Chapter 2 Olympus Coliseum/The Mission
(Kate POV)
When we landed, the first thing we noticed were we were at an arena of sorts. Up ahead of us was a centaur, right? Anyways he was shorter than I had expected him to be, but other than that, if he can train us, then I wouldn't mind.
"Hey Phil," Oswald said, "I was wondering if you could train two new recruits. Phil, meet Rayna and Kate, girls, meet the best trainer we know of, Phil."
"Girls to train huh, well it's nice to meet you," Phil as if attempting to flirt.
"I am here to train, not anything else," Rayna said, "I wanted to train, to understand using the keyblade, not whatever you thought you had in mind."
"Fine, fine, training it is," Phil said with some discontent, handing us a scroll, "do the set written down here, when you two are done, report back to me."
"Alright sir," I said, "Time to do some old-fashion P.E."
Honestly, after finally deciphering his handwriting, we finally saw how challenging it is. Halfway through, Rayna was already finished at least two thirds of it and now she was on the ground panting looking up to the sky.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
"I'm done," she said, "I've pushed myself past my limits; I am done for the day."
"Come on, how about we finish it together," I suggested, holding out a hand to help her up, "doesn't matter how fast or slow we'll go. At least do it or else Phil will make us do something ten times worse."
"Okay then," Rayna said getting up, "let's just do this.
"After three hours, Oswald came over and told us we could go and that we already had enough training for a while…at least. We boarded the Gummi Ship and were taking off again.
"So was that all we were suppose to be doing at Olympus?" Rayna asked.
"Actually, Mickey wanted it to be test on your hearts, and honestly, you both passed," Oswald said.
"So now what?" I asked.
"Two things, naming our gummi ship and the mission," Oswald said, "so the first order of business is, the name, what should we call it anyways?"
"How about Skylight Era?" Rayna asked, "after all, for us the sky could be our limit."
"Well I can't think of anything else," Oswald said, "how about you Kate? Any ideas?"
"Nope," I said, "My mind is blank."
(Rayna POV)
"Well then Rayna, you named the ship, so you're the captain of Skylight Era," Oswald said.
"No Oswald, you should be captain," I said, I was shocked, I didn't ask to be captain, "you have more experience than Kate and me. I insist."
"Well if you say so," Oswald said.
"So what is our mission anyway?" Kate asked.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot," Oswald taking out some sort of card with a clear circular center, then hologram began to show up, "Before you two were found, we've been dealing with a lot of problems. At first it was the Unversed that fed off of negativity, but now, our main issues are the heartless, they come from a corrupted person's heart and they will go off to gather other innocent hearts."
"So what do we do?" Kate asked.
"Defeat the heartless of course," Oswald said, "Oh yeah, we should also watch out for the Nobodies."
"Nobodies?" I asked as two new holograms appeared one of a very flexible white creature and the other what seemed to be human in a black cloak.
"Well the general ones we'll be encountering are not as strong, but come in numbers," Oswald said then motioning to the human version, "the other however is stronger with special abilities."
"Wait a second, I saw Mickey wearing a similar cloak," I said.
"Oh don't worry about that, that's just a disguise he uses for now with Riku," Oswald said, "Riku is another keyblade wielder that you might meet."
"Oh, so where do we go now?" Kate asked.
"Traverse Town," Oswald said, "we don't have enough supplies. I could try to teach you guys a few spells, just in case, you can't always be fighting with just the keyblade alone."
(Kate POV)
That was odd, the entire time after we finished learning the spells and being able to somewhat do them, Rayna has just been staring out the window, I even suggested her to teach me card games to pass the time but it seemed like she was ignoring me. Hopefully she was okay, hopefully.
Just as we landed it seemed that Rayna just wanted to stay in the ship, I went to her to tell her we were about to leave the ship when her body is now on the windowsill and her eyes were closed. Since when did she fall asleep? She seemed peaceful sleeping there like that, but then again, also pretty uncomfortable.
"Hey if you want, we can move her to one of the beds," Oswald said, "come on, I'll take you there."
With some help, I was finally able to get her on the bottom bunk with the blanket tucked for her. Leaving a note beside the bedside table I silently closed the door and left Skylight Era. On the way however, I did notice a separate bedroom.
"Oswald, what's with the extra bedroom?" I asked.
"Oh it's mine, Yen Sid's idea," Oswald said, "always said that I shouldn't share a room with any girl other than Ortensia."
"Who's Ortensia?" I asked.
"My girlfriend," Oswald said, "and please just promise me if you ever see her, just try not to mention traveling with me."
"I understand," I said.
We went around getting supplies and fighting a few heartless, I just hope that Rayna will be okay. But for now, I just don't want to carry the tents around anymore. I just hope we could finish this as soon as possible. And when we get back, I hope that Rayna is okay.
