Title ; The Lion and the Fairy.
Disclaimer ; I do not own Kingdom Hearts, last time I checked anyways.
Summary ; Something's revived the heartless and Radiant Garden has fallen, but two still stand against the darkness, with Sora seemingly gone what hope do they have.
Note ; Going with a popular idea in kingdom hearts fanfics I'll be constructing pasts for all the FF characters in Radiant Garden, so they they'll have grown up together, of course I won't fundamentally change their situations, Leon and Cloud will be orphans ect.
Chapter 2 ; Welcome to the Jungle !
Yuna sat on top of Leon's shoulder as he looked out the window of the small gummi ship they were on, the ship was on autopilot, he had said they were going to Destiny Isles, though it had seemed like he was hiding something to Yuna.
"So are we going to see Sora then ?" Yuna asked, it was obviously the reason but Yuna asked anyway in hopes of starting a conversation.
"Yes, I have to talk to him." Replied Leon without shifting his attention from the gummi's window.
"What about ?" Yuna asked beginning to dance in her boredom, on Leon's shoulder.
"Stuff, and why are you dancing ?" asked Leon somewhat irritated at the little fairy.
"I'm bored, and it's fun." Answered Yuna, hopping onto his head and continuing her dance there, Leon was not amused.
"Well if you're bored, why don't you go get fu-" Leon was cut off by a beeping noise from the machine in front of him.
"Shit !" cursed Leon noticing what was wrong.
"What's Up ?" asked Yuna, she had stopped her dancing and was now sitting Indian style on Leon's head.
"We're low on fuel, I'm going to have to land on the nearest planet." Answered Leon hitting some keys at the computer screen and taking the ship off autopilot, he took the wheel.
"Will they have treasure ?" asked Yuna pulling on Leon's hair to his attention, much to Leon's dismay.
"Maybe, hn is it me ? Do I attract kleptomaniacs or something, it's not like I have a lot of money either." Answered Leon before muttering some complaints under his breath.
xXxXx
The landing could have been smoother, a lot smoother actually, as it was their ship was currently sticking out of a giant tree house in a forest, which seemed to cover the entire planet. Leon and Yuna were currently inside said tree house, inspecting the damage's.
"It doesn't look too bad." Stated Yuna with a grimace, it actually did look quite bad.
"Too bad, yea right !" replied Leon turning from the wreckage and letting his eyes roam over the tree house searching for anything suspicious, he found it too, a sabre tooth tiger stalking toward an unsuspecting Yuna.
"Yuna fly up to the roof, Now !" shouted Leon as he rushed to intercept the Tiger.
"Wha ?" asked Yuna turning to see Leon run toward her, she failed to notice the sabre tooth tiger though.
As the beast pounced to catch it's prey, Leon managed to tackle it mid-pounce and save his fairy friend, now he just had to save himself and everything would be grand, the tiger had other plans though as it managed to sink it's claws into Leon's left arm.
Breaking away from attempting to pin the beast Leon drew his blade from his belt and aimed a slash at the beast, it managed to jump back to safety though, Leon and the tiger made eye contact and began to circle each other.
"Leon behind you !" Yuna called out seeing a figure approaching Leon's unguarded back from her position in the air.
"Shit !" Leon cursed, spinning he managed to block the strike of a spear from a crazed looking jungle man with his blade, he noticed the man had a heartless insignia on his chest, before he pushed foreword changing the angle of the sword and creating the opening he needed.
Leon quickly bashed the jungle man in the face with the hilt of his sword, before spinning and slashing in a warning ark to keep the approaching tiger at bay.
"Yuna ! It's time to go !" called Leon backing away from his two opponents with his blade held up at the ready.
Yuna quickly landed on Leon's shoulder which he gestured to with a nod of his head.
"Hold on tight." Ordered Leon before he quickly turned and began sprinting out of the tree house, the jungle man and tiger following closely.
Seeing the edge of the tree house Leon threw caution to the wind and jumped over the edge, he landed on some kind of net but didn't pass it much heed and kept moving, hopefully escaping his pursers.
"Still following ?" it wasn't the best phrased question, but Yuna understood it anyway.
"Only the monkey man." Yuna answered keeping a good grip on Leon's jacket as she turned to look behind them.
Leon gave a slight nod as they entered the jungle, Leon hoped that all the natural cover would help him escape his follower, no such luck.
Leon then came across a hollowed out tree trunk that seemed to bottomless, Leon wasted no time in testing this theory, he found himself sliding along a giant tree branch, to god knows where.
"He's gaining on us, Leon !" warned Yuna giving Leon time to turn and block an attack from the jungle man, he struck several more times all of which Leon managed to block before they locked weapons in a stalemate.
"Leon, Duck !" Leon obeyed immediately allowing a large three branch to pass harmlessly over his head, the jungle man wasn't as lucky and was nailed by the tree branch, this caused him to lose his balance and fall from the tree.
Leon slid to the end of the tree branch, at the end of it they wound up in the centre of a small camp.
"Hello !" called out Yuna as she flew around to look for the campers.
"Hello, who's there ?" called a woman stepping out of the largest tent.
"I'm Yuna, and he's Leon." Introduced Yuna flying over to the woman as Leon calmly strode over the them, Yuna happily sitting on his shoulder when he got there.
"Oh, well I'm Jane, nice to meet you." The woman introduced herself with a bright smile.
"Nice to meet you too." Returned Yuna politely, Leon simply nodded.
"So what brings you here ?" asked Jane gesturing for them to enter the tent.
"We need fuel for our ship, um Leon, what do we need for fuel ?" answer Yuna to Jane before asking Leon her question.
"Some ether would do." Answered Leon stoically.
"Oh isn't that convenient, I just made some this morning." Said Jane earning a hopeful look from Yuna.
"Can we have it ?" asked Yuna hopefully.
"Sure, but can you do me a favour first ?" asked Jane.
"Sure, whatever !" answered the little fairy a bit to fast for Leon's liking.
"Well, there's a friend of mine, and recently he's been acting very strangely, it all started when he got a strange mark on his chest." Explained Jane, Leon could sense where this was going.
"You want us to help him." Asked Leon knowingly.
"Why yes, another man offered but I haven't seen him in a few hours, and I'm beginning to worry." Revealed Jane looking somewhat guilty.
"What's he look like ?" asked Leon, hopefully whoever this was wouldn't get in his way.
"You really wouldn't be able to miss him, he wore strange clothing, much like your own, he also had a surprisingly large sword and he had these amazing eyes that we-" described the woman before Leon cut her off.
"That should do." Stated Leon as he began to walk out of the tent.
"Leon, wait !" called Yuna rushing to his side.
"Yuna you should stay here, I'll handle this." Leon told his fairy accomplice.
"Okay, but at least let me bandage up that arm ?" asked Yuna as she attempted to drag Leon to a chair in the tent, Leon gave a snort and a small laugh at the fairy's antics.
"Whatever." Stated Leon taking a seat.
xXxXx
Okay chapter 2 is up, oh and I'm sorry RikkuMadara but I can't really tell you anything about the other's without wreaking the plot, but some will reappear, no worries there.
You'll have to excuse any in accuracy's, I haven't played part one in a while and don't exactly remember all the maps that well, so sue me.
