"I'll find more allies Roxas, you can count on me," I smiled as I slowly brushed her cheek drawing Olette into a tender kiss. She wrapped her arms around my neck as I pulled her closer to me and kissed her harder my lips locked with hers.
I pulled away eventually and watched as she walked through the portal of darkness looking for new worlds and more allies.

I emerged from the darkness watching as it faded away slowly concealing it's passage until my return. I appeared to be in a rabbit hole of sorts so I pressed on opening the door and finding most everything smaller then me.
Hearing someone snoring I tilted my head into the direction of the peculiar sound. As I listened carefully, I heard "Drink the drink and be big or small" an interesting bit of information .
So I looked around for something to drink and finding a bottle labeled "Drink" I drank it without a second thought. Feeling all tingly inside I noticed that I began to shrink until I was a few inches tall in comparison to the large room.
Seeing a rectangle shaped gap appearing to be a doorway I decided it was the best chance I had of finding people. So far Ihadn't found anyone, no Heartless either which bothered me. Walking through the funny doorway I emerged into a grassy little area with tall hedges and yet another rectangle shaped doorway which I took.
This next area was different, with a pond and plenty of flowers about it didn't look to weird. Just some Lilly Pads and a couple of mushrooms that made great stepping stones. Exploring further in I found a gate, no rectangular shaped doorways, just a gate. Naturally I walked through pushing the gate forward to get through and found a house with a Tea Party with tables and chairs.
I wasn't sure exactly sure what I was looking for, but I had to find someone or something to assist us. Roxas needed allies and I wouldn't let him down, I couldn't fail, they were all counting on me.
"What is with this place and the weird mushrooms..." I was wandering around the strange Tea Party Garden examining all the chairs to see what they would do. After sitting in each one I was flung backwards as the table disappeared for no apparent reason. Each chair released some sort of prizes, including A Potion, Hi-Potion and an Ether. I pocketed the items and was about to leave when I could have sworn I heard something from behind me.
"Well what do we have here?" A strange purple cat with darker colored stripes materialized from. nothing. He floated through the air as if the cats body was made of air.
"Who are you?" I stayed cautious as I wasn't exactly an adept fighter, who knows what weird dangers this cat had. I had no way of defending myself, besides the Nobodies that I had control over.
"That depends on what you think I am?" He spoke in a confusing manner that only caused my brain to hurt. Did he always speak like a puzzle or was he aiming to take me down? Whatever the cat's motives were, they were annoying and confusing at best .
"What do you want from me?" Maybe if I asked him a different question I'd get better results. It was a small chance, but it was better then just sitting here trying to figure out the cat's last riddle.
"Oh I do not want anything from you, but since you've come all this way I'll give you something." The purplish pink cat floated over towards the chair I had forgotten to sit in. For whatever reason he made a point to circle the pink colored chair as if to say "Sit here" which didn't need any additional explanation.
Reluctantly I walked over toward the chair and sat down slowly expecting something to jump out at me. Fortunately no Heartless appeared to spoil the moment and instead, the table disappeared as all the chairs were flung backwards like before.
However, instead, this time I found someone who was trapped under the table and he appeared to be damaged as well. He had purple and gold highlights that added some sort of flair to his robotic armor. A helmet with a T-shaped visor and an insignia of a V on his helmet with a singular glowing eye behind his visor. Attached to his shoulder was a cannon with ammo belts that wrapped behind his back.
"Damn Heartless...how could such puny creatures do this to me..." I was about to ask him his name, but his body was badly damaged and I suppose his body gave out on him. He wasn't dead, just unconscious, I wasn't sure how robots bodies worked sincerely I had never actually seen one before.
"Aw, poor thing," snapping my fingers as the Samurai Nobody appeared to my call. "I want you to carry him as we make our way back to the Castle." A half dozen carried the strange robot while the other half surrounded us in a defensive form.
Fortunately for us, there was no Heartless attacks and so we made it back to the rabbit hole without a problem. However, right before we had reached the Dark Corridor a dark fireball homed in on the robot. One of the Samurai Nobody's blocked the attack easily as I tried to see who are mystery adversary was.
"Attack formation!" The Six surrounding Samurai leaped while kicking off the ground increasing their momentum. Swords at the read, all six Nobodies mercilessly sliced the creature with their katana. Whatever it was it was gone as I caught a glimpse of it's heart fading away.
"Let's get out of here before anymore of those creatures show up," I opened the Dark Corridor and the Samurai Nobodies followed me through the darkness carrying the the damaged the robot with then. The darkness wasn't so bad, the black coats Roxas gave all of us really helped. I remember him saying something about how the heartless were at their strongest in the Dark Corridors, but with these coats it shouldn't be a problem at all.
"What do we have here, Olette?" The moment I emerged from the darkness I found Vexen waiting for me. Probably heard I was on a search and didn't seem too surprised to find a tag along.
"I found him in Wonderland under the Tea Party Table, he looked liked he had a nasty encounter with the Heartless." I snapped my fingers again and the Samurai set the robotic creature on the Chilly Academic's examination table.
After much examination, Vexen finally came to a conclusion of what exactly was wrong with this male robot. "He not only appears to have heavy external damage, but a misalignment in one of his chips."
"How serious is that?" I wasn't exactly sure what he meant by that, but if I associated this robots chips with a person's organs. Then I could understand how major of a problem that we had on our hands.
"Well if it wasn't a major chip, then it wouldn't be so bad. But because it's a chip that is linked with his personality, it has taken a whole new level of bad." Just as I suspected, this wasn't good, not good at all.
"Can you fix the personality disorder?" Surely it could be reversed.
"Yes, I think I can," Vexen started prying open the robots chest plate so he could find the chip and solve the problem. "This is a problem...his chips are fine...his personality disorder appears to be a short circuit in his brain and only mimicked a chip misalignment."
"His brain?" I watched in horror as Vexen got the creepiest surgical tool possible and began removing the creatures cranium. After a few minutes of poking, wiring, zapping and Kingdom Heart's knows what he finished. Replacing his cranium and chest plate the robot should be back to his original state.
"I found that his name is Vile and apparently he developed a sociopath personality disorder leading to a need to destroying the Maverick." I didn't understand who or what the Maverick were, but I was glad Vile was repaired good as new.
"Aggghhhh my head...what the hell happened?" Struggling to move, Vile did his best to keep his balance while I helped him walk.
"This young lady brought you here and practically saved your life," I blushes and said it was nothing much.
"I don't play well with others...but no one ever risked their neck for me before and I never expected anyone too." His arrogant tone was noted, but I could sense some softness as well. There was hope for Vile yet, even if I was the only one he talked to without being arrogant and rude.
"Well that's because they aren't like me, I care about everyone no matter what they did or who they are." The mechanoid thought time himself for a moment before making his decision.
"I'll be your protector, since you have shown me such kindness this is my way of thanks. I don't respect anyone, much less offer them a damn thing, but you two did something no one else did." I knew deep down Vile had a soft spot, under that metallic, hard, cold, dark armor was a small amount of kindness.
I'm not much of a fighter, just the Samurai and that's about it," Vexen chuckled as my cheeks flushed red with embarrassment.
"All the more reason to be your protector, my new purpose will to assist you until I die, I swear it." Thus another Ally and another step closer to unraveling the enigmatic events in the coming future.

"For what reasons do you require the goddesses Guardian?" I wasn't sure why this mysterious stranger wanted my help, but Etro had called me here for a reason. Maybe it was time to help people from other worlds..."
"My friend's memories are scattered and I need someone, anyone who is willing to help me." He reminded me of the past, before everything had happened the way it did.
"You mean this?" Opening the palm of my hand a small crystal floated towards the hooded stranger. The moment it touched his hands the crystal flashed revealing a memory of two boys racing, trying to impress a girl.
"How?" Clearly shocked by how I had come across this memory, I was surprised myself.
"Etro led me to it, I think she wants me to help you find the memories of your friend." There was no other reason why I shouldn't help him, I would do the sane for Serah if anything like that happened to her.
"I can use all the help I can get, I'm Riku by the way," stretching out his hand RP shake mine while introducing himself.
"Lightning, Lightning Farron," I shook his hand and followed him through the darkness that would start me on another journey unlike none before.

Karmen Rider Stinger: Thanks
eternal nothingness: True, but if he can gather enough allies, it shouldn't be a big issue. He might just make it.
eternal nothingness: Thank you for favoriting me and my story as well as following my story.
