My Pov

Jane had told us that Tarzan had been raised by the gorillas and it wasn't easy trying to communicate with him. She thought using the projector would help. Good thing I picked up those slides. When the first slide came up, something in me stirred.

"Sora? Hikari? Are you both alright?" Goofy asked.

"Yeah." Sora said. I just nodded. My heart was fluttering a little. That place looked familiar. Was Sora feeling this sensation too? But why? I might have been to that place before, but Sora couldn't have. I noticed Eve's tail slightly wagging. Did she recognize it too? Jane showed that last five slides and then turned to Tarzan.

"Well, Tarzan?" Jane asked.

"Where are our friends, Riku and Kairi?" Sora asked. Tarzan, sadly, shook his head, as if to say 'You're friends aren't here'.

"But, I thought that..." I said.

"That leaves just one place. Young lady, you and you're friend listen. We've been in this jungle for some time now. But we have yet to encounter these friends of yours. I'd wager they were with the gorillas. But Tarzan refuses to take us to them." Clayton said. Gee, I wonder why. I knew this guy was out to hurt those poor creatures.

"Really, Mr. Clayton. Tarzan wouldn't hide-" Jane said.

"Then take us there! Take us to the gorillas. Go-ril-las." Clayton said. Tarzan looked at me and Sora and then nodded his head. What was he looking at us?

"Tarzan... are you sure?" Jane asked.

"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." Clayton said. I saw him smirk. I didn't like this guy one bit. We followed Tarzan to where the gorillas were suppose to be. There, we saw a female gorilla and a large gorilla who, I assumed, was Kerchak.

"(Kerchak, please listen to me. I know the nesting grounds are secret, but I trust them. You see, I want to help them because... because... well, they need us)." Tarzan said.

"Did anyone get that?" Goofy asked.

"No." Donald said.

"(Kerchak)." Tarzan said. The leader looked off in another direction and then left. "(Kerchak...)." I guess it did go to well. That's when I notice Clayton hadn't followed us. Where was he?

"Guys, Clayton isn't here." I said. Tarzan seemed the most worried and we hurried back to the tree house. I was the first one there. I saw Clayton pointing his rifle at something. I looked through the window to see a gorilla playing with a globe. He was going to shoot that poor animal! I felt rage building up in me. "Stop it!" I ran toward him. He started to pull the trigger. Darkness began to form around me. I couldn't calm down. "I said STOP IT!" I shot a blast of black fire from my hand and it hit his hand.

"Arrgh!" Clayton cried. He screamed in pain and dropped his rifle. The gorilla hurried up to the balcony just as everyone else showed up.

"What's the big idea!" Donald yelled.

"(Wait, Kerchak. Please!)" Tarzan cried. Tarzan's pleas fell on deaf ears. The mighty leader turned and walked away. The gorilla I had saved looked at me and then followed Kerchak.

"You don't understand. I was only trying to... Ah. A snake slithered by, you see. I saved that poor gorillas life." Clayton lied. 'Saved' my foot! This guy was going to end up hurting someone and by someone, I mean the gorillas. We headed back to camp and told Jane what had happened. Man, was she mad.

"How could you do such a thing!" Jane exclaimed.

"Now, Miss Porter, as I told you, I was not aiming at the gorilla." Clayton said.

"You are not to go near the gorillas again!" Jane said.

"All because of one mishap? Come now..." Clayton said. He saw all of us giving him harsh looks and knew Jane was serious. He left the tent. "I'm not the threat to the gorillas. That girl is! She's a monster!" Being called that word felt like someone had run a knife through my heart.

"Don't you dare call her that!" Sora snapped. Clayton had already left the tent. Sora walked up to me and gently grabbed my shoulders. "Hikari, don't listen to him. You' re not a monster." Sora wouldn't be saying that if he had seen me. My rage had become darkness. Eve jumped up to me and licked my cheek. I was startled by the sound of a gunshot echoing through the air. I gripped onto Sora's jacket. He placed his hands on my head and back. "It's okay, Hikari." We hurried out of the tent to see a gorilla being attacked by Heartless.

"Guys, we have to save the gorilla!" I said. After saving it, we had to save 3 other gorillas. Then, we hurried to the cliff to see Heartless and Clayton. He went to shoot the female gorilla that had been with Kerchak as Heartless jumped ambushed the leader from above.

"No!" Sora cried. Clayton turned his attention to us, which allowed the gorillas to escape. "Clayton?"

"Not Clayton! *&&X%! Not Clayton!" Tarzan said. He started to shoot at us. We each jumped out of the way. I managed to sneak up behind him and hit him in the back. He stumbled, then regained his posture. He pointed his rifle upward and the whole rock wall exploded. Tarzan ran to attack Clayton, but he was pushed back. I heard I thrilling sound and saw Clayton floating in midair. Great. Another problem. It took awhile, but we managed to get the Heartless to drop its invisibility. Sora sent out Pikipek and I sent out Amphy. When Pikipek landed a Rock Smash attack on the Heartless, she started glowing. Her body grew until the glow faded.

"Trum!" Pikipek cried.

"Pikipek evolved into Trumbeak!" Sora exclaimed. The Heartless became even more erratic.

"Sora, together we use Thunder on Amphy!" I said. He nodded. We lifted our Keyblades in the air and shouted 'Thunder'. Two bolts of lightning hit Amphy. He started charging power. "Amphy, Discharge!"

"Trumbeak, use Protect!" Sora said. A bubble appeared around Trumbeak before Amphy let loose a powerful electric wave. After everything settled down, Kerchak came up to us. He grabbed me and Sora and flung us over to the top of the ledge. Donald and Goofy followed soon after. Tarzan climbed up the ledge to join us.

"Tarzan, home." Tarzan said. We had come to a waterfall and drinking hole. Listening to the sound of rushing water reminded me of the small drinking pool back home. Home... Was it even there anymore after what happened? We followed Tarzan into the cavern and came to a cave where a large, vine-covered tree grew. There were a lot of blue butterflies blocking something that was shining. "*&&X%."

"This is your home? But that means..." Sora said. Tarzan held up his hand and then placed it to his ear.

"Huh?" Goofy asked.

"The waterfalls... They're echoing all the way here." Jane said.

"*&&X%. Friends there. See friends." Tarzan said.

"I think I get it now. When Tarzan says *&&X%, he's actually saying 'heart'. We see friends in our hearts." I said.

"Heart..." Tarzan mumbled.

"Oh, so that's what it meant." Sora said. I knew Sora was disappointed. So was I. But, why did I see Riku in the tree house before? And what had Sora seen?

"Friends, same heart. Clayton, lose heart. No heart, no see friends. No heart, no friends." Tarzan said.

"Sorry about what I said." Sora apologized.

"I'm sorry too." Donald said. I was so happy to see Sora and Donald had decided to stop fighting with each other. I hugged Sora and Goofy pulled us all into a huddle.

"Yeah. All for one, huh?" Goofy asked. That's when the butterflies moved from the glow and revealed the Keyhole. Starlight and Kingdom Key appeared in our hands. We pointed them at the Keyhole. A beam of light shot from them and locked it. Then, another gummi block fell from the Keyhole.

"A gummi!" Donald said.

"But it's sure not the king's." Goofy said. The gorilla I helped in the tree house walked up and kinda nudged Donald.

"I think someone has a new admirer." Jane said. Donald frantically shook his head.

"No, no, no, no! Daisy would kill me!" Donald exclaimed. Me, Sora and Goofy laughed at our silly friend.

The bold parts Tarzan was speaking were translated so people could understand what he was saying, as he spoke gorilla.
