To my loyal fans and readers, welcome back to the next chapter of Twilight Town's Wielder. Deep Jungle… I think we are at. And then it's back to Traverse Town where Olette will be battling someone from her past – I cannot wait to write that. Who knows? It might be fun to do! Plus, something bad will happen to Olette during her battle in Traverse Town.
Also, for Chains of Destiny – I'm thinking of including Sonic Adventure 1 as a world – namely the first battle against Doctor Eggman in the Mystic Ruins and the first stage Windy Valley – I think it was called. So, yeah. In the fanfiction, based on the second game – It will be set during Sonic Adventure 2. I just hope I do a good job when that time comes.
Anyways, let's get started. I do not own Kingdom Hearts nor its characters – Everything is owned by Tetsuya Nomura.
Well, good luck to me!
Chapter 10 – Welcome to the Jungle.
The group left the Olympus Coliseum and continued on their quest to find the King. On the ship, Pluto was currently laying on Olette's lap being petted by her while Donald and Goofy were flying the ship. After a few minutes of flying, the group reached a new world with trees, a wooden house and a fountain.
"Hey, Donald, maybe King Mickey's down there." Goofy said.
"In a backwater place like that? No way! Let's move on." Donald said.
"Wait! We can't leave yet – my friends Roxas and Fuu might be down there." Olette said.
"Forget it! We're on an important mission!" Donald said.
"You selfish jerk! Land!" Olette said angrily.
"No! We are not landing!" Donald said.
"Land the ship, please!" Olette pleaded.
"I'm sorry Olette, but the answer is no!" Donald said.
At that point, Olette started crying, as she pushed Donald away and took over the ship's controls.
"You idiot! I'm landing this ship!" Olette said angrily with tears running down her eyelids, as she pushed a button.
"Olette, don't touch that! Nooo!" Donald said, as the ship started to shake and soon it hurtled towards the world.
Olette and Pluto were falling in the air into a large treehouse, as they crashed through the roof. The brown-haired girl sat on the floor rubbing her head while the dog was watching her with sad look on his face.
"Oww… what hit me?" Olette said, as she looked around.
"Donald? Goofy?" Olette said in a scared tone.
Luckily, Pluto was there to comfort her with a hug and a lick to her face.
"Thanks, Pluto. I'm glad you're here with me. Stupid Donald! Him and his stupid rules!" Olette said angrily.
Unbeknownst to her, a claw appeared up in the rafters. Olette heard a growling noise and to her shock, she looked up and saw a leopard pouncing in her direction. She took out her Keyblade and blocked his attack. The brown-haired girl and the dog jumped back, as the leopard landed on the wooden floor and knocked Olette and Pluto away.
"Pluto, go and hide somewhere. I can take care of this." Olette said to Pluto, as he nodded. The dog ran away and hid someplace safe where the leopard couldn't find him.
The creature roared and tried to attack her with its claws, however Olette delivered a couple of hits from her Keyblade which sent the leopard flying backwards. The beast got up and tried attacking the brown-haired girl once again, however she dodged at the last second. Olette casted Thunder and hit the leopard which sent him flying backwards again. It got and attack her with its claws – a small scratch, but it wasn't enough to defeat her. She delivered the final hit on the leopard to which the creature fell unconscious on the floor. Olette walked closer to see if it was alive and as it turns out – it was! The leopard got up and roared, as some else entered through a hole in the celling. The creature was about to attack Olette, when an unknown man blocks his bite with a spear in hand. The man attempted to attack the leopard, however it snarled and jumped through the window.
After the battle with the leopard ended, Olette got a better look at the man. He had long brown dreadlocks and blue eyes. He was wearing a loincloth over his toned body. The man kneeled in front of Olette like an animal, as Pluto walked over to the brown-haired girl.
"Sabor, danger." The man said.
"Um… thank you, I guess." Olette said.
"Thank you." The man repeated slowly.
"Huh? What… exactly is this place?" Olette asked the man.
"This place, this place." The man repeated, as he awkwardly invaded Olette's personal space.
"Ummm… do you happen to know where everyone is?" Olette asked, but got no response from the man.
"Look, I really need some help in finding my friends. Have you seen them?" Olette asked, as the man looked confused.
"Friends…" Olette mimicked.
"Friends!" The man replied.
"Yes, my friends! There's two of them. The loud one is Dona-" Olette stops herself, as she remembered the fight of the ship.
"Scratch that. I'm looking for my real friends – Roxas and Fuu." Olette said.
"Look for Fuu, friends?" The man replied slowly.
"Yes!" Olette said and nodded.
However, when Olette looked behind the man, she saw an image of… Roxas!? He was here!?
"Roxas, friends?" The man said.
"Yeah… sure…" Olette said, as she looked back at the man and then back at Roxas who walked away.
"Friends here." The man said.
"Wait, really!?" Olette said happily.
Just then, the man began to speak in an unknown language.
"Uh?" Olette said in a confused tone.
The man spoke in the unknown language again.
"Friends here." The man repeated.
"I don't know what you said, but take me with you! Take me to Roxas and Fuu!" Olette said.
"Tarzan. Tarzan go." The man called Tarzan introduced himself.
"And I'm… Olette. Tarzan go, Olette go go!" Olette said with a smile.
Tarzan opened the door and all of them left the treehouse. Meanwhile, in a Bamboo Thicket – Donald and Goofy were sitting on a mound.
"Gawrsh, where are we?" Goofy said, as he looked at the sky.
"I sure hope Olette's okay." Goofy said.
Donald sat up and said angrily. "Aw, who needs her? We can find the king without her." Donald said, as he attempted to pick up his staff.
However, he felt something soft on the edge of the mound while reaching for his staff.
"Huh?" Donald said, as he came face to face with a young gorilla. They both screamed, as rustling came from the jungle. The gorilla ran away in fear, as a new Gummi piece fell to the floor with Donald looking at it. The rustling continued, as the duck wizard and Goofy swallowed in fear. Just then, a man with brown hair with a streak of white and a small mustache entered. He had a yellow shirt, tan trousers and a gun in his hand.
Meanwhile, back in the treehouse – Tarzan jumped from the balcony and landed on the netting below with Olette and Pluto joining him soon afterwards. The trio were lead down by a tree by sliding on its branches. Soon, they landed in a camp where several tables with equipment were set up near a group of tents. They entered an orange tent where a woman with long brown hair, white sleeveless shirt and tall red skirt was working on a projector.
"Jane!" Tarzan said.
"Tarzan!" The woman called Jane said, as she turned around.
Just then, she saw Olette and Pluto.
"Oh, and who are these?" Jane asked.
"Um, hey there. I'm-" Olette began, but was cut off by Jane.
"Oh, you speak English! So, then, obviously, you're not related to Tarzan…" Jane said, as Olette and Tarzan exchanged glances.
"Are you here to study the gorillas?" Jane asked.
"Highly doubtful." An unknown voice said.
They looked over to see a tall man with a rifle entering the tent. More surprisingly – Donald and Goofy was with them.
"Olette! Pluto!" Goofy said.
"Goofy! You're okay!" Olette said with a smile, as she hugged him.
"Hey, what about me?" Donald asked in an annoyed tone.
"You don't deserve anything from me." Olette said in a cold tone, as she crossed her arms.
"Humph, fine!" Donald said, as he crossed his arms as well.
Goofy just sighed sadly.
"A circus of clowns. Not much use for hunting gorillas." The man said, as he walked back outside.
Olette became shocked. "You hunt gorillas!? Why!?" She asked.
"Mr. Clayton, we're studying them, not hunting them. This is research." Jane said with a frown to the man known as Clayton. However, he already left the tent.
She sighed and turned back to the group. "Well, the more the merrier. Do make yourselves at home." She said to them.
"Well, okay." Olette said.
"I'm staying as well." Donald said.
"Olette, look what we found. Look at this." Goofy said, as he showed Olette the Gummi piece.
"What's that?" Olette asked.
"A gummi block. It's the same stuff used to build our ship." Goofy explained to her.
"Wait a minute, could that mean…" Olette began and Donald finished the sentence for her.
"The king could be here. We'll stick together and look for him – for now." Donald said.
"Okay… for now, we'll work together." Olette said.
Olette walked over to Jane and asked. "Say, Jane. We can't speak properly with Tarzan. Do you know how we can communicate with him?"
"Well, Olette – Apparently Tarzan was raised in the jungle by the gorillas. Communicating with him still isn't easy, but he's learning." Jane explained.
"So that's what he spoke to us - in gorilla…" Olette said.
"Ah, that's right. You're looking for your friends?" Jane said.
"That's right. But, I couldn't understand him…" Olette said.
"Why don't we try this?" Jane said, as she showed her the projector. "We'll show Tarzan some slides and see if any of them match that word." Jane said, as she started the projector – but no slides appeared.
"Oh, what happened to the slides?" Jane said.
"Don't worry. We'll find them." Olette said, as the group walked outside leaving Pluton inside to sleep for a while.
Finding the slides was a very easy job – it only took about a minute to find them all. The group returned to the tent and gave them to Jane who started the projector. The first slide showed the picture of a radiant castle to which Olette became surprised.
"What's wrong, Olette?" Goofy asked.
"Huh? Oh, nothing… I was just thinking about the castle in the picture. It looks… so familiar… But… how? I have never left Twilight Town in my whole life." Olette said quietly.
The group and Jane showed Tarzan the rest of the slides.
"Well, Tarzan?" Jane asked.
"Can you help me find my friends?" Olette asked, but Tarzan shook his head.
"Hey, but I thought-" Olette said, but was cut off by Clayton entering the tent.
"That leaves just one place." Clayton said, as Olette looked up at him.
"Young lady, we've been in this jungle for some time now. But we have yet to encounter these friends of yours. I'd wager they're with the gorillas. But Tarzan refuses to take us to them." Clayton said.
"Really, Mr. Clayton. Tarzan wouldn't hide-" Jane began, but was cut off by Clayton.
"Then take us there! Take us to the gorillas." Clayton said, as he walked over to Tarzan.
"Go-ril-las." Clayton mimicked Tarzan's voice.
Tarzan looked over to Olette and nodded.
"Tarzan… are you sure?" Jane asked in a worried tone.
"Tarzan go see Kerchak." Tarzan said.
"Kerchak?" Jane asked.
"He must be the leader. Perfect. I'll go along as an escort. After all, the jungle is a dangerous place." He said with a smile on his face. Olette felt a sudden tingle in her stomach – Something told her that Clayton would mess things up. Especially for the poor gorillas.
After a while, the group and Tarzan found themselves in the upper part of the woods. Two gorillas were sitting on the top branch – one was black-furred, while the other was brown-furred. Tarzan began to speak in his animal language.
"Kerchak, please listen to me. I know the nesting ground is secret, but I trust them. You see, I want to help them because… because… well, they need us." Tarzan said to the black-furred gorilla known as Kerchak.
Goofy leaned closer to Olette and Donald and asked. "Uh… Did you get that?"
"No." Donald simply said.
"Kerchak." Tarzan pleaded with him again.
However, Kerchak turned his head silently towards the treetops – it was like he was sensing something. He began to leave.
"Kerchak…" Tarzan said in a sad tone, as the brown-furred gorilla left as well.
"He seemed sorta distracted by something." Goofy thought to himself.
"Was he looking toward the tree house?" Donald thought to himself.
Meanwhile, inside the treehouse – a young gorilla was currently playing with a globe, unaware of the danger that was about to come. For you see – Clayton was also there with his rifle in hand! He was about to fire when suddenly Donald came up to him and screamed in his ears. The bullet narrowly missed the young gorilla who ran away behind Kerchak who had just arrived. Olette, Goofy and Tarzan had just arrived.
"What's the big idea?" Donald said.
"Wait, Kerchak, please!" Tarzan pleaded one final time, however Kerchak just scowled and walked away followed by the young gorilla.
The group and Tarzan glared at Clayton.
"How could you hurt that poor gorilla!? Jane trusted you! I thought that I could trust you!" Olette said and then ran away crying back to the camp.
"Olette!" Donald said.
"Come back!" Goofy said.
"Olette…" Tarzan said and then turned his attention towards Clayton who smiled nervously.
"You don't understand. I was only trying to… Ah. A snake slithered by, you see. I saved that poor gorilla's life." Clayton said, but Tarzan lowered his head in sadness.
"What now?" Goofy asked.
"Let's go and tell Jane about this. We have to find Olette as well." Donald said with Tarzan and Goofy nodding.
The group returned to the tent and told Jane everything. Needless to say, she was very mad.
"How could you do such a thing!" Jane said angrily.
"Now, Miss Porter, as I told you, I was not aiming at the gorillas." Clayton said.
"You are not to go near the gorillas again!" Jane said angrily.
"All because of one mishap? Come, on…" Clayton said with a smirk.
However, everybody was glaring at him and so he exited the tent quietly with a nervous laugh. When he turned around, he grinned cruelly and exited the tent. He took out his rifle and said. "What am I doing with these imbeciles?"
"Blasted gorillas! I'll hunt down every last one of them! I'll track them down somehow." Clayton said, as he took out his pipe.
"I'll stake my life on it." Clayton said, but before the pipe could reach his mouth he heard a rustling noise in the jungle and aimed his rifle. The noise got closer and closer and he pulled the trigger – the sound rang out loud and clear.
"What was that?" Donald said.
"Oh, oh. That sounds bad." Goofy said.
"Clayton." Tarzan said.
The trio walked outside and to their shock, a gorilla was being surrounded by Heartless that looked just like monkeys.
"Heartless!" Donald said.
Donald casted Thunder in the air and destroyed two Heartless, while Goofy bashed some of them with his shield, Tarzan defeated the rest with his spear. The battle was over, as the young gorilla ran to safety. The trio returned to the tent to speak with Jane.
"Is the gorilla okay?" Jane asked and the group nodded.
"Good. Say, where is your friend – Olette?" Jane asked.
"I'm here." A familiar voice said, as the trio turned to see Olette entering the tent with a sad look on her face.
"Olette! Are you okay?" Goofy asked her.
"I'm fine… Just sad, that's all… What's going on?" Olette asked.
"The Heartless are here on this world as well!" Donald said to which Olette was shocked.
"What!? How did they get here!?" Olette asked.
"We don't know! I bet it was Clayton that brought them here!" Donald said to which Olette nodded.
"Then we must go and save the gorillas!" Olette said.
Olette and her group left the tent and began exploring the entire jungle for any signs of Clayton. On the way, they were battling Heartless and protecting the gorillas from them. But… they couldn't find Clayton anywhere.
"Still no sign of him…" Olette said.
"Let's go and see Jane." Donald said.
The group returned to the tent and spoke with Jane.
"Any luck yet?" Jane asked them, but they shook their heads sadly.
"I do hope Mr. Clayton is safe…" Jane said.
The group exited the tent and at that moment, a gunshot rang out from the direction of the Bamboo Thicket.
"What was that?" Olette asked.
"Only one person is responsible for that - Clayton." Donald said and the group nodded.
They ran into the thicket where Clayton's pipe laid on the mound. At the moment, Sabor the leopard landed in the area and began to attack the group. Olette delivered a couple of hits from her Keyblade to which the beast was knocked back. It got up and began to attack Tarzan, but the man blocked it with his spear. Donald casted Blizzard at the leopard and Goofy bashed it with his shield. The leopard jumped back and entered the tall bamboo to which the group and Tarzan wait for him to come out. He did and the beast began to attack them yet again. Eventually, after a while – the leopard lost consciousness and fell to the ground losing a fang in the process. Meanwhile, back at the campsite, a young gorilla was currently running past the numerous Heartless and into the tent to which Jane was frightened and knocked to the ground. Jane held the young animal tightly, as someone entered the tent – she became terrified at his appearance as she held the gorilla in her hand.
Meanwhile, back in the mound...
"Great, Clayton is still nowhere to be found…" Olette said sadly.
"We should go and tell Jane." Donald said.
"Yep, let's go and tell her." Olette said, as the group began walking back to the camp.
Finally, done! Part 1 of Deep Jungle is finished and soon Part 2 will be coming up. Plus, the battle with Nexus is coming up soon. Olette will seriously know what he is capable of, but will she beat him – that is the ultimate question? Find out when we reached the return to Traverse Town Chapter.
Whelp, at least – this chapter is done and now… Time to return to Chains of Destiny and get on with Sora's corruption! Mw, ha, ha, ha! Maka will seriously not tell the difference. Also, Medusa will be fighting only one unpredictable character of the group – can you guess who it is? I'm sure you can…
Anyways, that's all from me for now. Enjoy this wonderful chapter and as always – review and fave! That's it for now! See you next time! Bye!
