Chapter 35: Calm Before The Storm

*Y/n POV*

I was awoken by a startling thump, and then a cacophony of voices. They were outside my house, a large group of people somewhere on the ground below m window.

"...Out of here!"

"...but..."

"NO!"

"You can't...UGH!"

It sounded like something was slammed against the wall of my house, shaking the foundations of the building. Whatever it was, it must've been thrown pretty hard. I quickly turned my legs and stood up out of the bed, looking over to Chirithy who was standing on the bed next to me.

"Y/n?" He asked, looking up at me with worried eyes, "W-what's going on?"

"I-I don't know," I replied, "But I'm going to find out."

I stood up and quickly ran down the stairs, intent on finding out what was happening outside my door. It didn't take me long to run towards the door and kick it outwards, shattering the hinges and splintering the wood.

"What in the name of the masters is happening out here?!"

"Oh, M-master Y/n!" One of five large guys said, "Pardon our intrusion. We were just helping clear the street of trash like this."

 I took a look around the group, at the large guy's friends who each held their keyblades out. They were pointed at a young boy who was at most half their size. He was completely terrified, huddled into his own arms as his keyblade sat nearby.

I recognized the boy from one my classes, a struggling student for sure, but not without heart. He was a hard working keyblade wielder who was eager to go out there and fight. If I remembered correctly, he belonged to the Unicornus union.

"Trash, huh?"

I stepped past the large man and in between his friends. They all gave me shifty and confused glances, as I kneeled down and whispered to the boy.

"Are you okay?"

"Y-yes," He whispered back, "But these guys, they jumped me when I came to speak to you."

"It's alright," I assured, "Just let me handle them."

I slowly stood back up, dusting off my pijama pants as I turned around.

"Well gentlemen, I must thank you."

"Oh please," The guy to my far left said, "We were just doing our duty to protect the union's strongest member."

"I wasn't finished," I growled, "I must thank you, for showing me what true trash really looks like!"

"What?"

I quickly moved and kicked the keyblade out of the guy to my right's hand, sending it flying into the air. I then moved the sweep his feet out from under him, knocking him to the ground. The guy who was to my immediate left moved to strike back for his friend, only for me to duck his swing and move behind him.

I grabbed his shoulder and easily threw him off balance, clearly these were not students of mine. Their poise was all off and they had no sense of balance. I was easily able to use his weight against him, throwing him into the next guy in line.

That left only two, the leader and his last weakling. The leader pointed at me and growled, "Get him!"

The lackey charged at me and swung his keyblade at a diagonal. I merely stepped back and allowed him to swipe at nothing, before turning tail and running towards the nearby wall.

"Ha! I got him on the run!"

I ignored the comment, realizing that recompense would come soon. I jumped up and planted both feet against the wall, a white aura surrounding my body as my momentum built up in my body.

I slammed into the lackey and grabbed onto him, flipping to send him flying over his boss and into a trash can. He landed with a crash and his leader turned back to me, fear clearly plastered on his face.

Eclipse End appeared in my hand, pointed at the leader. The first guy's keyblade, which I had kicked into the air, landed in my other hand. I end Eclipse End at his neck and his friend's keyblade at his gut, holding him in place.

"Now let me make something clear," I growled, "If I ever see you harassing anyone again, or even hear about it, I will personally kill you all. Understood?"

"Y-yes sir!"

"Good. Now go."

He took off running, leave his injured comrades to sleep against the stones. I walked back over to the boy and kneeled down next to him, checking him over for wounds.

"Here," I said, tossing him a potion, "This should help with any pain you're feeling."

"T-thank you sir!" He said, jumping to his feet.

"Of course," I replied, "If those guys ever give you problems again, just come to me."

"Thank you so much!"

He took off running down the street, and I realized how quiet it was. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding as I heard steps coming towards me.

"So, you're Y/n, correct?"

I turned and looked at the source of the female voice, seeing a beautiful girl with bright blonde hair flowing in the wind. She shone in the light, and seemed like an angel.

"Who are you?"

"I am Strelitzia," She bowed, "Pleased to make your acquaintance."
