Taking The Throne (Katamari Fanfic)

Going Away

"GAHHH!!!! NO!!!! WHOA!!!" Yelped Prince as Ryu swiped his katana across his body without even touching him. Kuro held Prince in place making sure he won't back off or run away. Ryu and Kuro were trying to make Prince brave so he'll stop worrying about his father's punishes. "Stop squirming Prince! Get over your fear!" Ordered Kuro. Prince looked at him with a sarcastic look. "Stop squirming?! How can I stop squirming when Ryu is slashing his sword on me?!" Asked Prince. Ryu stopped and looked at Prince. "Remember that time when you failed to make Mars?" He asked.

(Flashback)
"One minute remaining!" The king reminded. Prince began to hurry. He wasn't even close to being done. The katamari he was rolling became heavier then ever. Prince stopped the katamari to take breather as he whipped the sweat off his face. He then looked at the time. 30 seconds!, he thought. He quickly started rolling again and rolled up some more drinks. Orange juice! Water! Milk! Yes!, he thought to himself. Prince looked at the time again and.... "TIME'S UP! And the katamari is...."
The king looked at the katamari then looked at Prince with a angry look. "20cm...." he growled. Prince gulped and started to shake with fear. "20cm? Is it like that thing..... That thing.... WE CAN'T STAND?" The king growled again. Prince looked down at the floor hoping he would forget why he's here. The king growled again, "Failure..... Sorrow.... Shame.". Prince drooped. "Put that silly ball down and get over here!". (Sorry if this is wrong, I can't remember what the king says)
(End of flashback)

"And guess who won a ticket to the King's pool table?" Mocked Ryu. Prince rolled his eyes. "Yeah yeah. I got rolled up a hundred times by Father's katamaris." He said. Kuro smirked, "Yeah, and after that you hid in your closet for two whole days." He reminded. "And Johnson had to poke you out of there." Added Ryu. Prince rolled his eyes again. "OKAY OKAY! Forget about it! Let's keep going." He ordered. Kuro once again held Prince in place as Ryu got his katana ready. Prince closed his eyes tight as Ryu prepared to fake slice him. "PRINCE!!" yelled the King. "See ya!" Prince said quickly as his got out of Kuro's grip and ran to the King's palace.

Prince ran to the King so fast he slipped and fell on the floor. The King gave him with a questionable look. Prince quickly got up and ignored the pain. He quickly bowed to his father pretending that never happened. "What do you need?" He asked politely. The King shrugged his shoulders and started to talk. "Prince, do you know about your future?". Prince rolled his eyes, Great not this again, He thought. "Yes." He said carelessly. "Anyone you see that you find..... ya know.... Interesting?". The King asked. Prince thought for a minute. "No?" He answered, "I mean they're all nice, but I'm interested in any of them." He murmured under his breath. His father looked at him with a mysterious look, but continued talking. "Well, the queen and I have been talking, and we think you're ready.". Prince gulped in fear. "For what?" He asked. "We think you're ready to become King of the Cosmos." The King finished. Prince jaw dropped. He couldn't believe it! He knew nothing about being king! Why would his parents think he was ready?! "B-But why think that?! I-I don't think I'm ready! I-I know nothing about-" "SILENCE!" The King cut him off, "We are testing you, if you fail, you won't be king, if you pass, you will take my place." He said. Prince looked at him coufused. "How will you test me? A piece of paper? Memory? What?" He asked. The King shook his head. "No. Your mother and I will go away for three days. By that time, you will be king. We leave tomorrow. I will leave a note for you." Instructed the King. Prince started to sweat with fear. Am I really ready?, he thought.
