Chapter 5
"Allison, let's check there." Ven said pointing to a world I recognized at once I nodded "Okay" we flew down with him to our first new world.
Luckily we landed on our feet considering this is our first time which I was thankful for, we landed at the top of a ledge near the entrance to the diamond mine where the dwarfs work at. Ven seemed very interested at his surroundings, my only thought were the Unversed that could be anywhere. "Hey Allison, look." He pointed below us and we looked to see seven little men walking in a single file line to the mine. "Wow!" Ven ran to watch the dwarfs walk into the mine.
"Wait up!" I called running after him heh he's like a kid that ate too much candy.
"Ven keep acting like that and Terra was right about calling you a child!" I said catching up to him.
"Hey, I thought you where on my side!" Ven said faking hurt I laughed as he grinned.
We jumped down to the mine entrance but we were greeted by some blue things namely the Unversed. "What the, what are these things?"
"They don't look friendly if you ask me." I said as we fought the Unversed.
"I wonder what those things where…" I said out loud "Who knows, but there might be more out there, we should be careful" Ven answered I nodded "Huh, you sound smart all of a sudden" I mused
"Hey!" I laughed.
"C'mon, lets go see if those little men have seen Terra." I nodded and followed him into the mine. I giggled seeing Dopey was having a hard time using the pickaxe. Doc turned and saw Ven and I standing there and gasped.
"What, who are you?"
"I'm Ventus but call me Ven and this is my friend Allison." Ven introduced us as I gave a Doc a shy smile and hid behind Ven a little.
"Diamond thieves, take cover, ya fools!" Grumpy yelled causing them to panic. The dwarfs began running around like crazy and poor Doppy, who didn't seem to know what was going on, ran into the wall I would have laughed if I didn't feel guilty. Maybe we could have explained more and not cause them to run, then again it is Grumpy's fault though.
"We're sorry; we didn't mean to frighten you."
"Yeah, it was an accident."
"You didn't?" Happy asked not certain if we really meant it.
"You mean, you're not here for our diamonds?" Sleepy asked with a small yawn.
"Of course not." I said looking a bit upset. "We're just looking for our friend Terra. He's about this tall and dresses kind of like Ven here, and has spiky brown hair."
"Sounds like a tall tale to me! Go on, git!" Grumpy snapped startling us. Someone really has anger issues the name 'Grumpy' fits.
"We don't know any Terra." Bashful said and Ven really looked upset.
"Please, could you come over here?" Ven asked. "We just want to talk." He added
"Don't fall for it! Stay where ya are!" Grumpy ordered the other dwarfs.
"Alright, then we'll do this the hard way." Ven said running after the dwarfs into the mine.
"You guys brought this on yourselves!" I called running after Ven. Going after them like that will only make them more afraid of Ven and me. Still, this was part of the plot so I just went with it, following Ven into the mine to look for the six dwarfs. Doppy just stood where he fell and didn't do much. I get inside the mines to see Ven standing there at the fork in the road.
"Which way do we go?"
"This way c'mon!" Ven said grabbing my wrist.
It didn't take long… okay it did take long to find the all dwarfs I think that Sneezy and Sleepy and Dopey where the easiest ones to find, Grumpy was, well he was resistant for a while.
"Come on." Ven said exasperatedly. "We're telling you, we're no thieves."
"Yeah we're not here to steal your diamonds, we're just trying to find our friend, Terra honest" I said.
"Ha, that's what they all say." Grumpy said I frowned "Well, we're on to the both of ya!"
I sighed forget this "Ven let's go it's obvious that they won't believe us" I said.
"Okay." Ven said looking a little disappointed as we walked to the mine exit. "Oh but," I looked to see Ven facing the dwarfs again, "can you tell us where I can find some other people around here?"
"Yeah, if it's not too much trouble." I said turning around to face the dwarfs myself.
"There's a castle beyond the chorus- I mean, the forest." Doc said.
"Got it, well; thanks." Ven said as I nodded.
"That went well" I commented
"Yeah, but they still could have believed that we weren't trying to steal their diamonds" Ven pouted.
"I'm pretty sure they were protective of those diamonds, I wonder what they use them for" Ven shrugged.
Soon we reached a small cottage near the creepy woods, hey it is creepy in the game. "This must be where those little men live."
"Seems like it." I said. Suddenly a shrill scream came from the distance I flinched startled.
"There!" Ven looked to the dark forest and I gulped. Don't get me wrong, I'm not scared of the dark or anything but if it's creepy and has a chance to kill you then that's a no for me. "Come on Allison, someone needs our help!"
"Right,." I nodded still looking a bit unsure
"Are you scared of the dark?"
"No The forest just creeps me out that's all" I muttered, my face turning pink. I'm such a scardy cat.
"Don't worry, I don't care what happens I'll be there" (A/N that line sound familiar?) I was thankful that Ven wasn't making fun of me I smiled.
"Thanks Ven, that means a lot to me ." Ven just smiled and we ran into the forest. It wasn't so bad being in the forest maybe because Ven's here with me there where some Unversed here and there but nothing we couldn't handle.
Soon we reached the edge of the forest, which didn't take very long either and saw Snow White, sitting on the ground, crying her eyes out.
"What's wrong?" Ven asked as I went to kneel in front of her while she wept in her hands.
"These horrible trees, they tried to grab me." She sobbed and I couldn't help but grin softly. When I was younger I use to be scared off all kinds of scary things so I know what it's like. Not only that, Snow White is also one of the princess of heart so she was very innocent and she's my favorite Disney princess. It's strange but just like the darkness I could feel the light in her heart it was warm and felt nice I stood in front of her and held out my hand.
"It's okay. You were just imagining things. That happens to the best of us when we're scared and afraid." I said she looked to Ven and me with a smile and took my hand as I helped her get up.
"Oh, thank you; I feel quite better now." Snow White said as I nodded. "I'm sure I'll get along some how."
"If that happens again, then think happy things like I do." She nodded giving me a warm smile.
"Thank you, I'm sure to try that some time." Snow White said but suddenly looked distressed. "But I do need a place to sleep at night. Would you know anywhere I might?"
"Well, we saw a house just up ahead." Ven offered and I nodded.
"I think that's a good place for you to stay in." I said as Snow White looked at me. "We can take you there if you'd like. My names Allison by the way."
"And I'm Ventus, Ven for short."
"Yes, thank you very much Allison, Ven. My name's Snow White." Snow White said, pleased to meet some new friends after being scared for her life.
"Great, let's get going!" Ven said walking off.
As we passed by a couple of tress, they suddenly came to life and some Unversed appeared.
"I'll take care of the Unversed. You stay here and protect Snow White."
"Right." I nodded as Ventus ran off to fight the Unversed. Of course, some of the Unversed managed to slip pass Ven and I stepped in, and made sure it didn't come near Snow White.
"Help me!" I turned and to see Snow White being attacked by a monster tree. That kinds creeps me out but still, I couldn't let Snow White get hurt.
"Get down!" Snow White ducked as I aimed a fire spell at it. It hit dead on easily burning it of "Are you okay?" I asked, helping Snow White up.
"Yes, thank you for saving me." Snow White said, smiling.
We soon arrived at the cottage and walked in. I really wonder why the dwarfs didn't lock their door. Maybe cause they might lose their keys it is possible.
"I'm sure you'll be safe here." Ven said turning to Snow White who looked really pleased at this.
"We'll take a look around to make sure the coast is clear so you can get comfortable." I said as Snow White nodded. Ven and I ran off to search around the cottage and in the near by forest.
"The coast is clear!" Ven called as we got into the cottage. "Not a monster in sight."
"Um, Ven." He looked to me and I pointed at the dwarfs that were surrounding Snow White. Recognizing us, Grumpy got in front of us looking as angry as ever. It was like back at the mines but this time they were defensive over Snow White rather than diamonds.
"Couldn't stay away, could'ja?" Grumpy barked as he and the other dwarfs glared at us, well minus Doppy. "An' who invited you in, ya rotten thieves?"
"We already told you, we're not thieves!" I hate it when people accuse me of something.
"Oh no, they're not thieves. They rescued me." Snow White interjected looking at them.
"You fussn't be mooled- uh, mustn't be fooled by them, princess." Doc said as I shook my head.
"Go on, git!" Grumpy yelled at us and we looked at each other. Not again.
"Please don't send them away." Snow White begged the dwarfs. "You see, they helped me when I was lost, and oh, so very frightened."
"Why'd you go in the woods anyway?" I asked. "I mean, it's obvious you can't you walking in the woods alone."
"Yes but something happened." Snow White said looking at us. "I was picking flowers by the wood, and there was a stranger there. He had a sword but it was like a key and then these monsters came and…" Well, the rest was easy to figure out by this point.
"A sword like a key?" Ven said to himself and we looked at each other and realization dawned on us. "Terra!"
"Ya mean this stranger saw ya and set his horde of evil demons after ya?" Doc asked, jumping to conclusions.
"No way Terra would ever do that!" I argued as Ven nodded.
"Yeah we've known him for a long time there's no way he'd do something like that." Ven added as the dwarfs and Snow White looked at us.
"Oh, of course. I'm sure he wouldn't." Snow White added kindly. "Not if he's someone who's your friend."
"Princess! You trustn't be so musting- er trusting." Doc said and he was really starting to get on my nerves.
"They're a-lyin'! Mark my words." Grumpy added and I sighed this is starting to be annoying.
"Look I know you guys don't trust us and that's okay but trust Snow White would she lie to you?" I asked they all looked thoughtful. "You'll see Terra's not the one who did it, C'mon Ven." Ven nodded and we walked out of the cottage not looking back.
We ran as fast as we could in the forest, and came to what looked to be a giant Unversed tree and it didn't look very friendly.
"Back off!" Ventus yelled at the Unversed as we summoned our keyblades. Hang on if it's a tree based Unversed…
"Ven, use fire attacks!" I yelled, dodging a poison pit and jumping off the ground just as the Unversed slammed into the exact same spot where I was before
"Why?"
"It's a tree and Fire burns trees!" I exclaimed he nodded and together we launched fire spells that quickly destroyed the Unversed.
"Nice one! Ven said as we high-fived I laughed.
"Yeah that was quick, we should get going now if we wanna find Terra" he nodded
"Right"
We both ran out and came to a flower field wow it's so pretty no wonder Snow White came here to pick flowers.
"Terra!" Ven called out, I looked around in hope of finding him but it was useless like I knew it was "Huh?" Something hit my foot gently with a small 'thunk' it was an apple I picked it up and looked it over I panicked when I recognized the apple.
"Hey Allison, what's in your hand?." I looked to see Ven looking at the apple in my hand.
"Uh, I found it on the ground" I answered hoping that he wasn't hungry,
"Maybe it belongs to her"
"Who?"
"That lady over there" I turned and saw an old lady wearing a black cloak carrying a basket full of apples. "Guess this must be hers." Ven said and pulled me along to the old witch before I could object. I followed looking at the apple in my hand just wanting to get rid of it. "Excuse me, ma'am? You dropped this." Ven said as the old hag turned to face us as I unwillingly held out the apple.
"Oh, why thank you, my pets." The evil queen cooed, taking the apple from me I mentally gagged. "To tell the truth, I really don't know what I would have done without that."
"Really but you have more apples in the basket don't you?" I asked, wishing to stab her now but she just chuckled evilly.
"Haven't I seen those swords before?" She asked, not even looking at our keyblades.
"Terra has one, you know Terra?" Ven asked.
"Oh, yes, yes." She said in hushed tones. "That ruffian pointed one of those at me, asking about some 'Xehanort'. My poor heart nearly stopped." She added dramatically and I growled silently that old hag!
"That doesn't sound like him at all." Ven said looking at his keyblade.
"Yeah, I think you've got the wrong person Ma'am." I said my hands on my hips. "Do you know where Terra went?"
"I'm sure I have no idea." The evil queen replied and I silently cursed at the fact she was telling the truth. "Must you all menace a poor granny so?" I actually faltered and quietly gasped.
"What? No, we were just…" The evil queen didn't seem to care much at this point because she walked away before Ven could even finish his sentence. "Terra, what did you do?"
"Ven, don't listen to what the old lady said we know better then anyone that Terra would never to that." I said shaking my head.
"Really?"
"Course I do, 'sides, we've known Terra really well seeing as we're all best friends so theirs no way he did that." Ven nodded.
"Thanks for making me feel better"
"Hey, that's what friends are for." I said placing my arms behind my head as we laughed. Making me forget what would happen to the three who became special to me. Ven smiled as we summoned our gliders and armor and flew off to the next world.
"Okay first things first" Sora said before walking "We've gotta meet up with a friend of ours named Leon at the Bailey, so you guys ready?" We nodded "Great let's get going" as we where walking Franklin whispered "Sora said to meet Leon at the Bailey so that means where in the beginning of the game right?"
"Yeah" I agreed then I grinned "So you ready to meet a Final Fantasy character?" I asked he grinned back and nodded his head soon we arrived and saw Leon at the Bailey, looking out over the balcony "Hey Leon this is Allison and Franklin they wield the keyblade just like me" Sora said Leon looked at us and seemed to study us before giving a curt nod then he began to explain.
"We wanted to restore Hollow Bastion to what it used to be… Who knows - maybe even something better. There's still a lot to do, but I'm sure we can handle everything - Except for that..." he pointed at the blue landscape below them. "...and that."
We shifted our gaze to a space closer to them. There were two Dusks walking through the Great Maw. "What are those things?" I said at the sight of the pair of Nobodies.
"Don't worry!" Sora said confidently. "We'll handle 'em!"
"That's good to hear." Leon turned his gaze to Sora. "Sora, do you know what's going on?" He asked, Sora nodded and turned to us as well "Since you guys are gonna travel with us you need to listen to this too" he then began to explain the situation.
"There's this guy named Pete, who's been going around plotting with the Heartless," Sora explained. "But... he's not smart enough to tie his own shoes. The ones we need tow worry about are the Nobodies."
"And those Organization XIII guyes in charge, too!" Goofy added.
"You called?" a deep voice rang out. We looked around trying to find the source of the voice but found nothing, we headed back to the main part Bailey where we drew our weapons.
"You're doing well..." another voice said.
I grimaced slightly Isa or should I say Saix as he is now known to be.
"This calls for a celebration..." the first voice said. A group of Dusks appeared in front of us. The gates began closing keeping anyone from leaving or entering. The Dusks immediately headed for the iron bars that blocked them, for some reason they where more interesting in attacking me then the others I looked to my right and saw Franklin helping Leon guard the gate, Donald and Goofy where working together against a group of Dusks and Sora was handling a group of Dusks on his own too, then I noticed a Dusk creeping behind him I dashed forward "Look out!" I warned pushing him out of the way just as the Dusk attacked.
It slashed my shoulder leaving a bloody gash there, I hissed in pain before I slashed at it making it disappear, I fell on one knee gasping placing a hand on my shoulder wincing when I felt something warm and sticky "Allison!" Sora exclaimed rushing towards me "Hold still" he instructed pulling a bottle filled with green liquid out of his pocket and poured it over my shoulder immediately the pain faded and the cut closed up I got up and saw my shoulder was completely healed 'He must have used a potion on me' I thought "You, okay?" Sora asked worriedly.
For a moment I saw Ven's image in Sora's place I shook my head and smiled "Yeah I'm fine, thanks" Sora smiled "C'mon we've still got some unfinished business to do" I nodded and followed him out to the gate where the others were waiting.
After we finished the rest if the Nobodies, we heard a voice outside. "The Keyblades… a truly marvelous weapon. Were it only in more capable hands…" Xemnas said, it was then followed multiple laughter. The six of us rushed outside to see where the voice was coming from and looked around. "Show yourselves!" Sora demanded.
A dark portal formed on top of the ledge above us and a man wearing a black coat appeared. The man raised his arms and five other cloaked people emerged from portals.
"Organization XIII!" Goofy exclaimed. He, Sora and Donald looked at each other with serious expressions
"Good! Now we can settle this!"
"What a shame..." Xemnas said. "And here I thought we could be friends." The other Nobodies laughed, and all six of them disappeared.
Donald jumped and shouted "Stop!" He ran towards the stone steps to try to catch up to them, we followed before a portal opened up in front of him blocking his way, "Xigbar/Braig!" Franklin and I quietly hissed.
Donald quacked in surprise. "What's the big idea?" Donald demanded, brandishing his staff.
"Oopsy-daisy!" Xigbar replied waving his arms.
"Move!" Sora commanded.
"Now do you think that's polite," Xigbar asked sarcastically. "shutting me down like that?"
"I said get outta the way!" Sora said getting angrier.
Xigbar crossed one of his arms across his chest "As if!" He scoffed. "You can talk all you want, but that won't change a thing."
"Then we're gonna MAKE you move!" Donald declared.
"See, that would work - if I were just any old dude." Xigbar said crossing his other arm. "'Cept I'm not. I'm with the Organization. Nothing 'any old' about me."
Sora scoffed. "Tough talk for someone who stood on the sidelines while his Nobody flunkies did the fighting!"
"Oh dear." the man said waggling a finger. "I think you got the wrong impression."
"You gonna cry?" Sora asked sarcastically I face-palmed as Franklin sighed "Oh, Sora…" he mumbled.
"As if! Why don't I remind you how tough the crowd your dealing with really is?" Sora straightened up a bit "Remind me?" I looked at him "Don't listen to him Sora he's only trying to confuse you!" Franklin warned Sora nodded and got back into position, glaring at Xigbar. He laughed "That's RIGHT, he use to give me the exact same look." Sora scoffed "I guess you think you can psych us out by saying really random stuff!"
"Gee..." Xigbar said placing his index finger and thumb to his chin "I just don't know..." He spread his arms out as if daring anyone to attack him, but when he saw me he laughed again, "Well look who we've got here it's popsicle boy's little keeper" he said gesturing to me "This'll make things so much easier" I gasped popsicle boy? Wait Ven! I got in an attack position "What do you mean?" I demanded.
Xigbar waved my question away "Kid, you should come with us it'll make things a lot easier for everyone" my eyes widened at this I raised OathKeeper in front if me in an attack position. "By "everyone" you mean your Organization right? Well sorry but that's never going to happen!" I said glaring at Xigbar he smirked (I think?) and glanced at Sora "Be a good boy now." He disappeared in a dark portal.
"Wait!" Donald demanded as he jumped after him, but ended up failing and landing flat on his beak I stifled a laugh "Nuts! He got away!" He grumbled.
"That was weird." Sora commented. "WHO gave him the same look?"
"And what did he mean by Allison being the keeper" Franklin added looking at me I shook my head feeling confused although I might need to tell him that I've been in the game before.
"Y'know, I think he was just tryin' to confuse you guys." Goofy said.
"Yeah, you're right." Sora agreed. "Only one me!"
"Not exactly" I muttered before Franklin gently elbowed me in the side.
Thankfully Sora didn't hear me he took out his card and read it out loud "The Hollow Bastion Restoration Committee Honorary Member -" before he could finish my keyblade jerked forward towards Sora then the card started glowing and started floating in the air as I got closer.
"What…?" The card showed an outline of a giant Keyhole in the sky "No way" I muttered looking towards the others who had shock written over their faces OathKeeper started to glow as the outline of the kingdom crown appeared beneath be the same with Sora and Franklin as if on instinct Franklin and I raised our keyblades in sync with Sora a small beam of light appeared and shot itself towards the Keyhole causing it to glow.
Then the light faded I turned to the others who still looked shocked "W-What just happened?" I asked even though I knew what was going to happen I didn't expect this!
Me: Wow why did OathKeeper react like that? Next time Allison finds the secret about herself and she meets a certain Chocobo head, can anyone recognize the words Ven used in the flashback?
