Kingdom Hearts: SfE Part 2 - The Final Keyhole and the Mark of Mastery

The Neoshadow hissed back at Riku, thankful Master hadn't allowed her fading. It struggled further, giving another tiny whine. It wanted to keep to Master. "Master, please, release me and I will serve you!"

 

OOC:E-CHAAAAAN! I thought you said you wanted to AVOID another trip to the world of darkness! You're not making this very hard to not go heartless slaying!>-<

Riku was starting to give audible growls, confusing Valerie. "Riku, what is it saying?"Valerie asked, not understanding. "Nothing...."Riku lied. "You guys tell me what's going or I'll.... I'll.... I'll take out the bind spell!"Valerie threatened, wanting to know what was going on.

 

OOC: Wouldn't have to go to the world of darkness lol
IC: Gexln thought for a moment."Tempting...very tempting...what would you do though?" he questioned.

 

The NeoShadow, to it's extent, bowed to Gexln. It chittered again, once more swearing loyalty to Gexln. "I will fight until I fade, I will serve you until you are bested. Until then, You are my Night of No Stars."

 

Gexln looked down at Darkness' Sorrow, for a brief moment tempted to slay the Neoshadow. "Sounds...interesting. How would one go about releasing yourself?" he asked, the idea of having a heartless follower becoming more appealing by the second.

 

"I'm not sure if trusting it with servitude is such a good idea, Gexln..."Riku frowned slightly.

 

Gexln looked at Riku. "And why not? A heartless could be a useful ally" he responded.

 

OOC:Oh yeeeah, The group that went to Australia first doesn't know about Chester yet....XD
BIC:
"A heartless for an ally?!"Riku accidentally said that out of the language. "wha-huh? Who told you about Chester?!"Valerie looked suprised. "Chester...?"Riku gave Valerie a small 'what did you do?' look.

 

"You fool! She cannot be allowed to know of what this heartless is speaking of!" he said. He paused for a moment, thinking of a reason Riku may believe. "It would...destroy her hope of getting her friend back" he said at last. "Now tell me why it's a bad idea of having a heartless as an ally."

 

"Oh I wouldn't mind a White Mushroom or a weakling Shadow. But a Neoshadow is a very dangerous creature!"Riku snapped. "This one is trying to lure us into a trap! It definately has Edens cunning somehow..."

 

"Riku, you're delusional. Dangerous as it is, i could slay it with ease. Besides, it said it'll follow and serve me remember?" Gexln pointed out.

 

"Well, er..." Jeffrey couldn't think of anything to say to calm the Keyblade Wielder. "Well, I'm sure Riku wouldn't care too much about it..."

 

Riku sighed. "Alright... We'll let it live for now..."he said. "Are you guys talking about Chester? Because I'll make sure he won't attack anyone! He's just a baby Shadow!"Valerie protested. Riku pretended that he knew what Valerie was talking about. "What did Sora say about keeping h-it."He corrected himself. "He said I could keep him as long as he didn't try to attack anyone..."Valerie lied, not knowing about Sora's changed opinion about the Shadow.
----------
"Liar! Riku wouldn't want to see me like this! and what would the girls say? Oh, they're gonna point out how big I'm getting and laugh about it..."Sora was trying his best not to cry. 'Chester' had gotten onto the bed with Sora, the yellow eyes almost having a look of curiousity in them.

 

"Let it live? I'll do more than that, i'm talking about freeing it, Riku" Gexln said, eyes glimmering with determination.

 

"Alright... I'll undo the bind spell...."Riku lifted a hand, the binds keeping the Neoshadow died fading away like nothing. Valerie looked really confused at the action, not wanting to ask questions.

 

"Good, now step away from the Neoshadow and all will be as it should be" Gexln said, twisting his words intentionally.

 

Riku got away from the Neoshadow, taking Valerie with him. "How long did Sora say it would take for the gummi to get here?"he asked. "Um... he just said he'd be here soon."Valerie specified.

 

The Neoshadow sunk into the ground, emerging beside her Master. "Thank you Master, I am forever your slave..." With a bit of a purr, it glared back at Riku and Valerie, hungry. "May I eat their hearts, please?"

 

Gexln smiled coldly. He waved a hand casually. "Do what you will, but make it quick" he said with a slight laugh.

 

"Gexln!"Riku growled, feeling betrayed. Valerie heard the growl, confused. "what? are you're heartless senses tingling?!"Valerie got ready to take out her daggers.
