//------------------------------// // Chapter 16: Students vs. Teacher... // Story: When Runes Come // by deathisupon //------------------------------// I am sitting at the table in the guest room with a paper, ink and quill. Writing my report to the princess' when I heard groaning on the bed to my right. "What happened?" He asked himself as he raises his head and look around. "Hello." I say from behind him. Causing Drake to jump and fall off the bed. "What are you doing here! Where is here! If you won why haven't you killed me!?" He shouted in surprise. I get up and go over to him. "I'm here on a mission, In Princess Twilight's castle, Yes I won but I don't kill." I answer his questions as he groaned. "What is your reason on being here? And I mean in this room not your mission." He asked me and I laugh. "Well I gotta keep all the people I'm responsible for in good shape. Even if they try to kill me once or twice." I say nonchalantly and reach a hand for him to grab. He gives me an unamused look and grab my hand. I pull him to his feet and turn to the door and call for Twilight. She quickly came and did the whole medical procedure of changing the bandages on his arms, legs, and hip. After making sure he was healthy she gave me a thumbs up and walk to me. "What are you gonna do with him? He did try to kill you." She asks me to where Drake can't hear. "I'm gonna do nothing." I say and she goes wide eyed. "Well it looks like you can move again. That's great and all but I need to ask about the organization. Do you know their plans?" I ask him and he shakes his hand side to side. "What I know is that the leader wants you dead no matter what. I heard that he went to the same school as you. But by the time he gained the courage to talk to you it was to late and you moved. He looked up to you as a hero." Drake said and I raised my brow. Then it hit me. "He saw that? I thought nobody witnessed that." I mumble to myself. "Do what exactly? I did nothing spectacular in my universe." Drake asked I sighed. "...My sister which is two years younger than me was being bullied and one day the bullies walked up to her and dragged her to a ally. She was then kicked and punched until she was hurting all over but little did they know I was behind them until it was to late. I tapped one on the shoulder and when he turned I punched him so hard he flew back a couple feet. The three other bullies saw what happened and the 'leader' said to teach me a lesson. I knocked the one on the left out and saw the right one grab a bat and swing. I ducked under the swing and punched the kids knee. making him fall to his knee and look up in time to see my fist meet his face. Then the leader grabbed a metal pole and went to do a overhead swing down. I rolled as soon as I saw his shadow and dodged. I then grabbed the pole with one hand and swung at his wrist with me other hand. causing the 'leader' to let go and start to back up. when he finally noticed he was outmatched he flew the coop." I say. "My sister wouldn't let go of my arm. Even when we got home she wouldn't. She even slept in my bed! Of course I let her." I told him. Drake sat there and absorbed the information. I can tell because of the fact he's been quite for a couple minutes. "What are you gonna do?" Drake asked and I shrugged. "I just kinda go with the flow." I say and start walking to the door. "Wait!" Drake said quickly. "What are you gonna do about me? I did attack you. And there were witnesses." Drake asks and I chuckle. "I did nothing to the last two. What makes you think ima do anything now?" I say as I turn around and walk out the door. I walk around to try to find Sora when I felt a dark presence enter the room. "So you gonna keep watching me or are you gonna fight me soon?" I ask the dark presence. I hear an ominous chuckle echo in the room. "What makes you think I need to do anything? Prince of Between." I immediately get into a fighting stance. "So I'll do you a favor and tell you. I won't send anything to attack this world if you come to my lair." He said and dissipated into shadows. I put the keyblade away and notice a piece of paper. It reads Castle Oblivion at tallest tower. I quickly walk towards the exit when I ran into Sora and Twilight. "Tell Celestia I'll be gone for a couple days." I tell them as I continue walking. I hear their footsteps behind me as I walk outside and towards an open area. "Where are you going?" Sora asks but I ignore him. When I get to the opening I was about to summon my keyblade to turn to a glider when I was striked in the back. I turn and see Sora with his keyblade out. "Tell us where your going please? I've never seen you this serious." Twilight asks from behind Sora. "Don't get in the way. I got something to deal with." I tell them and go to turn when I see Sora charge at me. I quickly jump out of the way and swung at Sora. "Don't make me do something you will regret." I tell them I see them both nod at each other. I sigh and prepare to defend myself. They both charge at me, Sora using his swordplay skills and Twilight using magic missiles. I dodge out of the missiles way while parrying Sora. I saw them both quickly charge at the same time and smirk. I jump out of the way and hit Twilight. The hit sent her tumbling forward and groan as she face plants into the dirt. Sora quickly turns and goes to hit me when I parried his strike and strike him in the face. Making him stumble backwards while holding his face. I was about to hit him again to knock him out when a flash happened behind me. I turn and see all my students looking at me. "Are you guys here to try to stop me too?" I ask sadly. When they looked at me. "Why won't you tell anyone where your going?" My mom asked me and I stayed silent. "Why won't you talk to anyone about your problems? What are you hiding this time? What is your plan once you get where your going?" Celestia asks and I turn. I try to turn my keyblade into a glider when one of the students threw a keyblade at me. I dodged because they yelled when they threw it. "Luna you need to learn not to yell if your doing a sneak attack." I say as I turn and point my keyblade at them. I watch Celestia and Luna cast a barrier spell. When a keyblade suddenly hits me and I flew into a tree. I hear everyone but Sora and Twilight gasp. When I get back up I see Twilight up and charging a spell for a missile. I cast Waterga fire it at Twilight. Who quickly replaced the missile spell with a barrier. Sora charged at me again and goes to strike me. I dodge out of the way and swung at him as hard as I could. Sora went flying into Twilight's barrier and shattered it. The feedback didn't help her all that much. I quickly charged and swung at Twilight. When Sora blocked again. This time though I got struck in the back. I quickly jump to the side to dodge another swing. I look to see my sister there. "Why won't you answer us! We're trying to help you!" She yelled and I turned my head away. It'll be better if I go alone. I won't let anyone walk into a trap with me. I look back in time to see Luna charge at me. I parry the attack and jump back to dodge the attack from Celestia. I went to swing but Mom got in the way and parried me. I jumped back before Dad could hit me. I'm starting to get ticked off. I think they noticed by my twitching eye. I look and see one option of winning this. I smile before pulling out a key chain. when I switch the Key Chains out the keyblade changed to a mint green keyblade with a lyre on it. "Thank you Lyra! really glad I helped you out." I say to myself. The Keyblade's ability is that it increases speed and strength. I smirk and charge. The others eyes widen at my increased speed and try to block. only for me to hit Sora in the back and send him flying. I quickly follow him and go to slam him when someone shot a missile at me. I quickly look at the person who shot me and see it was Twilight. "What? Think we would let you do something you would regret?" Twilight said. Then notice the 4 Alicorns charge their horns for an attack. I hear Sora groan and realized what is about to happen. I quickly cast a barrier to protect Sora and the Alicorns shot the laser that combined. The barrier I put up isn't holding up to the laser and noticed them looking to hit me. I notice Sora stand up and look up at me to see the barrier. "Get out of here before they badly hurt you." I told Sora slightly strained as I look to him. "What's happening?" He asks and I sigh. "I pushed a little too hard... the Alicorns all shot a laser at once." I told him and he quickly went to the side. I notice the barrier starting to crack when a idea came to me. I started concentrating and noticed the other soul within me and called to him. "Yes Prince?" The same cloaked person as before showed up. "How does the power of the between work?" I asked and he shrugged. "Can I use it to do something like teleport?" I asked and he nodded. "Sweet! You might wanna go now. I'm about to do something stupid." I say with a sadistic smile and see him shake his head as if he expected something else. Then he vanished as I looked back at them. I noticed the barrier starting to get some cracks I look under the laser and noticed that they were starting to get closer but someone's missing. Where's discord? "Why hello there." I hear from behind me and I jump and swing. "Whoa calm down buddy." Discord said and teleported. I hear Discord tell them I know the location of them. I smirk and started to focus on teleporting behind Celestia. When the spell was done I opened my eyes and teleported. I then quickly swung and hit the back of her head. Cutting off her part of the laser and become wide eyed. When she turned and swung at me I quickly jumped back and quickly hit her hand that's holding the keyblade. Making her drop the keyblade. I then punched her while she held her wrist. Sending her back two feet. Which was enough to alert everyone I escaped and got Celestia "Why won't you tell us where you need to go!?" Luna yelled as she swung at me. "Because if I told you 'Hey i'm going to be walking into a trap be back soon!' You guys would try to follow me!" I yelled and watch her and Sora's eyes go wide and I quickly turn and start running. I turned my head back and saw Twilight following me. I quickly summoned my keyblade and started to turn it into a glider but a missile was shot at me. What was different though was I was starting to hear her wings flap. and her tackle me. "Let me go! If i don't go now I might never get this opportunity again!" I shout. "What are you talking about! What is this opportunity?" Twilight asked. "To end the suffering of my other selves!" I yell and push. She got off me and I quickly jumped to the keyblade glider just in time to see everyone arrive.
