Video Game: Kingdom Hearts SOS: The Road To Light

Reprising away from the now unconscious Luna, Krowley stood to find that the Princess was long gone. He clenched and shook his fists at his sides in frustration. He looked as if he was going to yell out. Instead, he unclenched his fists and just took in a deep sigh. Any plan he conducted was always sidetracked, altered, or flipped. The difficult of keeping things in order became as hard as drawing a straight line with his mouth.
He looked down at the passed out hostile and slapped her lightly on the face a few times.
"Hey, no sleeping on the job." He looked up at the other two for any type of support.

 

Karina had decided that she didn't like Luna at this point so she chose not to answer any of her questions. "We should go find that girl before she get herself hurt." Karina said in a cold tone. She didn't look at anyone while she said it instead she was still staring down the path that Snow whit head fled.

 

"There she is Little John... Isn't she beautiful?
Robin Hood admired his childhood sweetheart from afar, as he peered at her through his half complete disguise. Entranced, he nearly walked out into the public before being pulled back by Little John.
"Hold up there lover boy, your heart's running away with your head.
"Oh stop worrying, this disguise would fool my own mother!"
Robin portrayed his elaborate peasant Stork costume, showing his eyes to be the only recognizable quality.
"Yeah? Well your mom ain't here. You got to fool ol' Bushel Britches," he said pointing to the sheriff. "And as for the rest o' yous; try not to repeat what happened in town. This may be Rob's only shot to get close to Marian." he signaled them with his trademark wink, putting the finishing touches on his own disguise. His outfit comprised of Shakespearean clothing, having poofed pants, a monocle, cane, and large hat with even larger feather. His entire attire was colored florescent pink.
"No if you'll excuse me, I must go an lay a scene on Old Prince John," he laughed in a Royal tone, strutting towards the phony king's tent.
Tying his false beak around his head, Robin looked to the others with their individual clothing.
"Looking Sharp everyone!"
The Elephants once again blasted their trunks to signal that the tournament was starting to begin.
"Well, that's our queue, let the performance commence!" Robin trotted out on his storkly spindled legs motioning for the others to follow.

-------------------------------------------

Krowley chose to ignore Luna's actions for now. "Forget it, just keep moving."
He wouldn't deal with this. He couldn't deal with this. Obstacle after obstacle, everything always seemed to be in his way. He began feeling some inner regret asking upon other for help. This grew into too many things he couldn't keep track of. He began to think of what the other groups would be doing right now. Not that Krowley was the most qualified, but his experienced surpassed theirs, even if only by a year or so. Choosing to just complete his next objective, he trekked on with the other three to the edge of the forest. There, Snow White stood in front of a small cottage, observing the small house in the forest clearing.
"Oh it's adorable... Just like a doll's house."
She seemed to have calmed down a bit, but he chose to keep back and see how this developed. Her demeanor was calm, and she kept to one place, Krowley didn't want to jynx that by approaching her.
The maiden knocked a few times on the door to see if anyone could assist her.
"Guess know one's home," she said aloud. She looked to a dusty window only to see how dark it was inside. She then slowly turned the door handle to find it was unlocked and she ventured into the house.
Despite his better judgment, he turned and chose to go back to the Castle.
"That settles that... She's safe and we can go back to deal with the Queen now."

~Back at the Castle~

"Blundering fool, you return to me without results?"
In her chambers, the Queen was speaking directly with Vanitas. who leaned on a nearby wall.
"My results will reveal themselves when they're good and ready."
"You said you had them in the woods."
"I did, but some keywielders prevented the delivery. What's more, they took her to some cottage clearing outside the forest."
"Insolence! I told them to return her to me, not to push her further away!"
"Well then I guess you're the one to blame in this instance it seems. Doesn't matter, I'll just go back and-
"No- I've sent enough bearers to do my dirty work.. I'll go myself to that cottage."
"Whatever, mind explaining how you plan to get her back? Will you knock on the door or window."
"Never mind that. Be gone with you! You have failed your purpose."
Picking himself up from the wall, Vanitas opened a corridor of darkness saying; "Your funeral," before walking through.

Karina could tell that Krowley wasn't in a good mood, so she followed him all the way to the cottage in silence. She didn't want to get on his bad side and be asked to leave since she really didn't have anywhere else to go. She couldn't go home since she ran away to come here and she was not familiar with any other worlds. Not once did she look at Luna the entire way, she mostly kept her eyes down looking at the ground, until they saw Snow White. She watched to make sure she was safe then turned to Krowley when he started to speak. Still she said nothing.

 

Raisor and Kross were both silent. "Um. All right." Aden tried to cough, but it sounded like a strangled squawk. "Let's finish this up and get back to Bambi, shall we?" He lashed out at the coonhound once more with his Keyblade. Hopefully this would be done quickly...

 

He paused at the Luna's comment. He began to question and examine his options.
Would dividing be the better option?
What if Vanitas reared his head against two novices?
Could he risk another "Luna-tic" moment?
While dividing help progress things, sticking together was wiser. As much as he wanted to get things done, everyone's safety was sill crucial.
Their chances were better together, he thought.
"She'll be fine. The house looks abandoned, and she should be safe so long as she doesn't do anything rash."
Of course, this was a princess. All Krowley could do was hope for the best as he lead the others through the forest back to the castle.

--------------------------------------

Little John made his way, dawdling back and forth towards the phony king of England. On his route he unknowingly passed Nequa, whom he had not met yet. Nonchalantly, he tipped his hat to her, "Good day, madame."
While she saw passed his disguise she merely chuckled. "You must be joking..."
"I do not joke, maiden," he defended. "I am Sir Reginald, Duke of Chutney!"
"Of course you are..." Nequa stood as a fun opportunity presented itself. "Prince John is right through there."
"Thank you kindly M'lady," Little John continued as Nequa watched him introduce himself.
"Oh this will be a fun tournament indeed..."

**************

The Elephants blew their horns for the third time, marking all archers to line up single file for the tournament to begin.
Lead by the royal guards, they began to march towards their targets. Little John was the only one from their group not participating as he was next to the Prince and Maid Marian fooling the unsuspecting Royal.
The Captain of the royal guards, which was the form of an Alligator, walked up to the prince with a golden arrow on a pin cushion.
"Your Highness. With your royal permission, we are ready to begin."
The lazy prince lounged in his throne, lifted his hand and order him to proceed.
The Alligator Captain turned to the archers and viewing public to make the official proclamation.
"The tournament of the Golden Arrow will now begin! Only the four best archers will make it to the final round!"
Cheers from the crowd echoed vastly inside the tournament surroundings.
The Elephants blew their horns a fourth turn, signalling the archers that they were free to shoot.

 

Karina considered offering to stay behind to protect the girl but she knew that no one would trust her there alone, and she refused to be stuck there with Luna. The other guy she didn't really know what she thought about him but he was too quiet and she didn't really want to be stuck with him either. Krowley obviously led this team so he wouldn't stay behind to protect the girl. After going through her options in her head she decided to just go with what they were doing and stay quiet. She was not exactly sure what they were going to do but she would just play along with it. As they walked she decided to remain at the back of the group as to not be disturbed. She liked the quiet and was much into socializing with the others, especially Luna.

 

Yen Sid gracefully walked down the staircase as he always did, to see the young girl at the head of the hall. He had just finished some of his own investigating. He eyed her as she appeared to be talking to herself.

"So much is going on... where the heck am I supposed to go?" she asked herself.
"If you wield the key, I would recommend fighting alongside allies," the wise wizard exclaimed to the mystery girl reading the book. Finishing his cascade down the steps, he began to introduce himself. "I am Master Yen Sid... What might your name be?"

---------------------------------

The walk back to the castle was dead silent.
The four walked in near single file as no one said a word throughout the trek. Krowley himself felt he had spoken too much and messed up to often to try and remedy the quiet with conversation. He simply did as the others did and thought to himself while hearing nothing but the grass beneath his feet. Even Noroz, who was ecstatic when they arrived, had remained mute since their fight in the forest.

Without speaking, they had made it back to the castle grounds at the courtyard. As instructed, the prince had fled the scene along with his white stallion. There were no creatures in sight either, which made him suspicious...
Rushing cautiously to where they had exited, Krowley found the hidden staircase in which they had previously exited from.
"Let's go..." he silently spoke.

"No need to fear child, you are among friends now," he said reassuringly. Looking around, he came to the realization that he was still the only one there. "Or at least one friend.." he claimed giving off a small smile. He put his hand on her shoulder and spun her back around to the open book. "To answer some of your queries, there are indeed masked assailants kidnapping novice keybladers as part of some unknown scheme..." He spoke over the quill that continued to write in the enchanted book, flipping from page to page, chronicling as quickly as possible.

"Few, have travelled from their homes in hopes of avoiding them, while others have offered to help... Whatever the reason, we have gathered quite the assemblage of volunteers. In fact, they are all traversed to multiple worlds in hopes of broadening their search," he continued.

"As to my knowledge, there are currently three worlds available to visit." He walked with his robe dragging along the ground to the small Holo-almanac device which portrayed the three worlds. "While I am no man of science, I'm sure if you follow this map, you should be able to find the others..."
Before Xara, showed three World's in small holographic bubbles;




"As to which... That is for your heart to decide..." he said ominously as he went on to walk about the Guild Hall. "Oh yes, and welcome to our resistance," he said smiling, before resuming his stroll.

 

"Yeah, I realize that..." Aden grumbled around his Keyblade, attacking the dogs more furiously. One of them yipped loudly and started whimpering when Aden slashed at its back legs. "These guys can't stay up for much longer, can they...?"
