The four of you that read the beginning of my story were quite nice with your comments, and Out-Of-Ammo volunteered to be my last main character, so here's Chapter 2 of my story!
Here's Chapter 1 if you still want to read it. That blog has the character bios and everything as well, so be sure to read those, too, if you haven't already. This chapter is just about a little bit of a background for Squirrel, Jager, and Eric, and how they'll be travelling. I want to get that out of the way, before I get started with the actual story. Just so you know. ;)
....Well, there's not much more to say, so let's get started with Chapter 2! Hope you enjoy!
Chapter 2
Squirrel sighed, and watched the Heartless man fade. She glanced down at her Reconnect Keyblade, then turned around to face her friends.
"Why do you think we were chosen to... wield these powers?" Eric asked softly. For once, he didn't seem very confident, like he usually was. Now he seemed somewhat scared.
There was a silence between the three friends. Squirrel stared at her weapon when it disappeared, but she wasn't surprised. She figured it only came to her when she needed it. Jager glanced from Eric to Squirrel then to his feet, and back up at his friends once more.
"I've got it!" He shouted.
"Got what? Insanity?" Squirrel mumbled.
"We have questions, right? So why don't we visit Twilight Town? All three of us know that people go there when they're lost!"
"Uh, Jager, that's..." Squirrel didn't finished. The more she thought about it, the more she figured it was worth a try. "Let's go."
"Time for adventure!" Eric smiled.
"Uh.... One problem...." Jager stopped. "We have no way of getting there.... I mean, how are a couple of 16 year old kids going to travel between worlds!? We know only Gummi Ships could ever do that!"
"Then let's get one!" Eric spoke.
"They don't sell them on Earth, moron. You know as well as I do Gummi Ships aren't allowed to travel here." Squirrel slapped Eric on the back of the head. "We have cars and airplanes here. Not Gummi Ships."
"I never understood that.... Why aren't Gummi Ships allowed to travel here, again?" Jager asked.
"Some people from a bunch of worlds, including this one, put a ban on it because the humans on this planet are afraid of the other worlds and their "creatures." It's stupid if you ask me." Squirrel explained. There was a long pause before Eric spoke up.
"And we aren't mortal humans, right?" He asked.
Squirrel and Jager glanced at each other. Eric was right - the three of them weren't originally from Earth. They were humans, but they weren't from Earth. Eric had been living on Earth a little longer than Jager or Squirrel, so he didn't know as much about it as them.
"Well, we are humans. We're just not from Earth." Jager spoke in a low voice. "The three of us are originally from Twilight Town, which, obviously, isn't Earth."
"Really? Hm, I knew we weren't from Earth, but I never knew we were from Twilight Town." Eric shrugged it off like it was nothing.
"Rrgh...." Squirrel felt like strangling him, but decided against it. "Look, how are we going to get ourselves a Gummi Ship? Either of you geniuses have an idea?"
Just as Jager was going to respond to being insulted, Squirrel's cell phone rang.
"Um, hello?" Squirrel answered. She seemed confused that her cell phone would ring at a time like this.
"Squirrel! Is that you!?" A man on the other end replied. She recognized the voice of Kora, an old friend of the three. Squirrel, Jager, and Eric's heroes, Sora and Kairi, had visited Earth once with their child, Kora. Before the Gummi Ship ban, of course. Sora and Kairi were some sort of adventurers in the past, and when they had visited Earth, the three befriended Kora. Sora and Kairi were dead now, but Kora was around the same age as them.
"Kora! Man, it's good to hear from you!" Squirrel was glad to hear from him, especially now since he could help with the problem at hand.
"Is Squirrel really talking to Kora?!" Eric whispered to Jager.
"He has a Gummi Ship! He can help us!" Jager spoke, and the two of them smiled as they listened to the rest of Squirrel and Kora's conversation.
"Alright. We'll do it." Squirrel had spoken. She paused before continuing, "But can you do us a favor in return?"
"Thank you! And, of course you know I'll help you in return! Even if you weren't doing this for me, you know I'd do anything to help you three!" Kora's voice echoed loud enough that Jager and Eric could hear.
"After we help you, we'll need to use your Gummi Ship for a while." Squirrel spoke calmly.
"The old Gummi Ship? Ha, take it for as long as you'd like! I'll do anything to help!"
"Great. Thanks a lot, Kora, you're pretty much saving us here! Pick us up, kay?"
"You three still livin' on Earth?"
"Yep. Save place as always."
"Got it. I'll be there soon." The call was ended. Eric noticed how bad it must have been for Squirrel, since Kora pretty much yelled into the phone the whole time. Meanwhile Jager wondered how Kora's call would've gotten from Destiny Islands to Earth, but didn't think very much of it. He was just thankful they had found a Gummi Ship.
"So, wait, what do we have to do for Kora?" Jager asked.
"Nothing we can't handle. I could start and finish it by myself!" Squirrel tried not to say much on what they had to do, and was relieved when both Jager and Eric shrugged and agreed.
"Yeah. I mean, what's one little detour? We can help Kora out first, then get to Twilight Town, get our answers, and find out what we're supposed to do since we've been chosen!" Eric said. "Plus, if we need to get to any other worlds, we can use Kora's Gummi Ship!"
Squirrel winced at his up-beat attitude. "I really wonder why I hang out with you sometimes...." She grumbled to herself.

What do you think? I am enjoying writing this quite a lot more than I expected! I think I'm doing well, too.
By the next chapter, the main characters will have a Gummi Ship to use for travel (Kora isn't important, I just needed someone to make an appearance so the characters would have a way to travel), and Out-Of-Ammo will appear! Well, he'll either appear at the ending of Chapter 3, or somewhere in Chapter 4. Depends how long Chapter 3 is, actually.
Well.... I don't have much else to blog about right now. My next blog will not be about my story if I get The World Ends With You over the weekend (I'll be hunting for it :P). Just so you know what to expect! ;)
Anyway, hope you enjoyed Chapter 2! Thanks in advance for any helpful comments!
