Chapter 12: The first hoard

It's around 7 0'clock when I went to Luna's room. When I reached the door where the guards are they salute and step aside. while I'm walking by I heard a guard whisper to me saying nice catch. But I mostly ignored him and continued towards the door.

I knocked on the door three times and stood there waiting. after a couple of seconds the door opened and she stepped out. My jaw fell at how amazing she looked in the dress she's wearing. the dress was a galaxy purple with some deep blue lines curving in a specific pattern to make it look like a galaxy.

"Well how do I look?" She asked me. "Drop dead gorgeous." I barely spit out. She blushes and giggles. "Well you look very handsome yourself Jake." She told me. I blushed a little and turned away. "Come on. Lets go to the restaurant I want to try out. I heard they are open 24/7." I told her. She was intrigued with the idea of a restaurant that's open all day and night.

When we finally reach the restaurant I went in and went over to the hostess. "I'm here on a reservation for two." I told her. "What is your tables name?" She asked me. "Jake Heartfield." I told her as she looks through the list of names. "Ah here you are. If you will please follow me to your table." We follow her to the table. When we got to the seats the Hostess left and went back to the pedestal.

I grabbed a menu and searched through the contents. when i finished looking through I saw the waitress coming over here. "May I take your orders?" She asks. "I would like the fried veggie dish with a bottle of red wine please." I told her. "What wine do you want?" She asked. "Surprise me." I told her. "And I'll like the fried veggie dish as well." Luna told the waitress. The waitress nodded and went to the back where they proceeded to cook the food.

"So how do you like the restaurant Luna?" I asked her. This restaurant isn't quite like the other fancy restaurants. It has more of a country feel with a hint of fancy. "This place feels different from the other restaurants. But it has a more homey vibe to it." She said. I nodded to show I agreed. "So what were some of the things that you like to do when your not doing your royal duties?" I asked her. thinking there must be something that would be interesting to talk about.

"Well since I've been in the night duty for so long I like to stargaze. But there is one thing I've been doing recently. I've been wondering how people play music so well." I laughed at this. "What's so funny about what I said?" Luna asked. "I'm wondering if my guitar skills are Still as good as ever." I told her. she looked at me curiously. "You play an instrument? Were you a part of a band?" She asked me. "Nope. I was never able to be in a band. But I did play to just play. Never interested in being a band." I said. the waitress came with our food and gave it to us. We thanked her and started to eat.

"So what about this restaurant caught your eye?" She asked. I looked around. "They have a no racist policy." I told her. She looked confused at that. "I'm not going to go to a restaurant looking for a good time and get called stuff that's demeaning." I told her. "So when I saw the sign of rules saying everyone is allowed I just had to check it out. And I might just come back here at some point. It's nice being out and eating.".

As soon as I finished eating I heard a loud scream. I turned around to see the hostess running from a Heartless. I quickly summon my keyblade and jump at the Heartless. killing it in one hit. "Luna get everyone Into the corner. It'll be easier for me to protect them." I assumed she nodded and went to gather everyone in the corner. I see people outside running away from even more heartless. "Shit! Gotta get outside and help people." I rushed to the door. and opened it. "EVERYONE! IF YOU WANT TO LIVE GET OVER HERE NOW!!!" I yelled with so much command that even the ones trying to fight quickly ran into the restaurant. Okay then lets do this. I cast lightga. and got rid of the enemies five feet in front of me. but this was a swarm. I casted flare and shot it up. but it ended up hitting something from the sky and killed it. Shit we cant contact the others.

"Luna get over here!" I yell towards the restaurant. "Coming master." I hear from inside. "What's the problem?" She asked me. "I wont be able to get a flare off because there are Heartless that are flying around. so I need you to go up there and fight them while I deal with the rest of these." I told her. her gaze turns to nervousness. "Are you sure I'm ready for something like this?" She asked me. I laughed. "Well if you don't think about everyone in this dome. If you don't they will most likely die anyway. Even I will die with this many." I told her. Her gaze went from nervous to determined. "Okay then. I'll get through and fire off a flare." And she took off.
"Alright lets do this." I said to myself as I started to get surrounded.

they send out three and I take them out. and they keep sending out more and more. there are mostly Shadows and Neoshadows. But there were some soldiers and there was even a couple sniper wilds. I know about the sniper wilds because they keep shooting at me. So I'm constantly dodging bullets and everything. This is when I noticed there is a Kid in the middle of them. but is surrounded. I started to jump from head to head and right as soon as a heartless was about to get them I picked them up and continued. Then the Shadows started to decide I was still stronger. so they started to form into Demon Tides. And they started to come at me. I dodged two of the but wouldn't be able to dodge the third one. so I jumped and I scraped my leg against it.

I landed on it and started surfing. While it was going I casted thundaga. Then in front of the restaurant where everyone is watching. They see me carrying a kid and gasp. then the mother yells and tries to open the door. I then hoped off and went to the door. I opened it and tossed the kid into the arms waiting for her. then I rushed out.into the fray. I guess this is when the unicorns agreed to help because when a heartless was about to get me in the back I noticed a shield made of magic. I looked into the restaurant and noticed that three horns were holding the shield. they rushed outside and came to me. "We will be your shield. so you don't have to worry about your back." I nodded my thanks and turned back to the heartless swarm. While turning back I looked up to see Luna killing a Air soldier. and continued to go through them like nothing. I looked down and swung as soon as a heartless tried to swipe at me. It died instantly. and started to cast spells.

this went on for a few minutes. And there were a couple of close calls but a shield casted by the unicorns pushed them back. when I noticed the sky shining. I looked up to notice that Luna shot of the flare. I smiled and looked at the unicorns. "Our backup is arriving here soon." as I looked in front of me. "Like right now." When they looked they see heartless flying all over the place. then I noticed the Demon tides were forming again. I grinned. "Whelp looks like my rides arrived.I think you three should go back into the restaurant and put a shield up." They nodded and rushed back in As soon as the Demon tide started coming my way. I jumped up onto it's back and rode it all the way to the backup. when I noticed a Demon tide going for them I jumped off mine and landed in front of it and parried. the demon tide away. And in the nick of time too. It was right in front of Celestia.

"Hello everyone. I turn the restaurant into a safe place with the help of a couple of unicorns. Oh my rides back so cya there." When they looked at me as i turned. a demon tide came at me and i jumped onto it. riding it to the restaurant. before I was out of site I turned and looked at their shocked faces. I landed on another demon tide and striked it down with a couple of hits. After dealing with the smaller demon tide I turned to the other demon tides. they were changing into a demon tower. Which is a heavy hitter instead of speedy. They dove into the ground and vanished. I looked around till I noticed the dark pool under me. I jumped to the side and out of there in time to watch it come out of the ground and try to get me like that. I swung my keyblade at it and noticed it did nothing.

So I changed the keyblade. I switched from the kingdom keyblade to A key chain I was given by Luna. then proceeded to get through them. This keyblade gives me an affinity to dark. I will also take less damage from beings of darkness. So I charge in and dive into the tower. and start swinging. since it takes a while to consume me. And then it explodes. sending Shadows everywhere. and once the shadows hit the ground instead of disappearing it goes into the keyblade I'm wielding. weird... As I go to dive into the next one I noticed that my keyblade was trying to tell me something was behind me. When I turned I noticed that there is a darkside. I was paralyzed. I snapped out of it when I noticed it went to swing at me. I jumped onto its arm and ran to its face. Hitting it five times before being forced to retreat.

I shot up a Black flare. Hoping that everyone sees it and run. I quickly run to the restaurant. and kick open the door. "Okay I need everyone to start heading to the castle. when you go bye the backup tell them to flee. there is no helping me out in this situation, now go!" When I yelled go they took off running that way. I turn and jump Just in time to see a fist where I once was standing. Then I cast waterga at the darkside. Hitting it and getting it wet. Then I built up energy and went to cast thundaza. But a heartless out of nowhere hit me and made me stumble. I turn and swung at it killing it and noticed that there are some people running this way.

All the students were coming with a look of determination on all their faces. And Merlin is right behind them. I look up and noticed the darkside is getting bigger. "Fine you want to play rough, I'll play." And activate Harmony form. which allowed me to float. I have about two minutes before time for this form runs out and I go unconscious. I then flew as fast as I could behind his head and swung down onto it. It roared out in pain and went to swipe at me like I'm a bug. I hear the keyblade tell me a new incantation. "Are you sure it will work?" I asked it. I felt it nod and smile. "Perniciosa Tenebris" and that was all I remember Before I blacked out from the form.
