    yeah, another KHV fanfic
    god i'm so unoriginal


    This one will be centered more around the prems and staff than the normies but they'll still have their parts from time to time.



    Day 1: Call to Arms

    She didn't know what to think, what to believe. Everything had changed so much since she took her leave a year ago. Looking down on the once marvelous city, she put up her hood and tried not to think about how people must be suffering in the slums below.

    Streaks of brown hair hung loose in her face, but she didn't care. She wore a long black cloak, much like the members of Organization XIII in Kingdom Hearts II. She had it zipped like they did and wore the exact boots to match. She could only enter the ruined empire undercover; members who left before the fall weren't legally allowed back inside.

    She began to walk, hands in her pockets and thoughts drifting to a happier time. It had taken her about three attempts to regain the trust of the insiders, and one try in itself wasn't easy. After seeing her determination and testing her knowledge they had allowed her passage through the back door of the city.

    There were members of this resistance she vaguely recalled from before and some that were only a few weeks into their citizenship. Either way they all had a common goal, to reclaim the city and bring it back to it's glory days.

    As she inched ever closer to the metropolis, her eyes drifted to the city gate. She noticed a group of about twelve members being exiled. Every person she saw was miserable. There was nothing but spam in these hills and they had been sentenced to walk among it for all eternity, never to return to this so called safe haven again. They glanced at her in fear, she looked like she was a heartless thug and they were all afraid of how death would claim them.

    Shame passed through every inch of her being. After seeing that, her hope fled. As she saw the forum families burn like the pages of a book, she remembered the good times she used to have with Ace Phoenix, Ajk515, and Lulus_Moogle. Those days were long since gone. She felt like her heart had been consumed by darkness, and the pain was too much for her to bear. Pressing on, she began to see the spot where the backdoor lay; hidden beneath a spoiler that was long since forgotten.

    Using the shadows of perpetual night as cover, she slipped inside the city. The child who wished to escape torment her entire life was now faced with reality's harshest truth.

    All dreams must end in awakening.

    ~

    He stood, waiting on the other side of the spoiler. Nobody ever came to see the rules anymore, save for those who sought a way into the heart of darkness. The cloak he wore was standard issue among their little band of criminals. Each one was given to new members for initiation, included with a unique symbol on the zipper.

    The boy checked his watch for the time, and his eyes moved toward the floating plum tattooed onto his wrist. It was a constant reminder of the once active city he had been a part of. Now it was nothing but a hopeless hell. Every good member of the community either left in fear or was exiled in shame, leaving the lowlifes to do whatever they wanted.

    Snapping out of his nightmarish daydream, he started to think to himself.

    Damn it, that kid is twenty minutes late! I could always tell that she was a slacker. All those smilies she used to post, she never amounted to much anyway.

    A latch was undone at his feet. He looked down, adjusting his glasses as the door opened to a hooded figure with a Keyblade zipper.

    She climbed out and gave him her i.d. card, this was the only way to confirm the identity of their group members. Impersonaters always tried to gain free entry after having been exiled, searching for the secret spoiler for the rest of their lives.

    "Name, 'Cat heart Sora'. Age, fifteen. Join Date, May 1st, 2009. Alright, you passed. Follow me."

    He spoke to her in a cold, emotionless tone. He wasn't in the mood to deal with such a punk today and if they got caught, she was on her own.

    "You know, you don't have to treat me like such a child. I did take the entry exam three times to get here."

    "Yeah, and I was a sectional mod for the creativity corner before I ended up here. It's a whole different game when you have to survive in here. This is the real world, not just a dumb test that you can retake when you fail."

    "You think I don't know that, Alex? You may have been great before but it's what we do now that counts. The past can't be changed and the world ends with us."

    He just kept walking. It was stupid of her to put effort into sneaking video game titles into a casual conversation.

    Oh please, it would've sounded better if you just said the world ends with you.

    They passed through the alleys that once held thousands of posts from the introduction section and reached the entrance to their base. Knocking on the door three times, Alex spoke his designated code phrase.

    "Puella Magica, vi Brittania."

    He entered and watched the girl speak her phrase.

    "Tennant, Downey, Sora, Diamond."

    She walked past him and went straight to her quarters. As each member passed on to the departure plane, those who were worthy of gaining entry into the society moved into their quarters. It might seem awkward to some, but it was the only way for the society to remain secret.

    The girl walked into her new quarters and Plums decided to head over to his. He was sad. Having others see him that way was bad; without hope there was no point in resisting the death and destruction that consumed the city.

    He shut the door to his quarters as quietly as possible and lay down on his bed. The former fruitbender placed his glasses on the nightstand beside him, remembering his old friend. They shared a name change fad for a while until that neverending night. He had died in a fight against one of the local thugs and this... this kid was taking his place! Nobody could ever do what that man did. His long, ginger hair was always a symbol of joy and he usually came back from missions with a Jane Austin book or Homestuck reference to talk about.

    "Clawtooth, you ass. How could you leave me here?"

    A single tear ran down the boy's cheek as he turned away from the door, gripping his pillow as tight as he could.

    "...I never got to say goodbye, you 8astard."

    ~

    Heroes will rise and warriors will fall

    Yeah, my writing skills are crap. I just hope my format isn't too annoying to read.

    Anyway, CnC would be nice and I hope that you guys will enjoy what has yet to come.

    Day 2: Call to Training

    "RISE AND SHINE!"

    "The hell!?"

    She woke with a start, not knowing what was going on. She heard someone yell quite loudly and figured it was over a megaphone. Looking at her door, she saw that it was only open. Nobody was in sight. She looked to her left and saw her cloak hanging in the closet. Then she looked to the right...

    "Morning sunshine. 8D"

    "Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

    She saw a boy with Pikachu face paint and a pair of simple glasses about an inch from her face. She was startled and almost fell out of her bed.

    "Well, you sure are a heavy sleeper. It took me five tries to get any sort of responce. ^-^"

    She looked at him for a few seconds as he started to walk away from the bed. He had a P for his cloak's zipper and he seemed to have an accent, though she couldn't tell if it was from New Zealand or Australia.

    "Wait a second... aren't you Pika Power? I think I remember you from my first week here."

    "Ah, so you did remember me, little kitty. :D"

    "Please don't call me tha-"

    "I am Pika_Power and I used to be the head of both voxli and the suggestions for a porn section."

    She looked at this boy with a confused expression. She honestly didn't understand how this was a joking matter.

    "Okay... that last joke wasn't very funny though."

    He looked at her with a stern face. His expression reminded her a bit of Yukio Okumura from Ao No Exorcist. Even the way the light reflected off of his glasses showed that he was certainly unamused.

    "B|... Well, introductions aside, today is your first day of training. Meet us up in the strategy room and we'll fill you in. As a wise man once said, Allons-y! ;)"

    With that, P walked out. Cat made sure to close the door as she put on her old Sora cosplay outfit. She then proceeded to cover it with her cloak and put her official tenth Doctor Sonic Screwdriver in one of the inside pockets. She always had it on her for intimidation, as most people didn't even know who David Tennant was.

    Walking out of her room, she saw Plums leaning up against his door. He was looking down at his feet but she could tell that his mind was on other things. He gave her an evil stare as she walked over to the strategy room where most of the intelligent minds gathered to create plans against the beasts lurking in KHV.

    Fearless was yelling at Noroz and Feenie to get serious and lecturing them on how she had earned the rights to her name back before either of them even knew what a Keyblade was. In the corner, all of the citizens with nicknames relating to Keyblades held casual conversations about irrelevant topics.

    None of this mattered. None of it. There was only one thing that interested Cat, and that was a lone monitor in the back of the room. It wasn't anything special, just a crappy old computer monitor from around 2001. No, it was what it said that intrigued her. It struck such a chord that she couldn't bear to look away.

    Casualties:_0738

    That number alone was enough to make her sick. She started to think about what her initiation really meant. She remembered the day before setting out on her journey back to KHV. She remembered the conversation she had with a certain person on that day.

    ~

    Kid, you've still got a long way to go before you'll ever amount to anything. Trust me, it'll take years before anyone will ever respect you in this group. They won't care that you took the entrance exam three times. They won't care if you joined in 2009 or 2006. They won't give a crap about any of that.

    .....

    Look, I know life doesn't always work out the way you want it to. I know that we can't all stay here forever, but you left for too long. Twice. Nobody's gonna respect that. Hell, you're lucky to have earned the respect of an admin like me.

    ...First off, don't call me a kid. Second, I don't care what they say about me.

    Huh?

    You call yourself RoxasvsRiku, right? Well then, "RvR", you don't have to give me this speech. I'll just go look for the secret spoiler on my own.

    Wait, how do YOU know about the spoiler!?

    Please, you honestly can't expect a secret like that to stay hidden forever. Everyone knows the legend and everyone wastes their lives trying to find it. But me, I did the smart thing and got your attention before asking to join. That way, you knew that I wanted to get back and fight this thing. I made sure to send a clear message straight to both parties, and i'm dead serious about getting back into KHV!

    ...well, you're smarter than you look. Alright then, here's the map. Memorize it and get out there. Make sure to show your escort your id and remember your password, without it they won't let you into HQ.

    Yeah yeah, i've got it... and thanks. For everything.


    ~

    After thinking about that day, Cat remembered why she was here and realized that it had been a few minutes since she started to stare at the computer screen. A few members had been staring at her, namely P and Fearless. She decided to act like it was nothing and just walk over to the group's resident fangirl for card games on motorcycles.

    Cat walked up to her. Noroz and Feenie were just staring at her after that whole episode but she made sure to punch her open palm and send them the message. She looked straight at them and mouthed three words.

    "Run away, cowards."

    They backed away slowly and she began to talk to Fearless about her first day of training.

    "Ah, I see you didn't have a problem finding this place. I was afraid you might get lost. :)"

    P had walked up to her. They didn't seem to question her about the whole episode in staring at the monitor and, to be honest, she was happy with that. The less they dug into her personal business, the better.

    "Yeah, I tried to learn where all teh important rooms were before heading out here."

    Fearless and P seemed a bit shocked to hear this, but after it set in they almost seemed impressed.

    "Well then, i'll leave you and Fearless to discuss your frst day of training. Good luck. :D"

    Fearless looked back at her and began to explain what her first mission would entail.

    "You see, a small gang across town is flaming an innocent girl in the Graphic Art section. We think the girl is Heart. Kingdom Hearts530 to be exact. The perpetrators were all previously banned, so they mean serious business. We just need you to head out with Ienzo, Britishism and Llave to take care of it. Since it's training they'll show you the ropes before you do any real work."

    "Alright but I was here for a while before the neverending night. Can you tell me who's in this little gang?"

    "Fine. It's just three guys: Zter, Smurfasaurus and Roxas. Roxas is the worst, as he was banned for indecent exposure."

    "Wait... what!? But indecent exposure is a class two felony!"

    "I know, that's why I said it was serious. Now go!"

    Cat nodded. With this, she would officially become a part of the resistance and she would be able to prove herself to the rest of the group. She was just glad to have been paired with like-minded individuals. They had all communicated at one point or another before she left so they could work easily as a team.

    She met them all at the door. They pulled their hoods up and ran out into the city. They didn't talk or mess around like they used to. No, they were all focused on bringing down this ruthless gang. Well, she was also focused on getting through her training and becoming a true member of this crazy band of freedom fighters.

    She smiled as her glasses started to slide off her face. She fixed them as she went, passing sections of the city that she used to frequent. Distant memories of a happier time tried to climb up out of the depths of her mind. They couldn't, it was just too hard to think about it all without thinking about how close she was to ending up a part of the neverending night.

    She kept running, focusing on the mission at hand. She looked over at her teammates occasionally to see how they handled the situation. None of them even broke a sweat as they ran to the center of town. When they finally arrived, they saw something they hadn't expected at all. It was horrible and indescribable.

    It was exactly what this world had become.

    Day 3: Call to Reminiscence

    They all looked on in horror, shocked by the scene they'd arrived to. Heart was bruised and unconscious on the floor. Her clothes had been cut up with a blade through the person who did it left her skin untouched. The four fighters deduced that this had been done after she was unconscious.

    "Same thing as before, that pattern is etched on her clothes. What do you think Enzy?"

    "..."

    She only nodded. Llave said that this had happened before and Cat just looked on in fear and disgust.

    Britishism walked over to examine the pattern and took a snapshot with his mask. He urged Cat to come and help him examine her. She did and noticed that the symbol was an upside-down Kingdom Hearts crown. When she kneeled down next to him, he began to whisper to her. He was never one for unnecessary chatter.

    "Listen Cat, this isn't a mission for you. Fearless thought it was a simple case of flaming but you can see that it's clearly more than that. Go back. Now."

    She heard that last word and looked at him where she thought his eyes were.

    "No Brit. I'll stay out of your way if you need me to, but i'm not leaving. I need to find out what we're up against."

    She stood up and noticed a dark patch on the wall behind them both. Taking out her sonic screwdriver, she touched it with her left hand. When she turned it on, she recognized it right away.

    "Blood... and it's right where someone's shoulder would be."

    She decduced that much after having played all of the Ace Attorney games she could get her hands on. As she followed the subtle trail of blood on the floor, she eventually hit a dead end at a dumpster.

    "Hey guys... you might wanna check this out!"

    Llave and Enzy seemed surprised that they hadn't noticed the blood before. Then again, they weren't carrying sonic screwdrivers; Enzy made sure to jot down a reminder to pack hers for next time. They all thought that the dead end was odd so they opened the dumpster. They were all disgusted by what they found.

    "No, he's been dead a week!"
    "Well, the blood does look pretty old Enzy."
    "Shut it, Llave! We'll have to tell Plums... that we finally found him."

    ~

    You are CLAWTOOTH. The current date is 11/22/XX, one week before the events that you've just read. You don't know why the narration suddenly switched to a HOMESTUCK-esque style but for some reason, you're glad to not be dead in the third chapter of a KHV fanfic.

    SPOKEN SPECIBUS has been switched to Third Person Kind.

    "Ah, much better. That Homestuck narration was really ruining the moment."

    This boy, Claw to friends and acquaintances alike, was walking back to base. He used his usual route through all of the back alleys in the city, letting his ginger-ish hair glide behind him as he went. His sexy, Scottish accent was always enough to make women like Daxa swoon. He was proud of this. He coudn't wait to get back and tell his fruit-bending pal about the last act of Homestuck that he'd written. Travel between cities had become impossible since the neverending night; the usual plays for Homestuck had been long since cancelled. They both had to come up with their own endings to each act to quell the needs of all the city's local Stuckies.

    I have to tell him how Dave is going to use his katana to send John to-

    There was a faint sound, like a snapping twig. He was the only one in the Graphic Art section right now and he knew that all the frequent visitors had gone home for now.

    Well, that's odd. I guess i'd best keep quiet and hurry back.

    Claw slowly took out his Strife Specibus card and lay it down at his feet.

    Well, this is it. My last card. I'd better make this one count.

    He crushed the card with his foot and tightly gripped the katana that materialized in front of him.

    Making sure to check every corner, he went as fast as possible towards the base. He hid in a corner for a few seconds as he stuck his hair into his hood. You couldn't be to careful when you were alone in the dark.

    There was suddenly another snap from behind him.

    He turned almost simultaneously and held his katana out, gripping it as if his very life depended on it.

    "Who's there!?"

    His scottish voice rang out in the empty alleyways.

    Another snap.

    Another turn.

    Another snap.

    This is just getting ridiculous!

    He heard running but he couldn't tell where it was coming from.

    SNAP!

    ~

    They were all looking after Heart now, making sure she was still alive. Her heart rate was normal, despite what might've happened to her before.

    Cat was crouched down on the floor next to her. She had seen a lot today but she was still as determined as ever. She knew from the beginning that things were bad and she was determined to work hard and make it better. She felt a hand on her shoulder.

    "Hey, you okay Cat?"

    It was Llave. He came over to her to make sure she was okay. He had a worried look on his face but it was only because he was worried about how today might've affected her.

    "Yeah Llave... i'm fine."

    She got up and leaned against the wall, putting her hood up and fixing her glasses.

    "A-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha..."

    They all jerked. That laughter hadn't come from any of them.

    "Who's there!?"

    "Oh, you've got spunk. Well, Llave De Espada, you really shouldn't have asked that."

    "Yes. It's too bad... you would've been a perfect candidate for our next victim by yourself."

    "Yeah! Now we'll just have to burn ya!"

    "WIGGLZ! Stop being such a child..."

    "Sorry Retz..."

    The four fighters formed a circle. They were all facing opposite directions but they had to if they were going to stay safe.

    "Well well, it's Retz, Smurf and Roxas. Not bad timing either, we were about to leave you on the streets."

    "Quiet Brit... we need to be ready for them. Hey Cat, you have a weapon you can summon?"

    "Yeah Enzy, i'll be fine. Just look out for yourselves."

    The four of them brought out four very different weapons to defend themselves with.

    Britishism took a single pistol out from his coat pocket and gripped it with both hands, pointing it in the direction he was facing.

    Ienzo took out a tiny little book which glowed when she crushed it between her fingers. It shone with a strange light as it opened to a specific page. Everyone remembered it as Zexion's weapon of choice in Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories.

    Llave summoned the Kingdom Key and pointed it out into the alley.

    Cat took out a single card and crushed it in her hand. She glowed for a second and, when the light faded, she was wearing a black suit with white undershirts and an untied tie. She raised an open palm and summoned Sora from Kingdom Hearts to fight for her. It seemed as though he was confused by all the people in Organization cloaks and Llave with his Keyblade but he quickly got over it and prepared for battle.

    It looked like Cat would get some real fight training after all.

    Simple, he's too hard to write for.
    I think it's because he's so loved. The more you care about a person, the more sadness you feel when they have to go.

    I'll give normies a place in the story, don't worry. I just wanted to show that the group isn't easy to get into if you're new to the whole scenario.

    Yeah, i'll be sure to remember that for the next few chapters.

    I also wanted to pay homage to the guy who started the whole KHV fanfic fad. Hell, he has more time in the first chapter than I do, and THAT'S saying something.

    fadception :^

    Anyway, all of you kids posting makes me happy :D

    But to get to the point, I am really loving this post-apocalyptic KHV. And Cat for Moderator. xD

    I didn't see any spelling or grammar errors when I read through, and
    you know me so well. :'D

    I am looking forward to reading more, and you better update soon. B|

    Is dead!Claw a universal constant now!!??!?!?!?

    Anyways, I'm really liking this post-apocalyptic vibe you've got going on in this one. It's really different from the other KHV stories I have read, and I hope that it continues to be as interesting. I really want to know what the Neverending Night was, and stuff. So good luck, and I hope this continues to be awesome.

    Why thank you, but fear not! Clawtooth will likely have some flashback sequences. Also, some of you normies are gonna get quite evil in the next few chapters.

    Fadception indeed, broski.

    Yes! Cat for super-duper-epic-amazing moderator! >:3

    A bit too well if you ask me, but we DID talk a bit before you got red aso it shouldn't be so shocking.

    I'm updating rite now, gosh!


    A-yup. It just adds to the depressing vibe cause if you died we'd all be as depressed as story!Plums.

    Thanks. I wanted to make it stand out from all the other KHV fanfiction by making it a post-apocalyptic society. It kind of derives from inFamous in that sense too; all the thugs taking over the city while innocent people are being abused constantly and a great force rises up to challenge the injustice.


    Day 2: Call to Training

    "RISE AND SHINE!"

    "The hell!?"

    She woke with a start, not knowing what was going on. She heard someone yell quite loudly and figured it was over a megaphone. Looking at her door, she saw that it was only open. Nobody was in sight. She looked to her left and saw her cloak hanging in the closet. Then she looked to the right...

    "Morning sunshine. 8D"

    "Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"

    She saw a boy with Pikachu face paint and a pair of simple glasses about an inch from her face. She was startled and almost fell out of her bed.

    "Well, you sure are a heavy sleeper. It took me five tries to get any sort of responce. ^-^"

    She looked at him for a few seconds as he started to walk away from the bed. He had a P for his cloak's zipper and he seemed to have an accent, though she couldn't tell if it was from New Zealand or Australia.

    "Wait a second... aren't you Pika Power? I think I remember you from my first week here."

    "Ah, so you did remember me, little kitty. :D"

    "Please don't call me tha-"

    "I am Pika_Power and I used to be the head of both voxli and the suggestions for a porn section."

    She looked at this boy with a confused expression. She honestly didn't understand how this was a joking matter.

    "Okay... that last joke wasn't very funny though."

    He looked at her with a stern face. His expression reminded her a bit of Yukio Okumura from Ao No Exorcist. Even the way the light reflected off of his glasses showed that he was certainly unamused.

    "B|... Well, introductions aside, today is your first day of training. Meet us up in the strategy room and we'll fill you in. As a wise man once said, Allons-y! ;)"

    With that, P walked out. Cat made sure to close the door as she put on her old Sora cosplay outfit. She then proceeded to cover it with her cloak and put her official tenth Doctor Sonic Screwdriver in one of the inside pockets. She always had it on her for intimidation, as most people didn't even know who David Tennant was.

    Walking out of her room, she saw Plums leaning up against his door. He was looking down at his feet but she could tell that his mind was on other things. He gave her an evil stare as she walked over to the strategy room where most of the intelligent minds gathered to create plans against the beasts lurking in KHV.

    Fearless was yelling at Noroz and Feenie to get serious and lecturing them on how she had earned the rights to her name back before either of them even knew what a Keyblade was. In the corner, all of the citizens with nicknames relating to Keyblades held casual conversations about irrelevant topics.

    None of this mattered. None of it. There was only one thing that interested Cat, and that was a lone monitor in the back of the room. It wasn't anything special, just a crappy old computer monitor from around 2001. No, it was what it said that intrigued her. It struck such a chord that she couldn't bear to look away.

    Casualties:_0738

    That number alone was enough to make her sick. She started to think about what her initiation really meant. She remembered the day before setting out on her journey back to KHV. She remembered the conversation she had with a certain person on that day.

    ~

    Kid, you've still got a long way to go before you'll ever amount to anything. Trust me, it'll take years before anyone will ever respect you in this group. They won't care that you took the entrance exam three times. They won't care if you joined in 2009 or 2006. They won't give a crap about any of that.

    .....

    Look, I know life doesn't always work out the way you want it to. I know that we can't all stay here forever, but you left for too long. Twice. Nobody's gonna respect that. Hell, you're lucky to have earned the respect of an admin like me.

    ...First off, don't call me a kid. Second, I don't care what they say about me.

    Huh?

    You call yourself RoxasvsRiku, right? Well then, "RvR", you don't have to give me this speech. I'll just go look for the secret spoiler on my own.

    Wait, how do YOU know about the spoiler!?

    Please, you honestly can't expect a secret like that to stay hidden forever. Everyone knows the legend and everyone wastes their lives trying to find it. But me, I did the smart thing and got your attention before asking to join. That way, you knew that I wanted to get back and fight this thing. I made sure to send a clear message straight to both parties, and i'm dead serious about getting back into KHV!

    ...well, you're smarter than you look. Alright then, here's the map. Memorize it and get out there. Make sure to show your escort your id and remember your password, without it they won't let you into HQ.

    Yeah yeah, i've got it... and thanks. For everything.

    After thinking about that day, Cat remembered why she was here and realized that it had been a few minutes since she started to stare at the computer screen. A few members had been staring at her, namely P and Fearless. She decided to act like it was nothing and just walk over to the group's resident fangirl for card games on motorcycles.

    Cat walked up to her. Noroz and Feenie were just staring at her after that whole episode but she made sure to punch her open palm and send them the message. She looked straight at them and mouthed three words.

    "Run away, cowards."

    They backed away slowly and she began to talk to Fearless about her first day of training.

    "Ah, I see you didn't have a problem finding this place. I was afraid you might get lost. :)"

    P had walked up to her. They didn't seem to question her about the whole episode in staring at the monitor and, to be honest, she was happy with that. The less they dug into her personal business, the better.

    "Yeah, I tried to learn where all teh important rooms were before heading out here."

    Fearless and P seemed a bit shocked to hear this, but after it set in they almost seemed impressed.

    "Well then, i'll leave you and Fearless to discuss your frst day of training. Good luck. :D"

    Fearless looked back at her and began to explain what her first mission would entail.

    "You see, a small gang across town is flaming an innocent girl in the Graphic Art section. We think the girl is Heart. Kingdom Hearts530 to be exact. The perpetrators were all previously banned, so they mean serious business. We just need you to head out with Ienzo, Britishism and Llave to take care of it. Since it's training they'll show you the ropes before you do any real work."

    "Alright but I was here for a while before the neverending night. Can you tell me who's in this little gang?"

    "Fine. It's just three guys: Zter, Smurfasaurus and Roxas. Roxas is the worst, as he was banned for indecent exposure."

    "Wait... what!? But indecent exposure is a class two felony!"

    "I know, that's why I said it was serious. Now go!"

    Cat nodded. With this, she would officially become a part of the resistance and she would be able to prove herself to the rest of the group. She was just glad to have been paired with like-minded individuals. They had all communicated at one point or another before she left so they could work easily as a team.

    She met them all at the door. They pulled their hoods up and ran out into the city. They didn't talk or mess around like they used to. No, they were all focused on bringing down this ruthless gang. Well, she was also focused on getting through her training and becoming a true member of this crazy band of freedom fighters.

    She smiled as her glasses started to slide off her face. She fixed them as she went, passing sections of the city that she used to frequent. Distant memories of a happier time tried to climb up out of the depths of her mind. They couldn't, it was just too hard to think about it all without thinking about how close she was to ending up a part of the neverending night.

    She kept running, focusing on the mission at hand. She looked over at her teammates occasionally to see how they handled the situation. None of them even broke a sweat as they ran to the center of town. When they finally arrived, they saw something they hadn't expected at all. It was horrible and indescribable.

    It was exactly what this world had become.

    Well, I did reference too much pop culture in this chapter. Doctor Who (like three times), YGO the abridged movie, P and his porn section, etc.

    But you're welcome. I was happy to do it and it looks like you enjoy your little damsel in distress role.

    Thanks Fearless.

    Chapter three. And just a little info...
    It happens in a big network of alleys. That's pretty much how half the city is designed. Behind a certain person is a brick wall and it's dark all the time.

    And yes, Britishism uses his mask like an iPad on his face. He can take pictures, record video, facetime, etc. He's just a boss like that~

    All right, enjoy.
    Day 3: Call to Reminiscence

    They all looked on in horror, shocked by the scene they'd arrived to. Heart was bruised and unconscious on the floor. Her clothes had been cut up with a blade through the person who did it left her skin untouched. The four fighters deduced that this had been done after she was unconscious.

    "Same thing as before, that pattern is etched on her clothes. What do you think Enzy?"

    "..."

    She only nodded. Llave said that this had happened before and Cat just looked on in fear and disgust.

    Britishism walked over to examine the pattern and took a snapshot with his mask. He urged Cat to come and help him examine her. She did and noticed that the symbol was an upside-down Kingdom Hearts crown. When she kneeled down next to him, he began to whisper to her. He was never one for unnecessary chatter.

    "Listen Cat, this isn't a mission for you. Fearless thought it was a simple case of flaming but you can see that it's clearly more than that. Go back. Now."

    She heard that last word and looked at him where she thought his eyes were.

    "No Brit. I'll stay out of your way if you need me to, but i'm not leaving. I need to find out what we're up against."

    She stood up and noticed a dark patch on the wall behind them both. Taking out her sonic screwdriver, she touched it with her left hand. When she turned it on, she recognized it right away.

    "Blood... and it's right where someone's shoulder would be."

    She decduced that much after having played all of the Ace Attorney games she could get her hands on. As she followed the subtle trail of blood on the floor, she eventually hit a dead end at a dumpster.

    "Hey guys... you might wanna check this out!"

    Llave and Enzy seemed surprised that they hadn't noticed the blood before. Then again, they weren't carrying sonic screwdrivers; Enzy made sure to jot down a reminder to pack hers for next time. They all thought that the dead end was odd so they opened the dumpster. They were all disgusted by what they found.

    "No, he's been dead a week!"
    "Well, the blood does look pretty old Enzy."
    "Shut it, Llave! We'll have to tell Plums... that we finally found him."

    ~

    You are CLAWTOOTH. The current date is 11/22/XX, one week before the events that you've just read. You don't know why the narration suddenly switched to a HOMESTUCK-esque style but for some reason, you're glad to not be dead in the third chapter of a KHV fanfic.

    SPOKEN SPECIBUS has been switched to Third Person Kind.

    "Ah, much better. That Homestuck narration was really ruining the moment."

    This boy, Claw to friends and acquaintances alike, was walking back to base. He used his usual route through all of the back alleys in the city, letting his ginger-ish hair glide behind him as he went. His sexy, Scottish accent was always enough to make women like Daxa swoon. He was proud of this. He coudn't wait to get back and tell his fruit-bending pal about the last act of Homestuck that he'd written. Travel between cities had become impossible since the neverending night; the usual plays for Homestuck had been long since cancelled. They both had to come up with their own endings to each act to quell the needs of all the city's local Stuckies.

    I have to tell him how Dave is going to use his katana to send John to-

    There was a faint sound, like a snapping twig. He was the only one in the Graphic Art section right now and he knew that all the frequent visitors had gone home for now.

    Well, that's odd. I guess i'd best keep quiet and hurry back.

    Claw slowly took out his Strife Specibus card and lay it down at his feet.

    Well, this is it. My last card. I'd better make this one count.

    He crushed the card with his foot and tightly gripped the katana that materialized in front of him.

    Making sure to check every corner, he went as fast as possible towards the base. He hid in a corner for a few seconds as he stuck his hair into his hood. You couldn't be to careful when you were alone in the dark.

    There was suddenly another snap from behind him.

    He turned almost simultaneously and held his katana out, gripping it as if his very life depended on it.

    "Who's there!?"

    His scottish voice rang out in the empty alleyways.

    Another snap.

    Another turn.

    Another snap.

    This is just getting ridiculous!

    He heard running but he couldn't tell where it was coming from.

    SNAP!

    ~

    They were all looking after Heart now, making sure she was still alive. Her heart rate was normal, despite what might've happened to her before.

    Cat was crouched down on the floor next to her. She had seen a lot today but she was still as determined as ever. She knew from the beginning that things were bad and she was determined to work hard and make it better. She felt a hand on her shoulder.

    "Hey, you okay Cat?"

    It was Llave. He came over to her to make sure she was okay. He had a worried look on his face but it was only because he was worried about how today might've affected her.

    "Yeah Llave... i'm fine."

    She got up and leaned against the wall, putting her hood up and fixing her glasses.

    "A-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha..."

    They all jerked. That laughter hadn't come from any of them.

    "Who's there!?"

    "Oh, you've got spunk. Well, Llave De Espada, you really shouldn't have asked that."

    "Yes. It's too bad... you would've been a perfect candidate for our next victim by yourself."

    "Yeah! Now we'll just have to burn ya!"

    "WIGGLZ! Stop being such a child..."

    "Sorry Retz..."

    The four fighters formed a circle. They were all facing opposite directions but they had to if they were going to stay safe.

    "Well well, it's Retz, Smurf and Roxas. Not bad timing either, we were about to leave you on the streets."

    "Quiet Brit... we need to be ready for them. Hey Cat, you have a weapon you can summon?"

    "Yeah Enzy, i'll be fine. Just look out for yourselves."

    The four of them brought out four very different weapons to defend themselves with.

    Britishism took a single pistol out from his coat pocket and gripped it with both hands, pointing it in the direction he was facing.

    Ienzo took out a tiny little book which glowed when she crushed it between her fingers. It shone with a strange light as it opened to a specific page. Everyone remembered it as Zexion's weapon of choice in Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories.

    Llave summoned the Kingdom Key and pointed it out into the alley.

    Cat took out a single card and crushed it in her hand. She glowed for a second and, when the light faded, she was wearing a black suit with white undershirts and an untied tie. She raised an open palm and summoned Sora from Kingdom Hearts to fight for her. It seemed as though he was confused by all the people in Organization cloaks and Llave with his Keyblade but he quickly got over it and prepared for battle.

    It looked like Cat would get some real fight training after all.

    This is really good, you need to stop being down on yourself about your writing. I'm surprised I didn't notice it before, so thanks for the link.

    Anyway. There are a few errors, such as an uncapitalized "I" here or there. But that doesn't hinder the story in the slightest. The plot is quite interesting and pretty unique, so good work. Keep updating.

    also you made me too much of a badass

    Oh, I like this story. Is it bad that I laughed when they found Claw's body? :c

    Nice job Cat! I really enjoy KHVfics, but this has to be one of my favorites. I didn't see many spelling issues; as Brit said, just an uncapitalized "I" every now and then. I can't wait to read the next one.
