Chapter 4 Unknown
Kingdom Hearts belongs to Square Enix and D.M.C belongs to... i can't remember but I don't own it and can use it under fair use act since I get no money from this.
I looked at my husband standing next to Vergil, she shook. "Why... what..." I was so confused, so very confused "What are you doing here?" Terrance pushed up his glasses and looked at me "Just what do you mean by that? You should know why I am here." He glared and I found myself paralyzed by that glare, why was my husband looking at me with such venom in his eyes? "I don't understand, what do you..." Terrance interrupted me though "Don't play dumb!" I flinched back. The two brothers, Vergil and Dante, were so wrapped up in their own thing they did not notice us. Terrance spat at the ground "Hmph, you beast." I went pale, why was my husband saying such mean and hurtful things? I heard that voice in my head "Don't be fooled now girl! He has been tricked, you must try to help him. Figure out why he is saying these things, help him find out the truth!" I blinked in befuddlement. He was being tricked? By who, how, when?
I looked at him as his glare harshened "Come on now Erica, you seriously expect me to believe you don't know why? Don't make me laugh." I stepped back, he followed in step moving forward "You think I will let you get away with what you have done!?" He yelled. My eyes widened in shock "I did nothing...gah!" A punch to the stomach, hard, precise, merciless. I would expect nothing less from a punch that was delivered by him considering his combat training back home. I buckled over holding my stomach where the punch had connected, going into a coughing fit. He had knocked the air out of me. I couldn't see straight, my eyes were watering. Though I could make out his shadow over me as I looked at him through tear filled eyes, I couldn't bring myself to fight back. He was my husband, I couldn't hurt the man I loved. I felt the kicks and punches land, it wasn't long before I fell into an unconscious slumber, I had been knocked out.
When I next opened my eyes i saw I had been placed elsewhere, a place i did not recognize "Ah so you finally decided to wake up!" I looked over to see Dante, so I was still in this world, which meant there was still something I needed to fix, and there is also my husband to deal with, why had he been acting like that? "You seemed to know that guy with the violent streak in him." I blinked "Oh uh well... ummm." He raised a hand "Eh, don't ask don't tell, I don't need to know." Standing up."You still wanna play a part in this party girl?" I nodded standing up "This is personal now. I don't have a choice." He nodded "Then lets get going, it's rude to show up to the party late." taking his sword out and moving forward, i followed at the contraption on my hand "Uhhh you never told me what this orb shooter thing was." He turned around "It's a weapon, made from the demon you killed." Turning and continuing on. So I had a little demon thing on my arm... I blinked and shrugged it off, I was starting to get used to the weird shit happening around me, for now anyway.
We arrived at an area that looked like a chess board with life size chess pieces, the board was almost half the size of a football field. This trip was testing my sanity, I kept telling myself back then that it was just a game, it was the only thing holding me together, it was like a chant in my mind, never ending 'It's just a game, it's just a game, it's just a game, it's just a game, it's just a game, it's just a game, it's just a game, it's just a game, it's just a game.' Oh how wrong I was, and even back then i knew it, but i was in denial. I had to be or I would have broken under the weight of the change occurring, the weight of what had been thrust upon me.
I started walking over to one of the chess pieces to examine it but stopped midway, this was devil may cry, i remembered playing this game, more precisely, the third installment. Those chess pieces would come to life, I paled. "I don't like those chess pieces." I saw Dante grin "Looks like it's fun time!" Seeing one of the pieces move, I prayed i wouldn't die in this fight, getting ready to defend myself. This fight was cruel, I kept getting singed by lasers and fire, and temporarily frozen by ice, slammed around, I ached all over when it was done and looked up only to see Dante frowning at me. "Sorry..." I was hurt again, I didn't like feeling so useless. "Jeeze Erica you did better against that vampire lady, you can do better then that." Putting his sword away and moving forward. I struggled to my feet and followed. There wasn't another fight for a while except the lone arch angel here and there so I had time to rest while walking.
I noticed though "We are near the core now, where Vergil went..." Dante nodded "Perhaps that other man is there too." I sighed "His name is Terrance. He just shrugged "Whatever, get ready though, i have a feeling things are going to get wild once we get there." I nodded and looked at my wounds, nothing too serious but could hinder my movement a little' I scowled at myself as I sighed "I'm ready." Dante jumped from one floating platform to another, getting closer to the core, i followed in suit, just barely able to leap from one platform to another, this walkway was not made for humans that much was for sure.
When we made it to the core I saw Terrance standing next to Vergil, everything was happening as it should but i could see Terrance wanted to interfere, that was the threat, I had to stop him, I didn't want to hurt him though. It was a catch 22. I had no choice if I wanted to return home with him, before he could interfere I jumped onto his back and he screamed "Get off of me!" swinging his arms, trying to throw me off. I held on tight though, refusing to let go as Dante and Vergil had their fight. Finally Vergil let himself fall into hell and i let Terrance go getting thrown into a wall, I thought I would feel hard stone, instead I felt a chilling cold. It seemed I had done my job, as the dark hands wrapped around me like shadows, another shadowy corridor. The last thing I saw was Dante, grieving over his brother, then running for his life.
The corridor of light again, the ones and zeros, like something ripped right out of a computer.I looked around, there should be an image of where I need to fall to, and i saw it, a keyblade. So it was kingdom hearts this time, but which one? There were so many, there was the original, Kingdom hearts 2, kingdom hearts birth by sleep, chain of memories, and so many others. It seemed fate decided to be cruel to me this time. I latched onto a platform with a keyblade on it, and the keyblade shifted into a nobody symbol, I paled "What's going to happen to me..." As i was sucked like last time, and knocked out yet again. I was getting used to randomly fainting or getting knocked out now.
I could hear whispers in my ears, "Get up, danger, run, hide, you must flee, WAKE UP!" I jolted awake to hear that voice "Oh good awake, no time to lollygag about, you have to run, it's coming." The voice actually sounded worried instead of it's original mischievousness, so I did not question and stood looking around. I saw a ruined walkway, made of crumbling stone. I saw why the voice was worried, heartless, headed right for me, i had to run, hide. I was in hallow it looked to be before kingdom hearts two, and after number one. The final fantasy characters could be seen repairing damages, working toward making it look as well repaired it had been in number two. This was a huge problem for me, if this was in between the two games, non playable content, something not in the game, how was i supposed to know what to fix!? I ran, ran toward the final fantasy characters, it looked like Squall and Yuffie but I couldn't be sure from this distance. Not like it mattered, i needed help and now if I didn't want my heart taken by these dark beings. "HELP!" I screamed in a last ditch effort to get them to notice me. The heartless were gaining, this was my last chance.
