Radiant Garden- Keyblade Academy

 

Ordinarily, the Radiant Garden Keyblade Academy was rather quiet, at least by the standards of a school. Not much happened, and it was rare for any sort of exciting events to happen in the years of peace that the world had experienced. However, on this particular day, that was about to change. The Masters of the Keyblade Academy were about to send a group of students off on what would be the most important journey since the one taken by Master Sora and his friends in the past. The previous day, almost 20 students had received letters from Master Sora. Each letter shared the same message, though with slight alterations to include the name of its recipient:

 

Dear (Student),

 

Hello, this is Master Sora. I would like to let you know that you have been selected to participate in a very important mission. This journey could take a short time, or many months. I apologize if this interferes with your busy schedule, but you will be excused from all missed lessons during this time period. I would like you to convene just outside the Academy tomorrow at noon, by the fountain. You will receive further instructions at that time. I wish you and your fellow companions the best of luck on this journey!

 

Sincerely, Master Sora

 

This particular letter and mission were unknown to those who were not participating, unless a participant had informed them ahead of time. It was just the small group leaving on this quest who had any sort of knowledge as to what they were about to face...

 

 

Indy arrived at the fountain early. He hated arriving late, and as such, arriving at a meeting very early tended to become something he'd been known for. Noticing that no one else had arrived, he decided to sit down on a nearby bench, waiting for his fellow students to file in. He knew that his best friend, Raidyn, would be going along with him. Aside from that, he had no clue who all would be joining. He just hoped that they would all be ready for whatever they'd need to face. As he sat, he became lost in his thoughts. This mission could potentially mark his first time ever leaving his home world of Radiant Garden. He could finally go out and see more worlds. He could meet new people. Most importantly, he might finally have a chance to track down the person he'd been trying to find for years... He managed to look calm for the most part, though he could feel his hands shaking with excitement. This could very well be the moment he'd waited years for.

"Now then... Time for Round Two to begin! Fight!" He exclaimed.

 

The second the battle began, the mysterious girl facing Raidyn sprang into action. She drew a short magic rod from her sleeve, and once she pointed it at Raidyn, a blast of cold air and ice crystals shot towards him.

 

"Whoa whoa, hit the brakes! I haven't even summoned my weapon yet!" Raidyn said as he simultaneously zipped left and right to avoid his opponent's magic blasts.

 

Pausing his movement for a moment, Raidyn summoned Shockwave. "See, now I'm ready. Being eager is one thing, and believe me I can relate, but a fight's no fun if whoever you're going at it with can't deliver, you know what I mean?" Raidyn asked.

Eventually, Joel and Co., reunited with their beloved llama guest and Pacha, arrived back to whatever relative location Allitt and Lisa were at. Fortunately, the others were quiet for the short few-minutes journey... almost too quiet, as if they weren't even there, but Joel did not pay it much thought, and just was thankful for it.

"Salutations," he told girl and Heartless. He noticed that the remaining members - Luna, Aello and Zion (My bad if I forgot someone) - were not there yet.

Huh, you'd think they'd be here by now, since Zion can teleport and all, he thought.

"Well, once everyone is assembled we can finally get this show on the road," he continued aloud.

 

 

BUT NOBODY CAME

Andes Mountains

 

Allitt caught a glimpse of the light that Lisa noticed. "That looked like a shooting star... It's not really a star, but that's what they're called. They're more like... big rocks that are shooting through space, I guess." It was then that Allitt realized how little she paid attention to these types of lessons in class. She never thought that could come back up all these years later.

 

Before she could say anything else, she saw Joel arrive with the others. "You're finally back?" She stood up carefully to avoid disturbing the Heartless that was by her. "I hope that means we're ready to head out now..." She walked over. Eventually, the entire group reconvened and set off once again towards the palace...

 

 

The next day, the group had finally arrived at the capital city. The palace was now within view, but it was surrounded by guards. Tall, large men wielding spears lined the walls, making sure that no one could break in. Kuzco gazed at the palace with a defeated look on his face. After coming this far, it seemed like the journey had been in vain... "No... there's no way we can get in. I'll always be a llama..." He spoke quietly and began pacing back and forth.

 

Pacha studied the group's destination. "There must be a way, right...? They can't defend it perfectly." He began to form a plan.

 

After a moment of silence, Allitt spoke up. "It seems like we've got two options: we either look for a place to sneak in... or try to push past the guards." She looked at Joel. "I'll leave that decision up to either you or Zion. As long as we get in, I don't really care how we do it."

 

 

Mt. Olympus

 

The robed girl glared at Raidyn. "I'm not in this for fun. I'm trying to win." She spoke quickly before pointing the rod towards Raidyn once again. This time, she shot a Triple Firaga spell at him, then prepared to fall back if he dodged and tried to counter the attack.

Raidyn tried a different strategy. Instead of dodging, he instead dashed straight towards the string of flames, and at the last second, triggered a speed boost that allowed him to maneuver around each individual shot with fluid motions. 

 

Going back to normal speed, he wrapped himself in lightning and dove towards the robed girl in a twisting motion, Keyblade raised in both hands.

 

"Spark Sweep!" He cried, aiming to bring the blade straight down with a quick strike that would deal a hefty amount of damage.

The next day, Saki and Lisa were amazed the sight of the capital city. They gazed with curiosity and excitement. "Wow...Cool, we're here!" Saki exclaimed.

Lisa noticed the sad llama's expression, so she walked over to him and patted him on the back. From what she's seen, Lisa guessed this was what humans did for when they see sadness. Once Allit said "sneak", Saki snickered. This was his A game.

"If you need sneaking, leave that to me." He said, pointing to himself. "Don't mean to brag, but the qualities of a Street Rat is being sneaky. And uh...*ahem* Since we've got one here, I could look for a spot for us to get inside. OR...Just for fun, I could handle those guards for you. Trust me, I'll keep 'em busy for a looong time. It's my specialty. My skill, you know?" He said confidently. It was obvious that he believed this mission was meant for him.

It was obvious that he believed this mission was meant for him.

Aello nodded as she listened to Saki's latest plan, an almost devious grin forming as she remembered the chocolate cookies she had brought off the ship. "If we're running diversions, I can help with that!" It was a good plan, minimizing casualties and letting the Lama Emperor get through more easily, and Aello was fast enough to keep up with the 'street rat'. "And Joel, do you still have the napkin package I gave you yesterday?" She almost didn't want to do this, the poor guards... Ah, who was she kidding? She totally wanted to do this! Not even a thousand guards could handle a sugar high Saki.

Raz listened to the suggestions and the ideas other people were giving and chuckled, "Wouldn't it just be easier to kill them all since you know... We have the strength and speed to do it?" He looked at the group and as he said it he looked away looking disappointed in his self. "I... I'll be right back." He says stuttering a bit and walking away behind a tree. Raz sits against the tree holding his head asking himself, "Why... What is going on, I keep considering other peoples feelings when I don't care about it... Is this reaction because of that stupid masters spell?" Looking at the ground he is unable to comprehend or understand what is happening to him.

"How about we do both?" Joel said in response to Allitt's options. "Some of us will engage in battle against the guards. That will serve as a distraction. Meanwhile, the rest of the gang will sneak in with Kuzco and Pacha and try to find Yzma or the antidote or the gift shop whatever comes first. Then the Battle Team will catch up later."

Joel looked around at everyone. "Let's see... We'll probably need a bit more manpower for the Sneak Team since it's also kind of an escort... But then it needs to be small enough to be sneaky... But what about..."

 

After a few moments of mumbling to himself, Joel announced, "The parties shall be as follows:

"Sneak Team will consist of Saki, Lisa, Aello, and Allitt. You all will, as the team name suggests, sneak into the castle, while taking care of Zion and escorting our current charges (Kuzco and Pacha) inside.

Meanwhile, Fight Team will consist of me (Joel), Max, Raz, Luna and Artemis. We will try to get in through the front, which most likely means fighting the guards. We'll then try to catch up with Sneak Team. At that point we'll use the communication devices. Once we're all inside, we'll try to find the antidote to Kuzco's... llama-ness."

"Now does anyone have any objections?" He quickly stared down everyone. "No qualms across the board? Great! We'll organize now and split up in two minutes."

 

He then turned to Aello and handed her the secret napkin package. "Guess we'll be handing this off until the time comes to use it," he said with a quick laugh.

Aello nodded solemnly as she accepted the secret weapon of doom from Joel. "I promise to save it for the right moment."

So, she was on the 'sneak team' then... She could do that! Probably. But then the Llama Emperor wouldn't be a super cool talking llama anymore! That was too bad. She really couldn't see why he couldn't just be a llama while he ruled his country. That would be so cool! It wasn't like his voice had changed, so people would still recognize him... Ah well. "Alright, I'm ready to go."

Saki nodded gladly as he heard his name being called on the "sneak" team. "Yes! I shall lead the team to victory!" He said happily. He jumped up and down, knowing that this job was perfect for him. He couldn't wait!

"Trust me guys! With me on the sneak team, there won't be any doubt." He said with a confident smile.
