Chapter 5: Strength of a Hero!

Sora & Lucy: AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

They were screaming for their lives as the statue crashed landed near the spot where the little girl was at.

Sora: (grunt) Ughhh. Is everyone alright?

Lucy: Hmmmmm. We're okay. But ummm. Sora, could you please move your hand?

Sora: Huh?

Sora turned and saw his hand was on top of Lucy's breast, which made the female wizard and the Keyblade wielder blush.

Sora: (moves his hand, blushing) I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do it! It was an accident!

Lucy: (blush) N-No, it's okay. I know you didn't mean it.

Wendy: (looking at the scene with a jealous look) I'm alright!

Gray: Same here.

Juvia: (jealous look) I'm okay!

Happy: Aye, me and Carla are fine too.

Erza: (jealous) I'm alright as well. (looks around) But where's Natsu?

A fist came out of the rubble and Natsu emerged from it.

Natsu: This place is showing action and I'm loving it! Let's do it again!

Donald: Wak! Now's not the time!

Goofy: Yeah! We got to go help that little girl!

Everyone: Right!

Happy: Mm, and then. (crashes onto the ground)

Little girl: Thank you for saving me.

Sora: Yeah, no prob..

Gray: You should go find somewhere that is safe..

The girl nodded and ran off in a different direction.

Erza: We should check if there is anyone else that is in danger here.

All: Yeah!

Maleficent: Well, if it isn't Sora and the King's pawns.

They all turned around and saw Maleficent and Pete emerging from a dark corridor.

Erza: And you are?

Sora: Maleficent! Pete!

Gray: Who are they?

Sora: During my first adventure, Maleficent gathered villains and used the Heartless to collect the Seven Princesses of Heart to unlock Kingdom Hearts, unaware she was used by Xehanort's Heartless. We defeated her but she came back during my second adventure and Pete here helps her.

Lucy: Are you the reason the Heartless are here?

Maleficent: Certainly not. And who might you be?

Natsu: You don't know? We are Fairy Tail!

Pete: Fairy Tail? What kind of ridiculous name is that?

Erza: (points her sword at the two) Do not underestimate us.

Pete: (looks nervous but then looks closer at Sora) Say, Maleficent, I dunno about his sidekicks, but Kid Keyblader here looks way punier than the last time we saw him. I say we finish him off while we still can.

Suddenly, Natsu charged at Pete and pushed him with a fiery fist at his face, sending him flying towards the wall.

Natsu: No one mocks our friends! If you do, you'll have to deal with me!

Pete looked dazed and terrified while Maleficent looked intrigued.

Maleficent: This magic. Where did you learn this, boy?

Natsu: From Igneel. I'm Fairy Tail's Fire Dragon Slayer!

Maleficent: (shocked) A Dragon Slayer?!

Pete: (nervous) Uh, Maleficent? I think we should go before things get any worse.

Maleficent: Yes. We have a far more pressing matter to attend to.

Pete: (think for a moment and remember) Oh! We gots to find that black box.

Maleficent: Be silent, you fool! (Pete cringes, she looks at the group) As for you: we shall meet again... when I have time for such trifles. (enters the dark corridor)

Pete: Yeah, and you better get your act together before then. (turns and leaves) Later twerps!

Erza threw her sword at Pete as he screamed.

Erza: What did I say?!

Pete then hurried to the dark corridor.

Sora: Wait!

Sora was about to run after them but the dark corridor was gone.

Wendy: (concern) Sora? Are you okay?

Sora: (sigh) It's fine. I can take it.

Goofy: Gawrsh, it sure don't sound like it. Did Pete sayin' mean things bother ya?

Sora: (crosses his arms) It's fine! I can take it.

Natsu: (smile) Don't worry, Sora. You can show those jerks who boss by getting stronger!

Sora: Thank you, Natsu.

Erza went over to Sora and grabbed his head and slammed it into her armored chest as her way of comforting him.

Erza: It's alright. You have us as your friends to look after you and help you get stronger.

Sora: (blush) T-T-T-T-Thanks Erza.

Donald: They're right! You're gonna get stronger!

Goofy: We know ya can take it!

Sora: (embarrassed) Don't say that!

Gray: Was that necessary?

Goofy: I was just sayin' what he said.

Donald: He can take it.

Carla: We should go check if there are any other civilians here.

Sora: (nod his head) Right!

They group then headed into the city: fighting the heartless and searching for any survivors from the attacks. They eventually made it into the gardens where they saw a woman on top of a stone pillar, being attacked by Flame Cores.

Woman: Someone heeelp! Where did all these monsters come from? Hercules, where are youuu?!

Donald: Look!

The group then rushed to the woman in danger.

Sora: We'll put these hotheads out!

Goofy: Hang on up there!

Woman: Huh? Who are you guys? Where is Hercules?

Gray: Some damsel in distress she is.

Donald: Hey, we're heroes too!

Lucy: Open, Gate of the Maiden: Virgo!

Lucy summons one of her Zodiac spirits, Virgo.

Virgo: Do you wish to punish me, princess?

Lucy: Stop asking that! You see that woman on top of that pillar? I need you to get her away from the monsters and keep her safe.

Virgo: As you wish, princess.

Virgo jumped onto the pillar and took the woman.

Woman: Wh-what are you-

Virgo: I'm very sorry about this but it is my princess' wish to protect you.

Virgo brought her to a corner, dug a hole, and put the woman in the hole with her.

Natsu: Fire Dragon Iron Fist!

The fire-engulfed fist impacted one of the Flame Core's jaws and sent it flying into the sky, it twinkled in the sky as it flew out of sight.

Gray: Ice-Make: Cannon!

He formed a bazooka out of ice. He shot a massive ball of ice that soared at Flame Cores.

Wendy: Sky Dragon Wing Attack!

She waved both her arms forward to create a powerful whirlwind that blew the Flame Cores up to the Sky.

Juvia: Water Slicer!

Juvia unleashes her water blades that hit the Flame Cores with Donald backing her up by blasting a blizzard spell. Goofy hits some of the Flame Cores with his shield while Sora and Erza slashes through them with their blades, eventually beating them all.

The woman came back from her hiding spot with Virgo.

Woman: Thank you. You're so kind. Keep training and one day you'll be great heroes just like Hercules. (looks at Virgo) And ma'am, thank you for keeping me safe.

Virgo: It was only my princess' wish.

The woman then waved at the group and ran off.

Lucy: Nice work, Virgo.

Virgo: Will you punish me now, princess?

Lucy: No! Return to the Spirit World! (Virgo disappears)

Sora: "Keep training"? Is it that obvious?

Donald: Just for you.

Sora: Hey!

Goofy: I think we all have a ways to go. But we'll get there together!

Sora: Yeah, we will.

Gray: Guys, let's keep going!

They all left the gardens and kept going. Suddenly, they saw a huge temple collapse after something hit it.

Wendy: (worried) The temple!

Erza: Let's head to the temple! We might find some survivors!

They all ran towards the destroyed temple, helping people and destroying Heartlesses along the way. When they arrived, they saw Hercules, Laxus, Gajeel, and Lily holding giant slabs of stone so they wouldn't crush a family of three that was near them.

Sora: Herc! Gajeel! Laxus! Lily!

Hercules: (looks up) Sora!

Gajeel: About time you show up, help us!

They ran towards them, but the building began to crumble, scaring the family. The four then began to struggle to keep the slabs in place. Behind the group, the entrance was blocked by rubble.

Donald: Noooo!

Lucy: We're closed in!

Wendy: What do we do now?!

Suddenly, Flame Cores appeared to terrorize the family.

Sora: (summon his Keyblade) More Heartless!

Hercules: You take them. We need to save these people!

Sora: (get into a battle stance) Guys, can you hold the building?

Hercules: (smirk) No problem!

Laxus: Just hurry up and defeat them, we can't hold this forever!

Erza: Let's go! Requip: Sea Empress Armor!

She glowed and requipped into her Sea Empress armor.

Lucy: Open, Gate of the Golden Bull: Taurus!

The giant humanoid bull came out of the ground with a loud moo and brandished his large axe.

Lucy: (pulls out her Taurus key) Star Dress: Taurus Mode!

Lucy's dress has changed into her Taurus outfit.

Sora: (blush) Now, a cowgirl?

Lucy: (blush) You like it?

Sora: (blush) Well.... yeah.

Lucy: (blush) T-Thanks.

Erza, Wendy, & Juvia: (annoyed and jealous) Can we get on with this? 

Taurus: Moo! You creeps better give Miss Lucy some rooom if you know what good for ya!

Taurus sliced the Heartless with his axe while Lucy knocked them down with her whip.While Erza uses her armor power to fire water magic at them while Juvia was using her magic against some too.

Wendy: Sky Dragon Roar!

Wendy fired from her mouth a large amount of wind at the Heartless, sending them flying. After some time, all of the Heartless in the room were defeated. The temple began to crumble some more.

Wendy: The room is shaking!

Hercules: Get the people out!

They nodded and ran towards the family.

Sora: Are you guys all right? You need to get to Safety. Go! Quickly!

Everyone ran towards the exit as the temple crumbled even more, making the four struggle some more to keep the slabs up. Sora, who saw them, wanted to help but ran towards the exit with everyone else as the entire temple collapsed from its destruction.

Erza: Requip: Adamantine Armor!

Erza requip into her defense armor and summons a giant shield while Goofy summons his shield, both protecting everyone from the rubble.

Erza: (concern) Is everyone okay?

Everyone nodded. They all looked undamage, but they were covered in dust. Sora stood up to explore his surroundings, but all he could see was the destroyed temple in front of him.

Everyone: Hercules! Gajeel! Laxus! Lily!

Lucy: No... Don't tell me...

Sora then gasps. A few figures began to emerge from the dust, revealed to be Hercules, Gajeel, Laxus, and Lily. The group cheered in relief.

Sora: You scared us!

Gajeel: (chuckles) Did you really think we would be defeated that easily, kid?

Hercules: It's nothing. (flexing his muscles) That's what these are for.

They relax for a bit, but then hear a corridor open. They turn to see Xigbar exiting the corridor and clapping.

Xigbar: Oh, wow! Very nice, full marks.

Gray: Now who's this?

Donald: Go away!

Goofy: No Organization!

Lucy: (surprised) He's one of Xehanort's?

Sora: You're Xigbar!

Xigbar: (walks up to them with a smirk) Aw. All this altruism is giving me the warm and fuzzies. So then, does having a heart of light come with an extremely good insurance policy?

Natsu: I'll burn your insurance, Zegbard!

Gray: A: That doesn't make sense and B: That's not his name.

Natsu: (butted heads with Gray) If you got something better to say to him then go ahead and say it!

Gray: Try making sense then! (begins to fight with Natsu)

Sora: Oh brother.

Donald: Seriously?

Happy: We all knew this was going to happen.

Xigbar: (thoughts, confused) Who the hell are these idiots? They're not from here and I sense their power is incredibly strong, but they act like a circus. (annoyed) And it's not Zegbard!

Erza then marched forward towards the two boys.

Erza: That's enough!

The boys became scared and immediately stopped their bickering. 

Xigbar: (curious) Who are you people?

Natsu: We're from Fairy Tail! You better remember that!

Lucy: No, Natsu!

Erza: You fool! Now they know who we are!

Natsu: (shocked) Oh crap!

Gajeel & Gray: Idiot.

Xigbar: (smirk) Fairy Tail? How very interesting, you plan on standing against us? That's very bold of you, especially since you don't have the power of the Keyblade.

Sora: Nevermind that. Just say what you mean earlier.

Xigbar: Oh, but I did though. No good will ever come from putting other people first.

Carla: What a stupid thing to say. And what? Hurting people is better?!

Hercules: I was able to save Meg's life because I was ready to risk my own.

Natsu: Yeah, you tell that bastard!

Xigbar: (walks away a bit) Because you've got friends in high places, you mean. Tricks like that don't fly for your average joe.

Sora: What do you know? You weren't even there! If you were, you'd admire Herc's courage.

Xigbar: (smirk) I don't admire one guy leaping into danger if it means someone else might have to jump in to save him. You're all just lining up to lose out. Dooming others to take the fall with ya. Oh, (sidelooks at them) and you can spare me the usual party line. Yes, hearts are powerful when they're connected. But if you put too much of that power in one place, some of those hearts might end up breaking.

Erza: Do not underestimate us. Our power of friendship will never break to the likes of you!

Xigbar: Then that should be interesting. I'm starting to like you guys, better not let me down. (turns to Sora and points at him) Still, Sora, that doesn't mean you should change. Accept the power you're given. Find the hearts joined to yours.

Gajeel: What kind of crap is he talking about?

Lucy: (annoyed) All of those members and we get the weird one.

Laxus: Got another name for him.

Sora: (angry) Why would we ever take advice from you?

Xigbar: (turns away from them) As if! You don't have any choice but to follow this sweet little trail of bread crumbs. (walks away) 

And at the end, you'll finally realize what destiny has in store for you. (stops walking) In fact, your reward might be around the corner. You're so close!

Erza: (points her sword at Xigbar) What do you want from him? Enemies don't appear to give advice to anyone! So tell me, what is your goal?!

Xigbar: As if I tell you. (resumes walking) Just keep going and don't let us down.

With nothing more to say, he laughs and teleports away.

Sora: (confused) Hearts breaking? Whose hearts?

Hercules: Sora, don't let him bother you. (walk over to him) He's just trying to get under your skin 'cause he thinks he can. But we'll prove him wrong.

Natsu: Yeah, listen to Herc. There's no way you will lose to a cocky wino!

Gray: Who said Sora was going to fight him, nerd.

Natsu: If he won't then I call dibs on him!

Hercules: We'll show him that our sacrifices haven't been for nothing.

Sora: (smile) You're right.

Goofy: Mm-hmm! Besides, we're already proof enough!

Donald: We're a team! When we're together, we can do anything! (everyone nods)

Juvia: (hugs Sora) That's right, my sweet darling~! We can do anything together. Just the two of us.

Sora: (blush) Umm... thanks for the encouragement, Juvia.

Juvia: (holding one of his arms between her breasts) Your welcome~.

The group then started to leave to help any other survivors. Sora stopped and turned around in the direction Xigbar went.

Sora: ...What reward?

Erza: (thoughts) What are they planning?

Lucy: Erza, are you okay?

Erza: Yes. I'm just thinking about what he said. Why would the enemy give advice to us and why do they want Sora to change?

Wendy: Do you think it's a trap?

Erza: I do not know. Carla, has anything come up yet?

Carla: (shook her head) I'm sorry, nothing came so far. Maybe this journey will be difficult to predict the outcome.

Natsu: Whatever happens, we will stop them. If they think they can break our friendship, I'll prove that they're dead wrong!

They continue onward to help the people caught in the struggle. Herc said that all of the people had gone to safety, so they all decided to return to the plaza to think of a plan to stop the monsters. When they reached the plaza, they were greeted by a giant armor heartless with an axe for an arm.

Juvia: A giant Heartless!

Laxus: It's almost as big as that Darkside Heartless back on Magnolia!

Erza: Everyone, get ready! (Requipped into Purgatory armor)

Gajeel: Iron Dragon Club!

Gajeel's right arm became an Iron Club and stretched as it hit the Heartless' abdomen.

Gray: Ice Make: Hammer!

Gray created a large hammer and gave a swing on its back. But the Heartless shook off the two blows and started to attack Erza and Juvia The two of them dodge the axe and Erza swung her massive blade at the Rock Troll. 

Juvia: Water Nebula!

Juvia sent a stream of water at the Heartless, stunning it.

Lily slashed the Heartless on its right arm, while Laxus punched it in the face with a lightning- covered fist sending it skidding across the ground.

Laxus: Lighting Dragon Demolition Fist!

Hercules: Sora, Donald, Goofy, let's work together!

Sora: Right!

Sora leaped forward and fired a ball of fire at the Rock Troll face, while Donald blasted it with a bolt of lighting, while Goofy charged at with his shield and struck him in the gut. Hercules then unleashed a wave of energy, staggering it but the Rock Troll shook it off.

Natsu: Leave it to me guys! (engulfed his hand) Fire Dragon King Destruction Fist!

Natsu unleashed a powerful fire punch at the Rock Troll, damaging both the ground and the Heartless, before the attack caused a mini-explosion, turning the Heartless into ashes.

Sora: (shocked) Wow! He got it down with one punch!

Goofy: Gwarsh! Does that mean he's stronger than Erza and Laxus?

Donald: I hope not.

Soon, they then heard a horse and saw Pegasus, Meg and Phil heading down to them.

Meg: (to Hercules) Nice job, Wonderboy. We checked the whole area. It looks like everyone's safe.

Hercules: (smile) That's great. We did what we could.

Meg: You heroes have been busy little bees.

The group smile but then Pegasus looks off to the distance. When they looked at the direction he's facing, they see a dark cloud swirling around the top of the mountain.

Meg: (worried) Oh...look. More trouble!

Hercules: It's Hades.

Sora looked at Donald, Goofy, and Fairy Tail. They all nodded, knowing what they needed to do.

Sora: Herc! Let's go!

Hercules: Right.

Chapter 5 ended.
