22H, was confused as she looked down at the rainy alley in front of her, the Android was unsure of what was happening? Where did her mother and father go, as the last thing she remembered was a giant tower falling and someone putting on her blindfold? The only thing she knew was to keep moving forwards and seeing what lurked beyond the allay walls, wondering if the rain would die soon?
"Pod, please scan the area. It seems we're still alive, and I don't sense units 2B, and 22B around! They have to be around here somewhere, I don't hear machines or the fact that the alley is clean, no sand, or death littering the place." 22H declared, as she stepped out into the town square, as her pod number 69, slowly followed, silently gathering data, in order to form some hypothetical answers to their situation.
Was she in a different world than where everyone else went? Surely the machines haven't invaded, or maybe they were hiding, and she'd have to fight soon? 22H could only look around, wondering if any lifeforms were around. Where were the humans, as this place seemed too clean and peaceful for humanity to not be here? In fact, how did they find this town? The last thing 22H could remember was falling off the tower as her father and mother jumped off, trying to catch her. Before 22H could think of any more questions, her pod started to beep!
"Alert, unknown life form detected, advise caution!" Pod declared, as 22H looked around, grabbing her mother's sword, as the android quickly spotted a hooded figure on the stairs by a small shop.
"I see you're awake, not the one I desired to return with me, but surely you'll be an interesting specimen to deal with!" The man called out as 22H summoned a new large sword out of light, it was purely white, except for some black along the hilt, as 22H pointed the two large curved blades at the mysterious figure, wondering who the man in the black coat was, and what was he rambling about?
"Who are you, and what are you talking about!" 22H said bluntly, as the Android charged at the figure, only for her swords to phase through his body upon contact. Pod fired a volley of bullets at the hooded man, as he flipped, and waved through the hail fire, shifting from building to building as 22H watched the man playing with them.
"He isn't human, Pod retreat!" 22H commanded, as her Pod stopped firing, returning to the white-haired woman. As the cloaked man stopped moving, as he took off his hood, 22H noted that the man had long silver hair, and amber eyes, adding to the crazier grin he was giving to her as she unsummoned her key blade, and strapped her long sword to her back.
"Who I am isn't important at the moment, all that matters is fixing the timeline, so cease this foolish assault, there are heartless to destroy and people to save, if you are here, then you'll have to play the hero, even though your talents are a shadow of the man who killed me!" Xehanort declared, snapping his fingers, as a swarm of heartless erupted from the ground, surrounding 22H and her pod with an army of Neo shadows, 22H remained focused on the mysterious man as the heartless circled around her.
"These monsters—they're like the ones my father mentioned once in a story!" 22H let out, quickly bringing back out her key blade, automatically running through the horde of Neo shadows, cutting and slicing through them, as her Pod fired a stream of bullets through the creatures, attempting to create a path to the man known as Young Xehanort. However, the bullets would never reach the cruel key blade master, as the heartless began to move faster, blocking the bullets, and the ground started to get darker due to a mix of dark magic and pitch black blood.
"Your abyss awaits, the sooner you accept the darkness, and dive into this new fate, the closer you will be to finding your parents and home world. I won't tell you again, there's a price to pay for changing fate. You can save your world, save your friends, and find a new love when fate cuts you off, but know this, you won't find a happy ending. I'll make sure that next time it's different. You'll find me in our fated place thirteen days from now. I suggest you prepare yourself, Android!" Xehanort declared, as the darkness around 22H and her pod started to rise, holding onto her body like a parasite, dragging her deeper into the abyss, as 22H swung her key blade only for the monsters to grab hold of her arms, the last thing the Android could see was the blurry outside two cities in the distance, one dark and full of screaming people, the other was of an abandoned city of ruin, where no life existed, except the aftermath of war, love, and a remainder that she was the last key to keeping their legacy alive.
"No, I won't allow it to end like this, Mother, Father, I will not let your sacrifices go in vain." 22H shouted, as she used her left arm to grab hold of her pod, ordering the weapon to turn its body and fire a stream of lasers into the shadows. The blast had freed 22H from the monster's grasp, and as she started to run, summoning the key blade, and pulling out her mom's sword, she had to escape the monster's and look human to blend it, she needed a plan in order to deal with Xehanort, and whatever issue he was playing at.
"Proposal, Yorha unit 22H should head into one of the towns shops to find safety, and form a plan!" Pod stated, 22H nodded, as she ran out of the ally, bolting into the nearest shop possible.
—--
When 22H took a second to feel safe, she wasn't sure what kind of shop this was, as she looked down to see three little ducks in a corner. They seemed scared, but 22H remained silent, deciding it was best to gaze at the shop's items; she needed to figure out a plan, as Pod 69 began scanning the shop. They would need an extra pair of clothes, figuring sooner or later the Yorha issue uniform was going to be a dead giveaway that she was from another world. The only things from her previous world she was keeping consistent were her blindfold and a red jacket that her father had given her, and her mother's sword.
"We need to find this fated place, as soon as I get new clothes, we'll figure out a way out of this town. If it's another world, perhaps we can find a ship to take us, any objections Pod?" 22H asked quietly, so the ducks wouldn't catch on to their conversation, as 22H glanced at them every few seconds, they were happily looking at her, and Pod. 22H took another look at the shelves, it was mainly potions, random weapons, food, and other needless things for an Android, but she was able to find a few pieces of clothing that would fit her. They were simple and firm fitting, a black shirt, dark blue jeans, and other pieces to help her be more human like a belt and swimsuit for occasional scenarios.
22H silently walked over to the counter, as the Android began to realize that they didn't have any form of currency, and it was highly unlikely that the shopkeeper would allow her to walk out with her clothes, leaving her with two choices, run or attempt to come up with a deal!
