Chapter 2: Keyblade Vs Nobility
(Louise room)
Sometime after Louise found her familiar she was frustrated and scolding her servant for running away. Sora stood their completely unfazed to the girl that was yelling at him compared to Maleficent, Louise was nothing even Donald losing his temper was just an everyday thing. But what made him mad was that she had a collar around his neck that was chained to the wall.
Now that the pink haired noble had him captive she and her servant began to chat about where he is from "Destiny Islands?" Louise looked at Sora in speculation, that's where he's from?
"Yeah that's where I from, it's really far from Halkeginia so far away." Sora knew he couldn't say that he was from another world even if she didn't believe him, but Louise just raised an eyebrow feeling like she was lied to.
"Well I have never heard of these 'Destiny Islands', they clearly must be made up you plebeian." She told
"Heh-Heh, w-well they are far out at sea so of course you haven't heard of them." Sora laugh nervously trying to put on a good character hopefully thinking she wouldn't get any more suspicious.
Louise didn't seem to care though she was too tired to carry on the conversation "Whatever." She started to take he clothes off one by one.
Sora then screamed. "Wh-wha what do you think your doing, why are you undressing!?" He shouted with his face turning bright red with his hands covering his eyes.
"What does it look like I'm going to bed, oh I need you to wash my uniform and grab me a new outfit tomorrow." Louise told Sora as she was still in her nightgown and panties. "Why are still covering your eyes?" She asked
"Because I'm not opening them untill I'm sure your wearing something!" Sora who was still feeling embarrassed replied back but Louise just looked dumbstruck he was just a familiar so why was he so embarrassed as she.
"There." Louise simply put on her sleepwear and told the boy in red that she was done. Sora took a small peak from his fingers and saw that she was telling the truth and she was. With that he let out a breath of relief as he watched his 'master' get to bed but not before she had some to say. "Listen I need a fresh change of clothes for tomorrow be sure you don't forget." She said in a tired voice as she immediately went to sleep.
"Hey hold on a minute?" He said but it was pointless she was already zoned out "Huh, and I thought I was a heavy sleeper." He joked about how he can sleep so easily guess everyone was wrong, he wasn't the only one, soon he started to feel tired as well and decided to sleep on the hay and a blanket that Louise had prepared he didn't care about what or where he was sleeping just as long as he was getting some rest.
But before he dozed off he that about how Kairi was crying, maybe out of joy or sadness but either way that image would be forever edged in his heart he pulled out his phone and looked at a picture of her, 'Kairi I will come back to you and then we can be together again I swear.' With that Sora put his phone in his pocket and started to slowly drift off to sleep.
(Destiny Islands-Sora's dream)
In Sora's dream he was sitting with Kairi on the tree where they finally shared a paopu fruit with Kairi, the two of them were holding hand and watching the sun set. They held each others hands tightly fearing that one of them would leave again, as sora turned to kairi he was that she disappeared from him, his face was stricken with shock which was him seeing darkness cover the land just as it did the first time.
Storm clouds rolled and lightning began to rain down. He began calling out to Kairi as he was running from the darkness it was creeping closer and closer, The keyblade's hero ran with all his might but was soon swallowed by the dark abyss. Sora was lying on the sand face down but with a quick sense of adrenaline the keyblade wielder quickly woke up and Sora's eyes shot open as he witnessed his home land destruction for the second time fear ran through him. But what made his blood run cold as he turned his back to see all his friends lying on the ground unresponsive, Sora rushed to Riku first shaking him desperately pleading him to wake up but their was no response, the key bearer then turned his focus to his traveling companions but Donald and Goofy were both not moving. Sora's eyes began to water as he shouted to everyone Roxas, Axel, Ven, Terra, Xion, everyone who Sora called out to didn't even move so much a finger this action had him to tears, crying for all his loved ones that weren't hearing his wails so sorrow and pain.
"Sora." Sora then turned around and saw Kairi who was just as scared as he was, without thinking for a second they both ran to each other at full speed, but as they kept running and running to one another the destruction of the Island became worse and worse.
Sora and Kairi were so close to each other nearly as they tried to reach one another's hands, a strong wind carried Kairi upward while the ground crumbled beneath Sora's feet causing him to fall. Both seemed to be out of each other reach.
"SORA!" Kairi screamed vanishing in the sky.
"KAIRI!" Sora called out disappearing beneath the earth. As they yelled out names every thing went black.
(Louise room- Morning)
"Kairi!" Sora shouted as he shot up from his make shift bed his face over in sweat and trying to slow his breathing looking round Louise room everything that happened wasn't real "So that...*Sigh* just a dream, a really bad dream." That was really the only was to sum up what happened as Sora started to calm down as he saw the sun rise remembering the Louise had school today.
He was getting tired of this collar around his neck, he summoned his kingdom key into his hand and he quickly turned the tip of the weapon to his neck. Immediately, the collar unlocked with a click before he watched it fall to the ground. He rubbed his neck a few times before dismissing his keyblade.
"Ahh, that better." He sigh out relief.
He got up and shook "Hey, Louise, time to get up. Hey wake Louise you have school today." Sora said to the sleeping pink haired girl who did move an inch, she really was a heavy sleeper like him. After a few more shakes she began to stir before opening her eyes to see the commoner familiar.
"Oh it's you, the familiar from yesterday." She said still tired.
"I told you my name is Sora not familiar, anyway here are your clothes remember." Sora.
Sora handed Louise her school uniform? As she was starting to walk up fully she noticed the collar that was on his neck was on the floor. She kept the key on her all night did he steal it from her. She lifted the pillow and saw the key was still there. There was no way he picked the lock either so how did he unlock it.
"What happened to the collar?" She asked.
"Uh, I don't know?" He feign ignorance. Louise began tapping her foot demanding a better answer than that. She reached down and examined it. The lock had to have been opened somehow maybe with magic but there's no way that's what happened especially considering the stature he has. A peasant wielding magic that's ridiculous.
She dropped the collar and scoffed as she began taking off her sleep wear, Sora covered her eyes.
"Whoa, hey! What are you doing!" Sora said.
"I'm waiting."
"Waiting for what?"
Louise crossed her arms "For you to dress me, what else."
Sora couldn't believe what she just said. She wants him to dress him. How could she ask him about that? "No way!"
"Why not? You're a familiar , it's your job to do what I say. Now dress me or I will see to it that you won't eat breakfast."
"Just put something on already, I'ma wait outside." He quickly walked out. Closing the door behind him.
She began to shake in anger as she lowered her arms, her bangs casting a shadow over her eyes, such disreputable behavior. After a few minutes. Louise finished dressing herself before glaring at Sora telling him that to follow her.
(Cafeteria)
Both Master and familiar were on their way to the dinning hall when Louise told Sora to stay outside as she was not considering giving his food to eat, but she did promises him that she would bring something for him to eat if he did not cause any trouble, as the keyblade wielder just nodded his head at the girl's order.
After some time passed Louise exited the dining room with a piece of bread in her hand to give to her familiar, the moment she walked out she saw Sora just sleep along the wall. She had a look of frustration mixed with annoyance, how can this boy just fall asleep without a care. Louise started yelling at the boy but with little to no avail her familiar just stayed as he was motionless.
Louise then snapped and hit her familiar on his head causing him to wake up from his nap "What what that for?!"
This got Sora upset, saying why would she do this but Louise just handed him a loaf of bread "That is all you are getting!" She shouted "It's your punishment for disobeying me!" She yelled at him for not following her orders when he should've.
"Louise I am a guy, you know. you can expect me do do some like that. " He said as she bushes it off.
"You a guy, you are my dog and that's that." She began to walk as Sora looked at her with tired eyes as he picked off a piece of and began walking with Louise.
"Hey, Louise, what's going on over there?" Sora said as he took a bite out of his bread.
"The second year students have today off to communicate with their familiars." Sora thought about it. That's really not a bad idea at all, it could be a good way to communicate with each other as well as a way to be friends during this pact they now share.
"Why, hello." Both master and familiar turned and who approached was both Kirche and Tabitha with their familiars
"Whoa what is that, so cool. And a dragon." The brunette said with a voice filled with excitement.
"I take it this is the first time you seen a salamander before, right." The fire mage said to the boy in red who was just nodding excitedly. "Well he's perfectly safe I guarantee you, My name is Kirche von Zerbsts and this is my friend Tabitha." Kirche Introduced herself and the other girl.
"And you already met Flame." She pointed at the Salamander.
"Kirche and Tabitha, nice to meet you. I'm Sora." He said, smiling brightly, the girls both questioning at the bizarre name what does 'Sora' even mean. Kirche then turned her attention to the pink haired girl.
"You know, I still find it impossible to believe that you summon this commoner to be you familiar. How do we know you didn't just pay someone to pretend to be one?" Kirche said while showing a grin.
"I performed the ritual like everyone else Zerbst. I don't know why this happened either!?" Louise said, pointing her finger at the red haired girl.
While the girls keep on arguing Kirche turned to Tabitha asking her what her opinion on this. But she remained silent. Not wanting to put up with this, Louise started to storm off; she then told Sora to follow her.
Sora was about to follow her as he tore off another piece of bread and raised it to his mouth. As he heard the dragon make a small purr, Sora hummed curiously as he waved the bread in front of the dragon, causing the creature's eyes to follow.
"Ya, hungry?" Sora asked. Interestingly enough, the dragon tore its eyes away from the bread before staring at him with its big green eyes, as if to ask if it was ok. Suddenly, it began to nod its head. Sora broke the bread in half and tossed the other half to the dragon who reached out and quickly devoured the other loaf.
"Kyu!" The dragon roared in delight.
"Glad you like it."Sora said as he turned to walk away. Finishing the rest of the morse
He was stopped as the dragon quickly darted in front of him, blocking his path. Its massive head moved closer to him before sniffing around his body. The dragon ignored him as it started to nuzzle his body.
Sora stood there as he began laughing "Hahaha. Stop it, it tickles." He giggled rubbing the dragon head. Sora looked at Tabitha "She have a name?"
"Sylphid." She replied.
"So Sylphid that's your name huh?" He said as he soon began scratching underneath the dragon's jaw The dragon nodded as it continued to purr.
The girls all watch the interaction between Louise's and Tabitha's familiar and it was kinda impressive to see this, a familiar interacting with another familiar having to connect to someone else familiar like that was impossible, but he was actually doing it.
But Louise quickly pulled herself together and grabbed Sora by the hood and yelled at him for doing something like that without her permission. Sora didn't know what she was getting so worked up.
Kirche and Tabitha stood in place but began to walk away, leaving both master and familiar "That was weird, don't cha' think Tabitha?" Kirche asked her blue-haired friend "I mean Sylphid doesn't like anyone who isn't you, but she was all over him, she even allowed her to feed him to. What kinda familiar did zero summon anyway?"
Tabitha didn't utter a word, only watched the keybearer being scolded with his hands behind his head. She didn't know what but their is something unique about him, something that makes him different. The fact that he was able to let Sylphid pet him was pretty impressive. But not only there was an air of mystery that surrounded the boy but that wasn't the only thing. Maybe her red-haired friend felt it too or not but there is a power within him something greater than any magic she encountered but what was it?
After Louise scolding she had ordered Sora to get some tea, as she was trying to find a way to punish her brown haired servant, as Sora kept walking he watched the mages and their familiars interact with one another some looked like ordinary house pets and other's look like something out of a book.
The one that startled Sora was a familiar that was jus a floating eye, this caused him to stumble backwards bumping into someone, a girl with short black hair and blue eyes it also looked like she was wearing of some kind of uniform.
"Oh man, I'm sorry about that."
"No it's my fault." Sora and the girl apologized to each other as they also tried to reach for the cake that fell on the ground. Sora and the young female reached their hands to pick up the desert but she pulled her hand away as their hands were touching. "Oh, I apologize." she said with a small tint of pink.
"No, I should have been looking where I was going." Sora replied back as they stood up they meet eye to eye seems like their mostly the same height.
Sora then placed the cake on the plate as he did the girl took a closer look at the boy who was wearing red and black. "So it's you, your the one contracted to lady Vallière right." The girl said as Sora took of his left gauntlet to show the runes
"Yeah that me, didn't think you knew me?" Sora answering the girl's before saying that's all that everyone been talking about a plebeian being a familiar. "Again with that word I don't even know what a plebeian is anyway?" Sora questioned
"You don't know, those who can wield magic are aristocrats and the people who can't use it are plebeian." The dark haired girl answered the question but Sora couldn't believe it, if you have magic you were royalty I mean he can use magic to but that didn't automatically make him a king.
"That sounds kinda stupid if you ask me, just because you have power that doesn't make you above everyone else." Sora said with sternness in his eyes and the female was shocked by his words.
"It's alright really actually it's not all that bad, my name is Siesta and I work as a maid here I'm a plebeian just as you are." The girl introduced herself.
The girl was introduced as Siesta. "Nice to meet you too Siesta, I'm Sora." He replied his name to the dark haired girl.
"Sora, you know that is a strange name?" Siesta raised an eyebrow when she heard the spiky haired boy introducing himself as well; she had never heard of a name like that before.
"Is my name really that weird here?" He wondered no one else asked about his name so why here in this world.
"Excuse us were is our cake?" one student said to the maid realizing she was getting off topic and forgot about working, Sora offered to help Siesta with her work the maid tried to decline but something about him genuinely wanted to help maybe it was his smile or the look of kindness in his eyes. As Sora and Siesta began working together, handing everybody's orders, having these two together made work easier.
(Guiche and Montmorency)
Meanwhile the couple were enjoying a nice talk with their familiars present the mole from the other day and hers was a small orange and black frog. "You know for the whole of last night I've been talking to my darling Verdante."
Montmorency deadpanned "You were talking to it... all night. Really?"
"Yes, I mean just look at him, this soft and supple fur, these beautifully gem like eye." He complimented the mole that's lying on his lap "I bless the founder to have this creature to become my familiar."
The blonde female just stared at him looking bored. "Could you have him stay underground while it's just the two of us?" Montmorency asked
Guiche chuckled softly "Very well then." The blonde playboy agreed to her request "But speaking of familiar's, your's is just like you are cute."
"Your flattery is all but charming." Montmorency smiled at his words.
"You know I would never lie to you my dear. My feelings are for you alone."
"Oh yeah. Well I've been hearing rumors about you've been dating a first year behind my back." Guiche flinched, how did she know that.
"Th-thats preposterous." He nervously replied "Their is no one else that I am- Huh!?" He screamed.
"What is it?" Montmorency asked.
Behind her was a girl with dark brown hair and eyes waving at him. Montmorency didn't know what he was screaming about or why he looked so afraid, without say he suddenly grabbed her hand and quickly left. This would be bad if the blonde haired girl saw her, really bad!
The brown haired girl saw Guiche running away with another girl. He promised to try some souffles that she made for him to eat. And who she was seeing another girl he told her that she was the one he loved she followed them.
As Sora finished handing the last tray of desserts, he felt someone bump into his shoulder. He turned to see who it was, it was that blond boy from the other day with a girl. From the look of his facial expression he looked like he was in a hurry, Sora then noticed a envelope that was still sealed just lying on the ground 'Did he drop this I should give this back.'
Sora started to look for the boy from the other day, When he heard the sound of an argument Sora turned to see the blonde haired boy being confronted my two girls it look like they were fighting over something.
"Tell me right now, no more lying Guiche!" Montmorency said with anger in her voice
"I swear Montmorency this is all a big misunderstanding." Guiche said, trying to make a defense.
"Lord Guiche, you told me that you would try my souffles with me?!" A girl with brown hair and eyes said looking sad.
"K-Katie, please hear what I have to say, I can explain." He tried to calm her down as she started to tear up
"Excuse me." Sora interrupted what looked like a fight.
"You, your that boy Louise the zero summon aren't you." Katie said with that comment Sora only rised his brow at that word 'zero'.
"What do you even want plebeian can't you see we are having an important discussion you only casting a shadow over us nobels."
Sora felt insulated from this comment before showing him the letter causing Guiche to stiffen, "You dropped this when you bumped into me, I was just giving it back to you."
Both girls gasped at the letter that was in Sora's hand, they both turned to Guiche one looking upset and the other looking angry. "Wait girls, please calm down! I swear I can explain this!" The blonde haired boy tried to quell the girls who saw the letter.
"So you not only are dating the two of us...!?"
"...Your seeing another one!"
"You two-timing jerk!" The two girlfriends shouted. After that Guiche received two strong slaps to the face, everyone who heard and watched this began to laugh at Guiche for making a fool of himself.
"Oh man. You had that one coming."
"Haha, oh man my sides."
The earth mage then moved his attention to Sora who's hand was on his mouth trying to hold back his laughter. "Well now, I see you don't know how to show respect to nobles. You have insulated me and two girls cried because you now for your transaction I challenge you to a duel."
"Hold on this isn't my fault, you were the one playing with their hearts, you did this to yourself!" Sora argued with Guiche both glaring at one another as if they are life long rival's or sworn enemies.
"Meet me at the vestry field if you have the courage to face me." From that declaration Guiche walked away. Sora continued to stare at him. He can feel that he needs to learn that it's not right to toy around with the feelings of someone, especially the person who you love.
Louise saw and heard everything that happened and she was not happy. "What do you think you're doing? Are you insane, Challenging without my order!" Louise said as she was quite distraught, pulling Sora's arm.
"Louise, where are we going?" Sora asked as she was still dragging him along.
"You are going to apologize to Guiche for how you were behaving, he might still forgive you." Sora couldn't believe what she said. He tried to put the blame for his own mistakes and she's taking someone else's side rather than taking his side.
"No." Sora told Louise as he stopped in his tracks "You want me to apologize for something I didn't do. He's the one who started this, someone has to teach him a lesson."
"What? Don't be stubborn, plebeians can't win against nobles, you'll be lucky to get a few broken bones." Louise said with the look of seriousness.
"I'm not being stubborn, I just can't stand by as he plays around with someone's feelings. Especially if it involves a person he likes." Sora said as he took back arm. "Excuse me, where's the vestry field?"
"It's just over there. "The chubby students from the other day pointed.
"Marlicorne!" Louise barked at the fat student with an owl on his shoulder.
Sora started to run along with the other students who wanted to watch the fight. The pink haired mage couldn't believe this "Oh you have got to be kidding me." Louise said as she was agitated he was supposed to be a familiar, a creature that follows every order their master says but he does whatever he wants, why?
(Principal's office)
"Are you absolutely sure about this Mr.Colbert?" Osmond said with doubt after Mr.Colbert witnessed the rune being branded on the boy's left hand, and what he found was something that should be impossible.
"It's true, after the rune on that boy I did an investigation on it. I mean a human being summoned is unheard and the markings on his hand are the same ones right here." The teacher showed the principal the book and one one page it had runes that exactly matched the ones he had on his left hand.
The headmaster gave a gasp of shock as his eyes slightly widened at the book that Colbert showed the principal. He then turned his attention to the secretary "Miss Loungville." The green haired woman simply nodded, understanding that this is a matter between the two of them, she left but not before having a quick glance at the book and what was on it.
"These runes only show itself upon the familiar of legends. If this is true then that would mean that the third daughter of the Vallière household...Is the last fragment of the pentagon." The principal said with a serious tone in his voice and an even more straightforward look in his eye.
Mr.Colbert could only be in a state of shock at the claim the principal made, If what he said was true then that would mean, "Mr.Colbert, what we discuss should remain between us for right now we tell no one." The bald instructor agreed this is a secret that they must not discuss with anyone only these two.
Meanwhile, behind the closed door of the headmaster's office, the door was slightly cracked open and the young green-haired woman heard what the two said "'The last fragment of the pentagon' huh?"
"Oh you heard right missy." She looked forward and saw a man in a pure black coat walk from a mysterious portal that had opened out of nowhere. She immediately put up her guard from the site of the individuals.
"Who-who are you!?" Miss Longueville questioned before the man in black continued speaking.
"Easy little miss thief, or do you prefer Fouquet?" He said in a playful tone which only startled the woman. How did he know that name!? She tried to pull out her want but the man alright had stopped her in her tracks as multiple arrow-like projectiles of red energy surrounded her and was dangerously close to her neck.
"What is-!" The green haired woman said in shock.
"Ah,-ah-ah think I'm here to harm you or rat you out to that old fart, as if." He snapped his fingers making the arrow disappear.
"How do you even know my name anyway?" She said still wary of him.
"Let's just say, I have friends in dark places and for right now that's all you need to ask." The mystery man said. "But enough about me, what about you, only working here because you want to restore your noble title, or are you just waiting your time so you can steal the staff of destruction, right Matilda?"
Now that really got her he even knew her real name as well "How do you-?" Just who is this man and how does he know so much about her.
"Well forget it, just come with me." The man said playfully "I'm not gonna attack you. But if you want your suspicions confirmed then you're going to have to watch this." He moved his finger telling her to follow him.
"Wait. You think I'm going to just follow you without knowing your agenda? How do I know you won't attack me?"
"As if, what benefits would I have if I did. Besides you need or rather you'll need what I have to offer you." The man told her which made her question him with doubt, what does he mean has something to offer, knowing she probably won't get any answers from him she decides to follow him as she still had her defenses high.
(Vestry field)
Over at vestry field all the students came after they heard that a fight between a plebeian and a nobleman of course they all knew who would win. Kirche and Tabitha were there to watch as well, mostly Kirche, Tabitha was just more enveloped in her book than "This Sora character quite intrigues me." Kirche said. "I never met a plebeian who willingly challenged a noble.
Siesta heard as well that Sora was challenging Guiche in combat; she could only pray for his safety. Although the students are all excited to see this fight between a noble and a plebeian.
"Oh man this should be good!"
"I feel sorry for Louise."
"You're not mistaken. But that's what happens when you summon a plebeian for a familiar."
In the center Both Sora and Guiche stared at each other, "You know I must say you have courage for not running away, I respect that." Guiche said with a prideful smile.
"I don't run from people like you, and besides, someone has to teach you a lesson." Sora said with a smile of his own, but before the duel could start Louise intervened.
"Guiche, you know that duels are prohibited at school, so stop this right now!" Louise reminded him.
"If it's between two nobles that is, he is just a plebeian and a familiar to add on to that. So really there are no rules being broken" Guiche corrected.
"I know you're right but..." Louise still looked worried, not wanting Sora to be hurt.
The blond earth mage saw her expression before guessing "Well now Louise, you wouldn't happen to develop feelings for this boy have you?" The pretty boy asked with a smirk.
"What are you talking about!? What master would just be on stand by while her familiar is about to be ripped apart!" Louise clarified with a small blush on her face.
Although Sora face deadpanned at what Louise said. "She's that doubtful of me?"
(Play -"Scherzo di Notte")
"Well whatever happens this duel begins." Guiche said as he waved his rose wand one of the petals feel to the ground and when it did a suite of armor arose from land.
"What is that?" Sora questioned as he was feeling like he was fighting Demxy with his water clones all over again.
"This is my Valkyrie. You see, my codename is Guiche the Bronze, so a golem is your enemy of course. And since I'm also feeling generous, I'll even give you a handicap." He used his magic and summoned a sword that was planted in the dirt. The blonde male then gave the spiky brunette two options: kneel and apologize or choose to fight.
Louise ran to his side saying that he should step down if he does this then Guiche will not go easy on him not at all. Sora wasn't going to back down so he said this to him "Bring it on." He accepted his challenge.
"You Idiot!" Louise yelled as the Valkyrie made a quick dash, Siesta quickly turned her head, Kirche just yawned and all the students just watched as this fight was soon to be over however the sound of armor clanking to the ground the Valkyrie was destroyed in one quick slash. The entire group was shocked to see this but not so much as Louise.
'That's the same key from my dream.' Louise remembered her dream from the previous night when they were preparing for their summoning ritual.
Everyone began to comment that he's supposed to be a peasant, and he conjured a key looking sword out of his hands.
"What is that?"
"Some kind of key?"
"How did he do that, is he a noble?"
"Tabitha are you seeing this!" Kirche said as her friend saw that key in his hand. "How did he do that, and what is that supposed to be?" Tabitha examined the key like a weapon in his hand, she could feel a power emanating from it, something that she had never seen before.
"What the- What is that!?" Guiche said, startled by the weapon in his hand.
"It's a keyblade. And it's what I'll use to win!" He declared getting into his sword stance.
Guiche regained his focus and summoned two more Valkyries, no matter what this 'keyblade' is, it's no match for him and his magic.
The Valkyries rushed at Sora with great speed however the child of light quickly did a reversal and jumped into the air he stretched his kingdom key upward "Thunder." Sora casted his Thundara spell and arc's of lightning came crashing down on the Valkyries causing them to be paralyzed and break apart.
Everyone was even more speechless with questions out loud. "Lightning?! He can use lightning magic?!"
"Did Louise really summon him, I mean he has to be a noble?"
"There is no way he's a plebeian."
"Maybe Zero paid him to pretend to be her familiar."
Everyone continued throwing around guesses as Louise was even more shell shocked, she thought of him as a plebeian with abnormal hair but really he can use magic. Kirche, Tabitha, and Siesta were also spellbound. First this keyblade now can use magic, just what is he?
Guiche had a frightened expression on his face "He-he can use magic as well?!" First this sword now magic just what did Louise summon.
"What. That's all you got." Sora sassed Which made Guiche angry he brought out more Valkyries for him to battle "Heh, relying on numbers won't work." He said as he began slashing each one of the hollow pieces of armor one was on top of him but with a quick block he executed a counter slash but then another dash at him as he used reflect to block the incoming attack as the barrier soon exploded destroying the one that tried to attack him.
Sora continued his onslaught at the walking pieces of armor launching one upward and performing a flipping slash, however he failed to notice that there was one behind him ready to deal a serious blow. Siesta quickly caught wind of this and shouted at him "Sora, behind you!" she said as he turned his back.
'No time to dodge!' Sora noticed the sword that Guide made appear without time to think or act as the Valkyrie came at him he quickly cut right though it with the sword the was in the dirt that was now in Sora's hand. "Alright then let's finish this!" He declared entering his dual wielding stance with his keyblade over his shoulder and the sword over the right side of his body (from his Valor form stance in KH2) however underneath his gauntlet the runes that were engraved on his hand were glowing brightly.
The keyblade wielder pulled back his gauntlet and noticed that the runes on his hand were glowing a light blue color, in addition there was this weird feeling surrounding him like he was light as a feather. He quickly ran towards the suite of armor with swift speed as he destroyed three more. Sora pointed his keyblade at one and shot a large fireball, then cutting down another one with an upper spinning slash.
Guiche couldn't believe it, he was losing to a so-called plebeian, he was making mince meat of his creations like they were nothing as Sora did a dash switching hands bringing his sword upward in a crescent motion he started striking at the Valkyrie in mid-air as he brought both his weapons together and did a heavy downward strike. The young playboy had no more Valkyries they were all my nothing but piles of junk as he was in a daze he didn't notice that Sora had disappeared, suddenly he was knocked off his feet and onto the ground he looked up and saw Sora with his keyblade aimed right at his neck. Guiche was paralyzed he couldn't do anything, and realized he lost this duel; he could only say these two words: "I surrender."
(Stop Playing -"Scherzo di Notte")
The crowd of people could only scream from the excitement that happened, a human familiar defeating a nobleman in battle was spectacular to say the least, Kirche had a look of passion in her eyes to see this boy defeating a noble in battle was something that was breathtaking.
Tabitha looked with total interest at the spell he used, that was at least a square class wind mage technique. She was right, this 'Sora' was more than what he seemed to be.
Siesta was astonished with the battle as well to learn that Sora was a noble and he had treated her as an equal. She blushed thinking that he was the nobles from the stories that she read, one that was gentle and kind to his servants.
Louise was the most confused out of everyone here, her familiar is able to summon a key-like weapon in his hand and is able to cast magic too. "How did you do that?" She asked as his keyblade vanished and plunged the sword into the earth the runes on his hand stopped.
"I'll tell you later. But first." He turned his attention to the blonde male who was still sitting on the grass.
"I can't believe I lost. A noble like me losing to a plebeian." Guiche said looking down at the dirt Sora came up to him with his right hand reach out.
"You alright?" Sora said Guiche was surprised at this he thought that he would just make fun of him but he looked like he was worried about him.
"Um y-yes." Guiche took his hand and Sora helped him get up. "If your here to gloat about you victory just do so." Guiche said still felling sore about losing.
"Who said I bragging? I said I would teach you a lesson and I did. Really you shouldn't be going around playing with the feeling of the person you love, I can tell you love the girl with the ribbon just go talk to her and let your heart speak. I'm sure she'll forgive you as long as you want to make this right." The brunette said with honesty in his eyes and a smile like he means what he says Guice didn't know what to think, he thought that he would brag but instead he was being nice to him despite the fact that they fought.
"You think she'll forgive me?" Guiche question.
"Do you want her forgiveness, just try not to do it again." Although in Sora's mind he felt like he was the type to flirt with any girl that walks by but hey one could hope.
"I see, well thank you and I apologize it was unsightly of a noble like me to behave the way I did." Guiche apologized.
"It's alright, I hope this means we can be friends." Sora said, brushing off Guiche's attitude from earlier with his hand out, then the earth mage look at him and he responded by shaking his hand and they were both smiling at each other.
"I would like that." Guiche smiled as Sora smiled back as the two now became friends. Everyone else was just baffled at this. These boys fought and all of a sudden they became friends but for some reason they couldn't help but smile at this.
Meanwhile, the secretary and the man in black watched the whole fight from the window. The green-haired woman couldn't believe it with out seeing it, Those markings engraved on his hand, they were truly that of the legends but that's not the only thing that surprised her the fact that he could summon a key the same way this stranger did and he could use magic too. "Amazing." That was all she could say.
"I know right." The man said to her "That player didn't stand a chance."
"For a noble to be contacted as that familiar is unbelievable." She said as the guy in black corrected her.
"Oh the kid's not one of you." She asked what does he mean "We to be blunt he was never a noble to begin with but..." The stranger snapped his fingers producing a small flame "He and others like me can do this."
"Others? What do you mean others?" What did he mean by that?
"You can call us plebeians, but unlike your garden variety of normal people. We can use magic.
"How?" This sparked her curiosity.
"Well for the kid it because of that weapon, it, call a keyblade. To make a long story short it grants special individuals the power to wield magic among a few other ability that come with it."
She never heard of a keyblade or plebeians who wields magic. Miss Longueville wondered where they came from and how are they were obtain. "Unbelievable."
"Oh and before I forget it, these things aren't so good easy to get. They have a certain link to the people who are able to use them, so don't even think about stealing one."
"What makes you think I was?"
"Lady. You got that look in your eyes. It obvious." He plainly replied
"So what is it you want?" She said
"It's not about what I want, it's about what I can offer." He told her as she raised her brow "What if I told you I can give you power. Power that will help you get that staff thingy you want so badly..." Her face genuinely puzzled he can give her power, but instead of telling her he rather show her what he means. The black hooded figure snapped his fingers and summoned creatures unlike the which she has never seen.
"What are these?" She asked mildly surprised.
The man in black explained "They're calling heartless. They are creatures of darkness that lives in the hearts of men. You see, when a person gives in to their most dark desires, they lose their hearts and what you see before you, monsters void of their hearts, no feeling, no emotions."
"Heartless?" She looked at the monsters for a short while as they vanished from sight. She never heard of keyblades or heartless either, are they something from a foreign country uses or are they something more but getting back to the subject, she was more curious than ever, especially with this so-called 'power' he promised.
"That's right, and guess what, their yours." He said.
"Your just gonna give them to me?"
"Don't worry it's not like I run out, along as their is darkness in hearts. I can always make more so you don't have you worry about running out besides they can benefit you as well" He replied.
"How can they benefit me?" She wondered.
"For one: you can get the staff of destruction with their assistance." He bluntly told her as she thought about it for a second, they can help her achieve her goal as she was considering his offer she had to ask one thing.
"...If I accept your heartless. What's in it for you?" She was still suspicious of this man who gives something powerful and does not ask for anything in return.
The man in black smiled underneath his hood "Your right, I do have something in mind. And it's to see this world fall into darkness, that all nothing more if less."
"That's it?
"That's it." The keyblade master said in a sly voice extending his left hand "So. We got ourselves a deal." The woman looked at her left hand reluctantly. She wondered if she can really trust him though he is so vague, just showing up out of nowhere and offering him something so unknown. However she thought about it, he doesn't seem to be lying but he might still have ulterior motives. But if she could get the items she seeks, then she would be the most powerful and feared mage to ever exist. Choosing her own desires more then being wary she shook hands with this man.
"Alright. But at least tell me your name?" She asked. Now that they made a pack she should know what to call him.
"Ah your right, I suppose Xigbar will do, for now anyway."
"For now?
"My real name is on a need-to-know basis. Besides I like Xigbar."
She wondered if that is his real name or an alias. But no matter soon, the staff of destruction will be her's with aid from her new partner, no one will ever be able to stop her.
(Louise room-night)
Currently inside of Louise 's room she was sitting on her bed with her arms and legs crossed as she was looking at her familiar, who was sitting in a criss-cross position. She had so many questions in her head about how he was able to do any of that, first summoning a strange looking key and using it as a weapon, also being able to use magic despite him being a plebeian, none of this should be possible.
"So...What do you want to know?" Sora asked
"Everything! Just how are you able to do that!? As you master I have a right know what my familiar is capable of." She said with the sound of authority and her voice.
Sora was put in a difficult position what was he supposed to say... as the word, 'order' popped into his head he looked at Louise before giving a sigh of defeat. She wanted answers so the young keyblade wielder is gonna give them to her "Alright but it's kinda complicated."
"What do you mean?" She said, still maintaining a calm tone in her voice.
"For one: I'll tell you but you're gonna have to keep an open mind. And second you can't tell anyone what I'm about to tell you." He said, being serious as Louise raised her eyebrow, what kinda secret is so important to him that he doesn't want anyone else to know about it? Sora took a deep breath as he started to tell Louise secrets that she was never aware of.
(5 minutes later)
As Sora finished explaining this to the girl on the bed she immediately denied all of what he said "...So, you're telling me that you are from a world where there are no aristocrats and that there are other worlds that exist outside of Halkeginia. And no one else is supposed to know about this because it's a violation of the world order." She said with doubt in her voice as nodded "What do you think I am, an idiot. There is no way you're telling me the truth."
Sora chuckle rubbing the back of his head "You do have a good point I mean, who would believe it. But everything I told you is the true I'm not really from Halkeginia." He said to the girl who was still doubtful.
"Prove to me your telling me the truth." Louise demanded he show her evidence, he did what he said and pulled his phone from his pocket; Louise eyes were on the stranger device as he handed it to her. The mage examined it wondering what it's for she shook the phone in her hands trying to figure out how it works. Sora laughed slightly at her, as her pride took over "What are you laughing at!" She threw the guardian of light phone as did a dive catching it.
Sora sighs in relief "Careful, my friends made this for me!"
"Well you shouldn't laugh at me!" She defended herself.
Sora corrected with a smile "I wasn't laughing at you, why was laughing because you reminded me of myself when I got it. It took some time to figure out how it works, but I can show you."
"Do it then, I ordered you to show me how it works." She command
"Okay." He replied as he sat next to his 'master' on the bed "Alright. So here's how it works." He said as he tapped the screen turning on the device his eyes lit up with amusement. How did he do that, is it magic. Did he use magic to make it work?
"Is it magic?" She said with her voice, dazzled.
"No it's not magic. Now here's how it works..." Sora replied back as he started to teach her and show her.
(15 minutes later)
Sora was sleeping on his straw bed as Louise was still wide awake from read the journal on his 'phone'. She's never seen anything like that in her whole life, but after Sora taught her how to make it function; she was lost in a trance when she she saw all the content of it although she could read it, he had to read it all to her since it was in a writing she never seen before . The fact is he was telling the truth that he was from another world was just unreal. Yet at the same time it was surreal: a world where no aristocrats exist and that there are ordinary people who are able to use magic is still unbelievable, it made her think about how small the world is now compared to what she knew now.
Louise turned over looking at Sora now. She thought how she believed he was only a plebeian, but in reality he would travel from world to world saving lives and defeating powerful adversaries with him and his friends. Part of her felt jealous for the fact that plebeians can use magic when all her life she couldn't. She felt so inferior as she looked at him with sorrow on her face.
However the second she turned over and began to fall asleep, Sora had a single tear run down his face. He was dreaming about one thing, or rather one person that was most close to his heart. The one girl he sacrificed himself for, the girl he'd loved for years.
"Kairi..."
End.
