Capítulo 7: 6. Radiant Garden.
___
The trio were looking between Leo and Yen Sid in disbelief.
"Master Yen Sid, what do you mean, Leo just managed to use his Keyblade.. How can he already be a master?" Terra asked slightly frustrated.
Yen Sid shook his head, "I made this assessment by the same standards as with Sora and Riku, Leo here has managed to unlock the power of waking.. How, i do not know.. But it isn't much of a problem." He answered.
"He's right Terra! Leo might be a master Keyblader, even though he's a newbie.. But, he can still expand his knowledge, and train himself further, just like we all can, in the end we're all still the same.." Aqua said with a smile, trying to ease Terra's frustration.
"I see! That's true, when we both had a match earlier, Leo improved alot! While i also saw some of my own flaws.." Ventus said proudly.
"Yeah.. I understand what you mean now." Terra said as he thought about it clearly, he couldn't blame others like that.
Yen Sid nodded approvingly, he then focused his attention back at Leo, who was listening to everything attentively.
"Leo.. I want you to go with the others to visit the laboratory in Radiant Garden for a physical examination, and maybe get a medical evaluation.. Seeing you here right now, i need to do some research myself to be sure of something important.. But, it would be good for second opinion from another point of perspective." He explained seriously.
"Is Leo alright?" Aqua asked worried.
Yen Sid shook his head, "It might be something concerning, but i need to research it thoroughly.." He said thoughtfully.
Leo nodded, "Thank you sir! I'll do just that!" He said.
As they were about to go Yen Sid stopped him, "Before you leave Leo, allow me give a congratulatory present first.." He said as he snapped his fingers.
Leo was suddenly engulfed in light surprising everyone there.
As it faded everyone looked surprised seeing him, Leo was now fully decked out in new clothing.. The others looked at him in awe.
He is now wearing an open black flak jacket similar to what chunin wear in Konohagakure, but without the many pockets on it except on the sides.
Underneath, he is wearing short-sleeved white v-neck shirt. The sleeves were checkered in black and white. And he is now wearing a black necklace with Shadow Lynx styled Shurikey on the end.
He's also wearing slightly baggy black long-shorts, with the same checkered prints over the knees and on the ends which are folded up.
His shoes looked like step in laceless sneakers with checkered prints as well, it looked quite stylish on Leo.
"You look great Leo!" Ventus said excited.
"Hm.. Maybe, we should also upgrade our gear.." Aqua mumbled slightly as she admired Leo's new looks.
"He kind of reminds me of Sora and Riku now.." Terra said with a grin.
Leo looked in the mirror admiring his new clothes, "Woah.. Thank you sir! It looks awesome.." He said turning back to Yen Sid.
Yen Sid just waved it off with a slight smile.
They all then said goodbye and went on their way towards Radiant Garden.
Though whilst they were leaving Leo suddenly asked quietly.. "How come, Master Yen Sid can create such great clothing.. But, he can't fix the tower?" He asked, he felt genuinely confused about why such a great Sorcerer, lives in such a crooked tower.
The trio all held his mouth in order to quickly shush him, as they dragged him off as fast as they possibly could.
Yen Sid hearing his comment just chuckled, "Simular to Sora and Riku.. Indeed.." He said as he started to read through his book.
Getting outside they sighed in relief and they opened up a portal again, toward Radiant Garden this time..
___
"Leo you see that tower over there?" Terra asked Leo who looked around happily in awe prompting him to look and nod.
"Yeah! Ansem's castle right?" He confirmed.
Aqua nodded, "Exactly! Could you go on ahead! The three of us, need too quickly take care of some business first, before we'll head on over ourselves." She asked with a small smile.
Leo nodded seeing no problem with her request, "No problem! I'll see you three later then!" He shouted out, as he then walked off while waving back.
They all separated, and Leo enjoyed the trip walking while looking around curiously with a happy smile on his face.
'While playing the game this was one of my most favorite worlds.. Being here feels kinda surreal.. I guess all worlds do..' He thought.
Leo had almost reached the entrance to the summit of the castle, when he suddenly heard a commotion ahead, which sounded like fighting.
'What's going on?' Leo wondered as he hurried up his pace.
___
While Leo was on his way to the castle.
"What's with Terra, Aqua and Ventus suddenly calling us all to gather up here today?" A tall spikey red haired man said curiously.
"There must be a good reason Axel." A short black haired girl said simply towards the tall man named Axel, though she also felt a bit curious.
"I know Xion! But, that's what makes me even more curious though.." Axel said with a slight cheeky smile.
"We'll just have to wait and see Axel" a spikey blond teen said as he shrugged nonchalantly, the blonde kid looked almost exactly like Ventus.
"Aww, you're no fun Roxas! It's good to be curious at times.. Got it memorized!" He said with a grin tapping head smartly, saying his most favorite line.
Roxas and Xion rolled their eyes, but they still smiled slightly at their friend's behavior.
___
As they just reached the summit, they were all suddenly surrounded by a dozen Hearless, surprising the three of them..
"Shadows?!" Xion said in surprise and disbelief.
"Get ready, they're coming!" Roxas said and they all summoned their own Keyblades.
___
The Heartless kept coming in droves, but the trio were fighting them all of quite easily!
However a group of weird moving white-silver creatures joined in as well.
"Oh, GREAT! And here comes the Nobodies!" Axel said with slight annoyance.
"Stay focused Axel!" Roxas shouted.
"I know! I got it memorized after all!" He said back, as he slayed a few off them in the process.
Axel then suddenly saw something from the corner of his eye moving quickly trying too attack Xion from behind.
"XION!" He shouted towards prompting her to raise her guard.
A lancer type Nobody called Dragoon, quickly struck down towards her!
Roxas and Axel tried to help, but were just too late in their response..
*Eek* Xion cried out in surprise! She tried to block, but she was too late to react properly as well..
Xion was about to get hit, when a black flash suddenly appeared slaying the Dragoon, and saving Xion quickly, luckily just in the nick of time!
The Heartless and Nobodies that were left over on the battlefield suddenly panicked, and quickly disappeared and retreated back into the darkness from where they came from..
Roxas, Axel and Xion looked dumbfounded at Lynx who was stuck in the ground besides Xion.. Before she disappeared in a quick flash of light.
'Was that a..' They all thought before they suddenly heard a shout.
___
"HEY! You three alright there?!" Leo called out while he was carrying Lynx, and running towards them, looking slightly worried.
Axel and Roxas stood in front of Xion protecting her from the new arrival while Xion took a deep breath to collect herself again..
Leo saw that and dismissed Lynx and held his hands up showing that he didn't meant them any harm.
"Easy everyone! I was just on my way towards the castle, when i suddenly heard a commotion.. When i saw your friend in trouble i quickly intervened.." He said explaining what he saw.
The trio relaxed a little, "So.. Who are you kid?" Axel asked curiously, but he did stay vigilant.
"My name is Leo, Nice to meet you! Ah! I traveled here together with Terra, Ventus and Aqua.. They told me head on over towards the castle first, as they still had some business to attend to." He said in a friendly manner, explaining what happened from his perspective.
The three relaxed and smiled back dismissing their Keyblades as well.
"Ah, I see! Thanks for helping us all out Leo.. Ah, my name is-" Axel tried to introduce himself, but Leo interrupted him with a grin.
"Lea, right? I got it memorized!" He said in the same manner, same as Axel always does.
Then he looked at the other two, "You two must be Xion and Roxas then.. Man, you really look identical to Ven! Though, you are slightly somber and dark looking, whilst Ven looks more happy-go-lucky instead!" *Pft* *Hahah* "You look like his evil twin" Leo chuckled, the trio were surprised, that he actually knew of them at first, but then Axel and Xion laughed at Roxas who looked like he swallowed a bug.
They all shook hands and warmed up to Leo slightly after talking for a while.
"So Leo, what was that weapon you used? It looked a lot like a Keyblade?" Xion wondered, the other two also looked like they wanted to know.
Leo smiled, "That's because she is indeed a Keyblade!" He said, summoning her once again and showing off what she can do.
They all had excited faces seeing his Keyblade, Leo explained how he got her last night and his spar with Ventus earlier.
They all nodded with understanding, "That's cool! I like your style of Keyblade as well!" Axel said with a grin.
Leo, Roxas and Xion all laughed at this..
