The King's Request

[Nami]

So, her legs had collapsed on her, afterall. When she came to her half-senses after the attack, she had found she was kneeling on the ground with her staff held tightly to her body. She was trembling, and she could've swore there wre tears on her cheeks. Before the people that had come to save her found out before her, she rubbed her cheeks to rid the tears, then looked up.

A young girl with an obviously warming face and red hair.
A boy with a serious, cold and yet non-threatening expression with silver hair.
A mysterious boy of the same age, with black hair.

What? The faces of the people before her were no older than herself. They held weapons, and had a confidence about them. It made her feel even more pathetic that she had been saved by those much like here. She could've saved herself. She was so mad at herself, that her eyes streamed even more. This embaressed her, but the others didn't seem to notice, or say anything, at least. A dragon helped her up that looked much like a regular human girl. But she had seen this type of person before. Travelers from other worlds sometimes looked like her, only with different kinds of faces. Some feline, kanine, or even aquatic.

"Th-Thank... y-you...," She whispered, hiding her face in her bangs and behind her staff.

Normally, They would all be flinching from the sudden light, but none came.

The once [relatively] peaceful Twilight Town had gone from bright city to dark slum. The streets were almost devoid of people, the only ones who were out were quickly leaving as if a storm was coming.

Around corners, you could see nobodies beginning to flit in and out of the place. The occassional Shadow could be found in a dark alleyway or trash bin, waiting for a victim.

Goofy and Mickey looked at the streets almost sorrowfully. Donald took one glance and complained,"You leave for a week and stuff like this happens." Then waddled over to a shadow's hiding spot, bonking it on the head. "Get outta here!! Ya rotten lazy..." The little creature ran off, taking cover near a dusk.

Mickey saw what Donald was doing and hushedly said,"Donald... Ya might wanna stop that..."

Donald was too interested in getting rid of the heartless to notice,"Think that nobody will save ya? Well think again! THUNDER!!!"

Both creatures disintegrated.

"HA! That'll teach ya!", he turned back to his friends only to see shocked expressions. "What? What's the matter you two? Is there something behi-" His sentence was interrupted by a sudden growling from his rear.

A large Hound type Half-hearted was glaring him in the face, snarling.

"umm... Nice doggy? Heh...heh?"

The beast just took one step closer to him, it's growling getting louder. Then... "GRAHOOOOOOOO!!" It howled and three more half-hearts just like it appeared out of the ground.

Goofy grabbed his little buddies and started running shouting, "LET"S GET OUTTA HERE!!!"

[deathwielderTiTo]

After a while Franky, Aria, Riku, Sora, Kairi, and Pearlscale got to know the new girl named Sakura

Franky heard the noise of a Hound Dog in a far distant place.
" Hey Ari we should go check that out it sounds like those nasty hounds again. " Franky said pointing the way
Ari just nodded his head and both ran towards the direction

Right before Sora and Riku tried to follow them a shadow appeared before them.
They turn around and look to see two huge monsters behind them
Sora recognized the Darkside and went to vanquish it. Riku took the other monster known as Twilight Thorn. Pearlscale went to help Riku fight the huge beast.

Both where quickly vanquished when suddenly they combined. A huge beast covering the moon was in front of their eyes as they see the horror.

[Bebop Blues]

Ari and Franky ran through the streets of Twilight Town. Their only guide was the sound of the Hounds. As Ari and Franky turned a corner they ran into someone. Ari fell hard on his back. Ari sat rubbing his back, his hood had fallen off his face. Ari looked up to see who he and Franky had just run into. "King Mickey?!" Ari said. Ari's face was shock stricken.

"You know these guys?" Franky asked. Ari nodded. "Is he the guy you were telling me about when you came back from Wen Lin's?"

"Yen Sid." Ari and Mickey said together.

[Tenyasyugan]

Donald was flailing in goofy's hold, "Put me DOWN!! PUT ME DOWN!!!" Goofy just kept on running,"They're gonna get us! Those nasty's are gonna get us!!" Mickey was just hanging on for the ride until-

CRASH!

Goofy kept on Running.

"Wait!! Goofy! Who was that!?" the helpless mage couldn't see.

"I dunno!!" and Goofy didn't come to a stop until they had reached the old mansion.

"Gawrsh, is it me or did you fellers get lighter?" He looked at his load and was shocked to see Mickey missing.

Donald Flipped out. "OH NOOOOO!!! YOU DROPPED HIM WHEN WE RAN INTO THAT GUY! NOW WHAT DO WE DO?!?!"

[deathwielderTiTo]

Sora, Riku, and Pearlscale went to fight the monstor that was in front of them
"They call it the Destroyer " said Pearlscale. " We have to fight something that big " said Sora
" we have to or it'll destroy Twilight Town as they know it." Riku said.


Meanwhile Franky was surprised to see Ari talking. " So you're the famous King Mickey this bug lovable bear told me." Franky said

But before The King could answer a Half-Heart appeared behind him.

With a strike of his keyblade Ari destroyed it.
" You sure have grown haven't you" The King said

" Yes I have been continuing my training as you commanded your Highness." said Ari

Then Franky sees the Destroyer and panic's

" I fought that big baby and it didn't end up pretty " said Franky as they headed for its direction.

[Bebop Blues]

Ari, Franky, and King Mickey ran towards the giant beast. "Mickey!?" Riku said as King Mickey and Ari ran past him. Sora, Kairi, and the dragon were fighting the Destroyer. "What's King Mickey doing here?" Riku asked Franky. Franky shrugged. Riku turned to where the battle was taking place. King Mickey looked at Ari. Ari understood and nodded. Ari and King Mickey ran at the giant Half-Heart.

The Destroyer threw one if it's hands down, but Mickey and Ari quickly jumped on the Destroyers arm and began to run up it. The Destroyer went to swat at Ari and the King, but Ari flipped onto the Destroyer's other arm as King Mickey jumped over the Destroyer's hand. Ari and King Mckey began to run even faster than they were before.

They summoned their Keyblades and became blurs. Ari was kneeling on his right knee on the ground in front of the Destroyer with his Keyblade held to the side with his left hand. King Mickey was doing the same thing to the right of the Ari. King Mickey was on his left knee with his Keyblade held out to the side with his right hand. The Destroyer's body fell to the ground as the head rolled forward. "Woah." Riku said.

[Nami]

They were everywhere now.
The beasts were ripping up the town, and attacking the people Sakura just met. Each of them were fighting, she felt so helpless. What could she do to help? Healing and sheilding was it. And nobody seemed to need it. They were all taking care of the beasts without any problem. She backed herself up against a building's wall and watched the small glints of battle in the moonlight.

Then, out of nowhere, a large growl sounded. A creature- whether heartless, nobody or inbetween- had come from nowhere next to her and tackled her to the ground. She felt it's talons grab and grind at her chest, attempting to get her heart. She managed to push it off, but not with much strength. It bounced a little away, and she managed to stand and run. She didn't know where, but it was just away from the THING.

[Tenyasyugan]

"YOU IDIOT!! HOW COULD YOU DROP THE KING!!?? HE'S THE KING FOR KINGDOM HEART'S SAKE!!"

Donald had been mercilessly bashing Goofy for the past 5 minutes unceasing until Goofy stood up and pointed toward a group of building.

"Hey, uh, Donald? What's that over yonder?"

Donald stopped and looked where he was pointing, "Wha?..... RUN GOOFY IT"S ANOTHER ONE OF THOSE HALF-HEARTED THINGS!!"

Then out of a the hole in the wall that led to the main town, came running a girl who seemed scared out of her wits. She collapsed behind the wall, out-of breath.

"Hello there! You okay!?" Goofy waved to the girl. She looked up, shocked, but relaxed when she saw they were friendly.

Donald stared at her then up at the Destroyer, "Do you have any Idea what's going on?"

{meh, short but I adapted it to fit yours Voco.}

[deathwielderTiTo]

After the amazing show both The King and Ari did,the huge beast just seperated into smaller hound and golem Half-Hearts. Everyone was occupied with at least three half-Hearts left.

Franky quickly destroyed the ones that were in front of him and then suddenly remember of Sakura.

He turned around and saw her being attacked by a Hound.

Before he can run to help her a Golem grabbed him and threw him back

" Damn it you stupid monster I'll just have to slice my way through. "Franky said while cutting the Golem in half.

Hounds suddenly appear out of nowhere ambushing him.

" Damn I wont be able to help her" Franky said while trying to destroy the Hounds

Ari came and destroied all the monsters on Franky.
" Thanks Ari i would've been a goner." Franky said

He turns around to see Sakura gone.

Half-hearts kept attacking him so he just kept destroying them and promised himself he would go back to look for her.

[Bebop Blues]

Aria and Riku were walking side by side. Sora and Franky were walking in front of them arguing over who had killed the most Half-Hearts. "Why do you let Franky speak for you?" Riku asked.

"The same reason why Leon changed his name. When I learned what had become of my original home world I took an oath a silence until I did all I could to stop any and all threats to all of the worlds. The only times I speak are when I feel I need to, or whenever Franky does something extremely stupid." The two boys walked on in silence. "I know you have more questions so you might as well asked them while I'm feeling talkative." Ari said with a small smile.

"Alright." Riku said. "How'd you get your Keyblade?"

"I got as a part of my coming of age ceremony back in my town. When a boy in our tribe turns twelve, he is sent into the mountains with a weapon of his choice. The mountains on my home world were the most harsh area. No one could survive there for more than two days. Regular boys were sent to the mountains for a week. If they survived they became a part of an elite group of warriors that protected the town and the entire world. If they didn't come back a search party was sent for them and they had to get a regular job in the town."

"Wow, sounds rough." Riku said. "What did you mean by 'regular boys'?"

"My ceremony was different. My father was head of our tribe and leader of the town. He was responsible for the protection of everyone in the town, even if they weren't part of the tribe or originally from our world. If I wanted to take over for my father I had to survive in the mountains for a month with a weapon that I made myself. If I didn't come back, I would've had to fight my father in a fight to the death.

"I spent months crafting the perfect bow. I was the best archer on the entire world, but I was only five. While I was in the mountains I was attacked by a large group of strong heartless. My bow broke while I was fighting. I thought I was dead, but there was a flash of light and the heartless were gone. My keyblade was in my hand and I've had it ever since. When I got back to town it was being destroyed by heartless. I found my father and fought off all the heartless I could, but my father didn't want anything to happen to me, so he knocked me out. That's all I remember." Riku and Ari fell silent again. Riku was about to ask another question when there was another loud scream.

[Nami]

The visions of Twilight Town in the darkness blurred by as Sakura ran. She was almost hit by the trolly as it ran on it's computer-guided track. All of this was so much for her. Just this morning everything was so peaceful and happy. Now, wreckage and chaos. What had become of her home? Sure, she was accostomed to a heartless or nobody here and there, but this new creature was worse. Stronger, smarter, more abundant.
Sakura gasped for air as she finally made it to a safe area in the forest of Twilight Town. She listened in horror as the sounds of heartthirsty roars and battle cries filled the previously unoccupied air. She hugged her knees to her chest as her back rested lightly on a tree trunk. She wasn't crying anymore, or so she thought, anyway, but she was still far from her wits. When a yell from nearby came loudly, she jumped about a foot in fright and yelped a little. But when she saw the two who had arrived, she calmed. They weren't evil. They even had the seal of the Disney Kingdom on their garb.
The duck of the two had asked her, or really, in general, what was going on. She only nodded to the dog, whom had asked of her status, but she ignored the duck. She didn't know the answer herself, how could she really help?
Sakura looked back at the two from Disney Castle but found something a little more interesting behind them. The soil and grass behind them was rising, like something from underneath was pushing up. Or, several things. Two creatures that looked much like flowers, but much more intimidating and large, had grown from the soil. From where their pollin should be was instead a gaping hole, which was dripping a neon sludge. The sludg dripped from the hole and sizzled the grass dead where it hit.

Sakura screamed.

One of the flowermonsters (a new type of half-hearted, apparently) roared, sending the acidic sludge at all ranges. Luckily, the young girl managed to dodge the bullet-like drops before they melted her skin off. The other one closed the hole in the middle of it and once opened, sent out bullet-like seeds at her and the two others. The ends of the seeds were sharp, nothing less than knives. Petrified, Sakura could do nothing more than hold her staff infront of her face and pray she lived.

[deathwielderTiTo]

" I killed over 45 Half-hearts." said Franky proudly as he was walking.

" Well I killed 46 half-hearts" said Sora trying to annoy Franky.
Sora looks back to see Ari and Riku talking

" So how did you and Ari meet anyways? " Sora asked Franky before he screamed with anger

" Oh well its a pretty long story actually but if you wanna know then I guess i'll tell you." said Franky as he begins the Story

" One day I was trying to learn how to truly master my Dragoon spear in Traverse Town and I see the moon being covered up.I see the Destroyer attacking a hotel. I automatically ran to the site. I see on the floor Ari knocked out and the Destroyer attacking him. I blocked the attack with my spear. I tried to push him back while I tried to wake him up but it didn't work. I just pushed him aside and focused on the Destroyer. It was a long and hard battle since it was my first time recieving the Dragoon Spear. But the Destroyer was about to take the final blow on me and I couldn't move an inch. Then Ari appeared and stopped the strike and with all my streght I threw my spear into the Destroyer's head. Every since then we've became friends." aid Franky

"Wow, thats an interesting story. So how did you get the Dragoon Spear anyways? " Sora asked

" Well.." Franky began to speak untill they heard a sudden scream.

He forgot that Sakura ran off.

Franky and sora both ran to where the heard the scream.

[JustCallMeShadow]

"Uhg, I HATE splitting up by myself!"
Pearlscale was rather annoyed with this. Fighting the Half-Hearts alone was stupid.
"Next time we split up, I better go with someone." she said.
As she flew alone, something HUGE crept up behind her. Another huge creature snuck up. She turned around to see a Storm Rider and Twilight Thorn.
"SEE GUYS? THAT'S WHY WE SHOULDN'T GO ALONE!" Pearlscale shouted, hoping someone would hear her.
But no one answered, so she was left to take care of the two beasts.

[Bebop Blues]

Riku and Ari followed Sora and Franky. Riku still had a few questions for Ari, but they would have to wait. Ari and Riku ran around an oncoming trolley as Sora and Franky ran around it. The boys finally reached the edge of the forest when another gang of Half-Hearts and Heartless appeared. It was the largest group yet. There was at least thirty Half-Hearts and fifty Heartless. Riku was beginning to become frustrated, but Ari was still calm.
