Chapter 19: Extra Protection
Everyone was taking their time to relax in the Gummi as it made a rather slow course toward Land Of The Dragons. Cloud was sleeping in his chair, while Sophie, Riku and Sora were having a talk.
She brought out a large case from under her own chair, and proceeded to open it. She swivelled it around, to show Sora and Riku the guns that Frank had given her.
"What the hell do WE need guns for…" Riku said, questioningly.
"For a just in case scenario. They'll help. Until you get a keyblade that has silver on it, you'll need these. You know that even if you had incapacitated those two that we just fought, to kill them we need silver or for Sora to drink all their blood?" Sophie said.
"Yeah, yeah, we know, Frank told us…" Riku replied in an annoyed tone.
"Then hush and listen." Sophie pulled two golden pistols by the ends, and handed them to Sora. He took them in hand, and looked at them suspiciously.
"Take your gloves off, both of you." Sophie instructed the both of them. They proceeded as instructed, Sora taking extra care not to make contact with the silver.
She then pulled out another gun, this one thicker and made of silver. She handed it to Riku.
"Both guns can fire most bullet types, the most important ones obviously being silver bullets. However, those kind of bullets are very expensive to make, so I'll be supplying you with some of both."
"How are normal bullets gonna help us?" Sora asked.
"Normal bullets won't kill them, but they'll hurt them. Just cause only silver bullets can kill them doesn't mean other things won't hurt them."
"I guess. But I bet I'll rarely use this anyway." Riku said, examining the gun.
Sora holstered hid guns in the pockets he had gotten from Frank on Destiny Islands, and strapped them around his waist.
"Can I have a look at yours, Riku?" Sora asked, but just as he was about to lay a hand on Riku's gun, Sophie grabbed his wrist and yanked him back.
"Hey, what gives?" Sora complained.
Surprisingly, Riku admonished Sora. "It's made of silver, you doofus! Don't touch it with your bare hands!" Riku shouted. Sora felt stupid for not thinking.
"Sorry, wasn't thinking." Sora replied, smiling stupidly.
"That excuse is running old, Sora, soon I'm just gonna get madder when you say that." Riku responded.
"Look, enough, when we touch down, you're gonna want to check your aim with those things. They're pretty powerful, and if you're not used to them, then you'll never hit anything with them. Especially you, Riku, as your one packs a slight bit more of a kickback." Sophie told them.
"Wait a minute. I just figured something out." Sora said.
"What is it?" Riku said, sounding worried.
"If you, me and Sophie are here, and Cloud is asleep, who's flying the Gummi Ship?"
A loud slap sounded throughout the ship. Cloud stirred, but didn't wake up.
"It's on autopilot, you imbecile!" Riku said, getting irritated at Sora's stupidity.
"Engaging warp drive, please be careful and fasten seatbelts"
"I can't believe I'm flying 10,000 miles or whatever for this sh-" Sophie was cut off by the warp engine activating, letting out a roar as it sped up toward their destination…
Land Of The Dragons.
