Chapter 14: Thronecoming Part 3
Hey everyone I'm back and with the final part of Thronecoming, now I know the last chapter left you with lots of questions, but hopefully this will answer them. Also after many reviews from all my subscribers I am going to present you with the official and never changing harem for Roxas.
It will be Roxas: Namine, Poppy, Cerise, Maddie, Melody, Briar and Apple.
And for those of you are concerned don't worry I'm gonna make sure each girl has a good reason to fall for Roxas. Hope you all enjoy it. Please leave a review.
Roxas and Lea were staring down the Dark version of Sora who looked ready to tear them apart.
"Roxas no matter what he says you can't let him distract you that's what he wants." Lea said.
"Alright." Roxas nods.
"What's a matter you two? Scared?" Sora asks.
"Not a chance." Roxas said as he and Lea got their weapons ready.
"Go!" Lea yells as he and Roxas charge.
Sora readies his Keyblade as Lea slams his into it sending sparks flying. From above Roxas jumps off Axel like a spring board and comes at Sora from above.
Seeing no other option Sora rolls out of the way.
"He may not be Sora, but he sure is quick on his feet." Lea said.
"We gotta work together." Roxas said.
Lea grins liking the idea.
The dark Sora charges with darkness surrounding him, to counter Roxas and Lea lock blades with his and using his extra hand Axel creates a ball of fire and slams it into Sora
sending him flying back.
"Nice." Roxas smirks.
"Roxas Yen Sid said you can use this new skill Sora the real Sora uses it's where he is able to call on his friends to help him in battle it's called Drive Form. Try using it." Lea
said shocking him.
"What, but I don't know how to do that." Roxas said.
"Focus on a strong bond and try to draw energy from it." Lea said as Sora got up. "I'll hold him off."
Both of them charge and lock weapons.
Roxas closes his eyes and starts to concentrate. 'Okay to win I need to focus on the strongest bonds I've ever made. Think who?' Roxas pauses in thought and remembers
Axel who was always there for him and now as Lea he still has his back.
"Heat Drive!" Roxas yells as flames surrounded him turning his jacket the color of flames and Oblivion switches out of his hand and in it's place the Bond of Flame Keyblade appears.
Lea pushes Sora back to see Roxas' new form. "Way to go buddy."
Roxas steps towards Sora with both his Keyblades burning like Lea's old Chakrams.
"You really think beating me will make a difference Roxas, you're a Nobody and that's all people will ever see you as!" Sora said.
"Then I'll change the way they think." Roxas said before throwing his flaming keyblades smashing into Sora causing him to explode into a large eruption of flames until there
was nothing left transporting them both to the 8 books Raven and the girls went into.
As Roxas powers down to his original outfit Lea claps him on the back. "I knew you had it in you." He smiles.
"So, what's going on why are you here?" Roxas asks.
"Master Yen Sid found you and decided you would need someone to help you out during your training and keep you filled in on what's been going on." Lea said.
"Wait you mean we get to hang out again like old times?" Roxas asks with a smile on his face.
"Me? Oh no no I'm just here to escort her here, she's going to be staying here." Lea points ahead and Roxas is shocked to see a girl with blonde hair and a white dress.
"N-Namine?" Roxas said in shock.
"Hello Roxas." She smiled.
"Namine, but how? You should still be part of Kairi." Roxas asks.
"When Sora found out you left his body to get another chance Kairi thought Namine deserved a chance to exist. So, we went to Yen Sid about this and using his cool sorcery he was able to give Namine her life back." Lea said.
"And then he assigned me to come to this world to keep an eye on your progress and report back to him and Mickey. Lea is just here temporarily." Namine said.
"Sorry I gotta get back to helping Sora, Riku and Kairi deal with Xehanort and his goons." Lea shrugs as Cedar runs out.
"Whoo that was close." Cedar sighed in relief as Maddie appears out of her book. "Maddie are you okay?"
"Oh, yeah, but whew! I mean Cupid's job is not all just hearts and kisses." Maddie said as Blondie appears out of hers.
"Not my head!" She then looks around to see she was out. "Remind me not to go home with you on break." Blondie said as Maddie hugs her.
They all look to see Ashlynn and Cupid come out of there books, Ashlynn seemed particularly happy to have her nose.
"So that's what the slipper is like on the other foot." Cupid said before they noticed Roxas and Lea.
"Roxas you're back!" Maddie hugs him tightly.
"Yep and I'm better than ever." Roxas smiles when Raven and Briar reappear.
"Raven!" Maddie smiles.
"Briar, are you okay?" Raven asks.
"Oh, Raven I had no idea." Briar said coming from Evil Queen's story.
"Hey, wait a minute where's Apple?" Roxas asks getting their attention.
"Briar's is the only one left." Blondie said.
"If Apple went into my story and fell asleep she won't be able to find her page!" Briar said running towards the book to save Apple.
"Wow Roxas you have some good friends." Lea said.
"Uh Roxas who's this guy?" Raven asks.
"Who am I? Oh my name's Lea. Got it memorized?" Lea said doing his signature catchphrase.
"Uh sure." Raven said not sure what that was.
"Good you're a fast learner." Lea smiles.
"Lea has been my best friend for a long time." Roxas said.
"He's even wearing the same coat you used to wear." Cupid said.
"Oh well that's because Roxas and I were- "Roxas interrupts.
"Uh Lea I think I should finally tell them." Roxas said when Briar reappears back in the room holding Apple.
"Briar did it!" Ashlynn smiles.
As Apple opens her eyes she sees all her friends along with Lea and Namine. "You saved me?"
"Of course I did we're friends." Briar said.
"Forever After." Apple smiles as they all leave to meet Giles Grimm.
As Maddie hands him the pages they all glow and merge to create a wooden block with a spell written on it.
"That doesn't look like the Storybook of Legends." Raven said grabbing it.
"What is that?" Namine asks.
"Speech Return! Words you say, break this curse for our new day!" Raven recited but didn't see anything.
"Nothing happened." Briar said.
"Oh but it did, you returned the pages so you could break my curse!" Giles said.
"Whoa Giles you can talk and we can understand you." Roxas said.
"Yes, young Nobody and I thank you, all of you. It took extraordinary courage to face the challenges you faced. You are all credits to your stories." Giles said.
"So Giles if we weren't looking for the Storybook of Legends do you know what happened to it?" Apple asks.
"Yes it was stolen, by the Evil Queen." Giles said shocking Raven.
"My mother!" She gasped.
"Whoa big twist." Lea said.
Giles goes on to explain that the Evil Queen stole the Storybook of Legends hoping to expand on it. However, thanks to a spell they learned from Yen Sid Giles and Milton
stopped the Evil Queen.
"So why were you stuck down here?" Apple asks.
"You see a long time ago my brother went against one of the stories my father told us and it was never to go to the Ogre's cave, but Milton didn't listen and I ended up in
grave danger. From that day on Miltion never went against the stories. While I always respected our fairy tale past I also thought that each of us should be able to write our own destiny." Giles said.
"And the Headmaster didn't like it?" Cedar asks.
"No he cursed me with that babble spell." Giles said.
"But you're free now." Namine said.
"Yes, thanks to you all. Now come along we have a Thronecoming to get ready for. Oh and Roxas your friends can join us too." Giles said.
"So how do you feel about a party?" Roxas asks.
"I don't think I've ever been to one." Namine said.
"Well then let me show you both how to have fun." Lea said wrapping both his arms around them.
That night the three of them were sitting down at a table talking when the door opens to reveal all the girls in Ever After High in beautiful formal dresses.
"Wow compared to them we're way underdressed." Lea said gesturing to their outfits.
"You met lots of good people Roxas they seem to really trust you." Namine said.
"Yeah they do." Roxas said pausing to think.
Up on-stage Headmaster Milton Grimm walks forward. "Welcome everyone to Ever After High's Thronecoming Dance! The school tradition where we spellabrate our stories
and those who came before us."
As the music started up and everyone began dancing Roxas finally realized something. "I'm gonna tell them."
He stands up and walks towards Blondie. "Hey Blondie."
"Hey Roxas why aren't you dressed for this?" She asks.
"Wouldn't let me get a suit, but I wanted to ask you something. Do you still want to do that interview of my story?" Roxas asks as Blondie gasps.
"Yes, that sounds just right! Once Thronecoming is over we'll meet up for the biggest interview ever!" Blondie said excited before running off.
"Good job Roxas." Lea smiles as he sits down.
"I'm not gonna lie I don't know if this is the right thing." Roxas said.
"Roxas stop doubting yourself and just enjoy it here. Come on let's dance." Namine grabs his hand and takes him onto the dance floor.
Namine grabs both his hands and puts one in her hand and the other on her waist.
As the two of them move to the music Roxas strangely enjoyed the dancing and being back with Namine. When the song ends Namine heads back to her seat, but Roxas was
far from done he somehow ended up dancing with Maddie, Poppy, Cerise and Apple before he finally got a break. (I'm not very good at dancing so go easy on me)
"Whoa Roxas, who knew you were such a lady's man." Lea chuckles before Namine nudges him.
As they enjoyed the dance Giles Grimm walks over to them. "Hello Roxas, Lea, Namine."
"Giles." They all said acknowledging him.
"I can't thank you three enough and before your big interview I would like to have a word with you. Giles asks as he walked backstage walking in on a conversation between
Raven, Apple and Headmaster Grimm.
"I did what I had to do to protect our stories." Grimm said.
"Raven needs to make up her own mind. She doesn't need to be tricked into doing so." Apple said.
"We can be many things good an evil, happy and sad, Royal and Rebel." Giles said as he walked over.
"Giles? But that's impossible."
"Thanks to them I'm back brother and I forgive you." Giles said before they hugged.
"Hey who's up for blowing this place and getting some Sea Salt Ice Cream?" Roxas asks.
"Now that sounds like a party." Lea smiles.
"I could eat." Namine said as the three of them left the school just as they were about to declare Thronecoming King and Queen, but you know what Roxas didn't care he was
happy right now.
As the three of them left the school Briar looked up to the screen of images from previous years and noticed something off about one of the pictures.
"Madame Yaga." Briar said getting her attention.
"Yes dear." She asks.
"That looks like my dorm room, but who are those people?" Briar points.
"Why that's Little Red Riding Hood and the Evil Queen." Baba Yaga said causing Briar to gasp and run off.
"Cedar do you still have your Revealer Rays?" Briar asks as Cedar hands them to her. Walking over to Blondie, Briar takes one of her hairpins. "Not a keyblade, but it'll do."
Sneaking off to her room, Briar put on the Revealer Rays and noticed something hidden under her rug. Lifting it up she saw a hidden lock.
Using the hairpin she picks it and inside was a hidden compartment where the real Storybook of Legends lay.
"The Storybook of Legends." Briar gasps picking it up.
Looking at the book, Briar thought that if it was still around she would have to follow her destiny and sleep for 100 years, and at first she was fine with it, but she didn't want to say goodbye to all her friends. Fear engulfing her Briar did the only thing she could think of.
In the Enchanted Forest, Briar carried the book to a well. Holding the Storybook of Legends up Briar drops it down the well, but when she did a bright light engulfs it and the well disappears.
"Huh?" Briar looks around for any clue and what was going on before running off back to the party.
As she ran back she didn't notice Roxas, Lea and Namine on a hill nearby looking up at the stars.
"The icing on the cake." Lea said holding 2 sticks of Sea Salt Ice Cream up for them.
Smiling Roxas and Namine take them and lay in the grass enjoying the rest of the night and the taste of ice cream.
