-Chapter 3-
Everyone looked at her in surprise.
"How did you know?" Cece asked.
"I can read minds. It kind of comes with the Curse." Alex replied.
"Whoa…" Zak looked at her in surprise. Alex looked over at him.
"What the heck were you trying to do to me earlier? Kiss me?" Alex asked.
Zak groaned, "No, I thought you had water in your lungs and I was going to give you CPR. You have a strong punch for a girl." Zak rubbed his cheek.
Alex grinned, "Sorry, it's my reflexes." Out of nowhere, a gunshot was fired from a far.
"Get down!" Cece yelled. Everyone dove to the deck, and Zak grabbed Alex, pulling her to the ground.
"Ugh, dude, get off of me! I can take care of myself!" She pushed Zak off of her and stood up.
"She's crazy! I like her!" Clovis said excitedly. Zak pulled Calabrass off his back and ran up to the steering wheel.
"It's Golden Bones, everyone to your battle stations!" Everyone bolted up and started moving about the ship. Caramba went below deck while Clovis went up to the top of the sail. Crogar pulled out his rocket sword and stood guard at the edge at the edge of the boat.
"Who's Golden Bones?" Alex asked.
"Long story. Basically the Big Bad Guy's assistant." Zak said.
Alex didn't seem surprised. "Nice." She pulled her bat off her back.
"Why not use your Keyblade to fight?" Zak asked.
"Are the bad guys Heartless?" Alex retorted.
"Um...No? What are Heartless?" Zak asked.
Alex rolled her eyes. "Now is not the time for explaining. If the bad guys aren't Heartless, then my Keyblade won't do anything. My bat can do some damage though."
Zak frowned. The Demoniac drew closer. "Chaos, full speed!" The Chaos's engines powered up and started to turn around in the opposite direction.
"Everyone hold on!" Zak yelled. The Chaos poured on speed and went the opposite direction of the Demoniac, but headed straight into another Demoniac?
Cece's eyes widened. "Zak, that's an illusion, this is a trap!" Zak tried turning the Chaos around to avoid the Demoniac.
"Zak, we can't escape, dummy!" Alex yelled. Zak froze and turned towards Alex.
"It's a classic bad guy move, okay? They're going to board the ship. We have to prepare for battle!" Alex said. Zak watched her in amazement. She's only been on the Chaos for twenty minutes and already giving orders. The Demoniac drew to a stop and the front opened to reveal Golden Bones and his army of skeletons. Golden Bones jumped aboard the Chaos, with a gleeful look in his eyes.
"This was easier than I thought. I can finally get Calabrass from you worthless brats!" Golden Bones chuckled.
"You'd have to come and get him first!" Zak taunted. Golden Bones started head in his direction, but stopped and turned to Alex.
"And who are you?" He asked.
Alex gave him a dirty look. "I'm the girl who's going to kick your butt."
Golden Bones sighed. "Get the rest. The boy is mine." The skeleton soldiers started heading for Alex and the rest.
"Ooh, I don't think so." She swung her bat towards one of the skeleton heads and knocked it off. Backing up slowly she raised her fist into the air, magic surrounding it, then slammed it into the deck. The force knocked the skeletons all the way into the water. Golden Bones turned around, looking surprised.
"Girl, how did you do that?" Golden Bones demanded.
"Magically." Alex said sarcastically.
"Girl, do you have the Curse?"
Alex rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "Gee, I don't know, a magical force just somehow came from my hand- Yes, you dummy! Quit asking questions that you already have the answer too!" Everyone was silent.
"Out of all my years, no one has ever dared to disrespect me like that-"
"Dude, you are a freaking skeleton, no one's going to take you seriously." Alex interrupted. Golden Bones started to look angry.
"Girl, you're starting to get on my nerves. I'll take you myself!" Alex didn't look amused.
"That's what they all say." Alex said. Zak frowned.
"Alright Calabrass, give me the Eye of Blaaz!" Nothing happened again.
"Calabrass, please stop acting like this! If she's taken, we'll be in danger!" Calabrass didn't respond.
"Calabrass! If we can find a way to send her home, you'll be the most wanted sword in the Seven Seas!" Zak said.
Calabrass was frowning. "I refuse to save someone with the Curse of Asteroid. I'm taking a nap now." With that, Calabrass shut down. Zak's jaw dropped. Calabrass has never denied helping anyone. With or without powers/ magic.
Clang!
Zak looked over to see Golden Bones and Alex attacking each other. Golden Bones blocked a strike from Alex's… sword? Where did she get a sword from?
"Crogar, we need to help her!" Cece yelled. She was starting to run down the stairs when Alex interrupted.
"No! Don't interfere, this fight is mine!" Alex yelled. Cece froze mid step. Alex's sword shape shifted into her bat, and she swung really hard at his legs. His legs gave out from under and he fell to the ground.
"So, you were going to take me, huh?" Alex smirked, resting her bat on her shoulder. Golden Bones groaned.
"I'll be back, and next time, I'll have you captured." Golden Bones limped off the Chaos and onto the Demoniac. The Demoniac sped away from them. Caramba came from below looking confused.
"What in the Whahoolian's name is going on? I barely heard any fighting!"
"Alex took care of it, she really kicks butt!" Clovis said. Zak rolled his eyes.
"Yeah, you did. But the weird thing is, Calabrass refused to help you. He said 'I refuse to save someone with the Curse of Asteroid.' Why is he acting this? Any ideas, Alex?" Alex pondered.
"I think I know. Before the magic was given to me, the person before with the Curse did many evil deeds, including turning Calabrass into a sword." Alex explained. Calabrass opened his eyes.
"The lassy is correct. Her name was Agua. She went through many dimensions to gain more powers. She was a greedy person. One day, she landed herself in the Triangle, looking for the Seven Eyes. At the time, I was the guarding the Eyes. She found me and tried to persuade me in giving the Eyes. I told her no and she cursed me into a sword. As a guardian of the Eyes, you were the only one who could invoke the powers. When Agua cursed me into a sword, she tried to invoke the powers. As ye know in the prophecies, one a real cap'n can invoke the powers. Now that is you Zak, which means, you are the Guardian of the Seven Eyes."
"Wait, wait, wait, how come you didn't tell me this before?" Zak asked.
"I, uh, didn't want ya to worry 'bout it…" Calabrass muttered. Zak rolled his eyes and sighed.
"So what do we do now?" Alex asked.
"Well, we should head to Marituga. There's someone there that may be able to help you." Cece said.
Alex nodded. "Cool."
A/N
Yay, chapter 3 is out. I would've posted sooner, but I was sick with strep throat last week, and this week has been crazy because of the weather. I think Alex is my favorite character because of her attitude. Reviews are welcome! Also if you have any ideas to add, those are welcome! This chapter is 1260 words!
