ZJohnson: Hi!
MoC: Yay! Z is here!
ZJohnson: Giant chocolate chip cookies for everybody! *passes them out*
Vanitas: Master of Chaos owns nothing.
Aqua: Enjoy.
It's been a week since Matthew defeated Vanitas and became the guardian of the town. He, Sora, and Xion were relaxing in the Strife's backyard when a yellow chocobo burst through the fence.
"Choco!? What are you doing here?!" Matthew asks as he makes his way over to the frightened chocobo. The chocobo screeches and bucks around until Matthew gently grabs the sides of its head and whispers softly. "What happened Choco? Where's dad?" Choco chirps and shrieks and Matthew pales.
"What is it Matthew?" Xion asks.
"D-dad is lost past the wall. I'm gonna go with Choco to find him." Matthew says as he gets on top of the beast.
"I'm going with." Sora says as he gets behind Matthew.
"Me too." Xion says as she gets behind Sora.
"All right then, let's go." Matthew says as the chocobo takes off.
After a few minutes they got to the hole in the wall and slipped through. After a few hours of searching the dense forest they came across a familiar sight.
"Look! It's dad's fusion sword!" Matthew yells as he gets off and runs to pick up the blade.
"Matthew, wait!" Xion yells when suddenly Matthew is surrounded by a pack of wolves. Matthew picks up the heavy blade and starts swinging it around to ward off the hungry animals. The animals back up hesitantly until the alpha male bites and starts tearing at Matthew's ankle. Matthew screams in pain as the wolves pile on top of him. Xion screams and launches a blast of fire at them. The wolves run away and Sora makes his way over to Matthew and sees that the only major damage was to the ankle. Sora uses curaga to heal the worst of the damage and he hands the blade to Xion. Sora drapes Matthew's body over the chocobo's back and starts leading them through the forest. After what feels like a week's worth of walking they finally saw some sunlight. They emerged into the courtyard of an old mansion, crumbling pillars covered in ivy and moss lined the pathway. The mansion itself is large and imposing, Sora and Xion marvel in its beauty as they make their way to the doors.
"Do you think anyone's here?" Sora asks.
Xion knocks and the door opens. "I guess not." She says as they walk in.
What they don't realize is that hidden in the top floor of the mansion are three figures that have seen them.
"What do you think Kairi?" The first figure asks.
"Well Roxas, I think that boy with the spiky chocolate colored hair is kinda cute." Kairi replies.
"I see. What about you Tenshi?" Roxas asks.
"Well, I'm just worried about that boy on the chocobo. He looks hurt." Tenshi replies.
"Do either of you get the feeling that they're the ones we've been looking for?" Roxas asks as he looks at a red rose.
"I hope so Roxas." Kairi says as she looks at a pink rose.
"I hope so too." Tenshi says as she looks at a white rose.
They turn and look in the mirror. Three figures look back at them. A golden, powerful, almost bear-like beast, a crimson, agile, almost cat-like beast, and a dark brown, swift and sleek, cat-like beast all stare at them.
"Do you really think they will all like us?" Tenshi asks as she looks at her older siblings.
"I'm sure they will." Kairi says with a smile.
Sora and Xion look around the inside of the mansion and find a dining room with a small fireplace, a table with a meal spread out on it, and a couch. Sora lays Matthew down on the couch and Xion grabs a pitcher of ice water. Sora starts cleaning the wound and Xion goes outside to get sticks to make a splint. Once she returns she bandages Matthew's ankle and ties the splint to his leg. Xion picks up a teapot to make some tea for Matthew when the teapot starts laughing.
"Oh my, could you please set me down?" A voice says.
Xion yelps and sets the teapot down; upon closer inspection Xion could see a face in the teapot. "Who are you?" Xion asks.
"My name is Naminé." The teapot says.
"And I'm Yuffie!" A teacup next to Naminé says.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Xion says. "I was going to make some tea for my friend to help him….."
"Oh, we'll help." Naminé says as she pours some tea into a non-animated cup. Xion thanks her and gives Matthew the drink.
As soon as Matthew wakes up he looks around. "Did we find dad yet?" He asks Xion.
"No, not yet I'm afraid…" Xion says.
"Excuse me, but who is your father?" Naminé asks.
Matthew smiles a little. "He's Cloud Strife, an old war hero. He's one of the nicest people you can know…"
Naminé just stares. "You said Cloud Strife?"
"Yes. Have you seen him?!" Matthew asks excitedly.
"Well um, he's kind of a, prisoner here." Naminé says as she looks down.
Everyone tears up. "W-what?" Matthew trembles.
"I'm sorry, I can't say more. The master and the ladies wouldn't like it…." Naminé says as she looks away. Suddenly the doors to the dining room swing open and the three of them flinch and Matthew cowers. Naminé and Yuffie hide as quickly as possible. Matthew looks at all three of the imposing figures fearfully. His gaze soon locks with the young dark furred beast that is looking at him shyly. Matthew suddenly feels a little calmer and braver as he stands up. "Are you three in charge here?"
"Yes." The golden furred beast says and Matthew stares him down.
"Let my father go." Matthew says plainly while he avoids his injured ankle.
"Are you willing to stay here in exchange kid?" Roxas asks.
Matthew looks down and Roxas sneers. Of course he wouldn't, no fool would sacrifice themselves to save their father.
"I-I'll do it." Matthew says as everyone gasps. He steps forward and lands on his ruined foot. He screams in pain and falls. Tenshi grabs him and holds him close.
"I'll stay too." Xion says as she locks eyes with Roxas defiantly.
"Same here, but can we at least say goodbye to him?" Sora asks as he looks at Kairi.
"Of course you can." Kairi says as she and Tenshi lead them to Cloud.
"Dad!" Sora shouts as he runs over to his father's side.
"Sora, what's going on?" Cloud asks.
"Matthew became town guardian and we went out to find you when Choco came through our fence." Sora says.
All three of the kids hug Cloud and explain what happened. Cloud cries as he hugs them.
"Choco's waiting outside dad with your fusion sword dad." Matthew says with a smile.
"Thank you. I'll be glad knowing that you're safe. Please write to us every day." Cloud says as he makes his way outside.
"We will dad!" Sora and Matthew shout.
"I'll make sure they do." Xion says as the doors to the mansion close and Cloud rides off sadly.
