Chapter 90: Forest of Fate 2
Hey everyone I'm back with a new chapter. Now this took me awhile to figure out but I think you'll like what I have planned I even have a special surprise in this chapter. Also please check out my friend WinxStarDracoFire's story Roxas and Blondie's Adventure Blog, it's linked to my story and gives a detailed description of the plot, characters, and weapons. Please Review and Enjoy.
After leaving Swan Lake, everyone on the Tempest was impressed with how Duchess handled herself on her first mission, plus after seeing a different perspective of her story Duchess had a brand-new feeling towards finding her destiny and she was even happier to officially have her own Digimon.
Sitting down and relaxing Duchess looks to see Ashlynn walking over to her.
"Here you go." Ashlynn said handing her a Sea Salt Ice Cream.
"Oh uh thanks." Duchess said taking it. "So you guys always eat these?"
"Yep it's our tradition." Ashlynn said.
Looking at it, Duchess takes a bite and smiles at the taste. "Hmm it's good."
"And with that we officially have a new Forever After Fighter." Sora announces causing everyone to cheer.
As everyone sat around talking and celebrating Amora walks over to Roxas.
"Funny I don't remember everyone acting like this when I joined the team." Amora said.
"Well to be fair the situation was different with you." Roxas said.
"Still it's nice to see our little army growing in size. Lucky for her you had an extra Digivice on you." Amora said.
"Actually, I had two extra Digivices on me." Roxas said reaching into his pocket to pull out the last Digivice. "I think one more person is supposed to join our team."
"Interesting, well you and Thor have proven to be good friends maybe its him." Amora said.
"I don't know, Thor is good but he's too busy back at Asgard." Roxas said.
"Well whoever that Digivice belongs to, I hope they prove to be quite the fighter." Amora said intrigued.
"Well even if they aren't, we have a pretty good teacher who can help them." Roxas smiles.
"Once again, you are correct." Amora said kissing him on the lips before walking away.
"Dang Roxas your skills with the ladies is impressive." Lea said walking over. "What's your secret?"
"Well it's only with the girls that make up my heart. I still have to figure out who the other 4 pieces are." Roxas said.
"13 Girls for Organization number 13, ironic isn't it?" Lea smirks as Roxas rolls his eyes.
"Hey Lea, you ever think of getting a different outfit than your Organization Coat, you and La really shouldn't be wearing those." Roxas said changing the topic.
"Hmm guess you have a point, but I'm not sure the coat comes in handy in case I need to go on a solo mission." Lea said looking at his Organization coat.
"Just go to Lizzie and Ashlynn, they can make you something." Roxas suggests.
"Will do." Lea said before walking away.
As everyone was having a blast Raven was in the weapons room talking to her mom.
"So we got another mission done mom, Duchess and Ashlynn seemed to have patched things up." Raven said.
"Wow who knew dangerous missions could help bring people together." Evil Queen said.
"Yeah though I'm a little worried besides Impmon I haven't really gotten much better. I need to up my game or the bad guys might get ahead of us." Raven said.
"Well Raven have you ever thought of adding a weapon to your talents? There must be something you can use." Evil Queen suggests.
"I don't know." Raven looks around the Tempest room when her eyes stop on Riku's broken Way to Dawn keyblade.
Reaching out she grabs the handle and remembers using a keyblade when she and Roxas switched skills back in Pixie Hollow. It was the only time she ever used something other then her magical powers.
"Hmm. Hey Mom, how do you feel about working with me on a project when I get home?" Raven asks causing her to smile.
"Raven sweetie, that sounds hexcellent. What are we making, and do we have the right materials?" Evil Queen asks.
"I got a general idea." Raven said putting Way to Dawn back on the shelf.
At the controls of the Tempest, Roxas was looking at the World Map when Sparrow walked over.
"Hey Roxas, what'cha looking at?" Sparrow asks.
"Just trying to figure out the best way back to Ever After High." Roxas said when Sparrow notices they were on route to pass by the Forest of Fate and instantly his eyes widen at the memory of Merida.
"So uh any time to I don't know make a pit stop anywhere?" Sparrow asks.
"Well I guess we have some time before we need to go back to school, where do you want to do? Check out how the mansion is coming along in Twilight Town?" Roxas asks.
"Actually…do you think we can stop at the Forest of Fate?" Sparrow asks putting his hands together.
"Forest of Fate? Why would you want to go there?" Roxas asks when he remembered it was the same world where Cerise and Ramona revealed their family secret and he first saw the Whisps.
"Ooh Forest of Fate, now that was quite an adventure." The female narrator said.
"Indeed it was where Cerise Hood and Ramona Badwolf finally revealed their family secret." The male narrator said.
"Not to mention where Cerise declared her love for Roxas." Brooke giggles.
"Please Roxas. Maybe if we go we'll figure out who the last member of our team is." Sparrow begged trying to convince him.
"Oh alright." Roxas said setting a course for Forest of Fate. "Hey guys we're taking a small break before heading home!"
This got everyone's attention.
"Where we heading?" Xion asks.
"We're going to the Forest of Fate." Roxas said getting Cerise's attention. Looking at the map she blushes as she remembers that was where she declared her love for Roxas.
"Forest of Fate, that's an interesting name. Have you all been here before?" Amora asks.
"Yeah it was just before Summer Vacation where you and Xion joined the team." Apple said.
"Hey didn't you have a crush on that Princess from that visit?" Daring smirks.
"Uh well…" Sparrow chuckles nervously.
"Sparrow interested in a girl? What's her name?" Sora chuckles.
"Her name's Merida and when we got there, she and her mom were having some…disagreements." Ramona said.
"To the point she turned her mom into a bear." Blondie said.
"Why would you do that to your own family?" Goofy asks.
"We asked the same thing." Lizzie said.
"Luckily we were able to help them fix the problem." Namine said.
Arriving at Forest of Fate, Sparrow was the first to run out of the Tempest with Roxas, Blondie, Xion, Cerise, Amora, Ramona, Bunny, Lea and Alistair right behind him.
"Sparrow slow down. This world isn't going anywhere." Roxas chuckles.
"Been awhile since we've been here, almost half a year." Bunny said.
As Alistair walks behind them he notices a Whisp in the woods. Rubbing his eyes, he looks back only to see it was gone. "Huh?"
"Hey Alistair, this way to the castle." Lea said.
"I'm coming." Alistair said running after them.
Walking up the hill they saw Castle Dunbronch in the distance.
"So any dangers about this place I should be aware of?" Amora asks.
"Yeah watch out for the food." Cerise said as all of them cringe at the memory while Xion, Amora and Lea look at them confused.
"What's so bad about it?" Lea asks.
"If they offer you something called Haggis, say no." Blondie said when suddenly they heard the sound of hooves racing towards them.
"We got company." Roxas said as he summoned Strength of 10 Men, Lea summons Flame Liberator, Xion summons Frog Charm, Alistair summons Lady Luck, Sparrow readies his guitar and Cerise, Ramona, Bunny and Amora take fighting stances when from the trees Merida bursts out on her horse Angus and races past them causing time to slow down as Sparrow and Merida make eye contact.
"Merida?" Sparrow said as Merida tells Angus to stop.
"You guys?" Merida said surprised. "What are you doing here?"
"Well we decided to stop by and see how things are going." Roxas shrugs.
"It's great to see you all again." Merida said jumping off Angus.
"What have you been up to?" Cerise asks.
"Oh you know, shooting arrows, learning to be a princess, but luckily since me and mom have gotten along the lessons aren't so bad anymore." Merida said.
"Glad to hear things are better between you two." Alistair said.
"Especially after the last time we were here." Ramona smirks.
"Yeah lot has happened since you guys took down Mor'Du. Why don't you come back with me? Everyone will be more than happy to see you all again." Merida offers.
"That sounds just right." Blondie said as they made their way to the castle when from the woods a Dusk nobody peeked its head out to see the Forever After Fighters before shifting back into the Forest.
As they walked down the path Cerise looks to Roxas and smiles as she reaches out and took his hand. Looking over he saw the smile on her face making him feel at ease.
Arriving at Castle Dunbronch, the Forever After Fighters were met with quite the reception.
"Oh its so good to see you all again!" Fergus said pulling each of them into a bone-crushing hug.
"It's great to see you too your majesty." Roxas groans in pain
"You kids don't have to be so formal, just call me Fergus." He smiles putting Roxas down. "So, boys I bet I know why you're here. You want to get fitted for your kilt size."
"No!" Roxas, Sparrow and Alistair said at the same time.
"What's a kilt?" Xion asks.
"It's basically a skirt for guys." Cerise said causing Xion and Amora to giggle.
"Guys wear skirts here, that's just wrong." Lea cringes when Queen Elinor walks over.
"It's so great to see you again." She smiles.
"Still haven't found your crown?" Ramona asks looking to see she wasn't wearing it anymore.
"No, I've decided to stop looking for it, I don't really need a crown." Elinor said brushing it off.
"So who are you three?" Merida asks looking at Xion, Amora and Lea.
"These are Amora, Xion and Lea. They joined our team shortly after we helped you guys." Cerise said.
"Well it's a pleasure to meet you all." Elinor said.
As they spent the day catching up Sparrow noticed Merida walking outside to the Archery range where she took out her bow and started firing at the targets.
She hit the bullseye on two targets and was about to move to the third when an arrow flew past her and just missed the bullseye by a few centimeters.
Turning around she saw Sparrow walking up behind her. "Aw man I missed it." Giggling Merida smiles as he walks over. "I thought I could beat you to the bullseye."
"Well try again." Merida said as Sparrow drew another arrow and fired this time getting closer. "I see your problem." Merida walks over and stands behind Sparrow and holds his hand causing him to blush slightly as she moves his arm. "Here aim the arrow just above the bullseye and fire."
Sparrow took a deep breath and nods before firing the arrow hitting the bullseye dead center.
"Not bad, you're pretty good." Merida said.
"Thanks, so…uh I don't know if you remember, but the last time I was here I offered if you wanted to hang out, uh is that optional?" Sparrow asks rubbing the back of his head.
"Sure, I'd love to." Merida said.
"Great, what do you want to do?" Sparrow asks.
"Know how to ride a horse?" Merida asks.
A few minutes later, the two of them were racing through the forest on horseback.
"Whoa! This is what you do all the time?!" Sparrow asks trying to hold.
"This is where the fun is!" Merida said taking out her bow and firing at the targets she had set up.
A smile forms on Sparrow's face as he takes out his bow and fires with her as the two of them race through the woods.
Laughing the two of them were having a great time when Merida notices a figure wearing an Organization coat walking through the woods, turning around she came face to face with Braig who's evil look in his eye startled her into missing the last target completely and almost falling off Angus.
"Merida are you okay?" Sparrow asks coming up next to her.
"I saw someone in the forest. The look on his face…it was like I was dealing with Mor'Du again and he wore this strange black coat." Merida said shocking him.
"Merida, we need to get back to the castle." Sparrow said.
"What Why? What's going on?" Merida asks.
"Trust me I'll explain when we get back." Sparrow said leading her away.
From the woods, Braig smirks seeing them run away.
"Well looks like I got some company. I guess it would be rude to be a visitor and not bring a welcoming gift." Braig said as multiple Sniper Nobodies appeared. "Why don't you guys give them a welcome they'll never forget."
Back at the castle, Roxas was sitting in the courtyard eating relaxing when a shadow appeared over his head. Opening his eyes he saw Cerise looking down at him.
"Hey is there room for one more?" Cerise asks.
Smiling Roxas nods as she sits down next to him, taking down her hood Cerise sighs as she lets her wolf ears out.
"We had quite an adventure here, didn't we?" Roxas said.
"Yep, but you and Ramona were the real talk of the adventure." Roxas said stroking her ears causing Cerise to giggle.
"My entire family was the talk." Cerise said.
"Not gonna lie when your dad found out you guys spilled the beans I thought he was gonna eat me." Roxas said.
"Like my dad would lay a finger on my boyfriend." Cerise teases causing Roxas to chuckle.
"Have I ever said those wolf ears really make you look beautiful?" Roxas asks causing her to blush.
"Well this side of me is something only you get to see." Cerise said.
She was about to lean in and kiss him when suddenly they heard Merida and Sparrow rush in dodging arrows.
"Whoa!" Sparrow said ducking as one misses him and heads towards Roxas and Cerise.
Acting quickly Roxas grabbed Cerise and they rolled out of the way in time. Little did he know his last Digivice fell out of his pocket and onto the floor.
Putting her hood back on Cerise looks to see Sniper nobodies on top the castle walls firing arrows at them.
"Incoming!" Cerise yells when Roxas summons Ninja Time and creates a giant turtle shell blocking the arrows.
Running outside Alistair, Lea, Xion, Ramona, Blondie, Bunny, and Amora ran out to see the Snipers attacking them.
"Hang on sis!" Ramona said as they all took out their Digivices.
"Shoot them down!" Lea said as Flamemon, Gaomon, Lunamon, Agumon, Lopmon, Armadillon, and Bearmon appeared.
As a Sniper fires an arrow at Merida she jumps off Angus and tumbles to the ground.
"What are those things?!" Merida asks.
"Trouble!" Sparrow said as he, Roxas and Cerise took out their Digivices calling out Gabumon, Shoutmon and Strabimon.
"What the heck are those?" Merida looks in shock.
"Friends! Now attack!" Sparrow yells as the Digimon rushed towards the Snipers who were firing at them.
"Diamond Shell!" Aramdillomon said rolling up into a ball and dodging the arrows.
"Pepper Breath!" Agumon yells firing multiple fireballs.
"Blue Blaster!" Gabumon yells firing blue flames.
"Tear Shot!" From her antenna, Lunamon fires a water orb.
"Blazing Ice!" Lopmon yells spiting ice as the four attacks cancel out the arrows while Bearmon, Flamemon, Strabimon, Gaomon and Shoutmon jumped onto the walls and sprinted towards the Snipers.
"Bear Fist!" Bearmon said punching a Sniper in the chest.
"Monkey Ball!" Flamemon releases an Aura of flames burning two Snipers at once.
"Darkness Hand!"
"Gao Rush!"
"Rock and Roller!"
Strabimon, Gaomon and Shoutmon attack the Snipers knocking all of them off the walls and down to the same level as the Forever After Fighters.
"Let's get them!" Lea yells as Amora blasts them with powerful wind attack knocking the Snipers to the ground.
Merida draws her bow and fires multiple arrows with Sparrow which piece the Snipers while Roxas, Lea, Alistair and Xion charge and strike down 4 Snipers at once.
Two Snipers fired a barrage of arrows at Cerise, Ramona and Bunny but the three girls used their flowmotion to dodge the arrows before diving down and delivering kicks to the face destroying them.
Suddenly they heard a familiar scream from inside the castle causing Merida to gasp. "Mom!"
Running inside they saw six Snipers aiming their crossbows at Elinor, Harris, Hubert and Hamish while Fergus had his sword out trying to scare them off until one Sniper fires an arrow knocking it out of his hand.
From the upper level Blondie, Merida and Sparrow run in to see them below.
"We'll never make it in time!" Sparrow gasps.
"Oh yes we will!" Blondie said as she activated her camera droids and pressed a series of buttons on her mirrorpad causing a button with a bear on it to appear. "Laser Roar!" Blondie yells as from the camera droids took the shape of a bear head and fired their lasers causing a bear-shaped laser to blast the Snipers destroying half of them and sending the rest smashing into the walls.
"Whoa, Blondie's been learning to fight." Brooke said impressed.
Sliding down the staircase Merida picks up her dad's sword and slashes one in half while Sparrow brings his guitar down on one's head destroying it.
The last Sniper turns to attack Blondie when suddenly Armadillomon rolled in and smashed into the Sniper destroying it.
"Is everyone okay?" Roxas asks as he and the Forever After Fighters and their Digimon ran in.
"Yeah luckily the new move I've been practicing helped out." Blondie said as Merida ran to her family.
"Is everyone alright?" Merida asks.
"Oh count the stars we're all safe." Fergus sighs.
"Merida what were those things?" Elinor asks before noticing the Digimon. "And what are those things?"
"Hi there." Agumon waves.
"A pleasure to meet you." Gabumon said trying to be nice but that only scared them.
"I don't know, but I have a feeling that you guys do." Merida said as they all turned to them.
"Uhhhhh." All of them said trying to figure out what to say before pulling into a huddle.
"What do we do? How are we gonna hide this from them?" Ramona asks.
"This is not, we're so busted." Lea said.
"Now calm down let's think maybe we could tell them and they'll understand." Sparrow suggests.
"Roxas what should we do? Back in the Organization we had to do whatever it took to keep our real identities secret." Xion said.
"I know, but I think in order to help these people we need to tell them everything." Roxas said as they separate. "Merida you and your family may want to sit down for this."
"You remember when we first met, we told you we were travelers?" Cerise asks as they nod.
"Well the truth is we kept out a large amount of what we truly are." Ramona cringes.
"How much are we talking?" Merida asks.
"We're from a school where kids like us learn to be heroes, princes, princesses and to follow in our parent's footsteps." Blondie said getting Elinor's interest.
"A school where you can learn to be a proper princess?" She asks.
"Yes, in fact I'm one of the teachers at this school. It's called Ever After High and we're from there." Amora said.
"And this school lets you kids run around helping people?" Fergus asks not sure if he should believe this.
"Pretty much, your majesty a war for our very existence is happening and we're the only ones who can stop the wrong side from winning." Lea said.
"Aren't you exaggerating?" Merida asks.
"If only we were. Remember that guy in the black coat we saw in the forest that scared you? He's one of the bad guys." Sparrow said causing everyone's eyes to widen.
"An Organization member is here?" Bunny asks.
"Which one?" Xion asks.
"I don't know he had black hair in a ponytail and he wore an eyepatch." Merida said causing Roxas, Lea, Xion and Alistair to gasp.
"Braig!" They all said at the same time.
"You know him?" Sparrow asks.
"If he's here he must be after something dangerous that's here." Lea said.
"We gotta stop him before he unleashes another monster." Alistair said.
All of them were about to turn and run out when Fergus stands up. "Now hold on! You seriously expect me to believe all this?"
"Dad, we were just attacked by strange creatures." Merida said.
"Okay you have a point. What can we do?" Fergus asks.
"Is there anything in this area that would be considered dangerous?" Roxas asks.
"Not since you and mom defeated Mor'Du." Merida said.
"This is bad, this is really bad. We have to find him before it's too late." Lea said.
"Merida please if you believe us we could really use you and your families help." Sparrow begged.
Looking into his eyes Merida saw Sparrow was telling the truth. "Alright. I'll help you."
Smiling Sparrow scoops her up into a hug surprising everyone before Sparrow quickly puts her down showing the blushes on both their faces.
"Uh thanks." Sparrow said.
"N-No problem." Merida stutters.
"Sparrow's in love. Sparrow's in love." Brooke teases causing her parents and Roxas to chuckle before he snaps out of it.
"Come on guys we got a forest to search!" Roxas said as he took out his Digivice. "Gabumon I need your speed."
"You got it Roxas." Gabumon nods. "Gabumon digivolve to...Garurumon!"
As the giant wolf sprinted out castle with Roxas on his back. The rest of the Forever After Fighters and Digimon followed behind.
Merida was about to leave with Angus when she noticed something on the ground. Walking over to pick it up she saw it was the Digivice Roxas had dropped.
Looking around she saw the Forever After Fighters were already out the door.
"I'll give it back to them later." She said before slipping the Digivice into her quiver for safe keeping. Little did she know a faint glow was being emitted from it.
As night came, Alistair, Roxas, Bunny, Garurumon, Lopmon and Armadillomon were walking through the forest looking for any sign of the Snipers and or Braig.
"Anything Garurumon?" Roxas asks as Garurumon sniffs the ground.
"Nothing, this forest is like a maze." Garurumon said.
"I can't get anything either." Aramdillomon sighs.
'It's alright guys. We'll just search the old-fashioned way." Alistair said.
"Hey Alistair, I've been meaning to ask. I know Roxas knows the Organization members, but how do you know about this one?" Bunny asks.
"It happened when Roxas and I got sent to Wonderland and met up with my mother and the White Queen. We were about to leave to help our friends who were trapped at Wonderland High when Braig showed up and attacked us with the Jabberwocky." Alistair said causing Bunny to gasp.
"We barely survived that thing. If Alistair hadn't unlocked his keyblade we would have been in trouble." Roxas said.
"So that's why you want to stop him so badly." Armadillomon said.
"I wish there was a way we could at least figure out the right direction to go." Alistiar said in frustration when Roxas came to a stop. "What's up Roxas?"
"Look." He said pointing ahead to show a Whisp waiting in front of them.
"Uh what is that?" Lopmon asks.
"It's a Whisp, in this world if you follow them they can lead you to your destiny." Roxas said.
"I remember those things, Roxas found one and it told him the secret to getting his heart." Brooke recalls.
"And it helped them when they needed to save Merida and Elinor." The male narrator said.
"But the big question is who is it for?" The female narrator asks.
As they followed the Whisps, they lead them to a cave where inside a single beam of light shined down on a yellow egg with a strange logo on it.
"What is that?" Bunny asks as the Digimon look at it with wide eyes.
"That's a DigiEgg." Garurumon said.
"What so a Digimon is inside it?" Roxas asks.
"Not in this case, these DigiEggs are used to help Digimon get stronger. But it only works for certain Digimon." Lopmon said.
"And if you can lift it." Armadillomon said.
"Each one is powered by a certain crest, that one is the DigiEgg of Knowledge." Garurumon said.
"Stronger, huh?" Bunny looks at the egg and walks up to it and tires to lift it but failed. "I guess it's not for us Lopmon."
"Let me try." Roxas said walking up to it. "He tries to lift it, but like Bunny he failed as well.
"Looks like it's all up to you Alistair." Bunny said.
Taking a deep breath Alistair walks up to the DigiEgg and wraps his hands around it, but when he pulls up the egg lifts off the ground instantly surprising everyone.
"Well that was easy." Alistair said when suddenly the egg glowed brightly as the light from it shined to his Digivice and the egg went inside it. "Wow."
Suddenly they heard a loud roar echo across the forest causing everyone to jump.
"Sounds like someone found what we were looking for." Bunny gulps.
"We got to help them!" Roxas said as he climbed onto Garurumon.
"Alright let's see what this egg can do." Alistair said as he and Bunny took out their Digivices.
"Lopmon digivolve to…Turiemon!" In Lopmon's place was a bunny Digimon in yellow karate outfit and two rabbit horn claws on the back of its arms.
"Armadillomon Armor Digivovle to…Digmon, the Drill of Knowledge!" In Armadillmon's place, a yellow Digimon with two drill arms and a drill nose appeared.
"Armor Digivolve?" The three of them said surprised.
"Come on! Let's go!" Garurumon said as the three of them climbed on their Digimon and raced towards the roar.
A few minutes earlier, in another part of the forest, Amora, Xion, Lea and Ramona were walking through the woods with their Digimon on high alert.
"So you guys seem to know much about this Organization member, care to tell us who we're dealing with?" Amora asks.
"His name is Braig, but back in the Organization when Roxas, Xion and I were in it his name was Xigbar. He was one of Xemnas' top members." Lea explains.
"Is he strong?" Ramona asks.
"Very. He's called the Freeshooter because of his two arrow guns and he manipulates Space." Xion nods.
"Don't worry Ramona he'll have to get through us first to get to you guys." Gaomon said when they heard the same roar Roxas, Alistair and Bunny heard.
"I think Braig just found what he was looking for." Lea cringed.
"Come on! We got to stop him!" Xion said as they all took out their Digivices.
"Agumon digivolve to…Greymon!" Agumon transformed into a large orange dinosaur-like creature.
"Gaomon digivolve to…Gaogamon!" Gaomon's body grew larger almost to Garurumon's size with claws coming out of his boxing gloves.
"Flamemon digivolve to…Agunimon!" Flamemon turned into a warrior with long yellow hair and flaming red armor.
"Lunamon digivolve to…Leskimon!" Lunamon turned into a larger version with big ears and a necklace around her neck.
A half-hour earlier, Sparrow, Merida, Elinor, Cerise, and Blondie were walking with their Digimon and Angus as they went to the spot where they first saw Braig.
"And this is the spot where you found him?" Blondie asks.
"Yep, this is the place." Merida said.
"Alright let's look around for clues." Elinor said as they scanned the area.
As Elinor walks up a small hill, she looks around and notices Merida stealing glances at Sparrow before going back to her search. Seeing her Elinor let out a small giggle before walking down to her.
"Merida, are you alright?" Elinor asks.
"Huh? Oh yeah mom I'm fine. I mean this whole darkness thing has me a little worried." Merida said.
"Not to mention that boy is here." Elinor said hinting towards Sparrow.
"Sparrow? What does he have to do with any of this?" Merida asks.
"Merida, I see that look in your eyes, you like him." Elinor said causing Merida to blush.
"I-I-I don't know what you're talking about." She stutters.
"Well aside from his recklessness he's very caring and it's clear he like you." Elinor said.
"Mom, now is not the time." Merida said causing Elinor to giggle.
"Hey guys over here!" Blondie calls out getting their attention.
Walking over to her Blondie held her mirrorpad and zoomed in to show 4 Snipers and 6 Dusks blocking the entrance to the old kingdom where they found Mor'Du.
"I don't like where this is going." Cerise said.
"We have to stop them before they try anything." Shoutmon said.
"Right." They all said as Cerise, Blondie and Sparrow took out their Digivices.
"Strabimon digivolve to…Lobomon!" Strabimon turned into a wolf armored warrior with two swords.
"Bearmon digivolve to…Grizzlymon!" Bearmon grew in size as he became a large grizzly bear like Digimon with large claws.
"Shoutmon digivolve to…Shoutmon King Version!" Shoutmon grew a little in size as a long yellow scarf appeared around his neck.
At the gate of the castle, the Snipers and Dusks were standing guard when suddenly they heard a rustling noise from the forest when suddenly from the trees above Lobomon and Shoutmon King Version dived down towards them while they were distracted Grizzlymon, Merida, Cerise and Sparrow charged from the bushes and ram into them destroying 3 Dusks.
"Rowdy Rocker!" Shoutmon smacks his mic on a Dusk's head destroying it.
"Lobo Kendo!" Lobomon summons two swords of light and charges at a Sniper who fired multiple arrows at him but Lobomon slashes them with ease before cutting the Sniper in half.
"Heavy Attack!" Grizzlymon swipes his paws destroying two Dusks and a Sniper.
As the last two Snipers and the last Dusk attacked Sparrow and Merida jumped behind some rocks.
Taking out their arrows they fired knocking the arrows away as Lobomon and Cerise destroy the last of them.
"My, my you kids really are heroes." Elinor said examining the Digimon.
"We told you." Cerise said.
Down below in the old throne room, Braig was examining the room. "Geez what a dump. No wonder this place fell apart."
Walking to the back he saw a shadow in the back causing him to grin.
"Hold it right there!" Braig stops as he turns around to see Merida and Sparrow pointing their arrows at his skull. "And here I thought you kids weren't all that." He smirks.
"You are wanted for suspicious activity. I suggest you come quietly." Elinor said from above.
"As if. Like I'm gonna take orders from you of all people lady." Braig smirks turning around. "You know I actually should be thanking you kids. I wouldn't have been able to find this thing if you all didn't come to this world before."
"What are you talking about?" Cerise asks.
Braig snaps his fingers and emerging from the darkness was a large muscular nobody that had claws coming out of its arm, two axes strapped to its back and a bear shaped helmet on its head.
As it let out a roar everyone looked in horror as in its place they saw Mor'du.
"Say hello to the nobody of this world's most feared creature." Braig declares as Mor'du's nobody charged up the walls at them.
"Run. Run!" Elinor yells as they made their way out as fast as they could. Breaking through the walls it chases after them before letting out a powerful war cry that alerted all the Forever After Fighters.
Running as fast as they could they all met up at the Stone Circle with their Digimon.
"What's going on?" Xion asks.
"What was that?" Bunny asks.
"It's Mor'du! They managed to make a Nobody from him!" Blondie said causing them all to gasp in shock.
"Why so surprised?" They turn to see Braig sitting atop one of the stone towers. "After all it was you kids who brought this danger to real life."
"You!" Alistair glares.
"Easy kid, you're about to have some unwanted company." Braig smirks as multiple Snipers, Grapplers, Knight Head and Mystic Flyer nobodies appeared and surrounded them all when Mor'du's nobody arrived and roared signaling for the nobodies to attack.
"Everybody move!" Greymon said as he and the other Digimon circled in front of their masters to protect them.
"Nova Blast!" Greymon releases a giant fireball.
"Howling Blaster!" Garurumon releases a blast of blue flames.
"Pyro Punch!" Flames surround Agunimon's fists as he launches multiple fireballs
"Howling Laser!" Holding up his arm Lobomon fires a blast of light.
"Gold Rush!" Digmon fires multiple drills into the air.
"Tear Arrow!" Leskimon fires an arrow from her back.
"Crescent Dawn!" From the moon mark on his head Grizzlymon fires a crescent moon blast.
"Spiral Blow!" Gaogamon releases a powerful vortex of wind.
"Rock Damashi!" Shoutmon King Version releases a ball of energy in the shape of the 8th note.
"Gauntlet Claw!" Tururiemon unlocks her claws and throws them with ninja like accuracy.
The ten attacks strike home knocking Mor'du's nobody backwards while all the other Nobodies were destroyed.
"Damn those things are good." Braig said as he was about to leave when a blast of light narrowly misses him.
Turning around he saw Alistair, Roxas, Merida and Sparrow glaring at him.
"Oh so you kids want to play?" Braig smirks as he summons his arrow guns in each hand. "Let's play!"
"Get him Greymon!" Xion said as Greymon charged towards Mor'du's nobody who charged and meets him head on as the two creatures met head on and were in a stalemate as they tried to push the other backwards.
Suddenly jumping off of Greymon's shoulders Ramona and Cerise kick and slash Mor'du's nobody making it scream in pain allowing Greymon to throw it into a stone tower.
As he picks himself up Agunimon, Lobomon and Lea charged at him. Letting out a roar Mordu's nobody split into 4 copies of himself who swing their axes blocking Lobomon's swords and Lea's keyblade before pushing them backwards.
"Blondie protect Elinor!" Xion said as Blondie and Grizzlymon stood in front of Elinor.
"What about you?" Elinor asks.
"Don't worry your majesty we can handle this." Blondie said.
Firing a blast of lightning Amora zaps one of the copies away allowing her, Bunny, Leskimon and Tururiemon attack pushing it away while Cerise, Ramona, Xion, Lea, Agunimon, Lobomon, Gaogamon, Shoutmon, Garurumon, Digmon and Greymon face off against the other three.
Back with Roxas, Alistair, Merida and Sparrow, the four of them were running for cover as Braig fires barrage after barrage of arrows at them.
Jumping behind some rocks Merida reaches into her quiver and pulls out three arrows before firing them at him but Braig fires an arrow breaking them in half with ease.
"You call that archery? This is archery." Braig fires an arrow which bounces off the rocks and hits Merida in the shoulder making her flinch in pain.
"Merida!" Sparrow gasps running over to her.
"Ugh." Merida groans in pain as she tries to pull an arrow, but her shoulder hurt too much.
"You stay down. We'll handle this." Sparrow assured her.
"No I want to help." Merida said, but Sparrow stops her.
"If you can't fight back you need to take cover. I don't want anything bad to happen to you." Sparrow said causing Merida to blush.
Grabbing his guitar Sparrow strummed some strings creating a shockwave stopping Braig from firing anymore arrows.
Seeing this opening Roxas and Alistair hit him the gut with their keyblades knocking the wind out of him causing him to skid backwards.
'Those guys are amazing. I wish I could help.' Merida thought when she remembered something. Reaching into her quiver she pulled out the Digivice and saw it was glowing brightly. "What the?"
As Garurumon pounced on a clone of Mor'du's nobody he bit down on its arm until it used its free arm to swing his axe knocking Garurumon backwards.
"Pyro Tornado!" Agunimon surrounds himself with flames and spins like a tornado and kicks the clone in the face sending it crashing into a stone pillar.
"Payback time! Lobomon!" Cerise said as she and Lobomon kicked it in the gut and Lobomon stabs it in the chest destroying it.
Looking over Amora and Leskimon were firing multiple magical blasts at the clone of Mor'du who was deflecting them with its axes when from behind Bunny and Tururiemon attack causing it to duck and block their attacks before Bunny does a backflip over him and kicks him in the face.
"Sparkga!" Amora creates 3 light crystals which spin around the clone and zap with tons of electricity before Turururiemon stabs it in the gut with her horn gauntlets destroying it.
Deflecting Braig's arrows Roxas and Alistair charge in and strike but Braig vanishes and appears in a cut in space above them.
"See ya." Braig smirks as she fires multiple arrows at them knocking Roxas and Alistair backwards.
Gasping Merida looks at the Digivice. "Alright I don't know what you are but please, help me save my friends." Merida said as she saw Sparrow get hit by multiple arrows. "Please!"
Suddenly a bright light shot out of the Digivice and from it a dragon Digimon wearing Japanese style armor appeared surprising everyone.
"I don't believe it." Alistair said.
"Merida is the last of the team's Digi Destined." Roxas said in awe.
"I am Ryudamon and you shall suffer for hurting my master's friends."
"As if." Braig fires multiple arrows at Ryudamon but he charges forward with the arrows bouncing off his armor surprising Braig.
"Katana attack!" Leaping into the air Ryudamon fires a blade of iron from his mouth slashing Braig's side causing him to flinch in pain as he drops to the ground.
Facing the last clone Xion, Greymon and Lea stared it down.
"Nova Blast!" Greymon fires a giant fireball destroying it leaving them just with the original.
Mor'du's nobody was about to attack when Braig grabbed it. "You'll get your chance later. Right now, we need to fall back for now."
"No!" Alistair and Merida run towards him only for Braig to open a dark portal and the two of them leave leaving everyone in shock.
Back at Castle Dunbronch, everyone was sitting around getting patched up.
"So what's going to happen now?" Merida asks worried about what was going on.
"The Organization is going to use Mor'du's nobody to take over worlds and destroy anyone who gets in their way." Lea sighs.
"That's horrible." Elinor said.
"But what can we do to help? I mean they left as quickly as they arrived." Fergus asks.
Merida paused to think of what to do when she realized what she could do.
"Mom, dad, I need to leave with them." Merida said shocking everyone.
"What? Merida you can't be serious." Fergus said.
"I am, I can't let Mor'du destroy innocent lives. If I go with Roxas, Sparrow and their friends to their school there's a chance I can stop him." Merida said.
"But Merida, what if something happens to you?" Elinor asks.
"Mom, I love you guys, but I need to do this. This is what I have to do." Merida said.
Elinor turns to Forever After Fighters. "Are you all sure about letting her join?"
"We're always looking for more help." Ramona shrugs.
"And she does have her own Digimon, so she can definitely hold her own in fight." Roxas said.
"So does that mean I can come?" Merida asks hopefully.
All of them smile as they nod causing her to smile.
Suddenly a light forms in Alistair's hand. Looking down he saw a new keyblade forming, the blade is the main tower of Castle Dunbroch, the center of the guard is Merida's bow, the guard is Elinor's crown, the hilt is wooden like Fergus's peg leg, the chains are three bear heads like Hamish, Hubert and Harris, and the token for the keychain is the symbol of Clan Dunbroch.
"Whoa, that's a cool keyblade." Bunny said.
"It practically screams Dunbronch." Merida said.
"Hmm Dunbronch Bonds...I like the sound of that." Alistair smiles.
"Looks like Ever After High has a new student." The male narrator said.
"I think Merida will make a great addition." The Male Narrator said.
"Oh yeah, big time." Brooke agrees.
The next day Merida had her bags packed and brought with her a bow, a sword, and Angus. As she said goodbye to her family and followed the Forever After Fighters.
"So, where do we go to get to this school?" Merida asks.
"Right up there." Sparrow said pointing to the Tempest causing Merida's mouth to drop.
"Whoa." Merida said.
"Welcome to the Forever After Fighters Merida." Sparrow said.
Smiling she leans in and pecks him on the cheek causing him to blush as she walks ahead.
As everyone helped Merida bring her stuff onto the Tempest Roxas looks up to see another Whisp, following it with his eyes he saw the Whisp move towards Crystal, Darling, Farrah, Lizzie and Meeshell.
'I guess those Whisps are really interested in my love life.' Roxas thought as they helped Angus onto the Tempest and left to get Merida enrolled in her new school.
