Kingdom Hearts: Saving Life in Another World

Chapter 62: ■■・

'Count three! Damn it! I knew that going on my own was going to get me killed by the witch but I guess that's my fault for thinking that would work.'

Subaru managed to get back his mind from the previous death, having been too confident that he can drag the witch away from the group. The only thing he didn't account for was the dusk nobodies and the heartless to block his pathway, leading him to his death by the witch's hand once again.

He looks around to see that he has returned to the spot his previous checkpoint was at with Rem having beaten the heartless with his keyblade. Subaru crossed his arms and evaluated his two counts.

'Okay, Emilia-chan and her group are going to struggle without our assistance, but Julius needs help with the trial since that prick is not making things easy...Hm.'

Subaru knew within the few seconds he has to make some plan that he needs to divide the group into a perfect combination, with one group going to help out Julius in beating Reid while the others help Emilia and her group deal with the Organization members. His father and Kishida are highly skilled but they can't do much against overpowered people such as Lye and Roy.

Rem can only do so much before she gives up on her strength, making it important that she fights alongside someone like Ram, Shaula, or Elsa. He along with Sora are the weakest of the group, both of them not at their full potential due to the loss of memories, something he still needs to get back.

'Okay, aside from that, I think if Rem and me go to assist Emilia-chan while Beako, Sora, dad, and Kishida help Julius will be worth trying. Sora could probably help Julius with his fight considering how he can change his keyblade's design into a powerful looking one. Then once down there if I can make sure nothing happens to Shaula, I can ask her to take on the Sin Archbishops with me and Rem.'

As Subaru came up with this idea, the group reunited which gave him the opportunity to pitch this new plan to them. He alerts them that Beatrice, Kishida, Sora, and Kenichi should check on Julius and help him out while Rem and himself go to check on Emilia's group. The group was okay with this except Beatrice, who wanted to stay with her contractor.

"I'm not leaving Betty's Subaru alone, I suppose!"

"I know but I'll be fine. Besides Beako, I have an important job for you."

"And what might that be, in fact?"

Subaru kneeled and patted her head while saying with a smile on his face,

"Protect my parents."

Beatrice looked at Subaru and knew that this request was big, knowing how important Subaru's parents are to her contractor and to herself. She stood silent for a brief moment before hugging her contractor, showing how worried she is with this plan yet she trusted him. After hugging for a few seconds, she looked at Subaru and with a serious facial expression she said,

"Y-You better return back to Betty, I suppose!"

"I will, I will."

"Okay."

Beatrice got up and followed Kenichi, Sora, and Kishida up towards the second trial's room in hopes of helping Julius with his part while Rem and Subaru went down the stairs to help Emilia's group. As the two went down the stairs, Subaru and Rem encountered the dusk nobodies with Roy and Lye catching up to them.

Subaru turned back to see this and smiled, having counted on this to happen. He pulls Rem and continues to lead the two down the stairs, allowing the dusk nobodies to fight off Lye and Roy to buy the two sometime to help their allies. As the two make it to Emilia's group, Subaru turns towards Rem to say,
