Chapter 41: Mysterious Tower


Yen Sid: So Sora. Could you explain who these people are?

When the group return to the Mysterious Towers to give their report on Olympus, they find that Mirajane, Lisanna, Elfman, Cana, Mest, Lyon, Sabertooth, and Crime Sorciére just arrived and have been waiting for Riku, Mickey, and the group to show up. They said that they had trouble searching for the people they were supposed to be with

Yen Sid: They told me that they are wizards from Earthland and that they were going to help us. I appreciate that you found some help for this war, but your job as a Keyblade Wielder is to keep the order and not tell anyone about other worlds.

Donald: I'm sorry, Master! I tried to explain this to Sora, but he wouldn't listen!

Yen Sid: (faces Sora) Is there a reason for this?

Sora: Please, Master. I know it was wrong to tell them about all this, but I believe we need them. Their power is incredible, their strength could easily match the Organization. Also, if the Organization took notice of the wizards in Earthland, wouldn't they try to use them?

Yen Sid: (nodded) I see your point there. If that is what you wish then I'll allow it. As long as they agree to keep the order.

Erza: We will.

Wendy: Please forgive Sora. He only did this so that the Universe would be safe.

Yen Sid: It is alright, child. I fully understand the situation. But before we could move on, could you tell me who you are and how some of you can travel to other worlds without a Keyblade or the use of Gummi Ships.

Lucy: Sora gave each group a Star Shard so that we could travel to which world we want. As for who we are, we are called Fairy Tail for those who are traveling with Sora and training with the new Keyblade Wielders. My name is Lucy Heartfilia and my power is Celestial Spirit Magic, in which I can summon spirits from another world called the Celestial Spirit World.

Drake: I'm Drake Redgrave, a Devil Hunter that wields demonic weapons known as Devil Arms. (summons a Keyblade) On top of that, I'm also now Keyblade Wielder. 

Yen Sid: (stroke his beard) Ah, so you're the new Keyblade Wielder I sensed. 

Drake: Yeah, that's right. 

Yen Sid: Interesting, I am glad that Sora found you.

Natsu: I'm Natsu Dragneel, I'm Fairy Tail's Fire Dragon Slayer.

Gajeel: Name's Gajeel Redfox, I'm Fairy Tail's Iron Dragon Slayer.

Wendy: My name is Wendy Marvell, I'm Fairy Tail's Sky Dragon Slayer.

Laxus: Laxus Dreyar, and I'm Fairy Tail's Lightning Dragon Slayer.

Yen Sid: (looked intrigued) Four Dragon Slayers. As I read from history, Dragons are very powerful creatures and are very difficult to slay. Where did you learn this? 

Wendy: Natsu, Gajeel, and I were raised by dragons and they taught us their abilities. Laxus got his power through a Dragon Slayer Lacrima.

Yen Sid: I see. (looks at Lucy) Your summon abilities, how do you use them?

Lucy: I use my gate keys that allows me to summon them. The Silver Keys are sold in shops and the Gold Keys are extremely rare, they summon one of the 12 Zodiacs.

Yen Sid: Your magic seems to be similar to the summon powers Keyblade wielders use in battle. Just be careful using it during your adventure, the Organization might take notice of this. (Lucy nodded) 

Kat: My name is Kat, I'm a Devil Hunter just like Drake. 

Erza: My name is Erza Scarlet. My magic is Requip, in which I can summon swords during battle or change into different types of armor. 

Lady: Lady, and I'm also a Devil Hunter. 

Gray: I'm Gray Fullbuster, I use Ice-Make Magic.

Juvia: I'm Juvia Lockser, I use Water Magic. 

Ur: I'm Ur Milkovich, I use Ice-Make Magic too. I was Gray's teacher.  

Mirajane: My name is Mirajane Strauss. These are my two younger siblings: Elfman and Lisanna. All three of use Take-Over magic: I use Satan Soul, Elfman use Beast Soul, and Lisanna use Animal Soul.

Cana: I'm Cana Alberona. I use Card Magic. (gestures to Mest) And this guy here is Mest, he uses Transportation Magic and Memory Magic.

Trish: Call me Trish, I'm a demon and a Devil Hunter. 

Modeus: My name is Modeus, one of the two apprentices of the Dark Knight Sparda. 

Yen Sid: (raised an eyebrow) Sparda? (looks at Drake) Just curious, are you related to him? 

Drake: Yeah, I'm his son. Wait, you know Sparda? 

Yen Sid: Why yes. He was an old friend to me, Eraqus, and Xehanort. I heard that passed away, and I am sorry.

Drake: It's fine, if he's still alive he would be happy to see you too.

Happy: And I'm Happy. This is Carla and Panther Lily. All three of use Area, which we can summon wings on our back and fly.

Lyon: I'm from another guild called Lamia Scale. My name is Lyon Vastia and I use Ice-Make Magic like Gray and Ur. 

Yen Sid: Impressive. (looks at Sabertooth and Crime Sorciere) And would you mind telling me who you are?

Sting: I'm Sabertooth's Master: Sting Eucliffe, the White Dragon Slayer. This is Rogue Cheney, the Shadow Dragon Slayer. Rufus Lore, a Memory-Make Magic Wizard. Olga Nanagear, a Lightning God Slayer. Minerva Orland, she uses Territory magic. Yukino Agria, a Celestial Wizard. Sorano Agria, uses Angel Magic. And Lastly Lector and Frosch, they have the same magic as Happy.

Jellal: My name is Jellal Fernandes, I am a member of Crime Sorciére and I use Heavenly Body Magic. This is Meredy, she uses Maguilty Sense Magic. Richard Buchanan uses Earth Magic. Macbeth uses Reflector Magic. Sawyer uses Slow Magic. And Erik is the Poison Dragon Slayer.

After the introductions, Sora explain what happen in Olympus. 

Yen Sid: I see... You could not regain your strength.

Sora: Aw, no biggie. I still learn a lot.

Yen Sid: Regardless, Sora, you will need the power of waking.

Sora: (sighs in depression)

Goofy: It can't be gone forever. Maybe something'll trigger it real soon.

Lucy: Like, what exactly?

Donald: I know! How about a bonk on the head?

Sora: Hey!

Lady: He doesn't have amnesia.

Yen Sid: Perhaps it could be something this is as simple as that.

Modeus: (confused) What do you mean?

Sora: Wait, you think so too?

Yen Sid: Whenever you are in need, magic happens. That is your greatest strength, Sora.

Sora: You make it sound like an accident.

Drake: You should think of it as a great deal of luck.

Everyone laughed and giggled. They then heard knocking and hear the door open. They see Mickey and Riku enter the room to give their report.

Mickey: We're back, Master.

Sora: (looks at Riku's new outfit) Whoa!

Mickey: (sees everyone) Oh, wow. You guys are all here! And even our new Keyblade wielder's here, too.

Sora: We were here before, but you didn't wait.

He then gets pushed aside by Donald and Goofy.

Donald and Goofy: Your Majesty!

Mickey: Hey there, fellas. So, what've you three been up to?

Sora went up to speak, but was pushed away again by Donald and Goofy.

Donald: We went to Olympus to visit Hercules!

Goofy: And to figure out how to get all of Sora's lost powers back.

Donald: (whispered into Mickey's ear) But... it was a big disappointment.

Natsu: (pushed Donald and Goofy) Wow, cool! A talking king mouse! (looks at Riku) And you must be this Riku guy Sora was talking about.

Riku: Who are you?

Donald explain the situation to them and how Earthland wizards are here to assist them.

Mickey: (smile) Well thanks for the assist, fellas! I'm Mickey Mouse, the king of Disney Castle.

Riku: I'm Riku. I'm glad you are here to help us.

Sting: It's cool. It'll be fun! By the way I'm Sting Eucliffe, I'm the White Dragon Slayer and the Master of Sabertooth. Over there are my guild mates and another guild called Crime Sorciére.

Jellal: (walked towards Riku and held his hand out) My name is Jellal Fernandez, I'm a mage of Crime Sorciere. I look forward to working with you.

Riku: (smiled and shook his hand) Same here. (looks at Drake) So, you're our new wielder. What's your name?

Drake: I'm Drake Redgrave. I've heard about the exam, congratulations on achieving master by the way.

Riku: Thanks. 

Kat: So, how did your mission go?

Mickey: (disappointed) Honestly...

Riku: We didn't fare any better.

Goofy: Did ya manage to figure out where Aqua is? 'Cause Master Yen Sid said that's why you fellas left.

Donald: Even a hint?

Both of them shook their heads, leaving Donald and Goofy disappointed.

Sora: (got up) Come on! Can I finally say something?!

Riku: We know Master Aqua made it as far as the beach that Sora and I once visited, but that's where her trail ends.

Ur: Meaning?

Mickey: All traces of her vanished into the great abyss...beneath the Realm of Darkness. 

Drake: If that's the case, she won't survive long.

Lady: What do you mean? 

Drake: There's a reason that place is considered Hell to many cultures. Many souls that have been killed in the Dark World don't make it to the heavens. Instead, they get lost, deep into the abyss. And, the longer they stay there, they loose everything about themselves. Including their light, their sanity... Even their humanity can be destroyed.

Everyone looked at him with concern, and it wasn't until Kat places a hand on his shoulder.

Kat: Drake...

Drake: Sorry, guess I got carried away.

Trish: Yeah, but... The way you were speaking. It was almost like you were there.

Drake: Actually, when I feel asleep, I dreamt about that place and met Aqua there. 

Sora: You did? 

Drake: Yeah, though that was before Riku and Mickey arrived there. She told me how she ended up at the Dark World and lost her friends. 

Cana: Damn, I feel sorry for her. 

Lisanna: Does that mean Aqua's gone?

Riku: No. Sora was dragged into the abyss during his exam. And I went in after him. So I think if we find someone who was really close to Aqua, and they make the dive, they could reach her down there.

Mickey: (looks sadden) I'm not sure who's even left to ask. Ventus is hidden, and Aqua's the only one who knows where. Plus, nobody's seen Terra in ages. Aqua was the last.

Riku: So Aqua—she's gonna be the key to finding all three.

Yen Sid: Yes. (everyone faces him) Their teacher, Master Eraqus, would have been another possibility, had Xehanort not mercilessly struck him down.

Everyone is in silence. Not knowing what to do, they were lost until Mickey broke the silence.

Mickey: Also, we have another problem. 

Riku: We encountered some strange monsters that were with the Heartless. 

Lady: You mean you've encountered the demons? 

Riku: Demons? 

Trish: They're monsters that live in the underworld at Earthland. 

Sora: We've encountered them as well at Olympus Coliseum. 

Ur: What else did you learn there?

Mickey: Riku was also save by man who also wields a Keyblade. In fact he looks exactly like you Drake. 

Drake: This man... he have white hair, a blue robe, a katana at his side, and a look in his eyes that contained little-to-no emotion whatsoever.

Mickey: Yes, why? 

Everyone in Fairy Tail has a pretty idea on who the man might be. 

Natsu: (glares) Vali.

Riku: Vali? 

Sora: Wait... you mean Drake's twin older brother? 

Gajeel: Yep, that bastard is on the move. 

Laxus: And now he has a Keyblade like Drake as well.

Goofy: Is that a problem? 

Juvia: If we stand in his way, yes. 

Panther Lily: First the demons appearing on other worlds, then the Organzation knows Drake's the son of Sparda, and now this? 

Sore then felt a strange feeling in his heart, and without realizing it, he spoke in complete confidence.

Sora: I'll save her.

Everyone: Huh?

Donald: You can't!

Goofy: But Sora, that's gonna be super hard since you don't have the power of waking.

Sora: (snaps back to normal) Huh? Sorry... I have no idea why that just popped out.

Natsu: What wrong with that? Does he really need this power to save someone that not even sleeping? Let him do it!

Lucy: Natsu, it's not your choice to make.

Modeus: Interesting.

Trish: What is it?

Modeus: I'm not sure, but it was almost like we were speaking to a different person.

Mickey: Well, it was pretty convincing.

Riku: Yeah, better not let us down.

Yen Sid: Sora, you must focus on regaining your lost power of waking. Mickey and Riku, I recall that Master Aqua journeyed to many worlds, and connected with others who could be the link we need.

Mickey: Good plan, sir. Me, Riku, Sabertooth, and Crime Sorciére will retrace her steps and see if we can find any sort of clues, but first...

Yen Sid: Hmm?

Mickey: We got hit pretty hard in the Realm of Darkness. My Keyblade was damaged, and the Heartless broke Riku's clean in half. So, we're gonna need to get replacements before we can continue.

Yen Sid: In that case, rendezvous with Kairi and Lea. They are continuing their training under the tutelage of the wizard Merlin. Bring the Strauss siblings, Mest, Lyon, and Cana with you as well.

Riku and Mickey: (bow) Yes sir.

Yen Sid: also, I would like you to deliver these for me.

He then summon two briefcases on his desk: one red and one black.

Mickey: Are they...

Yen Sid: Yes, they are the same as the ones I gave you. Special vestments to shield Kairi and Lea from the darkness.

Riku: We got 'em. 

Riku and Mickey picked up the briefcases.

Sora: What?! No fair! What about my outfit, Master?!

Trish: What's wrong with your clothes? 

Donald: Sora, don't bug him like that. It's inconsiderate.

Yen Sid: Settle down. I have new clothes for you, too, Sora. A gift from the good fairies.

Sora looked really happy when Yen Sid summon another briefcase. 

Sora: I knew you'd come through for me. Thanks!

Gray: Whoa, Yen Sid is way more patient than Gramps when it comes to complaining.

Donald meanwhile was hoping to receive new clothes too, but he became disappointed when nothing came.

Yen Sid: Those are no ordinary garments, Sora. Like before, they have very special powers, so it took extra time to prepare them. In addition, there is a gift from Chip and Dale inside.

Sora: (picks up his case) Cool. Okay!

Drake: Happy now?

Sora: You bet since we're gonna work together!

Yen Sid: As for the wizards of Earthland, I wish you best of luck on this journey.

Erza: Thank you, Master Yen Sid. It is our job as mages to protect anything that might cause harm to anyone.

Yen Sid: I admire what you say, Mrs. Scarlet. Now, you are all ready to proceed.

Under the master's desk, a little cricket in a suit, a top hat, and holding an umbrella hops up and runs to them. This was their chronicler, Jiminy Cricket.

Jiminy: Hey, wait! Don't forget about me!

Eartland wizards: He's so small!

Sora, Donald and Goofy: Jiminy!

Jiminy: Every journey worth goin' on needs a cricket to keep track of it. And I can't let ya start this one without ol' Jiminy Cricket by your side.

Goofy: The whole team's back!

Sora: Yeah. 

Donald: Yeah!

Jiminy: (looks at Fairy Tail) Oh, you must be Fairy Tail. I look forward traveling with you.

Wendy: We look forward traveling with you too, Jiminy.

Yen Sid: Good. Now, to mark the beginning of a new journey, I wish for you to have this, Sora.

He then summon a purple object with the symbol of the Dream Eaters and gave it to Sora.

Yen Sid: That is a Heartbinder. Think of it as a good luck charm made just for you. You have a gift, Sora, for connecting with others, and this makes that gift stronger. It's time to go!

Everyone bowed to Yen Sid before departing. But before the trio can depart, they heard Yen Sid whispered. 

Yen Sid: (whisepers) 'May your heart be your guiding key.'

Goofy: See? (Sora and Donald nodded)

Natsu: Alright! Let's Go!

Then everyone else joined in on the cheer.

Chapter 41 ended.
