Rallied Massacres

Hey guys! So I've been taking a couple of day's breaks because I've been doing some research to try and improve my writing in some way. I feel that my writing is pretty much rushed so I'll try and put a lot more detail to make the story a bit more in depth. So far, I've been trying to think about more scenes to make the story interesting, say as if I make Kailee get brutally tortured. I don't know. Just leave a review, please! Try and help my story!

Disclaimer: I don't own. Square Enix and Disney do. I only own Kailee, Kailee's family, Eliza, Realm Chasers, Shadow Crossers, Xylen, and the Warnless.

Two pit cells had been joined together as one in the underground dungeon. They were each made of shining quartz with crystal water bars that drowned you if you even dared to try and escape. The interior was painted in snow white, still fresh. Two bodies were laying side by side, floating in midair, surrounded by a blue, electric cloud that maintained them in their spirit form. One of them, the boy, had a mullet of brown hair that ran down to his shoulders. His lips were a ceramic pink and he had long, fluttering, hazel eyelashes on his closed eyes. The girl had long, jet black hair, coal black eyelashes and russet brown lips. The girl was wearing a crimson, strapless dress that fell to her ankles. He was wearing a loose cerulean shirt with matching slack pants that turn white at the ankles. Their hands were placed lightly on their chests. They seemed to be at peace, but deep inside, their hearts were filled with turmoil and longing.

It hadn't been this way always for the boy named Terra. He recalled that time when he was just laughing under a meteor shower with his two best friends, Ventus and Aqua. Terra had been antsy over his Mark of Mastery Exam so Aqua had made all three of them good luck charms, literally charmed. Even though they hadn't been made of actual seashells, Aqua knew that they could still be just as powerful as to make sure that no matter where they were; they would all still be connected together. Now, he wishes he 'd been able to see them one last time before being fully enveloped by Xehanort. Sure he had seen them in the Keyblade Graveyard, right before fighting Xehanort, but he had wanted to see them after as well because he thought they would've been able to defeat him. Too bad he had been much too ignorant to face the circumstances of having to fight Xehanort and now had ended up here, floating in midair, his spirit being the only thing he could keep that was part of himself.

Eliza's case was different. She had fallen madly in love with a mysterious boy who shared her passion for darkness. She had become a fan of it since she had undergone an accident that had ridden her of her popularity status at school. She had swerved off a cliff, from having spent the night drinking at a party, and had to get her face reconstructed. She was immediately kicked out of her group of friends and suspended from the swim team. Eliza had then dyed her hair black and changed her wardrobe completely after going into a sort of depression for 2 months. Soon, she was hanging with the lower class of the high school food chain, and fell for Xylen. After discovering that Kailee liked him as well, she ran off with him, making sure that she would never go back to her old life and start a new one with Xylen. Eliza had been tricked though. Once she had arrived to Xylen's house, an old man with a hunchback had confronted them. Eliza at first thought that the man was Xylen's grandfather or possibly his father. She never saw the light of day after because the old man had pierced his chest with a knife sort of thing and it was traveling inside her heart. Now, she was trapped, forever floating in her spirit form, the only thing she could still manage to keep control over.

Thankfully, Eliza and Terra could somehow communicate with each other through their spirit forms, since they were floating right next to each other.

Why did you run away? Terra asked thoughtfully.

I was jealous because my little sister, Kailee, was in love with Xylen. I thought I could solve it all out with running away with him, but I think it was what he had planned for me all along.

And so you ended up like me right?

Pretty much. But tell me more about what happened to you. Do you still miss Ven and Aqua?

Of course. They're the only ones that keep me fighting to try and regain control of my body. But we both know that our bodies have been occupied by Xehanort's heart.

I know. Who knows how many other people he has implanted his heart? Must be dozens more.

I just want to know if Ven and Aqua are still alive today. I think it's already been a few years since I've last seen them.

I wish I could've said a proper goodbye to my little sister. Slapping her in the face wasn't the best way to depart from her. God, I hate myself for being such a jerk.

Don't punish yourself so harshly for that. You were mad, so you lashed out. Sill it probably wasn't the best choice to do. I also hope that you see your sister again. I'm not saying that you should apologize right away, even though it is for the best, just that family is probably the most important thing to worry about for you right now.

I hope that you see Ven and Aqua as well, Terra. We're both going to need hope if we're ever going to be saved and returned to our bodies.

Xylen came by their cell to check on them. Apparently, Master Xehanort had been pretty precise to monitor the spirits now and then. He wasn't very trusting of the spirits just in case if they had somehow managed to slip through a sort of loophole and escape back and fuse with their bodies.

"Soon, you will be accompanied by five more spirits, longing to be in such a restful position as you two," Xylen smirked. "Too bad you both won't be here to see it."

The strange girl had been leading them around New Orleans for hours. Kailee's feet ached from having to walk in heels. The girl had told them that her name was Tiana, and that she had been brought up down by the humbler side of New Orleans. She was friends with one of the rich people in town, whose name was Charlotte La Bouff, who used to buy Tiana's mom's dresses that she had designed for Charlotte. She had also been kind enough to inform them that Mardi Gras was in three days, just enough time for them to rest up and buy costumes for the celebration. Also, that the building that she had rescued them from was soon to be hers and was going to be the most popular restaurant in New Orleans. After showing the group the neighborhood, Tiana invited them over to a popular café where she worked. It was her shift right now so she decided to leave them to talk amongst themselves while she took orders from other guests.

"How are we ever going to repay her for helping us?" Kailee propped her head on her hands.

"Well, first off, do we have any money on us right now?" Sora searched his pockets. "I've got nothing."

"Me neither," Riku and Kailee said in unison.

"Why don't you make some money with your magic Donald?" Goofy pointedly suggested to Donald.

"I have a sort of spell to conjure up money, but there are too many people here," Donald responded.

"Why don't you take him outside?" Sora looked over to Goofy and Riku. "Me and Kailee need to talk about something."

Kailee openly blushed. She had a faint idea of what he could be talking about. Yet, she didn't want to talk about that almost kiss right now, especially since they were stuck in an existential crisis that could possibly end their lives. "No. I don't think Donald needs that many people to conjure that spell. Do you Donald?"

"W-well actually, I do need the magical energy of two others," Donald rubbed the back of his head.

"Great! So why don't you take Riku and Goofy?" Sora asked again. Donald nodded and went outside with Riku and Goofy. Kailee groaned. She wished she 'd been the one to help out Donald instead of having to talk with Sora.

"How's your cut?" Sora said, surprising Kailee.

"Still burning. Yours?" Kailee gestured to the angry red glow coming from her upper arm, barely visible under her black dress.

"Getting worse, I think," Sora unbuttoned his shirt, causing Kailee's eyes to roam over his toned chest, revealing a scorching scarlet scar, festering with black spots and pulsing along with his heart.

"That's horrible!" Kailee's eyes grew with worry. "We have to make that blood bond right away!"

"Relax Kailee. It's only a scratch. It only hurts when I breathe," said Sora, wincing a bit as he buttoned up his shirt.

"Come on, Sora. Right now is not the time to joke about this. It's serious and I'm worried about you," Kailee reached out to take Sora's hand. "I'm not going to let you die."

"Don't worry. I hope to hang in there like King Mickey. I wonder how he's doing," Sora sighed.

"Yeah. But, then again, Yen Sid is taking care of him. Plus, I'm making sure that we bring him back a strong, well Shadow Crosser that will make the blood bond with him, too," Kailee recalled the time when Mickey had contacted her back in the Kingdom of Corona in the woods. Also, of how the wound on his cheek had gotten worse by sprouting black veins.

"So, about what happened back in the Kingdom of Corona…" Sora began.

Kailee withdrew her hand from his. "I can't talk about this right now, Sora. It's too much of a delicate topic. Besides, we've only known each other for a few days. We can't be getting these sort of feelings, yet."

"I know. But I feel as though we are already connected by our hearts," Sora shyly scratched the back of his head, closed his eyes, and brought up a goofy smile. "And, to tell you the truth, I've never experienced feelings like this before. Not even with Kairi."

"But, Sora…" Kailee trailed off as Riku, Donald, and Goofy came barging in, pockets full of money.

"We did it!" Goofy exclaimed.

"Didn't take so long," Riku mentioned. "All it took was some magic and a few bits of our hair."

"Awesome!" Kailee said, her expression turning from enthusiastic to worrisome. "How's your scar, Riku?"

"I don't know if it's going to be able to last three more days, but I'm hanging in there," Riku gestured to his leg, where it gave off the same red glow as Sora's and Kailee's.

"I'm at least glad that Donald and Goofy came out unharmed," Sora put in. "We're going to need them if we ever get too week by the time we get to Mardi Gras."

"But first, let's get something to eat. I'm starving," Kailee said, frowning and holding her stomach. Everybody else agreed, since they hadn't eaten since Kailee had given them all a small handful of strawberries right before fighting the Warnless and save the Kingdom of Corona.

They each requested from Tiana, politely of course, five steaming plates of Gumbo, a specialty mentioned by Tiana. It consisted of meat, cows by the looks of it, a sort of thickening spice, celery, bell peppers, onions and a dash of hot sauce. Apparently, Tiana had been making this for years now, ever since she was a little girl. The group's mouths exploded with the different and juicy flavors of the rich gumbo. Sora and Riku had at least three helpings of the stew before plopping down on their chairs satisfied.

"So, how are we doing over here?" Tiana said as she picked up the emptied bowls of gumbo. She received incoherent mumblings from them all since they were too full to even talk.

"See? I knew you guys would like it!" Tiana said. "Anybody up for dessert?"

Sora raised his index finger. "To go please."

Tiana raced back into the kitchen to drop off the plates and began to make her famous dessert course, Beignets. They were small squares of deep-fried dough, which she sprinkled with sugar frosting and lathered with honey. She wrote down what the group owed and carefully placed the beignets inside of a brown paper bag.

"Alright, here are your beignets and the check," Tiana placed the bag on their table. "My shift will be done in a few minutes, and I have to get to a party. So, I'll probably see you guys tomorrow."

Tiana began to unravel her apron from around her waist and threw it back behind in the kitchen. "See you later Buford!"

"Have fun at the La Bouffs, Tiana! Don't get too caught up with them rich people!" Buford waved his spatula in the air at Tiana. She quickly hurried out of the café and ran down the street to catch the trolley to her house so she could change.

"Now what?" Riku asked.

"It looks like we have to go to a party," Kailee said. " You guys in?"

So, if you're asking, Tiana is still going to turn into a frog only that the gang will follow up with them. And about Eliza and Terra's bodies, they're kind of caught up in the affairs of Xehanort. Yes, I am taking plots of Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance into my story. So if you guys get confused, I'll just explain in these author notes, I guess. I'm trying not to be so obsessed or sound desperate, but does anyone know what happened to Fahiru?
