Chapter 51: Weapon Demonstration
Sergeant Abroc looked satisfied as he looked out of the huge view in the bridge. St DragonKnight was heading towards a world that was randomly targeted and was the most closest to them as the huge wasteland covered fleet elite ship headed out of the asteroid field. Sergeant Abroc chuckled to himself as he heard the metal door open and turned around to see Major Snake walk towards him. "What is it that the Colonel has you doing this time, Abroc?" Snake asked as he walked towards him.
"I'm here for the Princess of Heart." Abroc informed him.
"Hmm, I'm guessing that the Colonel wants to make sure that nothing changes in this part of the plan." Snake assumed.
"This has to be done." Abroc said, "The Keyblade Master's rage and anger shouldn't be pointed at you."
"Look Abroc, I know that you're the right hand man for the Colonel but this is nothing better than a bunch of cow pie. There is no way that I'm handing over the little princess."
"It is orders, Snake." Abroc told him firmly. "It needs to be done."
Snake glared at Abroc before heading towards him and grabbed him by the neck. Snake then slammed him in the wall, making Abroc growl in pain. "Don't tell me what needs to be done." Snake growled at him, "I wasn't born yesterday and you have no right to tell me what to do."
"I sense multiple numbers of emotions." Link appeared through a portal, making Snake let go off Abroc. "I didn't miss something, did I?" Link asked the two as he handed the milkshake that he was told to make to Snake.
"Don't ask." Abroc coughed as he felt his neck with his yellow claw, "Just Snake looking at the situation in the wrong way."
Snake took a sip of the drink before looking down at Abroc, "Where I come from, we don't give away our prize, we cherish it." He watched Abroc lift himself off the ground. "We are following the Dark Master's orders, not Devil's. And the Dark Master's orders are to take the prisoners to African Depths."
"Prisoners?" Abroc raised an eyebrow.
"You didn't think that the Princess would be here on her own, did you?" Link asked him in a monotone voice.
"Well..." Both Snake and Link sighed at this.
"We can discuss this later." Snake said to the Sergeant, "We have a gun to test." He then turned to Link. "Let the privates in." Link nodded and opened the door to let the two recruits that Snake and Link had found lost. "Sergeant Abroc, this is Private Ricky and Private Lax." Snake introduced.
Abroc turned to the two, confused about these new privates. As he looked over their appearance, he decided to test something on one of them. His yellow claw glowed a golden colour for a second before going dull again. Abroc then approached the two, "Nice to meet you." Abroc placed his claw in front of them.
"You don't seem that fearful." Ricky statement as he crossed his arms.
"Ric! You have to be respectful." Lax whispered to him.
"How can I been respectful when you call me Ric." Ric said bitterly.
The solider known as Lax seemed to ignore this as he approached Sergeant Abroc, "It is an honour to meet you sir." Lax grabbed Abroc's claw to shake and Abroc smirk as he could feel the solider starting to shake from his ability. He could sense that this Lax was getting more intimidated by Abroc. Abroc could see the victim's worst fears, memories, life. Abroc knew that something was fishy about these privates.
Abroc let go of Lax's gloved hand and watched as he whimpered back to his friend. Abroc then turned back to Snake, "I'm not sure about that Lax kid." Abroc reported.
"And the feeling from this Ricky seems stronger than any other depressed person that I've made feel better." Link added.
"Both of you hush." Snake instructed them. "You are just as paranoid as each other. I don't want to hear another word about this."
"But-" Both of them started.
Snake summoned his snake sword and whipped it at the two as it changed into whip form. This made the two endless drop the subject. "Ready the weapon so I can leave this flying machine." Abroc and Link sighed before going to the machines.
Snake looked at the world that they were approaching and saw that it was a high school kind of world. "Sir, the cannon is fully charged and is ready to fire." Link reported.
"Tell the metal horsemen to aim the cannon at co-ordinates 5318 a.k.a WildCats." Snake commanded. While Link closed his eyes to send the message to the engineers; Abroc, Ricky and Lax approached Snake so they could see the view as well. They watched as a silver coloured cannon appeared from the front of the elite ship. A bright green energy started to gain in the middle of the cannon as the ship appeared to fire.

On Wildcats, thousands of students that went to the so called East High School were celebrating as the big game was going to happen in the next two weeks. The colour theme to the school was red and white as the basketball team was named after the world 'Wildcats'. Wildcats are the only world that has multi-world competition and in two weeks, they will be against Transverse Town. A yellow bus appeared to reveal a group of students coming to school. A guy with brunette hair that went below his ears wearing a blue t-shirt, green jacket and beige trousers came off the bus. As soon as he did, a guy with an afro style hair approached him with a basketball in hand.
"Hey Troy, what's going on?" the guy with the basketball cheered happily.
"Hey Chad, you excited for this new semester?"
"Hell yeah!" Chad shouted, "In two weeks, we'll be taking on Transverse town for the championship with you leading us to infinite and beyond." Troy smiled as Chad handed him the basketball.
"WILDCATS!" The others students shouted. "GET YOUR HEAD IN TH-"
The cheering of the students stopped as the sky changed from the clear blue to a dark green. The students of East High looked up in the sky to see a huge green like sun in the sky. Some students were starting to get scared; others were trying to figure out what was going on.
Chad looked fearfully at this green sun before looking at his captain, "What do you think it is?" he asked him in a worried tone of voice.
"I don't know." Troy asked with a hint of fear. Before any of the students knew it, the green sun got bigger.

KABOOM!!!!!
Riku and Max eyes widened and they breath was caught from underneath their helmets as they watched the elite ship destroy the entire world. The only trace of the world ever existing is a red lion's head from a poster that was floating in space. The two looked at each other to see if they had just seen what they think they just saw. It seemed to be confirmed when Major Snake started to cheer happily as well as Abroc chuckling to its success and Link simply nodding. As the three order members celebrated, Riku looked at Max to see that he was literally shaking in his boots and he could hear him breathing quickly. "M-Lax, are you alright?" Riku quickly corrected himself.
Max started to laugh nervously as he watched Abroc, "R-R-Ricky, have you f-f-fought Abroc?" he asked fearfully.
"What? No." Riku stepped towards Max, "What did he do to you?"
Max watched as the image of Abroc turned into a huge shadow with horns and red eyes, hovering over him. "H-H-His emotion." Max replied before stepping behind Riku for protecting. Riku sighed before turning to face Max and tried to calm him down.
"I have to go now. I have to take the prisoners to their new home." Snake announced as he placed his snake sword away and began to head out of the door.
Prisoners? Riku turned around at this.
Abroc approached Snake, "You can't just disobey the Colonel. He needs the Princess of Heart."
Kairi... so Snake is heading to where Sora and the others are. Riku turned to Max, who was still shaking with fear, grabbed him by the shoulders and began to drag Max towards the two members. As Riku went towards Snake, he could feel an intense glare burn his skin. Riku quickly looked to his side to see Link staring at him with his arms crossed and his eyebrow raised. Riku knew that Link was starting to get suspicious of him and Max so he tore his eyes away from the purple clawed endless and headed toward Snake.
"We will not discuss this again." Snake said firmly to Abroc as Riku and Max approached him. "I will not give-"
"Sir, can we come with you to African Depths." Riku interrupted them. Snake turned around and looked at him strangely.
"You're asking permission?" Snake questioned. Riku didn't reply, he just stood there. "Well, I see no problem wi-"
"We need them here." Link spoke up, "A few extra hands wouldn't hurt, right Abroc."
Abroc nodded in agreement, "I'm sure that having a few privates with you would disgrace your cowboy image." Abroc said to Snake.
Riku and Max looked back at Snake as he began talking, "Hmm...I suppose so." Damn! Riku thought. Snake then opened the portal and went through it, leaving Riku and Max with Abroc and Link. Abroc faced the two again as stepped towards Max, making him shiver.
"Fear is something that Endless shouldn't have." Abroc said deadly to him, "It would lead to a quick and painless death."
Link started to walk towards Riku, "Having regrets would lead to being remorse and being remorse would leave you weak." Link raised his right arm up and his purple claw glowed. Riku and Max then grabbed their helmets as they felt a sudden increase of gravity being pushed in their helmets as it started to crush their head. Link waved his claw again and the helmets shattered, revealing their faces.
Abroc growled at the sight of Riku and summoned his thunder shaped board sword. "Looks like we have the captain to ourselves." Abroc aimed his sword at Riku. Captain? Why did he call me captain? "One strike and I can change everyone's lives." Riku summoned Way to Dawn and was ready to defend himself; he looked over to Max to see that Abroc's special effect was still affecting him. Abroc charged his sword so sparks of blue lightning reflected of the sword. He was about the strike when Link summoned his scythe and blocked the path between Abroc and Riku. "What are you doing? I'm the commanding Order member of this ship-"
"You're also an idiot which allows me to out-rank you." Link shot back before slamming the staff part of the scythe down on the floor. He then glared at Riku, "Such remorse shouldn't exist. What is it that you hold causes you so much mental pain."
"There's nothing wrong with me." Riku shouted and charged at Link. Link smirked at Riku as he simply dodged his attacks. Riku growled at Link's lack of seriousness in his attacks and started to teleport behind Link. Link just stepped to the side to where Riku appeared and Riku went flying right into Max.
Link then looked at Abroc, "Let's finish them." Abroc nodded in agreement and started to approach the two. Riku groaned in pain as he got off of Max and got up to face the order members. Abroc waved his claw to create a row of thunderbolts. Riku quickly created a barrier to protect him and Max. Link then crushed his claw together, destroying Riku's barrier, then pushed his claw forward, making Riku go flying into the wall.
Riku huffed as he quickly summoned the Way to Dawn again and crushed the keyblade into energy. Riku's fist suddenly turned rock hard and he quickly slammed down on the ground. The ship started to rumble from Riku's attacks, making Abroc and Link lose their balance. Riku took this chance to grab Max and ran out of the bridge.

The sense of betrayal runs through your veins, it's not safe to keep things bottled up.
GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!
Sora had woken up in his sphere-like cage after experiencing his worst nightmare once again. He looked around to see that the others were still asleep and safe. Sora sighed in relief before he leaned against the bars of his cell. Tell me where Roxas is. Sora demanded.
Why worry about a Nobody? He technically doesn't exist.
Shut up! Roxas may be a Nobody but he does exist and will continue to exist. Now where is he!?!
I didn't want to tell you this but... Sora waited for the voice to respond. Roxas is deep in your heart, trying to release Anti-Sora so you would forever be a heartless and that he would be free.
W-wha... Roxas wouldn't do that. I know that he wants to be free but he wouldn't go against me and he wouldn't leave Naminé.
If all that you have said is true than where is here?
"ENOUGH!" Sora shouted out loud. The mysterious voice didn't have a comeback to Sora, making Sora glad that it was gone for the time being. Sora thought about what the voice had said. Roxas betray me? He wouldn't do that...would he? Sora then realised that he had said that out loud and checked if anyone woke up. Sora heard yawning coming from one of the cages and looked to see who was waking up.
"Huh?" Sora watched as Kairi began to wake, "Kairi! I'm glad you're okay." He said.
Kairi held her hand in pain as she woke up and then looked around the room, "Sora, where are we?"
"Kairi, we were captured. Remember?" Sora reminded her as he got up and stepped forward the egde of the cage that directed Kairi's cage.
"Oh." Kairi quickly looked at her surroundings again as the memory of before came rushing back to her. "It wasn't a dream..." she said quietly.
"A dream?" Sora asked, managing to catch Kairi's words.
Kairi nodded, "It just seems like something that would be in a dream." Kairi said "But everything that we have experience would seem like a dream. Like Destiny Islands getting destroyed by the Heartless, going to other worlds, meeting new people like Donald and Goofy."
Sora chuckled softly, "Yeah, I guess you kind of get use to it. Get used to the fact that dreams have their way of..." Sora then realised what he was saying, "coming true." He muttered to himself.
Kairi was starting to worry about Sora, she had started to notice throughout this journey that his behaviour was off. She had found up and about at early hours in the morning, claiming that he couldn't sleep. She had seen him looking aimlessly at his claw with confusion and she had seen him lose his temper more but with Brian being cocky all of th-
Brian
Kairi looked over to Brian's cell to see that he was asleep and was muttering 'not an endless' in his sleep. Kairi then remembered the whole event with the Major and how he had set a spell on her to prove his point. She still wondered what that achieved but the image of Brian being in one of those Endless uniforms were just plain scary. "Do you think Brian would be okay?" Kairi asked, finally out of her train of thought.
Sora suddenly came back from zoning out and looked over to Brian's cell. "He'll be fine." Sora said before looking back at Kairi. "It's just gonna be strange when we look at him now."
"What do you mean by that?" Kairi questioned.
"Well, he's an endless-"
"And you were a heartless but we didn't hold you back on it, especially me." Kairi cut him off.
"I know. I know. I didn't mean it that way." Sora assured his friend, "It's obvious that Brian had no idea about this. I'm just thinking that his personality would change after the words that Hikari said to him and finding out the truth."
"Why? What happened between Hikari and Brian?" Kairi asked with eagerness.
"Well, Hikari was just as surprised and upset as all of us that Brian didn't tell any of us. She said that he had been lying to her the whole time." Sora looked at Kairi again to see her looking at Brian with empathy. "I'm sure that they would make up. They are best friends after all." Sora said brightly.
"Yeah, you're right." Kairi agreed before looking around her cell, "We have to get out of here." Sora nodded in agreement and the two tried to find a way out. At first, they both found a tiny keyhole for the lock and tried to summon their keyblades. They were surprised and shock when the keyblades did not come but Sora then realised that they were wearing the special magic cuffs that prevents them from summoning their keyblades. The two then tried kicking the door, the hold of the sphere cage, the walls, everything but it wouldn't move an inch.
The two suddenly heard big metal machinery around the prison as their cells started to move, making Sora and Kairi fall to the ground and waking Hikari and Brian up. As the two wandered what was going on, Kairi looked up from the side of the cell and saw a huge metal claw grab her cage. Kairi started to feel terrified and shouted down to the others as he cage was lifted through the roof. Sora called after her, followed by Brian and Hikari before three more metal claws appeared and grabbed their spheres as well. The claws lead the group to strange train-track style pathway that made the sphere roll. The four held their yells and screams as the spheres went down a huge dip about hundred feet down. The spheres gathered more speed while going down the track before suddenly halting, making everyone in the sphere cages crash hard into the wall. The group then said a blue and white coloured gummi ship in front of them before more claws appeared and placed them in the gummi.
A/N: WRITER BROCK SHOULD BE BURNED. Sorry for the slow update and this chap make not be as good as others. On the plus side, I have made a good use for High School Musical. BWAHAHAHAHAHAH Also, for those who has read and reviewed Bachelor Auction. Thank you and you guys have asked if I make it to a full story. Thing is, I have no ideas on how to extend it without ruining it. It's best to leave until this story is done. If you do have any ideas for that story then just review me. Also, I've been busy socializing, going to London to buy cooler kingdom hearts stuff and be telling friends of the time when I was blindfolded and I ran into the table.
Sora: Can we do messages now?
A/N: No! Not yet! Also, I met the actor from SG-1, Daniel Jackson. He was cool, I got to hug him. I also brough the entire kingdom hearts manga series cause it's funny and it saves me going on the game.
Kairi: you done yet?
A/N: No, I'm not do-"
Brian: She's done. On with the messages.
A/N: But- (staff of myths is aimed at my neck) Okay, messages.
Kisdota-The Freak Gamer: Trust me though, It still shocks me now. It's that confusing and bizarre yet it makes complete sense. (::)
Taeniaea: Yes thank you. I'm glad it's a great story because if it wasn't a great story then I would be wasting precious amount of my life but I like writing so I properly would have wasted it anyway, hope to hear from you again soon (::)
Artmis/Forester: Welcome to the Balance of Worlds, talk line thank you for your reviews. I'm kingdommad and I'm glad that you have chosen this story to read. Also, this story will not die as I am determined to finish this story so hold on tight for the journey that you would be reading. Hope to read more great reviews from you. (::) (::) (::)
Shadow Sylph: PIE RULES.... It's summer and it's already been cool. I went to the London Film and Comic Con (Which you properly already know since I accidently called you) and meet actors and got more cool stuff. There were even cosplayers. How is your summer going at the moment? Can't wait to hear from you. (::)(::)(::)(::)
Sailor Winx: I love the fact that you write 'Almost'. It put a smile on my face. Hope to read more of your opinions on the story. (::)(::)(::)

Destiny-FaithAngel: yum yum, that cookie was nice. Anyway, for your Endless are similar to Organisation XIII. The Endless are highly powerful Unbirths only that they have their own bodies, has an element, an emotion and cool outburst modes which will be explained while Unbirths run under Endless and have different forms like Nobodies and Heartless. I will properly show different forms of Unbirths in the next chapter since Riku and Max are on the run. (::)(::)(::)(::)(::)(::)(::)(::)(::)(::)
That's it for me. Hopefully I won't have writer block while writing. It's annoying. I know what to write but I don't know how to write it. I can only write when I zone out. Thanks for reaching the right amount of reviews guys.
Brian: Kingdommad doesn't own kingdom hearts, only the plot and most of the OCs.
See ya next time
