Chapter 36 Forest of Mystery 2

I don't own JoJo's Bizarre Adventure or Kingdom hearts

Giorno's group arrived at Strawberry's bakery and they got surprised that it's made of cakes and strawberries.

"Man, it's like that book about the two kids that go inside a house made of sweets."Mista said.

"Do you like it, I made it."She smiles.

"Well it's very sweet Strawberry."Xion chuckles.

They went inside and they saw the cakes on display were strawberry types and the stuff had some kind of strawberry theme.

"Wow, your really like strawberries."Mista said.

"Yeah, it's what I love to do."She said.

Giorno sits on a table with Xion and Mista as Strawberry goes to the kitchen as they wait, Giorno looks around and he could tell something is off about Strawberry like she's hidding something but not evil.

She comes back with drinks and serves them."Here you go."She then sits down with them.

"Oh hey thanks."Mista said.

Please don't notice theres four of us now. Xion thinks to herself.

She smiles at them and said:"So friends what brings you here?"

"We came to see what this forest had, theres three paths and we had to split up."Giorno said.

"Oh... The other two."She looks down."I think I know where they go to."

"Really, what's there?"Mista said.

"I'll have to think about it."She was nervous with a smile."But I have a gift."She takes out a present and gives it to Giorno.

"A little unfair."Mista frowns.

"I wonder what's inside."Xion got curious.

Giorno opens it and picks up a small rabbit like creature that was strawberry theme.

"That's a strawbunny."Strawberry smiles.

It moves surprising them and smiles at Giorno.

"Well it likes you."Xion said.

Giorno smiles a bit and pets the little Strawbunny making it happy.

"Well it's a nice gift Strawberry."He said.

"I'm happy that you like it."She said.

"Well we have to get ready to find the others."Mista said.

Strawberry frowns.

"Mista don't be rude."Xion said.

"What, we need to go."Mista said.

"You can't!"Strawberry said surprising them."I can't let you leave!"

"What?!"They said.

She then summons vines to grab them and she picks up a hammer, they dodge them and summoned they're keyblades.

Xion cuts them and Mista aims his gun at her.

"Stand back!"He said.

Giorno frowns but he saw Strawbunny point to a staircase."Wait."

"Gold Experience!"Giorno used his stand to punch the ground as roots came out grabbing Strawberry surprising her.

"I... can't control them."

"Thank you Giorno, now I can take care of her."Mista said.

"Wait!"Giorno said surprising them, he goes up the stairs and find a bedroom, he sees a diary and goes down.

"That's... My dairy."Strawberry said.

"Man Giorno I didn't think I would pick you for reading that."Mista said.

"Not that."Giorno reads that book and got surprised."She's been trapped here for a long time, she has been trying to help others that came here since the moment they leave they would die."

They gt surprised and Strawberry looks down, Xion reads it too."Your... Lonely?"

"A little, but i'm so sorry, I shouldn't have forced you, if you want to leave then you can go."She cries a bit.

Giorno goes up to her and puts a hand on her shoulder surprising, she saw his smile."It's not wrong feeling like you want someone in your life, we all felt that before, maybe you would want to come with us instead."

"Giorno!"The other two said.

She got surprised."Me... Leave, but how?"

Giorno raises his keyblade."If this can open any locks, then we can unlock the exit."

Xion smiles and Mista shrugs, they raised they're keyblades up and crossed them together, they made a blinding light and then a barrier that was around the bakery opened breaking the curse.

Strawberry was set free and goes out, she was amazed before tears of joy came out from her eyes looking at them."Thank you."

Giorno smiles."Not everyone deserves to be alone."

Strawberry then gasped."Wait! The other two roads, one of them has a demon!"

"Oh no!"They said.

With Bruno's group

They looked around the mansion from outside and Narancia sent Aerosmith to fly around.

"Okay, theres at least two people inside."Narancia said.

Fugo looks at the bigger trea and jumps towards it, he then looks inside a window and sees a room that was empty.

"Bucciarati, theres a room we can go in."Fugo said.

"Okay."Bruno used his stand to open a zipper for them to go in.

They went out and Fugo looks inside a different room in the hallway, he saw a little girl with purple hair and yellow eyes talking to a cat.

"Now I can teach you how to swap bodies, i'll just need that you'll feed the next girl her soul to me."The cat said.

"Okay."She frowns.

Fugo got shocked."Bucciarati!"

"I heard!"Bruno charges inside surprising them and punches the cat out of the window.

"What?!"She got surprised and Fugo takes her."Let me go!"

She tries to use her magic but Abbacchio used his keyblade to stop her.

"You... Can use magic too?"She was surprised.

"Ours doesn't involve deals."Abbacchio said.

"Why were you making deals with that cat?!"Fugo said.

"Because i'm sick."She said surprising them."I have a illness from my ancestors ever since birth, my father didn't care about me and my mother left me. The demon gave me magic in exchange for killing them."

Fugo got stunned."What's your name?"

"Ellen."

"Ellen, you shouldn't do that, I can understand having bad parents, I was raised by a rich family, they forced me to study all time, and after I attacked someone that betrayed my trust they kicked me out."He said surprising her."But there will always be someone that will care for who you are."

The others smiled and Ellen looks down.

They heard a roar and the cat came back looking more humanoid."You pests!"

They saw something on his chest and it was a heartless symbol.

"This thing is a heartless!"Narancia said.

"Of course."Abbacchio said.

They summoned they're keyblades and the cat said:"Keyblades!"

They attacked him making the monster claw at them but they were too fast and they slashed it.

The monster roars in pain before it explodes releasing hearts.

Fugo puts a hand towards Ellen making her surprised."Let's go."

She smiles at him and grabs his hand.

With Roxas group

They went inside the mansion and they sneaked around the place, they saw a woman that looked like a nurse going down the stairs and they went behind them to avoid her, Trish saw that she went away.

"Coast is clear."She said and they went inside a different room.

They looked around and Axel said:"Where could that girl be?"

"You want to save my daughter."They heard a woman's voice and looked back to see a spirit of a woman with long brown hair.

"Wait are you the mother?"Roxas asked and she nodded."Well we are here to help."

"I knew someone would try to save her, please save my daughter."She said and she points at a bookself."Theres a secret entrance there."

Axel goes towards it and opens it."It's here."

"Don't worry, we'll save her."Trish said and they went inside.

"Please do."She said before going away.

They went through the small passage.

"Who makes this crap?"Axel said.

"Don't ask me."Roxas said.

They found a small hole, Roxas looks inside and sees the little girl Aya who long black hair around 8 years old playing with a doll.

"Aya."Roxas said.

He then hears a sound making her look to the door and sees her father Alfred come in, he glares at the guy and he said:"Aya how about we go for a walk."

"Oh okay."she then reaches her hand to him.

"Aya don't touch his hand!"Roxas yelled.

They got surprised, Roxas jumps through the trap door and grabs Aya making her scream, Alfred got shocked and Axel knocks him back with him and Trish following Roxas.

"Help!"Aya yelled.

"Look, I'm sorry but you need to see something."Roxas said and they went to the basement, she tries to struggle but they reached his lab and she got shocked to see a woman that was a life size doll wearing a white dress.

"But that's woman that daddy was helping."Aya said.

"So that's his dirty secret."Axel said.

"He kills his patients to turn then into dolls."Trish got mad.

"What, b-but."she was scared.

"Ha ha ha."They saw Alfred at the door with Maria behind him."Well that's very impressive you managed to find my secret."

"It's not that hard, when you make your patients vanish."Roxas said.

"Really, I wanted Aya to be a bit older but now I'll make her into one of my dolls."he then takes out a chainsaw making Aya go behind Roxas."What dress whould I put you in Aya?"

But then he got punched in the face by Rise Against surprising."Uh?"

Maria blinks.

"HOORAH, HOORAH, HOORAH, HOORAH, HOORAH, HOORAH, HOORAH, HOORAH, HOORAH, HOORAH, HOORAH, HOORAH, HOORAH!"Rise Against punches him many times making the doctor grunt before he got sent through a wall.

Maria got stunned and saw Alfred lying there, the force was too much that it killed him.

"It's over."Roxas said.

Axel looks at Maria."Are you going to attack us?"

"What's the point, I stand no chance."She looks down.

"Well maybe you'll find someone that will take you."Axel said and they went out as Maria looks at them.

When they went out they saw many spirits with one being a young man with blonde hair."Thank you."They went away.

"What my daddy did was bad?"she asked.

"Yes."He kneels down in front of her."We all die anyway, no matter what but we just have to move on and instead of being crazy with the dead we should enjoy life at it's fullest, make new friends and be happy with them and the memories that they give us."

She looks at him and nodded."Where will I live?"

They think about it and Trish said:"She can stay with us."

The two guys got surprised.

"Are you nuts?!"Axel said.

"We can't leave her all alone."Trish said.

Roxas looks at Aya who was sad."Okay."

Aya smiles and hugs him."Thank you."

Later

The group went back to the ship and they went off to space.

Aya and Ellen looked outside a window and were amazed.

"Well this is going to be strange having two kids here."Mista said.

Giorno saw that Strawberry was cooking since she wanted to help so she's the chef which is good since they can't cook.

"Also who brought her?"Narancia points back and behind him was Maria.

"She followed us."Axel said.

"I will help you in any injury."She said.

"Well at least the crew is coming together as we go."Roxas said.
