(Dan’s P.O.V)
It has been a few days since that Huxley character showed up. Things have been pretty quiet since then. I don’t trust that Huxley. He just appears out of nowhere and warns us about Zeke Ventral who may or may not be our enemy. Although, when he said that he possessed the X-blade, that got me worried. From what I know from the games, the X-blade can only be wielded by someone with a heart of half pure light and the other half pure darkness. Zeke does have the X-blade, which side does he favor? Gah, this is giving me a headache. More of a headache than my encounters with Rainbow Dash.
Right now, I’m walking home after I finished my shift at the bookstore. I got to get home fast cause it my turn to cook tonight. Hopefully Jenny hasn’t tried to take over. *Shutter.* I still don’t understand how that meatloaf was burnt AND frozen at the same time.
As I made my way thru the city, my eyes caught sight of a mop of… silver hair? I saw the silver haired male in front of me about to turn a corner. It was quick, but I saw a glimpse of a familiar face, and bright yellow eyes.
No, it couldn’t be. Crow?
I rush to run around the corner, but there was no sign of him.
Hah~ I must be exhausted. I’m starting to see things. Even if he was here, I wouldn’t want to see him. Pretty sure no one would. After what he’s said and done to us, he can rot in that hell hole for all I care.
(Alex’s P.O.V)
“Alright so that’s two caramel fraps with one extra shot, one with whip and one without. Coming right up!” I read the order back to two girls who were wearing Crystal Prep uniforms. They were pretty cute, time to turn up the charm. “You know I work for tips, but I’ll settle for your phone number.” I’m so smooth.
They smiled a little bit before rolling their eyes… that’s it?
Hah~ man, I’ve been off my game lately. I’ve been thinking about what that Huxley guy was saying. I mean, ever since we got here we’ve been fending off Unversed. Even though we were all new to this Keybearer thing, it seemed to small a problem for us to have any significance. But now we have to deal with this situation with the Ventral guy.
One of the most evil families that ever existed! And god gave someone of their blood the most powerful Keyblade in existence?! Our lives just got way more complicated.
As I was finishing those orders, a sudden flash of silver caught my eye.
Wait… is that crow? Is that him?
Just before I could make sure someone passed in front of my field of vision. When they passed, I was looking an empty table.
Crow… If only things could have ended differently.
(Kira’s P.O.V)
*Splash!*
“WAH!”
Ah man! I’m all wet now! That’s the last time I volunteer to wash Betty.
“Betty, bad girl! You know better than that.” Another girl said to the wet beagle.
She had long pink hair with a butterfly pin on her right side. He skin was a light, buttery yellow, and her eyes were a turquoise color. She wore a white sleeveless shirt and a green skirt with pink frills and a two butterflies on it.
This is Fluttershy, one of the main characters of Equestria girls. Right now I’m volunteering at the animal shelter like I always do. I made friends with Fluttershy a while ago and I’ve been volunteering with her ever since. It was really fun, except moments like this when I get all wet!
Fluttershy went and got a towel for me to dry off. “Sorry about that Kira.”
“Don’t worry. We both know how Betty can get. If she wasn’t a beagle she’d definitely be a chihuahua.” I said as we both laugh together.
It’s moments like these i wish that could last forever. But I know that they would always end rather quickly.
Things are gonna get hectic around here soon. If what Huxley said was true.
Zeke Ventral… If god thought you were worthy enough to pass his test, then there must be at least some good in you. RIght? I just hope everything will work out. For everyones sake.
“Kira? Are you alright?” Fluttershy asked me. Guess I was zoning out.
“Oh! Yeah, I just got somethings on my mind.” I said, “And hey, I’m going to the movies on Saturday with my siblings. You can come too if you want.”
“Meep. I don’t know. I wouldn't want to intrude on your family time.”
“Nah, you won’t. You’re my friend and I’m sure they won’t mind.”
“Um, will *Ahem* Lan be there?” She said with a blush.
Hehehe, so she still has the hot for Lan. And Lan being as dense as he is hasn’t noticed, even when he comes to volunteer sometimes.
I mean I love him, he’s my older brother, but he can be such an idiot sometimes. First Fluttershy, then Applejack, and from what i’ve seen probably Rarity.
Now for those of you who are wondering what the story is behind these three and my brother, well that's a story for another time.
TeeHee!
Breaking the fourth wall is fun!
As I was wiping myself off, i see someone pass the front of the front of the pet store through the window.
Someone with silver hair.
Crow?
No, it can’t be. We’re in a different world. He couldn’t possibly be here.
But, Crow… why did you have to go?
(Jenny’s P.O.V)
“Hah!”
*Clonk!”
“Hah~, Hah~” I panted heavily.
Still not strong enough. If I want to have a chance against someone with the X-Blade, I need to get stronger.
Right now, I’m training in the backyard of our mansion. I was practicing on one of the wooden posts with a steel training sword. Figured it’d be overkill if I used Ursus for training. Unless it’s a spar.
Ever since that Huxley guy came and went, I’ve been training a lot more. I don’t entirely trust him, but I don’t have a reason to not trust him either. He’s another survivor of the Mayan Test, so he can’t be all bad. Even if he is kind of an ass.
The Ventral family, the ones Crow got mixed up with. I won’t be so blind as to blame them for what Crow did. It was his own fault for what he said and did. He just abandoned us for those criminals!
In the middle of my rage, I could swear I saw Crow standing right next to the post. I was too angry to think, so on instinct I rush towards the post. I raised my training sword and brought it down, hard, and tore right through the post.
I look around, and see that I was alone again.
Crow, if we never see you again, it’d be too soon.
(The Next day: Third person P.O.V)
The school day had gone off normally for the students of Canterlot high. All except for our heroes.
What Huxley had said had been weighing heavily on their minds, and it had been a quiet day between them.
They were all walking home together, and the heavy silence continued.
“Okay guy, we’ve been quiet long enough. We need to talk about this.” Lan said. The others sighed knowing he was right.
“I guess we’ve been pretty on edge lately.” Alex said.
“Well yeah!” Jenny yelled, “Obviously! We just meet another survivor from earth, and he just warned us about another survivor who might be building an army of keybearers! How are we supposed to feel?!”
“That, and the fact that we could be facing him soon. According to what Huxley said, he’s planning on going up against him soon. Would we even want to join? It’s his battle after all.” Dan said.
“Even if we did join. Are we even strong enough to face someone like him? He has the X-blade for god’s sake!” Kira yelled.
Silence once again settled.
“I guess what we’re saying is, we’re scared.” Kira finished.
“Guy’s I know we’re scared.” Lan started. “Up until now we’ve only been facing the Unversed. This is all so sudden. But we can’t let this get to us. Remember who we are.”
The others paused, but all cracks smiles at their leader's words.
“Yeah, you’re right.” Alex spoke up first. “We wouldn’t be able to call ourselves the Foretellers if we let something like this get to us. What would our predecessors think of us?”
“I admit, he has a point. Panicking over it will get us nowhere. If we do end up fighting with Huxley against Ventral, we’ll face it head on.” Dan said.
“And if we aren’t strong enough now, we’ll just have to get stronger. And we’ll do it together.” Jenny said
“Just like we always do!” Kira cheered. They all laughed together as the continue their way home.
Until…
“Oh, now sweet.” a cocky voice sounded. “It makes me wanna puke.” Who appeared in front of them, suddenly made their blood run cold.
His hair was short and a shining silver color, his eyes were a fierce yellow. He wore a black leather vest over a white t-shirt with a picture of a black crow on it, and navy jeans. He also wore fingerless black gloves with metal studs on the knuckles.
“Crow.” Lan said breathlessly.
“So I wasn’t seeing things. You really are here!” Jenny yelled
Crow slowly clapped. “Well done Jen. Here I thought Dan was the smart one.” He said sarcastically. “But apparently not smart enough. None of you even realized that we are all alone on this street.”
They looked around to see he was right. They were the only ones present, not another person in sight.
“How are you here?!” Dan yelled. “I know for a fact that god wouldn’t have passed you for the Mayan test.”
“Awww, do you not believe in your best friend? I’m hurt.” Crow said, still sarcastically.
“Answer us you bastard!” Jenny yelled raising her fists.
“So I heard that you guys were the new “Foretellers.” What ever those are. You're supposed to “fight for the light!” Right?” Crow raised his hand, and the Soul Eater blade appeared. “Well my master said it was time for us to get into contact with you. And I want to see how strong my bestest Best Friends have grown.”
Crow slammed his left hand into the ground, and darkness leaked of his body. In an instant, a horde of Unversed appeared out of the darkness. A large number of Shoegazers, Archravens, and Hareraisers. On instinct the five Foretellers put on their masks and summon their keyblades.
“Y-y-you’re responsible for the Unversed?” Kira stuttered.
“That’s right Little Kira! Now here’s how it’s gonna go. My Unversed are gonna kick your asses, but you Lan. YOUR fight is with me!” Crow charged, as well as the Unversed.
(Lan’s P.O.V)
Our blades clashed, and so began a battle between my old brother and me.
The others were battling the horde of Unversed, while I fight Crow. They were fighting valiantly, but the numbers were too great and the Unversed were too strong.
*CLING!*
“Keep your eyes on your opponent!” Crow said as we continue our fight.
After clashing blades a few times I decided to get some distance to perform a skill. “Wind Raid!” I threw my Unicornis at Crow, only for him to disappear in black smoke.
He reappeared behind me, and kicked me a large distance away. “Neat trick. Check this one out. Dark Haze!” Crow was covered in dark smoke before charging at me, delivering a savage blow. I flew even farther before roughly hitting the ground. I tried to get up, but the damage was so great I could only get to my knees.
*Thud.*
I heard a thud behind me. I turned and one by one I saw the others fall and thrown behind me. Crow stood across from us with the whittled down horde of Unversed behind him.
“How did you get so strong?” I asked panting. He started creeping towards us.
“Yeah I’m strong. I learned how in JUVIE!” He punched me across the face. “Now don’t worry “Brother.” I won’t kill any of you… yet. I’m gonna leave you here to wallow in your own weakness, just like how you left me to rot in that hell hole.”
A dark portal opened behind him as the Unversed disappeared. “So long Fam.” With that, he left.
I struggled to stand up, along with the others
“L-Lan.” Jenny tried to say.
“Don’t say it. I know.” I said in a defeated voice.
“We’ve lost.”
