Distant Planets
What's up guys! For any of you who watch The Vampire Diaries, I hope some of you do, that makeout scene between Damon and Elena was awesome! So hot! I know this has nothing to do with Kingdom Hearts at all but still I am really happy about it! I just wish that July would come faster. We NEED Kingdom Hearts: DDD in English already! I know that there are a lot of scenes already put online, but some of them haven't been translated yet! I want to know what they're saying! And *SPOILER* I was a bit surprised and disappointed at how they showed that Kairi will now be fighting alongside Riku and Sora. I get it that she was strong enough to request Yen Sid to accept her offer, but it'll be a nice turn of events to have a girl fighting instead of the regular boy. But it would be nice to throw in another girl in there. I'm not saying that I'm jealous, maybe a little bit, but what about Riku? And then, what if Sora just sees Kairi as a friend and as nothing more? I'm just saying, I'm not bitching just stating my opinions. *Sigh* Well, here it is. I don't own. Square Enix and Disney do. I only own the Shadow Crossers, Kailee, Eliza, Kailee's family, Xylen, and Realm Chasers.
P.S. In the last chapter, when I said that Damon had two swords in his "songs", I really meant hands. Sorry, I was a bit unnerved writing the last chapter. :P
Bayou? What the heck was a bayou? Kailee puzzled over this. The only that she was sure of was that it was some sort of place, but other than that she came up blank. The Chaser explained to them that a bayou was a sort of swamp where many dangerous creatures were. It said that they had to make sure that they watched out for voodoo tricksters and not get entranced by the city life as much. The Chaser also mentioned that they had to make sure that they found the Shadow Crossers before the end of Mardi Gras, because it was the only thing they visited the bayou for.
"Will you be coming with us?" Kailee propped herself onto the gummi ship door. Everybody else had already said his or her goodbyes to the Chaser, except for, of course, Sora. He only promised to see the Chaser soon; he said goodbyes were only meant when you were never going to see someone again.
I cannot. I am needed here. I must make sure to keep the kingdom intact and stop any other Shadow Crossers that dare to come here.
"And Rapunzel and Flynn?" Kailee asked.
I will also watch over them. It's just that I have to be secretive. I must only make myself known when they are in peril. In any case, I must keep this world safe.
"Are you sure you want to fight your fellow Shadow Crossers?"
It wouldn't make much of a difference. Like I said before, the Shadow Crossers that have the red heart and black circle are beings made out of the darkness that oozes out from the cores of the worlds. Us, light beings, are normal creatures unraveled into supernatural beings after the keyhole to all worlds had been opened.
"We'll miss you," Kailee came up to the Chaser and wrapped her arms around the lavender-colored body.
Don't worry. As your friend, the one with the brown spiky hair says there is no need for goodbyes.
"Thanks. Hope to see you soon," Kailee began to open the door.
"Kailee wait!" Rapunzel came running up to her, gasping for breath. Her golden hair had been braided with many magnificent and fluorescent flowers and was now just barely brushing the floor.
As Rapunzel regained her breath, she held out something to Kailee. "This is for you and friends from all of us at the Kingdom of Corona."
It was a dazzling pile of golden stones, shaped like diamonds. They gave off a sort of magical energy as Kailee held them in her hands. "You didn't have to give us this, Rapunzel. Really, this belongs to you."
"I insist you keep them Kailee! You wouldn't want to leave me without these stones. They're very powerful," Rapunzel gave off a dazzling smile. "Besides, we have plenty of those stones in a secret underground mine, according to some miners I talked to."
"Well, thank you very much Rapunzel," Kailee nodded. "I hope to see you soon."
"Us, too," Rapunzel gathered Kailee in her arms for one last hug. Kailee noticed that Rapunzel was getting teary eyed as she waved to her and the Chaser. Kailee felt a pang of sorrow. She knew that she would probably see this world again, but in her heart she wasn't so sure.
I'm sure that they'll be able to take care of themselves since we already closed the keyhole. Plus, they have the Chaser and that cat-like Shadow Crosser, too. Who knows how many more good Shadow Crossers there are out there.
Just as the gummi ship rose up and departed from Kingdom of Corona, the hunched over figure watched as it flashed through the sky.
"Too bad the Warnless had to die," the black hooded one joined him.
"Do not worry, Xylen," the hunched one curled his hand into a fist. "By the time they arrive to Mardi Gras, I'm sure that their injuries will consume them and they will fall into darkness
"But, Mater Xehanort, we need the girl to live if we want to make the connection," Xylen replied.
"Of course. I have ordered the Warnless that I have sent over to them to simply paralyze the girl, so that her injuries will not consume her completely, until it brings her to us," Xehanort said, the ghost of a smile playing on his lips.
"And until then?" Xylen seemed worried.
"You really shouldn't fret, Xylen. Everything will go as planned," Xehanort turned to him. "For now, we shall go to the world of New Orleans. Prepare the vessel."
"Yes, Master Xehanort," Xylen stopped in his tracks. " What about Terra and Eliza?"
"Keep them in the pit cells. They still need to learn their lessons," Xehanort turned around and followed Xylen into the portal to their ship.
Kailee was bored. Not that she wasn't included into the stimulating conversations about Shadow Crossers, Heartless, and Nobodies with the boys, but she just didn't feel so right. She was, in fact, the only girl that was with them on their adventure at the moment. Although Kailee wasn't the type of girl to whine or complain, she at least wanted to talk to someone who could relate to her. She was really mixed up on how she felt about Sora.
There were some physical attributes that she liked about him. For example how his crystal, ocean blue eyes could be easily lost in and how his spiky brown hair looked softer than a kitten's paw. Also, on how fit he was. She was definitely sure that he could run three miles without breaking a sweat and still have time to fight a horde of Heartless on the way. Kailee also was stricken by how he was emotionally. Sora was kind, caring, a perfect gentleman, and respectful. Although, he could be stubborn and gullible at times, he could still pack a punch with his words. He was the one that saved her a couple of times from drowning and her own emotions.
And then there was Riku. Even though Kailee and Riku hadn't really spent a lot of time together, she still felt drawn to him. Yet, he reminded Kailee of her sister. Riku and Eliza both were the ones that seemed to always have a deep, dark secret hidden inside of them. Also they both had the same taste in clothing.
Maybe, if I get my sister back, I just might have to introduce them to each other. After all, Eliza will need to find someone that won't try to destroy her family. She'll need a secret, dark angel to watch over her one day.
"Kailee?" Sora waved his hand over her face, momentarily breaking her concentration on the attributes of the boys.
"What?" she said, annoyed.
"We're here!" Sora gestured towards the gummi ship's window.
""Welcome to New Orleans!" Donald said, a smile on his face.
They had landed on top of a warehouse building from the looks of it. Low-key buildings painted in light browns, faded yellows, and maroons surrounded them. A lot were squished together, resting on one another. In the streets below, a bunch of children were playing with each other, running down the streets, playing marbles, or hanging out on the stairs if their apartments. Small and humble restaurants were spotted by street corners and serving hordes of people at once. Just beyond, on the left, were poorer seeming houses made from wood and, down the center, a trolley. And on the right were grandeur mansions surrounded by fences and streets where bigwigs and their cars were driving around, flaunting them.
Other than that, the weather was sweltering. The sun was located high above, just in the center of the blue sky. A vast river stretched out under a bridge in the middle of the city. Not only that, but the sea was just on the outskirts of the city. The only thing that bothered anybody was the heat. It was pretty much the reason why everyone was sheltering themselves in the shade or in shops with huge windows.
"Wow!" Sora's eyes were wide. "Look at our clothes!"
Their clothes had done some modifying of their own to blend in to the New Orleans style. Kailee's hair had gone from long curly hair to a short mass of curly hair. She was wearing a knee length dress, the color black with small black heels. Adorning her neck was a long string of pearls and a red, knitted hat with a threaded rose on her head. Sora, Riku, Donald, and Goofy were dressed in pleated black suits with their jackets unbuttoned and their tie kind of unraveled hanging diagonally. Accompanying their outfits were black hats, which they had taken off and had them pressed to their chests.
"Now what?" Donald began tapping his foot.
"We should probably go look around and ask when and where Mardi Gras is," Goofy answered.
"How are we supposed to get down from here?" Kailee looked around.
"I think I know how!" a voice replied from below.
The group squatted down and looked over the side of the building. A girl with chocolate colored skin and a yellow dress with brown shoes looked up at them. She shielded her eyes from the sun. "You guys are a pretty weird looking bunch to me! What are you doing up there?"
"We just wanted to admire the view from up here!" Sora said.
"Well then how did you get up there then?" she said, her ponytail swaying in the slight breeze.
"We were running across the buildings and kind of got caught in a dead end here since it was a good place to see the town completely," Riku explained.
"I'll be right up to get you folks down!" the girl ran inside the building and began climbing some steps and coming out of an invisible stairway from the side of the building. The gummi ship was programmed to become unseen by people in other worlds, so the girl was the only one who didn't see it.
"You guys just get stranger the closer I get to you," the girl smiled. "I'm sorry. I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Tiana."
"We're Kailee, Sora, Donald, Riku, and Goofy," Kailee said.
"Nice to meet you all. Well come on then! Let's get you guys down and I'll invite you all to the restaurant down the street. My treat!" Tiana began leading them down the stairs. "There, we can chat about all of our lives."
Mickey was stirring inside of the magical pod that Yen Sid had created for him to see if he could treat the would better. It had only gotten worse. The whole left side of his face was now infested with pulsing black veins, each time emitting a red glow. The three fairies had immediately gone into investigation on how to treat Mickey, by going from world to world asking anybody magical about their knowledge on Shadow Crossers. Yen Sid was also busy going over his entire hidden library, filled with spell books, looking for a spell to maintain the wound.
Mickey had been having sudden nightmares. Every single one was of what had occurred a decade ago with Ventus, Aqua, and Terra. Each one ended with a terrifying image of slaughters of innocent people in all worlds. He woke up sweat beading down his brow. He struggled to maintain control of his own body but it had taken a mind of its own, the left side only. His left hand crackled with dark lightning and broke through the pod. He gasped at the sudden release of darkness and tried to fight against it by summoning his keyblade, willing it to shed some light onto the wound. Unfortunately, his left hand mirrored his action and summoned a keyblade of its own.
This keyblade was overcome with darkness. It was black with pulsing blue, electrical dots on the sides. On the end of it, instead of a crown like shape, it was a fanged arch opening. The handle was a dark purple with a red eye keychain hanging. The keyblades crossed and an explosion of light and dark combined was released. Mickey began to shy away from it but his body willed him to go on. As Mickey crossed the portal, he was immediately chained from all fours in the center of a black circle. Suddenly, an Illusionist emerged from out of the darkness and stared out at Mickey.
"What do you want?" Mickey challenged.
The Illusionist held up a small red case. "Your heart."
DUN DUN DAN! I'm sorry, I'm horrible at suspense. But anyways, I'm worried about Mickey too! I don't want to kill him! He needs to be saved! Yet, it would be a plot twister to see Mickey half overcome by darkness. And, I will be bringing in stuff from Birth By Sleep. I don't know how or why, but I'll try to make it work. And even Organization XIII members who were defeated and restored might make appearances. Maybe Lea….. But who knows. Review please!
