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

Eden nodded. "So, where do we begin? I want this to be as quick as possible, I want to be home before January." her flickering eyes calmed down. "I'd more rather like to be home before Friday." she kept up her poker face, walking forward. "To Merlin's house I presume?" she followed swiftly, but it was very evident there was a slight limp in her steps.

 

"Yup! the big HQ for our top-secret...well, not stop secret but super important.....group."Yuffie shrugged at her lack of details. "If you really want to train, Leon and I discovered something super cool while going into Ansems computer! Tell them what we found, Squalleon!"she seemed to be full of excitement.

 

"A world inside a computer," Leon told Eden, not knowing that she already knew about it. "The software was copied from a company called ENCOM in some other world."

"Well, then you should practice more," Jeffrey replied, laughing slightly.

 

"And more recently an upgrade for the world that had already existed in his computer! We installed it right away, though we haven't tested it out to see what kind of upgrades there were to the system yet."Yuffie shrugged. "But for some reason ever since we upgraded Tron hasn't made contact...I wonder why..."she shook it off. "But you guys are here for training. You probably wouldn't care about that.
-------------
"Raaaawr."Valerie said, hearing the small chuckle from Sora. "We heeeard yooou~"She said in a sing-song voice. "Sorry...I just wanted to see if you guys were doing anything good... Riku and Kairi won't let me help with the preperations..."Sora came out of hiding.

 

"Tron could be useful. His computing skills could be handy to try and send messages across worlds. Maybe he can send an email to my family. I would like to finally meet him in person, not as someone else..." She muttered the last part, not wanting to ruin their minds of how this all used to be a game, but now real life. "But when we are done, training commences."

 

"Hmm....Well, we were kinda hoping to show Sora too...but if he's not coming... I mean, he played a major role helping us out.... true the first time was a complete accident but-"Yuffie paused. "Speaking of which, how has Sora been doing?"she asked.

 

"Pregnant. And for the most part, I don't care. Come on, now." Eden hopped up a bit quicker in her pacing, retracing her steps to go through Radiant Garden from the way she remembered it.

 

"Oh, well that explains-"Yuffie took in what Eden said. "Wait, what?"she did a doubletake at the information. "Huh! Never figured with that hair that Sora was a girl..."she said, shrugging her shoulders.

 

"He wasn't." Eden went on further, trying to pace herself with a pained leg. Wincing here and there, she went off into the world of Radiant Garden, almost slipping out of sight. She was, sadly, getting lost. "It's been so long since I've played..." she muttered, noticing changes of the once familiar things that kept her on the right path.

 

"Wait, then how-HEY! Don't go off without us!"Yuffie warned. She huffed, crossing her arms. "I wonder what kind of mean world she came from..."she frowned.
--------
"Sorry, Sora- we have nothing for y-for yo....fo y-"Valerie suddenly sneezed. "Oh, bless you. That was out of nowhere."Sora was a bit suprised at the sneeze.

 

Eden waited for Yuffie, Leon, and Gexln, wondering if they'd be able to see her. So what would she do? What else? Light herself on fire, a signal flame. There, that'd help. Let's hope my guides are faster this time.

 

"Who knows..." Leon trailed off, seeing the flames in the distance. "What's that?"
---
"Have you caught a cold?" Jeffrey asked. Funny, considering we were just talking about swimming... he thought.

 

"Nah, just had a sneeze. weird."Valerie shrugged. "Well with how things are going the festival should be ready soon...at least the festival will have lots of entertainment."Sora smiled. "You wanna leave as bad as the rest of us do, don't you?"Valerie asked. "yeeesss.... But we're stuck here though, aren't we?"Sora sighed in defeat. "Eeyup."Valerie said, simply as possible.
-------------
"Dunno, but it looks like our drifter!"Yuffie followed the signal fire, curious. "I wonder why this girl has such a grudge on Sora...."

 

Eden put out her fire, noticing the group and hopping towards them. She kept her blank stare, wincing as the last hop was on her right foot. "Oof." She muttered. "Alright Yuffie, how would this training commence anyway? Is it based on magic and combat?"

 

Yuffie opened her mouth as if preparing a speech long tutorial on combat. "Hey, Leon- you're better at explaining than I am, why don't you explain it?"she asked.

 

"Judging from that fire you just made, you have some magic skill already," Leon told Eden. "And I'm assuming you already have combat experience. We should probably spar to start off. Would you rather start with physical training or magical?"
---
"Well, we'll be out of here in a few days, once the baby's born," Jeffrey said, putting his hands behind his head. "The only question is... how?"

 

"A mix. See what I'm comfy with. I am certainly better with keeping a distance, though close combat may be better for me. And my magic isn't as controlled as I'd like, but it works." Eden summoned her red, fire fueled Keyblade, taking an awkward stance. It had the blade in her dominant hand, in a defensive position in front of her torso, and a hand raised to add extra force to any close combat attack.

 

"Oh! Oh! Riku still has his bag, right?"Valerie came up with an idea. "He could use the teleportation spell and get us out of here..."she said. "I dunno... It might work but.... to go between worlds might need alot of energy with the spell..."Sora said, frowning slightly.
----------------------------
"Alright! If you want an in between you have the people!"Yuffie said. "So which one do you wanna fight, me or Squalleon here?"she gestured to Leon.

 

"Leon. He takes himself more seriously, and fights long range with his gun-blade, but balances that to put distance by offence. Then later, I will fight you, as I recall you fight with a giant shuriken and like to fight at a ranged distance." Eden racked her brain for all these memories, and she would try to win.

 

"Alright. Looks like you're up first, Squalleon..."Yuffie went to give the two brawlers some space.
