Kingdom Hearts: Supreme Adventure
By: DJ Rodriguez
(Author's Notes: Hey everyone! I am back, and I am ready to get to work! Sorry about the delay, but was also working on my other fanfic, Harry Potter and the Survivors of Isla Sorna. But thankfully, I also found the energy to do this fanfic!
Get ready to see Sora's Vigor form, and also see him and Cody ride on Mahaute! Plus, get ready to see new Melder-types in the Outback! Sora and his ladies will have their work cut out for them. In addition, the Gullwings will be able to inform Sora of some rare treasure that will be helpful to him later on.
Before I go, I just want to say this. My friend at Fanfiction has a story called Christmas Gone Ron, and it's a Kim Possible fanfic. I hope that he updates it, but for him to do that, he needs more readers and reviewers. So, I hope any of you out there goes and reads it.
Now, on with the fanfic!)
Riding the Great Golden Eagle
A loud sound was being blasted off deep in the jungle of the Outback, and everyone would be surprised to see that the sound was coming from a large female kangaroo. The beautiful animal was blowing on a large, hollow tree trunk like a trumpet. Emerging from the thick brush was Cody, followed by his animal companions which consisted of a family of wombats, some small native birds, and a spiny anteater known as an echidna. "Who's caught this time?" Cody asked as he went to her.
The kangaroo hopped over to him and answered "You don't know her, Cody. Her name is Mahaute, the Great Golden Eagle!" That got the attention of the animals. Mahaute was a beautiful, powerful eagle that was many times the size of a normal one. She was also very rare as well, most likely the last of her kind.
Cody asked "Where is she?". His friend answered that she was on the top of a cliff a ways from here, caught in a poacher's net. Cody had been saving and freeing many animals from poacher traps for a while, so all of them trusted him greatly.
The young lad had a determined look in his eyes and stated firmly "I'll get her loose!". The kangaroo was about to let him on her back so she could take him to the place, but froze when she saw someone else emerge from the brush. Three someone's to be exact. Coming out was Sora, Ariel, and Jasmine.
"Hey. We heard what was going on, so we want to help too." Sora stated to the animals. Cody introduced them to his friends, telling everyone that these three people had helped him when he was attacked by the Heartless. He said that these three could be trusted.
The kangaroo stated "Oh dear, I hope these Heartless creatures do not go after Mahaute."
Jasmine said "Well, we have to hurry to her then. Those Heartless will go after any being with a strong heart, be they animal or human. Once they capture the heart, the being turns into a Heartless itself.". Cody exclaimed that he would not let that happen, and he quickly jumped on the kangaroo's back.
"Come on, let's go!" he exclaimed, and he bounded off on his friend. Sora and the girls were surprised and impressed by Cody's courage and drive to protect his animal friends.
"I got to admit, he has bravery for someone so small." Ariel commented. Sora agreed with her, then raced on after him. The princesses followed, knowing that on the way, they would most likely meet up with more Heartless. Perhaps even a Melder or two…
~The Outback Trail~
Sora and his two female companions followed an worn out trail, one had been used a lot by the animals. Jungle was all around them, flora and fauna all around them. Cody and his friend were bounding ahead, keeping a steady pace as the three heroes/heroines followed. The Keyblade wielders were impressed to see an animal such as the one Cody was riding was able to keep a good speed while at the same time not looking tired at all. However, their musings were cut short when from the brush and also on the ground emerged Heartless Shadows and also a new type of Heartless. This new Heartless looked to be like a large dog, didn't look anything like the ones found in Hades domain. It sported red and black stripes on the back end, the Heartless crest on its neck like a collar.
"Whoa! Never seen that type of Heartless before!" Sora exclaimed as he prepared for battle. The black creatures surrounded the group, making Cody's friend stop. She used her rear legs and tail to stand up, making her taller. If need be, she could use her tail as a balance of sort to steady herself when using her powerful legs to deliver awesome kicks.
"Protect Cody and his friend!" Ariel shouted out, and that was what they intended to do. The Shadows were easy targets, considering that they were the weakest of the group. Jasmine and Ariel delivered fast, swift slicing strikes against their foes, almost making them beautiful dancers of punishment. Sora preferred to use overhead attacks, smashing and bashing the little black devils into dust.
However, the new type of Heartless were slightly tougher and more resilient. They carefully circled the Keyblade holders, and striking any time they saw a chance to. Their jaws had crushing power, that much was true when Sora dodged a strike and the new Heartless crushed a Shadow into dust. Fortunately, the strike took up a good portion of its energy, and it stood their panting, almost like it was trying to catch its breath. Jasmine and Sora double-teamed one of them, and it took about six or so strikes before the new being vanished in a cloud of smoke.
Once the area was clear, Cody's powerful kangaroo ally finishing the last of the new Heartless off with a mighty kick double kick from its feet. "Those creatures… they looked like Tasmanian Tigers. But, those animals have been extinct for years." Cody commented on the foes they just faced.
Sora thought on it and replied "Then we'll call those things Terror Tigers.". He saw the quizzical looks that were directed at him from the group, and said that they had to have some kind of name. The princesses showed small smiles and shook their head at Sora's actions. Seeing that the area was now clear of danger, the group took off towards the cliff again.
As they were running, Sora got a call from Yuna. Her voice came in his ear, "Sora! Sora! We got something for you!".
Rikku exclaimed excitedly, "We found some treasure! The ship radar thingy is beeping, and some yellow X's are showing! Near your location, as a matter of fact.". Sora asked on how they knew the X's indicated treasure, and that is when Paine came in.
She answered "We managed to install a treasure tracker into the ship's computer. Now, it'll show us treasure in places you and the others may have missed."
Sora stated "Thanks a lot girls! Really appreciate it. We'll check it out later, after we help someone get free." The communications were turned off, and it was back on the adventure.
~Cliff Base~
It took a long while for the others to make it to where they needed to be, due to the crazy amounts of Heartless Shadows and Terror Tigers they fought along the way. Fortunately, Cody and his friend was unharmed. Now standing before them was a large cliff that really climbed up towards the heavens. "Mahaute is up there, on the top of that cliff. Be careful, little friend." the female kangaroo said as she let Cody off her back. Sora, Ariel, and Jasmine looked up and saw that while the cliff was indeed very tall and dangerous, it was not difficult to climb. There was places where one could put their hands and feet into to get a good foothold.
"Okay everyone, wish me luck." Cody said as he strapped his pack on tight and went to the cliff's base to climb up.
"Hold on, Cody! We're coming with you." Sora stated.
Jasmine added "The Heartless are after us, and they may be after Mahaute as well. We'll help you go up there and get her free.".
Ariel added "Besides, I think we all want to see what she looks like. We've never seen a Great Golden Eagle before.". Cody smiled at them and thanked them for their help. He then started to climb upward, and the Keyblade wielders followed. For the princesses, it was a bit more difficult for them to ascend. Ariel and Jasmine had never actually scaled cliffs before, and none of this magnitude. However, with Sora and Cody's help and encouragement, they managed to keep up with them. However, they were about ¼ the way up when they encountered flying Heartless and Nobodies.
"Look out! We got Rapid Thrusters and Creepers coming in from the sides!" Sora called out. The Heartless Rapid Thrusters were fairly weak and straightforward, but they were a pain in large groups. The Creepers had used their shape-shifting abilities to become flying enemies, almost looking like a silver sparrow.
Cody managed to avoid a nasty thrust from one of the Creepers and exclaimed "What are these silver things?!". Sora explained while battling on what the Nobodies were, empty husks of ones who had their hearts taken by the Heartless and that they gained wills of their own to become what they are now. More or less, Nobodies were simply empty echoes of the heart.
Ariel shouted "Sora, it's not easy to fight when we're up here like this!". She was correct in that department. The three had to fight the enemies, but doing so while keeping their footing and hands on the cliff's rugged side was not easy.
He answered "Don't worry! Just do what you can and call for help if you need it!". After some time, the four finally defeated the wave of Heartless and Nobodies.
They continued their ascent, and about the ½ way point, they met up with Heartless Driller Moles and Hook Bats that shot from holes that were drilled by the previous Heartless. "Don't these things ever give up?!" Jasmine exclaimed as she batted away a few of the bats and kept at bay a pesky mole that used its small tires to stick on the cliff. They now had special spiked treads on their tire feet that allowed them to stick to vertical surfaces, like the cliff's side.
Ariel thought of something, then exclaimed "Sora! Let's use our magic to keep the bats at bay while Jasmine takes care of the mole enemies!". Sora really had to admire Ariel's quick thinking, and switching their magic from Slash-mode to Standard-mode, they shot Blizzard projectiles at them. The ice spells did twice the damage to the Hook Bats due to them being flying enemies, and thus it took only one to two shots to finish them off. Jasmine played a little version of "Whack-A-Mole" to defeat the pesky critters, but she managed to hang in there.
Continuing on, at the final leg of the climb, they ran into Heartless Creeper Plants and Aerial Knockers. "Come on, everyone! We're almost there!" Cody shouted out as he continued to climb. He almost got his hand bit by one of the Creeper Plants, but luckily Ariel's ice shot hit the mark just in time. The Creeper Plants had attached their roots to the Cliffside, so they could not fall off. However, Sora showed them the Root Ravager Reaction technique, and one of the little plants fell to their doom down below. After seeing that, the girls knew what to do. Of course, they had to get close enough to stun the plant Heartless, but they managed to do well. The princesses took care of the garden problem, while Sora attended to their aerial problems. When it was all over, the group had zero magic left and it would take some time for the magic to recharge and fill back up.
"Thanks everyone! You're all doing great! Now come on, just a little more to go!" Cody said before resuming upwards. The Keyblade wielders were tired, but knew that saving someone was always worth the effort.
~Cliff Topside~
When the group finally reached the top, before them was a beautiful bird. It was huge! The sunlight showed that its wings were really like gold, and its head and body were covered in beautiful white feathers. Unfortunately, the majestic beast was tied down with thick strands of rope, pinning it to the cliff's topside. "Mahaute…" Cody whispered as he got his feet on the top.
When Sora and the princesses joined him, they too were in awe at the beauty and size of the creature. "Wow… she is beautiful…" Sora whispered as he gazed at the large eagle. Cody slowly approached her, and when the beast cocked her head to the side to see who it was, she started to panic. She lifted her head and screeched as she tried to fly away, but to no avail.
"I think she has had a run in with humans, and a bad one at that." Jasmine put in her thoughts. The others agreed, seeing that Mahaute was trying to flee badly.
Cody whispered "It's okay! It's okay… I'm not going to hurt you." His voice seemed to calm down the massive bird, and that is when Cody decided to get to work. He pulled from his pack his small pocketknife, so he could cut the ropes. However, that had a bad effect on Mahaute when she saw the blade. Bad memories came flooding into her mind, and she started to thrash and screech loudly!
"Mahaute! Calm down!" Cody cried out, but to no avail. Sora told Cody to just cut the ropes quick, otherwise things could go bad. Taking his advice, the little nipper started to cut one of the ropes. Unfortunately, that is when things got worse. Crawling up to meet the group were a lot of Shadows, and coming in from the sky were plenty of Aerial Knockers! Sora, Ariel, and Jasmine got in front of the struggling bird, their Keyblades out and ready.
"Cody, you continue to free her! We'll take care of these guys!" Sora commanded as he got ready.
It was a fierce battle, especially that there was little room to maneuver. Sora, Ariel, and Jasmine had their hands full with the Shadows and Knockers. It took them about ten minutes to defeat the entire horde, but when Ariel defeated the last of the Shadows… trouble arrived in the form of a Melder. A Heartless Air Pirate and a Nobody Dragoon emerged, and the two suddenly shot forward together and clashed in a brilliant flash of black and white light! The heroes and heroines shielded their eyes, and when the light finally receded and they opened them… a large, serpentine dragon was before them! It had the body characteristics of an Asian dragon, but the head of an anaconda. The wings were sharp and looked to be made of metals then feathers. The head was black with yellow eyes, and on top of its head was the Melder insignia. The body had black and white stripes, and seemed to be moving, rippling in the sunlight. Its forearms were slim, but had sharp, slicing claws on it. Born in this world was the Melder, Hunter Dragon!
"Oh man, that is one big dragon! It's as big as Mahaute!" Sora exclaimed as he stood ready.
Ariel stated "Sora, we can't defeat something of that size! Even with the three of us!"
Jasmine then shouted "Sora! Now's the time for us to fuse! Let's see if our new form can help us out!". Sora then remembered the orb the Three Good Fairies gave him, the Vigor Orb!
'Well, now is good a time as any to test it out.' he thought as he felt for the orb in his chest. Closing his eyes, he focused and started to feel for the power.
"Okay! Let's go! Jasmine, take my hand!" Sora yelled as the dragon moved closer to the group. The princess of Agrabah went to his side, and slide her slim left hand into his right one. With a yell of "GIVE ME STRENGTH!", there was a flash of purple light! Jasmine's body seemed to dissolve and was absorbed into Sora's body. After a few moments, the light died down and coming into play was Sora- Vigor Form! His clothes were now purple, and along with the Kingdom Key keyblade in his right hand, in his left was the Celestial Guide keyblade, the one the Fairies gave him earlier.
Ariel and Cody gasped in surprise at the new Sora before them. "Wow! That was incredible Sora! You look very strong now!" Ariel commented as she took in his new form.
Sora tested his newfound strength and abilities, feeling very confident and strong. 'I can't use magic, and I feel a bit slower. But, I think my strength and agility have increased greatly. This even feels greater then my Valor form when I fused with Goofy!' he thought. He turned up to see the Melder dragon staring hard at him, and it roared loudly, shaking the land and sky in the process.
Vigor Sora got into a stance, with Ariel at his side. "Cody, free Mahaute as quickly as possible! We'll do our part here!" he stated before he and Ariel charged at the beast!
Cody answered back "Okay! I'm on it!". He resumed working on the ropes to free the grand bird, who was struggling harder on seeing such a terrifying foe. Cody managed to get the last rope cut, and the eagle was free!
"You're free!" Cody exclaimed happily, but it was cut short when Mahaute's wings knocked him off the cliff. The young boy yelled out in surprise and fear when he started to fall. His form was falling down fast, and it would have been the end for the young hero… but fortunately, a friend came in to save him. It was Mahaute! The Great Golden Eagle had dived to save her savior, seeing that he was indeed a friendly human. She caught him on his back, and flew upwards just in time before they could meet the ground hard. Cody opened his eyes, and felt something soft underneath him. And the wind rushing over his body was also a sign that told him he was okay. He looked down, and saw that he was riding on Mahaute.
"Thank you, Mahaute! Thank you for saving me!" Cody exclaimed as he hugged the eagle's neck, the bird responding with a loud shriek. The young lad then turned his head, looked down, and saw that his friends were still fighting the Melder dragon.
"Girl, we need to help them! Turn around and let's go!" Cody pleaded, and the massive female bird made a U-turn to go back and help out. It would seem that Sora and his allies just gained some help that would be much needed. The battle was about to begin!
(Author's Notes: So, how did you like this one? A bit short, I know. But next chapter, the battle and also the introduction of one Disney villain that really should be in the Villains Hall of Fame. Let's see what happens next time!
Before I sign off, I have a question. What should aid McLeach when it's time for him to go up against Sora and the princesses? Should it be a Heartless, a Nobody, or a Melder? Plus, what should our heroes find when it's time to go back and look for the treasure that the Gullwings informed them about?
R&R, no flames, enjoy, and leave long reviews!)
