Chapter Two:

"Sora, roaming are we?"

The only sound in this building that anyone who attended this place would hear, would be his voice, a low soprano with authority that called for such a response of respect and honor, only to be granted for him, "Your majesty," I saluted.

"Would you happen to be returning from a mission or heading out? You've been keeping the hearless rates down and I will openly express how thankful for you and your fellow team members hard work."

I nodded, King Mickey was who ran this Academy, allowing everything to run smoothly as it did, it was all thanks to him, "I was heading to the team, we're being sent out on another training… course."

He nods, "Well you and your team will exceed with maximum effort, never ceasing to doubt me."

"Means a lot sir."

"Not an issue, well just thought I would find you wandering around, go ahead to your team now," I smiled, slightly amused with myself.

Echoing silence, my eardrums could've exploded by the empty atmosphere in this courtyard. I had to cross this before entering the even more silent hall, leading to the stadium, halfway, I stopped at one of the doors, the third from the first door I had passed.

I was staring straight down, where the sun had streamed down at the end of the hall, seeing an empty field filled with other students roaming.

I only assumed they were going to their classes.

I shook my head, slamming the door open, I could see that the light from the television set, up on the dresser on and illuminating the entire room, all males divided to do their own things. A blonde sprawled out on the couch, tossing up chocolate chips in the air and then letting them fall back right into his mouth. A brunette was sitting at a table over by the door, eating a from a bowl filled with mixed fruits. Lastly, the silver haired male, who was by the window lifting weights while looking at himself in the mirror.

…On a side note, he was douche, shirtless and constantly checking himself out.

"Alright the game here, is taking place in the next hour," I spoke calmly to myself. We are going to win, a crushingly defeat on their part and a boasting victory on ours… the record shows that my team is accustomed to a boasting victory, every assigned mission. No one said anything, I was unsure if they were listening, but I highly doubted that they would be ignoring me at such a time.

"The object is to win," I stated intently, though I could still feel my goofy grin, crooked and dry.

"Right," was the reply in unison.

"We're going to run, Action 2," I pulled a folded piece of notebook paper from my cargo pants, pulling the hem up from my black v-neck, to scratch my stomach.

"When did you create Action 2?" Riku, who was standing off by the wall next to a window, like some sort of depressed animal, shot me a withered look. This wasn't a blasphemy, I was the fucking leader here, it was about time Riku brought this to mind.

I was the shit and he was my right hand shit.

"Right out side this door, seconds before I walked in here, and this is the Action we'll be going with, got it?"

Riku sighed, showing he didn't care. I don't know why he always feels the need to question my need of authority, he shouldn't of anyways, he was a fast learner, effortlessly running my drills like he's been running them his whole life.

Not as fast as me… that was impossible. I had the fastest track time in this Academy.

White Castle Academy and Dark Castle Academy, are two top major academies on this world. Both schools, focused on their students to grow and flourish as artists of magic, magicians in simpler terms, and use us to fight heartless.

Heartless were the souls who wandered the millions of worlds, without any real true meaning. People who dissolved to nothing, their souls dissolving to nothing, only leaving behind the darkness trapped. Those creatures morphed from the hatred.

The students attending, prodigies like me, were at a higher rank.

I was Rank B at 18.

Most Rank B's were 20 to 30 years old.

I was fucking 18.

I was fucking amazing.

"Can you run it by us again, just in case?" Roxas murmured, standing up to join the rest us looking over the map.

"Alright, but I'm only going to go over this once, so remember it."

"Alright."

"They are assumed to run."

Riku raised a brow, "Was that in their profiles?"

"That was all that was in their profiles, I've asked around and there was nothing else I could've dug up on them."

Terra, who was silent up until this point, like usual, "That's all? They run?"

Riku rolled his eyes, "They fleet? What kind of enemies flees?"

"Riku, if you would like to 'flee' to Cid, so you can ask him 'what kind of enemies flees' be my guest."

Riku looked at me as though I was being unfair, which I was, "I was just asking."

"I was giving you an alternate ending to the question because if I was honest, you would cry."

"If I remember, you were wrong."

"Your mother was wrong and you were a mistake."

"Sora, you are a sad kid."

"Riku, you are depressed child."

"Sora, you are slow."

"If you want to see slow Riku, then see your second place time underneath my track record."

"If you think I give a shit, you are sadly mistaken."

"You are a sad mistake, Riku."

"Guys…" I look back to see Roxas shaking his head at us, like he always does. Him and Terra often saw Riku and me… bicker… it was friendly bickering, in the end, he was the one I would turn to.

"Riku is going to start at the large tree we marked off our first scavenge from yesterday, wait for the signal and chase the enemy like puny animals all the way to the mouth of the cave, chase them into the heart where Roxas will block off the right path, in plain sight. They will run in the left, then pursuing them to the second fork, where Terra will take the next enemy, allowing the last enemy to attempt to run for the final stretch facing me… and there's no way they'll win against us."

"Right," Another response in unison.

"Riku, you are going to conjure up wind making the draft in the forest strong, making them doubt their sense of direction. Roxas will use lightening as an offense to create a distraction, Terra will use ice as a defense to only allow one of the enemy in this sector to continue forward. I will use fire to finish the last offender off. Remember to not use anything other than the magic you major in, we're trying to show them that the only magic we can use is basic magic, one sign, unless in dire of need, don't upgrade to anything."

"Do you think… that we'll need to upgrade our magic?" Terra asked attentively, his mind focusing on the plans in front of him, "This game… this final mission, would require us to use the highest set of techniques, right?"

"Not unless needed, Terra," Riku who was flipping through a manual to something in front of him, I looked at Riku, "Well maybe some of us will need to."

Riku glared in return, "Like Mr Prodigy, himself?"

I was looking intently on the team, the Oathkeepers, even at Riku, who was in return, just as serious. Four set of eyes all just intently staring at each other, like the stillness wasn't enough to show how important this mission was. The last mission, if it went according to the plan I had set up.

Riku, Roxas, Terra and me were all circled around a sturdy wooden table, a large map outstretched on top, the label neatly written on the top as 'District 12 Barrier'.

Scanning the area with our own eyes, took at least 10 hours, walking around the forest to measure how many distinct steps it would take and what precautions we would do. Spitting into a near by trash can, I had to think more deeply about the steps of this plan.

There was Riku, the silver headed wonder, who was definitely one of the fastest in this group, who was designated member, which is why he was the one to lure in targets. Fast enough to confuse, detour, and force back the enemy to where the plan will truly commence, while still having the energy to push them all the way back. He used his sword to wield with his temper. He was my partner from way back when were kids, forcing us to recognize our talents.

Then Roxas, who was easily a quick member, always playing games with the opponents, constantly using confusion and self-doubt against the opposing player, also adding his basic magic major, which was thunder. Roxas was more of eternal flame man, witty with his hands, his weapon was basically a circle with blades that twirled around in his hands in such a deadly fashion, it was brought tears to his eyes. Roxas was also, the same age as me, training with Axel, the red headed kid i had beaten up when i was younger, who would've guessed we would become friends.

Terra, was typically all hands on, kind of guy. Using two different bases of ice or water as his magic major, his range still in training, considering he's always training, all the time. But he uses his fists for his action, different gloves to intensify his punches, just the artful fighter he always is. He was partnered with another man, Cloud, who ended up having a difficulty issue working with others.

The four of us had combined a team, when were granted a level high enough. It was exciting, though i never admit it to them, that i was finally enter the rank where i was apart of a team. A team that was so top notch, we've been on so many successful missions the king was noticing my skills standing out.

I was the king. Oathkeepers, leader. I was the fastest, the quickest, the wittiest, and probably the most to run my mouth off. I used this weapon called a key blade, which speaks for itself, a key blade which I used to defeat and attack enemies. My weapons is different, it comes to me like it's apart of me. Like I can call to it, and it comes all on it's own.

"Have you seen our enemies?"

I shook my head, Terra sighed, probably worried about something nonimportant, "They're from Dark Castle Academy. We won't have an issue."

"Because light always overcomes darkness Terra," Roxas states intently, his serious voice as serious as me, "Who are they to try to compete."

"Plus we have... Sora," I waited for Riku to attempt to make me look bad, he'd be a wonderful cockblocker if he tried, but he didnt. So he also finally came around to me too, which i have to honest, was refreshing, "That'll have us an easy win."

I could see how serious everyone was taking this, good.

Dark Castle Academy was a much more... indecent academy. More 'hardcore' if they would like to assume they are, though our school dominated too easily. Which was why this mission would bump us up to become offcial TITANS so fast, their whiplash would do nothing. After becoming a TITAN, there was nothing left but to become an official right hand man to the King himself, who's wife... actually ran the Dark Castle Academy itself.

This was tiring myself out.

We were going to win. End of story.

Riku punched my in the shoulder, I glared at him while punching him back, "What was that for?"

"You looked worried man."

"No. No, i definitely didn't," i mumbled.

I sighed, observing the mad carefully, "We need to do this right guys, if we don't, we won't upgrade until our next mission, i refuse to waste anymore time. We're the Oath Keepers. We need to-"

"Sora, we'll win. We always do."

We were in for a rough mission.
