Freedom from Fate

Sora kept reading the list again and again. Not knowing what to get first.

Then he finally said, "OK, since I don't know how to get a nobody without dying, have no idea what witchweed is, and not enough magic to take down a whole army, we'll do the human versions of you guys first."

"It says that the human versions of ponies live in a place called the Eoforhild Republic," Twilight started, "I've heard that it's all based on politics and military and that kind of stuff. It's awful."

"Sounds like it, so I'll stay here." Fluttershy stated.

"Oh.. NO." Rainbow Dash growled, "You're coming too Fluttershy. Don't you wanna meet your human self?"

"Well, yes but..."

"THEN C'MON!"

Twilight set up a portal and everyone walked into it (except for Fluttershy, she was dragged by Rainbow).

"Let's go meet some humans!" Pinkie Pie shouted.

HIJKLMNOP

Two er, things were in the Equestria-famous Bindweed Hotel and Casino in Las Pegasus.

"Celestia and Luna have been doing good raising the sun and moon, yes?" A bartender asked the male.

"Indeed." The guy nodded.

"So what can I get you two?" The bartender asked both of the things. "I'm Hot Money, and I'll be your server."

"I'll take a Witchweed Douser." The woman said, "And you, Xehanort?"

"I'll take an Anti-Heartless, but no lime. And put the drinks on my tab."

"Are you sure you wanna pay for this?" The woman asked Xehanort.

"Positive Catrina." Xehanort replied.

"Well sir, they'll be right out." Hot Money started making the drinks.

"Catrina," Xehanort started, "We're in a famous casino. I'm a nobody, you're a cat-like person. We can work this out only if you listen to me."

"And why should I?" Catrina questioned.

"Because I'm OLDER THAN YOU!" Xehanort shouted.

"No, I'm older than you. I was banished from Equestria for 2,026 YEARS!"

"But I LOOK older than you!"

"But I AM older than you!"

"LOOK!"

"AM!"

"LOOK!"

"AM!"

"LOOK!"

"AM!"

"LOOK!"

"Um..." Catrina pointed to the other side of the room. Everypony was staring at them. Even the Platinum Club gamblers stopped to look.

"Uh, heh heh, just a tiny argument. No matter." Xehanort flashed a fake smile.

As everypony got back to what they were doing, Catrina turned to Xehanort,

"We shouldn't do stuff like that again." she whispered.

"I know, we have to be careful." Xehanort replied.

"Your drinks are ready!" Hot Money gave Catrina a bubbly purple drink and Xehanort a flaming-hot red one.

"You two enjoy." H.M left to deal with another customer.

"We'll need money, let's go join a poker game." Xehanort said.

"Deal." Catrina and Xehanort left the bar with their drinks in hand.

QRS

At the end of Twilight's portal, there was an urban version of Ponyville, except it was more "higher" and filled with humans. The building right across where Sora, Twilight, and their friends ended up had an emblem painted on it saying:

DISTRICT 2/50

EOFORHILD REPUBLIC

Τάνυση. Πόλεμο. Νίκη

LONG LIVE THE GREAT LEADER:

THIJS SIEMEN FRED

"Told you this place was all about politics." Twilight said.

"Now, to find the human versions of you guys." Riku thought for a moment, "I know! So-called-in-Ponyville 'Sugarcube Square'!"

"Sugarcube Corner." Pinkie corrected, "Follow me!"

Everyone followed Pinkie as she bounced to where Sugarcube Corner was supposed to be.

When the nine got there, there was the bakery, but it was all boarded up and rotting.

"I don't believe it! What happened?" Pinkie asked to mainly no one.

"Hey, look at this," Kairi saw a little slip of paper:

THIS BUSINESS (SWEET TOOTH BAKERY) HAS BEEN CLOSED DOWN DO TO THE OWNERS VIOLATING CODE 6 ACT 3. PLEASE GO AWAY NOW SINCE WE'VE EXPLAINED.

"Let's go inside." Rainbow said.

"But it's closed." Fluttershy whimpered a bit.

"But what if our human selves are inside?"

"Why would I enter that building?"

"C'mon, let's enter." and Rainbow (once again dragging Fluttershy) and the others headed inside the closed bakery.

Inside, there were three teenage girls talking to each other.

"But Roxanne, using that flying machine to head to Octos is dangerous. What if we get caught?" A petite girl asked the one with brown hair.

"I keep telling you Fiona: Once I install the invisibility device inside, we can go there without a trace." The one called Roxanne replied.

"But I always thought that Octos had special cameras that could see invisible things." The gray-eyed girl commented.

"Tina, that's just a rumor. There is no camera that can see invisible things." Roxanne shook her head.

Fiona screamed, "INTRUDERS!" She pointed to Sora and the others.

Roxanne picked up a knife, "Who are you and what do you-" The stopped and looked at the ponies.

"It can't be." Tina said.

"Are you six..." Fiona started, "...are our pony selves?"

"They are." Kairi replied, "Sora, Riku, and I aren't, but-"

"We've been waiting for quite some time now to meet our pony selves," Roxanne said, "we learned that the only easy way to take down the Eoforhild Republic is to meet them.

"Hey Fiona, can you bring the others here? Tell them I need to talk with 'em about something."

"Roger that." And Fiona left the abandoned bakery.

Roxanne turned to the others, "I'm Roxanne Dryers," She told them, "the leader of the Eoforhild Rebels and the awesome girl in the group."

"Well, finding my human was easy." Rainbow commented, then galloped to Roxanne.

"Wait," Twilight started, "Rainbow Dash, Roxanne Dryers, they start with the same letters. That means..."

"Fiona is my human form." Fluttershy commented.

"And Tina is mine.." Twilight finished.

"I'm back!" Fiona walked back in with three other girls. One had blonde hair, another had makeup on, and the last one had blue hair matching her eyes.

"Jackie, Rhea, Patty, meet our pony selves." Tina introduced.

"Well, that was even easier!" Applejack said, then galloped to the blonde-haired one.

"Wow, I didn't know my human self could have wacky hair too!" Pinkie exclaimed then trotted to the blue-eyed girl.

"Well, since the matching names, I know my human self." Rarity gracefully galloped to the girl with makeup on.

"Well, that leaves me with Fiona." Fluttershy walked slowly to Fiona.

"Hey, what about us?" Riku asked.

"Follow anyone. You all are humans, so you get to choose." Roxanne replied.

"I don't know about you two, but..." Kairi started, than walked to join Tina and Twilight.

"Errr..." Sora headed over to Roxanne and Rainbow.

"Wow, who should I join?" Riku asked himself, than ran to Jackie and Applejack.

"Catrina, do you have any idea how to play poker?" Xehanort, slightly annoyed, asked Catrina.

"Uh, no. But I am good at making Witchweed er, food and beverage. Let's do that instead." Catrina replied.

"Well, you lost all your chips and I got 41,700 munny," Xehanort started.

"And by what you told me before, that's 417 US currency," Catrina added.

"So we can buy two tickets to head to Canterlot,"

"Which will take three days!" Catrina finished.

"C'mon, to the station!" Xehanort said.

"Well, here's my room." Roxanne was giving Sora and Rainbow a tour of her house.

"Wow..." Sora commented.

And wow indeed. Besides stuff a regular teen has in her room (Dresser, Laptop w/ desk, Bed, etc.), there were posters all around with phrases like, "IT'S TIME FOR A NEW REPUBLIC!" and "DOWN WITH DICTATOR SIEMEN FRED!"

And across from the laptop desk, there was another desk with a long sheet of paper with sections and a circle in the center.

"That across my laptop," Roxanne started, "is the map of the Eoforhild Republic."

Sora and Rainbow walked toward it while Roxanne followed.

Rainbow pointed to the circle, "Isn't that where your capital should be?" She asked.

"Yes, and it is Rainbow," Roxanne replied, "that is Octos, 'The city of Barons' that's where Tina came from by Tija Cassandra's orders."

"Why? Was it serious?" Sora questioned.

"Well, it's a long story." Roxanne fidgeted a bit.

"What? Is it bad? What happened to Tina that caused the 'Tija' to come to 'District 2'?" Rainbow replied.

"To understand that," Roxanne paused, "I must tell you two a story."

"About what?" Sora said.

"About how the Eoforhild Republic was formed." Roxanne told the two.
