//------------------------------// // Chapter 2 pt:1 // Story: Kingdom Hearts: Memory Recovery // by Duelist96 //------------------------------// Roxas slowly got adjusted to his new lifestyle. He has really grown on Lyra and her friends. Especially a certain Pegasus named derpy hooves. He had to call it a day and decided to return to Vinyl's pad and get ready for tomorrow. As he was asleep though, he had a dream that involved his memory. "(Snoring) nnn.... Wh-wha where am I?" "You are currently in your subconscious wielder of the keyblade" called out a voice. "Who are you?" "Someone you already know and one that you need to save for the upcoming battle that requires you and six others." assured the voice. Roxas wasn't sure about himself at the moment, and he couldn't determine the mysterious disfigured body that spoke to him about the upcoming battle that involve him and six other. "What battle? What other's? You're not making any sense. What going to happen?" demanded Roxas. "That is something you must discover on your own Roxas" the voice trailed off and disappeared. "Wait, Wait!" It was too late. She already disappeared leaving Roxas with more questions. As he pondered his thoughts, a large shadow appeared and engulfed him inside. "Auugh!" Roxas heavily breathed. "Ugh just what was she trying to tell me? it just doesn't make any- GAH!" Roxas screamed." "Uagh, oof! Vinyl!" Octavia screamed. Roxas was wondering was that noise was downstairs and when he followed the sound, he saw DJ PON-3 washing the dishes with wubs. Song. Roxas was dumbstruck when he saw a dishwasher that was also a bass player. That was when Octavia stumbled down the stairs and came by to shut off the dubstep dish washer. "Sigh" Octavia said but was still pretty upset. "Uh hey, ya killed the wubs." Vinyl said obviously upset. "Ugh vinyl, how many times do I have to tell you not to wash the dishes so loudly?" "Oh come on Tavi, it's like the beast way to wake up in the morning" "But you have to understand that I don't like waking up that way" "Does this happen everyday?" Roxas said cutting in. "Yes, it does. By the way Vinyl, I especially hate that nickname Tavi." Octavia pointed out. "Aw come on don't do that Tavi". "VINYL" "Whoa hey, just calm down. I want to talk to you girls about something." "Sure what is it?" Asked Octavia. "Have you ever had somepony call to you from within your dreams?" "Watcha mean?" Asked Vinyl. "It happened to me just a little while ago. I tried to see who it was but when I was about to a large shadow engulfed me in its fangs instantly waking me up." "So my wubs didn't wake you up?" "No they didn't, and I feel like these dreams are getting worse for me." "Are you sure Roxas" asked Octavia worriedly. "I'm just so confused. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be doing." Said Roxas who was very frustrated. "Maybe I know somepony who can help you out Roxas." "Who?" "Here name is Zecora. Maybe she can help ya." Vinyl pointed out. "Who's Zecora?" "She's a zebra Shaman that lives in the Everfree Forest. Maybe she can help with the dreams you've been having" "Okay I'll go and see her." "We'll be down by the park later for a picnic and all of our friends are coming." Said Octavia. "The Everfree Forest is right outside of Ponyville if you take a left at the old clock tower." Vinyl pointed out. Roxas thanked Vinyl and Octavia for the info and now he went to visit the one mare who had the answers to his dreams; Zecora. As the Everfree Forest came to sight he felt something lurking behind him. He turned around to spot a creature made out of wood. He wasn't sure what it was but he knew that it wasn't friendly. The first thing he did was run and find shelter. He spotted a hut when he was running and got inside. The creature then left when it spotted the hut. Roxas was relieved that whatever that was stopped chasing him, but that was when he heard a voice behind him. "This must be from the heaven's skies to see a young colt before my eyes." said the voice. "You must be Zecora?" "Yes indeed. Would you like some tea?" "Yes thank you." As they sat down, Zecora asked why he came all the way out here to see her. Roxas then explains his dream to her and what he is supposed to do. "This dream is of an upcoming battle you say, then you must be prepared for what is coming your way." "But my dream didn't say who or what I will be fighting, but it did say that I wield a type of blade." "That is a true mystery indeed, but I am not sure what you need. You must search for you memory for it hold's the key to your destiny." "Thank you, Oh on my way over here, what was that thing that chased me awhile ago? It was made out of wood." "That was a Timberwolf that hunts, and are dangerous when in a bunch." "Wonder what else is in this forest?" he thought. He thanked Zecora and was cautious about his surrounding on his way back to Ponyville. He remembered that Vinyl and her friends wanted to meet him at the park to get to know him better. He arrived at the park to spot Vinyl and the others waiting for him on a blanket. "Hey ya made it." Called Vinyl. "Hey" Called Roxas. "It's good to see you" Said Octavia. "So your the one that Pinkie pie was talking about?" said the lavender Alicorn. "Uh, who are you?" said Roxas noticing a group of six ponies. "Oh I haven't introduced myself yet. My name is Twilight Sparkle." Said the lavender Alicorn. "Howdy their partner. Mah name's Applejack." Said a blonde mare. "Rarity. Pleased to meet you darling." said a snow white mare with a curly mane. "The names Rainbow Dash. the fastest flyer in Equestria." said the brash cyan mare. "I'm Pinkamena Diane Pie, but everypony call me Pinkie." Said the pink mare with a cotton candy mane." "I'm FlutterShy." said the very shy pony. "I'm sorry what was that?" asked Roxas since he couldn't hear her correctly. "FlutterShy" she replied. "Oh that's a very nice name." "So these are your friends Vinyl?" "Yeah. These girls aren't just my friends though." "Why does she have both wings and a horn?" asked Roxas pointing to Twilight. "Oh that's because Twilight's a princess." Roxas was very surprised to hear that. He has never met a princess before. "Oh p-please forgive me for not being aware of your title." He stuttered. "Oh don't worry about that. Just tall me Twilight." "Hey Vinyl said something about meeting you here, So where'd you run off to?" Asked Rainbow Dash "I Went to see Zecora about a dream I've been having." "A dream." They all said Simultaneously Except for Vinyl and Octavia. "Ooh What was it about?" Asked Pinkie Pie all giddy. "I rather not bring it up. I still don't understand what it means." Roxas stated. "Are you sure Roxas?" Asked Rarity. "I'm very sure Rarity. I did thank her for hearing about my dream though." "Okay then. Everypony my band and I are going to be playing a show in Canterlot and you are all invited as my guests." Said Octavia "We're all invited?" Said Roxas. "Yes Roxas. It would be nice if you came along to." "Thank you." After that Roxas and the other were ready to get on the train to Canterlot for Octavia's show. But along the ride, Roxas's dream continued to bother him in an unexpected way. He saw a vision of a girl he met before. He wanted to tell the others but he decided to brush it off and leave it at that.
