was burning right towards Yuki, but Yuki had blocked it.
With something stunning.
A long sword which resembled something very similar to a key. On the side of the key, close to the end, there was something incredible.
A large heart came off of the base sideways; inside of that black heart was a smaller turquoise one with a small crown. Hanging off of this heart was a chain in which too hearts were intertwined.
Yuki blocked the light, and threw it back dangerously at Kaede.
"You've done it now; you've surely drawn attention here!"
Kaede shrugged and looked sincerely up at Yuki in a pitting way.
"You knew it was going to happen sooner or later the Islands of Serenity can never stay the Islands of Serenity."
Yuki looked down in a thinking expression, before her incredulity came back.
"But now I have less time to train them!"
Kaede looked sorry, but her actions almost made you rethink that.
"You know I can't help, it's not my position the worlds are in more danger than ever… now that namine is…" She faded off with such a hurt expression.
"It's all up to you guys now, I'll be back I promise!"
With a snap of her fingers she vanished into a light unknown.
"Tootles."
The others were watching with wide eyes, as Kaede left they turned their attention to Yuki.
She was sitting on the ground utterly upset.
Akako and Chiho crawled over to her, only to get an unreadable look.
"We don't have time for explanations or bounding moments we need to train now!"
A with that everyone understood that something was happening. Something that would change everything, and as they looked out into the sunset shinning off the water they knew.
That after this battle, there would only be another and that the islands would never be the same.
It was like drill camp, with Yuki as your captain. Oh wait that isn't drill camp that was training hell!
You trained in teams it seemed like; Yuki paired them off and took them to the side to train them individually.
But it was hard, most of them just trained mindlessly as their thought wandered else where.
Their thoughts centered on what happened last night.
Flash back dance
Akako stared at her friend. Yuki looked so sad just so depressed.
Yuki stood up in front of everyone.
"Everything you know here everyone you met except us here, have been." It looked like she was struggling with the last par. "A simulation."
They all stared at her confused they dawning truth they all tried to push at the back of their minds.
"It's not real, nothing is it was just a way to keep you all safely together." Yuki stared down tears ready in her eyes.
Chiho's eyes were bulging with tears, along with Akako's.
"What do you mean not real?!" Akako yelled.
"You're lying!" Chiho screamed.
Ichigo and the other boys looked down as if they knew.
Chiho and Akako ran out most likely to confirm what had been just told to them.
Yuki and the others sprinted after them.
The hot sun and the atmosphere made the whole thing feel unreal.
Chiho ran to her house, and knocked on the door.
Where a happy looking couple opened the door.
"Mom, Dad!" Chiho ran and hugged them, but the couple gently pushed her away.
"I'm sorry miss but we have never had children."
Chiho's eyes widened and she back stepped out of the door. She stared unconisouly and could feel her heart pound against her chest, and as she turned towards Akako with her head down, she struggled with tears.
Akako tried to look hopeful, and ran towards Chiho.
"What happened?" She asked her high hopes becoming evident.
Chiho looked up, and tears poured out of her eyes, and in her soft whisper voice she replied.
"They don't have any children."
Akako fell back her hand covering her mouth and her tears coming now too. They didn't exist ever.
Yuki and the others had caught up now and Ichigo had gone over to comfort Akako while Gin awkwardly did the same to Chiho.
Yuki sat down too her hands covering her face.
They were all in the middle of the road, and the cars were going by them, honking angrily.
Yuki murmured to herself in a way so no one else could hear.
"Why now?"
Yuki knew she was being selfish too, wanting to keep her perfect little world with her friends running instead of having to save others.
Yuki didn't think this was going to happen but it did.
End of Sad Flashback
Kaede had returned after the training had made no progress what so ever.
She was teaching them magic now; I know it sounds lame to say.
But they were learning fast, each of them were casting different spells, and had regained some happiness.
They loved how wonderful they felt when they used it; Magic had that sort of effect on beginners.
It makes you feel powerful when you can conjure up stuff from the sky.
Besides Kaede was good with people much better than Yuki or her friends.
"Ok now when you reach a certain level you'll earn a key blade like Yuki's."
Everybody stared, and Yuki who felt much like a magician's assistant conjured up her key blade.
"That is if you chose to go in the key bearer path, sometimes you more destined to be witches like me." Kaede did a twirl and spun the air into a rainbow around her.
"That's where we need you to be, we know at least one of you will earn your special weapon and we need to get you to that level in three days." Yuki said grimly wincing, as the explanation was going to unfold itself.
"So how do we get there?" Akako asked one eyebrow cocked in suspicions.
Yuki looked at Kaede, and begged her to drop the verbal bomb, but Kaede only returned Yuki's look.
"You have to reach a level of desperation where your rage is directed completely and utterly at the heartless and nobodies." Yuki said knowing this explanation would take longer.
They all tilted their heads to the side, (well with the exception of Ichigo,) and gave a loud huh.
"Heartless are monster who capture others hearts and hurt them." Kaede snapped her fingers to have a picture float in front of her. On it was a strange black looking creature with big yellow eyes.
"Not very long ago they killed heartless with key blades version 1." A picture of a key blade floated up next to the heart less one.
"But that was a bad thing because someone was collecting the hearts, and I don't want to go into too much detail, but that place was called Kingdom Hearts."
A picture with several bright pink hearts strung together floated up as well.
"But what happened in the end was that the hearts were released and the heartless took them over again."
Everybody fell down in doom, as the realized that the people who had tried to kill the heartless in the first place efforts had been totally wasted.
"But that was a good thing." Kaede smiled earning some many confused looks that she giggled.
"Now The majesty and everyone a rebuilding Kingdom hearts so that we can control it! And we will keep the evil out of all worlds."
Everyone stared.
"It sure does sound like a lot of work!" Gin exclaimed.
"Tell me about it." Yuki groaned.
"Don't tell me were doing all of this in three days." Ryouta spoke up, who had been pretty silent lately.
"No!" Both Yuki and Kaede yelled.
"Were simply training all of you."
Yuki and Kaede both shuddered at the thought of having to defeat millions of heartless in three days.
By the time of the day after around four long hours of training...Akako, and the others had about had enough of this.
It was long and stressful, they all had mastered magic, but nothing else had happened. No master weapons, like they had to achieve, and after all of that hard work almost nothing.
Sure they learned how to zap stuff out of the sky, but nothing that would help them save worlds infested with heartless and nobodies.
Akako was sitting there anger radiating from her, which wasn't a strange pattern. The whole room was practically swelled in it. And the sad thing was that they couldn't blame anyone but theme selves, they all faced the fact that they just weren't learning.
I guess they didn't want to learn, it still didn't feel real, if this could happen so fast couldn't then why couldn't they learn that fast.
Yuki and Kaede sat a good distance away from everyone else, so no one could hear them.
Kaede looked down at the glaring and almost pouting.
" Warm up will ya?" Kaede came over and sat down next to her on the beach.
Yuki looked up, before glaring back down and saying in a monotone voice. " Are you sure this is going to work, and no one will get hurt?"
Kaede nodded before giving a wide smile " Unlike you who has been here building Team Destiny I have been training and I'm a very skilled witch!" Yuki rolled her eyes and gave a small smile.
Akako looked up to see something fall from the sky, slowly at first, and she looked up trying to figure out what they were. Small black dots almost covering the entire sky in front of her.
As they fell closer all of them stared before the things attacked.
Their were hundreds of them falling out of the sky, and the ones landing on the grounds were marching towards Chiho, Akako, Ichigo,Gin, and Ryouta.
They all tried running only to find there was a barrier blocking them, and those hideous creatures came closer.
" These must be those Heartless they were talking about!" Chiho screeched as she tried to fight.
Only for a minute did it take each of them to realize that they couldn't stop these things, not without...
The heartless came together molding into one body, an large fierce looking monster. It had stunning black, wings and stood taller than any building on the island.
The gasp and lines of worry were not enough to withstand their common rage.
" Our families.." Akako spoke trailing off as she stared at the beast.
" Our lives..." Chiho continued.
" And now this!" They yelled together, all of them feeling the rage.
" I don't care who you heartless are, but right now you're all going to pay." Ichigo spat out, with a fox grin from Gin, and a smirk from Ryouta.
Where was this coming from, all of a sudden, they had no chance none at all, but then.
The three of them stared as light emerged from each of their hands.
