*Riku*
I would call it a bad dream, but I'm not this twisted. If I had been drugged then why was everything so crystal clear? If I was completely sober and fully conscious then why did the girl I tried to kiss just have something so horribly terrifying come out of her, like it was her Nobody or something? Fury that was her so called name. I guess it's about the best you can do to describe her, or what you would expect her to be. Night mares for one month please! No who the hell am I kidding? Nightmares for the rest of my effing life is more like it. I would gladly be possessed by Xehanort's Heartless again, or fight Xemnas, or go through Kingdom Hearts, through the door to darkness, to fight endless shadows. Anything but this. How could the girl I cared so much about be this?! I fully took it in, examining this creature in front of me, noting her terrifying appearance. She had long black hair that ended in bright red. Her bangs were also bright red and covered one eye. Scary feature number 1 please: Her eyes matched her hair, the bright red part that is. Her eyes were blood red, with vertical pupils. She had red, cat slit eyes. She seemed to take everything there was to see in and more, like she could see things that I couldn't. Her skin was pale, like she shunned the very idea of sunlight. Her physique was identical to Lauren's. She was her height, and probably her weight too. The only difference seemed to be that she had painted black nails. Her veins weren't anymore noticeable then anyone's in the way they appeared, except that her veins were a deep purple. Like something other than blood flowed through them. She wore a simple black tank top with a strange symbol on it. It was a heart in the same design as the heartless symbol but the inside of the heart was black like her tank top and the outline was red.
The mark of the Dark Beings, in case you wanted to know.
I gasped, who was in my head?!
The girl with the red eyes who goes by Fury
I looked up to her eyes to see that she wasn't even looking at me.
I don't need to. Well, I'll leave you alone for a little while. Let the visions grow more horrendous and then I will put you out of your misery and tell you the facts. Yes, your fear amuses me. Guess your sweet and innocent blue-eyed girl wasn't so sweet and innocent after all. She's killed people you know. So have I.
Get out of my head
Fine, fine
I opened my eyes and waited, half expecting her to say something else. She didn't. What the hell was that?! I didn't get an answer, thankfully, so I went back to noting Fury's appearance. I avoided making eye contact with her, as if that would convince her I wasn't as scared as she thought. Because I was as scared as she thought, maybe more.
She had on a black skirt that was slashed diagonally, the shortest point being around the middle of her thigh and the longest part being just past her knee. The skirt was torn at the edges, like it had been burned. I could barely see the corner of a pair of black shorts that came a little past the shortest point of her skirt. It was a weird outfit but somehow I didn't think she really cared how she looked. She also had on a pair of black Goth boots, almost knee high with the classic silver buckles. In her right hand was a black sword with a red hilt. The blade seemed to crackle with a blackish form of lightning, probably some form of darkness that she had power over. She did say she was a Dark Being. Whatever that is. The sword tip looked deadly. There was a whooshing sound and a gasp from somebody and all of a sudden Fury had wings coming out of her back. Yes, wings. Well of course she has freaking wings! I mean, doesn't everybody?! I officially decided that I was going into a panic attack. Her wings were both covered in feathers, the left wing was pure white, and the right wing was pure black. I would guess the wingspan was somewhere between thirteen and fourteen feet. I understood the black wing, but the white one confused me. It didn't look like she had an ounce of light in her and white symbolized just that.
Both my wings were black until Lauren came.
That makes no sense at all whatsoever. Now go away.
You're no fun
My head was mine again and I looked at her in the eyes, momentarily swallowing my fear. Of course I all but puked it back up when she smiled. Her smile was the creepiest thing ever. Probably because people like her weren't meant to smile, but mostly because the pair of fangs that were revealed. Sharp white fangs that were pure white, like the rest of her teeth. Lauren looked at Fury and something passed between them, only then did I realize that they probably could mentally talk to each other too. Hell, they were probably the same person a lot of the time. The thought put shivers down my spine.
"Well that's about it on appearance." Lauren said before clapping her hands together. "I guess I should go ahead and explain now."
"Leave." All heads turned to Sora, who was glaring at Lauren. "I don't want to know, none of us do. I just want you to leave and never come back to this place."
"Well hate to burst your bubble Spiky but you're the reason we came here, and we can't really leave until we explain. The fate of all the worlds depends on it." Fury said, acting completely casual. Everyone was in shock from that but I was the first to recover.
"You leave Sora alone" I said, stepping in front of him and summoning my blade. Fury looked amused.
"Don't laugh or I will stab you." Lauren said to Fury, who just shrugged
"Fine" she said, turning her attention back to me.
"As if you, Mr. Silver Haired Bastard, could even do the slightest bit of damage to me. You have no idea who I am, but I can give you a hint." She leaned forward and whispered one word to me that I immediately knew was true
"Unstoppable "andas if to prove it she snapped her fingers and I collapsed to ground, writhing in pain.
"Leave him alone!" Lauren shouted. A silver and black blade appeared in her hand and she lunged at Fury, who blocked the attack with her blade, her concentration broken. The pain faded and immediately I was asked by a few people if I was ok. I nodded before standing up. Lauren and Fury had stopped fighting already and were looking back towards our little group. Lauren looked Sora in the eyes; her two sentences making my blood run cold.
"I'm a Keyblade Master too Sora, that's why I came here. I need your help if we are going to protect the worlds from being overrun by darkness" Damn. Lauren removed the small keychain from her blade and the Keyblade, in all its gold and silver glory, appeared. There was something about blades that made it easy to tell when one was a fake blade. But this wasn't, no mistaking.
"It was told that one generation, and one generation only, would give birth to not one but two Key bearers and their actions would decide the fate of the worlds forever." And she was one of them? This Lauren/ Fury disaster?! Fuck. Lauren looked at me
"That wasn't very nice"
"Oh so you can hear me too?!" I asked angrily. I felt hatred stronger than any other hatred I'd ever had rise up in me. I wanted to kill her. "Well of course! You can just say things into my mind and we just have a great talk without anyone knowing! We could've had one at any point in the last 48 hours and not even once did you think to tell me, or any of us, who the fucking hell you were?! Instead just made us think you were who you weren't! You lied and pretended and you were just going to leave without telling any of us?!You just let us believe a lie. People like you shouldn't even exist! I don't know what the hell you are but you aren't normal. You're some sort of freak of nature, you're like a Nobody. You have no right to exist."
"I was going to tell you." She whispered, before shaking her head, obviously realizing that was pointless now. "I probably shouldn't exist." She looked at me and dropped the Keyblade. "So go ahead and kill me, its what I deserve. I don't want to be in pain anymore"
I sneered at her "Like I would give you the satisfaction of finally being free." She dropped her head and sighed.
"I told you that you wouldn't be able to get out of it that easily. No one will kill you and I won't let you kill us so you're pretty much stuck." Fury said. Lauren nodded sadly
"I guess you're right" she mumbled sadly.
"Of course I am" she replied
"You explain, I can't do it"
"Whatever"
Ok everyone listen up. My Other is being a lazy bitch, again-
I'm not lazy
Judging from the looks on other peoples faces they could hear what I could too. It sounded like Fury was going to mentally tell us what the hell was going on. And apparently Lauren didn't consider herself lazy, like I give a damn.
Anyways, I'm going to tell you about me. Me as in Fury. Lauren can explain Lauren later. This will be boring. For me anyway. Ok so the symbol on my shirt is the sign of a Dark Being which is what I am. Dark Beings are the parallel of your heart in that the more light your heart contains the stronger your dark being is. Everyone with a strong enough heart has a dark being. Unless of course you're a Princess of Heart. They don't have Dark Beings. I know for a fact that Sora and Riku have dark beings although Riku's sucks because he has like 0 light in his heart.
Stop picking on Riku.
Like he wants you defending him.
It was true; Lauren and her defense could go to hell for all I cared. I also realized Fury had just told everyone that I had been lying when I said I was handling the darkness in my heart and that it was barely even there anymore. I had been lying, which just made everything worse.
Anyways on to the next thing. Yes, my eyes are red. Congrats to Tidus for figuring that out. You don't look like the kind of person who would know their colors.
Stop picking on Tidus. Don't pick on anyone.
Like I said, they don't want you defending you. They all hate you. Riku hates you the most.
My eyes give me the ability to see in pitch black as if it were a sunny day outside. I can also target people's weak spots and I can see the exact locations of all the pressure points in the human body which makes it easier to kill people.
Did you have to mention the killing part?
Are you done interrupting? Why don't you just listen like everyone else? Anyways I can also see if a person wields some sort of weapon and then all the specifics of the weapon plus its appearance. Also if someone gets hurt I can see exactly where they were hit. Not that I ever use that last ability - my anyways. Oh and I can also see people's emotions. Next up are my wings. I use them to fly….very quickly. Ok next one. I have no blood. Instead I have venom. That's where the fangs come in. No I'm not a vampire. Yes I bite people with my fangs which poisons them and gives them about 5 seconds to live. There is no cure for the venom either so if you are poisoned, you're screwed. No I don't suck people's blood either and no Selphie I don't sparkle in the sunlight like the vampires from Twilight. I am very good at hand-to-hand fighting so no luck there anyone who wants to find my weakness. That isn't it. Finally I have my black sword which is indestructible and cannot be used by anyone but me. It's filled to the brim with the power of darkness which makes it very, very dangerous. Yeah the tip is very sharp and can cut you if you even use the slightest amount of pressure on it. Ok second to last thing- I have one weakness and it's that I can't heal worth a damn. I rely on potions. I'm only telling you this because I'm probably going to be fighting with you, yes with you, for quite a while. Assuming you all want to save the worlds. You are all free to come. Its free admission so congrats. Finally, I am the most powerful Dark Being there has ever been.
*Lauren*
Riku hated me the most? Well that's unexpected. But I'll take the hatred like a big girl and deal with it. I probably won't survive this journey anyway so it's not a big deal. Everyone who is coming on this journey will just have to trust that Fury and I won't murder them in their sleep.
Finally I'm the most powerful Dark Being there ever has been.
Good you're done.
Yup
"So…now what? I'm guessing you guys are all coming with me and Lauren and Fury to help save the worlds right?" Sora asked. Everyone nodded their heads.
"To the gummi ship then. Kairi can you write a quick note to all of our parents saying we haven't died?" he asked. Kairi nodded and headed over to the shack where I assumed they had paper and a pencil or something that you can write with. Everyone else headed towards a small opening in the ground that led into a small tunnel. I grabbed Fury's hand and we quickly combined into one form, before following the others into the small tunnel.
"This way." Selphie said, offering me her hand after I ran into the wall.
"I know its kind of hard to see and I always ran into stuff before I memorized the way through here- don't worry we are almost there." She said reassuringly. I took her hand and decided I liked Selphie the most right then.
Why don't you just let your eyes turn red? We are the same person again so naturally you can do that.
I'm trying to get these peoples trust back! Or at least get on their good sides.
Well good luck with that. Mainly Riku, he hates you with a burning passion
That's too bad. Well I'm no stranger to hate so I'll be fine but he's just gonna have to suck it up and deal with it.
Because we don't wanna have to deal with his moody shit!
Right!
Just then the tunnel opened up into a room that was just big enough for all of us to stand in. The walls were covered in different drawings. Directly across the room was a door that had a golden glowing outline. I leaned forward hungrily.
The Heart if Destiny Islands.
That would be something- ugh dammit! It's getting to me again
The old instinct. Although it isn't instinct, just way things worked down there.
You were down there too long.
Your fault.
Riku must've noticed me eyeing the door and shot me an evil glare. I ignored it but I did look away from the door. Sora aimed his Keyblade at a rock, unaware of the tension in the air. Stars gathered at the tip of his Keyblade and a keyhole appeared on the rock. A thin blue stream of light came out of the Keyblade and hit the keyhole in the rock and a clicking sound was heard. There was a rumbling sound before the entire wall moved aside, revealing a cleverly hidden gummi ship.
"Everybody on board" Sora said before heading up the ramp. "By the way I'm driving, no one else. The only other person allowed to touch the controls is Riku, and that's only to man the weapons of we run into some trouble.
"Oh wait-there's something I forgot to mention." I said. Everyone looked at me, each face with a different emotion."Everyone here with a Nobody have their Nobodies, AKA Sora and Kairi. Everyone except Riku, who lost his heart when he was possessed by Xehanort's Heartless. His Nobody faded into darkness before they could combine to form one person like Sora and Roxas or Kairi and Namine. I'm going to go into the realm of darkness and find Riku's Nobody because we need him. We need all the help we can get."
"I'm coming with you." Riku said
"You don't even know who your Nobody is!" I said no way was Riku coming with me into the realm of darkness. That just screamed bad idea.
"And you do?" he asked
"Well duh how the hell would I find him otherwise?!"
"I'm sure Fury's magical eyes could find him" he said sarcastically
That isn't a compliment is it?
Not at all
He's still Silver Haired Bastard
"Your Nobody is Axel. Number 8 of Organization XIII" I told him. He didn't seem surprised.
"I'm coming with you"
"I'll see you guys on the ship! Be back in a couple hours with Axel!" I said before stepping back into a dark portal. I made extra care to close it before Riku could get through.
