"Ughhhh, it happened again! I swear this is almost every time I go out these days, it's getting ridiculous! I was out running errands, about to get some coffee, when I took a moment to hold my belly and pant a bit. You know, normal contractions every girl carrying quintuplets gets like constantly. I'm only six months along! But I guess an ambulance parked nearby saw it and, well, you know the new laws. Basically pregnant girls are public property, and at least in my line of work (school teacher), I have to maintain a pregnant physique or I can get fined, even lose my job. Same with healthcare, food service, retail, hospitality.... Most jobs, honestly. Welcome to Georgia, I guess. Still happy I got transferred here a couple years ago but these laws are a bit out of hand.....

Speaking of which! The ambulance pulls up, two men come out. I try to stop them but they insist on testing me for signs of labor. I explain that I'm only six months and they tell me to be quiet so they can do their jobs. They remove my clothes with scissors and shoot me up with some kind of opioid that makes me really loopy and high. They take me to the hospital as the men take videos of me on their phones, spreading my legs, showing off my pussy, spreading it open under the guise of looking for how dilated I am. But they were literally playing with my pussy, rubbing it, sticking their fingers in with gloves, shoving instruments into it. At one point about seven different instruments were jammed into my pussy and I came, squirted all over. They got mad and told me if I act up like that they can't perform their jobs. I apologized for cumming.

They took me in and surprise-surprise, the ER was full of pregnant girls. Some were texting on their phones, shaking their heads as they got C-sections, filming themselves having it done, as others impatiently waited to be stitched up afterwards, grumbling about just wanting to go home and get knocked up again already. Aloof male nurses and physicians would pass them by and tell them not to be so impatient, that they were very busy...... mostly just probing and abusing cute pregnant girls.

They ran their 'tests'..... again, happened to me just a few days ago. So I'm used to it. They squeeze my tits and got 'milk samples'. I have to give them urine samples, over and over, as I piss with no privacy in a busy auditorium they used as an ER, full of girls like me, with various lines for either labor, forced C-sections, or general 'testing'. They of course gave me an enema, in a crowded room, complaining about the mess I was making as other girls were subjected to the same in one corner that was all tile with some showerheads. We were sprayed off and dried off as they had salon workers there doll us up before we were subjected to 'labor sensitivity testing'.

I tried explaining that I'm six months but they had ten different men with huge cocks fuck my pussy. A few even tried my ass, too, to see if I was susceptible to being induced. Nope. My womb can handle all the punishment Georgia can throw at it. I commute on public transportation, doesn't matter how pregnant I am, men try to fuck the babies out of me, like, every day. No luck! So, after that they told me I was OK'd to go home, as my babies weren't quite big enough for them to put me in the C-section area with all those other bored influencer girls.

So, with my hospital bracelet, purse, and jewelry as my only clothing, they spanked me on my way out the door of the hospital and told me not to be a stranger. I walked home naked, got fucked about ten times on the way back. I was even paid by a few guys who thought I was turning tricks. Guess I can add whore to my resume now. I even got fucked in line, paying for my coffee. The man behind me didn't say a word. I started paying and he just rammed his cock in me and started fucking me. Big fat nerdy guy, but his cock was big. Probably hasn't showered in a week. Instead of telling him to stop having his way with me, another cashier opened a different register, and they said nothing until he came inside me, spanked me, then smacked my belly a few times while climaxing. The cashier finally told me I was holding up the line after that, and I left, not before one of my neighbors fucked me as I checked our mailbox. He apologized afterword and told me I look incredibly sexy so pregnant. I thanked him and reminded him I'm only six months.... Now it's time for a shower. After that I might go back out. Who knows.... another ambulance might spot me. ❤️"

Hi, it's me again. I would like to ask you for a story about how the Red Cross and Deadloop finally confessed their feelings to each other.

The two thoughts while writing this.

Yeah Red Cross and Deadloop are back!

... oh no what have I done

Don't worry things will get better... I hope

Hope you enjoy!

Red Cross and Deadloop confessing?

SFW, ANGST, Romance, Platonic, Mention of injuries, Cybertronian reader

TFP

The team had just found a new energon supply in the area.

It was agreed that this was an almost servos on recollection, given how low supplies were right now.

They would be split into two groups while looking for the energon.

One group led by Deadloop while the other led by Ultra Magnus.

Magnus would reliy mainly on the newest energy scanner while Deadloop relied on  the ‘old way’ of finding energon.

Ratchet and Red Cross would stay at the base.

Red Cross passing Deadloop some extra grenades. Red Cross: “I wish I could go out with you lot.” Deadloop safely storing them in his subspace: “Red we’ve talked about this. You’re not—” Red Cross: “—physically able for this mission. I know Loop. You don’t think I know that everyday when the old limp starts acting up?” Red Cross looks down at her pede with a frown: “The pulses are stronger today… something big going to happen.” Deadloop chuckles a bit: “Yes the biggest score of energon we’ve had all year is just a couple minutes away Red.” Deadloop pats her shoulder: “Take it easy medic.” Red Cross: “And strafe a couple Seekers for me Ace!” He turned back and smiled at her before continuing his way. Red Cross just looks at Deadloop’s frame as it disappears into the groundbridge. Something was wrong… Something was going to go terribly wrong…

The rapid calls on the line came in so fast Neither medic had a chance to properly understand until the blaster fire was heard.

Ratchet soon left through the groundbrigde to aid the others.

Red Cross did her best in reassuring the children that things were going to be just fine.

Her spark clentched tighter every time she looked at her teams’ vitals.

At Deadloop’s vitals.

She had to suppress a cry when she saw the brief ‘offline’ sign above Deadloop’s name.

Finally, she had received orders to open the groundbrigde.

The medic did her best in helping Ratchet get the others into the med bay.

She clung to Deadloops heavily battered frame like a lifeline when he got through.

It was an exhausting couple of hours before Ratchet and Red Cross’s work was done.

Now that the patch work was done, it was just to monitor everyone.

Red Cross going over to Deadloop’s side with the data pad.

Red Cross: “How are we feeling now?” Deadloop grunts a bit: “Feels like I took a Bertha to the chassis.” Red Cross smiles a bit. Smokescreen who is a bit loopy from the anesthesia: “No, you took Megatron to the chassis.” Red Cross freezes and slowly turned to Deadloop. She hoped that he that smile on his face that would tell her that the statement was a lie or the smirk he did when he thought about playing along with a joke. All the medic saw was guilt and realization. Red Cross: “Deadloop.” Deadloop winced a bit at the name. Red Cross: “What is Pipsqueak here talking about?” Deadloop: “…It was the only way to by some time Red—” Red cross: “So you decided that the ONLY option felt was to ram yourself into Megatron!?” Deadloop was getting a bit angry at her tone: “Yeah, and I’d do it again!” Red Cross crosses her arms: “By Primus you will!” Deadloop now standing up from the med slab. Red Cross with her servos out in case the Seeker fell: “Deadloop you’re going to conk out if you don’t lay back—” Deadloop brushes her servos: “I’m fine.” Red Cross: “You are not! You don’t need to have a medical degree to know you are not fine!” Deadloop: “I am! You don’t see me pushing up daisies now do you?” Red Cross: “You keep doing this and you WILL end up terminated by Megatron.” Deadloop: “If it means getting the team an advantage then so be it!” Red Cross: “Stop talking like your life can be easily thrown away!” Deadloop: “Why wouldn’t it be?! Its not like anyone would really care—” Red Cross: “I CARE!” Deadloop: “WHY DO YOU CARE!?” Red Cross: “ITS BECAUSE I LOVE YOU!”

The silence that came after those words was deafening.

Both bots were venting heavily.

The only sounds heard were the sounds of the monitors in the bay.

The realization slowly came to the two, both with different reactions.

Deadloop felt like he had once again rammed into the war lord all over again.

She loved him?

Red Cross, the Autobot who stood by his side all those years… loved him

His best friend… loved him?

But how?

After everything he had done for this war, every bot he had to terminate because of his mission, every dog fights he succeeded in the termination of his enemy.

She loved that mech?

Red Cross felt horror.

She just confessed her feelings.

Her deepest feelings in front of everyone.

She confessed to Deadloop and he wasn’t saying anything.

In a stuttering mess, Red Cross transformed into her alt mode and drove, a bit wobbly, out of the base.

Deadloop didn’t even make an attempt to follow.

Something had indeed gone wrong today…

Something indeed had gone terribly wrong…

Just thinking about Jingyi coming home to Alessio fucking you stupid!!:( With his hand effectively pushing your chest and face smooshed into the couch and your ass up in the air. Alessio just can't seem to get enough of you, of your wines and cries and barely their words of you begging for papi to give you a break!! He'd tell you to speak up and only smart girls get what they want!! Couldn't stop watching the way you tremble, the way your rear slaps back against his pelvis and the way your cunny keeps swallowing his cock!!:(( He'd hear the familiar jingle of keys and the unlocking door before you. His husband, walking in on the two of you, could feel the wave of excitement coursing through him!! And you'll hear his voice speak up.

"Oh, so this must be why no one was answering me~" that's when you realize Jingyi is home. You'll pathetically cry out for him, too fucked out to make out words. Jingyi will saunter over and give his overly confident husband a deep kiss while giving you a pat on the head!!:( You'll whine out at how aroused Alessio sounded asking if Jingyi was going to have a turn. But ofc Jingyi will want more than a turn, he wants to see you cry and squirt all over him. He wants to spank you so hard that it'll hurt to sit. He wants to see you choke, whether it's with his tail or his hand, he wants to see the loopy look on your face when he squeezes the sides of your throat. He wants to claim you as his by sinking his nails and teeth into your precious skin. He wants to put you into every position imaginable while you take his cocks. And Alessio would love to watch.

˗ˏˋ꒰ 🍮 ꒱ rockstar x reader, enigma x reader, villain x reader, mercenary x reader, villain x reader naga x reader, grim reaper x reader, mechanist x reader, cw: rough sex, choking, overstimulation ꒱

oh and did alessio love watching each and every moment of it. jìngyí’s tali snaked around your throat. his body twisting and turning while his two pulsing dicks fuck into you frantically.

one cock pumps and squirts with seed into your greedy cunt, which swallows it all. and with the heaps of load that shoots into you, a small knot has begun to form. the bulge in your tummy no longer being his cock ramming into you.

while the other, takes your ass. slapping against the plush skin, while sending pangs of pleasure through his stomach and looping it up into his brain every time he feels the clench of your tight hole against him.

“take it, — c’mon baby, stop whining s’much you wanted it so bad didn’t you? s- fngh— saw the way you looked at me when I came in” jìngyí would pant, squeezing at your throat with his hand, switching places with the tail.

a deep, raspy groan reverberate off of the the walls when his milky white eyes catch sight of your tongue sticking out of your mouth. saliva dripping off of it each time he squeezes his hand down on your throat and watches the way you squirm and squirt.

“jìng— j— jìn— nhg— m—mah-hhangh”

“reduced to— fuck — spluttering, what a beautiful sight.” he chuckles, gulping down the lump of excitement that had built in his throat.

his cocks pulling out of you before his tail wraps around you and pulls you into a mating press. tail tip swirling around your clit.

all the while, alessio dies a bit each time he has an orgasm. hearing your cries and moans. hand pumping agressively at his throbbing cock that stubbornly stay stiff and hard.

your voice was a symphony to him. each choke, moan, scream of pleasure, whimper and whine. he could put them all into a song and it’d be one of his best pieces yet.

Mizzy’s special twinkle dust ability: Twinkle Track

When Mizzy flies, she can leave a trail of shimmering, translucent roller coaster track behind her, formed from her twinkle dust.

Her flying patterns mimic how a coaster loops and swoops in the air, and she can fly with the speed to match. Dive loops, batwings, corkscrews, helixes, overbanks, immelmanns, sidewinders, cutbacks, cobra rolls, heartline rolls, banana rolls—and sooo many more. Fortunately, this doesn’t make her dizzy (even if the other Nightmarens consider her to be a bit loopy).

Mizzy gains her increased speed in flight by plummeting from the sky like a roller coaster’s first drop. The look of the track that trails behind her can change its style, as there’s tons of different types of track out there!

Like NiGHTS, Mizzy can turn into a roller coaster car—she absolutely LOVES this—and then ride on the track she’s created. Mizzy can’t fly while in her bunny transformation, so she can’t make track while in that form.

Mizzy needs her persona mask to make her twinkle track permanent, as well as create any other additions to her theme park, Mizzyland. Without her mask, Mizzy’s track trail will dissipate behind her—but remain solid long enough to pack a punch! Mizzy can use this trail to block attacks by using it as a barrier or to strike attacks by ramming it into enemies after flying past them. If she fights with her persona mask, Mizzy is able to use her ability to create rides to attack with to a much greater extent, going as far as tangling them into an arena.

Mizzy’s paraloops lead Visitors to Mizzyland, where they’re trapped until they’re scared awake by her rides. Mizzy doesn’t intentionally try to scare them, she just likes creating the wildest coasters possible and hopes they’ll enjoy them on her thrill-seeking level.

Misc: The road to Stormveil

This ain't a case or anything. Just some notes about a mistake I made.

Typically, I like to be slow and methodical, but sometimes I like to throw caution to the wind, indulge in a little chaos. So rather than gradually working my way up to Stormveil, I decided to find a quick and easy route.

Got what I wanted with a strange updraft the voice calls a "Spiritspring." Torrent, my trusty steed, was able to launch himself up the spiritspring and onto the cliff. There were a bunch of giants lumbering around, but I managed to avoid them and spurred Torrent into the woods.

Closer I got, the more I realized why they called it Stormveil. The wind bit so hard at my face, I was grateful I was still wearing my prison mask. It wasn't a clean wind either, so full of grit I could barely see where I was going. There was something foul on that wind, and the closer I got, the stronger the wind and the more foul the smell.

I had to take a rest at the first shack I saw, where I met a man named Bernahl. A stout warrior type, in heavy armor and carrying a greatsword. Asked me if I had faith in the Golden Order, which is the kind of question you don't ask unless you're looking for a particular answer. Couldn't get a read on him, so I answered with the truth: Never really had faith in anything, and not about to start now. He told me that answer could lead to trouble as a Tarnished, but he said it like he had experience.

Got back on the road and made it all the way back to where I started, on the other side of the gate, before I had to stop in another shack. This one was occupied too, with a girl who introduced herself as Roderika, after some prodding. Seemed out of it and loopy, like she'd had a terrible shock. There was some sense to her rambling, at least. Talking about grafting and a spider made me think of the thing at the chapel, but it was when she mentioned the "white-mask" that I really took notice. Seems the bastard set her up. After watching her companions slaughtered, she's broken in a way that won't be fixed by me pressing her for details. I briefly considered getting justice for her from Varré, but I'm not here for justice. I'm here for answers, nothing more.

Left Roderika behind and headed up to Stormveil. Welcoming party started pelting me with bombs from a distance, but with Torrent's speed, no way they could tag me. I definitely didn't get blown up even once, and pretty soon I was on the final approach to Stormveil.

Then I was stopped in my tracks by a giant, hairy old man calling himself Margit the Fell. I don't know who he is, but he just jumped down from a rampart what seemed like a half mile away, and decided to make things difficult for me.

No need to get into the blow by blow. I ate dirt. He served me my own ass. That shillelagh of his hit like a battering ram, and he moved faster than he had any right to. If I'm ever gonna get into this castle, I'm clearly gonna have to contend with him, and I've got a lot of work to do before that's even a possibility.

At least Melina showed up shortly thereafter to offer me another boon. Said she'd been testing me, and I'd somehow passed. She took me to a place called the Roundtable Hold, and, well, that's a whole other journal entry.

Hey, Brother do you still believe in one another?

Words like violence Break the silence

Come crashing in into my little world

Can't you understand oh my little boy

Pleasures remain So does the pain

You wished to be deaf—wanting, if you weren't chained, to stab repeatedly something into your eardrums and making them bleed—never wanting to hear your own voice—the banshee like screams of horror and pain which came ripping, like a claw, through your throat—ever again.

The sounds of skin slapping against skin, his fawning breath with his heavy breathing and grunts down your face—next to your ear—and your own disgusting shameful moans—which are mixed with the cries and screams of begging him to stop—just stop—and the breathless gaps of whimpering in between—are an cursed reminding melody in your mind.

Blood—your blood, so crimson and rich in colour—which, now dried and sticky on your skin, leaked—beside the white sperm, out from your below and leaving a puddle to lay in behind.

Daiki wasn't gentle (and never would be) like Heiji—whenever you both had sex, when that certain magnetic pull came over the both of you and bringing forth a passionate lust—no, Daiki was mercilessly and brutal.

Daiki had rammed, without warning and any preparations, inside you and with such a force it got you bleeding—but he didn't stopped, thrusting even deeper into you that you thought........what did you thought?

Ever since Daiki had you locked up—in sense of being bound, chained, to an room you couldn't escape out form—your head feels like a constant static, buzzing with way too loud sounds of crashing and hissing—a chalkboard scratching in your brain it was.

Consciousness comes and goes from you—barely awake during most times to really gather a proper sense of thoughts and neither aware of the surroundings—stuck in a dreamless—sometimes haunting—limbo of surrealism with its absurdity of illusion and loss for the reality you should feel to be in.

Minds so full of a daze, you believed first you're shitfaced drunk—only having come close to it, during a Disco night with Sachiko—and that's why you could barely remember in gathering your own thoughts.

But even so, if that would be the case, then why is this loopy feeling—which spins your head like a carousel around—still present?

A pressuring pain hammers in the back of your head and echoing through your skull—and even with this loopy feeling, you knew a Migraine was coming.

Migraines either coming in a hurricane full force or slow crawling towards you—whichever way it was, the immense pressuring pain—which could make you black out sometimes—was always the same and without any sort of painkillers or ice cold baths to help reduce it, the pain was unbearable to even consider to be awake at all.

Sometimes it got so bad—when your ears starts to feel clouded up with cotton, a shiver down your spine and the sensation of numb tingling through your body—you had the urge to vomit and cruel up.

And although knowing how awful your migraines are, you rather take this suffering—than the pain Daiki inflicts you with.

Daiki says it's love and you beg to differ—this is anything but certainly not love, because what he does to you is a twisted thing of humanity rottenness.

~~~

Unlocking your chains, Daiki hoisted you up and carried you into the bathroom downstairs. Sure, whenever he does it—quite frequently as Daiki likes, what he always would say without being asked, his dear husband nicely clean after rounds of endless love making—you could made a run for it, but with how loopy and tired you felt, it wouldn't be far.

»I know, I know, dear. You having a headache, but I'm here and got what you need.« hushed Daiki after he draws a bath—with too much bubbles in it and a strong fragrance smell—and sats you in.

Pouring a cup of water—the temperatures way too hot for your liking, skin melting it feels—over you and tilting your head back, Daiki shows the bright orange pill which he holds up.

»See? And I'll give it to you, if you giving me, your perfect husband, a kiss~« to prove his point, Daiki places the pill in between his lips.

Staring blankly at Daiki, you weighed this generous offer out—Daiki wasn't really a kind person and when he does such small gestures of kindness to you, it always end up with another stab of pain afterwards.

Kissing Daiki on your own—and not having his lips being forced on yours—would feel as if you really had cheated on Heiji now—it's already bad enough that you, unwillingly, slept with Daiki and this alone makes you ashamed enough and guilt ridden—and you couldn't do that to him.

Would Heiji even still want to be together with you, when you eventually break free from this starting of hell? Probably not.

»Oh?« was all Daiki said and in a flash of seconds, forced you underwater.

Your legs kicked up, splashing water everywhere. Mouth agape in a gaps of shock, letting the water inflate your lungs.

There's definitely a difference between trying to drown yourself and getting drowned by someone else—and the latter sparked more fear in you—as it resurfaced back the memory of when you were a child and accidentally slipping into a park pond, which also makes you hesitate to swim and step into water ever since.

Back at the surface, above the water, you coughed and coughed—getting the water out your lungs.

You wonder, if you somehow managed to kill yourself while being here—it wouldn't be too much of a disappointment for the others.

Every now and then I get a little bit tired of listening to the sound of my tears

Every now and then I get a little bit nervous that the best of all the years have gone by

Once upon a time I was in Love

Now I'm only falling apart

Total Eclipse of the heart

[unsoundedcomic]

Considering Timofey, does he as a first light construct retain any long term memories, or does his allocated memory bank constantly rewrite itself. Surely he must retain at least some memories of Bastion and some probably would be stored indefinitely. Also would it be possible for Timofey to use first material pymarics to store memories within them and choose and pick what to retain and keep stored in those pymarics? Also how much space does the full personality construct take in his materials?

Timofey had a base personality that Bastion did not initially have complete specific control over. He was trying to recreate his dead older sister. With his own unique abilities, a lot of work, and some help from Lady Ilganyag, Bastion had managed to locate and retrieve what he's always considered an impressive amount of her memories from the khert. He filled in the (many) gaps with other pieces he thought suited her, and then installed certain algorithms, logic, and parameters that he hoped would ultimately result in the woman he remembered.

But then he switched Timofey on, so to speak, and it wasn't his sister at all.

That's not to say Timofey doesn't have things in common with her, particularly those salvaged memories that absolutely were hers. These and the other memories that make up his personality are constants. Long term. He always remembers Bastion, parts of their childhood, certain other things. They form a base OS of sorts.

In addition to it, he has something like RAM. Operating memory. And a degree of empty space kept for longer term storage. This all eventually fills up and Bastion has to manually dump it. It's a delicate, time-consuming process, and he tends to put it off until Timofey starts going loopy; like waiting too long to get the oil changed in your car. Bastion has no way to sort all these memories. Timofey gets reset when it happens, and then has to be brought back up to speed. Total pain in the ass.

External memory expansions would be sweet, but Bastion did not design Timofey in that way. He was designing his sister, mind you, so he wanted a construct that would remain as free from ghost infection as he could manage. No inputs for external memories other than his own senses; helps keep the phantoms out.

Wisdom teeth out, finally not as loopy as I was yesterday. I think I'll list out my favourite things my mom got on video while I was loopy on anesthetics.

Number 1 on the list: I have to say the funniest thing was that even though I couldn't drink without stuff dribbling down my chin and not knowing where I was, I smiled very widely and said "felix" as in, fix it felix jr. Of course, even on the heaviest of drugs, felix lives in my head rent free.

Number 2: we got me getting over excited about scrambled eggs. The nurse mentioned I could have them at some point and I smiled and said "egg" which made everyone laugh, then I started CHANTING "EGG EGG EGG EGG" loudly

Number 3: asking my mom repeatedly if I was still handsome and her not giving me a straight answer because she was trying to figure out how to get out of the hospital. Getting into the "moving room" which was an elevator. The elevator having a mirror, so I gasp when I see myself and practically yell "MAMA LOOK I AM STILL HANDSOME"

Number 4: telling my mom not to open the doors with me?? "I don't like being a battering ram MAMA, it's not NICE"

Number 5: my mom telling me to hold on tight to the wheel chair she was wheeling me on and instead, I put my hands in the air and yell "ROLLERCOASTER WEE"

Number 6: CRYING, because they didn't let me say goodbye to my teeth. Getting upset they didn't let me keep them because "that's my property, I grew em myself!"

Number 7: remembering the fresh start au but in my head, its REAL. so I start UGLY crying and yelling about how "I JUST WANT FELIX AND TAMMY TO BE HAPPY, MAMA!" and her being so concerned and telling me "honey, they're married and..and not real" and me crying harder because "THEYRE REAL TO ME MAMA"

Bonus: I realised I had a lisp so I started repeating "Turbotastic" and "have some candy"

I'm so glad my mom got this on video cause I remember NONE of it.

[regret-breathing]

she lives on a farm with her sheep, her chickens, her goats, and a number of other creatures. she keeps pet rodents and spiders in terrariums. in the two story house there are multiple rooms of just her taxidermy collection, almost all her own work. she wears her hair long, her wide, haughty features complimenting her playful eyes and beautiful skin perfectly. shes like a queen, or a witch. but shes a macrobiologist. she doesnt live anywhere near me. i want to wrap her in what little warmth i have and learn how she takes her eggs. i want to learn to live with her five dogs, or rather, learn how much benadryl i can take before i get too loopy to love her how she deserves. she’s always warm, even though she texts like she’s ten years older than she is. i’ve only heard her voice one time. i want to listen to it for at least six hours daily. i don’t know what it is about her that hit me like a truck but now i’m just happy to be roadkill.

i’m awkward over text, especially with people i can’t help but love. she’s hard to talk to because i get too in my head. i feel like she’s going to slip away before i get to tell her how much she means to me. we’ve known each other less than three months but i want to cook at least 400 meals for her. i wish it were acceptable to tell someone that. to tell someone you only met recently that you think you could spend forever learning new ways to make her smile. her house sounds like heaven. i don’t normally like dogs. but for her? five sounds doable.

she says when she dreams she has wings most of the time. when i asked what her wings were like she told me, black and bright blue almost like a blue jay, but with color placement like an owl’s. my knees buckled a bit and i could hardly breathe for a second. she loves dragons, draws them all the time. i save every picture of a doodle she sends me. but still her wings have feathers. she says she dreams so vividly that she can feel the breeze in every one of them as she catches the wind. i don’t know how to tell her that’s what it feels like when she tells me something new about her.

she painted a door in her house, blue mostly with strips of colors in every hue. when i told her it looked like the bark of my favorite tree and showed her some pictures, i couldn’t believe my luck. i cant help but picture seeing that door every day and thinking of that little bit of serendipity.

she says not to get too attached to the ram. i’ve never seen him in person but i don’t think i can keep to that. he’s so sweet, and soft, and named like my best friends brother. sometimes, she says, he tries to escape the pen, and she has to wrangle him and sit on him. she’s stronger than people think, she says. i can’t imagine underestimating her. i think if i was honest with her about myself, about everything inside me, she might not get scared off. she talks like there’s a lot she doesn’t tell everyone also. she talks like she would understand. but still im scared to tell her i feel so strongly for her so soon. if i miss my chance i might regret it forever. but i keep seeing posts with that quote, don’t die not knowing, and thats starting to scare me more than losing her.

i think i need to wait a little longer. to wait until her car is fixed and we can see each other for real. i want to make her something, but i don’t have any blue yarn. i want to make her gloves, because they’d go so nicely with her tattoos. i want to learn new stitches, so i can make her something really pretty. i haven’t taught myself any new ones since i was a kid, but what i can make now isn’t good enough. i know that’s not how it works, that a gift from a friend is perfect by nature of its existence, but she deserves the world, and even if i can’t give it to her, i can at least give her something in stockinette.

• Loopy doesn’t always have Murder Drone feet. The “toes” can transform into wheels for her to skate around.

• Ripley can grow spikes on her body. She can proceed to turn into a rolling and bulldozing ball of death, and Ripley has the ability to ram her head onto opponents or walls: the head is pretty durable so she doesn’t get hurt by the impact.

• Ilya‘s body can bounce light to (some) medium projectiles back to its owner, but the Healing Councilor is vulnerable to heavy objects, which would cause great damage to his skull (otherwise the only body part that keeps him alive and conscious).

• Jasmine’s main choice of weapon is a flower whip with thorns hidden inside the petals. I wouldn’t fall for her soft demeanor if I were you.

ꕥ — WELCOME TO EXO COSMIA, ELPHELT VALENTINE. 🌑

ꕥ  — OOC INFORMATION;

name / alias: Blues age: 28 pronouns: they/he ooc contact: @au_deer on twittery  other characters in xc: Yoshiya "Joshua" Kiryu, Mithra, Shidou Kirisaki

ꕥ  — IC INFORMATION;

name: Elphelt Valentine age: Unknown; physically somewhere in her 20s pronouns: she/her series: Guilty Gear canon point: post Xrd Sign app triggers: apocalyptic scenarios

personality:

Upbeat! Cheerful! Refined(?)! Elegant(?)! Elphelt is the embodiment of all this and more as… the perfect bride(???)!!!

… Okay, maybe she has a bit to go, but she's doing her best over here!

Elphelt's sunny attitude and abundance of energy alongside her delusions of romantic love can make her quite the handful. There isn't an adult safe from her fantasies, and while she'll never genuinely go through with the marriage if rejected, she'll certainly dream about it. Yes truly, her flights of fancy can get so fanciful they cross into the absurd, but not just for romance. Elphelt loves love, wishing deeply to experience it for herself.

She's not supposed to be able to feel love, you see, but recently she's found proof that maybe, just maybe… she can.

Despite her loopy tendencies, Elphelt can have a surprisingly grounded grasp on the world at times. She's an optimist, but she knows what it's like to go through hardships. Because of this, she never hesitates to extend a helping hand to others. Sure this might get her burned, but that's a price worth paying if it means someone else is saved!

something your muse struggles with: Controlling her emotions. A lot of experiences are still new to her and she feels many, many things strongly. She also tends to get far too attached too quickly and becomes very pushy

your muse’s greatest strength: Her empathy and willingness to help others. Elphelt's heart is big enough for everyone!

history / background:

Once upon a time, Elphelt did not exist…

… And then, one day, she did!

Valentines originate from the Backyard, a place of magic that exists behind the scenes. Created by her "mother" the Universal Will, Elphelt was imbued with a mission and released unto the world. That being said, she didn't know what the mission was, she only knew that she had to find someone and do something and that she had emotions for some reason.

Oh well! That just means that she got to live a normal life for a while. During this time, she ended up getting engaged to a death metal singer! Wow! Good for her! She was all set to be married, too, but on the day of her wedding, the partying became so intense that her programming overloaded and she realized who she was. Unfortunately, this meant she didn’t get married :(

But, she also didn’t want to follow her orders, so she next did her best to try and find Sol Badguy, but she ended up finding the wrong guy (Ky Kiske). Oh well. Said guy also happened to be the king of an entire nation so she was detained. However! She was able to correctly predict that her sister would be released and wreak havoc. That landed her in the position of having to help Sol, Ky, and the others in order to stop her. So, not wanting anyone to get hurt, she helped! After this, not all of them trusted her still (Sol) but at least she did the right thing and her sister was taken into custody.

After this, with Ramlethal (her sister) in custody, she and Sin (son of Ky, was also there to stop Ram) decided to help her have fun and feel more comfortable while in custody. Thanks to these efforts, Ram started to feel more emotions (yay!) but the fun couldn’t last…

The Conclave (the world’s government, full of bad guys) had decided to revive… Justice! (*crickets*) (please see the entirety of Guilty Gear’s backstory for why this is bad)

So, Elphelt, naturally, wanted to help them as well! She was placed as defense in order to fend off some of the attackers. All was going well, but then uh…

She kinda… had her programming reactivated? Revealing that she was actually a sleeper agent this entire time? And then, no longer feeling any of her kindness and empathy, she attacked everyone and nearly destroyed them all? And she was actually supposed to destroy all of humanity too???

Thankfully, Sol was able to stop her (and he said some really nice things too! Good job Sol). But, unfortunately, she ended up being kidnapped by her “Mother”, the Universal Will. Um… well, hopefully she’ll be okay.

(Spoilers: she was okay)

powers / abilities: 

Power Nullification: Elphelt is able to stop the power of her sister Ramlethal in its tracks. It’s currently unknown whether this ability would work on anyone else

Power Limit Removed: A state Elphelt enters where her fighting limiter is taken off. She becomes far stronger magically and physically, capable of being a threat to the world. Unfortunately, this also overrides her emotions and reverts her back to the cold, unfeeling programming most Valentines are known to have. Kind of a double edged sword.

inherent abilities: 

Valentine Composition: Elphelt isn’t exactly a human: she’s far stronger, faster, and capable of using magic

items / weapons: 

Guns: One time a while back, Elphelt broke into a research facility and stole a bunch of magical guns that fire powerful magical bullets. Due to their purpose of overriding magic nullification, they will generally work even when other types of magic would not

Ms. Traveiller: A shotgun. Has a bow on it!

Ms. Confille: A… something gun. Has a rose on it!

Handgun: unnamed, but it has a cute little clover charm on it!

Bouquet: A really big bouquet of roses that Elphelt keeps strapped to her back. It contains a plethora of weapons including:

Strawberry bombs

Big cake cutter

Combat Roses

Cannon: A cannon that shoots magical cannonballs! Fairly self explanatory really

Cupid’s Bullet: Magical bullets that don’t kill… instead, they make whoever is struck by them fall in love with Elphelt! Yes this is a pretty strong ability, but don’t worry, she’s responsible!

Marriage Contracts: You know, in case someone wants to get married to her! She’s nothing if not prepared

starting ability: um… none <3

starting item: Bouquet

extra: 

No more heterosexuality, Elphelt will propose to anyone regardless of gender

She actually really likes death metal? Her theme is a banger btw. Stream Marionette

Kingdom Hearts: The Brightest of Hearts - Chapter 1: The Last Keyblade of Light

Sora suddenly woke up and found himself in a strange town. There wasn't actually anything weird about the town per say except for the fact that he wasn't supposed to be here. His memory was fuzzy because of it all happening so suddenly. What he could remember his home destiny Islands getting swallowed up by some weird dark cloud and his friends Riku and Kairi were-

"Wait! Riku! Kairi! where are you?!" Sora remembered his friends getting taken away by some strange people in black hoods. Perhaps they did the same to him hence why he's in a place he doesn't recognize. If he was correct, maybe Kairi and Riku were somewhere close. Fueled by a mixture of hope and desperation Sora ran across town hoping to find the black hooded people or at least someone that could help him. Sora ran and ran through the town passing houses, bridges, and gates. Eventually Sora stopped to catch his breath, Sora looked around and noticed something abnormal.

"Wait, where is everyone?" Sora looked all around town calling out to whoever would answer back but no one did. No noise, no people, no animals, not even bugs the entire town was deserted. Sora was so confused; his home was attacked by a dark cloud. His friends were kidnapped by people in black hoods. Now he was in a fancy town populated by ghosts; nothing was making any sense.

Just when Sora thought nothing else could surprise him; suddenly, someone had suddenly rammed into him by accident. Sora fell to the ground and felt something stab into him in the back. He got off of whatever was hurting him onto to see an overgrown golden key. What? What is this weird key? and why did I- WAIT! MORE IMPORTANTLY! A PERSON!

"Hey, excuse me! Do you know where I-?!"

"What are you doing kid?! Run!"

"There's nowhere left to run." the man Sora wanted to question turned pale out of overwhelming fear. Sora turned to the source of the second voice and was shocked at the sight. It was one of the black hoods that took Riku and Kairi, or at least someone dressed like them; not that it mattered. Sora knew that this guy had answers to what was going on. Sora got up and wanted to question the man, but the hooded man zoomed past him with incredible speed. The other man quickly got up and tried running away, however the hooded man proved to be faster and slashed the man.

The hooded man did not use a sword but instead a large black key with red detail lines and a handle detailed in yellow and blue. The innocent man then seemingly glitched out of existence leaving just his heart. His heart was a large red crystal shaped like a heart. The heart was quickly swallowed up by darkness and turned into a little shadow monster wearing a ridiculous looking helmet and had red claws.

"You see that boy? Your next, and your precious guardians can't save you now." Sora was horrified by what he saw, a man was turned into a shadow looking monster thing right in front of him. Sora then looked again at the weapon the hooded man used and sure enough it was a giant key, extremely similar to the one he fell on. Sora then quickly turned back, grabbed the giant golden key, and faced the man while holding the key like a blade.

"Stop! Don't you dare try anything!"

"What? You have a Keyblade of Light?! grrr! why didn't the Heartless do anything?!"

"Huh?" Sora then heard strange swishing noises behind him. Out of fear. he slowly and cautiously turned around to see a growing army of tiny Heartless monsters forming. These creatures had what looked like loopy elongated ears, or maybe they were strange, crooked horns. These Heartless looked weaker than the one that was once an innocent man but that didn't deny that there were hundreds of them.

"You don't want to go back to the darkness in-between worlds, right?! then get this brat and bring me his heart as well as his keyblade! I will go and secure the rest of this area from those pesky guardians!" The hooded man then walked away while more Shadow Heartless formed from seemingly nowhere. The Shadow heartless both surrounded and slowly crept closer to Sora. Sora should have been scared but instead he was frustrated. The only one who could know where his friends were was getting away.

"Wait! I saw you on the beach of Destiny Island! Where are Riku and Kairi!"

"Destiny Island? That's not in this world. If you're really a Keyblade wielder of Light, then you should know that. Besides..." The Heartless with the helmet kicked Sora's stomach forcing him to the ground. Sora grunted in pain, but his frustration was quickly turned to fear when he saw the surrounding Shadow Heartless getting closer and closer.

"You have many, MANY more things to worry about. Do try to at least go down with some glory, rather than the weakling you so inclined to display yourself as." The hooded man continued to walk away as the heartless blocked him out of Sora's view. Sora yelled at the heartless to stay back, but the Heartless didn't listen, instead they continued to advance. One of the Shadow Heartless jumped toward Sora to strike him down. Out of instincts, Sora slashed the creature with the Keyblade, it instantly burst into dark nothingness.

Sora was confused but quickly decided to test his curiosity by slashing another dangerously close Heartless, again it burst into dark nothingness. Sora couldn't help but smile, even though he lost most of the time he always enjoyed his sword fights with Riku. Now was the perfect time to put all that sparring and training to good use. With ease Sora slashed through the Heartless and dodged their attacks. It took quite a while, but he managed to get rid of them all.

Sora felt so pumped up from his flawless victory that he wasn't afraid anymore. However, his joyful smile turned into a frown when he saw the last Heatless. It was the Soldier Heartless that was once an innocent man, Sora pondered on what to do. It was obviously a stronger Heartless but that didn't deny that it was once a person. Sora wasn't sure if he should put it out of its misery or try to find a way to turn him back to normal.

Before Sora could make up his mind, the Heartless ran away and behind it more Heartless. Same as before, they started rising from the shadows and blocking all ways from Sora, effectively surrounding him. Sora felt somewhat relieved for not having to make a tough decision; on the other hand, he was annoyed since his previous victory against the Heartless now seemed pointless. Sora was slowly getting surrounded but instead of getting scared he just sighed in annoyance.

***

After almost an hour of traveling through the town and slashing through what seemed like hundreds of the Heartless, Sora finally got rid of them all. Sora finally took a breath after all the exhausting work, he then looked around at his surroundings. It looked like a town square but like the rest of the town there was no one else, except for the hooded man. Sora wasn't sure if it was the same guy or just someone who dressed like him. At this point, Sora just hoped anyone dressed like that had answers to what was going on.

"Hey, you there! Where are my friends Riku and Kairi! Where is my home island!"

"... I already told you. Destiny Island isn't on this world... As for this Riku, that name does sound familiar, but not as familiar as the name Kairi. Tell me, what is your relation to the princesses of Heart?"

"Princesses of Heart?"

"Tch, so you really know nothing. How can you be a Keyblade wielder of Light knowing nothing of the multiverse?" The man then held out his hand and a dark orb formed. The dark orb then manifested into the same keyblade he had earlier. Sora couldn't help but grit his teeth in anger at the sight. That was the same weapon used to turn that innocent man into a Heartless.

"I heard from master Ansem that when a keyblade wielder defeats or even destroys other keyblade wielders, they gain a chance of being able to wield and control more than one keyblade. The more keyblade wielders defeated the more chances you get another keyblade and even more after that! What do you say kid? Wanna be a stepping stone for my path to ever growing power?"

"... Just because I have no idea what you're talking about doesn't mean I'm going to stand by and let you hurt more people! You turned that man into a monster! Your buddies hurt my friends and did something to my island! If I can't get answers on what happened to my friends or my home! Then I will at least make sure you can't hurt anyone else!"

"Hahaha! Spoken like a real Guardian of Light! Perhaps you can give me the challenge I've been looking for!" The hooded man then charged forward, Sora knew what was coming but only barely blocked the strike by the last second. Sora knew how to defend against a pro thanks to his fights with Riku. However, from the strike alone, Sora was reminded that his duels with Riku were child's play compared to a real fight like this. The hooded man smiled, realizing the massive gap in their power and quickly put all his strength into his keyblade, pushing Sora down with the overwhelming pressure.

Sora grunted in pain, However the force just as quickly went away leaving Sora confused. Sora looked up and saw the hooded man in the air and only seconds from striking him down. Thankfully Sora dodged but only by a second and even that wasn't enough to keep his leg from getting hit by the keyblade. Sora fell to the ground and groaned in pain. His body was glitching out as he felt like he was being torn in two by an invisible force. Then the keyblade he was holding started glowing and his being started turning back to normal. Sora then got up and felt himself to ensure he was still all there.

"What?! But even Keyblade Wielders of Light can't withstand a strike from a Keyblade of Darkness! Grrr! Fine then! If you're so strong, then I just need to weaken you first! Soldiers! Rise!" The Soldier Heartless from before rose up from the hooded man's shadow. Afterwards the shadow grew bigger and more of the same Heartless rose up. All of them quickly surrounded Sora.

"hahaha! Ordinary Heartless are child's play compared to soldier Heartless! A rookie like you won't stand a chance against this many!" Sora just grunted and slashed at the closest Soldier Heartless. However, to Sora's shock, it dodged quickly. While he was distracted another Soldier Heartless clawed Sora in the back. Sora yelled in pain, it almost felt like he was violently injected with poison. Sora suddenly felt enraged and slashed at the heartless behind him. He managed to damage it but not destroy it, Sora yelled in anger glaring at the Heartless but then realized that he was unusually angry. Sora then fixed his posture and took a breath to focus properly on his enemies.

What are you doing? Don't stop! Let the darkness fester within you and give you power!

Sora was scared of the strange voice he was hearing in his mind. He shook his head and started slashing at the Soldier Heartless again. This time, he managed to slash faster and with more precision.

Why waste your time destroying the heartless when you can rule over them! Let the darkness give you power and-

"Stop it! I'm not gonna rely on the darkness! I saw what it did to my island!" Sora then slashed another soldier Heartless leaving only four of them left. Then the keyblade started to glow in a golden light.

"I don't know or care about any of this darkness stuff! I just wanna find my friends! WITH ALL MY HEART!" Sora then slashed his keyblade and the light formed a slash that outstretched and hit the four remaining soldiers Heartless destroying them instantly.

"WHAT?! HOW DID YOU DO THAT?! YOUR JUST A ROOKIE! WHO IS YOUR MASTER?! TELL ME, YOU BRAT!" The hooded man then resummoned his Keyblade of Darkness and ran toward Sora ready to strike him down. Sora felt an unusual amount of energy flowing through him. He should have been scared or at the very least confused but instead he was getting excited. Sora blocked the strike with ease, now the hooded man was the one struggling. Try as he may, the hooded man couldn't move Sora back an inch. The hooded man then backed up, rushed Sora again. This time he consistently slashed again and again, only for Sora to perfectly block it all. Sora was smiling at first but now he felt himself getting tired very quickly. Sora knew he needed to end this fight as soon as possible.

Sora quickly noticed after a few more strikes that the hooded man seemed a lot slower than before. At first Sora thought it was because he was getting tired too, but he soon realized it was actually because his perception was faster. Sora waited for the hooded man to raise his keyblade again; once the opportunity arose Sora slashed the hooded man in the stomach. The hooded man yelled in pain then quickly swung his blade to slash Sora. Sora however had already gained distance from the hooded man and smirked at him. The hooded man was furious and charged at Sora while swinging his keyblade again and again fueled solely by rage. Sora managed to dodge the attacks; he also couldn't help but frown in disappointment due to how lacking in skills the hooded man was.

Sora couldn't tell if it was due to overconfidence in strength, lack of training, or because of his injuries. Regardless, the hooded man was waving the keyblade around as if it was a hundred-pound club. Granted his speed with it was impressive but his movements were so simple and easy to read. Once Sora saw an opening, he slashed at the hooded man's arm, then his chest, and finally he slashed down on his entire being causing him to fade into darkness.

***

In a dark room of Hollow Bastion Hades, Jafar, Ursula, Captain Hook, and Oogie were in a circle looking into a magic caldron allowing them to see the progress of their recent invasion. They were expecting the keyblade wielder of darkness to be successful but instead they only witnessed his demise.

"WHAT?! how did some brat just defeat a keyblade wielder of darkness?!"

"What does it matter? He was a new recruit, a weakling, so it's not like we lost much."

"For once Jafar is right! we still have several more keyblade wielders of darkness, and hundreds of heartless! That little brat is nothing more than our future Waterboy."

"You imbeciles! Remember what Master Ansem said! Our Keyblades of Darkness can control the Darkness itself, but the Keyblades of Light can repel and even lock away the Darkness! That boy is holding one right now!"

"Wow, calm down there, Hooky! He still just a little twerp at the end of the day, I doubt we even need the heartless to take him down. Why I bet just one scare from me, and his heart will just jump right out and into my hand! Hahaha!"

"That's enough, all of you." Hades, Jafar, Ursula, Captain Hook, and Oogie all turned to see Maleficent as she entered the circle. She looked down in the magic caldron and saw Sora as well as his keyblade of light. she starred for a short while only to just huff in amusement.

"How peculiar, a child with a keyblade? and a keyblade of light no less. I was led to believe the guardians of light were extinct. Yet one remains, right before our very eyes. Master Ansem will surely be displeased to know of this, which is why we will be disposing of him quickly." Suddenly a girl in a black hooded cloak ran up to the six villains and bowed down to them. She was normal sized, unlike the rest of them.

"What is it?"

"Uh, two things lady Maleficent, first Master Ansem will be out for quite some time. Second, the draining process of the first princess is already complete, should we dispose of her now?"

"... No if she is here, then that other boy is too, yes? What was his name again?"

"Uh, Riku my lady."

"Yes Riku... I believe he may be the champion we are looking for, so allow him to enter the castle unharmed. I will be the one to watch over him. As for the girl, do not dispose of her. She is Riku's friend, and he will need the motivation to fight for our cause. Instead have someone monitor her closely, if she ever shows signs of waking up then drain more of her essence to put her back to sleep."

"But- but Lady Maleficent! There's no way she'll wake up and even if she does, to drain more life force will make her entire being unstable, she could split into a vengeful and powerful Heartless as well as an uncontrollable Repli-" Maleficent then hit her cane on the floor which scared the hooded girl to shut up. The loud noise actually scared the other villains though Ursula and Oogie just laughed it off.

"You say it's impossible yet you still fear the alternative? What would it matter if the alternative were to arise regardless? You're a Keyblade wielder of Darkness surely you can handle it, or are you a leech who latches onto the Dark Army for your own benefit? Hoping that when things go array then we will take the fall for you?"

"Ah! no my lady, I was just concerned is all! Please forgive me for being foolish!" The hooded girl then practically slammed her head to the ground in front of Maleficent.

"Enough of your whining, you have your orders now follow them! Oh and of course, when Master Ansem is away, I am to be known as Master Maleficent!" The hooded girl then quickly got up, bowed again, and then ran out of the room as fast as she could.

"Oh wait one more thing." However she had only just touched the door out of the room, before Jafar had stopped her.

"Uh- um, y- yes Lord Jafar?"

"My dear, what was that majestic heartless abomination you were working on? That one that can take itself apart and each part can act as its own individual heartless?"

"Oh uh, yes I call it the Guard Armor."

"Yes! That one! After you've completed your tasks you will go to Traverse Town and use it to destroy this pesky boy." The hooded girl seemed shocked but simply bowed and left the room.

"Oh no fair! I wanted to use my Trickmaster to get the little twerp!"

"Zip it you literal bag of worms, you can use that monster when we invade Wonderland, for now let us see the potential of our underlings."

***

Sora smiled at first, but his body suddenly started feeling heavy. He was so tired; it was to the point he had to use his keyblade to help hold himself up. Sora looked back at where the hooded man disappeared. Sora felt a hint of guilt, he was under attack and fueled by adrenaline, so he didn't think of the consequences at the time. Now that the battle was over he wondered, is the hooded man dead? Did he just disappear somewhere? Why did he attack Sora? What exactly are the Heartless? What is even going on? Sora had so many questions but no way to answer any of them, especially now that the hooded man was gone.

"Not bad, you defeated a Keyblade wielder of Darkness." Sora then looked up to see an older boy with brown hair walking toward him.

"He was still just a rookie though, and by the looks of it so are you. Who's your master, and how did they get their hands on a Keyblade of Light?"

"Ugh... Not another one... Listen, I don't know anything about the darkness... or this light stuff... I'm just-"

"You don't know about the Darkness or Light? ... Then you don't deserve that Keyblade. Hand it over now!" Leon then revealed a large sword and pointed it right at Sora. Sora grunted out of exhaustion and raised his keyblade toward him.

"Grrr... You are not the only jerk... I encountered today... That takes things... That isn't theirs!" Sora rushed forward toward Leon who raised his sword to strike down Sora. However, Sora anticipated this and made a direct strike for his chest. Or at least that would have happened if Leon hadn't stopped the strike by catching his keyblade with his bare hands.

"Like I said, you don't deserve the keyblade." Leon then hit Sora on the head with the hilt of his sword knocking him out instantly. Leon then grabbed the keyblade and walked over to where the hooded man was defeated. All that remained of him was his Keyblade of Darkness, so Leon slashed at the keyblade destroying it but by doing so the Keyblade of Light started glowing out of control.

"Hey Leon! The Heartless are starting to retreat! How are things going on your- What?!" Yuffie stopped dead in her tracks in shock as she saw Leon holding an actual Keyblade of Light. Leon struggled to keep the keyblade under control, but its power proved to be greater as it suddenly vanished into light.

"What? What happened?"

"Leon? Did you just destroy it?"

"No! Of course not! I mean, I couldn't have." Just then a bright golden light reformed in Sora's hand slowly forming itself back into the Keyblade.

"What? Leon, who is that? Why is he sleeping right now? And how does he have a Keyblade of Light?" Leon just sighed in frustration as he had no answers.

"I really wish Master Merlin was here."

***

Sora woke up in a large bed, in a room he didn't recognize. Though what he did recognize was when he looked to his right and saw a short pretty girl with short hair.

"K- Kairi?!"

"Kairi? I think I heard that name before." As Sora's vision cleared, he saw that the girl was actually a little taller than Kairi, had black hair, and wore shorter clothing that Kairi would wear.

"Huh? Who are you?"

"Me? I'm the great Ninja Yuffie!"

"Wait a ninja?! A real Ninja?! Riku, we found a... oh..."

"Hm? What's wrong kid?"

"I- I just don't understand what's going on anymore, what happened to my friends? What happened to my home? Where am I? Who are those jerks in the black hoods? What are the weird shadow creatures? What's even going on?"

"*sigh* Now do you see why I'm just as confused as you?" Yuffie and Sora looked to the source of the voice: Leon. He was leaning on the wall, holding the keyblade.

"Hey! You're that jerk that tried to take my Keyblade!"

"The fact that you asked those questions shows why you don't deserve this keyblade." Leon then slashed the keyblade around with great precision and accuracy. Sora couldn't help but stare in awe. He and Riku were sparred many times with their wooden swords but never had he seen a true master of the sword. The awe quickly turned into confusion when the Keyblade disappeared into light. Suddenly a light formed in Sora's hand and quickly formed into the keyblade.

"Hm, yet the keyblade still chooses you. Did your master not teach you anything about a Keyblade?"

"What? I don't have a master, this keyblade just appeared when-" Sora suddenly was able to remember the events of his island being swallowed up by darkness.

"When my island was attacked by the darkness..." Yuffie and Leon looked at each other in shock as if they both had realized something mind-blowing.

"Maybe that will clear some things up. Tell us what happened on your island."

"I- I was anxious to get off the island with Riku and Kairi, we were gonna go on adventures to new islands together, so I wanted to see them. I was so excited I couldn't wait, so I snuck out and ran over to the beach but... these weird shadow creatures started showing up everywhere, I tried hitting them with my sword, but it did nothing."

"Heartless, those things you're talking about are the Heartless."

"... Yeah, your buddy in the black hood said the same thing."

"He's not my buddy and thankfully it seems he's not yours either. go on." Sora looked at Leon in annoyance and distrust but did as he asked and continued.

"But then this keyblade suddenly appeared in my hand and I could start to fight those Heartless like they were nothing."

"Yup! That's the power of the keyblade! Or to be more precise, what you have is a Keyblade of Light! A powerful tool for those who serve the light by maintaining the order of the multiverse. Back in the old days there were hundreds of Keyblades of Light and people used them to protect worlds from darkness and chaos. But then the keyblade wielders of darkness showed up and started destroying worlds for the sake of power. They didn't want the keyblade wielders of light to stop them, so they declared war and destroyed all the Keyblades. They were so ruthless that it was thought that all the Keyblades of Light were destroyed yet you have one right now."

"But how do I have it?"

"Well, that's what we're hoping to find out. please, go on."

"Hm, well after I found out the Heartless hated the Keyblade I started using it to get rid of as many of them as possible. I was trying to stop them from flooding the island and save everyone but... everything was being torn apart as-"

"As the darkness was seeping in everywhere and even though you destroyed nearly a hundred heartless."

"Thousands more kept flooding in." Sora looked up in shock at both Yuffie and Leon, the two of them seemed to be filled with regret and dread.

"Wait, you guys too? Were you from Destiny Islands?"

"No, our world was destroyed long before yours was."

"... I- I'm so sorry for your- Wait, world?! What do you mean world?! I'm still in my world! My island just got swallowed up by the darkness! ... Right?"

"We'll explain everything in a second, for now just go on."

"Hm, you better, anyways as things were falling apart, I finally found Riku. He was talking strangely, something about it being our only chance to see new worlds. I couldn't make sense of any of it. He held out his hand and asked me to come with him. Before I could reach him, a black portal thing opened behind him and one of those hooded guys showed up and pulled him in."

"That's a Keyblade wielder of Darkness and what you saw was the Void. Voids are gateways made from the energy of the darkness in-between worlds. The keyblade wielders of darkness use it to travel to worlds without a gummi ship. It's easier, sure but the more you use it the more it corrupts your mind with an endless lust for power. If you're not careful, you'll become a Heartless yourself."

"But where did it take Riku?"

"Sorry, but we have no way of knowing that just yet. for now, just go on."

"Ok, ok, after that I was so scared, and more Heartless showed up and the island started getting more and more lost to the darkness. I didn't know what else to do so I just went to our secret hiding place. Our parents never liked us going there but we hung out there anyways. I went there because it was the only place left to go and I found Kairi there. I was just about to reach her but then a Void showed up and another hooded guy came out of it; he just took her. Soon all that was left of the island was this large chunk and from it a giant shadow crea- uh, a giant Heartless showed up, I tried to stop it but... I barely dented it, then everything went black... and I woke up in this town."

"... That's what I meant by world, sorry to say kid but it wasn't just your island, your entire world got destroyed."

"Wh- What?!"

"Like I said earlier, that's what the Keyblade wielders of Darkness do. They don't care about balance or peace, they just want power. They get the most power by destroying worlds and letting what's left be swallowed by the Darkness. They especially enjoy slashing people with their Keyblades of Darkness to turn them into Heartless."

"Wait yeah I saw that, is that what all Heartless are?! Just people killed by the keyblade wielders of darkness?!"

"First, it's not correct to say killed, more like cursed. Second, not all of them, just the ones with the symbol on their being. Those are the Emblem Heartless, people cursed to become soldiers of the Dark Army until their dark bodies are destroyed, liberating the hearts within. The other Heartless are just monsters born from the darkness in-between worlds. Unlike creatures of light they were never born with hearts hence the name. They existed long before the Dark Army, which is what the Keyblade wielders of Darkness call themselves, but still obey them because of their Keyblades of Darkness."

"Either way, like termites they destroy worlds one by one for the darkness, under the command of Keyblade wielders of Darkness. They did the same thing to our world."

"But why?! It can't just be about power!"

"It is actually, they don't really care about anything else." Sora gripped the keyblade in growing frustration. The idea of people being evil just for evil's sake made him angry to his core. Yuffie put her hand on Sora's hand, Sora blushed and backed away from her. Yuffie was confused by this but simply laughed it off.

"I know it's a lot to ask right now but try to keep a positive attitude. The Darkness feeds off of negative emotions like greed and hate. As far as we can tell you're the last Keyblade wielder of Light in the muti-verse, we can't afford to lose you. As of this point, you're our strongest weapon against the Darkness.

"Thought that's not to say you're our only weapon. True the best way to stop the Keyblade wielders of Darkness and the Heartless is with a Keyblade of Light but magic users like us can take care of the job too."

"Magic? You can use magic!" Sora's eyes sparkled at the idea of magic being real which made Yuffie laugh at how cute she thought Sora looked. Squall on the other hand was uncomfortable, Yuffie noticed this and sighed as she answered Sora's question.

"Well... sort of? Being a magic user doesn't necessarily mean you can use magic, it just means that you have a special connection to the multiverse. As such you can do amazing things and even help destroy the Heartless."

"But we can't lock worlds away from the darkness. Only the Keyblade wielder of Light can, which unfortunately happens to be you."

"Hey! For the record I didn't ask to be a Keyblade wielder of Light!"

"Yeah, apparently you were chosen."

"Chosen? By who?"

"By the light itself, I guess? Merlin told us-"

"Yuffie don't."

"Oh, come on Leon he deserves to know, besides! If Merlin were here, he would have done the same." Leon couldn't argue with that, so he just huffed in annoyance and looked the other way.

"You guys and the hooded guy kept asking if I had a master. Did this master give me a keyblade?"

"Oh, no, no, a Keyblade master regardless of Light or Darkness would never hide from their students. However Merlin, who is our master, told us that there was a legend among the Guardians of light; passed around for generations. It is told that should the Guardians of light, which is what the Keyblade wielders of Light called themselves, ever fall and be swallowed up by Darkness. The light will seek out a pure heart of determination and bravery and gift it with the brightest keyblade the multiverse has to offer. The one to wield this keyblade will be destined to shine their light even through the darkest places of the multiverse. With this power they will restore balance and peace to all worlds that shine in Light. As far as we can tell the Guardians of Light were wiped out so you and your Keyblade are proof the prophecy is true! Basically, this means the one destined to stop the darkness is, drum roll please! You!"

"Me?! No wait, I don't like the Darkness any more than you guys but really, all I want is to find my friends and save my home!"

"And that's exactly what you'll end up accomplishing if you use that keyblade properly."

"... Ok, but what should I do if that's the case? Where do I even start?"

"Well first off you already defeated the Keyblade wielder of Darkness, or the Dark Conduit as they're mostly called, so you already got that done. But the Dark Army is going to be mad and send in another one. So right now, you need to find the World's Keyhole that connects this world with other worlds and lock it. Doing that will prevent the Darkness from ever entering this world again."

"Actually, I think I know where that is, when you're ready follow me!" Yuffie then joyfully walked out of the room, Sora was quick to jump out of the bed and follow her.

***

Donald and Goofy made it to the town square but there was still no sign of Merlin or the guardians he was training. Thankfully there was no Heartless in sight either but that didn't make it any less concerning how baren the town was.

"Gosh, you don't think we're too late do ya Donald?"

"Of course not Goofy! If this world was targeted the Heartless would be everywhere. Instead, it's so quiet and peaceful! Not a single Heartless in sight!" Suddenly several shadow Heartless manifested and quickly surrounded Donald and Goofy. Goofy sighed as he got ready his shield and Donald huffed in annoyance as he got out his staff.

"Don't say I jinxed it!"

"I wasn't going to Donald."

"Who are you losers?" The Heartless then stood aside as the female in a black hooded coat walked forward toward Donald and Goofy. She was holding a dark keyblade detailed with blue lighting and the golden knife-like blades for the key bit.

"Grrr! I'm not even supposed to be here! I'm supposed to be with Even, making the Heartless more powerful. Yet those damned bigshots demanded I be the new Dark Conduit for this world. Ugh, this sucks! I hate fighting!"

"Uh, then maybe we don't have to fight?"

"Shut up dog, I'm only gonna ask this once, where is the Keyblade wielder of Light!"

"So there really is a keyblade here! I knew we were in the right place! We just have to find it!"

"You don't know where they are either?! Then you're useless!" The Dark Conduit then unleashed a bolt of lightning on them, blasting them into the air. At the same time Sora and Yuffie had just reached the town square.

"So where is the keyhole of Traverse Town?"

"Hm, I thought it was somewhere around here; I always felt magical energy flowing through here somewhere, but I could never tell exactly where. Strange now I can't feel anything." Just then Donald and Goofy fell on top of Sora leaving all three of them dizzy from the pain.

"Ugh... what gives...?"

"Ow... sorry sir..."

"Ugh... gosh... we are so sorr- THE KEY!" Goofy quickly got off of Sora but Donald was on his back and therefore thrown off when Goofy got up. Donald was mad at Goofy but saw the keyblade as well and started jumping in joy. Yuffie couldn't help but laugh at the two as she slowly walked to Sora and helped him up as he groaned in pain from being landed on.

"Ugh... Who are they, and why do they look so weird?"

"Clearly they are from a different world. Try not to get so shocked seeing people like them. With a keyblade you're going to be traveling to different worlds and most of the time you'll see normal people but sometimes you'll see people that don't look normal. They may seem strange to you but in their world, they're the normal ones. Just try to remember that ok?"

"I... guess that makes sense." Donald and Goofy were dancing joyfully at finally finding the key their king instructed them to find. Goofy then noticed Sora and stopped while also stopping Donald as well. Donald and Goofy then walked up to Sora and bowed to him.

"Mister Keyblade wielder of Light, we come from Disney Castle! After losing contact with Radiant Garden, our King felt the growing darkness threatening the multiverse and went on a personal quest to stop it but sent us on a separate quest to find the last Keyblade Wielder of Light."

"And now that we have found you, we are to help you hold back the darkness by escorting you to the world where the Dark Army is attacking and protecting you as you seal their darkness away from the worlds."

"Wait... you guys are going to take me to new worlds!" Sora's eyes sparkled in excitement, Donald and Goofy were confused at first but shrugged it off and nodded.

"SO, YOU'RE THE BRAT THAT DEFEATED AELEUS!" All four of them looked up to a balcony above the town square and saw the hooded girl, angrily gripping on the railing. Despite her face being covered by her hood it was obvious she was glaring at them with rage.

"Oh no! That's why I can't feel the keyhole anymore! It's because they already got a replacement! So quickly too! Are they efficient or just desperate?"

"GRRR! Ahem! Sorry about that, it's not like I liked the meat head anyways it's just that this isn't my job to be a Dark Conduit! yet you destroyed him and his keyblade meaning we needed a replacement and that had to me! Me! I'm a Heartless Modifier, not a fighter!"

"a Heartless Modifier?" The Dark Conduit seemed taken a-back by Sora's confusion but then started laughing.

"Yup that's me! I admit I'm not considered the best, but I can still make grand creations like this one!"

Just then a large ball of Darkness was visibly seen falling from the sky and fell right in front of Sora and the others. The Darkness started taking the form of five very large objects. Two formed large metal looking legs, two formed evil metal looking arms, and finally the last one formed a reinforced looking chest and a small but knight looking head.

"Hahaha! Once I destroy you, Maleficent nor any of the other bigshots will ever bother me with these trivial matters ever again! Master Ansem might even promote me to a Lady for destroying the last keyblade wielder of light in the multiverse! But that's enough daydreaming, destroy them my Heartless!" The Guard Armor then slowly advanced as both Soldier Heartless and Shadow Heartless started encircling the five of them. Thankfully Leon jumped into the group right beside Yuffie with his large sword and faced the Heartless while Yuffie got out her Shuriken.

"Sora, we'll handle the grunts, you take down the boss class Heartless." Sora nodded on impulse but upon looking at the Guard Armor he couldn't help but shiver in fear at how large it was. Then Sora noticed that there was a strange emblem on its being.

Those are the Emblem Heartless, people cursed to become soldiers of the Dark Army until their dark bodies are destroyed, liberating the hearts within. Sora gazed at how big it was and then looked back at the soldier heartless and saw how small they were. This either meant that this Heartless was once a giant or several people that got cursed by the darkness. Regardless, Sora was enraged with this knowledge.

"You rotten adult! How can you proudly call yourself a Keyblade wielder of Darkness knowing you do this to people?! They all had their own lives, and you took it from them just to get more power! How can you be so cruel?!"

"... Did you just call me an adult?! I'm not that much older than you! Besides if you really care that much about these people then why don't you just shut up and liberate them?" The Dark Conduit then raised her keyblade and as if on command, the Guard Armor stomped forward and raised its fist. Sora raised his keyblade to defend, but before he could do anything Goofy jumped up and blocked the punch with his magical shield. Goofy then landed beside Sora while still facing the Guard Armor with determination.

"Don't worry Mister Keyblade wielder of Light! We'll help you defeat any Heartless that stand against our mission." Then several strikes of lighting hit the Guard Armor forcing it back. Both Sora and Goofy turned back to see Donald holding his magic wand and looking proud of himself.

"Wow, you guys are amazing, I'm Sora by the way."

"I'm Goofy, head of the Royal Guard! A-hyuk!" Sora had to look the other way and cover his mouth to keep himself from laughing. It was a funny name, but he remembered what Yuffie said about respecting people from other worlds. Then Donald ran up to Sora and stood beside him on his right.

"I'm Donald! the Head Wizard of Disney Castle! At your service!"

"A wizard and a Royal Guard, I'm excited that we'll be fighting side by side! Now come on! Let's take this thing down and stop that Keyblade wielder of Darkness!" Both Donald and Goofy nodded as Sora ran toward the Guard Armor and jumped in the air to slash it down. For a moment Sora was shocked to see how high up he was and how light his body felt. However, his excitement in the moment was thwarted when the right fist of the Guard Armor punched him and spun around to slap him down into the ground. Goofy gasped while Donald shot several lightning bolts at the Guard Armor. it would have done damage if the Guard Armor didn't raise its left arm and started spinning and deflected the lightning bolts. Sora managed to get up and noticed that despite the legs not being connected to the Guard Armor it was still able to stand straight because of them.

"Sora! Are you alright?!"

"Goofy, watch my back! I got an idea!" Sora then rushed forward, seeming to be repeating the same thing he did last time. Goofy had his doubts but ran after Sora to protect him. The Guard Armor noticed this and raised both its fists to crush them. Goofy panicked as he raised his shield, his magical ability allowed him to give his shield incredible strength and durability. However, it was still a small shield. Thankfully Donald hit the left fits with a fire blast, Goofy smiled in relief and focused his power into deflecting the right fist. As Sora got closer to the legs, he readied his keyblade and with all his might, slashed them with all his might. His attack left a cut on the leg that glowed gold light. The Guard Armor growled in pain and raised its other leg to crush Sora. Sora jumped to it and slashed the bottom of the foot, causing the Guard Armor to lose its balance.

"NO! WHAT'S GOING ON?! DESTROY THEM ALREADY!" The Guard Armor growled in anger and got its balance back. It raised both its fists and aimed the right one at Sora and its left at Goofy. Goofy panicked again and looked to Sora in fear but Sora smiled and raised his hand to Goofy to show him not to worry. Sora watched as the readied fist itself to launch toward him. Sora waited for the right moment and finally backflipped away from the incoming fist. Upon impact the fist ended up using too much force and was now stuck in the ground. Goofy managed to deflect the other fist but was shocked to see the other one was now stuck in the ground. Sora smiled excitedly, ran up to the first and started slashing at it as much as he could.

After a couple attacks, the fist disbursed into dark mist releasing a few hearts from it. The Guard Armor growled in anger as the torso fell to the ground. Suddenly the legs started stomping around more freely. Even the fist started moving around more freely as it was attacking Goofy's shield more aggressively. Donald, thankfully, came to his rescue by freezing the entire arm in a block of ice. Goofy then smiled in determination and bashed the fist with as much magic and strength into his shield as he could. The resulting force caused the arm to shatter and released the hearts in it as well.

Donald unfortunately, collapsed due to exhausting his mana. Goofy and Sora stood side by side facing the Torso and the Legs of the Guard Armor. Sora charged forward and in response the legs raised up ready to crush him. Goofy then pulled him away and quickly swung his shield across them both, allowing him to block both their attacks. Goofy, still holding Sora, swung Sora back toward the Legs and Sora slashed them both while midair. Now that the legs were damaged Sora didn't stop slashing them until they were destroyed, and the hearts inside were released.

"NO! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!" The Dark Conduit panicked as she raised her keyblade out of frustration. From it a strand of dark energy linked to from the Keyblade to the Guard Armor. She then turned her keyblade as if locking a lock and the Guard Armor was instantly infused with additional dark energy. The Guard Armor's torso then raised up into the air and from where its limbs once were, new limbs made from pure dark energy were formed.

"Hahaha! Try and destroy it now!"

"Don't think you won, jerk! we got this!" Sora then slowly slid his way over to Goofy while keeping his eye on the now darkened Guard Armor.

"Uh, we got this right?"

"... I was actually hoping you could answer that." Both Sora and Goofy sighed in defeat while the Darkened Guard Armor was slowly approaching them. Suddenly the Guard Armor was pushed back by two slashes of light to the chest and followed up by a blast from a fireball. Squall and Yuffie then landed in front of Sora and Goofy. Afterwards Donald landed between them but on his face instead.

"You guys need help from a master ninja and a head wizard? As well as a lovable shy hero?" Leon rolled his eyes at Yuffie's comment while Donald quickly got up and tried to look strong. Squall and Yuffie then ran toward the Darkened Guard Armor and with one strike each they disrupted the dark energy limbs causing the Darkened Guard Armor to fall on its face. Now that it was their chance, Goofy charged his shield and bashed the Guard Armor's face. Donald followed up with a lightning spell strike on its back. Finally, Sora finished it up by slashing the Guard Armor's head, finishing it off. The dark energy disbursed like a smoke bomb and released the remaining hearts trapped within it.

"No! n- n- NO! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING! YOU'RE JUST A ROOKIE HOW CAN YOU BE THIS STRONG?!"

"I'm... not... well I mean sure; I had never done something as awesome as this but... well I also didn't do it alone. I had some pretty cool people by my side." Sora smiled and looked to his right seeing Donald and Goofy smiling joyfully back at him. Sora then looked to his left and saw Yuffie smiling joyfully but Squall standing there quietly but seemingly proud of their victory.

"Ugh! Master Ansem was right! you guardians of light are so sickeningly hopeful and sweet! Fine, you want something done right, do it yourself!" The Dark Conduit then stabbed her keyblade into the ground and like before turned it like locking a lock. A dark forcefield formed from where the keyblade was placed and continued to expand until it reached Sora. Leon, Donald, Yuffie, and Goofy all tried entering the forcefield, but couldn't even break their way into it.

The Dark Conduit then jumped from the balcony and landed in front of Sora, she then started walking slowly forward to approach him. Sora was scared now that he was alone, though he still kept the keyblade in his hand, ready to strike whenever.

"So, you finally decided to stop hiding behind the people you cursed?"

"Those of us that can handle the power of the Darkness are justified in doing whatever we please! It says so in the teachings of Xaler. But of course, you wouldn't know anything about that. All you need to know is that I am going to destroy you, and now that my Guard Armor has tired you out it's going to be a piece of cake." Sora didn't want to admit it, but it was true, despite seeming abnormally stronger thanks to the keyblade he still had limits. He could feel his body getting closer to reaching his limit from all the fighting.

"Don't worry Sora! I got this! CURE!"

"Donald, don't!" Goofy was too late, Donald cast a cure on Sora, or at least he would have if it worked correctly. Instead, a withered weed next to Sora ended up rejuvenating itself and even blossomed into a flower. However, Sora was still tired and looked at Donald in confusion. Donald himself just looked away trying to pretend it wasn't him. Goofy facepalmed in disappointment, and Squall, same as Yuffie, looked at Donald in confusion.

"Pfft! Hahaha! That's Disney Castle's head wizard?! He can't even cast a cure spell properly!" Donald growled at the Dark Conduit and was about to charge at her but ended up ramming headfirst into the forcefield and passed out.

"Hahahahaha! Oh man, good stuff. Ok I'm feeling better now, so how about I destroy you and take your keyblade, kid?" Sora was indeed scared at first but after seeing the hooded girl laugh and smile at Donalds shortcomings, he was angered. Now fueled with determination, Sora managed to endure his exhaustion, hopefully just long enough to defeat the hooded girl.

"Finding enjoyment in the suffering of others, your evil through and through! I may be a kid but I'm not gonna let you hurt anyone else you jerk!"

"... Oh yeah, destroying you is definitely going to make my day." The Dark Conduit rushed forward with incredible speed and swung her keyblade. Thankfully Sora could block it in time, but it was a close call none-the-less. Sora unfortunately had no time to rest and was constantly having to block her continuous, fast, and precise strikes on him. He only managed to block each one by a hair's length making him only more and more tired. The Dark Conduit was getting angry; no matter how fast, powerful, or at what angle, Sora managed to block every strike.

Sora was getting more tired but also more excited. The reason he could keep blocking despite feeling exhausted was thanks to muscle memory. He was in a tough fight like this several times with Riku. Riku was a year older and therefore stronger and faster than him, so it wasn't hard for him to overpower Sora. However, it was because of this that Sora found one of the few times he could actually beat Riku in a sword fight.

Sora managed to keep blocking almost perfectly until he was finally pushed back into the wall of the forcefield. The Dark Conduit smiled sadistically thinking that she could finally end this. However, as she raised her keyblade for one powerful blow Sora smiled joyfully. Sora then slashed her chest with one power strike, much faster than she could attack him.

"Hahaha! I did it! Kairi, did you see that I defeated...! Riku..." Sora felt so happy at his victory that for a moment he thought he was still on Destiny Island. Sora then faced the now injured hooded girl as her body was glitching. She was only barely holding her existence together. Sora then pointed his keyblade at her while showing a serious expression on his face.

"You HAVE to know something. Where are Riku and Kairi? I saw people dressed exactly like you take them off of destiny islands and into the Void. Where did they take them?"

"... Hahaha... don't worry about Kairi, Master Maleficent is taking good care of her..." the Dark Conduit slowly grabbed her keyblade.

"As for Riku... like how you became the champion of light... he will become the champion... of DARKNESS!" The Dark Conduit swung her keyblade and was mere seconds from slashing Sora and destroying him. She would have succeeded if Leon hadn't stabbed her, destroying her completely. Since she was injured her forcefield was weakened allowing Squall to break through. Now she was gone and so was the forcefield.

"Sora, you alright?" Leon placed his hand on Sora's shoulder out of genuine concern.

"I guess. I mean from what she said they're alive and not cursed to be Heartless but, Champion of Darkness? What does that mean?"

"... I don't know but it can't be good. Though if your friends are as strong as you, I don't think you'll have much to worry about."

"I hope- No I know so! Kairi is the bravest and brightest girl I know, and Riku never runs from danger! They're gonna be ok! Even against this Master Maleficent jerk!"

"MALEFICENT?!" Donald and Goofy seemed extremely scared of that name to the point they both screamed it at the same time.

"You guys know her?"

"she's an evil dark fairy that once put a princess of Heart to an eternal sleep! The princess was freed, sure, but what Maleficent did was still evil! It was thought that she was defeated afterwards but there were rumors that she was saved by the Dark Army and became a keyblade wielder of darkness!"

"She's quite infamous and very scary, not to mention powerful! Gosh, if she has your friends then that means they are in grave danger!" Yuffie actually looked shocked hearing this while Leon facepalmed. He was disappointed Donald and Goofy had to say all of that after trying to comfort Sora. Sora was indeed frightened to hear this and as his mind wandered in fear of what fate his friends might encounter. However, his train of thought was interrupted when he noticed a strange but glowing keyhole in the ground of the town square.

"Yuffie, is that the keyhole?"

"Huh? Oh yes! Lock it, quick!" Sora wasn't really sure how to do that but still stuck his keyblade into the lock. Sora remembered how the hooded girl turned her key and did just that. Just then the keyhole glowed brighter than before and released blue energy that shot up in the air and made a forcefield in the sky seeming to show that it had spread across the entire world.

"huh... That did it, now the Dark Army has lost their influence on this world." Sora was amazed by this and looked again at the giant forcefield in the sky as it slowly faded. It was still there, just not visible anymore. Sora then looked back at the golden Keyblade still in his hand. With this Keyblade he defeated the heartless, liberated the cursed hearts, defeated a giant Heartless monster, and two Keyblade wielders of Darkness.

"So... with this keyblade I can stop the Dark Army and get my friends back from Maleficent?" Leon then placed his hand on Sora's shoulder.

"Yes, according to the prophecy it's your destiny to stop the Darkness and Save the Light."

"I want to do that but... can I?"

"Not alone! A-hyuk! That's why we're here!" Goofy and Donald smiled at Sora, then Yuffie who nodded to show she was there for him too. Sora looked up to Squall and he nodded as well. They were right, Sora wasn't alone, he had the help of everyone here. Despite only just meeting them all today he couldn't help but feel excited with all they achieved today.

"That's the plan then! The darkness destroyed my world and is trying to destroy other worlds and the only thing that can stop them is this keyblade! Donald, Goofy, you guys said that you're gonna help me stop the darkness from destroying other worlds, right?"

"Yes Sir! With that Keyblade not only can you defeat the heartless but also free the worlds from the darkness! And once we've freed all the worlds from darkness, we should be able to find where Maleficent and your friends are!"

"Really?! Awesome! Alright then, job accepted! I promise to help you guys liberate all worlds from darkness if you guys help me find my friends... but uh how do I get off this world?"

"Oh of course follow us!" Donald then walked to a door leading out of the town square and Goofy followed him. Sora was about to follow the two of them but noticed that Leon and Yuffie weren't following him.

"Huh? Are you guys not coming?"

"We need to stay here, Merlin is our master, and he watches over this world and as his apprentices we need to help him defend it."

"But I locked the keyhole, isn't this world safe?"

"Well, it's safe from the darkness but the Dark Army can always find a way to get back inside."

"In other words, while you guys are saving the worlds of the multiverse, we are making sure they stay saved!"

"Well ok then, guess this is goodbye for now but I will be back, and when I do come back, i'll be with Kairi and Riku! they'll definitely want to meet you guys!" Sora waved goodbye to them and then ran after Donald and Goofy to the Gummi ship.

"Ha, he's such a bright kid, even when surrounded by fear and darkness he somehow finds the light."

"Yeah..."

"It would be really sad if there was ever something so unbearable it broke his heart."

"Yeah..."

"... So, is that why you lied about not knowing what the Champion of Darkness is?"

"Do you honestly think he would believe me if I told him? Besides, if this Riku really is his friend then there's no way he would ever want to stand against Sora in exchange for petty power."

"And if he does want power?"

"... Then I hope the light in Sora's heart will be enough to counter the darkness in Riku's heart."

Part 2

The beating was enough to knock him loopy. Restrained, nothing to see with the bag over his head, and no way to fight back. Fitting, he supposed, that his past returned to do the damage.

The present stood in the room too. A wild and beautiful wilderness named Emre. Worth the try to get out of there. To get Emre out of there, regardless if Emre would always be able to handle himself. Superior to Kaz, who had been conditioned to throw a punch but also to take one. Which he did (or more precisely, a kick to the head). He lost consciousness.

--

Georgie's march ground to a halt. Her hand lifted to near her head, but stayed far from the wet hock that began to dribble from the start of her braid to the skin of her neck. Feroze, as if waiting for the chance, swept in to slam a fist into Emre's stomach.

Fucking organ shifter! A tart smile twisted to face Emre. She sing-songed. 'Wishing you'd gone to dinner now, don't you.'

--

Kaz woke onboard another ship, this one lean and large. Designed for fancy floating parties and overnights around the San Juan islands. His pulse pounded in his temples and he uttered a disappointed fuck. Hands lifted to cradle the ache in his head, but the wrists were zip tied together.

Though not his feet, and he stood with a groan. Kaz found himself in a small room somewhere mid-deck, perhaps once a bedroom. A few slams of the shoulder into the locked door racked his bones with additional pain.

Vision was watery, blurry from pain in his head. He squinted to look out one of the windows. The boat swayed but had not pulled away from the island yet. As Kaz studied the dark scene outside, something dropped in front of the window and made a big splash into the water. He smiled.

The window was examined for escape. Same with the zip tie, as Kaz worked to yank his wrists apart hard enough to snap the binding.

Footsteps were heard on deck. Heavy and directionless, quick and frantic. Feroze's walkie-talkie fired off outside the door, muffled by distance and walls (warnings of missing crew members, an urgency to set sail). The engine engaged, and the ship began its calm slide away from the dock and towards the horizon.

Georgie knocked on the door anxiously. 'Kaz, Kaz, there's something I need to--' "Where is he?" He rammed his body at the door, and the hinges yelped under the impact. A deep bellow, after he'd thrown himself once more at the door. "WHERE. IS. HE! Where is he!"

She jumped away from the violent smack on the door and subsequent twisting of the door handle from the inside, her mouth open soundlessly. Stunned for a few seconds. Georgie shouted back to be heard. 'Stop it. STOP IT! Kaz! Feroze talked to your mother. She said you're dead. You're supposed to be dead!'

He paused with a panted breath. "I am dead, Georgina. She's right. Now fucking let me out of here."

Georgie stepped cautiously closer. 'You're so angry. You'll hurt me.' She shook her head, voice residing in the higher, most innocent register. 'When all I want to do is help. I said it back there, in the restaurant. I was trying to help, Kaz. I really was.'

Kaz's voice fell lower into his chest, silk-smooth and with a subtle smile. "I only ever hurt you when you begged me to. When it felt good, for both of us." A quick glance at the window, where the island retreated rapidly. Shit. Further away from Emre, he thought.

Or was he, how the hell could he know where Emre was? One of Georgie's skills was to lie. With compulsion, to stand by the highest and most unbelievable piles of bullshit and swear how sweetly it smelled. "Georgie. Open the door." Sudden calm carried through his words. "Because you know I'll break it down if I have to. And if he's hurt at all, I will come for you."

There was a shout down to Georgie, which Kaz couldn't hear too clear (Georgina! Captain's cabin please, we've got a problem!). Anger flooded her expression-- for Kaz's warning or the unexpected interruption, or both. Georgie stalked off with only a glare Kaz couldn't see. Once her footsteps faded, he set about using himself again to knock the door lock out of the frame.

Kaz creeped as fast and as stealthy as possible down the cramped corridors of the boat. While internally, all he wanted to do was scream: EMRE! Weirdly, he also began to notice that the cautious sneaking around wasn't entirely necessary. Few voices were now heard, and he began to wonder if he was on a ghost ship.

On deck, he crouched along a railing, out of sight. Whidbey behind them, course set for the north. A small life raft was attached to the side, but useless compared to the large vessel and crew aboard. Kaz imagined a plummet off the side and into the water, but he'd freeze before making it to land. And then what?

He thought of something black and wide that fell into the water from above. Emre. His heart registered before his brain. Emre was onboard, he had to be. As he heard someone approach, Kaz dove into a supply closet to find a weapon.

Ah. So Georgina did feel some type of possessiveness about Kaz, it seemed. Even after more than a decade - after what, 15, 16 years now? She wanted to be in charge of Kaz. She even acquired a lookalike in that Feroze bloke - young and strong and a proper prick.

Priti still didn't like her? Why did that matter? Emre couldn't imagine Kaz bringing this Georgina woman home to meet the parents. And sadly, Emre couldn't imagine Kaz's parents giving a fuck one way or another, about who did what to Kaz outside their so-called home. But was there some long-standing beef there, and Kaz was some kind of odd lynchpin holding this rivalry together? Estranged mum vs crazy girlfriend?

Good for her. Kaz's comment couldn't be more dry and lacking in feeling than a hot desert sun.

In their brief, perhaps foolish moment of respite, Kaz took time to explain geography to Emre - who knew the locations but couldn't mentally place them on any American map. Emre smiled, unable to help himself as Kaz slid easily from education to tease. Maybe Emre was also thinking about Iyaz at the moment, maybe not. Because he murmured without thinking, "I love you, so much."

Kaz insisted that Georgie wasn't the mastermind behind all of this, and another theory sprouted in Emre's mind - not about versus and more about necessity. That same connection through a missing son, a disappeared (ex?)boyfriend. Emre nodded about the health thing, taking note. "We'll sort it after we escape. Maybe I should wash the bloody thing off, yeah."

Escape turned out unfeasible. And then Kaz got punished for it, it sent Emre into a panicked if somewhat impotent rage. All he cared about was seeing Kaz alive. He knew Kaz likely took beatings, many beatings, especially after learning there was no safe place, not even a home. He knew Kaz had the survival capabilities that could probably evade a nuclear bomb. But Emre needed to see and make sure.

Georgina promising she did care about him. She cared so much, she hurt him. The thought stuck in Emre's throat like a razor, watching Kaz getting hauled up, barely conscious. A bloody hood on his head. Emre's attention sharp as he fell silent, let himself be pinned, and watched only Kaz. Georgie helpfully pointed to Kaz's destination. They were to be separated; despite Georgina's complaints about them wasting time, this was her plan all along. Fuck her, then.

Kaz so barely conscious, he had to be carried out - but he was carried, like precious cargo destined to a boat. Emre bobbed along between the guards, ignoring Georgina's questions but suddenly realizing where this was all headed. He gobbed blood and saliva at the back of Georgina's head. "If you're gonna do it, then do it. I don't have to tell you fuck all, slag."

And there it was: what Emre belatedly realized, seconds before they got to the kitchen. "Fucking organ shifter!" Emre could see the doctor - a dead-eyed balding man preparing a needle - and Georgie making her grand exit. The medical tools prepared, restraining straps on the exam table and dental chair.

And Emre realized something else, too: in his 4, 5 years on the island, he'd gone soft. Relaxed and reshaped his mind and muscles towards farming, not hunting. Adjusted his scruples to fit a society that cared about him - as a human being, if not a friend. A wild animal domesticated, gone docile. A part of his brain he'd put to a gentle sleep suddenly woke up, acrid and sour. And it blanketed the rest of his conscience with a floury white blanket.

The guards only needed two seconds to let go of one arm to strap him in. That was all Emre needed when he slammed his forehead into one guard's nose, and snatched a scalpel off the table. A smooth arc to slice the other guard - right across his eyes. Emre slid off the table, snatching a screaming guard's knife from his utility belt (similar to the one Parker apparently had and wore everywhere??? how????) and booted the eyeless man to one side for now, twisting to stab the broken-nose one in the neck, jerking it back out in a spray of blood. Helping himself to that guard's knife, he turned to the doctor.

"I'm just a doctor!" the man pleaded, his trembling hands up; and those were his last words.

---

It was late evening when Emre reached the boat, thankfully still there. Emre knew he only had minutes, but he hadn't seen anyone on his path from the kitchen to the dock. Good - no alarms raised. They'd all assumed Emre was a done deal, death under a scalpel with barely a whimper. He wasn't even sure if they'd loaded Kaz onto the boat yet...and maybe Georgina was fibbing about that anyway? Emre made his way up a gangplank, slicing the throat of another guard and lobbing the body into the water. The bodyarmour made it sink.

No firearms on anyone, which was interesting. Maybe they'd run out of bullets. He crouched on the deck and waited, watching the dock and banking on two options. Either Kaz would be carried by on land to some other destination - but Emre didn't think Georgina would bother trying to trick Emre. She didn't think much of him, beyond potential for organ farming. She just wanted Emre to see Kaz leaving.

Other option, was that Kaz was already on the boat, and it was just a matter of time before they set sail. On the open water, navigating between these tall-treed, misty, dark islands, then Emre would strike. If they were transporting Kaz somewhere, Emre did want to know where; but he wanted Kaz more.

And given everything she said and Kaz's obstinate impression of her, Emre felt sure: where ever Kaz was, Georgie would be with him. And Emre would save her for last.

Barfaani raatein

summary- On a cold night of march, a man knocked on your door to let you know your husband, police officer rama raju was in hospital and you need to come. Only to find him flirtatiously high on his pain killers.

Ram x reader

sita's note- finally done with the fic that clogged up like, four more to come. Please enjoy ram being a flirt husband to his some months old wife y/n. special thanks to @rambheemlove @yehsahihai @infusedchaos i changed some of the plot because i didnt have any idea.

"Mrs. Y/n?" A white man knocked on your door, and stood back, waiting for a reply. The doors opened soon, revealing a woman in her 20s, green saree with red blouse. Her hair open and kohl deep and black. Red sindoor shining like parrot's beak. Her silver bindi shining like the moon.

"I'm sent by Dr. Victor, if you remember" his British accent wrapped his words like honey. She nodded smiling. Y/n met Dr. Victor when she was surfing for her own book in the bookstore and he recognised her- the Indian author of colonization crushing the creative country. Dr. Victor was her fan, immediately praising and reciting her work. To find such a successful physician reading her work, Y/n also linked a friendship towards the 30 year old man.

"of course. Is everything okay?" She clasped the metal handle of the door, unaware of the situation. If only her dear husband came home early, she'd peacefully leave to see why did Victor sent for her.

"it's your husband"

The silence that seeped in her mind made her deaf to whatever the man said. She shook her head to catch the last "-so you need to come with us." Y/n stood there like a statue. "I am sorry but, can you please repeat" she wasn't sorry. She was anxious, of all the things. The man sighed and nodded, slowly speaking.

"Your husband, officer Ramaraju, was caught in a bad riot. His head was split by a rock so he was taken to the hospital. Luckily Dr. Victor was there and recognised him, so he sent me to get you. Your husband is getting stitches so you need to come with us"

She was sure he didn't speak so much when the first time the man explained. Y/n felt herself nodding, grabbing her belongings, locking the door and leaving with him. Subconsciously. On auto. This wasn't happening anyways, right?

Y/n grabbed her shawl and tugged it closer when the cold seat of the car gave her an insight of reality. Her husband was in hospital, getting stitched beca- her eyes welled up, panic setting in. Ram was fine. He was fine. Just fine. The car stopped in front of a white building, and the driver pulled open the gate, following her in to lead her to Ram. At the second floor, she could see Victor at end of hall. She ran to him.

...

Victor caught site of you, your eyes glossed and cheeks wet. "Thank God you're here, Y/n. Your stupid husband won't get stitched because he wanted you there first" Dr. Victor said and you stood there, gaping like a fish. You peeked in to see his arms bandaged and blood on the side of his head. You gasped. "Tell him I am here, please" you asked the doctor and he nodded, going in the ward. About a minute later, the nurse shut the green curtain of the room.

You sat there outside on the bench, when you heard Ram's occasional grunts and groans. They started getting louder, at the point where he was taking your name over and over again to keep himself stable. Anxiety shot through you, and you would say it was butterflies in your stomach if it wasn't for the situation. You looked down at your hands, henna barely visible. Your tears pooled in the wrinkles of your hand. His name faded from your palm. It was an arranged marriage, two months ago in December. You were sure that getting married to a police officer was risky, but still went for it, as if you had a choice. You soon realized Ram wasn't that uptight, occasionally joking or spending time with you. If not a sudden leap to fall in love, you both were slowly exploring each other, finding a friend in a strange, lifelong bond.

A nurse came out, holding tray of bloody cottons. "You should be happy you are friends with Doctor Victor" she stopped by to say "Your husband made it too late to get stitched that we couldn't give him anesthesia. Usually the doctor would get really mad" with that the woman disappeared in the ward again, Ram's chanting playing in background. You fell back on the seat, wondering what went in his mind. The replay of your name was still going on inside, and you sobbed outside endlessly. Doctor Victor was right to call him stupid.

About five minutes later Doctor came out, stripping the rubber gloves. "Ram is either very brave or very dumb" He said and you smiled lowly. "I will give you some medicines and ointment after a while. We've given him some painkillers for now to subside the pain, so he will be a bit loopy. You can meet him though" You nodded and thanked him. Taking a big sigh, you made your way inside.

...

Nothing made sense. The slight pounding in his head was irritating and the only name that rolled of his tongue was his wife's. Y/n, y/n, y/n. Ram's source of comfort. His source of relief. His way of distraction. The woman walking in the ward. Ram called out for her and earned a smile. Her smile. He giggled to himself. Y/n sat beside him on the bed. "How are you feeling?" She asked and caressed his fluffy hair. Ram felt good. "Better" he muttered. Better that she is here. "Why did you wait for me to come? You should have gotten stitched as soon as possible" Ram followed her worried eyes, fixed on his wound. The tears that stuck to the spaces under her eyes. Ram teared up himself to see her crying. Her eyes flickered towards him, catching the glossy eyes, placing her hand on his cheekbone.

"It feels good when you are close" Ram nuzzled in her hand and the warmth sent electric shocks down her body. She could feel the aching smile and her cheeks warm. "My head still hurts" Ram muttered in her palm and she looked at the clotting blood. Ram heard her sigh, "Because they couldn't give you anesthesia." She said and caressed his head. "Do you even know you kept taking my name to get through the pain?" Y/n could feel Ram getting hot under her touch. She giggled at his speechlessness. "I thought you'd like to see me taking your name" Ram muttered and snuggled his face in her hand, avoiding his blushing cheeks and awkward gaze. You giggled looking away, muttering a soft, teary "pagal ho kya?"

A nurse walked in then, with a cold, steel tray, a large red bowl on it. "Mrs. Rama raju?" She asked in the ward and you turned to her, nodding your head. The woman in white and green placed the tray by Ram's bedside and left. You looked at Ram to catch him beaming. "What?" you asked, stirring the orange tomato soup. "Mrs. Rama raju" he muttered in his hoarse voice and you shook your head on his childishness. Ram tried to sit up, with his injured elbow and wounded knee. You sat up his pillow so he can lean on them. You picked the bowl up, scraping the bottom with the spoon to cool the soup. "Did you eat anything?" he asked and you nodded. "I was just going to make dinner when I got the news. I'll eat something at home, you eat this." You raised your hand to spoon feed him, the bangles clinking. Ram moved his head away. "You take some sips first" he said and you hunched down, tired. Not this again. "Ram, this is for you. I'll eat at home" you tried spoon feeding again, when he grabbed the spoon from you. Ram saw your mouth open to retort, but you kept quiet then. "What if they added something harmful in it? As my wife you should take care of that." His eyes met yours, the mischief slurring in them. Ram wouldn't even remember this next day, so you decided to bask in his playful remarks. "Fine" you muttered.

Ram moved the spoon in the bowl in your hand, and scooped the warm fluid up to your lips. You parted them, obliging. He took a longing glance at your lips, when you enveloped the spoon in your mouth. "I wanted to kiss you on our wedding night" The nine simple words sent you in a choking fit. You coughed, the bland soup not making it better. Ram smiled to himself, then pressed the glass water on table to your lips. Tears formed in your eyes as you glared at him, downing the cool water. Ram was snickering. 'What happened, Y/n?" Ram asked as you wiped your mouth. "Eat up" you ordered.

"Y/n?" Ram saw his doctor by the door when he finished his soup. Ram knew his wife was close to this man, a doctor she met when she went out. Y/n got up to see what Victor needed but Ram grasped her wrist. "Ram!" She exclaimed and gasped, looking back at Victor. "Let me go" she whisper yelled to find Ram just staring at her. Victor chuckled and came in the room. "Here are the meds and ointments. Apply these twice in a day and this once. And don't cover the wound, it needs to dry" Victor instructed and you nodded, one hand still in Ram's grip. "He doesn't need to be admitted so you can take him home in a while. I'll drop you two" Victor smiled and you nodded. "Thank you so much doctor, I'd be in so much trouble if it wasn't for you" Victor laughed and placed a hand on your arm, "call me victor only" you nodded, when a nurse called for him. Victor excused himself.

You turned to see Ram's eyebrows furrowed. You sat down, checking the medicines. "Brush your arm" Ram said and you looked at him confused. "What?" As soon as you sat back down, Ram brushed his hand on your arm where Victor touched, as if removing his touch. You gaped at Ram, an angry expression vivid. He settled back on his pillow then, satisfied.

...

You leaned back in Victor's car with Ram on the other side. His driver was in front as you waited for Victor to come from hospital. He said he'll be there in just some minutes. You were more than grateful of Victor, someone to help you out. You looked over at Ram, dozed of by the window. You took off your shawl and covered him up.

The front door opened and Victor climbed in. The loud shutting of Victor's car door shook Ram out of his sleep. He looked at you and back to Victor. Soon after the car took off Ram leaned in. "Excuse me" you were interrupted by Ram- why would he say "excuse me"? "Are you with the doctor?" Ram whispered in your ear. Did the pain killer give him memory loss? You shook your head. "Why?" you asked, and Ram gaped. "Are you free tomorrow?"

"Sure..?"

"Where will you be after work?"

"Our home?" You saw his shawl slipping and fixed it.

Ram's face was taken over by surprise.

"Why are you asking?" You were genuinely confused.

"You are very pretty" he smiled and you gasped, looking away. "I am your wife" you whisper yelled and Ram looked taken aback. He finally took the sight of the gold and black mangalsutra in your neck, the red sindoor up your forehead- as if they brought back his memories. Ram sat back on his seat, nodding. The dark lights outside did enough to hide your blush.

"Everything good?" Victor's voice caught your attention and you nodded. Ram caught you looking at Victor, smiling widely. He looked away, tugging your shawl closer. After about a minute of silence, the car stopped at the familiar place. You thanked Victor once again and stepped out of the car, made your way to the other side of car and helped Ram out. The chilly wind settled in your bones when his car passed by. Ram caught you shivering, your nose cold and fingers red. He opened the shawl and pulled you close in it, wrapping it around the couple in a cocoon. The warmth emitting from him warmed your cheeks, that's what you thought. You both made your way to the wooden door, smiling.
