Dragon Dynasty vs the Organization, 2

Traveling in time and across dimensions is a dangerous thing. Nogard thought when she woke up. Especially when done together. That is...unless you're a dangerous thing yourself.

Nogard had actually spent a week so far in 1874 [1] on Earth attempting to track down a much younger Flannery--national newspapers had stated she had been invited to the White House. Sitting up, Nogard stretched. Putting her coat and hat on, she left her tent.

The night before,she had raided the camp of some bandits. The fight was so easy that Nogard did not even have to use an eighth of her physical strength or any of her magic abilities--her skin was naturally bullet resistant due to her draconic origins.

Snorting, a white horse came over and nuzzled Nogard. The horse was most puzzling to Nogard. Usually, domesticated animals fled in terror when they caught Nogard's scent--yet this one was attracted to her. Surprisingly, during last night's raid, it had managed to avoid getting shot though Nogard was fairly certain that it had taken a few bullets to the chest and head.

"Yeah yeah, MSL [2]," Nogard said, pushing the horse's head away. "I know. Although, how you know baffles me."

The thing that had woken Nogard up was she had sensed a portal very similar to what Xangord used when she wanted to flit around without walking too far or flying on the other side of the hill from the bandit camp. Rather than going to the intruders, Nogard sat down and began making bacon, eggs, toast, and coffee. [3]

Within a few seconds, three figures stood at the top of the hill. [4] After staring at Nogard and MSL for several minutes, they began to descend the hill.

MSL snorted and stomped his foot. Appearing unconcerned, Nogard said, "The big one looks tough so I'll take him. The other two seem rather weak so I'll leave them to you."

"Excuse us," Larxene said. "Have you seen anything unusual around here?"

"Besides you three?" Nogard asked. "You'll have to be more specific."

Luxord grinned. "Unusual creatures with unusual powers?"

"Well Meat Sack Lunch here is rather unusual," Nogard said, focusing on cooking her breakfast. Holding a hand out to her side with the palm up, Nogard created a fireball and looked at the three. "Then again, so am I."

"So we've found our two Heartless," Luxord said.

Nogard laughed. "Heartless. Well it's been a long time since someone's called me that." Looking at MSL, she said, "You're a Heartless? You make a bit more sense now, though why you're here, of all places, is beyond me."

Luxord said, "As our keyblade wielder is recovering from injuries from a blue dragon--"

Nogard finally turned to face the three. Tipping her head back, she said, "Blue dragon? Does she look a bit like me when in human form?"

"Xangord!" Larxene said.

"No, she has gray hair," Lexaeus said. "This one has red."

"Xangord and the blue dragon you mentioned are my older sisters," Nogard said. "We're triplets of a sort. Dragon's the Somebody, I'm the Heartless, and Xangord's the Nobody. Despite our differences, we seem to get along rather well--but I am under pain of permanent death if I don't, so..." Seeing that the three had summoned their weapons, Nogard said, "Really? You three want to take on a red dragon and a Heartless Horse?"

Without waiting for a response, the three surged forward. Getting to her feet, Nogard grabbed the red hot pan off the fire--protected from the heat by her inner fire--and flung it at her attackers. Rolling across the ground, Nogard gathered up her revolvers and opened fire. Meanwhile, MSL was rearing and attempting to kick Luxord with either his front or back hooves.

The three attackers were mildly surprised at the ferocity of the attacks from both the horse and Nogard--but were caught off guard when Nogard exchanged her empty guns for a pair of billyclubs. The fight was over in a few seconds with Larxene, Luxord, and Lexaeus running away through a portal.

"Weaklings!" Nogard said. Looking around, she saw that MSL had been beheaded and his body was just disappearing. "Well damn. I was going to have him for lunch one of these days!"

Picking up her hat and dusting it off, Nogard spotted a rather familiar looking emblem and thought, Hell. Better go back and check in with Xangord and Dragon to find out what the hell is going on. Thought these Organization idiots were dead.
