The True Dark King

Trixis looked at Lulu. "You here to help? what is happening?" She asked as politely as she could in this kind of situation. "Is it the children going missing again?" She had heard about it from people around town but never actually saw it happen till now.

 

Lulu pulled the girl's head into her lap, "Yes, another little boy has gone missing from the park today. I was just there. Everyone's panicked."

 

Kairi's eyes narrowed at him. "I am also guessing that you are the one that has been kidnapping the children. Am I correct?" She asked. Kairi put her fists up, ready to fight Max.

Max chuckled. "My... such a smart girl. Yes. You are correct. I am the cause of all this panic and paranoia." He laughed. "And... what are you gonna do about it? You're just a little girl. You're no match for me."

Kairi smiled a little. "You don't fool me. I know you're scared of me. I can see it in your eyes. My light scares you."

Max frowned. This girl was dangerous. If she can use her light to its full potential... there was a good possibility that he would lose this battle. He had to absorb her... and get all that power for himself.

 

Trixis was an only child so she didn't have any younger siblings to worry about but there was one little boy around town who liked to follow her like a lost puppy. She stood and looked at Lulu. "I'll be right back... there is someone I have to check on..." She started to bolt it to near the school. The little boy usually liked to play around there. "Derrin? You here?" She called out. She had no response at first and began to get nervous. "Derrin?" The little boy came bolting from the school's jungle gym and glomped onto her leg. "Trix trix!" He replied. He was only about 5 years old. He had a very cute face with bright blue eyes and a front tooth missing from his grin. She smiled and pat him on the head. "Want to go for a walk Derrin? I'll get you some ice cream!" She asked with a happy tone. "YUP YUP!!!" He replied grabbing her hand and pulling her towards the park. She returned to Lulu. Keeping Derrin near her would hopefully insure his safety until he got home.

 

Lulu frowned, "If you're trying to keep him safe. I'm not sure it'll work. You have seen the dark goo that's around town right? Just yesterday I saw some of it around my little cousin's house. He's about eight. I don't think whoever's stealing children has an age limit, as long as they're still little." Lulu wondered about the goo. "Whoever it is, must have some grudge against this island."

 

Trixis sat cross legged on the ground. Derrin sat on her lap thinking it was "break time". "Now that you mention it, I have see the dark goo around... Kinda like a patch of darkness right? Anyway, I saw some around the school yard just the other day. Derrin here is still five, but loves to go to the playground by himself..." She paused then continued. "I wonder what happened to this person to have a grudge... I mean, this place is peaceful... Who or what could give him the grudge?"

 

Lulu shook her head slowly, "I don't know. It must have been terrible for them to want to kidnap children." Lulu moved her black hair from her face and stroked the girl's forehead, "I wonder who this is. She's been passed out for a while now. I hope she's okay."

 

Trixis looked at the girl and sighed. "I hope she is okay too..." Trixis looked about the area without standing up to see if anything suspicios was around.

 

Max looked behind him. He spotted a girl walking with a little boy. He smirked. "Well, my dear, I have bigger fish to fry. It's time for me to make a public appearance." Max vanished, leaving a puddle of goo behind. He appeared on top of a nearby play house. "Silence!" He shouted at the crowd in an extremely loud voice. Everyone shut up. "Good... listen very carefully. My name is Maximillion Currier. I am the cause of this chaos. If you don't want anymore children to go missing, then you'd best do as I say. I would like 50 child sacrifices. No younger than one year and no older than seven years... and I would like them hand delivered to me by two very special people... Riku and Sora. I will not accept the sacrifices from anyone else. If I do not recieve the children in one week, your pathetic island will be destroyed. I highly recommend that you inform the mayor of the situation immediately. I won't wait long... and to some of you children... i'll see you soon." Max vanished.

 

Lulu stood, "I'm going to check things back in the park." She left and managed to catch the remaining parts of Max's speach. She covered her mouth with her hand, "Oh my god!"

 

Trixis became shocked, automatically holding Derrin like a parent or a big sister would. "What!?! No way in heck!" She stood. "I'm going to have to talk to Sora about this....." She picked the girl up from the ground and then walked Derrin home, of course buying him the ice cream she promised. She rushed to where Sora lived. Her and Sora were pretty good friends but not as good of friends as Sora was between Riku and Kairi. She knocked on the door.

 

OOC: Since Sora is not taken, i'll play him for now.

BIC: Sora had been sitting on the couch, watching his favorite TV program when he heard a knock at the door. Not wanting to get up, he shouted to his guest at the door. "It's open!"

Kairi was almost to Sora's house. She had left immediately after Max's speech. She needed to tell Sora the situation now.

 

Trixis came in hearing sora call her in. "Hey Sora....." She said quietly still holding Len on her back. "We need to talk about some guy named Maximillion Currier..."

 

Sora clenched his fist. His head turned towards her. He tried to keep a straight face. "What about him?" Sora asked.

Kairi burst in, out of breath. She didn't speak.

 

Trixis looked at Kairi then back at Sora. "He.... He is the one causing all the chaos around town about the missing children. He demands that you and Riku deliver him 50 children above the age of one but below the age of seven. And you only have a week to do it or else he destroys the islands..." She wasn't to happy to tell Sora the situation but someone had to do it. "He also stated we should inform the mayor..."

 

Lulu stood stock frozen in the park. When she finally got her bearings, she went to find Riku. She and Riku were okay friends.

 

It had been only a week since Angel had moved to Destiny Islands with her parents. There were too many memories and problems in the last town and they had given up on coming to a solution. None of it mattered much to Angel now. That was all in the past. But even though she wanted to let go of the past, it felt like the past didn't want to let go of her. The disappearances of young children was hitting a little too close to home for her. And it felt as if all the tension from the past week had exploded on this one day where yet another child has vanished, as well as an announcement of why and what was going to happen to the island. Angel had heard all the commotion like everyone else. She left her house to see what was going on, only to find mass panic and a girl that fainted. What the....well, I guess she's okay since it seems like she's got plenty of friends.. It was then that she saw someone...materialize? on top of a nearby building. That doesn't seem possible...who is this person?! As she listened to his demands, Angel grew more and more infuriated. What he's demanding is absurd!Angel thought to herself, grinding her teeth and narrowing her eyes at the figure. "Who does he think he is?" She muttered under her breath.

 

Sora gripped the arm of the chair tightly. "I'll tell the mayor. We should do as he says." Sora stood up. "Before you argue, let me say one thing. I know this guy. He's serious when he says that he's going to destroy the island. I know that is well within his skill." He turned to everyone. "He's very dangerous. We really have no choice but to comply."

Kairi couldn't believe what she was hearing. Sora was giving up before the fight even began. "Sora... who is this guy?" She asked, staring at him.

Sora walked to the doorway. "I'll have to save that story for another day." He walked out the door.

 

Trixis looked at Kairi and shrugged. She hoped Sora had a plan in dealing with Max. She wasn't sure what to do now since Sora just left her and Kairi standing in his living room.

 

Angel needed time to cool herself. She figured that some ice cream may help with that. As she tried to find the ice cream vendor, she passed many distraught parents and people worried about the children. It was a grim sight. Angel bought her sea salt ice cream and sat down on a nearby bench that was close to a playground. And here I thought it'd be more peaceful here. This place is an island. Why would there be crime? The criminals can't get too far. That playground is most likely going to be abandoned now with the lack of kids playing. I wonder what will happen now. "Why's this happening?" Angel said to herself. "It doesn't make sense, why this would happen out of the blue."
