Kingdom Hearts: The Lights of the Multiverse Redux [No Longer Full]

((Collab between Arty Fox and Letter Bee))

"Kyubey has no emotions of his own, and does not send fools as heralds, nor people who I cannot sense as being 'Magical Girls'. But that does not mean you are not suspicious," Homura held her AK-47 tightly, before looking at Cheese.

"But that does not mean that you cannot be useful. So state your business."

Mac took a shakey breath. "We're here to-" He gasped.

Cheese also gasped but unlike Mac she almost looked happy. She could feel a familiar spindle of magic creep around them and snapped her head left and right trying to pinpoint where it was coming from. She then looked skyward certain it was there but unable to see anything.

"Cheese." Mac whimpered with a famiiar preassure in the back of his skull. "They're back."

Cheese was now ignoring Homura at this point with attention instead firmly set upon Mac. She couldn't feel the twinge of pain anymore.

"Don't fight them Mac." Cheese warned him with an air of excitement to her voice.

For just a second it looked like Mac was about to say thomething, about to angrily snap at her or scream. Instead, he became rigid, the plastic covers to his skull pulled themselves apart with giddy snaps and exposed the innner tubes and diodes to the world. The cord extending from the back extended and curled a protective paremter around Macs body, and finally the screen flickered into life.

"Cheese." Four green eyes stared from Macs screen. They held a finger up to silence her before she could speak. "Quiet. I don't know where you are but I cant hold this for long." The goblin King paused for a moment "The Heartless are becoming more aggressive in the Fae Realm and have begun to emerge in the Mundane also. Complete your mission as soon as possible."

And just like that it was over; the screen became blank and the casing reattatched itself to Macs skull. He slumped to the ground with a defeated moan and a swear. There was a tense silence between the pair of them before Cheese took the initiative.

"As Mac was saying before we were, um." Cheese ran a hand through her hair trying to ignore the thoughts running rampant in her head. "We need your help to save Madoka. She can help us save...a lot of people."

From the ground Mac swore once again. Neither of them bothered to answer their phones buzzing in their pockets.

Homura's gaze turned hostile.

"So it is as I thought; you may not have come from the Incubators, but you are interested in her power." Which to be fair, was the technical truth. "You want her to be saved now so that she becomes a Magical Girl later."

Her fingers began to press the trigger...

"No, no, no." Both Cheese and Mac said together.

Cheese moved, with another twinge of pain making her wince, to push the guns muzzle upward and away from her and Mac.

"We're here to stop that." Cheese blurted out. "She becomes a witch if she makes a deal. We know."

"Trust me." Mac leapt up from the ground but stayed where he was. "The pair of us know about crappy deals and contracts, we both want to stop another one being made."

Homura was still distrustful, but not so much that she would refuse a potential source of help if offered, and so, she would say:

"Come inside," opening the door wide and gesturing to them to come in, although her AK-47 would still be pointed at them.

Inside the room, they can find an ordinary table, and two curved minimalist leather seats, as well as three walls that had been modified with magic to act like a digital display, with pictures of witches, magical girls, and Walpurgisnacht shown on each 'window'. A diagram was also there for plans to destroy witches, steal mundane weapons, and plan interactions with Madoka and the other Magical Girls. It was clear that Homura believed in careful planning.

Looking around as they entered Cheese caught sight of the images of Walpurgisnacht, it's gigantic form looming malisciously high above ruined buildings, and she then realissed what the strange Magic energies she was feeling were. Her gut twisted in fear.

Mac slumped into one of the minimalist sofas and stayed very quite. Cheese could see he was still very rattled from The Goblin King taken control, he always was after each time. Although it was quite possible he was deep in thought about what The Goblin King had said, Cheese knew she was.

"So," Homura would ask, taking a seat and finally withdrawing her gun, "how do you two plan to help?"

"I'm not sure if we have much time to explain." Cheese had chosen to remain standing, with her arms folded across her chest. "The basic gist of it is Madoka is what's called a Princess of Heart."

"Meaning she's really pure and good and all that stuff." Mac muttured from his slumped position. "She might also have a keyblade, one of these things." He summond his in a flash of light. "So she's a pretty big deal to save the multiverse from the Heartless."

"She could also get rid of the Incubators if needed. We can explain the rest on the way though." Cheese huffed impatiently. "We also need to get a Grief Seed. Know of any witches nearby?"

This earned her a slight look from Mac, but he remained silent.

"I have a stash, actually," Homura said, bringing out a box of what seemed to be bony white nuts with a centre that emitted a small miasma of darkness. "As for getting rid of the Incubators...I am in."

"Oh" Cheese looked almost dissapointed in how easy it was to get hold of them.

Cheese moved towards the box to examinine the Grief seeds more closely. They all looked slightly different from one another, supposedly reflecting the personalities of what were once young girls. Cheese could almost hear them screaming in dispair. Deciding to pay as little attention to their screams as she could Cheese pulled out her own wooden Box of Tricks and started shovelling handfulls of the seeds into it. Homura had never specified how many she could take.

Seeing that Cheese was more engrossed in examining the strange artifacts Mac decided to continue.

"Fantastic, Welcome aboard." He withheld a joke about asking when her bedtime was and pulled out his phone. "I'll just give our team mates a call to pick us up and..." Mac paused to reread the text message. "The Incubators are planning to destroy the multiverse."

He exaggerated slightly as 'seven to nine worlds' may be easy to read but was a bit of a mouthful.

"What!?" Cheese snapped her attention first to Mac and then to Homura. "Do you know where Madoka would be at this time?"

"Right now, I was heading to rescue her, as she followed her and Sayaka's other friend, Hitomi Shizuki, into an abandoned factory where a Witch is trying to make people commit mass suicide. But due to this talk, I have to stop time in order to catch up." She would walk up to them, then.

"Grab my left hand; that will render you exempt from the time stop. Hopefully, we can rescue Madoka in time."

Putting her Box of Tricks back from wherw-ever it had come from Cheese stood up and took off her jecket to let her wings unfurl.

"If you tell me where to go I can fly us there." She took hold of Homuras hand as Mac took hers.

The pair instinctively tensed in preparation for Homuras magic.

Homura's shield turned counter-clockwise, and all movement except for Homura, Mac, and Cheese's stopped.

Now they can go.

Homuras magic felt...odd, at least it did to Cheese, as if they had been dipped into mud. She fought through it though and managed to get all three of them off the ground and above the low rooves of buildings. Following Homuras instructions, and a few quick lift of the legs to clear satalite ariels, they made it to the warehouse. Even Mac could feel a horrible stickiness hanging in the air as they landed outside.

"What is that smell?" Mac asked, but he already knew.

"A combination of various detergents and cleansers that, when mixed together in a closed space, turns to toxic gas," Homura said, ceasing the time stop. "Anyway, I'll rescue Madoka, you guys destroy the Witches' familiars."

Mac and Cheese

“A simple no would have sufficed.” Mac grumbled bitterly.

He and Cheese stood outside the apartment building, it looked almost the same as those they saw around London; bleak, grey and made of concrete. Although it did seem more open to the elements than the ones they were used to which may have had something to do with the climate. The pair walked towards it.

“Guess we have no choice but to ask Tocsax.” Cheese slid on her gloves. “You did apologise for throwing that table at him I take it?” She knew he hadn’t, but she wanted to tease him.

Cheese wasn’t listening to Mac’s complaint about bringing minors into a battle, she understood where he was coming but if they proved useful they might as well fight. Her attention was more fixated on the chills dripping down her spine, she could feel magic pooling around her in swirls that gradually tensed and released like someone struggling to breathe. Something was coming. Something strange and wrong. Cheese didn’t like it. A short stab in her skull told her that Mac was in danger.

“You okay?” Mac had noticed her wince.

Cheese didn’t get a chance to answer. Mac had barely reached the doo when it opened to reveal their target Homura Akemi, with a gun. Mac swore very loudly and Cheese swiftly placed herself between them. Cheese very much wanted to disarm Homura but given what the file had said about time manipulation she doubted she’d have much of a chance. Cheese could sense magic coiled tightly within the shield she wore on her arm.

“Do we look like we were sent by that twisted little ass hat!” Mac spluttered in a justifiably panicked voice. He thought for a second with his computer screen head tilted to the side. “Actually, don’t answer that.”

@Double what have you got planned you devilishly handsome devil you?

Moonfiend

Berry

Berry stood very still, barley daring to breathe in case the Grit behind her chose then to attack. She stood there in front of the stage absolutely rigid had been since she had spotted the dot appear on her map. She had a horrible feeling it had been there for a while before she had noticed it.

Berry stared through the little holographic map to the darkness beyond scrambling mentally to think of a plan to save her skin. She was certain the grit to hear her beating heart trying to escape her rib cage. From what she could see the others wouldn’t be coming back soon; Roy seemed to have stopped moving completely and Vincent had managed to escape the Grit, which too seemed to have stopped moving.

Berry then remembered that Vincent had mentioned his father had numerous booby traps laid around the house, and from there a plan began to form. Berry tried her best to remember distance between where she stood and the door ahead, the route she had to take, the number of tables there were and where they stood. All these details Berry drank in and tried to commit to memory, after all she needed every advantage she could get and right now familiarity of her surroundings was all she had.

Slowly, almost agonisingly so, Berry reached into her bag and pulled out her phone. She tried not to hiss when the screen flared brightly into life and again Berry locked all her limbs and stood very still. Nothing, yet. Berry typed in the code and the phone chimed happily. Berry froze. The curtain behind her wavered and something scratched upon the stage.

One, two, three.. Berry counted to ten without being disturbed, but the dot on her map remained.

Berry looked at her phone out of the corner of her eyes, not daring to risk moving her head, and selected the music player app and pressed the picture for a radio drama with her thumb.

By the time her phone had landed with a loud clatter and an infectious jingle Berry was scurrying to the door. She had turned off the map but it lay imprinted on her eyes casting shadowy visages in the dark. The curtain tore behind her but Berry didn’t dare turn to look. She grabbed the door handle as something crashed behind her and she was through the door, slamming it shut behind her.

Berry blinked once, twice, trying to get rid off the blurry outlines from her sight whilst her trembling hands locked the doors with a twist of the key in the key hole. Berry knew exactly the route she had to take to get to Roy, after all it was still partially burned to her retinas, and took off down the corridor on her right and took the key with her.
