I think it's time we see our villains for once. So yeah... Also someone help me please. I have been listening to the same song on repeat for the past five hours... I don't know why I don't change the song...
Disclaimer: I don't technically own the villains, they are based on Kirby final bosses... If it wasn't obvious yet.
The Teal haired woman walked through the caverns, her only source of light being a strange looking lantern she carried. The lantern itself appeared to have a cartoon feel about it, the color even seemed to be poorly drawn.
Drawcia sighed as she traced her hand against the cavern walls, soon smiling as she felt an indent that seemed to be manmade. The beautiful woman positioned her palm directly at the center of the indent and muttered a few phrases before a light emitted around the indent and revealed a passage.
"Everyone better be here, or else I'm taking away their candy..." She uttered a threat to no one in particular as she ventured into the secret passage. A few lit torches lit the path, she placed her own lantern on the ground and watched as it melted to be a puddle of paint. The paint then began to flow into a vial Drawcia held in her hands and quickly bottled the vial as it was fully filled, afterwards she continued on her walk down the lit corridor.
At the end of the secret passage, she looked at her fellow family.
"Mama's home!" A jester on a ball yelled as he made his way to her, still performing a balancing act. Another one of her children walked up to her, only more calm than his brother.
"Hi mom."
"I'm glad to see you two are fine, Marx, Magolor." She hugged both her kids and smiled. A woman in the corner chuckled.
"They may be alive, but they did fail in their missions. And why don't you tell them what happened on yours Magolor?" Drawcia glared as she looked at the other woman. Her hair being a regal pink and her attire classifying her as royalty sharing the same taste as her hair shade. A small gold crown with a large ruby embedded into it, as well as holding to scepters in her hands, one representing the sun and the other the moon.
"I don't want to hear anything from you, bitch."
"Is that any way to treat your own royal sister?" The royal pain smiled upon seeing her sibling grow furious.
"That was uncalled for Aunt Sectonia!" A crescent shaped boomerang flew out to the royal woman and was quickly cut in half by a phantasmal sword.
"You really need to teach your kids discipline, they need to respect me and call me-"
"Queen Sectonia, we get it already, just shut your damn trap already!" Drawcia freed her kids from the embrace and walked towards a chair. "If you really were a Queen, then how come you're not even in charge?" The teal haired woman smiled upon hearing the blissful silence from her sister. The silence was broken by footsteps as they turned to see an albino man, his ivory hair having blood red tips, his eyes remaining red outside the iris. But the iris itself was a pitch black as the pupil remained white.
"Hello everyone." He greeted in a low tone that seemed to hiss. He looked at his children and smiled as they hugged his legs.
"Daddy's back!"
"Yes I am, now how was your missions?" Upon asking how his children did on the jobs they were given, both began to sob. Marx, the jester, spoke first.
"This girl came in and killed all my puppies, now we don't have an army of kishin eggs."
"I accidentally revealed our plan..."
The father placed both hands firmly on his children's heads to stop their sobbing.
"It's fine, I'll make sure we can still develop an army and become the new kishin. I promise." The small kids wiped their teary eyes and smiled at their father. Though it was a heartwarming moment, the context of these people were anything but sunshine and happiness.
"I still can't believe Zero is going to be the next kishin, what makes you better than Asura?" Sectonia asked, referring to the first kishin that was defeated.
"Where he feared everything, I fear nothing. Asura wished to bring the end to sanity, I wish to open their eyes and accept their fate with the End." The albino man walked off away from his kids and made his way to the center of the dimly lit room. His arms reaching out as if he was preaching.
"The people that currently reside in the world are awful and imperfect, an awful thing. With my power as a kishin, I will rid this world and start mankind over again, I will become God." He began to increase his tone, the sound of his voice echoing and bouncing off the walls.
"And we shall help rule over the world." The royal queen added, snickering as the others joined in on the twisted laughter.
"Open your eyes, pup." A familiar voice echoed in his head, Roy frowned as he slowly followed the command to be face to face with crimson red eyes.
"Shotze...? Am I dreaming, because everything seems to be echoey and a bit more sophisticated than it should be..." The young fox asked as he noticed the position they were in. The Golden Kitsune was on top of his body while he was laying on his back.
"Yes, you are currently asleep, but we don't have much time to explain." The boy yawned as he activated his Deceiving Eyes to put on his human disguise. "That look is cute on you pup, but what I'm about to tell you affects your meister."
"Dad... Tell me now!" Roy snapped, wanting to know what would happen to his father figure, whether it be good or bad.
"I've been keeping him away from this world, but his will seems to be breaching into it."
"How, he doesn't eve know about this place." The golden furred fox chuckled.
"By getting stronger and strengthening your bond together, it's slowly giving him access to this forest. The more you resonate, the more he will know." On the inside, Roy was sweating bullets but his illusion kept an angry glare at the kitsune.
"Tell me how to keep him out."
"Easy, break apart and search for that which has been lost." The Deceiving Eyes faded and the fox had tears beginning to form in the corner of his eyes.
"You mean I have to leave so he won't find out?" Shotze remained silent, thus answering his question. The young fox was at a fork in the road. He didn't even know what the reason for keeping it hidden was for anymore, but would it really be worth losing his father figure? The tears burned as the flooded onto his face, the kitsune brought one of his tails forward to wipe the stray tears.
"I don't want to leave... We finally have a home here."
"But do you want to protect that home? He discovers that the blood flows through you, it can mean the end of the partnership."
"Dad would never do that, he wouldn't!" The young fox cried out, deluding himself to knowing every outcome.
"Help us or not, we are a Kitsune, allies to Witches, that alone makes us a target for the DWMA." Again, Roy was choosing not to believe Shotze.
"No! Maka and Soul is keeping it a secret and they accept it!"
"What makes you so sure they won't off you as well, what if the nice routine was just an act?" The young fox notice his vision blurring as he was slowly beginning to wake up.
"Believe it or not pup, but loneliness is the curse that follows a Kitsune."
Roy slowly opened his eyes to feel his cheeks were wet with the fresh tears. He rose up in his bed and felt the warmth in his eyes, he was already putting up the illusion he was asleep as he continued to weep softly. He didn't want to ever leave his father, or the friends he made, but he didn't want to risk death.
After a minute of regaining a calm composure, the fox slipped out of bed and looked at the opened window. 'Thanks to me eyes, I'll be able to manage on my own... But loneliness will still follow me.'
You don't have to fear being alone, pup.
Roy sighed upon hearing his inner kitsune's voice. 'This is basically talking with myself, so don't be offended when I ignore you.'
The fox thought in his mind, knowing Shotze would hear it. He made his way to the closet and pulled out a pair of dark blue jeans, a white t-shirt, and a red plaid dress shirt. Upon putting on his clothes, he looked to the side and noticed a flannel that wasn't there before. The flannel was a dark gray color, the material was of a light fabric and was just like a button up shirt. 'Might as well use it as a jacket.'
The fox pulled it over his shoulders and slipped his arms through the sleeves. He looked back at his father's sleeping figure and sighed one last time before making his way to the window.
"Goodbye Dad..." He uttered as he leaped out the open window and landed on his feet safely. Afterwards, he activated the illusion to make himself appear human and dashed out of the city and into the dessert. Looking back every so often to feel the pain of abandoning his family and friends.
"Shotze, where do I go know?" Roy huffed as he trekked through the sand dunes.
Find the your brothers, at least you can meet the blood family that still cared for you.
"Right, but where do I start?" He replied as he slid down a dune.
If I remember correctly, the last place you lived at was California.
The fox felt a bit of fatigue from the running, he slumped down in the sand and breathed deeply to get oxygen in his lungs.
"That makes sense, didn't me and Dad first meet at the Sierra Nevada Mountains?" Roy tried to recall, but in the direction he was heading towards was in the direction of both locations.
Indeed, that means you didn't travel far away from your real family.
"Let's just hope they still welcome me..." The fox sighed as he got up and continued he journey. Even if they didn't want him, he could always have the image of what they wanted in a child thanks to the Deceiving Eyes. "Watch out California... I'm coming!"
And then Excalibur followed him... Oh man, I really don't want to bring that fucking Holy Sword in this... But he makes for good comic relief! Forgive me guys when that fucking annoying white penguin looking thing does appear!
