Song: I Am Moana/Song of the Ancestors


The gang were sailing across the ocean. They were close to Te Fiti, however, as they sailed the ocean. The atmosphere changed into a dark and black fog was covering their view. Moana and Keoni now knows how to sail and being wayfinders. They sailed the boat to their destination while the others do their own thing. Malie was sitting on the boat, feeling dizzy and was shivering nonstop. Aliikai was flying in the air while Makaio was in the water, splashing about. The two dragons were following the boat as they go. Pōkole was sitting on the edge of the boat, holding a mini fishing rod, as he tries and catch some fishes to eat. Heihei was under the boat's storage box. And Maui was on top of mast as he looks through the horizon, searching for the island of Te Fiti.

"Next stop, Te Fiti." Maui said to the others as he looked up ahead before looking down to see the two humans working on the ropes. They're doing great in their wayfinding and they hope that their people can too. The duo then looked up to see Maui smiling at them for no reason, which disturbed Keoni.

"What?" Moana asked playfully.

"I figured it out." Maui said.

"That your smile creeps people out?" Keoni asked, earning a blank look Maui.

"Ah, no." Maui said as he gets down from the mast. "You know the ocean used to loved when I pull up islands." He explains as Mini Maui shows them what he means by doing the scenes.

"'Cause your ancestors would sail her seas and find 'em. All those new lands, new villages. It was the water that connected 'em all. And if I were the ocean, I think I'd be looking for, a curly-haired non-princess and a not a prince charming with their dragons to start that again."

Moana and Keoni stared at him in surprise, the others were surprise to hear that as well except for Heihei, he was still below deck. They guess that Keoni's speech did the trick to straighten Maui up to be his heroic self again.

"That is literally the nicest thing you've ever said to us." Moana said with a smile.

"Yeah, too nice for your taste, Maui." Keoni said as he smirks at the playful look Maui gave him.

Moana giggles. "Yeah, probably should've saved that for Te Fiti." She said.

"I did." Maui said with a smile.

Then they heard Malie let out a wail of anguish that almost shattered their ears, but they were lucky to cover their ears on time. They quickly turn to the mermaid when she stops her wail. They saw Malie hugging herself with her arms and her head was down. The quickly went to her as her body shakes uncontrollably.

"Malie, what's wrong?" Moana asked worriedly.

Malie slowly brings her head up and they saw black eyebags. She looked so weak. "I…I c-can't g-go further." Malie stuttered in a quiet tone. "W-We a-are t-too close to-to Te Kā."

"Why? What happens if you get too close to Te Kā?" Moana asked her friend.

"Mermaids grow weak around dark forces." Maui explains, remembering the mermaid's weaknesses. "Malie will get worst if she goes too near Te Kā's reach. "

Moana looks at him and to Malie worriedly. The poor mermaid was growing weaker and weaker. Malie doesn't look good to come with them in facing Te Kā. She must go far from the dark force to be safe and out of danger.

"Malie, swim as far away as you can, away from Te Kā's reach." Moana ordered gently. "You'll get worst if you go any closer. Aliikai will send up a fire signal to call you back, right Aliikai?" Moana asked her Night Fury beside her, earning a nod from the dragon.

Malie looked up at them weakly, as if she tries to decline the offer, but the others insisted that she needs to be far away from Te Kā. Otherwise, she will get herself in a worst possible situation. So, without a choice, Malie nodded her head and carefully jumps in the water. She turns to them and gave a weak wave.

"Best of luck." She whispers to them as she dives in the water before swimming to a safe distance.

"Be safe Malie." Moana whispers, watching Malie swimming away.

Keoni placed his hand on Moana's shoulder to comfort her. "She'll be fine, Moana, it's for the best." He said.

Moana looks at him and smiled as they turn towards Maui, who smiling at them. He then gestured him arms towards a distance. The two friends and their dragons looked up ahead and saw through the dark fog what appears to be an island in a distance.

"Moana and Keoni of Motunui. I believe, you and your dragons have officially delivered Maui across the great sea." Maui said as he hovered his arm next to the two humans as Mini Maui with human tattoos were cheering while Maui whispers the cheers.

"Moana! Keoni! Moana! Keoni! Moana! Keoni! You two are so amazing!" Keoni and Moana rolled their eyes at him while Moana lets out a giggle. Maui moves away from them a bit and outstretched his hand.

"It's time." He said.

Moana and Keoni looked at him before understanding what he meant. Moana removed the Heart of Te Fiti from her necklace and gives it to Maui. Maui holds on to the heart and then they saw something up ahead. They saw lava coming from the island. Maui grabs his hook and prepared himself. Moana prepared the sail as Keoni adjusted the tiller. They looked at Maui and nodded.

"Go save the world." Moana said to Maui.

Maui nodded with a smile before he jumps and yells 'Cheeeehooo!' and turns into a giant hawk. He flies towards the island in full speed. Pōkole climbs on Keoni and sits on his shoulder to watch the event. Makaio swims beside the boat near Keoni while Aliikai stayed close to Moana as they all watched the battle up-fold. Smoke appeared with purple electrical sparks, and then a fireball appeared, and it almost hit Maui, who dodged it on time. Maui was about to go over the black smoke, when suddenly, a figure appeared from the smoke, it was Te Kā!

"LOOK OUT!" Keoni yelled to Maui.

Maui heard him and quickly dodges Te Kā. The fire demon threw a fireball at him. Luckily, Maui dodges and was about to go around her until Te Kā whacks him off the sky. Maui turns back to his human form and fall on the water with his hook and the heart.

"MAUI!" Moana yelled as she sailed after him.

Maui was underwater as he quickly grabs the heart and his hook before turning into a shark and swims away quickly while avoiding Te Kā's attack. He turns to a fish and grabs the heart with his mouth and swims back to the others. Te Kā saw the boat and fires a fireball at them, but Aliikai blasted it with her plasma blast to block it. Moana watched as Te Kā accidentally slipped her hand in the water, causing her to feel pain when her flame was extinguished. Te Kā quickly withdraw her hand away from the water and glared at the boat. When Maui came back to the boat, Moana sails the boat to an opening near Te Kā. Keoni and Maui were shock as they tried to stop Moana, but she didn't want to. Maui tells her to turn around, but Moana didn't listen. As they argued, they were close to Te Kā. The evil demon lifted her arm and was about to smash them when Maui lifted his hook to block attack that created a huge explosion.

And everything went black.


Darkness

Darkness was the only thing Keoni could see. He felt his whole-body ache in pain, he couldn't move, but he could feel something pocking him on his face. Groaning in pain, Keoni slowly opens his eyes, it was blurry at first, but after he adjusted his eyes, he could see Pōkole looking at him as he continuous pocking Keoni's face.

"P-P-Pōkole?" Keoni mutters out weakly.

Pōkole heard him and lifted his arms up and made a small cheer. Makaio's head was soon on Keoni's face before giving him a slobbery lick. Keoni groans in disgust as he slowly lifted himself up. A flash of pain entered his body and face. He yells in pain as he clutches himself tight from the pain. He then placed a hand on his face and felt a scar on his right. It felt it ran through it instead of blinding him.

But it hurt, a lot.

"Keoni!"

Keoni lifted his head up when he saw Moana coming to him. He could see tears coming from her eyes as she hugs her best friend. Keoni winced in pain but he ignored it as Moana cries on him. He looks at her in concern, wondering what happened, before slowly and carefully hugs her back, calming her down. Keoni lifted his head up and saw Aliikai there, rumbling with worry. She wasn't hurt, thank goodness before he notices someone was missing.

Maui wasn't here.

"W-Where's Maui?" Keoni said in raspy tone. That made Moana cried even harder and Aliikai turned away with anger. Keoni didn't understand why as he tries to calm down his childhood friend. "Moana?"

"He left, Keoni." Moana sniffs. "He left us, h-his hook was cracked…a-and one more hit…"

Keoni hugged his friend tightly. So, the Demigod abandon them all because his hook was cracked, and he couldn't take another hit. That coward! Keoni should've kick him harder on his face for what he did.

"He was right. The Ocean choose wrong…we can't save our island." Moan whispers.

Keoni heard this and removes himself from the hug and holds her shoulders. "Moana, listen to yourself! You're giving up over that!" Keoni said, looking at Moana's eyes.

"But Maui-"

"-Maui is a coward! He left us on our own because he cares nothing but himself! We can do this together, Moana…like we did as kids."

That's right, Moana and Keoni work together with Aliikai back when they were young. They helped each other out, talk about their days, and would just spend their time relaxing. Together they are strong, no matter how hard the situation is, they always pull through. Before Moana could speak, they saw a blue glow from the water. Looking at the ocean, they saw a glowing giant manta-ray swimming towards them, it swims under the boat, leaving trails of glowing lights behind.

"You're a longways past the reef."

They all jumped in surprise and quickly turned around to see Tala's spirit at end of the boat. She came to help her granddaughters and their friends on their journey. Tala's spirit was smiling at them gently as they stared at her in shock and amazement.

"Gramma?" Moana whispers out, still can't believe what she was seeing.

"Guess I chose the right tattoo." Tala said with a smile, gesturing her back where her tattoo is.

"Gramma!" Moana cried as she quickly gets up and went to her grandmother. The two embraced each other, Tala's spirit form allows her to feel her granddaughter's touch and embrace. Aliikai soon came and Tala gently stroke her snout, earning croons from Aliikai.

"We tried, Gramma." Maona sniffed. "We…We couldn't do it." Moana said as she looks at her grandmother sadly, lowering her head.

Tala lifts Moana's chin to bring her face up. "It's not your fault. I never should have put so much on your shoulders. If you are ready to go home." Tala gently wipes Moana's tears away. "I will be with you."

Moana holds her grandmother's spiritual hands for a while before she stands up and walked to the other side. She grabs her oar and was about to put in the water until she stops, preventing it from touching the water. She couldn't move for some reason. The others watched worriedly as Tala looks at her granddaughter.

"Why do you hesitate?" Tala asked softly.

"I don't know." Moana confessed, feeling confused and frustrated at the same time. Gramma Tala sighs as she slowly stands up, her granddaughter was feeling stress and confused at the same time, not knowing what to do. And she needed comfort.

I know a girl from an island
She stands apart from the crowd
She loves the sea and her people
She makes her whole family proud

Tala walked over to Moana, passing Keoni, Aliikai, and Pōkole as she went over to Moana and caresses her cheek with her spiritual hand. Tala moves away and touches the mast's sail with a cut on it. Tala gestured the stars above and they all look up, seeing the stars above.

Sometimes the world seems against you
The journey may leave a scar
But scars can heal and reveal just
Where you are

Tala and Moana were standing together with Keoni, who has Pōkole on his shoulder. Tala holds Moana's hands with hers as she comforts and encourages her. Aliikai and Makaio were watching them from the sidelines, knowing that Tala can help them solve their problem.

The people you love will change you
The things you have learned will guide you
And nothing on Earth can silence
The quiet voice still inside you
And when that voice starts to whisper
Moana, you've come so far
Moana, listen
Do you know who you are?

"Who am I?" Moana whispers to herself before walking towards the edge of the boat and looked at her reflection. Aliikai went towards her sister and croons at her gently, earning a gentle pat from Moana as they both look at their reflection.

I am the girl who loves my island
I'm the girl who loves the sea
It calls me

I am the daughter of the village chief
We are descended from voyagers
Who found their way across the world

They call me…

Then spiritual boats came out of nowhere. They recognize the boats as they belong to their ancestors from long ago. And standing tall and proud was the Great Matai Vasa. He looks at Moana and Aliikai with pride. He could tell that Moana and Aliikai wanted to continue their old way, to be Wayfinders as well as Keoni. Matai Vasa then holds the necklace that was pass down to generations. Moana saw this and holds the necklace on her. She and Aliikai nodded at Matai Vasa. The first great chief nodded back at them before pulling the sail, making the boat go faster.

I've delivered us to where we are
I have journeyed farther
I am everything I've learned and more
Still it calls me

And the call isn't out there at all
It's inside me!

Moana watched as the spiritual boats sailed past her and her friends, who were watching in shock. Moana then climbs on her mast as she watched the boats sailed by. She then jumps down and pressed her forehead with Tala's. She then went over to Keoni and hugs him, and he hugs her back. They let go as Moana made her to her dragon sister before she strokes Aliikai's face gently, earning happy purrs from her dragon. Moana and Aliikai went to the edge of the boat with pride and happiness.

It's like the tide, always falling and rising
I will carry you here in my heart
You remind me
That come what may, I know the way!

Moana stands on the edge of the boat and yelled out: I am Moana!

And with that said, Moana and Aliikai jumped in the water, creating a big splash. The two sisters dived deep towards the water and saw the Heart of Te Fiti was on the sand. Moana quickly grabs it and was about to surface until she felt someone holding her hand. Looking up, she saw Malie was the one holding her hand. The mermaid smiled at Moana gently and Moana smiles back, happy that Malie returned to help them. Malie helps Moana up to the surface quickly with Aliikai following from behind. As they resurface, Moana holds up the Heart, but saw Tala and the other spiritual ancestors were gone. Keoni quickly made his way to them as he helps Moana up to the boat. Aliikai jumps off the water and shake herself dry before helping Malie up and allowing the mermaid to sit on the boat.

"What now?" Keoni asked.

Moana looks at them seriously before looking at the cut sail. As the next chieftest, Moana knows what to do. So, grabbing a needle inside a basket, Moana looks at the sail again before looking at her friends. They nodded at her, silently saying that they are with her. Smiling, Moana and Keoni worked together to fix the boat along with Aliikai and Makaio. Moana sows the sail back together and helped Keoni to adjust it. Malie tied the ropes with Pōkole. Keoni checked the water and looks at Moana with a nod. Moana uses the stars to be their guide to find Te Fiti before preparing to sail. Aliikai took off to the sky and Makaio dives in the water. they followed their friends through the ocean as they head out to save the world.

'I am Moana of Motunui. Aboard my boat, I and my friends will sail across the sea. And restore the Heart of Te Fiti.'

Moana and Keoni looked up ahead, their eyes are filled with determination as they set sail to Te Fiti and bring back life to the islands once more. And ready to face off Te Kā. But they didn't know that they were being watched. Hidden beneath the fogbank was a sea stack and perched on it were five Vahloks. The Vahloks were able to find them and were about to capture Maui, but seeing the humans and their friends, they knew that they will restore Te Fiti. They decided to capture Maui later after they help them bring life back to their region. So, spreading their wings, the Vahloks silently took off and followed them towards their destination.

Where they will face the great evil.


I changed Keoni's scars to be a single scar on his right eye. I hope you guys understand.
