Perhaps piloting her glider into deep space wasn’t the smartest idea.
It had started as a test. A race, even, to see if her keyblade glider could stand up to the likes of the Gummi Ships that Sora, Riku, and Mickey all seemed fond of. In hindsight, she realized exactly why those massive ships of interconnecting Lego-like blocks had their benefits. The first one had to be the inclusion of a cockpit. Which she didn’t have on her glider. She just kinda. Stood there. Rode that thing like a ‘waverunner’, or whatever Kairi had called it when she showed the red head the trick just a few days ago.
And that’s how Aqua ended up floating around in God Knows Where, Space. Well. She did accidentally drive into an asteroid and crash so hard she lost consciousness, but that’s beside the point. All she knew was she had a slim idea of where she was, and then she didn’t. When she woke up, all she could see was vast emptiness, not even the blue rocks she had crashed into were present. So wherever she was, it was most likely far off course of the known worlds.
It was certainly nowhere she recognized.
Letting out a low groan, she applied a weak Cure to herself to help stem the pain and glanced around her. Her glider must’ve destabilized when she crashed, but she could just summon that back as a keyblade. At least her armor stayed on. Unlike her old set, this one took on the same silver coloring as her new keyblade. It even had these fancy designs on its seems that looked a bit like fire or lightning. Hmm... did it have the same elemental qualities of her weapon? If she had time later, perhaps it could be worth studying.
“Where am I...?” she managed to mumble, her voice muffled by the visor covering her face. Which thankfully activated, pulling up a map of the area. She had been smart and worked with the others to devise a program that would let her download some of the apps on her Gummi Phone to her armor’s visor. Speaking of which. Where had she put that thing?
Shit. She left it in the cup holder of her glider, didn’t she? Damn.
She probably lost the phone on impact.
Of course. Right when I escape that place, I end up somewhere else new, dark and friendless. At least she hadn’t nearly killed her best friend this time around.
And hey, plus side. She wouldn’t be getting any requests to play Words With Friends with Donald. She had only loaded the necessities to her visor. Like the seven ‘gatcha’ games she owned. And a gps and a few other things, of course. Which were, thankfully, enough to point her toward the only world she could feasibly see within the area. And, as exhausted as she was, it as probably the best place for her to go.
Even if the gps itself had no idea what she would find there.
This world, she had to admit, looked very pretty at night. She had ended up in some sort of woodland area outside of what appeared to be a sprawling town, but the walk through her landing site to her current location had taken a lot out of her. If she had to guess, she was either too weak from the crash or this planet was somehow heavier. Either were a definite possibility.
“...Many worlds, but they all share the same stars...” She had heard that phrase uttered to her once or twice when she was young, and looking at the twinkling sky had reminded her of it. Were these stars the same as those over her homeworld? Since Sariel had given her that album, she had wanted to find it again. This trip, this race out in deep space... It wasn’t just for that, no matter what she had told herself. It was a fool’s errand, she realized. Trying to find a world that was consumed. But she had to. Something in her told her that her home as still out there, somewhere.
“I’ll find it... one day...” she whispered to herself, an everlasting promise, just crossing into the town with heavy steps. “Just let me...nap... firssssss.”
Welp. So much for first impressions.
