The Amazing Adventures of Terra

Chapter 10: The Devil is in the Details

Pennywise laughed and threw Ventus into the cage.

A woman walked into a bar. She pushed through the doors to see a man there. His name was Isaacs. He had blond hair, and a suit fashionable for a night like this.

"What do you want, Marissa?" He asked.

"Erik Heller's still alive."

"Of course."

"And the girl."

"Ah. Why are you here? Be concise."

"I need you."

"You need me? Little old me? I'm very flattered."

"I need your talents, darling. I need you to do things that my agency will not let me do."

Issacs laughed. "The devil is in the details, isn't he?" She passed him an envelope. "It's the girl, not Erik." He said.

"She's in Morocco. It's all in the envelope. Let me worry about Erik."

Issacs leaned forward. "Shall I kill her?"

Marissa smiled. "Just find her." She pecked his cheek and got up to leave.

"Marissa." Issacs called. Marissa turned around. "Did you turn out as you hoped?" She shook her head. "Better."

The trio found themselves in the forest. "How will we possibly find Ven here?" Terra asked, throwing sticks across the snow. "This map shows the way. According to the map, this leads to a city in Morocco which Ven mu-"

Aqua was interrupted by a sound. "Guys... do you hear that?"

"You're dead. I've killed you. Right here." A scream was heard.

"Looks like we've got trouble!" Hartman said. And the 3 ran towards the sound.

They came across a man and a blond girl, fighting. Seargant Hartman got out his rifle. "All right, hands up! What's going on? I want an explanation." The girl got off the man and put her hands up.

"Hanna, it's alright." The man said. "A simple misunderstanding, sir. My name is Erik Heller. I was training my daughter as an undercover agent, or spy, if you will. We're not actually fighting. It's fine."

Seargant Hartman put his gun back. "Alright. I am Gunnery Seargant Hartman, and this is Private Terra, and his friend, Aqua. We are on a mission to find Ventus. He's a boy, around 12 years old with spiky hair. We think a woman by the name of Marissa Wiegler took him."

Erik's eyes grew wide. "Marissa wants to kill us. That's exactly who I was training Hanna to defend herself against."

"Father, I'm ready, you know."

"Well, I suppose we could work together." Terra and Aqua nodded. "Let's go." they said.

They traveled to the city for a while, and soon found a Taco Bell near them. "You know what this reminds me of?" Terra said. "Tacos?" Hartman guessed. "And Xehanort. You hungry?"

They all agreed and went in. Terra actually ate real tacos this time! But when they walked out, Hanna pointed to the car in front of them. Issacs and his gang.

"Floor it." He ordered. "Run!" Erik yelled. So they ran.
