You know the disclaimer (hopefully XD) and please continue reading on :3
~Ch.3 Found Ya~
Well…what the fuck? Where the hell am I? The last thing I remember was agreeing to help out Xion to come out of Sora. I blocked out everything else Yen Sid said prior to that statement…and yet I still remember what I said about tiny miniskirts (1). Okay, back to the topic. Let's see…Yen Sid mentioned something about this being a town…and a tower. Oh, what a pretty twilight sky…wait…oh what the hell, am I this slow to realize this is Twilight Town?
Let's see, what else did Yen Sid say? Something about Rocking socks? No…that's not right… Wait, Rock socks…rocks ass…Roxas! Oh, another thing people should know: I get very distracted easily and I have a short term attention span. Better get a video camera and record this because I'm bound to forget. Oh, right, I need to find Roxas. He might be up at the tower. Hey, I remembered something! Point one for team panda (2)!
I began to run towards the tower from the sandlot. As I ran, I noticed the people I passed by were just standing there, not moving. What the hell? Has time stopped already? The only thing I see moving is a kid with blond hair with ocean blue eyes, yin-yang based clothes, and I think he's about two or three inches taller than me. The kid was running towards me, and back towards where the sandlot was. Aw, I was just there too! I might as well follow him since he might be Roxas.
"Hey, would you slow down!" I shouted at the blonde boy. Seems like my plan worked, since he's skidded to a stop in the middle of the sandlot.
"What is it? Who are you?" the boy asked me with a voice that reminded me of Jesse McCartney.
"Call me Tori, and would you happen to be Roxas?"
"…how did you know my name?"
"A little birdy told me. By the way, you should come with me to the haunted mansion."
"Why should I? I just met you—!"
"—and this is crazy. But here's my number," I bring out a piece of paper with my cell phone number on it, "so call me, maybe?" (3)
Roxas just groaned at my comment, but still refused to come with me. I rolled my eyes and thought of one thing that I could do. Drag Roxas to the mansion by force. Yup, that should work. I grabbed both of Roxas' wrists and basically dragged him out of the sandlot, through the little train station that just went in a circle around a building or two, through the forest, and finally made our way to the mansion. Aw hell no, there cannot be a lock on the door!
I still dragged Roxas towards the gate despite his useless attempts on trying to get free from my grasp. Hey, even though I weigh about 100 pounds, I'm still strong and can hold people down to get a task done. No, I don't have an eating disorder or anything like that; I just don't get hungry that often. Besides, we're all connected in the great circle of life (4). Alright, now…how do we get inside? I doubt that DiZ would just let us waltz in.
"So you dragged me here just so I can see that there's no way in?" Roxas pointed out the flipping obvious.
"Oh screw you, Roxas. I'd figure you would know how to get in this place since you think you're a know-it-all," I snapped with a sweet smile on my face.
"Talk about creeper…"
Before I could think of a good comeback, there was a sudden flash of light in front of Roxas. In his hand, he held a blade that had the appearance of a key…a Keyblade? Wait…is that the name of it? Why the hell does it sound so familiar? I know Xion didn't tell me about it before she disappeared because I didn't see her for a while… Damn it, why can't I remember where that word came from?
Suddenly, there were these weird white creatures that appeared in a circle around me and Roxas. Why in the world are they dancing? I could tell that Roxas didn't want to fight them, and since the gate was locked, what else could we do? I prepared myself to fight with my fists against these weird creatures, but I don't think I stand a flipping chance. But when I heard something click, I turned around to notice that the gate was open. How the hell…oh, it was Roxas and his Keyblade…show-off.
Right away, we both ran in like we had fire burning on our asses, away from the white creatures. Once inside the mansion, I was…in a trance, I guess. Hell, my feet were taking me somewhere that I've never been, which was up the stairs, and to the left. I heard Roxas follow me like my own shadow as I opened a door that contained…ah fuck, I'm blind! Oh, wait; it's just a pure white room.
"Hey, Roxas…do you recognize this room?" I asked him while looking at the drawings taped on the walls.
"Yeah…I was talking with this girl…Namine?" Roxas wonders aloud, probably recalling the memory.
"Namine, huh…? Tell me, did Namine tell you that you weren't supposed to exist in this world?"
"Um, somewhat…she told me that I was Sora's other half. Did you meet Namine before? Did she tell you the same thing?"
"Why do I get the feeling that I'm being interviewed by the paparazzi? By the way…no and kind of…those are my answers to the two questions."
My feet were starting to drag me towards a weird drawing, which I took and left the room with Roxas by my side. I headed to the other side of the hall, which led into a library of some sort. Okay, unless this library has any manga, then I want out of here! But no, my feet had to drag me here! My feet dragged me, yet again, over to a table where there's two symbols drawn onto it. I looked at the piece of paper in my hand and drew the symbol from the paper, to the table.
Of course, something strange has to happen. The floor started glowing and expanding throughout beneath my feet. I ran along the edge of where the books were, and turns out, there was a secret room beneath! Have I gone mad, Alice (5)? I bet I have. Roxas casually walks down the stairs and into the room next door. I followed him, and upon walking in, I saw a computer room with a bunch of screens.
What the fuck? Why is Roxas venting out on the keyboard with his Keyblade? Eh, must be a process teenagers go through. Oh wait, I'm probably the same age as him…isn't he 15? I'll ask him later about it. Besides, I don't want my face to get wacked with a key. I kept on walking down the hallway, and the first thing I saw was pods. Wait a minute…how are the duck and the dog in those pods? I just saw them not too long ago!
"Tori; please come this way," I heard DiZ call out from the room in front of me.
I decided to obey his wishes since my feet wouldn't console with me! I walked into the next room and again, it was a pure white room with a giant pod in the middle. The pod contained a boy with brown spiky hair, and clothes that seemed to have shrunk on him. Must've outgrew them…I know the feeling. Standing in front of the pod, was DiZ in all his glory.
"So…I heard you want the useless puppet back among the living. Well, that cannot be done," DiZ said to me.
"Why the hell isn't she allowed to come back?" I shouted at him.
"It's all about gaining Sora's memories back…and that still includes you, no matter what Yen Sid says."
