I bought the KH2FM+. The game WILL NOT COME TO THE US. I will be REALLY surprised if it does, they have to get the first final mix out then too. To top it off I think people were confused when they read that the game has the American voices. The new scenes are dubbed at all only the COM for the PS2 is.
OH I think three armor guys are forms of the Organization Bodies, Roxas, Zexion (the girl) and Lexeaus. About Zexion being the girl is that I read in one of Noruma's interview he said that Marluxia was once a girl.
I have made my own speculation on the armor thing in this fanfic and don't know if it is true.
Chapter 13
When is a Raven Like a Writing Desk?
"Maybe I should put 'that' project to use now." Redd said as she watched the caterpillar slashed open by the keyblade and Sora fading to the sphere of light, were her imagination could not reach.
"WHICH ONE!?" The said dramatically. As he purred contently in Redd's lap, knowing that she had regained her abilities. "The one project with that Nobody, or should we let the others out?" The Cat asked as he leaped from her lap and shifted in his mid air twirl.
"Why my little spy, of course." Redd said as she snapped her fingers. A tabled and computer came out of the floor in front of her. "OH, the one rose of the Organization." The Cat said as he played with one of his balls of yarn. "Or as they named him the Graceful Assassin, Marluxia."
"Yes, I had had sent that fool a little present. He actually had no idea that Marluxia was a WOMAN made Nobody. Like he had made Zexion to be his fall back host. I had use one of my roses and a piece of my DNA and instead of making this Nobody a woman I made it man. Kind of the same way I was able to make myself a Heartless and a Nobody but still have my mind intact, all the same person just different parts are played. Then with him in the Organization I was able to get all my info and more."
Redd said as the computer worked on it's own. Redd using her imagination to control the computer AI.
"More?" The Cat asked as he tried to get his ball of yarn back from a pot of roses. Redd tired as she heard the hiss of anger come from her Cat. Redd smirked before she tilted her head and the roses folded in on themselves and died leaving the Cat to claim his prize.
"As, I was saying." Redd was able to get out before the Cat gave her a deep kiss making her body go limp. "As… as I was s-saying" The now breathless Redd started again. "Marluxia had planted a program into the castle it self and allowed me to study all of Xemanass' secretes."
"And what secretes did you find?" The Cat asked, as he change in his kitten and took his ball of yarn back with him to Redd's lap. "That Xenhort was to be a Keyblade master. Chosen by a mysterious man, a warrior of light I believe. But Xenhort abused the Keyblade given to him and joined the darkness." Redd said as she accessed Xemnas' own computer files at castle, showing a surveillance camera recording of an armored man. The footage was from Radiant Garden in Ansem the Wises old lab.
"And Xemnas as his Nobody was able to remember this, but I don't know if Ansem the Heartless knew this about the past. And to top it off there is an Amour that was given to him when he received the keyblade." Redd added as she pulled up a journal entry and a photo of the Armor.
"So how would the Nobody of Xenhort be able to remember this, unless!?" The Cat asked as it started to dawn on him.
"That the main body was still intact. A third self for example Sora being the human or original then Roxas the Nobody and the Anti-Sora the Heartless that is with Sora. Same as it is with me, but I have my Heartless combined with me unlike Sora, who hides and chains the Heartless." Redd said as she skimmed through the files again.
The Cat stared at her his ball of yarn long forgotten. "But where is that other self and are their more armored soldiers. I remember that one of the Nobodies saying something of the Keyblade wars." The Cat said thinking hard.
"Do you know the prophecy of the Keyblade, love?" Redd asked as she stopped her searching. "That the key will either being peace or the destruction of all, or something along those lines." The Cat said.
"That is correct, one of the newest key bearer of the darkness was Riku, but he tainted him self with the light and made a new balance, that of twilight, or as the Heartless refer to him as the Half bread. Akemi is the perfect blend of the Darkness and the Light, although the light maybe be much stronger that the Darkness." Redd said as she stroked the Cat again.
"But if the light is stronger in him won't he taint Kingdom Hearts?!!" The Cat asked franticly. "No, just as the saying goes there are many forms of happiness there are many forms of light. My darkness was my light as a girl and with out it I wouldn't have gotten my revenge one my so called 'family'" Redd snarled at the word. "Just because I was different thoughts and was the unwanted one, and my sister was to be Queen when I deserved it." Redd said now shaking with rage and tears.
The Cat changed and pulled Redd into a warm huge. "Shh, it's okay to cry, I right here." The said as he stroked Redd's back and licked her tears away. The Cat hated and knew that Redd also hated to relive her childhood.
"But there was one good thing that came out of all of this." Redd said as she pushed herself off of the Cat warm furry chest. "What?" The Cat asked as he whipped the tear stained cheek. Redd smiled before answering. "YOU" She said slowly as the Cat gave her another life draining kiss.
"They are back" The Cat said as he pulled out of the kiss and noticed one of the magnifying glasses showing Rosso and the other in the thrown room. "I guess we need to stop." Redd said disheartedly. "A Queen must always show her subjects the pain when they disobey their ruler." The Cat said before liking her cheek and changing.
Redd picked him up, giving him a squeeze before saying. "I love you" answered by another "I love you to" and they walked through the door and to the thrown room.
Redd's Domicile (Thrown Room)
"We are SO dead" Tira said nervous. "Calm down" Lust said irritated at Tira's childness. A portal opened next to Yazoo and Kadaji walked through. "Where were you" Rosso said rather than asked in irritation.
"I ran into the other Queen of Hearts and was forced to take care of the cards" Kadaji said looking Rosso in the eyes, telling the truth just not all of it. "Hmm" Rosso responded. "Well all you maggots better have something good for me." A voice said emitting from the doorway into the thrown room.
Redd walked in with the Cat, or kitten to the Nobodies, in her arms. Xemnas appeared out of a shadow portal. "Your Majesty!" They all said automatically and bowed. Rosso was the only one who did not bow to herself.
Rosso jumped backwards to stand next to the thrown. Redd walked at her usual pace to her thrown and sat down, her pawns rising as she did so. "What happened?" Redd asked knowing full well what happened, but took the delight in making her pawns squirm.
"We were the ones who had failed her majesty." Lust said being the first to speak. "Well we have an honest one, or maybe we have a really good kiss up. What do you say Rosso?" Redd asked as her other self leaned on the side of the thrown.
"A class A kiss up or maybe a dog pinning hoping to not be kicked." Rosso said sneering at her on joke. Redd's red lips twisted into a smile. 'What do you think we should do?' Redd asked as she raised her hand, suspending all of the Nobodies in front of her on invisible wires.
Redd snapped her fingers and an enormous hour glass appeared in front of her. Not moving an inch Redd turned the hour glass. Time froze for all in the castle excepted for the Cat, Redd and Rosso, giving them time to talk until the large hour glass ended.
"We have two hours at the very least." Redd said as the sand poured in a small stream to the base. "I think we should move things ahead. We need to get the Aeons out" "Or we could use the Princess of Hearts for the moment, giving you enough power to take the Aeons with the power of Kingdom Hearts." The Cat cut in on Rosso.
"But we need to kill the pawns to have that plan to fully work." Redd added. "And what about Leon and Akemi" Redd ended. "Use Leon to get Cloud and the others here, they will want to help Cloud and Sora, the more hearts we can feed the Kingdom the better." The Cat responded
"But when do we use Akemi, he may have a strong heart but he NEEDS to be the last heart to fill the Kingdom or it will fall." Rosso said irritated at the delay in the plan.
"I think it is time we kill the pawns and make them knights, and you attach the strings to the puppet Xemnas." The Cat said. "And what about that plan you have for the castle in the World That Never Was?" The Cat asked.
"I just need to have the original data of the Nobodies that Xemnas copied the fighting data and remake them as a little gift to Sora." Redd said. "I think we should start the plan. First" Redd said as she waved her hand shattering the hour glass into nothing and returning time to order. Tira, Lust, Kadaji and Yazoo were still in midair.
"Kill the pawns to make way for the knights." Redd said as four copies of her scepter appear over Tira, Lust, Kadaji and Yazoo's hearts. The scepters precise the crystals in their chest, they let out a silent scream as their battles came back to hunt them.
"Second," Redd said holding out her hand as her scepter appeared in her hand in a burst of red light. Redd pointed the head of her scepter at Xemnas as he summoned his sabers and his coat turned white and black. "Add strings to hold the puppet down." Redd said.
Her crystal glowed and Xemnas' body went limp, his face blank and his eyes pure red, mid dash for Redd's body. "Then back to one." Redd said as Rosso turned at a mere red sphere and melded with Redd.
"Third, have the knights come out." Redd said as she raised her scepter and Six crystal hearts formed in front of her. Each crystal heart had nine little red orbs in it. Redd slammed the bottom of her scepter to the floor with a loud boom. The hearts were instantly wrapped in darkness, as if a beast that had not been feed grabbed at it's long awaited meal.
As the darkness to a defiant shape, Redd raised her hands emitting a red light from the specter clutched between her figures. The light flowed openly from their crystal hearts beneath their skin, flowing as if the blood was pouring out of an open wound. The light surged up to their eyes, then as if they were being dyed in blood, the only color was a deep crimson.
Six figures were kneeling at the base of the stairs leading to her thrown, three woman and three males. "Hail Her Imperial Viciousness" they all said in unison.
Wonderland / Mushroom Valley
"So, now what do we do?" Donald was the first to say something after Sora came out of the clouded sphere. "We should go check on Alice and then go back to Radiant Garden" Sora said as he looked forlornly at once was the caterpillar.
"Ok" Riku said putting his arm around Sora's shoulder and pulling him close. The group walked through the mirror that had surprisingly been undamaged during the battle.
As they walked through the glowing looking glass they saw the scattered unconscious cards and some gone to the next life. "Damn" Riku said under his breath as looked at the after math of a battle.
"They have the only one more princess." Sora said as he looked over to see the white rabbit passing potions around and helping the others. "We should get everyone from Destiny Islands to Radiant Garden." Donald said as he looked to see the soldiers recovering. "Donald's right, we should get ready and plan ahead." Goofy said as they made their way out of the castle and toward a warp point.
As they entered the gummi ship Sora pushed himself out of Riku's embrace and went to his room in the Gummi ship.
"Sora-" Donald started but Riku stopped him. "I'll go you get the message out and make sure we get to Radiant Garden as quick as possible through the back doors." Riku said as he wlaked out of the control room to fallow Sora.
Sora and Riku's room on the Gummi
"Do you think I am a good parent?" Sora asked out loud, knowing that Riku was leaning against the closed door, looking at him with sadden eyes. "NO!" Riku half shouted as he zoomed to Sora's side and pulled him into his arms.
"But, but we have been doing NOTHING! We have just been stalling. I can't even save Akemi, I am SUPOOSED to be the light, savor of all the worlds, key to the door of light, and I can't even save my own child. What if he is hurt and crying, and hurt or he's-" "Sora" Riku whispered enough to make Sora stop mid rant.
"Sora, how do think I feel. If anyone is to blame it is me. I am your husband and was supposed to protect you and Akemi. I think now that 'what if' you never loved and I stayed in darkness. You wouldn't have to go through this, and all of this would never have been happening. You would have found someone better and would probably have a REAL family. Safe and happy in your great house and" "Riku" Sora said stopping Riku this time.
"I am sorry for being like this. I just cannot believe that I had to 'kill' a friend. I know Akemi is safe, I feel it in my heart, just like I can feel you, and I am sure you know also. But I can't stop myself from thinking how pathetic this all is. We should just kill this Woman and be done with it. But that would also mean I would be screwing up more, just like my first journey and someone might really get hurt." Sora ended by bearing his head into Riku's shoulder his tears just coming out.
"Shh, your right Akemi is after all OUR son and won't give up, especially if he has your strong heart." Riku said as he pulled Sora out of his hiding spot and kissed his forehead, wiping the tears with his thumbs.
"And has your smart, walnut sized brain." Sora added chuckling and making Riku do the same before they kissed. No tongue, no lust, just kissed enjoying the contact of the one they love the most. "We should get some sleep I think Donald and Goofy sent out the message and have the ship on auto pilot. Plus Chip and Dale or the alarm will wake us if anything really bad happens." Riku said as he pulled of his cloths and Sora did the same.
The pair curled them self in each other before they pulled the covers over them.
The only thing that was heard before they drifted into a semi restful sleep were the words 'I love you'
Radiant Garden
Cloud pulled the still sleeping Leon into his arms. The only light was that if the moon of Radiant Garden and the planets and stars. Cloud kissed Leon's forehead before falling to sleep with his love, hoping to some how meet the man in his dreams or have him wake up in the morning. So Cloud could start living again.
AN
Oak I know it's not as long as I would like it to be but I have to work up to the good fights and the little fillers and the Grand Ending. I would like to have Fifteen chapters. But that depends on how many cliff hangs I would like to feed you. Thank for this babble or what ever.
Oh and if anyone has read The Looking Glass Wars By Frank Beddor they will understand the thing with Redd thinking (In her head) That she is the hero. I also have some of the art work I doodle online. Just follow the link on my Profile.
Until next time.
