Chapter 4: Hero Class

Hey everyone I want to thank you for all your support with the story. Throughout the story Roxas will have a various team of characters from Ever After High to battle Heartless alongside him, I already have one pick for a potential team member, so please send a review on which characters you would like to see fight Heartless.

News of Roxas defeating the Heartless had spread quickly throughout Ever After High and everyone wanted to know more about the school's newest hero.

As Roxas was walking through the halls of Ever After High students were watching Blondie's video from Book End as they stole glances at him.

"Wow there he is."

"He could do all those things, talk about amazing."

"I guess lots of people saw me." Roxas said walking to his locker when a random girl walks up and takes a picture of him before running off. "Why did she do that?"

"You've never had a fan before have you?" He looks to see Cerise standing next to him.

"Hey Cerise let me guess you saw it too?" He asks.

"Are you kidding you're all everyone is talking about. You gotta tell us where you learned to fight to like that." Cerise smiles.

"Wait us?" Roxas asks confused as Cerise leads him to Rumpelstiltskin's class where multiple Royals and Rebels were sitting at their desks.

"Hey Roxas!" Hunter said excitedly as Roxas and Cerise walk up to their seats. "We didn't know you were such a fighter."

"Where did you learn to fight like that?" Briar asks.

"Where did you learn Magic?" Cedar asks.

"Know any other kinds?" Kittie asks.

"Whoa there one at a time give the man some breathing room." Raven said calming them down.

Roxas looks around and sees the eagerness on everyone's faces. "Well I learned everything I know about fighting from my best friend Axel."

"Does he tutor?" Dexter asks.

Before Roxas could say what was a very sensitive subject the PA system turned on. "Attention will Roxas please report to Baba Yaga's office immediately."

"Baba Yaga what could she want with Roxas?" Maddie asks curiously.

"Well I guess I better find out." Roxas said getting up to go to her office.

When he arrives, he finds an old lady levitating in midair who's clothing bared a strong resemblance to a fortune teller. "Uh Baba Yaga?" Roxas asks entering the room.

The old lady turns around with a smile. Oh Roxas good to see you please come over. Now I'm sure you're curious as to why I summoned you." She asks.

"Am I in trouble?" Roxas asks causing her to chuckle.

"No Roxas you're not in trouble. Recently your latest skills have been brought to the attention of the school board and after much discussion we've decided to change a few classes in your schedule." Baba Yaga said handing Roxas a new class schedule.

"Magicology and Hero Training?" Roxas read aloud.

"After seeing you vanquish those monsters yesterday we think those classes will be perfect for you." She smiles.

"Thank you." Roxas said as Baba Yaga excuses him so he could get back to class.

"It's very rare that we allow a student to take both Royal and Rebel classes let's see how he does." Baba Yaga said watching Roxas through her crystal ball.


As Hero Training was about to start Roxas was introduced to his classmates: of course Daring was there along with Hunter and Dexter, there was also Sparrow Hood son of Robin Hood who had an unusual habit of emphasizing things on his guitar, and finally there was also Hopper Corakington II son of the Frog Prince who transforms into a frog whenever he gets tongue tied.

"Alright heroes line up!" Roxas looked to see a Gingerbread man in a track suit walks in front of them and all the heroes scramble to line up. "Today we are gonna practice rescuing Damsels in Distress from certain doom." He points to a stone tower with dummies dressed like Princesses at the top. "But be warned there are hidden dangers in
each of them."

Roxas looks at the tower when the sound of screaming gets his attention, he turns his head to see people in the stands cheering for the heroes mostly Daring.

"Don't worry usually when Daring is done they get quiet making it easier for the rest of us to do the training." Hunter whispers.

Alright Daring you're first." Coach Gingerbreadman said as Daring walked forward picking up a sword and shield. "And go!" He blows a whistle and Daring runs full speed to the tower.

As he reaches the tower a large troll with a wooden club comes out of the tower ready to stop Daring, as it swings its club Daring jumps out of the way smashing his shield into the troll causing it to crash down in defeat.

"Not bad but why didn't he use his sword?" Roxas asks.

"You really are new; these monsters are friendly who are here to help us get stronger we don't want to kill them." Hopper said as Daring enters the tower and a few minutes later he comes down with a dummy causing the crowd in the stands to cheer.

"And time! Good job Daring." Coach said.

"Shame it wasn't a real damsel." Daring said walking back to them.

"Alright who's next?" Coach looks at the list. "Roxas go ahead."

As Roxas steps forward to the tower nobody noticed a dark portal opening at the top.

"Alright just got to get in beat the monster guarding it and get the fake person. I can do that." Roxas said to himself as he faces three knights in shining armor.

"Wait a minute Roxas didn't grab a weapon." Dexter realized as all of them gasp.

As the three knights were about to attack 2 shadows appeared over them. Roxas looks up to see two Assault Rider Heartless glaring down at them from the top of the tower their lower bodies resembled a horse while the top part resembled a warrior.

"What are-"Hopper choked as he turns into a frog. "What kind of abominations are those things?!"

The Knights look at the Heartless before running away as fast as they could. 'I thought knights were supposed to be heroes.' Roxas thought as he ran back to the others.

As the Assault Riders jumped down from the tower they slowly made their way to the heroes.

"These things don't scare me." Daring said as he charges toward them.

"Daring wait!" Roxas yells but it was too late, Daring raises his sword attempting to skewer one of them, but with a swing of its lance Daring is knocked back.

As Daring scrambles to get his sword on them charges at full speed.

"Daring look out!" Dexter yells.

As Daring turns around the Heartless is about to stab Daring with his lance when Roxas runs with a black light forming around his hand blocks the attack.

Everyone stares in awe as the light disappears revealing a black weapon that resembled a key.

"What the fairy tale?" Sparrow said in shock as Dexter pulls out his Mirror Pad to record it.

"Daring are you ok?" Roxas asks as Daring snaps out of shock and nods. "Good." Roxas knocks the lance away and slams Oblivion into the Assault Rider's face causing it to instantly turn to shadows.

"Alright you let's settle this." Roxas' face turned serious as he slowly walked towards the last Assault Rider.

The Heartless readies its lance as it prepares to charge.

Roxas holds his Keyblade ready for it to make the first move.

It charges at full speed ready to thrust its lance into him.

"Strike Raid!" Roxas throws his keyblade like a boomerang which knocks it back towards the tower. As Oblivion comes back to Roxas he charges at full speed.

The Heartless slowly recovers before swinging its lance trying to end him, but Roxas dodges the attacks with ease as he ran up the tower giving him momentum before dropping down slamming his keyblade into the Heartless destroying it.

"These things are so annoying." Roxas sighed as he walked back to his classmates who had the look of shock on their faces. "Uh is everyone alright?" Roxas asks before they erupted into cheers and ran to him.

"Oh man dude that was awesome!" Sparrow said using his guitar for emphasis.

"And your weapon is the coolest!" Hunter said as Daring walks over to Roxas.

"Roxas you saved my life back there, I owe you one." Daring said holding out his fist.

"No problem Daring." Roxas said making a fist bump.

"Stick with me Roxas and we can become the greatest heroes that ever lived." Daring said wrapping his arm around Roxas's neck.

"Wow uh I don't know what to say." Roxas said unsure about the partnership.

Meanwhile in Baba Yaga's Office she had just watched the whole thing happen from her crystal ball.

"Very interesting more strange monsters appeared again, this time at the school and that weapon Roxas made appear is also peculiar. I've seen that somewhere before, but I can't put my finger on it." She said looking inside the ball to see Roxas holding his Keyblade while Hunter was telling everyone in the Cafeteria what happened.

"And then as the beast was about to strike Daring down Roxas comes in with his Key Sword and takes those things down easy peasy." Hunter said as everyone else was hanging onto every word.

"It's called a Keyblade Hunter." Roxas corrects him.

"Seriously Roxas between you magic powers and this thing are there any other secrets about you?" Raven asks.

"If I told you they wouldn't be secrets." Roxas said.

"Fair enough. How did you get this thing anyhow?" Cerise asks looking at Oblivion.

"Long story." Roxas said.

"Well I think we'd all love to hear it." Briar said.

Before Roxas could say anything, Headmaster Grimm enters the Cafeteria and walks right to Roxas. "Can I help you with something?" Roxas asks.

"Weapons are not allowed inside the school now hand it over." Grimm said holding out his hand shocking everyone.

"Hey that belongs to Roxas you can't take it away from him!" Raven said.

"Miss Queen I suggest you stay out of this unless you want to suffer the same punishment as your friend." Grimm said.

Roxas looks at Headmaster Grimm and then recalls an old trick Sora used on Jack Sparrow when he wanted the Keyblade. "Alright here you go." Roxas said handing Oblivion over to him shocking everyone.

Grimm smiles in victory. "Thank you for cooperating." He said walking away with it.

"Roxas why did you give it to him?" Apple asks when Roxas simply holds up his hand and the Keyblade vanishes out of the Headmaster's hands and appears in his.

"ROXAS!" They heard the Headmaster yell from down the hall.

"Talk to you later gotta run." Roxas takes his Keybalde and runs out the opposite door just as Headmaster Grimm runs after Roxas in an inevitable chase that in the end he would lose.
