Location: Mysterious Tower, Top Floor
Time: a few hours after Sora's gummy ship disappeared
POV: Riku
I had a feeling that idiot was up to something... I didn't think it would be like this though. Just disappearing like that, right out of the sight of Yen Sid's magic range.
That did NOT sound like the lovable oaf that Kairi and I were friends with. It didn't sound like the idiot that could make friends by simply talking to people.
That sounded more like something happened to the boy I can would call my closest friend... My dark blue eyes fell upon the red haired girl, Kairi, who was trying to find some clothes to change into since she didn't have any clothes for adventuring like Sora and I did.
It sort of brought a smile to my face which I kept hidden with the small part of my hair that was still long.
The uniform Kairi was switching into was her usual school uniform. It was the only thing she owned that she could use for an adventure outfit. It was honestly sort of cute when I thought about it. She is exactly like Sora was when they were friends.
Memories of my times on the islands with him started to fill my head. We were young and started to run around, practicing with wooden swords, exploring, having racing contests and it was all fun. Then things changed to make room for the new girl on the islands and then the heartless attacked.
The memories of that day were still etched into my brain as if it had just happened before me. Then... that boy went through hell and back to get me and Kairi back...
I would repay him ten fold for all those second chances he had given me at a normal life. Even if it meant defeating the new organization on my own, but I knew that couldn't happen.
We needed the boy, and if he was in trouble, I would drag him back to us one way or another.
As I thought on and on about what Sora was doing right now, Kairi's voice slowly cut through them all, like a knife through warm butter. "Riku! Stop ignoring me!" My eyes went to Kairi who was now wearing her school uniform, and having a cute annoyed face on her. IT made me laugh a little bit.
"Hey, what's so funny?" She asked, even more annoyed than before.
"He makes that exact same face when I ignored him on accident." As I pointed this out her expression slowly softened before me and her were both laughing a bit, despite the fact we did not know where out friend had gone. Yet not knowing did not get our hopes down at all. In fact it strengthened our resolves to find him.
As the laughing died down, and with heightened spirits, we turned to the nearby window where my gummy ship, another highwind like Sora's, except with more firepower and speed to it, which was being prepped for launch. Also they guys, as in Goofy and Donald were going to accompany us, since neither Kairi or I knew how to pilot it... also, they wanted to find Sora as bad as we did. I can also already see those two waving at us in their old adventure clothes, trying to get us to hurry up.
We both waved back before descending the stairs of the tower, ready to fight our way through anything to get to Sora. Not even a goddess could stand between them and their friend.
Location: Ponyville
Time: after the drive form was complete
POV: Sora
I stood there, on my back hooves of course, after the light died down. I hadn't expected what I saw next. My clothes were not at all different and I did not have a second keyblade, but instead a party cannon strapped to his left hoof. It was a bit confusing, but it did not matter, as long as Pinkie was safe.
Watch out! Behind you! My eyes widened a bit and I whipped side stepped, letting a soldier heartless whip past me in a whirlwind spin. It missed ad crashed into another heartless, and I couldn't help but giggle. Move forward, another is moving at you from your left. I did what the voice said and this time threw the keyblade at the heartless, destroying them and causing their darkness to let the heart they hid within go.
The voice was faded a bit, but I did recognize it as Pinkie Pie's. Barely though. She gave me dodge directions and I did so, and sometimes she would have me raise up the canon and fire off confetti which pierced through the darkness in a pink light.
One by one the heartless fell, all being slashed down by either the keyblade, or blown away by the party cannon.
Many of the different heartless came form the ground; shadows, big bodies, fat bodies, bandits, air pirates, even a wyrnm or two. Each one meeting the same end after every blow they took. It felt like I was nearly invincible while combined with Pinkie.
Though the form wasn't going to last long, it lasted long enough to completely erase the heartless form the town before Pinkie Pie and I were force-ably separated.
She landed on the ground, on her hooves and panting while I landed on my back and was in a bit of pain. Mostly because my body didn't seem to move as fluidly as it did in whatever it was that combination was.
Pinkie Pie took a drink of water that she pulled out of her mane and soon was bouncing happily, smiling. "That was cool! Let's do that again!"
This caused me to smile and laugh a little bit as I reached for my own drink, a potion. "M-Maybe when I recover." With that, we both laughed and I slowly got up, moving to where I am on my hooves, comfortably on my hooves.
Though I felt like it wouldn't be for long, that this peace would last, but I would enjoy it while it did last. Slowly I turned to Pinkie Pie and smiled before asking, "Um is there anyplace we can rest and eat at? I am famished after that fight." At this Pinkie Pie's grin grew and she grabbed me, quite literally dragging me towards a house that looks like a gingerbread house.
"Of course I do, and it is right here, Sugarcube Corner!"
