Chapter 10: Free Fall Jungle Terror!
A/N: ...The chapter title says it all. NEW WORLD EVERYONE! I REPEAT! NEW WORLD! I had a good laugh typing this chapter out. I hope you guys enjoy this!
"What kind of world do you think we'll see next?" Sora grinned. Kari smiled and looked out to the stars.
"Hopefully a world that is similar to home. Something tropical? I miss the palm trees," Kari answered.
"Your world must sound nice. Maybe once all of this over, why don't Donald and I pay a visit?" Goofy asked, with the ever constant smile on his face.
"Yeah! You guys will love it there!" Sora gushed.
"Oh, look!" Kari gasped, pointing ahead of them. A world was just coming to view. It was mostly green of nature. It appeared as a tropical forest.
"Either Kari is psychic or this is a good coincidence. Ready to land, Donald?" Sora asked, placing his hand on the back of Donald's chair. Everyone looked at the duck expectantly and was shocked by his response.
"Let's keep going!" Donald declared.
"But Donal-" Goofy started to protest only for him to cut him off.
"I said let's keep going! The King wouldn't dare set foot onto that world like that!" Donald scoffed. Kari gasped and glared at the duck.
"Now wait a minute here! As Keybearers it is our job to lock the keyholes and save the worlds! Just cause your 'precious king' isn't there doesn't mean they don't need our help!" Kari snapped.
"I'm agreeing with Kari, Donald. That's wrong. And what if Riku and Kairi are there?" Sora added in, glaring at the duck as well. Donald's face turned red as he glared at the two.
"I'm the pilot and what I say goes! This world is a dump!" He spat, pushing some buttons on the console.
"Hey! Our island looks like this world, so if this world is a dump then so is our home! Gimme the wheel!" Kari snapped, grabbing the yoke. (If you didn't know, a yoke is steering wheel inside planes. The more you know!)
"Get off!" Donald jumped, pushing her away by the face.
"Hey! Don't push her!" Sora yelled, grabbing Donald by the back of his shirt. Poor Goofy sat in his seat, watching the violence unfold.
"Ah! Let go of my hair!" Kari wailed.
"Let go of my beak!"
"Get off of her!" The ship began to rock violently but the three didn't seem to notice.
"Get off of me duck or you're going to regret it!"
"Stop acting like a kid and sit down!"
"Hey! Have you looked at us lately!? We are kids!"
"You're not helping, Sora!"
"Uh, guys?" Goofy butted in as red lights began to flash in the ship.
"What!?" All three snapped, looking at Goofy.
"What is this?" He pointed to the console, a screen flashing 'WARNING'.
"Everyone sit down and strap in!" Donald yelled in a panic, frantically pushing buttons.
"Warning, warning! Misuse of vessel initiate factory reset." A computerized female voice spoke through the ship.
"No reset! Reset!" Donald cried. The ship rocked violently once again.
"Donald!?" Kari stumbled to the floor before she can reach her seat.
"Kari!" Sora gasped, rushing out of his seat to her side. He helped her sit up, examining her. "Are you okay?" Kari blushed and nodded.
"Ye-yeah," She answered.
"I told you two to sit down!" Donald yelled just as the lights flickered. The engine went to an abrupt stop, a low humming being heard. "Oh no!" He cried as the ship sailed down into the world below them. The nose of the ship pointing towards the atmosphere.
"Sora!" Kari cried and buried her face into the boys chest.
"Hold on!" Sora yelled, holding her tightly. "Kari, I got you!" Everyone screamed as they felt the force pushing at them as they made their decent.
"We gotta jump!" Donald yelled.
"Are you crazy!?" Kari yelled.
"What!?" Sora and Goofy both gasped.
"Let's go!" Donald pulled the doors open, a blast of wind rushing into the ship. Sora covered Kari from the intense wind. There eyes met, both uncertain.
"I won't let go," He vowed, his tone serious. Kari took a large gulp and nodded, grabbing his hand.
"Let's go!" She said and all at once, they jumped out of the ship and to the world below. Unfortunately the force of the air between them, Kari's hand slipped from Sora's, separating them. "Sora!" She cried, reaching for his hand.
"Kari!" Sora reached back for her, his eyes wide. They were both blown away from each other as the ship came hurtling in between them and plummeting into the world with a loud explosion below. From the distance she heard Donald and Goofy crying out. "Kari!" She heard Sora cry out once more before losing sight of him and crash landing through a fabric and landed hard onto a pile of soft pillows. The air within her lungs was pushed out of her.
"Oh!" A shocked voice was heard from next to here. "Oh my goodness! What on Earth happened to you!?" Kari gasped and looked up beside her, her vision blurred. "Are you alright?" All she could make out was hazel green eyes. The most beautiful shade she has ever seen. They reminded her of the sun shining through the trees. Long brown hair swept over sun kissed skin, golden highlights shimmering through the strands. Kari stared up at the girl with dazed eyes.
"You'll be okay. I got you," The girl said, giving a soft smile and placed her hand on Kari's cheek. Didn't she have an accent earlier? "Shh, I got you," She cooed, parting her lips and a soft hush. Kari couldn't hold on anymore as her eyes rolled to the back of her head and she slipped into unconsciousness.
