I do not own any thing in this story. Enjoy.
Star, Steven, and Marco just got off the gummi ship and walked through the gates. Well Marco ran and looked green. He was very motion sick and was now looking for a trash can.
"Did you have to drive that fast Steven?" Star asked.
"In my defense no one told me he was motion sick. And how do you get motion sickness in a space ship anyways?"
"Maybe because you kept rocking the whole ship!" Marco exclaimed who was now leaning over a trash can. Right after he said that he went back to throwing up in it. Steven just looked embarrassed and self-consciously rubbed his arm. Soon Marco was done and joined Star and Steven. Now that they all calmed down they looked around the new world they were in. The whole place seemed to be made out of bricks from the floor to the buildings. To their left they could see tables and chairs with candles in the center of the tables as if they were set up for romantic dinners. They could see a couple people here and there. In the center of the square there were two lampposts a couple feet apart. They had a little grass around them. To the right was a giant door leading to another area but it seemed to be locked right now. Further up the center was a set of stairs leading to a shop with a sign that said Accessories. To the left of it was another shop with a sign saying Items over it. There was an ally way in between the two. The right of the big shop was another set of stairs that led to further back behind it.
"So this is Traverse Town? Sure does seem peaceful." Marco commented.
"Probably why people end up here." Steven replied.
"Well come on guys let's go look around here. And find Oswald's friend while we're at it." Star said barley able to keep her excitement.
"Alright. I don't think we need to worry too much about it here but remember that Ortensia said that the other worlds are to be kept secret. And Star...don't touch anything that looks breakable." Marco told her as if she was five year old.
"I don't know what you're talking about Marco." To prove her point Star went over to one of the lamppost and touched it. The moment she did it just fell over and the glass broke. Star just stared at Marco in confusion while Marco sighed.
"Guys look! A star is going out!" Steven said.
"No I'm not silly. I'm right here." Star said not understanding what Steven said.
"No I mean an actual star is going out!" The three looked up into the night sky as they saw a star blink a little before it disappeared completely.
"We better hurry." Marco said. The three then started up the stairs, worry about the lamppost gone, but Steven stopped when he thought he saw something from the corner of his eye. He turned towards the ally and for a second thought he saw a familiar pink tail.
'Lion.' Steven thought. Steven ran to the ally and turned around the corner. When he got there however all he saw was an empty ally minus a huge crate. Steven felt that he should look around and was almost past the crate when Star and Marco called from a ledge that was at the corner.
"Steven come on. You can explore later." Marco called. It knocked Steven out of his daze and turn to his two new friends.
"Coming!" He ran out the ally and caught up with two other teenagers. "Sorry thought I saw someone back there...I guess I was wrong." He said now getting upset that he let his hopes up.
"It's okay Steven. I'm sure we'll find someone." Star said trying to cheer him up. "We still have a lot of the world to look around anyways." She said pointing to the doors. Steven seemed to agree nodding before looking like his cheery self. The three then continued their search for the King's friend and the key.
Back in the ally Lion came out of the shadows. He looked down at where the crate was but was not looking at the crate itself. Right next to it was an unconscious white hair boy with an orange shirt. Lion came up to the boy and rubbed his nose against the boy's face moving him a little. The boy made a little noise before slowly waking up. He opened his still tired eyes and the first thing he saw was a giant pink lion staring at him.
'A giant pink lion. Cool.' Lincoln thought before falling back to sleep. 'Wait...what!' Lincoln screamed internally. He looked back to make sure he wasn't seeing things and sure enough the lion was still there. "Ahhhhhhh!" He screamed before standing up against and going against the wall.
"Please don't eat me!?" He yelled. He was shaking as if he just watched the Harvester. He realized nothing had happened and he looked back the lion. It was just staring at him before he yawned as if he was bored. Lincoln calmed down a little seeing that the lion that was at least twice his size wasn't going to attack him. He slowly walked up to it before he started reaching out for Lion's muzzle. Lion let him pet him to show that he was friendly and because he missed someone petting him. After a minute Lincoln was no longer scared and actually laughed.
"Ah ah. I've heard that the bigger animals are usually gentler but takes the cake." He said. "Lana would really like yo-" But stopped when he realized something. "Wait...where's Lana? And for that matter where am I?" Lincoln asked himself and the lion. Not that he expected him to answer. Surprisingly the lion, who was sitting like a house cat, was looking towards the Lincoln before pointing its front paw at the exit. Lincoln looked where he was pointing thinking he might as well look around.
"Thanks." He said to the lion. Lion nodded before running off again. "Why do I feel like this is only going to get weirder?" Lincoln asked out loud. He went around the corner and didn't believe his eyes. "What is this place? Where's the beach, my home ...my family?" He asked. He thought about what happened before waking up here. He and Lana, who somehow got one of those swords, had defeated the giant creature that he had named the Darkside. After that they and everyone that was on the roof had been sucked into the sky as if there was a tornado. Lucy handed Lily to Lincoln and then Lana made a shield around them when they before he passed out. He doesn't know what happened to the others there or what happened to Lynn and Ronnie. "How did I get here?" He noticed that it was completely dark and that were a bunch of stars out. He saw a lamppost on the ground and that the glass had been broken. He saw that little white creatures with pink noses and something floating over their heads, it is really connected to a thin antenna, cleaning up the mess.
"I wonder what happened there." He then noticed the shop behind him and decided it would be a good a place as any to find out what this place was.
He walked in and saw what could be described as a somewhat normal store. There was a display case in the center, a fireplace to his left, a couple chairs and a couch, and the back wall was a display case for jewelry, and to his right was a small shelf. On the upper to middle right side of the room was a counter with a shelf full of things to buy, and at the end of the counter was a crystal. On top of the counter sat a small man that was no bigger than Lana. He had an orange jacket with blue cuffs, a white under shirt, orange shorts, black shoes, a blue and orange striped hat that had two ends sticking out, a white mustache, and a little white hair under the hat. When Lincoln walked up to him he saw that the shirt had some kind of bird symbol on it. And now that he thought about it Lana might be taller than him.
"Umm...hello sir." Lincoln said. The man had his eyes closed and it sounded like he was snoring. "Hello. Excuse me, could you tell me where I am?" Lincoln then noticed that he was asleep and gently poked his arm. This seemed to be enough to cause the man to wake up startled and fall of behind the counter.
"Ow." He heard the old man say.
"Are you okay sir?" Lincoln asked trying to spot him over the counter. The man jumped over up to the counter before looking at Lincoln.
"Oh I'm fine. Trust me when I say I have had much worse."
"Umm...Okay. If you don't me asking sir, where am I?"
"What, going to skip the introductions boy? You woke me up from a nice nap. I would like to at least now your name kid."
"Well my name isn't kid. It's Lincoln. Lincoln Loud." He said holding out a hand.
"Everyone here calls me Gramps. Especially my children."
"How many kids do you have?" Lincoln asked Gramps without thinking.
"Oh...well they aren't actually mine but I've raised most of them since they were kids and we treat each other like family."
"Oh, that makes since. I actually come from a big family. So once again, where am I?"
"This world here is Traverse Town. Specifically the first out of three districts. I take since you didn't know that you just arrived here?" Lincoln nodded but then realized what he said.
"World? Wait, there are actually other worlds out there?" Gramps nodded. "How did I get here? And what happened to my home?"
"Well...I don't know how to tell you this son but there is most likely nothing left of your home." Gramps said with sorrow in his voice.
"WHAT! What do mean nothing left?!" Lincoln asked.
"Well sad to say those that end up here usually lose their homes. There probably isn't anyone else from your home either. I'm sorry Lincoln." Lincoln looked like he was about to run out and cry not believing his ears. He could possibly never see any of his sisters, Clyde, Ronnie or any of his other friends again! Gramps saw this and decided he needed to say something. "However there is a chance that you could find someone. If they aren't here then they are in the Second or Third district. There is also a clothes store in the Second district. You look like you could use a new look." He said with a slight chuckle at that last part. Lincoln looked at his clothes and saw that his shirt had multiple holes and tears along the waist and his pants legs were a little torn as well.
"G-guess I didn't notice." Lincoln said a little embarrassed.
"Before you go there is a shop next door that will have some things you need. Just tell the kids there that Gramps sent you and they will get you all set up." He said. Lincoln nodded and headed out the door hoping to find any one from his home.
"Be careful in the other districts. This one is the only safe one from those creatures." Gramps warned.
"Thanks. I'll remember that." Lincoln walking out the door.
"So the Keyblade wielder has finally come. He is a little young but that should make no difference. He isn't the only one I sense however. I can tell there is a stronger light nearby." He said. He knew that the day would finally come.
Lincoln walked into the Items shop and saw it was smaller than the Accessories shop. He came in from the top where there was a set of stairs. He could see the counter on the opposite wall with shelves full of those green potions that he used. Besides that there wasn't much else. "So that's what he wants me to get. Make since." Lincoln then looked at who was in the store. He could see a few kids going around cleaning or doing nothing. The first was a boy that was around his age give or take. He had brown shoes, black shorts, a yellow shirt with a black zig-zag stripe, and was bald.
The second was a girl in a blue dress with white shoes and black hair.
The third was a younger girl with a lighter dotted blue dress. She also had white shoes but she had blond hair with a blue flower from in it.
The fourth was another boy with brown shoes, black shorts, a red shirt, enough hair to cover his head but there wasn't a whole lot, and was carrying a blanket. They were all in one group on one side while there was three other kids on the other.
The first was a boy that looked older than Lincoln by maybe two years. He had blue pants, sneakers, a white shirt with blue sleeves, and what looked like blue-purple hair that he most likely dyed.
The second was a boy a little shorter and about a year younger than the first. He had blue shorts and white shoes, a yellow shirt with an orange stripe in the middle, and dark orange hair.
The last person was a girl with blue hair, a pink shirt with yellow sleeves, green shorts and white shoes. Her hair was in a ponytail with a red hairband keeping it up.
Suddenly the bald boy, who was sweeping had tripped causing dust and dirt to fly everywhere. Lincoln thought he heard him mutter 'Good grief.'
"Oh come on Charlie Brown! Can't you do this without messing up at least once you blockhead?" The black haired girl said.
"Give him a break Lucy. It was supposed to be your turn to sweep anyways."
"I don't know what you're talking about Linus." Lucy said to the boy, now known as Linus, with the blanket.
"You okay big brother?" The younger, and the youngest in the room asked.
"I'm fine Sally. Just a little trip."
"Hey Chuck why don't you take a break? I can take over." The blue haired boy said.
"No thanks Tommy. I'm almost done anyways." Charlie Brown said.
'Wow. These guys sure do know how to get along. Well...maybe not those first three.' Lincoln though referring to Charlie Brown, Lucy, and Linus.
"Uh hey guys. I'm not sure if you noticed but we have a customer." The boy next to Tommy said. They all looked at Lincoln who now felt extremely uncomfortable.
"Uh? Oh thanks Dill. I'll take it from here." The last girl said. She quickly walked up the stairs to Lincoln before reaching her hand out. "Hi my name is Kimi. What's yours?"
"Lincoln Loud." Lincoln said feeling a little less awkward.
"Nice to meet you Lincoln." She said as she led him down the stairs. "Welcome to our shop. I'll introduce you to the others." She pointed to the bald kid first. "This is Charlie Brown, very helpful but a little clumsy."
"I'm just going to ignore that last part." Charlie Brown said as he shook Lincoln's hand. Nice to meet you." Just as he said that a black and white dog came out of nowhere and shook Lincoln's hand. He somehow was able to stand on his hind legs. There was a little yellow bird on his head.
"Oh right. This is my dog Snoopy and his little friend Woodstock." Charlie Brown said. "These too just run off anywhere."
"How is he able to walk on his back legs like a person?" Lincoln asked.
"I have no idea. He can do a lot of things dogs can't or shouldn't be able to do. But I just role with."
Kimi then pointed to Lucy. "This is Lucy. She is the bossy one even though I'm the one in charge of the store."
"Will you stop bragging about that?!" She said. She just turned away without acknowledging Lincoln.
"She can be a little rude too." She whispered to Lincoln which made him chuckle. "This is Linus. Lucy's brother. He's in charge of the supply stock. And this is Charlie Brown's little sister Sally. She sometimes help but like's to hang out with her brother...and because she has a crush on Linus." While saying this Sally had been staring at Linus with hearts in her eyes. When Kimi said that it knocked her out of her trance and blush in embarrassment.
"You don't have to tell everyone that." Sally said.
"You make it pretty obvious kiddo." Kimi then introduced the last two boys to Lincoln. "These two are Tommy and Dill Pickles."
"Nice to meet you Lincoln. I've never seen anyone with white hair like that."
"I get it from my Grandpa. I've never seen anyone with blue hair."
"Fair point."
"Hey dude." Dill said. "I'll just say that I'm the awesome out of the two of us." He said referring himself and Tommy. He then tried to do a jump flip from the counter only to fall on his but. "Still working on that." He chuckled.
Lincoln laughed a little with the rest. As soon as they stopped there was an awkward silence in the room.
"Well as you probably guessed I'm new here. I'm looking for my friends or family." Lincoln finally said.
"Sorry about what happened to you. If it makes you feel any better, we all went through the same thing. Kimi, Dill, and I aren't from the same world as the others." Tommy said trying to comfort him. "And I'm sure you will find someone. We all found each other." He continued. True not all their friends or family had been found but they still had each other and made new friends. Lincoln smiled glad that they were trying to help.
"And we can keep a look out for your friends. Who are you looking for?" Kimi asked.
"My best friend, parents, and any of my ten sisters." Lincoln said.
"Ten!" Most of them yelled."
"Yeah. I come from a large family. About half of them have blond hair, the others have brown, and one sister, whose name is actually Lucy, has black hair that she dyed. Five of them are older than me, I'm eleven, the eldest Lori, is 17, and the others are younger than me. The youngest, Lily, is only a baby. The rest of the names are Leni, Luna, Luan, Lynn, Lana, Lana, and Lisa. My friends are Clyde and Ronnie Anne. My parents names are Rita and Lynn Sr." All the kids just stared at him with blank expressions not sure how to remember all those names. "Just ask of they have the last name Loud, McBride, or Santiago." He said to make it simpler. The rest just nooded.
"Well keep an eye out for anyone new." Charlie Brown said.
"Thanks. Well the guy from the other store, Gramps sent me here. He said you would have some things I need." Lincoln said.
"Yep. If you're planning on going out past the First District, then you will need to be prepared." Dill said. Linus then used his blanket to grab some a couple of potions on the top shelf.
"Here. These will heal you if you get hurt." Sally said handing the two bottles to Lincoln. Tommy then handed him a slightly bigger bottle.
"This is the same thing just a little more powerful. It's best to use that when you really need it." Tommy said.
"Thanks." Lincoln said. He grabbed a few more of the regular potions and thanked them. He asked how much they were before realizing he didn't have any money but they said it was free for first time customers, epically those that Gramps sends by. After leaving the shop he went around the Accessories shop and up the stairs. He passed by an empty house and then a workshop that didn't seem to be open or even used right now. He walked up to the doors wandering what the rest of the place looked like. He walked through the doors and saw a wide open space.
Unknown to him Star, Marco and Steven, had just left the Second District and went through a set of doors leading into a hotel. There were a few shops on the left and right but the hotel seemed to take most of the room on the right side. At the end was a bell tower. There was a huge space in the center forming a huge rectangle.
Suddenly a man came running up looking like he saw a ghost. Then he tripped and turned over falling on his back. Lincoln was going to help him when there was a flash of light around where his heart is. Then it looked like his heart left his body!
"What!?" Is all Lincoln could say. The heart was then covered in darkness and the body itself disappeared. Then where the heart was transformed into some king of creature he hasn't seen before. It had blue and silver armor, a hat that looked like it was for a tin man, the feet and claws are similar to the shadow, as well as the yellow eyes in the armor. It also had some kind of heart symbol on its chest. Before Lincoln could react it just disappeared seeming to care about him.
"W-what just h-h-h-happened?" Lincoln asked now confused and scared. What is that thing? Suddenly more of the shadows showed up along with another type of creature. This one flew in the sky, was completely red minus the heart symbol and a little dark orange hat. It also had the yellow eyes under the hat.
"Dang it. There's two new ones." Lincoln said. Suddenly the one in the air was charging up the antenna at the top of its hat and the next thing he knew there was a literal fireball coming at him. Without thinking of it Lincoln put his hand in front of him and suddenly there was two flashes of light. The fireball didn't hit him and when he looked Lincoln saw he once again had the two swords in his hands crossed in an x.
"And now they use magic. Double dang it. Although at this point I shouldn't be surprised." He said as he started to attack them while making his way to the cloths shop.
(Unknown place. Around the same time Lincoln woke up.)
"W-where am I?" Lana asked. She just woke up and had no idea where she was. "I don't think I'm in Kansas anymore." She joked to herself. She looked around and saw she was in a small area mostly blocked by walls. There were paths behind then and on the upper right there was an ally leading to a door that had a fire symbol on it. On the opposite side there was a set of stairs leading to a house and doors to some other part of whatever this place is. She also saw that there was a broken pipe with wires sticking out of it. She looked behind her and saw that there was a small fountain that lit up a small part of the square. In the center were golden statues of two dogs, one male and one female kissing.
"This is a pretty cool place. But how did I get here? And what happened to Lincoln and Lily and….Lola?" Lana was worried about all of her family. Lily and Lola the most because Lily was only a baby and Lola was her twin. Lola then felt a massive headache almost as soon as she got all of her senses back.
"Ow my head." She said. She tried to wait for it to calm down but it seemed it wouldn't do that any time soon. She went to use one of the potions but realized she didn't have any. Suddenly when Lana got to the center of the square she thought she felt a presences. She turned around to see a couple of shadows looking like they were ready to attack. Even with her headache Lana felt this would be easy. She knew to be careful since she wouldn't be able to heal herself but she didn't think running around in some unknown place would be better. Suddenly the same armored creature that Lincoln saw appeared next to the shadows.
"Oh come on!" Lana said. She summoned her keyblade, 'the voice called it that right' she thought, and got in attack position. She decided to try the move Lincoln did sliding across the ground with the keyblade in front of her. She was fast enough to knock the shadows in the air and then swung the keyblade up. She smirked thinking that got them but to her surprise all three were still there! Her strength was apparently lower than she thought. Suddenly she what felt like a foot had hit her in the back. She tumbled on the ground a little before getting up and shaking her head.
"Forgot about that one." Lana said referring to the armored creature. It had done a fast kick to her back while she was distracted. It then ran towards her making a clanking noise. It tried to do the kick again but Lana was able to block it and send a hit back to it. She then swung the blade strait forward hitting it in the chest. She then swung it over her head and then went from the side. That finally finished it off but she still had the shadows to deal with. She turned around and saw that there was now five shadows and two of the armored ones.
"This will take a while." Lana said. She tried to ignore the fact that her vision was getting blurry. She ran for the shadows again swinging diagonally. Two of them were instantly destroyed which meant that there was still one from her first attack at the begging of the battle. Suddenly both of the armored creatures tried to attack her but before they got to close Lana had made a shield. It stopped the attacks but now Lana was getting weaker by the second.
"G-got to k-keep fighting." She said starting to loose her balance. One of the shadows tried to swing its claws at her but she was able to hit it first. Her swing wasn't as strong but this was one of the ones from the beginning of the fight so she destroyed it. Lana realized she needed to run. She saw that there was a huge set of double doors but they seemed to be locked and boarded up. She was also too weak to run. "Need to f-f-find L-L-Lincoln." She said before passing out. Her keyblade was still in her hand however.
"Let's see. The master said that the power he felt was in the Third District." A teenage girl said. She had long blond hair, a white shirt with a blue stripe going across the chest and one down the middle. She had a blue bow in her hair and wore a blue skirt and black shoes and socks. She had a bunch of keys and a whip hanging from her waist. She also has the bird symbol on the back of her hand. Her master, Gramps, said he felt a strong power here and sent her to find it. She was walking down the stairs from the entrance from the Second district but froze when she came around the corner.
Right there were the Heartless, but they weren't looking at her. No, they were surrounding someone or something. One of the shadows had moved just enough that the girl could see there was something in the persons hand. It looked like some kind of sword.
"Hey!" She yelled grabbing on of her keys. This seemed to get the attention of the Heartless. "How about you pick on someone that can fight?!"
"Open! Gate of the Maiden! Virgo!" There was then a magical gate in front of her and another teenage girl was now next to her. Only she wasn't actually a girl but a celestial spirit that looked like a human. She was as tall as the girl with pink hair and a black and white maiden outfit. This is Virgo.
"You called Mistress?" She asked.
"Virgo for the last time you can call me Lucy. But we'll worry about that later. Right now I need your help." She then pointed behind Virgo where there was the few Heartless still looking at them.
"Before you ask there is an unconscious person behind them. Can you get him/her so I can get the person to safety?"
"Off course Lucy." Virgo then went as stiff as a board and went underground making a giant hole. The reason she picked Virgo was because she can make tunnels and could go right under the Heartless and get whoever they were attacking.
Lucy felt the ground shake as Virgo came back up causing the Heartless to fly everywhere. Lucy hit those that weren't destroyed with her whip. When Virgo came up she picked up the person, who she now realized was a small girl six at the most, and ran back to Lucy. Lucy was shocked that it was such a young person. "What was she doing out here by herself? None of the kids are allowed past the Second District and even that can be dangerous." Lucy said. Since the Heartless only attack the Second, and Third Districts, and the alleyway on the other side of the hotel, her and her team made a rule that none of the kids could go to the Third District with it being the most dangerous, hence the locked door, and had to let someone now they were going to the Second District if not have someone protect them so they could get to wherever they needed to go. She noticed that she has never seen this girl before however so that meant one thing...she just lost her home. Lucy then saw what was in the girl's hand before it suddenly disappeared in a flash of light. Lucy's eyes widened with realization.
"We need to get her to the Master fast! We'll have to take the long way. We don't want to destroy the door again." Lucy said referring to when a certain hothead friend of hers made a big hole in the door once. Virgo nodded and handed the girl to Lucy. "Virgo you make a clear path. I'll carry her."
"Of course Lucy." Virgo ran ahead with Lucy right behind her. 'Is this girl really a keyblade wielder? And possible the one the King told us about?' Lucy thought in her head. With Virgo fighting off the Heartless they got to the doors pretty fast.
Second District
Lincoln had just finished of the creatures that he ran into the armored ones and the fire one made it a lot harder. He was getting used to fighting with two blades but not completely in control sometimes loosing balance. He made it to the clothes shop with barley any damage but used a potion just in case. He walked in the store and just as he did a pink haired teenager and a blond haired teenager carrying Lana came around from the ally to the Third District heading for the First. They actually got all the way to the door without running into any of the Heartless that are normally at the stair way/sidewalk. It confused them but decided to not worry about it now and take the chance to get to the First District.
Once they went through the doors Star, Steven and Marco came from the hotel and went to the ally leading to the Third District thinking they may find something there.
"This place is really empty." Star said.
"I know. I was honestly expecting a lot more to happen by now." Steven said. They were having fun looking around but so far have only seen a few people and none of them seemed to be the person they were looking for.
"Don't jinx ourselves guys." Marco said leading the way. So far they haven't run into those creatures that attacked their homes but were keeping watch just in case.
(Unknown Place before Lincoln came to the Second District)
A woman that looked a little older than Lucy was making a sweep around the Second District looking for any sign of the Heartless. She was now under the bell tower which is the Gizmo Shop. This place usually had a lot of Heartless and so it was good place to fight. She had long, dark red hair, fair skin. She wore armor from the shoulders down to her waist with a blue skirt under it. She black had knee high boots and the armor has the symbol that Gramps and Lucy have. This is Erza Scarlet. She is a powerful wizard that uses many different weapons.
As soon as she got to the middle of the Gizmo Shop she thought she heard what sounded like…a crying baby?
"Where is that coming from?" She asked. She knew that none of the children, much less infants, come in here. Which means that whoever this child is most be new. Erza looked around before seeing a little baby girl no more than a year old in a little velvet shirt and blue pants. She could tell the girl was wearing a diaper too which made since. The little girl had a small tuff of blond hair as well. She was on top of one of the platforms in the shop.
The girl was still crying unaware of Erza's presence. Erza quickly went to go get the baby but suddenly the Heartless showed up! Erza quickly got reequipped her swords having to average size blades. There was a few shadows, soldiers and even a Large Body! This one is a giant ball with big feet and a small head with yellow eyes. It has the same symbol as the soldier on its belly. The only way to defeat it is by hitting it with magic or its back since the front acts like a shield.
"Just great." She muttered. Wanting to finish this quickly so the girl didn't get in danger she wasted no time to fight of the Heartless. She quickly swung at the shadows destroying them in one swing. The large body charge at her but she was able to jump over it slashing both swords at its back. This caused it to be defeated leaving only the soldiers. She quickly threw both blades at them causing both to go straight through the soldiers destroying them.
"Didn't even have to use magic." Erza said. She then quickly jumped up to where the baby was and grabbed her of the platform.
"There, there. Don't cry I got you." Erza usually wasn't the most caring type of person when it came to children, especially babies but she had a couple of friends and the master deal with children before. The baby actually calmed down a little seemingly glad another person was with her. She was still sniffling a little though.
"I better take you to the First District huh?" Erza said more to herself. She thought talking to the girl would help calm her down. She left the Gizmo Shop just as three teenagers went into the ally but she didn't see them. She quickly went to the the doors to the First District thinking it would be best to take her there for now.
(Clothes Shop)
Lincoln was looking around the shop trying to find some clothes that would fit him and if possible was in his style. He went to the back and saw a piece of orange fabric in a pile in clothes. He pulled it out and saw an orange sweater with a red outline on the shoulders that were shaped like hearts. It was orange at the top but slowly changes to red at further down the bottom until it is a dark red. It looked like it would fit him. He also pulled out a white undershirt.
"This actually looks cool." Lincoln said referring sweater. Lincoln looked around a little more until he a pair of dark blue shorts. He looked around for a pair of shoes thinking that would be good as well. He found a big pair of what looked like yellow clown shows but who would need shoes that big?
He then found a pair of small sneakers that were about his size. He went to the dressing room and tried on all the clothes. The shirt and sweater fit nicely and he honestly liked the new style. The shorts were a little baggy but fit. The shoes were fine as well. Lincoln then left the store the owner saying it was free for first time customers. He decided to go check the bell tower to see if there was anything there. He got all the way to the other side when two of the creatures that shoot fire appeared out of nowhere.
"Dang it." Lincoln said summoning his weapons. He quickly got out the way of a fireball felling the wind from how fast it was. He then ran until he was under them and jumped up spinning. This made it where he hit the creatures a few times each. When he landed he saw both were still there but figured that they only needed a few more hits. He then swung the one in his right hand (Brother's Key) while the one in his left (Jack of All Aces) was still down. He swung Brother's Key diagonally before quickly bringing the Jack of All Aces up the other direction. That destroyed it and left one more. He quickly did a dodge roll when a fire ball came at him and landed under the creature so he jumped up and slashed it with both blades.
"Wow. I'm getting better at this." Lincoln said running to the bell tower. When he got further down the path he saw there was two ally-ways. One that he couldn't see the end to since it went around a corner, and the other went to a dead end but there was a door to a house. Lincoln then went to the door to the bell tower and walked in.
As Lincoln went in the bell tower Star, Steven, and Marco came back from the Third District not finding much. The three then saw a door way next to a fountain and ran to it. When on the other side they found themselves in an ally-way that was on the other side of the hotel. The place had a two parts with water in it. There were a few lanterns hanging up from the hotel balcony's but aside from that nothing special.
"This has got to be the coolest place ever!?" Star said. She liked places that looked a little creepy. She liked to tease Marco about it.
"This spot is so far the creepiest in this place." Steven said the quietness getting to him. Unlike Star he was a little nervous.
"Oh come on Steven. There isn't anything remotely scary here." Marco said acting tough. Although he was a little unnerved too. "There is nothing to be scared about. I know I'm not." Suddenly Marco felt something on his shoulder making his blood run cold.
"Excuse me." A voice said. That was all it took for Marco to scream like a girl again before jumping in the air and landing in Star's arms. Steven had been scared too and the next thing Star knew she was holding both boys her legs shaking. But not from being scared...it was because of their combined wight.
"Not scared huh?" Star asked him before dropping him and Steven. Marco just smiled sheepishly while Steven looked at who found them. They saw a teenage girl with short blue hair and a blue and white hat. She wore a blue dress with straps over her shoulders and a pair of gloves that went past her elbows. The dress was a little past the knees and was white at the bottom. Except for the edge which was blue. She also wore white knee high boots with blue outlines. On the collar of her dress was a ribbon with some kind of symbol on it.
"Did the King send you?" The girl continued. The three nodded before the woman told them to follow her.
(First District: Accessories shop)
"Master Makarov!" Lucy yelled as she barged into the shop carrying the little girl. When they got to the First District Virgo went back to the spirit realm where her and other spirits live. Gramps was seen sleeping again until she came in causing him to fall again. He quickly got up and looked at Lucy.
"What is it Lucy? I normal would suspect that from Natsu so I assume this is important." He said. Lucy put the girl on the counter next to the old Master.
"I found this girl surrounded by Heartless in the Third District. By the time I got there she was already out cold." She told him pausing to make sure he heard. "She also had what I believed to be a Keyblade. It disappeared from her hand before I could get a good look at it." She said. This caught Makarov's attention.
"Her? A keyblade wielder? But she is so young. And I thought the boy I saw earlier was bad enough."
"What do you mean?" Lucy asked.
"Earlier a young boy no more than eleven, and had white hair for that matter, visited me. He was looking for any one he knew from his home world. Although he didn't actually show me the Keyblade I could tell there was a strong power in him. I will say I did not expect there to be two wielders or for both to be so young.
"Two keyblade wielders." Lucy muttered to herself. She was as surprised as the master.
"Lucy go get some potions from the kids. I think she will need them." He said. The girl was out cold and had a few scratch marks on her arms. The hair ties that kept her pigtails up were falling off as well. Makarov could tell that she was not too bad but thought that a couple potions wouldn't hurt.
Lucy nodded and went to go get some potions from the kids in the Item Shop. She used the upper entrance and quickly got in. "Hey you guys! I need a high potion and a couple regular potions stat! Lucy said.
"Whats wrong Lucy?" Tommy asked.
:Long story short I found a girl surrounded by Heartless passed out in the Third District. She is with Gramps right now."
"I hope she is okay." Sally said.
"I'm sure she is. I just want to be on the safe side."
"Hey Lucy?" Charlie Brown asked.
"Yeah?"
"When the girl wakes up, can you ask her what her name is? We promised that we would keep an eye out for anyone new in the town for a friend."
"Yeah. I'll do that." Lucy said smiling. She was glad that kids were so helpful around town. Lucy(From Peanuts) gave her the potions and went off. "Oh wait. How do I now if the person is related to your friend?"
"Just ask her if she has the last name Loud and if she knows who Lincoln is. He has white hair but is around our ages." Linus said.
"Thanks." She said before leaving. She quickly went back into the Accessories Shop only to Erza with...a little baby?
"Erza what are you doing here?" Lucy asked. "And who is your little friend?" She asked pointing to the baby. She couldn't deny that the little toddler was adorable. Right now she was next to the six-year old Lucy found shaking her.
"I was doing patrol in the Second District when I found her in the Gizmo Shop. Master also told me about your little friend." She said looking at the six-year old girl.
"Ana. Ana! Ake up!" The baby said. She looked both happy but sad at the same time. She was hitting the girls head trying to get her to wake up.
"From the looks of it these two know each other. They might be sisters." Lucy reasoned. The baby seemed to now who this was. 'That's a good thing. I was worried neither of them had anyone from their world.' Lucy thought. 'Also, that baby is so cute.' She added.
"Are you sure she is a keyblade wielder?" Erza asked referring to the still passed out girl.
"I think so. Her keyblade disappeared before I got a good look at it. And its been a long time since the we've seen a keyblade wielder besides the King." She responded walking over to the unconscious girl. She threw the high potion over her first. Any marks or bruises she had disappeared instantly. She was still asleep but they could tell she would be fine.
"Okay. Now that she is fine for the moment, what do we do about the baby?" Erza asked.
"Hmmmm...well the way I see it, either one of you or the kids can take care of her." Gramps said. "And no offense to the young ones but I don't think they can take care of a baby girl so young." He continued.
"I guess I'll take her and the other girl for now." Lucy said. She knew Erza wasn't the best with kids.
"Alright. Where are they going to stay?" Erza asked.
"For now I thought I would take them to my hotel room. What for this one to wake up." Lucy said.
Erza nodded in agreement. "I'll go with you to make sure you get there." If that girl really has a keyblade then the Heartless will come at you more than ever." Erza siad.
"Alright. I'll carry the girls. You lead the way." Lucy said as they left to the Hotel.
(With Lincoln.)
Lincoln only found a bunch of those creatures in the bell tower having to use two of his potions.
"Great now I have two potions left. And the high potion. Why were there so many in that one spot?" He asked himself. He didn't notice that two women had entered the hotel or that they had Lana and Lily.
"I guess I'll go talk to Gramps again. There isn't much else to look from what I can tell." He quickly went to the First District hoping that one of his friends or family had shown up there while he was searching. He got to the First District fast since those creatures didn't show up again. "Weird." Lincoln said as he went through the doors. When Lincoln got to the front entrance of the Accessories Shop he noticed it was quiet. He looked at the town square and noticed that none of the people were out. "Where did everybody go?" Lincoln asked.
He walked down to the middle of the area looking around. Suddenly he felt a presence behind him. He turned around to see that there were three shadows and more were coming.
"I thought they didn't attack this place?!" Lincoln yelled. He summoned his weapons and got started. He had both behind dragging right above the ground as he ran towards them swinging Brother's Key first. He followed up by swinging the Jack of All Trades in an uppercut sending the shadow in the air before swing his other weapon at its midsection. This instantly destroyed the shadow but there are still more. He quickly jumped over to the closet on swinging both blades downs to do a ground slam. He then rolled out of the way. He ran a couple feet away before doing the sliding dash attack from when he fought the Darkside. He hit two of them with the blade on the ground and hit one on the side with the other. He finished those three and saw that there was no more so went to Gramp's shop. He opened the door seeing the man was awake this time.
"Ah Lincoln your back. Has your search gone well?" He asked hopefully.
"No. I haven't seen anyone outside of this District." Lincoln said. He was quickly loosing hope and was wandering if he was going to be stuck here forever.
"Well I'm sure you'll find someone. You know, two of my pupils brought this two girls in. One was around six and the other a baby. Both had blond hair, and the older one wore a pair of blue overalls. Do they sound familiar?" Gramps asked. He found it more than coincidental that these two girls showed up at the same time as Lincoln and that one of them also had a keyblade.
"Lily and Lana?!" He exclaimed. "Where are they?!"
"Well I don't now if that is there names. The older one was still out cold and the baby can barley talk. She tried to say the six-year old's name but I wasn't sure what she was trying to say."
'Lana was still unconscious?' I hope she didn't get hurt from that fight. Or in a fight here seeing how many heartless there are.' Lincoln thought.
"What about the baby?" He asked.
"She was fine. Like I said she seemed to no who the other girl was. If you want to see if they are your family they are at the hotel by now."
Lincoln instantly beamed at this. "Thanks Gramps! He said. He hurried out the door to go see his sisters.
When he walked out though he saw that the outside was still empty of people. He summoned his weapons to be on the safe side.
"They will come at you from nowhere." A voice said. Lincoln turned around to see a tall teenager. He had dark black hair, a red shirt, with a blue jacket over it, the collar was made of white fluff that went around his neck, a pair of jeans and a pair of shoes. Lincoln could see part of a symbol just above the shirt but couldn't make it out.
"Who are you?" Lincoln asked.
"And they will keep coming after you as long as you continue to wield the keyblade."
'So they are called keyblades.' Lincoln thought. He had wondered if that was what he voice meant but there was so much going on he never really bothered with the name of them.
"But why? Why would it choose a kid like you?" He continued ignoring Lincoln.
"Hey, what that's supposed to mean?!" Lincoln asked taking offense.
"Never mind. Now, lets see those keyblades." He said walking towards Lincoln.
"What?! There is no way your getting these!" Lincoln yelled getting in his attack position.
"All right. Have it your way." He said.
'I wonder what he will do? He doesn't even have a weapon.' Lincoln thought. So either he fought hand to hand or there is something else he doesn't know about him.
Suddenly the man spread his legs at now in a squatting position. He had one hand out flat and the other balled into a fist. To Lincoln the air felt like it was getting much cooler.
'What is he doing?' Lincoln though.
"Ice make: Swords!" He yelled. Suddenly he had two swords completely made out of ice!
"Dang it." Lincoln said.
"Lets see what your made of." The man said. He ran towards Lincoln quickly swinging both ice blades at the same time. Lincoln quickly raised his keyblades to them causing them to be in a stand off. The teenager however was obviously stronger though and quickly pushed Lincoln back. Lincoln was thrown over the stairs but was able to land on his feet after doing a back flip.
"Okay that was actually cool." Lincoln thought. He quickly rolled out of the way when the stranger tried to jump him. While the main force of the attack missed him the tip of one of the swords still hit him on the cheek.
"Hey watch the face!" He yelled. He quickly ran towards the man before doing a sliding dash. This took him by surprise if the look on his face didn't give it away. Lincoln made him just enough balance that he was able to hit the man in the gut knocking the wind out of him for a second. He noticed that there was no damage done to his clothes and he didn't see any cuts.
"Huh. So this is actually blunt to anything other than those creatures. That means I wont have to hold back." Lincoln said. He was honestly scared about what the keyblades would do to another person or something that wasn't one of those creatures. He was glad that as far as he could tell he wouldn't be able to actually to do too much harm to other people. Most likely just weaken them.
The stranger was back up one his feet still using the ice swords. "Good trick. I'd like to see you do that again." He smirked.
Lincoln didn't say anything and started the fight again. While not one to like fights like this he new this guy wasn't going to stop. He swung both keys in an uppercut the man dodging them by an inch. He then leaped forward and swung down hitting him and doing a front flip from the strength of the swings. The stranger responded by kicking Lincoln in the gut causing him to fly into a wall. But because of his small body and the kick not actually being that powerful he didn't make a crater or anything. He knocked a little dust off though. Lincoln could feel pain all over his back and gut. He quickly pulled out a potion and used. Careful to not use the powerful one not needing it.
'Resourceful. And can take a few hits. I may have been wrong about this kid. I still need to get him and the key out of here though.' The man thought.
Lincoln got up now only feeling a little numb. He still had both keys in his hands but now a tighter grip than before. Him and the stranger ran towards each other once again locking blades. While like this Lincoln realized something.
"Ummm...weren't you wearing a shirt just a minute ago?" Lincoln asked confused. It was true that the man's shirt and jacket just disappeared. Lincoln could see that the symbol was the same one Gramps had on his shirt. Only it was on him.
"Not again." The man said like it was a common occurrence. He used this to his advantage though doing a kick to a confused Lincoln at his legs. legs causing him to fall on his back. He did a back flip right before the man could do anything else.
'I need to finish this now.' The man though. He got rid of the ice swords and got into his position from earlier.
"What now?" Lincoln thought while he was to get his barrings straight from that last attack.
"Ice make: Lance!" He yelled. Suddenly multiply lances made of ice came towards Lincoln! He tried to out run them but they were too fast. Many of them just went around them since the attack is meant to take a wide area. Two of them hit Lincoln right in the gut. He felt the full blow of them. Another hit his legs making him very weak.
"That aught to do it." The man thought. He was surprised to see the boy still standing but he had a loose grip of the blades and was having trouble standing up.
"Is that -t-the best you c-can do?" He asked before passing out laying on his back. Both keyblades are still in his hand.
"Wow Gray. For a minute there I thought the kid was going to a challenge for you." A voice said. Gray turned around to see two familiar faces. One was a teenager his age. He had spiky pink hair, a white scarf with black lines, a sleeveless black vest with an orange outline, white pants tied up to his just below the knee, with a belt around the waist that also had a clothing over the pants that match the vest in color, and sandals.
The other was a little blue cat with a bag on his back that was tied around his neck making it look like he wears a bow. He also had a pair of wings but they aren't always there.
"Aye. I though he was actually going to beat you too." Oh yeah the cat talks as well.
"Where have you two been?" The man now known as Gray asked.
"Oh...we were just watching from the roof of Gramps store. I was going to fight him but I thought I'd watch and see how it turned out."
"I swear Nastsu you never change." Gray said. "Now come on. We need to get him out of the First District before more Heartless show up."
"Alright. Happy you go tell Lucy we found our other visitor." Nastsu said to the cat.
"Aye." He said before flying off.
"I hope I didn't go too hard on the kid. He actually put up more of a fight than I thought he would."
"He'll be fine. If anything we'll just give him some potions." Nastsu said picking up the white haired boy.
(Unknown place)
"I can't believe what happened to our home. I hope the rest of our friends and family are okay."
"I'm sure there fine Lynn. We can't be the only survivors." Clyde said trying to be optimistic. If not for himself and Lynn than at least for Lola. The poor girl has barley spoken since they arrived here in this new world. They still couldn't believe there are actually other worlds out there.
Lynn looked up at Clyde with a forced smile. "Thanks Clyde. I needed that. I still can't get over what happened though."
(Flash back to when they woke up on the world.)
Once Lynn, Lola, and Clyde had looked around they saw that there was no way out out of where they were. The floating platforms of ice were to far out of reach for even Lynn to jump to. They thought they were all trapped when they heard a voice.
"Well looks like you could use some help." A man's voice said. They turned around and saw something that took everything that had shocked them before now and blew it out of the water. Right there was a tall black figure. He wasn't wearing black clothing no, his body was just pure black and stretchable. He also a red beard, flaming eye brows, and hands that looked like claws. He also had what looked like antlers coming out of his head.
This had scared Lola enough to make he hide behind Lynn and Clyde, who were both scared but wanted to protect Lola. While Lynn just gave him a stern look Clyde just gave him a half confident half nervous look.
"Yeah were a little stuck." Lynn said trying to keep her cool. What's it to you?"
"Wow hey now. There is no reason to get hostile. I am here to help you."
"Who are you?" Clyde asked.
"My name is of no importance right now. Just now that I am your only way out of here." He said.
"Hold one a sec." Lynn said. She and Clyde turned around to talk privately. "Should we trust this guy?" Lynn whispered.
"Every thing in my body says no but what choice do we have?"
"He is scary but we need to get out of here." Lola said.
The figure was just floating there waiting for an answer. "You now I'm here still here right?"
The three looked at him before all nodding at each other. "Okay. We talked and could you please get us out of here."
"Why off course. I just need one thing in return.
"What is that?" Clyde asked.
"You'll find out later. I can explain in the castle."
'We don't really have a choice do we?' Lynn thought.
"Alright we will help." She said. Lynn and Lola looked uneasy but knew Lynn was only trying to get them out.
"Good. Now just a sec." The nest thing they knew the three were at the top of the place they were trapped in. They took a magical elevator to the castle and the figure told them what they needed to now. He told them about other worlds and what happened to theirs. Needless to say they were beyond sad but they couldn't do anything about it.
"So what is this favor you need of us?"
"I will tell you in time. For now go eat and go to your rooms. I'm sure you must be tired." He said.
(Present time)
"I still don't trust him guys." Lola said.
"Neither do I but he saved us. Maybe he can help us find everyone else." Clyde said.
"Well for now let's get some sleep. A lot as happened." Lynn said.
"Night guys." Lola said. 'Please be okay Lana.'
A/N
Well it is finally here. I now you were expecting Triplets but I thought to get this chapter out. I have been with school. I had a track meet yesterday and the week before was doing a play. So if you didn't notice the anime characters are FARIY TALE !
Also ThDorkMagnet is the one who came up with the lamp post falling because of Star scene.
And if you haven't guessed the villain isn't Maleficent. Can you guess who it is?
As for the other characters(Peanuts and Rugrats All Grown UP) they were ones that I wanted to have as worlds one of the first ones to come to my mind, mainly because the original idea for this story was supposed to be just Nickelodeon but decided to go bigger and yes I know Peanuts isn't Nickelodeon,but didn't now how else to have in the story. Sorry if the Rugrats seem out of character. It has been forever since I have seen it so I tried my best. I hope you like Lincoln's new look and the references to the actually game. Lana was going to get a new outfit two the original idea being both Lana and Lincoln would be in the store but not see each other. I scratched that idea and went with this instead.
